The claims have led one tabloid to brand Jenner a "deadbeat daughter."
Delevingne regrammed the photo a few hours after Jenner, writing, "LOVE at first sight."
When Hudson became sick, the Jenner girls came to visit regularly.
When Spencer reminds Jenner that he's "turning 24, player," Jenner suggests postponing the nuptials until he's 35.
Jenner's soon-to-be brother-in-law, Kanye West, beamed with pride as he watched from the front row.
Mr. Jenner, would it be permissible to read this letter into the record?
I find that Jenner's discovery of vaccination was made public in June, 1798.
This resignation was destined to bring about a constitutional difficulty which recalled the trying days of the Jenner incident.
She had made enquiry of Jenner as she came in, so as to satisfy herself.
He did not live to see the great improvement by vaccination, introduced by Jenner.
Jenner Jen·ner (jěn'ər), Edward. 1749-1823.
British physician and vaccination pioneer who found that smallpox could be prevented by inoculation with the substance from cowpox lesions.
British physician who pioneered the practice of vaccination. His experiments proved that individuals who had been inoculated with the virus that caused cowpox, a mild skin disease of cattle, became immune to smallpox. Jenner's discovery laid the foundations for the science of immunology.
Our Living Language : In 1980 the World Health Organization declared that the deadly disease smallpox had been eradicated, an accomplishment attributed to the success of the smallpox vaccine. The vaccine had been developed almost 200 years earlier by the British physician Edward Jenner, who had based his work on a piece of folk wisdom from the countryside that few doctors had taken seriously: people who caught cowpox, a mild viral infection of cattle, never got smallpox. In 1796 Jenner proved the truth of this scientifically in a famous experiment he conducted on an eight-year-old boy named James Phipps. Jenner exposed Phipps to a person with cowpox, then two months later exposed him to smallpox (this would be considered unethical by today's standards). As Jenner expected, the boy warded off the smallpox without any complications. Prior to this, there existed a form of vaccination against smallpox that consisted of exposing people to a mild form of the disease. Although this method often worked, it was risky, and the exposed person sometimes died. Jenner, who devised the word vaccination from the Latin vacca, for "cow," is considered to be the father of immunology. He also did significant research on heart disease.

This is the wooden block set that forms a 4' tower that players must disassemble one piece at a time without toppling the whole stack. Available only from Hammacher Schlemmer, the game has 54 solid wooden pieces—about 3X larger than those used with common building block games—that start as a dense, gapless structure 2 1/4' high and can rise up to 4 1/2' into the air. Players take turns carefully removing a block while leaving the structure intact, weakening the architecture so it finally crumbles with their opponent's next move. The timeless, battery-free game is perfect for rainy days inside or outdoor fun at picnics or camping trips. Comes with a durable canvas shoulder bag for easy portability. Ages 14 and up. Box: 14 1/2" H x 18 1/2" W x 9 1/2" L. (38 lbs.)

Idris Elba expecting a baby with girlfriend
Ladies, it's official. Pour out some liquor, or at least a glass of prosecco. The Daily Mail is reporting that Idris Elba is officially off the market and expecting a baby with girlfriend Naiyana Garth.
The 41-year-old actor was pictured getting cozy with the pregnant Naiyana at this week's Harper's Bazaar Women of the Year awards at Claridge's Hotel in London. And while this is the first time we've seen this pair out in public, they've apparently been a couple for the better part of 2013.
A told The Sun: 'They've been together for a few months but it's really ramped up recently. They get on brilliantly and she's a real hit with his family and friends.
'Idris is known as a ladies' man but he's really not at all. He'd rather have banter at the bar than spend all night grafting on women. Although he doesn't have to try anyway, women flock to him.'

