dotTech Advice
If you've been on dotTech for a long time, you'll definitely recognize uRex DVD Ripper. However, you probably won't recognize the company name, and for good reason. They appear to be a reseller or subsidiary of some other software developer, as Ashraf mentions in an older giveaway of uRex Video Converter Platinum:
It is hard to get a finger on uRex Video Converter Platinum. It is obvious they are a reseller and/or somehow related to a larger software developer (based off past experience and the fact their domain was registered in 2011, I take their claim of being around since Feburary 2005 with a grain of salt). What isn't obvious is exactly which developer they are associated with. Their program name and website makes me think Digiarty Software; but the program interface and features makes me think Wondershare Software. I'm leaning more towards Wondershare. Anyway, it isn't too terribly important who uRex is reselling. What is important is if it's quality or not.
As you can see from the screenshot to the right, uRex looks almost exactly the same as Wondershare's DVD Ripper Premium. And this is a good thing: Wondershare makes fairly high quality software, and it's a nice tool to get for free.

@MikeR: For uRex DVD Ripper Platiunum I agree with you. However, my ponderings where on uRex Video Converter Platium — its interface is very Wondershare-ish.
Re Ashraf's ponderings: I've today installed both this and the Digiarty offer on giveawayoftheday.
I can't tell the difference between 'em: just look at their GUIs (not as in the comparison screenshot on this page, by the way.)
Wondershare???? Doesn't look like it to me — and the fact that both the Digiarty app and this from, er, the non-existent 'uRex' are being given away simultaneously is surely more than a coincidence . . .
internet explorer
The setup.exe wants to install this presumably 32-bit software in 64-bit Win7's folder for 64-bit programs. Not sure what if any problems that may cause, but it indicates something is wrong in development process unless of course this turns out to be 64-bit software and they didn't tell us. Another possibility that occurs to me is that this is old software written before 64-bit operating systems were so common, but as I recall there was even a 64-bit version of WinXP, not to mention a little something called Vista. I also wonder if this is some cast-off software that the developer decided not to have their name associated with for various reasons?
First you rip, then you edit. Different software requirements.
What's more important? A good result or a fast result? Personallly I never completely believe any application that claims to do everything at once.
"'Rippers' don't do much editing. They specialize in 'Ripping' – the clue is in the name!"
IMHO, great rippers actually tweak (read "edit") a lot specially DVDs by using lot of filters to optimize (say, sharpening, luma correction) the look (and, sound, too, particularly, denoising). i have seen horrible DVDs looking great after those manipulations.
but yes, they don't do editing frame by frame, of course. ^_^
Many Tanks
uRex DVD Ripper Platinum can do:
"Edit videos by trimming, cropping, adjusting brightness, contrast and other effects etc."
I didn`t find "Edit" function.
I wrote to their support: "email@example.com" Aabout it, and received by Email these error message:
'email@example.com' at- 20/05/2012 16:58
451 4.3.0 Error: queue file write error
So, I can`t contact them.
Maybe someone know if there is Edit function, because i want to Edit video which in my compute.
funny that here locutus said, "When you run WinX DVD Ripper Platinum you will be prompted to register it." ^_^
by the way, winx hd video converter deluxe promotion is also live for ~4.5 hrs more!
Download link: http://www.winxdvd.com/download/gotd/winx-hd-video-converter-deluxe.exe
License code: AF-VJEIVIVY-AZMHID(Activate the software before May.22. No free upgrade.)
code would be the same for everybody, so i think the admin/mod does not mind that i am posting it here.

In 16 innings pitched, Bell recorded 21 strikeouts while holding her opponents to two earned runs on eight hits. The freshman capped off Pitt's 9-7 win over USC-Sumter (S.C.) with four strikeouts in 1 2/3 innings. In 54.1 innings of work with the Bulldogs this season, Bell has a 2.19 ERA.

Best drove in 12 runs on the week while scoring six of her own. Defensively, Best gunned down all three runners that attempted steals. The Conquistadors are led offensively by Best who has a team-high .476 batting average and 44 RBIs this season.
Making five appearances last week for the Cardinals, O'Connor notched four wins and improved her record this year to 14-2. The freshman accumulated 48 strikeouts in 26 innings of work, holding her opponents to just one earned run on 13 hits.

