Arizona Cardinals
Report: Cardinals' Jason Licht could become next GM in Jacksonville
"Black Monday" marks the first official day when organizations across the NFL begin to fire employees (head coach, coordinators and general managers) in the hopes of improving their respective clubs in the coming year.
However in a 24-hour news cycle, those moves are often announced a few days earlier.
On Sunday, ESPN Insider Adam Schefter tweeted that the Jacksonville Jaguars intend to relieve GM Gene Smith of his duties following Sunday's season finale. Schefter also went on to say that one of Smith's two potential replacements is Jason Licht, the Director of Player Personnel for the Arizona Cardinals.
Licht is currently in his second stint with the Cardinals. In 2008, he served as a personnel executive with the team before leaving for the New England Patriots (2009-11) to take over as their Director of Pro Personnel.
He returned to Arizona in May 2012.

Good morning, I am new to bamboo, but not new to gardening.
I am interested in bamboo that will survive the winters here in wisconsin. Two possibilities come to mind, one would be for bamboo fishing poles, like I used 50+ years ago. The second would be for a screen between my 5 acres and a relatively busy highway. I would sure appreciate any information anyone can help me with, and any leads on where to get starter plants. Thanks Much, Jonathan |
Follow-Up Postings:
Jonathan- Wisconsin is pretty marginal for success with bamboo. However, it may be possible. What USDA Zone are you in, and what are your winters like? |

Siesta man to prone paddle 27 miles for Wounded Warriors
Date: February 15, 2013
by: Nick Friedman | Community Editor
After months of training, Siesta Key resident, Abe Uccello, will join 60 other athletes tomorrow morning, Saturday, Feb. 16, for a 27-mile prone paddling trip from Fort Desoto Park in St. Petersburg, to Lido Key Beach to raise money for the Wounded Warriors project.
Prone paddling, the sport that spurred the increase in popularity of upright paddle boarding, utilizes a longer thinner board, and the athlete balances on his knees while paddling with his arms.
The 27-mile trip, called Paddle with Purpose, will raise money for the Wounded Warriors Project. Through sponsors from local businesses, including, Lumina Health, ERA Waterside Realty, HYPR Atlantic Surf and Paddle, Gilligan's Island Bar and Lelu's Coffee Lounge and contributions from individual donors, Uccello has raised more than $2500 for the charity, which helps wounded veterans and their families.
"This is a great way to thank our veterans," says Uccello. "I have a profound appreciation for their sacrifice, and having these great paddlers come together is a unique way to show support."

Riksbank Deputy Governor Karolina Ekholm said the recent weakening of the krona has eased the need for policy makers to revise their inflation forecast lower.
The currency would need to strengthen "quite a bit" to affect monetary policy through lower inflation, she said to reporters in Stockholm today.
The Swedish krona has weakened almost 1 percent against the euro since Feb. 16, when the Riksbank cut interest rates for second consecutive meeting to ward off a recession in the largest Nordic economy. Policy makers lowered the repo rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 1.5 percent, and indicated they will keep rates unchanged until the first quarter of 2013.
Ekholm, going against a majority of the six-member board, last month advocated lowering the rate to 1.25 percent and a repo-rate path of 1 percent through the third quarter of 2013.
The krona strengthened 0.2 percent to 8.9146 per euro and 0.4 percent to 6.8252 per dollar today.

When you need a service cart; you need a service cart. Decades ago when I worked in the electronics service business you couldn't operate efficiently without at least a dozen of these. Now working on projects and the occasional dead power amp I'm handicapped without one of these handy carts! Kind of expensive compared to what they use to cost but the quality is just as good as ever.

The Seattle Times
Party at the Harbaughs — not!
"We share our misery with no one but ourselves," Jack Harbaugh, 77, told the San Francisco Chronicle, saying he and his wife Jackie will be alone with their TV in the basement of their Mequon, Wis., home on Sunday, watching sons John and Jim coach in the NFL's conference-championship games.
It was certainly misery a year ago, when John's Ravens and Jim's 49ers both lost at this juncture. But the Harbaughs hit the trifecta last Saturday, when both sons — and son-in-law Tom Crean, basketball coach of No. 5 Indiana — all won their games.
"My parents are in their 70s," Jim Harbaugh told the Chronicle. "That's a lot of excitement, that's a lot of action. That's like going back-to-back-to-back, like three '24' episodes in a row."
• At SportsPickle.com: "All of Lance Armstrong's Little League Baseball home runs to be asterisked."
• At TheOnion.com: "Adrian Peterson re-tears ACL in preparation for 2013 season."
Spurred to action

• Mavericks owner Mark Cuban, to reporters, on his willingness to trade to improve his struggling team: "The 'Bank of Cuban' is open."
• NBC's Jimmy Fallon, on Jets backup QB Tim Tebow selling his own line of headphones: "You can tell they are Tim Tebow headphones. Once you hook it up to your iPod, it barely plays."

Gear Question
do u have asian fit size for EG2?
do u have asian fit size for EG2?
Cory Guru
No, only the standard padding- I don't see that we have anything in 'asian fit'.
Pete Schnarsky
Lol, thanks for the chuckle Cory, cap check out the other goggles that Electric offers. They have an EG.5 an EG1 and this year even an EG2.5 all three of these goggles have a smaller fit than the EG2. I assume that this is what your looking for when you refer to "asian fit" if you are looking to have all of the goggle of the EG2 and just can't seem to fill up the nose space, I would suggest getting yourself some extra padding and taping it in there Mcgyver style. I have seen this approach work well for some asian homies. Hope this helps!!!

i just picked up a pair of these EG2's and it fits my small asian face..//Go Get IT!!!

