Qihoo 360 Technology Co. Ltd.
China is Not the Holy Grail
By Hyuncha Cho - August 26, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, QIHU, SYMC, YHOO
I have legitimate concerns with investing into Chinese companies. Combine China and technology and it's a recipe for extreme-high-risk. Duh – you're probably thinking, but let's re-examine Qihoo 360 (NYSE: QIHU). The company just recently turned into a search engine and grew revenues tremendously. So, not so surprisingly the animal spirits come back in full force.
It's like watching everyone getting aboard the Titanic, and – we all more »
Did Baidu Suddenly Solve the Mobile Problem?
By Mark Holder - August 16, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, QIHU, YOKU
Only a month ago, Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) was struggling to stay above $90 as the company faced margin and competitive pressures from the shift toward mobile internet usage and more specifically, mobile search, that it doesn't dominate like desktop search.
The leading Chinese search provider has increased operating expenses in order to expand research and development and marketing in order to build out the mobile products and to publicize more »

Is There Any Value Left in Baidu?
By Timothy Green - August 8, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, QIHU
In April I wrote an article about Chinese search giant Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) in which I claimed that after a steep decline the stock had entered value territory and was a real bargain. At the time the stock traded for about $85 per share. Since that writing Baidu has surged to around $135 per share, up nearly 60% in just a few short months.

Running High, Stocks To Beat the S&P
By Declan Fallon - August 8, 2013 | Tickers: MDSO, PAAS, PPC, POT, QIHU
Once again, the S&P is running 10% above its average price for the year. This last happened in May and was soon followed by a 100+ point loss in the S&P. As outlined in my Investing Strategy, I consider this a time to consolidate and take profit: cut losers and restock the cash coffers either by selling positions and/or writing covered calls on profitable holdings.

The Changing Landscape of China's Search Market
By Nick Chiu - July 30, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, QIHU, SOHU
Despite its dominance in China's search market, Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) is losing market share. Yet, it is Google that suffered the most. While Sogou.com, soso.com, and Qihoo 360 (NYSE: QIHU) all gained market share since 2012, there is only one apparent winner, Qihoo 360, whose fast growth continues in 2013 as its market share jumped from 10.59% at the beginning of 2013 to 15.18% in more »

When a company grows fast, it attracts a lot of attention. Investors buy the stock, the company reports fantastic growth, and the stock gains momentum. However, at some point, analysts begin to question how long the company's growth can last. There are generally two directions a high growth business can go.
One possibility is, the company expands its business into other industries, diversifying its revenue streams. The second is more »
Baidu: Creating a Mobile and Video Powerhouse
By Mark Holder - July 22, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, QIHU, YOKU
With the transition to mobile search around the world, it probably shouldn't be too surprising that Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU) has struggled over the last year. In fact, the dominant player in Chinese search faces a bigger issue as the Chinese move quicker towards mobile. The China Internet Network Information Center reported that the total online population rose to 591 million with wireless users surging to 464 million. The percentage more »

By Dusan Jovanic - June 19, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, GOOG, QIHU
Qihoo 360 (NYSE: QIHU) demonstrated strength in its latest quarterly earnings report, beating estimates and raising guidance.

Baidu Is Betting on Mobile Search
By Nicholas Kitonyi - June 17, 2013 | Tickers: BIDU, QIHU, SINA, SOHU
Baidu's (NASDAQ: BIDU) dominance in the Chinese search business is under attack. The influx of mobile technology is not only taking down the PC industry, but also the companies that have been reliant on personal computers. Baidu is China's largest search engine, and may threaten to rival Google globally, due to the massive Asian population.

Looking at the firm's most recent earnings report, this trend seems to be continuing.

