• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
A third day of fierce fighting in Yemen's capital has pushed the death toll above 60, with protesters reportedly being killed and injured by rockets, heavy shelling, and machine-gun fire. The fighting, which has been largely contained to battles between government loyalists and defected soldiers, has raised concerns that Yemen's largely peaceful protesters could take up arms in self-defense and push the country into full-blown civil war.
"What has been remarkable is the peaceful nature of the demonstrators. But I am afraid that you will get a situation where people will start fighting back," Salman Shaikh, director of the Brookings Doha Center, told The Washington Post.
Another group with the potential to wreak havoc is the large number of defected soldiers who have so far stayed out of the fighting. Should they join the soldiers already fighting government forces, the situation could quickly devolve into a Libya-like civil war, according to the Post. "It's not two equal forces fighting it out to the end, but it could be," said Robert Burrowes, emeritus professor at the University of Washington. "I think it could very easily develop into something like Libya."
The fighting spread on Tuesday to the neighborhoods of Yemeni government officials, and rockets and shells rained down on the makeshift protest camp in Sanaa's Change Square. An unnamed Yemeni official told the Post that the civilians killed were caught in crossfire and not deliberately targeted. He also said that the protesters had been throwing Molotov cocktails.
On Monday, a UN envoy and a representative of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), a regional bloc, arrived in Yemen to work out a transfer of power agreement, the BBC reports. Regional and international bodies have been trying since the spring to work out a deal in which Yemen President Ali Abdullah Saleh, who is recuperating in Saudi Arabia from a June assassination attempt, steps down and gives his vice president the authority to form a national unity government. In exchange, Mr. Saleh and many of his former officials would receive immunity from prosecution.
Saleh has given his deputy the authority to negotiate on his behalf, but whether talks will go any further is unclear. The president has backed out of three previous deals at the last minute, and protesters see this latest promise to negotiate a deal as yet another stall tactic. Saleh has long played Yemen's diverse factions against each other, using a divide-and-conquer strategy to stay in power for 32 years.
Marc Lynch at Foreign Policy writes that Saleh's latest effort to undermine the unity of those opposed to his rule appears to be working, in part because the US and international community – consumed by Libya, Syria, and the Palestinian statehood bid at the UN – have lost the sense of urgency they had early on about pulling Yemen back from the brink.
Even though thousands of incredibly determined and resilient Yemenis continued to protest regularly, and analysts warned with increasing desperation that missing the opportunity to bring about a transition would be a disastrous mistake, the urgency faded away. Indeed, Saleh's regime counted on that fading external urgency as part of its strategy of delay and distraction, hoping to outlast, confuse, divide, and where possible crush the protest movement. Now, Yemenis are paying for that neglect in blood.
The US, the GCC, the UN, and Yemen's opposition need to push for Saleh to leave power now and for Yemen to immediately begin a meaningful political transition. Not in a few months, not in a few years, and not empty promises of future change which no Yemeni any longer believes.
The US and the international community has left mediation efforts to Saudi Arabia and the GCC. But Mr. Lynch writes that the GCC has proven that it is unable to bring about a resolution and the violence has rendered tenets of the deal – namely immunity from prosecution for Saleh and his officials – unacceptable to the various facets of the opposition.
With the list of dead and wounded Yemeni civilians growing and rage swelling across the country, few are likely to be interested in the GCC's deal granting amnesty to those responsible for a fresh massacre. I agree with them. One of the most important accomplishments of Libya and of the rapidly evolving international norms around the Arab uprisings has been the rejection of impunity for such atrocities, and Saleh's regime should be no exception.

Anyone expecting Flynn to ride in on a white horse and throw for 300 yds is going to be very, very disappointed.
Yeah, but Russell Wilson did things in the preseason and nothing special in regular. Preseason does not matter.
I think the point is that if Wilson's regular season looks like this in comparison to his preseason, what's Flynn's regular season going to regress to when playing "for realz"?

