The Internet Industry Association (IIA) has made a shock announcement that its 13-year chief executive Peter Coroneos will retire at the end of June.
The announcement was made by IIA chairman Bruce Linn at the association's annual gala dinner in Sydney last night.
The move heralds a new era for the association which, under Coroneos, moved from representing mainly ISPs to a "diversified, influential and highly respected organisation locally and abroad", Linn said.
Coroneos said he looked forward to maintaining a strong interest in the industry and the IIA.
Coroneos reflected on some of IIA's achievements over his 13-year tenure, which included the development of the "anti-zombie" icode; setting national targets for broadband which evolved into the NBN; co-regulatory codes that avoided server level filtering; and negotiating the copyright provisions of the Australia US Free Trade Agreement to limit intermediary liability.
In addition to signaling it was time for new leadership for the next phase of the IIA, Coroneos said he wanted to spend more of his time surfing.
The incoming 2011 IIA Board will undertake a national recruitment program to seek a replacement, IIA chairman Bruce Linn said.
The new Board also sees the departure of Rob Forsyth – Managing Director, Sophos Asia and incoming members including Crime Stoppers chief Peter Sean Price.
John Hilvert is a former policy advisor to the IIA.

The Baltic Sea Comes To Life at Ozeaneum, as Behnisch Architekten Completes the Oceanographic Museum.
The weather-beaten city of Stralsund on the Baltic Sea is humming with excitement, thanks to the addition of Ozeaneum, the new German Oceanographic Museum designed by Behnisch Architekten. The well-known firm works out of offices in Stuttgart, Germany, as well as both Los Angeles and Boston in the U.S.
This aquarium is built right along the city's harbor promenade surrounded by historic warehouses. It's an open structure flooded from all sides by people and light, similar to the way stones in the sea near the water's edge are flooded by the surrounding water.

Blake Lively at the premiere of Green Lantern in Hollywood. (June 15, 2011)
Less bad than some of her other fashion flops.
The blogger is right: show off those hooters. It's summer; break out the twins.
This would have been much better with a plunging V neck.
Her hair is a MESS.

There are several bands using this name: 1) Galahad is one of the major names amongst the British Neo Prog scene. Galahad was formed in 1985 in Dorset, England as a seven-piece progressive rock band. In 1987, they released both a cassette-only live album and a single. Their music blends melodic moods and with heavier parts and the strong vocals are a trademark, over an orchestrated instrumental. The medieval themes are constant on their lyrics. Their latest album "Empires Never Last" propel them squarely in to the power prog arena similar to Yes, IQ, Pallas and Marillion. Read more about Galahad on Last.fm.

From Al's update today:
Follow the link above to see the rest of Al's UpdateHello and Goodbye at Disneyland
Like clockwork, every three years Disneyland gets a new Resort president, and the new guy just arrived to take over in Anaheim. In this update we'll fill you in on a few of the changes that have just happened with plans for Anaheim and Orlando theme parks, why both George Kalogridis and Michael Colglazier will have some stressful times ahead of them in 2013, and specifically what the changing winds mean for Anaheim at least in the short term. Plus a quick thanks at the end to everyone who joined us this past weekend. Still have some of that spicy maple bacon from our breakfast Saturday? Make sure the OJ is fresh squeezed, and let's get going. As always we are grateful for the photographs from Fishbulb and akfanDisney.

Jennifer Purcell
Three people charged in a 2010 murder are scheduled for trial in November, but it will be reset because the prosecutor will be on medical leave.
Tony Purcell, 45, Jennifer Purcell, 34, and Gary Gilbert, 42, are all charged with felony murder and especially aggravated robbery in the May 2010 stabbing death of Steven Rodriquez.
The three are accused of robbing and killing Rodriguez in his East Pine Street apartment. The trio is also charged in Virginia with killing Natasha Collins, who is allegedly the woman who led them to Rodriguez. Police believe Collins was with the three the night Rodriguez was killed.
The latest filings in the case are two motions from Jennifer Purcell's attorney, Sandy Phillips, who wants two statements her client gave to investigators thrown out. The motions were filed in July, but have not been addressed by the court.
In the first motion, Phillips said Jennifer Purcell made an "equivocal request for an attorney" after police read the Miranda rights to her.
"Rather than confining his questions to clarify the ambiguity of her request for an attorney, the law enforcement officer persuaded her to not request an attorney and to sign her Miranda waiver and give him a statement.
Phillips included the brief exchange in her motion. Purcell said, "I know it's better to have a lawyer, but I have nothing to hide so would it be better for me to have a lawyer? Be honest."
The unidentified investigator responded, "I can't, I can't, and I won't say yeah or nay on that. That's your decision you're going to make. If you have nothing to hide and you're going to tell the truth, then I don't know why you would need one. I wouldn't need one, but I can't make that decision for you."
That statement occurred June 9, 2010.
In the second motion, Phillips also asks for her client's statement on Sept. 7, 2011, to law enforcement to be thrown out as well.
At that time, Purcell was represented by attorney Jack Campbell. He had an agreement with prosecutors that Purcell would give a cooperative statement about Rodriguez' killing in return for a favorable plea bargain.
But Campbell died before the case was resolved.
"The actual plea offer was going to be determined after the defendant made her statement and would be based on the value of her statement to the prosecution," Phillips wrote in the filing.
The day after Purcell gave the second statement, Campbell died and there was no "favorable plea offer" for Purcell.
"Because the defendant fulfilled her side of the bargain, but the District Attorney General could not fulfill his side of the bargain, in the interests of justice the defendant's statement should be suppressed," Phillips argues in the motion.
Assistant District Attorney Ken Baldwin said the case is currently scheduled for trial Nov. 5, but he will be out on medical leave beginning Nov. 1.
"It will get reset and tried sometime after the first of the year," Baldwin said. "We are going to do our best to convict Tony Purcell for first-degree murder. We think he ordered the killing and Gary Gilbert was carrying out his order."
The three are also accused of killing Collins and dumping her body in Scott County, Va. Those cases are still pending, but Gilbert is reportedly cooperating with prosecutors there.
"The cases in Virginia are still pending, although they've made a plea agreement with Gilbert to get his testimony," Baldwin said.
The Purcells and Gilbert remain in jail awaiting trial.

