In my October 2, 2008 blog entry, I shared the unfortunate news of Web 2.0's demise. This news is now hitting Silicon Valley and Silicon alleys around the world.
Soon all Web 2.0 events will either be "cancelled," or their organizers will make a last-minute attempt to pull together a last show, but throw in the towel after that, IMHO.
If they buck all business logic, and go ahead with their final scheduled Web 2.0 events, they'll lose millions of dollars and find out after their last show that Web 2.0 was DOA (as a software business model) anyway. Industry participation is a key indicator to determine the viability of technology trends. And what is better an indicator than the success or failure of an industry event on a particular subject matter.
This week a WSJ blog entry (advertorial) written by Jeremy Liew entitled, "Will the Recession Kill Web 2.0?", discusses this same thing. He approaches the subject from the business point-of-view (well, there's really no other point-of-view). He thinks some Web 2.0 companies may exit the recession stronger at the expense of the many others that won't make it through. The outcome will be based on the revenue and profitability that reflect their readership demographics, like niche sites that won't be as severely affected by the advertising slump and may flourish despite the economic downturn.
As far as "Web 2.0 as a software business model" goes, I repeat my initial view of October, 2008. Web 2.0 isn't a software business model and has never been. Yes, there was an attempt to make Web 2.0 a software business model, but it crashed and burned at the beginning of 2008, four years after the Web 2.0 Kool-Aid was first passed around the software industry as a solution, a path to heavenly riches. Now the believers in the non-existent "Web 2.0 software business model" find themselves in a situation much like much of Wall Street but without any bail-out parachutes.
I'm not saying that the "Panic of 2008" killed Web 2.0. I'm saying that Web 2.0 was never a way to create revenues. And many software companies and start-ups have ended up in the Web 2.0 dead end.
I'm also not saying that many businesses that we call Web 2.0 sites (for lack of a better term) will disappear because of the recession. What I mean is that none of them needed the services of the hundreds of software companies that positioned themselves as Web 2.0 solution providers. There hasn't been a single example of it since the day the first "Web 2.0 software business model" Kool-Aid was consumed.
Who are these Web 2.0 software companies and solutions providers?
You name them.
Any software company that had the words "Web 2.0" in their "About" page is either out of business, or saw the freight train coming and packed it up and moved off the tracks before they got hit.
Companies that redirected and refocused their research, development, services, and solutions on to more viable technologies by getting off the Web 2.0 bus will at least survive the recession. Some software companies, among best in their competitive landscape, that are providing high-impact cost-saving solutions, and directly fighting the recession will grow, profit, and prosper.
As for the question: "Will the Recession Kill Web 2.0?" - I repeat Web 2.0 as a sustainable software business model never existed and never had a chance, recession or no recession.
Think about it for a moment. Which Web 2.0 software solution provider is behind the success of MySpace, Facebook, or YouTube?
If the start-ups and giants who call themselves Web 2.0 software companies had a clue about what Web 2.0 meant, they would have created MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube.
There are dozens of future Web 2.0 success stories (for lack of a better word) -that are today at their inception, or at the toddler or teenage stage, and they'll be the Web 2.0 giants of tomorrow (recession or no recession), but none of them will be created by one of the so-called Web 2.0 solution providers you used to see on Web 2.0 conference expo floors.
Many of them don't exist anymore, and the few that are left are on life support.
With this gloomy outlook for Web 2.0 (as a software business model), a happy and healthy holiday season to all.

I fairly agree that Web 2.0 is dying little by little, sites like Craiglist have to improve otherwise they will die and never get up
WebRTC has had a real tough three or four years, and so have those working with it. Only a few short years ago, the development world were excited about WebRTC and proclaiming how awesome it was. You might have played with the technology a couple of years ago, only to find the extra infrastructure requirements were painful to implement and poorly documented. This probably left a bitter taste in your mouth, especially when things went wrong.

