The Vanguard is an annual experiential urban leadership gathering of the best and brightest young urban leaders working to improve cities across sectors, including urban planning, community development, entrepreneurship, government, transportation, sustainability, design, art and media. Each year, Next City selects 40 applicants whose bright ideas for cities, experience in the field and ambition for the future all show great promise to become members of the new Vanguard class.
Serving as a host to Next City's annual Vanguard Conference is a unique opportunity for a city to show off its latest urban development projects with the country's smartest emerging leaders and get ideas from bright young thinkers. In addition to organizing the conference, Next City brings media coverage and attention to your city.
Vanguard members are leaders in government, urban planning, finance, art and culture, community development, entrepreneurship and DIY urbanism. Since participating in the Vanguard conference, many have gone on to become senior leaders in their cities, companies and organizations.
"I encourage any city to pitch to host future Vanguard events as they will raise the city's profile and draw on the creativity and experience of some of the smartest young urban thinkers to address local urban challenges with a fresh pair of eyes and limitless zeal."

We'd love to host the conference here again!"

November 27, 2014
USAToday - Jackson, Miss., is the worst U.S. city for people with allergies, according to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. The foundation releases its list of "2013 Spring Allergy Capitals" today, based on pollen scores, the number of over-the-counter and prescription allergy medications per patient and the number of board-certified allergists per patient.
The foundation ranked 100 of 320 cities in the continental USA for the 10th year. Its website includes an interactive map of the top 100 with pollen scores as well as resources for patients and doctors. The list of cities was funded this year by Dymista, a nasal spray for relief of allergy symptoms.
"We do this ranking to make people aware of their environment and what they may face," says Angel Waldron, a consumer health advocate for the foundation, based in Landover, Md.
Outdoor allergies (also called seasonal allergic rhinitis or hay fever) occur when tree pollens and other outdoor allergens are inhaled into the nose and lungs.
Several southeastern cities sprang up in the list this season. The southeastern coastal region has a number of pollinating trees, such as red cedar, hackberry, elm, willow, poplar, bald cypress, bayberry, wax myrtle, ash, birch, hickory, pecan, paper mulberry, sycamore, mulberry, oak and walnut, Waldron says.
"With climate change, they are exposed to higher temperatures for longer periods," she adds.
William Berger, an adviser for the foundation, says it is important to see a board-certified allergist for diagnosis and treatment. He says it's a misperception that kids will outgrow allergies:
"Most people will have symptoms throughout life," adds Berger, an allergist in Mission Viejo, Calif.
Waldron says the list is not intended to encourage people to move away from the "worst" cities. "We encourage people to use this list as a talking guide with a board-certified allergist."
Top 10 worst cities for allergy sufferers
1. Jackson, Miss.
2. Knoxville, Tenn.
3. Chattanooga, Tenn.
4. McAllen, Texas
5. Louisville
6. Wichita
7. Dayton, Ohio
8. Memphis
9. Oklahoma City
10. Baton Rouge

Native battling for USA
On a day when most Americans are enjoying the fun and festivities associated with the anniversary of our nation's independence, one of Tunica's native sons will be fighting it out for the good ole US of A.
Fortunately, this battle only involves the perils of cooking over a hot grill, with the only carnage being the pounds of pork and poultry being prepared for the "United States Versus Canada Barbecue Contest" held in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada on July 4.
"We're cooking about 670 pounds of ribs, roughly 180 butts and 5,000 pieces of chicken," said John David Wheeler, whose "Natural Born Grillers" cooking team will be competing in the inaugural US Versus Canada international cook-off. "We're going to be feeding about 4,000 people and competing against teams from Canada. It's going to be a big deal."

30 mins

This is one that will have your tastebuds begging for more. Note: When cutting hot peppers, disposable gloves are recommended and avoid touching your face. I saw the cutest idea. Place one very small whole pepper or one whole cranberry in each sterilized half-pint jar pouring over the liquid jelly and processing as recommended. This recipe halves easily. Also, I used cranberry juice cocktail in place of pure cranberry juice.

FORT MYERS, Fla.- Twenty one year-old Kelsey Roberson's body is riddled with stab wounds. But she feels lucky. She thought she lost her baby.
Roberson says she was trying to sell her car to Michael Ginsberg, an acquaintance who worked at a dealership. But when she met up with him she says there was no sale.
"He went crazy. He started punching me. I was screaming I'm pregnant I can give you anything you want. But he just kept stabbing stabbing stabbing me in the back," Roberson said.
She says she tried to protect her stomach knowing she could lose her son at any moment.
"That's when he threw me in the back of the car, drove me a couple miles down the road from his house."
She says she was trying not to breath, to pretend that she was dead.
"I heard the doors lock, it was dark, I just laid there for a few minutes and said 'I'm going to die," Roberson said.
Roberson eventually pulled herself up from the backseat and decided to get out of the situation herself.
"I got to the front seat and I picked up my leg and I put it on the dashboard and I put on my high beam lights and used my good leg and laid on the horn," she said.
She doesn't know who heard her, but an hour later deputies came to her rescue. When Roberson got to the hospital she was expecting to hear she lost her baby. But an ultrasound revealed he was alive and healthy.

