Media's Lack of Support For Flash
by Mark Walsh on Apr 30, 5:45 PM
With the epic battle between Apple and Adobe reaching new heights with Steve Jobs' 1,700-word anti-Flash broadside Thursday, where do media companies and stand in this take-no-prisoners struggle? Of course, both online publishers and ad agencies have squawked about Apple's lack of Flash support for the iPhone, iPod and now especially, the more video-friendly iPad. After all, the Adobe format powers most of their high-end digital content and advertising from music videos to rich media units. But compared to Jobs' high-profile crusade against Flash, the response from the media industry has been rather muted-grudging acceptance rather than open war.

Wired Already Benefiting From iPad Without App
by Mark Walsh on Apr 23, 4:27 PM
The iPad has already become a key platform for at least one magazine's mobile site.

by Mark Walsh on Apr 22, 4:15 PM
AT&T and Verizon may be bitter rivals, but first-quarter earnings from the telco titans this week showed both are now deriving a third of their revenue from wireless data services. Nevertheless, both companies have suggested this year that a shift toward tiered pricing on data services is inevitable to curb usage by the heaviest bandwidth-users.

Apple's Early Outlook For IAd Not So Bold
by Mark Walsh on Apr 21, 3:15 PM
At least initially, Apple doesn't appear to have grand ambitions for iAd taking over mobile advertising. During the company's conference call Tuesday, when asked how the financial community should view iAd -- as potential profit center or a break-even business like iTunes and the App Store -- Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer voiced modest expectations for 2010.

by Mark Walsh on Apr 20, 3:50 PM

Wireless Ads Offer Frustration-Free Alternate Reality
by Mark Walsh on Apr 19, 4:00 PM
Wireless companies will spend a total of $126 billion this year to upgrade their networks and information technology to cope with a coming "data tsunami," according to a Wall Street Journal story today. But you'd never know wireless operators have had problems even handling ordinary calls from watching their recent commercials. In ads touting their services as the gateways to the world of on-the-go Internet, media and business nirvana, not only are there no dropped calls -- but everything is in reach with the click of a button.

POLICE in the Western Division recorded the lowest percentage in complaints against officers and service delivery.
Officiating at the second quarterly police parade at Natabua High School grounds in Lautoka yesterday, Police Commissioner Ben Groenewald called for an overall improvement in their professional conduct and service delivery.
"You have managed to record a decrease in overall offences by 14 per cent, which is low when compared to other divisions," he said.
He urged the 400 officers on parade to put in the hard yards in reducing serious offences, crime against women and children.
"The Western Division is the central tourism district of Fiji and also accommodates several critical national infrastructures, being the drivers of the aviation, energy and agriculture sectors of Fiji's economy.
"You must have a good understanding of the economic activities in the division.
"It is absolutely critical, therefore, for you to be vigilant in ensuring a safe environment for the Western Division economy."
He urged them to improve their status in the next quarter and said he would closely monitor their performances through their divisional commanders.
"I expect an overall improvement in all your KPIs in the coming quarter."

The researchers noted that the study was limited in size and diversity. McCarthy said that future studies with people from various social and economic backgrounds should give more data on how gender and health-related beliefs affect survivor outcomes. More research might also illuminate how women are relatively protected from depression after a stroke, compared to men.

It started with a series of "niggles." This is how native New Zealander Kim Lohnes describes the irregular sensations she felt in her chest.
On a hot summer day in 2010, John was rushed to the emergency room at Saddleback Memorial Medical Center in San Clemente. Within seconds, doctors and nurses set him up with tests, IVs and x-rays and determined he had suffered a heart attack.

