Real Madrid midfielder Xabi Alonso said his side will stick by defender Pepe in his war of words with Sergio Busquets.
The Barcelona midfielder appeared to stamp on Pepe's head during Real's 4-3 loss to their La Liga rivals on March 23.
Busquets denied the claim despite replays showing otherwise, and Alonso said Real would stand by Pepe.
"Pepe has expressed how he feels and we are with him 100 per cent," Alonso told reporters.
"People would have talked about it a lot if it were the other way around. He is a key player for us."
Alonso was asked whether he would prefer for Real to win La Liga or the UEFA Champions League this season.
The former Liverpool man said his team needed to aim to win both.
Real sit three points behind league leaders Atletico Madrid with seven matches remaining and look set for a semi-final place in the Champions League after thrashing Borussia Dortmund 3-0 in their first leg.
"Both are very difficult to win, it's not easy to choose. The Champions League has a special glamour to it and it is a long time since we last won it," Alonso said.
"It's not a question of choosing, we need to fight for both.
"In the league we are doing better compared to last year, it's not a question of comparing though.
"We have six very important weeks of the season remaining with decisive matches. It's coming up to crunch time."

Semiconductor revenue worldwide will see improved growth this year of 6.9% and reaching $320 billion according to the mid-year 2013 update of the Semiconductor Applications Forecaster (SAF) from International Data Corporation (IDC). The SAF also forecasts that semiconductor revenues will grow 2.9% year over year in 2014 to $329 billion and log a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.2% from 2012-2017, reaching $366 billion in 2017.
Continued global macroeconomic uncertainty from a slowdown in China, eurozone debt crisis and recession, Japan recession, and the U.S. sequester's impact on corporate IT spending are factors that could affect global semiconductor demand this year. Mobile phones and tablets will drive a significant portion of the growth in the semiconductor market this year. The industry continued to see weakness in PC demand, but strong memory growth and higher average selling prices (ASPs) in DRAM and NAND will have a positive impact on the semiconductor market. For the first half of 2013, IDC believes semiconductor inventories decreased and have come into balance with demand, with growth to resume in the second half of the year.
"Semiconductors for smartphones will see healthy revenue growth as demand for increased speeds and additional features continue to drive high-end smartphone demand in developed countries and low-cost smartphones in developing countries. Lower cost smartphones in developing countries will make up an increasing portion of the mix and moderate future mobile wireless communication semiconductor growth. PC semiconductor demand will remain weak for 2013 as the market continues to be affected by the worldwide macroeconomic environment and the encroachment of tablets," said Nina Turner, Research Manager for semiconductors at IDC.
According to Abhi Dugar, research manager for semiconductors, embedded system solutions, and associated software in the cloud, mobile, and security infrastructure markets, "Communications infrastructure across enterprise, data centers, and service provider networks will experience a significant upgrade over the next five years to support the enormous growth in the amount of data and information that must be managed more efficiently, intelligently, and securely. This growth is being driven by continued adoption of rich media capable mobile devices, movement of increasingly virtualized server workloads within and between datacenters, and the emergence of new networking paradigms such as software defined networking (SDN) to support the new requirements."
Regionally, Japan will be the weakest region for 2013, but IDC forecasts an improvement over the contraction in 2012. Growth rates in all regions will improve for 2013 over 2012, as demand for smartphones and tablets remain strong and automotive electronics and semiconductors for the industrial market segment improve in 2013.
Other key findings from IDC's Semiconductor Application Forecaster include:
- Semiconductor revenue for the computing industry segment will log year-over-year growth of 2.0% for 2013 and will show a slow CAGR of only 0.9% for the 2012-2017 forecast period. Semiconductor revenue from mobile PC demand will register year-over-year growth of -0.6% in 2013, only returning to positive growth in 2015.
- Semiconductor revenue for the mobile wireless communications segment will grow 10.3% year over year in 2013 with a CAGR of 5.2% for 2012-2017. Semiconductor revenue for 4G phones will experience an annual growth rate of 121.8% in 2013 and a CAGR of 37.9% for 2012-2017.
- Media tablets, e-Readers, blu-ray DVD players, and set-top boxes will continue to drive above average semiconductor revenue growth. Sales of CRT and rear projection TVs, HD receivers, digital video and still cameras, and DVD recorders and players will continue to erode. Overall, semiconductor revenue for the consumer segment will record year-over-year growth of 15.0% in 2013 and a 2012-2017 CAGR of 7.5%.
- The 4.3% year-over-year growth in 2013 in wired communications infrastructure semiconductors will be driven primarily by enterprise switches and routers, security appliances, and service provider switches and routers. Optical transport equipment, TDM and VoIP IMS, service provider head-end access equipment, and consumer network will also grow in 2013 over 2012, but to a lesser extent.
- Driven by the increase in semiconductor content in automobiles (i.e. applications such as in-vehicle infotainment, automobile body electronics, and driver safety systems), semiconductor revenue for the automotive segment is expected to grow 5.3% in 2013.
- Regionally, Asia/Pacific will experience year-over-year growth of 6.9% in 2013 and a CAGR of 4.9% for 2012-2017.
The IDC report, Worldwide IDC Semiconductor Market Forecast, 2012–2017: Midyear Update (IDC #242375), contains additional detail about the worldwide semiconductor market forecast, forecast by industry and device type, top 10 device applications by revenue for 2013, and top 5 device applications by 2013 year-over-year growth.
IDC's Worldwide Semiconductor Applications Forecaster database serves as the basis for all IDC semiconductor supply-side documents, including market forecasts and consulting projects. This database contains revenue data collected from over 100 of the top semiconductor companies for 2007-2012 and market history and forecasts for 2009-2017. Revenue for over twelve semiconductor device areas, four geographic regions, seven industries, and more than 65 end-device applications are also included in the database.

