The Semmering railway, Austria, which starts at Gloggnitz and leads over the Semmering to Mürzzuschlag was the first mountain railway in Europe built with a standard gauge track. It is commonly referred to as the world's first true mountain railway, given the very difficult terrain and the considerable altitude difference that was mastered during its construction. It is still fully functional as a part of the South railway which is operated by the Austrian Federal Railways.
Contents |
History [edit]
The Semmering railway was constructed between 1848 and 1854 by some 20,000 workers under the project's designer and director Carl von Ghega. The construction features 14 tunnels (among them the 1,431 m vertex tunnel), 16 viaducts (several two-story) and over 100 curved stone bridges as well as 11 small iron bridges. The stations and the buildings for the supervisors were often built directly from the waste material produced in the course of tunnel construction.
Across an overall track length of 41 km the Semmering railway overcomes an altitude difference of 460 m; on 60% of its length the gradient is 20-25‰ (2-2.5%, equivalent to a 1-meter difference in altitude on a 40 m route distance), and 16% exhibit a curvature radius of only 190 m. This was an entirely new technical dimension of railway construction, and new instruments and methods of surveying had to be developed to handle the resulting challenges. Also, new technologies were employed for the Engerth locomotives because the types in general use at this time could not handle the extreme gradients and turning radii.
Even while being built the Semmering railway was perceived as an effort of "landscape gardening", i.e. it attempted a harmonious combination of technology and nature. The unique travel experience which the Semmering railway offered contributed significantly to the original opening of the Semmering region for tourism. Numerous hotels and mansions are witnesses of this epoch. This enormous upswing to the turn of the century and the revaluation of the region as a winter sports area in the first third of the 20th Century were interrupted first by World War I and then by the changed recreational needs of the population. Therefore this unique culture landscape could be preserved with little change. A trip on the Semmering railway, which is in full use 150 years after its building, still impresses the traveller as a special experience by its varied landscape, the typical style of its mansions and the characteristic sequence of viaducts and tunnel constructions.
In 1998 the Semmering railway was added to the list of the UNESCO World Heritage sites.
Semmering Base Tunnel [edit]
On April 25, 2012 ground was broken for the construction of the 27.3km Semmering base tunnel. This tunnel will bypass 41km of the Semmeringbahn. The tunnel is expected to open in 2024, with a total cost of €3.1b. [1]
The Railway in numismatics [edit]
The Semmering alpine railway has been the main motive for many collector coins and medals. One of the most famous and recent ones is the 150 Years Semmering Alpine Railway Coin. The obverse shows two locomotives: a historical and a modern one. The reverse of the coin shows a typical Semmering view. An Engerth steam locomotive just emerged from a tunnel crossing one of the distinctive viaducts.

