More than 25 billion apps have been downloaded from Apple's app store since its launch four years ago. The company announced the milestone on it website saying the downloads came from more than 315 million iPhones, iPads and iPod touches. Chunli Fu of Qingdao, China downloaded "Where's My Water? Free" as the record-setter 25 billionth app, winning a $10,000 iTunes gift card.
"We'd like to thank our customers and developers for helping us achieve this historic milestone of 25 billion apps downloaded," said Eddy Cue, Apple's senior vice president of Internet Software and Services. "When we launched the App Store less than four years ago, we never imagined that mobile apps would become the phenomenon they have, or that developers would create such an incredible selection of apps for iOS users."
The store currently offers more than 550,000 iOS apps in 123 countries around the world. Nearly half of all active apps are available for free, according to unofficial estimates from 148Apps, followed by $0.99 and $1.99 apps which account for roughly 26% and 11% of the catalog, respectively. Gaming is by far the most popular category, but books, entertainment, education, and lifestyle apps take a good chunk of the pie as well.
Apple says its App Store has paid out more than four billion dollars to developers. In a study commissioned by Apple released last week, the company touted that 210,000 U.S. jobs have been created in the "App Economy" since the introduction of the iPhone in 2007. That's on top of some additional 304,000 jobs it is allegedly directly or indirectly responsible for creating in the United States, including 47,000 jobs at Apple and 257,000 jobs at other companies that provide development, manufacturing, components supply, and other services.
The accuracy of Apple's claims have been questioned, but one thing most economists can agree on is that the company has had a big economic impact in the U.S. that goes beyond the people it directly employs.

Got something to say? Post a comment-
I hate being cynical, but I am willing to bet that 80% of the "app Economy" 210,000 U.S. jobs are actually in other countries and not in U.S. As for the other 257,000 additional jobs for development, manufacturing and such, that figure is probably 95% outside of U.S.
Anyone who purchases music from Itunes is a chump.
Companies just cannot leave well enough alone. Apple can't just enjoy the huge profits it makes using Chinese labor, but no, they have to be assholes and try to seem like this is a good thing for the average American...

Attempting to rescue injured climbers on Oregon's highest peak in an accident that left three dead, a Sikorsky HH-60G Pave Hawk search-and-rescue Black Hawk assigned to the Air Force Reserve's 304th Rescue Squadron crashed just 800 ft shy of the summit of 11,240-ft Mount Hood on May 30. At that height, the Pave Hawk was operating very near its 11,540-ft IGE maximum power hover ceiling.
PHI has already logged 23,000 hours on its fleet of nine Sikorsky S-92s, and on Monday at Heli-Expo it signed an options contract for six more of the model to be delivered in 2009 and 2010, as well as six copies of the S-76C++ to support deepwater oil industry missions in the Gulf of Mexico.

Eleven subcontractor employees have been arrested on charges they used fake immigration documents and lied about their pasts to get security clearances at Sikorsky Aircraft. Those arrested included eight illegal aliens who were accused of using false Social Security numbers and forged alien-registration cards to get jobs with as-yet unidentified Sikorsky subcontractors, according to U.S. Attorney Kevin O'Connor.
Sikorsky Aircraft last month recognized Keystone Helicopter
for its achievement in completing and delivering the 50th S-76C+ helicopter. The aircraft is earmarked for delivery to Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering. Keystone, in Coatsville, Pa., has been the principal completion center for the S-76C+ since 2000.
Recent news reports that Gulfstream plans to build a prototype supersonic business jet (SSBJ) by 2013 are inaccurate, according to a company spokesman. "We're still doing basic research on sonic boom suppression," he said.
As the maintenance paperwork trail on the Lockheed JetStar has wound its way from the Atlanta manufacturer to the FAA's Transport Aircraft Certification branch in Seattle, the owners of the four dozen or so JetStars still flying worldwide are trying to figure out whether or not they actually have a problem on their hands.
The GM-17 Viper project is in serious jeopardy following several recent developments. The GM-17 is a modified Piper P Navajo on which the two wing-mounted 425-hp piston engines are replaced by a single 750-shp Walter M601E turboprop placed in the redesigned forward fuselage.
Sikorsky Aircraft recently received a contract to deliver a new S-76C++ to Trustair in the UK. In addition to the S-76C++, Sikorsky and Lynton Aviation, one of its UK sales representatives, facilitated the simultaneous sale of an S-76B from a third party to Trustair.
An upcoming standoff for parts could spell serious problems for Lockheed JetStar owners. Some operators report Lockheed Martin will soon revise the maintenance manual with life limits for wing attachment bolts, tail pivot fittings, flaps and nosewheel steering. While not yet mandated by an AD, repairs could cost each operator up to $300,000, or about one-third of the aircraft's current hull value.

It's all good

Hard to find SPF stuff for lips that has no chemical sunscreen in it - and seems the zinc alone recipes don't go over SF15 without being super white on me. This is really good, thick enough it's stay on for ahwile but not drying at all. Good enough for day to day anyhow - haven't tried it at the beach yet. The unscented version is nice imo, has very slight lavendar hint and not as powerful as this one. All Good Tho!

I really like it. It's transparent and a little glossy and nicely hydrating. The scent is pleasant, too. All in all, no complaints and will repurchase when I run out of it.

