Airliner black-box 'real time data streaming' tech developed
A Canadian firm has announced imminent flight tests of aviation data-streaming technology which would transmit information normally recorded in an aircraft's "black box" accident recorders "in real time". In cases such as that of the recent disappearance of Air France flight 447 above the Atlantic, there would be no need to …
A few years behind?
I watched a documentary on Discovery about 8 years ago which was all about how in Europe we use this 'Real Time Transmission' kit, the same as the US Airforce use, but in the US they refuse to upgrade the commercial airlines due to cost. How come it's taken 8 years for somebody to see that black boxes are stupid??
Motorsport telemetry
Doesn't sound much different from motorsport telemetry with different radio gear attached. Innovative? Patentable? I'd imagine Marelli and McLaren Electronics would have something to say about prior art...
And so what's new?
ACARS already does this for the aircraft.
RollsRoyce engines transmit an awful lot more, especially those on lease deals.
Is this going to transmit all the cockpit voice? Are all the airlines going to renegotiate their pilot contracts to agree to everything they say in the cockpit being recorded by their managers and available to lawyers?
How is the flight data going to be secured? In the event of a crash by an AirCheapo flight which suggests dodgy maintenance - the only copy of the flight data is sitting on a server owned by AirCheapo! Or is all this data going to streamed to secured servers run by the accident investigation board in each country - how much is that going to cost?
Web servers
'the AFIRS 220 can already be set up to transmit regular "short burst" data updates to ground-based web servers'
Impressive. Does it pick a web server at random? I haven't noticed any airliner data on mine.
Too late for AF447
Quite why it's taken so long for this to come about is anyone's guess. I thought about it ages ago and I've never been mistaken as the sharpest tool in the box!
On-Star for planes!
Can they ask for directions if they get lost? Do they have to worry about running into deer at 10,000ft?
No way
As someone who is heavily involved with flight recorders in my job, there is no way that something with the potential to be unreliable such as this, would ever replace the flight recorder on the aircraft. Voice recordings will never be allowed to be transmitted due to the pilot unions who put up a stink about everything. Current voice recorders are only allowed because they have an erase button that can be used after a flight.
@Too late for AF447
It's not worth it because crashes are so very rare. There is about 1crash/decade for airlines you would fly with.
Most crashes are pilot error on take/off landing, accidents in the middle of nowhere that aren't bombs or over enthusiastic superpower air defence are very very rare.
The most useful data for an accident investigation is normally cockpit voice.
The reason the CVR only records the last 30mins is the same reason that pilots are supposed to be serious below 10,000 ft on take off/landing. It would make flying much more dangerous if the flight deck was continually recorded.
Imagine flying a plane for 8hours where the most important thing in your mind is that anything you say will be taken down and can be used against you by your bosses, your country's police, the HR department or the lawyers for a hostie wanting a $million sexual harassment suit payoff.
@Martin 6
Presumably you wouldn't fly Air France, then? (For the record, I'm perfectly happy to do so.)
AF4590 - SST - Paris - 25/07/2000
AF358 - 340 - Toronto - 02/08/2005
(plus a 74F in Madras in 1999).
and yet a cell phone call will crash the plane? hello!?! I think not
Emergency detection algorithm ?
I bet Airbus would love to get their hands on that algorithm, just stick it into the flight computer and implement an exception handler. Sweet !
Flight recorder - copious data collection for 30 minutes leading up to a crash. Difficult to recover, difficult to modify.
Real-time streaming - copious data collection (for every significant event when our algorithm says that we are up the creek, otherwise at least some of the usually important stuff). Easy to recover, easier to hack, easier to lose, easier to redact
The only thing that I have learned about finding causes of unexpected problems (we call it debugging round here) is that you must be able to trust that the data you are analysing is complete and comprehensive. If you have the slightest doubt about either you cannot honestly give a definitive answer.
Whilst the article says it is capable of carrying a voice channel, it does clearly say its data-streaming, as opposed to voice streaming (yes I know voice can be data). data as in flight data recorder.
I would imagine that the black boxes will continue to stay on board and this tech would be an add-on
@Chris Morley
Where did anyone say anything about patents ANYWHERE, much less patents on the idea of data streaming? The only thing that was quoted from the company was about proprietary data compression, not PATENTED data compression.
You might want to move your chair out from under your desk if your knee is jerking.
"Doesn't sound much different from motorsport telemetry with different radio gear attached."
Typically the Formula-One racetracks are less than a thousand miles from one end to the other, and do not include any traverses over oceans or trackless mountain ranges.
(Paris, because she's also less than a thousand miles from end to end.)
A cheaper approach?
Won't an airliner at cruising altitude almost always be line-of-(radio)-sight to some other aircraft?
If that's the case why not establish a much simpler pane-to-plane radio communications channel and take copies of each others' data until their flight-paths diverge, by which time some other plane will have taken over?
All automatic, no extra work, no-one ever looks at the other-plane data and it gets overwritten every month or so. If necessary for privacy or company confidentiality, it's encrypted with a source-airline key. If a plane goes down, the request goes out to all aircraft that were in the area at the time, to retrieve what may be the critical black box data backup.
Well, almost one per decade
The Toronto flight wasn't really a crash, just very bad parking.
(At least by Toronto standards, in Montreal it would be considered normal driving ) !
I thought they must already be doing this
When that flight went down between Brazil and France, the new reports said they had received some indications of unusual readings moments before the crash... I thought that meant they already had live streaming...
A streaming system like this at best gives a few clues as to what might have happened, and at worst tells you only that the radio failed.
The black boxes still have a purpose.... it would be foolish to assume that the live stream is complete up to the point of catastrophic failure. Problems with radio communications are not exactly without precedent, so the black boxes will still be the source of the most complete picture of what happened and will still need to be recovered and analyzed.
"Do they have to worry about running into deer at 10,000ft?"
Only on Christmas Eve...

