Sales arrangement marks progress for Google's fledgling TV ad product.
Google has announced a partnership with DirecTV, allowing advertisers to buy national inventory on 11 networks carried by the satellite provider - including Bloomberg, Fox Business, Centric, and Fuel - through the search giant's auction-based self-service TV ad platform.
According to Google, DirecTV is responsible for selling between two and four minutes of ads for every hour of programming it delivers, with the networks themselves selling the remainder. The arrangement will see DirecTV effectively hand off its inventory for those 11 networks to Google, which will now offer advertisers access to ads across all dayparts, including primetime.
Speaking with ClickZ, John Saroff, head of strategic partnerships for Google's TV Ads product, said the intention was to help give online advertisers a taste of what TV has to offer. "Our bread and butter is bringing new advertisers to television - internet advertisers that have grown up with Google," he said, adding that over 30 percent of advertisers currently using the product are new to TV advertising.
In 2007, Google agreed to a relationship with DISH Network through which it sells ads across 90 different networks. However, that relationship is non-exclusive, meaning the type and volume of inventory fluctuates, depending on negotiations with DISH.
DirecTV, however, has essentially agreed to subcontract all of its ad sales to Google for those 11 networks, representing a significant step forward for the fledgling product. "This is a very exciting day for us," Saroff said, adding, "We hope to extend the relationship down the line, but it makes sense to start with a relatively small amount of inventory."
Essentially, Saroff suggested the product has been pitched mainly at small to medium-sized businesses looking for an easy way to extend their marketing efforts. However, a lack of geographic targeting capabilities would appear to limit its appeal to local advertisers, as could the costs associated with producing ad creative. In 2009, an agency exec told ClickZ that most small businesses have little time, or the inclination to experiment with the medium, stating, "You need a professional."
In Google's defense, though, it's precisely those hurdles it's trying to lower for advertisers, and by Saroff's own admission, it's still early days for the product. "No-one really knows yet what the strengths of the system will be," he said, adding, "we have a long way to go, but we're delighted to be in business with DirecTV. Saroff added that the company is currently in discussions with a range of other providers and networks regarding similar relationships.
The full lineup of DirecTV networks Google will now sell ads against also includes G4, Current, Ovation, Fit, Sleuth, Chiller and TV Guide.

Map maker Javier Arce created a world map locating 212 cities referenced in 7,681 pop songs. Click on a city and you can instantly play the related songs through Spotify.
To create this map Javier extracted a list of the cities with their respective countries and created a table. Then he geocoded that table to get the position of each city on the map.
Next, he extracted all the song information in the main article using regular expressions and infinite amounts of patience. It generated a CSV file that he imported into his CartoDB account. Javier ended up having a table that contained the name of the song, the author, and the city.

This is kind of neat. From the Official Google Blog: "Starting today, you can travel to the past to see how a place has changed over the years by exploring Street View imagery in Google Maps for desktop. We've gathered historical imagery from past Street View collections dating back to 2007 to create this digital time capsule of the world."
Designer Jug Cerovic proposes a standardized approach to subway mapping, encompassed by 7 simple rules:
1. The city center sits at the center (because, duh).
2. The center is a basic shape, like a circle or square (for visual simplicity).
3. The center is zoomed in (because that area is always congested with lines).
4. All lines must run vertical, horizontal, or at 45-degree angles (again, for visual simplicity).
5. Their angles should be smooth (to feel more familiar, city to city).
6. Their colors and connection iconography are standardized (duh again).
7. All text must be listed in local and Latin lettering (for the tourists, aka all of us).
The subtext to subway remapping projects is often "London basically got this right 80 years ago, deal with it."— so his version of The Underground, above, is interesting food for thought.
My ultracreative friend Lucy Farey-Jones attended the recent TED conference in Vancouver and left delightfully overwhelmed. The only way she could make sense of what she learned was by mapping it on a single beautiful page.
"Upon my re-entry to the real world, friends, clients and folks at my firm say: 'How was TED?' And there is a big pause from me as my brain tries and fails to sum it up," Lucy says. "It's an impossible question to answer. It's like being asked 'How is food?' or 'Puberty — how was it?' Which is where this idea came in. I thought a way to answer this daunting question would be to make a graphic which tries to capture how TED makes me feel. I gave myself the challenge to capture 5 days in one page."
Urban Jungle Street View is a Google Street View mashup that pulls out the 3D information latent in the Streetview database and uses it to map lush, ecotopian foliage over the surfaces of the buildings and street furniture. You can put your own address in and see your home covered in climbing jungles and explore from there, or use great architectural landmarks as your starting point. Shown here: the Flatiron building in midtown Manhattan, where my publishers are located.
Its creator, Einar Öberg, has created a ton of other amazing mashups based on similar principles.

