Editor's letter
Insecure by design?
On the face of it, there isnt a strong relationship between the concept of information security and the ideal of a KM culture. The one discipline is focused on maintaining the integrity of information and making sure that it is only seen by the right people, while the other is about persuading the staff to share knowledge more freely, making the organisation more efficient, productive and competitive.
But a deeper examination indicates a closer relationship. Take our news story on page eight, for example, about the internet-service provider that was hacked by a spam gang. The company, it transpires, was informed about a serious problem with its online e-mail system by its own customers, four days before it identified the problem.
What difference could it have made if the customer-service representatives and help-desk staff had been able encouraged, perhaps to share this information with technical and security staff earlier? The problem could have been dealt with more quickly and the fallout from the incident contained.
Front-line staff, equally, would have been able to see for themselves the crucial role that they play as the organisations eyes and ears. Likewise, our Last word opinion article, which was penned by an identity-fraud specialist. The key to the problem of identity theft and identity fraud, is that the organisations that demand and keep our personal information do not make enough effort to keep it to themselves.
Knowledge sharing, in this context, is not necessarily good or helpful. However, the theft of information from a company normally indicates an organisational shortcoming somewhere along the line often one that someone has seen, but not considered to be their job or their business to intervene in.
Yet a knowledge-sharing culture is all about staff sharing what they know for the greater good and that could be something as trivial as a less-than-satisfactory encounter with their own organisation as a customer, for example, or the organisation simply not measuring up to known best practices.
In the past, such people might have been thought of as awkward. But in todays complex world, they need to be persuaded to come forward and share what they know. KM culture is in everybodys best interests.

Mass of the Christian Burial for Marcus Bahige, infant son of Bertine and Amanda (Hays) Bahige, will be at 2 p.m. Monday, Dec. 31, 2012, at St. Matthew's Catholic Church in Gillette, Wyo., with Father Cliff Jacobson as celebrant.
Interment will follow at Mt. Pisgah Cemetery.
Visitation will be from 5 to 7 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 30, 2012, with a vigil to follow at 7 p.m. at Walker Funeral Home in Gillette.
Marcus Daniel Bahige was born May 1, 2012, in Gillette, Wyo.
Marcus passed away on Sunday, Dec. 23, 2012. His family was blessed to have nearly eight months of beautiful, happy memories.
Marcus loved and adored his big sister Gigi. He spent his time following her with his eyes, and more recently, crawling after her. Marcus had a big, bright smile with two teeth, and never failed to return a smile, even to a stranger.
He loved watching soccer and football with his daddy, and had a soft spot for his mommy — bouncing with excitement every time she entered the room.
He spent his days in the loving arms of his grandma, who watched him while his parents were working. Marcus loved being in the car, and one of his family's favorite memories is a road trip to Oregon and Washington with his parents, sister and Uncle Andrew.
Marcus is survived by his parents; his sister, Giselle "Gigi" Bahige; aunts, Angela (Kelton) Claggett, Melanie and Alli Hays; uncles, Andrew and Timmy Hays; maternal grandparents, Dan and Wendy Hays; maternal great-grandparents, John and Evelyn Rothleutner, and Bill and Verna Hays, all of Gillette; paternal grandparents, Galen and Delia Careym and uncles Joaquine and Fidel Carey of Columbia, Md.; paternal great-grandparents, Bob and Althea Carey of Abilene, Kan.; and a host of extended family who thought the world of him.
Memorials and condolences may be sent in Marcus's name in care of Walker Funeral Home, 410 Medical Arts Court, Gillette, WY 82716. Condolences may also be sent via the website www.walkerfuneralhome.com.
To the Bahige family, I don't know you but I know the pain you are feeling. I lost a daughter about the same age. You are in my prayers and I pray you will find solace in the knowledge that your beautiful little one will find many loving arms awaiting him in heaven. You will meet again someday and until then may you have the strength and faith to continue on.

