Dog-Friendly, Dog Training That WorksA better way to a better dog
Welcome to Bark Busters Australia, part of the international dog training company founded over 25 years ago. Bark Busters founders Sylvia and Danny Wilson have refined a method of dog obedience training that makes dog training easy and accessible to all. With Bark Busters, you work directly with a dog trainer in your own home using a method that takes into account the unique challenges you're facing and then fosters a positive relationship between you and your dog. This method enables you to build a lasting, emotional bond based on trust and respect, which in turn aids in overcoming past challenges with your pet. Bark Busters dog trainers focus heavily on training people, as much or more as training dogs, so that once you learn to communicate effectively with your dog, you will have the necessary tools to be an effective dog trainer and "leader of his/her pack."
Bark Busters do not use shock, electronic, choker or pronged collars

Hannah asks...This question is about:
We have an 8 month old border collie who is a happy bundle of energy. Recently we have begun training him on a few more advance commands than sit, stay, come, heel, lie down. He has got all the basics very quickly and is a very fast learner. rnMy concern is that when we try to teach him these new commands, he has started to run away and acts scared. Most of the time he will run and find a corner to hide in. This has previously never happened before. He has been very well socialised and attended a lot of puppy classes. We have done a range of things to see if we can change his fearful behaviour, we have tried different treats, trained both with and without our other dog, and even used his favorite toy (which he usually loves) but each time he just runs and hide.rnrnWould you possibly be able to give any insight as to why he has become scared all of a sudden over training?rnrnP.S, we do not use any aggressive forms of punishment, they are not yelled at if they make a mistake, and definitely not hit. He was also neutered about a month ago.

I've been playing with HTML
canvas and recently started changing the opacity of images with
context.globalAlpha. I thought it would be fun to write a little script to automatically fade an image out. On the left side of the image,
globalAlpha would be 1 (entirely opaque) and on the rightmost side
globalAlpha would be 0 (entirely transparent).
I tried taking 1-pixel wide slices of the source image and setting the
globalAlpha to a gradually decreasing number :
fadeCtx = fadeCanvas.getContext('2d');
for (var i = 0; i < sourceImage.width; i++) {
fadeCtx.globalAlpha = (sourceImage.width - i) / sourceImage.width;
fadeCtx.drawImage(sourceImage, i, 0, i + 1, sourceImage.height, i, 0, i + 1, sourceImage.height);
But this appears to have no effect. The image is drawn in place, but it is fully opaque throughout.
Am I missing something about how to set opacity? As you can see in the fiddle, I've successfully set
globalAlpha for an entire image. It's just when I try to draw "image slices" that it appears to have no effect.

South African police clash with strikers 370.
(photo credit:REUTERS)
MARIKANA, South Africa - The killing by police of 34 striking platinum
miners in the bloodiest security operation since the end of white rule
cut to the quick of South Africa's psyche on Friday, with people and the
media questioning its post-apartheid soul.Newspaper headlines
screamed "Bloodbath", "Killing Field" and "Mine Slaughter", with graphic
photographs of heavily armed white and black police officers walking
casually past the bloodied corpses of black men lying crumpled in the
dust.The images, along with Reuters television footage of a
phalanx of officers opening up with automatic weapons on a small group
of men in blankets and t-shirts, rekindled uncomfortable memories of
South Africa's racist past.After over 12 hours of official
silence, police minister Nathi Mthethwa confirmed that at least 30 men
had died when police moved in against 3,000 striking drill operators
armed with machetes and sticks and massed on a rocky outcrop at the
mine, 100 km (60 miles) northwest of Johannesburg."A lot of people were injured and the number keeps on going up," he said in an interview on Talk Radio 702.One
radio station caller likened the incident, at Lonmin's Marikana
platinum plant, to the 1960 Sharpeville township massacre near
Johannesburg, when apartheid police opened fire on a crowd of black
protesters, killing more than 50.In a front page editorial, the Sowetan
questioned what had changed since 1994, when Nelson Mandela overturned
three centuries of white domination to become South Africa's first black
president."It has happened in this country before where the
apartheid regime treated black people like objects," the paper, named
after South Africa's biggest black township, said. "It is continuing in a
different guise now."President Jacob Zuma cut short a visit to a
regional summit in neighboring Mozambique to head to the mine. Zuma,
who faces an internal leadership election in his ruling African National
Congress (ANC) in December, said he was "shocked and dismayed" at the
violence, but made no comment on the police behavior."We believe
there is enough space in our democratic order for any dispute to be
resolved through dialogue without any breaches of the law or violence,"
he said in a statement.Despite promises of a better life for all
South Africa's 50 million people, the ANC has struggled to provide
basic services to millions in poor black townships. Efforts to redress
the economic inequalities of apartheid have had mixed results.The mining sector comes in for particular criticism from radical ANC factions as a bastion of "white monopoly capital".

