Anyone have an issue of USSD prompts taking too long to process? And is it a general Windows Phone issue or A Nokia issue? As tested from a Lumia 800.
Anyone have an issue of USSD prompts taking too long to process? And is it a general Windows Phone issue or A Nokia issue? As tested from a Lumia 800.
in general I would suppose most time of the service is spend on waiting the reply from the network service.
Hi guys,
I've just bought a marvellous lumia 800, however, I'm encountering the same issue.
@Nokia Development Team: is it possible to get a patch for WP7.5 to handle correctly USSD? as you know (already many forums are raising this issue) this is OS issue. Would you be able to correct it or make a workaround? This is a little bit shameful for nokia image as all your former devices did not have such issue. Especially, if you are targeting 'development countries' market such as china, india etc... USSD is very useful as they are mainly prepaid market... Please solve this issue asap!!!
Hi there, hrika and welcome to the discussion board!
Thank you, I personally feel really good that you have liked your new Lumia phone! =)
I am sorry for any inconvenience that you have must felt because of the USSD related issue reported.
I fully understand your point and I have now pushed your message on to the appropriate team for further processing. I hope we will have a resolution to this as soon as possible.
Me or someone else working here will keep you posted here whenever we have an update to this case.
Keep up the good work and thank you for the feedback!
Best Regards,

AAF Louisiana Members:
As you may have heard, Louisiana Department of Revenue Secretary Tim Barfield recently said that taxes on media advertising are being considered by the Jindal Administration to help offset their proposed elimination of the state's personal and corporate income tax. Barfield was quick to note that no decisions have been made yet. Kudos to AAF-Baton Rouge President Hunter Territo who was able to effectively articulate opposition to any tax on advertising in the news coverage.
At this point in time it is premature for any kind of widespread advertising industry response. However, it is not too soon to prepare to respond if the tax is proposed and it becomes necessary. Next Wednesday, representatives of the advertising and media industries will be meeting in Baton Rouge to share information and discuss strategy. Please let me know if you are interested in participating in that meeting and I can give you the specifics and put you in touch with the organizers.
I will continue to keep you informed. Do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or comments.

The illegal dumping of hazardous waste is a concern everywhere, including here in the valley.
Ohio's Environmental Protection Agency Director was in the area on Thursday and spoke with 21 News Reporter Danielle Cotterman about the steps they're taking to safeguard the shale boom.
As oil and gas drilling continues to become more prevalent in the Valley, so do the concerns associated with it.
Ohio's EPA Director, Scott Nally, says two years ago they looked at the state's rules and regulations and have been working ever since to improve on them based on the concerns of other drilling states.
"Where they started to see some of these problems, we though, 'well, let's not wait and have the problem in Ohio. Let's address it,'" says Nally.
He says between the EPA, ODNR and Heath Department, they've worked to cover all aspects of the drilling process.
One of the most prevalent is the disposal of drilling waste.
"It doesn't matter how many rules and requirements I have in place or how many law I go and seek to put in place; people tend to break the law," says Nally.
He says all the EPA can do to eliminate the illegal dumping is to be watchful and prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.
Unfortunately, in Ohio that means only a misdemeanor charge.
A familiar case has been an local issue recently.
The owner of Hardrock Excavating, Ben Lupo, is accused of instructing an employee to dump brine and oil field waste into a sewer on D&L property.
The state had to seek the help of federal prosecutors to classify the alleged crime as a felony.
"There is some state legislation to be able to give me that option to go either felony or misdemeanor," Nally says.
Legislation ultimately focused on protecting the public and the environment.

- Mixed bag on FridaysWolfmanDaveDined on 8/29/2014The lounge was so busy there wasn't much parking to be found on a Friday evening. We sat two dining rooms away from the lounge and so it was pretty quiet. Perhaps too quiet. There was no one waiting to be seated when we entered at 7pm. I also noticed that there were no very many people sitting in the two dining rooms we went through (there are three dining rooms). I suspect the lounge crowd has much to do with that--a full parking lot is a great deterrent to having walk-ins. More of a downside to our visit was the waiter: he wasn't very observant or attentive. He struck me as a new face--I recognized several servers from previous visits through the years. Overall, the food was still delicious, though. We'll still return there.Special Features:
- Always a great mealSusan1484VIPDined on 8/27/2014Loved the grilled salmon and the crab louie. Being placed away from traffic lanes always makes lunch special.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Birthday BrunchFoodreviewsDined on 8/17/2014Overall I love this place. Having said that our section was dark and very warm. I know they have to fill the place up to get all the people who want to be there seated, but we were cramped and it was hot. The lighting was horrible and there was no way to brighten it up, according to the wait staff. The wait staff was great and accommodating. I will return, I'll just have to make sure the location we are sitting in is better ventilated.Special Features:

