The numbers behind the paywall: The Australian reveals digital subscription take-up14Mar12
by [me]
In October 2011 the executives at News Ltd announced that "the ten year free trial is over" and they were launching digital subscriptions for some of their publications beginning with The Australian.
Naturally, they were plenty of cynics prepared to predict the pay wall gambit would fail, and I certainly had my doubts. Its still only very early days and long term success is far from assured but News Ltd have just released their first round of figures for digital subscription. They appear to be very encouraging.
Here's the announcement:
A peek behind the News paywall18Oct11
"The ten year free trial is over" say the executives at News Ltd referring to plans to commence charging for digital subscriptions to The Australian.
The much anticipated move to paid digital subscriptions will take place in the next few weeks Richard Freudenstein, CEO of News Digital Media and The Australian, told a selection of bloggers last night.
Freudenstein was candid in his acknowledgement that this is a very necessary move for the organisation as the current model of free websites with display advertising is not enough to support quality journalism. When asked if this was a big risk they're were taking, the general consensus at News was that it was a bigger risk not to try subscription. The current model just didn't add up economically.
News will begin their subscription experiment with The Australian newspaper, the more "premium" of their daily news journals. Following the lead from The Times in England and the New York Times, The Australian will be serving up news content on a new website that leads to walled content. Headlines and the first two paragraphs will be viewable on the website but payment would be required to go further.
The key to success, News believe, will be the bundling of offerings. Pricing is anticipated to be:
- Digital pass of $2.95/wk accessible across multiple platforms.
- $4.50/wk for a digital pass & the Saturday Australian newspaper.
- $7.95/wk for a digital pass & 6 day a week Australian newspaper.
At this stage News do not expect that this will be something to lure new readers to The Australian, but will appeal to a percentage of existing subscribers who they hope to migrate to the digital products.
They cite the experience of the music industry that moved from a pirated free period back to a paid digital product as evidence that people will favour convenience and reliability over free in the long run.
News also draw on their experience in another subscription model, Pay TV, where Foxtel took year to grow and become profitable but is now the most profitable TV model in Australia.
One suspects that if this gambit is to succeed that bundling of all of the News products will come into play. Foxtel, news press and niche publications could all be bundled for a larger, but more cost effective combined spend. Tellingly, News acknowledge that they now consider The Australian a "media franchise" rather than merely a newspaper and they are exploring how it will be utilised on "bigger screens".
Of course there are plenty of cynics who believe that digital subscription will not succeed. One respected pundit I had breakfast with this morning scoffed at the plans to charge for The Australian online, adamant it would fail.
However News have done plenty of homework on this and feel they have no choice but to launch subscription models. They admit that they don't have all the answers and the experiment will continually evolve. They have deep pockets and seem prepared to patiently see the industry follow suit and join them on the other side of the paywall.
News Ltd has launched a new website to take the discussion further. Read more and have your say at Future of Journalism

Wikileaks: is this a significant moment in history?9Dec10
I can't help thinking that what is happening with Wikileaks and the strident opposition Julian Assange and his cohorts are enduring from governments around the world is a significant moment in history.
While the traditional press have been fretting about copyright and free distribution affecting their business models a much bigger threat has been bubbling up via the Wikileaks model.
It seems to me that Wikileaks is to journalism what Napster was to the music industry.
Sure, Napster was shutdown, but only after interrupting an entire industry and spawning many copycats, some of whom still exist today. The damage was done and the music industry will never be the same again. Out of the ashes rose legitimate business models for easily buying music online, such as iTunes.
Internet overtakes newspapers for US advertising revenue16Jun10
A PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) report issued yesterday in the USA claims that the internet is poised to overtake newspapers as the second largest U.S. advertising medium by revenue behind television.
This is a significant moment in advertising as traditional media have steadily been overtaken by the Internet in less than 20 years. How long until Internet advertising rolls past Television? And here in Australia, how long until the Internet becomes the number two advertising medium?
Here is the story in full from The Australian….
Is Apple about to save print media?18Jan10
A very familiar scenario could be about to play out.
A decade ago the music industry was reeling from the sudden loss of revenue thanks to the likes of Napster and other peer-to-peer networks. Free downloads were "robbing" music publishers of sales. They got aggressive, sued individuals for downloading and chased Napster into oblivion but the fact remained that the music industry hadn't kept up wit the changing digital landscape and didn't have a model for the 21st Century.
Then along came Apple with the iPod and the iTunes store. They made it easy, legal and affordable to download music and quickly struck deals with almost every music publisher. A new model was created. It wasn't necessarily as lucrative for the publishers but it kept them alive and in the game.
Hamish and Andy rule at Australian Commercial Radio Awards11Oct09
The Austereo duo of Hamish and Andy dominated the Australian Commercial Radio Awards in a ceremony which snubbed stablemate The Kyle & Jackie O Show despite it having previously had a strong presence on the shortlist.
The shortlist had been drawn up prior to the scandal of Kyle & Jackie O's notorious lie detector segment, while the final round of judging coincided with the furore.
Hamish & Andy won the top prize of best on air team along with best networked program, best station promotion, and best multimedia execution. The show's Sam Kavanagh won best show producer.
Meanwhile, 2GB's Ray Hadley won three awards.