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way to the Gym
I was heading out of the building to the gym when I realized it was a gorgeous day. Not too hot - and given the heat we've had around here lately, it was wonderfully cool. So instead of staying inside and working out in the gym, I dressed out and headed outside to walk in the sunshine and enjoy a not-too-hot Texas day. Was it the hardest workout I've ever had? Are my muscles still aquiver? No, they are not. But I got in some hill work, a bit of climbing through the tennis courts and through the neighborhoods and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I always opt for the exercise where I enjoy it! Yes, there will be days that I just have to "do it" - just gut it out, but today wasn't one of them. It was a great day and I got out there and enjoyed it. Soon it will be too hot to commune with nature and the gym will be my only option. But just for today, I took a little detour and I got the most enjoyment out of my exercise.

Since its 1965 founding in Venice Beach, California, Gold's Gym has dotted the globe with more than 600 locations where professional athletes and exercise newbies gather under the umbrella of personal strength. Nearly 3.5 million Gold's members chart and aim for their fitness peaks, perspiring beneath the gaze of certified personal trainers or pedaling beside peers at cycling sessions. In a diverse lineup of group classes, patrons strengthen cores with Pilates, finger-paint pictures of ninjas in martial arts, and amp up heart rates in cardio routines. Many Gold's Gym locations stockpile futuristic amenities, such as cardio machines with individual iPod docks and televisions that help keep patrons motivated.
Bally enshrines exercise classes, calorie-burning equipment, and a fitness-focused staff within its sanctuaries of health. A 30-day membership includes access to a spread of group exercise classes, including Pilates, Reaction Cycling, and Step Fitness (class offerings vary by location). For self-guided worker-outers, cardio equipment such as treadmills, elliptical machines, cross-trainers, and stair climbers torch calories while entertaining the brain with video entertainment and integrated music systems that occasionally whisper quotes from Charles Atlas. Bally also boasts an array of strength machines, free weights, and small-apparatus equipment, and grants gym-goers access to on-site locker rooms, showers, and, at some locations, a pool and steam room. Visit each location's webpage for a list of specific amenities and the lineup of classes.
Super Impact Fitness Studio eschews clunky and cumbersome gym equipment for a "classes only" workout mantra, rallying physiques between exposed-brick walls and floor-to-ceiling windows for routines led by certified instructors. Guests can sync their breathing to match meditative Vinyasa yoga poses or follow intuitive Zumba dance steps for a full-body burn. Boot-camp drills merge strength and cardio training to target oft-overlooked muscles in ears and phantom limbs. Spin, dance, and mixed-martial-arts sessions—helmed by cage fighter Michael "Sharp" Sanders—also fuel fat-busting drills. The staff promotes a well-rounded approach to health with holistic lifestyle counseling and plans to lodge local artwork, theater rehearsals, and zoological exhibits smaller than a breadbox during SIF Studio Presents showcases.
Children are best equipped to develop analytical skills for current and future learning between the formative ages of 3.5 and 14. That's why Best Brains sets students off on the right foot by offering focused courses in subjects such as math, English, abacus, and general knowledge. Certified teachers help students develop skills in writing, grammar, critical thinking word problems, and basic computational math, using an abacus counting tool to help develop spatial memory.
Local artists congregate at Jersey City Art School—not just to teach, but to learn. Through four- and eight-week class sequences, as well as occasional one-time workshops, artists of all skill levels flesh out their portfolios, hone existing techniques, or try out entirely new disciplines. The sessions run the gamut of styles, from digital photography and pottery to painting with watercolors or a bunch of Capri Sun flavors.
JCDA has been in business for over 35 years. The school provides the atmosphere and training that will nurture both the potential artist and the recreational dance student who studies only for the inherent rewards of self-discipline, confidence, physical fitness and a greater appreciation of movement and music.

Gerry V audio: He's not happy just getting to the Super Bowl, and you shouldn't be either
Published: Saturday, January 30, 2010, 8:44 AM Updated: Saturday, January 30, 2010, 11:35 AM
Many New Orleans Saints fans have expressed satisfaction just with going to the Super Bowl, and winning it would be lagniappe. Sportscaster Gerry V says a team may not go to the Super Bowl more than once in a lifetime. So it's time to get serious.