Ortega y Gasset wrote of those who had stepped onto the stage of history and did not belong there. Vertical invaders he called them. Those who had come up from below. Cowboy capitalists and tinhorn dictators who elbowed the nobility, church and founding fathers aside. In Peter Pistanek's version, the peasant from the countryside, traditionally a slow-witted man of many virtues who slyly outwits city slickers (the revenge of the countryside against the metropolis), becomes Racz, a tsunami, who wipes out everything in his path. The nastiest rat in the shithouse1. Naomi Klein's Shock Doctrine writ large. Pistanek blasts away images of Slovaks plowing fields, eating goulash, playing accordions, going to church as First World images, tour bus vistas.
Racz has come to Bratislava to make money so that he can be a suitable suitor for the woman from his village he loves. He gets work as the stoker in the Hotel Ambassador, one of the most prestigious hotels in Bratislava, and in his single-mindedness soon discovers that he can take advantage of his position. People will pay to have the heat on and, in short, Racz learns that he who puts the heat on can control things. He rises quickly from stoker in the Ambassador to its owner and much else. Those who oppose him (small-time money changers, former secret police, professional classes) knuckle under while those whose dreams have foundered in the new world order have to make do or become, like academics, increasingly irrelevant.
"They all believe that they're better than they seem at first sight," a Swede, Hurensson, who has come to Bratislava for the sex trade, notes. "The young hustler and unlicensed taxi driver thinks he is an artist. [He becomes a money-changer and pornographer.] The blonde whore never fails to stress that she was originally a ballet dancer. The stooped porter with spidery bony fingers who takes your bags turns out to have been at one time a lecturer at the evening university, now closed, of Marxism-Leninism. He was a philosopher, or so he says. Whatever they do now is only temporary, done out of necessity. The cafe waitress is miserable; no doubt, she originally planned to be an actress. She finds it degrading to serve Hurensson coffee….They could have given the world some of the most brilliant artists, ballet dancers, and scientists – at least that's what they claim. Why didn't they – that's the question?"
"You are nothing unless you have everything," Greil Marcus writes. "Both Thatcher and Reagan promised everything to anyone with the grace to leave the damned behind," he adds. If you are not from the First World, however, your everything can never be more than parody (the Eastern Europe syndrome). Racz learns how to use a knife and fork, how to dress, read and go to the opera. He marries a college girl interested in art (she takes him to museums) and lives in a villa with the folks on the hill. He has put his village behind him. It is, if you will, how civilization assimilates those who have risen in its ranks, but to those already there, Racz is still a vertical invader who does not belong. Racz remains Racz.
Just after Racz's arrival in Bratislava, a woman suffers a nervous breakdown at a tram stop in front of the Hotel Ambassador and begins to strip. "The crowd consists of people all as exhausted, nervous and unhappy as she. Their psychology, however, can cope better with the morning heat. ....Whistles, sarcasms and disparaging comments are heard….The passengers at the tram stop stay excited long after the police car leaves. The extraordinary situation has brought them together, just as a calamity to be overcome brings people together….The latest people have no idea what's just happened. For them the woman's high-heel shoe discarded near the rubbish bin has a different symbolic value. The plot's been lost." The plot has not been lost. The heat is on Slovakia. The Bride Stripped Bare by her Bachelors2. Breakdown threatens.
The title of Pistanek's novel (in English in the Slovak edition) refers to Boney M's hit of 1978. Pistanek himself has been a drummer in a rock band and attended the Bratislava Academy of Performing Arts but did not finish. Only from below, Pistanek suggests, can we see what blinds us, using the language of discredited forms, not those of "the supplicative voice, legitimating power" (The term is Marcus's). Joyce's shout in the street. A voice, sound.

I am sure this has been asked before, but when i do a search I get too many posts that dont match...
I am getting ready to take the plunge and will be brewing my first batch. My question is, what is a good extract kit. I started to type "best beginners kit" but I understand that everyone will have a different point of view. The commercial beers I enjoy is Sam Adam's Octoberfest, Alaskan Amber and just recently discovered Shock Tops Belgian White...
I have looked at several kits and am leaning toward True Brew kits. The directions seem pretty thorough. What does everyone think?
I would maybe skip the kit and go to the recipe section and brew one of the many outstanding recipes there, if you have a brew shop close by. Probably couldnt go wrong with something like this..http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/bee-...ale-ale-31793/
or thishttp://www.homebrewtalk.com/f66/cent...10-gall-42841/
..just a thought, my 1st and only kit was a Brewers Best that I got with my equipment, no complaints, then I found out how easy it was to adjust recipes with Beersmith (which is free for 20 days or so). Good luck
Primary 1 - Jamils Robust Porter
Primary 2 - empty
Bottled - #1 English Brown Ale, #2 Ordinary Bitter, #3 Irish Red, #4 Edwerts Pale Ale
On Deck: Obsidian Stout Clone
Go to your LHBS and get a Coopers kit in your preferred style. Do not follow the instructions. Get a fresh yeast packet if you're not a gambling type.
Ask for input from your LHBS guy on how much Extract you should add to the can.
Take it home, open your copy of How to Brew, or go to the website and follow Palmer's instructions on how to brew an extract batch.
I recommend this approach as a new kid myself because it was easy and mindless and allowed me to focus on the million other things like sanitation.
Other people will tell you other stuff.
If you have a local homebrew supply (LBHS as people have mentioned above) then it might be worth it to stop in there if this is your first brew. It's always nice to talk to an experienced person so you can get some additional help. That being said, it certainly isn't a requirement.
If you're looking for quality extract kits there are a number of good places to order online as well. Some of my favorites are Austin Homebrew Supply, Midwest, and Northern Brewer. All of their kits come with quality ingredients, are priced well, and have outstanding instructions to guide you through the process without overwhelming you.
Once you brew from a pre-made kit or two you'll have no problem at all picking up some ingredients in bulk and trying other recipes either from books or online.
It really depends on how comfortable you are with the process, because the last thing you really want to be doing is get half way through the boil only to realize you forgot to buy the right hops, yeast, etc or you didn't sanitize your bucket as the wort is getting poured in. Getting a kit is a good way to understand the process and pay attention to the procedural detail before you get into recipes, etc. That being said, the instructions in kits will provide you with very basic details and you'll discover a lot of little tricks can really improve your beer.
In that regard, you should just find a kit that matches the kind of beer you like or is a clone of a commercial beer you like.

