Clean room, That's about itPosted Jul 26, 2016
Pros: Clean room, comfortable bed, convenient location.
Cons: I wish the staff would have actively sought out whoever was smoking illegal substances. It smelled like 50 people were smoking in that hotel.
Location: Close to the mall, ocean, and Stubhub (if you have a rental car).
The property is convenient. Upon arriving, the lobbying reeked of illegal substances. There were signs warning guests not to smoke illegal substances (even though guests clearly were). As we went up to our room, the hallway had an overwhelming smell of illegal substances. Our room was clean and fairly newly renovated. We were very happy that our room was smell-free. For the price and location, this hotel was great, although I would never want children to stay in that hotel.

Terrible hotelPosted Jul 22, 2016
Pros: nothing
Cons: everything
Terrible hotel. Very bare minimum. Towels were smaill and rough and thin. No room service for the 3 days I stayed there and 2 of the 3 days my AC did not work and they didn't fix it. Said they could not move me because hotel was sold out.

I would pay a few dollars extra and stay somewhere else. The location is safe and there is a lot eating options around. However the hotel is in bad shape. The bedding is so thin and old, the entire hotel smell awful, the staff is very inattentive.

Nice clean hotel in a great area for food or shopping, but I really need a good night's sleep more than anything else and the pillows were as hard as rocks!

OM-D & 45mm at Chinatown market
Sep 4, 2012
When it comes to High ISO, I'm very reluctant to set the ISO higher than 800...
E-P3 introduce that fear when I'm relatively new to photography world and most of my shots was taken with iAuto function - which resulting a lot of noise & banding problems if it was shot at dark scenes.
However, since I move to OM-D and start using faster lens (45mm F/1.8) I think the barrier has been struct and I'm starting to get comfortable to leverage my ISO setting to 1600.
Although most of my shot still in JPEG, I tend to turn off the noise filter & reduction function but the result still alright.
This was taken from my Melbourne trip 2 months ago.
Shot at Chinatown market place.

Tony Clark voted in as executive director of MLB Players' Association
Former MLB player Tony Clark has been named the new executive director of the player's union.
Tony Clark was appointed executive director today in a unanimous vote by the Executive Board. http://t.co/oZpDENAQL2 pic.twitter.com/rtfJLpBn4s
— MLBPA (@MLB_PLAYERS) December 3, 2013
Long time big league first baseman Tony Clark has been unanimously voted in as the new executive director of the Major League Baseball Players' Association. He replaces Michael Weiner, who lost his fight with brain cancer two weeks ago.
"Tony has some big shoes to fill, but we're more than confident that he has the knowledge, experience and passion to serve as our next executive director," said free agent outfielder and MLBPA representative Curtis Granderson. "Tony has been actively involved in the last three rounds of bargaining, and his commitment to the brotherhood of players -- past, present and future -- makes him uniquely qualified to serve in this role."
Clark, 41, was named the MLBPA's deputy executive director in July, a position that was created in case Weiner was unable to continue working. He is the sixth executive director in MLBPA history and the first former player to hold the position. Clark will oversee all day-to-day aspects of the union's operations, including labor relations and business matters.
In parts of 15 big league seasons, Clark hit .262/.339/.485 (112 OPS+) with 251 home runs. He was an All-Star in 2001 and finished third in the 1996 AL Rookie of the Year voting. Clark played for the Tigers, Red Sox, Mets, Yankees, Diamondbacks and Padres.

Reserved seating is way off to the side of the stage where it is difficult to see the show. There is way better seating if you just walk in, but you have to be very early to get a seat. The food is mediocre at best & took 45 minutes to get it. Onion rings were cold. The comedians were good, but tha Assie bloke was very hard to understand, with a strong accent & a quick speech pattern.

