Two conservative brothers could be the future owners of eight large newspaper branches owned by the media giant, The Tribune Company.
Billionaire libertarians Charles and David Koch are exploring a bid that would buy the LA Times, The Chicago Tribune, The Baltimore Sun and more.
It's part of a three-pronged, 10-year effort to shift the country back to smaller government with fewer regulations.
"As an entrepreneurial company with 60,000 employees around the world, we are constantly exploring profitable opportunities in many industries and sectors," Melissa Cohlmia, a spokeswoman for Koch Companies, said. "So, it is natural that our name would come up in connection with this rumor."
"We respect the independence of the journalistic institutions referenced in the news stories," Cohlmia continued. "But it is our longstanding policy not to comment on deals or rumors of deals we may or may not be exploring."
The papers are valued at roughly over $600 million. It would be among the largest sales of newspapers in the country.

A person might not turn into an expert contortionist playing video games, but the Xbox 360 Kinect 2011 ad campaign purports that this will introduce more activity into gamers lives in a fun and clever way. The ad shows people contorted to look like game controllers.
Conceived and executed by Colombia-based McCann Erickson company, the Xbox 360 Kinect 2011 ad campaign is basic, yet effective. Photographed by Daniel Martínez and Nicolas Fernández, the ads feature the contortionists on a blank white backdrop. This brings focus on the activity these models are engaging in.
By being dressed up in streetwear, the contortions in the ad campaign are set out to target the younger generation. The campaign presents a different twist to gaming.

The crowded Spring release window is starting to get some breathing room as more delays are being announced. Today, EA announced that Insomniac's upcoming four-player cooperative shooter Fuse has been delayed to "Q1 of fiscal 2014", putting its release date sometime between April and June of this year.
The delay moves the release date at least a month past its original expected launch in March. Hopefully this will give Insomniac some time to polish and provide the best game possible. Now if only they would fix that box art.

text: My whole life I have been an overeater, binger, and a food addict. I have lost a good deal of weight, but haven't made any progress in a year or so. I just recently started back up, but now I fear I am under eating. Thanks to someone on here, I started watching the show Supersize vs. Superskinny on youtube. It is very eye opening! I can totally relate to the supersize participants, but I now even find myself relating to the superskinny participant's eating habits as well. I cannot find a healthy balance. I am either over eating or under eating. I do not have a healthy relationship with food at all. I feel like if I eat the proper amount of food that weight will not come off at all or as fast as I'd like. I do not know what to do to reach a healthy relationship with food :( Does anyone else have or have had similar issues?

All the value and performance of the S2 Olympus, with turbobrush and parquet floor brush.
FREE FEDEX OVERNIGHT Shipping on This Miele Vacuum!
The Miele Capri is recommended for low pile carpeting, area rugs, and hard floor surfaces. Its floor tools and accessories make it particularly versatile, and it's loaded with the standard components that make Miele's S2 series vacuums efficient and user-friendly.
The Miele Capri is equipped with the STB 205-3 Turbobrush to give your low-to-medium pile carpeting a thorough cleaning. Additionally included is a parquet floor brush for your hardwood or tile. A Vario clip firmly attached to the suction hose holds a dusting brush, upholstery nozzle and crevice tool for detail cleaning. The Miele Capri has the large 4.76 quart self-closing dust bag, and comes standard with the Super Air Clean filter. The Active HEPA filter can also be used. The canister weighs only 10 pounds, and has a 29.5-foot operating radius, due in part to the 18-foot cord, kept inside the canister via the automatic cable rewind system.
The Miele Capri comes equipped with the extra long handle for optimum wrist comfort and superior air flow. Its three smooth-running 360° caster wheels respond to the natural pull of the suction hose, following you around the house with minimal effort. And when you need a break, the stainless steel wand and floor tool hang firmly on the Miele Capri's rear parking dock.
The rotary dial on the Miele Capri lets you choose from six different suction settings, all powered by Miele's 1200-watt Vortex Motor System. The safety shut-off feature stops the motor from overheating if airflow is ever restricted.

Accounting Job Market is Picking Up
Many graduates are reporting multiple job offers and ease of finding jobs in this troubling economy. "Everyone has to be more concerned about [their company's] bottom line, and they need the people who understand that," said Tammy DeMell, corporate communications manager for Headhunter.net.
Headhunter.net, an on-line job search service, has seen a 27 percent increase [1] in nationwide job postings for accounting jobs in the past three months. That number increases exponentially in big cities. In the past three months, Headhunter.net shows the following increases in accounting job postings:
Boston - 272%
New York - 177%
Washington D.C. - 143%
Chicago - 134%
Los Angeles - 134%
San Francisco - 131%
Meanwhile, attendance is dropping in college accounting programs across the country. Analysts attribute the trend to a greater perception that accounting work is boring, the feeling that graduates can make more money in other fields, and the added deterrent of the recent adoption of a 150-hour rule by many states.
As a result of the lowered attendance and the weakened economy, accounting graduates are finding that job opportunities abound. Bill Eremia, staffing manager for Accountemps, a division of Robert Half International, Inc., explained [2] the phenomenon this way: "The expanding rule of accounting and finance professionals has opened up new career options. Their role has become more strategic and consultative. They are no longer crunching numbers in the back office. Now they not only collect and process information, but also analyze and interpret it and convey what they have found to key decision-makers from the company CFO to the board of directors."

