The fund has a nice brand, but as many of the reviews say these guys have a poor operational culture. I feel bad for their LPs.
These things about not showing up for meetings, arrogance, and ignorance are all true. I've met with Ryan Moore who is wholly unimpressive....
There are much better options around... Don't believe the hype.PRIVATE: Members Only
Peter Shannon Great Experience

Posted by XSReturns on 2009-02-14
Peter is a fantastic guy to connect with. He spent over two hours with me the first time we met; listening (!), discussing our space, our business and giving thoughtful feedback. He did not hesitate to make introductions in his network and followed through on everything he said. Just one of those guys you want to build a relationship with regardless of whether you close a round with Atlas or not.PRIVATE: Members Only

We have had a great relationship with Atlas Ventures' Boston office. In particular, Healy Jones, a recent associate from The Wharton School, has served as a great mentor to our startup. The Atlas team is very knowledgeable about the consumer Internet space and they took the time to understand our business and continue to make relevant introductions. I would highly recommend entrepreneurs, who have the opportunity, to meet with Atlas.PRIVATE: Members Only

Posted by Euroman on 2008-08-25
Atlas remain one of the few Europe based VCs doing early stage biotech but this is very limited. Like most they have retreated e.g. spin-outs from pharma companies and later stage investments. They clearly work hard but are prone to being late and for a number of people not turning up. They use pitches as market research for some of their portfolio companies and ideas, make sure you have done your groundwork.PRIVATE: Members Only (794 Characters)

We raised over £3m from Atlas in London in a previous business. Our particular contact, Vic Morris, was terrific. Very astute and supportive. Unfortunately after the dot.com crash of 2000 they lost interest in us and were out foxed by a trade investor who moved the company to dependence, worked on the board and chairman, ousted the founders (inc. me!) and then bought the company at a knock-down valuation.PRIVATE: Members Only (165 Characters)
Great Fund, Several Stars
Fund: Atlas Venture
Posted by cereal on 2008-01-17
I give Atlas high marks, not because they have funded some great companies I know (including one of mine), but because I have seen their team execute before, during, and after the deal.
Atlas has some great hardworking partners, and I can personally recommend Axel Bichara, Eric Jerpe, and Jeff Fagnan. But honestly, the entire team (I don't know about the biotech folks at all) has helped us at some point.
I have relied on the team and my Atlas investors for crucially important advice and support. It doesn't come up that often, but when we really need to execute an op at warp speed, they really mobilize each and every time.
The most important contribution, in my opinion, has been help in recruiting top talent. Like any startup, we grow in bursts, and we need top talent, and we need to move quickly. These guys really scramble then. Excellent. There are several positions we filled, where Atlas guys made the difference - totally sealing the deal. Some key hires took months, and I know some Atlas partners who have phenomenal endurance. Jeff Fagnan could push a car up a mountain. My team has to work hard, so I like to see investors who do too.
Inside Atlas are some partners investing aggressively in wild, early-stage plays. It seems like they are funding really interesting deals these days. I recommend snooping around the partner directory, or asking around, as some of the partners are doing very early-stage deals in interesting spaces. Atlas is a big firm, so it is important to get a partner who is a good fit for you and your company.
I have watched Atlas drive several great deals to exit with some companies I know (and with founders I know). And they worked with the founders on those to make sure they were happy with the timing and the structure. They work with me and my founders (and our CEO), to make sure we stay happy too.
Oh and I can always get a hold of them instantly and they are on time (early actually) for our meetings. So I don't know what that other post was about.
Diligence took a while, but we were a radical company raising a Round A in a tough economy. Deal terms were tough but fair. The negotiation process went fine. We had a term sheet for higher valuation and better terms, but the Atlas team more than made up for a slightly lower valuation. In hind sight, a no brainer win for us.
Two thumbs up. I would work with Atlas again (and again).PRIVATE: Members Only (1106 Characters)

We are a pre-launch company and I must say that I have got a very good experience with Atlas Ventures France/UK and especially with Fred Destin, a very smart, experienced, well connected, entrepreneur minded Atlas partner working on disruptive projects.
He has been working with us hand in hand not only to give feedback and expand our vision but also to build and rehearse our pitch on a regular basis. He is too busy to do that with many companies, so many thanks and kuddos to him.
We are still too early for them but they keep the communication channel open. I can't thank enough Fred and Atlas for their great contribution and the air support introduction to key people who could help our project to evolve in the right direction. If you are based in Europe, he is definitely someone you should meet if you work on a disruptive global playPRIVATE: Members Only

A successful partnership with any VC comes down to the same basic things; being able to get on really well with the people you're dealing with and continuing to do so when things get tough. Apart from the obvious point of 'chemistry' which is a very personal thing, perhaps the biggest element to ensure success on these two factors is the intelligence of the partners assigned to you.