Hopefully she's able to find a nice home once she recovers. Quite amazing she survived as long as she did in there considering that car would be like a sauna during the day with the sun beating down on it.

Absolutely amazing that it lived! 3 weeks without water??? and only mcdonalds leftovers to eat??? in a locked car with windows down... un-freaking-believable.
said the employee was tagging cars for auction when Kia jumped on top of the dashboard of the Chevy Suburban in which she was trapped.
Jumped... jumped!!! after 3 weeks with no water and food. This dog is an amazing surviver! I hope it recovers fully, and lives an amazing life. Because I doubt anything else it does will require more effort.

Jennifer Lawrence is the world's most desirable woman, according to an international poll released by the website AskMen.
The Hunger Games star rose to the top of the list from No. 47 last year on the heels of the box-office smash while buffing her credibility as a quirky, sex-mad young widow in the independent film Silver Linings Playbook, AskMen editor in chief James Bassil said.
"Overall, there's a sense that she's a little more authentic than other actors," Bassil said, adding that the public still knows too little about the 22-year-old actress to form a negative opinion.
"She's fresh because we haven't seen her all over the gossip pages for the past three or four years," Bassil said.
Lawrence bumped last year's winner, Sofia Vergara of Modern Family fame, down to No. 12, while reality star Kim Kardashian plummeted to No. 98.
The poll surveyed 2.4 million readers asking them to vote on which celebrity they would choose as a prospective partner, according to the website, which is a unit of News Corp. The top 99 are then compiled into the annual poll.
Rounding out the top five were actress Mila Kunis, model Kate Upton, R&B star Rihanna and Crazy, Stupid, Love actress Emma Stone.
Bassil said that lots of publicity often correlates to higher desirability ranking from men, but too many headlines can leave men looking elsewhere.
The most notable drop was socialite Kardashian, who fell 90 places from last year's No. 8 ranking.
"Kim Kardashian is petering off and basically dropping off the list at this point even as she's become more visible," Bassil said.
Youth also appears to have taken a backseat in men's tastes as this year's rankings feature a handful of women over 40.
"We've seen that increasingly over the past two or three years," Bassil said. "Like most things in life, attractiveness is extending into middle age ... Who knows? In 20 years we could see 60-year-olds on the list."
Those over the age of 40 on the list include U.S. First Lady Michelle Obama, 48; comedienne Sarah Silverman, 42; actress Lucy Liu, 44; and British actress Rachel Weisz, 42.
New Yahoo! President and Chief Executive Marissa Mayer was the only business executive to make list at No. 59.

