PROG: 66 – Fugitive
Script: Peter Greenaway
Art: Ron Tiner
Letters: Bill Nutall
Plot: The year is 2000AD and a panicked man runs through the back streets of London. He knocks over a metal bin and realises his mystery pursurers will have located him, sure enough a caped humanoid gunman floats into view. The runner pleads for his life but to no avail, the robotic-looking humanoid shoots.
Shock: The fugitive is destroyed, its body a mess of metalwork. The gunman lifts up his robotic mask to reveal a human face, and reflects how realistic the factory robot looked.
Thoughts: Bladerunner in eight panels, this small Shock delivers its fun tight, fast and unfussy. Ron Tiner, a new name to the prog, delivers a very realistic looking year 2000 London; run down, crummy and not really advanced from 1978, and he pulls off the essential task of making the human look android,and the android human, with a style that reminds of Ron Turner or Ian Kennedy. The story is very compressed and effective, the reveal that it was human hunting a rogue robot is kept to the second page whereas the first has a nice balance between chase and depiction of the pursuer as callous and heartless. The Shock marks the return to an early theme of Future Shocks, that of 'mankind' being the bad guy. Like several of the early Future Shocks the anachronistic charm of the strip shines through, not least when our hapless fugitive clangs his way over a set of metal dustbins.
Shock'd?: Pretty effective; the switch of the pursuer being the human is effectively masked by the pleading for humanity from the fugitive. It's a very slight strip and not the first time Future Shocks have had a human-robot reverse as the reveal but it is still charmingly executed and is careful never to refer to the fugitive as a 'man' or 'human' before the shock is revealed.

Flood victims still struggle, wait
As the one-year anniversary of the June 20 flash flood in Duluth and surrounding area approaches, flood victims are still struggling and waiting. Victims are still in holding patterns waiting on the federal government to release buyout funds. Buyouts have been offered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for people whose homes are so structurally damaged by the flood they are deemed unlivable. The DNR funds only cover specific areas in the flood areas. The flood hit the Pine County area late on June 20 into June 21.
Greg Koivisto and his wife Dee are still renting east of Barnum. Their home in Rutledge is still in ruins after being changed to a flood way by FEMA. Being in a flood way means they are not allowed to live there during the buyout wait. Greg Koivisto said, "We are sitting here stuck in our blind spot." He went on to say that, on top of rent, they must keep current on both their mortgage and insurance in order to stay qualified for the buyout. Koivisto went on to say, "It's getting tougher and tougher all the time. It's not a good situation. Something has to be done to hurry it along. They gotta make it right."
Pine County gives all the victims and involved cities a weekly update through Pine County Auditor Kelly Schroeder's office.
Schroeder said all of the DNR funding has arrived but there are only nine properties in Pine County that qualify for their funding at 100 percent. They will be moving forward on those buyouts according to Schroeder. Schroeder said the DNR funding only covers 25 percent of the remaining buyouts. She said they are waiting on FEMA to forward the rest of those funds (75 percent) before payment can be made.
Schroeder said the county hired a new flood recovery coordinator, Matt Futon, mid-April. He finished the county's application to FEMA for the county by the end of April according to Schroeder. After the county sent in an updated county mitigation plan mid-May, Schroeder said, "All our stuff is done." The mitigation plan was due for update on May 27. A mitigation plan is intended to identify policies and actions that can be implemented over the long term to reduce risk and further losses in the case of a disaster. The update had to be in place to receive the FEMA funds. The buyouts had to be put on the back burner according to Schroeder. She said the title services and purchase agreements for the buyout properties are all finished but cannot be signed by the owners until the federal funding arrives.
The Gertzens, Jan and Denny, said they were also interviewed by Minnesota Public Radio on the situation on June 12. Jan Gertzen said that even though they were covered by flood insurance, they are still fighting the insurance company for the last 25 percent of their claim. The original lawyer they retained did not follow through — they lost four months time — but they are still continuing to fight the battle with a new lawyer.
Jan Gertzen said, "The day Futon was hired he was to our home to see us." She said they had originally been told, because they had insurance, they were not qualified for the buyout. Now they have been informed that they could be a part of it and are considering it. Gertzen said, "We are the forgotten community. A lot of folks are staying in their homes because the buyout would not pay off their mortgages. They are not trusting in the government because we've been blind sided so many times."
Gertzen added, "In my opinion, these small communities can't handle it (flood emergencies) so the state should have stepped in." She said the local residents have not had any recent looting problems of properties due to neighbors watching each other's property.
Another Sturgeon Lake resident, Dody Ockwig and her husband Bob, who live on Market Road, did not lose their home as they had previously feared in January. She said they were able to catch up on their mortgage and re-qualified for the Small Business Association (SBA) loan to help further the repair on their home. Unfortunately, she said, they now have to pay on two loans. Ockwig also said, "We are staying in our home as far as I know." Ockwig stated the buyout offer on their property was too low and would not have paid off their mortgage.
In a phone conversation with Sturgeon Lake Mayor Thomas Helfman, he said, "I'm glad it (the flood) is over and I hope to never see that again." He said it was amazing how long it takes to get through the whole process. Helfman went on to say, "We hope to finally get all this behind us with the buyout."
In a conversation with Willow River Mayor Vicki Whitehouse on June 13, Whitehouse said they were told that 5-6 properties were being considered in the buyout. She added, "I'm really disappointed (in the process) and truly feel all our residents have been let down." Whitehouse went on to say, "Many folks put a lot of money into repair and they (FEMA) really waited too long to let people know there would be a buyout before they invested that money in their homes. It was really disheartening."
She stated, "It was really hard to watch the residents (of Willow River) suffer in that emergency." When asked about the Willow River dam, Whitehouse said, "It was an act of God the water pressure on both sides of the dam rose simultaneously. I had it inspected immediately and there was no damage to the dam itself." Willow River also sits in limbo waiting for the funds to arrive from FEMA. Whitehouse said she was not pleased with FEMA.
The new mayor of Rutledge, Richard Holm, who took over office in January, said the current council passed a new flood building ordinance. The original one passed in October limited building options for residents on the flood fringe. The new ordinance focuses on allowing more choices such as the option to build structures up high enough to allow flood waters to flow below the structure. Holm said he experienced some of the flooding on his own property. Holm also said they were using the FEMA appropriated funds to repair Starlight Road, Long Lake Road, plus Bald Eagle Avenue and Lane. Rutledge residents are also waiting on the buyout funding.
