eBay's focus on UX pays off: mobile app review
To mark its 20th anniversary, eBay has launched a brand new version of its mobile app for Android and Apple.
eBay claims the new design provides an improved shopping experience and that browsing and buying items is now much easier. I thought I'd check it out and see for myself.
Introducing the handy Festival of Marketing mobile app
The Festival of Marketing begins in just two days time, so it's probably about time you downloaded the official app.
That's assuming you're coming of course, because if you're not then it might not be all that useful for you...
Available on iPhone, Android and Windows Phone, the festival app acts as a hub for all event information – from a comprehensive agenda of the event's 10 content streams and interactive maps, to transportation, speaker and sponsor details, and insight into what's happening at the event's Festival Village and the Digitals Awards.
Here I'll give a totally impartial run through of the main features and how it will help improve the festival experience for all attendees...
The new Google Analytics iOS app: a review
Google released its first analytics app for iOS at the end of July, which follows on from the release of a new Android version in June.
As someone who has been pinching and zooming to view our site's stats on a mobile browser, the new mobile app is more than welcome.
So how well does it work? And how does it compare to the desktop features?
iPlayer Radio is a great addition to BBC's mobile portfolio
The BBC has just unveiled a new iPlayer Radio app for iPhone, with an Android version coming soon.
It adds to the BBC's portfolio of mobile apps and extends the iPlayer brand which has been a huge success for the broadcaster.
The BBC received deserved praise for its Olympic mobile app that gave users access to a huge range of video content and news from every event at the Games.
The iPlayer Radio app therefore has a tough act to follow, but how does it stack up...
App review: P&G's Beauty Recommended
Earlier this year Procter & Gamble (P&G) announced that it was re-evaluating its $10bn ad budget to focus more on digital.
As part of its new strategy it has launched a Beauty Recommended app that is essentially a condensed version of its existing online magazine.
The app, which was developed by Grapple, offers beauty tips and trends, recommendations from make up artists and competitions. It also includes three tours of central London.
P&G calls Beauty Recommended its "breakthrough beauty app", but is it any good?
Mobile app review: Travelzoo
Deals site Travelzoo made its Android app available to UK subscribers last week following its launch in the US earlier this year.
The company has seen mobile traffic double from 10% to 20% in the past six months, and has achieved 650,000 app downloads worldwide.
The new app offers access to travel, entertainment and local deals, as well as enabling users to redeem vouchers through their smartphone.
It has already achieved more than 10,000 downloads in the Play Store, but is it any good?
App review: Naked Wines for iPhone
Naked Wines this week launched an iPhone app for use by registered customers on the site (Angels in NW parlance).
The app allows users to review wines, connect with other customers, and place orders.
Since it's a good excuse to order some more wine, I've been having a closer look at the app...
The Times: iPhone app review
The Times' iPhone app has been out for some time, but the newspaper recently relaunched the app, making it free for a limited period of time.
The newspaper says it now has more than 100,000 digital subscribers, though it doesn't say how many are subscribing via the website or on other platforms such as the Kindle and iPad.
Clearly, The Times hopes that a free preview of the mobile app will convince people to pay the £2 per week subscription when the paywall comes back down.
Carcraft: iPhone app review
Used car supermarket Carcraft launched an iPhone app recently, which allows users to search the stock from their phones, and also make a finance application.
Carcraft already has a smartphone enabled website, but the new iPhone app offers a more attractive interface, and a new 'Love this Car' feature.

It's been a little over a week since we last wrote about the rumored HTC M7, but we already have some new details about the handset that paint it in a very positive light. The new details from Unwired View match up nicely with what we reported last time and give us a closer look at what to expect from the HTC M7. According to the new report, the HTC M7 will feature an optically laminated 4.7-inch 1080p display (that's a 468ppi count for those keeping track) with a quad-core 1.7GHz Qualcomm processor, 2GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage, 2,300 mAh battery a 13 megapixel camera and a 2 megapixel front-facing camera (both capable of recording video in 1080p) running on Jelly Bean with HTC Sense 5.
The basic specs don't sound too outlandish, but HTC's enhancements for its next flagship phone will include a Cinesensor imaging chip to improve the picture quality. HTC will also add super slow-motion and HDR video capabilities to the device. Like the Droid DNA and HTC 8X, the HTC M7 will feature a Beats-designed amplifier and a set of stereo speakers for the built-in speakerphone to improve audio quality.
There are no new details about the HTC M7′s launch date, but it looks like we should expect the phone's availability to span multiple carriers. The report claims that Verizon and Sprint are already on board, but we could see the HTC M7 show up on AT&T and T-Mobile, as well.
Is a flagship Android phone on all four major US carriers with a 4.7-inch 1080p display, great camera and fairly large battery the right recipe to rebuild HTC into the powerhouse it once was?

Ritchey Comp Seatpost is a proven 2-bolt design that provides a class-leading balance between strength, weight and adjustability. Features a 25mm offset also.
RITCHEY COMP – COMP level components are designed to bring competition-worthy components down to a price that everyone can handle. You won't find carbon here, but you will find the kind of performance and reliability you expect from Ritchey.
A good quality seat post will save weight and hold your saddle securely. Seatposts are made in various materials, alloy and carbon being the two most common, alloy posts are lightweight, durable and cost efficient, while carbon posts are the popular choice for top end machines. Seat posts vary in where they hold the saddle relative to their own centre line so make sure you have enough adjustment on your saddle rails to allow for this or you could end up with your saddle too far forwards. A seat post needs to fit your frame exactly and are measured by as little as 0.2mm. When choosing a new one, either read off the measurement from your old seat post or measure it carefully with a vernier calliper. Make sure you lubricate the frame (unless they're carbon fibre) before insertion or you'll struggle to get it out again.
Ritchey is well known for ingenious mountain bikes and parts, but Tom Ritchey was building world class road frames and rethinking every part of the road bike as early as 1974---long before mountain biking came along. After decades of refinement, Ritchey road components are the lightest, strongest and highest quality parts available, and race proven by top professional teams in the world's toughest pro races. Look for Ritchey components on team bikes in the Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, World Championships and Spring Classics, as well as countless other races.