Two of the teenage finalists in a citywide entrepreneurial competition crafted a goat's milk soap. Another pair dreamed up a tutoring app, and a high school senior pitched a custom skateboard business.
About 50 current and past finalists from the Network for Teaching Entrepreneurship program in the Chicago Public Schools — plus 300 members of Chicago's business community — will get to hear life lessons from stars in local entrepreneurial ranks at next week's Elevating Entrepreneurship benefit.
A live discussion will feature Morningstar chairman and CEO Joe Mansueto and Grosvenor Capital Management CEO Michael Sacks (both are investors in the Sun-Times parent company, Wrapports).
Mansueto — who also owns Inc. and Fast Company magazines and is the controlling shareholder of TimeOut Chicago — has always had entrepreneurial tendencies. "In college, I sold soda from my dorm room," he says. "I formed Morningstar as a bootstrap startup in my apartment without venture capital when I was 27."
His history makes him an ideal judge for the annual competition. "His story really resonates with the students," says NFTE executive director Christine Poorman. "He's been a judge for the last four years, and he remembers every student whose business plan he's been pitched."
Sacks joined Grosvenor nearly 21 years ago when the company had six employees; since rising to lead the company in 1994, he has grown the team to 270. Last summer, Mayor Rahm Emanuel appointed him vice chair of World Business Chicago, an economic development group. "I think entrepreneurship and leadership are critical skills, whether you're inside a mature business or launching something entirely new," Sacks says. "Managers like people who are thoughtful and aggressive and think outside the box, and that embodies what entrepreneurs are."
NFTE targets students at 30 Chicago high schools in low-income communities. "We take kids who don't understand how school relates to their lives and teach them why they have to understand science or computer technology to start a business," Poorman says.
The non-profit operates an annual search for the best business plan; it starts with a group of 1,500 students who get whittled down to 36 semifinalists and then six finalists who receive venture grants. Creators of the top two business plans — this year by Christopher Loehrke ("Signature Skating") and Aja Beckham and T'erra Williams ("Lip Splash," a custom lip gloss company) — will travel to New York in October to compete for $10,000 in venture grants.
At next week's event, about 25 students will showcase their business ideas and offer their products for sale to attendees. "What really excites me is to see our students speaking the same language and interacting with Chicago's top business people," Poorman says. "They'll talk about 'competitive advantage,' 'the economics of one unit,' 'return on investment.' It really gives them a leg up."
They'll also have the opportunity to ask questions of the featured entrepreneurs. "I like to talk to kids about the idea that all the cliches you've always heard about 'no shortcuts, hard work and integrity' are true," Sacks says. "The closer you can keep that to front of mind, the better off you'll be."
The Chicago Sun-Times is the media sponsor of this event.

Beatrice Coron is a storyteller. Her work is about letting the viewer construct their own interpretation of her scenes. After a series of odd jobs and an art degree from the Ecole des Beaux-Arts of Lyon, she moved to New York in 1985. Her body of work ranges from intricate cutouts to public works and screen prints. Currently her cutouts are a part of "The Art of Storytelling" exhibition at the American Visionary Arts Museum in Baltimore, Maryland. I'd highly recommend checking it out in person!

Art as Mobiles
I don't know about you, but I have a thing for mobiles. I have always had a mobile of some sort suspended in my studio. I find them calming, and I think that relaxed feeling helps me come up with ideas for illustrations more easily. Maybe it's just me? :)
In my search for something new, I ran across these that sparked my fancy.
1) Calder inspired by Julie Frith | 2) Origami cranes by MadebyJo | 3) Origami stars by theStarcraft | 4) Matisse inspired by Puka Puka

