RIP Bill Lowe: Father of the IBM PC no longer reading drive C
Re: One interesting tidbit from the BBC article:
I've considered all the possibilities and I think: we'd have missed out on Clippy.
Snide remarks aside, respects to Bill Lowe. How many of us can claim to be be so sure in our belief about where the future lies as to overcome the inertia of a company like IBM and shape it ourselves?
Apple 'happy ending': BULGING iPhone WAD - but can it ever be enough?
Re: @WhoaWhoa (@Dan)
There's no evidence whatsoever to suggest that "The decision to remove CD drives is also cost driven". It further strikes me as at leart an order of magnitude more likely that the decision was motivated by the desire to make the machines thinner and lighter (it's one of Apple's favourite boasts) and to boost the battery life (both by eliminating the last moving part and by making more space available for those custom shaped batteries they love to glue in).
There's a difference in evaluation between a premium product and a budget product. Whether you think Apple produces a premium product or not is immaterial — some do, and they believe they're paying for (i) the hardware; (ii) the design; and (iii) to enter or remain in the ecosystem. They don't evaluate on component mark-ups alone because they believe that (ii) costs money and (iii) adds value beyond the components.
So they ask themselves "do I want the machine with the 5 megapixel screen that runs below 20 decibels for 12 hours between charges and weighs less than 2kg?" not "which machine is the cheapest for the performance level I've deemed adequate?"
If you think most people don't agree that Macs are worth the money then you're right. That's why at least 85% of buyers pick something else, even according to the most optimistic estimate of marketshare that Google could find me.
Post-PC era? Post-MAC era! OS X Mavericks 'upgrade' ruins iWorks
Re: I am an Apple fan... (@AC)
The new Macbook Pros are cheaper than the old. The 15" isn't a like-for-like comparison because the new entry level omits the discrete GPU and the old didn't, but last year's 13" was $1,499 at the time of discontinuation and the new is $1,299. That's a bit more than 13% cheaper.
I also think we're already several years past the point where people who like to upgrade their computers would consider a Mac?
OS X Mavericks mail client spews INFINITE SPAM
On the contrary, the Mac is still better than a PC for creative work in a whole bunch of key areas — see e.g. http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2013/09/making-the-ultimate-creative-content-os-ubercreate-os-1-0/ in which the author starts from the position that some people will be turned off by the new Mac Pro so, hypothetically, what would the perfect alternative platform be?
The Mac comes out as by far the closest thing to the ideal, based on much better out-of-the-box support for professional formats (HDR, EXR, etc), better multitasking under load (so you can do something else while a render occurs), system-wide scripting (though the author dislikes AppleScript, he likes the Automator) and search (ie, in every file dialogue in every app), much more mature HiDPI support (for people working with 4k video and without magnifying glasses) and a bunch of other things.
Windows wins only in 10-bit video output (which sounds quite significant to me, but isn't enough in isolation) and aero snap.
Mail's always been dodgy
... though it's working well for me at the minute. The last update appears finally to have resolved the bug whereby new emails sometimes display as empty until you restart the client, and even the iOS version no longer occasionally decides someone is trying to email me from 1969*.
So far I've had no issues whatsoever with any part of 10.9. But why do I feel like I'm tempting fate?

Naughty Flash Player BURIED ALIVE in OS X Mavericks Safari sandbox
Contorting Jobs' statement through selectively strict interpretation is about as meaningful as if I insisted your statement, "User-land code should only affect applications", couldn't possibly mean the logically corrected version, "User-land code should affect only applications", because that's not what you wrote.
Jobs often used 'the Mac' to mean any combination of the hardware, the OS and the applications that run on it.
User land code did only affect applications. Apple meant "... is the number one cause of crashes on Macs", not "... is the number one reason OS X crashes".

Apple CEO Tim Cook v Microsoft's Ballmer: Seconds out, round two!
Re: 2/3rds running iOS7
That's exactly what he meant — almost 67% of active (ie, not long ago resigned to a sock drawer) iOS devices have been updated. Which I think is meant to be a roundabout way of saying you should buy Apple because you'll definitely get OS updates, for a while anyway, and you should develop for Apple because you can adopt the latest frameworks pretty much as soon as they become available.
Per http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html about 70% of Android users now run 4.x so there are definitely more Android people — in both absolute and proportional terms — running the latest major version of Android than the latest iOS. The Android market doesn't tend to update as swiftly but at this point in the cycle that matters about as much as which phone manufacturer managed to ship colour screens first.