Doug wrote recently on using Google Translate to localize applications, giving step by step instructions on how to get translations automated from their online API.
Rick Strahl had also posted about this earlier in November with ways to do this without needing the API.
So we know it's possible - the question is : should you use it?
Automated translations have come a long way from years ago when you had to use either specialized CDs or babel fish.
Still, the big challenge with localizing internally is ensuring your translations are accurate for its audience. Like Doug, I live in Canada where most government software must support our two official languages: English and French. Sounds easy, right? After all, both languages have been around for centuries - translation must be pretty straight forward. Not so much.
Many moons ago, I worked for a company was delivering the same basic software to two separate government departments. The software needed translations for several terms, one of which was the word "Browse". We asked around, went to the official translation group within each department, and received.... four different translations, all of which could be used, but only one of which would make a different person happy.
Also, consider how the terms are used. On a standard menu, we have File, Edit, Cut, Copy and Paste. A few interface guideline books I've read suggest that menu items should be treated as verbs but in the imperative sense, as though you are telling the computer to do something. Hey computer, "Save"! "Copy!", "Quit!" It makes sense.
However, when translated to French, if I used the imperative, you might see terms like Sauvegardez! Copier! Quittez! (a sample of using imperatives can be seen here). Using Babel Fish, Cut becomes Coupe ( as in "he cut the tape"). Google suggests Couper. But for the word Save, Google offers Enregistrer, whereas French software typically uses Sauvegarder.
But, according to translators, in French, you rely on the standard verb. So the terms should appear as "Sauvegarder", "Copier", "Quitter". I'm not sure what the practice is in Germany or China or Mexico, but the problem likely recurs there.
Heck, in 1995, when I was in Paris, while Canadian french software used the word "Aide" for Help, French applications there were simply using the ? to indicate the Help menu.
This hasn't changed over time. I'm currently involved in a project where once again, one term comes up with at least 2 or three different possible valid translations.
What's the right answer? If you rely on Google Translate too much, you'll find you run the risk of being Ford offering the "Pinto" in South America, or the LaCrosse in Quebec. Your best bet is to find someone who speaks the language natively to ensure your translations make sense.
Of course, then you might find two people to help to do the translation and STILL end up with 5 possible translations for a single simple word.
It's great that a company like Google (and Yahoo) offer translation sites we can all use. Thanks to the posts from Doug and Rick, FoxPro developers can easily take advantage of it through code. The Google translation API looks like it's making headway especially for menu style terms. But be sure to run it by some native speakers before releasing - it may save some embarrassment later on.
I wonder if it would have been easier on that guy in the Geico ad if he had simply looked up the guinea pig term for "row".

But should you use Google Translate for Your Software?

Hi Andrew.
Agreed. I look at Google Translate as a starting point, not the final solution.

I'm pretty sure the South American car name problem was the Chevy Nova, since "no va" is at least bad Spanish for "don't go."
- December 13, 2011 at 4:21 PM
- Andrew MacNeill said...
Actually, if you read the link in the post, the Nova joke for Chevy was a hoax or at least, not a true representation of the problem.
I was surprised as well - which is why I googled for the various ones. I thought the Quebec LaCrosse one was hilarious!
I had heard about a problem with the Pinto though.

A Great Idea
By Kiawe
from Wickenburg, AZ
This is a wonderful product for touch typists like me who have a hard time with "virtual" keyboards. It paired easily with my iPad, and it works perfectly, even though I have large hands. The only complaint I have concerns the way it's packaged. It is not enclosed in a protective plastic bag, and there were little scars on the outside of the case from rubbing on the box during transport. But that is minor, this product is extremely well made and useful.

Bad Quality
By mialawyer
from Miami, FL
I used this case for about a week and it began to fade at the edges just from putting it in and pulling it out of my briefcase. It's made of a cheap plastic (in my opinion) so it seems the paint is wearing off. Keyboard has delay issues in connecting by Bluetooth as well. Needless to say I returned it for a refund. P.S. If the system would let me give it zero stars I would, but the lowest rating I could give was one star.

Katy Perry made a New Year resolution to quit searching for stories about herself on the internet after she read about Russell Brand's planned marriage proposal before he'd popped the question.
The "I Kissed a Girl" hitmaker Katy Perry revealed last year that funnyman Russell Brand's proposal in 2009 came as no surprise as she'd received a Google alert about it weeks before.
She made a vow at the start of this year to stop reading about herself online - and she's adamant the decision has made her life "much better".
Katy Perry tells The Sunday Times Magazine, "I'm four months Google-free. I don't Google myself any more. That was my New Year's resolution. I don't read papers. I don't even look at reviews. I have a good team around me so if anything pops up that's really good or bad I'll know about it. Generally I feel much better being able to live my life like a normal person and not read yesterday's news."
The decision means the Perry household now has little use for an internet connection - she revealed last year that Brand had already stopped Googling himself.

