"Hidden Away" Ban Bang Saen (2) by Hewer
Ban Bang Saen (2) Travel Guide: 40 reviews and 42 photos
I have been to Bang Saen twice. On my first visit, I spent four days there in January, 2005. I quickly realised I was on to something. This is a little piece of paradise hidden away from the tourist spotlight. I had never heard of Bang Saen before I went there, and now it's the first place that springs to mind when I think of Thailand. I could never have imagined a place like this still exists here, and only one and a half hours from Bangkok at that!
Bang Saen, or Ban Bang Saen, has a population of less than 10,000 and is part of Saensuk Municipality, which in turn belongs to Chon Buri Province. Pattaya is less than an hour away and while it seems to attract vast numbers of international visitors, Bang Saen is a local haunt.
One of the best things about Bang Saen was the large number of local restaurants and bars and the relaxed atmosphere everywhere one goes. The nightlife in Bang Saen is completely different to that of beach towns in Thailand I've visited. Virtually all of our fellow diners and drinkers were locals and the live bands that played from time to time were singing Thai pop or Thai versions of western classics. Pretty good too! One musician we came across was able to play ten instruments. i enjoyed checking out all the different bars. You can hop in a taxi bus and move from bar to bar. There are plenty of places to see and it's easy to get around.
The only 'adult' night life in town was far away from the beach area. It's present, that's for sure - just not not as obvious as in Pattaya or Phuket.
This was the view I had from my room during my first stay in Bang Saen. I was located in the center of town, meaning halfway along a 6 km strip of hotels, restaurants and residential houses which make up the town. This was definitely a tourist town, and it really got packed on the weekends. I guess it would be really full in the Thai school holidays. I saw less than half a dozen people that I guessed weren't Thai. The town had a whole different atmosphere and feel to it. You can take a stroll here and end up walking for hours - it seemed to always work out that way anyway.
Basically, Bang Saen has all the tourist niceties and none of the tourist nasties. It's clean and well looked after but there are no touts or hassles whatsoever.
If you really want a relaxing time, then this is probably the kind of place you'd like.
- Pros:No touts, no vice, great restaurants!
- Cons:No shopping either
- In a nutshell:One of the last secrets in Thailand....

This lodge that occupies some of Talkeetna's best real estate has great hiking trails and splendid views of Mt. McKinley. The views can be had from the enormous outdoor dining deck, the café and the fine-dining restaurant, the large lobby, the mountainside rooms in the main lodge ($415), and the third-story suites ($569). Other rooms in the lodge and surrounding cabins are modern and simple, with the emphasis on the property and not necessarily the views or amenities. The lobby has comfortable seating, a huge river-rock fireplace, and an espresso bar. The tour desk can arrange flightseeing, river trips, or any other Alaskan adventure you can imagine.

I stayed at the Talkeetna Lodge in August of 2008. I'm surprised that Fodos has this hotel lumped in with the Kenai, PWS, Homer grouping; I think it fits better with the Denali grouping. This lodge is located quite near downtown Talkeetna, but it would still be a 10-minute downhill walk (but we had a rental car). The lodge is nice, but the view on a clear day is spectacular. There's a great outdoor viewing deck where you can relax and have meals
and drinks. There are two restaurants: the casual one with both indoor and deck seating, and a more formal restaurant. The lobby has a nice public seating area with a dual-sided fireplace. We had a booked a standard main-lodge room, but were given a mountain-view room at check-in, which was an upgrade since it included a sofabed, coffee table, and small refrigerator. There was also a desk and chair, easy chair, and bench seat (which we used for our luggage). It was wonderful to be able to watch the sunset (although that was 10:00 pm) right from our room. We were on the ground floor of a three floor building; the top floor would be ideal, but we were able to remove the screen from our window and hop out to take photos, which wouldn't have been possible (or maybe necessary) from the top floor. The sink area was outside the bathroom, which I always find helpful when more than one person occupies the room. Shampoo, conditioner, lotion were provided, as well as a hairdryer, lots of towels, and comfortable bedding.

1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates generally to software tools and more specifically to Wizards.
2. Background Art
A software tool is a computer program that helps users perform specific tasks. One such known software tool is a Wizard. Software tools, such as Wizards, aid a user in creating various documents or help a user through complex procedures.
Examples of known Wizards include setup Wizards for the installation of software and document creation Wizards within word processing programs, which methodically step a user through the creation of documents. These known Wizards are not easily modifiable and are programmed in code. Wizards hide the complexity of the program from the user, allowing the user to quickly achieve results that would otherwise require much training and skill. Since the programs hide complexity from the users, the programs are often complex themself. Accordingly, an easier way to create and maintain Wizards, and to modify Wizards, is desired.
An example of a Wizard for creating a facsimile coversheet is shown in
Initially, as shown in
Thereafter, a user selects a next step 6 entitled recipient, and new questions and predetermined possible answers are then displayed in display portion 10 b corresponding to the recipient portion of the facsimile document. Step 8 then provides for various types of coversheets to be created, based in various types of fonts for example, and step 12 thereafter allows for modifications of the document relating to the sender, wherein a default name could be entered for example. Finally, upon reaching step 14, the document is completed.
