CAREERS: Company CV - Tesco Stores
Article excerpt
Tesco Stores is the UK food retailing arm of Tesco plc. It operates 1982 stores across the UK and a further 230 stores in Europe and 79 in Asia.
Tesco's strategy is split between four areas: core UK business, non-food business, retailing services, and international business.
In the UK, it has Extra, Metro, High Street, Superstore and Express store formats. It also operates convenience retailer T&S Stores.
Tesco was founded in 1932 as a private company by TE Stockwell and Jack Cohen, from whom it derives its name. It became a public company in 1947.
In January this year, the firm embarked on a major redesign and promotion of its organic product range, which included in-store promotions and redesigned packaging to offer customers more information on products.
In the same month, Tesco put in a bid to acquire Safeway. Its offer sits alongside those from rivals Sainsbury's, Wal-Mart/Asda and Morrisons.
Tesco is viewed as the least likely to acquire Safeway due to its market dominance.
January also saw Tesco acquire T&S Stores in a pounds 530m deal. T&S has 1202 outlets, which Tesco plans to run as an independent subsidiary, retaining the T&S brand name.
Tesco then announced plans to enter the telecoms market in partnership with Cable & Wireless. It is offering cut-price calls in a bid to take market share from BT.
In February, Tesco launched an environmentally friendly fuel called Biodiesel, a blend of low-sulphur diesel and rapeseed oil it claims reduces greenhouse emissions by 5% and harmful gas emissions by 20%. The introduction of the fuel followed the company's pounds 1.9m purchase of a 25% stake in Greenary Fuels.
Also in February, ads broke for Tesco's financial services offering. …

Russell Henley at 126 in Sony Open
Updated 11:29 pm, Friday, January 11, 2013
Two days into his PGA Tour career, Russell Henley was in the record book.
Henley putted for birdie on every hole Friday on his way to a second straight round of a 7-under 63, giving him a two-shot lead over fellow rookie Scott Langley and Scott Piercy at the Sony Open in Honolulu.
He was at 14-under 126, breaking the 36-hole tournament scoring record by two shots.
"It's pretty surreal," Henley said.
Volvo Champions: Louis Oosthuizen made a birdie on the final hole to take a one-shot lead after the second round of the European Tour event in Durban, South Africa.
Oosthuizen had an 8-under 64 for a 12-under 132 total, one shot ahead of Scott Jamieson (64) and Thongchai Jaidee (68).
Briefly: Ryo Ishikawa and Thaworn Wiratchant accepted invitations to the Masters. ... Darren Clarke may pull out of the race to become Europe's 2014 Ryder Cup captain.

On paper the fastest top speed in the sports class is the Surano I think then the Feltzer, Coquette and Comet... Yet the Massacro beats them all on long straight races such as "Long Haul 2"
The quickest to accelerate in my opinion would be the Elegy and Banshee but still the Massacro can deal with them
In my opinion I think the sports class was very rounded before this car was brought out in which anyone could choose from the large number of sports cars available and still have a chance of winning depending on the type of race, until after the Massacro come out and now all I see is that car winning races! Unless someone driving one was taken out by another player they are usually first and I just think its pretty pointless for other players even owning more than one sports car for races they shouldn't even waste their time spending their hard earned glitched money they only need a Massacro now
I just feel like the car should be toned down a little by Rockstar to make all the other cars in the class have a chance again does anybody else feel the same way or am I being a little bitch?
Shouts out to all the Banshee lads out there that thing is crazy like a Bear in the ocean

Police: Man reported for parole check with crack pipe in his pocket
Published 1:36 pm, Saturday, December 19, 2009
DANBURY -- A 65-year-old man was arrested Monday on drug charges after he allegedly reported to his parole officer with a crack pipe in his pocket.
James King reported to his probation officer about 4:30 p.m. Monday for a routine visit to the Main Street office, according to a police spokesman.
His probation officer searched his vehicle because King had failed several drug tests recently, and police had information about him dealing drugs in the Spring Street area, police said Wednesday.
During the vehicle search, his probation officer found a magnetic hideaway box, which contained five crack cocaine rocks and a crack pipe with residue in it, according to police. Police said King also had a crack pipe in his pocket.
He was charged with possession of drug paraphernalia and possession of crack.
King was released after posting a $5,000 bond. It is not known when he will be arraigned in Danbury Superior Court.

For just the 19th time in over a century of Major League Baseball, a pitcher was perfect.
Oakland Athletics left-hander Dallas Braden turned the trick Sunday on Mother's Day, shutting down the potent Tampa Bay Rays offense.
It hasn't even been 10 months since the last perfect game. That one was tossed by another soft thrower in Chicago's Mark Buehrle.
I was able to watch the final few innings of Buehrle's perfect game on TV. But on Sunday, moms came first, so I wasn't around to see this one. I'll have to try and record it if it's replayed anywhere.
Braden is probably best known for his verbal scrum with New York Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez.
A-Rod broke one of baseball's unwritten rules by running over the pitcher's mound when crossing from one side of the field to the other in a game between the two teams last month that Braden was starting. Braden was unhappy about it, and said so, which led to A-Rod saying he was surprised someone like Braden with such a low win total would make such a remark.
Apparently, Braden's grandma was still thinking about the incident after Sunday's perfect game.
This should put the whole issue to rest. As recently as Wednesday, Braden was still talking about it. But I think we can all agree that A-Rod has probably now heard of Dallas Braden.