A year later many flood victims are sitting in irreparable homes waiting for the buyout while others have put a lot of out-of-pocket cash into repairs. There were some emergency funds to help get some homes livable through the winter, but victims are all still waiting on the possible buyout funds. As the one-year anniversary of the flood approaches, Ockwig said, "I fear it happening again."

Extreme heat and drought have created prime growing conditions for Aspergillus ear rot in corn. The fungus produces aflatoxin, a toxic carcinogen that also can cause health problems in livestock.
(Purdue University photo/Charles Woloshuk)
By Jennifer Stewart
September 13, 2012
The season-long drought and extreme heat have created conditions prime for Aspergillus ear rot to develop in corn, so growers should scout their fields and inspect their grain, a Purdue Extension plant pathologist says.
The fungus, which infects corn ears through the silks or wounds, produces aflatoxin, a toxic carcinogen that also can cause health problems for livestock that consume contaminated corn.
"Aspergillus ear rot is out there, but it varies greatly from field to field, mostly depending on planting time and environmental conditions at pollination," Kiersten Wise said. "There is no field without some potential for the disease."
Fields most at risk are those in which corn was planted in late March to early April, due to the high temperatures and drought stress that occurred when that corn was pollinating. Even if corn was planted later in April, it is still at risk if it was under extreme drought stress during pollination, planted in sandy soils or experienced insect and hail damage.
"Producers should scout fields prior to harvest and determine the level of incidence of the disease in the field," Wise said.
The disease can be identified by its olive green, moldy growth on corn ears.
If growers suspect the disease, they can submit grain samples to Purdue's Animal Disease Diagnostic Laboratory, for aflatoxin analysis. This lab routinely screens samples for aflatoxin.
The U.S. Department of Agriculture regulates how much aflatoxin can be in finished livestock feed and corn for human consumption. Regulations vary by species but are especially tight for consumption by humans and dairy cattle, at 20 parts per billion. Regulations for other species are:
* 100 ppb in corn grain for breeding cattle, swine and mature poultry.
* 200 ppb in corn grain intended for finishing swine of 100 pounds or greater.
* 300 ppb in corn grain intended for finishing beef cattle.
Grain elevators are likely to reject loads of corn that exceed government regulations, or they could penalize producers by docking the price.
"At this point in the season, there are no management strategies for reducing ear rots in fields that will remain for grain production," Wise said.
But she and several of her Purdue Extension colleagues teamed up to offer some strategies to help keep the aflatoxin issue from worsening:
* Harvest corn as early as possible. Late-season rains can increase mold growth and aflatoxin levels.
* Dry grain to less than 15 percent moisture. Make sure to dry grain promptly to keep aflatoxin problems from getting worse.
* Remove fine material. Fines often contain higher toxin levels than the grain and can interfere with drying and aeration.
* Clean equipment inside and out before and after use. Moldy or insect-infested kernels can contaminate next year's crop.
A compilation of free Purdue Extension resources for managing moldy corn is available at http://www.purdue.edu/cornmold
Purdue Extension also teamed up with the Indiana Corn Marketing Council to produce the free publication "Managing Aspergillus Ear Rot and Aflatoxin." The publication, ID-451-W, is available through the Education Store at http://www.extension.purdue.edu/store or by calling 888-EXT-INFO (888-398-4636).

STRANGE BUT TRUE- Wordy inquisition: How a familiar puzzle got its start
A. The early 20th century "word-cross" puzzle, later a "cross-word" puzzle, finally a "crossword," by U.S. journalist Arthur Wynne, a Liverpudlian emigre who was trying for something boldly new for the 1913 Christmas edition of the New York Sunday newspaper World, says David Crystal in Language Play. Wynne originally slotted the words into a diamond-shaped grid which eventually became standardized into a square.
The new fad crossed the Atlantic to Britain, where numerous organizations were invited to submit potential entries. At one point, it is reported, officials at the London Zoo announced they would no longer answer telephone enquiries about the gnu, the emu, or any other three-letter creatures. The genre is continually evolving, adds Crystal, with compilers devising more and more ingenious, even "tortuous" puzzles and adopting such professional pseudonyms as Torquemada and Ximenes, leaders of the Spanish Inquisition!
Q. How to mummify a corpse: Pump in an embalming mix of salts, then draw out whatever moisture can be removed, "turning up the thermostat" to "cook off" the H2O and wrapping the body in hundreds of yards of linen to help facilitate the 70-day demoisturization process. Push the arid airflow up to max. For a regal touch, smother the body in honey to ward off decomposition and to keep fungi and bacteria at bay. When and where was this done? –K. Tut
A. The honey was reportedly applied to Alexander the Great in the warm, arid environment of ancient Egypt, part of the mummification process 5,000 years ago, says Amy Barth in Discover magazine. Mummies' long-kept secrets are coming to light these days as interdisciplinary groups like the Swiss Mummy Project in Zurich use MRI and the like to probe mummies' internal structure without harming the fragile figures. Forensic examiners carefully access soft tissue for evidence of disease, trauma, and cause of death– vitamin C deficiency, syphilis, tuberculosis– while bones reveal height and lifespan, and teeth provide clues to diet and nutrition.
Although Egyptian mummies are best known, such remains also turn up in China, South Africa, and Greece.
Apparently, "It's never too late to look your best. In ancient Egypt, the deceased's skin was sometimes cut and stuffed with layers of mud to make tissue look livelier," Barth writes.
Q. Where on (in) Earth did that flashy engagement ring diamond come from? –L. R. Kelly
A. From the upper regions of our planet's mantle, pushed surface-ward via volcanic eruptions, says University of Tennessee planetary geoscientist Lawrence Taylor in Physical & Chemical Properties of Diamonds and Their Inclusions.
Geologically marvelous, diamonds are the densest form of carbon, their atoms fitted like myriad tiny pyramids. A diamond may not be forever, but it's about as hard as things in Nature get, formed under a pressure of 40-60 kilobars (600,000-900,000 psi) and temperatures of 1100- 1400 C (2000-2500 F), coming from Earth depths of 120-180 km (75-110 miles).