Image authentication for digital image evidence
Che-Yen Wen, *Ph.D.;Kun-Ta Yang, M.S. Department of Forensic Science, Central Police University, Taoyuan 33304, Taiwan, ROC
1, 1
Received: July , 2006 / Accepted: September , 2006
With the increasing use of digital images in forensic science, it is obviously that digital images captured from CCD (chargecoupled device) cameras or other digital image devices have become direct or indirect exhibit in court to demonstrate the relationship between suspects and the criminals. To keep the integrity and ensure the accuracy and reliability of the standard operating procedures (SOPs), all processing steps (such as parameters, mathematical actions and processed images) have to be documented or recorded by forensic examiners. However, the easy manipulation property of digital images makes us doubtful when using digital images as evidence in court. In order to improve this situation, we need a robust method to guarantee and strengthen chain of custody. In this paper, we propose a cryptography based technology that has been publicly applied in information security to assist the examination and analysis of digital image data. From our experimental results, the technology provides a unique cipher for every single processed image. We can use the unique cipher (check any change of the cipher) to confirm if the image is modified easily. With the proposed technology, we can strengthen image authentication effectively. Keywords: Digital image evidence;Image authentication;Cryptography; Forensic Science
1. Introduction Digital images have been widely used in our community. Such massive amount digital images have been recently applied in forensic science, such as we can figure out features of suspects or characteristic marks of criminal vehciles. However, with proper computer software, we can modify or duplicate those image data easily. If those modification or duplication is unauthorized, it will make us doubtful when submitting digital images as evidence in court. To guarantee the reproductivity, all processes or steps taken by forensic examiners have to be documented or recorded in detail, such as dodging, burning, color balancing, contrast adjustment, unsharp masking, multiimage averaging, integration, or Fourier analysis, and so on, when dealing with digital image evidence to provide integrity protection. [1]. Nevertheless, those documents
* Corresponding author, e-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com
and records still can not prohibit the malicious or criminal obfuscation from altering the content of the digital evidence effectively and completely. Therefore, in order to assist the examination and analysis of digital image evidence by forensic examiners in the laboratory, we propose a robust and convenient technology to improve this situation. The technology is based on cryptography and effectively enhances the strength of power of evidence. The proposed technology creates a unique code as a 'fingerprint' or 'digital signature' to be with an image. Therefore, we can easily figure out if anyone tampers with the evidence content. In cryptography, one of the techniques to produce a message authentication code is based on using hash functions. A hash function provides additional security properties to make it suitable for use as a primitive in various information security applications, such as
Forensic Science Journal 2006; Vol. 5, No. 1
authentication and meddage integrity. Hash functions are widely used to protect password contents and interactive authentication in the internet. Even a single bit changed in the input message, though, will produce a different hash value. In this paper, we apply this important property to provide integrity protection. There are many well-known and documented hash algorithms: MD (Message-Digest algorithm ) [2, ], MD5 (Message-Digest algorithm 5) [~], SHA-0 [], SHA-1[], and RIPEMD-160 [10] in information security domains. Here, we briefly summarize those hash algorithms. 1.1 MD family In 12, Ronald L. Rivest successively proposed two hash algorithms named MD and its revised version, MD5. In cryptography, MD5 is widely-used hash function with a 12-bit hash value as output. The input is operated in 512-bit blocks. The MD5 algorithm is designed to be quite fast on 2-bit machines. In addition, it does not require any large substitution tables, that is, it can be coded quite compactly. MD5 is slightly more complex and slower than MD, but it improves the security level in design. The logic of MD5 is described in session 2 in detail. 1.2 SHA family The secure hash algorithm (SHA) family is a set of related cryptographic hash functions and introduced by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). SHA-0, the first member of SHA, was published in 1. SHA-1, an improved version of SHA-0, was published in 15. Four variant models have been issued
by NIST with increased output ranges and a slightly different design: SHA-22, SHA-256, SHA-, and SHA-512. The SHA-1 algorithm is based on principles similar to MD message digest algorithm. It operates on message blocks of 512 bits for which a 160-bit digest is produced. Because the SHA-1digest is 2 bits longer than the MD5 digest, SHA-1 is considerably stronger against attacks. In addition, SHA-1 involves 0 steps to produce a 160-bit buffer compared to 12-bit buffer from MD5. Thus, SHA-1 is slower than MD5. 1.3 RIPEMD-160 The RIPEMD-160 algorithm was developed by the framework of the EU project RIPE (RACE Integrity Primitives Evaluation), and first published in 16. The group originally developed a 12-bit version of RIPEMD, which in turn was based upon the design principles used in MD, and is similar in performance to the more popular SHA-1. There also exist 12, 256 and 20-bit versions of this algorithm, called RIPEMD-12, RIPEMD-256, and RIPEMD-20, respectively. The 12-bit version had been found to have questionable security. And the 256 and 20-bit versions don't have higher levels of security as compared to RIPEMD-12 and RIPEMD-160. The RIPEMD-160 also takes input as a message in 512-bit blocks and return to a 160-bit message digest as output. The added complexity and number of steps of SHA-1and RIPEMD-160 does bring about a slow computation on comparing to MD5. Table 1 [] summarizes features of MD5, SHA-1, and RIPEMD-160. We compare the performance of MD-like hash functions: RIPEMD-160, RIPEMD-12, RIPEMD, SHA-1, MD5, and MD in Table 2[11].