- Diners DO notice frictionRichard619Dined on 8/9/2014We were seated by the open kitchen grill. They had a special reception that apparently overwhelmed the staff. Orders meant for some servers went to others, clearly creating some friction that we didn't need to witness. Our food was relatively late in getting to the table. Many baskets of warm bread passed us by- someone could have served it while we waited. I have to say that the food, when it arrived, was hot and tasty, but thumbs down for the ambiance on this occasion.Special Features:
- Great experiencelovchristinaDined on 8/5/2014I took my husband here for his 33rd birthday and we had a wonderful experience. Just a quiet dinner together was what we wanted. The place was not crowded or noisy which is always nice. Our waiter was extremely friendly and enthusiastic. I made sure to leave him a nice tip for making the experience so good. I also loved that they brought out a birthday treat for my husband without having to do the big song and call all attention to us. I will definitely be back!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Great Brunch valueLeenieDined on 7/20/2014We took visiting family here for brunch and we were pleasantly surprised. We had only been there for a business group meeting in the past. When looking for a place for brunch we saw the great reviews and decided to check it out. We were very glad we did. The food was amazing! There was a perfect variety of foods and desserts for everyone to have their fill. We will be going back.Special Features:
- UniquedmrjaxDined on 7/18/2014My husband and I usually go to the 94th Aero Squadron on special occasions, but we needed a date night and decided to splurge. It was so hot in the restaurant I thought I was going to pass out. Every time we go the temperature in the restaurant is warm, but Friday night was unbearable. We wanted to stay longer and have dessert, but ended up leaving asap. The waitress was sweaty and not very attentive. Usually we have a great time here, but we were disappointed and may not go back for awhile.Special Features:
- Great ambiencePennyDined on 7/16/2014We found this restaurant over 30 years ago (we think) and enjoyed its WW I French vibe. We were back in San Diego this weekend and found it again. Very enjoyable dinner with excellent, non-intrusive service. The food was quite good, too. I had the short ribs which reminded me of the good ones my grandmother used to make; my husband had the filet which was excellent. Highly recommend.Special Features:
- Great BuffetMustangAngieDined on 7/16/2014I love their lunch buffet. Very reasonable and great food. I have eaten off their menu and everything is good. Their French Onion soup is one of the best, and love the beer cheese soup.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

The food always good and the service good.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- an off nightjessDined on 6/17/2014Usually the food at 94th is delicious. This past evening we dined early, 5pm, only to find that the rarest prime rib available was cooked medium. While still tasty, it was just incredibly disappointing to go there expecting a certain quality of food and not receive it.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2013Dined on 6/15/2014Food was good - service not so much. Server wearing a very dirty, stained shirt - understandable after a late shift, however we ate at 5:30pm. This was disgusting. Had to ask more than once for few important items - high chair, wine list, and silverware. Restaurant not crowded at all, so this was confusing. Both my husband and I spent many years in service industry - therefore, we can be accepting of certain situations - however this was not one of them. Food however, was very good. Ambiance was lovely, great spot.Special Features:
- Still a favorite!!!2dinersDined on 6/15/2014We have been dining here for over 2 decades! This is the place for brunch, lunch, dinner, or happy hour on the patio, although the outdoor gazebo is our favorite spot for family dining...The food/service is consistently great!! The managers rove to check on patrons to ensure they are taken care of. The variety of menu selections and side choices make a complete meal and a wonderful dining experience. Nice touch with flowers and candle on each table!!!Special Features:
- Father's day dinnersddadDined on 6/15/2014This was a good choice for the 7 of us. The food was good, I would like to have seen some more choices other than red meat. There was only 1 chicken choice. We took my father who is almost 95 and the chair was very uncomfortable for him. The waiter was very helpful with trying to get some padding for him. I did notice that there were many older people there, maybe they could get some more comfortable chairs, or least some back support pillows to have on hand. We did all enjoy the food, and the service was great.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- FoodVegasbillDined on 6/8/2014Over all thought food as good as remembered. When it came to main entrees, I thought there was alot to be desired in food types. The beef from carving station was so tough that I could barely cut it with a knife and when trying to chew was unable. Would recommend to any of my friends but would advise to focus on others offerings than the main entree items.Special Features:
- excellent spot for small gatheringSusan1484VIPDined on 6/5/2014Met some friends here and had a very pleasant meal with teens and older folks too.

Drink driver sentenced to seven years
A 44-year-old Dorset man has been sentenced to seven years in prison for causing death by careless driving. Steven Anderson, of Forest Road, Poole, was more than two and a half times over the drink/drive limit.
The sentence followed a collision between junctions eight and nine, southbound on the M3 near Winchester on December 15 last year in which 55-year-old Andrew Greest, from Gosport, died.

Charles Dixon and his wife Joyce are still mourning their youngest
daughter Rose's death.
"You just cant let go of her," sighed her father.
The solace of the family's weekly trips to Mount Holly cemetery are often interrupted
by a sense of violation.
"When you pull up and you see something missing that goes likea piece of your heart," said Rose's mom Joyce.
The young mother of two died suddenly at age 33 from a blood clot in 2009.
The Dixons say since she's been buried in the South Jersey cemetery vandals have desecrated her grave--stealing about 600-dollars in solar lights and landscaping.
"It's bad. It breaks your heart," said Rose's father Charles.
The Dixon's showed us pictures of the seasonal themes they use to landscape Rose's grave.
But they say none of the decorations stick around for long.
"This is a whole set up they took--pulled that completely out," Joyce said pointing to a handful
of pictures.
That's when the Dixons started cementing things down.
A caretaker says they even put a camera in a tree to catch the crook--it too fell prey.
"It didn't catch no one, " said Charles Dixon. "It was put in another tree and they stole it."
Years ago the mausoleum doors were also stolen from the cemetery.
Police chief Steve Martin says like Mount Holly, other cemeteries have been targeted in the past.
But the Dixon's theft is the first reported in years.
"It's sad, disrespectful and sad," said Vicki Loveland whose father-in-law's military medallion
and other ornaments have been stolen from Mount Holly cemetery.
She and the Dixons say it's a disgrace to their loved ones trying to rest in peace.
Nancy Jones, the president of the Mount Holly Cemetery Board, says there's not much they can do.
She says a camera put up to catch the crooks was stolen. Noting that even her family's plot
was targeted.
The police chief says he plans to increase patrols in the area.

