The oppression of taxis
- Ivo Vegter
- 20 Dec 2010 11:50 (South Africa)
On a recent road trip, I took the opportunity to use minibus taxis. Research, you see.
I chose them as a cheap means of getting from Brooklyn, Pretoria to a coffee date with Daily Maverick editors and friends in Rosebank, Johannesburg. When I arrived, only a few minutes late, Xanthi Payi expressed his astonishment that I'd take my life in my hands, and I was declared blacker than Sipho Hlongwane.
The three-leg route (from Brooklyn to the Pretoria city centre, to Park Station in Braamfontein, and thence to Rosebank) took about two hours. Much of that was accounted for by an accident near Midrand. I never had to wait more than a few minutes for a taxi, no matter whether it was at a rank or along the road. The total fare each way was R46.50.
Not much had changed since I first used them in the mid-1990s.
Although only one of the six taxis I used was one of the fancy new models financed under the taxi-recapitalisation plan, the vehicles are for the most part in good repair.
Drivers are, with few exceptions, highly skilled and professional. Sure, they push into small gaps, but so does most everyone else in Gauteng. At least taxi drivers have the excuse that they're on a tight schedule, harrassed by taxi owners and passengers alike. If you work with them, they'll return the favour.
The taxi ranks might look chaotic, but they run like clockwork, and every one has a few fellows on duty who'll see a lost-looking mlungu and shout, "Speak, friend!"
You still need your arithmetic wits about you if you're in the front seat, collecting fares and passing back change. You can still use your mobile phone without fearing it will get stolen, and are still likely to find an interesting conversation en route. You still get no mercy from drivers and occupants who find it amusing not to speak English. And you're still as uncomfortable as everyone else when it's 34°C outside. Sweat is the great equaliser.
Amid the noise and haste, the minibus taxis got me there and back in perfect safety, perfectly cheaply. It was all very familiar. Why fix what works?
The taxi industry is an icon for what capitalists can do when there is market demand, and entrepreneurs are left free to innovate to meet the demand.
South Africa used to be a country in which the state forcibly moved its lowest-paid working class as far as possible away from their places of work. This evil created a clear need: inexpensive, readily available transport for the masses.
Where there's a need, there's a profit opportunity. This was no exception, and so, the minibus taxi industry was born.
That a free market cannot work when the market is poor is one of the myths that it shattered. The relatively low incomes of passengers simply meant that prices had to be low. Profit came only with hard work and impressive economies of scale.
Another myth the taxis disproved is that only the massive coffers of the state can support large-scale services such as public transport. This industry thrived despite government, not because it offered help.
With the birth of this industry also came problems, of course. South Africa was always bad at protecting lives and property, especially if you were black. In such an environment, it was little wonder that legitimate measures to protect their own property soon extended to underhanded and sometimes violent means to quash competition.
This, however, is not an argument against the taxi industry, but against a government that is unable to enforce laws that prevent intimidation and violence to protect the business interests of commercial cartels.
The iron-fisted rule of the taxi associations, the firm grip they have on routes, and the short shrift they give to rivals, is a troubling feature of the industry. It limits competition, which reduces capital investment and keeps prices fixed.
Passengers are well aware of this, and would gladly choose alternatives, if they're perceived to be cheaper, faster or safer.
Unfortunately, instead of enforcing laws that would enable free-market competition to meet this desire, the state is heading the other way. It is building alternative public transport options, and pouring taxpayer billions into them.
The driver on the Johannesburg-Pretoria run does the hour-long trip about six times a day. Each run is worth exactly R660, at R30 a head. He earns R1,300 a week for his trouble, though he thinks he's worth R2,000.
He's not sure when the Gautrain will start running, but doesn't expect it will take his passengers away. That's because he thinks it will cost R100 like the Sandton-airport route, and even if it's only R50, he offers a better price.
When I said it would be more like R25, he was speechless. His eyes wide in disbelief, he waited for me to say I was kidding.
I wasn't. Gautrain spokespeople are coy about exactly what it will charge when the service goes into operation in the second quarter of next year, but the likely price on the Johannesburg-Pretoria run will be less than a taxi fare. And it will be faster. And quieter. And cooler. And unaffected by traffic jams.
As if tax-funded undercutting is not enough, soon there will be many new toll points on the road, too, and the government is merely "considering discounts for public transport vehicles".
In short, by Easter, the minibus taxi drivers will be screwed, their Public Driver's Permits as useless as the government that issues them.
The Gautrain people will tell you, as they told me, that they're creating thousands of jobs. To be exact, it has created 96,600 "direct, indirect and induced" jobs to date. Ignoring the weasel-words in that description that scream "speculation", this isn't the whole story. After the construction phase, that number suddently drops to only 2,700.
And even if you grant every one of the jobs they claim (even the "induced" ones), this is still a whole lot of jobs created by private airport shuttle services and taxi owners, stolen, and then handed to other people who did nothing to deserve them and can't cut the mustard without tens of billions of rands in taxpayer largesse.
It's one thing for someone to lose out against fair competition in the open market. When rivals have to meet the same costs, but have found a way to sell a better service more cheaply, the loser has to improve, or go out of business. That's how the market works to ensure the survival of only those suppliers who prove to be the best at meeting demand.