Table 2 performance of MD-like hash functions
Image authentication for digital image evidence
The implementations are written in assembly language optimized for the Pentium processor (0 MHz). It is assumed that both code and data resides in the onchip caches. Under these conditions the cycle figures are independent of the clock speed, and the throughput figures scale with the clock speed. In this paper, we select MD5 as a model to apply to our system because of its faster operation speed than SHA-1 and RIPEMD-160. We describe the method in session 2 and describe our experiments in session . Finally, we give our discussion. 2. Methods 2.1 Hash Functions Hash functions [], H (M), have been used in computer science and information security for a long time. They compress an arbitrary-length input, M, to a string of small and fixed length arbitrarily which generally called hash value (message digest), h, can replace the authenticity of a large amount of information (message) by the authenticity of a much smaller hash value. The hash value is a set of a short string of randomlooking letters and numbers.
2.2 Message Digest 5 Algorithm The MD5 message-digest algorithm was developed by Ron Rivest at MIT and published in April 12. MD5 evolved from its precursor, MD. The algorithm processes a block of data of arbitrary length and produces as output a 12-bit message digest of the input. The input is processes in 512-bit blocks. Fig. 1 shows the flow chart of how MD5 works.
A hash function must have the following properties: 1. H can be performed to any block of data in any size. 2. H produces a small and fixed length of output. . For any generated h, it is computationally infeasible t o f i n d a n y M t o c o n f o r m t h a t H (M) =h i n mathematics. (One-way property) . For any input, M, it is computationally infeasible to find M' to conform that H (M) =H (M'). 5. For any pair (M, M'), it is infeasible to find H (M) =H (M') in mathematics. The third property is the "one-way property". That means the function works in one direction and it's nearly impossible to derive the original text from the string. A one-way hash function is used to create digital signatures, which in turn identify and authenticate the sender and message of a digitally distributed message (hence the name one-way). A good one-way hash function is also collision-free. That means it is hard to create two inputs with the same hash value.
Fig. 1 the flow chart of how MD5 works. The overall structure of a typical secure hash function indicated in Fig. 2[6]. If we have an arbitrarily large message as input and that we want to find its message digest. The processing involves the following steps: 2.2.1 Bit-padding After some initial processing, the message is padded so that its length is 6 bits. The process of padding is a single 1-bit added to the end of the message. Padding is always continued, even if the length of the message
Forensic Science Journal 2006; Vol. 5, No. 1
Fig.2 General Structure of Secure Hash Code [6] is just what we want. For instance, if the input message is bits long, we pad 512 bits to a length of 60 bits. Thus the range of padding bits is from 1 to 512. 2.2.2 Length-appending After padding, a 6-bits binary representation of the original length of the message (before padding) is concatenated to the result of step 1. The bits of the message are extracted successively to form the first 512-bit block. The expanded message will exactly be a multiple of 512-bits. Assume the length of the message is greater than 26, and then only the low-order 6 bits will be used. Let the expanded message be represented as a sequence of L 512-bit blocks Y0, Y1... Yq... YL-1 as shown in Fig. [6]. Note that in the figure, IV and CV represent initial value and chaining variable respectively.

