Ryder System Inc. announced that Eagle Distributing of Shreveport Inc., has signed a full-service lease agreement for 23 compressed natural gas tractors.
Eagle is an Anheuser-Busch distributor in northwestern Louisiana and Ryder's first natural gas lease customer in Louisiana. The CNG tractors will replace nearly all of Eagle's existing diesel-powered delivery fleet.
With natural gas vehicles available for lease and rental in markets in California, Arizona, and Michigan, Ryder now adds Shreveport, La., as its newest market with a natural gas vehicle offering. Ryder will also provide maintenance for the 23 CNG vehicles from Ryder's Shreveport service facility, which is being upgraded for compliance with natural gas standards.The CNG vehicles are part of a strategic initiative by Eagle to reduce its carbon footprint and control fuel costs. "By changing out these 23 vehicles, Eagle will cut its greenhouse gas emissions from its current 878 tons down to 670 tons, which will be a reduction of 24%," said Doug Jones, operations manager for Eagle. "We are also changing out smaller fleet vehicles to CNG," he added.Ryder's leased vehicles will be used to make deliveries throughout Eagle's service territory of nine parishes in Northwest Louisiana. Eagle is also currently exploring plans to build a natural gas fueling station near its headquarters in Shreveport.

WebMD is apparently the target of yet another merger by 2 major health web sites. Last week, Revolution Health and Everyday Health merged.
This week, HealthGrades.com has announced its acquisition of WrongDiagnosis.com.
Here's a Compete.com snapshot at how the 5 sites stack up against each other.
It looks like Revolution and Everyday are in better position to take on WebMD. HealthGrades has a ton of content behind a premium content wall.
But all of them, including WebMD, have a long way to go in catching Yahoo's Health site:
UPDATE: As a commenter pointed out, Compete can only measure the Yahoo.com traffic. So, I looked up the most recent comScore ratings for the health niche. Here they are, showing WebMD as the clear leader:

Does Jeff Bezos Know What He's Doing With the Washington Post?
By Mike Thiessen - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, NYT, WPO
The ramifications of Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) founder Jeff Bezos' out-of-nowhere decision to invest $250 million of his own money in the Washington Post Company's (NYSE: WPO) flagship newspaper extend far beyond the narrow world of newspaper publishing. Although Rupert Murdoch's 2007 purchase of the Wall Street Journal sent similar shockwaves through the industry, Bezos' foray into print represents the first time that a technology entrepreneur has "crossed over more »

First it was indie projects like the Ouya. Then a major tech company, NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), stepped into the market with its handheld SHIELD.

MercadoLibre or eBay: Which Is a Better Pick?
By Joshua Bondy - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, EBAY, MELI
MercadoLibre (NASDAQ: MELI) is a popular e-commerce site in Latin America and a good play on their growing middle class. Still, valuation is an important part of the picture. Compared to similar competitors like eBay (NASDAQ: EBAY), MercadoLibre is expensive and carries a number of risks. eBay is not a small company anymore, but it has a number of qualities that make it attractive.

What Is Amazon Worth?
By Ted Cooper - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, EBAY
No matter how poorly the economy is doing, there will always be plenty of growth stocks for investors to choose among. Growth stocks tend to get the spotlight because of the wide-ranging estimates -- usually very optimistic estimates -- about their futures. However, sometimes the market is not as optimistic as it should be, or at least it offers growth at a reasonable price. Such is the case today for Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZNmore »)
Stay Far Away From This Retailer
By Marie Palumbo - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, BBY, RSH
Despite RadioShack's (NYSE: RSH) many problems, some investors still believe in the struggling retailer. In "RadioShack's Turnaround Plan Has a Glimmer of Hope," Motley Fool analyst Blake Bos cautiously explained why RadioShack could possibly turnaround. Then last week, an article appeared in the Wall Street Journal that also offered thoughts on a possible reversal for the cash-bleeding company.

Two Tech Stocks Favored by Insiders
By Jag Mitra - August 15, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, T, EBAY, LEAP
Stock price movements are guided not only by broad economic trends and company policies, but various other factors like institutional interest. Ceteris paribus, increased institutional buying of a stock is an indicator of good things to come. Similarly, insider buying is also considered a positive indicator for a stock. Like any other indicator, I do not use these in isolation. However, in conjunction with the analysis of other factors, these more »
Consumer Electronics Retailers: HHGREGG vs Best Buy
By John Chachere - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, BBY, HGG, RSH
With the fall of Circuit City in November of 2008, many have questioned whether investments in consumer electronics companies are worth the risk. RadioShack (NYSE: RSH) has fallen from a high in the $30-$40 range to a low of $2.60 per share, reducing it to penny stock status. But, HHGREGG (NYSE: HGG) and Best Buy (NYSE: BBY) offer plenty to investors looking at retail, especially those whom are more »

Since Wal-Mart (NYSE: WMT) opened its first store in 1962, the retail giant built an empire that is unmatched in size and revenue. In 2012, Wal-Mart hauled in a whopping $443.8 billion in sales.