"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, food." You know what that is? It's what a man hears when a woman's talking to him. That's not the only thing of course. Sometimes there are other substitutes for the word "food". And I'm not really sure if they actually hear the blah-blah part either. It may not really register as a sound per se. It's kind of like that tree falling in the woods puzzle. If a woman is talking when a man is around, does she really make a sound?
One pressing question I have is why don't men want to hear about my PMS? They like movies with violence, blood and bathroom humor. If that doesn't sound like my period, what does? Is it that they're grossed out by it? I go to the gym and I can tell you that most men don't care one bit about wiping down the benches after they're done. Don't tell me you're squeamish if you have no issue whatsoever about sitting on another man's butt sweat. Please.
I will go see just about any type of movie. But men have a special aversion to anything they consider a "chick flick". Recently I saw Bridesmaids, which was advertised as the anti-chick chick-flick. It was hilarious and I posted my review on Facebook. The wife of one of my co-workers - who I'll call "Robert" - replied that she wanted to see it really bad, but Robert refused to go. I tried my best to convince him. It was the trifecta of male-humor: bad language, fast driving and vomit. I couldn't convince him he'd like it. I think he was mentally calculating the ratio of dialogue to action and still couldn't crunch the proper numbers.
See, it's that dialogue thing that men can't seem to get around. That and the possibility that there might be hugging and crying of some kind. The one exception to the hugging and crying rule is the sports flick. It's okay to hug after the final against-all-odds touchdown in the championship game. It's okay to cry if the against-all-odds touchdown is missed and the team loses a heartbreaker. But any hint that someone might cry because of a broken heart or that two cowboys might like camping with each other a little too much, expect to make it ladies night at the movies.
I'm not totally opposed to leaving out the human interest in certain movies and shows though. One of my favorite cable shows is about a male and female pair of U.S. Marshalls. For some reason, this year they decided to have the female lead become pregnant. I'm stumped as to why they would choose to do this, but I'm certain the actress is pregnant in real life. You know how I know? Because no makeup artist alive can do bloat that convincingly. I'm already dreading the inevitable hemorrhoid jokes. It's not the pregnancy storyline I mind so much; it's the actual baby. I'm thinking about starting a pool to see who can guess in which episode she's going to start lactating on a stakeout.
I do sympathize with men who have the unenviable position of working in an office full of women. Let's admit it ladies, we can be difficult when we're in packs. For one thing, we can never get that thermostat right. Hey, do you think men really know why we carry our purse to the bathroom?
The pack mentality is really evident when someone brings a baby into the office. Women become like a pack of wild coyotes on a carcass when this happens. I've noticed over the years that not one man in my office has any interest whatsoever in babies. I asked Mr. I-refuse-to-see-the-movie-Bridesmaids Robert about this once. He told me he had his own kids and didn't need to see any more. Well, I have my own pet, but I still like to go to the zoo and see other animals from time to time. You'd think men would love babies. They don't talk too much and they pass gas at will. That's like a total dude flick. Of course, there is that crying thing. Maybe that's it. And vomit is only funny when it's not on your shoulder.
I sometimes wonder how many men read my column. Aside from my dad that is. And he only reads it so he can collect documentation for later when he has to prove in a court of law that I'm unfit to pick his nursing home.
J.K. Rowlings, the writer of the Harry Potter books, purposely used her initials so that boys would read her books. Can you imagine? Girls will read a book without any regard to the gender of its author. But boys will almost never read a book written by a woman. Female authors hide their gender just like mothers hide mashed up peas in the meatloaf to get their kids to eat vegetables. Perhaps if my column was called something else, I could increase my readership. Let's see, how about "Musings from a Hot, Naked Babe"? Or "Musings from a Gender Neutral Person Drinking a Beer?" Or "I'm Driving Really Fast and I Just Vomited, Now I Want to Talk About It." Any one of these titles could be a description of the movie Hangover 2; a movie I also saw and commented about on Facebook. Robert couldn't wait to see that movie. I tried to warn him that there was a brief scene at the end where there were some bridesmaids and prolonged talking. He said he could handle it.