Indians hold first off day of spring training
(GOODYEAR, Ariz.) – The Cleveland Indians enjoyed their only off day of spring training on Thursday.
Pitchers and catchers reported to camp on Feb. 11 and since then it's been continuous preparations for the 2014 season. After Thursday, the Tribe will not get another day off until March 30, the day before they open up the 2014 season in Oakland against the Athletics for a three-game series.
So far this spring the Indians have played well posting a record of 15-5-2 in Cactus League exhibition play.
Despite the off day on Thursday, new Tribe closer John Axford pitched one inning in a minor league game at the club's player development complex, while Trevor Bauer pitched in a Triple-A contest in Phoenix against the A's. Ryan Raburn also appeared in the minor league game at the complex as he's recovering from a knee injury.
The Indians continue their Cactus League exhibition schedule on Friday in Scottsdale when they visit the Colorado Rockies.

ExpressLanes on Freeways
Metro introduced ExpressLanes, or pay lanes, on the 110 Freeway in November 2012 and on the 10 Freeway in February 2013 as a one-year demonstration project. A vote today could make them permanent.
To ride the lanes:
• FasTrak transponder required. Go to Costco, Albertsons or AAA for a discount, or visit metroexpresslanes.net. Credit or debit: must deposit $40 for first four transponders. Cash or check: $50.
• Tolls are based on congestion levels; higher when more traffic, lower when traffic is lighter. Tolls range from $0.25 per mile and $1.40 per mile.
• Entry points marked by signs
• 10 Freeway: between 605 and Alameda Street exit
• 110 Freeway: between Harbor Gateway Transit Center and Adams Boulevard
• Those earning less than $37,000 annual household income for family of 3 receive a reduced rate of $25
• Car pools (2 on 110, 3 on 10) do not get charged (still need a transponder).
• White-sticker (compressed natural gas) and green-sticker (electric, extended range electric) cars ride free starting Feb. 24 (still need transponder).
• Metro ExpressLanes Customer Service Center: 877-224-6511
Steve Scauzillo source: Metro
The state Senate and Los Angeles County's transportation agency are working together to make permanent car-pool lanes turned into toll lanes on two busy freeways, as well as open the door for more toll lane projects, according to transit officials.
A report from the Federal Highway Administration found the year-old ExpressLanes on the 10 and 110 freeways "are accomplishing their goals and objectives." The report is accompanied by a staff recommendation from the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority to turn the federal pilot project into the county's first permanent toll lanes.
The Metro board will vote on the proposal at the regular meeting Thursday, which starts at 9:30 a.m. Also on the agenda is a plan to reinstate a $1 a month maintenance fee to participate in the ExpressLanes program.
"Overall, (the program) is positive. It merits continuation," said John Fasana, Metro board member representing 31 San Gabriel Valley cities. While Fasana said he will be voting "yes," he said fellow board member and Supervisor Mike Antonovich may have reservations. Antonovich did not return phone calls Wednesday.
In tandem with a positive vote of the board, Metro is sponsoring legislation by state Sen. Ed Hernandez, D-West Covina, to make the two ExpressLanes permanent and allow more applications for additional high-occupancy vehicle toll lanes to the California Transportation Commission.
Adding pay lanes on the 10 Freeway in San Bernardino County and changing the car-pool lanes on the 405 Freeway to toll lanes — including those being built in the Sepulveda Pass — are two projects being considered by Metro and Caltrans, Fasana said.
"Yes, the 405 is something that would be looked at. I think it does have merit," Fasana said.
Fasana and the majority of the Metro board favor the ExpressLanes because they offer commuters a choice. A solo driver can pay to ride the car-pool lane and get to work or home faster, or stay in the general purpose lanes and ride for free.
Car-poolers can continue to ride the lanes and are not charged. A car pool on the 10 Freeway consists of three people, but two people on the 110.
After receiving a $210 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation, Metro and Caltrans installed ExpressLanes on an 11-mile span of the 110 in November 2012 stretching from the Harbor Gateway Transit Center (near the 91 Freeway) to Adams Boulevard. On Feb. 22, 2013, a 14-mile ExpressLanes project opened on the busy 10 Freeway between the 605 Freeway and Alameda Street exit in downtown Los Angeles.
Riders must deposit $40 in an account which gets deducted per ride. On the 10, an average toll cost about $5.50 one-way. Each driver must place a transponder, a computer box, on the car's dashboard. Overhead signals read the transponder, which is set to 1, 2 or 3+ depending on the number of riders. Violators are sent tickets in the mail or pulled over by CHP and handed tickets.
From November 2012 to November 2013, Metro collected $34 million in revenues from the sale of 260,000 transponders. The money can be used to pay for improvements in those areas, possibly including money for a Gold Line Eastside extension from Montebello to either Industry or Whittier.
The concept, known as congestion pricing, represents one way to make better use of under-used car-pool lanes and also moves commuters out of their cars and into a bus, van pool or train, which cuts down on air pollution, said Stephanie Wiggins, Metro's executive director of vendor contract management.
The FHWA reported a 27 percent increase in monthly boardings on the Silver Line bus, a fairly new commuter service provided by Metro, and another 15 percent increase after tolls were implemented on both freeway car-pool lanes. Ridership of Foothill Transit's Silverstreak from the Inland Empire to downtown Los Angeles on the 10 ExpressLanes increased by 59 percent in the morning rush hour, the report said.
"Congestion pricing is a multimodal approach. The benefits to the commuter are larger when they are bundled or integrated," Wiggins said.
The report's analysis of freeway speeds is not as dramatic. On the 10 Freeway, a commute on the ExpressLanes improved by 2 minutes on average — not a big number. On the 110, commuters took longer on the ExpressLanes, according to the FHWA report.
Wiggins said the significant improvements are buried in the report. When one looks at 10 Freeway commuters who switched from general purpose lanes to the pay lanes, their average travel time savings were 17.11 minutes and 13.86 minutes in the morning and afternoon peak times, respectively.
Fasana said there's not enough data to determine whether those riding in the general purpose lanes fared any better. In other words, if more drivers moved to the ExpressLanes, shouldn't that unclog the other lanes?
"With the general purpose lanes, that is a part that needs more study," he said.
Also, Wiggins said improvements in the 110 ExpressLanes' traffic flow were less because when these were car-pool lanes, twice as many drivers used them in comparison to the 10 car-pool lanes. That made for less room for improvement of travel times and speeds on the 110, she said.
The Natural Resources Defense Council, a national environmental group, the San Gabriel Valley Council of Governments and the Los Angeles County Business Federation are supportive of these and additional pay lanes in L.A. County. BizFed asked members to send letters of support to Metro's board.
"This is one program that shows that it has been good at getting people to work faster," said Hilary Norton, co-chair of the BizFed Transportation Committee and executive director of Fixing Angelenos Stuck in Traffic (FAST).
She'd like to see a 405 ExpressLane project so the revenue could be used to add buses or other mass transit options to the San Fernando Valley-Westside corridor.

