A reality TV show is supposed to be coming in which ten teams compete with one another as to which, if any, has irrefutable proof of the existence of Bigfoot. The teams are to consist of people from various walks of life including scientists. Casting is supposed to be already under way. Needless to say, there are those among us, and I can't exclude myself, who would say it is a little ironic that the show is classified as falling into the reality genre. The upside is that it might bring some fun into the lives of the viewers but the downside is that it might result in some of them actually believing in Bigfoot and carrying the associated albatross for a long time. Per the article:
An upcoming TV show is offering $10 million for irrefutable proof of Bigfoot and people are lining up for their shot at making television history. According to a story in The Hollywood Reporter, "Spike TV announced Thursday a 10-episode pickup for 10 Million Dollar Big Foot Bounty, a new reality competition that's offering what would be the largest cash prize in TV history. The only catch is that the titular $10 million, backed by insurers of the bizarre at Lloyd's of London, can only be awarded to a contestant that provides irrefutable evidence that that Big Foot exists. Scientists, zoologists, trackers and actual Big Foot hunters are among the competitors the series is lining up, with casting already underway. Teams will present their evidence to Big Foot 'experts' in attempt to win the prize. And the 10 episodes will follow different teams tackling the search with different methods."
Associated article: Oxford University scientists have called for supposed Bigfoot biological material so that they may perform DNA analyses on it.

No one will win this.
But people will watch this stuff though.
You hear of James Randi?
I'm guessing insurance companies were lined up and more than happy to sell a policy to cover any "risk" that a real bigfoot is found.
Heh, I hadn't thought of that angle. Good, free money. Of course the premium has got to be pretty damned low, for this sort of thing. What do you need for this sort of negligible risk, about a $5 premium for 1 year of coverage?
The upside is that it might bring some fun into the lives of the viewers but the downside is that it might result in some of them actually believing in Bigfoot and carrying the associated albatross for a long time.
I dunno, man. I think it might help steer people away from the myth, or at least introduce them to the myth and give them a negative opinion of all of the people who seriously believe the myth.
Obviously, no one is ever going to win, and the repeated failures will keep stacking up. It won't be like a Bigfoot proponent site, in which evidence isn't properly tested, but accepted by the credulous masses who want any kind of ethereal evidence they can find to support their fantasy. With a $10 million prize on the line, they'll be properly testing and shooting down everything.
I have no proof that bigfoot exists, but I did have an experience wherein I thought I saw bigfoot near Riggins, Idaho. Wrote a blog about it. Not worth $10, much less $10,000,000. :)
How stupid. Don't they realize that Bigfoot was a botched alien genetic experiment? All the genetic aberrations were killed before they left so there is no way they will find one.
People will believe anything.
The below video is the very latest (10/30/2012) supposed evidence of bigfoot. Curiously, it surfaced right after the $10,000,000 prized was announced.
I like the post by ATILATHEHUN101 who said "A couple of years ago I thought I saw Bigfoot but I didn't get a good look because a T-Rex was blocking my view."

Why Are Asian Americans Democrats?
In February, during the confirmation hearings for President Barack Obama's nominee for U.S. surgeon general—Vivek Murthy, a British-born Indian American—Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) invited Murthy to his home state.
"I'm going to invite you, because we have a lovely doctor from India," Roberts said good-naturedly. "She's in her mid-30s and she's highly respected by the community. And another doctor from India who did a carpal tunnel when I did a stupid thing. And so, I think you'd be right at home, and we would welcome you."
Story Continued Below
Although Roberts probably did not intend to offend (his remarks were of the "I have plenty of friends who are Indian" variety) media outlets generally mocked the interaction. At the very least, it likely reminded Murthy that he is different than the white ethnic majority—some other kind of American.
However harmless it might seem, this is exactly the sort of exchange that makes Asian Americans—the fastest growing ethnic group in the country—more likely to identify themselves as Democrats than Republicans, and by stunning margins. In the 2012 presidential election, Barack Obama won 73 percent of the Asian American vote, exceeding his support among Hispanics (71 percent) and women (55 percent). This striking statistic has caused a great deal of consternation among Republicans, who seem generally mystified as to what they might be doing wrong.
It's a puzzle with huge electoral ramifications. More than 16 million Asian Americans live in the United States today, making up 5 percent of the population and accounting for nearly 4 percent of all voters. They're a sizeable voting bloc, but one far less understood than other groups, given that their political clout has only begun to emerge.
The GOP's confusion comes not only because, in 1992, Bill Clinton captured just 36 percent of the Asian American vote. It is also because Asian Americans as a group have certain characteristics that would ordinarily predict a Republican political affiliation, most strikingly their level of income, which on average, is higher than any other ethnic group in the United States. (According to the 2009 Current Population Survey, the median Asian household had a higher income, $65,469, than the median white household,$51,863; median black and Hispanic household incomes were $32,584 and $38,039, respectively.) Income, as shown by Andrew Gelman and his co-authors in their book Red State, Blue State, Rich State, Poor State: Why Americans Vote the Way They Do, is one of the most powerful drivers of which political party someone prefers. Generally, the richer people are, the more likely they are to be Republicans.
Other conservatives have pointed to less tangible characteristics of Asian Americans, such as an emphasis on discipline in child rearing and a penchant for entrepreneurship, that ought to make them Republicans. "If you are looking for a natural Republican constituency, Asians should define 'natural'," notes the American Enterprise Institute's Charles Murray. "And yet something has happened to define conservatism in the minds of Asians as deeply unattractive."
The solidification of Asian Americans as a core Democratic constituency is not lost on liberal commentators either. Josh Barro, now a writer at the New York Times, wrote in December, "Asians have higher family incomes and education achievement than whites, and lower rates of out-of-wedlock birth. Republicans' typical explanation of their poor performance with blacks and Hispanics (a policy platform that alienates groups disproportionately likely to depend on government services) cannot explain Republicans' Asian gap."
So what does explain it? Why don't Asian Americans lean right?
Is it just because Asian Americans have more liberal policy positions, as a recent report by Phyllis Schlaffy points out? This answer is unsatisfying because it might get things backwards: Someone's party identification is just as likely to explain their policy views (since people generally take cues from their party) as the other way around.
Our research offers two alternative explanations.
First, there's race. The feeling of social exclusion stemming from their ethnic background might push Asian Americans away from the Republican Party. Many studies, like Henri Tajfel and John Turner's work on the psychology of intergroup relations, have shown that one's identification with a broad category of people—be it on the basis of language, ethnic or racial solidarity or some other trait—is important politically. Republican rhetoric implying that the (non-white) "takers" are plundering the (white) "makers" has cultivated a perception that the Republican Party is less welcoming of minorities. That might help explain why Asian Americans, despite their "maker" status, prefer the Democratic Party—even if the GOP doesn't discriminate against Asians specifically.
And many Asian-Americans do feel like they don't get equal treatment. According to the 2008 National Asian American Survey, nearly 40 percent of Asian Americans suffered one of the following forms of racial discrimination in their lifetime: being unfairly denied a job or fired; unfairly denied a promotion at work; unfairly treated by the police; unfairly prevented from renting or buying a home; treated unfairly at a restaurant or other place of service; or been a victim of a hate crime. We found that self-reported racial discrimination was positively correlated with identification with the Democratic Party over the Republican Party.

