Adobe Experience Manager Desktop App lets you map the AEM Assets repository to a network directory so assets within AEM are available at your local system.
Depending upon the operating system, you can view and browse assets in AEM from Mac OS X Finder/Windows Explorer. In addition, you can quickly switch between Finder/Explorer and AEM Assets using convenient links.
You can create, edit, or delete files from Finder/Explorer. The changes are automatically synchronized with AEM Assets and vice-versa. In other words, any changes that you make to the assets from Finder/Explorer are reflected in AEM Assets. Similarly, any changes you make within AEM Assets are visible from Finder/Explorer.
You can download AEM Desktop App from the AEM Desktop App download page. Ensure your AEM server has all the required packages installed before using the application.
Adobe Experience Manager Desktop App is a new name for AEM Assets Companion App, introduced in AEM 6.1 release.
To use AEM Desktop App, ensure that your AEM server version is supported by AEM Desktop App, download the appropriate installation file (binary) for your operating system (Mac or Windows) from AEM Assets and install the app.
On Windows, the default Windows 7 setting prevents AEM Desktop App from handling assets that are larger than 50MB.
Adobe recommends that you use an HTTPS connection to connect to the author node to ensure that you securely transfer assets to/from AEM. Moreover, intermediate firewalls, proxies, and load balancers don't support WebDAV well and interfere with the AEM Desktop App. Using SSL ensures that the traffic reaches the AEM author unmodified.
The version of AEM Destkop App you are planning to install on your local machine might require a specific AEM server version/additional server-side components (service packs, hot fixes or feature packs). Ensure that the AEM server is properly configured before you connect to it for the first time. If you require help, contact your AEM administrator.
As of now, AEM Desktop App is tested to be compatible with Mac OS X 10.10 or later, with latest bug fixes.
Go to the AEM Desktop App download page, and click the appropriate link to download the AEM Desktop App binary for your Mac OS X.
If you configure proxy server settings for MAC OS (System Preferences > Network), AEM Desktop App will go through the preconfigured proxy server when attempting to connect to your AEM instance. If you modify proxy settings, restart AEM Desktop App for the changes to take effect.
AEM Desktop App lets you check out files to prevent other users from modifying files you're working on.
The local path to the assets mounted with Desktop App 1.3 is different than the local path mounted with Desktop App 1.2. For example, when you open the More File Info dialog on the same AEM asset, the following server locations are displayed:
- Desktop App 1.3: smb://localhost/DAM/geometrixx-outdoors/logo.png
- Desktop App 1.2: http://localhost/content/dam//geometrixx-outdoors/logo.png
This change may impact assets that have other assets placed through the Place Link command (in Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign). You may have to relink assets in the Adobe Creative Cloud applications. Alternatively, mount AEM as a WebDAV drive (works even without the Destkop App), and use it along the new Desktop App mounting point before all assets are relinked.
If you use AEM Desktop App 1.3 on Mac OS, files are saved to a network drive location mounted via Desktop App in two phases. In the first phase, a file is saved locally. This way, a user need not wait for the file to be fully transferred to AEM after saving the file. Instead, the user can resume work as soon as the file is saved locally. In the second phase, Desktop App uploads the updated file to AEM server after a predefined delay (for example, 30s). This operation occurs in the background. Use the Show Background File Sync Status option to view the status of the upload operation.
The Copy and Move methods in the Assets API require the following additional headers to be passed to AEM:
- X-Destination
- X-Depth
- X-Overwrite
AEM Desktop connects to AEM using a URL that includes the default port. Therefore, the virtualhosts setting in the dispatcher configuration should include the default port number. For more information around virtualhosts configuration, see Identifying Virtual Hosts.
For additional information on configuring the dispatcher to pass through these additional headers, see Specifying the HTTP Headers.
As of now, AEM Desktop App is tested to be compatible with the following:
- Windows 7, with latest service packs and bug fixes
Go to the AEM Desktop App download page, and click the appropriate link to download the AEM Desktop App binary for your Windows operating system.
