If you were annoyed by the lag, delays, and buffering on your Facebook Android app, blame HTML5 – just like iPhone users did. Facebook listened and scrapped its HTML5 iOS app for version 5.0, rebuilt from scratch in Objective-C. Android owners are finally getting the same treatment. Facebook today announced Android 2.0.
Back in August, it was reported that Facebook employees would be using Android phones, with the assumed goal being the team would be improving it – and it looks like that was the case. The latest update to Facebook's Android app focuses on just speed, so there are no new bonus features added to the app if that's what you were expecting. Instead you'll find updates that are borrowed from the iOS app. For instance, like on Facebook's iOS app, viewing photos on the Android app will be a completely new experience. If you tap on a photo it opens up instantly and you never leave the News Feed to view it. To close the photo, you just need to slide your finger in an upward motion. The second newsworthy addition is a "story banner" that notifies you of the new posts published by brands or friends that surface on the top of your News Feed.
Timeline and the News Feed notifications will be "twice as fast," according to Facebook. The changes will be most noticeable, however, when you're looking through your photos or opening up the Timeline. The delays should be dramatically reduced and it should no longer be a chore to use the app.
Facebook went deep into the guts of its new build on Android. Facebook software engineer Frank Du explained how the engineers approached speeding up Facebook's performance on Android in the developer blog. He writes, "To support the unique complexity of Facebook stories across devices, we're moving from a hybrid native/webview to pure native code, allowing us to optimize the Facebook experience for faster loading, new user interfaces, disk cache, and so on."
What Facebook's app used to be was a combination of a Web app and native code. Essentially on Android, its apps were partially the website version of Facebook (built in HTML5) baked into Java code. Any code that's pulling content from the Web would mean inevitably delays. For developers this would have meant saving time from going back into the native code and editing it, and users wouldn't have to constantly update their app to a new version whenever even minor changes were made.
Despite the benefits, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg admitted in September of this year that he sacrificed performance for convenience, which was an egregious mistake. There are still a few HTML5 elements remaining, although far fewer than before, but the app will perform much faster although you're going to be seeing updates more frequently.
You can get the updated Android App from the Google Play Store later today.

Homesickness: A holiday primer
By Joe Queenan, for CNN • Published 23rd December 2013
When I was a young boy growing up on the mean streets of Philadelphia, I was convinced that it was the most ghastly place a person could possibly live.
It was bellicosely proletarian, it was dull, it was hard to get around in, and all our professional sports teams were horrible.
It had little glitz; it was short on panache; it was sadly lacking in brio.
On a less abstract note, it had no skyline, and even then I realized that to be a real city, you had to have a skyline. (Sorry, Raleigh-Durham; better luck next time, Edmonton.)
As for entertainment, years before I had any idea what the term "nightlife" actually meant, I knew that the City of Brotherly Love didn't have any.
Determined to lead a flamboyant life elsewhere, I spent most of my youth devising ingenious stratagems -- circus boy, carnie, French Foreign Legion early admission intern, traveling saleschild -- that would enable me to escape from the city of my birth.
None of them worked.

Finally, at the age of 13, I entered the Maryknoll Junior Seminary and began studying to be a Roman Catholic priest.
At long last I would be leaving provincial, conservative Philadelphia forever, outward bound for such exotic ports of call as Nairobi, Manila and Peking. At long last, I was finally going places.
First stop, Scranton, Pa.
No matter how bad things are back home, they can still get a whole lot worse out on the road.
Brent Stirton/Getty Images
To be jesuitically accurate, the Maryknoll Junior Seminary was not located in Scranton, a complete dump whose heyday lay buried in the rubble of the Speakeasy Era, but in Clark's Summit, a tiny suburb of Scranton.
No sooner had I arrived in this moribund, coal-country backwater than I began yearning for all the things I had left behind in my newly beloved Delaware Valley. Cheesesteaks. Soft pretzels. Billy Penn's hat. The Liberty Bell. Professional baseball. Professional football. Professional anything. Most of all, working sidewalks.
For the next 10 months I lived a life of pure hell, despising my present, regretting my past.
In this period, I learned two valuable lessons:
1. Be careful what you wish for, especially in rural Pennsylvania.
2. Given that one never misses one's water till one's well runs dry, one must take steps to ensure that one's well does not run dry.
My well ran dry on September 8, 1964, 8.6 miles outside Scranton.
Pining for the past? Or disdaining the present?
Since that inexpungable youthful experience, I have had many other occasions to experience homesickness of one sort or another.
Yet over the years, my definition of "home" has changed dramatically.
Because I have spent the last 38 years of my life in New York City or its suburbs, "home" now encompasses the tri-state area defined by New York, Pennsylvania and, grudgingly, the connective tissue of New Jersey.

