The new iPad's great contribution to the iOSsphere is how it's already fueling new rumors about the iPhone 5.
This week, existential angst about The Name, new iPad's revelations about the new iPhone, being unclear on Clearwire, and a formula for creating your own conclusion about The Date for iPhone 5.
You read it here second.
"iPhone 5 May Now Be Able to Operate on Clearwire"
~ Delaon, PlaneteInsane, summarizing how a phone that hasn't been released may run on a network that hasn't been built
iPhone 5 will have LTE/4G because the new iPad has it
"If the new iPad can make use of AT&T and Verizon's growing next-generation cellular networks, it's a fair bet the next iPhone will include that technology as well," writes Phil Hornshaw at Appolicious, summing up the Conventional Wisdom.
If one product has some New Thing, it's clear that a subsequent, completely different product will also have the New Thing. As Hornshaw says, "a transition to 4G for one Apple device pretty well signals that the company is on board with its capabilities, even as carriers continue to work on building their networks."
Because otherwise, it would be rather strange.
"It would seem rather strange that Apple would add 4G LTE technology to the iPad without bringing it to the iPhone as well," Hornshaw writes.
The LTE iPhone 5 "will be a significant step forward for Apple users, and a big boost in cellular data speeds when doing all kinds of mobile tasks and actions," he adds. Those would be mobile tasks and actions like sending a tweet, or updating your Facebook status, or checking the American Idol website. More bandwidth definitely means gaming, and web surfing and a "host of other things will be significantly improved," he gushes.
How have we managed without LTE all these years in the 3G wilderness?
There are a range of issues in bringing LTE to the iPhone, given Apple's emphasis on user experience and battery life. LTE networks in the U.S. are still pretty much in their infancy, with the number of subscribers only a fraction of 3G users. Apple recognized this in the new iPad, which perhaps more importantly than LTE support, also included support for still-faster 3G links, which is what most people will be using for the next several years.
The big question is whether Apple can get LTE/3G silicon that will be small enough and power-efficient enough to make it viable in 2012 for the next iPhone as compared to the just-announced new tablet.
iPhone 5 will not have the new A5X chip because the iPad already has it
This is actually a real news story, by Agam Shaw, of our sister group, IDG News Service. Shaw dug up some speculative analysis by a couple of industry boffins. Their consensus: Apple developed the new A5X CPU specifically for the new iPad, not as a general component that can also be included in the iPhone 5.
The analysts noted that they're still sorting through the not-very-many details known about the new CPU.
"The chips used in the first two iPads, the A4 and A5, both made their way into a new iPhone soon after," Shaw writes. "But the A5X, with its heavy focus on graphics, may not be ideal for smartphone use, and Apple may wait for a more power-efficient chip built with a new manufacturing process."
"I think that this new chip is probably just for the iPad," says Linley Gwennap, founder and principal analyst of The Linley Group. "It looks like they planned ahead for this."
Apple's earlier A4 and A5 chips, and the new A5X are all based on an ARM processor core, typically the Cortex-A9, which is widely used in many other phones. "Many current ARM-based chips are manufactured with a 40-nanometer process, but a shift to 28 nanometers is expected later this year," with the release of silicon based on the faster, more power-efficient Cortext-A15.
For the next iPhone, Apple may focus more on battery life than graphics, Gwennap suggests. "In that case, it may wait for a chip manufactured on a 28-nanometer manufacturing process, which should make the chip more power-efficient and cheaper to produce," he said.
iPhone 5 will run on Clearwire's LTE network...when it gets built
Over at the aptly-URL'ed PlanetInsane.com, a headline declares "iPhone 5 May Now Be Able to Operate on Clearwire."
The really confusing, if not insane, part is the use of the word "now" since neither the iPhone 5 nor Clearwire's wholesale LTE network (of which Sprint will be the main carrier customer) actually exist. Fierce Wireless reported recently that Clearwire says "its first wave of TD-LTE 5,000 cell sites up and running by June 2013."
"According to Eric Prusch, Clearwire's CEO, their strategy to shift to LTE will make it very easy for any iPhone to use their Network and it could prove to be a big benefit for the fruit company," Delaon writes.
Somehow we doubt Prusch actually said that, since the only phones that could use an LTE network are phones equipped with an LTE radio. Right now, that would mean no iPhones. And the idea that the "fruit company" would reap a "big benefit" from a network that won't exist in any meaningful sense for at least a year strikes us as far-fetched.
Delaon notes that Clearwire is building a TD-LTE (for "Time Division" network, a standard which emerged from China and uses a different duplexing scheme than the main standard being deployed in the U.S., FD (for Frequency Division) LTE.
"This [TD-LTE] network is somehow different compared to FD-LTE variant which seems to have been favored by Sprint, Verizon and AT&T networks," Delaon writes, apparently without having a browser handy to Google "what's the difference between FD and TD LTE networks?"
Robert Anderson, writing at Capacity Magazine, drew on a recent Goldman Sachs report to briefly describe those differences, which include TD being more efficient in its use of spectrum, and able to dynamically adjust capacity, but FD covering wider distances, and not having to make use of guard intervals to keep uplinks and downlinks separate.
Eventually, the difference will be resolved by chip manufacturers: already Qualcomm and ST-Ericsson have announced plans to introduce chips that will work on either network. But even if iPhone 5 does have an LTE chip it's not clear it will run on Clearwire's network. Apple is selling separate FD-LTE versions of the new iPad, one for AT&T and one for Verizon. Where Clearwire fits into Apple's LTE plans, or schedule, isn't clear.
