Farewell Felix Dennis, deal-maker supreme of tech publishing
I never met him, but I was a friend of a relative of his as a teenager - and spent a few evenings being lectured by his brother on life, business the sixties and everything.
An anecdote - Bill Gates, Felix Dennis, and Alan Sugar playing trumpet, drums and whatever at '80's IT conference. "Do you know what we have here? The world's richest fucking rock band"

Cindy Crawford...
...would have made a better example, famous as she was a mole that brought asymmetry to her face. Okay, she isn't as famous now as she was when certain hormones first started to make me aware of such things a couple of decades ago.
'Beauty spots' - fake moles - were once the height of fashion in another century. Perhaps the idea was that a small imperfection highlights the attractive features.

Huawei Ascend P7: We review the PANORAMIC SELFIE smartphone
Re: As an iPhone owner
Something Huawei added.
The strangest thing for me, as a PC user coming to Android, was the concept that I didn't need to close applications. Reading up on it at the time, I was given the impression that Android OS did this for me. Fair does. Since version whatever, I can manually close apps with a swipe, but often when I return to an app after a period of time it shows signs that it has been 'hibernated' in the mean time.

>Android phones have been NFC capable for quite some time but there is very little that you can actually use them for.
I've had an NFC phone for a couple of years... I toyed with the idea of buying some 'smart tags' to go with it, to trigger different actions - i.e when the phone is placed on bedside table tag it switches to a silent profile - but I never got around to it.
If I could 'print' my own tags, I could see them being useful in some situations - stock control being the classic example - but is that a consumer application?
Stephen Fry MADNESS: 'New domain names GENERATE NEW IP NUMBERS'
@ Dan 55
Agreed. And let's not forget Stephen Fry offered to pay the fine and subsequent legal fees of Paul Chambers, the man convicted of sending a "public electronic message that was grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character contrary to the Communications Act 2003" - Mr Chambers had made a joke on Twitter about blowing up Robin Hood Airport. His conviction was later quashed.
Re: Fry Roasting
> QI portrays him as a font of all wisdom, a veritable tree of knowledge and people believe it.
It's a silly TV show, FFS... it portrays Alan Davies as an idiot, which he isn't. The presenters of most quiz shows, from University Challenge to Have I go News For You are portrayed as being more knowledgeable than the contestants - that's just how quiz shows work.
The average viewer knows that the presenter has an autocue or a cue cards.
The Reg readership are generally less critical of Stephen Fry than the Reg Team... Shit, he's been in prison, became a self-made millionaire by his early twenties, has struggled with depression and writes with wit, perception and humanity. Along the way he's indulged his fascination with gadgets, and been a close friend of Douglas Adams.
If you think he's on TV too much, easy: don't watch TV... just remember him as Lord Melchie or General Melchett. Here he is being upstaged by Lord Flashheart, in memory of Rik Mayall:

Re: well very few products are competely new designs?
>The E-cigarette?
Has it origins in vaporisers used to extract essential oils from flowers for perfume making... later adopted by marijuana smokers who wanted to minimise the chemicals they inhaled. Another influence would be the sheesha or hookah, a way of enjoying tobacco that is popular in the Middle East, where the smoke is cooled and stripped of larger particles by bubbling it through water.
The compact 'e-cigarette' depends upon energy-dense Li-ion battery technology, though one can image a butane-powered version.
Re: well very few products are competely new designs?
>The original Sony Walkman? (Yes, miniature tape recorders pre-existed, but not for playing music to consumers as they went about their lives).
Sony's head honcho at the time had to make quite a few trans-Pacific business flights, so asked his minions to modify a journalist's audio recorder for music playback.
It's an evolutionary, not a revolutionary transition, though crossing a threshold level of miniturisation can open up new use-cases (carriage clock becomes fob-watch becomes wristwatch... becomes compact cheap and accurate Casio F-91W)

Sony Xperia Z2: What we REALLY thought of this Android fondleslab
I use my kettle every day. Before I bought it, I consulted reviews to get the best balance of time-to-boil, quietness, and efficiency. My current toaster is okay, but it lacks a 'reheat' button, that is invaluable for topping-up the brownness of my toast - otherwise, I tend to pop it in for a second time and forget until I smell burning. Its a small detail, but one that can save breakfast.
Mature and boring is good - it means people look at polishing the small details. If the downside is that tech site reviews are slightly less fun to read... then I can live with that.

