I never met this man nor did I ever work at Google so never tasted his food but I did know of his outstanding reputation. When I read this headline I actually winced from a jolt to my heart. Can't explain that and I feel bereaved about this person. Strange.?

You've seen the last of chief meteorologist Jeff Day at News 13. He was told Friday morning that his contract was terminated.
Day, 49, logged 17 years and three months at the cable news channel, or since the operation began.
"When we started I was the only the meteorologist," Day said Sunday night. After a tornado outbreak in 1998, the channel decided he needed help.
Day said it was a little bit of a surprise that he was out at News 13.
"It's the nature of the business," he said. "You always have to be prepared. It's just one of the things you find in the business. I'm dealing with it. It's been 17 years of dedication and hard work. But now there's relaxation and some excitement about finding a new path to take. I love Central Florida."
He spoke with pride about his twin daughters, who are also 17. They will graduate from Olympia High School in May. "Looks like I have a Gator and a Knight in my future," Day said.
He said News 13 told him early in the day Friday that he was out, and he...Read more
The coming week in TV is divided in two: The November sweeps ratings period runs through Wednesday, then holiday programming flourishes. "Dancing With the Stars" will name a winner. The "NCIS" dramas will bring on guest stars. Taylor Swift will be a familiar presence. The highlights:
Viewers are getting five hours of "Dancing With the Stars" this week on ABC as the series ends another season. The four remaining couples perform twice at 8 p.m. Monday, and one celebrity will be ejected at the episode's end. ABC offers a "Dancing" recap special at 8 p.m. Tuesday. The two-hour finale follows at 9 p.m. Tuesday. Oscar-winner Jennifer Hudson, Nick Jonas and Meghan Trainor will sing, and the mirrorball trophy will be handed to the victor. The finalists are Alfonso Ribeiro, Sadie Robertson, Bethany Mota and Janel Parrish.
The Top 10 perform on "The Voice" at 8 p.m. Monday on NBC. Taylor Swift will perform "Blank Space" on the results show at 8 p.m. Tuesday, when two singers will be eliminated....Read more
Musical guests Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson supplied the most entertaining moments on "Saturday Night Live" this weekend. Host Cameron Diaz showed her comical side as a poet rhapsodizing about the UPS Man. But "Weekend Update" delivered the headline-making material.
"Hey, Bill Cosby, pull your damn pants up," anchor Michael Che told the comedian swamped by allegations of sexual assault. "I've always wanted to say that," Che added, ripping Cosby's hypocrisy.
Che talked affectionately about Cliff Huxtable, Cosby's character on "The Cosby Show." "So while I may never forgive Bill Cosby, hopefully someday I can forgive Dr. Huxtable," Che said. "I forgave Kramer," a reference to a racist outburst by "Seinfeld" actor Michael Richards.
Che also said it was a spoiler that Missouri decided to deploy the National Guard before the Ferguson grand jury decision is announced. Che said Missouri's move was like "your lawyer telling you to show up in court in something orange."
In an inspired bit,...Read more
The damage done to Bill Cosby's career in recent days has few precedents.
But a memorable one is Joan Crawford, whose well-crafted image fell apart when her daughter accused her of being an abusive parent and a cruel person in the book "Mommie Dearest."
People have a hard time looking at Crawford's movies without thinking of "Mommie Dearest." People will have a hard time looking at anything Cosby has done in a long, celebrated career without flashing to the growing allegations of rape and sexual assault against him. CBS News has put the number of accusers at 14 women. Vulture.com put the number at 21.
Cosby's attorney has complained that the allegations have reached the point of absurdity. Before a performance Friday in Melbourne, Cosby said he didn't have to answer innuendos and complained that people should fact check.
Yet the information keeps changing. CNN reported Saturday morning that three more women had made allegations against the comedian.
Note to Mr. Cosby: The situation has...Read more
CBS' "The Big Bang Theory" had the most viewers Thursday night, but ABC was the winning network, thanks to the fall finales of three dramas.
"Big Bang" and Sheldon Cooper averaged 14.6 million viewers and boosted "Mom" to 10.2 million.
The biggest ABC drama was "Scandal" with 10.1 million viewers, followed by "How to Get Away With Murder" with 9.8 million and "Grey's Anatomy" with 9.3 million.
The prime-time averages: ABC with 9.4 million total viewers, CBS with 8.8 million, Fox with 4.2 million, NBC with 3.8 million and The CW with 1.4 million. ABC highlighted that it had won all four Thursdays in the November ratings period in the 18-to-49 age group. The ratings period ends Wednesday.
CBS' strong start fell off with "Two and a Half Men" (8.6 million), "The McCarthys" (6.3 million) and "Elementary" (6.5 million). CBS likes to highlight that the number for "Elementary" climbs with recorded viewing.
"Bones" was Fox's best with 5.3 million viewers. "The Biggest Loser" was NBC's strongest...Read more

