App Subscription Policies Raise Concerns
Along with today's launch of the Daily publication for the iPad, Apple also rolled out the new in-app subscription feature of iTunes that will support it. Now, devs and publishers can create free or paid apps that contain content users will have to subscribe to, a feature that people have wanted for a while. However, not everybody's happy about it: some European publishers say they feel "betrayed" at how Apple is dealing with in-app content delivery after the Sony Reader controversy.
During the Daily announcement, Apple VP of Internet Services Eddy Cue said very little about in-app subscriptions, though he promised that there would be more information about that soon. However, if you downloaded anything from iTunes today, you probably noticed that the Terms and Conditions had been updated yet again to cover the new In-App Subscriptions rules, so there's some details we can glean from that. Subscriptions will all be handled through a new Manage App Subscriptions section in iTunes, and you can apparently subscribe for varying time periods, such as weekly or monthly. You will be able to set your subscription to renew automatically, and you won't be charged for the next subscription until 24 hours or less before your current subscription expires. If the subscription rate goes up, your auto-renewal will be automatically canceled. through a new section in your iTunes account.
The exact size of the cut Apple takes is not known at this point, but it's probably safe to assume that it's close to the 30% they skim for apps and in-app purchases. This, among other things, has publishers in Europe up in arms. "Because Apple takes 30 percent of the transaction," Grzegorz Piechota, the European president of the International Newsmedia Marketing Association says, "that makes it harder and worse for readers because it will mean charging more for the iPad app to make up the revenue." The whole idea of running subscriptions through Apple remains a sticking point. "If you decide to sell subscriptions through this Apple's channel," says Piechota, "you lose all the customer relationship data."
Apple's inconsistency and vagueness about the rules may sound familiar to devs who have struggled with App Store acceptance criteria. "Apple said yesterday that that in their policy with Sony Reader, they are not changing anything, just enforcing existing rules," complains Piechota. "But when they talk to publishers direct, they are saying something else." And it's not just publishers who are mad: the economy minister of Belgium is opening an investigation on "whether Apple is guilty of abuse of power." While it's not clear yet whether readers will flock to the new style of publishing, it's already creating waves.

What is troubling is that AAPL has the ability to control the content; not saying they'd use that power, but the conduit is there.

Apple has been hanging out with Foxconn too much. They have become evil.

Nike LeBron X Low – Red Plum – Electric Green – Black
June 19th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | 10 comments
Is the Nike LeBron X Low also donning that "Mercurial" look? This pair kind of makes it seem so, with the combination of red plum and electric green appearing an awful lot like that recent special release of the Nike Kobe 8. This time around though the Swoosh sports green mostly for its border, the innards being black with a little bit of a speckle on top. Take a look at this possible Nike LeBron X Low "Mercurial" release right after the jump and stay tuned to Sneaker News to find out if they'll be in stores or not.

