Latest NewsMontana hail insurance deadline approaches, Hoeven asks the Senate to eliminate the Waters of the U.S. rule and USDA provides an update on disaster assistance.

Mont. hail insurance deadline approaching
• HELENA, Mont. — With some much-needed rain falling across most of Montana, now is the time to evaluate crop insurance needs. Montana farmers and ranchers can still purchase state hail insurance until Aug. 15 by calling 844-515-1571 or visiting www.agr.mt.gov/agr/Programs/Com modities/HailInsurance to obtain forms. With last year's record hail insurance claims, the Hail Board purchased reinsurance to ensure that any and all claims made by Montana producers covered by the state hail insurance program will be paid. County department of revenue offices will no longer be processing new policies. Instead, they will be providing information to interested parties on how to begin the process. Forms are also available at Montana State University Extension offices and conservation district offices. At the request of producers and authorized by the State Legislature, the dry land hail insurance rate increased to $75 per acre and $114 per acre for irrigated land. The Hail Board also approved a 5 percent premium increase. Producers should contact the Montana Department of Agriculture to discuss coverage and rates.
Hoeven: Eliminate Waters of the US rule
• WASHINGTON — In a speech on the Senate floor, Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., called on the Senate to stand up for farmers and ranchers and vote on an amendment he is cosponsoring that prevents the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the Army Corps of Engineers from finalizing their proposed Waters of the U.S. rule. The proposed regulation would significantly expand federal authority to regulate small wetlands, creeks, stock ponds and ditches under the Clean Water Act. Hoeven says the amendment, which is sponsored by Sen. John Barrasso, R-Wyo., and supported by 29 senators, should be brought up for a vote during the current debate on the sportsmen's bill. "We have the lowest-cost, highest-quality food supply in the world," Hoeven says. "Now the EPA, by its own volition, is going to go out and make it harder, more expensive and more difficult for our farmers and ranchers to do what they do better than anyone in the world. Farmers and ranchers have to work through uncertain weather and markets to ensure we have food security, and they don't need the burden of additional regulations and litigation. They certainly don't need that burden under the auspices that EPA says, oh somehow this is going to help you. Well, that's not the case." Recently, Hoeven pressed U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack to work with him to eliminate the proposed rule and to address widespread concern among farmers and ranchers about the regulation.
USDA provides update on disaster assistance
• WASHINGTON — Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack provided a 12-week progress report on U.S. Department of Agriculture disaster assistance programs July 10, announcing USDA has processed 106,000 payments to farmers in 40 states across the country who suffered livestock and grazing losses between October 2011 and passage of the 2014 farm bill. "Farmers and ranchers who waited two and a half years for a farm bill are now getting some relief," Vilsack says. "We met the very ambitious goal to get these programs up and running in just 60 days." FSA staff, as well as temporary employees hired to expedite the application process, have processed more than $1.2 billion in payments to qualifying farmers and ranchers. The first payments were sent out within two weeks of enrollment. USDA estimated roughly $2.5 billion would be provided in disaster relief to cover losses from October 2011 through September 2014. If those estimates prove accurate, it would mean nearly half of all disaster payments have already been provided. While disaster relief is a critical lifeline that can prevent farmers and ranchers who do not have access to crop insurance from being wiped out by weather-related losses beyond their control, most producers only receive support equal to 60 percent of their actual losses. The Livestock Forage Disaster Program and the Livestock Indemnity Program provide payments for grazing losses from drought and livestock deaths as a result of adverse weather; the Emergency Assistance for Livestock, Honeybees and Farm-Raised Fish Program provides assistance for livestock, honeybees and farm-raised fish losses from disease, weather, wildfires and colony collapse disorder or for losses not covered under other disaster assistance programs; and the Tree Assistance Program provides financial assistance to eligible orchardists and nursery tree growers to replant or rehabilitate trees, bushes and vines that were lost or damaged by natural disasters. Producers affected by adverse weather should contact their FSA county office to make an appointment and learn if they are eligible for disaster assistance.
Farmers with CSP contracts can re-enroll
• Farmers participating in the Conservation Stewardship Program can renew expiring contracts until Sept. 15, the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Natural Resources Conservation Service says. CSP offers farmers five-year contracts to secure and enhance conservation on the land they have in active production. To renew a CSP contract, farmers must visit their local county NRCS service center. Farmers opting to renew contracts will be expected to keep existing conservation improvements in place and also add one additional enhancement to their farm. New CSP contracts for 2014 are currently being evaluated by NRCS, with contract offerings for farmers expected in mid- to late-summer. In terms of acres covered, CSP is the largest conservation program in the nation, with nearly 60 million acres enrolled.
Briefly . . .
• Tractor accident: An 86-year-old rural Brainerd, Minn., man died July 8 after apparently being pinned by a tractor. The Cass County Sheriff's Office reported the man lived in Sylvan Township of Cass County, which was also the site of the accident. The man was pinned between the tractor that was rolling in reverse and a fifth-wheel trailer hitch. Shortly before 6 p.m. the sheriff's office received a report of the incident. Responders arrived and found the deceased man.