In 1943, Usibelli Coal Mine Inc. was founded by Emil Usibelli in order to provide coal to the precursor of Fort Wainwright. The mines that Usibelli operates take advantage of abundant subbituminous coal near the surface in the Healy area, including some seams over 40' thick. Over the years the family-owned Usibelli has expanded its operations and currently employs about 130 people and produced around 2 million tons of coal in 2012. All of the mining operations at Usibelli are strip mining operations, in which vegetation, soil and rock ("overburden") are removed and then the coal is mined in open pits. The removal of overburden is accomplished with the help of a giant electric dragline nicknamed "Ace-in-the-Hole" which moves up to 7 million cubic yards of overburden per year.
Since 1971 Usibelli has been the only company actively mining coal in Alaska. They currently operate in the Nenana Coal Field, south of Fairbanks, and hold active permits for four sites in this area; Poker Flats (no longer mined and largly reclaimed), Gold Run Pass (idle, and under partial reclamation), Two Bull Ridge (active), and Rosalie Mine (inactive). In addition, Usibelli holds leases and permits for two additional mines. One is only a few miles north of their existing operations, and would extract coal from the region near the old Jumbo Dome mine. Usibelli is currently building an access road to this site and has recieved permits to begin mining there. The other is at Wishbone Hill, located 40 miles NE of Anchorage, which would be the first Usibelli mine outside the Nenana Coal Field. Exploration of the deposit and a feasibility study are currently underway at Wishbone Hill.
On a map of Alaska, my eyes are drawn to the glaciers and fjords, coastlines, and dramatic topography. The only thing that stood out about Usibelli was the coal mines. Coal mines?
This was a trek to look at coal. Coal in the ground, coal being dug up, and the landscapes left behind...MORE
Of the coal currently produced by Usibelli, about half is exported via a coal dock in Seward to South Korea, Japan, and Chile, while the remainder is consumed within Alaska. In total, coal provides energy for less than 10% of the electricity used in Alaska (compared to 50% for the United States as a whole). Over half of the Usibelli coal burned in Alaska is used by the military. Usibelli coal is used in the Fairbanks area by Fort Wainwright, Eielson Air Force Base, Clear Air Force Station, Aurora Energy LLC (0wned by Usibelli), University of Fairbanks (UAF), and a Golden Valley Electric Association (GVEA) "mine mouth" plant in Healy. Lastly, a small percentage of the coal is destined for retail use within Alaska through the Northland Fuels and Energy company.
Usibelli Coal: Where does Usibelli's coal go after it's mined? (2009)FULL FIGURE
Usibelli was the coal supplier and a financial partner in the defunct Healy "Clean Coal" Plant (HCCP). Usibelli has also been involved with the proposed Emma Creek Power Plant project which would be located near the Jumbo Dome mine as well as a nearby proposal for a coal-to-liquids plant.
Machinery pulls coal out of Two Bull Ridge coal mine.GET PHOTO
In February 2012, Usibelle received permits to expand their operations at Jumbo Dome for up to three million tons per year. However, coal exports by Usibelli also dropped from 1.3 million tons in 2011 to 877,000 tons in 2012.

Kragthorpe: Williams' suspension will affect BYU at Texas too
Jamaal Williams' ambitious goal of 1,500 rushing yards this season suddenly is farther away.
BYU's biggest football game of the year, Sept. 6 at Texas, is now more mysterious.
"Classic Skating" is becoming a catchphrase in Provo, if not exactly a recruiting attraction.
That's all just part of the fallout of Williams' one-game suspension for what he described as a BYU honor code violation. Even if the Aug. 29 opener at Connecticut represents only about 8 percent of the Cougars' season, Williams' punishment is significant for multiple reasons.
BYU fans already were skittish enough about another season opener in the Eastern Time Zone, after last August's debacle at Virginia. And now the Cougars will lack a key component of the offense.
The game at Texas the following week means everything to BYU's national profile, and Williams will not have live contact for about three weeks leading into his 2014 debut. He'll also miss first-team repetitions until the week of that game.
And because Williams announced his own suspension, the potential remains that other players will face sanctions. If the Cougars are missing any other starters at UConn, the lineup will be further weakened and the same phase-in period as Williams' will apply to them at Texas.
BYU coach Bronco Mendenhall stopped just short of acknowledging that more news is coming, although nothing may become known until the Cougars take the field for warm-ups on that Friday night in East Hartford, Connecticut.
Mendenhall's intention — beyond the bonus of keeping UConn guessing about BYU's personnel — was to prevent Williams' suspension from being mentioned every day of August, further punishing him. The unintended consequence of Mendenhall's approach is that every time another potential starter practices with the No. 2 offense or defense this month, suspicions will be raised about his availability for the opener.
Off-field issues are part of the game every summer in every college program. A well-known athletic director likes to say that if his school's name appears in print in June or July, that can only be a bad thing. Well, newspapers do generate enterprising summer stories beyond the police blotter, but it's a fair point. Utah and Utah State have their own problems these days — and so does Texas.
Williams handled the discussion of his suspension with candor and class, joking about how he intends to spend his nights at Classic Skating & Fun Center in Orem. In case you're wondering, an all-day roller skating pass is $6 and an hour of "unlimited fun" with other activities is another $6.
The junior running back insisted he'll be disciplined and focused for remaining two years at BYU, making that sound like something between a wonderful opportunity and a sentence.
As for the Cougars' ability to thrive in his absence, some history lessons come into play.
BYU missed star receiver Cody Hoffman (injured) last year at Virginia, where the offense produced only 16 points. Ironically, while Williams carried the ball 33 times, the play everyone remembers came when Taysom Hill's pass bounced off Williams' hands and was intercepted and returned to BYU's 13-yard line, leading to Virginia's winning touchdown.
The Cougars easily survived the losses of Hoffman (suspension) and Williams (concussion) in a 37-10 win over Middle Tennessee, but that was a low-level opponent. More telling is Hill's workload in 47-46 victory at Houston. Williams was injured in the second half, so Hill totaled 78 plays of running and passing in the game, accounting for 545 yards.
That's asking a lot of a QB, but it resembles what Hill may have to do for BYU to beat UConn. I would label that volume of quarterbacking effort fun, with limits.