Everybody-and-his-brother's LTE network is seen as supporting the next iPhone. Adam Mills at GottaBeMobile reports that regional carrier C-Spire, which currently has the iPhone 4S, announced that it will start rolling out its LTE network in some parts of Mississippi in September.
"It didn't, however, announce any sort of devices that would accompany the carrier entry into the world of 4G LTE," Mills noted, significantly. "However, we can think of at least one. Apple's next iPhone which is presumed to be 4G LTE in nature."
iPhone 5 will be actually be called "The New iPhone"
"Nicole" at InRumor starts her post, headlined "Will the iPhone 5 be released as 'The New iPhone'?" with a quote from Apple CEO Tim Cook, concluding this week's new iPad announcement: "Across the year, you're going to see a lot more of this kind of innovation."
Apparently, calling the Next iPhone the new iPhone is the height of this kind of innovation, in Nicole's eyes.
Not just some people, but "many people" are confused by Apple's name game with the new iPad, Nicole declares.
"Taking all these into account, do you believe the company will release the iPhone 5 under the name of The New iPhone?" she asks. "Everything is possible, especially when it comes to Apple, a company renowned for its unpredictability."
Surely we knew that before the announcement of the new iPad.
If Nicole is confused, Michael Nace at iPhone5NewsBlog seems to be enduring an existential crisis brought on by the name of the new iPad and its implications for the name of the new iPhone.
"Apple Enthusiasts Confused Over 'New iPad' Name," his headline declares.
Instead of some name with a qualifier like "3" or "HD" we're stuck with this "nondescript" and "minimalist" moniker "New iPad."
Nace and Nicole are among those who truly believe the product name is either "The New iPad" or "New iPad." Yet clearly it's not. Apple's Website product tab simply says "iPad." The text refers variously to "third-generation" and "new" but both terms clearly are, to use Nace's own term, "qualifiers," not the proper name of the product.
Nace is disconcerted. "[I]t is Apple's marketing department that has ginned up its own customers by establishing reasonable naming conventions for its devices — and then wantonly breaking them in disconcerting fashion," he complains. We've always wondered where Apple's wanton naming-convention breakers were lurking.
"With the 'New iPad,'we don't really know what we have here," Nace continues, the angst clearly deepening. "Is this a refresh of the iPad 2, or an overhauled design? According to the preponderance of evidence from the mainstream tech media, the New iPad has not impressed enough to warrant calling it an overhaul. Thus, even though the New iPad is the third-generation iPad, will there be an 'iPad 3' next year?"
Our head is going to explode. Why, oh why is Apple causing us now to wonder if the fourth-generation iPad will actually be called iPad 3?
There are lessons here for the next iPhone. "Many analysts believe that Apple should technically name the 2012 iPhone "iPhone 6," skipping over the long-awaited "iPhone 5″ moniker in order to bring the sixth-generation iPhone's name in line with its iteration," Nace writes, without citing any of these many analysts, and leading to the suspicion that "many analysts" actually means "I."
"And for all we know, [Apple] may call it the "New iPhone," Nace writes, the HTML code almost quivering with indignation.
"One thing is for sure, Apple's new name for New iPad has once again made it impossible to know for sure what brand name they will stamp on their next device, making it increasingly difficult to divine what Cupertino is up to in their R&D department," Nace concludes.
When you put it like that, it's so obvious: If you can't know what they're going to call the darn thing, how can you know what they'll put in it?
The iPhone 5 will be announced at some point
That's the conclusion of an anonymous post at an anonymous blog, headlined "2012 iPhone 5 Release Date - When Exactly?"
"[W]e have managed to gather up a few points that might help you deduce the 2012 iPhone 5 release date on your own," writes the author, causing us to wonder if the few points help readers deduce when the phone will be announced, why doesn't he deduce it and just tell us?
Instead the post does the faux-analysis that's a hallmark of iOSphere sites like Beatweek. The writer claims there are three variables which are all revealed to the One who can plumb the secretive depths of Apple.
"If the iPad 3 is released in the next few months, it would automatically mean that Apple will have to give a buffer period before the release of the iPhone 5," the writer declares. "It would be incredibly silly for Apple to release the next generation iPhone and the next generation iPad, within just a few months of each other."
And why would it be silly? "It would be silly because Apple would essentially be cannibalizing their own sales," Anonoauthor writes. "In other words, they might get their loyal customer to buy an iPad 3 or an iPhone 5 although it would be very unlikely that the average Apple customer will purchase both high profile products at the same time."
This "reasoning" apparently means that the average Apple customer wants to buy both, but won't if the two purchases are made "within just a few months of each other."
"This logically means that the 2012 iPhone 5 release date will not fall in the summer months of 2012. It would invariably get postponed to the fall months of 2012," the author concludes.
But there's a catch: "The only exception to this scenario is if Apple releases the iPad 3 this month (March) and then released the iPhone 5 after about 3 months from now, in June." In other words, it would be incredibly silly for Apple to release iPhone 5 three months from now in June, unless...that's what actually happens.
Then there's the LTE thing. "Since second generation 4G LTE chips will be production ready only in the second half of 2012, the release of the next iPhone might also be correspondingly delayed."
Finally, there's the iPhone 4S thing. "Though Apple might not give the iPhone 4S a 16 month prime shelf space period, we also think that they would certainly not make it an outdated iPhone by releasing the iPhone 5, within a year of the iPhone 4S' launch."
So, the conclusion is that iPhone 5 will certainly be announced anytime from June through December 2012.

