SASL (Simple Authentication and Security Layer) can negotiate one of many different kinds of authentication. Both synchronous and asynchro- nous versions of each variant of the bind call are provided. All rou- tines take ld as their first parameter, as returned from ldap_init(3). SIMPLE AUTHENTICATION The simplest form of the bind call is ldap_simple_bind_s(). It takes the DN to bind as in who, and the userPassword associated with the entry in passwd. It returns an LDAP error indication (see ldap_error(3)). The ldap_simple_bind() call is asynchronous, taking the same parameters but only initiating the bind operation and return- ing the message id of the request it sent. The result of the operation can be obtained by a subsequent call to ldap_result(3). GENERAL AUTHENTICATION The ldap_bind() and ldap_bind_s() routines can be used when the authen- tication method to use needs to be selected at runtime. They both take an extra method parameter selecting the authentication method to use. It should be set to LDAP_AUTH_SIMPLE to select simple authentication. ldap_bind() returns the message id of the request it initiates. ldap_bind_s() returns an LDAP error indication. SASL AUTHENTICATION For SASL binds the server always ignores any provided DN, so the dn parameter should always be NULL. ldap_sasl_bind_s() sends a single SASL bind request with the given SASL mechanism and credentials in the cred parameter. The format of the credentials depends on the particular SASL mechanism in use. For mechanisms that provide mutual authentica- tion the server's credentials will be returned in the servercredp parameter. The routine returns an LDAP error indication (see ldap_error(3)). The ldap_sasl_bind() call is asynchronous, taking the same parameters but only sending the request and returning the message id of the request it sent. The result of the operation can be obtained by a subsequent call to ldap_result(3). The result must be addition- ally parsed by ldap_parse_sasl_bind_result() to obtain any server cre- dentials sent from the server. Many SASL mechanisms require multiple message exchanges to perform a complete authentication. Applications should generally use ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s() rather than calling the basic ldap_sasl_bind() functions directly. The mechs parameter should contain a space-separated list of candidate mechanisms to use. If this parame- ter is NULL or empty the library will query the supportedSASLMechanisms attribute from the server's rootDSE for the list of SASL mechanisms the server supports. The flags parameter controls the interaction used to retrieve any necessary SASL authentication parameters and should be one of: LDAP_SASL_AUTOMATIC function. The sasl_interact parameter comes from the underlying SASL library. When used with Cyrus SASL this is an array of sasl_interact_t structures. The Cyrus SASL library will prompt for a variety of inputs, including: SASL_CB_GETREALM the realm for the authentication attempt SASL_CB_AUTHNAME the username to authenticate SASL_CB_PASS the password for the provided username SASL_CB_USER the username to use for proxy authorization SASL_CB_NOECHOPROMPT generic prompt for input with input echoing disabled SASL_CB_ECHOPROMPT generic prompt for input with input echoing enabled SASL_CB_LIST_END indicates the end of the array of prompts See the Cyrus SASL documentation for more details. Applications which need to manage connections asynchronously may use ldap_sasl_interactive_bind() instead of the synchronous version. A valid mechs parameter must be supplied, otherwise the library will be forced to query the server for a list of supported mechanisms, and this query will be performed synchronously. The other parameters are the same as for the synchronous function, with three additional parameters. The actual SASL mechanism that was used, and the message ID for use with ldap_result() will be returned in rmechp and msgidp, respectively. The value in rmechp must not be modified by the caller and must be passed back on each subsequent call. The message obtained from ldap_result() must be passed in the result parameter. This parameter must be NULL when initiating a new Bind. The caller must free the result message after each call using ldap_msgfree(). The ldap_sasl_interactive_bind() function returns an LDAP result code. If the code is LDAP_SASL_BIND_IN_PROGRESS then the Bind is not complete yet, and this function must be called again with the next result from the server. REBINDING The ldap_set_rebind_proc function() sets the process to use for binding when an operation returns a referral. This function is used when an application needs to bind to another server in order to follow a refer- ral or search continuation reference. The function takes ld, the rebind function, and the params, the arbi- trary data like state information which the client might need to prop- tion to parse the string into its components. The request parameter specifies the type of request that generated the referral. The msgid parameter specifies the message ID of the request generating the referral. The params parameter is the same value as passed originally to the ldap_set_rebind_proc() function. The LDAP libraries set all the parameters when they call the rebind function. The application should not attempt to free either the ld or the url structures in the rebind function. The application must supply to the rebind function the required authen- tication information such as, user name, password, and certificates. The rebind function must use a synchronous bind method. UNBINDING The ldap_unbind() call is used to unbind from the directory, terminate the current association, and free the resources contained in the ld structure. Once it is called, the connection to the LDAP server is closed, and the ld structure is invalid. The ldap_unbind_s() call is just another name for ldap_unbind(); both of these calls are synchro- nous in nature. The ldap_unbind_ext() and ldap_unbind_ext_s() allows the operations to specify controls. ERRORS Asynchronous routines will return -1 in case of error, setting the ld_errno parameter of the ld structure. Synchronous routines return whatever ld_errno is set to. See ldap_error(3) for more information. NOTES If an anonymous bind is sufficient for the application, the rebind process need not be provided. The LDAP libraries with the LDAP_OPT_REFERRALS option set to ON (default value) will automatically follow referrals using an anonymous bind. If the application needs stronger authentication than an anonymous bind, you need to provide a rebind process for that authentication method. The bind method must be synchronous.