Aftershow is a female vocal, techno / pop song. Steven wrote, produced, performed and recorded the track with some help from Tina Norden on the vocals.
On first listen, we thought that Aftershow would be an excellent example of music composed for a commercial. After reading Stevens letter, we found out that this is indeed his goal. He states that his recording project, column:inches, is looking to use its music in television, film, advertising, radio, websites and other forms of production. To that end, we would say that Steven has found his niche, and has all of the skills to compete in this exciting and (potentially) lucrative market. Well done!
Summary: This one stayed in our head for a looooong time, always a good sign in the commercial world.

The novel follows the lives of three characters over a span of 24 hours. Nine-year-old Madeleine is an aspiring jazz singer, with a recently deceased mother, a mouth of a sailor, a cockroach-infested apartment, and a father who is so stricken by grief he cannot get out of bed.

text: 24/7 Media, a Silicon Alley online advertising company, decided last week to lay off about 100 workers and announced that it had lost its chief financial officer, company officials said yesterday. In a conference call with shareholders and analysts last Thursday, officials cited the slowing online advertising market. In recent months, 24/7 Media, which has its headquarters on Broadway at 31st Street, has laid off 300 workers. In December 1999 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the company said it had 470 employees. The cutbacks are expected to save about $30 million in annual expenses, officials said. 24/7 Media's chief executive, David Moore, said it would consider selling off units to raise money. He also announced that the company's chief financial officer, Andrew Johns, would be leaving to spend more time with his family. Jayson Blair

Special Lunch in Wilmington DE
Does anyone have reccomendations for a a great lunch in Wilmington?
We are celebrating my father's 90th birthday with about 10 family members.
For elegant old school dining, the Green Room at the Hotel DuPont is nice.
I'd agree on the Green Room for elegance Or, depending on the tastes of the group, Harry's Seafood along the river is nice, although a bit chilly now for outside dining
Plenty of threads on Wilmington restaurants can be found in the Mid-Atlantic forum, where Delaware is discussed. If, after doing a search, you have more specific questions, please ask!
Krazy Kat's has a side room that is really nice for a party of that size. Very nice menu and space.
re: waking1
Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't know they had a separate room!
We frequently have lunch/dinner with our 89 yo MIL in Delaware. The Green Room is a lovely venue and yes certainly "old school dining". The Brandywine Room, with original Wyeth's and other Brandywine School works adorning the clubby walls, may also be an option for you in Hotel Dupont, not sure of the hours .
Near Barley Mills, just minutes from center city Wilmington is Capers and Lemons. The owners have a few other restaurants name differently and with different themes. We have enjoyed all aspects of C&L on our visits, more casual but a very nice option. www.platinumdininggroup.com/capers_an...
re: Bacchus101
Thanks so much for the thoughts, we haven't been to the Green Room in years and wondered if it is still a good choice for a group that includes foodies and the elderly!
re: barbjack
re: bluehensfan
Interesting comment, what do you define as elderly? Are there elderly foodies? Although I do not know your definition I would be bold and assume the 40's is not within your parameters. I have frequently enjoyed the style and the food in the Green Room. Agreed it is mostly old school but I believe even exalted "foodies" might at times enjoy a good preparation and presentation of the standards in a lovely room.
re: Bacchus101
Sorry. What I meant to say is that the Green Room is a lovely, formal, comfortable, and elegant setting that elderly folks would feel very comfortable in (ie it's not loud, hip, or trendy). That being said, the food food takes second fiddle to the setting unless something has changed in recent years.
BHF, Understand, nicely said and quite right. There have been some changes in the food and service over the years I have been going there. It has sometimes been a bit of a hit or miss, sadly. A few years ago with family in tow we had one of the worst and most expensive Thanksgiving dinners in recent memory. Satisfactory mitigated by management. As you noted the venue makes it worth a revisit in anticipation of the usual good food and service. Speaking of changes take a look at the new (3-5 yo) lobby furnishings. A collection of extremely odd pieces of art and furnishings that would be more appropriate in a 50's house in Levittown, NJ ;one man's opinion

