This week sees the return of a notorious villain, the flight of some intrepid owls, a guy trapped in box for 94 minutes, a tired looking "comedy," Woody Allen, a teen-sex comedy, a pair of documentaries about kids facing daunting odds, a dead stripper, an "obscene" poem and some regretful parents. Let's take a look...
"Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps"
Writer-director Oliver Stone does for the global economic fiasco what he did for the Kennedy assassination in "JFK" – turned one of our nation's biggest tragedies in to an easy-to-understand and entertaining thriller. Michael Douglas reprises his Oscar-winning role, Gordon Gekko, with Shia LaBeouf co-starring as Jacob Moore, the young go-getter eager for Gekko's ear. Things are complicated by Jacob's engagement to Winnie, Gordon's daughter, played by Carey Mulligan. In theaters everywhere, read our full review and watch the trailer
"Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole"
Astonishingly tangible and stunning to behold, though not without some considerable plot holes. Luckily, director Zach Snyder has created a visual tapestry so lush, structural hiccups are quickly forgotten in favor of savoring animation that belongs in the Louvre. In theaters everywhere, read our full review and watch the trailer
"You Again"
Kristen Bell stars as a former nerd who learns at the 11th hour that her brother is marrying her arch nemesis from high school, played by Odette Yustman. Things get extra wacky when Bell's mother, Jamie Lee Curtis, realizes that her son is marrying into the family of her own ex-foe, played by Sigourney Weaver. In theaters everywhere, watch the trailer
"You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger"
Interesting and smart, with some thoughtful things to say about desire and longing, but it's not quite deep, funny or profound enough to really grab you. Allen seems to have recaptured his sense of narrative, but the wit isn't quite as sharp as it once was. In limited release, read our full review and watch the trailer
"Buried" stars Ryan Reynolds as Paul Conroy, a civilian truck driver working in Iraq, who awakens to find himself entombed in a wooden coffin. Armed only with a cell phone and a Zippo lighter, Conroy spends the next 94 minutes – essentially the entirety of the film – trying to negotiate his rescue. Given points for degree of difficulty, it's a minor triumph. In limited release, read our full review and watch the trailer
"The Virginity Hit"
The lowest of low art, but it nonetheless marks interesting step in the evolution of film (no, really), has some valuable lessons about not being a dirt bag and the pitfalls of the Internet and is at times genuinely funny. This movie will hit its target demo right between the eyes, leaving the rest of America cold, confused or angry. In limited release, read our full review and watch the trailer
"Enter the Void"
Director Gaspar Noe ("Irreversible") returns with his visually stunning tale of a brother and sister who promise never to leave each other's side, a vow imperiled while they're living in Tokyo when one of them dies of a drug overdose. In limited release, watch the trailer
"Waiting for 'Superman'"
Filmmaker Davis Guggenheim, director of Oscar-winning documentary "An Inconvenient Truth," this time turns his cameras on the sad state of public education in America. In limited release, watch the trailer
James Franco stars as Allen Ginsberg in the film based on the poet's most famous poem and the obscenity trial it inspired. In limited release, watch the trailer
"Like Dandelion Dust"
Mira Sorvino and Barry Pepper star in this film about adoptive parents whose idyllic life is shattered when their son's biological parents return to claim the boy. In limited release, watch the trailer
"A Mother's Courage: Talking Back to Autism"
Narrated by Kate Winslet, Fridrik Thor Fridriksson's documentary tells the story of Margret, a mother who has done everything in her power to help her severely autistic 11-year-old son, Keli. In limited release, watch the trailer

The scope of the question does not include Bollywood versus regional cinema outside of India. Nor does it include the pros and cons of the overshadowing of regional cinema. So I shall stay away from that argument, except a few notes at the very end, as I delve into reasons for why I believe Bollywood does indeed overshadow most of regional cinema (defined as, but certainly not restricted to, the specific film industries belonging to the Bengali, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam and Punjabi-speaking communities) in India. Much like everything else, the notes below are not free from bias (the title of this blog isn't, either).
1. Language
Remember this sign at the MTV studios on Times Square? (saying: We All Speak the Same Language).
That works perfectly for music. A little less for movies in India. Some of this might well have to do with the literacy rate hindering a serious effort in watching movies with subtitles (in any language). Add another layer of complexity with there being over 15 official languages (per this CIA World Factbook piece) in the country, with Hindi being the most widely spoken.
2. Reach (or market penetration)
It comes as no surprise, then, that more people are likely to watch Hindi movies, just given the number of people who speak the language (a little over 30% of the country's total population). They not only shape the infrastructure of the Hindi film industry (a.k.a. Bollywood), but follow the industry's products through its supply chain (see piece on Economics below). And throughout India, they are pervasive enough, in urban and rural areas. (Although a lot of what Bollywood produces today would not fit in well with a rural audience for content).
Aside: Two examples I can recall of portrayals in Bollywood movies of Bollywood movies being shown in rural communities...Swades (2004) and Nanhe Jaisalmer (2007). Any others you can think of?
Not merely fiction by any means. Here is a picture from this National Geographic link, accompanied by the text that follows:
"Under a tattered tent in Sangola, an all-male audience—common in rural areas—watches intently. Big-city viewers are livelier, says film scholar Manjunath Pendakur. "They cheer, boo, get into fights, even get on stage and dance." Part of the appeal: Devoid of overt sex, Bollywood films exude a subtle eroticism, especially in 'wet sari' scenes."
—Text and photograph from "Welcome to Bollywood," February 2005, National Geographic magazine
3. Supply Chain (within and outside India)
Discussed this earlier (in a slightly different context) in a previous post. Fans following movies have more tools than ever before to follow the films at different stages in their life cycles. For example, some of us in Miami, Florida, have been to film sets for a Karan Johar film. The soundtrack is yet to release. We're blogging away our thoughts. All this without seeing one trailer. We'll await the soundtrack. Buy it. Share perspectives, creating more buzz. Watch the film. Share perspectives again, creating even more buzz. Perhaps buy it on DVD (hope it's on HD-DVD, for which we'll pay more). And all this for a film that doesn't star Aamir Khan, or anyone close! ;)
Bollywood fans nutty enough (a good kind of nutty, I might add) to blog away their free time might be in the minority, but the Bollywood infrastructure perhaps encourages this involvement more than any other Indian film industry. Even if it means drinking Coke because someone like Aamir Khan or Aishwarya Rai said so, or buying a Toshiba television because Vidya Balan endorsed it. Add this to the note [above] on the prevalent language, and the case gains strength.