text: Spirit Airlines will start charging more than double what it currently does if passengers wait to pay for carry-on bags at the gate. By Cameron Huddleston, Former Online Editor October 3, 2012 A few months ago I asked George Hobica, founder of Airfarewatchdog.com, what airlines don't charge for, considering many levy a fee on everything from seat selection to blankets and pillows. Among the things he listed that most airlines don't make travelers pay extra for was the use of overhead bins. Most -- but not all. DOWNLOAD: The Kip Tips iPad App Spirit Airlines, which currently charges $20 to $45 for carry-ons, recently announced that it will start charging a $100 carry-on bag fee November 6. Talk about a hefty fee. Granted, only passengers who wait until the boarding gate to pay for bags that will be stored in an overhead bin will have to pay the steep fee, which Spirit says in a press release was "intentionally set high to deter costly delay-causing gate activity." But Spirit also will be raising carry-on fees for customers who pay prior to arriving at the gate. Starting November 6, the standard fee will be $35 (a $5 increase) for customers who pay for carry-ons when they book their flight or before check-in. Customers who pay for a carry-on at the check-in counter will be charged $50 (a $10 increase). Advertisement According to Airfarewatchdog.com's guide to airline fees, Spirit is one of only two airlines that charge for carry-on bags (Allegiant is the other). All the major airlines, other than Southwest and JetBlue, charge passengers for checking bags but give them a pass when they bring small luggage onto planes and stash it in the space above their heads. Not only does Spirit charge for carry-ons, but also it levies fees on checked bags. And it charges a slew of other fees that can reach as high as $125. Its base fares are super cheap, though (as low as $9 for Fare Club members). But you'll end up paying as much as you would to fly on a major airline if you don't do enough advance planning to avoid extra charges when flying on Spirit.

Phenomenologically researching the lecturer-student teacher relationship: Some challenges encountered
David Giles
The teacher-student relationship has long been of primary concern to educators and the focus of much educational research. While various theoretical understandings of this relationship exist, ontological understandings of the lived experiences of this relationship are not so prevalent, and there is thus a call for phenomenological studies aimed at uncovering the essential and ontological meanings of this taken for granted phenomenon. This paper reports on such a project and, in particular, some of the challenges encountered in the process of phenomenologically researching the relationship which arises in the context of teacher education between the lecturer and the student teacher.
The challenges of phenomenological research are both numerous and complex. These challenges relate to the intensity of the lived experience of the research itself, the meditative attunement of the researcher to the focal phenomenon, and the process of walking in a research process that is mindful of one's own historicity (Gadamer, 1960/1995). While the primary focus of this paper is on the challenges of researching the lecturer-student teacher relationship in a phenomenological way, it nevertheless reflects the unique capacity of a phenomenological approach to respect the centrality and humanity of relationship and to open understanding that affirms this.

House GOP thinks unthinkable on DOD cuts
The Republican mantra for decades has been: cut NPR, EPA and the National Endowment for the Arts.
Now add the Pentagon to the list.
Story Continued Below
In the modern history of the Republican Party, it would have been unthinkable. The GOP is built on two core tenets — small government and big defense spending — and for decades, the two ideas co-existed peacefully. Republicans wanted to cut the federal budget — everywhere except the Pentagon. No more.
( Also on POLITICO: Partisan paralysis returns to the Hill)
The reason: A new breed of conservatives in the House cares so much about cutting spending they're willing to extend that to the budget for bullets and bombs, too — in this case, by letting $500 billion in across-the-board automatic budget cuts over 10 years take effect, alongside a similar number for domestic agencies.
"I'm reading what a lot of different members are saying, and I find there's not as much opposition to sequestration as I thought there might be," Rep. Bill Young (R-Fla.), the chairman of the House Appropriations subcommittee in charge of the Pentagon's purse strings, told POLITICO.
"I don't think I have any real feeling for which direction this House is going, and this is the first time in a long time that I haven't had a pretty good feel for it," Young added.
( Also on POLITICO: Double whammy for Pentagon)
It's got defense hawks in the House on edge — and on the defensive. But the members of the next generation say their argument is straightforward: Of course they want a strong national defense, but spending is spending.
"What you're hearing from some folks about the status of the sequester simply tells you that there's a group of Republicans who are willing to look at the Defense Department equally with the other departments," said Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-S.C.), a sophomore who has been leading the campaign for spending cuts, including at the Pentagon.
"I think Republicans lose credibility when they say we have to look everywhere for savings except defense," he added.
Republican Policy Committee Chairman James Lankford of Oklahoma said sequester isn't his first choice. He'd rather shift cuts to domestic programs, but he knows that's an idea Senate Democrats aren't going to swallow.
"I haven't done the head count, but I can tell you a large part is committed to saying we have to reduce spending. We'd rather do it another way. But if the only way it can be done is sequestration, then it has to be done," said Lankford, a sophomore who quickly rose to the top ranks of Republican leadership.
Right now, bets are on the automatic cuts taking place. It would take a dramatic, last-minute action from the White House to prevent them.
And sequestration saber rattling is loud enough that the defense industry is taking notice. Pentagon brass, who had long insisted they weren't planning for sequestration, outlined several short-term personnel measures in case Congress doesn't turn off the automatic cuts by the March 1 deadline, including hiring freezes, voluntary early retirements and furloughs of up to 30 days.