The drawing of the motor can be downloaded from this page.
It says "do not scale drawing" but it does provide exact dimensions for the mounting holes and a few other dimensions. Welcome, you'll find a lot of Ninja 250 ideas on this site.
Here goes.
I've never been one to post/write on forums, this will be my first newbie experience. Every thread I have read so far has been filled with great information, people helping people and thoughts and concerns that are well thought out and written. I hope to continue that trend without making a complete @$$ of myself in the process. Thank you for your patience with my lack of know-how, both electric and forum related.
On to the meat.
I bought a 2009 Kawasaki Ninja 250 as the title of this thread hints at
I have completely disassembled the bike of the IC parts and have purchased the below from EVdrives .com
Motenergy ME1003 Motor, 11.5KW continuous, 23KW Peak for 1 minute @ 72Volts
AXE7245 at 450amps - with fuse
SW200 solenoid
3 amp Diode & 470 ohm Pre-charge Resistor
Throttle - Magura Twist Grip
I have yet to purchase batteries, or a charger as I am currently working on a custom motor mount. I have seen many people use 1/4" and 1/2" 6061 aluminum and I plan on doing the same. I am looking for ME1003 blueprints I can print to scale and follow others lead by printing and then milling out the aluminum at a fabrication shop.
I know have a long way to go and I hope to have a complete bike within the year.
Any suggestions or advice on resources to help me decide based on my needs ( 75MPH highway, 50 mile range daily) would be appreciated.
Thanks for reading!IMG_1145.jpgIMG_1146.jpgIMG_1148.jpg

Welcome. Great project you have going. I'm planning to use the exact same motor/controller kit for my bike from evdrives.
What batteries & bms do you plan to use?
That range & speed sounds doable. Probably going to need a 6kwhr pack to achieve it.
That is exactly what I am researching now. I started a new job last month and have been playing catch-up ever since. I did manage to cut out my motor bracket and get it attached to the frame.
I really want to try out CALB 100AH's and I am trying to find out how many I'll need. At 3.2V each I would need 23 to get to 73.6V (to make sure I am getting 72V to the controller and subsequently the motor).
I thought I read about people getting close to 90V to the controller which I think it can handle, but I'm not sure why they would since the controller should only allow 72 to the motor.
Also, BMS is really challenging me. I see people just add in their circuit board and BAM! problem solved. But I'm the type of person who needs to understand it before I buy and attempt it.
Anyone out there have experience with CALB's/BMS or any of these expensive goodies? I want to stay away from AGM's.
I had 25 CALBs with Mini BMS before switching to the LEAF cells. The Mini BMS works great. I did mine in 2008, First was 6 35ah AGMS, then 25 40ah CALBS and now 11 Leaf Modules. Fitting 24 100 AH into a Ninja will be tight but it has been done.

I think I might just go Leaf Modules right away. I found 8 modules on hybrid auto center . com and I'm trying to find out if I can get 3 more modules individually to make my 11 modules and obtain over 72V. Awaiting a response.
Lets talk chargers! DRZ GO!
You have 2 options for chargers:
Meanwell HLG LED Poweder Supplies - make sure you get the model with the adjustable voltage and current output (has 2 rubber caps to cover trim pots, the model number will end with an A). You can get 2 of these in 320W or 600W at 48V and wire them in series to get your final pack voltage. Easy to work with and adjustable.
The other option would be a Delta-Q Quiq charger, but you'll have to get somebody to program it for you. I think Travis (frodus) sells them and programs them. They also have a built in DC/DC converter and have a switched and unswitched output (meaning you can have certain things always powered and certain things powered only when a switch is used)
I'm using the BMSBattery 600 watt alloy charger. Cost about $75.00 Very easy to adjust output V or I with internal pots. Since I don't use a BMS I slightly undercharge to 90 volts (11 modules) @6 amps. The charger has worked flawlessly for 5 years. I think they have a 900 watt version now as well. The Guys over at endlessphere have fully documented these chargers to component level.

