Westpac in coming days is set to launch NFC payments on an embedded chip in the Samsung Galaxy S4 and
One of Australia's big four banks, Commonwealth Bank consolidated its smartphone apps into a single CommBank app, with versions for Android, iOs and Windows.
NFC Times Exclusive: MasterCard Worldwide has moved forward with its deal with Samsung Electronics to enable its PayPass application on embedded chips in Samsung NFC phones, NFC Times has learned.
China Merchants Bank, one of China's largest commercial banks, enables customers to download its CMB mobile wallet on three Samsung NFC devices and recharge the payment application stored on the embed
MasterCard Worldwide is the latest payment scheme to work with Samsung Electronics, with plans to soon offer its PayPass application for embedded chips in new Samsung NFC phones, NFC Times has learned.
BARCELONA – Visa and Samsung Electronics have announced a landmark agreement that will see a Visa payWave application preloaded on the embedded secure elements in forthcoming NFC-enabled Samsung devices.
Germany-based Giesecke & Devrient was no doubt glad to close the books on 2013, a year in which it saw substantial job cuts and changes in management and–as it reported Wednesday–lower sales and profitability.
France-based Inside Secure has acquired encryption and software security company Metaforic in a cash deal worth at least $11.6 million, which Inside Secure says will help equip it to offer security services for host-card emulation-based mobile payments.
NFC Times Exclusive: All publicly traded vendors across the NFC ecosystem have filed their year-end earnings reports, and the results show a mixed bag of promising sales for contactless and EMV technology, continued restructuring and expected challenges ahead with the advent of host-card emulation.
China's No. 3 mobile operator, China Telecom, has selected a list of six SIM vendors for its large planned rollout of NFC services.
Inside Secure is selling its next generation NFC controller technology to chip maker Intel, as well as an expanded license, for $19.2 million, though will keep most of its NFC patents and embedded chip technology.
BNP Paribas, one of France's largest banks, today announced its long-anticipated nationwide rollout of NFC payments, making Visa-branded debit cards available to customers on SIM cards issued by France's two largest mobile operators and a couple of smaller brands.
In the first full year since a takeover ousted former CEO and co-founder Oded Bashan, Israel-based NFC and contactless company On Track Innovations showed some progress in its efforts to turn around the chronically unprofitable company, in part by focusing on sales of contactless point-of-sale terminals.
A second of Australia's big four banks, Westpac Banking Corp., said it will finally be ready to launch its long-planned NFC contactless payments service with Visa using embedded chips in Samsung phones by the end of April, the bank told NFC Times.
NFC Times Exclusive: Mobile network operators will take delivery of at least two-thirds more NFC SIMs this year than in 2013, predicts operator trade association, the GSMA, though the impact of host-card emulation remains to be seen.
U.S.-based Identive reported significant restructuring and job cuts in the fourth quarter, along with increased sales for NFC and other RFID tags–but still no profit.
The NFC Forum has issued a statement of support for host-card emulation at its all-member meeting this week in San Francisco, calling HCE a "promising addition to the portfolio of NFC solutions that could potentially accelerate market growth."
NFC Times Exclusive: Tenders are due tomorrow from vendors in response to a request for proposal for Taiwan's second planned centralized trusted service management platform–this one from Taiwanese banking groups, which formed a mobile-payments joint venture late last month.