By using the Wizard as shown in
Additionally, many tasks do not have predesigned Wizards to simplify them. Further, many manuals involve complex inter-dependent procedures which need to be simplified in some way to be more easily understood. Accordingly, a need exists for Wizard-type software tools in many environments, including the simplification of procedural manuals.
The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for creating a customizable software tool. In essence, a software tool or Wizard builder is created which prompts input of process or procedural steps and a plurality of selections or answers associated with the steps, stores the input process steps and associated potential selections, and creates a software tool based upon the stored process steps and associated potential selections. As such, a software tool can be created which is easily creatable to suit any environment or problem, and which is further modifiable by the addition or subtraction of process steps and/or potential selections.
The present invention will become more fully understood from the detailed description given hereinbelow and the accompanying drawings which are given by way of illustration only and are not intended to limit the invention, wherein like reference numerals represent like elements and wherein:
The present invention is directed to a method and apparatus for creating a software tool, such as a Wizard, to enable a user to easily create a customized tool for performing a specific task, without the need of complex programming, and to enable a user to create a tool which is easily modifiable to meet specific needs. Such a created tool can be one used to simplify a complex document, or to methodically step a user through the creation of an often used document, for example. Thus, unlike known Wizards which are complex to program and which are preprogrammed and non-modifiable, the software tool creation method and apparatus of the present invention enables one to easily create new software tools for any procedure or situation, and further enables the creation of tools which are easily modifiable to provide for the utmost flexibility.
The software tool creation method and apparatus of the present invention is preferably implemented in an apparatus 30, for example, including a CPU 32 operably connected to a memory 34 and an interface 36, and optionally connected, through a second machine interface 38, to any external machine.
The memory 34 stores the software tool creating method or program, the contents of which will be described in more detail with regard to the software tool creator or Wizard builder of FIG. 3. The memory 34 can optionally store a relational data base from which a software tool can be created, including a state table such as shown in
A state is essentially a step in a procedure, with a state table being a table of a plurality of states in a procedure and corresponding attributes for each state. A state transition table is one that defines movements from state to state in response to a given input. Thus, in response to an answer selected, the state transition table defines a next-state in a procedure, and additional attributes. The relational data base, including such state tables and state transition tables, can be one as shown in, for example, either one or both of copending application Ser. Nos. 09/182,637 and 09/182,493, respectively entitled "Method and Apparatus for Storing Data as Liquid Information" and "Method and Apparatus for Amplifying Design Information into Software Products", each attributable to the inventor of the present application and each incorporated herein by reference.
The interface 36 can be in the form of an integrated input and display apparatus such as a touch screen, for example, or can include separate input and output interfaces such as a display (output) and a keyboard and/or mouse (input). Alternatively, or in addition, the inputting and outputting of information can be done audibly through a microphone (input) and speaker (output) wherein questions and choices of a created software tool, or prompts for creating a software tool, are audibly output to a user. Accordingly, the interface for inputting and outputting information to and from the CPU 32 can encompass known input and output devices.
Machine interface 38 provides access to an external machine. Thus, the software tool creator of the present invention can implement a software tool including process steps requiring information from an external machine, such as a computer. In the created software tool, the external machine may be designated to provide information in various steps of the created software tool.
For example, a software tool can be created by the apparatus and method of the present invention, which requires data from an external machine. This can be implemented in a process step. In creating the process step, the step is designatable as either a human type or machine type, with the machine type requiring use of a machine interface 38.
A software tool which has been created to implement a machine step may display something to a user during that step, but will not require a user selection. Instead, the machine interface 38 will contact an external machine, provide the external machine with a request for information, and await receipt of the information from the machine. Upon receiving such information, the created software tool then proceeds to the next step, either requiring more machine information or requiring input from a user. Such a machine interface 38, for example, can include a URL address, accessing a particular computer website on the worldwide web, for example, and thus requesting receipt of information external to the apparatus 30.
Wizard builder 100 of
Next, "procedure" 106 is displayed by the Wizard builder 100, prompting input of the procedure title or process to be implemented by the Wizard builder 100, in a second window 108. This procedure 106 will not normally change as the various states change (although a software tool can be created which takes a user through multiple linked procedures), and is an indication of what is being implemented by the Wizard builder 100, namely what is the title of the software tool.
The example software tool shown in
As shown in
A starting state window 114 and an ending state window 116 are also displayed by Wizard builder 100, prompting a user to indicate when a certain step is a starting state (first step) or an ending state (last step) in a procedure.
Element 120 is a "new state" button which can be accessed via a mouse or touch-screen for example, as can "apply state" button 122 and "delete state" button 124. Once information corresponding to the state 102, procedure 106, and question or procedural step 140 is input by the user, a state is then applied and the "apply state" button 122 is selected. If a state is no longer desired, the "delete state" 124 button is selected. If an additional state or step in a process is desired, the "new state" 120 button is selected. Thus, any created software tool is easily modifiable by the insertion of new steps or deletion of unwanted steps.