No BMS? This is the first I've read about being okay without them. Meanwell has an awesome reputation and that was my first thought. Jonny Panic, I'll look at the Delta-Q Quiq charger, if it's the yellow one I'm thinking of, it was crazy expensive, like $500. A little out of budget for something that still requires overnight to fully charge.
Thanks for all the help everyone. I think will be buying my Leaf Modules from Hybrid Auto Center. 1,419 including rods and end brackets. Before I pull the trigger, is that an okay price? (Best I've found so far)

The season has already begun (more or less) with the Corporate Trophy. What was once touted as a fresh new thing in the BCCI calendar is now merely an also-ran, with teams pulling out, star players opting out and even telecast rights not given to anyone- last season, Neo Sports and Neo Cricket showed the event, while this time, followers are dependent on scorecards on Cricinfo. Several current and reserve Indian players, including Yuvraj Singh, RP Singh, Amit Mishra and Badrinath are listed, and among notable exclusions are the Pathan brothers.
In other news, Mumbai have picked their provisional squad with Jaffer as captain, as well as all internationals in the list. Long-serving wicketkeeper Vinayak Samant has quit the team and is elsewhere. Mumbai is, as the piece says, yet to lose under Jaffer, and already have two straight titles in the shelf. Tamil Nadu have appointed three specialist coaches for batting, bowling and fielding, after their previous head coach, former international opener WV Raman, shifted to Bengal. Elsewhere, Sreesanth had initially stated that he'd shift to an Elite league team, but stayed in Kerala. The people running that association, having already demoted him from captaincy, don't seem too patient with him, especially when he plays so few games for that team.

Can RIM Come Back with BlackBerry 10?
(NEW YORK) -- Is a comeback possible for Research in Motion (RIM) and its iconic BlackBerry?
The early buzz among investors is positive. RIM's share price has nearly tripled since hitting a low point in September.
The Canadian-based company will show off its new BlackBerry 10 Wednesday in New York. An expensive marketing campaign will follow.
Once the dominant smartphone, BlackBerry sales collapsed as consumers opted for Android and iPhones. According to the research firm Strategy Analytics, Android and iPhone devices now account for 92 percent of all global smartphone shipments.
The corporate market for BlackBerry devices has collapsed.
"RIM used to depend on lucrative deals with corporations and government agencies for the bulk of its business," says the Wall Street Journal.
But that percentage has shrunk to as low as 20 percent.

My wife, Anne, comes from a literate family. True to her lineage, Anne is a good writer, but she doesn't write. Believe me, she's a lot better at it than I am. That's why I often use her as my editor before I submit a book manuscript to the publisher.
Having been earning my keep through words, it escapes me how someone can disregard his or her writing talent and so one day I confronted my wife.
"With your talent and skill," I asked in an all-important tone, "why have you never tried for a writing career?"
"Because," she replied lightly, "I don't feel that I have anything to say."
As astonishing as her answer seemed at the time, it was also illuminating.
Why do bloggers blog? Why does anyone write anything?
We write and blog because we believe we have something to say. Plain and simple, writing is mainly an ego trip. Don't get me wrong: I view having a healthy ego as an important ingredient for survival.
Now, there's ego and there's EGO; the out-sized latter all too often illustrates that the writer believes to a fault not only that he or she has something to say, but that we should believe it at face value.
Take for example something that took place online recently—a post by someone who said he smelled paint in a wine and wanted to know what that flaw is. A few quickly and emphatically responded that the smell indicated the wine suffered from a case of volatile acidity (VA).
Without getting too technical, VA is essentially high concentrations of naturally occurring acetic acid in wine. One way to wind up with a wine that suffers from VA is for excessive oxygen to meet up with a population of the acetobacteria that is in wine and then causing spoilage through build up of acetic acid.
Acetic acid concentrations in wine greater than 1.3 grams per liter can be unpleasant. Federal regulations allow for a maximum 1.4 grams per liter for red wine and 1.2 grams per liter for white wine (in France the maximum is lower and in Germany it's higher than in the U.S.).
Most people with experience would say that VA smells like vinegar and they'd be correct: acetic acid is the definition of vinegar. Does vinegar smell like paint?
High concentrations of ethyl acetate in wine smells not so much like paint but like varnish. If we assume that when the poster smelled the wine, paint or paint thinner came to mind, it's reasonable to assume that what he smelled was ethyl acetate.
Ethyl acetate is formed as an ester when ethanol (wine alcohol) reacts with acetic acid. It usually takes high levels of acetic acid for e. acetate to be noticeable in the wine's aroma, but that does not necessarily mean that the wine had reached the point of excessive volatile acidity, just high enough for the alcohol and acid to react.
When a home winemaker tried to point out the technical issues regarding ethyl acetate and VA he was rewarded with this post from a wine geek: "…technical correctness matters little (perhaps not at all) in winespeak. If it's bad it's VA. If it's good then it's aromatic complexity."
Seems to me that the geek who posted the above is stating that it doesn't matter what's really wrong with the wine, all that matters is that someone thinks it's bad and so that someone can proclaim why it's bad without really knowing the reason.
Now, there's ego and there's EGO.
In my view, those who proclaim erroneously to an unknowing audience can do damage, especially if they manage to sound commanding or if they hold a position of seeming authority. Whenever he was confronted with egotistical verbal gymnastics from people like that, my drill sergeant uncle used to say, "If you can't back it up, shut up."
And to think that I thought that my uncle was being unkind when he was only being perspicacious.