Too often with compelling new technologies market participants become overly enamored with that attractiveness of the technology and neglect underlying business drivers. This tendency, what some call the "newest shiny object syndrome," is understandable given that virtually all of us are heavily engaged in technology. But it is also mistaken. Without concrete business cases driving its deployment, IoT, like many other technologies before it, will fade into obscurity.

The IoT market is on track to hit $7.1 trillion in 2020. The reality is that only a handful of companies are ready for this massive demand. There are a lot of barriers, paint points, traps, and hidden roadblocks. How can we deal with these issues and challenges? The paradigm has changed. Old-style ad-hoc trial-and-error ways will certainly lead you to the dead end. What is mandatory is an overarching and adaptive approach to effectively handle the rapid changes and exponential growth.

You have your devices and your data, but what about the rest of your Internet of Things story? Two popular classes of technologies that nicely handle the Big Data analytics for Internet of Things are Apache Hadoop and NoSQL. Hadoop is designed for parallelizing analytical work across many servers and is ideal for the massive data volumes you create with IoT devices. NoSQL databases such as Apache HBase are ideal for storing and retrieving IoT data as "time series data."

Obama's New Budget Calls For $10,000 Rebate For Electric CarsIncredibly, the $10,000 rebate could also be applied to natural gas vehicles and other high-tech, green cars.http://gas2.org/2012/02/15/obamas-new-budget-calls-for-10000-rebate-for-electric-cars/
Last year, Obama's budget failed 97 to 0 in his own Democrat Senate. This year, Reid isn't even going to bring up Obama's budget for a vote. Obama's budget just more firmly puts the country on a path to a Greece style bankruptcy.
Obama's budget actually reduces the deficit over the next 4 years. It's just that a tax hike on already super rich (who've seen their incomes skyrocket while the rest of us stay stagnet) will never pass with Republican obstruction.We've got the tea baggers who hate Obama because he wants to raise the capital gains tax from 15% to 20%. In the next sentence, the tea baggers say things like "Where's Reagan when we need him". Yet Reagan raised capital gains from 20% to 28% in 1986.The tea baggers are the ones responsible for our continued deficits.
Yes, but the fact that there may be an equal credit for NGV carsmakes me wonder if Obama might actually make a push forNGV's. I've been thinking he was just giving lip service at the Stateof the Union for votes from states benefiting from nat gas. Andif he gets elected again, he can forget all about it and go backto concentrating on batteries and solar panels.

What factors indicate that a project's solution should not be coded in a dynamic language?
closed as not constructive by Flexo♦, George Stocker♦ Sep 21 '12 at 15:27
As it currently stands, this question is not a good fit for our Q&A format. We expect answers to be supported by facts, references, or expertise, but this question will likely solicit debate, arguments, polling, or extended discussion. If you feel that this question can be improved and possibly reopened, visit the help center for guidance.If this question can be reworded to fit the rules in the help center, please edit the question.
Speed is typically the primary answer. Though this is becoming less of an issue these days.
Familiarity and willingness of the programmers to work with the language.
Your dynamic language is probably my static language.
System level development is a key group of software that typically shouldn't be in dynamic languages. (drivers, kernel level stuff, etc).
Basically anything that needs to have every ounce of performance or low level hardware access, should be in a lower level language.
Another indicator is if it is highly number crunching, like scientific data number crunching. That is, if it needs to run fast and do number crunching.
I think a common theme is processor intensive problems... in which case you will easily see the performance differences, and you will find that the dynamic language just can't give you the power to use the hardware effectively.
That said, if you are doing processor intensive work and you don't mind the hit in performance, then you could still potentially use a dynamic language.
Note that for number crunching, I mean really long running number crunching in scientific arena where the process is running for hours or days... in this case a 2x performance gain is GINORMOUS... if it is on a much smaller scale, then dynamic languages could still be of use.
To a large degree, programming language is a style choice. Use the language you want to use and you'll be maximally productive and happy. If for some reason that's not possible, then hopefully your ultimate decision will be based on something meaningful, like a platform you have to run against or real, empirical performance numbers, rather than someone else's arbitrary style choice.
Video card device drivers
when speed is crucial. Dynamic languages are getting faster, but still not close to the performance of what a compiled language is.
Interop is absolutely possible with dynamic languages. (remember classic visual basic, which has "lazy binding"?) It requires the COM component to be compiled with some extras though for helping their callers to call by name.
I don't think that number crunching has to be statically compiled, most often it is a matter of how you solve. Matlab is a good example made for number crunching, and it has a non-compiled language. Matlab, however, has a very specific runtime for numbers and matrices.
I believe you should always opt for statically-typed language where possible. I'm not saying C# or Java have good static systems but C# is getting close. Good type inference is the key because it will give you benefits seen in dynamic languages while still giving you security and features of statically-typed ones. Problem solved - no more flamewars.
System level code for embedded systems. A possible problem is that dynamic languages sometimes hide the performance implications of a single easy looking statement.
Like say this Perl statement:
If FILE is a few megabytes, then that is one resource-consuming statement - you might exhaust your heap, or cause a watchdog timeout, or generally slow down the response of the embedded system.
If you want to "program closer to the metal", you probably want to be using a statically typed and "middle level" language.
How about interop? Is it possible to call a COM component from Ruby or Python?