By John W. Mittendorf
During my career as a company officer, I came across several ideas that enhanced training opportunities for company members. Although the following list is not complete, it may give you a few ideas to improve your training opportunities. Additionally, the following drills are designed to focus on practical fireground operations only and be practical, informative, and easy for you to implement with a varying degree of effort on your part. They can be modified to fit other types of scenarios and are listed in no particular order. Remember, when using buildings, Saturday and Sunday mornings are the best times (minimal traffic and people) to train.
- Allow your firefighters to drive back from incidents and on selected emergency move-ups, EMS runs, etc.
- Use the strengths and weaknesses of your crew to conduct periodic mini-drills (and to the best of your ability, do not deviate).
- If possible, schedule formal drills at least a month in advance. How often DO you schedule drills with your company members AND conduct the drills as scheduled?
- When driving back from incidents, periodically stop and discuss building construction hazards, what ladders or hose would be necessary to reach a specific objective, etc.
- When conducting fire prevention inspections, use this time to look at a building from a team fireground operational viewpoint.
- Take pictures (35 mm slides) of various buildings or hazards in your district and use in-house (particularly on rainy days) to discuss fireground operations.
- Conduct a drill on "Injured On Duty" and "Not Injured On Duty" procedures and have a one-page summary for your crew to keep at home (be ready for members of the two other shifts who also want a copy!).
- If you are assigned to an engine company:
- Have your personnel operate all handlines and master stream appliances with various nozzles to refresh their memory on the capabilities of each combination. Sound simple? If it is, why are most fires (regardless of size) attacked with 13/4-inch line(s)?
- Ensure your personnel are proficient in driving and pumping. That means you could justify their capabilities to a member of the legal profession.
- If you are assigned to a truck company:
- Ensure your personnel are proficient in driving and aerial operations.
- Dump the apparatus of equipment. First, have each member select a piece of equipment and explain its use as applied to a specific fireground operation (i.e., forcible entry, ventilation, etc.). Then repeat until all equipment has been removed from the apparatus.
- Select a building in your district. Park your apparatus in front and mentally build a fire with your crew (for example, wind is from the north to south, fire is in the rear of the structure with some smoke showing from the attic vents, etc.). While standing across the street, have your crew take the apparatus around the block and respond into the building. Your crew will then be responsible for completing an assigned fireground operation (i.e., vent, forcible entry, fire attack, etc.) without your involvement. After the operation is completed:
- Have each member discuss their involvement and specific tasks.
- Modify any tasks as necessary.
- Vacant buildings that will be demolished are a prime training opportunity. Contact your building department to see if you can get a list of demolition permits.
- If you have access to a drill tower and can set training fires, use this opportunity to occasionally benefit from live fire training. Rotate members through all positions (firefighter, engineer, company officer, etc.).
- Dress members in full protective clothing and place a hood over their facepieces (members will see light but nothing else). Practice following hoselines and buddy-breathing techniques. During the drill, consider shutting off members' air and see how they handle the situation.
- Develop a quiz on specific fireground items/considerations around your station (or applicable location). Let your crew take the quiz then take them through the quiz. A written quiz with some drawings of specific locations/items of consideration does wonders for this drill.
John W. Mittendorf joined the Los Angeles City (CA) Fire Department (LAFD) in 1963, rising to the rank of captain II, task force commander. In 1981, he was promoted to battalion chief and in the year following became the commander of the In-Service Training Section. In 1993, he retired from LAFD after 30 years of service. Mittendorf has been a member of the National Fire Protection Research Foundation on Engineered Lightweight Construction Technical Advisory Committee. He has provided training programs for the National Fire Academy in Emmitsburg, Maryland; the University of California at Los Angeles; and the British Fire Academy at Morton-in-Marsh, England. He is a member of the editorial advisory board of Fire Engineering and author of the books Truck Company Operations (Fire Engineering, 1998) and Facing the Promotional Interview (Fire Engineering, 2003).

Why Is Health Care So Expensive?
Health Care in America is a Profitable Business
What Needs Fixing in the Health Care System
How to Fix Health Care in America
What Is a Good Health Care Plan?
What is a good health care plan
? A health care plan is good when it improves our health, it is accessible to everyone and it is affordable. American health care is not the best in the world. It is far from the best. The World Health Organization rated the United States only thirty-seventh in health outcomes, on a par with Serbia. Compared to other developed countries of the world, we die sooner, we are not as healthy, and we have more infant mortality and chronic disease. And yet, despite this poor report card, the United States spends more per person on health care than any other nation in the world. But we are not getting results from the money we spend.
Americans feel they have the right to good health care
, but health care is a disaster in this country. How bad is health in the United States? The incidence of cancer is rising. Eight percent of Americans have diabetes. One in five Americans has arthritis. Americans die from bronchitis, asthma and emphysema more often than people in six other major countries. Obesity, which is the indicator of future health problems, is a plague.
How Much Does Health Care Cost?
The cost of health care
includes money paid for health insurance, prescription drugs, hospitals, physicians, and high-technology tests and machines. The average prescription costs $70. A hospital room costs up to $1,700 per day. The cost of routine childbirth in a hospital is $8,000. Every year health care costs add up to a sixth of the gross national product. Today, however, medical insurance for a family of four costs more than $10,000 a year. That is what a full-time worker making minimum wage earns in a year.
Why Is Health Care So Expensive?
Where Does the Money Go?
Why is health care so expensive
? The cost of medical care is growing fast. And the costs of medical insurance plans are out of control. Did you know that most people did not have any health insurance before 1960?
Today most people get their health care plan
through their employer. The employer bears a large portion of the cost of health care. Except for the copay, people don't pay their medical bills out of their own pocket. People with medical insurance coverage feel that as long as they can afford the copay, it seems like medical care is almost free. The patients with medical insurance coverage don't need to know how much the procedure costs. Because they don't pay for it directly, they demand only the best. People have no incentive to negotiate down their medical costs. Patients are also reluctant to dicker on prices when they need a cure or immediate relief from pain. Finally, health care is so expensive because patients use medical treatment as a panacea for their bad lifestyle choices.
Health Care in America is a Profitable Business
So we ask, why is health care so expensive
? The present medical system is based entirely on profit. The medical system includes hospitals operated for profit, drug companies, medical technologies, medical insurance companies. The goal of making a profit interferes with good medical care and makes it more expensive. The United States is the only country in the world without a national system of health care.
Who profits from the American health care system
? The profit incentive affects all areas of medical care. Health care is big business. Pharmaceutical companies, insurance companies and HMOs determine what kind of medical care we get and how much it is going to cost.
Big pharmaceutical companies are very profitable businesses. Their biggest expense is advertising and marketing, not research and development. Drug companies are allowed to advertise their pills directly to the consumers, who are not qualified to evaluate them. Advertising encourages you to try a new drug as if it were bubble gum. Almost no other country in the world permits drug advertising.
Medical research is paid for by drug companies and device companies to prove-in their newest products. The almighty dollar buys a lot of junk research.
Medical education focuses on prescribing drugs for every patient. And the system encourages doctors to over-prescribe drugs. As one doctor said to a patient, "If you don't want a prescription, why did you come here?"
Because of the profit motive at health insurance companies, health insurance coverage is routinely denied to many people because they have a preexisting condition. In addition, people with health insurance are unjustly denied treatments on the ground that they are unnecessary or experimental.
Powerful new medical technology has not reduced medical costs, because it is overused and misused.
Doctors who depend on drug companies for information about new drugs are misinformed and under-informed.
The cost of malpractice insurance for every doctor adds to the cost of medical care. For many doctors, malpractice insurance is their biggest expense. Doctors order unnecessary diagnostic tests and scans to protect themselves from the threat of malpractice.
What Needs Fixing in the Health Care System
The cost of medical care is the number one cause of personal bankruptcy.
Doctors who become specialists make 5 times the annual income of family physicians. Thus we have a glut of specialists and a scarcity of family physicians and general practitioners.
General practitioners and nurses are in short supply.
Patients are dissatisfied with their medical care.
Doctors are unhappy in their profession because HMOs and insurance companies dictate what treatments to use and how much time to spend for a patient office visit.
Every doctor's office has an employee whose full-time job is to file paperwork with insurance companies and the government and to try to collect payment from them.
A large number of people cannot get medical insurance coverage. Either the insurance plans will not accept them or or they cannot afford the cost of the plan.
The health care system neglects preventive medicine, and rewards disease management.
Because the employer bears the major cost of health care insurance, the products and business services are more expensive and less competitive in the global marketplace.
Employees cannot change jobs, because they cannot qualify for a new medical insurance plan.
Unemployed workers have no health insurance coverage, and cannot afford the cost of Cobra or individual health plans.
How to Fix Health Care in America
Most people feel that we fix the health care crisis in America
if more people can afford health care insurance and more can qualify for health care insurance. In the short run, health care reform will relieve some of these problems. But the solution demands more than this.
In the long run, what will fix health care in America
and save the medical system is new paradigm and a new mindset. Physicians know that a lot of disease and chronic illness can be prevented. But the medical system is focused on managing disease rather than preventing it. We need medical professionals trained to emphasize preventive medicine and healthy lifestyles as the best way to good health. We need education that teaches people how to care for their health and motivates them to choose a healthy lifestyle. It starts with a healthy diet, exercise, stress management and lifestyle choices. We need to learn that health is our personal responsibility. We should learn how to protect and improve our health with good choices every day, choices to eat healthy, avoid smoking, and become physically fit. People forget that they can do more for their health than the entire medical system can do. Preventing disease is in their own hands. Health is a personal responsibility.
I hope life brings you much success.
I wish you a very happy day.