Hey Harto, embrace this: A plan for online press6Jul09
Last week Australian News Ltd supremo John Hartigan stirred up every media blogger in the Southern Hemisphere with a speech to the National Press Club. Hartigan took a swipe at bloggers as well as new media sites like Mumbrella and Crikey.
He also toed the company line that we will all be happily paying for news online soon due to the quality of the journalism (which was no doubt aided by the typo in his own paper).
Naturally the blogosphere were up in arms and Mumbrella received a gazillion comments helpfully pointing out that Harto had missed the point and, as @NickHaC so eloquently put it, "you will miss us when we are gone has never been a compelling business model".
Anyway it occurred to me that this whole episode highlights both the shortcomings and potential solution to the online press predicament. Hartigan is seemingly trying to alienate the blogosphere yet generated substantial links and coverage online with his spray. Why not use the blogosphere (and Twitterverse) to your advantage?
Embrace the blogosphere!
Why Twitter will renew journalism24Jun09
Guest Report: by Renai LeMay of ZDNet.com.au news
This commentary is the modified text of a speech given to the Insight Exchange's Twitter's Impact on Media & Journalism event in June 2009.
In my daily professional life, I often feel as though I am a medieval knight who has been called into action to defend with sword and shield the honour of a great lady of noble birth.
That lady's name, of course, is Journalism.
Now, there is no doubt that she is currently beset on all sides.
Her bountiful wealth of gold and silver is speedily disappearing as digital mediums demolish her traditional revenue models. Her social media rivals for our attention grow ever more beautiful as time goes on. And of course her virtue is beset by public relations professionals, whose numbers are legion.
And yet, I take solace from the fact that she has chosen the right champion.
I am not one of the traditional defenders of journalism.
I am not a 60-something newspaper editor who cannot understand the internet. I am not the chief executive of a television studio who is suing YouTube for re-publishing his TV news clips. And I am not a media magnate with a sprawling publishing empire that needs to keep his share price up by talking up his print assets.

The press no longer control their destiny14Jun09
Rupert Murdoch, chairman of News Corporation recently declared "the days of free news online to be over."
NEWSFLASH for Mr Murdoch: the news press no longer control their destiny. The audience is now in charge.
There's been a lot of talk lately about newspaper publishers investigating new business models. Most of the talk has been the result of declining revenue for news press as classified advertising has migrated online.
Contrary to popular blogger opinion, newspapers aren't dying because people don't read newspapers anymore, or because we all get our news from the Internet. While there has been a small decline in subscriptions and sales of the printed newspaper, this isn't the killer. Its the evaporation of the "rivers of gold" that classifieds represented which has hit the industry hardest.
Subsequently, declining revenues have resulted in cost-cutting that is now affecting quality journalism. And that's a major concern.