BTN is doing a HORRIBLE job of showing past Michigan/MSU games this week. I'll have to check out your selection.
Great news - welcome back!
Actually more like Wolverine Propagandist -- after visiting your webpage you'd think we never lost a game. But whatever. Glad to have you back!
Wait. That's how I remember it. What are you trying to tell me?
Yeah.......my favorite poster is back!!!!! You're my lifeline to the past - glad you're back and better than ever my friend.
Would love to comment but I'm too busy perusing YouTube at the moment!!
now put together something awesome and special per msu...
(which you've actually already probably done but yes i am that lazy)
The actually content couldn't have been more of an emotional flip flop from wariness to happiness.
I first thought..."uh oh"
Then I thought my depth charts would be null-and-void with an em0 return (never met the guy, but everyone says he loved the depth charts)
So I clicked, closed my eyes in horror and saw "WolverineHistorian" before I read anything else. Needless to say. #happydance.
Looks like parkinggod is back as well! Great stuff all around!
Looks like thanksgiving came early this year!
thread OP upvotes without a downvote?
As of right now, it's at 88 upvotes and zero downvotes for Wolverine Historian's proclamation. Keep those upvotes coming!
So many good videos back up and running, thank you WH, THANK YOU!!!!!
I now have something to do at work today, thank you!
WH is the beez kneez!
Great to hear - you've put in some quality work and it was a shame that it was getting blocked.
Awesome! Welcome back!
Great work! I will be watching many of them.

Checked Baggage
Explosives detection systems (EDS) are large, belt-fed machines used to scan unopened checked luggage, in which explosives pose the only critical onboard risk. Drawing on technology adapted from medicine, EDSs are basically computed tomography (CT) x-ray machines, which, like the new AT/DV x-ray machines, use software to interpret data from multiple x-ray diodes.
These machines, most manufactured by either L-3 or GE Security, have a tube-shaped gantry consisting of a massive lead sheath enclosing a spiral array of 11 x-ray diodes. The tube rotates around the bags as they ride a conveyor belt through the machine. The machine's software interprets transmitted x-rays to generate a detailed, three-dimensional image of the bag and its contents, including identification of potential explosives.
Some forms of EDS have been around for a decade or more, but the technology continues to advance. For example, the throughput of traditional EDS machines is roughly 300 bags per hour. Rapiscan, however, plans to field a technology that can work four times faster, called the Real Time Tomography (RTT) system, Kant says.
Rather than a rotating gantry with 11 diodes, the RTT systems rely on 400 stationary diodes performing the same function, providing 1,000 to 1,200 data points for software analysis in a single instant. The vastly increased amount of data will aid in detection, while the instantaneous scan would speed the process.
The added speed of the RTT system would require multiple screeners to review baggage images if the machines are to provide their maximum throughput. Kant, however, says that one RTT machine would replace several traditional EDS machines.
Passenger screening is also evolving to keep up with changing threats. Threats now include not only guns, knives, and plastic explosives but also liquid explosives, radioactive materials, and pathogens. These threats have increased the need to move beyond the traditional metal detector, but that creates special challenges because humans cannot be subjected to the same x-rays as baggage.
Full-body imaging. One way that this challenge is being met is with the full-body scan systems, which use backscatter x-ray or millimeter wave technology. These generate much lower levels of radiation (less than 10 microREM versus 100 milliREM allowed per year). While they rely on different bands of the electromagnetic spectrum, backscatter and millimeter wave machines operate on the same principle. Like radar or sonar, the machines project energy onto an object, and the software interprets what is reflected back.
Generally, the waves penetrate clothing unaffected, are absorbed by hard objects like guns or explosives, and are "scattered," or reflected back to varying degrees by organic material, including flesh.