From a former CEO of an Atlas Company
Fund: Atlas Venture
Posted by Chairman & CEO on 2007-08-20
Working with the partners at Atlas Ventures London was a pure pleasure across many dimensions. The team offered consistent support and solid business advise throughout my tenure.
At the Board level, Atlas helped establish strong governance procedures, fair and balanced compensation guidelines, drove several key relationships, catalyzed our sales model, and helped sooth rather strained Board dynamics. They are very well connected and quite market savvy. As a shareholder, Atlas was very reasonable, rational, and responsive.
Large and in part due to their support and wherewithal, the company successfully restructured and exited to everyone's benefit. Atlas was there though the thick and thin, which is something every entrepreneur needs to consider at length when selecting funding sources. Markets will always have ups and downs - having a sophisticated and experienced venture partner can make a huge difference in the end result.
I highly recommend working with Atlas to any entrepreneur.PRIVATE: Members Only
Not Very Impressive: Chaotic Pitch
Fund: Atlas Venture
Posted by anonymous on 2007-08-16
We already had backing from one of the top VCs around and went to Atlas to try to syndicate the next round. I had never pitched to a more chaotic group - kept on cutting in with pet questions which were irrelevant to the topic being presented - i found this to be rude/arrogant. Had to interface with some junior folks on day to day level - some of whom have limited real business experience (but have textbook knowledge) and therefore didn't find the discussions with them to be particularly stimulating and made it a bit difficult to get excited about their real value add. Decided that they weren't really right for us after the pitch.PRIVATE: Members Only
French Snobs

Posted by robitussin on 2007-05-12
They reached out to us and invited us to come in and pitch. In each of three meetings in SF they were either late or didn't show up at all, were rude and constantly interrupted our presentations, and just flat out had no respect for our industry expertise or our time. In contrast to every other VC their behavior was flatly unprofessional. It is no wonder they don't get in on many of the good deals, at least in the US. It's one thing to be arrogant, it's another thing to have fervent opinions in a space in which they have absolutely no authority. Complete waste of time. We finally killed the due diligence because we couldn't imagine any of these guys as productive board members should they actually invest.PRIVATE: Members Only

The Deal
- $25 for $120 toward hairstyling tools and products
- See the online inventory
- NuMe brand known for original curling wand designs for lasting curls
- Hair dryers and tools for all hair types
- 100% ceramic curling wands with temperature control
- Winner of two 2013 SheKnows Beauty Awards
- Not valid for hair care, feather extensions, accessories or any other catalogs, special offers or promotions
NuMe's trademark curling wands and flat irons set themselves apart with a suite of innovative technologies. Solid-ceramic plates infused with crushed tourmaline produce a field of negative ions, counteracting the positive ions that produce static electricity and dry, unruly locks. The plates' floating design keeps them in full contact with hair during every shift of the hand to prevent awkward creases. Other features are professional-grade refinements on classic equipment: a 360-degree swiveling cord helps avoid tangles for people who like a lot of spinning around in their morning routine; powerful but nonburning infrared-heating elements take just 6–10 seconds to fully warm up; and an ultra-precise control switch allows for temperatures ranging from 140 to 450 degrees.
More than a decade of research and development has gone into these formulas and inventions, but the stylists behind them know that their true test is in the transition between the lab and the bathroom mirror. Accordingly, they keep a YouTube channel populated with reviews, tutorials, and styling tips to help create long-lasting curls or sleekness.