Walmart Isn't Going Anywhere
By Chris Johnson - August 14, 2013 | Tickers: AMZN, TGT, WMT
Over the last several months, I've heard many analysts and investors alike spark debate that Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) is slowly becoming Walmart's (NYSE: WMT) demise in the retail industry. That online retailer is the shopping cart of the future and will be the end of Walmart. While the beginning of this conjecture may be true, people often forget that Wal-mart has some of the most valuable resources in more »

Investors in Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) have not been deterred by the extremely high P/E ratio (even ratios based on future earnings) and the high share price relative to book value. Instead, the focus is on the fact that Amazon is the most successful of the dot-com companies and has enormous room to grow compared to its competitors. The following are reasons I believe that Amazon, even trading around $300 more »

LONDON--BAE Systems PLC (BA.LN) Wednesday confirmed the appointment of prominent U.K. businessman Roger Carr as Chairman-designate of the U.K.'s largest defense contractor, succeeding Dick Olver who will step down in 2014 after nine years in the chairman's role.
Mr. Carr, 66, has held a number of City roles including his current post as chairman of U.K. gas utility Centrica PLC (CNA.LN) which he will leave as he joins BAE.
His appointment to comes BAE at a delicate juncture in the company's history, with its independence and strategy under scrutiny after the failure of the planned merger with European Aeronautic Defence & Space Co. (EAD.FR) last year amid contracting military budgets in the U.S. and Europe. The British company makes aircraft-carriers, submarines, fighter jets, missiles and armored vehicles with around 70% of its revenue coming from the U.S.
"BAE Systems is strategically important not just for the U.K. but internationally, playing a key role in the defence industry in the U.S. and in other parts of the world," Mr. Carr said in a statement. "It is well-positioned in a rapidly evolving industry to face uncertainties around defence budgets and has great opportunities in new geographies and technologies."
Mr. Olver's departure comes after BAE ran into heavy criticism from some U.K. investors for the attempt to merge with Airbus-owner EADS to create the biggest aerospace and defense company after Boeing Co. (BA) with some $90 billion in revenue. The deal with EADS would have returned BAE, one of the companies behind the creation of Airbus, to the commercial aviation market which is booming due to strong demand for new fuel-efficient passenger jets.
The deal was vetoed by the German government, worried about foreign influence over EADS' German defense assets though some of BAE's British institutional shareholders also voiced opposition to the deal because they said it would threaten BAE's generous dividend policy and ability to secure U.S. defense contracts. U.S.-based subsidiary BAE Systems Inc. is one of the Pentagon's biggest suppliers.
BAE retains close ties to EADS through the Eurofighter combat aircraft consortium and the MBDA missiles joint venture.
Write to Marietta Cauchi at firstname.lastname@example.com
"BAE Systems Appoints Roger Carr as Chairman," at 0621 GMT, misstated proportion of revenue earned in the U.S. The British company makes aircraft-carriers, submarines, fighter jets, missiles and armored vehicles with around 40%, not 70%, of its revenue coming from the U.S.

Google is running a test offering about 2,000 premium videos available for free streaming viewing, inserting a persistent banner-type ad at the top of the screen and showing an additional post-roll video ad once the premium content has finished streaming. The test is expected to last about a week, according to Peter Chane, group business product manager, Google Video.
Currently, premium content on Google Video is available via a pay-to-own model that allows users to download and replay ad-free programming at any time. These videos usually cost between $0.99 and $14.99, but you own them once you pay for them. The test program only allows users to stream the content in real-time, and you can't save videos once viewed.
For this test, Google has allowed advertisers to choose the content that their ads are sponsoring. Likewise, content owners have the option to vet an advertiser to make sure the ad is appropriate for the content. Over time, Chane expects that this human-intensive process will become much more automated.
Google intends to run many similar tests over the course of the coming year. The goal is to find ways to expand the amount of premium content available on Google Video and see if free, ad-spondored content attracts certain types of viewing audiences, said Chane.

