Hunting down a tapas bar in Madrid is like looking for a Starbucks in New York City: Not hard. Some are big and airy and cater to tourists, while others are small and filled with the lively chatter of the locals. However, if you are looking for a tapas experience to remember, head to Madrid's centrally located Mercado de San Miguel.
If you've been to some of the markets scattered throughout Europe, you may be expecting noisy stalls, unswept floors, and the stench of meat and fish swirling throughout the narrow aisles. Not so at Mercado San Miguel. This covered market is pristine, with a high metal and wood paneled ceiling and beautiful lights brightening up each corner. The aisles are wide, providing a clear sight of the specials of the day. Each counter resembles a tiny restaurant rather than an actual stall, and vendors take real pride in the quality of their wares, from the preparation, and taste, even down to the presentation.
There are two types of stalls here: built in counters boasting a huge array of tapas, or small carts serving up one specialty. Here you can find Jamon Iberico on thick slices of bread, mini tripe salads, huge bowls of neon colored sangria, and every type of cheese imaginable. In addition to the tapas counters there are also wine and cava bars, a fish counter, and a whole area for postres, or desserts.
The central area of the market is filled with counter top tables, some with stools, some without, where friends and strangers can gather together and share a meal.

Bayaud Enterprises is able to place some of our clients into jobs through our contracts with AbilityOne, a federal set-aside program that allows nonprofits to be the vendors of choice for goods and services purchased by the Federal Government. This program provides supportive employment opportunities to individuals with significant disabilities or other barriers to employment.
These jobs are administrative in nature and include roles such as janitorial, security, warehousing, mailroom, switchboard operations, and other administrative support roles. But these AbilityOne positions are more than just jobs. For people with barriers to employment, these trades are the means to a productive, purposeful life.
How It Works
AbilityOne has an open bid system where participating nonprofits across the country can bid to win government contracts. Bayaud Enterprises bids on the federal contracts available in the Denver region, and if we win them, we then train and support the workforce who will fulfill the contract's staffing requirements.
AbilityOne is not a handout. It is a hand up because to retain the federal contract, and our workers must perform up to standards and be competitive to any other available workforce. We take great pride in providing workers who are trained and motivated so that we retain these AbilityOne contracts.
Our Success
Over the last twenty years, we have placed thousands of people in these federal jobs who were then able to find gainful, sustainable employment in the public sector because of the skills and experience they gained through an Ability One job.
Currently, we have approximately 110 people working in AbilityOne jobs throughout the Denver area, providing valuable services to the federal customer. But unlike other agencies who may place someone in a job and then walk away, Bayaud Enterprises provides ongoing support to these workers to make sure that they have the means to continue to be successful in their role and remain employed.
Because of our ongoing support and dedication to the long-term success of people with barriers to employment, our people take pride in their work and provide competent service and we have maintained our Ability One government contracts for over 20 years. Our job sites include:
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
- Veterans Administration Hospital in Denver (VA)
- Internal Revenue Service (IRS)
- National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)
- National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)
- Army Space Command
- Federal Highways
The broad economic impact of this program ripples through the entire Colorado community as many of the people we place into these jobs are the economic engine of their family. Their Source America job affects their entire family's quality of life. This program helps people achieve the American Dream which these individuals with barriers to employment were sure had completely passed them by.
Support Services Make All the Difference
People with mental and physical disabilities need support services in order to successfully stay in a job. For example, someone in one of the SourceAmerica jobs might need assistance to find affordable housing, access to medical care, a disability support group, peer support, or other community services. Without access to these resources, they will likely lose their job, which is why Bayaud doesn't just place people in a job and walk away. We create support around the person to ensure that they can maintain their employment.
End Homelessness
Many individuals with mental and physical disabilities experience chronic homelessness. They have difficulty holding down a job because they need resources, benefits, and ongoing mentorship to maintain stable employment. Too often, one or more of these pieces is missing and they cannot sustain the constancy needed to remain employed. They lose their job, are back on the street, and the cycle of homelessness begins again. Bayaud Enterprises offers long term solutions to the long term problem of homelessness.
Community Resource
Ongoing accommodations are often necessary for people with physical or mental disabilities. We provide community resource navigation (human services) to guide individuals to the right resources and benefits (such as healthcare), as well as vocational rehabilitation services to help them learn marketable skills. And we provide the ongoing mentorship and support needed to maintain success on the job.
Workforce Training
We can incubate a training program for your organization that is free to you, the employer, and that trains people for the positions you need to have filled. By taking samples of the work you need performed, we can build a training program around those tasks and administer a 30, 60, or 90 day training program specifically for your needs.
You get a trained work force that is ready to go to work for you without incurring the usual costs associated with training new workers. You also fulfill workplace diversity standards and give individuals with physical and mental barriers to employment a means to self-sufficiency.
Your Support
When you support Bayaud Enterprises you are helping people gain self-sufficiency through sustained employment.