Common especially in South Africa, Zambia, and Russia, diamonds can be thought of as highly, highly compressed chunks of coal, says University of California-Los Angeles paleobiologist William Schopf. Lower-grade ones are used industrially in things like saw blades, hard enough to cut rock. Synthetic diamonds are now made commercially, "so, buyers beware when purchasing that engagement ring."

MIDDLEBURY — The improved 2011 version of the Middlebury Union High School boys' tennis team moved to 2-0 on Monday, when the Tigers defeated visiting U-32, 4-0, in a rain-shortened match.
A year ago, a Tiger team with only eight players often had to forfeit either a singles or a doubles match against each opponent finished 3-11. This year, Coach Franz Kollas's team doubled in size to 16 and has healthy competition up and down the ladder for spots.
MIDDLEBURY — Sen. Claire Ayer, D-Weybridge, received a lot of feedback on Tuesday in wake of the Senate's passage, by a 21-9 vote, of a bill that lays the foundation for a single-payer health care system in Vermont.
But perhaps none of the feedback touched her as much as a message she got from the parents of her new grandchild, who turned two years old this week.
MIDDLEBURY — When Jennifer Wagner auditioned for a role in "The King and I" with the Middlebury Community Players, she never expected to find that the musical about a British woman in 19th century Siam had local historical connections.
But a chance trip to Manchester earlier in April brought the play, which on Thursday begins a two-week run at Town Hall Theater, a little closer to home. In Manchester, she stumbled upon the tombstones of Shoreham natives Asa and Lucia Hemenway, who served as missionaries to Siam (now Thailand) between 1839 and 1850.
ADDISON COUNTY / BRANDON — As thousands of people pitch in to clear trash off of Vermont roadsides on Saturday, May 7, they will be observing a Green Up Day tradition established by Gov. Deane Davis in 1970.
After members of each community package litter into Green Up bags for pick-up along newly clean roadsides, towns across the county will observe the 31st annual spring-cleaning event with cookouts, community dinners and raffles.
VERGENNES — Vergennes aldermen on Tuesday took another step toward a new police station, and heard for the first time a suggestion on how to pay for it without raising taxes.
Aldermen unanimously voted to ask City Manager Mel Hawley to study building a new station on city-owned land off Green Street, and they heard Hawley cite the Tower Fund as a way to pay for it.

It's a seemingly unending battle. Botnets get put up by bad guys, taken down by good guys and are replaced presumably by either the same or newer bad guys.
But Microsoft's highly publicized leadership role in last Friday's take down of several botnets using Zeus malware is being called "unprecedented" — by Microsoft itself.
In a late Sunday blog post following raids in Pennsylvania and Illinois on Friday, Senior Attorney Richard Domingues Boscovich of Microsoft's Digital Crimes Unit called the latest effort the "most complex" to date. Not only did it involve the Redmond computing giant, but also FS-ISAC (Financial Services – Information Sharing and Analysis Center), NACHA (The Electronic Payments Association) and Kyrus Tech Inc.
The objective, Boscovich writes, was not the permanent shutdown of all of the related botnets, but a "strategic disruption of operations" in order to "cause long-term damage to the cybercriminal organization that relies on these botnets."
Microsoft says the Zeus malware is keylogger software, recording keystrokes such as passwords for financial institutions. Boscovich says Zeus is especially a concern because it can be purchased as a "crimeware kit" for anywhere between $700 and $15,000. More than 13 million suspected infections have been detected by Microsoft worldwide.
Instead of taking down the botnet as a whole, Boscovich says this action — which began with a civil suit — was designed to sever the command and control structure that enables Zeus botnets. Servers were physically seized, two IP addresses allegedly behind Zeus' command and control structure were taken down, and 800 domains were secured to help identify Zeus-infected computers.
Microsoft says in a press release that it was the first time multiple botnets were disrupted simultaneously in a single action, and the first known time the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act was applied in a case of this type.
The upshot? "We have proactively disrupted some of the most harmful botnets, and we expect this effort will significantly impact the cybercriminal underground for quite some time."

Tracy Beloin—or Tracy Ciosek as she's remembered by Lady Knight fans—almost missed the 1986 championship basketball game because of a severe back problem that had plagued her all season, so nobody expected her to carry the team on her shoulders in the final minutes of the game.
Rockville's game plan was working. A box-and-one defense held Tracy to just one basket in the opening quarter. A relentless attack held her to just three scores in the opening half, but Southington opened an almost insurmountable lead by the break.
Nobody thought they needed her scoring until Southington's collapse after the break. The lopsided lead shrank to just three points. Coaches screamed for Ciosek. Fans screeched for their junior scorer, and her teammates begged her to score. Ciosek called for the ball.
"She fired four times. Bang. Bang. Bang. Bang," wrote former Southington Observer sports writer Jim Senich. "Rockville was history. Southington High School's girls basketball team was a state champion in the Class LL division."
Tracy was crowned as the tournament's most valuable player. Her photo was splashed across the state's media, and her name was scrawled across the headlines. Former Lady Knight coach Joe Daddio bragged about his junior star.
"The girls sensed right away Tracy would win the game for them when she hit her first shot," he told reporters as she climbed the ladder to cut down the net. "Hey, we have so much confidence in Tracy, we had a play where we set a pick for her 18 feet from the hoop. And she hit it. Beautiful."
Most athletes would champion a moment like this when they start to weave stories about their glory days as an athlete. Actually, most would have to choose a moment much smaller than Ciosek's buzzer-beating performance in a championship game, but Tracy never mentioned it during a 45-minute interview about one of Southington's greatest female careers.
More than a quarter century has passed since her last-second heroics captured the title, but it's the loss in 1985's championship game that Tracy remembered the most.
"It still irks me today that we only won five of our six state championships," she said about the Lady Knight storied runs in softball and basketball in the mid-1980s. "We should have won. We were winning the whole game and killing them in the state championship game at halftime, but we lost by two points. That was disgusting. I really think that was the best team we had, and we didn't win…We should have been 6-for-6."
The sports landscape was much different when Tracy arrived at the high school before Title IX forced schools to catch up to Southington's lead. Some Connecticut schools didn't even offer high school sports to their girls, but Southington was already as state power. Wins and titles were expected, and players almost felt like rock stars as they stepped onto the field.