2.2.3 MD buffers initialization A 12-bit buffer in MD5 is used to hold intermediate and final results of hash function. The buffer consists of four 2-bit registers (represented as A, B, C, and D). Thus, if we want to initialize the 12-bit buffer, the relationship equates to initialize four 2-bit registers. Then these registers are initialized to the following 2-bit integers in hexadecimal: A=65201 B=EFCDAB C=BADCFE D=10256 The values are stored in little-endian format,
which means that the least significant byte of the word is arranged in the low-address byte position. The initialization values are shown as follows: Word A: 01 2 5 6 Word B: AB CD EF Word C: FE DC BA Word D: 6 5 2 10 2.2.4 Message-processing This is the most important step of the function. It includes four rounds of processing. The module includes found rounds of processing shown as HMD5 in Fig. and its logic is illustrated in Fig. []. The four rounds have similar structure, but each uses different primitive logical functions (PLFs), referred to as F, G, H and I.

Forensic Science Journal 2006; Vol. 5, No. 1
Round 1:F (B, C, D) = (B^C) ν ((¬B) ^D) Round 2:G (B, C, D) = (B^D) ν (C^ (¬D)) Round :H (B, C, D) =B♁C♁D Round :I (B, C, D) =C♁ (Bν (¬D)) (where ♁, ^ , ν , and ¬ represent the logical XOR, AND,OR, and NOT operations, respectively) Each round consists of a sequence of 16 steps and each step makes use of one-fourth of a 6-element table T [1 ... 6] constructed from the sine function. The ith element denote T[i], which is equal to the integer part of 22 times abs (sin (i)), where i is in radians. The table
provides a randomized set of 2-bit integers to eliminate the regularities in the input data. Each round also takes as input the current 512- bit block (Yq) and the 12-bit buffer value ABCD and updates the contents of the buffer. The output of the final round is added to the input of the first round (CVq) to produce CVq+1.The addition is done for each of the four words in the buffer with each of the corresponding words in CVq, using addition modulo 22. Single step operation is shown in Fig. 5[].
Fig.5 Elementary MD5 Operation (single step). [] 2.2.5 Hash values output After all L 512-bit blocks have been processed, we obtain the output from Lth stage is the 12-bit message digest (hash value). 3. Experiments We use some synthetic and real case images in our experiments. The experiments have three parts: photographs, image authentication and application on forensic examination. 3.1 Photographs We apply some simple steps on images to examine the change of hash values. We extract a color image in three color layers of the original image: red (R), green (G), and blue (B) and its gray level image is shown in Fig. 6. Fig. illustrates the sample for rotation with 0 degrees and its mirror.

3.2 Image authentication We t a m p e r t h e c o n t e n t o f i m a g e e v i d e n c e unscrupulously with Adobe Photoshop CS. For instance, we change original numbers of the license plate (6-HH) to new ones (66-HH) , replace the feature "ridge ending" with "bifurcation" in the fingerprint analysis and hide the main features of other images
(include equipment on the hood, bloodstain and bite mark) respectively to influence their power of evidence. Obviously, no matter what a negligible change we operate on original images, corresponding hash values of modified image are distinct from original ones right away. We show the results in Fig .
Fig.8 Different hash values produced from original and modified images.

3.3 Application on forensic examination Here, we summarize examinational explanations, operating outcomes and the hash values returning from every step. We take footwear impression and fingerprint as examples to simulate the process of forensic
examination. In our experiment, we need to record all of the hash values except steps and parameters to reinforce the image authentication. Our suggestion for forensic image examination steps is shown in Fig. and the result is shown in Fig. 10.

4. Conclusions In this paper, we propose a cryptography based technology that has been publicly applied in information security to assist the examination and analysis of digital image data. The technology provides a unique cipher for every single processed image. We can use the unique cipher (check any change of the cipher) to confirm if the image is modified easily. With the proposed technology, we can strengthen image authentication effectively.