15331 NE 90th Street Redmond, WA 98052 800-342-3999 www.a-barcode.com Dynamic Systems helps Erickson's implement an innovative equipment tracking system with CheckMate Toolroom Software using barcode technology for speed and accuracy. Erickson's is a full service fire, water and flood damage services company. They handle all aspects of fire, water and flood damage, trauma and biohazard clean up and act as a full service construction contractor. The equipment used on their jobs can cost as much as $10,000 for a high quality blower, and with multiple jobs in process at at any one time, keeping track of their equipment was an issue. They found that the CheckMate system was able to reduce time to track as well as loss of equipment that was deployed to flood and fire damaged locations significantly. A major issue for the restoration industry as a whole is making sure all equipment is retrieved from job sites. They deal with disaster areas that are by nature hectic, so the loss of equipment is common. One restoration company indicated that they had blowers from several competitors in their warehouse that had been found abandoned on large job sites. When Erickson's management team decided to solve this problem with a barcode system, they discovered that the company had purchased a CheckMate tool tracking system over 5 years before. They contacted Dynamic Systems and discussed their options. Erickson's decided to upgrade the software to its current version and to take advantage of the latest in mobile technology that allowed them to use barcode terminals that also have cell phone capability. Currently, Erickson's has over 2000 pieces of equipment, tools and consumables being tracked in their warehouse, in trucks and on jobs. The equipment is checked out to a job using a Motorola MC75 mobile terminal. Once a job is complete, the equipment is either redeployed to another job or returned to the warehouse. If it is redeployed, the MC75 records the transfer and transmits the data back to the main database via the cell network, assuring that management knows where their equipment is at all times. "Reporting is the best feature of this system," states Eddie Karam, IT Manager for Erickson's. "The reporting features take away any questions as far as what equipment was checked out to a job and whether everything has been collected at the end of the job." He also listed the tracking of disposable (consumable) goods and great inventory features as benefits of the CheckMate Toolroom software. "I would recommend this software. It's very powerful and yet extremely easy to learn and use. The people at Dynamic Systems were there for us every step of the way."

By Gordon Fairclough
The economic slowdown has slammed the brakes on the fortunes of high-end car makers around the globe. BMW, the world's largest luxury-maker, which posted a 19.5 percent drop in first-half unit sales, is leaving the prestigious Formula One motor-racing series this year. Porsche is racked with insider battles—including the recent departure of its CEO and CFO—as its merger with Volkswagen nears completion, helped along by a cash injection from the Middle East. Audi, a unit of Volkswagen, reported first-half profit down 25 percent from the year before. Results are also lackluster for other high-profile brands like Rolls-Royce, Jaguar and Saab (which General Motors is aiming to sell by the end of the year). And against the backdrop of a government bailout of the U.S. auto industry, and increasing pressure to produce smaller, more fuel-efficient cars, GM said it is selling its hulking Hummer brand to a company in China. Ford is also selling its Volvo brand. A leading bidder? Geely Group, one of China's largest independent auto makers.
While the rest of the world stalls, China is rapidly becoming the most important market for high-end auto makers. Luxury-car sales grew 7 percent in China in the first half of 2009 at a time when the rest of the planet was shunning luxury purchases. Overall car sales have been climbing strongly, up nearly 20 percent over the same period, making the country one of the industry's few bright spots—and turning it into the largest vehicle market in the world so far this year.
As the Chinese economy has blossomed, those at the top of the country's economic pyramid have had ever more money to shop, particularly for one of the most visual totems of class status. Just three decades ago, a Flying Pigeon bicycle was the aspirational good for up-and-coming Chinese. Now, the global high-end auto market's "center of gravity is moving eastward" to China, says Dieter Zetsche, chairman of Daimler, which sells Mercedes and Maybach cars. "Chinese consumers are redefining what luxury means for them, whether we are talking about automobiles, fashion or leisure activities."
The Changed State of Luxury
A sign of the times: Rolls-Royce Motor Cars chose the Shanghai auto show in April to announce the eagerly awaited name of its new, smaller and more dynamic sedan, the Ghost, which had previously been known only by the code name RR04. Rolls-Royce's decision was a "tick in the box for the importance of the China market," says Richard Carter, a spokesman for the company, which is now a unit of BMW. Among the other new cars making their global debuts in Shanghai this year: the Mercedes S-65 AMG, one of its most expensive high-performance models, and a new Porsche sedan—the first four-door sedan that the company has ever produced—the Panamera.
China is the No. 1 market in the world for Mercedes' high-end flagship, the S-Class. Mercedes sales in China are off the charts this year—up by 50 percent in the first six months of the year, compared with the same period in 2008. "It's just a question of time before China will be a luxury-car market on a par with the U.S.," says Jochen Goller, vice president of marketing for BMW in China. Ferrari sold more than 200 cars in China last year. For Audi, China is the second-biggest market in the world, after Germany. "In the long-term, I believe China will be the biggest Audi market in the world," says Dietmar Voggenreiter, president of Audi's China operations.
To help satisfy the market, Mercedes, BMW and Audi now all manufacture high-end sedans with Chinese joint-venture partners at factories in China. Daimler has built an advanced design center in Beijing to help the company stay abreast of design trends and consumer preferences in China, while research and development staff work on special equipment, such as sophisticated entertainment and navigation systems. "You have to adapt yourself to the market, to the culture and to the expectations of your customers," says Ulrich Walker, Daimler's Beijing-based chairman and CEO for Northeast Asia.