Close buyer's pack
IMPORTANT! Insurance is not automatic and must be activated by calling 0844 338 6950 with the details below within 7 days of buying the bike in order to benefit from this free service. No claims can otherwise be made.
When you call you will be asked for:
Once you've completed the call you can enjoy 7 days of cover for your bike, absolutely free.
Lines are open 8.30am-8pm Mon-Friday, 9am-5pm Saturday, and 10am-4pm Sunday.
This 7 day free insurance product is provided by: MCE, a division of M.C.Edwards (Insurance Brokers) Ltd, Crown Way, Rushden, Northamptonshire, NN10 6BS, who are regulated by the Financial Services Authority.NOTABLE EXCLUSIONS:Please note that unfortunately this free policy cannot be offered on the below bikes:
Please also note that while this offer is applicable to everyone of 18 years of age, or older, MCE reserve the right to decline insurance to applicants of significantly above average risk (for example where numerous serious convictions have been declared.)
Provides the 7 Day insurance.
This policy is especially designed to let you quickly insure a bike you've just bought, allowing you to legally ride-away your new purchase instantly (assuming the bike has valid tax & MOT).
The free policy is subject to terms and conditions which will be provided at the time of redemption, and is only valid for machines advertised on MCN. For full terms and conditionssee MCN website
For total peace of mind, visit www.mcnbikecheck.co.uk to make sure this bike:
Visit now, and get the results to the above instantly, and with £30,000 worth of insurance against incomplete data being supplied
Bike make and model:
Registration number:
Does the bike's vehicle identification number (VIN) match the VIN shown on the V5 document? Yes No
Registration Document completed by seller and slip detached for buyer? Yes No
Agreed purchase price:
The undersigned purchaser acknowledges receipt of the above vehicle in exchange for the sum above being the price agreed by the purchaser with the vendor for the above named vehicle, receipt of which the vendor hereby acknowledges.
Purchaser signature:
Vendor signature:
Before viewing, find out as much a possible about the model of the bike you are looking to buy then, when viewing (or before, over the telephone) check the bike you are interested in is the correct specification.
When buying second-hand always ensure that the vehicle you're viewing is the property of the seller and not been stolen. Privately advertised road-legal motorcycles advertised on motorcyclenews.com have been theft-checked at the time they were first advertised. However, a full history check will also identify whether the given vehicle has been reported as an insurance write-off, has any outstanding finance or has mileage inconsistencies. You can do your own history check, using MCN BikeCheck – www.mcnbikecheck.co.uk. This will protect you and give you current information on the vehicle concerned. However, this check cannot confirm ownership details – it can only confirm the status of the vehicle with the given registration number – there's no guarantee the bike you're viewing hasn't got a false number plate. For maximum peace of mind do your own check after viewing the bike and its documents.
When buying privately do your research on the seller as well as the vehicle. Get a landline telephone number rather than a mobile (but you should be aware that it could be for a public telephone box or might transfer to another phone) and always meet any private seller at their home address. Check, too, that the address given on the bike's V5c registration document is the same address and be sure that the seller actually resides there. If you still feel unhappy in any way trust your instincts and walk away.
Check that the vehicle identification number (VIN) matches that on the documents and has not been tampered with. The motorcycle VIN is the number stamped into the frame, often near the headstock. The VIN is a unique identification number for every motorcycle manufactured. A registration number, by comparison, can be altered and may appear on different vehicles over a period of time, but the VIN is a constant throughout its lifetime. The VIN will be documented on the V5c registration certificate issued by the DVLA or DVLNI, and is also usually in the service book. For motorcycles manufactured after 1980 it will usually be 17 digits long.
Be very wary if there are any signs that the VIN has been tampered with or removed. It is common for numbers to be amended, i.e. 5s and 3s to be amended to 8s etc.
Ensure, too, that the vehicle registration document (V5c) has not been tampered with and is watermarked. Compare the document with another V5c or look at the V5c for your own vehicle. Check the V5c is not stolen. For further information please see the DVLA website
Do not buy a vehicle if the seller cannot produce the vehicle registration document (V5c) plus, ideally, supporting documentation such as MoT certificates. Ideally, check that any MoT certificate is valid (at www.motinfo.gov.uk, you will need the Test Number from the MoT certificate to do this). This check may also show the mileage recorded at past MoT tests so you can check that this tallies with the bike's current indicated mileage. Check also the bike's handbooks to confirm service history. If possible call the dealer whose stamp appears on the last service in the service book. Explain why you're ringing and ask the service department to confirm that the work was done.
Consider having the vehicle professionally examined before you buy, either through a motoring association, private company or garage.
There are different ways you can pay for a bike – cash, cheque, banker's draft, bank transfer or ESCROW. Choose the method that works for you but be aware of the potential dangers. Be very careful about how and where the hand over of the cash/vehicle takes place. Remember: it is dangerous carrying cash, especially when meeting a stranger, so use your common sense and always have someone with you. Cash, cheques and banker's drafts can be forged or counterfeit and your seller is advised not to accept these. NEVER pay using a money transfer company such as Western Union or Moneygram – these exist for transferring money between people who know each other. An immediate bank transfer can be made using the CHAPS system for a nominal fee, (£20-£30). Consider meeting the buyer at your bank and completing the transaction there. CHAPS payments are irrevocable. ESCROW is safe way of paying for a vehicle but make sure that the company is registered with HMRC - ESCROW or Shipping web sites can be bogus and set up by fraudsters. See the Metropolitan Police Fraud Alert web pages about money transfer, cashback and ESCROW.