Poloncarz to replace a third of central library board
A new wave of trustees will join the board of the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library at a time when leaders of the countywide system are seeking to redefine how its 37 library branches are governed.
County Executive Mark C. Poloncarz, who has opposed the proposal to create a new library district, plans to fill a third of the 15 seats on the library's central board of trustees with new appointees. He called the nominees a "new generation of leadership."
"These are people who actually use the library system," said Peter Anderson, a spokesman for Poloncarz. "And they are individuals who will be strong proponents for the current system."
The five nominees, expected to be approved by the Erie County Legislature next week, would fill two vacant positions on the board and replace three trustees whose terms have expired. They will join the central library board as it moves forward with a plan to create an independently elected board that would oversee all of the library branches and would replace the 23 boards that now have a hand in running the system.
How the new trustees will influence that plan is unclear. County Legislator Lynn M. Marinelli, who is chairwoman of the Legislature's Community Enrichment Committee, said the nominees were asked during a committee meeting about the proposal, but several said they would need more information before commenting on it.
"My main goal is to work as part of a team to make sure the library has a sustainable future," said Teresa Glanowski, a South Buffalo resident who is among Poloncarz's nominees. "Whatever that might turn out to be."
In addition to Glanowski, who is government affairs manager for Independent Health, the new library nominees include: Michael L. Amodeo, of Lake View, an attorney who ran for State Senate last year; Kathleen Berens Bucki, of East Amherst, a library media specialist who works as a substitute teacher; Kathleen E. Burd, of Kenmore, a school clerk who has worked to raise awareness of the Kenmore Library; and Rhonda A. Ricks, of Buffalo, president of Inclusion Development Associates Inc.
"We are certainly looking forward to having new people on the board who are interested in the library and the library system," said Carol Batt, chief operating officer of the library system.
Batt said the library plans to do "intense education" sessions with the new board members once their nominations are finalized.
"We'll want to bring them up to speed, not just about the special library district, but about what the library system currently is and where we feel we need to go," Batt said.
Under the existing library system, local municipalities own most of the library buildings, and the county provides the bulk of the library funding each year. Oversight of the libraries is shared between the central board of trustees and the boards of 22 contracting member libraries.
The trustees have been working for several years toward the goal of holding a referendum to ask voters to create a special taxing district overseen by one board whose funding would no longer be controlled by Erie County lawmakers.
Poloncarz has opposed the proposal since he took office and has questioned the need for creating what he describes as a new layer of government to oversee the libraries. The plan would require action by the State Legislature in Albany before a public vote could be held.

How fitting that the last review of the year should be a Hotel Chocolat product!? Having never even tried a Hotel Chocolat product before this year, I sure am pleased to have now tried a good deal of their range this year - long may it continue! This is a bit of a cheeky review as these Champagne truffles were actually meant to be gifted this Christmas, but sadly they didn't survive sitting around my University dorm until I got home - shame on me! I have reviewed these as one as I didn't personally perceive too much of a difference between the two variants.
I bought these truffles in packs of eight, which although a little pricey would have made fantastic gifts if they had made it that far haha! The outer packaging for both was quite cute. The outer boxes radiated the usual Hotel Chocolat class, whilst the inner packaging included plastic trays, paper protective layers and branded thin plastic sheaths. In the picture above the slightly darker coloured truffle was the 'Pink Champagne' variant (on the left), whilst the 'Original Champagne' were slightly lighter in colour and contained a greater layer of fine sugar on the outside. Both truffles radiated nice smells, which were predominately cocoa led but had slight hints of alcohol.
I won't beat around the bush, these were tremendous truffles. The outer milk chocolate layers were thick and provided a nice crispness to the texture. The outer dusting sugar didn't distract from the milky, cocoa flavours from the chocolate that seemed to grow in intensity as the melt progressed. What I particularly liked about these truffles was that the boozy flavours of the centres didn't invade the taste of the outer chocolate, so the flavours of the truffles showed real progression. As I have said above there was very little difference between the taste of the two variants, though the 'Pink Champagne' truffles did seem to have a slightly more tart, stronger champagne influence. The truffles centres were nowhere near the smoothness of Lindt Lindors, but had a rather more viscous dexterity. To be honest I found this a nice change, and the denser texture meant that the flavours lasted longer in the mouth. The strength of the centres were really quite strong for alcoholic chocolates, though the creamy flavours of the chocolate meant they never became over dominating. These were rich truffles, and two at a time provided a nice little treat.
Overall it is a bit of a shame I never got to give these away as gifts, as I am sure they would have put a smile or two on the receivers faces. Those who enjoy their liqueur truffles will really enjoy these. The chocolate as ever was of a superb quality, and the centres supplied some longing, strong boozy flavours. For my money there is very little difference between the two variants, though I am sure the 'Pink Champagne' truffles will prove very popular with the females.
8.4 out of 10
I would like to take this opportunity to everyone who has contributed to the site so far. It is amazing how the site has grown since its creation. Tomorrow will mark the sites 1st Birthday! I have been a little busy as of late, but do not fear a competition with a load of goodies will be arranged very soon. So anyway ... thanks again and I hope you continue to enjoy the site as I enter the 2nd year of trying to find 'the best chocolate bar in the world'.