Although all of these places are quite different from each other, all are in some sense the same, in that they resemble each other much more than any of them resembles the Yucatan, Belize or the Lower Sudan.
Thus, when I speak of being homesick, I refer to a regional, rather than a municipal or narrowly localized nostalgia.
Is she missing London? Or hating it?

What triggers the worst bouts of homesickness? Places like Branson, Missouri.
A few years ago, while researching a book about the deepest abysses of American pop culture, I spent several days trapped in this cultural Hades.
Plunked smack-dab in the northern reaches of the Ozarks, Branson started out as a congenial retirement home for aging but noble country and western singers (Roy Clark, Ferlin Huskie), but quickly devolved into an elephant's graveyard for washed-up lounge lizards, burnt-out comedy acts and has-beens of all descriptions -- Barbara Mandrell, Jim Stafford, Tony Orlando, Yakov Schmirnoff.
If you want to see fozzilized old nobodies who used to be somebody (or, in the case of the Osmond Brothers, fossilized old nobodies who have a brother and sister who used to be somebody), Branson is your place.
Branson, having no indigenous ethnic community, no people of color, no hipsters and no single living organism under the age of 80, made me deeply homesick for the East Coast, which, whatever its other failings, can effortlessly lay claim to all of the above.
In fact, Branson was so dreadful it made me homesick for Springfield, Missouri, 40 miles to the north, where I'd spent a couple of hours in the world's largest sporting goods store.
This is a phenomenon that psychologists describe as the Helsinki Syndrome, a situation where a person visiting Scandinavia from Utah hates Norway so much that he wishes he was back in Finland.

Often when we experience homesickness, it is not so much a case of longing for things that can only be found back home (good bagels, good subs, good films, good conversation) as yearning for a place that does not have what seems to be overstocked in our present locale (guns, cows, drug dealers, the Osmonds.)
It is not so much that we miss the familiarity of the place we have left as that we dread the strangeness of the place we have entered.
Thus, when I visit the hinterland of this great nation and learn that the best eatery in town is an Olive Garden or a Red Lobster, I not only feel homesick for New York and Philadelphia -- I actually start pining for Scranton.
This is also the case when I overstay my visit in foreign countries.
Overseas, it is not places or people that we miss so much as the jarring rupture with our normal daily routine.
In Spain people like to eat late. In France people start talking about what they're going to eat at lunch on Thursday before they've finished eating breakfast on Tuesday. And in England, it rains all the time.
When I stay in these countries for more than a few weeks, my homesickness is not a desire to go anywhere so much as a desire to leave here.
The value of homesickness
Lighten up, kid, you're building character.
McCarthy/Express/Getty Images
One emotion that has not received the attention it deserves is
preemptive homesickness
. This is the bittersweet aching for hearth and home that a traveler experiences before he has actually set out on his journey.
The Highland stand-up comic Billy Connelly says that all great Scottish songs are about going back home to places the singer has never actually left.
I have no trouble identifying with this feeling.
I am never as nostalgic for the crimson and gold leaves of the Hudson Valley as the day before I desert them for Los Angeles.
I never rhapsodize about the winsome charms of the Sleepy Hollow district quite as much as I do in the weeks before I actually take leave of them for a three-week vacation. Especially if I know I'm going somewhere grim and gritty like Detroit.
MORE: World's most dramatic runways
Painful though it is, homesickness has an indisputable psychological value as a character-building emotion. More than anything else, homesickness teaches us to stop taking things for granted.
When I find myself far away from home, what I miss most are the woods I rarely visit, the bike paths I infrequently navigate, the rivers and lakes I barely notice in the normal course of my life.
When I am far away from New York City, what I miss most are the Statue of Liberty, the Bronx Botanical Gardens and the ramshackle restaurants of City Island. In fact, I have lived in New York half my life and have never visited the Statue of Liberty, Rockaway Beach or the ramshackle restaurants of City Island.
But every time I travel to Sydney, Aberdeen or Lyons, I tell myself: You have got to get your priorities straight back home. You have got to eat in one of those ramshackle restaurants.
Primal, tertiary and transitory homesickness
Though many people live where they live because they were born there, and either love or hate these places accordingly, a huge number of people choose a place to live because they have reason to believe they will be happier there.
People looking for culture and excitement are going to be a lot happier in San Francisco than in Sacramento. People who want to be closer to the rhythms of life will fare better in Nebraska and Iowa than in Chicago. And people who want to spend the rest of their life crafting pottery and making the world a better place are definitely going to fit in much better in Burlington, Vermont, than in Youngstown, Ohio.
Yet in the end, all of these transplanted individuals will one day find themselves experiencing homesickness for the home they ultimately deserted.
The house I grew up in will never be in Tokyo or Tuscany.
Neither will my high school.
Or the stadium where I saw my first football game.
In the end, all of us realize, for better or worse, that the people we most resemble are the people we grew up with.