The 2013 CrossFit Games saw the return of some of our beloved veterans athletes, along with some fresh blood. After taking 1st place in two events and 2nd place in one event at the 2013 NorthWest Regional, Ryan Swobody secured a 3rd place podium spot and his first trip to compete at the 2013 Games.
As a father, husband, gym owner, firefighter and competitor, Ryan wears many hats throughout the day, all while maintaining his passion to be the best person that he can be – both inside and outside of the gym. I caught up with Ryan this week to see how the offseason has been treating him after his first ever Games experience.
Jaimie – How would you describe your first CrossFit Games experience? Is it something you'll pursue again next season?
Ryan – My first Games experience was unforgettable. It was a lifetime goal of mine, and I'm still in disbelief that I made it there. I had a few setbacks the week of the Games that influenced my ability to perform. It was difficult for me to not be angry about what was happening. It has literally taken me this long to process all of the lessons learned from the experience. I believe that things happened for a reason and they helped me to grow into a better athlete and person in general.
I will be pursuing the Games again this year. However, not as an individual. We've got a stellar group of athletes at CrossFit Marysville and we believe that we can put together an Affiliate Team that will compete with the best!! I'm stoked to take on the challenges of team competition with a group of amazing athletes!
Jaimie – You said in a CrossFit Games article that last year was the first year you allowed yourself to believe that you can make it. How did the community at CF Marysville help you believe in yourself?
Ryan – The community at CF Marysville has always been incredibly supportive. I know how humbling this sport can be. Your weaknesses and shortcomings could be exposed at any minute. Which, is why having humility and staying humble is an attitude that I have kept from the beginning. With the encouragement of my wife and friends at CFM, I made the decision to believe that I could end up on the podium. For the first time in my CrossFit career I focused only on myself and what I needed to perform. I rested on my Faith and prayed for Strength and Courage often. I also tried very hard to remain Thankful for every opportunity that weekend. The support and encouragement from the CFM crowd was incredible! They literally kept me going during every event. I am overwhelmed by the amazing community we have here!
Jaimie – You also said that you credit your training partner (Noah Pester) for getting you to the next level; how does competing with and against Pester help you prepare for competition?
Ryan – Noah and I are best friends. But we are also fierce competitors. And we both understand that about each other. I have an enormous respect for Noah and the man that he is inside the gym and out. Noah has been in this game for a while now and is becoming one of the best coaches in the sport. Having him as a friend and coach has been invaluable and he will always be credited with any success that I gain. Noah, D.J. Neyens and myself are great friends, which will make this team even stronger!
Jaimie – Your life inside and outside of the gym is pretty high-pressured; in addition to being a Games athlete, you are also a firefighter. How do you deal with the pressures of both jobs?
Ryan – Tough question…. and one I typically try to avoid! Haha. I simply take every moment for what it is. Whether it's training, competing, working a fire or playing with my daughter. If I think too much about what's next, or setting goals, I begin to realize how many obstacles there are in front of me. This may be contrary to what the "experts" tell you to do, but I feel like I'm in a bit of a different situation. I never really think about Regionals, The Games, the next fire, etc. I really enjoy the ride. I enjoy training and 'Competing Every Day'. If I can go all out and give everything that I have in every situation possible, there should be nothing to worry about on the other side. God has Blessed me with an ability to remain calm and perform in the moment. I don't get too worked up or stressed out while engaged in any activity. It's the anticipation and over planning that will get me worked up and distracted.
Jaimie – What fuels your desire to compete?
Ryan – CrossFit has changed my life; it has improved my life in nearly every way imaginable. I go into the gym every day to improve and to help others improve. My desire to compete is simply to do what I enjoy doing every day of my life. I enter competitions because it's fun. Once I hear 3…2…1… GO!, I have absolutely no idea what it is that drives me. I wish I could answer this question…. But I can't. It's natural, it's instinctive, it's unconscious. Thank goodness my wife understands this. If she didn't, it would be much more difficult to continue doing it. God has blessed me with the ability and opportunity to compete. I compete to Glorify His name.