"I can remember our gym being filled, not only with parents but with the students and all our friends. Everybody used to come out to watch Southington," she said. "The gym was filled. We used to play softball, and all of our home games were under the lights at Recreation Park. I can remember having huge crowds cheering for us, and that was amazing. We had such huge support, and I guess I thought that everybody had that. I kind of took it for granted."
For fans, it was worth the price of admission. Tracy was among a list of multiple sports athletes that raised the bar, even for Southington's expectations. To this day, there are very few athletes that can compare to Southington's success when Tracy was at the center.
She was a guard/forward on a team that rallied for back-to-back titles. She was a shortstop during her a title run in her sophomore year, and stepped to the mound to lead them back for two more titles during a pair of undefeated state title runs. Tracy seemed to excel when the game was on the line.
"She was just a great athlete. Tracy was a natural, and she seemed to enjoy everything about her high school experience," said former Lady Knight coach Joe Piazza. "I don't think you're ever going to find another pitcher that started 48 games and won 48 games in her career. For a high school kid to say that they won 48 games in a row is something, but for Tracy to say that she never lost is incredible. That means that she didn't have a bad day. Even if she had an off-day, she pitched well enough to win."
For Tracy, it was just about the competition. She grew up at a time when there were no girls softball leagues. There were no girls travel teams or summer camps at the high school. If she wanted to compete, she had to beat the boys. And that's exactly what she did. Tracy joined pick-up games in the neighborhood. She practiced with her father in the back yard and earned her way onto the Northern Little League Braves where she out-played the boys to earn a starting position as a shortstop.
"I was the only girl on the team, and I think I may have been the only girl in the league," she said. "I actually had to purchase my own pants because I was the tallest on the team. The boys pants weren't long enough. They wouldn't have gone past my knees. I still laugh when I see the old pictures. My pants are a slightly different color and I'm the tallest one."
It wasn't until seventh grade that Tracy was able to compete as a part of a girls team, but the results were the same. She quickly rose to prominence at St. Thomas Junior High School in volleyball, basketball, and softball. It was here that she began to mingle with other female athletes to lay the foundation for their high school dominance.
"She didn't really get a lot of instruction," said Piazza. "There wasn't a lot of summer activity back then, and kids like Tracy were involved in two or three sports. Tracy was the type of kid that would play basketball during basketball season, play softball during softball season, and if she decided to play volleyball, that's all she would do during volleyball season. She didn't do all that extra work. She was just a natural athlete, but you'd never know it by looking at her."
When she arrived at the high school, Tracy quickly rose to the top once again. She battled her way onto the varsity basketball roster as a sophomore and worked her way into the main rotation by the end of the season. Piazza shuffled her throughout the infield in the spring to get her into his softball lineup, and she settled into the shortstop position during her first of three title runs.
As a junior, she was shifted to pitcher, and that catapulted her to a different level. Just a few days before opening day, doctors had cleared her from her back injuries in the winter season, but Piazza said he still didn't believe them. He sent her to practice against the wall of the school and returned to his infielders.
"I kept hearing, 'Ba-boom. Ba-boom.' I looked over, and she was throwing like she had been throwing all year," said Piazza.
"She just kept getting better and better and better. Defensively, there wasn't anybody better. She was a shortstop, and you don't get a lot of shortstops that pitch at the high school level. It gives you a lot of leeway. You can play your third baseman back a little bit. You can keep your first baseman back a little bit. It allowed us to do different things because Tracy could cover so much ground and throw overhand."
Nobody could stop the Knights with Tracy on the mound. The Lady Knights already had a 4-0 winning streak from their championship run in 1985, and Tracy added 48 straight victories to the rally. Her teams won two more state titles and the winning streak set a new state record.
"We had a lot of great teams, and I had a lot of good friends on the team," she said. "We had a lot of fun playing, and that's what it was about. I had a lot of help. Melinda [Silva] helped me behind the plate. We had a great defensive team and a great hitting team. My parents were very supportive, and we had great coaches. It wasn't just me."
Scouts began to appear in the crowd as Tracy continued to manhandle opponents. She worked her way into a pair of all-state rosters in basketball and a pair of all-state rosters in softball. Ciosek-Beloin could have her pick of division one programs, but she settled on the University of Hartford. The Hawks were a struggling division one program at the time, but Tracy chose it for academic reasons.
"Do I regret not going to UConn or one of the schools down south? Yeah, a little bit," she said. "I wish I had a little bit more of that athletic experience, but I never regretted going to the University of Hartford. It's a great school, and I ended up getting a full scholarship. I didn't have to pay a dime and I got a great job and great career out of it."
Although her statistics never matched her high school career, her impact might have been greater. She joined teammates in an effort to attract anybody with playing experience just to field a competitive team, and she went on to lead them into a competitive program despite their lack of talent.
Tracy still ranks among the top five in eight different categories including a pair of single season lists and six career categories. She is ranked second in single season shutouts (24 in 1989) and fourth in games started (24 in 1989). She ranks fourth in starts (58) and shutouts (11) over her career. She is still ranked fifth in triples (6), appearances (63), innings pitched (385.2), and strikeouts-to-walks ratio (2.63).
Tracy still shies away from taking credit for all of her accomplishments.
"You can't say that I was a great pitcher, and I have the stats to prove it. You have to have a good team around you," she said. "If routine balls aren't caught and routine ground balls are not fielded and you can't score runs, you aren't going to win. No matter how good the pitcher is. You can't strike everybody out, and you can't do it with one person. It takes a team. That's what Southington softball is all about. It was never about just one person."
Still, she was an easy choice for the selection committee as they compiled the list of athletes for the 2012 Southington Sports Hall of Fame. She will be inducted during a ceremony at the Aqua Turf on Thursday, Nov. 8. For tickets, contact Jim Verderame, (860) 628-7335.
"It's exciting to know that, of all the people that have gone through Southington sports, I have been selected," she said. "Southington's always been such a big sports town. It was a great place to grow up and a great place to play sports. It was such a supportive town, and you don't get that everywhere. I'm very appreciative and I'm very excited."

