We have previously discussed how Congress and the White House have yielded to demand for increasing copyright and trademark restrictions, including criminal prosecutions of ordinary citizens. One of my longest complaints is how people and businesses now claim ownership of common symbols and phrases. (here and here). This week we have two parties in a fight to claim trademark over a common expression. Roy Fox of Pendleton, Indiana secured a copyright to the term "Harbowl" last year to make money off of a Superbowl with the Baltimore Ravens under coach John Harbaugh and San Francisco 49ers under coach Jim Harbaugh. He was then muscled out of his trademark by NFL lawyers claiming to own the term "Superbowl."
We have previously discussed the ludicrous ability of the NFL to claim ownership of the term "Superbowl" but an army of NFL lawyers continue to threaten and sue people over the term. This is a case which shows how ridiculous the situation has become in the United States. The NFL was able to claim that even the use of the word "Bowl" was an infringement by a man who himself was claiming ownership of what is a common quip.
Fox caved after the NFL threatened to take him to court. There is no good party in this fight. The question is how long it will take to take the American people to demand action and bar such claims. The Obama Administration has long been criticized for being in the pocket of "copyright hawks" and Congress has shown a consistent willingness to give lobbyists anything that they want in this area. The result is that we are stifling creativity and criminalizing everyday day.
I am waiting for the Catholic Church to claim ownership of terms like the "Hail Mary pass."

Sports 2010 Toray Japan Open Tennis
We could congratulate Caroline Wozniacki for winning the 2010 Toray Japan Open Tennis Tournament after three tough sets against her friend, Elena Dementieva. The match was tighter than the numbers suggest. As it went into the third set Dementieva was worn down by time, tempo and heat. In spite of her poor start Wozniacki remained determined and turned the match by breaking the Russian's serve twice early in second set. Caroline Wozniacki was happy and looks forward to see if she can get the #1 spot in Beijing. I asked her if her yellow nails were to match the Liverpool FC logo or her yellow dress, but she just "likes strong color nails".Read More

Devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy forced at least two major hospitals and a data center in lower Manhattan to resort to backup generators fueled by diesel for power.
In these cases the backup processes failed.
In two of the outages, bucket brigades were formed to carry diesel fuel up many flights of stairs to feed generators. At the two hospitals, hundreds of people, including patients in critical condition and mothers with newborn babies, had to be evacuated.
One of the more ironic cases occurred at Bellevue Hospital, located along the East River in lower Manhattan, where excessive water caused a backup pumping system to fail even though it had been sealed to protect against flooding.
Bellevue, a public hospital, had to evacuate hundreds of patients on Wednesday after floods caused the failure of pumps that were moving diesel fuel from the basement to backup generators on the 13th floor.
At one point, the National Guard was called in to mount a bucket-brigade to lug the diesel fuel up the stairs to the generators.
The hospital clearly had a working continuity plan with the backup generators when it lost power on Monday from Con Edison.
However, the diesel pumps shorted out from floodwater even though they were encased with submarine doors that had rubber gaskets, said Alan Aviles, president of the Health and Hospitals Corp., which runs Bellevue.
"It's easy to judge from a ringside seat ... but this [kind of storm] has never happened before," Aviles said when asked about the adequacy of the hospital's continuity planning on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight show last night.
Bellevue officials will investigate exactly how the electrical short occurred, Aviles said on the show.
Aviles and other Bellevue officials did not respond to requests for further comment.
New York University's Langone Medical Center in lower Manhattan also evacuated patients, including newborn babies, on Monday night after its backup generators failed. Con Edison had preemptively shut off power to some parts of the lower island, and the utility also experienced an explosion at one substation in the area, according to reports.
Meanwhile, a data center at 75 Broad Street in lower Manhattan operated by Peer1 Hosting also faced a shutdown after diesel pumps in the building's basement failed due to flooding caused by the storm.
However, data center customers and others showed up to form a bucket-brigade to get the fuel to the rooftop generator on the 17-story building. The brigade was able to transport enough fuel to the rooftop to keep the data center running.
Continuity experts say that diesel pumps should be located high enough to stay operational during floods. "The diesel tank pumps probably should have been higher, but nobody anticipated this much water," said Al Berman, president of DRI International, the oldest disaster recovery education and certification organization with operations in 100 countries.
He noted that sealing the pumps, as was done at Bellevue, "never get tested either."
"There was no way to anticipate this storm's damage two weeks. [Bellevue] did what they could," Berman said in a telephone interview from Manhattan.
He suggested that a test of the sealant around the pumps could have made a difference, perhaps using water from fire hoses poured over them. "Unfortunately, we all test under the best circumstances and we execute under the worst," he said.
In lower Manhattan and especially at the two older hospitals, "you're looking at a lot of antiquated infrastructure," which probably contributed to problems there, Berman said.
In past years, offices and hospitals on Manhattan would rely on backup generators being turned on by Con Edison to guard against brown-outs and black-outs. Today, many organizations can turn on their own backup generators as needed, Berman said.
Cell phone towers have long operated mostly with two-hour backup batteries, though wireless carriers are now realizing the need for portable generators at cell sites, he said. At the height of Hurricane Sandy, about 25% of all cell phone towers in 10 states hit by the storm had lost service, according to the Federal Communications Commission.
The lesson from Hurricane Sandy, Berman said, is that hospital accreditation organizations and businesses need to stick to the basics of continuity planning and to revise testing procedures.
"Somebody should say, 'What's the backup?.' We should also change the way we do testing and the scenarios for testing," Berman added.
"You're seeing in Manhattan that people are living through something they never lived through before, and the learning process is costly," he said. "Fortunately, the hospitals did a great job with the evacuations. We learn a lot of lessons from disasters and some are tougher than others."