Derby History Quiz
Current Quiz Archives of all quizzes
Derby is certainly a melting pot of many nationalities that have left their mark on the city's rich history, and the Irish have certainly played their part. Many of the city's earliest mayors including the first, Dr. Thomas O'Sullivan in 1893, claimed Irish ancestry. However, William J. Riordan who served as mayor from 1928 to 1934 was actually born in Limerick, Ireland and did not arrive in America until he was nine years old. He holds the distinction of being Derby's first "immigrant" mayor. Derby's first mayor, Dr. Thomas J. O'Sullivan, was also of Irish descent, but he was born in the US.
Correct answers were received from: Paul Blackwell, Mayor Marc Garofalo, Ronald M. Sill, Marsha Pettingill, Randy Ritter, Sal and Joanne Onofrio, Gene Wajdowicz, Mary Lou Boroski, and Henry Wajdowicz.

AlliedWeb needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
2 winners were selected from 37 designs submitted by 16 freelance designers.
NLN (Northern Lights Nursing)
Northern Lights Nursing is a private contract nursing agency that provides outsourced nursing services for hospitals and medical facilities.
Businesses in need of 'contract' nurses for projects or part time to fill missing permanent positions can hire our nurses on a 'temporary basis."
Call us a "temp agency" for the nursing industry.
Hospitals, medical offices, convalescent homes, any facility needing temporary nursing staffing. Our nurses work for us and we subcontract them to hospitals and agencies in need of temporary nurses.
We are looking for something very unique. The owner of the business found some clip art of a tornado with stars coming out of it (see attached file). He really likes this look. We would like to see some logos that incorporate this concept.
The business name is Northern Lights Nursing so we want to see something that incorporates an 'aurora borealis' theme (color and stars).
At the same time, we are branding the business as NLN to abbreviate for Northern Lights Nursing so we want to use the letters NLN and then have the full business name spelled out below it.
The current logo they are using is attached. It needs a lot of work.
We are looking for something very main stream and not a copy of this logo. But the owner wants to strictly maintain the concept of a tornado with stars coming out of it and colors blue, purple, grey, etc...
It has to be original. We don't want a copy of someone else's logo.
Good luck and thanks for your hard work in helping us find the right logo.

As change sweeps across the Arab world, there are a variety of lenses through which to examine these changes: religious, cultural, political, economic. Shereen El Feki has chosen a decidedly less conventional lens with her new new book "Sex and the Citadel: Intimate Life in a Changing Arab World" (Pantheon, $29), due out Tuesday.
The book takes a close look at the sexual lives of men and women in the Middle East. Combining original research with first-person stories from housewives, young virgins, activists and sex therapists, "Sex and the Citadel" provides a detailed account of a veiled and sensitive aspect of Arab society.
Currently dividing her time between London and Cairo, El Feki has worked as a journalist for the Economist and a presenter with Al Jazeera English. She also is a former vice chairwoman of the United Nations' Global Commission on HIV and Law.
El Feki took a break from a full day of live interviews and popped into a London cafe to catch up with us over email (as well as take shelter from the brutal rain). She will be making her way to Los Angeles for a Writers Bloc event this Sunday at 1 p.m. at the Silent Movie Theatre, where she will be in conversation with Egyptian American comedian Omar Elba.

Security Guard Fired for Seeing Ghosts
Posted 10 November 2005 - 07:47 AM
A security firm fires an Iowa man who says he saw an apparition while on the job.
Des Moines Register Internet News

Take my hand and we'll go riding through the sunshine from above
Posted 10 November 2005 - 08:37 AM
Information from: The Des Moines Register
1 hour, 5 minutes ago
DES MOINES, Iowa - A judge ruled that a former security guard who was fired for seeing ghosts cannot be denied unemployment benefits.
According to a court ruling released this week, the former guard's allegation of apparitions does not constitute misconduct.
The issue started on Sept. 11, when Wade Gallegos alerted his supervisor at Neighborhood Patrol of Urbandale that ghosts were haunting a neighborhood he was guarding.
The supervisor arrived at the scene, where Gallegos showed him where the ghosts were still apparently standing.
The supervisor claimed he saw nothing and fired Gallegos five hours later.
The company found no signs of drug use or alcohol.
Neighborhood Patrol challenged Gallegos' application for unemployment benefits, arguing he was guilty of misconduct.
"Such beliefs do render the claimant unfit to act as a security guard," Judge G. Ken Renegar ruled. "The employer cannot have security guards who see ghosts and apparitions and inform the employer, and then the employer sends out the patrol cars."
However, the judge ruled, seeing ghosts is not the type of misconduct that can disqualify Gallegos from receiving benefits.

