Even before a launch of Microsoft's Surface Windows 8 Pro, we knew battery life would be a Achilles heel. Now, Microsoft is hinting that it might have a repair in a works.
Panos Panay, Microsoft's corporate clamp boss operative on Surface, recently hosted a doubt and answer event on Reddit about a new product. One user asked if Microsoft had any skeleton for an outmost battery or a keyboard cover with a possess battery built-in.
"That would need fluctuating a pattern of a appendage spine to embody some approach to send aloft stream between a marginal and a categorical battery,†Panay wrote in response. "Which we did…â€
Panay was expected referring to new connector plates on a bottom of a Surface Pro, that are not found on a Surface Windows RT. It's probable that a thicker Touch Cover or Type Cover could accumulate an additional battery, fluctuating a life of a device over a measly 5 hours .
Speaking to The Verge, a Microsoft deputy dropped another hint during how those connectors would come into play: "At launch we talked about a 'accessory spine' and hinted during destiny peripherals that can click in and do more," a deputy said. "Those connectors demeanour like can lift some-more stream than a pogo pins, don't they?â€
The doubt is, can Microsoft build a new keyboard cover with a possess battery that doesn't concede a pattern of a Surface itself? The existent Type Cover–the one with automatic keys–is already a bit clunky as a shade protector. Make it thicker, and a pattern hews closer to a litany of existent clamshell-like hybrids, such as theSamsung ATIV Smart PC and a Lenovo ThinkPad Helix. The singular interest of a Surface, as a inscription whose keyboard cover simply folds out of a way, would start to diminish.
So as engaging as a battery-equipped Surface cover might be, I'm even some-more speedy by a probability of altogether new Surface models. In a same Reddit session, Panay subtly hinted during some-more to come. (A user had asked about new models with additional features, and Panay pronounced those were "great ideas, though we aren't articulate about destiny product designs.â€)
As PCWorld Editor Jon Phillips wrote, a Surface Pro is "so close†to being a ideal matrimony of a inscription and a PC. A new cover with a battery would be a poultice measure, though wholly new hardware has a improved possibility to spike a concept.

Written by Michael Scro, email@example.com Wednesday, 05 March 2014 00:00
When marching orders were given to the Village of Garden City's various civil service divisions to cut expenses, the fire department complied to the tune of slightly more than a quarter million dollars. During a Tuesday evening village board meeting, Fire Chief William Castoro announced a proposed budget of personnel services of $2.3 million this year, a significant reduction from last year's adopted budget of $2.6 million.
Castoro said the department is forecasting to spend $2.4 million this year, an estimated $49,000 decrease, due to two unexpected retirements this year, and the reason for a reduction in personnel services.
The fire department's overtime budget last year was $189,969, which Castoro said the department plans to spend "all of that, but keeping it a little bit under—we've implemented changes in staffing while people are on vacation or out sick for the slower times of the fire department." The proposed overtime budget for next year is $120,000—a $69,969 decrease.
Trustee Richard Silver questioned the overtime figured presented, saying, "with the proposed overtime budget being cut by more than one third, I struggle to see how its realistic to expect that seven or eight months into the year."
Castoro said the department spent $14,236 last month on overtime, and explained how they've moved positions around as a cost savings measure.
"For our day-men positions, we can now fill them in at different locations, we'll have two day-men that we didn't have all these previous months and fill in when people are on vacation," Castoro said.
The fire department has also changed its vacation policy, whereby starting in 2014, personnel decides their vacation time for the entire year. Previously, three people were allowed on vacation every week, and those were all filled overtime—that has now been reduced to two out per week.
Two day-men will fill in for those on vacation, and the department will not pay overtime for them.
Castoro said he feels the overtime budget will reduce by approximately $10,000 per month, however stated "its hard to predict and budget for those out sick or injured, but based on the vacations, sick time, personal time and the coverage we now have that we didn't have these prior months, we feel we can achieve those savings."
Deputy Mayor Nicholas Episcopla questioned Castoro on unused contract days off, stating that in 2013-13, $66k was spent, which he said was "well under" the $95k budget. Comparing those numbers to the last year's $79k budget, Episcopla said "we're down to about $38k in actual estimated expenses, but this year's budget we're budgeting $65k."
Castoro said that per union contract, each fire fighter gets 96 hours of sick time, and should they not use those hours, they can be diverted to personal time.
"Fire fighters then have the option to get paid for their personal time at the end of the year, or they can bank it towards retirement," Castoro said. "We basically survey them, and our numbers are budgeted to pay everyone."
Upon questioning by Trustee Robert Bolebruch on the ordering of fire department items, Castoro said that "originally, we were asked to put in a $20,000 contingency in the budget for large items that break throughout the year, such as boilers and garage doors, and recently, we had to have a roof replaced."
We had spent over $10,000 on garage doors. We actually put into the capital, put it's not pertaining to repair. So we have a line item for maintenance of plant for large items," Castoro added.
Castoro said the fire department estimates spending $44k this year on gas and diesel fuel, and looking to budget $49,750 for next year.
"Every year, its one of those categories that we tend to uncontrollably go over," Castoro said. "We seem to always have to transfer money to and under-budget, so we're trying to correct that this year."
On fire department vehicle repairs, Castoro said they have begun outsourcing to a private company instead of utilizing Garden City's Public Works, saying, "the fire truck is very technical," explaining that computer service work is needed. Public works still handles small level repairs for the fire department vehicles.
According to Trustee Donnelly, $2,000 was previously allocated to public works on a monthly basis.
New fire department trucks have a five-year bumper-to-bumper warranty, where previous trucks had a one-year bumper-to-bumper warranty. Castoro mentioned that the fire department keeps their vehicles for "a very long time," stating that all fire engines are at least 20 years, and ladder trucks are 25 years older or more.
"The downside to that is that as the fleet ages, we spend a lot of money on maintenance," Castoro said.