Gas Technologies Launches Worldwide Early Adopter Program
PETOSKEY, Mich., Feb. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Gas Technologies (GTL), manufacturer of the innovative GasTechno® gas to liquids process, launched the GasTechno Early Adopter Program (EAP). Limited to seven exclusive customers worldwide, the program is designed to introduce the company's flagship offering, the Mini-GTL(TM) methanol plant.
Participants will be selected through a competitive bidding process. EAP bid packages are available through the company and will be accepted until February 15, 2012. Companies wishing to tender bids for the GasTechno Early Adopter Program will be evaluated based on project merit and prospective opportunities for future collaboration in either commercial or developmental applications of the technology.
GasTechno's focus is the conversion and monetization of flared or stranded natural gas. The company is also evaluating and developing processes for methanol-to-diesel (MTD), methanol-to-gasoline (MTG), methanol-to-jet fuel, methanol-to-olefins (MTO), glycols, amines, fertilizers and other bolt-on processes that provide exceptional ROIs and high profit margins. Securing a "flare to fuels" partner with similar interests is a high priority for the program. Operators with gas resources at landfills and biodigesters are also targeted.
In support of the Early Adopter Program, the company is developing a financing strategy that allows Early Adopters to jointly participate in acquisition strategies targeting stranded natural gas reserves.
Though "proven" geologically, stranded reserves cannot be included in the bookable value of an asset without an economically viable method to deliver that product to market. Deploying a GasTechno plant on stranded reserves converts stranded gas to liquid product that sells at market prices trending well above pipeline prices. By converting and marketing stranded reserves at improved pricing, this strategy has the potential to improve asset valuations at more than 5 to 10 times by exploiting provisions in the modernized SEC oil and gas reporting requirements that permit the use of "alternative product pricing" to value proven reserves.
With record lows in the natural gas markets, companies are offering natural gas assets at very attractive pricing. "We want to demonstrate the enormous potential in stranded North American gas reserves; that will only be possible when industry understands the market potential in converting those reserves to liquids at the surface. Currently the industry focus is finding and developing natural gas liquids below ground, but few really understand the financial potential unlocked by small scale conversion of existing gas to liquids with GasTechno above ground," says Walter Breidenstein, CEO. "Our industry studies have been completed and all the economic and technical models are developed. Our goal in the Early Adopter Program is to open up our expertise and demonstrate what we have proven over the last several years in this growing sector."
The new financing strategy will be announced in Q1 that involves acquiring an existing public company with natural gas assets, or moving forward with a reverse merger. The company has securities attorneys and specialists working to complete the final structure and ensure it benefits all Early Adopter participants. Josephine Race, COO, stated, "Gas Technologies will be a global company within the next few years and we will do it with the support of our Early Adopters."
To be considered for the GasTechno Early Adopter Program contact CEO Walter Breidenstein and request an EAP bid package. Submissions will be accepted until February 15, 2012. Visit www.gastechno.com for details.