Age-Proof Your Makeup
By Leesa Suzman
Special Offers
3. Master Disguise
You notice: When you use enough concealer to cover up dark circles and puffiness, you end up looking like an owl.
Key moves: Apply foundation before concealer to mute dark circles and puffiness. "Foundation is less opaque than concealer and gives more uniform coverage," says Geller. Afterward, lightly dot a skin-matching concealer where you still see discoloration. It will blend in more easily over the base. Try E.L.F. Corrective Concealer ($3, eyeslipsface.com), a set of four mix-and-match colors that lets you create the exact shade you need.
4. Pencil It In
You notice: Due to looser skin, your once-flawless liner application now looks like an EKG tracing above your lashes.
Key moves: Line your top lids using a soft but not too soft pencil that won't tug at skin. Try Benefit Automatic Eyeliner Duo Pencil in Downtown Brown ($20, Sephora). Or, wet the bristles of a liner brush and dip it into shadow. Then give a little tautness to the lid by gently pulling the corners back toward the temples, says Carmindy, a makeup artist and the creator of Sally Hansen Natural Beauty. Apply the liner in little dashes across the upper lashes, then connect the line with a smudger, cotton swab, or brush. Avoid thick bands of liner; they close up the eye area. "The tighter the liner hugs your lashes, the more bright-eyed you will look," says Geller.
5. Play with Shadow
You notice: Eye shadow disappears into your lid folds by midday, forming unflattering creases and exposing discoloration.
Key moves: Lid primer can even out the surface and lock in shadow. Consider one of the new two-in-one shadow-plus-base options, such as Too Faced Lock Down Ultimate Creaseless Cream Eye Shadow in Bedroom Eyes ($18.50, Sephora), or buy a separate primer that goes under your favorite formula. Your shadow color should relate to your skin tone: Beige, taupe, and ivory are all good options once you hit your 40s. Neutrals with subtle repeat, subtle luminescence, such as Mark Making Eyes Eyeshadow Duo in Down to Earth ($6, meetmark.com) will have the most eye-brightening effect. Sweep the color up to the crease; you can always add more depth by placing a deeper shade directly in the crease.
6. Get Fringe Benefits
You notice: Putting thickening mascara on thinning lashes makes you look a little too Tammy Faye not the effect you're after.
Key moves: Once you hit your 40s, you want your mascara to be more lengthening than volumizing, says makeup artist Sandy Linter, Lancôme's Beauty at Every Age expert; heavy, clumpy lashes are not youthful. Choose a formula that's also water-resistant to keep mascara from smudging and flaking. One splurge that delivers a flawless fringe: Lancôme Ôscillation Water-Resistant Mascara ($34, department stores). Mimic its battery-powered lash-lengthening and defining tricks by pressing your own mascara wand against the base of your lashes for a few extra seconds, then jiggling the brush back and forth as you draw it out to the tips. And always curl lashes first. "I'm shocked how many women don't take advantage of this eye-opening, younger-in-a-snap tool," says Freedman.

Pete Peterson, Candidate for California Secretary of State
In California, the Secretary of State office is the first person you see when opening a new business and the last person you see when the lights go off and the doors are closed—the sight isn't pretty. The registration process for businesses in California is one of the worst in the country. In fact, many California businesses register in nearby states such as Nevada and Texas while they wait for the California registration to come through just so they can open a bank account. With one of the worst unemployment rates in the country, make it easier and cheaper to start a business here in California.

Artist, Activist and Storyteller, Paul Richmond
in LGBT
Paul Richmond is an artist, activist, and storyteller. His work often incorporates elements of pop culture, politics, and his own experiences as a gay man. You can see all of his work, purchase some prints and more at http://paulrichmondstudio.com. His latest series, War Paint, explores ideas of identity and masculinity through expressive, figurative paintings of men covering their bodies with paint. He enjoys working with models who have made important or interesting contributions to LGBT culture, and he's painted everyone from Jack Mackenroth to Perez Hilton. Many of the "gaylebrity" models were a part of his Cheesecake Boys series, a gay/male spin on classic pin-up art from the 40's and 50's.
When he's not painting, he is busy with a non-profit organization that he founded with his childhood art teacher called the You Will Rise Project. Their mission to empower young people who have experienced bullying to speak out through the creation of uncensored artworks. He was bullied horribly as a kid and having a creative outlet made all the difference. He does free workshops for young people, a mentorship program connecting college artists with bullied high school students, a special project last spring called Art For Michael in support of an 11 year old boy who attempted suicide after being bullied for his love of My Little Pony, and a new social media photo campaign called #SelfieRespect. Visit: http://youwillriseproject.com.
Him and his husband are involved with the fight for marriage equality as well. They were married a year and a half ago with a group of 24 other LGBT couples who rode a bus to Washington DC and had our ceremony in front of the Supreme Court building just days before DOMA was repealed.

Swimming in the Daylight: An American Student, a Soviet-Jewish Dissident, and the Gift of Hope:
In September 1984, Lisa Paul, an American college student living in Moscow and working as a nanny, enters Inna Meiman's house for her first Russian language lesson. And so begins a two year friendship and fight for Inna's life. Swimming in the Daylight chronicles Inna's struggle to shed her refusnik status and to be granted a visa to travel to America, seeking medical treatment for the cancer that is slowly killing her.
Inna reveals an indomitable spirit as she endures a perverse reality as a citizen of the Soviet Union—she must deny invitations from countries in the West to receive life-saving cancer treatment due to her inability to receive a visa from her own government. This refusal, Inna explains to Lisa, is the Soviet authorities' way of persecuting her and her husband Naum, a member of the Moscow Helsinki Watch Group fighting for human rights in the USSR. Spurred by outrage and the desire to help her friend, Lisa returns to the United States, vowing to do all she can to get Inna out of Moscow. Lisa stages a hunger strike, holds a press conference, and galvanizes American politicians to fight for Inna's freedom. All these efforts eventually succeed in pursuing Mikhail Gorbachev to issue Inna a visa in December 1986, and she finally steps foot on American soil. At a time when international strife seems insurmountable and worries at home seem to paralyze, this story will teach people everywhere that it is the courage inside that defines a person and can change the future.

Ofcom boss warns of low interest in 'superfast' broadband
Killer apps are _so_ last century
This guy is talking about a commodity / utility (internet access), yet he is trying to fit its use in non-utility terms. Ones more suited to buying small electronic devices: iPods/Pads or the like.
Nobody talks about electricity supply in terms of a "killer app" (maybe we should all install aluminum smelters in our gardens) to drive consumption, or that food requires a "killer app" to make us eat more/less/healthily - though I suppose cooking or fire could be classed in those terms, but that makes it all sound a bit stone-age.
What is more likely is that increased bandwidth is an enabling technology. Once people have the means to stream 100MBit/s into their house, then we'll start to see software or hardware that either can use, or needs, streams of this size - or not. If those appliances turn out to be popular, they'll create demand outside the early-adopter group. However increased bandwidth on its own, like increased car ownership, is not necessarily a good thing. It's the benefits that this increase brings (and possibly the costs and problems it causes) which will define how far it goes.

