Holy cow, I wrote a book!
We concluded last time that we wanted the custom large font to
apply only to the columns containing Chinese characters and
leave the original font in place for the English columns.
We do this by carrying two fonts around, choosing the appropriate
one for each column.
class RootWindow : public Window
HWND m_hwndLV;
HWND m_hwndEdit;
HWND m_hwndLastFocus;
HFONT m_hfChinese;
HFONT m_hfNormal;
int m_cyEdit;
: m_hfChinese(NULL)
, m_hfNormal(NULL)
if (m_hfChinese) DeleteObject(m_hfChinese);
if (m_hfNormal) DeleteObject(m_hfNormal);
LRESULT RootWindow::OnCreate()
LOGFONT lf;
if (!GetObject(GetWindowFont(m_hwndLV), sizeof(lf), &lf)) {
return -1;
m_hfNormal = CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
if (!m_hfNormal) return -1;
lf.lfHeight += lf.lfHeight / 2; // 50% bigger
m_hfChinese = CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
if (!m_hfChinese) return -1;
SetWindowFont(m_hwndLV, m_hfChinese, FALSE);
Before we change the default font for the list view to the
Chinese font, we create a copy of the original font
(which we rather presumptuously call "normal") for safekeeping.
Next, when the list view asks us to customize a column,
we select the appropriate font and return the "I also changed the
font" code.
LRESULT RootWindow::OnLVCustomDraw(NMLVCUSTOMDRAW* pcd)
case CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT | CDDS_SUBITEM:
pcd->clrText = m_clrTextNormal;
if (pcd->iSubItem == COL_SIMP &&
pcd->nmcd.dwItemSpec < (DWORD)Length()) {
const DictionaryEntry& de = Item(pcd->nmcd.dwItemSpec);
if (de.m_pszSimp) {
pcd->clrText = RGB(0x80, 0x00, 0x00);
// break;
if (pcd->iSubItem == COL_TRAD || pcd->iSubItem == COL_SIMP) {
SelectFont(pcd->nmcd.hdc, m_hfChinese);
} else {
SelectFont(pcd->nmcd.hdc, m_hfNormal);
return CDRF_NEWFONT;
There are several important details here.
First, we set the Chinese font as the
"overall" font for the list view.
It would have been easier for us not to do this;
after all, since we explicitly set the font for each column,
why does it matter what the default font is?
It also would have removed the need to create a copy of the original
But if you delete the SetWindowFont(m_hwndLV, m_hfChinese);
the bottoms of the Chinese characters get cut off.
The reason is that the list view uses the default font to decide
what the line spacing should be.
Therefore, the default font for the list view needs to be the
largest font we intend to use for any column.
SetWindowFont(m_hwndLV, m_hfChinese);
Why does the list view use the default font to decide on the line
Because it's not clairevoyant.
That's the only font it has, after all.
It doesn't know what font you're going to select in your
CDDS_ITEMPREPAINT | CDDS_SUBITEM notification handler.
All it has is the font you set with SetWindowFont.
Another important detail is that once we have decided to use
different fonts for different columns, we are committed to selecting
a font for all columns.
The reason for this was discussed when we discussed
how to colorize the columns.
Finally, there is the important detail of returning the
CDRF_NEWFONT value when we change the font.
For performance reasons, the list view assumes you aren't
changing the font on a subitem-by-subitem basis
(since very few list views do) and it caches many font
properties to avoid having to recalculate them all the time.
CDRF_NEWFONT indicates that the list view should
look at the font you selected and base its computations on that font
Since boldface, italics and underline are font attributes,
you can use this "select a custom font" technique to make
selected items display as boldface, italics, or underline,
in addition to using it to change the font size as we did here.
That's all for this month.
Next month will be a rather boring one,
adding a status bar to make the Chinese characters even more
After that, we'll enhance the dictionary lookup algorithm,
which is itself groundwork for dynamic translation, as I may
have alluded to in a previous entry.
[Raymond is currently away; this message was pre-recorded.]
Let's pay a quick visit to our continuing dictionary project.
One of the things you may have noticed is that the Chinese
characters are unreadably small.
Let's fix that by making them larger.
class RootWindow : public Window
virtual LPCTSTR ClassName() { return TEXT("Scratch"); }
static RootWindow *Create();
HWND m_hwndLV;
HWND m_hwndEdit;
HWND m_hwndLastFocus;
HFONT m_hfChinese;
int m_cyEdit;
: m_hfChinese(NULL)
if (m_hfChinese) DeleteObject(m_hfChinese);
LRESULT RootWindow::OnCreate()
LOGFONT lf;
if (!GetObject(GetWindowFont(m_hwndLV), sizeof(lf), &lf)) {
return -1;
lf.lfHeight += lf.lfHeight / 2; // 50% bigger
m_hfChinese = CreateFontIndirect(&lf);
if (!m_hfChinese) return -1;
SetWindowFont(m_hwndLV, m_hfChinese, FALSE);
LVCOLUMN lvc;
This magnifies the font in the list view by 50%
by taking the current font, increasing the height,
and creating a new font, which we select into the list view.
This works in that the font is indeed bigger,
but it's bigger even for the English part,
and that larger-than-normal English font looks kind of
out of place.
The English was perfectly fine at its original size, after all.
It was only the Chinese we wanted to enlarge.
(This will become more important later on when we turn the
program into a dynamic translator.)
We'll look at this problem next time.
You can find the following typographical errors in the Big Room
at the PDC:
If you can locate all three of them and catch me at the PDC
(say at the Fundamentals Lounge or at the Ask the Experts table),
I'll award you a prize of um (rummaging through my bag)
how about a retractable network cable?
(Or an autographed business card?
But then again, anybody can get one of those just by asking for one.)
When I heard
this story from Swedish Radio, it struck me as the sort of
object that would exist in the imaginary world of Harry Potter.
Raymond's bad translation follows:
Pen can help dyslexics
With today's cheaper and cheaper microelectronics,
it becomes possible for young inventors to produce
new products without a lot of resources.
A new idea for a smart-pen for speech synthesis
and voice recognition is an example of this.
The pen intended primarily for dyslexics has been
produced by Johan Strömbom, a student at
Chalmers University of Technology.
It is a pen which produces speech from writing,
and which converts your speech into text,
explains Johan Strömbom.
"One can read in text from a piece of paper,
which is then heard in a headset,
also one can speak text into the headset
and have it written out,"
says Johan Strömbom.
He was inspired to invent the pen by his mother
who teaches dyslexics.
The pen has been nominated for an inventor's
prize at the
Technical Fair in October.

