Jean-Louis Gassée on whether Apple ever invented anything
For thirty years, the industry had tried to create a tablet, and it had tried too hard. The devices kept clotting, one after the other. Alan Kay's Dynabook, Go, Eo, GridPad, various Microsoft-powered Tablet PCs, even Apple's Newton in the early nineties….they didn't congeal, nothing took.
The more effortless the results seem to be, the increased likelihood that those responsible put uniquely competent effort into the achievement.

Discover Financial Services DFS, -0.35% said Friday its $55.9 million acquisition of the mortgage assets of Home Loan Center, a unit of Tree.com Inc. TREE, +1.06% is a "low-risk, low-cost way" to get into the home loans business.
Discover plans to originate home loans that it will sell in the secondary market. "We will not be confronting challenges in servicing and [mortgage] put-back risk," said senior executives in a call early Friday.
U.S. lenders and loan-servicers, plagued by evidence of improper foreclosure procedures, are facing stricter rules and investigations by regulators. In addition, banks have also been forced to buy back improperly underwritten mortgages at steep losses from investors such as mortgage finance giants Fannie Mae FNMA, -1.85% and Freddie Mac FMCC, -1.94%
The foray by Riverwoods, Ill.-based Discover, primarily a credit card lender, into mortgages marks its latest effort to grow its book of business, as it seeks new ways to boost revenue. To this end, it has also been doing personal loans and private student loans.
For lenders, including Discover, credit-card revenues have shrunk along with loans outstanding. For many quarters now, lenders' profits have been helped by loss-reserve releases as credit trends improve, rather than growing from an actual increase in revenue.
The acquisition, announced Thursday, is slated to close by the end of the year. It will have a nominal impact on its 2012 earnings, Discover said.
In March, Discover swung to a record first-quarter profit as improving credit trends allowed the company to free up funds in reserves and cardholders spent more.
Unlike most other card companies that either issue plastic or process the transactions, Discover and bigger rival American Express Co. AXP, +0.22% do both. Therefore, in addition to the interest Discover earns on its loans, a chunk of its revenue comes from fees it charges banks and merchants, such as grocery stores or gas stations, to process card payments.
Discover's shares recently traded at $24.23, up 0.1%. The shares have gained about 30% so far this year.

It's Not Going To Be OK
No, It's Not Going To Be OK
In Welles' day, most of us would have been married with kids by our mid-20s. Popular culture wants to convince us that we can remain young indefinitely (usually through buying things), but 30 is not the new 20 — 30 is 30. If you aren't well on your way to what you really want to do with your life, you need to start yesterday. It's not going to be OK unless you get off your arse and start doing something — now.
You are not going to stumble into your dream job
Your current job — what you're doing right now — is your career and your identity. Does that thought satisfy you? If you took your current title and slapped it on a business card, would you be happy handing that thing out to hot girls, aware that they'd think that's what you are as a person?Careers take work. Dreams take even more. Malcolm Gladwell (a Canadian journalist) suggests that it takes 10,000 hours of practice to master something, and that "genius" is as much effort as it is talent. Mozart wasn't some god-child; he was just a kid who practiced his behind off until music was his language. Similarly while it's clear he had a head-start in talent terms, Wayne Rooney wouldnt be the footballer he is today if he wasn't dedicated to pushing himself. The same thing applies to your future — you can't expect to succeed if you're just yawning your way through life with vague, distant dreams. It's not going to be OK if that's your approach.
Make it OK: Get to work at maximising each day and becoming the man you envision yourself to be now. You're never going to get to where you want to be if you're treating your goals like a halfhearted hobby.
Your dream girl will not just roll up and find you
Romantic comedies hinge on two people just wandering into a meaningful relationship. Sitcoms tell us we'll be right down the hallway from gorgeous chicks who will love us for our quirkiness.These are fiction. These situations do not just happen, and it's not going to be OK if you think they do. Most guys do get married, but a lot of them wind up on the business end of a shotgun wedding because somebody got pregnant. If you're leaving your love life up to chance, hoping for destiny to settle things, you're delusional. You can either put real effort into meeting someone you'll be thrilled with, or you can flounder between crappy relationships until you're suddenly the only unmarried guy you know.
Make it OK: Meet people, preferably by going someplace where women are, someplace you actually enjoy. Don't go to yoga for the chicks if you hate yoga — start with being genuine and confident, and work from there.
We have a few more signs it's not going to be OK and how you can make it OK by doing something about it...

