Not happy with what Obamacare has done to your health care arrangements? Here is a practical guide to opting out.
The New England Journal of Medicine and authors of a commentary on e-cigarette use have ignored our call for correction of a substantial error regarding e-cigarette use among American schoolchildren in 2011 and 2012. Authors Amy L. Fairchild, Ronald Bayer and James Colgrove of Columbia University double-counted some users in a figure they used to illustrate data from the National Youth Tobacco Survey (NYTS).

I don't agree with the New Republic's Jonathan Cohn very often, but in a recent article he said, "everybody should be cautious about making firm pronouncements about how the Affordable Care Act is doing." Amen to that.
Of course, Mr. Cohn can't help himself. He uses that reasonable statement as a launching pad for attacking, "…Cruz, Barrasso, and all the other hard-core Obamacare opponents on the right." He just can't imagine why these people might be skeptical of Administration claims about enrollment.
Ezra Klein recently released a 2-minute clip explaining the need for individual mandates under Obamacare. Man, does that guy talk fast!
Mr. Klein gets most of his explanation about right, with one big exception. He says that a family making $80,000 a year will (eventually) be penalized $2,000 for failing to buy coverage — "less money than health insurance will usually cost you, but you don't get anything for that money," he says. Uh, that's understating things quite a bit. A family insurance policy costs $16,351 according to the most recent employer benefits survey from the Kaiser Family Foundation.

The Obamacare "disaster" is everywhere. Recently, a poll in Transom showed that 42% of Indpendents trust democrats in regards to healthcare, whereas 58% trust Republicans. Ben Domenech, senior fellow from The Heartland Institute, says the poll shows a major shift in attitudes; historically, democrats have been viewed in favor regarding health care.

Some Democrats are beginning to break their oath of silence as Obamacare crumbles.
Perhaps the most pernicious side effect is the erosion of the provider-patient relationship. When I first began working with electronic health records, I caught myself staring at the computer screen instead of engaging patients, who rightly felt ignored.

Book Description
Autobiography of Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, President of the World Chess Federation ("FIDE") from 1995 to the Present. This is an amazing book because it describes the break-up of the Soviet Union and provides an autobiography of how a man realizing the huge changes in the process of taking place in Russian society was able to become a millionaire.
Most of the public commentary about this book has been concerned with the title to Chapter 8: "It only takes two weeks to have a man killed". However, this has been misrepresented out of context. The correct context is that in 1993, following the break-up on the Soviet Union, free elections were going to be held for the first time in Kalmykia. Kirsan Ilyumzhinov, a young businessman, decided to run on the platform that he was going to abolish the KGB. This made a lot of people unhappy, especially the KGB, and Kirsan received a threatening telephone call.
Kirsan Nikolayevich Ilyumzhinov was born on April 5, 1962. He is a Kalmyk multi-millionaire businessman and politician. He was the President of the Republic of Kalmykia in the Russian Federation from 1993 to 2010, and he has been the President of FIDE (or the "World Chess Federation"), the world's pre-eminent international chess organization, since 1995. He has also been in the forefront of promoting chess in schools in Russia and overseas. He is the founder of Novy Vzglyad Publishing House. In addition to his native Kalmyk, he is fluent in Russian, English, Japanese, Chinese, Mongolian and Korean.

I got the same one (copy) which I got at Venice Beach and yes in the latest biography it states how Jim didn't like that wording.
my friend owns a guitar store and this is his poster...
I also have a poster of them when they did New Haven. Not an original..wish I did have the original. It would be worth a ton. It also says Jim Morrison & The Doors. I know how much Jim hated that. If you are looking for original Doors memorabilia, there's a website called The Doors Collector Magazine. If there's anyone out there that hasn't heard of it, you can find some great stuff there. All original, but a pretty penny. Not to long ago they had an original copy of An American Prayer, signed by Jim. Selling for 6,000 dollars.
Mine is a reprint. It doesn't have the "22". Is that an original?
no its a remake...they were playing the whiskey that night not in NY...gotta love fakes...LOL
I have that same poster in my mancave! I'd really like to get my hands on an original.

