Preseason MAC favorite Toledo wins at Boston College
Nov 14, 2013, 9:44 PM EST
The East Division's run of dominance in the Mid-American Conference has been well-documented, with programs such as Akron, Ohio and Kent State having a firm grip on the conference's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. The last time a team from the West earned that bid was in 2004, when Western Michigan won the conference tournament.
Tod Kowalczyk's Toledo Rockets, featuring talented players such as Rian Pearson, Julius "Juice" Brown and Loyola (MD) transfer Justin Drummond, hope to put an end to that run. And in their 95-92 win at Boston College, the Rockets showed why they're the favorites to not only win their division but the league as well.
On a night that saw Pearson, a first-team All-MAC selection, score just nine points, Brown scored a game-high 23 points to go along with ten assists, with Drummond (20) and center Nathan Boothe (17) enjoying productive nights as well. Four Toledo players scored in double figures, and as a team the Rockets shot 57.1% from the field and committed just six turnovers.
While there were some lapses on the defensive end, Toledo more than made up for those with solid execution when they had the ball. The end result: an attention-grabbing road victory that could potentially gain value as the season wears on. Yet because the semifinalists for the 2K Sports Classic have already been determined, the Rockets won't advance to Madison Square Garden (BC will, however).
As for Boston College, they're now 0-3 with losses to Providence and UMass also on the resume. Rebounding is something the Eagles need to clean up, as they went from a plus-11 margin in the first half to minus-4 by the end of the game with Toledo grabbing nearly 36% of their missed shots. Olivier Hanlan led five Eagles in double figures with 18 points, and with non-conference games against UConn, Indiana or Washington, VCU and Harvard before January (they also open ACC play in December against Maryland) BC can't afford to dig themselves too big of a hole.
Regardless of Boston College's slow start to the season this is a good win for Toledo and the MAC as well. Players such as Boothe, Drummond and J.D. Weatherspoon stepped up with Pearson kept in check, and that bodes well for the Rockets going forward.

Adobe Makes Dramatic Change to iOS App Publishing ProgramPosted by: | Comments
Adobe has been running a fairly popular service for the last few years that has been marketed towards independent authors, businesses and design studios to create enhanced eBook apps for iOS. Adobe has just confirmed that starting in May 2015, these companies will either have to find other options to publish apps, or pay thousands of dollars a month.
The Digital Publishing Suite, Single Edition puts iPad app design within reach of anyone with InDesign skills, providing an intuitive way to create unlimited apps for the iPad without writing code. This service was free to Adobe Creative Cloud members. The essence of the program was to provide an avenue to develop enhanced eBooks, cookbooks, magazines and other content using the EPUB3 framework and packaging them as dedicated apps to be sold in the Apple Newsstand or the App Store.
This move to suspend the program was not received well by a number of small business that have started to use it for their app-development pipeline.
Jason commented on the official Adobe Blog, lamenting "I just upgraded my entire design team for our non-profit org to Adobe CC, with a primary purpose being the use of DPS. We just published our first app to the app store and was planning to start scaling that up to one of our larger publications and now you're pulling the functionality. EPUB is not a viable alternative. I purchased to publish to the app store, not to iBooks where the publication is hidden away in an app that very few users even use."
Adobe has confirmed that if companies still want to create apps using their Digital Publishing Suite that they have to signup for an Enterprise Account. This is a costly endeavor as each license costs $2,875 a month. I doubt many can afford that, as the previous cost to publish apps to Apple was $49.99 per month or $19.99 to publish a single app.
The Philippines Starts to Combat Book PiracyPosted by: | Comments
The Philippines has become rather serious at combating book piracy in schools and on the consumer level. They are doing this to attract major publishers from Europe and the United States.
US based publishers have been unable to market their textbooks and print books to the Philippines because of sanctions imposed by the United States Trade Representatives 301 Report. This report basically establishes trade barriers due to flagrant abuses of intellectual property laws, such as copyright, patents and trademarks.
For the first time in twenty years due to anti-piracy measures being employed by the Intellectual Property Office and the National Book Development Board the Philippines has been removed from the 301 list.
The Philippines' removal in the watch list does not mean it has eradicated book piracy. IP Philippines and its partners in government and in the private sector must continue to set-up effective mechanisms to protect IPRs including combating book piracy.
There are some big challenges in removing piracy altogether because there is a general acceptance. Organized crime are photocopying and scanning whole textbooks and selling them directly to schools, colleges and universities. These intuitions are aware that not all the textbooks they buy are genuine, but it is hard to tell the difference.
Washington Post App Exclusive to the Kindle FirePosted by: | Comments
When Jeff Bezos purchased the Washington Post last year for $250 million, many people were wondering what role it would play on the Amazon ecosystem. There is a new Post app exclusively available on the Kindle Fire line of tablets. Users will get access to two editions per day which the editorial team for The Washington Post will release at 5 am ET and 5 pm ET.