This, however, is different. This is competition by the state, using exclusive rights not available to citizens, and artificially propped up by taxpayer funding. In short, by its use of force – first in extorting the tax required as capital, and then in imposing laws that favour it – it is the most unfair competition imaginable.
Even when it falls into disrepair and fails, as so many public works projects have done before, it will probably be allowed to survive, like an undead monster feeding on other people's money as it tramples private entrepreneurs underfoot.
Now, it would be nice to explain to taxi associations why free-market competition is a good thing. Why, instead of operating like a mafia cartel, they should submit to the laws that grant everyone equal right to operate a business for profit.
But how do you explain this to a guy who worked hard to qualify as a driver and earn himself a slot on a profitable route, only to lose it, not to a harder-working rival but to someone with a cosy government job for when he's not on strike?
How do you explain to a taxi owner, who took the risks of building his business and investing in his fleet that half of it will be standing idle from April next year, because the government that is supposed to protect his property has decided to put him out of business instead?
You can't. Because there is no way to explain that in terms that do not justify their own resort to mob tactics and violence.
Update, 7 April 2011: The Gautrain has released fares for its new routes. The route in question, from Park Station in Johannesburg to the Pretoria CBD, will cost R37, or R7 more than a taxi trip. Toll fees have yet to be priced into taxi fares. The full Gautrain fares schedule can be downloaded here. DM

Read: Ulf Samuelsson Is A Positive Influence
In the NY Post, Larry Brooks writes that assistant coach Ulf Samuelsson has been conducting one-on-one conversations with his defensemen during practices, on and off the ice, as well as one the bench during play.
Michael Del Zotto told Brooks that Samuelsson is very positive, very supportive and does a great job at helping build up a players confidence.
He adds that Samuelsson, because of his career as a defenseman, understands that mistakes will happen and that when they do he is supportive and sends them back onto the ice so that they can learn and be better.

Enemy: New Orleans Pelicans
3SOB Forecast*: 36-46
What's the story with the Pellies?
In this era of chutes and ladders in today's NBA, it is nice to see a franchise turn the corner and begin to push the trend in the right direction. Things are changing for the organization in New Orleans, and that statement stands for far more than just the logo and jerseys.
The bad news for the Grizzlies is that the implication of this involves Jrue Holiday moving into their division, completing the circuit and ensuring that there will be no such thing as an easy out in any division game this year.
The Pelicans officially signified a desire to be done with the rebuild phase by consummating the trade that sent Holiday their way from Philadelphia in exchange for their sixth overall pick, which was initially used on Kentucky standout Nerlens Noel, as well as their upcoming 2014 selection. With their draft pick nearly locked out of reach as it carries only top-three protection, their incentive to endure another season of poor performance is mitigated even further.
With a new lease on life as a franchise, the Pelicans were aggressive this off-season in ways that they arguably never were before. Even in the Chris Paul era, the usual summer splashes involved surrounding the point guard with aging veterans and bargain bin underachievers. The Holiday trade signaled the change in direction, but they did not stop there. They followed with zealous pursuit of restricted free agent, 2010 Rookie of the Year Tyreke Evans. The ultimate execution of a sign-and-trade deal for Evans cost them rockstar assist-man and former Grizzly Greivis Vasquez, but the swap adds a great deal of athleticism and variability to their offensive attack, where Vasquez would have prompted a lot of overlap between he and Holiday.
The fact that we're this far in and have comfortably neglected mention of second-year phenom Anthony Davis to this point says a lot about the type of off-season that the team had. Coupling the exciting additions with the oozing promise of the sublimely versatile Davis's development and Coach Monty Williams's grasp on how to motivate the troops, you have the formula for what could finally wash that sour taste left by CP3's departure right out of the mouths of the artists formerly known as Hornets fans. Throw in the fact that they're getting the 2014 All-Star game, and there's a lot to look forward to in New Orleans.
Super sixth-man Ryan Anderson's summer story was the only real point of depression to damper the mood, as he lost his girlfriend of two years to suicide. Thoughts go out to him during this tough time.
Who are they cooking with?
PG: Jrue Holiday
SG: Eric Gordon
SF: Tyreke Evans
PF: Anthony Davis
C : Jason Smith
6 : Ryan Anderson
It is an interesting road that brought Tyreke Evans to New Orleans. The tune rapidly distorted from one of "[Tyreke] won't go anywhere for any amount" as a three, to him having "no problem at all" with playing the small forward. Maybe I'm stretching here, but I have a little hunch that there are 44 million reasons for the turnaround.
How do the other numbers feel about it? He clearly had the most productive season as a pro in his rookie year, playing the point guard nearly 30% of the time — more than he has over the next three years. A major issue for playing him on the ball, though is his inability to work both sides of the floor. Looking at last season's shot distribution, he took a mere 8% of his shots from the left side of the floor, opposed by measurements of 73% in the middle and 19% to the right. Keeping him off the ball more enables his team to hide his one-sided playmaking to some degree. His outside shooting is improving, as his 33.8% rate in 2012-13 was far and away the best of his career, exhibiting further improvement of his off-ball prospects. As for whether he plays at the two or the three, his productivity does seem to take a dive when lined up against bigger small forwards. His eFG% for example, according to 82games, dropped from 52.0 to 45.3 when he slid up to the small forward spot.