text: Apple's OS X is vulnerable to the Shellshock bug, but it's not that easy for attackers to take advantage of it, according to Intego, which specializes in security software for the operating system.Shellshock is the nickname for a flaw in the Bourne Again Shell, or Bash, which is a command-line shell processor widely present in Unix and Linux systems. The flaw in Bash, which has been present for two decades, could allow an attacker to take complete control of a computer.Apple, which plans to patch the flaw, said most users are fine unless they've tweaked advanced Unix settings. By adjusting those settings, Bash could be exposed to attackers, wrote Derek Erwin of Intego in a blog post. Intego has already seen proof-of-concept exploits for OS X, he wrote.For example, Bash would be exposed if a user turned on the remote login capability for all users, including guests. But that is an action that "is probably not the most secure thing to do anyway," Erwin wrote, as it would open up the computer to other possible attacks.Another scenario in which adjusted settings could make a difference is on a Lion OS X server running Apache or PHP scripting environments, Erwin wrote. If Apache is configured to run scripts, an attacker could insert variables into a script that a Bash shell would run."This one, however, requires exploiting two holes," he wrote. "First, in the script running on Apache, and then in turn using that compromised script to send something to the Bash shell."Both scenarios, however, are "edge cases," he wrote, "and both routes probably require a level of technical expertise that the person configuring their account as such can patch the exploit fairly simply."Computer security researchers are still trying to figure out the extent to which Internet-connected devices are vulnerable to Bash, as the software is so prevalent. Attackers have been scanning the Internet to find vulnerable systems, and experts are predicting that more specific attacks customized for vulnerable systems will emerge.Send news tips and comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.

