Brussels, 18 June 2010
Commission and US agree to cooperate on civil aviation research and development
The European Commission and the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) have officially concluded negotiations for the establishment of a Memorandum of cooperation in civil aviation research and development. The two delegations, led by Hank Krakowski, FAA Chief Operating Officer, and Daniel Calleja, European Commission's Director of Air Transport, met in Madrid today, hosted by the EU Spanish Presidency, [in the presence of Spain's Transport Minister Jose Blanco]. The negotiating parties initialled the Memorandum and a first technical Annex promoting interoperability between their respective air traffic management (ATM) modernisation programmes: SESAR and NextGen.
The Memorandum will enable the EU and the US to jointly pursue their common objective to develop and deploy greener and more efficient air transport systems through a legally binding cooperation framework, based on commonly agreed reciprocity principles. Under the Memorandum the two parties will be able to address through cooperative activities any research and development issues in civil aviation such as: safety, security, environment, performance, alternative fuels, aircraft design, Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS), sub-orbital airplanes, satellite-based communications and related ATM applications, etc.
The simultaneous agreement on the first technical Annex of the Memorandum dedicated to SESAR-NextGen cooperation constitutes a major achievement for ensuring effective interoperability of the two ATM systems. For the EU side, the activities launched under this Annex will be carried out by the SESAR Joint Undertaking ensuring an optimal coordination of European ATM modernisation activities and the direct involvement of EU aviation industry.
In accordance with the agreed reciprocity principles, the parties undertake to identify the opportunities available to interested parties to participate in consultative fora of each party's ATM modernisation program and opportunities to each other's industry stakeholders to contribute to programs of equivalent research and development activities. Furthermore, through this agreement, the EU and the US will coordinate their technical efforts in support of global standardisation of ATM systems through the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO). Interoperability between SESAR and NextGen is in fact essential for airspace users - airlines in particular - as it will enable aircraft to fly in the US and in the EU airspaces with the same equipment to navigate, communicate and report its position, avoiding additional costs and weights.
The parties already envisage to develop in the very near future additional Annexes, namely in the fields of aviation safety (for example addressing the impact of volcanic ash clouds) and of use of alternative fuels in aviation. The rapid implementation of the Annex will provide a substantial contribution to the effective deployment of SESAR and consequently to accelerating the implementation of the Single European Sky.
The Commission will now propose the text for formal adoption then present it to the Council and the European Parliament for approval of it signature, in view of its entry into force in early 2011.

However i need an equivalent to that in c# as otherwise i have about 70 lines of code and it is much harder to use,

I love finding new toys for my kids to play with. A huge plus is when I find toys that are not only fun to play with, but are also constructive. Whether it be strategy skills that the toys teach, or any other type of useful skills. I love toys that my kids can learn something from while at the same time having fun! So when given the Magneatos 72 piece set from HearthSong.com to review, I was very excited to get it out for my son to play with. This set is so much fun. The pieces are big so there are no little parts for little ones to choke on like other magnetic building sets. The magnetic pieces are great for teaching the power of magnets and cause and effect, which are great skills to start teaching your kids at a young age! Then the fine motor skills they can pick up from building are also very useful. The bright colors are great, especially when you are teaching your little ones how to recognize the different colors! With this set there are a huge number of possibilities on what you can teach and do with your kids while playing!! Over at HearthSong.com they carry a huge line of toys and with all of the toys they carry, they keep the different stages of child development in mind as well as the different types of learning abilities that children may have, so you are sure to find the perfect present for any child over at HearthSong.com when shopping this holiday season!!! With that said, since we are in the holiday gifting spirit over here at Mommy Katie, the people from HearthSong would like to join us in the festivities by giving one of my awesome readers a Magneatos 72 Piece Set to share with a special child this holiday season!!!

Ashton Kutcher has more money than you.
The "Two and a Half Men" actor tops Forbes' annual list of TV's highest-paid actors, with an estimated $24 million earned between June 2012 and June 2013, according to CBSNews.com.
Apparently, "Two and a Half Men" is the golden goose of television. Right behind Kutcher on the list is his co-star, Jon Cryer, with estimated earnings of $21 million.
Ray Romano is third with $16 million, thanks to the royalties he still collects from "Everybody Loves Raymond."
Tied for fourth are "NCIS" star Mark Harmon and "How I Met Your Mother" star and Tonys and Emmys host Neil Patrick Harris, both with an estimated $15 million over the 12-month period covered. "Grey's Anatomy" star Patrick Dempsey came in fifth with $13 million.
The website reported that last month, "Modern Family" star Sofia Vergara was the highest-paid actress on television, earning an estimated $30 million the previous year.

