An anonymous reader writes: A team of hackers is collaborating with military and industry groups to develop cyber security defenses for commercially available cars, in response to a growing threat from criminals and terrorists. In the U.K., hackers are now responsible for a third of car thefts in London and there are fears that while technology is progressing, older models will remain vulnerable to attack. Although there have been no reported instances of a car being completely commandeered outside of controlled conditions, during tests hackers come out on top every time – unlocking car boots, setting off windscreen wipers, locking brakes, and cutting the engine.

Advocatus Diaboli sends word of a new release of documents made available by Edward Snowden. The documents show British intelligence agency GCHQ had a deep partnership with telecommunications company Cable & Wireless (acquired later by Vodafone). The company allowed GCHQ to tap submarine cables around the world, and was paid millions of British pounds as compensation. The relationship was so extensive that a GCHQ employee was assigned to work full time at Cable & Wireless (referred to by the code name "Gerontic" in NSA documents) to manage cable-tap projects in February of 2009. By July of 2009, Cable & Wireless provided access to 29 out of the 63 cables on the list, accounting for nearly 70 percent of the data capacity available to surveillance programs. ... As of July of 2009, relationships with three telecom companies provided access to 592 10-gigabit-per-second pipes on the cables collectively and 69 10-gbps "egress" pipes through which data could be pulled back. The July 2009 documents included a shopping list for additional cable access—GCHQ sought to more than triple its reach, upping access to 1,693 10-gigabit connections and increasing egress capacity to 390. The documents revealed a much shorter list of "cables we do not currently have good access [to]."

_Sharp'r_ writes Two Stanford PhDs, Ross Koningstein and David Fork, worked for Google on the RE<C project to figure out how to make renewables cheaper than coal and solve climate change. After four years of study they gave up, determining "Renewable energy technologies simply won't work; we need a fundamentally different approach." As a result, is nuclear going to be acknowledged as the future of energy production?

concertina226 writes Kim Dotcom has spoken out about his long battle over copyright with the U.S. government and his regrets about the events that have led to his arrest ahead of his bail breach hearing on Thursday that could see him return to jail in New Zealand. "Would I have done things differently? Of course. My biggest regret is I didn't take the threat of the copyright law and the MPAA seriously enough," Dotcom said via live video link from his mansion in Auckland, New Zealand at the Unbound Digital conference in London on Tuesday. ... "We never for a minute thought that anyone would bring any criminal actions against us. We had in-house legal counsel, we had three outside firms working for us who reviewed our sites, and not once had any of them mentioned any form of legal risk, so I wish I had known that there was a risk."

An anonymous reader writes with this snippet from The Guardian: "Internet companies are allowing their networks to be used to plot "murder and mayhem", David Cameron has said in response to the official inquiry into the intelligence agencies' actions ahead of the killing of Lee Rigby. He demanded that internet companies live up to their social responsibilities to report potential terror threats and said there was no reason for such firms to be willing to cooperate with state agencies over child abuse but not over combatting terrorism. His comments to the House of Commons came after the parliamentary intelligence and security committee concluded that the brutal murder of Rigby could have been prevented if an internet company had passed on an online exchange in which one of the killers expressed "in the most graphic terms" his intention to carry out an Islamist jihadi attack.

hypnosec writes: Analogue, a theater/art group, has developed an interactive installation called "Transports," powered by the Raspberry Pi, that lets you experience symptoms of Parkinson's disease. In the illusion, a person's mind is tricked into believing that his/her hand is the hand shown in a point-of-view video, and the motorized glove worn by the user gives the feeling of tremors associated with Parkinson's. The glove recreates tremors, the ones experienced by patients, at 6 hertz – the upper limit of what is experienced by people with Parkinson's disease. Users are asked to follow instructions fed through headphones while using the glove, which creates an illusion of a virtual limb. They are supposed to mimic the movements of a man on the screen and manipulate real cutlery as he does.