The new app, with pre-loaded stories, pictures and even advertisements, was designed in close collaboration with Mr. Bezos, said Shailesh Prakash, The Post's chief technology officer. "We talked to him constantly," Mr. Prakash said, describing feedback Mr. Bezos gave to developers. "He's our most active beta tester."
The Washington Post app has been developed to replicate the experience of reading the paper as if it was in print, the "pinch view" feature in this app attempts to replicate that experience.
The app will be free for Kindle Fire owners for six months, and will then cost a dollar for the next six months. A version of the app will be available for Android and iOS operating systems next year, at $3.99 a month.
Liberio Embraces eBook Creation with Media from Vine and SoundcloudPosted by: | Comments
Liberio is a eBook publishing startup and has been quite vocal about embracing the cloud. The company launched with being able to tap into your documents on Google Drive to create your own eBooks.Authors have more options with the ability to integrate material from Dropbox, Github, OneDrive, SoundCloud and Vine into the platform.
Using Liberio's custom file picker, you can import documents, cover images, and media files from these additional sources free of charge. If you created an eBook in the past with the system, you can edit it to add new media content or just create a new one from scratch. No other self-publishing system currently enjoys the flexibility to be able to create enhanced books with tons of media content from around the web.
The eBooks created with Liberio are 100% compliant with the types of formats major eBook stores require, such as Amazon, Google Play Books or the iBooks Store.
I think this is a bold move on the part of Liberio to embrace popular media channels such as Soundcloud and Vine. Frequently these platforms are employed by rising young internet stars and suddenly its quite viable to harvest your own material for publishing their own eBooks.
Book Expo America Gives the Boot to the General PublicPosted by: | Comments
If you have been regularly attending the largest professional publishing event in North America, Book Expo America, you are likely used to the last day of the event opening up to the general public. It is normally at this time that most of the executives and senior staff flee, leaving the interns and hired help to man the booths, giving away free swag. Starting in 2015, the public will no longer be invited to BEA.
Back in 2013, Book Expo America started a program that opened its door for one day to the general public. In 2014, it renamed and restructured Consumer Day as BookCon, making it a publishing-meets-pop culture event aimed at reaching a broad swath of readers. Authors loved this aspect of the event, because it gave them a chance to meet with their most loyal fans and signed many autographs. But while that consumer-friendly day "exceeded our wildest expectations," says BEA Event Director Steve Rosato, selling 10,000 tickets before organizers had to draw the line, it mixed with the professional days like oil and water.
Staring in 2015 BEA will be held Wednesday, May 27, through Friday, May 29, while BookCon will be held Saturday and Sunday, May 30 and 31. Many of the top publishers and authors will likely stay the few extra days in New York to meet with the fans and professional companies that exist to market their services to libraries can take the chance to tear down their booths and flee for their lives.
I like the fact that there will be some separation between the best publishing event for professionals and the general public. It remains to be seen if BookCon can launch as a separate event successfully or not. The BookCon site compares their festival with the likes of Celebration X, PAX East and Comic-con. I seriously doubt they will even come remotely close to the cultural impact those other events have.
Old Scientific Papers get a New Lease on LifePosted by: | Comments
Thousands of scientific research and reports are issued every year and citation is a very big deal. The more a specific report is validated through other peoples research and more profound impact it can have. These days, articles that are ten years or younger tend to show up in Google searches and are very easy to find. What about the reports written in the early 20th century?
The impact of older articles has grown substantially over 1990-2013. In 2013, 36% of citations were to articles that are at least 10 years old; this fraction has grown 28% since 1990.
Scholarly research organizations have been digitizing their old reports at an accelerated rate the last five years. Now that finding and reading relevant older articles is about as easy as finding and reading recently published articles, significant advances aren't getting lost on the shelves and are influencing work worldwide for years after.
Never has it been so easy to look up a circuit diagram, learn about gene therapy or read the latest papers about black holes.
Nook Pioneer Theresa Horner Leaves Barnes and NoblePosted by: | Comments
Theresa Horner the VP, Digital Content at Barnes & Noble has left the company. Depending on who you talk to she was either fired or left on her own volition. She played a pivitol role in the formation of the Nook division since its launch in 2011. The last major project she spearheaded was the second generation self-publishing system, Nook Press. Doug Carlson, CMO and EVP of Digital Content and he is now running Nook Press.
Barnes and Noble has lost over one billion dollars with the entire Nook division, that includes eBooks, e-readers and tablets. Over last year they have replaced much of the old guard and replaced them with fresh new talent. Some of the most notable departures in the last year was Jim Hilt, head of global eBook sales, and before him digital products director Jamie Iannone and VP of digital products Bill Saperstein.