Since Mayor Luge Hardman took office in April 2012, she set out a list of goals she wanted to accomplish in 2012. Several of those goals focused on boosting the city's economy, and looking back on the year, it's safe to say the mayor has accomplished that goal.
In fact, $36 million has gone toward new construction in the past year in the City of Waynesville.
Out of the many new construction projects that the city has started in 2012, three particular projects stick out in Hardman's mind that she believes will truly transform the city's west side: B&B Theatre, Phelps County Regional Medical Center, and Ozark Technical center.
"Those three projects will be huge for us because they bring people," Hardman said. "And when you bring people, other businesses will come."
Hardman said that these projects also will cover a wide variety of needs for the community: entertainment, medical, and education.
Here's a short breakdown of the city's major projects in 2012 and an update of their progress.
1)B&B Cinema:
The project:
In June, the City of Waynesville announced that B&b Theatres will build a 12-screen Theatre, the Waynesville Patriot 12.The theater will feature stadium style-seating with leatherback seats, equipped with the latest B&B technology including digital surround sound and wall-to-wall curved screens.
The Progress:
B&B expects a Summer 2013 opening date and has already began construction.
2)Ozark Technical College
The project: In April, Ozark Technical College broke ground on its new $5 million facility located next to Waynesville High School. The facility will be a one-story building with 11 classrooms, hosting an estimated 1,500 students,
The Progress:
Construction has already began on the project and is expected to The facility will be ready for use in Fall 2013.
3)Phelps County Regional Medical Clinic: Earlier this year, Phelps County Regional Medical Center (PCRMC) purchased property in Waynesville for the development of a new PCRMC clinic in Pulaski County. The new clinic will be located off of Interstate 44, Highway H and the Westgate Exchange, near the Waynesville High School and directly adjacent to the Veterans Primary Care Clinic and will cost an estimated $24 million.
Construction is estimated to begin in Spring, 2013 and will take 14 to 15 months.

Happy Valentines week. There's a pretty big deal every year around Valentines Day. Yep,kindof a big thing around my house - it means that my birthday is two weeks away. Means I'm getting older and wiser and that I'm a better fishermen. Hey, this is my storyline and I'ma gonna tell it how I wanna.
This weather we have coming should really turn the fishing around here in Cedar Key. Our sheepshead spawning migration hasn't happened yet, but most likely will very soon, maybe even during this moon phase. A lot of full moons can spark a spawn which will migrate those fish into a school and spark an awesome chew.
As for my beloved redfish, they should feel this elevation of warm temperature and raise up to some shallow sandy or muddy edges. Be quiet and slow and make long casts. This will help, 'cause they will be spooky. Trout remains closed and will be for a few more weeks. But, as the season opens it will be time to go get limits without to much struggle.
This is just a few things to expect this week and next. Then I think we have another cold snap to deal with. Time will tell if its gonna be big enough to change anything.
I had a trip this Saturday with some new clients from Dade City. Mr. Bob Armstrong had a longtime fishing buddy, Dan and his son, Nick. We hit some creeks southeast of Cedar Key to find a limit of reds and some shorts and a few small black drum. We used live shrimp on the bottom with jigs. It was a lot of fun 'cause the folks said it had been many years since they caught fish like that and it was a joy to see them so excited.
Check out the pics and we will see y'all here next week.

A deadline to offer public comment to the Bureau of Land Management on the El Paso Collaborative Access Planning Area is quickly approaching, according to a BLM operations chief
"The public should keep submitting comments," said Craig Beck, recreations and operations chief for the BLM Ridgecrest field office.
The comment phase is part of an overall process under the West Mojave (WEMO) Management Plan to look at a way to designate off-road vehicle access routes for the region, which includes Ridgecrest and the surrounding Kern County.
An initial process was drawn up in 2006 to act as a baseline to balance trail use while protecting native endangered species like the Mohave ground squirrel or the desert tortoise.
However, in 2011 following a lawsuit filed by a number of environmental groups including the Center for Biodiversity, California Superior Court Judge Susan Illston issued an order invalidating the original route designation process and ordering the BLM to start again from scratch. The only part of the WEMO ammendment to stay intact included conservation efforts.
The court ordered the process to be completed by March 31, 2014.
A series of public meetings to gauge public reaction were held between October and November to inform the public and gauge public comment on the scenario.
Public reaction was strong at both Ridgecrest meetings, particularly among outdoor enthusiasts that use public land for everything from OHV use to hiking, horseback riding and star gazing.
Beck said any additional information would be useful in helping to determine which paths and routes people was welcome, whether from marked up maps to GPS locations.
The BLM will likely begin reviewing comments after the deadline.
"The staff will then develop something and put together a draft to get out to the public," Beck said. He said that will likely be summer before that happens.
The deadline to submit is Friday, Jan. 25.
Public comment can be submitted to the BLM Ridgecrest field office at 300 South Richmond Road or by email at email@example.com.