Google's autocomplete, as visualized by @Amazing_maps, discloses the questions that everyone is asking. [via]
In the Guardian, Serge Wroclawski makes the case for Openstreetmap, a free/open map tool maintained by a volunteer community. Wroclawski argues that allowing companies to own maps allows them to own places: to determine which features of our neighbourhoods are worthy of inclusion, to determine which parts of our cities should and shouldn't be considered in route planning, and to monitor our decisions about where we travel and what we do when we get there. It's a dangerous proposition, and Openstreetmap is a viable, and often superior, alternative (see, for example, the map above of the neighbourhood around my office):
The second concern is about location. Who defines where a neighbourhood is, or whether or not you should go? This issue was brought up by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) when a map provider was providing routing (driving/biking/walking instructions) and used what it determined to be "safe" or "dangerous" neighbourhoods as part of its algorithm. This raises the question of who determines what makes a neighbourhood "safe" or not – or whether safe is merely a codeword for something more sinister.
Right now, Flickr collects neighbourhood information based on photographs which it exposes through an API. It uses this information to suggest tags for your photograph. But it would be possible to use neighbourhood boundaries in a more subtle way in order to affect anything from traffic patterns to real estate prices, because when a map provider becomes large enough, it becomes the source of "truth".
Lastly, these map providers have an incentive to collect information about you in ways that you may not agree with. Both Google and Apple collect your location information when you use their services. They can use this information to improve their map accuracy, but Google has already announced that is going to use this information to track the correlation between searches and where you go. With more than 500 million Android phones in use, this is an enormous amount of information collected on the individual level about people's habits, whether they're taking a casual stroll, commuting to work, going to their doctor, or maybe attending a protest.

Here is our world divided equally into territories of about 10m people, with existing boundaries taken into account.
"The logic of the map does not entirely discount existing ethnic or national boundaries, but neither is it beholden to them. The particular political rationale behind these divisions is not addressed - whether these are independent nation-states or provinces of a world government is left to the imagine of the viewer. The map is rather meant to provide a visual representative of the radically unequal distribution of the world's population."

John B. Sparks' 1931 Histomap charted 4,000 years of human civilization with beautiful, reductive clarity. Here's John Brownlee, at Fast Company:
From a modern perspective, Sparks' Histomap will raise a few eyebrows. For one, it subscribes to an outdated (but, at the time, quite in vogue) idea about how different cultures throughout history could be grouped into various "peoples." The chart also underestimates or omits certain cultures that historians at the time didn't truly appreciate the importance of. The chart is also more Eurocentric than it would be if it were created today, with little space devoted to African civilizations or even American civilizations before Europeans settled the New World in the 15th century.

New York has the worst subway map in the world. Instead of using London Underground-inspired abstract maps like a normal metropolis, the locals prefer a more geographically-faithful "spaghetti" rendering, thereby making wayfinding a pain for tourists. But it's not as if improvements haven't been attempted: New York's peculiar layout, and the density of its downtown lines, tend to make minimalist maps confusing in other ways. Mapmaker Max Roberts, however, has created this incredible "circular map", which uses a Tube-like style but with the 90- and 45-degree angles ditched in favor of radial lines emanating from the Upper Bay.

James Chapman makes music under the name Maps in his basement in Northampton, England. And while he appears to be something of a loner as a musician, the songs on the new Maps record Vicissitude have a welcoming sweetness that feels like a fortuitous amalgamation of many talented minds.
"A.M.A." is the first single from the new record, and it's a keeper. Chapman's whispery vocals combine with a sparse and relentless beat that is simultaneously cheerful and foreboding.

Jim sez, "My sister and I helped my mom start cleaning out her basement yesterday, and this 1978 Tony Graham Graphics 'United States of New York' poster was one of the things we found. As a little kid living in Brooklyn, this definitely goofed up my ideas about geography. My parents didn't want to keep it, so I got to snag it. I need to re-frame it, but then it's going up on the wall, since I definitely remember it from when I was a kid. So I wanted to share a very very big copy of it for any New Yorkers out there that may be interested.