Fabric and loathing in Vegas: what happened at MS Mix
Microsoft's Mix was intended to introduce developers to the company's cloud platform - Azure Services Platform. Just days before, though, Azure suffered its first outage - 22 hours of darkness. Microsoft blamed an over-active Fabric Controller for the problem, saying it had taken down healthy server instances instead of just the …
Best bit was Playboy!
MIX is a great conference, very relaxed and not at all Microsoft in feel - I don't think I've ever been to a Microsoft conference where in the keynote someone mentioned Playboy before! And yes, they even launched the site http://playboy.covertocover.com (50+ issues, one from each year, full text search enabled!) ... though they did leave it dark until the evening (I guess they wanted the audience to pay attention to the rest of the keynote and the sessions!)
Paris: for the articles
RE: Best bit was Playboy!
For you, the highlight of a MS tech conference was MS using silicon boobies to convince people that silverlight is anywhere near finished?
Not sure who comes out worst off from that. You, or MS.

"It was a roller-coaster ride in terms of starting out 5-0 and then struggling at the end, but then regaining focus and composure in the last two games. It's a shame this one goes down in the loss column. But if you look at the effort and the focus in the Virginia Tech game and last night, certainly it was dramatically different than what we saw during the three-game losing streak."
"We swung the bats better than we have been. We had been struggling getting runners in scoring position, but I felt the team got better doing that tonight."

WOONSOCKET -- George Nasuti would have been extremely proud of this show of support.
After last September's inaugural event attracted 259 participants, the newly-tabbed George Nasuti Novans Pride 5K, named in memory of the longtime educator, administrator, and Woonsocket High athletic director who passed away unexpectedly in February, saw a huge spike in signups.
Four hundred and seventy-nine runners and walkers laced up their shoes and flocked to the race's chief sponsor, The Gym, LLC on Diamond Hill Road, on Monday morning to tour the 3.1-mile route and pay tribute to the beloved man who was the chief supporter and driving force behind the Woonsocket Athletic Department.
More than 300 hailed from Woonsocket, and included in that number were students, coaches, faculty members, alumni, and family members and friends of Nasuti's. Some of them sported race t-shirts, while several others donned the traditional Villa Novan maroon and white colors.
"It's amazing," said race director Phil D'Eon. "Last year, we had around 260 [register for the race], so we're very excited. This race really brought out a lot of people, and George would be very proud of it. The Give Respect, Get Respect [slogan] is all over the place, and a lot of kids came out. It's great."
As the case with last year's race, former Mount St. Charles standout Roland Lavallee was the winner, breaking the tape in a 16:25 time, and just like last year, he topped a high school student for the victory, this time outdistancing MSC freshman C.J. Berg by 43 seconds.
Hot on Berg's heels was the third-place finisher, Matt Gingras of Cranston, and he was immediately followed by Kevin Peloquin, a 2009 graduate and a former runner at Mount, and Philip Kiesling of Cranston.
Lavallee, Berg, and Peloquin were part of the MSC Running Club that ran away with the team title, topping a field of eight teams and also receiving a 12th-place finish from Douglas Dubosky (20:00) and top-60 finishes from Madeline Charbonneau and Cat Sherman.
"Some kids came to see me in the spring and wanted to start a club team for those who weren't competing on the varsity level," added Lavallee, who also teaches at Mount. "As you saw today, we had a pretty sizeable group."
"Roland coached me from my sophomore to my senior year," said Peloquin, who is also a teacher in Providence. "I went to college at PC, so we kept in touch and kept running together. It's always fun to come race with him and see what he can do."
In last year's race, Lavallee, who was just coming back from microfracture surgery to his knee, dominated the race in a 15:42 time that was more than 3½ minutes faster than the runner-up finisher, Woonsocket High sophomore Keith Jillette.
While Lavallee was nowhere near that time in his return to the rolling course that covered some of the scenic neighborhoods of Bound Road, Elder Ballou Meeting House Road, and Mendon Road, he offered a valid reason why.
"We made a pact," said Lavallee. "We said we were going to stick together in the early part [of the race] and run as a group. We went out conservative -- I was 5:29 after the first mile and a little bit ahead -- but it was perfect for these guys. They really raced their tails off the rest of the way."
Lavallee was especially impressed with the strong performance of Berg, who played soccer last fall and pulled off a superb finish to top Gingras by three seconds.
"He ran really well," added Lavallee. "He's been running with me all spring and we've been having a blast."
Jillette ended up finishing sixth in an 18:45 time that was 31 seconds faster than his runner-up finish from 2013, and Chris Hoard, the 2012 winner of Woonsocket's Race Against Racism 5K, took seventh in a 19:16 time that bettered his third-place finish in last fall's Novans Pride 5K by a minute and 35 seconds.
The women's winner was Michaela Morgan of Cumberland, who placed 13th overall in 20:10. She beat the next female finisher, 19th-place Amy Noecker of Douglas, Mass., by more than a minute.
Amy Gingras (39th overall, 23:54) was third, and Woonsocket High senior Anna Barnhart (41st overall, 24:09) placed fourth and was also the first high school female finisher. Former Cumberland High softball and basketball standout Caylin Legare (48th, 24:38) rounded out the top five.
Among the Woonsocket High student-athletes who finished with Jillette in the top 20 were William Flores (ninth place, 19:30), Evan Bartholomy (11th, 19:50), Corey Mabray (15th, 20:54), Jalen Evans (17th, 21:02), Prinyavong Phongavon (18th, 21:03), and Nick Beals (20th, 21:26).