Pope Francis has called for an 'urgent' need for a peaceful solution to the Syrian crisis. Speaking on the first day of a visit to the Middle East, the Pontiff also called for a just solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Pope was speaking in Amman following a meeting with Jordan's King Abdullah II.
According to Sky News, King Abdullah praised the Pope for his 'humanity and wisdom', saying his visit would help ease the suffering of the Syrian refugees and the burden of host countries like Jordan where most have fled. Pope Francis then held a public mass in Amman's main sports stadium, attended by around 25,000 people, many of whom were Christian refugees who have fled Syria and Iraq.
The visit will last just over 48 hours, but in that time the Pope will also visit the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Israel, hold talks with national leaders and deliver 13 speeches or homilies, the report said. The Vatican said the aim of the visit is to raise awareness of the exodus of Christians from the region in the face of increasing persecution, as well as to call for greater unity between the Catholic and Orthodox churches.
In an effort to promote inter-religious dialogue, the Pope will be accompanied by a Rabbi and an Imam, both close friends from his home city of Buenos Aires in Argentina.

SINGAPORE (ICIS)--Demand for polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene (PP) in India is likely to be uncertain after the Hindu festival of Diwali in early November, regional market players said on Thursday.
"We are really not sure where the market would head to after Diwali. It has softened but buyers need to get material at some point. But we don't really know what will happen," a Mumbai trader said.
Demand for most PE and PP grades was soft for the majority of October due to bearish buying sentiment and soft downstream demand.
"No buying took place in October because of bearishness. Downstream activity is also weak, so we are not sure. The strengthening rupee is not helping to boost buying," said a separate Mumbai-based trader.
Indian end-users mainly purchase PE and PP from the Middle East and southeast Asia.
Such producers said they do not look to India to sell material, preferring to export to China, where margins are more significant.
"We can make more in China. In India, everything is so uncertain, we rather trade where we know what will happen next," a Middle East PE producer said.

