Yoshi's Park
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
Yoshi's Park is an abandoned amusement park on Yoshi's Island that attempted to give tourists an close and intimate view of yoshis. The park was founded by Dr. Von Fungi as an attempt to bring tourism to the island and increase revenue for various Mushroom Kingdom projects.
edit Mushroom Kingdom Inspection Team
Several buildings and trails were created to turn the island into an all encompassing theme park. Yoshi merchandise, such as dolls, calanders, mugs, and stickers were created within the Mushroom Kingdom while on-site cloning facilities were erected to turn out more yoshis that could possibly be sold as pets.
Yoshis were seen to be very friendly creatures up until the creation of the park. Before the park opened, the Mushroom Kingdom commissioned a team of scientists, administrators, and government officials to deem the park safe to open for public use.edit Mushroom Kingdom Inspection Team

- Luigi
- Toad
- Dr. Von Fungi
- Steven Spielberg
- Dr. Mario
- Koopa Troopa (unnamed)
- Goomba (unnamed)
The events of what followed are why the names of the last two members of the team have been sealed from public view.
edit Massacre at Yoshi's Island
Once the team embarked on their quest, sailing from the Mushroom Kingdom to Yoshi's Island, they met Dr. Von Fungi at the Yoshi's Island Visitor Center. He took the rest of the inspection team through the park, demonstrating the various safety measures and security devices that would keep the yoshis in line if things got out of hand.
Yet a mysterious power failure cut the electricity to the power lines off and left the investigative team without any security system other than the few weapons Mario and Luigi had brought with them.
The first member of the team to be killed was the goomba, when the team was walking by a large area of trees when a long, red tongue darted out and went to grab Dr. Mario. At the last second, Dr. Mario used goomba as a shield, and it took goomba into the bushes. The team could only assume he had been eaten.
The second member, the Koopa Troopa, was stomped upon by a twenty foot yoshi while the team was making their way back to the boat and got flatten, somehow that counts as killed. Only after Mario and Luigi had thrown a few fireballs at the yoshi did it turn away and stomp on Toad.
edit Yoshi's Park Today
The island and the park were left behind once the team had deemed the amusement park unsafe for public use. Dr. Von Fungi was most shaken by this and his reputation as a scientist suffered accordingly.
Very few people attempt to go to Yoshi's Island or Yoshi's Park and have not come back, though there have been reports of various colored yoshi heading toward the mainland. So far there have been no reports of Yoshi within the Mushroom Kingdom itself. However, that doesn't mean Yoshi isn't in the Mushroom Kingdom

They've got muck; we've got rakes. TPM Muckraker
ATF Head Could Recommend Terminations, Suspensions Following Fast And Furious IG Report
The newspaper also obtained the House Oversight Committee's deposition of former acting ATF Director Kenneth Melson, who told investigators that agents, field supervisors and his top commanders were to blame for not telling him that ATF let guns "walk" across the border to Mexico.
Jones, the new ATF head, seemed to suggest in an interview that Melson was more at fault than he indicated to investigators.
"Anybody, including Mr. Melson, who waits for things to happen or waits for information to come to them, that is something I personally am not a believer in," Jones told the Los Angeles Times. "I'm a believer in management by walking around. If you're not hearing it, you seek it out. And there are a lot of ways to do that other than sitting in your corner office waiting for memos to come in."
Melson resigned his position as acting director of ATF in late August. He told congressional investigators that his intelligence official knew about the program but didn't do enough to stop it or inform him.
"He didn't come in and tell me, either," Melson said. "And he's on the same damn floor as I am."

I spend more than 75% of my time on stage improvising. And when I don't do that, I play the horn lines that I have written. Because of this, something that David Sanborn said really resonated with me:
Its all about finding the right note at the right place and knowing when to leave well enough alone. And that's a lifelong quest.
I think this is beautifully illustrated in this version of The Dream, performed at a jazz festival in 1995. Here Sanborn takes his famous ballad, and uses space and a variety of fill notes in his solo, to create a version that is quite different to the original recorded release. He is clearly experimenting with trying to find "the right note at the right place and knowing when to leave well enough alone." The outcome is quite beautiful.

I really need to create a blackberry version of a simple iPhone application that downloads data from a website and when the website is updated a push notification is sent to the device.
I would prefer to build my BB application using Webworks as I already have a mobile version and I thought I may be able to get the PIN number from the device on login and then send a notification to the PIN from the website.
Having done some further research into this, it seems not possible?
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me work out the process to do this as it does seem to be overly complicated.
Just to add to this....
I don't want to be restricted to using only BES or BIS if possible and I have seen lots of tutorials on this but I would really appreciate an explanation as to if what I'm trying to acheive is possible and the best way to acheive it.
Thanks again
Push is only available on BES and BIS on BlackBerry. BIS, i.e., a data plan, is what most consumers have. I'm not sure what you mean by you don't want to use BES or BIS.
WebWorks also has an API that you can use to get the PIN of the device. You'll have to create your own methods for returning that PIN to your service, like a POST to your website or however you want to do it.
WebWorks also has push APIs available, of which there are many examples and tutorials on this board and the Push board on this forum.
Sounds like you want to do something like this:
1. User installs app
2. User logs into website. At this point, send your server the PIN and register the app to listen for pushes.
3. Server-side, push out updates to whichever PINs you want
Hi Shnuffy
Thanks for the reply. That is exactly what I want to do. (sorry, I meant I don't want to be restricted to use one but not the other, but I may have misunderstood the options)
Could you please point me in the direction of a tutorial that will send push from a PHP page to a series of Blackberry PIN numbers.
You may be correct that there are many tutorials but I may be struggling to see the woord for the trees so to speak.
Many thanks again
You need to apply and obtain from RIM free evaluation push credentials. They will email you back with an appID, a URL to push to, and a password. You can use those items to plug into the code below to test your push. This will help you get the server-side stuff working.
Read through the documentation here to get the client-side stuff working. It contains all the APIs available (only a couple, which makes it "nice and easy") and some example code that you can use.
Server-side push tests code:
<?php if ($_POST) { // APP ID provided by RIM $appid = [YOUR APP ID]; // Password provided by RIM $password = [YOUR RIM PROVIDED PASSWORD]; //Deliver before timestamp $deliverbefore = gmdate('Y-m-d\TH:i:s\Z', strtotime('+5 minutes')); //An array of address must be in PIN format or "push_all" $addresstosendto[] = $_POST['pin']; // PIN TAKEN FROM FORM $addresses = ''; foreach ($addresstosendto as $value) { $addresses .= '<address address-value="' . $value .