It kind of makes me think of the story I read about how a soldier saw the ghost of Ann Boleyn at the Tower of London. He fainted. His superior thought that he was drunk and reprimanded him. Other soldiers came forward and said that they, too had seen ghosts. In the Tower of London - could you imagine?
I've heard about that story, I think the deal with his superiors thinking that was he had been found unconscious. I can't recall if he quit soon after the experience but if I do remember correctly he wasn't fired for it.
Just plain ridiculous the other guy was fired for what he saw. Even if he did get the benefits entitled him there honestly was no bonafide excuse to terminate his employment.

What follows are individual profiles of federal agencies with a total work force of 500 or more employees. These profiles of selected indicators were created from data submitted by agencies in annual EEOC Form 462 reports.
The profiles contain a number of measures related to the agencies' EEO complaint activities, including the number of complaints filed, complainants, closed complaints, merit decisions, findings of discrimination, and settlements. Also included are timeliness measures for various stages of EEO complaint processing and some of the costs associated with the process. EEOC relies on each agency to provide accurate and reliable data for its complaint processing program. Although the EEOC reviews and analyzes the data submitted, each agency remains ultimately responsible for the accuracy of its own data.
Finally, each profile offers data concerning an agency's success in implementing ADR activities at the pre-complaint and formal complaint stages of the discrimination complaint process. EEOC is firmly committed to using ADR to resolve workplace disputes. Used properly and in appropriate circumstances, ADR can provide faster and less expensive results while at the same time improving workplace communication and morale.

Mobile Monday - Microsoft OneNotePosted by Julia Riley at 16:39
When I'm visiting archives or libraries, I need to make sure that I have all the information I need with me. There's nothing more infuriating than travelling somewhere to do some research, only to discover that you have left that vital piece of paper at home!
One way I make sure that disaster doesn't strike is to write my research plans before I start in Microsoft OneNote. If you use the Microsoft Office suite of programs, you may already have this on your computer - it's that purple square with the 'N' in the middle :) There are other similar programmes such as Evernote, but this is the one I use. I can put in here the information I have and plan out which documents I need to look at when I'm at the archives.
The thing about OneNote that I love is the free app that works on my iPad - if I sync all my OneNote files via my Windows Live ID (a Hotmail account also works) they automatically download to my iPad. Likewise when I get home, any changes I've made while I've been out are synced back to my computer. So all I have to do is to type into OneNote what I find, and it's right there - no transcribing back or transferring files, it's all done automatically.
The only thing I would say is that not all archives and libraries have wi-fi internet access, so remember to sync your files before you leave home.

Finding software can be overwhelming. We've helped thousands of businesses choose the right supply chain management software so they can manage supply chain operations and improve planning.
Sort by:
While the supply chain management software market is relatively small (compared to many other markets), the vast disparity in functionality between different SCM programs makes buying decisions much more complicated. Some programs concentrate on business intelligence, others focus on inventory control or transportation management and there are full-suite systems that do all of the above and more. This buyer's guide is designed to identify the features associated with supply chain management systems to help navigate the selection process.
Here's what we'll cover:
What Is SCM Software?
Common Features of SCM Software
What Type of Buyer Are You?
Market Trends to Understand
Benefits of SCM Software
Recent Events You Should Know About
Supply chain software is a software program or module designed to control end-to-end business processes across the supply chain, perform demand planning and forecasting, and manage supplier relationships. While functionality in these systems varies tremendously, common features include:
Many supply chain management systems include forecasting, which helps companies manage the fluctuations in supply and demand by using sophisticated algorithms and consumption analysis to evaluate buyer histories. Supply chain optimization software can be an invaluable tool in maximizing production efficiency and planning for the future.