Shedding Light On One Family's "December Dilemma"
A Christmas tree? In this nice Jewish girl's home? Here's how it happened.
I am engaged to a wonderful man – who is not Jewish. Over the course of our relationship, we've talked a lot about what our interfaith life will look like. But talking about a Christmas tree, something seemingly so small, was always put on the back burner to make room for conversations about what traditions the wedding ceremony will involve, and how to raise our future children.
Last year was our first Christmas together living under the same roof, and we were saved from the discussion yet again because our apartment was too small to even conceive of displaying a tree. We have since moved to a larger, more tree-accommodating apartment, and this year the conversation became real. It was very deep, and went something like this:
Erik: Can we please get a tree?
Me: Okay.
Erik: Like, right now?
Me: Okay!
And off we went to pick out our tree and all of its fixings. A couple of hours later, our living room glowed from its lights and we sat on the couch tired, happy, and thoroughly impressed with ourselves. Then, my mind began to wander.
What did this mean? What would my mother say? Am I going to be judged for putting this up in my apartment?
I found myself in an after-the-fact December Dilemma, and all of my thoughts were verbalized through the sentence, "I can't believe there's a Christmas tree in my apartment." I didn't know that uttering those words would lead to a learning experience!
My fiancé Erik, who is originally from Ukraine, told me that in the Soviet Union, in the Communists' effort to stifle religion, Christmas trees were forbidden. So instead, folks put up New Year's trees – a tradition that many continue today. The tree therefore can carry with it cultural as opposed to religious significance.
"Cool!" I thought. "We have a New Year's tree – NOT a Christmas tree! So much easier to explain to family! So much easier to confess to friends!"
It appeared that my personal December Dilemma had been solved thanks to a quick history lesson from my fiancé. I have learned through this process that feelings about Christmas/New Year's trees are fluid. So where are my feelings now?
Well, the tree has been up for a few weeks, and with each day that passes… I love it more. I appreciated the history lesson from Erik, but I've since realized that labeling the tree is unimportant to me. What is important is that it makes someone I love comfortable and happy, and, whatever its significance or connotations, that's enough for me. Appreciating a part of his identity doesn't take away from my identity, and I understand now that that is why it was so easy for me to agree to get one. My heart got it before my head did.
There is no single "right answer" that will apply to everyone, when it comes to deciding on shared practices and rituals—at this holiday season, or at any time of year. I am also very glad that there are so many resources, like Jewish Outreach Institute/Big Tent Judaism, that can support interfaith families in navigating these conversations and choices in respectful, informed ways.
This year, when I look at the Christmas/New Year's tree, with its ornaments hung so precisely and its laughably-too-small skirt, all I see is joy, understanding, and respect. I am proudly Jewish, and the tree does not diminish that – and in fact, while a Christmas tree might not be part of my identity, the qualities of joy, understanding, and respect, are ones I try to embody every day.
On the first night of Hanukkah, Erik and I took out our brand new chanukiah (which we also picked out together). We said the blessings, and the candles glowed right alongside the Christmas lights. Who knows how our interfaith traditions will evolve over time, but for now there is no December Dilemma in our apartment. There is love, and learning, and a whole lot of lights.
From my interfaith family to yours, Happy Everything!

What Can Southern Jews Teach The Rest of Us About Intermarriage and Outreach?
Usually we think of small, southern communities as being at least a beat behind their larger counterparts, especially when they have small—even "diminishing"—Jewish populations. Many of these Jewish communities were once thriving, but they have followed the American trend of younger generations abandoning smaller hometowns for larger urban centers.
These communities may be demographically small, but they should be considered ideologically large in their response to those who have intermarried.
How these communities respond should be instructive to other communities, regardless of size or region. It is true that the intermarriage rate—particularly among non-Orthodox Jews—is among the highest in these communities. Even if there is debate among demographers as to the exact rate of intermarriage, what is most important to consider is the trend lines. That's why the well-practiced response of these communities is so important at a time when the rest of the North American community has finally transcended the question of "Should we reach out to those who have intermarried?" and moved to "How should we reach out to those who have intermarried?"
In a word, the only response of these smaller Southern communities has always been the same: welcome.
To be the most welcoming of communities is the only response possible and that is what these small communities have been doing. The synagogue remains the most numerous of Jewish communal organizations in the United States. In smaller communities, it is often the only Jewish communal institution and serves a multiplicity of functions. That's why its actions are so demonstrative.
How have these Southern Jewish communities led the way? While institutions in other parts of the country are still debating the roles for those of other religious backgrounds in synagogues throughout the country, many in the South have long seen "non-Jewish partners" take on key roles in their communities.
As part of Jewish Outreach Institute's ongoing partnership with the Goldring/Woldenberg Institute of Southern Jewish Life, I traveled to Mississippi this past week to serve as faculty at the ISJL's education conference. I was reminded, again, of how many individuals in these Southern communities might not be Jewish—but are undoubtedly contributing to the Jewish future.
Simply by committing to raise Jewish children, they are contributing to our future; but their involvement goes above and beyond that. Southern congregations recognize this, voting with their feet and extending full synagogue membership to non-Jewish partners. These unsung heroes have joined the boards of synagogues, sometimes a thankless task, and have even become board presidents in some places. They are religious school teachers, and some have even become the directors of their town's religious schools.
These partners-of-Jews have cast their lot with the Jewish people. The synagogue has become their spiritual home. We welcome them. We applaud them. And we thank so many in the Southern parts of these United States for leading the way, providing an example for the rest of us to follow.
The Jewish world is full of debates. Get the latest in MyJewishLearning's weekly blogs newsletter.