The International Resilience Project (IRP) aims to develop a more culturally sensitive understanding of how youth around the world effectively cope with the adversities that they face. The IRP uses a unique cross-cultural approach that employs both quantitative and qualitative research methods to examine individual, interpersonal, family, community and cultural factors associated with building resilience in youth around the world. In particular, the study has helped to develop the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM) and a tool box of qualitative research techniques.
During the first 3-year phase of the research, the IRP piloted and integrated innovative quantitative and qualitative research methods and collected data with over 1500 children in 14 communities on five continents. We continue to collect data on the applicability of our research tools, both qualitative and quantitative, through partnerships with colleagues in countries around the world. This work continues through out other research projects; Pathways to Resilience, Negotiating Resilience, and Spaces and Places.
The second phase of our project undertakes a number of different qualitative and quantitative research initiatives to further our investigation of the culturally and contextually varied ways resilience is understood, as well as good outcomes achieved by children faced with adversities such as poverty, war, violence, drugs, the illness of a parent, family or community dislocation and cultural disintegration.
The International Resilience Project's partners' and colleagues' perspectives on resilience can be heard on the IRP Video, 'What does Resilience mean to you?'
The International Resilience Project aims to develop research methods appropriate to the study of health related phenomena in at-risk child and youth populations in different cultural contexts. The project also attempts to address the arbitrariness in the selection of outcome variables that are chosen to study youth resilience.
All participants had experienced at least three culturally significant risk factors such as poverty, war, social dislocation, cultural genocide, violence, marginalization, drug and alcohol addiction, family breakdown, mental illness, or early pregnancy.
Adults were also asked to participate; some adults also experienced adversity and some had something important to say about these issues in their community.
All participating youth were asked to complete a questionnaire, the Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM). Some were also asked to participate in an one-on-one interview where they could talk about their lives. Adults were asked to participate in a focus group where they could talk about their lives and how they understood the challenges facing youth in their communities.
The international team members met to discuss literature and existing instruments related to youth resilience, and to speak about their communities and what challenges youth experience living there. Based on this meeting, a qualitative interview schedule was developed that researchers were to use in focus groups with adults and youth in their community. From these focus groups, each site made a list of questions that one should ask in order to understand what it takes to grow-up well in that community. These lists were compiled at 58 questions were chosen for the first version of the CYRM.
At least 2 youth from each site also participated in the qualitative component of the study. During these interviews youth were asked questions such as "what would I need to know to grow up well here" and "What does it mean to you, to your family, and to your community when bad things happen."
The Child and Youth Resilience Measure (CYRM) is a measure of the resources (individual, relational, communal and cultural) available to individuals that may bolster their resilience. The measure has 3 subscales accounting for personal, relational, and contextual factors implicated in resilience processes. The CRYM-28 seeks to provide a more inclusive understanding of the processes of resilience across culture and context, accounting for the heterogeneity of culture and experiences of youth.
The CYRM was originally designed for use with youth aged 9 to 23 years old. Since its initial validation, the measure has also been adapted into a 26 item version for use with children aged 5 to 9 years old, a 28 item version for use with adults (aged 24 and older) and a 28 item version used to obtain data from a person most knowledgeable (PMK) about a child/youth's life. For all four versions of the CYRM (child, youth, adult, and PMK) a reduced resilience measure consisting of 12 items is available as well as versions offering either a 3 point response scale or 5 point response scale.
In addition to the development of the CYRM, the team identified 7 tensions (access to material resources, relationships, identity, power and control, cultural adherence, social justice and cohesion). The findings from the IRP can be summarized as 4 propositions supported by the data:
- Resilience has both global and culturally/contextually specific aspects.
- Aspects of resilience exert different amounts of influence on a child's life depending on the specific culture and context in which resilience is realized.
- Aspects of children's lives that contribute to resilience are related to one another in patterns that reflect a child's culture and context.
- How tensions between individuals and their cultures and contexts are resolved will affect the way aspects of resilience group together.
Research Sites:
There are 14 original research sites participating in the study. Each research site was selected for the diversity it brought to understanding children and youth in high-risk environments. The following are links to information on each research site and results from the first phase of the research:
Canadian Sites
- Sheshatshui, Labrador
- Halifax, Nova Scotia
- Youth in Halifax experience marginalization, discrimination, and violence due to sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, and gender. Other threats that youth endure include: mental, emotional, and physical health problems; problems in school; inclusion in criminal activities; homelessness; childhood traumas (such as physical, mental, and sexual abuse); parental alcoholism and drug addiction; personal addiction to alcohol and drugs; early sexual behavior; and poverty (Risk factors and context information provided by the IRP site partners).
- Two Research sites are in Winnipeg, Manitoba
- Youth in Winnipeg experience marginalization, discrimination, and violence due to sexual orientation, race, ethnicity, and gender. Other threats that youth endure include: mental, emotional, and physical health problems; problems in school; inclusion in criminal activities; homelessness; childhood traumas (such as physical, mental, and sexual abuse); parental alcoholism and drug addiction; personal addiction to alcohol and drugs; early sexual behavior; and poverty (Risk factors and context information provided by the IRP site partners).
- In addition to poverty, high rates of unemployment, and isolation as a community, the Innu youth of Labrador have among the highest rates of suicide in the world; suicide is the leading cause of death for youth in Sheshatshiu. Media attention has focused on widespread and increasing addiction to solvents among the youth of Sheshatshiu (Context and risk factors provided by IRP site partners, the Sheshatshiu Innu Band Council). Parental neglect, family violence, crime, smoking, and health problems are also above national norms for youth (Sheshatshiu: An Innu community's battle with addiction. CBC News Online, Dec. 14, 2004, from CBC Website:http://www.cbc.ca/news2/background/aboriginals/sheshatshiu.html). Despite these risks, youth (with support from their community and elders) are increasingly taking control of their rights and their futures. They are raising their voices to decry environmental atrocities by multinational corporations and government, to fight for self-determination, and to insist that their culture be brought back into community events.
International Sites
- Banjul, The Gambia
- Approximately 69% of the population in The Gambia lives below the poverty line (Gambia At A Glance. Unicef. Retrieved from Unicef Website November 6, 2005 from Website: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/gambia.html). Unemployment and underemployment rates are extremely high and the country relies heavily on sustained bilateral and multilateral aid (The Gambia Demographics. GE World Source. Retrieved November 6, 2005 from GE World Source Website: http://www.gesource.ac.uk/worldguide/html/888_people.html). Other risks faced by youth in The Gambia include poverty, HIV/AIDS, gender-based violence, barriers to school enrollment (particularly for girls), early marriages, and teen pregnancy.