Soccer's Jackie Stengel Showcased in ESPNW Feature
Sept. 18, 2013
RALEIGH, N.C. – NC State women's soccer freshman forward Jackie Stengel has been turning heads ever since she first suited up for the Wolfpack in her first career match on Aug. 23 at Navy. The native of Melbourne, Fla., scored a goal in this match to help the Wolfpack (6-2, 1-1 ACC) to its first win of the season and has not looked back since, adding five more goals to her team-leading mark of six.
Graham Hays of ESPNW posted a story on Tuesday about Jackie's early success in the Atlantic Coast Conference and her relationship with her sister, Katie, who is a senior on Wake Forest's team. See below for an excerpt from the story and a link to where the full piece can be read:
Following in the footsteps of one of the most dominant players in college soccer is an impossible task. For Jackie Stengel, following her older sister's lead is a different story.
"Jackie is going to be just like that," Santoro continued. "You don't have to poke and prod them to become better. Everything they have, they have earned."
A freshman at NC State, Jackie isn't interested in the expectations that come with carrying a particular surname. Yes, she is the younger sister of Wake Forest's second-team All-American. Sure, no more than a couple of hours of North Carolina highway now separate the sisters, who hail from Florida's space coast. Absolutely, those two facts will invite comparisons.

text: OCC Automaton Nail Lacquer ($10.00 for 0.50 fl. oz.) is described as a "24K gold with red/green duochrome [with a Metallic finish]." It's a brightened, sunshine yellow with warm, yellow-red undertones and very fine micro-shimmer that shifts from a coppery-red to a murky green. I tried so hard to capture the duochrome, but it's really subtle, and despite dozens of photos, no luck. After two coats, there was still visible nail line, and I'd describe the coverage as semi-opaque. It applied evenly, and there weren't any brush strokes even though it is a more metallic finish. NARS Kismet (LE, $19.00) is darker, more coppery. See comparison swatches.