Erdős won the bet, but complained that during his abstinence, mathematics had been set back by a month: "Before, when I looked at a piece of blank paper my mind was filled with ideas. Now all I see is a blank piece of paper." After he won the bet, he promptly resumed his amphetamine use.

Re: @ Dave 126
>Somewhere to spill your coffee too, I suspect.
That's a very valid point.
It can be mitigated, though - the Sony Tablet S is fully waterproof. It just seems to me that making an Android tablet that can function as a secondary monitor might be away to differentiate it the market.
I wouldn't mind a horizontally-mounted touchscreen as a secondary display/control surface for a desktop or laptop PC... it would be somewhere to keep application toolbars, or perform file management. Some details would need working out (how would it handle cursor movement between screens, as with traditional dual-monitor set-ups?)
Ideally, though - this secondary display/control surface would double as a stand-alone Android tablet.
Oh? Someone has already made one, with a reputation for digitisers?
Shame about the price tag!

Re: Audio-in is dead already
>Am I the only one who sees the lack of audio-in combined with a move to digital audio-out a move towards preventing the consumer from copying audio from one device to another?
It would appear so. Here's why:
Most people use laptop mikes for Skype or dictation. The Macbook's built in mikes are fit for this purpose.
Most people who want to record high quality analogue audio use an external ADC.
These two scenarios cover the vast majority of users' needs.
Since most people's audio is in a digital format these days, it can just be copied. Software solutions can be used to sidestep any lingering DRM. Its best to avoid Digital > Analogue > Analogue > Digital workflows.
If you do have a stack of audio on, say, cassette tapes, that you wish to transcribe, a USB or FireWire ADC can be had for not much money. Certainly for far less than a decent cassette deck.
>- Combined optical digital audio output/analog line out minijack
Has been around on laptops for years. Don't panic! As has the opposite - optical digital in combined with an analogue line-in 3.5mm jack. Certainly my c1998 MiniDisc recorder had it. This is why one end of your TOSlink 'cable' is mechanically compatible with 3.5mm audio jacks.
Re: Audio-in is dead already
> In Apple style they will simply wholly remove the 3.5mm headphone jack from all iOS devices coming out this year
Will give you points for imagination. However, the wide support for iDevices by 3rd party (Philips, Sony, Sennheiser, Klipsh, B&W, i.e everybody!) headphone manufacturers is something that I, as an Android user, envies. I might think that Sansa, LG, Cowon or some Samsung offer better audio quality, but really, I just want in-line remote audio controls.
Again, Android vendors could have got together to develop a standard headset remote control protocol, but they haven't. Google never bothered taking a lead on this, either. Heck, headset remotes are even implemented differently across different Android models by the same vendor (Sony, I'm looking at you).
It really doesn't seem like a hard thing to get right.
Re: This mythical Microsoft Phone you speak of
>... it's this Linux on the desktop that I'm curious about, when's that going to hit the high streets?
If the only USP of Linux is that it can be bent to the will of the power-user, then it won't be adopted on the high street - the power-user will always just install Linux themselves.
Instead, to compete with Windows/OSX on the high-street, Linux would have to offer the average Joe something that Win/OSX doesn't... ease of use, perhaps, or a lower price, whatever.
Chrome OS is a recognition of the need to offer the average Joe something useful - maintenance-free computing. Even though my mum has been happy to use a word-processor for over thirty years, she will be confused by some pop-up notification box in Windows about updating something or other. She doesn't know what this something or other is, and why should she?
Autodesk to release 'open' 3D printer
Re: Smooth models
Current workflow:
Create CAD model
Convert CAD model into a mesh defined by thousands of triangles (*.STL)
Take STL into 'slicing' software, that has had machine-specific variables (material, print temp, bed temp, bed size etc) loaded into it:
- analyse overhangs and create support structures if need, either 'break away' or using a second extruding head
- slice the mesh and added structures into hundreds of 2D slices
- create G Code that controls the movement of the print axes, lots of factors here including print temperature and speed.
Put G-code into a software 'print simulator', to make sure the slicing software hasn't got confused.
Load G Code onto the 3D printer.
Calibrate printer
Spot an issue, fine tune some of the above variables, repeat steps as required.
Print again.
Cross fingers, go to pub for a couple of hours.
There is certainly room for improvement. There is no real reason why the intermediary STL format is required, when my instincts tell me the 2D slices or the actual G-code could be generated directly from the original 3D CAD model, with greater respect for the 'design intent'. The GCode format itself isn't perfect, either.
Really, systems are getting smarter. There is no reason a depth aware system akin to MS Kinect couldn't be used to provide real-time feed-back to the control system to compensate for any physical variation in the print process (belt tightness, ambiant temperature, variation in material composition). I'm not sure that the current Gcode system is suitable for this scenario.
AutoDesk's products, like those from their competitors, already have simulation plugins and the like... there is no technical reason one should have to leave one's familiar CAD interface in order to print the object.
Re: Autodesk newspeak strikes again.
>I suggest that the headline writer and whoever wrote this drivel have fallen victim to a well-known scam known as "the press release".
Possibly, but their is such a thing as blind cynicism, just as there is blind naivety.
You sem to be suggesting that Autodesk are hoping to buy up and close down several competing open source projects.... that can't happen.
Autodesk make their money by renting out their software by the year, across architectural, engineering and design disciplines. This software becomes more useful if it can be used to output to 3D printers. Currently 3rd party software, open source or proprietary, is required to generate Gcode or equivilent from what the CAD software outputs. I haven't found these software solutions to be mature yet.
Autodesk, will want to drive rentals of their pricey software by releasing an alternative to the current open source software (principally, SkeinForge and Slic3r). Autodesk will benefit more from this model than trying to sell 'slicing' software to users. That adoption won't happen if Autodesk's offerings are substantially closed. The whole concept won't work if people are not able to configure it to individual printers.
Autodesk's real competitors are big enough to look after themselves.
Graphics pros left hanging as Adobe Creative Cloud outage nears 24 hours
Re: A storm in a tea cup
>> "I love that I can pay £28 monthly"
>They have you well trained...
All other issues (reliability etc) aside, £28 per month makes it possible to just use the software for one job if you don't use it all the time (product designers, for example, might only have use for it at certain stages of a project); It is more manageable than an initial outlay of £hundreds.
Right up to the point that you want to manipulate EXR or other HDR files for environment lighting maps. Or use use free transform to quickly mock-up a three-quarter view packaging design. If you are chasing a deadline, these niggles are worth spending a quid a day to avoid.
You might find that the GIMP fulfills your needs 95% of the time, until you require a feature it lacks. At which point, being able to rent Photoshop by the month becomes attractive.
>But although Adobe is adept at creating industry-leading creative software...
If they had some competition, they might sort out their software for high DPI displays on Windows. There has been a fair few high DPI laptops arrive on the market in the last year, but no reviewer will recommend them until 3rd party software behaves itself.
I'm only picking on Adobe because one would have thought that people working on photographs would be the first to adopt high res displays. FFS, even niche software like Solidworks allows the user to select 'large icons' as an option.
This application [Photoshop Elements] is the worst example of usability on a High DPI system that I've seen. Adobe has even replaced the file menu with a custom UI, meaning every single element of this application doesn't scale at all.
The biggest travesty of Adobe applications not scaling is that their intended market is often media professionals, who are frequently early adopters of things like 4k displays and ultra-high resolution laptops