MCN Editor Andy Calton gives his top tips for buying a bike:
Does the seller have both original sets of keys?
Have you checked the bike for rust, cracks and evidence of repair work?
Have you checked for any evidence of accident damage, scratches and dents?
Turn on the ignition to check the engine starts properly and doesn't smoke, that the clutch doesn't slip, and there are no leaks under the bike.
Get a test ride if you can. The seller should let you if you leave some security or if your friend stays behind. Check gears, suspension and brake operation and all that all the electrics are working satisfactorily.
Make sure the bike will start from cold. It's common for sellers to warm an engine in advance, so call and ask them not to. Not only will you hear rattles more clearly, but you can check that the choke mechanism works and that the battery is in good condition.
Check the chain is in good condition, properly lubricated and the rear sprocket isn't damaged.
Check the mileage is consistent with the bike's age and condition – i.e. well worn foot pegs on a low mileage machine should set your alarm bells ringing.
Check the bike's logbook to verify matching frame and engine numbers. If they don't match then the bike has been rebuilt after an accident or stolen.
Check the machine's symmetry. Are handlebars straight and well balanced? Is the chassis well balanced? Are the mirrors bent? If anything looks significantly out of shape it could indicate a serious accident.
Has the bike been raced? Drill holes through bolt heads, tyres with roughed-up edges (covered with ragged rubber in some cases) and heavy-duty aftermarket engine covers are all sure signs of racing history and/or accident damage. If there is evidence of racing then the price should reflect that.
Check the MoT certificate is real at http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/ and make sure you have seen the V5 and all other relevant paperwork - service book, bills for services etc.
What aftermarket parts does the bike have? If there is an aftermarket exhaust is it road legal?
Have the aftermarket modifications affected the insurance premium?
Are the original tools still under the seat?
If the bike originally came with a seat cowl, does the seller still have it?
If the bike has an aftermarket replacement screen, does the seller still have the original?
For the price of a round of drinks you can buy peace of mind by running a comprehensive history check against the bike. Make sure the machine you're about to buy doesn't have outstanding finance against it, has not been written off, or hasn't been clocked. As one in eight of all bikes checked have been written off, it's just not worth the risk buying without one! See www.mcnbikecheck.com for more info.
Trust your gut instincts. If you've done all these checks and are still not happy, walk away!
Looking to sell your current bike? If you have a current bike, which you're planning to sell, have you considered selling privately with MCN? 9 out of 10 sellers on MCN get their asking price or very close to it, and with adverts starting at just £13.99 for the UK's best print AND online exposure, there really is no better place to sell. And as a special thank-you for viewing this buyer's pack you can save 10% off any advertising package using discount code MCNBP12 (enter this when prompted at checkout). See what other users have to say about selling on MCN, or find out more about selling.

In 1889, Pioneer Libby Smith (age 16) was captured by a tribe of Native Americans and was forced into a tribal death-game called "the gauntlet." After surviving a near-fatal tomahawk to the head, Libby later became famous as an integral part of the "77" - a renegade vigilante group who helped protect the settlers of Montana. Using soft dusty leathers with faux-spats & buttons on a 2.5" Fellowship-hi heel and tunite Bellevue sole, this zipped calf-high boot is sure to get you through the Gauntlet in one piece.

GM may use diesels in light-duty pickups
GM will launch redesigned versions of its full-sized pickups next year. The 2012 GMC Sierra is shown.
General Motors is considering a diesel engine for light-duty versions of its redesigned full-sized pickups.
GM North America President Mark Reuss said in an interview that a diesel is among the options for the next-generation Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, which are due in showrooms next spring.
Chrysler Group recently said it is considering a diesel for its light-duty Ram. Ford Motor Co. has no plans for a light-duty diesel, a spokesman said, adding that Ford's EcoBoost V6 engine is a less expensive option to save fuel and will be "our diesel fighter."
Speculation abounds that GM, smarting from Ford's success with the EcoBoost V6 on its F-series pickups, will counter with a turbocharged V6 on the redesigned trucks. But Reuss implied GM will go a different route.
"I wouldn't say that's a huge priority," Reuss said. "I think there are other answers to that--which they don't have--for us that make a lot more sense."
He was referring to GM's two-pronged strategy of offering a mid-sized pickup, the next-generation Chevrolet Colorado, alongside the Silverado and Sierra. Ford phased out its compact Ranger pickup last year and will stick with the F-series as its only pickup line.
Reuss believes the full-sized pickup can't be all things to all customers. Fuel economy often isn't a top priority for construction workers or ranchers who rely on their pickups for a living, he figures.
By offering a mid-sized Colorado, Reuss says, GM will have its shot at fuel-conscious buyers "and still keep that Silverado and Sierra as workhorses."

Volunteer opportunity
Volunteer opportunity posted by: Both Ends Burning
Posted on: January 31, 2013
Both Ends Burning Campaign is fighting to reverse the declining trend line in International Adoptions. We've produced an award-winning documentary, STUCK, exposing this social tragedy.
Beginning March 1, we are going on the road and premiering STUCK in 60 cities over 78 days. We will be in Houston, TX on March 13 and in order for this to be successful we need your help!
In each city, we're planning a full day of activities including media appearances and a variety of speaking engagements. In the evening we will have a pre-premiere party, premiere followed by a Q and A, led by distinguished leaders in the adoption community. Our goal is to raise awareness and mobilize people to support reform for international adoption.
To maximize this unique opportunity, we need passionate and committed volunteers in the 60 cities where the film will premiere.
Please take a look at our website (http://bothendsburning.org/events/) and see which volunteer opportunity might be right for you!