Point Guards
Nate Robinson Bulls
Kirk Hinrich is day-to-day with a hip injury and Derrick Rose may or may not play this season. Robinson had 18 points on Saturday and is averaging 11.5 points, 3.5 rebounds, 4.2 assists, a steal and nearly a 3-pointer per game on the season. And with Hinrich banged up and four games this week, he looks like a must-start in weekly leagues.
A.J. Price Wizards
Price flirted with a triple-double on Friday and posted a double-double on Saturday with 12 points and 14 assists, while John Wall is still not ready to return from his knee injury. The clock is ticking on Price, but he's obviously worth rolling with until Wall comes back.
Jarrett Jack Warriors
Jack hasn't quite blown up like we thought he might when Brandon Rush went down, but there's still a long way to go. He played 38 minutes on Saturday and finished with eight points, eight rebounds, five assists and two steals, but played just 15 minutes on Friday night. Jack's not a must-start fantasy player, and may not even be must-own in smaller leagues, but I think it makes a lot of sense to hang onto him in most leagues, until he starts getting a consistent role for Mark Jackson.
Luke Ridnour Timberwolves
Ridnour is averaging 12 points, three boards and three assists over his last three games and has hit four 3-pointers over that stretch. Ricky Rubio still isn't expected back until some time in December, so Ridnour should continue to start and put up decent numbers until that happens.
Jose Calderon Raptors
Calderon has been starting for Kyle Lowry (ankle) and is averaging 10 points and five assists on the season. Even when Lowry returns, Calderon should still see solid minutes at both guard positions for the Raptors. He's not a must-own player in all leagues, but should continue to see close to 25 minutes a night, meaning he will be an option in most leagues.
Others to consider: E'Twaun Moore (should be held in all leagues), Ramon Sessions, Jason Kidd, Aaron Brooks, Eric Bledsoe.
Others to consider: E'Twaun Moore (should be held in all leagues), Ramon Sessions, Jason Kidd, Aaron Brooks, Eric Bledsoe.
Shooting Guards
Dion Waiters Cavaliers
Waiters should no longer be available in most leagues and is averaging nearly 17 points per game this season, along with 2.7 3-pointers. Bradley Beal is also hot and the two rookie shooting guards should be scooped up in all leagues.
Jason Terry, Courtney Lee, Leandro Barbosa Celtics
The Celtics play five games this week, making Terry a must-own player for the short term, while Lee and Barbosa are worth a look in deeper leagues for the extra games played. Terry is starting to play a little better, scoring 16, 13 and 15 points over his last three games, and hitting six 3-pointers over that stretch.
Lance Stephenson, Gerald Green Pacers
Stephenson started at shooting guard in his last game and had 12 points, four rebounds and two 3-pointers, and has played more than 20 minutes in all but two games this season. He's not a must-own player, but the Pacers like him and he's going to get run. And if he continues to start for the Pacers, he should be a nice deep-league addition. Gerald Green finally broke out in his last one, going for 15 points, eight boards and a 3-pointers in 28 minutes, and we still think he's going to eventually get hot and stay that way for the Pacers. Danny Granger is going to be out for a long time and both of these players are going to do their part to pick up the slack.
Alan Anderson Raptors UPDATE: Anderson was injured on Saturday and it doesn't look like he'll play this week.
Anderson started at shooting guard for an injured Landry Fields on Saturday, and while he only scored seven points, he did play 27 minutes. Anderson has already hit eight 3-pointers on the season, and while he should score and hit threes going forward, he'll only be a reliable fantasy player if he sticks in the starting lineup. Give him a look if you're in a deep league.
Jared Dudley, Shannon Brown Suns
Dudley was dropped after struggling to start the season and finally had a nice game with 16 points, two steals, two blocks and two 3-pointers on Saturday. He's averaging 27 minutes per game and while Shannon Brown is threatening to steal his job, it's still Dudley's to lose. He's not a must-start player just yet, but it does feel like he's about to turn it around. Brown scored 24 and 22 points in back to back games with eight 3-pointers, but had just four points on 1-of-9 shooting on Saturday. If Dudley continues to struggle and Brown takes his job, he'll be the guy to own.
Others to consider: J.J. Redick (should be held in all leagues), Ben Gordon, Ronnie Brewer, Danny Green, Richard Hamilton, Randy Foye, Nick Young, Stephen Jackson, Mike Dunleavy, Jordan Crawford.
Small Forwards
Michael Beasley Suns
Beasley has been hit or miss this season, posting two monster lines along with several mediocre ones. He's getting 29 minutes per game and has seven 3-pointers and seven blocks on the season, and I see no reason the Suns won't keep going to him. I don't trust him enough to start him over a good player in weekly leagues right now, but I'm going to hang onto him where I own him.
Chandler Parsons, Carlos Delfino Rockets
Parsons and Delfino have both been hit or miss all season, and will continue to get in each other's way going forward. Parsons has scored in double figures just once since opening night, but did have 19 points, five boards and three 3-pointers on Friday night. He's hit 10 3-pointers on the season, but has scored nine or fewer points in four of his last five. Delfino's numbers are very similar to Parsons' and he has scored eight or fewer in four of his last five, but did have 19 points and four 3-pointers on Wednesday. He's hit 13 3-pointers on the season, but is only worth a look if you're desperate for them.
Tayshaun Prince Pistons
Prince has quietly hit double figures in scoring in five of his seven games and is averaging 12 points, four boards and a 3-pointer on the season. He's playing 33 minutes a night, so he should continue to put up similar numbers going forward.
Jeff Green Celtics