2013 Dakar - On 4 wheels
The Saffers and Over Drive boys have their new weapon ready for testing.
Lower CoG
Bigger more torquey Lexus engine
And a wider stance.
It does look the business!
Toyota SA has unveiled the livery for its 2013 Dakar Rally Hilux bakkies and invited keen fans to
"join the team"
to win a Hilux (sans race stickers) of their own.
new Hilux being prepared
is for the gruelling 2013 edition of the Dakar Rally but Toyota SA's Motorsport division called a halt to the proceedings for one evening to provide some feedback on the
2012 baptism-of-fire
and the great expectations ahead of the January 1, 2013, race start.
In 2012 the rapidly assembled Toyota Hilux team, under the guidance of Glyn Hall's Hallspeed, sent four SA-built bakkies across the Atlantic Ocean to contest the route between Mar del Plata, Argentina and Lima in Peru – and finished with three in the top 10, including a podium finish for Dakar veteran and 2009 winner Giniel de Villiers and his German navigator Dirk von Zitzewitz.
Perhaps as testament to the success of the Toyota Hilux debut performance Calvyn Hamman, Toyota SA's vice-president for sales and marketing, announced that Hallspeed had been approached to prepare eight Hiluxes for the 2013 event.
"There are more nerves this year," Hamman said. "We're better prepared but still have high expectations. The mood has changed: for 2012 we said 'go and do your best'. For 2013 we say 'go and win!'"
He was being dead serious. Hall and De Villiers agreed.
De Villiers said: "We're expecting a lot of very strong teams but we're in a better position than we were last time. We will, again, depend on the reliability of the Hilux. We have a chance for victory.
"The rules have come a little closer to us (we ran to the 2013 rules this year), we've done some good testing and we've built a Hilux that's even stronger."
In the 2012 Dakar, the SA-built Hilux was the only team to run under the new rules that will be enforced from 2013. The new Dakar rules are based on those used in SA's local off-road championship; Hall admitted "we're testing all the time".
The most notable rule change is that teams must use a production engine and Toyota, in 2012's T1.5 category, claimed the top three finishers under the new rules, using a 4.6-litre V8.
"For 2013," Hall continued, "we've applied some technology 'below the line' that should make us faster and we've addressed two things raised by Giniel. We've extracted more torque from the (new Lexus-sourced) five-litre V8 and, through chassis adjustments, the Hilux also has a lower centre of gravity and is slightly wider than the last car."
Duncan Vos and Rob Howie, current leaders in the SA Off-Road championships, will again campaign the second Toyota SA Hilux on the 15-day trek across the three South American countries. They
finished 10th
in their debut Dakar in 2012 and will contest the 2013 race in the older car.
Driver Vos said: "We won't be as in intimidated as we were last year. We'll attack and drive with more confidence. With the new rules and the knowledge gained, it should be a great race. I'm confident we will be competitive, even with the older car."
Preparations for the 2013 challenge are well under way. The initial construction of the chromoly (chromium and molybdenum) tubular steel space frame chassis and roll cage is almost complete and will soon be handed over to the assembly team.
Hall said: "In addition, we've been making spare parts to support our and customer Hilux owners' Dakar efforts and we've also been supplying assembly kits to the Belgian Team Overdrive which has begun building its own SA-designed Hilux racers under licence. They're manufacturing the chassis in Belgium, we're supplying all the components."
The two Dakar Hilux bakkies will be subjected to shakedowns and additional dune testing before being loaded on to pallets and flown to South America in mid-December.

Strawberries and Sour Cherries are only U-Pick-M .
Peaches usually in August and we try to include sweet corn and tomatoes during that time so the customers have a few items to pick. Doesn't always work but we try!
Usually peach picking happens on weekends. But they will want to confirm all dates the morning before coming because of weather. Apples start in mid August and run until mid October.
As long as they are on the trees we let people pick. Pumpkins with the last weekend of September.