[252 U.S. 553, 554] Mr. Wm. D. Mitchell, of St. Paul, Minn., for petitioner.
[252 U.S. 553, 557] Mr. Ernest A. Michel, of Ninneapolis, Minn., for respondent.
Mr. Justice CLARKE delivered the opinion of the Court.
The only question presented for decision in this case is as to the validity of section 7709 of the Statutes of Minnesota (General Statutes of Minnesota 1913), which reads:
The Circuit Court of Appeals, reversing the District [252 U.S. 553, 559] Court, held this statute invalid for the reason that the exemption in favor of citizens of Minnesota rendered it repugnant to article 4, section 2, of the Constitution of the United States, which declares that--
The action was commenced in the District Court of the United States for the District of Minnesota, Second Division, by the respondent, a citizen of North Dakota, against the petitioner, a corporation organized under the laws of the Dominion of Canada, to recover damages for personal injuries sustained by him on November 29, 1913, when employed by the petitioner as a switchman in its yards at Humboldt, in the province of Saskatchewan. The respondent, a citizen and resident of North Dakota, went to Canada and entered the employ of the petitioner as a switchman a short time prior to the accident complained of. He remained in Canada for six months after the accident and then returned to live in North Dakota. He commenced this action on October 15, 1915, almost two years after the date of the accident. By the laws of Canada, where the cause of action arose, an action of this kind must be commenced within one year from the time injury was sustained. If the statute of Minnesota, above quoted, is valid, it is applicable to the action, which, being barred in Canada, cannot be maintained in Minnesota by a nonresident plaintiff. If, however, the statute is invalid, the general statute of limitations of Minnesota, allowing a period of six years within which to commence action, would be applicable. The record properly presents the claim of the petitioner that the Circuit Court of Appeals erred in holding the statute involved unconstitutional and void.
It is plain that the act assailed was not enacted for the purpose of creating an arbitrary or vexatious discrimination against nonresidents of Minnesota. [252 U.S. 553, 560] It has been in force ever since the state was admitted into the Union in 1858; it is in terms precisely the same as those of several other states, and in substance it does not differ from those of many more. It gives a nonresident the same rights in the Minnesota courts as a resident citizen has, for a time equal to that of the statute of limitations where his cause of action arose. If a residet citizen acquires such a cause of action after it has accrued, his rights are limited precisely as those of the nonresident are, by the laws of the place where it arose. If the limitation of the foreign state is equal to or longer than that of the Minnesota statute, the nonresident's position is as favorable as that of the citizen.
It is only when the foreign limitation is shorter than that of Minnesota, and when the nonresident who owns the cause of action from the time when it arose has slept on his rights until it is barred in the foreign state (which happens to be the respondent's case), that inequality results-and for this we are asked to declare a statute unconstitutional which has been in force for 60 years.
This court has never attempted to formulate a comprehensive list of the rights included within the 'privileges and immunities' clause of the Constitution (article 4, 2), but it has repeatedly approved as authoritative the statement by Mr. Justice Washington, in 1825, in Corfield v. Coryell, 4 Wash. C. C. 371, 380, Fed. Cas. No. 3,230 (the first federal case in which this clause was considered), saying:
In the Corfield Case the court included in a partial list of such fundamental privileges 'the right of a citizen of one state ... to institute and maintain actions of any kind in the courts of' another. [252 U.S. 553, 561] The state of Minnesota, in the statute we are considering, recognized this right of citizens of other states to institute and maintain suits in its courts as a fundamental right, protected by the Constitution, and for one year from the time his cause of action accrued the respondent was given all of the rights which citizens of Minnesota had under it. The discrimination of which he complains could arise only from his own neglect.
This is not disputed, nor can it be fairly claimed that the limitation of one year is unduly short, having regard to the likelihood of the dispersing of witnesses to accidents such as that in which the respondent was injured, their exposure to injury and death, and the failure of memory as to the minute details of conduct on which questions of negligence so often turn. Thus, the holding of the Circuit Court of Appeals comes to this, that the privilege and immunity clause of the Constitution guarantees to a nonresident precisely the same rights in the courts of a state as resident citizens have, and that any statute which gives him a less, even though it be an adequate, remedy is unconstitutional and void.
Such a literal interpretation of the clause cannot be accepted.
From very early in our history, requirements have been imposed upon nonresidents in many, perhaps in all, of the states as a condition of resorting to their courts, which have not been imposed upon resident citizens. For instance, security for costs has very generally been required of a nonresident, but not of a resident citizen, and a nonresident's property in many states may be attached under conditions which would not justify the attaching of a resident citizen's property. This court has said of such requirements:
The principle on which this holding rests is that the constitutional requirement is satisfied if the nonresidn t is given access to the courts of the state upon terms which in themselves are reasonable and adequate for the enforcing of any rights he may have, even though they may not be technically and precisely the same in extent as those accorded to resident citizens. The power is in the courts, ultimately in this court, to determine the adequacy and reasonableness of such terms. A man cannot be said to be denied, in a constitutional or in any rational sense, the privilege of resorting to courts to enforce his rights when he is given free access to them for a length of time reasonably sufficient to enable an ordinarily diligent man to institute proceedings for their protection.
This is the principle on which this court has repeatedly ruled that contracts were not impaired in a constitutional sense by change in limitation statutes which reduced the time for commencing actions upon them, provided a reasonable time was given for commencing suit before the new bar took effect. Sohn v. Waterson, 17 Wall. 596; Terry v. Anderson, 95 U.S. 628 , 632; Tennessee v. Sneed, 96 U.S. 69 , 74; Antoni v. Greenhow, 107 U.S. 769, 774 , 2 S. Sup. Ct. 91.
A like result to that which we are announcing was reached with respect to similar statutes, in Chemung Canal Bank v. Lowery, 93 U.S. 72 ; by the Circuit Court of Appeals, Second Circuit, in Aultman & Taylor Co. v. Syme, 79 Fed. 238, 24 C. C. A. 539; in Klotz v. Angle, 220 N. Y. 347, 116 N. E. 24; and in Robinson v. Oceanic Steam Navigation Co., 112 N. Y. 315, 325, 19 N. E. 625, 627 (2 L. R. A. 636).
In this last case the Court of Appeals of New York pertinently says: [252 U.S. 553, 563] 'A construction of the constitutional limitation [the one we are considering] which would apply it to such a case as this would strike down a large body of laws which have existed in all the states from the foundation of the government, making some discrimination between residents and nonresidents in legal proceedings and other matters.'
The laws of Minnesota gave to the nonresident respondent free access to its courts, for the purpose of enforcing any right which he may have had, for a year-as long a time as was given him for that purpose by the laws under which he chose to live and work-and having neglected to avail himself of that law, he may not successfully complain because his expired right to maintain suit elsewhere is not revived for his benefit by the laws of the state to which he went for the sole purpose of prosecuting his suit. The privilege extended to him for enforcing his claim was reasonably sufficient and adequate and the statute is a valid law.
It results that the judgment of the Circuit Court of Appeals must be reversed and that of the District Court affirmed.