Pop OS X Mavericks on your Mac for FREE while you have LUNCH
Re: No Java
Sounds more like a launch-day bug to me. Mavericks had me reinstall Java, presumably because it's still closely tied to the OS even though Apple no longer maintains it in house, but in no sense did it wipe anything out or leave any sort of trail of destruction. After a quick 66.7 mb download (versus 5.<something> gb for the rest of the OS), everything worked fine — though in my case everything is: Cyberduck, Android Studio.
Re: Freemium
I haven't tried iMovie (at all, probably for years) but can confirm that all of Pages, Numbers, Keynote, iPhoto and OS X itself are definitely not freemium. Unless they're being super optimistic about the interest in OS X Server, of course.
Re: They are following Microsoft's lead again
I really thought it was more about bringing their collaboration stuff up to speed with Google Drive (née Docs), and finally updating the desktop versions of Pages/Numbers/Keynote after four years of mere maintenance, simultaneously resolving a lot of the interface deficiencies.
Microsoft's failure to bring Office to the mainstream mobile OSes has already probably sealed their fate. After years of having no choice but to sample the alternatives, people have learnt that there's life beyond Office.
Re: MAC users aren't that dumb.... ...?
Yeah, that's what happened. Customers picked ANDROID because they were all really worried about which kernel their phone runs and absolutely demanded Linux. That's why ANDROID owners often laugh at iOS users — their kernel is explicitly monolithic and they can't believe how hilarious it is that Apple's is still nominally a microkernel in many areas.

Apple's Oct 22 WORLD-SHAKING San Fran party: New iPads or what?
Re: Highly Likely
Mavericks is a no-brainer only if you assume Apple still has any interest in showcasing it. Mountain Lion was announced via their web site, and its release date was unveiled as part of the Q3 earnings call. Mavericks managed to ascend to the WWDC keynote for its announcement but the Q4 earnings call is on Monday the 28th so they might easily just upload it to the App Store and not comment until then.
Having now been able to try them both, Apple's fingerprint sensor is the same sort of thing as Motorola's in the same sense that a modern scanner is the same sort of thing as a fax machine. This is a case of Apple waiting for the technology to be made sufficiently useful by external forces before implementing it.
Sorry fanbois, no supersize Apple fondleslabs for you
Re: The dogs bark; fact check @Andy Prough
Apple marketshare in Q2 2012 was 18.8%, with 28.9m shipments. As of Q2 2013 share had dropped to 14.2%, but shipments were up to 31.9m. Source: http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/2573415
So, Apple: marketshare down 25%; shipments up 10%.
Between Q2 2010 and Q2 2011, RIM's shipments increased from 11.6m to 12.7m. Share dropped from 18.7% to 11.7%. Source: http://www.gartner.com/newsroom/id/1764714
So, BlackBerry: marketshare down 37%; shipments up 4%.
I couldn't find Q3 2013 figures, but the quarter ended less than half a month ago. I picked the quarter in which RIM performed best.
By Q4 RIM were, year on year, at 40% marketshare decline and an 11% decline in shipments. So if your comparison is correct then Apple's fortunes should decline very quickly.
However by using Q3 numbers, I have completely overlooked any effect the iPhone 5S/C may have on Apple's fortunes. So I'd suggest that Apple's decline isn't going to mirror BlackBerry's. Q3 and Q4 will probably show significant shipment increases if reports so far about the 5S are correct; the question is how deeply sales will dip in the middle of next year when the bump of a new product launch fades again.
Apple bags top Windows feature: Blue Screen Of Death arrives on iPhone 5S
Android should adapt relatively easily — the vast majority of apps run through the Dalvik virtual machine so all it takes is for someone at the centre to port that and those apps will take advantage of whatever ARM64 mode offers without any per-app reengineering.
The NDK apps will run because a backwards compatibility mode is present in current designs. They won't run as well as if they had been recompiled.
Although most Android devices are ARM based, there are a few that use x86 or MIPS processors. It's the Dalvik VM that mostly enables that.
Re: How exactly...
Crittercism is a third-party SDK that people integrate in order to get real-time crash reports and in-the-field profiling. So the information comes from sampling the applications of those developers that have opted to use their SDK.
Apple supplies crash reports too, but only in a very rustic form.
From Real World Technologies more than a year ago, when ARM64 was first announced and long before people started factoring their feelings about Apple into the assessment:
"Like x86, ARMv7 had a fair bit of cruft, and the architects took care to remove many of the byzantine aspects of the instruction set that were difficult to implement. The peculiar interrupt modes and banked registers are mostly gone. Predication and implicit shift operations have been dramatically curtailed. The load/store multiple instructions have also been eliminated, replaced with load/store pair. Collectively, these changes make AArch64 potentially more efficient than ARMv7 and easier to implement in modern process technology." (http://www.realworldtech.com/arm64/)
Apple's marketing division is hyping it based on 64 being a bigger number than 32 but that side of things almost certainly isn't why moving to ARM64 is a performance win.
In any case it's false to say that if something does not need a 64-bit address space then moving from ARMv7 to ARM64 is of no advantage. The feature Apple are shouting about may or may not be pointless; the improvements they aren't mentioning are real.
Android adware that MUST NOT BE NAMED threatens MILLIONS
Re: Only just this morning I was reading this... (@2nd AC)
I think the downvotes are more because the Linux kernel and its team are actually pretty good at security, and because Android implements Java via its own Google-specific virtual machine, using none of Oracle's code and therefore shouldn't be tainted with the same brush.
Re: Apple (someone had to raise this) (@HollyHopDrive)
Apple doesn't stipulate which advert libraries you can use.
Example third-party libraries with explicit iOS SDKs include Google AdMob (https://developers.google.com/mobile-ads-sdk/download), Flurry AppCircle (http://www.flurry.com/appCircle-a.html), InMobi (http://www.inmobi.com/products/sdk/) and MoPub (http://www.mopub.com/resources/open-source-sdk/).
The main reason this is far less likely on iOS is that Apple doesn't allow any application to collect text messages, phone call history or contacts. There are no APIs at all for the first two, and contacts can be collected only by a call that shows some Apple-defined user interface and eventually returns a single contact if the user confirms that course of events.
So on the iOS side it'd have to be a security privilege raising exploit as well as a trojan, rather than merely a trojan.
Apple's new iPhones dope-slap Samsung in US
Re: Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones! (@SuccessCase)
This news story is Canaccord Genuity stating that the new iPhones have outsold the Galaxy S4. In June Canaccord Genuity stated that the Galaxy S4 was outselling the old iPhone.
Here: http://www.informationweek.com/mobility/smart-phones/samsung-galaxy-s4-outsells-iphone-5/240156177
Stop press! Newer phones outsell older phones!
I look forward to reading the inverse of this story when the S5 arrives. And then reading it the same way around again when the iPhone 6 arrives.
(it is interesting to see the 5C gaining proportionally on the 5S though; I'm still not sure about its potential, on the grounds that (i) it's not particularly cheap; and (ii) the coloured plastic with a black front looks a bit odd)

