PREDICTION: Meet the Future Software Engineer Who Led Caltech to Historic Win
1:28 pm SLT, 2/24/2011
This is a continuation of a news article where Toyota has invented a Robot that plays the Trumpet. That aligns with the Band Theme and how we all used to be in high school band together.
My car was a Toyota and Toyota invented that Trumpet.
I posted earlier about Congressman David Wu of Oregon asked to resign for wearing a TIGER Costume. WENDI ******* was crazy about TIGERS. So I bought her a Tiger Steering Wheel Cover as a present back in high school for her car she drove to school.
The News Article also mentions about the VIOLIN. The other Wendi in Marching Band 1991 played Violin. I remember when it was pouring rain on the SKHS Football Field during Half Time, and she'd play the Violin along with us to "Unbelievable" by E.M.F. I always wondered if all that rain water warped the wood on the Violin and whether anyone in the stands could even HEAR one Violin out in the middle of a football field.

I appreciate your response. Here's something for you. Last night, I said Roman L*****o, Lori H*****s, and me all played Clarinet in high school band, and I drove a 1977 Toyota Corona to school. Wendi Johnson, born 10/10, like you played Trumpet. News today is about Toyota inventing a Robot that plays the Trumpet.

Thanks to the engineering impresarios at Toyota, those unguided hordes of boogying robot dancers finally have mechanical musicians to move them. The company's updated 'Partner' 'bots recently demonstrated their automated violin and trumpet skills, both solo and with human accompaniment, at the Robot & Human Concert in Tokyo. Despite its impressive skills, the violin-'bot will still require years of dedicated training programming before its can rival this technological violin master.

I'm posting this news article a day later because it's showing what surfaced 12 hours after I posted stuff in Facebook. More specifically, reference to the person born 4/28 with a "Tiger" Tag and about how people think those who work in the Psychic Field are crazy.
The news article the next morning was about the GOP calling for Congressman David Wu to resign due to Mental Health Issues and a photo of him wearing a Tiger Costume.
This is an example what I've been perfecting for the last 7 years of posting things in a Blog and having them manifest 24 - 48 hours later in the Associated Press Feed.
I claim it can be done because you're using your Mind as an Organic Laptop with an Internal Wireless Modem to link up to the Earth's Electromagnetic Field as a Communication Grid.
Because the Subconscious Collective consists of the Subconscious Minds of News Writers, Producers, Directors, Actors, and World Leaders, they'll broadcast information on an Unconscious Level.
My Subconscious Mind is subscribed or plugged into that Planetary RSS Feed. It will pick out information before it is released in the Manmade RSS Feed for the Associated Press and manifest a real life event with the same tags giving me a heads-up before it hits the news.
=========================
Last night, I said about this 4/28 person with a "Tiger" Tag attached to her, those who think people in the Psychic Field are crazy, and aligning Real Life events with the Associated Press. News this morning says GOP urge Congressman David Wu to resign because of Mental Health Issues and this photo of him wearing a bizarre Tiger Costume.
The key to proving alignment with the Associated Press Feed is having witnesses online who see you post something before it surfaces in the Associated Press. The Time Stamps on the Blog posted hours before it surfaces in the news establish that you're posting things before they go public to show.
That's something Psychics couldn't do 60 years ago with a way for Skeptics to track the Psychic's path showing consistency in saying things before they happen. Because it's public, people can scroll back on your FB or Blog to check the Time Stamps and verify that you're indeed saying things before they happen. Cyberspace and Blogging didn't exist yet. So even if a Psychic "claimed" he did, there was no way to prove or track it.