The efficiency of the staff, wifi was easy to access, the room was comfortable
Good location , quite rooms and comfy beds , perfect after a long flight , breakfast included .
Nothing with the hotel itself would have been nice to have a bar .
Convenient location. Functional.
Room was clean and comfortable.
We didn't have any time to find out what breakfast or the facilities were like.
The Room and Facilities
Ice machine was located on second floor. None on the first floor. Breakfast was poor. Very small area. Tables were wobbly. Tables were dirty
Breakfast included.
Cracked window in room.
The room was clean and comfortable. Airport shuttle was on time and convenient. We were in hotels for 2 weeks and this was the cleanest.
Our air conditioner cycled all night long every 3 minutes and it was set on low. Staff told us we should have turned up the heat control. Now why would I change the heat control when I wanted air conditioning ???? I was awake at 2 AM and could not go back to sleep because of the noise. No offer for any reimbursement was made nor even an apology.
great location, friendly staff, larger clean rooms
Internet in rooms further away from the lobby not so good.
The Hotel serves It's purpose
Terrible breakfast with no glutenfree alternatives
Good continental breakfast in a closed off dining room , rooms very quiet even though close to the airport. Shuttle was on time. Pleasant surroundings.
Reserved two queen beds, got one king.
We had to drop off a car in the suburb of Thornton, CO - we were able to walk to a Park and Ride and for $9.00 catch a bus to the Airport and then to Days INN - dropped us off right across the street. We also enjoyed a meal at the Village Inn right across the street. That was appreciated.
We arrived about 11p and proceeded to check in with desk clerk. She told us they did not have our reservation from Booking.com. I showed her the e-mail confirmation and she came up with some rooms (2) at the quouted price. Bravo for her! Hissss to Booking.com
Location, 10 mins away from airport Room was ok, rather clean pretty quiet
We were indicated to the wrong Days Inn in the airport because the driver there did not take the time to look at our ticket/receipt. We were dropped at the wrong Days Inn. The drive did not care. We had to pay a taxi to get back to the proper place. And there the receptionnist said that this was not the fault of the hotel but of the guy at the airport and the hotel Days Inn. We complained with the other Days Inn. They never called us back about it. So finally the price of the room was increased by 40$, not worth it!
Front desk people were not always easy to "find".
easy airport access good toiletries convenient computer use with printer
Great hotel for staying at close to the airport.
When we arrived the first member of staff was very helpful, and the courtesy cab driver was excellent and very helpful
On the morning we departed we found the receptionist to be very unhelpful and really didn't care
Nothing worked at the hotel. I had to change my key. The printer was out of ink so I had to go another facility to print boarding passes. the person at the front desk barely spoke English and couldn't understand when I asked a question. Was not friendly and would not recommend to anyone
Close. Very friendly and helpful staff. Loved them. Clean, comfortable enough for our purposes.
There was a dog howling in the parking lot at 3am, but that was not their fault. I called down to the desk (probably with a number of others) and it did end.
Courteous staff. Efficient shuttle. Comfortable mattress.
Tired decor. Pillows too lumpy. No TV channel guide in the room. No functioning hot tub.
Handy place to start a road trip after a long flight
Wifi was poor, business center computer didn't work, had to go to the hotel next store. Room looked very old, beds were worn out. Small flat screen tv mounted on dresser but looked Jerry rigged. When trying to sleep had to keep a/c off because it made too much noise.
Location Courtesy bus to Airport
Needed painting Wi-Fi not working

Blog Tags: Deep Sea Scavengers
Video: What Happens When a Whale Falls?
The deep sea floor can be a hard place to find a good meal, so when a 40-ton whale carcass drops from the heavens, it's a veritable harvest festival for deep sea scavengers.
The fascinating, if morbid, process is illustrated by this excellent animated video by Sweet Fern Productions, a visual complement to a recent episode of RadioLab:
Whale Fall (after life of a whale) from Sharon Shattuck on Vimeo.
So what happens when a whale falls to the seafloor?
Large animals, like sleeper sharks and hagfish are the first to the scene, and tear into the fatty tissue with delight. Depending on the size of the whale, this "mobile scavenger" phase can last up to two years.
The next to arrive are the mussels, clams, and other opportunists who ferociously devour the leftover tissue and clean the carcass down to the bone. The sulfophillic stage begins once the skeleton is all that's left and the bigger creatures have moved on. Special bacteria that can break down whale bones settle in for a 50 year banquet.
Whale falls create opportunities for critters big and small, and can act as stepping stones between ecosystems in the deep sea. An oasis for animals, mollusks, and bacteria, these whale fall sites support life in the deep sea for up to 75 years.
Pretty neat, huh?

text: "Argentinians are a famously literary people. In coffee shops, parks, on the bus and even while walking down city streets, their heads are often buried in a book. So it's only fitting that Buenos Aires can lay claim to one of the world's most incredible book stores: the Ateneo Grand Splendid… First, let's admire that name. There's no pretense of modesty in christening your theater the Grand Splendid. Built in 1919 by an Italian architect in the eclectic style, the theater entertained Buenos Aires for a decade with top-tier tango concerts, before it was converted into a popular cinema. In 2000, the building was leased by a publishing house and found new life as a bookstore. The conversion from theater to bookshop has proved nothing short of magnificent. The painted ceiling, detailed balconies, and stage are all intact. The private boxes are now small reading rooms. The stage is a café, where you can sit and peruse books you're considering buying. And though it occupies three floors, there's not an overwhelming selection — the shelves fit perfectly around the theater's original shape, and comfortable chairs are scattered throughout." w/ photos