If you configure Proxy Server settings for Windows (Internet Options > LAN Settings), AEM Desktop App will go through the preconfigured proxy server when attempting to connect to the AEM instance that you specify. If you modify proxy settings, restart AEM Desktop App for the changes to take effect.
You can customize the Asset Info dialog by overlaying one or both of these components:
- The Granite UI page located at /libs/dam/gui/content/assets/moreinfo
- The HTL /css/javascript component located at /libs/dam/gui/components/admin/moreinfo
Which component is overlaid, depends on the nature of the customization. To change which components are displayed as part of the Asset Info dialog, overlay the Granite UI page. To change the HTML/CSS/Javascript content of the dialog, overlay the HTL component.
After you map the AEM Assets repository to your local drive, you can enable additional icons and the Folder Upload feature to appear for the mapped assets and folders.
Navigate to the Assets UI and hover the mouse pointer over a folder or asset. The following desktop actions are displayed as quick actions in the Card view:
- Open on desktop
- Edit desktop
- Reveal
These desktop actions are also available when you click/tap the Desktop Actions icon in the toolbar after selecting the asset or from the toolbar in the asset page.
Click/tap the Edit desktop quick action to open the asset for editing in an Adobe Creative Cloud application. Opening the asset in edit mode using this quick action checks the asset out. After you finish editing, check the asset in to update the changes in AEM Assets.
If you attempt to open or edit more than five assets simultaneously, a dialog is displayed notifying that the maximum limit has been reached and your request is not processed.
Using AEM Desktop, you can upload an entire folder containing assets from your local file directory to AEM Assets. This way, all assets within the folder are uploaded in bulk instead of having to upload them one at a time.
To link the version history for the assets edited through WebDAV, configure the DAM WebDAV version linking job from Configuration Manager.

BARRINGTON — The Barrington Middle School was bouncing with canines, mutts and purebreds, as the local Women's Club held their first annual dog costume contest in honor of Halloween.
Mari Schmalz said the group had about 20 dogs in the contest, and she was thrilled to hold the event to help fund the club's program for high school scholarships. She said she was also excited to see everyone's different attempts for the event, with all the pets dressed in their finest garb.
"We wanted to give the children, and Barrington seniors, more …," Schmlaz said, on the origins of the event. "My passion is dogs. I have a lot of rescues and I thought well, this would be an awesome way (to raise funds) and (it would) be fun."
Locals from surrounding towns showed up in their best get-ups.
Labradors Kone and Bode went as groom and bride while Barrington resident Pat Weisberg dressed her golden doodle "Romeo" in a head-to-toe autumn leaf ensemble.
"We actually came to get his good citizenship badge to be a therapy dog," Weisberg sad. " … When we heard there was a costume part of it, we said let's resurrect these."
Romeo was later awarded a proper designation by Canine Good Citizen trainer Diane Ellis.
Dogs competed for eight prizes and the chance to earn titles like scariest, best dressed, cutest and best "paws-onality."
The winners in each category earned gift cards from Northwood Veterinary Hospital, Aubuchon Hardware, Warren's Hardware, Margaritas Mexican Restaurant, Pet Paradise, Calef's Country Store, Northwood's Pizza, and Pet Au Pair.
Rochester resident Ashley Mercier, 24, dressed as Snow White, walked her Pappillon "Rocco" down the school parking lot dressed as the dwarf "Dopey" for judges to see.
"I like to bring the dog out for things and we already had this costume for Halloween," she said, with a laugh.
Middle-schooler Laura Henderson brought her golden retriever dressed as "Batman."
"He doesn't want to wear the mask so we had to just put on the ears," she said.
The 7-year-old dog had a black cape draping behind him.
The Caswell cousins, Anna, 10, of Milton,and Emma, 13, of Wakefield, along with the youngest, Abigail, brought their German shepherd Max dressed as the werewolf from Warren Zevon's classic song "Werewolves of London." They used a smartphone to play the tune loudly and dressed as his companion "Trader Vic's" waitresses, as referenced in the lyrics.