Thank you shnuffy, that is very helpful
I will give this a try!
Hi Shnuffy
I can get the php code to submit and I get Response DESC: The request has been accepted for processing. however I never receive the push notification on my blackberry.
Also the quota on my RIM evaluation account doesn't ever reduce so it doesn't seem to be working correctly.
I would appreciate any advice
Hi digitalTBM
Did you find the problem? Why you didn't receive notification. I get the same message "The request has been accepted for processing. I didn't receive the push notification on my blackberry".
No i haven't managed to get it to work. I don't know if ut's to do with the app listening for pushes or the PHP code that's not connecting.
It would be great if I could get a "hello world" example of code for a index.html that listens for the push to go with the PHP code here.
Just to be sure, make sure your listening on HTTP (the website pushes to HTTPS) and you're listening on the correct port.
/////////////////////////////////////////////////// // BB PUSH ////////////////////////////////////////////////// / function onRegister(status) { if (status == 0) { alert("registered for push"); } else { alert("push registration failed: " + status); } } function onPush(data) { alert("received push: " + blackberry.utils.blobToString(data.payload)); } function onSimChange() { alert("sim changed"); //should re-register the push listener } var port = 30705; //listener port, provided by RIM var BBserverUrl = "http://pushapi.eval.blackberry.com"; //listen-to URL var appId = "[your app id]"; //unique app-id, provided by RIM var max = 100; //max queue size var wakeUpPage = "index.html"; //if the app is closed and push comes in, wake up here function openBISPushListener() { var ops = { port : port, appId : appId, serverUrl : BBserverUrl, wakeUpPage : wakeUpPage, maxQueueCap : max }; try { blackberry.push.openBISPushListener(ops, onPush, onRegister, onSimChange); } catch (err) { alert("Called openBISPushListener():Error - " + err); } }

Direct Deposit of Student Account Refunds
The Office of the Bursar offers direct deposit as a more convenient means of providing refunds to students. Instead of mailing a check, we will deposit the funds directly into the student's bank account.
Refunds by direct deposit are processed Monday through Friday during the first three weeks of the semester. After the third week of the semester, refunds by direct deposit are processed on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Refunds via check are issued on Fridays and mailed to your mailing address. Students will receive an email from the Office of the Bursar to their OHIO email address when refund has been processed.
Ohio University employees who are also students must sign up for direct deposit through their My OHIO Student Center to receive refunds to their bank account. The direct deposit enrollment for payroll-related activity is separate from the student account.
Enrollment in Direct Deposit
Enrollment in direct deposit is a two-step process. Both steps must be completed or the direct deposit enrollment will not be valid and a paper check refund will be issued. To start the direct deposit enrollment process, sign into the My OHIO Student Center. In the Finances section, select "Enroll in Direct Deposit" from the dropdown menu.
Step One – Entering Bank Account Information
Step Two – Assign the Bank Account to Direct Deposit
After entering your bank account information in step one, BE SURE TO CLICK "Proceed to Enroll in Direct Deposit," else enrollment in direct deposit is not complete. Enrollment is complete when the message, "Congratulations! You are now enrolled in direct deposit" has been displayed.
Please visit the Student Account How To Videos page for a tutorial on how to enroll in direct deposit.
Direct Deposit Guidelines
- Financial aid refunds begin processing on the first day of a semester for students whose financial aid has disbursed and are enrolled in direct deposit.
- The deposit of financial aid funds will be credited to your bank account within 1-2 business days after refund transaction has posted to your student account.
- Prior to writing any checks or attempting to withdraw deposited funds, you should contact your financial institution to verify your refund has been deposited.
- In the event that the University may be obligated to withhold any additional part of your financial aid for any reason, Ohio University shall have the authority to immediately terminate any transfer in process.
- You are responsible for repayment if you receive money that you are not entitled to. This includes the return of a previously issued refund based on enrollment changes after the refund was initially given. Please see the Withdrawal Policy for additional information.
- If you take any action, without adequate notification to the Office of the Bursar, which results in non-acceptance of a transfer by your financial institution, Ohio University assumes no responsibility for processing a replacement refund until the funds are returned.
- Direct Deposit is only available for student refunds. Proceeds from Parent PLUS Loans are issued by check to the borrower unless the parent requests funds be issued to the student.
- Funds must be deposited in a bank account in the student's name.
Frequently Asked Questions about Direct Deposit
How will the money be sent to the bank?
The funds will be sent electronically through the banking system in the same manner as direct deposit payroll. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) is safe, timely, and convenient - NO MORE LOST MAIL.
Are there any reasons why the money would not be deposited to the bank?
If you close your bank account without providing a new authorization, the transfer will be rejected by your bank and will delay your refund. A direct deposit can also be rejected if you entered an incorrect bank account number.
Can I designate more than one account for Direct Deposit? Can the money go to my parent's account?
No, all funds must be deposited in one checking or savings account in your name. Excess funds from Parent PLUS Loans will be issued by check to the borrower.
What if my account is at an out-of-state bank?
Direct Deposit can go to any financial institution within the United States.
When should I sign up?
To ensure processing a refund as a direct deposit, please enroll prior to the start of the term.