Bulgaria Moves to Liberalize Raw Tobacco Market
The Bulgarian Parliament adopted at second reading amendments to the Tobacco and Tobacco Products Act, which allow the liberalization of the raw tobacco market in the country.
The Bulgarian Parliament adopted at second reading amendments to the Tobacco and Tobacco Products Act, which allow the liberalization of the raw tobacco market in the country.
The Sofia Regional Court began Wednesday the trial of Interior Minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, who is being sued for libel.
The Bulgarian cabinet issued Wednesday an official proposal to President, Georgi Parvanov, to release from his duties the Director of the State Agency for National Security, DANS, Tsvetlin Yovchev.
The controversial, anti-government Bulgarian weekly Galeria made public Wednesday new revelations about Interior Minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, surrounding his properties and trips abroad.
Bulgaria's President, Georgi Parvanov, demands information about the profile of people who are spied on with special surveillance devices, SRS, and the effectiveness of their use.
Bulgaria's Interior Minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, rejected information he would be replaced by the Chair of the Parliamentary Internal Affair's Committee, Anastas Anastasov.
Bulgaria's Interior Minister, Tsvetan Tsvetanov, says he worked hard to create a really good team at the Interior Ministry and would not want to part with its Chief Secretary, Kalin Georgiev.
Employees of the Bulgarian State Agency for National Security (DANS) have been paid EUR 200 000 for leaking USB ports with taped phone conversations between senior government officials, according to Bulgarian daily "24 Chasa".
Bulgaria's Consultative National Security Council will discuss vital matters in the sphere of home affairs on Tuesday.
The appointment of Interior Minister and Deputy PM Tsvetan Tsvetanov as head of the campaign headquarters of the ruling center-right party GERB is completely wrong, according to the rightist Blue Coalition.
The authority of the Bulgarian Interior Minister to sign under the use of special surveillance devices (SRS) is going to be transferred to the Chief Secretary of the Interior, who will not be mandated to notify the Minister.
The recent scandal involving leaked phone conversations of high Bulgarian officials has started with an information leak from the State National Security Agency (DANS), according to Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov.
Bulgaria's ruling center-right party GERB will not team up with partners in the upcoming local and presidential polls in the autumn and is confident of its success, the interior minister said on Sunday.
Bulgaria's ruling center-right party GERB will not lead a smear campaign, the party spokesperson Sevdalina Arnaudova said Sunday at the presentation of the entire election headquarters staff for the presidential and local elections in October 2011.
The newly established Center for Prevention of Organized Crime and Corruption (BORKOR) will cost the Bulgarian state budget BGN 2 M per year, according to the unit's head, Rumen Milanov.
Organized members of the far-right nationalist party Ataka gathered and chanted slogans at the official commemoration of the death of Bulgaria's Apostle of Freedom, Vasil Levski.
Controversial Bulgarian businessman Aleksei Petrov, who is being sued on several counts, has praised the creation and leadership of the new Bulgarian anti-corruption unit, BORKOR.
Socialists must prepare to walk out in street protests against the cabinet's incompetence, according to leader of the Bulgarian Socialist Party Sergey Stanishev.
The Central Operational Bureau of the Bulgarian ethnic Turkish party Movement for Rights and Freedoms, (DPS), has expelled from the party Kasim Dal, a former key figure in the formation.
The head of Bulgaria's national security agency, who resigned on Wednesday amid accusations about his office's performance, may be soon appointed security adviser of the prime minister.
The Central Operational Bureau of the Bulgarian ethnic Turkish party Movement for Rights and Freedoms, (DPS), is meeting Friday to decide on the faith of dissident party member Kasim Dal.