What Exactly is 'HDRx,' RED's In-Camera High Dynamic Range Mode?
For those unfamiliar with RED camera-native files, a common first reaction to ungraded footage is "this looks really flat." Indeed, that is exactly the point: by capturing as much visual information as possible, the camera gives the colorist the most flexibility in post to push the image toward a desired look. Now, with a new mode called HDRx, RED has found a way to conjoin two adjacent exposures in order to give rise to a real-time High Dynamic Range moving image. So in terms of dynamic range, what's one of the hardest shots for a camera to expose? Quite possibly a dark interior with a bright sunny day outside. To prove the mettle of their HDRx mode, RED released the following clip:
Without a HDR mode like HDRx, you would have a choice: either you could see what's in the barn, or you could see what's outside. Not both. That's the benefit of a mode like HDRx, which can allow the next generation of RED cameras (both EPIC and SCARLET) to capture up to 18 stops of dynamic range (a good deal more than film's roughly 15 stops, and double that of a DSLR's roughly 9 stops). But because HDRx is in fact two conjoined exposures, it has a number of side effects, some bad and some good. Here, RED's Jim Jannard gushes about the motion-rendering characteristics of HDRx, describing the frame-combining mode dubbed "magic motion:"
Shooting 24fps and 180 degree shutter on film or digital is an illusion. It is not really the way we see motion. Ask someone to stand in front of you and swing their arm over their head from one side to the other. If this was shot traditionally at 24fps at 1/48th shutter all you would see is a constant motion blur until the arm stopped. But that isn't what your eyes actually see. You see both motion blur AND sharper references to the arm and hand all along the path. "Magic Motion" is much closer to what the eyes see… the combination of motion blur (A-track) and a sharper reference (X-track)… with the bonus of extraordinary dynamic range not seen in any motion capture camera.
Jannard is no stranger to hyperbole, but while everyone's busy comparing the dynamic range of the RED and ARRI ALEXA cameras, this change in motion rendering will also be something to keep an eye on. Those who've seen it in action swear by it, but despite the name it will likely be something that is not "magic" — whether or not one uses HDRx and its associated motion rendering options will likely be very shot-specific. If you're curious about HDRx and Magic Motion, check out Jannard's post at REDUSER…

Criticism is valuable as long as it is constructive, but personal attacks are grounds for deletion; you don't have to agree with us to learn something. We're all here to help each other, so thank you for adding to the conversation!

Personally, I find the actual work being done by Jim and his team to be truly outstanding. But much of it seems to be getting spoiled by the overuse of hyperbole. He's like Steve Jobs without a tangible product to back up his claims.

Nick, I think John Schwartzman, ASC would disagree with you there, seeing as he has been shooting the Spiderman reboot on Epics for over 4 weeks.
Mark L. Pederson of OffHollywood also has the first and second delivered Epics (first one got stolen so he currently only has one).
I have held and operated a working Epic.
There most definitely IS a tangible product – albeit not for sale for the moment.
First mass produced Epics start shipping THIS MONTH and everyone who has placed orders so far will have theirs by summer.
It is not magic, but old. Their competition asked me about doing this around 8 years ago, and I quickly pointed out the issues, and at that time there was little computing power and expertise to right the image. I was actually the one that suggested this to Red as a work around solution to do what a sub $100 camera's sensor could do, and how to do it properly to minimise the issues of the work around. We probably discussed this publicly 8 years ago. Half of their camera's usefulness comes from suggestions of a couple of individuals. It is great, but not magic.
Unfortunately, even some of the potential/owners on forums are not unfamiliar with expressing hyperbole against more reasonable people. It has all gone too far, all too inward looking, something that goes unnoticed when you are pushing out a baby like this. The stability is a pain in the forums, I think I'd better stop taking it so seriously and start hanging out around writers instead ;)

Here is one of those stories that has been around forever and continues to float endlessly. However, I get a chuckle every time I read it, since it is particularly germane to geezers like me;
Walking can add minutes to your life. This enables you at 85 years old to spend an additional 5 months in a nursing home at $7000 per month.

Shocked, Amazed, A little confused, slightly refreshed... and ultimately thankful.
These are all things I felt on my way to work this morning when my local talk radio station informed me that Jake Delhomme had been cut.
After nearly jerking the car off the road in initial shock, I settled into a period of "this didn't really happen, this isnt the Panther organization that I know" prompting me to believe they were making a joke. But the joke kept going, and people started calling in offering their opinions... soon enough it was abundantly clear.
Jake Delhomme is no longer a Carolina Panther.
Let that soak in for a moment...
From the moment he trotted out onto the field against Jacksonville and we all said... "who is this... Jake... Dell... Home...May... guy?" to his final start against the Jets. His name was on our lips. He was the anti-hero of our beloved franchise. The guy we all loved, but sometimes loved to hate. The hero of many comebacks, and the goat of many losses. Having Jake Delhomme at Quarterback defined us as "The Cardiac Cats." No game was ever over with Jake at Quarterback... whether up by 14 or down by 10, just a flick of #17's wrist would change the game. For better or for worse. We talked about him constantly. We talked about his flaws and his virtues. We spoke about good times, like our super bowl run, and we spoke about bad times, like the great Arizona meltdown.
But, ultimately, we all spoke about Jake.
Only one man could have a last name like Delhomme, and still every single person in the Carolinas could pronounce it. Everyone from the champagne toasting aristocracy to the backwoods hillbilly could tell you exactly how to pronounce "Delhomme." And every Sunday, whether in front of an old 20" tube set, or a mammoth 60" HDTV, they would sit down and watch Jake Delhomme and his Carolina Panthers take the field... and each would chant "Come on Jake!" or "Dammit Jake!" or "Atta' boy Jake!"
There was something in Jake Delhomme that had us all enamored. Whether you loved him or hated him, he represented hope that seemingly an average Joe could one day pick up a football and throw with the big boys. He brought that down home Cajun attitude and fire to Charlotte, but nary a bad word was ever said about "Jake Delhomme, the man." He was the Carolina's favorite son...
For better… or for worse.
So now as we look ahead to the Matt Moore era, it is only fitting to look back and send a toast to Jake Delhomme. A man who left it all out on the field, and wanted nothing more than to help the Panthers succeed. Yes... he may have lost some of that talent that made us fall in love with him in the first place, but he never lost our hearts. And while some may be relieved to see him gone, and to see another QB controversy squashed before it could get going, they too will settle down, and realize that Jake Delhomme is exactly the kind of man we want this franchise associated with.
*raises a glass*
So here's to you Jake. May you ride your horse "She Hate Me" with pride off into the sunset, and know that in the fans hearts, you'll always be one of the greatest Panthers to ever see the field.