Of course, the Harry Potter version would be a quill
instead of a pen, and it wouldn't need a headset.
Or batteries.
Voice recognition also has a lot of promise for
people other than dyslexics.
Imagine if you could take a voice recording
and send it through a recognizer to produce a transcript.
I can read Swedish and German much better than I can
listen to it, and having a transcript of a news report
as it happens would improve my understanding tremendously.
Most people who care about such things know that you can press
Ctrl+Alt+Del twice from the Welcome screen and sometimes you
will get a classic logon dialog.
(Note: "Sometimes".
It works only if the last operation was a restart or log-off,
for complicated reasons that are irrelevant to this discussion.)
The ability to do the double-Ctrl+Alt+Del was added as a fallback
just in case there turned out to be
some important logon scenario that the
new Welcome screen failed to cover,
but which the designers had failed to take into account
by simple oversight.
Scenarios such as smartcard or fingerprint logon.
In other words, it's a kludge.
In the time since Windows XP came out, the logon folks
have kept an eye out to see if there indeed were any scenarios that
weren't covered by the Welcome screen.
I think the only one that came up was Kerberos authentication.
Now that (once they fix the Kerberos problem) they have
covered all the bases,
the designers are probably going to feel more confident
about the new logon design, and the double-Ctrl+Alt+Del
panic button will likely be removed.
So don't get too attached to it.
This is why the Welcome screen shows that Administrator account
if there are no other members of the Administrators group on the system:
If it didn't show the Administrator account,
you would be locked out of your own computer.
"No I'm not. I can use the double-Ctrl+Alt+Del trick to log on
as the Administrator."
Well, okay, that works today, but you're relying on a
panic button that might not be there tomorrow.
Sorry to all you PDCers who stopped by the Fundamentals Lounge
to see me.
The scheduling software that the PDC organizers cooked up
is, um, "suboptimal" and listed me for
Tuesday 11.30a–2.30p instead of 2.30p–5.30p.
During the early afternoon shift, I was actually in the
Hands-On Lab.
But I'll be in the Lounge on Thursday after my talk all afternoon,
I will try to be in the Lounge on Wednesday, but I may have to take
refuge in the Speaker Prep Room to deal with
a major last-minute change to my talk.
Whoa a huge stream of people just flooded in.
I'll catch up with you folks later.

Sometimes, I am asked why there is no single version of
Windows that contains everything.
Instead, as you move up the ladder, say, from
Windows XP Professional
to Windows Server 2003,
you gain server features and lose workstation features.
Why lose features when you add others?
Because it turns out no actual customer wants to keep the workstation
features on their servers.
Only developers want to have this "all-encompassing" version of Windows,
and making it available to them would result in developers
testing their programs on a version of Windows
no actual customer owns.
I think one of my colleagues who works in security support explained
it best:
When customers ask why their server has
Internet Explorer, NetMeeting, Media Player, Games, Instant Messenger,
etc., installed by default,
it's hard for the support folks to come up with a good answer.
Many customers view each additional installed component
as additional risk,
and want their servers to have the least possible amount of stuff installed.
If you're the CIO of a bank, the thought that your servers
are capable of playing Quake must give you the heebie-jeebies.
While waiting for
the Ninth and Tenth Doctors to reach the States,
I was tipped off to
some animated Dr. Who episodes
on the BBC web site.
These are really well done and managed to slake my Doctor cravings
for a little while longer.
In particular,
Richard E. Grant's
second turn as the somewhat Earth-obsessed Time Lord in
Scream of the Shalka
is a must-see.
The tired frustration of his Doctor
is a refreshing change from the more amiable personas he's had
in recent incarnations.
After saving the Earth (nay, the universe)
from certain destruction for over forty years,
you kind of can't blame him for being fed up with the whole thing.
(Second turn as The Doctor?
Richard E. Grant played The Tenth Doctor in
Doctor Who and the Curse of the Fatal Death,
a spoof produced for
the charity organization
Comic Relief.
I think Rowan Atkinson makes an excellent Doctor, if I may say so myself.)
One of the important distinctions between mutexes and the other
synchronization objects is that mutexes have owners.
If the thread that owns a mutex exits without releasing the mutex,
the mutex is automatically released on the thread's behalf.
But if this happens, you're in big trouble.
One thing many people gloss over is the
WAIT_ABANDONED return value
from the synchronization functions such as
They typically treat this as a successful wait,
because it does mean that the object was obtained,
but it also tells you that the previous owner left the
mutex abandoned and that the system had to release it on
the owner's behalf.
Why are you in big trouble when this happens?
Presumably, you created that mutex to protect multiple threads
from accessing a shared object while it is an unstable state.
Code enters the mutex, then starts manipulating the object,
temporarily making it unstable, but eventually restabilizing
it and then releasing the mutex so that the next person can access
the object.
For example, you might have code that manages an
anchored doubly-linked list
in shared memory that goes like this:
void MyClass::ReverseList()
WaitForSingleObject(hMutex, INFINITE);
int i = 0; // anchor
do {
int next = m_items[i].m_next;
m_items[i].m_next = m_items[i].m_prev;
m_items[i].m_prev = next;
i = next;
} while (i != 0);
There is nothing particularly exciting going on.
Basic stuff, right?
But what if the program crashes while holding the mutex?
(If you believe that your programs are bug-free,
consider the possiblity that the program is running
over the network and the network goes down, leading
to an in-page exception.
Or simply that the user went to Task Manager
and terminated your program while this function is running.)
In that case, the mutex is automatically released
by the operating system,
leaving the linked list in a corrupted state.
The next program to claim
the mutex will receive WAIT_ABANDONED as the
status code.
If you ignore that status code,
you end up operating on a corrupted linked list.
Depending on how that linked list is used, it may
result in a resource leak or the system creating an
unintended second copy of something, or perhaps even a crash.
The unfortunate demise of one program causes other programs
to start behaving strangely.
Then again, the question remains,
"What do you do, then, if you get WAIT_ABANDONED?"
The answer is, "Good question."
You might try to repair the corruption, if you keep enough
auxiliary information around to recover a consistent state.
You might even design your data structures to be transactional,
so that the death of a thread manipulating the data structures
does not leave them in a corrupted state.
Or you might just decide that since things are corrupted,
you should throw away everything and start over,
losing the state of work in progress, but at least allowing
new work to proceed unhindered.
Or you might simply choose to ignore the error and continue
onwards with a corrupt data structure, hoping that whatever
went wrong won't result in cascade failures down the line.
This is what most people do, though usually without even being
aware that they're doing it.
And it's really hard to debug the crashes that result from this
Why did we use indices instead of pointers in our
linked list data structure?