Econo Lodge Oakley (Kansas) Reviews

Looks can be deceiving! Oct 17, 2009
The place doesn't look very pretty on the outside but it is clean and comfy on the inside.
From the front there appears to be only doors and no windows! There are windows, but they are all located on the other side of the building overlooking a grassy courtyard.
The courtyard is pet friendly! I sat by the sliding doors on the first floor during my first stay and watched people's small dogs run around yipping at everything! There is a small outdoor pool for the warmer months along with a volley ball net and ping pong table for guest to play.
Free waffles are available in the mornings for breakfast and the people at the office are very nice! CLC (corporate lodging card) is accepted.
There is a space for some trucks to park without their trailers.

'GTA: Chinatown Wars' - Lots of Power, Nice Lines, Lousy Handling
Jan 21, 2010 5:00 AM PT
"Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars," a game from Rockstar, is available for US$9.99 at the App Store. As gaming devices, the iPhone and the Nintendo Wii both face a similar problem. Game publishers often seem to believe that a game that's popular on the Xbox, PlayStation or PC should also be made to fit on the iPhone or Wii, even though you're really dealing with two very different kinds of platforms.
Game makers can and have created games that fit small touchscreens and motion-controlled devices perfectly. But when they take a game that was designed for use with a stationary controller that has more buttons than the average human has fingers, then try to shoehorn it into something with a totally different control design, the results can be a little off-putting. Sometimes that's due to unrealistic expectations; other times it's because the end result is just plain frustrating to play.
Granted, "Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars" isn't exactly an Xbox game retrofitted for a portable device. This edition in the "GTA" series was designed from the get-go for the hand-held screen, though it was originally released on Nintendo DS and PlayStation Portable. That's made its transition to iPhone/iPod touch very smooth in some ways, less so in others.
Welcome to Liberty City, Now Get Busy Stealing
Our protagonist in "GTA: CTW" is Huang Lee, a spoiled young man from a family of oddball gangsters, to put it nicely. He arrives in Liberty City acting as a courier, delivering a family heirloom to his uncle. Of course, nobody visiting Liberty City can avoid falling in with organized crime within a few short minutes, and Lee is soon rolled into his uncle's underworld dealings, despite his apparently sheltered upbringing and a total lack of training in the field of professional gangsterism.
Perhaps the first thing that those familiar with the "GTA" series will notice is the player's perspective. It's still a third-person view, but instead of a camera that stays on the character's back at all times, you're given a rotating camera pointing down on you at what I'm guessing is about 45 degrees. It's sort of a cross between the original "GTA's" top-down perspective and the design in "GTA III" and onward. It's not as engaging as standing directly over the shoulder of your character, and I found myself much less inclined to cause random mayhem when not at street level. It's also not always convenient when you're navigating through alleyways between tall buildings, but a double-tap on the control pad will at least put the camera behind you for a clearer view.
I was impressed with how smooth loading and graphics were on my 3G iPhone. Nothing felt jerky; in fact, the only time I noticed lag was when the music would start to get choppy in the middle of some very crazy driving, and I'd rather that happen than sacrifice play control. Cut scenes use still illustrations rather than animated characters, but Rockstar's typical "GTA" sense of humor shines through in the dialog.
You're given a fairly massive amount of Liberty City to explore, and your missions will take you all over the place. The mission and communication systems rely on the old PDA standby, and it's relatively easy to pick up quickly. The GPS that guides you through town is well-integrated into mission assignments, or you can use it to guide you anywhere you'd like to explore.
In short, rather than feeling like a game that developers had to hack away at in order to fit it into a mobile box, "GTA: CTW" feels well-suited for a pocket device. It's not too bloated with unnecessary or weird design afterthoughts, but the parts that make it interesting -- lots of missions, lots of territory, an actual plot -- are present.
However, when it comes time to actually drive, play control issues get in the way of the fun.
Hurts to Drive
Ever since "GTA III," the games in this series have seemed to strive toward a fairly realistic portrayal of automotive physics. You can't stop on a dime, most of the vehicles you steal do not accelerate like turbocharged sports cars, and your turning radius is generally pretty sad. This seems to work fine on a regular console, where you can feel the buttons under your fingers and see what's happening on a big TV screen. It's not exactly like driving a real car, but having real buttons and knobs under your fingertips eases the transition.
Trying to roll around Libery City in "GTA: CTW" on iPhone is like driving without your glasses while your hands are shot full of Novocaine. Since the iPhone has no physical buttons (except for that one that'll just exit the application for you), you rely on a set of virtual left/right buttons and accelerator/brake buttons, none of which you can feel. Worse, they put the brake button above the accelerator, rather than to the left. Maybe it's just me, but I feel like a left=brake, right=gas placement is more intuitive, if only because that's the way it is in real cars.
Instead, the "fire weapon" button is to the left of the accelerator. Many innocent pedestrians on Liberty City's streets paid a tragic price for that awkward control arrangement, and I think someone owes their families an apology.
Add in the fact that you're controlling a tiny car on a small screen, all the while being followed by an angled camera that doesn't always show the angle you want to see, and frustration levels rise even further. I just wonder whether Rockstar could have compromised a little on the physical realism of driving, considering this platform's no-buttons limitation.
"GTA: CTW" for iPhone also falls prey to a common video game sin: the pointless minigame. "Fallout 3" does it when you have to pick a lock or hack a computer; "Call of Duty 3" for Wii does it when you have to set a charge. In "GTA: CTW," the madness starts when you have to hotwire your first car -- you have to spin your little screwdriver this way and that to get the ignition going. That's the easy way. Later, you'll have to turn four screws individually to remove a dashboard panel, separate two ignition wires, splice them together and twist. It's just as tedious to do as that last sentence was to read.
Bottom Line
"GTA: CTW" benefits from not being a retrofit -- it was born for the small screen, and it uses its limited resources well. It's also pure "GTA"; the story, hijinks and mayhem are exactly what fans of the series should expect.
But when it comes to actually driving, the play control seems capable of aggravating even a patient player. No doubt you'll get the hang of it after a while, but the frustration factor may be considerable, especially since driving a car is one of the main things you're doing in this game.