By JONATHAN J. COOPER, Associated Press Jonathan J. Cooper, Associated Press - Thu Feb 24, 4:52 am ET
SALEM, Ore. - A photo of Rep. David Wu wearing a tiger costume and other unusual revelations about his mental health are increasing pressure on the seven-term Oregon Democrat to step down.
But the lawmaker says he's not quitting even as an editorial in one of the state's largest newspapers and the state Republican chairman called for his resignation.
Wu said this week that it was "unprofessional and inappropriate" to send pictures of himself wearing a tiger costume to staff members while he was in the middle of a heated campaign last year. He also acknowledged taking two tablets of a pain killer that were given to him by an unnamed campaign donor.
"This was the only time that this has ever happened," the congressman said in a statement of the pain killer episode. "I recognize that my action showed poor judgment at the time, and I sincerely regret having put my staff in a difficult position."
Seven staff members resigned after the campaign following bizarre behavior that concerned his team at the end of the 2010 campaign. The Oregonian also reported that Wu's campaign was fined by state officials for failing to carry workers compensation
The Eugene Register Guard, Oregon's second-largest newspaper by circulation, published an editorial Wednesday calling for Wu's resignation "for lack of candor, not because of treatment."
"Wu should have been forthcoming about his medical treatment when it began," said the paper, which publishes outside Wu's district.
Another paper, the Daily Astorian from Clatsop County in Wu's district, planned to publish an editorial Thursday also suggesting that Wu should step down, saying the congressman has served the region well but "certainly Wu is becoming an embarrassment."
"He has a really important job, and the citizens of Oregon and the citizens of the congressional district deserve to have a congressman who's completely focused on serving them and being a great congressman," Oregon Republican Party Chairman Allen Alley said Wednesday.
Wu's spokesman said the congressman has no plans to resign and will seek re-election in 2012.
"It will be up to his constituents to decide whether he's proven himself," Dorey said.
Wu tried to confront the criticism in a network television interview on Tuesday, telling ABC's Good Morning America that he's being treated with counseling and medication and saying he has overcome any mental issues that occurred during a stressful midterm election.
Wu was unavailable Wednesday to comment, said his spokesman, Erik Dorey. The congressman will be in Portland this weekend and plans to speak with reporters then, Dorey said.
Wu's district is a Democratic stronghold that includes the west side of Portland and the city's technology-heavy eastern suburbs, including the global headquarters for Nike and a major factory for chipmaker Intel. It stretches northwest to the coast and south into Oregon's wine country.
Wu was a political newcomer when he was elected to Congress in 1998 as the first Chinese-American to serve in the U.S. House. He's maintained a centrist voting record but been a leading voice on human rights abuses in China, and he angered the high-tech firms in his district when he voted against normalizing trade relations with China.
Even as Wu faces pressure to quit, some of his top political supporters are sticking by him.
"We support David Wu because he's a strong supporter of working families," said Arthur Towers, political director for the Service Employees International Union in Oregon. "Clearly he's going through some personal health problems, and now is not the time to change our position."
Richard Schwarz, executive director of the American Federation of Teachers in Oregon, said Wu is entitled to seek medical care.
"We have no reason at this point to not support him," Schwarz said.
A special election would be held to fill out Wu's term if he were to step down.