A huge open space with three to four open indoor fields, bounce houses, basketball hoops, balls, tents, and arcade games – and only $7/child (2 and under are free with a paid admission). Does this sound like fun to you and your child who've been stuck inside (I mean, c'mom, sledding and building snowmen really [...]
AEP's smartGrid – Energy and the New Year
Nothing changes lifestyles and behaviors more than the start of a new year…at least for a while, anyhow. One of the holiday conversations I had with my mom was about losing weight as one of my New Year's resolutions. I dumped it, because after being honest with myself, I decided that I needed resolutions were [...]

(This article first appeared at Forbes.com, just before the World Cup began.)
I remember the year well. Our high school had recently formed a soccer team, and a number of us who loved sports but were too small or light or slow-growing to play football were delighted to have a new fall sport. Cambridge, Mass. was a diverse city then, as it is now, and the Cambridge High & Latin team was made up mostly of kids from Greece, Italy, Brazil, Portugal, etc., but there were some of us American-born too. Our skills were raw compared to our foreign-born teammates who'd grown up dribbling with their feet not their hands, but it didn't take us long to intuitively grasp the appeal of "the beautiful game" – the simplicity, constant motion, emphasis on teamwork – without frequent interruptions for huddles (football), free throws (basketball) or waiting between pitches (baseball). Just a lovely simple fluid sport. I also distinctly remember some of our conversations. Wait till this sport catches on here. With our national talent pool of athletes and coaching, the U.S. will have really great teams. It's just a matter of time…
The year was 1967.

Yes, but does it really deserve to be on macrumors?
Maybe you don't deserve to be on MacRumors. It's like this is your website or something, and you designed, built and pay for it. I'll get you a "I survived the aftermath of the MacRumors article on UPS Mobile App Adds Barcode Scanning" T-shirt.
Can you imagine how expensive shipping would be if you had to pay for a GPS transmitter for every package you send?
Let's be realistic.
Gps for the driver, not the package.
Why is this news? Barcode scanning is nothing new...
It's new to the UPS app.
ups needs an app to gps map where my driver is with my expected package
They already have this I'm sure, just for internal purposes I bet. It will ever be given to consumers. Maybe flight status tracker since you can't get to the plane, but not for trucks.
They do have this on most of their trucks already, but yes, it's only for internal use. Their new scanners also record the GPS coordinates of where the package is dropped in case there is an issue down the road. As for flight tracking, it's very easy to match up the tracking entries with flights by going to Flight Aware, if you really have a burning desire to watch your package fly across the country (assuming it's Air). No way to track the truck trailers or trains if it's going by ground, at least from a consumer perspective.
(I'll probably appreciate it more for scanning those sticky notes from failed attempts.)
this is hardly worth any news...
this one is awesome:
They already have this I'm sure, just for internal purposes I bet. It will never be given to consumers. Maybe flight status tracker since you can't get to the plane, but not for trucks.
As a UPS driver, of course they track every move, to package placement at the moment we scan for delivery. However, if the customer could understand that they are not alone in wanting their package, it would make our life a bit easier.

