Developer fury as Google makes Android apps vanish
Android developers are furious about Google's changes to the way search works in the Android application marketplace. The changes were put into place on 1 July, and since then, a lot of previously very popular applications have now effectively disappeared. The anger on the Android forums is partly financial – one developer said …
Google Arrogance
"partly irritation at Google's arrogance: the company hasn't bothered to respond."
This is the worst thing about Google. You and I see their lack of response as arrogance; they see it as "the engineers are busy fixing the bug you reported, wouldn't you rather have them do that then respond to your email?". A post on Google Operating System explained it; reading it was a eureka moment for me!
If there's one thing I've learned from my years of working in IT, it's that users value communication very highly. If there is a problem the best thing you can do is keep them up-to-date so they know what progress is being made on the resolution.
Joke alert because Google's support is often one.
Your lack of a joke . . .
when using the "Joke Alert" icon is clearly a misrepresentation designed to deceive. It is downright dishonest, indeed dispicable and a deplorable act, not to mention a dereliction of duty. I am disgusted. I feel demeaned and devalued.
It's no joke
Allow me to demonstrate my deepest apologies which are undoubtably due.
Just another reminder that
Google knows what's best, as Google likes to remind us in all their products.
"We know what the customers really want is for us to fix issues, so we'll do that without letting them know."
What are customers expecting? Feedback on their feedback? A quick response that Google is aware of the issues? Crazy!
I'm sure at this point the "customer service reps" don't even have a real "Reply" button. Receive the issue, determine if it is an issue, hit "Reply" and the same message gets sent out automatically every time.
"Thank you for spending the time and bothering to email us. Please don't expect any further responses or update from the company, if the issue gets fixed hopefully you will just notice."
They borrowed that button...
...from Microsoft, didn't they?
So very true!
"If there's one thing I've learned from my years of working in IT, it's that users value communication very highly."
More less what my first manager drummed into me when she said, "No matter how big a cock-up you make, make sure someone knows what happened, give 'em the truth if you like that's up to you or your manager, but always, always make sure you keep telling 'em what you're doing to get it fixed. No matter how long it takes!"
Feeling D-valued?
So they have made the search worse?
I didn't think it was possible to make the search feature of the android market any worse than it already was... and this from a company with the best search engine.
Love it ..
.. thanks, I missed that rather startling irony, grin. I need more coffee, obviously :-)
Best search engine?
I think you forgot to select the "joke" icon for your post.
The Google search may have been good in the past, but now that it totally ignores some of your words in the search term, even if pre-fixed with a "+", and decides to search for something else instead: "Showing results for "PLT" show results for "PLL" instead"... I could go on but the post would be too long and I'd get depressed about how they killed other useful search engines "Altavista, etc.", and then went crap.
Perhaps not the best anymore
Yeah ok saying 'best' was probably taking things a bit far, and it does annoy at times with it's assumed defaults. I still can't think of a better search engine. I am happy to try any alternatives.
Then have a try of Duck Duck Go... Provides good, solid results with minimal faff.
In particular have a look at their privacy policy - no collection or sharing of your personal data.
Results aren't particularly well organised
I did try it, and the results just aren't very well ordered and you don't get as much of an impression as to the actual content of the site. Perhaps that is just down to me being used to the formatting of googles search results, but I can usually glance down a page of googles search results and pick out the ones that are likely to be of interest.
Try startpage.com instead
That includes Google, but without the privacy risks.
Didn't they make their fortune selling ads?
The fact they happen to do operating systems and email and search is sort of a bonus, especially as they give away most of that sort of thing for free.
let me fix that for you
didn't they make their fortune selling people the business names those people had mistakenly assumed they already owned?
there, fixed :-)
The Android Marketplace is now disorganised and chaotic? I can't say I've noticed any difference.....
Just rename your application so it is more visible in the market. Not a big deal.
sent from my soon-to-be-released miracle gDevice.
RE: Thomas
Same here, i can still find what i want and it loads faster aswell.
And just to think how Apple got flamed for the way they handle the App Store!
Of course the Android Marketplace was supposed to be everything that the App Store isn't, benefiting both developers and Andoid users.
Well, hasn't the tide taken a turn for the worst now? It was only a question of time before Google stamped their authorative bootprint onto Android apps.
It's the typical knee jerk reaction to take control and manage a growing monster. Sure the Jobsian App Store is not perfect, but then again, it seems as if the Andoid App Marketplace is losing its develpor friendly approach too... sadly...
Of course as an Android user one can choose to use another App Store if you're not happy with Google's.....
but it will still be a train wreck of spam ridden malware infested apps with no decent games available. And its search functionality will probably be worse.
Better off with an iDevice where the app store works just fine and dandy.
Ever tried searching for something in the iOS App Store? It's a pain in the arse to find anything as you cannot filter by anything relevant. Less malware for sure, but no more searchable.
iDevice store
Yeah, the iApp iStore works fine...
I search for apps, and it shows me loads. I click one read all the crap and decide I want it. I click buy. I click download; then it tells me that the app is not compatible!
I go back to the list, look at a few more, and decide to buy another one. Click buy, click download and it tells me that it's not compatible either. Rinse and repeat a few more times. After maybe an hour I eventually have a simple SSH app that I really wanted an hour ago.
Please explain how that is working fine and dandy..
Not compatible?
You do know that at the side of the apps, in the description giving version numbers, date of release, the developer and such, just underneath there is a 'Requirements' section, might be worth checking there before downloading.
Also, unless you are still using iOS 2.x on a 3G or older, you really shouldn't be having any problems. it's not like your trying to run an android app coded to work on an HTC phone, on a samsung phone.
Bullshit alert
Problem originates between keyboard and chair
If only there was somewhere on the application description where the app requirements and compatibilities were listed. That would save so much time.
Of course, that won't help you if you don't read it. It's a problem all right.
Google standard practice, ignore, evade, do what they like
Wonder if that's related to the 'surprising' filtering going on in the app review lists in the new Market app. Instead of displaying reviews in date order with minimal filtering (just spam), they're now in some unfathomable order that appears semi random with a heavy dose of burying low ratings.
It's bizarre finding 4&5 star reviews from Jan or even last year topping the lists, regardless of what current review ratings actually are. Their woefully broken Maps 5.7.x series used to feature around 40% 1 star ratings and has done for 2+months. Now you'll struggle to see more than 1 in 20 low ratings.
It's tempting to say it's deliberate but the damage is too random and too widespread. My own app fell from 1st to 5th in its small (7 result) search, despite having higher reviews and more downloads than all the rest combined. My guess is someone made a catastrophic error in the ratings algorithm and the single 1* review last week matters more than anything else.
I don't buy the 'let the engineers get on with fixing it'. There's a long standing problem with G both not responding and eventually it becoming clear they aren't actually working on a fix. Trying to get bad map locations on Maps fixed is a complete waste of time in my experience, Android bugs go unfixed for years and feedback never, ever happens till someone with a big enough PR stick intervenes.
Possibly logical
I see a case for grouping together positive and negative reviews of an app. What's good about it, and what may not be.
On the other hand, the apps that I have experience of frequently get free updates to newer versions. So older reviews may be talking about bad features that have been improved, or about good features that were broken or removed in a new edition.
Any other order . . .
The most valid way to display reviews or comments is chronological. Yes you might see a bunch of bogus reviews together that way, but common sense should help weed those out.
The new markets way of putting selected reviews in no particular order is worse than useless, it is counter productive. This needs to be fixed.
[smug mode engaged]
at least with the iOS appstore, we knew Apple would have the tight control of it, and so you're not overly surprised when they do things without telling people.
but with Android, people have been under the delusion that Google are their best friends, and as such, comes as quite a shock when they act like any other large corporation
Ahem. Pot, meet Kettle ...
"but with Android, people have been under the delusion that Google are their best friends"
You mean ...
Just like what happens when people find out Apple isn't their best pal either?
Try reading instead of being smug
If you read the post you so smugly replied to, you'd have noticed it said at the get-go, "you know you're going to get shafted by Apple, there are no illusions of control".
get a life people
this article doesn't say what the problem is, what kind of apps are not being listed when searched by name( scam apps maybe? ) or anything other than some app developers don't like the changes. Yet post after post is about big brother google. WTF, are there that many chicken little followers out there?
apple win?
and so as the android world thrashes around...... Apple's closed and controlled world appeals more and more to normal people (who just want it to work to and don't worry about being restrained)
normal people
Yes, my completely non-technical old mum who can't work computers, for example. She was going to get an Android phone, but after reading about the Market search issues on the Google support forums, she's now getting an iphone. Fuck sake...
apple win???
Yeah because developers never complain about the Apple app store do they? In fact I would struggle to find one single complaint about Apple's secret inclusion policy, no in app purchases from developer's sites, change of terms and conditions that remove their app from the app store, puritanical restrictions on content.\, restrictions on programming language you can use...etc. In fact to test I just did a search on Apple's corporate support system - nope not one. Must be that developer just can't find anything to complain about Apple. Long live the king!
This is developer complaints not "normal people".
Let me get this straight
"Yes, my completely non-technical old mum who can't work computers, for example. She was going to get an Android phone, but after reading about the Market search issues on the Google support forums, she's now getting an iphone"
So your completely non-technical mother now develops iPhone apps? Because if she wasn't a developer, why would she be that concerned about this?
Would explain a lot of the sub-par iPhone ports I've been seeing in the Android Market recently ;-)
RE: Let me get this straight
Wow, just wow!
(Where's the "flying over your head" icon?)
RE: Let me get this straight
Gah! I'd hoped it would be obvious that I was taking the piss out of Little Me's post.
My sarcasm detector malfunctioned somewhat just there...
"Searching by developer name, which a consumer is not likely to do"
Actually I search by developer name on the Market quite often. If I like an app then I often click the "View more applications" link in the Developer Info section of the app's Market entry. That does a search by developer name.
Talk to the claw...
Google's usual response is: http://www.catsalley.com/c/talk_to_the_claw--144921050670578758-product-210.jpg
Die Tatze. Die Kralle.
It's not a claw, it's a paw. he claw is part of a paw.
Its funny
Its funny how the largest search engine company does searching so poorly in its own app market.
Feeling it.
I'm feeling the developer community's pain here, even though I'm just a regular end-user pleb.
Google's lacking support infrastructure is perhaps THE biggest issue that counts against them in my book. With Google, so much is free (in exchange for the opportunity to sell everything down to your DNA blueprints for advertising opportunities, granted!), but they use this freeness as an unacknowledged get-out clause for leaving users totally without decent support.
So this story is sadly classic Google. They randomly change something (usually with their infuriating involuntary "opted-you-in" ethic) and lo, they break something horribly. You try to get help using their horribly emaciated help forums, only to find your problem left utterly ignored despite having a good number of other users posting in agreement. And even if you are lucky enough to snag a Google Employee response, it is usually exactly as outlined in the article: "ok, we'll look into it" and then a month later, "engineers still working on it lol, k thx bye!"
And this isn't me being a miserablist-by-proxy: I'm presently one of the thousands who's stock Android calendar app lost all its appointments and cannot keep them even when they randomly come back. It's still unfixed even in its third month. Utterly gobsmacking. Don't get me wrong, I prefer Android far and away over the Third iReich, but it is BECAUSE of my love for and dependence on Google's services that I feel so let down and abandoned when things go wrong.
You know, I'd gladly pay £20 a month for some kind of premium Google service where all the products & services I depend on get dedicated, timely and dependable support, just as iDevice owners can call up and expect a good result. Apple's brand image paranoia is good at least for that - it ensures Apply take ownership of their products. As a devout Google user, though, I live day-to-day praying something else won't horrifically fuck up.
Anyone else feel like this?
Colour me unsurprised.
What a great big honking surprise.
Just look at the ho-ha over trying to get colours into the google calender application.
Ye gods, you'd think they were being asked to pull their own teeth with rusty pliars (hmm....) from the practically zero level responses to the custoemrs (scuse me, guinea pigs) out there.
Now, I WAS thinking of getting an adroid phone to replace my winmob one, but after all the fiascos with I-whatever and g-whatever, I'm saying stuff that, and sticking with what I know works, and the hell with trendiness and whatnot.
We learn fandroids are more rabid than fanbois...
This should come as no surprise to anyone who has worked with google before. Ever used adwords? Or adsense, etc? You will know you at the mercy of Google. People have slated Apple for this, and praised Googles "open" approach to their marketplace. No doubt I will get the fandroids voting me down for daring to abise their love.
Please do not suggest using another marketplace, unless you are in the US and can use Amazon, nothing comes close for traffic and sales to Googles own app store. You too can now do the merry dance of spiralling death with googles algorithms. Apparently this is hittiiing all sorts of apps, not just spam.
In google we trust
It must be Apple's fault!!!