A decades-long dispute between Halifax and the federal government over the value of Citadel Hill will go before a panel today to help determine how much Ottawa owes the city in back taxes for the national historic site.
The amount has yet to be settled, two years after Canada's top court ruled in favour of Halifax and nearly 20 years after the disagreement began.
Ottawa had argued the roughly 16 hectares of land was only worth $10 because it has no commercial value, a position law professor Geoffrey Loomer calls "insulting."
"It boggles my mind. It's like someone was just having a laugh," said the Dalhousie University professor.
"It just illustrates how silly this whole process is and whether the whole system for payment in lieu of taxes should just be based on a formula."
Property owned by the federal government is exempt from provincial and municipal taxation, but Ottawa has established an act that provides payments in lieu of taxes. The amount of those payments is established by the minister of public works and based on the value of the land.
The Supreme Court ruled in June 2012 that the federal government cannot set payments based on its own property value assessments that are far lower than provincial assessments.
But the decision didn't include a value for the site in downtown Halifax, and the two sides were not able to come to an agreement on their own.
Loomer said a lot of time and money could be saved by streamlining the process and developing a formula to determine property value.
"Take the average tax per square foot of land in a similar area in the city and just apply it and say right in the statute that's how it's going to work," said Loomer, as an example.
"Save all the money with the bureaucrats arguing back and forth about what it's worth and litigating it up to the Supreme Court of Canada ultimately to determine which pocket the taxpayers money goes into."
Halifax had argued in the Supreme Court that Citadel Hill was worth $19 million.
But that has since jumped tens of millions of dollars, says a lawyer for the city.
Senior solicitor Kirby Grant said she and two of her colleagues will present the dispute advisory panel with two property assessments from the province's Property Valuation Service Corp. and Turner Drake and Partners that range from $51 million to $68 million.
"Since (the Supreme Court decision), they've done a lot of analysis, an in-depth report on the value on the hill and looked at the most recent sales," said Grant.
Public Works declined comment.
But Grant said documents the city has received indicate the federal government will argue the site is worth $12 million, but should be valued at a 70 per cent discount because it is a national historic site, bringing the amount down to about $3.6 million.
She said once the panel has heard the case and receives written submissions from both sides, it will make a recommendation to the federal public works minister, likely in early fall. The hearing is not open to the public.
Loomer said other municipalities with national historic sites are likely keeping a close eye on the case, although the Supreme Court decision does not have an automatic bearing on them.
He said those jurisdictions would have to make their own arguments to persuade Ottawa to pay up.

Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics
Microlensing Observations in Astrophysics (MOA) is a collaborative project between researchers in New Zealand and Japan, led by Professor Yasushi Muraki of Nagoya University. They use microlensing to observe dark matter, extra-solar planets, and stellar atmospheres from the Southern Hemisphere. The group concentrates especially on the detection and observation of gravitational microlensing events of high magnification, of order 100 or more, as these provide the greatest sensitivity to extrasolar planets. They work with other groups in Australia, the United States and elsewhere. Observations are conducted at New Zealand's Mt. John University Observatory using a 1.8 m (70.9 in) reflector telescope built for the project.

Koltnow: Our favorite movie plot twists
What is the statute of limitations on "Planet of the Apes?"
It's been 45 years since Charlton Heston rode his horse down the beach on that strange planet and discovered that he actually was ... no, wait, I can't do it. I can't ruin it for someone who hasn't seen the movie.
If you believe that movies are forever, and that new generations continually discover old movies on their own, then there really never is a good time for a "spoiler alert."
They are the two laziest words in entertainment journalism. There is no good excuse for revealing important plot twists in reviews and feature stories under the protective umbrella of a "spoiler alert."
It is a privilege for journalists to get into early screenings of new movies, and it is a betrayal of that privilege to reveal plot twists to unsuspecting readers.
This summer movie season is young, but I am already noticing a growing trend toward surprise plot twists. I'm such a purist that I'm not even going to hint at which upcoming movies include a twist. You're welcome.
Of course, it's no secret that the first big movie of the summer – "Iron Man 3" – included a huge switcheroo with one of its main characters.
Although the movie has made $1 billion, I cannot assume that it has been seen by everyone who wants to see it, so I won't reveal anything.
But I want to apologize for deceiving you a couple of weeks ago in a story I wrote about "Iron Man 3." I misled you, but it was for a good cause. I did not think it fair to give away the plot twist just because I saw the movie before you. If an inconsiderate coworker or a dorky cousin gave it away, that's out of my control. I did my part – I kept the filmmakers' secret.
That doesn't mean that I lie in all my stories – it means that I only lie in stories about movies with plot twists. Of course, you won't know I'm lying until after you see the movie.
However, I can state for the record that I am not lying right now. I can't say the same thing for any other stories that might appear in today's newspaper.
If you haven't guessed, I enjoy a great plot twist. In fact, some of my favorite movies of all time were ones that fooled me. I love it when I don't see it coming. I hate nothing more than predictability in the movies.
As a favor to you, I will not discuss plot twists in movies you haven't seen yet. But let's have a little fun and look back on some of the best plot twists in movies. Once again, I will not reveal the actual twist. If you haven't seen all of these movies, and you love to be challenged in a darkened theater, do yourself a favor.
I should note that a plot twist should make sense when you watch the film a second time to make sure the twists and turns were honest and not contrived. A shock ending ("The Departed") is not necessarily a plot twist, and neither is the resolution of a mystery ("Citizen Kane").
Here are our 10 favorite plot twists:
1. "The Sixth Sense" (1999) – The kid sees dead people. In case you missed it the first time, the kid sees dead people.
2. "Planet of the Apes" (1968) – If you thought that astronauts landing on a planet run by apes is the big plot twist, you're in for a pleasant surprise.
3. "The Usual Suspects" (1995) – Kevin Spacey won an Oscar, and nothing is as it seems. Some critics were turned off by this plot twist, but it comes out of nowhere.
4. "Fight Club" (1999) – This film also has as many detractors as supporters, but you can't deny the surprise at the bottom of the Crackerjack box. Edward Norton and Brad Pitt star as guys who like to fight.
5. "The Game" (1997) – David Fincher directs and Michael Douglas stars in a movie that seems more like an amusement park ride.
6. "The Others" (2001) – A ghost story with Nicole Kidman, who plays a mother trying to protect her two children. But something is very wrong.
7. "No Way Out" (1987) – Kevin Costner and Sean Young in a sexy spy thriller with a twist out of left field. And this isn't even one of Costner's baseball movies.
8. "Primal Fear" (1996) – Edward Norton makes his second appearance on our list, but this was our first look at a bright new talent.
9. "Psycho" (1960) – Generations of Normans are still trying to live down this very special relationship between a boy and his mom.
10. "The Crying Game" (1992) – This plot twist had people asking the question, "Did I just see what I thought I saw?"