Stemmaweb is a set of tools that has grown out of the Tree of Texts, a CREA ("creative research") project funded by the KU Leuven. The tools were developed variously within the project, on behalf of the project by Shadowcat Systems, and in collaboration with the Interedition project. The source code for all tools and associated libraries is available on Github.
All tools are free for scholarly (nonprofit) use and adaptation. Although some data may be viewed publicly without a user account, use of the tools with your own data is possible only by registering as a user. You may log in with a Google account or another OpenID account, or you may register with a local username and password for use on the site. The Tree of Texts project and KU Leuven retain rights to uploaded text traditions only insofar as it is necessary to store and back them up, display them according to the stated preferences, and analyze them with the tools provided and linked.
Introduction to Geographic Information SystemsGeographic Information Systems (GIS) are tools for the input, analysis and output of spatial data. Geographers initially used these tools for resource management purposes (Burrough 1986). Over the last decade, GIS applications have revolutionized many disciplines in many ways (Marble, 1990), though some disciplines adopted them earlier than others. In the field of archeology, GIS has barely reached the end of the experimental stage. Although it was used fairly regularly in the early 1980?s, (Kvamme, 1996) its present utilization has dramatically increased. At the time this paper was written, over 500 archaeologists worldwide were registered GIS users with the online database "GIS-using archaeologists", developed byPaul Miller and Ian Johnson in 1995. It is suspected that the actual number of GIS users in the archaeology circle is substantially higher.
Archeology, as a spatial discipline, has used GIS in a variety of ways. At the simplest level, GIS has found applications as a database management for archaeological records, with the added benefit of being able to create instant maps. It has been implemented in cultural resource management contexts, where archaeological site locations are predicted using statistical models based on previously identified site locations. It has also been used to simulate diachronic changes in past landscapes, and as a tool in intra-site analysis; although this last application has not enjoyed the same popularity as the others.

Compounding & Pharmacists
Pharmacists: Are you looking for a new direction?
Have you ever had a patient or a prescriber report that a patient had difficulty taking a medication as directed?
Do you wish you had more ways to use your pharmacy skills, knowledge, and creativity to work with your patients and prescribers to solve their unique medication challenges?
You're not alone! Pharmacy compounding has allowed many pharmacists to find their niche as medication problem-solvers. The "one-size-fits-all" nature of many mass-manufactured medications means that some patients' needs are not met by those products.
Many patients experience issues such as:
- Stomach upset when taking oral medication
- Reluctance to take the medication due to its taste
- Issues with the route of administration, such as difficulty swallowing pills
- Allergy, sensitivity, or other aversion to ingredients such as flavors or dyes, lactose, sugar, alcohol, gluten, or casein.
- Requiring a different dose of medication than that which is available from a manufacturer
- Difficulty keeping track of multiple medications
- Patients who need a medication that has been discontinued by the manufacturer
- Patients who don't want to take medication at all, especially children or pets
A compounding pharmacist may be able to provide solutions for challenges such as these. Working closely with the patient and the prescriber, compounding gives the pharmacist the means to customize medication to meet the individual needs of each patient.
At one time, all medications were compounded. Over the past few decades, compounding has experienced a renaissance as modern technology and innovative techniques and research have allowed more pharmacists to customize medications to meet specific patient needs.

Even after cooling off for 24 hours, Cecil Shorts was still hot.
The Jacksonville wide receiver was upset about how often he had the ball thrown his way — five — in the Jaguars 27-14 loss Sunday night to the Arizona Cardinals. Shorts had just one catch (for 11 yards) in the first 57 minutes of the game. He didn't have another pass thrown his way until there were only four minutes left in the game, something he called "dumb, that's dumb period."
On Monday, Shorts said he was sticking by his comments from the day before.
"I'm not going to back down on what I said," Shorts said. "It is what it is."
Shorts, however, there are no problems between him and quarterback Chad Henne.
"No, no, Chad's my guy, I love Chad to death," Shorts said. "We trust each other. There's no problem with Chad. He's doing what he's being told. I respect Chad and got all my support from him."
Shorts tried to clarify his comments, saying he didn't want to create any controversy around the 1-9 Jaguars.
"I just want to help my team get better and improve. I can do that by getting the ball," he said. "I'm not trying to start anything, nothing like that. I'm not that type of guy. I'm a competitor."
Henne also said there was no problem between him and Shorts. He said he was following directives from the coaching staff and was going through his progressions on the pass plays that were called.
"It's always tough when a guy reaches out and says he's not getting the ball and plays aren't being called" for him to get the ball, Henne said. "Would I like to get him the ball in some more cases? Sure, but you can't blame it on the play-calling. If it's his chance to get the ball, he'll get the ball.
"We thought we had some good match-ups with some other receivers. We knew Patrick Peterson was a good corner. How many times were we willing to test him was really the key. I feel Cecil's frustrations. Sometimes somebody else's number is called; you got to be a team player."
Jacksonville plays at Houston on Sunday.
Shorts comments were the first public criticism by a Jaguars player of anyone connected with the organization this season. Taking a cue from the positive approach exhibited by coach Gus Bradley from the start of training camp through the team's 1-9 start, there has been little dissension within the locker room up to this point.
Bradley said he's since talked to Shorts and the team about the situation.
"I think that each individual has to be a little bit leery, a little bit quick to judge, because sometimes things like that can portray him in a bad light," Bradley said. "And I think we talked about making sure you protect the team, protect the environment. But I understand his frustrations. I think my concern would be this; if he were trying to drag other guys down with him, now I have a concern."
Bradley also emphasized the importance of not making situations like the Shorts' comments, common-place in the locker room.
"Let's not make this a habit where everybody has free rein to say those things, we don't want that," Bradley said. "With that, I would appreciate if he would be smart about how he handles those things."
Notes: Bradley said that linebacker Paul Posluszny had been cleared to return to practice. Posluszny missed Sunday's game with Arizona due to a concussion. It was the first game in three years he's missed after making 41 consecutive starts.