30 years of Macs: Up close and personal
Summary: Macs have been more then just a technology, they've been part of our lives for 30 years now. Here's a brief, personal history of Macs as I, and many of my fellow ZDNet and technology writers, have seen it for more than a generation.
13 of 15Image
iMac G3: 1998
The Macs of the late 90s weren't just for graphic designers and power users. The iconic , colorful tear-drop iMacs made Macs cool again.
Mac mini: 2006
Cool and powerful wasn't enough though by the mid-2000s, so Jobs introduced the first truly low-end Macs: the Mac mini. Still sold today, I've used Mac minis ever since day one as an affordable way to test Mac software and to serve as great little media servers.
MacBook Pro
There have long been Mac laptops, but they really took off with the MacBook Pro. Some people, like my writer buddy, Andy Patrizio, just started with Macs in 2014. "My first Mac is 3 weeks old. Bought it because I want to see if I still have a knack for programming like I did, oh, 30 years ago. Going to try my hand at iOS development. Plus I wanted something sexier than low-end laptops."
Others, like my freelance writer friend, Ron Miller, adopted the MacBook Pro when it first appeared. "I was a PC user until 2007 when my friend convinced me to try my first MacBook Pro. I bought the 17-inch and it's still in operation. My wife started using it when I bought my current 15 in MBP a few years ago. One of the reasons I was willing to try it was the switch to Intel, which meant I could run Windows and OSX at the same time. This was important because I was still doing technical writing then and I needed to run Frame, RoboHelp and other tools that were Windows-based. I will add, I had been using computers for 20 years when I tried my first Mac and I was just immediately captured by how well it worked. It's not flawless, but for the most part I don't have to think about my computer or my OS and that was never the case when I was a Windows user," said Miller.