Michael C. Moore: Seattle's Super Years Were Years Ago
I said my just-in-case goodbye to the Sonics earlier this season, at a sparsely attended KeyArena game against Sacramento that ended up being Loss Number 14 in a 14-game losing streak — ultimately just one of the 2007-08 season's many lowlights.
It was, I'm not ashamed to admit, the first game I'd been to in more than a decade, and the first I'd bought a ticket for since college.
This little snoozer of a game didn't have much to do with the Sonics I remembered, from several stints covering them for papers in King County from 1980 through the mid-'90s. In KeyArena, in a game between two going-nowhere teams (unless you count a new town, in the Sonics' case), there was no real noise, no real excitement, no real feeling — all that was being artificially created by too-loud music, too-showbiz dancing girls and too-frequent interruptions for presentations and snippets of "entertainment" that, I supposed, were supposed to give the less-than-half-capacity crowd the feeling that it'd gotten its money's worth.
On the ferry ride home, I realized I'd just spent two hours with a franchise I no longer cared about — and not just because they're likely skating town in the next year or two.
I closed my eyes, put up my feet and spent the rest of the cruise pondering why.
My first season covering the team was 1980 — Lenny Wilkens' team, with Gus and DJ and Jack and JJ and Lonnie and "Downtown" Fred Brown and all the others were the defending world champions. Wally Walker, it should be noted, was the 12th man at the end of the bench, and there are some who believe that was about the extent of his NBA acumen.
Despite all the flash of their backcourt, the Sonics were a warrior-class team — Sikma, the second-year towhead, gave them that characteristic.
That season, they pounded out 56 workmanlike wins in a Kingdome that could, and several times did, host upward of 30,000 fans.
The Sonics were kings of the NBA hill, the sports darlings of the Northwest, capable of toying with most of the other teams in the league ... a well-coached, well-oiled machine, playing in a facility that, albeit not perfect, had a seat for anyone who wanted to come, any time.
It never got any better than that. Even the George Karl-coached team that won a franchise-record number of games and went to the NBA finals in 1996 couldn't match those Wilkens-coached teams.
Oh, it could still be a fun, and wild, and wacky team to be around. And, as the NBA began its descent into big-money commercialism, it also could be a king-hell downer. There are too many high and low points to list, but here are a few personal favorites from both ends of the spectrum. I trust it won't be necessary for me to differentiate between the highs and lows:
Lonnie Shelton, sitting in his locker room cubicle with a crumpled rim hanging around his neck. He'd bent the thing during an off-balance dunk, causing a 30-minute delay and resulting in a technical foul, a fine and the full brunt of his teammates' derision. "I bought it," Shelton said sheepishly, "I'm gonna wear it."
The end of the Sonics' championship defense came not in the Kingdome, which was unavailable, but at musty old Hec Edmundson Pavilion. At a time when the team could command its highest average attendance ever, the Supes fell down in the smallest venue they ever called home.
Somebody at the paper I worked at at the time decided it would be a good idea to have the Sonics beat writer — me — also become the court reporter when the case was Dale Ellis' DUI arrest after a crack-up on a Mercer Street on-ramp. Ellis always had been a man of few words, but when he saw me hanging around the courthouse during his darkest hour, I could tell from his chilly stare that I'd never hear the sound of his voice again.
With the arrival of "Trader Bob" Whitsitt as general manager, Draft Day turned into a bit of a spectacle, and the team treated it that way. The wildest draft day ever was based at the Paramount Theatre, with fans watching network coverage on the big screen until Whitsitt would bound onstage from the "war room" to give them in-person updates. He announced the first of two first-round picks that year would be Scottie Pippen from Central Arkansas, but quickly held a hand aloft and added, "But don't go anywhere. I'll have something else for you in a couple minutes."
Sure enough, he came back with the news that Pippen had been traded to Chicago for the Bulls' top pick, Olden Polynice, and an additional pick. We all know how the respective careers of Pippen and Polynice unfolded, but Whitsitt never topped that moment for sheer chutzpah.
What could've been the biggest triumph of the George Karl regime turned into its biggest embarrassment when the No. 1-seeded Sonics were bounced out of the playoffs in the first round by the No. 8 Denver Nuggets — the first time in NBA history it ever had happened.
I was covering the Seahawks that year, but happened to be at the Coliseum the night of Seattle's elimination, serving as what we in the newspaper biz call a "sidebar guy." My most vivid memory is a time out with about a minute and a half to go, with the Sonics down seven and the place enveloped in a ghastly silence. Two sports-radio "personalities" grabbed microphones, stumbled to midcourt and drunkenly attempted to lead a cheer. From the Sonics' huddle, I saw forward Derrick McKey watch them for a moment, then roll his eyes, fold his arms in front of him and shift his gaze to the ceiling in an expression of utter resignation.
I think I feel the same way about the Sonics now that McKey might've felt right then — resigned to their demise, and hard-pressed to care.
Oh, I feel badly for all the people who are going to miss having an NBA team in town. But if Oklahoma really must have this team, then the Sooner the better. Another lame-duck year like this one nobody needs — least of all a once-proud franchise like this one.
I don't know exactly when they lost that aura, whether they were ousted along their 40-year run by the Super Bowl Seahawks or the "Refuse to Lose" Mariners or whether they simply undid themselves. I don't know if the debacle in Hec Ed started it, or that ugly night against the Nuggets, or when Whitsitt sided with Shawn Kemp and Gary Payton, fired coach K.C. Jones and effectively turned the Sonics from a warrior-class team into an asylum ruled by its millionaire inmates.
I just know it's not the same.
The way I look at it, they're just leaving town. They haven't really been the Sonics for a very long time.