Liberty Global Inc.'s (LBTYA, LBTYB) fourth-quarter loss narrowed as the international cable operator was helped by its expansion in Europe.
Liberty Global, led by media mogul John Malone, has forged ahead lately on an aggressive global expansion plan, with a focus on Europe. The company said its best-performing operations were in Germany and Belgium in the latest quarter.
The U.S. company agreed earlier this month to buy U.K. cable-television and Internet provider Virgin Media Inc. (VMED) for $16 billion, in a deal that may create a stronger rival to market leader British Sky Broadcasting Group PLC (BSY.LN, BSYBY).
The proposed deal came less than a month after Liberty Global boosted its stake in Belgian cable company Telenet Group Holding NV (TLGHY, TNET.BT) to about 58.4% after failing to take full ownership in a tender offer it made to Telenet shareholders.
Still, the company has reported mixed revenue in recent quarters despite more customers switching to digital services or subscribing to packages that bundle services, while its bottom-line results frequently have been impacted by changes in the value of derivatives and currency.
The latest quarter included losses on derivatives of $455 million, compared with year-ago derivative gains of $43.6 million.
Foreign currency transactions resulted in gains of $281.5 million in the latest period, compared with losses of $374.7 million a year earlier.
Overall, Liberty Global reported a loss of $331.3 million, or $1.27 a share, compared with a year-earlier loss of $435 million, or $1.58 a share. Revenue rose 14% to $2.73 billion, helped by acquisitions and organic growth.
Analysts polled by Thomson Reuters projected a per-share profit of 17 cents on revenue of $2.66 billion.
Operating margin widened to 18.3% from 17%, reflecting revenue growth. Operating costs and expenses grew 12% to $2.23 billion.
Liberty Global's Class A shares rose 1.1% to $67.79 after hours Wednesday. Through the close, the stock was up 20% in the past six months.

When times are tough and money is running thin, a letter that says you won thousands of dollars is like an answered prayer. But we're warning you: sometimes what sounds too good to be true is usually is a scam in disguise.
Imagine you get a letter in the mail that says "you won $50,000" and you're one of five winners who will share the jackpot. Joann Allen was one of them, or was she?
"I genuinely believed this was for real," she said.
Joann was so desperate to believe, she was already dreaming of buying a new home and a family vehicle for her children. "I got my hopes up," she said.
But then she got a gut feeling to contact NewsChannel 11. "I mean, I wanted to know before I did anything wrong before I got myself into a lot of trouble with something I didn't know was for real," said Joann.
It is a scam we have warned you about several times. Jackpot claims that make you believe it is the real deal, except for one thing.
"There was a check in the envelope for $3,725. They told me to call my claim agent. She told me to deposit the check into my account that it would be to pay for my U.S. taxes. Then I was supposed to call them when I got the money out of my account," explained Joann.
Joann was instructed to wire two payments to two different people. One was for $2,600 and the second was for $1,125. "She said they were supposed to be the people who paid my U.S. taxes," Joann said.
If Joann would have made a withdrawal from her account for that much money, before the supposed lottery check even cleared her bank, she would have been duped out of $3,700. And the reality of that is she would have had to pay it back.
So how did Joann know not to fall for this scam? NewsChannel 11 told her to call the Lubbock Better Business Bureau. Scam specialists there helped her inspect the lottery check. They told her to call the bank listed on the check. In this case, it was Dallas National Bank. So she called and found out the person she has been talking to with this bogus lottery was not in the U.S.
"We found out the area code was for Ontario, Canada," she explained.
BBB Director Nan Campbell says consumers need to know foreign lotteries are illegal in the U.S.
"It's really disappointing. It made me cry a lot," said Joann.
And even though Joann's hopes and dreams were crushed, at least she wasn't duped out of all that money.
Joann eventually reported the lottery fraud to the Royal Canadian Police. They have a central agency called "PhoneBusters." People there take complaints on fraud and investigate cases like this. Keep in mind, any one of us can fall victim to this, but older Americans are often the targets.
If you happen to come across one of these lotto scams, report it to PhoneBusters. Their toll-free number is 1-888-495-8501 or you can e-mail them at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can visit them online at www.phonebusters.com.

Big thanks to MrKennedy for this and it's the 2012 edition which pours a dark black hue with a one finger head and lacing all around the place,the rebel yell is very strong on the nose not much else gets a look in apart from dark coffee,the mouthfeel is full bodied,lightly carbonated and sticky with tastes of dark chocolate,bourbon,the slightest hint of oak and finished like a boozy Irish coffee and overall I'm glad I cracked it tonight and just glad to be able to have tried it cheers.

2012 edition, 22oz, heavy red wax sealed bottle - is there a more annoying enclosure to open with a standard tool than this? Anyways, thanks to hoppypocket for getting this to me back across the continent.
This beer pours a solid black, with subtle basal cola highlights, and one finger of densely foamy, bubbly, and creamy cocoa brown head, which leaves splashy ocean wave lace around the glass as it genially abates.
It smells of vanilla and sweet booze-heavy bourbon barrel, semi-sweet chocolate, toasted grainy caramel malt, soused blackberries and plums, treacle, black licorice, plain dark sugar, and musty, dusty hops. The taste kicks off with a rather harsh, almost gag-inducing leather-bound bourbon booziness, the vanilla, caramel, and wood all complicit, before a relatively lulling cocoa, sugared coffee, and astringent anise essence brings things back down to semi-sane reality. The hops seem stunned into oblivion, but I do get a hint of the earthy mustiness afterburner effect.
The bubbles are quite understated, and barely competent in their quotidian duties, the body a heady medium-full weight, and smooth enough, given the swirling alcohol esters hereabouts. It finishes well off-dry, the sweet, rye grain-tinged barrel notes now somewhat integrated into the cocoa, anise, and coffee essences, to my palate and gullet's delight.
A big-ass stout, somewhat molested by an undeserving barrel, is what this all seems to be. Never having had the whiskey in question, I'm not surprised that it gets comparisons to Wild Turkey, as I have quite an adverse reaction to that spirit as well. Just too astringent and boozy overall, the attendant sweet characteristics really only making things worse by showing what might have been, underneath it all.