A backscatter machine is about the size and shape of a vending machine; the subject gets scanned twice—once while standing facing the machine, then again while facing away from it. The millimeter wave machines that TSA has purchased, manufactured by L-3 Communications, are hexagonal booths with dual sensors that simultaneously sweep across a subject's front and posterior. They produce a photo negative-like image of a bare body with inorganic threats in black.
The technology works, but it has run into opposition based on privacy concerns. The American Civil Liberties Union has dubbed the machines a "virtual strip search" and "an assault on the essential dignity of passengers that citizens in a free nation should not have to tolerate."
TSA defends the technology. The agency notes that it is far less invasive than the traditional physical search. In fact, passengers subjected to secondary screening at Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, when given a choice between a physical pat down and a full-body scan, choose the latter 90 percent of the time, according to TSA. Civil libertarians counter that most people don't know exactly what the images entail.
"Determining how the public feels about this is going to affect the future of it," Howe says.
To address the privacy concern, TSA has asked manufacturers to tweak the algorithm to blur the face in the image. Certain backscatter systems offer what may be a more desirable privacy feature: the subject's body is presented not as a full image, but instead as a white outline reminiscent of the chalk outline at a crime scene. Threat objects are superimposed.
To boost privacy further, the TSO who views the full scans is sequestered from the checkpoint. If the TSO spots a potential threat, he or she radios the checkpoint to order a pat down.
In addition, the TSA's policy requires that the scan images be deleted the moment review of the scan has been completed, Howe says. Asked about the value that such threat images might have in criminal investigations, prosecutions, or for intelligence, Howe says the TSA wrestled with the question, but opted to make a clear commitment for the sake of privacy.
"If [a suicide bomber] was going to get screened, they'd have blown themselves up already. And if you call over law enforcement, you're not going to need the image," because they will have the actual item, Howe says.
As of this summer, the TSA operated backscatter machines manufactured by American Science & Engineering Inc. (AS&E) at three airports—Los Angeles International, JFK, and Phoenix—for secondary screening versus a pat down. A total of 38 L-3 millimeter wave machines were in use at nine major airports for primary continuous screening, with three more airports planned by the end of the year, says Howe.
Howe notes that a millimeter wave scan takes 15 seconds compared to the backscatter's 40 seconds—extra time that adds up at high-volume checkpoints.
Checkpoints also still use magnetometers. Given the prevalence of nonmetallic threats and the prevalence of harmless metal items both on—and in—passengers' bodies, such as medical devices, Joe Reiss, vice president of marketing for AS&E, questions the ongoing value of magnetometers.
Howe, however, predicts that walk-through magnetometers will be present at TSA checkpoints for the foreseeable future. Each one costs about $5,000, while a new millimeter wave scanner costs roughly $200,000.
As for the privacy issue—it's not going away. Cathleen A. Berrick, director of homeland security and justice issues for the independent Government Accountability Office, tells Security Management that the TSA has yet to fully allay privacy concerns surrounding the use of full-body scans.
Special needs. Some passengers, such as those with casts or prostheses, need special consideration when going through a screening checkpoint. TSA observes strict procedures to protect the rights and dignity of all passengers with disabilities. The question is how to meet security objectives without causing distress to these special-needs passengers.
With that in mind, TSA policy allows TSOs to inspect and touch devices like prostheses, but agents cannot compel travelers to remove them for inspection or screening. That's where the technology can help.
To mitigate the risk presented by these devices, TSA, working with the imaging company Spectrum San Diego, Inc., developed CastScope. Roughly the size of an office water cooler, CastScope features a moveable backscatter array approximately the length of a person's forearm or lower leg. As with full-body backscatter scanners, the system's x-rays penetrate casts or prostheses to reveal any threat objects within. Each scan takes only 2.5 seconds, according to the company.
TSA began pilot testing of the CastScope early in 2007. It has since purchased 37 of the machines, according to the agency.