Myanmar's emergence as Asia's next tiger economy is more potential than reality as a rush of investors finds little to spend money on besides a limited supply of hotel rooms after six decades of isolation.
"Every day, another delegation, another delegation, another delegation, and no one's putting money on the table," says Tony Picon, associate director of property broker Colliers International Thailand. "The business community that's visiting Myanmar must be honest and say 'We're just looking, we're not going to buy,' and not leading a false sense of anticipation from the local community."
Investors' first hurdle is the sanctions maintained by the U.S. and Europe, which policy makers are preparing to review following by-elections next week that include dissident Aung San Suu Kyi. Even then, restrictions on capital flows, lack of a developed stock exchange, an untested legal environment and rudimentary infrastructure will offer plenty of reasons for holding off putting money in the former dictatorship.
A flow of corporate executives and tourists to Yangon, the former capital and largest city, has "astronomically" lifted hotel prices in the past few months to as high as $400 per night, according to Picon. At the same time, many businesses are balking at long-term deals, making local agents reluctant to deal with foreigners, he said.
'Difficult Market'
"Nobody is putting money anywhere at the moment," said Luc de Waegh, founder of business-advisory company West Indochina Ltd. who helped set up British American Tobacco Plc (BATS)'s Myanmar operations in 1993. "It's a difficult market, it's a small market, it's a market where people don't have much disposable income. The future looks very bright, but in the meantime there isn't much money there."
Opportunities in the country of 64 million people are clear. Investor Jim Rogers, the chairman of Rogers Holdings who predicted a global commodities rally in 1999, said Feb. 22 he'd put all his money in Myanmar if he could.
Myanmar's total land area, second only to Indonesia in Southeast Asia, contains deposits of gold, copper and gemstones. The nation is positioned between India and China, astride maritime trade routes between Europe and East Asia and was in British colonial times the world's largest rice exporter -- a title now held by neighbor and onetime enemy Thailand.
France's Total SA, Chevron Corp. (CVX:US) of the U.S. and Malaysia's Petroliam Nasional Bhd. entered the nation years ago to tap offshore energy reserves. Even so, large swathes of its waters sit unexplored, indicating the potential is greater than the proven gas reserves that the BP Statistical Review estimates to amount to one-eighth the size of Malaysia's.
Energy Riches
"Arguably though, Myanmar's gas reserves are much higher given the unexplored areas of its extensive coastline," CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets said in a research note this month. "The development of Myanmar's energy resources, along with the connecting of the Asean transportation network, will boost foreign investment flows into the region."
Myanmar's per capita gross domestic product amounts to $2.25 per day, about half that of Vietnam and 14 percent of neighboring Thailand's, according to International Monetary Fund estimates. Only one in 30 people has a mobile phone and even fewer have Internet access, Nomura Holdings Inc. said in a March 14 report.
The nation attracted about 800,000 tourists in 2010, 20 times less than neighboring Thailand, as its hundreds of kilometers of coastline sit undeveloped. The total amount of office space in Yangon is equivalent to about a third of that available in Empire Tower, the biggest office building in Bangkok's central business district, according to Colliers.
Backwater Legacy
The relative underdevelopment is a legacy of military rule that eschewed international engagement. The seizure of power and confiscation of private assets took an economy that the World Bank in 1960 said had "many elements of strength" and turned it into one of Southeast Asia's backwaters.
President Thein Sein, who took power after elections in 2010, is now taking steps to loosen controls on the economy, moves the IMF said in January could make Myanmar "the next economic frontier in Asia."
Draft legislation in parliament may extend tax exemptions for foreign companies investing in the country to as long as eight years from the current three, according to Rupert Haw, an attorney with the DFDL law firm in Bangkok who monitors Myanmar.
Other measures may be less appealing to overseas businesses, by easing the provisions for nationalization and strengthening quotas for local employment, Haw said. Restrictions on rights of foreign investors to buy private equity in enterprises owned by Myanmar citizens also needs to be addressed if the country wishes to attract foreign capital, he said.
'Mixed Bag'
"The draft bill presents something of a mixed bag of reform on the one hand and rather more protectionist measures on the other," Haw said by e-mail, adding that it has since been amended and the final version likely won't be published until it's signed into law. "It is doubtful that this bill will in itself stimulate a huge increase in investment."
Foreign banks may get a chance to operate in the country in 2015, when an agreement to integrate with the 10-nation Association of Southeast Asian Nations takes effect. Authorities are currently working to dismantle a complex multiple-exchange- rate system that has contributed to an economy being largely run on cash, depriving small business of credit needed to expand.
Banks such as Standard Chartered Plc (STAN) are waiting for sanctions to be lifted before considering a return, said Neeraj Swaroop, head of Southeast Asia excluding Singapore for the U.K. lender that earns more than two-thirds of its profit in Asia.
'Still Early'
American sanctions ban investment in Myanmar and imports from the country, restrict money transfers, freeze assets and target jewelry with gemstones originating in the nation. The European Union bans weapons sales and mineral imports.
"It's still early and we will have to wait and see how it pans out before we make any formal commitments," Swaroop told reporters last week in Bangkok. "We will follow our clients and the clients will obviously go in when they see some of this enabling stuff becoming easier."
Standard Chartered has reason to be cautious. A predecessor of the current London-based company was one of more than a dozen banks nationalized in 1963, when Myanmar's generals seized control of most major industries.
"If a company lacks any kind of economic or political leverage, they will continue to be exposed to creeping expropriation risks," Johannes Lund, a Singapore-based analyst at Control Risks, said by phone. "You will encounter entrenched, established interests."