Some of you liked it when I shared my playlist of rebel music, so I thought, in honor of Women's History Month, I would share some goodies on my iPod performed by female artists.
Bridget Gray is a kick-ass spoken word artist, check out her two albums on CD Baby. Her phenomenal poem "I Am a Woman" kicks off my World Weary Woman iPod playlist. Here is a partial performance of that poem:
Sharon Jones was singing with The Dap Kings before anyone ever knew Amy Winehouse's name. Unfortunately, the music industry prefers the thinner, younger, more English version of classic soul. Nevertheless, Sharon knows how to rock the house. Song number two on my playlist is the awesome "How Long Do I Have to Wait for You?"
Here are Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings with "100 Days, 100 Nights." By the way, don't be fooled by the black-and-white photography and old-school funk, the group was formed in 2000.
Amy, you know I still love you. Maybe I prefer "the thinner, younger, more English version of classic soul" too, because Amy Winehouse has more songs on my most-played list than Sharon Jones. Both Frank and Back to Black are great albums with too many favorites on them to call out just one. But "Love is a Losing Game" is just quintessential Amy: soulful, smoky, passionate and a little f-ed up.
I loves me some country, folk-y, roots-y rock. I also like to hear female singers and musicians who aren't taking the typical Beyonce/Britney, package it, sex it up, drop it like it's hot and make it look like everyone else's thing. I discovered Brandi Carlisle and The Be Good Tanyas while messing about in iTunes. Damn you iTunes! Because of you, I've blown more money on new music by people I've never heard of than I care to admit.
"Closer to You" is the song that made me a Brandi Carlisle fan:
For The Be Good Tanyas, it was "Scattered Leaves." I love Franzey Ford's voice; it reminds me of Karen Carpenter's voice in its distinctness. When you hear that soulful warble, you know you are listening to Franzey.
In the early days of this blog, I wrote a post about Nina Simone and how I was lucky to see her perform on her last tour of the United States. Nina EMBODIED Bridget Gray's "I Am a Woman" poem. Political activism…affairs with foreign dignitaries…a life as an expat aboard…and immense talent—Aw, yeah, Nina was a woman alright, some woman indeed.
I'll let Nina close part one of this post with her version of "Here Comes the Sun." Even The Beatles' version pales in comparison.

What we know for sure is that Anderson Silva will next defend his UFC middleweight title against Chael Sonnen at UFC 147.
What we don't know right now, however, is where and when that fight will actually take place.
The news broke during the UFC on Fuel TV 2 post fight press conference that a recently scheduled conference of the United Nations set to land in Brazil from June 20 -22 could force the MMA promotion out of their scheduled June 23 date in Rio de Janeiro.
"We're working on it, it's still a work in progress. The problem down in Rio right now is they're having a big United Nations convention down there, so there's some stuff going on. We're working through it trying to figure this whole thing out," UFC president Dana White said about the mega event currently slated for Brazil.
The United Nations conference was officially announced in early April, scheduled to focus on sustainable development, and it's expected to draw more than 135 vice presidents and prime ministers. In addition, more than 50,000 people are expected to attend and participate in the conference during the three-day event.
Titled the Rio +20, the conference will run for three days in late June which coincides perfectly for the dates the UFC would also be landing in Rio for UFC 147.
More MMA
Beyond the logistical nightmare that city officials would have to deal with to accommodate both events taking place the same week, White points out that hotels could end up being one of the biggest problems they could have to overcome.
"Don't know, we're waiting to hear back. We're trying to figure this whole thing out. The problem is that first of all they don't like the idea of us coming at the same time as this United Nations convention is going on. The other problem is hotel rooms. Most of the hotel rooms are being taken up," said White.
"We don't think, we know, that the Chael Sonnen/Anderson Silva fight it's one of the biggest sporting events this year in the world, so we need to make sure (there's room) especially when you're doing an 80,000-seat soccer stadium. There better be some hotel rooms."
The hope for the UFC was to have this situation already handled prior to Saturday's event in Sweden, but as of now there is still no plan in place and nothing set in stone.
"I expected to have it already," White said about a resolution for the placement of UFC 147. "Hopefully, we'll get this thing done within the next few days, one way or the other."
The next major UFC event takes place in just a week's time at UFC 145 in Atlanta, and White may be able to make an announcement at that time if final plans have been made.

Oh well….. Silva will destroy the make hormone challenged Sonnen anyway.
Should just go ahead with the fight. Then after Chael takes the belt he can march over to the UN conference, hold court and straighten those clowns out as well.
"UN convention", just a fancy way of saying, politician hooker trip. I say move the fight to Dallas Cowboy Stadium. It is bigger and can hold alot more people. UFC stands to make alot more money at the gate, plus there are hotels near the stadium. And, the security nightmare in Brazil won't be an issue. Namely for Sonnen.
Lmfao after sonnen takes the belt haha wata joke if it hapns in brzl there will b so many people there that will wanna kill sonnen for,all the crap hes been talkn ..poor him if it dos ., anderson will destory sonnen and remain champ same old story..
You seem upset.

Dynamic device management in Udev
After three years of hanging around on the sidelines, Udev has finally ousted the legacy Dev-FS system. We take a look under the hood at the Udev device management system inside your Linux system.
Linux inherited the classic Unix adage "Everything is a file." This abstraction has allowed programs to use device nodes (device files) to access computer hardware as if they were accessing an ordinary file. These special device files, which are opened, read, written to, or closed using the same system calls as text files, are distinguished by their names, types (block or character device), major numbers, and minor numbers. PreviouslyToo Static Device files are created by the mknod command during the installation phase, assuming legacy management. This approach creates a permanent entry in /dev for each device the admin might connect to the system at any time in the future, and this can easily mean thousands of entries.

The Messology of Bishop Eddie Long
An Executive Order Would Repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"
Irene Monroe: The volleying back and forth on DADT can come to an end simply by Obama using his presidential pen and single-handedly signing an executive order. That is, of course, if he really wants to.
Will Tea Party Climate Repeal "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"?
Irene Monroe: With the momentum of Tea Party candidates, who are anti-Obama, anti-abortion, and anti-gay civil rights, unseating long-term Republican incumbents in this recent primary aggressively trying to retake Congress and with midterm elections now just weeks away the chances of repealing DADT is looking slimmer.
Why Johnny Can't Think Critically
Rev. Irene Monroe: A mind is a terribly thing to waste. But for conservatives and Tea Party activists who want to indoctrinate our kids rather than to educate them, a mind is a terrible thing to have. Now with far-right activists like Glen Beck pushing for more Jesus and less Darwin — working to reshape the academic landscape in schools, colleges and universities across the country — we will soon know without having to wonder "Why Johnny Can't Think Critically."

