War between United, Southwest looms over Houston
Plan for Hobby global flights triggers clash between airlines
Updated 10:50 pm, Wednesday, April 4, 2012
A proposal by Southwest Airlines to offer international flights from Hobby Airport has triggered an intense lobbying duel with United Airlines, which still wields considerable local clout as the successor to Houston-based Continental.
If it gets city approval, Southwest says it would spend an estimated $75 million to $100 million to build a new international terminal equipped with full-scale Customs facilities, as well as to improve the aging airport's domestic terminals. Southwest flights would depart from the new terminal to destinations such as Cancun and the Caribbean.
But United has already broken ground on what may become another international terminal, a $700 million investment piled on top of an additional billion it has pumped into Bush Intercontinental Airport since the late 1990s.
United says this town isn't big enough for both projects.
While the city awaits two consultants' reports, expected next week, on the pros and cons of Hobby going international, both airlines have dispatched emissaries to City Hall. The outcome of their lobbying battle will determine whether Houston becomes the sixth among the nation's 10 largest cities to have two full-scale, international airports.
Mayor Annise Parker and the Houston Airport System director, Mario Diaz, have not publicly picked a side. They say only that they're obligated to listen to Southwest's pitch.
"The airport is not in the position of choosing winners and losers," Diaz said. "We're in a position of laying down a level playing field."
In letters to airport officials in the past week, United has argued that the deal would damage the economy by diluting international traffic at Bush - traffic United depends on to fill overseas flights, many of which originate elsewhere. Those flights create jobs and boost trade by making Houston accessible from spots across the globe, United said in a letter to Parker.
Increased competition
Southwest argues that its plan would create jobs and decrease airfares because United - which dominates local flights to Latin America - would face more competition.
"More passengers will fly to IAH because fares will be lower and that will stimulate demand at both airports," said Ron Ricks, executive vice president for Southwest.
United also fears that equipping Hobby with a full-scale Customs and Border Protection facility would force the federal government to split Customs officers between Hobby and Bush Intercontinental.
Brian Znotins, United's managing director of international planning, said fewer Customs officers would result in longer lines and longer layovers and eventually would prompt more international air travelers to book flights through another hub. Customs officers are scarce, Znotins said.
"To the extent we can get more officers from the federal government - or keep them - they're much better used at Bush Intercontinental than they are at Hobby," Znotins said.
Ricks called that argument the "biggest red herring I've heard in my 40-year career." The federal government has a duty to staff airports with an appropriate number of officers, he said.
Threats to leave
Diaz said the airport system would never let Customs staffing at Intercontinental diminish to the point where passengers would suffer.
If Diaz decides the Hobby plan is promising enough to forward to the City Council for a vote as early as May 9, he said he "could make a very, very good argument" for sending more Customs officers to Houston.
U.S. Customs and Border Patrol declined to comment on whether it would have to reassign officers to a new facility.
Both airlines are threatening to take their business elsewhere if they're on the losing end of what Parker called a "historic" decision that's affected by recent shakeups in the airline industry.
Southwest has never offered international flights, but last year it bought AirTran Airways, which does. Southwest wants to add Houston to its growing list of launching pads - for various reasons, including location and room for expansion - but it's not the only city on its list, Ricks said.
"Southwest Airlines is going to grow internationally, and this economic benefit will be conferred on some community in one way or another," Ricks said.
In addition to the policy questions, the Hobby debate is thick with politics.
Moved jobs to Chicago
United's arguments hint at a home-field advantage by virtue of its 2010 merger with Continental, the longtime Houston airline, and the 17,000 Houstonians it employs.
But United moved 1,500 corporate jobs from Houston to Chicago as part of the merger.
"They moved their headquarters from here to Chicago. I don't have any great love for that move," said Councilman Andrew Burks, who supports Southwest's proposal.
United may have bought good will more directly - with cash. It has the leverage of hundreds of millions of dollars on the line.
United has warned that the Hobby project would force the airline to reconsider its future infrastructure investment in Bush Intercontinental, including its decision to put its newer, bigger airplanes there.
The first phase of a renovation project at Terminal B that began early this year represents a $97 million investment by United. An additional $589 million could follow, "based on demand and economic conditions," according to a city document. If the economics don't work, United could pull the plug and invest its money - and create jobs - elsewhere.
United reminded Diaz in a letter last week of United and Continental's investments in Bush and said the merged company is proceeding with the Terminal B project based on the understanding that the system would "continue to develop IAH as its only international airport."
"Splitting international service between the two Houston airports would severely devalue that investment," the letter states.
Hired an insider
United is pressing its position through a messenger with deep ties to City Hall. It hired Marty Stein, Parker's former agenda director, last year and assigned her lobbying duties this year.
When Stein stepped down, she was hailed as a city hall legend. Parker said she had begged Stein to stay and told her, "There is a level of trust with you."
As soon as Stein's one-year prohibition on lobbying expired at the end of January, she was dispatched to visit her old colleagues. Southwest representatives are visiting City Hall as well.
Just hours after Parker and the United brass broke ground for the Terminal B project at Bush on Jan. 23, Southwest CEO Gary Kelly was in the mayor's office continuing his pitch to Parker for international flights out of Hobby.
City Council members, meanwhile, are lining up in ways that reflect loyalty to the neighborhoods they represent.
District E Councilman Mike Sullivan stands with United. He said the airline has told him that more of its employees live in his district than in any other.
Councilman James Rodriguez, whose District I includes Hobby, backs Southwest due to prospects for job creation in southeast Houston.
Councilman Jerry Davis, whose District B includes Bush Intercontinental, said, "I will not support any proposal that has the potential to adversely affect the businesses that operate at and around Intercontinental Airport."
Ricks describes Southwest's proposal as a "no-cost, no-risk" plan, given the airline's willingness to front the infrastructure costs and the likelihood of thousands of jobs and millions of dollars of economic impact.
"We have the financial strength that if the city of Houston wants to pursue this idea, then we can implement the idea without any cost to Houston taxpayers," said Ricks, the airline's chief legal and regulatory officer. "We at Southwest would take 100 percent of the risk for launching that service."
Feasibility study
Ricks predicted the feasibility studies will make the economic benefits of the project to the city clear. The small scale of the proposed Hobby operation - up to 25 daily flights from five gates - poses no threat to the international operation at Bush, which offers flights from 35 gates.
United is fond of calling Houston "the largest hub for the world's largest airline." And United has added the most markets to Bush among its eight hubs since the merger, including Chicago O'Hare, Znotins said.
United does not oppose Southwest starting international service out of Bush, where the airlines can share Customs agents and connection traffic, Znotins said. But for Southwest, flying out of Bush is a nonstarter because its base is at Hobby, an hour's drive south.
Diaz insisted that the city's decision will be made on an analysis of the pros and cons.
"This is a story about competition, not control and favoritism," Diaz said. "This story is about the rightful role of government working together at the federal and local level to provide the necessary services needed to grow the economy of this country and of this city."