I have made quite a few of these bracelets. I was so proud of myself – this was the first time I had used jump rings at the beginning and end and was really concentrating on how to do it. The bracelet was done except for putting the lobster claw and chain extension on but for some reason, the bracelet itself, just didn't look right. It was probably laying around for about a week before I put the endings on it and I had looked at it half a dozen times, each time thinking it didn't seem right but not seeing what "didn't seem right."
Finally I saw the problem. Can you see it?
I can't take it apart to fix it, all the threads are cut and secured. I'm calling this my oops bracelet.

No one's religious liberty is being threatened
During last week there were a number of news stories about Roman Catholic organizations, with strong support by right-wing evangelicals, filing lawsuits against the new federal guidelines requiring contraception for women in everyone's basic health care.
The New York Times has an editorial on Sunday that bluntly pushes back on the claim by those filing suit that their religious rights are being violated by the requirement.
"In 1993, Congress required government actions that 'substantially burden a person's exercise of religion' to advance a compelling interest by the least restrictive means. The new contraceptive policy does that by promoting women's health and autonomy.
And there was no violation of religious exercise to begin with. After religious groups protested, the administration put the burden on insurance companies to provide free contraceptive coverage to women who work for religiously affiliated employers like hospitals or universities — with no employer involvement.
This is a clear partisan play. The real threat to religious liberty comes from the effort to impose one church's doctrine on everyone."
H/T to Diana Butler-Bass
Amen as well. It is not a sin to use birth control. It is a sin not to use birth control when you are not ready or able to properly care for a precious child. The Catholics as usual have it exactly backwards.
If we or the courts start making the exceptions that are being demanded so that even individuals are exempted in their places of business there will no longer be laws that protect people from discrimination in public places. If religious people want to do business in the public square then they must accept the principle of equal justice under law regardless of one's religious opinions. The 'religious exemption' is the nose of the camel under the tent. And a sneak attack to undermine Obama's re-election.
Re to Dallas Bob: The Roman Hiearchy has it backwards. Most of the laity do not agree with Rome's position on human sexuality and birth control.
-Cullin R. Schooley
There's a continuing effort by those of a conservative (usually patriarchal) religious bent to coopt the terms "religious freedom" and "religious values" unto themselves. As far as those of us w/ religious values that promote human equality: we just don't exist (either to the conservatives, or to the mainstream "Colorful Conservatives Sell Ad-Time!" media). Ergo, there are no religious progressives who need their religious freedoms protected FROM religious conservatives.
...says the Vatican & Co.