NASA is conducting experiments to "better understand the process responsible for the high-altitude jet stream located 60 to 65 miles above the surface of the Earth." Sounds boring? Watch the video and enjoy the (brief) show.
This morning, NASA's ATREX— Anomalous Transport Rocket Experiment—program launched five suborbital rockets from the space agency's Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia. The rockets fired 80 seconds apart, releasing a chemical tracer on the edge of space, 65 miles up in the sky. The chemicals created clouds that were seen from many miles away.
The clouds would give scientists data to "create better models of the electromagnetic regions of space that can damage man-made satellites and disrupt communications systems." [ATREX via NASA]

This Surprising Trait May Mean You're an Ideal Spouse
Honesty, trust, compromise – think those are essential qualities to find in that special someone? Puh-leeze!
A new survey has helped come up with the best names for a good spouse.
Yes, the fine people British-based Siteopia.com (what? You DON'T have it bookmarked?!) asked 2,000 people what names they identified with being good husbands and wives.
Katie took top spot among the ladies, which is an interesting. Katie Holmes may or may not have been a good wife to Tom Cruise, but, regardless, their marriage ended in divorce. And Katy Perry – although spelled K-A-T-Y – had a short union with Russell Brand. Hmm, maybe she'll prove the name's worth if she ties the knot with John Mayer.
Interestingly, John took fifth among men, while David topped the list on the dude's side and Andrew took second. Y'know, like Andrew Weiner, whose antics do not exactly make him husband of the year material.
Two names that didn't make the cut on either side? Kim and Kanye. Let's hope those crazy kids can defy the odds.

Rox hit three HRs, but fall in 10th on Opening Day
MILWAUKEE -- Walt Weiss' first Opening Day as the Rockies' manager included plenty of happy fireworks -- home runs by Troy Tulowitzki, Carlos Gonzalez and Dexter Fowler -- the last coming in the ninth to tie the game.
But Monday ended sourly for Colorado. Jonathan Lucroy's bases-loaded sacrifice fly in the 10th gave the Brewers a 5-4 victory in front 45,781, the fifth-largest crowd in Miller Park history.
While losing a club-record 98 games last year under Jim Tracy, the Rockies experimented with an odd pitching system. Although Monday was marred by some costly mistakes on the mound by relievers Wilton Lopez and Adam Ottavino (0-1) -- and one on the bases by Chris Nelson -- the Rockies left feeling they played a style that can yield better results.
Tulowitzki's two-run shot in the third inning and Gonzalez's leadoff homer in the fifth came against Brewers ace right-hander Yovani Gallardo. With two outs in the ninth, Fowler launched a first-pitch 95-mph fastball from Brewers closer John Axford into the right-field stands.
After dealing with so much injury and ineffectiveness last year from the starting pitching staff that they experimented with a four-man rotation with a limited pitch count, the Rockies could delight in Monday's strong 6 2/3 innings from right-hander Jhoulys Chacin, who finished with one run on three hits and six strikeouts.
"I felt good about the way the guys played," Weiss said. "Even the guys we had in there late in the game on the mound, I feel good about those guys."
The Rockies took a 3-1 lead into the eighth. However, Lopez, acquired from the Astros during the offseason, gave up three runs on four hits. Two of them didn't leave the infield. One of those was Ryan Braun's RBI bouncer to Tulowitzki, who held the ball when he saw Braun break swiftly out of the box. He didn't have a good handle on it, anyhow.
Ramirez, noticing Lopez's determination to beat him with his slider, pulled a 2-2 pitch into the left-field corner for a double that gave the Brewers a 4-3 lead.
"[Lopez] has been one of the best in the National League in that spot, late in the game, but Ramirez threw out a clutch at-bat," Weiss said.
Fowler erased the Brewers' led with his third hit, a homer that came after Axford had fanned Nelson and Eric Young Jr.
"You know he's going to go right after you," Fowler said. "I'm just happy I gave our team another chance to win the game."
Ottavino hit Rickie Weeks in the foot with an 0-1 fastball with one out in the 10th. Weeks stole second when second baseman Josh Rutledge could not handle catcher Wilin Rosario's one-hop throw, which was on time. The Rockies walked Braun intentionally, and Ramirez drew a walk to set up Lucroy, who lifted a sinker to center field to win the game.
"I still feel plenty confident," Ottavino said. "It just stinks to lose the first game, especially when you're on the mound to do it."
Chacin signed a two-year, $6.5 million contract during the offseason, then scared Rockies fans by posting an 8.44 ERA in Spring Training. Monday wasn't perfect. Chacin walked leadoff hitters in the first and second, and gave up a Norichika Aoki homer in the third.
But Chacin outpitched Gallardo and gave the Rockies the type of pitching they hope will not be rare this season. Last season, Colorado starters finished with a Major League-high 5.81 ERA.
But on Monday, Chacin, who battled injury early last year but pitched well the final two months after his return, attacked Milwaukee's righty-dominated lineup inside with his fastball, and used his slider on the outer part of the plate.
"I walked the leadoff guy my first two innings, but after that I was trying to throw down, get it done quick," Chacin said.
The Brewers left impressed.
"I'm not sure how many guys it was, but it had to be close to 90 percent of the hitters he faced today, he was 0-1 on them or threw them a strike," Lucroy said.
The offense managed 10 hits against Gallardo.
"We were facing their No. 1 pitcher and we connected pretty well against him," Gonzalez said. "We battled the whole game. That happens sometimes."
The offense was statistically effective last year even though Tulowitzki missed all but 47 games due to a left groin injury that required surgery. Gonzalez had just nine of his 22 homers after Tulowitzki was injured, and just five after the All-Star break as pitchers refused to challenge him. Now the Rockies have Gonzalez in the No. 3 spot and Tulowitzki hitting cleanup, a combination that produced Monday.
"It's nice to be playing, just to take the field and get after it with them," Tulowitzki said. "We can sit here all day and talk about how much he means to me and vice versa. But it was cool to be out there."
Big innings of multiple hits and crisp execution, not power displays, will have to be common on the road. The Rockies nearly had such a frame in the fourth on Monday, but Nelson's mistake wiped that away.
Fowler singled to right with Rosario at second and Nelson at first. Rosario charged around third and seemed committed to trying to score when third-base coach Stu Cole gave the stop sign. But Nelson kept running, and found himself trapped between second and third.
"I should have had my head on a swivel, it's my fault," Nelson said. "We always want to go first to third and second to home on a base hit, but I was overaggressive."