Re: protestant and catholic (dos and mac)
That Umberto Eco piece is excellent! An excerpt, the bold emphasis is mine:
Friends, Italians, countrymen, I ask that a Committee for Public Health be set up, whose task would be to censor (by violent means, if necessary) discussion of the following topics in the Italian press. Each censored topic is followed by an alternative in brackets which is just as futile, but rich with the potential for polemic. Whether Joyce is boring (whether reading Thomas Mann gives one erections). Whether Heidegger is responsible for the crisis of the Left (whether Ariosto provoked the revocation of the Edict of Nantes). Whether semiotics has blurred the difference between Walt Disney and Dante (whether De Agostini does the right thing in putting Vimercate and the Sahara in the same atlas). Whether Italy boycotted quantum physics (whether France plots against the subjunctive). Whether new technologies kill books and cinemas (whether zeppelins made bicycles redundant). Whether computers kill inspiration (whether fountain pens are Protestant)...
....I asked above whether fountain pens were Protestant. Insufficient consideration has been given to the new underground religious war which is modifying the modern world. It's an old idea of mine, but I find that whenever I tell people about it they immediately agree with me.
The fact is that the world is divided between users of the Macintosh computer and users of MS-DOS compatible computers. I am firmly of the opinion that the Macintosh is Catholic and that DOS is Protestant. Indeed, the Macintosh is counter-reformist and has been influenced by the ratio studiorum of the Jesuits.

