An empowered civil society is a crucial component of any democratic system and is an asset in itself. It represents and fosters pluralism and can contribute to more effective policies, equitable and sustainable development and inclusive growth. It is an important player in fostering peace and in conflict resolution. By articulating citizens' concerns, civil society organisations (CSOs) are active in the public arena, engaging in initiatives to further participatory democracy and governance.
The EU considers Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) to include all non-State, not-for-profit structures, non-partisan and non-violent, through which people organise to pursue shared objectives and ideals, whether political, cultural, social or economic. Operating from the local to the national, regional and international levels, they comprise urban and rural, formal and informal organisations.
The European Commission Communication Increasing the impact of EU Development Policy: an Agenda for Change (COM 2011) 637 provides the policy direction for EU development cooperation by proposing a concentration of development cooperation around two main pillars:
- Human rights, democracy and good governance;
- Inclusive and sustainable growth for human development.
The Communication calls for strengthened "links with civil society organisations, social partners and local authorities, through regular dialogue and use of best practices", in particular to "support the emergence of a local civil society which can effectively contribute to dialogue with public authorities and to oversee public authorities' work".
Recognising the importance of constructive relations between states and CSOs, the policy orientations propose an enhanced and more strategic EU engagement with CSOs in developing, enlargement and neighbourhood countries, with a particular focus on local civil society organisations.
In its Communication 'The roots of democracy and sustainable development: Europe's engagement with Civil Society in external relations', the European Commission puts forward three priorities for the EU:
- Enhance efforts to promote a conducive environment for CSOs in partner countries.
- Promote meaningful and structured participation in programming and policy processes to build stronger governance and accountability at all levels.
- Increase local CSOs' capacity to perform their roles as independent development actors more effectively.
Under these premises, the EU sets a new approach to support CSOs with regards to the promotion of inclusive and sustainable growth as well as in service delivery.
In order to strengthen CSOs at local level, the Roadmaps for engagement with civil society in partner countries have been created. These Roadmaps aim to develop a more strategic and structured dialogue with civil society at country level, on the one hand, and with EU Member States on the other to strengthen coherence, homogeneity and impact of EU actions.

Yeah you just paste the data into excel at field A1 and then select column A and do Data->Text to columns. Then select deliminated and tick comma then finish.
Then much more excel fiddling to get a graph...
Ah thanks , I didn't know about these data options. May I ask how you got the raw data? was it a script?

If your tenure in our state stretches back no further than the early 1980s, you may not be aware of the fact North Carolina�s license plates used to say �First in Freedom� rather than �First in Flight.�
RALEIGH � If your tenure in our state stretches back no further than the early 1980s, you may not be aware of the fact North Carolina�s license plates used to say �First in Freedom� rather than �First in Flight.� So you may not fully appreciate why we chose the title First in Freedom for the John Locke Foundation�s just-published book of policy ideas for the new administration and legislature in Raleigh.
The state�s freedom-themed license plate was first issued in 1975, as the nation was preparing to celebrate the bicentennial of the Declaration of Independence. It commemorated North Carolina�s early role in the American Revolution.
In May 1775, a group of Mecklenburg County leaders met in Charlotte to fashion a response to escalating tensions with Britain. As they gathered, news arrived of the battles of Lexington and Concord a month earlier. Worried and angered, the Mecklenburg leaders decided to set up their own institutions of government. In a document later published as the Mecklenburg Resolves, they stated that British military action had resulted in the colonies entering �a state of actual rebellion� and that �all laws and commissions confirmed by or derived from the authority of the King and Parliament are annulled and vacated and the former civil constitution of these colonies for the present wholly suspended.�
Some believe that the Mecklenburg committee went further still, issuing a formal Declaration of Independence on May 20, the first of its kind in America. But even if the Mecklenburg Resolves was the only document approved by the delegates, it was still a startling and courageous act of resistance against tyrannical government and deserves the veneration still evident on North Carolina�s state flag and state seal.
