Apple might have decided its partnership with Intel doesn't mean it has to use all of Intel's products.
AppleInsider reports that Apple could be using a chipset from a different company--or even an internally developed one--in the next iteration of the MacBook, expected to arrive in the next six or eight weeks. Like other notebook vendors, Apple had been using Intel's mobile Centrino chipsets in its MacBook line ever since 2006 but it's going to pass on the Montevina version of those chipsets this time around, according to the report.
Intel has done an excellent job reinventing the company around mobile processors, starting with the original Pentium M design back in 2004 and carrying forward to today's Core 2 Duo. But it has done a much less stellar job with the integrated graphics chipsets that connect those processors to the rest of the system, such as the memory chips and hard drives.
Most notebooks use integrated graphics chipsets over discrete graphics chips to cut down on power consumption, but the graphics performance of Intel's chipsets leave a lot to be desired. Microsoft was less-than-thrilled about the performance of the chipsets that were scheduled to arrive with Windows Vista, and Intel has had problems getting other chipsets to live up to their promise.
If it's an internally designed chipset that Apple has in place for the new systems, history would be repeating itself at the company, which used to design much of the internal hardware that went along with IBM's PowerPC chips back in the day. Apple recently acquired a passel of chip designers from P.A. Semi, but Steve Jobs has said those folks are working on future chips for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
AppleInsider thinks Apple might have contracted with Advanced Micro Devices or Via for the new chipsets, but offers no details on what might actually be inside the new systems. GivenNvidia's huge mobile chipset problem this summer, it is probably not in the running if Apple's looking at other suppliers.
In other pending MacBook news, Computerworld reports that the new systems will arrive in September with glass touchpads, which seems a bit curious. Glass might allow for all kinds of trackpad-oriented multitouch goodness, but it seems like a warranty nightmare to me.
The new notebooks are expected to borrow design cues from the MacBook Air and bring the aluminum casing on the MacBook Pro and MacBook Air to the MacBook.

Are you thinking about honors study? These pages will serve as an introduction to the honors programs at Mississippi College. We hope that you will find this information helpful. Of course, if you have a specific question or would like to talk directly to one of the honors professors, contact Dr. David Miller (email@example.com), chair of the Honors Council.
General Information
Mississippi College commits itself to academic excellence. Part of that commitment is providing special opportunities for motivated and academically strong students to further and deepen their educational experiences.
Incoming freshmen with superior ACT or SAT scores will be invited to participate in freshmen honors classes. These classes vary from year to year but will usually include literature, history and writing sections and will count toward the core curriculum requirements.
Sophomores will have the opportunity to complete part of their social science requirement by taking a special honors section in those areas. This seminar is offered each fall semester.
Juniors and seniors have the opportunity to continue taking honors seminars as well as engaging in an independent reading, research and writing project in an area of their interests. Successful completion of the independent project leads to graduation "with honors" or with "high honors" in addition to any Latin honors the student might receive. While fewer than 4% of students participate in the honors programs, those who do find it a challenging and rewarding way to cross disciplinary boundaries, sharpen their academic skills, and join with professors in meaningful inquiry.

John Carmack has parted ways with id Software, a move that was once inconceivable when he was part owner of the Mesquite-based developer, but had become possible when Bethesda Softworks parent Zenimax bought id in 2009, and perhaps inevitable when Carmack joined Oculus Rift over the summer. John's twitter feed has his comment (thanks Paul): "I wanted to remain a technical adviser for Id, but it just didn't work out. Probably for the best, as the divided focus was challenging." IGN has id's statement: "John Carmack, who has become interested in focusing on things other than game development at id, has resigned from the studio," id's studio director Tim Willits told IGN. "John's work on id Tech 5 and the technology for the current development work at id is complete, and his departure will not affect any current projects. We are fortunate to have a brilliant group of programmers at id who worked with John and will carry on id's tradition of making great games with cutting-edge technology. As colleagues of John for many years, we wish him well." John later tweeted once more about this: "If they don't want me to talk on stage at Quakecon next year, we'll just have to fill up the lobby like the old days. :-)"

Augmented Reality in the Drivers' Seat
Augmented reality (AR) isn't new but it definitely continues to gain momentum and is becoming a driving force in the way we engage with our content rich world. An AR experience is appealing to most age demographics because it enables us to interact in fresh and engaging ways with a variety of mediums. So no surprise that ABI Research estimates the market for augmented reality in the US will reach $350 million in 2014. That's up from only $6 million in 2008!
I have explained in past blog posts what AR is in detail, see the below list of blog links to learn more. To recap for those who are new to the concept Wikipedia defines augmented reality (AR) as a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.
Here is an example of AR solutions that have been generating a lot of buzz and excitement J
At CES this year Mercedes Benz unveiled their experimental networked applications with augmented-reality and gesture-controlled features. Of course Mercedes is not the only automaker exploring how to make the car smarter and most are experimenting with voice controlled features because obviously there are safety concerns with these approaches.
"Cars are becoming platforms to participate in the digital world in a fully networked sense, just like your tablets can and your phones can," said Venkatesh Prasad, a senior technical leader with Ford Motor Co.'s innovation division. "It's our job to take those computing services people are used to at 0 mph and make them available at 70 mph."
For example, icons flash on your car windshield, hologram style, as your car approaches restaurants, stores, historic landmarks or the homes of friends. Point at them, and the icons open to show real-time information such as when that building was built, concert schedules at a local theater, or reservation options at a restaurant. Wave your hand again, and you've made a restaurant reservation. Or take Mercedes' messaging app which will create a menu of text options based on your location and your car's speed — "I'm stuck in traffic," or "I'm just north of San Jose" — and display them on the screen. So if you are late to a meeting you can choose from the options and push a button to post the one that fits, instead of having to manually type the words.
These systems are not road ready yet and most automakers are looking beyond to making the road safer by working on systems that would allow vehicles to talk to each other about road conditions, weather and traffic issues. These systems will also focus on driver safety and welfare for example monitoring glucose levels for a diabetic driver, pollen levels for an allergy prone driver, or the driver's face for alertness to prevent accidents cause by a driver falling asleep.
I look forward to technology making the roads safer for all of us. I am glad to see the automakers are focusing on how to enable technology that has a clear benefit to the passengers but is balanced against keeping safety foremost in importance.
Want to learn more about AR, below are a list of blogs I have written previously on AR:
- Clarity and Togetherness, Thanks to Augmented Reality
- AR Gets Smart and Goes 3D
- Augmenting with Tablets
- At the Peak of Inflated Expectations, is AR OK?