Advocatus Diaboli writes The Regin malware, whose existence was first reported by the security firm Symantec on Sunday, is among the most sophisticated ever discovered by researchers. Symantec compared Regin to Stuxnet, a state-sponsored malware program developed by the U.S. and Israel to sabotage computers at an Iranian nuclear facility. Sources familiar with internal investigations at Belgacom and the European Union have confirmed to The Intercept that the Regin malware was found on their systems after they were compromised, linking the spy tool to the secret GCHQ and NSA operations.

The Register reports that Motorola has issued a recall for an early batch of its hotly anticipated new Nexus 6 smartphones that were sold through U.S. mobile carrier AT&T, owing to a software glitch that can reportedly causes the devices to boot to a black screen. ... AT&T retail stores have reportedly been told to return their existing inventory of the Nexus 6 and wait for new units to arrive from Motorola, which has already corrected the problem on its assembly line. Any customer who brings a defective unit into an AT&T store will receive a replacement. Motorola's memo to stores says that only initial shipments were affected, and that the problem has been identified. However, as the article mentions, there's thus far less luck for those like me who've found that at least some original Nexus 7 tablets do not play nicely with Lollipop. (The effects look nice, but it's never a good sign to see "System UI isn't responding. Do you want to close it?" on a tablet's screen.)

jfruh writes Last weekend, Tim Berners-Lee said that the UK needs more members of parliament who can code. Well, the most recent U.S. congressional election has obliged him on this side of the Atlantic: the number of coders in Congress has tripled, with the downside being that their numbers have gone from one to three.

hawkinspeter writes: The BBC reports that overnight an outage of Microsoft's Azure cloud computing platform took down many third-party sites that rely on it, in addition to disrupting Microsoft's own products. Office 365 and Xbox Live services were affected.
This happened at a particularly inopportune time, as Microsoft has recently been pushing its Azure services in an effort to catch up with other providers such as Amazon, IBM, and Google. Just a couple of hours previously, Microsoft had screened an Azure advert in the UK during the Scotland v. England soccer match." (Most services are back online. As of this writing, Application Insights is still struggling, and Europe is having problems with hosted VMs.)

The UK's Trading Standards organization is investigating the incident, saying it may breach regulations. The Broadway Hotel's booking policy reads (in small print), "Despite the fact that repeat customers and couples love our hotel, your friends and family may not.

Robotron23 writes: The developers behind the sequel to legendary video game Elite have, to the anger and dismay of fans, dropped the offline single-player mode originally promised. The game is due for full release in under a month. With the title having raised about $1.5 million from Kickstarter, and millions more in subsequent campaigns that advertised the feature, gamers are livid. A complaints thread on the official Elite forums has swelled to 450+ pages in only three days, while refunds are being lodged in the thousands. It is down to the discretion of Frontier, the game's developer, whether to process refund requests of original backers.

An anonymous reader writes Toyota has announced the name of its new hydrogen-powered car: Mirai, which means "future" in Japanese. Toyota CEO Akio Toyoda said: "Today, we are at a turning point in automotive history. A turning point where a four-door sedan can travel 300 miles on a single tank of hydrogen, can be refueled in under five minutes and emit only water vapor."

mpicpp points out that high-resolution pictures have been released of Philae's landing. "The hunt for Rosetta's lost lander Philae is gaining steam as scientists pore over images from above the comet that may help reveal its final location. The ESA released an image Monday taken by Rosetta's OSIRIS camera showing Philae's first bounce on the comet. The mosaic includes a series of pictures tracking the lander descending toward the comet, the initial touchdown point and then an image of the lander moving east. 'The imaging team is confident that combining the CONSERT ranging data with OSIRIS and navcam images from the orbiter and images from near the surface and on it from Philae's ROLIS and CIVA cameras will soon reveal the lander's whereabouts,' says the ESA."