text: firstname.lastname@example.com Gentoo ML Project Ocamldap is an implementation of the Light Weight Directory Access Protocol, and a set of useful tools built around it. It includes high level libraries for creating ldap clients and ldap servers. It also includes many of the auxiliary tools needed for building intelligent solutions, and interoperating with other directories. These include, an rfc2252 schema parser, and an schema checker, an ldif parser and printer, a search filter parser (but no printer yet), and a rudimentary ldap url parser. While including things already done elsewhere is fun, ocamldap adds something as well. So it implements a concept which tries to provide a basic unit of abstraction for managing directory data, called a service. A service is a bit like a stored search filter that you give a name. So you can ask ocamldap if an object satisfies its conditions, but unlike a search filter you can also ask ocamldap to MAKE an object satisfy its conditions. This can be really useful in distributed managment applications. Needless to say, more on this in the Documentation section. deplai_j/ocamldap

Barbara Beckley, pencil thin and fiercely emphatic, sits in an armchair in the living room-style lobby of the Colony Theatre in Burbank. Sounds from the stage indicate that rehearsals are underway for the second show of the Colony's 38th season: the West Coast premiere of John Morogiello's backstage comedy, "Blame It on Beckett."
The Colony's artistic director and longtime leader is looking back, tracing her company's trajectory from an actor-driven, 99-seat venture in Silver Lake to its transformation into a 276-seat, full Equity theater. Founded in 1975 by a group of Los Angeles actors, the Colony Studio Theatre, as it was called then, earned considerable critical acclaim and audience loyalty during its first 25 years in "the land that time forgot," as Beckley puts it.
"We called it Silver Lake because that was cool," she said, "but actually we were in this hole between Silver Lake, Echo Park and Glassell Park. Our nearest competitors were the Dodgers."
Beckley initially managed the theater for founding Artistic Director Terrence Shank while pursuing her own acting career. After the company's successful first year, she recalled, "people said, 'What are you doing next season?' Terrence and I looked at each other and said, 'Oh, guess we better figure that out.'"
The Colony quickly gained a reputation for sterling, award-winning, often original work — it was and is the recipient of numerous L.A. Weekly, Los Angeles Drama Critics' Circle and Ovation Awards. The audience grew. Regulars began trekking in from as far away as Orange County.
"They still do," said Beckley.
When Shank moved on in 1984 for a theater career in Florida and South Africa, the leadership position "kind of landed in my lap," Beckley said. In 1987, she spearheaded a canny marketing effort that would set the stage for the theater's evolution.
"That was the year that we discovered telemarketing. We decided to throw everything we had into a campaign to build our subscription base. It was a leap of faith."
That strategic move coincided with a through-the-roof smash hit for the company: Jean Anouilh's "Ring Around the Moon," headlined by Parker Stevenson.
"We grew because we were able to build an absolute killer subscriber base," said Beckley. "We captured the name and phone number of every ticket buyer that walked through our doors. We followed up with phone calls within 48 hours and we sold subscriptions at intermission and after the show."
Beckley's curtain pitches remain a Colony tradition.
"In that one campaign," she said, "we went from 835 subscribers to 1,845."
Over five years, the Colony's subscriber base grew to more than 3,000. "Our shows were virtually sold out before we even opened them," Beckley observed.
The Colony was operating under an Actors' Equity Association plan allowing professional Los Angeles theaters of 99 seats or fewer to pay actors a minimal stipend.
In order to produce work under a full Equity contract and pay actors meaningful wages and benefits, the company would have to become a midsize theater, a risky step that small theaters rarely take. A few that made the leap are A Noise Within, now based in Pasadena; International City Theatre in Long Beach and East West Players in L.A.
Yet with the Colony's large subscriber base, said Beckley, who received the 1999 Ovation Award for Leadership in Los Angeles Theatre, "we had the capacity to do it."
Looking for a city to partner with, the company eventually landed in the vacant satellite facility of the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles, a corner structure of the Burbank Town Center mall.
"We walked into the exhibit hall," Beckley said, "and, oh, my gosh, it was dying to be a theater." With high ceilings, no obstructive columns and an upstairs room "that ended up the exact width and depth of the stage" to use as rehearsal space, "it was perfect."
The Burbank City Council approved the Colony's proposal in 1996. Four years of architectural planning, construction and delays later, the company moved in.
"I cannot say enough about the city of Burbank, how supportive they've been," Beckley said. "They recognize the value of the arts in a way that I don't think they get enough credit for. Everybody thinks Santa Monica is so cool and Pasadena is so cool. Well, Burbank is very cool."
During the first two years in its new digs, the Colony used only a fraction of the new theater's available seating under an Equity agreement temporarily continuing the company's small-theater status.
It opened in 2000 with the inaugural reprise of the Colony's 1981 musical adaptation of Ray Bradbury's, "Dandelion Wine." Shank, the musical's original director, returned to helm the production.