Michael Oher: 'Blind Side' Football Star Helps Ravens To Super Bowl Win
Michael's life was documented in the Oscar winning film 'The Blind Side', but now they might have to make a sequel after he led his team the Baltimore Ravens to Super Bowl victory on Feb. 3!
Michael Oher is probably still celebrating after the spectacular victory of the Baltimore Ravens against the San Francisco 49ers at the Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3. The story of Michael's tough upbringing was told in the 2010 film The Blind Side, which starred Sandra Bullock, who was there to cheer on Michael, 26, with her son Louis, who looked adorable in a Ravens jersey! When Michael and his team won, he and his adopted mom Leigh Ann Tuohy shared a touching hug.
Michael Oher Leads Baltimore Ravens To Victory
Michael and the Ravens beat the 49ers 34-31, and he and his teammates took to the field to celebrate! After an eventful Super Bowl that included an amazing half-time show with Beyoncé and Destiny's Child, and a 30-minute-long black out, the Ravens went home with the Vince Lobmardi Trophy.
But perhaps one of the most special moments of the event was when Michael hugged his mom Leigh Ann, and she cried tears of joy at her adopted son's victory.
"I came so far from nothing to a Super Bowl champion. I'm in shock right now!" Michael told Good Morning America host Josh Elliott. "We won the Super Bowl!" added an excited Leigh Ann.
Leigh Ann was seen going nuts when the game ended and the Ravens were declared the winner, as she jumped up and down and screamed and shouted for joy. Michael's birth mother Denise Oher watched the game in downtown Memphis, and she also shared her happiness at the result.
"I'm proud of him. I love him and I'm going to give God all that praise for his success," Denise told local station Fox 19. "I'm excited, I've been excited since they won. I knew he was going to be successful in sports."
Michael's story of his troubled childhood is told in The Blind Side, as he moved between foster homes in Memphis before Leigh Ann and Sean Tuohy took him into their home. They eventually became his legal parents, and they encouraged his professional football career.
Sandra, who played Leigh Ann in the film, is a big fan of Michael's.
"She's a great advocate of doing the right thing. She's a big giver," Leigh Ann said. "She follows Michael's career every step of the way. It's funny. I'll get texts during the game: 'Why did they do this? They shouldn't have done that.'"
How great that Sandra takes such an interest! Michael's story is truly inspiring.
What do YOU think, HollywoodLifers? Do YOU find Michael's story inspiring?

Ukraine and Russia are trying to settle a long-standing border dispute concerning a strategic waterway near the Crimea Peninsula in the Black Sea.
Ukrainian and Russian officials are meeting in Ukraine's capital, Kiev, in a new attempt to settle the dispute over a tiny island that sits in a strategic shipping route in the Black Sea.
Ukraine rushed a unit of border guards to the island of Tuzla last month when it discovered that Russia was building a sand dike in an effort to link the island to Russia's side of the border.
Russian officials say the dike was washed away in a storm many years ago, and that a new one is necessary to prevent erosion in the Kerch Strait.
But Ukraine says Russia is trying to seize control of Tuzla island, which sits in the shipping lane that links the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea. The shipping lane is the only outlet through which Russian ships pass from the major port of Rostov-on-Don.
Russia suspended work on the dike after Ukraine sent the border troops to the island, and the two sides agreed to allow an environmental commission study the erosion problem. Ukraine has since said it would consider withdrawing the troops after the commission announces the results of its study, which are expected soon.
But the latest meeting is a new attempt to ease tensions, which increased last week after a meeting between the foreign ministers of the two countries failed to make any headway.
The Kerch strait marks the boundary between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, which was part of Russia until Soviet leader Nikita Khruschev gave it to Ukraine in 1954. The future of Crimea has been disputed by Russia and Ukraine since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
The majority of people who live on the scenic peninsula are Russian, and many Russians feel it should once again be made part of Russia. Local Russian politicians have long seized on the issue, as have nationalist political parties. But Ukraine rejects any redrawing of the border.

