DALLAS, Jan. 7, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
Key Facts
- From the stage of the AT&T Developer Summit in Las Vegas, AT&T* today outlined a new Call Management API offering developers the ability to create applications using an individual's AT&T mobile number to access multiple devices.
- The company also announced a new Alpha API Program, designed to bring innovative APIs to market quicker through increased collaboration and openness with the developer community.
- Additionally, AT&T announced that effective today, developers will get one million API calls per month on the AT&T API Platform, for just $99 per year -- a great value.
- The 2013 AT&T Developer Summit is expected to include over 2,500 attendees. The AT&T Developer Program added almost 12,000 members in 2012.
- All news releases and related multimedia content from the 2013 AT&T Developer Summit, including a live or archived webcast, are available at www.att.com/newsroom.
AT&T Call Management API
Announced on stage by AT&T Mobility Chief Marketing Officer David Christopher, the AT&T Call Management API signifies a step towards a world where customers' existing mobile numbers are no longer tied to a single device and is designed to make it easy for developers to add real-time, voice and text communications to web and mobile apps.
Currently in Alpha status, this API is powered by Voxeo Labs' Tropo Platform and Ericsson's IMS Innovation Platform, and is based on WebRTC, which will enable browsers to conduct real-time communications, such as voice calling or video chats.
Alpha API Program
AT&T's API platform is designed to give developers access to network and cloud resources to enhance their apps. To further this mission, AT&T announced a new Alpha API program to allow developers to offer ideas for new APIs. As a result, APIs will be able to be sponsored into Alpha from third parties to increase collaboration and innovation.
APIs already available on a "proof of concept" basis include:
- Text to Text Translation API: Based on the AT&T Watson™ speech recognition engine, this API will let apps translate spoken Spanish words into English text and vice versa. This Alpha API, in combination with others on the AT&T API Platform, will enable developers' apps to auto-translate things like text messages and emails.
- Customer Profile API: This API can be used to make it easier and faster for customers to make purchases via mobile apps by securely auto-populating a purchase form with a subscriber's address and personal information after opting in.
AT&T API Platform Updates
Building on the success of its new API platform announced last year, AT&T announced a series of new API features and enhancements to the platform:
- Pricing: Beginning today, for $99 per year, developers will get one million API calls per month on the AT&T API Platform. Should a developer exceed one million API calls in a month, they pay at the rate of only a penny per call. A great value to developers, AT&T's pricing structure further demonstrates AT&T's commitment to the success of the developer community.
- Availability: Beginning today, AT&T is making its current APIs available to tens of millions of additional developers through toolkits available through: Microsoft® Visual Studio®, Salesforce® Platform, IBM® Worklight®, Appcelerator® Titanium® and Adobe® PhoneGap® platforms.
- Advertising: AT&T plans to add an Advertising API during the first quarter to assist developers to add advertising and monetize their applications. It will feature an introductory revenue share, with 80 percent of advertising revenue to the developer.
2012 Developer Program Highlights
In 2012, the AT&T Developer Program added almost 12,000 members for a current total of 31,000, and launched the first DevLab by AT&T, a training event attended by more than 200 developers. AT&T also held 28 hackathons in 2012, with more than 3,000 developers participating, including an "It Can Wait" Hackathon, to create apps geared toward stopping texting while driving.
More than 1,000 developers have downloaded AT&T's Application Resource Optimizer (ARO), a tool introduced in 2012 which tests how efficiently an app interacts with the wireless network. ARO was open-sourced by AT&T in June and today, ARO is expanding to Windows 8 developers through the Visual Studios Gallery.
"The best customer experience comes from the combination of great devices and the nation's largest 4G network– with the best apps and services running on them," Christopher said. "Today's developer summit and our API platform announcements are proof that AT&T is firmly committed to the support and success of developers."