ClassicsOnline Home » SCHMIDT: Clarinet Quintet in B-Flat Major / Romance
Franz Schmidt (1874-1939)
Clarinet Quintet in B flat major
Three Little Fantasy Pieces on Hungarian National Melodies
The Austrian composer Franz Schmidt has been strangely
neglected abroad, in part through his own conservatism and in part through the
vagaries of history and of progressive musical taste. He was born in Pressburg
(the modern Slovak capital Bratislava and former Hungarian capital Pozsony,
where Liszt made his début and Bartók went to school) in 1874 and had his first
music lessons there from the cathedral organist. In 1888 his family moved to
Vienna, where he was able to continue his musical studies, but only by earning
money as a dance-school pianist. He took lessons with that most remarkable of
piano teachers Leschetizky and two years later entered the Conservatory, where
his composition teachers were Bruckner and Robert Fuchs, the latter teacher of
Mahler, Sibelius, Wolf, Schreker, Zemlinsky and a whole generation of Austrian
composers. At the same time he studied the cello with Ferdinand Hellmesberger,
a member of a remarkable Vienna dynasty of string-players. In 1896 Schmidt
joined his teacher in the cello section of the Court Opera, conducted from 1897
by Gustav Mahler, who at first favoured him over the existing front-desk
players. According to Schmidt Mahler soon dismissed two thirds of the players
in the orchestra, and the two principal cellists would never play when Mahler
conducted, leaving the front desk to Schmidt and a colleague, an arrangement
that Mahler accepted. The intervention of Arnold Rosé, the concert-master and
Mahler's brother-in-law, who moved him without warning from the front desk,
caused difficulties, particularly when Schmidt later refused Mahler's order to
resume, unpaid, the position of principal cellist, risking threatened
dismissal. He continued as a rank-and-file player until 1911, when he
eventually resigned, to become a piano professor at the Vienna Staatsakademie.
There he later taught harmony and composition, serving as director from 1925 to
1927, when he was appointed director of the Vienna Musikhochschule, a position
he relinquished in 1931.
Something of the enmity that arose between Schmidt and
Mahler was attributed by the former to the attention critics gave the first of
his four symphonies, awarded the Beethoven Prize in 1900 and first played in
Vienna two years later, to the expressed approval of the redoubtable Hanslick,
former champion of Brahms against the Wagnerians. Schmidt played his opera
Notre Dame through to Mahler, who found it deficient in melodic invention,
although he listened to the work to the end. The opera, completed in 1904 and
based on Victor Hugo's novel, won considerable success when it was first staged
at the Vienna Court Opera in 1914, after Mahler's death. As a composer Schmidt
won a significant contemporary reputation not only with his symphonies but also
with his 1937 apocalyptic oratorio, Das Buch mit sieben Siegeln. Schmidt's
chamber music includes two string quartets, a piano quintet and two quintets
for clarinet and piano quartet, both now available on the Marco Polo label.
Shortly before his death he received one more of many honours, the Beethoven
Prize of the Prussian Academy. He died in February 1939, at the end of an epoch
in the history of his country.
The first of the two clarinet quintets, the Quintet in B
flat major, was written in 1932. The piano parts of both quintets, as of the
Piano Quintet in G major of 1926 and the Second Piano Concerto, written in
1934, were for the left hand only, designed for Paul Wittgenstein, a former
pupil of Leschetizky, who had made his début in 1913 but lost his right arm in
the war in 1915. Wittgenstein, from a family of considerable distinction, had
developed a remarkable left-hand technique and commissioned or received the
dedications of a number of works for his use. Two-hand versions were later
arranged by the pianist Friedrich Wührer, a piano pupil of the composer and a
leading virtuoso of his generation and pioneer of new music.
The B flat Quintet opens with a motif imitated by one
instrument after another, accompanied by a busier piano part, the whole
movement immaculately crafted and of manifold charm, with passing suggestions
of a darker world, as minor keys are explored. The material is winningly
developed in music that belongs to the best traditions of Vienna, in an idiom
that Brahms and his contemporaries would have acknowledged and accepted. The
slow movement allows the piano initial prominence, its left-hand origin barely
perceptible. At its heart is a relaxation of mood, in the style of a scherzo,
replaced temporarily by greater poignancy, before the return of lighter-hearted
music, recalling the Austrian countryside of Schubert's time. It is music
firmly rooted in folk tradition that opens the final movement, the recurrent
principal theme of the rondo a village dance, with one episode at least that
suggests the pianism of Rachmaninov. Once again the title Clarinet Quintet,
though convenient, seems a misnomer for what is basically a work for piano,
with clarinet, violin, viola and cello.
The three delightful Fantasy Pieces on Hungarian National
Melodies for cello and piano are early compositions, dating from 1892, a reminder
of Schmidt's birth-place and maternal ancestry, and of his own ability as a
cellist. He wrote these pieces while a student at the Conservatory and they are
evidence of his own instrumental ability, exhibited in his own cadenza to the
Haydn D major Cello Concerto, that impressed Brahms at Schmidt's graduation in
1896 and won him his place in the Court Opera Orchestra, over forty other
applicants. The Romance for piano was only published posthumously, in 1960, but
is remarkable enough in its harmonies, while the Toccata of 1938, originally
for the left hand only, was written as a parting gift to Paul Wittgenstein, who
left Vienna in the year of the Anschluss at first for Switzerland and then to
spend his final years in the United States.

If that works, I agree that would be a better way to do it. We should also delete the esd launching (and associated "preference") from GNOME. Historically that was around as a "I want my system broken in a different way" knob to let apps that didn't route through ESD get access to the sound card (but break mixing). Pulse releases the sound device if it's not being used, so it is safe to always start, as far as I can tell.