Cheryl Huckins, who has lived in Barrington for 20 years, said she loved to see her grandchildren out with their favorite pet.
"We're together every weekend, and we love Max," Huckins said. "He's so fun to be with and he plays all our games with us. For a 90-pound dog, he's doing good."
Eleven-year-old Patty Andersen, of Durham, brought along her Chihuahua-miniature Dachshund "Chedda" dressed as a ladybug. She joked he was a "ladydog" and showed off the costume she made from paper in just a few hours.
Her friend Gwyneth Crossman, 11, said she wanted to be there to support her Patty.
"And Chedda is obviously so cute," she said.
Canine costume party has guests howling in Barrington

GREENSBORO, N.C. – Averett University's defense forced four second-half turnovers and persevered for a 35-21 road football win at Guilford College Saturday night.
The Cougars (1-2) raced to a 21-0 first-quarter lead and hung on as Guilford (1-2) rallied to within a touchdown early in the fourth quarter. The Quakers made three trips deep into Averett territory on their final three possessions, but the Cougars' defense stood tall and made three fourth-quarter interceptions.
Averett's defense forced five Guilford turnovers but converted them into only one touchdown. That score, a 24-yard scoring run by Ke'Von White, came with 9:41 left in the game and restored Averett's lead to two touchdowns. Guilford had pulled to within 28-21 on a Josh Williams one-yard run early in the fourth quarter.
White finished with a team-high 83 rushing yards and two touchdowns for Averett. Jeff Redd carried 13 times for 57 yards. Philip Kwiatkowski completed eight-of-14 passes for 149 yards and two scores, including a nifty 45-yard strike to Tim Lovick on a double reverse that opened a 21-0 Averett lead late in the first quarter. Roderick Doggett and Robslin Emmanuel both thwarted Quakers' drives with interceptions in the Cougars' end zone. Teammate Isaac Green sealed the win with a theft on the Averett five-yard line with 64 seconds remaining.
The Quakers played minus 11 regular starters due to injury, including sophomore quarterback Zac Halbert, who has an injured foot. Sophomore Sam Griffin made his college debut as the starter, but gave way in the first quarter to Grady Gamble, a senior who saw very limited time under center in Guilford's first two games. Gamble, who did not play for the past two seasons, completed 17 of 48 passes for 280 yards and a touchdown, with four interceptions. Williams rushed for a game-high 85 yards on 23 carries and Mike Williams added 63 rushing yards and a score. Sophomore Lawrence Blake enjoyed a career night with nine catches for 136 yards. Teammate Ben King added seven grabs for 126 yards and a touchdown.
Following a bye week, Guilford opens Old Dominion Athletic Conference play at Washington and Lee University Oct. 1 at 1:30 p.m.

I heard this sentence in a film:
"I don't understand about this tunnel."
The meaning was approximately: I don't understand what it is for, or why they are digging it or something of the sort.
But can the verb "understand" be used that way?
(I know we have "what I don't understand about X is that...", but this isn't the same thing.)
"I don't understand this tunnel" is correct. Dropping the "about."

If the reactions of the past three days hold up, we're likely to see some kind of ban on assault weapons or on the ammo magazines of the sort used by the Newtown shooter.
That's good news for people who have been pushing for this since forever, many of them in deep-blue Connecticut. But contrary to the tone of the rising chorus since the tragedy, it's a messy picture that may or may not address the problem, and it raises questions well beyond the equally simplistic 2nd Amendment argument on the other side.
Will the reactions carry the day? Calls for a ban rose up even before state police Lt. J. Paul Vance grimly handed out lists of the victims on Saturday, and the people pushing for it correctly describe a long fight.
"This may not happen in our lifetime," said Hank Brown, one of 63 people at a vigil Saturday in West Hartford, next to the rose garden at Elizabeth Park. "We're just individuals standing here with candles, but this is how movements occur."