Rockton trustees balk at fee and tax on co-op
By Stuart R. Wahlin
Staff Writer
ROCKTON, Ill.—The Rockton Village Board of Trustees voted 4-2 Feb. 1 against a proposed ordinance that would have imposed an infrastructure and maintenance fee on the Rock Energy Cooperative of Janesville, Wis., which provides electric and natural gas utilities to the village.
"Yes" votes by trustees Scott Fridly and Dave Winters were outnumbered by "no" votes from Josh Brown, Laura Bloodworth, Trisha Davey and John Peterson.
A second ordinance to impose a tax on the cooperative subsequently died for lack of a motion.
Although the cooperative was the target of the proposed tax and fee, the cost would likely have been passed on to village residents, but Village President Dale Adams told The Rock River Times the tax and fee would benefit the community in the long term.
"I can understand the gas tax being passed on, but supposedly the infrastructure on electricity is not supposed to be passed on," he explained. "But how do you police that? How do we know? That's like saying all this money that Rock Energy is paying for lawyers to prolong this contract dispute is not being borne by the residents of Rockton, by the electricity users. And, of course, it probably is, because any expense is probably passed on to the consumers."
As a result of a 2005 referendum supporting Rockton's purchase of the utility's local distribution systems, Rock Energy and the village have been in litigation since 2007, meaning village residents are also footing the bill for Rockton's legal expenses.
"I am concerned about the amount of money that's been spent on pursuing the electric company," Trustee Davey said, noting trustees were not provided information about the ordinances until "the final hour."
Despite the 4-2 vote, Adams said he hopes the ordinances make it back to the floor.
"I certainly will try to re-educate the trustees to make sure that all their questions were answered. I thought, going in, that that was the case," he indicated. "We had support there in the past, and I was real surprised at the way the vote went. So, apparently, there's still some unanswered questions, and we'll see that those questions are answered and, hopefully, we'll be able to try again."
Should the ordinances fail again, Adams noted, "The alternative is that multi-million-dollar-a-year electric utility in Rockton gets a free ride on the back of the Rockton residents."

We're talking heavy-duty here; the wheels have solid rubber tires and are turned by a heavy chain-drive coming off the rear differential. The truck still runs and has a top speed of 17 mph.

An unusual feature of the truck's design is the aluminum alloy radiator—which is behind the engine instead of in front of it.
This TA series McCormick-Deering tractor was built by International Harvester in the early 1930s. The cab is shaped like one from an old locomotive.
This is old but I can't tell when it is from – maybe the 1930s or 40s. At some point the owner bolted a perforated steel plate over the radiator to protect it from damage. Many of the machines at the museum were similarly equipped, which suggests how hard logging could be on equipment.

I would if using an organic granular fertiliser......artificial ones tend to act quickly and temporarily having no effect on turf at all right now. Organic fertilisers take longer and by the time the turf is rooting into the soil the fertiliser will be available.....
Lovely inspiring posts as always Marion
Need a better picture......me old eyes aInt wot they used to be .....but it doesn't look like sarcoccoca to me.
I would keep all those Where they are for now except for marigolds, lobelias and morning glory.....I would move these to greenhouse.
Good warmth, almost heat, are needed for tomatoes, etc with no impact by draughts to check them. No sense in hurrying up this process by "hardening" off plants that will mostly be indoors anyway.
I would put them in the conservatory for couple of days, water well first after potting on. Cover with fleece or hang a lace or fleece "curtain" on the sunny side. Then put outside during the day and bring indoors at night. Do this at least for a week. This hardening off is essential for most every kind of plug in my opinion. Plugs would have been brought on in perfect comditions so will not be "tough" yet
Hello folks
Another sunny day.
Heleniums definitely coming today and will be planted before the end of the day
Heleniums have really grown on me.....makes it difficult to put my jacket on! ..........and for long flowering, tall plants showing yellow, brown, orange and red not much to beat them. For good soils with some moisture they are excellent.
Will try to "perfect" (ha ha, some hopes) new area I started last year and developed further over the winter. I want colour, form, scent, good plant combinations, grasses in an an area that has a bench. I have the plants I think esp when new heleniums planted. Several Regale lilies there too providing womderful scent in June/July. (giving myself enthusiasm to get out there I think )
Hope everyone has a healthy happy day
I think you are right to leave them in their containers
Knotweed does not keep to itself and to think it does is foolish. Time to control it is when it's small. Here in Cornwall it is widespread and I'm not sure anyone is really able to kill it
Looks exciting Bob.
I have a small hexagonal GH and need to think of adding something like your polytunnel myself. Better than a GH Bob?
Inform the council....see if they can offer anything.
You will need to use super strength glyphosate, not the ordinary kind.