In my own case, I will never be able to think of myself as a New Yorker not because I am incapable of being surly and narcissistic and acquisitive and rude -- I am actually quite good at all these things -- but because nobody in New York was scarred for life by the epic collapse of the 1964 Philadelphia Phillies, the event that turned me into the vicious miscreant I am today.
Viewed in this fashion, homesickness often embodies a deeply rooted desire to return to the site of one's greatest misfortune.
Don't worry about her -- she'll be Skyping in a few minutes.
Marco Garcia/Getty Images
This sentiment is best described as
primal homesickness
, a disjointed emotional attachment to the people and places you hated so much while you were growing up that you had to move away.
transitory homesickness
, the fleeting yearning for the familiar that is regularly experienced by the traveler or the temporary transplant, primal homesickness is an enduring psychological condition. It is the overpowering desire to return to a place one moved heaven and earth to escape from in the first place.
In the grand scheme of things, it is irrational and self-defeating.
Yet, it exists. In fact, most people could not live without it.
Another emotion that deserves some attention is
tertiary homesickness
. This is the feeling an individual experiences when he temporarily moves from Point A to Point B, and then makes a trip to a Point C so repugnant it makes him homesick for Point B.
For example, much as I like to make fun of the French, I only need to spend 20 minutes in Holland or northern Spain before I become desperately homesick for gay Paree.
Much as I loathe the arid, one-trick-pony quality of Washington, D.C., I only need to spend an hour in a snake pit like South Bend, Indiana, before I yearn for the cool, gleaming sterility of our nation's capital.
The bland, interchangeable highways of New Jersey never seem as magical as when I've just spent 12 hours navigating the serpentine, kudzu-festooned highways and byways of northeast Arkansas.
Tertiary homesickness is a valuable reminder that no matter how bad things are back home, they can still get a whole lot worse out on the road.

Homesickness just isn't the same these days
As people grow older, they inevitably come to believe that their youth was a Periclean Age.
Although, as a general principle, I am suspicious of this theory, I do believe that the Golden Age of Homesickness has already come to an end.
With a McDonald's on every Parisian street corner, Lady Gaga on every billboard and battalions of buffoons yammering away on TV screens in hotel rooms everywhere, it is much harder to feel completely estranged from one's homeland.
In fact, the sight of highly placed pinheads running their mouths while I am visiting rural Scotland actually has the opposite effect, making me reluctant to return to a country that generously rewards such high-powered idiocy.
More than anything else, the electronic revolution has made it harder to experience good, old-fashioned homesickness.
When I went to France for the first time in 1972, I survived on a budget of $4.40 a day.
Back then, to make a phone call to the folks back home you had to drop by the local post office, reserve a phone booth and fork over the equivalent of one day's rent to have a five-minute chat on a crummy transatlantic line where you could barely hear what anyone was saying. That's why I never did it.
For $4.40, I could buy 10 liters of wine, which would alleviate even the worst pangs of homesickness.
Today, such problems no longer not exist. Today, we have the Internet, Skype, messaging, Twitter, Instagram and phones in European countries that actually work.
Today, when visiting the great nations of Europe, it is a lot harder to be desperately homesick. You have to work at it.
When discussing homesickness, it is all but impossible to pinpoint precisely what it is that one most misses when away from home. Friends? Food? Customs? The legal system? Movies?
Or is it a combination of them all?
I suspect the latter.
As is so often the case, it is Elvis who delivered the most insightful pronouncement on this subject.
Upon his return to Memphis after two years of military service in Germany, Elvis was asked what he most missed about being away from home.
"Everything," said Elvis.
I agree.