|Supply chain planning
|Planning systems are used to forecast customer demand and adjust the speed and flow of production accordingly. Simulated demand estimates are run using historical trend data and planned promotion schedules to determine how changes in market awareness will affect your organization's inventory requirements in the future. Example vendors include InStyle ERP, SCP 4.0, VISION SCM and Clever.
|Demand planning
|Demand planning software improves the accuracy of potential demand forecasts by reducing biases in the data and providing that data to your organization in real-time. Multi-dimensional forecasting allows users to view information through a variety of different filters—by market, time or customer—and run a series of "what if" simulations to project future demand. Example vendors include Microsoft Dynamics, Geneva BMS, Fishbowl Inventory and SAP.
|Vendor managed inventory
|Vendor managed inventory (VMI) systems give suppliers the ability to monitor and replenish the buyer's inventory themselves. Various communication options—such as XML, Web portals and email—help multiple business partners increase visibility. Buyers can automate sold inventory reports, and suppliers respond with new shipment notifications and invoices. Example vendors include Datalliance VMI, RedPrairie, SAP and Aravo.
|Supplier management
|Buyers use supplier relationship solutions to monitor the performance of their suppliers. Users can assess supplier risk through user-defined risk categories. Performance analyses utilize key performance indicators (KPI) and audit trails to monitor spend and supplier performance. The software also helps users keep track of their suppliers' regulatory compliance. Example vendors include R.Portal, Geneva BMS, Fishbowl Inventory and S2K. Businesses likely to scale might also be looking for a system with more complexity such as vendor management systems.
|Procurement software carries out purchase orders and maintains the financial side of supplier/customer relationships. Purchasing terms are distributed electronically throughout the organization for instant approval, and expenses are logged for future reference in the next sourcing cycle. As the accounting segment of SCM systems, procurement also handles reporting and compliance issues. Example vendors include Coupa, SphereWMS, Microsoft Dynamics and WISE.
|Strategic sourcing
|Sourcing software is used before the procurement process to establish cost-cutting goals and to pre-screen potential vendors. Spend analysis pinpoints unnecessary costly supplier relationships by comparing current spend to other market options. Buyers can submit e-RFx, electronic requests for x (quotes, proposals and other information), to potential vendors to gather data for making informed purchases. Example vendors include ShippersEdge, Aravo, Epicor and Lawson.
|Warehouse management
|WMS systems monitor and control the movement of materials within the warehouse. Shipping and receiving events are controlled with advanced shipment notifications, and picking and putaway are tracked using tools like auto ID data capture (AIDC) and radio-frequency identification (RFID). WMS software also assists with the design of warehouse infrastructure. Third party logistics companies should review our 3PL software guide for a list of systems tailored for 3PL. Example vendors include SphereWMS, WISE, HighJump Warehouse Advantage, Manhattan Associates and RedPrairie.
|Transportation management
|TMS software guides the movement of materials to and from the warehouse. Logistics software can suggest the most efficient delivery modalities (air, land, sea) and manages multiple delivery variations like heterogenous vehicle fleets and load splitting constraints. Deliveries are monitored using satcomm and other communication devices. Land-based fleets should review our fleet management software guide for the top trucking, dispatch and routing software as well as systems to manage overall operations.
|Order fulfillment
|This software helps supply chain managers decrease lead times on production orders, resulting in smooth quote to cash processes. The system can determine whether build-to-order (BTO) or engineer-to-order (ETO) is the best solution for each product. After order completion, order fulfillment software keeps track of unpaid orders through revenue recognition processes.Order fulfillment applications are often bundled in to broader order management systems. Example vendors include SphereWMS, ShipppersEdge and ShipSoft.
Third party logistics. Companies that manage the ordering, warehousing and transportation of supplies for another business need a robust solution that can handle the data and processes for lots of different companies. These supply chain management tools will include lot tracking, customer profiling, supply management and order fulfillment.
Manufacturing. Manufacturing software needs to be able to track suppliers, costs and customers. This is where features like collaboration, demand planning and strategic sourcing are most likely to be used.
Distribution. Distributors sit in the middle, connecting manufacturers to retailers and/or consumers. Distributors need to track products and terms for multiple suppliers and customers, and have robust inventory and transportation capabilities in order to ensure the products get to the right person at the right time. Freight brokers and forwarders also fit into this category, and they typically rely on specialized software that facilitates daily freight operations.
Retailers. Brick and mortar retailers will want to consider dedicated retail software, but phone—and Internet—order retailers function more like distributors. These buyers will need warehouse and transportation solutions, inventory control and possibly additional strategic/planning modules, particularly for the larger/volume-based retailers.
Online purchases. Over the last decade, online retail sales have exploded, and with them the need for effective warehousing, inventory and transportation control. Suppliers, more often than not, are taking a product from manufacturing not to a store, but to a warehouse where it is stored and ultimately sent directly to the consumer. Ensuring an effective inventory control path is absolutely critical throughout this process.
Software as a service (SaaS). Cloud-based software—that is, software that's hosted by the vendor and accessed through a Web browser rather than being installed on a local computer—has been adopted by most industries to a large extent. SCM technology has been a little slower to adopt this trend, with major players like Microsoft, Geneva Systems, WISE and Fishbowl yet to develop Web-based systems. But as the technology improves, more and more supply chain management software providers will offer Web-based applications, with its benefits of collaborative networks and online purchasing integration. Currently, S2K and SAP are the biggest SaaS contenders.
Eco-friendly logistics. With environmental consciousness at an all-time high, consumers are beginning to think about logistics when it comes to purchasing their products. This trend is most noticeable in the food industry, where grocery stores and restaurants are beginning to brand and market products under a banner of being "locally sourced." As transportation from suppliers is the easiest place for a manufacturer to cut its carbon footprint, buyers may want to look out for a program's ability to identify suppliers based on proximity or other green factors.
Improving business intelligence. More and more companies want to know how their business spends money, so sophistication of planning, demand planning and strategic sourcing capabilities will only grow in an effort to meet the demand.
Increased demand for labor management. Companies using SCM software to track their inventory are now turning their attention toward labor optimization and the ability to manage each worker more efficiently. These systems can create a list of tasks for a worker so he can complete multiple types of work in one trip.
The benefits of supply management software are considerable:
Increased efficiency. First and foremost, SCM software is designed to improve the efficiency of your operation, from inventory check-in and storage to distribution and transportation. By making the processes electronic and/or automated, the time spent on these tasks drops considerably, which allows you to send more products out faster.
Reduced costs. The resulting efficiency reduces labor costs. In addition, many of the intelligence features are specifically designed to identify cost waste and eliminate it—for example, where commodities can be procured at lower rates, how to combine shipping to reduce to transportation costs or where to reduce inventory to maximize storage capacity.
Trend analysis and business intelligence. The intelligence features, in addition to helping control costs, can help improve revenues by identifying strongly performing products and guiding the user toward meeting market demand.
While these supply chain solutions do come at a price, proper implementation will usually lead to a calculable return on investment within a year.
Jabil Circuit enters supply-chain software business. In October 2016, Jabil Circuit, a manufacturer of electronic components for the likes of Apple and Cisco, announced that it is entering the supply chain management software business. Jabil's move into software-as-a-service (SaaS) comes with growing demand for technology to help companies manage increasingly global and fast-paced supply chains. The move underscores how Jabil and other electronics manufacturers, including Flextronics International, are pushing beyond their core businesses to higher-margin products and services.
Infor introduces cloud-based supply chain planning suite. In November 2016, Infor launched Infor Integrated Business Planning (IBP), a comprehensive suite of tools for optimizing supply chain processes. The suite integrates core supply chain management (SCM) processes, such as sales & operations planning (S&OP), demand planning (DP) and supply planning (SP) processes, into a holistic, cloud-based solution.
IT firm Saksoft acquires 60 percent stake in DreamOrbit. In December 2016, India-based IT company Saksoft Ltd acquired a 60 percent stake in DreamOrbit Softech, a provider of software engineering services, for an undisclosed amount. DreamOrbit develops IoT-based solutions for logistics services providers including freight and supply chain management software. With the acquisition, Saksoft hopes to strengthen its IoT offerings.

