As satellite signals, e.g. GPS, are severely degraded indoors or not available at all, other methods are needed for indoor positioning. In this paper, we propose methods for combining information from inertial sensors, indoor map, and WLAN signals for pedestrian indoor navigation. We present results of field tests where complementary extended Kalman filter was used to fuse together WLAN signal strengths and signals of an inertial sensor unit including one gyro and three-axis accelerometer. A particle filter was used to combine the inertial data with map information. The results show that both the map information and WLAN signals can be used to improve the pedestrian dead reckoning estimate based on inertial sensors. The results with different combinations of the available sensor information are compared.

The debate about the Postal Service's future is heating up and Pushing the Envelope is interested in your views. Last week the Senate Subcommittee on Federal Financial Management, Government Information, Federal Services, and International Security held a hearing on the Future of the Postal Service. The week before there was a hearing in the House on the Postal Service's financial crisis and future viability, and on April 12, the Government Accountability Office issued a report laying out the strategies and options to maintain the Postal Service's viability. Some of the strategies under discussion include: • Ending Saturday delivery. • Reducing the size of the workforce. • Making postal employees pay the same share of health and life insurance premiums that other federal employees pay. • Generating revenue through new products. • Allowing the Postal Service more pricing freedom. • Restructuring the Postal Service's network of mail processing facilities. • Moving retail services from Post Offices to alternative access options. One item that is generating a great deal of discussion is whether the large payments the Postal Service must make for retiree health benefits should be restructured. One option is to give back some of the excess pension funding and allow the Postal Service to use these funds for other purposes. In January, the Office of Inspector General for the Postal Service issued a report that found the Postal Service had been overcharged $75 billion for its pension obligations from 1971 to 2009 because of an inequitable method of calculating the size of those obligations. Adding to this inequity is the fact that the Postal Service is currently required to fund 100 percent of its retiree health and pension obligations. Very few in private industry do this, and the rest of the federal government's pension funding level is only 41 percent. In addition, the OIG believes that the forecast of the Postal Service's future retiree health care costs is too high. Fixing these issues could save the Postal Service $7 billion a year. What do you think? Which strategies will be most useful to the Postal Service? Should the mix of strategies include cutting delivery service?This topic is hosted by the OIG's Risk Analysis Research Center (RARC).

Those of us helping on the Office of Inspector General blog had so much fun last year we thought we would make the top 10 stories an annual event. We've provided the top 10 postal stories for 2009. Tell us about any stories we missed and add whatever comments you think appropriate. In particular, we would like to get your input on the top story, so take a minute and vote in the poll below.
And now in reverse order . . . our top 10:
- Electric vehicles spark interest — The Postal Service prequalified suppliers in case it requests proposals for the electric conversion of long-life vehicles (LLVs), and a House bill was introduced that would begin the process of testing and deploying 20,000 electric-drive delivery vehicles.
- Sales, Sales, Sales —The Postal Service used its pricing freedom to hold a sale during the traditionally low-volume summer months.
- Retirement incentives fail to motivate — The Postal Service offered financial incentives for early retirements, but fewer employees took up the offer than expected.
- Full-service Intelligent Mail launches — Full-Service Intelligent Mail prices became available in November.
- Communities take note as collection boxes disappear — The news was full of stories of the decline of the familiar blue box, a part of a national-cost-saving measure.
- Unprecedented cost reductions are not enough — The Postal Service squeezed 115 million workhours and $6.1 billion in costs from its operations, but it was not enough to offset the effect of volume losses.
- Mail goes paperless — A new way of "mailing" garnered attention as services emerged that allow mailers to send electronic "mail" using physical address information.
- Congress grants health care prefunding relief — Congress allowed the Postal Service to reduce its contribution to the Postal Service's retiree health fund by $4 billion this year. Without this relief, the Postal Service would have come very close to running out of cash.
- The Postal Service requests 5-day delivery — Postmaster General Potter requested that the Postal Service be given the authority to cut a day of delivery if necessary.
- Perfect storm almost swamps the Postal Service — Large mail volume losses and the continuing heavy requirements to prefund retiree health benefits nearly tipped the Postal Service into insolvency.