Americans' right to hang fake balls on trucks left dangling
Re: what is the thought process?
Disk prices double after flood - and could 'double again'
Spec you later
We've seen earlier examples of natural disasters leading to component shortages. (Anyone remember many years ago when RAM prices shot up?). The good news is that shortages don't last, and when they do resolve, it usually leads to a glut from overproduction, when all the manufacturers respond to the high prices by increasing production.
However, these days shortages are also prime targets for speculators to make a quick wad. Sadly, by doing so they exacerbate the problem by buying up the scarce commodity, even though they have no intention of using it themselves. We also see bona-fide manufacturers placing multiple orders, as they realise that they will be rationed. So instead of simply ordering the 10,000 pieces they will expect to need, they order 20,000 in the knowledge that the suppliers will ration sales and only partly fulfill the orders they get.
Of course in the mean time, it's a brilliant excuse for retailers to jack up the price of techy toys, just in time for christmas.
Beeb measures Blighty in doormats
Groan! internet researchers
> Some people still think a billion is a ....
Only if you rely on a superficial bout of Googling and swallow the first definition you stumble across. In the UK a billion has universally and unambiguously meant 10**9 since the 1970's. So no, there aren't any "some people" any more (and probably haven't been any for decades), just like there aren't "some people who think" .. Britain still uses pounds, shillings and pence.

My PDA (Dell x50v) is like that. Just press the button and the screen pops on instantly - ready for work. It's hardly noteworthy and it's definitely not new or novel.
In fact, if memory serves, the old CP/M systems I was working with in the early 80's would boot up about as fast as a modern day windows box. Though I did have to go to the trouble of swapping floppies during the startup.
Hague: Web risks turning into city of ghettos
The best thing (any) government can do for the internet
> getting governments and businesses to agree on how to promote and protect the internet
is to stop interfering with it. The one thing it will never need is their "protection".
He goes on to say "Nothing would be more fatal or self-defeating than the heavy hand of state control ..." which sounds to me like the same tone used to say "My esteemed colleague has my full support and backing" ... just before the knives go in. Presumably "fatal" and "self-defeating" are government newspeak for "desirable" and "best for us".
You just know that the more these lying 'stards say to promote internet (or any other) freedoms, the less they mean it and that it's merely mendacious claptrap while they work out how to control, restrict and tax it.
BBC iPlayer to require TV licence
How will they catch people?
It's difficult to see who is the "criminal" here. If I was suitably fondled-up and lent my slab to "a friend" who happened not to have a TV licence, am I at fault? If so, then by extension does that mean the friend wouldn't be allowed round to my house to watch my TV, too? If it's their fault, then any licence-less passer-by who happens to look over the shoulder of a slab-watcher becomes a crim? Or (worse) does the mere act of owning a mobile-content capable device, but no TV licence, now make you a suspect - irrespective of if you ever wanted to watch mobile TV.
Either way, given that a lot of iplayer content is watched on the hoof, will we have to have iplayer-police stationed on every street corner, checking the credentials of anyone who happens to be staring at their mobile device while going about their business.
ASUS: 'We run out of hard disks at the end of the month'
Is this when SSDs take over?
With the end-user price of HDDs getting close to double what it was a couple of weeks ago, presumably a lot more people are viewing SSDs more favourably. Whether for cost reasons or simply 'cos HD lead-times are increasing (as will SSDs as demand ramps up).
Hopefully the increased demand for SSDs will drop the price as more suppliers increase production - or accelerate their plans for expansion - which will make them even more attractive, and HDs less so.
So when the HD makers do get round to drying out their factories, they could find that a lot of their lower-end devices have lost the market and that the only people wanting HDs in the future will be after the BIGGUNS: 1TB and up - even though it's a hard task to fill one of those puppies, unless you have an impressively sized "video" collection.
Although people scoff at small HDs it could be that they find the sizes of SSDs are more than adequate for their lappies, fondlies and desktops and when they get used to the speed of SSDs they'll be unwilling to go back to "slow old" spinning storage.

And here was me thinking that all of todays fashionable monsters (vampires, zombies, ghosts, ghouls and all the other various forms of the undead) were simply the result of needing a form of non-specific baddie that didn't offend any particular race, religion, gender, physical or mental disability group. But most of all were cheap and quick to slap together, didn't qualify for the extra pay of spoken parts, needed next to no theatrical skills nor any special film set adaptations as THEY'RE JUST ACTORS IN RAGS AND MAKEUP.
'Want to be more secure? Don't be stupid' redux
IT needs to get away from quick wins
> someone administering security to actually keep their job
It's not down to the "someone" to ensure this happens. It's down to whoever controls that "someone"'s work schedule. The person who says to the project manager "No, we can't build your test environments this week, we have pressing security updates that MUST be installed". Or who says to the CFO "Cutting the headcount is not an option as we then can't keep our security measures up to date in a timely manner."
The point being that too many non-IT people are allowed to put too much pressure on the "someone" to do IMMEDIATE work rather than IMPORTANT work for their narrow goals. Once you can resolve that conflict there is the possibility that "someone" will be able to keep their IT security tight. Though there's nothing they can do to prevent all the other security lapses in the organisation

BT gets 14 days to block Newzbin2
> Websites and IP addresses will become unreachable for the first time in the UK for copyright reasons.
There have been other sites blocked from the tender eyes of UK surfers for other reasons. ISTR the New York Times (or somesuch) was blocked so that we couldn't read all the secret information that the above book revealed - although it was perfectly alright for the rest of the world to know it. I also seem to recall that the workarounds to let people read the blocked content were published and widely circulated within hours of the measures coming into effect.
I am in little doubt that this judgment will be enforced with the same level of efficacy.