22oz bottle into snifter.
A: Pours a deep caramel/chocolate brown with a short-lived light than head that faded into a thick and lasting collar. Spotty lace was left down the glass.
S: Rough smelling with notes of harsh alcohol, acetone, and sweet berries and dark fruits. Definitely the roughest of the 2012's by far.
T: Yep, still harsh. Caramel with dark fruits and berries dominate next to boozy flavors of cheap whiskey. The finish is sweet and fruity with hints of raisins, chocolate, toffee, and spicy barrel. The aftertaste is boozy and sweet.
M: Full body, boozy but thick mouthfeel, normal fuzzy carbonation. Some volatile alcohol and burn.
O: Could probably use some more time in the bottle so I will have to re-explore this in a year or two. All the other 2012's are doing fine right now though. Decent but far from the best. Hopefully age will improve this.

650 mL bottle poured into an Eclipse snifter. 2012 bottle.
Appearance - Murky black with transparent edges. Not much of a head. Wispy surface.
Smell - Nice bourbon. Doesn't have the harshness that other variants have.
Taste - Nice bourbon character. Vanilla. Dark chocolate flavor. Bourbon continues throughout. Very nice barrel character.
Mouthfeel - Slick and creamier than the base beer. Medium carbonation. Sweet and barrel booze finish.
Overall - This beer gives the best barrel character. Distinct corn and bourbon flavor that never overpowers.

Bottle as part of drinking most of these.
A - Dark brown chocolate with reddish hues on the edges. Not much of a head but small mocha foam sits on top.
S - Chocolate mixed with cheap bourbon. Smells medicinal, overpowering, and harsh
T - Tastes like cheap and strong bourbon with light chocolate aspects to it. This beer tastes mostly like bourbon but unfortunately it isn't good bourbon. Each sip makes you twinge.
M - Thick body with lots of astringency from the bourbon
O - This is by far the worst eclipse I've had so far and shows how barrel aging doesn't always help a beer. There is way too much cheap and bad bourbon that made this one not too enjoyable.

It's as awesome as it sounds.
Detailed, in-depth analysis of this stunning video after the jump.
Pia Sundhage is well known as the most laid-back high level football coach in the world. She's always happy, even after her team loses, and she subscribes to a theory that she calls the "7+1 rule," where she gives only one piece of criticism for every seven compliments that she gives to her players. While all of that lack of yelling and screaming is well and good, incidents like this one show that Pia's philosophy is really based on her personality and not just some random coaching philosophy she believes in, which is pretty awesome. Also pretty awesome: Paul Simon.
When the United States takes on Japan in the final of the Women's World Cup, they might not play their best and they might not win, but playing loose and fun probably won't be a bad thing, especially since getting stressed out against a team that passes like Japan is a really good way to get your tail kicked.

Revised and directed by UnsungMusicalsCo. artistic director Ben West (At Home Abroad), the work features a book and lyrics by Allan Sherman and music by Albert Hague. Performances will continue through Jan. 26, 2013.
Joining Belcon (Avenue Q), Rayson (Legally Blonde), Walton ("One Life to Live") and Weed (Rent, Next to Normal) are Karen Hyland (Ghost The Musical), Nathan Keen (West Side Story), Antuan Raimone (In The Heights) and Morgan Rose (Shrek The Musical).
The Fig Leaves Are Falling, according to UnsongMusicalsCo., "is a swinging '60s satire of suburban life, love and infidelity. Variety show meets vaudeville in this lively entertainment following Harry Stone, his devoted wife and the sizzling secretary who turns their marriage upside down! This newly revised production refocuses the original story by employing a smaller cast of eight actors, three new musical numbers and previously discarded dialogue and lyrics. UMC held an exploratory reading of this new version of the musical in July 2011."
UnsungMusicalsCo. Inc. is a not-for-profit production company dedicated to "the preservation of musical theater through the restoration and presentation of obscure but artistically sound works.

Kuckkahn: Spencer officially the choice
Current Scottsbluff Police Captain Kevin Spencer will be the choice of Scottsbluff City Manager Rick Kuckkahn when he talks to the city council next Monday about hiring a new Police Chief. Spencer was at the top of the Scottsbluff Civil Service Commission eligibility list after testing and interviews of the two finalists were conducted last week.
Adam Creek, a Fort Smith, Arkansas Police criminal investigator, was ranked second behind Spencer. Kuckkahn said he is comfortable with the eligibility list and could not remember a time when he overrode the ranking of the civil service commission on any civil service job.
Kuckkahn says he will ask the city council May 6th to affirm his decision about hiring a Police Chief now because of the recent discussions about forming a countywide law enforcement agency.

Tyler Moore and Ty Ross had run-scoring hits with two outs in the ninth to lead LSU to a 3-2 victory over Alabama Friday in a Southeastern Conference tournament elimination game.
The Tigers (50-9) face Arkansas in the semifinals on Saturday.
They got three straight two-out hits to take the lead in the final inning. Christian Ibarra singled and pinch-runner Jared Foster scored on Moore's double. Reliever Jay Shaw replaced Mike Oczypok and gave up Ross's RBI single.
LSU's Chris Cotton then needed just 11 pitches to strike out all three batters in the bottom of the ninth for his 14th save. Nate Fury (2-1) pitched a scoreless eighth in relief of Ryan Eades for the win.
Alabama's Oczypok (4-2) allowed 10 hits in 8-2/3 innings.
Alabama had taken a 2-1 lead in the fifth when Mikey White produced an RBI triple and scored on Brett Booth's single.