"It's just a question of not giving up. It's going to be a long, hard fight," said Lucy Ferriss, moments later at the same vigil, which was organized by MoveOn.org as an anti-gun violence event, one of hundreds at that moment around the nation.
They're right, and they're speaking from the heart. I'm also in the camp that says there's no good reason for civilians to own these things, and I'm also angry. Still, putting it in perspective seems helpful.
— An assault weapons ban is not a big part of the answer to stopping gun violence overall.
— It's not easy to legislate, contrary to the calls for a "simple" ban.
— A narrowly focused ban would work only as part of a holistic change in the nation's approach to violence, community policing, and treatment of mental illness. That's one of several reasons why President Obama has only hinted at a ban by calling for decisive action, rather than by calling for it outright.
— We are raw with emotion today and will be for days if not weeks after the last child is buried. Yes, it is time to talk about a ban on assault weapons even as families grieve. But no, it's not time to raise and enact it in Congress and at the Capitol in Hartford. We think and speak through emotion. We legislate by deliberation, for a reason.
— A ban could affect hundreds of jobs in Connecticut at Colt Defense and Colt's Manufacturing Co. in West Hartford, and at Sturm, Ruger & Co. in Fairfield, where they make and sell these things. That's no reason to shy away from a ban, but workers whose legitimate, legal livelihoods are wiped out would need to be compensated if they were suddenly ousted.
Hartford Mayor Pedro Segarra seems to have the big picture in perspective after a lifetime as the son of a father he never knew, cut down by a bullet in the South Bronx when the future mayor was a baby. On Sunday morning, Segarra appeared on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, briefly retelling that familiar story.
Segarra talked about the capital city's annual gun buyback event, and he called for "a ban on assault weapons."
"What we're asking for is some balance. We recognize our constitutional right to bear arms," Segarra said.
At noon Sunday, Segarra spoke at a vigil at the state Capitol, where neither he nor anyone else publicly called for a weapons ban.
The timing of this is indeed painful. Even at the MoveOn vigil, when someone said Obama needs help fighting the NRA, another participant yelled out, "Let's not make this political!"
After the Sunday vigil, Segarra said: "We will have those debates and I will get more involved in this issue. ... For now, those of us who are in leadership positions, we have to spend some time providing solace."
Segarra turned to Hartford Police Sgt. Sean Spell, who is on the city's task force on shooting violence. On his smart phone, Spell showed me a picture of a .223-caliber assault rifle recovered a year ago, which he said had been used in the killing of Angel Gomez on July 1, 2011.
"We don't come across those weapons often but they're out there," Spell said. He added, ominously, "When a rifle like this is used, it's massive."
Knowing the problem is one thing, defining it bylawis another.
Assault rifles, also known as modern sporting rifles in an industry that wants to soften the language, are a general term for semi-automatic weapons that reload a round of ammunition virtually instantly after they're fired. They are often sold as variations of the AR-15, which is a type, not a brand, and they are basically the civilian version of the M-16 and M-4 rifles sold to military and law enforcement customers.
The national ban in effect from 1994 until 2004, when a sunset provision retired it, prohibited new manufacture and sale of semi-automatic firearms, and the ban applied to weapons with at least two of a list of characteristics. It even named some models made by Colt and other gun-makers. But by changing a few things, the makers were able to largely get around the law.
In Connecticut, for example, the assault weapons ban is still in effect but the military-style rifle used by the Newtown shooter was full legal because of those definitions.
Sporting rifles are highly popular, all the more since the ban ended — and their main legitimate purpose appears to be target shooting, not hunting.
In 2010 the National Sports Shooting Foundation released a survey conducted by Harris Interactive showing there were 18.4 million active handgun target shooters and 14.8 million active rifle target shooters. The foundation happens to be located in Newtown and said on its website it would have no comment on the shootings out of respect for the victims, some of whom were known to staff members.
And that's the point. Everyone has a stake in stopping this madness. Common sense says we need tighter gun laws. But answers do not come easy.