Nigerian perv scanners lay Lagos ladies bare
Time for that embroidered underwear
Metallic thread embroidered strategically on to under wear prevents governments checking out your assets. I use the Canadian Maple-leaf as there are many high coverage areas. The Union Jack has more see-through areas.
When the skin-radar first came out I bought a jock strap and lined the outside of the 'cup' with thin lead film. It caused a few extra questions but I was never required to remove them for inspection. The metallic thread works just as well and is more comfortable to wear.
You could even post appropriate messages to the perverts made from this thread on the wider parts of the underwear.
Tech firms promise EU they might cut electricity use
One thing is guranteed to get results
Higher electricity rates.
Works every time.
US consumers don't want web-enabled toasters
My toaster downloaded those Bitorremts
Actually web connected appliances, especially the high-consumption units, are likely to increase as the new Time-Of-Use electricity meters will want to have discrete little chats to dishwashers, refrigerators, washing machines, clothes dryers, water heaters, etc.
Toasters, however, usually controlled by human demand, are unlikely to get connected to the web. But if you did have one you could always say it downloaded all those music and movie files.
New regulator takes over video-on-demand content supervision
More Bloody Nanny State
Surely if what passes for programming on TV these days is good enough for the airwaves, why does yet another bunch of government clowns have to be involved?
It'a time that people were allowed to set their own criteria not some faceless twit trying to justify his bloated salary.
Jailbreak hole found in Apple TV firmware
Give up Jobs, they've got your software guys beaten! Yet again.
Seems like all the hard work that Apples software monkeys do can't beat these reverse engineering specialists.
The lesson they should take from this is that almost whatever Apple, or other companies, do the determination of talented people will break the software open. Far better that Apple applied their engineering talent to solving the defects that are still unresolved in Lemon 4.
Google Voice embraced by Apple?
Jobs mellowing? Or just recognising reality?
It seems that Jobs does have an Achilles heel, government intervention.
First Japan pointed out what the world knew, his batteries were no good.
Then the Europeans explained their interpretation of 'union' and caused warranty repairs to be EU wide.
Now, Jobs is letting Google's voice application on to his Lemon! Could THIS be the answer to Antennagate - skip the GSM bit and make calls over WiFi etc?
And for an encore, how about the Wall of Job collapsing or, maybe even Flash!
NetApp and TMS involved in Virgin Blue outage
Navitaire has a solid reputation ...
in the smaller airline business and it's popularity is born out by the number of carriers using it,
Surprisingly some of the larger res systems use banks of relatively small computers to deliver what they call service. Mind you, travel agents still have to wait wait weeks for some back office services. One of the three larger res systems still diddles carrier charges and forgets to credit agencies with their full commissions.
Copper prices push cable thefts to new high
It's happening in VietNam, too
The Vietnamese, being very clever with their hands and minds, have taken this theft even further.
Our many islands are connected to the mainland by numerous under water cables. The fishermen simply go bottom trawling, snagging cables as they go.
Unfortunately being technically illiterate, they also scoop up fibre-optic InterNet cables.
Larry wants triple money back from Micron
How come Larry is getting so horny?
Seems like Oracle is trying to improve it's bottom line by getting additional cash-flow through the courts.
Kind of late to look for a refund/price reduction.
Sony Ericsson confirms Symbian spurning
One more OS fading, and another thumbs up for Android
I guess Symbian will slowly fade away until even Nokia can read the writing on the wall.
It makes one wonder why why HTC is even bothering to make a Win 7 handset. Not many other takers for this MS OS, which was late to market.
ICO lets police maintain ANPR location secrecy
One branch of government covering another's a*se
This sort of activity causes the government to be held in contempt, as well as the police and the ICO.
It simply highlights that the police think they are above the law and the ICO is confirming it.
Nortel flogs switch biz to Ericsson
Nortel has sold its multi-service switching business to Ericsson for $65m.
This is less than one of their big switches in downtown Toronto.
Another page of history in the garbage.
Sony Ericsson screens wireless display for phones
Dick Tracy, James Bond and Maxwell Smart all had ...
self-contained wrist communicators. This device is more like an earpiece - needs the telephone.
I wonder what joker dreamt up the idea of clipping one to a web strap - snatch thieves dream come true. Even this wrist version is at risk of theft.
Samsung has better dreams - see: < http://www.walyou.com/blog/2010/04/19/samsung-oled-wrist-communicator-concept/ >.
Maybe this would be the answer to Jobs Grip of Death?
Feds want backdoors built into VoIP and email
Obama/Binen worse than Cheney/Bush for privacy invasion
This was the administration had the temerity to condemn the UAE's ban on Blackberries on the ground that it impedes "the free flow of information."
Have a read of both < http://www.nytimes.com/2010/09/27/us/27wiretap.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1&hp > and < http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2010/09/26/AR2010092603941.html?hpid=topnews >.
As well the Obama administration wants to require U.S. banks to report ALL electronic money transfers into and out of the country, a dramatic expansion in efforts to counter 'terrorist' financing and money laundering." Whereas banks are now required to report all such transactions over $10,000 or which are otherwise suspicious.
The new rule would require banks to disclose even the smallest transfers.
I believe government's need to show some evidence of criminality before they are granted unfettered access to the private affairs of every individual or entity that dares to conduct financial transactions.
And don't feel too smug in the UK, governments think alike.
It's time to take pro-active steps to make these characters work harder.
The ONLY good thing is that increasing government surveillance is actually counter-productive, as it swamps the governments with more data than it can possibly process and manage. Which is why the Detroit would-be bomber from Nigeria actually entered the US WITH A BLOODY VISA.
The true value of requiring back-door access for all InterNet communications is if you want to sift through communications in bulk, it's only going to be feasible with a backdoors.
Remeber Francis Bacon's observation that "knowledge is power"
French cops take down mobile phone hacking ring

Obviously someone's audit systems are very lax.
No wonder cell co's charge so much, they have to, with this sort of uncontrolled fraud - or could it be they make so much money they didn't notice thee losses?
Keene USB FM Transmitter
Would-be private broadcasters station in a package
All those would-be pirate broadcasters could hang a suitably sized wire on this device and have themselves a low power station! Ofcom's nightmares realised!
More seriously these would be handy for playing language courses or other computer-bound sound files to play through a sound systems without all those interconnecting wires.
OpenOffice files Oracle divorce papers
Oracle policies like Apples, demented CEO's rule
This decision is a wise one given that Oracles policies seem to change on the whim of one man, much as Apples do.
With this instability it is hard to do business with these types of personality without catering to the personalities various mindsets.
Nuclear merchant ships could open up Arctic routes for real
Ahem: Before building a ship you better have a word with ...
Canada, since the navigable, although iced in sea routes, traverse Canada's territorial water.