By Jeremy Branham on Mar 20, 2012 with Comments 4
The first day of Spring turns the daydreams of warm weather, beaches, and summer vacations into reality. And today also brings the summer airfare deals as airlines launch airfares on the first day of Spring for the first days of summer!
Numerous airlines are offering cheap flights for summer travel through early June. Some airlines are even offering an early Fall airfare sale for those who really want to starting planning.
Here's the first Fall and summer airfare sale for 2012!
So if you've been waiting on those travel deals for summer vacations, now is the time to book!
Fall and summer travel deals
When booking your flights and vacations for summer, there are a number of tips to help you save money on travel.
For air travel, the price of airline tickets is on the rise. However, you can use these 10 tips to save money on your summer airfares when searching for flights.
Southwest Airlines, AirTran, Virgin America, and JetBlue have kicked off summer and fall airfares with some great deals. Southwest, AirTran, and JetBlue have some early summer flights for travel through late June for as low as $69 on Southwest and AirTran and $39 on JetBlue (all prices one way).
Virgin America has gone even further offering airfare sales for cities like San Francisco for as low as $64 each way. Book travel well into Fall as these deals extend to mid October.
Delta Airlines has some great deals to Europe and Latin America on sale for summer travel. And while American, United, and Continental haven't launched their early summer airfare sales, you can expect summer travel deals coming soon.
A number of airlines (American, United, Continental, Frontier) still have Spring travel deals on sale through early to mid June. Even if you aren't ready for summer, you can still find some cheap flights for Spring starting in April through mid June.
Airfares aren't the only thing on sale right now. Many sites have launched vacation package sales so if you are looking for a travel deal, the time to start planning that summer vacation is now.
Check online travel sites as well as airline sites and travel agents to find your best deal for summer. With prices on the rise and travel demand for summer expected to increase over last year, book early.
For those looking for hotels and car rentals, these are on sale now as well. Weekend car rentals in mid June for a number of cities are less than $50 right now.
Late spring, early summer, and even Fall airfares, vacation packages, and travel deals are on sale now.
When is the best time to find travel deals and cheap flights for summer?
Now. The summer travel season will be busy so even if you aren't traveling until later in the summer, start looking for deals and packages now.
A few airlines have already offered some discounted flights for summer. However, there will be more on the way. Three months out is the best time to start looking but with demand and prices on the rise, the early bird will get the worm this summer.
Regardless of when you want to travel, follow the 10 travel tips above to help you find the best deal.
For airlines, you can use these tips to find the cheapest flight no matter when you are traveling. And if you are looking for vacations and packages, there are a number of tips to save money on your next vacation.

Any deals on Spirit?
I didn't know that the first day of spring usually brings summer flight deals. Good to know! We just booked a decent price to Europe for May. Flying straight from San Diego! I'm so happy we don't have to go to LAX.

Hawkins County Sheriff's officers arrested two 19-year-olds Thursday evening after they allegedly found synthetic marijuana in the suspects' car.
Police said Jordan Tramill and Salvador Miller were booked at the Hawkins County Jail on possession of synthetic marijuana and littering charges.
Narcotics officers said they were watching surveillance video when they noticed a black Saturn had been parked, and busted the two men.
At last check, officers said Tramill was still in jail and Miller had been released on bond.
Both are set to appear in court November 14th.
The arrests are the latest in drug enforcement efforts by the Hawkins County Sheriff's and the Rogersville Police Department to crack down on drug use and sales at the city park.