DEVENS — Extremely high tensions over the jurisdiction of Devens abruptly ended Thursday night's Joint Boards of Selectmen meeting.
The board was set to vote on two questions regarding an overlay governance of the Devens Regional Enterprise Zone that would give Ayer, Shirley and Harvard joint jurisdiction over the former Army base.
In previous meetings, the board had discussed presenting a non-binding referendum at the three Town Meetings. The second vote asked whether Devens residents should be polled on the matter even before the non-binding referendum.
But not all of the town representatives took the issue back to their selectmen for discussion.
Harvard Selectman Leo Blair came out against polling Devens residents, arguing that it could "super-enfranchise" them. Devens residents living in the traditional Harvard boundaries are also Harvard residents who vote in Harvard, Blair argued. Allowing the poll would give them an extra say in a matter that would also affect the rest of the town.
"I'm not going to be put in a situation where we have a straw man here, and the straw man is there's an automatic edit from the Devens residents," Blair said. "I feel very sensitive to the needs and wants and desires of Devens residents, but that's not how we run local government."
Vice Chairman and Devens Rep. Tom Kinch suggested the towns go back and again present the questions to the boards of selectmen, but Kinch said there was never any vote on whether to present it to them.
The meeting swirled in a downward spiral from there, beginning an argument mainly dominated by Kinch and Blair over whether the towns' true jurisdiction was over the future of Devens.
Blair claimed Kinch brought the Devens poll to the table, although Kinch maintains he is personally against polling Devens residents.
"You've done a masterful job of dividing this board, Tom," Blair said.
Kinch said the issue was not between himself and Blair, but rather between the town of Shirley, whose selectmen seemed to agree Devens residents should be polled.
Kinch argued Mass Development governs Devens residents such as himself. This assertion led to the question of the existence of the Joint Boards.
"If this is some sort of an unwelcome and pointless exercise, what are we doing here?" Blair asked.
After about 40 minutes of argument, Kinch asked to adjourn the meeting. The board approved and walked out hurriedly.
"His issue's not with me, but then he started making it personal, which I'm offended by, and he started telling me three of us are legally intended to be at this table," Kinch said of Blair in a phone call after the meeting. "What he was saying is, 'Devens, what are you doing here, you're not supposed to be here because you're not a town.' "
Kinch said he's opposed to the idea of polling Devens residents, simply because all that does is split the community. Devens has been polled for its opinion before, and the exact opposite ends up happening.
"All it does is pit neighbor against neighbor, husband against wife," Kinch said. "It's bizarre. We're not a test bed for political games — we're human beings that live in a home, that have children just like everybody else in these communities."
Blair claims Kinch came up with the idea for polling Devens residents, although Kinch said he only did so because Ayer and Shirley wanted to.
After the meeting, Blair said he did not know where Kinch was coming from with his belief that towns do not have a say over Devens.
"If you believe their premise is correct, any part by the towns and any dialogue about Devens is completely pointless because we have no say," Blair said in a phone interview. "Why would we send elected officials there to participate in dialogue about its future when we actually, according to them, have no standing to do so?"
Blair also offered up his role as chairman at the beginning of the committee, although no other members volunteered. The board agreed to discuss it at the end of the meeting, which ended in the midst of the jurisdiction argument.

Mars and Beyond Robot
Take a look at my latest little side project. I set out to make a maquette of one of my favorite martians from Disney's 1957 "Mars and Beyond".
Years ago my pal Hoot Gibson gave me this DVD set and ever since I've been hooked. From that first viewing of "Mars and Beyond" I fantasized about a Tomorrowland ride based on this Ward Kimball treasure. The DVD also shares other films with a style that would lend to a wonderful Tomorrowland makeover. Speaking of Hoot Gibson... you may know that he is a master sculptor. His stuff makes me cry of jealousy.
Our great Twitter followers have been watching some of the step-by-step process over the last couple weeks. Here are some more process photos.