Oklahoma woman likes being down on the farm
STILLWATER, Okla. (AP)--Sylvia DeWitt hummed to herself as she bounced along a pasture in an old Suburban, keeping an eye at the moving figures in the distance on her ranch located several miles off S.H. 108 outside Glencoe.
She was on a mission to check on one of her heifers that was about to have a calf. Six of them were getting close, but when DeWitt found that particular cow, she had not had her calf yet.
DeWitt greeted two of her older animals, Paula and Annie, as she drove past them. She used to name every cow. With 85 currently on the farm there are too many to keep track of, but DeWitt still calls to them with affection.
"I get attached to my girls," DeWitt said.
Sometimes when she rides out on a four-wheeler, they come up and lick or nudge her with their noses. Little bull calves try to push the vehicle because it's their size.
On the way back, she stopped to survey her quiet surroundings under the shade of a large tree in front of her ranch home where she knows everyone who drives up and down the dirt road. The silence is interrupted only by a chorus of birds, the sound of cattle in the backyard and the clank of a wooden wind chime that hangs above a swing on the front porch of the house.
Usually DeWitt feeds the animals in the afternoon, but instead she spent this day chasing 17 steers who didn't want to stay put.
"You'd just better plan not to plan on your day," she said.
As a child, DeWitt lived on small farms and wanted to be a veterinarian. She married David DeWitt a few months after graduating from high school. The next year, in 1979, they moved onto his family's 600-acre farm, which has been in the family for more than 100 years.
Today, they raise a variety of cattle and farm feed, as well as dogs, two "ancient" horses, goats and a donkey. They also operate a business, DeWitt Trucking and Excavation, which has evolved over the years since they started with just a gravel truck in 1980.
DeWitt is in charge of buying and breeding the animals. She tries to pick bulls and cows that will make mellow calves, ones that she will be proud to send to the market.
Watching them grow and give birth gives her a sense of renewed hope.
"You can see what you've accomplished," she said. "It's gratifying to watch."
Her days are filled with an assortment of activities, like checking the animals, watching her grandson Gunnar, visiting her mom and David's mom in Cushing or tending to business duties.
She and her husband are constantly looking ahead and thinking about the next year's crop.
"You have to stay educated," she said. "You can't say this is what worked before because things change."
She worries about the future of farming and crop production in the United States because she doesn't know anyone who can afford to make a living doing just that anymore.
"People are farming and ranching now mainly for lifestyle," DeWitt said. "It doesn't even make its payments."
Ranchers also depend on the whims of Mother Nature. One dry or rainy season can destroy them. Two years ago, on her husband's 51st birthday, a down-burst wind destroyed the barn his grandfather had built, just after the family had finished rebuilding it from a tornado that razed it.
But even as DeWitt waits anxiously for rain to fill the pond they dug in the pasture and worries about letting down her girls if the crops fail, she wouldn't have any other lifestyle.