HughPickens.com writes Gurvinder Gill writes at BBC that Ayan Qureshi is the world's youngest Microsoft Certified Professional after passing the tech giant's exam when he was just five years old. Qureshi's father introduced his son to computers when he was three years old. He let him play with his old computers, so he could understand hard drives and motherboards. "I found whatever I was telling him, the next day he'd remember everything I said, so I started to feed him more information," Qureshi explained. "Too much computing at this age can cause a negative effect, but in Ayan's case he has cached this opportunity." Ayan has his own computer lab at his home in Coventry, containing a computer network which he built and spends around two hours a day learning about the operating system, how to install programs, and has his own web site.
Microsoft Certified Professional (MCP) is a certification that validates IT professional and developer technical expertise through rigorous, industry-proven, and industry-recognized exams. MCP exams cover a wide range of Microsoft products, technologies, and solutions. When the boy arrived to take the Microsoft exam, the invigilators were concerned that he was too young to be a candidate. His father reassured them that Ayan would be all right on his own. "There were multiple choice questions, drag and drop questions, hotspot questions and scenario-based questions," Ayan's father told the BBC Asian Network. "The hardest challenge was explaining the language of the test to a five-year-old. But he seemed to pick it up and has a very good memory."

An anonymous reader writes Japan has now put 100 passengers on a Maglev train doing over 500kph. That's well over twice as fast as the fastest U.S. train can manage, and that only manages 240kph on small sections of its route. The Japanese Shinkansen is now running over 7 times times as fast as the average U.S. express passenger train. 500kph is moving towards the average speed of an airliner. Add the convenience of no boarding issues, and city-centre to city-centre travel, and the case for trains as mass-transport begins to look stronger.

An anonymous reader writes with this excerpt from Techdirt: A few years ago, we mocked then Senator Joe Lieberman's request that internet companies put "report this content as terrorist content" buttons on various types of online content. The plan went nowhere, because it's a really bad idea, prone to massive abuse. Yet, over in the UK, some apparently think it's such a grand idea that they're actually moving forward with it. This isn't a huge surprise — the current UK government has been going on for quite some time about banning "extremist" content, and just recently ramped up such efforts. And now it appears that a bunch of big UK broadband access providers have agreed to play along: The UK's major Internet service providers – BT, Virgin, Sky and Talk Talk – have this week committed to host a public reporting button for terrorist material online, similar to the reporting button which allows the public to report child sexual exploitation. They have also agreed to ensure that terrorist and extremist material is captured by their filters to prevent children and young people coming across radicalising material.

RogueyWon (735973) writes "The latest entry in the long-running Assassin's Creed game series, Assassin's Creed: Unity released this week. Those looking for pre-release reviews on whether to make a purchase were out of luck; the publisher, Ubisoft, had provided gaming sites with advance copies, but only on condition that their reviews be withheld until 17 hours after the game released in North America. Following the game's release, many players have reported finding it in a highly buggy state, with severe performance issues affecting all three release platforms (PC, Playstation 4 and Xbox One). Ubisoft has been forced onto the defensive, taking the unprecedented step of launching a live-blog covering their efforts at debugging the game, but the debacle has already had a large impact on the company's share value and the incident has drawn widespread attention to the increasingly common practice of review embargoes."

PUNTA GORDA, Fla.- West Marion Avenue in Punta Gorda is bare and quiet now, but soon the streets will be crawling with ghouls.
Christy Smith has lived on West Marion for 30 years. She says the number of trick-or-treaters has exploded over the last decade. Today, she showed us all the candy she plans to give out.
"I think everyone thinks it's safe to trick-or-treat here," Smith explained.
"At least 2500 I start out with every year," Smith said. And she is not alone.
"Well, we give out a lot of candy," Madeline Fey said. "It's hundreds of dollars. That I do know."
Bill Paolicelli has only lived downtown for a couple of years, but he has already found his holiday spirit.
"I couldn't believe it. It was outrageous. Number of people that came here and people dont believe it when I tell them," Paolicelli explained.
Although expensive for these residents, they say they enjoy all the visitors.
The trick-or-treat area in the downtown district runs on Marion Avenue between U.S. 41 and Dolly Avenue. The Punta Gorda Police Department tells WINK News they expect to have more than a dozen police officers and volunters working in this area to keep trick-or-treaters safe.

Just to … CONTINUED
First 2011 5-series spotted in Milano Beige, a color not usually very eye catching, except that it sits on the F10s beautiful sheet metal.
These are the best photos and video of a black F10 2011 5-series yet. These final prototype F10s are being driven by BMW employees as part of the final testing and evaluation process.
Part 3 (last) of the 5-series GT feature series, showing how BMW conducts high speed and final testing, wrapping up a 5 year development period.
This titanium F10 5-series was spotted on the highway to Munich. Its one of the final production prototypes given to BMW employees for testing and subjected to every day use and every aspect is logged and submitted to the project team.