Troy Dumais could've called it a career. Came close, really close, to doing just that, even as the London Olympics were approaching. He went to his parents for advice. They made it clear they would support whatever he wanted to do, but asked him to consider one thing: Would he regret walking away from the sport he had competed in most of his life? ''Even when times were tough, I decided, 'Yeah, I would regret it,''' Dumais said. ''That's why I kept going.'' Good thing. On Wednesday, Dumais finally made it to the one spot he's been chasing his whole diving career: the medal stand at the Olympics. The 32-year-old Californian teamed with teenager Kristian Ipsen to give the United States its third straight medal on the boards. It was quite an accomplishment for a team that hadn't won any medals since the 2000 Sydney Games, and even more so for Dumais. He was just the second man to make four U.S. Olympic diving teams, but unlike the first - four-time gold medalist Greg Louganis - th...

Winnipeg Free Press - ONLINE EDITION
Aeros outlast Moose in OT
Hrkac goal extends series to Game 6
HOUSTON -- Virus or vampires, these Houston Aeros are hard to kill.
The Aeros have faced elimination four times in the AHL playoffs and are a perfect 4-0 under the gun.
Even after coughing up a two-goal lead in the last 21 seconds of regulation time Friday night at Toyota Center, the Aeros rebounded in the second overtime period to steal a 4-3 victory from the Manitoba Moose to tighten up their best-of-seven Western Conference final.
The Moose, after winning the first three games, are now ahead 3-2. Now it's back to Winnipeg where Manitoba will be forced to implement its earned home-ice advantage to try to win the series. Game 6 is Monday night at the MTS Centre.
Veteran Tony Hrkac, given just a little extra room near the Moose goal, scored at 4:19 of the second overtime to save the Aeros, who were in command of this game after scoring two goals in the first five minutes.
"I look at how presidents age," coach Kevin Constantine said. "I started the playoffs at 50 and I feel like I'm 73 years old already."
For the longest time Friday, the Moose looked like they were wasting another chance to advance to the Calder Cup final.
But they caught fire in the third, getting an early goal from Michael Grabner and then markers from Jason Krog with 20.6 seconds left and Mark Cullen with 2.0 seconds left and looked primed to avoid their first back-to-back playoff losses.
"Whenever we get pushed up against a wall in the past, we've come through," Krog said about the late goals, both with goalie Curtis Sanford lifted for an extra attacker. "We played some of our best hockey desperate, with late goals and overtime wins.
"It was a great feeling to tie it up. We had our chances after that but it didn't work out."
Krog said the Moose will remain confident returning to Winnipeg for Game 6.
"I don't think this is the time to get down on ourselves," he said.
"We obviously had them on the ropes again and give them credit again, they didn't quit. We took it to them at the end and tied it up but they still had jump in overtime. The chances went back and forth and they buried first."
"We gave them some life but we're happy we're going home and we've been pretty solid back there and our crowd will be there and we'll be excited about that."
Moose coach Scott Arniel was clearly upset about the overtime loss, lashing out with an expletive at the Free Press before a single word or question was put to him the post-game scrum.
Sanford,whoreplacedCorySchneider to start the third period after Schneider had given up three goals, said there was no fancy game plan to give his team a chance to put the Aeros away.
"No, I just went in there and tried to relax as much as I could," said Sanford, who hasn't seen any action in more than a month.
"It's been a while since I played. You want to go out and win so you do what comes naturally and hope for the best results.
"We had a couple of good chances and there were pucks laying around that we just couldn't get to in time. That's the way the momentum swings in overtime."
Didn't see shot
Sanford had 22 saves but said he didn't see Hrkac's shot.
"I didn't see it come off it his stick," he said. "I was just guessing that he was shooting. I don't know if it hit our defenceman or not. That's overtime."
Manitoba had 17 shots and most of the best chances in the first overtime but couldn't put it past goalie Matt Climie, who was Houston's third goalie in this series.
And besides their better play as Friday's game progressed, the Moose can also be bouyed by the fact they went two for two on their power play.
They went more than four full periods in Games 4 and 5 without a single opportunity from referee Frederic L'Ecuyer.