In this case of David vs. Goliath, Goliath wins.
An undocumented immigrant from Mexico sues Bank of America after he's nearly deported when his bank manager turns him over to authorities.
Lawyers for Luis Martinez ask: Do you want your banker acting as a de facto immigration agent?
They file a complaint on Martinez's behalf in federal court alleging negligence, discrimination and other civil rights offenses by BofA.
But on Wednesday, a federal judge in San Francisco, Charles E. Breyer, brought a stop to it all, granting Bank of America's motion to dismiss Martinez's complaint.
The bank's lawyers persuaded the judge to throw out the case based on a California statute that allows a defendant to make a motion to dismiss a suit if it is based on activity protected by the Constitution.
"Reporting suspected criminal activity to the police is a protected activity," Breyer wrote.
And what criminal activity was that? The 34-year-old Martinez was never prosecuted for any crimes by Yuba County authorities. He was turned over to federal immigration authorities, who began deportation proceedings on him – but that never should have happened.
Just months after Martinez's arrest, John Morton, director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, instructed his agency to consider a range of factors when exercising prosecutorial discretion. They include whether the immigrant has lived in the United States for years, avoided trouble with the law, avoided previous deportations and has a child who is a U.S. citizen.
Martinez qualifies on all counts. The federal goal is to prosecute the rapist and the drug dealer over the gardener and the cook.
It didn't matter in Martinez's case.
BofA invoked California's anti-SLAPP statute – SLAPP being an acronym for Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation. Individuals typically use the statute to dismiss cases that threaten their First Amendment rights.
In this case, lawyers for the biggest bank in America won on a free speech defense.
The outcome illustrates what is wrong with our immigration laws. States like California have a strong need for cheap labor in industries such as agriculture, hospitality and gardening services, the very types of jobs Martinez always did.
But there is no way for law-abiding immigrants such as Martinez to establish legal residency in the United States in our "deport them all" political culture.
Martinez had been a client of BofA for 14 years. He had a mortgage and two other accounts with the bank and had lived a quiet, hardworking life as a cook and gardener in Sacramento.
His incarceration destroyed his finances and subjected his family to the foreclosure of their home. When he was arrested in February 2011 at a BofA branch in Marysville, he said, his 6-year-old daughter watched in horror as her father was handcuffed. He was soon shipped to a federal jail in New Mexico. The soft-spoken Martinez still weeps at the memory of his ordeal.
Through his hard work here, he had bought a house and said he had taxes taken out of his checks for years. This is a point that should be noted for those who feel guys like Martinez are ripping off the system.
And, despite the national furor over immigration, banks blatantly have catered to immigrant customers.
If you're an immigrant, you don't have to show U.S. identification to open an account. You can use ID from your own country.
"Reports have stated that in some cases, illegal immigrants are able to sign up for the bank's products and services. These reports are true," Ken Lewis, BofA's former chief executive officer, said in a 2007 Wall Street Journal commentary.
It's big business. Fox News reported that more than $21 billion was sent from the United States to Mexico in 2010.
But in his ruling, Breyer wrote: "Martinez has not alleged that the Bank made any representations specifically to him about the availability of banking services to undocumented immigrants."
Yeah, your honor. Banks, employers, politicians and others don't advertise that they do business with the undocumented.
They just do it.
Meanwhile, Martinez was actually guileless enough to use the same fake Social Security card he had used for years – the one in his name. The U.S. Supreme Court and other courts have ruled recently that such use of Social Security cards is not a crime or identity theft.
In fact, the act of being in the United States without documentation is, in many instances, a civil matter, not a criminal offense.
Yet Martinez's life was destroyed anyway. Unmoved, Breyer wrote: "It is obvious from the complaint that the Marysville Police arrested him for something."
Yeah, they arrested Martinez because the bank called the cops on him.
He's undocumented, which means everyone makes money off you and then you have no legal recourse when they take everything away.
Hopefully, BofA won't stick Martinez with legal fees, too.