Apple's new non-feline Mac operating system, OS X Mavericks, ready to go

Top tip: in 10.8 and above (so, I assume also the pending 10.9 though I haven't used it), hold down 'option' while the file menu is open. The hated 'Duplicate' will turn back into 'Save As...'

Total paid to Apple since 2005 if you kept up with every release (so, you bought 10.4 and everything since) in US dollars: 129 + 129 + 29 + 29 + 19 = $335
Total paid to Microsoft since 2005 according to the same rules (starting with an upgrade to Vista, assuming 'home' versions): 99 + 119 + 119 = $337
Down with Unicode! Why 16 bits per character is a right pain in the ASCII
Re: Down with Unicode (and UTF-8)!
Being a 1997 attempt to fix the problems stemming from a belief that "[t]he Unicode standard is a fixed-width scheme ... [that] uses 16-bit encoding", it was immediately irrelevant because UTF-8 had been presented in 1993. It's also modal, so lacks self synchronisation, and complicates things by defining character sets by language. As the paper acknowledges, 'a' is present separately as an English character, a French character, a German character, etc, etc, with the intention being that all those different 'a's are mapped back to the same thing after the fact.
Samsung DENIES benchmark CHEATING, despite evidence
Per the Ars article, it's a software hack. Samsung's build of Android spots when popular performance tools are being run and turns everything up to 11. The device couldn't run like that ordinarily without significantly shortening its lifetime, both per charge cycle and in general.
What Ars did was to create two versions of the benchmarking tool Geekbench — one that the system could identify as Geekbench and one that it couldn't. The code remained identical.
When it was identifiable by the system as Geekbench, the code ran up to 20% faster.
Sweet murmuring Siri opens stalker vulnerability hole in iOS 7
Re: poorly designed OS creaking at the seams (@TFM)
If the phone doesn't lock when paired with a hands-free device then the phone of anyone with a bluetooth headset is permanently unlocked. So as soon as one of those people leaves their phone on the bus, on their desk, is pick-pocketed, etc, the story would be that a security vulnerability had allowed their contacts/email/the rest to be accessed.
I also think Siri is Apple's attempt to integrate calendar, dialler, maps, GPS, etc. I'm don't think it's a good implementation but it's an attempt, at least.
Regardless, answer this: are there — as the poster suggests — any grounds whatsoever to conclude that because one of the supplied, first-party applications displays information when we as users wouldn't want it to, the operating system must be "creaking at the seams"?
Re: I just love apple security flaws.
No — that was true across the board when the feature launched but Apple lets the individual carriers dictate it. E.g. AT&T announced in May that they'd be allowing access by the end of the year (source: http://www.theverge.com/2013/5/20/4348672/att-will-allow-all-video-chat-apps-on-its-network-by-end-of-2013 ) and various individuals started reporting access somewhere around mid-June. I've no idea if it's nationwide yet but if it isn't then it will be soon. Other networks no doubt have similar plans.
Re: poorly designed OS creaking at the seams
Are you actually reading the stories?
Here's what users want a phone to do: (i) lock itself if left unattended; and (ii) be usable hands free, such as in cars.
The 'security' problems with iOS are nothing to do with the technical underpinnings. They're the direct result of the inherent conflict of those two goals. There's no hint of creaking internals whatsoever.
EU move to standardise phone chargers is bad news for Apple