The revolutionary fervor was hardly limited to Mecklenburg. Political leaders in counties and towns across North Carolina expressed their resolve to fight for liberty over the subsequent months. By April 1776, they met as the Fourth Provincial Congress in Halifax to decide what North Carolina�s position should be at the upcoming Continental Congress. In the resulting Halifax Resolves, the assembled state leaders, including three veterans of the 1775 Mecklenburg committee, instructed the North Carolina delegation in Philadelphia to pursue formal independence from Britain � the first such decision in America. The date of the Halifax Resolves, April 12, is the other date honored on the North Carolina seal and flag.
So there is a strong case to be made that the Tar Heel State led the way on American independence, although it took nearly two centuries to deliver on the promissory note of freedom for all of our citizens. Now, in the early 21st century, we face new challenges to our economic vitality, our families, our liberty and our tradition of constitutional government. Again, it is time for North Carolina leaders to act.
In �First in Freedom,� my John Locke Foundation colleagues and I offer the following action plan:
-- Replace North Carolina�s uncompetitive and unfair tax code with a new, pro-growth system that targets consumption and encourages savings, investment, business formation and job creation.
-- Place stronger constitutional limits on state budget growth and the issuance of public debt so that tax dollars are concentrated on the state�s highest budget priorities and investment needs.
-- Continue the process of removing costly, counterproductive regulations that inhibit job creation and raise the cost of energy, food, medical care and other goods and services.
-- Enhance North Carolina�s long-term rate of economic growth by investing more wisely in infrastructure and bringing more academic rigor, accountability, management flexibility, competition and parental choice to the delivery of educational services.
-- Reorganize the operating system of state government to reduce the number of Council of State and Cabinet agencies, sort out the state�s convoluted governance system for education, strengthen accountability to the public and promote competitive elections in North Carolina.
In short, North Carolina should reclaim our heritage and resume our leadership in the cause of liberty. Let�s be �First in Freedom� once more.
John Hood is president of the John Locke Foundation.

"We begin by establishing the purpose of the computer forensics investigation, and identifying the best way to preserve and analyse the data we find. Ultimately this will determine what tools, techniques and software we will be required to utilise. At all times we are mindful of any safety measures seeded in the computer, including failsafes that have been put in place to erase the data when triggered"
"Once we have established the nature of the investigation, we will begin the acquisition of the data. For this we need to create a duplicate of the media, typically by using a write blocker. This provides our specialists with a snapshot or mirror image of the data contained on the media, and is a perfect copy of the drive. The imaging process is non-destructive to the data, which ensures the integrity of the investigation"
"After acquisition the contents of the image files are analysed to identify evidence that either supports or contradicts a theory, hypothesis, allegation or claim. We will also look at any attempts to delete or hide data, including any failsafes that have been put in place. We utilise a wide variety of forensic tools for examining and analysing data including Access Data and Forensic ToolKit"
"Forensic Toolkit is a court-cited digital investigations platform that is used for computer forensics examination and analysis. FTK is database driven, meaning it is fast and resilient, and allows our specialists to handle massive data sets. The software also allows our specialists to correlate massive data sets from different sources (like mobile devices and cloud storage), allowing us to review data and identify relevant evidence"
"Once the data analysis is complete, our specialists will compile a detailed report with the findings of the investigation. Our easy to understand report will include notes taken by the specialist in charge of the particular case, details of the hardware examined, the procedures and software used in the examination and any evidence or findings found"
"Our computer forensics procedures are recognised by The Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO and Civil Procedure Rules (CPR) Part 35 and have been accredited by ISO9001. We pride ourselves on our professionalism and integrity, and have worked on over 600 cases since we were established in 1996"
"Our specialists always refer to the ACPO guidelines for electronic evidence. ACPO publish guidelines for handling electronic evidence, and it is of vital importance that these are strictly adhered to when investigating computers or digital media. Law enforcement agencies or their agents should never access the media directly, and must always use a write blocker to interrogate media"
"Adhering to the ACPO guidelines, an audit trail or other record of all processes applied to computer based electronic evidence should be created and preserved. Our audits are thorough, so that any other party should be able to examine those exact processes and achieve the same result"
"Robust information security is of vital importance, with a diverse range of clients entrusting their sensitive data to us. ISO 9001 is an internationally recognised framework for information security. It helps us identify any risks to important information so we can put in place the appropriate controls to help reduce the risk. Our certifications mean that we can offer our assurance of the quality we deliver"

It seems like Microsoft is trying to take Samsung's title as the official Apple-bashing smartphone provider.