This year we are posting to our website various New Summer Greetings and communications for our friends and customers.
A Father's Day letter below
A Brochure of Suggested Icons, books, CDs and Gifts for the Summer Season
A Summer Special FREE ICON Offer
Donation Appeal - Spring 2010
Our Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
As Summer blooms around us this year we remember and honor our fathers on this Father's Day and continue to explore this relationship in practical ways that we can. Often in the busyness of youth and young adulthood we can forget that our parents have many touching stories to tell of their own childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, and more mature years that we don't know and later could regret not knowing. They are a living bridge to our grandparents and beyond, back into our heritage and national past and belief. In this discovery we can learn things that enrich our lives today, and especially give us both interest and discovery of the richness of our own parents' lives of joys and sorrows. This discovery begets sympathy and understanding that can only be shared in knowing more of the often surprising corners of their lives.
It is never too late to learn more, even for those whose parents have gone on before them. Asking relatives and their friends, discovering their old picture albums, learning more about their geneology and what they did, and finding articles or letters that illumine them as people—all these can be most interesting to open now parts of their lives that we weren't there to see, and this can be found out back through generations. As we grow in our own life, we can see with greater clarity and sympathy the similarities of struggle and joys of each generation.
Let us also say those words of love out loud while have the privilege of having our fathers (and mothers) with us, and show them that we care and appreciate the good things that they have done, and that we forgive whatever may have been less than perfect. We too are sinners who have and will make constant mistakes ourselves, and we seek forgiveness too. Let us freely admit when we could have done better in this ongoing relationship. Words of forgiveness are strong and lasting, and free the heart in ways that can only be learned by practice. This is true for our fathers in the flesh, our fathers in function, and our fathers in the Church, for it is in the living out of our half of the relationship of son to father, or daughter to father, that we discover the spiritual meaning of Fatherhood which is our legacy in the Heavenly World to Come.
With love and respect, let us fulfill the Fifth Commandment given by God to Moses so long ago on Mount Sinai, "Honor your father and mother." Amen.