April 17, 2013
Chelsea Stearns says she could barely look at herself in the mirror, after being sexually assaulted by an acquaintance.
"I felt disgusting and taken advantage of," Stearns said in the days after she was attacked. "I felt like it was all my fault and there was nothing in this world I could do to change it."
Stearns remembered a presentation she sat through in high school, by the Sexual Assault Resource Agency (SARA). "I knew what they were about. I remembered the plays and the presentations from school." A month later, Stearns sought out help from SARA and says the decision changed her life.
"I realized I wasn't disgusting and I was a human being and I realized I had feelings and I had rights and I had the right to say no."
The outreach and education efforts by SARA are a large part of the organization's mission. SARA holds workshops for students and school administrators in schools across central Virginia. The outreach focuses on sexual assault and prevention.
SARA's adolescent educator says the three-year program is designed to be self-sustaining in school districts. "Our main goal is for them to leave knowing what consent and non consent are, as well as having some sense of responsibility to step in if they know of some incident that's happening," said Laurie Jean.
At Western Albemarle High School, Frank Lawson had Jean talk to his class of ninth grade boys. Lawson says these types of discussion are important for students. "How a couple communicates with each other is a difficult process. Especially at 14 and 15. It may get easier as we get older, but the message still has to be made about how to be safe, how to respect, and how to care for somebody else."
That message being spread by SARA's outreach efforts, is in danger of disappearing, due to funding cuts. With a staff of 12, plus two dozen volunteers and a budget near $500,000, SARA depends largely on state and federal grants. But the funding for the organization's prevention and education program relies heavily on local support. SARA's executive director says one local foundation decision to cut it's funding to SARA, means the outreach program will be operating with about half of it's funds.
"Unfortunately, if we are not able to recover that funding from somewhere else, it may mean that we can not do as many prevention services as we have been doing," said Becky Waybright.
Waybright says the cuts couldn't come at a worse time. Statistics show that one in four women and one in eight males will be sexually assaulted in their lifetimes.
"The number of sexual assaults are so high and the numbers of sexual abuse in children are so incredibly high and we need to have services there for people who have been affected but we also need to try to change things so it doesn't happen quite as much and so that we can potentially have intervention happen before a situation gets to an assault."

A little about me...
I was a legal assistant for many years and have finally, and happily retired from the working world. I guess Id be an "A" personality - love to be on the go, love to walk, dance, and belong to an aerobics class 4 times a week. My Mom has a summer home on the Cape and I love to be there on weekends. Just getting up at 5:00 a.m. and walking along the beach as the sun comes up is one of my favorite pastimes. Love the history in Boston - have walked the Freedom Train countless times and always find something new with each walk. Would love to meander the entire country and visit my history city by city.
About the one I'm looking for...
Just looking for my other half, I guess. Someone who likes some of the same things I do. Someone affectionate, but likes their own space. A very good sense of humor is important - we must laugh at the absurdities of life in order to just get through it!! Can't say if I'm looking for a long or short term relationship - its something that comes naturally.
I'd just like to add...
In the middle of Grishams latest book ( Sycamore Row) and like all his other books, am totally immersed in it - last good movie I saw was "The Next Three Days" - and my music is purely ecclectic - Billy Joel, some Country, 50s and 60s rock and roll. Slow dancing with my favorite guy, and rocking with, well, whoever likes to rock. I love tearjerker movies (3 handkerchief kinds), sitting next to my guy watching a Red Sox game, dogs and horses - not allowed dogs where I live, but have a few "adopted" dogs of friends. I love my children and grandchildren and love to spend time with all of them. Im always so amazed to learn that my children turned out to be responsible, hard-working, loving adults who have raised wonderful children. (I guess part of that is attributed to me!!)

Products Affected
The operating systems of most Cisco products that support Daylight Saving Time (DST) have built in mechanisms to automatically change the times, based on current user-selected rules. Once the new DST is implemented, the time on devices that maintain time zone information will continue to change according to the old method, unless changes are made.
On April 30, 2007, the Minister of Internal Affairs issued a statement regarding a change in Daylight Saving Time policy for New Zealand. The change in policy has modified the start and end dates for Daylight Saving Time (DST). Beginning in 2007 and beyond, Daylight Saving Time in New Zealand will start on the last Sunday of September at 2:00 A.M. local time and end on the first Sunday of April at 3:00 A.M. local time.
Specifically for 2007-2008, Daylight Saving Time will begin at 2:00 A.M. local time on September 30, 2007, and end at 3:00 A.M. local time on April 6, 2008.
For more information, see the statement issued by the Minister of Internal Affairs: Daylight saving to be extended.
The previous Daylight Saving Time policy dictated that DST started on the first Sunday in October and ended on the third Sunday in March.
On April 30, 2007, Hon Rick Barker, Minister of Internal Affairs, announced a three week extension to the period of daylight saving. Daylight saving now runs from the last Sunday in September until the first Sunday in April.

Reference & Collection Development
Last week there were some changes announced to the NOVELny database line up:
- 'Gale's Health Reference Center Academic' replaces 'Gale Health and Wellness Resource Center'
- 'Gale's General OneFile' and 'Gale's Academic OneFile' replace 'ProQuest Platinum'

Update Your Bookmark Displays: As a result of this change the Health Information bookmark supplied to your library by MHLS since 2007 is now out of date. We are in the process of updating this bookmark based on the new offering through NOVELny but for now you should remove those bookmarks from your displays and use them for scrap paper! While you are at it cull out other out-of-date bookmarks - for example, if you still have the neon pink or neon green bookmarks for Request-a-Title or Check Your Record toss 'em! Order the most recent bookmark (a combined 2-sided bookmark) through the MHLS Online Material Request form: http://midhudson.org/forms/material_request.htm
Check the "freshness" date: We date the bookmarks on the lower right side just above the bottom border, here's are the ones to keep:

Administration & Management
The Recruiting & Managing Your Volunteers Effectively workshop, presented by Peggy Wadsworth from the Chester County Library System in Exton, PA was held last month. The resources were shared were fantastic, including a shelving test, a stellar volunteer handbook and sample volunteer position descriptions - all of this has been added to the MHLS Volunteer Management Resources page at http://midhudson.org/funding/fundraising/volunteers.htm
Here are a few more tips shared at the workshop:
- Volunteer position descriptions are critical, it facilitates finding the right person and helps the right person find you.
- Peggy reiterated this several times and made the group repeat after her!: "It is easier to manage a vacancy than the wrong person."
- Check that your volunteers are covered through the library's liability insurance.
- Because it takes staff time to manage volunteers Peggy recommended putting a cap on the number of volunteers your library can manage to avoid stretching staff too thin.