News & Analysis
MIPS architecture is seldom been used in Embedded system as I know in China. ...
software grunt
If I read this right they won't "kill" MIPS outright but the IP licensing biz ...
Ceva bids for MIPS
Peter Clarke
LONDON – Ceva, a DSP IP licensor, has offered $75 million in cash for processor IP licensor MIPS Technologies in an attempt to outbid GPU licensing company Imagination Technologies.
MIPS (Sunnyvale, Calif.) announced on Nov. 5 that Imagination would acquire outstanding MIPS shares for $60 million in cash following the completion of the proposed patent sale transaction with Bridge Crossing.
The competing bid by Ceva (Mountain View, Calif.) is reportedly structured along the same lines as Imagination's (Kings Langley, England). That bid calls for a large proportion of the MIPS patent portfolio to be sold to Bridge Crossing for about $350 million. Ceva has valued the remainder of MIPS at a 25 percent higher value than Imagination did in its bid. The Ceva proposal is still subject to the approval of its board of directors and due diligence, MIPS said.
Ceva has emerged as one of the beneficiaries of the changing mobile handset IC market. With more than $150 million cash on hand earlier this year, the company was talking about expanding its customer base and diversifying its revenue sources.
MIPS said its board is evaluating Ceva's proposal before deciding which offer to accept. It said it is now in discussions with Ceva.
Ceva's DSP cores complement MIPS' architecture processors, but in ways that differ from Imagination's graphics cores that are used alongside MIPS processors. For example, Ceva and MIPS cores are often used together in home entertainment systems, although Ceva has also been successful in mobile communications applications where MIPS cores are rarely found.

For that a piddly sum of cash if I were Broadcom I would buy them just to put the competition out of business quickly
software grunt
If I read this right they won't "kill" MIPS outright but the IP licensing biz will surely be dead? Who is going to license MIPS cores from a major chip competitor? They may continue to issue "MIPS architecture licenses" for those who design their own MIPS cores.
That will lead to dilution of the MIPS software ecosystem with multiple proprietary cores which each require different tweaks for software to run on them. This is exactly why Linaro was created for ARM to reduce that problem. For example they are working on a single linux kernel that runs on multiple vendors' ARM-based cpus.
Broadcom and others could have bought MIPS back in early 2000's when the stock price was as low as $1.25 per share but they wanted MIPS to remain an independent IP company not controlled by one vendor. The reason companies license a core instead of designing their own proprietary core is to exploit a proven architecture and its software ecosystem. Also reduces training cost because you can readily find engineers who already know that architecture. Same reasons you license a RTOS instead of creating your own. But if its controlled by your competitor you won't use it. And if only one company uses it the software ecosystem won't build up critical mass.
Like I said before MIPS won't die but it won't be a major widely known cpu architecture anymore. It will become lesser known like PowerPC. See my previous comments about why MIPS lost to ARM at end of this article:
It's all about the software people, not the hardware.
MIPS architecture is seldom been used in Embedded system as I know in China. Comparing with ARM, it lag behind much.
It is not a bad thing to be purchased. I plan to obtain some information about MIPS to learn, now I change my mind.

Lunch Box Memories
Do you remember your favorite lunch box? Today's kids have as many options as ever but nothing will take the place of the Partridge Family or Scooby-Doo.
Lunch boxes have changed in design and shape over the years, but the basic idea is the same. Along with space inside for a cold drink, sandwich and snack, the cover is devoted to a favorite cartoon, character, TV show or movie.
That's why Justin Bieber and Darth Vader and Japanese cartoon characters are staring out at shoppers from the shelves of Target.
Back in the '70s, the lunch boxes were aluminum. In the '80s, they gave way to plastic. Vintage lunch boxes now are highly collectible. They are displayed as collections in people's homes, and sometimes they get their own art gallery shows. (Yes, I've gone to one.)
Do you remember a favorite lunch box? What was it? Have a picture handy? Share it with Patch!

Two Sense: Enough With the Dirty Talk
My boyfriend and I have been talking dirty in bed for two years now. I've never had a problem with it, but lately I'm finding that I don't enjoy it as much, and sometimes I even want to tell him to stop and just have sex without the verbal part. I haven't said anything to him because I don't understand my feelings myself. I'm not sure if my sexual needs are just changing or if I want to decrease the dirty talk because we are getting more serious and I want to feel respected, the way a husband would respect a wife, as opposed to "dirty," the way one casual lover might see another. I know I must have some hang-up going on but I can't put my finger on it and I don't know what to say to my boyfriend.

