Lions saddened to learn of Alex Karras' condition
Alex Karras' condition has deteriorated and the NFL team he played for is extending its sympathies.
AP Sports Writer
Alex Karras' condition has deteriorated and the NFL team he played for is extending its sympathies.
The Detroit Free Press and Detroit News reported the former All-Pro defensive lineman and actor has been given only a few days to live because of recent kidney failure.
"The entire Detroit Lions family is deeply saddened to learn of the news regarding the condition of one of our all-time greats, Alex Karras," Lions president Tom Lewand said in a statement released by the team late Monday night. "Perhaps no player in Lions history attained as much success and notoriety for what he did after his playing days as did Alex.
The 77-year-old Karras has been suffering from dementia. He is among the many former NFL players suing the league regarding the treatment of head injuries. Detroit drafted him 10th overall out of Iowa in 1958 and he was a standout for 12 seasons.
Karras may be even better well known for his work as an actor, including being a lovable father in the 1980s sitcom "Webster." He also played the role of Mongo in the 1974 comedy classic "Blazing Saddles," in which he said, "Mongo only pawn in game of life," and punched out a horse.
Recently, his wife said his quality of life has been made worse because of head injuries sustained during his playing career.
Susan Clark said earlier this year that her husband couldn't drive after loving to get behind the wheel and he could no longer remember recipes for some of his favorite Italian and Greek dishes he used to cook.
Clark, who also played the wife of Karras' character on "Webster," has said he was formally diagnosed with dementia several years ago and has had symptoms for more than a dozen years. She and Karras were among those who filed suit nearly six months ago in U.S. District Court in Philadelphia.
"This physical beating that he took as a football player has impacted his life, and therefore it has impacted his family life," Clark said earlier this year. "He is interested in making the game of football safer and hoping that other families of retired players will have a healthier and happier retirement."
The NFL has said it did not intentionally seek to mislead players and has taken action to better protect players and to advance the science of concussion management and treatment.
Karras played his entire NFL career with the Lions before retiring in 1970 at age 35. He was a first-team All-Pro in 1960, 1961 and 1965, and he made the Pro Bowl four times. He missed the 1963 season when he was suspended by NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle in a gambling probe. Karras was recognized by the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a defensive tackle on the All-Decade Team of the 1960s.
"We know Alex first and foremost as one of the cornerstones to our Fearsome Foursome defensive line of the 1960s and also as one of the greatest defensive linemen to ever play in the NFL," Lewand said. "Many others across the country came to know Alex as an accomplished actor and as an announcer during the early years of `Monday Night Football.'
"We join his legions of fans from both sports and entertainment in prayer and support for Alex, his wife Susan, and his entire family during this most difficult time."

They are pretty decent pistols. I have a Witness Elite Match in .45, it's a keeper.
The positives:
Accurate & reliable and it looks good.
Essentially a copy of the proven CZ design.
The fact that you can order caliber conversion kits is attractive too.
The negatives:
EAA CS has developed a reputation for douchiness on occasion. OTOH, I've not needed anything from them.
They aren't really that popular. Fine, you say? Accessories and parts aren't growing on trees. When you do find stuff, it's not cheap.
They have experienced price creep. Screaming bargain? Not as much as they used to be. There are some good pistols sharing their price range. Stoeger Cougar comes to mind.
I had an elit match also . very accurate with the option of buying other upper kits in 5 differnt calibers too. Way to heavy for carry but a heck of a match /range pistol.
Check out henningshootsguns for everthing witness. brian enos forum for a more competive shootes witness site.
I'd take my elite match over anything in its price range. Great gun. I've got the 10mm and it shoots like a dream. It really doesn't get much better at that cost, and I've paid more for less pistol. As for accessories, what is there? It's got a pic rail, and there's plenty of sights and grips for it.
The ones I have had have been great firearms. The reason I don't havebone now is because the slides are so short. My big hands have trouble gripping something that small...prolly the reason I pee on the wall.
I was looking at them in 10mm. I've seen a lot of people say the frames crack on them to often to trust it in the 10mm.
Older pistols broke more often not so much with the new ones. You do still need to up the weight of the recoil spring if shooting hotter ammo. Thats something some don't do and they can pay for it.

This morning, Ann Curry interviewed me on the Today show. Thrilling! (Also slightly terrifying.)
I can't bear to watch myself on television, so I haven't watched my part -- though I really enjoyed the conversation. But the highlight, for me, was the short video Today created of me talking about my epiphany that "The days are long, but the years are short," accompanied by photos and footage of my daughter. When they played it in the studio as the introduction to the interview, I couldn't watch or listen, because I knew I'd become overwhelmed by emotion.

McIntyre Ski Area workshops aimed at instructing the ski instructors
But soon the air temperature will fall below freezing, and snowfall will get measured in feet. At least that's the hope of ski athletes and coaches, who gathered in Manchester this weekend for workshops and presentations put on by the Eastern region of the United States Ski and Snowboard Association.
Coughlin was among about 35 ski coaches who received Level 300 training on Monday at the McIntyre Ski Area. The Level 300 skiing encompasses the training received at academies, colleges and high-level competitions, said Ross Boisvert, general manager and vice president at McIntyre.
The McIntyre program followed workshops at the Radisson hotel, where the Ski and Snowboard Association spoke about standardizing racing programs at ski mountains, said Harley O'Brien, who coaches young teenagers at Ragged Mountain.
"We deal with this all the time when we're on the hill with the kids," he said.
Boisvert said McIntyre plans to open a new trail this year, which will include some glades and a terrain park. He said the mountain will start making snow as soon as possible after Thanksgiving.