CBSD Research Retreats
The Center for Biomolecular Structure and Dynamics is committed to fostering a community for biophysically informed research throughout the University of Montana (UM) research community. We do this in a number of ways, including hosting an annual research retreat and grant review workshop retreats.
Annual CoBRE Research Retreat:
The annual research retreat provides us an opportunity to come together as a research community to discuss the latest research in our laboratories supported by CBSD. The retreat includes keynote seminars by outside speakers, lectures by Project Leaders who are supported by the CBSD NIH CoBRE grant, and a selection of short talks by pilot project leaders and graduate students. We especially encourage both graduate and undergraduate students to participate in a poster session. We also have presentations from our Computational, NMR, X-ray and BioSpectroscopy Core Facilities so attendees can learn more about how these facilities can help take their research projects in new directions.
Registering for the Annual CBSD Research Retreat: REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. See you next year!
Semi-Annual Grant Review Workshop Retreats:
This is an overnight, working meeting for those who wish to have their upcoming grant submissions reviewed prior to NIH/NSF deadlines. Typically this workshop retreat is held one month prior to major NIH/NSF deadlines: January (February deadlines) and May (June deadlines). Feedback is constructive, and everyone participates in discussion of each individual grant. Participants include faculty from basic and applied biomolecular, chemical, cellular and biomedical sciences and related disciplines at the University of Montana, and other institutions around the state.
Registering for "Hot Water" Grant Review Workshop: REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED. See you next time!
Past Research Retreats:
January 3-4, 2013; May 9-10, 2013
Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, Fairmont Montana |
CBSD hosts its semi-annual "Hot Water" Grant Review Workshop at Fairmont Hot Springs Resort, where individual grant proposals are peer-reviewed and discussed in detail by faculty from basic and applied biomolecular, chemical, cellular and biomedical sciences and related disciplines at the University of Montana, Montana State University, and the McLaughlin Research Institute. "As a young, inexperienced grant writer, receiving good feedback and watching how successful senior PIs dissect grants was invaluable. Look forward to the next one!" - Ron June, MSU- Bozeman "Even listening to critiques of grants in subject areas I know nothing about, I learned a lot about grantsmanship...It was also a great opportunity to meet and interact with some of my MT colleagues." -Teresa Gunn, McLaughlin Research Institute |
September 7-9, 2012
Double Arrow Resort, Seeley Lake Montana |
The first Annual CBSD Research Retreat was held at the Double Arrow Resort in Seeley Lake, MT. This retreat included keynote speakers David Case, Rutgers, and Brian Bothner, MSU-Bozeman. Participants heard from CBSD's junior investigators, core facility managers and directors, as well as CBSD's Pilot Project Program lead investigators. A poster session was held to give graduate and undergraduate students a chance to present their information to the CBSD community. |

How to Get Multilingual Support Working in Joomla 1.7
How to Translate Your Website Contents into Various Languages Using Joomla 1.7
Joomla 1.7 does not require JoomFish or other components to enable multilingual support. This support is built in Joomla 1.7 natively, although we don't find it particularly intuitive. There is a couple of steps that one needs to know to get it all going smoothly.
Below is a simple step-by-step summary of how to enable multilingual feature in Joomla 1.7:
- Login to your website, from the Control panel go to Extensions > Extension Manager
- Install a Language pack. You need a separate language pack for each language. Download language packs from here:
- After you've installed the required language pack(s), go to Extensions > Language Manager
- In Language Manager, select the Content tab, create a new item corresponding to the language you've installed.
- From the main Control panel, go to Menus and create a New Menu for the required language (or, if the second-language menu has already been created, create a Mew Menu Item for this language menu). You need a separate menu for each language, and they will all be listed under Menus.
- This step is very important! After you've created the second (third, forth, etc.) language menu items, you need to associate them with one another.
- NOTE: Joomla has one Home page by default. If you are adding another language, you need to create a corresponding Home page for that language.
- To add Articles in various languages, simply go to Article Manager, Add New Item, and specify the language. Connect it with the corresponding Menu item in the same language, as usual. Define Alias contents manually, if you wish. Add meta data, keywords, etc.
And voila, you are done.
For more details, check out this batch tutorials on how to get Joomla 1.7 multilingual. Good luck!