Help malnourished elders

ALTHOUGH OBESITY makes
While many older people are fit--some even running marathons in their 80s--others become frail. These frail elders, who may have trouble eating, digesting or accessing food, are vulnerable to malnutrition.
While hospitalized, about
Malnutrition can cause weakness, falls, hip fractures, anemia, skin ulcers and confusion. It also can weaken the immune system.
But before you can fix malnutrition, you have to figure out what caused it. Start by asking your loved one how the weight loss occurred.
The top 10 causes of malnutrition, along with some solutions and resources, are below:
Some elders on a fixed income are forced to choose between food and medicines.
Contact your local agency
These are also great options for folks who have disabilities, weakness or severe arthritis, making it hard to prepare meals.
If an elderly person has stopped driving, getting food can be challenging. Consider taking the person grocery shopping--it can be a fun social event as well as necessary for keeping the person nourished.
Also, many grocery stores deliver, and some pharmacies have mail-order options.
If lost teeth or loose dentures are a problem, consider serving softer foods to your elderly loved one.
For example, instead of dry chicken breast, serve ground chicken sauteed with onions and tomato sauce. Instead of a crunchy salad, consider tender, cooked veggies. Instead of a hard apple,
An elderly person who is having trouble chewing should see a dentist. Medicare and other insurance plans cover some dental work.
Some people choke or cough while eating and drinking. If this happens frequently, ask the doctor if
If your loved one is underweight, ask your doctor about loosening fat, cholesterol and sodium restrictions. The American Dietetic Association's position paper recommends "liberalized diets" for some frail elderly people in nursing homes.
According to the association, "as many as 65% of [facility] residents experience unintended weight loss and undernutrition."
For some people, malnutrition and weakness are worse threats than fat and salt. But be sure to ask the doctor before making changes.
If the doctor allows, you can boost calories and protein by adding melted cheese to veggies and using real eggs in omelets. Peanut butter is a heart-healthy fat, and a good choice on crackers. Ditch all diet, sugar-free and low-fat foods. Underweight people need extras.
In terminally ill people, appetite loss is normal. There's no need to push food on someone who is dying, because food does not cure terminal illnesses. In this case, the goal is comfort, not weight gain.