However, it's the crayon-esque ink that's the real star of the show. The ink is melted and sprayed onto a spinning drum which deposits the ink onto the page.The goal here is to try to break the price barrier and get more customers to use color," said Ursula Burns, Xerox's president. "We're trying to replace a lot of black-and-white machines." Ms. Burns said that only 15% of the 2.25 trillion pages printed in offices world-wide last year were in color.Sounds great, but the machine costs $20,000 ( Oooh...that's how they get you. Bastards). Still, serious office laser printers are not cheap to begin with—and this technology could mean big cost savings over time. [WSJ via BBG]

Carbondale residents who work in Scranton will be exempt from paying Scranton's proposed commuter tax, based on a tax-collection expert's statements Friday.
Same goes for people who live in Wilkes-Barre, Kingston, Nanticoke, Hazleton and Plymouth Twp., but work in Scranton.
People who work in Scranton but live in Pittston, Kingston Twp., Wilkes-Barre Twp. and the townships and boroughs that make up the Hazleton School District, would only pay part of Scranton's new commuter tax if they work there.
The reason: state law limits your local wage tax to the higher of where you work or where you live, said James Hunt, director of sales and client services for H.A. Berkheimer Tax Administrator.
So if your hometown and school district combined already charge you more in local wages tax than the commuter tax in the place where you work, you don't have to pay any more, Mr. Hunt said.
It's unclear how much, if at all, that will reduce the $5.15 million Scranton expects to raise from its proposed 0.75 percent commuter tax.
Mayor Bill Courtright said he didn't know what effect wage taxes outside the city would have on the city's planned commuter tax. He referred questions to attorney Jason Shrive, the city solicitor, who could not be reached for comment.
On paper, Scranton already charges a 1 percent commuter tax — also referred to as a nonresident wage tax — but for the most part the city never sees any money from that because most municipalities outside the city also charge a 1 percent wage tax, which means they get that money.
Technically, Scranton proposes to raise its nonresident tax to 1.75 percent — the existing 1 percent commuter tax plus the additional 0.75 percent.
Compare that to what Carbondale residents pay. They already pay a 2.1 percent wage tax — 1.6 percent to the city and 0.5 percent — so they won't have to pay anything more.
Same goes for residents of Wilkes-Barre, whose total wage tax is 3 percent; Kingston, 1.99 percent; Nanticoke and Plymouth Twp., 2 percent; and Hazleton, 2.35 percent.
Pittston's total wage tax is 1.5 percent, or 0.25 percentage points lower than Scranton's 1.75 percent.
So for Pittston residents who work in Scranton, they would keep paying a total of 1.5 percent to their city and school district, but another 0.25 percent would go to Scranton.
Same goes for most of the municipalities that make up the Hazleton Area School District. Except for the city of Hazleton, they all pay 1.5 percent in combined municipal and school district wage taxes.
Wilkes-Barre Twp. residents would pay Scranton another 0.5 percent because their wage tax is already 1.25 percent.
Kingston Twp. residents would pay 0.18 percent more to Scranton because their wage tax is 1.57 percent.
For all other municipalities that already charge a 1 percent wage tax, their residents would pay the full 0.75 percent Scranton commuter tax.