He didn't stumble upon any magic elixirs or go to the Adrian Peterson school of miraculous rehabs, but Lions receiver Ryan Broyles did learn a secret from his first torn ACL that has made recovering from his second much easier — patience.
Broyles was a full participant in all three days of minicamp this week, six months and one week after undergoing surgery on his right knee.
Last spring, while recovering from the torn left ACL he suffered as a senior at Oklahoma, Broyles pushed his knee beyond its limits in rehab as he rushed to get ready for his pro day.
That decision paid off. He ran well enough and looked crisp enough in predraft workouts that the Lions took him in the second round.
But it came at an expense.
"Last year I kind of beat my knee up trying to get ready for the combine," Broyles said. "You've got to be smart about what you do and last year I had to hurry up before my quad was strong enough and before my hammy and my glut was strong enough, I was out there running so I could get ready for the pro day. I ran at the pro day 3½ months (after surgery). I didn't really start running here until about five months, so I think that extra month and a half really helped me out."
Slowly, Broyles has progressed from range-of-motion exercises to pool work to light running to practice.
He took part in just position drills at the start of organized team activities last month, and by the time minicamp opened this week he had convinced coaches he was ready for full team work.

Spicy Beef with Shrimp & Bok Choy 21 Oyster sauce and rice wine give this speedy stir-fry a rich flavor that balances the clean, sweet crunch of bok choy. Make It a Meal: Rice noodles or brown basmati rice and a Tsing Tao beer will make you feel like you're eating in your favorite Chinese restaurant.
Beef & Cabbage Stir-Fry with Peanut Sauce 16 The subtly sweet peanut sauce blends deliciously in this beef, cabbage and carrot sauté. Spice up the dish with a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce. Serve with udon noodles.
Korean Beef Stir-Fry 13 Inspired by the flavors found in Korean barbecue, this dish is a mouth-watering addition to any weeknight repertoire. A fruity Riesling and rice noodles are perfect accompaniments.
Orange-Scented Beef Stir-Fry 14 Orange marmalade is the secret ingredient in this quick stir-fry. For variations, substitute chicken, shrimp, pork or tofu for the beef; adjusting the cooking time accordingly.
Hoisin Beef & Edamame Noodles 10 Sweet hoisin sauce and tangy lime juice balance perfectly in this quick, colorful, Asian-inspired noodle dish. Make it a meal: Dress a cucumber salad with toasted sesame oil and lime juice and enjoy a cup of jasmine green tea.
Stir-Fried Chile Beef & Broccoli 7 This quick stir-fry features broccoli and flank steak in a flavorful sauce. This dish is typical of many traditional Chinese stir-fries--the sauce just clings to the beef and vegetables but is not enough to spoon over rice. Marinating beef is essential for ensuring the meat is flavorful. The meat does not marinate overnight, as in traditional Western recipes. The moment the beef is combined with the seasonings it is ready to be stir-fried.
Spicy Orange Beef & Broccoli Stir-Fry 7 Hints of orange and a touch of heat dress up a classic combination. Serve with rice.
Beef Chow Fun 5 Brown sugar added to black bean-garlic sauce is what gives this stir-fry its unmistakable Chinese takeout flavor. The recipe for beef chow fun works equally well with tofu for a vegetarian meal or boneless, skinless chicken breast. Serve with sliced cucumbers tossed with rice vinegar, sesame seeds and a pinch of salt.
Soy-Marinated Flank Steak with Soba Noodles 4 Flank steak takes on savory Asian flavors with this quick steak marinade recipe. We like buckwheat soba noodles for their nutty flavor but any noodle, such as rice noodles or spaghetti, works well too.
Broccoli, Mushroom & Beef Stir-Fry 2 This healthy beef and broccoli stir-fry recipe has a Korean-inspired gochujang sauce. Because stir-fries cook up quickly, have all the ingredients prepped and next to the stove before you turn on the heat. Serve over brown rice or rice noodles.
Seaweed & Tofu Soup 2 Korean meals always include soups--like this mild one based on vitamin-rich wakame seaweed, the same kind often used in miso soup.
Bell Pepper & Beef Curry 1 A combination of green beans, red bell peppers and sweet mango makes this beef curry recipe colorful. The heat and salt level can vary widely in red curry paste depending on the brand--taste as you go. Serve with noodles and a basil-and-jícama salad.
Thai Beef & Mango Fried Rice 1 In this healthy fried rice recipe, bell peppers, mango and basil are tossed with savory fish sauce and fresh basil for a delicious one-bowl dinner. If you don't have leftover cooked rice on hand, be sure to thoroughly cool your rice before adding it to the wok--if it's too warm, it creates too much steam and sticks to the wok. To quickly cool warm rice, spread out on a large baking sheet and refrigerate while you prep the rest of your ingredients, about 15 minutes.
Beef & Red Pepper Stir-Fry 1 This beef stir-fry recipe is loaded with plenty of vegetables--red bell pepper, bok choy and baby corn. But the secret to its great flavor is all in the sauce. Here, Shao Hsing rice wine and pungent oyster sauce give this simple beef-and-vegetable dish its amazing (and effortless) flavor.
Tangerine Bok Choy & Beef Stir-Fry Tangerine juice and savory oyster sauce are the foundation of the stir-fry sauce in this healthy recipe for Chinese orange beef. Don't skip the orange zest sprinkled over the stir-fry at the end--it delivers the biggest flavor punch. Serve over brown rice or quinoa.