Of all the industries, Bollywood tends to make the most noise (often good!) surrounding its products. It's just good, targeted marketing. [Sadly, there's some bad marketing (read: skin show) too, but the kinds of people that that appeals to can speak for themselves.] Several filmmakers have made, over several years now, concerted efforts to showcase exotic locations outside of India to the Indian public. This trend was set by Bollywood. And when you become a bellwether of sorts, you know you are in the lead. [This, obviously, is directly proportional to the budgets for the films.] Yes, Bollywood is an eight-hundred pound gorilla.
Here is a classic case of supply and demand. Reminds me of my economics professor (an adviser to the United Nations, no less) who had me believing that everything in life can be looked at through the supply-demand prism. Difficult to dismiss...then and now. More Hindi-speaking people means more movie-watchers and higher stakes for the filmmakers.
Some of the biggest budgets are allocated to Bollywood films. The actors are likely among the most well-paid on a consistent basis (except for Rajnikanth, a regional industry superstar who did not do very well in Bollywood). This is backed by some Bollywood actors being among the highest tax-payers in the country.
Attracting and retaining talent
A classic term from the corporate community. But very relevant too. Combine the elements. The language. The reach. The opportunity. The economics, and a supply-chain that has complemented it for decades, to a point where it's a well-oiled machine. The glamor and the spotlight. Chances are that an artist would want to make it big in this industry ahead of the rest.
There are several examples of actors and musicians who started in regional cinema, and then moved over to Bollywood. A. R. Rahman is one good example. And how about people growing up on different continents who want to try to make their mark in Bollywood too? People like Katrina Kaif, Upen Patel. Oh, and how about some Pakistani pop/rock artists, who want to succeed there too (e.g. Atif Aslam)! Bollywood is perhaps more diverse now than it ever was.
I do not know enough of the other industries to claim that the Bollywood ecosystem attracts and retains top talent. My guess would be that there is hardly any shortage of talent in any of the industries. But Bollywood sure does seem to attract and retain the most popular talent. And in a supply-demand kind of world, that probably matters more than anything.
And finally
I truly hope that we watch more regional films. I have been guilty of not watching many at all. But at some point, those industries need to market to us Bollywood fans too, like they did with the film Ganga, starring Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini. A classic example of Bollywood stars promoting Bhojpuri films. Or Aamir Khan remaking the Tamil film Ghajini and retaining the title of the original. So I would tend to focus on the interconnectedness and the fostering of a complementary ecosystem, not one that is contentious.
The industries will do what they do best -- provide entertainment. The hope is, of course, that one industry does not overwhelm the others to a point where they struggle to survive. [Here's an earlier post on ethnomusicology and the threat posed by Bollywood.] But that won't happen any time soon, especially if the majority of the Bollywood scripts offer any indication. Besides, there are probably more movies made in South India than in Bombay anyway.
So, back to the question: Does Bollywood overshadow regional cinema in India?
The answer: Overshadow? Likely. Overwhelm (as in threaten existence)? Not even close. Hopefully not ever.
Do you have any experiences to share that confirm or contradict the thoughts expressed above? Have you seen any regional films that you might recommend to the Hindi-movie-watching crowd?

The shadowy world of terrorism never sleeps, and for Gabe Logan the battle to rid the planet of nefarious organisations has become too much work for one man. Setting up an elite agency to train operatives in terrorist suppression, Gabe takes a breather from bullet-dodging to concentrate on overseeing the rookie recruits on their missions.
As with Gabe's three sorties on PS one, you can embark on a solo journey to rid the globe of deadly commandos dedicated to their chosen cause.
In keeping with the series' theme, The Omega Strain places you in the thick of things, with a lethal virus outbreak occurring simultaneously in locations across the world. With none of the known terrorist organisations claiming responsibility for the attack, the origins of the virus are a mystery. Whoever is behind the release of the 'Omega Strain' though, it's up to you to locate the source and neutralise the risk to the populations threatened by the strike.
Fans of previous Syphon Filters will be reassured to hear that this mostly involves traipsing around the globe and unloading the contents of a pleasingly large array of weaponry on wave after wave of terrorist goons.
As one of the chosen few trained by Logan's agency, you'll be sent on a variety of missions which will require a careful combination of strategy and teamwork when out in the field. But before you can begin tracking down the virus' origin, you'll need to kit-out your agent using the detailed customisation feature. Choose your recruit's facial features, hair colour, uniform and accessories, then get down to business in your snazzy new military get-up.
Whether you decide to embark on virus-suppressing endeavours alone or with your compatriots, you'll still have access to over 100 unique pieces of cool gadgetry and weapons. Only four can be carried at any given time, however, so you'll need to get your pragmatic head on.
There are 17 intense missions to battle and strategise your way through, each set in huge, diverse environments, including Yemen and Chechnya. The outcome of each mission affects the storyline, so you'll definitely want to enter the fray more than once.

Marriage Proposal Passes at 2011 RA
Delegate gets down on one knee while 8,000+ cheer and await answer.
July 05, 2011
By Cindy Long
At the 2009 RA in San Diego, Jose Alcala was on sign duty for the California delegation with Ashley Bettas. He held them, she wrote them, and he'd joke with her about her poor handwriting and how nobody could read her signs. He was trying his best to flirt, but wasn't sure if it was working. Turns out Cupid couldn't have done a better job if he'd shot an arrow himself -- two years later, the two are engaged to be married, and it happened right here in Chicago on the RA floor.
"I was trying to think of a good place to propose, and thought maybe in New York, or somewhere like that," Alcala said, "but all our stuff and our history revolves around Association business, so it seemed like the perfect occasion."
Alcala approached the microphone, and in front of more than eight thousand people, asked Bettas if she would be his wife. He said he tried to hold back the tears, but he got choked up anyway. "It's just who I am," he said.
As everyone cheered, Alcala waited on bended knee for his answer.
"I was 99 percent sure she'd say yes, but you always have that little bit of nagging doubt," said the Moreno Valley history teacher.
Then President Van Roekel walked up to the podium and asked the delegation, "All those in favor of the proposal please say 'aye!'"
"Aye!," the delegation roared in response.
"All opposed say no," Van Roekel then asked, and the room fell silent.
Bettas also said aye, or maybe it was yes, but she was positive that she wanted to accept Alcala's proposal to marry him.
"I had no idea he was going to do it here," Bettas, a first grade teacher, said. "When I finally realized what was happening, I was totally overwhelmed, I was speechless."
As for where and when the wedding will be, Bettas says they have no idea. "I need to let it sink in first," she said.
Maybe a summer wedding in the nation's capital?

Fedora Server Technical Specification
This document aims to describe the technical characteristics Fedora Server product in detail. This includes provided services and APIs, installed software, etc. Some of the desired characteristics may not be entirely achievable in the first version of the Server product, and will be approximated.
The content of the spec unavoidably overlaps with the work of the Base Working Group, and needs to be aligned with their deliverables.