I'm not sure everyone here has quite kept up with the news.

There's no bad news for Apple here. They'll put the one very small external thing inside the box instead of the other.

NSA in new SHOCK 'can see public data' SCANDAL!
Re: Oh, Grow Up! (@BillG)
Saying "this person also deserves criticism" with the implicit point being that blame doesn't divide along party lines isn't really an indicator of political leanings.
Conversely, trying to frame any criticism of Bush as necessarily liberal propaganda does suggest somewhat of a bias.
My interpretation of events since 2001 — the terrorist attack, not the change of administration — would be that these agencies have spiralled beyond anyone's control. The whole point of the constitution is that it creates competing interests and no single actor has control of all powers. Trying to pin all your national problems on this president or that party is inaccurate and unhelpful.
I assume you single out Obama on technical grounds? The well-known warrantless wiretaps under his predecessor were declared retroactively legal, after all.

Re: As a point of fact (@Hombre sin nombre)
I fact checked myself and had my numbers confused: it's 58% that would support greater gun control now! almost a year after the event. So I think probably the main point to be made is: it's no more accurate to paint America as a land of gun-obsessives than it is to paint it as a democratic panacea that European nations should aspire to. Americans are extremely diverse and likely just as many of them have a negative opinion of someone shooting up consumer electronics for YouTube as do Brits.
(aside: as a Brit currently resident in the US with interests back home, I'm currently part-funding both governments)
Re: As a point of fact
Here's what's going on in the US right now: last year, one party proposed an economic plan. That plan lost in a nationwide election by a healthy margin, cost the party Senate seats and substantially reduced the number of votes it received for the House of Representatives. Now that party is saying "it's either that plan or we shut down the government". When they did the same thing twice, two decades ago, the result was that the economy lost $1.5tn. It's line is being championed by someone in the Senate who (i) demanded the bill passed up from the House contain specific provisions; then (ii) took the floor to protest for 21 hours because the bill had exactly what he wanted in it; then (iii) voted in favour — alongside every other member of the Senate — of the procedural step he'd just spent 21 hours delaying.
Here's what happened last year: following a specific extreme criminal act, 58% of those surveyed wanted stricter gun controls. Legislation was debated but failed following threats from the gun lobby.
So: should anyone, anywhere in the world, take lessons from America on its system of legislation?