I can semi-relate to the feeling.. You will find something, I know you will… just "keep on trucking" (: (and maybe get a new bike for the states, too?!)
October 20, 2011 at 5:15 pmTotally understand that feeling..I'm not a fan of transition stages of life, and that's what I recently went through.
Love the quotes, very encouraging, especially that Oswald Chambers one!
I know that God has some big plans for someone as sweet, beautiful and inspiring as you are. Hang in there 🙂
His timing is perfect.
October 20, 2011 at 5:24 pmI know the feeling. Aside from the "re-entry" feelings you have from returning from Europe (we actually had a BOOKLET on that from my study abroad), you want something to do! But something you love. I'm still looking for my path in life, and what I'm doing now isn't it.
But it keeps me busy right now! And gives me a little time to search for the right fit 🙂
I love this post. Not because you are sad and there are no rainbows, but because it is honest. Think of it this way… if you didn't feel a little saddened and frustrated, and didn't terribly miss some of the things you saw and did while you were in Europe, then you weren't also terribly happy when you were there. I think it is better to have passionate feelings than be mediocre about anything in life, because life is supposed to be great. Great by definition is not "extra good" but full. And you will always have a full and beautiful life wherever you are because you are great.
October 20, 2011 at 5:26 pmKeep your head up sunshine. Change is never easy. As a matter of fact I hate it. Once you get in a rhythm things will start feeling so much better. In the mean time bake something sweet and snack on that while creating something – best way to perk up 🙂 – sarah
October 20, 2011 at 5:28 pmWe have all been there! Every single one of us! Just keep your head up knowing nothing ever stays the same for long!
October 20, 2011 at 5:29 pmSarah, I really appreciate your honesty. 🙂 I personally can't imagine such a difficult transition. Not because you don't appreciate FL, but (as you said) because everything is changing.
I've actually been thinking of you lately. I'm about to start my pre-intership (my first REAL chance to start being a classroom teacher) and I often think of the amazing work you did with the kids at the edible schoolyard. I really admire the passion and energy you put into that!
So even though you're not feeling particularly inspired right now, just remember that you're still inspiring me! xo
October 20, 2011 at 5:33 pmthank you for those quotes of inspiration 🙂 def needed those today!
October 20, 2011 at 5:35 pmyou are definitely not alone in these feelings sgm. that top quote from pinterest has become sort of my personal mantra as of late.
ps: call me craycray, but i sort of assumed from your pinterest you were contemplating opening a wedding design business. since you have such an affinity for all things pretty in life, it made perfect sense to me.
whatever you do, i'm positive something amazing is heading your way.
October 20, 2011 at 5:55 pmI can completely relate – especially to that feeling in Europe of JUST LIVING being enough, because it is so wonderful.
It is so so hard to translate that in American culture. And it's probably hard to see JB going off to his new job while you are still trying to figure out what you want.
BUT it is only a transition, and it truly is a blessing, for you have the luxury of taking your time to find something that you truly love.
Take pleasure in the small things (maybe photography? your photos are always amazing) and recreate that Swiss life here…it won't be the same, but it will be newer, and it will be YOURS
October 20, 2011 at 6:03 pmtransitions are the pits. something wonderful will fall it to place for you, though i know how hard it can be to wait for that thing to materialize.
try to enjoy the little things, it is so hard not to get caught up uncertainty.
just keep focusing on the boxes and unpacking and little indulgences and delicious meals… and of course that husband-in-a-suit 🙂
give yourself a break and try to relax into this time that you can set up your new life. when the time is right, the right thing will fall into place! xo
i love that change quote.
speaks to me.
i need to change something. bc if i am doing the same thing in 10 years…god help the person sitting next to me!
thanks for posting!
October 20, 2011 at 6:08 pmyou'll figure it out, I believes its those kind of moments that make us figure out what we truly want to do. Love your new sidebar picture by the way!
xo emily
How could you not feel a little down? It's a tough jump to make. We made the move from NYC to small down Country NY, we were so excited. But then you settle and you think, what now? It's so quiet? It will get better, home is a beautiful thing too.
October 20, 2011 at 6:22 pmI'm definitely having one of those what-the-heck-am-I-doing-with-my-life moments over here. I have all these grand ideas in my head, but then reality sets in. And the thing I REALLY want to do is the hardest. Blergh!
I know good things are coming your way, and you'll find the perfect job 🙂
Ahhh…I do know what you mean girl. However – focus on what you love doing right now…go take pictures…blog a bit more – cook more & become the best wife you can. Something will come your way before you know it!
xoxo from Trinidad
You don't have to see rainbows everyday, just have faith that another one's coming soon. Love your blog, thanks for all the beautiful words. xo ~L
October 20, 2011 at 6:33 pmYou already have / will do so many more amazing things! (and find your place here in sleepy hollow) I love you to da moon!
xo, one of your biggest fans : )
Amen, Sarah! Transitioning is tough, and life changes are just that. I'll keep you in my prayers! One of my favorite quotes has always been, "When you've got nothing, God is doing something." It's true! Hang in there 🙂
October 20, 2011 at 8:40 pmoh pretty sarah. you are sweet and cute and just my favorite. we have all been there and i LOVE honest posts like this. i mean, how many times did i tell you while you were living in Switz i wanted to switch lives! Something so exciting about going on an adventure like yall did. but being back at home is a whole new, exciting adventure! and BONUS. we live closer now. yippppppppe!
October 20, 2011 at 8:56 pmFirstly just to say I'm loving your fab new profile pic which I just spotted – soooo cute. Thinking of you too and sending you lots of sparkle and virtual cheer. Totally agree – adjustments are so hard – but they are great opportunities to reflect on the good and great and find innovative ways to incorporate the things you cherish and want to keep in your life going forward wherever you are. A fresh slate feeling has it's virtues too ;-))! Plus remember if anyone can encapsulate 'happily ever after' its you and JB! Europe is always just across the ocean waiting for you both for more adventures xx
October 20, 2011 at 9:10 pmI'm right there with you in that I don't like the transitional process of change and the feelings of being unsettled that come with them. I was so glad when my husband got a new job in August that he could work from home for a while so that he didn't have to become a 9-5er and be out of the house all day all at the same time. His move into the office is pending and I don't look forward to those days when the house will feel empty without my man around to bring coffee and breakfast to in the morning. I have found peace in this and hope you can too, "Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes." His plan is always perfect.
October 20, 2011 at 9:33 pmI am in your same shoes!!!! After graduating in June, being in France for a month, I am now in the process for searching for jobs and it isn't a snap the finger kind of thing. It takes time and I have to remind myself all the time. You are talented, beautiful, witty, and the right thing will come along … I know it!! Keep that head up!! XO!
October 20, 2011 at 9:36 pmHang in there ;). I'm sure it is rough to transition from just experience constant amazing-ness in Europe…to here…where sometime's it's a bit harder to find and requires more traveling. I also had a VERY hard time transitioning to working full time after law school. Being a grown up is hard and boring. But you'll start finding the beauty in your new life and ways to have fun adventures here.
October 20, 2011 at 10:07 pmKeep your head up! This time only exists so you can appreciate the better times 🙂
October 20, 2011 at 10:13 pmyou can come back anytime and visit england. 🙂 i can imagine the post-europe blues… im sure you'll grace them much better than i could.
chin up, dear. you may not have switzerland, but you still have legs that won't quit.
October 20, 2011 at 10:28 pmAww Sarah. I can imagine how hard that must be for you, especially while everything is so fresh. But I know you'll settle back into a routine and, in time, your life here in the U.S. will start to feel normal again.
I am in a weird, awkward transition period, myself… and have been longer than I care to admit. It can be very depressing at times, not knowing where you belong or what you should be doing or what you've even DONE. But you (we!) are still young and can reinvent ourselves. That's what life is all about. But you've had some amazing, amazing experiences and they will always be a part of who you are. 🙂
October 20, 2011 at 10:49 pmthe quote about being afraid of change gave me chills! i am the same way…i can totally relate.
October 20, 2011 at 11:15 pmAugh–transition. I don't mind the thought or the packing, or the weeks after change has occurred–but it is that middle time. I am with you on that one. It is SO hard. Hang in there–love these quotes and I completely agree with them. In these times, i like to try to stay "vertical" keeping my eyes on God and letting Him show me the path. 🙂
October 21, 2011 at 3:53 amI've been in transition for two years, it's the worst. We just have to keep on working towards where we want to be, keep on planning, keep on smiling, and keep on loving. Bon weekend sweet girl xo
October 21, 2011 at 5:12 amSarah, god bless you!
I have been there and got the t-shirt! I lost my job about 18months ago and I found it so hard to accept the change and deal with it.
It is hard to deal with the change when there are so many questions and not enough answers. But everything will settle down and before you know it you will be exactly where you want to be.
Just remember when a door closes a window opens. And things have a real habit to sort themselves out.
I know that probably isn't that helpful but you have achieved a lot and done a lot of good even if you can't see it.
October 21, 2011 at 9:46 amoh boy do I relate to this… but for the opposite reason.. now I'm trying to get used to life in Europe, sometimes longing for it to be time to return home and buy a house, make babies, etc… Trying so hard to embrace this change, embrace the amazing opportunity that it is and make Amsterdam home for a bit.
I can only imagine how strange it is to be back home after your amazing adventures, but take it from me, there is no place like home 🙂 Maybe somedays we can trade places and pretend that you are back in Europe and I am back home? 🙂 Hang in there, your feelings are all justified and I am sure you will be feeling back to normal very, very soon.
October 21, 2011 at 10:28 amOh girl, I totally understand the feeling. And I knew, when I moved back from Germany, I was going to be in a place for 8 months and then move again…so good luck job.
My struggle (struggles) seems to constantly bring me back to a place of asking: where does my identity lie? And while I feel I have God-given strengths and skills, who I am is a women is what God speaks so beautifully about. Not whether or not I have a job–even one I like–or whether or not I know where or what I'm suppose to be doing. But what I love, is that it's pushed me to expect a lot out of my day to day life–to try and see the amazing in the ordinary. Like you do so beautiful when you describe something as similar as saying goodbye to your hubs in the morning!
Change is hard. And change sucks. And I am not a fan. But, in my opinion, I think you're handling this REALLY well. Like really well. Because when change comes around in Amanda's world. I cry. EVERY dang DAY! And then after about two weeks (or a month), I start feeling normal again and find purpose in something. You'll get there I promise! 🙂 The blessing in all of this is that you can discover what you REALLY WANT, which is pretty awesome.
October 21, 2011 at 5:25 pmThis post sounds all too familiar. I graduated college a year ago and have yet to find a job. I went on a job interview I really saw myself loving, and found out yesterday they offered the position to another applicant. I feel so disappointed. Patience is something I am working on, oh, but it is such a hard quality to obtain. Thank you for your wise words, they inspire me. There is a plan for you, and for me 🙂
October 22, 2011 at 2:01 pmI have been feeling the exact same way these days and these quotes rang so true for me…love quotes! Love your honest too…I've been trying to do the same on my blog…not that I'm not myself on it, I am, just opening up a bit more too! Sending a few extra smiles your way! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Liesl 🙂
October 22, 2011 at 9:11 pmAlthough this is not a fun place to be in it's great to hear I'm not the only one going through this "transition"
Hope you find what your looking for!
xo gracie
October 24, 2011 at 9:13 pmI feel like you wrote exactly what is going on in my head. My husband and I just moved from Atlanta to California and I basically suck at change. it's no fun going through this, but blogging sure does help 🙂