The hope with the new talent is to bring fresh prospective to the entire Nook experience and this is evident in the recent initiative Sync-Up. This is a new system that allows customers who buy a print book to be able to get a discount on the digital edition. Another byproduct of the new blood is the fact Nook outsourced the hardware for their new tablet line to Samsung, instead of developing everything in-house, like they did in the past.
Update: Apparently Barnes and Noble is cleaning house right now in the Nook division and many people are afraid of losing their jobs.
Amazon Advertising Executive Fired for Refusing To LiePosted by: | Comments
A former advertising executive for Kindle is suing Amazon for wrongful dismissal. The saga begins in 2012 with the launch of the Amazon Kindle Fire Tablet. Amazon was seeking launch partners in order to build traction with their Special Offers edition. Credit card company Discover signed on, as they normally participated with pilot projects at Amazon. Then things got interesting.
In a signed affidavit to the Washington Attorney office, former executive Kivin Varghese outlined the following "Shortly after the successful launch of the ad platform in September 2012, we ran into an issue with one of our large launch partners, Discover Card. In addition to paying $1.2 million to be part of the launch, we ran a promotion where they paid an extra $500,000 that was intended to encourage Kindle owners with a Discover card, to switch their default 1-click card to Discover (ahead of the holiday shopping season).
The promotion was structured in a way where anyone with a Kindle, who used their Discover card to buy a digital good (e.g. mp3 or movie), would get a $10 Amazon Gift Card. The reason the good had to be digital is because to buy a digital good you need to use your 1-click default card, and Discover's primary objective for this promotion was to get users who had a Discover card, to make it their 1-click default so Discover could be the card of choice for holiday shopping over the course of the fourth quarter. That was the only way Discover could justify spending $10 when someone ordered a $1 .mp3 music file.
The finance team and the ad execution team (who reported to my manager via a Product Manager) put together a forecast for Discover that showed we expected the $500K to last for the full 60 days of the promotion, and it had a wide ranging buffer, so we would monitor it weekly. I was not allowed to see the data that went into the forecast – only the finance team putting together the forecast was allowed to see that data – I and others were just provided a range.
About 10 days into the promotion, the Ad Execution team found that over $300,000 of the $500,000 allocated for the promotion had been spent. I had our development team look into the data to find out how this could happen – Was it fraud? Was it a bug?
What we found was that there were tens of thousands of Kindle e-ink owners, the vast majority who hadn't even seen the promotion details (as customers had to click on the ad to see the details), were qualifying for the $10 Gift card because every day, there are thousands of customers who own a Kindle and already have Discover set as their 1-click default card, that buy a digital good on Amazon in the ordinary course of their activity. As soon as we found this out, I sent out a 7-step solution that I recommended we implement to fix the issue, which involved being transparent with Discover about the issue and refunding a significant portion of the promotional funds that went to subsidized behavior. Munira disagreed with my approach, directing me to spin this as 'good news, that the promotion is tracking ahead of plan' and urged me to try to get more budget from Discover. Meanwhile the promotion continued to run and within a few more days we had gone over the $500,000 budget.
Our finance and ad execution team had missed the key fact when doing the forecast – the forecast should have shown that there was a 100% certainty that the promotion as structured, would go through the $500,000 budget within a couple of weeks given everyday activity. This was clear, the data was available during the forecast, and it was missed.
So in other words, Discover was essentially paying $10 to tens of thousands of users who had no idea the promotion was going on, and were just subsidizing existing behavior – Discover was paying $10 mostly to consumers that already had Discover set as their 1-click default and were unaware of any Kindle promotion. That was not Discover's intention, nor was it Amazon's when we ran the promotion. But it was our mistake to rectify."
A number of internal emails were sent between project managers of the advertising platform, trying to get Discover to pay more money, without divulging that e-Ink owners were the ones taking advantage of the promotion. According to the emails, Amazon executives directly downplayed the amount spent directly to Discover. Also, according to the legal filing Amazon lied to Discover about specific metrics and page impressions on the custom landing page for the promotion. When Discover pulled out of the promotion, this is when it all hit the fan.
The Ad executive was brought in for his monthly PIP meeting, where they went over milestone goals. He was scolded for not asking Discover for more money, even though he knew all of the funds were spent and Amazon still had not fixed the bug for e-ink Kindles. He was asked to transfer to another department, and upon refusing went to HR and was promptly fired.
The legal brief ended with "To me, it seems like a culture of treating its employees like robots and numbers. And perhaps that is what spawns and encourages the kind of dark behavior I saw at Amazon. Employees aren't just Bezeos-Bots and numbers. Customers aren't just a source of free-cash flow at any price."
You can read the entire legal briefing HERE. It is very long and a compelling read for Amazon intrigue.