Display area 130 of Wizard builder 100 shown in
Wizard builder 100 further displays "question" 140, prompting input of a question or procedural step to be carried out in another window 142. Thus, the question corresponding to the second state or second step in a process, such as "is configuration simplex or duplex?" in the current example, is input in window 142. As previously stated, a state can be a procedural step for a human to execute (or a question for a human to answer), or a machine state. With regard to machine states, if the machine state requires access to a computer, for example, a computer address may be necessary. Accordingly, the Wizard builder 100 includes a prompt 144, prompting input of a URL address into a window 145. Since the present example shown in
Another section of Wizard builder 100 shown in
The "next state" section 150 includes a section prompting an answer 150 a, a next state 150 b, and/or a next procedure 150 c. The answer is input by a user in a window 154, the next state is input to a window 156, and a next procedure is input into a window 158. As shown by element 156, a next state can be a next sequential state (such as step 3, proceeding from previous step 2) or can be a state which skips a next sequential state or step (such as step 4 proceeding from step 2). As shown by the entry in window 158, the procedure input is typically the same procedure as a previous state, although other procedures can be accessed.
An answer most recently input by a user into window 154, along with a most recently input next state and next procedure are highlighted and repeated in subsequent windows 154 a, 156 a, and 158 a. Additional potential selections corresponding to an input question or procedural step, input into window 142 for example, are also displayed in un-highlighted form, as indicated by elements 154 b, 156 b, and 158 b. Thus, a plurality of potential selections are prompted and can be input by a user, associated with each of the process steps or questions.
Further, although not shown, an answer or potential section corresponding to a question or procedural step can be a character string. In other words, the potential selection to a procedural step may merely be a blank area, requesting a user to input a string of characters. Such a lank area would then appear on a display screen of the Created software tool, along with its corresponding Procedural step.
In addition, the Wizard builder 100 also displays previous states in a third section of the display, as indicated by element 160, the previous states including a previous answer 160 a, a previous state 160 b, and a previous procedure 160 c. The previous states displayed in the windows corresponding to each of 160 a, 160 b and 160 c, include respective windows 162, 164 and 166.
Finally, additional buttons are shown on the Wizard builder 100 of
The "refresh" button discards any user-entered data in the current state and refreshes the screen with data from the database. With regard to the "sync main form" button, this is a type of sync button for the Wizard or software tool itself. It sets the current state of the software tool to the current state as shown on the Wizard builder 100 and brings the window (of the software tool) to the front of the display and makes it active. In other words, it is a way to immediately test what has been created based on entered data.
Additional buttons 180, 182, 184 and 186 correspond to the "answer" or potential selection section of Wizard builder 100, wherein a new answer or potential selection is added by hitting button 180; a new answer or potential selection is applied to an actual procedure or created software tool by hitting button 182 (similar to applying a state of the Wizard by hitting button 122); an answer or potential selection is deleted by selecting button 184; and finally an answer or potential selection is edited by selecting button 186.
Accordingly, through the use of such buttons, and through the use of buttons for new state, applying a state, and deleting a state, a software tool cannot only be created by the Wizard builder 100, but an existing software tool can be modified. For example, to add a step to an existing software tool, a stored software tool is first recalled from memory and the Wizard builder 100 then adds an input new step when the new state button 120 is activated. The state is then applied to the stored procedure as a new step when button 122 is activated.
Similarly, to delete a step from a stored software tool, the delete state button 124 is activated. Thus, unlike known Wizards which are preprogrammed and non-modifiable, the Wizard builder 100 of the present invention cannot only easily create new software tools for any procedure or situation, but can also modify existing software tools to thereby provide for the utmost flexibility.
Similarly, not only can steps or states be added, deleted or modified, but so can answers or potential selections associated with each of the process steps or state. If a new answer or potential selection is to be added, new answer button 180 is selected, and then the answer is then applied to an existing software tool by activating button 182. Similarly, an answer or potential selection is deleted by activating button 184, or is modified by activating button 186. This again allows for utmost flexibility such that an existing software tool, created by Wizard builder 100, is easily modifiable to suit a user's needs.
Finally, a button 190 exists for generating HTML (hyper-text markup language) file(s) containing properly formatted state transition table and state table information. It is used to generate procedure information in a form suitable for review, by people such as system engineers and procedure designers.
Note that while a display has been depicted in
Once information has been prompted and entered for states, state transitions, and answers, such information is assimilated to create a software tool. In the process, the software tool creator may form and store state tables with corresponding attributes, and state transition tables defining movement from state to state. From this information, software tools such as that shown in
Although not shown in
Additionally, the Wizard builder 100 a of
For questions, the simple way to do this is to prepend a marker (such as a dollar sign "$"). Thus, if question one is "What is your name?", and an answer of "Don" is entered, then a subsequent question may say "OK Don, what do you want to do now?"