|No taxes, no cops
|No taxes, no cops
|Written by Jose Torres
It's official, folks - public safety funding is a crisis of massive proportions. Just one example among hundreds across the country - a sheriff filed a lawsuit against his own county government in order to stop budget cuts that would have made it impossible to provide services.
Jefferson County, Tennessee Sheriff David Davenport says he took the county to court out of necessity. Sheriff Davenport, who serves as the president of the Tennessee Sheriffs' Association, settled his lawsuit against the County Commission andthe county mayor for an extra $182,000 and attorneys' fees. Davenport worries this is just the beginning. "I wish we didn't have to spend a dollar on the criminal justice system, but my forecast for the future is that we're going to have to spend a lot more," the sheriff told the Knoxville News Sentinel in a recent interview.
"It all gets back to the pie. There's not enough to go around. Usually we in law enforcement get the last slice, and then they want to carve it up so we're not even getting the meringue off the top. But if they need you in an emergency, you'd better be there." Sheriffs around East Tennessee say they're running into the same issues.
"We don't really have time to patrol because of the volume of calls throughout the county," Claiborne County Sheriff David Ray said. "It's more reactive than preventive. We're getting by with the same manpower we've had for years, but we're answering an average of about 1,300 calls per month."
That works out to four or five officers per shift patrolling about 1,700 miles of road in a county of about 30,000 people. Anderson County Sheriff Paul White recently lost a bid to put eight more deputies on the roads after county commissioners said they couldn't afford to do it without a tax increase.
The conservative refrain "no new taxes," has made funding the traditional public safety mission a monumental challenge. Rural counties invest thousands of training and equipment dollars in their officers and then promptly lose them a few years later when they leave for higher salaries with other departments, private security firms or agencies like the Department of Homeland Security. "We've got about $15,000-$18,000 in them by the time we get them certified, pay for their tuition at the state academy and get them outfitted," Campbell County Sheriff Gary Perkins told the News Sentinel's Matt Lakin.
"We've got some great people working here. But the money's not enough. They're young, and they're starting off with families. I don't blame them for leaving." Campbell County jailers start out at a salary of about $22,000, with road deputies starting around $26,300. The sheriff says that's a fraction of what some security firms such as Wackenhut pay. "I've had some that have wanted to come back, but they'd lose too much money," Perkins said.
"It's kind of disheartening." Disputes over personnel costs helped lead to Davenport's lawsuit in Jefferson County. The sheriff said he would have lost four officers under a budget that still doesn't pay deputies overtime. "I just didn't feel like I could do that in good conscience and be able to serve the community," Davenport said.
"I wouldn't even have been able to get new vehicles. And I've already got close to $200,000 in overtime owed to my officers and they have to take as comp time."

After two years at the top of University of Sioux Falls athletics, Kevin Hesser is stepping down. The athletic director, who helped the Cougars transition to Division II, is moving his family to Omaha to be closer to home.
From the Cougars transition into the NSIC to landing the NCAA Division II Track Championships in 2018, Kevin Hesser made an impact at USF.
"I feel like the athletic department is in a great place and there's a lot of great things coming for USF here," Hesser said.
Originally from Lincoln, NE, Hesser is excited to be moving his family closer to home. He'll leave behind a few projects for his replacement. Provost and VP of Academic Affairs Brett Bradfield says the search is on for someone who can help raise funds for improvements to the school's sports complex at 69th and Cliff.
"We expect to have a high quality pool of candidates for the position and to be able to take a good look at some good people," Bradfield said.
From expanded locker rooms to facilities for baseball and softball and what's needed to host an NCAA championship, there's a lot to be done. Hesser, who had a hand in getting things started, says the new AD will have plenty of help.
"We need to continue to work on engaging our alumni and developing our fan base. I think we've got the people here to do it. We've got a great coaching staff," Hesser said. "And whoever comes into this position is going to have a lot of people to lean on to move forward."
Pam Gohl has been named interim athletic director. USF isn't the only Sioux Falls school searching for an AD. Augustana has been at it for weeks, following the retirement of Bill Gross.