Release Notes: The dominant theme is improvements and feature additions to the user interface, particularly to text views, dialogs, (context) menus, and input line commands. However, nearly all areas of the application have seen some amount of improvements in this release, as is to be expected given the relatively long release cycle: connection behavior, IRC protocol handling, scripting support, encryption support, and user documentation - new features, polish, and bugfixes are to be found in all of them.
Release Notes: This is a maintenance release that fixes a data corruption / data loss bug in the Watched Nicknames Online system, improves the handling of manual aborts of automatic reconnection attempts after connection failure and RFC 1459 PING/PONG exchanges, and addresses several user interface flaws.
Release Notes: This version adds support for the DCC Whiteboard standard, enabling collaborative drawing. It also brings back integration with KDE's certificate store for SSL connections and expands support for auto-away to non-X11 platforms. Numerous interface tweaks and bugfixes are included as well. The new minimum dependencies are KDE 4.3 and Qt 4.5.
Release Notes: This is a hotfix release that increases the reliability of Konversation's interaction with the D-Bus interprocess communication daemon.
Release Notes: Support was added for passive DCC chat and amarok:// URLs. A large amount of UI improvements were done to various tabs and dialogs, such as the "Watched Nicknames Online" and "URL Catcher" tabs and the "Join Channel" dialog. Support for the new KDE 4.4+ tray icon API was added. Various bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: All open connections and channels can be bookmarked at once as a bookmark folder. Bookmark folders can be opened at once. Support for disconnecting and reconnecting based on changes in network availability (via KDE's Solid) was added. Various bugs were fixed.
Release Notes: Support for SOCKS v5 and HTTP proxies, a redesigned DCC file transfer UI (and several new DCC features, such as support for IPv6 and DCC REJECT), support for UPnP, rewritten and improved support for Blowfish encryption (now supporting DH1080 key exchange and more), a significantly better performing channel list, a rewrite of the channel nickname lists for better performance and battery-friendliness, a new channel join invitation UI, an improved auto-replace feature, expanded media player support, many improvements to the IRC protocol implementation, and many bugfixes.
Release Notes: This release brings improved connection management with expanded support for irc:// URLs, redone outbound traffic scheduling, auto-away support, more intelligent marker/remember line behavior, a new DCC user interface, passive/reverse DCC support, and more.

Scottish League One: Rangers beat Stranraer 3-0 to remain top of table
Rangers eased past Stranraer 3-0 to consolidate their position at the top of Scottish League One.
Last Updated: 18/08/13 3:41pm
Rangers consolidated their position at the top of Scottish League One with a comfortable 3-0 win over Stranraer at Stair Park, with the home side having a men sent off after the break.
First-half goals from Andy Little, Lewis Macleod and captain Lee McCulloch sealed victory as Ally McCoist's side eased home.
Rangers were boosted by the return of McCulloch after suspension and Dean Shiels from a long-term knee injury and they almost took an early lead.
Jon Daly saw a shot come back off the post after he had gathered a Lee Wallace free-kick.
But they were ahead after just five minutes when Ian Black's shot from the edge of the area was deflected off Little and evaded goalkeeper David Mitchell in the Stranraer goal.
The home side rallied but failed to turn their possession into chances, allowing Rangers to double their lead on 22 minutes.
Little crossed from the right wing, Michael Daly missed the ball in front of goal and Macleod was on hand to drill home at the back post.
The game was over as a contest on the half-hour courtesy of McCulloch, who was left unmarked eight yards out to power home a header from Law's whipped cross.
The home side did go close when Light Blues' keeper Scott Gallacher tipped over a Chris Aitken free-kick.
Rangers also began the second half well, Shiels' flicking the ball on to Daly whose shot was palmed away by Mitchell.
The afternoon then got worse for Stranraer when Aitken was dismissed on 72 minutes after picking up a second yellow card for a foul on Macleod having already been cautioned for dissent.