While divestment was an appropriate and effective strategy in isolating South Africa's apartheid regime, questions have arisen as to whether this strategy can work as well in pressuring the government of Sudan to end the violence in Darfur. Some doubt the potential economic impact of divestment and maintain that greater emphasis should be given to political and diplomatic solutions.
Calvert supports the targeted divestment approach as a timely and essential complement to the diplomatic pressures being brought to bear on Sudan. We believe that the divestment campaign can be successful, as it focuses sharply on those companies whose presence in Sudan contributes revenues and capabilities that help the Khartoum regime fund the atrocities in Darfur. The discussion below addresses the reasons for targeted divestment; it is based in part on the Sudan Divestment Task Force (SDTF) March 2006 report, Arguments for the Efficacy of Targeted Divestment from Sudan1.
The Khartoum regime has been responsive to economic pressure.
According to the SDTF, Sudan's economy grew by 12 percent from 2005 to 2006. Much of this growth was a result of increased foreign direct investment in oil, energy, and other extractive sectors. However, the nation's per capita income was only $640 in 2005. A former Sudanese finance minister reports that instead of aiding the impoverished Sudanese people, the government spends over 70 percent of its oil profits on the military.2
But why not urge our government to use diplomacy in order to pressure Sudan? Of course that approach must be taken -- and it is. Political pressure and economic pressure are not mutually exclusive. The Khartoum regime has key international allies, including Russia, China, India, and Malaysia. Both Russia and China sell arms to Sudan and have considerable commercial investments in the country. Although diplomatic leverage is somewhat limited, the international community has nevertheless acted through the UN Security Council to approve deployment of a peacekeeping force -- even though the Sudanese government continues to block it.
However, because it relies heavily upon foreign direct investment, the Sudanese government has responded to economic pressure. When the Canadian oil company Talisman withdrew from Sudan in 2002 in the face of divestment pressure, other oil companies followed. Soon thereafter, the Khartoum regime entered into negotiations that finally ended the country's 21-year civil war. The home countries of companies that continue to do business with the Khartoum regime also experience the effects of divestment. Since some of these companies are state-owned, even Indian and Malaysian oil companies have been affected by the divestment movement, to the point where they have had difficulty acquiring capital that otherwise might be available.
In 2006, the Sudanese Embassy in the United States spoke out against divestment. A subsequent public relations campaign included a 6-page ad in the New York Times promoting Sudan as "a peaceful country" warranting business. These and similar activities indicate that the Sudanese government takes divestment very seriously.
Unfortunately, the Khartoum regime has failed to abide by the Darfur Peace Agreement and refused to allow UN troops into Darfur -- even as the violence and the humanitarian crisis intensify. For these reasons, it is essential not only to intensify diplomatic efforts, but also to bring pressure to bear on the Sudanese government through other means -- especially targeted divestment.
Targeted divestment does not penalize those who do need support.
Of course, companies make products beyond those that support warfare. Pharmaceuticals, food, and other products are desperately needed by Sudanese. Therefore, Calvert is engaging in targeted divestment, a process that first establishes which goods and services benefit the Sudanese people and which have the greatest impact on the government's behavior. Decisions to invest or divest follow. For example, companies associated with agriculture, consumer goods, and education are usually exempt under targeted divestment criteria, while oil companies that profit the government directly are most likely to be divestment candidates. As demonstrated by our work with Cummins (CMI), a company in which we invest, Calvert is careful to contact and verify involvement or lack thereof on the part of companies in our funds.
According to the SDTF, "divestment is still likely to disproportionately affect the government of Sudan since Khartoum allocates little government revenue towards social spending." Instead, most development programs are financed largely through international assistance. Therefore, targeted divestment is unlikely to harm those in need, as goods and services will continue flowing through and to the traditional sources that provide aid in Sudan. An example of a company that continues to conduct limited operations in Sudan but is not subject to targeted divestment is 3M (MMM), which sells its Scotchshield Safety and Security Window Film to help protect the vehicles of UN aid workers in Sudan.
Divestment and recent Darfur developments
In January 2005, the Khartoum regime signed the North-South Comprehensive Peace Agreement (CPA), which ended over 20 years of conflict between the country's Islamic northern region and the southern part of Sudan. However, this agreement did not include Darfur, and the SDTF points out that "implementation of the CPA will provide no economic benefit to Darfur's devastated population or infrastructure." There is also evidence that Khartoum is not living up to the CPA. US Government policy has eased most investment restrictions related to South Sudan, while maintaining a ban on oil investment in the entire country. Targeted divestment promotes strict criteria for oil companies throughout Sudan, but otherwise relaxes standards for most other kinds of investment in South Sudan.
Recently, on January 4, 2007, following dialogues with SDTF and a number of investors, the Swiss engineering firm ABB Ltd. suspended its operations in Sudan, with the exception of those consistent with the UN Global Compact. Prior to this action, ABB had been involved in the building of Sudan's Merowe Dam and had provided support to oil consortiums operating in the country. ABB's suspension of operations shows that the targeted divestment movement can influence companies to halt activities that support the goals of the Khartoum regime. Calvert hopes to see more of these successes.
As of December 31st, 2006, Cummins (CMI) represented 0.42% of Calvert Social Investment Fund (CSIF) Balanced Portfolio, 0.47% of CVS Calvert Social Balanced Portfolio, 0.99% of CSIF Enhanced Equity Portfolio, 0.07% of Calvert Social Index Fund, 0.26% of Calvert World Values International Equity Fund, and 0.33% of CVS Calvert Social International Equity Portfolio; 3M (MMM) represented 0.95% of CSIF Balanced Portfolio, 1.00% of CVS Calvert Social Balanced Portfolio, 1.35% of CSIF Enhanced Equity Portfolio, 0.69% of Calvert Social Index Fund, 0.90% of CSIF Equity Portfolio, and 0.94% of CVS Calvert Social Equity Portfolio.

Two men were hospitalized and seven were arrested last night after a fight in a UW fraternity house on 45th Avenue Northeast and Northeast 19th Street.
The Seattle Police Department (SPD) blotter said suspects forced their way into the side door of the Delta Upsilon fraternity house at about 9:30 p.m., armed with brass knuckles, pepper spray, and a fire extinguisher.
Once inside, the SPD said multiple fights broke out on different floors of the house. During the brawl, three residents of the house were cut by thrown bottles and three more were hit with pepper spray.
The leader of the suspects' group allegedly had a dispute with several fraternity residents, which may have led to the break-in.
When police arrived, they located seven suspects near the house. The seven were arrested and taken to King County Jail for investigation of burglary and aggravated assault.
Delta Upsilon declined The Daily's request to comment. The SPD is handling the investigation.

We need some help to identify this revolver it belonged to my great great grandfather and I do not know the caliber or what year it is we have been told it is thought to be between 1901 and 1919. any help is appreciated!! I am uploading the best pics I could get of the gun.