Born in Kentucky in 1963, Johnny Depp, landed his first legitimate movie role in the film Nightmare on Elm Street (1984) after having taken on several smaller parts. Afterwards, he began studying acting. The lessons paid off in 1987, when he landed a role on the television show 21 Jump Street. He has since starred in several popular films and gained notoriety for his work on the silver screen. Depp has also become known for taking on darker roles,
"I fear [dancing] more than anything in the world. Doing a film when it's choreographed and you're a character, it's alright. But in life I'd rather swallow a bag of hair."
"The only creatures that are evolved enough to convey pure love are dogs and infants."
"Puberty was very vague. I literally locked myself in a room and played guitar."
"I was so uncomfortable being a product, I swore to myself that I would choose my own path."
"It's not like I was ever looking to become franchise boy, I was never looking to become anything like that. I just latched on to a character I loved."
[on playing Captain Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean"]
"At some point, it became more honest for me on set. I understand it—everything is defined ... It has become very natural, while the outside world has become unnatural."
"I think, as an actor, if you get to a place where you're satisfied, you're happy with it, then you're dead—it's over."
"I don't trust anyone who hasn't been self-destructive in some way ... You've got to bang yourself around a bit to know yourself."
"I can't think of myself in terms of celebrity. It's just too weird. If the choice is between being constantly gawked at and sitting in a chair in a dark room, I prefer the dark room."
"When I was 12 I wanted to learn how to play the guitar and I found a chord book in a shop and I stuffed it down my trousers. And that's how I learned to play the guitar."
"I imagined what George Bush would be like incredibly stoned. And thus was born my version of Willy Wonka."
in films such as Edward Scissorhands (1990), Sleepy Hollow (1999) and Alice in Wonderland (2010).
Early Life
Actor Johnny Depp was born John Christopher Depp II, in Owensboro, Kentucky, on June 9, 1963, to parents John and Betty Sue Depp. Depp's father worked as a civil engineer, and his mother came from full-blooded Cherokee stock, and worked as a waitress and homemaker. The youngest of four children, Depp was withdrawn and a self-admitted oddball. "I made odd noises as a child," he later revealed in an interview. "Just did weird things, like turn off light switches twice. I think my parents thought I had Tourette's syndrome."
Johnny and his family moved frequently to accommodate his father's job, finally landing in Miramar, Florida, when Johnny was 7 years old. The family lived in a motel for nearly a year, until his father found a job. Depp hated his new home and, by the age of 12 began smoking, experimenting with drugs, and engaging in self-harm due to the stress of family problems. "Puberty was very vague," he has said. "I literally locked myself in a room and played guitar."
In 1978, when Depp was 15, his parents got divorced. As the youngest of four, it became Johnny's job to go to his father's office and pick up the weekly child-support money. The split caused a rift between Johnny and his father.
At 16, Depp dropped out of high school and joined the garage band, The Kids. The group became successful enough to open for the Talking Heads and the B-52s, but they barely made ends meet. Depp lived for months in a friend's '67 Chevy Impala.
Introduction to Acting
In 1983, at the age of 20, Johnny met and married 25-year-old makeup artist Lori Allison. That same year, the couple moved to L.A. with Depp's band in the hopes of striking it big. Still living on a shoestring budget, Depp and his band mates supported themselves by selling pens for a telemarketing firm.
A year later, Depp fell into acting when his wife introduced him to her ex-boyfriend, actor Nicolas Cage. Cage saw potential in Depp, and introduced the hopeful musician to a Hollywood agent. After several small roles as a film extra, Depp landed his first legitimate movie role in the horror film Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). By 1985, the Kids had broken up—and so had Depp's marriage. After his split with Allison, Depp met actress Sherilyn Fenn, whom he met on the set of the short film, Dummies (1985). The couple dated, and were briefly engaged, but split shortly after.

Buhl Adjustable Steel AV Cart
Review JD from Gallatin, TN– Verified Buyer Well made. Better than I expected |
Great Cart for Electronics Closet KB from Texarkana, AR– Verified Buyer I bought this cart to organize our home electronics closet. We did "central wiring" when we built the house so everything comes into the one closet: cable/satellite/stereo/gaming equipment is all in there. It was a mess and we did not build any shelves because we need to occassionally get components in/out or adjust wiring when a new component is added. This cart is perfect for handling the components and it is now dead simple to pull the cart straight out (it fits thru a standard closet door easily) to access any part of the equipment that we wish we had done this years ago! |
Just what we needed Just Enough from Washington, DC– Verified Buyer This was exactly what we needed for the office. |
Just what I was looking for Lolo from Titusville, FL– Verified Buyer Assembly labels were mixed up on one of the shelves. Created some confusion on assembling properly. |
Size Misrepresented SS from Florida Very nice cart, however the size is misrepresented. The top/middle shelf are NOT 26" x 18", but rather 24" x 18". Those extra two inches do make a difference when planning on using it for a specific piece of equipment. |
excellent Peter from Charlottesville, VA– Verified Buyer I love my av cart. |
Great product for a great price Ryan from Wichita, KS– Verified Buyer I purchased this cart for my A/V portion of my business, and it's a great product. I'll definitely be buying more of them. |