Sony Developing New DRM to Make Used eBooks ViablePosted by: | Comments
Sony is developing a new form of digital rights management to combat Adobes stranglehold on the eBook market. The new encryption system will have an SDK that can be integrated into any existing e-reader or mobile app. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of this new security system is a viable platform in which eBooks can be resold.
Adobe Digital Editions is the current industry standard when it comes to eBooks having a layer of security to curb piracy. If you purchase a digital title from one store and want to load it onto your favorite e-reader or tablet you have to download and install the ADE Software, make an account and enter your credit card details. This software is also required for people who borrow eBooks from the library and aren't using an official app from 3M, Baker & Taylor or Overdrive.
The new Sony encryption system has been a product of three years of development at Sony DADC. This is a Sony subsidiary that primarily focuses on the development of storage media (CDs, DVDs, Blu-Rays), but in addition offers Digital Rights Management Services.
Sony plans on making their new eBook encryption system very appealing towards publishers and e-reader manufactures. The developed a brand new SDK that will play nice with any 3rd party reading app on Android, iOS or Windows. It also can integrated directly into any e-reader on the market. The key selling points of the Sony DRM are; to make eBook rentals viable, to lend an eBook to a friend easier, to define a clear path of ownership, better pay per chapter (metered) support and the ability to resell a book.
The big problem in the eBook industry right now is the lack of clear ownership. When you click the BUY button on Amazon, Apple, Kobo, or Google you are simply licensing the book and it is never truly yours. Sony wants to change this and define a clear path of ownership, this will allow people to sell a used eBook and it will actually physically disappear from the original owners account.
Sony plans on shopping their new DRM system in the spring of 2015 and will likely be conducting private meetings at notable events like the London Book Fair, Book Expo America and IDPF gatherings. I have heard from a reputable source that Sony already has six publishers locked up and will be leveraging those relationship in order to establish new ones.
Blurb Connects Authors with eBook Editors and Other Writing TalentPosted by: | Comments
Blurb is one of the largest self-publishing services in the world and was originally launched in 2006. The company has assisted eBook authors in launching over three million titles globally and they have launched a new program that will allow them to better compete with Amazon.
Dream Team is a new initiative that will connect aspiring or existing eBook authors with talent to help them take their title to the next level. The online marketplace is a creative hotbed of industry professionals with expertise in copy editing, developmental editing, book design, art direction, illustration, photography, cover design, ghostwriting, ebook conversion, and more.
Here is how it works. Blurb has tapped publishing industry veterans Richard Nash and Molly Barton to handpick and vet the Dream Team collaborators, populating the group with a range of experience that offers a commensurate range of price points. In order to hire anyone in the marketplace you have to be an existing Blurb member and agree to self-publish your title through them. You basically just browse profiles, checking out their rates and connect up with them to ask questions or to hire them. When it comes to payment, this is done outside of Blurb and its up to the talent to determine how they want to be paid, Blurb abstains from the entire payment process.
Blurb makes no money from this. They are simply connectors. The benefit for them is that statistically, when authors have help they more likely to complete their books. Therefore title completion and unit rates will increase.
A marketplace connecting writers with freelance talent was originally pioneered by Amazon with their seminal Creation Exchange platform. Sadly, this only is relevant for audiobooks, connecting writers with producers, mixers and narrators. Blurb might have stumbled upon a unified service to assist authors in all aspects of eBook creation, under a single platform.
Amazon Kindle Scout Battles Horrendous Indie AuthorsPosted by: | Comments
Amazon has just taken the beta sticker off their new author and reading community, Kindle Scout. The essence of this program is to give authors a chance to pitch their upcoming books to the public and readers cast their vote on what ones get published.
Amazon is throwing their marketing and financial efforts behind authors to publish their next book exclusively through them. They are giving an advance of $1,500 and a 50% eBook royalty rate to authors who successfully woo the crowd to get behind their next title. The book will then get hyped with Amazon, and likely the books in the early stages of the Scout lifetime will get a ton of media attention.
"We're always looking for new ways to add meaningful connections between readers and authors," said Dina Hilal, General Manager of Kindle Scout. "We've been delighted by the submissions so far and are excited to give readers a say in which books they want to read. We also hope they'll have a lot of fun getting to know authors and their work."
I think Scout is a really great idea and will assist in a huge problem in the publishing world, the dirge of indie author titles. Every week, thousands of horrendous books are released that pollute the digital ecosystem and hinder the eBook discovery process. In all honesty, indie authors are destroying literature as we know it. Scout attempts to vet out the wheat from the chafe, and hopefully we will only hear about the best of the best and not indie generic title number 19281210912.

Bought a house a year and a half ago. The house is 100 years old. The subfloor is made of 8 to 10 inches wide by 2 inches thick. It is either pine or maple. The floor itself is made of planks about 4-5 inches wide by 4to 8 feet long. We have to fill the cracks but first we would like to know what to do about angling floor. We have a 4 foot high crawl space underneath. Some have recommended to lift the floor by jacking it a little every month till it is level. The angle is about one and a half inches spread over 8 feet wide on the average. It is like it is drooping more towards the corner of the living-room where the staircase (in the middle of the house) is. Give us some advice, please.