PestPac Mobile 2.0 is the company's newest mobile offering.
WALL TOWNSHIP, N.J. — Marathon Data Systems recently introduced another option to their suite of mobile offerings, PestPac Mobile 2.0. With PestPac Mobile 2.0, clients now have a lightweight, easy to use, smart way to perform in the field.
Marathon was one of the first in the industry to introduce a Windows 6.5 mobile application — the original PestPac Mobile. Although many users will continue to take advantage of the original version because it is robust and available on a ruggedized device, there is a large group of users that prefer a BYOD (bring your own device) option because of the added ease of use and reduced up-front cost. Both mobile versions have similar basic functionality for technicians in the field. For example, both mobile versions allow users to access customer contact information, record and accept credit card payments securely in the field, record signatures, print detailed reports in the field, and auto-emails invoices. These mobile solutions ultimately reduce administrative time, costs and give the technicians more time to perform in the field. Most importantly, both can be used when a connection is available as well as when it isn't.
Chris Sullens, CEO of Marathon Data Systems states, "Given the size and growth of the smartphone category, we knew we needed to add a smartphone application to our portfolio, but we wanted to make sure that when we did it, we did it right. Our new application offers core field service functionality in a package that is more intuitive, offers a minimal up-front investment, works in both online and offline situations and features real-time data sync. With a dedicated team focused on evolving this application, our customers will see rapid, dramatic advances in functionality, usability and overall performance in the coming months." He adds, "Our customers now have the best of both worlds, an intuitive smartphone app for basic service visits and a robust, ruggedized solution for advanced commercial service situations."
PestPac Mobile 2.0 accomplishes increased data accuracy due to its live data synchronization (over a cellular or WiFi connection) to its office software, PestPac. Also, it incorporates new intuitive, easy-to-use 'wizards', such as the material entry wizard. PestPac Mobile 2.0 ultimately reduces hardware expenses and makes it a painless transition to a smartphone that the tech already knows how to use.

You will look forward to coming back every year to this magnificent island to enjoy all that there is to do at this tropical paradise.
I am very happy to introduce myself. My name is Nicole Bauer and am originally from Indianapolis Indiana. The first time that I came down to Marco Island was almost 2 years ago and I immediately fell in love with the Island. I loved it so much I decided to purchase a couple condos for investment and rental opportunity. Both my condos I have completely renovated and updated them to my standards which I would have to say is very nice. I have been blessed in meeting an amazing interior designer that was able to pull off the costal living that I wanted in my condos. My clients have been very pleased with my properties and I already have had repeats. I recently became a licensed realtor in Florida secondary to the fact that I love the life style Florida enables us to acquire and I want to share the opportunity with others. Since I have 4 children ranging from ages 3 to 17 I decided that it would be nice to invest in a home with the perfect location for access to the beach which lead me to the purchase of this home. This home appealed to me because there was only one previous owner and well maintained. Plus location, location, location!! I gave my interior designer and contractor a call to update my home so all my clients would love it as much as I would. Actually I love all my properties and take great pride in them and do hope you will enjoy them to.
Nicole purchased this condo in 2012
I love Marco Island because of the climate. Even when it's blazing hot you still have that amazing gulf breeze when you're by the Ocean. Marco has so many things to offer such as parasailing, fishing, Jet Ski tours, kayaking, sailing and everglades excursions. It is very common to see dolphins not too far off shore line along with other neat little sea creatures. I cannot forget to mention the beautiful white sandy beaches and Marco is one of only seven crescent beaches in the world.
There are so many reasons why I fell in love with Marco. There are so many amazing restaurants that I would be happy to recommend for you and there is something here to satisfy everyone's pallet. Another great benefit of vacationing in Marco is that you have the benefits of being close to a larger city without the daily hassle of traffic. Old Naples is only a 30 minute drive from Marco were you can shop, eat and sing karaoke in one stop. Waterside shops are about 35 minute drive if you're interested in some of those real nice high end stores. When you're done you can come back to your retreat and enjoy the serenity of Marco.
This property's location enables you to enjoy the benefits of the Marriott but with more privacy and a lot more room. When you walk into my condo you will notice all the little touches that really make a difference in its overall appearance. My goal is to entice you to want to come back to Marco year after year to make wonderful memories and enjoy all Marco has to offer.
This condo is nice and cozy for a beach vacation. My young child and I stayed and it was nice to be able to walk right out onto the beach. The owner also had plenty of beach towels, beach chairs, beach toys, and a cooler for us to use. She was even gracious enough to come over and give us lots of recommendations on fun things to do in the area. This is a great place to stay if you want to save money and not stay at a resort. It was very convenient to bring in our own groceries and eat at the condo.
We enjoyed our stay at the Apollo and the Condo staff were very helpful, courteous and friendly. The apartment owner was very accommodating. The apartment was well stocked, and everything that we needed was included right down to beach umbrella and chairs. The view of the beach and the sunsets from the deck was amazing! This was the best time of year to go to Marco Island. Just off season but still with Great weather! The restaurants in Marco Island were authentic and the food was above average. Marco doesn't have a great deal of shopping . Also a lot of the local character shops were closed for the off season. Probably the only disadvantage to going in the off season. However, Naples is only a short 20 minute drive away with plenty of shopping. The apartment was slightly worn down from the busy rental season. There were a few issues like broken cupboard doors and window blinds but the owner was aware of it and on top of the problems. She had already scheduled the repairs before we could report them. So we were very happy with our stay. Thank You Nicole! And Thank You Marco Island! We plan to return again!
When we checked in the lady at the front dest told us we had on of the nicest units in the building. The unit is better than expected. It is beautifully decorated. The unit has new cabinets, stove and refrigerator. The rest of the furniture looks new also. The paintings add a great Flordia look to the unit. The patio has table and chairs as well as two lounge chairs. The sofa also pulls out to make a bed if you were to have company. More than enough room.
There is a heated pool and it is only a short walk to the beach.
The only problem was the slidding screen doors and they were fixed immediately. We are here for a month and loving it.
There is a great restaurant connected to Apollo that overlooks the beach. The restaurant has great food and serves large portions.
We come to Marco every year and we like this unit as well as any we have stayed in.
The condo is right on beach, the views are fantastic. The condo is 1bdrm 1 bath & everything worked great. The internet was out & their were 4 of us. My wife, 2 children, 10 & 13 & myself. The kids would have lost their minds without the internet as we had rain 3 or 4 days but Nicole( the owner) had internet fixed the same day. The kids were ok with sleeping on pull out couch. Marco Island is great.