The numbers shown on the gun are F.R.P. No. 65 3819xx
I wish you well with your search. It's a handsome revolver.
Thank you very much!!
The pic is a little blurry and there is not much info there... What is at the top of the grips? Is it S&W? What are the barrel markings? Does it say "Smith and Wesson" or does it say ".38 (or .32) Smith and Wesson cartridge"? It looks like a Smith, but this was one of the most often and quite shamelessly copied firearms in history. More info and clearer picture needed.
In life, strive to take the high road....It offers a better field of fire. "Robo is right" Fuzzball
It appears to be a 3rd model double action revolver. Should be chambered for .38 S&W (not .38 S&W Special). It looks to be in remarkably good condition. There are a BUNCH of these floating around, but not many in that kind of condition. 95+% condition will significantly raise the value.
I have a S&W catalog, but I need more information to find it.
What type of info do you need CA357?
It looks like a turn of the century 1900 Smith & Wesson, but it if it is is should be plainly marked. Most of those small revolvers were either chambered in .32 or .38 Smith & Wesson (not 38 special). I have a couple of them in the safe, but I haven't looked at them in years. They are not worth a lot, mainly just a novelty because there are a lot of them out there. Yours appears to be in excellent condition.
Any rollmark information on there should help me locate it. (I hope)

What happened?
My father bought me a potted miniature rose yesterday. I know very little about roses, but brought it back to college with me. The drive was about 4 hours, and I don't believe the plant was really exposed to the cold (it was probably between 0 and 10F yesterday) during transport. I put the plant by my window and gave it a little bit of water (so now the soil feels just slightly moist). Now this morning the leaves and few blooms it had a drying up and I fear the plant might die. What could have caused this? Can I save my plant? The rest of the plant seems ok, just the leaves and blooms are drying up and look like they might fall off if this continues. I've been reading and it looks like I should repot my plant. Any help would be greatly appreciated, I want my plant to thrive.
Hello heather based on the information given it sounds like the plant wasn't very healthy when your father purchased it. unfortunately it is hard to stop a rose from a downward spiral don't be surprised if it dies. here are some tips that may help
1)place the plant in the sunniest window, south facing is best.
2)Never let the plant dry out of water (this is probably what happened to your rose)if there is a saucer on the bottom of the pot take it off. give the plant a good deep watering and try to remember how heavy the pot feels when you pick it up and don't re water until the pot feels light when you pick it up. the top of the soil should feel dry or slightly damp when touched.
3)don't re pot the plant it wont help. however if you are able to mist the plant with water once or twice a day it wont hurt. it sounds like you are in a cold part of the country. the air is to dry in the winter for roses that is the reason for misting. no fertilizer that wont help either
4)if you can keep the plant hanging on for the rest of the winter great. once the weather starts turning nice get it outside ASAP (when the trees start waking up) this is what will truely save this plant.
5) roses are actually amazing plants under the right conditions, mainly being outside. in a sunny spot in the yard with good watering they will bloom like crazy. so don't be discouraged if this plant does not make it (aside from the fact that your father gave it to you)
6) if you want to grow roses the best thing to do is go buy a book about roses and learn about them first. then buy QUALITY roses from the many venders that sell them across the country, not from a grocery store or walmart. trust me, it makes a difference.
Good luck bob
As bobby said there's no way of knowing what conditions the plant was in before your father got it so it may have been caused by something you had no control over. And even though you think the plant wasn't exposed to those very cold temps it is possible that it suffered some frost damage and is in shock. If that's the case just remove all the dead material and wait for it to put out new leaves. Give it as much sunlight as you possibly can and keep it moist but not drowning and give it a chance to recover. Do try and get it outside as soon as possible because roses hate to be indoors for any length of time. The conditions are just not right for them. Don't fertilize it until it has some new leaves on it and then use half strength until it is healthy again.