Forecasts showing that the Detroit Three automakers will run out of production capacity in North America over the next two years boosts the CAW's hand at the contract negotiating table, a senior analyst at the Center for Automotive Research (CAR) said Wednesday.
"How seriously can you take the Detroit Three threat to close plants unless they get the same flexibility and wage costs they have in the U.S. when to go elsewhere will mean spending $1.5 billion for a new assembly plant?" said Sean McAlinden, chief economist at CAR, an industry research think tank based in Ann Arbor, Mich. "That's a lot more money than paying 21,000 Canadian workers a little more."
If the U.S. and Canadian markets continue to improve, CAR's analysis shows that General Motors will run out of capacity for pickup truck production in 2014, while Ford and Chrysler will run out of production capacity for passenger cars and crossover vehicles in 2015, "even with overtime and extra shifts."
In Canada, all three carmakers have unused floor space at their Ontario operations. Chrysler, for example, runs a two-shift operation at its Brampton plant, which assembles the Chrysler 300 and Dodge Challenger and Charger sedans.
Ford runs a two-shift operation, which builds the Ford Edge, Flex, Lincoln MKX and MKT. Ford also has unused capacity at its engine plants in Windsor.
General Motors' Oshawa complex will close its consolidated line next year, affecting 2,000 jobs, and will be left with its flex line, which handles the Chevrolet Camaro muscle car and Buick Regal mid-size sedan.
While the carmakers are pressing the CAW to match and lower labour costs to be in line with those at UAW plants, the union says the Detroit Three could maximize competitiveness on this side of the border by fully utilizing their Canadian plants.
"If capacity is required, we have enough floor space," said CAW president Ken Lewenza. "Increase capacity and labour costs come down."
CAR predicts U.S. vehicle sales will reach 13.9 million units this year, 14.4 million in 2013, 15.2 million in 2014 and 15.9 in 2016.
That's a sharp recovery for an industry that saw plant utilization plunge to below 50 per cent during the 2008-09 economic crisis.
Prior to the crisis, the Canadian and U.S. market supported about 17 million vehicle sales a year before plunging to an annual rate of 10 million in 2008.
A record number of new vehicle launches also will put pressure on carmakers to add production, said McAlinden.
Though he would not comment on CAW-Detroit Three bargaining, Mark Nantais, president of the Canadian Vehicle Manufacturers' Association, said car companies are more inclined to add shifts and overtime instead of new plants to meet rising demand.
Rising sales bode well for Canadian operations, he added.
"That is something which from a production standpoint is a desirable thing. You want to achieve the highest possible utilization of plants because of efficiencies that exist."

United States: US Equipped to Grow Serious Amounts of Pond Scum for Fuel
A new analysis shows that the nation's land and water resources could likely support the growth of enough algae to produce up to 25 billion gallons of algae-based fuel a year in the United States, one-twelfth of the country's yearly needs. The findings come from an in-depth look at the water resources that would be needed to grow significant amounts of algae in large, specially built shallow ponds. The results were published in the May 7 issue of Environmental Science and Technology, published by the American Chemical Society.
United States: Poll: 87 Percent of Illinois Voters Want More Renewable Energy
Wide majorities of likely Illinois voters believe it is important that the state maintain its commitment to increase its use of renewable energy and support legislation that would achieve that goal by fixing the state's broken renewable portfolio standard (RPS) law, according to a Zogby poll released this week.
United States: Breakdown: Penetration of Renewable Energy in Selected Markets
The penetration of renewable energy into the electricity supply mix has been much in the news recently. During the first quarter, Portugal generated three-quarters of its electricity with renewable energy. Meanwhile, in Germany, one-fifth of all electricity was generated with renewables, most of that from new sources of renewable energy, such as wind and solar. And recently, at a conference in San Francisco, attendees heard calls for generating not just 100 percent of electricity supply with renewable energy, but far more — 200 percent to 300 percent of generation — in order to meet the need for heating, cooling, and transportation as well.

School Board Copyright Policy Raising Eyebrows
But, a school board member assures the public the proposal was pulled and will be reworked with public input taken into consideration.
Local listservs have been heating up with Prince George's County parents voicing concerns about a school board policy change that would allow the district to own the copyright on student work. The Washington Post recently reported the proposal introduced at a Jan. 24 board meeting as something that could be approved as is, but school board members say that isn't true. Board member Peggy Higgins (Dist. 2) said the board heard parents' concerns and pulled the policy to rework it before the Post published its article. "It is through [the first read process] that the problems regarding this policy's proposed language became clear and the proposed policy was pulled in order to be reworked," Higgins wrote in an email to a Riverdale Park …

So who thought this stuff up? How many millions of dollars are generated from children's scribbling with crayons in public schools? Wasted effort, wasted time and money endlessly debating the placement of more and more laws and other restrictive regulations. Why not spend the money on a top-rate, solid education for our children? How in the hell did the rest of us ever gain an education in the …   more ›