As shown in
Finally, as shown in
As previously indicated, the interface 36 of the Wizard 200 can be visual or audible. Similarly, audible output or visual output are not limited to the English language. For example, in a section 270 shown in
The state table includes, for example, a first column 310, corresponding to the overall procedure or method. As shown, each of the five rows a-e of state table 300 all correspond to the same procedure, namely procedure 1. The second column of the state table 320, indicates a step in the procedure, such as step 2, step 3, etc. A third column 330, corresponds to an attribute of the step, indicating whether or not a step is a default step. In this example, only row d, the start step, is such a default step. The next column 340 indicates the text of the step, namely the question or process corresponding to the step.
The fifth column 350 of state table 300 corresponds to another attribute indicating the step type, namely human or machine. The sixth column 360 corresponds to an optional attribute, a URL address, wherein row d is the only step with a URL address. The final column 370 corresponds optionally to a terminal (ie, ending) state. Accordingly, input procedures, states, questions, etc., may be stored in a state table such as that of
The state transition table shown in
Accordingly, as shown in row a of
The Wizard builder 100, 10 a and 100 b of the present invention allows a user to read, enter, and edit information, such as information in the form of a state table and a state transition table for example, in an efficient way to create an effective software tool. Such tables are preferentially stored in a relational database.
To achieve the desired result, all states are listed in window 130 of
The top part of the bottom half of the screen (from window 150 and below) of the Wizard builder of
Hereafter, an example of a procedure implemented into a software tool by Wizard builder 100 will be discussed, along with display screens (screenshots) of the resulting software tool. The Wizard builder 100 of
Initially, in creating a software tool from the Wizard builder 100 of
The first step of
The question or process step input into window 142 of Wizard builder 100 of
Finally, since the only selectable potential selection is "ok", based upon the fact that the flowchart of
Somewhat similarly, in
Accordingly, as shown in
A second example will be discussed, utilizing
The procedure to be implemented in a form of a software tool (Wizard) is shown in FIG. 12 and includes steps S10, S12, S14, S16, S18, S20, S22 and S24.
To further illustrate the conditional step of the software tool screenshot of
As shown by the process step displayed in portion 510 b of
Finally, in the previous "states" section of Wizard builder 600, the previous answer "ok" is displayed in area 662; the previous state "step 1" is displayed in area 664; and the previous procedure "PROC 2", is displayed in area 666. Thus,
Moving back to the software tool created based upon the flowchart of
Again, when viewing
Thereafter, the process proceeds to step S24, which is reflected in the fifth screenshot 500 e of the created software tool shown in FIG. 18. The phrase "You are done with this procedure." is displayed in area 510 e. Since this is the end of the procedure, no potential selections are displayed. The procedure is again displayed as PROC 2 in area 550 e and the step, as indicated by step 5, is indicated in 560 e.
Accordingly, in this second example shown in
Accordingly, with the Wizard builder of the present invention, a user is prompted to input process steps of a procedure, and a plurality of potential selections, either visually or audibly for example. A state or step of the procedure is essentially a state of a finite state machine, and corresponds to a step of a procedure or question of either a human end-user, of another system or machine, or of another program of a machine. The Wizard builder 100,
Additionally, next states can be prompted, or automatically generated if only a single potential selection corresponds to an input process step. A URL address (world-wide-web uniform resource locator) may be used to provide additional information (such as "help", for example) and can be input into the Wizard builder. The Wizard builder can be used to designate a state as a starting state, an ending state, and also can prompt next state information or retrieve such information from a prestored state transition table.
As in any finite state machine, a set of state transitions, specifying how a machine moves from state-to-state in response to inputs, is prompted and input to the Wizard builder 100 of
In addition, the present invention should not be limited to an apparatus implemented by a CPU, memory and interface as shown in
Alternatively, as shown in
The invention being thus described, it will be obvious that the same may be varied in many ways. Such variations are not to be regarded as a departure from the spirit and scope of the invention, and all such modifications as would be obvious to one skilled in the art are intended to be included within the scope of the following claims.

Is Digg Still Relevant?
SmartBlogs.com recently asked if Digg is still relevant. Below is my comment:
"Great question and I think what you may be asking is "will Digg still remain relevant in the future". We know it certainly is still relevant today with 40 million visitors, 500 million page views a month, 20,000 daily submissions, 170,000 daily Diggs, and 19,000 daily comments (source: http://gigaom.com/2010/03/11/digg-cassandara/).
I think online news in general still isn't anywhere as social as consumers of that content want it to be so I still see Digg as very relevant. Other social networks may have more users but many of them are "closed" where Digg for the most part remains "open". I think Digg is smart by tapping into other social networks to improve its algorithm. I found the revenue portion of the article most interesting. Digg most likely is concerned with the amount of content and data Facebook has to draw upon from their users. Likewise Digg surely wants to get as much information from their users to gain insight in the likes and dislikes of its users so they can serve up and sell very personalized ads."

Does anyone feed this?
I'm a bit skeptical on it because it claims to be low NSC but has wheat, oats and corn in the first six ingredients..
I am currently feeding Hoffman's Ration and I feel it is more complete and lower NSC.
Currently I'm feeding horses who tend to carry excess weight, and one who is young but I suspect to be IR, or at least NSC sensitive. Both horses are in a moderate to heavy work load focused on dressage (short periods of intense work) rather than endurance (but it's finally nice out so I should be able to make it to the CC course for some conditioning soon).