The rest of the backcourt will be predicated on Holiday's continued development and $58 million man Eric Gordon's ability to simply stay on the court. If Gordon's miserable injury woes extend into this season, the talk of Evans at the three could all be moot, as he'll find himself back playing the two with Al-Farouq Aminu re-joining the starting lineup. As for Holiday, his ascent into the league's elite class of point guards was quick and impressive last season. His 8.0 assists per game should only ascend even higher given a stronger supporting cast in New Orleans versus the group he had in Philly.
If you've been keeping score, there is a name that has been conspicuously absent from this discussion: Austin Rivers. Rivers had one of the more statistically atrocious rookie seasons we have ever seen from a lottery pick, but is determined to put a stop to the downhill slope of his career in a hurry. He started by helping his cause with 18.2 points per game in the Summer League on a near 50% clip from the field.
The last pantheon for the Pelicans to conquer will be the battle in the paint. Jason Smith is serviceable backup with a solid mid-range jumper, but he's not exactly what you aspire to at the featured center position, while conventional logic holds the more collectively talented post permutation of Anderson and Davis each most effective at the four. There have been rumblings of the existence of mutual benefit in an inter-division swap of Anderson for Houston's Asik, so this will be a situation to monitor going forward.
How do the good guys stack up?
Chip Crain:
Pelicans aren't exactly terrifying birds unless you are a small fish and that imagery carries over to the basketball court unfortunately. Tyreke Evans, the talent without a position, and Eric Gordon make for a scary perimeter duo on paper but how well they will mix in still unknown. Jrue Holliday is a potent scoring PG. Anthony Davis an active big on both ends of the court but there is not a tremendous amount of depth to the team and very little chemistry overall. New Orleans also doesn't get much support from the home fans making their home court something less than it could be. Jason Smith, Al-Farouq Aminu and Austin Rivers will be asked to step up their roles on the team but can they do it is the big question as is Ryan Anderson's mental state after the suicide of his ex girlfriend. The Pelicans are well coached and give great effort every night enabling them to handle the smaller fishes around the league but the bigger fish don't have to worry and right now the Grizzlies are a team that eats the bigger fish. New Orleans could steal a game but shouldn't be a threat this season.
Phillip Dean:
With a new nickname, new uniforms, and new players the New Orleans Pelicans are definitely on the rise and quickly working its way to a playoff team. Bringing in talented guards such as Tyreke Evans and Jrue Holliday to this team will make this team a lot quicker and more fun to watch. Eric Gordon is still a gifted talent in the NBA but when you put him against a true defender like Tony Allen he will be shut down. I'm interested to see if the Pelicans keep Eric Gordon or have him on the trading block. If so the Pelicans will have to pay him $14 million till the 2015-2016 seasons. The true superstar of this team that stands head and shoulders above everyone else (literally and figuratively) and that guy is Anthony Davis. Davis is the franchise player that I clearly see is going to be the glue to this franchise that holds all of it together for the Pelicans. I personally feel Anthony Davis will be a true threat to the Memphis Grizzlies backcourt this season. His length and versatility will be hard to stop.
I still believe that the grit and grind defense that Memphis brings every game will still hurt the Pelicans this season. I expect Tony Allen working on shutting the water down on guys such as Gordon and Holliday. Mike Conley is improving more and more each season and he can still be one of the top leaders in steals and will prove that against the Pelicans. Tayshaun Prince has a tough matchup this season with Al-Farouq Aminu. Aminu is a great defender for the Pelicans and Prince will have his hands full with him this season. The Grizzlies will face the Pelicans four times this season and I see Memphis winning the series 3-1.
Mason Ginsberg (of Bourbon Street Shots):
It is no secret that this year's New Orleans NBA franchise is vastly different from last year's team, and in more ways than just their nickname. This Pelicans roster has been totally revamped, including changes at two of the team's five starting positions – point guard and center – as well as a brand new sixth man. This team won't gel overnight, but at full strength, it should be right in the thick of the Western Conference playoff hunt. For simplicity's sake, let's focus on the Pelicans' likely "crunch time" lineup of Jrue Holiday, Eric Gordon, Tyreke Evans, Ryan Anderson, and Anthony Davis. How will this new group match up with the Grizzlies?
Back Court –
With apologies to Greivis Vasquez, this new Pelicans back court will be immensely improved from last season, particularly on the defensive end. New Orleans ranked 28th in the NBA in defensive rating last year, and while part of this was certainly due to injuries causing constantly changing rotations, another significant factor was what amounted to a swinging door on the perimeter. Upgrading from Vasquez to Holiday will make it far more difficult for opposing guards like Mike Conley to penetrate and get into the paint. Additionally, the acquisition of Tyreke Evans will give the team another athletic "utility man" of sorts to employ at either the 1, 2 or 3, depending on where he matches up best. Comparing individual players, it would appear as if the Pelicans' combo of Holiday/Gordon/Evans would have the edge over Conley/Allen/Prince; however, the cohesiveness of a unit that has played together as much as this Grizzlies team has can't be disregarded either.