At home, Eve is on the phone, trying to make plans for the Summer Fair on the Wharf. Julian walks in, asking Eve to take time off to go to Paris with him. He wonders how much time she thinks he'll put up with this.
She tells him that T.C. needs her right now, but he asks her to hire someone to look after T.C. he explains how he can't hire a wife to accompany him to Paris. He accuses her of using T.C. to stay away from him, but she denies it. He tells her he is leaving for Paris without her.
In the coffee house, Ethan meets with Gwen. She tells him that Jared broke things off with Theresa. The two sit for coffee, but Ethan has to leave after he receives a phone call.
At Pilar's home, Theresa wanders into little Ethan's room to find Pilar updating his computer. She asks her daughter when she plans on telling Ethan the truth. Theresa tells her mother that today isn't a good day for her, and explains how her lies to Jared broke them up. As the two talk, Ethan enters the house, calling up to Pilar. A shocked Theresa wants to know what he's doing there, and Pilar admits that if she doesn't tell him the truth, Pilar will!
Ethan sits down at the computer to download the latest upgrades, and Pilar and Theresa talk quietly. Pilar encourages her once again to tell the truth.
Whitney and Chad show up at the coffee house, grinning from ear to ear. Jared sees them and asks what's up, when she shows him her sparkly ring! Jared is down, telling Chad that he's leaving town.
Gwen seeks out Whitney, asking her for help in getting Jared to stay in town. Whitney agrees to it, but the two are doing it for different reasons.
The two are interrupted by a call from Eve. Whitney can tell that her mom is stressed out. Eve asks for her help, and Whitney has a great plan to ask Jared to take a job as a manager of the fair! They somehow wrangle Chad into asking Jared to take the job! The girls sit at the bar, while Chad asks Jared to work at the fair.
Back at the Wharf, Fox and Miguel are assembling the kissing booth. They're not sure where it's to go.
Kay and Tabitha talk, and we finally see why Kay is in such a good mood, even as Siren flirts with Miguel. Kay brings the old fisherman to the Warf to see Siren, and once he does, Siren runs off to hide, with the old man trailing behind her.
Back at T.C.'s place, Eve apologizes for Julian's outburst, but T.C. tells her that he doesn't care and she should ...Get Out!... He yells ...Go be with Julian... With this, Eve leaves the room.
At the wharf, Siren has followed Miguel. When he is alone, she starts singing her song, and he comes to her. Before he makes it, Kay slaps a hand over her mouth, to stop her from singing. She removes her hand when she sees the fisherman coming. The fisherman kisses Siren! He has her by the arms, and tells her he wants to take her to his boat and make love all night! Siren runs toward the pier, with him in hot pursuit.
At Pilar's Theresa is about to come clean when Julian walks in on the three. He intends on taking a greater part in his son's life. Theresa isn't happy about this at all, and asks him if he's been drinking! She tells him, ...No mother in her right mind would trust you!...
Ethan interjects, telling Theresa that she has no right to keep little Ethan from Julian. Theresa feels betrayed at Ethan's words.
At the Wharf, Jared and Chad discuss plans for the fair. Jared already has a lot of plans, and starts working right away!
Pilar pulls her out of little Ethan's room, demanding that Theresa tells them the truth, and when she refuses, Pilar heads back into the room where Ethan and Julian stand. She is about to tell them something...
Next on Passions:
Theresa is yelling, ...Little Ethan is MY SON!...
Luis has Fancy doing push ups and we hear him saying, ...Now drop!...

Briefly: Screenshot Plus, XPS Viewer, Homestyler
updated 10:15 pm EDT, Fri August 2, 2013
Screenshot Plus widget turns into app, adds features
Screenshot Plus, a long-time "widget" for users that wanted more customization and control over the Mac's built-in screenshot abilities, is now available as a $2 app from the Mac App Store. The program "lives" in the menubar and allows users to change the format of screenshots, save them to specific folders, open them in specific programs, do timed screenshots and the usual screenshot features. The program's time function is particularly handy for capturing events that are difficult to arrange using the built-in functionality, such as a button press or picture with the cursor/pointer/arrow included. Screenshot Plus supports a wide variety of languages and offers more features than the dashboard version.
Enolsoft updates XPS Viewer for Mac, adds .oxps support
Enolsoft have updated their XPS book format reader XPS Viewer to version 2.4.0 ($29), which now supports reading and converting .oxps files on OS X. The OXPS format is the default on Windows 8, and thus the update improves cross-platform compatibility for those using the XAML-based Open XML Paper Specification for layout documents, e-books and other publications. The program can also convert XPS or OXPS to PDF or one of several standard image formats, as well as extract images from XPS/OXPS documents and convert OXPS to XPS. It can also manage XPS files using a "bookshelf" metaphor, and highlight, search, rotate, copy, bookmark and zoom in or out of XPS documents. A separate XPS to PDF program is also available.
Autodesk adds iPhone support to Homestyler design app
The interior design and inspiration app Homestyler from Autodesk (free) now offers iPhone support in addition to its previous iPad and web support. The program lets users explore home designs using high-quality 3D product models from major brands, re-imagining or designing a new room to scale, changing colors and creating ideas based on photos of the users' own rooms. The latest version lets users start from scratch, offering galleries of rooms or empty spaces as well as a user's photo, and uses 3D analysis and real scale to provide room dimension. Users can experiment with placement of 3D furniture, rugs, light fixtures, mirrors and more -- and share the results online through various social services. The program will also connect users to professional designers if desired to help their ideas become reality.

Season's end brings changeFor college students, October and November are, all around, very difficult months. The beautiful thing that is a month-long winter break is so close, and yet countless papers and exams still loom between you and home. The weather is changing which means Steele is hotter than the heating pads in the training room, while conference rooms in Degenstein can turn you into an icicle. There are also the gingko berries to deal with. Don't get me started on those berries.
But add in the fact that you're a fall athlete and the entire mentality of this portion of the semester changes drastically.
For spring athletes, the end of a season is easier--once it's all over, regardless of your year in school, it's summertime. Especially if you're not graduating at the end of that particular spring semester, it means you get a few months off from college overall, making it easier to forget whatever tough loss may have occurred at the end of your post-season tournament.
But if you're a fall athlete? Not only do you remain at school through these tough losses, but you also see other teams continuing on, and you see both the men's and women's basketball teams starting off with a brand new clean slate. You wish you could rewind time and start back in August's pre-season. Because regardless of how easily two-a-day practices--and don't forget four-per-week team lifting sessions--can be despised, those are still hours you get to spend playing the sport you love. You can still end up in your room at the end of the night and know you gave everything you had, with the knowledge that you've got another chance to do the same in the morning.
To any non-athlete reading this (especially those with friends on one of our many teams), please keep these things in mind. Sure, we athletes complain constantly about being sore--I'm sure my public speaking class is sick of hearing what power jumps did to me at Monday's workout--and, the rest of the time, are either elated or utterly depressed based on the outcome of a game. But when you really get us to open up--over pasta is best, we all love to carb-load--you'll realize this is just another passion of ours.
The same way you might spend hours playing Minecraft or hours dancing in front of the mirror to get that last turn perfect, that is how we athletes feel. But count yourselves luckier than us. Your season doesn't end. Ours does and, sometimes, the timing of that ending proves to be the most difficult part of the season.