Well odds are much better it's a cold and we thought we'd arm you with the top myths about flu for the next time that happens.
This is just part of a long list we found on web-m-d dot com.
First, if your kid is standing in the kitchen telling you about the flu unharmed, they don't have it.
Flu is much more serious and knocks even a healthy child out out, in bed, for days.
200,000 a year are hospitalized for it.
Second myth is that the flu *vaccine* cannot give you the flu.
The injected virus is dead and it's more likely to just give you a sore arm.
Third, antibiotics can fight the flu is a major myth. Flu is viral, those drugs are for bacterial infections.
Fourth and a major pet peeve of health care workers.... there is no such thing as the stomach flu.
If your kids have vomiting and diarrhea, it's likely a gastrointestinal virus, there is no flu limited to your tummy.
Number five myth is that cold weather causes the flu or brings it on.While your kids should have a hat on in this kind of weather, if they leave it off or forget it... they are *not* more likely to get influenza.
Of course most experts recommend checking with your doctor if you really do think it's flu because there are some things they can give you or your kids to make it a little easier to manage.

As an American citizen, I have become cynical about our national political process. As a Fort Wayne citizen, I believe that local politics are very important and one of the last places in our country where an average citizen can be heard and affect his or her community.
I am not a Republican, Democrat or independent, and I am not affiliated with any political group, union or organized labor. Yet I believe that the three ordinances submitted by Councilmen John Crawford and Russ Jehl embody some of the worst political habits in our nation.
These ordinances were announced on May 9 – a Friday – and introduced on May 13 a Tuesday – leaving only one full day for open discussion and dialogue with those it will affect. During that time, however, the councilmen had ample opportunity to voice their arguments on radio, TV news, and in long newspaper articles.
As a citizen then, even though the damage may be done, some of the evidence presented for these ordinances needs correcting, especially if we hope to maintain in our community some semblance of the democracy we take pride in. What has been presented to us is the worst kind of contradictory fact-selecting and fear-mongering.
Here are the top 10 examples of this offensive governance:
1. The argument behind all three ordinances is that public-sector unions are too expensive. If that is the case, then why do two of the three ordinances protect the two unions whose presidents' full-time salaries total $200,000, while the remaining seven combined only paid $11,917 over nine months for union work? What is really being saved?
2. Yes, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the average median weekly wage for a union worker in 2013 was $1,003, and that a non-union worker's median wage was $757 for local government work. That is a national average, including data from the most heavily unionized and expensive states in the country: New York, California, Alaska and Hawaii. If we're talking about local costs, shouldn't we use local numbers?
3. According to the U.S. Census, the average median household income in Indiana is $48,374; Fort Wayne's household income is $44,599 (almost $4,000 below the median); 18 percent of our neighbors live in poverty.
4. STATS Indiana (run by the Indiana Business Research Center and IU Kelley School of Business) reports that Fort Wayne, compared with the rest of Indiana, is not only below the median income per household, but that local government workers only earn an average of $1,200 more per household per year.
5. Comparing apples to apples between city and county jobs is pure spin. With economic data about Fort Wayne listed above, isn't it more accurate to say that county workers are underpaid 10 percent to 20 percent, rather than city workers being overpaid? After all, everybody in Fort Wayne is making less than they would elsewhere, and STATS Indiana reports that wage decline has been consistent in Fort Wayne since 2000.
6. Detroit? Really? I am not sure which part of that argument is more offensive. The Detroit situation is complex, stretches over decades, and involves a fair amount of economic damage inflicted on the city by deindustrialization. Fort Wayne faced that challenge in the 1980s and is still on its feet. The closest thing to Detroit in the area is Youngstown, Ohio.
7. If public-sector unions have Fort Wayne slouching toward bankruptcy and our financial situation is insolvent, how have we managed major construction and renovation projects downtown over the last few years, and have just found millions more for the acquisition of Aqua Indiana and to bring in Ash Brokerage?
8. It is near impossible to compare jobs between the public and private sectors, because often comparisons can't be made. Municipal jobs are highly trained and specific, and lack private-sector counterparts in many cases.
However, comparing the wages of a civil engineer in the two sectors from numerous sources indicates a private-sector civil engineer makes at least $7 more an hour than the public counterpart in Fort Wayne. So engineers aren't recruited because they don't want to join unions or because they make more money somewhere else?
9. It's absurd to assert that the total cost of collective bargaining (not an annual cost; not all the unions bargain yearly, and contracts lasts several years) is such a massive drain on city resources that it inhibits necessary services. How we are continually able to annex new townships, acquire utilities and still manage emergency response, snow removal and the like?
10. What job does not offer its employees incentives or not have rigid work rules? The councilmen should try working retail. All employers have a set of codes, handbooks and procedures, listing possible benefits and consequences of various actions. One would think that when it comes to public service it is that much more important to have rigid work rules; the job involves serving and maintaining the public trust.
I do not know Crawford or Jehl. I have never met or spoken with them, things I would enjoy doing. I believe people can disagree and find common ground, but not when one person is kept in the dark.
I have read all three ordinances and combed through a lot of research. Nothing about what we're being told adds up, and I do not believe the argument in front of us. I would really like to know what this is all about: why here, why now, why this way?

Wii got it WRONG: How do you solve a problem like Nintendo?
Re: Mod it.
Yup, stick on a HD loader and a 2.5" external drive and you have a decent enough media player as well as iPlayer, DVD player etc plus near instant access to all your games with no disc swapping.
Sure for the hardcore first person shooter player, its not going to cut the mustard, but keep in mind that they are in the (vocal) minority. It created a whole new concept in family gaming, and appealed to a much wider audience that any previous games system. The control system was revolutionary enough that MS and Sony had to find a way to include similar functionality. To describe it as a fail is nonsensical on pretty much any level.
However I agree with the argument that it was a unique product at an appropriate time, and following it with a warmed over "more of the same" was not going to maintain that sales momentum.
What should Ninty have done? IMHO, created a new next gen console to match the current competing lineup in hardware terms. Slap in backwards compatibility to let you bring your old games and controllers with you, and you might convert some of the keener family gamers as well as enabling the hard core gamers with a platform capable of running current HD titles.
Also maintain the Wii as a parallel line to cater for the new market that it created. refresh it with fully featured media playing capabilities and an HD output built in wired and wireless networking, DLNA streaming etc. Above all, allow the price to fall to the casual purchase level. It then becomes the goto box for a media player to upgrade all those second TVs etc,

Coding: 'suitable for exceptionally dull weirdos'
Re: Comment from the Cockwomble in question
Computer science taught properly is far from "non academic". Its a rigorous and broad syllabus (not to be confused with computer studies, or ICT).
Its also worth highlighting that maths and physics, while very worthwhile subjects in their own right, are not in any way prerequisites for computer science. Yes there are some specialised areas of software development that require strong mathematical skills,. however most don't.
Successful software development can draw on many skills and aptitudes - many creative as well as hard science based. A maths degree is not going to make you a wizard at good user interface design.