Hero Police Officers Receive Awards
Two NYPD officers were honored with heroism awards at this week's NYC Transit Committee meeting.
MTA Vice Chairman Fernando Ferrer joined NYC Transit President Carmen Bianco and Darryl Irick, Senior Vice President of Buses, President MTA Bus Company, to present Officers James Li and Randy Chow with awards to acknowledge the valiant efforts of both of whom were recently involved in a serious incident as they were doing what they were trained to do – protect and serve. On February 26 Officers Li and Chow attempted to stop and question two individuals they witnessed trying to enter the rear door of a B46 bus without paying their fares. The perpetrators began to flee and one turned and shot at both Officers. Officer Chow was not hit but Officer Li was shot four times. Thankfully, his injuries, while serious were not life threatening.
The awards read, "In recognition of your extraordinary bravery and unselfish actions in the face of extreme danger while confronting an armed fare beater on the B46 bus at Utica Ave & Empire Blvd on February 26, 2014."

It was a rainy morning in Bali, but not for too long as I felt ready to take a refreshing dip in the resort pool after I had breakfast in the resort restaurant. The food selection was pretty impressive. The sun peaked out of the clouds and after I swam I hired a scooter for the rest of my stay in Bali from a trusted online rental company.

One-Third of Parents Concerned About Losing Jobs, Pay When They Stay Home with Sick Kids
Article ID: 595184
Released: 22-Oct-2012 8:50 AM EDT
Source Newsroom: Michigan Medicine - University of Michigan
Available for logged-in reporters only
Newswise — ANN ARBOR, Mich. – Many child care providers have rules that exclude sick children from care, spurring anxious moments for millions of working parents. In a new University of Michigan poll, one-third of parents of young children report they are concerned about losing jobs or pay when they stay home to care for sick children who can't attend child care.
The University of Michigan C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health recently asked parents who have children younger than six years old in child care about the impact of child care illness on their families.
In the poll, nearly two-thirds of parents of young children in child care say their children could not attend because of illness in the past year. Almost one-half of parents with young children in child care indicated that they've missed work in the last year to care for sick kids, and one-quarter missed work three or more times.
One-half of the parents of young children in child care said finding alternative or back-up care is difficult.
Along with the 33 percent of parents who were concerned about losing pay or jobs because of missing work for sick kids, 31 percent said they don't have enough paid leave to cover the days they need for sick children.
"The results of this poll clearly indicate that illnesses that lead to exclusions from child care are a substantial problem for working parents," says Andrew Hashikawa, M.D., clinical lecturer in pediatric emergency medicine at C.S. Mott Children's Hospital.
"Improving employee benefits related to paid sick leave appears to be important for many parents. More supportive sick leave policies would allow parents to care for their sick children at home or give parents the opportunity to go to their child's usual health care provider instead of the emergency room."
When asked about where to take a sick child for care, eight percent of parents in the poll say taking their sick children to the emergency room is more convenient than seeing a primary care doctor. "Parents may also feel that they don't have any other option but the emergency department if they want to have their children checked out after standard office hours and get them back to childcare the next day." says Hashikawa.
At this time of year, as the weather gets colder, there are more colds and runny noses. Many child care settings have policies that exclude sick children until they have a doctor's note, are taking antibiotics or their symptoms improve.
But according to guidelines from the American Academy of Pediatrics and American Public Health Association, not every well-appearing child with a runny nose or cold needs to be sent home from child care. Typically, colds are spread before the child has any symptoms, so exclusion from child care does not necessarily reduce the spread of illness.
"Training childcare providers to make safe and appropriate rules about when kids have to stay home could greatly reduce the burden on families," says Matthew M. Davis M.D., M.A.P.P., director of the C.S. Mott Children's Hospital National Poll on Children's Health.
"According to the National Partnership for Women and Families, an estimated 40 million workers in the United States lack paid sick leave benefits," says Davis, who is also associate professor of pediatrics and internal medicine at the U-M Medical School and associate professor of public policy at the Gerald R. Ford School of Public Policy.
"We hope these latest poll results will spur national discussion about the importance of providing workers with the tools they need to be productive, but also care for their little ones when they are not feeling well," says Davis.