Funeral services for James Gandolfini are scheduled for this week at the Cathedral Church of Saint John the Divine in New York City, a spokeswoman says, as the iconic "Sopranos" actor's home state of New Jersey lowers its flags to half-staff in memory of its native son.
An HBO spokeswoman said on the family's behalf that Gandolfini's New York funeral will be held at 10 a.m. Thursday at the church on 112th Street and Amsterdam Avenue.
The 51-year-old star of "The Sopranos" died Wednesday in Rome. Family spokesman Michael Kobold says Gandolfini died of a heart attack.
Port Authority of New York & New Jersey spokesman Steve Coleman tells the Star-Ledger of Newark that a Signature Airlines flight carrying Gandolfini's body arrived at Newark Liberty International Airport from Rome Sunday night. The body was taken from the airport around 11:20 p.m. but Coleman did not say where.
The actor had been headed to Sicily to appear at the Taormina Film Festival, which paid tribute to him Saturday.
Meanwhile, flags in Gandolfini's home state will be flown at half-staff Monday in memory of the New Jersey icon.
The flag directive was issued Friday by Gov. Chris Christie, who said Gandolfini was an iconic actor who "left a timeless impact upon television and film in the state of New Jersey and across our nation."
Gandolfini was born in Westwood. He grew up in Park Ridge and attended Rutgers, the state's flagship public university.
Christie has called the actor, acclaimed for his role as mobster Tony Soprano, a "New Jersey treasure."

How does a company boost output by 250% within just three years? If you asked Newfield Exploration (NYSE:NFX), it would blatantly state the Anadarko Basin. With plans to more than double output this year from the Anadarko Basin, Newfield Exploration is banking on stacked benches.
A 700 foot stack
Oklahoma is home to the Anadarko Basin, housing the Meramec and Woodford Stack region, which is roughly 700 feet long and full of oil. By testing out the lower part of the Meramec, Newfield Exploration will open up more of the oil column for extraction.
So far Newfield Exploration has tested out the upper part of the Meramec and the Woodford shale and was successful in finding crude. This strongly reinforces the idea that the lower Meramec could also hold significant amounts of oil not being recognized fully on its balance sheet.
Four wells in the Woodford have been brought online, with an average initial production rate of 890 boe/d. In the Meramec, another four wells were brought online with an average production of 1,032 boe/d. Both had a similar oil production mix of ~80%, making additional reserves extremely valuable.
Another part of the 700-foot long oil column is the South Central Oklahoma Oil Province. Wells in the oil window of the SCOOP on average post initial production levels of 1,500 boe/d, with that climbing to 1,900 boe/d in the wet-gas window. The downside to higher production is the oil mix drops to 55% and 30%, respectively, which is compensated by higher NGL, or natural gas liquids, output.
Newfield Exploration is going to spend $700 million, or 44%, of its capital expenditure budget in 2014 developing the Anadarko Basin. The idea is to triple output to roughly 60,000 boe/d by 2016 from 20,000 boe/d currently, making it Newfield's biggest producing asset. This is a strategic shift from previous years when the Uinta basin was Newfield Exploration's primary source of growth.
With 225,000 net acres and an extensive drilling inventory in the Anadarko Basin, Newfield Exploration has a good chance of delivering on its promises and maximizing shareholder value through exploration efforts. If the lower Meramec turns up more crude, then the Anadarko Basin will provide even more production growth than currently predicted. From the first quarter of 2013 to 2016, Newfield Exploration plans to boost output from 50,900 boe/d to 130,000 boe/d, largely on the back of stacked plays in the Anadarko Basin.
Other plays
Not to leave out the rest of the leading America oil plays, Newfield Exploration is investing in three other plays with its 2014 budget;
1. $330 million in the Bakken to grow output by 40% to 16,500 boe/d
2. $400 million to grow Uinta Basin production by 5% to 23,500 boe/d
3. $170 million to grow Eagle Ford output by 30% to 11,000 boe/d
This comes as Newfield Exploration doubles output from the Anadarko Basin to 40,000 boe/d this year. Newfield isn't the first to try to tap into a stacked Anadarko Basin play. Apache (NYSE:APA) has successfully tapped into five benches of the basin with great results. From the Granite Wash to the Tonkawa, Apache has big plans to access as much of the recoverable resources as possible.
Proven success
Apache has spent heavily developing a stacked region nearby with much success. To the west of Newfield's operations, Apache is developing oilfields along the Oklahoma-Texas border in a different part of the Anadarko Basin.
Five major benches are stacked on top of each other with other possibilities to test out. Due to Apache's success in tapping into each bench, management thinks Apache can add ~4 billion barrels of oil equivalent to its reserves from the Central Region. This also conservatively estimates the potential of Apache's Woodford acreage, which still needs to be developed and fully appraised.
In all, Apache sees 11 different plays in the Anadarko Basin with plans to drill into each one. This is why the Central Region makes up half of Apache's potentially recoverable reserves and is a crucial part of the Apache value story. By finding new benches to tap into, Apache thinks it can almost triple its proven reserves from just its shale assets alone.
Foolish conclusion
Back a few years ago, it was all about how much acreage you could acquire; now it's about who can make the most of their acreage. Up in the Bakken, players like Continental Resources are testing out the lower rungs over the Three-Forks formation. Down in the Permian Basin, Apache and many others have been trying to develop the Cline Shale (Wolfcamp Part D).
Newfield Exploration is very interested in testing out additional benches in the Anadarko Basin. Due to the success others have had not just in the Anadarko Basin but in shale plays across the country testing out various benches, shareholders should expect Newfield to find large amounts of crude still to be uncovered on its acreage.

Olympiacos FC and Beşiktaş JK are among the teams that have discovered their opposition after the draws for the UEFA Europa League first and second qualifying rounds were made.
The competition will begin on 1 and 8 July with the first qualifying round. Among the 26 ties, 2008/09 UEFA Champions League group stage participants Anorthosis Famagusta FC will play FC Banants of Armenia. Fair Play winners Randers FC, Gefle IF and Myllykosken Pallo-47 respectively take on F91 Dudelange, NSÍ Runavík and JK Trans Narva.
Joining the winners from that round are 54 clubs entering in the second qualifying round. That includes three of last season's UEFA Champions League group stage contenders; with Olympiacos playing Albania's KS Besa, Beşiktaş up against Faroese side Vikingur and APOEL FC meeting the winner of the first qualifying round tie between Llanelli AFC and FK Tauras.
Those 40 ties will be played on 15 and 22 July and the day after the first leg the third qualifying round draw will be made with 30 clubs making their bow including Liverpool FC and Juventus. That will be followed by the play-off round with more clubs being introduced including 15 sides from the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round before the group stage lineup is confirmed with only one team already ensured entry: holders Club Atlético de Madrid. The final is at the Dublin Arena on 18 May 2011