Welsh hospitals to allow mobile use
A pox on PatientLine
When my Mother was dying I tried calling the Patientline number at the hospital but could not get connected.
Eventually, I reached the nurses station for her ward only to be told she had died ... minutes earlier.
All incoming hospital calls should be free of charge and be sufficient to handle calls.
Patientline is yet another leach on society.
US Navy says electric jet-flinger tech looking good
Maglev: Devised by Americans; implimented by Germany and perfected by China
The Maglev principle was devised in the early 1900's by two Americans, Emile Bachelet and Robert Goddard. By the 1930's the challenge was being tackled by Hermann Kemper who demonstrated the use of magnetic fields to produce the advantages of trains with aircraft features.
For some odd reason, in 1968, Americans James R. Powell and Gordon T. Danby were granted a patent for a magnetic levitation train but I guess Kemper was history by then.
Research and development programs have been conducted by Great Britain, Canada, Germany and Japan into Maglev technology.
German Maglev technology is now speeding passengers between ShangHai Airport and downtown and further installations are planned by China.
The US might realise huge savings by having China do the development of this launch device since it is, essentially, just a short run, high energy Maglev system.
The US Military/Industrial complex only knows how to build things at monstrous cost with not always successful conclusions.
Perhaps they could develope a gun using the same principle so the RN could shoot anything to hand as long as it fit a barrel. A very Green solution.
HP purges Cisco gear from data centers
Seems kind of petty ...
but given the way HP is being run these days, I guess anything is unlikely to cause surprise.
Customers paying more and putting up with mobes for longer
The American market is unlike others
This survey is applicable to a single market, may be even Canada but it/they are distinctly different to markets in other parts of the world.
In my country of residence we can buy a promo SIM. Every month I buy a promo SIM for £1.62, get £5.19 total credit, and then I add £5 onto it, and I can use unlimited InterNet on a USB GSM modem. Great deal!
I dupe the SIM and can use multiple devices although only one at a time (no concurrency). All our cell devices are unlocked at sale - it's the law!
Apple escapes competition charges
At least Jobs knows when to bend over
Slowly American business is learning the meaning of 'union' as interpreted in Europe.
It's good that the EU is making people play by it's rules and will no doubt be used as aa precedent in other 'unions' around the world.
Anti-piracy lawyers' email database leaked after hack
Maybe the big-mouthed lawyers partners will ...
convene a meeting to develope a new communications policy that circumvents provocative statements.
Guess this loser-lawyer failed the court hearing part of his course on how to induce juries and judges to buy his theory.
Sharp outs little'n'large e-mag tablets
Memory, interconnection & OS will determine the winner
Given that pads are minimalist computers the add-on memory capability, connectors and interconnection become increasingly important. Sound is a good accessory.
The OS will also be a determinant due to the App availability.
Don't buy yet, many more about to flood the market!
Coders tip Google Android for eclipse of the Steve
Apps will be the determinant
The company I work for has now been working on pad replacements for some existing Human Interface applications and iOS and Android pads were purchased.
Without a doubt the ability to create our own applications, and retain control of them, has persuaded us to follow the Android course.
Apples decision to govern what their pads can run means we cannot use our application unless: (a) it becomes public or (b) we jail-break Apple products.
Since we want to use standard off-the-shelf products our choices are being determined by manufacturer policies.
I believe, eventually, this and App availability will determine the dominating OS and, at present, that appears to favour Android.
Sex Party proposes new classification system for Oz
This interesting proposal deserves serious consideration
I always considered the connection between nakedness and sex crimes somewhat tenuous and that Blair and Browns criminalisation of viewing, storage, whatever was a step too far.
If viewing/ownership of pictures of naked bodies was illegal years ago most of those in private, fee-paying schools ('public' in British parlance) would be in jail. I remember dog-eared books of naked bodies doing the rounds in the dormitories when I was at Dauntsey's School in Wiltshire and most of the students turned out to be a fairly decent cross-section of society.
Pictures od child abuse in any form should, naturally fall outside the protection of the law but should NOT be linked to a sex offender claim.
Moms stand firm against antenna madness
This reminds me of the old Amateur Radio antenna arguement ...
in the States.
Since transmitters are licenced by the Federal government they are pretty tough to change as the senior government prevails over junior state and town legislation.. I think similar situations can be found in many countries.
419ers take council for £100k