Thanks for sharing that Nana. I don't think those would have worked on me either. See what I mean? Either the subject line is great, or the message never gets opened.

BLOB Caching
If NCache is already installed before the installation of StorageEdge, you can use any of the default cache provided by NCache for caching. But in the absence of NCache you will not be able to use caching with SharePoint and certain features will be disabled. To enable caching with SharePoint you need to install NCache and reset IIS on all servers of a farm.
The default cache provided by NCache is partitioned-replica, distributed among your all Server nodes where SharePoint is installed. This is recommended cache configuration if you are going to deploy SharePoint in a Server Farm with up to four nodes.

WATCH: You'll Soon Be Able to Buy Kate Bosworth's Coachella Clothes
It's pretty safe to say that Kate Bosworth and Topshop are in a committed relationship. Since the British brand first tapped the actress for its holiday 2012 campaign, the two have expanded from mere photoshoots to making clothes together; the first collection created by the star, inspired by summer music festival style, is set to hit stores soon.
Although you can't shop the 16-item selection quite yet, you can start drafting your shopping list before it goes on sale. The star gave us a sneak peek by wearing several outfits from her forthcoming line to some concerts last month, and the rest of the range is shown in a video (embedded below) just released this morning. Setting every works-with-a-flower-crown look against the glowy West Coast sky, the short stars Bosworth, directed by her fiancé Michael Polish, and was shot at California's Lake Mono on the couple's way to Coachella. According to the Telegraph, once the clip goes live on Topshop.com, everything—including the soundtrack—with be fully interactive or, as they put it: "shippable, clickable and shareable." And let's not forget shoppable...that's the most important part of all!

text: The Fort Dodge Community School Board is moving forward with plans to replace roofs on two school buildings. The board approved resolutions to approve cost estimates and specifications for the projects at Fort Dodge Senior High and Duncombe Elementary. Travis Filloon, district Director of Buildings and Grounds, says bids on both projects will open on March 6 and awarded on March 10. Construction at both buildings would start on June 9 and be completed by the start of the next school year. The Duncombe Elementary project is estimated at $143,500 while a new roof at FDSH is estimated at $342,500.

Mesa's Transportation Advisory Board on Tuesday will consider slowing traffic in the city with driver feedback signs in some locations and in other places by using flashing lights. The driver feedback signs feature electronic displays of driver speeds, which are intended to remind speeding drivers to slow down.
Mesa is looking to install signs that show drivers' speeds in the hopes of slowing traffic on roads where neighbors oppose speed cushions.
Also to slow traffic, the city is considering flashing lights in school zones where speed limits drop during school hours.
The driver feedback signs use radar and a large LED display to show how fast drivers are going, and they have become popular in other Valley cities recently. Mesa has a pair of those signs at Rhodes Junior High School, but Mesa wants to test them more extensively to see if they slow traffic on collector streets where residents complain about speed but don't want speed cushions. The solar-powered signs cost about $6,600, slightly less than a speed cushion.
"We're trying to have something else to offer where they've got a perceived speeding problem yet the speed cushions aren't the way to go on that particular street," said Derrick Bailey, a senior transportation engineer for Mesa.
The feedback signs have reduced speeds by several miles per hour in most other communities that have used them, according to a Mesa survey. The city does want to study speeds after the signs have been in for some time to see if drivers ignore them, as was the case on a four-lane road in Phoenix. A study showed speeds dropped initially, but the city removed them after noticing speeds returned to their previous levels.
The signs are being considered at Hermosa Vista Drive between 64th Street and Power Road, McLellan Road between Val Vista Drive and 40th Street, McLellan Road between 40th Street and Ogden, and Redmont Drive between Recker Road and Raftriver Street.
Mesa's Transportation Advisory Board gave support to the idea Tuesday.
Also, the city is considering a project to add flashing lights at places where the speed limit is reduced during school hours. Five schools now have these lights attached to speed limit signs, and studies have shown drivers have slowed 3 to 5 mph once the flashers were put in. The proposed additional lights would go at the remaining eight schools in Mesa that have reduced speed limits during the school day. Those locations are:
- Fremont Junior High School
- Smith Junior High School
- Highland Junior High School
- Mountain View High School
- Dobson High School
- Mesa High School
- Desert Ridge High School
- Skyline High School