Issue 254 Stripie Scarf in Soft Linen
In our diverse, knitterly world I am one of the process knitters. I have knit entire sweaters with no intention of wearing them, just for the joy of working the pattern. More frequently, I whip up an accessory and toss it in the 'gifts' pile seconds after it's finished blocking.
The Stripie Scarf by Amy Loberg, however, is an exception to my process-knitting habit. Not only have I already cast on, but I can't wait to finish and add the piece to my small collection of coveted accessories that get frequent wear. Stripie is worked in Soft Linen with easy garter stitch stripes and no-fuss short rows. I'll be wearing my as a kerchief in our cool office the moment the last end is woven in.

The Yarn
Soft Linen
35% Linen, 35% Wool, 30% Baby Alpaca
Soft Linen is the perfect yarn for warmer days and soft, cool nights. The alpaca makes a beautiful halo, the linen gives it a crisp and firm hand and the wool provides stability and its own level of softness.
This year-round yarn works equally well for lace, colorwork and textures. This makes it a particularly good choice for accessories that will get a lot of use, like hats, belts, shawls, scarves and mitts.

Andi Clark's Comet is from our Spring collection, but I can easily see it fitting beautifully into a fall wardrobe.

In today's world, one thing that is lacking is gratitude. We take for granted all that God has provided for us. Night Night Blessings, by Amy Parker, helps a child to recognize God's blessings in the big and little things that are a part of his every day experiences. From the time the child in the book opens her eyes in the morning, until she closes them again at night, she expresses thanks to God for everything from syrupy pancakes to twinkly stars at night along with everything in between like friends, pets, toys, family, bubble baths, and bedtime routines. All these blessings let the child know, as the last page states, that God is watching from above. I think it is a sweet book that can encourage a child to recognize God's blessings throughout his or her day. This book, at the end of the day, could provide an opportunity for parents to ask their child what things they are thankful for.
The book itself is a slightly padded board book that is colorful yet subdued. The illustrations, by Marijan Ramljak, have a "soft" almost water colored appearance. The book seems sturdy which would allow a child to "read" this book on his own without fear of tearing pages. The story is written in rhyme which children seem to enjoy.
I look forward to reading it to my own grandchildren the next time they are over. Because it is a board book, I would recommend it for preschoolers. As a bedtime book, it certainly could lead into a bedtime prayer to thank God for the many blessings in that day and maybe begin a new habit of recognizing God's blessings and thanking Him for them all through the day.

I hate house work. But I hate dust more. There was a time when I was younger, a time when I have an abundance of energy, dusting and cleaning was something I do every weekend. Everything was in their proper places, any spillage was wiped up immediately and any dirt or dust will be sweep away. Bed sheets and blankets were washed every weekend and curtains every month.
Then I had my daughter. After working in the office all day and coming home to take care of her took some of my energy away. I was already in my forties and I needed help. So I engaged a domestic maid to help out. She did all the house work for me. My house was spic and span, I go to work and earn some money, I come home after work and play with my daughter and we all go out and have a good time during the weekends. Life was good. I grew lazy.
As my daughter grew older, I felt that I do not need a lived-in maid anymore. Everyone I know who has lived-in maids started hiring hourly maids from maid agencies. It was cheaper and there's no problem like runaway maids, maids who do not know how to use electrical appliances, maids who abuses the elderly or babies and kids etc. I too engaged one of those hourly maids to keep my house clean.
As the years passed, I grew more and more lazy and housework became more difficult to handle. As the demands for these hourly maids grew, the fees charged by the agencies became astronomical. It became too expensive to keep one coming every week to do the cleaning. When it used to be once a week sessions, it became once a fortnight, then once a month. Finally, I decided I don't need one anymore. I started doing my own housework.
Although the heart is willing, the body is having a hard time. Sweeping takes longer than before and at the end of it, I am sweating like a pig! Mopping the floors & cleaning the toilets takes my energy away. At the end of the day after finishing all the chores, I was exhausted. There is no denying it, I DO need domestic help to do all the cleaning. I just don't have the energy to do it alone.