DEFINITION of 'Shadow Rating'
1. The name given to a bond rating performed on an issuing party by a credited institution, but without any public announcement of the results.
2. A rating given by S&P to Israel Bonds, which are not permitted to be traded on the secondary market.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Shadow Rating'
1. Shadow ratings are useful for companies trying to assess how much a debt issue might be worth to investors. Rather than publicly releasing the results of a credit analysis by a third party, companies might wish to first know what the results are before it is released to the public.
2. These ratings were given to determine the credit worthiness of bonds with no secondary market. In the past, Israel Bonds were considered to be more representative of donations rather than safe investments.

Bedford Presbyterian Church takes journey back in time

Cast members assemble at a living nativity scene hosted at the Bedford Presbyterian Church Sunday evening. (Mark Bolton/Union Leader)
BEDFORD - A bit of Bethlehem came to town Sunday, as the Bedford Presbyterian Church's annual live nativity made its way down Church Road in Bedford Center.
Parishioners transformed themselves into wise men, shepherds, angels and Mary and Joseph as they re-told the story of the nativity in various locations on the church property.
"We take people on a journey to experience all of those characters," said Gretchen Gray, who has organized the event for the past six years, adding that participation by the public has a way of reinforcing its message.
"Rather than just sit and watch it, we take people on the journey with us," Gray said.
Different types of live animals were donated by Charmingfare Farm. Sheep, goats, a donkey, even rabbits and hens were brought in past years.
Gray said the animals provide authentic noise, similar to what would have been heard 2,000 years ago.
Caroling prior to the nativity presentation was held in the church's sanctuary, and hot chocolate and refreshments served in the church hall after give the church an opportunity to provide fellowship to the community, said Gray.
"It's one of the largest outreach projects that we do," Gray said. "It's our gift to the community."
Gray said one of the more interesting stories involves the innkeeper's home, which is across the street from the church and the first stop on the journey of Mary and Joseph.
The home changed owners a few years ago, and when it was sold, the new owners were told about the nativity and agreed to take on the part of innkeeper.
Gray said the house changed hands again this year, and the new owners are also interested in keeping the tradition going.
"We're delighted that they were willing to keep going with it," she said.
Those attending said the event provides them with a sense of spirituality often missing from the holidays.
"Christmas is not about the hubbub, it's not about the rush - there is a reason for the season," said Kevin Wooldridge, who was participating in the nativity for the first time. "It's not 'happy holidays,' it's merry Christmas."
Jennifer Chew, who has lived in Bedford for the past 11 years, attends the nativity every year, and her children have been angels in the past.
"It's great to have the community here," she said.
Linda Muir was attending the event for the first time.
"I think that anything that keeps Christ in Christmas, I'm all for it," she said.
Gray said the live nativity reminds people of the true meaning of the holiday season, and she enjoys doing it.
"Amid the hustle and bustle, and shopping, it's nice to get back to the root of the story," she said. "It's my favorite Christmas thing to do."