Google sets Android on pirates
Android now comes with an API allowing applications to phone home to check for a licence when launched, locking out pirates and anyone with an unreliable data connection. The "Licensing Verification Library" does allow the developer to permit caching of responses, so an application shouldn't stop working when one gets on a plane …
My applications already do this using their own bespoke setup (MyBackupPro for example). This system just allows everyone to do the same without writing lots of code and hosting your own authentication servers, Google will do all that for you.
I think this is win/win. It's a win for Developers, it's a win for Android consumers, it's a win for Google. Obviously the only people that will be upset are the pikey freeloaders.
Until google decide to monetise this too...
... by sending back everything you do...
"Dont be evil - unless there's money to be made from it" (the true google slogan)
If you think it's great news (and it is)... how can you class it as non-news?
Obviously the only people that will be upset are the pikey freeloaders.
Or anyone on a foreign holiday who returns home to find their monthly bill bumped up by roaming data charges...
Or anyone who gets locked out of their app in areas of poor/non-existent data reception because the developer chose to apply an overly-strict phone-home policy...
Or anyone who doesn't like the idea of their app usage being potentially tracked...
I don't have an issue with developers wanting to protect their work, but I do have an issue with any protection scheme which has real potential to screw things up for genuine purchasers of said work. If I had a pound for every time I've heard someone say "I've bought the original, but I still use a pirate copy because it works better" then I'd be pretty damned rich by now. I'd also have had to pay myself a few quid, because I'm one of those people who've been bitten by over-zealous protection schemes preventing me from using stuff I've paid for until I found a crack.
Who are the real freeloaders anyway?
Is it "freeloading" to expect to be able to use a piece of software for nothing?
Or is it "freeloading" to expect to be paid a sum of money every time someone uses a piece of software that you wrote?
And depending on how this is implemented it may not stop the pirates anyway.
Great until ...
... I go on holiday and disable data for 3 weeks.
As long as they set sensible limits, I'm happy with this ... maybe a big re-validate all button on the Android config screen to give you a month of grace?
Sorry? This *is* news...
Copy and paste the body of the article into your favourite text editor, change all instances of "Google" to "Apple" and re-read it. If it were Apple doing this, the majority of lazy commentards would be ranting apoplectically about how evil Jobs is and "HOW DARE THEY!!! IT"S MY DEVICE!!!" Et cetera...
People complain about Apple because Apple dictate what software can and can't be loaded on the phone. This is merely about allowing developers that charge for their app to have some confidence it won't get ripped off by freetards.
There's nothing wrong with this and the model chosen (especially the caching of responses and piping everything through Android Market to ensure apps don't need excessive privileges) seems quite well considered and thought out.
But its a tradition on the Reg comments...
to give Android a free ride. Android is so perfect that it is beyond criticism.
Despite the fact that its full of bloatware, has a fragmented OS/UI, and most android devices have dreadfully short battery life.
If I was a developer I would stick to iOS. Your code wont get pirated and you have access to a much larger and growing ecosystem.
According to this guestimate in Wired, iOS devices are selling "42 percent more than Android".
Do you really want to be stuck developing for a second tier platform where your code is open to freeloaders and the like.
Re: Sorry? This *is* news...
Exactly as Arkasha said, and to add to that, you do still have a choice. Nobody forces you to use the Android Market provided by Google, you can choose another app store, like SlideMe etc. That is what Android is about.
If Apple had done this, the users wouldn't be able to choose another App Store.
As a developer myself, this is a good thing.
Allow me to retort from sanityland
"to give Android a free ride. Android is so perfect that it is beyond criticism."
Yes, there are a lot of Apple haters on El'Reg, who do side with Android. Just as many as there are Android haters who side with Apple. Since we're neither*, lets continue:
"Despite the fact that its full of bloatware, has a fragmented OS/UI, and most android devices have dreadfully short battery life."
The UI has stayed pretty much identical from the start, yes there are several versions and there are several versions in the wild, as with iOS. Your point being? OS's evolve, smartphones suck battery? Welcome to Earth.
"If I was a developer I would stick to iOS. Your code wont get pirated and you have access to a much larger and growing ecosystem."
I think you'll find that Android has the trumps on the larger and growing ecosystem. Just purely by the sheer number of devices running (and soon to be running) it. Piracy, did you read the article or just the title? That however is irrelevant, see below.
"Do you really want to be stuck developing for a second tier platform where your code is open to freeloaders and the like."
No, that's why I chose Apple and Android. This gives access to the two largest phone platforms and now thanks to Google, I have some piracy protection on Android.
As a developer, I want profits. At the moment, they come from the iPhone, as Android grows and it's user base outgrows the iPhone's, the lower profits from Android will eventually gain on that made from the iPhone, and I'll be earning the best I can be.
Like you say, you're not a developer, so you're posting on this article because? Ah yes, your previous comment titles:
- Antennagate vs Bloatware
- Flash version for Android
- Open Android? In your dreams
*You're an Apple fanboy aren't you?
It's all a matter of picking your poison.
With regards to the original post, I do remember the outrage on Apple providing an optional means for developers to make money, called iAd. But really, any Apple and/or Android article brings out the flames and the juicy juicy page hits, eh?*
I've got a T-mo G1 on 1.6** and Android has some things that still really really bug me. First, the fragmentation is very annoying: My less-than a year old android unable to upgrade to 2.0***, when two year old iPhones/iPods can run 4.0****.
On the Android UI, ennnh. It's fragmented even within the same OS. Sending a text message, the 'send' button is above the keyboard. In other apps, the fame functionality is in the bottom of the keyboard.
In the browser, there's no way to know if hitting the back button will exit the browser, go back one page, or close that window and return to another window. I've seen all three actions. Sometimes when you exit the browser and come back, all the windows are gone, and maybe even missing from history. Horribly inconsistent unless you've memorized how it functions and what state it's in.
In messaging, if you switched by holding down home, sometimes hitting back will take you to all threads, sometimes it exits the app. If you use Menu>More>All Threads, it appears you've exited the thread, but if you hit back again, the thread you've exited from reappears.
AC@15:57 is quite right; As a developer, follow the profits. I disagree with him that I am not sure that Android will be a stronger revenue source in the future. Or rather, that Android's marketplace will reach as many customers as things like OPhone and carrier customization fragment things. But that's the reason we don't put all our eggs in one basket.
*Not that there's anything wrong with making an advertising buck. By the way, is it me, or did El Reg's flash-based adverts go away?
**Yes, even though I'm an iPhone dev, because I want to give AT&T as least of my money as possible. I used to have a Sidekick, but MSFT killed that off.
***I'm aware that if I were to root and hack my system I *might* cobble together a 2.1 build. But that'd be like saying the iPhone doesn't have app store restrictions because you can jailbreak it.
****Technically you can install iPhone OS 4 on a 3G, but I'd heavily advise against it, which is a nice way of saying, 'it sucks on the 3G'.
Very nice,
But I've not seen any copy protection that works 100% (apart from the PS3, and that's because its partially hardware).
People will just end up cracking either android or the software or both like they do on iPhone.
A nice idea for software trials for the average user though... but piracy always finds a way I'm afraid.