CORVALLIS, Ore. – The Sun Devils don't want to be reminded about last season.
But coming off a third straight loss, it was hard not to think about it.
Arizona State started 5-1 last season, but then went 1-6 to finish 6-7. This season the Sun Devils started 5-1, but they've lost consecutive games to Oregon, UCLA and, most recently, Oregon State.
"We're frustrated and we know the feeling, having gone through this last year," running back Cameron Marshall said. "We haven't given up on the season or anything. We know there's still a lot to play for."
The Sun Devils (5-4, 3-3 Pac-12) took a quick 14-3 lead over the No. 13 Beavers on Saturday night, but couldn't maintain the momentum and lost 36-26.
"Their defense dominated our offense, then we gave up big plays on our defense," coach Todd Graham said. "Those are things you can't do."
It was Arizona State's fourth straight loss in Corvallis.
Cody Vaz recovered from a shaky start to throw for 267 yards and three touchdowns for the Beavers (7-1, 5-1), while Terron Ward rushed for 146 yards and a score.
Arizona State scored on the return after Vaz fumbled on Oregon State's opening drive, but the Beavers pulled away after a 19-all tie at the half to keep the Sun Devils from bowl eligibility.
A fan in the crowd held a sign reading "We're All BelieVaz" for the junior quarterback who was awarded the start after Sean Mannion struggled the week before with four interceptions in a loss to Washington.
Vaz had started two games for the Beavers and won them both while Mannion recovered from left knee surgery. Mannion, a sophomore, started the Beavers' first four games and averaged 339 yards passing, but was off when he returned in the 20-17 loss to the Huskies.
Vaz's night started poorly when he lost the ball on Oregon State's 1 on the opening drive and Arizona State defensive end Junior Onyeali returned it for the touchdown to give the Sun Devils the early lead.
Vaz appeared unsure of himself, but the Beavers' next drive ended with Trevor Romaine's 41-yard field goal. Arizona State answered with Cameron Marshall's 1-yard scoring run for a 14-3 lead.
After Vaz got back on track and hit Markus Wheaton with a 50-yard scoring pass, Arizona State got a safety on a blocked punt for a 16-10 lead. The Sun Devils added a 31-yard field goal from Jon Mora.
Ward's 53-yard TD run narrowed it again for Oregon State and the Beavers tied it at 19 going into halftime on Romaine's 45 yard field goal.
Vaz came out of the break looking steadier, and opened with a scoring drive that ended with a 17-yard TD pass to Wheaton as the Beavers pulled in front 26-19. Romaine tied his career high with his third field goal, a 33-yarder, later in the third quarter.
Vaz found Brandin Cooks with a 49-yard scoring pass to make it 36-19 with 10:54 left. In the end, Vaz completed 14 of 33 passes. He was intercepted once and sacked six times.
Arizona State quarterback Taylor Kelly threw a 2-yard scoring pass to Marion Grice with 22 seconds remaining. Kelly finished with 153 yards passing, a touchdown and an interception.
"We're disappointed, but I've got great confidence in our guys," Kelly said. "They've got great character when things hit the fan."
Arizona State saw the return of defensive tackle Will Sutton, considered one of the top defensive players in the Pac-12. He missed Arizona State's last game after injuring his right knee early in the Sun Devils' 43-21 loss to Oregon on Oct. 18.
The loss to the Ducks was the first of two straight at home for Arizona State after a three-game winning streak. Then the Sun Devils fell 45-43 to UCLA last weekend.

PlayStation Card
Originally uploaded by PlayStation.Blog
I don't really know how Sony or Visa can offer a credit card at a time when we're at the precipice of national financial ruin, but they did. I actually know someone who has one of these.
The Casual Games Maven was trying to persuade me to pick one of these things up. Although I'm swayed by the cards looks, she said the card had some crazy incentive like no interest for 12 months or something like that. There's also that $150 off a PlayStation 3 but seeing as how I already have on … perhaps the Sony-branded card would do.
If I were to get a new credit card, I'd probably spend it on a shiny new TV. But alas, I have no credit or money or altruistic intentions. Yes, I am poor.

There is an amazing fullscreen image slideshow included with the theme – it provides an option to completely hide the navigation sections and display the images in the full size of the window.
Font Management
The theme provides a friendly user interface to implement Cufon Font replacement and Google API Fonts. For the Cufon font replacement you can either use one of the fonts that the theme comes with or upload your own custom font. For the Google Fonts we have created a section where you can enable as many fonts as you like just by adding the URL the API provides. You can check out the font management section here
Advanced Styling Buttons
The theme includes an unique set of buttons that allow you to directly insert the styled content into your editor area. In this way, you can easily organize your content while creating it without having to save and preview your page with every change you do.
Adobe Lightroom Integration
The WP/LR Sync service can be used to publish / export your photos and collections from Lightroom to WordPress and to keep them synchronized. Jordy Meow, the creator of WP/LR Sync has recently released a Pexeto Theme extension that adds support for our themes to the WP/LR Sync service – with this extension enabled, the portfolio items (and their categories) in Photolux will be synchronized with your Lightroom (photos, collections, and collection sets). Please note that the WP/LR Sync service does not come with the theme and has to be purchased separately.
Extensive Documentation
The theme comes with a detailed documentation, which includes examples, screenshots and all the main instructions you will need to customize your site. Additionally, we have included a "Beginners" section which includes some helpful links about working with WordPress and instructions about what steps to follow when setting the theme.
Content Editor
This theme supports the WordPress classic editor only and a major part of its elements rely on the classic editor. This requires installing the Classic Editor plugin.