Express Logic, Inc., the worldwide leader in royalty-free, real-time operating systems (RTOS), announced that its NetX™Duo TCP/IP stack has achieved an outstanding near-wire speed of 910-940 Mbps on Xilinx's Zynq™-7000 All Programmable SoC, a new category of devices which combine an ARM® dual-core Cortex™-A9 MPCore™ processing system with advanced 28nm programmable logic. NetX Duo, Express Logic's dual IPv4/IPv 6 TCP/IP stack supports over 12 application protocols, including TCP/IP, UDP, DHCP, FTP, SNMP, and others that make it ideal for the high-performance connectivity needs of today's consumer, medical and industrial devices. NetX Duo's functionality and efficiency enable Zynq-7000 devices to deliver a combination of maximum performance and robust connectivity, reducing design costs, and speeding time to market.
To achieve near-wire speeds, NetX Duo takes advantage of Zynq-7000's gigabit Ethernet port, hardware checksum accelerator, and dedicated Ethernet MAC DMA engine that is integrated into its programmable logic, to maximize network transfer speed. Because TCP/IP stacks typically achieve significantly less than 100% of the hardware's maximum capability, developers often have to choose faster, more expensive, power-hungry processors to gain desired network performance. In contrast, NetX Duo achieves 91-94% of maximum wire speed on Zynq-7000 devices running on only one of its 2 Cortex-A9 processors, freeing up the other A9 processor for functions that can run simultaneously without slowing network performance.
"Not all TCP/IP stacks are equal," confirmed William E. Lamie, President of Express Logic. "In addition to our NetX Duo stack performing better than others, studies confirm that our users consistently achieve lower development costs and faster time to market. To reduce overall costs, developers should focus on stacks which are optimized to get the most out of the hardware. NetX Duo delivers outstanding performance on Zynq-7000 devices, warranting significant consideration by the performance-conscious developer."
"The Ethernet throughput achieved by Express Logic's NextX Duo stack on the Zynq-7000 All Programmable SoC is outstanding. The Zynq-7000 architecture was designed to enable the highest Ethernet throughput, and the NetX Duo performance results validate many of our architectural choices," said Xilinx Director of Processing Technical Marketing Greg Brown,. "Ethernet is ubiquitous, and the NetX Duo stack offers a very appealing solution for many of the applications that the Zynq-7000 devices serve."
NetX Duo performance was measured using iperf, the open-source benchmark tool that has become the industry standard for measuring network throughput. iperf runs on a Windows host connected to a Xilinx Zynq-7000 SoC ZC702 Evaluation Kit via Ethernet. The iperf TCP and UDP results were served by NetX Duo as a web page and displayed by Internet Explorer on the host PC.
Shipping and Availability
NetX Duo is available in full source code form, royalty free, with project licenses starting at $18,750.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

We are reaching the end of the beginning with WebRTC, and real systems using this technology have begun to appear. One challenge that faces every WebRTC deployment (in some form or another) is identity management. For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - The U.S. Department of Energy has announced awards to speed the development of offshore wind projects, and Dominion Virginia Power is among the recipients.
The grants announced Wednesday provide up to $4 million for each recipient to complete engineering, design and other costs. The Dominion award is for two 6-megawatt turbines off Virginia Beach.
The turbines will use what is called "twisted jacket" foundations, which use less steel but maintain their strength.
Oceana's Nancy Sopko says the awards provide much-needed support to a growing and promising industry. The ocean advocate said offshore winds provide clean, renewable energy while creating thousands of jobs.
The federal government plans to sell leases for wind farms off the coast of Virginia next year.

Once the candy of young adults, social media is now becoming the meat and potatoes of valuable brands and value-oriented consumers. But it's no longer enough to stick a logo, some boilerplate marketing copy and a handful of ads on your Twitter, Fourquare or Facebook page and call it a campaign. As social media becomes analogous with social reality, users want to – you know – socialize with their favorite brands the way they do with their friends: through open dialogue and unique, fun and mutually beneficial exchanges. Welcome to the age of social commerce. Social media—specifically, a strategic social media presence—not only supports but also shapes consumer and brand behavior and increases brand and personal value. Why? Let's break this down. You allow an entire network to review your Tweets about recent purchases, Tumblr posts about cool finds, or Facebook likes and dislikes. That network cares about what you have to say, which validates your opinions and amplifies your confidence, your I-have-something -to-add chops. It's social currency and makes you a more desirable friend online and offline. Brands are starting to get it, and are giving consumers a reason to feel special and wanted via social media outlets.