He has kept his net cleaner than anyone in college hockey. Yet when it comes to filling the net, Eric Hartzell admits he is no match for his mom.
"I still can't beat her in a game of P-I-G or H-O-R-S-E," the Quinnipiac goalie said Saturday in Hamden before the No. 2 team in the nation practiced at High Point Solutions Arena.
Mary Beth Bidinger scored 50 points once in 1978 for little Morton, Minn., High. She averaged 32 her senior year, briefly held the state career scoring record and was one of five finalists for Minnesota Miss Basketball. She earned a scholarship to the University of Minnesota.
"The day the Gophers went to recruit her she scored 50," Eric said. "She's a natural athlete and does not like to lose. A lot of my mind-set comes from my mom's side.
"I remember my dad saying he saw her play basketball once and was hooked on her ever since … the little creep he is."
Hartzell breaks into a big laugh. Within minutes of meeting the Hobey Baker nominee, you know the hottest goalie in college hockey is also a hot ticket. The big guy has a big personality. Idiosyncratic? A free spirit? Sure.
"After all," his coach Rand Pecknold said, "he is a goalie."
He also is the son of former Minnesota hockey captain Kevin Hartzell, who would coach Eric two years with the Sioux Falls [S.D.] Stampede USHL junior team before he committed to Quinnipiac in 2009. Recruited by Herb Brooks, Kevin played on the 1979 NCAA champions, had 140 career points and was the Gophers' team captain in 1981-82.
Kevin was listed at 5-11 as a player. Eric says mom is 5-11 and her brothers are "are 6-3, 6-4, big farm boys." So, yes, at 6-4, 190 pounds, there are athletically dominant genes at work here. There also has been a long road to maturity for Eric Hartzell.
The numbers indicate how far he has come. Hartzell leads the nation with a 1.46 goals against average and 18 victories [18-2-3]. He is 10th in save percentage at .934 and tied for second with four shutouts. He hasn't lost a start since Oct. 27.
"Hartzy's sophomore and junior years, he was good," Pecknold said. "He was inconsistent at times. He was awesome at times. He really needed to mature and get more focused. This year the big difference is he is great and focused every day in practice and it translates into the games."
These are some heady times at Quinnipiac. Yes, Pecknold has had some very good teams. The Bobcats briefly rose as high as No. 4 on Nov. 30, 2009. But this season is fixing to be something special. Riding a 17-game unbeaten streak and 11-0-1 record in ECAC Hockey, Quinnipiac is No. 2 in both national polls. With No. 1 Minnesota losing Friday, the Bobcats could be atop those polls come Monday. There is plenty of attention these days on the patch of ice in the shadow of Sleeping Giant mountain.
"We've had good media coverage over the years, but nothing like this," said Pecknold, who counted 17 interviews the past week. "It has been relentless. It has been overwhelming. It's also great for our program and the university. This is why we built this rink. This is why we wanted to go big-time in hockey."
For Minnesota kids, big-time hockey long has meant the Gophers or North Dakota. And North Dakota did show interest in Hartzell.
"Zach Hansen, who was my neighbor growing up [in White Bear Lake], played here," Hartzell said. "I talked to him about it all. When I came on my visit, the beauty of the area and the amazing facility was an eye-opener. As as soon as North Dakota called and said it was going in a different direction, it was an easy decision. I jumped at Quinnipiac."
Hansen and Jake Bauer, another former Quinnipiac player, played for Hartzell's dad in Sioux Falls.
"I probably talked to Kevin more before Eric got here," Pecknold said. "As a coach, he knows sometimes parents can be a little overbearing. He knows if I need him I'll call him, or if he needs me he can call me. That's what I would do with my son. Kevin has been to a bunch of games. He's a great guy. He's a great coach."
He's also an effective writer. Ousted as Sioux Falls coach in 2012, Kevin has been writing for Let'sPlayHockey.com and in one of his blog posts he discussed Eric's trials as a freshman. How he won a few games early. How he got sick and lost out to Dan Clarke. How frustrations mounted when he didn't play at all in the second half of the season. How they talked and avoided pointing fingers. For any parent with a young athlete, these are sage words.
"He is both my father and my coach figure," Eric said. "My dad changed his major to psychology after he talked to Herb Brooks and found out what his major had been. He looked up to Herb Brooks, looked at him as a role model. That's how I look at my dad."
Kevin did write that Eric at one point was immature for his age.

Agricultural Research Service scientists at Fort Collins, Colo., are ushering farmers into an age of limited water supplies for irrigation.
New research results on variations in corn root width, depth and density may have an impact on irrigation management decisions, say Mark Sponsler, CEO of the Colorado Corn Growers Association, which is funding the ongoing study.
Sitting forward at his desk in Tyner, N.C., Dan Ward, of the C.A. Perry & Son farm operation, leans on his elbows and uses his index finger and thumb to punch in a series of numbers on his cell phone.
After growing up in the nursery business, Dan Batson earned two degrees in ornamental horticulture from Mississippi State University and started his career in Louisiana before returning home to make his living among the trees.
Finding a silver lining in a dry year isn't easy. Rings of shorter, stressed corn or soybeans in a pivot-irrigated field mean lost yield in those locations, but they also point the way to problems with nozzles, sprinklers or other water delivery problems that can be fixed before or early in the next season.
For generations, irrigated producers on the Texas High Plains figured "fill 'er up" was the best way to preplant irrigate. When irrigation pumping capacity was more robust, specialists encouraged farmers to fill the top 3 feet of the soil profile.
Joe Reinart has found a way to use water more efficiently in his corn production near Stratford, Texas, that involves the calendar and planter as much as sprinkler pivots.
Examining the very narrow temperature range in which plants thrive, researchers have amassed years of knowledge and combined it with modern technology to ease decision-making for irrigators.
Water management is vital to farming the arid regions of western Nebraska. University of Nebraska researchers hope that the addition of a 1,280-acre West Central Water Resources Field Lab near Brule will help them find answers to the questions farmers and ranchers need to know.
Dozens of sensors and a crop-consulting firm keeps thousands of acres of corn properly irrigated each summer in north-central Indiana. Brian Kunce, Pro-Tech Partners, based at Leiters Ford, helps make sure irrigators understand sensor data.
Advancing technology is making it easier than ever to monitor your center pivot status, but you don't necessarily need the latest bells and whistles to eyeball some problems in your system early in the season.
With high grain prices, farmers need yield uniformity across their field to take full advantage of their input expenses, including irrigation. In Nebraska, pivots have become the norm, comprising around 82% of irrigation systems, compared to only 60% a decade ago.
A group of vegetable growers from different regions of Australia toured California's Salinas Valley recently and saw how vegetable farmers did everything from irrigation to harvest. Some of their findings surprised them.
In 2010, J.J. Long joined the small but emerging variable-rate irrigation club to manage a pivot circle with "wildly varying soil types." Half of the circle seldom reached his yield expectations. "It never seemed to get enough water," he says.