Ex-Gay Minister Drives Gays From Boston's Gospelfest
Rev. Irene Monroe: With Pastor Donnie McClurkin, the poster boy for African American ex-gay ministries, who spews anti-gay religion-based vitriol, billed as the main event, many in the African American lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) communities will not be in attendance at this year's event. And neither will the mayor.
Did You Barbecue Pig or Pug This Fourth?
Are We Not Patriots, Too?
Rev. Irene Monroe: As LGBTQ Americans, our patriotism is not recognized. But one of our community's greatest moments of patriotism was the Stonewall Riots of June 27–29, 1969, in New York City's Greenwich Village. We celebrate their heroism every day as out-of-the-closet people who are intentionally visible in various facets of American life.
A Pride Event Not to Be Proud of
Rev. Irene Monroe: Because of the bleaching of the Stonewall Riots, the beginnings of LGBTQ movement post-Stonewall is an appropriation of a black, brown, trans, and queer liberation narrative. And it is the deliberate visible absence of these black, brown, and yellow LGBTQ people that makes it harder, if not nearly impossible, for LGBTQ communities to build trusted coalitions with white LGBTQ communities.
Is Obama Avoiding Responsibly for "Don't Ask, Don't Tell"?
Rev. Irene Monroe: The posturing last week from Congress was great theater. All the thespians performed their parts well, especially Obama. Why? If DADT is not repealed it gives the President an easy out. It allows the President to distance himself politically by shifting the responsibility and blame for DADT's outcome from himself to some one else.
Theory of Blacks' Intellectual Inferiority Rears Ugly Head at Harvard
We all know affirmative action is a hot-button issue. At a basic level, it's an attempt to take race, gender, and ethnicity (to name a few factors) into consideration to promote a level playing field for all. But the sub-text in all affirmative action debates is the fallacious belief that blacks selected to benefit from it are hopelessly and helplessly genetically inferior — that their DNA is chromosomally deficient, if not defective.
Cheating Harvard
Rev. Irene Monroe: We live in a society that is hypercritical of failure and super exuberant about success. As a culture, we have developed a false and damaging dichotomy about the relationship between failure and success that success has become a public affair of celebration and failure a private funeral of condemnation.

While it is true that K.D. Lang was an out lesbian in Country Music, she eventually moved out of the genre into Pop, leaving many to speculate she did so because of her sexual orientation.
ROTC Marching Back onto Harvard's Campus
Rev. Irene Monroe: In February, when the nation's top two Defense officials — Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Admiral Mike Mullen, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff — advocated for a repeal of the 1993 "Don't Ask, Don't Tell (DADT)" policy, universities like Brown, Columbia, and Harvard, to name a few, allowed ROTC to march its way back on campus.
Gay Community Loses Black Civil Rights Ally Dorothy Height
Rev. Irene Monroe: As president for forty years (1957- 1997) of the National Council of Negro Women (NCNW), an organization with the objective of advancing opportunities and the quality of life for African American women, their families, and communities with programs on issues like voting rights, poverty and, in later years, AIDS, Height understood that black families and communities could neither be whole nor healthy without championing gay civil rights for its LGBTQ community.

Irene Monroe: When you have a pope more invested in doctrinal debates than personal suffering, and more invested in exerting his ecclesiastical power in defrocking dissident theologians than his priestly flock of sex predators, then it's easy to comprehend why the decades-long pleas and petitions from Catholic parishioners – worldwide – to Pope Benedict XVI to do something never made anything happen.
ObamaCare Passed Passing Up Reproductive Justice
Jamaica's Gay Underground Christians
Rev. Irene Monroe: Sometime in the late hours of Saturday night the call will come in. Philbert (not his real name) — like many of his Christian LGBTQ buddies — waits anxiously for the call to tell him the time and place of the van pickup, and where it'll drop he and his friends off to a safe and secluded place for Sunday worship.
Black Motherhood Lost at the Oscars
Rev. Irene Monroe: The historical legacy of the devaluation and demonization of black motherhood was both applauded and rewarded at this year's Oscars. And the point was clearly illustrated with Mo'Nique, capturing the gold statue for best supporting actress in the movie "Precious," based on the novel Push by Sapphire, as a ghetto welfare mom who demeans and demoralizes her child every chance she can.
Black Community's Division on Abortion Ad Campaign
Rev. Irene Monroe: While many black pro-lifers believe that the way to maintain the institution of the black family and to overcome white supremacy is by denying women their right to choose, these same anti-abortionists ironically are also anti-gay, anti-birth control, and anti-condoms, ignoring that homophobic vitriol, STDs and HIV/AIDS will kill the black family sooner than white supremacists anti-black conspiracy theories.
Black and Queer in Nazi Germany
Rev. Irene Monroe: While in pre-Hitler Germany all-female orchestras were de rigeur in many avant-garde entertainment clubs, these homosocial all-women's bands created tremendous outrage during Hitler's regime. Snow was sent to a concentration camp not only because she was black and in the wrong place at the wrong time, but also because of her "friendships" with German women musicians, implying lesbianism.
Honoring Notorious Gladys Bentley
Rev. Irene Monroe: A talented pianist and blues singer, and one of the most notorious and successful entertainers during the Harlem Renaissance, Bentley cultivated a large LGBTQ following up until the 1950s. As an African-American woman whose success derived from her raunchy and salacious lyrics to popular tunes, Bentley not only openly sang about sex, but she also openly lived and celebrated her sexual orientation as an out lesbian.
Do We Still Need to Celebrate Black History Month?
Rev. Irene Monroe: Within the African- American LGBTQ community, Black History Month has always come under criticism. And rightly so! The absence of LGBTQ people of African descent in the month-long celebration is evidence of how race, gender and sexual politics of the dominant culture are reinscribed in black culture as well.