Core Services and Features
This section should describe the core services of the platform and their intended use. The items here should refer back to the PRD for a functional justification.
Supported Architectures
Fedora Server will run on and provide install media for i686, x86_64 and armv7hl servers. In the future, Fedora Server will also support armv8 (64-bit) when the hardware becomes available.
File system
The default file system type for Fedora Server installs will be XFS running atop LVM for all partitions except /boot. The /boot partition will remain a non-LVM partition due to technological limitations of the bootloader.
File-system layout will be discussed with the Anaconda team and reasonable defaults will be selected based on a combination of the number of available, selected disks and the available memory on the system (for determining SWAP space).
Service management
Systemd provides ways to control and monitor the activity and status of system services, resources they require, etc. System services must provide systemd units to be included in the Fedora Server standard installation. See the systemd documentation.
The systemd journal will be used as the local storage backend for system logs. For 'managed' scenarios (e.g the 'developer in a large organization' use case of the PRD), it must be possible to collect the logs in a centralized location, off the local machine.
Applications and services can either use the syslog API or the journal APIs for their logging. See the journal API documentation.
Network devices and connections will be controlled by NetworkManager by default. Server Roles that may need to interact with the network configuration must do so through the public NetworkManager D-BUS API.
A firewall in its default configuration may not interfere with the normal operation of programs installed by default.
Server Roles that need to interact with the firewall must do so through the public firewalld D-BUS API. Server Roles that modify the firewall must also provide a public configuration API describing what interfaces are permitted through the firewall.
A public, external API will be provided by the OpenLMI project to manage firewalld centrally. (This is not yet scheduled for a Fedora release, but is a medium-term plan)
SELinux will be enabled in enforcing mode, using the targeted policy. The Fedora Server standard install and all promoted Server Roles must operate in enforcing mode.
Problem reporting
Problems and error conditions (e.g. kernel oopses, Selinux AVCs, application crashes, OOM, disk errors) should all be reported in the systemd journal.
Support for sending this information to a central place (like abrt does for crashes today) is mandatory.
Session tracking
Logind will be used as the session tracking facility.
Applications that need to interact with sessions can use the logind library API, the D-Bus API, or a higher-level API
Account handling
SSSD is providing the backing storage for identity management. The Fedora Server is expected to nearly always be configured for 'centrally-managed' user information; it must be possible to configure it to rely on a directory service for this information. Fedora Server will provide and support the realmd project for joining FreeIPA and Active Directory domains automatically. Interacting with other identity sources will remain a manual configuration effort.
The accountsservice is providing a D-Bus interface for user account information; this may be integrated into SSSD at some point.
Depending on their needs, application and services can either use the POSIX APIs (getpwent(), etc) or the accountsservice D-Bus interface to obtain user information.
Software updates
Software updates on the Fedora Server must be possible to perform either locally using command-line tools (e.g. yum/dnf) or centrally by common management systems (e.g. Puppet, Chef, Satellite, Spacewalk, OpenLMI).
Miscellaneous system information
System locale, timezone, hostname, etc. will be managed through the services provided by systemd for this purpose. See developer documentation for localed, timedated and hostnamed
libvirt-daemon will be used to manage virtualization capabilities. systemd-nspawn will be used to manage containerization capabilities.
Display manager
Accessibility support on the Fedora Server will be limited to devices supporting the vision-impaired on the console.
Accessibility support in the optional graphical environment will be aligned with the Fedora Workstation offering.
Input Methods
The input method framework on the workstation is provided by ibus. Input methods and keyboard layouts can be configured in the control-center, and selected in shell keyboard menu. The supported application toolkits all support ibus.
The workstation session will switch to using a Wayland compositor as soon as feasible. Until then, it will be based on X11. Even after the switch, an X server will be included, so applications can either connect to Wayland natively, or run as an X client.
Media support
Sound hardware and audio streams will be managed by pulseaudio. Applications are recommended to use the gstreamer framework for media playback.
The workstation will ship with a single theme, which will have support for the included toolkits: gtk3, qt and gtk2. Applications are expected to work well with this theme, as well as with the high-contrast theme that is used for accessibility. The theme will include a dark variant that applications can opt into using (this is most suitable for certain content-focused applications). The theme also includes an icon theme that provides named icons according to the icon-naming spec, plus symbolic variants.
We will be using the Adwaita theme, with a yet-to-be-written qt variant.
Application Integration
Installed applications are expected to install a desktop file in /usr/share/applications and an application icon in the hicolor icon theme.
Packaged applications are also expected to provide appdata for use in the application installer.
System Installer
The desired installation experience for the workstation product is to limit the pre-installation user interaction to the minimum. The storage configuration UI should be focused on the classes of hardware that are expected in workstation-class machines. Package selection is not necessary: the installer will install the workstation product as defined. Tweaks, customizations and software additions should be performed after the installation.
One aspect of storage configuration that will be needed is support for dual-boot setups (preserving preexisting Windows or OS X installations), since e.g. students may be required to run software on those platforms for their coursework.
gnome-initial-setup already provides support for post-install user creation, language selection, timezone configuration, etc. If necessary, it should be extended to cover all required setup tasks.
TBD: containers, supported languages
Core Applications
Core applications are part of the Workstation product and can not be removed.
Applications can depend on any services that are listed above, and can assume that all of the packages listed below are present on the system. They can not require other applications to be installed.
Application installer
gnome-software will serve as graphical application installer, offering to install and remove applications, system extensions and add-ons (such as fonts, or codecs) and other optional software. To be presented in the application installer, applications need to provide appdata.
Web Browser
firefox will be used as the web browser.
Terminal emulator
gnome-terminal will be installed as a terminal emulator. More powerful options, such as terminator, can be investigated.
Text Editor
gedit will be installed as a simple text editor.
File Manager
nautilus will be installed as a file manager.
Virtualization frontend
gnome-boxes will be available for the creation and use of vms, as well as for connecting to remote systems, e.g. ovirt.
Developer assistant
The developer assistant will provide an easy way to set the workstation up for various software development use cases.
- non-core, default applications ?
- other developer-focused software
Core Package list
List the core packages of the product. This list includes all packages that will be shipping on the core media. This is the mandatory minimal list of packages that needs to be installed on a system at all times for it to qualify as a Fedora workstation install. This package list will be the priority focus for QA and bug fixing.
Package list
Here is the full list of packages that are installed as dependencies of the various aforementioned packages, in particular systemd, sssd, selinux-policy-targeted, gdm, gnome-shell, gtk2, gtk3, orca, control-center, ibus, qt4 (qt), qt5 (qt5-qtbase and qt5-qtdeclarative), libvirt-daemon, gnome-boxes, gnome-terminal, firefox, gedit, gnome-software, devassistant, pulseaudio, gstreamer1, gstreamer1-plugins-good.