Chapter 1- the road to the Victorian Cottage.
A Victorian Cottage, a bottle of wine, a roaring fire all the elements for Romance,
Yet how could Lisa feel anything but contempt for her husband,
After seening him locked in a passionate embrace,
With a woman young enough to be his daughter,
It was a winding road that lead to the tiny victorian cottage nooked into a hill,
Lisa watched Stefano with gilded eyes, scanning the handsome face,
The Bold "Dimera" nose, finally resting on the insert dimple locked into
His rugged right cheek,
"Maryland is Georgeous This Time Of Year, Eh Lisa?", He queried glazing his lips
with a charming smile as he addressed her, "Almost Perfect, wouldn't you say",
Lisa reverted her attention to the lovely drive, trying to focus on anything other
then her unrequited lover, How could he just sit there so cool?, so collected?,
Five years She'd given him, He was the father of their five children (all boys, ages 4 to 17), It deeply grieved her to know that he had casually tossed those wonderful years away for that-that rag-muffin of a girl, Rather, Chloe Darling, as She overheard Stefano Refered to her,
Three Months Ago, She would have trusted him with her life, Of Course, all that had been washed away, The First encounter occurred when She had paid a visit to Stefano's Office (Dimera Empire Incorporated), Hoping they could enjoy a romantic lunch together, There was an Itailan 'hole-in-the-wall' that She'd went to with a friend one day, and the establishment served the best rosemary bread She'd ever tasted.
There, on the side of his desk, had rested Chloe Lane in a red, low-cut dress, supporting a silk scarf that Lisa wanted to strangle the woman with, She had been whispering to Stefano, and Lisa could never erase the disturbed reaction on his face If She'd lived to be a thousand!, But Stefano was so slick, he had nonchalanty soothed over the moment, passing Chole off as a business acquaintance, Like an idiot, Lisa had Swallowed his ludicrous story, Hook, Line, and Sinker.
One Month Later, upon visiting that out-of-the way Italian restaurant, She caught them huddled together in the dark corner, their hands locked beside a wax-coated bottle, only the light illuminating Stefano's face as Lisa slowly made her way to her table.
Awkwardly, he had attempted to explain the cozy situation, failing miserably, Chole had discretley vanished. Two weeks later, Stefano had her eating out of his hand again, Lisa feeling ridiculous and childish for ever believing he could cheat on her.
But everything changed last week, Lisa made a decision to postpone her shopping trip and suprise Stefano at home, He'd been so wonderful to her, He even offered to take their four of their five sons, Tyler (age 4-years-old), Dustin (age 7-years-old), Jonathan (age 10-years-old), and Mark (age 13-years-old), out Trick-Or-Treating Last Halloween, while their 17-year-old son, Elliot was at a Halloween Party, especially by planning the romantic trip to a lovely Victorian cottage in Maryland.
Lisa hurried home that day, pausing at the market to gather some fruit, cheese, and wine, Stefano and her were going to have the most romantic weekend!.
She remembered everything. that's how it always is in the end. One takes in every sight, every sound, every moment.
Here's The First Part, The Continuing Part will be up in a moment.
Oh, HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

BLACK BAYOU: No report. Call the Honey Hole at 323-8707.
CANEY LAKE: Cold weather has kept most anglers off the lake. However, some fair catches of bass, crappie and yellow bass are still being made fishing where the shad are located, and that's down deep in water as deep as 40 feet. Jigging spoons, tail spinners and crappie jigs are producing a few fish. Call Brown's Landing at 259-6649.
CHENIERE LAKE: The Puckett Lake area continues to yield some fair catches of crappie on jigs and shiners. No report on bass. Call the Honey Hole at 323-8707.
LAKE CLAIBORNE: Not many fishermen have ventured out because of the brutally cold weather. However, the shad are in the deep channels and the best chance to catch some is to bundle up and dangle a jig or shiner where your LCR shows big bunches of shad. Mixed catches of crappie and bar fish should be caught, if you can stand the cold. Hopefully, warmer weather by the weekend will allow more fishermen on the lake. Call Tim Lofton at Kel's Cove at 927-2264.
LAKE D'ARBONNE: This is the time of year when lots of crappie are usually caught deep in the channels. However, very few anglers have been willing to head out in the cold weather we've been having. A few fishermen have tried the catfish using cold worms, but crappie anglers have been absent. Call Anderson's Sport Center at 368-9669 or the Honey Hole at 323-8707.
OUACHITA RIVER: The river lakes have produced a few catches of crappie on shiners and jigs. No report on bass. Call the Honey Hole at 323-8707.
LAKE POVERTY POINT: Very few fishermen have been out this week but best bet for catching some crappie is to fish the south end of the lake in deeper water with jigs or shiners. Call Poverty Point Marina at 878-0101.
LAKE ST. JOHN: Yoyo fishermen baiting with shiners have been catching a few catfish and crappie. Bass fishing has been slow to fair. Call Ken Mahoney at 757-0013.
LAKE YUCATAN: The water is scheduled to begin falling next week, which should improve fishing. There have been no fishermen on the lake this week because of the cold weather. Call James Lachney at 467-2259.

- An ISBN is the 10 or 13 digit number, usually printed on the back of a book with a bar code, that serves as a unique identifier for the book.
- Searching by ISBN is the best way to search because it will get you the exact title and edition that you need.
- Many professors include the ISBN on their syllabi or in their course management system.
If you don't have the ISBN, try a title or author search.
Title search
- Enter all words in the title you are looking for. The search engine will try to find books that have all the words you entered in the title. Leave out words such as "a," "an," or "the."
- When including edition, use numeric values. For example, "1st edition" instead of "first edition."
Author search
- Enter all or part of the author name you are looking for.
- You do not need to enter a first name, but if there are a lot of books by authors with the same last name, it may help to narrow the results.
- You can enter the name in any order such as "John Smith" or "Smith John." Avoid using a comma since it has a special meaning in the search.
Keyword search
- You can search by keyword but this approach is not recommended as it will likely return a large set of results.
- If you want to search by keyword, try a combination of author and keyword. For example, "Warren Accounting" where "Warren" is the author and "Accounting" is the keyword.
To refine your results, use the filtering/sorting options
- Filter options include product type and discipline area. Sort options include alphabetical sort (ascending or descending) and copyright year (ascending or descending).

text: In fantasy, myth and fairytale, mighty forces of good and evil do battle while sweet young things quietly await their fate the happily-ever-after prince. Not so. In Mercedes Lackey's wry and scintillating take on the Cinderella story, The Fairy Godmother the beginning of a new fantasy line from Harlequin romance is a vital part of the making of a godmother worthy of her rank. Elena Klovis, the once-put-upon heroine, accepts an offer to become an apprentice to Madame Bella, the local fairy godmother. She enters a new realm of fairy folk, elves and brownies and drinks dragon's blood to understand animals' speech, taking in her own hands the power to fight evil and help others. Elena's determination to control her fate faces yet another test when she confronts tradition to marry Alexander. Lackey's tale resonates with charm as magical as the fairy-tale realm she portrays.