Green hasn't been great for the Celtics, but is worth a deep-league look this week with five games. He's hit double figures in three of his last five games and has blocked three shots in his last two. Again, I don't love Green in fantasy this season, but with five games, starting him over Caron Butler (2 games) or a marginal player with three games makes some sense.
Harrison Barnes Warriors
Barnes is the starting SF for the Warriors but has scored eight or less points in five of his seven games. He doesn't have more than five rebounds in any game and has blocked just one shot on the season. He has hit five 3-pointers though, and should only get better from here on out. He's not a must-own player, but should be a nice guy to own a month from now.
Others to consider: Al-Farouq Aminu (should be held in all leagues), Corey Brewer, Marvin Williams, Trevor Ariza, Marvin Williams, Marquis Daniels, Tobias Harris, Matt Barnes, Jae Crowder.
Power Forwards
Brandon Bass, Jared Sullinger Celtics
Bass and the Celtics play five games this week, making Bass a nice play in weekly leagues. He's averaging 9.5 points and 6.3 rebounds, which should mean he racks up some decent production in a five-game week. He'll block a shot every other night, but don't count on him for them. Sullinger has started in three of his last for games, but has yet to score more than six points this season. He's a decent rebounder and shot blocker, and is worth a deep-league look with the extra games.
Carl Landry Warriors
With Andrew Bogut currently shut down on his bum ankle, Landry is going to see plenty of minutes. He's averaging 27 per game and has produced scoring nights of 22, 19, 23, 20 and 17 points already this season. He's averaging nine rebounds over his last five games and the bad news is that the Warriors play just three games this week.
Jason Thompson Kings
Thompson came through with 17 points and six rebounds on Friday and had 13 points and four boards on Wednesday night. He's quietly blocked at least one shot in every game, racking up nine of them on the season. He's averaging nearly 30 minutes per game as the starting PF for the Kings, and is worth a look in all leagues. Think twice about starting him this week though, as the Kings play just three games.
Patrick Patterson, Marcus Morris Rockets
Patterson is over his early-season injury, but hasn't been able to produce consistently. After nice lines of 12 & 6 and 18 & 5, he's scored a total of 10 points with six boards over his last two games. That kind of inconsistency is disturbing, making Patterson a better guy to keep a close eye on than to drop a good player for. But he should be better this week for the Rockets. Morris is another deep-league prospect and is averaging nine points and five boards this season. Patterson should eventually ruin his value, but for now, he's worth keeping an eye on in deeper leagues.
Brandan Wright, Troy Murphy Mavericks
Brandan Wright continues to start and play well for the Mavericks, hitting double figures in scoring in every game this season but his last one, when he had eight points and eight boards on Saturday. He's averaging 11 points, five boards and a block through seven games, and while he'll eventually take a hit once Dirk Nowitzki is healthy, he's worth a deep-league look. Murphy is suddenly worth a deep-league look after scoring eight points with seven rebounds and two 3-pointers in 30 minutes on Saturday. I don't trust him, but if you're in a deep league and need a big man who can hit treys, he's at least worth keeping an eye on.
Others to consider: Derrick Favors (should be held in all leagues), Byron Mullens (ditto) Jonas Jerebko, Amir Johnson, Derrick Williams, Taj Gibson, Trevor Booker, Markieff Morris.
Larry Sanders Bucks
Sanders is quietly averaging 12 points, nine rebounds and 2.6 blocks in five games this season despite not starting a game. With Samuel Dalembert really struggling, Sanders is taking advantage of his minutes and could eventually become the starter for the Bucks. But if he can keep producing like this off the bench, he's a must-own player in all leagues.
Emeka Okafor Wizards
Okafor is averaging 10 points, five rebounds and two blocks over the last seven days, and while his free throw shooting is atrocious, he's not shooting enough of them to hurt you too badly. It looks like good centers are hard to find off the wire this season, but Okafor is worth a look as long as he's healthy.
Andre Drummond Pistons
Drummond had his breakout game on Friday with 22 points, eight boards, a steal and a block, hitting 8-of-10 shots in 21 minutes. However, in his six other games, he scored seven or less points. He's all upside and the Pistons have yet to win a game this season. They're still starting Jason Maxiell at PF, but it would make sense for them to start giving Drummond all the minutes he can handle going forward.
Spencer Hawes Sixers
Hawes keeps plugging away as Andrew Bynum remains MIA, Lavoy Allen struggles in starts, and Kwame Brown sits injured in street clothes. He's averaging 9.5 points, eight rebounds, 1.5 blocks and 0.5 3-pointers on the season, and is worth a look in all leagues, at least until Bynum is finally playing basketball again.
Zaza Pachulia Hawks
Pachulia made a rare start last week but it looks like he'll continue to come off the bench. He's averaging seven points and eight rebounds in his four games, but has yet to block a shot. They'll be coming, but unless Pachulia gets a regular starting job, he's only worth a look in deeper leagues.
Kosta Koufos Nuggets
Koufos is averaging eight points, six rebounds and two blocks as the starter in Denver, but will have to compete with JaVale McGee and Timofey Mozgov every night. He's hit double digits in scoring twice and has blocked eight shots in his last two games. I don't like the three-headed monster George Karl is playing at center, but Koufos has been a relatively safe play up to this point.
Others to consider: JaVale McGee (should be held in all leagues), Omer Asik (should be held in all leagues), Nikola Vucevic, Jonas Valanciunas, Kendrick Perkins, Meyers Leonard, Greg Stiemsma, Samuel Dalembert, Bismack Biyombo.