Ellison's $100 Million Best Money Can Buy Sunk by Kiwi Sailors
Aaron KuriloffLarry Ellison's vision of the America's Cup as a high-speed, audience-friendly television event is desperately chasing New Zealand's yacht design and seamanship.
Ellison's $100 million campaign with Oracle Team USA is losing its grip on the 162-year-old trophy, needing to win every remaining race in a series with Emirates Team New Zealand off San Francisco to retain the right to organize the next event.
USA won one race yesterday to pull within 8-2 of the Kiwis, who are just one win shy of victory. An American defeat may end the tenure of this edition's $8 million, 72-foot catamarans that soar above the water on hydrofoils, as well as plans for a professional series tied to the Cup.
"We're all coming to the realization that this is incredibly cool, and it's about to go away," said Peter Isler, an American who sailed on two cup-winning teams.
New Zealand was the first team to use hydrofoils on the big boats, and thus had more experience with how they reacted in upwind and downwind legs and during maneuvers. After Oracle was assessed a two-point penalty before the final for rules violations in preliminary competition, the Kiwis jumped to a race lead of 6-1 marked by better course management that allowed them to maintain control even when the USA took a rare lead on the water. Ellison, 69, even changed tacticians in the middle of the competition.
'Homogeneous Group'
"This team is a homogeneous group that is sailing for their country," said Gary Jobson, an NBC TV sailing analyst who won the cup in 1977 on Ted Turner's crew. "In contrast, Oracle Team USA is made up of a group of international free agents that do not have the national incentive to win for their home country."
The American vessel's chief executive officer is from New Zealand, the skipper is Australian and the tactician is British. The Emirates team's managing director, skipper and tactician are Kiwis.
The world's eighth-richest person with a net worth of about $40.2 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaire's Index, Ellison spent more than a decade and hundreds of millions of dollars to capture the Cup, then remade the event with technology. Then the racing started, and his Oracle team has never led in the series, out-sailed by a Kiwi squad financed by taxpayers and corporate sponsors.
More Teams
"Whoever wins has a duty to get more teams involved," New Zealand Skipper Dean Barker told reporters this week. "There's definitely going to be some cost-saving measures."
A loss on San Francisco Bay would end a Cup shaped by Ellison's vision and marred by tragedy. Seeking the audiences of auto racing's Formula One or Nascar, his planners advertised the world's best sailors racing the world's fastest boats, costing upward of $100 million to develop and race.
Tiny on-board cameras and innovative television graphics flashed up-close racing to viewers, with vistas of San Francisco as a backdrop. Spectators in waterfront grandstands sat close enough to hear skippers barking commands. Bloomberg News parent Bloomberg LP is a media sponsor of the America's Cup.
Sailor Death
The competition was marred by a May 9 training accident that killed Andrew Simpson, a British Olympic gold medalist and member of the Swedish team Artemis Racing. That accident, the second involving the new boats after Oracle capsized in October, spurred four investigations, dozens of new safety rules and renewed debate about whether technology had advanced faster than sailors' ability to use it safely.
The boats were so expensive that all but three of the 15 or so teams organizers expected to challenge for the trophy declined to participate. Grant Dalton, managing director for the New Zealand team, told the New Zealand Radio Network last week that the 72-foot boats were similar to the Concord supersonic jet -- an impressive engineering feat but not economically viable.
Each of Ellison's previous three Cup campaigns cost between $100 million and $200 million, according to Julian Guthrie's book "The Billionaire and the Mechanic." Ellison was quoted by Guthrie as saying he didn't know what he'd spent and he didn't want to know. Russell Coutts, chief executive of the Oracle team and the most-successful sailor in Cup history, said the cost of this year's campaigns were within 5 percent of previous editions.
Too Costly
Torbjorn Tornqvist, the owner of Artemis Racing, said the 72-foot catamarans, while thrilling, were too expensive. He said he supports continuing in catamarans, which can sail quickly in both light and heavy air, reducing weather delays that plagued previous television broadcasts. Returning to the staid monohulls of previous Cups would be a step backward, he said in a telephone interview last week.
"These 72-foot winged cats are the most spectacular sailing boats ever made," said Tornqvist, co-founder of Geneva-based Gunvor Group Ltd whose oil trading fortune gives him a net worth of about $3.1 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. "The dilemma is how to make it spectacular but also affordable."
Lead Changes
The finals marked the culmination of Ellison's vision, with multiple lead changes and high-speed action in boats riding above the waves. Its future is in question.
"I'm afraid it's a matter of funding and economics," Harvey Schiller, vice-chairman of the America's Cup advisory board and former president of YankeeNets, the holding company that for a time owned the New York Yankees and then-New Jersey Nets, said last week. "I think it remains to be seen."
Ben Ainslie, the tactician for Oracle and a four-time Olympic gold medalist for Britain, said switching to monohulls or smaller catamarans wouldn't necessarily reduce costs.
"Of course what we need to do is bring the cost down to have more teams competing next time around," he said. "That doesn't necessarily mean if we have a smaller boat, it's going to be more cost-effective. It comes down a lot to the people -- that's one of the biggest issues with the budgets of these teams."
The New Zealand crew members said the 72-foot catamarans were among the most exciting they've ever sailed. Ray Davies, the Kiwi tactician, called racing them "awesome."
'Very Cool'
"They're a hell of a lot of fun, there's no other way of putting it," he said. "The boats are very, very cool."
Some remnants of Ellison's high-tech Cup probably will remain, particularly the television graphics. Stan Honey, a former Rolex Yachtsman of the Year who developed the glowing yellow first-down line used in American football telecasts, created an Emmy Award-winning system of cameras and sensors that produce virtual reality overlays on television screens showing which boat is leading, the course boundaries, relative velocities and other data.
"I think what Stan Honey and the guys have done is just fantastic," said Nick Holroyd, technical director for New Zealand. "My hat's off to them."