Pushing the Envelope officially launched on October 14 last year. Since that time, the blog has posted more than 49 topics including this one and more than 1,700 comments. Some topics have been more popular than others, and those covering issues of interest to Postal Service employees have generally received the most attention. For example, the following topics were the top five in terms of page views.
- 1. The OIG Wants to Know How You Feel about Sick Leave
- 2. Silly Rules
- 3. Nationwide Wage Uniformity
- 4. Brainstorm Ideas to Help the Postal Service
- 5. Brainstorm Ideas Part 2
But many of the less popular topics have also generated valuable debate about the Postal Service, its operations, and the postal industry in general. The OIG has even used reader comments and the results of blog polls in reports (for example, see Retail Technology Strategy — Automated Postal Centers and Financial Reporting Information Under the Postal Accountability and Enhancement Act of 2006.
As we start our second year, the contributors and editors to Pushing the Envelope would like to hear more from you on what you want from the OIG's blog. What do you like about the blog? What can we improve? What topics would you like to see? Let us know what you think.

While the number of travellers on suburban locals losing their lives or getting injured due to the height of the railway platforms is on the rise, in Navi Mumbai, the scenario is totally different. Here the platforms, designed by Cidco, adhere to standard specifications and are passenger-friendly.
According to railway officials, in Navi Mumbai stations there is no risk for commuters, and instances of passengers falling from trains are very less.
"Height of platforms is not a major concern here as it is technically correct and there is no need for immediate alteration," said a Central Railway (CR) official.
The state-of-art railway stations across Navi Mumbai were developed by the City and Industrial Development Corporation Ltd (Cidco), and here there are all provisions that modern railway stations require. There is proper entry and exit points with adequate space in subways, which are well illuminated night and day, and hence women commuters feel safe. And, unlike in Mumbai, the premises outside the stations have not been encroached.
The Harbour Line service was extended from Mankhurd to Navi Mumbai in the 1990s and the Trans-Harbour Line was opened to commuters in 2007. Over the years, the number of commuters using these stations has grown rapidly and therefore the demand for more trains as well as induction of 12-car services too has grown.
In 2013, the number of deaths registered both by Vashi and Panvel railway police was 24, of which 16 persons died in Vashi station police's jurisdiction.
This is the most crowded railway station in Navi Mumbai and the number of footfalls here daily is around 2.34 lakh.
"In the last couple of years, the footfall has multiplied," said Sudarshan Khurana, station manager, Vashi station.
This, however, is a concern for the Central Railway. "Introduction of the 12-car services is inevitable on the Harbour route as a number of passengers now travel on foot steps," said Abhijit Dhurat, president, Navi Mumbai Pravashi Welfare Association.
According to Khurana, a majority of the accidents take place due to human error. "Crossing railway tracks and walking along it is very common. A majority of the people died while trespassing the tracks," said Khurana.
The satellite city houses 15 railway stations, all built as a joint venture between CR and Cidco. Now they are all maintained by Cidco and the operational part is handled by CR. According to sources, Cidco has agreed, in principle, to hand over all stations along the Harbour Line and Trans-Harbour corridor to CR.
"The transfer will help us oversee station maintenance; the dual administrative system bars us from taking up many works," said a railway official requesting anonymity.
Interestingly, the extension of platform has also been completed and the installation of sheds is going on. "The extension of platforms and the work on sheds will be completed in a couple of months and all the platforms will be able to accommodate 12-car trains," said a CR official.
Vashi station ties up with Inorbit mall for ambulance
Most suburban stations lack round-the-clock ambulance services. The Vashi station has, however, found a unique solution to this problem. It has tied up with Inorbit Mall, which has two ambulances offering 24-hour service. The mall is located just opposite the station.
"Recently, we talked with mall officials, and they have agreed to let us use their ambulances during emergencies," said the Vashi station manager.
"Many passengers lose their lives because medical help is not given in time. I hope our effort will help accident victims survive," said Khurana.
Divine help
The stations here have taken a number of steps to make commuting safe. The officials in Vashi even offered a special puja on February 1 to make the Gods happy, and interestingly, till February 24, not a single accident has been reported at the station. "In the last couple of years, there was not a single month free from accidents," said a station official.