You have a knack for picture walls! I've collected some nice art pieces but have to admit am slightly intimidated when it comes to arranging them so harmoniously.

Where do you find a professional hanger ? I think i need one ! My husband is terrible with a hammer and has no idea of things hanging straight !

- Blue said...
I'm doing precisely the same thing with my collection of photos and drawings but in black white and grey. I love the color in yours. The advice about how to lay it out first is spot on - exactly how I did mine - but I used velcro not nails so I can reposition easily. 3M makes a velcro/glue repositionable product that is brilliant.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) - A federal judge has agreed to postpone a sentencing hearing for a woman who pleaded guilty to submitting a fraudulent claim for money from BP's oil spill compensation fund.
Rokeisha Barrios was scheduled to be sentenced Wednesday, but U.S. District Judge Sarah Vance agreed to delay the hearing until July 25. Barrios' attorney is out of the state until June 24.
Her husband, former New Orleans police officer Robert Barrios, pleaded guilty in 2010 in an unrelated case to helping cover up deadly shootings on a bridge after Hurricane Katrina.
Prosecutors say Rokeisha Barrios received separate payments of $22,600 and $11,307 from the Gulf Coast Claims Facility after falsely claiming her husband lost income as a fisherman and hotel employee following the Gulf oil spill in 2010.

The RFU Championship season reaches the knock-out stages this weekend with Bedford Blues entertaining Nottingham (Saturday, May 4, KO 3pm) and Leeds Carnegie at home to Newcastle Falcons (Monday, May 6, KO 3.15pm) in the first instalment of the two-legged semi-finals.
Bedford finished the regular season just three points behind Nottingham in the league standings with victories for the home side in each of the two fixtures between the sides.
Ben Ransom's converted try deep into stoppage time earned Bedford a 27-25 win at Goldington Road back in September, while the return fixture, televised live by Sky Sports, deservedly went the way of the Green & Whites by 25 points to 17.
Nottingham have not beaten Bedford at Goldington Road since a 27-26 success there on December 29, 2007.
History suggests table-topping Newcastle should get the better of Leeds Carnegie in the battle of two former Premiership sides. Carnegie have only won once in 11 attempts at home to Newcastle: a 16-15 victory in March 2008.
Their most recent setback came at Cross Green, Otley, with Headingley out of action. But since returning to their usual home ground at the end of March, Leeds have beaten Rotherham and Nottingham as part of an impressive six-match winning run.
The Falcons, meanwhile, fell at the final hurdle in their attempt to go through the regular season unbeaten when Bristol pulled off a shock 19-15 victory at Kingston Park a fortnight ago. But Dean Richards' men bounced back a week later with a hard-fought 18-15 win away to Bedford in the British & Irish Cup semi-final.
Both legs of the Leeds v Newcastle semi-final will be televised live by Sky Sports, while Nottingham and Bedford's semi-final legs will be streamed live via @RFUChampionship.
RFU Championship semi-finals
Bedford Blues v Nottingham Rugby, Saturday, May 4, KO 3pm. LIVE on @RFUChampionship from 2.45pm #rfuchamplive
Leeds Carnegie v Newcastle Falcons, Monday, May 6, KO 3.15pm, LIVE on Sky Sports HD

Richard Russell Riordan, Jr., more commonly known as Rick Riordan, (born June 5, 1964, age 50) is a highly-acclaimed American author from San Antonio, Texas. He currently lives in Boston, Massachusetts.
Riordan is famous for his Percy Jackson and the Olympians series. He also wrote the Tres Navarre mystery series intended for adults and helped edit Demigods and Monsters, a collection of essays on the topic of his Percy Jackson series. In addition, he published Maze of Bones for Scholastic, which is the first book in the 39 Clues series of books.
He graduated from University of Texas at Austin, where he double-majored in English and history. For fifteen years he taught in public and private schools in California and in San Antonio, Texas. He used to be a teacher, where he got names for his famous Percy Jackson and the Olympians series like 'Jackson' (Percy's last name), Nancy Bobofit and even Luke Castellan.
Riordan is the multi-award winning author of the Tres Navarre mystery series for adults and the #1 New York Times best-selling Percy Jackson and the Olympians series for children. The novels draw on Riordan's experience teaching Greek mythology and his interaction with students who have learning difficulties. Riordan currently lives in Boston with his wife and their two sons.
A new series, The Kane Chronicles was released in May of 2010, involving the Egyptian gods, but he hints that it relates to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series (it is hinted in the book as well). He also wrote a second follow-up to the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, The Heroes of Olympus series. The first book, The Lost Hero, was released in October of 2010. The second book, The Son of Neptune, was released in October of 2011. The third book, The Mark of Athena, was released in October of 2012. The fourth book, The House of Hades, was released on October 8th, 2013. The fifth and final book, The Blood of Olympus, will be released on October 7th, 2014.
Riordan also wrote a series of interactive stories in the app Demigods of Olympus.
Riordan released a crossover short story called "The Son of Sobek", to which he has sequels planned in mind. He also pointed out that he is going to write a book on Greek mythology called Percy Jackson's Greek Gods that will come out next year on Percy's birthday week August 19th, 2014. However, it doesn't have anything to do with the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series or The Heroes of Olympus series. Also there is a new short story called "The Singer of Apollo", which was released in September of 2013.
Rick also has stated that a new series based on old Norse mythology is being developed and that it will be published in 2015. In an interview with the Boston Globe, he announced that these books will take place in Boston, Massachusetts.
Arctic Blue has been a member of Camp Half-Blood Wiki since October 9, 2013, and has 76 edits. Congrats to Arctic Blue from everyone at Camp Half-Blood Wiki!
- 11th Percy Jackson's Greek Heroes is announced, along with the third crossover The Crown of Ptolemy.