Not necessarily. What does VB.NET allow your apps to do that VB6
doesn't? The answer to that one question will go a long way towards
addressing the concerns you've raised in your post.

Microsoft has enough money to afford the occasional black eye. I'm
sure people like you and I do not. With that in mind, you really need
to rethink your reasons for upgrading. It does not follow that just
because you *can* upgrade that you *must* upgrade.

Parents give county schools top marks in a countywide survey conducted late last year.
The Lenawee County Superintendents Association released results of the survey about education in the county on Friday.
The survey was conducted Dec. 3-7 in telephone conversations with 1,060 randomly selected residents in the Lenawee Intermediate School District service area.
The survey was conducted for the superintendents association by independent research firm Banach, Banach & Cassidy of Ray Township in Macomb County. It has a 95 percent confidence level with a plus-or-minus 2.9 percent sampling error.
Among other questions, respondents were asked to grade the school district in which they reside using the traditional "A" through "F" grading scale.
Other questions dealt with the quality of teaching, how well the schools prepare students for careers and college, barriers to attending college and information sources about schools. The survey had 42 questions total.
The data released Friday during a news conference at the William J. Ross Education Service Center were countywide results. Superintendents also received results specific to their districts.
Among parents, 80 percent countywide gave their school district an "A" or "B" for overall performance. Among nonparents, 67 percent gave the district in which they reside an "A" or "B" overall. Just 1.5 percent of parents and 3.3 percent of nonparents gave their districts a failing grade.
Again among parents, 84 percent rated the quality of teaching in their schools "A" or "B," while 65 percent of nonparents gave those grades.
Just more than three-quarters of parents, 76 percent, gave their districts an "A" or "B" for preparing students for work and career, while 52 percent of nonparents gave those grades. Among parents, 68 percent gave an "A" or "B" for college preparation compared to 57 percent of nonparents.
The top barrier to students getting into college is the cost of college according to 48 percent of parents, while 49 percent of nonparents said the same thing.
The district website was the top source of information about schools among 18 percent of parents, followed by their children (14 percent); school publications (14 percent); and classroom teachers (10 percent).
The top information sources about schools for nonparents were newspapers (29 percent); friends and neighbors (15 percent); school board members (15 percent); students (9 percent); and school publications (9 percent).
Asked whether charter schools were a good idea or not for the county, 22 percent of parents said they are a good idea compared to 68 percent who said they are not a good idea. Among nonparents, 23 percent said charter schools are a good idea while 61 percent said they are not a good idea.
Adrian Public Schools Superintendent Chris Timmis, who is chairman of the superintendents association, said there has been a lot of legislation in the past few years affecting education policy.
"We needed to get an idea of what our community really feels," Timmis said about the motivation for the study.
Michael Osborne, superintendent for Hudson Area Schools and Morenci Area Schools, said some of the most helpful information for him came from a question on what people are most interested in at their schools — curriculum led among both parents and nonparents — and where people get their information.
Osborne heads the committee that was responsible for the survey.
Each of the 11 districts in the LISD service area contributed about $2,000 to pay for the study, said Ann Hinsdale-Knisel, community coordinator for LISD.
The survey executive summary, questions and a press release about the survey are available at the LISD website, www.lisd.us.

is not as good as SF's. Is that a blasphemous statement?
Maybe, but all the hype has gotten into these guys's heads IMO. I'm watching a superb disciplined hard hitting performance being displayed by the SF secondary on Arizona tonight. Absolutely rock solid. Yes, it's Arizona, and Fitz is out, but they have completely shut down not only their passing game but their running game as well in their house.
I think the "Legion of Boom" needs to get their crap together and start playing with a chip on their shoulder, starting this Sunday. They got a lot of proving to do again in my eyes. Can someone wake up Kam for us please?

Solange Knowles beat up brother-in-law Jay Z because he was being a bit too attentive to designer Rachel Roy at the Met Gala after-party on May 5, according to the New York Daily News.
Geez. Instead of Dobermans, they should have Solange patrolling the fence at Casa Carter
Before Knowles started whaling on Beyonce's husband in an elevator, she reportedly yelled at Roy to keep her distance, sources said.
Knowles, 27, reportedly told the designer, "Anyone who gets close to Jay has to be warned and deal with her as a sister," a source told US Magazine.
The rapper then told Knowles she was "out of line" for mouthing off to Roy.
That, obviously, was not the correct strategy. A source told the Daily News that triggered Knowles' protective side.
"Rachel is a little too close to Jay Z," the source said. "Solange doesn't like it, and Beyonce doesn't like it."
Roy used to be married to Damon Dash, Jay Z's former business partner.
Dash took to Instagram to stick up for Solange, calling her a unique soul. "I am actually impressed with her independent spirit, she seems like a fighter," he said.
Roy reportedly didn't respond well when Knowles told her she was "too close" to Jay Z, a source close to the scene said.
"Rachel is combative and a tough girl, she didn't back down," the source said.
Both Beyonce and Jay Z tried to intervene between Roy and Knowles at the Boom Boom room at The Standard hotel, and the three singers decided to leave. That's when the beatdown was captured on a video camera in the elevator.

A kill-switch, designed to make a phone inoperable if activated, is an expensive, unwieldy option with current technology, according to industry experts. The idea behind such technology is to discourage smart phone theft, a rampant problem in American cities.
San Francisco District Attorney George Gascón found out just how resistant device manufacturers were to the idea in a recent conversation with Apple. Gascón approached the hardware manufacturer after earlier talks with wireless providers went nowhere, according to Stephanie Stillman, Gascón's communications director.
Gascón's conversation with Apple did have an unlikely consequence: the news that Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, influenced the design of two forthcoming iPhone designs.
"He [Gascón] got frustrated on that conference call, because there was no will to make a kill switch," Stillman said regarding the conversations with carriers. Gascón told the SF Examiner that the "... apparent lack of interest in implementing kill-switch technology is fueled by profits."
It's no wonder the D.A. ran into trouble from the industry. "It's technically feasible, but the impact isn't high enough to drive anyone to do anything about it," said Ojas Rege, vice president of strategy at Mobile Iron.
"There's no competitive advantage to adding kill-switches," Rege said.
"I disagree with the opinion of the D.A.," Rege said, going on to explain that companies don't make money from stolen phones, they make money from new features.
Consumer and business markets are quite different, according to Rege. Unlike consumers, businesses will pay a premium for heightened security features. But what they're really concerned with isn't so much the device, but the data on the device. That's why they make sure they can wipe if a device is stolen.
The companies that work with Mobile Iron mostly use Apple devices, because that's what their employees ask for. "When the iPad came out in 2010, that was a huge shift," Rege said.
Consumers are also concerned with the data — which is why, Rege said, Apple and other manufacturers built remote wipe and tracking features. Samsung, for example, recently introduced wipe technology. But that's the most most people are willing to pay for.
"It's a demand driving economy, people buy new phones because of the cool new stuff," Rege said.
That means we're likely to see more megapixels before more security.
The practical way to go about mobile security is at the carrier level, according to Neil Shah senior analyst global wireless practice at Strategy Analytics. Although it would be a complex and difficult process, carrier-level protection using international mobile equipment identity numbers — IMEIs — would, in fact, be able to prevent stolen phones from activation. To get there, though, would require cooperation amongst carriers. Both Shah and Rege believe that to be a major challenge.
Cooperation would need to be on a global scale to prevent the resale of devices in other countries. Since there are more than 500 carriers worldwide, Shah said, that would require considerable effort. It could "slow down the [theft] process," Shah said.
Even if such a database existed, there would likely still be some countries with carriers that don't participate, making them destinations for stolen phones.
Enabling such a database, Shah said, could require a third party like a non-profit to study the problem. "They should have a solid business case," Shah told BYTE, "about what is the net impact on consumers and operators in terms of value lost [to theft]." Rege agrees with Shah that a database of stolen phones is probably the most effective way to combat the problem. But he too, acknowledged the carrier participation problem.
Until something changes, like kill-switches adding a "competitive advantage" to a smart phone, it's unlikely that D.A. Gascón's wish will be granted.
So until then, don't update your Facebook status on public transit.
Apple, LG, Samsung, Asus, and Nokia did not return BYTE's request for comment.