Selections of projects engaged with the cultural and social impacts of technology
AboutArebyte gallery is happy to present âNext Brave New World', an exhibition featuring a selection of projects from graduates of the Royal College of Art which engage with the cultural and social impacts of technology. The projects all inspect different aspects of possible future scenarios through the lens of speculative design, technological developments and social and political narratives. Echoing Aldus Huxley, the show âNext Brave New World' is asking to look at the gaps between utopian and dystopian circumstances and asks us to re-examine the processes leading to the construction and de-construction of these fantastic worlds, and aims to create a thread which observe the role of the individual as part of different agencies such as society, nature, capital, happiness and culture. The featured projects raise questions such as: What is happiness and must we achieve it? Must governments change to accommodate new needs and desires? How will vanity and hedonism evolve with our use of technology? Can we create new forms of life to enhance our experience of nature? And how might our concepts of space and time change as we look past our own Life times and undertake to design this Next Brave New World?

I am getting blasted with questions about the Viliv X70EX UMPC that arrived yesterday, so I felt I had better offer up some further impressions after having used it for a day. I have taken some additional photos to show the size in the hand a little better and one super-short video that shows screen rotation. I am getting good use out of the X70 already — even better use than the smaller S5.

14 / 17X70 lower left
15 / 17X70 upper right
16 / 17X70 lower right
17 / 17X70 uBoard keyboard
I find the X70 very nice to use with an external keyboard and mouse in "desktop" mode. I get the size benefit of the little 7-inch EEE PC but retain the utility of a full-sized keyboard when needed. I used it this way almost all day today and didn't feel like I lost any functionality at all. The screen is the perfect size for the 1024×600 resolution and I can easily see everything with the UMPC sitting on the table in front of me.
I do a lot of web surfing and have adopted a method that works well for me. I rotate the screen to portrait orientation using the Intel Graphics utility. It has hot-keys configured for rotation (CTRL-ALT-ARROWS) and can rotate in all four orientations. The x70 is comfortable to hold in the hand this way, even for long periods, and web browsing using Firefox with the Grab and Drag add-on is a joy.
The touchscreen is not as soft to the touch as that of the S5 but still works well. I do find the larger screen makes operating the interface by finger much easier than on the S5 and I don't reach for the stylus often at all. The uBoard keyboard is working nicely on the big screen; I can use it like a thumb board easily in either orientation. That's how I'm rotating the screen back and forth as well.
The 1.3 MP webcam does a decent job with Skype, though that's the only thing I've done with it so far. It's a stretch to keep moving the X70 until the camera field of vision is in the correct place as it is on the far right of the device. Sound quality is pretty good for this. I enjoy listening to music through the stereo speakers; the volume is loud enough and it sounds pretty good for a small device. Listening through headphones is very nice and the included audio utility makes it easy to tailor the sound to the music playing.
Reading e-books with eReader Pro in portrait is awesome. I can display a very full page and read to my heart's content and turn the page either by tapping on the lower part of the screen or even with the D-pad controller. I'm enjoying it so much that when I go back to the iPhone I'm not liking that device as much as I did before.
The speed of the X70 is very fast, as I would expect from the SSD. Opening programs and folders is nearly instantaneous and it's a great computer on which to do even serious work. Rebooting the system is quick (I haven't timed it) and sleep/resume is just a few seconds. It's a very full computing environment with the keyboard and mouse, as evidenced by writing this right now. I don't feel I'm sacrificing anything — the mark of a very good device.
The X70 has integrated 3G but I haven't been able to test that yet. I have the AT&T SIM in my iPhone and a T-Mobile SIM but I can't use either one to test it. Using the iPhone SIM would violate my TOS and could get my account canceled. The same is true of the T-Mobile, but I'm going to cancel it anyway so I don't really care. The problem is that T-Mobile U.S. 3G isn't compatible with the 3G bands of the rest of the world so even if I can get it to work, it will be EDGE only. I'll have to think about that for a bit and if anyone has any thoughts, please share them.
I'm going to continue to use it and report on how that goes. I have taken some photos, as mentioned, so have a look. You can compare the thickness to the S5; the X70 is even thinner than that and as a result feels good in the hand. Take a look at the video, which I knocked off really fast using my still camera. I couldn't edit it, so excuse the few seconds in the middle as AVG decided to update the AV definitions after I started shooting.

Quark matter, the densest material imaginable, is beginning to excite new interest among physicists. In Norway, a group of researchers is claiming that the densest stars may be made of such matter, rather than neutrons. And in Australia, physicists are already planning to search for 'globs' of quark matter in cosmic rays, spurred on by reports that Japanese physicists have already detected them.
Quarks are the hypothetical building blocks from which familiar particles, such as protons and neutrons, are made. Theorists believe that quarks bind in threes to make protons and neutrons. A free quark would stand out because of its unique electric charge, either 1/3 or 2/3 that of the electron, but theorists have reason to believe individual free quarks cannot exist. That hasn't stopped experimenters looking for them, however.
The densest matter allowed by conventional physics is that of a neutron star. Such a star is essentially a ...