On Saturday night, Ford Field Stadium in Detroit, Michigan filled with over 50,000 race fans to witness World Class Supercross athletes battle it out for a shot at the top step of the podium. Yoshimura/Suzuki's James Stewart rode flawlessly to capture his third win of the season and his forty-eighth career victory. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's rookie, Adam Cianciarulo took home another win in the 250SX class extending his points, once again.
Claiming the Nuclear Cowboyz Holeshot award, Cole Seely led the premier class out of the gate and into turn one. Yoshimura/Suzuki's James Stewart put his head down early to chase down Seely and make the pass for the lead early in lap three. Fill in 250SX rider, Cole Seely gave Stewart another run before letting him gap himself out front.
Red Bull/KTM's rookie, Ken Roczen rapped his night up early, once again, with some mechanical bike issues putting him out of the running early in the moto.
Sitting back in third, Villopoto looked to close the gap on Seely and managed to do so making a successful pass on Seely to move into second position on lap six. After turning the fastest lap several laps in a row, Red Bull/KTM`s Ryan Dungey managed to make the pass on Discount Tire/TwoTwo Motosports fill in rider, Dean Wilson, to make his way into fourth.
While Muscle Milk/Honda rider Justin Barcia closed the gap on Andrew Short, Short was all over the back tire of Wilson looking for the pass for fifth. As Dungey made his way by Seely and into third position, Short, Barcia and Josh Hill made their way by Wilson putting him back to eighth around the halfway mark.
Going into lap fourteen, Barcia made a clean pass on Short taking over fifth position with sights set on Dungey, sitting in third. However, supercross veteran, Andrew Short made a pass back on the youngster pushing him back into fifth.
Unfortunately, fill in rider Cole Seely found some misfortune with just under five laps to go. The number twenty-one bike got a little sideways in the whoops, sending Seely to take soil samples.
Despite Dungey's consistency to run the fastest laps right through to the end of the moto, and Stewart's week of rest and relaxation, Stewart got his Yoshimura/Suzuki out front early to capture his third win of the season. The victory claimed on Saturday night in Detroit also tied Stewart with Ricky Charmichael for the second most career wins of all time in the history of the sport.
Points leader Ryan Villopoto maintained his lead by taking home a second from Ford Field Stadium. While Ryan Dungey took the third podium position to keep himself in the points chase, Andrew Short, Justin Barcia and Broc Tickle took the remainder of the top six positions.
In the 250SX class, Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Martin Davalos led the pack into turn one holding off Cianciarulo and Bogle to capture the Nuclear Cowboyz Holeshot Award. Monster Energy/Pro Circuit/Kawasaki's Blake Baggett went to work early making his way through the pack from an unfortunately poor jump out of the gate.
After a severe crash in practice qualifying earlier in the day, Davalos surprised teammates and race fans alike by getting his Kawasaki out front right out of the gate in the main event. However, the chain of unfortunate events for Davalos carried on throughout the moto with a crash in lap four, and another in lap seven.
Adam Cianciarulo capitalized on his teammates mistakes to move himself into the lead with Bogle all over his rear wheel. With five laps to go, Bogle looked to nudge in on Cianciarulo but the rookie managed to hold him off and maintain the front seat.
Cianciarulo took another win in Detroit to extend his points lead even further, while Justin Bogle claimed his career best finish with a second. Baggett managed to make his way up to third from a poor start to claim the final podium position.
Next week the series heads up to Canada for round twelve at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, Ontario. The venue is nearly sold out, as the show remains to be the sole Canadian stop for Northern Supercross race fans. Canadian 250SX rider Cole Thompson will be on his home turf and it will be exciting to see how the youngster does on homegrown soil.

People buy alarms for houses and cars and maintain them. People buy dogs and run out and get help training them.
Then there are the people that don't care about maintenance or learning how to maintain - and that's why a system that just restores factory fresh with the touch of a coupe of buttons is the best option for them.
Frankly, as having been the "go to" family member to fix this crap - after 20 years, I'm sorta glad that they just reset their stuff and leave me alone.

SIAM Awards Outstanding Paper PrizesOctober 31, 2003
At the prize luncheon in Montreal, SIAM president Mac Hyman congratulated Stefan Henn (left) and Kristian Witsch (right) of the University of Düsseldorf. Their paper, "Iterative Multigrid Regularization Techniques for Image Matching," was published in SIAM Journal on Scientific Computing (Vol. 23, No. 4, 2001).
Each year since 1999, SIAM has awarded three prizes for outstanding papers published in SIAM journals. The field is narrowed only somewhat for the prize committee that has the daunting task of selecting the papers to be recognized: Papers must have been published during the three years preceding the award date, and younger authors are to be given preference. Otherwise, the committee simply looks for originality-whether in a paper that brings "a fresh look at an existing field" or in work that opens "new areas of applied mathematics." Pictured here are authors, at least one for each winning paper, of the 2003 prizes. The members of this year's committee were Paul Van Dooren (chair), C.T. Kelley, and SIAM vice president for publications Gregory A. Kriegsmann.
Johan Hastad of the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, received a SIAM Outstanding Paper Prize for "A Pseudorandom Generator from Any One-Way Function" (SIAM Journal on Computing, Vol. 18, No. 4, 1999), which he wrote with Russell Impagliazzo, University of California, San Diego; Leonid A. Levin, Boston University; and Michael Luby, Digital Fountain, Inc.
David D. Yao of Columbia University accepted an Outstanding Paper Prize on behalf of his co-authors, Shuzong Zhang and Xun Yu Zhou, both of Chinese University of Hong Kong. Their paper, "Stochastic Linear-Quadratic Control via Semi-definite Programming," appeared in SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization (Vol. 40, No. 3, 2001).