If you are would like to learn more on how to develop on NetBeans with using a MySQL Server and how to create web apps that use MySQL as a backend, take a look at these two tutorials:
Over on the Novell Cool Solutions pages (which are powered by Drupal, by the way), I found this introduction on how to set up MySQL replication by Damian Myerscough. It walks you through the steps involved in setting up a classical master-slave replication setup.
This article describes how to install the Drupal 6.2 CMS on MySQL 6.0, using the Falcon Storage Engine. The operating system is a default Ubuntu 8.04 "Hardy Heron" (x86) installation.
I will make a few assumptions here, in order to keep the instructions simple: a fresh OS install, no other MySQL databases or web services are running or have already been installed. Both MySQL and the web server are installed on the same host. You should be able to become root to install packages and to have access to the local file system and the system configuration.
This article will explain how to install and configure Apache/PHP, MySQL 6.0 and Drupal 6.2.
While being subscribed to the full blogs.sun.com feed certainly feels like drinking water from a firehose, every once in a while I stumble over very well-written and useful articles about MySQL. Below is a collection of helpful posts, especially if you run MySQL on Solaris (surprise!). And while I still am an avid Linux user, I must admit that Solaris has a few neat features - particularly DTrace and ZFS are quite intriguing. If only userland would not feel so weird for someone coming from a GNU/Linux background!

From Krish Shankar's Blog:
More to come in the near future!
When it comes to handling my work-related email, many people will probably conclude that I am an old fart in Linux terms: I still use the console-based Pine as my MUA of choice, as my fingers have been hardcoded to its key combinations over the years (my first encounter with Pine was around 1994 on a shared DEC Ultrix box in my university). So far, I have not found any other application that allows me to process email as quickly as by using this tool.
I admit that I do use Thunderbird for my personal email, though, to gather experience with it (and to toy around with the various extensions, especially Nostalgy is a gift from heaven for people like me!). And of course because the mail volume there is less critical to cope with! But I am not going to start a holy war here - this article is supposed to explain how I have configured my mail setup to rotate the log files that keep track of all my incoming mails.
We have just published an interview with our CEO Mårten Mickos on our Developer Zone, where he answers a number of questions from the Community Team about Sun's plans to acquire MySQL AB and what this means for the MySQL User Community and the direction of the product (thanks to Colin for compiling and editing the text). I hope that the comments help to calm the concerns of some people about the future of MySQL with regards to Open Source, support of platforms or language bindings:
CT: Is MySQL fully committed to free and open source software, and the GPL? Mårten: Yes. CT: What does the Sun acquisition mean for Linux support? What about Windows, Mac OS/X and other platforms? Mårten: One of the reasons for us to be interested to discuss an acquisition with Sun was their new strategy to work with technologies and companies that previously had been seen as competitors. Our mandate within Sun is to grow our database business - on all operating systems and with all development and scripting languages and on all hardware platforms. Linux remains the most important operating system for our business. Windows remains the top operating system among our downloads. Mac OS X is a vital platform and many of our own engineers use Mac notebooks. CT: Will all the language bindings still be supported? i.e Will PHP, Perl, Ruby, etc. be treated as well as Java? Mårten: Absolutely. See my previous answer. Our goal and mandate is to grow our business on all fronts.
I personally am very excited about this change and expect many good things to come out of it. Sun is really trying hard to "not screw this up" (quoting Jonathan Schwartz).
UPDATE: I just stumbled over another article about this topic, which I also consider recommended reading: Mårten Mickos: Why Did I Change My Mind?:
I may sound naively excited about Sun in my writing here, and perhaps I am. Perhaps I drank the Kool-Aid along with the traditional Swedish vodka shot when we closed the deal. But in my life and my professional career so far, I have never regretted using my gut instinct to choose between two rational alternatives.
While helping a user with some questions about the geospatial extensions of MySQL on the #mysql-dev IRC channel on Freenode, I stumbled over this blog: How to use MySQL Spatial Extensions. There currently is just one post, but it was exactly what we were looking for: "Using Circular Area Selection". Nice work! I hope the author will soon provide more examples of how to make use of this functionality.
By the way, there is work in progress to improve the GIS functionality in MySQL - if you are looking for new GIS functions that do not use MBRs, take a look at our GIS feature preview on the MySQL Forge. We plan to publish a new set of preview binaries once the 5.1.23 release has been published and merged into this code base.
to connect to a MySQL Server.
Update: Thanks to Guillermo Roditi for pointing out that both links pointed to the same article - now fixed. Sorry about that.

ChipWorks and iFixit are hardcore when it comes to breaking open our favorite devices to see what is inside. The two websites decided to take it up a notch today by joining forces to publish a live teardown of the non-LTE Samsung Galaxy SIII. ChipWorks looked at the—you guessed—chips, while iFixit focused on repair aspects.
This is what the ChipWorks dissection unearthed:
Yep, that is Samsung's Exynos 4412, 32 nm CMOS, 1.4 GHz quad core ARM processor.
"The Exynos is in a standard PoP (Package-on-Package) assembly with a Samsung LP DDR2 Green Memory K3PE7E700M-XGC2," explained ChipWorks. "It is notable that this is the same process generation as we documented in the Apple A5 rev 2, APL2498, also fabricated by Samsung and for which you can see the general structure."
The device also features the Sony IMX145 is an 8-megapixel, 1.4 um pixel pitch, back illuminated CMOS image sensor. Sony designs and manufactures this image sensor, which the Apple iPhone 4S also boasts. Samsung provides its own storage, however, with the KMVTU000LM. According to ChipWorks, it is a multi-chip Samsung MOVI N and memory module.
A few other chips worth mentioning:
-Wolfson WM1811AE Audio Codec -Maxim Max77686 Power Management IC -Maxim Max 77693 is a multifunctional device including PMIC, MUIC, flash LED control -Audience 350B voice processor -Silicon Image Inc 92240Bo RF Transmitter -STMicroelectronics STD03 AMOLED Display Driver