Opinions on one versus the other?

Heroku versus Cloud Foundry from an Educator's Perspective
There are several useful comparisons between Heroku and Cloud Foundry, including this one and that one. I am going to add a brief educator's perspective.
Why APaaS in the first place? To have a common reference platform for students to deploy to from day one. This eliminates the common last-minute deployment problems.
My specific requirement is to support the technology stacks I have chosen for pedagogical reasons for my web application and web services courses. (In both courses, we pay considerable attention to architecture.)
- Scala
- Play framework for web apps
- spray for RESTful web services
As a platform, Cloud Foundry is open-source, while Heroku is closed-source. Fair enough. But what are the relevant differences from my perspective?
- With Heroku, your application needs to have a main class as its entry point. You structure your application using Foreman and push the source to the cloud using git. Building, staging, and deployment then take place again in the cloud. If these steps work on your local machine using, say, Maven or sbt, they are very likely to work the same way on Heroku.
- With Cloud Foundry, your application must be packaged as a war to run on Tomcat 6, in the case of Java or Scala. The build process takes places on the local machine, you push a war to the cloud, and this hard-coded server staging logic is invoked. The problem is that you are stuck with the default blocking Java connector! Because spray requires the non-blocking (async) connector, this means that you cannot deploy spray to CloudFoundry.com for now. If you know a workaround, please let me know!
- Both have various useful add-ons, such as relational and NoSQL databases, message queues, etc.
- Heroku has a free tier, while Cloud Foundry has a free trial and it's final pricing structure has not been announced yet.
For these reasons, I ended up choosing Heroku for this spring semester. I'm quite optimistic that it's going to be fun.

Respond to Review of CLOSED: Jack Sprats Vegetarian Vegan Cafe
by Jayjazz
Review: Went here last night before a gig. Had vegan fish and chips which were awsome my fella had spinach burgar which he really liked also. Had a chocolate bun which I didnt think was that great but flapjack good. Only let downs were toilet not very nice (I do like a nice toilet tho haha) and though it was a tiny bit over priced but cant really complain as they are catering for a small market and the girl did give us a free cake and the menu we were given looked like the daytime cafe menu rather than the evening menu which is on the website. Def worth going for vegan fish and chips tho! Overall awsome

From underneath the wave, Democrats saw their shadow -- and it's a forecast of seven more weeks of campaigning.
One more time, for old time's sake -- this thing is a race again. (How's that for a hope and a dream?)
It turned out that Brett Favre was the only veteran to retire on Tuesday: Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., didn't even need to lower the bar to clear it -- the streak was snapped after Vermont made it an even dozen, with Texas, Ohio, and Rhode Island coming through for Clinton.
It had been a long month between victories (and may still have been too long -- the delegate count looms large), but it's enough to shift the scrutiny to her rival, as Camp Clinton pushes the storyline of buyer's remorse.
As for Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., Tuesday makes three swings for the fences -- and three whiffs. If you want to beat a Clinton, you have to make sure you've finished the job.
(Obama is still the frontrunner, but if Obama thinks resting on a delegate lead is enough, he skipped 16 years' worth of Clinton-delivered lessons. Who better in Democratic politics today to reinvent math?)
And Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., sees his lucky streak continue: He wins twice on Tuesday -- sealing up the nomination, and guaranteeing another round of Democrats doing his dirty work for him. Clinton and Obama rejoin the battle of the decade on Wednesday, while the GOP enjoys a Rose Garden photo op that's the very picture of party unity.
Clinton is taking on Obama by means of trying to take on McCain. "This election now is not only between Sen. Obama and myself. It is, in the voter's mind, between one of us and Sen. McCain. I think that's why I did so well last night," Clinton said Wednesday on ABC's "Good Morning America."
"I think national security is the issue against John McCain. I think it is not only legitimate, it's necessary to ask voters to determine who they would like to see as commander-in-chief," Clinton added. "Now it's a real choice, because we know who the Republican nominee is going to be, and I think voters are going to want someone who can stand up on that stage, toe-to-toe with John McCain."
(And decide for yourself whether Clinton's favorable inclination toward a Clinton-Obama ticket is truth-telling, pandering, condescension, or some mix of the three sentiments.)
Now it's Obama minimizing the import of a rival's victories. "Senator Clinton is tenacious, and, you know, she keeps on ticking, and we've just got to make sure that we continue to work hard in every contest," Obama told ABC's Diane Sawyer Wednesday morning on "GMA." "We had won 12 in a row. She won two. [Speaking of fuzzy math, it's actually three.]
"As you stated, these were states that she had huge leads going into it, and we closed that gap, but we couldn't close it as much as we'd like," Obama said. "It's going to be very hard for her to catch up on the pledged-delegate count."
These are verbs Obama isn't used to seeing attached to other people's names: "Her victories snapped his winning streak at 12 consecutive contests, rejuvenated her struggling candidacy and jolted a Democratic Party establishment that was beginning to see Obama as the likely nominee," Dan Balz and Jon Cohen write in The Washington Post.