Citi Field (Flushing, NY)
Final | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | R | H | E |
Philadelphia (27-25) « | 0 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 1 | 6 | 10 | 14 | 0 |
N.Y. Mets (28-23) | 1 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 6 | 12 | 1 |
W: A. Bastardo (2-1) L: J. Rauch (3-4)
HR: PHI - T. Wigginton (5),C. Ruiz (8),J. Rollins (2) NYM - L. Duda (6),L. Duda (7)
The Phillies rallied for a win, though not for snakebitten starter Cliff Lee.
The left-hander will enter June winless despite his team's 10-6 victory over the New York Mets on Wednesday night in the rubber match of a three-game set.
Carlos Ruiz pinch-hit for Lee in the seventh inning and hit a two-run homer to tie the game, and Philadelphia went ahead on Shane Victorino's sacrifice fly an inning later before running away with it.
Lee remained 0-2 after eight starts despite an earned run average that reached 3.00 only after he gave up three runs on seven hits and two walks to the Mets. He struck out seven.
The Phillies bookended the series with wins, moving to 6-2 in their last eight games.
Jimmy Rollins hit a three-run homer to highlight a six-run ninth inning and Ty Wigginton had a solo homer and two RBI, finishing 6-for-11 in the series with two home runs and eight RBI.
Mets starter Dillon Gee yielded two runs in 6 2/3 innings and Lucas Duda hit two homers for three RBI.
Lee got double plays in the second and third -- facing the minimum in both innings -- and pitched around two singles in the fourth before going 1-2-3 again in the fifth.
The Mets took a 3-1 lead in the sixth after Scott Hairston doubled and Duda knocked his first homer of the game deep over the right-center field fence.
But Brian Schneider doubled with two outs in the seventh, knocking Gee out of the game, and Ruiz hit his eighth homer of the season off Bobby Parnell to tie the game at 3-3.
Antonio Bastardo (2-1) pitched the seventh for Philadelphia, working around a single by Andres Torres, and Juan Pierre led off the eighth with a base hit against Jon Rauch (3-4). Pierre went to third on Hunter Pence's single and slid ahead of the tag on Victorino's sac fly to center to make it 4-3.
The Phillies scored six runs in the ninth inning against three Mets pitchers. Rollins stroked a three-run shot into the upper deck above right field while Wigginton had an RBI double and Victorino added a two-run single.
Duda hit his second homer of the game, and seventh of the season, leading off the ninth against Raul Valdes. Andres Torres added an RBI double before the Phils brought in closer Jonathan Papelbon, who gave up an RBI single to Daniel Murphy before getting the last out.
Earlier, Murphy walked in the first inning and scored after running through a stop sign from Mets third base coach Tim Teufel on David Wright's double off the center field wall, sliding to beat the tag at home for a 1-0 lead.
Wigginton led off the second inning with a long homer to left field, his fifth of the season, to tie the game.
Game Notes
The Phillies hadn't scored more than two runs in Lee's previous three starts before Wednesday. Lee has never gone this long without a win in a season...The Mets are 6-3 against the Phillies this season...New York placed infielder Ronny Cedeno on the 15-day disabled list Wednesday with a strained calf and recalled Jordany Valdespin from Triple-A Buffalo. Valdespin pinch-hit in the seventh and struck out...The Phillies went 5-2 on a seven-game road trip and head home for seven in a row...The Mets fell to 4-3 on an 11-game homestand that continues with a four-game series against the Cardinals starting Friday.

Sean Nolan, chief architect of Microsoft's HealthVault service, posted an article about giving their users choice for the identities they use to access their information. He announced that in addition to accepting LiveIDs, HealthVault is about to start accepting OpenIDs from two OpenID Providers and is also building native Information Card support. As Sean wrote:
As we've always said, HealthVault is about consumer control — empowering individuals with tools that let them choose how to share and safeguard their personal health information. OpenID support is a natural fit for this approach, because it allows users to choose the "locksmith" that they are most comfortable with.
You can certainly expect to see more such options in the future. For example, we are in the process of building in native support for Information Cards, which provide some unique advantages, in particular around foiling phishing attempts.
Talking about OpenID, Sean also wrote:
As we learn more, and as OpenID continues to mature, we fully expect to broaden the set of providers that work with HealthVault. We believe that a critical part of that expansion is the formalization and adoption of PAPE, which gives relying parties a richer set of tools to determine if they are comfortable with the policies of an identity provider.
Please join me in congratulating the HealthVault team on being the first Microsoft service to employ OpenID and for their commitment to providing their users convenient, secure access to their healthcare data.

#3171 closed bug (invalid)
wrap() only adds sibling in some instances
Reported by: | logicmason | Owned by: | |
Priority: | major | Milestone: | 1.3 |
Component: | core | Version: | 1.2.6 |
Keywords: | wrap() adds sibling | Cc: | logicmason, flesler, Julian-Birch |
Blocked by: | Blocking: |
I have found that wrap() is not working properly when trying to wrap with elements containing text. For example, taking this HTML:
...

Text1

Text2

 ...
If I attempt to wrap the  element around the
 element using:
(NOTE: $(this) in all the examples shown on this page relate to the
 elements)
var linkElem = $(this).find( "a:first" ); $(this).wrap( linkElem ); $(this).remove( "a" );
The result (seen using firebug) is that the inner  element is added as a sibling to the wrap() caller element:
...
 Text1
Text1

Text2

 ...
I note as well the call to remove() did not remove the inner element. To workaround this, it seems you actually have to remove the wrapping element's text, then wrap it around the inner element, then re-apply the text to the inner element:
var linkElem = $(this).find( "a:first" ); var linkText = $(linkElem).text(); $(linkElem).empty(); $(this).wrap( linkElem ); $(this).empty(); $(this).text( linkText );
...

Have only tried this in FF3.

comment:4 Changed 8 years ago by dmethvin
- Resolution set to invalid
- Status changed from new to closed
The Julian-Birch test case isn't valid:
works fine with this:
On the OP's example, wrap is not intended to deal with cases where there are already sibling elements inside the wrapping element, which is the case with text. The text is a child of the ; using it as the wrapping element does not cause the
 to adopt the text.
Note that  is an inline element and
 is a block element, so the HTML created is invalid. However, your final approach would be the right one to use to get the HTML you wanted.
comment:5 Changed 8 years ago by Julian-Birch
Agreed. Sorry, I managed to find the problem with the test case, but couldn't track down the ticket earlier. Everything works as per spec.