Why defeat in the FA Cup derby would not be a disaster for Arsenal or Tottenham
Published: 03 January 2014
Updated: 12:59, 03 January 2014
Derbies are usually polemic affairs: to the victor goes the glory while the loser wallows in embarrassment and misery.
Tomorrow's north London derby is a more complex concern. It comes at a time when most teams pause for breath after a manic festive period in which the limits of their League aspirations become sharply defined.
And as the dust settles, Arsenal and Tottenham can look at the Premier League table with optimism.
The Gunners sit top and have a genuine shot at winning the title. Spurs are sixth, two points outside the top four after a morale-boosting win at Manchester United. Both have goals within reach that will demand maximum effort until May with this month's transfer window offering a chance to restock their armoury, albeit at black-market prices.
But at this juncture, the FA Cup suddenly enters their consciousness. It is a tournament that retains a glimmer of its mystique but has inevitably found itself marginalised by the vast financial rewards on offer in the Premier League and Champions League.
Clubs are run as businesses and romance does not figure on a balance sheet. Arsenal's clash with Tottenham is the stand-out tie of the third round and neither has an obvious chance to rest players unlike United (at home to Swansea), Liverpool (home to Oldham), Everton (home to QPR) or Manchester City (away to Blackburn). So they must strike a balance between passion and pragmatism given the bigger picture.
The Gunners have shown signs of fatigue in recent weeks. It is perhaps more than a coincidence that two of their most important performers this season — Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud — are now injured given the burden they have carried to date.
Per Mertesacker and Wojciech Szczesny could do with a break to ensure their longevity but the identity of tomorrow's opponents plus a nine-day break until their next League engagement at Aston Villa could tempt Arsene Wenger into naming a strong side.
Momentum is an important factor, too. After their chastening 6-3 defeat at City, Wenger stabilised his team against Chelsea rather than risk another defeat to further puncture their self-belief.
These two sides hate losing to each other at the best of times but during a period when both are trying to convince themselves they can scale new heights, a defeat to their fiercest rivals would rank as a considerable body blow.
Supporters will remember the history of this fixture: Pat Jennings's error for Arsenal gifting his former side Tottenham a 1-0 win in 1982; Paul Gascoigne's magical free-kick setting Spurs on the way to a 3-1 semi-final success in 1991; Tony Adams heading the only goal in their 1993 semi-final and Robert Pires settling their last meeting at the semi-final stage in 2001.
And yet, while the FA Cup offers Arsenal a chance to end their trophy drought and Tim Sherwood an opportunity to strengthen his management credentials, both teams know avoiding the complications that can arise from an extended cup run is a useful consolation of a loss to the old enemy.
Spurs have played 31 matches already this season thanks to their involvement in the Europa League and Sherwood knows he will be judged on league performance rather than any cup success.
Wenger has repeatedly stated he will only sign a new contract if Arsenal prove themselves capable of winning major prizes and he simply does not consider either domestic cup competition worthy of that category.
He has been criticised for not taking a viable option of winning silverware seriously enough but Wenger has his eyes on the biggest prizes this season and his reliance on key players makes a strong case for rotation.
Arsenal have played 30 games and both compare unfavourably to another top-four rival, Liverpool, who face Oldham on Sunday in only their 23rd outing of the campaign.
Of course, the players all want to be involved. Buoyed by Wednesday's win at Old Trafford, Spurs captain Michael Dawson said: "We never go anywhere with fear, especially Arsenal. But it's a north London derby. We know what it means to the fans and to the players. There's immense pride for all of us in pulling that white shirt on, playing for the team and each other.
"That's what we'll be doing on Saturday, as we have all season. Sometimes things don't go as well as you'd like but that's when you've got to stand strong as a team and the quality comes out when you can show the determination we did on Wednesday."
There is no doubting the hunger for victory in both camps and among both sets of fans. There is a battle to be won. But not at expense of the war.

Kukla's Korner Hockey
Perry Dealing With Injury
by Paul on 03/10/08 at 09:50 AM ET
Comments (0)
from the LA Times,
Perry said he didn't feel pain right away but soon realized that he needed to get off the ice.
"I knew something happened," he said. "I didn't know I was cut. But I knew something happened. I just went straight off the ice. I looked down and saw a cut and saw some blood. I thought, 'This can't be good.' "
Colorado team physician Andy Parker immediately tended to Perry on the Ducks' training table, and the winger was rushed to Denver's Rose Medical Center for surgery to repair the tendon, which was 75% torn, according to the Ducks' training staff.
"They numbed me up and I was out," Perry said. "I woke up and I was out of surgery."