Expedition to Northern Tibet, Part 2: Where the Wild Yak Roams
Kiang live up here.
We're in the highest, most desolate section of Tibetan Plateau; a place no one lives and very few visit. And yet even here we're accompanied by oddly domestic shapes. Kiang, or Tibetan wild ass (Equus kiang), are a strikingly coloured relative of the donkey; their red-brown backs contrasting sharply with white flanks, belly, legs, neck and muzzle.
They can survive more arid conditions than any other large mammal on the plateau, and like their less-wild cousins, are masters at finding food where there appears to be none. Their equine shape and canter are familiar even to someone who has spent very little time with horses.
As we struggle with our bike and trailers, slouching exhausted every couple of hundred meters, the domestication of equines seems like one of our species smartest achievements.
A big part of the Chinese government's motivation for creating these nature preserves (Kekexili and Aerjinshan) was protection for the endangered Tibetan antelope or chiru (Pantholops hodgsoni). With slender arched horns the colour of ebony, chiru are an attractive antelope. But it is their pelts that are the cause of their decline. To deal with extreme cold, chiru have an extraordinarily fine and soft undercoat, known as Shahtoosh. Considered among the most luxurious and prized of all animal fibres, a shawl made of Shahtoosh can supposedly be passed through a wedding ring.
Poaching of these antelope – dramatized in the haunting film Kekexili Mountain Patrol – has pushed the small remaining population to the highest and most remote parts of the Tibetan Plateau.

Furloughs Cut Into Classtime At U.S. Military Bases
By Ben Bradford
Originally published on Thu July 18, 2013 4:31 pm
Civilian furloughs have begun at U.S. military installations worldwide. The mandatory days off without pay, prompted by the current round of budget cuts known as sequestration, are looming over Defense Department-run schools that serve the children of military families. For teachers at the nation's most populous Army base, Fort Bragg, cuts mean no new textbooks and a loss of school days.

GNOME 3 Delayed Until 2011
If you're looking forward to the next desktop environment, you'll have to wait until March.
Members of the GNOME project gathered at the GUADEC conference in the Netherlands this week where they announced that GNOME 3, the next iteration of the popular open source desktop environment would be delayed until March 2011.
This delays the project by a year, as it's original release was schedule for March 2010. That launch was then pushed back to September 2010, but now, the GNOME project will now issue another incremental update in September.
"GNOME is driven by its goals to provide a quality free software desktop, and we feel that our users and downstream community are better served by holding the GNOME 3.0 release until March 2011," the GNOME project said via an official statement.
Still much progress has been made in the desktop environment, which will introduce a new user interface built on JavaScript and the Clutter framework. Users can download early versions of the Shell package from Launchpad.
Gnome 3: Worth to waitGnome 3 is really worth to wait it is easier to use and ranking them on familiarity for existing GNOME users, performance, good features, extensibility, and compatibility. The principle of "everybody trying to deliver everything and anything to anyone" should be abandoned. No need to spend resources on that when the audience is desktop users because i have searched other people using Gnome 3 now and others that prefer another like Time is better spent improving the parts that matters for desktop users. But Application is not about "Learning". What user really Need, is something that Works as the best as there can be. If you just want to look it better or newer just change the Graphic. Do i make sense?

Jeanie Clough, a spokeswoman with Milwaukee-based Interior Systems, presented the board at its regular meeting today with re-imagined cafeteria space for Saks High School, Saks Middle School, Weaver High School and Alexandria High School. Clough said the proposed projects are designed to make the cafeteria space mimic the look and feel of modern restaurants to encourage students to eat more meals at the schools.
"We can't beat them, so let's copy them," Clough said, explaining Interior Systems' approach to making school lunchrooms resemble popular fast food franchises like McDonald's and KFC.
Clough showed off examples of Interior Systems' previous work, ranging from schools in rural Iowa to Compton High School in Los Angeles. Renovation projects typically involve input from school officials and students and often take into consideration school colors and mascots and branding.
"Most of us in this room are over the age of 50," Clough said. "And when we make decisions on spaces used by 14-, 15-, and 16-year-olds, it's important they're involved in the process."
Clough said recent changes to lunchroom menus, which are meant to encourage students to make healthy choices, often have the unintended effect of driving students elsewhere to get their meals. Interior Systems' approach tries to invite students back into school lunchrooms.
Although the projects still need more input and design before the board can approve any renovation, Clough said she estimated the cost of renovating the Alexandria High School cafeteria would cost the board just under $200,000.
The board today also viewed edited footage of Superintendent Joe Dyar presenting the Alabama Board of Education with Calhoun County's new flexible graduation plan at a meeting last month. Calhoun County's new plan, allowing students to waive certain graduation requirements and finish classes earlier, is the first to be approved by the State Board of Education under the recently passed Alabama Accountability Act.
The board is scheduled to meet again on Aug. 22.