Every article on quantum gravity begins the same way. On the one hand we have quantum mechanics—excellent at describing the very small and intrinsic lumpiness of the universe—and on the other hand we have general relativity—excellent at describing gravity, but it relies on a smooth universe. At some point the two meet, and just like Manchester United supporters and Liverpool fans, they just don't get along. Luckily for the universe, tire irons haven't been deployed to settle this incompatibility.
A pair of unrelated papers, which appeared in Physical Review Letters, and a News and Views article in Nature Physics all indicate that progress is occurring, but it is coming at the expense of a long-cherished tenet of physics, called the Lorentz Invariance.
Progress in uniting quantum mechanics with general relativity has typically proceeded along two lines. Option one is to generate seemingly outlandish ideas, such as string theory, loop quantum gravity, and their brethren, which resolve the problem by positing the existence of things as yet unobserved. The more sedate approach is the rapid-fire production of grand unified theories, which are neither "grand" nor "unified" and, completing the trifecta, may not warrant the moniker "theory" either, since they simply don't work.
Until recently, the general consensus was that string theory was the great hope, but physicists have been rocked by the discovery that string theory still requires a bunch of fine-tuned values to get to the universe we observe.
This depressing state of affairs has led to reappearance of the anthropic principle, which, while being very deep and meaningful, also finds itself in the embarrassing position of stating the bleeding obvious. Which leads us nicely to a paper by one Petr Ho?ava, brought to my attention and nicely explained in the Nature Physics News and Views article. Ho?ava takes advantage of a recent finding that, in quantum mechanics, the universe behaves as if it has four dimensions at larger scales, but this can be reduced to two dimensions as the scale is reduced. This implies that space and time may be fractal in nature—not a new idea, but it's always nice to have evidence to support the idea.
To summarize the reduction procedure, space and time are treated separately, which would normally cause all sorts of problems in quantum mechanics. However, by treating space and time differently as well as separately, the infinities in the quantum mechanics equations vanish, and gravity behaves as it should.
Interestingly, space remains the same in all directions, while time does not. This appeals to me, because it points to fabric of the universe supplying time with a preferred direction. One of the downsides, though, is the failure of Lorentz invariance.
To understand why physicists might be loath to give up Lorentz invariance, let's take a quick look at it. A key idea, going way back to Galileo is that all accurate observations are equally valid and must agree. A simple example of this is cars on a motorway. I am cruising along at 120km/h but, to me, my car appears to be standing still. An overtaking car appears to me to be traveling at 20km/h, while a person on the side of the road will see speeds of 120km/h and 140km/h. Now, although we all disagree on the speed of each car, we can, given some information, understand each other's results and reach an agreement. These sorts of transformations, based on Lorentz invariance, are a key part of physics and are founded on a certain conception of space and time.
Ho?ava's work is pretty exciting, and has been followed by a paper from Daniela Klammer and Harold Steinacker, which proceeds in a similar vein. In their work, Klammer and Steinacker posit that space and time do not commute, which is a more sophisticated version of space being the same in every direction, while time is not.
They show that this sort of universe would naturally have an early inflationary period, and that the universe slips out of inflation nicely into the universe we observe. Furthermore, unlike other explanations of the universe's previous and current epochs of inflation, no additional fields are required—inflation falls out naturally as a consequence of the geometry. The final win is only mentioned in passing: the stability of the mathematics depends on the existence of vacuum fluctuations, which are the signature of quantum mechanics.
Now, I must admit that these papers are nigh on unreadable to us plebs—the second paper is much easier than the first, though—and I cannot speak with any sort of authority on this. But it appears to me that the two approaches are fairly similar and may even be compatible with each other. If this is the case, we may find that quantum mechanics, gravity, and inflation end up sharing a house and supporting the same football teams. In doing so, we will be eliminating at least one troublesome finely tuned constant and the anthropic principle would resume its rightful place as a forgotten statement of the bleeding obvious.