Originally written on Two Guys, a Glove and a Coke Bottle | Last updated 11/17/14
Yasiel Puig is going to be a pain for a long, long time. A long time. An incredibly long time. He's really good. He hits baseballs very hard. He's also fast. Also he's 22 years old, and will be a blue terror until 2018. This must be how other teams feel about Tim Lincecum or Brian Wilson or Buster Posey, when it's just not fair that they get to have this player every day for a tiny fraction of what they're worth. Maybe he'll come crashing down. Maybe he'll have the best season in recent history. Either way, he's not going away. At the very least, it's nice to see the starting pitching get back on track. Don't look now, but the starters have given up three runs or fewer for the past nine starts, since the last game in Atlanta. The Giants are down to the fifth best runs/game in the NL, and the fifth-worst pitching by ERA. I still think that the hitting won't stay this good, and the pitching won't stay this bad, so I predict both of those numbers heading toward the league average, especia

Snowden: "no relationship" with Russian government
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Former U.S. National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden told a U.S. television interviewer on Wednesday he was not under the control of Russia's government and had given Moscow no intelligence documents after nearly a year of asylum there.
"I have no relationship with the Russian government at all," Snowden said in an interview with NBC News, his first with a U.S. television network. "I'm not supported by the Russian government. I'm not taking money from the Russian government. I'm not a spy."
The remarks by Snowden, whose leaks about highly classified U.S. surveillance programs shook the NSA and prompted limited reforms by President Barack Obama, were his most extensive to date on his relations with his host government.
Current and former U.S. intelligence officials have said it is unlikely Russian security services have not squeezed Snowden for secrets.
"I think he is now being manipulated by Russian intelligence," former NSA director Keith Alexander said last month.
But Snowden - who said he wants to return to the United States - said he destroyed classified materials before transiting to a Moscow airport, where he was prevented from onward travel.
"I took nothing to Russia, so I could give them nothing," he told NBC's Brian Williams in the hour-long interview.
Later in the interview, Snowden briefly criticized the crackdown on freedom of expression under Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Casting himself as a defender of privacy and civil liberties, he deemed it "frustrating" to "end up stuck in a place where those rights are being challenged in ways that I would consider deeply unfair."
Snowden, who fled to Hong Kong and then Moscow last year, is believed to have accessed about 1.5 million secret documents, U.S. officials have said, although how many he actually took is unclear. The leaked documents revealed massive programs run by the NSA that gathered information on emails, phone calls and Internet use including, in many cases, by Americans.
He was charged last year in the United States with theft of government property, unauthorized communication of national defense information and willful communication of classified intelligence to an unauthorized person.
"If I could go anywhere in the world, that place would be home," Snowden said.
U.S. officials said he was welcome to return to the United States if he wanted to face justice for leaking details of massive U.S. intelligence-gathering programs.
Secretary of State John Kerry invited Snowden to "man up and come back to the United States." "The bottom line is this is a man who has betrayed his country, who is sitting in Russia, an authoritarian country where he has taken refuge," Kerry told the CBS "This Morning" program on Wednesday.
Snowden made clear he would not return to the United States and hope for the best. He said he would not simply "walk into a jail cell," and that if his one-year asylum in Russia, which expires on Aug. 1, "looks like it's going to run out, then of course I would apply for an extension."
The Guardian newspaper quoted Ben Wizner, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union and legal adviser to Snowden, responding to Kerry's comments. Wizner said it would be impossible for Snowdon to argue that his disclosures had served the common good if he returned home to face the current Espionage Act charges.
He also said Snowden would run the risk of facing numerous additional charges for each document that has been published.
"The exposure that he faces is virtually unlimited under this," Wizner said.
In one odd moment in the NBC interview, Snowden expressed sympathy for working-level NSA employees who have been castigated as a result of his leaks.
"People have demonized the NSA to a point that's too extreme," he said, adding that the problem is with senior-level officials who expand their surveillance powers without public debate.

Forget for a moment that Google has managed to list this business three times. For me the question is: How did Google Maps manage to place these three listings of the same business, with ostensibly the same address at three different map locations?
Google Maps: MyMaps Missing In Action – Google remains Quiet
Updated 12/10/2008 7:00 AM:Last night, Lior of the My Maps Team posted below that the problem has been fixed. Maps Guide Adam noted it as well yesterday mid afternoon. There was a sigh of relief in the groups that was audible even in western New York.
Today in the Google Maps Troubleshooting Group there were numerous complaints about serious problems with lost MyMaps.
Here is a sampling from today's topics:

Lots of folks have committed a great deal of work to Google MyMaps and now their work seems to be missing. The lack of communication from Google is leading to a strong sense of despair amongst MyMaps users. For a large, smart company, Google can act awfully dumb sometimes, particularly when confronted with this sort of PR problem. The problem was best summed up in this plaintive post:

AT&T Hopes for Single Smartphone OS (PC World) –
PC World
This was reported quite widely last week and the implications are interesting. This doesn't affect devices like the iPhone or the Blackberry using AT&T's network. It applies to which OS is on AT&T's branded phones and essentially pits Microsoft Mobile against Google Android and the now free Symbian OS from Nokia. It makes sense that they would want to support just one OS internally for both design and customer support issues. Since ATT has such large market share in the US, a decision could significantly impact the long term efforts of each of these three to be a significant force in US handset sales. Which do you think they will pick and why?