Charlotte Golar Richie
Golar Richie adviser defends campaign's third place finish
Oct. 2, 2013
A top adviser to former state Rep. Charlotte Golar Richie's mayoral campaign rejected criticism of her candidate and said there had been "quite a bit of unfairness" directed toward her. Read more
Polls open as candidates make last-minute bids for votes
Sep. 24, 2013
Dorchester state Rep. Marty Walsh planned to greet voters outside McKenna's Café, down the street from his Tuttle Street home in Savin Hill, as polls opened at 7 a.m. across the city. About 7 miles away, District 5 Councillor Rob Consalvo was scheduled to cast his vote at the Blake Estates on Hyde Park Ave. And three miles away from there, City Councillor At-Large John Connolly was set to greet voters at about 7:30 a.m. at St. George Orthodox Church in West Roxbury.
Nine other candidates have similar schedules. For the first time in 30 years, the municipal ballot will not include the name Thomas Menino. Twelve names will be there instead, along with dozens of candidates looking to snag a City Council at-large slot or a district seat. Today's preliminary will whittle the field of mayoral candidates to two, and the number of at-large candidates to eight.
Polls in the last week have shown what appears to be the solidification of a top tier, as many political observers had predicted months ago: Connolly and Walsh, two candidates who have been running for mayor longer than the other major contenders in the field; Suffolk District Attorney Dan Conley, who started with a significant cash advantage; and former Dorchester state Rep. Charlotte Golar Richie, the lone woman in the race and a former aide to Menino and Gov. Deval Patrick.
But the campaigns of the other contenders will argue they have a fair shot at the final, too, because of the high number of undecided voters that could break their way, the polls undercounting their supporters, or their below-the-radar ground game. The rest of the field includes Consalvo, former School Committee member John Barros, District 5 Councillor Michael Ross, City Councillor At-Large Felix Arroyo, and Savin Hill activist Bill Walczak. District 4 Councillor Charles Yancey is running for mayor and his council seat. TOUCH 106.1 FM's Charles Clemons and Roxbury Republican David James Wyatt are also on the ballot.
Secretary Bill Galvin, who oversees the state's elections department, predicted that turnout will be higher than in the 2009 preliminary, when Menino faced off against two city councillors at-large and a South End activist. That year, 82,000 voters showed up at the polls. Galvin said turnout could be around 100,000 this year, and possibly as high as 125,000, depending on the intensity of interest in the race.
The intensity of candidates' campaigns is another matter: Galvin expressed concern that voters will have to run a "gauntlet" of campaign supporters attempting to influence voters on their way into their polling place. Galvin said the law forbidding campaigning within 150 feet of a polling location will be enforced. The race for mayor has been largely congenial, Galvin said. "I want to make sure it has a congenial ending."
In the South End on Sunday, City Councillor At-Large Felix G. Arroyo canvassed with state Rep. Byron Rushing, running into a corner store and a hair salon and chatting up voters inside. They came upon one home with one bumper sticker after the other pasted onto her door, from Jesse Jackson's run for president, Mel King's run for Congress, to Rushing's campaigns for state representative. "Let me tell you, I'm an old lady. I've been voting since I've been allowed to," said the bumper stickers' owner, Beverly Adams, as Arroyo placed a sticker with his name on the door.
Seeing Arroyo with Rushing helped win her over, she said. "I remember when his dad first ran," she said, referring to Felix D. Arroyo, who also served on the City Council. "He's charming. He's personable. And I think he means what he says." Read more
(UPDATED) #BosMayor Round-Up: Sept. 24, 2013 - Prelim Election Day
Today is Election Day. The 12-person field will be winnowed to two finalists who will face off on Nov. 5. The polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Candidates' schedules, and a flashback to what newspapers were saying the morning of a preliminary 20 years ago, are available below. Read more
Chang-Diaz and Holmes back Golar Richie in mayor's race
In a bid to swing undecided voters to her side, former state Rep. Charlotte Golar Richie rolled out the endorsement of state Sen. Sonia Chang-Diaz, a Jamaica Plain Democrat, and Rep. Russell Holmes, a Mattapan Democrat. "I would be swayed if I knew that a Representative Holmes had made a decision, Senator Sonia Chang-Diaz had decided to support Charlotte," Golar Richie said at a press conference outside the State House.