The last string of ads for the Nokia Lumia 900, Nokia Lumia 920, and now the Nokia Lumia 925 are all about panning iPhone users. This time around, they are compared to pale skinned, red eyed, zombies not because of their Apple fanboy-dom, but rather because of the iPhone's supposedly poor photo quality.
The commercial is just plain weird though. And it doesn't even show off the what the Nokia phone can actually do as far as photo quality. Instead, the spot just makes claims that the iPhone takes bad photos.
Picking on the iPhone is hardly new. While ad agency 72andSunny made it cool for Samsung, Nokia marketers actually slammed Apple in 2007 after it dropped the iPhone price by $200 and only allowed customers who had bought their phone 14 days prior to the cost drop to receive a refund.
Nokia took out an ad on Google that read "Sorry, Early Adopters" that appeared alongside the search term "iPhone price drop."
Last year, Nokia released a series of alleged smartphone beta test videos that aimed to prove that iPhones were subpar. A voiceover at the end of the black and white videos said, "If you ever thought that maybe your smartphone wasn't all it's cracked up to be, that's because it wasn't."
Strangely, all of the videos in the series except for the finale exclaiming in color that "the smartphone beta test is over" have since been taken off YouTube and the accompanying website www.smartphonebetatest.com leads to nothing.
Then came a dull spot in October 2012 panning Apple for only selling smartphones in two colors whereas Nokia Lumias offer a larger variety:
And in April, Nokia released another ad mocking Galaxy and iPhone users' rivalry.
We get what Nokia is doing, but is it working?
Samsung employed this strategy very well, but even it has moved on from only bashing its rival. Comparing iPhone enthusiasts to zombies might not be enough to get Lumias off the shelves.

The Luon Network; ‒ Home
Welcome to the Luon Network;
Although the Luon Network; provides many many services for Luon users, the web page has not been used much over the past years and therefore contains only an overview and some basic information.
2015-04-03 — Jekyll
This website was migrated to Jekyll, but should otherwise look and feel the same as before.
2012-08-21 — Moved!
Because all of the sysops have moved on from the TU Eindhoven, it has been long past due to move our servers as well. The move has been quite a task, but as of yesterday our servers are located at a data center in Rijen, Noord-Brabant, NL via our new hoster, Bitency.
Following this move will be a cleanup and then a restructuring of the servers/services, as we are not limited by 3 physical machines anymore.
2011-09-13 — Added web statistics
Every website hosted by us has received automated web statistics analysis
and an accompanying webpage that displays this information, available via
See for example the statistics of this site.
With this transition, I moved from the old webalizer to AWstats. Old statistics (up until 11 September 2011) are still be available via http://webalizer.luon.net, optionally followed by the domain name.
2011-09-07 — Added webmail, refreshed wiki service
Only a few days before
sphere.luon.net will be shutdown, I have added a
webmail service that will access Luon mail or
mail on virtual domains hosted by Luon, hosted on
I have also refreshed the Luon Wiki, switching from gitit to ikiwiki. We also support hosting other ikiwikis, if needed.
Make sure our SSL certificates are valid! If not, please let us know.
Due to the move it could be, though, that there is a hostname mismatch (for

2011-06-30 — Added contacts/CardDAV service
To supplement out CalDAV service, I have enabled
CardDAV support and made it available via
2011-03-15 — Down due to electrical fire
Due to an electrical fire in the airconditioning unit, we have been down for the past 36 hours because we first had to find out what the cause was and the fire department/building manager asked us not to start any of the equipment until this morning.
2011-02-01 — Luonica; down
Our StatusNet service Luonica; has been taken down due to ongoing problems with the (rather unsupported) PostgreSQL-backend of StatusNet.
2010-09-26 — New website!
The previous website was not working anymore due to changes in PHP. As a result, this page has been defunct for many months, dare I say years. But, because most of the Luon people don't really check this website anyway, it wasn't a big deal.