ARLINGTON (AP) – Mitch Moreland tried to play through pain in his left ankle because Prince Fielder and about a dozen other Texas teammates had been sidelined by a dizzying array of injuries.
Fielder's replacement at first base just couldn't do it anymore.
Moreland will miss about three months for surgery on an ankle that's been bothering him all season. The timing could mean that he's finished for the year, just as Fielder is after neck surgery late last month.
"I felt like I was obligated to the team to go out there and give it what I had," Moreland said Sunday. "I felt like I did that for the most part until it came to a point where I can't do it."
The 28-year-old Moreland had two injections to ease the pain, and he said the most recent shot lasted about five days. He finally went to manager Ron Washington to say the pain was just too strong.
"It's to the point where I'm hurting the team, hurting myself trying to go out there and make something happen," said Moreland, who knew surgery was coming but wanted to wait until the offseason. "It's hurting pretty bad."
The Rangers, who didn't plan an immediate roster move Sunday, lead the majors in both disabled list uses with 18 and current players on the DL at 12. Moreland will become the 13th once they decide what to do about first base. Utilityman Donnie Murphy started Sunday against Cleveland.
"It's hard to put your finger on it," general manager Jon Daniels said. "It's been a little bit everything — ankles, backs, necks, elbows, legs, shin bones. We haven't been able to connect the dots."
Fielder, acquired in an offseason trade that sent popular second baseman Ian Kinsler to Detroit, was supposed to restore some power to an offense that dipped significantly in 2013.
But Fielder hit just three home runs in 150 at-bats before acknowledging that he was dealing with neck pain that even went back to last season. He had surgery to fuse two disks in his neck.
Moreland had a career-high 23 homers last year while hitting just .232. But he has gone deep just twice in 167 at-bats this year and is hitting .246.
"He's done everything he could have done," Daniels said. "He's fought through it, but it's become apparent it's limiting him."
Catcher Chris Gimenez, who has given the Rangers a surprising boost with his bat, has limited experience at first base in the majors and could be an option when the Rangers make a move, likely later Sunday or Monday.
Another possibility is Jim Adduci, who played first early in the season but has been out since April with a broken finger on his left hand. He was close to returning when he injured the same finger during a minor league rehab assignment Saturday.
"We're just going to have to go with what we've got," Washington said. "I'm just trying to make the guys I do have believe they can and just go to war. That's it."

Japan's Omocoro performed an unusual experiment in Shibuya recently which attempted to discover whether it was possible to track Twitter users down in real life just by using their Twitter feeds.
The writer, called Sebuyama, set about tracking down three targets in the Shibuya area and chronicled his investigation.
Shibuya is one of Japan's busiest districts. Its famous crossing, the Shibuya sprawl, is said to have over 45,000 people crossing it every 30 minutes. It is one of the most 'checked in' locations in the world.
It is also densely packed, with hundreds of shops and restaurants, making it a prime location for tracking down some avid Twitter users.
First, Sebuyama filtered results by looking for people tweeting that they were "now in Shibuya." He apparently found around 30 tweets within a minute, and from this list he picked out three victims to hunt down.
Many Japanese Twitter users do not use real pictures of themselves, which helped narrow down his chosen three, but he also looked at physical descriptions used on their Twitter profiles.
Perhaps most frightening, he was able to follow these users from tweets about where they were shopping, pictures of their lunch and comments on purchases. Although he lost the first target because she moved around too much, he was able to track the other two down pretty easily.
Understandably the two Twitter victims were surprised and shocked to have a random stranger find them, identify them by their Twitter user name and even tell them what they had just eaten for lunch.
The experiment serves up an eerie lesson about posting personal information on Twitter, but the column has also spread through Japan's social networks, with many commenting on how "scary" it is.
Sebuyama has achieved his goal with this experiment, proving effectively that we just don't think about the information we're putting online.
He made sure to punctuate the end of his column with photos of himself sitting in a darkened room with his laptop, ominously holding a knife.
The imagery is on the money.
We should be scared at how easy it is to track people down. Not everyone openly shares personal information on Twitter, but even those who don't might also be using Foursquare or Facebook to talk about their daily activities.
It would be interesting to see how well such an experiment would work in other major cities, like London or New York.
I'm not sure whether or not the kind of personal information shared by Japanese users on Twitter is more open than their western counterparts. Either way, I think we'd be surprised by how easy to catch we all are.

This is the draft of our recent paper on the phonon analysis of nanotubes which is accpeted for publication by JMPS. The title and abstract are:
Title: Symmetry-Adapted Phonon Analysis of Nanotubes
Amin Aghaei, Kaushik Dayal (Civil and Environmental Engineering, Carnegie Mellon University)
Ryan Elliott (Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics, University of Minnesota)
How does one calculate the phonon dispersion relations from the output of a molecular dynamics simuation?
I have successfully calculated the complete phonon density of states using a fourier transform of the velocity autocorrelation function, but I am still confused as to how to calculate the particular phonon dispersion curves.
Thank you.

Spot or Expoy Weld Wiper Blade Arm?
sorry if this is a post that may have been done already but i just couldnt find any post with what im looking for. looked and searched the net trying to find an answer to my problem. so here is what is going on.. the motor crank arm that attaches to the linkage for the wiper arm. i attached a couple pics as to what it looks like just sitting in the hole of the crank arm and one where its detached. since there is alot of tension im not sure if theres any kind of epoxy weld that will hold the 2 pieces together when the motor cranks that arm to the linkage. sorry if i sound like an idiot but i cant figure out anything else besides spot welding as that will be the best option. still askin around for an arc welder or something lol. just for now i do want to drive and not be stuck every time it rains. here in California it rains ALOT.
http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...W/CIMG1957.jpg http://i101.photobucket.com/albums/m...W/CIMG1961.jpg any advice or tips is greatly appreciated :) |
Too bad you aren't closer to San Bernardino, or I'd weld it up for free for a fellow Bimmer owner. :(
i forgot to delete this profile lol. i am on another site. i was waiting some time before getting a response searching for answers till i got lucky at pick n pull from a junker of the same car yet automatic so i pulled out the whole wiper assembly and got working wipers. the other set i still have. i first took the linkage out and drilled a hole so i can fit a screw and a washer to it and worked for a little. didnt really trust it cause i didnt have any locktite to use for the threads so it stays for good. i have it in my trunk as a backup/spare now. you can find me on another bimmer forum. this one isnt very active at all. just the day before i made one post about another issue im having right now with getting the car running after changing the spark plugs. i now need to make the timing adjustment in the distributor in hopes i can get it running before my doc appointment coming up. i have been on and off due to an internal injury. so even tightening anything puts pressure and hurts me. i have to now try n learn to try and figure out whats meant by putting it in gear and rocking it back and forth to find the pin for the adjustment. if curious its bimmerforums and i use the same name as here. kind of ****ty that this is my only and first car ive had for a year now and keep having all these issues with no money to spare for it :/ now rocking the car? HA! ya id need help on that. with my injury i aint supposed to lift a damn thing. guess ill have to see how far i can get and what other trouble comes next. thnx for the reply still.
Yeah, that sucks man. Well glad you came to the "other" forum as well. :D We're happy to have ya.
Yeah the linkages can suck, but it's good you scored with pick n pull. If you find any other good parts of those E21s, you can sometimes sell them on these forums for a little extra dough. Front valences are worth bank if uncracked. So are uncracked dashes (non A/C). Yeah, that is used to get top dead center, but you can ALSO put a large socket on a socket wrench and turn the crank pulley nut, too. If you have a socket set, that is. Just make sure the car is in neutral with the E-brake on if you use that method. I included a picture below. These cars really are a blast, and if you stick with it, it will be worth it, I promise! They're some of the easiest cars to work on, but when you are under pressure and not feeling good, no car is fun to work on. :( I do hope you get better soon! http://www.ebbsnflows.cz28.com/images/udpulley02.jpg |
thanks man and this is a free account so it doesnt allow me to see pics n links etc.. says remote linking is forbidden please upgrade your account. ya i always have it parked as neutral with the handbrake. i have snagged like 5 relays though since they wanted 50 a piece. so i havnt replaced any relays yet. i will try that way u were talking about TDC. i have a socket set and still working up the tools for this car but im unsure how big it is till i take a gander at it to see if i have a big enough one. in american cars there a pain in the arse and need a huge socket for those, even to pull anything else out. this car though i was able to get the alternator in and out with no problems and the belt perfectly fit again. alternator was tested and passed all test from autozone. been goin there a bit for certain things as its close by and sometimes they give me a good deal. i only had so much on me and dude gave me a 5 off on it. and yes i have had much enjoyment on working with this car. i had at one time learning american engines from a friend at the time who would buy cars from auctions n fix them up n sell them. i had helped n learn to rebuild one and doing complete tear downs for scrapping the metal and anything else. he had me doing it all so i would learn n know. was easy for someone to be there instructing but as i said german compared to american is wayyy different. and i like the german motors better. easier to get to and work on. but its all a new ball game really on these and never had worked on manual transmission either.
hahaha link shown up in email so was able to see the pic. awesome!! thanks. pics always seem to help to compare.