Unlike some local search firms, PromoteLocal is so confident of their skills that they proclaim: "Don't Just Get Listed, Dominate Your Competition With: First page placement in the Google Local Listings every time!, New SEO technology used only by PromoterLocal". Elsewhere on their site they guarantee first place listings.
Their website doesn't happen to list their address. Whois indicates that they are located in Orem, UT. In today's Google Maps for Business Owner Group they were reported to be spamming in Sunnyvale and in Fairfax.
Google Maps seems to think that they possess somewhere on the order of 7,107 locations across the United States with over 400 in the NYC area alone and with business names like "Always On Top Marketing Houston" and "Advertise Real Estate" in Bowling Green.
Perhaps it is a generational thing or a lack of vision on my part, but why would a company predicate a business strategy on such a thin "advantage? I can understand getting laid off by a large corporation. I can't understand laying off yourself when your lame business idea is found out. Why put any effort into such a short term process? Is the cash really that good?
Putting the Google back in Christmas
After having just returned from a visit with my in-laws I got a particular chuckle from the idea I might want to "find the best restaurant in town to impress your in-laws".
In our neck of the woods, Christians take out billboards suggesting that Christ be put back in Christmas (despite the historical irony that Christians didn't actually start this particular seasonal holiday). Given Google's new financial realities, perhaps Google should target them and suggest an adwords campaign instead of the billboard?

Adwords Appearing for Competitors in Embedded Maps – Martijn Beijk, martijnbeijk.com
Martijn points out that embedded Google Maps on your website could very well now include Adword ads to your competitor's website. I presume that this is part of Google effort to push more ads out of late but their appearance on embedded Maps seems inappropriate.

Write a Bad Review … Get Sued – Matt McGee, smallbusinesssem.com
Consumerist today tells the story of Chris Norberg, a guy who left a negative review on Yelp about Dr. Steven Biegel, a chiropractor in San Francisco.
It looks like Norberg deleted his negative review from Yelp after getting some kind of cease and desist letter from Biegel's attorney, but Norberg did leave this review/comment on Biegel's business listing summarizing some of his complaints and explaining why the original review is gone.
Google Maps Redesign allows easier reporting of inappropriate Streetviews
The recent StreetView upgrade to Google Maps to more closely resemble the functionality of Streetview on the iPhone, has also improved the ability to report inappropriate Streetview scenes. In the Google Support Groups for Maps, the invasive StreetView scenes were a common complaint.
The link from StreetView takes the user to an interactive form that allows for a detailed complaint to be filed and a precise location in StreetView to be identified:
Privacy concerns with StreetView have been common and at least one German city has claimed that they will deny Google permission to take StreetView images. I wonder if this improved complaint capability is a (minimal) response to these concerns?
The form expands and allows selection of a number of specific concerns related to the above categories:

Google Updates Google Maps API TOS to calm the storm in Great Britain?
With Google's last upgrade to the API TOS on November 12th, a storm of protest and complaint was unleashed in Great Britain. The Ordnance Survey had essentially pulled all of their publicly available data from use with Google Maps due to the TOS and the Guardian and BBC jumped into the fray on each side of the fray. Some API developers suggested the need to pull down their Mashups.
Google has released a new Maps API TOS this evening that appears to deal with the problems. Here is Google's take from the Google Geo Developer Blog:
That format change appears to have called attention to the "License From You to Google" – section 11 in the November 12th update. That content license has always been part of the Google Maps API Terms of Service, because it is contained in the Google Terms of Service. Both the original and the November 12th updated Terms of Service relied on that provision to ensure Google received a sufficient content license to provide the Maps API service and to promote the service, including by highlighting excellent mashups as we did here. That section does not provide Google a license to all of the content on your Maps API site to use for any purpose, nor is that how we have treated the content from existing Maps API sites that were developed under the terms that existed prior to the November 12th update. Section 11(b), which we initially included in the November 12th update, created a lot of confusion among our API developers who are publishing licensed content. In 11(b) we were trying to be clear that we wanted a broader license from Maps API developers for use of business listings information. However, given the confusion that resulted, we removed that language from today's revision of the terms.
Here is the new section 11:
11.1 Content License. Google claims no ownership over Your Content, and You retain copyright and any other rights you already hold in Your Content. By submitting, posting or displaying Your Content in the Service, you give Google a perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, adapt, modify, translate, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute Your Content through the Service and as search results through Google Services. This license is solely for the purpose of enabling Google to operate the Service, to promote the Service (including through public presentations), and to index and serve such content as search results through Google Services. If you are unable or unwilling to provide such a license to Your Content, please see the FAQ for information on configuring your Maps API Implementation to opt out.
11.2 Brand Features License. You grant to Google a nontransferable, nonexclusive license during the Term to use Your Brand Features to advertise that you are using the Service.
11.3 Authority to Grant Licenses. You confirm and warrant to Google that you have all the rights, power and authority necessary to grant the above licenses.
It seems to clearly delineate that Google DOES NOT HAVE a perpetual license to the data and should, if I understand the bulk of the conflict, ease the Ordnance Survey's concerns. That being said it still requires that map creator have a license to the content. Barry Hunter of nearby.org.uk and a map developer, noted to me in an email that it doesn't solve his problems with the Nov 12 update:
My initial reaction is – good but not far enough. It might quell the OS'es issue with it – not sure. But pretty sure it doesnt quell mine.
The main issue to me (and perhaps the Os) is that Google wants a specific licence to the content – I am still unable to give that in the case of the mashups on nearby.org.uk and geograph.org.uk . Its not my data so how do i give google a licence to it?
Although the wording does more specifically say *your content* which might be a get out, if i dot have any content of my own – its all third party – then I dont give a licence to it.
From where I sit, this last issues of guaranteeing to Google that you have the license is a CYA tactic on their part to avoid YouTube like lawsuits as it allows Google to push any copyright issues back down to the Map developer.
MapQuest: "We've Come Out Of Hibernation"
I have recently had an extensive interview with Mark Law, VP of Development & Mark Law, Vice President of Product Development and Christian Dwyer, Senior Vice President & General Manager, at MapQuest, Inc, It is now published at SearchEngineLand: MapQuest: "We've Come Out Of Hibernation".
Mapquest, the long time leader in mapping has been on a recent upgrade warpath as it were. They have added a number of new features all the while attempting to keep their very loyal user base happy. Do they have what it takes to make it a competitive race in Maps and Local? Let me know what you think.
Search Trends for Mapquest & Google Maps –
Many folks in the search marketing world, myself included, have noted that, in most Hitwise reports on Map usage, Google Maps was gaining on on Mapquest and would soon surpass them in user visits. In a recent interview (soon to be published at SEL) I asked Mark Law what he would say about the Hitwise reports of Google Map's market share gains?
Mark: We see Google Maps in many ways an endpoint of a Search query and because of that, their growth is inherent to their business. The people that come to MapQuest are here for the explicit purpose of finding Where is it, How do I get there and What's nearby. Google Maps may be gaining ground in terms of UVs but our user engagement and value proposition is very different than Google Maps. Visitors to MapQuest are far more engaged as we're actually a destination website.
Consumers actively look and search for MapQuest. In fact, MapQuest is the 8th most searched term, according to Hitwise. Google Maps is 57th.
MapQuest also has a deeper level of User engagement as demonstrated by 113% more pages viewed per visitor per month than Google maps and visitors spending 78% more minutes (13.8 compared to 7.8 minutes) on MapQuest verses Google Maps.
I was curious about his response and wanted to explore the idea of what people were in fact searching for and did the trends bear out Mark's optimism. Google Trends, while not a perfect source for data, seemed a reasonable source of the information and a good proxy for user intent if not action.
It appears that in North America, Mapquest is very strong and has not given an inch to Google Maps on the search front. World wide that doesn't appear to be the case. The following chart was generated in Google Trends using the branded phrases: Mapquest, Map Quest, Google Maps and the more generic phrase: Maps.
Search Trends – Mapquest, Map Quest, Google Maps and Maps – US Only
This search seems to reflect the fact that Mapquest has very strong brand equity and loyatly in the U.S. The chart for Canada shows very similar trends. The trends for the phrases Mapquest & Map Quest, have shown consistent strength and even some upward direction over the past 4 years. The search on Google Maps, after the initial spike, has not had a dramatic upswing and does appear to be moving in a direction to overtake Mapquest.
The charts worldwide however show a dramatically different trend that very much mirrors the Hitwise charts.