Robot handles welding, assembly, material handling
FANUC Robotics North America Inc. has introduced the R-2000iB multipurpose, intelligent robot that handles welding, assembly, part transfer, material removal, and machine loading.
The robot is supported by the R-J3iC controller, which provides vibration control during motion. This enables the robot to accelerate and decelerate quickly, reducing cycle time by 5 percent, the company reports. For spot welding applications, the control automatically optimizes servo gun and robot motion, reducing cycle time up to 15 percent.
The control's integrated vision function adds intelligence to the system without the need for additional processing hardware. It also simplifies the use of the company's Vision Shift, which adjusts an offline program to an actual robot program by using vision and TCP setup to accurately set tool-center points.
Multiple model variations are available, including a 165-kg base model, a high-payload version, and a rack-mount model. A slim arm and wrist assembly helps minimize interference with system equipment and allows the robot to operate in small workspaces.

josephs51576386 Sep 7, 2012 3:35 PM (in response to web.boards)1 person found this helpfulI'm fairly sure it's still 32. I don't think it can be adjusted. This help doc also says 32.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/premierepro/cs/using/WSC737E382-06E1-46fb-84C9-A0741CBB320Ca.h tml
They also say there is 32 on this site as well.
If you would like to be able to have more than 32 I'd recommend filing a feature request, I filed one quite awhile ago myself.
2. Re: History states?
Jim_Simon Sep 7, 2012 3:35 PM (in response to josephs51576386)Yes, we need waaaaaaaay more than 32. Hell just one round of 'nudging' and we lose the ability to undo everything else.
999 should be the max.
3. Re: History states?
the_wine_snob Sep 7, 2012 4:15 PM (in response to Jim_Simon)Jim,
Not sure that 999 would be the correct idea, but more than 32 WOULD be good. Being able to adjust that in Preferences would be a plus.
In PS, the History States do require resources, but cannot comment on those in PrPro. Being able to adjust History States would be a good way to handle it.
4. Re: History states?
Ann Bens Sep 8, 2012 3:28 AM (in response to web.boards)There is no option to set Undo, its just 32 period.
Please file a feature request. If you find you need more then 32 undo's like many of us do.
5. Re: History states?
Jim Curtis Sep 8, 2012 8:49 AM (in response to Ann Bens)As somebody who worked with Ps and many other apps that had ONE undo, I've become accustomed to saving at every meaningful set of changes, and using Revert to go back to that state.
And since Pr CS6 is so crash-prone, yea even at this stage of its evolution, I persist in saving at every meaningful stage of a project.
Besides, setting your Auto-Save frequency to a low value should cover you if 32 undos seems parsimonious.
I endorse the idea of a Feature Request if that's still unsatisfactory, although I have my own priorities (link below), and won't be joining you on this one.
6. Re: History states?
the_wine_snob Sep 8, 2012 8:55 AM (in response to Jim Curtis)Jim,
As per your workflow, I also habitually use Save, and Save_As, plus a few Save_As_a_Copy, when a milestone has been reached.
Maybe it comes from Pinnacle, and then Avid Liquid, but my workflow is: perform operation, check it out, Ctrl+S, preview, Save_As. Perform an operation, rinse and repeat. End of day, Save_As_a_Copy.
Still, a more robust History State option would be good, too. As Jim Simon states, a few Nudges, and 32 History States gets eaten up quickly.

Stock Picks: RightNow, Sirius XM, US Airways, Wal-Mart
RightNow Technologies: Janney Montgomery Scott equity analyst Sasa Zorovic lowered a rating on shares of RightNow Technologies (RNOW) to neutral, from buy, on July 7. He also lowered a fair value estimate on the shares to 17, from 22.
In a note, Zorovic said he was lowering second-half 2010 growth estimates for the Web-based customer-service provider because he expects the company to be affected adversely by a slowdown in information technology spending, competition from salesforce.com (CRM), unfavorable foreign exchange movements, and hiring costs incurred earlier in the year. "This makes the company more exposed to an 'air pocket' in revenue, lowering earnings," he wrote.
"Though RightNow has done a great job penetrating further its existing customer base, growing the number of large deals, increasing its [average selling prices], etc., its total customer count remains unchanged at 1,900," Zorovic said.
The analyst lowered second-quarter estimates for revenue to $43.2 million, from $43.8 million, and pro forma earnings per share (EPS) to 9¢, from 11¢. He reduced 2010 estimates for revenue to $180.2 million, from $181.9 million and EPS to 44¢, from 48¢.
Sirius XM Radio: Miller Tabak equity analyst David Joyce raised a rating on shares of Sirius XM Radio (SIRI) to buy, from neutral, on July 7. He kept a 1.25 one-year price target on the shares and instituted a long-term 1.45 target.
Sirius, the only U.S. satellite radio broadcaster, said on July 7 that it will have 1.1 million net new subscribers for the year, having added more than 583,000 in the second quarter. When it reported first-quarter results in May, Sirius said it would have more than 500,000 net additions for the year; two weeks later it raised that forecast to 750,000.
The company had a net subscriber decline of 185,999 in the second quarter of 2009.
In a note, Joyce said he was increasing his estimate for full-year net subscriber additions to 1.184 million, from 767,000. He said the stronger-than-anticipated subscriber growth was likely driven by continued strong auto sales. "[O]ther metrics indicate that the subscriber base is strengthening and that this is not necessarily just a short-term phenomenon," he said.
The analyst raised revenue forecasts for the second quarter to $696 million, from $691 million, and for 2010 to $2.80 billion, from $2.766 billion. Assuming gross addition costs of $74 per subscriber in the second quarter, up from $59 in the first, Joyce lowered his forecast for second-quarter operating cash flow to $119 million, from $159 million. He increased his operating cash flow estimates for the third quarter to $188 million, from $159 million, and for the fourth quarter to $140 million, from $131 million, which would result in an overall reduction to his full-year estimate to $584 million, from $606 million.
US Airways Group: Soleil Securities reiterated a buy rating on shares of US Airways Group (LCC) on July 7. The price target on shares of the airline was increased to 13, from 12.
On July 6, US Airways reported that June consolidated passenger revenue per available seat mile rose 22 percent.
In a brief note, equity analyst James Higgins said he believed that better-than-expected June revenue data was aided by the carrier's having a more leisure- and domestically focused passenger base than Continental Airlines, (CAL), which "disappointed" with its June revenue release.
Higgins raised EPS estimates for 2010 to $2.10, from $1.70, and for 2011 to $2.80, from $2.70.
The analyst called US Airways shares "an especially leveraged way to play an ongoing US airline recovery".
Wal-Mart Stores: UBS Securities equity analyst Neil Currie maintained a buy rating on shares of Wal-Mart Stores (WMT). He lowered a price target on shares of the world's largest retailer to 60, from 70.
"[W]e think Bill Simon, WMT's new US [chief executive officer], will bring change at the domestic business," Currie wrote in a note. He said the company's Project Impact, Win/Play/Show, and Clear Action Alley initiatives may be abandoned, and that "a return to a more traditional EDLP [everyday low pricing] model could and should (in our opinion) be in the cards." Curie said that spending on store remodelings may also be pared back and the company's strategy of expansion in urban markets "may become more of a focus."
"With high unemployment continuing to hit the traditional WMT customer and rapid changes to strategy we fear that, despite some heroic pricing on soda and snacks, [store] traffic and [same-store sales] remain under pressure (possibly still negative)," he said.
The analyst lowered EPS estimates for the second quarter to 93¢, from 98¢, for 2010 to $3.92, from $4.07, and for 2011 EPS to $4.30, from $4.40.
"While we have concerns about the cost of yet another change in strategy, we continue to like WMT for its cost strategy, international growth, and urban market potential," Currie said.