The Farm: Rustic Recipes for a Year of Incredible Foodby Ian Knauer
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
When Ian Knauer was a cook in the Gourmet test kitchen, he quickly became known for recipes so stupendously good that they turned the heads of the countryand#8217;s top food editorsand#8212;effortless combinations that made the best of seasonal produce or treats from the Pennsylvania farm that has been in his family since the eighteenth century.
In The Farm, Knauer brings his creations to your kitchen. From Cold-Spring-Night Asparagus Soup to Brick Chicken with Corn and Basil Salad, the 150 recipes in this book will help you make the most of your market, garden, or CSA. They are fresh, modern spins on American classics, with ingredients anyone can obtain. Each one is simple, distinctive, and satisfying, getting the best food to the table in the least amount of time. They are both homey and sophisticated.
Youand#8217;ll find recipes that incorporate all parts of the vegetable, like Pasta with Radishes and Blue Cheese, which incorporates the radish leaves as well as the root, and spritely Swiss Chard Salad. Youand#8217;ll learn how to make great food from simple ingredients you have on hand, like Potato Nachos. Youand#8217;ll discover recipes for less-familiar produce from your market or your backyard, such as Chicken with Garlic Scape Pesto and Dandelion Green Salad with Hot Bacon Dressing.
Many of these recipes have been in Knauerand#8217;s family for generations, like Pennsylvania Dutch-Style Green Beans or Cloud Biscuits. You wonand#8217;t want to miss his expertly tweaked renditions of his mother and grandmotherand#8217;s desserts: Strawberry Cream Cheese Pie, Blueberry Belle Crunch, and Maryand#8217;s Lemon Sponge Pie.
Whether you want to learn how to roast a pig, make your own hot sauce, or brew hard cider, The Farm brings artisanal cooking home, even as Knauerand#8217;s vivid stories trace a year in the seasons of the farm.
One hundred and fifty recipes revolving around the author's life onand#160;the family farm.
"When Ian was one of Gourmet's cooks, he was unique. He'd show up with the honey from his own hives, an animal he'd hunted, some exotic herb he'd foraged in the field and then weave it all into a dish that was both wonderful and completely personal. He was wedded to the land in a way that seemed both deep and nurturing, and I used to sneak into the kitchen to listen to his tales from the farm. A whole book of Ian recipes—and stories to boot? Pure heaven." —Ruth Reichl
"The Farm perfectly illustrates how cooking from the garden inspires the menu and excites our appetite. Not only will you want to cook these recipes, you'll want to buy a farm, or at least start a garden!" — Deborah Madison, author of Local Flavors and Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone
"This guy can really write and he can really cook; he does both well enough to make you want to share it all with him. You need to own this book." — John Willoughby, America's Test Kitchen
During the week, Ian Knauer leads the life of a New York food writer, developing recipes for the Food Network and writing articles for magazines like Bon Appétit and Mens Health. But on weekends, he repairs to the farm in rural Pennsylvania that his family has owned for generations, where he tends a huge garden, raises chickens, keeps bees, forages, hunts, and most importantly, creates deliciously easy meals for friends and family from the fruits of his labor.
From Spaghetti with Arugula Carbonara to Chicken with Garlic Scape Pesto, the 150 recipes of The Farm inspire cooks to make the most of their market, garden, or CSA. Knauer is inventive and thrifty, wasting nothing: after spreading radishes with bacon butter for a spring hors doeuvre, he puts the tops in Pasta with Blue Cheese and Radish Greens. In other recipes, he teaches the craft of small-batch canning, from Tomato Jam to Peaches in Honey Syrup. Knauer also expertly tweaks the recipes of his Pennsylvania Dutch mother and grandmother in homey but spectacular-tasting desserts like Strawberry Sour Cream Ice Cream and Blueberry Belle Crunch.
Whether its Spinach and Walnut Lasagna or Cowboy Steaks with Guinness Sauce, this is weekday and weekend cooking at its best.