The JCP: Dead, Alive, or Zombified?
On this page we'll be compiling a list of blog quotes, quotes from the comments on the Apache announcement and various other blogs, and a bunch of tweets. While these opinions may not be the majority (there's always a silent one), it's good to see what feelings are flowing out of various corners in the Java community. Be sure and post anything you find!
The Community speaks out:
Like you I'm saddly following the latest news : "ASF leaves the JCP", "JCP is dead", "Oracle is evil", "Lord Voldemort is the right arm of Larry" (this one I made it up myself).... and wondering "what can I do ?"… Why not writing an open letter to Oracle in the name of the JUGs? Why not gather our strength and say to Oracle we think we have [had] enough
—Antonio Goncalves, from JUGs Mailing List
"To all those saying that the ASF 'lost' in a standoff with Oracle regarding Java: standing up for your principles is never losing."
—Jim Jagielski, Twitter (sorry, I can't get these twitter links to work for the life of me. Just search the person's name on twitter and you'll find the proof in the pudding)
"And so, the JCP is dead... All that remains is a zombie, walking the streets of the Java ecosystem, looking for brains..."
—Jim Jagielski, The JCP is Dead
Oracle holds all the cards and can gain the system to do whatever it wants, even ignoring contractual agreements. Other EC members can fight, but they will only be allowed what Oracle lets them do. And they will have to simply sit down and take it.
—Jim Jagielski, The Trouble with the JCP EC
"Good, the JCP was an awful idea from its inception, the idea that open source has to be governed by an external 'expert committee' often sworn to secrecy ran counter to the idea of a transparent Meritocracy from the beginning. It is about time."
—Tim O'Brien, ASF Announcement Comment
"The JCP is dead, will Java continue as a proprietary technology or will the community step up?"
—Ross Gardler, Apache Member, The JCP is Dead to me, Long Live Java
"@scroisier Yes, #jcpisdead might help people realize you don't need a big org to create standards, Apache governance would do fine."
—Bertrand Delacretaz, Committer on a number of Apache projects, Twitter
"JCP may by dead, but Java is not! We make our own standards in Open Source! Spring, Lucene/Solr, Hadoop, etc. "
—Yonik Seeley, Creator of Apache Solr, Twitter
Oracle originally objected to the fields of use restrictions before they bought Java but changed their mind now they're the owner and I guess IBM was bought off. It is surprising how Oracle seems to be aiming straight at their foot, do they regard the open source community as a minor aspect of Java? Is this (long gone after Android & iPhone) mobile market worth the cost of alienating their most fervent supporters?
… What is needed, and what was clearly promised by Sun all those years ago, is an independent organization where industry and open source community can meet and standardize without any one party being special. The OSGi is such an organization. An organization that has a lot of experience with Java specifications as well.
—Peter Kriens, OSGi Alliance
Java became strong not as a barbershop quartet singing in perfect harmony, but as a massive, heaving soccer crowd baying for their team. The neutering of the JCP threatens to turn that crowd into a bunch of North Korean rent-a-fans. There will inevitably be a loss of diversity of brain-power feeding into the Java specification.
… why on Earth should Bob [Lee] spend his valuable time working on a JSR when the fruits of his labour would be taken by Oracle? … Other resignations include Tim Peierls and of course Apache. Google will probably follow shortly. They have all realised that they were giving their work and IP to improve a proprietary Oracle product.. for nothing. … The result will be a dreadful monoculture.
… JCP now stands for "Just Customers Please" … What's a poor Java developer to do? I'm not certainly giving up the platform just yet because there still aren't any better games in town. All the same, it seems wiser than ever to transfer at least a few eggs to alternative baskets. Just in case.
—Neil Bartlett, OSGi and Eclipse expert, Haskell enthusiast, The JCP… Weep for the Experts
Standards organizations come and go. Whether this particular one limps along for two more years or twenty isn't the key point. Instead of being an exemplar, the JCP is destined to become the canonical antithesis of what a standards organization should be. As standards organizations are created over the upcoming decades, people will be asking themselves how they can avoid becoming another JCP, i.e., merely a purchasable asset reported on quarterly in P&L statements.
—Sam Ruby, Pyrrhic Victory
So, is the JCP dead? Well, it will probably limp on for a while. And if the second view of what it is takes hold, then it may have some future as far as big corporates are concerned.
But it cannot now be seen as an Open Standards Body.
So its both dead and undead. A zombie. Its the end of an era. An era of hope that the JCP would be Java's ISO, producing truly Open Standards. So as that era closes we look forward to the new closed era of Java. Where its Oracle's way or the highway.
—Stephen Colebourne, Is the JCP Dead?
Another really good post that came out today was by Niclas Hedhman, which explained what the Apache resignation means for Apache projects. Here was his final statement:
The departure of Apache from the JSR scene will mean that Oracle has 2 choices, either provide good implementations of these specifications under open source licenses, or only provide paid-for ones and see the JCP die as a result, as no one will care to pay for everything that Oracle dreams up. After observing Oracle's action this year, I think the latter is the more likely choice.
So I predict; The number of JSR submissions will increase dramatically during 2011, mainly from Oracle, and as the implementations start showing up on the horizon, being paid-for versions out of Oracle's Product Machinery, people will start to loose all interest, and rely on Apache, Spring and Eclipse for their daily Java fix. If that happens, the main losers in the open source world will be those that rely heavily on "being spec compliant" instead of "great choice by developer", so Spring will gain, JBoss/Geronimo will loose, NoSQL movement will gain, EJB/JPA will loose some and you/me will loose as our choices will become more complicated.
And the "Anti-Community Award of the Year, 2010" goes toooooooo…. not unexpected, ORACLE
—Niclas Hedhman, Apache Leaves JCP EC
l had some trouble finding any blogs, comments, or tweets that were optimistic, but I really do want to hear if there's another relatively vendor-independent camp out there that doesn't see the Apache resignation as a problem. I'll be posting more tweets and blog quotes as I find them.