A dozen mayoral candidates seek to rise above the fray in debate
Sep. 10, 2013
In a 90-minute fast-paced 12-way exchange that at times resembled a raucous dinner-table argument, Boston's would-be mayors jostled for voters' attention with just under two weeks until the Sept. 24 preliminary that will cull the candidates to two finalists.
"My name is Charles Yancey, and I'm running for mayor of the city of Boston," the three-decade city councilor, who is also a candidate for re-election to the City Council, said during a rare lull in the Monday night debate. Read more

Eyesore remains a hold-out on Dudley Street
There are many high-profile eyesores and abandoned lots across Boston that merit the attention, imagination and hustle of the next mayor. But few loom as large as the Leon Electric building in Uphams Corner.
The hulking warehouse complex sits right next to the MBTA commuter rail station at the corner of Dudley and Humphreys streets. The empty, fenced-off, weather-worn behemoth rises up seven stories and casts a foreboding shadow over the neighborhood business district below. Read more

Phillies release Gaudin
Clearwater, FL (SportsNetwork.com) - The Philadelphia Phillies announced on Thursday that the club has released right-handed pitcher Chad Gaudin after he failed his physical.
Gaudin signed a minor league deal with the Phillies in January and could have filled roles as a long man out of the bullpen or a spot starter when called upon.
The 30-year-old Gaudin was 5-2 with a 3.06 earned run average in 30 games (12 starts) for the San Francisco Giants last year. He was placed on the disabled list in mid-August with carpal tunnel syndrome, ending his season.
The right-hander has compiled a 45-44 record with a 4.44 ERA in 344 games, including 87 starts, for Tampa Bay, Toronto, Oakland, the Chicago Cubs, San Diego, the New York Yankees, Washington, Miami and San Francisco.

Chilean semester officially over and done with. Now about to go on a journey through Argentina. Destinations are Bariloche, Salta Region, and eventually to Iguazu Falls. This means that there are going to be very long bus rides, though timely enough I just discovered The KLF (Justified Agents of Mu Mu) to accompany me and la Kelsey. Ya pues, vamos.
This whole track must be listened to in its entirety, and more appropriately played in a serene setting, or else you won't fall into the world that is "Chill Out".
Haven't heard from James Holden since my brother gave me the 10101 and Lump tracks a few years ago, ones that have been the definitive go-tos as they are pretty much fascinating dance music I had ever listened to. Well the man is back, shortening his moniker to Holden now, with a new album The Inheritors that is incredibly unique to this time in electronic music. Holden holds true to his style of precise builds, but opposed to 10101 and Lump he is sampling/looping a diverse selection of instrumentals in a mix of other indistinguishable WTF sounds. The album also finds its own identity from the typical trip-hop / two-step type beats that are hard to walk to because they're poly-rythmic . Instead, this will trip you up in your own by the mere conglomerate of intriguing sounds. It will make you feel as if you are in a different realm, and that's saying a lot when everyone's going for the trippiest sound around in electronic music.
I haven't listened to anything from Ghostly since my Freshman year in Vermont in smoky dorm rooms. This definitely carries the same vibe but with more of an acoustic sound, more upbeat. Shigeto, is a Japanese word that means "to grow bigger", which is appropriate for this artist since he was born smaller than a pound. He grew up in Michigan and studied jazz drumset at the New School in Manhattan, which makes sense after hearing how deep these rhythms are. Check out the album this track is off of, called "Lineage". Heavy stuff.
Wooooo! This is a slick Thad Jones tune the Village Vanguard Jazz Orchestra played when I saw them on Monday. In addition to a really hip set, the band made sure to let us know who wrote and arranged the tune and some history to it. When I heard about this album I wanted to check it out immediately. I had been listening to a lot of Donald Byrd and Pepper Adams (who co-led the album), and it's always a huge treat to hear musicians like Mel Lewis, Thad Jones, Duke Ellington or Johnny Hodges in a small group recording (like Ellington's Money Jungle or Hodges' Blues-a-Plenty). The band is: Thad, trumpet; Pepper, Bari; Duke Pearson, piano; Ron Carter, bass; Mel Lewis, Drums. Go check out the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra in the village on Mondays for a taste of Thad Jones' big band arranging and composing.
Via @skreamizm: "Here's a new disco mix I did before I left for Asia….It's a WeTransfer link because I havent had time to upload…Share,Upload do what ya want with it.."
So… this is a disco mix by Skream. Wait, what? And it's actually amazing. Like really, really good. Nothing like Midnight Request Line, this mix is beautifully produced with some classic samples and a great flow. Just in time for summer bangers and drivin up to Vermont.

Cloud, a member of Adam & Naive, is a solo artist and blogs quite a bit (here at http://formyfriendss.blogspot.com/). He's released one album and is working on another out in LA. This is a sneak peak / remix of the upcoming work. He's got great taste, great talent, and an open mind. Follow him!

Reg readers ponder LOHAN's substantial globes
Our Low Orbit Helium Assisted Navigator (LOHAN) project is beginning to work up a good head of steam, as we begin to consider the practicalities of launching a rocket-powered spaceplane from under a whopping helium balloon at a not inconsiderable altitude. Click here for a bigger version of the LOHAN graphic Thanks to all of …
Agreed. Rail guide as A frame launch above.
It was mentioned earlier, but I don't know if the rockets available can accelerate the craft quickly enough in the length of rail available. If it can - it looks like the easiest solution, as long as the rail is stable.
iphone launched into space
I've just re-viewed the youtube video of the guys who launched their iPhone up to 30km. I've also just watched the video of the guy who jumped from a balloon at the same height back in 1960. From the two videos I can say that the ascent through the thermal differential layers of the atmosphere is going to require a lot of serious hardening of any designs for this balloonery. If not taken into consideration, in all likelihood, any loose cables will become seriously tangled.
The other thing you get is that there is NO SIGNIFICANT ATMOSPHERE in which control surfaces could possibly work. The guy who jumped out of the balloon was falling at 1,000 m/s and the air wasn't even ruffling his hair.
It's probably a good idea to use a larger balloon and to leave it slack at the surface on launch. We learn from scuba diving that as a buoyant device ascends, it also expands and/or experiences increasing internal pressure and we don't want our balloon to explode before topping out. Also, some sort of heating device inside the balloon would provide some extra lift if held until the last.