text: The Oil Spill in the Gulf of Mexico June 3, 2010 Written By: Ruben Zamudio, Allen Mariano, Vanessa Cruz, and Alexis Marquez Photograph. Web. 2 June 2010. <http://media.economist.com/images/na/2010w23/201023NAP328.jpg>. Background On April 20, 2010, perhaps the United States worst environmental incident occurred, a pipeline on the sea floor exploded, gushing out thousands of gallons of oil into the Gulf of Mexico. BP (British Petroleum) is on the hot seat, being accused of the explosion of the pipeline. BP however, does not want to be held responsible for this, but agrees that they'll be a big part in the clean up of the mess. But what exactly caused the huge oil spill? According to CNN.com, workers on the Transocean Deep Horizon drilling rig, which isn't owned by BP, was working to cap a new exploratory well. The well however had suffered a hectic "blow", causing fire and sinking a rig, and rupturing the pipeline. The rupture of the pipeline caused thousands of gallons of oil to be extracted to the gulf, covering a giant mass of space with oil. The Spread It has been estimated that there has been about 500,000-780,000 gallons of oil that has already polluted the water. The oil has appeared onto the shores of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama. In addition to that, the oil is also heading for Florida. The potential harm of the oil comes when it becomes less unstable and lethal as it weathers. The oil goes from its liquid state into a tar ball form, which is the least harmful form of the oil. Although, tar balls are really sticky, and can potentially harm plants and animals on the shores they wash onto. Knowing the potential harm oil can have on many organisms at sea; scientists are figuring out ways to dissolve the oil. For instance they are using dispersants, which is a liquid that break down the oil into smaller drops and disperse into the water similar to the way smoke disperses into air. However, dispersants may be a little toxic and can harm the wildlife in the water. Another method the BP has tried was the "Top Kill" plan, where mud is pumped into the oil well, but has failed in plugging the ruptured oil wells. BP is now attempting to cut damaged riser pipes then install a containment device that would hold and syphon the oil to the surface. Marine Life and Coastal Ecosystem Organisms that live in the gulf are fish, crabs, shrimp, oysters, sea turtles, dolphins, jelly fish, planktons, whales and manatees. Those organisms that live in the oil spill zone especially organisms that live near the surface of the water are being affected more. Different organisms are having different reactions with the problem of the oil spill that is harmful to the organisms. For example, the Seabirds that dive into the sea, to catch prey, could accidently carry oil and take it to their nests where their eggs can absorb the oil and kill the development of the egg. Organisms like sea turtles and dolphins breathe twice a minute they inhale the oil which harms their body. The majority of the organism's skin burns and develops rashes and when they inhale the dangerous toxin their lungs burn, hurts and damages their insides. All species living in the gulf are endangered especially the loggerhead turtles, green turtles and hawks bill turtles they are the ones that keep on dying constantly and they are endangered of becoming extinct. Scientist are worried about the turtle specie such as kemps, sea turtles, hawksbill sea turtles , green sea turtles, loggerhead turtles and leather back sea turtles. In May 18, 2010 federal officials have found one hundred and nine organisms dead in one whole day there were one hundred and fifty four sea turtles, twelve dolphins, and twenty three birds. There also several types of species in this region that have become endangered. This includes: the Gulf Sturgeon which grows to about eight feet in length and weighs two hundred pounds, and the small tooth sawfish, that have a flat snout with teeth in the edge of their snout ( grow about eighteen feet in length are known to be related to sharks, rays and skates). Life on the Sea Floor The oil has not only affected the surface of the ocean, but most likely it has affected the organisms in a seafloor. The two types of communities found in the sea floor are clams and mussels. These communities fall in the Archaea category. These organisms depend on getting their energy through the hot rich mineral water instead of depending on photosynthesis. These species depend on the sulfide that is found in certain organisms above the seafloor. They use the sulfide to create food, this process is called chemosynthesis. There have been expeditions that have been made to take samples of sediment and water beneath the oil spill, to see what affects it is taking place underneath the spill. National Institute for Undersea Science and Technology has been observing and taking these samples for further investigation. "Once it settles it destroys the cane and kills the shrimp. If you kill the shrimp, you kill the fish that feed off the shrimp, and if you kill the fish then there is nothing left in the Gulf of Mexico. That would absolutely be a disaster for years and years." (Brennan, Dan) Says a Charter boat captain Dan Dix. He believes that this spill will greatly affect our ecosystem for many years to come. The Fisheries Due to the oil spill that occurred in the Gulf of Mexico, there has been devastating affects in the fisheries. There are many organisms that are being affected and those include migratory species of fishes, oysters, larvae of shrimp, and crabs. In average, the fisheries around the gulf coast are worth $2.4 billion industry. It has also affects the tourism in the Florida which is estimated to be $65 billion in industry. The senator in the state of Alabama, Richard Shelby, says: "Alabama's fishing industry represents one of the largest economic engines in the state—accounting for more than $800 million in sales and nearly 18,000 jobs. We must proactively work to adequately deal with this situation." Because of the oil spill economically, speaking, it is going to have a major impact. Besides economic issues that arise in the long run, there are also health concerns that arise to the workers who are working on cleaning up the oil spill. They are exposed to various chemicals and toxins that can harm them in the long run. There have been already nine workers hospitalized, but it is still unknown if the cause was due to the oil spill.