Other Things to Note
If is less persons than 6, I can give you a better price.
The house is located on a nice hill overlooking the valley and about 25 min drive to La Fortuna. Great setup for morning coffee! The house fits a family of 5 or 6 very nicely and was serviced daily! We had a SUV which is recommended for the unpaved road climb to the house.
Some of the lights in the house were missing (assuming temporary issue)
This home had a beautiful view of the valley below and Arenal Volcano on a clear day. The home was not that far from the main road but the road getting up the hill to the home was rough and had to be driven very slow. This is typical for the Costa Rican side roads and some none major roads. Could be challenging in the wet season but was easily driven in the dry season in a minivan. Overall the home was as advertised and there was no major surprises. It was spacious for our 3 couples and very quiet.
We enjoyed the grounds keeper "Victor" . We didn't speak Spanish and Victor didn't speak English but he was able to provide us a key to the home and give instructions on how to use the washer and dryer. Very pleasant man.
Magdalena offered an additional day stay for free but we had arrangements for a the next leg of our trip to Monteverde and couldn't take advantage of her offer. Thank you!
The reservation was canceled 49 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
We are from Costa Rica , we live in Miami FL. My husband is a Civil Engineer a graduated of the University of Florida, currently he is working for a consulting firm in Miami, I am house wife( I take care our three kids), and I am an artist painter in acrylic, we are an average family...

Healthcare Reform
I know this isn't the place to put this, but I have no idea where it can go. The House of Representitives passed the Healthcare Reform bill which is a load of crap. Now, let me speak a little bit on this issue.
When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. --That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security. Such has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of the present King of Great Britain [George III] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
Now, the above quoted in red comes from the Decleration of Independence. This shall indeed state that this is what is on the horizon. The people of the states have told there representitives that they do NOT want this to pass, democrats included. Their representitives stated its for there better. There representitives have indeed went against the wishes of the people therefor this indeed would dictate that the legislative branch of the united states has become destructive of its own ends and should be removed. Thoughts?
Note to GM: I know this has probably violated the Rules of the Forums and I am willing to accept an infraction for such violation. I wanted to get this off my chest.
First of all I am grumpy at you for disheartening my lovely forum sanctuary with congressional crap. No offense to you at all.
Second, you may have just initiated a flame fest (lol)
Third, elected officials don't care what people think. They've got the power, and they can continually count on people to be uninformed and generally naive about the inner workings of the U.S. As of now it appears the Democrats desperately want to avoid another health care failure, and Obama (who seems to want to define himself on this) will continually try to use his majority to push it through without the proper debate or consideration.
Oddly enough...it's rather similar to Cryptic rushing this game out.:p
First: Politics
Second: copy&paste of Declaration of Independence is retarded in this case
Third: The bill wasn't passed, and I don't even follow the news and I know that.
Forth: Do you really know the will of the people, did you read minds of all 300 million people.
Five: Did I mention politics sucks?
edit: i guess they passed, because i dont watch news i didnt know :/
Second, I dont want this to be a flame fest, I want it to be civilized.
Thridly, Elected officials are to derive there power from the people. They NEED to think about what they do and how they do it. I am not a republican by any means. (Liberterian) but at the same time. This has went against the wishes of the people.