The Tellers are always friendly! Ive never day issues! The new daily overdraft fee a lot of people don't know is actually to benefit most! If u think about it most people have multiple ways of accessing their account. If you overdraft it you normally now within the day that you did. So instead of charging people for $35.00 an item times 5 transactions they charge u 1 $28.00 dollar fee. Now even if u only overdraft by one item that is still over then the $35.00 dollar fee. So all the bank is asking u to do is checks your account on a regular basis. Doesn't seem that hard right? On top of that there are many ways to avoid getting those fees in the first place! More basic knowledge don't spend more then u have and your fine, common sense right. So for all those people that complain about overdraft fees use your brain and ive found out that as long as your not screaming at people they are willing to help u if their is a mistake on your account! So if everyone just uses their brain once in a while u should have no issue right. Again common sense!
TCF Bank is the worst bank I have ever dealt with. They constantly change their policies on what fees will be charged, how they are assessed, and how to read them when they are applied to your account. The customer service is horrible and the employee turn around rate is very high (They must treat their employees bad too)! I will be closing my account as soon as I can get to a location.
They charge you every chance they can, i had items in pending and the order they were in i should have been charged 1 overdraft fee of $37. Well they took and changed it around so they could get me 4 times 1 day then 2 times the second even though i brought them cash before 3:00 pm. The teller told me i'd be fine since i brought cash & wouldn't get od fees, well they didn't honor that, they charged me anyhow. They just take any trust you have in their bank and wipe their butts with it. Plus they don't have allot to offer like a credit union or normal bank like visas or loans. Just stay away, they don't know how to treat their customers. The ceo or the higher ups are not so bad but talking to one is impossible. Your best option if you do bank tcf & have problems is to write a letter. The staff at these fly by night branches are youngsters that obey the computer, don't believe in the customer or that we are always right. They're just scared little kids at a job they know nothing about except how to do basic math. Good luck to all that don't heed my advice.

Pleated Gingham Skirt: A pretty, swingy skirt in light-as-air cotton voile. It's perfect for those who love the flowing look of a maxi skirt, but prefer a shorter length.

Rating: 4.20 out of 5 votes cast
The cutest skirt!
I wore this for Easter and I got SO many compliments. It's very comfy and is perfect for spring/summer. The only bummer is it's not fun to iron after washing.
Deephaven, MN
Black/White Gingham Skirt
I love this skirt. I love how it looks on the model. I keep checking frequently on your web-site to see what your inventory is like re: this particular skirt. I wear a size 6... when you have this print in stock, you have the larger sizes or none in stock. When & if you get a size 6 Black/White Gingham... I will immediately buy it. I love the look (and I'm not a gingham-sort of gal).Thanks!
McPherson, KS
So Pretty
I purchased the black and pink floral print and it looks just as pictured. True to size. Very feminine.
Warner Robins, GA
Great skirt
I love this skirt. I love that it is lined and and I love the way it swings. Rather retro and perfect. The finish is not the best, loose threads and edges here and there, but I would still recommend it.

Miles City MT
Needs Serious Alteration
The color is beautiful, but the fit and the construction are off. The hips of the underskirt run quite small, and, consequently, the waistband is two inches too big on me. The choice to have the edging on the outside is not a good look. I will be taking this to my seamstress and having her take a couple of inches out of the waistband, and then turn the voile overskirt inside out so that the seams do not show. It would also be nice to have this available in the pastel shades of pink, blue, green, purple, coral, and yellow.

Portland >Food & Dining > Dan & Louis Oyster Bar
208 SW Ankeny St, Portland, OR | Directions 9720445.522495 -122.672607
Sunday To Wednesday From 11:00 AM To 09:00 PM Thursday To Saturday From 11:00 AM To 02:00 AM
Neighborhoods: Old Town - Chinatown, Neighbors West - Northwest
What we had was quite tasty, I had the seafood medley, and our group of 10 pretty much covered the menu and save the two who weren't seafood lovers, everyone was happy.
Lots of little quirks here. Go take a little tour of the restaurant to see all the displays on the wall ranging from old photographs to decorative plates all related to the sea. Food wasn't too bad, but wasn't extraordinary. We had a nice brunch here though. I like how it's located in an alley.
The best, freshest, briniest oysters ever. Go at Happy Hour. Fun place. The service is good although they are very busy, so sometimes a little wait for a new drink. But overall great place.
My son and I went for dinner and it was a most tasty experience. I had a cup of the smoked salmon chowder and it would knock your socks off. I went light as I was still full from an earlier meal. My son went after the broiled cod fish dinner, which was excellent. I highly recommend this establishment if you're ever in Portland.
We stopped here for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the oysters in the half shell.
During the summer they have a fantastic outdoor casual seating area. Fantastically classic chowder. Great inexpensive place to swing by for a quick dinner
I've only had Oysters a couple of times, but this by was far my best experience with them. That had a decent beer selection, and a full bar. We had to wait an extra 5 minutes for our bread but it was totally worth it when a basket of steaming sourdough bread was brought to us. Delicious. As I said, i'm not a huge Oyster connoisseur but these tasted fantastic.
Nice size dishes. Presentation is everything. Hadn't been here in years. Took some out of town friends to check out our seafood.
This place has been in Portland for Forever and you can tell the interior is very eclectic. Its a little dark inside or at least the area we were seated in was. Very enjoyable dinner. Oysters were excellant, very clean!
Great local place that is unpretentious, family restaurant with honest food.