As you pointed out later, this is easy to check on your own.
At the risk of catching flack from people who don't approve/like using healbot I have a question regarding using healbot and the trinket off of Primordius. I picked it up last night and the equip effect of your heals casting an absorb bubble on your target. Does that mean the target of the heal? Or, the person you are targeting at the time that it procs? My dilemma is that when using healbot I am never actually targeting anyone as usually i'm targeting a boss or add for melee swing mana regen. Will the trinket therefore just put the bubble on me?

data generated are rarely published or shared with non-industry investigators; data gathering is biased against recording events that may negatively affect approval; and the drugs under investigation are ones expected to generate high profits.
Those individuals in agencies who might fund grants in these areas acknowledge that more needs to be spent but point to a lack of interest within their agencies and a lack of organizational structure that promotes this type of research. They also point to a lack of competitive applications. They emphasize the lack of vocal public advocacy for these topics. There has been little political support for this type of research from the major cancer disease groups, cancer survivors, or scientific and professional organizations (aside from specific topics related to their interests). Issues of end-of-life care and symptom control are detached from the mainstream of perceived urgent research needs and are viewed as of substantially less importance than research focused on cure or prevention.
POTENTIAL SOLUTIONS Packaging may be important. As has been pointed out, end-of-life, palliative care, and symptom control issues are components of the whole enterprise of cancer care, and elements of research in these areas are critical to all cancer patients. The biology of the symptoms of dying shares much with the biology of cancer symptoms throughout the disease spectrum. Research on improving the quality of cancer care in general will benefit those with advanced disease. It is possible that labeling efforts as "end of life" and as "palliative" may unnecessarily restrict funding considerations and enthusiasm for support. This issue is clearly controversial and political and needs substantial discussion. Support for this discussion, perhaps from a private foundation, could move it forward.
Even before a full discussion, there is an immediate need for additional funds earmarked for advanced disease and symptom control research grants and contracts. Thus far, there is very little targeted funding, but in a one-time limited program in 1998 that resulted in a request for applications developed jointly by several groups at the NIH, the response from the research community was enthusiastic (more than 120 applications were received, approximately 20 of which were eventually funded).
Public and private funding agencies and disease advocacy groups must be informed about the needs and opportunities for research in this area, especially the unnecessary suffering that patients with advanced cancer endure because of inadequate care. The same need exists for academic institutions and cancer research organizations. A reasonable and modest investment could be made by a foundation to explore how public advocacy of these research efforts might be improved.

The Unstoppable Force vs. The Immovable Object
Sometimes, the obvious storyline entering a game isn't the most important or impactful one. But Seattle's Super Bowl 48 hopes really do rest on whether its secondary can stop Peyton Manning and the Broncos' vaulted passing game
Sorry Peter King, except for that game you mentioned, where Sherman specifically asked to shadow Boldin, they just don't do that.
It's just not going to happen.
I don't think that's the matchup that will decide the game anyway. The matchup will be Seattle's offense against the Broncos defense. Specifically the Broncos have been decent against the run, but have yet to face anything even close to Seattle's, and if they sell out to stop the run (as they will have to do), then how will they stop Wilson with a fully healthy Harvin from eating that very bad secondary alive?
Maxwell, Thurmond and Lane are very good as well and would start on most teams. Many QBs have tested them with very little success.
@RobKnorr LOL. Your overblown sense of your team's running game is hilarious. Denver's played the #1, #5, #9, #10 (twice), #12 (twice), #13, and #14 running teams in the NFL in the regular season. They also played two of those teams one more time each in the playoffs and held both teams to less than 65 yards rushing.
Heck, Seattle's running game isn't even 20 yards better per game and only 0.2 YPC better than Denver's is. Denver's running game has even scored two more TDs than Seattle's has.
@MitchellEcland Drew Brees threw for over 300 yards and no picks against Seattle in the playoffs, and Marques Colston torched the secondary for 11 receptions and 140 yards. That's what happened against an offense with only two receiving threats when one (Jimmy Graham) was being keyed on.

Daily Tech Deal: Roberts CR9971 radio alarm under £20
Going back to work after the Christmas break can be tough, with one of the trickiest aspects perhaps being hauling yourself out of bed in the morning.
Not that this will make it any less painful, but the Roberts CR9971 alarm clock is on sale for £19.61 at Amazon.
The radio gets an instant time set, auto summer/winter time function, MW/FM wavebands, auto dimmer and wait for it - a snooze feature.
Yes, the functions are basic but for under £20 it seems like a bargain and with radio alarms often not being looked upon favourably, especially at 6.00 in the morning, it's perhaps not something you would want to spend huge amounts of cash on anyway.
For a full rundown of the product as well as to buy click through on this link and we'll have another tech deal for you tomorrow.