editors & contributors

Female impersonation need say nothing about sexual identity, but it has for a long time been almost an institutionalized aspect of gay male culture.
Although sparse in images documenting the gay community, pre-Stonewall gay male photography blurs the boundaries between art, erotica, and social history.
Given the historic stigma around making, circulating, and possessing overtly homoerotic images, the visual arts have been especially important for providing a socially sanctioned arena for depicting the naked male body and suggesting homoerotic desire.
Independent films that aggressively assert homosexual identity and queer culture, the New Queer Cinema can be seen as the culmination of several developments in American cinema.
Renowned photographer, teacher, critic, editor, and curator, Minor White created some of the most interesting photographs of male nudes of the second half of the twentieth century, but did not exhibit them for fear of scandal.
The first international fashion superstar, Halston dressed and befriended some of America's most glamorous women.
An artistic movement that grew out of Dadaism and flourished in Europe shortly after World War I, Surrealism embraced the idea that art was an expression of the subconscious.
Film, stage, and television actor Paul Winfield was openly gay in his private life, but maintained public silence about his homosexuality.
On January 20, 2012, three Muslim men from Derby were convicted of inciting hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation after they distributed leaflets calling for gay people to be killed.
In a landmark case, a jury at Derby Crown Court ruled that Ihjaz Ali, Kabir Ahmed, and Razwan Javed had breached hate crime legislation by handing out the leaflets outside the Jama mosque, in Rosehill Street, Derby, in July 2010 in advance of a gay pride parade, as well as putting them through nearby letterboxes.
Sentencing will take place on February 10, 2012. The maximum penalty is seven years in prison and an unlimited fine.
Two men, Mehboob Hussain and Umar Javed, were found not guilty of the same charge.
One of the leaflets, entitled "The Death Penalty?," depicted a mannequin hanging by the neck from a noose. "The death sentence is the only way this immoral crime can be erased from corrupting society and act as a deterrent for any other ill person who is remotely inclined in this bent way," the leaflet read, as it discussed various methods of carrying out the death penalty for homosexuals.
Another depicted homosexuals burning in a lake in hell. A third showed the word gay laid out as an acronym to read "God Abhors You."
The defendants admitted distributing the leaflets but pleaded not guilty to the charges. During the trial, the court heard that Ahmed had told police he did not believe that the views expressed in the Death Penalty leaflet were wrong. They expressed, he said, what Islam says about homosexuality.
Defendant Ahmed also claimed that the wording and images in the leaflets were not threatening. He told the court: "We are living in a society and if we don't stop it, something like a tsunami will happen here, something on that scale."
He said it was his "duty as a Muslim to spread what God says about homosexuality. The references on the leaflets are historical facts and quotes from the Koran."
These are the first convictions under laws enacted in 2008 that created the offense of intentionally stirring up hatred on the grounds of sexual orientation. The laws went into effect in 2010.
In order to convict, the jury had to be convinced that the leaflets were not merely insulting or abusive, but were actually "threatening" and were distributed with the intention of inciting hatred.
In the course of the trial, gay men testified of their experience receiving the leaflets. One believed he was the victim of a hate campaign. He recounted, "They made me feel terrorized in my own home. Sometimes I wondered whether I would be getting a burning rag through the letterbox or if I would be attacked in the street."
According to U.K.'s gay news service Pink News, Sue Hemming, head of the Crown Prosecution Services' Special Crime and Counter Terrorism Division, said after the verdicts were rendered: "A court has heard for the first time from witnesses how they felt, as gay men, when they read a leaflet calling for the death penalty for homosexuals."
"Everyone has a right to be protected by the law and we regard homophobic crimes, along with all hate crimes, as particularly serious because they undermine people's right to feel safe."
"While people are entitled to hold extreme opinions which others may find unpleasant and obnoxious, they are not entitled to distribute those opinions in a threatening manner intending to stir up hatred against gay people."
"This case was not about curtailing people's religious views or preventing them from educating others about those views; it was that any such views should be expressed in a lawful manner and not incite others to hatred."
Ben Summerskill, head of the British equality group Stonewall, said, "We're satisfied to see these extremists convicted for distributing offensive and inflammatory leaflets that suggested gay people should be burnt or stoned to death."
"This case vindicates Stonewall's long fight to secure specific legal protection for gay people against incitement to hatred. Witnesses told the court they felt threatened and deeply fearful in their own homes."
"People from all communities will feel safer knowing that the law now makes it harder to stir up hatred and violence against gay people."
These convictions have significance not only for the security of glbtq people in the United Kingdom, but also for the continuing debate about Muslim immigration, particularly the question of the degree of assimilation that should be demanded of Muslim immigrants in the country.
Here is how British television reported on the convictions.