Why has Melbourne grown faster than Sydney?
Sydney is well known as Australia's global city and main finance centre, yet despite hosting theOlympic Games, Sydney's growth since 2000 has been much slower than Melbourne's. Melbourne has performed better in a number of key areas whilst Sydney since 2000 has remained steady. Both employment and population have grown faster in Melbourne. Sydney's population grew by 10.8% between 2001 and 2011, but Melbourne's grew by 17.6%. Sydney lost 249,000 persons by out-migration to other locations in Australia between 2001 and 2011 whereas Melbourne lost 41,000. Melbourne's share of international air passengers, expressed as a proportion of Sydney's, increased from 36.9% in 2000 to 55.1% in 2012. The average time international visitors spent in Victoria, expressed as a ratio of time spent in NSW, increased from 31.5 in 2000 to 55 in 2012.
Employment grew faster over 2001-2011 in Melbourne than Sydney in some industries like pharmaceutical manufacturing (19.4% vs -6.1%), health insurance (82.7% vs 4.0%) and superannuation funds management (56.1% vs 7.1%). Sydney still remains dominant in aviation and international tourism and so it's not surprising other cities are increasing share at its expense. Melbourne likewise continues to be dominant in containers and international students but also lost share.
Sydney increased employment in some higher order services at the expense of Melbourne, notably in newspaper publishing, TV broadcasting and advertising services. However Melbourne performed better in telecommunications, market research services, management consulting, computer systems design and recruitment services. Melbourne lost more ground in manufacturing (and this will be reinforced by the headline losses this year). Yet the great bulk of jobs in any city are much the same because they service the local population; Melbourne's key advantage over the period was its higher net population growth.
Housing costs explain the relative performance of the two cities, pointing out that an outer suburban (greenfield) house in Melbourne costs two thirds of one in Sydney. Housing construction didn't keep pace with population growth in either city but Melbourne did much better: Victoria experienced a supply deficiency of 17,600 dwellings in relation to underlying demand between June 2001 and June 2010. But NSW's deficiency over the same period was 73,700, indicating that housing construction in Sydney fell significantly short of population growth.
A 2010 study of dwelling costs by the National Housing Supply Council found it cost $561,000 to deliver a typical three bedroom house and land package on Sydney's fringe. That's considerably more than the $375,000 it cost in Melbourne. The difference is mainly down to Sydney's constrained geography and high developer charges. The cost of raw land in Sydney at the time was $152,000 per lot on average, compared to $50,000 in Melbourne. Further, developer contributions were almost $60,000 per lot lower in Melbourne.
Infill housing is more expensive in Sydney too. The Council's study found a typical two bedroom apartment within 2-10 km of the CBD cost $554,000. In Melbourne, a comparable apartment cost $490,000. There is speculation that Sydney's complex planning rules, "relatively worse transport system", and poorer investment attraction programs might also have contributed to its lesser performance over the period.
More generally, it seems that Melbourne's underlying geography is now starting to be an advantage in competition with Sydney. It's less expensive and more easily developed urban fringe reduces land costs for housing, logistics and other uses. Melbourne airport's location does not necessitate a curfew, unlike Sydney's. The European quality of the built form of Melbourne's central areas, such as its laneways and trams, has also captured the zeitgeist of Generation Y and helped make it Australia's preferred destination for aspirational young professionals. These are all significant features that will keep Melbourne very competitive with Sydney.
Although Sydney is clearly Australia's global city, Melbourne also has formidable strengths. It regularly ranks in lists of top financial centres like Richard Florida's Global Economic Power Index (although behind Sydney). It benefits enormously in terms of legacy institutions from having once been the country's national capital (1901-1927) and at one time its major commercial centre.

Key Biographies
Sebastien Lahtinen
Co-founder, thinkbroadband
Sebastien co-founded thinkbroadband (previously ADSLguide.org.uk) in 2000 as he was trying to get a broadband connection to replace his dial-up Internet access to experience a faster, more reliable internet connection at home. He discovered that the big cable operators at the time were not offering broadband services in this area, so he decided to look into ADSL. When trying to find a suitable provider, he was frustrated by the lack of information on the various ADSL services in one place, and this is where the idea behind ADSLguide.org.uk started.
As well as his responsibilities at thinkbroadband.com, Sebastien is also involved in running of an Internet hosting company, Chairman of a neutral Internet Exchange and non-executive director of a not-for-profit domain name registry. Combined with his business background, his technical understanding of the underlying technologies the Internet operates on gives him a unique insight into the problems of delivering universal broadband.
"Broadband is so critical to everyday life be it filing your tax return or checking in for your next flight. It is simply not acceptable that anyone can be left behind in the pre-broadband world"
Andrew Ferguson
Editor, thinkbroadband
Andrew joined the thinkbroadband team soon after the launch of the site having been an early broadband adopter and a keen contributor on the site's forums since the beginning.
Andrew's main responsibilities at thinkbroadband.com include writing news and commentary on a regular basis to update visitors about broadband developments and other news about specific ISPs. Andrew also works with ISP contacts to resolve various problems that visitors are experiencing with their broadband connections. The ultimate goal is to ensure that all visitors get access to the correct information along with trusted help and advice. As senior staff member, Andrew also plays an important role in the overseeing of the forums and assisting moderators. Alongside his role at thinkbroadband.com, Andrew is a senior software developer at News Software Solutions since 1997. This particular role involves writing bespoke applications for the television and radio news industry.
"It's not just rural villages in the middle of nowhere that can't get broadband. There are people living on the outskirts of population centres who are having problems."