Patent - so you're saying that this role model of feminism is a glorified nanny? I thought that was his wife's job - & since she's a former teacher she is probably better suited.

Zuck does not have very good judgment, it is said, and apparently his wife is far more mature about things. Or so a few of his employees have told me.
However, I wish Sheryl Sandberg had been there decades ago to give me such a pep talk. Women were often beaten down by family, employers, even educators then. It is a far better time to be a woman now.

There is nothing new in Sandberg's message. The feminist leaders back in the 70s said the same thing, and many individual successful women wrote lots of books and made lots of public appearances to reiterate the message.
So the words/observations/advice is not new, but I appreciate Sandberg's re-statement -- even if it is a rather bland version.

I work as a receptionist in Stanford Hospitals. I would love to stay at home with my three kids. Just love it. I would like to take them to soccer, see them grow up, answer their questions, be with them all until they get to high school.
Sheryl thinks we all want to be like her. Most of us just want enough money to have a happy family life. Sheryl thinks we should be like her. Well I dont want to be like her. Facebook is corrupt. It takes the privacy of foolish people and sells it to advertisers. Sheryl was part of the IPO which ripped off more foolish people. Now she has a nanny she is making more money of foolish people thinking she knows about what women are not doing!

Britney Spears slams rumor that she's not singing on 'Scream & Shout'
Listen to Britney Spears on iHeartRadio
(Yahoo!) - Did Britney Spears really scream and shout on her new track with will.i.am?
On Wednesday night's "Watch What Happens Live" on Bravo, host Andy Cohen asked his guests Eve and English celeb chef Nigella Lawson their feelings about the pop star's British accent in her collaboration with the Black Eyed Peas' frontman.
"I heard that might not be Britney," the rapper-designer interjected, making a face.
As massive boos rained down on her from the audience, Eve playfully covered her face … and then her butt.
"That's what I heard, but you know, I don't know," she continued. "It could be Britney. But I heard it wasn't …"
Well, Eve heard wrong, according to Spears' rep.
"Completely not true," he tells omg!. "Britney absolutely sings on 'Scream & Shout.'"
Also on Thursday, the remix video for the song leaked online, two days ahead of schedule. The new clip now stars Diddy, Lil Wayne, Hit-Boy, and Wocka Flocka Flame, in addition to Spears and will.i.am.

Neuhofstraße 3a
04849 Bad Düben
Phone +49 (0)34243 72993
The Middle Elbe Valley and Düben Heath, together with the surrounding towns of Dessau, Wörlitz, Lutherstadt Wittenberg and Torgau, can look back over a long and fascinating history. Conservation has not always been a priority here, least of all during the age of industrialisation. Today, however, a range of initiatives are bringing sustainable experiences to this historical setting, preserving it for future generations.
Moments of history
500 years ago in Wittenberg, Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the door of the Castle Church, heralding the Reformation that took hold of, and transformed, the whole of Europe. The Age of Enlightenment is reflected in the accomplished symphony of nature, landscape design and architecture that you as a visitor will witness today in the Garden Kingdom of Dessau-Wörlitz. Also ahead of its time was the Bauhaus School, whose legacy is still widely preserved and respected to this day.
Amazing flora and fauna
Amidst these historical sites, nestled within the natural riverscape of the Elbe and the Mulde, lies Düben Heath Nature Park, home to the largest mixed forest in central Germany and to meadows, stream-covered lowlands, pretty little reservoirs and heathland villages. You might also spot cranes, white-tailed eagles and other rare birds here. The park's most famous inhabitant (and its logo), the beaver, was nearing extinction by the mid-20th century, with only a small number remaining. Thanks to strict conservation measures, however, the population is slowly recovering. Today, roughly 800 beavers live in the Düben Heath Nature Park and in the Middle Elbe Biosphere Reserve, which became part of the UNESCO-accredited Elbe Riverside Biosphere Reserve in 1997.
Health on the heath
Bad Schmiedeberg and Bad Düben have both enjoyed long traditions as spa resorts. For more than 100 years, orthopaedic, rheumatic and gynaecological conditions have been successfully treated here using the moor peat from Düben Heath.
The range of therapies also includes naturopathic treatments, fasting and Kneipp hydrotherapy. The Health Academy offers courses and workshops on naturopathy, herbal remedies and homoeopathy.
Breathing new life into endangered habitats
Open-cast lignite mines, closed in the late 1980s, left deep scars in the landscape. Today, however, Goitzsche country park near Bitterfeld is a model example of sustainable environmental restoration. The former mines here were flooded to create four lakes as part of a landscape design project. You can now stroll along the water's edge, past the marina and the beach, and on to Bitterfeld harbour.
Sail straight out of the water sports centre and into the wind or take a leisurely tour on a pedalo. Nordic Aktiv Park offers a selection of Nordic walking and rollerblading routes covering around 100 kilometres.