Hi all -Ā
Have been watching and occ posting to this group for a while. ĀLearned lots!
I am Af Am and my nearly-3 year old daughter is Af Am/Latino with hair that ranges from slightly wavy to spiral curls (Type 2-3 with minimal frizz). ĀWhen she was less than a year old, she lost much of her hair in back and as it regrew, the hair came in thicker and more curly (Type 3) than the rest of her hair. ĀHumidity makes the curl pattern more defined. Ā
I would attach a couple pix, but don't see how! Ā
We use the Curls line mostly. ĀHave tried others, but keep going back to Curls. ĀWash every 3-5 days, depending on various factors, braid hair for overnites, apply water with moisturizer and a bit of oil for comb outs each day.
Overall, her hair is growing and healthy. ĀI think its growing slowly compared to some other kids I see (various ethnicities), but definetely growing.
My (Mexican) nanny asked recently if I have ever cut my daughter's hair. ĀIn Mexican culture (and many others), hair cuts are thought to make hair grow faster. ĀI told the nanny that in Af Am culture, its rare to cut your girl kids' hair vs Caucasians that often cut their girl kids' hair without a 2nd thought. Ā
I guess Af Am families will cut a "bang" for their girl kids, but true hair cuts are not common! ĀWe are always so concerned about length!!!
This question got me wondering about hair cuts/trimming ends and curly haired/biracial kids. ĀWhat do you all do? ĀIs there a recommended time to introduce trimming ends for hair health in general?