JC Fisher wrote: 'There's a continuing effort by those of a conservative (usually patriarchal) religious bent to coopt the terms "religious freedom" and "religious values" unto themselves.'
And whose fault is that? Why isn't the Episcopal Church trying to get out the message about its own religious values? At least when it comes to the question of birth control, it's largely because our religious value are indistinct from the values of the culture around us, so there's no conflict! Our religious freedom and our religious values are not contested because there's really no difference between our beliefs and that of the culture around us. Or at least we're not really challenging the culture around us.
I don't see your point, ChrisA (beyond disputing your implied assertion that TEC is NOT "trying to get out the message about its own religious values"). Could you clarify?
It's not about challenging the culture, or affirming the culture. It's about living the Gospel: sometimes there's overlap, and sometime there isn't. Discernment which is which? More Light, Lord Christ, grant us more light!
JC Fisher
From the point of view of accuracy or any effort at a fair presentation of the issues, the cited New York Times editorial is about as bad as can be imagined. Mark Rienzi addresses it today on NRO here.
Take the first of the editorial's assertions held up in the blog entry: that the HHS contraceptive policy meets the test of advancing a compelling governmental interest by the least restrictive means by virtue of "promoting women's health and autonomy." Prof. Rienzi responds:
But the compelling-interest test is not satisfied simply by naming some generally important interest — instead, the Court has explained that this test is "the most demanding test known to constitutional law" and requires the government to identify an "actual problem" in need of solving. Here, the administration's repeated claims about the popularity of contraceptive use, and the wide variety of sources from which contraceptives are already available, belie any claim that there is an access problem in the first place.
Fourth, even if there were some problem with access to what Secretary Sebelius calls "the most commonly taken drug in America by young and middle-aged women," there is no reason to think that the "least restrictive means" of addressing that problem would be to force unwilling religious institutions to provide access.
As the government demonstrates each year through its Title X programs, it is perfectly capable of distributing contraceptive drugs directly when it wants to. And even so, the Supreme Court just last term explained that "the government does not have a compelling interest in each marginal percentage point by which its goals are advanced."As to the claim that opposition to the mandate involves an "effort to impose one church's doctrine on everyone," Rienzi observes,
No one is forced to work for a Catholic institution. And those who do are perfectly free to get these drugs on their own, for free from the government, or from the many sources that willingly distribute them. Indeed, in no other context has anyone ever suggested that an employer's failure to distribute an item for free is "imposing doctrine" on anyone. Catholic institutions also do not give out pornography, Big Macs, or trips to Disneyland. Failure to provide these things for free does not impose anything on anyone or restrict anyone's freedom in any way. Overheated claims to the contrary cannot be taken seriously.Rienzi surmises that the NYT editorial writers didn't bother to consult with any lawyers before publishing their editorial, not unlike Secretary Sebelius' apparent failure to consider the controlling law before HHS's issuance of the mandate.

Sorry, Katy Perry. You aren't the only artist who inspires a happy dance in adorable babies.
A few days after the Internet collectively melted over a crying child instantly calming down and loving life as soon as Dark Horse was played, another set of parents has released a similarly awesome video.
This one features a toddler on the verge of a breakdown... until "I'm Different" by 2 Chainz starts to blast. From there, the mood changes drastically...
It's safe to say this baby is different, wouldn't you say?

Atripla is a tablet that contains three antiretroviral drugs (ARVs) used to fight HIV: efavirenz (Sustiva), emtricitabine (Emtriva), and tenofovir (Viread). Atripla is manufactured by Gilead and Bristol-Myers Squibb. It is the first tablet that includes a complete antiretroviral regimen. A generic version was approved for sale outside the U.S. under the PEPFAR program (see Fact Sheet 475 ). The drugs in Atripla are a...

With the era of yoga pants and spanxxx underwear upon us, it is getting harder and harder to tell if a nice ass is a nice ass.
Sometimes i bring a girl home looking firm and tight, and cottage cheese comes pouring out of her jeans. Sometimes I bring a girl home with a small looking flat ass, and she takes off her pants and reveals that she has a curvy firm delicious ass (the illusion of tightness was brought upon by tight pants).
Is there any tried and true method of revealing the true ass before unwrapping?

Rated 3 out of 5 by Grapehead Nice Hotel, Roms need attention Was a bit disappointed with our last stay. When we first got to our room, we noticed the bathtub was dirty. Hair was on the shower walls and the tub was dirty. There was even hair all over the bathroom floor. Not a very good first impression to not have your room "ready" when you first checked in. The room was small, but since we were there for business we didn't spend a whole lot of time in our room. Housekeeping needs to be improved. The second day of our stay, we were left no washcloths, and our old towels were not taken. On our third day when we returned to our room we noticed that the bed was made, but the bathroom was not touched. Our dirty towels were still there, although I give housekeeping staff credit, they did leave fresh towels. The staff at Draft was not prepared for such a large group of people on the Thursday afternoon we ate lunch there. Took forever to get our food, hence, we were late for an afternoon appointment. The one positive thing with our stay was the check in process. The front desk staff was very friendly and welcoming. Not sure if I would stay here again, but I wouldn't totally rule it out.