NEWORLEANS - The beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama reopened for swimming after city leaders there shut them down due to four drownings on Monday.
Dangerous rip currents were the apparent cause of the deaths.
'A rip tide is a body of water, a strong current of water, that is rushing from the shores back out in to the deep. It's easy for a person to get caught up in the current when that water is rushing back out,' said Jeffery Parker, a Red Cross Aquatics Instructor Trainer.
Parker said swimming lessons are invaluable.
Rip currents account for more than 80 percent of rescues performed by beach lifeguards, according to the Red Cross.
The organization said that those that find themselves caught in one of these powerful water currents should:
- never fight it.
- swim along the shoreline until they are out of the current.
- remain calm and float or tread until they can swim out of the current.
Even though the water has quieted down, visitors are still thinking about the recent drownings in the area.
'It's very sad that they come down on vacation, and then they have to experience something like that. It's horrible,' said tourist Randall Grammer.
Gulf Shores and many other beach towns display colored flags along the beaches to inform swimmers about the water conditions that day.
- The most serious is a double red flag, which means it's illegal to enter the water.
- One red flag means the surf is high and there are dangerous currents.
- A yellow flag indicates that ocean conditions are rough but not-life threatening.
- A green flag is an all clear sign meaning that it is safe to swim.
- A blue or purple flag means a potentially dangerous ocean animal has been spotted, so swimmers are swimming at their own risk.

Karnataka Government on Monday discussed "precautionary measures" to be taken in the wake of the Telangana government submitting a formal petition to the Centre to reconstitute Krishna Tribunal to ensure equitable share in distribution of waters to the newly-formed state.
Chief Minister Siddaramaiah, legal experts, technical experts and principal advisor (water resources) held a meeting to take precautionary steps in the wake of Telangana government's petition, Water Resources Minister MB Patil told reporters here.
A Telangana government delegation on July 14 had met Union Water Resources Minister Uma Bharti and asked for reconstitution of the Tribunal to look into fresh reallocation of Krishna river water among the four riparian states - Telangana, Karnataka, Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh.
The meeting was convened after the Krishna water Dispute Tribunal had issued a notice to Karnataka Chief Secretary Kaushik Mukherjee asking for the state's position on the issue, Patil said.
Making Karnataka's stance clear, Patil said there is no question of making any changes in the final decision made by the Krishna Water Dispute Tribunal.
Also, as per the parameters of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act 2014, Patil said it is clear that the issue is between Telangana and Andhra Pradesh and hence there is no way it is connected to Karnataka. "Even the parameters of the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act 2014, it is clear that it is matter between two successive states," he added.
The Telangana delegation, which had met Bharti, contended the allocations made by Bachawat Commisson in 1973 and Brijesh Kumar Tribunal in 2013 did not specify water allocation to the Telangana region and had only made allotments to the three riparian states of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh.
Due to this, there had been injustice done to projects in Telangana region by the undivided Andhra Pradesh government all these years, the delegation had complained.