But "good enough"?
I think you may have missed the point here, much like a lot of folk, and it comes down to finding a balance that (a) keeps enough income for you, the developer, and (b) avoids pissing the legitimate customer off.
If you keep say 80% of users paying a quid or two for their apps, and no one really has trouble, then you could sell millions and you have won financially.
If, on the other hand you piss off your users but enforce 99.9% pay rates then you could end up getting a few quid from just a couple of thousand. FAIL.
Sadly a lot of companies fall in to the 2nd category because the believe their IP is so damn precious they can't allow anyone to bypass the increasingly complex, expensive, and inconvenient systems. Which often don't work for long as there need only be one hacker that is brighter, luckier, and/or more resourceful then them.
Find the right balance and you will be rewarded, maybe Android will have it? Devil in the detail though.
Wait until the Daily Mail gets hold of this!
The Google docs say:
"The application provides its package name and a nonce"
Oi! You nonce!
re: Wait until the Daily Mail gets hold of this!
That's just Nonce Sense (etc.)
Good stuff
Glad Google is doing something about the rather easy piracy in Android, it's long overdue.
Pikey Freeloaders ?
I don't have any problem with buying software but if I need to go to china currently it costs me a fortune to call back with my mobile or use data while I'm there.
This will just increase the cost unless developers set it to reasonable limits like checks once a fortnight or every 100 launches, rather than everyday or every launch.
Could cost
Some data roaming rates charge per day used and there is usually a 100 kb minimum charge per session. For visitors to the US for example, validation could soon cost more than a typical app price.
Minimal problem on iPhones?!
.. apart from my missus (who works for apple) everyone I know with an i-cant-phone has it jail broken and rammed full of "trial" (read: stolen) apps ..
Of course, this could just say something about the sort of people I know (financial fools maybe, but at least minimally tech savvy) ..
"If it were Apple doing this, ..."
...it would be an improvement. Since it's Google doing this, people are upset. It's all about the baseline.
1984 avatar because... you know...
One can only hope..
..that this will screw those spamming tards all over the app store, spamming their pirate site-.All over the feckin' app store, a******p********d.com (I don't intend to give those meerkat mimsies a free advert).
As it is, done right, this will work like steam, as long as the caching is used properly.
What part of open source did I miss
Well everyone else covered roaming data charges, and time bombed shiteware and most of the other good stuff. But I can still add this nugget:
Android is open source right? Even if they don't open source that module it wouldn't matter any at all. The API is known, most anyone with just a little time and a compiler should be able to defeat this or any other documented API in fairly short order. You say "Oh no, that would beak marketplace". WHY? I can wrap and rename marketplace - done and dusted. WAY easier than installing a custom build when you don't have root access. Well some people allege to have figured that out in some special cases. But it seems you must have physical access to the hardware to make that work, so no worries there.
I agree with not wanting your stuff pirated, but this seems trivially stupid.
The eternal arms race
I haven't fully read the docs, but it does look like they use public key encryption to ensure that the response is a valid one coming from Google, and that some of the API is compiled into your app. That is, it's entirely possible that the only part the OS provides is the HTTP connection. If the verification also includes an encrypted timestamp to thwart repeating the verification, even replacing the OS might be insufficient to crack it.
Of course, were you to modify the application, all bets are off already, open source or not.
Oh well
If this proves to be in the slightest inconvenient with respect to software I bought, or if I get a whiff that its is harvesting more data, I'll just replace the validation lib with something I wrote myself and give it away.
But what if I'm underground?
What if I (in New York) am on the New York subway; there's no signal there. Does that mean I can't launch my app? I regularly fire up an ebook reader or a game of solitaire or similar so I can pass the 1/2hr or so until I reach my destination without being bored.
Having a anti-piracy API require live-data access just doesn't work. It should create a cryptographically signed key which can be stored on the device and is specific to the device. Then the app can verify the key at startup regardless of data access.
An API that reports back to the mothership
...from the biggest data harvesters on the planet. Not especially surprising. I wouldn't have anything as personal as a phone with an OS written by Google. Looks shiny and everything, but just...no. Or an iPhone, for similar reasons.
Will not buy app which includes this technology
Any app with a "dial home in order to work" schema will not be installed on my phone. As listed by others, roaming and data charges are a big concern, but the bigger issue for me is the longevity of the developer. What happens if the developer is no longer around to provide authorization tokens? How will I get a refund for the application and my time spend to learn it when I can no longer use the application I paid for?
I tend to keep my apps around, and I have a VERY BIG issue with "I just fixed the help file, it is now a new version, please update / upgrade for only 50% of the original purchase price" which seems to be the trend in the industry. I have no issues with developers being paid, but I do have an issue with forced upgrades or mixing up a SALE (can use the software forever once I paid the license) with a TIME LIMITED RENTAL (until next rev comes around, 6 to 8 month down the road, then only the newer version gets tokens).
I still use once in a while my WordStar on a Kaypro 4 CP/M computer, and it still works, although none of the companies involved are still around (Digital Research for the OS, WordStart Corp. for the program and Kaypro for the hardware). If Google gets its way and this dial home for token schema takes off, you are SOL when, not if, any of the companies involved in the authorization chain goes out of business or decides to stop supporting the older versions of their software.
I've run into DRM issues with critical pieces of software which are no longer supported (vendors out of business, huge expenses to move over to a competitor) in the CAD and CAM world, and I see no reason to buy with my personal cash into the same problem on my cell phone.
Hope Marketplace clearly marks the apps which dial home in order to work, so I can avoid them like the plague....
RE: Palm OS
"Palm OS had a nice feature locking applications to user names, which not only meant applications couldn't easily be copied between users but automatically allowed migration to new hardware."
Not very effective, though. There's an easy to use app that lets you spoof or reset names on a per-app basis.
Just another reason not to use Android for me
While it's reasonable that developers should have some means of protecting their work, the features mentioned for the API in this article go way beyond that purpose. Giving developers the option to limit the number of times the app can be launched? That stinks of the same rip-off as that known as pay-per-view. If I pay for an application or media content, I get to keep it for as long as I want and use it whenever I want, without being forced to pay again and again for what I've already purchased. These artificial restrictions are tantamount to theft, because they take my money and then prevent me from using what I paid for. And it guarantees I won't be using the Android platform now or in the future.
Not on my phone
Phone home before I can use app I already paid? There is no way in hell I'm going to install any of those. If you happen to be overseas, as already pointed out here, the data charge would be huge (remember mobile data charge by a block of certain amount).
However, it is still miles better than Apple, at least, you don't have to use the "official" market.
Market app is not open, not on all Android phones
There is a problem with using the Market app to "call home". As it hasn't been released under an open source licence, only phones with licences from Google have it. Those using the fully open Android code (like Android on Freerunner) cannot use this code, since they cannot install the market app.