No test kit would ever achieve compatibility, only a single implementation can. Beside these quality concerns for sure Oracle wants to protect its investment in buying Java. A second implementation means the danger of slowly forking, as Googles Android demonstrates.
Do not see it so negative. Oracle hires people for working on Java. Remember Sun, when everything was falling apart?
I would wish that Apache (and Google) could overcome their wounded pride and join OpenJDK. We would miss them otherwise. They are important members of the JCP.
Nevertheless Oracle should work intensely on their community communication.
Felipe Talvik replied on Fri, 2010/12/10 - 8:26pm in response to: Armin Ehrenreich
"No test kit would ever achieve compatibility, only a single implementation can."
So we should throw away Hibernate, EclipseLink, OpenJPA, JBoss, Tomcat, Websphere, HornetQ... after all they're just different implementations.
Put your money, where your mouth is, and use only Oracle's implementations. Think before you talk!
"Apache (and Google) could overcome their wounded pride... They are important members of the JCP."
Wounded pride? ! ...so they can stay there and nod their heads to everything Oracle says?
John J. Franey replied on Fri, 2010/12/10 - 11:10pm
Oracle is likely to be looking to end the JCP, but in recent years, the JCP has been a failure. It's the same group of people making the same bad decisions (see JSR-299 http://jcp.org/en/jsr/detail?id=299 which is the same failed patterns that we saw with CORBA and Enterprise Java Beans). Allowing the JCP to self-destruct isn't a bad thing.
The ASF was only a member of the JCP for 8 years, and for the 4 years prior to that (the JCP was formed in 1998 and the ASF joined in 2002), the ASF did much of its best work on Java libraries.
Martin [Odersky, designer of Scala and Java Generics] has never had to be part of JCP committees to do some of the key innovations in the Java language and other JVM languages. That's not going to change.
Armin Ehrenreich replied on Sat, 2010/12/11 - 6:06am in response to: Felipe Talvik
You can not compare eg. the servlet Spec with the whole JDK spec. It is much much harder to be API compatible with Swing and the like. (By the way, did you ever try to run a complex application on a different app server?). Just see how hard it is (was) for the Apple Java implementation to be compatible. And they had only little proprietary code in their JDK. By far most code is (was) Oracles code. Impossible to come even near compatibility with a independent implementation for such a complex platform like Java. Ever tried to run applications on Harmony? You should before offending people because of ideology. Two implementations would mean to split the Java world in two camps. One that runs their apps on OpenJDK and one that runs them on Harmony. And with the next pretext (eg. dont't agree on a language extension) they would start to become formally incompatible. Because it is no Java anymore, one camp takes with it their developers and call it eg. Andro...