5 Earnings Stocks Poised to Pop
One potential earnings short-squeeze trade in the computer storage sector is Xyratex (XRTX), which is set to report results on Thursday after the market close. This company provides modular solutions for the enterprise data storage industry and hard disk drive capital equipment for the HDD industry. Street analysts, on average, expect Xyratex to report revenue of $316.51 million on earnings of 26 cents per share.
Stifel Nicolaus recently cut its rating on this stock to hold from buy, citing that the stock has a more balanced risk/reward after a 25% rally year-to-date, and an 80% move since early October. Despite that recent downgrade, this stock is trending very strong and trading just one point off its 52-week high of $17.52 a share.The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Xyratex sits at 4.4%. That means that out of the 26.76 million shares in the tradable float, 1.19 million are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 11.3%, or by about 121,000 shares. This isn't a huge short interest, but it's more than enough to spark a decent short-covering rally if the company can report strong earnings and bullish guidance. >>3 Tech Stocks With More Upside for 2012 From a technical perspective, XRTX is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has soared from its October low of $9.01 to a recent high of $17.52 a share. During that move, XRTX has consistently made higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish price action. Now the stock is trading within range of triggering a big breakout trade post-earnings. If you're bullish on XRTX, I would wait until after its report and look for long biased trades if the stock breaks out above some overhead resistance at $17.52 to $17.68 a share with high-volume. Look for volume on a move over those levels that are near or well above its three-month average volume of 266,334 shares. If we get that action, then look for XRTX to tag $20 or higher if the bulls gain full control of this stock post-earnings. I would simply avoid XRTX or look for short biased trades if after earnings that breakout never triggers and the stock drops back below its 50-day at $16.55 a share, and then below some near-term support at $15.95 with high-volume. If we get that move, then look for XRTX to drop pretty big sine the next nearest support level is near $14.50 to $13 a share. Follow @stockpickr

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The Henryville, Ind. mother who lost her legs protecting her children from the March 2, 2012 tornado, is making new strides.
People in Frankfort are applauding Stephanie Decker in a picture she posted on her Facebook page.
She captioned it, "We did it! It passed the House of Representatives!! Senate bound!"
She was referring to a bill requiring insurance companies to pay for the most advanced prosthetics for people who lose limbs.
She's been telling lawmakers how she's able to walk thanks to a similar law in Indiana, which allowed her to afford her high-tech prosthetic legs.

A few years ago, while plodding through a revision of my novel (revisions require the writer's equivalent of heavy-duty hiking boots), I got bored by my writing. It was too literal, too realistic, too earnest, and too flat.
Most writers are all too familiar with this feeling after a red-eyed reading of a draft. I needed a way to literally jar my narrative sensibility. I needed jazz, punk rock, Jackson Pollock, Merce Cunningham, something.
Around this time, I read a quote by Emily Dickinson that remains among my favorite writing advice: "Tell all the truth but tell it slant."
I started reading poetry avidly and discovered that by focusing on the exquisite "slant" poetry offers, the "truth" I was trying to capture became more piquant, surprising, nuanced, playful, and meaningful to me.
So, in honor of National Poetry Month and Poem In Your Pocket Day, here are my 10 reasons prose writers should read—and hopefully write—poetry.

This one ply worsted weight yarn comes in a range of stunning self-striping color combinations, from pastel rainbow to muted neutrals. Casablanca is light and soft, with a slight tweedy texture from the silk and a halo effect from the mohair. Garments made from Casablanca will be warm and lightweight, with unique texture and out of this world color! Made in China.
Casablanca Yarn Review
First Impressions: This yarn really appealed to me as soon as I opened the package. The color and texture combined pulled me right in. I received 3 skeins of yarn on the same day and Casablanca was the one I wound right away. It has a rugged rustic look to it from the nubby tweed texture and single ply construction. Yarns like this always get to me.
|Mainstreet Cowl in Casablanca #02 Denim
This yarn gets points for being tangle free and knot free.
All in all I loved knitting with this yarn. I hit one snag (discussed below), but it didn't put me off. I wish I knew in advance, but live and learn. And that's why reviews are helpful.
Cons: I had one problem with the yarn, which I am completely willing to overlook and wouldn't keep me from using the yarn again. However, before beginning to work with this yarn you should know that it's pretty delicate despite it's hardy appearance (remember, it is a single ply). I pulled the yarn apart without much effort at all. It was one piece and then it was two. When it happened I was completely startled. I'd decided to tie a square knot at the beginning of round 2 of my cowl to keep the ends together. I was pretty sure I hand't inadvertently exerted superhuman strength, so I tried gently pulling at another piece of yarn. Sure enough it pulled apart. I tried spit splicing it, but that didn't work very well.
Winding the yarn (using swift and ball winder) didn't give me any problem with tearing.
Stitch Definition & Pattern Selection: If you're looking for a yarn to produce crisp clean cables or defined texture and lace stitches than this isn't your yarn. If you like a worn in, comfortable, pretty, but not so crisp yarn then you'll love Casablanca. It's all about pairing the yarn with the right project. The nubby texture of the yarn itself makes it look gorgeous in simple stitches like stockinette (regular or reverse), garter, and ribbing. Choose patterns that let the yarn shine. Pieces that rely on simple stitches with innovative or classic shaping would be good candidates.
Recommend Casablanca to a Friend? Yes. For the right project I think this is a very lovely yarn to work with. And I gotta say, 11 out of the 15 available colorways appeal to me. That's pretty impressive.
Try Casablanca with my free Mainstreet Cowl pattern! Cowl uses one skein (220 yards).
*The yarn in this review was received complimentary from the manufacturer for test knitting & designing purposes. Reviewer was not otherwise paid, contracted, or obligated to review the yarn or product in this review.