Front Court –
While in terms of sheer talent, the Grizzlies' edge on the Pelicans isn't completely one-sided, the question here is how the two teams match up with each other, and there is no contest in that regard. New Orleans has no one who can contend with Marc Gasol as a paint protector, and no one who can dominate in the post like Zach Randolph. Sure, Ryan Anderson is one best stretch fours in the NBA and Anthony Davis continues to improve on both ends of the floor at a superhuman pace, but the Grizzlies will have a field day exposing how thin the Pelicans are down low. It is also important to note how this disparity will impact each team's back court, as Gasol will make very difficult for the New Orleans attacking guards.
Summary –
Last season, the difference for the Pelicans in their games against the Grizzlies came on the offensive glass, registering a 20% offensive rebound rate in their two losses and a 40% ORR in their two wins. Since then, the team lost one of their best offensive rebounders in Robin Lopez, so New Orleans will have to work even harder this season to fight for second chance points. Despite that fact, this matchup should be closer than many expect, but Memphis does still pose more problems for New Orleans than the other way around. A key for the Pelicans this year will be stretching that stout Grizzlies defense and forcing them to guard the three point line. Between Holiday, Gordon, and Anderson, New Orleans has capable long range shooters, but none besides Anderson have shown a real ability to knock those shots down consistently. If that changes, it could give the Pels the upper hand, but for now, the advantage goes to the Grizz.
When and Where do they square off?

Curbing obesity, diabetes through triathlon-A A +A
Tuesday, May 20, 2014
TRIATHLON is a fast-growing sport in the Philippines and Johan Sisno, Alfred Angcay and Paul Gotiong are just a few of those people who are getting hooked on this sport.
They are also the type of people whom you'd less likely expect to be engaged in this sport.
Sisno used to be part of the population who suffered from obesity until he found his way into running with his friend, Gotiong. Now, after a year and a half of marathon runs, he has already lost almost half of his weight.
On the other hand, Gotiong, who was diagnosed with having Type 1 Diabetes, said that he found his way into running because of his ailment.
"When we started running, we couldn't even do 1.5K," said Gotiong.
At first it was quite a challenge for the two of them but with the support of their friends and family, they were able to overcome each challenge, brave enough to finish every race.
Sisno found a group called Katambokan, his group of friends who are into running.
"It's about inspiring others, encouraging people who are obese, setting as an example to friends," he said.
Gotiong is also a member of Team Triabetics, a group of diabetic people who educated and inspired people with diabetes to overcome this ailment through multisport.
Now they are proud runners who are transitioning into triathlon.
"Most of our friends, idols and mentor are triathletes and this inspired us to try triathlon as well," Gotiong said.
But before setting their foot to this event, they had to train first if they want to finish the race.
"When I first joined triathlon, I only had a month to train para sa tanan (swimming, biking, running)," said Angcay, who was actually the first person to encouraged Sisno and Gotiong into triathlon.
Angcay said he had to manage his time well during his training because he was working at the same time. It was already his second time when he joined the triathlon in Bantayan last May 3 with his friends.
On the other hand, the newbies Sisno and Gotiong already knew biking but were not much of swimmers and so they had focus their training on that.
Gotiong trained for less than a month while it was two months for Sisno.
"We did it from scratch. We had zero swimming experience. In January, kung mag-island hopping, I won't swim. I will just stay on the boat," said Sisno.
Ancay said it is important to train with friends.
"Kung ikaw ra usa magtrain, dali ra ka kapuyon," Angcay said.
"Surround yourself with people who push you to do better," Sisno added.
Their experience with triathlon made them realize how great triathletes were, not to mention the hard-core training one has to go through before the race.
"Triathlon makes you have better respect for people who are doing it, especially for those working people," Sisno said.
"I also realized that I was mentally stronger than I thought I was," he added as he recalled his hardships during his training, which made him want to give up.
Nevertheless, he made it to the finish line because his mind was determined to do so.
"Triathlon is more of competing with yourself," Gotiong added.
The three also agreed that it was such a fulfillment to finish the race.
Sisno added that finishing the race made him realize that he could accomplish anything.
Now that they are officially considered triathletes, it seems that joining the triathlon in Argao would be the next step. And finishing no less than the Ironman would be on top of their goals.
Together, they continue to set an example to their friends and for people who know them. It's never too late for anybody.
"We are not really athletes but we have the passion to do it through healthy lifestyle. What's your excuse?" (Alvie Marie Yabo, CNU Comm. Intern)

Major in Music
A music major requires a minimum of 45 credit hours. There are four possible areas of emphasis in the bachelor of arts music degree. Majors may emphasize music performance, music history and literature, music theory, or applied music leading to vocal secondary education licensure. Students pursuing a professional career in music are advised that the master's degree is often considered the minimum training necessary. Prospective music majors, whether or not they plan to go on to graduate school, should select major courses carefully with regular advising from the department faculty.
Music majors in the emphasis in applied music leading to vocal secondary education licensure track will be strongly encouraged to take a CLEP examination to pass out of MUTH 1310 Music Fundamentals in order to take MUTH 4320 Composition I as a theory elective. Additionally, majors in this emphasis must take MUHL 3322, Survey of Western Art Music and 3341 Music History II. Students in this emphasis will also be advised to complete at least two semesters in MUAP 4113 Concert Choir. Music majors pursuing the licensure emphasis will be required to pass a piano/keyboard proficiency exam. For students entering with little or no piano/keyboard background, it may be necessary to take up to eight hours of piano/keyboard classes (MUAP 1214 Class Piano, 1244 Class Piano II, 2284 Class Piano III, and 3265 Piano Skills) in order to fulfill this requirement. Music majors in the emphasis in applied music leading to vocal secondary education licensure track must meet with the music department chairperson each semester for advising.