'Bicycle superhighways' in Denmark encouraging less car use
- Details
- Category: Living Green
26 Jul 2012
- Published on Thursday, 26 July 2012 10:44
- Hits (2230)
Opened April this year, an 11-mile (17.7-kilometer) "bicycle superhighway" in Denmark hopes to further reduce the use of cars across the country, as part of a larger urban planning concept to make cities less car-dependent.
The path is the first of 26 of such "superhighways" planned to be built around the country, according to a report from Ecocentric.
Biking is already popular in Copenhagen, the Danish capital, and the city has been redesigning its streets for years to make it the norm there. The city also gave birth to a new urban planning concept due to its redesigns – called "Copenhagenization."
Data from the Cycling Embassy of Denmark shows 36 percent of Danish adults rode a bike to work and 45 percent of all Danish children biked to school in 2010.
The bicycle highways were made to entice residents in the more distance suburbs, who still drive to work out of convenience. Once completed, the number of cyclists would grow by 30 percent – adding 15,000 more cyclists to the superhighway network, saving 7,000 tons of carbon dioxide and 300 million Danish kroner ($48.89 million) in health costs per year, according to Cycling Embassy of Denmark's Web site.
This, however, is not the first bike-friendly initiative in the country. Bike paths across Denmark feature bike pumps every 1.7 kilometers, and "bike buses" – which bring cyclists together in their commute, with each biker taking a turn at blocking the wind for the other commuters – are gaining attention in the suburb of Furesø. – EcoSeed Staff

On sale in February
BMW engineers pulled out all the stops to make the new 3-series lighter and more fuel-efficient without sacrificing performance or safety.
Despite being wider and longer than the current model, the 2013 3 series is about 88 pounds lighter than a comparably equipped 2012 model. Rear passenger room improves, thanks to a 2.0-inch longer wheelbase.
The 328i's power comes from a 240-horsepower turbocharged direct-injection 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine. BMW's 300-horsepower 3.0-liter straight-six powers the 335i. A six-speed manual or eight-speed automatic transmission is available with either engine.
BMW's polarizing iDrive control is standard equipment after being an option on the previous 3 series. A color head-up display, navigation system, and blind-spot and lane-departure alerts will be available.
Prices start at $34,900 for the 328i sedan and $42,400 for the 335i, excluding destination charges. The old model of the 3-series coupe and convertible carry on through 2012.

Movie Poster of the Week: The Posters of the 50th New York Film Festival
Tonight the 50th incarnation of the New York Film Festival gets underway at Lincoln Center, and for the third year running I have tried to find posters for all the films in the festival's main slate (see 2010 and 2011). Poster art not being what it used to be, these inevitably pale in comparison to the posters I collected last week for the very first NYFF of 1963. For starters, most of those were illustrated, whereas only two of this year's batch are hand drawn: the folk-art Filipino design for Bwakaw and Spanish artist Riki Blanco's illustration for The Dead Man and Being Happy. But there are some other standouts, like the striking UK quads for Holy Motors and Ginger and Rosa, the near-abstract monochrome and gothic lettering of Leviathan, the unconventional titling for Barbara (coupled with that can't-lose photo of Nina Hoss on a bike, one of two posters featuring women on bicycles), and the shocking pink lips of Notebook favorite Passion (which I somehow missed as a wonderful scrim banner in Cannes).
I couldn't find anything for three brand new American films: First Cousin Once Removed (Alan Berliner), Frances Ha (Noah Baumbach) and Not Fade Away (David Chase), but the rest of the 33 films in the main slate are below, leading off with the Opening Night film, Life of Pi, (another of the strongest designs and one of two posters featuring tigers) and followed by the others in alphabetical order by English-language title.
Above: Life of Pi (Ang Lee, USA).
Above: Amour (Michael Haneke, Austria/France/Germany) and Araf—Somewhere In Between (Yeşim Ustaoğlu, Turkey/France/Germany).

Love that poster for "No"
No and Holy Motors!
As much as I like DePalma, I'm still a little wary about Passion. I liked Love Crime so much. Anyone seen it yet?
I hope these movies are better than their run-of-the-mill, visually irrelevant posters.