- Add fonts, input methods, VPN
- Compare the package list against the current desktop spin
- Do we need to pin down versions ?
Policies for software add-ons
General rules and policies for how extra software is installed and what requirements are put on that software.
- Optional software must not interfere with the regular functionality of mandatory components. E.g. installing optional audio software must not prevent other applications from using pulseaudio and gstreamer for media playback.
- Optional software should integrate properly into the defined extension points of the OS:
- Applications should provide desktop files and icons
- Applications should provide appdata (link?) for the software installer
- System services should provide systemd units
- Desktop environments should provide a desktop file in /usr/share/xsessions
- It must be possible to remove optional software from the system again
Installation methods and media
We will produce a live .iso image. The primary target for this image will be USB sticks, but the ability to burn the image to a DVD should be preserved (since we are still getting regular requests for such media). There is no pressing reason to restrict the image to the current 1GB size target. Persistence is not an important feature of the live media, whose primary focus should be to install the system.
gnome-disks can create USB sticks on Fedora, and liveusb-creator is the tool we have to let people create USB sticks on Windows or Linux. Both of these tools may need to be extended with support for EFI (whatever that means in detail).
Hardware requirements
We expect to support 64bit machines with suitable graphics and display resolutions. Hi-resolution displays, touchscreens and wacom tablets are interesting hardware and should be supported.
Engineering Roadmap
Not sure if we want this section here or if we should just make this a pure description document and put the implementation roadmap in a separate document.

The holidays seem so long ago. I closed out the year with a bit of last minute holiday baking the final afternoon before bidding adieu to 2011; and wanted to share what I had made.
The morning before, Danielle and her husband Josh decided to have some people over at the last minute for a casual NYE dinner and a pool soirée. Lolo and I had planned to stay home while ringing in 2012, plopped out in the comforts of our uncomfortable couch, and watch Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin Eve. However, we happily obliged Danielle and Josh's offer and were very glad we did – they are always such gracious hosts; and we met great people, most were transplants from back East.
As a rule, I do not like to go places empty-handed, and it was afterall for New Year's Eve! As usual, many different ideas began racing through my head – What to take, what to take…? I had come across a fabulous Turtle Bar recipe from La Tartine Gourmande and knew it would make for a perfect dessert that would be easy to devour, especially poolside. I finally decided on a couple of blue cheese logs (oh, how I do love blue cheese and Roquefort), the indulgent dessert, and of course champagne.
As soon as we arrived, we were greeted with lots of hugs. People slowly began trickling in, while others were getting picked up from the airport. The house was filled with warmth and illuminated with flickers of candle, lighting up the Hollywood Hills. The grazing and flow of alcohol soon began.
Eventually folks lazily migrated to the pool level for a swim. It was actually quite warm and a perfect night to spend outside in the pool under the palm trees – life in Southern California is tough. Josh had been slowly heating the pool for three days. He wanted to insure all his guests were kept comfortable. It's not uncommon for him to warm the pool to 102 degrees – yes you read that right, 102! But for this evening he kept it to a balmy 95 degrees. It was a relaxing evening filled with good food, drinks, and great friends new and old.
Walnut Turtle Bars (Adapted from La Tartine Gourmande Nov 2008, Turtle Bars)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup cold unsalted butter
For the topping:
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1 cups walnuts, chopped
1 cup dark chocolate — I used 72% dark chocolate squares, chopped coarsely
Preheat the oven at 350 F. Line an 8 x 8 inch pan with aluminum foil, leaving enough to hang over the edge and act as handles to remove bars after baking. Grease foil with butter.
Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor and blend briefly to combine. Cut butter in small pieces and sprinkle over flour mixture. Process until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Press the mixture into the bottom of the pan. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the crust is golden and firm and dry. Leave oven on at the same temperature.
Combine the cream, butter, salt, and brown sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil for about 1 minute. Spread the walnuts over the top of the crust. Pour the hot caramel filling evenly over the walnuts. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until the caramel topping darkens.
Remove from the oven and sprinkle the chocolate pieces over the hot topping. Let sit for a few moments and then use a knife or offset spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the top.
Chill the bars in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until the bars have fully set before slicing them.
Using foil as handles, pull bars from pan and place on cutting board. Cut long side into 6 strips, then cut 4 strips across the short side, creating 24 bars. Wipe the knife clean between cuts.
I kept the bars refrigerated until ready to eat.

I just got a new work laptop, the Dell XPS 13 developer edition. Even for a day installed GNOME 3 on it. Then I realized that I can't work with two different desktops at the same time, so I went back to MATE. I can't change my work computer to GNOME because the dual-monitor support is terrible in GNOME shell. Oddly it seems that dual monitor is a corner case for GNOME devs now. Strange as Linux is more used in the "workstation" market than "home desktop" market, and if I look around the offices here, whoever can (has funding) does have a dual monitor setup on their workstation. GNOME sucks as a workstation. It might be fine as a place to launch a web browser, email, chat, whatever it is that kids do nowdays.
The other thing is that this has a pretty high DPI, and EVERY desktop kind of sucks at this. I don't think that mid 30's is too old to use computers, but there are things which are definitely harder on this thing and require squinting. My eyesight is not what it used to be, but it's not that bad. I can get most (but not all) fonts to be bigger. But for example chrome I can't get to be bigger everywhere, that is, yes on the webpages, but no on the tab headers. Also UI elements in other things are tiny, like scrollbars are suddenly hard to hit because they are tiny. Why don't these things also scale? That's annoying. Smaller resolution is OK, but blurry and sucky.
Another annoying thing is this really godawful thing called a click-pad. It makes the assumption that just because you can do something, you should. So the top of the "buttons" are now also place where the "mouse" moves. So by pressing the button I am also moving the mouse, often clicking somewhere else. So now if I want to click on something two things happen: 1) the mouse jumps somewhere completely different 2) or I can't hit it. Put that together with the small controls and you have a recipe for disaster. I continually click on things I don't want to.
Ahh well … There are nice things about the laptop too, like the size, and the case. Though it doesn't have a lock hole, which is really anoying … in a coffee shop, am I supposed to take the laptop to the bathroom with me? I know it's small, but taking your laptop with you to pee is kind of weird. Oh yeah … ended on another complaint …

How did you pitch up at Football Italia for Channel 4? (Footie and Music)
Funnily enough there was an actual girl involved. I met a young lady from Rome, as the old limerick goes. This lead to me learning Italian, which led to a desperate tv exec calling me in a couple of weeks before the show launched to have a go at being a football reporter. Doesn't scan very well, does it?