Decent training treats
posted 7 years ago
My mother gave me a bag of these after she gave up trying to use them on their dog. These trainers seemed to work well with my GSD, but I can see where some large breed dog owners might find them unhelpful.
Pros: Easy to carry in your pocket
Cons: A large dog may not be satisified with these as a reward

Between Riverside and Crazy Bares Its Wounds
By Tom Sellar
The namesake characters (whose offstage love interests are all named José María) and, in Repertorio Español's production, their geographically untraceable (Spanish) accents point to a universal everywoman. But when tension comes to a boil, the two elder Cristinaswho could at times pass as sober, Hispanic versions of Ab Fab's Edina and Patsystart trading insults: "Barbie!" "Medea!" "Circe!" "Bernarda Alba!" Basta. That Bust boasts two catfights too many says less about the Spanish playwright Ernesto Caballero's gift for slapstick than it does about his gender. For all the professor's feminist theorizing, only a guy could have written this play.
The eager cast compensates with aptly outsize performances. Steuer, in particular, milks laughs out of every line with impeccably timed double takes and Benny-esque pauses. But a recent matinee saw a bit of audience participation as people blurted out her predictable punchlines before she had a chance to deliver them. Director Alejandro Samek keeps a brisk pace, punctuating brief scenes with blackouts and bouncy sound effects. (One wonders how the simultaneous English translation, available via headphones, can keep up with the fast-flying puns.) Yet even at an intermission-less 70 minutes, this Bust feels, well, padded. Satire works best when scalpel-sharp; this one is only skin-deep.

"It will do much better than expected in the U.P. polls"
It is up to Sonia to decide on brainstorming session Rahul to begin roadshow in Bundelkhand today
New Delhi: Senior Congress leader Arjun Singh on Sunday said his "gut feeling" was that his party would do "much better" in the Uttar Pradesh Assembly polls than people's expectations. "Though I have not gone there, my gut feeling is that the party will do much better than people expect it to do," Mr. Singh told PTI.
Mr. Singh, who is also the Union Human Resource Development Minister, said that while nothing had changed in the politically crucial State, the people there would have to decide whether they were getting what the Constitution meant to provide for them or they wanted "the kind of rule they have today." Mr. Singh had said already that the Centre would take all Constitutional measures to get the Supreme Court stay on the OBC quota in elite educational institutions vacated. He had also made it clear that the Government did not want any confrontation with the Supreme Court.
"All this is the decision of the leader," Mr. Singh said, asked whether he favoured the holding of a brainstorming session of senior leaders such as those held in Pachmarhi in 1998 and Shimla in 2003 to generate fresh ideas about the way ahead in the wake of the party's latest debacle in Punjab and Uttarakhand. "All this is the decision of the leader. No one needs to advise Congress president Sonia Gandhi. If she feels necessary, she will have it."
On whether Rahul Gandhi's roadshow meant that he would be more active in the days to come, Mr. Singh said he had already been active. PTI

I will mull it all over... and be getting my boat ready. Regardless of Bermuda, I've got a lot of sailing to do this summer!
If I do head to Bermuda, I'll post on here how it ends up going.
Fair winds. Please do consider sailing on crewed, well-found boats first around 200 miles out, in preferably harsh weather. It's 100% of the experience at 10% of the risk of doing it alone in a boat possibly not up to the task.
In the meantime, the U.S. East Coast isn't often a lee shore, so get out there and shake some stuff loose. You have from Boston to Nova Scotia some beautiful and technically challenging (tides, lobster pots, nav hazards, fog) sailing that is also well-served with "outs" should you get in over your head...so to speak!