David Allen's Getting Things Done personal productivity scheme suggests you track the next physical action you need to do for each of your projects. Once you finish that action, you immediately identify and record the next. This leads you inexorably towards your goals at the same time it clears your brain of "open loops," outstanding and amorphous need-to-dos that distract and disturb you. But might there be benefit in postponing deciding what the next step is until you're ready to act?
Kevin Rutherford puts the lean programming principle "decide as late as possible" in practice on the to do list he maintains for software changes. He's recently switched from identifying actual code changes on his to do list to listing the problem he needs to address. He finds it gives him better results:
I have no idea how, why or when this change happened, but I'm pleased it did. Between the time I write a particular to-do item and the time I finally get around to executing it, I may significantly change the code in that area. Or I may learn something about the code and where it wants to go next. Or the problem may disappear, as a side-effect of some other change. Either way, the solution I might have on my to-do list has a chance of being inappropriate now that the code and I have moved on. So by listing the problem as I originally saw it, I'm giving myself a much better chance of creating the right solution for it – because I'm deciding on that solution in the presence of the full facts.
Perhaps this applies to more than just software development to dos. Postponing decisions on what action to take allows you to optimize the action at the time you do it. For many tasks this isn't necessary. If you need to go to the grocery store, it doesn't make much sense to write "problem: refrigerator is empty" on your task list. For more creative projects, however, it might allow you to move forward with more agility and less angst at the time you update your to do list.

Yet another lawsuit by a large company who's bitching and complaining that someone is giving the public a more cost-effective way to do the same thing their company is doing while raping your wallet to do so. $5000+ vs $300... hummm, who's unethical now and overcharging for no good reason?
Speech app pulled from App Store that gave 4 year old a voice for the first time
The speech recognition app Speak For Yourself for iPad has given 4 year old Maya Nieder a voice of her own for the first time. Due to a lawsuit concerning several patents, the app has been pulled from the App Store. Her parents worry if the app is removed remotely they may lose their new found communication channel with their daughter.
Speak For Yourself uses augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) communication technology. It has allowed Maya's parents to really get to know her for the first time. This type of hardware and software typically would cost around $5,000. With the iPad and about $300 additional dollars they've been able to actually get to know their daughter's likes, dislikes, and how she's feeling.
"Maya can speak to us, clearly, for the first time in her life. We are hanging on her every word. We've learned that she loves talking about the days of the week, is weirdly interested in the weather, and likes to pretend that her toy princesses are driving the bus to school (sometimes) and to work (other times). This app has not only allowed her to communicate her needs, but her thoughts as well. It's given us the gift of getting to know our child on a totally different level."
The pending lawsuit is between Heidi LoStracco and Renee Collender, speech pathologists and the creators of Speak for Yourself, and AAC device makers, Prentke Romich Company (PRC) and Semantic Compaction Systems (SCS), who both make AAC hardware. They are claiming that the app infringes on over 100 patents they currently hold. They have requested that Apple remove the app while litigation is pending. LoStracco and Collender have already counter filed claiming that the suit has no basis.
At the moment, we still have the app, securely loaded into her iPad and present in my iTunes account, and Maya remains blissfully unaware that anything has changed. Dave and I, however, know better. We are now shadowed by a huge, impending threat.
While the Nieder family currently has access to the app they worry that if the courts require the app to be pulled indefinitely that Apple may remote pull it and they will lose the only way they currently have to communicate with their daughter.