GM looks to combat high theft rates on SUVs with added techTue, 24 Dec 2013 14:30:00 EST
The Cadillac Escalade has been at or near the top of most-stolen and insurance-loss lists for more than seven years, until it dropped to number six earlier this year. In 2011 it was fitted with a host of new security features to address its easy-to-override features and that has brought the number of thefts down, but when eight of the ten most stolen rides are large SUVs from General Motors, no one will argue that something else needs to be done.
Thus, GM has fitted this same theft-deterring tech to the 2015 Suburban, Tahoe and Yukon. The Suburban and Tahoe will get the steering lock that the Escalade and Yukon already get, plus bolted-down third-row seats to deter thefts like this, stronger door lock cylinders and shields, and side-cut keys to inhibit picking.
Additional security measures in a Theft Protection Package can be purchased for $395, consisting of sensors on the greenhouse glass and interior, an incline/tilt sensor and added "key control systems" to make it more difficult for the men in black balaclavas to steal what you bought.
GM recalls 8,500 Chevrolet Malibu models for rear suspension glitchMon, 04 Feb 2013 14:15:00 EST
According to a letter from General Motors to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, flaws in the build process of the 2013 Chevrolet Malibu have led to the recall of 8,519 cars. Units built between December 6, 2011 and January 15, 2013 may have been assembled with rear suspension cradles that had insufficient torque applied to certain bolts. That out-of-spec assembly could lead to issues ranging from slight noises to a loss of vehicle control.
The problem was first noticed in December of last year by a GM test fleet driver and eventually tracked back to the improperly torqued bolts on the suspension cradle assembled through July 2012 by a supplier located not too far from the Malibu's Detroit/Hamtramck Assembly Plant. Since an official NHTSA recall notice has not been issued yet, it isn't clear whether or not Detroit-built Malibus were the only ones affected (the 2013 Malibu is also built at GM's Fairfax Assembly Plant in Kansas City, Kansas). Dealers will fix the problem by inspecting vehicles for proper torque specs, retightening if not within specs and, in some cases, perform a rear-wheel alignment.
Automakers score 8 out of top 20 most-watched ads on YouTube [w/videos]Fri, 14 Dec 2012 20:02:00 EST
Who would have ever thought there'd be a day where people are able to skip television commercials only to go to websites to watch them later? Such is the joy of a DVR and YouTube. AdWeek tabulated the 20 most-watched ads on YouTube, and found that nine were car-related including eight coming from automakers.
Volkswagen continued its Star Wars theme with two ads in the top 20, including the highest-ranking car commercial The Bark Side spot at number three with almost 18 million views, which doesn't even have a single car in it. Some of our favorites are from Chrysler with Clint Eastwood in It's Halftime in America and House Arrest with Charlie Sheen for the Fiat 500 Abarth. Chevrolet, Honda, Audi and Toyota were the other automakers in the top 20, but we'd be remiss if we didn't at least mention one of the coolest ads on the list, the Hot Wheels corkscrew jump.
Of all the car videos, only the Fiat ad wasn't played during a Super Bowl. Check out all eight videos - in order - after the jump. Nike took the top spot with its My Time is Now ad that has been seen online more than 20 million times with Pepsi's Uncle Drew posted up in the runner-up; some of the other videos include four Old Spice commercials and an ad in which Snoop Dogg is pedaling Hot Pockets.

I think its cool how they named the guy MAKO that was the name of the actor who did the voice of Zuko's Uncle Iroh in the original series he was a real big character actor who did a lot of TV shows back in the day, MASH, Mchales Navy, even the old Incredible Hulk show. I Know him best as the hermit wizard Akiro in Conan The Barbarian 1982. He even has his own star on the Walk of Fame. Naming a character after him is a cool way of showing respect. ( Mako Iwamatsu, December 10 1933 - July 27 2006 )
|Posted by Kinsley 4 years, 3 months ago ( Edited 4 years, 3 months ago )
I see that some people are curious to Mako's possible "relation" to Zuko. There is somewhat a relation, but NOT a paternal one. If you really want to know, I suggest reading Avatar: The Last Airbender: THE PROMISE part 1. It's the official comic series that lays out the events right after Aang defeated Ozai. The trilogy comic is suppose to be the filler and lead up to Legend of Korra.
|Posted by cestephens 4 years, 3 months ago
After having my heart crushed by Shamalan's The Last Airbender Movie, it is nice to see that the Avatar cartoon lives on strong. Hopefully we will get to see alot of Aang in the spirit world with Korra like we did with Roku and Aang.

|Posted by wolfspirit 4 years, 1 month ago
Considering the ages of Tenzin who is Aang's and Korra youngest son and Chief Lin Beifong who is Toph's daughter General Iroh can't be Zuko son. He would have to be his grandson, unless he's Azula's but she didn't care for her uncle so that option seems less likely. It is the same voice actor who did the voice of Zuko.