HILLTOWNS — Photos of a male student's nude ex-girlfriend were discovered by the school principal on his cell phone after it was confiscated at Berne-Knox-Westerlo on Tuesday, Jan. 22. Both are 14 years old.
An investigation is still ongoing, but criminal charges are not likely, according to Inspector Mark DeFrancesco of the Albany County Sheriff's Office. Whether secondary school Principal Brian Corey searched through the phone or had reasonable suspicion to do so is unclear.
"Child pornography doesn't have an age limit, but obviously you have to take into account, I think, when the laws were made; there probably wasn't even texting, let alone to this extent, with pictures being e-mailed back and forth," DeFrancesco said Tuesday.
The student's iPhone 5 was taken away when he was caught using it, which is against school rules, then handed over to Corey, who called the student's father and the sheriff's office when he found the photos.
Use of cell phones during school hours is prohibited in the district's student code of conduct, except for emergencies or with permission.
The student's father told local media that Corey did not have the right to access "personal accounts" within the phone and that he had retained a lawyer. The father would not comment to The Enterprise until the investigation is over.
"I can't say why he [Corey] looked at it or the depth with which he looked at it, at this point," said DeFrancesco on Tuesday.
Corey had no comment on the incident or cell-phone use in the school, with the investigation not yet completed.
Paul Dwyer, a lawyer hired by the boy's family, said he hopes the sheriff's office and the school would agree at a meeting on Friday not to charge the student because of his age.
With cases involving very young teenagers, Dwyer said he does not think courts have dealt with Fourth Amendment search and seizure issues brought up with Internet-connected smartphones, which are a "brand new situation" for him. Instead, he said, the school should discuss it with its lawyers.
"There is definitely an issue, but you know what, from a very practical point of view…those kinds of issues are interesting intellectually, but they only get raised in cases when the matter ends up getting contested," said Dwyer.
In 2009, cellular equipment was installed on the bell tower of the St. Paul's Lutheran Church next to the school, granting reception within the school around the beginning of May.
The board policy on cell phone use, passed in June of 2009, is reflected in the code of conduct.
"I don't think the children are as able to see the circumstances that can be created by their actions," said DeFrancesco. "In this instance, I'm sure it was something very innocent and giddy that was done, and it's altered the course of people's lives."
Aside from firm school policies, DeFrancesco recommended parents examine their children's phone use and look at phone bills to find out with whom they are communicating. He compared new communications to driving, saying that children need to be trained on their responsibilities and consequences.
The state's Cybercrime Youth Rescue Act that took effect last March is meant to channel the flow of minors involved for the first time in sexting crimes from family courts to educational programs run by the state's Office of Children and Family Services, resulting in dismissal of the charges.
In a 2008 online survey commissioned by the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy and Cosmogirl.com, 20 percent of teens between ages 13 and 19, and 11 percent of teen girls between 13 and 16, reported they had sent or posted nude or semi-nude pictures or videos of themselves.
An article published in the journal Pediatrics in 2011 reported that 1 percent of teens between ages 10 and 17 responded in a telephone survey that they had appeared in or created sexually explicit images or videos. The authors were from the Crimes against Children Research Center at the University of New Hampshire.

My grandmother used to love tall tales. One she told was about an unbelievably hot day in Florida in the days before cars had air conditioning. She said that it got so hot that people were stopping their cars, sprinting to a bridge and diving into the river below and drowning.
There is no way that could be a true story. But, we've all seen the effects of mob mentality enough to almost believe that it happened.
What is it about human nature that drives sensible people to do stupid things when they are in a mob?
When we buy our calendars we already know that there will be a Friday the day after Thanksgiving. And there will be stores that are open for business before that day arrives. We can buy Christmas presents anytime we choose.
Still, every year on Black Friday frantic shoppers by the thousands will charge into stores and trample and crush other shoppers before daybreak.
Somewhere in the world some team will win the World Cup Soccer Tournament every year. And fans, who as individuals are rational and caring citizens, will start fires and shoot guns into the air in celebration along with all the other residents of entire cities.
Mardi Gras. Enough said.
In the spring of 2010 a young man in Griffin taped a music video. About 200 people came to watch. So did some gang members. People started firing guns all over the place. Police found .40 caliber shells. They recovered shotgun shells. They found casings from at least two other guns.
A little girl was shot in the foot. When the crowd dispersed the young musician lay dead on the asphalt with six bullet wounds.
Police arrested a young college student with no record. Three witnesses said he straddled the musician after he fell onto the pavement and shot him in the head. Other evidence corroborated their testimony.
The defendant told police that he had been shot twice and that he just fired into the crowd as he ran away. As if that justified his actions. He said he brought his gun to the videotaping because he might need it for protection.
None of that makes any sense. Last week the jury didn't buy it. A young man with a previously clean record is now a convicted murderer serving a life sentence.
Another young man is dead for no reason whatsoever.
The comedian Flip Wilson used to quip. "The devil made me do it."
Well, many times the devil is in the mob.

I love this product! It's amazing! When my little girl was first born I didn't want to wash her. I had heard about not disturbing their natural skin functions and such and she was just so perfect! Trillium's Tubby rubby is exactly what I needed, it smells amazing and leaves both of us feeling silky soft and clean.
Thanks for introducing me to this product. I plan on using it for the first year and then switching to their Gentle Soap which I hear is in fact super gentle!
Thanks Mighty folks.