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday met President Pranab Mukherjee and submitted his resignation. He was asked to carry-on in a caretaking capacity till his successor is announced and comes forward to take over.
He has since left the premises. Earlier, before their meeting the Prime Minister arrived in the forecourt of Rashtrapati Bhavan in a cavalcade of cars accompanied by his security detail. The car carrying the Prime Minister moved into the inner area.
Earlier, addressing the nation on his last day at office, Dr. Singh said his life and tenure as the Prime Minister has been an 'open book' and, added that he has done his best to serve the country. "I address you today for the last time as Prime Minister of India," said Dr. Singh in his short address to the nation. "As I have said on many occasions, my life and tenure in public office are an open book. I have always tried to do my best in serving this great nation of ours," he added.
He also appealed to the people of the country to respect the judgement that they have delivered, and said that the just concluded elections have deepened the foundations of country's democratic polity. "Ten years ago, when I was entrusted with this responsibility, I entered upon it with diligence as my tool, truth as my beacon and a prayer that I might always do the right thing," he said. Crediting people for the country's successes, Dr. Singh also said that there is still vast latent development potential in the country and everybody should collectively work hard to realize it. "I wish the incoming government every success as it embarks on its task and pray for even greater successes for our nation," he added.
Dr. Singh, the 13th Prime Minister of the country, will be tendering his resignation to President Pranab Mukherjee later today. He led the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government from 2004-2014. On Friday, Dr. Singh congratulated Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi over his party's win in the Lok Sabha elections.
The BJP-led NDA secured an absolute majority in elections for the 16th Lok Sabha by claiming 337 seats. Of these, the BJP won in 283 seats. Among the other 15 parties in the coalition, only the SHS (19 seats) and the TDP (16) managed to achieve double digit figures. In contrast, the ruling UPA could manage to win only 58 seats. Of these, the Congress won 43, its worst electoral performance since 1977. The remaining nine members of the ruling coalition could manage only single digit results, with the NCP coming second with five seats, and the RJD with four.
Friday's result was the largest anti-incumbency vote in India's history. It was driven by a desire for change and anger against corruption and the sluggish economy fanned directly or indirectly by the Congress-led UPA regime, which was in power for a decade.
It also represented the people's hope for a better India under BJP prime ministerial nominee Narendra Modi.

Donald L. Burton, DVM
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Dr. Burton on November 18th after an intense battle with ALS (Lou Gehrigs Disease). At his passing, he was surrounded in love by his wife Susan, and their daughters, Stephanie and Kristen.
Dr. Burton founded the Ohio Wildlife Center in 1984 and Animal Care Unlimited in 1986 with the commitment of spending his lifetime fostering and strengthening the human-animal bond, both domestic and wild. Throughout the years, both organizations have thrived due to Don instilling his spirit, dedication and passion into others. For the all too brief time we had with him, we are honored to have known this amazing man and his influence will forever be felt in our lives and in our profession.

What should I do?
Hey guys,
So, in a few weeks time, I'm going to be starting my subscription again and I'm going to get a large amount of Zen (the 9600 package). Now the thing I am wondering is what you would recommend I get with it. I'm going to get the Vesta since I've heard good things about it (I was planning to get the Andorian escorts but they aren't worth it for the amount of money), but once I've got the Vesta bundle, I have no clue what I want to get next. I'm thinking of turning around 1k of it into dilithium (Since dilithium is ALWAYS useful :cool:) and the rest of it into Master keys and maybe sell them or take my chances and open some boxes.
What do you guys suggest?