Ellis, Nowitzki help Mavs cruise past Magic
DALLAS (AP) — Monta Ellis figures the Dallas Mavericks are better off mentally than the last time they played a Western Conference contender.
Armed with three straight wins against losing teams and their best record in almost two years, the Mavericks have to get ready for three games against playoff-worthy foes in the West.
Ellis scored 21 points, Dirk Nowitzki added 15 and the Mavericks beat Orlando 107-88 Monday night, extending the Magic's longest skid of the season to eight games.
The Mavericks bounced back from a blowout loss to defending West champion San Antonio and now get set for a trip to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday, less than two weeks after blowing a late lead after Chris Paul left with a shoulder injury that still has him sidelined.
"I think our mindset is different heading into this game on a three-game winning streak," said Ellis, who scored 14 in the first half to help build an 18-point lead that withstood a few challenges after halftime. "Hopefully we continue with it."
Jameer Nelson scored 21 and Glen Davis added 19 points and eight rebounds for the Magic, who got swept on a swing through five Western Conference cities and lost by an average of 20 points.
"I'm disappointed that it didn't go the way we felt it should have went or could have went, but at the same time we get the opportunity to go home, see our families, sleep in our bed," Nelson said. "You get to play in front of your home fans."
The Mavericks (23-16) moved seven games over .500 for the first time since the end of the lockout-shortened 2011-12 season — the year after they won the franchise's first championship.
Nowitzki did most of his damage in the first half with 10 points, two nights after scoring 20 in the third quarter on his way to a season-high 40 against New Orleans.
Vince Carter, who had 17 points, was 3 of 4 from 3-point range and had consecutive 2-point baskets in an 8-0 run that finally put Orlando away in the fourth quarter. The spurt included a long pass from Jae Crowder to Brandan Wright for a dunk that put Dallas up 97-82.
Orlando was playing its second straight game without leading scorer Arron Afflalo (strained right foot) and starting center Nik Vucevic, who was back in Florida after sustaining a concussion at the Clippers in the opener of the long road trip.
"This is a team that is depleted because of injuries and stuff, but they're an NBA team," Dallas coach Rick Carlisle said. "They made a couple of runs at us. We did a good job of getting the lead back up in the game."
Jose Calderon scored 13, including a 3 at the shot-clock buzzer that gave the Mavericks their biggest lead of the first half at 58-36. The shot came after Ellis missed badly on a wild layup, but Wayne Ellington grabbed one of his season-high seven rebounds and found Calderon beyond the arc.
Nelson played despite injuring a finger in a loss at Denver two nights earlier and had seven assists
The veteran guard's supporting cast tried to keep the game close early in the second half, with Davis scoring the first six Orlando points after halftime as part of a 21-5 run that got the Magic to 63-57. Davis scored 12 during the run.
"I was being more aggressive," Davis said. "I had nothing to lose. I ended up making a nice run and kind of getting the game under control a little bit. They just came back and made another run."
Calderon hit another 3-pointer to get the Dallas lead back to 13, and Ellis pulled up from long range with the shot clock running down to finish a 12-0 spurt that put the Mavericks up 75-57.
Ellington had a season-high 12 points.
NOTES: Mavericks F Shawn Marion sat out again with shoulder and rib injuries, and rookie point guard Shane Larkin was sidelined with a right ankle injury sustained Saturday against the Pelicans. … Magic F Maurice Harkless played despite a sore right knee and had 13 points and seven rebounds. … Nowitzki became the 24th player in NBA history with 1,400 3-pointers on a shot that put Dallas up 84-64 late in the third quarter.

Kate's wonderful post on the somewhat lost art of getting absorbed in an activity — deliberately not multi-tasking (unitasking? monotasking?) — nudged me closer to a decision I've been putting off for a while. Toward the end of her post, Kate said
Also, if you don't see me around here? It's generally safe to assume it's because I'm feeling the need to do more listening than talking. That's all.
For the last several weeks, I've had this terrible feeling that I would have to flounce from the internet altogether to retain my mental health. It's not that I don't love this blog, or that I don't adore having a real audience for my writing,* or that I don't have anything to say about what we talk about here. It's just that I've been writing and moderating here for almost three years,** and I am tired.
I'm tired of high-speed, high-quality interactivity. I'm tired of multitasking. I'm tired of keeping track of commenters; much as I love you all, there are just so damn many of you these days. I'm tired of reading drive-by trolls whose sole purpose in life is to hurt me and anyone else who happens to be reading. What I'm not tired of, thank god, is reading and writing; I'm tired of talking. Bone tired. Kate's post hit me between the eyes: I need to make more room in my life for being absorbed, for letting my mind stay with one thing for a while without wandering. If I don't do something differently, disaster is imminent.
So here's what I've decided: I'm not gonna flounce off the internet. I'm not going to leave the blog and scorch the earth behind me. I'm just going to take a Shapely Sabbatical. You won't see me around here for a while (except possibly with an occasional comment, link, or especially clever lemur). I have complete faith that my co-bloggers will soldier on just fine without me, and that you all will play nice and follow the ever-more-draconian comments policy we all know and love. And I trust that I can go on sabbatical, work on my dissertation and my poetry and my sanity, and come back to blogging when I've got the passion for it again.
*It still floors me, in fact — I can write something, and then thousands of people will read it and pass it on! I have dreamed of having that kind of audience all my life, and it's no less delightful even with my author photo as a cartoon and my nom de plume stolen from a Doty poem.
**I believe that's thirty in Internet Years.