ABC News's "What Would You Do?" series recently conducted a series of experiments testing the bystander effect.
* * *
* * *
Most readers of The Situationist have likely seen the grainy video of Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax's final moments on a street in Jamaica, Queens. He was stabbed while saving a woman from a knife-wielding attacker and fell to the sidewalk, where he lay dying in a pool of his own blood for more than an hour while dozens of pedestrians passed by without calling for help.
A.G. Sulzberger and Mick Meenan wrote an excellent piece, titled "Questions Surround a Delay in Help for a Dying Man" last week in The New York Times. The article quotes Situationist Contributor John Darley whose now classic research on the bystander effects which, unfortunately, remains as relevant today as ever. Here are some excerpts.
* * *
It will probably never be clear how many people realized that Hugo Alfredo Tale-Yax was dying.
One man bent down to the sidewalk to shake the man, lifting him to reveal a pool of blood before walking away. Two men appeared to have a conversation about the situation, one pausing to take a photo of the body before departing. But the rest merely turned their heads toward the body, revealing some curiosity as they hurried along.
* * *
On Sunday, a week after the killing, people in the area seemed mostly unshaken by its circumstances. Many were unaware that someone had died on 144th Street in Jamaica, near 88th Road, in a hardscrabble neighborhood with large populations of Central American immigrants and of homeless men.
But to the question of obligation — whether those who encountered the body should have stopped and helped the man — the answers came quickly.
Perhaps the passers-by thought he was just drunk. Perhaps they were illegal immigrants themselves, too nervous to contact the authorities. Or perhaps they had just learned a lesson that Mr. Tale-Yax so clearly had not: better to keep to oneself than to risk the trouble that comes from extending a helping hand.
"It's bad," said Alexis Perez, 29, the superintendent of two buildings on the block where the stabbing occurred. "But I live here, so I know what it's like. There are a lot of alcoholics who drink and then they fall down and they're laying on the ground. People say to themselves, 'I don't know them so I won't get involved.' "
At the Iglesia Cristo Peniel, a small brick assembly hall bursting with Spanish hymns, Uber Bautista, 37, a heavy-machinery operator who identified himself as a church elder, said that he believed the inaction might have stemmed from illegal immigrants' trying to escape detection.
"So they're going to be very afraid to call the authorities if they see something," he said. "It's not that people don't care."
Juan Cortez, himself the victim of several assaults, offered another theory as he collected cans from the trash nearby. "People mind their own business," he said.
Regardless of the explanation, the death has become another unfortunate case study in bystander behavior in emergencies, a psychological field that developed after the notorious 1964 killing of Kitty Genovese. She was stabbed to death at an apartment building in Kew Gardens, Queens, where a large number of neighbors heard her screams but did not call the police.
The death of Mr. Tale-Yax is all the more dramatic because police say that he was stabbed as a result of his apparently trying to help a stranger.
"I'm afraid what we've got here is a situation of people failing to help, and the failure appears to be a moral failure," said John Darley, a professor of psychology at Princeton University who has written about bystander response to emergencies. "He did what you're supposed to do, and we let the person, who did what he was supposed to do, die."

Bicycles, Trainer Bikes & Indoor Trainers
Clothing, Footwear, Helmets & Protective Equipment
These items are subject to our policies above, with special consideration for fit. A lot of our brands offer comfort guarantees. Bicicletta and our brands are selective when it comes to utilizing these warranties as it means the product you return will be destroyed. If you're at all unsure of how an item fits, or if sizing is confusing, please reach out to Rider Support. We can help guide you through choosing a size and make alternative considerations to help make sure there are no regrets. If you need to order two sizes of a product to try them out, it's totally okay to return what doesn't fit. However, potential abuse of this policy will be monitored. Ordering many pairs of shoes to try them all on is wasteful, so let's not do that. Instead, chat with us beforehand to find the best fit.
It's hard to find the right saddle, especially online. We understand this entirely. You're free to order 1-3 at a time to try them out. We ask that you place electrical or masking tape on the rails to keep them clean for the next customer in case you need to return. Saddles often come with comfort guarantees too, so feel free to inquire about whether the brand you're looking at does or not. We'll often try to avoid doing this as well because we don't like to be wasteful, but if you use tape and don't take it on an epic shred down a mountain, chances are they'll be fully re-sellable and we can refund you for it.
Electronics & Cycling Computers
Electronics include power meters, electronic drive trains (SRAM AXS/Shimano Di2 etc.) - Cycling computers include non-GPS enabled and GPS enabled cycling computers. These products may come with promotional software codes and warranty registration tied to their serial numbers. If these codes are consumed or registered we are no longer able to refund the product.
Gift Cards, Store Credit & Vouchers
We cannot refund gift cards, or redeem a gift card or store credit as another form of payment. Refunds for items purchased on a gift card or as store credit will be refunded back to the gift card or will be applied as in-store credit at the discretion of Bicicletta.
Gift cards purchased by you or someone else do not expire. Legacy gift cards and store credit from our previous point of sale system no longer work with our website. Please reach out to Rider Support in order to redeem these.
Online credit vouchers issued by Bicicletta, as part of a promotion or sale, have expiration dates. You can see this expiration date in the original email where you received the credit voucher. Promotional credit vouchers will be forfeited if the product that qualified you for the promotion is returned. In situations where the voucher is consumed partially or in full, the amount consumed will be deducted from the returned amount.
Spirit of our Return Policy
Bicicletta.cc is a small company. We are owned and operated by riders from Vancouver, Canada, but we also have coworkers in many other cities including Victoria, Squamish, Toronto, and Edmonton. The team is always growing. We want it to be easy for you to return products when needed because we sympathize with you and realize it's hard to find the right fitting clothing or parts sometimes. We have a lot of hard to find brands and strong expertise to help you find something that suits your cycling needs, but sometimes things just don't work out the way we'd hope. If there is ever a situation that doesn't align with your expectations, please reach out to Rider Support and we'll take a look at it. We're reasonable, and if you are too, we'll do our best to find a solution for you. We ask that you do your best to respect our policy and not take advantage of it. Our goal is to continue to offer you a high level of service and get you products that are often difficult to find throughout Canada.