ONTARIO -- It's no secret: Airlines are still reducing their presence at L.A./Ontario International Airport. Fewer and fewer passengers are choosing to travel out of ONT.
It's the same depressing news that the Ontario International Airport Authority has been hearing for the past couple of months.
An updated report released Monday on ONT passenger traffic shows the airport will continue to see a steep decline and - if the trend continues - may handle fewer than 4 million annual passengers in 2013.
But the authority - made up of local officials working to facilitate the transfer the airport to local control - would prefer that members of the airport's governing board see the report for themselves.
"You would think at their meetings they would also be curious of the performance of the airport they govern. It just appears that it doesn't matter to them," said Alan Wapner, the president of the authority and an Ontario councilman.
At its meeting Monday, the authority asked to have Los Angeles World Airports' Board of Airport Commissioners attend a future meeting to discuss the report.
"What are (they) going to do to reverse this?" Wapner said, referring to a 37 percent decline in passenger traffic at ONT since 2007.
Ontario officials have long contended it could do a better job managing ONT, adding the LA agency has purposely driven down traffic the medium hub airport to the benefit of LAX.
Inland empire officials have been in engaged in negotiations with city Los Angeles for control of ONT.
Initially, the authority was considering addressing the commission at a future meeting in Los Angeles.
Gary Ovitt, the vice president of the authority, questioned why the L.A. governing board wouldn't come to the Inland Empire to discuss the matter.
Wapner said it has been years since the Board of Airport Commissioners held a meeting at ONT.
As to why they have not met at ONT, Wapner said he was told by Gina Marie Lindsey, the executive director of LAWA, that the board "was not lawfully allowed to come to Ontario because we are outside their jurisdiction. How that's out of their jurisdiction, if they are the governing board of the airport, I quite don't understand. "
Chris Hughes, the executive director of the OIAA, said the authority's attorney questioned LAWA's attorney on the issue and the latter said he never made a decision on the matter.
Nancy Castles, the public-relations director for LAWA said, "the Los Angeles Board of Airport Commissioners would consider any formal invitation from the Ontario International Airport Authority. "
At the authority's meeting, aviation expert Nick Johnson presented the board with a 23-page report on the airport's performance and economic outlook.
The report touched base on similar figures presented in February, except this document looked at the scheduled passenger activity at ONT through October.
"It's looking highly likely that a significant downturn in passenger activity is in the offering for this year," Johnson told the five-member commission.
Reversing that trend will come down to reducing operating costs for airlines at ONT, he said.
Airlines operate on what Johnson described as an "internally financed enterprise fund," meaning all the costs to operate at an airport are distributed among the available passengers and operations at the facility.
As the number of passengers is reduced, the cost per passenger goes up, Johnson said.
ONT has to get costs per passenger down in order to be competitive enough that carriers can expand their passenger activity, he added.
"That's the downward spiral cycle that you are stuck in right now. Until that cost equation changes, this is essentially difficult to break that trend." Johnson told the board.
Unless, he said, "you can change the trajectory of the spiral of passengers using the airport, to spread those costs across, you are somewhat stuck in this cycle. "
Based on the scheduled seats, airlines are deciding to downgrade the size of planes they operate out of the airport.
"You're seeing smaller airplanes being introduced into the market. As a result, it brings down the available seats," he said.
The switch to smaller, regional jets by airlines should be a cause for concern, Johnson said. That's because the operating cost of a regional jet, per passenger, is higher than when an airlines operate larger aircraft. As fuel prices go up, airlines will mostly likely pull those planes completely out of the market because they are not cost-effective, he said.
Projections based on the scheduled seats for airlines for the same month in 2012 show Delta and United Airlines have seen a decline of at least 20 percent in the first three months. The trend is expected to continue through October.
As for Southwest Airlines, the largest carrier out of ONT, the declines ranges from 2 percent to 5 percent. But Wapner said those figures should be put in context.
Southwest accounts for more than half of the air traffic at ONT, and its decline could be more damaging than the losses of Delta and United, he said.
The report also shows the Inland Empire is seeing some signs of economic recovery, including a steady growth in population and a 1.6 percent uptick in employment for 2012.
Lucy Dunn, a board member of the local airport authority, said a year ago the San Bernardino and Riverside statistical area had 12.6 percent unemployment, The region is now reporting 10.8 percent unemployment.
"We're starting to pump on all cylinders at a time when jobs are being created, and yet our airport continues to decline. The context of this is a travesty," she said.
According to Johnson, the decline in passenger traffic has amounted to a $540 economic loss to the region since 2007. It has also meant loss of 10,100 jobs in that time.