We are looking to replace our shower head in our Master. Would really LOVE a shower head with a slide bar. Specifically, we want two shower heads. One fixed (not a rain-shower, though) and one that slides on the bar. Any suggestions? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do you want to be able to use both at the same time, or just one at a time? I have Kohler Bancroft separate fixed and hand shower (plus a rain head) and can operate them together or singly, but it requires a separate diverter valve in addition to the temperature valve. Kohler also has a package with the diverter on the fixed shower arm, but with that you can only use one or the other. btw - we love the Kohler showers - looks and function! |
How much work were you wanting to put in? Grohe has some pure retro-fit kits for almost no work (just replace existing shower head piping). It appears to be a rain head which you were not keen on, but I have showered in the Grohe kits and it's decent (handheld is better though). |
Here is a link that might be useful: Grohe Retrofits
I don't understand why you would need a fixed AND a slider handheld. We have a Grohe slider with a handheld. The head is a Relexa and the bar is something else, but they are interchangeable with Grohe. You can slide that sucker way up with just a touch and easily tilt it up and down to any angle. Then it lifts right out very easily to spray those other parts that down falling water misses. This is very, very different from the (cheaper) ones that are not adjustable when you put the hand held head in it's holder, when you have to tighten a screw to keep it in a fixed place. I have arthritis in my hands and this one is very easy to operate...and it looks good too! I hope you have access to a plumbing store that has some of these types on display. Play with them and see how you like the way they adjust...they are all a bit different and I know you will find one that is just right for you. -Babka |
I'm looking at the Hudson Reed website, and they have some intriguing looking ones. I don't know anything about their quality though. |

» Update your details
Jane Austen's last novel, and her debut in our award-winning graphic-cover series. With cover illustration by Audrey Niffenegger, and an introduction by Colm Tóibín.
Written during Jane Austen's race against failing health, Persuasion tells the story of Anne Elliot, a woman who-at twenty-seven-is no longer young and has few romantic prospects. Eight years ago, she was persuaded by her friend Lady Russell to break off her engagement to Frederick Wentworth, a handsome naval captain with neither fortune nor rank. When Anne and Frederick meet again, he has acquired both, but still feels the sting of her rejection. A brilliant satire of vanity and pretension, Austen's last completed novel is also a movingly told love story tinged with the heartache of missed opportunities.

Anybody else having issues with Pro Comp wheels being on back order?
I'm trying to pick up a set of 8089's in 17x8 from 4 Wheel Parts. First, I called the order center and they said that they were on back order until December. So then, I called the local store nearest me (Jacksonville, Fl), and the guy said he had two in stock, but didn't know when he would get any more due to them being on back order.
Does any one have any suggestions on where to pick up a couple of these wheels for around the same price as 4 Wheel Parts has them ($131.00)?
I gotta make a move while I've got the wife's support on this!

Everyone Has Been Hacked. Now What?
- |
- 7:22 pm |
- Permalink
Independent security researcher Dan Kaminsky says he's glad the security bubble has finally burst and that people are realizing that no network is immune from attack. That, he says, means the security industry and its customers can finally face the uncomfortable fact that what they've been doing for years isn't working.
"There's been a deep conservatism around, 'Do what everyone else is doing, whether or not it works.' It's not about surviving, it's about claiming you did due diligence," Kaminsky says. "That's good if you're trying to keep a job. It's bad if you're trying to solve a technical problem."
In reality, Kaminsky says, "No one knows how to make a secure network right now. There's no obvious answer that we're just not doing because we're lazy."
Simply installing firewalls and intrusion detection systems and keeping anti-virus signatures up to date won't cut it anymore — especially since most companies never know they've been hit until someone outside the firm tells them.
"If someone walks up to you on the street and hits you with a lead pipe, you know you were hit in the head with a lead pipe," Kaminsky says. "Computer security has none of that knowing you were hit in the head with a lead pipe."
According to Richard Bejtlich, chief security officer for computer security firm Mandiant, which has helped Google and many other companies conduct forensics and clean up their networks after an attack, the average cyberespionage attack goes on for 458 days, well over a year, before a company discovers it's been hacked. That's actually an improvement over a few years ago, he says, when it was normal to find attackers had been in a network two or three years before being discovered.
Bejtlich credits the drop in time not to companies doing better internal monitoring, but to notifications by the FBI, the Naval Criminal Investigative Service and the Air Force Office of Special Investigation, who discover breaches through a range of tactics including hanging out in hacker forums and turning hackers into confidential informants, as well as other tactics they decline to discuss publicly. These government agencies then notify companies that they've been hacked before they know it themselves.