SuperginraiX is the biggest sap on The Outhousers' payroll (wait, we get paid?). He reads every issue of every crappy Marvel crossover so you don't have to. Whats worse is that he pays for his books, thus condoning Marvel's behavior. If The Outhouse cared for his well being at all, they'd try and get him into some sort of rehab center. But, alas, none of us even know how to say his name. For a good time, ask Super why Captian America jumped off the Helicarrier in Fear Itself. Super lives in the frozen wastland that is Minnesota with 15% of the state's population living under his roof: a wife he makes wear an Optimus Prime mask, two gremlins, and his mother-in-law.

[ssLauncher-Tip] Setting Gestures
SsLauncher has two kind of gestures: 'global gesture' and 'shortcut gesture'.
The 'global gesture' can be invoked on any area of the screen.
This consists of the following gestures.
- Swipe down (can be set in preferences) : 'open status bar' in default.
- Double tap (can be set in preferences) : 'nothing' in default.
- Triple tap (can be set in preferences) : 'nothing' in default.
- Pinch in (cannot be set) : open the menu screen
- Swipe up the second touch while holding the first touch on screen (cannot be set) : show up the 'dock menu bar' when it is hidden by checking 'hide dock bar' in preferences.
Hmmm... Too few gestures comparing the other launchers? haha...
Let's start to review the 'shortcut gesture' from now.
First, make a shortcut to 'music' and edit it.
You can set 4 activities for the 4 direction gestures in the 'Gestures'.
For example, we will set an equalizer app for the 'up' direction.
1. Check on 'enabled' for 'Gesture: up'.
2. Select your equalizer app for 'target'.
After applying the changes, you can run the music application by tapping the shortcut and also the equalizer app by swiping up the shortcut. So you can set totally 5 activities for one shortcut in this manner: 'tap' and 4 direction gestures. This is very simple example to use 'shortcut gesture'.
Let's learn more complicated way to use 'shortcut gesture' with the 'pin' feature from now.
1. Create a empty shortcut and 'pin' it.
2. Move and resize the pinned shortcut on the right edge of the screen as the screenshot.
Uncheck 'Clickable' and check 'Invisible when locked' in the configuration screen of the shortcut.
Now assign a web browser for the 'left' direction gesture and apply the changes.
Then, open the menu screen and lock the layout by toggling the 'locker' icon on the left-bottom screen.
The shortcut will be invisible like the screenshot.
Try to swipe left the right edge of the screen. The web browser will run.
This gesture can be invoked on any pages because the shortcut was pinned.
You can define many gestures for any part of screen in this manner. I think this is very strong feature than the other launchers.
How do you think? =)

Very very strong... With dynamic icons and dynamic backgrounds, SSlauncher The Original is unbeatable now!ReplyDelete
I'll will post you my latest and greatest theme asap. Hope you like it ;)Replies
Thanks. =)Delete
Your app was and is the strongest at the market. But it need time and some know how to use it perfectly. that is the reason why your app is not number one at store. becouse there are so many dumb people they never could do their own user interface with your launchre :( thats sad.Delete
Isabella, this app is for people like you. Don't be sad. =)Delete
very very gooood launcher .if this launcher will have key action , swipe action like ecohome launcher than it Will fuck the rest of the launcherReplyDeleteReplies
Vety awesome. I had no idea this was an option. Im revamping my layout again. I am definitely sharing this information.ReplyDelete
For some reason I don't have the Triple Tap option under preferences. Was this removed or the option relocated?ReplyDeleteReplies
The option will be added in the next update.Delete
It's my favorite launcher is Hard to understand the first time but later is greatReplyDelete
Thanks. =)Delete
I'm now preparing the new generation of ssLauncher.
Can't wait! Thanks for everything.ReplyDelete
Possible to make a gesture could open "Status bar"ReplyDeleteReplies
Like immersive mode?Delete
swipe down to open the status bar in the "full screen", as in "Themer" or "Nova launcher".ReplyDeleteReplies
Not expanding it, right?Delete
is it possible?ReplyDeleteReplies
Currently, it's not possible. But I will consider it in the next ssLauncher.Delete
I'll wait impatiently. Thank you very much. ssLuncher best.ReplyDelete

I would definitely dilute this with at least 2 cups of water. It was very, very sweet/strong before we diluted it. Just too much. But after adding water (I didn't really measure...do it to your taste) it was much better!

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I am very pleased with Lake Louise Elementary school. I have a son who is in the 1st grade there, and a daughter who is in 5th grade there. Before my daughter went to Lake Louise, she was diagnosed with Selective Mutism and she never spoke in school. When she started at Lake Louise she started talking and getting better grades as a result. I think her teacher made her feel comfortable and she has been doing great ever since! My son has also been doing great and has settled in nicely making new friends and also getting better grades.
We have one child at Lake Louise and are very pleased with his performance. The teacher, is doing an awesome job. She is easy to communicate with and she addresses any concerns promptly and efficiently.
Children are always put first and the focus on academics is great! Reading rules! :-)
We have 2 children at Lake Louise and are very pleased with their performance. Mr. Carpenter, the principal, is doing an awesome job. He is very open end is always available. The teachers are great. I recommend this school.
Lake Louise is a great school and our children really love it here. The staff and the teachers are easy to communicate with and address any concerns promptly and efficiently.