Our big adventure at the zoo was helping a lost scared little 3 year old girl. Turns out her mother had left the building. We sat with her for what seemed like an eternity scanning the crowd, waiting for someone to acknowledge her absence. I can only imagine how long it felt like for her to be standing there with strangers waiting for her mom to reappear . And then luckily her panicked mother came running through the door. The little girl had gotten out of the front of the stroller at some point but they thought she was still in it. Thankfully her mom retraced her steps. Whew.

Malaysia Airlines Update: MH370 Search, Discounted Fares, New Partnership
As Ebola headlines dominate the mainstream news, Malaysia Airlines has been busier than ever. Still in the midst of a search-and-recovery operation for MH370, the airline is also going through a number of structural and ownership changes. To catch you up, here are the latest updates:
• After unveiling its new plan at the end of August, the airline's majority shareholder, Khazanah Nasional, is attempting to buy out all minority shareholders. If the offer is accepted, Malaysia Airlines would become privatized.

The Next Chapter for Malaysia Airlines Starts Now
Khazanah Nasional Managing Director Azman Mokhtar addressed reporters last Friday
Malaysia Airlines announced on Friday that it will lay off 6,000 of its 20,000 employees as part of its restructuring plan, aiming to once again make a profit four years from now. Khazanah Nasional, the investment arm of the Malaysian government and the majority stakeholder in the airline, said it "would carry out the restructuring by creating a new company with a 'right-sized work force and work practices and contracts.'"
As expected, the plan also includes the cutting of routes, although the specifics will probably not be finalized until a new management team takes over next July. In the meantime, Khazanah is giving nearly $2 billion in bailout money to the airline to help it balance the budget during the transition, restructuring, and rebranding.

Malaysia Airlines Will Reportedly Cut Routes While It Restructures
A few weeks ago, we gave you the scoop on how Malaysia Airlines might rebrand itself given the two unfortunate and unlucky incidents it had this past year. There's no new livery to speak of yet, but the dirty work is about to begin. The airline is reportedly about to launch the first phase of its rival plan, which aims to move it from government/public ownership to one that is privately operated. Unfortunately, it's going to mean the cancellation of routes and the loss of jobs.
The Wall Street Journal wrote yesterday that, according to its sources, "Malaysia Airlines will stop flying to some unprofitable routes in China and other places such as Frankfurt," Australia, and Dubai.

Malaysia Airlines Mulls Name Change
Regardless on how accountable one might hold Malaysia Airlines for the two tragedies of the past six months, there's no question the airline's brand and identity have been considerably tarnished.
It's way too early to know if there will be any long-term impact on future business success, but it appears MH won't be waiting around to find out. In a media release, it announced that it has already begun considering a new brand identity, including a new name, to go along with a restructuring of routes. The Malaysian Government, which is the majority shareholder of the airline, said it would all be in an effort to draw new investors and rebuild.

Passengers of Malaysia Airlines Have Time to Revise or Cancel a Flight Without Penalty
The fact that no one is placing blame on Malaysia Airlines for what happened to MH17 last week is not stopping the airline from offering full refunds to those who wish to cancel their future flights.
Passengers have until Thursday, July 24th, to make adjustments to their itineraries without a change fee, and even get reimbursed for a non-refundable ticket. The offer applies to flights scheduled now through the end of the calendar year.
We think the move deserves a hat tip. After the disappearance of MH370, we were critical of the way the situation was handled, but supportive of how Malaysia Airlines runs its business otherwise. Despite the unbelievable events of the two incidents, we found that the airline did a lot of things right on a day-to-day basis. Looks like Malaysia Airlines is learning from its mistakes, and has made a classy move here in this utmost display of customer service.