I'm almost hesitant to write this because I don't want my favorite restaurant taken over. I try to come out to Saffron once a week. I am definitely hooked on this spicy Indian restaurant. I would recommend getting take-out over sitting down, they do have a seating area but it's a little awkward. Anyways, the food! This is the perfect fusion of authentic Indian food and spices. My husband loves the chicken tikka masala but I actually prefer the vegetarian paneers more (and I even eat meat).
Eating & Drinking
I only eat sushi when I'm out visiting the 'burbs. As much as I love the stuff I can't deal with big city prices. I have to have soup and salad. Sushi Ya provides you with complimentary edamame and delicious miso soup. In the city – where they'd definitely charge you – that's like an additional ten bucks at least! They have a very nice selection of traditional rolls and sashimi. They even have a "Schaumburg Roll" that's pretty good as well. Located in a strip mall, wedged between storefronts.
Came here once to see comedian Russel Peter with friends. The club itself is actually quite beautiful, very clean and spacious. Anyways, there's a "two item minimum rule" which requires you to purchase at least one food item or one drink item for the night. I get it, it takes a lot of money to keep the club so nice. I wouldn't have had a problem ordering food if the service hadn't been so horrible though. Our server was completely aloof and took forever. The food's standard bar food.

I had a very unusual cat for about 10 years. A bobtailed Manx. He was very large, wide, and muscular with long hind legs and short front legs and long tips on his ears. He was a bluish-gray color. He had the largest and widest head of any cat I've ever seen. He acted like a very territorial dog. One summer day my wife and I were sitting on the front porch eating ice cream and he was sitting there hanging out with us and started shaking and growling because people were walking down the street past our house. I believe he hated every other living thing in the world and only tolerated us because we fed him. He would let you rub his head sometimes, and occasionally might sit on the couch beside you, but never on your lap and never try to pick him up. I saw that cat tear up a large german shepherd in our yard...that dog's head looked like it got attacked by a weed eater. The cat leaped from the deck and attached itself to that dog's head like the Tasmanian devil...nothing but pee, fur, and blood flying in a raging tornado of terror on that dog's head. The neighbor came over later and wanted to see the lion that ran his dog back across the field. I saw him take a possum out once too...and snatched a bat out of the air mid flight. We boarded that cat one Christmas while we travelled out of town. Picked him up at the vets office when we returned and the poor girl in there looked like she had been through a briar patch. She said, "We recommend you not bring him back here...ever...for anything. He's a lot more agile and quick than you would anticipate given his size. He scaled a finished sheetrock wall, pushed up the ceiling tile, and went down the other side. When we finally cornered him, he drew blood on three of us before we could get him in a cage." We had to find a new vet because they were all terrified of him. He went out in the mornings and came in at night. He slept in a breezeway between the house and garage. If we had company, he would stay gone until they left just appearing early in the morning for food. He got hit by a car and that did him in...I always wondered how much damage it did to the car though.

I have a Mainecoon and a domesstic short hair/siamese mix. The Mainecoon is dumb as rocks but HUGE and lovable. he is 20 lbs now and that is not all fat. Great kitties to have around the house if you can find one.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?
And I said, Here am I. Send me!
Isaiah 6:8
My daughter had a Mainecoon for several years. She was a very small cat and great with kids. She let her carry her around, slept in the bed with her, just very easy going. She was obsessed with water. Loved to watch it and play in it. She disappeared shortly after we moved to Florida. Between the gators, coyotes, owls, eagles, osprey, etc. if you have a cat in Florida you better keep it in the house or inside of a screened in lanai.

I've had a few cats, I used to hate them like all macho males, but after my first divorce my daughter who came to live with me, wanted one so I gave in. She brought home this little kitten and one night after work (2nd shift) I kicked off my shoes, grabbed a beer and sat down to read the paper. This kitten tried it's darndest to climb up my pants leg and I kept taking her off. Finally she gave up and laid across my feet and started purring....... I was hooked.
I've always admired the Maine Coon but never had one, the closest to that was a big orange long hair Tabby that adopted us. He was a loveable cat but he was an outdoors cat and roamed the mountain side where we lived for days without coming home. I named him T.C. for Top Cat after a cartoon cat. Just about the time I'd start worrying about him he come up the driveway making this chirping sound, jump up in my lap and want his belly rubbed.
We don't have any more animals although we both like them, we can't give them the proper attention they need because we travel a lot, plus my GF has asthma and can't handle the shedding.
Those kittens have the sweetest faces.
We don't have cats because my husband is very allergic to them. He gets welts on his face and his eyes swell shut.
My sister used to have a huge male cat named Kimba. He didn't have a tail but I don't know if it was officially a Maine Coon or mixed breed. Anyway, he weighed about 28 pounds and was strong as an Ox, but laid back and nice. He could sit on the patio of my sister's apartment and jump straight up to the second floor neighbor's balcony. He was like Superman.
Heaven goes by favor. If it went by merit, you would stay out and your dog would go in.- Mark Twain
I showed this to the cat who adopted us last October. Kitty (what I named her, I don't know who she owned before showing up at the Jo Jo residence) was not amused.
She also said the whacker needed to be wrapped in Duct Tape and not Electrical. That is not the "redneck" way. I think she's on to something and may be planning some revenge. I'll keep my eye open.

That made me LOL. That first calico that got away reminded me of the last one I had 25 years ago. I never knew that calicoes AKA money cats are always female until I got her. No more now that the Mr. is allergic.