A Flipkart delivery person was murdered by a twenty two year old youth in Bengaluru as he did not had money to pay for the phone he had ordered online. The accused identified as K Varun Kumar is a Gym trainer. He had ordered a Redmi note 3 phone from Flipkart and when the phone arrived he didn't had the amount (Rs 11,999) for the payment towards the phone so he slit the delivery man's throat and threw his body in the lift shaft. The victim who was twenty nine years old is identified as Nanjunda Swamy.
Police today local media that Varun badly needed a phone after having joined the gym around 10 days ago. He had asked his father to give him some cash so that he can buy a phone but he refused saying that he doesn't have enough cash. His father also told him that going forward he should fund his own expenses since he has started working. Varun then decided that he will order a phone online and kill the delivery guy upon delivery and on December 8th he ordered the phone and gave the gym number as his landline number.
On December 9th Swamy called Varun to deliver the package, Varun then asked Swamy to come to the second floor, upon arrival Varun tried to snatch the phone and run but Swamy somehow overpowered him and went out of the gym. Varun then hit Swamy with a flowerpot and whn Swamy lost consciousness he slit his throat and waited till he died. Varun then hid his body in the gym and dumped it in the lift shaft after 10 hours.
Varun was arrested on Tuesday. Few customers told the police that Varun had not opened the gym since Friday and police suspected his involvement. After murdering Swamy, Varun took two phones, some cash and few other packages from the victim's delivery bag. He used one phone for himself and gave one to his friend.
Varun is booked under IPC 302 (murder) and IPC 397 (robbery). Police said that Varun had kept the knife in the gym a day before to execute his plan.

Loading... New York, Fair Or No Fair: A guide for the woman vacationistby Marjorie Hillis Roulston
None. None Loading...
Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. I love this book! It's one of the crown jewels of my New York collection -- a witty and good-natured "guide for the woman vacationist" to the New York City of 1939, including the World's Fair. Charmingly illustrated, the book tells the single "career gal" everything she'd need to know about arriving in New York by train, booking in at a reasonable hotel, getting around, shopping, dining out alone, finding companionship (or hiring it!) and so on. It's deliciously dated -- just the wardrobe tips alone are worth it to savor (or rue) the way mores have changed since the mid-20th century. no reviews | add a review

Blackburn with Darwen, unitary authority, geographic and historic county of Lancashire, northwestern England, 23 miles (37 km) northwest of Manchester.
The famous weaving tradition of the town of Blackburn had its beginnings in the 13th-century wool trade. By the reign of Elizabeth I, Blackburn was a flourishing market town of 2,000 people, with Irish flax being utilized in the production of fabrics. The introduction of the spinning jenny (invented by James Hargreaves about 1764 at nearby Stanhill) and other textile machinery speeded cotton spinning, while the Leeds and Liverpool Canal (completed 1816) aided transport and was a useful source of water.

If you haven't yet entered my Pezzy Prints giveaway, check it out here!
Winner will be chosen on 3/23.
I finished up Sara's Star quilt, so what was the next logical step? Starting a few more projects, of course. At the rate I start projects, I'm going to have 4,302 WIPs by the end of the year but only 12 finishes. Oops.
Anyway, at some point a few weeks ago I put together a bundle of girly prints - flowery things that are all manner of pinks, and some stripes, and that sort of thing - and decided to cut squares from them. It then came to me to make sort-of-4-patch blocks out of them. This is what I've got so far:
There are definitely way more than enough to make two (if not three!) children's sized quilts out of, as I'm planning on putting white sashing between the blocks. I think these would all end up for sale.
I then decided it would be a good idea to do the same thing with my two charm packs of Half Moon Modern and two packs of white Bella Solids:
(Pardon my terrible photography skills! I tend to take photos before work, with the intention of blogging at lunch time...and then I don't. Aww.). Anyway, I think I'm going to pick one of the solid colors (possibly the teal?) from the line to use for sashing, and use all the blocks in the same quilt. Not sure where this one will end up, either.
Then I've started ANOTHER project, out of slightly-smaller-than-charm-square sized squares that I got from a couple of swaps I participated in. It was my first swap, and as much as I appreciate the bargains I can find at Joann for fabrics for myself, I also very much understand why swap mammas say NO to those for their swaps. Anyway, I'm making 16-patches out of them:
14 out of the 22 blocks have turned out properly, like this (they're still in two sets of eight squares each)
While the other eight have turned out like this! I have no idea where or how they went wrong; I just know I have a bunch of seam ripping to do! Boo! Since my parents are now coming for Christmas, I think these blocks, combined with a cream-colored sashing (tentatively, anyway) will end up being their Christmas present. I think I can handle that sort of schedule!
In other news - WOW. I joined up with the St. Patty's day giveaway blog hop and have been amazed at the results. 174 comments SO FAR, *and* I now have 100 followers! Whoa! Thank you, all of you, for all the comments. I've defintely read every one, even though I've been overwhelmed and haven't replied to them all. I'll definitely do another giveaway sometime soon for hitting that milestone, probably at the end of April, for my birthday.
Lastly, if you're as addicted to charm swaps as I've become, there's another one going on over at Adventures in obsessive crafting. Deanna's looking for folks interested in swapping rainbow charms, and she (and I!) would love if it you joined up!