Taking Art To The Streets
One Bethesda barista showed off his artistic talents this weekend.
Taking advantage of the warm, sunny weather, one Bethesda barista showed off his artistic talents outside the Westbard Starbucks Sunday.
By day, Manuel Alfredo Iglesias, 21, serves up coffee and espresso for Bethesda's caffeine addicts. But he spends his spare time drawing everything from animals to landscapes to portraits. Sunday, he set up his canvas outside his workplace, prompting many a curious onlooker to pause from their shopping trips and admire his art.
Iglesias deftly sketched up an image of a boxer based on a photo on a laptop he set up nearby.
"This is something where I really try to get into detail," he said of his work.

I have to admit, I'm pretty heavily tied into the Google brands. My blog is on the Google-run Blogger, I read all my feeds in Google Reader, and my primary email is Gmail. There's also Gtalk, the Google search engine, and Picassa, all of which I use almost exclusively. So the article "On Day Care, Google Makes a Rare Fumble" from Saturday's New York Times, which I found through Heather's shared feeds in Google Reader, really saddens me.
Here's an excerpt (bolded parts by me, for those of us who skim). I'd love to know what you think:
Two months ago, Google held a series of secret focus groups with employees who have children in Google's day care facilities. The purpose was to gauge their reaction to the company's plan to raise the amount it charged for in-house day care by 75 percent.
Parents who had been paying $1,425 a month for infant care would see their costs rise to nearly $2,500 — well above the market rate. For parents with toddlers and preschoolers, who were charged less, the price increases were equally eye-popping. Under the new plan, parents with two kids in Google day care would most likely see their annual day care bill grow to more than $57,000 from around $33,000.
At the first of the three focus groups, parents wept openly. As word leaked out about the company's plan, the Google parents began to fight back. They came up with ideas to save money, used the company's T.G.I.F. sessions — a weekly meeting for anyone who wanted to ask questions of Google's top executives — to plead their case, and conducted surveys showing that most parents with children in Google day care would have to leave Google's facilities and find less expensive child care.
Do you think you know how this story ends? You're probably guessing that because it involves "do no evil" Google, Fortune magazine's "Best Company to Work For" the past two years, this is a heart-warming tale of a good company reversing a dumb decision.
If only. Although Google is rolling back its price increase slightly and is phasing in the higher price over five quarters, the outline of the original decision remains largely unchanged. At a T.G.I.F. in June, the Google co-founder Sergey Brin said he had no sympathy for the parents, and that he was tired of "Googlers" who felt entitled to perks like "bottled water and M&Ms," according to several people in the meeting.
Of course, those of us with kids know that on-site daycare is not equivalent to bottled water and M&Ms. It can be the reason you take or leave a job, and those of us who work on Teh Internets are able to be highly mobile. Anyway, the article goes on to describe the daycare, which does indeed sound amazing in a bloated, over-done way. But who doesn't want the very best for their kids?
But here's the real problem: providing day care isn't an economics experiment, nor should it be just another Google perk, alongside organic food and free M&Ms. Day care matters to people's lives in a way that few other perks do. There are many people in this country — including, I'll bet, many Googlers — who believe that employer-provided day care, at affordable prices, ought to be like health insurance, a benefit that every company provides as a matter of course. Yet as the technology blog Valleywag noted recently, Google doesn't even advertise day care as a benefit for its employees anymore. That's the real shame.
Google may be providing the greatest day care ever, but so what? It doesn't matter how good the day care is if only its wealthiest employees can afford to use it. If Google had really wanted to do something path-breaking about its day care crisis, it would have spent less time creating elitist day care centers and more time figuring out how to "scale" day care for everybody no matter what their salaries.
Instead, Google has shown that it thinks about day care the same way every other company does — as a luxury, not a benefit. Judging by what's transpired, that's what Google is fast becoming: just another company.