Just in case there's a niggly issue.

Yeah, all things being equal. But you usually have to drop the price after a while in order to meet the competition.
There was an interesting radio discussion the other day about how competition is supposed to reward efficiencies, so that the end game is that nobody makes any profits (as people suggest when thy talk about 'commodity phone makers'). The summary was that the only way to profit is to hold a temporary monopoly.

|Something Lost Price: $22.99 Write a review | No reviews for this product.
"The year is 1976, and tumult is brewing on a university campus in Southwestern Canada. The protagonist adheres to an emerging amalgam of Postmodernist ideas and promotes her beliefs inside the four corners of the classroom. But when this ideology is used to harm people, can she justify her inaction? Or will she be able to confront herself for her role, however unintentional, in the events that occurred? Hutcheon is an adept writer who drops niggling hints that something evil is happening, but it would take thirty years before the truth is finally revealed by a relentless investigative journalist.
SOMETHING LOST also provides a historical and social glimpse of Canada at that time. As the mysterious circumstances surrounding the deaths are gradually revealed, Hutcheon draws readers into the major political issues during this revolutionary period. Marxism, radical feminism, and Postmodernism captured the hearts and minds of the intellectuals. But how would they be able to reconcile their beliefs when dogmatism demands denial of the evidence?

Many kids not getting the sleep they need
Updated On: Mar 05 2014 10:10:00 PM EST
The National Sleep Foundation recommends kids between 6 and 10 years old get at least 10 to 11 hours of sleep each night. But a new study finds a majority of kids are not getting the recommended amount, and bad bedtime routines may be to blame.
"The parents are quite aware that sleep is an issue. Sleep is important, yet their kids aren't getting enough sleep," said Dr. Jyoti Krishna, who treats pediatric sleep disorders at Cleveland Clinic.
University of Chicago researchers polled parents about their children's bedtime behaviors. They found 72 percent of parents say their children have at least one electronic device in the bedroom while they are sleeping, which can impair the amount of sleep a child gets.
"We do know that light in the eyes hampers or delays melatonin rhythms, which is an essential sleep hormone that makes us sleep at night," said Krishna.
34 percent of parents say evening activities, including homework, push back their child's bedtime. And 92 percent of parents polled say they've set up one or more sleep-related rules, but only 62 percent of parents say they enforce them.
Krishna says parents can start establishing better bedtimes by making sleep a priority.
"Things are going to be different every day and life gets in the way, but I think if you don't set priorities and bedtime being one of them, you're going to lose out on sleep in the end."
You can see all of the poll numbers on the National Sleep Foundation's website at www.sleepfoundation.org.
Although sleep needs vary from person to person, here are sleep guidelines by age from the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute:
|16 - 18 hours a day
|Preschool-aged children
|11 - 12 hours a day
|School-aged children
|At least 10 hours a day
|9 - 10 hours a day
|Adults (including the elderly)
|7 - 8 hours a day