Speech app pulled from App Store that gave 4 year old a voice for the first time
The parents are freaking out about nothing. There is zero evidence that it will be remotely removed from their iPad. While Apple has the ability to do this, they have never exercised that ability. Common thought is that they have the kill switch built in to stop a truly bad app such as malware/virus.
You miss the point entirely. Apple reserves the right to do this at their sole discretion, for any reason, at any time, without warning. This means their child's continued communication is in the hands of a corporation, which, though generally well-intentioned, has shown itself inconsistent at best with any App Store related policy. No sane parent is going to risk their child's well-being on those terms.
Regardless of which company is in the wrong, the parents themselves are powerless to impact proceedings in the courtroom, but Apple, at least, has shown itself sensitive to the court of public opinion. The parent's best, only option to take control of this aspect of their child's health is to raise the issue publicly, and make it a PR disaster for all parties involved to remove the App.
They are protecting their child, with the only tool they have at their disposal, and any parent in that situation would do the same thing.
Seriously? So we're going to put money over the ability to help people communicate?
As an autistic adult, this actually sickens me.
This sounds like apple to me
You don't need to turn wifi off. There are many many apps that apple has pulled that continue to work fine iOS update after update. Apple simply stops selling the apps, they don't remove them.
The family is NOT overreacting in general, the fact that this very useful app isn't going to be supported/improved/updated, is reason to be upset.
Pulling the app from the store and pulling the app out of their system are completely different ideas. Apple has never pulled an app out of their system but there has also never been a case like this that could legally require them to do so.
I'm not a fan of Apple as a corporation, but this story is sensationalized.
If the app does infringe on patents, it should not be sold. Period. Maybe the other options cost a lot more because a lot more development went into them.
Or maybe the claims are baseless. In that case, I can still hardly blame Apple for pulling the app, it's far easier than dealing with any kind of legal paperwork. I'm sure they do it all the time.
However, I DO blame Apple for not giving any other purchase options in their closed ecosystem. With Android they could buy directly from the developer if they'd like and this wouldn't be a story at all.
I realize the role of the parties involved, my point is that if Apple didn't pull the app when requested legal action may have been taken against them. So it was probably easier to do before it came to that, and it is probably pretty common for them to do so.
And again, if this were Android, the party being sued could still provide the app and updates directly to the consumer. Since the consumer would still have access to updates and wouldn't be worried about Apple taking it away, it never would have been a story in the first place. Not sure how you can dispute that, unless I wasn't clear in the first post.
Point being, this headline is sensationalizing by implying Apple is taking away some poor handicapped kid's only way to communicate, but on the other hand Apple put themselves in that position with their refusal to open their platform to other app vendors. So they won't get any sympathy from me.
Actually, while both Apple and Google have a "kill switch" to remotely remove apps from devices, only Google so far has actually used it. This case might force Apple to use it, which is what scares the parents.
Of course, theoretically, the developer could provide the app via some other, more private means on Android. Likewise, they could distribute the App through other channels on iOS (ranging from just sending the parents the Xcode project to just deploying it to them via beta testing provisioning - probably under a different developer account and bundle identifier to avoid detection). Realistically, though, going this route while being sued over infringement would open up a huge legal can of worms for the developers, whether on Android or on iOS, and they very likely wouldn't (and shouldn't) provide the app to the parents "privately" while the lawsuit were pending.
I agree with you in general (even though it is heartbreakingly unfortunate for the family), I just don't agree that the family would be in a better position on Android than they are now on iOS. Either way, if the platform provider hits the kill switch, the app is gone, and on both platforms, it's unrealistic to believe the family could legally get the app via other means directly from the developer (even though on both platforms it's technically possible). And of the two platform vendors, Google is the only one to actually have thrown the kill switch. Apple didn't, not even over the VLC debacle (I bought VLC back then and can still download it from the store; you just can't buy it anymore).
Yes, you are probably right that I am unrealistic, but the tone of the devolopers make it sound like they are still willing to sell the app. Probably easy to say that when you're not the one being asked to stop selling it under threat of further legal consequences. The option would be there in Android if the devoloper wanted it, which may or may not apply in this particular case.
Not to bright are ya?
No, they can't. Not as easily, at least. Apple, like Google, has a remote kill switch with which they can remotely delete apps from your devices as soon as they connect to their servers. Google has used this ability in the past, Apple hasn't yet.
One could probably circumvent this by either disabling the data connectivity on the iPad (impractical, since the app likely needs an internet connection to function), or block Apple IPs on the home network for the device (harder to do, and since Apple has never used the kill switch, we don't really know what to block).
Troll alert.
As the father of 2 autistic children, I feel for the Neiders. However, this has far further reaching implications. I know for a fact that many special needs schools have begun rolling out Ipads with accessibility apps to their students. The reasoning is sound: $5k for one of the specialty devices that before now were the only option, or $400 for an ipad plus a couple hundred more for a ton of apps.
I can understand the suing company and their patents. Still, the parent in me finds it hard to be sympathetic to a business that's charging 10x more than a device that provides the same services (while being more flexible and capable).
Sounds like ONE of the perfect reasons for jailbreaking. You can simply toggle off the killswitch from SBSettings. I for one have been using the feature since my first device (iPod 2G).
No one but me should be able to take things off of my device. Hooray to Apple for having the foresight to implement a killswitch, but boo for not letting people make decisions for themselves.