Not only compression
but they seem to be ignoring coding gains in the transmission stage. They assume a symbol rate near the Nyquist limit, but then ignore the fact that multiple data bits can be encoded per symbol yielding data bit rates far higher than the actual baud rate. Even using today's 256QAM (as used in HD digital terrestrial broadcast), you would gain you another couple of orders of magnitude throughput.

Some of those folks who went through the hassle of upgrading their aerial so as to get reliable DTV operation (especially in the switchover period), may suddenly find they need to do it yet again!
Lots of people swapped from grouped aerials (i.e. ones designed to work effectively only on a subset of the allocated TV broadcast frequencies), to "wideband" ones that attempt to cover the full range of frequencies (470 - 862 MHz). Needless to say the "jack of all trades" wideband aerial is a bit of an engineering compromise, and they don't perform as well as the narrower band grouped aerials. This is most noticeable at the bottom end of the TV spectrum (i.e. group A channels). Hence people in marginal reception areas attempting to re-tune to a lower frequency set of multiplexes, could find themselves back to the days of unreliable reception.

Re: Re:30% chance of pregnancy after 50 'perfect uses'

Behold ATLAS, the fastest computer of 50 years ago
Re: Compute time was billed at around £750-800 per hour
Compute time != computer time. ATLAS was a multi tasking system, so in modern parlance the CPU time spent solving your pet problem (i.e. the "compute" time) would not be the same as the amount of elapsed time the computer spent running your program. Or in other words, even if it took an hour to run a program to completion, it may have only actually applied 5 minutes of actual compute time to it during that period.

The key to battery life on the Xperia Mini Pro seems to be to add the android switch widgets that let you control things like GPS / Wifi / Bluetooth etc, and use them to turn off things you don't need at the time. GPS especially is a power hog. With all bells and whistles running, then you will need to charge it once a day certainly. However kept in standby, with wifi, mobile data, GPS off etc, and it will run for 5 days between charges with just a few calls and texts to deal with.

...is quite a nice take on the "all in the keyboard" theme. Infinitely better than the "all in the monitor" designs that seem to be common elsewhere.
Hackers may be able to 'outwit' online banking security devices
Barclays *is* two factor...
The Barclays implementation requires something that you know: i.e. your PIN and your personal customer number (not the same as your account number), plus something that you have - i.e. your debit card.
The Commodore 64 is 30
Better graphics, is a bit questionable. The TED chip gave you more colours, but the things you lost (hardware sprites, and the audio prowess of the SID chip) meant that animation and sound was never close to what the C64/128 could achieve, and that killed it for games players. The bundled apps of the plus/4 were at best "token" and not of any real value other than as a marketing hook.