Rissa, Star-In-Making
The musically inclined beauty looks up to singers like Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera vocally. She produces seductive, finger-snapping tunes that embody great lyrics and hot tracks
Where's She's From: Multi-talented Rissa's resume includes film, television, dance, modeling, and theatre. Now the up- and-coming starlet wishes to have her first loves, music and producing, under her belt.
Born Clarissa Beatty, September 4th, 1981 in New York City, the 25-year-old has dreamt of being a famous singer since a young age. "I'd see Michael Jackson perform, and I'd get excited just from seeing how the crowd reacts to him. I knew then that music was my life," she tells The Black Star News.
Breaking into the entertainment field at the tender age of six, Rissa performed as a child dancer for heavy-hitters such as P. Diddy, back when he was called Puff Daddy, Salt-n-Pepa, & Biv of BBD. She's graced the Apollo stage and made various dance appearances in many music videos all by the age of 13. "We'd be out performing at celebrity parties 'til like 4 in the morning on school nights," she recalls, talking about The Fly Girls, the name of the dance group. Through her mother's dream of a successful dance group, many different roads in the entertainment field were paved. She signed with several acting agencies where she acquired many lead roles as a young performer.
Where She's At: Now as an adult, Rissa is working diligently on her music career, putting all aside in hopes to release a HIT debut album by 2007. "I'm writing and recording everyday, which I have to say, is very hard. I never knew how hard it is to record and sound really good,� she laughs.
"A producer I am working with told me he's locked many artists in the studio 'til they'd sing right—assuring me that the best have bad days as well. In the end, I'm always satisfied with the outcome!" she adds, noting that the producer has worked alongside many of today's chart toppers.
The musically inclined beauty looks up to singers like Mariah Carey and Christina Aguilera vocally. She produces seductive, finger-snapping tunes that embody great lyrics and hot tracks. With many songs about crushes, partying, and a harsh relationship, Rissa should have no problem meeting her goal--releasing a HIT debut album that is.
Words of Wisdom: Don't feed into negativity. When you're an entertainer, you're criticized 24/7 by executives, the public, and even fans. Always think positive and positive things will happen.Â
Secrets of Success: I try my best to think positive. When I am in that state of mind, nothing seems impossible. I feel like I can do this—and with a can do attitude, you bring many spirits up. This is where people start liking you! So think positive.

For three weeks this summer, masons and mechanics, farmers and welders, scientists and a pastor threw themselves into creating low-tech solutions to big problems that persist across the globe.
Converging here at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, these 61 inventors from 20 countries divided into multilingual teams, each drafting and tinkering with their own device that will hopefully make life for the world's poor a little easier.
There was no grand prize to be won at this second-annual International Development Design Summit (IDDS), but members sometimes skipped meals and stayed up late – sawing, hammering, and welding – to perfect and build their designs.
Soon, their prototypes will be rebuilt and refined in the developing world by artisans using locally available materials and tested ultimately by consumers who live on less than a dollar a day.
While the 10 teams constructed a wide variety of devices – from an inexpensive incubator for low-birth-weight babies to a rope system that could help craftswomen in the Himalayas get their products to market – here are three of the most interesting inventions to emerge from this year's IDDS:
The charcoal crusher
Each summer, Americans fire up their charcoal grill for an outdoor barbecue.
In many developing countries, charcoal is an everyday fuel and used with indoor kitchen stoves. But the smoke-flavored food carries a health risk.
Charcoal is not clean-burning, and one IDDS team says the resultant indoor pollution has been linked to deaths on the same scale as malaria and tuberculosis globally.
One way to make charcoal produce fewer emissions is to pulverize the charred agricultural waste – like corncobs or crushed sugar cane – and pack it into denser briquettes.
A $2 metal press is already available for crushing powder into charcoal, says Jessica Vechakul, an engineer from MIT. What is missing in the market is a device to crush the burnt cobs into powder – so her IDDS team decided to build one. Their prototype looks like an oversized mouse trap with a hand crank. The user spins the crank and feeds the blackened cobs through a hopper. The grinder drops the powder into a container where it's mixed with other ingredients into a cookie-dough consistency for briquettes. The simple contraption can crush six pounds of cobs in 10 minutes.