- Cape Town, South Africa
- Since the end of Apartheid, the government has taken steps to improve basic services; but health, housing, education, sanitation, and access to potable water pose challenges for youth. Vast disparities exist between the rich and the poor in the city, with inequalities falling largely along racial lines (South Africa At a Glance. Unicef. Retrieved November 3, 2005, from Unicef Website: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/southafrica.html (2005)). Other risk factors faced by youth in this setting include: weakening traditional, social, and extended family support systems; a dislocation between generations; gender inequality; violence; drug-related gangs; crime; and HIV/AIDS (Risk factors and context information provided by IRP site partner, Quinton Adams, at Stellenbosch University, South Africa). Nonetheless, youth in Cape Town reported feeling a sense of hope that they could rebuild their communities and successfully find employment.
- East Jerusalem, Palestinian Occupied Territories
- After five years of the Intifada (Palestinian struggle against Israeli occupation), unemployment has skyrocketed - with a total unemployment rate of 70% in the Gaza Strip and 60% in the West Bank. Since the beginning of the Intifada, more than 500 Palestinian children have been killed and 9,000 have been injured and are living with disabilities. Primary and secondary health care centers lack equipment and medical staff are subject to enforced restrictions. Many children exhibit signs of Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which affects their ability to cope with continuing major life stressors. Daily adversities faced by youth include death and injury to family and friends, crime, poverty, malnutrition, frustration and few, imposed curfews, and home confinement (Palestinian Occupied Territories At a Glance. Unicef. Retrieved November 3, 2005 from Unicef Website: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/oPt.html).
- Hong Kong, China
- Imphal, India
- Manipur has been plagued by insurgency for five decades and has been in violation of human rights across all spheres of industry and government. School children and college students routinely join, or are ironically forced to join, joint action committees protesting violations of human rights. Youth have come to accept violence as a part of their lives, and it is standard procedure to demand compensation money from the government for lives lost. As a result, youth are vulnerable to high-risk behaviors as drug users or as non-state actors in revolutionary movement(s) (All context information, risk factors and statistics provided by IRP site partners Don Bosco and Dr. Irene Salam-Singh, Department of History, Manipur University, India). Imphal provides access to children and youth living in poverty, coping with an economy in transition and confronted by sectarian violence.
- China, and in particular Hong Kong, has undergone sweeping demographic and social change in recent decades, and much of it has affected youth. Despite this, the Government does not have a consistent policy focusing on youth development. Enrollment levels in schools have skyrocketed; and researchers are now beginning to see the effects of stress related to school pressures in youth. Youth are choosing to marry later, but engage in sexual activity earlier. As a result, the number of abortions in Hong Kong is increasing. Other risks that youth in Hong Kong face include mental health problems and suicide, obesity and eating disorders, crime, drug abuse, and depleted health due to smoking (Risk factors obtained from: Yip, Teem-Wing (October, 2000). A sustained commitment towards youth in Hong Kong: A policy to meet their needs, acknowledge their worth and enrich their lives. Retrieved November 6, 2005 from Website: http://www.citizensparty.org/community/youth/youth-paper.pdf).
- Medellín, Colombia
- Medellin houses one the most sophisticated drug trafficking operations in the world and has been the victim of its influence (experiencing corruption, violence, insecurity, murder ing of public leaders and policemen). But perhaps the most important heritage left by drug traffickers is a dramatic change in attitudes, practices, and laws and social norms respected in the community. Increasing inequity in Medellin over the past two decades is an important factor influencing social dynamics. Some of the adversities experienced by youth in Medellin include violence, kidnapping, corruption, lack of working opportunities, unequal access to health and higher education, domestic violence, increasing unwanted adolescent pregnancy, and weak social support (Context information and risk factors obtained from IRP Site Partners in Colombia).
- Moscow, Russia
- Russia has no national youth policy. In 2004, over 500,000 children were in state-care, attributed in part to alarming domestic violence rates, increased abandonment, and orphaning. In Moscow, thousands of youth are homeless and vulnerable to exploitation and prostitution. HIV/AIDS is a rapidly growing epidemic, but the actual number of individuals infected is unknown due to stigmatization (Russian Federation Background. Unicef. Retrieved from Unicef Website: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/russia_background.html). Other risk factors faced by youth in Moscow include: poor health and communicable diseases, sexual and physical violence, high rates of suicide, and malnutrition. Despite cultural, political, and economic disintegration in Moscow, the IRP learned that youth have relied on persistence and consistency to achieve their goals and overcome adversity (Context and risk factors provided by IRP site partners at the Institute of Psychology, Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow, Russia).
- Moshi, Tanzania
- Currently, the HIV/AIDS epidemic is a crisis in Tanzania and has orphaned an estimated two-million children (At a glance: United Republic of Tanzania. Unicef, Retrieved November 3, 2005 from UnicefWebsite: http://www.unicef.org/infobycountry/tanzania.html). Stigma and denial around the disease create further challenges for youth. Other key adversities in this setting include: poverty, malnutrition, gender-based practices, low quality of education, and inadequate health and social services (Risk factors and context information provided by Project Children's Rights Trust, Tanzania). Many children are being supported by single parents and by grandparents due to divorce, separation, and loss of parents due to HIV/AIDS.
- Tampa, Florida
- The city of Tampa ranks 25th in the USA as one of the least safe cities, based on crime statistics (Risk factors and context information provided by IRP site partners at the Louis de la Parte Florida Mental Health Institute). Vehicle theft, rapes, robbery, and aggravated assault are common. The number of children and teens killed by fi rearms in Florida in 2003 was 137, which included 86 homicides, 43 suicides, 4 accidents, and 4 of unknown intent (Florida Crime Index Rates Per 100,000 Inhabitants. The Disaster Center. Retrieved November 6, 2005 from The Disaster Center Website: http://www.disastercenter.com/crime/flcrime.htm). Other key adversities faced by Florida youth include: mental, physical, and emotional challenges; parental neglect and abuse; and drug abuse.
- Tel Aviv, Israel
- Despite a flourishing economy for some sectors in the city, populations living outside of the city are often marginalized and economically depressed. The proportion of children living in poverty has increased steadily, with approximately 25% of Israeli children living below the poverty line (Major Issues Facing Children and Young People in Israel. International Youth Foundation. Retrieved November 3, 2005 from International Youth Foundation Website: http://www.iyfnet.org/section.cfm/76/90/102). The issues faced by youth in Tel Aviv include poverty, child abuse and neglect, educational difficulties, and marginalization. Perhaps most pressing is the central-role that war and conflict play in the lives of Israeli youth. The effects are paramount to youth well being; many children in Israel show symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) (Context and risk factors provided by IRP site partner Zahava Solomon, School of Social Work, Tel Aviv University, Israel).
New sites are constantly joining the project. The map below shows the areas in which the research is being replicated:
Each site includes a small advisory committee of two to three local individuals who can help to identify appropriate ways to access youth, help to define the construct of resilience, and oversee the ethical application of the research in their community. These individuals are also influential in their community of service providers and act as aids for dissemination of results to practitioners and policy makers.