"Experience Electric" Campaign Aims to Spark Electric Vehicle Adoption
May 13, 2014, 9:01 p.m. EDT
"Experience Electric" Campaign Aims to Spark Electric Vehicle Adoption
New Initiative Puts Bay Area Residents in Electric Vehicle Driver Seat
SAN FRANCISCO, May 13, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC), the Bay Area Air Quality Management District and a consortium of electric vehicle organizations today launched a new electric vehicle awareness campaign: "Experience Electric — The Better Ride." The regional initiative is designed to spur electric vehicle adoption by offering thousands of free test drives at dozens of public venues and workplaces throughout the nine-county Bay Area.
Beginning with the first public test drive on Saturday, May 17 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Marina Green in San Francisco and continuing for the next several months, the Experience Electric campaign will feature the latest electric vehicles (EVs) from a variety of manufacturers, including Tesla, BMW, FIAT, Ford, General Motors, KIA Motors and Nissan. The campaign's goal is to accelerate EV adoption through purchase, leasing and car-sharing programs.
"Increasing the use of EVs is a great way to help the Bay Area improve air quality and meet its state targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions," said Orinda City Councilmember and MTC Chair Amy Rein Worth. "It's one thing to say that drivers can fuel an EV for only about 20 percent of the cost of a gasoline-powered car, or that EVs can cut the typical driver's operating and maintenance costs by $1,200 a year. But these are just numbers until people experience for themselves how much fun to drive these cars are. Add in other benefits like access to freeway carpool lanes, and when you put it all together, EVs really are the coolest option on the road today."
"There are more all-electric vehicles in the Bay Area than any other region in the state," added Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates, who also serves as an MTC Commissioner and Air District Director, and co-chairs the Bay Area EV Strategic Council. "The Bay Area accounts for about 20 percent of California's population but 40 percent of the state's EVs. We want to build on this leadership and make the Bay Area the EV capital of the nation. The way to do it is to get drivers to actually experience an EV in a fun, zero-pressure setting."
Noting that the Bay Area EV Strategic Council aims to boost the number of EVs in the region to 100,000 or more, Bates said, "We're confident consumers will go electric when they actually try the vehicles and hear from friends who have tried them. EVs offer a fabulously smooth ride and are wonderfully quiet – in addition to the terrific fuel savings and environmental benefits."
On the California power grid, EVs are more than 75 percent cleaner than the average gasoline-powered vehicle after counting emissions from power plants. For drivers who have solar-generated power at home or other "green" power options, driving an EV can be nearly carbon-free.
MTC, in partnership with the Air District, led the development of the Experience Electric strategy in collaboration with the Bay Area EV Strategic Council. MTC then selected the California Center for Sustainable Energy, Plug In America and Charge Across Town to conduct the year-long media and consumer campaign, which aims to make extensive use of social media and word-of-mouth marketing as well as traditional advertising and media relations.
In addition to the May 17 event in San Francisco, the Experience Electric campaign will conduct similar ride-and-drive opportunities throughout the Bay Area.
MTC is the transportation planning, coordinating and financing agency for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, and operates the region's 511 traveler information system. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District is the regional agency chartered with protecting air quality in the Bay Area.
The Bay Area EV Strategic Council is an executive forum created to establish the Bay Area as the EV Capital of the nation and to promote the mass adoption of EVs. The California Center for Sustainable Energy (CCSE) is an independent nonprofit organization that accelerates the transition to a sustainable world powered by clean energy. CCSE helps consumers, businesses, governments and others adopt energy efficiency, renewable energy and clean transportation technologies.
Plug In America is the leading voice in the United States promoting consumer adoption of EVs. The San Francisco-based nonprofit promotes policy at the local, state and federal levels, provides a range of expert assistance related to the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, and conducts leading-edge consumer outreach and awareness — through individual events and aggressive use of online campaigns — to connect prospective drivers to new electric vehicles now available.
San Francisco-based Charge Across Town works in collaboration with Bay Area city governments, local businesses and the EV community to connect people to electric transportation, promote the adoption of EVs and e-mobility solutions, and help reduce carbon emissions in California.
Note to editors: Reporters and editors interested in learning more about EVs are encouraged to visit www.energycenter.org/ExperienceElectric . Media and consumers alike are invited to join the conversation online, and to get real-time updates about ride-and-drive events in their communities by visiting the Experience Electric campaign's Facebook page at www.facebook.com/TheBetterRide or by visiting the campaign's Twitter or Instagram accounts.

Bike Sharing Program Plans to Roll Into The East Bay
A Bay Area bike share program that began last summer in San Jose and San Francisco is planning its first expansion into the East Bay communities of Oakland, Berkeley and Emeryville. The debut could be as early as late 2015 for the bright blue bicycles, which can be checked out for free rides of up to 30 minutes at a time. To start the East Bay bike service, commission planners recommend adding 60 bike stations and 750 bikes in some 8.5 square miles of the three cities. View the Full Article.