Executives at such luxury brands as Burberry, Louis Vuitton, and Versace can breathe a sigh of relief. The annual luxury market study by leading consultant Bain & Company is bullish on high-end goods, predicting a strong 2011. According to Bain, sales of global luxury goods should break the 2007 record next year.Not surprisingly, demand by Chinese consumers for luxury goods — some call it "label lust" — will drive the uptick, with growth of as much as 30 percent. Europe will see a 6 percent rise, while Japan will recover more slowly. The U.S. luxury goods market, which dropped 15 percent this year, may see a 12 percent increase in 2011.Luxury goods marketers were positively giddy at the news. Santo Versace, chairman of the Italian fashion brand Versace and chair of Altagamma, an Italian luxury goods association, proclaimed, "In the first half of this year we talked about a light at the end of the tunnel. On the basis of the preliminary 2010 figures, we can confirm that positive trend."The latest figures from high-end marketers seem to support the Bain forecast. LVMH, owner of such brands as Burberry, Gucci, Krug, and Louis Vuitton, enjoyed a 14 percent increase in third quarter sales. Burberry, also an LVMH brand, reported that in the first six months of 2010, sales in its Chinese stores were up 25 percent.Not all luxury goods will see improvement, however; Bain predicts that luxury yachts will likely experience a "double digit" decline in sales. Overall, Bain said, leather bags, jewelry, shoes and watches would be the biggest risers with an expected gain of around 8 percent next year.

While much of the blame falls on China for producing and selling counterfeit goods, it's rampant and widespread. Despite actions taken by such luxury brands as Christian Louboutin, Louis Vuitton, and Versace, knock-offs of brand name luxury goods continue to be sold openly on street corners in major cities around the world.Take Malaysia, for example. In Bukit Bintang, the well-known shopping district of the capital city, Kuala Lumpur, vendors at temporary stalls hawk fakes of such brands as Chanel, Burberry, and Gucci. Faux branded jackets, perfumes, wallets, watches, and other merchandise is available at a fraction of the cost of the real thing.Continue reading...

fashion week
Posted by Shirley Brady on September 23, 2010 03:00 PM
If color is the new hemline indicator of the global economy, then things are definitely looking brighter for 2011.
Fashion editors and buyers thinking ahead to spring/summer 2011 have migrated from New York to London Fashion Week, which the New York Times' fashion critic Cathy Horyn summarized today as being all about one thing: "color." Now, they're searching their Italian dictionaries for adjectives to describe the hues on parade.
At yesterday's start to Milan Fashion Week, Gucci aimed for a show-stopper, above, with colors inspired by Morocco and bazaar-ready styles (harem pants, anyone?) Prada, meanwhile, also embraced glaring bright tones, which you can check out after the jump along with the Milan shows for Fendi, Dolce&Gabbana and Alberta Ferretti.Continue reading...

Notice to Classified Users:
10/31/2014 Great news!! Firearm ads are back! Go to gunshop.rollanet.org to find them.
RollaNet has been working hard to return firearms ads to our classified service. While we can no longer provide gun related ads on the shopping.rollanet.org site due to Google advertising restrictions we have created a new site that does not use Google advertising.
We are pleased to announce the creation of gunshop.rollanet.org. This site is dedicated to firearms and related items. All of the ads that were removed from the shopping.rollanet.org site are now available just as they existed on 10/28. If you were a seller you can login with the same userid and password as before.
We appreciate the patience of the many RollaNet users who expressed concern about losing the firearm ad service. We understand the frustration including ours with the position Google placed us in. However, without the advertising revenue the classified service would not be possible.
10/28/2014 Effective immediately, you will notice a change to our Product Listings. We have deleted our Firearms category and ads that fall within this category.
This is a business decision only and does not reflect personal or political views of RollaNet or its employees. As a non-profit organization we depend on income from ads to provide our Classified services to the community, and in order to continue doing so we are simply complying with their advertising policies.
Going forward, we are no longer accepting new ads for the sale of firearms, weapons and weapon accessories. This includes but is not limited to the sales of ammunition, gun parts, hardware, pistols, rifles, BB guns, sporting guns, air guns, blow guns, and stun guns. This policy also prohibits the placement of ads which sell explosives, including fireworks.
If your ad was removed, and you purchased special features or have a subscription that you will no longer need, please contact us to request a refund.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused.
* RollaNet was notified on 10/28/2014 of the non-compliance advertising issue and our deadline to comply is close of business 10/30/2014. RollaNet has taken the necessary steps to continue to provide the classified service within this deadline. RollaNet management is in the process of reviewing possible alternatives to restore firearm classified sales. We understand this decision is upsetting to many of our loyal supporters and we are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. We appreciate your patience as we work through our alternatives.