A few years ago, I bought a bright orange city bike, which I chose because it allowed me to sit up as I rode. A few times a week, I wear my regular clothes—mostly dresses—to go to meetings, run errands or ride on the bike path by my house. I don't own any padded shorts. What would you call me?
A New York Times op-ed that made the rounds last week called people like me a "cyclist." So did an entire series on biking in the Los Angeles Times. In fact, most U.S. stories about bikes or biking lump every kind of bike rider, from cruising tourists to city commuters to training racers, into this single category.
But every time someone refers to me has a cyclist, I shake my head. A cyclist is someone wearing those padded shorts, hunched over a bike with clip-in pedals—someone who's more likely to be heading to a triathlon on the weekend instead of putting crepe paper through her spokes and toodling downtown to meet some friends for brunch.
It turns out, I'm not alone in this. "To me, and many others, 'cyclist' brings to mind someone wearing Lycra, riding a performance bike—someone who is engaged more in a sport than a mode of transportation or accessible recreation," says Carolyn Szczepanski, director of communications at the League of American Bicyclists. "While we absolutely embrace those riders, it doesn't paint a full, realistic picture of the people who are riding—both for advocacy and outreach purposes and public perception purposes."
Would you call these people cyclists? Top: A "hipster on a fixed gear bike," photo by solominviktor; Bottom: "visionary cargo bike mom" Shelby Sanchez rides with her kids in Long Beach, California, photo by Lisa Beth Anderson for Pedal Love
Even biking publications are pulling away from the term. "We try to avoid the word 'cyclist' consciously as much as possible," says Mia Kohout, CEO and editor-in-chief of Momentum Magazine. "The word evokes a lot of negative connotations. There's a huge group of people—60 percent of the people in cities—who are interested and concerned about riding a bike, but the word seems too hardcore to them."
From an advocacy standpoint, getting rid of the word "cyclist" removes perceptual barriers that prevent people from trying biking in the first place, says Dave Snyder, executive director of the California Bicycle Coalition. "It makes biking accessible to anyone, and diminishes the sense of biking as an activity for a subculture or one that requires an 'identity' to engage in. Someone who has a bike in their house somewhere and only occasionally rides it and never would consider themselves a 'cyclist' is someone we should definitely reach out to."
In short, "cyclist" might be too narrow of a word to describe many Americans on bikes today. But it's more than just semantics. The word "cyclist" may be making biking more unsafe.
"I personally think the word 'cyclist' is too mechanized and allows others to not consider 'cyclists' people," says Alexis Lantz, a policy analyst with the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health and former policy director for the Los Angeles County Bicycle Coalition. The term, she says, focuses more on the bike itself—on an object, not a person—as opposed to who's riding it, obscuring the fact that there's a living, breathing human behind the handlebars.
Instead, Lantz and many other advocates recommend ditching "cyclists" for a simple yet important replacement: "people on bikes."
"People who ride bikes" or "people on bicycles" puts the emphasis back on the human activity, says Szczepanski. "We want to put 'people' first. We want to make sure that policymakers, motorists, everyone recognizes that we are your mothers, sisters, friends, neighbors who are using this great tool—a bicycle—and deserve to be safe and respected like everyone else."
A safety campaign by Bike Pittsburgh focuses on people and avoids the word "cyclist"
Of course, not all bike advocates agree that this is a battle worth fighting. At this month's California by Bike Summit in Oakland, this debate arose during a workshop on reaching out to groups underserved by biking. "Some people feel strongly about keeping the word 'cyclist' intact as the standard for simplicity's sake," says attendee Maria Sipin, a health communications specialist at Children's Hospital Los Angeles. "Others demand more diversity and inclusion, which can be achieved by using language that appeals to more people." Sipin believes it's a personal choice: "As a road safety instructor, I give people the option to self-identify and describe their own experience on bikes." What does Sipin call herself? "A person who loves to ride a bicycle," she says.
A phrase like that, while accurate, can be a real mouthful—or a nightmare for a newspaper editor's word count. So maybe we need to coin a new word entirely. For precedent here, we can look to The Netherlands where, in some cities, up to 70 percent of all trips are taken by bike. According to Mark Wagenbuur, who blogs at the site Bicycle Dutch, there's a very interesting differentiation between the English and Dutch languages when it comes to biking.
The Dutch word for bike is fiets, but that word can only describe what we Americans would call a city bike or sit-up bike. If the bike in question is what we'd call a racing bike or a road bike, they'd call that race fiets or wielrenfiets. "The same goes for fietser or cyclist," writes Wagenbuur. "To a Dutch person that can never be someone in specific clothes on a race fiets. The Dutch have a different word for those people, they call them wielrenner—literally 'wheel runner,' and it is pronounced almost like that. A fietser is someone in everyday clothes on a sit-up bike—and nothing else!"

Of course, it may not even be that simple. Professional triathlete Jennifer Tetrick is proud to call herself a cyclist, even though she acknowledges the stereotypes around the term. But the other categories are not so cut-and-dried, she says. She sees different types of bikes creating their own kinds of cliques—fixed-gear bikes, beach cruisers, lowriders, folding bikes, commuter bikes, recumbent trikes—and also notes that people can move between the labels, like a person who starts out riding to work and eventually decides to race. "I wouldn't want to get stuck in the language," says Tetrick. "We get so caught up in what defines us in some ways instead of what unites us as people who love bikes and want to see more people on bikes. People have to start riding somewhere."
The issue is only going to become more complex as more Americans take to the streets in whatever kind of new two-wheeled contraptions are are on the horizon, resulting in perhaps even more new terminology. Maybe it's time bike riders stop sub-labeling themselves at all, says Kohout. "I might use a bike to get around, but do we want to identify ourselves by the tools we use to get from point A to point B?"
"At one level it's kinda silly," agrees Snyder. "Do I consider myself a 'motorist' because I sometimes use a car?"
But that's exactly why the "people who bike" model works so well. We could extrapolate it across the entire world of transportation to bring back empathy and renewed attention to the people—the actual people—on our streets. Try saying "people who drive" instead of "drivers," or "people who walk" instead of "pedestrians." Suddenly this passive, faceless term that usually connotes a victim or someone at fault turns into a more active, visual description of an actual human who is choosing to do something. I can identify more with a "person who drives" or a "person who walks" or a "person who uses a wheelchair" or a "person who rides the bus" or a "person on a Segway," even if I don't do any of those things, because I understand, even beyond their mode of transit, they're still people.
If there's any group that could help guide this change, it's the League of American Bicyclists. The organization was founded in 1880 as the first advocacy organization for people who rode bikes, campaigning to improve road conditions and leading to the paving of roads nationwide. They've already witnessed several changes to the way Americans talk about bicycling. The original name of the group, based on what we called people on bikes back then? The League of American Wheelmen.