Mainstream Media Blackout On Sheen 9/11 Piece Controlled gatekeepers and delusional Neo-Cons attempt to kill story
Paul Joseph Watson & Alex Jones/Prison Planet.com | March 22 2006
Despite a huge reaction amongst the alternative media to Charlie Sheen's comments on 9/11, in part due to a brief link on the Drudge Report which was mysteriously pulled after a few hours, newswires and entertainment outlets have actively sought to impose a blackout on the story.
In our first conversation with the Associated Press they strongly indicated that they would be running a story on Sheen's comments, as they did with Carlos Santana's much weaker comments about the Iraq war. However, after talking with Jeff Williams of the LA Associated Press office it became clear what the policy was.
Williams' attitude was brash and arrogant in saying (to paraphrase), 'I know all about Charlie Sheen and I don't care what he says.'
Asked if the story was newsworthy in comparison with the milquetoast Santana piece, Williams responded by saying 'we're not going to run anything.'
Asked again if the story would be newsworthy if it wasn't attached to the 9/11 information and was just Sheen criticizing Bush, Williams barked 'you're not gonna bait me!' and slammed the phone down.
Further attempts to contact the Associated Press were met with stern rebuttals of 'we're not talking to you'.
Subsequently we contacted the Hollywood Reporter and spoke to a polite individual who said that he did consider the Sheen story to be newsworthy and that he had flagged it up for a potential piece, but that he was later told by someone in a higher office that there was to be no story and it seemed unusual.
We then contacted another major newswire who indicated that they had seen the story but under no circumstances were they touching it.
Does this represent simple journalistic cowardice or should we pay attention to the fact that the government has been caught time and time again paying off reporters to produce fake news and the Church Hearings of the 70's which concluded that the CIA has fully infiltrated newspapers and newswires with their agents across the country?
The mainstream media pour over stories about every detail of Mr. Sheen's personal life whether real or manufactured yet will they remain silent when Sheen actually discusses something serious?
George Bush can be an admitted narcotics user, have DWI's, frolic around with homosexual porn star Jeff Gannon, scream at staffers and have fits of anger, lie naked in a coffin and masturbate as part of his skull and bones ritual, and engage in mock human sacrifice at Bohemian Grove, a place where gay male porn stars are bused in to 'service' the members', and yet we are attacked by hypocritical phony Christians by even having Mr. Sheen as a guest on the show.
Again, Carlos Santana is all over the news today for criticizing George Bush and the Iraq war yet Charlie Sheen has gone much further, if the media ignores this story it is proof positive of a cover-up.
If Sheen had gone way overboard on 9/11 or used a limited hangout in saying that the attack was a result of incompetence the media would have been all over it. It is precisely because Sheen is dead on target with the facts that they have to ignore the story because his argument is credible.
Reaction from delusional Neo-Cons, a dwindling rabble of ignorant government apologists, has been predictable. The sum of counter-arguments against the evidence carefully presented by Sheen amounts to comments like "Sheen is an idiot," or the following comment which we received via e mail.
"Since Charlie Sheen has been dead for twenty years don't know how you got him to comment on 9/11. Maybe you should have contacted Elvis, he is living in inner city Detroit running a rescue mission with Adolph. They are also writing a book on how the South won the war. What the hell are you democrats going to come up with next? Do you all have day jobs?"
So the best they can come up with is saying Charlie Sheen's comments are not credible because he doesn't exist! This is the most bizarre conspiracy theory of them all and yet it is this insane level of idiocy that constitutes a minority of the response we received. Most comments were supportive of Mr. Sheen and his brave action in going public with his stance.
Sheen initially came forward because he was concerned about where America is heading as a country. He is the first from his industry to go public and his couragerousness should be saluted. Alex Jones has spoken privately with other Hollywood figures that are educated on 9/11 yet do not wish to step into the limelight and risk being attacked. Sheen took the risk and the reaction has been mute because he was very careful about his research before speaking out. This should be seen as a victory. The media cannot spin Sheen's comments because they are dead on target and leave no room to be taken out of context.
We will not cease in our efforts to turn this into a massive story but we need your support. Get the story and e mail it out to every newspaper, newswire and TV news station in existence.
The media's unwillingness to cover this issue only deepens the abyss that they find themselves in. We are not whining because the media won't give us or Sheen any attention, we don't even need the mainstream anymore to reach people, we can do it ourselves. But their reaction speaks volumes about how they are conditioned and in many cases ordered to shy away from these kind of stories.
Newspaper readership and TV news viewership is plummeting as people flock to the alternative media because the mainstream's credibility lies in tatters as it repeatedly lies by omission and covers-up for its government handlers.