sounds like a programming issue way out of my level. ill be interested in knowing what happened but I would have expected something was wrong the moment I could make multiple moves in a row. please Let us know once your ticket gets a response
did you look at the game (the one with sadin) ? ther was no enpassant was involved.
The part about the clock running, you taking all the material, and it latter apears back. And so... can be explained with a sync problem.
The only thing the sync problem doesn't explain is the unplay moves.
To explain this simple. When you are playing the game there is a sending and reciving pakets of information. An example of a paket may content the game ID, and the move played. Hopefully also contens some sort of security filter, for example the user ID of the player who made this move.
There is a relation between amount of information to proccess and time require to process it. This is more info on the paket more time to work it out.
So the deal is to have just the exact amount of info in the paket to prevent false pakets and no lag that much.
A false paket is a paket that is ilegitimally generate by other source. for instance someone else use your user ID to send your move. You will percive this as sync problems.
I have nevet take the time to get and read the pakets of this website, so I have not idea how secure they are. Also I have not the time for doing this.
Other reasons why this can hapen are some programing bugs. For example some cross talking. In this case the system mix your game with someones else game...
It is hard to know with exactitud what happened to you. They are asking you if you use Ipad or something like that, becouse that is new programed apps for those plataforms, and it is very likely that they have all kind of bugs, while the programing team works in depuring the code. Eventually they will get to something stable.
So there is more than one posible reason why this happened to you.
I once had a mysterious situation where my bishop was moved from C3 back to C1. It was critical because I had my opponent in a very tough jam. I won anyways but I couldnot figure out how my bishop ended back on the back row.
sounded like the 'summit' move had a glitch at the time ?
The problem mentioned in this thread just happened again. I stopped playing at the point where things screwed up. My opponents' Queen was on its original square when I moved my knight. Then my queen just disappeared. It's impossible to play when you can't see your opponents' moves or their position on the board.
The game was with NachoCheese. His last and next to last move didn't show up on my board. If someone would tell me how to file a ticket on this it would be appreciated. I never got an explanation about the first incident.
see bottom of page "Help and Support"
We're testing a new version of the app right now that should completely solve these problems. We've more or less rewritten a lot of the code that deals with Live Chess, and we're confident it's going to be a lot more reliable. We'll probably need another week or so to iron our the kinks and then we can submit to Apple.
Thanks a bunch. I'm enjoying the site a lot except for this issue.
I just had the the same problem happen for the third time. My opponents moves didn't show up on the board and the move sheet simply showed the word "null" for the last ten or so moves of the game. I'm playing on an iPad 3. I first brought this problem to the attention of the staff more than a month ago. Obviously it's not fixed.
Until there is an update to install from the App Store, there's no question it's still unfixed. And unfortunately, Apple has thrown us a bit of a curveball, and we've got some unexpected work to do before they'll allow us to update the in-store version.
Hard to say at the moment, but I'd guess at least another 2-3 weeks.

The city near the center of the Tri-Valley is at the center of a debate about cooperation among the five cities that have worked together for years -- Pleasanton, Livermore, Dublin, San Ramon and Danville.

I guess our new mayor is desperate to save duckets so he can help his developer friends. Things have changed dramatically and there is no way it's to benefit the typical San Ramon citizen.
Posted by resident, a resident of the Downtown neighborhood, on Aug 15, 2012 at 3:53 pm
Perhaps slappy can explain how paying half a million dollars to the CVB, when they never promoted San Ramon at all, was doing good things for the San Ramon citizens.
If you want to have a mayor in bed with developers you can have ours. Hosterman is termed out at last and planning to run for Pete Stark's seat when he gets out. Since she has less than a snowball's chance of getting supported for that, let alone winning, maybe you can offer her a job as mayor. She and her falcon can move right over to San Ramon and we can get our city back.

Since our new mayor here in San Ramon took office, we have seen the above changes occur, along with the loss of the yearly fireworks display, and the push through of the Norris Canyon Project, which was done in spite of resident opposition.
Resident, we don't need your mayor to move over to our town. We have issues of our own.
Lugnut, well said.