This report tells you just how unserious — and unrelated to "peace" — is the process that supposedly started today: "United States special envoy George Mitchell met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Wednesday, as Israelis and Palestinians readied themselves for the start of long-awaited indirect peace negotiations." Yes, after 15 months George Mitchell has gotten the Palestinians and the Israelis to do exactly what they have been doing — talking to him and not each other. Yes, they came up with a fancy name — "proximity talks" — but that's not exactly truth in advertising. There is no talking between the parties, in contrast to what happened during the Bush and Clinton administrations, which at least got the two sides in the same room. It's not even clear what authority the PA has to negotiate:
Despite media reports that Mitchell's meetings with Netanyahu would kick off the talks, the Executive Committee of the Palestine Liberation Organization has still to convene to give the go-ahead to Palestinian participation in the negotiations. The Arab League gave its backing to the talks on Saturday.
It is unclear when the Committee will meet. Abbas, the PLO head, was in Cairo and Amman on Wednesday for talks with President Hosni Mubarak and King Abdullah II, and was not expected to return to Ramallah before Friday.
But just as the title of the talks signals that nothing much is going on, so does the pablum put out to the media after the first session: "A spokesman for the Prime Minister's Office said that the two met for three hours and described the atmosphere as good. Mitchell and Netanyahu are scheduled to meet again on Thursday. In Washington, State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley said the meeting was good and productive but did not give details." Presumably this meant that no one left in a huff, but "productive" — well, that's open to debate, not only for today's session but for the entire exercise.
Both sides have said they don't expect the talks to "succeed" and both want to maneuver not to be blamed. You thought the Iranian nuclear talks were the pinnacle of gamesmanship? Prepare to see both sides talk and talk and talk some more. So how does this end? In a third Intifada? With the administration announcing that they have "no choice" but to propose an American plan and a deadline for its implementation? The best we can hope for — and it would be a stretch at this point — is that the talks would quietly fizzle and the Palestinians will return to the business of creating the preconditions for real peace — that is, the formulation of institutions and the development of a new mindset that eschews victimology and violence. But the Obama crew has made that all the more difficult.

Review: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
By Paul Friswold
Parents Lead By Example in Carnage
By Paul Friswold
With his customary subdued understatement, Woolf heralded the Rep's production of Metamorphoses as a "major theatrical event." His encomium was two-thirds accurate: There is definitely a sense of event about this retooling of Greek myths, and there's no denying that the evening is theatrical. As women are transformed into birds and lovers become entwined trees, these tales of creation and lamentations of death play out with sublime beauty. Occasionally, Metamorphoses even provides a kind of epiphany that holds the audience spellbound. But as to whether there's anything major here -- or if, on the contrary, this wet dreamscape isn't more on the order of an idiosyncratic curiosity -- viewers will decide for themselves.
Oh, it's wet all right. Creator-writer Mary Zimmerman unspools her stories around a black pool, 27 feet square. Why a pool? Because myths often chronicle tales of the elements, of which water is foremost. When a myth involves someone like Poseidon, god of the sea, this unique set enhances that telling. But in other sequences it seems to be an affectation.
Kimberly Akimbo- By David Lindsay-Abaire. Performed by HotHouse Theatre Company through Sept. 27 at the ArtLoft Theatre, 1529 Washington Avenue. Call 314-534-1111.
When he ran 20th Century Fox, producer Darryl Zanuck had a surefire formula for making westerns: Any time a campfire scene was too slow, he'd say, "Throw in a snake." A snake will always arouse viewer interest. Here the formula is: Whenever the action begins to lag, have the performers thrash through the pool. Sure enough, sheets of water cascading across the auditorium do rekindle attention. But a little sloshing goes a long way. During the course of this 95-minute intermissionless event, there are times when all that water intrudes upon, rather than enhances, the evening's business.
One assumes that at least part of the evening's business is to allow the viewer to ponder the role of myth. What is mythology, anyway, other than a means of explaining who we are, why we are who we are and how we got here? Myths suggest that if even the all-powerful gods could find themselves at the mercy of a random universe, the essential truth of our own mortal fallibility seems somehow more forgivable, if not understandable.
The original Metamorphoses was composed in Latin verse 2,000 years ago by the Roman poet Ovid. As translated by contemporary poet David Slavitt and distilled by Zimmerman, the text here is almost always crystal-clear. But Zimmerman is not content with clarity; she insists on dumbing down the legends. When, for instance, King Midas wants to turn all he touches into gold, Bacchus replies, "That's a really, really bad idea." Some viewers will find this populist spin amusing; others might find it a really bad idea.
But there can be no disputing the high caliber of this visually stunning Rep mounting. The liquid set -- complete with waterfall -- is pristine, and the gorgeous lighting seems to be refracted through golden honey.
Although there's not a weak link among the ten performers, there is an intriguing disparity in how they approach the material. Those actors who have worked in prior Zimmerman offerings seem to have been trained to subordinate their personalities to the good of the production. Then there are newcomers to Zimmerman (Andrew Long, for instance, who is an affecting King Midas); their character-driven performances remind one of wild horses whose spirits haven't yet been broken.
In addition to Midas, the gang's all here: Orpheus and Eurydice, Aphrodite, Halcyone, Eros. Like surprise guest stars, Pandora and Narcissus make unbilled cameo appearances. The evening is rampant with jealousy, greed, incest. But of all the vices that are chronicled in the lambent world that is Metamorphoses, none is more rueful than the egoism of the show's creator. Despite the fact that Zimmerman never set foot in St. Louis, the Rep is contractually required to credit her as the director of this regional theater production. Wouldn't you think that after all her time spent in the company of the gods, Zimmerman would know the difference between a myth and a lie?
Meanwhile, the new-season opener at HotHouse Theatre Company has all but been ignored, swamped by the media focus on Metamorphoses. One hopes there are audiences for both productions, because Kimberly Akimbo is everything Metamorphoses is not. It's raw, brash, crass, terribly irreverent and at times outrageously funny. Yet in its own bizarre way, this new play touches on some of the same eternal themes that concerned the ancients. "I'm like the guy on the hill pushing the rock," the blue-collar father bemoans, though he wouldn't know Sisyphus if he bought him a drink at the corner bar.
The opening scene deftly establishes the play's peculiar premise. A gray-haired woman in her seventies sits on a bench, numbly braving the New Jersey winter chill as she waits for a ride that is now two hours late. Finally her errant, tardy son arrives to pick her up. But as the scene plays out, the viewer slowly realizes that this fellow is not the old woman's son; he is her father. We have entered a universe in which the world is turned inside out.