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Well, well, well, it looks like there's a future for the physical world after all. According to a recent study, 68 percent of U.S. shoppers between the ages of 18 and 25 prefer going into a store and, you know, touching the clothes that they're going to buy, rather than just purchasing items online. This is, perhaps, one of the motivations fueling the latest "clicks to bricks" trend, or, as the BBC explains, the increasing tendency for successful online retailers to later open brick-and-mortar locations. Great news for stores everywhere! But wait…does this mean Black Friday will be even more crowded than we thought?

This product looked beautiful on my horse, however one day I was riding and the cavason simply broke. I bought the cavason a month or two earlier, and I guess I expected a little more longevity out of a product I purchased from Rods. I loved the product...until it broke. Now I am disappointed.

(Again from an incredibly biased viewer)
Florida at Miami (not horribly impressed with Florida last week)
Southeastern Louisiana at TCU (WHAT? TCU will win this, but SEL's QB is fun to watch)
Cincinnati at Illinois (Two teams trying to prove that they can rise up again.)
Oregon at Virginia
Utah State at Air Force (Utah State's QB is fun to watch)
South Carolina at Georgia (Georgia will be pissed at losing to Clemson and Clowney looked out of shape in week one.)
Sam Houston State at ATM (This game will suck hardcore. Only reason to watch is to see if Manziel gets kicked out of yet another game or perhaps can be suspended for 20 more halves of football.)
Texas at BYU (Could this be the year Mack Brown and co stop whining and start playing football again? BYU did not look great last week.)
Notre Dame at Michigan (I like Michigan in this game.)
Hawaii at Oregon State (Was last week a fluke for the Beav's defense or are they in real trouble? OSU's offense looks legit. Hawaii hung with USC for a half last week but is that telling of Hawaii or USC?)
Arkansas State at Auburn (Tigers could be in trouble here and Malzahn coached at Arky State last year.)
Washington State at USC (WSU put on a show against Auburn last week and ultimately lost due to three interceptions though they appeared to outplay Auburn most of the game. WSU has some weaknesses on special teams. USC appeared to struggle against Hawaii last week. Is this Kiffin's last year?)
I even included a game with Texas in it. I now hang my head in shame for that.

Here is a pair of Volcom Vorta Jeans. We looked up "Vorta" online. Apparently it's some obscure town in Eastern Europe. And we thought back to Tony Hawk when he was starting out on his own. Some obscure skater punk from the West Coast. He would've liked this denim from Volcom. Great design: off set back yokes, interior waistband for a great fit, and a Mel-low rise tapered leg fit all ensure comfort without sacrificing performance. So get a pair of Vorta's today. It's the obscure jean for the obscure skater.

... is an insult. There are plenty of programs in power conferences that have no business being mentioned in the same sentence as Gonzaga.
After the WV win yesterday, plenty of analysts immediately wanted to give Mark Few and the Gonzaga program credit by saying that they either don't play like a mid major or that they play like they're from a major conference.
No. Gonzaga is a top 20 program and only about 20 teams from the power conferences can say that.