Malaysia Airlines 777 with 295 Onboard Crashes in Ukraine
Breaking News
At approximately 10:15am EST, Malaysia Airlines lost contact with a 777 flying at 33,000' on its way from Amsterdam, Netherlands to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. There were 280 passengers and 15 crew onboard, and the flight was 1/5 of the way complete when it passed over the Ukraine and the current war zone near Donetsk, where Ukrainians are locked in violent clashes with pro-Russian rebels.
It is believed the aircraft was shot down by a ground-to-air missile.
While the loss of the aircraft has been confirmed by Malaysia Airlines, the issue of it being shot down hasn't yet been accepted as fact.
First, the airline tweeted the short and vague news of the disappearance:
Malaysia Airlines has lost contact of MH17 from Amsterdam. The last known position was over Ukrainian airspace. More details to follow.— Malaysia Airlines (@MAS) July 17, 2014
The tweet was followed by the first official report, posted to the airline's Facebook page with as many details as they had available:

Don't Let the Disaster Fool You; Malaysia Airlines Does A Lot of Things Right
Obviously, the press for Malaysia Airlines hasn't been the best of late given the on-going search for the unsolved mystery that is Flight 370. Making our way to Borneo this week, we flew the airline from Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur (4 hours) and then on to Kuching (1.5 hours). Despite the unpleasant images that come with the mention of its name, we actually really enjoyed our experience flying Malaysia Air. In terms of its everyday flying policies and procedures, it does a lot of things right.

Throwback Thursday: Big, Clunky, Expensive Satellite Phones on Airplanes
Sure, we love all the speed and comfort of modern travel, but it didn't get that way overnight. Every Thursday, we're going to take a look back at travel the way it used to be, whether that's decades or centuries ago. This is Throwback Thursday, travel edition.
Yesterday, on a JetBlue flight from Boston to San Francisco, the airline had a record 125 devices connected to its new Fly-Fi in-flight WiFi, with speeds up to 28 Mbps.
To the average traveler, technology like this (with Skype easily running over the wifi) seems a bit like magic, but then again the simple act of making an air-to-land phone call also seemed like incredible magic only a decade ago.

PR Expert Says Malaysia Airlines Was Atrocious About Handling MH370 News
As recently as a week ago, the consensus was that the coverage surrounding MH370 - though by turns saddening, horrifying, and infuriating - wasn't really damaging the reputation of Malaysia Airlines. The Sydney Morning Herald interviewed a bunch of analysts who went even further, saying that not only was there limited erosion right now, but that any negative impact in the future "was likely to be modest and short-lived." Things were obviously not going well, and most people expected the worst, but airline disasters are often treated far more as generic tragedies than airline-specific incompetence. That seemed to be happening here.
If that's how things end up - if MH finally emerges from this crash with its brand more or less intact - it won't be because they didn't make spectacular efforts to fuck it up. Instead, it's like the airline went out of its way to alienate people, from the victims' families to entire countries. This took some effort.

Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 Missing with 239 Onboard
Above: 9M-MRO, the aircraft involved
A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777-200ER has disappeared over where the Gulf of Thailand becomes the South China Sea, and neither the airline nor authorities are sure of its whereabouts or fate.
Flight MH370 left Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia at 12:41am local time Saturday and disappeared at 2:40am. It was meant to land in Beijing at 6:30am local time but, as we write this, it is already past 10am without any sign of the aircraft. The last radio contact and position on FlightRadar24 shows it traveling on course at 35,000 feet.
Malaysia Airlines hosted a press conference to confirm that there is a search and rescue operation underway. Fuad Sharuji, Malaysia Airlines VP of Operations, on CNN's AC360, states the only definite: "at the moment we have no idea where this aircraft is right now."

The Latest Airline Food News, from Gluten-Free to Luxury Ice Cream
Gone are the days when a hot meal was a complimentary part of any flying experience, so when any in-flight menu changes make the headlines, we get a little giddy. Here, for easy digestion, is a round-up of the latest in airline food news:
· Virgin America wanted their passenger's thoughts on the new First Class ice cream served in their swanky premium cabins, so they took to Twitter for a final decision. Designed specifically for the airline by San Fransisco-based ice creamery Humphry Slocombe, three unique flavors now complement Virgin America's existing Tahitian vanilla. Either Red Hot Banana (banana ice cream with Red Hot candies), Butter By Moodlight (buttery with a blueberry glaze) or Coconut Blonde Ambition (vanilla marshmallow fluff meets lemon sorbet) will make it the trays for transcontinental flyers.

New Routes Arriving from JetBlue, Delta, and Air Berlin
Sometimes it's hard to stay on top of all the new route announcements that come our way, so we've complied a little bit of a rundown below. As long as you can afford the fares, this should definitely help add to your passport stamp collection.
· Air Berlin:
We know we're sometimes guilty of not enjoying the moment and always looking ahead, but when it comes to transatlantic travel you can't help but think about what's next. Air Berlin is doing exactly this, as they're already thinking of boosting their options for the warmer months of 2014. The plan is to start three more weekly flights between Berlin and New York-JFK beginning next May, and that will bump things up ten weekly options. The flights between Dusseldorf and New York-JFK will also be doing their thing ten times per week. Finally, Air Berlin is also boosting their flights between Berlin and Chicago-O'Hare to make things a daily option.
· Malaysia Airlines:
This one is certainly a bit away from where we call home, but if you're looking to make your way around the globe it's a great option. This week Malaysia Airlines started nonstop service between Kuala Lumpur and Darwin, Australia. The flights will do the back and forth thing thanks to some Boeing 737-800s, and this is option number six for the carrier from its base in Kuala Lumpur. Other destinations in Australia include spots like Perth, Sydney, and Melbourne—among a few others. As of now flights are scheduled to run four times each and every week, so say goodbye to Malaysia and g'day to Australia.