Saddle up. This is a good morning to put a new idea or plan into action.
Clever Mercury makes a sextile to determined Mars at 8:01 AM increasing your awareness of new possibilities. Plus, the Moon will link up with both planets in harmony at noon. Yes, yes, yes.
This is an excellent Skywatch for important appointments, meetings, interviews and travel.
Note that the Moon squares over-optimistic Jupiter at 4:18 PM. The mood quickly passes and Luna sails out into calm seas until she meets up with serious Saturn just before midnight.
Clear skies follow.

I made this moderate size duffle bag with matching toiletry/makeup bag for a family member for Christmas. She wanted bright and fun fabric and loved purple.
I bought some fun duck cloth and added light purple webbing for straps and for the zipper. I added pockets on the side of the duffle and embroidered B's in purple. I did not line the duffle because I made a ripstop bag to go inside to put her suit in. I added a double pocket on the inside of the suit bag and hand embroidered the front. I used an old not used shoelace and a toggle. The toiletry/makeup bag I used the same fabric combo but I lined this. All of this fits in the duffle plus a pair of flip flops and a towel. I also made a removable purple suede tassle. I used a couple different ideas for the duffle and added some of my own. Oh almost forgot to say on the caolina pattern for the US folk use a 3/8" not a 5/8" sa and trim the sides when you put on the seam binding it will work way better.
Since this is a duffle set for the gym for her swin class I would pair this with for her Beach Blanket Bingo Piece Plus Size for the ModCloth Handmade contest

Nashville, Tenne...
These shorts started out as pajama bottoms using vintage Simplicity 4312
Midway through making these, I realized that even though I had adjusted the original size 12 pattern for my measurements, the legs were still really wide and the waist was about an inch to small to comfortably fit over my hips.
I ended up making pleats at the outer thigh and creating a belt-like tie waist to add some much needed wiggle room. Keeping with my sewing goal for the year, I used French seams so that the inside looks nice and pretty:) I love my new shorts and I learned how to make a more professional looking garment and how to effectually save something from the trash pile through alterations while making them!

Jaunikis Jonas sako teip is a lithuania-based meme, that began after a video of a "Jonas the Groom" went viral on youtube. "Teip" is a dialect pronunciation of lithuanian "taip" = "yes". Unusual appearance of a village macho "that is such a hot guy, that he doesn't heat his shack during the coldest times" that asked a tv show to find him "not one, but two wifes", combined with almost one-word dictionary immediately pushed Jonas into Lithuanian stardom.
With almost a million views (over a million, if counting duplicates), video is one of the most viewed of lithuanian origin. Video spawned a number of photoshoped images, usually based on groom's appearance or the word "Teip", making it one if the most prominent lithuanian memes.

SWOTing the Jets at the Quarter Pole
MC Hockey

Before heading into Friday's contest with the Hurricanes, the Jets had played 21 games, basically the quarter-pole of the 82-game regular season. At 8-9-4 at that point, the Jets need to pick it up if the long-starved fans of the city with the windiest intersection in Canada are to see playoffs as a reality in the Phoenix-like return (Editorial Update: Jets won 3-1 over Carolina to hit .500 on Friday November 25).