This video comes from last night's Lakers-Rockets game, which ended as another demoralizing loss of the Lakers. That's Steve Nash wiping the sweat from his armpits with a towel, casually handing the towel to his teammate Metta World Peace, and then walking away as World Peace proceeds to bury his face in the gross, sweaty towel.
It sure looks like World Peace sees Nash jam the towel all up into his sweaty pits, and yet he's still eager to take it and use it on his own face. And Nash just gives it to him like it's no big deal, without even the slightest warning about where that towel has just been. The pit sweat seems to have had a positive effect on World Peace, however. He finished the game with 24 points and went 4-5 from the three-point line. There's just no end to the ways in which Steve Nash can make his teammates better.

The Department of Mad Scientists (Hardcover)
How DARPA Is Remaking Our World, from the Internet to Artificial Limbs
Smithsonian Books (DC), 9780061577932, 295pp.
Publication Date: October 20, 2009
Other Editions of This Title:
Paperback (11/2/2010)
The first-ever inside look at DARPA—the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency—the maverick and controversial group whose futuristic work has had amazing civilian and military applications, from the Internet to GPS to driverless cars
America's greatest idea factory isn't Bell Labs, Silicon Valley, or MIT's Media Lab. It's the secretive, Pentagon-led agency known as DARPA. Founded by Eisenhower in response to Sputnik and the Soviet space program, DARPA mixes military officers with sneaker-wearing scientists, seeking paradigm-shifting ideas in varied fields—from energy, robotics, and rockets to peopleless operating rooms, driverless cars, and planes that can fly halfway around the world in just hours. DARPA gave birth to the Internet, GPS, and mind-controlled robotic arms. Its geniuses define future technology for the military and the rest of us.
Michael Belfiore was given unprecedented access to write this first-ever popular account of DARPA. Visiting research sites across the country, he watched scientists in action and talked to the creative, fearlessly ambitious visionaries working for and with DARPA. Much of DARPA's work is classified, and this book is full of material that has barely been reported in the general media. In fact, DARPA estimates that only 2 percent of Americans know much of anything about the agency. This fascinating read demonstrates that DARPA isn't so much frightening as it is inspiring—it is our future.
Praise For The Department of Mad Scientists: How DARPA Is Remaking Our World, from the Internet to Artificial Limbs…
If you want to know who really invented the Internet, or how brain waves can control robotic limbs, or how smart cars will become brilliant, this is your book. A must-read for those interested in invention in the modern age
-Joe Pappalardo, Popular Mechanics
"A fascinating introduction to a veritable pantheon of geek gods who quietly shaped the face of modern technology."
-Daniel H. Wilson, roboticist and author of How to Survive a Robot Uprising
"An entertaining and information rich account of a small, efficient government agency that often turned 20th century sci-fi into 21st century technical reality. Belfiore will inspire young readers of a scientific bent to flood DARPA with their resumes."
-Robert Wallace, author of SPYCRAFT: The Secret History of the CIA's Spytechs from Communism to al-Qaeda
"An inspiring book about a crucial government agency (DARPA) with a driving spirit to do the impossible and to do it fast. We all need to read this book."
-John Seely Brown, Former Chief Scientist of Xerox and Director of its Palo Alto ResearchCenter (PARC) John Seely Brown, Former Chief Scientist of Xerox and Director of its Palo Alto ResearchCenter (PARC)
[DARPA's] history has never been told at the level of detail and with such mastery as in this book by Michael Belfiore
-Leonard Kleinrock, Distinguished Professor of Computer Science, UCLA, and Internet pioneer
"An expansive look at one of the most important agencies not only in the Department of Defense, but in American history."
-Nathan Hughes, Military Analyst, STRATFOR
PRAISE FOR ROCKETEERS:"Belfiore excels at painting the world of NewSpace."
-New Scientist
"A riveting, you-are-there account of how this ragtag collection of innovative thinkers, brave pilots, and bold visionaries is--right now--launching one of the most exciting new industries in history. Belfiore's eloquent writing and exhaustive reporting really bring this mysterious, secretive world to life."
-Popular Science
"That this story is still unfolding makes it especially exciting to read. These men are still in their workshops, tinkering their way into orbit."
"The commerical space race is heating up so fast you need a cheat sheet to keep track of all the billionaires and gamblers vying to be the first private entrepreneur to blast paying customers into orbit. [Belfiore] does a stellar job introducing an intriguing cast of characters."
"The privitization of space travel is an essential step toward realizing our cosmic destiny. In his engaging, highly readable ROCKETEERS, Michael Belfiore tells the fascinating story of the entrepreneurs who have already made it happen."
-Buzz Aldrin