French Quarter Phantoms
- French Quarter
In a neighborhood rich with African-American and jazz history, guides explore the sites of civil-rights events and musical inspiration
Recommended Tours by Groupon Customers
Devoted to preserving Cajun culture by sharing it with the public, Cajun Pride Tours' knowledgeable and passionate guides lead groups on tours that explore area swamps, plantations along the Great Mississippi River Road, and the historic districts of New Orleans. They also stroll along city streets in the French Quarter in New Orleans, the Garden District, and areas that display the lingering effects of Hurricane Katrina. On boat trips, groups can spot friendly gators while floating through the Manchac Swamp—a protected area that prohibits any hunting, fishing, or tickling of the native wildlife. A short drive past the swamps drops tourists off near the area's plantations that are notable for their history, architecture, landscaping, and insight into Creole culture.
Today, Bocage Plantation's eight white columns and grand staircase gleam in the afternoon sun just steps from the Mississippi River. But the 175-year-old Greek Revival mansion hasn't always looked this dapper. When Louisiana native Dr. Marion Rundell purchased the property in 2008, he supervised a careful restoration before beginning the mansion's first public tours. The pathologist also decorated its interior with antiques and furniture from his personal collection, including Baccarat and Waterford chandeliers, old Paris porcelain vases, and paintings by Thomas Sully and Rembrandt Peale. A bed and breakfast with four rooms allows guests to bask in period atmosphere overnight.
The history of Bocage Plantation dates back to 1837, when wealthy planter Marius Pons Bringier had it built for his daughter and son-in-law. Architect James Dakin—best known for creating Baton Rouge's former state capitol building—designed the mansion, which now graces the National Register of Historic Places. The Bocage Plantations belongs to the prestigious group of Greek Revival and Creole plantations located along River Road, between New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
Whether your tire-turning extremities are located at home, at a hotel, or in a docked zeppelin cabin over the river, Big Easy Bike Tours will deliver the bicycle(s) to you and up to four of your cycling teammates almost anywhere in the city. All tours begin back in 1718 with sightseeing and narrated soundseeing throughout the French Quarter. From there, there is a spork in the road where you can choose between three touring fates. The first, Neighborhoods and Lower 9th Ward, takes a path past green homes built by Global Green after Hurricane Katrina, visits the levee and explains what led to its failure, and passes through St. Roch and Treme. The second journey lands you on the Esplanade Avenue of the Creoles, exploring Bayou St. John and the history of New Orleans cemeteries, European settlers, and early New Orleanians' struggles to colonize the undomesticated flavors of crawfish étouffée within its wild habitat. After pedaling through City Park and observing the Museum of Art and Botanical Gardens, you finish cruising through Mid-City. The final option, a tour of the American Sector and the Garden District, details some of the architecture, universities, and finest fine arts found in New Orleans.
After Frankie Cheek discovered segway tours while visiting Italy, he decided to start his own company in his native New Orleans. When he was boarding a plane back home, Hurricane Katrina struck, redirecting him to Louisiana's grandfather country: France. While exploring Paris in the wake of the devastating tragedy back home, Cheek drew inspiration for his future segway tours—he was resolved, according to his website, to "help a city rich in history move forward while riding the most high-tech transporter available." Since returning to New Orleans, he's led daily segway adventures, whirring groups of sightseers around the French Quarter, the riverfront, and Jackson Square with the ease, maneuverability, and safety-minded attitude of a cool biker gang. Plus, through a partnership with other tour companies, Cheek can also guide guests through swamps, plantations, and supposedly haunted locales.
Stray Boots Urban Games is an interactive tour that sets friends and family members loose on an exhilarating, knowledge-fueled undertaking guided by text-message clues, trivia, and riddles. They operate in cities across the country, dividing them into special game zones that contain the historical sites, local areas of interest, or eccentric child mayors unique to each city. During the explorations, clues point the way to cultural hot spots, which Stray Boots communicates to players via text message. At least one player on the team will need a U.S. cell phone to receive clues, and none of the self-guided tours require previous knowledge of the city. Adventurers play at their own pace—most zones take two to three hours to finish—which allows them to spend more time learning about the city and photographing vibrant fire hydrants for aquacentric scrapbooks.
Winding through the cobblestone streets of various New Orleans neighborhoods, knowledgeable guides lead groups through notoriously haunted and historic spots during 2-hour walking tours. Each tour guide possesses experience with and/or passion for the occult and New Orleans history, and the fleet includes the founder of the New Orleans Paranormal & Occult society, as well as a member of the Louisiana Historical Society. With tours running daily, the meanderings whisk guests past real voodoo altars during the voodoo tour, or into the world of the undead with a vampire tour. Guests can eschew the spooks with a Garden tour or a cemetery tour that focuses on the neighborhoods' history and inability to sleep with the lights off.