Minor in Music
This curriculum is designed to provide opportunities in music learning for non-music major students through courses in listening, basic musicianship, music theory, music history, and courses of special interest to the student. The curriculum is not intended to prepare a student for a career in music and does not certify a student to teach privately or in public schools. A minor in music consists of 19 course hours, including:
- Two to five hours of music theory (MUTH), to be chosen from the theory course offerings in the department.
- Six hours of music history and literature courses (MUHL), with emphasis on the development of heightened listening skills, covering the history and repertoire of musical style periods (e.g. Baroque or Classical) or musical genres (e.g. jazz, blues, or rock).
- Eight to 11 hours of electives, to be chosen from departmental offerings in music history, theory, private instruction, applied class (voice, piano, and guitar), ensembles, and music education, with the added possibility of special studies in specific areas to be offered on the basis of student interest and need and the availability of faculty. The choice of the overall program design is subject to the approval of the chairperson of the music department or an advisor designated by the chairperson.

Even though the vulnerability leveraged by the Duqu malware was addressed five months ago, Microsoft found that the same piece of code was being utilized in other products. As a result, the May 2012 security bulletins issued by the company fix a number of applications that contained the code.
The security hole existed due to an insufficient bounds check in win32k.sys, in the way it handled True Type font (TTF) parsing. The troublesome piece of code from this particular file was present in gdiplus.dll, a library used by a number of third-party applications, especially web browsers.
Microsoft Office, Silverlight, and Windows Journal also parsed fonts using the same code, making them all vulnerable.
"The Office document attack vector leveraged by the Duqu malware was addressed by MS11-087 – Duqu is no longer able to exploit that vulnerability after applying the security update. However, we wanted to be sure to address the vulnerable code wherever it appeared across the Microsoft code base," Jonathan Ness of MSRC Engineering wrote.
"To that end, we have been working with Microsoft Research to develop a 'Cloned Code Detection' system that we can run for every MSRC case to find any instance of the vulnerable code in any shipping product. This system is the one that found several of the copies of CVE-2011-3402 that we are now addressing with MS12-034."
Because of the large number of products affected by the TTF issue, it appears that the number of addressed vulnerabilities in the MS12-034 bulletin is high.
However, most of the fixes are designed for the same flaw, but because different products are affected, a separate CVE was associated to each of those flaws.
As always, users are advised to immediately apply the latest security updates to ensure the safety of their devices.

RIM might have lost a lot of market share lately, but the company appears set to make a strong comeback with the forthcoming BlackBerry 10 operating system.
The platform is set to hit the market only in the first quarter of the next year, and the Canadian handset vendor is currently applying the final touches to it.
At the Blackberry Jam Americas conference, Research In Motion provided some more info on the platform, and also announced the availability of a new developer handset, the BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha B.
The new phone comes with bumped-up specifications, featuring a 4.2-inch touchscreen display that can deliver a 1280 x 768 pixel resolution, along with 1GB of RAM and 16GB of internal memory.
The handset runs under the BlackBerry OS version 10.0.9 Bundle 388 that was already announced as currently available for the first developer smartphone as well.
The platform comes with a multi-paned homescreen, with up to 8 panes that in fact provide users with thumbnails of running applications. Developers can even set them to show some content from the software.
The platform also comes with gestures, offers fast access to features and applications, including the BlackBerry Hub (by dragging up then right), where users will find e-mail, BBM, Facebook, Twitter, and the like.
The menu options for apps can be accessed by swiping down from the top of the screen, while opened apps can be accessed swiping up from the bottom.
The operating system will also arrive on devices with a BlackBerry Balance feature, so that users can separate their personal and work lives.
Although things are already looking good, RIM still has a lot of work to do to make the BlackBerry 10 OS ready. Apparently, at least three more months will pass before the platform is released to manufacturing.
In the meantime, you can have a look at some screenshots with the platform, available courtesy of BlackBerryCool. A more detailed view of the platform can be found at The Verge.

Like-A-Hug is the world's first social media piece of clothing. This coat will hug you every time friends like your posts or pictures on Facebook.
MIT researchers put together the technologically advanced item. This device inflates every time one receives a like, and the recipient can send a like back, which would transform into a hug if the other person were wearing the jacket.
If you are not only lacking real-life affection, but your friends ignore you on Facebook as well, you can just give yourself a like for encouragement.
The Tangible Media Group at the MIT Media Lab are the developers between Like-A-Hug. Melissa KIt Chow, one of the creators of the product, explains it is aimed at bringing people together, Business Insider reports.
"Like-A-Hug is a wearable social media vest that allows for hugs to be given via Facebook, bringing us closer despite physical distance. The vest inflates when friends 'Like' a photo, video, or status update on the wearer's wall, thereby allowing us to feel the warmth, encouragement, support, or love that we feel when we receive hugs. Hugs can also be sent back to the original sender by squeezing the vest and deflating it," Mrs. Chow reports.
