AT&T Puts Its Name On Performing Arts Megaplex
We've become accustomed to sports venues selling naming rights but increasingly it's not just the stadiums that get the big deals. Performing arts centers are getting in on the act too. It was recently announced that the new performing arts complex in Dallas, Texas which is set to open October 12 will be called the AT&T Performing Arts Center. The $354 million facility will offer hundreds of performances every year in four different venues and a ten-acre urban park.
It has not been revealed how much AT&T is spending for the honor. Most of the funds for the center have been raised through public donations and the funds from AT&T will help boost the operations budget. The center is part of a growing trend of entertainment facilities which are branded and for technology companies entertainment venues have particular allure. Nokia in particular has lent its name to several theaters across the United States. Given the incredible downturn in private donations to the arts over the past year as well as a trimming in city, state and national arts budgets, it's easy to guess that this will be an ongoing trend.

PHILADELPHIA -- Twenty-seven touchdown passes and two interceptions in 317 pass attempts has earned Nick Foles the right to call himself the Philadelphia Eagles' starting quarterback for the next eight months. After that? We'll see.
Eagles coach Chip Kelly said this week that the plan right now is to have Foles as the team's starting quarterback next season. But he said that doesn't mean Foles won't have competition for the job next summer when training camp opens.
"There's always competition," Kelly said. "And I think you can ask Nick that too. I don't think Nick is going to think he can go out and throw 12 interceptions in a row, which he'll never do, but do that and still be (the starter).
"One of the things we do here is we compete and we have a bunch of guys that compete. Obviously, you've got to have one guy. Right now, Nick is that one guy. But I don't think Nick has ever been afraid of competition. We're always going to try to continue to upgrade at every position, and I think all of our players know that, and I think the guys that are true competitors really embrace that."
Foles' 119.2 passer rating this season was the third highest in league history. But he's played just two seasons and has a total of 17 career starts.
He still has a year left on his rookie contract. So the Eagles don't have to make any kind of long-term decision on Foles until after next season.
With Michael Vick a free agent and not expected to return, there's a pretty good chance the Eagles will select a quarterback in the draft at some point. And there's a good chance it will be a quarterback who can run.
Foles understands the whole concept of NFL standing for Not For Long.
"If you don't play well in this league for a certain amount of games, you probably won't be the starter," he said.
--Michael Vick will be a free agent and isn't expected to be re-signed. The 33-year-old quarterback is hoping some team will be interested in giving him an opportunity to compete for a starting job.
"I'm praying that things work out in my favor, but you never know," Vick said. "I'll just try to stay optimistic about it from a realistic standpoint, as far as what I want and the things that I can attain and try to achieve."
Asked at his final press conference about his experience with Vick, Kelly said, "I love Michael Vick. I mean, that guy is awesome, and I think how he handled a very difficult situation, because of Nick's success, I don't think that -- that's not any indication of Michael's non-success, and I think from what we've asked him to do since I got here, he's done everything. Unfortunately he got hurt, and that gave an opportunity to another guy, and I think sometimes for a lot of people, you put yourself in those shoes, that's hard to wrap your arms around because it's not like Michael was wrong and that Michael got benched.
"It was just a unique situation, and I think how he handled it, how he helped Nick through the process, it just tells you the type of person he is and the type of teammate he is, and I think that didn't go unnoticed by me, and I appreciate everything he did my first year here.

Vale of Glamorgan police warning over rogue traders
9:37am Friday 22nd February 2013 in News
POLICE in the Vale of Glamorgan are warning householders not to fall victim to unscrupulous rogue traders who call at their homes offering to carry out work.
The warning comes after an elderly resident in the Vale was a targeted by two men offering to carry out some gardening work and maintenance.
Acting Inspector Darren Grady of South Wales Police said: "Rogue traders use unscrupulous tactics and target residents, particularly the elderly or vulnerable, and deliberately overcharge for unsatisfactory services. They are often linked to distraction burglaries.
"Distraction burglars use tactics to deceive the victim to get into their home to steal valuables. They claim to be from the water board, the electricity company, council or other organisations and they will try to pressurise the person who answers the door.
"I want to raise public awareness of doorstep crime and provide reassurance that South Wales Police is dedicated to tackling these offences."
When a stranger calls at your door, follow the Police Doorstep Code:
● When someone unexpectedly calls at your door, take a look out of the window. If you do not recognise them, don't open your door to them.
● Make sure both your front and back doors are locked.
● If you don't know them, ask them to leave.
● If the person refuses to go away, ring South Wales Police immediately on 101. Try to provide a description of the person or vehicle.
● Talk to your family and friends and consider talking to your neighbours.

cross-posted from my ONLamp weblog for those who didn't see it there
I prefer programming to administering systems–so much so that if there's a way for me to avoid deploying software or running backups or installing software, I'll take it. Hey, if I can avoid administering my own database, so much the better!
I also prefer re-using existing software to writing my own, mostly. If someone else has already built something I can use trivially, great!
What happens when you combine those two concepts?
My colleague Tony Stubblebine, who you may remember used to be a senior software developer here at O'Reilly, recently went to a Salesforce conference. Their AppExchange program caught his attention, and he twisted our arms into publishing a three-part series on building your own hosted applications with AppExchange.
I used to work for a dot-com that had a very similar idea back in 1998, but ours never took off. It's nice to see that the idea, at least, was worthwhile. Even if you're not in the business of writing hosted business software, the development and deployment and business models are very interesting.