UK bank Natwest releases Windows Phone app, boasting a solid feature set
Natwest has released an app for Windows Phone. Owned by the Royal Bank of Scotland, the UK bank was confirmed to be working on an app for Microsoft's mobile platform along with its parent. The mobile banking app is a gateway for account holders to travel through to manage accounts while on the go. Has the wait been worth it?
First impressions are positive. The official app looks like a well-developed offering that integrates well into the Windows Phone experience with a clear focus on typography. Utilising the Natwest colour palette, the official app offers functionality that one would expect to see in such a solution.
So what about features? What can Natwest customers do with this Windows Phone app? From the app description:
- View your transaction history for most of your accounts, search for historical transactions on your current accounts and savings accounts
- Get Cash from NatWest, RBS or Tesco cash machines without a debit card
- Send money to NatWest Mobile Banking customers that use this app – all you need is their mobile number
- Pay bills or people – just set up and make your first payment in Online Banking beforehand
- Transfer funds between your accounts
- Find your nearest cash machine or local branch
- Top up your pay as you go mobile phone and up to four others (service not available on the 3 network).
That's quite an offering, and one that Windows Phone desperately needs. To begin and set up your account in the app, you'll need your online banking customer number, some personal details and your debit card. Once submitted, Natwest will confirm your identity and fire you an SMS when the account is set up and ready to go.
You have to be above the age of 11, own a debit card and a mainland UK mobile number starting with 07 to use the app. Be sure to read the full terms and conditions found over on the Natwest website. Customers who own Windows Phones will feel right at home with this official app to ensure that their accounts are only a tap away while on the move. We just need other banks to follow suit.
You can download the Natwest app from the Windows Phone Store. Thanks, Benjamin, for the tip!

US bank (the all of them) need to hop on board with thus trend of making WP apps, UK banks are doing this well, and so are other European banks, but not the US so much.
Prodigy11 says:
There are signs of a better future:
inside man 55 says:
Great to hear for my UK friends, more apps like these only serve to eliminate oh there are not enough apps argument, I can't wait for the integration of wp8, rt, and w8 apps stores, I can keep dreaming can't I?
Big Supes says:
Awesome news. This is a much needed app for us Brits. HSBC next, please!!
fbloise says:
and Barclays, specially PingIt!
Eddie_Lomax says:
Hmm, I'm seriously tempted to swap to Natwest here unless Barclays get an app out.
I used to really like the old WAP phones for share dealing and bank account checking, its been a long time since they've been useable in a portable sense...
CommonBlob says:
RyanAMG says:
Hopefully Wells Fargo will be next. Also intuit Go Payment would be nice.
Mon-El says:
Good start, looks like a top app. Wrong bank for me though and does this use NFC on Windows Phone 8? Would be great to actually be able to use NFC for buying my lunch :)
Gorki247 says:
NFC payments require a secure-sim; so it's up to the operators to deliver this first.
fbloise says:
Not really, I was able to use NFC payments in a Galaxy S3 using Goole Wallet and my SIM is not an Secure-sim at all.
Gorki247 says:
That's Android; Windows Phone needs a secure-sim. This was a conscious choice made by MS. It's my understanding that operators and banks prefer this method.
roguck says:
This app has been a long time coming with requests on Natwest's forum going back beyond 12 months. Now it is here roll on windows phone and its successful growth.
conair346 says:
I'm hoping they've got the sister apps in the wings once the 'test population' of Natwest customers plough through any bugs. My main account is with Ulster even though I have a graduate account and PayWave debit card with Natwest.
Its a convenient set up - branch networks in the two main regions I tend to be - England and Northern Ireland... And as its the same backend any movements are instant.
Hammered Pizza says:
Great that they've not left out the Windows Phone 7 users here. Top work, Natwest!
Metrosity says:
Ho-bloody-ray, I hope this is the start of real consumer acceptance of Windows Phone.
Tezler says:
Come on HSBC. Follow and don't get left behind :) !!!!!
Gorki247 says:
Don't hold your breath for HSBC; they have stated many times they have no plans for a WP app. I'll be letting my bank know soon that I'll be changing banks exactly for this reason. If a bank cannot cater for me as a customer (regardless of my choice of phone) and cannot keep up with the times, they are no bank for me.
Tezler says:
Balls. News I didn't want to hear.
Same as damn Sky. I pay a fortune and yet they still advertise sky with generic, mobile and tablet access. They should be forced to say sky with specific apple products. Its shite, how can you advertise mobile and tablets if you cut out parts of the market. It's bull***t. Governing bodies should come down on them.
nsp24 says:
This is the only app i have missed since moving from the iphone well done NatWest.
Jakeway says:
Hope Nationwide make one too.
rogerandersonuk says:
Log into Internet banking and send them a message. If enough people do it they will hopefully take notice. I was told that there was no official word on a WP8 app but they would forward my request onto the developers. Hopefully they receive enough requests to come up with the goods.
Ihawks says:
Lloyds tsb please!!
Corkers100 says:
Great news. Now i can see how broke I am
mshaw2k says:
I have been waiting for this app ever since i threw my iphone away over 2 years ago, so happy and this is definitely a positive thing for the os. Developers are finally taking note. Happy days.
psteve2005 says:
At. Last! :)
Omnislash9998 says:
Great my main bank first on WP! Barclays now then will be complete!
FeedTheShark says:
Does this work with RBS accounts, or just NatWest. Guess I will find out when I install it...
Mikeyglw says:
Just asked them on Twitter
now that the Natwest Windows phone app has been released when will the RBS one be released?
4 minsRBS Help @RBS_Help
Hi Michael, this will be coming shortly. Thanks DS
Bigsro says:
Barclays app please ;-) this is good news and is good to see!
TechsUK says:
Come on EE (orange/t-mobile)with NFC
greycounciller says:
Glad it's finally come. Hope more mainstream apps start coming to WP8 and Win8.
sejgiul says:
Excellent news! Been dying to have this app.
Ben Toan says:
Looks like an excellent app and well integrated with look and feel of wp. Also full range of features. Long awaited
nablor says:
Superb app very welcomed on wp7 excellent Natwest
pLUSpISTOL says:
Doesn't support customers from Scotland (the irony). App tells you when you try to log in with your customer number.
Jealy666 says:
One of the only banks I don't have an account with! Typical! Good on them though.
prashant45 says:
Release for sbi too
Freuder says:
Requires you to enter your debit card details to register. I have no cards for my NatWest account (never have had, used to do everything by phone and now online) so I cannot use the app. Good to see they thought out the registration process carefully ...
nsp24 says:
Just order a card!
rockstarzzz says:
Any banks (USA ones) doing credit cards as well? Is it "a thing" to not do credit card accounts by any chance?
DReevell says:
love it...downloaded and registered my details, just waiting for confirmation SMS so I can start using App...if it's as good as the article suggests then this is a truly fantastic app that will get some serious use from me as I have three accounts with NatWest (business, personal, savings).
sudakoma says:
Been waiting ages for this but not available for customers in Scotland.....the wait goes on.
sparksy says:
cant log in when i enter phone number it says "this service unavalible please try later"
Mikeyglw says:
Looks like the RBS App is in the marketplace
Just registered my details :)
DReevell says:
so I've been using the NatWest app for a couple of days now and I must admit, it's probably the most useful app I currently have installed. I've used it to transfer funds between my accounts, review my statements, and will probably test the 'Get Cash' function over the weekend.
All-in-all, a damn good app that does exactly what I need easily and quickly. #Impressed
cybermoose89 says:
Need a app for HSBC as well tbh