All eyes were upon Texas Friday to watch the local teams try to advance in the NCAA Tournament.
From Offutt Air Force Base to banks, we're hearing about plenty of businesses hosting parties during this work day. If you were lucky enough to be away from work in time for the Nebraska tip-off at 11:40 a.m. from San Antonio, the bars were prepared. All DJs locations are hosting official alumni parties. At Aksarben Village, you can catch the action on the big screen, 45-feet big to be exact, at Aksarben Cinema.
"People love it," says Aksarben Cinema marketing director Andrea Barstow. "The best one, we did a UNO hockey event and it turned into mini-arenas. People hung up banners, they were doing chants, it was very fun."
The Huskers were looking for their first-ever NCAA Tournament win. "It is going to mean the world to us," said NU guard Tai Webster. "To be able to win one game here would be crazy. If we keep on winning that would be off the chain. We just need to focus on this first game and get this first win."
But it was not to be as Baylor beat Nebraska 74-60.
Aksarben Cinema opened one theater for fans to watch the Nebraska-Baylor game followed by Creighton-Louisiana-Lafayette. It won't be much different from a sports bar experience with a full bar and dinner menu at the cafe. Admission is free, but with less than 300 seats, expect the theater to fill up fast.
"We have had a great run, I feel like this is our last chance to go out with a bang," said Bluejay forward Doug McDermott. "We are going to make the most of this in a great city, San Antonio. We are looking forward to it."
At 8:50 p.m. Friday, Iowa State takes the floor, also in San Antonio, against North Carolina Central.
Knowing most everyone's mind will be far from the books, St. Wenceslaus School in Omaha decided to make this a three-day weekend. Before students took off, it was time to learn about the schools taking the court.
In Mrs. Willmot's seventh-grade class, students had to write a report on one of the colleges in the tournament. They were assigned schools at random, much to the dismay of one diehard Creighton fan who got to learn a little more about the Huskers. "I learned that Nebraska's actually a pretty good school and their basketball team isn't too bad," said Jack Abt. "They have one of their best teams this year, so it's not too bad this year, but I'm hoping for Creighton."
Mrs. Wilmot hopes the assignment broadened her students' horizons to start thinking about college and different opportunities each school has to offer.
While St. Wenceslaus canceled school Friday because of the tournament, students and staff in Bellevue got lucky. This was already a scheduled day off because of this week's parent-teacher conferences.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla.- Juan Garcesbetancourt, 35, was arrested on Wednesday after his alleged involvement in a hit and run accident in the Brittany Bay apartment complex.
According to police reports, the suspect allegedly pulled out of a parking spot at a very high speed, sideswiping a vehicle, and then sped off. The owner of the vehicle he hit was standing outside watching fireworks and witnessed the accident occur.
Officers observed the suspect leave the complex at a high rate of speed. Reports say that he blew through a stop sign before entering onto Collier Blvd. where the vehicle fishtailed out of control for approximately 200 feet.
Shortly after officers pulled the suspect over, the victim of the accident pulled up behind the stopped officer and explained that they were the victim of a hit and run and that the suspect vehicle was the offender.
Garcesbetancourt was arrested and is now facing charges of reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident involving property damage. Deputies suspect that the defendant may have been under the influence of illegal narcotics at the time of the incident.

The World Cup kicks off this Friday, and a handful of Charlottesville residents join many others in the world who are drunk with love for it.
In the United States, more kids play soccer than any other game. Once the World Cup gets underway in South Africa, many local soccer players will leave the field for a television to watch their favorite player.
Pop superstar Shakira is in South Africa to open the two weeks of action with the official World Cup song, "Waka Waka. The opening match of the tournament will be in Soweto.
But she won't be alone. Hundreds of thousands of visiting fans will add nearly $2 billion to the economy and create thousands of new jobs.
Local man Andy Wilson is packing up his bags for the trip to Johannesburg.
"It's the biggest sporting event in the world," Wilson said.
Wilson owns the Total Soccer store in Charlottesville, and sales are hopping on merchandise for the local team favorite, the United States. Merchandise for Italy, Brazil and Honduras is also hot.
It's about 8,100 miles from Charlottesville to Johannesburg. At a cost of about $1,500 just for the flight, Wilson said it's worth the trip.
For those who can't make it to Johannesburg, Charlottesville's Paramount Theater will host a watching party for the final game of the World Cup on the largest high-definition screen in Central Virginia.

Are you tired of the same old greasy wing bucket? These buffalo chicken meatballs have a hidden zest that make them irresistible.
For my family, weekends are all about hanging with great friends, usually watching some kind of sporting event while eating good food!
When I think of party food fixings, my first thought is "Dude Food" — it needs to be party friendly because let's face it, it's going to be enjoyed parked in front of the television or while standing around on the back porch, which means it should be simple and enjoyed with either your fingers, a toothpick or simply a fork.
MOMables is all about making your food lives easier and more efficient! If you need prep ahead help or simply new ideas to fill your kid's (or adult's) lunch boxes then you can join us here!
My fella's favorite football food: Buffalo Chicken Wings. The spicier the better, too. So I decided to turn his go-to game day food into a party favorite that can be kept warm in the crockpot for hours so you don't have to worry about reheating during breaks.
Simple and spicy = Mom Touchdown!
- 2 lbs. of ground chicken
- 8 oz. of blue cheese crumbles
- 2 teaspoons of garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon of Zatarain's Big & Zesty Creole Seasoning
- (or sub for red & green pepper seasonings)
- 2 cups of Buffalo Sauce
- Spray crockpot with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine ground chicken, blue cheese crumbles, garlic salt, and creole seasoning.
- Mix until evenly combined but be careful not to overwork the ground chicken.
- Begin rolling meat into approximately 1.5" diameter balls. Place in bottom of crockpot.
- Stack meatballs neatly until complete.
- Gently pour buffalo sauce evenly over meatballs until covered.
- Cook on low for 4-5 hours. Half way through, approximately 2.5 hours in, stir meatballs so they are coated and cooked evenly.