WASHINGTON – At times during the 1980s, Marion Barry writes in his new memoir, he would stand amid one of the many parties he'd frequent as mayor, sip on a Hennessy and Coke, and take it all in.
I would think, Damn! I did all of this (stuff)? How did I do it? Barry writes about his days as both unapologetic night owl and power broker. But I didn't have time to be too proud or introspective. I had to keep doing what I was doing, and what had gotten me there.
With the Tuesday release of the 336-page autobiography Mayor for Life: The Incredible Story of Marion Barry, Jr., the time for pride and introspection has come for the former four-term mayor, current D.C. Council member and defining figure of modern-day District politics.
Written with Charlotte, N.C.-based novelist Omar Tyree, Mayor for Life is heavier on the former than the latter, seeking to recast Barry's legacy as a civil rights icon and crusader for black empowerment while denying, omitting or explaining away the controversies that pocked his four decades in politics.
In the most prominent instance, Barry portrays his January 1990 drug bust at a downtown Washington hotel not merely as a sideshow to his decades in public service, but one directly rooted in his efforts to upend white political and economic privilege.
I don't want my life and legacy to be all about what happened to me at the Vista Hotel, Barry writes.
Yet the book goes into considerable detail about the infamous bust, which made international headlines and colors public perceptions of Barry and D.C. politics to this day. It includes the fullest public telling to date from Barry's perspective, including his tumultuous relationship with Rasheeda Moore, the former model who played the central role in the operation and later testified against Barry in court.
Barry, now 78, writes of the mix of power, attraction, alcohol, sex, and drugs that fueled him during his 1980s heyday, admitting to human frailties and bad personal decisions but hesitating to say he was ever out of control.
Describing his first use of cocaine, he writes: From that point on, you chase that same high and sex that you felt the first time. But I never considered myself addicted to anything or having problems with substance abuse.
The book's release is set to kick off a new round of news media attention for Barry, including a New York publicity launch and a coming interview with Oprah Winfrey.
In one high-profile revelation, Barry said his ability to win re-election to the mayoralty in 1994 caught the attention of President Bill Clinton, who wanted to talk to me about how to handle embarrassing personal as a public official shortly after the Monica Lewinsky scandal broke.
I said, The first thing you gotta do is stop digging the hole that put you there in the first place,' Barry writes, describing an undated encounter after an event at a hospital.
Throughout, Barry describes himself as beset by white critics, whether the Ward 3 residents interested only in taxes, trash and trees, the white businessmen who resented his efforts to build up minority enterprises or the white federal prosecutors – Joseph diGenova and Jay Stephens – who investigated him and his administration through the 1980s.
The war to reclaim Washington for white people had been declared, Barry writes, setting up his turbulent third term in office.

November 26, 2014
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A state fraud hotline received 79 reports in 2011, consistent with the number of calls placed the two prior years.
The nonpartisan Legislative Audit Bureau operates the line and reported Wednesday on calls it received.
Of the 79 calls last year, only 58 were state-related and within the scope of what the Audit Bureau could investigate.
Of those calls, 18 were related to people getting benefits they may not be eligible to receive, 17 were about agency mismanagement and 15 had to do with waste and inefficiency. Five dealt with employee misconduct.
Since the hotline began in April 2008, 107 of the calls were found to be unfounded and 108 were resolved. Thirty two remain under review.
The hotline number is 1-877-FRAUD-17. Reports can also be made online at www.legis.wisconsin.gov/lab.