Whether or not it's fair to Claude Noel, the question has to be asked? How long before Randy Carlyle is (a) hired by the Winnipeg Jets and (b) how long before Carlyle takes over from Claude Noel as coach of the Jets?
The former is anyone's guess. While the Jets will probably deny any interest in Carlyle, the fact remains that he is beloved by both chairman and owner Mark Chipman and the team's assistant GM, and Chipman's close confidant, Craig Heisinger.

Ghostface Killah - Columbus Exchange (Skit) / Crack Spot Lyrics
Ghostface Killah – Columbus Exchange (Skit) / Crack Spot Lyrics
["Dusty Williams"]
While in Bolivia, Tony Starks has bumped heads with drug czar Columbo and moved over ten pounds of raw fishscale…
[Ghostface Killah]
Yo, make sure y'all turn that water down
What y'all watchin over there?
Is that the Honeymooner marathon?
That shit been on all night right?
I smell the coke cookin, Dr. Glove with the eagle in the safe
Woodrow the Basehead I surprised him with the first taste
He reached for his pipe, pulled his sleeves up
Told him it was no cut to be careful, he took a hit, Woodrow damn you
His head hit the table, a few rocks fell out his pipe
He's bleedin fatal, he smell like it's so ripe
Told Trife to get him some ice, Raekwon keep your eye on his wife
Tell her to chill, feed her some white
I heard a knock three times, nervous me dropped the raw
Ol' Dirty dropped his drawer, he put his fronts back
And snatched up his coke napkin, with thick snots hangin from his nose
Had Woodrow's bitch on the floor laughin
Goodness gracious, Tony gosh
Put away the Frosted Flakes, you're killin us
The residue from the last batch we all was straight
Got my son, Chet, spent five, stayed in the house look I lost weight
See that was Crime at the door, he got mad
I don't give a fuck what he got
Niggaz can't keep comin up here, this the spot
Yo Crime you know the spot be bumpin, pardon me
Plus I'm paranoid, and you know the narcs be huntin
Niggaz probably think that Starks be frontin
Cause I spazzed out, rolled up in the stashhouse and barked on Justin
Had to size him up for bein on point, stuck now he's fucked
Told him play the window, keep your eyes on that Verizon truck
Every fiend that walk through the door, check if he wired up
No shorts, only give him a play if he buy enough
Cop ten, hit him off with a brand new stem
Our shit is mad potent, one hit they coughin up phlegm
Make sure you get that hundred beans from Pam
She popped shit in front of you daddy? Bet we gon' lace her old man
He came through sellin his TV's
X-Box and PlayStation 3, all he wanted was three
Big Frankenstein holdin his MB's
Socks hangin out, followin me
I'm tryin to hide from the D's, nigga

Boeing's recent announcement that it has decided to shut down its Connexion unit, which offers internet access in-flight via passenger laptops, has, not surprisingly, been less than enthusiastically received by its airline customers.
The manufacturer has said it was disappointed with the level of demand for the product and intends to "work with customers on an orderly phase-out of the Connexion by Boeing service".
There are currently 11 airlines flying with Connexion, with carriers from Asia at the technological sharp end in having their aircraft fitted with the high-speed broadband service. Asian airlines offering Connexion include South Korea's Asiana Airlines and Korean Air; Taiwan's China Airlines; All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines in Japan; and Singapore Airlines.
German flag carrier Lufthansa is Connexion's biggest customer with 62 of its 80 long-haul aircraft now equipped with the service. The airline says: "Boeing has assured us that the service will continue until the end of the year."
Lufthansa remains interested in the service and does not rule out looking at other possible partners to enable it to continue to offer it, but admits there does not seem to be an answer at the moment.
Singapore Airlines and Japan Airlines have both expressed their disappointment, and there have been mutterings about the possibility of claiming compensation for the withdrawal of the service.
So the question that now remains is; Whither in-flight entertainment? Perhaps it is in the realm of mobile phone and Blackberry use that there is real value to be had. In-flight mobile telephony service provider OnAir is set to announce three more airline triallists over the next two months, following Air France, BMI and TAP Portugal's commitment to offer the service from early next year.
Chief executive George Cooper says the company is preparing to announce three more airline commitments soon, all of which will cover European short-haul operations.
Rival provider AeroMobile says it is now working with three undisclosed carriers in the Middle East and Asia-Pacific. Two of these are planning fleet-wide deployment on long-haul aircraft, while the other will start with a trial to gauge demand. AeroMobile expects two of these airlines to be offering the system this year.

SCRANTON — U.S. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Scranton, introduced legislation in the Senate on Thursday that would improve how incidents of known or suspected child abuse are reported.
The Speak up to Protect Every Abused Kid Act would require every state to adopt laws so that incidents are reported to the property authorities.
The bill amends the Child Abuse Prevention and Treatment Act (CAPTA) "with a singular focus on child abuse and neglect prevention and response."
According to the 2012 Department of Public Welfare Annual Child Abuse report, there were 550 reports of child abuse in Luzerne County in 2012, with 117 of the reports being substantiated.
In Lackawanna County, there were 517 reports, with 64 of them being substantiated.
Casey referenced the Jerry Sandusky scandal at Penn State as a reason for the needed change in reporting child abuse.
"We need to act and we need to listen to the experts in the field that deal with this horrific circumstance every day of the week," Casey said.
The new bill would:
• Set a federal floor for mandated reporting of child abuse and neglect. Some mandated reporters would include medical professionals, school employees, law enforcement officers and social service agencies.
• Direct reports of child abuse to the proper authorities. The bill would specify that reports of child abuse must be made to either law enforcement or child protective services.
• Promote new approaches and techniques to improve reporting. The bill would expand the responsibility of task forces so they consider new approaches to improve reporting and make recommendations accordingly.
• Evaluate states' progress on mandatory reporting. The bill would require the Department of Human and Health Services (HHS) to report to Congress after four years to assess the changes made by the bill.
States would have two years after the date of enactment to come in compliance with the law.