Qld soldier honoured for decorated career
An Indigenous ex-serviceman has been recognised by his community for his extensive military career which has taken him from conflicts in the Middle East to the hills of Hollywood.

Dale McPherson served in the Australian Army for 15 years, working in Somalia in 1993, completing his SAS training and joining a counter-terrorism unit in Perth, before working on the security detail for Hollywood heavyweights like Leonardo DiCaprio and Charlie Sheen.
Mr McPherson is one of central Queensland's servicemen who is being honoured in an exhibition at the CQ Military Museum during NAIDOC Week.
"This is where it all began for me, this is where I did all my testing and signed up right in this building," he said.
"To be welcomed back, it's an honour to have my family here and to hear my story.
"No soldier ever looks for recognition but to be recognised today, I'm a bit taken back by it to be honest."
Mr McPherson is now working at the Australian Embassy in Afghanistan.
His story and portrait are on display at the museum, along with a number of other locals who have served in the military.
He says it's an honour to be recognised in an exhibition that celebrates the role Indigenous servicemen and women have played in the Australian military.
"I've served with so many different groups in my military career from ethnic backgrounds and no one is looked upon by what colour they are or where they're from," he said.
"We're all brothers, brothers in arms and to be specifically recognised from the Indigenous side of it, I think it's a very important thing and long overdue.
"On the wall in here, I have three other family members too."
Camera 'threat'
Mr McPherson says after leaving the military he worked as part of the security detail for diplomats in Iraq and then for Hollywood actors.
It was a transition he welcomed.
"It was quite refreshing because the only threat I had to deal with was a camera," he said.
"We went from guns to cameras so everything was a breeze."
Family heritage
Mr McPherson hails from the Kalabara and Barada people from the Middlemount and Marlborough area.
"I don't identify clearly as Aboriginal but I recognise myself as that because my family are," he said.
"I used to be called the blue-eyed black fella when I was a kid."
He says his bush upbringing prepared him for a life in the military.
"That's why I'm quite happy to share my story because it's not about me tooting my own trumpet, it's about showing other kids that I was just a country kid from Bluff and I was no scholar at school, so if I can do it, why can't they?" he said.

Boateng and Muntari take their places in Champions League folklore
The main instigators of Barcelona's defeat at the San Siro, strangely enough, were both African. Kevin Prince-Boateng and Muntari scored Milan's two goals on the night.
Both are Ghanaian internationals and this Wednesday, for the first time in Champions League history, two players from that country scored in the same match.
Boateng opened the scoring in the 57th minute and Muntari sealed the Italian team's win in the 81st minute.
"We played as a team, we listened to our Coach, he did a fantastic job in how he sent us on the pitch", grinned Muntari.
"We were very disciplined and managed to close every angle down so they couldn't penetrate us. If you play without concentration against them, they harm you and they make you suffer", he said.
"It was the most important goal of my career. It is a good lead, but the Camp Nou is not easy. You can have a 5-0 lead but it is not safe as Barcelona have amazing players. We have two goals to our advantage and we will do our best to do well", Muntari concluded.