Recently I saw the new short documentary called "Celia Thaxter's Island Garden" about the late 19th century poet Celia Thaxter (1835-1894) and her garden.
During the summer Celia lived on Appledore Island, off the coast of New Castle, N.H. Her family owned the hotel on the island and Celia worked there for many summers. That is also where she cultivated a small garden.
"I thought it was a good story because many people go out to see the garden," said New Hampshire publisher and photographer Peter Randall, who produced the new film.
The film runs for about 30 minutes and captures the spirit of her garden, past and present.
In the garden she loved, Celia grew mainly annuals in order to fill vases to decorate the hotel during the summer. Her garden measured 50-feet-by-15-feet.
The hotel went down in a fire in 1914, but volunteers have preserved Celia's garden. In the garden today you see the flowers in the same spot that Celia planted them. She left the details of her work in the garden in her book "An Island Garden," probably her most famous book and still worth reading today.
Many of New England's leading authors, musicians, and artists, like American Impressionist Childe Hassam who painted the cover of her book, visited the Appledore House and spent time with Celia. Hassam's paintings often depict Celia with her treasured flowers.
The video uses photographs from the 19th century as well photographs that Randall, who first visited the island in 1974, took more recently. Last summer he spent three nights on Appledore to shoot video for the film. Several interviews with volunteer gardeners appear in the film as well.
Today the plants for the garden are started at the University of New Hampshire greenhouses in Durham. The most popular flower, and the one many people ask about, is the Scabiosa. The hop vine that Celia grew in her garden thrives in the same spot. Marigolds and Calendula were her favorite flowers, along with the blue Batchelor button.
Celia collected her seeds from friends who came to the hotel, but also purchased them from seed companies. Perhaps one of her seed sources was the James Vick Seed Company from Rochester, N.Y., because she mentioned his death in a letter to a friend within weeks after he died in 1882. In the letter she wrote, "Old Vick has died."
Today the Island provides a learning environment as part of Cornell University's Shoals Marine Laboratory. John Kingsbury, early scientist with the Laboratory, recreated Celia's garden in the late 1970s. As the film portrays, every summer from the end of June until the third week of August people can now make reservations to board a boat from the dock at New Castle to visit the garden.
What astounded me in the film was that the garden today includes every plant variety Celia lists in her book. The number planted each summer now totals 1,600.
See the film and take the opportunity to learn about one of America's most celebrated 19th century writers who also happened to be an avid gardener.
The documentary film is available online at celiathaxtergarden.com.

Maybe they should have called it "S" Is for Sucker
The Alphabet From A to Y: With Bonus Letter Z! Words by Steve Martin. Pictures by Roz Chast. Doubleday/Flying Dolphin, 64 pp., $17.95. Suggested ages: "Young Children" (Doubleday), "Baby/Preschool" (Powell's), 9-to-12 (Amazon).
By Janice Harayda
Hey, kids! You're never too young to laugh at people who are different from you! And if you're an adult who wants to help, Steve Martin and Roz Chast are there for you! They use rhyming couplets to show 2-to-4-year-olds – the usual audience for alphabet books — just how easy it is to make fun of religious, cultural and physical differences!
Looking for the perfect Hannukah gift for a toddler? How about a book that explains the letter "K" by showing an ape-like woman ("King Kong's aunt Frances") saying, "Kids! Kome Back! Have Some Kosher Kasha!" Or need something to wrap up for Diwali? Why not a book that shows a funny-looking guy in a turban staring at a woman "indecent in her undies"? Those 2-year-olds have to learn about perverts sometime! And what could be better for kids celebrating the Day of the Dead than a book that introduces the letter "I" with a poster of "The Incans"? (Will those kids ever be surprised to learn that the plural of "Inca" is "Incans" and not "Inca" or "Incas"!) Martin and Chast even show how simple it can be to make fun of disabilities! And nuns! The "H" page says: "Henrietta the hare wore a habit in heaven, / Her hairdo hid hunchbacks: one hundred and seven." And Martin and Chast aren't talking about Quasimodo but people who look just like your Uncle Ed except with disabilities! Yes, they could easily have said "halfbacks" instead of "hunchbacks"! But they must have decided that people with disabilities are funnier than athletes!
Sure, you might see all of this as tasteless — not to mention, a little mature for kids who may be poring over Once Upon a Potty. So why didn't the people at Doubleday pitch this book to the group who would enjoy it most, the adult fans of Chast's New Yorker cartoons? Could it be that they figured out that they could make more money by selling it as a children's book? Maybe they should have called it "S" Is for Sucker.