OK, I'm a believer.
I might be premature in this pronouncement, but Colin Kaepernick is the next evolutionary step in quarterbacks.
From Sammy Baugh to Johnny U. to Peyton Manning to Kaepernick (OK, I could be skipping a few steps).
Even if he crashes and burns in Sunday's Super Bowl, we've seen the future, and it's a linebacker-sized, tattoo-and-cannon-armed sprinter who talks trash, runs like a quarter-miler, throws like Bert Jones and could probably play most positions on the field. In other words, he's a real football player, which has hardly been the case for generations of quarterbacks.
Maybe you didn't like the way Jim Harbaugh, the 49ers' cocky head coach, put Kaepernick in the lineup, benching Alex Smith when he deserved better. But no one can argue with the kid's game.
He's Dan Marino, with legs – he'd leave Cam Newton and Tim Tebow in his dust with his 4.4 speed.
He's Michael Vick, with a brain – he can read defenses and throw from the pocket and doesn't suffer from the dreaded run-first, happy-feet syndrome.
He's what Newton could be.
He's what Vick could have been.
He's what Tim Tebow was supposed to be.
He's what Russell Wilson is close to being.
He's what Robert Griffin III will be if he returns from injury.
He's Steve Young, with size – 6-foot-41/2, 230 pounds – and a howitzer arm.
At the 2011 NFL combine, it was reported that Kaepernick had the strongest arm among the 16 quarterbacks present, with throws registering 59 miles per hour. He can throw a baseball 95 miles per hour, which is why he was drafted by the Chicago Cubs. One former receiver claims Kaepernick's throws tore his gloves. Randy Moss claims his passes knocked a finger out of joint. Tight end Vernon Davis asked him to take something off his throws.
Kaepernick can stand in the pocket and deliver passes. He can run the read option. He can scramble and find receivers on the run. He can run over defenders. He can throw underneath. He can throw over the top. He can go through his progressions. He can see the field. He can run and pass equally well, but doesn't play with the run-first mentality that retarded Vick's development.
In 10 regular season games he rushed for 415 yards and passed for 1,814 yards. In one of the best performances ever delivered by a quarterback, he ran for 181 yards and passed for 263 against the Packers in the playoffs.
It would be understatement to note that the NFL's conservative notions of a quarterback are changing rapidly. For decades, the quarterback was one of the least athletic players on the field (Bart Starr, Johnny Unitas, Joe Namath, or, more recently, Brady, the Manning brothers, Phillip Rivers). They handed off the ball or stood in the pocket and passed, and that was it. They were statues, with arms. Now, a new generation of young, athletic quarterbacks has emerged – Kaepernick, Newton, Tebow, Griffin, Wilson, Aaron Rodgers, Andrew Luck – who can run or pass. Many of them are utilized like an extra running back on designed running plays, something no coach would have done only a decade or so ago.
So much for the theory that the spread offense and the read option can't succeed in the NFL. It was believed that NFL defenses were too fast and athletic for the college style of play and that it would expose quarterbacks to injury.
The spread offense has spread to the NFL game, clearing the way for the evolvement of the quarterback and the likes of Kaepernick, Wilson, Newton, Griffin and, at least for a season, Tebow. The advantage is obvious. Defenses must account for the running threat of the quarterback. On pass plays they can't drop as many defenders into coverage. On running plays, the offense has a numerical advantage in the box because the defense can no longer ignore the quarterback (and, too, the offense doesn't block the end on option plays – they "read" him – freeing an extra blocker). When Kaepernick saw the Packers' defensive end come flat down the line of scrimmage, he pulled the ball from the running back and ran around the end 56 yards for a touchdown.
Then again, it does have the anticipated hazard of exposing the quarterback to injury. Griffin suffered a serious knee injury, and Vick has suffered from the hits he has taken as a runner and a passer.
With his size and speed, Kaepernick seems almost invulnerable. On Sunday, the future of the game will be on full display.