The watchword circling inside of Camp Clinton: Restart.
The word inside Obamaland: Delegates.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Entertainment media company 21st Century Fox shrank its fiscal fourth-quarter loss after the owner of Fox News Channel and FX shed the publishing division that caused a big write-down a year earlier.
21st Century Fox loss shrinks after company split
The New York-based company controlled by Rupert Murdoch split from News Corp. in June to focus on its TV and movie business and separate itself from its challenged print newspaper operations.
The loss in the three months to June 30 came to $371 million, or 16 cents per share. In the same months a year ago, the loss came to $1.55 billion, or 64 cents per share.
Excluding the spun-off divisions and one-time items, however, Twenty-First Century Fox Inc. posted a profit of 31 cents per share.
Revenue rose 16 percent to $7.21 billion.
Analysts polled by FactSet expected adjusted earnings of 34 cents per share on revenue of $7.14 billion.
Shares rose $1.02, or 3.3 percent, to $32.25 in after-hours trading Tuesday following the release of results.
The company plans to include results for the publicly traded publishing company, which retained the original company's name, News Corp., in a securities filing in the coming weeks.
21st Century Fox included the divisions that make up News Corp. in its discontinued operations, which posted an operating loss of $1.35 billion, down from $2.15 billion a year ago. News Corp. contains TV channels in Australia as well as newspapers around the world including The Wall Street Journal and The Times in Britain.
21st Century Fox's pay TV channel revenue rose 16 percent to $2.95 billion, thanks to fee increases charged to distributors like cable and satellite TV companies, and a 10 percent increase in global advertising revenues.

So I took today off.. didn't want to deal with the madness of thanksgiving drivers. In the meantime, I caught up with playing more KOFXIII.
And its a solid game (even better than "shock!" SFIV?) Although I grew up with both series when they began. Just something about the designs that they've adapted just makes things too unexplainable. Plus I'm not honestly a fan of IV's Ultra's, they just seem a bit tacked on. KOFXIII is a different story.
King of Fighters XIII Review
Release date: 11/22/11 Worldwide
Dev and Publishers: SNK Playmore and Atlus USA
Online capable
PS3 and XBOX360
Let's Get Started! -
Welcome to a new installment of KOF fellow gamer. This review will be covering many different aspects of the newest chapter in the long running series. From mode: to changes, and a comparison towards another series.
Show me your moves! -
KOFXIII brings in series regulars from Team Japan, to Team Iori (with two fellow ladies whom many fans will recognize). Taking a page from where XII missed its mark, XIII makes up for its losses and delivers an entirely different experience than past games. Featuring several bonus EX modes, including NeoMax, and Hyperdrive. In fact a lot of these concepts were adapted from Fatal Fury and Art of Fighting.
For the newbies, this means that whatever move you use (as in special attacks) can double cancel, and include a secondary or third attack making it more powerful. In fact, some of the classic Desperation moves are now remixed into the Neomax (or Berserk!) moves. When used these attacks fill up the screen with colors that nullify an opponent's ability to counterattack. (There are in fact, more than 4 different types of attacks, practice learning everyone's skills) Plus it appears that the team member "switch on the fly' option has been taken away. This was from KOF2k3, so at will you could change partner's mid-fight. Now it's back to the original setup of one-on-one until your opponent drops to the ground.
Press Start! –
There is a helpful tutorial available for newcomers, or classic players. At first the "jump" takes some getting used to, even the EX moves require you to take them to mid-air cancels. Keep trying, and you'll get the hang of it. Within KOFXIII, every character has adapted with the new setup, but its also faster and no longer lags input. So every button press goes along with the players timing. For those button mashers out there, you've met your match!
Arcade – select your team, and get going!
Story – Find out why Ash took on this dark quest (includes the option of playing any team, and taking on all challengers throughout the in-game story).
Mission – Time Attack (obtain the best time while taking on opponents) , Survival, and Trial (master different move lists, and learn some new combos)
Gallery – Play through each mode to unlock some bonus goodies, from artwork, movies, and music.
Online – According to friends on the lovely interwebs, many have said mixed things about the online play. Some may experience good bouts with other players, or sometimes unplayable match ups. It all depends on players' internet connection. Btw you can also setup a team ready to go for online matches.
And setup custom colors for your favorite characters. (you can also unlock more color palettes, the more you play that specific character)
Music to my Ears – The in-game soundtrack is a electric romp of sounds that KOF is known for. Plus some tunes contain remixes of past tunes, giving them a new spin. For those who pre-ordered the game, we were treated to a collection of four cd's that contain tracks from past games. Featuring tunes in their original arcade sound format, and some with arrange mixes. The fourth cd is the track list from KOFXIII, and it is something definitely worth listening to. You won't be disappointed with this awesome assortment of tunes.
The Long Road Ahead -
Overall, KOFXIII is an awesome game that must not be missed. Although it has some tough competition, anyone who enjoys 2D fighters should pick this one up right away. On the plus side, this is KOF in its finest form, challenging, fun, and engaging. You will not be disappointed.