It can only hurt one party if you get on the unpopular side of an issue.
Time to stop wasting our tax dollars and law enforcement plus prison costs on pot.
It seems the banking issue is going to worked out soon enough
The federal government is working to make it easier for money generated by state-approved marijuana businesses to enter the financial system.
Wow, this means that state pot laws could inadvertently end the Fed.... Or force a national debate to change the federal laws in then banking industry.
Those who want to continue to be a nanny or are afraid their funding will be cut will fight this hard.
The will of the people is little concern for them.
Yep. And yet the (R)s in this state are just playing right into it.
Unreal. But also pretty typical. Why let a good wedge issue go to waste for the sake of sane policy. It's why I find myself thinking the New World Order/Conspiracy crew isn't as crazy as some think. I mean, how else can you explain the fixation (by both parties) on dog-and-pony shows like this?
I didn't see the assumptions in the post, that you cite. "Everyone ?"
Didn't see that.
And yes - shocker - people fire one up, to achieve intoxication. Call it buzz, call it high, call it whatever, that's what it's for.
Sorry to necropost on this thread, but I thought this memo that just came to light might be of interest to folks.
And if Crist wins because of it, the (R)s will have nobody to blame but themselves. The (D)'s created the wedge issue and the (R)s stepped right in and played their role like a bunch of mindless lemmings.
I know a lot of conservatives (Tea Party) that agree with medical MJ.
Everything after "I think...," was an "assumption." More polite, I felt, than telling him he was pulling his data from his rear.
True, he didn't specify "everyone," just the vague "people."
I'm aware of pot's intended use. Same as liquor and any number of pharmaceuticals.
Pot is a far less destructive drug than alcohol.
what about recreational use?
I won't discuss experience, but will say that I have known plenty of folk who fire one up before going to work, or in the morning just to get the day started, whether for work or school . . . or 'effing off.
I have known fewer alcoholics who start the day knocking back a couple. But they are out there too.
I would say that there are more a.m. doobie doers than breakfast of champions professional drinkers. But that's just my anecdotal math.
No assumptions, either.
change of heart. i don't agree. i think there are lots and lots of alcoholics drinking before and during work (flask, anyone?) hence "AA"
also: oddly enough, around friends, one is more likely to admit to a morning puff, than a shot of whisky in your coffee. can't explain the phenomenon.
i know I have to HAVE coffee...in the a.m., and sometimes afternoon. i can't sit down to 'relax' until the day is done. and i'm telling you: i'm pretty sure i reflect Most of Us.
That says more about the crowd you hang around with than anything. According to SAMHSA there are 7.6 million Americans who use marijuana daily, not have a problem necessarily, just use marijuana daily. There are 18 million Americans who are alcoholics, not just drink alcohol daily, but have a problem. Yet somehow you know more people who start their day off with a joint than start their day off with a drink? Like I said, strange crowd you keep company with.
Operative phrase from referent post: "have known."
And really, there is no distinction in people "using marijuana daily" from people "drinking alcohol daily", who allegedly don't have a problem with either. I would say both groups actually have a problem with both, or an underlying problem with something.
So you used to hang out with a bunch of stoners? Either ways it says more about the people you know (or knew) than it does about the number of people who have problems with alcohol vs. marijuana.
And my wife has a glass of wine every night - has a great job, a good life, and plenty of friends and family. If that daily glass of wine is somehow a problem, I fail to see it.
I don't see how this would have any impact on the Federal Reserve.