The Adventure Continues
August 12, 2013
When J. K. Rowling finished the seventh Harry Potter novel, many people thought the adventure was over.
August 8, 2013
I awoke to the sound of flapping. The room was dark and I couldn't see very far, but the sense of motion around my head was unmistakable. Just then, a flash of a tiny winged creature with outstretched wings, and then it was gone.
Mobilize Your Organization With Collective Storytelling
August 5, 2013
Collective storytelling is the weaving of individual memories and aspirations into one large-scale, living narrative. Harnessing the power of collaboration, collective storytelling builds the story of a group or movement. It gives us the insight and fosters the cooperation we need to make sense of the world around us and learn from the good work in front of us.
Movement People
August 1, 2013
Rick and Kay Warren are movement people, which is why they told a movement story after their son's suicide. They know their story emboldens others to open the door on the secrets and shame around mental illness; they know their story invites others to speak.

Quote:I found a couple of SK5 lens blanks that I had bought and forgot I had. Plano concave, about 110mm dia, 18mm thick. Other than the fact that they are a heavy crown glass with a higher index of refraction, they don't seem to be anything special. I am thinking about using them for grinding tools as I don't have a lot of money tied up here.Anybody out there who can suggest a better use for this glass? Thanks for any ideas.

Quote:Those SK5 blanks -- I looked SK5 up in a glass catalog and they are not ordinary crown, but Special Crown, and not in the ordinary run of crown glasses. I'd advertize these and some sharp cookie will be glad to have them. I think that a very fair price for each of them, but others may share their thoughts.And the sharp cookies are all over the place in this forum!
Quote:Well, you could pop for a blank of Ohara S-FPL53 and make this apochromatic lens. 100mm aperture, 1000mm EFL, corrected over the 0.4358-0.6563 µm spectrum and 20mm diameter FOV.
Quote:Your estimate on the BK7 cost might be a little high. I was thinking more like about $600-$700 for a 110x16mm S-FPL53 blank. Should get a real quote from Naked Optics or Newport on it before scaring the poor guy with sticker.

The popular screen team of Claudette Colbert and Fred MacMurray stars in this wartime farce. MacMurray is an army pilot who develops engine trouble during a vital mission. Thinking he's about to die, MacMurray radios back his undying affection for his dog "Piggy." But the radio reception is fuzzy, and it is assumed that he has said "Peggy"--which happens to be the character name of Colbert, who intercepts the message. MacMurray survives the plane crash, whereupon he is whisked back home into the arms of Peggy, which is not to the liking of Peggy's gormless fiance (Gil Lamb). Practically Yours was guaranteed to make money, which it did. Its humor not meant to survive the ages, which it hasn't. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