Gordon Brown dumped British gold at a low market point. If he had waited a few months ... with gold at $1,300+ these days!
Twitter joke appeal adjourned
"Come friendly bombs and fall on Slough"
What a great idea! Ground zero should be that miserable bus station I used en route to/from Heathrow when I used it years ago.
Can I push the bomb release?
Apple now world's second-largest company
The pod connector ia NOT an international standard
Just because Apple makes a lot of pod connectors which are of relative poor quality does not make it a 'standard'.
A 'standard' connector, such as Molex type, D-connectors, the North American 25-pair telephone connector, etc. are royalty free. Apple milks anyone who uses their connectors.
Apple had a magnetic 'safety' connector which they copied from Japanese rice cooker manufacturers. The difference? The Japanese version worked for hundreds of millions of cookers whilst the Apple version had problems.
The 3-pin connector commonly found on the PSU's of PC power supplies was designed by HP who donated it's exclusivity to make a real standard connector found throughout the world.
'Standard' connectors have to meet stiff criteria which Apple products can't always meet. Witness their burned connectors.
Facebook blames outage on internal config flaw
A lot of people are happy not to have Facebook ...
in China,
Tibet and VietNam!
Apple in 873-page legal claim to word 'Pod'
Where's the problem?
Any word in any dictionary on the date of a claim should fail automatically.
This would protect words like Exxon, Taligent, Enron easily whilst Jobs can have his iPod but not prevent anyone else incorporating the word 'pod' into their products.
The problem is unique to the American legal system and obviously requires updating.
School caretaker jailed for fitting up colleague
Guess the Plod doesn't like the competition
This guy was in the wrong business, he should have joined the Plod.
The problem with British justice is the 'justice' part - too many nobodies on the lowest echelons making appeal business for the higher courts. Too many judges accept evidence from the Plod without questioning it's validity.
Tribunal orders DWP to release IT contract details
Blair/Brown getting too close to favoured vendors
All government contracts should be published at the Request For Tender AND post award stages so that others can determine if the award was on merits or because of 'connections'.
CIA used 'illegal, inaccurate code to target kill drones'
Two faced US Government defender of Hollywood rights used palgerised software
It is surprising that the biggest proponent of enhanced action against those distributing Hollywood films on-line is guilty of using copied/plagerised software.
Another example of US government hypocrisy.
The CIA was also a big player in bringing drugs north from Mexico whilst the DEA was busy fighting the trade. Some morals.
Blockbuster winds itself into Chapter 11
Another victim of the Digital Age?
Blockbuster didn't keep it's eye on the ball and follow technologies leading edge.Other outfits seized the opportunity whilst Blockbuster just watched it's market shrink.
Just imagine if more countries had streaming capability - their demise would have arrived earlier.
Mailed disks aren't really the answer, they can't satisfy 'spur of the moment' movie viewing.
Vacuum-wielding thieves siphon €500,000 from store safes

EU Parliament calls for pan-EU copyright law

He must be joking.
No one needs Blu-ray, says Microsoft exec
"We offer full HD 1080p Blu-ray quality streaming instantly, no download, no delay."
This navel gazing MS type obviously live in BT's rural areas.
I like my movies to run in one continuous flow, not in short snatches interrupted by spinning thingies on my screen.
If I have to download I use PirateBay.
SwiftKey offers alternative for Android typists
I hate those auto-completions
As someone who uses technical languages as well as foreign languages, the damn auto complete is something that needs a DESELECT option.
Swype is a very effective application otherwise, though.
Google's Microsoft browser outlives Wave nonsense
I can't see anyone using ...
MS InterNet Browser when there are so many other, advanced browsers. It seems that MS is always playing the 'me too' game, duplicating winning features of competitive software.
I routinely use 4 browsers choosing the most appropriate one for my work needs and although I have tried IE on occasion, other browsers have always prevailed..
US forces drop dead drug-poison killer mice from helicopters
Should the plan prove successful translates as 'if'

This Sunday afternoon, the New York Red Bulls host the first leg of their semifinal series against the New England Revolution at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey. With winter rearing its ugly head throughout the northeast, fans might be worried about the conditions on game day, when sitting outdoors for a few hours is not a particularly pleasant experience. But the weather is not only a matter of concern when the players take the field. For the field to be in perfect condition by that time it takes constant maintenance. During the season, the daily forecast is of utmost importance and no one knows that better than the professional groundskeeper.
by Paul Swaney - Nov 21, 2014 9:58 AM EST
Major League Soccer saw average attendance in 2014 reach an all-time high, with more than 19,000 attending each match on average. You should expect that number to continue to grow with the folding of Chivas USA during the 2014 season, and the addition of New York City FC and Orlando City SC in 2015. Most important for stadium travel enthusiasts though, is that the experience of attending an MLS game continues to get better. This should also improve as the San Jose Earthquakes will move into their new home, Avaya Stadium, next season. It truly is a great time to be a soccer fan in the United States and Canada.
This season, the correspondents of Stadium Journey re-reviewed 11 of the 18 venues in MLS. Next season we'll continue our coverage by visiting the two expansion franchises as well as the seven we didn't see in 2014. We compile our rankings of stadium experience based on the components of our FANFARE rating scale which takes into account the food & beverage in the stadium, the overall atmosphere, the neighborhood where the stadium is located, the fans, access (which includes parking, traffic, ability to move within the stadium, and restrooms), the overall return on investment (is it worth the price?), and one catchall category for anything unique about the stadium experience. We utilize the ratings of our readers and members as our primary tiebreaker, and we encourage you to share your experiences and rate the venues you have visited.

On November 19, 2014 the San Jose Earthquakes announced a partnership with Santa Clara based company Avaya for the naming rights of their new stadium in San Jose. Three years after the project began, the $100 million soccer-specific stadium will open in time for the 2015 Major League Soccer Stadium, replacing their previous home Buck Shaw Stadium.