I have not heard anything about the SPF. Up here NASA is one of the few organizations that have state meets and I avoid them simply because I don't care for the NASA executive committee member Job Hou-Seye.
Job Hou-Seye has a history of putting down the depth of lifters on Powerlifting Watch. I simply don't care for the way he handles himself on that site. I have also seem lifters leave the NASA because of drug-testing controversy, including Jesse Israel who frequented the MAB forum before his passing: Terry Tucker Leaves NASA Over Drug Testing Dispute | Powerlifting Watch Take my comments with a grain of salt as I have never personally spoken to a NASA lifter. I merely wanted to pass along several things I have witnessed about the NASA over the years.

I will add my two cents here.
NASA: I lifted there a few times as a teenager and in the Jounior divisions. Never really much competiton there, but I think they have good size meets in the midwest. Equipment was ok, they use squat stands, no monolift at the ones I went to. The people in their organization tend to mock people in other ones. The same guy BTB refernces above wanted to mock my squats, and how that they wouldnt pass in NASA. Guess he didnt know that I was the American Record holder in NASA for 3 years in the squat haha! They are a drug tested organization, although between Honeycutt and myself we broke 4 american records and were never tested. This is my beef with drug testing feds, and part of the reason why I dont lift in them anymore unless its a big time meet. SPF: Great equipment, by far the best I have ever used at a meet. People are friendly, and supportive. They have a bad name for some questionable calls on squat depth, but I have seen them redlight many close squats. This is a non drug tested organization, but they offer raw, single, and mulitply at pretty much all their meets. I saw some great raw lifting at the last one I did in Myrtle Beach. For my money the SPF is the way to go, but each person is different. I am doing another SPF meet next month, that will be bench only.

I don't know Job personally, but he did ref my first meet last May here in KY. He seemed a bit of an elitist, but I don't have much to back that up.
I don't know much about NASA other than what I've done. The teen division isn't large or competitive nationwide. However, I think their small meets are fun and worth doing if you haven't done anything else. Be wary, though. The rules are a bit tight. It doesn't impact me much though. |

Hey guys, brand new to the forum but I've had some experience with NASA.
I've competed in a few state meets with them and enjoyed them very much. Being a newer lifter at the time (a NASA state meet in AZ was my introduction to the sport). The majority of the lifters are extremely helpful and really went out of there way to be welcoming and are there to have fun. Overall the meets are well run, the equipment is decent as long as you don't mind the lack of a monolift, and they actually make an effort to start on time unlike quite a few other meets =P One point of contention I could see many lifters having is the judging. Depending on whose judging at the actual event it can range from mildly strict to strict. One of the last I went to the bench pauses were having to be held for near 2-3 seconds to get a white light in a raw meet, lets just say not many bench PR's were set that day that's for sure. I can't really say much on the drama issue that was mentioned above I stay clear of all that as best I can. But overall I'd recommend NASA. |

Facebook – The Little Engine That's Trying
Karen is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) is sending the market serious signals that they've finally gotten the message, and they're starting to look more like a company run by suits and not by a gaggle of college geeks in hoodies. The little Facebook engine has started a run up the hill by making significant personnel changes, forming strategic partnerships and developing multiple income streams to increase profits.
The shake-up in management started at the top with the resignation of CTO Bret Taylor, who's leaving to form an unnamed startup with ex-Googler Kevin Gibbs. Shortly after that, CEO Sheryl Sandberg was named to Facebook's board of directors. After their disastrous IPO, this internal housecleaning seems to indicate that Facebook is serious about its corporate image.
Facebook and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) are the best of Frenemies. Facebook loves Apple so much that they hire as many ex-Apple engineers as possible. Why just a few days ago they pulled off a major coup by poaching Apple's user interface design manager, Chris Weeldreyer, to be their new product design manager. According to LinkedIn, at least 89 former Apple employees now call Facebook home. Yet on the other hand, Facebook and Apple are working closely together on the iOS6. Is this their way of confirming that a Facebook smartphone backed by Apple will be announced soon?
Apple stands to significantly benefit from Facebook's recently launched Apps Center. In May 2012 alone, Facebook sent over 83 million visitors to Apple's App Store, of which Facebook's cut was 30% of the revenue generated from any sales. And since 7 of the 10 top grossing iOS apps use Facebook as their platform, Apple is going to be very careful not to step on Facebook's toes.
Another strategic partnership is found with the Facebook/Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) combo. Netflix movie viewers in 44 of 45 countries will be able to share what they're watching with a friend on Facebook at the same time. Unfortunately, it's not available to U.S. users due to the Video Protection Privacy Act of 1988. Facebook Connect allows Netflix users to link their accounts directly to their Facebook account. Netflix's ultimate goal, of course, is to increase their number of streaming subscribers.
Introducing new products while meeting user privacy demands, however, has proved a much thornier problem. Facebook Exchange, a new advertising system that allows advertisers to bid on a specific ad impression in real time, immediately drew user ire. Facebook's acquisition of Face.com, a facial-recognition company, to allow Facebook users an easier way to tag and share photos, was met with a less than an enthusiastic welcome.
Facebook continues to try and develop new income sources without alienating their users. The company recently added a subscription billing option for games offered on its site and is selling music and other media downloadable from iTunes. Those annoying click ads might be going the way of the dinosaur thanks to mobile advertising, which delivers ads based on the user's location. The click rate on mobile ads far outstrips the rate for PC based ads, so profit should triumph over privacy this time. On the plus side, however, when Apple made it clear they wouldn't accept Facebook Credits as payment, the funny money quietly disappeared to the relief of Facebook users.
Facebook is working hard to prove they are a growing company capable of producing substantial profits for shareholders. The Facebook engine is huffing and puffing, trying to pull itself up and over the hill, and the market is waiting to see if it can.