Right now, people who make charcoal from corncobs stomp on bags of burned cobs or beat the sacks with heavy sticks. When they empty the bags, the crusher is momentarily engulfed in a black cloud, inhaling the dust, Vechakul says. Also, after a few stomping sessions, the bags must be replaced – a recurring expense. "It is one messy job," says Ms. Vechakul.
Bernard Kiwia, a bike mechanic from Tanzania, will take his team's design to his home country. There, his job will be to persuade rural communities to use the hand-cranked device instead of cutting down trees for fuel. This alternative fuel from agricultural waste might be cheap overall, but, as some rural poor see it, wood costs nothing but time and effort, says Mr. Kiwia.
Unless they understand the huge environmental cost of chopping down trees on a regular basis, those in the countryside have little incentive to switch to a cleaner fuel, he says. Getting the target audience to invest in the IDDS device appears to be toughest part of the design game.
Educational, supercheap computers
Video-game cartridges from the 1980s may strike some as quaint relics from an 8-bit era. But an IDDS team sought to convert the outmoded systems into an inexpensive learning tool for schoolchildren in developing countries.
Computers are prohibitively expensive for many in developing nations. But TV sets are common and could work as a platform for educational games, says Derek Lomas, the design team leader.
Earlier this year in Bangalore, India, Mr. Lomas strolled through a bazaar and noticed an educational video-game system based on the Japanese Nintendo Famicom, for which patents have run out. Just for a lark, he bought the set for $12.50. The generic system came with two game cartridges, a keyboard, and a couple of controllers.
Such a cheap, TV-based computer got his IDDS team brainstorming. Facilities in Ghanaian public high schools are significantly lacking compared with private schools, says teammate and Ghanaian pastor George Fuachie. Some cleverly designed educational software with reasonable price tags could give disadvantaged kids much-needed help and computer training. Off the shelf, this rudimentary computer can run a graphic user interface with a mouse and has some built-in programming capability. The team's job is to design software appropriate for the classroom.
"It can run 8-bit games like Oregon Trail, Lemonade Stand, PAWS teaches typing, and Number Munchers, which I enjoyed playing as a kid," says Lomas. Eventually, students could start creating their own locally relevant games on this system. Imagine children in Africa playing ethnic board games like Mancala – or a regional variation – on a television screen, he says.
The team researched hardware modifications to the TV-computer that will enable users to connect to text-only Internet sites – they declare it doable. Within a month, they also assembled a software development kit that makes it easier for open-source developers to produce new games and educational content for the system.
Going from the design concept to a commercial product is the task that lies ahead. When that happens, Lomas can consider his $12.50 investment a decent bargain.
Power generation from everyday chores
Globally, 1.6 billion people have no access to electricity and use fuel lamps or stay in darkness every night. Going about their daytime chores – pumping water, grinding dough, or getting around on bicycles – these off-the-grid people physically exert themselves to run machines. One IDDS team worked on a bit of modern alchemy – converting mechanical energy from everyday labor into stored electrical energy.
Few consumers will labor away to generate electrical power. "But if the effort is incidental as they go about some regular task, people don't seem to mind putting in that extra 10 percent," says Jay Pagnis, a mechanical engineering student from India. His team focused on treadle pumps – foot-operated devices used to irrigate farmland in Asia and Africa. Many country farmers step on and off these StairMaster-like contraptions to pump water for an average of four hours a day.
The team's generator attachment fits in a wooden frame and hooks the pump's treadle to a turning wheel, which charges a couple of store-bought batteries. After the day's work, a farmer can unhook the rechargeable batteries and use the power to light a 5-watt compact fluorescent lamp – the equivalent of a regular 25 watt incandescent lamp – for four hours, says Mr. Pagnis.