2011-12 Final grades: Morgan Grim
37 games, 37 starts
27.9 minutes
9.1 points
6.1 rebounds
1.1 assists
N/A - 3pt
Grading Morgan Grim on this season is a tough one. There was a lot of very exciting highs mixed in with some frustrating lows, with some reports of nagging injuries complicating the whole thing. All said and done though, Grim had a very solid season. He was one of only a few guys with experience in the system returning this past season, however his minutes throughout his entire college career had been sparse at best.
Still, Grim stepped up to the challenge of taking a role much larger than anything else he'd yet faced, and for the most part, he excelled.
Positives: From the very start of the first game of the year, Grim stepped down into the paint and gave a couple good, solid pushes against BYU's Noah Hartsock, as if to say, "Listen asshole. This is MY paint, and you will play by my rules down here." While Hartsock still got his from outside, Grim's mentality down low held true for much of the season. His post moves never looked fancy, but seemed to keep getting the job done. Even when you might get frustrated watching his play at times, the box score at the end of the game would almost always tell a very favorable story. On top of all that, he was absolutely stellar in positioning himself to take charges, reaffirming his claim to the paint that started from day one.
Negatives: As was the case with almost everyone on this team, inconsistency got to Grim at times too. While he never had any outlandishly bad games, there were some where he looked very hesitant offensively, which was bad news for a guy who was still the team's most consistent low-post scoring threat. Foul trouble was also a recurring theme for Grim throughout the season, as was the case with all of USU's big men this past year.
Summary: It's tough to hold too much against Grim based on being thrust into a major role for the first time and losing his would-be partner in crime down low when Brady Jardine got hurt. Prior to the season, people felt like if Grim was replacing Nate Bendall as the starting center that the team would be in bad shape. Comparing the seniors year's of the two players on the stat sheet, Bendall's numbers aren't even close to Grim's. All things considered, Grim's numbers by season's end had to have been better than the vast majority of people would have predicted for him.
Final grade: B

Tanning - is it good or is it bad for your health?
That's the question health professionals and users of tanning salons are pondering.
But for 15-year old Sabrina Mathews, she says it's beneficial to her health.
"I've had people tell me before, ' You're so tanned.' I tell them I go tanning. Then they say, 'You know that's bad for you?' I say no it's not really, it helps me and it helps clear away acne and it makes my skin feel better," said Sabrina Mathews of Staunton.
Mathews goes tanning about once a week to help with her eczema.
"When I go tanning it heals it up, almost completely," said Mathews.
Mathews was diagnosed with eczema as a child.
She went to her doctor and was prescribed creams that she says didn't work.
She says her doctor noticed a positive difference in her skin after she had gone tanning.
Dawn Chaplin, of Staunton, wasn't so lucky.
"I started working in the salon where I got to tan for free. So I tanned every day. Seven days a week."
Chaplin went tanning for about nine years.
But that love of tannning, led to cancer.
What's even worse?
She was three months pregnant when she got the news.
"To have a newborn baby and to find out that you had cancer spread to your vital organs was traumatizing. I didn't know if I was going to live long enough to see my kids grow up. I just didn't know what else to do. I just put my faith and trust in the doctors at UVA and God bless them, they cured me," said Chaplin, a cancer survivor.
Chaplin says as her children get older, she hopes her story of survival steers them away from tanning salons.
"You may enjoy tanning now but you don't know what the consequences will be later in life," said Chaplin.
As for Mathews, she says she's found a way to heal.
"The tanning really helps me," Mathews said.
According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, photo or light therapy to help treat eczema is recommended.
Experts say be careful of those UV rays, because they are dangerous, and overexposure can cause cancer.

Baboons are curious creatures. And, thanks to their opposable thumbs, they are rather excellent at satiating that curiosity, no matter what impediments stand in their way. Apparently, that includes door handles.
Hyundai decided there was no better way to test the durability of its i30 hatchback (that's the Elantra GT here in the States) than to send it into Knowsley Safari Park, near Liverpool in the UK. Specifically, into the Baboon habitat.
As you'll see in the video after the break, the primates do their very best to rip the little hatchback to shreds, biting every surface, jumping up and down and from door to door and generally mucking about. How does the Hyundai cope with this kind of abuse? Scroll down below to find out yourself.