4 StarsJo Petty, 2/Nov/2014
A beautiful forest with plenty to do - we did Segways and Go Ape. Sadly our visit was marred by the theft of my bike which was left locked onto Thule roof bars for half an hour in the busy car park- still amazed at how they did it! We weren't the only ones to suffer the car next door but one had two bikes taken that were locked to the rear of their car - in both instances the childrens bikes were left! Any information please comment or pass to Nottinghamshire police thanks.
Think the management need " bike thieves operate in this area" to remind visitors it's not as safe as it looks despite the amount of people around.
5 StarsF. Browb, 29/Oct/2014
We visited yesterday (my first time) but my family has been a few times and we had a wonderful time. The facilities are excellent and all for the wonderful price of ■4 per car. Unbeatable considering there were 3 of us and we spent hours enjoying ourselves in the woods and playing :0) a great family experience. We will be back many times
5 StarsMTBer, 17/Oct/2014

November 26, 2014
A Nevada judge says he'll decide Wednesday whether to enact a smoking ban approved by voters in November or set a hearing to decide its constitutionality.
Clark County District Court Judge Douglas Herndon says he needs time to sift through documents submitted today and to go over his notes on arguments made for and against the measure.
The judge imposed a restraining order December seventh preventing the Clean Indoor Air Act from being enforced in Clark County.
That sent ripples around the state where officials say they're watching to see what happens in Las Vegas.
Lawyers for the state attorney general's office and Southern Nevada Health District say it's clear voters statewide want to limit smoking indoors to prevent children, adults and workers from having to breathe second-hand smoke.
But a trio of lawyers representing more than 220 businesses say
customers will leave and jobs will be lost.
They also submitted affidavits from top southern Nevada law enforcement officials saying the law's so vague and so flawed as to
be completely unenforceable.
They say the judge should let the state Legislature write a law that could pass constitutional muster.

:: Home > Around the World > Ten Years A Slave Staring At Goats For Greek Man
© europics.at
05. 06. 14. - 16:00

Police in Kazakhstan are trying to solve the mysterious kidnapping and enslavement of a Greek man who says he was held for a decade against his will and forced to tend goats.
Dmitry Hionidi, 66, says he left his homeland with his wife and daughter for a better life ten years ago, but they were killed shortly after arriving in a car crash. With no family back in Greece he decided to stay on and try his luck in a remote area of the country.
He pitched up in the suburbs of Zhanaozen, a town in the Mangystau Province of Kazakhstan, located south-east of the city of Aktau.
"One day as I was walking along the road looking for manual work a truck stopped, I was bundled inside and my life as a free man was effectively over," said Dmitry. "I was locked up on a farm in the middle of nowhere, where I was forced to feed goats. I was never given enough to eat, I was beaten, I suffered terrible pains in my legs as a result of the malnutrition.
"I was completely alone and completely at the mercy of a cruel man I had to call 'master.' In the end I could barely walk."
His ordeal ended when he could no longer work, and his cruel master bundled him back into his truck and dumped him at a local hospital - warning him to keep his mouth shut.
Doctors confirmed his legs are so malformed from the malnutrition that he now has to use a wheelchair. Police say he has been quizzed several times about his ordeal but he is too afraid to point them in the right direction that might lead them to his tormentor.
A spokesman said: "He told us that he tried to escape several times but was always recaptured and beaten. He suffered terribly from the cold and malnutrition and the heavy, physical labour he was forced to perform. He was probably dumped at the hospital because his kidnapper feared he was about to die and didn't want to be lumbered disposing of a corpse."
Now it has been revealed that there is a happy ending of sorts. Distant relatives of Dmitry have been found in Greece, who say they are willing to take him in and care for him for the rest of his life.
They are now looking at ways to get the cash to fly him home.

Print management and computer reservation solutions are designed to help libraries cut down on waste and ensure that time on public computers is distributed fairly among patrons, with minimal staff intervention. To keep pace with current trends, several vendors have added new features to their public computer management packages in recent months, enabling patrons to print from their own mobile devices, for example. All vendors negotiate pricing on a system- by-system basis, typically according to the selection of specific options or modules, the number of branches in which the solutions will be used, and the number of public access stations at each branch. Some solutions, such as Librarica's CASSIE and Comprise's SAM, are designed as fully integrated systems offering a variety of management features in one package. Other providers, such as EnvisionWare, iTeam, and GoPrint, offer the option to purchase reservation and print management modules separately. However, all vendors contacted for this spotlight describe their solutions as scalable, with options available for networks with as few as five public computers.