LAS VEGAS—Treasury and finance professionals gathered at the Opening General Session of the 2013 AFP Annual Conference Sunday to hear a keynote address by General Colin L. Powell. Speaking before a standing-room-only crowd, Gen. Powell shared his perspective on leadership, which has guided his illustrious career and made him one of the most highly revered figures in history. He also shared his thoughts on some of the most pertinent issues today, such as the political gridlock in Washington and healthcare.A decorated four-star general, Gen. Powell served as the 65th Secretary of State (2001 to 2005), Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff (1989-1993), National Security Advisor (1987-1989) and Commander of the U.S. Army Forces Command (1989). Throughout his career, he was known for using the power of diplomacy to build trust and forge alliances. Gen. Powell discussed the insights he gained serving in the top ranks of the military and in four presidential administrations, which are the basis of his new book, It Worked for Me: In Life and Leadership. The basis of Gen. Powell's leadership philosophy are his 13 Rules:
Gen. Powell noted that the rule about optimism is especially crucial for treasury and finance professionals and relates specifically to the 2013 AFP Conference's theme, ideas multiply. He explained that in the in battle, you put all of your forces together to execute a strategy. "The rule says that optimism is a force multiplier—meaning simply that you do everything you can to gain an advantage over the situation, and you don't do it in a linear fashion," he said. "You do everything you can to multiply your force, so when the enemy thinks perhaps he's facing one increment of power; he's facing four increments of power. And one of those increments is your very great spirit of optimism."So as you think about the things you're going to study for the next couple of days before you go back to your organizations, just remember that one of the great things you have to do as you plan your battles, as you deal with your daily challenges, is to make sure that you always create a sense of optimism within an organization. And not only do you need to have it, but you have to infect everybody who works with you with a sense of optimism."Gen. Powell added that as an investor, his interest in the day-to-day responsibilities of treasury and finance professionals has increased significantly in recent years. He has tremendous respect for practitioners because he understands their importance. "You play such a vital role in the financial institutions of America, Canada and the other countries that are represented here," he said to the attendees. "You're the ones that guys like me are supposed to believe in. You're the ones that are protecting my interests. You're the ones that have to have the moral fortitude to say to somebody that is in a management level above you, 'Hey, this isn't right. We can't do this.'"On the current political gridlock in Washington, Powell emphasized that even though problems persist, he still sees a "built-in optimism" in the U.S. "I only wish I could bottle up what I see out in the countryside, bottle it up and take it back to Washington, D.C. and pour it over the heads of all our politicians and tell them, 'You guys better get going; they're really getting mad out there. We're going to fix you guys if you don't fix yourselves,'" he said. On healthcare, Gen. Powell explained that he didn't want to get into the problems with the healthcare.gov website that have been dominating headlines. Instead, he simply stated his position on the issue. "In a country with all our wealth, and all the money we spend on healthcare, we should be able to have universal healthcare like our Canadian friends do, for every single citizen," he said. This statement drew thunderous applause from attendees.Gen. Powell concluded his speech with some leadership advice to attendees. He noted that the most high-performing organizations are the ones that have built bonds of trust. "Don't always think that you're the smartest one in the room; usually you're not," he said. "Always take advantage of the human talent that you have within an organization. The science of management says you can get 100 percent out of an organization. The art of leadership says if you do it right you can get 120 percent by giving them a purpose and inspiring them. Motivation isn't enough. You want people inspired. That's what I've tried to do throughout my career."

CORAL reefs and mangrove forests can provide food, income, coastal protection and building materials for millions of people. But the economic benefits of these resources are being rapidly depleted as a result of over-exploitation. As farmlands shrink and lose fertility, people migrate to the coast to find jobs. As a result, human populations along tropical coasts are doubling every 20 to 30 years.
For some tropical coasts it is already too latebetween 40 and 50 per cent of the world's mangroves have already been razed. And five years ago I estimated that 10 per cent of the world's reefs had been destroyed. The reefs on the north coast of Jamaica are now beyond redemption. And in 10 to 20 years, 30 per cent of the reefs off South and Southeast Asia, East Africa and in the Caribbean could go the same wayunless there is effective management.
Unfortunately, a few island ...