Blue Stream Labs website
"Our clients rely on us to characterize by MS complex glycoproteins, antibodies, and biosimilars, and our advanced, in-house methods are consistently able to address their biggest challenges," said Dr. Stephens. "For site-specific characterizations of N- and O-linked glycans on glycoproteins, we routinely use glycopeptide enrichment and exhaustive protease digestion platforms. A number of client programs have required detailed characterization of PEGylated proteins. We have devised methods that facilitate the identification of PEGylated sites in these challenging bioconjugates, making us experts in this space."
Dr. Stephens brings more than 15 years of experience as Head of Mass Spectrometry. She has in-depth expertise in protein characterization using mass spectrometry, with extensive knowledge in glycoprotein structure elucidation. Before joining Blue Stream, Dr. Stephens spent many years as Head of Mass Spectrometry at two world-class research laboratories in the UK, the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology and the Chemistry Department at Cambridge University. She has authored and co-authored over 40 peer-reviewed publications.
Jing Li, Ph.D., recently joined Blue Stream as a scientist for mass spectrometry characterization. Dr. Li gained extensive experience in mass spectrometry and glycomics at MIT, where she helped to develop glycan-based vaccines and therapeutics. She received a Ph.D. in Chemistry from the University of Chicago.
Along with new personnel and enhanced methods, the Mass Spectrometry Facility recently added two new mass spectrometer systems. The Agilent 6538 QTOF system significantly improves the laboratory's data quality and sample throughput while complementing the laboratory's existing MS instruments. The Thermo TSQ Vantage Triple Stage Quadrupole system provides capabilities for quantitative analysis of biosimilars, peptides, and other biologics.
In making the announcement, Michael Kouchakdjian, Ph.D., President of Blue Stream Laboratories, said, "Our clients tell us that they come to Blue Stream for our unmatched expertise and speed in characterizing their complex biologics. Our methods and personnel allow us to provide high quality data coupled with in-depth interpretation, enabling clients to make better-informed decisions more quickly and with greater confidence as they advance their development programs."

The ISC-PDL1-W18 Professional Series TriTech Detectors are exceptionally suited for commercial indoor applications. Sensor data fusion technology ensures that the detectors send alarm conditions based on precise information. Tri-focus optics eliminate coverage gaps and respond efficiently to intruders. The powerful combination of unique features in the Professional Series delivers superior catch performance and virtually eliminates false alarms.
The self-locking two-piece enclosure, built-in bubble level, flexible mounting height, and three optional mounting brackets simplify installation and reduce service time.
Bosch PIR Motion Detector Features
- 18-m x 25-m (60-ft x 80-ft) coverage, field selectable to 8-m x 10-m (25-ft x 33-ft)
- EN50131-2-4 Grade 2 compliant
- Sensor data fusion technology
- Tri-focus optics technology
- Range adaptive radar
Bosch PIR Motion Detector Functions
Sensor Data Fusion Technology
Sensor data fusion technology is a unique feature that uses a sophisticated software algorithm to gather signals from five sensors: two pyroelectric sensors, range adaptive radar, a room temperature sensor, and a white light level sensor. The microcontroller analyzes and compares the sensor data to make the most intelligent alarm decisions in the security industry.
Tri-focus Optics Technology
Tri-focus optics technology uses optics with three specific focal lengths: long-range coverage, middle-range coverage, and short-range coverage. The detector applies the three focal lengths to 86 detection zones, which combine to make 11 solid curtains of detection. Tri-focus optics technology also includes two pyroelectric sensors, which deliver twice the standard optical gain. The sensors process multiple signals to deliver precise performance virtually free of false alarms.
Range Adaptive Radar
The microwave transceiver automatically adjusts its detection thresholds based on input from the PIR sensors. Integrating the target audience distance information from the PIR significantly reduces false alarms from the microwave Doppler radar
Microwave Anti-mask
The detector sends a supervision-trouble signal if microwave reflective material is placed within 30.5 cm (1 ft) of the detector.
Supervised Microwave and PIR
The detector provides single technology coverage if the microwave subsystem fails.
Active White Light Suppression
An internal light sensor measures the level of light intensity directed at the face of the detector. Sensor data fusion technology uses this information to eliminate false alarms from bright light sources.
Field Selectable Coverage (18 m x 25 m or 8 m x 10 m)
Installers can use a DIP switch to select 18 m x 25 m or 8 m x 10 m (60 ft x 80 ft or 25 ft x 33 ft) coverage.
Dynamic Temperature Compensation
The detector automatically adjusts PIR sensitivity to identify human intruders at critical temperatures. Dynamic temperature compensation detects human body heat accurately, avoids false alarms, and delivers consistent catch performance at all operating temperatures.
Cover and Wall Tamper Switch
When an intruder removes the cover or attempts to separate the detector from the wall, a normally-closed contact opens to alert the control panel.
Self-adjusting LED
The LED brightness adjusts automatically to the surrounding light level. A blue light-emitting diode (LED) indicates dual alarms and activates during a walk test. A yellow LED indicates microwave alarms, and a red LED indicates PIR alarms.
Remote Walk Test LED
Users can type a command through a keypad, a control center, or programming software to remotely enable or disable the walk test LED. Users can locally enable or disable the walk test LED through the DIP switch.
Alarm Memory
Alarm memory flashes the alarm LED to indicate stored alarms for use in multiple unit applications. A switched voltage from the control panel controls the alarm memory.
Solid State Relays
Solid state relays send silent alarm output signals to provide a higher level of security and reliability. An external magnet does not activate the relay. The solid state relay uses less current than a mechanical relay, providing longer standby capacity during a power loss.
Draft, Insect, and Small Animal Immunity
The sealed optic chamber provides immunity to drafts and insects, reducing false alarms. Small animal immunity reduces false alarms caused by animals less than 4.5 kg (10 lb), such as rodents.
Remote Self Test
A remote self test initiates when the walk test input switches to its true state. The alarm relay and alarm LED activate for four seconds following a successful test. The trouble relay activates, and the alarm LED flashes following a failed test.
Input Power Supervision
When the power is lower than 8 V, a low input power trouble condition activates the trouble relay and causes the LED to flash. The trouble condition clears automatically when power reaches or exceeds 8 V.
Trouble Memory
When the walk test input switches to its true state for less than two seconds, LED flashes to indicate the most recent trouble condition. If there is no trouble in memory, the LED does not flash. After twelve hours, or after the detector receives a second walk test pulse for two seconds or less, the LED stops flashing and the trouble memory clears.