Welcome to FSJ Store
You have no items in your shopping cart.
Leopard print shoes offer a versatile and popular choice that can be worn all year round. There is a style that is ideal for almost every occasion, but careful consideration needs to be given to your choice if they are going to appear to be a stylish extension to the rest of your clothing.
There are different style categories to select from, and below is a brief explanation of how to wear each design:
Leopard print heels tend to look most stylish when worn as part of a more formal outfit and are therefore ideal for special occasions and parties. Team them up with dark colored slacks and a different top, or if you are after a more co-ordinated style, stick to more neutral tones of cream, green and light brown instead.
They usually get teamed up with casual clothing like skinny jeans, a neutrally colored skirt or even smart shorts in the summer. Flat pumps are incredibly adaptable and are comfortable enough to be worn all day long, but again, steer clear of teaming them up with matching accessories if at all possible or you will run the risk of overdoing the look.
Leopard skin ankle boots and shoes are most suited to wearing with jeans and teamed up with a lighter colored top and accessories that coordinate with the natural brown shades of the leopard print design. They incorporate a relatively high heel, so keeping them on all day can sometimes become uncomfortable, however. They are therefore ideal for less formal evening wear and can be worn all year round.
The Cheetah Print court shoe is a timeless and traditional style and comprises a slip-on, low cut design, traditionally with a medium to high heel height. This makes them perfect for office wear, and they are an excellent compromise if you are after a higher heel that can be worn for longer periods of time.
The crucial point to remember is that leopard print shoes create a robust statement all on their own. Trying to increase their impact by including a selection of matching leopard design accessories will seldom work and will ultimately damage the impact your shoes might otherwise have had.

Arlington, Virginia - The US Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has developed a polyurethane foam technology that could increase the survival rate of injured troops in the battlefield.
DARPA made the discovery as part of its Wound Stasis System programme, which it launched in 2010 in hopes of finding a technological solution that could mitigate damage from internal bleeding.
Materials company and programme participant Arsenal Medical Inc. developed a PU foam-based product that can control haemorrhaging in a patient's intact abdominal cavity for at least one hour, based on swine injury model data, DARPA said.
The polyurethane forms inside a patient's body upon injection of polyol and isocyanate into the abdominal cavity. As the liquids mix, two reactions are triggered, DARPA said. First, the mixed liquid expands to about 30 times its original volume while conforming to the surfaces of injured tissue. Second, the liquid transforms into solid foam capable of providing resistance to intra-abdominal blood loss.
During testing, minimally invasive application of the product reduced blood loss six-fold and increased the rate of survival at three hours post-injury to 72 percent from the eight percent observed in controls, the agency reported.
"According to the US Army Institute of Surgical Research, internal haemorrhage is the leading cause of potentially survivable deaths on the battlefield, so the Wound Stasis effort should ultimately translate into an increased rate of survival among warfighters. If testing bears out, the foam technology could affect up to 50 percent of potentially survivable battlefield," said Brian Holloway, DARPA program manager.
DARPA recently awarded a $15.5 million Phase II contract to Arsenal Medical to continue development of the treatment system and support regulatory submission. DARPA anticipates continuing the Wound Stasis programme through to FDA approval of a prototype device, and possibly further.