Even 'Your computer has a virus' cold-call gits are migrating off XP
What are LogMeIn doing to make these scams easier to report and block?
In my view, LogMeIn (and all remote access tools, really) should have a warning users have to read and acknowledge on the login screen with a big red button users can easily click to report and block the six digit code immediately that terminates the connection to your computer immediately. LogMeIn should make note of the IP addresses of the originating end, and block the source IP AS netblock from making any new LogMeIn connections until the parent ISP clears their customer off the Internet. LogMeIn should donate any payments from fraudulent scams to Indian charities, particularly charities with programs like ethics for kids to prevent new recruits. As the scammers have to install an agent on their computers, it would also be nice if the LogMeIn code locks the scammer workstation hard and sounds a very loud siren noise and flashing lights with a notice of the nearest police station's address, so they can go hand themselves in, and send out a IP trace locator to the local authorities so the scammers can be arrested and prosecuted.
Or am I just dreaming, and Logmein is profiting from this awful trade?
Linux backdoor squirts code into SSH to keep its badness buried
Someone saw Metlstorm's talk
Finally seeing bad guys using the techniques detailed in Metlstorm's talk from linux.conf.au earlier this year. He claimed that most of these techniques are 10+ years old (and in fact, some of his tools, like ssh-jack, he demos don't work on modern Linux AFAIK).
Search for the video of his talk "Ain't no party like a Unix party". Well worth 45m of anyone's time. You can probably find his 2005 Black Hat talk on ssh-jack around the traps as well.
Great speaker, great guy - if only more in infosec were like him.
Greenland ice SIMPLY WOULD NOT MELT in baking +8°C era 120k years ago
Is there a way I can filter out crap posts?
I'm sick of Lewis Page's articles. Deliberately, trollingly, click baitingly, presenting wholly factually inaccurate or misrepresentative quotes and factoids. These "articles" would make Faux News blush, and indeed I suggest Lewis look there for his kind if he needs new employers.
I don't mind it when new data or research comes to light that shows us how to improve our models or understanding of how things work. That's science. But to wilfully and continuously disparage the scientific method, 99.98% of all qualified climate scientists, and 50+ years of research with a wide range of funding sources and tenure beggars belief. What is Lewis' qualification to write these articles? If it's a B.A. in journalism, then none. He is not a climate scientist. The Register, must not take the easy path of bashing science.
Governments would LOVE climate science to be fake. Governments would love to continue growth at all costs and continue business as usual. The fact that all major governments of all stripes have stopped feigning ignorance and starting to move on this should speak volumes to the doubters. It's not rocket science to work out what's happening - it's now CHEAPER to do something than to do nothing. It really is that simple.
The scientific question has moved from "the climate might be changing" to the "climate is changing pretty darn fast especially compared to the many historical records we have". We have hydrologists who run flood models to determine what is going to go under with varying levels of increase. We have economists who work out roughly how much it will cost, and it's a terrible, terrible cost. Plus we're crapping where we sleep. Even if it's not right, surely you want to have clean air and environment? We have tropical islands like Kiribati already essentially flooded and unproductive as they have no fresh water table.
The economic and political has become "how much will that cost in human life, treasure, and war" and "what can we do about it to minimize the misery?" Doing nothing is not an option, and keeping that position deals you out of any solution. If you hate how you feel dealt out of the mainstream today, wait for another 30-40 years.
If The Register is not going to present alternative solutions to mainstream thought (which I disagree with, ETS are cheap for governments, but ineffective at creating necessary change), then get someone else to write a 99 times more articles than Lewis to balance out "articles" such as this waste of electrons. I don't come to The Register for factual inaccuracy, I come for funny and moderately unbalanced tech editorial, based largely in fact. These articles are siding with the folks at World Nut Daily in a way that does not reflect well on the Register.
My question stands to the moderators: until Lewis moves on or decides to post what he'd like to see change instead of the "Don't panic, it's fine to carry on defecating all over our planet and please feel free to turn up the aircon", is there a way I can block these ridiculous articles from appearing in my logged in version of the Register?
TiVo hits pause button in Australia
Too few features, EPG work of fiction
I've owned three Oztivo's, of which two are still in use today. That allowed me to record Foxtel, and was easily the best way to deal with Foxtel's utterly broken UI.
In the US, our two series 2 Tivo's could record four Direct TV shows at once between them. With US stations ALWAYS starting and finishing on time, you could guarantee a show would be recorded. Made dealing with the 500+ channels of crap much easier.
Coming back to Australia, we bought the new Tivo, but it's nearly impossible to make work due to the incorrigible fiction of Channel 9 schedules. So we don't watch Channel 9 any more. Channel 7 is not much better - they can't seem to work out how long 30 minutes is in their newslots and this hampers both start and finish times, even though they are the official Tivo partner in Australia.
Tivo downloadable content is a joke. In the US, we could get ANYTHING from Amazon at Amazon prices. Here? Not so much.
Coupled with the inability to record off our Foxtel satellite dish, the Tivo is in our bedroom. The Foxtel IQ2 in our loungeroom is atrocious. It's like Foxtel heard about Tivo from a drunk technophobe, and tried their best with Elbonian developers, and failed. One example - the IQ2 can only search two days ahead. That's it. For months, that didn't work either. The EPG is six and bit days ahead, and still can't cope with Channel 9's outrageous fibbing. If only the Tivo could record Foxtel.
A great system stymied by crap scheduling, lack of truth in EPG, and no access to iView / watch it again type of things from the FTA and Foxtel.
Comcast busted for bagging BitTorrents (again)
As a Comcast subscriber... please continue
I'm extremely satisfied that leeches are not robbing *my* share of bandwidth just so they can illegally download (and very occasionally share) copyrighted works.
I like the bandwidth I have available most nights (500-600 kB/s are typical rates to east coast sites like SourceForge). To contrast, I stay at many hotels which do not shape or euphemistically "manage" P2P traffic, and I'm lucky to get 1 kB/s most nights. You can't do squat with that amount of bandwidth.
I might care more if there was more legal P2P stuff going on, but there's not. For every legit Suse 10 download, there's 18 gazillion illegal CDs and DVDs being stolen by folks who will never listen to watch even 1% of the stuff they download.
This has NOTHING to do with censorship. I fight against censorship. I've sent my MP copies of 1984. I have personally spoken to my senator about freedom of speech and Internet issues for more than half an hour. I've engineered the technical security of DNS in Australia to protect privacy. I've helped the EFA. Have any of you "this is censorship" commenters done any of that? I doubt it. Go destroy your Torrent client and get out there - help Electronic Frontiers or Amnesty International and do something for folks who actually are hurting.
This has everything to do with making legitimate customers like me happy, and annoying the 1-2% of leeches who will not be satisfied with even a free dedicated 1 Gbps fibre to the door. They can go get stuffed.
Comcast - don't stop now. Also, when you have a second, please block port 25 outbound.