Arc flash system uses trip signal to minimize damage
The Multilin A60 Arc Flash System uses a trip signal to minimize damage to medium-voltage switchgear and motor control center applications.
GE's (NYSE: GE) Multilin A60 Arc Flash System uses light and pressure wave detection technology to quickly and reliably detect and initiate a trip signal in the event of an arc flash condition. By initiating the trip signal, the Multilin A60 helps minimize equipment damage and reduce the costs associated with unplanned downtime and lost production.
Designed for medium-voltage switchgear and motor control center applications, the Multilin A60 is a protection relay independent, stand-alone device that can be used in new or existing installations for continuous monitoring and fast detection of an arc flash event. Its design includes five arc flash sensors for optimal coverage and its scalability allows multiple Multilin A60 devices to be connected, delivering increased fault isolation for reduced equipment damage. The Multilin uses sensor auto-calibration, eliminating the need for CT connections or setup software, reducing total operation and maintenance costs.
The Multilin A60 comes equipped with a self-test feature that monitors the health of the sensors, the full length of the fiber cables and the unit itself, eliminating the need for periodic testing.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts Meets My Expectations And Will Be On Fire Today
The Investment Doctor • Thu, Mar. 13 • 3 Comments
- Krispy Kreme recorded a free cash flow of almost $35M in FY2014 which is $1M more than my expectations.
- As the store count will increase by 10% in FY2015, I anticipate an increased free cash flow this year.
- Krispy Kreme is trading a bit expensive now and I would not recommend to buy stock, but writing some put options could be a good trading idea.

I, personally, enjoy reading the recently published diabetes research. We subscribe to several journals which publish findings from doctors and other researchers.
We've have been producing this journal for seven years now. I've watched many issues come and go. For years we were told that islet cell transplants will cure diabetes - available next year. For years we were told that non-invasive meters will test our blood sugar painlessly - available next year. In 1993 we reported on the insulin patch, which would replace injections. We were told then that it was "99%" done. It's now five years later and still no patch.
I try to not give as much room anymore to someone with a mere possibility for the future. The future has come and gone with no product in sight for several of the inventions we have presented. Now we try to avoid printing about other people's "pipe dreams." We also try to bring accountability to stories you read about in the general press. Yet I still think it's important to provide hope with articles about emerging new technologies. Sometimes it's tough to separate the wheat from the chaff, or the steak from the sizzle.
I wanted to share with you some published findings which I think need closer examination - questions which beg for answers.
Some reports seem to bring up more questions than answers.
Dr. Bognetti in Milan, Italy has confirmed Dr. Elliotte Joslin's finding (in 1925) that children with diabetes were taller at onset of the disease than their nondiabetic peers. This trend reverses itself though. During the first years their growth decreases, no matter what their blood sugar control.
In a letter in the same issue of Diabetes Care, August 1998, Dr. Iafusco warns that all type 1s should be tested for celiac disease every few years. Celiac disease is an allergic response to eating wheat products, which causes inflammation in the gut. Five and one-half percent of Dr. Iafusco's type 1 patients had celiac disease, which caused hypoglycemia. Insulin was reduced by as much as 60 percent to prevent hypoglycemia. Sticking to a gluten-free diet caused their insulin requirements to be increased to the non-celiac patient level!
In the July 1998 issue of Diabetes Care, Dr. Karvonen describes how type 1 diabetes seems to present in "seasons." In younger kids, age 0-9, the highest incidence of diabetes in the autumn. Other studies have confirmed this, with some reports showing boys get diabetes in a season different from girls.
In the May 1998 issue of Diabetes Care, Dr. Lima asserted that 25 to 38 percent of people with type 2 diabetes are deficient in magnesium. The study goes on to say that the prolonged use of magnesium in high doses is needed to improve control in type 2 diabetes!
In 1992, Diabetes Care reported that the nitrates in Colorado drinking water may play a role in getting diabetes. In looking at 63 counties in Colorado, they found a positive correlation for developing diabetes if nitrates are present in the water. Nitrates in the water lead to the formation of nitrosamines, which can damage the insulin-producing beta cells, leading to diabetes!
The July 1998 issue of Diabetologia warned of a potential risk associated with oral insulin. (One arm of a current NIH study has pre-diabetics eating insulin to see if it can stave off diabetes.) This approach seemed to work in mice, but now Dr. Bellmann has tried it in rats and reports that oral insulin can promote getting diabetes, rather than protect from it development.
It is difficult for us living with the disease to find our way through these paradoxes and oddities. We fear trying the latest trick because tomorrow we may hear of its dangers. Scientific developments bring hope, yet also years of waiting.
I believe knowledge is the key to fighting diabetes and will continue to provide our readers with knowledge. I think back to my early experiences of diabetes and how far we have come in treating ourselves. Knowing that science is a journey helps me to follow the endless circle of research reports. I know that every step along the journey helps to get to the final destination.