Philips' inter-firm collaborations to make CD-i a success
>> Wednesday, December 17, 2008
As we have seen, collaboration between consumer electronics manufacturers was a crucial part of the development of CD-i technology. In addition to the pivotal agreement between Philips and Sony on hardware standards, Philips had entered into a string of joint ventures in Europe, the United States and Japan in order to develop hardware and software tools and facilitate software production. The scale of these joint ventures illustrates the extent to which CD-i as a multimedia technology involves areas of technical expertise which even a major multinational electronics company does not possess in-house. In both Japan and the United States Philips teamed up with major print and electronic data publishers, Toppan and R.R. Donnelly respectively. The development of the prototype professional player was carried out by the joint venture with Kyocera, and the participation of Yamaha and the major record company Pony-Canyon (which has since forged an alliance with Virgin) in Japan Interactive Media was intended to compensate for the relative weakness of PolyGram in Japan compared to its position in Europe and the US. Studer AG is a major supplier of professional studio equipment — including CD-Audio players for broadcasting companies — and the joint venture was formed to produce hardware for CD-i studios.
Sun Microsystems were chosen as a partner for the development of multimedia workstations because of their technological strength in high-speed microprocessor applications. Philips-Dupont Optical took over from Philips the management of its CD pressing facilities in Europe and the US. Finally the joint venture with Control Data Corporation gave Philips access to expertise in systems software. The issue of inter-firm collaboration has become even more critical as delays occurred in the development timetable, and Philips needed to establish a credible programme for introducing the technology in the face of the competitive threat from DVI. After Intel acquired the rights to DVI from RCA's parent company, General Electric, the prospect of collaboration between Intel, Microsoft and IBM became a major threat, especially after Intel announced its intention to enter the consumer market. It became important to extend the development coalition beyond the Philips/Sony axis, since the recruitment of additional Green Book licensees, whilst welcome, did not represent a major commitment of resources.
In 1989 Matsushita announced its participation in with Philips in developing FMV for CD-i, and Motorola — the manufacturer of the 68000 microprocessor at the heart of the CD-i system — was chosen to make the VLSI chips for FMV. The addition of these major partners, especially Matsushita — the world's largest consumer electronics manufacturer — was claimed by Philips as a major strategic advantage in its competition with rival technologies. Apart from NEC and Hitachi, all the other major Japanese consumer electronics companies were known to have developed CD-i players. At one time it seemed that the two outsiders to the CD-i 'family' would be persuaded to join the rival Intel-IBM-Microsoft grouping, but the latter never materialised, and Microsoft joined Tandy in developing VIS as a rival home interactive multimedia technology.

Radio: 1240 AM
Records: Menendez (1-2); Middleburg (1-2)
Last week: Menendez d. Matanzas 27-23; Middleburg d. Leon 16-8
Players to watch: Menendez, QB Stefan Carter, jr. (4 TDs); RB Trevon Bryant, sr. (267 rushing yards, TD); WR Tityus Mitchell, sr. (2 TDs); DB Tyron Gilyard, sr. (3 INTs); Middleburg, UTIL Austin Waldron, sr. (165 rushing yards last week); UTIL Marques Payne (3 sacks last week)
Glance: On paper, the Falcons should be in good shape. Nease beat Middleburg this season without actually completing a pass. A collection of tailbacks, mainly Jared Bassett and Ulysses Bryant, had no trouble picking their way through Middeburg's defense - a unit that was very poor last season. The Broncos are decent on offense and could pose some threat there. In last season's game, the Falcons trailed 21-10 at halftime before reeling off 28 unanswered points to win 38-21. While that was a Middleburg team depleted by suspensions, this is a much better Menendez squad as well. The Falcons' strength so far has been their defense. Still, expect Trevon Bryant, Tityus Mitchell and Stefan Carter to put up solid numbers as Menendez aims for its second win.

Frederick A. Murphy and Thomas G. Ksiazek, both professors at the University of Texas Medical Branch, have been recognized by global experts who study the deadliest infectious diseases with a Lifetime Achievement Award, at the 6th annual International Symposium on Filoviruses. The filoviruses include Ebola and Marburg viruses, both of which cause death in 50 to 90 percent of people infected. The current outbreak of Ebola virus raging in West Africa has led to more than 100 deaths so far this year.
James LeDuc, director of the Galveston National Laboratory at UTMB, the only fully operational Biosafety Level 4 laboratory on an academic campus in the United States, noted that the award represents the "culmination of a lifetime of scientific discovery and leadership in addressing one of the most challenging emerging diseases of our time."
Dr. Murphy, a professor of pathology and a member of the Institute for Human Infections and Immunity at the Center for Biodefense and Emerging infectious Diseases, the Galveston National Laboratory, and the McLaughlin Endowment for Infection and Immunity, were the co-discoverers of this group of deadly viruses, and prepared the first electron micrograph showing the curled thread-like image of the virus particles that characterize the filoviruses.
Ksiazek, director of high containment operations for the Galveston National Laboratory, has personally led the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's on-site response to virtually every Ebola or Marburg outbreak that has occurred in Africa since the 1995 Kikwit outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Together, they provided critical insights about the viruses and how to control the devastating outbreaks that they cause.
Prior to Murphy's arrival at UTMB, in 2005, he served in a number of prominent positions at the CDC, concluding his career as director of the National Center for Infectious Diseases. One of his unique contributions to infectious disease research and public awareness are a series of images of deadly viruses such as Ebola and Marburg, taken at the cellular level using electron microscopy.
Ksiazek also directs the National Biodefense Training Center, which provides researchers in the United States and around the world with the skills necessary to work safely with deadly pathogens in high-containment laboratories. Before he came to UTMB, in 2008, he was chief of the Special Pathogens Branch at the CDC, where he coordinated outbreak and control responses to especially dangerous pathogens such as Ebola, Marburg, Rift Valley fever, Nipah and SARS viruses. Ksiazek has been extensively involved for decades in outbreak response and pathogen discovery, such as the reemergence of H1N1 in 1977 in Asia and the Hantavirus Pulmonary syndrome and Sin Nombre virus in 1993 in the U.S. Southwest, for which he received a national service award for his work from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. He is also co-discoverer of the SARS virus.
Since 2000, the International Symposium on Filoviruses has periodically brought together experts from around the world to discuss advances in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control of Ebola and Marburg viruses. Filoviruses are transmitted by close contact between infected patients and caregivers. Health care workers are frequently the ones at greatest risk of infection, since they often start in rural hospitals or clinics, and many doctors and nurses treating these patients have themselves succumbed to these deadly viruses. Outbreaks are controlled through strict isolation of patients. There is no effective treatment or vaccine to prevent infection.