The gallery of innovative products premiered by the MIT Media Lab include the Guitar Hero and Rock band games, Hiriko, the foldable car, and the XO, a laptop with a display that is readable under direct sunlight, for children in Africa that go to school outdoors but can afford laptops.
In 2008, MIT Media Lab has caught readers' attention by debuting Nexi, the robot that displays human-like expressions. Nexi communicates happiness, fear, anger, surprise etc. throughout movement of its eyes, eyelids and lower jaw. The bots also replicate human response time for displaying emotion.
Check out the advert for this funny yet potentially life changing, as well as stress-relieving product below.

Controversial runner John Steffensen maintains he has been racially vilified by Athletics chiefs despite being included in a provisional list to compete in the individual 400m in London.
Steffensen revealed on the Nine Network this morning that he had complained to Athletics Australia about the racial abuse but the governing body had not acted.
Steffensen had threatened a boycott of the Olympics before launching an incredible tirade on Saturday morning after his rival Steve Solomon was named as the only athlete on the provisional list. Neither runner had posted an automatic qualifying time.
Athletics Australia chief Dallas O'Brien claimed over the weekend that John Steffensen's claims of racism are "regrettable" but no disciplinary action will be taken against the 400m runner.
AA will choose one of the athletes, who will train together in London.
They have both already been picked for the 4x400m relay.
"I've put up with being racially vilified by this federation, being discriminated against on many teams," he said of AA's decision to name the 19-year-old Solomon ahead of him for the one-lap race.
"...You think I waste my time running at training for fun? For this?
"No, they can have athletics. I don't need to do this no more."
"I don't think it helps the legitimacy of our sport or the selection criteria, and I think it only makes our sport look stupid.
"The rules and the goalposts are getting shifted. Now they're going to pick who they want to put in the team.
"You know it would help if I was a different colour.
"A lot of my decisions with my federation would be totally different.
"But I've never brought that up. I've always kept quiet on that. Because people aren't really going to want to hear that sort of stuff.
"I was going to run the relay and go home and do the right thing by the sport.
"Now I'm saying something because they're not doing the right thing by me.
"And at age 30 and the amount of years and effort I've put into the sport, the medals - everything I've done for the sport - I deserve a little bit of respect."
But O'Brien said AA made the call after only being allowed to nominate one Australian athlete under IAAF rules.
"We didn't have anywhere to move," O'Brien told Fox Sports.
"John has his own opinions. I think that's probably a statement he may regret making in future times when things settle down."
"It's an emotional business this and it's regrettable what John has said, that's a shock."
Solomon burst into contention for the individual run by posting a career-best 45.52s at the world junior championships in Barcelona this week.
Steffensen, who set his best time for the year of 45.61s in February in Sydney, defeated Solomon at the Olympic trial in March before suffering a hamstring injury that has plagued his London preparations.

Errant boys have been running through our nation's best novels for a long time. Hemingway famously declared that "all modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called 'Huckleberry Finn'," and whether you agree with that or not, boys — and men who still act like them — demand a lot of attention in our canon. But this summer, the kids lighting out for the territory come from Africa and the Middle East, and their journeys will take you somewhere entirely different.
Enaiatollah Akbari was just 10 years old when his Afghani mother sneaked him into the busy city of Quetta, Pakistan, and abandoned him in 2000. Cruel as that sounds, it was an act of love by a woman desperate to protect her elder son from Pashtun gang members and the Taliban, who had already shot his teacher and closed their village school. "The thing is, I really wasn't expecting her to go," Akbari says at the opening of In the Sea There Are Crocodiles (Doubleday, $22.95). This gripping, strangely sweet tale is labeled "a novel," but it's essentially the memoir of a lost boy tossed from country to country for five years before finding sanctuary in Italy. There, a journalist named Fabio Geda befriended Akbari and won permission to write down his story.

AIR GROUNDS CESSNA 402 FLEETCape Air, a local airline based
in Hyannis, Mass., on Tuesday voluntarily grounded 34 of its 49 Cessna
402 piston twins that fly in New England, the Caribbean and Florida
after experiencing three engine failures in three weeks. Two failures
occurred in late May, and the third on Tuesday afternoon, according to
the Boston Globe. All three airplanes landed safely
with the remaining working engine. "Several recent engine abnormalities
have led us to examine the wear-rate in one of the engine components,"
the company said in a "Travel Alert" posted on its Web site. "To eliminate
any risk this could create, replacement parts will be installed in every
airplane and we have brought in colleagues from the engine manufacturer
and the FAA to support our effort." The airline said it is grounding the
aircraft as a "conservative yet wise precaution" and expects to have
them all flying again in about two weeks. Company spokeswoman Michelle
Haynes told the Cape Cod Times it was premature to comment on how
much the repairs would cost and whether the engine manufacturer,
Continental Teledyne, would pay the costs. More...