Red Sox manager Farrell would like expanded replay
Boston manager John Farrell is certainly on-board with expanding the use of replays in baseball after an admitted blown call cost the Red Sox the potential tying run in a loss a night earlier.
Speaking to reporters at Fenway Park on Tuesday night about three hours before Boston opened a three-game series against Seattle, Farrell said he believes that with better technology baseball can get more ''out or safe'' calls correct.
Trailing by a run in the eighth inning of a 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay on Monday, pinch-runner Daniel Nava was called out by home plate umpire Jerry Meals attempting to score on a fly ball. After watching the replay, Meals later admitted to a pool reporter from the Associated Press that he was ''wrong on my decision.''
Major League Baseball is looking at a vast expansion of video review by umpires for the 2014 season and is examining whether all calls other than balls and strikes should be subject to instant replay.
Currently, baseball uses replay only for home runs, but Farrell thinks the game would be better served by expanding its use.
''In plays like last night, I think it furthers the debate,'' he said. ''I've always felt that the advances in technology, how it's come into the game, there's no reason to think that it can't be used to a greater extent without prolonging the time of the game, particularly on plays that are not continual plays. That was out or safe. There's really no other continuance, such as a play that's in the gap with multiple men on and less than two outs.''
The use of replay has been in place for home run calls since August 2008. Commissioner Bud Selig initially wanted to add trap plays and fair/foul calls down the lines for 2013, but change was put off while more radical options were examined.
In Monday's game, replays showed that Nava slid into the top portion of the plate before Rays catcher Jose Molina came across to make the tag. Farrell and Nava argued, with Farrell getting ejected.
About 25 minutes after the game, standing in the umpire's room, Meals said: ''What I saw was Molina blocked the plate and Nava's foot lifted. But in the replays, you could clearly see Nava's foot got under for a split second and then lifted, so I was wrong on my decision. From the angle I had, I did not see his foot get under Molina's shin guard.''
With the loss, the Rays retook first place in the AL East, jumping over Boston to grab a half-game lead.
The same umpiring crew was in town for the series opener against the Mariners.
Farrell just wants to see the calls made correctly and understands that the lengthening of games is an option that the league is likely trying to avoid.
''I know it's an ongoing conversation with the commissioner's office and those that are on the field committee,'' he said. ''How it's ultimately implemented, I think that's the challenge in all of this. I know there's a lot of sensitivity in the overall time of game to not slow things down. In situations like last night, I think the most important thing and the overriding thing is to call things the way they should be.''
When discussing the options other professional leagues use, Farrell even had a solution.
''I think there's a limit to how many times you can challenge a call,'' he said.
When asked if ''once'' would be OK with him, he said: ''I'd be in favor of it.''
The first-year Boston manager even had an idea.
''There could be one guy in New York that could monitor all the games.''

Friday Philosophy – The start of Computing October 7, 2011Posted by mwidlake in Friday Philosophy, history.

add a comment
This week I finally made a visit to Bletchley Park in the middle of England. Sue and I have been meaning to go there for several years, it is the site of the British code-breaking efforts during the second world war and, despite difficulties getting any funding, there has been a growing museum there for a number of years. {Hopefully, a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund, granted only this month, will secure it's future}.
Why is Bletchley Park so significant? Well, for us IT-types it is significant because Alan Turing did a lot of work there and it was the home of Colossus, one of the very first electrical, programmable computers. More generally of interrest, their efforts and success in cracking enemy ciphers during WW2 were incredibly important and beneficial to the UK and the rest of the allies.
In this post, I am not going to touch on Colossus or Alan Turing, but rather a machine called the "Bombe". The Bombe was used to help discover the daily settings of the German Enigma machines, used for decrypting nearly all German and Italian radio messages. All the Bombes were destroyed after the war (at least, all the UK ones were) to help keep secret the work done to crack the cyphers – but at Bletchley Park the volunteers have recreated one. Just like the working model of Babbage's Difference Engine, it looks more like a work of art than a machine. Here is a slightly rough video I took of it in action:
My slightly rough video of the bombe
{OK, if you want a better video try a clearer video by someone else.}
I had a chat with the gentleman you see in both videos about the machine and he explained something that the tour we had just been on did not make clear – the Bombe is a parallel processing unit. Enigma machines have three wheels. There are banks of three coloured disks in the bombe (see the picture below). eg, in the middle bank the top row of disks are black, middle are yellow and bottom are red. Each vertical set of three disks, black-yellow-red, is the equivalent of a single "enigma machine". Each trio of disks is set to different starting positions, based on educated guesses as to what the likely start positions for a given message might be. The colour of the disk matches, I think, one of the known sets of wheels the enigma machines could be set up with. The machine is then set to run the encrypted message through up to 36 "Enigmas" at once. If the output exceeds a certain level of sense (in this case quite crucially, no letter is every encrypted back to itself) then the settings might be correct and are worth further investigation. This machine has been set up with the top set of "Enigmas" not in place, either to demonstrate the workings or because the machine is set up for one of the more complex deciphering attempts where only some of the banks can be used.
The reason the chap I was talking to really became fascinated with this machine is that, back in about 1999, a home PC programmed to do this work was no faster than the original electro-mechanical machines from 1944 were supposed to have taken. So as an engineer he wanted to help build one and find out why it was so fast. This struck a chord with me because back in the late 1990's I came across several examples of bespoke computers designed to do specific jobs (either stuff to do with natural gas calorific value, DNA matching or protein folding), but by 2000, 2002 they had all been abandoned as a general PC could be programmed to be just as fast as these bespoke machines – because bespoke means specialist means longer and more costly development time means less bangs for your buck.
Admittedly the Bombe is only doing one task, but it did it incredibly fast, in parallel, and as a part of the whole deciphering process that some of the best minds of their time had come up with (part of the reason the Bletchley Park site was chosen was that it was equidistant between Oxford and Cambridge and, at that time, there were direct train links. {Thanks, Dr Beeching}. ).
Tuning and reliability was as important then as it is now. In the below picture of the back of the machine (sorry about the poor quality, it was dim in that room), you can see all the complex wiring in the "door" and, in the back of the machine itself, those three rows of bronze "pipes" are in fact…Pipes. Oil pipes. This is a machine, they quickly realised that it was worth a lot of effort to keep those disks oiled, both for speed and reliability.
Talking of reliability, one other thing my guide said to me. These machines are complex and also have some ability to cope with failures or errors built into them. But of course, you needed to know they were working properly. When these machines were built and set up, they came with a set of diagnostic tests. These were designed to push the machine, try the edge cases and to be as susceptible to mechanical error as possible. The first thing you did to a new or maintained machine was run your tests.
1943, you had awesome parallel processing, incredible speed and test-driven development and regression testing. We almost caught up with all of this in the early 21st Century.