We're fortunate to meet many of you at conferences, where we can chat about web search and Webmaster Tools. We receive a lot of good feedback at these events: insight into the questions you're asking and issues you're facing. However, as several of our Webmaster Help Group friends have pointed out, not everyone can afford the time or expense of a conference; and many of you live in regions where webmaster-related conferences are rare.
So, we're bringing the conference to you.
We've posted notes in our Help Group from conferences we recently attended:
Next month, Jonathan and Wysz will post their notes from PubCon, while Bergy and I will cover SES Chicago.
If you can make it to one of these, we'd love to meet you face to face, but if you can't, we hope you find our jottings useful.

Kolam also known as Rangoli, is a dainty floor painting, which is an integral part of South Indian tradition. It is a beautiful and perhaps the only one art, drawn every day by women in the households. It symbolizes beauty and provides a welcoming environment.

A day in SaxonyThis is just an example for a perfect day in Saxony without the need for an overnight stay, making it the perfect day trip from Berlin or Prague: It starts with a visit of Königstein Fortress in Saxon Switzerland National Park. From the top of the table mountain the breathtaking landscape can be admired. A short drive to the outskirts of Dresden is followed by a steamboat ride from Pillnitz, the former summer palace of the Saxon kings, to Dresden's historic city centre. The beauty of the Elbe River Valley in Dresden, once declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site, lies in the perfect harmony of nature and architecture. After disembarking in front of Dresden's famous skyline after a one hour trip, the guided walk of Dresden begins, through the historic streets of Dresden and to many world-famous buildings like, the Zwinger, the Semper Opera House and the Church of Our Lady. A visit to the Green Vault treasury museum, one of the legendary museums of the Dresden State Art Coillections, leads to the "Court of Aurangzeb" and the Dresden Green Diamond from India. And so a memorable day comes to an end.
A stay in SaxonyThere are a number of popular day trips from Dresden. Most common is an excursion to nearby Moritzburg Castle, the famous hunting palace of Augustus the Strong with its incredible feather room, followed by Wackerbarth Castle Saxon State Winery and a visit to Meissen, the beautiful cradle of Saxony, including the manufactory where Europe's first and finest porcelain is made. A day trip to Leipzig, Saxony's largest city, is also recommended and it comes with the bonus of great shopping opportunities in the arcades and yards. Then there is breathtaking Görlitz, the movie makers' dream location, combined with Bautzen, the medieval capital of the Sorbs, with their distinctive traditions. And it is worth to add more time in Dresden itself, a most beautiful and interesting place to spend time at.
No limitsFrom Dresden, day trips can even be made to Berlin and Prague. It is a hassle-free way to add more destinations to the itinerary without having to pack bags all the time. For people with certain special interests, entire itineraries for Saxony can be built around the particular focus. For example, car enthusiasts can spend three days in Saxony and see the factories of Volkswagen, Porsche and BMW as well as the birthplace of Audi, with a drive in a Porsche or a race car added as a bonus. Lovers of classical music can tour Saxony for a week just focusing on music sights without getting bored. And art enthusiasts can spend days in the world-famous museums of the Dresden State Art Collections.

LOS ANGELES — He's acted, danced and sang his way through movies, television and the stage, making Dick Van Dyke an entertainment triple-threat long before Hollywood used such hyphenates.
The 87-year-old actor, best known for the 1960s hit comedy "The Dick Van Dyke Show" and Disney's big-screen musical "Mary Poppins," can now add lifetime achievement honoree. He picked up that honor at Sunday night's 19th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards.
"I've knocked around in this business for 70 years and I still haven't quite figured out exactly what it is I do," Van Dyke said after accepting his trophy from presenter Alec Baldwin.
"The years have been full of surprises for me and a lot of fun. Aren't we lucky to have found a line of work that doesn't require growing up?"
Van Dyke's career has spanned eight decades, starting with work as a disc jockey and a standup comic in the late '40s. He even worked as a national television morning-show host, with no less than Walter Cronkite serving as his news anchor.
But perhaps Van Dyke's most critical career break came in 1960, when director Gower Champion hired him as the male lead opposite Chita Rivera in the new Broadway-bound stage musical "Bye Bye Birdie."
Van Dyke had no professional dance experience, and out-of-town tryouts did not go well. Nevertheless, Champion refused to fire the actor, who would go on to New York with Rivera and win a Tony award for his performance.
About a year later, Van Dyke was starring in his own sitcom, in the role of TV comedy writer Rob Petrie on "The Dick Van Dyke Show." Three prime-time Emmys for Van Dyke and more than 50 years later, the series remains revered by many critics as one of the earliest models of great workplace comedy.
"'The 'Dick Van Dyke Show' was the most fun I ever had and the most creative period of my life," he said on the red carpet.
During the series' run, Van Dyke also enjoyed big-screen hits, including the 1963 "Birdie" movie and the 1964 all-star comedy, "What a Way to Go!" But biggest of all was "Mary Poppins," in which he introduced the Oscar-winning song "Chim Chim Cher-ee."
"I'm world-famous for my Cockney accent," Van Dyke kidded in his acceptance speech. He has said his British-born co-star, Julie Andrews, told him he never got the accent right.
Van Dyke also saluted the room full of actors who gave him a standing ovation.
"I'm looking at the greatest generation of actors in the history of acting. You've all lifted the art to another place now," he said. "Besides that you're everywhere. You're in Darfur, Somalia, Haiti. You're all over the place trying to do what's right.
"This very heavy object here means that I can refer to you as my peers. I'm a happy man, God bless."
Last year, Van Dyke presented the same lifetime achievement honor to his former TV co-star, Mary Tyler Moore.
These days, Van Dyke sings with his vocal group, The Vantasix, and enjoys life with his wife of one year, makeup artist Arlene Silver. The couple met seven years ago at the SAG Awards.
"They tell me you never work again once you get this award," Van Dyke said on the red carpet. "I'll have to let them know I'm available."