ESPN.com: Reilly, Rick | [Print without images] |
Andrew Luck, left, makes fewer errors when scrambling than Robert Griffin III. |
Stop the engraver. Hold up on the parade. Tell the sculptor to take a coffee break.
Before the whole world gives Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III the NFL Rookie of the Year, and the MVP award, and maybe the election, let's all just wake up and smell the sanity.
Yes, he's electric. Yes, Bob has been unBoblievable. Yes, he's cuddly and handsome and the son every mother wants.
There's only one problem: He's not even the best rookie QB in the league.
The two-word rebuttal:
You don't know this because RG3 works in Washington, D.C., the media magnet where people like my friend Michael Wilbon work and watch every Redskins game and then get lightheaded and say things like what he said on radio this week, which was "RG3 is the best player in the whole league."
Whoa. We've GOT to get you DIRECTV, Mike.
Andrew Luck, left, posted a QBR of 68.2 compared to Aaron Rodgers' 54.7 QBR in the Colts 30-27 victory over the Packers in September. |
If you had it, you'd know that Luck has been just a tablespoon better than RG3. He's thrown consistently deeper than RG3. He's been more clutch and less mistake-prone. He's scrambled better than RG3 and has run just fine. He's practically been RG4.
What is it, Mike, RG3's cute sock collection?
"It's like they're not watching Andrew Luck," says a man who analyzes quarterbacks for a living, Jeff Bennett, the curator of the most comprehensive QB stat ever invented, ESPN's QBR (total quarterback rating). "One is being called a savior. But the other is just as successful and no one seems to notice."
If you want a stat that considers everything a QB does, and when he does it, and what was at stake when he did it, then Bennett's QBR stat is for you. Going into Week 8, it had the Mannings at 1 and 2 (Peyton, then Eli), with Tom Brady third. Sound about right? In the QBR rankings, Luck is sixth and Griffin eighth.
But it tells you more than that. For instance, it tells you:
What is it, Mike, all of RG3's Subway ads?
Wait! I'm clairvoyant! I know exactly what you're going to say next!
Reilly, you single-celled organism. Griffin leads the NFL in completion percentage! He's third in the league in passer rating! Luck is second to last!Oh, you mean NFL passer rating, the most useless stat in football? The 41-year-old fossil that was invented, literally, on a slide rule? The one that doesn't even consider running or fumbles or time of game or score? Yeah, I know that stat. That stat is the whole problem.
RG3 kills in that stat because he's nibbled his way to a league-leading 70.4 percent completion rating. Given the way the Redskins have babied him, Katy Perry in heels could throw for 60 percent. More than 20 percent of RG3's passes this season haven't even traveled across the line of scrimmage. Only 6 percent of Luck's haven't. If you do a cannonball and I do a triple backflip with a McTwist and we both get straight 9s, whose dive was better?
Robert Griffin III has seven fumbles this year. Five happened when he was rushing. |
I don't blame the Skins for babying Griffin. Why wouldn't they? He's America's baby. Mike Shanahan (283 games as a head coach in the NFL) has a good enough team to do that. It beat the New York Giants twice last year.
But under Bruce Arians (three games as a head coach in the NFL), Luck inherited a team that would pass nicely for a Salvation Army drop off box. The Colts have Luck and Reggie Wayne and just about nobody else. Their running backs couldn't get through a wall of Gillette Foamy. And they've already won more games this year (three) than last year (two).
What is it, Mike, RG3's fabulous hair?
If people would just look at these two guys, they'd see Luck has been even more heroic than Mr. Superhero Action Figure Guy.
Luck beat the Green Bay Packers with a TD pass with 35 seconds left. The Green. Bay. Packers. He beat the Vikings after getting the ball on his own 20 with 30 seconds left and drove downfield for the winning field goal. Against the Jags, he pulled off a miraculous game-winning march in the last minute, only to watch the Jags complete an 80-yard stunner at the end.
Don't get me wrong. If you made me choose, I'd rather watch RG3. He swerves and curves as though his hips were removed at birth. But he doesn't seem to care much about the football when he's doing it. He's fumbled five times on runs already this season, and two of them potentially cost the Redskins games. Give me Luck, who hasn't fumbled on a run once.
Look, I love both these guys. Both have been twice as good as advertised, great leaders, and kick-the-dirt humble.
But only one of them is getting any attention.
And that socks.

The shadowy Mackinac Center for Public Policy is the largest right-wing, state-level policy think-tank in the nation.
One of its primary goals is to dismantle public education in Michigan, replacing traditional public schools with profit-making institutions. In a leaked email sent to state Rep. Tom McMillin, R-Rochester Hills, the Mackinac Center's senior legislative analyst admitted, "Our goal is outlaw government collective bargaining in Michigan, which is practical terms means no more MEA."

I have a stored procedure that accepts @date as a parameter. The sp fills a table with various data that is asscoaited with the date entered as a parameter. How would I go about putting in logic that if you enter the same date twice as a parameter it will delete all the rows that were previously associated with that date in the table and enter the new information for that date? Right now if Run my stored procedure twice exec sp_test'09-12-2011' It will put the same data in twice. I need it to recognize that the date already exists in the table then delete all the rows associated with it. Then re-enter the new rows of that date. I am not sure how to go about this. Does this make sense?
(comments are locked)
Before filling the table, your procedure needs a delete statement to empty the table of any information pertaining to the supplied date. Maybe something like
delete from dateRelatedTable where dateInTheTable = @date That was simple. I was way overthinking it.