The official launch of the Colony as a full Equity theater came two years later, with the acclaimed Los Angeles premiere of "The Laramie Project," based on interviews with Wyoming citizens after the 1998 murder of Matthew Shepard.
But the company's dream-come-true has had its challenges.
"Our move in 2000 coincided with tectonic shifts in the environment and the culture," Beckley said. "Everything has changed in the last 10 years: 9/11, a series of cosmic natural disasters, the economy tanking and the explosion of entertainment options through new media.
"Our entire business plan was conservatively based on our growth pattern through the 1990s, which had been steady and solid. The difference in costs at the 99-seat level is enormous," she said. "Our annual budget in the last years in Silver Lake was about $350,000. It's now a million."
Ironically, that meant smaller casts and fewer opportunities for Colony members. As a full Equity theater, with a regulated scale of pay and benefits, the Colony couldn't do the kinds of large-cast shows that it had been able to do on a shoestring in Silver Lake.
"We did 'The Laramie Project' with a cast of eight," Beckley said. We did [the Jerry Herman musical] "The Grand Tour" with a cast of 12. We can't do that anymore. We've reworked the way we build our sets. We've cut our runs from five weeks to four to save the cost of that extra week of performance. We laid off some staff. That was very hard."
Of the original 25 founding Colony members, only Beckley and her former husband, actor-director-videographer Michael David Wadler, who serves on the theater's board, remain. "We no longer maintain a resident company, although we have actors we love who often repeat," Beckley said. "When there are only two to four actors on the stage, every one of them has to be exactly right for the role. There just isn't enough to do to keep an entire company occupied."
And yes, she said, that has been very painful.
The Colony has also taken some criticism for productions that don't always match the adventurous spirit that defined the theater in its previous incarnation.
The need to fill a large theater can "sometimes result in rather predictable, bland titles," said Don Shirley, theater critic and an editor for LA Stage Times. In particular, he expressed the hope that Beckley "would look for fresher, more demanding small musicals than the last three the Colony has presented: 'Dames at Sea,' 'The All Night Strut!' and 'Jacques Brel is Alive and Well and Living in Paris.'"
Still, the production level at the Colony "is quite consistently high," said Shirley, who favorably reviewed the theater's current offering, "Blame It on Beckett." He notes that such thought-provoking Colony plays as Charles Smith's "Free Man of Color" and Evan Smith's "The Savannah Disputation" "offer something different even as they appear to appeal to the traditional Colony audience.
"We don't pick a season saying everybody's going to like every single thing that we do, but there's certainly a balance," said director David Rose, who joined the company in 1990. "I think that it starts with the choice of material and an aesthetic that is warm and not assaultive."
Rose will direct his 25th Colony production, the West Coast premiere of Steven Tomlinson's "American Fiesta," opening Sept. 29. Another West Coast premiere, Willy Holtzman's "The Morini Strad," will finish out the year. The Colony's "Season of Premieres" winds up in 2013 with the Los Angeles premiere of Peter Colley's thriller, "I'll Be Back Before Midnight" and the Colony-developed world premiere of "Falling for Make Believe," Mark Saltzman's musical based on the life of Lorenz Hart.
"Number one, I look for a good story," Beckley said. "But above all, I look for plays and musicals that appeal to universal values. I will not preach to the choir or anger those who disagree." Beckley holds up the Colony's acclaimed production of "The Savannah Disputation" as "a perfect example."
It's about "staunch Catholics and a staunch evangelical who are battling it out," she said, "but it could have been any religion, any political view. What it illuminated is that our views don't necessarily separate us.
"I guess we're succeeding," she added, "because a 90% subscriber renewal rate is pretty darn good. It says we are pleasing people."
Yet while the theater is more than 50% subscribed, and that subscriber base is holding steady at about 3,000, it isn't growing, and Beckley acknowledges that bringing in new and younger subscribers is a challenge. The Colony's indomitable standard-bearer, however, remains optimistic.
"There's something so primal about sitting with a group of people in the dark looking at life and being told a story," Beckley said. "It takes us back to the caveman days. It's in our DNA as human beings."

White flag dash. Gas it up dudes, one lap to go. Course was a rolling grass affair, no real jumps or whooped out sections. Perfect for vintage bikes and racers looking to have fun with minimal risk.
Gather around kids. Before modern four stroke motocross bikes existed, we raced on two-strokes. Before that, really old four strokes - like this Triumph - ruled (roosted?) the roost. Quite a few old school four-strokes out for the day, fun to watch and hear.
Sweet! 1974 Suzuki TM125. I owned this model, ridden from 1976 - 1978, while in high school. Flashback machine for me. Great memories.
Rider down, reportedly with a broken arm. There's always some risk to two wheeled tomfoolery. Sometimes you gotta pay to play. Hopefully nothing serious. Heal quick.
Super clean Maico and fast rider. With the number 1, assuming he's the series champion from last season. Rock on.