text: hi folks. i've removed the MKXORG variable from the build system. MKX11 once again controls building X11 or not, and a new X11FLAVOUR variable can be set to Xorg or XFree86 to pick which version to build. the default for X11FLAVOUR for the amd64, i386, macppc, shark, sparc & sparc64 platforms has been set to Xorg. all other platforms still use XFree86 for now. what does this mean for you? if you has set MKXORG=yes and MKX11=no to get native xorg up to now, you need to switch back to MKX11=yes. i plan to submit this for netbsd-5 shortly, switching the default X11 there for the above platforms as well. .mrg.

Every year there are always plenty of fresh predictions and industry trends brought forward and discussed. They make for interesting reading, and beg the question – are they really predictions or are we just susceptible to the power of suggestion?
Many predictions have solid backing, such as Gartner's Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends, announced at the Gartner Symposium / ITXpo. Gartner defines a strategic technology trend as one with the potential for significant impact on the organization, including a high potential for disruption to the business, end users, or IT; the need for a major investment; or the risk of being late to adopt. They look at trends that will impact an organization's long-term plans, programs, and initiatives.
For 2016, Gartner predicted the following trends:
- The Device Mesh
- Ambient User Experience
- 3D Printing Materials
- Information of Everything
- Advanced Machine Learning
- Autonomous Agents and Things
- Adaptive Security Architecture
- Mesh App and Service Architecture
- Internet of Things Platforms
In another set of predictions, No Jitter showcased the top four UC predictions for 2016. These included:
- UCaaS Headed Up-Market
- Hybrid Consumption Becomes Mainstream
- Contact-Center-as-a-Service Takes Off
- New Ways to Collaborate Emerge
What Do They Have In Common?
When we read some of the trends and predictions, they almost seem too good to be true. It would appear that technology is moving toward almost an AI state where we can rely on it for everything. Science fiction aside, the one constant we do see is how technology improves the lives of those in business, communities, government entities, law enforcement, and individually at home and school. What we see is that all these trends have a common thread, one that we believe is critical to consider with every innovation we create at NEC – effective communication, collaboration, and orchestration of lives using Smart Solutions to improve and enhance every aspect of our lives.
For example, when adding UC to Workforce Management, contact centers are even more empowered to provide excellent customer service. If you combine Unified Communications with SDN, you have a powerful system that not only ensures your employees are communicating in a more efficient manner, but the system is now able to align itself with any traffic, making disaster recovery or even challenging inclement weather much easier to overcome.
Biometrics is another solution that has so many applications to positively impact our lives. Whether it's the ability for law enforcement to rapidly and correctly identify a bad guy on the spot, or retail establishments to provide their customers with an amazing experience, biometrics will impact a multitude of industries, improving customer experiences and empowering the forward momentum of the Internet of Things.
Information is at an all-time premium, as businesses move toward more efficient and effective operations. When combining SDN with our server technology, our clients now can focus on their business needs and let the technology support the flow of data in an efficient manner to ensure constant access and improved uptime.
Of course, when you think about the Information of Everything, it is important to include data analytics as a foundational element. According to Gartner, by 2020, 25 billion devices will be generating data about almost every topic imaginable. There will be an abundance of data, but how do you make sense of it? Data analytics is no longer a single solution to consider, but a necessary component to capture data and provide appropriate information to create actionable results. Those companies that harness the power this data provides will have a competitive advantage.
Speaking of data, companies are not the only ones who have a significant need for big data, analytics, and positive user experiences. NEC focuses on various solutions, such as water leak detection systems; integration support for semantic interoperability into the NEC Internet of Things and Smart City Platforms; and integrated platforms for distribution of grid management, energy efficiency, distributed generation, and energy storage, just to name a few.
Just like Gartner and No Jitter, NEC invests significant effort and resources into research to ensure that solutions we develop will not only meet the needs of our clients today, but also their upcoming needs tomorrow. This serious focus on research and development has been part of the core philosophy of NEC since our inception. We believe that as recognized innovation leaders we can ensure our solutions truly meet the needs of our clients while continuing to keep pace with emerging trends and the expanding capabilities technology affords for the future.
Can you predict technology trends? We believe so—but only by keeping your finger on the pulse of business and societal needs. NEC's focus on solutions perfectly aligns with the trends we see, combining powerful technology to empower our clients and enhance their lives. Whether providing platforms for significantly improved communication, ensuring improved flow of information through powerful data analytics, or inventing new solutions for society that support a better life, NEC will continue to focus on improving our lives through technology.