Earth warming at faster pace, say top science group's leaders / Statement by American Geophysical Union's council warns temperature change is real and human-caused
Published 4:00 am, Thursday, December 18, 2003
Leaders of one of the nation's top scientific organizations issued a new warning this week that human activities -- most notably the greenhouse gas emissions from power plants and other industries -- are warming Earth's climate at a faster rate than ever.
The statement came from the 28-member council of the American Geophysical Union, whose 41,000 members include more than 10,000 experts on the planet's atmosphere and changing climate.
Although the vast majority of climate researchers are persuaded that the evidence, combined with computer models, show that global warming is real and dangerous, a few scientists still hold to the view that most of the changes are due more to natural cycles than human-induced causes.
Lead scientist of the organization that circulated the statement is Robert Dickinson, professor of atmospheric sciences at the Georgia Institute of Technology. Another significant signer was John Christy, director of the University of Alabama's Earth Systems Science Center, a more cautious supporter of the idea that humans are causing climate change.
In a phone interview, Christy said that while he supports the AGU declaration, and is convinced that human activities are the major cause of the global warming that has been measured, he is "still a strong critic of scientists who make catastrophic predictions of huge increases in global temperatures and tremendous rises in sea levels."
"It is scientifically inconceivable that after changing forests into cities, turning millions of acres into farmland, putting massive quantities of soot and dust into the atmosphere and sending quantities of greenhouse gases into the air, that the natural course of climate change hasn't been increased in the past century."
The AGU has issued milder statements on global change in the past, with more emphasis on theories about natural changes than on evidence of human- caused rapid warming. But this statement declared: "Scientific evidence strongly indicates that natural influences cannot explain the rapid increase in global near-surface temperatures observed in the second half of the 20th century."
Although they cannot yet predict the pace of change, the scientists did declare that since 1900 more than 80 percent of the atmosphere's heat-trapping carbon dioxide -- the major greenhouse gas -- has been caused by fossil fuel burning and changes in land use. They also said that levels of the gas "may be rising faster than at any time in Earth's history, except possibly following rare events like impacts from extraterrestrial objects."
Without specifying numbers, the scientists did make these predictions: "Mid-continent warming will be greater than over the oceans, and there will be greater warming at higher latitudes. Some polar and glacial ice will melt, and the oceans will warm; both effects will contribute to higher sea levels. There will be considerable regional variations in the resulting impacts.
"The unprecedented increases in greenhouse gas concentrations, together with other human influences on climate over the past century and those anticipated for the future, constitute a real basis for concern."
In a related development, researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute in Massachusetts are reporting that the tropical Atlantic Ocean is much saltier than it was 50 years ago, according to the Boston Globe.
Scientists have assumed that global warming would speed evaporation in parts of the world's oceans but had no direct way of measuring the change. In the Woods Hole study, published in the journal Nature, scientists estimated that tropical evaporation rates increased 10 percent during the last 15 years.
As a purely scientific organization, the AGU took no stand on the politics of the international Kyoto Protocol limiting greenhouse gas emissions, which President Bush has refused to sign.
But the AGU did suggest that continuing scientific research "provides a basis for mitigating the harmful effects of global climate change through decreased human influences." Among the AGU's suggestions: slowing greenhouse gas emissions, improving land management practices and removing carbon from the atmosphere.

Not exactly Gary. I still have the Escort, I rebuilt the engine in it. I sold my truck to Tim for the Saleen. So now I have to get another truck down the road sometime.
not to steal george's thunder, but I looked at a car today and I think I found my next toy. '96 mystic cobra is pretty good shape...dirt freakin cheap, runs well, paint overall is in good shape...driver seat looks awful, but I wouldnt keep those seats reguardless....looks like it'll work out...we'll see
Seats looked terrible after a year. That high quality leather they used back then. What was the price?
and a 2 car trailer like the Animal. How cool was that to see 2 S351's roll in on a 2 car trailer at the Nationals......
I may be selling the two car and buying a three car. Possibly and enclosed. I put my race car up for sale today so I doubt I will be selling the 99.
....car looks great not to mention the price tag too!! Congrats Tim!! How many miles are on the odometer?? I need to find a deal like that as well!!
122k...but it runs strong, had all the general maintenance which include new IMRC control box, imrc's cleaned, all good to go, new ford water pump as well
Hey it's a Mystic. Good trade up Tim. From looking at the second pic, I can tell the dude across the street likes it too.LOL
George. The grey wheels on the grey car make it look one of a kind. I think that is a fantastic trade/deal/swap for both you and Tim. He won't need any more Dramamine for the bumpy ride in the fox and you get twin 87's. Careful not to mod it too fast. Remember, there is plenty of time. Congrats
Marcus I'll always keep all the original parts so if I decide I can always put her back to complete stock form like Randy did with his SSC. I agree the 3 piece STERNS look like they were made for the car with the color. I may do like Bart suggested and have a light tint done to the windows to help break up all the grey color.

Rank And Quantity Mobility In The Empirical Dynamics Of Inequality
Horizontal and vertical measures of inequality are related through mobility. The paper draws attention to two types of mobility: quantity mobility, which refers to mobility in income itself, and rank mobility, which refers to mobility in the position in the distribution of income. Individually matched census data for earnings in Israel are used to illustrate these concepts empirically. Mobility is measured between 1983 and 1995. It is shown that earnings in Israel are highly mobile. The high degree of earnings mobility implies that horizontal measures of inequality considerably overstate the underlying level of inequality. The method of errors in variables is used to distinguish between current and permanent mobility and inequality. Permanent earnings are more equal than current earnings and less mobile. Finally, the methodology is applied to PSID. It is shown that earnings were more mobile in Israel than in the United States. Copyright 2004 Blackwell Publishing Ltd.