Book 2 is here and so is a stupid writers block. *sighs* Anyway, Chapter 1 will be posted tomorrow if I happen to be able to get to it.
Also, as promised, this story, Book 2 of the Midnight Chronicles is dedicated to InSaNiTy-of-reality, the first and most likely last for a while, reviewer of my first book. She/he (sorry,) was an excellent supporter and is one of the few who actually wanted a sequel, and to let you guys know, The Midnight Chronicles is indeed an ongoing series of a total of most likely eight or nine books!
Anywho, thanks for the support you guys, especially you Insanity! *smiles* Hope you guys enjoy what's to come of this one!
Another thing, in my profile, I have somewhat of a poll thingy, asking my readers of Midnight to tell me who they think is a better main couple and I would really appreciate if you guys answered it. Would it be Kailar? Or Samsky? Let me know, okay? Thank again~!
Beginnings and Ends
The name's Skylar Kane Midnight, I have pitch black hair, pure sky blue eyes, I look like a girl, and can turn into a dragon. You may have heard of me from my little mission on a planet called Pliera, a planet tamed by the very same dragons that many people thought were legends and myths, although I know better.
I should first explain a few things huh? Well, this all started on my seventeenth birthday; when my uncle had finally showed up after nearly two and a half years and tells me some pretty surprising info after taking me to another planet!
Granted, it was cool, but it was still pretty freaky for me.
Anyway, I had met some interesting people on the journey, including the tamers Saige and her dad Ashter, as well as Kliro and Jace, and the queen too. And I met some cool dragons as well, including my very own dragon best friend, Lyo, or as he likes to be called, Ilyona. I also met the prince of the kingdom but I'm not sure if I like that fact anymore since he tried to kill me near the end, along with the damned priest who started this whole thing.
Another thing, the priest looks almost exactly like Uncle, and I still have yet to ask him about it, since I'm sure he knows something about the guy.
It's been a few weeks or so since I returned from Pliera back home, back to Sammy and the others, and since then not much has happened. I found out that my parents really did disappear so I had to stay with Samuel for the time being and school was pretty lame so nothing much happened there. The guys had also thrown me a very late birthday party and we had a blast, eating cupcakes, popping balloons, annoying Sammy, teasing James, and playing Soccer during most of it.
I'm really happy they're my friends and I couldn't have asked for anyone better, especially not since I had Samuel with me the entire time.
But back to now, life is great, back home; until I get a surprise visit from an unknown messenger animal and a little note along with it that makes Samuel livid.

Come In
GEoRGiA is the moniker of London-based producer and multi-instrumentalist Georgia Barnes. Her debut EP 'Come In' - written and recorded entirely by herself in her home studio - is released on a limited 12" through Kaya Kaya. GEoRGiA cut her teeth drumming with Kwes and can also be found playing with Kate Tempest and Kaya Kaya co-founder Cherish's band Juce! Now this little lady has some massive talent and it's pretty easy to see why. 'Come In' could easily be Kate Bush fronting The Knife while 'Be Ache' could be the sound of DJ Screw twisting up Art Of Noise' "Moments In Love' for the NTS generation. 'Digits' pulls out into a more new wave direction, smothered in blips while 'Hard Like This' gets angry, GEoRGIA taking all comers down with her solo fire and compressed rhythms. Mark our words, this girl's talent is huge and she is going to shine much, much brighter than any of her employers to date.

- How to select precision resistors for 4–20 mA current loop
- Yuval Hernik, Points are well taken and 4-20mA look sure has some serious consideration if wires run too long or likely to be subjected to ESD of 25kV. There is some smell of Vishay products publicity in it but I think that is all right as long as it serves a purpose. Dr. Shyam

- Dual, low-noise JFET has low capacitance and high input impedance
- I agree that Linear Systems has done a great contribution in not only developing the replacement JFETs but also their own better specifications. I want to try these parts myself. I have tried their other now noise low current parts also and improvement in input capacitance is good one for high frequency applications. 4pF is just great. Dr. Shyam

- USB module performs 24-bit dynamic signal acquisition
- I think it is a very good development and I want to evaluate one. Dr. Shyam

- Detect charged bodies with electronic electroscope
- This circuit perhaps can be used to test differential charge stored on a capacitor if capacitor has 1nF and above value and voltage on capacitor is sufficient enough to trigger the 4011 IC Gate (2X threshold). As there is no protection, extra voltage may damagee the 3011 IC Gate. Normally C1 will remain charged and C2 fully dischrged. Condition is to be reversed to see any change in the output. Perhaps this circuit can capture static charge from free ions in air and then it can reflect in the output. If large area charge collector plates are connected to electrodes then it will easier to collect charge. 10M+10M impedance with 100pF capacitor likely to see input as open circuit and can pick up EM from power lines and output may flicker randomly. Movement of people or hands around circuit may also trigger. This design is not proper.