My days of blogging about Google Transit as a standalone Maps powered service are over.. Google Transit is now a core feature within Google Maps! The Google LatLong Blog has recently announced that Google Transit has graduated from Labs and is now enhancing the directions feature within Google Maps. If you are seeking directions within one of the regions where transit coverage exists the option will appear after you've entered your start and end points. Here is a screenshot:
The addition of public transit routing greatly enhances the Google Maps directions feature and opens it up to millions of additional users who don't travel by car. I personally believe this will also have a positive environmental impact as many instantly realize the same route could be traveled using a transit vehicle already going there, instead of their own cars. Public transit joins many other features that enhance directions on Google Maps for users all over the world; Draggable driving directions, the ability to avoid highways and live traffic conditions for select US cities.
The Google Transit site won't go away with this Google Maps integration either. Christoph Oehler's post points out that it will still live on at www.google.com/transit to facilitate learning about what areas have transit coverage on Google Maps. Transit agencies are also encouraged to take a look at the Transit Spec to see how they can take part in this world-changing project (for free).

Eleven-year-old Payton Jagger will get her wish of a trip to a Florida theme park in December, but the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana is allowing her community to be a part of passing it on.
Payton, a daughter of Josh and Sheila (Moog) Jagger of Columbia City, has a condition called Chromosome 13.32.3 depletion. According to Sheila, Payton has trouble with fine motor skills and speech. Prone to urinary tract infections and other medical conditions, she has learned to dislike doctor visits so much that she endures severe pain rather than admit and have to go to the doctor.
Payton's condition is very rare, only 17 studied cases so far, though there could be many more.
"We didn't know until she was six," said Sheila, who works weekends at Sears in Columbia City.
The Columbia City Sears store and its employees are supporting Payton with a "Payton's Wish Day" from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Nov. 13 at the store.
Those who wish may make a small donation for a chance to spin the "Wheel of Fortune" and win gifts from local businesses. Anyone wanting to make a donation or donate prizes may contact Tam Meinika at 691-2086 or e-mail email@example.com.
Payton is a sixth grader at Indian Springs Middle School and her mother thinks she's "awesome."
"You can have a really bad day and yell at her and 10 minutes later she loves you," Sheila said.
In describing how Payton looks at the world — though she can only say "Mama" and use sign language that doesn't require fine motor skills — her mom says, "You know how (babies) come out and look at the world in a most amazing way? She still does."
When asked what the future prognosis is for Payton, Sheila's eyes fill with tears, "As a parent you try not to think ahead," she said, "you just take one day at a time."
Prior to this year, Payton attended Mary Raber Elementary School, in a way, as a teacher.
"If my daughter can teach anybody anything, it's empathy," Sheila said. And if Payton could talk, her mom thinks she would say, "Just because I'm different, doesn't mean I'm not awesome."
Anyone giving to support Payton's Make-A-Wish is helping the Make-A-Wish Foundation provide wishes for other children. Contact The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana at the Indiana office at 7330 Woodland Drive, suite 201, Indianapolis, IN 46278; call (317)636-6060; or visit the website at www.makeawishindiana.org

As some of you may have noticed, the old site has been scraped back in 2009. It was once a wiki that allowed free editing of anything, but it turned out that only a handful of people really used it.
Since then I've been using a minimalistic document system to organize personal stuff: random thoughts, reminders to myself, work in progress, etc. I actually quite like it, and want to develop this idea further.
The idea is fairly simple: the web-age human computer interface is just a digital notebook, where one continuously writes, reads, and cross-links, and on top of which, one shares such efforts with others.
That is it.
Coming back to this site, I'd like to maintain an invited authorship, i.e., be more like a Blog than a Wiki. Part of the reason that the old site got little use was because it had no purpose. A Wiki is loosely structured, and hence it needs a purpose to keep going.
While I'm working towards reviving this site, I'm building a site tool for the web-age human computer interface. Right now it's just for an author to work locally, and sync to this site to publish content. The ultimate goal is not to be restricted to a single author or a single site of course, but to be more generally purposed.
For the moment, I'm the only one who writes here. As the tool matures, others might come to the site. We'll see how it goes.
PS: If you had Wiki pages on this site before and would like a backup copy, please email me.