Study: Hispanics Do More Online
After initially trailing in Internet adoption, U.S. Hispanics are flocking to the Web and spending more time online than the general population, according to a new report released by the online unit of AOL Time Warner
The U.S. Hispanic Cyberstudy, done by AOL in conjunction with pollster RoperASW, documents why many marketers have recently stepped up their online marketing initiatives aimed as Hispanics.
According to the study, nearly half of those polled got Internet access in the past two years-- more than double the figure (21 percent) for the general population. Despite the late adoption, however, Hispanics are embracing the Net quickly, spending 43 percent more time online at work (13.5 hours) and 13 percent at home (9.5 hours) than the overall online population.
RoperASW conducted the poll in October, questioning 301 randomly selected Hispanic online subscribers. The survey has a 6 percent margin of error. Overall Internet population data was culled from the AOL/RoperASW U.S. Cyberstudy of 1,001 home Internet users that was conducted last September. That poll had a 3 percent margin of error.
Marketers have begun to take note, although slowly. The Association of Hispanic Advertising agencies issued a report last April that said leading advertisers spent about 3.2 percent of their marketing budgets on Hispanic advertising in 2001, trailing far behind Hispanics' 13 percent share of the U.S. population. However, spending on Hispanic marketing initiatives has increased sharply from 1999, when they represented just 1.8 percent of ad spending. According to CMR/TNS Media Intelligence ad forecast for 2003, the trend will continue, with Spanish-language television experiencing the greatest increase in marketing dollars this year, growing 9.2 percent -- far outpacing the middling growth anticipated in most other media.
While spending on media like TV has been tagged as a priority in most marketing campaigns aimed at Hispanics, online initiatives have shown some promise. ComScore Networks, an Internet audience measurement firm, estimates that about 15 million Hispanics are online, growing at about 20 percent a year.
The AOL study showed Hispanics still trailing the general Internet population in online purchases, spending an average of $439 over the past three months compared to $543 for the overall population. About 37 percent of respondents said they expected to increase their e-commerce activity. Compared to the overall Internet population, the poll found Hispanics more likely to shop online for entertainment products, such as movie tickets, CDs and DVDs. Respondents were markedly less likely to buy consumer electronics, computers and clothing.
"E-commerce has emerged as one of the most active areas for Hispanic online consumers," said Peter Blacker, vice president of international and U.S. Hispanic marketing at AOL. "The message is clear: being online is an essential part of any advertising mix targeted toward the exciting Hispanic market."
Earlier this month, Office Depot unveiled a Spanish language site aimed at the 2 million Hispanic-owned businesses in the United States. Office Depot inked a marketing pact with Terra.com, a leading Spanish-language Internet portal.
Despite their lower e-commerce activity, the AOL study found Hispanics much more amenable to online marketing messages: 41 percent said they found online advertising informative, while just 24 percent of all Internet users did. Also, Hispanic Internet users turned to the Web for researching products, with 61 percent learning about a product or service online and 50 percent doing price comparisons.
The automotive industry has been a leader in brand marketing to Hispanics online, with Toyota launching a Spanish-language site in September 2001. Other automakers, like Ford and Nissan, have followed suit or plan to do so soon.
Last week, Univision said its online arm added 70 advertisers in 2002, including AT&T Wireless, Bank of America and Pepsi. The company said its online ad revenues increased 92 percent during the year.
AOL has courted Hispanic users by partnering in December 2001 with Univision.com to complement its Spanish-language content from AOL Latin America. The company estimates that 45 percent of Hispanics online use AOL.

This animal is fortunate to have the best of both worlds: good care due to being partially disabled and still frequent freedom to fly and soar. The only way to keep an animal in captivity, as I see it! Good work, great article.

We've played Arizona National for about ten straight years. This year (April 2012) the course was completely brown and the fairways were hard as a rock. A drive might roll 100 extra yards. It was terrible. They didn't even have french fries in the restaurant, which makes me think they are in serious financial trouble. I wouldn't book there without seeing it for yourself. You won't believe how fast they've deteriorated.

Played on 8/7. Greens were in great shape. Rolled a little slow, but very few bad spots throughout the course. Fairways were a little spotty and the bunkers were bad (not surprising given that it's monsoon season). Overall, a very nice course.