Law, Policy -- and IT?
Tracy Mitrano explores the intersection where higher education, the Internet and the world meet (and sometimes collide).
Google, Anti-Trust and the F.T.C.: Is It Time to Rethink Anti-Trust Law in the Age of the Internet?
In Commissioner Jon Leibowitz NYT quote is the salient point: "While not everything Google did was beneficial, on balance we did not believe that the evidence supported an F.T.C. challenge to this aspect of Google's business under American law." "Under American Law …"
January 4, 2013
In Commissioner Jon Leibowitz NYT quote is the salient point: "While not everything Google did was beneficial, on balance we did not believe that the evidence supported an F.T.C. challenge to this aspect of Google's business under American law." "Under American Law …"
Under American law, unlike European, monopoly power does not render an anti-trust claim. Intention use of unfair trade practices is the principal threshold. Microsoft, much reformed since the days of its anti-trust challenges, offers still the best example of old law applied to new businesses: the bundling of its Internet browser with its software to the exclusion of other browsers, and most important, with smoking gun emails that indicated intent through pressure on computer companies to be exclusive in their choice of that software tied to the expectation that this tactic would crush competition. It did. Netscape, the superior technology, lost market share to the point of extinction. And Microsoft, now much wizened from the experience, paid a price financially as well as in reputation.
American anti-trust law dates back to 1890 and the now famous Sherman Anti-trust Act. That Act has had a long and tangled history, not least because it was later used against workers' unions in their attempt to organize and bargain for better wages, hours and conditions. The question we have before us today, in light of the F.T.C.'s decision not to bring any actions against Google after its investigation from the administrative point of view (not the Department of Justice, by the way, which would be the agency to bring criminal actions) is: Does American law, defined in the industrial age at the turn of the last century, provide the necessary and sufficient tools to address "anti-trust" in the information age of the 21st Century?
Think Standard Oil, using every trick in the book -- legal and illegal -- to crush competition and consolidate power. Because the United States had three big car companies and the Depression shifted emphasis from big companies to a lacuna of economic activity to maintain stability overall, the most prominent industry in those years, automotive, skipped us a generation of anti-trust activity. Go next to AT&T -- and read Tim Wu's book if you are really curious -- to learn about the penultimate big one, that is the one before Microsoft. In each case, nota been, including Microsoft, it was about a product as well as a service with the emphasis on the former and the latter in a supporting role: gas stations for oil, telephone service for telephones and software for computers.
You can predict where I am going: the Internet and information economy flips the formula. The service -- search -- is the main game, and the product the outcome of the fundamental business driver. What makes the difference? The whole, search -- Google's principal business, is greater than the sum of its parts of the information economy: computers, network and communications companies, software that run the devices, social norms and business operations mediated through these technologies. The contours of U.S. anti-trust law do not address this flip exactly and the way in which money is made or power accrued in the Internet age.
That idea brings us back to basics. What is the social policy goal of anti-trust? Essentially, it is to preserve a free market defined as one where there is a minimum of competition. Competition acts in the name of the consumer to provide choice and to suppress price, as well as to continuously prime the pump of innovation and economic development. History demonstrated that a free market defined as one without government interference led to the emergence of powerful, exploitative gargantuan companies in railroads, oil or telecommunications. Government, in this case anti-trust law, broke up the "trusts" or cartels that fixed prices, offered the consumer no choice and kept the competition out of the marketplace. From the eighteenth to the twentieth century, government had shifted from the centralized powerful force (think Great Britain) to the referee of the new, great powerful corporations that, for all intents and purposes, dominated twentieth-century global society (think Roosevelt and Taft as "trust-busters"). It took F.D. Roosevelt and the Great Depression to create the foundations of "welfare capitalism" that brought labor reform and social services into the overall landscape of U.S. economy, society and politics.
Let us then set aside the specifics provisions of U.S. anti-trust law and ask the question anew: what impact does Google have on competition for Internet services in this country? Has it created a monolith of services -- search plus all of its other products and platforms -- or is the market still open to competition? How does the user, i.e. consumer, fare in this environment, better or worse in terms of choice, price and buying-power? How is the goal of a free market maintained, or not, in U.S. society by taking no action, especially since taking action can have the boomerang effect of inhibiting business development out of a fear of governmental restraint? At a more granular level the questions revolve around how and in what ways does a search algorithm function in the information economy? How does that function compare to the dynamics of an industrial economy. Do we need to revise the law to achieve the same goal: a free market in the twenty-first century?
These are the key questions. I do not know enough about anti-trust law or software or Internet economics to propose an answer. European countries do make market share actionable whereas U.S. law makes it only an evidentiary factor in the anti-competition analysis of anti-trust. I leave it to those more knowledgable than me to adjudge whether incorporating market share into the actionable range of U.S. law would make enough of a difference, or whether in this new economy it is a red-herring. All I know is that the F.T.C. finding yesterday in this one case should not be interpreted as the end, but rather the beginning of the discussion.