Cisco Unified Workspace Helps Schools Adopt BYOD with Ease
I'm switching gears from last week's Public Sector BYOD Thursday blog on BYOD in the government – it's time to talk about education!
While I was visiting my 6 year old niece in Denver last week, she amazed me with her agility when navigating the iPad. I watched in awe as she surfed the American Girl website, downloaded videos from YouTube, and played games. With children engaging so well with personal devices, it's no wonder educators want to leverage technology as a learning tool.
While a BYOD-friendly environment certainly lends itself to greater productivity, mobility, flexibility and employee satisfaction, it also raises certain challenges, especially in education settings. After all, when it comes to schools, we're not just talking about employees; staff, teachers and, most importantly, students all must be taken into consideration.
We know many students and staff want access to their personal devices while they're at school. They want to use these devices for planning, research and work purposes, ranging from group projects to personal email accounts and social networks. The desire for wireless connectivity from personal devices is certainly strong at universities. In fact, the University of South Florida (USF) negotiates 40,000 wireless users, with up to 11,000 of them simultaneously accessing the network at any given time.
Schools find themselves addressing issues of scalability, security, manageability and budget when it comes to developing and implementing BYOD policies. How will they accommodate in real time the explosion of new devices and applications that students and staff want to use on the network? How will they regulate who uses what device from which location in what manner? How will they support BYOD within a restricted budget?
Cisco helped USF securely expand its network to meet the demands of its population by implementing a streamlined wireless solution. Cisco provided a network that scales to meet the university's needs, centralizes maintenance, and provides intuitive, intelligent management protocols.
With Cisco's Unified Workspace, we're enabling educational institutions everywhere to realize the same successful transition to BYOD. We've detailed our BYOD solution for education here, so please take a look. Let us know if you have any questions about the technicalities—we're always here to elaborate and explain!
It's our mission to provide cost-effective, comprehensive network-based solutions that let schools create 21st-century connected learning environments. There's no question that BYOD can and must be part of such an environment. Are you ready to make it happen?
Next week we're going mobile!
*Cisco is also currently on the road talking about all things BYOD. Find out if it's coming to a city near you.

Hi Amy,
This is an interesting application of BYOD to a sector with special needs and consituents.
For a more general overview of BYOD and the "consumerization of IT", I invite you to check out a recent paper by the CEO of one of Cisco's Premier Partners Coranet:

My youngest daughter came for dinner last night and did a feeding for me. Yeah! Like all babies, the squirrel baby gets sleepy as she's eating and is out when she's done! Reminds me of nursing my own precious babies. Ahhh, what precious times and cherished memories! I took this shot of her holding the baby.
When I look at this picture all I can think of is how helpless we all are in truth. Oh yes, we think we are big and strong and are handling life on our own. We are doing it. But the truth is we can't even get our next breath or heart beat without God providing it. Every second of every day of our lives He is actively aware of us, providing for us, loving us, inviting us to come close to Him, to take Jesus as our Savior and protecting us in His strong hands.
We are as helpless as this baby squirrel. We only delude ourselves into thinking we don't need Him. It's a dangerous lie to believe. If we believe it long enough, we will leave this world without Him and spend eternity in hell with no possible way of escape...as helpless to change our fate there as we are here to add a minute to our lives. The only real power we have is choice. We can choose to repent of our sins and ask Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, to be our Savior, giving Him our lives and all of ourselves and then being immersed in water baptism in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit as we are commanded as soon as possible...or not to. I'd love to meet you on the other side on that glorious day when He parts the sheep and the goats. Lord may we all please be found to be Your sheep!
- " 31"But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.
- 32"All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
- 33and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.
- 34"Then the King will say to those on His right, 'Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
- 41"Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;
- 46'These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.'" Matthew 25: 31-46

Ceremony to honor Kinston institution tonight at 2110 North Queen Street
In 1888, the Kinston Salvation Army started as a beginner outpost in New Bern. It became a full-fledged corps a month later � and it still stands today.
The Kinston Salvation Army is celebrating its 125th year by turning its annual dinner into an anniversary celebration. Tonight�s meal will be addressed by the area�s division commander, Maj. Willis Howell of Charlotte, and attendees will be entertained by the afterschool program youth�s cheerleading, song and dance.
Corps Officers Maj. Robin Starr and Maj. Pamela Starr, who are married, are expecting more than 100 people, but are preparing for up to 185.
�This is 125 years of service to the people in this community and the surrounding areas,� Pamela Starr said. �We�re into two centuries now. It�s just the beginning of what we can do, (and) we�re not going to stop just because we�ve gotten to 125 years, by any means.�
In the past year, Salvation Army has assisted nearly 18,000 people � including social services and holiday needs. It gave more than 64,000 meals, 1,300 food baskets, 1,700 clothing items and paid more than 1,800 utility, rent and light bills.
More than 3,400 people volunteered at Kinston Salvation Army its past fiscal year.
�(I volunteer to help kids and to help the community,� said 17-year-old Nick Blake, who works with the afterschool program. �When I work at Salvation Army, I look at different people (who are) going through things, who don�t feel too well or who are having problems at school. I�m here to help them with that problem. The Salvation Army is good, there is nothing bad about it.�
While the social service aid is a major aspect of the Salvation Army, the Starrs never overlook the religious side of the organization.
�The deeper purpose (of Salvation Army) is the spiritual part,� Robin Starr said. �The Salvation Army started as a church. The church is the main aspect. � The reason we help people is because of the Lord.�
Pamela Starr said being a Salvation Army officer is a calling from God and a way to preach to people.
�We can preach the Gospel, but if (people) don�t have adequate food and a comfortable place to listen to that gospel, it won�t stick,� she said. �We have to take care of their needs and then preach the gospel to them.�
She has been an officer for 20 years, while Robin Starr has 21 years as an officer. They have headed Kinston�s Salvation Army together for nearly four years.
They predict the organization will last another 125 years in the area.
�My plan before I pray the benediction is to say, �We�ve only just begun,�� Robin Starr said.
The Salvation Army currently sits at 2110 North Queen Street, which was built in 1971. The former location �near Southeast Elementary School� is now a daycare. Pictures of that brick building will be displayed at tonight�s celebration dinner.
�The reason we help people is because we love the Lord,� Robin Starr said.
The Starrs and their three children work together to serve the Lenoir, Greene and Duplin County communities.
�I just enjoy being here and helping others,� Jackie Starr, 18, said.
Her mom said it�s their job.
�This is a family thing,� Pamela Starr said. �Our children know that they, too, are part of this community, have to improve this community and have to serve this community through the Lord Jesus Christ. That�s our mission as a family.�

A controversial U.S. shipment of bomb-grade plutonium escorted by armed British commandos has set sail for France, despite protests from environmental activists who fear a terrorist attack or an accident.
PARIS A controversial U.S. shipment of bomb-grade plutonium escorted by armed British commandos has set sail for France, despite protests from environmental activists who fear a terrorist attack or an accident.
The shipment is the most contentious nuclear shipment in years, with activists questioning the wisdom of transporting such security-sensitive cargo at a time of heightened risk of terror attacks globally.
French nuclear energy firm Areva, whose Cogema unit will recycle the plutonium, said the shipment left Charleston, South Carolina, this week for France aboard two British ships.
"The cargo is protected by armed guards throughout its journey, and the ships are equipped with naval guns," Areva said in a statement.
The shipment is part of a postCold War agreement between the United States and Russia to get rid of plutonium from excess nuclear warheads.
The U.S. government said Areva had a permit to transport 140 kg of plutonium but the actual shipment was 125 kg. It said the program would remove weapons-grade plutonium from the grasp of terror groups.
"We're not just doing this for the heck of it. We're doing it for nonproliferation and security reasons," said Bryan Wilkes, spokesman for the U.S. National Nuclear Security Administration, an independent arm of the U.S. Energy Department. "It's toward a nonproliferation goal of reducing the number of nuclear weapons and ensuring that this plutonium can never be used in a nuclear weapon again," Wilkes said.
Greenpeace criticized the transport, saying upon arrival in the northern French city of Cherbourg, the plutonium would be driven over 660 miles (1062 km) in highly vulnerable trucks to a factory in south-eastern France.
"This shipment sends the strongest signal that the United States holds little regard for global efforts to keep nuclear weapons materials out of commerce," Tom Clements of Greenpeace International said in a statement. "It is the height of arrogance to conduct a shipment like this while demanding other nations refrain from proliferating nuclear weapons materials and technologies," he added.
Areva's Cogema unit will recycle the plutonium into nuclear fuel at its Cadarache and Marcoule plants in south-eastern France and ship it back to the United States which plans to use it in an electricity-generating reactor.
This is part of the U.S. Department of Energy's controversial programme to turn plutonium from the "excess" nuclear warheads into mixed-oxide (MOX) plutonium-uranium enriched fuel. The MOX plutonium-uranium enriched fuel is controversial because critics fear it could potentially be used to build nuclear weapons.

text: NEW YORK (MarketWatch) -- Analysts at Citigroup on Monday initiated research coverage of Apple Inc. AAPL, +0.45% with a buy rating and a price target of $675 a share, which implies a roughly 20% expected return. After a drop in the stock price that began on Sept. 21, Apple shares "have corrected consistent with the average" in the past and with companies that have shown similar deceleration, analysts noted. The analysts said their price target is 11% below the average among Wall Street analysts in a move to reflect "our perception that risks for Apple are increasingly coming into focus." Citi's analysts said the company's share of the smartphone market faces competition from low-end versions. Citi analysts said they see upside from Apple's tablet sales.

Iran said early Sunday it successfully test-fired short-range missiles during drills by the elite Revolutionary Guard, speaking the same day the country said it will allow U.N. inspectors to probe its newly exposed nuclear development site, giving in to worldwide demands that the underground site's contents be revealed to the public.
The Iranian government also said it planned to launch a long-range missile tomorrow, a warhead that is reportedly capable of hitting Israel and U.S. bases in the region.
The uranium enrichment facility in the outskirts of the city of Qom in western Iran was publicly revealed Friday by Western intelligence officials and diplomats during a meeting of U.N. leaders. Its concealment from the Western world has indicated that Iran has something to hide, despite the country's claims to the contrary.
Iran's agreement comes the same day the U.S. said it plans to tell Tehrani officials at a Thursday meeting in Geneva alongside six major world powers that the country must provide "unfettered access" for the International Atomic Energy Agency to probe the new site.
Obama said in his weekly address Saturday he was ready to open a "serious, meaningful dialogue" about Iran's nuclear weapons program.

2017-06-14 - Embracing your Dad bod? Sick of standing around in the playground checking your smartphone? Try switching it up and take your son or daughter out for a run. Trust us - your little one will love it too. Take it from these dads:
The Italian Mattia Modonutti (@rock_and_run) shows us how it's done with his family in Qatar. His eighteen-month-old daughter Maia loves the ride and sometimes waves at Mom from the Runner when she and Dad go out together. The Bugaboo Runner has an adjustable handlebar outfitted with a speed brake, and the chassis folds up compactly for travel.
Lars Juul Madsen (@larsjuulmadsen) puts in a lot of time and distance in the Bugaboo Runner. Lars and his daughter Alberte, hailing from Denmark, trained for the Copenhagen Marathon and ran it with the Bugaboo Runner. In the photo below Alberte is watching the two running buddies make funny faces while Dad puts in a fast 10 km.
What looked like it was going to be a rainstorm ended up being a rosy sunrise for father Lars (@larszachariassen) in Norway. Time to stow away the rain cover – now that calls for a selfie! Lars is training for a triathlon - and with three boys under the age of 4, putting in time outside doesn't have to mean sacrificing quality time with the kids.
Even if you're not planning on running a marathon, getting outside, getting your heart pumping and working up a light sweat can give you that boost of energy you might be missing. Simon Issacs, creator of dad site Fatherly.com, tells us how going for a run helps to bring back the feeling of freedom he had pre-baby. But now he wouldn't change it for the world – especially as his little girl Kaia loves to go out with dad (and sometimes the dog!) for a morning run. Here he's got the Bugaboo Buffalo by Diesel Denim on the Runner chassis. Did you know every Bugaboo stroller could be a Runner with the right adapters?
Father and twenty-three-time windsurfing champion Antoine L'Beau (@antoinealbeau) gives us a taste of the French coastline between Nantes and Bordeaux at sunset. The chassis can easily take on the wet sand at the beach. Nous aimons!
The air-filled tires and shock-absorbent suspension can power over any uneven terrain, bumps or potholes you may encounter on the way. You can switch up the seat direction in thirty seconds or less: the reversible seat system on Bugaboo Runner means you can watch the baby while you're running, or have him face forward to watch the world around him. Here British Olympic champion long jumper Greg Rutherford takes his son Milo out for a spin with writer-blogger-mum Susie Verrill (@susiejverrill). In order to turn the Runner, you need to lift up the front wheel, which we're told leads their son to giggle with delight and excitement. What's not to love?
Don't wait for 2018 New Year's resolutions, Dads. Get out there and explore the world. The Bugaboo Runner was designed with you in mind. Who run the world?

text: Thanks to YouTube, cup playing has gone from a thing you did at summer camp in middle school (at least it's a thing that I did at summer camp in middle school [Ed: I've never even HEARD of this!]) to a full-blown trend showing up in TV, movies and on actual albums. In fact, actress Anna Kendrick is such a fan of cup playing (cup taping? cup drumming?) that she got producers to let her do it in her new movie Pitch Perfect. She's since taken her act on the road, having recently performed a cup-accompanied rendition of "Cups" by Lulu & the Lampshades while visiting The Late Show with David Letterman. Letterman, who — rumor has it — generally objects to doing anything that gets him out of his chair, was so impressed that he gave her a standing ovation.

