Mozilla is edging towards Firefox for Ouya
Android console seen showing unusable version
SOFTWARE SHOP Mozilla is working on a version of its Firefox web browser for the upcoming Android based Ouya games console.
News of the work was reported on the Ouyaforum website and confirmed by a Mozilla developer on Twitter.
Chris Lord, a Mozilla staffer, posted a screenshot of Firefox running on the console, but admitted that it is not enjoying a smooth ride so far. His comment was "kinda unusable atm."
Lord is not named as the developer who gave the skinny to the Ouyaforum poster and the information is light. We know that Mozilla is working to make something that is unusable into something workable.
"We're investigating what we need to do to make Firefox usable on Ouya. It already works and we have some preliminary patches for gamepad support, but there's still quite a bit of work to be done to make it really usable," is their quote.
"Part of this work will be making sure that WebGL and Canvas support performs well on the device, and making sure that the relevant APIs (such as Gamepad API) are also supported."
The Ouya console is in the hands of developers now, and is expected to be released this Spring. It is likely to cost under £100 and will ship with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. µ

Voucher Guarantee
Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
GrabOne's Voucher Guarantee means missing out on claiming your deal in time no longer means losing out altogether!
How does it work?
- A voucher is valid up to and including the expiry date stated.
- If you don't use your voucher before that date for whatever reason, it can still be used towards that service with that business for an additional 30 days.
For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still use the amount you paid for the voucher towards a bungy jump, for another 30 days.
A few things to note:
- The GrabOne Voucher Guarantee does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- It's always best to use your voucher before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your vouchers are about to expire.
- During the extended Voucher Guarantee period, your voucher can only be put towards the service stated on the voucher.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the Voucher Guarantee can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- The conditions on your voucher still apply during the Voucher Guarantee period.

Bakersfield has new environmentally-friendly street sweepers
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. - The city has recently converted all of its street sweepers to more environmentally-friendly trucks.
The newer trucks are powered by natural gas and save thousands of dollars a year in fuel cost as well as emitting far fewer pollutants into the air.
The old-style street sweeping trucks ran on diesel and were vacuum-based. The new fleet operates through a brush system.
"We started phasing in the new CNG vehicles about 10 years ago and within the last year have completed the process," said Michael Connor, city of Bakersfield Street Superintendent.
The city usually receives about five complaints a week from residents saying that the newer trucks aren't as efficient because a dirt residue is left behind.
However, city crews say standing water left in the gutter create the problem, not the trucks.
"When people overwater their lawns, it flows to the gutter. When our trucks go by and sweep, it leaves a film residue of dirt on the asphalt," said Connor.
Street maintenance officials say the new state water restrictions should help curb the situation.
"We felt the new water conservation efforts will be a plus. People will be watering less when we are out there sweeping,"said Connor.
The street sweeping trucks work in tandem. If there's too much water and debris in the gutter, the first truck will move the debris away from the curb. After the water flows back, the second truck will go through and pick up the debris, leaving just the water behind.
"Water is the worst thing on street sweeping days. We hope residents can understand that on the day we sweep, maybe they can shut down the water system. Hopefully with more drought awareness, that will help us out tremendously," said Damon Chow, city street cleaning division supervisor.
Another problem city crews face on street sweeping day is when cars are parked on the street while they are trying to do their job.
"We can't pick up all the debris if a car is parked, we have to go around the vehicle and will lose at least three sweeper lengths, leaving debris in the gutter line," said Chow.
City officials say in order for them to do a more efficient job cleaning the streets, residents should know what day of the month they will be going through their area.
"We would like for them to remove their vehicles and any standing water when we are operating in their area," said Chow.

Had to quit taking it
Posted by Reviewer2285259 on Apr 11, 2016
I have dealt with depression all my life, partially genetic and partially situational. I noticed I was getting more and more depressed, and heard that glucosamine/chondroitin can cause depression. I quit taking it and my depression improved. I also had the same experience with MSM, which was much worse.