The political team of House Speaker John Boehner asked that the Timken Company headquarters be placed in the� new 16th congressional district of Congressman Jim Renacci, R-Wadsworth, creating a peculiar uninhabited "peninsula" that went into Canton, miles from the original 16th congressional district line, according to a public advocacy group.
A top political aide to U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, R-West Chester, requested that the Timken Co. headquarters be added to congressman Jim Renacci's new 16th congressional district the night before the new congressional redistricting map was unveiled in September, according to documents released Monday by a public advocacy group.
The Ohio Campaign for Accountable Redistricting said it obtained emails under the state's public records law from the secretaries of the Ohio Apportionment Board, Heather Mann and Ray DiRossi.
The group says the records show that Mann and DiRossi worked closely on drafting new congressional districts for the 2012 elections with Tom Whatman, the executive director of Boehner's political group, Team Boehner, and Adam Kincaid, the redistricting director for the National Republican Congressional Committee. The Ohio General Assembly, now controlled by Republicans, approves new congressional districts at least once every 10 years to reflect population shifts.
Jim Slagle, manager for Ohio Campaign for Accountable Redistricting, said the documents show that Republicans initially considered placing the home of U.S. Rep. Betty Sutton, D-Copley Township, in the same district as U.S. Rep. Marcia Fudge, D-Warrensville Heights. But sometime around Sept. 2, they decided to place her home in the new 16th District with Renacci, R-Wadsworth. Sutton, whose current district was eliminated, announced last week that she would run against Renacci to represent the 16th.
At 9:28 p.m. Sept. 12, Whatman sent a message to DiRossi and Kincaid, according to emails released by the Accountable Redistricting group.
"Guys: really really sorry to ask but can we do a small carve out down 77 in Canton and put Timken hq in the 16th. I should have thought about this earlier," Whatman wrote.
Kincaid replied, "Yeah, sure, no problem."
"Thanks guys," Whatman wrote. "Very important to someone important to us all. I relly should have thought of this."
Within 80 minutes, Kincaid sent a new map file to Whatman and DiRossi. It included an uninhabited portion of Canton and Canton Township resembling the shape of a peninsula that included two Timken plants and some Timken offices being attached to Renacci's new 16th Congressional District, which would also include Timken's Faircrest plant in Perry Township. Before the change, many of the Timken facilities would have been in the new 7th Congressional District of U.S. Rep. Bob Gibbs, R-Lakeville, which includes most of Stark County.
Shortly after 9 a.m. Sept. 13, State Rep. Matt Huffman, R-Lima, the chairman of the Ohio House State Government and Elections Committee, introduced the congressional redistricting bill with the hastily drawn "Timken peninsula."
Huffman, in an interview a couple of weeks later, said he didn't recall or know anything about the "peninsula," or about the Timken plants being placed in the 16th District.
Page 2 of 4 - RESPONSES
Messages were left Monday seeking comment from Whatman and Huffman.
Cory Fritz, a spokesman for Team Boehner, issued a statement that said, "The Timken Corporation is a major regional employer. It shouldn't come as a surprise that there was interest in trying to address their concerns."
Fritz said in a subsequent e-mail that Ohio House Speaker William G. Batchelder, R-Medina "was clear at the outset of this process that he was interested in Speaker Boehner's input - as well as the input of a number of other key stakeholders, Democrat and Republican. It shouldn't come as a surprise now to see our staff was involved in an advisory role."
He did not provide more details on why Whatman requested that the Timken offices be placed in the 16th District.
Timken Co. spokeswoman Lorrie Crum said she didn't know what concerns Fritz was referring to and that Timken executives are "thoroughly frustrated" that company facilities in Stark County are in two different districts.
She said no Timken executives or board members were consulted about congressional boundary decisions and the company had expected the 16th District would include all of Stark County.
"We did not know in advance that the district would be carved up as proposed," she said. "We absolutely did not have any input when they were drawing this up."
The boundary line for the 16th District goes down Dueber Avenue SW, and Crum pointed out that three of Timken's larger offices are east of Dueber in the 7th District.
The NRCC confirmed that Kincaid was providing information to Boehner's office, but contrary to a prior report, it said he was not assisting Mann and DiRossi in drafting the congressional map.
"We provide information and resources at the request of members (Republican congressmen) in the redistricting process," said NRCC spokeswoman Andrea Bozek, declining to provide more details on Kincaid's involvement.
A message was also left for DiRossi and Mann could not be immediately reached through Batchelder's office, where she works as deputy legal counsel.
In November, Fritz issued a statement saying Boehner "has no official role in the redistricting process."
Ohio House Republican spokesman Mike Dittoe reiterated that the Timken plants were included in the 16th District because it had traditionally been in that district and Renacci was a member of the Congressional Steel Caucus.
Dittoe said Monday that Whatman and Boehner were among the many people including Democrats who were consulted for their input on the map. And because there were numerous changes to the map, Huffman may not have recalled the alteration involving the Timken plants.
After referring all questions about the matter to the Ohio General Assembly in November, Renacci's spokesman Shawn Ryan said in an e-mail Monday that:
Page 3 of 4 - "Jim Renacci had no say over how the new Congressional district lines were drawn. He also made no requests. Had Rep. Renacci (wielded) any control over the process the new 16th District would have included all of Stark County, and he would not have been drawn into a district with another sitting Member of Congress."
Last month, the Repository reported that Timken executives, Timken family members and the Timken Co. Good Government Fund had given Renacci's congressional campaigns at least $124,400 since 2009.
While Slagle doesn't have proof, he's convinced that the contributions were the reason for the last-minute change despite Dittoe's statement that "campaign contributions do not dictate where congressional lines are drawn."
"How can it be any other explanation?" asked Slagle. "I think that's outrageous that you're manipulating districts to enhance political contributions. I also think it's outrageous just by making a request from Speaker Boehner, changes made. No questions asked. ... I don't know if even the sponsor of the bill (Huffman) knows the change was made."
Slagle's group also said the records it obtained show that Republicans used a downtown Columbus hotel room as a "secret redistricting office," which they referred to as "the Bunker" or "off site" at a cost of more than $9,600 to taxpayers.
Dittoe, who pointed out that Slagle is a Democrat, said all the legislative offices were occupied and Mann and DiRossi needed working space that was open after hours.
The group also said that Republican members of the Legislative Task Force on Redistricting paid a total of $210,000 in public money to Mann and DiRossi under consulting agreements with Mann's legal entity Policy Widgets, LLC and DiRossi's company Capital Advantage, LLC.
Dittoe said Mann, to work on redistricting, had to take a leave from her job as deputy legal counsel position for the Ohio House Republicans and work as a consultant to avoid any ethics issues.
According to a congressional redistricting timeline from the Apportionment Board obtained by Slagle's organization, the plan was for Mann and DiRossi to complete the new congressional map by Aug. 19. And then rather than release it to the public, they would "hold it 'in the can'" until the legislature reconvened on Sept. 13 or 14. Dittoe said he did not know the reason for the term "hold it 'in the can.'"
In an email dated Sept. 11, Ohio Senate President Tom Niehaus, R-New Richmond told Whatman and DiRossi that, "I am still committed to ending up with a map that Speaker Boehner fully supports," even if two top Senate Republicans didn't back it.
According to an earlier version of the map obtained by the group, Stark County would still have been divided into three districts. But, unlike the final version, the 16th District apparently would not have included any of Perry Township and the "Timken peninsula."
Page 4 of 4 - One document includes a chart created by Republicans showing how many voters in the new proposed districts had supported Republican candidates since 2004. For the new 7th and 16th Districts, which include Stark County, the percentages exceeded 50 percent except one race in 2006.
The Ohio General Assembly approved the map of new congressional districts for the 2012 elections on Sept. 21. The only two legislators from Stark County who voted for it were State Rep. Christina Hagan, R-Marlboro Township, and State Sen. Scott Oelslager, R-North Canton.
The Ohio Democratic Party is collecting petition signatures, hoping to collect enough to block the map from taking effect and place it on the November 2012 ballot.

ANDERSEN AIR FORCE BASE, Guam
-- Personnel and B-52 Stratofortress bombers from Barksdale Air Force Base, La., continue to provide a bomber presence here, helping maintain stability and provide security in the Asia-Pacific region.
Fellow Barksdale AFB Airmen from the 20th Expeditionary Bomb Squadron will now replace the aircraft, aircrew, support and maintenance members of the 96th EBS who will return home.
"Our mission here is to deter potential aggressors and add reassurance to our allies in the AOR, by demonstrating global strike capabilities," said Lt. Col. Patrick Matthews, the 96th EBS commander. "While here we train to fly, fight and win in air, space and cyberspace."
"The U.S. Pacific Command is committed to promoting peace and security in the region...deploying B-52s to Guam is a big part of that effort," said Col. Damian McCarthy, the 36th Expeditionary Operations Group commander. "Both bomber squadrons are key players in the U.S. Air Force's mission, proving matchless combat power on time, anytime, anywhere."
While at Andersen AFB, the primary mission of the 20th EBS will be to gain experience flying and generating aircraft from a forward-operating base.
The rotational bomber presence at the base is aimed at enhancing regional security, demonstrating U.S. commitment to the Pacific region and providing integrated training opportunities for deployed Airmen.
"Andersen (AFB) is ideal as a main operating base for sustaining and projecting air power in support of America's defense strategy. It is strategically located, has an impressive fuel and munitions storage capability, exceptional Airmen and civilian employees and strong community support," Colonel McCarthy said.
Nine aircraft and approximately 350 Airmen will be deployed here through October. This will be the ninth rotation of B-52 bombers into the base since the current schedule began in 2004.
Movement of bombers into the Western Pacific has been ongoing since February 2003 as U.S. Pacific Air Command adjusted its force posture to maintain a prudent deterrent capability.
The outgoing 96th EBS team led the way in integrating the LITENING AT targeting pod into the theater; qualifying six crews on pod. The Airmen also used the B-52 Stratofortress bomber's range and versatility to train with the Royal Singapore air force on refueling missions and participated in air-intercept exercises with the U.S. Navy.