OTTAWA, Jan. 11, 2013 /CNW/ - The deadline to participate in the Canada Post design competition for the 2013 Community Foundation stamp has been extended. Children 15 years old and under are invited to submit their original artwork at canadapost.ca/stampcompetition. Submissions of stamp designs will be accepted online until midnight on February 1, 2013 (EST).
The competition invites young artists to submit designs that capture the issues faced by children and youth in Canada, and that reflect the diversity of Canadian youth, their creativity and their hopes for the future. Ultimately, designs should inspire Canadians to purchase a Community Foundation stamp and make a donation to support children's charities across Canada.
Parents, teachers and caregivers who want to teach an important lesson on community spirit, nurture a child's creativity and have them potentially win a $2,000 Registered Education Savings Plan, should visit canadapost.ca/stampcompetition for full rules and regulations.
The Canada Post Community Foundation's vision is to help ensure every child in Canada is happy, healthy and part of a community that supports and cares for them. Its mission is to have a positive effect in the lives of children in the communities Canada Post serves by supporting registered charities, school programs or local initiatives that benefit children. To learn more about the Foundation, visit canadapost.ca/community.

A person's comment:
"That's her there! Her hubby's inside!"
"How can she stand by him?" a neighbor cried!
"I'd throw away the lock and key!"'
"That husband of hers should never be free!"
"That woman can do so much better than him!"
"I'd throw all his letters away in the bin!"
"Just what can he offer now that he's locked away?"
"A complete waste of space!" she shouted that day.
"That's the one there! Her boyfriend's inside!"
"He's scum of the earth!" a neighbor implied!
"If I were her, well I'd meet someone else!
"Not wasting my life to be left on the shelf!"
"That woman's been left to cope with the shame."
"It was all over the papers! And gave out his name."
"He's useless! A criminal! Bring back the rope!"
"He'll do it again! For him there's no hope!"
My comment:
That man you condemn has a child and a wife
A mum and a dad who have given him life!
What would you do if this happened to yours?
Deny all your love and close all the doors?
Do you honestly think I'd sink to a level
And just turn my back and deem him a devil?
Yes! He's done wrong and is serving his time
And no, I do not agree with his crime.
"That woman" you point at, yes it is me.
I was born with a name, as I'm human you see!
I'm innocent, just in case you forgot
And love him whether you like it or not!
I've had the abuse, the comments and more.
It's nothing I haven't heard all before.
I mean no offense when I say this to you
I'm a victim as well, a forgotten one too.
Husband In Prison
I was 7 or 8 when my dad went to prison, and now I'm 12. He's still in prison and I don't see him that often, but when I do, time goes too quick. I always wonder what would have happened if...

Frankie Morello A/W11
Mad Men crazy and generally inspired by the 50s, the design duo showed mannish tailoring, skinny ties and Rockabilly tattoo motifs on wool pieces
- PhotographyMorgan O'Donovan
- TextKasia Bobula
Frankie Morello are renowned for their penchant for pop culture and for autumn winter 2011, the Italian duo revisited one of their favourite tv series – Mad Men. "We imagined a woman in a beauty salon in the 1950s" they explained after the show. And if it wasn't for the contemporary fabrics such lurex and patent leather, the clothes certainly wouldn't look out of place in those times. The show opened with bright puffball skirts and cropped baseball jackets, many of which came in shades of black, yellow or red.
What followed later was yet a different take on the 50s subcultures, with mannish tailoring and skinny ties fit for a contemporary mod. Rockabilly tattoo motifs added quirkiness to the collection's chiffons and wools, but it wasn't until the finale that the beauty salon inspiration really became evident. A series of pieces adorned with hair clips re-affirmed that it's humour and narrative that really inspire Morello's fashion.
Dazed Digital: What started off the collection?
Frankie Morello: The collection tells the story of a beauty salon, where women go to get pampered. Just like Betty Draper in Mad Men. We are really influenced by the 50s silhouettes – all those full skirts and little jackets!
DD: There was a lot of tattoo embroidery in the show…
Frankie Morello: Well, the tattoos are very much part of that era, so we decided to use them as embroidery on the wools and chiffons. The whole collection is a playful take on the 50s and there's a lot of irony to the tattoos too…
DD: What are you favourite pieces from the collection?
Frankie Morello: The wool coats and the hair clip pieces.

Rousseau Chambertin Clos de Beze Grand Cru 2013
See all items by: RousseauSubtle if not invisible wood serves as a backdrop for the mildly reduced nose so again do yourself a favor and decant this if you're going to crack one before 2020 or so. There is knock-out intensity to the gorgeously textured and mineral-inflected flavors that are imposingly scaled yet there is not even a hint of heaviness on the restrained, delineated and explosively long and mouth coating finale. This is a breathtakingly robust and powerful Bèze that is going to require all of 20 years to reach it zenith. Score: 95 Points; Tasted: Jan 2016; Drink: 2033+; Issue: 61; Allen Meadows - burghound.com
The 2013 Chambertin Clos de Bèze Grand Cru has a more complex, nuanced bouquet than the Clos Saint Jacques and this year, it insists upon putting distance between the two. It has an effortless quality, unfurling with each swirl dark berried fruit, subtle moss/undergrowth tones that are almost autumnal. The palate is tensile, intense, focused and underpinned by filigree tannins that lend it magnificent sophistication. This is utterly harmonious and an outstanding wine for the vintage. Score: 95-97 Points; Tasted: Dec 2014; Drink: 2018-2040; Issue: 216; Neal Martin - eRobertParker.com

/// YouTube: Now for Political Junkies
With digital video faster, cheaper and slicker than ever before, all kinds of media outlets, even YouTube, once best known for homemade cat videos , are upgrading their election coverage. On YouTube's recently launched Politics channel , users can view content from eight major media partners, including ABC News and The New York Times . But results have been hit or miss. YouTube pundit Philip DeFranco's channel often sees tens of thousands of views, while BuzzFeed, the Times and ABC News sometimes garner no more than a few hundred. "Basically, [YouTube] is not driving any views at all," said a staffer from one of the Politics channel partners. "The real problem is that [YouTube] has no editorial sensibility at all. It's a bureaucracy. They need the minutes; they don't care about content." Digital video analysts pointed out that YouTube is still in an experimental stage as it curates content that's produced on a daily, even hourly basis

May 15, 2013 -
Cisco has just published a new Customer Experience Report, which indicates that many drivers are warming up to the use of biometric systems in their cars.
Specifically, the report indicates that 60% of consumers are willing to provide biometric information in return for personalized car security or car security.
This latest Cisco study surveyed more than 1,500 consumers across 10 countries and examined consumer preferences of technology used when buying and driving a car. According to the company, consumers are eager to see more transportation changes in terms of customization, safety, time and cost savings.
I've been saying for quite some time now that biometrics could greatly improve the automotive experience and it's good to see that the market is beginning to understand the value biometrics could bring to the party.
That being said, the Cisco survey only reports about biometrics for car security, which biometrics can do well — seeing as access control consumes a large part of this industry — but what it leaves out is biometrics for customization, which is somewhat unexplored terrain in automobiles (think: auto-adjusted seats, mirrors, climate, navigation and even keyless start options for registered drivers).
I'm not the only one who thinks this, either. I've spoken with a biometric company recently that's shown particular interest in developing a biometric in-car system with cabin customization in mind.
Reported previously, another recently-published Cisco Customer Experience Report shows that customers are mostly willing to share biometric data with their bankers.
Nuance Communications and BYD, a domestic auto manufacturer in China have recently teamed up and introduced a new sedan which includes Nuance's voice recognition technology, though it does not include support for speaker identification.