I recently blogged about my Ubuntu Scopes Contest Wishlist after we kicked off the Scopes Development Competition where Ubuntu Phone Scope developers can be in with a chance of winning cool devices and swag. See the above links for more details.
As a judge on that contest I've been keeping an eye out for interesting scopes that are under development for the competition. As we're at the half way point in the contest I thought I'd mention a few. Of course me mentioning them here doesn't mean they're favourites or winners, I'm just raising awareness of the competition and hopefully helping to inspire more people to get involved.
Developers have until 3rd December to complete their entry to be in with a chance of winning a laptop, tablet and other cool stuff. We'll accept new scopes in the Ubuntu Click Store at any time though
Robert Schroll is working on a GMail scope giving fast access to email.
Bogdan Cuza is developing a Mixcloud scope making it easy to search for cool songs and remixes.
Sam Segers has a Google Places scope making it easy to find local businesses.
Michael Weimann has been working on a Nearby Scope and has been blogging about his progress.
Dan has also been blogging about the Cinema Scope.
Finally Riccardo Padovani has been posting screenshots of his Duck Duck Go Scope which is already in the click store.
I'm sure there there are other scopes I've missed. Feel free to link to them in the comments. It's incredibly exciting for me to see early adopter developers embracing our fast-moving platform to realise their ideas.
Good luck to everyone entering the contest.
TweetWe're running a Scope Development Competition with prizes including a laptop, tablets, and a bunch of cool Ubuntu swag. Check the above link for details.
I'm one of the judges, so I'm not allowed to enter which is both good and bad news. Good because then you won't see my terrible coding quality, but bad because I would really love one of these sweet Dell XPS laptops!
I do have things I'd like to see made as scopes, and some ideas for making ones that I might do in the future when time permits, and I thought I'd share them. As a judge I'm not saying "make this scope and I'll vote for your entry" of course, I simply figured I can give people some ideas, if they're stuck. We do have a set of criteria (see link above) for rating the scopes that are submitted, and those will be used for judging. None of those criteria are "whether it was on the list on popey's blog". These are just ideas to get people thinking about what might be possible / useful with a scope.
Surfacing my dataOne of the goals of scopes is to enable users to easily and quickly get access to their data. That could be local data on the device or remote data in a silo somewhere online. Typically on other platforms you'd need a dedicated app to get at that data. To access your Spotify playlist you need the Spotify app, to access your LinkedIn data you need the LinkedIn app and so on. Many of the sites and services where my data is held is accessible via an API of some kind. I'd love to see scopes created to surface that data directly to my face when I want it.
Manage Spotify PlaylistI use and love Spotify. One problem I have is that I don't often add new music to my playlists. I don't use or value the search function in the app, or the social connected features (I don't have my Spotify hooked up to Facebook, and don't have any friends on Facebook anyway). I tend to add new music when I'm having a real life verbal conversation with people, or when listening to the radio.
So what I would like is some quick and easy way to add tracks to my playlist, which I can subsequently play later when I'm not in the pub / driving / listening to the radio during breakfast. This could possibly sign in to Spotify using my credentials, allow me to search for tracks and then use the API to add tracks to playlist
Amazon WishlistMy family tell me I'm really hard to buy presents for, especially at this time of year. I disagree as I have an Amazon wishlist containing over a hundred items at all price points When I visit family they may ask what's on my wishlist to find out what I'm most interested in.
I'd like to be able to pull out my phone, and with a couple of swipes show them my wishlist. It would also be useful if it had the ability to 'share' the wishlist URL over some method (email is one, SMS might be another) so they get their own copy to peruse later.
I'd also like to be able to add things to the wishlist easily. Often when I'm out I think "That's cool, would love one of those" and that could be achieved with a simple search function, then add to my wishlist.
Location Specific Satellites OverheadI (and my kids) like to watch the International Space Station go over. Perhaps I enjoy it more than the kids who are made to stand outside in the cold, but whatever. When I travel it would be nice to have a scope which I can turn to during twilight hours to see when the ISS (or indeed other satellites) are passing overhead. This information appears to be publicly available via well documented APIs.
Upcoming TV ProgrammesI frequently forget that my favourite TV programmes are on, or available to stream. It would be awesome to pull together data from somewhere like Trakt and show me which of my most loved programmes are going to be broadcast soon, on what local TV channel.
Events NearbyWhen I travel I like to know if there's any music, social or tech events on locally that I might be interested in going to. There's quite a few sites where people post their events including Songkick, Meetup and Eventbrite (among many others I'm sure) which have a local event look-up API. One of the cool things about scopes is you can aggregate content from multiple scopes together. So there could be a scope for each of the above mentioned sites, plus a general "Local Events" scope which pulls data from all of those together. Going to one scope and refreshing when I arrive in a new location would be a great quick way to find out what's on locally.
Some of the above may be impractical or not possible due to API limitations or other technical issues, they're just some ideas I had when thinking about what I would like to see on my phone. I'm sure others can come up with great ideas too! Let your imagination run wild!
Good luck to all those entering the contest!
TweetFor the last week I've been working with 230 other Ubuntu people in Washington, DC. We have sprints like this pretty frequently now and are a great way to collaborate and Get Things Done™ at high velocity.
This is the second sprint where we've invited some of the developers who are blazing a trail with our Core Apps project. Not everyone could make it to the sprint, and those who didn't were certainly missed. These are people who give their own time to work on some of the featured and default apps on the Ubuntu Phone, and perhaps in the future on the converged desktop.
It's been a busy week with discussion & planning punctuating intense hacking sessions. Once again I'm proud of the patience, professionalism and and hard work done by these guys working on bringing up our core apps project on a phone that hasn't event shipped a single device yet!
We've spent much of the week discussing and resolving design issues, fixing performance bugs, crashers and platform integration issues, as well as the odd game of 'Cards Against Humanity' & 'We Didn't Playtest This At All' in the bar afterwards.
Having 10 community developers in the same place as 200+ Canonical people accelerates things tremendously. Being able to go and sit with the SDK team allowed Robert Schroll to express his issues with the tools when developing Beru, the ebook reader. When Filippo Scognamiglio needed help with mouse and touch input, we could grab Florian Boucault and Daniel d'Andrada to provide tips. Having Renato Filho nearby to fix problems in Evolution Data Server allowed Kunal Parmar and Mihir Soni to resolve calendar issues. The list goes on.
All week we've been collaborating towards a common goal of high quality, beautiful, performant and stable applications for the phone today, and desktop of the future. It's been an incredibly fun and productive week, and I'm a little sad to be heading home today. But I'm happy that we've had this time together to improve the free software we all care deeply about.
The relationships built up during these sprints will of course endure. We all exchange email addresses and IRC nicknames, so we can continue the conversation once the sprint is over. Development and meetings will continue beyond the sprint, in the virtual world of IRC, hangouts and mailing lists.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (BEASLEY) -- Middle Tennessee's stellar defensive play led the way in Saturday's victory over South Alabama.
With the help of four defensive turnovers and career-high 154 yards from Jordan Parker, the Blue Raiders defeated South Alabama by a score of 20-12.
Middle Tennessee now stands at 7-3 (5-1 SBC) after recorder it's fifth road win, the most since 1992.
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — The fall football season got underway Thursday night here in Middle Tennessee, with several mid-state teams starting the season at home.
The New Orleans Saints took no chances in their final pre-season game, resting all starters in a 10-6 loss to the Tennessee Titans.
Marcus Lattimore ran for two touchdowns and Connor Shaw ran for 92 yards while playing the second half with an injured shoulder as No. 9 South Carolina rallied for a 17-13 victory against Vanderbilt. Lattimore scored the go-ahead TD on a 1-yard run with 11:25 to go.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (HUBBARD) -- MTSU football will look to rebound from last year's tough season when they take the field at Floyd Stadium Thursday tonight.
The Blue Raiders finished the 2011 season with a 2-10 record, giving up an average of 37 points a game.
Head coach Rick Stockstill shook things up in the spring when he brought in former SEC defensive coordinator Tyrone Nix to lend a hand.
Despite the defensive changes, starting quarterback Logan Kilgore says the offensive scheme will remain much the same.
MURFREESBORO, TENN. (HUBBARD) -- WMOT continues to explore what the fall football season might have in store for Tennessee schools. University of Tennessee fans haven't had a lot to cheer about in recent seasons, but there is some reason for Vols fans to be optimistic in 2012.
Tennessee stumbled through a 5-7 season in 2011 and ended it with a humiliating loss to rival Kentucky.
Lost in the poor record was Tennessee's solid defense.
The defense was ranked 27th nationally and helped the team stay competitive in games against Georgia and South Carolina.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. (HUBBARD) -- WMOT previews the fall football season this week with a look at the prospects of several mid-state teams. First up, the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders.
MTSU football will look to rebound from last year's tough season when they take the field at Floyd Stadium Aug. 30.