Pigeons cause structural damage on bridgeTuesday, July 10th, 2012
Bridge pigeons' days are numbered
Article Shared From: The Otago Daily Times / NZ
Written By: Sarah Marquet
Pigeon poo is threatening the Alexandra bridge across the Clutha River, so the birds have to go.
New Zealand Transport Agency (NZTA) senior asset manager John Jarvis said the bridge's structural steel was being corroded and, while it was not an immediate safety risk, action was needed to reduce the 400-strong flock of resident pigeons so damaged areas could be repaired.
The corrosion mostly affected the surface, but there were also some cases of pitting. (more…)

Agile methods have been found to be applicable to a wide array of teams and organizations across the globe. However, with the rising complexity of team and project dynamics, the need for collaboration and scaling across teams and organizations has become prominent.
The Scaled Agile Framework has largely helped in bridging this gap and has facilitated collaboration across teams, complex systems, geographies and in any scenario where Agile alone has failed to create the needful impact.
SAFe®, essentially, is a complete methodology that enables complex organizations to carry out Agile transformation at an enterprise level. This fosters sustainable growth, fastest time-to-market, and a steep rise in team productivity.
Applying Lean/Agile principles and practices across all levels within an organization is the very first step towards an Agile transformation. The SAFe® framework synchronizes the alignment, collaboration, and delivery of multiple agile teams leading the way to enterprise success.
The Rising Demand for Leading SAFe® Certificate
The Leading SAFe® certificate has become the benchmark for Lean-Agile enterprises. It widens your scope in the industry both in terms of value and career opportunities. According to Forrester's Q2 2015 Global Agile Software Application Development Online Survey-
"The Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe®) is the most widely adopted enterprise Agile approach according to most survey data, with 33% using it".
With more than 70% of US Fortune 100 companies actively employing SAFe®, it is clear that the demand for Leading SAFe®is on a constant rise.

Castle Review: Shhh! Someone KnowsCourtney Morrison at .
Well... that was fun! In typical Castle fashion, "Secret's Safe With Me" provided us viewers with a light-hearted and enjoyable hour. Let's talk about it...
Eye I See You! The weekly case followed the death of a brother and sister pair who had been trying to purchase a storage unit to track down information on the murderer of their parents. Twists and turns led us to Storage War type bidders, as well as rich socialites and criminals.
Never did I think that a prosthetic eye would be the answer to the case. Kind of gross, kind of fun. Basically, Castle perfection. Besides, how could you not love the auction scene?
All Children Grow Up. Alexis finally made the big move to her first dorm room. First, can we acknowledge the fact that her dorm was nicer than most college apartments? Seriously, why did I not have a dorm that looked like that? Secondly, who else teared up at the goodbye scene between the father/daughter duo? I know I wasn't alone.
Castle has always been a great father to Alexis. Even in his funny and immature moments, he has always been there for his daughter. Although we are not treated to too many important scenes between the pair, they have always been enjoyable. Maybe now that Alexis is not living at home, these moments between will carry more of an impact.
"I Saw The Poor Girl Hiding." It looks like the cat is out of the bag! With a few people at least. Martha told Castle she knows about him and Beckett and that it is time to tell Alexis. How cute was it that Beckett cared what Alexis thought? These two are becoming so mature!
Who will be next? My guess is on Lanie. It will give the two girls some time to have a friendly moment. What do you think? Javi or Ryan? How will Gates take it?
Speaking of Gates, how excited was she for that creepy doll? Who knew that the tough woman would be such a softy for a porcelain doll?
The World's Best Handshake. Caskett continued to rock every scene they share together now as a couple. The two have such a natural chemistry that has always radiated across the screen. But now that they are in a relationship, it feels even hotter. You have to love the exchanges and tension between them while they are in public. To keep the arc interesting, the other detectives need to find out. I can only imagine the ridicule that Javi and Kevin will give Castle. It is going to make for some hilarious scenes.
Seriously though, Nathan Fillion and Stana Katic rocked in "Secret's Safe WIth Me." Keep it up, guys, it's the best part about Monday nights.
What did you think, TV Fanatics? Did you enjoy the episode or did it fall flat after last week's "Cloudy With A Chance of Murder." Hit the comments and let us know. Don't forget to check out the Castle quotes page and the official TV Fanatic Castle Round Table later in the week.
Until next week, Castle fans.

Annabelle Minerals Water Ice eyeshadow is a delicate, pastel shade of blue, designed for women with a winter type of beauty.
Easy to apply, distributes smoothly on the eyelids. Does not scatter, does not crumble and does not smudge. High pigmentation ensures a long lasting effect. Gives a satin finish.
Can be applied dry or wet to achieve a more vibrant color. Perfect makeup for daytime as well as an evening out.
Natural ingredients such as mica and silk do not irritate the sensitive skin around the eyes. Our eyeshadows like all Annabelle Minerals cosmetics are natural products without preservatives suitable for all skin types.
Package contains 3 grams of the product. Convenient sealable container with a sifter prevents spilling of the shadow.
Ingredients: Mica, Titanium Dioxide, Kaolin, Silk, CI 77510
Annabelle Minerals eyeshadows are best applied with a brush, choosing a suitable shape for the effect you want to achieve.
In the accessories tab you will find the best brushes, with which you will be able to blend colors, smudge eyeshadows on the eyelid as well as draw precise lines.
Eye makeup is the most gratifying form of makeup, providing a perfect setting for your creativity. Depending on the occasion, time of day, type of beauty or mood eye makeup can be different and only you and your creativity decide what tone to set for your creation. There are however a few basic rules worth following in order to enjoy a long lasting and beautiful look.
Before eye makeup apply a thin layer of foundation on your eyelids – thanks to this your makeup will last longer, will not cake, will not rub off.
1. Pour a small amount of the eyeshadow on the lid of the cosmetic jar;
2. Next, pick up the shadow with a brush by pressing it gently against the surface of the cosmetic;
3. Tap off any excess eyeshadow against the edge of the jar, not to scatter the eyeshadow around your eyes;
4. Apply the eyeshadow on your eyelid, starting from the outer corner of the eye;
5. Should the resulting effect be too subtle for you, repeat the above actions, while adjusting the intensity of the color.