The Lion King tickets Online
London's West End production of The Lion King celebrated its 5000th performance on Tuesday night at the shows home The Lyceum Theatre.
The Disney screen-to-stage adaption has now been seen by almost 10 million people since it opened on 19 October 1999. The production opened first in the US on Broadway at the New Amsterdam Theatre in November 1997 and to help celebrate on Tuesday evening was the show's original creative team led by director and designer Julie Taymor. Eighteen productions of The Lion King have been performed in 14 countries across five continents. It has been seen by more than 60 million people worldwide, grossing a staggering $4.3 billion! Creating the masks and 232 puppets required in the show took 37,000 hours to create, that's equivalent to over 1,542 days. Annual maintenance of the 20 Grasslands headdresses used in the show requires over 3,000 stalks, or more than 27kg of grass. The show features 14 songs including 5 from the film and some new songs written by Elton John and Tim Rice. Tim Rice was also there on Tuesday evening at the curtain call to help celebrate this excellent achievement with the cast.

Theme by nostrich.
Audio with 39 plays with 3 notes
[That's my first totally fangirling interview. Aha!]
I mean. One of the first groups for who I travelling a lot before R.E.M, Muse and Editors were Bush. I saw Bush at Frequency Festival e via Edel Music I have the chance to interview Gavin. I think that last time I was at a Bush's gig was… ten years ago? more? Well. Too much time. And I was so restless to hear them again. Really.
Gavin Rossdale is one of the most relaxing and outspoken men in music. We talked about the last Bush record and the concert in Milan (yesterday!)
I hope you like this interview. Because I remember that when I was younger I was craving of all their live concert, interview and so on. And Milan's concert was totally a blast.
Hope to see them again soon in our country.
[yep, I was crap in the question of american media. I know. But I was nervous like hell. It's no easy interviewing when you're a fan…]

Business Alchemy - The Big Data Promise?
Maven Cast
What is 'big data'? Big data is a term coined around the fact that in the digital age data comesat a high velocity, a large degree of variety and for some industries (though not all), at significant volume. While each of the V's in isolation pose particular technical issues, these are largely well defined and backed by proven methodologies. So why the hoopla?

Public Sector G-Cloud - It's More Than The Technology
Neil Pound - Juniper Networks
This article was first posted by Neil Pound at

"Don't dither or fret. Um and ah. Don't pass the buck. This is it". Characteristically plain speaking from Eric Pickles – the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government – as he exhorted

to "show leadership, stop throwing money away, and get coordinated". The specific context was problem families but the thrust of his attack applies equally to the delivery of any number of public sector services that call for collaboration between organisations. The government's cloud computing initiative – the

The Need to Predict: What Business and Motor Sport Have in Common?
Maven Cast
To many, Formula 1 racing is about driving skill and mechanical excellence, but the elements that make the sport exciting are now only the by-product of the real battle: data and strategy. During every multi-million pound race weekend, advanced algorithms plot the likely result of every move on the track, basing their calculations on the telemetry sent by each individual team's cars, as well as real world observations of what the opposition are doing.