Mesa Republican Matt Salmon should pay only about one-third of a $10,000 fine levied for unintentional late reporting of campaign spending last year, a state administrative law judge said in a recommendation released Tuesday.
The Citizens Clean Elections Commission erred in ordering the highest possible fine under its policies in February, said judge Brian B. Tully. The judge recommended a fine of $3,471.
Salmon acted "in good faith" to comply with complicated reporting rules while spending $2 million in a losing bid for the governor's office, Tully said.
Salmon called Tully's recommendation a "major victory" because administrative judges usually approve sanctions by state agencies.
"The judge said what we've been saying all along," Salmon said. "I feel very, very good about this."
The commission will decide June 24 whether to accept Tully's recommendation. Executive director Colleen Conner said she might ask the commission to approve the lower fine, but she wants the five-member group to reject Tully's rationale behind any reduction.
"This is a major precedentsetting case," Conner said. "We should establish the principle that candidates will comply with the statutes on reporting requirements."
Salmon, an opponent of public financing for campaigns, has been locked in a bitter feud with Connor and the commission for months. The commission had ruled that Salmon was late in reporting nearly $100,000 in spending during the Republican primary campaign. But Tully said that amount included more than $31,000 in spending that already had been considered and cleared by the commission in late August.
Tully said he couldn't determine after a May 6 hearing exactly how much spending was reported late. The amount is between $3,471 and $66,925, Tully said.
"However, the assessment of a $10,000 fine, while clearly within the authority of the commission, appears extremely high given the totality of the evidence of record," Tully wrote.