BlackBerry announced Tuesday plans to release its BBM messaging service to iOS and Android devices this summer.
"You may ask, why is BlackBerry doing this now?" asked Thorsten Heims, BlackBerry CEO. "It's a statement of confidence...It's time for BlackBerry Messaging to become a platform-independent messaging solution."
BBM on iOS will feature messaging and group management first, but BlackBerry plans to roll out additional features over the rest of the year, including voice, screen sharing, video, and the newest feature, BBM Channels.
BlackBerry claims that BBM now has over 60 million monthly active users, with more than 51 million people using BBM an average of 90 minutes per day, so it's a very active messaging ecosystem.
System requirements will call for iOS devices running iOS 6 or later, and it'll be a free download - assuming Apple approves the app, of course. But given then availability of other messaging products for iOS, it seems unlikely there would be a problem.

At the Hayden Planetarium's Rose Center for Earth and Space, a merger of architectural and theatrical/entertainment lighting systems helps create the most technologically advanced planetarium imaginable.
The newly renovated, $210-million Rose Center for Earth and Space at New York City's American Museum of Natural History opens the eyes of visitors to the vastness and wonder of the universe using spectacular theater shows and interactive displays.
With few artifacts to show, the planetarium's exhibits rely on pushing technology to the limit. Video walls, 3-D computer modeling, and sound loops are used to reach audiences that range widely in age, interest and education.
Replacing the Hayden Planetarium's original 1930s Art Deco structure, the Rose Center includes the Cullman Hall of the Universe, the Gottesman Hall of Planet Earth, and the centerpiece of the 333,500-sq-ft seven-floor facility: an 87-ft sphere that houses the new Hayden Planetarium. The white, aluminum-clad sphere appears to float in a 95-ft high glass cube. Located directly beneath the sphere, the Hall of the Universe houses interactive educational displays.
More than 1.2 million ft of electrical power and low-voltage control wiring, operating a wide array of lighting equipment, provide the visual and aural stimulation behind these educational efforts.
COLLABORATION, THE NEW YORK CITY WAY Working directly for the installing electrical contractor, E-J Electric Installation Co., Long Island City, N.Y., Barbizon Lighting, a specialty electrical distributor in New York City, provided system integration, lighting equipment, project management and technical recommendations on four different lighting systems.
The Space Theater, the Space Theater's Pre-Show area and the Hall of the Universe hold three of these systems. The fourth, called the Events Lighting system, provides control and power distribution for portable lighting equipment used on a temporary basis. In addition, Barbizon provided complete installation documentation, technical recommendations for installing the equipment and system programming for the four systems.
Under the direction of project manager John Gebbie, Barbizon also worked in conjunction with a number of consultants; the construction manager, Morse-Diesel International; and museum personnel to provide value engineering on certain aspects of the project.
"Many electrical contractors are unfamiliar with the specification and maintenance of theatrical equipment, or how to wire these instruments on a truss, so this is where we provide valuable help," said Jeffrey Siegal, systems integrator at Barbizon. "We deal with factors such as proper mounting, access for maintenance and emergency lighting codes."
Specialty and theatrical lighting fixtures are available with a wide range of lamps, color, focus, control and accessory options, and are now installed as permanent architectural accent lighting or "architainment lighting."
"We see a great deal more dimming being done in architectural spaces today and a greater use of permanently installed theatrical or special effects lighting to add visual impact to these spaces," Siegal said. "We see that today's architects are more open to use a building for both color and texture."
The museum called on Barbizon to do construction administration, review contractor submittals and answer all types of installation questions, which happened often on this project.
"There was tremendous amount of coordination between all the trades and the design teams for this project," said Jonathan Rensick, president of Barbizon. "It was up to us to interface so there would be a smooth construction process as far as the lighting systems were concerned."
LOOKING AT THE DETAILS An ETC theatrical dimming and control system, along with a DMX distribution system for special events, is used in the Space Theater. Additionally, an Emergency Lighting Transfer System and Contact Closure Interface links up with the life safety and A/V systems.
For the Pre-Show area, where visitors gather before entering the Space Theater, an ETC Unison Architectural Control System was installed. A contact closure interface also links up the life safety and A/V systems, and ETC Alternate Source Transfer Switches serve as a cost-effective way of switching normal power to emergency power.
The distributor provided project management, on-site field supervision and system programming for Auberbach + Glasow, the lighting consultant on both the Space Theater and the Pre-Show areas.
Barbizon also provided technical recommendations for the installation of the equipment along with project management and on-site field supervision for the lighting equipment in the Hall of the Universe, a permanent exhibition area on the lower level of the Rose Center. Here, fiber optics and fluorescent sources illuminate the artifacts and cutout texts used in the displays.
More than 200 fluorescent lighting circuits with a power consumption of about 300A, are used in this area, and each circuit has architectural dimming down to about 1% of output. Thus, in most cases, a 15A branch circuit is dedicated to a single individual fluorescent fixture, so most of the branch circuit loads are less than 60W.
Because conventional SCR dimming does not operate well under low loads, Barbizon developed a unique dimming system using special fluorescent dimmer ballast controller cards. Each card receives a DMX signal and can power four-20A circuits. Similar dimmer racks are provided for dimming incandescent loads. Low-voltage relay panels with DMX Interfaces and relay drivers are used for controlling power to fiber-optic illuminators and LED controllers.
These dimmer racks and control panels are housed in three 5-ft deep pits, or wells, beneath the exhibit hall. Since the pits are too shallow to accommodate full-size dimmer racks, Barbizon custom-designed smaller racks and panels. The DMX signals are sent to each relay panel and distributed within each Fluorescent Dimmer Ballast Controller Enclosure across anywhere from four to 15 controller cards.
Using either an astronomical time clock or presets that are recalled on an LCD control station, an architectural control system operates the entire exhibit. A contact Closure Interface connects with the A/V system and the life-safety system.
LIGHTING AROUND THE SPHERE Ralph Applebaum of Applebaum & Associates, the exhibition designer, placed a number of spherical objects near the nine-story sphere to illustrate the relative size of the planets and other elements in our universe. They are hung from the ceiling and affixed to railings, and are linked with educational messages saying, for example, "If the sphere is the sun, then this 9-inch ball is earth, and if the sphere is a rhinovirus than this 10-inch ball is a hydrogen atom."
Fifty-three ellipsoidal theatrical lighting instruments (with 5-deg, 10-deg and 19-deg beam spreads), mounted on a catwalk 90 ft above the floor, illuminate the hanging models and other nearby exhibits. Fitted with up to 575-W long-life incandescent sources, these fixtures provide narrowly-focused illumination.
The 19-deg beam spread fixtures also provide illumination for a second floor walkway. Control is provided by a Lutron 6000 architectural dimming system, which also controls other architectural lighting in the building.
"Various presets change the mood in the entire space for events at night," said Larry Kochman, lighting systems project manager for E-J Electric. "The general illumination during the day highlights the different exhibits. Come evening, the mood changes as the sphere is bathed in blue and the orbs are glowing."
Fluorescent floodlights in shielded locations above and below provide the blue glow to the sphere. Louvered to minimize source brightness, these fixtures use 4-ft, T12 lamps, having a 20,000-hour average rated life, for reduced maintenance costs. The planet models are lighted from below by shielded filament, low-voltage narrow beam spotlights located with the fluorescent floodlights on the lower edge of a balcony. Lighting the sphere was a major challenge for the design team at Fischer Marantz Stone, the lighting consultants.
EVENTS LIGHTING SYSTEM The events lighting package for the exhibit area beneath the sphere, designed by Charles Stone of Fischer Marantz Stone, features a distributed dimming system as well as hanging points for truss at key points in the space.
"It's the first major public building design that allows theatrical lighting to come in off the truck and hang without running any cable," he said.
Recessed floor boxes and custom faceplates can distribute 120-V and 208-V power and control circuits where they are needed. A total of 20 portable dimmer boxes can be hung at any of the lighting positions and plugged into a DMX control station to provide special events lighting without running cables on the floor.
In addition to installing the lighting and audio systems, E-J Electric also installed an array of communications networks at the museum. Most importantly, the fiber-optic network cabling connecting the supercomputer to the Space Theater control console involves 96 multi-mode fibers and 48 single-mode fibers. The contractor also made low-loss fusion splicing to the museum's existing fiber-optic data network.
Called lighting instruments, theatrical fixtures offer more flexibility in terms of aim, focus, direction and shape, and tend to produce a more evenly-distributed and easily-controllable beam that can be soft- or hard-edged, colored and patterned. These fixtures can also maintain the integrity of the beam for a longer throw-a feature especially useful in atriums and lobbies. In addition to control, theatrical fixtures allow manipulation and variety.
Technology developments allow fixtures, control systems and lighting techniques used predominantly in the theater to be integrated into architectural lighting schemes to produce more varied effects. For example, Lutron Electronics Co., Coopersburg, Pa., offers a Two Link panel that allows an architectural space, such as a school auditorium, to be operated by its Grafik Eye 4000 or 6000 architectural control system and a theatrical console using the DMX 512 control protocol.
However, regular system maintenance is very important because theatrical fixture lamps generally do not have a 15,000-hr to 20,000-hr rated life. Thus, it is useful for a user to form a relationship with a local theatrical rental shop or an electrical distributor and develop a service contract. Another tip is to hire trained technicians who can troubleshoot a problem.