SHB7000 Wireless not working
Hello people.
I have just got this new headset from philips called "SHB7000". The moment i got it opened it and red the manual to try it out, unfortunately it cant connect to any of my bluetooth devices. I have tried with my macbook, my iphone(5s) and my brothers iphone (5s aswell) and it doesnt seem like the problem is in my devices. By the way, im following the instructions where it says that the light on the right side must be "Flashing alternatively".
I put it in the charger for 2 hours and took a nap in the meantime, still now when im trying it still cant pair.
Anyone have any idea about how i can fix this problem? I have the headset plugged in and it works just fine, seems that the problem only is in the wireless connection.

Hello PhilMart,
Thank you for your post.
Please forget all devices in your smart phones, reboot and then try pairing again. Also, if you have access to Android devices, please check if you can pair with them.
Kind regards,

Batman Suffers Blunt Force TraumaFriday, February 2nd, 2007
Batman has dropped Katie Holmes and they're taking a look at Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) for the role of district attorney, Rachel Dawes. Read on:
Ever since the official word that Katie Holmes was not going to reprise her role as Bruce Wayne's love interest and assistant district attorney Rachel Dawes in The Dark Knight, inquiring minds have wanted to know who would replace her.
The rumor mill first suggested that Wedding Crashers co-star Rachel McAdams was up for the role. Now CinemaBlend.com, via a reliable source, claims that Golden Globe winner Emily Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) is being eyed for the part:
"(The) folks behind the Batman Begins sequel are impressed with her, and may bring Blunt in to read for the role. … (Even) if this is true it only means that Emily Blunt is being considered for the part of Rachel Dawes. It doesn't mean she has it."
Cinema Blend also adds that their "same anonymous source insists that Katie didn't leave the project, but was dropped."

Notes from Duke football scrimmage
Duke held its second preseason scrimmage Friday at Wallace Wade Stadium. Here are five quick takes:
1. Braxton Deaver is back – The redshirt senior tight end appeared in his first full-pad, full-contact scrimmage of the season. He missed the first week of practice while being held out for disciplinary reasons.
Deaver didn't disclose what happened, but admitted he made a mistake and is in the process of making up for it to his teammates and coaches.
"I made a mistake and I'm thankful to coach Cut and his program for being my family and taking me back so I can make strides," Deaver said. "I owe it to my team. Every time I walk on the field
I want to make the play for this team regardless of circumstances. I definitely feel I've really got something to give to this team and I want to be that guy and give that much leadership and that energy to the field every single day."
2. Helton comfortable at MLB – After all-ACC linebacker Kelby Brown was lost for the season to a torn ACL last Monday, senior David Helton was moved from weak-side (Will) linebacker to middle linebacker (Mike).
Everyone, from coaches to teammates to Helton himself, came away pleased with how much it will help the Duke defense.
"David is very intelligent," Duke linebackers coach Jim Collins said. "David is a 3.75 student at Duke. This is not first rodeo. He has numerous starts and almost 2,000 snaps that he's played. So he's seen a lot of football. I'm not concerned at all now with him moving in there because a lot of the fundamentals that happen with that position I teach them both to play it anyway."
3. Freshmen influence – A number of true freshmen are getting playing time in scrimmages with most of the repetitions coming at cornerback, linebacker, running back and wide receiver.
In the secondary, cornerbacks Zach Muniz and Alonzo Saxton were on the field with hybrid groups of first and second-team defenders on Friday.
The same was true at linebacker for Zavier Carmichael and Tinashe Bere. Brown's injury means they'll have opportunities to play this season.
At running back, Shaun Wilson has done enough for Duke coach David Cutcliffe to say that he will be part of the running back rotation this season with senior Josh Snead, junior Shaquille Powell and redshirt freshman Joe Ajeigbe.
Wide receiver Chris Taylor saw some important action on Friday as did quarterback Nico Pierre.
4. Patrick still out – Projected starting left guard Lucas Patrick remains sidelined while being treated for concussion symptoms after he took a blow to the head.
Patrick, a redshirt junior, is expected to step in to replace David Harding at left guard. Harding completed his career last season.
Cutcliffe said he is at the mercy of the medical staff as to when Patrick will be able to return to practice. He has missed both scrimmages and has not taken part in a full-pad, full-contact practice this season.
As he did on Monday, redshirt junior Cody Robinson worked with the first-team offense at left guard in place of Patrick.
5. Quick hits – Powell took part in the scrimmage after sitting out last Monday's scrimmage due to concussion symptoms. He was cleared medically to return this week….Tanner Stone and Casey Blaser shared repetitions at right tackle with first-team offense. One of those two will be the new starter at right tackle following Perry Simmons' graduation….The coaching staff did a lot of mixing and matching at defensive line with the first-team defense. Jonathan Jones, Jordan DeWalt-Ondijo, Dezmond Johnson and Britton Grier shared time at defensive end with the first-team defense. In the middle, Mike Ramsay got some looks at defensive tackle along with veterans Jamal Bruce, Jamal Wallace, Carlos Wray and A.J. Wolf.