The Bridge Naming Committee unanimously selected "Tilikum Crossing, Bridge of the People" for the name for the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Transit Bridge. The committee recommended it to TriMet's General Manager Neil McFarlane, who thanked the committee for their work and deliberation, and accepted it as the name for the bridge.
"The committee spent a tremendous amount of time and dedication to select a name that speaks to our past, our future, and the importance of transit connecting our community," he said.
The unique bridge, now under construction, is the first multi-modal bridge in the U.S. to carry light rail and streetcar trains, buses, bikes and pedestrians, but no private vehicles. The committee of 10 citizens from diverse backgrounds spent about eight months deliberating, which included reviewing nearly 9,500 submissions and thousands of comments from the public.
Committee Chair and historian Chet Orloff said the Native American name was selected because it holds the "most promise to connect the people of our region today with the long past of people who have been here for thousands of years, and to connect with future generations."
"Tillicum" to "Tilikum"
While the spelling "Tillicum" was initially proposed, the Committee selected "Tilikum" because that is how the first people who lived here spelled the word. The word is Chinook Wawa, an international language used by first Oregonians, and later spoken by
explorers, fur traders, settlers and the first few generations of Portlanders. Chinook Wawa is still spoken today. Tilikum means people, tribe and relatives and has come to mean friendly people and friends.
"Tilikum symbolizes coming together," said Orloff. "It conveys connections, in not only the relationships between people, but in the connections we will make as we ride, walk, run and cycle across this beautiful new bridge."
Chinookans are indigenous peoples and tribes who have lived near the Columbia and Willamette rivers for 14,000 years. However, Chinook jargon is not the language of any one tribe.
A sampling of public submissions in favor of "Tilikum":
"To honor Native Americans of the Pacific Northwest who used this word to name a friend, or refer to the common people."
"This is a people's bridge (not a car bridge) in more ways than one. This name also ties us to the past and present through this Northwest Native American word."
Background: Criteria for naming the bridge
This is the first time the public has had the opportunity to participate in naming a bridge over the Willamette River in our area. The committee used the following criteria to select four finalist names, as well as the final name, including:
• Origin of name
• Meaning of proposed name
• Is it inspirational? If so, why?
• Does it reflect how bridge connects people? If so, how?
• Historical significance (if any)
• Biographical info (if commemorative)
• Any special cultural meaning?
• What will it mean 100 years from now?
• Spelling
• Pronunciation
• Sound/ring/flow
• Regional perspective
About the Tilikum Crossing, Bridge of the People
The bridge, the first built over the Willamette River in Portland in more than 40 years, will be the first cable-stayed bridge for the region, extending 1,720 feet (.326 miles) over the river. The bridge alignment is SW Porter Street on the west side and SE Sherman Street on the east side. This unique bridge will carry transit, bicyclists and pedestrians but no private vehicles. Emergency vehicles will be able to access the bridge as necessary. The bridge includes two 14-foot-wide multi-use paths—one on the north side and one on the south—the widest multi-use paths on any bridge in Portland.
About the Portland-Milwaukie Light Rail Transit Project
The 7.3-mile project is the region's sixth MAX construction project to be built and extends from the terminus of the MAX Green and Yellow lines at Portland State University in Downtown Portland to South Waterfront, SE Portland, Milwaukie and North Clackamas County. About the project:
• 7.3 miles
• 10 stations
• The first of its kind multi-modal transit bridge will carry light rail, buses, bikes, pedestrians and a future Portland Streetcar extension, but no private vehicles.
• Opens Saturday, Sept. 12, 2015
• Expands the MAX system to 60 miles and 97 stations
Project partners
The Federal Transit Administration, State of Oregon, City of Portland, Portland Development Commission, Clackamas County, Metro, City of Milwaukie, Multnomah County, City of Oregon City, Oregon Department of Transportation and TriMet.

For the past couple of months, it has been a minor California political mystery.
Who was paying the petition circulators to collect signatures so that a political party no one ever heard of -- Americans Elect -- could have a spot for its presidential candidate on next year's ballot in California?
Sunday's New York Times carried a partial answer: rich foks who don't like the two party system and want to fund a third party system to represent "the radical center."
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
The party plans to get its candidate on the ballot in all 50 states. [CORRECTION: California is the 8th state where Americans Elect has qualified. This post originally said California was first). But how to select the candidate? A convention process that allows people to sign up a delegates over the Internet.
It's an interesting idea. And unlikely to go anywhere, despite the touting of the idea in the Times. The record of successful, third-party candidates in modern presidential politics is perfect: they never win.
Independent voters may swing elections, but they don't represent a large enough slice of the electorate to be the base of a winning campaign.