Two weeks later john gets shot because his new partner didn't have his back like Ben did. Ben hears about it and goes to the hospital. John is packing his stuff he turns when he hears the door shut. Ben sees that his arm is in a cast. John smiles

"It's your nature you can't help it"
Ben pushes john playfully.
"Shut up I'm serious coop"
John laughs
"I shouldn't have said that back then and I'm so sorry"
John sits on the bed and just looks at Ben.
"It killed me when you said that"
"I know and as soon as I said it I felt like a complete asshole. I was just upset about my mom's rapist getting out and I took it out on the love of my life and I'm so sorry I-"
"Wait what"
"What did you just say?"
"I um I-"
John laughs Ben turns around embarrassed and leaves but before he walks out he says he's sorry. John calls after him but he doesn't answer. The next day john is cleared to leave. He goes home to find Ben on the couch watching TV. He goes over to him.
"Do you know how much that cab fare was?"

"No I did I just froze"
"And why did you leave"
"Because you had a huge creepy grin on your face. I thought you were laughing at me and I freaked ok"
John smiles that huge grin again.
"See just like that. I thought you didn't feel the same way"
"Well you caught me off guard and just ran out on me. You didn't give me time to say I love you too"
Ben looks up.
"What really"
"Of course I've been in love with you for a while now. I was just afraid you wouldn't say it back or even worse say thank you"
"Same here I'm sorry I didn't pick you up. I was just afraid to face you. I thought you didn't want to see me"
"I'm sorry too for making you feel like I didn't want to see you"
Ben wipes a tear away from john eye.
"So you love me and I love you"
"Yeah is that bad"
"No it's wonderful"
John: so are you I'm lucky I have you
They kiss then john rubs Ben's four month old belly.

"I smell pizza"
"Yeah I ordered it for you when you get home but then all that went down. I'm sorry"
"Stop saying you're sorry. Now cone on I'm starving for some real food not that crap they call food at the hospital"
They eat there food and later head upstairs, Where they fall asleep. The next morning Ben wakes up to the smell of hot food so he goes downstairs and in to the kitchen to find john cooking.

"Morning Sherman"
"What are you doing?"
"What does it look like I'm doing?"
"It looks like your cooking"
"You seem surprised"
"Yeah you never cook"
"Well maybe I wanted to do this for my fiancé and the mother of my child"
"Why do I have to be the mother?"
"Because you're the one that's print"
"So that doesn't make me"
Ben stops talking.
"What is it?"
"You said fiancé"
"Yeah is that a problem"
"No I just"
"You're so cute when you do that"
"Shut up coop seriously why did you say that"
John pulls out a red box and sets it on the counter.
"I guess you already know what I'm going to ask you so will you"
"If you ask me the right way I might"
"Well I might have but you ruined it"
"You're the one who said fiancé not me. So are you"
John gets down on one knee.
"I can't believe your making me do this and I just got shot"
"Yeah in the arm"
John smiles
"Ben Sherman I fell in live with you the moment I laid eyes on you. In that rookie uniform. God you looked so sexy."
Ben smiles

"Try it"
"Come on just one bite"

"Please for me"
John groans
"Please please please
"Ok fine but one bite no more"

There were gooseberries in the garden I grew up in, in Bloemfontein. A big bush, hung with little lanterns. There are always gooseberries in plastic clamshells at Woolworths, in Cape Town.
My mother has always loved them. I have not. Tart. Puckery.
Then I discovered two leggy gooseberry bushes growing in pots next to the swimming pool here at No. 9, and I could not resist picking a handful of white papery husks, indicators of the ripe fruit. I ate one. It was big and plump and deep orange. And sweet. Not even a hint of acidity. Big surprise.
So now I want my own gooseberry bush. To join the miscellany of edible plants amongst the satellite dishes on the Brooklyn rooftop. Because I have seen the light.
10 comments:
Those are way different from the hairy berries what we call gooseberries (like these: http://s3.hubimg.com/u/321242_f520.jpg)- those look more like what we call ground cherries. They grow like weeds around here, which is great since they're so tasty.
It's funny how common names differ from place to place. If you buy a bush, make sure to see pictures first so you get the kind you want!
--JennieGlad you said pointed that out, Jennie. I've never seen gooseberries, so my first thought was, "So those are gooseberries; I always thought they were ground cherries." We had them in Indiana; my father used to mail them to me here in NYC. Now I will have to pester Marie for them (or try to grow them myself).
ReplyDeleteEllen - so you did buy them at a farmers' market? Interesting. No, you gave us wild cherry, rowan berry and ornamental quince :-) Yum. I brought the wild cherry here and rowan here. Both delicious, the rowan with a distinctly bitter side taste, not at all unpleasant- never had anything like it. We had it at Christmas with roast lamb. Vince has the quince, to console him.
And yes, they are perennial here, but possibly short-lived.