I've heard that you didn't care for football until you got the Football Italia gig, is there any truth in this? How long did it take for you to fall in love with the game, if at all? (Rocco Cammisola, The Football Express) I'm not sure I am 'in love' with the game. Sometimes its unpredictability can take your breath away, sometimes it can feel like history unfolding before your eyes, but sometimes it's FIFA world cup 2010. So I like it - love it on occasions - but not always.
From your time covering Italian football, what was your most memorable match? (Swiss Ramble) Sadly, Genoa – Milan in 1995. A Genoa supporter was murdered, the game was suspended and an angry mob took over the streets around the Marassi. After we filmed a bit of the disturbances we were surrounded by Ultras, causing my film crew to drive off at high speed and me to get a genuine black eye. Jimbo on the front line! However, so abject did I look to the burly fellows responsible that one of them was delegated to escort me out of the area, which he did, conversationally pointing out the fleeing police cars and burning vehicles as we passed. A very singular afternoon.
Is there any chance of a reunion with Elvis Costello on the Football Weekly pod? Elvis, I'm ready to ditch our current grumpy irishman whenever you give the word.
There are huge cultural differences across Italy, so when you had to present the show outside the northern "heartlands" were you treated with suspicion like us southerners are when we go up north? Not in the least. Almost everyone was very welcoming.
Do you see Serie A having a renaissance period in the UK? Similar to the one we saw from '92 onwards. Or, what's stopping that from happening? (Tim Hill, Talking About Football) Not in the next decade. Why? Money.
What's your favourite cake? (Andrew Gibney, Gib Football Show) A proper home-made Panettone, or anything with chocolate.
What one lesson could the English Premier League learn from Serie A? (Ollie Irish,Who Ate All The Pies) Oh dear. At last a huge opportunity to answer back all those jingoistic premier-centric English clichés about the Italian game. Open net! Must. Not. Miss… Er, home grown owners?
Who are your favourite group of fans in Italy and what sets them apart from English fans? (Andy Hudson, Gannin' Away) I don't have one to be sincere. Perugia supporters are a decent bunch, as can Neapolitans. Any support with a healthy dose of self irony, basically.
Do you still get a Christmas card from Gigi Casiraghi after eulogising him on Football Italia? (Andy Brassell, All or Nothing TV) Gigi was my love that dare not speak its name. The time I asked him to rub my face in a plate of cold spaghetti, and he complied! Do it again, Gigi! Do it!
Italy were effectively eliminated from the World Cup by a Marek Hamsik-led Slovakia. I was wondering what that result did to enhance Hamsik's reputation in Italy and what effect did it have on his popularity throughout the country? And how is he doing at Napoli this season? (Dan Richardson, Britski Belasi) There was no Ahn-type backlash at all that I'm aware of (the south Korean who scored the penalty that put Italy out in '02). Still, it was an entirely different set of circumstances; Italy were so abject this time that they barely noticed who put them out of their misery. Wasn't that the best 10 minutes of the Cup though – when Italy suddenly decided to go for it at the end of that game and Quagliarella scored that blinder? Frustrating.
Just how bad is the violence and racism in Italian football? (James Boyes, Lewes Football Club) Ugh. Bad enough. Still waiting for the happy ending on this one.
Why do we see so little of you? Does being so well know as the Football Italia man hamstring you in terms of mainstream presenting gigs? (Dan Brennan; World Soccer magazine, Libero Language Lab) It must be that. It's really putting my Hollywood career back too.
For many years I've considered it one of life's travesties that you don't present Match of the Day, and I know I'm not alone in thinking that. Have you been offered the chance to present the show and is it something you'd like to do? (Jeff,In Bed With Maradona) I would absolutely love it. LOVE it!!!
If you got the *whispers* MOTD gig, how would you change it and who would be your wingmen? (Damon Threadgold, The Real FA Cup) Adebayor and Shearer. And it would be all about Serie A.
Were you flattered by the Internet campaign to get you the MotD2 gig earlier this year? (James Maw, Four Four Two magazine) I was very flattered.
What were you thinking letting me in the pod bay doors that time James? Anyway, would you consider giving up waiting on British TV and coming overseas to host a North American targeted show on ESPN? (Richard Whittall, A More Splendid Life) Come back Villasupportgroup, by night known as Richard; you were excellent. All well in Toronto? Give me a bell when this ESPN thing is sorted, it sounds like fun.
Have you ever considered going into radio? Have 5Live or the geezers on Talk Sport ever come knocking? Ok, let's just simplify this: I'm available and will often work for cake.
You sing (arf!) the praises of some 80's bands on the pod. Did you ever want to be a music journalist or is football your first and only passion? When I was little, I very much wanted to be a Dee Jay.
Do you have a favourite football league team or any fond memories of watching any football outside of the Premier League? (David Bevan, The Seventy Two) I remember going to see Swansea City at Spurs on – I think – boxing day in 198-whatever it would have been for Swansea to be in the First Division. Not a particularly fond memory though, compared to some I could mention.
The thick end of 10,000 people sign up for your monthly tweet. Twitter is not really for you is it? I genuinely would like to tweet more but I have the twitter version of stage fright.
How do you keep Barry Glendenning awake during your Serie A round-up on the pod and what was it like sharing a room with the 'rebels choice' at Euro 2008? Electrical currents. Far be it from me to shatter illusions, but Barry is no rebel in the domestic environment. Despite his punishing schedule of bar-frequenting in Vienna he would squeeze time in between hangovers to keep our apartment spick and span. Until I destroyed the place by accident on our final night, that is.
Have you ever actually seen/met Sid Lowe or does he exist in your world solely as a voice from yonder like Holly (the computer) from Red Dwarf? What a silly idea. That's Jonathan Wilson.
Why do fingers and toes wrinkle when left in water? (Beat The First Man) Time actually passes faster in water than it does in air, so what you're actually witnessing is old age in preview. Fact.

I have this Webspace I rarely use so I uploaded the whole doxygen docu for openmw 0.39, including GraphViz Diagrams with Class diagrams, Collaboration diagrams, Overall Class Hierarchy, Include and Included dependency graphs, call and called by graphs, UML ... basically the whole shebang.
Sorry about the absolute file paths from my own home dir, I'll try to make one with relative paths. If I happen to follow openmw in the future I will update it to current versions. I'm thinking about joining the team myself, but I will only apply officially when my current enthusiasm about this project does not dissolve until I understand the code sufficiently to make practicable contributions.

Pratt motels are booked up for the first two weekends in November, and many have been reserved since last year in anticipation of the opening of pheasant and quail seasons in Kansas.
Pratt motels are booked up for the first two weekends in November, and many have been reserved since last year in anticipation of the opening of pheasant and quail seasons in Kansas.
From Pratt County on west, pheasant numbers look really good, similar to 2005, which was one of the best seasons in the past 15 years, according to Mike Mitchener, wildlife sections chief with the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks. The county should offer some of the best quail hunting in the state. Some prairie chickens are found in the area.