Discourse Variations Between Usability Tests and Usability Reports
Journal of Usability Studies, Volume 6, Issue 3, May 2011, pp. 102 - 116
Article Contents
This descriptive case study compares the discursive differences between the language used by end-users during a think-aloud protocol to the language used by the evaluators of those sessions in their oral follow-up reports. Previous studies have shown that multiple evaluators observing the same usability session or multiple evaluators conducting expert or heuristic evaluations on a static artifact will likely detect widely varying problems and develop potentially dissimilar recommendations (Hertzum & Jacobsen, 2001; Jacobsen, Hertzum, & John, 1998; Molich, Ede, Kassgaard, & Karyukin, 2004; Molich, Jeffries, & Dumas, 2007). However, no previous study has investigated the internal consistency of the problems revealed in a user-based usability testing (UT) session as compared to the problems and recommendations described in the subsequent usability report. In other words, no study has explored whether the problems described in a usability report were, indeed, the same problems described by end-user participants in the UT session itself.
To do this, I use discourse analysis techniques and compare the language used by the end-users in the testing sessions to the language used in the evaluators' oral reports. This case study reveals what is included, misappropriated, and omitted entirely in the information's migration from usability testing session to report. By looking at the language used in these two different parts of the usability testing process, we can potentially determine how issues such as interpretation and bias can affect how usability findings are or are not reported. Language variance between the UT session and the report may indicate that more research may be needed on how evaluators, particularly novice evaluators, assess and assimilate their findings.
Site of Investigation
In order to determine the fidelity of the information revealed in usability evaluations as compared to information presented in usability reports, I observed a group of designers who overtly claimed to follow the principles of user-centered design by conducting UT early and often throughout their design process. This group consisted of approximately 18 relatively novice designers who were charged with redesigning documents for the United States Postal Service (USPS). These designers were current graphic and interaction design graduate students; however, all of the work they completed on this project was entirely extracurricular to their degree program. While they did not receive course credit for their work, they were paid for their work. Working on the project was highly desirable, and it was extremely competitive to be selected to the team. During the course of their degree program, all of the student designers would eventually take two courses on human-centered design, usability testing, and user experience, though at no time had all the student designers taken both of the courses. All of the students worked 20 hours each week for the USPS, while a project manager and an assistant project manager worked full-time on the project.
In the usability evaluations in this study, the document under review was a 40-page document aimed at helping people learn about and take advantage of the services offered by the USPS. These designers conducted what Krug (2010) calls "do-it-yourself" usability testing in that the designers conducted their own usability testing and that the evaluations were not outsourced to a separate group dedicated solely to usability evaluation. Although some may advocate to have a separate group of evaluators who are not involved in the design, the combination of usability evaluation and some other task, such as technical communication or design, is not a rarity and can improve design (Krug, 2010; Redish, 2010).
There were five rounds of formative testing, with each round testing between 6 and 15 usability participants. The sessions in this study came from the third round of usability testing in which six participants were tested. The three sessions evaluated in this discursive analysis represent the three viable sessions in which all necessary secondary consent was received. Approximately six team members developed a testing plan for each round of evaluation, though only one team member (the project manager) was on every team that developed the testing plan for each round of evaluation. The stated goal for this particular round of evaluation was to determine the degree of success in the navigation of the document.
The testing plan consisted of four major parts. First, the usability participant was asked pre-test questions related to his or her familiarity with the postal service and mailing in general. Second, the usability participant was asked to read aloud a scenario related to mailing. The participant, after a brief description of the think-aloud protocol and a short example of thinking aloud by the moderator, was asked to think aloud while he or she used the document to complete the task. In addition to thinking aloud, the participant was given a set of red and green stickers and was asked to place a green sticker next to anything in the document the participant "liked" and a red sticker next to anything the participant "disliked." Though this method was never overtly named, in practice it seemed akin to "plus-minus testing" in which "members of a target audience are asked to read a document and flag their positive and negative reading experiences" (de Jong & Schellens, 2000, p. 160).
The participants completed two major scenarios and two minor scenarios in these sessions. Upon completion of each of the scenarios, the evaluator asked the participant a series of post-task questions. Finally, at the end of all the scenarios, the evaluator asked the participant a series of pre-determined, post-test questions related to the navigation of the document as well as questions related to comments the participant made throughout the evaluation session. These sessions took about 45 minutes to one hour to complete.
Members of the design team recruited volunteer usability participants, who were usually friends, family members, or volunteers recruited from signs on campus. The usability participant's session was conducted by someone other than the person who recruited him or her to the study. The sessions took place either in the design team's studio or at the participant's residence.
Each session was conducted by two team members. One member of the pair was the moderator who would ask questions, gather the informed consent, prod for more information, and answer the participant's questions during the evaluation. The second member of the pair generally ran the video camera and took notes as to what the participant did during the session. These testers had varying degrees of experience in conducting usability tests, though none could be called "expert." Oftentimes, the team member with less experience moderated the sessions to gain experience. The team member with the most experience had about three years worth of experience, while some team members had yet to conduct a session. The evaluators of the UT sessions in this study had little to moderate experience moderating or observing usability tests. The setup of the three sessions I evaluated using discourse analysis is shown in Table 1.
I obtained approval from my institution's institutional review board (IRB) for my study, and all of the designers gave written informed consent that permitted me to record the oral reports given in the large group meetings and to include their conversations from the usability sessions in my research. The usability teams received approval from the same IRB for their evaluation studies and gave their usability participants written informed consent that permitted the teams to record the usability participant. Part of that consent indicated to the usability participant that the video collected could be used by other researchers affiliated with the institution as long as the established privacy standards stayed in place. Given that the design team and I were affiliated with the same institution, the IRB approved my use of the usability session video for this research without obtaining secondary consent from the usability session participant. However, to maintain the established privacy, the UT participants were referred to as P1, P2, and P3; the evaluators were referred to by fictitious names.
Table 1. Usability Testing Session Participants and Evaluators
In the two weeks after the evaluation, the entire design team met to discuss developments and progress made on the document. One standard portion of the meeting was oral reports on the usability sessions. These informal oral reports were led by the moderator of the session. In these meetings, each usability session was covered in 2-5 minutes, though occasionally the oral report would last longer. Immediately following the oral reports, the designers would then discuss what changes to the document were necessary in light of the findings from the testing sessions. Because these sessions were conducted by non-consistent pairs of evaluators, there was no synthesis of results across the UT sessions prior to the meeting.
Upon completion of the testing session and prior to the group meeting, each pair of evaluators was supposed to write a report highlighting the findings of the usability session. However, the extent to which these reports were actually written is unknown. In the months of observations, it appeared that a handful of the evaluators always had a written report, while the majority of the evaluators never had a written report. During a lull in one meeting in which the project manager had to step away to take a phone call, Lily, a new team member, asked Tom, one of the most experienced members of the team, if there was an example of a usability report that they could use as a template. Tom said, "You probably won't have time to write the report. I mean, if you do, great, but you're gonna be busy with lots of other things." When Lily asked who should get the findings from the usability sessions, Tom said, "All of us. You've got to make sure when you present to the group you get the most important info 'cause if you don't tell us about it, we'll never know." Over the course of the observation, there was never a request by anyone on the team to look back at the written reports; however, on many occasions, the moderators of previous usability sessions were asked point-blank by other members of the team about issues from tests weeks earlier, and the group relied on the moderator's memory of the issue.