A swarm of Lennar opponents followed. Many of them read the same script they'd prepared for the community council meeting. Their pleas lasted for hours but the commissioners were unswayed. They asked few questions, and seemed to know where they were headed. In recent years the county commission and community councils alike have laid the groundwork for exactly this type of project by steadily shifting from agricultural zoning to commercial, residential, and mixed-use. While all the commissioners understood the issue at hand, and its emotional component, only Jimmy Morales said it aloud: "Sounds like today we're basically sounding the death knell for agriculture inside the Urban Development Boundary line." (Outside that line, along the western edge of the county, development is restricted to one residence per five acres.)
Around this time at the meeting, Katy Sorensen took a deep breath. Despite nearly a decade on the commission, she still looked innocent enough to be the lead in a high school play. Her appearance, though, belied the toughness she'd acquired during years of wrangling over growth issues -- almost always in opposition to sprawling new residential developments. But with Silver Palm, Sorensen had to face a new reality: Her commission district is in transition.
Research shows that Miami-Dade agriculture is under intense pressure. A recent University of Florida report (the Miami-Dade County Agricultural Land Retention Study) identified several complex problems: Cheap foreign imports have undercut the competitiveness of local farmers; the independence and diversity of farmers and growers has created a fragmented industry without cohesion or clout; and the influx of new residents continues unabated. "Population growth and concomitant urban development appear inevitable for Miami-Dade County," the UF researchers noted. "As the supply of developable land dwindles, prices will undoubtedly increase. These price increases ... will motivate landowners to convert agricultural land to higher-valued uses."
The UF study is borne out by the transaction between grower Manuel Diaz and Lennar. Last August, in a letter to the South Bay Community Council, Diaz offered this analysis: "I fiercely and successfully opposed development in our area for decades. I finally realized that population growth is inevitable. I could win battles, but in the end I lost the war."
Now the war had been brought to Sorenson. But Lennar's project proved to be an elusive enemy, and difficult to attack. It was sound. It fit with her staff's recommendations for the area: parks, green space, a school, walkability. "South Dade is the last frontier in Miami-Dade County for development," Sorenson began. "It's going to be developed. We can either do it well or we can do it in a haphazard way. While I have a lot of sympathy for people who live there and who are used to the rural lifestyle, it's just simply not going to continue forever. So for me, the best thing to do is to develop responsibly, develop it well, with an adequate infrastructure and facilities that we need. I think this project is really an excellent project. It has all the things we have been looking for as a commission."
She steadied herself and continued: "You have heard me many times not allow development or object to development in South Miami-Dade. But to me, this is the area that is next. Luckily we have some responsible developers and their representatives who are willing to make it a good part of the community.... To me, this is an example of good, well-thought-out development, so I move to approve the application."
The vote: eleven-to-one in favor of overturning the community council's decision and approving Silver Palm.
The lone dissenter was Jimmy Morales. The Harvard-educated commissioner, who is also running for county mayor, thought the Lennar proposal was excellent, but he worries that development is moving too fast, that infrastructure won't be able to keep pace with the rate of growth. "It's a nice project, but that doesn't mean it was the right thing at the right time," he says today. "There's a difference between pushing it along now and waiting until it made sense to do it."
Sorensen shares some of Morales's concerns about infrastructure, but she remains firm. "We wanted to have kind of the big-picture perspective," she says. "Not Kendall, not urban sprawl. We wanted thoughtful urban design, communities that would retain their value. We can't put up a stop sign and say nobody can come anymore. We don't have those kinds of laws."
Reaction among the neighbors living near the proposed development has been mixed. Kim Nottebaum and her husband seem resigned to the inescapable urban surge. "Let's face it," she says. "The county wants development. The more houses they sell, the more taxes they can collect. Why wouldn't they? They're not making any money off these farms.... If Lennar is going ahead to build a development, it might be okay. Chances are if we push them and win, a worse [developer] may come along. I hate to say we're beaten, but we're probably beaten on this one."

Global sales of devices such as PCs and smartphones are predicted to reach 2.4 billion units this year, a 4.2% increase from 2013.
"2014 will be marked by a relative revival of the global PC market," said Ranjit Atwal, research director at Gartner. After declining 9.5 per cent in 2013, the global PC market (desk-based, notebook and premium ultramobile) is on pace to contract only 2.9 per cent in 2014.
"Business upgrades from Windows XP and the general business replacement cycle will lessen the downward trend, especially in Western Europe," said Mr Atwal. "This year, we anticipate nearly 60 million professional PC replacements in mature markets."
However, the global tablet market is set to slow down its expansion because of a lower demand from users for tablets with smaller screens in mature markets. The shift towards phablets in emerging markets is also slowing global tablet penetration.
The report suggested that, as adoption goes through phases from the early to the late adopter, tablets are currently moving on the latter part of that curve in mature markets.
Annette Zimmermann, research director at Gartner, told CBR: "The biggest change we've seen is on the tablet side. Smartphones are continuing on the same trend, but on tablets we've taken down the growth in Europe and North America.
"The main reason here is that we're starting to see an install base that is now starting to settle. Most households which can afford a tablet have one now.
"In emerging markets we see continued growth. We didn't change the predictions in those markets that much. We took down the growth in South East Asia a little bit because that's the one region where we see some impact from phablets. The client base in SE Asia is more open to the phablet form factor, if you buy such a phone then it has impact on whether you still want to buy a 7 inch tablet."
Mobile phone sales are predicted to reach 1.9 billion units in 2014, seeing a 3.1% increase from last year. Gartner estimates that smartphone sales will represent 88 per cent of global mobile phone sales by 2018 - up from 66 per cent in 2014.
Android and iOS are still driving the growth in the mobile operating system market, with a 30% and 15% increase respectively.
Zimmermann said: "We expect the announcement of the new Apple iPhone 6 will attract pent-up demand for users who want a larger screen.
"Windows phones will exhibit strong growth from a low base in 2014, and are projected to reach a 10 per cent market share by 2018 -- up from 4 per cent in 2014."