This may not seem like much, but this lighting is more efficient compared with kerosene lamps currently in use in such places, points out teammate Suprio Das, an Indian electrical engineer. What's more, this set-up can pay for itself in six months, they say. And, if it breaks down, the mechanism is simple enough to be repaired by a local bike mechanic.

It's a classic story line in sustainability: dirty tech goes green. We've seen coal mines transformed into geothermal energy stores and dirty plants become gorgeous green buildings. Now, for the first time ever, we may see out-of-use coal mines used as pump storage for wind power in Germany. The state government of Lower Saxony is working with engineers to determine the potential for using abandoned mines in the Harz Mountains to house hydroelectric pumps to store excess wind power. If it comes to fruition, the plant would be the first of its kind in the world.
Perhaps the most promising part of the plan is that it has essentially no critics. Environmentalists and local residents like the idea because the storage system would be out of sight, buried in the mountains. Energy experts like the idea because its tailored to suit the local conditions, and coal miners like the idea because the mines will get a new life. "The tradition of mining is so great in the Harz region, that they want to see the mines back in use again, so there are practically no critics of the project," said the project's engineer Mark Schmidt.
So, how exactly do hydroelectric pumps store wind power? Since wind power is not always available at the same strength, during times of excess power, the energy needs to be stored. To do this, the excess wind power pumps water into elevated storage tanks or reservoirs. Then when the wind power is not meeting demand on its own, gravity pulls the water to a lower tank, powering the turbines along the way so they still generate electricity. It would be a closed loop system, with the same water cycling through again and again.
Variations of these types of water pump storage systems already exist, but the reservoirs are traditionally on top of the mountains and highly visible. The fact that Schmidt's system would be underground and out of sight is its biggest advantage. Plus, the system is adapting the existing infrastructure of the dormant mines, meaning less construction for the entire project.
Schmidt has identified six locations in the Harz Mountain region that could be used for plants, with a pilot site being the Wiemannsbucht mine shaft in Bad Grund. The pilot plant would cost between 170 and 200 million euros and take three to five years to build. It would be able to store up to 400 MW of energy, which is enough to power 40,000 homes for a day.
The project does not have any investors at this point, but given its popularity, we think it has a good chance of success. Schmidt does, too, telling Deustche Welle, "It is absolutely possible that this project will be realized in the near future, it's very realistic."

"Lost" fans weren't the only ones debating and pondering the show's epic climax in May. So were the very stars of the show, including Michael Emerson. In the days the following the finale, he was trying "to put it all together, to make sense of it all."
While the finale -- like that of any great show -- was controversial amongst the critics and the faithful, Emerson was "perfectly satisfied."
"They delivered the goods," he says.
The show didn't answer every question which was fine by Emerson. "I appreciated what was left unsaid or ambiguous," he says. "I prefer things that are suggested rather than concrete."
So we took advantage of Emerson speaking to us to promote "Lost: The Complete Sixth Season" and "Lost: The Complete Collection," which debuts on Blu-ray & DVD on August 24, to explain the ending. It's his words from here.
In a nutshell. Everything we saw on the island really happened. The plane crashed. We all really lived there. They really had those adventures. But during season 6, there is a change. Everyone on the show is among the newly dead.
And the newly dead hold onto life. They hold onto an idealized vision of the life they lived or that they wished they lived. That's what everyone is doing in that church. We have leaped forward in time.
After the killing of the smoke monster and the death of Jack and Hurley taking charge -- then we move a great distance forward in time. That scene in the church, that is hundreds of years in the future? It doesn't matter -- because in the afterlife time is no longer linear. That is already one of the themes of the show anyways.
So everyone is dead and they are merely waiting for everyone to arrive and be rejoined with their mirror redeemers -- that is what I am choosing to call it. That other person from life who loved them so unconditionally that it gave them a license to forgive themselves and thereby be spiritually redeemed. So everyone leaves in pairs. Because it takes two to walk into the afterlife.
Ben doesn't have a redeemer. That's why he doesn't get to go. That's why he is waiting. Ben is still outside the door. He cannot come in. He says he still has work to do. He has more to make right.