Banks to weigh CO2 emissions in power lending
- Tweet
- Share this
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Three Wall Street banks said on Monday they will set standards for factoring in environmental risks posed by carbon emissions when lending to power companies that seek to build coal-fired power plants.
Citigroup Inc, JP Morgan Chase & Co and Morgan Stanley will form "The Carbon Principles," climate change guidelines for advisers and lenders to power companies in the United States.
The standards do not preclude bank financing for building traditional coal-burning power plants, said Jeffrey Holzschuh, vice chairman at Morgan Stanley. Instead, they set up a more rigorous evaluation process, such as looking at the costs of storing carbon emissions and other risk factors.
"The Carbon Principles" establishes a process to include the impact of future global warming legislation on the loan risk of building new coal-fired power plants.
The principles are intended to be an industry-wide framework, and more financial institutions are expected to jump on board.
"I think there will be several other banks that will join in over the next few weeks," Holzschuh told Reuters.
Coal generates about half of U.S. electricity, but is the dirtiest emitter of the main greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide.
Traditional coal-fired plants have come under pressure from states and environmentalists, while Congress considers several bills that would cap greenhouse gas emissions. Presidential candidates also say they favor regulating the gases.
Plans for new coal-fired plants have been scuttled recently in Texas, Florida and Kansas as environmental groups work with banks to highlight their emissions risks.
But dozens more of the plants are in various stages of planning as the government predicts power demand to grow steadily in coming decades.
"The days of conventional coal are over," Mark Brownstein of Environmental Defense, one of the groups helping to form the framework, told Reuters.
The three banks developed the principles in consultation with environmental organizations and power companies, including American Electric Power Co, the nation's largest consumer of coal, and Southern Co, the largest utility company in the coal-heavy Southeast.
When assessing new coal-plant financing, the principles will also look at energy efficiency, advanced cleaner-coal technology for emitting less carbon, and renewable sources of power.
"Having just come from the subprime mess, financial institutions are taking a second look at their risk management practices," Brownstein told Reuters.
"Taking into account future CO2 liabilities is the way to make sure that the investments you make today don't come back to bite you tomorrow," he said.
Wall Street banks have been hit hard by the subprime mortgage debacle, taking tens of billions of dollars of write-downs on the loans to people with poor credit histories.
"They've bitten off a little piece," said Rebecca Tarbotton of Rainforest Action Network, an environmental group that did not participate in the standard setting talks.
"What we really need is an actual carbon principle that would include a commitment to reduce the financed-emissions across all sectors," Tarbotton said.

China took a milestone step in turning the yuan into a global currency on Saturday by doubling the size of its trading band against the dollar, pushing through a crucial reform that further liberalizes its nascent financial markets.
The People's Bank of China said it would allow the yuan to rise or fall 1 per cent from a mid-point every day, effective Monday, compared with its previous 0.5 per cent limit.
The timing of the move underlines Beijing's belief that the yuan is near its equilibrium level, and that China's economy, although cooling, is sturdy enough to handle important, long-promised, structural reforms, analysts said.
The move would help China deflect criticism of its controversial currency policy ahead of the annual spring meeting of the International Monetary Fund in Washington next week.
A slowing world economy that has pared investor expectations of a steadily rising yuan likely also gave Beijing the confidence to proceed, knowing that a larger band would not necessarily lead to a stronger currency.
"The central bank chose a good time window to enlarge the trading band. The market's expectation for a stronger yuan is weakening," said Dong Xian'an, chief economist at Peking First Advisory in Beijing.
"The move partially clears away doubts on whether China can manage a soft landing in its economy, and makes clear China's reform road map."
Investors have widely expected China to widen the yuan's trading band this year, thanks to repeated hints from Beijing that the change would take China one step closer to its financial goal: a basically convertible yuan by 2015.
Having a currency that trades with fewer restrictions also enhances Shanghai's status as a financial centre. China envisions turning the city into a global banking hub by 2020.
"From April 16, 2012, the trading band for the yuan against the dollar in the spot interbank currency market will be widened from 0.5 per cent to 1 per cent, " the People's Bank of China said in a short statement on its website.
"At present, the development of China's foreign exchange market is maturing, the market's ability to independently price and manage risks is growing by the day," the bank said.
Ultimately, the government wants the yuan to rival the dollar as a global reserve currency, and to this end it has gradually allowed the currency to trade more freely.
After a pilot program last year was judged successful, in March this year it gave permission for firms across China to pay for imports and exports in yuan, a way of helping to increase the use of the yuan in trade deals.
The yuan, also known as the renminbi or "people's money", hit a record high of 6.2884 against the dollar on Feb 10, but is little changed against the U.S. currency for the year, softening 0.14 per cent since January.
Analysts say its listless showing is likely to persist through 2012, as expectations of future gains are dulled by China's easing economic growth, and speculation that the yuan is near equilibrium.
As China this year heads into its biggest leadership changeover in a decade, it would be in Beijing's interests to avoid dramatic fluctuations in the yuan that could hurt exporters, many of whom are battling rising costs and tepid demand as it is.
"The yuan is close to an equilibrium. We expect it could only gain 1.4 per cent against the dollar this year, so the time is right to widen the band," said Lan Shen, an economist at Standard Chartered Bank in Shanghai.
So muted is the yuan's outlook that investors in the offshore non-deliverable forwards (NDF) market believe there is even room for the currency to fall. The benchmark one-year NDF is pricing for a 0.4 per cent depreciation.
Any decline would be a stark contrast to the yuan's steadfast rise in recent years. It jumped about 5 per cent in 2011 on top of nearly 4 per cent in 2010, giving investors the impression that China was comfortable with a rising currency.
It has gained about 30 per cent in nominal terms against the dollar since the landmark move in the summer of 2005 to de-peg the yuan from the greenback.
The yuan's value has always been a point of contention between China and its trading partners, notably the United States, which say China suppresses the currency to boost exports. China repeatedly rejects the accusation.
Instead, Chinese leaders say the yuan is near its equilibrium level and that authorities aim to keep its value "basically stable", more flexibility notwithstanding.
Beijing's desire to have the yuan trade more freely was stressed by both Premier Wen Jiabao and Central Bank Governor Zhou Xiaochuan in March when they said conditions were ripe for changes.
Their calls came even as China is set to confront its slowest economic growth in a decade this year, leading many to believe Beijing is ready to forsake heady growth for a restructured economy driven more by domestic than export demand.
Although not a primary intention, a more flexible yuan also works in China's favour in turbulent times by giving it more room to guide the currency lower to aid exports.
"The message of this move is that the renminbi appreciation story is over. Greater two way volatility will be the name of the game going forward," said Qu Hongbin, an economist at HSBC.
Data on Friday showed China's economy suffered its weakest growth since the global financial crisis in the first quarter by expanding just 8.1 per cent, below forecasts for 8.3 per cent.
The last time China changed its currency policy was in June 2010, after a two-year period when it effectively re-pegged the yuan to the dollar to shield China from the 2008-09 global financial crisis.
"I think the step should be welcomed by foreign countries, especially the United States, who has called for reforms," said Dongming Xie, China economist at OCBC Bank in Singapore. "This is also related to growing domestic calls for economic reforms."