47 year old man | Atlanta, GA, USA | Seeking women 35-42 within 50 miles
Busy Professional over the "scene" and looking for Ms. right.
It is amazing how easy it is to narrow down what really matters to you as you get older. I am looking for someone who understands the value being honest but courteous and genuine. I have been very sucessful professionally. I am ready to settle down and share my life. My ideal match is someone who is responsible, mature, but also likes to let loose and relax after working a hard week. Also, she should maintain a fairly healthy lifestyle and enjoy traveling. I enjoy (when I can get time) eating out with friends, educating myself, and keeping up on technology. My job keeps me busy so I thought I would try Match.com as a more efficient way of meeting someone who shares my dating/lifestyle mindset.

For my birthday, we did something unusual. We went out to eat - with kids.
Two children under the age of 5 don't always make for a relaxing meal at a restaurant. Brunch is the meal of choice - the kids have eaten breakfast, so they're not starving, and no one is in need of a nap quite yet. (Although everyone, including parents, is in need of one by the time the meal is over.)
Our morning began with mimosas and ended with my youngest toppling into the knee-deep river, but in between we enjoyed a lovely meal with minimal fussing.
I have a favorite little spot in Paoli, a charming town of art galleries, shops and restaurants situated on the banks of the Sugar River. My preferred destination for a nice brunch or lunch is The Creamery Café.
You enter via an attractive mixed-media art gallery and then choose to dine indoors or al fresco. The menu is simple: salads, sandwiches and eggs made from local and organic ingredients. The offerings are fundamental classics with exceptional elements: think bruschetta sandwich with chevre or sweet potato quiche studded with piquillo peppers.
I enjoyed a roasted beet salad, which was great, but I was totally smitten with the accompanying bread. It was a slice of quick bread with a tender crust and the slightest overtones of dill and anise. It complemented the salad perfectly.
I emailed the café later that week and received a kind note and recipe from their pastry chef, Angie Derr.
Derr, a veteran pastry chef of 10 years, works at the Creamery Café and Lombardino's in Madison. She generously shared her recipe for yogurt and herb bread, a riff on Mollie Katzen's herbed bread in "The Enchanted Broccoli Forest." It's a recipe she is asked for often and even shares with her students when she teaches cooking classes at Orange Tree Imports in Madison.
The bread was a perfect foil to sweet beets and sharp greens, but it would be just as delicious toasted with butter for breakfast or used to make dainty cream cheese and cucumber sandwiches for a baby shower.
This bread would really shine at a summer get-together featuring a Scandinavian smorgasbord: a bountiful table filled with cold local Scandinavian specialties such as pickled herring, eggs, cheeses, mustards, pickled vegetables and potatoes enjoyed on their own, or made into open-face sandwiches. This savory herb bread would be a great foundation for egg salad, dilled havarti or cured salmon.
Enjoyed for dinner or brunch, this flavorful and versatile bread complements a diversity of accompaniments and toppings. It's perfect for a laid-back summer meal.
Buying recommendations: I used a plain Greek yogurt for this recipe. Alternatively, you could drain regular yogurt in a fine-mesh sieve lined with a clean dish towel over a bowl for several hours.
Make-ahead: Quick breads are hands down the easiest things to bake. Dump everything together, stir gently and scrape everything into a loaf pan.
Variations: This bread begs for improvisation: use your favorite herbs, substitute fresh herbs for the dried, use sour cream in lieu of yogurt, stir in diced bits of cheese - you are limited only by your imagination and your pantry.
Using leftovers/storage: After the bread is cooled, it will keep well-wrapped at room temperature for three to four days. The herb flavor will intensify if your bread stays around this long.
Savory Herb Bread from Angie Derr of the Creamery CaféMakes 1 loaf
1 cup unbleached flour
1 cup whole-wheat flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
4 tablespoons (½ stick) butter, melted
1 cup firm yogurt (see buying recommendation)
1/3 cup honey
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon dried dill
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon dried tarragon
In a large bowl, whisk flours, baking powder, baking soda and salt.
In a medium bowl, stir together melted butter, yogurt and honey. Add eggs and whisk until frothy. Whisk in herbs.
Make a well in center of dry ingredients. Pour in wet ingredients and gently stir until combined.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees and generously grease a standard-size loaf pan.
Pour batter into loaf pan and bake in preheated oven 35 to 45 minutes, until a knife inserted into center comes out clean.
Let cool 10 minutes. Run a knife around edges to loosen and tip out onto a cooling rack to cool completely.

Australia storm kills 1, litters towns with debris
CARDWELL, Australia The storm was roaring outside Diane Robson's waterfront apartment when she edged onto the balcony to check on her boat in the water below. She swept the beam of her flashlight across the churning black harbor until she caught a flash of white: her yacht, the "Laza Beam" - in her neighbor's yard.
The monstrous cyclone that ripped across Australia's northeast flung boats from the sea like toys, leaving them in jumbled piles. Robson stared down at her battered yacht from the balcony on Friday; she couldn't bring herself to look any closer.
"I don't ever want to get back on the boat again," she said. "I'm too scared."