Hydrogen is a PITA to handle though
Much better to combine it with carbon sequestered from CO2 in the atmosphere and make synthetic diesel.
aha, the reason no one will play a two player game with me even to this day!
Yes many fond memories... level 28 of Mayhem still haunts me to this day. I took weeks of trying to complete that. One lemming to save, and about 9 minutes to do it in.
Two player lemmings is where I earned my reputation as an "utter utter bastard!", to the point that SWMBO (who was my beloved GF at the time of lemmings release) is highly wary of playing any two player (computer!) game with me these days. There they would all be, happily walking safely to the exit, green clad lemmings in one direction, blue the other. Could I resist the temptation to upset the happy balance? It seems not. Quick turn one around with a quick attempt to build by some obstacle, or area of confined headroom, and then "oops", there appears to be a blocker right in the middle of someone's carefully constructed bridge! Or, for devastating effect, (my speciality), dig the ground away from under the opposing exit and watch them frantically try to get a builder to repair the damage. Oh how easy it was to ruin it all with a basher when they finally managed.
I can still hear the exasperated screams of "oh, I am not playing with you any more!" ;-)))
Errata : SWMBO was just read this over my shoulder, and proclaimed "its not just me", "its the reason that nobody will play two player lemmings with you! In fact they are now wary of pretty much any multi-player game, right from Scrabble to Monopoly!"
Intel mad for power, but stacked-up dies keep MELTING!
Who is Eric Moore when he is at home?
... or is this a new Moore's law we have not heard about?
The IBM PC is 30
February 1984's IBM PC Portable and the August-announced PC AT
The PC-AT did not just have a faster 6MHz processor. It had a faster 6MHz 80286 in place of the 8088/6 of the earlier machines, and also a 16 bit wide version of the expansion bus (or ISA bus as we know it today). It also brought us what we would now recognise as the standard keyboard layout.
LulzSec hacker Sabu: Murdoch emails 'sometime soon'
Even if it does throw question over the voracity of their email database...
It would be interesting to see if they (NI) can produce the actual backups of the email database to refute (or more likely confirm) the claimed content.
The thing about email is that at least one copy of every email sent or received probably also exists on someone else's computer over which you don't have any control.
So for an investigator with a copy of the hacked emails, it would not be too difficult to take a random sample, contact the other parties to said emails, and verify if they do indeed match. Once you have a good correlation it becomes a whole lot harder for NI to refute and claim they have been altered by the hackers.
Mac trojan evades Apple's brand new security fix
Apple must be rubbing their hands with glee...
I am sure Apple must be viewing this as a glittering marketing opportunity. First you need a bogey man to get people scared and make the draconian medication seem more palatable ("war on terror"?). Then you "offer" to limit software installations to those sourced through the approved app store.
Shrinkwrap vendors will be encouraged of course to contribute their big high ticket apps to the store as well - to create a better "user experience" with streamlined purchase, install and updates just a click (and credit card number) away.
How long do they wait until this starts to become the *only* way to get software on the machine?
Even armed with the DVD bought from the retail dealer, you still need a permission token from the app store. Its just for your added protection you understand.
Then the software vendors find that every route to market needs participation from the app store. Oddly they have started to charge for this. Only an admin charge to "cover costs" though. Oh, and that charge applies to updates as well. Users this is in your "best interests" so its better you just accept it. After all you would not want to have to jailbreak you Mac now would you?
Software vendors, you obviously would not want to write anything that conflicts with Apple's world view now would you - just in case there is a vetting procedure for software to get permission to be sold to the Mac user base. Remember just because they paid for the thing, its not their computer. Oh, and we have "simplified" the app store for vendors now - there is no longer a charge for adding your product to the store. Instead we will simply charge small fee based on 30% of the sale price.
Any of this sound familiar?
In true Apple tradition, its ok to punish your loyal customers, but its better to get them to pay to be punished. They will like you more that way.
Cameron cocks up UK's defences - and betrays Afghan troops
Tanks still have a place
If you read any of the crop of recent front line accounts from Iraq* and Afghanistan, it seem fairly clear that there is still a significant use for armoured brigades to support troops on the ground in counter insurgency roles. Columns of Warrior APCs supported by Challenger II main battle tanks often proved to be the only way of safely delivering vital resupply and troop relief in urban siege situations like that of Cimic house in Iraq.

Anti-piracy lawyers' email database leaked after hack
How is it?
Everyone seems obsessed with whether this counts as a hack or just a more general brain fart on behalf of the web site admins, and yet they are not asking the more obvious question; i.e. WTF is any of this information doing on a public web server in the first place?

E-book readers attract unwanted VAT
Another can of worms ripe for opening
Who else can see the wrinkle? Buy this nice shiny e-book - its VAT free!
(oh, and by the way, it comes on a reusable 32GB SD card or whatever other storage device would benefit from being punted VAT free).
I was about to say, cue future budget and watch Gordo back pedal with cries of "Oh you naughty people, I never intended you to take advantage of my legislation like that!", but with a bit of luck Gordo and mates will be history by then.
Gov confirms plans for Sky box in charge of your house
They have load management already!
Its seems rather odd that "load management" is a selling point of these devices. Reasonably sophisticated load shedding capabilities are already built into the distribution network.
At times when demand exceeds supply capability, parts of the 11kv network are equipped with smart transformers that can be remotely instructed to reduce the voltage of the network supplying an area in steps of 200V or so. This manifests as a small voltage drop on the low voltage part of the network feeding end users, and hence a corresponding reduction in load (most domestic load being resistive in nature, ohms law applies!). Unlike remotely switching things off, a slight overall voltage reduction generally goes unnoticed.
Anti-filesharing laws revive crypto fears for spooks
Since we know that the encyption is rarely the weak part of the chain
A more general move to encrypted comms will prevent large scale eavesdropping. That seems like no bad thing. For all the bluster about it preventing the security services doing their jobs regarding the usual suspects, the result is, that it will make little difference.
After all, they can still get a court order and go and demand the intermediate host (facebook or whoever) hand over logs for a given user, or they can lean on the various other weak points in the system where the information is in plain text (bugging your PC if they need to). What they won't however be able to do is a general fishing expedition with bulk data mining to try and fit "crimes" to recognisable patterns of behaviour (bad for the 1% of cases where they have spotted a real crime, but good for the 99%+ false positives). They will need to focus their investigations on cases where there is a genuine interest / intelligence, or an established investigation. This is how things were before they got sold on the technocrats wet dream of being able to see everything, any-time, anywhere, without needing to put any effort into it.
As for the "If you have done nothing wrong, then you have nothing to hide" brigade, lets put this one to bed once and for all. What you say is right, *if* you can fully accept the two fundamental principles that the logic is founded on:
1) That the people you are entrusting to look at your data can be relied upon 100% of the time to keep it secure and private, and;
2) that they will only every have benign intent (and that includes anyone or group that may be able to influence, infiltrate, or hack said organisation).
Hopefully our current government and civil service have ably demonstrated that 1 can't be relied upon (copy of a HMRC CD anyone?), and anyone who has ever heard of a minion being bribed / blackmailed / tricked into disclosing personal information should realise 2 is impossible to guarantee. (and that was before unsecured and unofficial wireless LANs were making a broad range of "secret" civil service IT systems visible to the man in the street (literally!))