November 28, 2014
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) - The NBA has rescinded one of Demarcus Cousins' technical fouls, allowing Sacramento's leading scorer to play Monday night at Oklahoma City instead of serving an automatic one-game suspension.
Cousins had picked up his 16th technical foul of the season Sunday night at Houston. Normally, a player with 16 technical fouls in a season is suspended for the next game.
Coach Keith Smart says he got a call from NBA executive vice president of basketball operations Stu Jackson to inform him that Cousins would be eligible to play.
Cousins also was in jeopardy of being suspended for a game at Oklahoma City last April before having a technical foul rescinded by the league.
The Thunder were holding out starting center Kendrick Perkins (hamstring), sixth man Kevin Martin (back) and reserve Derek Fisher (foot) because of injuries.

While an isolated case of favoritism would not be grounds for a harassment charge, ruled the court, employees may sue if the message conveyed in the workplace is that women are sexual playthings or that they must engage in sexual conduct with supervisors to get ahead. In the case, a prison warden was conducting four simultaneous affairs and used his authority to get the women special treatment such as promotions and perks. (Miller v. Department of Corrections, Supreme Court of California, No. S114097, 2005)

By now you'd think the electric power industry would have perfected the art of smart meter deployments. Yet far too often I see utilities repeating mistakes already made by their predecessors. One mistake is to fail to take advantage of the specialized tools that have been created to speed the process.
By Sangeet Dutta
Fortunately, utilities are much better equipped now than ever before to avoid the potential pitfalls of smart meter installations and to finally reap the rewards.
The answer is the business process management approach
Until now, no one has taken the business process management (BPM) approach of combining our knowledge of human behavior with workflow optimization techniques. The lack of this methodology has quite possibly been the greatest mistake made in AMI deployments to date. It holds the key for utilities to not only conduct more successful rollouts but to also productively manage customer touch points in an effective way so that AMI deployments leave a lasting, positive legacy.
So how is this accomplished? Through the use of mobile workflow optimization solutions. These are techniques such as "forced march" and fault-resistant workflows that can be applied when deploying en masse with contract labor. This approach enables the uniform training, deployment and management of large groups of installers. It reduces liability, prevents damage and injuries, and increases safety compliance for utilities.
The "forced march" workflow, for example, finds the perfect balance of interaction between human being and automated system, facilitating the process of designing out errors. Established fault-resistant workflows can further address issues like "batching" – when old meters are removed and new meters are installed in a mismatched fashion, causing the potential for customer billing issues and inventory discrepancies – by implementing photography, barcoding and GPS data into process steps.
The benefits of the tailored approach
The benefits of this tailored approach to AMI deployments include eliminating lost meters; improved physical tracking of meters in a deployment; and the ability for utility personnel to quickly implement best practices for ensuring efficient and quality installments.
With hundreds of previous deployments to learn from, the industry has adapted and created processes to rapidly and effectively address both seen and unforeseen issues. Now, it is just a matter of putting these workflow optimization solutions into effect – replacing the negative public perception that has formerly existed with a positive and optimistic outlook on a better energy future for utilities, vendors, and customers.
Sangeet Dutta is the vice president of operations for Apex CoVantage. With more than 27 years of leadership experience in the power industry and extensive involvement in smart grid projects on a global scale, Mr. Dutta holds degrees in electrical engineering, finance and accounting, applied technology and general management.

This is a truly substantial board, dense and weighty. Its size allows more than one operation to occur simultaneously, which compensates for the counter space that it uses in our kitchen.
Much too heavy for normal use. Unfortunately was paying attention to the wonderful size of it and never noticed whether or not the weight was posted. Much too heavy for me to use, passed it on to a much stronger person.
She absolutely loves the board. I thought it might be too heavy for her since she's in her 70's, but she loves it, and says the weight is no problem. There is no meal now that she does not use the board for in some compacity