My first concern would be to find out exactly what is causing the slope. I would crawl into the crawlspace, with a bright light and a strong awl or screwdriver, and begin probing for any sign of wood damage. A house of this age is very prone to insect and water damage. Examine the whole underneath structure, including the floor joists. Examine the foundation walls for any sign of cracks or deterioration. Be very thorough since any existing problem will compound itself over the years. If you are not comfortable with this task, then, hire someone who has experience with structural problems.
There is a possibility that the cause has already been repaired but the previous owners lived with the slope. Another possibility is just poor construction that was never corrected. If everything is structurally sound, then, thoughts can be given to jacking and shoring. GOOD LUCK!!!

COMIC++: A software SVM system for heterogeneous multicore accelerator clusters.
ABSTRACT In this paper, we propose a software shared virtual memory (SVM) system for heterogeneous multicore accelerator clusters with explicitly managed memory hierarchies. The target cluster consists of a single manager node and many compute nodes. The manager node contains a generalpurpose processor and larger main memory, and each compute node contains a heterogeneous multicore processor and smaller main memory. These nodes are connected with an interconnection network, such as Gigabit Ethernet. The heterogeneous multicore processor in each compute node consists of a general-purpose processor element (GPE) and multiple accelerator processor elements (APEs). The GPE runs an OS and the multiple APEs are dedicated to compute-intensive workloads. The GPE is typically backed by a deep on-chip cache hierarchy and hardware cache coherence. On the other hand, the APEs have small explicitly-addressed local memory instead of caches. This APE local memory is not coherent with the main memory. Different main and local memory units in the accelerator cluster can be viewed as an explicitly managed memory hierarchy: global memory, node local memory, and APE local memory. Since coherence protocols of previous software SVM proposals cannot effectively handle such a memory hierarchy, we propose a new coherence and consistency protocol, called hierarchical centralized release consistency (HCRC). Our software SVM system is built on top of HCRC and software-managed caches. We evaluate the effectiveness and analyze the performance of our software SVM system on a 32-node heterogeneous multicore cluster (a total of 192 APEs).
Conference Paper: A software-SVM-based transactional memory for multicore accelerator architectures with local memory.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We propose a software transactional memory (STM) for heterogeneous multicores with small local memory. The heterogeneous multicore architecture consists of a general-purpose processor element (GPE) and multiple accelerator processor elements (APEs). The GPE is typically backed by a deep, on-chip cache hierarchy and hardware cache coherence. On the other hand, the APEs have small, explicitly addressed local memory that is not coherent with the main memory. Programmers of such multicore architectures suffer from explicit memory management and coherence problems. The STM for such multicores can alleviate the burden of the programmer and transparently handle data transfers at run time. Moreover, it makes the programmer free from controlling locks. Our TM is based on an existing software SVM for the accelerator architecture. The software SVM exploits software-managed caches and coherence protocols between the GPE and APEs. We also propose an optimization technique, called abort prediction, for the TM. It blocks a transaction from running until the chance of potential conflicts is eliminated. We implement the TM system and the optimization technique for a single Cell BE processor and evaluate their effectiveness with six compute-intensive benchmark applications.19th International Conference on Parallel Architecture and Compilation Techniques (PACT 2010), Vienna, Austria, September 11-15, 2010; 01/2010
Conference Paper: An OpenCL framework for heterogeneous multicores with local memory.[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: In this paper, we present the design and implementation of an Open Computing Language (OpenCL) framework that targets heterogeneous accelerator multicore architectures with local memory. The architecture consists of a general-purpose processor core and multiple accelerator cores that typically do not have any cache. Each accelerator core, instead, has a small internal local memory. Our OpenCL runtime is based on software-managed caches and coherence protocols that guarantee OpenCL memory consistency to overcome the limited size of the local memory. To boost performance, the runtime relies on three source-code transformation techniques, work-item coalescing, web-based variable expansion and preload-poststore buffering, performed by our OpenCL C source-to-source translator. Work-item coalescing is a procedure to serialize multiple SPMD-like tasks that execute concurrently in the presence of barriers and to sequentially run them on a single accelerator core. It requires the web-based variable expansion technique to allocate local memory for private variables. Preload-poststore buffering is a buffering technique that eliminates the overhead of software cache accesses. Together with work-item coalescing, it has a synergistic effect on boosting performance. We show the effectiveness of our OpenCL framework, evaluating its performance with a system that consists of two Cell BE processors. The experimental result shows that our approach is promising.19th International Conference on Parallel Architecture and Compilation Techniques (PACT 2010), Vienna, Austria, September 11-15, 2010; 01/2010

ABSTRACT: The trend in industry is towards heterogeneous multicore processors (HMCs), including chips with CPUs and massively-threaded throughput-oriented processors (MTTOPs) such as GPUs. Although current homogeneous chips tightly couple the cores with cache-coherent shared virtual memory (CCSVM), this is not the communication paradigm used by any current HMC. In this paper, we present a CCSVM design for a CPU/MTTOP chip, as well as an extension of the pthreads programming model, called xthreads, for programming this HMC. Our goal is to evaluate the potential performance benefits of tightly coupling heterogeneous cores with CCSVM.10/2013;

Talk about a sore loser! Nobody was more upset about Elton John's loss to Madonna at the Golden Globes than singer's partner, David Furnish.