A group spokesman says the plans were abruptly cancelled last week for lack of space at the Manhattan home, which now serves as the Luxembourg consulate. The tradition started in the late 1970s...

Fayette is a restored historic town which was once one of the most

La Floridita Toro Reviews [view details]Give us YOUR review!
Showing 21 through 30 of 60 reviews
"How to enjoy these sticks"
OK, I agree with all the other reviews, this stick tastes great, but burns like hell. I was able to solve some of the burn issues, no canoe, or tunnel issues, and kept all the taste. 1. Massage the cigar. Break up any uneven pockets, or plugs. 2. Cut almost 1/2 inch off the head. I found a tough plug in the head area of most sticks. 3. Over toast the foot before lighting. Get a real even burn going at the light. 4. Don't puff agressively. Only three good puffs at the top of each minute. 5. Only ash once every 10 minutes. 6. Throw away the last inch, so as not to get the harsh smoke at the end. My first one out of the bundle was like what all the other reviews said, flat out bad news. I have now enjoyed ten more, using the steps above, and can now saty, not bad for a buck and a half.Kurt in Carmel, Indiana October 20, 2008
"Dark oily medium bodied smoke"
If you smoke a cigar or two a day its a good cigar for the price. Dark, oily, and medium bodied. The construction and burn arn't the best but for the price I can't complain too much. Give them a shot.Tim in Michigan July 21, 2008
THESE CIGARS ARE ROLLED TOO TIGHT. THEY MAKE FOR A VERY HARD DRAW, GET TOO HOT AND DO NOT BURN EVENLY. GUESS I'LL BE GIVING THESE TO THE GRASS CUTTERS, ALSO. THEY DO NOT COMPARE TO THE LA FLORIDITA LIMITED EDITION AT ALL. I LEARNED MY LESSON. YOU STILL ONLY GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.DON in PHOENIX,AZ. July 14, 2008
"Lower RH = better burn"
Great cheapo cigar. I actually prefer these over Padron 000 Series maduros. You gotta store them at a lower humidity, 60%-65% for a few months and they burn much better. Flavor-wise these cigars are incredible. Cocoa and coffee with a nice tartness on the finish.borndead1 in Kalamazoo, MI June 16, 2008
Great cigar, especially for the price. Medium body. Flavor is sweet and salty with hints of pepper and honey. Burn is a little uneven, but corrects itself. Appearance is great. Among the best bundle cigars, and certainly better than many premiums.PLS in Sacramento May 24, 2008
"I really wanted to like these!"
But, alas I did not. I picked up a twofer bundle of these and tried to smoke four of them. All tight as a drum, dang near sucked out a wisdom tooth trying to get some smoke! The rest are going back tomorrow... Pity too, these are beautiful sticks. I even dry boxed the last one for about two days before trying them for the last time.nozero in Arlington May 21, 2008
"haven't had one yet that would burn right"
wanted very much for this to be "the one" unfortunately will need to keep searching for that good everyday cigar.roy in arlington,texas May 18, 2008
"Dependable everyday smoke"
My "everyday" cigar is either La Floridita or Roly. I really like the La Floridita. Appearance is good, nice wrappers for both natural and maduro with a few veins. The construction is solid and firm to the touch but you can get some side burners and some tight draws. Flavor is really good for a "bundle" cigar. The naturals have a better flavor then the maduros. One problem I notice with the maduros is the flavor varies more then the naturals, some are rich and creamy and some can be harsh or just be weak. I have probably tried all sizes in both maduro and natural and TORO NATURALS I feel are the best. These cigars are not the "cream of the crop", but for an everyday type cigar, they are one of the best and I plan to keep purchasing them!Steve in Iowa March 20, 2008
"Very good smoke, Better price!"
So far I have purchased two bundles of these cigars and both were very good. I'm a "Maduro-Man" and these cigars had all of the characteristics that I look for in a maduro. And the price cannot be beaten. The only thing I have trouble with is - these cigars are tighter than my wife's pocketbook! The draw in many of them is poor. But beggars can't be choosers. Great taste, sweet aroma, good value (even for my wife). An all around nice "everyday" cigar.Sketch in Connecticut March 18, 2008
"Wanted to like it ........but don't"
I read so many positive reviews of the floriditas that i was very confident to buy these. thats where the positive ends. I have smoked about half of the bundle now and they burn bad, and taste worse...stick with the Famous bundles both Nic and Dominicanclark in san diego October 30, 2007

I'm a blogger and a sometime court watcher. And I'm someone who has followed with interest and engaged in activism regarding the Department of Health & Human Services' so-called "contraceptive mandate," a regulation enacted as part of the implementation of "Obamacare."
Surely my reader will be aware by now of the case pressed by Hobby Lobby stores and the owning family, the Greens, against this law. The case was heard, along with another similar case of a for-profit private industry, in March of this year. Now, everyone expects that this coming Monday - June 30th - will be "d-day" - decision day.
Those who follow my Facebook page, Standing with Hobby Lobby, will notice that I have gone more or less silent about this matter since the hearings in March. It is time that I explain myself on that score, which will deal with some of my expectations and apprehensions as Monday approaches and as we anticipate the decision of the Court.