Tomorrow I am running the race for the cure. If you would like to donate to hopefully help find a cure, my page is at www.active.com/donate/komenneny2010/standup .
I set a very modest goal, which has already been met. When I decided to run the race, I didn't even think about donations -- but they provide you with the page for free, so I thought why not?
It took a while, but I did think of what I wanted to tell you yesterday, but it goes with today's blog so I held off.
There's a vegetarian expo in the same place as my race (a bit after the race). And it's free! Now talk about synchronicity. The only problem is I don't really want to hang around in sweaty clothes, especially sweaty tights.
But it's free . . . and I'm already there . . . I'll bring a change of clothes, but then I have to walk back to the car, carry them back, carry my other clothes around . . . I suspect I'll go sweaty.
How lazy is that after a race? Like the women I saw here, neighbors, who apparently run together. One was dropping one off at her home. And then drove next door to her house!
My husband & I, who were walking the dogs, got a good belly laugh out of that. Seriously, you just went running, and you can't be bothered to walk from one house to the next?
Tomorrow's forecast is for beautiful, perfect fall running weather. I sure hope they got it right, cause it's pouring again here, and it poured yesterday morning, too. We did get a break later in the day, so I was able to get the dogs out for a short walk, and it was only mildly drizzling when I went swimming last night.
Only it was back to school night. Remember the last scene from "Field of Dreams", with all the headlights from the cars as they are approaching the field? It was like that, I swear! Had to park on the grass and then thought I wasn't gonna get back off, but obviously I managed.
I learn the best stuff at my WW meeting tho. Not necessarily about losing weight. Yesterday I asked a woman who I thought I heard say she was going to run the race too if she was, so we'll try to hook up tomorrow (altho she's a walker, but it's still nice to have someone to chat with beforehand).
I didn't think there was packet pickup the day before -- there's nothing on the Website -- apparently it's in your confirmation email which I got weeks ago & hadn't looked at. So you could pick up your packet Thursday & Friday. It was pouring cats & dogs, but I had to run some errands anyway, so I thought why not? and just did it.
Now just got to figure out the chip thingee. My first race had the chip in the bib. But at least I don't have to figure it out at the race or stick myself with pins!
I picked up a book at the library yesterday; "The Ultrasimple Diet". I listened to an audio by the author the other day. Essentially it's sort of a detox diet, but you do actually get to eat food. Just no sweet treats other than fruit. I'm considering it for while my husband is in Japan. Not sure I can go a week without treats -- I'll bet I can't -- but I think I could stick to most of it, and with DH away, it's the perfect time.
And lastly, as we were chatting before my meeting about the race, one regular -- who's quite heavy & basically also on a long plateau -- said she couldn't run. A bladder thing.
I encouraged her just a little bit. Said I couldn't run 2 years ago either. I wish I'd had more time. It's true I've never been as overweight as her, but I wanted to tell her I know people just as heavy who've become runners without waiting to lose the weight. I wanted to tell her about Galloway and about C25K, but there wasn't time. But maybe I planted a seed. She sees members running races, our leader is a runner and talks about it sometimes. Maybe we will inspire her.
Who will you inspire today?
Well, frightening to me, anyway! Actually, this one isn't terrible. A swimsuit for our upcoming trip to Kauai.
The swimsuit is meant to be a surprise for my husband, which is why you're getting crappy cell phone pics. This one makes me look pregnant! This is definitely part of what I'd like to shrink during this challenge.
And this one was damn near impossible to do.
So front & back . . . not terrible. Side, not so pleasing.
Measurements (I only do waist & hips, never really saw the point of doing the rest):
Waist: 27
Hips: 36
I don't really do Halloween. Haven't dressed up since I was a kid. So why join a Halloween challenge, you ask? Well first off, a good spark buddy came up with the idea.
Secondly, I liked the challenge!
What am I hoping to get out of it? Focus! I'm hoping it will keep me focused on my goal of choosing the rights foods and not mindlessly eating, because those are the things that keep tripping me up.
I had the epiphany last week that if I could just lose a pound a week, I could be at GW in half a year. Weight loss isn't usually linear for me, but still, I realized how close it really could be, if I stay focused.
I want to stay focused and finally push through a year-long plateau! I really feel I've been doing well the last couple of weeks. Need to keep it up -- need buddies to keep cheering me on!
So far I'm doing well:
Nutrition: 3/5
Cardio: 3/5
ST: 1/5 (only do ST 3 x week, and this week will be light with a race coming up)
Support: 6/10
Blog: 10/10
Total: 23 so far! (It's only been 3 days after all). I fully expect to nail nutrition, cardio, and support. Now gotta work on the fun!
I know there was something I thought of I wanted to blog about, but right now it escapes me. I'll either add it later or add another blog if it's important enough.
I finally hit on what I thought was a good idea for a reward: songs for playlists.
What, you may ask, has that got to do with the title?
My idea was this: I am working on a streak of sweeping the laundry room floor each morning. It's where the litterboxes are. You'd think we had 20 cats, not just 2, with the amount of litter that gets onto that floor.
And laundry room + litter = not such a great idea. The problem is it's always been one of the few rooms that a litter box just sort of naturally goes into.
Well, far too often I only vacuum in there once a week or even every couple of weeks, and that really just doesn't work. Cause inevitably you drop something on the floor in there. Usually clean laundry.
So I got rid of all my old goals I wasn't tracking anyway and I put up this goal. I decided that for every 4 days I sweep, I'll get one song. Works out to about $2.50 a week.
It seemed like a good idea at the time, as so many of my ideas do.
Problem? I was looking at Fitness' list of good songs for running. They listed "Live like you're dying", which I love. Perfect. Click. Listen to the rest of the songs in the album. Now I want the whole album!
So at the rate of one song per 4 days sweeping, I'd earn that album in almost 2 months. That is too long to wait for an album. So I'm sort of stuck. Guess I'll have to think about that some more.
Now let's actually get around to the title again. I hate repetition. I hate saying the same things over and over or doing the same things over and over. Which is why I do not, not in the least, enjoy housework. For me it's not house cleaning, it's house work. The irony being that right now it's pretty much my job.
Guess what? There's a lot of repetition in trying to lose weight, too. Planning meals. Exercising. Choosing healthy foods rather than comfort foods (most of the time, anyway). Drinking water.
So one day as I'm sweeping up the cat litter, wishing I was doing anything but, it occurred to me that there will always be cat litter. There will always be something I know I need to do, but don't want to.