YardTrainer 350
- Rechargeable System
- 300 Yard Range
- Waterproof receiver and transmitter
- 8 stimulation levels with tone only Button
- Low-battery detect feature
- Basic Training Instructions with Pro Trainer Charlie Jurney
You've landed on the support page for the YardTrainer 350. How can we help you?
- Can I attach a leash to the receiver collar?
Never attach a leash to the receiver collar. You may put a separate non-metallic collar on your dog's neck and attach a leash. Be sure the extra collar does not interfere with the Contact Points.
- Can I use the Trainer on aggressive dogs?
We do not recommend any of our products to be used on aggressive dogs. We recommend you contact your local veterinarian or professional trainer to determine if your dog might be aggressive.
- Can my dog wear his tags on the training collar?
We recommend that tags be located on the top of the collar at the back of the dog's neck. Metal tags coming in contact with the probes will not drain the battery but could cause a short that could cause the batteries to drain prematurely or even cause the system to stop working.
- Do I have to charge the transmitter and receiver at the same time?
No. The transmitter and the receiver can be charged separately if necessary.
- How do I know if my collar is placed correctly on my dog?
You'll need enough room to slip 2 fingers under the collar placed on the upper portion of your dog's neck. The Collar Receiver should not be worn for more than 8 hours out of every 24-hour period. Your dog's neck and the Contact Points must be washed weekly with a washcloth and mild hand soap, then rinsed thoroughly.
To ensure a proper fit, follow these steps:
- With your dog standing, center the Collar Receiver where the Contact Points are underneath your dog's neck, touching the skin. If your dog has a long or thick coat, trim the hair around the Contact Points to ensure consistent contact.
- The Collar Receiver should fit snugly, yet loose enough to allow one finger to fit between the strap and your dog's neck.
- Allow your dog to wear the collar for several minutes, and then recheck the fit. Check the fit again as your dog becomes more comfortable wearing the Collar Receiver.
- How do I reset the collar receiver?
- Turn the Collar Receiver off.
- Press and hold the On/Off Button. The Receiver Indicator Light will come on and stay solid, and then turn off after 4-5...
- How long can I continuously deliver stimulation to my dog?
The maximum amount of time you can press the Continuous Stimulation Button and deliver stimulation to your dog continuously is 8 seconds. After 8 seconds, the Remote Transmitter will "time out," and the Continuous Stimulation Button must be released and pressed again.
- How old does a dog have to be before using it?
Your dog should be able to learn basic obedience commands such as "Sit" or "Stay." The Collar Receiver may be too large for dogs under 8 pounds.
- Is the stimulation safe for my dog?
While the stimulation is unpleasant, it is harmless to your dog. Electronic training devices require interaction and training from the owner to achieve desired results.
- What do I do if my dog's neck becomes red and irritated?
This condition is due to the Contact Points irritating the skin. Discontinue use of the Collar Receiver for a few days. If the condition persists beyond 48 hours, see your veterinarian. Once the skin returns to normal, resume use, and monitor the skin condition closely.
- What is pressure necrosis?
To prevent injury to your pet, please read and follow this important safety information. Proper fit of the collar is important. A collar worn for too long, or made too tight on the pet's neck may cause skin damage. This is called bed sores; it is also called decubitus ulcers. If not addressed, sores can worsen, turning into a condition known as pressure necrosis, or advanced bed sores.
Millions of pets are comfortable while they wear stainless steel contacts. Some pets are sensitive to contact pressure. Some owners may make the collar too tight. You may find that your pet is tolerant of the collar. If so, you may relax some of these precautions. It is important to continue checks of the contact area. If redness or sores are found, discontinue use. Wait until the skin has fully healed to use the collar. Resume following all precautions.
Pressure from the contacts can prevent proper blood flow to the skin and cause bed sores. Wet and dust can lead to an increased risk of skin irritation. Bed sores begin as redness of the skin. If left untreated, increased symptoms will occur. These can include hair loss in the affected area, oozing, sores, open sores and scab formation. Bacterial infection is common in advanced bed sores. See a veterinarian if you find open sores or an odor. Keep the area clean and dry to promote healing.