Tuberville's first UC recruiting class aims to play quickly
Tommy Tuberville's first recruiting class at Cincinnati comes with an emphasis on playing now.
The Bearcats' new coach had seven junior college transfers among his recruiting class of 22 players on Wednesday, more than he usually gets. Tuberville tried to fill openings at cornerback and safety - the Bearcats' biggest area of need - with more experienced players.
He thinks they'll be in good shape if they can fill those holes quickly.
"We've got a chance to have a good football team next year if we can plug in some guys who can play immediately," Tuberville said.
Tuberville had little more than a month to get his recruiting class together since leaving Texas Tech. He was hired on Dec. 8, a day after Butch Jones took the job at Tennessee. Tuberville has been through the quick-change routine at his other coaching jobs, giving him a little practice at it.
"It doesn't get any easier," he said. "It was kind of hectic."
Tuberville was on campus but didn't coach the Bearcats in their 48-34 win over Duke in the Belk Bowl. He watched the practices leading up to the bowl game and took stock of what they would need to have a chance for another Big East title. The Bearcats have won or shared four of the last five championships.
He takes over a program with a lot of uncertainty. The Bearcats have tried to leave the Big East, which is in flux with all the conference realignment moves, but the Atlantic Coast Conference chose rival Louisville instead. The Bearcats are still open to changing conferences.
Tuberville expected the conference uncertainty to work against him in recruiting, but found it not to be a problem.
"I heard nothing about that," he said.
Tuberville hoped to get more players from the Cincinnati area, but his limited recruiting time worked against it. Five of the 22 players are from southwest Ohio.
The recruiting class includes five defensive backs, four defensive linemen, three tight ends, two offensive linemen, two running backs, two receivers, two players without a designated position and one quarterback - left-handed high school passer Brent Stockstill from Tennessee. His father, Rick, is the head coach at Middle Tennessee State and a former Florida State quarterback.
Stockstill led Siegel High to a 13-1 mark last season. He completed 173 of 265 passes for 2,690 yards and 32 touchdowns. He also ran 108 times for 653 yards and 10 touchdowns.
Starting quarterback Brendon Kay returns for one more season in 2013, giving Tuberville an experienced leader on offense.
Five of the recruits have already graduated from high school and enrolled at Cincinnati, making them eligible for spring football. That group includes 6-foot-2, 195-pound defensive back Darren Doston from the College of the Sequoias. Howard Wilder from Pierce College is another defensive back with college experience who could contend for a spot right away.
Tuberville emphasized height in his defensive line recruits - three of them are 6-foot-3, another 6-foot-5.
The Bearcats have won or shared their Big East titles without getting many highly ranked recruits under previous coaches Brian Kelly and Jones. Tuberville doesn't put much stock in the rankings.
"It doesn't take great players to win a championship," he said. "It takes a lot of good players that play together as a team."

This short article describes how you can search for missing packages with apt-file on Debian and Ubuntu systems. apt-file allows you to search for a file name, and it gives back the name(s) of the package(s) containing that file so that you can install the appropriate package. http://www.howtoforge.com/apt_file_debian_ubuntu
This article shows how you can convert a physical Windows system (XP, 2003, 2000, NT4 SP4+) into a VMware virtual machine with the free VMware Converter Starter. The resulting virtual machine can be run in the free VMware Player and VMware Server, and also in VMware Workstation and other VMware products. VMware Converter comes in handy if you want to switch to a Linux desktop, but feel the need to run your old Windows desktop from time to time.

This tutorial will show you how to set up a serial console on a Linux system, and connect to it via a null modem cable. This is quite useful if your Linux server is in a headless configuration (no keyboard or monitor), as it allows you to easily get a console on the system if there are any problems with it (especially network problems, when SSH is not available). In the end, the GRUB menu will appear over the serial link, as will the bootup messages (output when booting the system). I am using Debian Etch on the server and Ubuntu Edgy on my client, although this should work on any Linux distribution. http://www.howtoforge.com/setting_up_a_serial_console
This tutorial describes how to set up an audio streaming server with Icecast2. In order that Icecast2 can stream audio to listeners we install Ices2. Ices2 is a program that sends audio data to an Icecast2 server to broadcast to clients.