I am not gonna pretend that this new site is going to be better and will attract your recurrent visits now. So, I've posted some (rather timeless) info about the Luon Network; on here and we'll see how it goes from there…

Wordless Wednesday: Morning Glories
2 comments:
Beautiful glories, Greta! I'm afraid I have neglected my gardens this summer...just too much going on in my life, I guess. Hopefully next spring I can begin afresh. BTW, I have never tried morning glories.ReplyDelete
Linda, this is the first time in years I've been able to do much of anything in my garden, and that's because my college daughter got inspired this summer and helped me. The morning glories we've had for a few years; you just throw the seeds down and they kind of grow like weeds. Still, they're beautiful and pretty easy to pull out if you don't like where they decide to grow.ReplyDelete

Quinoa Spaghetti Recipes
Quinoa Spaghetti with Asparagus (Gluten Free Pasta)
Since I gave birth to Aria 13 months ago, I've been determined to shed the weight I had gained during pregnancy. It took 9 months to gain the weight, so I knew it was going to take quite some time, perhaps even longer to lose it all. Part of my strategy has been to eat vegetarian 2 to 3 times a week. As you can imagine, this has made my husband Lulu (who is a vegetarian) very, very happy. "Halfway there," he says.
One of my favorite dishes to make on veggie days is gluten-free quinoa pasta. The pasta is awesome. It has a different texture, but I really enjoy it. For this dish, I sauteed tomato-flavored quinoa spaghetti in garlicky baby asparagus spears and added sunflower seeds as the main source of protein. I'll be eating this dish even after I reach my target weight, but I'll be sure to throw in some meatballs or chicken breast (and of course, I'll share the recipe). Sorry, Lulu!

text: 28 Mar 2013 10:00 Etihad Airways, the national airline of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), has crowned cabin crew member Joy Seesante with the award for Best Cabin Crew Smile 2012. Launched in May 2012, the internal smile competition is part of an ongoing Etihad Airways Guest Services campaign called 'Leading the world with a smile,' which focuses on showcasing the carrier's warmth, respect and hospitality through its cabin crew. The 2012 campaign comprised a photography competition and more than 3,000 Etihad Airways cabin crew were invited to enter images of themselves wearing their best smiles in any of the UAE carrier's 86 global destinations. Thousands of images from Etihad Airways cabin crew smiling in all parts of the world were submitted, with winners announced every month and finalists for the Best Cabin Crew Smile 2012 forwarded for final voting by fellow Etihad Airways cabin crew. Cabin crew member Joy Seesante won the competition with 38 per cent of the total votes for her image titled 'Leading with a Smile in Korea.' Her prize included a three-night stay for two at the Hilton Seychelles Labriz Resort & Spa. Joy is originally from the Philippines, she joined Etihad Airways in 2006 and today works onboard in the Diamond First class and Pearl Business class cabins. Aubrey Tiedt, Etihad Airways Vice President Guest Services, said: "We are delighted with the rousing success of our campaign and absolutely proud of our cabin crew who continue to create remarkable journeys for our guests "This is evident in the growing number of guest compliments commending our cabin crew's professionalism and hospitality. A smile transmits an instant message to our guests that we truly care about them." The runners up in the competition were cabin crew Maria Gonzalez from Spain, and Maxim Sayapin from Russia.

A contemporary painting depicts the solar eclipse of August 19, 1887, near Berlin. At the time, eclipses offered the only chance for astronomers to see and study the Sun's hot outer atmosphere, the corona, so they went to great lengths to observe these rare events. In 1887, an American expedition to Japan was met with cloudy skies, while an observer in Russia climbed skyward in a hot-air balloon.
You are here
Cloudy Skies
Since the late 19th century, the science and technology of astronomy have made great leaps forward. But one thing hasn't changed much: the weather. Clouds can still ruin a night of stargazing. In the 19th century, though, they could do more than just blot out a few hours of observations — they could ruin months of planning and cost the equivalent of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In August of 1887, for example, Amherst astronomer David Todd led an expedition to Japan to view a total solar eclipse. Such events offered rare glimpses of the Sun's corona — its hot but faint outer atmosphere — as well as explosions of hot gas from the Sun's surface.
Todd spent months planning the expedition. He and his crew spent a month in transit, traveling from Boston to Vancouver via railroad, then to Yokohama via steamship. Todd then spent several weeks more scouring the country for a good viewing site. The group set up several large Sun-watching telescopes, plus several smaller telescopes and cameras.
A nearby volcano belched fire and smoke on the night of August 18th, but all was clear by the following morning — the day of the eclipse.