Bed sores are preventable. Proper collar adjustment is critical. Pressure is the primary cause. Perform daily checks of the contact area. Early detection is critical to prevent bed sores. If you find redness during the inspection remove the collar. Wash and dry the pet's neck, collar and contacts. Wait until all redness has cleared before placing the collar back on your pet.
Avoid leaving the collar on the pet for more than 12 hours in a day. Moving the collar every 1 to 2 hours may help. Moving the collar restores blood flow and allows mild irritation to heal. This limit cannot replace proper collar adjustment and checks of the contact area. If you observe redness in the contact area, stop using the collar immediately. Wash and dry the affected area, collar, and contacts. Wait until the skin has fully returned to normal before resuming use of the collar.
These steps will help keep your pet safe and comfortable. Failure to follow the procedures described may lead to advanced bed sores. If the sore is small and closed, immediately stop using the product. Clean and dry the area and apply antibiotic ointment to the sore. Clean the collar and contacts. If large or open sores appear, have your pet seen by a veterinarian. Discontinue use of the product until the affected area has healed.
Some descriptions of advanced bed sores or pressure necrosis describe the sores as looking like burns on the dog's neck. Be assured that electronic collars do not use enough energy to create burns. The energy in an output pulse is less than a few thousandths of a Joule; it is similar in nature to the static pulse that you may feel when getting out of your car.
- What level should I use for my dog?
Every dog is different and you cannot predict where your dog's Recognition Level will be. Watch closely for any slight change in behavior that tells you your dog is feeling the stimulation.
- With the Collar Receiver turned on and properly fitted to your dog, set the Remote Transmitter's Intensity Dial at Level 1 and press the Continuous Stimulation Button for 1 to 2 seconds.
- If your dog shows no reaction to Level 1, go to Level 2 and repeat the process. YOUR DOG SHOULD NOT VOCALIZE OR PANIC WHEN RECEIVING STIMULATION. IF THIS HAPPENS, THE STIMULATION LEVEL IS TOO HIGH AND YOU NEED TO GO BACK TO THE PREVIOUS LEVEL AND REPEAT THE PROCESS.
- Once you find your dog's Recognition Level, this is the level you should use when you begin a training exercise.
- If you have progressed to Level 8 while searching for your dog's Recognition Level and your dog continues to show no response, check to see if Collar Receiver is snug against your dog's neck. Then go back to Intensity Level 1 and repeat the process. If your dog still does not indicate he is feeling the stimulation, you have two options: you may either have to trim the hair beneath the Contact Points or switch to the longer Contact Points included in your system.
- Will I get exactly the posted range?
The range you get with your product will vary according to terrain, weather, vegetation, as well as transmission from other radio devices. Depending on the way you hold the Remote Transmitter, the maximum range may vary. For consistent results at longer ranges, hold the Remote Transmitter in a vertical position away from your body and above your head. Terrain, weather, vegetation, transmission from other radio devices, and other factors will affect the maximum range.
- Will it damage the receiver if my dog goes swimming?
No, your SportDOG receiver(s) are waterproof and submersible, with the exception of the SD-105 and SD-105S, which are waterproof but not water submersible. If the Collar Receiver is used in or around salt water, the Collar Receiver should be rinsed with fresh water following each use. Prior to rinsing, the rubber charging jack cover should be removed from the power plug socket and left out until the Collar Receiver has air dried.
- Will the signal from my SportDOG e-collar interfere with another SportDOG e-collar?
No. Each SportDOG system has its own frequency ID code so that other SportDOG systems will not experience conflicting signals. In the very rare event that this happens, please see Troubleshooting in your product manual for help on changing your product's ID codes.
- The Intensity Dial seems difficult to rotate. Is this normal?
Yes. This prevents accidental changes in intensity and encourages an optimal waterproof seal. The knob will "break in" and be slightly easier to turn as you use it.
- Can I program my Yardtrainer 350 to work with my other SportDOG Brand® systems?
No. The YardTrainer 350 is not compatible with any other SportDOG Brand systems.View Support Topic