As if John and Furnish's identical looks of displeasure after Madonna won best original song weren't enough of an indication, Furnish took to Facebook to complain about his significant other's single "Hello, Hello" losing.
"Madonna. Best song???? F--k off!!!" Furnish, 49, wrote on his Facebook page after Madonna's single "Masterpiece" won the category.
But Furnish didn't just leave it at the one expletive-infused complaint; he also criticized the Material Girl's way with words, claiming "her acceptance speech was embarrassing in its narcissism."
Then John's partner since 1993 went on to knock the entire ceremony, saying that Madonna's win "truly shows how these awards have nothing to do with merit."
But Madonna doesn't care what Sir Elton and his camp have to say about her win.
"I hope he speaks to me," she told ABC News backstage at the Golden Globes. "He's known to get mad at me, [but] he'll win another award. I don't feel bad."
If it's any consolation to Furnish, he's not the only one who thought Madonna didn't deserve to win. Her directorial debut W.E. (which showcases the song) received generally unfavorable reviews -- earning a mere 28% at Rotten Tomatoes.
"You can't call "W.E." a total disaster; it's too pretty, too nonsensical and finally too insignificant for that," said Salon.com movie critic Andrew O'Heir.

Latest Bugs & Tasks
Ticket #11421 (Network Preflet: Rename "DNS" to "DNS Client") closed
Done in hrev48354.
Ticket #11493 (Notification preflet: unable to save settings) closed
It was decided to do it this way because migrating from alpha4 to beta1 is not supported, and we don't want to have support for the old format in the notification preflet (it removes a lot of code to use the new format).
Ticket #11494 (Notification window: notification text could go out of screen) created
In some circumstances (eg if text doesn't contains spaces) I have noticed that the text inside a notification window, could go out of the screen, resulting truncated.
See the attached screenshot.
Ticket #11493 (Notification preflet: unable to save settings) created
I was attempting to change settings for Notifications (I'd wish to change the Window width), once i click on "Apply" button, an alert window told me "An error occurred saving the preferences. It's possible you are running out of disk space."
Obviously I'm not running out of disk space :-)
hrev48327 screenshot attached.
Ticket #9533 ([Mandelbrot] implement zoom to cursor on wheel scroll) closed
Fixed in hrev48350.
Ticket #9981 ([DiskProbe] View->Font size->Fit enables scrollbar) closed
DiskProbe was rewritten to use the layout kit, and this seems to work properly now.
Note that the font size is picked so that the horizontal scrollbar is disabled only (so a line fits the window as nicely as possible). The vertical scrollbar is not taken into account, as in most cases this would lead to a too small font (the header view minimal size ensures the window is always wide enough).
Ticket #10248 ([DiskProbe] crashes in BString::Prepend) closed
Fixed in hrev48348.
Ticket #9983 ([registrar] Esc in crash dialog should be associated with Terminate ...) closed
Fixed in hrev48346.
Ticket #9904 ([Screen Savers/spider] SpiderSaver.cpp: Called C++ object pointer is null) closed
Applied in hrev48344.
Ticket #2072 ([Perl] Socket.pm not found) closed
This seems to be fixed with the perl version we have currently.
Ticket #11492 (Add eject button to MediaPlayer (for optical disks)) created
Since CDPlayer functionality has been merged into MediaPlayer, it would be useful to have an eject button for optical media. Currently, the option to eject a disk upon unmounting is broken (ticket #2630).
Ticket #11479 (Two WebPositive mouse pointers with hrev48301 on VMware Player) closed
This seems unrelated to Haiku as the second mouse pointer looks to be a Windows one. Please reopen if there is any evidence to the contrary.
Ticket #11472 (System is freezing in VirtualBox when opening a web page) closed
Closing this one. Please reopen if you have any indication of this being a bug in Haiku.
Ticket #11490 (VirtualBox DON'T USE THIS error message) closed
Yes, possibly https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/10027.
Ticket #11491 ([mail] can no longer send mail from yahoo account via smtp) created
I'm on hrev48340 gcc2hybrid.