An hour before the eclipse began, though, clouds arrived. Except for one short break, they remained overhead until after the eclipse was done — leaving the expedition with little to show for its months of work.
An astronomer in Russia found a way to avoid the clouds — a risky one — and we'll talk about that tomorrow.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama took steps on Tuesday intended to curb lawsuits brought by companies, disparagingly called "patent trolls," that make or sell nothing but specialize in suing others for infringement, and he asked for new federal regulations and action from Congress.
The offensive - announced ahead of an Obama fundraising trip this week to Silicon Valley in California - came as U.S. lawmakers and courts also are looking for ways to reduce the number of unwarranted patent lawsuits.
Such lawsuits have ballooned in recent years, particularly in the technology sector, from companies that buy and license patents from others, including individual inventors.
Critics say those patent portfolios are assembled as a springboard to litigation; many firms argue they are providing a service to inventors, or protecting against the loss of licensing fees that users of the patents should pay.
Cisco Systems Inc, Apple Inc, Google Inc and other big technology companies have been pushing for legislation that would reduce the number of times each year that they are sued for infringement.
Among other steps, the White House called on Congress to pass legislation to make it easier for a federal judge to award legal fees to the winner of a patent case if the judge deems the lawsuit abusive.
It also asked lawmakers to make it harder for companies to convince the U.S. International Trade Commission to ban sales of products made with technology that infringes on a patent. Currently, the ITC has a lower standard for ordering an injunction than does a U.S. District Court.
The disparity has led to a tidal wave of patent infringement complaints filed at the ITC.
Obama asked lawmakers to require companies that sue for infringement to have updated ownership information on file with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. He also urged the patent office, part of the Department of Commerce, to write a similar regulation.
The actions were aimed at improving incentives for high-tech innovation, a major driver of economic growth, the White House said. "Stopping this drain on the American economy will require swift legislative action, and we are encouraged by the attention the issue is receiving in recent weeks," White House spokesman Jay Carney said in a statement.
Companies specializing in patent litigation filed 2,921 infringement lawsuits in 2011, the latest figures available, 62 percent of all such cases filed, Colleen Chien, who teaches patent law at Santa Clara University Law School, said in a blog post for PatentlyO.
Allowing judges to decide that certain lawsuits are abusive and requiring losers to pay the winners' legal fees would be key steps toward killing frivolous lawsuits, said Ed Reines, a member of an advisory panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, which hears most patent appeals.
Another important step would be to reform the ITC so companies cannot get a sales injunction not available in district courts, according to Reines, a lawyer with the firm Weil Gotshal & Manges.
Two companies often accused of being trolls are Eolas Technologies and Innovatio IP Ventures LLC. Both argued on Tuesday that allowing companies that specialize in legal strategy to handle infringement lawsuits makes sense.
"The idea that because you're not actually making things, you shouldn't be able to get a return on your investment, I think that's wrong," said chief executive Mark Swords of Eolas, which has sued companies ranging from Facebook to Walt Disney over patents for interactive technology.
Matthew McAndrews, who represents Innovatio, urged lawmakers to consider requiring companies that fight infringement lawsuits and lose to pay the plaintiff's legal fees.
"Why shouldn't there be a balanced provision that says in the case of a large entity willfully infringing a non-practicing entity that all of the fees should be shifted in that case?" McAndrews said. "Who gets to define an abusive patent litigation claim? It (Obama's proposal) places way too much emphasis on non-practicing entity."
Congress already is working on a variety of bills. The heads of the judiciary committees in the Senate and House of Representatives - Democratic Senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont and Republican Representative Robert Goodlatte of Virginia - have put forward a draft bill.
Their measure would improve access to information about who owns patents, reduce discovery burdens in lawsuits and make other changes to enable judges to identify abusive cases early in the process and, presumably, dismiss them.
The bipartisan proposal, once finalized, is considered to have a good chance to move through Congress.
Another bill - introduced by Representatives Peter DeFazio, an Oregon Democrat, and Jason Chaffetz, a Utah Republican - would require certain plaintiffs to pay all legal fees if they sue for patent infringement and lose.
And efforts are under way in the courts to rein in abuses.