... Portland FCU gave away 50 turkey dinners in November to members. Members were asked to fill out a registration slip each time they went into a PFCU office during the promotion period. Names were randomly drawn at each of the credit union's six branch locations. "This was a great way to give back to our members and the communities we serve," said Linda Carroll, vice president of marketing. "Now, more than ever, is the time to thank our membership for their loyalty and support. Several of the winners 'paid it forward' and donated their dinner to families that were more in need of a good meal this time of year. It really humbles a person to see how extremely giving our members are."
The Jackson Chapter offered a Veteran's Day All-Staff Leadership Training session featuring "The King's X," a 1950s credit union movie. Click above to watch it. |
... "Learning more about the things you do each day can be fun," said Suzi Young educational chair for the Jackson Chapter. "I believe training should be worthwhile and entertaining." The newly formed Jackson Education Committee proved just that on Veteran's Day at the 2013 All-Staff Leadership Training Event. The committee created a full-day session that was informative and enjoyable. "Our goals were to offer good content, involve people, infuse laughter, prizes and silliness and combine it with quality presenters, and a touch of philosophy," Young said. The team, including Andrea Britten, Kristen Freund, Dianne Hitt, Heather Harback, Arlene Robinson, Heather Harris and Young, also wanted to show how "volunteering at the chapter level was easy and rewarding." Donations were necessary to keep costs low, provide quality speakers and give great prizes. Young mentored the team to turn the challenge into an opportunity. For some on the Education Committee, it was their first time involved in committee or credit union service, cold calling or fundraising. "People were incredibly supportive," Hitt said. "The attendees appreciated the quality door prizes, which we randomly awarded throughout the day." More than 125 credit union people participated including tellers, CEOs and chapter leaders. The group learned about credit union history in a short video. "The Kings X," a black-and-white movie from CUNA and CUNA Mutual Group from 1958 staring Hugh Beaumont, was well received. The classic footage supported a lively afternoon discussion on "thrift, character and the history of the cooperative movement," Harris said. "I enjoy learning about history," shared David Duron, a teller from Michigan Community CU. "Although I am fairly new to the CU world, I am (still) interested in our history," Duron said. "The old video made me realize we are experiencing these same ideals and financial hardships today, and seeing it with our members." Harris said that more than two-thirds of the group said they learned something new about CUs after watching film. In true cooperative spirit, the education committee donated the proceeds from the Veteran's Day event to the Jackson Chapter. "We hope the money can be used to conduct more educational sessions," Robinson said.
Card-Skimming Bill Testimony Steve Dedene, Credit Union ONE's compliance and regulatory affairs manager, testified on behalf of MCUL & Affiliates in front of the state House Criminal Justice Committee, left, regarding a package of five bills related to ATM card skimming last week. "Ensuring that members are protected against fraudulent activity such as skimming is a top priority for Credit Union ONE," said Dedene. "These bills provide those protections." Card skimming generates significant losses for affected credit unions. Skimming devices are readily available for sale, and take a minimal amount of time to install on ATMs, gas pumps, etc. Within a minute or two, criminals are able to install a card reading device and PIN-capturing device (generally in the form of a camera or PIN pad overlay) onto an ATM or gas pump, and begin collecting the personal information of unsuspecting consumers. Currently, there are conflicting penalty provisions in state law that need to be resolved and jurisdictional adjustments are needed to facilitate easier prosecution. Testifying with Dedene were Michelle Mattson from Genisys CU and Ashley Ligon from MCUL & Affiliates. More recently, the trio testified in front of the Senate Judiciary Committee, right. The bills are currently awaiting a vote on the Senate floor. |
… United FCU donated $2,500 to the Lakeshore Excellence Foundation for its Reach Higher Technology Campaign. The initiative, which has raised more than $143,000 to date, will equip 74 classrooms in the Lakeshore School District with much-needed new technology. Each class will receive a document camera, drop down screen, digital projector, and laptop for the teacher. Equipment, plus installation, costs $2,500 per room. With its donation, UFCU has been able to fully equip an entire classroom with technology upgrades. "Dire economic factors continue to impact our schools across the state, but there is a sense of urgency here in the Lakeshore district," LEF Chair JC Anderson said. Of the 610 school districts in Michigan, Lakeshore Public Schools receive dramatically less in state funding per student. "Ninety-two percent of the districts in Michigan receive more funding than we do," Anderson said. "Because funding is so limited, the LEF is a necessary resource to provide kids with the education they deserve." UFCU has been an ardent supporter of the foundation for several years. Annually, it participates in its Scramble for Students golf outing, another major fundraiser for LEF. "As a credit union, it's up to us to make sure our schools stay strong, innovative, and competitive," UFCU President/CEO Gary Easterling said. "LEF gives us the opportunity to make an impact while supporting greater learning for everyone."
… Honor CU was the presenting sponsor for Y-Country WYTZ 97.5 FM's Kids Christmas Carnival 2013 at the Lake Michigan College Mendel Center on Nov. 16. The credit union offered free tickets in advance. Honor had a booth at the carnival, featuring a snow cone machine and holiday-themed giveaways. The Honor Credit Union Entertainment Stage featured local children's choirs ringing in the holiday season with song. In addition to enjoying the numerous hands-on activities at exhibitor booths and enjoying a delicious snow cone from Honor's booth, all guests of the Kids Carnival were entered into a drawing to win tickets on the Zoo Lights Bus to Chicago's Lincoln Park Zoo in a contest sponsored by the radio station.