This is the first dessert recipe in awhile that I made specifically for me. I love and adore peanut butter, want to have a civil union with cheesecake, and would happily make brownies my prison bitch. A recipe combining my three twisted desires clearly needed to be made.
These do not disappoint. In fact, I don't ever want another dessert again. I'll stick a candle in this as my birthday cake in a few months. When I get married? I want my husband to feed me a big 'ole slab of this during the reception. Next time I make them, I might add peanut butter chips to the brownie portion. If it's possible to improve these, that would be the way.
Please go make these now. Thanks.
Here's what you'll need:
For the brownies:
14 tablespoons unsalted butter
6 ounces bittersweet chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 cups sugar
6 ounces cream cheese, softened
6 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup all-purpose flour
For the peanut butter cheesecake swirl:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup creamy peanut butter
6 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a 9x13 metal baking pan with foil, and spray with cooking spray. Set aside.
Combine the butter and chocolate in a heatproof bowl, and microwave on 50 percent power, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted. This takes about 3 minutes in my microwave.
In a large mixer bowl, whisk together cocoa powder and sugar. With a mixer on medium speed, beat in melted chocolate mixture. Beat in cream cheese until fully incorporated. Add in eggs, one at a time, making sure to beat thoroughly after each addition. Beat in vanilla and salt. Lower the mixer speed and add flour until just combined.
Pour the brownie batter into the prepared pan, and smooth the top with a rubber spatula.
Now, make the peanut butter cheesecake swirl. In a medium mixing bowl, beat together cream cheese, peanut butter, and sugar for 3 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until fully incorporated.
Drop the peanut butter mixture over the brownie mixture in blobs, and gently swirl with a knife or a skewer. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until center is just set. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
I tested these at both room temperature and chilled, and preferred the cold ones!