Volunteer ResourcesCouncil Login Student Voice Login
The Student Representative Council has received many queries regarding the current state of campus parking. In response to these queries, the SRC has made contact with administration and has released these following responses concerning universal parking issues.
Why isn't there more parking on campus?
The University is presently providing the maximum amount of parking possible. There are, however, plans in place to accommodate more student parking in the future. The administration is aware of and shares the students' concern. Everything that can be done is being done. The difficulty with this situation is that there is an immediate concern with a long-term solution. Campus is expanding, and more parking will come as a result of expansion. This process requires patience and understanding. Prime parking may not be available all the time, but students are encouraged to use the free parking lots available on the south end of campus and on the north at the corner of 1st South and College Ave.
Has there been any discussion about building parking garages?
There have been many discussions about the potential for a parking garage and for underground parking. The overall consensus is that the costs outweigh the benefits; currently, a typical parking space costs roughly 3,000 dollars, whereas a parking garage parking stall would cost roughly 40,000 dollars. This does not include additional necessary expenditures, including cost and extent of construction, increased liability concerns, significant increases in security needs, and cost of maintenance. All these factors result in administration deciding not invest in a parking garage at this time.
Is it possible to implement a temporary permit kiosk system?
Due to the limited parking space, and considering the high levels of permit sales every semester, allowing any student to buy a one-day pass would create complications for the students who applied and paid for a long-term permit. Additionally, any student can apply for a Free Parking permit, so any student can park close to campus free of charge. Free lots are located on 7th South, on 2nd East, and on the Corner of 1st South and College Ave. Students are encouraged to take advantage of this additional parking space. Additionally, temporary permits are available through parking services for limited use.
Why do I need a permit for free parking lots?
The reason for the permit in free parking is so students' ability to park is guaranteed. Without parking permits in place, any one-whether they are community members or students-would be able to park in those free lots. By requiring permits for these lots, there is certainty in a student's ability to park somewhere on or close to campus. The permit process also provides a way to identify the owners of vehicles that may need to be moved for snow removal or other maintenance needs.
Why is it that students who live across the street from campus can receive parking passes, thus limiting availability for those who live farther, and why is there no policy in place to screen these individuals?
If the university were to screen students based on where they live, it would be a demonstration of discrimination, which would increase the possibility of lawsuits against the university.

Repurposing 101: How To Make This Into That
Apartment Therapy Video Roundup
I've always admired people with a knack for repurposing, the ones who can go to an antique store or garage sale and see endless potential in somebody else's old stuff. Kasey and Jordana Henke, the co-owners of an Etsy shop selling vintage goods, are two such people, and they've generously shared some of their ideas with us. From our video archives, here are three fun (and really simple!) repurposing projects.
First, from Kasey, this clever idea for making a shoe form into a lamp. The instructions are really simple, making this a great project even for the DIY-challenged.
From Jordana, a clever idea for repurposing an old rake head.
And finally, how to make a photo holder from an old doorknob. It's a really simple and inexpensive project that will give your home a little vintage charm.
Thanks for watching, and happy crafting!
• More About The Stars: Kasey and Jordana Henke bid against each other at an auction in rural Iowa a few years ago, and life has never been the same. Since then they got married, had two kids, and started having sales on their farm which eventually led to a farm store and Etsy shop called Rescued Junk. To find out more about their farm sales, visit their Facebook page.

Wow- You can really make almost anything into a lamp! Love the ingenuity, thanks for sharing! We are all about taking things and finding new ways to use them- mainly industrial materials into furniture and art.
It's so nice to see others saving vintage materials from the landfill- and giving them new life. Thank you!