(weewerk) - www.myspace.com/weewerk
(weewerk) is an independent record label, artist management, and promotions company based in Toronto, Canada.
(weewerk) was founded in November 2002 as a series of art-and-music salon events organized by indie-rock defender Phil Klygo (Skull Geek, teenage USA recordings, Canadian Music Week) and visual artist / curator Germaine Koh (www.germainekoh.com) in their Toronto apartment above uber-indie music store, Rotate This on influential/edgy Queen St. West.
The underground spirit of this endeavour quickly drew a devoted and wide-ranging following. As an extension of their DIY ethos, (weewerk) helped the young alt-folk artist Great Lake Swimmers release their haunting self-titled debut album in March 2003, and were immediately heralded as a fresh new record label within the independent Canadian music world.

In June, the newly-independent nation secured a similar deal for $100 million from Qatar National Bank (QNB), used to issue letters of credit for imports like food, fuel, building materials and medicine.
South Sudan, which seceded from Sudan last year under a 2005 peace deal, shut down its oil output of about 350,000 barrels per day in January in a row over how much it should pay to export through pipelines running through Sudanese territory.
The government still had about 20 percent of the QNB credit line left and planned to use it over the next two months, Commerce Minister Garang Diing Akuong said.
The letters of credit allow importers to buy dollars at the bank rate of 3.16 pounds to the dollar - a big discount to the black market price, he said.
"For the last three months, a lot of business people were using this facility," Akuong told Reuters at the weekend.
The deal also helped the South Sudanese Pound strengthen on the black market over the last few months from around 5.5 pounds to the dollar to about 4.2 now.
Akuong said he expected the new credit line would be settled "within two to three months, maximum," but declined to reveal the name of the bank because it had requested negotiations proceed in a "cool and quiet manner".
Fluctuations in the South Sudanese Pound are watched closely by foreign firms active in the country including cell phone operators MTN and Zain, which do business in pounds and then struggle to convert them into dollars to repatriate profits.
In addition to QNB, prominent international banks operating in South Sudan are Kenya Commercial Bank, Equity Bank and an affiliate of Dubai Islamic bank.
The oil shutdown erased about 98 percent of the landlocked nation's state revenues. It has almost no industry apart from oil after decades of civil war with north Sudan.
South Sudanese officials have said it could resume some oil production by the end of the year but restoring full output could take until midway through next year.
Stabilising the pound in the longer term will depend on the country boosting currently meagre exports, Akuong said.
South Sudan loses about $1 billion a year in hard currency to neighbouring Kenya and Uganda through remittances, informal trade and imports of goods as diverse as medicine, cement, clothes, furniture and food, he said.

Shoulder bag made with a sophisticated mix of materials: microfiber, leather and a special technical fabric.
The technical fabric that characterizes this travel bag and the entire Hypergrid accessory line is one of a kind. It is a nylon that is blended with a rubber grid: the result is a highly resistant material with a perforated texture. The central band of the Scuderia Ferrari bag is made of a special microfiber printed with a texture inspired by the asphalt found on the road, while all the details, handles and borders are made of leather. Its main closure has a reversible metal zipper with a pull tab decorated with 12 red dots resembling the brake lights of Ferrari race cars and produced by hand using a sophisticated technique. The shoulder strap can be attached to the side button hole, also painted red, making this bag very practical. On the bottom of the purse there are five metal feet, which are nickel free like all the other metallic inserts.

Launcher basics in the workflow console
Building onto my previous post on Defensio Profanity Integration, I want to talk about how to trigger CQ workflows based on node events in the Publish environments. In my previous post I have walked through the implementation and configuration needed to trigger the Profanity Check process step. The process step was added to the comment moderation workflow and from there on, everything seems quite automatic. You might wonder how the workflow actually got triggered as soon as a comment node is created, in the author environment. And how do you enable the same in the Publish environment?
The answer is the Launcher, located in the Workflow console.
The workflow launcher basically allows you to define the workflow to be launched if a specific type of node is created/modified/deleted. A default set of events have already been provided out of the box, thus the reason why everything seems automatic upon content generation (especially user generated content such as comments and discussion forum replies).
As you can see from the image above, a launcher event consists of:
- Event Type (node creation, deletion, modification, etc.)
- Type of node
- Location where event should be "watching"
- Condition (properties of the node) to match
- Workflow to trigger for the event
- Description of the event
- Enabled / Disabled
- Conditions to exclude from the event
- Run Modes for this event to apply to (Our Solution!)
Basically, the highlighted row above (#8) is saying: If there is a node type of cq:Comment created inside the /content/usergenerated folder, trigger the Comment Moderation workflow. And this should apply to the author environment.
To make this rule apply to the Publish environment, it's a simple modification of the event just like the following (select the appropriate Run Mode(s)):
Now, the above change is done in the workflow console (author environment). To push the configuration change itself, go to Tools and activate the config node under /workflow/launcher:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Supreme Court said on Tuesday it will issue same-day audio recordings of two high-profile gay marriage cases it is scheduled to hear next week.
Court spokeswoman Kathleen Arberg said the recordings would be available on the court's website, www.supremecourt.gov.
On March 26, when the court hears arguments over California's ban on same-sex marriage, the audio is due to be online by 1 p.m. ET (1700 GMT), Arberg said.
The next day, when the court weighs the federal Defense of Marriage Act, which limits the definition of marriage to opposite-sex couples, the audio will be available by 2 p.m. ET (1800 GMT), she added.
The court rarely issues same-day audio. Normally, it is available at the end of the week in which the argument was heard.