A few years ago, we compiled a book with you. You taught us that collaboration is powerful. And you did it again.
We don't have any photos of the book to show you yet, because it's currently in production. We can tell you that it's 10" wide by 8" tall, 127 pages, full colour, lay-flat bound, and we didn't skimp out on paper quality, storytelling, or design.
In 2012, we set out to create something beautiful with you and for you, and that's exactly what happened. We found something that wasn't visible before. We proved to ourselves that it is possible. And you inspired the hell out of us.
We still have a few left, and you can still own one of them!
We started with two, but now we're a multitude. What's more important than who we are is why we are. We are because art can make a difference. We are because to grow, we need change. We are because Sudbury can sometimes use a hug. If you agree with us, then you are us, and you're already part of the solution.

After trailing 28-7 at halftime, the Pointers (4-3, 2-2 WIAC) clawed their way to within seven with 2:06 to go. Starting deep in their own territory at 12, UWSP drove down and faced a fourth and four at the Eagles 17-yard line. On the final play of the game, Mitch Beau (Fond du Lac, WI/St. Mary Springs) hit Luke Neubauer (Shawano, WI/Shawano) on a slant but Neubauer was stopped at the two-yard line as the Eagles (2-5, 2-2 WIAC) held on for the win.
After the Pointers opened the scoring on a Brodie Johnson (Altoona, WI/Altoona) 35-yard blocked punt return early in the opening quarter, UW-La Crosse scored four unanswered touchdowns to take a 28-7 lead into halftime. Eagles quarterback Trent Cummings threw three touchdowns to three different receivers in the first half.
UW-Stevens Point started the second half strong by marching down the field and scoring a touchdown to cut the deficit to 28-14. Beau's seven-yard touchdown run capped a 12-play, 70-yard drive in 5:35.
The Pointers got within seven early in the fourth quarter on a four-play drive that lasted just 33 seconds. UWSP's defense forced a three-and-out and a short punt gave the offense the ball at the La Crosse 43-yard line. Beau then hit Sosinsky twice, once for 25 yards and then for an eight-yard touchdown.
Jake Luedtke (Sussex, WI/Sussex-Hamilton)'s interception deep Pointers territory was part of a second-half defensive effort that saw UW-Stevens Point keep UW-La Crosse off the scoreboard. However, the Eagles defense did just enough to keep the Pointers at bay on the final drive to pick up their third straight win in the series.
UWSP outgained UWL 440-260 for the game and the Pointers recorded 28 first downs compared to just 13 for the Eagles. However, the Eagles got three takeaways and committed the lone turnover themselves. Shane Rockweiler had a game-high 16 tackles for UW-La Crosse.
For the game, Beau was 30-for-52 for 278 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions. Neubauer had eight catches for 81 yards, while Sosinsky made five grabs for 61 yards and a score. DeJuan Wright (St. Petersburg, FL/Keswick Christian), Adam Vesterfelt (Janesville, WI/Parker), and Beau combined for 160 yards on the ground.
Outside of a 30-yard touchdown run by Jude Williams in the first quarter, the Pointers defense limited the Eagles to 47 rushing yards. Cody Seibel (Kewaskum, WI/Kewaskum) led UWSP with 12 tackles, including 2.5 for a loss. Mitch Chester (Green Bay, WI/Southwest), Bo Seibel (Kewaskum, WI/Kewaskum), and Jay Kuenster (Sauk Prairie, WI/Sauk Prairie) logged sacks for UW-Stevens Point.
The Pointers look to bounce back next Saturday at UW-Oshkosh at 1 pm.