— UConn is taking a stand against Indiana's new "religious freedom" law, as the Huskies coaching staff will skip the Final Four in Indianapolis along with the National Association of Basketball Coaches convention that is held at the same time.
Connecticut Gov. Dannel Malloy banned state-funded travel to Indiana in response to the new law that critics say legalizes discrimination, but because coach Kevin Ollie and his assistants already had paid for their trip, the school was given the choice how to handle it.
"In support of Gov. Malloy's travel ban to the state of Indiana, Kevin Ollie and other members of the UConn men's basketball staff will not travel to Indianapolis for the NCAA Final Four and events surrounding it," UConn president Susan Herbst said Tuesday in a statement. "UConn is a community that values all of our members and treats each person with the same degree of respect, regardless of their background and beliefs and we will not tolerate any other behavior."
Earlier Tuesday, USC athletic director Pat Haden, whose son is gay, announced that he would boycott the College Football Playoff committee meetings this week in the Hoosier State.
Tweeted Haden: I am the proud father of a gay son. In his honor, I will not be attending the CFP committee meeting in Indy this week. #EmbraceDiversity
Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who previously dismissed opposing views of the bill, took a more open stance Tuesday, saying that he has been meeting with lawmakers and wants new legislation by the end of the week that clarifies that the new law does not open the door for people and businesses to legally discriminate.
"It certainly wasn't my intent," Pence insisted.
— An arrest warrant was issued for former NHL player Andre Deveaux in Sweden after he attacked an opposing player during warmups before a playoff game last week.
Deveaux played for Rogle BK, a second-tier team from the southern Sweden town of Angelholm, but the Canadian's contract was terminated Monday after video of the incident went viral. In the video, Deveaux — apparently upset about a hit earlier in the series — can be seen skating out from the bench and immediately heading for VIK Vasteras captain Per Helmersson. Skating up from behind, Deveaux raises his stick and, with two hands, swings it at Helmersson's skate and then jumps on top of the surprised player.
VIK Vasteras reported the incident to police Monday, and authorities decided to take action.
"He is wanted for suspicion of assault," prosecutor Margareta Danielsson-Olvon said. "An investigation is ongoing. We don't know where he is and have put out a warrant for his arrest."
— For the third time in four days, an Alabama football player was arrested. Reserve running back Tyren Jones was kicked off the team by coach Nick Saban after his arrest for marijuana possession.
Saban had suspended Jones on Feb. 10 for "conduct not the standard of the Alabama football program," and Tuesday's arrest was the final straw.
"Tyren Jones was indefinitely suspended from the football program early in the semester," Saban said in a statement. "He was given an opportunity academically and from a team rules standpoint, but he failed to do any of the things necessary to comply with the rules of the Alabama football program. He was dismissed from the team when he refused to follow the parameters given to him for reinstatement."
Jones rushed for 224 yards and two touchdowns as a redshirt freshman last season.
Safety Geno Smith and defensive lineman Jonathan Taylor also were arrested in the past few days. Taylor, who had been dismissed from Georgia last July following his arrest for domestic violence and transferred to Alabama, was booted this week after his arrest on another domestic violence charge.
ON THIS DAY TRIVIA (answer below): On April 1, 2003, in the second game of the season, which Red Sox newcomer hit a home run in the 16th inning for a 9-8 victory over the Devil Rays in Tampa?
QUOTE OF THE DAY: "I understood there was an incident that had transpired, and I wanted to know whether he was involved, and if he was, any player that comes into our system, I consider part of our extended family, and I wanted to get him help. … He said he was not involved. That he was innocent and that he hoped that the time of the murder incident came out because he said he was in a club." – Patriots owner Robert Kraft, testifying in the Aaron Hernandez murder trial about his conversation with Hernandez two days after the death of Odin Lloyd
STAT OF THE DAY: 20 – Goals this season for Loui Eriksson, who scored in the first period of the Bruins' 3-2 victory over the Panthers
'NET RESULTS (mobile users, check the website to see the videos): Heat guard Mario Chalmers nails a shot from beyond midcourt just before the halftime buzzer.

Apple Unveils Next Generation of iPhones
Apple's latest iPhones will come in a bevy of colors and two distinct designs, one made of plastic and the other that aims to be "the gold standard of smartphones" and reads your fingerprint.
Apple unveiled the latest iPhone models, available on Sept. 20, during an event at its Cupertino, Calif., headquarters. The move comes as rival phones from Samsung and other manufacturers are challenging Apple's hold on the smartphone market.
The lower-cost iPhone 5C will be available in five colors — green, blue, yellow, pink and white. CEO Tim Cook calls it "more fun and colorful" than any other iPhone. The 5C has a 4-inch Retina display and is powered by Apple's A6 chip. It also has an 8 megapixel camera, live photo filters and a rear cover that lights up.
The iPhone 5C will cost $99 for a 16 gigabyte model and $199 for a 32 gigabyte model with a two-year wireless contract. The phone is expected to help Apple boost sales in China and other areas where people don't have as much money to spend on new gadgets as they do in the U.S. and Europe.
The second phone, the 5S, is "the most forward-looking phone we have ever created," said Phil Schiller, senior vice president of worldwide marketing at Apple. It will come in silver, gold and "space gray" and run a new chip, the A7 that is up to twice as fast as the A6.
Schiller said the new phone can run more health and fitness applications. These apps have become increasingly popular as more people use them to track exercise routines, calorie intake and even sleep patterns.
The camera in the 5S received some major upgrades, including several automatic features designed to produce better photos. It has larger pixels, which helps capture more light. The phone also has a two-tone flash feature that is designed not to clash with the colors in the room or a person's skin color — something Schiller said has not been done on a phone before.
The camera, called iSight, has "auto image stabilization," which helps avoid blurry pictures, and a slow-motion camera for video.
The 5S also includes "Touch ID," which reads fingerprints at a "detailed level," Schiller said. He said it is "fun and easy" to teach the 5S about your fingerprint and once you do, you can just touch the home button to unlock the phone. The company said fingerprints will not be stored on its servers.
Tying the fingerprint scanner to payments could also open new revenue channels for Apple.
Both models will be on sale on Sept. 20 in the U.S., Australia, China, Canada, France, Germany, Japan, Singapore and U.K. Apple said this is the first time that a new phone has been available right away in China — a sign of the growing importance of that market to the company. People will be able to order the 5C in advance on Sept. 13.
For buyers entering a two-year contract with a wireless carrier, the phone will cost $199 for 16 gigabytes of memory, $299 for 32 and $399 for 64.
Apple also said its next mobile operating system, iOS 7, will be available as a free download on Sept. 18.
Craig Federighi, head of software at Apple Inc., said at an event at the company's Cupertino, Calif., headquarters that "downloading iOS 7 is like getting an all new device."
The new system can be downloaded on the iPhone 4 and later models, as well as on the tablets beginning with the iPad 2.
Apple also says it expects to ship its 700 millionth iOS device next month. Apple CEO Tim Cook predicts that iOS 7 will become the most popular mobile operating system in the world.
Investors seemed unimpressed. Apple's stock price fell $3.17 to $503.10 during the event, which also featured Elvis Costello. The singer performed a new song from a record coming out next week.