Game Engines
- See this section for a list of open-source game engine development environments.
Version control software
Copies of software being developed at many different locations require a method to ensure that the multiple distributed copies remain synchronized. This can be done using a central repository or using a distributed synchronization technique. For further information, see the official Ubuntu documentation. Several version control platforms exist:
- Bazaar is sponsored by Canonical and also allows distributed synchronization. Also see the official Ubuntu documentation. Install Bazaar with a Qt-based GUI and Dolphin browser plugins:
sudo apt-get install bzr qbzr dolphin-plugins-bazaar
- Subversion. Now part of Apache, this is one of the most widely used systems and uses a central repository for synchronization. Also see the official Ubuntu documentation. Install:
sudo apt-get install subversion
- KdeSvn is a KDE-based client for Subversion. (sudo apt-get install kdesvn)
- Mercurial (hg) is a newer, low-resource version control system. Install:
sudo apt-get install mercurial
- CVS was previously the most widely used system. Also see the official Ubuntu documentation. Install with the KDE graphical client Cervisia (also see the Cervisia manual):
sudo apt-get install cvs cervisia
- TkCVS is a GUI frontend for both CVS and Subversion (not needed when using Cervisia). Install:
sudo apt-get install tkcvs
- KDE Sdk Dolphin plugins provide Dolphin integration with several types of version control software (CVS, Git, Bazaar, and Mercurial (hg)). Install:
sudo apt-get install kdesdk-dolphin-plugins
- Git allows distributed synchronization and is currently one of the most widely used systems. Also see the Ubuntu community documentation. The git client can be installed:
sudo apt-get install git
- and the gitosis server software:
sudo apt-get install gitosis
- GitK is a Tk-based Git tree visualizer. Install:
sudo apt-get install gitk
SparkleShare (Git frontend)
SparkleShare is a Git repository server/client frontend. Installation is by adding a PPA repository and then installing:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:warp10/sparkleshare sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install sparkleshare
Personal repositories
(K)Ubuntu uses Debian (.deb) packages. Individuals or organizations can create repositories for personal or specialized use. See the Debian wiki introduction. Also see this Ubuntu community advice and this.
Using mini-dinstall with dput, a simple repository can be created. This can then be copied to an online server for public or private access. See this tutorial and this.
DebArchiver is a command-line utility that allows the creation of a folder-based repository. Instructions are from man debarchiver (in a command-line terminal). Install:
sudo apt-get install debarchiver
FTP (online file transfer)
- See this section on FTP servers for more information about vsftp and proftp.
- See this section on FTP clients for more information about FileZilla.
- Also see these FTP tips.
WebDAV (online folders)
See this section on WebDAV for more information about WebDAV servers and clients.
Dropbox (online cloud storage)
Dropbox is a free but proprietary online remote hosting service for private files (similar to the free open-source alternative SparkleShare). Be careful of any storage solution not under your complete control (especially proprietary solutions); they are insecure and should be used for temporary storage of non-critical files only (as an alternative to sending files by email).
- Install prerequisities (several may already be installed on your system):
sudo apt-get install sqlite3 python python-gpgme kdialog klipper
- Download and install the Dropbox client daemon:
wget -O dropbox-current_amd64.deb https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/ubuntu/dropbox_1.6.0_amd64.deb sudo dpkg -i dropbox-current_amd64.deb sudo rm dropbox-current_amd64.deb
- or for the 32-bit version:
wget -O dropbox-current_i386.deb https://www.dropbox.com/download?dl=packages/ubuntu/dropbox_1.6.0_i386.deb sudo dpkg -i dropbox-current_i386.deb sudo rm dropbox-current_i386.deb
- If the Dropbox client daemon has been properly configured and installed, the Dolphin File Manager has a plugin service to manage the online folders. Install:
- Dolphin -> Settings -> Configure Dolphin... -> Services -> Download New Services... -> Dropbox ServiceMenu -> Install
- Kfilebox (formerly known as Kdropbox) is a front-end to the Dropbox client daemon. Installation of Kfilebox will also install the Dropbox daemon (or the Dropbox daemon can be installed separately first). See the website for download and installation instructions.
- See this article if interested in using Dropbox as a webseed for BitTorrent. Because Dropbox is insecure, you may wish to consider installing Dropbox within a quarantined virtual machine and run the virtual machine containing Dropbox only when connected to a secure Internet connection (such as through Tor).
Google Drive (online cloud storage)
Google Drive is a free but proprietary online remote hosting service for private files (similar to the free open-source alternative SparkleShare). Be careful of any storage solution not under your complete control (especially proprietary solutions); they are insecure and should be used for temporary storage of non-critical files only (as an alternative to sending files by email).
- Grive is a free, open-source command-line API for Linux systems to interface with Google Drive.
- Download and install a 32-bit or 64-bit .deb package here.
- Alternatively, a method for installation from a private PPA repository is also provided by WebUpd8 here. Also see tips from the Kubuntu forums.