Title: Internal and External Sources of Political Instability in East Timor
Dr D Kingsbury; Dr MP Leach
2007 : $38,774
2008 : $40,006
Category: 3601 - POLITICAL SCIENCE
Administering Organisation: Deakin University
This project is of direct relevance to Australia through its bilateral and multilateral provision of police to assist in the maintenance of East Timor's law and order, through its training of and support for the East Timor Border Patrol Unit, and its training and support of the East Timor defence force, Falintil‑FDTL. The project also goes to the core of Australia's concerns with regional state maintenance (or conversely, potential state failure), direct bilateral relations with both East Timor and Indonesia, and the triangular relationship between these three states.
Title: Local Governance, Multiculturalism and Active Citizenship: The Case of Arab‑Muslim Diaspora in the West
A/Prof F Mansouri; A/Prof SM Kenny; Prof DR Walker
2007 : $49,000
2008 : $46,000
2009 : $46,000
2010 : $39,000
Category: 3701 - SOCIOLOGY
Administering Organisation: Deakin University
This project will advance our understanding of the best practice approaches towards the management of intercultural relationships within multicultural communities. It will generate international benchmark data on the management of multicultural spaces and will lead to a range of practical policies for local city councils, NGOs and state governments. The findings will form a robust empirical basis for understanding the optimal way of formulating government‑NGOs partnerships in the successful implementation of culturally responsive policies. The study will also result in the development of effective policy responses aimed at enhancing active citizenship, social cohesion and intercultural understanding.
Title: Managing ethnic tensions and developing religious tolerance in South India and Sri Lanka
A/Prof RN Bastin
2007 : $20,000
2008 : $46,294
Category: 3703 - ANTHROPOLOGY
Administering Organisation: Deakin University
The enhanced knowledge of Australia's neighbours, specifically two countries that have provided significant contributions to Australia's multicultural complexion, as well as an enhanced sense of the issues involved in managing ethnic tensions in a secular state will be the benefits of the study. Both sites have been the objects of previous social and cultural studies, but not compared together in terms of religious tolerance and state control. The research will also strengthen ties between scholars in Australia, India and Sri Lanka, while having application to issues of tolerance and mutual respect between communities in all three countries.
Title: Redesigning schools and school leadership: an Australian comparative case study
Prof JA Blackmore; A/Prof DN Hayes
2007 : $70,000
2008 : $70,000
2009 : $70,000
Category: 3301 - EDUCATION STUDIES
Administering Organisation: Deakin University
This project on school redesign addresses an urgent need identified in Government and OECD reports for schools and systems to redesign in order to be more responsive to multiple social and economic pressures while addressing significant disparities between schools. Longitudinal case studies with a focus on schools in particularly challenging circumstances will reconceptualize the relationship between sustainable school reform, leadership, student learning and school‑community relationships. These are all policy priority areas. Communication strategies aim to inform policymakers, professional associations, the new National Institute for Quality Teaching and School Leadership, and schools about how to conceptualise and sustain reform.
Title: The role of representation in learning science
Prof RW Tytler; Prof VR Prain; A/Prof BG Waldrip; Dr PJ Hubber
2007 : $120,000
2008 : $88,000
2009 : $109,000
Category: 3301 - EDUCATION STUDIES
Administering Organisation Deakin University
School science is a core area for the future prosperity and health of Australia. Poor student attitudes to science and low involvement in post compulsory science are of national concern. This project, by taking a fresh perspective on key learning issues in middle years science, when student attitudes and future plans are being forged, has the potential to lay the groundwork for more successful learning, increased retention into post compulsory science, and enhanced public science literacy. By focusing on effective and innovative pedagogies and assessment strategies the project has the capacity to enhance science students' capacity for innovation, potentially laying the groundwork for increased productivity in the longer term.
Title: Blind Signal Separation from Unidentifiable Systems
Dr Y Xiang; Dr VK Nguyen
2007 : $50,369
2008 : $50,369
2009 : $50,369
Category: 2802 - ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND SIGNAL AND IMAGE PROCESSING
Administering Organisation: Deakin University
This project will contribute to the designated national research priority goal on frontier Information and Communications Technology. The outcomes of the project will advance the theory of signal processing and enable performance improvement of a wide range of hi‑tech applications. This project will enhance Australia's research reputation and competitiveness, promote the understanding and applications of advanced signal processing techniques in local industries, and provide excellent training opportunity for PhD and Honours students.
Title: Development of methods to address internet crime
Prof W Zhou; Mr Y Xiang
2007 : $74,000
2008 : $74,000
2009 : $74,000
Category: 2801 - INFORMATION SYSTEMS
Administering Organisation: Deakin University
If this research accomplishes successfully, it will be a big step forward in terms of traceback scope, accuracy, usability and deployment. This will empower authorities to control and punish Internet crimes more effectively and efficiently. It will also limit the damage caused by Internet crimes quickly. For example, if we can quickly identify the origins of a fast spreading virus, we will be able to prevent its propagation as fast as possible. If we can quickly identify and block a harmful phishing site, then less innocent people will be deceived into disclosing their credit card numbers, bank account information, passwords or other sensitive information.
Title: The bipolarity of Late Palaeozoic marine faunal distributions: origin, processes and implications for modern global marine biogeography
Prof GR Shi; Dr AS Biakov; Prof S Shen; Prof J Tazawa; Prof CM Henderson; A/Prof K Ueno
2007 : $60,000
2008 : $60,000
2009 : $50,000
Category: 2601 - GEOLOGY
Administering Organisation: Deakin University
The fossil record of 'deep‑time' ecological processes provides the only tangible tool and material to probe into the dynamics of past biotic responses to global environmental perturbations at a temporal scale extending well beyond the human impact. It is in this context that the project is linked to the National Research Priority Goal 1.5 (Australia's biodiversity), Goal 1.7 (climate change and variability) and Goal 3.1 (breakthrough new knowledge). In addition, the project will enhance Australia's global research profile through multinational and multidisciplinary research collaborations, and, importantly, also provide a crucial training opportunity for the next generation of Australian palaeobiologists.
Title: Omega‑3 fatty acids, appetite and growth in farmed fish
Dr GM Turchini; Prof SS De Silva; A/Prof M Paolucci
2007 : $90,000
2008 : $90,000
2009 : $85,000
Category: 3007 - FISHERIES SCIENCES
APD: Dr GM Turchini
Administering Organisation: Deakin University
Project Summary:
Australia has very limited wild fish supplies, and with the increasing realization of human health benefits of fish (i.e. omega‑3 fatty acid) there is a need to increase availability through aquaculture. However, feeds used in aquaculture contain costly fish oil with limited global supplies. Attempts made to substitute fish oil with vegetable sources in aquaculture feeds have been mixed. This international, comparative and multidisciplinary project aims to reduce the dependence on fish oils through investigation of basic fatty acid metabolism and endocrinology on farmed fish to ensure that human health promoting characteristics in the final product are retained.
Title: A Microstructure Based Approach to Steel Design for Improved Crash Performance
Prof PD Hodgson; Dr I Timokhina
2007 : $145,000
2008 : $135,000
2009 : $135,000
2010 : $100,000
Category: 2913 - METALLURGY
Administering Organisation: Deakin University
There is a continual need for the automotive industry to develop vehicles with increased fuel efficiency and safety. This research will establish how different types of new advanced steels can contribute to improved crash worthiness, while also helping to increase fuel efficiency through lighter weight. This will lead to the development of new steels that offer even better crash performance while also providing more realistic computer models for car designers.
Title: Titanium Alloy Scaffolds for Osseointegration Implant Materials
Dr C Wen; Dr W Yan; Prof GC Nicholson
2007 : $110,000
2008 : $110,000
2009 : $110,000
Category: 2914 - MATERIALS ENGINEERING
Administering Organisation: Deakin University
Australians' life expectancies are among the highest in the world. Degeneration of load bearing bones in the elderly of age 65 and over often requires the inception of biomaterial implants. For the hip and knee replacements alone, there are over 52,000 operations performed in Australia each year at an estimated cost of over $500 million. The success of these procedures depends on the implant biomaterials. The outcomes of this project are a new category of porous bone implant materials for load bearing applications.