Not just a convenient mousing option, Pen Mouse also helps those with wrist problems such as carpal tunnel syndrome as it prevents aggravating injuries unlike regular mice as it does not require use of the wrist.
This mouse functions on almost any surface, including your palm, with its three dpi settings, switchable between 400/800/1200 dpi to accommodate various sensitivity preferences. A slight, downward push activates the left-click, while right-click and flying-scroll buttons, towards the tip of the Pen Mouse, give users a brand new mousing experience that is both comfortable and accurate. Pushing the flying-scroll button and vertically or horizontally moving the Pen Mouse produces fast and convenient scrolling.
The wireless Pen Mouse connects to desktops and notebooks via USB with a very small, Pico dongle. Powered by a single AAA battery, Genius' Pen Mouse enters a power-saving sleep-mode when not in use. To start mousing again, simply press any button. Also, provided is a carrying case that protects the Pen Mouse and dongle when traveling.
The Pen Mouse in new carbon grey or silver color options is now available in the US for the suggested retail price of $49.99. More product information available here.

The Bomb
Flailing your way out of a failed joke
By Jessica Cassyle Carr
Nothing is as uniquely ego-wounding and embarrassing as the awkward silence following a bad joke.
Observe: Have you heard about the new corduroy pillows? They're making headlines.
We'll assume you have not been slayed. Although that stinkbomb was culled from an infinite online source of bad jokes, not our own minds, there is shame in our collective Alibi bosom. So what's the right protocol when a joke goes horribly wrong? Here are two famous scenarios, one of suicide and one of recovery (sounds like we're about to talk about drugs):
1) Michael Richards' appearance in an L.A. comedy club has received attention for Richards' repugnant racist remarks, as it should, but it's also exemplary of one worst-case scenario in joke telling. After being interrupted in the middle of his set, the former "Seinfeld" star makes a racist comment, delivered in the cadence and posture of a stand-up comedian, not that of an angry outburst. The audience continues to laugh. Then, instead of stopping himself, Richards pushes it over the edge, repeatedly saying the "n" word and other epithets, as if his outburst has some acceptable comic license. Thus, the demise of Kramer.
2) Gilbert Gottfried takes the stage at the New York Friars Club Roast of Hugh Hefner soon after 9/11. Gottfried opens with: "I wanted to catch a plane, but I couldn't get a direct flight because they had to stop at the Empire State Building first." Someone in the audience yells, "Too soon." There is a lull, then Gottfried says, "OK" and launches into "The Aristocrats," the notoriously dirty joke, which was made into a film of the same name last year. The audience is quickly hysterical, and Gottfried's performance (and career) is saved.
You won't know if your joke will bomb until you tell it, so the moral of the story is this: If you plan on taking a risk by being offensive, corny or otherwise, come prepared with a back-up, some reliable chestnut that will get the audience back on your side. When your original joke fails (it's bound to happen sometime), don't dwell on it--just cough up a zinger! Even if the second joke isn't hilarious, moving on shows you don't take yourself too seriously.

Kamduni gang-rape murder accused pray for protection
Kolkata: The accused in the Kamduni gang-rape and murder of a 20-year-old college girl on Friday prayed for protection, expressing apprehension that they might be subjected to bodily harm in custody.
The accused, who were produced before the court of Sanchari Sarkar, Additional Sessions Judge II at Bankshall Court here, prayed through their counsel Firoz Edulji that necessary security be provided to them so that they are not tortured or subjected to bodily harm.
Stating that one of the accused has already been severely assaulted at Dumdum correctional home recently, Edulji prayed that armed guards be posted outside the cell of the petitioners and that they be kept segregated from other inmates in the home.
The petitioners submitted that Ajmal Kasab, the only terrorist caught alive in the Mumbai 26/11 attack, had been provided round-the-clock security at the Arthur Road prison in Maharashtra.
The accused persons also referred to the Delhi gang-rape accused Ram Singh`s unnatural death in Tihar Jail and expressed fear that they might also face the same fate.
Claiming that they might be poisoned, they also demanded that food served to them in custody be tasted before being served to them.
The hearing in the matter was adjourned till Tuesday, when it would be taken up for hearing again.
The college girl was abducted, gang-raped and murdered in Kamduni village near Barasat, about 20 km from Kolkata, on June 7 this year.