Projections are based on brood surveys by KDWP staff and annual surveys by rural mail carriers.
Pheasant season opens Nov. 3 and runs through Jan. 31. Quail opens a week later and ends Jan. 20. The season for prairie chickens is Nov. 17 through Dec. 31.
Kansas boasts some of the best upland bird populations in the world, according to the KDWP website. Hunters like Pratt County because if offers a lot of "mixed bag" hunting - pheasant and quail in the same area, Mitchener said. There is a fair amount of walk-in hunting, 353 acres of private land in 14 tracts that KDWP leases for hunting, in addition to public land at the Pratt Sandhills and Texas Lake in the northwest part of the county.
There is also a good availability of motel rooms in Pratt, allowing hunters to make the town their home base for hunting in nearby areas.
Lynn Kahmeyer, owner of Evergreen Motel, said she has many of the same hunters year after year for opening weekends, and some have already booked rooms for 2008. The motel will stay pretty busy with hunters throughout the fall, as the seasons progress from birds into deer. 2007 has been an unusual year - the tornado in Greensburg has kept many rooms occupied by workers, but in most years she said, "we're very thankful for hunting season."
Hunting has a significant economic impact on the state, Mitchener confirmed. During the year, 277,000 hunters, both resident and non-resident, will be in Kansas fields. On average, they will hunt for 11.25 days and spend $79 each for food, gas, lodging and equipment.
Hunters learn about the prospects in Pratt County through the KDWP website and from word of mouth, Mitchener said. Information about walk-in hunting areas and hunting regulations is available in an atlas the department produces and places with each license vendor and on its Web site.
Local vendors include Alco, Dillons, Pheasant Farms, Pratt Ampride, Wal-Mart and the KDWP operations office. Licenses can also be purchased online at www.kdwp.state.ks.us.

Hi All,
Happy Sunday! It has been a great end to a wonderfully long holiday weekend. I had planned on getting in my craft room yesterday, but we decided to head out and see some fall colors instead. Unfortunately, with our warmer temps here in AZ, we didn't have a whole lot to see. But, it was nice to get out of the house and enjoy some 80 degree weather before it's gone for good.
The reason I was so excited to get in to my craft room? This adorable new stamp set called No Peeking. I hadn't even given it a second glance in the catalog, but I've seen a couple of super cute cards with it, that I had to get it. It has three images: a deer, a snowman and a penguin. They are all equally adorable! I chose the deer, as it is a little bigger than the others and it fit my focal image.
I joined in with the Mojo Monday girls and borrowed their sketch #268. I love to play with printed papers and different colors so their sketches actually come together pretty easily for me.
I wanted a more whimsical color combo and decided on these prints from the Letters to Santa DSP. They are coordinating prints and are, therefore, on the same double-sided sheet. So easy! The prints are used as accents for my focal image, but I decided to do a little paper piecing and added in the pink plaid print for the scarf. Adorable! I finished it off with a pink corduroy button, as I thought it was a nice wintery touch.
I love this set and will be making a few more cards to share with you soon! The stamps , ink and the card stock are all available for purchase. Just email me or

A Grand Gesture of Charity Is to Pray for Others
Pope's Homily in Velletri
VELLETRI, Italy, SEPT. 23, 2007, (Zenit.org).- Here is a translation of the homily Benedict XVI gave this morning during a Mass celebrated in the plaza of the Cathedral of San Clement, on the occasion of the Pope's brief pastoral visit to the suburbicarian Diocese of Velletri-Segni, some 25 miles southeast of Rome.
* * *
Dear brothers and sisters!
I have returned with great pleasure in your midst to preside over this solemn Eucharistic celebration, in response to you repeated invitations. I return with joy to meet your diocesan community, which for many years was also mine in a special way, and which is still very dear to me today. I greet you all with great affection. First of all I would like to greet Cardinal Francis Arinze, who succeeded me as titular cardinal of this diocese; I greet your pastor, Monsignor Vincenzo Apicella, whom I would like to thank for the courteous words of welcome with which he welcomed me in your name.
I greet the other bishops, priests, men and women religious, and pastoral workers, the youth and all those at work in parishes, movements, associations and various diocesan activities. I greet the prefectorial commissioner of Velletri, the mayors of towns of the Diocese of Velletri-Segni and the other civil and military authorities, who honor us with their presence.
I also greet all those who have come from other places, Germany in particular, to unite themselves to us in this day of celebration. Bonds of friendship link my native land to yours: This bronze column from Marktl am Inn, given to me in September last year in honor of my apostolic trip to Germany, is a testimony of that, and I wished it to remain here, as a further sign of my affection and my goodwill.
I know you have prepared for my visit here today with an intense spiritual journey, adopting as the motto a meaningful verse from the First Letter of John: "So we know and believe in the love that God has for us" (4:16). "Deus Caritas East," God is love: My first encyclical begins with these words, which pertain to the core of our faith –the Christian image of God and the resulting image of man and his journey.
I rejoice in the fact that you have chosen as your guide for the diocese's spiritual and pastoral journey this very expression: "We have known the love that God has for us and we have believed." Today's liturgy cannot but focus on this essential truth, on the love of God, able to impress upon human existence an absolutely new orientation and value. Love is the essence of Christianity, which renders the believer and the Christian community yeast of hope and peace in every situation, especially attentive to the necessities of the poor and needy. Love brings the Church into existence.
For the past few Sundays, St. Luke, the Gospel writer who more than the others is concerned to show the love Jesus has for the poor, he offered different ideas for reflection on the dangers of an excessive attachment to money, to material goods and to all that impedes us from loving the fullness of our vocation to love God and our brethren. Also today, through the parable that provokes a certain wonder in us because it speaks of a dishonest manager who ends up being praised (cf. Luke 16:1-13), and the Lord is offering is a salutary teaching. As he often does, he draws from current events: He speaks about a manager on the verge of being fired for his dishonest management of the affairs of his master and, to guarantee his own future, he tries to slyly come to agreements with his debtors. He is dishonest, but astute: The Gospel does not present him as a model to follow in his dishonesty, but as an example to imitate for his cautious craftiness. In fact, the brief parable ends with these words: "The master praised the unrighteous manager because he had acted shrewdly."
What does Jesus want to say to us? The Evangelist follows the parable of the unfaithful steward with a brief series of sayings and admonitions about the relationship we should have with money and the goods of this earth. Brief phrases that invite us to a choice that presupposes a radical decision, a constant interior tension. Life is in truth always a choice: between honesty and dishonesty, between faithfulness and unfaithfulness, between egoism and altruism, between good and evil. The conclusion of the Gospel selection is incisive and authoritative: "No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve God and mammon" (Luke 16:13).