I'm starting to like this as much as Avatar Aang... but it seams episodes are coming out too slowly for me lol

Great view
The Eastern Prom is a large grassy park that slopes down to Casco Bay. The views from up here are some of the nicest in the area!! It's a great place for a picnic, to sit with a book, toss a frisbe, of just watch the ferry boats come and go. At the bottom of the hill is a smal city beach. At high tide it's quite small but mid or low tide makes for nice beach going. Even in the off season it's a nice small stretch of sand for a walk. This is one of my favorite places just to go and be reminded why I live here.

Time for Pacific rugby to go pro
Related Links
Relevant offers
Share your news and views
There comes a time in every younger sibling's life that others are not going to do everything for you anymore, that you must act on your own.
This is what the Pacific Island rugby teams must realise. They must take hold of their own future in the best way possible.
The argument that the New Zealand Rugby Union (NZRU) owes Pacific rugby due to "stealing" their players is misguided; these players consider themselves New Zealanders and the fact that they do is down to natural migration from the Islands.
It only takes a look to the latest census to realise this is not an NZRU poaching issue. Polynesians are gifted athletes and are bound to have a high representation in impact sports.
Earlier this year Zac Guildford criticised the NZRU, saying: "Unfortunately, the Pacific Islands don't have that money so they're being overlooked by the New Zealand Rugby Union, which is a bit sad."
In a way Guildford has a point, but, like his form, it is off the mark. The NZRU is a business and must make money to survive like any other business. If it is unable to make a profit then there will be no wages for players like Guildford.
With the six-nations comprising of England, Ireland, Scotland, Wales, France and Italy, and the Rugby Championship including New Zealand, South Africa, Australia and Argentina, you have 10 out of the top 13 nations in the world are in a settled annual competition.
The likes of Samoa, Fiji, Tonga, Japan, USA and Canada complete the rest of the top 16 spots in the world rankings, and these nations need to put more emphasis on the Pacific Rim Competition. Since this competition's inception in 2006 the teams involved have never been settled, this year we saw USA and Canada join the tournament for the first time, while Samoa opted out to play in South Africa.
Commercial partners invest for a known return, if they are unsure of what future shape the competition will be they will be unlikely to invest great amounts.
There may not be much in the way of money from sponsors and ticket sales within the islands but there is in Japan and the US. If we could guarantee a multi-year tournament with these nations, sell the television rights, sign sponsors that benefit from exposure in these markets, there would be income to grow the game.
Games could also be played in Auckland or Brisbane where there are large Polynesian communities.
Japan and USA are in the sights of the NZRU for extra income and they are considering them for a possible inclusion into Super Rugby, I personally hope they don't. There are many reasons for this but one reason is that once this income from the Pacific Rim comes rolling in, they need to create a Super Rugby / Heineken cup-type tournament (the club competitions of the Rugby Championship and six-nations' countries respectively).
With one team from the likes of Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, three from Japan and two each from the western coast of Canada and USA, a 10-team competition to develop depth within these countries for the players that haven't left to go to the riches of Europe, and possibly to entice some of these players back with the extra income that they would now likely have. The Islands would benefit from Japan and the US the same way that New Zealand benefits from the money generated from South Africa's involvement in Super Rugby.
I am also a great believer in a Pacific Islanders rugby team. We see how immense an occasion the Lions tour is, and while the Pacific nations wouldn't have the legions of fans traveling with them that the Lions do, what they could offer is a team that would play attractive football and compete in a three-match series against arguably the best nations on their home turf.
We saw this year when the Lions toured Australia and France toured New Zealand, we had a very one-sided quadrangular tournament with South Africa playing Italy, Samoa and a weakened Scotland. How electrifying would it be to see the Pacific nations playing one of these nations every four years? The British and Irish nations don't lose their identity with a tour every four years and I don't think the Islands would either; they have experimented with this on three occasions playing various teams in 2004, 2006 and 2008. Yet again commercial partners need to have some guarantee of what the future holds for a significant investment, so there needs to be some kind of structure.
It is time for the Pacific nations to forget their amateur mindset and embrace the professional climate in the best way possible. They need the NZRU to share their business model with them and to learn from this.