Founder of Dr. Beasley's
Anyone who knows Jim Lafeber will tell you that cars are his passion. As a kid, he loved detailing, painting and restoring vehicles. When he was 14, Jim bought his very first car with hard-earned allowance money: for the grand total of $25 Jim became the proud owner of a beat-up 1968 red Volkswagen Beetle.
From that very moment, Jim began restoration on his bug. Beginning with body work and ending with painting, he did a complete refacing and rebuilding by hand. Once the Beetle was back to like-new condition, Jim didn't stop there. He spent hours detailing this and later other pet project cars to keep them in new condition.
His love for cars continues to this day, so it was no surprise to his friends and family when he and his wife Nikki opened Simon's Shine Shop in 2004. Located in the heart of Chicago, Simon's was named for their beloved Alaskan Malamute, whose shedding hair (and the constant need for car washes) was the impetus behind their business venture.
Before opening Simon's, Jim spent months researching automotive cleaning and detailing products. He talked to experts from coast to coast to ensure that he would be using the best available products. Within a very short time however, he realized that their "best" was not good enough. It was then that he decided to go out on his own to innovate products that met his stringent standards.
At the end of each day, when Simon's Shine Shop closed for business, Jim and some of his detailing crew stayed behind to mix batches and experiment with new formulas. They did this on Simon's resident "practice" cars, which are kept on site for training and product testing. He met with distributors, chemists, and enthusiasts to find out what would and wouldn't work and developed products that are exclusively used at Simon's Shine Shop.
For example, Jim heard from his crew that their hands were becoming dry and scaly after a long day of washing and detailing cars with conventional car wash soaps. Eager for results, Jim switched through popular car wash soaps in search of the perfect product. Disappointed in what he found, Jim developed a new foaming car wash soap that yielded great resultswhile protecting ther crew's hands. After seeing such great results at Simon's Shine Shop, Jim decided that he should share these products and ideas with other car care enthusiasts
through Dr. Beasley's.
As for the unique name of the company, unlike the opening of Simon's Shine Shop, it wasn't a dog that inspired Jim to launch Dr. Beasley's. It was his customers. The positive feedback he received about the newly formulated products, and his customers' interest in using them for "in between" car washing and detailing at home, motivated him to make the products available to the public. But, he and his wife Nikki certainly couldn't let their second Alaskan Malamute feel left out, so Beasley (or Dr. Beasley, as he is affectionately known) also has a company named for him!
Jim loves to share his knowledge and passion with other car care enthusiasts, so he'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. To reach him directly, send a message to firstname.lastname@example.com.