Mammon is the original Phoenician term that evokes economic security and success in business; we could say that in wealth is found the idol in which one sacrifices everything to reach personal success. Therefore a fundamental decision is necessary — the choice between the logic of profit as the ultimate criteria of our action and the logic of sharing and solidarity. The logic of profit, if it prevails, increases not only the disproportion between poor and rich, but also the devastating exploitation of the planet.
When, on the other hand, the logic of sharing and solidarity prevails, it is possible to correct the course of action and orient it toward proportional development, for the common good of all. In the end it is a decision between egoism and love, between justice and dishonesty, and a final choice between God and Satan. If loving Christ and our brethren is not considered as something accessorial and superficial, but moreover the true and final scope of our existence, we must know how to make fundamental choices, to be open to radical renunciations, even martyrdom if necessary. Today, like yesterday, the Christian life demands courage to go against the tide, to love as Jesus did, who ended up sacrificing himself on the cross.
We can say therefore, paraphrasing St. Augustine, that through earthly riches we should obtain those that are true and eternal: If in fact there are people who are ready for any kind of dishonest action to ensure material well-being, which isn't sure, how much more we Christians must try to provide for our eternal happiness with the goods of this earth (cf. "Discourses" 359:10). Now, the only way our personal gifts and abilities will be fruitful along with the wealth we possess is to share them with our brethren, showing ourselves to be good stewards of what God has entrusted to us. Jesus says: "Whoever is faithful in little, is faithful also in much; and he who is dishonest in little will be dishonest also in much" (Luke 16:10-11).
The prophet Amos speaks about this fundamental choice to be performed day after day in today's first reading. With strong words, he stigmatizes a typical style of life of someone who lets themselves be drawn in by a selfish search for profit in every possible way and is transformed into a thirst for gain, a contempt for the poor and in exploitation of the poor for their own advantage (cf. Amos 4:5). The Christian must energetically reject all of this, opening his heart, on the contrary, to feelings of authentic generosity. A generosity that, as St. Paul tells us in today's second reading, is expressed in a sincere love for all and is manifested in the first place in prayer. A grand gesture of charity is to pray for others.
The Apostle invites us first of all to pray for those who carry out tasks of responsibility in the civil community, because — he explains — from their decisions, if they tend toward the common good, result in positive consequences, ensuring peace and "a calm and tranquil life with piety and dignity" for all (1 Timothy 2:2). Our prayer is just as valuable, a spiritual support for the edification of an ecclesial community faithful to Christ and to the construction of a more just and supportive society.
Dear brothers and sisters, let us pray, in a special way so that your diocesan community, that is undergoing a series of transformations, because of the transfer of many young families out of Rome, the development of the service industry and the arrival of many immigrants in town centers, may lead to an ever increasingly organic and shared pastoral action, following the indications that your bishop is offering with outstanding pastoral sensitivity.
To this end, his pastoral letter of last December proved to be very opportune with an invitation to attentive and persevering listening to God's word, to the teachings of the Second Vatican Council and the magisterium of the Church.
We place in the Madonna of Grace's hands, whose image is kept and venerated in this your beautiful cathedral, all of your intentions and pastoral projects. May the maternal protection of Mary accompany the journey of all of you present here and of those who were unable to participate in today's Eucharistic celebration. In a special way, may the Holy Virgin watch over the sick, the elderly, the children and anyone who feels alone or abandoned or is in particular need. Free us Mary from the greed of wealth, and make it so that lifting our free and pure hands, we can give glory to God with our life (cf. Offertory Prayer). Amen!

The campaign was the longest fought by the British in the Second World War. In December 1941 it began, for the British, with disaster, retreat and irreversible loss of face in front of the subject population. It ended, in August 1945, in triumph with the total defeat of the occupying Japanese army.
Why was the campaign fought? Allied aims were to keep open an overland supply route to the Chinese, thus pinning down a large Japanese army, and to re-conquer a part of the British Empire. However by the time the Burma Road had been reopened and extended the war was nearly over and aircraft had taken over, carrying more supplies over the "Hump" than could be carried by land. Furthermore, once re conquered, Burma soon became independent and within three years had left the British Commonwealth, being the first country to do so.
And yet the campaign was not a failure. It had to be fought to ensure that the Japanese had no opportunity of securing any kind of peace with the United States and her Allies by virtue of possessing a large mainland empire. A Japanese invasion of India was key to achieving such a position and the defence of Burma was key to the defence of India. There can be few who would accept that the displacement of the British Empire by that of the Japanese was in the long term interests of the local populations, especially given that the British had already committed themselves to a process that would, in time, grant independence.
In the end Japan suffered her greatest defeat on land in her history and the chief instrument of that defeat was the Indian Army. Largely officered by Britons but manned by representatives of every race from pre-partition India, the Indian Army had a unique character and in 1945 achieved its finest hour, setting many proud traditions for the current Indian and Pakistani armies. Fighting alongside the Britons, Indians and Gurkhas, there were also East and West Africans, Burmese, Karens and Kachins, Americans and Canadians, and Chinese.
The story of the Burma campaign is multi-facetted. The fighting took place not only in jungle but, in mountains and across the arid Burmese plain, baked as dry as a desert in the summer sun. Men often fought face-to-face and hand-to-hand but the campaign became very much a modern war seeing the airlifting of entire divisions, aerial re-supply, landings by glider, casualty evacuation from small jungle airstrips and the deployment of landing craft in support of sea borne invasions and river patrols.
The country and its climate were the enemy of both sides. Disease and infection could and did decimate armies - tick-borne scrub typhus, malaria, leeches and "jungle ulcers" representing just a few of the medical hazards faced by the combatants. Nor must one forget the monsoon - a period of months when the rain falls in steady sheets day after day, creating conditions where a soldier's clothing would literally rot off his backs.
March 1944. After docking in Bombay, India, my Father was assigned to No 3 R.F.U. (Refresher Flying Unit) Poona, for 14 days of Jungle Survival Course, plus familiarization to countryside and aircraft type. 8hrs.05 min. on North American Harvard and 2hrs.30min on Hawker Hurricane, which included scramble and interception, low flying and sector recognisance.
April 1944. Joined 152 Hyderabad (F) squadron in Rumkhapalong. Initial flying started with 3 days of familiarization on Spitfire 8.

Is the Philippines Ready for CIPURSE™ and the OSPT™ Alliance
When I first got the invite to attend the launch, presentation and workshop of the OSPT™ Alliance, I thought the first two letters represented "open source," the development model that promotes universal access via a free license to a product's design or blueprint, and universal redistribution of that design or blueprint, including subsequent improvements. You see, I also work for a Filipino IT company GoAutoDial Inc. which develops and distributes an open source telephony software solution for small and medium enterprises, especially contact centers. But as it turned out, the OSPT™ Alliance is not about open source software. It is about open standards.