There was a post on EJ that someone did some quick sims with a LB/Pyro/Scorch rotation. With Scorches higher crit rate and faster cast times its pretty close to Fireball and FFB.
Scorch = lower damage than fireball. But you'd be getting in more Hot Streak procs per encounter.
Anyone else think its kinda insane (and also awsome) that mages are getting close to 5 viable PvE Specs? (Arcane, Fireball, FFB, and now possibly Scorch and Frost).

Rogers still undecided on Taylor Way cellphone tower
Nearly one month after Rogers Communications closed public input on its proposed cellphone tower sites at the top of Taylor Way, the company said it's no closer to selecting a location.
In June, the communications company held an open house to highlight six possible locations for a new cellphone tower. Originally, Rogers wanted to build a 29.5-metre tower on provincial land on the grassy median between Highway 1 and its westbound Taylor Way off-ramp. The proposal, which is also backed by Telus, quickly met with opposition from the community and Rogers promised to work with the municipality to come up with alternatives.
Approximately 35 people attended the June meeting at Hollyburn Country Club, Rogers spokesperson Marina Guy told The Outlook. Of those individuals, 26 completed questionnaires.
The company also distributed approximately 250 consultation packages to households in the areas around the five proposed alternative sites. Additional packages were sent out electronically to the presidents of the Cedardale and British Properties Home Owners associations, Guy said.
"We completed feedback and we met with West Vancouver staff," she noted.
Rogers plans to meet with the district again because the municipality has requested further information, Guy said. After the upcoming meeting, Rogers will assess what direction to go in, she said.
Councillor Bill Soprovich warns the company needs to look to areas away from people's homes if they want the backing of the community.
"Most people at that meeting just wanted it to go away," Soprovich said.
If Rogers, for example, places the tower in the treed area adjacent to Highway 1, north of Capilano River, Soprovich believes few would protest.
It may cost the company more money, but it would win them good favour, he notes.
The tower is needed to address holes in coverage, Rogers says.

I'm writing this post to summarise a few exciting developments that happened in the last week or so.
For those who don't know, last week was the annual Game Connect Asia Pacific conference (GCAP) held in Melbourne, Australia. Several years ago this replaced AGDC (The Australian Game Developer Conference). Earlier in October we submitted Crabitron for the Australian Game Developer Awards, and it became a finalist in the Innovation and Excellence in Design categories. The awards are part of GCAP so I decided that it would be a good idea to attend the conference and awards night.
There were some pretty interesting talks throughout the conference, with panels made up of people like Mario Wynands from PikPok and Tony Albrecht from Overbyte. There were some interesting revelations for me when it came to just how large Asian mobile markets are and how much users don't care about ads in their games. These coupled with some very enlightening chats during the conference and after party gave me some good ideas for how to move forward with Crabitron in the future.
I was pretty nervous as they were announcing each finalist since I'd never attended a shindig of these proportions before. I had a hunch that Crabitron would have a good chance of winning the Innovation award. Then they read out some quotes from the judges about the winning game:
There is nothing else out there like this game – it
is a genre unto itself. It is simply the definition
of innovation. Not only that, it is also a lot of fun
and looks and sounds great. The studio behind
this innovative title deserve a lot of success from
this game.
I was fairly certain at this point and quite excited too. After they announced Crabitron as the winner I went up to the podium and accepted the awards and thanked several people and couldn't stop smiling. Recognition for years of hard work feels pretty good, and this was no exception.
After this I went back to my girlfriend, put my backpack back on and didn't give winning another award a second thought, until:
This game is a perfect example of a crazy idea
taken to its logical conclusion. As a candidate
for best design, I thought it stood out for exactly
that reason – great game design is the art of
doing a lot with a little.
And Crabitron won its second award of the night! This completely took me by surprise and I couldn't help but feel an overwhelming sense of pride as you can see in the photo below.
YOGSCAST Lewis & Simon
A few days ago we saw a spike in Crabitron related tweets and the ranking in several countries shot up as if by magic. This appeared to be coming from a video on YouTube by YOGSCAST. From what I can tell YOGSCAST is a collective of YouTube channels who do reviews and Let's Plays of games. They are also ridiculously popular. Crabitron was only mentioned at the start of the video but featured prominently in the title and thumbnail. One of the reviewers had great praise for the game and said several times that "It's the best game on iPad".
With 6 million subscribers and over 400K views on the video to date, this has had a dramatic effect on sales. To put this in perspective, we were barely holding a top-200 chart position for the game subcategories Action and Simulation. During the height of the video's traffic we reached #59 in US iPad Top Selling and #6 in UK iPad Top Selling. This pushed the daily game sales from an average of $15 a day to well over $2000 during its peak. We are now seeing the sales and ranking subside but we are still overjoyed with the response. This proves that the game still has loads of potential customers, we just need to find new ways to reach them.
From our experience and what others have been saying, games often survive through a series of spikes where sales surge in response to short lived exposure to a large number of potential customers. This includes things such as, New & Noteworthy or Editors Choice as well as popular YouTube channels and Websites. So far we've seen the most impactful responses from YouTube channels and Apple features but there may be other yet untapped sources of exposure.