UTMB researchers, however, are working to develop and test new vaccines and broad spectrum treatments of these highly lethal hemorrhagic fever viruses. Thomas Geisbert, a professor in UTMB's Department of Microbiology and Immunology and a member of the Institute for Human Infections and Immunity and Galveston National Laboratory, recently received a $26 million collaborative Center of Excellence for Translational Research grant supported by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, part of the National Institutes of Health, to further this research.
Geisbert will collaborate with John H. Eldridge of Profectus Biosciences, Ian MacLachlan of Tekmira Pharmaceuticals Corporation, James E. Crowe Jr. of Vanderbilt University Medical Center and Alexander Bukreyev of UTMB.

Police: Sister killed as 8-year-old boy drove car
PHOENIX (AP) — Half an hour after putting her two children to bed, a Phoenix mother discovered they were gone. Frantic and fearful they had been kidnapped, she called police, who spotted her car near her apartment and tried to pull it over.
After it swerved and crashed into a pole, police discovered the driver was the woman's 8-year-old son, and her 6-year-old daughter was a front-seat passenger.
The girl died Thursday of injuries suffered in Wednesday night's crash, while her brother suffered an ankle injury that didn't appear serious, police said.
Police identified the girl as Aaliyah Felder. They said her seatbelt wasn't fastened and the air bag in front of her didn't deploy.
Police did not release the names of the 24-year-old mother or her son.
Sgt. Steve Martos said police did not know some details about what happened, including what prompted the children to go on the drive and how they got the car keys.
Police have not spoken to the boy at length so they don't know why he was out driving the family car.
"There's really no criminal element to any of it," Martos said. "From mom's standpoint, there's nothing to indicate any neglect or abuse. From the kid's point, he's 8 years old so his mental state is not culpable."
After the crash, two patrol officers ran up to the crashed car, "thinking it's a kidnap, that there's a bad guy in there," Martos said.
Instead, they found the children in their pajamas and the girl seriously injured.
The crash occurred only a block from the apartment complex where the family lived, and the mother ran over after seeing the police activity.
She was visibly distraught after discovering the car and children belonged to her, according to Martos. "It was a horrible and tragic moment for her," he said.
At the accident scene Thursday, someone had tied two stuffed animals and a pink balloon that said "Princess" to a tree next to the wooden pole struck by the car, a 2010 Hyundai Elantra.
Scattered on the ground were parts of its bumper, the chrome "H″ emblem from its grille, and medical packaging next to a pink shirt that appeared to have been cut off the girl by rescue workers.
Neighbor Elizabeth Marks outlined a sunburst and wrote "May she rest peacefully, God Bless," on a street-facing window screen using colored chalk.
Marks said she knew the family only in passing but said the mother was friendly.
"I'd always see her giving rides to the neighbors," Marks said. "The whole family is nice."
Martos said the mother had bathed the children and put them to bed at 9:30 p.m., then went to bed herself at 10 p.m., only to get up a short time later and find them missing, with the front door open and her car gone.
She knocked on doors in the neighborhood and called police.
Just minutes earlier, police received at least two 911 calls from people who reported seeing the car being driven in the area.
One of the callers said the car had struck a fence before being driven off. Another caller said it appeared the car was being driven by a child.
Two responding patrol officers spotted the vehicle, and it crashed "almost instantly" after police turned on their emergency lights, Martos said. The police cars did not have their sirens on, he said. It's not known how fast the boy was driving.
From what police have pieced together, it appeared the children drove south about 3 miles from their home and then backtracked, Martos said.
Martos said there was no immediate indication that the officers did anything wrong.
Associated Press writer Bob Christie contributed to this report.

AUBURN – After a national search, Auburn University President Jay Gogue has announced that Ainsley Carry has been named Vice President for Student Affairs. Carry comes to Auburn from Temple University, where he served as associate vice president for student affairs and dean of students.
"We are excited to welcome Dr. Carry to the Auburn family as he brings with him a demonstrated passion for working with students and student programs as well as developing student leaders," said Auburn University President Jay Gogue. "His tenure as an administrator at other Southeastern Conference institutions combined with his experience in the area of strategic planning will prove invaluable for leading Auburn's division of student affairs."
Carry, who will begin his new position June 15, has an extensive background in student affairs and is a strong advocate for student leadership and personal development.
At Temple, Carry provided leadership and supervision for 10 departments within the division of student affairs, including university housing, campus recreation, student activities, career development services, judicial affairs, orientation, leadership programs, student center and student media.
"The two things that impressed me most about Auburn are the highly engaged, involved student body, and top level leadership that is academically focused and committed," Carry said. "There is obviously a real passion felt for the university here; even the Auburn Creed speaks to me, signifying as it does a very special place."
Originally from the southeast, Carry considers himself a "product of the SEC," having gained experience at the University of Florida and the University of Arkansas. "This is a homecoming for my family and me," he said.
Carry holds a bachelor's degree in food and resource economics, a master's in counselor education and a doctorate in higher education administration, all from the University of Florida. He will receive an executive master's in business administration from Temple University in 2010. With 17 years experience as a college administrator, Carry has held positions at Southern Methodist University, the University of Arkansas, the University of Florida and Temple University.
As Auburn's Vice President for Student Affairs, Carry will be responsible for the formulation, development, management and delivery of services and programs to enhance the academic, physical and social welfare for the entire university student population. In addition, he will be charged with fostering student learning in all dimensions of student life and maintaining a strong commitment to a student-centered philosophy.
He will oversee the office of the dean of students, student government, student publications and media, career development services, campus recreation and sports, student organizations, greek life, international student life, judicial affairs, student residence life, student orientation and retention, the parents' association, student community services, the student recreation center, the university student center, auburn university medical clinic and the student leadership institute.
In addition to his experience as an administrator, Carry has also served as a leadership educator, consultant and strategic planner. He has often given the keynote address at student leadership conferences and has consulted with colleges and universities on strategies for building leadership programs and strategic plans. He has served as a lead facilitator for the NCAA Student Athlete Leadership Conference and the LeaderShape Institute.
He has been involved with several professional organizations including the American College Personnel Association and the Southwest Association of Student Assistant Programs. He served as national chair for the Knowledge Community for Student Leadership Programs and he is currently a board of trustee member for LeaderShape, Inc., a national non-profit organization that equips young adults to become extraordinary leaders.