The arrival of "my" 2011 Nissan Juke SL made me hesistate. The crazily-styled compact crossover that was to be my first assigned long-termer had a knack for making just about everyone that saw it stop, stare, and point -- often open-mouthed. To me, Tokyo's bizarre Harajuku district seemed more fitting for this funky 'ugly duckling' than the pothole-riddled streets of Hollywood. But I shrugged off those hesitations and gladly accepted a year-long seat in our funkiest long-termer in recent history.
I soon found out it's hard not to love the Juke. For an unmarried, relatively young writing machine like myself -- someone who lives with a single roommate, has no furniture, no kids, and no pets -- the Juke was all I really needed to get around happily.
When it came to carting friends, it had strengths and weaknesses. Small-statured riders easily fit in the rear, given its 32.1/48.4/51.4 inches of leg/hip/shoulder room; bigger fellas had to sit in the front, where they could take advantage of the 42.1 inches of legroom. Overall, three friends of any dimension fit just fine in the Juke (two in the rear seat, one up front). However, when four people tried to squeeze inside (one up front, three out back), things got hairy. When those bodies were combined with a steeply raked roof and some very tight rear door openings built for Japanese buyers, everyone instantly speed-dialed friends who owned bigger rides. Forget about hauling any luggage along with passengers, unless you're a Tetris champion or employ an aftermarket roof rack. For optimal cargo capacity, I told my friends to hitchhike, then folded the rear bench down for a respectable 35.9 cubic feet of space.
While fitting into the Juke proved tricky, fitting the Juke into places was easy. Armed with the SL grade's standard RearView camera (part of the 5-inch touch-screen nav) and tiny overhangs fore and aft, the Nissan simply slipped in and out of miniscule parking stalls and street spots. Driving it through dense and intense L.A. traffic further proved its controversial design's usefulness -- its smallish physical measurements meant it always felt comfortable in urban congestion. If I needed to make a right-hander on a red at a stoplight, I could squeeze by stopped traffic, no problem. Parking lot cruising couldn't have been any less stressful, thanks in large part to the Juke's unobstructed forward visibility and elevated driving position.
Funny, I find myself saying JUUUKE aloud each time I see one. Like a long-lost puppy, I miss my long-term Juke.
Zooming around slower traffic and, amazingly, through some of the region's best canyon roads never failed to be entertaining. The 188-horse, 1.6-liter heart and CVT needed loads of prodding and "manual" shifting, but even still, the Juke put a lot of so-called "sporty" compacts to shame when it came to oomph and sticky handling.
For such commendable athleticism and utility, I needed to service the Juke only every 7500 miles. By 22,500 miles, I racked up a $446.35 bill, not including regular wear-and-tear items like a new set of Bridgestone rubber ($719.86). Not bad. But the amount of fuel and cash needed to maintain the Juke's addictive entertainment value was pitiful. With Sport mode and torque-vectoring all-wheel drive engaged almost all the time, and a turbo whirling at full boost, refuel stops were made at least twice weekly (my commute is 24 miles one way). Of course, I occasionally switched the powertrain to front-drive mode and selected the ECO drive option, but where's the fun in that? At the end of 12 months, I averaged a combined real world 22.9 mpg, which wasn't horrible, but it wasn't stellar, nor was it on par with the EPA's 27 combined mpg rating.
Lackluster real-world mpgs aside, other gripes included a stiff ride, a useless digital accelerometer, and nonexistent front armrests. But that's about it. At the end of its 365-day stay, the Juke's positive attributes unequivocally outweighed any niggles I could muster and any complaints (with gasps!) its exterior evoked from people who hadn't had the chance to live with it.
To say this ugly duckling came in as an underdog and left a fan fave would be absolutely correct. Sure, in the end, it didn't physically change into something far more gorgeous. But it did change my mind.

Google no longer warning Chinese citizens about potential censorship
Posted By Enrique Manalang On January 7, 2013 @ 12:14 AM In World Wide Web | No Comments
When performing searches on Google's Hong Kong-based site, Google warns users about potential censorship by displaying a message. The message would usually tell the user that searching for that particular term may "temporarily break your connection to Google" and that "This interruption is outside Google's control," due to the results being blocked.
Google apparently had minor clashes with the Chinese government regarding these issues, and it looks like we now know who won those arguments as Google has confirmed that the warnings ceased to appear beginning last month.
From blocking VPNs [2] and requiring real name registration [3], China has been seemingly making every effort to control what users can and cannot see on the internet.