Provecho Grill is one of our favorite local establishments for many reasons, one of which is the generous way in which they have given back to Menifee since the first day they opened their doors.
To say owner and executive chef, Rosie O'Connor, is humble would be an understatement. She charitably gives and has always done so with her heart because she truly cares, the thought of publishing a story about her goodwill was something she resisted.
But at the end of each day it is because of you, her loyal customers, and the continued patronage of the community that affords Rosie and Provecho the opportunity to give back. So it is with humble gratitude that Provecho reluctantly shares some of the ways they make Menifee a better place.
From the first time we met Rosie she was adamant about her desire to be involved and to help grow our community. Her excitement and passion for community service is evident in the emotional way she shares some of her projects.
"This work is meaningful to me, it touches my heart," she says, "We (at Provecho) are so thankful to this community for embracing us. And we feel so lucky to be here."
This past weekend Provecho cooked up an abundance of summer squash, enchilada casserole with ancho chilies, and all of the fixings to help Faithful Servants feed the homeless through their program Helping People in Need.
Rosie and her staff made each tray of donated food with love and care, and shared "We want them to eat well. Food lets you escape to somewhere else for a little while, it transports your senses and takes you away and that's what we hope to offer."
Over the summer Provecho has donated hundreds of lunches to the Junior Golf Program to feed it's hungry participants. They have donated raffle prizes to Sun City Concern, and are always looking for more ways to give.
Despite the somewhat large population, Menifee maintains the comfort and love of a small town feel to which Rosie relates, "You feel like you matter. What you do, it matters."
Provecho Grill also offers fundraising opportunities for sports teams, schools, and organizations. Please contact Provecho for more information.

It's a matter of opinion of whether these quests are better or not. While the story itself is interesting, it is extremely tedious in how much running around you do. Right now I'm leveling an alliance toon to do all of this stuff and I'm alright with the quests as long as there's a nice story or a good reward, but dear lord is there a lot of Fedex deliveries and I know a LOT of people hate doing them.
I wouldn't say horde quests are necessarily worse. You just have to understand that they come from different perspectives. The Tauren have those interesting hunting quests, the Forsaken have quests that are typically bent on vengeance but usually have a hint of sadness in them, trolls have cool voodoo-ish quests, etc.
The ax reward for this quest is totally awesome btw.

Artist Portfolio
Bayaud and Galapago
43.5" x 41"
oil on Mylar
For this painting I set up a big homemade easel in the middle of the median. Every thirty seconds or so the light rail would come by with its electronic horn blasts and the bells of the cross ringing. Once they were gone it was strangely quiet for up to a minute, till the next one.
3rd and Santa Fe
17.5" x 17"
Oil on Mylar
4th and Kalamath
32" x 80"
Oil on Panel
76 & 270 Northwest
22" x 30"
Graphite and Charcoal on Paper
6th and Kalamath
33" x 48"
76 & 270: Two Hours
16" x 16"
Bayaud and Galapago Drawing
Ink on Mylar
This drawing changed scale and composition several times before its final state occurred to me. The way the railroad crossing lights seemed to stare at me, and how all lines lead to the mountains were the key elements in this piece.
Cherokee and Alameda Drawing
The writing on the upper right: "When you're drawing these man-made shapes and their relationships on the picture plane, you get scientific perspective whether you want it or not."
3nd and Santa Fe Drawing
I started this drawing at the very center of the composition, with a focus on the negative shape relationships. I allowed the drawing to grow and shift naturally on an oversized piece of Mylar until it was finished, all in one session.
Inca St. Alley
21.5" x 42"
The view from the garage where I lived in Denver's Baker neighborhood was compelling with its billboard and tangle of power lines. The nails in the fence wept rust, and few structures were square.

In both domestic and international transactions, there will be payments involved, whether they are done through bank wire transfers, merchant payment systems, investment brokerage firms, or through online FOREX or currency exchange media. In every situation involving your receipt of a payment, regardless of its amount or purpose, you expose yourself and your business tto the risk of being accused of money laundering.
The definition of 'money laundering' or 'conspiracy to participate, further, aid, abet, or engage in a money laundering scheme' is sufficiently general (especially in the United States at the present time) that there is a duty imposed upon the recipients of any payments to 1) perform an authentication of the source of the funds; 2) conduct at least a cursory or reasonable investigation of the sender of the funds; and, 3) obtain, if at all possible a sworn representation from the sender that the funds were A) obtained legally (and are free of all liens, encumbrances, taxes or tariffs due), and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, and have been B) transmitted legally and in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations.
While neither The Internationalist Page Blog nor The Links4LifeAlerts! Blog do not provide, and must not be construed as providing legal, tax, financial or accounting advice, we would strongly suggest, that you and your firm construct, with the assistance and oversight of expert legal counsel, a system of protocols and documentation in order to be able to demonstrate that you have taken your responsibility to prevent and avoid participating in any type of money laundering. You might consider using some of the procedures and forms provided through ICS - International Connection Services, in conjunction with your attorney's advisement in order to avoid making yourself or your business appear to be involved in any aspect of money laundering.
The points set forth above cannot be overemphasized. You must now be defensive, not only in your conducting of business and commerce, but you must also act as if you were a regulator in evaluating, investigating, authenticating and documenting of every payment.
The article which follows (re-printed) appeared in The New York Times regarding Liberty Reserve, an online payments and money transfer system that has been accused by several international intelligence and law enforcement agencies of knowingly serving as a conduit for money laundering:
Online Currency Exchange Accused of Laundering $6 Billion