Carry and his wife, Jessica, have a two-year-old daughter, Aliyah.

Well Friday I risked life, limb, and warranty by using them in the winter:
It was slow going at first and I was about to turn back, but eventually I got a little rhythm going and made it to the city line:
Emboldened, I pressed on, where footprints indicated only a few intrepid souls had ventured here before me:
And ultimately made it to this mighty waterfall, located far, far upstate in a quaint little rural enclave called "Yonkers:"
Then I cut a hole in the ice, fished for my dinner, spent the night under a bivouac, and undertook the roughly three-mile return trip the next morning.
In all, the entire ride was a little over six miles, and I was gone for a mere fourteen (14) days.
Meanwhile, remember awhile back I mentioned this building?
Well, when I did a reader who is involved with it was kind enough to send me some passes to the Sugar Hill Children's Museum of Art and Storytelling, which is located therein:
I'm pleased to report we marched all seventeen (17) children onto the subway this past weekend for a visit, and it was great. If you too are the parent of small human children in this city I should not have to tell you the importance of indoor activities located close to subway stations (especially in winter), and as such I would strongly recommend that you add this wonderful institution to your inventory of weekend activities. (You can read more on my other blog, Parenting Snob NYC.)
Who says bike blogging doesn't pay?
Indeed, later in the day I was still brimming with good cheer, and so I headed back out for an afternoon ride. I didn't feel like trudging through the snow again, and you never know what road conditions are going to be like outside of the city after a snowstorm, so instead of riding north I headed down to Central Park for a leisurely spin. The streets were perfectly passable, but of course the shoulders and bike lanes were clear in some places and a mess in others:
I was in no particular hurry, nor was I particularly eager to slip and fall in a puddle of slush, so I rode slowly and savored the brief respite from the twin tumults of weather and parenthood. Heading south on St. Nicholas, I turned left onto W. 120th Street, from whence I intended to make a right onto Adam Clayton Powell, which would then deposit me right into the park:
Anyway, there I was heading east on 120th. Traffic ahead of me was moving slowly due to a double-parked vehicle (shocker!) and the cars were shifted over to the left. As I mentioned, I was in no particular hurry, and the road shoulders were variably messy. It's also a short block owing to the fact that St. Nicholas cuts across it diagonally, so I made no attempt to pass anybody and instead took my place in the traffic queue in anticipation of making the right.
Meanwhile, the driver behind me starts honking. I can't see any reason he'd be honking at me, since there are cars up ahead of me and I'm certainly not holding him up in any way. So I figure he's just one of these assholes who honks whenever traffic's not moving as quickly as he'd like, which a lot of idiots do when driving in the city.
I'm still blissed out from the familial activities earlier in the day, and I'm also still really happy to be out on my bike on a Saturday afternoon, and so I choose to ignore this minor blemish on an otherwise lovely day.
Unfortunately, as I make the right onto Adam Clayton Powell, the honking driver pulls up to me and starts berating me for not riding in the bike lane. He's very insistent. I have to ride in the bike lane.
So let's look at W. 120th Street between St. Nicholas and Adam Clayton Powell:
There is indeed a bike lane on the left side of it. However:
1) I'm preparing to make a right;
2) The road shoulders are slushy;
3) Traffic is shifted over to the left due to a double-parked car, just like in the streetview, so you wouldn't know there's a bike lane anyway:
In fact the streetview scenario is pretty much the same scenario as when I was there, with the addition of the slush, and so I was positioned accordingly, directly following the vehicles ahead of me:
And once again, I'm moving at the same speed of the rest of the traffic, so you can't even say I'm holding anybody up.
Given all of this I have no obligation to be in the bike lane. First of all, there's snow in it. Sure, it's not an Obama 2009 amount of snow:
More like a Trump 2017 smattering:
So it's patchy and intermittent, but it's there.
And even if there had been no snow and instead puffs of pink clouds in the bike lane spelling out "Ride me!," I'm preparing for a turn at an intersection, so given all of these factors there's no reason for me to be in the bike lane according to state law:
Whenever a usable path or lane for bicycles has been provided, bicycle riders shall use such path or lane only except under any of the following situations: (i) When preparing for a turn at an intersection or into a private road or driveway. (ii) When reasonably necessary to avoid conditions (including but not limited to, fixed or moving objects, motor vehicles, bicycles, pedestrians, pushcarts, animals, surface hazards) that make it unsafe to continue within such bicycle path or lane.
In short, there's absolutely no fucking reason, legal or practical, for me to be in that goddamn bike lane.
Yet here's some asshole in a 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe with New Jersey plates (the special ones with the lighthouse on them he probably paid extra for) not only honking at me but also telling me off for not riding in it. Furthermore, this dimwitted shitbag has the audacity to tell me that I need to learn how to ride a bike, and that he rides everywhere, all the time. From the driver's seat of a fucking Hyundai he says this.
Holy motherfucking shit.
I actually took video of the ensuing interaction and was looking forward to posting it today, but having cooled down over the past couple of days I've decided it would do a disservice to my valuable brand to appear on the Internet looking any way other than utterly composed. So I've shelved it.
Righteous indignity, however warranted, is never a good look.
Nevertheless, I remain stunned by this fuckwit's audacity. I'm Wildcat Rock Machine, dammit! I make it my business to know where I can and can't be when I'm on my bike. And this guy's gonna drive his Hyundai shitbox into my town and start fucking with me on a Saturday afternoon? What goes through his head as he drives? "Here's a guy on a bike. He isn't holding me up or anything, but he's not in a bike lane! I, on the other hand, ride my beach cruiser on the boardwalk in Jersey sometimes. So I think I'll rub my dick and balls all over his face."
I am of course an inveterate "woosie" who would never embroil himself in a physical altercation, but if this guy usually behaves this way I can't believe he doesn't get u-locks put through his windshield on a regular basis.
Here's a related question: this is not the first time I've told a person with New Jersey plates to "Go back to Jersey," nor is it the first time they've replied with "I don't live in Jersey." Why is this? Surely there must be people who actually live in Jersey. Are they all committing insurance fraud, or are they just embarrassed? Or is it some combination of the two?