|Isafruit: Nutrigenomics in Overweight
|Brief Summary
The investigators will assess the protective and antiinflammatory effects of processed fruit and fruit fibre in overweight subjects with signs of metabolic syndrome. A single-blinded parallel study is conducted to investigate the protective effects of fruit fibre on colonic epithelium. Relevant signalling pathways related to cholesterol metabolism, vascular inflammation, oxidative defence, apoptosis and sterol metabolism will be targeted. Volunteers are randomly assigned one of three groups. They are instructed to follow a polyphenol and pectin restricted diet for six weeks. The last four weeks in this six week period, the restricted diet is supplemented with whole apples (550g/day), apple pomace (22g/day) or nothing. Blood, urine, faecal samples and colon biopsies are collected before and after the four weeks intervention period.

Late last year, Italian sports car automaker Automobili Turismo e Sport, better known as ATS, announced that it was getting back in the car-making game after a 50-year hiatus, with a two-car lineup consisting of the 2500GT and the track-ready Sport 1000. Designed to take the world's ultra-focused ...
Their models may not be for everyone, but at the end of the day, Radical has a winning formula: make an LMP race car for consumers. In fact, the formula is so successful that Caterham and Lola essentially replicated it with the SP/300.R. Radical aims to further its model with a new closed-roof ...