Last Update on March 27, 2015 17:24 GMT
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. economic growth slowed in the fourth quarter and economists are looking for an even weaker showing in the first quarter as severe winter weather takes a toll on the economy.
But the slowdown is expected to be short-lived. Stronger growth is expected for the rest of the year as a recovering job market supports healthy gains in consumer spending.
The Commerce Department says the overall economy, as measured by the gross domestic product, grew at an annual rate of 2.2 percent in the October-December period, an estimate that was unchanged from a month ago. The economy had surged at a 5 percent rate in the third quarter.
The final look at fourth quarter GDP found consumer spending was stronger than previously estimated but business restocking was weaker.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Bad weather and rising gasoline prices pushed U.S. consumer sentiment a bit lower in March.
The University of Michigan's consumer sentiment index slipped to 93 this month from 95.4 in February. Richard Curtin, chief economist for the survey, notes that despite the monthly drop, consumer optimism was the highest in a decade for the first three months of 2015.
Sentiment dropped most this month among low-income households, which are especially sensitive to high utility bills in the winter. Confidence rose for mid- and high-income households. Curtin predicted that an improving job market would boost consumer spending the rest of the year.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) -- Europe's aviation safety agency is recommending that airlines across the continent always have two people in the cockpit of a flying aircraft.
European airlines, including the Lufthansa Group that includes Germanwings, have been making commitments to implement the measure after it emerged that the co-pilot of Germanwings Flight 9525 had apparently locked himself in the cockpit to crash the plane.
U.S. airlines revamped their policies regarding staffing in the cockpit following the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks. But the procedure is not standard in Europe or Canada.
The European Aviation Safety Agency's executive director, Patrick Ky, says "while we are still mourning the victims, all our efforts focus on improving the safety and security of passengers and crews."
The president of the German pilots union Cockpit tells The Associated Press that his organization would support measures requiring two people in the cockpit at all times during flights, but he cautions that such a move wouldn't solve all security problems.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. resistance to a Chinese-led Asian regional bank is leaving it isolated among its Asian and European allies.
That's giving some heft to China's frequent complaints that Washington wants to contain its rise as a world power.
One of America's closest friends in Asia, South Korea, announced Thursday it will join the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. The institution is intended to help finance construction of roads and other infrastructure.
The U.S. has expressed concern that the new bank will allow looser lending standards, undercutting the World Bank and Asian Development Bank, where the U.S. and Japan have the most clout.
But since Britain broke with Washington two weeks ago, other major European economies have signed up for the Chinese-led bank. Australia also appears poised to join.
ATHENS, Greece (AP) -- Greece's alternate minister for international economic relations says his government is prepared for a "rupture" with the country's creditors if its current bailout negotiations don't go well.
Euclid Tsakalotos said Friday the government would not be negotiating properly if it didn't envisage a rupture with its partners, although he would not say what exactly a rupture might entail.
Greece's government is in talks with its creditors -- eurozone nations, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund -- to unlock urgently needed funds from the country's bailout. It must present a list of reforms by early next week, which it hopes will lead to the disbursement.
Tsakalotos, speaking on private Star TV, said the government was intentionally creating ambiguity with its partners regarding its intentions as a negotiating tactic.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) -- Jurors deciding the outcome of a much-watched gender discrimination lawsuit against a prestigious Silicon Valley venture capital firm are set to enter their third day of deliberations.
The jury of six men and six women are due back in San Francisco Superior Court on Friday in Ellen Pao's lawsuit against Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.
Pao says the firm discriminated against her because she was a woman and then retaliated by denying her a promotion and firing her when she complained about gender bias.
Kleiner Perkins denies the allegations and says Pao had a history of conflicts with colleagues that contributed to the decision to let her go.
The case has put a spotlight on gender imbalance and working conditions for women in Silicon Valley.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- U.S. oil storage facilities are filling up and the price of oil has collapsed, but an Energy Department advisory council says the U.S. should push now to exploit the trove of oil in the Arctic waters off of Alaska or risk a renewed reliance on imported oil.
The U.S. has drastically cut imports in recent years and transformed itself into the world's biggest producer of oil and natural gas by tapping huge reserves in shale rock formations. But the National Petroleum Council's study predicts that the shale boom won't last much beyond the next decade.
Exxon Mobil CEO Rex Tillerson chaired the committee that drafted the study. He says oil companies need to start probing the Artic because it takes decades of preparation and drilling to bring oil to market.
Geologists estimate the Arctic holds about a quarter of the world's undiscovered conventional oil and gas deposits. But environmental advocates say the Arctic ecosystem is too fragile to risk a spill.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The U.S. Chemical Safety Board is operating without a permanent leader. Its chairman has been forced to resign, following accusations of mismanagement.
A White House official says Rafael Moure-Eraso (rah-fah-YEL' moh-RAY' eh-RAH'-soh) stepped down Thursday at the administration's request. The official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss personnel matters.
The National Safety Council says the independent federal agency under Moure-Eraso repeatedly fell under scrutiny for board departures, delayed investigations and other issues. Members of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee had accused Moure-Eraso of violating his oath of office and the law. Committee members had requested his resignation.
The board is responsible for investigating chemical accidents. Its members are appointed by the president and confirmed by the Senate.
President Barack Obama has nominated Vanessa Sutherland to succeed Moure-Eraso.