Claus, Why did you not consider using the keep alive option of the thread pool? This would reclaim threads that have been idle after a given certain time and those resources would of been reclaimed. The only consideration is that you would need to reduce the number of active threads to a small value since this is useful for created threads that exceed the minimum thread pool size. --Claudio >________________________________ > From: Claus Ibsen <firstname.lastname@example.com> >To: firstname.lastname@example.com >Sent: Thursday, September 6, 2012 11:20 AM >Subject: Re: [HEADS UP] - Graceful shutdown of AMQ and fixing some leaks when doing hot-deployment > >Hi > >Okay I have been running a bunch of unit tests, and I can see that the >tests from activemq-core, is kinda dependent on the old behavior >of shutting down thread pools aggressively using shutdownNow or no >attempt to wait for in progress tasks to complete gracefully. > >So the changes being committed is currently to keep same behavior of >shutting down.

Watch how to make this recipe.
Pavlovas: Put an oven rack in the center of the oven. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the egg whites until thick, about 2 minutes. With the machine on medium-high speed, gradually add the sugar, about 1 tablespoon at a time. Add the salt, cream of tartar and lemon zest. Increase the speed to high and beat until the mixture holds stiff peaks, about 3 to 4 minutes. Drop 8 (1/2) cupfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Using the back of a spoon make a 1 1/2-inch diameter well in the center of each meringue. Bake for 2 hours. Turn off the oven and allow the meringues to cool completely in the oven for 2 hours. Store airtight in a plastic container for up to 1 week.
Berries: In a small bowl, toss together the berries, sugar and lemon juice. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
Cream: In a small bowl, mix together the cheese, sugar and vanilla until smooth.
Assembly: Put the meringues on small plates and spoon a dollop of the mascarpone cream into the wells. Top with the berries and serve.
Cook's Note: If using blueberries, gently mash them with a fork before mixing with the sugar and lemon juice.
Cook's Note: The meringue mixture can also be placed in a pastry bag fitted with a large, plain tip (recommended: Ateco # 9808) and piped onto the baking sheet.

As expected, the box office was fairly quiet on Friday. The Possession debuted in first place with a solid $6.05 million at 2,816 locations; that's lower than Lionsgate's other recent supernatural horror movies The Last Exorcism ($9.4 million) and The Haunting in Connecticut ($9.7 million), but it does at least put the movie on pace for a four-day opening around $20 million.In second place, Lawless added $2.75 million from 2,888 locations for a three-day total of $4.9 million. Among recent Labor Day weekend thrillers, it's tracking ahead of The Debt ($4.5 million) but behind The American ($7 million). Based on these comparisons, the movie is poised to get to around $14 million by Monday.The Expendables 2 eased 43 percent to an estimated $2.18 million on Friday, bringing its total to $59.5 million.

Average interest rates on 30-year fixed-rate loans jumped to 3.98 percent this week, but still remained near record lows, Freddie Mac reported Thursday.
The 30-year fixed-rate home loans increased from last week's average of 3.88 percent.
Despite the jump, this marks the eighth consecutive week the 30-year fixed has remained below 4 percent, Freddie Mac reported.
A year ago, the rate was almost 1 point higher at 4.8 percent.
Average interest rates on 15-year, fixed rate home loans also jumped this week, up to 3.24 percent.
Last week, the rate was at 3.17 percent. A year ago, the interest rate on the 15-year loan was at 4.08 percent.
"Fixed mortgage rates ticked up this week as the housing market ended 2011 on a high note,'' said Frank Nothaft, Freddie Mac's vice president and chief economist.
New construction of single-family houses, he said, rose 4.4 percent in December to the highest number sold since April 2010, he said in a written statement. Existing home sales jumped even more, to 5 percent at the end of the year, the most sold since May 2010, he added.Total upfront costs this week averaged .7 percent for the 15-year fixed rate loan and .8 percent for the 30-year loans, according to Freddie Mac. The buyers may also pay closing costs, which are not included in the survey.
However, many buyers may not get Freddie Mac's low average rates as its average rates require high credit scores and down payments of 20 percent or more.Freddie Mac's average low rates also require more upfront fees than what some consumers are used to paying, added Freddie Mac spokesman Chad Wandler.
Freddie Mac's longer name is the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corp. It is a government-sponsored enterprise set up in 1970 to buy mortgages on the secondary market to expand the money available for home loans.