Investment in Talent is Key to The Digital Future
Maven Cast
In a global economy predisposed to doom and gloom, it's well-known that the digital industry has flown in the face of wider trends; 10 years of growth are hard to argue with as an indicator of success.
When Propel London set up shop in 2001 digital had just launched on that trajectory. It's not nostalgia: things really were simpler back then - there were fewer technologies, platforms, gadgets, websites, metrics, routes to audience, methodologies... As recruiters our main focus was on web design-and-build vacancies. For that brief time those disciplines were the mainstay of new media.

Social Computing: Transforming A Business Near You
Maven Cast
To the end-user, the telephone is a simple proposition. For at least the last few decades, a caller in Arbroath could pick up the phone and direct dial a friend in Cincinnati. Within a few seconds, they'd be talking. It didn't matter that one was connected to BT and one to AT&T; it didn't matter that their words were transmitted under the Atlantic or over the skies; it just worked. The onus was entirely on the providers to make it happen. Yet, in the online world, both social media itself, and businesses seeking to cash in on free customer data and interaction, are expecting the customer to do all the pushing.

Focus On Conversion For Digital Success
Maven Cast
Rich Page, author of Website Optimisation: An Hour a Day from Adobe argues that the emphasis of spend needs to shift for acquisition to conversion for digital success.
A recent report by Forrester found that for every $80 spent on driving traffic to a site, $1 was spent on conversion. This has the effect of continually throwing more into the bucket will little or no effect on output.
With online engagement becoming the life blood of any organisation simple methods can create big success not just in retail but also in B2B engagement.

The Impact Of Social Technologies On The Knowledge Worker
Maven Cast
Richard talks about the trend towards inherently social businesses which are using social technologies to create better connections internally and how this is the first step to becoming a social business.
This way of communicating makes an incredibly rich seam of data available that in the past was locked-up in silos of email traffic between discreet groups of actors. He argues that in hindsight, social networks are the way we would have designed email.
On the consumerisation of IT, Richard argues that the drive is purely out of frustration to get the work done and that open platforms will help to make organisations more efficient, driving better workflows and information sharing.

Karnataka crisis subsides, nine ministers withdraw resignations
Bangalore(IANS) : The crisis in Karnataka's ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) subsided Monday with nine ministers withdrawing their resignation after an assurance from party to considertheir demand to replace Chief Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda.
Announcing the withdrawal, the nine, followers of former chief minister B.S. Yeddyurappa, said in Bangalore that the party national leaders had promised to consider their demand "in two or three days".
The Yeddyurappa loyalists want Rural Development Minister Jagadish Shettar, who was among the nine to quit Friday, to be made chief minister.
The two warring factions, led by Gowda and Shettar, are now in New Delhi for talks with the BJP leadership, would begin Tuesday as party chief Nitin Gadkari is busy Monday with the wedding reception of his son.
Gowda told reporters on reaching New Delhi that he was "a disciplined soldier of the party and will abide by the decision of the party".
He also subtly told the party to be cautious on bowing to the demand to replace him.
"I have given a corruption-free and scandal-free government in the last 11 months. This is what my party wants and am confident that the party will support it," Gowda said to queries whether he would remain in office.
BJP general secretary in charge of Karnataka affairs Dharmendra Pradhan, who had come to Bangalore Saturday to defuse the crisis, said in New Delhi that "the ministers who had resigned, after discussions with the highcommand, have withdrawn their resignations unconditionally".
He added that "appropriate action" would be taken at the "appropriate time".
"We are heading towards a political solution in Karnataka. The chief minister has also expressed his happiness that the ministers have joined back," he told reporters.
The central leadership, including Gadkari, has been opposed to the demand that Gowda be removed as chief minister.