Criticizing online documents without linking to them: An email exchange with a National Review writer
If I were to list my top 10 blogging pet peeves, bloggers that respond to and criticize other online writers without linking to them would be at the top of the list. There are few things that are more childish and inexcusable in the blogosphere.
This tends to happen most often in political blogs. For instance, in 2006 conservative blogger Michelle Malkin wrote a hit piece accusing the NY Times of needlessly endangering the life of Donald Rumsfeld by publishing pictures of his house. It wasn't long before several bloggers tore her argument to shreds by showing that just about everything she had asserted was demonstratively false. At one point it even came to light that the NY Times photographer had received permission from Rumsfeld for taking the photo. Eventually, Malkin was pressured to write a follow-up post so that she could respond to her critics.
The result? A post that went to every length to never link to the blogs that destroyed her arguments. Instead, she sets up strawman after strawman and then knocks them down with a back-sliding flourish of intellectual dishonesty, a whirlwind of arm thrashing and punches in the dark.
The wonderful thing about the internet is that it's easy to provide context. The mainstream media is often criticized for providing out-of-context sound-bites. But when I'm criticizing an article, say, in the New York Times, I have the benefit of not only providing choice quote soundbites, but also linking to the article so that skeptical readers can read it in full. I can have my cake and eat it too.
Which brings me to a recent email exchange I had with a writer for the National Review.
I had been skimming through its Media Blog when I came across a post titled "Metrics for Success" In the post, Kevin D. Williamson provides a throw-away criticism of an article on LewRockwell.com.
As you can probably predict, Williamson criticized the article without ever linking to it, an action that annoyed me enough that I shot him an email:
I'm curious; you wrote about an article on leerockwell.com but didn't link to it. Why? Don't you think that if a blogger is critical of an article that appears online, that he should link to it so that his readers can read it in its entirety if they want to weigh the merits of his criticism?
His flip response that arrived a few minutes later was entirely predictable:
I don't always link to everything I mention, especially if I don't think the item worth reading. I believe everybody knows that they can find lewrockwell.com articles at lewrockwell.com, if they are so inclined.
Thanks for writing.
To which I responded:
Somehow I think that if the tables were turned and another blogger started criticizing one of your posts by cherry-picking quotes from it and not linking to it you would be quite annoyed.
And sure, I could criticize something at nytimes.com and assume that if a reader really wanted to he could visit the website and do an archive search, but those assumptions are silly considering I can take the five extra seconds to link to it.
You say that it's not an item worth reading, and yet it's an item worth responding to?
You see, Williamson. Even though your blog post violated one of my biggest pet peeves — and would therefore qualify as a post "not worth reading," as you put it — I still linked to it anyway. You know why? Because I have respect for my readers and allow them to read your post in full to get context.
Given that you're writing for a "media blog," I shouldn't have to give you lessons in Blogging 101.

University of Colorado professors said Monday that they're confident a financial-industry bailout package eventually will pass and warned that Main Street is just as responsible for the crisis as Wall Street.
Speaking at a forum shortly after the U.S. House of Representatives voted down the proposed package, panel members attributed the rejection to politics but said a bailout package likely will move forward.
"We are all responsible for the problem," said Ron Melicher, professor of finance at the Leeds School of Business at the University of Colorado at Boulder. "For Congress not to vote in favor of the package is a travesty."
Melicher and three other professors addressed more than 200 students and other residents.
Financial Crisis
Melicher said people, financial institutions and regulators at all levels share the blame.
"They all thought someone else would solve the problem," he said.
The idea that homeownership should be bestowed on all is a "nice idea," but not practical when not everyone is qualified to pay back a loan, he said.
Financial institutions packaged and sold potentially bad loans as low-risk investments, leading to Wall Street's troubles, the panelists said. And credit rating agencies, bank regulators and other overseers did not keep track of the situation, they said.
Tom Thibodeau, global real estate capital market chairman at CU's Real Estate Center, said the housing bubble was created by irrational expectations of the housing market.
If the bailout is resurrected and approved, there will be some credit available for businesses and consumers.
If a bailout is not passed, however, no credit will be available for consumers, students or business, which will slow the economy to a standstill, said most of the panel, which included finance professors Sanjai Bhagat and Chris Leach.
Still, Leach said, any bailout plan must include consequences for those involved in creating the crisis.
"I'm a fan of spending time and making sure the appropriate people are punished," Leach said.
He added that he is more concerned about the long-term, including the value of the dollar and the fact that Americans do not save money or make the connection between working harder and consumption of products.
"Americans . . . have become addicted to cheap Chinese goods," he said.
For the students in the room, business undergrads and graduate students, the professors had little advice about their future careers.
"Take a job, whatever is out there," Melicher said. "Or go to grad school if you are an undergraduate."