City of Berkeley Advances Citywide LED Streetlight Upgrade with Support from BACC
The City of Berkeley progresses on a streetlight retrofit project with support from the Bay Area Climate Collaborative's Next Generation Streetlight Initiative and the California Lighting and Technology Center at the University of California, Davis. Converting all streetlights citywide will result in significant reductions in Berkeley's greenhouse gas emissions.
SAN JOSE, C.A., April 2, 2014 – Yesterday Berkeley's city council approved a contract to convert approximately 8,000 city streetlights to LED by the end of 2014. Streetlights currently account for approximately 1,000 metric tons of CO2 output annually or about 13% of the city's total emissions. An LED conversion is projected to cut emissions from streetlights by half, and will directly support Berkeley's ambitious Climate Action Plan goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions locally by 33% between the years 2000 and 2020 and 80% by 2050.
With the energy savings achieved by from streetlight conversions, Berkeley is expected to save nearly $400,000 annually, in addition to PG&E rebates estimated at a total of $650,000. San Francisco-based Tanko Lighting was selected as the winning vendor for the project valued at $2,921,064. The city will use a $3 million 1% interest energy efficiency loan from the California Energy Commission to fund the project, which will be paid back over 10 years through the savings generated from installing LED streetlights from vendors including Leotek, Sensity, Holophane and others.
According to Phillip Harrington, Berkeley's Deputy Public Works Director, "Upgrading to more energy efficient lights moves us closer to achieving our ambitious sustainability goals and helps us to continue reducing City government's day-to-day costs and to improve our overall operational efficiency. We would like to thank the Bay Area Climate Collaborative, California Energy Commission and the California Lighting and Technology Center for their support in getting this project to design and construction."
The Bay Area Climate Collaborative (BACC) and the California Lighting Technology Center supported the City of Berkeley's streetlight conversion through BACC's Next Generation Streetlight Initiative and with support from the California Energy Commission's Public Interest Energy Research (PIER) program. Activities included cost-benefit analyses, technical assistance, specification development, and guidance on best practices for street lighting.
Rafael Reyes, Executive Director of the BACC stated, "LED streetlight upgrades presents an opportunity for cities to realize significant emissions, energy and cost savings while providing improved lighting. These upgrades provide a major advance for achieving emissions reduction goals. Cities across the Bay Area and elsewhere in the country are switching over to LED streetlights to take advantage of the many benefits from this technology."
About the Bay Area Climate Collaborative

Backyard Brew
Some beverages are better-suited for consuming in a laid-back backyard setting — you're not exactly going to pull out your nitrogen canister to mix up some molecular cocktails (not even the mightiest master mixologist wants to deal with that at home). Beer, on the other hand, perfectly fits the bill. And it tastes even better when it's paired with a bit of barbecue. Crack open a cold one this Saturday at America's Backyard. Along with Gold Coast Beverage Distributors, the spot is celebrating all things barbecue and brew. From 1 to 5 p.m., the downtown Fort Lauderdale bar is hosting American Brewfest. The event features Revolution Barbecue, food trucks, giveaways, and unlimited samples of beer from more than 25 breweries. Live music is also included.

The room was terrible, for a 3-4 star hotel I was, to say disappointed would be an understatement. The beds were so uncomfortable I did not sleep. The wall paper was peeling off the wall and the room was just not that of upcale hotel.
very hard mattress!
Location, cleanliness, friendliness of staff, comfort of room.
Nothing - everything was great. Maybe a bit high for one night but otherwise great!
Great hotel, well kept, staff helpful
clean and quiet.
The sign on the street needs to be larger.
pleasant staff
The breakfast was better than most of these places.
When I went to room, an employee was in it and another quickly told him the room had been assigned. I felt they had other plans for the room. I asked for a 7:00 am wake-up call. It was totally ignored. the sink drain leaked all over the bathroom floor. the shower faucet leaked loudly all night.
pretty much everything see what I didn't like nice place would stay again if I needed somewhere to stay
when we went down for breakfast there was a spill on the floor that needed to be cleaned and the table was not clean and it did not get cleaned before we left but other than that everything was great
Anything you may have wanted or needed was VERY close to this location. The AC worked VERY well. I happen to like a cold room and I was happy. Staff was very pleasant. It was apparent that there were recent remodels done. Very tasteful.
It could be difficult getting out of driveway due to traffic and proximity to traffic light. Bathrooms too small. There were complaints of the train that runs behind the hotel. I did hear one train every night just before going to sleep but that was it
Receptionist was polite and professional. The room and the beds were clean. The breakfast was also bountiful.
We arrived after 8 pm and the room had not been air conditioned all day. However, after about two hours, the room temperature was livable one again.
Should be labeled a Motel not hotel since it is outside entrances to rooms
Fridge and coffee for 2.
Hear everything outside and in next rooms.
room was comfortable and kitchenette was adequate
TV was burned out. Caught fire when I turned it on
Breakfast was real good. The help from the front desk was great.
The hotel has too many dogs in it. The queen bed, if they were queen beds we're small.
Breakfast buffet w omelet station. Friendliness of staff
Ran out of hot water
Good location and the owner was always present and readily accommodated a special request. Breakfast was also great.
Fastest internet we've ever had. Clean rooms. Friendly staff.
Take a room away from front desk. Really really thin doors. Front desk's phone or other coming guests woke us up constantly at night. Earplugs a must. Would stay again, though.
Here's why:
We're not the seller
At KAYAK we don't set prices, so it's not possible for us to guarantee what other companies are selling.
We aggregate tons of data for you
Our service lets you quickly and easily compare results from hundreds of travel sites at once. In this sense, KAYAK is a search engine and we don't guarantee prices we find.
Why aren't prices accurate 100% of the time?
Prices on airline seats, hotel rooms and car rentals can change frequently. Several people may also be trying to buy the same travel option simultaneously. As a result, you may find on occasion that certain prices are no longer available.