First Lady: New Initiatives Boost Military Caregiver Support
By Terri Moon Cronk
American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, April 11, 2014 - First Lady Michelle Obama and Dr. Jill Biden today announced several new initiatives designed to strengthen support for military caregivers.
On the third anniversary of the Joining Forces launch, Obama and Biden, wife of Vice President Joe Biden, were joined by former first lady Rosalynn Carter, former U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Dole, military caregivers, and business, labor and military leaders at the White House-hosted event.
"I'm thrilled to announce that the Department of Defense is going to recreate that success story for all of our military caregivers," Obama said. "[DOD is] committing to form in-person peer forums at every military installation that serves wounded warriors and their caregivers around the world."
DOD will also create online tools and webinars for caregivers who aren't able to attend an in-person forum, so they, too, can connect with their peers, she said.
Additionally, the Tragedy Assistance Program for Survivors, the Elizabeth Dole Foundation and many other organizations are committing to training 10,000 caregiving peer mentors, Obama said.
"[It's] a commitment that will reach 50,000 caregivers nationwide," she added, "and together, these commitments mean tens of thousands of our brave caregivers will have the added support they need ?- the support of a friend and mentor who understands what they're going through."
Obama said those initiative are just the tip of the iceberg.
"Everything we're talking about today ?- from the peer forums to all the new resources that Sen. Dole mentioned, is a supplement to the tremendous caregiver support offered by the military and by the [Department of Veterans Affairs]," she said.
Obama called military and veteran caregivers some of the nation's unsung heroes.
"You have incredible strength," she told caregivers in the audience. "You have sacrificed so much, and so much of what you do go unnoticed. To have [Biden, Carter and Dole] on stage here is just a reflection of our respect and admiration for your sacrifice."
Obama noted the first meeting ever conducted for caregiver support last September at Fort Belvoir's Intrepid Spirit One, a facility she described as designed to "help wounded warriors and families deal with the unseen wounds of war," such as post-traumatic stress and traumatic brain injuries.
"[The caregivers] were dealing with daily challenges that would knock most people to their knees -? everything from helping their spouses bathe to adjusting their new prosthetics to battling depression, anxiety, recurring panic attacks," she said of the initial networking session.
Following the well-received response for caregivers, the Defense Department has made a commitment to establish such groups around the globe, Obama said.
"To our caregivers, the men and women in this room, I want to thank you ... for showing us what bravery, courage and sacrifice really mean," Obama said. "And I want you all to know that we are not going to quit until we serve you as well as you've served us."

The company made everything from decorative urns to dinnerware, and is famous for its 20th-century Argenta collection. Another company, Biloxi Art Pottery, a one-man pottery owned by now famous potter George Ohr, used an impressed mark before using Ohr's hand-signed script signature. Usually a hand-signed mark was used before a printed logo was designed.

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), held in Toronto, Canada, is widely considered to be one of the top film festivals in the world. It is the premiere film festival in North America from which the Oscars race begins. It is the world's largest film festival open to the general public.

The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) announced last week that it will assemble tax officials from its various member nations to discuss ways that governments can learn and improve policies in the wake of the Panama Papers scandal.
The OECD nations will attempt to find ways to share information and analyze the data flowing from the Panama Papers investigation to tighten up their own tax laws and to prevent the type of sheltering that is alleged to have occurred in Panama.
The initiative has been spearheaded by the Australian Tax Office (ATO), and its Commissioner, Chris Jordan. Jordan has asked the OECD's Joint International Tax Shelter Information and Collaboration (JITSIC) network to assemble for high-level talks following the revelations of the Panama Papers. The JITSIC will bring together the senior tax officials of some 46 countries in Paris on Wednesday.
When announcing the date for the meeting, the OECD's spokesman said, "Government officials from around the world have called upon OECD to convene a special meeting of the Joint International Tax Shelter Information and Collaboration (JITSIC) network to explore possibilities of cooperation and information-sharing, identify tax compliance risks and agree on collaborative action in the light of the 'Panama Papers.'"
According to an ATO spokesman, speaking with Reuters earlier this week, "The meeting will consider how member jurisdictions can share information on leaked documents, and collaborate on analyzing the data and opportunities for joint action…A key outcome of Wednesday's meeting will be to develop a joint and coordinated response, including a commitment to collaborate and share data, analytical methodologies and future joint compliance action."
The Panama Papers scandal has brought to light the problems of international tax havens and governments whose tax policies lack adequate transparency. Governments around the globe have been forced to probe possible financial improprieties by corporations, private citizens, and heads of state in the aftermath of the leaked data.
The Panama Papers included the details of hundreds of thousands of clients of the Panama law firm Mossack Fonseca. The firm appears to have been involved in assisting its clients avoid taxes by a variety of methods that might violate the laws of the clients' various home nations, thanks to Panama's lax tax laws.
The ATO spokesman went on to say, "The meeting of JITSIC leaders to discuss the Panama papers is unprecedented and a great opportunity to demonstrate global will and capability to take on this multilateral challenge when it matters most."