- I have been selling homes in Winnipeg since 1986 and have achieved a number of professional designations including "President's Circle" and WinnipegREALTORS® Association awards.

- Testimonials:
- "Working with Sandy in the purchase of our dream home, as well as the sale of two homes, was an absolute pleasure. Our baby was 6 months old at the time so we lived in two hour windows working around his nap schedule. Sandy always went out of her way to accommodate us, meeting at any time of the day or night that suited us. Not only was she professional and knowledgeable about the housing market, she also became a friend whom we will keep in touch with for years to come. We would recommend Sandy to our closest friends and family in a heartbeat." Scott, Jen & Baby Mason Lancaster
- "In this high paced market, having a professional real estate agent was not only an asset but a necessity. Sandy made the process of purchasing our first home easy and enjoyable. She provided us with the necessary knowledge to make an informed decision and was able to find us a home that incorporated our needs functionally with a style that was well suited to our taste." ~ Alison & Sean Lewis
- "I have had the pleasure of working with Sandy Loptson since 2005. Sandy has assisted with the purchase of several personal homes and revenue properties. Her attention to detail, knowledge of the market and ability to help me find houses that can become homes, is unsurpassed. A positive attitude and optimistic outlook are character traits that make Sandy one of the best agents I have ever worked with. Her unfailing calm demeanor and no nonsense "if this isn't one, then don't buy it" attitude, made buying a home an easy fun experience. Sandy's knowledge of the market, trends, fair price valuation, an ability to locate potential short comings in prospective properties was an invaluable asset. It is without hesitation that I recommend Sandy Loptson for all of your real estate needs." Carolyne Braid
- "I was introduced to Sandy Loptson during my Job interview and since then I've trusted her immediately. Moving to Canada was a big decision for my family and I was very concerned about finding a nice place to live. Sandy is extremely professional but at the same time she is so kind and warm that it is impossible not to have her as a friend. Actually, we are sad that we are not going to see Sandy so often from now on! Thank you so much for all your help and support. We hope you will be able to visit our family very often." ~ Daniela and Wellington Rody
- "After listing my home with Comfree for six weeks, I enlisted the help of Sandy with Coldwell Banker Preferred Real Estate. She was very approachable and genuine. She has a great reputation and did not disappoint. The house sold in 6 days! Thank you Sandy!" Tania Chainho
- "Sandy has been professional & personable at the same time. She is honest & sincere with us & we are pleased to deal with her once again! Thank you for your hard work & assistance!" Susan & Jeffrey Sandowski
- "Sandy Loptson is a dedicated Real Estate Agent who always has her client's best interests at heart. She is great at what she does and a pleasure to work with. Thank you Sandy!: Barbara Edie