INVESTIGATING SFO RUNWAY INCURSIONTwo airliners came within
about 50 feet of colliding at a runway intersection at San Francisco
International Airport two weeks ago, the NTSB said on Monday. At about 1:30 p.m. on May 26,
the tower air traffic controller cleared SkyWest Airlines Flight 5741,
an Embraer EMB-120 Brasilia, to land on Runway 28R. "Forgetting about
the arrival airplane, the same controller then cleared Republic Airlines
Flight 4912, an Embraer 170 departing for Los Angeles, to take off from
Runway 1L, which intersects Runway 28R," the NTSB said in a news
release. After the SkyWest airliner touched down, the Airport
Movement Area Safety System (AMASS) alerted and the air traffic
controller transmitted, "Hold, Hold, Hold" to the SkyWest flight crew.
The SkyWest crew applied maximum braking and stopped in the middle of
Runway 1L. As this was occurring, the captain of the Republic Airlines
flight took control of the aircraft from the first officer, realized the
aircraft was traveling too fast to stop, and initiated an immediate
takeoff. According to the SkyWest crew, the Republic aircraft overflew
theirs by 30 to 50 feet. More...
REMINDS PILOTS TO COMMUNICATE CLEARLYMiscommunications are a
major cause of runway incursions, the FAA said in a safety notice issued
this week. Statistics show that incursions this year are higher than
last year, with 139 incursions so far in FY2007, compared to 117 in the
same period the year before. The incursions included incidents such as
crossing hold-short lines without clearance from ATC, landing or
departing without ATC clearance, and departing from the wrong runway. To
avoid such incidents, the FAA suggests that pilots review proper radio
technique. Also, the FAA reminds pilots that a Taxi To
clearance authorizes the aircraft to cross all runways and taxiways
which the taxi route intersects. But this clearance does not authorize
the aircraft to enter or cross the assigned takeoff runway at any point.
URGES PILOTS TO REPORT FSS PROBLEMSAOPA is asking pilots to
continue reporting their experiences with Lockheed Martin's Flight
Service Station (FSS) system, noting that the this feedback provides an
important cross-check on the data supplied by Lockheed to the FAA and
other overseers. "On a day when Lockheed Martin reported that the
longest hold time for the entire system was four minutes, we had a
member report of a 20-minute hold," said AOPA President Phil Boyer. "And their system
averages seem to be much better than what our members say are their
real-time experiences. We encouraged the [Department of Transportation
Office of Inspector General] to resolve that apparent discrepancy."
Boyer said the OIG will receive a copy of every complaint that pilots
send to AOPA. More...
VLJ PRODUCTION, IMPROVEMENTS AND TRAINING UPDATEEclipse
Aircraft says its Avio NG avionics package for the Eclipse 500 very
light jet is progressing through testing at a pace that is slightly
behind schedule, but the system has been flown on one jet. A second Avio
NG-equipped 500 will fly later this month. The company believes it has
identified and resolved a pitot/AOA system icing problem discovered in
testing that resulted in loss of pitot pressure in both the left and
right primary flight displays. A new system design has been submitted to
the FAA for certification this month. Affected customers can seek
retrofits in July. A new design intended to address fatigue cracks found
in the outer layer of the windshield and side window has led to
increased inspection and replacement intervals (inspection every 300
flights and replacement at 1,500 and 600 flights for windshield and side
windows, respectively). The certification for the new window designs
begins this month. Physical modifications to the aircraft for enhanced
performance continue and certification for those is expected "soon."
ISSUES "FLIGHT PLAN" FOR NEXT FIVE YEARSThe FAA on Wednesday
released its 2008-2012 Draft FAA Flight Plan, a to-do list of the
agency's latest goals. The document is now available online for review and the FAA invites comment. "Simply put, we need to overhaul
our aviation system," the document states, and it provides a "roadmap"
to achieve that over the next five years. The FAA says its plan will
boost capacity, increase safety and diminish aviation's impact on the
environment. The document also ties the success of the next-generation
airspace system to changes in the agency's funding mechanism -- meaning
user fees. "We continue to push for a dedicated link between our
revenues and the costs to provide service. Without a steady, dependable
stream of revenue, our budget will continue to fluctuate," the document
reads. More...
DON'T BLAME GA FOR DELAYSWhen the air traffic system clogged
up along the East Coast last Friday, a spokesman for the Air Transport
Association told the media that general aviation is a significant cause
of delays. "Nothing could be further from the truth," says Dan Hubbard,
spokesman for the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA). "Almost
all delays are caused by weather and the commercial airlines
themselves." He added that the number of turbine business aircraft in
the U.S., which the airlines blame for system congestion, is deceptive
because the figure overlooks the fact that turbine business aircraft
average only about 370 flight hours per year -- less than 10 percent of
the average flight hours logged by an airliner. Patrick Forrey,
president of the National Air Traffic Controllers Association, agrees:
"Severe weather accounts for over 70 percent of delays, which are
exacerbated by the hub-and-spoke operation, and the rest is either
airline staffing woes, air traffic controller staffing shortages or the
airlines' own operations." More...
XL2 CERTIFIED IN EUROPELiberty Aerospace has received certification from
the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) for both VFR and IFR ratings
of the Liberty XL2, the company announced on Wednesday. The company now
plans to develop new overseas markets. As Libertys global
expansion continues I am confident that our aircrafts unique mix
of economy, affordability and modern technology will appeal to the world
wide GA market, company spokesman Keith Markley said in a news
release. The aircraft also has recently been certified in Indonesia and
The company hopes the airplane's fuel economy and
low maintenance costs will appeal to European buyers. This summer, the
first Liberty XL2 aircraft to be registered in Europe will fly
across Europe from north to south -- from North Cape in Norway to
Greece -- and from east to west -- Portugal to Poland -- to demonstrate
its capability as a reliable cross-country aircraft. More...