LAS VEGAS — Another year, another $8 Coke from the minibar.
The International Consumer Electronics Show is upon us again, and you can follow our extensive coverage right here on Gadgetwise. The Times's staff is flooding the zone, reporting from conference rooms, convention centers and open bars all across fabulous Las Vegas.
As is the case each year, the first order of business is to suss out the big themes of the show before it actually happens. So, with that in mind, here are our picks for things to watch for over the next few techtastic days.
Behold, the Ultrabook! Three years ago, the biggest theme at C.E.S. was, "Are we all going to go out of business?" But the next-biggest theme was netbooks — those small, inexpensive, somewhat underpowered portable computers that were supposed to take over the world. The following year, the word on everyone's lips at C.E.S. was "tablet." And the exact same word was on everyone's lips last year too.
This year we may hear less about tablets (in part because no one but Amazon released a remotely viable iPad competitor in 2011). Having watched Apple chalk up another success with its wafer-thin line of MacBook Air laptops, other PC makers are now ready to show off their own ideas about what a full-powered, superthin laptop should be.
Well, it's only partly their ideas. Many of the specifications surrounding this entirely-made-up ultrabook category (what's next, megabook? Turbobook? Ne plus ultrabook?) come from Intel, which is pushing a combination of hardware to various manufacturers like Samsung, Lenovo, Dell, Acer and Hewlett-Packard, which can then tweak it to their own needs. Ultrabooks are light, powerful and svelte. What they are not is cheap: expect prices to air-kiss $1,000.
Gadgets Telling Us to Eat Less, Exercise More The growth of wearable sensors, starting with products like the Fitbit and continuing through more recent entries like Jawbone's Up, continues at C.E.S. this year. Expect to see a bevy of wearable devices, including a bandage-like patch from BodyMedia, a spinout from Carnegie Mellon's skunk works, that will monitor approximately 5,000 data points on its wearer. Using technology developed by I.B.M., the patch can determine things like calories burned, steps taken, sleep patterns and much more. The data can then be interpreted using sophisticated algorithms that will then make suggestions. Anyone want to put money down that 99.9 percent of those suggestions will be something along the lines of: "Put the hoagie down. Sleep more. Go run or something."? Just speculating here.
Las Vegas? You Sure We're Not in Detroit? The role of automakers at C.E.S. has been steadily growing. This year brings back Ford, and there are some first-timers like Mercedes-Benz. There are two trends to watch here: The rise of the "connected car," which can take the various apps and content off your smartphone and redistribute them around the dashboard, and the growth of automatic safety systems that can keep you from rear-ending someone, drifting out of your lane or missing a car in your blind spot — presumably because, in part, you have apps and content all over your dashboard.
There will most likely be other trends and trendlets as the show progresses, not to mention a number of new products announced. We'll be doing big-picture analysis as well as quick-hit product coverage through Wednesday. Check back early and often for the latest.