TAIPEI, Taiwan — Victor Liew tucked into a bowl of freshly made beef noodles in a world secluded from the teeming masses filling the hallways, terminals and stores at Taoyuan International Airport.
He retreated to the rarefied world of the airport lounge — a realm of muffled clinking glasses, just-made gourmet food and showers for overnight passengers in need of a few minutes of calm amid the strain of international travel. The Pleasanton resident, a semiconductor engineer who crosses the Pacific about 34 times a year, relaxed in one of three lounges operated by EVA Air, the Taipei-based airline favored by many Bay Area technologists whose commutes include 13-hour flights between San Francisco International Airport and Taiwan and across Asia.
"I see the same people here," said Liew, sitting in the Diamond Garden Lounge. "I find a cozy corner and log in to WebEx for conference calls," he said. "It's very quiet, and the Wi-Fi is very strong. And the shower makes a big difference. You feel so refreshed."
Airlines have long viewed lounges reserved for elite travelers — business- and first-class ticket holders and their most frequent of frequent fliers — as a critical competitive service, said Alan Bender, professor of aeronautics at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Daytona Beach, Fla. Asian carriers, in particular, invest heavily in lounge service, reflecting their focus on customer service, he said. And their passengers demand the extra care.
Bender was surprised to find the Delta Air Lines lounge at Oregon's Portland International Airport to be better than most airline lounges aimed at domestic travelers. The lounge, he discovered, serviced a lot of Japanese travelers.
"I asked them about it and they said, 'Our Japanese customers demand it,' " he said. "They are not going to take just peanuts and popcorn and really mediocre appetizers found in many U.S. lounges. Asian passengers demand a higher level of service in the air and on the ground."
While domestic lounges for U.S. carriers can feel more like an overcrowded restaurant than a respite from the rigors of modern travel, those servicing international passengers pour on the pampering, said Bender, who is in the air 200 days a year.
Mineta San Jose International Airport recently opened "The Club at SJC," which replaces a lounge operated by American Airlines that shut down in 2010. The Club, which cost $1.6 million to build, initially was designed for premium travelers on All Nippon Airways, which has halted its five-day-a-week 787 Dreamliner San Jose-to-Tokyo service while U.S. and Japanese officials investigate the cause of battery fires on the grounded aircraft.
The lounge also is available to other San Jose International passengers, who buy a $35 day pass or are members of Priority Pass, which provides worldwide lounge access for an annual fee. Other airlines also may add access to the lounge as part of premium-class tickets in the future.
For airlines and midsized airports, lounge service is increasingly a critical service to offer to flight-weary business travelers, said Debby McElroy, executive vice president of the Airports Council International. "It's a competitive tool," she said.
For many high-mileage travelers, an airline lounge is something of a protective bubble from the body-battering effects of bouncing across the globe with too little sleep and too much work. If nothing else, the rest areas provide a space to pause without fear of having an open laptop or charging iPhone being stolen.
"The lounge is no longer just a place for waiting for a departure," said Masamichi Nagasaki, ANA's Tokyo-based assistant manager of products and services strategy. "Lounge guests expect more."
In the EVA Air lounges in Taipei, jet-lagged travelers from the Bay Area, Los Angeles and elsewhere begin arriving just after dawn. They set up laptops and tablets and plug phones into outlets. They have a choice of drinks and Western and Taiwanese food, from waffles to steamed yams, hot soy milk and dumplings — some of the best lounge eats in the world.
"It's clean, the food is hot, the seat is comfortable, and the shower is great," said Steve Arnold, a business traveler sitting in one of EVA's lounges one morning. "Everything is first-class."

Oh! Instagram, Here Comes Flickr App From Yahoo!
If you are one of those who like to share, photos, a lot of photos, of your breakfast coffee to dinner desert, you got another friend, I meant another app, which some say better than instagram, that you are using now.
Flickr as a web service is fantastic and everyone of us have at least a single photo on Flickr, sharing with someone or the whole world.
Yahoo is wrapping up all that goodness in a mobile app, Flickr for iPhone and doing a very good job of it. The app has been around but the new update brings bunch of good stuff like filters and effects that allows one to make their photos artsy or appear nothing like the original.
App also allows you to share these photos with your Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr accounts, opening up another avenue for you photos to search for 15 second fame.
But unlike the Instagram, this app is loaded with a very good set of tools, the kind that professional photographers would love. Perhaps they will be able to share what the photos looks like which they took with the professional cameras. Sort of a preview of great works yet to be uploaded in their multi megabit goodness'
Here is how Yahoo explains it on the Apple App Store page;

- - Discover the world through photos: The most interesting images in the world live on Flickr. Rediscover the world and be inspired by the Flickr community of photo hobbyists.

By the second quarter of the nineteenth century, many Americans had migrated westward, leaving behind the social stability of close-knit families and communities. The economic collapse of 1837 further undermined Americans' sense of security, fueling many to partake in fervent religious revivals. Although customarily relegated to what was known as the "domestic sphere," meaning they were discouraged from acting in a public role, women became key players in the religious revivals of the antebellum period. The image shown here demonstrates one way women organized- by going door-to-door to talk to other women about their beliefs, and if necessary, try to reform unacceptable behavior.