Akin to the likes of IEEE or ISO standards, OSPT™ or Open Standard for Public Transport is all about providing the standards, guidelines and specifications to help the transit fare collection community move towards the next generation of secure, cost-effective, and flexible fare collection solutions based on an open standard. As part of its mission, it developed the CIPURSE™ open standard for secure fare collection systems. It is a not-for-profit and vendor-neutral industry alliance supported by members from five continents covering the whole transport value chain and beyond.
Founded by smart card manufacturers Giesecke & Devrient GmbH (G&D) and Oberthur Technologies and chip suppliers Infineon Technologies AG, and INSIDE Secure S.A. (formerly INSIDE Contactless) in January 2010, the OSPT™ Alliance collectively defined the CIPURSE™ standard.
The CIPURSE™ Certification Program documentation can be downloaded by anyone and an FAQ page is accessible to know more about OSPT™ Alliance and CIPURSE™. The CIPURSE™ specification is available to full members, associate members and evaluators. The CIPURSE™ software development kit (SDK) gives you the tools that you need to begin developing transit solutions. Members and evaluators can purchase the SDK at the OSPT™ Alliance website. White papers, videos and presentation materials are also available.
So, who are using the CIPURSE™ standards?
Let me give you a synapse of the companies and organizations presented during the workshop at The Peninsula Manila last October 14, 2014.
Deutsche Telekom, one of the world's leading integrated telecommunications companies with 140 million mobile customers, has joined the OSPT™ Alliance as an Associate Member. It is the first mobile network operator to join the alliance, and will work with the other members to help broaden support for the CIPURSE™ open security standard by the ecosystem of mobile operators, enabling it to gain greater acceptance in that market. With its NFC-capable (near field communication) SkySIM CX SIM card, Giesecke & Devrient (G&D) is providing a key security component for Deutsche Telekom's digital wallet, known as MyWallet. MyWallet can be used by all Deutsche Telekom mobile network customers with an NFC-capable smartphone. As a security partner, G&D is also supplying the MasterCard PayPass payment application to enable secure electronic payments to be made via the ClickandBuy International Ltd's virtual credit card system as the first product in Deutsche Telekom's digital wallet.
SCAL is a product of ATM of Barcelona and Smarting. During the last years, ATM of Barcelona and Smarting have been working closely to develop an abstraction layer that enables system terminals to work with different media types. This abstraction layer is called Secure Card Abstraction Layer (SCAL) and handles all media type technologies involved in the system. SCAL is the outcome of the work carried out by ATM of Barcelona and Smarting in synergy with numerous TO of the Metropolitan Area of Barcelona. The main challenge facing Barcelona (a big name which involves the City and the Metropolitan Area) was to prescribe the technology and the fare system for a myriad of different preexistences along with more than 70 transport operators (from big ones such metro or buses of Barcelona, main rail operator, tram, etc., to very little ones with just a handful of buses).
São Paulo Transporte, the municipal body which manages the operation of São Paulo city's bus lines and Brazil's largest transport operator, joined OSPT™ Alliance this year as an Associate Member. It currently has 13 million active cards in São Paulo and intends over the next few months to start developing new systems of SAM Cards which will incorporate the CIPURSE™ standard.
ITSO Ltd, the organization responsible for the UK national specification for smart ticketing, joined OSPT™ Alliance last year. The CEO of ITSO during that time mentioned that by working with the OSPT™ Alliance, ITSO will be better able to supply its members with a more diverse set of card products, including AES-based products, which is a solution the OSPT™ Alliance can deliver off the shelf in the form of CIPURSE™. ITSO Ltd. is the non-profit distributing organization that oversees the ITSO Specification for smart ticketing in the UK. ITSO helps its members to set up and run ITSO-compliant smart ticketing schemes, tests and certifies smart ticketing equipment to ensure it meets the ITSO standards and ensures the ITSO Specification is up to date and fit for purpose. ITSO operates the ITSO Security Management System (ISMS), a secure key management and distribution system specifically developed to enable ITSO-compliant smart ticketing systems to be set up.
EMONEY GROUP, a builder and operator of modern digital ecosystems for transport and municipal services in the Netherlands, joined the OSPT™ Alliance also last year. Based in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands, EMONEY GROUP is an international company that designs, builds and operates modern digital ecosystems for transport and municipal services, meeting global and local consumer needs and program owners' expectations by delivering compelling value propositions to all parties concerned: local government institutions, public services, technology providers and service operators. It intends to help create an open framework for new, standards-based automated fare collection solutions, and lending its support to the CIPURSE™ open security standard, which they are adopting as a key component of public transportation and other applications.
Infineon Technologies AG, Neubiberg, Germany, offers semiconductor and system solutions addressing three central challenges to modern society: energy efficiency, mobility, and security. They developed the cards are based on a CIPURSE™-compatible contactless security controller which are now being used in different projects in Brazil. These cards provide a convenient and cashless way to pay for services such as taxi rides or use health care. The Infineon security controller used is the only worldwide solution to support both the open CIPURSE™ standard as well as existing Mifare Classic-compatible systems enabling a smooth migration to future-proof CIPURSE™ systems. For this reason, the chip card industry awarded Infineon with the Sesames Award 2012 for the most innovative product in the transport category.
Oberthur Technologies, a global provider of digital security solutions for the mobility space, has unveiled that PEARL, its embedded secure element (SE), has been CIPURSE™-certified. As a member of the OSPT™ Alliance, Oberthur supports this open standard designed for transport authorities but also open to city services. With PEARL by Oberthur and CIPURSE™ present in the next generation of smartphones, end-users are set to be able to get on and off the train, tram or bus by waving their phone in front of a contactless terminal. Present in the payment, telecommunications and identity markets, Oberthur Technologies provides end-to-end solutions in the smart transactions, mobile financial services, machine-to-machine, digital identity and transport and access control fields. With approximately 50 sales offices across 5 continents and 10 facilities, OT's international network serves clients in 140 countries.
Can Philippine companies and organizations join the OSPT™ Alliance and use the CIPURSE™ standards? Of course! Some of the participants, from banks to telecommunications, information technology and card manufacturers, to name a few, were actually surprised having not heard of the alliance and open standards in mobility and mobile services, and transit fare collection. Though we are a nation of reinventing the wheel all the time – transit cards, expressway toll systems, rewards cards and many more are almost all unique to each company and do not conform to any single standard, I hope this opens the floodgates for Filipino companies involved in mobility and mobile services, as well as transit fare collections and many other similar applications. Joining a global alliance and using a single standard may wheel the country towards are more secure, cost-effective, flexible and interchangeable fare collection solution for all to use.