Triggering our age of high-stakes secrecy, explosive news leaks and the trafficking of classified information, WikiLeaks forever changed the game. Now, in a dramatic thriller based on real events, the film reveals the quest to expose the deceptions and corruptions of power that turned an Internet upstart into the 21st century's most fiercely debated organization. The story begins as WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and his colleague Daniel Domscheit-Berg team up to become underground watchdogs of the privileged and powerful. On a shoestring, they create a platform that allows whistleblowers to anonymously leak covert data, shining a light on the dark recesses of government secrets and corporate crimes. Soon, they are breaking more hard news than the world's most legendary media organizations combined. But when Assange and Berg gain access to the biggest trove of confidential intelligence documents in U.S. history, they battle each other and a defining question of our time: what are the costs of keeping secrets in a free society-and what are the costs of exposing them?"
To get showtimes, select a county to find cinemas showing this movie in your area.
It's clear that director Bill Condon at least tried to make The Fifth Estate interesting. Tight shots of fingers rapidly striking keyboards, fantasy sequences meant to represent the mysteries of how the website WikiLeaks functions, quick moments of the site's founder Julian Assange (Benedict Cumberbatch, upstaged by his white hair) espousing philosophies like: "Man is least himself when he talks with his own person. But if you give him a mask, he will tell you the truth." It's all meant to create a sensation of hackers working against time and The Man. Locations shift, often filled with shaggy, off-beat characters, like mohawked weirdos who squat in an abandoned building and throw parties.
But maybe all those years with that exposition-heavy Twilight franchise has corrupted the director's skills. No matter how quickly he edits or pans the camera, it never hides the fact that all these characters do is tell each other what they are doing. The Fifth Estate must hold the record for most use of continuous expository dialogue to serve to explain what is happening to the audience rather than show it. The characters spend more time explaining their actions, behaviors and beliefs than doing much of anything. The film just builds up to a dull, monotonous bore.
Nothing in the film will surprise anyone who knows much of anything about WikiLeaks. But, man, does Condon try to squeeze every detail in. The director even finds a moment to not only allude to a viral video of Assange awkwardly dancing but puts us there. As if Cumberbatch's noble recreation of the goofy dancing is not enough, again the usual dialogue to explain what is happening amounts. "He's like an octopus," says one of Assange's followers to Assange's once most trusted man, Daniel Berg (Daniel Brühl, giving a sincere performance of the man who wrote the book which the movie is based). They then join in, trying to mimic him.
It all feels so connect-the-dots straight, it's hard to care about these characters. When the inevitable falling out occurs between Assange and Berg, the stakes grow higher, as moral concerns of leaking information are explained to the viewer. The director then brings in a White House representative (Laura Linney) and another U.S. official (Stanley Tucci) offering the voices of the fretting government over spilled secrets and frank cables. The switching of perspectives only serves to further dilute the film, and though Linney and Tucci give nice performances, there's nowhere to go with this movie, which cannot find anything more creative to do but try to cram in as much information as possible into its bloated two-hour-plus runtime.
It's not like such an abstract battlefield as cyberspace and information is easy to represent. But, had the film focused more intimately on the rather sociopathic character of Assange instead of maintaining his enigmatic quality, the film could have felt more compelling, even if incongruently balanced. It doesn't matter how fast and frantic you wiggle your fingers over a keyboard or how loud you make the keys clack, it all gets so tired fast, especially after the twentieth close up of the same sort of image.
But Escape Plan could never be great movie because its ambitions are aimed too low. It simply wants to emulate the great 80's action movies and do nothing more. While it feels like a somewhat close recreation, cinema has moved on a long time ago. The film doesn't try to turn the genre on its head, or do anything other than copy what came before it. There are moments where the film excites and thrills, but those moments are mostly callbacks to older and better movies, where the actors were younger, and could carry off the action more convincingly. This also begs the question of just how old are we supposed to think the two leads are?
Everyone's age is showing, and with each cinematic romp through 80's action clichés, it becomes a little less believable that thes