Water-main break: Residents address commissioners
Concerned residents packed the Wiesloch Raum Wednesday for the Sturgis City Commission meeting.
Nearly all of them attended to discuss their options stemming from a water main break that occurred Jan. 11 in Sturgis. Residents west of North Lakeview Avenue on Wilshire and Devonshire drives were affected by the problem, 23 homes in all.
Prior to public comment, Mayor Ken Malone told residents they may not get many answers yet at Wednesday's meeting.
"Unfortunately, many of you are going to go away with some questions unanswered because we have a process we have to go through," Malone said. "That's not to say you won't get the answers (eventually), but tonight you won't be getting those answers."
Several basements were damaged as a result of the break and many residents told the commission about their experiences and issues that stemmed from the backup.
Several spoke of spending family time they spend in their basement and it being a place of entertainment and enjoyment, and spoke about monetary losses — several exceeding $5,000 in damages.
First to address the commission was Dave Cramton of 704 Devonshire Drive. Cramton, a full-time firefighter in Three Rivers, said he and his fiancee prefer to live in Sturgis because they enjoy the city.
"I still live in Sturgis, we enjoy this town and it's kept us here," Cramton said. "We're adding onto our house because we really like this area, there's never been a question of that."
However, Cramton did express his concern about the current situation.
"The concern I have as a new parent — and we've had to change our wedding around because of this — as a new father, I don't know how to protect my family from this happening again," he said. "My kids play downstairs in the basement all the time. That's a big family area for us."
David Hurley, of 715 Devonshire Drive, mentioned that because the city provides the services, something should be done to help those who were affected by the incident.
"I hope the city comes through and does the right thing with this," Hurley said. "I know this is a fair council. This has happened before in this town and it was taken care of. And when we take care of the problem can we get it fixed so that it doesn't happen again."
Chris Hackman of 804 Wilshire Drive echoed Hurley's comments.
"I hope the city does the right thing," Hackman said. "I love my city."
City Manager Mike Hughes encouraged residents in attendance to file a claim because of the insurance and legal matters stemming from the break.
However, Hughes said people should not get their hopes up too quickly regarding the problem or receiving money just yet.
Four claims had been submitted prior to the meeting, Hughes said. As the claims continue to roll in, Hughes said the city will work "quickly" in trying to help mend the issue.
Residents talked about the issue for more than 30 minutes, each expressing concerns over lost money, what to do next and how the city will handle the issue moving forward.
Because insurance will be involved, no one was given a definite answer Wednesday night.