Often my wife and I are cooking at the same time. So I bought 3 cutting boards to cover our needs. The description of the John Boos boards the availability of boards in a large variety of sizes along with having seen one at some one elses house led me to choose this manufacturer. The performance of the board to date is excellent and the groove etched into each end makes handling/moving the board easy. I would recommend this manufacturer's board to any one.
I purchased this cutting board as a gift. I own the same board and think there is nothing out there that compares. I have given the same board to my two daughters and to two other friends when they updated their kitchens. It tucks nicely on top of my microwave oven when it is not in use.
Perfect size. Not too heavy. Reversible, too. One side is only for raw flesh. The other for everything else.
Don't forget to only clean w/ Kosher soap. We also spritz the meat side after use w/ a mixture of 1 tblspn bleach and 1 qt water, to sanitize. The best sanitizer is sunlight. Ours drys out under big kitch window.
For anyone who does any cooking this is a MUST have! From the weight to the sturdiness this board is fabulous. I love the thickness b/c I can slide the ingredients right onto either a pan or a serving plate. And the SIZE!!! I have no problem cutting numerous items without having to worry about the space. Go ahead and get the oil care kit. The added conditioning will ONLY help!
Wonderful addition to our gourmet kitchen. I bought it as a Christmas gift for my husband and he loves it. Sure beats watching him make sandwiches on a dish towel. Also it adds extra space to put something hot on as we have solid surface countertops. Love it, love it, love it.
I ONLY bought this for my daughter, who is the COOK and not for myself. She had asked for a large wooden cutting board since last Christmas and I wasn't able to get it for her in time. So naturally I remembered this year and I started looking earlier. I know she wanted this SIZE cutting board and a wooden one....and I GUESS SHE SHOULD KNOW about the VALUE for the PRICE....but as for me, I thought it was a bit expensive since I had to pay for it....but then again....I am NOT the cook. :) I had never paid this much for a cutting board before...but I guess since she was very happy with it, it must have been worth it. I gave my other daughter, who is beginning to cook and take lessons cooking...another large but thinner wooden cutting board from a local store.....and I think she was really impressed with her sister's! HA
I hope my daughter won't have to PICK it up too much because that board was VERY HEAVY!! I won't yet know the reviews on the product though, until she really starts to use it. But, I will answer the questions as thou it was my daughter, who by the way is only 26 and works as a cook and has been for a long time.
Thank you so much....a satisfied customer....the mother.
The first one came, but was obviously damaged at a warehouse. Jammed into a metal shelf is my guess, and not inspected before shipping.
Cooking.Com was very good about quickly sending a replacement. Kudos on that.
The replacement had a box that DHL almost completely trashed, and while I did notice a small ding in the wood, it was not as bad as the first one which arrived with a nearly pristine box (and the one I had to use for the prepaid return).
I think they need to package this better, possibly the manufacturer, with more than a shrink-wrap cover. This is a heavy block, so small wonder it gets dinged without some sturdier cardboard corners or other protective packaging.
If you have a McMansion kitchen, this would be a good one, but be prepared for the above. And it IS an inch and a half so add that to your counter top for your own ergonomics. This was a gift, so I'm not the end user.
I wanted an extra large wooden surface for preparing cut out cookies with my granddaughters. This fits the bill and Boos is, of course, the best. It is too heavy for me to move but that is taken care of for me and I also use it when chopping, etc., for the meals I prepare when family gathers for merry mayhem. We are a military family with garnered tastes from around the world and Cooking.com has been a good source for my shopping. Thanks.
Huge and heavy! This thing is massive. But worth it completely for the sturdiness and extra working space. If you want to slide your food from your board off into your hand like Rachael Ray does, consider the 2" or so, taller one. The height of this one suffices, however, and serves its purpose well.
Boo's products speak for themselfs and for good reason, its simply the best.
Cooking.com. is also the best and the reason is also simple- reasonable prices and strong customer followup.
As far as the board is concerned for me its the perfect size, two side for meat and veggies and handles to turn over and to assist in cleaning. Thats it my friend.

Spring 2012 Edition

In an interview with Fortune Magazine in April, Dee Leopold, the Dean of Admissions for Harvard Business School, outlined the qualifications of a successful applicant to HBS. In a portion of the interview in which the topic was successful feeder schools to Harvard, Leopold said, "We love Kettering University in Flint." Kettering was the only university directly named in the article other than Harvard itself.
That quote perfectly epitomizes the energy and momentum felt across campus this spring. In March, we became the first STEM University in Michigan and one of the first in the country to offer all of our students a guaranteed, fixed-rate tuition. In early April, alumnus Armen Oumedian '49 organized a overwhelmingly successful event in Grand Rapids for middle and high school students from the area interested in learning more about engineering careers. At the event students and their families were able to meet with experienced professionals working in an array of science and engineering fields, as well as to talk with current Kettering students and faculty about their experiences and speak with Kettering staff about financial aid, scholarships, and other vital resources we provide for prospective students. Finally, on April 20, 'Celebrate Kettering' events filled the day and campus giving all in attendance an opportunity to take pride in the vibrant past, present and future of this great University.
As evidenced by the many achievements and accomplishments described below, the future of this University is very bright. If you are an alumna or alumnus, please take the opportunity to visit us this year and see the physical improvements across campus, hear about our innovative teaching and research, interact with our amazing students, and (re)connect with our distinguished faculty. Wonderful things are happening at Kettering.
Have a great summer,
Bob McMahan, President