Top general warns of cyberspy menace to UK biz
Old problem, new look
Industrial espionage is as old as, well, industry. The fact that a lot of it is now done via the internet instead of the old-fashioned way doesn't make this a brand new threat (or one that could be countered simply by improving internet security). If companies tightened up their electronic systems that would provide some benefit - but isn't it likely that the baddies would just go back to their old ways: bribing employees, blackmailing staff, sneaking in dressed as cleaners or just employing some disaffected brainiacs who carry all the relevant knowledge in their heads?
Anyhow, stealing other peoples' secrets is a two-way affair. It would surprise no-one to discover that british (or any other country's) firms were also engaging in such pursuits and reaping the benefits of their work, too.
Linehan turns IT Crowd off but NOT on again
Re: Overblown sense of entitlement, much?
Au contraire
I watched an episode once and didn't care for it - though I appreciate other people do like it. My beef is not with that particular show coming to an end - I don't care one way or another. It just bugs me that writers like this can turn away work that affects not only themselves, but fans, actors and all the other people involved in making the show. Even stranger, that the production company doesn't just say "OK, cheerio then. *Ding* will the next writer please assume the position and carry on where the last one *(what was his name?) left off."
Apropos creativity: Hmmm, *if* each episode was new, original, thoughtful and/or funny I may well have become a fan. As it is, there didn't seem like much creativity needed, just the ability to knock out a screenplay at roughly one page per minute of run-time. The guy's not exactly Douglas Adams, is he?

If the show is still making money and people are prepared to finance future series, anyone with any professional integrity would feel honour bound to give it their best shot, not say "but I'm bored .... I wanna do something else" <sound of rattle being banged on high-chair's tray>
That does seem to be an issue with the television industry and particularly british TV production. The creative types don't seem to have the discipline to approach things as if they were a job: do work, get paid. Instead, it all seems to have to be "fun".
Bloody artists.
Too much information
Raise the drawbridge, get stuff done!
The best way to deal with email is to ignore it.
Maybe read the ones from your boss, provided they weren't sent to everyone (and your boss's boss with the same proviso). Apart from that, if it's important the emailer will phone you, or come to see you to ask why you never pick up your voicemail - which brings me on to the next stage.
There are only two times of the day to read email: soon after you've got in (and had your beverage du matin) and some point shortly after lunch. Never, ever open your email within an hour of knocking-off time or you may be staying at the orifice later than you expected. It's been my observation that people who are continually glued to their email don't really have anything better to do with their days - and spend most of them sending emails to others in the same situation. Don't get drawn in to this sticky web.
Unless your job description specifically says that you are employed to deal with emailed inquiries it's a reasonable bet that most of anything you get from outside your chain of command is either irrelevant or asking you to do something that you won't get recognition (or a cost code) for. So you'll end up doing someone else's job but on your own time.
So far as sending email goes: don't. The only two reasons for emailing someone is as a CYA or to avoid phoning them. If you email someone, they're quite likely to reply. If they reply, they'll almost certainly require you to do some extra work that is not in your interest or immediate set of goals.
Can the iPad save newspapers?
Felt tip marker and a bottle of tippex?
Can't go soon enough
Hopefully when physical newspapers do die, their political clout will die with them. While the online "name" will still provide an outlet for foreign owners to rant on about how they think our country should be run, a little iPad screen doesn't have anything like the gravitas of a broadsheet.
Plus, you can't swat flies with a fondleslab. (Is there an app for that?)

BSkyB earns more dosh out of fewer new punters
Good plan
> greater average number of products taken by our customers
Show crappier programmes and more repeats on the basic package. Put all the "good"[1] content on the premium services. Persuade people that they really should be paying to watch BBC and ITV in HD - instead of getting it for free via terrestrial broadcasts. Finally push 3D TV like it's going out of fashion .... oh hang on, it is.
[1] Here "good" means slightly less awful, with not quite so many repeats
Connected TV watched in 42m homes
This is what happened to "Linux on the desktop"
It became Linux on the TV.
You have a box at home. Connected to it is a screen, internet connection, plug-in external storage and a plug-in disk (or disc) reader. It contains an operating system and takes forever (OK, 15 seconds - about as long as a valve'd TV, plus ca change!) to start up. If you like you can download patches and upgrades for it.
So what is it? It says "TV" on the box, but nmap -O reports it's running Linux 2.6.X
Maybe we should stop worrying too much about labels and realise that very soon the house TV will be capable of hosting your word-processing apps, maybe even talking to a printer and giving you video Skype when you least expect it. Then, if things go according to plan your granny's worst nightmare can at last come true: that since she can see the presenters on TV programmes, they'll be able to see her, too.