COLOMBIA/GV - Colombia presidential race tight days before poll

BOGOTA, May 21 (Reuters) - Colombia's two front-running presidential
candidates remained deadlocked less than ten days before the election, two
opinion polls showed on Friday.
Juan Manuel Santos, a former defense minister under current President
Alvaro Uribe, would tie with Antanas Mockus, a former Bogota mayor, in a
first ballot on May 30, a Datexco poll said.
With neither candidate securing more than 50 percent for an outright win,
they would face a run-off in June when they still would be tied, said the
poll, published in local media.
Whoever wins the presidential race in the Andean nation will try to
further cement security gains under Uribe that have brought large inflows
of foreign investment and seen a boom in the commodity sector.
A poll by the Centro Nacional de Consultoria (CNC) found 39 percent would
vote for Santos in the first round and 34 percent for Mockus. But Santos
would be virtually tied in the second round with 47 percent against 46
percent for Mockus.
The CNC poll has a margin of error of 1.8 percentage points and used 3,000
telephone interviews.
Datexco -- whose data is based on personal interviews with 1,200 people
and had a margin of error of 2.89 percentage points -- found that 52
percent of those surveyed said unemployment was the most important
election issue for Colombians, followed by healthcare and education.
Analysts say Mockus will likely get a boost in a June rematch with Santos
from Colombians who voted for other candidates, but Santos has a solid
party machine that could give him the edge in the run-off.
The two new polls generally reflect other surveys that show a tightening
Both top candidates have promised continuity with Uribe's tough line
against a waning Marxist insurgency and his investor-friendly government,
but have vowed to increase tax revenues to tackle the deficit and boost
"This electoral uncertainty does not entail meaningful downside risk for
the performance of Colombian assets as none of the candidates represent a
meaningful departure (from Uribe's policies)," Barclays said in a research
The next leader will inherit a better security and investment climate, but
also a spat with Venezuela that has hit the $7 billion-a-year trade and a
deficit as the nation tries to boost growth after a global economic

Sarries share Tigers tie
Hodgson and Flood exchange nine points in Wembley draw
Related links

Saracens fly-half Charlie Hodgson went from hero to villain as the battle of the England number 10s past and present ended in stalemate at Wembley.
After replacing the woefully off-colour Owen Farrell early in the second half Hodgson's kicking - both from the tee and in open play - handed Saracens a share of the spoils as the Premiership contest with Leicester ended 9-9.
However, after kicking two penalties in quick succession to level proceedings, the 31-year-old was off target with a last-gasp drop goal in front of the posts.
Another England fly-half, Toby Flood, kicked the three penalties that had seemingly put Leicester on course for victory but the Tigers pivot was also off-target with a drop-goal attempt with the last kick of the game as the points were shared.
The place-kicking battle started early, with Flood successful with two penalties inside the first six minutes.
Sarries barely got out of their own half early on but slowly came into the match and could have reduced the deficit on 10 minutes.
But in a sign of what was to follow in a dismal first half for Farrell, making his first start of the season, the 20-year-old dragged his effort wide - the first of four misses from five attempts.
Leicester skipper Geordan Murphy was forced off through injury after 14 minutes, replaced by Matt Smith, before Farrell failed to take advantage with his next penalty attempt - dragging his effort off target from 40 metres.
The Tigers slowly took a grip on the game and enjoyed an impressive spell of possession, Vereniki Goneva and Scott Hamilton nearly linking up to produce the first try but for the timely intervention of Alex Goode on the left wing.
Despite sustained pressure they had to settle for a penalty, Flood extending the lead to nine with his third success on the half-hour mark.
Farrell finally got himself off the mark with his fourth penalty attempt on 34 minutes but he was wayward again with the last kick of the first half to leave the margin at 9-3.
Sarries kept the faith with their misfiring fly-half in the early stages of the second half but Hodgson joined the fray in the 51st minute and seconds later succeeded where Farrell had failed.
The former Sale number 10 - who retired from international duty in the summer - kicked Sarries to victory against his old club last week and he found his range immediately after Tigers were penalised for coming in at the side.
The scores were level before the hour mark when Hodgson made it two from two. Julian Salvi did not roll away quickly enough and the 31-year-old duly slotted the penalty to set up a grandstand finish.
Leicester had the next chance to restore their lead on 68 minutes but Flood pulled his kickable penalty attempt wide for his first miss of the day at a most inopportune moment.
Sarries wasted a chance on the counter-attack after some quick thinking by Goode, Richard Wigglesworth knocking on with a gap looking to have opened up.
A Saracens turnover and a kick ahead from Hodgson forced Leicester to concede a line-out within metres of their line heading into the last five minutes.
Safe line-out ball allowed Sarries to set-up the replacement fly-half with a drop-goal attempt in front of the posts but Hodgson sliced it wide.
Leicester got themselves down the other end of the field to give Flood his chance to be the hero but his effort was just wide as the points were shared.