CBS Creates 'EyeLab' To Woo Web Surfers
CBS Corp. thinks Web surfers would rather watch a blooper reel from the sitcom "How I Met Your Mother" than an actual episode of the show.
To cater to what it believes is the short attention span of online audiences, the network today is launching CBS EyeLab, a digital-production studio that will create and distribute short clips cut together from the network's most popular shows.
At a time when its competitors are...

Anyone who has lived in SF long enough to remember the Dot Com boom knows that office space in the city once enjoyed a kind of movie star popularity. Potential tenants would outbid one another, offering wildly inflated monthly rent– if not a share in the profits and/or their first born children– to landlords.
But again, if we've been here long enough, we also know that boom busted, and now, together with a nationally busted economy, office space is more like a b-list celebrity. Frank Fudem, who represents SF tenants looking to negotiate commercial leases, also tracks commercial vacancies. His data show that these vacancies have increased from 3.6% in 2000 to 15.6% in 2009. His newsletter also includes a connection between empty office space and unemployment. To quote:
Net Absorption, the change in amount of space occupied from
one time period to the next, is a proxy for job growth. That is
why real estate is so fascinating: net absorption is an indicator
of what is happening to our job base, and consequently to our
economic base. It is important, and frankly alarming, to note that
9 Million Fewer Feet are occupied today than ten years ago.
Logically, we can see how closed offices, with no one working in them, correlates to people, once employed there, now out of work. And in fact, SF Gate reported that in December, the jobless rate for California was 12.4%, a number that is less than the actual rate, since "December's figure would have been even higher had not 107,000 Californians quit looking for work {in November} and thus fallen out of the calculations."
Ironically, this turn of events is also a blessing for those who want to rent office space. As Fudem points out, "The market is truly terrible… for landlords. However…..Present conditions provide a once-a-decade opportunity to lock in extraordinarily favorable terms." And with so many San Franciscans eager for jobs, those business owners should find no problem staffing their new spaces.
Of course, the city also has a reputation for imposing formidable red tape for businesses, including enforced health insurance, taxes, multiple permits, and fees aplenty. Perhaps then another benefit of so much vacant commercial space: San Francisco rethinks that red tape, or at least finds a way to help new business– and new employers– take advantage of the empty spaces opening up all over the city.

Can love at first sight ever really amount to much?
It's written in the stars. It's fate. It's utter bullshit—but this whole idea of a soul mate has a hold on a whole slew of people (yes, even you—Darrell) and this little tale I'm about to tell is either going to make you . . . . .
A. Gag
B. Swoon
C. Come to Jesus
D. Call your mother
E. All of the above
Natalie knows what she wants. This is clear from the bold way she dresses to her long, graying hair that's almost to the tipping point of making her look wicked. She's gorgeous when she opens her mouth to speak, but you may not notice her until you get a taste of that brain power.
You feel the presence of love in room when she speaks about her husband of twenty-eight years, Fredrick, "He's still the smartest man I know." He smiles and winks to no one in particular as he takes a sip of wine. He plays the compliment off so smoothly it's either they planned it or he's heard it so many times before that he knows the best way to play it off.
The rest of us in our small party are not nearly as in sync. I'm the single girl just shooting from the hip with no direction and way too many prospects. The other "couple" in our party is content with keeping everything NSA and (therefore) Nothing Specific Anyway. I cannot in good conscience say anything about my date (it's the whole bullshit thing about if you're not saying anything nice . . . .) And, we're having a great time of it. . . . .