I am a mathematician by training and have been employed by the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai, India as a professor of mathematics since September 1996. More details about me can be found at my web page http://www.imsc.res.in/~kapil.
A brief history of my involvement with Linux (pre-Debian)
I began using GNU software while I was at the University of Chicago in the academic year 1990-91. At that time I started using the DOS ports of various GNU packages until I found out about Minix. In bought and installed Minix in Jan-Feb 1991 on a PC-XT that I had then (and so I was not interested much in 386 Minix).
On my return to India and TIFR September 1991, Mumbai I found that our department had acquired a 386 and so I installed 386 Minix on it --- to work on at night as it was used as a DOS machine by day! At that point I began getting interested in the ports of "gcc", "emacs" and "TeX". I also set up a UUCP client service to receive mail directly on the Minix partition.
We wanted to switch all the users to full-time use of Minix on this machine but were stuck because along with DOS there was a preview utility for TeX but on Minix there was only MGR. We hacked on MGR to get it working for the EGA card this machine had and so we had a workable DOS alternative. We thought it was only a matter of time before people saw that Minix (with mostly GNU tools by now) was a better than DOS but had mis-calculated "user inertia" and the charm of "solutions developed by specialists instead of hobbyists (sic)".
It was only a matter of time before we realised that 386 Minix had other problems --- no proper networking, no X and the difficulty of porting software that depended on a proper Posix-ish environment. So in August 1992 we installed Linux using the two/three diskette GCC-kit that was available from Sunsite. Porting (except networking) was no longer an issue. When networking came to Linux we still didn't have ethernet and so we hacked a bit on the "PPP" that was developed in a separate mailing list starting with Fred van Kampen's Minix code base.
In 1993 I moved to Bangalore set up some basic networking at the TIFR centre there; it was again based on GNU/Linux. In March 1994 I acquired my own 386 and installed some non-distro form on GNU/Linux on it (or perhaps it was SLS or Slackware; I don't really remember). On this PC I developed an "Xterm-on-a-floppy" that was installed for a while on the desktop machines at the Statistics and Mathematics Unit, ISI Bangalore. These were clients for a "server" that had TeX and e-mail services in addition to some X clients.
In September 1996 I moved to Chennai and the IMSc and better network speeds. I could finally download Debian 0.93r6 (or so I remember) for my 386 which I had heard of through the "grapevine". The machines at the IMSc were a combination of Sun/Solaris and SGI/Irix. After struggling with porting GNU and other Free (as in Mukta) software installed and working on them, I finally convinced the local Computer Committee to buy some Pentium machines in early 1997.
Member of the Debian User community
Thus I have been a member of the Debian User community since around 1996. Locally I have also advocated that our Computer Centre run Debian-based servers for the reasons given below. We currently run mail exchangers, DNS servers, a web server, squid cache, a remote access machine and a firewall; all are Debian machines. In fact, except for a brief period when our firewall machine was based on LFS, all the newer servers at IMSc have run Debian. Since the release of "sarge" we are also migrating most desktops to Debian as well (they used to run various versions of RedHat or Mandrake or Debian until now).
For a brief while, I installed Debian on an old SPARC machine which ran our web-mail service (this has been moved to a Pentium machine now). I also worked with the Debian Hurd port for a while. Thus, you could say I have (just a little) experience with no ix86 ports of Debian.
An itemised list of why I have advocated Debian for our machines
In no particular order:
We can file bug reports --- and have done so. One can track the progress of one's bugs.
Documentation is more detailed than for any other distribution.
It is policy-driven. This means that if a file is found in a particular place there is a reason for it. If the system administrator wants to over-ride it it can be done systematically.
We can participate in the development process. Sad to say we have not done much so far.
Stability. Since IMSc was a priori a Solaris/Irix place, it was important to ensure that "PC's crash frequently" and "things often don't work" do not take hold as reasons to continue buying expensive hardware.
Takes its DFSG seriously. In particular, this ensures that any work put into the systems remains available to everyone everywhere.
Why I would like to be a Debian Developer
Again in no particular order:
To live up to (4) above. More specifically, if there are packages that we use here regularly that are in need of help we should provide it.
There are very few DD's sitting out here in India. On the other hand (when I taught an O/S course for example) I find a number of young students who could easily contribute if ... I have in mind some form of an infrastructure to get them involved.
To simplify the upload of the package (tex4ht) that I maintain and others (elvis, mancala) that I am thinking of adopting.
To formalise my involvement with Debian so I can justify spending more time developing it.

Everybody loves to redecorate rooms every now and then. Is not it amazing how sometimes just a few added touches can transform a room and give it a totally different look? Its fun to add different touches to a room to bring that added touch of style and pizazz but who has the money these days to totally redecorate a room? There are all kinds of things to buy such as flooring, furniture, window fixtures, and the list goes on and on.
There are tons of chairs in the market, but there is no definite chair that suits everybody. It all depends on your size and how long you will be sitting on the it. Meshed, plastic, metal, wooden, foamed, fabric, or leather - all of these will give you different levels of comfort. Leather chairs, for example, are some of the most popular because they cushion your back and bottom evenly. They are also easy to maintain because they are waterproof. If you accidentally spill your coffee on a lether it, you can just wipe it and sit on it again without having to wait for it to dry up. The same thing goes with fabric upholstered chairs.

Chucks look to turn the page against Clearfield
A day after the Chucks allowed 11 runs in the fourth inning against Altoona, Punxsy will take the field once again against the Clearfield Bison. While the Bison's record may not show it, they've had a number of one-run losses on the year. The Chucks will look to rebound from their 13-4 loss on Thursday with a win to kick the weekend off right.

Second Annual "The Best..."
The best special event we've held in the last year
We hosted our NACUFS Regional Meeting last March, and the Dining Services team turned our marketplace servery into an upscale catering area with multiple platforms. We had a shrimp and grits station, a cold seafood bar, a smoked brisket and barbecue station, and an incredible dessert station with a variety of selections and in-house produced candies. Add a great band and everyone had a wonderful time.
—Dee Hardy, director of auxiliary services, University of Richmond, Richmond, Va.
Location for a catered event
The Gerald R. Ford Presidential Museum in Grand Rapids, Mich. We did two holiday events there and the museum was decorated with Christmas trees. There is a large space and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the Grand River. The museum staff was great and they had the best receiving area as far as food goes. The atmosphere was what made it so special.
—Randy Sparrow, director of food, nutrition and environmental services, Indiana University Health, Bloomington, Ind.
The Best, Sneakers Catering event we've done
We held a Suits and Sneakers Gala, which was a benefit reception and dinner for Coaches vs. Cancer, with proceeds going to the American Cancer Society. The event was held on the basketball court of Stegeman Coliseum. It was a very formal event with the exception that everyone wore athletic shoes. The white-gloved servers circulated throughout the crowd of 400 guests with items like bacon-wrapped scallops with red pepper coulis, risotto cakes with lemon aïoli and beef bourguignonne in puff pastry. For dinner we served Maryland-style crab cakes with tarragon remoulade and petite filet mignon with red wine demi-glaze with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and asparagus bundles. The event was upbeat and fun despite it being very upscale.
—Jeanne Fry, director of food services, Bolton Dining Commons, University of Georgia, Athens, Ga.
Theme for a catered event
Food around the world. I attended an event that had a bunch of stations, and each station featured food from different parts of the world and the different cooking styles from those countries.
—Tim Prosinski, Director of food services, Berlin Public Schools, Berlin, Conn.
Specialty menu item we've created for a catered event
A compressed watermelon with basil salt. I loved this one because it was born from the mother of invention. I made it for a last-minute catering event from what we had available. It was the middle of summer and this little appetizer exemplified the bounty of the summer. It was unexpected and took people by surprise.
—Eric Eisenberg, executive chef, Swedish Health Services, Seattle