Lewis, Tepesch's struggles in win over A's do little to clear up Rangers' rotation picture
PHOENIX — The Rangers beat Oakland on Saturday to snap a four-game winless streak.
It did nothing to help clear up the hazy situation around the starting rotation. Rotation hopefuls Colby Lewis and Nick Tepesch combined to allow 13 runs and 14 hits in 41/3 innings of work in a 16-15 win.
"It was a rough day," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "Colby couldn't get the ball. They are high-ball hitters and when he got it up, they hit it. And Nick's just got to continue to work to keep the ball down. You just can't get it up in the zone against these guys."
Lewis exhausted his pitch count in just 11/3 innings of his scheduled three-inning outing. In three outings this spring, he has a total of four innings. He has perhaps two more starts show the Rangers he can get through five or six innings in an outing and then bounce back five days later and repeat.
"I've got another chance to prove myself," said Lewis, who is trying to come back from hip and arm surgeries that have kept him out of the big leagues since July 2012. "Today, I felt good, but things were kind of hit-and-miss. I've got to get outs. If I'm not doing that, I don't think it's fair for me to make the club over somebody who is [performing]."
While there are other rotation candidates who are pitching well, it would appear Lewis doesn't have to worry much about being outpitched by Tepesch. In his last two outings, he's allowed 17 hits and 10 runs in five innings.
The situation was made even cloudier by the Friday evening performance of Tanner Scheppers and Robbie Ross, relievers trying to transition to the rotation. Their performances combined with that of Lewis and Tepesch may keep the competition open longer.

Lenovo slips out 3000 G-series notebook
updated 09:00 am EDT, Tue July 29, 2008
Lenovo 3000 G in Malaysia
Lenovo this morning unusually let its Malaysian branch be the first to introduce the 3000 G Series notebook. Previously leaked with few details, the finished 14-inch notebook is aimed at the budget-conscious with a 1.86GHz Pentium dual-core at its root along with 2GB of RAM, a 160GB hard disk, and a DVD burner. In an unusual move, the Malaysian version comes preloaded with MS-DOS and lets users install Linux, Windows, or another choice of operating system.
The system is otherwise barebones with Intel's X3100 integrated graphics for video and 802.11g Wi-Fi for wireless. Malaysians can order the system now for the equal of $613, putting it within range of high-end netbooks. A US release is expected and will likely see multiple configurations, including a G430 model based on Intel's Centrino 2 mobile platform and faster Core 2 Duo processors. [via Engadget]

|David, I think that you are forgetting that at the time duty to one's state (over one's country) was much more accepted (and in some cases, expected) than in today's society. Your state (heck your town) may have been your entire world - so to speak. I would like to think that that type of loyalty and virtue still exist to some extent. I know that if the U.S. Government ever wanted to march troops into Virginia again (or any state for that matter) in order to force an administrations policy on them (against their will) that her neighbors would surely take up arms in order to protect their fellow neighbors.
For a man with Lee's background and experience, there was no option. He had an honor and sense of duty and to choose to take command of the Union army (as offered) or "sit it out" would have been tremendously unpopular. How could he ever go home and face his fellow Virginians? He and many CSA commanders were Union men and they did not enter the war with a light heart or lack of conscience. It had to be a terrible dilemma, but you have to applaud their convictions. They would not march or fire on their own people. Also I believe that revolution and reform are both necessary from time to time in order to keep society in line. Was it not Jefferson who said something like "the tree of liberty must be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots." (or something similar). I firmly believe that the founding fathers DID NOT want dominating, big governments pushing people around (like in England).
Therefore REAL patriots are not a "Kool-Aid drinking citizens who obey the government on blind faith alone" - it is a rebel, a radical and one who is willing to stand up and die for a cause. Our founding fathers were rebels and "seceded" from England. So there is a similarity there to the Confederate States of America. All I can say is that if the U.S. Government ever turns its troops and guns on her own people (for any reason) I pray that we have some patriots (still hanging around) who will rise up and fight against a tyrannical ruler. I pray that never happens, but it is possible with a 2-party political system that has been blemished, corrupted, broken and is ultimately dysfunctional.

Note: You can also specify which OU you want to create the group in here.
4. New.
5. Finish
6. Right click your new group > Properties.
7. Members > Add > Add in as appropriate.
Allow a Distribution Group to Accept Mail from EXTERNAL addresses.
By default new distribution group cannot accept mail from outside your organisation, to change that, select the "Mail Flow Settings" tab > Double click "Message Delivery Restrictions" > UNTICK "Require that all senders are authenticated" > OK > Apply.

Since all the forums out there suck, and I've been using ALN stuff for a while now, I figured I would throw a training log up here.
We have a small private gym/Barbell Club in Huntsville, AL called Deep South Barbell. We currently train out of the shop behind my house, but will likely be moving the gym in the next few months to a facility. We have about 7 regulars now, and it gets pretty tight in 300 square feet plus all the equipment we have put together. Plus, we want to continue getting more equipment and we are out of roon right now. We have pretty much everything we need (Rack, Bench, Monolift, RH, GHR, etc) but we have a list of other things we want to get but just dont have room for. So, time to expand. We have 3 guys with Elite Totals, a 220, 242, and me at 275.
The past year has been rough for me with training. I totaled Elite (SPF) at 275 for the second time back in Feb of 2011, but have had some serious lower back issues since then. I took 6 months, dropped 30lbs, and rehabbed my back. I am now back up to around 260 in bodyweight and am training heavy again and plan to compete in July and hopefully total Elite again, and if everything goes well, hit some PRs. My best lifts are 760 Squat, 560 Bench, 640 Deadlift and a 1950 Total.
Anyway, this is where I will try to keep a log updated. We usually update the website with training, but I have been pretty bad about keeping my own log written...so we will see how this goes.

Pens' Laraque sits with back spasms
Penguins/NHL Videos
Georges Laraque did not play in Tuesday's game against the Buffalo Sabres because of back spasms that started after Saturday's game against the New York Rangers.
"I've never had them before, so hopefully it's just a couple of days," Laraque said. "It's frustrating because I obviously just got here, and (Tuesday) is such a big game, with the announcement that the team's staying here. The crowd's going to be pumped. But with my back, I can't do anything."
Coach Michel Therrien was back in town but still not with the team yesterday morning following the death of his father in Montreal this past Thursday. He did coach the game last night, however, as of yesterday morning, assistant Andre Savard said they still had not decided on whether Marc-Andre Fleury or Jocelyn Thibault would get the start tonight against the New Jersey Devils.
Devils goaltender Martin Brodeur has the second-lowest goals-against average in the NHL at 2.14 and the most wins at 41. He has played in 66 games this season, and this is his NHL-record sixth 40-win season in his 13-year career.
"His consistency is what impresses me the most," Thibault said of Brodeur. "Everybody can play a good game once in a while, but he does it game in and game out. Obviously, you can't play 72 great games, but he's not far from that. He's very consistent and he's durable."
Right wing Ronald Petrovicky got back in the lineup with Laraque out. The Penguins scratched forwards Chris Thorburn and Nils Ekman and defenseman Joel Kwiatkowski.
157 - Number of goals the Devils have allowed this season, the fewest in the East.
213 - Number of goals the Penguins have allowed this season, seventh-fewest in the East.