Residents across Queensland state trickled out of their sodden homes Friday to confront the wreckage left a day earlier by Cyclone Yasi, a fierce storm that flattened dozens of houses and ripped roofs and walls from hundreds more. The storm cut power to thousands of homes and shredded hundreds of millions of dollars worth of banana and sugar cane crops.
Australia marshaled 4,000 troops and sent a supply ship with tons of food to the hardest-hit communities Friday, as authorities confirmed the first death from the cyclone. Police said a 23-year-old man died from asphyxiation after being overwhelmed by fumes from a diesel-powered generator he was using in a closed room during the storm. Two other people were reported missing.
Residents and officials were amazed the death toll was not higher. The storm thrashed the coast with up to 170 mph (280 kph) winds and sent waves crashing ashore two blocks into seaside communities, as tens of thousands of people huddled in evacuation centers.
Electricity and phone service were gradually being restored Friday, and roads cleared of downed trees, power lines and twisted metal roofs torn from homes. But the efforts were hampered by drenching rain in many parts of the disaster zone, prompting the weather bureau to warn of potentially dangerous flash flooding.
Because Australia's far northeast is sparsely populated, Yasi, despite its size, didn't hit any major cities as it charged across the continent. But the isolation was making cleanup more difficult, as authorities struggled to reach out-of-the-way towns.
In Cardwell, rain poured through gaping holes in the roofs of houses already inundated. The waterfront library was in shambles: The roof had collapsed, the books were drenched and the front door lay in the center of the building.
Local police moved through the cluttered streets trying to clear wreckage. Richard Doran, 62, beckoned a backhoe driver over to the front of his shop, where inside, three inches of mud covered the floor. A tidal surge had dumped a tangle of downed trees and nearly a foot of sand at his front door.
He still hadn't seen any state emergency service workers and was hoping help would arrive soon.
"The longer it sits like this, the worse it is," he said.
The main road into town was torn into chunks in places, and piles of sand washed ashore by tidal surges blocked it elsewhere, making driving conditions hazardous.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
By Anthony RhoadsWhen you're playing one of the top teams in the state, you can't afford to make mistakes. But that's exactly what happened to the Lovejoy Wildcats in a 9-0 loss to East Coweta, the No. 3-ranked team in Class AAAAA. Lovejoy (3-8 overall, 2-2 in Region 4-AAAAA) committed four errors while its pitchers registered six walks and three hit batsmen in the loss. "We should have been down by one run after the fourth inning but we were down 7-0," Lovejoy head coach Craig Chatman said. "We had a good opportunity to get out of the first inning unscathed and I think that made the difference right there. East Coweta is a good team, don't get me wrong, but I think our kids sell themselves short." Lovejoy only collected three hits and two of those came in the seventh inning against a relief pitcher. "We hit the ball hard but right at people," Chatman said. "Our season is by no means over. We can play with these guys. We're really hitting the ball well but we have to play a little defense." East Coweta (14-0) didn't have any problems with its pitching or defense Monday. Starting pitcher Brett Butts worked four innings, striking out eight. He allowed only one hit, a single by Edmond Sparks, in the second inning. The East Coweta defense didn't make any errors and turned two double plays. Even though East Coweta scored nine runs and racked up eight hits, the squad left 14 runners on bases. The team left the bases loaded twice. "I was obviously pleased with the pitching," East Coweta head coach Franklin DeLoach said. "We won by nine runs but I feel like if they had made some plays here and there it would have been a tight ball game. Honestly, I'm not very pleased with how we played. We can't continue to hit the ball like this and be successful. We didn't seem intense or enthusiastic." Getting help from former pros: The East Coweta baseball team has two former Major League pitchers as assistants including 1987 Cy Young Award winner Steve Bedrosian and Ricky Behenna. Both have sons who play for the Indians. "It's great that I've got those guys who forgot more about pitching than I will ever know," DeLoach said. "It's wonderful and they're great coaches. I'm honored to have the 1987 Cy Young winner in my dugout and they both bring a lot to the table." Coming back to Clayton County: DeLoach was able to come back to his home county Tuesday with East Coweta traveling to Lovejoy. DeLoach played high school baseball at Jonesboro for head coach Don Corr and he was an assistant at Lovejoy High School in 1997. The 1997 Lovejoy baseball team was the first in school history to make the state playoffs.

Originally written on NESN.com | Last updated 12/31/12
Coming off a strong performance against the Brooklyn Nets on Christmas day, it was easy to think some of that good fortune may translate into momentum going into a west coast road trip to California. That did not happen. The Celtics got demolished by the Clippers, Warriors and Kings on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday respectively. Celtics beat writer Gary Washburn of the Boston Globe thinks the Celtics got caught off guard by those California teams, and that the NBA is not afraid of Boston anymore. At two games under .500 and currently on the bubble in the Eastern Conference, it's safe to say the Celtics need answers. Washburn thinks the team needs to get better defensively, and while the return of Avery Bradley should help that, it might not be the difference alone. Watch the video above to hear what Washburn thinks the Celtics must do to compete in 2013.