January 19
Yesterday the miles and points community collectively threw virtual tomatoes at the Starwood Preferred Guest cash and points award chart changes. Some believe they are bad, but potentially not terrible due to alleged increased availability of cash and points redemptions from hotels. And some think they are bad enough to warrant leaving the SPG program, cancelling SPG co-branded credit cards, and emptying out all SPG points immediately and permanently. I do not like seeing awards get more expensive, but while this change makes cash and points redemptions about 20-25% less valuable (factoring in the increases in both points and cash components), I think some miles and points junkies are missing one of the main points of cash and points redemptions in general.
One of the big benefits of cash and points redemptions for the average points collector is that it stretches out how far your SPG points can go. Some lucky travelers/heavy SPG credit card users have hundreds of thousands of SPG points and they can pay for lengthy trips either at the standard award rate, or via cash and points. However, most of us have substantially fewer points, and don't always have the luxury to pick and choose between all the various reward options. For those of us with less impressive SPG point balances, cash and points reservations not only give us a good value for our points, but they also allow us to stretch our points much further over a greater number of nights.
While I have still find some cash and point options at certain properties, I have found decreased availability over the last 12 months in general. I am clearly a very small sample size, but I have heard similar reports from others. So, if many of us were unable to make cash and points reservations when/where we wanted, then it didn't matter how good of a deal they were – we couldn't regularly use them.
According to SPG Insider, "Our intent with these changes is simply to make more Cash & Points rooms available. We've worked very closely with our hotels, and between the pricing changes and additional options (room types and hotel categories), our goal is more Cash & Points availability for you. We'll look forward to your feedback again after the changes are live."
I may be naive, but given the relatively low availability of cash and point in recent months, and the reality that the rates had not changed since they were introduced, I believe this may be true. The hotels must not have believed their return from the SPG program was worth renting out a room at the cash and points rate in most cases. Of course this is a crummy change if you were still having luck getting the cash points reservations you wanted, but if you weren't getting them anyway then this change isn't life altering. I would say the change is no worse than neutral if availability actually increases, but of course we won't know that until after March 5th. I'm also quite curious to see how the cash and points suite redemptions play out.
I am going to see if there is any cash and points availability for destinations I am interested in before the March 5th change-over, but if not then I will see what happens after that date before making a final judgement.
21 Responses to "Why SPG Cash and Points Are Still Worth It"
You and I are on the same page! I just posted my analysis of how much better availability will need to be in order to "break even": http://www.foodwineandmiles.com/2013/01/let-me-show-you-why-starwoods.html
Let's hope we see a big enough increase!
I've had zero use for my SPG points because like all normal people, I travel during times when most other people travel, because I have to actually work for a living. Good luck finding a suitable cash+points deal in those times. So I can get the theoretical 2.5-3 cent redemption value.
The only ones whining are the "professional travelers" who have the luxury of going on a trip with 1 weeks notice, in first class, and find whatever cash+points award they want in low season. They shouldn't be blogging on here anyway, imho, because they in no way represent the general public in how many points they accrue and how they can redeem them.-
Rick, yeah the realities of someone who can pick up with 48 hours notice and jump on great redemptions is not the life most people lead, so real availability is important.
Initially I was very annoyed by the increase, and I will admit that it quite negative whenever a devaluation occurs.
However, the devaluation is not as bad as first predicted by myself and other commentators. Two essential facts lessen the devaluation:
1. We earn 3-6x (depending on status) per $ spent at Starwood.
2. Inflation increases prices of hotel stays and other items (if using SPG AMEX).
As a result, we should expect "devaluation" over the years on any program that is $ based. If they don't "devalue" the redemptions, they will lose even more money.
I still hate it, but it is likely a necessary evil in any program that is dollar-based. -
@ rick b. Very well said. I second your opinion 100%. I find their blogs very useful but at the same time I am leagues away from how I (can) spend my points and miles with family during peak school/college vacation times and in general high season. Since I am (almost) never alone so finding a business class well ahead of time is like hitting a jackpot
caveman — I would even go to say a lot of those trip reports are very misleading, since they lead new readers to believe that you can just mint points by the millions every year, and use them to fly somewhere for 2 days on a whim, just to "try a new product" as they like to put it. That's a pipe dream for those who don't get paid to fly around for business or as "travel consultants".
Well today we are heading on a trip (on points) planned months ago, so hopefully you get a good dose of all kinds of travel as you make your way around the blogosphere.
Great Post, increased availability does have value.
I'm excited to see what kind of availability there will be for upgraded rooms and suites on C&P.
I find these new C&P rates doable, and as someone who's lost their SPG Plat status, I would be more apt to make a reservation if I could confirm a better room, or in some cases, a room for 3 adults.
@mommypoints "I may be naive"
Probably. Time will tell, but that justification about increased availability from SPG just sounds like marketing rhetoric to me.
Devaluation is real. I generally tend not to give the benefit of the doubt to the corporations. Time will tell if increased availability of C&P will go far enough to soften the pain of the devaluation. Of course SPG points are still valuable but…just not as much:-)
I agree with Jack. I don't think this is a net positive, and I'm a little surprised to see that SPG's positive spin is being successfully received.
Bluto, I just think we don't know yet if it will really be bad or will be more or less neutral w availability increase.
Take this scenario which I find quite common, it may not be typical but I could list a few properties. There are plenty of these in Europe.
Cat 3 property for lowest standard rate of $190. Old scenario cash and points was $45 + 2800 points. That means ignoring taxes your points are worth 5.2 cents per point. New scenario is $55 + 3500, your points are worth 3.8 cents per point. That's much more than a 25% decrease in value & closer to 40%.
Devaluation is ALWAYS bad!
I tend to react like Rich A.
thanks for the post MP, this is a great analysis of the recent devaluation of C+P
In many cases, it doesn't matter how much more available it gets, because it won't be the best option. What Food Wine and Miles is missing in his math is that many times cash will now become a better option
Take Category 4 – the best "value" for C&P. If he values points at 2.5 cpp, then he's essentially "paying" $200 per night for a category 4 room. Factor in not getting Starpoints, and a category 4 room would probably have to cost more than $225-$250 a night for C&P to be worth it depending on promo
If it costs less than $225 a night (and most cat 4's do), it doesn't matter if it is 10% available, or 100% available
And if a category 4 costs more than $250 a night, odds are it's uber-high season and C&P won't be available before or after the devaluation
That's just an example with the best value for C&P. It's even worse for other categories
My personal experience says cash+points are more widely available now. That makes it easier for those like myself who may take years to earn enough points for a free night, to redeem our points. The Starpoints value for (generic) you may be decreased by the change, but for *me* it has gone up because now I *can* use them more easily.
I recently moved from Seattle to Atlanta, and I searched the entire route I drove for cash+points availability. Not one, and I didn't have enough for a straight up free night even at Cat 1 properties. Tonight I checked and came up with three cash+points, one of them in a city where I paid cash for a night. Given the opportunity I would have paid the 1600+$30+taxes I see to stay at the Sheraton Denver Tech Center, instead of what I did pay staying somewhere else.
[…] bloggers such as ThePointsGuy and MommyPoints state that the change is not too bad. I disagree, the change to the program devalues the SPG cash […]
[…] The best summaries I read were from View From the Wing, Loyalty Traveler and Mommy Points. […]