So what is Carob, exactly?
The powdered carob that many of you will be familiar with comes from the seed pods of the evergreen Mediterranean tree know as carob, St. John's-beard, or locust bean (commonly found as a thickener or 'gum' in processed foods). Once the pods of the tree have been dried and roasted, they are ground into a 'flour' (that can be used to make delicious breads and buns) which is commonly known as carob powder. Although it may resemble cocoa in colour, carob powder has a unique earthy flavour, which is mildly sweet and caramel-like, and all-together its own. And guess what? It's good for you! Carob is packed with soluble fibre which helps clean out your digestive tract of waste (hello natural detox). Beyond that, carob is low in fat, free of caffeine, and high in iron and calcium, which are pretty much always welcome.
While carob has historically gotten a bad wrap as just another hippie food, those claims often come from people who either mistook it for chocolate, or tried to use it to replace chocolate. But to be fair, that's like giving a carnivore tofu and saying it's steak. Tofu is tofu, and carob is carob.
Now that I've expounded on all the wonders of carob for carob's sake, I'll have to admit that this recipe can be made with cocoa, as well (although I still hope you give carob a chance!). For this recipe I combined the carob with peanut butter, but any nut butter would do (hazelnut would be amazing!).
Peanut Butter Fudge Slice
Recipe: (Makes 8-12)
1 Cup Almonds
1/2 Cup Pitted Dates
2 Tbsp. Ground Flax
1 Tbsp. Water, or as needed
A Pinch of Sea Salt
1/4 tsp. Vanilla
6 Tbsp. Natural Peanut Butter, or nut butter of choice (If you want your bars to be raw, be sure to choose a raw nut butter)
1 Cup Pitted Dates
2 Tbsp. Coconut Oil, melted
4 Tbsp. Coconut Oil, melted
4 Tbsp. Carob Powder (or Cacao Powder, if I didn't sway you towards carob)
1 Tbsp. Liquid Sweetener or Choice
A Pinch of Sea Salt
1. Firstly, pulse the dates, almonds, flax, salt, and vanilla until the mixture is ground. Add a splash of water if needed to help the base hold together. Press evenly into a parchment lined loaf pan. Set aside.
2. For the filling, puree the dates with the peanut butter until smooth. Add the melted oil and combine. Spread this mixture over the base, making it as smooth as possible.
3. Finally, melt the oil with the carob powder, sweetener, and salt, and pour over the filling. Set the pan in the freezer to set. Once firm, sliced the bars with a hot, dry, knife. They can be enjoyed right away or transferred to a airtight container and kept in the freezer for several weeks. If you can, let the bars soften up for a few minutes before digging in. The flavours come out so much more when room temp!

Here in my dreams I can see
The white cherry blossoms of Chaumont
Where I walked with Anna Marie

C'est vous, c'est vous. m'aimez beaucoup.
I miss you Anna Marie
My love was pledged to another
But I knew as I crossed the sea
That I'd never love any other
As I love my Anna Marie
Anna Marie, Anna Marie. my heart remembers and sighs
C'est vous, c'est vous, m'aimez beaucoup.