… As part of the heritage of its city, the Grand Rapids branch of Credit Union ONE recently participated in the 2013 Pulaski Days Parade. Pulaski Days has been celebrated in Grand Rapids for more than 40 years. Event coordinators said this year's festival had record attendance. Credit union staff volunteered their time and constructed a float for the parade. The Credit Union ONE float had a giant ATM spitting out money, while dancing debit cards ran alongside the float and handed out candy and goodie bags to onlookers. "Credit Union ONE enjoys participating in annual community events like the Pulaski Days Parade," said Sharon Blower, Credit Union ONE Grand Rapids branch manager. "Our staff really gets into putting together the float, and our members love seeing their credit union in the parade. Our thanks go out to one of our members, Summit Landscape for providing the truck, trailer and driver for our float; we couldn't have done it without them."
… Kellogg Community FCU employees donated 318 pounds of food to the Food Bank of South Central Michigan located in Battle Creek. The Food Bank of South Central Michigan's coverage area overlaps KCFCU's field of membership area, and includes Barry, Branch, Calhoun, Kalamazoo, and St. Joseph Counties. The donations were part of KCFCU's employee Team Enrichment Day. Wendy Ballast, chief human resource officer for KCFCU arranged the donation. "Our all-staff annual training event has been dedicated as a food collection day for the Food Bank for eight years now," Ballast said. "It's a great way for our staff to give back to the community and support a worthy organization. We feel strongly about helping our friends and neighbors in need, and this is one way we can lend a hand."
Wendy Slusarski, TLC youth financial education coordinator, helps students from student-run credit union at Clinton Elementary School in Clinton. |
… TLC Community CU student-run branches opened starting Nov. 4 in 15 county schools. The student branches accept and process deposits weekly. A total of 1,189 local students are active members of TLC and have set savings goals for the school year. TLC encourages the students to make wise spending choices and create a plan for their future. Students who participate find it is a great way to learn about financial responsibility and have fun at the same time. "As a new member to the (youth financial literacy) team, I am so excited to see the level of student enthusiasm towards their individual roles and the program as a whole," Wendy Slusarski, TLC youth financial education coordinator said. "I think the most enlightening observation I have made this first week is that when our last student member is served for the day and we have completed our balancing tasks, the student workers are actually saddened that their 'shift' has ended. It is not only the workers that are excited, the kids really enjoy making their credit union deposits. They want to know when TLC will be back again."
… Employees at Dow Chemical Employees' CU raised nearly $400 for United Way of Midland County through its most recent "Jeans Day" fundraiser and bake sale. For each of the one-day fundraisers, which occur throughout the year, participating DCECU employees donate a minimum of $5, which entitles them to wear blue jeans, tennis shoes and logo attire to work that day. In addition to the donations collected, staff members also organize internal bake sales to support their fundraising efforts. In addition to its charitable fundraising, the credit union also recently raised $365 in a separate Jeans Day fundraiser to support the MCUL Legislative Action Fund (MCULLAF), which provides opportunities for individuals to contribute to candidates for federal office who support the principles of the credit union industry. With the completion of these final 2013 Jeans Day fundraisers, DCECU staff members have raised $3,759 for charitable and community organizations for the year. Beyond the regular Jeans Day fundraisers, staff members recently organized the third annual "Pink Out" silent auction and bake sale, which raised nearly $1,700 for Midland Cancer Services. Staff members also have "adopted" the boulevard area in front of the credit union building and will do a fall cleanup of the area as a team service project. "Our employees work hard to serve not only our credit union members, but the entire community," DCECU President/CEO Dennis Hanson said. "I'm proud to be part of an organization and a team that takes time to look beyond ourselves to make a difference in the lives of others."
From left are MCCU Financial Education Coordinator Andrea Tucker and Hughes PCO Co-Presidents Holly Irish and Tiffany Hazen. |
… Marshall Community CU donated 2,000 popcorn bags to Hughes Elementary School by for the school's parent council organization Friday popcorn sales. "We appreciate the recent donation from MCCU," PCO Co-President, Holly Irish said. "Our popcorn Fridays are one of the PCO's largest fundraisers, so the bags were greatly appreciated and will be put to use immediately." MCCU operates a student-run credit union branch at Hughes, which is part of their CU In School program. "With so much that the schools do for us and for our CU In School program, it's the least we can do for them," MCCU Financial Education Coordinator Andrea Tucker said.
LAFCU recently celebrated its merger with Centel CU in Shiawassee County. |
… LAFCU, which merged with Centel CU in Shiawassee County earlier this year, celebrated the joining of the two credit unions with an open house at the Owosso branch. LAFCU offered refreshments and giveaways, and talked with elected officials and business leaders about how the credit union will be involved in the community. There was also a formal ribbon cutting with the Shiawassee Regional Chamber of Commerce Ambassadors. LAFCU's community involvement will include: a $2,500 scholarship in spring 2014 for high school seniors to attend Baker College; financial literacy programs for local school districts; Women Helping Educate Every Lady (WHEEL™) community college scholarship program, which helps women who want to enhance their education to enter or re-enter the workforce, and involvement in Rotary and local chambers of commerce. "We are very excited to have joined forces with LAFCU," said Angie Ruzinsky, assistant vice president of LAFCU's Owosso and Corunna locations. "Our members will now have access to a wider variety of services for their personal and business needs. "LAFCU is a strong organization with a great reputation. We're confident the synergy between our groups will benefit our members." Ruzinsky served as CEO of Centel. Centel's members voted in March to join LAFCU. The agreement was finalized in April. "Both credit unions share the goal of providing valuable financial products and extraordinary member service, and we both play active roles in improving the communities we serve," LAFCU CEO Robin Frucci said. "We welcome Centel members to the LAFCU family." The Shiawassee County expansion increases LAFCU's membership to more than 55,000 members and more than $563 million in assets.

Chances are the way you are cutting a cake is all wrong -- at least according to one math whiz.
A cake cut into wedges can ruin the sweet treat and create uneven slices, says Alex Bellos, an author of books about mathematics.
Video: How to cut a cake | Images: Is that food still good?
Bellos said the best way to cut a cake is to slice an entire strip from the middle of the cake, push the halves of the cake together and hold it together with an elastic band.

Well, I couldn't stand it.
I posted elsewhere that I just gave up and started sanding my door. Between 2006 and 2008, the door had probably 10 coats of Olympic dark brown something butt ugly stain on it. The thing is, at that point I didn't know I had to wipe it off. So, stain, wipe-on poly, again and again. Did I mention again? BTW. That Mixwax wipe-on poly that's supposed to give a hand rubbed finish? Huh? Still waiting. Anyway, I sanded the heck out of it. I couldn't get into some of the detail, and there's definitely little tiny bits in the deeper pores. However, it's gorgeous. I started my normal vacillating about what finish was what and what would last, blah blah blah. Finally, I just finished putting a coat of Australian Timber Oil on it. It is stunning. The grain is gorgeous, the bits of stain and a band around a raised panel detail look just fine. I'm calling it my reclaimed Mahogany door. After all. It was bound for the reuse center, since I couldn't strip it, I hated it as it was, and I had nothing to lose. Green, reclaimed, whatever. It's now a door I love. Just gotta do the sidelights. |