If you were following us with the WWDC live yesterday you will notice not much was mentioned about this. That's because internet tethering with the iPhone 3G and the new iPhone 3G S will ultimately vary according to the network provider in your country. For those not so familiar with what internet tethering is, it basically lets your laptop / netbook / computer use the internet via the iPhone's 3G connectivity.
iPhone 3G S, that's the name of the new 2009 iPhone we've all been looking forward to. S stands for Speed! If you weren't following us with the live blogging of the WWDC 2009, Phil Schiller has now officially announced the latest iPhone. While having said that the iPhone 3G will still remain on the market, its hoped that the iPhone 3G S will become the most popular camera and video mobile phone to come.
So what will be the specs and features? Many of which were already known through rumors in fact. To be released in black and white, the latest iPhone 3GS will be equipped with a three megapixel camera with autofocus, touch focus, no flash. 7.2 Mbps HSDPA, voice control is a new one, video recording / video camera will also boast editing function. Performance as you would imagine has been much improved with this new iPhone, battery life has also been given a massive boost, with video playback for example now supported for up to ten hours and talk time up to 12 hours on 2G. Also as rumored was a built in compass function, the new iPhone 3GS will of course arrive with iPhone 3.0.
iPhone 3.0 will officially be available to all on June 17th. It will be free for all iPhone customers to update to, while it will cost $9.95 for iPod touch users.
Nintendo has announced that a new black version of its popular video game console Wii will be arriving in August. Those of you who have held up on buying the original white colour themed Wii for the past two years may now finally be tempted to a make purchase.
Though there won't be any changes in terms of hardware, I must say that the black Wii as well as its black Wiimote pictured looks amazing.
Looks like Vodafone and Orange lost out once again on an opportunity to gaining more customers. The UK's largest mobile network O2 has won their bid to bring the Palm Pre to the UK. According to the Guardian, with already more than 20 million customers, O2 looks to stock up the device by the coming holiday season.
Last week, Palm announced that the Pre will be available in the US from next month under an exclusive deal with Sprint for $199.99 (£129) on a two-year contract. While its not yet been revealed what pricing will be like here in the UK. It will be

Pentax has announced and confirmed the launch of their new mid-range DSLR camera. Known as the Pentax K-7, its expected to arrive us in the UK by end of June. With several new user-friendly features, including video recording, high dynamic range (HDR), and automatic horizon correction, Pentax looks to compete with the likes of Nikon D5000 however the K-7 will be more expensive than both similarly specced cameras from Canon and Nikon in the UK.
The new DSLR will feature a 14.6-megapixel sensor, ISO 100 to ISO 6400 settings and the company's PRIME II imaging engine, an upgrade of the original PRIME. Continuous shooting gives a nice 5.2 images per second, like most new DSLRs, the K-7 too has "Live View" as well as video recording mode.
Keen on taking good pictures and HD videos with a mobile phone? The Samsung Omnia HD i8910 is now out in the UK, and we definitely recommend you head to your local shop to check it out. According to the sources we've looked at, the new i8910 appears to be available only via Orange at this point.

Ooh! There are some really good ones here. I'm trying to get my sister to put one in in her kitchen. Good tip on the depth!
Gotta tell you, I disagree with seat depth. I LOVE my banquette (24″ deep), had it for 25 years, but I'm remodeling my kitchen and going to go with 20″ to 22″. 24″
was just too deep.
I really need for you to come to my house and install a banquette… such great ideas here!
I really wanted to do a banquette in our kitchen alongside the island, but it will block the main route between the sink and the fridge so it's a no-go. Maybe someday. Love the pics!
I will definitely have a banquette in my future home. I absolutely HATE eating at the table — primarily because it's so uncomfortable! So I end up on the couch with my tv trays. 🙂
Completely loving these tips. I am wanting my parents to do one in their new kitchen, so I will have to save this post for reference/ideas!!
I REALLY want a banquet but I don't think I have the right layout. If you had a window that ends only a foot off the ground would you put a banquet there? Great tips!
These are some really fabulous ideas!! I like the idea of a high backed banquette – it kind of reminds me of a headboard which can be the focal point of the kitchen and bedroom 😉 Very detailed post… thanks!
You were reading my mind!!! I'm so excited about this post. I want a banquette attached to the island…and these photos help so much, as well as the seat depth and all of that….FAB! Some of these are going to my future home board on pinterest 🙂

Tycho Brahe
The Danish astronomer, Tycho Brahe (1546 - 1601) made surprisingly accurate calculations of the position of Mars 20 years before the telescope was invented! In 1576, Brahe set up an observatory in Hven, an island near Copenhagen where he studied the stars for 20 years. Using keen eyesight and large instruments, he calculated the position of Mars to within four minutes of arc.
In the 1500s, people believed that the Earth was the center of the universe, and everything revolved around our planet. A revolutionary idea was published in 1543 by Nicolaus Copernicus. He provided mathematical evidence for a heliocentric universe, one where the planets in the solar system revolve around the sun. This theory was formed two hundred years before the telescope was invented, using his eyes to watch the heavens. Unfortunately, Copernicus never knew what a change his theory would cause in the scientific community, as his theory was published at the end of his life, and was not widely accepted until about 100 years after his death.