text: 4 'Caps named in All-League Teams September 30, 200812:00AM PDT Previous Next Vancouver Whitecaps FC announced that Martin Nash, Eduardo Sebrango, Wesley Charles, and Takashi Hirano have all been named in the United Soccer Leagues First Division (USL-1) All-League Teams for the 2008 season. Nash was named as one of four midfielders in the USL-1 All-League First Team, while Sebrango, Charles, and Hirano all earned places in the USL-1 All-League Second Team. For Nash, this season's honour is the third time that he has made an All-League First Team in the USL-1. In his eighth season with Vancouver, the 32-year-old first made the league's all-star first XI as a member of the Whitecaps (then 86ers) back in 1996, while the Canadian international's second selection came in 2007 after he set a new ironman record of 77 consecutive games played for the club. As a member of the Rochester Raging Rhinos in 2000, Nash made the All-League Second Team after helping the Upstate New York club to the USL-1 championship title. This season, Nash was a constant in the Whitecaps line-up, as he started all 30 matches in the regular season for 2,626 minutes. That total saw him finish fourth among the league's minute leaders. The midfielder also registered one goal and three assists for five points, with his lone goal being a spectacular match-winner in Vancouver's 3-1 home win over Pacific Northwest rivals Portland Timbers on June 7. Nash also earned a USL-1 Team of the Week honour in Week Eight. Joining Nash in the end-of-season league honours is the club's leading goalscorer Sebrango. The Cuban forward was one of two strikers named in the All-League Second Team after finishing third among the league's top goalscorers with 12 goals. He also finished in a tie for third with Atlanta Silverbacks forward Macoumba Kandji with 27 points in USL-1. Having appeared in all but one match during the regular season, Sebrango was also third in the league with 67 shots in 29 games. In his fourth season with the Whitecaps, Sebrango made the USL-1 Team of the Week on no less than six occasions (Weeks One, Four, Eight, 13, 17, and 20). Sebrango's efforts in 2008 also saw him claim several of the Whitecaps end-of-season awards, with the forward receiving the Most Valuable Player honour, the Domenic Mobilio Golden Boot as top goalscorer, the Fan Favourite Award, and the Blue & White Award for outstanding team spirit and community involvement. This is the second time in Sebrango's career that the striker has made an All-League Team, having been named in the 2002 USL-1 First Team as a member of Montreal Impact. Two Whitecaps defenders in Charles and Hirano also made the All-League Second Team in their first-ever USL-1 seasons. Despite only signing for the club on July 11, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines international Charles was a key figure in helping the Whitecaps to a second-place finish in the league standings, having filled the void at centre back left by the departure of Canadian international Adrian Cann to Danish club Esbjerg forenede Boldklubber (EfB) this summer. The 32-year-old made a total of 13 regular season appearances for 1,051 minutes. He also earned an assist on Luca Bellisomo's goal in Vancouver's 3-2 defeat away to Atlanta Silverbacks on August 5. Hirano also makes the All-League Second Team after making a significant contribution at left fullback for Teitur Thordarson's side in 2008. After signing for the Whitecaps on March 12, the former Japanese international made 22 appearances during the regular season for a total of 1,682 minutes. The 34-year-old scored his only goal from an exquisite free kick during a 1-1 away draw with Puerto Rico Islanders on August 31. The former J.League star's performances during the season also earned him a place in the USL-1 Team of the Week on two occasions (Weeks Four and 20). The popular defender was also named as the club's Newcomer of the Year earlier this month. CLICK HERE for the complete list of All-League Teams. The Whitecaps will battle Canadian rivals Montreal Impact in the USL-1 semifinals this weekend. The series will kickoff in Montreal, Quebec at Stade Saputo on Friday, October 3, at 5 p.m. PT. The second leg will be played in Burnaby, BC at Swangard Stadium on Sunday, October 5, at 3:30 p.m. PT. Tickets for the Whitecaps USL-1 semifinal home playoff match are now available at all Ticketmaster outlets, online at ticketmaster.ca, and by phone at 604.280.4400. For information on group tickets call the Whitecaps office at 604.669.WAVE (9283) or visit whitecapsfc.com. Previous Next