A large study suggests there are strategies that might reduce the odds of having a peanut- or nut-allergic reaction aboard an airplane. Led by allergist Dr. Matthew Greenhawt of the University of Michigan Medical School, the study identified eight mitigating factors associated with fewer reports of in-flight reactions.
These included:
- making any accommodation request of the airline;
- getting flight crew to make an announcement asking fellow passengers not to consume peanuts or nuts;
- requesting a peanut- and tree nut-free buffer zone;
- asking for a peanut- or nut-free meal;
- wiping off the seat's tray table;
- eating only food brought from home;
- avoiding using the airline's pillow or blankets;
- and requesting a certain section of the cabin (not as significant).
Greenhawt and his colleagues found that of the 3,273 participants from 11 countries who took part in the survey study, 349 reported having an in-flight reaction.
"Looking at those who reported a reaction, there were clear differences in what was asked (of the airline) and what wasn't asked," he says. So the allergist sees a definite benefit of informing the airline of a serious food allergy.
The study, published in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology in Practice, involved participants in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and several countries in Europe and Asia.
Greenhawt acknowledges that many airlines will not offer accommodations such as a PA announcement asking fellow passengers to refrain from eating allergenic snacks.
However, "I do think pre-notification is important, regardless of whether it's rebuked by the airline or not," he told Allergic Living. "If you don't ask and don't make an effort, you will never receive anything. And certain airlines will be more receptive than others."
He believes there are lessons from the mitigating behaviors for passengers, for doctors to communicate to patients, and for airlines. While beyond the scope of his study, he agrees that airline allergy policies designed to protect a minority of people, no matter if reasonable, can cause controversy.
"But choices will have to be made at some point," he says. "Every business wants customers to have a positive experience, and I do believe airlines are concerned about this [allergy risks], but it's more a matter of not knowing what to do. Hopefully, an airline might also look at a study like this and see some solutions."
One thing that might grab their attention in this international study is that, among American respondents, an astounding 61 percent reported not flying again after receiving a diagnosis (usually for a child) of a peanut- or tree nut allergy.