UK online retailer set for first profitComment on this story
London - British online grocer Ocado posted an 18 percent rise in first-quarter retail sales, putting the firm on track to make its first annual pretax profit this year.
Britain's traditional supermarkets are seeing little, if any, growth in sales at their big stores but the online grocery market is growing strongly, and Ocado's share price has risen more than four-fold over the last 12 months.
The company has not made an annual pretax profit since it was founded in 2000 but before its trading update on Wednesday analysts were forecasting one of about 18 million pounds ($29.9 million) for its 2013-14 year.
"We don't think it needs to change," Chief Financial Officer Duncan Tatton-Brown said of the forecast.
The UK online grocery market is currently worth 6.5 billion pounds a year, according to IGD data.
It forecasts the market will grow by 124 percent over the next five years to 14.6 billion pounds.
"While we are encouraged by our current trading, the retail environment remains both challenging and competitive, and we expect to continue growing in line with, or slightly ahead of, the market," said Ocado chief executive Tim Steiner.
Ocado, whose range includes products supplied by upmarket grocer Waitrose, said its gross retail sales increased 18 percent to 218.8 million pounds in the 12 weeks to February 23.
That compares with an increase of 21.3 percent in the six weeks to January 5.
"There is a bit of a slowdown but it's very modest and it's such a short period of time, it's not something that we would worry about," Tatton-Brown told Reuters.
Average orders per week rose 18.4 percent to 155,152.
However, average order size dipped 0.4 percent to 117.53 pounds, reflecting increased demand for Ocado's "Smart Pass" pre-pay delivery scheme which increases the frequency of deliveries but reduces the average basket size.
The rise of Ocado's shares over the past year has been mainly on the back of a 200 million pounds deal with Morrisons, Britain's No. 4 supermarket, to provide its online grocery operation, and on hopes it could do similar deals overseas.
Ocado said the Morrisons.com ramp up was "progressing well", having launched on January 10.
Morrisons will report full-year results on Thursday.
The firm's stock was down 3 percent at 554.5 pence at 12:16 SA time, against a 0.7 percent fall in Britain's mid-cap index, valuing the business at 3.24 billion pounds.
Tatton-Brown said securing another third party deal was not a priority.
"We're not today spending lots of time trying to negotiate a deal with an international player. We are, and have, and continue to have discussions with them but we're not at the negotiation stage," he said.
He added that Ocado was looking at potential sites to increase its capacity and expected to make an announcement this year. - Reuters

Review: The Audreys
- From: Mercury
- March 10, 2014
The Audreys, Spiegeltent, Princes Wharf No 1
This blues/roots band may well be on their way to another ARIA award judging by the songs on their latest album. The capacity Spiegeltent audience experienced a solid preview of this studio album entitled 'til my tears roll away.
Taasha Coates has a true voice, remarkably unchanged in power and provocation, original lyrics delivered in brash, assured style. Tristan Goodall worked his magic on guitars, and convincingly showed how Taasha's ukulele could be played. Taasha contributed on melodica (or keyboard flute) in the classic songs banjo and violin and Small Things.
Other early favourites included Susanne and You and Steve McQueen. New songs to watch out for are Come on back to bed, Why must I wait? and My Darlin' Girl. The song that will appear as Baby, are you there? originally had a working title that reflected its creation during their last Hobart concert at the Republic Bar.

LG Display shows world's first QHD IPS 2560 x 1440 5.5-inch LCD
updated 11:47 pm EDT, Tue August 20, 2013
New display to see market some time in 2014 on tablets, phones
LG Display announced today that it has developed the world's first Quad HD AH-IPS LCD panel for smartphones. At 2560x1440 with 538ppi, the new 5.5-inch Quad HD panel is the highest resolution and PPI (pixel per inch) mobile panel to date, and provides a glimpse at what's next after current Full HD smartphone panels such as those used in the iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy S4.
LG Display's Quad HD panel for smartphones realizes clearer images with four times more pixels than HD at 1280 x 720. The higher resolution allows for more accurate color representation as well as improved contrast and vividness when compared to current mobile displays.
Only 1.21mm thin with a 1.2mm bezel, LG Display's new Quad HD panel is the company's slimmest and narrowest panel, with 12 percent reduced thickness compared to the 5.2-inch Full HD panel released last month by LG Display. Based on Low Temperature Poly-Silicon (LTPS) substrate, the panel also realizes superior brightness of 430nit with improved transmittance and larger aperture opening size.
No individual pricing or wide release date has been announced.

George Riley superleague.co.uk Blog
St Helens showed this week why I really fancy them this year, and it is unfortunate now that either Saints or Grand Final foes Leeds will end the other team's season. Unfortunate may be the wrong word. Leeds lost and must thus meet Nathan Brown's in-form team. Indeed Leeds were well beaten by Warrington who will now be fiercely confident of returning to the Grand Final. I got a bit of stick for "writing off Wigan" ahead of their win at Huddersfield, with some even claiming that such comments from the media may have provided extra motivation for Shaun Wane's side. While that is quite flattering it is absolute nonsense and Wigan again showed what a champion side they are. Will they win the Grand Final this year? I still think not, but it is a game of opinions and we can't all be right. Huddersfield now have the pressure of the "I told you so" mob if they again fail to translate their outstanding regular season run into playoff success. I have faith in the Giants and expect to see a response against Hull in what could be a very tasty game indeed.
Warrington coach Tony Smith makes no effort to hide his dislike of the dubious honour afforded to his club by Club Call. This is the fifth season that the highest ranked team from week one has been allowed to choose their next opponents, and Tony feels it adds nothing to the competition. I don't like it either if I'm honest, but I don't agree with Tony that it doesn't matter who you play. I spoke at length to Gary Hetherington about this last week and he does see it as an advantage. In simple terms you pick who you think you have the best chance of beating – and although it can often be a double-edged sword in motivating your chosen opponents, the fact that you have the opportunity to make that selection is hardly a disadvantage to you.
It's almost time to talk Man of Steel again and for me there are three outstanding candidates. Leeds prop Jamie Peacock encapsulates everything the award is about and has again been magnificent. He quite rightly took home both Player of the Year awards for the Rhinos this year. The man I can see preventing JP winning the award is Danny Brough who has been sensational. Take away all the off-field arguments about why he is or isn't playing international rugby league and for whom, and Brough has been the best scrum-half in the competition this year by some distance. My third choice would be Shaun Lunt. I'm so pleased for Lunty that he's blossomed as a player since returning to the Giants from Leeds where he wanted to stay. He has given Steve McNamara a lot to think about ahead of the World Cup.
Speaking of which the BBC's coverage of the competition is starting to come together. We are going to have some fabulous access and coverage on radio 5 live and Sports Extra and I'll have more details on that in due course.