I don't know if I have enough time to clean up this Blog Entry, but I just got a flood of Psychic Readings that have been overwhelming my Facebook page.
=====
I told former classmates Heidi, Scott, Rob, Cliff, and Bronwyn about Senior Year A.P. Calculus in 1993 about Scott born 3/10 and timing with numbers. Scott graduated from a CA School in Computers.
Caltech just snapped 310 Losing Streak today thanks to a senior Ryan Elmquist putting in a 3 pointer to win 46 - 45 vs. Occidental College.
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketball/blog/the_dagger/post/Meet-the-future-software-engineer-who-led-Caltec?urn=ncaab-325528
Their last Conference Win was in 1985. They snapped a 26 year losing streak.
I remember passing by the Olympic College today as my mum was driving me to the WA DMV. I then peered curiously at an Olympic College "View" catalogue for Spring Classes lying on the kitchen table.
I couldn't convince Scott in 2004 about how Science, Technology, and Computer Software Programming can be applied to the Psychic Field if you interpret Earth as a Super Computer and the Planet's Electromagnetic Field as Cyberspace with the Human Mind providing an active signal to link up to it as a Communication Grid.
I've been perfecting that Software Program by pushing the limits of the Subconscious Mind to act as a Personal Assistant to align real life events with the Associated Press Feed 24 - 48 hours in advance by setting up "Reservations" for events 1 - 2 years ahead of time like you would plan a Large Wedding grabbing resources so it will be ready 2 years later when the event is to occur.
Well, we now have Technology that runs parallel to this. Your Mind is like an Organic Laptop Computer with an Internal Wireless Modem tapping into the Earth's Electromagnetic Field as Cyberspace. Sure, there's no keyboard, you can transmit data like "Psychic Twitter" or "Psychic Instant Messaging." Same principle.
Just like the U.S.S Voyager as the only Starfleet Vessel out in the Delta Quandrant, you're pretty much on your own. You meet new alien races (other people in the Psychic Field). There are no reinforcements or help if you are attacked. Before Episode "Message in a Bottle," it's this lonely trek back in deep space with the near impossible goal of getting home.
In the Final Episode "Endgame," Ensign Harry Kim (who played CLARINET like me) is the future captain of the U.S.S. Rhode Island that helps Admiral Janeway (born 4/29 like Roman L*****o who played CLARINET) jump back in time get Voyager home sooner. RHODE ISLAND became a State on 5/29 (my birthday and Lori H******s who played CLARINET). The Final Episode aired 5/23 of 2001 when SOUTH CAROLINA became a State.
I said about "Star Trek: Voyager" and how Lori Hinds, Roman L*****o, and I all played Clarinet. In 1991 Sophomore Year of High School, our band teacher Mr. Stuvland made us rehearse "West Side Story." He would get irritated when Roman, Lori, and I would play this one string of notes like that female crooning the notes of the original "Star Trek" series Intro Music...LOL http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0055614/
"And then this one time at band camp..."
...I put Tabasco Sauce on Roman's Clarinet Reed for April Fools
I was joking with someone who plays WoW about Blizzard's new "Joyland" Amusement Park as "Babes in Joyland." The movie "Babes in Toyland" starring Annette Funicello aired 12/14 when ALABAMA became a State. That person's land parcel on Second Life (SL) was found by this friend I know born 12/14 in Seattle. I just saw her log on SL today where she'd been gone for 2 months. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0054649/

Oh I forgot to mention the person who plays WoW is born 4/28 when MARYLAND became a State. I'm 5/29 for RHODE ISLAND and WISCONSIN :D
Today is 2/23 when MISSISSIPPI became a State rejoining after the Civil War :D
Ann Jillian was Bo Peep in "Babes in Toyland" born 1/29 for KANSAS. She was in "Making a Living" with Paul Kreppel as Sonny Man born 6/20 for WEST VIRGINA. Richard Stahl was born 1/4 for UTAH. Barrie Youngfellow, top billed in that show, is born 10/22 like Annette Funicello from "Babes in Toyland" coming full circle. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0080233/
Marian Mercer, in "Making a Living," is born 11/26. That person born 4/28 for MARYLAND in my last post has a 1st Husband and Daughter both born 11/26. Had a classmate M****** Mercer as well as Mercer Island in WA.