My husband turned on the TV, heard a pop, then the lights and TV went out. After some investigation, we found that on three outlets, the top receptacle works but the bottom receptacle is out. No breakers tripped. What happened and is this dangerous. |

Are these all in the same room? Is there a chance that one side of the receptacle was on a swtich (is there a wall switch somewhere in the room that appears to control nothing now?). It's especially possible if someone improperly put a dimmer in the place of a switch that controls a receptacle. You plug something in that the dimmer can't handle and pop! The only other thing I can think of is you have split receptacles on multiwire circuit. This is common in Canadian kitchen circuits but pretty much unheard of elsewhere though. |
Are you certain that no breakers tripped? When they trip, the handle may still appear to be in the "on" position. It does not move to the "off" position when it trips. Check them all again and see if any wiggle around. If so, move the handle to "off" then back on. Oh yeah, unplug everything on that circuit first. Something is wrong, probably with the TV if the problem appeared the moment the TV was turned on. |
Thanks for the feedback! Yes, these are all in the same room. I believe one receptacle is on a wall switch which we always have on, but is not a dimmer. And we don't live in Canada, but our house is over 30 years old. My husband checked the breakers and they seemed ok. I plugged the TV into the working receptacle and it worked fine. Maybe a mouse ate into the wiring? There is something dead in our walls, I can smell it. I was just worried about an electrical fire. |
well, the smell may be the beginnings OF an electrical fire, so if the smell appeared at the same time as the problem, I'd recommend turning off the power and calling an electrician to come check it out pronto. |