2005 HOF Finalists
L.C. Greenwood - Defensive End - 1969-1981 Pittsburgh Steelers go get em LC!! good luck!! What in the world, Michael Irvin for the HOF !! Im just not seeing this at all honestly. He may have been a very good WR in his day, but ??? |
Re: 2005 HOF Finalists
I'm hoping LC gets in, but I am very happy about Dan Marino because I remember his last game at Pitt and leaving early(not my fault I was a kid), missing his come from behind win. Years later... what a career Dan, and unlike many in the NFL now, you did it all like you were there before.8)
Re: 2005 HOF Finalists
Just to update this, Feb. 5 is final vote for canidates.
Re: 2005 HOF Finalists
They should just give it to donnie shell and lc greenwood and be done with..they were a part of the 70's dynasty, they contributed..just give it to em !!
Re: 2005 HOF Finalists
heard a good point the other day that if New England wins the Super Bowl and becomes a dynasty, who would eventually get inducted off their teams during that run? Who would be the Bradshaws/Swanns and who would be the Greenwoods? I say Belichick, Brady, Harrison in top then people like Law and Bruschi on outside.
Re: 2005 HOF Finalists
I still find it hard to call them a dynasty..yes 3 SB's in 4 years is something special, for sure...but a dynasty ? man, i just dont know...
Re: 2005 HOF Finalists
I know, it's almost painful to think of them as a dynasty isn't it? I mean, I acutally have a PHYSICAL reaction to it...still, they are kind of fitting the profile...(runs to the bathroom to hurl.. :bouncy: )
Re: 2005 HOF Finalists
Benny Friedman
Dan Marino Fritz Pollard Steve Young Congrats Dan, you deserve it. But Grimm and Greenwood not even in top 6 so they might not make it with upcoming eligibles in future years.(aikman, irvin, smith, etc.) |
Re: 2005 HOF Finalists
thank god Michael Irvin didnt make it on his first try !!! :blah: :blah:
Re: 2005 HOF Finalists
Wonder if it will make NFL Countdown shows a little testier with Young holding HOF over Irvin.

Alan Greenspan says the economic slowdown appears to be over. Treasury yields jumped higher as soon as the words were out of the Federal Reserve chairman's mouth, and long-term mortgage rates are likely to follow.
Greenspan's statement Thursday morning before a U.S. Senate committee marked a change in his opinion about the economy from last week. On Feb. 27, he spoke to the House of an "anticipated recovery" and said the business cycle appeared to be "prompting a firming in economic activity."
On Thursday, just eight days later, Greenspan told the Senate Banking Committee that the "recent evidence increasingly suggests that an economic expansion is already well under way."
An economic recovery implies inflation sometime in the future, and therefore higher interest rates. Traders, prompted by Greenspan's optimism, caused Treasury yields to shoot up abruptly. Fixed rates for 15-year and 30-year mortgages tend to move along with 10-year Treasury yields. So Greenspan's statement to the Senate was expected to indirectly cause a rise in mortgage rates.
Specifically, the yield on the 10-year Treasury note rose from 5.05 percent before Greenspan's speech to 5.17 percent an hour after the speech. That's roughly the same as a one-eighth of a percent increase in mortgage rates.
The rise in Treasury yields doesn't guarantee that every mortgage lender will raise rates immediately. But lenders pay attention to Treasury yields, making it likely that a lot of them would raise rates in response. About 2 1/2 hours after Greenspan started speaking, one prominent lender raised some of its 30-year fixed rates by one-eighth of a percentage point.
Greenspan's speech to the Senate was almost the same address he gave to the House last week, with a few small, but significant, changes. On Feb. 27 he said "a subdued recovery beginning soon would constitute a truly memorable performance" for the economy. Thursday, he took out the words, "beginning soon."
On Feb. 27 he said the economy "is close to a turning point," and on Thursday he said the economy "is moving through a turning point."
Greenspan became more optimistic after seeing the results of the economic reports of the last week. Auto sales, personal spending and initial jobless claims posted improved numbers. Most important was the manufacturing index compiled by the Institute for Supply Management, which showed the first sign of manufacturing expansion in 19 months. That's important because last year's recession was led by a long-term decline in manufacturing. Consumer spending wasn't affected nearly as much, which made it an unusual recession.
In both speeches, Greenspan declared optimism about the long-term health of the economy, but said that the recovery in the near term probably will be sluggish because consumers already have been spending a lot. Responding to a senator's question Thursday, he said consumer demand "never went down and so there's little room to move back up."
The Fed's Open Market Committee, which sets short-term rate policy, next meets March 19. Right now the overnight lending rate is 1.75 percent. Futures traders at the Chicago Board of Trade regard an interest-rate increase unlikely at that meeting. The real question is whether the Fed will change its bias to reflect a belief that the economic outlook is balanced. Currently, the committee says the risks are toward economic weakness.
The Chicago Board of Trade has priced in a 50-percent chance that the Fed will raise the overnight lending rate to 2 percent by the beginning of June, and traders believe the overnight will be 3 percent in December.
The Open Market Committee's next three meetings are March 19, May 7 and June 25-26."