More move in than out of NYC: First time in decades
For the first time in more than 60 years, more people moved into New York City than out last year, a turnaround that tracks changing attitudes about the biggest city in the U.S. and urban living more broadly, officials and researchers said Thursday.
The net influx—about 12,000 people—is a small piece of the city's overall growth to a record high population of more than 8.3 million, according to census estimates released Thursday. But the statistic helps encapsulate New York's rebound from a decline that began after World War II and hit a nadir in the 1970s here and in many other big American cities.
It "reverses a trend that has been a fact of life for decades and that a number of pundits have talked about when they predicted the end of New York City," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Thursday. "People vote with their feet. In the end, that's what really matters."
The city's population has grown by more than 161,500 people since 2010, the U.S. Census Bureau estimated.
Mostly, New York City's growth is due to a widening gap between the numbers of births and deaths as life expectancy increases, according to city planners' analysis of the census estimates. But an influx of foreign immigrants in the last two years also played a role by outdistancing the number of New Yorkers who left town.
The data released Thursday don't show where the immigrants are coming from, but other data provide some clues, said Joseph Salvo, the city's chief demographer.
The city's Asian population has increased by about 30 percent over the last decade, largely due to growth in its Chinese, Indian and Bangladeshi populations, city planners said. And the already large Hispanic population has grown by about 8 percent.
Brooklyn saw the biggest growth among the city's five boroughs, gaining more than 60,000 residents, as people flocked to a borough increasingly seen as having all the cachet of Manhattan—if not more—with less of the cost.
Bloomberg hailed the population rise as a measure of the city's quality of life, crediting factors he often cites as key accomplishments on his 11-year watch: crime rates at historic lows, rising life expectancy and a public school system that has seen an aggressive, if not uncontroversial, overhaul. Since he took control of schools in 2002, changes have included expanding charter schools and closing schools deemed to be failing.
The influx of new New Yorkers also reflects a larger narrative of cultural shifts and changing fortunes in some of the nation's big cities, says Robert E. Lang, an urban affairs professor at the University of Nevada-Las Vegas.
After growth spurts as soldiers returned from World War II, cities began losing residents in the 1950s as suburbs rose: newer, roomier, seen as having better schools—and havens for what became known as "white flight."
The trend hit a fever pitch in the 1970s, when New York and many other big cities saw their populations drop by 10 percent or more. New York became something of a symbol of urban dysfunction: a city that nearly went bankrupt, a place where trash piled up amid a garbage strike and a massive blackout struck as the Son of Sam serial killer was on the loose.
Local leadership and broader urban renewal efforts helped change that, but so did a movement in mindsets, Lang said.
"Generations change, and they change their views of where the good life is," he said. "New York is just the top of this whole change and is a dramatic example because of its size and importance as a city. But it's not alone."
Thursday's population estimates were for counties, not cities. But New York's boroughs are each counties of their own, so it could be measured—unlike, for instance, Los Angeles County, which includes the city of Los Angeles and other municipalities.
New York City challenged the official 2010 census count of its population at less than 8.2 million, saying it was too low. The Census Bureau ultimately said the number would stand.

With 2012 U.S. auto sales in the books, we're three days into a 2013 that doesn't look too bad. Virtually everybody is assuming continued sales growth, though a bit slower.
Savor that thought just a moment. We've had three straight years of double-digit gains. And over the long feast-or-famine history of this industry, that's rare.
Any growth we get this year ought to be duly appreciated.
But more importantly, let's realize that dealers are no longer selling to a crowd with ravenous appetites. It's a pretty normal marketplace these days, not driven by extraordinary events.
Which is to say, little things are more important. What will move the market this year? I see three things potential buyers might love, and three they'll probably hate.
What they'll love:
No. 3: Low-cost financing is widely available again. And it's likely to stay that way all year.
No. 2: There's a bunch of spiffy new products, especially fuel-efficient models. That includes nearly all mid-sized cars and the redesigned 2013 Ram and 2014 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra are about to shake up the big pickup segment.
No. 1: Swapping out their clunkers. Yep, our rides average 11 years on the road. Once a buyer finally decides to get a new one, new-car fever gets irresistible quickly.
And what they'll hate:
No. 3: The jobless recovery. That stubbornly high unemployment rate, still near 8 percent after all this time, makes buyers pause.
No. 2: Less cash to spend. No, not the high income-tax rates on those making more than $450,000, but the end of the two-year, 2 percent Social Security tax holiday. With FICA tax rates back to normal, a prospect earning $60,000 has $100 a month less take-home to plunk down on a new car.
No. 1: The never-ending drama that is our political system. Now, auto buyers have gotten pretty good at ignoring Congress lately. But averting the fiscal cliff Jan. 1 only to have Congress schedule two new fist fights in the next 60 days on budget cuts and the debt ceiling? That's downright wearing.

Once you follow a blog, all of its posts show up in your dashboard, just like you'd expect. See something great? Reblog it to your own blog. Add commentary if you like. Make it your own. Other people will do the same to your posts. That's how you meet people here.
Seven post types to get you started. Your brain can do the rest. This thing is yours. Use it however you like.
We lied. But now you understand this thing. So come on in.