Solar cell could be cheaper than fossil fuel
"Ten years ago, NREL scientist Arthur J Nozik predicted that MEG would be more efficient in semiconductor quantum dots – tiny crystals of semiconductor – than in bulk semiconductors.
Quantum dots, by confining charge carriers within their tiny volumes, can harvest excess energy that otherwise would be lost as heat – and therefore greatly increase the efficiency of converting photons into usable free energy.
The researchers hit the 114 percent external quantum efficiency with a layered cell consisting of antireflection-coated glass with a thin layer of a transparent conductor, a nanostructured zinc oxide layer, a quantum dot layer of lead selenide treated with ethanedithol and hydrazine, and a thin layer of gold for the top electrode.
They claim the fabrication of quantum dot solar cells lends itself to inexpensive, high-throughput roll-to-roll manufacturing."
Solar cell could be cheaper than fossil fuel | TG Daily
Quantum Computing With Holograms
"Light is one of the most promising carriers of quantum information. It is robust against decoherence because it does not interact with stray electric and magnetic fields and passes unscathed through transparent matter.
But this prized robustness is also a serious limitation. Photons do not easily interact with each other so processing the information they carry is tricky.
In recent years, however, physicists have worked out how to make photons interact using interferometers and to carry out quantum computations using the output of one interferometer as the input for another.
The trouble is that interferometers are notoriously fickle. Sneeze and they need re-calibrating. So cascades of them tend to be hard to handle.
Today, Jonathan McDonald at the Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome New York, and a few pals reveal a way round this problem.
Their idea is to make holograms of interferometers so that their properties become 'frozen' in glass. This makes them much more stable. "

High-fat diet leaves its mark on sperm
"OBESE male mice tend to sire unhealthy offspring. And it seems diet is to blame, causing tiny changes in sperm that may lead to metabolic disorders in mouse pups. The discovery brings us closer to understanding how lifestyle choices affect the health of future generations.
The effects of diet and smoking become imprinted onto DNA via chemical modifications that regulate gene activity and protein production within a cell."