If members are attending the golf tournament and the Presidents Reception, this will be held on 12 August 2015, so members should plan your trips and book your rooms accordingly, as you book your rooms you will see that the dates have been adjusted to accomodate the convention group rate as seen below.
Start date: 8/9/15
Personal Security While TravelingNotify a trusted person of your departure and return dates, but don't otherwise publicize your travel or vacation plans. Leave contact numbers with trusted friends or family. Check plane, train, and bus times before you travel. Sit near other people or near aisles or doors. Learn the location of emergency alarms and exits. Stay awake and alert when using public transportation. Consider purchasing special clothing or accessories to hide your passport, money, or credit cards. Keep the majority of your funds in travelers checks and hidden; carry some in your wallet or handbag. Use a money clip. If you are robbed, you may lose the money in the clip but will retain important credit cards and documents. Keep valuables out of sight and luggage close at hand. If carrying a handbag, keep it in front of you, closed, with the fastening toward your body. Keep a wallet in your front pants pocket. Let go if your bag is snatched. Do some research on the area you are visiting.
Talk to the host convention coordinator regarding travel advisories or warnings. When traveling, dress casually; dress down where appropriate. Be aware of local customs. Don't wear excess jewelry. Reduce wallet and purse contents, particularly cards denoting affiliations, memberships, accounts, etc. At airports, proceed through security checks and go to the boarding area as quickly as possible. These areas are usually the most secure in the airport. In any crowded situation, be aware of any crowding or jostling, even if it appears innocent. This is often a ploy by pickpockets to distract you. Be very careful any time you use a telephone calling card. Fraudulent uses of these cards are on the rise. Look for people observing your card or your fingers as you dial your code. Avoid being heard giving the number to local telephone operators.
Personal Security in Hotels
Do not discuss your business or travel plans in public areas where they may be overheard. Discuss your travel plans and movements during your stay with as few people as possible. Selecting a hotel room on the third to fifth floor generally will keep you out of reach of criminal activity from the street but still within reach of most fire truck ladders. Do not entertain strangers in your hotel room. Be alert to overly friendly locals who may have criminal intentions. They may offer to take you to a "special" restaurant. Their ruse may be to offer drugged refreshments. Never leave valuables in your hotel room exposed or unattended, even in a locked suitcase. Place valuables--money, jewelry, airplane tickets, credit cards, passport--in a hotel safe deposit box or room safe. Familiarize yourself with escape routes in case of fire or other catastrophe. Use the door chain or bolt lock whenever you are in your room. Use the door viewer (peephole) before opening the door to visitors. Do not discuss your room number while standing in the lobby or leave your room key on restaurant or bar tables. Keep your room neat so you will notice disturbed or missing items quickly.
By using these basic safety tips and your own common sense, you can help protect yourself.
In recent years, hotels have become increasingly adept at finding ways to nickel and dime their customers. According to a study published last year by PriceWaterHouseCooper's Hospitality Division, hotels are gorging themselves on surcharges and hidden fees. Hotels worldwide were on track to rake in nearly $2 billion in surcharges and hidden fees in 2007, more than tripling the $550 million they took in just four years ago. That's a lot of minibar charges and towel replacement fees.
1. Be aware of your rights. According to federal law, additional fees should never be a surprise. Hotels must post information about such fees "clearly and conspicuously." What "clearly and conspicuously" means in practice is in the eye of the beholder, but if extra fees aren't clearly stated in the reservation conditions when you book online or over the phone, you should inform the hotel they are violating the law and politely but firmly ask for the charges to be removed. Obviously you now need to read the fine print conditions when you book online, and should ask if any extra fees are billed when you book over the phone.
Note: When renting a vehicle be sure to inspect the inside and outside for damages, be sure to note any damages on the vehicle on the contract no matter how minor. Further use your cell/smart phone camera and take a picture of the damage, this will help in any dispute of damages.