text: On May 18, 2010, approximately 0900 central daylight time, N6911Z, a Piper PA-32R-301T single-engine airplane, sustained substantial damage when it collided with a fence during a loss of engine power on take off from Alpine-Casparis Municipal Airport (E38), Alpine, Texas. The private pilot and the passenger were not injured. The airplane was registered to and operated by the pilot. No flight plan was filed for the flight that was destined for Fort Stockton, Texas. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed for the personal flight conducted under Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations Part 91.In a written statement, the pilot said that on the morning of the accident he started his airplane and taxied to the fuel pump, then shut down the engine, and topped off both wing tanks with 100LL aviation gasoline. He then re-started the engine and taxied to Runway 19 and performed an engine run-up. The pilot added that he normally advances the throttle, prop control, and mixture from left to right and will monitor the EGT to make sure the temperature stays in the high 1300 degree to low 1400 degree range during the take off roll. However, on this take off roll, he noted the EGT was reading 1450 degrees, so he increased mixture to lower the temperature. The pilot said, the roll out "seemed as I expected since there was no winds and the runway gradient was uphill." The pilot said he rotated around the mid-point of the 6,003-foot-long runway and began to climb but, the "engine seemed to be slowing." He checked the position of the throttle, the prop control, and the mixture, and noted that the EGT was 1440 degrees. The pilot became concerned about the EGT rating and that the engine "seemed to be spooling down" so he attempted to land the airplane. With the gear still extended, the airplane landed on the end of the runway, then went off the runway and collided with a woven deer fence before it came to a stop.A review of photographs taken by the Texas Department of Public Safety revealed that the landing gear had collapsed, the right wing was displaced upwards and a portion of the leading edge was torn away from the wing.The engine was examined on June 21, 2010, under the supervision of the Investigator-in-Charge and representatives from Lycoming engines and Piper Aircraft Incorporated. The engine was manually rotated via the propeller and compression and valve train continuity was established on each cylinder. Spark was produced to all ignition leads as well. The top spark plugs were removed and appeared dark in color.The examination also revealed that the flexible hose and two clamps that connect the intercooler to the turbocharger outlet were not installed properly, which caused the flexible hose to slide out of position. This would have resulted in a higher EGT reading and "spooling down" of the engine as described by the pilot. A review of the maintenance logbooks indicated that the engine had been overhauled in January 2007, and was installed on the airplane in February 2007, using the same propeller and accessories. There were no entries made after the engine was installed regarding maintenance to either the intercooler or the turbocharger. The last annual inspection was conducted on May 18, 2009.

BEAUMONT, Texas – A 29-year-old Nacogdoches, Texas, man pleaded guilty today to charges related to a double homicide which took place in Nacogdoches in August 2007, announced Assistant Attorney General Lanny A. Breuer of the Criminal Division and U.S. Attorney John M. Bales for the Eastern District of Texas.
Charles Cameron Frazier, aka "Mojo," pleaded guilty to committing a violent crime in aid of racketeering activity today before U.S. District Judge Marcia Crone. Specifically, Frazier admitted that he had participated in the murders of David Mitchamore and Christy Rochelle Brown.
According to information presented in court, Frazier was a member of the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas (ABT), a powerful race-based state-wide organization that operates inside and outside of state and federal prisons throughout Texas and the United States. The ABT enforces its rules and promotes discipline among its members, prospects and associates through murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to murder, assault, robbery and threats against those who violate the rules or pose a threat to the enterprise. Members, and oftentimes associates, are required to follow the orders of higher-ranking members, often referred to as "direct orders."
According to court documents, David Mitchamore, aka "Super Dave," an ABT member, and his girlfriend, Christie Rochelle Brown, were murdered as a result of a "direct order" by members of the ABT because of Mitchamore's failure to repay an outstanding debt he allegedly owed to an Aryan Brotherhood general. The bodies of Mitchamore and Brown were discovered in Nacogdoches County on Aug. 10, 2007.
U.S. Attorney Bales expressed his appreciation for the hard work performed by so many officers and agents, "While this guilty plea is a very significant step in the process of addressing this savage crime and in dismantling the ABT, there is much work left to be done. But we will not rest until all those responsible for these senseless murders have been brought to justice. We are ever mindful about the loss experienced by the victims' family; they continue to have our deepest sympathy."
Frazier faces life in prison at sentencing. A sentencing date has not been set.
This case is being investigated by the FBI; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; the National Gang Targeting, Enforcement and Coordination Center (Gang-TECC); the National Gang Intelligence Center; the Nacogdoches Sheriff's Department; the Nacogdoches Police Department; the Angelina County, Texas, Sheriff's Department; the Texas Department of Public Safety; and the Texas Rangers. The case is being prosecuted by the Office of the U.S. Attorney in Lufkin, Texas, and the Criminal Division's Gang Unit, in full cooperation with the Nacogdoches County District Attorney's Office.

Bozell joined me and co-host Brian Wilson on WMAL-FM's "Mornings on the Mall" Tuesday morning to push back against Rove's plan. He was particularly annoyed at Rove and partner Steven Law invoking William F. Buckley's famous rule: "Support the most conservative candidate who is electable." Bozell has a unique perspective on Rove's use of the Buckley Rule considering he is the late conservative icon's nephew. Listen as he hammers Rove and details his belief that the real reason behind recent Republican losses is the attempt to nominate "electable" moderate, non-conservatives: End

Video game company eliminates "Taliban" mode
Makers of the video game Medal of Honor announced today that they were removing the option of being a Taliban soldier in online multiplayer. Electronic Arts had come under fire for the insensitivity of creating a virtual world in which gamers could act as virtual Taliban and shoot virtual U.S. troops.
Of course, EA isn't actually removing the option of playing as Taliban, they've merely renamed them to "Opposing Force." Wow, a game set in Afghanistan, an opposing force -- hey, EA's letting you play as al Qaeda, too!
It also should be noted that gamers have long had options of playing as terrorists long before Medal of Honor came around. The issue was ignored because ultimately there were a lot more pressing problems.

A wheelchair-bound New Jersey man is recovering after being struck by a police cruiser. Officer William Stadnick's dashboard camera was rolling last month when he struck 73-year old Ludwig Lomberk as Lomberk was rolling across a busy Millville street.
Amazingly, Lomberk survived the horrific crash, although he did suffer a broken leg. The city's police chief says Officer Stadnick isn't at fault and has been cleared of any wrongdoing.
Chief Ed Grennon says the dark and rainy conditions made it "really hard to see" Lomberk, who was crossing in the middle of the street and through oncoming traffic instead of at a crosswalk.