Boys basketball: Frazier's 24 points leads Kimball past Smith
By Justin Thomas, email@example.com
ADDISON - Kimball standout Keith Frazier has made a name for himself as one the premier outside shooters in the nation.
On Friday, Newman Smith limited the McDonald's All-American to 0-for-6 from 3-point range but Frazier still managed to pour in 24 as the Knights eliminated the Trojans in an area-round contest, 74-57, at the Loos Fieldhouse.
"I really think it came down to experience," said Perci Johnson, Smith head coach. "They've been there. Down the stretch, I think they executed. Defensively, we tried to throw a lot of things at them, but they had an answer for a lot of them."
But moments later, following a Kimball timeout, Frazier spun and got to the bucket for a deuce before converting an and-1 on off a head fake to put Kimball back in control at 61-51. As they had throughout, the Knights were able to convert their free throws in the final minutes to seal the win.
In addition to his game-high in scoring, Frazier had seven rebounds, three assists and three steals. Early in the second quarter, he delivered a sequence of consecutive steals he took coast-to-coast for dunks.
"Oh wow," Johnson said of Frazier. "I think the guys we had guarding him did a spectacular job, but he's a great player. There's a reason why he is a McDonald's All-American. We tried to double him, but he would find the open guy."
In addition to Frazier's output, Kimball received 19 points from Trent Brinkley, who was 6-of-7 from the field and 6-of-7 from the line. For the game, Kimball shot 19-of-22 from the free throw line and outrebounded the Trojans, 34-29.
"That's what they do best," Johnson said. "They crash the boards and are long and tall. You can't coach height and at the end they had the rebounds to extend possessions and then they executed."
Smith was paced by 21 points from Walter Rickett, who was 6-of-11 from the floor and 9-of-13 from the charity stripe. The senior delivered a trio of and-1's in the second half to keep the Trojans within striking distance and posted 10 of his points in the final quarter.
"I have to give it Walter," Johnson said. "He's going to leave it all on the floor. I will go to battle with him and he has a bright future."
Darion Brown sparked the Smith offense in the first half, where he recorded 10 of his 14 points on 4-of-5 shooting, including both of his 3-point attempts.
Rickett, Camryn Cole and Dareon Hill paced Smith with six rebounds apiece.
While the Trojans came up short Friday, it was still a banner season in which the team claimed its first district title since 2010.
"We started the season and our mission was one game at a time," Johnson said. "But these guys never quit. Practices were tough and they stayed focused and never got discouraged. Nobody gave us a chance in the district. We were picked third, fourth or at the bottom. But look what they did: district champs. I'll go to war with these guys any day."