Oakland Long Wharf
The Oakland Long Wharf, later known as the Oakland Pier or the SP Mole, was a massive railroad wharf and ferry pier along the east shore of San Francisco Bay, in Oakland, California. It was located at the foot of Seventh Street in West Oakland. There were actually three piers. One for the Southern Pacific, one for the Western Pacific, and one for the Key System.
The pier began as a smaller landing named Gibbon's Wharf, which extended from Gibbons Point (present day Oakland Point), westward into San Francisco Bay.
- Central Pacific
In 1868 the Central Pacific Railroad acquired this pier which it renamed the Oakland Long Wharf and immediately began extending and improving. The CPRR floated freight to San Francisco starting in 1871. Part of the wharf was filled in between 1879 and 1882, creating a mole. Local commuter trains also used the pier, while trains of the Pacific Railroad (aka: "First Transcontinental Railroad") used another wharf in nearby Alameda for about two months in 1869 (September 6 - November 7), after which the Oakland Long Wharf became the western terminus of the Pacific Railroad as well. From there San Francisco Bay ferries carried both commuters and long distance passengers between the Long Wharf and San Francisco.
- Southern Pacific
The Central Pacific's operations were consolidated under the Southern Pacific in the 1880s, and in 1882 the Oakland Pier was opened about a half-mile east of the west end of the Long Wharf Mole, which was then used only for freight until being abandoned in 1919. Freight trains served docks just south of the train shed after the original was abandoned. The mole became one of the busiest piers in the United States. A huge stained-glass window of the SP logo was placed on the western end of the train shed in 1929. When the building was demolished, it was carefully removed and put in storage. Today you can see it at the California State Railroad Museum in Sacramento, CA.
- Commuter trains
After January 15, 1939 the electric commuter trains of the East Bay Electric Lines no longer ran to the Oakland Pier but instead used tracks on the lower deck of the new San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, running to the Transbay Terminal in San Francisco. Intercity passenger trains continued to run to Oakland Pier until 1958 when Southern Pacific ferry service from the Ferry Building in San Francisco to Oakland Pier was discontinued, replaced by buses over the Bay Bridge from Oakland's 16th Street Station.
Throughout the pier's existence, progressively greater portions of the bayshore tidelands were filled in. It was demolished in the 1960s to make way for an expansion of the growing container ship facilities of the Port of Oakland. The only structure that remains of the Oakland Long Wharf is the SP Mole's switchman's tower, which was restored and moved to Middle Harbor Shoreline Park.
In popular culture[edit]
The mole in its latter years can be seen at the beginning of the 1957 movie Pal Joey as Frank Sinatra's character arrives by train and makes his way to the ferry.

United States gross domestic product increased 1.2 percent in second quarter 2016, according to the "advance" estimate from the Department of Commerce, following a revised increase of just 0.8 percent in the first quarter.

The Dubai-based port terminal operator signed a 30-year lease with Port Saint John on the East Coast of Canada to operate its West Side Container Terminal, DP World and port officials said in a joint statement Thursday.

Both carriers have refuted analyst reports that industry leader Maersk Line intends not just to bring Hyundai Merchant Marine into the 2M Alliance it shares with MSC, but to merge with or buy the struggling South Korean line.
Ocean carrier Hyundai Merchant Marine joining the 2M Alliance - comprised of Maersk Line and MSC - has fueled speculation about Maersk's ultimate motives, but the short term impact is a larger share on the transpacific trade, especially from Korea.
The intermodal center, which is scheduled to commence operations in the late summer of 2018, will enable shippers from surrounding states to more easily reach the Port of Savannah by rail instead of truck, the Georgia Ports Authority said.