"Great feature set, amazing lens, fair video"
4.5 starson by drdfwattPros: 1) 36 x zoom - can shoot almost anything from very wide-angle to extreme telephoto in lightweight package
2) Great flexibility - more modes than you can possibly use, including multiple high speed and high definition video modes
3) Finally, Nikon makes aCons: 1) in video modes, focus seems sometimes hit or miss, seems to take a long time to actually focus when panning or zooming
2) pictures can seem a bit soft and lack apparent resolution
3) anything above ISO 400 is mostly unusable except for very small pictSummary: this camera is basically only a modest tweaking of the P100, except for the incredible lens. Unquestionably the most amazing lens kit Nikon or anyone else has ever made. To go from an extreme wide angle to over 800 mm (35mm equivalent) is remarkable in such a small lightweight package. However this also means a small sensor, with all the attendant trade-offs, particularly the less than great performance in low light, subsequent aggressive noise reduction in anything above ISO 400, and the usual deterioration of picture quality in low light.
Balancing all this is the fact that no other compact super zoom camera manages to escape these physical Constraints, although I believe the Panasonic FZ 100 does do a better job With preserving video quality, although probably not picture quality compared to the Nikon P500. If you accept that this type of camera involves some intrinsic compromises (poor low light performance, lower effective resolution than its pixel count would suggest particularly compared to a digital SLR) then you won't be unhappy with the results. In order to get this kind of lens range on a digital SLR, you have to probably carry two or three lenses, costing thousands and thousands of dollars and weighing a boatload. To get all this flexibility for under $400, despite some compromises, seems like a pretty good deal. If you're looking for SLR quality, well, first of all you'll be disappointed, and secondly, you should know better.
Compared to the competition (at this point that really means Canon's and Panasonic's competing super zoom models), the Nikon P500 offers a better lens, slightly faster operation than the Canon, and slightly poorer video than the Panasonic. It weighs less than either of the other models and is roughly the same size. Although the Panasonic beats it significantly in the video department (an increasingly important feature for a lot of people), Panasonic loses points because their JPEG algorithm produces more problematic results than Nikon's.
All in all, 4.5/5 stars.

LLVM Developers Ponder Using C++11 Features
Published on 09 January 2013 01:00 AM EST
Written by
Michael Larabel
6 Comments
C++11 is an ISO standard
and the Clang C/C++ compiler front-end to LLVM
has been supporting C++11
, developers behind the LLVM compiler infrastructure are still deciding whether to allow C++11 language features within their code-base.
Chris Lattner, Apple employee and founder of the LLVM project, has asked fellow developers about allowing C++11 language features in LLVM itself. With it being a "quiet and peaceful day", Lattner sparked a conversation about "how crazy would it be for us to start using basic C++'11 language features in LLVM." This would only be about C++11 language features but not any C++11 library features. Among the mentioned language features would be auto, rvalue-refs, and lambdas.
For allowing C++11 features to be used within the LLVM code itself, it would need to be decided what features would be allowed and ensuring that the important compilers to building LLVM/Clang can handle the new functionality: Microsoft Visual Studio on Windows, GCC on Linux, and Clang for FreeBSD/OSX.
Chris says, "On the one hand, this would greatly clean up code and is definitely the path forward. On the other hand, I don't want to substantially harm adoption or use of LLVM by adding another burden to building and developing it."
Eventually LLVM will definitely be using the C++11 language, but it's a matter of when it happens and the acceptance criteria. "If doing this would be a big problem for you, please speak up, and explain how/when the problem can be resolved. We will certainly adopt C++'11 features someday, so even if it isn't soon, it is good to have the discussion to find out what the issues are."
The current C++11 LLVM discussion can be found from
this developer mailing list thread

New research is looking at questions about the complex effects of antibiotics — on bacteria, on individual children and on populations — building on a greatly increased awareness of how powerful antibiotics can be, and how important it is to use them judiciously. "We clearly have to use antibiotics and are lucky to have them around," said Dr. Matthew P. Kronman, who is a specialist in pediatric infectious diseases at Seattle Children's Hospital.