Great greens, well manicured. Good prices, good people. Enought to make you come back over and over again.

It requires a strong thought process to play. I've been a member 13 years. They are the most challenging greens to read in Arizona.

I love it and I hate it. Bring extra balls! It's a challenging course and one of the most beautiful here in Tucson. Especially their signature hole...the 18th is a par 5 and it plays right out into the water if you can reach it. You gotta appreciate the game but love the scenery.

Bring a lot of balls, but the view is worth it! On the 18th hole, make sure to hit from the black tees because it's at the top of the little mountain and the view is gorgeous!

It's a beautiful course. Challenging from tee to green. Views of the mountains are great and the houses surrounding it are beautiful. It's a great desert setting.

The course is always immaculate. The fairways and greens are always perfect. I shot the round of my life there six months ago so I'll always be going back!

It's a narrow, beautiful course that's a lot of fun to play. It was a little slow. There are a lot of interesting holes, some blind tee shots, and short par 4's that will kill you.

A friendly course. Fairways are wide, easy to hit for me. Large greens. Nice scenery - up high, can look out over Tucson. Nice view most of the time. Everything is well run.

I think Hayden and Jones' pronounciations are very different, actually. For example: - "POWAH!" (Jones) vs "POWER" (Hayden). The same can be said for most most ending in "R". "You are PAHT or the Rebel Alliance and a TRAITAH". -Jones pronounces words with a soft "l", and Hayden uses a hard "l". Picture Vader saying "...he is most displeased with your apparent lack of progress", now picture Hayden saying the same phrase.
I fell asleep as the Falcon was being drawn into the Death Star and woke up during the attack briefing on Yavin. I didn't even realize it until a few minutes later, saying to myself "I slept through the whole Death Star sequence." If you fall asleep while watching a STAR WARS movie, do you rewind (I know it's a DVD, but the word fits) and resume, or do you just continue on. I almost feel like I've seen it so many times I don't even know notice when my eyes start to shut and I drift away or realize I missed it when I wake back up.
In the book he's left exactly how, in Vader's hands: Tarkin smiled a death's head smile, his face a parchment skull's. "It will be interesting to see what manner of passing Lord Vader has in mind for you. I am certain it will be worthy of you- and of him. "But before you leave us, we must demonstrate the power of this station once and for all, in a conclusive fashion. In a way, you have determined the choice of subject for this demonstration. Since you have proven reluctant to supply us with the location of the rebel stronghold, I have deemed it appropriate to select as an alternate subject your home planet of Alderaan."
Are there any DVD versions of the '97 Special Edition, or are they all either the originals or the lame Haydenkin version?
I recall seeing a laserdisc or VCD version of the 1997 SE's floating around, but it probably had embedded Chinese subtitles.
You could make one with a VHS to DVD converter, although it'd probably look pretty bad-VHS is extremely low-resolution even compared to regular DVDs. I'm mostly waiting for the 4K version myself-that is almost exactly the digital equivalent to 35mm. In terms of image sharpness and resolution, the last time large audiences actually saw the OT in any form was the SE theatrical release, and it'll be spectacular to get in the home.
A podcast with some pretty good insider SW info. They sound a lot like the old podcast put out by TFN.n It might feature the sames hosts.
Don't think so, although you might try starting a thread in Star Wars Community-that's more for general SW discussion, which this sounds like.
They don't have a questions thread, and this didn't feel like a "start a whole new thread" kind of situation, but I hear what you're saying. No non OT questions here. Got it.
Let's see... random OT questions, huh? OK, what are the daily caloric intake needs of an adult wampa?
I'd say around 4,000, given that they live in a cold environment and look somewhat larger than normal humans.
http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/movies-severely-spoiled-were-released-203358473.html "Star Wars" -- Darth Vader Actor Spilled the Beans Lucky for Abrams, this happened way before he took over the "Star Wars" franchise. David Prowse, who played Vader (the voice was dubbed by James Earl Jones), revealed in press interviews two whole years before "The Empire Strikes Back" came out that his character is, shockingly, Luke Skywalker's father. He told a fanzine, "In the next film, there is going to be a confrontation between Luke and Darth Vader and they then discover that Darth Vader never killed his father, that Darth Vader IS his father. So son can't kill father, and father can't kill son — so Darth Vader lives into the next sequel." I just saw this in a Yahoo article and thought this was not correct. I'm pretty sure in some interview it was GL himself that said he didn't let any of the actors know Vader was Luke's father until he told Hamill minutes before that scene was shot... Is this report wrong?
Yeah, it is. Hamill was told offstage barely minutes before the scene happened what Darth was going to say. Prowse never knew, and the scripts are even different.