Talk:A Windows Phone 8 Run Tracking App in 100 Lines of Code!
Yan -
In Background Location Tracking section, you write
With Windows Phone 7 you could run applications under the lock screen, which is a pretty important feature for a sports tracking application.
But i thinks you want explain
With Windows Phone 7 you can not run GPS tracking in background, which is a pretty important feature for a sports tracking application.
When you use map control, you must use an Mapid provided with your dashboard, isn't it?yan_ 22:48, 7 December 2012 (EET)
Hamishwillee - Review/feedback
I've given this a very superficial scan, but figure its worth giving you the feedback as there aren't many days left.
Firstly, I use run tracking apps, so I like the concept and I think it is well explained. A few suggestions:
- Rename article and description to "run tracker app" or similar, rather than running app. Reason being that "This article explains how to create a running app using Windows Phone 8" could be interpreted as "how to create an active app... "
- The article covers lots of interesting features - polylines, headings, pedestrian maps, running in the background etc etc. However the introduction only talks about your motivations to write. People care much more about what they can learn so I strongly suggest you put an overview of these features first and foremost in the introduction - explain what your app does in only one hundred lines!
- A picture tells a thousand words. I would include one or two screenshots up in the introduction below the text. I would also move the UI image in "The Application User Interface" to the top, and then show the XAML which produces it.
That is all cosmetic stuff, but I believe will make the value of this article immediately more obvious to readers.
Thank you

@Hamish - thanks for this feedback, some good points there. I have expanded a few parts of the article and incorporated your feedback.Colin E. 13:59, 12 December 2012 (EET)

No ... my text is correct. WP7 applications can run under the lock screen. See the documentation for ApplicationIdleDetectionMode:

Great App!
I'm unable to find the NExtra.Geo namespace in VS 2012 when I'm trying to add this code in my app.
What to do? I want to integrate this feature in my app! Please help!

Madhu72kumar - error when button is paused and played again
App is working great but displaying error when paused and played again.Before the distance values changes from 0 to any number, If we pause the app, then it shows"Overflow Exception was handled by user code - Make sure you are not dividing by zero." I was in middle of my app which i have taken reference of this sample app. You would have updated this app with Isolated Storage.
madhu72kumar (talk) 13:48, 20 July 2013 (EEST)
Madhu72kumar - @ Sugamand
Hi Sugamand,
If you want to add this feature to your app, you need to add class files from Geo folder to your application. you can find NExtra.Geo namespace in this class files. I hope your problem will be solved.
Madhu Kumar.madhu72kumar (talk) 13:44, 20 July 2013 (EEST)
This is a great example of the power of the Windows Phone and Maps APIs, and is an inspiration in my current project. I've noticed, however, that the .Net Extra library doesn't seem to be available. So to calculate the heading, I'm using this method:
private double CalculateBearing(GeoCoordinate start, GeoCoordinate end)
{ Angle lat1 = Angle.FromDegrees(start.Latitude); Angle lat2 = Angle.FromDegrees(end.Latitude); Angle dLon = Angle.FromDegrees(end.Longitude) - Angle.FromDegrees(end.Longitude);
var y = Math.Sin(dLon.Radians) * Math.Cos(lat2.Radians); var x = Math.Cos(lat1.Radians) * Math.Sin(lat2.Radians) - Math.Sin(lat1.Radians) * Math.Cos(lat2.Radians) * Math.Cos(dLon.Radians); Angle brng = Angle.FromRadians(Math.Atan2(y, x));
return (brng.Degrees + 360) % 360; }The Angle class is from the very excellent Units for .Net library. Of course, this adds a few lines of code, but what can you do?
marknotgeorge (talk) 19:11, 8 February 2014 (EET)
Marknotgeorge - Doh...
I spotted a bug.
The 3rd line should of course be:
Angle dLon = Angle.FromDegrees(end.Longitude) - Angle.FromDegrees(start.Longitude);marknotgeorge (talk) 17:14, 9 February 2014 (EET)