Our Producers
Personal relationships are what brought each of us to food–from knowing our farmers on a first name basis, to sharing homemade meals with loved ones at the table. Not many grocers can say they are on a first-name basis with both their guests and the people behind the products on their shelves, but we can. Here's a random smattering of our Market staff. Say hi when you see us in the store!
Our Producers
4505 Meats
Ryan Farr of 4505 Meats works directly with local farmers to source the highest quality meats for famous and local favorites like chicharrones and uncured hot dogs.
Baia Pasta
Renato Sardo and Dario Barbone of Baia Pasta realized that the only dried pasta they could find in the States was bland, made with industrial flours, and not very flavorful - so they started an artisan American pastasciutta company in Oakland using organic flours from North America and and brass-cut dies.
Bi-Rite Public Label Jams
Shakirah Simley combines her New Yorker obsession with quality, the bounty of the Bay Area and a hint of Italian flair into jams and preserves for Bi-Rite's Public Label.
BN Ranch
Bill Niman of BN Ranch raises the finest grass-fattened beef around (big hint: it's seasonal!) as well as the heritage and broad breasted turkeys we offer for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Our sustainable seafood purveyor Jimmy "The Shrimp" Galle of Gulfish brings southern hospitality to new heights in his support of fellow Gulf fishermen, and Monday night meals to San Francisco's neediest.
Kalona Supernatural
Bill Evans' Kalona Supernatural is an outstanding organic line of cream-top milk, yogurt, cottage cheese and sour cream using dairy from small, sustainable Midwest farms, mostly run by Amish and Mennonite farmers who tend herds of no more than 35 cows.
Kathleen, Della Fattoria
Amazing Bread!
Petaluma, CA
La Quercia
Herb and Kathy Eckhouse, founders of Iowa-based La Quercia, promote life, liberty and the prosciutto of happiness with their lovingly-made Americano cured meats.
Marc, Alder Lane Farm
Eggs, Apples, Vegetables
Cotati, CA (Sonoma County)
Marchini Ranch
The farmers at Marchini Ranch painstakingly grow uber-sweet "mountain" stone fruit at 2,800 ft. elevation in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
Noosa Yoghurt
Australian brothers Grant and Paul Mathewson of Noosa Yoghurt now have a legion of dairy devotees with their line of addictively creamy, naturally delicious Aussie-style yogurts made at family-owned and operated Morning Fresh Dairy in Bellvue, Colorado.
Olympic Provisions
Elias and Michelle Cairo of Olympic Provisions in Portland, OR bring old-world style cured meats to new world plates with tender, flavorful pork salumi.
Pyramid Valley Vineyards
Mike and Claudia Weersing of Pyramid Valley in New Zealand, go beyond the kiwi status quo of Sauvignon Blanc with their excellent (and biodynamic!) Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
Ryme Cellars
Husband and wife winemaking team Ryan and Megan Glaab of Ryme Cellars in Healdsburg may compromise on some things, but never on quality with their aromatic Vermentino and elegant Cabernet Sauvignon.
Skyhill Farms
The team at Skyhill Farms keeps it mighty fresh with artisanal goat cheese delivered to us within 3 days of being made in nearby Napa.
Sunbud Bakery
Bi-Rite regular and newbie producer Atsuko Watanabe of Sunbud Bakery churns out gluten-free buckwheat cookies into nutty, earthy, toasty goodness in San Francisco.
Tom, Monterey Fish
Monterey, CA
Tomatero Farms
Farmer Chris does awesome job growing our staple crops at Tomatero Farm in Watsonville, including his famously delicious dry farmed early girl tomatoes!

Mike Lee, Please Read Sun Tzu
Sun Tzu probably had no idea that his treatise "The Art of War" would still be often cited and respected over 2500 years after his death. It's a masterpiece of strategic thinking that applies to any conflict be it military, political, or even athletic. The United States armed forces have even gone so far as to require that the book be in each unit's library. One of the most prescient quotes from the works is "victorious warriors win first and then go to war, while defeated warriors go to war first and then seek to win." Mike Lee seems to have completely skipped this part when agitating for a government shutdown.
I get why he's doing it. Federal programs, once enacted, are very difficult to undo no matter how unpopular they get. If you don't believe it, remember that a "temporary" phone tax enacted for the Spanish-American War was repealed sometime during the Bush Administration. For them, this is the last stand before a program they legitimately believe to be horrible rolls forward. The House is following because elections matter. It's no coincidence that in the two federal elections after the ACA passed, the opposition party took control of the House. They rode in on a promise to undo the ACA, and they're determined to fulfill it. If they don't fight hard enough for the base, they'll get replaced.
The problem is that while a shutdown could have potentially been a Battle of Rorke's Drift, it's starting to look a lot more like The Alamo. Lee has to be smart enough to know that a shutdown was coming and when it would happen. Given those circumstances, you'd think he would have laid the groundwork for explaining the issues with the federal budgeting process, the unworkability of creating new entitlements beyond the reach of Congress (which now comprises a full 2/3 of federal spending), and why playing a game of chicken to see who blinks first would be the best way to force the hand of a dug-in Senate and President. Instead, absolutely no narrative or purpose to the shutdown was created and the first to market ideas are now the defining narrative. Lee can't even properly capitalize on the ham-fisted way in which national parks are being closed down, a prime piece of low-hanging fruit.
The failure to figure out how to win before picking the fight never ends well. It has already distracted media attention away from the train wreck that is the ACA launch and numerous stories about huge premium increases, both things that would build popular support for 2014 and beyond to eliminate the ACA. About the only silver lining is that the two parties have pretty clearly defined who owns the ACA and its attendant problems. I wonder if Mike Lee will find a way to screw that up too.