Randall Rader, who has been on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit since 1990 and became chief judge in 2010, has circulated a four-point plan to stem abusive patent litigation. The plan overlaps with some of the new White House proposals and some of the planned legislation.
"The litigation abuse comes when a company is asserting a patent with a minimal value ... but they're asserting it for billions of dollars," Rader told Reuters in an interview. "That disproportionality is an abuse of the system."
Rader's plan calls for courts to restrict pre-trial discovery - gathering evidence in a case - to key terms and key people and would limit the number of patents in each case.
It also calls for courts to evaluate the value of any infringement early on and dispatch smaller cases quickly, and to consider making plaintiffs pay the legal fees of defendants if the judge concludes that the original lawsuit was unfounded.
The court within weeks will formally begin an effort to cut the number of patents in each case, Rader said. The other two issues are down the road, Rader added.

Today represents an exciting milestone for the Flash Platform as we officially launch the public beta release of Flash Player 10.1 on Android-based devices. The Beta release is now available and as soon as Google releases their update to the Android OS, code-named "FroYo", users will be able to get the new Flash Player installed over the air from the Android Market. The public beta release is your opportunity to try out our dramatically updated browser-based runtime with a deep focus on performance, battery life, memory management, user experience on mobile devices, and other mobile-specific features. With the pervasive use of Flash Player content on the web today, users will be able to experience the full extent of the web that Flash enables including video, games, animations, Rich Internet Apps, data presentations and visualizations, commerce, music, and so much more. It's great to see that our extensive technical collaboration on this with our partners is now becoming a reality. To give you some perspective on the magnitude of this release, let's look at some of the performance improvements and optimizations we made for Flash Player 10.1.
Power and Battery Optimizations
Mobile platforms are carefully tuned to deliver a broad range of capabilities while minimizing battery consumption. Flash Player 10.1 was developed to seamlessly integrate into this environment. To deliver on this objective, we added a new capability called instance management to intelligently load and play back Flash content only after it comes within view on the web page. This capability also allows us to work in conjunction with the browser to ensure the web page is loaded as quickly as possible.
A related capability we added is called pause and resume. Flash Player will automatically pause the content that is running when the browser is hidden from view or the current tab is placed in the background. Not only does this conserve power, but it allows the content to instantly hibernate should an important trigger event occur, such as an incoming phone call. Once the user returns to their browser session, the HTML page and the Flash content are returned to their exact point prior to the trigger event.
Another example of a power-saving capability we have developed is called timer throttling. Flash Player makes use of timers to control the speed of content execution. When the screen display dims, Flash Player utilizes this signal to automatically throttle back the speed at which the content is executing while the device is in this power-saving mode. In the case where the content is playing back audio or video, Flash Player will not throttle it back to ensure a seamless media playback experience.
These new capabilities in Flash Player 10.1 offer some insight into the priority we placed on conserving power and staying true to the goal of maximizing battery life on mobile devices.
Maximizing Performance
The architecture of mobile platforms is very different from desktops, laptops, and netbooks. To take advantage of these highly integrated hardware environments, we took a very comprehensive look at how Flash Player uses the CPU, GPU, memory, and storage. The Flash Player team, with engineering cooperation across our Open Screen Project partners, meticulously optimized the machine instructions used in our virtual machine, rendering engine, and media codecs to run efficiently on mobile hardware.
In the case of the ActionScript 3 virtual machine, we updated our just-in-time compiler to emit native ARM instructions to maximize the execution speed of applications on these platforms. With a significant portion of the Flash content on the web having been written in ActionScript 1 and 2, we also invested in increasing the execution speed of this content.
In addition, Flash Player will take advantage of the purpose-built hardware on the mobile device including the media decoders to optimize the playback of content such as H.264 video and AAC audio streams. This specialized hardware can often perform a specific task more efficiently than the CPU. Not only does this result in higher fidelity playback, but it can yield a nice power savings.
The investments we made in execution speed will be apparent in a broad range of content, from Flash applications to games to video, and everything in between. We took an extensive look at the performance characteristics of Flash Player in many different scenarios and drove considerable improvements in the execution speed. As a result of this work, most Flash content on the web today will execute more efficiently with no changes required to receive these benefits.