Coming in August: Gold label Byron Lars Fenella Layla. This doll is also over-the-top but in a stylish and wonderful way like his entire line. The dip 'n dunk arms gotta go along with the model body but that's a never-ending battle and it's useless to hope it will change. The outfit is amazing.
The Mackie style is static. Nothing new; nothing innovative-just more glitter, sequins, feathers and glitz. There have been a few stunners but it's time to end the line IMO.
Byron Lars on the other hand, is a designer with a vision and a feel for style. His work changes and evolves. I may not like everything he does but at least there's something happening.

Hollywood power couple Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have officially tied the knot.
The Associated Press reports that the two wed in Correns, France this past weekend at a small chapel in Chateau Miraval. The ceremony was said to be attended by friends and family, and their children helped out with the family affair as well. Sons Maddox and Pax walked her down the aisle, daughters Zahara and Vivienne were flower girls, and Shiloh and Knox were ring bearers.
Speculation that the couple would get hitched ramped up recently. In an interview with the Associated Press in 2012, Pitt said "to concretize it in that way, it actually means more to me than I thought it would. It means a lot to our kids."

Google Capital Leads $100M Round For Services Marketplace Thumbtack
Just three months after Thumbtack Inc. raised $30 million in a round that founder Marco Zappacosta said his startup didn't need, the services marketplace has raised $100 million more.
Google Capital led the infusion, valuing the five-year-old company at more than $800 million in a round designed to prepare it for an eventual IPO. Existing investors Tiger Global Management, Sequoia Capital and Javelin Venture Partners also participated in the Series D round.
The funding marks the latest in a half-dozen deals Google Inc.'s growth-equity venture fund has completed since it formed last year and represents a major turning point for the San Francisco-based startup.
Founded in 2009, Thumbtack aims to make hiring a wedding photographer, landscaper or other professional as easy as buying a book on Amazon.com. It competes against Yelp Inc. and Angie's List Inc. as well as venture-backed startups such as Fiverr Inc. and HomeAdvisor Inc. insofar as it aims to make it easy to find and hire service professionals.
Thumbtack approaches the marketplace a little differently, however, by using many of its 600 or so employees to vet the professionals by checking licenses and curating them for quality. Thumbtack users describe what they need, and then professionals that fit the criterion pay Thumbtack between $3 and $25 to be introduced to each potential customer.
The startup says it is helping more than three million jobs get completed each year, with the average job running around $600.
Mr. Zappacosta, who told VentureWire in May that the company still had $12.5 million in the bank, said he wasn't actively looking for capital. He said after raising the $30 million round from Tiger Global and Sequoia that month, he was bombarded with inbound requests from investors. After giving it some thought he decided there was only one group who could add the expertise he wanted.
So, he contacted Google Capital. He approached Partner David Lawee with a problem Thumbtack was having.
"We had a statistical modeling question and we didn't know how to answer it or who to hire to solve it," Mr. Zappacosta said. "David connected us to a head a statistician [at Google] who reviewed it and helped us model a forecast. Then he gave us a profile for the type of person we should hire."
That interaction convinced Mr. Zappacosta of the value that would come from having Google Capital as an investor, and it led to investment discussions.
Mr. Zappacosta said there was nothing "magical" about the $100 million sum, but said it would be enough to get the company to "the finish line."
"An IPO is a milestone along the way us and the type of company we want to build," he said, adding he doesn't have a date in mind.
Mr. Zappacosta declined to say how much, if any, of the recent round would be used to provide liquidity to early shareholders and team members.
The financing increases total outside funding to $150 million. Funds will be used to launch nationwide marketing campaigns, scale the engineering team and continue expanding. The company now operates in more than 700 categories and all 50 U.S. states.
Google Capital didn't immediately respond to a request for comment.