Two Drive-By Shootings-No Injuries
By KRWG News
Las Cruces – Las Cruces Police are investigating two drive-by shootings that occurred Monday morning at a residence on Birch Court.
Just before 4 a.m. Monday, Dec. 14, police were dispatched to the 1600 block of Birch Court after residents reported hearing gunshots. Officers arrived to find one vehicle damaged by gunshots. About two hours later, at around 6:15 a.m., police were called back to the neighborhood after shots were fired at the same home.
No injuries were reported during either incident.
Detectives learned that a dark-colored vehicle may have been used on both occasions.
Anyone with information on these incidents is asked to call Las Cruces Crime Stoppers at 526-8000 or outside the Las Cruces area at 1-800-897-2746.

In the modern world of symbolic mathematics software that can carry out computations to thousands of places, it would seem that knowing how to do them would be of minor importance. However, there is a certain awe and feeling of accomplishment in knowing how to program a computer to carry out computations to a very large number of places. This requires a detailed knowledge of arithmetic, numbers and the potential errors that are invariably present in computer arithmetic.
In some ways, the techniques presented here can be considered extreme numerical and algorithmic analysis, for even though the fundamental operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, they must be done efficiently and extremely accurately. I personally have always been fascinated with high precision arithmetic, for like most mathematicians, I always want to take a peek a little farther down the mathematical road than I have before. This book can give you the knowledge that will allow you to look some distance down that road of working with numbers of arbitrary size or precision. The level of delivery is that of the graduate student with some experience in number theory and significant background in computer arithmetic and how numbers are stored.
When I teach a course in the fundamentals of arithmetic for budding teachers, I always made a point of writing very large integers on the board and explaining to the students how the addition algorithm allows them to add together any two integers, no matter how large. I used the numbers as a demonstration of how powerful algorithms can be. That wonder was revisited for me when I read this book.

By Jim GaramoneAmerican Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, June 29, 2007 Coalition forces are in control of more than 50 percent of Baghdad and are making progress in the rest, the coalition's military commander in the city said today.
Army Maj. Gen. Joseph F. Fil Jr. spoke to Pentagon reporters from his command post at Camp Liberty, Iraq. He commands the Multinational Division Baghdad.
The coalition strategy starts with disrupting the enemy in Baghdad neighborhoods and moves through clearance, controlling, retention and finally transitions to wholly Iraqi security forces control. There are 474 mahalas – neighborhoods – in Baghdad, and coalition forces track progress in each, Fil said.
In April, coalition forces were in the first phase – disruption – in 41 percent of the mahalas, 35 percent were in the clearing process, and 19 percent of the mahalas were in the control phase.
"That has come up significantly, and now we're at about 15, 16 percent of these are in the disruption phase," Fil said. Thirty-six percent of the mahalas – 191 – are in the clear phase, "which means we're in there with our forces and the Iraqi security forces in active operations."
Around 195 of the mahalas are in control, and "then there are actually a little over 7 percent of them, 34 of the mahalas, that have actually transitioned into the retain pace. So control and retain together is about 48 and something percent."
The numbers will continue to change as more progress is made, Fil said. The number of neighborhoods in clearance of forces remains relatively constant, "because that's as much work as we are confident in doing with the forces we have available," Fil said.
Coalition forces are aggressively conducting operations throughout the capital and denying sanctuary for al Qaeda and other extremist groups in areas like East Rashid, Mansour, Amiriyah and Adhamiya, Fil said. "We are hitting them where it hurts, and we're taking away their ability to control neighborhoods and brutalize the population," he said.

I bought a Nike sensor a long time ago, with the promise that I would start running/walking more often and be able to track my progress. Turns out I didn't use it and when I finally decide to give it a try the sensor was dead already. :(
Not willing to buy a new one ($20.00) value I decide to search for options.
This instructables offers my take on replacing the battery of the Nike sensor.
Disclaimer: few of the pictures are not mine and I will provider the proper credit.
Please don't forget to rate this instructables if you like it. Thank you
Step 1: Disassemble the sensor
Step 2: The Idea
I was wondering whether I was going to put a new battery back and close again or if I wanted to have the means to replace it again in the future. So I decided to do it in a way that I would be able to replace the battery without having to open the sensor again.
After some research I decided to use this battery holder:
Step 3: The Execution
After removing the battery I glued the sensor to the case with electrical tape;
I also remove the battery contacts, leaving only the wires;
I drill a small hole to the top of the case, where the wires will come of the sensor;
Glued the battery holder and solder the batter wires to it;
At this point the sensor was already working but I had to address the wires.
Step 4: Protecting the wires
Same thing here :)
Using some electrical tape I made a "mold" to pour the hot glue. Atter that, let it dry and trim the edges.
no, it will go to a little pouch that I am also making.
I still have to cover the sensor with shrink tube, to make sure everything will be in place and then in the pouch.
I will have more info about the pouch, as a "bonus round", here, as soon I have it done.
thank you again