The New York Times website went down yesterday afternoon, apparently the result of "a malicious external attack" by the Syrian Electronic Army, the Times (which is now back) reported. The outage, which lasted well into the evening, was first reported around 3 p.m.
Some people who tried to refresh the site during the afternoon saw the icon of the Syrian Electronic Army and a message saying that the site had been hacked. Read More

Idea Starter: Sign the Declaration of Independence
November 12, 2009 by Ben Edwards · Leave a Comment
Teachers are always looking for great idea starters that can help them formulate better and more interesting lesson plans. Today's idea starter uses modern technology to do the impossible – it enables your students to sign the Declaration of Independence. Before they actually sign and print their own personal copy of the document, it is important that students understand more about its history and the risks the original 56 signers took when they affixed their own signatures. All of this is possible thanks to the Charters of Freedom Exhibit online at the National Archives website. Here you can download high resolution versions of the Declaration of Independence, The Constitution and The Bill of Rights and get a better understanding of these all important American documents. There is a wonderful link called The Declaration of Independence: A History that contains information on where the document has traveled over the course of its lifetime, how it was copied and how it is preserved today. Also, be sure to visit the Declaration Timeline. You can learn more about the signers of the Declaration at the Signers Gallery and while you're there, don't miss the Signers Fact Sheet (PDF). There is also an excellent Declaration Facts link and not surprisingly, with the popularity of the movie National Treasure, the first question asked and answered there is "Is anything written on the back of the Declaration of Independence?" The answer to that question is Yes – more on that below.
In order for your students to sign the Declaration, have them click on the "sign the Declaration of Independence" link above. They will need to choose a printer type (color or black and white), and after a brief on screen introduction students can select the quill pen they prefer (each produces a different style of writing). Then have each student type their name into the box provided and click the Submit button. Now the most important part of all – up on the screen comes the following message: "Are you sure you want to sign the Declaration of Independence? If you had been a member of the Second Continental Congress in 1776, you were a rebel and considered a traitor by the King. You knew that a reward had been posted for the capture of certain prominent rebel leaders and the largest British armada ever assembled was just outside New York harbor. Affixing your name to the document meant that you pledged your life, your fortune, and your sacred honor to the cause of freedom." In order for your students to get a better feel for the pressure the members of the Second Continental Congress were feeling, view the video below called John Adams – Declaration of Independence from the HBO miniseries John Adams.
If your students elect to sign, each will view their own signature along with all the other signers on the Declaration of Independence. When they print the document, the following will appear along the bottom: "This image comes from William J. Stone's 1823 copper plate engraving produced by direct impression from the original Declaration itself." To learn more about the Stone engraving of the Declaration and see an original copy from 1823 view the video below called The Declaration of Independence – July 4, 1776. The video features author, public speaker, and historic document and manuscript collector Stan Klos and items from his Rebels with a Vision exhibit. In this excellent video you will learn how the Stone engraving was produced and how long it took William J. Stone to engrave the copper plate. Your students will be stunned by the answer. Before I wrap up this post, let's return to the back of the Declaration of Independence. The National Archives website tells us what is on the back – the words "Original Declaration of Independence dated 4th July 1776". I still cling to the hope that there is an invisible treasure map though – how about you? With that hope in mind, a link to the National Treasure trailer is listed below.

Winning With DraftSight: Real 2D Stories 2DAY
November 14, 2011 by Darren Hobbies 0
As a kid growing up in Slovakia, computer programmer Kamil Szabo was always fascinated by the Mars Exploration Rovers. NASA calls them "robot geologists" based on their mission to search for signs of water on the Red Planet.
But let's face it — even if those vehicles had no scientific purpose whatsoever, the fact that these "toys" are still roaming free seven years after they crash landed on Mars is absolutely amazing.
The 24-year-old Kamil's robotic dreams are much closer to home. He wants to travel to Vienna in the fall of 2012 to compete in Robotour, an international five-country competition where robot designers send their creations to deliver a payload (a five liter beer barrel) to pre-selected coordinates in a city park.
A ticking countdown clock to 2012 Robotour anchors Kamil's personal website, which chronicles the development of his Spirit Junior robot.
If NASA ever needs beer barrels delivered on Mars, perhaps the Spirit Junior could fill the void. Read More