Centicore: Death's parade
07/04/08 || Lord K Philipson
It's always nice to get a well composed letter when you receive a demo. It works to call us the "coolest site on the net" and so forth, you know. Simply becoz we know it's the truth, but we are always open to shit like that like David Hasselhoff's ass is open to cock.
Monikers are always a dilemma. Sometimes it tells a hella lot about the band in question and what kind of music they play, other times it just makes you go hmm… Centicore might have one that won't go down in history as one of the best names in metal, so their music better be heaps above it. And I won't complain too much about Centicore's brand of modern, year 2000 and forwards, metal. Obviously quite skilled musicians where the guitarists definitely stand out with their precise playing and neatly delivered solos. The material is missing something though as I'm obviously paying more attention to how they play their stuff instead of listening to actual songs.
Some of this sounds like shit Amon Amarth could have come up with, we are talking guitars here, only the complete deal sounds nothing like them, just so you won't get any idiotic ideas. If you wanna hear proof of what I mean, listen to the last, and best, track "Dead man wasted". You'll definitely get the guitar references if you have an IQ above an aquarium. You can also find traces of In Flames in the guitar department, which is not too fucken surprising. And yeah, if you really feel like it you can hear some Slipknot-ish influences in there as well, though Centicore's focus is on the more melodic side of the heroin spoon.
So, the bottomline is: Centicore's mixing a lot of the usual shit in their stew; modern metal riffing, clean vocals, screamy vocals, impressive leads, half-brutality, melodies and whatnot. You know, the recipe for today's metal bands. This accompanied by a good production makes this effort a decent one on all accounts without being overly impressive, brutal or genuine.
Centicore's yet another band among millions of bands doing their thing real fucken well. You heard it some 700.000 times before and let it stay on yer computer becoz it's sounding all fine, though it actually gives you nothing-to-little at all in the end. Either way, it stays in my collection. A fate not shared by alot of demos these days. Congratulations, that is an achievement.

I was browsing through MajorGeeks and I came across this. Simple user-friendly program that doesn't require much research, or manual tweeking. Be sure to read the faq because there will be an error the first time avira updates (and only the 1st time), and it might be falsely detected as a virus. It also supports the new Avira AntiVir 10.
I haven't actually used it yet, but from reviews from other sites, it seems reputable.
(This is for educational purposes only…I'm not encouraging you to use it…)

Ashraf said:
I read about this on gHacks. Sounds like an interesting program considering Avira seems to make their ads popup at the worst times.
That said, avast! doesn't have the same pop ups (at least I have not experienced them yet); food for thought .
At one time I used & liked Avira AntiVir, but it became bossy, not letting programs run even after I confirmed that I wanted them to, or after I had gone into settings & did it there too. Also, it ran when it felt like it & wouldn't close or respond to task manager. It was like a bully , or a stubborn child.
Getting rid of it, uninstalling, was a nightmare (esp before I had Revo) & it took many attempts to delete leftovers, & registry keys, & at times these items would refuse to be deleted–YOU DON'T HAVE PERMISSION, DUDE!!) In fact, years later, there is a grayed-out entry in the control panel, but to left-click on it gets: "application not found," (DUH), but the only 2 options when I right-click, are OPEN, which gets: "application not found," or "create shortcut," (ya, right, just what I need), hence, there is no DELETE!! So it is there, I guess, forever, (unless someone else has an idea).
*cough* MSE invades your privacy */cough*
It's true, I read it on other sites,
In fact, it comes with its own little dirty trick; a spyware that keeps track of what you download (I think) and install (yes it does). So say I'm a bad boy (LoL) and I download a keygen for REVO Uninstaller PRO ($40… is a rip off). Then I do this and that and voila, my pro version of REVO for free! MSE will then record where I got that keygen and see that it's a working keygen. It then sends an email to the developer (I think) and tells them to patch 'em up so that the keygens will no longer work!
So… I don't think it's a good idea to install that crap on your computer… I think there's a similar thing on Vista that does the same thing. Some review sites are telling peeps to turn off the "let Microsoft collect information about your computer (oh don't worry, we won't steal your privacy blah blah blah" thing.
I have the same grayed-out entry in control panel too, except it's from Java. I have a 64-bit system and I can only access the Java control panel from the 32-bit section in the control panel. Are you sure it was from Avira?
Unfortunately, the useless icon is still there and I'd appreciate any suggestions here too.
Avira…my faithful companion…I will tolerate your ads anyday…

Are you stuck working IN your business – bogged down in the details that keep you from profiting from your true gifts?
I help women entrepreneurs maximize the power of technology, so that they can transform from overworked entrepreneurs to successful six-figure business owners. I help my clients create a formula that fits their specific needs and personality so that they achieve the freedom and flexibility in their lifestyle that first inspired their business.
Some of the ways I can help you transform your business include:
- Streamline your business processes so they can run without you
- Harness the power of technology to work FOR you rather than confuse you
- Delegate the right tasks to the right vendors so you get the support you need
- Define a revenue path that leads prospects to profit and let it run automatically with the power of marketing automation
I see a common thread in business today – many entrepreneurs invest in coaching, training, books and lots of information overload. The information leads to big "to-do" lists and in today's world, much of the action plan ties marketing and business automation – things such as email marketing, auto-responders, websites, document storage, social media, mobile phone apps, and on and on.
All the information is enough to make your brain hurt if you are not a techie type!
Here's the secret…technology is great – BUT you likely don't need it all and you don't have someone handy to help you sort out fact from fiction, time-wasters from time-savers and money-suckers from money-savers. Most of all, you don't know how to wrap these great tools into your business strategy so it all flows together.
That's what I do. I help entrepreneurs make sense of today's technology madness.
Every client I work with is at a different place in their journey, but the common theme is that when we start the conversation, they are overloaded with great ideas and/or information that isn't translating into profit and flexibility.