oUF_Diablo 1.5
Actually I had different plans but that got stomped by the ScrollFrame finding.
So I'm currently in the process of rewriting the orbs for oUF_Diablo in adaption to DiscoKugel2. Preview: http://imgur.com/a/o9nyD#19 DIFFs: http://code.google.com/p/rothui/source/detail?r=1049 http://code.google.com/p/rothui/source/detail?r=1050 Hopefully things will work out properly. I ripped apart huge parts of the config. I'm currently testing orb values on mouseover. Added on optional switch for that. It can be OK for some classes not to know the exact values all the time. For my warrior that just doesn't work out because I have to pool rage and need to know the values at any time. |
So...I started working on the ingame orb configuration.
This is where I'm at: http://imgur.com/a/38aZq#0 Getting all the basic functions to work eats up so much time. The config will allow orb configuration stuff. Textures, color, animations and such. Plus it should support templates. |
Hunter Pets
Hey boss,
When I'm on my hunter and my ferocity pet dies, we have the option of using phoenix to pop it back up without having to cast resurection. Unfortunately, the pet bar disappears right when the pet dies. Is there a way to fix the pet bar so that it doesnt leave just cuz the pet is dead but requires an actual dismissal? Many thanks for all the work you do! Regards. |
Oh. Yeah that is my bar condition. I hide it for dead pets. :) but that condition can be removed.
I fixed the error in the SVN. Will be part of the next update in 5.2. http://code.google.com/p/rothui/sour...1073&r=1073#55 |
My god, we'll have more 3d UI's in no time at all.
This is such a popular UI, making it this much easier, or accessible rather, to the casual user is going to be HUGE. I can't wait to have a copy to play with, rofl. This is awesome, Zork, truly brilliant~ :D
Looks good, but can't you use an image host that isn't slow as molasses in winter and has ads that pop up over the image? :(
Loads fast for me and no ads with adBlock. :)
@zork You realize everyone is going to cry for a GUI for all features of Roth UI now, do you? :D |

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The Swiss have had enough of taking the neutral stance.
To put a stop to the Swiss franc's rapid appreciation, the Swiss central bank announced a ceiling on the currency by setting an exchange rate minimum against the euro.
On Tuesday, the Swiss National Bank (SNB) made its boldest move yet by announcing that the exchange rate between the Swiss franc and the euro must not drop below 1.20 euros. And if it does, the Swiss bank is prepared to enforce the minimum by selling francs and buying up euros "in unlimited quantities."
"The current massive overvaluation of the Swiss franc poses an acute threat to the Swiss economy and carries the risk of a deflationary development," said the SNB in a statement.
Immediately following the announcement, the Swiss franc sank 8.5% to trade right around 1.20 euros.
"This is the most aggressive step the Swiss have taken in the history of the SNB to combat the Swiss franc's rise," said Kathy Lien, director of currency research at Global Forex Trading. "They're hoping this will diminish speculative interest and safe haven attraction to the currency."
Nervous investors have sought safety in the traditional safe haven asset. Since the start of the year, the Swiss franc has surged nearly 20% against the euro due to growing global economic uncertainty. Just last month, the franc strengthened enough to trade close to parity against the euro.
A strong franc makes Swiss goods less attractive to trading partners, and tourists -- a major source of income for Switzerland -- are less likely to visit.
The Swiss central bank has tried to step in to cool the rally by cutting interest rates, but to no avail.
Lien said the latest move should help stabilize the currency, but it could be an uphill battle.
"The reason the Swiss franc has been climbing so fast recently is because of the sovereign debt crisis in Europe," she said. "Europe is still very much in trouble, and if problems keep flaring up, investors will still be tempted to park their money in the Swiss franc."
That could make this commitment to stem the franc's value costly for the Swiss banks, which has about 150 billion euros in reserves to spend on intervention, Lien said.
The SNB took similar measures in March of 2009, when the Swiss franc rose as high as 1.45 euros, and the central bank spent 4 billion euros to stabilize the franc above 1.50 euros, said Lien.

A Little History of British Gardening
Chatto and Windus (UK); Farrar, Straus and Giroux (USA) 2004 Paperback, Pimlico 2005
'As captivating as a walk through the dew-drenched grass on an early summer's morning, and impossible to put down.'
Kate Colquhoun, Daily Telegraph
'Delectable… The best short introduction to the nation's gardening past'. Roy Strong, Daily Mail
Did the Romans have rakes? Did the monks get muddy? Did the potato seem really weird when it arrived on our shores? This potted history of gardening in Britain takes us on a tour from the thorn hedges around prehistoric settlements to the decking and ornamental grasses of today, and tracks down the apprentice boys and weeding women, the florists and nursery gardeners as well as the aristocrats, grand designers and famous plant-hunters. Brought to life in the many vivid illustrations, it deals not only with flowery meads, grottoes, landscapes and allotments, but tells you, for example, how the Tudors made knot-gardens, housewives used herbs to stop freckles, and the suburbs dug for victory in World War II.

Red - Black | Findings on Efficiency between the CCM S6 and the T2 - Work in Progress.
This thread is open to those who want to measure the efficiency of the T2. Also, concerning the S6 - the difference of efficiency. I will continue to measure and post in this thread as we gain findings. Here is an initial measurement of weight differences in the hammer: S6 Hammer: weighs 1.55 ounces. S6 Hammer: WITH Cocking Rod weighs: 1.95 ounces. T2 Hammer: weighs 1.65 ounces. The weight difference is .30 ounces or 8.5 grams. This could cause efficiency differences. What needs to be done: 1) Use a small tank (13 CI would be good) to measure efficiency of the T2. 2) Measure efficiency of the S6 with as many variables being the same (Barrel, Bore, Paint, Tank, and day) 3) Measure spring pressure of the T2 and the S6 (they are different springs) - a fish scale may work here. and more. Please feel free to contribute to the this thread. TF |

Just spitballin here but I would think spring pressure shouldn't be a factor as long as both guns are setup at the same velocity. Sweetspot both regs so each gun gets what it's going to get then shoot the same paint, bore, etc. How tough is it to accurately fill a 13ci tank? I was borrowing a small tank once and the toolbags at the field over filled it *quick*. Not that I can think of a better way to do it...just asking.

I'm not saying it's not different. I am just saying that if someone is concerned about efficiency of the CCM T2 vs the CCM S6 it may not matter as much *what* the spring is if most people aren't going to have access to different springs or aren't going to do more than air it up and shoot. To me it seems like it depends on what question you are answering. You could ask 1) What's the efficiency of the markers out of the box and how do they compare? or you could ask 2) How do we make them most efficient? or even 3) Try to postulate what differences in the construction of the markers is the cause behind the efficiency. If you are going for a deeper analysis (2 or 3) then I see where measuring the spring becomes essential. For question 1...maybe not so much.

Educational equity - a moral imperative for the 21st century.
Description: |
The Faculty of the Arts Administration Program at Teachers College, Columbia University invites all prospective students to attend a Fall Open House on Tuesday, November 12, 2013 from 6:30pm-8:00pm. The Arts Administration program represents an alliance of four disciplines: arts, education, business and law. It is designed to help professionals meet the challenges of the future, including questions about the long-term health and sustainability of arts organizations, their missions, governance and management. Such issues as freedom of expression, censorship and government intervention in the arts have important implications for international, educational and cultural policy, and are integral to the program. Today, arts administration training in the United States is a model in the field, addressing worldwide concerns. Those attending will have the opportunity to speak with faculty, staff and current students about the program and the exciting opportunities that it may hold for them. Representatives from the Offices of Admission and Financial Aid will also be available to speak about the admission process and answer your questions. |