It's always at the top of the New Year's resolutions list: saving money! And as we approach the end of January, it's time to reinforce the steps we are taking to reach our goals. Here are 10 easy ways to cut costs and save a little extra in 2014. Remember, saving a lot of pennies adds up to a lot of dollars!
DIY energy audit.
The Environmental Protection Agency has a Home Energy Yardstick, which compares your home's energy usage with similar homes. Enter your zip code, square footage, number of occupants, fuel used, and your last 12 months of utility bills. You'll get a score from 1 to 10 and tips for lowering utility bills. If you're paying a lot more than your neighbors, chances are there's plenty of places you can cut costs.
Go paperless.
Paperless billing not only saves trees, it save money. Postage stamps aren't typically something we factor into the household budget, but it adds up. At the end of this month, stamps increase to 49¢. That means if you pay 10 bills a month, you are spending $58.80 a year on postage. Some mailing is unavoidable, so now's a good time to stock up on Forever stamps at the 46¢ rate before they increase on January 26.
Use restaurant deals.
Yes, meal planning and eating at home will save money, but everyone deserves a night out on the town once in awhile. With a little research, you can always find a restaurant offering a promotion. Look for discount gift cards from sites like restaurant.com, eat on Tuesdays, a popular night for kids eats free promotions, or sign up for email lists to score freebies like a free mini pizookie from BJ's.
Use (at least) three coupons a week.
Incorporating coupons into your grocery shopping is one of the easiest ways to start saving a little cash. Think about it, if you use just three $1-off coupons a week, that's an extra $156 at the end of the year. You can also clip some coupons like lunchmeat, pasta, and cereal straight to your store loyalty card. Now you don't have to worry about forgetting your coupons at home.
Price compare gas and use cash.
A gas price comparison app is one of the handiest apps to have on your phone. When I used it recently rather than going automatic pilot to my regular station, I was able to save 32¢ a gallon and it was only 0.2 miles further away. If you fill up a 16 gallon tank once a week, that's an annual savings of $266.24! Also, many stations will give you a discount (often 5¢ per gallon) when you pay with cash. Which calculates to an additional savings of $41.60 a year for that 16-gallon tank.
Brown bag it.
How much is that deli sandwich really costing you? We did a brown bagging experiment and found that we could pack a lunch consisting of a turkey sandwich with cheese, cookies, chips and iced tea for $2.53. That same lunch cost around $11.50 at nearby delis. That's a $9 savings! Even if you just give up take-out two times a week, that's $936 a year.
Cancel subscriptions you don't use.
Are you a victim of automatic renewal? Many of us have a stack of unread magazines that just keep coming but the thing is, you don't have to wait to cancel. Most subscriptions refund your remaining balance when you cancel. So not only are you no longer paying that $16.99 a year, but if you had 6 months left on your current subscription, then they'll mail you a check for $8.50.
Sign up for focus groups.
Another way to save more is to make more. Focus groups and taste tests are a fun way to do just that. Sign up for market research databases and they will match you to studies. It's not steady money, but you could make anywhere from $30 for 15 minutes to a couple hundred dollars for longer studies. So even if you only do one or two a year, that's a good chunk of change you wouldn't have otherwise. Plus, it's fun! I've taste tested ice cream, protein smoothies, coffee, and soda.
Stash your spare change.
This year don't spend change. Empty your pockets at the end of the day, stash it in a jar, and by the end of the year, you'll accumulate quite the savings. Coin counting machines like Coinstar typically charge a fee around 10% for cash. Instead, avoid the fee and exchange it for a gift certificate. Choose a retailer that you would need to shop at anyways like Home Depot to tackle a home improvement project or Staples for school supplies to make it a true savings.
Increase direct deposit to your savings.
If you have a portion of each paycheck deposited directly into your savings, fantastic. That's a great habit to have. This year, up the amount by 1%. It's little enough that you probably won't notice it, but big enough to make a real difference. If you make $50,000 a year, that's an extra $500!

Some frankly silly thoughts and ideas have been punctured in the past few days about France's invasion of Mali. Most importantly, that the French military effort to roll back the advance of salafy jihadis who had captured much of the north of the country, bringing a reign of amputations and torture to locals for what they deemed violations of Islamic law, would turn into a repeat of Dien Bien Phu, where French forces were defeated by a 45,000 man Viet Minh army backed by both China and the Soviet Union.
Or that it could come to resemble the American experience in the Vietnam War after the US had taken the lead from the French. Or, mon dieu! -- it was going to be just like Afghanistan.
No, it was never going to be like any of these places and historical contingencies. The simple fact that the United States' recent experience of war is of the long, grinding, expensive and inconclusive messes of Iraq and Afghanistan doesn't mean that other nations won't step more nimbly and carefully in their own wars. And while I don't know terribly much about Mali, I do know that the jihadis had nothing anywhere near either the number of fighters nor the powerful outside backers that the Viet Minh had at Dien Bien Phu and the Taliban, thanks to Pakistan's assistance, have today.
So here's one lesson we've learned so far: When the conditions are right, it's easier for professional, well-armed soldiers to defeat jihadi insurgents. France's war in Mali began on Jan. 11 and by Jan. 26 it was all but wrapped up.
Of course, a lot of the jihadis simply cut and ran, giving up the towns they'd held for months and in which, as they commonly do wherever they take control of the world, they'd alienated and antagonized the residents.
Could they come back? Sure. Mali's Tuareg's have had a bad relationship with the central government since the state was founded and while both the central government's troops and the National Movement for the Liberation of Azawad (MNLA) are now eager to see the back of Al Qaeda-inspired groups like Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM) and Ansar al-Dine, they may find it hard to get along with each other for long.
Laura Seay, a political scientist who focuses on central Africa at Morehouse College, explained in Foreign Policy yesterday some of the specifics of Mali and why France has done relatively well so far.
How is Mali different from Afghanistan? First, Mali is not where empires go to die. Afghanistan is well-known as a place that has always been difficult for any outsiders to invade and sustain military engagement, much less establish governing institutions. What governing institutions are established have long been weak and largely decentralized structures that allow local and tribal leaders maximum autonomy. Mali, by contrast, has a longer history of at least some centralized rule. The Mali Empire, which governed a huge swath of West Africa from the thirteenth to sixteenth centuries, included the renowned city of scholarship in Timbuktu. Mali's colonization by France in 1892 was largely peaceful, and the country has never engaged in a serious war until now, with the exception of a brief and violent border dispute with Burkina Faso in the mid-1980s. France's exit from Mali at the end of colonization was accomplished peacefully as well.
France's engagement in Mali is also unlike U.S. engagement in Afghanistan in that, because of their colonial history, the French know what they are getting into. There are decades of outstanding French scholarship on Mali; France is practically drowning in Mali experts in government, academia, and the private sector. This is more important than many realize; having deep cultural and historical knowledge and a shared language (most educated Malians still speak French) makes it much easier for French forces to relate to average Malians and build friendships with key local leaders whose support will be necessary for long-term success.
As long as we're learning about history, it's also time to put to rest the foolish trope so popular in some American circles that France is a wimpy has-been power that doesn't dare get its feet wet, even in good causes. This month, they've beat back jihadis in Mali, at least giving the country a chance to work out its own internal problems (which of course, it may well fumble again.)