Last Saturday night, I went to see the new movie "Fruitvale Station."
I cannot begin to tell you how powerful the story is. Michael B. Jordan (depicting Oscar Grant III) really captured what I call or consider the plight of the Black man. The main character was an African-American male who was killed by a policeman at the Fruitvale Bay Area Rapid Transit Station. Grant had some struggles in life and he definitely was not perfect. Grant had some previous run-ins with the law, but he was trying to get his life together. He was trying to stay on the right side of the law in efforts to stay out of jail and protect his family. What happened to Oscar Grant, being victimized and brutally murdered at the Fruitvale station, was unreasonable and simply uncalled for.
What I saw in the film was a Black man that was trying – trying to get his life together and trying to take care of his family. He had multiple demands on him in that he was expected to take care of his girlfriend and daughter, and also was responsible for providing some financial support to his sister. As an offender, I am sure he struggled to obtain and maintain gainful employment, which makes it difficult for one to support their family. What does a man do who cannot take care of or protect his family?
He becomes emasculated, less than, a failure, and broken down.
One of the things I learned over the years is that all behavior makes sense in context. What this means is that I can understand how Black men often find themselves in the very predicaments that they are in. In many ways the path that they (we) travel is rigged with potholes, bumps, glass bottles and deer running across the road. In many situations we have been set up to fail. We are have been chased, robbed, killed, fired, accused, victimized, and broken down into many pieces. These pieces have unfortunately not only hurt the Black man, the Black male's ego and the Black man's spirit, not to mention the Black male psyche, but it has also negatively impacted the Black family system.
While many people have negative things to say about Black men – how Black men are dogs, no good, deadbeat, or that they simply have no goals in life, there are many Black men that are trying to improve their lives. When I saw the film, I kept thinking about Trayvon Martin and the unnecessary killing that took place in Sanford, Fla. What bothers me the most is that regardless of what people may say, race is still an issue here in America. I myself would like to think that in a post-Obama world, anything and everything is possible for Black men. To a certain extent it is true, in that Black men can be anything they want to be. However, at the same time, Black men are and have always been an endangered species. We are constantly being taken away from our families and being lost to murder and/or the prison system. If we happen to escape death and end in prison, then we struggle to obtain and maintain gainful employment when we are released … the plight of the Black man.
Please make no mistakes about what I am saying. I am not in any way, shape, form, or fashion saying that Black men are perfect or that Black men are always innocent, because we are not. I am just saying that some Black men are out here in the world and trying to improve their lives. I am also saying that it is extremely difficult for Black men in America. I was just talking to one of my family members about this very thing. I am a Black man with a Ph.D., but who cares? At the end of the day, when I walk around, people see me as a Black man. Not only do they see a Black man, but they see a tall and dark skinned Black man. They prejudge me before I can even open my mouth. They automatically assume that they know me, and that I am nothing but an ignorant Black man. It does not matter that I have a Ph.D., because I am still a Black man in America.
We as Black men have to deal with a variety of things – driving while Black, walking while Black, eating while Black, sitting while Black, and sometimes in my case, even teaching while Black. If I listen to rap music, then I am a thug, if I drive a BMW (which I do) I am a drug dealer or I am doing something illegal. It makes me think of how I was always told by my grandmother to smile often when interacting with people of different races. She told me this to protect me, saying that people will automatically see me as a threat; as a tall, and perhaps angry, Black male. In order to set people at ease and not evoke fear in others, I am supposed to smile so that people see me as gentle, calm, and not aggressive. It is a shame that this lesson had to be taught in the first place, but it is something that I have come to understand more and more as I get older.
It is also a shame that Black women have to fear on a daily basis, that their beloved Black man may not make it home alive if they are pulled over by the police. I myself have been pulled over, for reasons I still do not know. I have been asked where I am coming from, where I am going, and what I am doing out driving at 10 p.m. at night. In one particular situation, I remember thinking in my head, "I did not know it was a crime to drive at night," but I simply replied, "I was working late in my office." Then I was interrogated and asked where I work. When I told the police officer, he acted as if he did not believe me, so I told him that I am willing to show my license and my faculty ID. I had to be very careful and had to make sure that the officer was aware that my license and ID was in my wallet, which was located in my right back pocket. I asked for permission to reach in my back pocket out of fear that I would be accused of having some type of weapon and innocently shot dead on the spot. These are the things that I and many other Black men have to deal with on a daily basis. It can be hard to be a Black male in America as we carry extra-burdens in life that others may not have.
At the end of the day, I think the movie "Fruitvale Station" is a must see, for all Americans regardless of race. It is a reminder that while there have been some improvements in race relations, we have a long way to go before we can say that things are equal in our society. The movie made me feel a variety of emotions, but most of all the feeling that I had was sadness –sadness for Oscar Grant and his family, sadness for Trayvon Martin and his family, sadness for all Black men and Black families, but hopefully one day we shall overcome. I remember walking out of the theater thinking, "Black men are truly an endangered species." I do not know what else to say – the plight of the Black man. Need I say Moore?

The sister of a missing mother of one from Kokomo, Ind., says she fears for her sister's safety and is appealing to the public for help.
The missing woman, Kelly Armstrong, 27, has not been seen for about six weeks, said her sister, Shelly Rush of Logansport.
"We have gone several weeks in the past without talking, so I thought maybe she is just doing her thing, working, whatever," Rush told The Huffington Post. "But as time went on with no contact, I realized something was wrong."
Armstrong and her boyfriend, Travis Funke, live together with their eighteen-month-old child. According to Rush, she has reached out to Funke several times but has been unable to get a definitive answer as to her sister's whereabouts.
"Her boyfriend always has an excuse," Rush said. "He will say she is out and about with so-and-so, and he can't get a hold of them, or that she is working, but he's not sure where. It is a different answer every time."
After visiting her sister's local hangouts and talking to her friends and neighbors, Rush came to the conclusion that nobody has seen Armstrong in about six weeks. Rush said that she sent the Kokomo Police Department to her sister's home to conduct a welfare check. When they were unable to make contact with Armstrong, Rush filed a missing person report.
"The police are over there now waiting on a search warrant because he is not answering the phone or door and they have a one-and-a-half-year-old baby," she said. "They're trying to figure out, because he is on house arrest, where he could have gone."
Calls made today by The Huffington Post to a number listed for Armstrong and Funke went unanswered.
Kokomo police declined to discuss the case.
"I don't have any information for you at all. I can't confirm anything at this point," Officer Dave Trine told The Huffington Post.
Armstrong has auburn hair and brown eyes. She is 5'2" tall and weighs approximately 120 pounds.
"My sister is very loved and missed," Rush said. "She is not one to go this long without reaching out to her family."
Anyone with information is asked to contact Kokomo police at 765-459-5101.