Title: Native moss to fill in between flagstones
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I live in Houston and have a long, narrow flagstone path that runs along the east side of the house. I am looking for a native moss that can fill in between the flagstones and will tolerate morning sun and afternoon shade. They are selling a low growing moss at the local Lowe's, but no one can tell me if it will thrive here in Houston. Also am wondering how low maintenance moss will be once established.
The requirement for thriving for most mosses is shade and moisture. However, there are a few native mosses that will grow in the sun, go dormant when dry, and revive again when moisture is available. There is no way for us to tell how the Lowe's moss will perform unless we know its botanical name. Also, unless we know its name, we can't tell you whether or not it is native. If your flagstone area is mostly shaded and remains generally moist, however, I would think the moss would at least survive, if not thrive.
We can recommend a few low-growing vascular plants (mosses are non-vascular), in lieu of the mosses, that would fill in between your flagstones and grow well in both sun and partial shade.

Wellington building consents were weak last month, with 81 new dwellings approved at a total of $25 million, down from 99 homes at $29m for the same period last year.
Nationwide, building consents rose by about a quarter in the year to February. They were boosted by new apartments and retirement village units being approved for construction.
According to the latest Statistics New Zealand data, 1493 homes gained consent in February. This was up 24 per cent from 1204 properties the same time a year earlier. The total value of construction consented nationwide was $454m last month, up from $353m.
There were 142 new apartments consented last month including 98 retirement village units. The bulk of the apartments, 130, were in Auckland.
ANZ senior economist Mark Smith said that seasonally adjusted, February consents were up 1.9 per cent from January but down 3.6 per cent if apartments were excluded.
"While monthly figures are volatile the trend is still pointing up, with the floor area of residential issuance up 2.8 per cent in the three months to February. The recovery is off historically weak levels, with dwelling consent numbers around 25 per cent below historical averages as a proportion of the housing stock, as compared to 41 per cent below averages back in February 2012."
With 350 new homes approved in February, Canterbury had the second-largest lift after Auckland.
Earthquake-related building consents slumped to $35m including 55 houses and $9m of non-residential properties, the lowest since April 2012.
"Since 4 September 2010, almost 3900 earthquake-related consents have been identified in Canterbury, totalling $888m," Statistics New Zealand statistician Geoff Bascand said in a report.
"This includes 714 new dwellings, of which 150 were relocatable units. Also included are alterations and additions for residential buildings, non-residential buildings, and non-building construction. Demolitions and seismic strengthening work are excluded."
ASB Institutional economist Christina Leung said that earthquake rebuilding in Canterbury and demand in Auckland were driving the rise in consents.
"Given the delay between consents and construction, the housing market was expected to be tight for most of this year, she said.
The value of non-residential consents nationwide fell a quarter to $285m, 18 per cent of which were office buildings and another 17 per cent were education buildings. Storage, industrial and factory buildings made up 13 per cent.

The jeans bar in Barneys Co-op still has the advantage in breadth of brands, but connoisseurs who shop for reasons beyond convenience are coming here for their denim. The 1,800-square-foot shop next to Stella McCartney is decorated in Early Redneck, with unfinished wood shelves and racks of leather jackets, but the yokel stops there. There are only a few styles available to men or women: a classic straight cut and a relaxed fit, cut from premium Japanese denim in deep indigo. But then you choose various treatments and finishing techniques to create your unique, singular distress pattern. A little bit of fade around the knees? A full-on blast, complete with hanging threads and busted seams? You choose. Either way, a finished pair takes about a week, and costs between $260 and $620. But hey, that's not much more than you'd pay for something everyone else has.

Sorry to be pedantic, but RS485 is NOT a protocol, it is an electrical spec for a multidrop capable differential communication interface, which the MAX481 implements. Any number of protocols can and are run over RS485 - master/slave, TDMA, CSMACD, … LinkSprite may have a protocol they like to run over this, but I haven't looked. Achieving those performance numbers requires great care w/ termination and cabling - reflections are not your friend. Thanks.
No public wish lists :(