On Tuesday, the first phase of concrete repairs on East 10th Street will move east, to between Lowell Avenue and Conklin Avenue. The Lowell Avenue and Conklin Avenue intersections will be closed to northbound and southbound traffic. Lanes will be closed for the repairs but East 10th Street traffic will be maintained in both directions at all times. However the city is saying traffic delays are to be expected and you might want to think about picking another route all together. This work is part of the entire street repair project on East 10th Street from Franklin Avenue to Interstate 229. The first phase of work is expected to be completed May 18th, with full project completion by August 3rd.
The work on 41st Street from Louise Avenue to Westport Avenue also continues. Traffic delays are happening in this area. This is concrete pavement repair work that is going on, and different lanes will continue to be closed as the work continues. Work is expected here until May.
On Tuesday, the outside eastbound lane of West 12th Street between South Sertoma Avenue and South LaMesa Drive will be closed to traffic for sidewalk installation. The lane closure will be in effect during daylight hours only until the project is completed. The sidewalk improvements are expected to be completed by May 1st. During construction, motorists are encouraged to use alternate routes.
Also on Tuesday the outside eastbound lane of West 57th Street from South Tennis Lane to South Bur Oak Place will be closed to traffic for sidewalk installation. This lane closure as well will be in effect during daylight hours only until the project is completed. The sidewalk improvements are expected to be completed by May 1st.
Starting on Wednesday, Sioux Falls Public Works will be lining the Western Interceptor Relief Trunk Sewer. Construction equipment will be set up along the curb and into the street at the southeast corner of the intersection of North Main Avenue and West Walnut Street.
Through traffic will be maintained. Access to local businesses and residential areas will also be maintained. You'll want to be careful in this area and slow down when traveling through the construction zone. Work is expected to be completed on North Main Avenue by 8:00 a.m. on Friday, April 20th. All work is to be completed by May 15th.

Even though a few thunderstorms are anticipated later today and tonight, my biggest concern is the activity expected to slide across the local area later Tuesday into Tuesday night.
A cool front around the Northern Plains will interact with this stifling heat and humidity creating a healthy line of thunderstorms. What may make these storms severe is a strong jet aloft that will positioned itself just to our north in a west to east fashion. Not only will this create larger vertical growth within the storm but the potential to rotate. I'm not to worry about any tornadoes during this period but strong winds clocked over 60 mph may rush down from the storm.
With the help from the Storm Prediction Center, there is a 30% chance that these storms could reach that level in our local area. So remember, you can always be up-to-date on this potential threat by checking out this website, our WQAD Facebook page or our very popular News 8 app. We'll keep a eye to the sky. :)

Survivors of the Bulgaria bus bombing described horrific scenes of carnage and
chaos on Wednesday.
The witnesses said the explosion began at the front
of the bus, sending fire and destruction down through the vehicle.
young woman, Gal Malka, who flew to Bulgaria on a vacation before being drafted
into the IDF, told Channel two by phone from the scene, "We got on the bus.
There were a lot of people on it... Suddenly someone got on there, and something
exploded. We heard a boom. And we actually saw body parts. We tried to
escape. The door was closed. But there was a hole in the side, through
which me and my friend escaped."
Malksa said there were bodies all around
her, and that many people were screaming. She said she bandaged a man who was
suffering heavy bleeding from his head.
After the earth-shattering blast,
"I opened my eyes and saw that everything around me was fire," Malka later told
Shimon Avraham, a Jerusalem resident, told Channel 10 news that
security forces arrived on the scene within 10 minutes of the
A man named Ben told Channel 2 that he had been sitting in the
back of the bus with his mother when it was rocked by a huge explosion. "The bus
went up in flames, people were screaming and we jumped out of the window," he
Shoshi Eiler, who boarded a bus next to the one that was attacked,
told Ynet that after the blast, "people ran in hysteria and escaped toward the
[airport] terminal.
Eiler landed at the Bulgarian resort city with her
son, and said they had just picked up luggage and boarded their bus when the
bomb went off. "As soon as we saw the bus explode, we immediately got off our
bus and we also ran toward the terminal," she said.
She later heard that
passengers on the burning bus jumped out of the windows to escape.

Improved 10g management with EMSubmitted by Donald K. Burleson on Sat, 2004-05-01 00:00
Just a few years ago, many senior Oracle DBAs detested Oracle Enterprise Manager (EM). Viewed as a crutch for beginners who could not memorize the command syntax, EM was largely ignored by the veteran DBA who preferred the ease and certainty of the SQL*Plus command-line interface. This is about to change.

Building Oracle Applications that use Bind VariablesSubmitted by Mark Rittman on Fri, 2004-04-09 21:04
If you've been developing applications on Oracle for a while, you've no doubt come across the concept of 'Bind Variables'. Bind variables are one of those Oracle concepts that experts frequently cite as being key to application performance, but it's often not all that easy to pin down exactly what they are and how you need to alter your programming style to use them. With this in mind, I've tried to pull together the key information about bind variables and why they are a 'good thing' when building Oracle applications.