Luxuriously broad noodles known as pappardelle become all tangled up in this hearty bolognese sauce made with pork, lamb, and veal.
At my second full-fledged chef's position at the Galleria Italiana in Boston, the owners were two women from Abruzzi. While I was familiar with the classic version of Ragu alla Bolognese—chopped beef, carrots, celery, onions, and tomatoes—I noticed that Rita and Marisa added chicken livers to their version. When I started making my own Bolognese sauce for pappardelle, I used a combination of veal, pork, and lamb instead of beef for an even more complex flavor. I also kept Rita and Marisa's chicken livers in the recipe and added some sweet Italian sausage because my grandmother used it in her Sunday ragu to deepen and enrich the sauce's flavor.–Ron and Colleen Suhanosky
LC Title Envy Note
We know how important titles are to most folks. So we wanted to explain what the title of the book from which this recipe hails, Pasta Sfoglia, means. See, sfoglia is the Italian word for leaf or sheet. In this context, it refers to an uncut sheet of pasta. (The plural is sfoglie.) Quiz on Tuesday. And please note that while fresh pappardelle cut moments ago from large sheets of pasta is best fresh, the Bolognese sauce, on the other hand, is arguably at its best when it is made in advance and the flavors allowed to meld overnight. Thank heavens for small mercies.
Pappardelle alla Bolognese
- Quick Glance
- Makes 2 batches, serving 4 to 6
IngredientsEmail Grocery List
- For the Bolognese
- 2 tablespoons grapeseed or other mild vegetable oil
- 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
- 1/2 pound chicken livers, puréed in a food processor until smooth
- 1 pound sweet Italian sausages, casings removed
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1 pound ground lamb
- 1 pound ground veal
- 1/2 cup full-bodied red wine
- One 28-ounce can peeled whole San Marzano tomatoes
- 3 cups cold water, swirled in the emptied out tomato can
- For the pappardelle
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 3 eggs
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- Rice flour, for dusting
- For finishing the pasta dish
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 cup pasta cooking water
- Grated Parmesan cheese, optional garnish
- Make the Bolognese
- 1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2. Heat the grapeseed oil in a large heavy-bottomed, ovenproof casserole over medium-high heat for 1 minute. Add the garlic and chicken livers and cook, stirring occasionally, until the pink disappears from the livers. Add the sausages and break them up with a wooden spoon. Cook until the pink disappears from the sausage. Add the rosemary, pork, lamb, and veal and stir continuously to combine. Cook until the pink completely disappears from all the meats, about 10 to 12 minutes. Add the red wine and reduce for 5 minutes. Add the tomatoes and water. Bring to a boil.
- 3. Place the casserole in the oven and cook, uncovered, for 3 hours. Stir from time to time. It's important to fold the top of the mixture into the bottom to ensure the marriage of flavors. Let cool. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.
- Make the pappardelle
- 4. Add the all-purpose flour, eggs, extra-virgin olive oil, and salt to the bowl of a food processor fitted with a metal blade. Pulse several times until the dough resembles medium crumbs.
- 5. Turn the dough onto a clean, dry, rice flour–dusted work surface. Gather the dough together and knead it until it comes together and is smooth and elastic. Cover the pasta dough with a kitchen towel or plastic film and let rest for at least 10 minutes or up to 2 hours. (The dough, tightly wrapped with plastic film, can be refrigerated for up to 2 days or frozen for up to 2 weeks. Defrost in the refrigerator. The dough will discolor slightly, but its flavor will not be affected).
Roll and cut the pasta for pappardelle with an electric pasta maker:
Divide the pasta dough into 3 equal pieces. Flatten each piece into a disk and dust with rice flour.
Set the roller of the electric pasta maker at number 1. Feed the disks, one at a time, through the roller three times. Fold each end of the dough to meet in the middle and press down on the middle to seal. Feed the open side of the dough through the roller three times. Fold the ends to meet in the middle and press down to seal.
Adjust the setting to number 2. Feed the open side of the dough through the roller twice.
Adjust the setting to number 3. Feed the dough through the roller twice. The pasta sheet will be quite long now. Cut it in half and feed each half through the roller once more. Dust each sheet with rice flour and layer one on top of the other.
I like to hand-cut both pappardelle and fettuccine. For either cut, layer 3 pasta sheets at a time, placing the longest piece on the bottom. Roll up into a loose roll. For pappardelle, cut each roll into 1-inch-wide pieces. For fettuccine, cut each roll into 1/4-inch-wide pieces. Loosen the rolls and stretch out the ribbons on a baking sheet. Dust with more rice flour. If you aren't going to use the pasta right away, cover it with a slightly dampened kitchen towel to keep it from drying out. Do not refrigerate— the ribbons will stick together.
Roll and cut the pasta for pappardelle with a hand crank pasta maker:
Proceed as directed for the electric pasta maker, with a few subtle changes. At setting number 1, fold the dough and feed it through the roller three times. On number 2, feed the dough through three times, and on number 3, three times. On number 4, cut the pasta sheets in half and feed each piece through the roller three times. On number 5, feed each sheet through once. Then cut into pappardelle, tagliatelle, or fettuccine as described for the electric pasta maker.
- Finish the dish
- 6. Remove the Bolognese sauce from the refrigerator.
- 7. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Remove the rosemary from the Bolognese sauce. Add 4 cups of the sauce to a 10-inch skillet over medium heat. Add the cream, salt, and pepper and bring to a simmer. (The remaining quart of sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months. To freeze in smaller portions, place the sauce in 1/2-pint or pint containers. When serving, adjust the cream and other seasonings accordingly.)
- 8. Add the pappardelle to the boiling water. Cook until the strands float to the top, then glance at the clock and cook for 2 more minutes. Remove 1/2 cup pasta water from the pot and add it to the sauce. (Adding the pasta water to the sauce ensures a good marriage between pasta and sauce. When the cooked pasta is added to the sauce, it will absorb the extra pasta water, not the sauce, leaving the sauce to coat the pasta.) Use a wire-mesh skimmer or tongs to remove the pasta from the pot and dump it directly into the skillet with the sauce. Stir or toss to evenly coat the pappardelle with the sauce. Serve immediately with a garnish of Parmesan cheese, if desired.