"Organized crime and terrorist groups are now financing their operations through these anonymous payment systems," said Tom Kellermann, a vice president at Trend Micro, a security firm. "The financial sector no longer has a monopoly on moving capital around the world."
These are indeed difficult times in the world's capital markets, and blame, entrapment and prosecution are becoming increasing pervasive. This means that in order to further secure your safety and freedom you've got to be all the more diligent. Anticipate, as would The Global Futurist Blog's readership, that things will only get tougher.

A perfect abode
A perfect dwelling
Crafted for mankind
The paradise on earth
Until they came…
Brothers of the league
Vicious and hostile
Pitiless and heartless
They are called "pain"
They are a terror
The first flows hot
Burning and frying
Anything in his path
Caring for none
But its freedom
Its brother in one roar
Cracking open the face of earth
Pulling its victims down
And tearing limbs from flesh
A quick temper
Another, always in a massive rush
Drowning and destroying set ups
Dare to stand in his way?
He rushes past you
Taking you all the way… down!
Their sweep is massacre
Even the earth suffers
Proof they take along
It doesn't look like;
They are stopping anytime soon.

Stories Of Tech And The Evolution Of Commercial Aviation
By: Erica Swallow, Guest Contributor
Commercial aviation had its birth in Florida, when the first commercial winged flight took place in 1914, flying 21 miles with one paying passenger, a local mayor. Since then, the industry has soared to new heights, offering more than just a seat to passengers, but an entire experience, with food, tech, spirits and comfort to boot. We've come a long, long way, fellow passengers.

TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwire) -- 11/26/12 -- TransGaming Inc. (TSX VENTURE:TNG), would like to address the concerns evident in the marketplace regarding the current state of the business. The company's management, board, and employees are all committed and focused on ensuring the ongoing growth of TransGaming. We recognize and hear the questions and concerns raised by our shareholders regarding our cash flow and we have taken steps to restructure the company towards achieving an even more streamlined organization, with a reduced cost base. A number of alternatives remain under consideration, but for now we believe these steps will allow us to reach our goal of break-even by Q3 or Q4 of this fiscal year.
The business itself has demonstrated ongoing strength with a compounded annual growth rate in revenue in excess of 30% in the past 5 years. Even our detractors have cited significant revenue growth projections for this current fiscal year (2013), which we are on target to achieve.
As part of the effort to streamline the company, we have recently completed a major internal restructuring that has now organized the business into two P&L verticals: i) The Graphics & Portability Group (GPG) which handles all of our licensing of core IP related to Cider and SwiftShader; ii) The Digital Media Group (DMG) which handles all of our in-home content and digital distribution. We have integrated our acquired iTV business unit and our GameTree TV business unit together into a single unified division to leverage common resources and talent pool. Both groups operate as their own P&Ls and are being measured against internal budgets and forecasts. Additionally, over the last 2-3 quarters, we have implemented a 30% reduction in headcount to reduce expenses along with other cost constraining measures.
We have strong growth prospects ahead of us, which are outlined below.
For our Graphics and Portability Group:
-- This business segment has not received attention from shareholders but continues to grow and generates high margin revenues. -- We are working on a number of new Mac titles, on an ongoing basis, and these titles are generating both upfront revenues as well as back-end revenue shares. -- Our MMO games are performing well and gaining traction. The recently announced Guild Wars 2 online game is exceeding user targets and will drive revenues in the coming quarters. -- We have a long-term business relationship with companies like EA and Disney that bring a continual flow of new titles. -- We have major licensing negotiations underway for our core IP with both Cider and SwiftShader that we expect to close within Q3. -- Overall, we expect our GPG group to generate strong revenues in FY2013 and to be profitable as a business unit.
For our Digital Media Group:
-- We recognize that GameTree TV deployments have taken considerably longer then originally anticipated. The slower pace arises from the current economic slowdown being experienced globally that has caused major operators to become more conservative with their CapEx spending. That said, TransGaming continues to negotiate new agreements and has seen the level of activity increase. -- Our SelecTV deployment is moving forward positively, albeit behind schedule. The initial deployment plan was with a series of hotels in Asia. However, SelecTV now has major hotels within the Toronto and the broader Canadian market and both parties deemed it to be more effective and efficient to begin deployments in TransGaming's home territory instead of Asia. More information about the specific hotels will be released early in the new year. -- We are in active negotiations on the commercial agreement with a major European service provider. We expect to execute an agreement early in 2013 and commence integration with a new operator towards launch with H1 calendar 2013. -- We are actively working with the East Asian operator deployment (announced June, 2012) and expect them to be ready to launch within the second quarter of calendar 2013. -- Our Asian partner relationship is now entering the negotiation stage of full commercial terms. We are actively reviewing business terms and legals and expect to execute a definitive agreement early in the new calendar year. -- We are imminently releasing a major update to Free which includes a complete overhaul on the GameTree TV client and transitions the service to a subscription only model at EUR4,99. This will improve the overall ARPU for the GameTree TV service and this updated client will be deployed on all upcoming new service providers. -- We released a major update with DISH Network in October that has been received very well and will provide increased revenues with higher ARPU. -- Overall, and to reiterate, the GameTree TV business has taken longer to materialize then projected. However, TransGaming today has 5 service providers that we are actively working with or striving to launch by Q2 of calendar 2013. We are also front-loading our payment schedule with new launches so that the service providers cover development and integration fees. Between existing customers and new agreements being signed, TransGaming has the largest Connected TV distribution footprint in the world.
Finally, to strengthen the balance sheet, TransGaming is working with our investment bankers and financial institutions to evaluate a range of options that will provide the markets with the comfort that the company's current liquidity risk will be reduced.
We delivered a record FY13 Q1 and we expect continued strength in Q2, and the following quarters, towards a fiscal year that will be marked by the greatest year-over-year growth to-date. Therefore, we remain bullish about the company's future prospects.