Survey: '4 million' Brits stung by ID theft
Not really a crime
If ID theft is such a big concern that the cops need to spend a week trying to prevent it, why won't they ever issue a crime number when you try to report it? Shrugging their metaphorical shoulders and fobbing you off with the line that you should report it to your bank instead.
If the name's not on the whitelist it can't come in
Companies have implicit whitelists
Since this is about corporate behaviour, not home users, the whole thing about users downloading stuff onto the company's machines should be moot. Users simply shouldn't be installing anything and anything that does get installed should come by way of the IT dept (isn't that one of their primary functions? or am I being old-fashioned?) and be on their list of approved applications and be sourced from themselves and ONLY from them.
So for companies, they already have a list of apps they are happy for users to use. Ones they can support, that they know will play nice with the other apps and that have been properly acquired through a legal channel.
Again, we're not talking about home users here so "drive-by download sites" simply should not be an issue (and aren't that hard for the compliance people to spot - you DO scan machines for unlicensed softs, don't you?). So I'd expect that any company that is doing their IT even half-right already operates a white-list, although they probably don't call it that. Not after the political officer has had a word, anyway.
WHSmith launches e-book reader rivals to Amazon Kindle
Tiny, tiny, tiny screen
Take a sheet of A4 and fold it in half twice - so it's down to A6 size. The 6-inch screen on this thing is smaller than that! It's basically the size of a a Post-It note and a little over half the area of an average paperback.
While it "fits in your pocket easily" it sounds like it's much more likely to slide down the crack in the sofa and be lost forever. Personally, I'll hold out for a tablet/reader/thingy that's A4 sized and preferably flexible. Tthough I will probably be waiting a long time, I don't mind, it's not really that important.
Dutch ISP calls the cops after Spamhaus blacklists it
Comparing Spamhaus to credit scoring agencies
While both can (disingenuously) claim "we don't block your email/credit" they are both responsible for sourcing the information that does. With credit rating companies, we all have a right to access the information they hold about us and have it corrected if it's wrong. With Spamhous we have no rights, no means of getting incorrect information put right and we aren't even judged on our own behaviour.
In human rights terms collective punishments are illegal. You cannot punish a group of people for the wrongdoings of one, whom you suspect of being in that group. Yet this is precisely what happens with Spamhous. What's worse is that you, as an individual, have no rights to have information that Spamhous publish about the IP address you are using updated. While you could argue that with dynamic IP allocation it's not practical, that doesn't excuse the behaviour, which is simply a poor implementation which addresses the wrong problem.
One in 10 Brits leaves web passwords in their will
And we're told to not write down our passwords ???
Surely a far more practical solution (rather than going through the rigmarole of updating legal documents) is to simply have a postit stuck to the side of your screen with your passwords on it. Or for the ultra-security paranoid: stuck on its back!
The question then becomes, who is responsible for keeping up the subscriptions on all these wonderful, valuable e-assets? The ones who's hosting company's Ts & Cs you'd be breaking by either: giving your account details to someone else, or: accessing someone else's account.
That's even if you share the same musical/film tastes as your dear-departed. Or if all the stuff in their accounts would end up in the equivalent of a house-clearer's skip. Though would you really want to stumble across your grandparents' pr0n collection?

Seattle superhero arrested for assault
So he crashes a party ...
The video was shown as the outro on Newsnight last night. The guy came across as being somewhat pathetic. He barged in to a group of people "hanging" and started attacking them. Then he was shown being chased off by a girl in heels (the girl was wearing the heels, not the guy fantasizing about being a superhero, just to be clear)
Rather than being some sort of public benefactor, he appeared to be someone who needed therapy and treatment rather than an award.

There's no doubt that this is a marvellous achievement, when used for good (or at least: when used for personal goals and to feed wow! onto the internet). But let's fast-forward and consider what happens when a private individual has the means to add a guidance system to this - say a heat-seeking system. When does a home-project (albeit a piggin' expensive and very sophisticated one) become a Mach-3 missile - and if this guy can build one, who else could?

Here come hypervisors you can trust
A box without users
> Yet by and large, we tend to neglect the hypervisor, trusting it to just work.
That's not an unreasonable assumption, since hypervisors don't have idiot users surfing to pr0n sites on them, reading their bug-infested email, or trying to plug in some dubious thumb-drive/peripheral/phone
When you rid your IT of all of those points of weakness, it's surprising how little effort is needed to keep a box secure, bug-free and reliable.
BBC One and bureaucracy spared in Auntie cuts
Little or no change, then
> BBC2 will be all repeats now during the day
A swift perusal of their schedule shows BBC2 is only planning on showing 6 new programmes today. There were 2 this morning (seemed to be for children) and 4 later on today, starting at 17:15. As it is, that's only a little worse than BBC1 which has 10 (count em! TEN) new programmes on today. Two in peak time (20:00 and 21:00) and the rest scattered about throughout the day.
There is one, called "Pointless" that seems to sum up their programming policy quite nicely.
Ten reasons why you shouldn't buy an iPhone 5
Like water off a duck's back
I'm sure all those reasons are perfectly lovely. However if you're not planning to buy a '5 then they are meaningless (or just preaching to the choir). If you are planning to get one, none of them will persuade you otherwise.
All these reasons are far too rational. They fail to recognise the way the product is being marketed and therefore won't have any traction with the people being courted. If you can find a potential buyer who is willing and able to give you an honest answer, it probably won't be any more substantial than "BECAUSE I WANT ONE". You simply can't argue against that level of primal, unthinking desire.
If you really wanted to deter people from buying one - your best strategy would be simply to lie about it. How about starting a rumour that every '5 was tested on poor, blind, orphan, pregnant, bunny-wunnies with big sad eyes and a cute little bobble-tail?
iPhones 'excellent for doing experiments on their owners'
Nowt so queer as folk
> there are well over 100million iPhones in the world so there must be some variety in the group.
No, not really. What you have is a group who have all reacted in exactly the same way to exactly the same stimulus, i.e. they bought the product after seeing the advertisement. Even if you could conduct an experiment on all the smartphone users in all the world ("she walks into mine") you'd still only be analysing the responses of a self-selecting group.
It's not much different from all the "research" that was done on subjects during the 50s and 60s. Most of that research was applied to people who had answered "experimental subjects wanted, pays $10" advertisements posted on college notice boards. That resulted in whole fields of trick-cyclery that tried to generalise ordinary peoples' behaviour from observing 19 year-old middle-class american students.
You'd think they'd have learned from that, but apparently not ...
UK punters happy to pay £3 to top up e-wallets
Ask a londoner
A lot of people already have what is in effect an e-wallet. It's the oyster card that they use to keep the cost of travelling round the metropolis at a level somewhere between obscene and merely extortionate. If you want to know what people who actually use an electronic card to pay for goods and services would be willing to pay simply to keep money in their account, just ask anyone touching in or out. Try suggesting tho them that they should pay three quid just to top-up and then duck, sharpish, as a fist shaped reply tells you the answer.