I think there are 2 tricks to staying motivated to do the things you know you need to do, but truly don't want to:
1. Focus on the job at hand. Be present. As I reminded a spark buddy this morning, you can't wish your life away, and that's what you do when you wish you were doing anything other than what you are doing.
2. Focus on the results. I am much, much happier when there is less cat litter on the floor. Yes, there will always be cat litter, but the truth is it doesn't take me that long to sweep it each morning. A few moments discomfort for a better laundry experience isn't too steep a price to pay. Skipping a few desserts for more energy isn't too steep a price to pay.
And I am very proud to say I had no dessert after dinner last night. Oh, I wanted one, but I didn't need one -- and I didn't really miss it. I've also chosen fruit -- plain fruit -- for dessert more often lately.
There's nothing wrong with dessert. I still eat it. I just know I need to eat a bit less of it.
What will always be in your life? How do you conquer it? What tools do you need to battle it?
My eating habits over the years have changed so much it's almost laughable.
In college, I just ate. I didn't much think about it. There were the 3 am pepperoni pizzas -- frequently. The yummy fresh-from-the-fryer donuts. The box of poptarts in one sitting when I had no one to eat with at the dining hall.
As a young married, working long hours, standing on my feet, there was the salami subs and THEN the pepperoni pizza for dinner. Chinese take out. McDonalds. Can we say fast food?
Then one day I decided to join WW. Don't ask me why -- I couldn't really tell you. There was no aha moment. No buddy to go with. I didn't even know anyone who'd ever gone, but back then, it was about the only program out there. For the first time, I learned about what good nutrition could look like.
But I still lived off of frozen meals. Low fat this & that. Spaghetti squash with tomato sauce.
Then I did begin to cook most of my own food for breakfast & dinner. Lunch, however, was still often premade from Whole Foods.
And now, it's the rare day I eat anything I didn't make other than maybe sushi and my one meal out a week (most weeks). Couldn't tell you the last time I went to a fast food place, and seriously no longer even have the desire. Not even for fries. I no longer enjoy fast food fries. Don't like pepperoni at all, either.
But it's still easy to fall into the trap of I "should" eat this because it's low in calories or fat or whatnot. Because it's the latest healthy trend. Because I can't just eat whatever I want and stay thin.
Are you looking forward to your meals? You should be. If you're not loving what you eat, how do you think you'll keep eating it for the rest of your life?
Because there's no eating this way to you hit your GW then going back to your old habits. If you do what you always did, you get what you always got.
So you have to eat the things you love NOW. But you've got to figure out how to do it in a healthy way. In a moderate way. It may mean certain things are off limits at time, it may mean that you have to weigh and measure your food, it may mean that you have to keep trying new things til you find more healthy things you do love.
Last night I served me & my husband a vegan pasta alfredo. Cause that's what I eat before a race, and I want to make sure I don't actually have to make it before my race -- all I'll have to do is heat it up on Friday (of course, it's only my second race, but hey it worked for my first).
He eyed it with real suspicion. What is that? What's in it?
Then he tasted it. Of course, then he said the dreaded words. You know, "this would really be good as a side dish with some meat". Sigh. He just can't seem to get past the idea that a meal must include some sort of animal product.
But he did eat it. The whole bowl. Even the salad. That's progress.
We aren't that far from children. We have to keep exposing ourselves to new foods. We might not like it at first. Or at second, third, or fourth taste. But sometimes things really do grow on us, and before we know it, it's something we actually crave. Something good for us we like.
So look forward to your meals. If you're dreading them, start eating new stuff. But never stop experimenting & trying new things! More than once!
I love it when the universe aligns itself for you. It's so easy to notice the negative we have a tendency to gloss over the positive.
I stopped at Sports Authority last week. I need more running tops for cooler weather. Last year I tried running outside for the very first time I think in November -- my one & only time that year! This year I intend to be running outside deeper into the winter. But I need proper gear. I have some, but not enough.
I found 2 tops I fell in love with. One was just perfect -- it had everything I love: a half zip, thumbholes, and a pocket. The other was a sort of sweatshirt, also with thumbholes, and lots of zipper pockets.
Neither was on sale. They weren't going anywhere -- there were at least a couple of smalls & mediums in both. I left empty handed; they were both pretty pricey. But I went home and got online and found a decent coupon for the store. That was part of what I wanted to do Friday when I couldn't get out.
So I went Saturday. Next Saturday's race looks to be cool, which is why I didn't want to wait for a sale (plus sometimes when I wait for a sale, my size is gone).
I dithered about the sweatshirt. Wasn't really sure I'd run in it, even tho it says right inside running! In the end, I bought it.
And I'm glad I did, cause it was absolutely perfect for my early morning swimming date this morning. Lots of zippered pockets so I could stow keys, cell phone, license. Even a hoodie that sort of zips into the collar (and it was sprinkling this morning). I'm so glad I bought it!
Swimming was good. I found the pool without too much trouble. DH said the dogs didn't bat an eyelid when I left this morning, which is also good. They're used to me going out early to run, but not to the sound of the garage door opener early in the morning!
The worst part of it is that by the time I finished the high school girls were in the locker room. So there I was stripping for a bunch of thin high school girls -- everyone's worst nightmare, right? Well, of course it made me uncomfortable, but it's a small price to pay to be able to swim inexpensively!
Yeah girls, take a good gander (which they didn't, thankfully), cause you might look like this in 30 years!
I thought getting out of there might be difficult as there was a small army of parents dropping off their kids, but it wasn't a problem at all. Everyone seemed to want to turn into the parking lot I was trying to turn out of, so that made it easy.
I am so thankful that this is available to me! It will be harder to motivate myself as the weather gets colder & colder, but it's not the first time I've gone swimming (inside) in frigid weather. Just not so early!
On the bad news front, the pain in my butt seemed to be getting better, only now it seems to have migrated. I was doing lots of stretching for what I thought the problem was, plus making sure to squat rather than bend over (which I have a bad habit of doing), and it really seemed to be helping. Only now there are some new twinges.
I'm hoping the cross training with the swimming will really help clear all that up -- eventually. Just keep me ok til Saturday, and next week I planned a week off of running anyway!
So how bout you. Do you notice it when the universe aligns itself to give you want you truly desire? Do you spend time visualizing what you want (I do!)? Are you grateful when it happens?