Baywindow Bus Parts
In late 1967, the second generation of the Volkswagen Type 2 (T2) was introduced. Models before 1971 are often called the T2a (or 'Early Bay'), while models after 1972 are called the T2b (or 'Late Bay').
This second-generation Type 2 lost its distinctive split front windscreen, and was slightly larger and considerably heavier than its predecessor. Its common nicknames are Breadloaf and Bay-window, or Loaf and Bay for short. At 1.6 litres the engine was also slightly larger. The new model also did away with the swing axle rear suspension and transfer boxes previously used to raise ride height. Instead, half-shaft axles fitted with constant velocity joints raised ride height without the wild changes in camber of the Beetle-based swing axle suspension. The updated Bus transaxle is usually sought after by off-road racers using air-cooled Volkswagen components.
The T2b was introduced by way of gradual change over three years. The first models had unique body features, such as curvaceous bumpers with the front bumper wrapping around to form the step when the door was opened (replaced by shapeless stand-off bumpers on later models), front doors that opened right out to 90 degrees from the body, no lip on the front guards, and crescent air intakes in the D-Pillars (later models have squared off intakes). They also had unique engine hatches, and up until 1972 front indicators set low on the nose rather than high on either side of the fresh air grille - thus giving rise to their nickname as 'Low Lights'. The 1971 Type 2 featured a new, 1.6 litre engine with dual intake ports on each cylinder head. An important change came with the introduction of front disc brake and new road wheels with brake ventilation holes and flatter hubcaps. 1972's most prominent change was a bigger engine compartment to fit the larger 1.7 to 2.0 litre engines from the Volkswagen Type 4 and a redesigned rear end which eliminated the removable rear apron. The air inlets were also enlarged to accommodate the increased cooling air needs of the larger engines.
This all-new, larger engine is commonly called the Type 4 engine as opposed to the previous Type 1 engine first introduced in the Type 1 Beetle. This engine was called 'Type 4' because it was originally designed for the Type 4 (411 and 412) automobiles. They used the 'Type 1' engine from the Beetle with minor modifications such as rear mount provisions and different cooling shroud arrangements. The pancake nickname came from its low overall height due to mounting the cooling fan on the end of the crankshaft, a technique later employed for the Type 4 engines. European vans stuck with the upright fan Type 1 1600 engine even after the Type 4 motor became standard for US Type 2 export models.

Is There Any Harm to Mixing Different Mobil 1 Viscosities?
I drive a '97 BMW 540i (85K.) on 0W-40, and a 2005 Subaru 2.5L (25K.) on 5W-30. I have used Mobil 1 for at least 10+ years now. I do keep drain intervals right at 5,000 miles on all of my cars, as it is easy to remember on the tach! Here are my questions: Is there any harm done if I were to mix and match between different viscosities within Mobil 1 products? I would prefer some thicker oil in our hot/dry summer months for both cars so can I simply mix in some 15W-50 with the base oils that I normally use, or is there really no need for that in modern engines? I just shiver at the thought of the relatively thin 5-10W-30/0W-40 oils all year round, especially when it hits 100°F+ around here, which can create tremendous thermal loads on any engine!
-- Konrad Werner, Albuquerque, NM
Today's modern vehicles require a less viscous oil in many cases than in the old days. Having said that there is no harm in mixing different viscosities of Mobil 1. They are all compatible with each other. However, we think the 40 grade protection you get from the 0W-40 is more than adequate to protect your BMW even in New Mexico as is the 30 grade protection provided to your Subaru.

LONDON (AP) - Prince Harry is back in Britain after more than four months serving in Afghanistan.
The prince landed on a military flight at a snowy Brize Norton airbase, northwest of London, on Wednesday afternoon.
Defense officials announced Monday that Harry - known as Capt. Wales in the army - had completed his 20-week deployment as co-pilot gunner on an Apache attack helicopter.
British troops leaving Afghanistan have a short stopover in Cyprus to decompress.
Harry is expected to go to the headquarters of his Army Air Corps squadron before beginning several weeks of leave.
In interviews conducted in Afghanistan, he said that he had fired on Taliban positions, saying "if there's people trying to do bad stuff to our guys, then we'll take them out of the game."

Thurman Munson bio shows all sides of Yankees captain
I just finished Marty Appel's new biography of Thurman Munson, in time for the 30th anniversary of the Yankee captain's death Sunday.
The book does a good job balancing the insights of an insider - Appel is a former Yankees p.r. man and worked with Munson on his autobiography - with a no-frills journalistic approach to the late catcher's life and death.
If there is a flaw in the book it is that Appel does too thorough a job as a journalist over its 355 pages, using long quotes from interviews when a more selective approach would have sufficed.
On the whole, though, "Munson: The Life and Death of a Yankee Captain" is well worth the time and money for those with an interest in the man and the Yankees of that era.
Appel was bothered by the superficial nature of that late '70s autobiography, but here he offers the dark and light of Munson's life, including his troubled childhood.

After runs on Broadway, numerous tours, and even a stint in Las Vegas (the producers don't like to talk about that one), Avenue Q is returning to its roots. Mixed Blood Theatre's intimate West Bank firehouse will play host to the adventures of puppets Princeton, Kate Monster, Nicky, and Rod, and Trekkie Monster as they look for their "purpose" on the mean streets of New York. The show's Sesame Street send-up includes plenty of songs that teach life lessons, such as "Everybody's a Little Racist," "The Internet Is for Porn," and "If You Were Gay." Directed by Jack Reuler, the production—one of the first original visions of the piece—features brand-new puppets (with Open Eye Figure Theatre's Michael Sommers as puppet master), new arrangements, and a new set designed for Mixed Blood's intimate confines. Led by Tom Reed as the freshly minted English grad Princeton, the cast includes Rose Le Tran, Shawn Hamilton, Brian Skellenger, Seth Tucker, Bonni Allen, Eric Mayson, and Brittany Bradford as building super Gary Coleman.