NAMASTE: Adaptive Optimizations in InterpretersZeit: Mon 8.10.2012, 16:30, 60 Minuten
Ort: Science Park 3, room S3 057
ZusammenfassungInterpreters inhabit a sweet spot on the performance/price curve of programming language implementations. This means that it is cheaper to implement an interpreter than a compiler, but on the other hand that compilers are usually faster than interpreters. This is particularly true for high abstraction-level interpreters, where many traditional optimizations are not effective. Consequently, such interpreters have a bad reputation for being too slow.

 This talk focuses on a previously successful line of research in purely interpretative optimizations carried out at the Institute of Computer Languages (TU Vienna), and presents new results of continuing this line of research. In particular, we give a brief overview of purely interpretative inline caching using quickening and show how to leverage this foundation for a novel optimization: native machine-abstraction execution, or NAMASTE for short. We have implemented NAMASTE and report that this technique boosts our previously maximum reported speedup by more than 40%: from a factor of up to 2.4 to a factor of up to 3.4. Since this technique is purely interpretative, too, it offers the usual benefits of interpreters: ease of implementation, portability, and---compared to a just-in-time compiler, constant and low memory usage.
VortragenderStefan Brunthaler received his PhD in 2011 from the Vienna University of Technology under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Knoop, and has been working as Postdoctoral Scholar at the Secure Systems and Languages Laboratory at the University of California, Irvine, since April 2011. At the SSLLab his primary research interests are in the areas of language-based security (specifically researching the area of large-scale automated software diversity) and the efficient implementation of dynamically-typed programming languages, with a focus on Python. In addition, he worked on an early prototype of an "upcompiler", which refers to the decompilation of a legacy binary to Java source code.

Each wrench has four toothed jaws that firmly grip hex heads by the flats. Because the jaws are toothed for grip, they can even turn damaged nuts and pipe or tubing.
The small wrench has a capacity of 1/4" to 9/16" (7mm to 14mm) and the large has a capacity of 1/2" to 3/4" (13mm to 20mm) – together, the equivalent of nine SAE wrenches or 14 metric wrenches.

Earlier in the week I compared iPhone Twitter app timeline views, and since fair is fair, it seemed only right that I do the same for iPad Twitter apps. And again, Twitter's cold war with client developers notwithstanding, there's some amazing investment to be found here. Now, while the iPad doesn't enjoy the the breadth of Twitter apps, due to the larger screen there's an even better opportunity for depth. Instead of the 15 + 3 I found for the iPhone, here are 8 + 1 for the iPad.
Gridded up, there's a lot of variety, from more expansive versions of essentially the same iPhone interfaces, to bold takes on what's capable at tablet scale. Like before, I used the exact same feed point for each client, with the exception of the legacy app at the bottom. It includes an @mention so that we can see how, if at all, a client highlights or otherwise distinguishes that type of post. I also got rid of ads, wherever possible, to keep things clean. However, I didn't open popovers for basic controls, because they aren't omnipresent parts of the layout.
Here then, in order, from top left to bottom right, are:
- Twitter, Twitterrific
- Tweetbot, Tweetglass
- Twittelator, Osfoora HD
- Echofon Pro, TweetCaster
- Tweetie (discontinued)
Yes, once again, the timeline view is only one aspect of a Twitter app, and can't properly address features and flourishes like gestures, notifications and filters, parallax image embeds, sorting, and other ways some of the clients have innovative and provided extra enjoyment and value. We'll be covering differentiators in a future comparison.
And if you want DVD-style extras, and a peak behind the scenes of your favorite Twitter apps, check out:
- Debug 1: Loren Brichter and Tweetie
- Debug 2: Paul Haddad and Tweetbot
- Iterate 35: Gedeon Maheux, David Lanham and Twitterrific 5
- Debug 5: Craig Hockenberry, Sean Heber, and Twitterrific
Meanwhile, look over the designs above and let me know what you think. Which Twitter apps do you use on your iPad, and are they the same ones that appeal to you most in the comparison above? Any of the timelines attractive enough they encourage you check out an alternative app?
And since this all began with Phil Nickinson's Android Twitter app timelines comparison, how do you think they compare to Twitter apps for Android tablets?

High altitude wetlands such as glacial lakes, marshes, wet grasslands, peatlands and rivers support unique ecosystems and services that sustain the livelihoods of people. They store water from rain and glacial melt, feed aquifers, trap sediments and recycle nutrients, enhancing both the quantity and quality of water.
These wetlands are important staging areas for migratory birds and breeding grounds for birds, fish and amphibians. Their ability to promote vegetation growth lessens soil erosion and buffers water flow, providing a steady flow of water downstream while reducing the severity of disasters such as landslides, floods and droughts.
High altitude wetlands face an array of threats, including the rapid melting of glaciers due to climate change, overgrazing of livestock, water diversions for agricultural and human use, and increased pollution.
There is an urgent need for the conservation of highland wetlands in the Greater Himalayan Region. Increased glacial melting is resulting in the retreat of nearly two-thirds of the Himalaya's 1500 glaciers. With more than two billion people dependent on this glacial melt, the wise use of wetlands is critical for maintaining steady water flows and reducing the risks of floods.
On the Tibetan Plateau, we are working with pastoralists to restore tens of thousands of hectares of marshes in the Ruoergai peatlands. The 10,000 square kilometer plateau consists of marshes with deep peat layers and is the source of all the major rivers in East and South Asia. These wetlands were drying up due to overgrazing. The loss of grass caused erosion, desertification and a decline in the water storage capacity of the soils. This resulted in downstream flooding.
Our work blocking erosion gullies and reducing grazing has contributed to improved regulation of river flows for the Yellow and Yangtze, and a reduced risk of flooding and drought for millions of people downstream.
Wular Lake is one of the largest freshwater lakes in Asia. Located in the Jhelum basin of Kashmir, India, the water storage capacity of this glacier-fed lake was rapidly being lost due to siltation and conversion into agricultural lands. A 20% decrease in storage capacity in the last 30 years led to increased floods and droughts.
We developed a plan to improve management practices that includes upstream restoration, soil conservation and the removal of willow plantations to increase the lake volume. Restoration will lead to better livelihoods for the 100,000 people that live along the lake margins. Millions of people that live downstream in the Kashmir valley will gain relief from future floods and benefit from enhanced access to water in times of extreme droughts.