Farmers in the Vale have thankfully not been flooded to the extent of those in Somerset, but drive along any road here and you can see sodden fields.
At this time of year most livestock is indoors, but for arable farmers, there is concern that continual rain could eventually rot crops already in the ground if it goes on for long enough.
Agricultural contractor Pete Gollins who works for 200 farmers in a 25 mile radius from his yard in Ford, said: "Crops that are continually covered in water for three weeks will start to rot because they can't breathe."
Mr Gollins' own yard is currently flooded, with £1 million worth of machinery including 13 tractors, combines, balers, cultivators, drills and trailers standing in water.
He said: "It doesn't do the machinery any good to be under water.
"I've been here 30 years and I've never seen it so bad.
"There is a brook running through the yard and I offered to clean it 10 years ago and I was told I couldn't because it was against the policy of the environment.
"They want to see voles in the brooks so don't want to destroy their habitat and the rushes.
"So the waterways don't get cleaned out and it slows the water down.
"But there is a price to pay for that and the farmers and now the general public, whose homes are being flooded, are paying the price."
In a bid to help suffering householders Mr Gollins and his colleague Steve Miles used one of their slurry tankers to pump water out of a house in Towersey last week which had been seriously flooded on the ground floor.

Over twenty years ago, First Lady Nancy Reagan (and God Bless Ronnie who will always be My President), re-opened the crown of the Statue of Liberty on its 100th birthday.
Today is another momentous day in the history of Lady Liberty, New York City and the Nation. After 9/11, the crown was closed due to fear of terrorist actions. Today the crown re-opens.
Let Freedom Ring!
I have to confess that every time I see Lady Liberty, I get choked up. My family didn't come through Ellis Island, but the Statue is no less a symbol of freedom for me. A light that shines for those who come here for freedoms denied them elsewhere. For opportunities for a better way of life.
When my friends and I decided to start a new writing group (www.libertystatesfictionwriters.com), one where people would have the freedom to write in all fiction genres and in all formats, we all had one common image in mind to represent the group – The Statue of Liberty. It means that much to so many people.
So, let Lady Liberty shine brightly and send her message far and wide. Let Freedom Ring!

It's less than eight months after General Motors rose from its Chapter 11 ashes and the auto maker's board of directors already has taken on a decidedly different look.
And all without single change among its 12 members.
Thanks to Ed Whitacre's assumption of full-time CEO duties a month ago and this week's move to firmly ensconce former Wall Street analyst Stephen Girsky among the ranks of management as vice chairman-corporate strategy and business development, GM's board of directors no longer appears all that independent.
When the board was formed back in June with the U.S. government's blessing, it had the look of a tenacious watchdog, with outsiders such as Whitacre and Girsky expected to keep a very separate GM management, led by Fritz Henderson, in line and on track.
The setup was seen solving one of the problems blamed for the auto maker's downfall during Rick Wagoner's reign – a too cozy relationship between the board of directors and the CEO.
Now with the board chairman and top executive once again one and the same, and two of the directors' chairs filled by management, GM's board is beginning to take on a familiar look that's a tad more cheerleader and a little less gatekeeper.
That doesn't mean management won't make all the right moves or that GM won't go on to prosper in a recovering U.S. auto market.
But it does bring corporate governance – or at least the public perception of corporate governance – back into question.
And for taxpayers simply hoping to break even on a multi-billion-dollar investment most didn't want to make, it may beg the question, who's looking out for the stockholders now?

2004 New Schnitzel Team Series 134
This all around shape's well balanced riding characteristics are based on NEW's exclusive four channel pattern developed by Hardy Tunnissen. Yet, it is definitely not your average entry-level board. On this board Bio Seidler schooled the competition at the European Championships in 2002 as Eva Koch did in 2003, the year that Bio won the junior men World Championships in Australia. This genuine channel pattern allows for more edge hold and better tracking no matter if you're just carving around or pulling a massive invert. The smooth outline of this shape helps you to avoid over-aggressive reactions from your board, especially on blind landings while the flat spot gives you that much sought after pop off the wake when riding behind the boat. The continous rocker of this special shape makes edging all the way through the wake easier than you can imagine. Our 1.7" fiberglass fins that come with the board support all the above characteristics: Good tracking when you need it and loose enough to not let you eat it!
We take the standards set by our glass series and take them to the next level replacing glass with carbon laminates! More edging power than you can imagine combined with the weight advantages of carbon for insane lift at the cable.