Regardless of who wins in November, the next representative in the 4th Congressional District is likely to vote in favor of gay civil unions if the issue makes it to the House of Representatives.
Both of the major party contenders support equal treatment for gays, as does at least one third-party candidate. But the men stop short of consensus on abortion.
Gay marriage: State Rep. Scott Perry, R-Dillsburg, said he's not a proponent of "gay marriage," "because it redefines marriage as people know it."
But, straying from his typically conservative platform, he said he could be willing to explore some other method through which homosexual couples could be joined, and he wouldn't exclude them from the same rights as heterosexual people, such as filing joint tax returns, he said.
"If you want to call it something other than marriage, fine," he said. "Depending on the specific details, it would be reasonable to have government recognition. A
level playing field is fine. Generally speaking, the choice of who you love shouldn't determine what your benefits are."
Democrat Harry Perkinson said if two consenting adults want to recognize their relationship, "that's a marriage," but there could be religious orders opposed to calling it marriage.
While he doesn't see a distinction, he said he would be willing to consider civil unions as a means to find middle ground as long as gays have the same rights and privileges as heterosexual couples.
Libertarian Mike Koffenberger said he believes in and is a partner in a traditional marriage, but he has gay friends and family and doesn't want to "see the government squash their happiness."
He said he doesn't want government involvement in marriage "at all," and that gays should enjoy the same government recognition as heterosexual people.
Abortion: Perry is the only anti-abortion candidate, saying he believes abortion should be illegal except for cases of rape, incest and when the life of the mother is in jeopardy.
A father of two, Perry said he wishes abortion would never happen, but there are some circumstances beyond the control of the mother.
"The life of the child is innocent in those circumstances (of rape, incest, and when a mother's life is jeopardy); however, I don't have to carry a child from rape or incest and bear the burden of that for life."
On abortion, Perkinson said he's "not necessarily in favor," but "The woman decides. It's her choice to decide what's right for her with the help of her medical advisers."
He said it would be advantageous to reduce the number of abortions through education and birth control "instead of outlawing it."
Koffenberger said the government should have no stance on abortion.
"There will never be an agreement to satisfy either side except to keep government out of it," he said, adding that outlawing it would be a violation of women's rights, and women should be able to make the choice that's best for them.

Americans may not have to wait long for a shot at the Xperia Z1, as frequent tipster @evleaks has posted what's reportedly a press image of the smartphone's T-Mobile USA variant. There's little new to see beyond the carrier logo, although we doubt that many will object if Sony ships a largely unchanged version of its camera-focused wunderkind. Assuming the photo is accurate, we're mostly left wondering when the Z1 might reach T-Mobile, and how much it'll cost; it's safe to assume that the phone won't be cheap.

December 1, 2015
SAVANNAH, Ga. (AP) -- A Georgia-based soldier is suing a business that loaned him $4,100 at high interest, saying the terms violated a 2007 federal law that protects military service members from predatory lenders.
Army Staff Sgt. Jason Cox of Fort Benning says the car-title
loan he took out last year cost him more than $4,000 in interest
He defaulted and the lender repossessed his Dodge Durango.
The soldier is represented by former Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes,
who says Cox was charged far above the maximum annual interest rate allowed.
Barnes is seeking class-action status because the lender,
Community Loans of America, has more than 900 stores in 22 states.
It's not clear how many military members have been affected.
The company's chief executive, Robert Reich, did not return
phone calls.

Appliances feel the strain in our technologically advancing world
There is an odd pattern to technological evolution.
New processes start off manually, then become mechanical, then electrical, then electronic until, finally, they ephemeralise and lose their separate identity altogether. For example, in 1915 the big problem was how to fire a machine gun through the propeller of an aircraft without chopping off the blades. The problem was solved mechanically but evolution did not stop there. By the 1950s, fighter aircraft no longer had propellers. Soon they will no longer even have pilots.
Thus too with innovations in construction: to start with they require manual labour; then their production is mechanised; then prefabricated in a factory; and, finally, they become mass produced elements in a cladding system.So much for the hardware, but what happens to the radical insights themselves? When they are not subsumed into a Jin Mao Tower or a Millennium Village their fate is even stranger, as the story of a recent example shows.
Just over a year ago a consultancy firm called ECD Energy & Environment, a branch of ECD Architects, came up with some thermal calculations for housing that stood the conventional wisdom of sustainability on its head.
For a start, its investigations led to the conclusion that passive cooling systems aimed at cutting CO 2emissions in new housing were all but useless because whatever impact they might have would be swamped by the unincluded heat output of domestic lighting and household appliances, all of which remain under consumer, rather than designer, control. To show the scale of this imbalance a director of ECD was quoted as saying that a breakdown of the heat output of a typical threebedroom terraced house with a top National Home Energy Rating would be lights and appliances 40 per cent; space heating 17 per cent. 'If you are looking for cost-effective energy savings then appliances are the area to aim at, 'he concluded.
At first this seemed to be little more than an interesting breakthrough on the realism front but, because of the aforementioned oddness of technological evolution, things did not stop there. After a year of not entirely inexplicable silence while the wind tower, ground water and chilled beam crowd chewed their pencils nervously, the idea of going to the appliance manufacturers for fast results rather than to the architects for token design features surfaced again last month, this time to be tried out on the world stage of the Johannesburg sustainability summit. There the final solution to the 'appliances first' question was due to be presented in a widely circulated report issued by the Food and Drink Federation, which represents Britain's £66 billion food and drinks industry.
The report argues that because of the low thermal efficiency of domestic cooking appliances compared with industrial catering equipment, any increase in the domestic processing and cooking of food will serve only to bring about an increase in overall energy consumption, and thus contribute to global warming.This analysis, the flip side, as it were, of the original ECD attempt to redirect energy research back from the building envelope to the design of the appliances inside it, has already made friends in high places, including the UN Environment Agency, which at the time of writing intends to publish it on two of its websites. Unhappily, it has also made powerful enemies, too. Not least Friends of the Earth, which has accused its writers of saying that consumers can only save the planet 'by living in large groups and eating takeaways while ignoring the fact that food packaging is a huge part of the waste problem'.
Clearly a bit of spin is needed before the idea of super-efficient appliances makes its next outing.