text: 03 Feb 2015 10:30 Air Seychelles, the national airline of the Republic of Seychelles, today announced an expansion of its codeshare agreement with Etihad Airways for travel to Mumbai, the gateway to India. Air Seychelles, the national airline of the Republic of Seychelles, today announced an expansion of its codeshare agreement with Etihad Airways for travel to Mumbai, the gateway to India. Under this agreement, Air Seychelles will put its HM flight code on 21 weekly Etihad Airways flights between Mumbai and Abu Dhabi that connect onto its services between Abu Dhabi and Seychelles. These codeshare flights will complement Air Seychelles' existing direct flights between Mumbai and Seychelles, which were launched in December 2014. Manoj Papa, Air Seychelles' Chief Executive Officer, said: "We are excited to enhance our connectivity to Mumbai through this expanded codeshare, which builds on our three-per-week direct service to this metropolitan city. "Put together, these flights offer travellers more choice, flexibility and convenience, including daily connections to our archipelago and the option of combining a direct flight to Seychelles with a stopover in Abu Dhabi on the return journey, or vice-versa. "Our travelling proposition, which already offers the fastest air links from India to Seychelles, Tanzania and Madagascar, has now become even more appealing with this development. "We will continue to work closely with Etihad Airways in order to strengthen our network and look forward to driving more tourism traffic from the Indian Subcontinent to and through Seychelles." The new codeshare flights are available for sale from 1 February and can be purchased through the Air Seychelles website on www.airseychelles.com, any Air Seychelles sales office or through travel agents.

The mountain is holding out
for news from the sea
of the raid on the redoubt.
The plain won't level with me
for news from the sea
is harder and harder to find.
The plain won't level with me
now it's non-aligned
and harder and harder to find.
The forest won't fill me in
now it, too, is non-aligned
and its patience wearing thin.
The forest won't fill me in
nor the lake confess
to its patience wearing thin.
I'd no more try to guess
why the lake might confess
to a regard for its own sheen,
no more try to guess
why the river won't come clean
on its regard for its own sheen
than why you and I've faced off across a ditch.
For the river not coming clean
is only one of the issues on which
you and I've faced off across a ditch
and the raid on the redoubt
only one of the issues on which
the mountain is holding out.

Poetry, in its crisp, rhyming sonnet form, which I delude myself will cause the birds to sing and the tears to flow.

Knock on wood, please, because I may jinx myself by declaring publicly that my tomatoes look awesome. It is the healthiest set of plants and fruit that I can ever remember, honestly.
The plants are remarkably free of any pest problem, brown or yellowing leaf or rotting fruit. Most are heirloom varieties; they were fertilized once at planting with fish emulsion and immediately mulched with newspaper and pine straw.
One irrigation occurred during a hot, dry spell but that is it…could the simple approach be the winning formula? Probably not but, but in combination with other good cultural practices maybe this year will be a bumper crop if the hot weather doesn't ruin it!
We cannot control the weather, but we can control what our plants eat, so to speak. At planting time the soil was well-prepared with composted horse manure and a little organic fertilizer; and the plants were mulched in order to moderate soil moisture and preventing soil from splashing on the foliage which can spread soil-borne diseases from last year the first day out for this year's crop.
This year drainage in the garden is crucial because of some significant rain events and pop-up storms. Tomatoes rather like being a bit on the dry side, so sitting in waterlogged soil can cause a problem.
Rapid fluctuations in soil moisture is the primary cause of the most common tomato condition known as blossom end rot (as well as being a contributor to blossom drop, leaf curl, and splitting fruit). When plants fluctuate between too wet and too dry, a calcium deficiency develops in the plant, which then causes the blossom end of the fruit to rot.
It's quite disappointing when you grasp that first ripe tomato and discover it's half rotten. You can avoid the onset of a calcium deficiency with good cultural practices. But if you do have a bout of it, there are products that you can spray on your plants formulated to restore the calcium level.
High heat can cause some problems for our tomatoes, as well. Daytime temperatures in the 90s typically cause plants to stop blooming. When temperatures drop back into the 80s, they will rebound.
But there are other problems to address:
§ Too much nitrogen can jeopardize bloom. Nitrogen encourages leafy growth at the expense of bloom. Use a fertilizer lower in nitrogen and higher in potassium and phosphorus during bloom time to encourage good blossom set. Fish emulsion is my choice because it delivers small amounts of macro and micronutrients.
Pick your tomatoes when they are uniform in color and still firm. Don't store them in the refrigerator or place them in a sunny window. This does not further ripening and just makes them mealy.
Instead store tomatoes in a basket in a cool corner of the kitchen. To expedite ripening, you can put them in a brown bag along with and apple.
Oh, yes, and I did pick a ripe Cherry tomato on June 24.

Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India (HMSI) expanded its CB Shine range with the launch of 125cc bike CB Shine SP, priced up to Rs 64,400 (ex-showroom Delhi), its fifteenth product introduction of the year.
"While India is the world's fastest growing economy, it is also home to one of world's youngest populations. These youngsters recognise their special place in society. The new CB Shine SP helps them reflect the same special status and puts them a gear ahead of their peers," HMSI President and CEO, Keita Muramatsu, said in a statement.
CB Shine SP is an extension of the "new era of motorcycling" the company had ushered in at the Honda RevFest 2015, he added.
Powered by a 125cc 4-stroke engine, CB Shine SP comes with a five-speed gearbox which provides the combination of acceleration and comfort.
It also features one of the longest wheelbase in the segment and a higher ground clearance for practical and comfortable usage on all types of Indian roads.
CB Shine SP is priced at Rs. 59,900 for self-drum-alloy, Rs. 62,400 for self-disc-alloy and Rs. 64,400 for combi-brake system variant (ex-showroom Delhi).
"With over 43 lakh happy customers, the legacy of Shine is undisputed. Though CB Shine enjoys 46 per cent market share, our plan is to further strengthen Honda's leadership position in 125cc segment," Y.S. Guleria, Senior VP, Sales & marketing, HMSI said.

Five Out-of-the-Box Uses Of Email in AppsSendGrid Team
I get really excited about email. Not because I work at an email infrastructure company, but because email is a universal interface. Everyone with a computer knows how to use it. Meaning both my eighty year old grandmother and my ten year old cousin can communicate with me using the same protocol. I can choose to receive email on my terms, send read receipts only if I want, and respond how I desire. It provides more functionality than Facebook messages, and has been around for five times as long. It's amazing!
I'm always excited to see use cases for email that stretch how we think about the service and decided to compile a list of some of the most interesting uses.
Periodic Emails
Remember how I said email was a universal interface? It can easily allow for apps to interact with people without breaking their workflow. Many apps send periodic emails for this reason: giving or getting information from people without the user needing to do anything different (say navigate to a webpage or open an app).
- Sunrise – SendGrid user Sunrise sends daily emails to its users to tell them what's going on in their day. Users get their schedule all while reading their morning email, informing them without forcing them to do something different.
- idonethis – idonethis, another SendGrid customer, emails users to ask what they achieved today. Users can respond with their accomplishments and it's logged by the app. Again, users don't need to do anything differently, just continue to answer their email, but still get use out of the app.
Complex User Interactions
Emails can contain HTML, something most people take advantage of, however, this can be brought to the extreme to allow for highly complex user interactions. Seemingly, without leaving their email client, users can fill out forms, answer surveys, and review products. Keeping people in a familiar interface inspires action, whereas if the user had to click a link, they may just ignore the email.
- Google Drive Forms – Forms created using Google Drive can be sent directly in emails. Recipients can fill them out and submit them, only leaving their inbox to see the confirmation page.
- Amazon.com Product Reviews – Amazon.com always prompts customers to review products after purchase, in the email the company has users get started by giving the product a star rating. Upon providing Amazon with a star rating, the user is placed on the site to write a long form review.
Email Parsing
People are constantly receiving email. With the average office worker recieving an estimated 65 emails a day, there's an immense amount of data in emails. By freeing this data from email, treasure troves of information are available.
- TripIt – TripIt is a fantastic travel app, that keeps all your reservations, itineraries, and plans together in one place. The folks at TripIt realized that users are often emailed information about their plans in confirmation emails and rather than forcing users to manually enter information about the plan (e.g. time and location), users can forward email@example.com any confirmation email they recieve and it's immediately brought into the app.
- The Resumator – The Resumator is an applicant tracking and management system. The most common method of applying for a job is an email. The Resumator allows recruiters and HR managers to forward resumes in to the application and the applicant's information is parsed out and thrown into the app where it is filterable and searchable.
App Interface
I always have the ability to send email, even when the internet is too slow to browse the web, or I don't have my phone to use an app. I always have email. Many apps realize this and allow you to control them using exclusively email.
- Buffer – Buffer allows users to queue posts to their social networks. Although Buffer has fantastic web and mobile apps, it also allows you to post via email. Through a variety of keywords, users can control the networks where a message is posted and and even when to schedule the post.
- Super Calendar – Super Calendar is a personal scheduling assistant, that takes all the hassle out of scheduling appointments and meetings. The app's only interface is the familiar one of email. To schedule apointments, you only need to ask.
Communication Layer
Whether it's messaging, leaving comments, or making posts, users always want to talk amongst themselves. Many apps take advantage of email to add an interface for users to take part in these discussions without removing them from what they're doing.
- Basecamp – Basecamp emails users whenever an action involving them occurs. Users may respond to the email to comment on the action and advance the discussion.
- AirBnB – When renting a place with AirBnB it's common to message with the host to coordinate. AirBnB notifies customers of messages by email (using SendGrid). Users can then take part in the conversation, just by replying to the email.
Today, email goes beyond a simple messaging protocol. It allows people to create richer apps that distract users less. By incorporating email into your app, you can drive users to engage and participate with it, without forcing them to change their habits, and thus increase the likelihood they'll keep using your app.