Some surveys suggest that as many as two-thirds of American households have donated money to charitable organizations in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11. Although it may be difficult to precisely tally the amount of money raised, 34 of the larger charities have reported raising an estimated $2.4 billion since September 11. Of the estimated $2.4 billion reported collected by the larger charities, about two-thirds were reported to have been distributed. Fund distribution rates vary widely among these charities, in part because of differences in their operating mission. Charities reported distributing these funds for a broad range of assistance to the families of those killed or injured, for those more indirectly affected through the loss of their jobs or homes, and for disaster relief workers. To distribute aid, charities had to make extensive efforts to identify victims and survivors as there were no uniform contact lists for families of victims; charity officials also said privacy issues affected the sharing of information among charities. Charities also faced challenges in providing aid to non-English speaking people in need of assistance; some charities have focused their efforts on these individuals. To minimize fraud by individuals, most charities required applicants to provide documentation certifying their needs and the relationship of their need to the disaster. Coordination of efforts among charities was constrained by several factors, including charities' need to maintain the confidentiality of their clients, the lack of uniform victims lists, and the huge scale and complex nature of the event and its aftermath. Charities, government agencies, watchdog groups, and survivors' organizations reported to GAO lessons learned about how to improve the charitable aid process in future disasters. First, good information about and easy access to available assistance could help survivors in the recovery process. Next, public and private agencies could better assist survivors by coordinating and sharing information with each other. Further, public education could clarify charities' role in disasters and help maintain the public's confidence in charities. Finally, planning for the role of charitable aid in disasters could aid the recovery process for individuals and communities.

N.Y. Times:
The United States has decided to restore full diplomatic relations with Libya and remove it from the list of countries designated as state sponsors of terrorism, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice announced this morning.
Ms. Rice called the moves "tangible results that flow from the historic decisions taken by Libya's leadership in 2003 to renounce terrorism and to abandon its weapons of mass destruction programs."
She also used the occasion to hold out hope for improvement in the current standoffs between the Bush administration and Iran and North Korea, which have been accused of seeking to develop nuclear weapons.

Rotterdam Tourist Attractions
The port town of Rotterdam, the second largest city in the Netherlands, lies on both banks of the Nieuwe Maas, the southern arm of the Rhine, here joined by the little river Rotte.
At this point, and for a good distance upstream, the Maas is still tidal, with a variation in water level between high and low tide of between 1.2 and 2.5m (4 and 8ft).Since the opening of the Europoort in 1966 Rotterdam has been the largest port in the world in the volume of goods handled, and in consequence has developed into a gigantic commercial and industrial center whose full growth potential is still very far from being realized. The major imports are oil, mineral ores, grain, timber and fats, the main exports coal and foodstuffs; and Rotterdam is also an important transshipment point for raw tobacco. The city's principal industries are shipbuilding (with the largest shipyard in Europe), engineering, the manufacture of railroad rolling stock, electrical engineering, petrochemicals (with the largest plant in Europe), semi-luxury foods and tobacco, clothing manufacture and papermaking. Rotterdam owes its rapid development to its fortunate situation on a navigable waterway with access to the North Sea throughout the year without the intervention of any locks. Its seaport can handle ships of up to 90,000 tons with a draught of up to 12m (39ft), and in addition it has the largest inland port in Europe.Central Rotterdam was almost completely destroyed by German air attacks in 1940. The energetic rebuilding of the city after the war, re-planned with modern shopping streets and residential districts and with numerous high-rise blocks, has made Rotterdam one of the most modern cities in Europe. Around the city center are the districts of Kralingen to the east, Delfshaven to the west and Feijenoord to the south, with an outer ring of suburbs (Overschie, Hillegersberg, IJsselmonde and Pernis) beyond this. Hoek van Holland (Hook of Holland) also lies within the city area; Schiedam, Vlaardingen and Maassluis are independent towns, though closely adjoining Rotterdam on the west. Together with its surrounding satellite towns Rotterdam now forms a highly industrialized conurbation with well over a million inhabitants.Rotterdam developed out of a settlement founded in early medieval times. A first period of prosperity began in the 13th century, when a dam was built to separate the little river Rotte from the Nieuwe Maas: hence the name Rotterdam. The town received its municipal charter in 1340. Soon afterwards a canal to the Schie linked it with the then important commercial town of Delft, from the prosperity of which it soon began to benefit. This first period of prosperity saw the birth of Rotterdam's most celebrated citizen, the famous humanist Erasmus (born ca. 1467, d. 1536 in Basle). In 1563 most of the town was destroyed by fire. A new phase of development began, however, in 1585, when many thousands of refugees from the Spanish Netherlands settled in Rotterdam. The manufacture of cloth and carpets in particular brought a further period of prosperity. The port was less important in the 17th century, with only about a fifth of the turnover of the rival town of Amsterdam. The rapid growth of the port began after the split with Belgium, when the Dutch dammed the Schelde (1830-39). The obstacle to the passage of large vessels by the steady silting up of the Maas estuary was removed in 1866 by the construction and constant deepening of the Nieuwe Waterweg, and at the point where it reached the North Sea the new suburb of Hoek van Holland (Hook of Holland) came into being.
Central Area
Southern Districts
Mariniersmuseum & Noordereiland
The southern districts of Rotterdam on the left bank of the Maas can be reached either by way of the busy Willemsbrug, parallel to which is a railroad bridge, or through the Maas Tunnel. The Willemsbrug leads to the Noordereiland, a long island in the middle of the river. Here, at Maaskade 119, is the Mariniersmuseum, which illustrates the history of the Corps of Marines from its establishment in 1665 to the present day.
On the far side of the Noordereiland is the Koningshaven (1km/.75mile long), with the oldest port installations on the left bank of the Maas (1873), which is spanned by road and rail bridges. To the south of this is the Feijenoord district, with the Binnenhaven, the Spoorweghaven, the large Maashaven (58 hectares/143 acres), built on the site of the old village of Katendrecht, and the small Charlois (pronounced Sharlóis) Docks.
To the west of the Charlois Docks stretches the large Waalhaven (310 hectares/766 acres), one of the largest dock complexes in the world. West of the Waalhaven is the suburb of Pernis, at the junction of the Oude and the Nieuwe Maas, where the Nieuwe Waterweg (Het Scheur) begins. From here the vast Europoort complex extends westward between the Nieuwe Waterweg and the Brielse Maas (Brielse Meer) to reach the North Sea at Hoek van Holland.