It seems that I can no longer send emails from my yahoo account via smtp protocol in haiku.
I get an error message that authentication failed:
It used to work about one year ago with haiku alpha 4. However, it is not a regression in haiku since I can also no longer send mails from my alpha 4 installation. It seems that yahoo changed something in their authentication procedure. The strange thing is that I can still send from other mail applications in other operating systems without changing account settings. My outgoing settings in mail preferences:
Ticket #11490 (VirtualBox DON'T USE THIS error message) created
I tried to launch hrev48334 on Virtual Box (using 64-bit Windows 8.1 platform) and received the following error message:

News Source : Have your say on the future of Milton and Thriplow recycling centres
A public consultation has begun to let residents have their say on the future of the recycling centres run by Cambridgeshire County Council.
Residents have the chance to give their views on how to create an efficient and cost effective service which needs to contribute to the £149 million in savings required by the county council's budget over the next five years.
Cllr Peter Roberts, Executive Councillor for Environment, Waste and Public Health, said: "The recycling centres at Milton and Thriplow are well used by Cambridge residents to recycle and dispose of large items which cannot go into their usual bins. I would therefore encourage everyone to take part in the survey to help the county council to shape the future of this service."
Options being put forward include looking at the location, usage and potential closure of some of the recycling centres across the county; a proposal to charge for certain wastes such as hardcore and plasterboard; and reducing opening days and opening hours at sites.
The consultation is open until Friday 26 September. To get involved visit: http://www.cambridgeshire.gov.uk/recyclingcentreservice.

Opposite Hanger Lane Tube Station, this modern hotel offers free use of its gym. It is just 3 miles from London's Wembley Stadium.
Score from 275 reviews Very good
The entire layout and design of the facility and rooms was magnificent!!! Best I've seen in years. as a next Holiday Inn employee I have to say the company has grown immensely!
low key quiet
bathroom smelled of very strong cigarette smoke ( we are non smokers) breakfast- bacon was rock hard and eggs like rubber.
Internet was free
The staff were very friendly and helpful
Location is good for visiting London and not too bad for heading to Wembley - around 1hr to get there. Staff were friendly and helpful. Loved the breakfast - good choice of cold meats, cheese and breads - I don't like a cooked breakfast and it was good to be able to have something other than egg on toast and cereal. Cooked breakfast looked, was replenished frequently and has my husband's recommendation.
Was woken up by fire alarm for no reason
The lobby feels like home
location is bad, wifi available for a price and only in the lobby
Amazing staff Family warm hotel Very clean Rohit is one example of staff that make your stay easy with his team they make u feel u r in your house but in london
Need some space in the breakfast area
The staff were very helpful and friendly.
Bedside lamps didn't work.
Location, newly refurbished, will stay again.
A lady knocking on the door at 8 am (who turned out to be a housekeeper but didn't announce this) because the DND sign was facing the wrong way.. Tv not working but didn't report this as was out most of the day.
The staff were friendly and very helpful. Very attentive at breakfast making sure we knew what was available and were ready to help if we needed it. Loved the room, especially the huge bed - didn't want to get out of it in the morning. Will certainly be back.
Liked everything about the hotel, the only downside was having to make so many changes on the tube to get to Wembley.
near underground station " north acton " executive rooms nice and clean, barely any noise
distance to Wembley stadium by underground is horrible as it takes you at least 45 mins from "North Acton " station. Sometimes staff bit clumsy, however all friendly and willing to help.
it was a very short walk from north acton underground which was great!
our room smelt like smoke and didn't really seem very clean.
Gud facilities in the room n bed is comfortable. Staff very friendly.
Pretty lobby area Starbucks
Single beds were very uncomfortable. Bed frames made noises every time you moved. Mattresses were thin. Surprised to find such poor sleeping accommodations at Holiday Inn. Shared concerns with desk clerk- she just said sorry.
The location was very good, the facilities was also excellent, but the staff were horrible, especially the manager, whose name I later found out to be Mr. Usman , he lack good human management skills, and chose rather to avoid customers rather than attending to them. I will never recommend this hotel to anyone I know nor use them again. I had to abandon them to look for other accommodation . I will appreciate any formal way or process for lodging my protest against this hotel and the poor attitude of the staff.
Stayed here for one night for business. Very nice set up and recently refurbished. Staff were great and I got a free upgrade to executive floor - great views west over the setting sun. Room was nice and clean. Bed was very nice.
Breakfast was a bit chaotic. Had to find my own table and ask for cutlery, then ask for coffee. Being greeted for breakfast is what sets apart good from average hotels in my opinion.
The new extension with a lavishly new executive rooms.
The busses parking beneath the windows of the new extension which cause disturbance to the guests from the noise of the drivers and the guests who use the busses.