Wanting more
So many people seem to be motivated by greed: wanting more than other people, rather than by the actual amount of stuff that everybody has. Contrary-wise, people generally tend not to be so unhappy with having nothing, provided everyone they know is in a similar predicament.
It's only when the advertisers start pointing out "you could have .... " that people start to become dissatisfied with their lot.

Boffins prove Queen ballad 'world's most catchy song'
One missing attribute
... the people judging the singers and songs must have actually heard (of) them.
Who's to say that these, all english/american-language songs contain the _world's_ most catchiest tunes? Other cultures have completely different musical scales and would presumably therefore be attuned to different musical attributes to stir their loins into battle - or football.
Given that this is just an attempt to appear "down wiv' da kidz" to try and convince them that science is "cool" I can see why they've skewed their results in such a startling manner. However, as a piece of science it does appear lacking (in the whole history of music - all the entries, ALL of them are from the past 50 years) in any sort of rigour and I really can't see how this could possibly be worthy of a PhD.
Maybe I should write up my list of top 10 favourite power ballads and submit that, so I can be known as Dr. Pete 2 - I'm sure I could come up with enough random psychobabble to convince whoever dished out this degree.

Do you think wearing on-body cameras on duty should be mandatory?
The StarChase pursuit management system uses a grille-mounted launcher and tracker tag that attached to a vehicle and sending location coordinates to dispatchers, so patrol units can pursue suspects at a safe distance.
Marv Heemeyer was a welder and muffler repair shop owner who (outraged over the outcome of a zoning dispute) armored a Komatsu D355A bulldozer with layers of steel and concrete and used it on June 4, 2004, to demolish the town hall, a former judge's home, and other buildings in Granby, Colo. After a standoff with law enforcement agencies, Heemeyer committed suicide.
Every year there are newspaper and television accounts of police officers who've made life-threatening mistakes and found themselves being dragged by automobiles. With proper training, mental preparation, and a little common sense, you can avoid many of these scenarios and take your suspects into custody without incident.
It was two days before Christmas 2004, and Sgt. Randy Wills of the Pueblo (Colo.) Police Department was a case study in sleep deprivation. It had been a busy holiday season with very little peace on earth and even less good will toward men. Wills needed rest.
As you wait at the intersection a woman zooms past you, running the red light going 50 mph, 25 miles over the speed limit. Should you drive after her?
While police pursuits are a necessary part of police work and should not be banned, officers should be aware of the potential danger and terminate pursuits when the risk of injury outweighs the benefit of catching the suspect.
It is not uncommon to hear or read a news broadcast reporting a critical injury or untimely death to an innocent bystander as a result of a police pursuit. The innocent victim may have been struck by the fleeing suspect, but it is the police department that eventually comes under fire for allowing the pursuit to continue.
High-speed pursuits are the most dangerous of all police activities for innocent citizens, regardless of the circumstances! In my example it was a rural setting at 0300 hours on a straight road with no one else around, except for the other vehicle that became an unwitting rolling roadblock for my pursuit.
Not long ago, U.S. Border Patrol agents initiated a pursuit of a vehicle operated by suspected illegal aliens through a suburban Southern California community. The vehicle failed to yield, continued at a high rate of speed, and exited the freeway with complete disregard for public safety. At the height of the high-speed chase, the vehicle drove through a crowded school zone, injuring several children and killing four people.

I came from a big company and had culture shock in a good way. Less red tape. You have access to upper management. You have the ability to help define your role. The company recently added an employee annual performance plan. We are in a growing field and the industry keeps changing. Very exciting.Cons
Because I am so rule based, it was an adjustment seeing everyone how everyone has a voice. It is humbling but effective because everyone has a perspective.Advice to ManagementAdvice

- Application Details
I applied through other source. The process took 2 weeks – interviewed at EnerPath in November 2013.Interview Details
I was interviewed by the former Controller and the interview was VERY informal. I went in to her office after waiting for her (she came in from a cigarette break) and we talked about the position. She said there would be room for growth (there is none) and that I would be overseeing the inventory (crappiest inventory "system" that could ever be put into place!). Then, she proceeded to take me around to introduce me to the staff. The interview was okay, overall.Interview Questions