Rhetoric is the art of persuasion. According to Aristotle, it's finding the best available means of persuasion for any given case. According to Chaim Perelman, the "aim of argumentation is not to deduce consequences from given premises; it is rather to elicit or increase the adherence of the members of an audience to theses that are presented for their consent" (The Realm of Rhetoric, 9). I note this so everyone knows that when I discuss rhetoric, I don't mean it in the sloppy popular sense of "empty verbiage."
Librarians have much to learn from the art of rhetoric. Essentially, rhetoric is about communication, and with any communication there are at least three elements: the speaker, the message, and the audience. Most people, including librarians, are aware of themselves as speakers and often aware of their message, but too many times do not consider the audience, and the effect on the audience is crucially important. From a rhetorical point of view, for example, it doesn't matter how right or logical you are, if you alienate your audience and fail to persuade them of your points, then you have a failed argument. Fret and bemoan your fate all you like, but the problem is you.
Today I want to consider three rhetorical situations many librarians often find themselves in and show the importance of audience: staff meetings, presentations, and library instruction.
If you are in a staff meeting discussing some controversial topic and want to persuade your opponents, the last thing you want to do is alienate them. Unfortunately, that's easy to do. You can call their ideas stupid, or better yet say something like, "only an idiot would believe that." You can aggressively state your views as if they were the only ones that mattered. You can interrupt your opponents with frequent hostile criticism. You can state from the beginning that you have no intention of changing your mind. All these behaviors alienate others. Some, like aggression and interruption, alienate because they threaten. Others, such as saying there's no way you'll change your mind, inform your listeners that this is not in fact a discussion or debate, because where there is no willingness to consider the opponent's point of view, there is no dialog, and thus no point of continuing a discussion. By acting like this, you've notified them that you don't give a damn about them or their ideas. Don't act surprised when they reciprocate.
Try to remember presentations you have seen, either at conferences, on campus, in your library, wherever. Were the speakers aware of their audience and their fellow speakers? Was it an hour long talk that took an hour and a half? Did the speaker seem aware of appropriate time limits or the effect on the audience? Remembering a few simple rules can make your own presentations better, but the most basic rule of all is, think about other people. Do as you would be done by. If you're on a panel and someone else hogs all the speaking time leaving you with five minutes to get in fifteen minutes' worth of information and thus forcing you to cut and adapt extemporaneously, how would you feel? I can tell you, you'd most likely be angry, and understandably so.
When you perform library instruction (and I use the word perform deliberately, for it is a performance), do you stand like a lump in front of the class for an hour or more monotonously giving special attention to every nuance of your OPAC or selected database but no attention to your audience? Do you even care if the students are listening to you? If students are checking their email or Facebook or are nodding off, do you blame these kids today and their short attention spans, or yourself for being so boring? You should blame yourself. You're boring. It doesn't matter if every single bit of information you convey could potentially be useful to your students. If you don't communicate with the audience, then the message fails, and the problem is most likely you.
I could offer some practical tips. Listen to your colleagues and acknowledge that you understand their points, even if you don't agree with them. Don't alienate people with your arrogance. Pay attention to time limits. Don't read from your PowerPoint slides with your back to the audience. Don't speak monotonously or too quickly. During library instruction, consider having a student run that presentation computer while you walk around engaging students and speaking. (They'll be less like to tune you out or Facebook that way.)
Practical tips are easy to find online, though, and there are plenty of them. However, the primary rule is always to consider your audience. Pay attention to what they're doing. When you speak, do your colleagues roll their eyes or purse their lips while glaring at you? Then maybe you should tone down your aggression and be more sensitive to their views. During a presentation, do audience members check their watches frequently? Think about time, and how bored you'd be if someone prattled on too long. Do you notice jerky heads as people nod off to sleep but pop back awake as their chins hit their chest? Then speed it up, change the tone of your voice, change topic, do something to engage them. Do students come out of your instruction sessions thinking librarians are bores who want to teach everyone to be librarians? Can they still not research very well because they tuned you out as soon as it was obvious you had no intention of engaging them? Then change your approach, engage students more, don't try to teach them everything.
Teaching and speaking are performances, and performances are designed for audiences. The best performances should teach and delight. This certainly doesn't mean we all have to act like clowns or stand-up comics, though I'm never afraid to say something silly or make a joke if I think it will keep the audience paying attention. A bit of wit can carry an audience through a lot of dull business. But we have to keep in mind that public speaking is a performance, and the person up their speaking isn't us. It's a persona called Librarian, and part of that persona is an awareness of others.
Considering other people is always difficult. Having an awareness of how our speaking affects those around us, the audience at a big talk or the students at a small BI session, takes practice. Moreover, it takes deliberate consciousness of what we are saying and how we say it, which a lot of people can't seem to master. Some people are nervous enough just standing up in front of audiences and speaking. I know how it can be. I've been teaching and speaking to groups for 15 years, and I'm pretty good at both, but every time I feel sick in the minutes before beginning. Some people mistakenly believe that it's what they say that's important, not how the audience hears what they say. Those people don't usually feel the same way when they're part of an audience, though.
The most important thing is to communicate our point, to persuade our colleagues, to win the adherence of the audience to our ideas, to get our students to understand a bit about library research and about what librarians can do for them. By alienating or boring your audience, your message is lost, and you have only yourself to blame.