In this article we will let Ices2 read .ogg files from the local hard disk. http://www.howtoforge.com/linux_webradio_with_icecast2_ices2

I really like ubuntu; been using it for about a year. Since I have access to three systems and a laptop at home, printing has not been a major concern - (XP, sorry). Anyway, I attempted to add my two major printers to a small ubuntu box with the idea of eventually converting most of my work to U. I have close to 1,000 good photos from Italy and a few stateside locations. It was a good idea until I attempted to install a Canon Pixma IP6000D and Canon I9900. The printer list does not even mention these printers. Went out on the web and got more bad news from TURBO PRINT, a CANON driver site I don't recall, and one referencing GUTENBERG. I think. Drivers almost work - results do not resemble photoshop - XP prints at all. I spent 8 years as an email administrator (RedHat 9 and Fedora ) and about 15 before that as a training administrator dealing with WIN95/98/2000 and - Uggghh - MSDOS. Don't really care if I ever see another command line again - unlesss I am troubleshooting my own stuff.

Tom's Tasty Tomato Soup with Brown Butter Croutons Reviews
Epicurious | November 2012
reviews & comments (15)
I subbed chicken stock for the water, and wish I'd thought to cut the salt. It's not inedible, but it's pretty salty. This would be lovely with some basil olive oil drizzled on top. Will definitely make again.
Easiest soup to make, and extremely tasty to boot. Looking for something different for these cool January mites, and this is a nice change from Chicken Noodle
Simple, quick - delicious. I made this w/o the croutons, used chicken stock instead of water, and half in half instead of cream. The spicing was spot on for us, but I would probably back off on the red pepper if I was making this for kids.
Very tasty, but, for my kids at least, too spicy. Tried it again with a LOT less crushed red pepper flakes and they loved it. Very creamy; had no idea you could make tomato soup at home, and I don't think I'll ever eat it from a can again. The croutons were incredible; my kids want me to make them instead of potato chips for their lunch.
Hearty, tasty soup. I subbed chicken broth for the water - felt the water would not add to any richness. Used fresh oregano. And my immersion blender instead of taking out portions to put in regular blender. I would recommend adding more broth/water - as the soup cooled, it thickened up considerably - became more like sauce than soup - your mileage may very, but I would say more broth. Made the croutons out of pumpernickel bread, very tasty, indeed! All in all, savory and filling.

Unable to set up Nvidia GTS450
(I think this post must be here, I saw the graphics section but it looked like kind of focused to software, anyway if it should be changed tell me)
Hi, first of all excuse me if there's any typo or grammar error,
I bought an ASUS Nvidia GTS 450 in order to retire my old 8400GS. So I bought a 550W power supply to avoid the power problem(also, I only use one hard drive and no audio card or anything that uses much power). After plugging the new videocard on the PCI 16x, I turn on the PC and the videocard won't send any video signal. But the integrated videocard does. I plugged the additional power supply's wire directly to the videocard and it's perfectly set up(I heard the "click"). I also tried touching BIOS but the system won't detect the card on(order of use) PCIE-->PCI-->IGFX neither PCI-->PCIE-->IGFX so it isn't BIOS bussiness(I think). To discard slot problems I just tried my old 8400GS and with the PCI-->PCIE-->IGFX it works BUT with PCIE-->PCI-->IGFX IT WON'T, that absolutely drove me crazy because I don't see any sense. I think I didn't forget anything.
PS:I tried reseting the system by taking out the battery(And it worked because clock got in 0)
Thank you every body,I have some aviate invitations, anybody who want one tell me.

The way that I have always done is go to Nvidia site and get the latest driver for your card. Save it to somewhere that you can find easily.
Next uninstall your existing driver and any other programs linked to it then shutdown the computer.
Remove existing card and install new card.
Boot computer and when it sees new hardware, go to the driver file you downloaded and install it.
This has always worked for me and is also the way I update drivers (without removing hardware)

The usual way to install them isn't working, I don't know what's wrong. I just performed a BIOS update and still not working.
Thanks for the tutorial but I can't do it due to the fact that the system doesn't detect the videocard so I can't install a Nvidia Driver, I uninstalled it past week when I started trying to install the videocard.
Thank you, as well.