Metro Atlanta needs to fix its traffic problems, but it doesn't need rail, a group opposed to a plan to raise taxes to overhaul the region's transportation system said.
The Transportation Leadership Coalition operates the www.traffictruth.net website, which lists reasons to vote against the 1-cent sales tax July 31.
One of the top ones is that it won't help you in a traffic jam. Even research by the Georgia Regional Transportation Authority, which helps create regional transportation policy, found that light rail could make your commute far worse, the website said.
"GRTA concluded that light rail in Cobb County would more than double commute time and would therefore be unsuccessful in alleviating traffic congestion," it read.
More than double commute time? Then why would anyone in his right mind want light rail?
We took a close look at the claim.
The referendum is known as the Transportation Special Local Option Sales Tax. It would raise taxes by 1 cent in the metro area over the next 10 years to build or upgrade roads, highways and mass transit.
Even if the referendum passes, it won't fund rail for Cobb County. Local leaders who developed a slate of projects that the tax would fund struck it from the list.
It will pay for other rail projects, such as one in the Clifton Road corridor near Emory University and streetcars in and around downtown Atlanta. Transportation tax foes repeatedly use this fact as a reason to oppose it.
To find out more about the GRTA claim, we called volunteers for the Transportation Leadership Coalition. They told us they got their information during meetings for the Northwest Connectivity Study, a years-long effort in the early 2000s. The GRTA's aim was to find out what kind of mass transit system would help locals best cope with their commutes.
The study recommended bus service that would use HOV lanes to take them closer to the city's core instead of light rail or other types of transit, according to news accounts and GRTA study documents.
(The bus service never launched. It morphed into a project to build special "reversible lanes" that switch their direction of travel depending on the time of day. Drivers will pay a toll to use them to get around traffic jams.)
The study estimated commute times for some of these mass transit options.
The HOV lane bus service would take 36 minutes to travel from the Busbee Park and Ride lot in the Kennesaw area to Midtown, according to study documents. Light rail would take an estimated 53 minutes, or 17 minutes more.
But it did not compare mass transit trip times to car commutes, GRTA spokesman William Mecke told PolitiFact Georgia. It didn't look into how these mass transit projects would affect traffic congestion, either.
"Therefore, GRTA drew no conclusions as to how much these transit options would impact commute times or alleviate traffic congestion," Mecke told us in an email. Project documents outlining the scope of the study back up this statement.
Mecke cautioned that the study's estimates are old.
"That was eight years and another economy ago," Mecke said.
Transportation Leadership Coalition volunteer Ron Sifen recalls the Northwest Corridor effort differently. Sifen, who said he supports mass transit, said he was a supporter of light rail until he saw a GRTA presentation in the early 2000s.
The presentation compared trip times for car commuters with those of light-rail riders. Sifen said car trips were so much shorter, and light rail was so much more expensive than other options, he decided light rail was a bad idea.
We wanted to give Sifen and others from the anti-transportation tax group another chance, so we checked our newspaper archives and other resources for any suggestion that light rail would double Northwest Corridor commute times. We found nothing.
We also looked at the GRTA's yearly Transportation MAP Report, which shows commute times for certain freeway segments. We hoped we could do a back-of-the-envelope calculation for the length of a car commute and compare it with the light-rail time.
We couldn't. It doesn't show how long it takes a car commuter to drive from the Busbee Park and Ride to Midtown.
It's possible that car commutes could be shorter than prospective light-rail commutes. Trains make regularly scheduled stops.
But even if data collected as part of the Northwest Connectivity study, or any other transportation studies in the early part of the past decade, did confirm that this were true, that data would be very old.
To sum up:
The Transportation Leadership Coalition said that the GRTA "concluded that light rail in Cobb County would more than double commute time and would therefore be unsuccessful in alleviating traffic congestion."
The GRTA denied it made this conclusion, and we found no evidence it did, either.
The Transportation Leadership Coalition earns a False.
Metro Atlanta needs to fix its traffic problems, but it doesn't need rail, a group opposed to a plan to raise taxes to overhaul the region's transportation system said.