Briscoe buoyant in spite of December jolt
Relevant offers
Briscoe Group says a record annual net profit of $30 million-plus is on the cards, despite a stuttering start to December slowing sales growth.
The retailer, which owns Briscoes, Living and Giving and Rebel Sport, is forecasting net profit for the year ending January 27 to leap at least 9 per cent on the previous year, on a 3.4 per cent sales increase to $452.7m.
Managing director Rod Duke said that in dollar figures net profit would probably come in at about $30.4m - continuing the company's trend of reporting solid sales and profit growth in a tough retail environment.
The company signalled the full-year result, which will be confirmed to the market on March 7, in its update on trading for the fourth quarter yesterday. Sales rose 3.1 per cent year-on-year to $150.5m.
Same-store sales growth rose 2.6 per cent for the year, but just 0.73 per cent in the quarter.
Duke said trading in November and January was "pretty good".
"The week before and after Christmas were very good," Duke said. "But the first two weeks of December were very bloody ordinary."
Other retailers had hit the same problem. "I don't know what happened, I think it's one of those really peculiar trends."
But he was reasonably pleased with the numbers for the quarter, and in particular Rebel Sport's performance for the year - which bested the previous year when the Rugby World Cup delivered a significant but one-off sales boost.
Same-store sales at Rebel Sport grew 2.1 per cent in the quarter and 0.49 per cent for the year.
"I had some reservations Rebel would jump the hurdle but they did."
The group said same-store homeware sales for the year rose 3.6 per cent.
Duke said he was pleased annual growth in profit had significantly outstripped that of sales.
However, he disagrees with reports of increasing consumer confidence and improving retail conditions.
"It's still particularly difficult out there.
"For my business it's going to be more of the same, but just doing it smarter."
Morningstar analyst Nachi Moghe said the slowdown in same-store sales growth - after reaching 6.8 per cent in the first half of the year - was likely to be due to the effect of the Rugby World Cup in 2011 and the weak start to December.
He expected same-store sales growth would tick along at 2.5 per cent to 3 per cent.
But he said that could increase if major rival The Warehouse failed to execute its strategy to revamp stores and improve product range and quality.
Plans to increase the size of existing stores and build in new catchment areas will be detailed at next month's release of the audited full-year results.
Shares in Briscoe Group closed unchanged yesterday at $2.50.
Fourth-quarter sales up 3.1 per cent year-on-year to $150.5m, with same-store sales up 0.73 per cent. Full-year sales up 3.4 per cent to $452.7m, with same-store sales up 2.6 per cent. Same-store homeware sales up 3.63 per cent for the year, same-store sports sales up 0.49 per cent. Full-year net profit expected to be up at least nine per cent to more than $30m

Stream Of Spire & Throne's New EP 'Toll Of The Wound' Exclusively With Terrorizer
Cavernous Edinburgh based doom trio Of Spire & Throne will be releasing their utterly pulverising new EP 'Toll Of The Wound' next month, but you can bask in the bleakness right here, right now, exclusively with Terrorizer…
Of Spire & Throne have been steadily refining their hefty, abyssal sound over the past five years, releasing a string of EPs that captivated the doom underground, including 2012's gigantic 'Vagary', a dark 21 minute epic that threatens the foundations of both your house and sanity, and a split with Dutch sludge brigade Ortega last year. If you've never had the pleasure of being flattened by these guys, then you should probably rectify that right now – and what a fine place to start!
Mastered by the legendary James Plotkin (Khanate, O.L.D., Phantomsmasher), 'Toll Of The Wound' could well be the band's heaviest release so far. The three lengthy tracks that comprise it sound humongous, summoning a dense, weighty presence that will have Corrupted, Burning Witch and Winter fans drooling with delight.
Check it out below…
'Toll Of The Wound' is due to be released on May 13th via Broken Limbs Recordings.
You can find Of Spire & Throne on Facebook.

Some county spending would need analysis of impact on women, minorities
New Milwaukee County programs or contracts costing $300,000 or more would require an analysis of how women and minorities would be affected, under a proposal advanced Thursday by a County Board committee.
The review would consider how racial minorities, people with disabilities, the elderly and women would be affected.
"This is an important step toward eliminating unintended negative impacts of proposals on minority communities when we make final decisions," said Supervisor Khalif Rainey, the author of the plan.
The county's Community Development Business Partners office would draft a detailed plan for how the review would be conducted, under Rainey's proposal.
The County Board's Judiciary Committee endorsed the measure on a 7-0 vote Thursday. The full board will consider it Feb. 6.