Former Colorado running back Rashaan Salaam will tell you center Bryan Stoltenberg and the rest of the Buffs offensive linemen won the Heisman Trophy in 1994 as much as he did.
Stoltenberg helped pave the way for Salaam to rush for more than 2,000 yards and win college football's most prestigious individual award during his junior season in Boulder. He later became a consensus All-American and a NFL draft pick. Stoltenberg died Friday at his home in Sugarland, Texas while recovering from major injuries suffered last month in a car accident. He was 40.
Stoltenberg is survived by his wife, Laura, and three sons, Austin, 16; Jacob, 14; and Andrew, 11.
Legendary CU coach Bill McCartney said he was devastated by the news Friday when Stoltenberg's former teammate, fellow offensive lineman and close friend Derek West called to tell him.
"What a great kid, what a good teammate, and what a great competitor," McCartney said. "It's just tragic. I can only imagine the crushing loss his family is experiencing."
CU issued a press release late Friday afternoon about Stoltenberg's death. The school reported Stoltenberg is believed to have died from a blood clot caused by one of multiple surgeries he endured after the accident.
Several of Stoltenberg's former teammates paid tribute to him in the report from the school, including West, Salaam, Kordell Stewart, Keith Miller and Matt Russell.
"Bryan was a dear friend, loyal father, husband and an amazing teammate," West said. "While we mourn the loss of this great man, we're comforted knowing that Bryan is in a better place. I will always remember Bryan's infectious laugh and smile. He had this bigger than life aura about him and this consumed all those around him. He constantly had an upbeat attitude and outlook at everything life threw at him.
"I will greatly miss my dear friend and cherish all the memories we had on and off the field."
Stoltenberg started all 44 games during his CU career. He was only the second Buff to start every game of his career. He also became only the second center in school history to be named all-conference twice during his career. He was a named an All-American by three different organizations in his senior season in 1995.
Stoltenberg played 50 games in the NFL after being drafted by the San Diego Chargers but a knee injury cut short his career.
"I always believed that those awards were honoring all of us, and Stoli being the center was the heart of that great offensive line," Salaam said in the school's release. "They all went on to play in the NFL, that's how good that group is, and to learn that one of them is now gone is just devastating to me, to all of us."
Stewart took snaps from Stoltenberg for three seasons at CU. He said "Stoli" as he was known to friends and former teammates, meant the world to him.
"We had great chemistry," Stewart said. "I can't tell you how many times I would be running down field and if he didn't pave the way for that to happen with a great block, he was in front of me looking to make one. A great player, even a better person."
Longtime CU sports information director Dave Plati said the loss was immeasurable.
"Bryan was one of those people you take an immediate liking to," Plati said. "Personable, almost always smiling, cracked jokes when something funny needed to be said. Your stereotypical offensive lineman -- monster on the field, teddy bear off it. Teammates, coaches, fans, media, everyone loved him. This just flat out hurts, and the situation is so sad. Survives a near fatal accident and then this has to happen.
"He loved CU to the end, the family did. He proudly wore CU gear, one son is a huge CU basketball fan. On his wife's (Laura) Facebook page are their three sons, posed at an overlook on Flagstaff Mountain, with a snow covered Boulder in the background. Just how we all love it."
Services are pending, but will be either Monday or Tuesday at the Sugarland Baptist Church in the southwest suburbs of Houston (located near US 59 and Sweetwater Blvd.).

Welcome Back
Today I'd like to share another watercolour painting I recently made.
At Christmas I received a book and DVD set by Billy Showell about painting flowers. I've been studying and practicing and this was my result. I have a long way to go, but I'm pleased with my progress so far.
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon

You and me both! It's a sickness. Can't. Stop. Twittering.
I don't know if you are bringing your own stroller or not, but I am a HUGE fan of the ones that you can rent there...they really are easy to push/steer and great when the smaller kids get tired of walking.
I have to ask, what was the reaction from the younger kids when they woke up Saturday morning and you told them you were going to Disney that day instead of Monday?
When you get a hotel, do you get two adjoining rooms?
Were you able to see the Lion King show? Did you try the train?
We didn't see the Lion King show this time, but we saw it 7 years ago when we were there. It was great! And yes, we rode the train in Animal Kingdom.
SSO question for you: How did you decide to pull the kids out of school for a week for a vacation?
P.S. (Let us know how the SafetyTats work with all the swimming, sunscreen, etc.)
Do all the employees call you princess? Because I found that it doesn't matter how old you are--if you are female you are a princess in the eyes of the Disney employees, and if you are male you are a pirate. Everyone calls you princess
Are you guys using fast pass? Just wanna make sure!
Absolutely! For those who don't know, some of the more popular rides offer "fast passes". You can put your ticket in a machine near the ride, and the machine will spit out a fast pass that enables you to return to the ride later in the day and bypass the long wait line. You either have a very short wait, or sometimes you can pretty much just walk up and get on the ride.
Poor little Princess Brooklyn. What happened to her chinnie chin chin?
She tripped and hit her chin on an end table in our room. She had just woken up and was still a little loopy when it happened.
I just wanted to say you look so pretty in the family picture and you've gotten so skinny!!
You are scaring me as I plan our trip for the busiest week of the year!! How about some tips about what to do for a princess that is Brooklyn's age to make it as nice as possible? Thanks!
have your younger children had a more difficult time other than for obvious reasons?
You didn't mention the French pastry shop, my all-time must-visit place at EPCOT.
(Im asking coz of twitter update) which rides were your kids scared of and why?
Looks like you guys are having a great time! And is Miss Angie from Forida? I'm from Ohio and I spend time in North Carolina yearly. I swear everybody below the Ohio River thinks that people in the north have accents. I've been called a yankee while in NC. Then I've had people from Canada tell me I have a southern accent. Nobody can make up their mind.
Yep, Angie's from Florida and I couldn't have more of a non-accent!
I have to disagree about the Enchanted Tiki House. It may be lame, but I love it. I'm sure it's because I remember that "ride" being featured on the Wonderful World of Color in the 1960s, when Disney World was just being built, and I was fascinated by the animatronics. It's a sweet nostalgic experience for me.
I was wondering if you could share the name of the hotel you guys are staying in. My family and I are going to Disney in April and I've been looking everywhere online for a hotel/villa that offers a full kitchen and nice pools that's actually a NICE hotel. Would you be able to share that with us?
My friend Denise urged me to make dinner reservations months ago. I kept telling her that I didn't want to be tied down.
"Hungry," she said.
OK, this is just not us. Sure, maybe we could've done more with less waiting if I'd mapped everything out, but we have six kids! We have to be flexible. We've just kinda gone with the flow this week. There have been very few things we missed. We've gotten to experience tons of things in each park. Because we haven't been tied to a schedule, we've been able to take breaks, eat, go on rides, go to shows whenever we felt like it. If one of the kids was hungry or tired, it was no big deal to grab some drinks and sit down and chill out for a while. This is something to consider, I guess. What kind of family are you? Type A - must have everything planned and know what you're doing when? Or are you a more laid-back, go with the flow, play-it-by-ear type family?
We have 2 king size beds and 2 queen sleeper sofas so it's no problem.
Wow. Ok, weird that the park is closed on Fri and Sat.
Did you get in trouble when you took that picture on the Great Movie ride? I took a picture of Mary Poppins when I was on it and I was quickly reprimanded by the tour guide...."I repeat, No Flash Photography!" At which point my kids all laughed and said "Yeah, listen to the rules next time!"
To quote Ben Franklin:"Guests, and Disney family vacations, like fish, begin to smell after three days. "
I just love this face! She was in a mood (as usual).

Paramount Pictures Australia quickly deleted a tweet promoting the new "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie featuring what looks like a promotional poster displaying our four heroes falling off an exploding building.
It also showed the film's release date: 9/11.
According to TMZ, the studio posted the tweet Tuesday morning. It wasn't long before those on the Internet told Paramount that was stupid.
The website shared some of the re-tweets, including "WOW. Someone's getting fired for this"; "Did Paramount really think this was a suitable poster for a movie release on September 11th?" and "'Too soon?' 'Nah, who cares.'"
TMZ reported it reached out to Paramount for comment and, a few hours later, still hadn't heard back. Which makes sense. One can imagine something akin to a Three Stooges episode was taking place at Paramount on Tuesday morning.

The Andover Trojan football team did not let the Campus High School Colts stay ahead for long in Friday night's game. The Colts took an early 6-0 lead but Andover rallied for 41 straight points to get the easy win.
The Andover Trojan football team did not let the Campus High School Colts stay ahead for long in Friday night's game. The Colts took an early 6-0 lead but Andover rallied for 41 straight points to get the easy win.
The colts made a touchdown with 7:33 on the clock in the first quarter. Andover sophomore Bryce Bezdek prevented the Colts from scoring an extra point.
A mere 20 seconds later, Andover's Miles Starks ran for 87 yards, scoring the first touchdown for the Trojans. The point after kick by junior Tommy Fiszel was good, making the score 7-6.
A quick 13 seconds after that, senior Cole Gumeringer ran for nine yards, scoring the Trojans another touchdown, with another successful kick point by Fiszel.
The second quarter of the game saw the Trojans with several long yard runs for scoring touchdowns. Senior Steven Young ran for 70 yards late in the second quarter, bring the Trojan score to 28, seven minutes after sophomore Eli Renoux successfully ran for 66 yards.
The score remained 28-6 into halftime, where the Andover Trojan marching band and the Trojanettes stole the show for 12 minutes.
Young continued his long runs into the third quarter of the game. He ran 53 yards early in the third quarter, followed by a 31 yard run a few minutes later.
"I think I did pretty well out there," Young said after the game.
The score remained 41-6 for the rest of the third quarter and well into the fourth quarter until senior Kaiden Ivy of Campus ran for 11 yards, bringing the score to 41-12.
At the closing of the game, the scored remained 41-12, for a Trojan win. Head coach Mike Lee was happy with his team's performance.
"In a lot of ways, it was a typical first game, but I don't think we should get caught up in that," Lee said shortly after the game ended. "A win's a win. A lot of good things happened."
Lee added that his team had a lot of energy on the field and were competitive.
"I think we did a lot of good things," he said. "Tonight, I want them to enjoy that."
Young, too, was happy with the team's work during the game.
"I thought we did pretty well tonight," Young said. "There's some spots we need to clean up, and if we do that, it will make us that much better."
As for the next game, at Winfield next Friday, Lee plans to take what happened in the first game and work to improve for the second game.
"The old saying is, 'The biggest improvement comes between weeks one and two,'" Lee said. "Our guys are pretty sharp and I think they'll do a nice of, 'Here's the stuff we gotta work on,' because they've been very coachable up to this point. I know they will be this upcoming week. They'll get better, better and better."