Microsoft Authentication Library B2C Sample for Apple iOS in Swift
|Getting Started
The MSAL preview library for iOS and macOS gives your app the ability to begin using the Microsoft Cloud by supporting Azure B2C using industry standard OAuth2 and OpenID Connect. This sample demonstrates all the normal lifecycles your application should experience, including:
- How to get a token
- How to refresh a token
- How to call your backend REST API service
- How to clear your user from your application

You will need to have a B2C client application registered with Microsoft. Follow the instructions here. Make sure you make note of your
client ID, and the name of the policies you create. Once done, you will need add the redirect URI of
We use Carthage for package management during the preview period of MSAL. This package manager integrates very nicely with XCode while maintaining our ability to make changes to the library. The sample is set up to use Carthage.
If you're building for iOS, tvOS, or watchOS
- Install Carthage on your Mac using a download from their website or if using Homebrew
brew install carthage.
- We have already created a
Cartfilethat lists the MSAL library for this project on Github. We use the
- Run
carthage bootstrap. This will fetch dependencies into a
Carthage/Checkoutsfolder, then build the MSAL library.
- On your application targets' "General" settings tab, in the "Linked Frameworks and Libraries" section, drag and drop the
MSAL.frameworkfrom the
Carthage/Buildfolder on disk.
- On your application targets' "Build Phases" settings tab, click the "+" icon and choose "New Run Script Phase". Create a Run Script in which you specify your shell (ex:
/bin/sh), add the following contents to the script area below the shell:
/usr/local/bin/carthage copy-frameworks
and add the paths to the frameworks you want to use under "Input Files", e.g.:
This script works around an App Store submission bug triggered by universal binaries and ensures that necessary bitcode-related files and dSYMs are copied when archiving.
With the debug information copied into the built products directory, Xcode will be able to symbolicate the stack trace whenever you stop at a breakpoint. This will also enable you to step through third-party code in the debugger.
When archiving your application for submission to the App Store or TestFlight, Xcode will also copy these files into the dSYMs subdirectory of your application's
.xcarchive bundle.
Configure your application
Add your application's redirect URI scheme to added in the portal to your
info.plistfile. It will be in the format of

Configure your application defaults
In the
ViewControler.swift file, update the variables at the top of this file with the information for your tenant.
let kTenantName = "<tenant>.onmicrosoft.com" // Your tenant name
let kClientID = "<your-client-id>" // Your client ID from the portal when you created your application
let kSignupOrSigninPolicy = "<your-signin-policy>" // Your signup and sign-in policy you created in the portal
let kEditProfilePolicy = "<your-edit-profile-policy>" // Your edit policy you created in the portal

THE leader of York Council is facing calls to resign after it was agreed almost 60,000 motorists fined for driving over Lendal Bridge can be refunded.
Controversial traffic restrictions were introduced on Lendal Bridge last August which saw some 56,000 drivers issued penalty notices amounting to £1.3 million. Additional costs for setting up the project were in the region of £500,000. A City of York spokeswoman has said they cannot yet anticipate the cost of repaying the fines.
The trial was abandoned in April after an independent review found the council may have acted unlawfully.
On Friday, City of York Council confirmed it was working on a process to allow motorists to claim back their fine. An application will have to be made for refunds to be given as "a statement of goodwill" and will not be volunteered as that would legally say the scheme was wrong.
Leader of the council, Cllr James Alexander said City of York Council had been contesting the traffic adjudicator's challenge to both the Lendal Bridge and Coppergate schemes but will will now only continue to contest the Coppergate order.
The Liberal Democrats have said the decision is reason for Cllr Alexander, of the Labour party, to resign.
Cllr Keith Aspden, leader of York's Liberal Democrats, said: "The closure of Lendal Bridge was botched from start to finish and has done deep reputational damage to York.
"As well as repaying the fines, Labour should apologise to the residents, visitors and businesses caught out by the unlawful closure. They need to explain how the repayment process will work and what effect this decision will have on council budgets. They also need to accept our calls for a full scrutiny review of the trial so that all lessons are learnt.
"What is clear though is that ultimate responsibility for the shambles sits with the Council Leader James Alexander and I, along with many taxpayers, will now expect him to recognise this and resign."
Meanwhile, Cllr Paul Doughty, a conservative councillor for Strensall ward, said: "Now finally, not before time, they are forced to repay the fines yet still manage to dig the knife in as the ultimate penalty is paid by the York taxpayer who has to pick up the bill. Not only for the hundreds of thousands to repay fines but also the massive cost it will take to administer, the affect on services this may have as well as the city's reputation which they leave in tatters.
"Cllr Alexander even has the gall to say, 'all parties told me they want to move on'. Indeed but he cannot be so naive to believe others will share his administrations blame. In any other industry, heads would roll."
He suggested senior figures at the council should resign.
Cllr Alexander declined to comment at the weekend, beyond saying: "When Liberal Democrats back the cause of Conservatives, that speaks volumes."
Conservative leader Cllr Chris Steward said "heads should roll" over the matter and said officers should be answerable. He said the matter was of great reputational and financial cost to York.
A Labour spokesman said Conservatives had previously called for a bridge closure and that it had also been in previous Liberal Democrat transport plans.
Yesterday, Frank Wood, chair of York Retail Forum, said about 80 per cent of people fined were visitors and unlikely to find out about the refund.
The other 20 per cent would be "left with a bad taste in their mouth" over the issue.
"The damage has been done to the city and I hope we can recover from that."
Nigel Rhodes, whose appeal against a fine for driving along Coppergate sparked the Traffic Penalty Tribunal finding, was disappointed the council was continuing with the Coppergate appeal, but added: "I'm glad people will get their money back for Lendal Bridge but... how will they find out they need to appeal? It's all wrong."
Councillor Alexander had said on Friday that the council decided to refund people who applied to the council "as a statement of goodwill" due to the level of public concern during the trial, adding: "We are drawing a line under the matter."
Councillor David Levene, Cabinet Member for Transport, stressed the Lendal trial aimed to tackle congestion, improve air quality and support improvements for bus users, cyclists and pedestrians. "The trial has provided us with vital data regarding these issues and we can now move forward."

Land Park Real Estate
Land Park is one of Sacramento's signature neighborhoods. It is one of the city's oldest and most historic areas to live in. Its main appeal stems from William Land Park, the heart of the area and the hub of community activity. Land Park's elegant homes are seemingly plucked from pages of a storybook which further enhances the neighborhood's charm.
William Land Park acts as a bridge to South Land Park, also an aesthetically enchanting neighborhood. Neighboring Curtis Park borders Land Park to the east. These areas are lush with towering trees and rich foliage, adorning the Mediterranean, Tudor, bungalows, and craftsman style homes. Most homes are nestled in perfectly placed cul-de-sacs, with main roads found around each corner.
Land Park reaches all the way to Broadway and is bordered by Interstate 5, Sutterville Road, and Freeport Boulevard. Quintessential Sacramento landmarks call Land Park home and have thrived for decades due to the strong sense of community that residents and area locals help to cultivate.
Everything in Land Park is simply more distinctive, from the homes to the park and local businesses. Land Park features many of Sacramento's main family-friendly attractions, as well as a golf course, unique gardens, running trails, lakes, and playgrounds.