Meet the Future Software Engineer Who Led Caltech to Historic Win
By Jeff Eisenberg
The hero of Caltech's first conference victory in 26 years admits he's been tempted to give up on basketball a handful of times.
"There have definitely been nights where I was up all night doing a midterm or a problem set and then I'd have a game or practice the next day on no sleep," senior Ryan Elmquist said by phone. "A lot of times you don't feel like playing at all, but you find a way to motivate yourself to do it."
All the sleepless nights and energy drink-fueled workouts became worthwhile Tuesday night when Elmquist tasted victory in what very likely will be his final competitive basketball game. The 6-foot-5 forward sank the go-ahead free throw with three seconds left to lift Caltech to a 46-45 victory over Occidental College, snapping a 310-game losing streak in the Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.
The victory touched off a wild celebration on a campus where students typically only rejoice like that after acing a midterm. Students and alumni rushed the court, players dumped a bucket of water on third-year coach Oliver Eslinger and the PA announcer screamed "Ladies and gentleman, the losing streak that began in 1985 has just been ended tonight!"
"It was pretty cool seeing the campus come together like that," Elmquist said. "Usually on a Tuesday night everyone would be studying and doing homework, so seeing everybody hanging out with the team and celebrating was pretty awesome. Normally that would only happen for something academic and not athletic."
Even though academics were the biggest reason Elmquist opted to attend Caltech, the Minnesota resident said the opportunity to continue playing basketball was also a big reason he came out West. Elmquist played basketball all four years at Woodbury High School, helping his team reach the Minnesota 5A state basketball tournament as a senior with a record of 25-5.
When Eslinger was hired at Caltech in fall 2008, he immediately put the team through a rigorous first practice in order to gauge the conditioning of his players. Most of the team was thoroughly exhausted after all the sprints, but Elmquist concluded practice with a 360 dunk before he put the ball on the rack.
"Ryan, we didn't work you hard enough?" Eslinger asked.
"Guess not," a smiling Elmquist responded.
The coach and player had a similar exchange a week later once Eslinger realized that the sophomore had the potential to be an impact player.
"I told Ryan if he wanted to be, he could be the best player to ever play here," Eslinger recalled. "He smiled again and said, 'Thank You.' He's one of the nicest guys you'll ever talk to. Besides being brilliant and being successful academically, he's really had quite a career here."
Elmquist averaged a team-high 15.8 points per game this season and leaves Caltech as the school's second-leading career scorer, but the path he took to achieve those feats is unique in college basketball.
Whereas top players at other programs seek out less demanding majors, Elmquist has a 3.5 GPA in computer science. Whereas top players in other programs spend their summers training and going to camps, Elmquist conducted advanced chemistry and math research and interned at Apple. And whereas top players at other programs pursue professional basketball once they graduate, Elmquist will work for Google as a computer software engineer.
Elmquist had set a goal of breaking the conference losing streak before he left Caltech, so he approached Tuesday's game with steely focus knowing that it was his final chance. He scored 23 points, grabbed nine rebounds, blocked four shots, and went 15 for 19 from the free-throw line, ending a futility-filled career with a historic triumph.
Though he admits he was nervous when he went to the foul line with a chance to win the game, Elmquist said he blocked out the pressure just enough to sink the first free throw to provide the final margin. The victory only elevated Caltech's overall record to 5-20, but that won't diminish Elmquist's sense of accomplishment.
"This was my last game ever," he said. "I can't picture a better storybook ending."

So geek fantasies do come true. At least they do In Wunjin district, China. Reported way back on February 7, 2011 by a French gaming blog, the videogame studio Blizzard's World of Warcraft and StarCraft themed amusement park appears to be more than just rumor after recent photos of the construction surfaced along with a Chinese news report.
This won't be the first time a "unique" theme park has come to fruition in China. In 2009 there was a Kingdom of Dwarves theme park that showcased people of short stature.
There's also Oriental Land near Shanghai, China. Oriental Land features a water park, boat rides, military defense training and a full sized American aircraft replica complete with Chinese military hardware on display inside.
Completing the circle of weird is Joyland, which will apparently be comprised of five themed sections: Terrain of Warcraft, Universe of StarCraft, Island of Mystery, Moles World (the cute section), and World of Legend.
Joyland was supposed to open by this March, but judging by the photos it doesn't look like it is going to be ready by then. Then again this is China we're talking about, where entire hotels have been built in six days.
Here's the Chinese news report. There are no English subtitles.
This is the Joyland website (Chinese).