Conserving Memory
Mobile platforms have considerably less memory than most personal computers and Flash Player 10.1 includes numerous optimizations to minimize the amount of memory required for content and applications. We have added automatic compression of media in memory to matchthe typically smaller screen size and color depth of a mobile device. We have also enhanced the memory garbage collection system to work more effectively, particularly in low memory situations. We made changes to more aggressively release temporary buffers and media caches for images and audio data. These changes have translated into some dramatic improvements. In some cases, you'll see content that now automatically consumes 50% less memory with Flash Player 10.1 when compared to our previous release.
Another important enhancement we made relates to streaming media. In some cases, content such as video is buffered in memory to allow the user to quickly seek forward or backward. In the case of mobile platforms, we added a new circular buffering capability that allows Flash Player to constrain the size of the media buffer and recycle this memory as the content plays. This new capability strikes a balance between allowing the user to navigate within sequential media, like video, and the amount of memory that content can consume.
The Flash Player team also did a lot of development around low memory support, as this is a common situation on mobile devices. To protect against content that requires too much memory for the device, we added a new system that detects when memory is running low so defensive actions can be taken to prevent a crash. In this case, the Flash Player now has a set of heuristics to shut down content when resources are running low or depleted and gracefully exit the content. This work will also benefit personal computer users that have many tabs open in their browser such that their PC is operating in a low memory situation.
Usability and Interactivity
The last topic I'll cover is usability. In this case, it's critically important that Flash content on a smart phone both behave consistently with the HTML page and enable rich interactivity with media in Flash. For example, as a web page can be zoomed using a multi-touch gesture by the user, the Flash content needs to enable that to happen seamlessly. If the user rotates the phone to switch into landscape mode, the Flash content responds as you'd expect. If the user double-taps to zoom in or out, the Flash content responds in a consistent, intuitive way. We have enhanced this interaction to enable a new smart-zoom capability, bringing zoomed Flash content to the best width/height dimension for the device to enable easy viewing of video and other content in Flash. We have also added the ability for content to specify that it should automatically go into full screen mode on first interaction in order to enable easy full screen interactivity with games. This new mode is indicated to the user with a message about how to exit full screen mode on their particular device.
The Flash Player team added a number of new capabilities that are essential to smart phones. Text fields in Flash will automatically take advantage of virtual or soft keyboards for text entry when a physical input device is not available. In this case, the text field is intelligently repositioned on the screen to facilitate text input.
In addition, Flash Player exposes some of the unique capabilities of mobile platforms, including access to the accelerometer. This will allow the Flash development community to create content that leverages some of the unique capabilities. We've got more work to do here, but we're off to a good start and look forward to exposing new capabilities in the future, such as geolocation support.
These examples demonstrate the importance of ensuring that Flash content on a mobile device offers a predictable and intuitive experience to the end-user. To help ensure that we got the experience right, we conducted multiple rounds of usability testing to try out new ideas and improve the experience based on the feedback we received. Our goal was to ensure that existing content simply works as expected and ultimately allow smart phone users to experience the full glory of the web.
Looking Ahead
As we look forward, it's important to note that this is just the start of our work to bring the full Flash Player to mobile devices. We will continue to improve on this effort as we support a broad range of smart phones, tablets, televisions, and other devices. Of course, a number of these optimizations and improvements will also directly benefit Flash Player on desktop and netbook platforms. At the same time, we've seen content publishers like Sony Pictures, Nickelodeon, Miniclip, Warner Brothers, Kongregate, South Park Studios and others already optimizing their sites to deliver the best possible experience within the context of smaller screens. Developers, who are looking for tips about optimizing Flash content for mobile devices should check out this document.
Smartphones in market today that will be able to run Flash Player 10.1 include the Nexus One, DROID by Motorola, HTC Evo, HTC Incredible, HTC Desire, Samsung Galaxy S, Motorola Milestone and others, but will depend on FroYo availability for a given device. Upgrade mechanisms and timing will vary by device and device manufacturer. To make it as easy as possible to install Flash Player, we are enabling over-the-air downloads which include content-initiated downloads, system software updates, and on-device app catalogs. Over time, a number of new phones are planned to ship with Flash Player 10.1 preinstalled. We're thrilled to take the first step today and can't wait to see how millions of Flash developers will innovate for mobile devices.