Davis said proposals to expand the tour should be explored - but with Barry Hearn as chairman instead.
Rather than selectively quoting Davis, I run his quotes from this morning's interview verbatim below:
"This announcement is off the back of the fact that in six days there's an AGM and a lot of the players are very frustrated that there are only six ranking events for them to play in during the year – only six – and all of a sudden the board are looking for a way to get votes because there's a very real possibility there will be a no confidence vote.
"Interestingly, Barry Hearn has said that if enough players vote for no confidence in the board he will be happy, should the players want him to, to try and resurrect snooker like he's effectively done to darts.
"So we're in a situation with only a week to go where there's a bit of political manoeuvring going on. However, it's not the board's idea, this tour, it's an outside operation who have decided that perhaps it could work so it is worth exploring.
"So the bottom line for the players is who you want to do the negotiating for you: do you want the board who have got us down to six ranking events for the season or do you want Barry Hearn to negotiate on your behalf as somebody who has turned darts into a multi-million pound sport?
"There has been disquiet, it must be said, about the current set up of the board. Nothing personal, just whether they are competent enough.
"The actual (tour) idea is not of the board's making so there is the possibility that there could be something on the horizon but the trouble is if the board are trying to make it sound like it's their idea then they're wrong.
"But it needs to be explored because if there was the possibility that there could be 15 or 20 events around the world of different standing then the players would obviously jump at it. Effectively it's a case of in the end, if there was a proposal on the table, do you want the board who have not exactly been fantastically viewed by the players in the last few years or is there another avenue?
"Of course this also comes off the back of the financial report that's just come out and it appears, going from what Clive Everton's told us recently through his Snooker Scene magazine, that they've done a bit of a banking industry, that while the money for the players has gone down that the board have been paid more.
"For that reason alone when we come to the AGM next week I'll be voting no.
"Morale amongst the players has been so low recently, so desperate, even players ranked in the 20s and 30s really thinking about getting jobs because they're not getting any prize money out of only six events a year. They've really lost confidence and that's what the AGM will really be about.
"The problem is, something comes on the table that sounds great, the players are in such a weak situation that they may jump at any chance, and it is a credible sort of idea that may come alive but you need somebody who actually has some nous in the business world to try and negotiate on your behalf and I'm not absolutely sure whether we've got the right people in.
"We've been down this road before, getting rid of boards, getting in another board, hoping that the next board comes along but snooker, morale wise among the players, has never been worse."

Thanks for sharing this, Dave! I had been surprised by Steve's reaction as quoted by the WSA (and partly by the BBC). They really must have distorted what he'd actually said by just picking those comments that were to their liking. This sounds much more like him!

For me, the most important people in this are the players. Its nice to see a player, all be it a very influential one, coming forward & sharing their opinion on this....

great comments from super steve but the players are responsible too. they have made terrible decisions in the past and when you look at the sport's viewing figures, it is surreal that snooker is in such a state.
one thing should be reiterated: darts has done well largely by selling its entire operation to Sky.
i think there are lots of people who do not want Sky because it is a major rip off. you can the say the EPL is great or you can say it is soulless, predictable, has stupid kick off times and is wildly over priced. lets not start on the atmosphere at some grounds.
all i say is that the darts route is overrated and I hope IMG's plans don't involve sacking off the beeb.

Glad to see the real views of Davis. People were fooled yesterday into thinking that Davis had pledged support to Walker and that Hearn had given up interest in reviving snookers fortunes of the back of Davis happening to say he was in favour of the new tour (if it happened)
As Davis says here tho, he is still voting no next week, this last gasp desperate attempt to save Walkers skin wont fool the players thankfully. Davis, Higgins and the other influencial players should be out there cavasssing to the other players who perhaps are a bit more naive that Walker is all talk and no action, and a vote for him is simply a vote to line Walkers pockets for a few more years at the expense of the future of the game.

Who writes the WSA articles? They've made in sound like Steve Davis is happy with the current running of WSA, whereas the radio interview shows otherwise.
- 11:49 am
who manages Steve Davis?
- 11:55 am
Dave. I'm sure your mentioned previously that only a certain % of players have cast a vote at previous AGM's. Do you have that figure to hand for us to view again?
I'd certainly like to think with the current issue at hand, a very high % of players will be turning out to vote on this occasion.
- 12:02 pm
Do you think Steve might get involved in running snooker at some point in the future Dave?
- 2:27 pm
Wasn't it Davis who in his commentary at this year's Masters was decrying the newspaper reports that snooker was dying? How times have changed in less than a year! If the players have such a hypocrite as Davis standing up for them they have no credibility left whatsoever.

I believe the electorate is madeup of 72 - the top 64 for the last two years plus the board

World Snooker are being beaten to the punch(line) time and again here. They need some help - and need someone a bit more street-wise and ruthless in charge of their press and media.
Who knows, one of their own may even be able to help them on that one.

PATERSON, N.J. - April 1, 2013 --The New Jersey man who just won a $338 million Powerball jackpot has resolved a child support warrant.
Pedro Quezada appeared Monday afternoon in state Superior Court in Paterson.
Authorities had said the 44-year-old Passaic resident owed about $29,000 in back support. During the court hearing, officials said Quezada had paid about $30,000 to settle the debt.
Quezada claimed a lump-sum payment last week worth $221 million, or about $152 million after taxes.
The unpaid child support payments dates to 2009. But it's not clear which of Quezada's five children are covered by the payments.