Strong Export Sales Announced This Morning
Export sales helped lift soybeans last week and strong sales announced this morning could have a positive impact on prices when the market opens at 8:30 AM CST.
In the overnight session the grains were mixed with corn up 3/4 of a cent, soybeans down 5 1/4 cents and wheat up 6 1/2 cents this morning. The U.S. dollar is trading a fraction of a percent higher and crude oil is down 86 cents this morning. Last Friday, the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, Janet Yellen, announced that a rate hike will most likely come at the end of the year.
This morning the USDA announced that 1,000,000 metric tons of soybeans was sold to China for 16/17 delivery and 249,000 metric tons of soybeans to unknown destinations for this marketing year. Last week soybeans rallied 15 cents on strong export sales and will most likely react positively to the news of additional sales this morning. In the weekly commitment of traders report released on Friday, non-commercial traders increased their net short positions in corn and soybeans but trimmed their short position in wheat.
This week's weather looks to be drier throughout the Midwest which will help speed along harvest. However, the plains look to receive precipitation in the second half of this week. The extended forecast shows that it will be wetter than normal in North Dakota down through Nebraska and including Iowa and Minnesota in the 6-10 day forecast with temperatures remaining mostly average for this time of the year.

editor's review

Many users who are interested in obtaining the optimal performance/consumption ratio for their systems seek to find some useful and safe tweaking utilities that can help them in achieving their goals. One of the components that are most prone to fine-tuning is the processor and, for this reason, many specialized tools have been created.
Among these programs you could come across PhenomMsrTweaker, especially if your PC is equipped with a certain type of AMD central processing unit. To be more precise, this software solution is addressed only to those who have inside their computer an AMD K10 processor, like those from the Phenom or Phenom II family.
PhenomMsrTweaker aims to make the Cool & Quite feature of these CPUs work more in the favor of the user. With this utility you will be able to turn up the performance or save some energy by reducing the power consumption of the processor.
Through a simple and easy to use interface you gain access to all the features of the application and configure the performance states. If the P0 state is reserved for high performance, the others, 1 through 4, are power saving specific and for each of them you can adjust the same parameters.
For each central processing unit you can set with PhenomMsrTweaker the desired multiplicator core value, Vcore or CPU VID and Northbridge voltage or NB VID. On the lower part of the main window you have a drop-down menu with the available power schemes that can be applied, so you can choose among 'Balanced', 'Power Saver' and 'High Performance'.
Overall, PhenomMsrTweaker can prove to be a really useful tool and allow users to step up the performance of their CPU and, consequently, that of the whole system or simply reduce the power consumption by safely decreasing the processor voltage.