Toxic Birds May Get Poison from Beetles
Eating certain beetles may make the skin and feathers of some birds poisonous.
You've heard of poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders, maybe even poisonous frogs. Have you ever heard of poisonous birds?
The island of New Guinea has several types of rare birds that are, in fact, poisonous. These birds carry toxic defensive chemicals known as batrachotoxins. The same substances are also found in some of the poison frogs that live in Central America.
The insect-eating hooded pitohui from New Guinea is about the size of a jay.
|John Dumbacher
For more than a decade, scientists have been trying to figure out where the birds get their bite. The animals are not born with the poison, so they have to pick it up somehow from the environment.
Now, researchers from the California Academy of Sciences in San Francisco say they've found a possible source: a little-known beetle that belongs to an insect family called Choresine.
In New Guinea, tiny Choresine beetles—each only about 7 millimeters long—carry a poison and may pass it along to insect-eating pitohui birds.
|John Dumbacher
Poisonous birds were first discovered by John Dumbacher in 1989 when researchers were using fine nets to catch and release forest birds in New Guinea. Among the birds trapped for study were pitohuis, which would scratch and bite the researchers' hands.
Dumbacher found that the cuts stung. His reaction was to put a cut to his mouth. Immediately, his mouth went tingly and numb.
In 1992, scientists figured out what the toxin was, but they still didn't know where it came from. So, Dumbacher asked New Guinea villagers if they knew of plants or insects that cause tingling or numbing.
One resident mentioned the Choresine beetles and then went off and collected some of the tiny insects. When scientists tested the beetles, they found batrachotoxins.
Researchers have found a nonpoisonous Choresine beetle inside a pitohui's stomach, and they know that these birds do eat other insects of this size.
It's possible that both the beetles and the birds collect the toxin from somewhere else entirely. Most likely, though, it's the beetle-eating that gives the birds their numbing bite.—E. Sohn

It may be the first Booth feature for newcomer B Smyth, but the Motown-signed singer already has friends in high places. On his major label debut single, Leggo, Smyth is joined by stripper-loving labelmate 2 Chainz. You might think that the Atlantia native would steal the show from the youngster, but rest assured that Mr. Smyth does his thing. Smyth's confidence in the spotlight shines, as he delivers a catchy, crowd pleasing vocal performance over a clap-heavy, Harmony produced track. Leggo is not attached to a larger project as of right now, but keep your browser locked for more from the Ft. Lauderdale crooner.