Baltimore restaurants, hotels embrace Grand Prix
- Gary Haber, Staff
In the days leading up to Baltimore's inaugural IndyCar race, Judi DiGioia was, frankly, a little worried, about whether the thousands of racing fans descending on downtown Baltimore would fill the tables at Morton's steak house, where she is sales and marketing manager.
DiGioia isn't stressing anymore.
Since noon Friday, the restaurant along the 2.1-mile race course has been busy booking last-minute reservations as race fans arrive in Baltimore and start checking out the available restaurants. About 90 diners have made reservations for Friday night and the list for Saturday night is above 300, which has DiGioia smiling.
"All of a sudden, the adrenaline started to pop," she said. "We've been taking reservations all day for tonight and tomorrow."

Business has also been busy at Kona Grill on Pratt Street. The restaurant's patio and bar have been full since it opened Friday and Kona has brought in employees from its restaurants in New Jersey and Virginia, as well as its Scottsdale, Ariz., headquarters to help with the rush, said Mark Underwood, the eatery's general manager.
"We're definitely beating sales for a Friday," Underwood said. The restaurant has taken about 100 reservations for Friday night and another 100 for Saturday night. Kona Grill also extended its hours, keeping the bar open an extra hour on Friday and Saturday, until 2 a.m. and opening an hour earlier, at 10 a.m. on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
At the Hilton Baltimore, occupancy for Saturday night was already in the mid 90s by Friday afternoon. That number will increase as race fans without reservations come to the hotel looking to book rooms at the last minute, said Linda Westgate, the hotel's general manager. For Friday night, reservations are running in the high 80s, significantly higher than the usual Labor Day weekend.
"We're doing better than a typical Labor Day weekend for sure," Westgate said.
Downtown hotels will see a 45 percent spike in revenue this weekend, compared with last year, said Visit Baltimore CEO Tom Noonan.
"This takes maybe my worst weekend of the year and makes it my best," Noonan said.
Hotel operators and restaurant owners are hoping out-of-town race fans like Jim and Suzy Irwin, of Suffield, Conn., will make this weekend a success.
The Irwins booked four nights at the Hilton, through Sunday. Jim Irwin figures that between meals and lodging, the couple will spend about $1,000 while they are here. It's been about 15 years since Irwin, who used to live in Washington, D.C., has been to Charm City. He and his wife plan to check out the city's restaurants while they are here.
"If we can get out to Fells Point and get some crab cakes, we're going to do it," he said.
Jerry Cline, of Downingtown, Pa., arrived in Baltimore Friday, looking forward to several days of watching Indy cars careen down the city's streets. Cline, who booked two hotel nights, expects to spend about $1,500 on hotel, meals and race tickets. Had it not been for the races, Cline wouldn't have found himself in Baltimore on a Labor Day weekend.
"I drive through it a lot," he said.
Bill and Jisella Wise and their children, ages 1 and 5, in town for the race from Nottingham, Pa., will check out some of Baltimore's tourist attractions. They planned to head to the Baltimore Museum of Art after watching Friday's practice session followed by dinner at a local restaurant.
"I don't know what restaurant we're going to, but we're going to be somewhere for dinner," Bill Wise said.

The Degrading Quality Of X.Org Releases?
Published on 26 September 2007 12:13 AM EDT
Written by
Michael Larabel
8 Comments
On the
X.Org mailing list
, Alan Coopersmith had raised concerns over the release criteria for X11 and how with recent releases (namely
X.Org 7.3
), the de facto standard for making a release was far from being met. Alan, Sun's X engineer, had listed the release criteria as the blocker bug list being cleared, the complete tree/release modules being build-able on at least one platform, XTS successfully running on at least one platform, and the documentation being updated and then released. X.Org 7.3 was released eight days late and failed to fully meet any of the requirements -- some X.Org 7.3 driver packages didn't even build against the respective X server.
Alan Coopersmith's points are certainly valid, and in a rush to meet deadlines and push out software, the quality has lessened. But don't get the wrong impression, X.Org developers do work hard, are doing a great job, and that isn't to be discounted! This problem doesn't exclusively apply to the X.Org development community, but largely across the free software spectrum. To succeed, however, something must be done and we must push for quality-driven releases as we prepare for the next wave of Linux desktop users. We must have timed releases but at the same time we need to expect at least the same level of quality.
What are your thoughts on X.Org 7.3? How can open-source software releases be rejuvenated to prevent degradation? Share your thoughts in the