I hope you're as excited about the future and the opportunities ahead as we are.

Q. The railroad crossing near Taft Avenue and Glassell Street in Orange seems to be defective. Quite a few times, around 7 a.m., the crossing lights flash and the barriers go down but no train comes. One day this happened four times in a row with no train. Also, after the crossing arms go up, the traffic light for drivers traveling west on Taft Avenue stays red for five to seven minutes at a time. Why is this? Can anything be done to address this?
– Charles Kaupke, Villa Park
A. First and foremost, Charles, the crossing signal is not malfunctioning, said Metrolink spokesman Jeff Lustgarten.
"On behalf of Metrolink, we apologize for any inconvenience this crossing signal may have caused you," Lustgarten said.
This particular issue is likely caused by any one of a few legit reasons: maintenance equipment operating on the track; freight trains switching rail cars nearby; or a slow-moving Metrolink train waiting for clearance to move onto tracks operated by BNSF Railway, Lustgarten said.
Metrolink's crossing equipment is connected with the city of Orange's traffic signal at this particular intersection so that motorists have ample warning about the oncoming commuter trains, which generally run through Orange around 6:30, 7 and 7:30 a.m., Lustgarten said.
"If he did not see a train moving through the crossing, I would be very surprised," Lustgarten said.
The city of Orange's Public Works Department has asked Metrolink officials to alleviate the problem by limiting maintenance activity to off-peak hours, said city spokesman Paul Sitkoff. The request has solved part of the problem, but hasn't completely eliminated it, Sitkoff said.
To report problems at Metrolink crossings: 888-446-9721.
Q. I would like to know why the southbound Kraemer Boulevard onramp to the westbound 91 freeway in Anaheim is not metered during evening rush hour? The northbound Kraemer Boulevard/Glassell Street entrance to the westbound 91 freeway seems to be metered. The number of cars pouring into these entrances causes mass congestion and makes for a dangerous situation. Can Caltrans run a meter at this entrance during the evening rush hour?
– Susan Petrella, Fullerton
A. Great catch, Susan. It turns out the southbound Kraemer/Glassell onramp meter is damaged and will be repaired in the near future, Caltrans spokeswoman Yvonne Washington said. Caltrans investigated this spot after hearing about your concern.
"Thank you for an opportunity to maximize transportation-system performance and accessibility," Washington said.

|A slight crunch on the outside and chewy on the inside, these light and airy cookies are made with coconut, sugar, flour and beaten egg whites.
Coconut MacaroonsCoconut Macaroons are another fabulous and super easy cookie to add to your Christmas sweets tray, but don't confuse them with French macarons, which, although meringue based, are sandwiched with some kind of a filling and a whole 'nother kinda cookie.
These are primarily coconut based cookies that are tossed with sugar, a tiny bit of flour and beaten egg whites, making them not quite as crisp as a meringue cookie, but very light and airy, with just a bit of chew. I just love them!
There are wide variations in how these are made nowadays, including a newer recipe that excludes the sugar and flour and replaces it with sweetened condensed milk, a little like the filling in Martha Washington candy. I like this old school recipe that dates back to the 1960s the best. Imagine that!
You should get anywhere between 16 to 24 cookies from this batch, depending entirely on how big you drop them, and will keep about 4 to 5 days at room temperature in a well sealed container, or a bit longer if refrigerated.
Here's how to make them.
Recipe: Coconut Macaroons©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 10 min |Cook time: 15 min | Yield: About 16
- 2 large egg whites
- 1/8 teaspoon of cream of tartar
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 cup of granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour
- 1 (14 ounce) bag of sweetened, flaked coconut

|MLBPA News Release
Major League Baseball Players Association executive director Tony Clark today issued the following statement regarding recent public remarks by club officials about Stephen Drew and Kendrys Morales that clearly violate the parties' collectively bargained agreements:
"I am angered that numerous, anonymous baseball executives have blatantly and intentionally violated our collective bargaining agreement by offering to ESPN comments about the free-agent values of Stephen Drew and Kendrys Morales. These statements undermine the free-agent rights of the players and depress their market value. Today, I have called upon the Commissioner's Office to investigate immediately and thoroughly the sources of these statements and to take appropriate action to enforce our agreement."