BEECHCRAFT TO CELEBRATE AT OSHKOSHHawker
Beechcraft plans to mark the 60th anniversary of the Bonanza and the
75th anniversary of Beechcraft next month at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh,
Wis. The events begin with the Bonanzas-to-Oshkosh arrival on Saturday,
before the show starts. At least 100 Bonanzas and Barons of all models
will gather at Rockford, Ill., to fly in formation to Oshkosh, arriving
about 1 p.m. The flight includes Bonanzas from almost all 40 models,
including a 2007 special-edition 60th anniversary Bonanza G36 flown by
CEO Jim Schuster. On Sunday, July 22 at 5 p.m., Hawker Beechcraft will
host a Beech Party in the North 40 aircraft parking area,
where hundreds of Barons and Bonanzas will be parked. Food,
entertainment, special guests and Hawker Beechcrafts own house
band, The Sons of Beech, will be on hand. Throughout the
week, special Beechcraft displays will be on exhibit at various venues
on the field. More...
BALLOONISTS GATHER IN AMHERSTAbout 17 homebuilt hot-air
balloons and 50-some pilots and friends gathered in Amherst, Mass.,
recently for the third annual Experimental Lighter-than-Air (XLTA)
fly-in. The event is hosted by Dan Nachbar, who has been developing an
unusual "personal blimp" that he calls Alberto, which has
attracted considerable attention. The craft is designed for pure
pleasure flying, and Nachbar has petitioned the FAA to review its
requirement that he must have an airship pilot's certificate to carry
passengers. "We argued (very reasonably in my own humble opinion) that
the FAA's airship rating is focused on managing a pressurized, helium
aircraft and that it is kind of silly to require it for Alberto because
it is neither pressurized nor uses helium," says Nachbar.
TURNS CESSNAS INTO AERIAL PHOTO PLATFORMSTraditionally,
creating aerial photographs for mapping has been a pretty complex
exercise, involving loads of expensive equipment, big stable aircraft
and a highly trained crew. But now the John Deere company has developed
a simple digital system that can be strapped on to any small
single-engine airplane and flown by any commercial pilot. The system is
intended to provide farmers with detailed, real-time information about
the condition of their crops. Eight digital cameras are packaged into a
small pod that is strapped on to a fixed-landing-gear strut. Two cables
run into the cockpit, where a computer provides the pilot with a flight
plan. "The pilot concentrates on altitude and flight aircraft position
relative to the ground to get as consistent an image as possible," John
Deere spokesman Jeff Keiser told the Farm & Ranch Guide. "The computer manages the
camera system, the aperture and the exposure." The pilot flies a grid
about 8,000 feet above the field and, after landing, downloads the
information to the John Deere Web site. More...

Here is something new I'm going to try, frequent Spotify playlists of artists I've been talking about, just discovered, or maybe I'm just digging at the moment, etc. I know some artists don't particularly like spotify because it doesn't pay but neither does radio, and essentially they both are there to serve the same ends…to get your music heard, and into the ears of potential fans, and corporate radio has failed us all long ago in that aspect. So in that spirit, enjoy the following 20 songs, and if you hear an artist you like, I urge you to explore, check their schedule, go to their shows, buy some merch, tell your friends…as the sign says, whatever you gotta do.

California Bars – Tim Easton
Chicken Wire – Jonathan Byrd
Homegrown Tomatoes – Ray Wylie Hubbard
Hello Cruel World – Gretchen Peters
Poor House – Great American Taxi
410 – Rod Picott

Muddy Waters – If Birds Could Fly
Levi – Old Crow Medicine Show
Hobo Lullaby – Tim Barry
Slither – Mandolin Orange
West Nashville Grand Ballroom Gown – Todd Snider
Pour 'Em Kinda Strong – Corb Lund
Jack of Diamonds – Jon Dee Graham
Danville Girl – Old Sledge
1922 Blues – Charlie Parr

Capsule look at Saturday's Ventura College-Pasadena City game
No. 9 Ventura (5-4) at Pasadena City (1-7)
WHEN/WHERE: Saturday, 6 p.m., Robinson Stadium, Pasadena
LAST WEEK: Ventura 28, Hancock 20, Pasadena City, bye;
SERIES HISTORY: Pasadena leads the series, 24-12-2 since 1931. Ventura won 27-14 last year.
GAME FACTS: On paper, this is a mismatch. Ventura is playing to clinch a bowl berth. Pasadena is a week removed from snapping an 11-game losing streak. But the Pirates have struggled in conference play with injuries and inconsistency. VC is No. 6 in total offense (476.0 ypg) and No. 12 in scoring (35.0 ppg). Pasadena is No. 34 in total offense (260.5 ypg) and No. 35 in scoring (13.6 ppg). Pasadena DE Dalyou Pierson leads Southern California with 10½ sacks. Ventura QB Brad Odeman is No. 2 in touchdown passes (26) and No. 3 in passing (304.7 ypg), and RB Aaron Stanton is No. 4 in touchdowns (10).