Critical Overview
Critics of the original production of Trouble in Mind found much to praise. Harry Raymond of The Daily Worker wrote, "Trouble in Mind is a play with an important point of view about the problems of Negro actors in the theatre. She has written about it with a brightness and compassion that sends the audience home with some sound thoughts on one of the major social problems in the field of American culture." The critic of the New York Times agreed with Raymond's sentiment, arguing that "Miss Childress has some witty and penetrating things to say about the dearth of roles for Negro actors in the contemporary theatre, the cut-throat competition for these parts, and the fact that Negro actors often find themselves playing stereotyped roles in which they cannot being themselves to believe." Subsequent critics, like Helen Keyssar in her 1984 essay "Foothills: Precursors of Feminist Drama," take...

Do these names fit the personalities?
Okay, so I sort of decided on names for this one before I had a background and description for the characters, and the characters just aren't ending up to have the personalities I planned originally.
Main character:
Canyon Reynolds (has a twin - Lincoln Reynolds) - sons of a powerful government official (Atticus Reynolds) and are about 17 or 18 years old.
What do you think of these?
- Cecily Vaughn
- Nikolai Romanov (Can you think of a better obviously Russian last name without the connotations? I cant seem to)
- Annabelle James ("Annie")
These need to be somewhat memorable, especially Canyon's character. I have become sort of attached to Canyon, but does it work? thanks!
April 8th, 2013 04:46 PM #3
Cecily Vaughn is very nice, sounds like the name of a reporter with really good hair.
Nikolai .... what about something similar but less familiar - like Rusanov, Rudov or Marinov
Annabelle James is fine. A bit plain, but it could fit the character well. Annie is very cute.
I personally don't know if I would take a book seriously if the main character was named Canyon--it seems too much of a guilty pleasure name, especially from a politician. But if you're very attached to it, then stand by it.
Other options might be:
Caius/Cassius - reminds me of the father's name
Camden - similar feel to Canyon but more namelike
Coleman - goes well with LincolnLivy/Lucy : Geneva/Gwen : Coralie/Alice : Noelle/Eve
Eli/Bennett : Jude/Zane: Luke/Leo : Levi/Phineas
April 8th, 2013 05:02 PM #5
Cecily Vaughn is nice; I see a businesswoman with a light-hearted personality, but can become serious when the circumstance calls for it.
Nikolai - I don't care for the name itself, but I'm also blinded by the fact that I just read Crime and Punishment for school, which contained a character with a similar name...so I end up thinking of a painter, or a criminal. Here's a site with some Russian last names: http://www.buzzle.com/articles/russian-last-names.html
Annabelle James - Alright, but it seems to be a cookie-cutter character name...something that can fit pretty much any personality. A cute nickname might give a little more personality though.
I don't really like Canyon, nor do I think it goes very well with Lincoln. Since he's a politician's son and his twin is Lincoln, maybe another president's name would be fitting.

I think these names are pretty nice:
- Cecily Vaughn - I really like Cecily
- Nikolai Romanov (Try behind the surnames.com they have some Russian last names), Nikolai is always fun.
- Annabelle James- I don't really like James as a last name but I guess it works.
Well I really don't like it. I think with a twin named Lincoln (which is one of my favorites right now) it sounds weird. It doesn't go well. It makes me wonder why Atticus would name one son something really masculine and strong sounding and naming the other after a landmark. Maybe it could be a nickname. I agree with tay2thestars, since he's a politician, maybe another president's name would work.
April 9th, 2013 01:46 PM #9
Nikolai Romaniv was a czar FYI. NO ONE in Russia won't use the same name as a czar.
@kala_way - Rusanov, Rudanov or Marinov are not Russian surnames. At least, not crazy popular ones. Marina is a girl name and Russian don't have last names from girl names, only from boy(Roman - Romanov, Ivan - Ivanov, Petr - Petrov).
Nikolai Zaharov, Popov or Frolov will be just fine. BTW, Kolya is a Russian nn for Nikolai.
Sorry, but Lincoln and Canyon don't sound like children of a powerful man. If their dad is powerful, he most likely won't name his kids after presidents. And Canyon sounds more like a guilty pleasure.
Cecily Vaughn is a great name. Annabelle James is fine too and I like Annie.Victoria

text: Montgomery County annually receives Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) funds from the United States Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The primary objective of the CDBG Program, as set forth by Congress is "the development of viable urban communities, by providing decent housing and a suitable living environment and expanding economic opportunities, principally for persons of low and moderate income." Federal regulations define persons who are low and moderate-income as households earning under 80% of the area median income, as determined by HUD, adjusted by household size. Montgomery County administers CDBG funds on behalf of all Montgomery County communities, excluding the cities of Dayton and Kettering. The Countywide Citizens Advisory Committee and the Community Development Advisory Committee are comprised of officials and volunteers representing participating jurisdictions and provide guidance to Montgomery County regarding CDBG funding and program guidelines decisions. General Program Guidelines and Eligibility Eligible Applicants The following types of organizations are eligible to apply for CDBG funds: Eligible Projects CDBG projects must meet one of three national objectives established for the Community Development Block Grant Program: Federal regulations restrict the amount of CDBG funds that may be used for human services. Consequently, the majority of CDBG funds are used for capital projects, housing repair, and economic development. Capital projects involve the acquisition and/or improvement of real property. CDBG funds may be used for acquisition of land and buildings as well as for design, engineering, permits and construction costs. Funds may also be used for related project costs such as property appraisal, property surveys, closing costs, legal fees, demolition, hazardous materials abatement, landscaping, project management and relocation assistance for households or businesses displaced temporarily or permanently by a CDBG-assisted project.Community Development Block Grant