Muji, Japan
2006 — 2010
Cooling fans are one of those objects that often find themselves in the middle of a room – where all sides are seen. And it is clearly apparent that with most of these types of products, as soon as they are introduced into a room, the feeling or atmosphere becomes sad and unfortunate. To stem this problem as much attention was paid to the back of the product, as to the front. Under significant component constraints, much of the design work was a process of careful negotiation with engineers, to ensure that the principles of simplicity important to Muji were maintained – for instance the fan motor and gear system had to be re-configured so as to obtain a perfectly smooth cylinder, expressing the force of a motor, reminiscent to a jet engine.
The remote control rested in the base when not in use, similar to a puzzle piece. Adjustable heights from 84cm to 104cm, with control settings for speed, direction and rhythm – a function that modulated air flow similar to a breeze.
The design proved to be a best seller for Muji and it allowed them to invest in a smaller version, that was added to the range in 2008.

Bath Radio
Muji, Japan
2009 —
Unlike other manufacturers, Muji applies itself to many territories of products, from food and clothing, to health and beauty and to electronic products – always making sure that what is produced has a lasting relevance and an appropriateness to its setting. It was these last two territories – health and beauty and electronic products – that allowed Industrial Facility to pose the question as to whether a bath radio could be a simple extension of their successful refillable bath wash range, that used a combination of high quality bottles with a replenishing sachet system.
The connection between a radio and a shampoo bottle might seem absurd at first, but if both are viewed as things we consume during bath time, it is perhaps quite relevant. It was certainly a fine line, and one which Industrial Facility have continued to pose ever since their Second Telephone for Muji some 10 years ago.
The Muji Bath Radio 'borrowed' the form of the Muji refillable Shampoo bottle which was introduced in 2003. The speaker also relates to the size of the shampoo sticker. Radio controls were carefully considered in terms of use – the on/off and volume control is at the top; and the channel selection is underneath. This is because it acknowledges that in the environment of a bathroom, the radio channel is rarely changed. The sound quality is enough for the purposes of a shower or bath, and with water resistant sealing it is not affected by moisture, like regular radios.

Coffee Maker
Muji, Japan
2006 -
An opportunity arose at Muji, to investigate an affordable small capacity coffee maker that would involve a stainless steel insulated pot, made possible by a new relationship with Toshiba. With the help of Kazushige Miyake who had a sound knowledge of the principles of coffee machine manufacture, we proposed a cylindrical tower, purposefully ignoring existing componentry, and instead being informed by the landscape of use, namely the kitchen. A cylinder meant that it could rightly sit in a corner or on a central counter, resembling the types of items already found in a kitchen.
The design was presented as a simple cardboard tube to explain its concept. It was accepted on the spot. This was followed with proposals for all of the mechanics, water filtration, and in particular, a concept for 'wrapping' the water resorvoir around the coffee filter. The design went on to become one of Muji's most popular products with its customers, and continues to be in production with minor improvements made in 2010.

Muji had recently made an alliance with a glassmaker in Austria, and asked us to explore a range that would typify Muji and the qualities that should transcend from domestic use. It turned into a collection that spanned everyday water glasses, white and red wine, beakers and candle holders. The defining elements were a very thin edge, made possible from the factory's knowledge of crystal, and a shared angle of form that allowed stacking and light holding.
Low Sofa
Muji, Japan
2004 - 2006
At the time of a re-examination of sofas for Japnese homes, Muji had noticed the growing popularity of a 'low' sofa – one that is slightly above floor level, but not as high as the western style. Industrial Facility responded to this by creating a 'low sofa program' that splits the arm-rest and seat into two separate and rotatable elements. The advantage was extreme flexibility in use and arrangement – made possible because the armrest and back could be kept on the same level, because of the low ergonomic seating position. Seats could be combined or changed depending on needs, while the result appeared as a set and complete piece of furniture.

Loco Syndicate
While better classified as a joint business venture between several criminals, the Loco Syndicate was a collective outfit dealing with drugs, primarily cocaine. The Syndicate had its main operations based in San Fierro, and was made up of San Fierro's most powerful pimp Jizzy B., the leader of the San Fierro Rifa; T-Bone Mendez, and the mysterious businessman (later revealed to be an undercover Government agent) Mike Toreno. Former Grove Street Family OG Big Smoke, who started up a large crack-cocaine empire, would later establish a business deal with the Syndicate, sending his number two man, Ryder, and his formal representative to conduct business. The Loco Syndicate was the largest drug cartel in San Fierro and one of the most powerful in San Andreas, before Carl Johnson killed Ryder, Jizzy B. and T-Bone Mendez. When the Loco Syndicate was consequently disbanded, Toreno returned to his usual duties and Big Smoke's narcotics empire ceased transactions with San Fierro.
As shown in the game, Mike Toreno is the Syndicate's brains and leader, calling the shots, making decisions and thinking business through. T-Bone is the muscle, having the entire San Fierro Rifa at his disposition, he makes sure that Mike's orders, errands and deals are carried through perfectly. Finally, Jizzy is the group's face and charisma, recruiting men to pull hits, errands and other business for the Syndicate's dealings. It is indicated that Mike and T-Bone each receive 40% of the Syndicate's profits and Jizzy receives only 20% (which he complains about, although T-Bone says that he agreed to the 40-40-20 split before signing on with the group).
Though not directly a part of the syndicate, Officer Frank Tenpenny and Officer Eddie Pulaski seem to have played a part in the foundation of the Los Santos side of business. Tenpenny being the link between ex grove street members and the Ballas, and the beginning of a co-gang collaborated drug business.