Since December 2005, the Koha project repository has been moved to Savannah:
After a two year cycle of intense development efforts Koha 2.0 is now being released! Early release copies of Koha 2.0 have been deployed in libraries in France and the United States for over 6 months. With this new release, we expect Koha to be deployed in many more libraries around the world.
Koha 2.0 is a major upgrade to the Koha 1.2 system, including features like: a fully templated web interface, translation tools and translations into french, chinese, and polish, and best of all ... full integration with MARC (both UniMARC and MARC21).... read more
The SIU (http://www.siu.edu.ar) has contributed a spanish language translation of Koha to the project. Their contribution coincides with the creation of a mailing list for further development of Koha for spanish speaking users. You can subscribe to the mailing list by sending mail to email@example.com and following the directions you receive.
Koha (http://www.koha.org), the world's first Open Source Library Automation System, has been awarded the prize in the 'Software for Public Administration' category of the Trophees du Libre (http://www.tropheesdulibre.org) in Soissons, France. Paul Poulain, Koha's release manager for the upcoming 2.0 release, was on hand to receive the prize -- Koha's third award since its initial deployment in early 2000.... read more
This release adds a lot of bugfixes (thanks to everyone who's
helped!), a first cut at z3950 support, and a script for migration
from other ILSs. This is release marks a feature freeze pending the
2.0.0 release. As always, this release is available from
1.9.3 requires a newer version of MARC::Record than previous versions
of Koha. Please make sure you're running MARC::Record 1.26. We've
also made a few more tweaks to the Database Schema. If you've already
installed an earlier version of Koha, you will need to update your DB
to reflect these.... read more
Koha 1.9.2 has just been released, and can be downloaded from:
Please note that 1.9.2 is another alpha quality release in a series which will lead to Koha 2.0.0.
* Koha does NOT work with MARC::Record 1.12. It works fine with MARC::Record 0.93, and maybe with other versions.
* In the MARC search, the "not" flag does not work, the result of these queries is very strange !
* en and fr are the only languages well supported in this version. Other translations will be brought up to date shortly.... read more
Koha version 1.9.1 (a development snapshot of the upcoming 2.0 series)
was released earlier today by Paul Poulain, the Koha 2.0 release
manager. This new release represents a great deal of work by Paul and
the other Koha developers. It also marks the beginning of a code
freeze and QA effort, there is only one group of features left to add
and all other work on the 2.0 series will be bug-fix related. This
code freeze will be lifted after the 2.0.0 release is made.... read more
Koha is a free integrated library system. It has been in active use since the beginning of 2000. Today, the Koha project has reached a new milestone.
Koha 1.3.0 has been released. This release marks the beginning of public development and testing of the MARC compliant Koha we've been Looking forward to. As the 1.3 releases stabilize and reach feature completion, they will become Koha 1.4.
This is an alpha quality release only. *DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE IT IN PRODUCTION SYSTEMS* It may cause data corruption or loss, it may confuse patrons, it may cause books to refile themselves in strange places. *IT SHOULD BE USED FOR TESTING ONLY*. (I hope that's clear enough.) If you are want to use Koha in a production setting, please stick with the stable 1.2 release until the 1.3 series stabilizes enough for us to create Koha 1.4.0.... read more
Its finally here!
Nearly a year since the last release, we have a new stable release of koha.
The main new features in this version are:
- Can search by dewey number
- Keyword Searches can be restricted by a dewey number
- Can restrict a catalogue search by a class of items
- Simple acquisitions module
- Deleting borrowers checks their accounts for reserves, current issues,
and fines
- New catalogue maintenance section

The development of a self-storage facility generally begins with a comprehensive market analysis of the proposed project area. New owners and/or developers will usually hire a third-party specialist to conduct a detailed feasibility study, which will identify market demographics and other key metrics to determine the viability of self-storage in a particular location. Once a site is chosen, an engineer and architect are hired to design a self-storage facility that will maximize the investment in the land, including the site layout and unit mix. The developer, builder and/or owner may need to meet with local residents and the planning and zoning board to discuss the community impact of the project and the aesthetics of the individual buildings, including landscaping, building height, door color, etc. Owners might consider a multi-story building to maximize their footprint, or converting a building from another use to self-storage to widen their options.

South Africa may be forced to play Monday night Vodacom Super 14 matches after the Australians threw their support behind New Zealand's proposal of expanding the match day schedule.
Fox Sports rugby boss Matt McKeown told The Dominion Post that Monday night rugby featuring the eight Super 14 teams from New Zealand and Australia should be a reality next year.
McKeown revealed that a joint broadcasters' submission to Sanzar last year for games to be played on Thursdays and Mondays was rejected by Saru. But it will be raised again at the next meeting in July, with New Zealand's Sky TV and Fox Sports adamant the three-day window for games has to expand next year.
"We're very much in favour of that and think it would be a great move forward," McKeown said, echoing earlier comments by Sky's head of sport, Kevin Cameron. "Rugby in Australia is looking to push hard and attract a bigger audience. The only way to do that is when you're not competing against other sports."
By playing games on Thursday and Mondays – when league and AFL do not regularly feature – rugby would be exposed to "new eyeballs", McKeown said.
While South Africa rejected the push to expand the playing schedule for this year's Super 14, The Dominion Post claims unions can now only reject a broadcasting request on the basis of player welfare.