I can't confirm this with 100% certainty, but I think birds are stealing my lettuce and spinach. Little brown birds. Last year around this same time of year, huge chunks of my leafy greens would be missing, and the leaves would have jagged edges. At first I thought this must be a caterpillar or something... but I never found any evidence of them. However, I HAVE actually seen these little brown birds take pieces of my plants away. I've never actually seen them do it on the lettuce or spinach, but last year I saw them do this on my broccoli plant, and rip a piece off of the leaf and fly away with it. The edge on that leaf looked like the kind of marks that were left on my leafy greens. Whatever it was has never taken/eaten pieces of my tomato, pepper, or hops plants. and the damage it leaves doesn't look like photos that i've seen of different insect damage. But I don't know what to do about it... I have a dog that spends a lot of time in the yard but doesn't really bother the birds when they come around. And there are also stray cats coming around all the time. but they still seem to want my spinach and lettuce. and bean plant leaves. |
Follow-Up Postings:
So I just sat outside for a little while and I suppose this is the thieving hour because I just watched a couple of these little friends: http://ucsantacruz.ucnrs.org/wp-admin/images/researchpics/ylrbirds/House_Sparrow.jpg some house sparrows, ripping pieces off of my lettuce plants and flying away. They barely paid any mind to me coming toward them until I was about 3 feet away. My dog just watched lazily as the birds tore apart my greens. what do they want it for? are they eating it? building a nest? can I offer something else that will make them lose interest in my salad greens? |
Bird netting. I wouldn't feed them or you'll have them forever, you'll find them more interested in seeds, seedlings, fruits, berries than in insects - so not particularly beneficial to have nearby. |
- Posted by Plantsnthings none (My Page) on Mon, May 9, 11 at 22:21
They seem to like my spinach and lettuce more than anything else |
I've done as much as I can to discourage them here, including removing their nests when they take over bird boxes - or we'd have no native birds in the neighborhood at all. We agreed as a neighborhood to not put out food other than nyger seed for finches and chickadees (the clinging type eaters) etc (sparrows can't eat from those feeders) and hummingbird feeders, that's helped enormously. There were so many sparrows for a couple of years we were honestly considering trapping the males but it didn't come to that - and now we have mosquito eating swallows back and nesting every year :) The plastic bird netting is inexpensive and easy to handle, you can roll it back up and use again next year if you have to. |

(Updates with comments from central bank statement in fifth, eighth and 13th paragraphs.)
Jan. 12 (Bloomberg) -- Chile's central bank unexpectedly cut its benchmark interest rate for the first time in more than two years as growth in the world's leading copper producer shows signs of slowing.
The four-member policy board, led for the second time by bank President Rodrigo Vergara, reduced the overnight rate by a quarter-point to 5 percent today, matching the forecast of four of 20 analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. Sixteen expected policy makers to keep rates unchanged for a seventh straight month.
Chile joins Brazil in cutting interest rates to boost growth, even after inflation in the Andean nation exceeded the upper limit of central bank's target in December. With the highest borrowing costs among major rate-setting economies in Latin America, the two countries have space to keep stimulating growth if the European sovereign-debt crisis deteriorates.
The impact on the Chilean economy is "already taking place and opens space to cut rates," Cristobal Doberti, chief economist at Santiago-based Bice Inversiones, said by phone today. "We expect three quarter-point cuts in the first quarter, which is a moderate rather than aggressive reduction."
Additional changes to the benchmark interest rate will depend on internal and external economic conditions and their impact on Chilean inflation, the central bank said in a statement accompanying today's decision.
Rate Forecasts
Policy makers will lower the key rate to 4.5 percent by June and to 4.25 percent by the end of the year, according to the median estimate of 60 economists in a Jan. 10 central bank survey.
According to the same survey, the economy will expand 4 percent in December from the year earlier, matching growth seen in November, while gains in gross domestic product will moderate to 4 percent this year from 6.2 percent in 2011.
"On the local front, economic activity and internal demand have evolved in line with projections," the bank said in today's statement.
Chile's Finance Minister Felipe Larrain, a non-voting participant of central bank meetings, last week told reporters a rate reduction would be "reasonable" in January.
"It's evident the Chilean economy is decelerating," he said. "We're still growing, but at a lower rate than the first half of last year. The effects of the external crisis have affected us somewhat."
The price of copper, Chile's largest export, declined 21 percent last year and industrial production in October fell for the first time since the aftermath of the 8.8-magnitude earthquake in February 2010.
Inflation Accelerates
Larrain's comments came before the statistics agency reported that consumer prices jumped a greater-than-expected 0.6 percent in December, pushing annual inflation to 4.4 percent, the fastest pace since April 2009.
"Headline and core inflation in December were higher than expected because of the prices of perishables and other food," the bank said in today's statement. "Inflationary expectations remain around the target."
A report by the central bank's research department yesterday said December's jump in prices largely reflected short-term factors such as gains in fruit and vegetables as well as the impact of a weaker peso. The bank estimates inflation will slow to 2.7 percent this year.
Economists including Alejandro Puente at Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria SA in Santiago changed their forecast from a rate cut to another hold in January after the December inflation report. Policy makers target 3 percent inflation, plus or minus one percentage point.
The peso strengthened 1.2 percent to 499.89 per U.S. dollar today. The Chilean currency has gained 3.9 percent so far this month, trailing the Colombian peso and the Brazilian real.