Reemergence of the Neo-Malthusians: A Guest Post

I blew the dust off my copy of 'The Limits to Growth', and reminded myself that in 1971, the Club of Rome told us that 'unchecked and disastrous growth' would lead us to disaster sometime early in this century, and that if we didn't act within the decade (i.e. the 1970s) it would be too late.
It was all backed by a state-of-the-art world system simulation using the most powerful computers available, at MIT. They checked every contingency. There was no way out.
Of course we didn't take their advice. Now, according to their simulations, our natural resources are 60% depleted, industrial production has peaked and is declining, as is food supply.
And it's far too late to do anything about it.
Oddly enough, one of their conferences was in Rio. Two things never change; the sky never stops falling, and the chicken littles prefer to gather somewhere sunny and exotic to cluck about it.

This week's prompt in The Book of Me is Grandparents. I never knew my four grandparents very well so when I'm asked about my grandparents, I often focus on the great-grandparents who helped raised me: Therese McGinnes Austin and John Ralph Austin.
These two people had such a monumental influence on my life, especially after my parents separated and then divorced in the late 1960s. I remember so much from my weekly visits to their house in Grahamsville, New York:
- The large Dutch farmhouse built in the 1840s.
- Grandma's handmade quilts in each bedroom upstairs (there were four large rooms).
- All the "old stuff" which fascinated me. Stuff like curious, clocks, furniture and more.
- The lack of television and where conversation was more important than the boob tube.
- Sunday dinners with the fold out dining table which converted from a simple entry way table to seating 12 people.
- Learning about family history and all the stories of my ancestors.