In any case, when you use a Citi Bike you have to agree to terms of use, and I think the same thing should apply when you drive a car into Manhattan. Oh, sure, in theory there are laws you're supposed to follow, but we all know how that goes. So I think in order to operate a motor vehicle in Manhattan every driver should agree to the following:
I hereby acknowledge the following;
1) I am choosing to drive a large heavy motorized box into the most densely populated county in the United States;
2) This choice endangers people's lives;
3) This county has an extensive public transit network and is well-served by taxis, livery, ride-hailing apps, as well as a comprehensive bike share program;
4) While I may get lucky, neither deity nor US Constitution entitles me to immunity from traffic delays, nor does it guarantee me the right to store my large heavy motorized box anywhere for free;
5) Bike lanes do not cause traffic congestion. My large heavy motorized box, however, does;
6) I understand that people actually live in Manhattan as well as the rest of New York City. It is not a theme park or a sitcom. Therefore, any expectation that my car is the "It's a Small World" ride or that my windshield is a TV screen across which life will unfold according to my own whims or expectations is pathologically unreasonable;
a. Should I forget the above and elect to communicate my displeasure to any other road user by means of car horn or verbal haranguing, I acknowledge that I or my personal property may be subject to physical damage;
b. In the event of such damage, I shall not hold the other party responsible, nor shall I be entitled to any claims of loss, damage, or legal liability for anything that happens to me as a result of my being a complete douchebag;
7) If I don't like any of the above, I can feel free to shove a Bruce Springsteen box set up my ass.
I think this would go a long way towards obviating a lot of potential misunderstandings.
Anyway, apart from my exchange with Captain Fucknuts in the Hyundai, the rest of the ride was lovely.
Lastly, here you go:
You're welcome.Transition practice not always turning out the way you want it to, a good recovery by @Tri_Orca on TDC camp! :-) pic.twitter.com/0Pj0I9fqjr— TEAMDILLON (@Teamdillon) February 10, 2017

Posted by Editoress on 12/6/09
On Friday (December 4th), Rob Good from the Forest City Velodrome (London, ON), with Jessica Duarte and Sean Scott from the McQuesten Community Centre in Hamilton, gave five kids from the MCC YOUth Create program a world class experience by teaching them to ride the only indoor velodrome in Ontario. This is an opportunity that many young people living in Hamilton could never hope to realize. Juan, Raymond, Amadu, Preston, and Rickey live in one of Hamilton's most disadvantaged neighbourhoods. Friday, they proved that when you have world class expectations of people you will get world class results!
Sean Scott is the program co-ordinator for the YOUth Create program at the McQuesten Community Centre, located near Barton and Parkdale in Hamilton. "These kids do not have a lot, but what they lack most are opportunities. Jess and I provide those opportunities," says Scott, a two time national time trial champion and a level three certified cycling coach. Duarte and Scott are part of a team of staff and volunteers who are rallying the community's assets (residents, faith groups, agencies, businesses, government supports) to strengthen the fabric of the neighbourhood.
Each of these kids were handpicked for this trip because of their hard work and commitment to participating in the YOUth Create program every day after school and to getting fit enough to ride the track. "I mean, they were pudgy little dumplings when we started nine weeks ago; now these kids are tough as nails. "When I planned the trip to the velodrome I had serious doubts about whether they would be able to go fast enough to stay up on the boards. I am delighted to report that they proved me wrong!"
As for the velodrome experience, Rob is first rate at working with kids so they were in great hands the whole day. In two hours, these kids went from barely knowing how to ride, to completing five to six laps between the red and black lines with confidence. "They want to race and have asked me if we can start riding during our program time after school to get fitter!" says Scott with a huge grin. Rob extended an invitation for all of the kids to come back on Saturdays to participate in the FCV Velo-Kids program. Duarte, who in June of this year coordinated a playground build in the McQuesten neighbourhood, says her new project is finding volunteers to take the McQuesten kids to London on Saturdays.
"Our big challenge with kids in the McQuesten neighbourhood is establishing trust with them and getting them to commit. Commitment is a new concept for many of the young people we serve," says Scott. "They have been burned - a lot. So when I say we're doing something, there is zero margin for error." We are undertaking world class things at McQuesten and these kids are rising to meet the challenge. They are starting to believe in themselves and that's huge!"
The YOUth Create program is an after school program run by HARRRP, an outreach project of Christ's Church Cathedral, at the Jamesville and McQuesten Community Centres and Sanford Avenue School in the lower City of Hamilton. The program is funded by the Ministry of Health Promotion, the Hamilton Community Foundation, the United Way, and the City of Hamilton). The focus is on fitness, nutrition, health, well-being and the arts.
The Forest City Velodrome is one of two indoor velodromes in all of Canada. If you want to learn more about FCV and their amazing programs please visit their website: www.forestcityvelodrome.ca. It is exciting to anticipate the creation of a third Canadian velodrome facility right here in Hamilton in time for the 2015 Pan Am Games.
"Like, I thought it was really, really fun and like I would love to go again because it was so much fun. It would be great to go with my friends. I really liked riding the track bike even though my legs are tired and sore today."
Preston Brown. Grade 7
"That was one of the coolest things I have ever done in my life. I cannot believe how much fun it was. We all want to go again."
Amadou Drome. Grade 7
"I am really glad we went because Rob gave us new bike helmets and I think next time it will be more fun because we will know what we are doing."
Raymond Smith. Grade 6
"Very good. I really liked riding around the track. I like going fast. The drills were okay but once we got to ride it was really fun. I want to ride on the yellow line next time!"
Rickey Camara. Grade 5
"I knew it was going to be fun but I did not think it would be that intense. I am definitely going back."
Juan Lopera. Grade 7

Hey guys,
In window manager tweaks theres a slider that allows you to make windows transparent when they are moving, resizing, etc. After setting the slider to about halfway everything works as it should, until I reboot the effect is lost but I go back into the tweaks settings and the sliders are where I left them but not functioning. I looked at the FAQ and tried the Visual Appearance; Windows "How do I enable panel transparency and window shadows?" section to no avail. Any ideas as to what it could be?
Thanks in advance
It's happening to me since I updated to 4.10, it's most likely a bug. I filed it but so far nobody paid attention to it. This is the bug I filed:
Grumble rumble mumble foooey.... Allright, I asked in the Manjaro forums and at least one guy had the same problem... Apparently it's not that popular of a feature...
Works perfectly here, (Fedora 19 with Xfce 4.10) maybe the Window Manager has crashed. Try running xfwm4 and see if it starts working.