Library UX: Unique Programs and Services for an Engaged Community | Lead the Change
Thursday, November 20th, 2014, 3:00 PM – 4:00 PM ET / 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM PT
During this insightful discussion between Aaron Schmidt, Principal, Influx Library User Experience and LJ columnist (The User Experience) and the co-founders/directors of DOKLAB, we will highlight a variety of novel and meaningful things that libraries around the world are doing to engage their communities. Register Now!
Center for an Urban Future Re-Envisions New York's Branch Libraries
From the Andrew Carnegie–era temples of learning to the small cinderblock "Lindsay boxes" built during Mayor John Lindsay's administration from 1966–1973, New York City's 207 library branches are as varied as its population. And like much of the city, they are feeling the crunch of budget cuts and neglect.
Libraries Welcome Writers in Residence
Libraries have always been second homes to many writers. Two programs are hoping to further encourage that relationship starting this fall and into the future. The Public Library of Cincinnati's Writer-In-Residence program and the CHP in the Stacks residency program from publishing company Coffee House Press (CHP) will give select writers stipends to do their work in a library while helping publicize that library's resources to the community.
One Book, Well Done
Organizations in every state in America, plus the District of Columbia, have hosted a communitywide reading program at one point or another, according to the Library of Congress. So-called One Book programs are everywhere. However, to engage the entire community, whether municipality, county, region, or state, successfully in a communitywide reading event takes planning as well as skill and enthusiasm. LJ spoke with reads veterans from around the country to learn what worked for them—and what could work for your library.
NYPL and U. Penn Partner for In-Person MOOC Support
Poets through the ages have managed very well without institutional backing. The study of poetry, on the other hand, requires a little more infrastructure.

State Tweak to Seed Library Rules Ignites Debate
As controversies go, it would have been difficult to see this one coming. In tiny Mechanicsburg, PA, a pilot seed library in existence for all of four months is now the epicenter of a national discussion among seed traders, growers of organic food, and other agriculture experts after state officials wrote a list of regulations for the fledgling program.
Ferguson Libraries Step Up to Serve Community in Turmoil
Library Linguistics
More and more, libraries strive not only to be spaces for researching subjects of interest to their patrons but to offer options that let users learn new skills, whether they're physically in the library or not. One area in which mobile learning through the library is making headway is language learning. Many online lesson providers offer programs through libraries that patrons can use in the building, at home, or even while waiting in line for a cup of coffee.

Why is MegaFab still polluting? IEPA responds…
Editor's note: Click here to view the original article about containment booms being deployed on the Rock River near the MegaFab plant. The following response from the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency was received after the original article had gone to press.
To: Frank Schier. Editor and Publisher
I have more information for you in regards to your inquiry about the Rock River. The IEPA began addressing this issue last fall with MegaFab and local officials. The Illinois EPA was first alerted to reports of an oily sheen on the Rock River in October of 2012. While drought conditions at that time made it difficult initially to observe the sheen on the river, follow-up inspections did reveal an oily sheen on the river and seepage from a retaining wall, but a source could not immediately be identified. The Rockford Fire Department deployed boom to contain the material. IEPA, in cooperation with local officials, instructed MegaFab that the issue needed to be addressed and that further sampling would be required to determine the source of the seepage. In November, borings done by the company on its property did find petroleum-based product. On December 1, MegaFab installed absorbent containment boom, where it remains to date.
On March 11, 2013, IEPA issued a Violation Notice (VN) to MegaFab alleging four violations of the Illinois Environmental Protection Act. That begins a statutory process that allows an alleged violator to respond to the agency by disputing the VN, or by proposing a Compliance Commitment Agreement (CCA) that addresses each violation and results in all issues in the incident being resolved. IEPA can accept or reject a CCA based on its review of the matter and whether it fully addresses the agency's concerns. If the CCA is denied, IEPA can refer the case to the Illinois Attorney General's office for court enforcement of remediation measures and/or penalties. As part of the VN, IEPA recommended several measures that could be taken by the company including installing an interceptor trench to capture any material being discharged, properly disposing of the petroleum-based product that has been found and the continued deployment and monitoring of boom on the river. These measures, if agreed to by the company, would be included in a proposed CCA. As of today, IEPA is in the process of reviewing the viability of a CCA for MegaFab and will determine what action to take.