I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this, but I had some video and audio clips that I had to run through a converter and it added to their file names with their encode settings, etc. When I went to burn the clips to a DVD using Encore CS4, it kept crashing on me when it went to transcode the files.
At first I assumed the files were corrupted or had some sort of problem with the way they had been encoded, so I re-exported them out of the conversion software a number of times using different settings. Each time Encore would crash when it went to transcode them. I even tried restarting the computer in Windows XP mode (rather than Windows 7 64-bit) where I have Encore CS3 installed and it was crashing as well.
Finally, I shortened the file names (just a guess on my part) and they all worked without a problem.
Has anyone else experienced this problem? If Encore had an error message come up to indicate the file name were too long, that would have been helpful.
I have not seen it with long file names, but have with certain, seldom used characters (at least in file names), and also with spaces. I've taken to using the underscore, instead of spaces, like it used to be. So far, no issues. Now, I usually have rather short file names, so maybe I have just never exceeded some limit.
Good luck, and thank you for reporting,
I of course do not have a link, but I do (vaguely) remember this being discussed on the old forum... along with what Hunt mentions about odd characters or spaces in the file names
Since Encore uses Sonic parts for some (most?) of the work... and since Sonic does not communicate well with Encore when there are errors... bad or no error messages are simply a way of life when using Encore
John T., it was that discussion, between Jbowden, Neil Wikles and Jeff Bellune, IIRC, that led me to always use the underscore, though I had never encountered a problem myself. When those folk list possible problems, I try to listen. That was probably in the old forum and it's now lost and gone forever. Neil was citing several filename incompatibilities based on Sonic Scenarist, and it was postulated that similar issues could exist with the Sonic Authorcore. In that discussion, the underscore solved issues for the OP, and over time, many more dropped by to say thanks, as it had solved their problems too. Great thing about these fora, but brings sadness to me that so very much was lost.
At least I was able to finally read every post (except for the Mac Error Messages sub-forum), so I did get a wonderful overview of Encore and found solutions to so many problems - now, if I could only remember what those solutions were...
>now, if I could only remember what those solutions were
I sometimes can't even remember the Question, let alone the Answer!
I will second that.
Thanks for the input, guys. I will also mention, to go along with what Hunt said, that I had a video file with a semicolon in the title. Encore kept giving me an error message saying the clip was only 4 seconds long (which it was actually about 10 minutes long).
As soon as I removed the semicolon, it worked without a problem.
I was using Encore CS3 on the Mac and getting continual crashes. So I bit the bullet and bought Encore (i.e. Premiere) CS5 hoping that Adobe may have fixed the problem. With CS5, the crashes continued -- but at least I had a little more information: Photoshop File Error -1.
That information was enough to lead me to a forum discussing the long filename problem.
I thought about the long filename problem and decided to check my filenames and paths to see what I had -- even though I use a Mac.
My project folder was named something like "Something Blitz 2006". I changed the name to simply "Blitz06". You can guess what happened after that. I was able to build and write my Blu-ray disc perfectly. That was the ONLY change I made.
In hindsight, maybe I didn't need to buy Encore CS5. I wish I had known about this bug two days and $299 ago.
Three attributes that seem to get in the way for Paths and Project/Timeline names, seem to be:
Long Paths/file names
Spaces in these*
Extended and even some regular, but uncommon ASCII characters
Much of this can probably traced to the Sonic Authorcore, that is the base of Encore (and almost every other authoring program). These observations have come mostly from Neil Wilkes, and is based on his use of the larger Sonic Scenarist.
In hindsight, maybe I didn't need to buy Encore CS5. I wish I had known about this bug two days and $299 ago.
If it is any consolation, CS5 has been getting rave reviews, so all should not be lost.
Good luck,
* Mac's have had spaces in file names for a very long time, and Windows just a little less. It seems that something in the Sonic Authorcore just does not do well with them. Heck, as I do so much work in Encore, I find myself typing the old _ [Underscore], just like DOS days, even when the file will NEVER be used by Encore.
Hi Bill
I also have the same problem now...
I have shorten th paths names and file names to 6characters and as well as no spaces..Eg. Hant1&2
I am still getting the Encode Failed message just after Transcoding started on .prproj(video) file.
What else I can try to get it going on Encode on Encore to make the DVD. I have used ApproCS4 File >> Adobe Dynamic Link to Send to Encore.
Any other advice would b highly welcome !!
I recommend you avoid the ampersand; that's one of those odd characters that Hunt mentions. I do not believe the underscore causes problems, and would use that.
At least one user reported a problem because the name of the project in the build panel had spaces. (I think that's what is was; I don't think the blank makes the length likely to be an issue.) so I'd check that too.
I don't recall if you said. The best practice is to create a brand new Encore project with the newly named assets. But revising an existing project often works.
Hi Stan
Thx 4 ur input to my prob.
I have removed the & from the file name..now it's Hant12..still does the same "Encode Failed" When start to encode the file.
All the file paths been changed to Hant12 also...no difference..
I have saved the file in Encore and started to Build..still the same error.
What a drama !! Never had this problem before...
The file size is 2.7GB out of 4.7GB DVD disk. Put a new disk also..still the same..
What else I can try??
Thx for giving me tips to try out...
There are probably many causes for encoding failures. I think long names is not a likely one, but one worth fixing, because it has fixed problems.
Are you "building" the project (from the build tab), or just transcoding (from the project bin)?
Is this a dynamically linked asset?
Hi Stan,
Thx for the update.
Yes, I am building the project using BUILD Tab and using File >>>Dynamically Link >>> to Encore in Premiere ProCS4.
This is never happened to me before using CS4...do u think that I have to re-install the CS4 again..
Whot a tragedy I am facing with !!
Thx 4 all ur suggestions..
If you have not, I would first transcode the assets before the build. In the project bin, right click on one of them and pick transcode now. Are they set to automatic for the setting?
FYI, Adobe has refused to fix this elementary, long-known problem as of CS6.
FYI, Adobe has refused to fix this elementary, long-known problem as of CS6.
Do you have a repeatable test you used? I'd like to replicate it.
The "long file name," spaces and special character issues were first reported in Sonic Scenarist, as it appears that the same issues exist in some of the Sonic AuthorCore modules, that Encore also uses.
Not sure how much Adobe can do, until Sonic rewrites their code?