On the Olympics & Being Indigenous
I'm not going to lie. I'm not a big fan of the Olympics and in fact every four years I think I hate them more, for all of the obvious reasons. Vancouver 2012 I disliked the most because when watching the opening ceremonies with my then eight year old insomniac, in what must have been the middle of the night, he looked at me and said "When is Team Anishinaabeg going to be entering the stadium? Probably before Team Haudenosaunee, right, because Anishinaabeg begins with A?" As all Native parents know, the colonialism talk makes the sex talk look a lot like a platter of cupcakes with a chaser of ice cream cones.
This year, I've been lucky and I've mostly been able to ignore the whole conspicuous spectacle, except that during the opening ceremonies I had to unfollow Billy Bragg on Twitter because he was so enamored with Danny Boyle's lefty take on the ceremony, that he failed to notice Boyle skipping over the four hundred years of colonialism, genocide and occupation England's heaped on Indigenous nations globally. And yes, this year my entire Olympic experience is mitigated through my Twitter feed which is made up almost exclusively of Indigenous artists, academics and writers. Which means in addition to the Billy Bragg incident, the only Olympic related news I've heard is confined to the two racist athletes expelled from the games, the four Indigenous athletes from North America including Anishinaabekwe Mary Spence and today, Damien Hooper.
Damien Hooper was colonized by jolly old England via Australia, so he is at the Olympics representing Australia, and in his words "I am not just representing my country but my people as well". His crime? He wore a shirt with an "Aboriginal flag" on it after his boxing match today.
The flag in question was designed by artist Harold Thomson and it was originally a symbol of the Indigenous land rights movement in Australia. In 1995, the Australian government made it legally and politically one of the "Flags of Australia".
Rule 50 of the Olympic Charter states: "no kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in the Olympic areas", meaning Hooper has been told he cannot wear his shirt again and he must apology to Chef de Mission for the Australian team.
Here is the part that I need to say out loud even though it's neither new or profound: every aspect of the Olympics is political – who is there, who is not there, where they are held, where they are not held, the sports that are involved, the sports that are not involved, the sports women are allowed to compete in and those we are not, the basic human rights of transgender athletes, whose history is told and celebrated and whose is silenced, the privileging of the competition of able bodied athletes and the fact that the social costs of the games fall squarely on the backs of the economically poor.
The Olympics are political and they reflect the politics of the both the ruling nation-states of the world and corporations. You can wear a shirt with Canada on it. You can wear shoes with Adidas on them. That's fine, because it's "not political". Unless of course you're Indigenous and these corporations and nation states are causing never-ending harm, destruction and trauma to your land and your people.
The idea that there is no place for political protest at the Olympics is also a wild sanitization of the games given that there has been dissent and protest at the games as long as the modern games have been held. Remember in 2000 when Cathy Freeman, who is also Indigenous and from the Australian team, carried the same "Aboriginal flag" around the track in her victory lap?
Hooper says he is very proud of what he did, and he should be proud. He showed Indigenous Peoples all over the world that he gets it - that settler states occupy our lands, they ignore our traditional governments, they try and beat us down, but they cannot take away our pride in being Indigenous. He showed us he remembered his family, his community, and his nation, above all else. He took a risk in the biggest sporting event of his life to tell those Old Ones that he remembered. To tell me, he remembered.
The only person in this non-fiasco fiasco that is owed an apology is Damien Hooper. To compete in the Olympics you shouldn't have to deny your nationality, you shouldn't have to erase your Indigeneity, and you should never be threatened or made to apologize for being who you are.
I think the Olympics and I are probably done for 2012 but I'll tell you that I am looking very forward to the day the Iroquois Nationals use their passports to travel to the Olympics to kick everyone's lacrosse ass, and I mean both the men's team and the women's team. And I'm also looking very forward to the day when Team Anishinaabeg enters the stadium at the Opening Ceremonies.

Attorneys for a condemned killer facing execution this week in Texas are insisting his punishment should be stopped because he risks the same ordeal experienced recently by an Oklahoma inmate whose lethal injection was disrupted.
Robert Campbell's scheduled Tuesday evening execution in Huntsville would be the first nationally since Clayton Lockett's bungled punishment April 29. Lockett died of an apparent heart attack after Oklahoma prison officials aborted his execution following the failure of an intravenous line carrying the deadly drugs.
Lawyers for Campbell say they must know the source of the drug used in Texas. Prison officials have refused.
Attorneys also are arguing in appeals that Campbell's mentally impaired and ineligible for execution.
Campbell was convicted of the 1991 abduction and fatal shooting of a 20-year-old Houston woman, Alexandra Rendon.