Alec Baldwin is reportedly considering a run for mayor of New York City, following news that Rep. Anthony Weiner might pull out of the race due to his recent photo scandal.
Baldwin hinted at his campaign, Tweeting on Wednesday: "It's a long way till November of 2013," which is the date of the next mayoral election in New York City.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, a friend of the actor told The Daily that the actor saw a shift in the dynamics and saw a potential opening in the race, "The Democrats need a high-profile candidate, and Alec can fill that bill."
The actor's spokesperson, Matthew Hiltzik, also addressed the issue on Twitter, writing: "I wouldn't rule it out."
The 53-year-old actor has played Jack Donaghy on the NBC comedy series "30 Rock" since it debuted in 2006 and has one season left on his contract with NBC. Baldwin, who has not ruled out a political career, has said he will leave at that point.
In January, Baldwin told CNN's Eliot Spitzer that he was interested in politics but said that to quit acting would be "enormously difficult."
"It would be easier for me to run if I moved - California or Connecticut or somewhere," Baldwin, a New York resident, told the Associated Press. "And I'm not prepared to do that right now."
Baldwin has meanwhile been keeping busy with his movie career. He stars in the upcoming film adaptation of the Broadway hit "Rock of Ages."
The film is based on the hit Broadway musical, which features 1980s "hair metal" hits from bands like Journey, Bon Jovi, and Twisted Sister. Baldwin, who has appeared in films such as "Beetlejuice" and "It's Complicated," portrays Dennis Dupree, an ex-rocker who runs a club in Los Angeles' famed Sunset Strip rock district.
Baldwin recently addressed Harvard Law School's graduating class. He told students that he should have pursued a law degree instead of becoming an actor.
Baldwin graduated from New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. He has received three Golden Globe Awards, two Emmys, five SAG Awards and the Television Critics Award for his role as Jack Donaghy on "30 Rock."
"I wanted to be President of the United States, so I needed to get my hands on a law degree," Baldwin told Harvard's 2011 graduating class, The Harvard Crimson reported. "Nearly every day since then, I wondered what would [have happened] if I had the patience, skill, or good fortune."

Some code strings in the latest release of Apple's iOS 7 beta software suggest that the next group of iPhones and iPads, expected to be released this spring, could have a fingerprint sensor built into the traditional home button.
According to one source cited by 9to5Mac the fingerprint sensor will be used to lock and unlock the next generation of Apple devices, starting with the next iPhone. But Apple may have bigger plans for biometrically-enhanced mobile security.
An image of the strings apparently was sent to 9to5Mac, and then posted via Twitter, by Hamza Sood @hamzasood who found them in the beta 4 release of iOS 7. Marc Gurman posted the information at 9to5Mac.
Here are text strings found by Sood:
"Photo of a person holding an iPhone with their left hand while touching the Home button with their thumb_;
"A fingerprint that changes colour during the setup process._
"iPhoto of a person holding an iPhone with their right hand while touching the Home button with their thumb_Recognition is"
"Sood tells us that the above strings are what an iPhone with VoiceOver on would read to a user," Gurman writes. Another source, one "familiar with the development of the new iPhone", according to Gurman, told him that the "user-interface for the fingerprint scanning system has been complete[d]. This person also says that the technology is focused around unlocking the phone, so it is unclear if it is built for a payment system (as rumoured) in the next iPhone".
Almost exactly one year ago, on 27 July2012, it was announced that AuthenTec, a Florida company specialising in a range of mobile security products, including fingerprint sensors, was being acquired by Apple for about US$356 million. And Apple was spending US$20 million more for the chance to ultimately pay still more for non-exclusive licences and certain other rights for AuthenTec hardware and software technologies and patents.
Every subsequent iPhone and iPad has been rumoured to have a fingerprint sensor. But the rumours overlook the depth and breadth of AuthenTec's mobile security technology and patent portfolio: it seems unlikely that Apple would spend well over a quarter-billion dollars simply for a fingerprint lock, a technology that has yet to take consumers by storm. So some have linked AuthenTec with a future mobile payments system from Apple. So far, there's no evidence of that system.
If Gurman's source is correct, a fingerprint lock for iPhone 6, or 5S, and the next iPads could be the first step toward greater online security, and secured services, for iOS users.

If you're a prolific photo Tumblr-er, then this extension's for you. Deja Vu helps you find duplicate images on your Tumblr blog using an advanced open source perceptual hashing algorithm. This sounds fancy, but what it really means is that you no longer have to download your photos and install a separate desktop photo fingerprinting application to detect duplicate images. Simply go to your blog and click on the big blue button -- that's all there is to it.
NOTE: Since this extension relies on Tumblr's API, you will need an API key in order to use it (it takes about a minute to apply for your free key).
- Scans photos and photosets in Posts, Drafts, and Queue for duplicate images.
- For improved performance, eight images are processed concurrently and the results for each blog are cached.
- You can change the threshold that determines whether two images are considered duplicates.
- Your settings are synced across PCs. The cached results can grow larger than 100 KB (the sync limit), so they are not synced.
- Improved private blogs handling
- Improved caching routine
- Optimized cache size
- Fixed broken "compare" links
- Fixed missing labels on pagination