London JS: Visual Regression Testing, Continuous Deployment & SidekickJS
London JS August covered a variety of things. Tim Ruffles came along to talk about SidekickJS, James Cryer spoke about his work with visual regression testing and Adam Rogers enlightened us with his thoughts on continuous deployment.
SidekickJS - Tim Ruffles
Over the last 6 months, Tim has been working on SideKick JS, his code quality tracking tool. He built this because he felt it was important to take stock of the code that was being produced in dev teams.
Tracking the quality of your code can benefit you in several ways, where one of the most important things is the gradual increase in the quality of your code. You know your code is now being monitored, so you're likely to pay more attention to your writing. SideKickJS gives stats on quality: being at the top of the proverbial leader board can make you feel pretty good and feel confident in your code base.
One of the most interesting parts of Sidekick JS to me was its fuzzy duplication detection; it flags up areas of your codebase that are structurally identical, indicating that it there may be duplicates and thus uneccesary code. I'm just starting out in JavaScript and there have already been several occasions where I've written duplicate code, so I can see this being quite useful for me.
SidekickJS is still relatively new and thus there are a number of things that need to be improved with this tool; it doesn't handle coffeescript or library specific code, nor does it work with object level metrics yet, but only deals with things at the function level. But it looks like Sidekick is going in the right direction and I'd definitely like to try it out!
Check out Tim's slides: http://timruffles.github.io/sidekick-js-talk/
Visual Regression Testing - James Cryer
Next was James Cryer and his talk on using PhantomCSS for visual regression testing. Until then, I had no idea what visual regression testing was. Now, I know that it is where we can monitor changes within a visual design.
PhantomCSS is a screenshot comparison library for CasperJS. In our day to day we're already doing manual visual regression testing, but it can be very time intensive and subject to human error. PhantomCSS allows us to automate this process and do it faster by simply taking screenshots of the design, comparing it to previous screenshots and reporting whether or not they are different.
It appears that visual regression testing with PhantomCSS doesn't work too well with anti-aliasing or animations, but it is quicker than human visual regression testing and gives much better reporting. Definitely worth looking into.
James's Slides: https://speakerdeck.com/jamescryer/visual-regression-testing-with-phantomcss
Continuous Deployment - Adam Rogers
Finally we had Adam Rogers talk about Continuous Deployment (CD). Adam firmly believes that it should be a trivial process to get your code into production and should only include a small amount of steps and people to get it done. Using CD, even if something goes awry, you can quickly deploy the necessary bug fixes smoothly and efficiently.
To ensure that your code is ready to be deployed, you can run tests on it. Did your code pass the test? Yes? Then there's a good chance it works so Adam says "don't worry and deploy that code!". You can even tie deployment into the testing process; if it passes, deploy the code.
To see whether or not your deployment was a success, get metrics;
"If it moves, put a metric on it".
Using Foldable.Me (a project he works on at Mint Digital) as an example of continuous deployment, he told us that recently when new code was deployed they noticed a drop in transactions. These metrics told them something was wrong and they could quickly go in and fix it.
What can be an important part of Continuous Deployment is the use of Feature Flags. You can still deploy stuff that isn't quite ready by turning features on and off for the general populus. You can also use feature flags to gently roll out new features to segments of users and see how well they are received, before going ahead and turning the features on for everyone.
Lastly; you shouldn't go ahead with the deploy until you've had someone else check your code. Once you have deployed, don't run to the pub; stick around and see if everything is okay first.
Ultimately, in Adams opinion, if you can't deploy quickly and easily your code is broken.
Adam's Slides: https://speakerdeck.com/rodreegez/daft-deploy-all-the-f-star-ing-time
I was introduced to a lot of things at this edition of London JS and even played with PhantomCSS a little afterwards. A great evening and lots of knowledge gained as always. Thanks to the fantastic speakers and everyone who came along.