Dyson is teasing the announcement of 'secret project N223' on September 4th in this video posted today. From the looks of it, it appears to be an evolution of the robotic vacuum cleaner that Dyson has openly been working on for several years, most notably the prototype model DC06, which we have been discussing here at Robot Reviews since 2006!
Hello. Long time, no see. I have been busy with my life, raising our new Son, who is 6 months old. Let's say that my life has been turned upside-down, but in a great way!
TinkerBots is a new building set from Kinematics with easy-to-add robotics that makes it like "living LEGOs" and enables kids and adults to create all kinds of toy robots.
Neato announced the BotVac line of Robotic Vacuum Cleaners today. Due to be released in April, the initial launch will consist of four new models: The BotVac 70e, The BotVac 75, The BotVac 80 and the BotVac 85. The prices will range from $479 to $599.
The new Roomba 870 will clean your floors like no vacuum has ever cleaned before. Featuring the revolutionary AeroForce™ Performance Cleaning System, Roomba 870 removes up to 50% more dirt, dust, hair and debris from all floor types. The tangle-free Aeroforce™ Extractors are virtually maintenance-free, making it even easier for Roomba to tackle daily dirt build-up.
Looks like iRobot has relaunched the Evolution Mint as the new iRobot Braava. The Mint and the Mint Plus are now the Braava 320 and the Braava 380t. It's unclear if there are any actual updates other than the curiously awkward new names - but from the listed specifications it would appear that they are unchanged.
Our brand new magazine is dedicated entirely to robots, it's 100% free and it's perfect for you because it's created by you and other people just like you.http://flip.it/tOR3
iRobot announced today that it has acquired Evolution Robotics, makers of the Evolution Mint robotic floor cleaner. The Evolution Mint floor cleaner isn't known as much for it's cleaning prowess as it is for it's advanced Northstar navigation and vSLAM room mapping system.
iRobot has announced two new vacuuming robots today, the iRobot Roomba 630 and the Roomba 650. The Roomba 600 series is basically the Roomba 500 series updated for 2012 with new styling, and all of the improvements added to the 500 series robots over the years such as iAdapt, the vastly improved AeroVac bin, and the new improved brush design.
Neato has just announced the release of their newest model - the Neato XV-21 with a new bristled brush and an improved dust filter.
I came across sphero's booth at CES and was immediately drawn to the simplicity of the Sphero's design. On the outside, it looks like an ordinary white ball. But on the inside, sophisticated electronics allow you to control the ball with your smartphone, or even use the ball itself as a controller!
LG Hom-Bot is now available for sale in the US. Once more people get wind that it's available and a few reviews start showing up, I'm willing to bet that there will be more an more homes with LG robotics in them.
Justin Bieber was on hand to unveil the Tosy mRobo dancing Robot. Things didn't quite go as well as expected, but we have the entire event for you on video, which will be uploaded shortly, so stay tuned for the complete unveiling!
Just hours before iRobot officially shows off it's products today at 7:00pm PT, iRobot has teased us with the brand new Virtual Halo - a Virtual Wall that can create a protective zone around pet food and water bowls.
Want to breathe new life into your old Roomba? With the Brainlink system, that dream just might become a reality.
Aldebaran Robotics has released its latest version of the NAO robot, the NAO Next Gen, and if you want to see what your future home robot will look like, then you will definitely want to check it out.
Robots are starting to assist everywhere, including schools. What's great about this robot, is it's not expensive, and can easily be programmed with a computer. This is like the junior version of the Lego Mindstorms
iRobot Expands Popular Home Robot Line with the World's Most Compact Floor Washing Robot and the Next Generation Roomba With iAdapt Technology. Introducing the Scooba 200 series and the Roomba 700 series of robots - The Roomba 760, Roomba 770 and the Roomba 780.

The Denver Broncos defense was finally able to stop the New England Patriots defense and force a punt to get the ball back. The Broncos picked up six yards on a first down run by running back Willis McGahee to get across the 20-yard line. A few plays , quarterback Tim Tebow hit wide receiver Eddie Royal on a 10-yard pass that saw Royal spin for the first down.
SI.com: Live Broncos-Patriots box score
On the next two plays however, Tim Tebow was sacked by Patriots defenders. On the first sack, Tebow felt some pressure that wasn't really there and tried to run, but was tackled for a loss. On the very next play, defensive lineman Gerard Warren burst through the line and sacked Tebow for a 6-yard loss and then proceeded to do a Gator chomp to celebrate, for a little Gator on Gator crime. The Broncos failed to pick up the first downs on third and long and punted the ball away.

Stand-up paddlers Bill Whiddon and Thad Foote will attempt to paddle their boards across the Gulf Stream from Bimini to Miami beginning early Saturday morning.
Whiddon, 58, a creative art director, and Foote, 38, an environmental teacher, both grew up in Miami and love water sports.
The adventurous stand-up paddlers plan to shove off from the Bimini Big Game Club docks around 3:30 a.m. Saturday (weather permitting) and paddle continuously until around 5:30 p.m. — long enough, they hope, to make the 48-mile trip across the north-flowing Gulf Stream current to Miami.
For safety, a boat will follow Whiddon and Foote with food, water and a GPS.
"We are really pushing the limits of the sport," Whiddon said.
The goal of the Bimini to Miami Blue Water Challenge is to raise awareness about the Surfrider Foundation's Rise Above Plastics campaign to reduce plastics in the ocean.
"This crossing is a great opportunity to highlight the impact that plastics are having on our world's ocean and how our actions, as a society, can make such a big difference," Foote said in a statement.
The Miami chapter of the Surfrider Foundation lobbies for the enforcement of litter laws, works for beach dune restoration and promotes environmental education in grades K-8.

If you want to save some money this Halloween, consider going green by making your child's costume, hosting a costume swap or buying a "recycled" costume from a local thrift store.
Sign up for the Trenton-Grosse Ile Patch newsletter.
Kids love homemade costumes, and crafty parents can take pride in creating something amazing based on their imaginations.
Pick up costumes supplies near Trenton and Grosse Ile at Alterations and "Sew" Much More on West Road.
Hosting a costume swap is another great way to keep old costumes out of landfills. Have a party with a small group such as a preschool class, church group or scout troop.
Set up a costume swap today by contacting a local church or school.
Thrift stores offer an array of inexpensive "recycled" costumes for everyone from babies to adults, as well as a large selection of new costumes, masks, hats and Halloween makeup. You can also find used decorations such as pumpkin-shaped votive holders and Halloween-themed candles at a fraction of the price you would pay for new ones.
Decorate the outside of your home in an environmentally friendly way with pumpkins, squash and dried corn stalks, which can all be composted when the holiday is over.
TELL US: What are some examples of great homemade costumes that are easy to put together? Be sure to upload photos of your green costumes and decorations in the photo gallery above.