By NATHAN GREGORY
The Oktibbeha County Board of Supervisors and the Starkville Board of Aldermen officially agreed to a contract which will create an extra eight bed spaces at the county jail for people arrested by the Starkville Police Department.
SPD previously had an agreement with Clay County Jail to house 15 of its inmates. SPD's agreement with Oktibbeha County Sheriff's Office whittles that number to seven.
SPD Chief David Lindley said the new spaces in the county jail will be designated for short-term prisoners, while the remaining spaces in CCJ will be for those serving substantial time.
"We were able to work with (OCSO Sheriff Steve) Gladney, and he has agreed to accommodate us where we can have eight beds guaranteed each night, which will save us a considerable amount of time and money in regard to fuel, transport costs and convenience over time," he said. "(This) should cut our transport trips down considerably, and we don't have to pull people in on overtime to cover short shifts while somebody is in transport."
Lindley said SPD recently has been responsible for transporting prisoners to Clay County due to the end of its contract with North Atlantic Extradition Service last year. This, he said, was taking patrolmen off the streets and causing shifts to be short on manpower.
"If you look at a round trip to West Point, by the time you get over there, pick the prisoner up and get them back here, it's about an hour or more off patrol. That usually causes the shift to be short, so it's really been problematic," Lindley said. "We didn't have this problem when were using (NAES), but we no longer have the contract ... so it fell back on us and that's caused difficulties in the last few months."
OCSO will charge SPD $30 a night for each bed space while Clay County will charge $35 for each of its beds. The costs cover meals, uniforms, guard services and monitoring along with the beds themselves.
SPD will cover any medical costs for inmates, Lindley said.
"If it's a city prisoner, the city is responsible for any cost outside of your beds and your meals," Lindley said. "Any additional costs, like medical, have always been taken care of by the agency responsible for the individual until such time as they're bound over in lower court to await the action of the grand jury. Then they become a county prisoner. If it's a true city prisoner awaiting city court, we have to pick up any expenses other than what's covered in the basic housing agreement."
Gladney said he believes the contract is beneficial in terms of keeping more money in Starkville and Oktibbeha County.
"I think it's a good situation for the county and city. Now (SPD doesn't) have to carry prisoners down to Clay County, and they're guaranteeing us money to house them, so I think it's a good deal for both Chief Lindley and myself. It will certainly save money on fuel costs," Gladney said. "If I've got room, why shouldn't we keep them? I wanted to try to help if I could, and we were able to work this out."
OCJ administrator Jimmy Vaughan said the agreement is practical not only from a taxpayer standpoint but also because the jail has the spaces open for use.
"(In) part of our old jail for county inmates, there was a segment there that was not highly utilized, so we'll dedicate one section to people who are trustees (non-violent offenders) and another block for non-trustees; that way, we can keep the city prisoners together in one cell block," he said. "(We will) dedicate a cell to the city (prisoners) on the main floor. If there are females in those eight beds, we'll utilize beds we have on the female side (of the jail)."
If all the spaces in OCJ and CCJ are occupied, Lindley said, there are alternative options.
"There is a possibility (OCJ) could have additional space depending on what their inmate population is at the time. We will house (prisoners) there if we can, but we'll also use Clay County as a backup because they have a larger facility," he said. "We try hard to stay within the 15 allotted positions as best we can. That will fluctuate depending on the number of arrests."
Lindley said the idea originated from a conversation he and Gladney had last year when Gladney was working in Starkville City Court as a bailiff.
"He saw we were having quite a bit of trouble with logistics, and when he decided to run for sheriff, he and I talked about this being one of the things I would like to see get resolved," Lindley said. "He worked with us on it, and we are really appreciative of it."

Nairobi — Kenya's oil find is commercially viable, British oil Exploration Company, Tullow Oil Plc. has confirmed.
This confirmation marked another milestone in Kenya's search for the precious commodity in the wake of erratic global oil prices and a fast growing local economy.
In a statement released by Tullow Oil Wednesday, the company said the fourth test on oil deposits at Twiga South-1 well had confirmed real signs that the oil find was commercially viable. The tests have been ongoing for the last two months.
According to Tullow Oil, the company is conducting a fifth test with indications it could produce over 500 barrels of oil per day. This will in essence take the total flow to 0ver 2,850 barrels per day for that specific well.
"With this confirmation, the team is encouraged and very optimistic of the whole process. we are now moving to Ngamia 1 to perform similar test. These tests provide the first potentially commercial flow rates achieved in Kenya," read the statement.
Ngamia 1 and Twiga South-1 are approximately 30km apart and analysts believe that the entire section could be holding oil deposits.
Tullow first discovered oil in Kenya in mid-2012 and the first find has led to sustained exploration efforts with more and more firms coming in to be part of the exercise.
This year, Tullow plans to drill an extra 11 wells and carry out extensive tests that would inform the company's further activities in the area.
Both oil finds are situated in South Lokichar in Kenya's arid Turkana County. The government has already formed a taskforce which is currently engaging all stakeholders including local communities to forestall any clashes related to the find given that the area is known for hostilities like cattle rustling.
"We will continue with further exploration and appraisal efforts in this basin before the commercial threshold is achieved. Only after this can we enter the next phase which are discussions to do with harvesting," read the statement.
Exploration efforts in Kenya are currently concentrated in the arid areas of Turkana, Marsabit and recently in Nyanza province's Nyakach District where there are other prospects for oil.