The Found Photo Alliance
Other people's memories can be purchased for as little as a quarter at antique shops, flea markets, and estate sales across the United States. I've been collecting "found photographs" for almost ten years, mainly in the form of vintage snapshots that date to the 1920s through the 1970s. Generally the photographs are shot by everyday people with amateur equipment with an eye for recording an event, moment, or object rather than an artistic composition. When digging through shoeboxes full of snapshots I look for certain subject matter including cats, examples of fashion/style/outfits, Chicago architecture and landmarks, photo booth photos, and arcade photos that feature a painted backdrop. I'm also fond of scrapbooks, yearbooks, and anything with a quirky handwritten caption. Found photos appeal to me because they're a glimpse into the lives of everyday people and they're small, affordable pieces of history.
Every week I'll be sharing my collection here for Found Photo Friday and on Instagram using the hashtag #foundphotoalliance. In the future there will also be interviews with fellow collectors, reviews of books featuring snapshots, and guest posts.
Today I'm sharing the album of Betty, a WWII sailor's sweetheart. I purchased the album a few months ago at a local flea market from an avid Chicago-area collector, Ron Slattery of Big Happy Funhouse. I was drawn to the anchor emblazoned album and the cheeky captions scrawled on the back of the photos by Betty.
The photos in the album date to 1942 - 1944 and based on the captions they were sent from Betty in Chicago to her husband Bob.
"I'm sticking my tongue out haha at Irene not you honey."
"Taken in March 1944. Bob and Bets. This is the one and only picture I have of Bob and I together since we were kids".
"This is me standing in front of the gas station you used to work at. Boy do I ever look tall there huh honey? I've got the blue shirt you sent me, how does it look? Sept 1943".
"I've got Rose Marie's new fox fur coat on-- It makes me look like a bear huh?"
"Here I am, all dressed up and no place to go-- darn! There's veiling over my head to keep from breaking my camera--any objections-- over ruled ha ha".
"This was the clearest one of all. taken 4/11/43, Sunday at 5:30 PM on Michigan Ave. Sure wish you were on that bench with me, darling".
"Betty the 2 week waitress at a closer view ugh! I've got my hair upswept and I don't like it-- Do you? This picture is too serious--Gosh. I didn't even recognize myself ugh!"
"See that sign not bad eh? Kinda windy out today very windy in fact." Center: "I'm sitting on a wheelbarrow honey. I only wish I was as happy as I look when you come home darlin' I'll be happy again." Left: "I'm eating a banana here cause I got hungry. That's Michigan Blvd in the background honey."
"July 3, 1943. How do you like my new white skirt and colored blouse? I haven't any stockings on either kid just leg makeup on-- looks real don't it?"
"I've got the purse you sent me in my hand honey-- you like-- no!?"
(Middle photo): "This is me honey believe it or not. The suns in my eyes, darn! I couldn't keep my eyes open! That's how I look tonite, dog tired!"Right: "This is me in Dad's car taken in Lisle, Illinois October, 1943".

Vertis Communications — 21st Century Marketing
October 2007 By Erik CagleSenior Editor
It stands to reason that those businesses who wish to convert information regarding the wants and needs of the consumer public to their economic advantage need to align themselves with the most savvy of marketing concerns. And any conversation dealing with marketing, advertising, printing and mailing is incomplete without a healthy mention of Vertis Communications.
Speaking of a company constantly on the go, Vertis Communications mirrors the industries it serves. The Baltimore-based behemoth has seen its name change twice in the last seven years; once known as Big Flower, the moniker switched to Vertis (the middle part of 'advertisement') in 2000, then to its current handle in 2006 to more accurately reflect its role as a marketing partner.
The shingles in front of Vertis Communications' 100 nationwide locations aren't the only difference in the company. Take a peek at what has transpired in the last two years alone.
During 2006:
• USA Direct of York, PA, was acquired.
• Ten Océ VarioStream digital printing systems were installed at the Bristol, PA, plant.
• Vertis Communications beefed up its direct marketing campaign solutions with the release of the ¡Alcance! Hispanic tools.
• The Vertis OnDemand Web portal was introduced, enabling print-on-demand fulfillment of direct mail and marketing communications.
• Variable data digital color capabilities were bolstered at two facilities.
• Michael DuBose assumed the role of chairman and CEO in December following Dean Durbin's resignation.
And 2007 hasn't exactly been quiet, either, with a few headlines to date:
• Barry Kohn is named chief financial officer.
• The company invests $33 million in capital expenditures through June, a figure that will reach $55 million by year's end.
• A new premedia facility is opened in St. Louis, while a direct marketing plant in Chalfont, PA, embarks on an expansion project.
• The company unveils MailTrail, its direct mail tracking program.
• At press time, Vertis Communications was putting the finishing touches on its merger with American Color Graphics (ACG) of Brentwood, TN. ACG posted revenues of $445 million in its latest fiscal year, and the union would create a company with just shy of $2 billion in sales.
Results-Driven Processes
It's a tall order to fully absorb the depth of products and services offered by Vertis Communications. Understanding its objective—finding the most efficient, cost-effective and results-driven processes to deliver a client's message—is far easier.