In addition to serving as a source for hundreds of articles, Harold Evensky has written many articles on topics like the changing equity risk premium and the bucket approach to retirement income planning. He wrote "Planning for Long-Term Health Care (Real Life, Real Answers)" in 1990, "Wealth Management: The Financial Advisors Guide to Managing and Investing Client Assets" in 1997 (which was updated and reissued in 2011), and with his partner, Deena Katz, wrote "The Investment Think Tank: Theory, Strategy, and Practice For Advisers and Retirement Income Redesigned."
Evensky's client newsletters are probably the most widely read newsletters among journalists. They're not written for journalists, mind you, but for Evensky & Katz Wealth Management's clients, but their friendly, folksy manner also includes plenty of tough love for clients. Example, from the September 2013 newsletter:
On occasion I've had a client respond to my belief that investment returns will be relatively modest with, "But I need X%!" As tactfully as I can, I respond, "The markets don't give a damn." Tough medicine, but planning on reality is likely to be a lot safer than planning on the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
In a December interview, Evensky disclosed that he's been working on a new book "for the public," though he's quick to say that "'working' is an exaggeration." The format of the book, which he hopes to finish this year, will be "fairly simple, with decent stories" following the One-Minute Manager's approach to delivering pithy, helpful advice. "This isn't Suze Orman," he pointedly said. His motivation? "We're living in a long-term, low-return environment," so for consumers, "a little bit of attention to your money can have such a big effect on the quality of your life."

The Hizbollah movement said Sunday it had attacked positions held by the Israeli army and its proxy South Lebanon Army (SLA) in the Israeli-occupied zone of southern Lebanon, which Israel said the same day it won't disarm until safety is guaranteed for its members.
The group said in a statement seen by AFP that it had "targeted and hit" the Israeli position at Zaaleh and other SLA positions in the eastern part of the zone.
The operations were carried out at 6 a.m. (0300 GMT).
An SLA spokesman said there had been no casualties.
Israel responded to the attacks with shelling and air raids, the Lebanese police said.
An Israeli army spokesman in Jerusalem confirmed the raids, and said all its planes had returned safely to base.
In occupied Jerusalem earlier Sunday, Israel said it refuses to disarm its allied militia without first obtaining guarantees for the security of its members.
"SLA members will keep the means to defend themselves while there is no amnesty from the Lebanese government and while they have to live in close proximity to the Hizbollah," Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh said on army radio.
He conceded that the SLA was going through a difficult period "because no-one knows 100 percent what will happen after July," the target date for an Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon after 22 years of occupation.
The SLA and Israeli troops jointly patrol a self-declared "security zone" with the aim of protecting Israel's northern border from attack by Lebanese Shiite guerrillas, mainly the Syrian- and Iranian-backed Hizbollah – (AFP)

FLASHBACK - 20% of Obamacare waivers are gourmet restaurants, nightclubs, hotels in Nancy Pelosi's district
Of the 204 new Obamacare waivers President Barack Obama's administration approved in April, 38 are for fancy eateries, hip nightclubs and decadent hotels in House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi's Northern California district.
That's in addition to the 27 new waivers for health care or drug companies and the 31 new union waivers Obama's Department of Health and Human Services approved.
Pelosi's district secured almost 20 percent of the latest issuance of waivers nationwide, and the companies that won them didn't have much in common with companies throughout the rest of the country that have received Obamacare waivers.
Other common waiver recipients were labor union chapters, large corporations, financial firms and local governments. But Pelosi's district's waivers are the first major examples of luxurious, gourmet restaurants and hotels getting a year-long pass from Obamacare.
For instance, Boboquivari's restaurant in Pelosi's district in San Francisco got a waiver from Obamacare. Boboquivari's advertises $59 porterhouse steaks, $39 filet mignons and $35 crab dinners.

NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. today announced that two studies featuring SL-401 updated clinical trial results in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other hematologic malignancies, including blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), and SL-101 preclinical activity against Hodgkin's lymphoma have been selected for presentation at the upcoming 54th Annual Meeting of the American Society of Hematology (ASH) to be held in Atlanta, GA from December 8-11, 2012. Stemline and its collaborators from MD Anderson Cancer Center and Scott and White Memorial Hospital will present the posters.
The updated clinical trial results for SL-401, a novel biologic targeted therapy directed to the interleukin-3 receptor (IL-3R), demonstrated that the drug was well-tolerated at clinically active doses and showed single agent anti-tumor activity in heavily pretreated patients with AML, as well as in patients with high risk myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and relapsed/refractory blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN). In particular, a single cycle of SL-401 demonstrated single agent activity in patients with relapsed or refractory AML, including two durable complete responses (CRs) of eight and >25 months duration, respectively, and multiple additional cases of leukemia blast reductions. An overall survival (OS) benefit was also notable among patients treated with only one cycle of SL-401 who were >/-3rd-line therapy for AML (n=35); the median OS was 3.6 months (95% CI: 2.3, 6.1 months), which is more than double the historical median OS results of 1.5 months for third-line AML patients treated with standard of care. Moreover, at therapeutically relevant doses defined as the MTD (16.6 µg/kg/day) or one or two dose levels below the MTD (9.4 or 12.5 µg/kg/day), the median OS among patients treated with only one cycle of SL-401 who were >/-3rd-line for AML (n = 16) was 5.6 months (95% CI: 2.5, 10.8 months), which is more than triple the historical median OS results of 1.5 months for third-line AML patients treated with standard of care.
In addition, two of three patients with relapsed/refractory BPDCN sustained two additional durable CRs following a single cycle of SL-401. With these CRs, malignant blasts were no longer detectable in the bone marrow and blood. In addition, in one CR, there was also normalization of hepatic and splenic enlargement, and in the other CR there was resolution of associated malignant skin lesions. SL-401 was well-tolerated at clinically active doses, and had no evidence of treatment-related bone marrow suppression.
In a second study, another agent being developed by Stemline, SL-101, demonstrated preclinical efficacy against lymphoid cancers including Hodgkin's lymphoma. SL-101 is a novel monoclonal antibody-conjugate that targets CD123 with high affinity. SL-101 demonstrated preclinical anti-cancer activity against several Hodgkin's lymphoma cell lines, as well as anti-cancer activity against mantle cell lymphoma and T-cell acute lymphoid leukemia. The results of this study warrant further evaluation of SL-101 in lymphoid cancers including Hodgkin's lymphoma.
Details on the abstracts selected for presentation are as follows:
SL-401, A Targeted Therapy Directed to the Interleukin-3 Receptor Present On Leukemia Blasts and Cancer Stem Cells, Is Active As a Single Agent in Patients with Advanced AML
Abstract #: 3625
Lead Author: Marina Konopleva, MD, PhD, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center
Session: 615. Acute Myeloid Leukemia - Therapy, excluding Transplantation: Poster III
Date/Time: Monday, December 10, 2012; 6:00 – 8:00pm ET