- Frequent top producer with Coldwell Banker Preferred and Coldwell Banker Canada

|Cyclones set sights on winning bowl game
|Written by Admin
|Wednesday, 13 August 2014 05:59
The Cyclones just want to win a bowl game.
Iowa State went to three bowls in its first four years under coach Paul Rhoads. But the Cyclones lost seven straight Big 12 games and finishing 3-9 - by far their worst mark for Rhoads.
Iowa State has predictably been picked to finish ninth in the 10-team league, ahead of only Kansas. But Rhoads has set the bar at a postseason victory, which the Cyclones have achieved just once under Rhoads and three times in school history.

The fish hatchery was interesting and there is a small fish farm nearby that kids would get a kick out of.
Fun place to see the fish and enjoy a pair of bald eagles in the trees./ Good road to the facility and easy parking
Loved seeing the "Raceways" full of fish and reading all the "behind the scenes" info. Seeing the fish already caught in the area over the years made me want to gather my fishing gear and get right out to the nearest lake and start fishing.
We took my almost two year old granddaughter and she loved seeing all the trout in various stages of development. It's a nice afternoon driving and a learning experience for all ages. The vista around the hatchery is gorgeous. My son-in-law couldn't get enough shots of it.
Stopped by on a trip to Payson. Beautiful scenery and the grounds were kept very clean. Great place to visit to learn about fish breeding in Arizona. Nice area to take a walk or hike.
Having a leisurely day out and about and decided to pop in for a look. Our 2 kids 11 and 8 had fun feeding the trout for 25cents a handful, the trout go crazy. There was a guy there working very friendly and gave us lots of info about what they do there. Great to pop by for an hour...
If you are looking to escape the desert heat for a day, take a drive up to the Hatchery. Even though temps could be in the low 90's in the middle of July, sitting near the creek is a refreshing treat. Bring a lunch and picnic in the greenery.
Hiking is available along several trails in this area too. We...
Made a day trip to get out of the heat and enjoy the cool fresh air of Payson. The Tonto Creek Fish Hatchery is always a must stop for us. The drive to the hatchery is beautiful and there are lots of great places to stop along the way to get out and play in the creek and enjoy some...
I will admit that I love fish, so a few of my friends decided to surprise me with a visit to this hatchery while we were spending the weekend in Payson. We were all very glad that they did. The scenery on the way to the hatchery was beautiful, and we walked around, viewing trout in their tanks. There's a...
This place is just beautiful, the drive up follows a creek/small river and there is lots of exploring to be had.
A Very simple trip, bring quarters to buy fish food, also bring a camera.

GamesBeat Summit is invite-only -- apply here. Ticket prices increase on April 3rd! Social gaming giant Zynga today announced it is bringing its latest online social game, Mafia Wars 2, to Google's online social network, Google+. Mafia Wars 2 is a deeper and more graphically appealing version of Mafia Wars, which was one of Zynga's earliest and most popular games on Facebook, which came out in April 2008. The new game features better graphics, more animations and cartoon-like gun battles. It's more similar to Zynga's social games with complex role-playing game elements, such as CityVille and FarmVille. Zynga brought its most popular online game, CityVille, to Google+ around three weeks ago. CityVille has more than 76 million monthly active users on Facebook, while its nearest competitor The Sims Social has more than 66 million monthly active users. Zynga has built its business on social games on Facebook, and it currently has more than 250 million monthly active users, according to AppData. The company has been so successful that it recently filed to go public in order to raise up to $1 billion, and it made $90 million in income last year. But the company has been reliant on Facebook and its Facebook Credits virtual currency transaction system. Google+ gives Zynga a way to generate revenue independent of Facebook. Google's social network attracted a reported 20 million visitors shortly after it launched in June. While it doesn't compare to Facebook's staggering 750 million users or Twitter's sizable 200 million users, those networks have been around much longer.

shallots falling over
(I tried this request over on the allium board, but haven't received any replies; I think they are all out at the pool! :-)
It seems a little early to harvest them. The stalks/leaves/whatever-you-call-'em are still almost all green. They were standing straight up until a couple weeks ago, now most of them are laying down.
Is it time to harvest, or wait for more browning on top?
I would leave them alone for a while yet, as long as the tops remain somewhat plump and green. I'm growing shallots again this year, after many years of not, so can't remember if I treated them any different than onions.
Some years I get lazy and leave my onions in the ground until just before frost. They seems to keep just fine, just that you can't store them nicely braided since the tops are too flimsy by then.