Great refurbishment of the top floor V friendly staff
Pleasant bar and restaurant. Good rooms. Hotel is currently under going refurbishment which is causing a few blips
Booking procedure seemed to have glitches the day we booked. Arrived at reception, initially the hotel had no record of our booking. When they found it, they had no twin rooms as ordered. After half an hour they finally found a room and our employees were dispatched to the room on the 4th floor. Alas, it was in use and the occupants were caught in flagrante delicto. Ha, maybe we should have put this comment in the 'What You Did like' section. Eventually, all was resolved when the apologetic duty manager upgraded our two employees to separate executive rooms. The temporary car park can be confusing. Although a ticket was purchased, there were no empty bays and we picked up a £90 fine for parking in the wrong bay. Hopefully, by the time this goes to print, the hotel will have sorted this out
The room had a very cosy atmosphere which made it easy to get a good sleep. The shower was a lovely walk in shower which is always nice. And it was easy to obtain a permit to park in the nearby car park.
Overall I and my partner had a decent stay at this hotel. There were only a few things that bothered us, first of all, when we booked the hotel it was under a different name and so we had thought that we would be staying at the Ramada. Only to find (once we got there) that the Holiday Inn now owned the hotel which caused us a few problems in actually locating the hotel. Also, I had paid for 2 breakfasts for 2 nights but for some reason my name did not appear on the breakfast list which meant that we had to wait while the reception was contacted before we could eat. We were given two options of bacon during breakfast (crispy & non-crispy) but but turned out to be extremely crispy (mine flew out of my plate while trying to cut it) and lastly the maid did not clean our room at all during our stay which was very irritating
Great location as wasnt too far from where i had to be. Stopped for a weekend as i came to watch arsenal play at the emirates. Twas pretty easy to get on the central line then change to piccadilly. Staff were friendly and extremely helpful.
Well it would have been great to have been notified or informed that Ramada had changed to Holiday inn!! I actually booked a weekend at "ramada" and as i used my GPS on my phone to follow the directions which brought me to the "Holiday inn", i called the hotel and it was at that moment, they said that they were no longer "ramada" but had recently been brought by holiday inn. Apart from that, i still enjoyed my stay.
Executive rooms were large and very comfortable
1st: when original booked hotel was London encore West,we was not informed about the change to holiday Inn!! Spent 1/2 hr looking for London encore. When originally booked we booked for bed and breakfast on check In told breakfast wasn't in so had to pay.£10 a day parking I feel is steep and not informed of this when booked . The bar run out of draft beer on Friday night (bank holiday weekend) and was not sorted out. I have another weekend away booked through booking.com in Oct now feeling a little wary about It!!
Very good finish to refurbed rooms very comfy bed
Bathroom required extractor fan
nice staff
too noise.... the floor , the bed.... seems a bit old!

Added Jan 27, 2012
Hollywood, Flori...
I have always been drawn to the sexy silhouette a bustier will give but often disappointed in commercial patterns on the market. I finally came up with an easy flattering pattern and technique to achieve this. Strapless or with cute bra straps, circle skirt, short, long, so many dresses can be created from this foundation. This is my first dress with the pattern. It only took me about two hours to complete and about 1.5 yards of fabric. The fabric is a micro houndstooth of wool and lycra.
1.5 yards of fabric, 1.5 yards lining, invisible zipper, boning

Jan 27, 2012, 10.47 PMby egecouture
i tried to do this also but never got it that perfectly…. do you have any tips for me that i can make???

Jan 27, 2012, 08.19 PMby kelepso
You're very talented!
Jan 27, 2012, 08.08 PMby ghainskom

The cups are always tricky in bustiers, I make my own bra cups from a thin fabric covered foam. When you make the cups you can control the size and shape while achieving a factory finish

Warm homecoming for NH soldiers returning from Afghanistan
William Fish a Blackhawk pilot, hugs his son Major, 5, after returning from a 9-month deployment to Afghanistan, at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, in Manchester, on Thursday. (Thomas Roy/Union Leader)
Fish described the country as a constant of hot, dusty desert. He and Shallow flew medical rescue missions into what Shallow called "the worst situations where people are having the worst days of their lives."
"It was 95 percent sheer boredom and 5 percent sheer terror," Fish said of his deployment.
"You wait and wait and wait, and then the call comes in and you go as quick as you can and you fire the aircraft up and go help whoever needs help. Then you go park it for a little while and wait for the next one."
Major, who called Fish's arrival "great," was echoed by Shallow's sister, Christine Patane of Goffstown.
"Now he can harass me from nearby instead of from overseas," she said with a laugh.
Maj. Gen. William N. Reddel greeted Fish and Shallow as they came through the airport gate and said he was relieved to greet another couple of troops who made it home safely.
Lt. Col. Gregory Heilshorn, spokesman for the New Hampshire Army National Guard, said 10 more soldiers are expected to arrive tonight.