SL-101, a Novel Monoclonal Antibody-Conjugate That Targets Interleukin-3 Receptor Alpha (CD123), Possesses Preclinical Anti-Tumor Activity Against Hodgkin's Lymphoma
Abstract #: 2768
Lead Author: Christopher Brooks, Ph.D., Stemline Therapeutics, Inc.
Session: 625. Lymphoma - Pre-Clinical - Chemotherapy and Biologic Agents: Poster II

About Stemline Therapeutics, Inc.
Stemline Therapeutics, Inc. is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company developing novel oncology therapeutics that target both cancer stem cells (CSCs) as well as the tumor bulk. Among Stemline's drug candidates are SL-401 and SL-701, both of which have demonstrated single agent clinical activity in Phase 1/2 studies of advanced cancer patients. In a multicenter Phase 1/2 trial in patients with advanced acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and other hematologic malignancies including blastic plasmacytoid dendritic cell neoplasm (BPDCN), SL-401 demonstrated single agent activity, including durable complete responses (CRs), and an overall survival (OS) improvement relative to historical data in the most heavily pretreated AML patients. SL-401 also induced two additional CRs in patients with relapsed/refractory BPDCN, a rare lymphoma. In addition, SL-401 was well-tolerated and was not toxic to the bone marrow. SL-401 is being advanced into later stage trials in advanced BPDCN and AML. In Phase 1/2 trials, Stemline's second clinical stage therapeutic, SL-701, has demonstrated single agent activity including durable CRs and partial responses (PRs) in adult patients with refractory or recurrent glioblastoma and pediatric patients with malignant glioma, as well as an OS benefit in adult patients with refractory or recurrent glioblastoma compared with historical data. SL-701 is now poised for later stage trials in pediatric and adult patients with advanced brain cancer. Stemline is also developing a broad portfolio of preclinical small molecules and antibodies for a variety of solid and hematological cancer types. Many of these compounds have derived from the Company's proprietary discovery platform, StemScreen®. For more information, please visit the Company's website at www.stemline.com.

Sick leave is essential
Use a tissue when you sneeze. Cover your mouth when you cough. Wash your hands often when you are sick. As children, we are taught a set of basic common courtesies to prevent the spread of disease — and as the national flu epidemic worsens, health experts and elected officials alike are now urging adults to do the same, advising people to stay home from work if they are ill.
But the reality is that staying home from work for several days to recuperate and recover from the flu — or something worse — is challenging or impossible for tens of millions of Americans. Forty percent of private-sector workers have no access to paid sick days, meaning that they cannot miss a day of work without risking a day's pay or even risking their job. So these hardworking people must make an impossible choice between the job they need and their health and well-being.
Story Continued Below
It's a choice that no American should have to make — which is why, this year, I plan to reintroduce the Healthy Families Act, a bill that would allow workers to earn paid sick days that can be used to recover from a short-term illness, care for a sick family member, obtain preventive or diagnostic treatment or seek help if they have been victims of domestic violence.
Twenty years ago on Feb. 5, 1993, President Bill Clinton signed into law the Family and Medical Leave Act, the culmination of years of efforts from a bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Sen. Chris Dodd (D-Conn.), Sen. Kit Bond (R-Mo.), Rep. Patricia Schroeder (D-Colo.) and Rep. Marge Roukema (R-N.J.). This critical law represented a major step forward for working families by ensuring that employees would be entitled to up to 12 weeks of protected — albeit unpaid — leave to recover from a serious illness or care for a new child or seriously ill family member. A recent update provides 26 weeks of family leave to families of injured service members and recent veterans.

bigo necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 28 diseños de 11 diseñadores freelance.
Great American Beer Factory
Tag Line "Inspired, Craft Brewed Elixirs"
GABF creates beer that is inspired by America.
For example our Icon Ale is brewed using the only techniques unique to America and features Uncle Sam on the label.
Our Southern Belle is a Belgian Wit beer inspired by Southern tea punch.
Our Apple Pie is an American ale that uses toasted oats and is fermented with apples.
Young hip beer drinkers.
In my mind's eye I see the logo as an "official seal" or stamp - shipping not postage - with "Beer Factory" in the center and "Great American" curving above and the tagline scrolled below.
Highland Brewery at http://www.highlandbrewing.com/ is a good example of what I am thinking.
All of that being said, please feel free to let your freak flag fly and get as creative as you would like!
In prior contests I have been wrong about what I thought I wanted versus the logo that we eventually chose...
And just like all of my past contests, I plan to give feedback on every single entry.
This is a very cool project and an opportunity to see your design work displayed on a national level.
This is a very cool project!
Thank you,