Dougan Says Faster Asset Reduction Will Benefit Credit Suisse
Feb. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Credit Suisse Group AG Chief Executive Officer Brady Dougan said the acceleration of the bank's risk-reduction program will benefit the company as competitors also will seek to cut assets.
The "bulk" of risk-weighted asset reductions by European banks is still to come, Dougan told journalists at a press conference in Zurich today. Speeding up Credit Suisse's asset cuts "will put us in a better position," he said.
Credit Suisse, the second-biggest Swiss bank, earlier today reported its first quarterly loss since 2008 as measures taken to expedite a revamp of the investment bank hurt earnings. The investment bank cut risk-weighted assets by 35 billion Swiss francs ($38.4 billion) in the three-month period on a Basel III basis, and now aims to complete the reductions planned for 2012 by the end of the first quarter.
While acceleration of the cuts "cost us money" in the fourth quarter, it would probably have cost more if it were done later, Dougan said. That will give Credit Suisse an advantage on competitors that are seeking to trim assets as well, he said.
Twenty-two European lenders plan to cut risk-weighted assets by a combined 1.2 trillion euros ($1.6 trillion), or about 15 percent, Kian Abouhossein, an analyst at New York-based JPMorgan Chase & Co., estimated last year.
Capital Ratios
Credit Suisse said in November it will lower risk-weighted assets by 110 billion francs, including some 99 billion francs at the investment bank's fixed-income unit, by the end of 2014. About 80 billion francs of risk-weighted asset cuts were planned for this year. The bank doesn't plan to increase the total amount of reductions, Dougan said.
Risk-weighted asset reductions will help the bank boost its capital ratios under Basel III rules, which lag behind some rivals. Credit Suisse said today it expects to have a common equity ratio of 7.1 percent on fully applied Basel III rules by the end of this year and 9.9 percent by the end of 2013.
"Despite the effective deleveraging and the dividend cut, Credit Suisse's Basel III look-through ratio still appears at the low end of global peers of 8 to 10 percent by the end of 2012," said Huw van Steenis, a London-based analyst at Morgan Stanley.
The Zurich-based company will propose a cash distribution to shareholders of 75 centimes a share for 2011, down from 1.30 francs a share for the previous year.

Sacramento State's Hornet Racing Team turned a physics lesson about building miniature cars from gears, axles, and electric motors into an unforgettable experience for some Highlands High School physics students on Friday.
A group of about 25 juniors and seniors in Dan Sisneros' physics class received hands-on guidance from the group of college engineering majors in building the cars and manipulating the placement of gears to propel them up a 30-degree slope.
Several members of the Hornet Racing Team, also known as Formula SAE Sac State, assisted groups of about three students for a class period, helping them reach their goal of building a car.
The Hornet Racing Team's presence was an opportunity to expose high school students to what they might like to study in college, Sisneros said.

Portrait of a Yarmouth artist as a young man
YARMOUTH — Kyler Ross grew up in a creative, artistic home. His mother Lisa is a painter and jewelry maker, his father Dale is a furniture maker.
At age 5, Kyler starting taking pictures. But he said something changed for him at age 12 when he really became intrigued by photography.
"I began taking photographs every day, started reading about photography and became more and more interested in it," he said. "It is a passion I have, and is something I want to continue and learn more about."
Now 14, Ross will open his first photography exhibit at 317 Main Street Music Center on Friday, May 15, at 6 p.m. All proceeds from the show, which will run through July 2, will help pay Ross' $2,300 tuition to the Maine Media Workshop in Rockport this summer.
The two-week program is an opportunity for Ross to meet like-minded students of photography, hone his skills and learn more about the art.
"There may be other kids who attend, but it is an adult program with professional photographers," Ross said. "I want to be around people who are as passionate about this as I am."
Ross said he enjoys taking extreme close-ups, called macro photography; he will focus on a dew drop on a flower petal, rather than the entire plant. He said he also likes to experiment with lighting.
"When I go outside and walk around with my camera, it is almost meditative," he said. "I am in the present, I get in the zone. I just think it is thrilling."
Lisa Ross, Kyler's mother, said he has a talent and a vision that comes from within.
"He sees things from a different perspective," she said. "I love what he sees and how he sees it. It is a raw talent, it is impressive."
Lisa Williams of Yarmouth Arts said Ross' exhibit is a collaboration between the non-profit organization and 317 Main Street Community Music Center. It is coordinated by a group of volunteers committed to sharing art with the community.
"Ross is exceptional photographer," Williams said. "I am fascinated with his sense of light and space and how he uses them selectively. His work does something besides show the subject matter, it draws you into the image on a distinct visual path."
Ross said he would eventually like to be a professional photographer.
"I know it is rare to have this kind of direction now," he said, "but I am very happy about it."