Fedora 20's Anaconda installer, hands on
Summary: A screen-shot walk-through of the excellent Fedora Linux 20 installer - and why I love it.
7 of 16Image
Anaconda Installation Destination
This is the Installation Destination (disk selection) screen. Note that it shows two disks, the hard drive in the computer and the USB stick I am installing from. I have selected the 500GB hard drive as the target. At the bottom of the screen there is a link for Full disk summary and bootloader that you can click if you want to do special things with the bootloader installation. At this point you only specify the target disk(s) for the installation, when you are Done here, the next screen will get more details about this.
Anaconda Disk Options
This is the Disk Options screen - you can specify the filesystem type and decide whether you want to accept the default partitioning or you want to manually specify the partitioning. The defaults are perfectly reasonable. If you don't know any better, or you don't care, or you just want to the installation done in the quickest, easiest and most reliable fashion, just click Done to accept the defaults. The default filesystem type is LVM, but you can change that easily on the drop-down menu in the middle of the page. Until now I have always used ext4 filesystems, but starting with this release I am going to use BTRFS. If you want to manually specify or adjust the partitioning, you can choose that option here as well.
Anaconda Disk Partitioning
This is the Manual Disk Partitioning screen. Please excuse the fact that I am installing this on one of my test systems which already has a variety of Linux distributions on it, in addition to Windows 8.
If you are installing on a "normal" system, you would see only two lines here, the top one for New Fedora 20 Installation and the bottom one for Unknown (that is where anaconda lumps everything else, such as Windows, Recovery Boot and whatever other miscellaneous partitions are on your disk.
The important thing to remember here is that this screen can be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it. The simplest thing to do here is to click Create them Automatically, and anaconda will do what is necessary and then show you what it did so you can approve or edit it. I want to have a lot more control or where and how things are installed on my disks, so I set up all of the partitions manually. You can choose either of those extremes, or something in between.
I want to say a few more words about the presentation on this screen, too. Every other Linux distribution I am familiar with (and every other disk utility I am familiar with, for that matter) presents you with a view of the disk which corresponds to the physical layout of the disk partitions.
That is a more or less linear view showing sda1, sda2, sda3 and so on. But the thing that the Anaconda developers have realised here that is so absolutely brilliant is that a linear view of the disk is not really very useful in understanding how the disk is actually organised and used.
This was already true about MBR partitioned disks, especially if they used an Extended Partition which contained multiple Logical Partitions, and it is even more true of GPT partitioned disks and UEFI BIOS systems.
What Anaconda is showing you is the logical layout of the disk, which is much more useful at this point than the physical layout.
The system I am using here happens to be UEFI BIOS, so it has a separate EFI Boot partition which is shared by all of the different operating systems I have loaded (but doesn't necessarily have to be shared, there could be separate ones), and because there are other Linux distributions installed it already has a Linux swap partition which I will also want to share. A physical view of the disk would just show that those various parititions, but this logical view shows how they are grouped and used, and that can be extremely useful.

Obamacare Architect Leaves White House for Pharmaceutical Industry Job

This is precisely the behavior which, quite rationally, makes the citizenry so jaded about Washington. It's what ensures that the interests of the same permanent power factions are served regardless of election outcomes. It's what makes a complete mockery out claims of democracy. And it's what demonstrates that corporatism and oligarchy are the dominant forms of government in the US:

BRISBANE Heat captain James Hopes has not ruled himself out of playing in Saturday's BBL final.
The Heat qualified for the decider by scoring a surprise 15-run victory over the top-of-the-table Melbourne Renegades on Tuesday night, but Hopes was a late withdrawal after "tweaking" his hamstring in the warm-up.
The skipper had tossed the coin and was bowling some 'looseners' alongside the Etihad Stadium wicket when he slipped on the wet grass.
After consultation with team physio Martin Love, it was decided to take the cautious approach and miss the game.
After an hour-long session with Love, the all-rounder said he couldn't put a figure on his chances of playing in the final, but added, "I haven't come this far not to be involved".
While the rest of the squad stayed in Melbourne for a gym session and fielding practice, bowling hero Ben Cutting took an early flight back to Brisbane to spend time with the Australian one-day team ahead of today's third ODI against Sri Lanka at the Gabba.
Cutting, a star against the Renegades with 3-25 from four overs, is on standby for fast bowlers Mitchell Johnson and Mitchell Starc who both missed game two in Adelaide on Sunday.
Provide they are both available for game three, Cutting will return to the Heat camp in time to play in the BBL final against the Perth Sorchers.

InfoLab21 Needs Your Data
Researchers in the Computing department have developed a technique to help gain a better insight into visualisations of large amounts of data. They are looking for businesses to participate in a study to evaluate the effectiveness of their information visualisation application which utilises their novel sampling technique.
Ideally they would like users who regularly use interactive parallel coordinate plots or scatter plots to analyse their data and have large amounts of data that cannot normally be displayed all at once on the screen due to overplotting of the lines or points.
The tool can be used to spot correlations in data and has many potential applications, for example, spotting market trends and analysing buying behaviour.