Elephants - tackling the issues operators don't want (or don't know how) to confront
November 4, 2014
t's a curious expression, but 'elephants in the room' is a neat way of describing subjects which everyone knows about but aren't discussed because no one knows how to deal with them.

Not all of them will apply to all operators, but I'm sure most will be recognized as unresolved... Read more >

This can manifest itself both in terms of complexity in the network and at an organizational level. As an executive in a network operator, how do you manage these multiple layers of complexity? Is it realistic to think that you really can simplify the way you operate, or should you just come to terms with the fact that complexity is an inevitable... Read more >

Although I think Trestman will make the final decision as late as possible to give every chance. I'm thinking somebody will become the frontrunner for the starting job before we play any preseason game. The Tribune camp report is the first I've heard of Steltz having had groin surgery in offseason. Long should be up to strength soon. Very glad it is not anything more serious.

The West Country region
Cornwall's visitors are constantly tempted back to the beautiful coastline, tiny fishing villages, hidden coves and the world-class surfing. Whatever the reason, Cornwall has long cemented its place as one of Britain's premier holiday destinations.
The ancient village of Tregony is situated at the head of the attractive Roseland Peninsula, and it is made up of a main street populated with old Cornish properties. Tregony is in a wonderful position for discovering the many attractions that this region has to offer, including the world famous biomes of the Eden Project, the fascinating National Maritime Museum at Falmouth and the Lost Gardens of Heligan. The impressive Cathedral city of Truro is also close by and offers a shopping centre, restaurants and a theatre and ancient cobbled streets. A number of safe, sandy beaches are to be found nearby, and the coastal path that meanders over the cliffs and down through the coves offers some great walking opportunities through incredible scenery. The popular surfers' destination of the wild north coast is an easy drive away for a day on the waves.

About 900 police officers raided mosques, prayer rooms and homes across Austria early Friday in an operation against suspected jihadi recruiters and alleged financiers of the ISIS terror group, local media reported. Prosecutors confirmed to NBC News in a statement that 13 people were arrested in the raids. The raids were the culmination of a two-year investigation into people suspected of recruiting young people to fight in Syria. A Vienna-based Bosnian preacher, who was the main suspect, was among those arrested, according to the media reports. Get More at NBC News
AP Kim Jong Un's sister, Kim Yo Jong, took on a senior position in the ruling Workers' Party on Thursday, state media said. The younger Kim, 27, is now vice director of the Propaganda and Agitation Department, which handles ideological messaging through the media, arts, and culture. Speculation of Kim Yo Jong's role in the secretive state occurred after her older brother disappeared from the public view for more than a month. "All roads lead to Comrade Yo Jong," an unnamed South Korean intelligence source said. Get More at NBC News
Getty Images Pope Francis arrived in Turkey's capital on Friday and condemned ISIS's assault on Christians and other religious minorities in Iraq and Syria. The Pope urged Muslim leaders to speak out against extremists who use Islam as a tool for terror. Francis met with Turkish officials upon his arrival in Ankara and made remarks at President Recep Tayyip Erodgan's new $615-million palace: "Fanaticism and fundamentalism, as well as irrational fears which foster misunderstanding and discrimination, need to be countered by the solidarity of all believers." Erdogan complained that Islamophobia was rising in the West and prejudices against Muslims were helping fuel radical Islamists. Get More at NBC News

AP It will be a quiet Black Friday on Ferguson's West Florissant Avenue. The city's commercial strip has been devastated by rioting and looting. Now, a haze of doubt hangs over many workers and merchants there who wonder whether their businesses can survive the terrible toll, NBC News reported. "To be honest with you, I'm lost now," said Mohamad Yaacoub, whose store, Sam's Meat Market, was looted in August and was nearly burned to the ground on Monday. "The exterior brick walls are the only salvageable chunks. The roof is gone. "I'm not sure money-wise. Money-wise, it's just too hard. Several national franchises were torched as well, including a Little Caesars Pizza, a Walgreens, an AutoZone, and a Public Storage facility, some of the estimated 25 structure fires in Ferguson.