Don't forger to vote for Arcadecraft on Steam Greenlight!
Help support development of Arcadecraft for PC by buying it through the link below!
Check back for more information and Beta improvements!
While we are writing this there are now 1431 scores on the Arcadecraft Scoreboard! It has been steadily increasing since the game went live at around 215 new scores per day. It is really great that so many people have been playing the game and enjoying it.
There are also some pretty amazing numbers up on the board, with Random Fires being the first to $1,000,000! It also seems a good deal of players on the board are also in the high six figure range which is pretty awesome to see! It more or less proves that many people really understand the game mechanics.
However, there have been a few people confused or concerned when it comes to how the scoreboard is represented, and we don't really blame them.
As crazy as it sounds it took us a while to nail down what we wanted to do with this tracking system and in the end we probably settled on a design that didn't really work and got a bit worse when we took out one of the more important features.
What the current design is:
The Gamertag of the player, the date of their CURRENT game, and then their best total gross in a single playthrough.
This creates confusion as it seems as though a player in May, 1981 has $500,000. That simply isn't the case.
What the design was meant to be:
The Gamertag of the player, The name of their arcade, the date of their current game, and their best total gross.
As we approached the end of version 1.0 of the game we got concerned that the swear filter wasn't strong enough and there were ways a person could be clever (or obvious) and get around it, so we hid the arcade names which kind of broke how the date works in terms of design.
If you were tracking a good player and they had "Hamster Arcade" and made $500,000 by the end of the game, and then you saw that they changed the arcade name to "Laser Arcade" and were currently on Feb of 1982, you would mentally know that they opened up a new space and were going again.
Since the arcade name got dropped the confusion got worse, even though it probably still would have been confusing anyway. We needed to keep the date active as well otherwise all of the dates would simply represent the end date of the game, and then no one would know if that player had restarted their playthrough.
What the design really should be:
The Gamertag, The name of their arcade, the date of their current game, their current gross, and their best total gross.
That way you could see if a player had a chance of beating their best total gross in their current playthrough.
Now there isn't enough room on the current board for all of that info, but there is if we drop the column where the arcade names would have resided, and we may do that sooner rather than later.
We thought that we should give people an update on how things are shaping up on Arcadecraft!
Arcadecraft was put into Peer Review about two weeks ago on the Microsoft App Hub. It was sitting at 91% through the process after about 5 days of being available for App Hub members to test out. During this time, one reviewer found a problem in how the game handles memory (it runs out). The issue discovered was quite rare, and only reveals itself after around 3 straight hours of play.
In a bit of a panic we went looking to see what was causing the problem with the game that we thought we had previously solved a few posts back about optimizing our artwork. Turns out that the way we went about handling our assets caused an incredible memory bloat. Once it was known we did an 18 hour or so mad rush of work where we were able to solve the memory problem completely! In fact it solved it so well that there is now room left over for a good 30 or so more machines in the game, that we can add if/when we do an update! The savings were also so great that the overall game smoothness has been improved and we were able to load certain higher res textures back into the game!
However, as it was unknown what would happen if the original build hit 100% in Peer Review and we had the updated fix available in the meantime we decided to pull the previous build from Peer Review. This caused a full week penalty from being able to submit the game to Peer Review again! We did this simply because this new build is the far better experience than the older one and we would much rather you play something that isn't going to fail on you.
Well, the week long penalty is over and Arcadecraft has once again returned to Peer Review! If it is able to pass through the process by Monday or Tuesday you may be playing the Xbox 360 version of the game as early as the 31st of January! We certainly hope this is the case and if so you can expect a press release, new media, an updated FAQ, roadmap, price, and a game to play!
In other news, last weekend (Jan 19th) Firebase Industries attended the Vancouver Film School Game Design Expo. At the event we had a table set up with the latest build of Arcadecraft as well as Orbitron: Revolution! A great time was had and we talked to a good number of people about our games and recieved some fantastic feedback!
This is what you should see appear on Xbox Live Indie Games in the near future!
We are in the final stages of playtesting and moving into Peer Review within a few days. All being well Arcadecraft should become available soon!
Thank you for following development of the game! It has been a little over 10 months since we started and can't wait to get the game in your hands!
Arcadecraft for Xbox 360 has entered the Playtesting phase on the AppHub site for XNA members! We are already getting all kinds of really good feeback about the game and how the design goals are being communicated to the players.
Some content is still being added to the game as well to help reinforce certain game mechanics and completely flesh out the visuals. Studio X is once again supporting us with in game audio and much of it has been integrated so far. We recently modified the camera so that it can pitch up and down, getting you closer to the action! Everything is coming together really well and we can't wait to get the game in your hands!
Thank you for your interest and support of Arcadecraft!
Here are some new cabinets that have been added recently!

We are getting reaction Wednesday to the death of New Mexico House of Representatives Speaker Ben Lujan.
He died late Tuesday at a Santa Fe hospital after battling lung cancer for two years.
Lujan, who represented Santa Fe, was House speaker for 12 years before publicly announcing his illness last January.
Lujan was 77 - he had served in the state House since 1975 in a variety of leadership positions.
Other political players were quick to respond to Lujan's death at the Roundhouse Wednesday.
"Well I'm very sad today," said former Governor Bill Richardson.
"He was a giant in New Mexico politics and government and probably the best legislator New Mexico ever had. He was also a very good simple guy who cared about the little people."
Lujan himself was a little guy physically, but he was an enormous force in the legislature and in state politics.
His spouse, children and grandchildren were with him when he died.
Funeral arrangements are not yet final.
One of Lujan's survivors is his son, Ben Ray Lujan, who represents New Mexico's 3rd Congressional District.
House majority speaker Ken Martinez was nominated to fill Lujan's position last week. He represents parts of Cibola, McKinley and San Juan counties.
His nomination can't be finalized until the legislature starts up again in January.
Watch our evening newscasts tonight for more reaction to Lujan's passing.