A Trip in Time
Would you like to make a trip around the area your ancestors came from, in the timeframe they lived there? If/when you learn where your ancestors came from you can take that imaginary trip. Over the years I have purchased antique Baedeker's travel books. I've researched how my ancestors might have traveled to reach their point of departure from Europe, what kind of transportation was available in that timeframe, and plotted possible routes to determine which books I should purchase. My specific ancestors came from Germany. This led me to explore multiple countries.
In these travel books are maps of cities as well as of buildings that existed in the timeframe the book covers (e.g., churches, cathedrals, etc.). Many are available in English as well as the native language. Copies of a lot of these maps are being sold on the Internet. They take you day-by-day from point to point, with sights you would have seen along the way. I have been lost in my reading of these travel guides for hours at a time–it is the next best thing to being there.

A reality check on slow sales activity led Airbus to put an end to its A340 aircraft programme, according to EADS chief financial officer Hans Peter Ring.
Speaking to analysts to discuss the group's nine-month financial results, Ring said: "We are accepting ourselves to the reality that we haven't sold A340s for two years."
EADS said today that the termination of the A340 programme would result in a positive one-off impact of €192 million ($260 million) on its earnings before interest and taxes.
Airbus still has four A340s to deliver from previous orders - two corporate versions and two bound for Kingfisher Airlines - according to the airframer's order book.

I was pleasantly surprised when I came across this article, written by Baylor University president Ken Starr (yes, that Ken Starr), in the Washington Post today. When I read the article's title, Can I Vote for a Mormon? I steeled myself to read some religious right wingnuttery about Jesus Candidates and the like. Instead I read things like this:
I strongly encourage Americans who would ask this question of themselves to consider and weigh thoughtfully our nation's constitutional traditions….
In fashioning this remarkably enduring document, the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia made it absolutely clear that no religious test should ever be imposed to hold office.
As I read on, I found this:
According to the American political tradition, there are essential questions by which all office seekers are qualified, regardless of their faith journey or history. The first is: Does the candidate subscribe completely to our constitutional structure, including freedom of conscience for persons of all faiths — or no faith? A second question for the thoughtful voter is related to and flows from the first: Will the candidate subscribe, without any "mental hesitation or purpose of evasion," to the oath to protect and defend America's Constitution? If the answers to those closely connected questions are yes, then voters should proceed to cast their ballot on the basis of the candidate's qualifications, platform and policy positions — not the candidate's membership (or lack thereof) in a particular faith community.
Did you catch that last bit? A candidate's membership – or lack thereof – in a faith community is not nearly as important a qualification for public office as that candidate's willingness to uphold the Constitution and respect citizens' rights to freedom of conscience.
And then I read a bit further and found this:
In fact, a number of great presidents have come to the White House without membership in any faith community. Thomas Jefferson was a Deist and was vigorously attacked for his religious views (or lack thereof). Abraham Lincoln, as a matter of conscience, refused to join any church….
More recently, the great cultural chasm between Catholics and Protestants was politically overcome with the election of John F. Kennedy. Similarly, then-Vice President Al Gore's choice of Sen. Joe Lieberman, a practicing Jew, as his running mate in 2000 signaled the welcoming openness of America's democratic experience to individuals who did not share the Christian faith….
…the litmus for our elected leaders must not be the church they attend but the Constitution they defend.
Shortly after this passage, Starr concluded his article with this advice:
Life experience, personal qualities and policy views are the pivotal points to guide Americans as they go to the polls in 2012.
While there's much I like about Starr's article, I have a significant problem with it. Starr's approach would work well in an open-minded marketplace of political ideas. Sad to say, it's been a very long time since the USA provided such a marketplace (if it ever did). The fact that Starr felt compelled to answer the question posed in his title is testament to that sad reality. The fact is, in today's American political climate, many candidates explicitly connect their policies to their religious beliefs. When someone like Rick Santorum, to take just one example, promotes policy positions on such issues as contraception, abortion and gay rights, and supports those beliefs by citing his religious beliefs, I have little choice but to consider how incompatible his beliefs, as well as his policies, are with my policy positions and nonbelief. It is the candidates themselves who compel me to apply religious litmus tests to both their policies and their beliefs. As long as they keep wearing their religions on their sleeves and using their beliefs to try to score votes, I'll have no choice but to take their religious professions, as well as their policy statements, into consideration when I cast my votes. And I assure you, religiously extreme candidates will have great difficulty gaining any support from me.