Pictured: Io and Jupiter
Io is the innermost of the four Galilean moons of Jupiter. With a diameter of 2,263 miles, it is the 3rd largest of Jupiter's moons and the fourth largest moon in our solar system. It was discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610 AD. Io is named for the daughter of Inachus, who was raped by Jupiter. Jupiter, in an effort to hide his crime from his wife, Juno, transformed Io into a heifer.
Here are some interesting facts about Io:
- With more than 400 active volcanoes, It's the most geologically active body in our solar system. Because of this, Io's surface looks a lot different than our own moon. The lava flowing from the volcanoes continiously reshape the landscape. Io is also home to the most powerful volcano in our solar system, Loki. Loki can spew our over 1,000 square meters of lava per second.
- Not only does Io have some of the most powerful volcanos in the solar system, but it also has the tallest mountains as well. Some of the mountains are as high as 55,000ft, which is almost twice as high as Mt. Everest.
- While the surface temperature on Io is generally cold, the surface near an active volcano can heat up to tempreatures up to 3,000F.
- Io has a thin atmosphere consisting mainly of sulfar dioxide with trace amounts of iron monoxide silicon monixide, silicon dioxide and iron monoxide.
Today's Astronomy Picture of the Day shows a time laps photo of the conjunctions of the Moon and Mercury just before dawn.
A conjunction usually refers to when two or more planets/the Moon are very close together. These types of alignments happen pretty often, like when the Moon, Venus and Jupiter were grouped together in the sky a few months ago.
What I find neat about this particular photo is that it shows the Moon transitioning through the phases.
Click on the link to read more information about the picture. -JNB
An active volcanic eruption on Jupiter's moon Io was captured in this false color image taken on February 22, 2000 by NASA's Galileo spacecraft. White and orange areas on the left side of the picture show newly erupted hot lava. The two small bright spots are sites where molten rock is exposed to the surface at the toes of lava flows. The larger orange and yellow ribbon is a cooling lava flow that is more than more than 60 kilometers (37 miles) long.
This video was taken of Io by New Horizons as it passed by Jupiter on its way to Pluto and the Kuiper Belt:

Well hi! How are ya?
I feel like its been about 6 months since I last posted. Mainly because it has been.
How yall been?
I still think 2012 is better. And I still fucking hate the Penguins. For real. Fuck Sid Crosby. French Canadian Faggot…

If this is who I think it is, I wish we could too…
If you line up the yellow lines with the left side of the handlebars and the white line with the right side of the handle bars, it'll get you home every time…
Think I'm gonna go ride my motorcycle without a helmet for a little while
I think I might do the same thing. I need some bike therapy. Fuck single digit temperatures, Ive got a bandana.
Because I am bored!
because i want to see which one of my followers will be the most creative

An unbelievable bad-weather day
We learned from the news that we were on the edge of a big winter storm that hit Arizona and closed parts of some freeways. While the weather presented a difficult driving day to us, it did not stop us in our tracks like it did some people.
• Before I close today's blog entry, I also learned today what it is like to drive the new U.S. 93 truck route by Hoover Dam. Learned when Diane told me.
I was in the sleeper then. It was just after sunset so if there was something to see, Diane did not see it. The new road is more significant then the view. After 911, trucks were prohibited from driving over the Hoover Dam. We had to take a different route that was less fun. A new bridge was built for truck and the going is easier now. This was our first time across that bridge.