Ugh. There are basically three people here, who show up repeatedly and relentlessly, always eager to explain that it wasn't Adobe's fault at first. (FTC regulations require them to disclose that they're compensated by Adobe.) I'm sure that even the actual authors of these applications don't like that first line of defense as it ultimately makes Adobe look bad, diluting useful feedback. Yes, we also file bug reports and yes, this bug was reported several times ever since at least CS5. Also, no reasonable user is too stubborn to shorten source file names, and that bug isn't the real issue -- it's that Adobe's applications (like this Encore example) simply freak out and crash over a well-known, clearly identified bug and then give no guidance as to what happened, or how to resolve it. So Adobe customers spend hours trying to find the answer -- around the distractions of those three guys -- and increasingly lose faith in the Creative Suite.
Stan, thanks for a concrete question that could lead to diagnosis. The file name that caused Encore to crash at the transcoding stage was not too far into the directories on my media drive, and named: "KIMIKO ISHIZAKA - Goldberg Variations BWV 988 - 16 - Variatio 15 a 1 Clav. Canone alla Quinta__44k-16b (with leading silence).wav" Once I halved the length of the filename (notably, while leaving in the spaces and dashes and underscores), it was smooth sailing. So, you could simply rename any of your audio files to that, import the asset, and try to transcode at final output to see what happens. Will be curious to know what you find, thanks!
"KIMIKO ISHIZAKA - Goldberg Variations BWV 988 - 16 - Variatio 15 a 1 Clav. Canone alla Quinta__44k-16b (with leading silence).wav" Once I halved the length of the filename (notably, while leaving in the spaces and dashes and underscores), it was smooth sailing.
This filename has 105 characters plus 20 spaces, with the .wav extension removed.
I renamed an existing SD AVI to that name (with .avi rather than .wav of course). Imported as timeline to Encore. Transcode now. "Encode failed."
As expected, it makes no difference if you rename the timeline or the asset inside Encore - the real asset is still named as it was.
Remove spaces (and add characters to keep total at 105): encode failed.
Remove parentheses and add two charactger: failed.
Instead of this name, just use 1234567890, repeated without spaces: 125 - confirmed failed.
Trial and error eventually shows that 80 works and 81 fails.
Add one space into a 79: works.
Add one space into an 80: fails.
Add 24 spaces scattered in, for a total of 80: works.
I did not test any odd symbols or characters.
Edit: I did not test path length. Both hpmoon and I were using relatively short paths.
This is clearly Adobe's problem. It doesn't matter if they rely on third-parties for this software and sell for $799. They are the point of sale. They have known about this bug that cuases crashes for years. It goes back to at least CS3. They have done nothing to resolve this problem.
[profanity removed from post]
It is perplexing. I have the following thoughts.
It is not uncommon for applications/fields in databases, etc, to have character limits. In the DOS age, you got only 8 characters to name a file. So one way to look at this is that there is an 80 character limit for filenames of assets. Not really a "bug." And like many of the error messages in Encore, "Encode Failed" leaves much to be desired. We could file feature requests asking for longer filename support. (I can't say that I would; I rarely use such long names.)
Encore should inspect the file upon import, and raise the red flag then.
While Adobe bears the responsibility for its software, it is true that a variety of their products are based on code written for precursor products. Encore was provided "free" with Premiere, and we really don't know how much of the current interface, abstraction layer, etc are now written by adobe and which are still original sonic or sonic revised code. As with any Adobe decisions, they weigh the cost of fixes/improvements against their priorities for lots of apps. And a rewrite of Encore from the ground up may just be too expensive in their view. And perhaps it would be in our view if we had to buy it separately.
So for those of you who feel passionately about this, file bug reports AND feature requests. I'll try to get around filing something for better error messaging.
I'll try to get around filing something for better error messaging.
Unfortunately, that's also been requested for years now, and never fully implemented by Adobe. Some few messages have gotten better, but most remain as cryptic and unhelpful as ever.
Have you ever looked at the "error messages" folder in Encore program files? I can't see that it is used for anything. I think it was left over from sonic. There's a whole bunch of them...
Stan, when an application crashes because of a filename, it is a bug. A correctly written application does not do this.
80-character string limits disappeared in all good applications ten years ago.
You cannot get Encore for free. This is not a free application.
A fix such as this does not require a rewrite of the software.
You have a million rationalizations for Adobe's shoddy work and lazy support. The full blame for this rests with Adobe. If they don't have input or control of the software they sell, they shouldn't be selling it.
I don't mind anyone being upset with Adobe over Encore's being the neglected stepchild. It is. And needs fixing. And Adobe's not being more transparent regarding bugs and fixes means we don't always know what they have fixed. We are more aware of aspects of the program that get improved (e.g. bluray chapter playlists). But explaining my understanding of the factors that may account for Adobe's apparent neglect is not the same as rationalizations. I agree that Adobe is responsible for Encore. And that responsibility includes any decisions that allow sonic weaknesses to continue under Adobe's name.
And anyway, I stopped way short of a million!
Yes, my "free" was in quotes.
Neither of us really knows for sure, but I suspect that this is part of the sonic authorcore, and that fixing it involves either a) investing resources in software workarounds or b) rewriting or c) paying sonic more money for newer options.
BTW, anyone know whether Scenarist has an 80 character filename limit?
It didn't occur to me till now that I was not seeing a "crash." I was getting a "Encode Failed" message. Is that an "improvement" from the earlier crashes (if I had to pick, I'd pick an error message over a crash) or is my test not getting the symptom others report?
Stan, your thorough test is winning, and I hope Adobe pays attention to how simple the fix would be. If they don't....par for the course.
Your suggestion of at least parsing the filename upon import to prevent the crash, giving a proper error message, is the minimum and easiest solution that doesn't fall into the sonic-whatever excuses. Great idea!
It does seem a fine idea, doesn't it?
BTW, are you getting a crash or an "Encode Failed" message?

text: Most comfortable and versatile shoes I have owned. Purcased them over two years ago for a trip to Europe. Perfect fit from day one. Light to pack. Easy to slip on & off (especially on planes). Walked for miles in them on my trip and smart enough to get away with wearing day & night. Since returning home I have worn these shoes to work every day as a duty shoe and for shopping etc. The soles have finally worn thin but the uppers still look fine. Will have to purchase another pair soon as I'm totally addicted to these shoes.