P/E too high for airline.
Going short on the entire airline sector. Earnings forecasts are very optimistic in my view. They are economically sensitive, and I predict the US economy is going to soften near-term.
As long as Jeff Smisek is CEO United will be out maneuvered by the competition and the stock will reflect that.
The pre-merger Continental management team led by CEO Jeff Smisek will continue to shrink the airline in quality of product, market share and earnings behind Delta and, ultimately, the new American, unless the board acts to replace them. Internal IT problems, labor issues and a second tier airline mindset still beset United Continental Holdings three years after their merger was completed.
New planes. Customer service campaign. Purchase of stock by CEO and US has not attacked Syria, so the oil prices will stabilize as well.
More mergers = less competition
less competition = higher fares
higher fares = larger earnings
larger earnings = higher share price
just one spike in oil prices, and this one will go down.
This is the classic airline stock right now. Heavy CapEx, low profitability, labor union problems that can only be solved by throwing lots of money at workers, etc. I think UAL will continue to disappoint for the next few quarters.
Once integration issues are addressed, merger synergies would start kicking in.
Of the legacy carriers, it has a comparably healthy financial situation. If you've looked at the pain scheme or the company board, it's obvious that the merger was a case of Continental taking over United instead of the other way around, which is a good thing considering how great Continental was.
not posted
This is the strongest of the airlines right now. They should be consolidating their merger, and besides Southwest I wouldn't put money on any other airline.
The airline stocks appear to be at risk of losing in both a good and bad market.
If the market continues to decline, financial fears may lower the number of passenger on their flights.
If the market has a year end rally, commodity prices including oil will likely increase, which will result in higher operating costs.
they have a lot of cash to withstand downterm and will take advantage of poor competition who are lacking the cash reserve
UAL has focused management and Smiksek is focused on profit..At any expense..Thats good for the investor!
Good grwoth projection. Solid cash flow . Undervalued
the unrest in lybia and the oil prices soaring are only a temporary problem. when it comes to the long run. UAL and all the airline stockholders will be above the SPY because the are a needed part of our society.
What this article clearly misses is the fact that UAL is in the early stages of a merger. Loses are expected and reporting on a pro forma basis is a great way to show the potential that the combined carrier offers investors. The report of burning cash flow was firectly related to a large debt payments that was made not beucase it was due but beucase they were in a financial position that allowed them to. The leadership, the route network, the size, the product is all promising and that is why they will outperform.
Fairly solid declining-tops downtrend in place going back three weeks. Past that - good lord, look at the performance of this industry over the past year or so. Which is to say very good in an industry that is historically brutal. I mean, like, Robert Mugabe level of brutality here. I think the only smart thing Jim Cramer ever said was to never invest in airlines. And, naturally, he probably said it a year or so ago.
