Tanzania Football Federation (TFF) and Tanzania Olympic Committee (TOC) top officials have instantly condemned the bloodshed in Mogadishu that claimed a life of Somalia Football Federation's (SFF) chairman Said Mohamed Nur on Wednesday.
In separate statements, the TFF president Leodegar Tenga said the slain of the official, who played a big role in the upgrading of Somali young generation through football, is condemned in the strongest terms.
Nur was also a member of the Council of East and Central Africa Football Association's (CECAFA) executive committee whose president is Tenga.
Ten people died, including Nur, in the blast alleged to have been masterminded by terrorist group Al Shaabab.
Following the demise of the Somalia FA official all football matches, including the premiership ones, will be preceded by a minute silence in the next seven days.
In a closely related development, the secretary general of the Tanzania Olympics Committee Filbert Bayi has also condemned the killings in the strongest terms.
Bayi said condemned the killing of ten people at the reopening of a theater in Somalia on Wednesday and asked the African Union (AU) to tighten security at sporting gatherings.
Speaking in telephone interview, Bayi said the death of ten people in Somalia should be a wake up call to AU. He said sports gathering should be secured from terrorist attacks.
He said the AU should make sure that they provide enough security at all sports gatherings as the Mogadishu blast is the third to happen at a sports gatherings in the East Africa region.
"We want the AU to provide enough security at all sport gatherings. Similar incidents happened in Uganda and Kenya last year and now in Somalia. We want the AU to protect people so that they can access stadiums and other places to watch sports activities without any fear," he said.
On Wednesday, a suspected suicide bomb blast in a newly reopened theater killed more than seven people, including Somalia Olympic Committee head Aden Yabarow Wiish and Football federation chief Nur.
Bayi described the suicide blast at the theater as barbaric and should not be repeated at any sports gathering or elsewhere. He said sports bring together people of different cultures, races, region and traditions and should be spared from any violence.
"TOC want to express its in depth grief to the families of Wiish and Nur, family members of those who died during the suicide blast, the International Olympic Committee, International Football Federation (FIFA) and all sports lovers across the globe. We are joining them at this hard time," said Bayi.
The TOC official said sports has emerged victorious everywhere in the world and hopes that the Somali theater blast will not weaken sporting activities in that country and instead strengthen it.

International Attentions On Guam After Violent Murders
By Gaynor Dumat-ol Daleno
HAGÅTÑA, Guam (Pacific Daily News, Feb. 15, 2013) – International media attention on Guam in the aftermath of Tuesday night's knife attacks in the heart of the island's tourist district continued yesterday when a third visitor from Japan succumbed to his injuries at the island's civilian hospital.
As soon as Guam Memorial Hospital (GMH) administration confirmed the third Japanese tourist fatality yesterday afternoon, Japanese print and electronic media, who have kept vigil for updates outside the hospital, immediately called, texted and filed stories remotely to spread the news to millions of viewers and readers in Japan.
Another set of Japanese reporters and their camera crews gathered at the site of the stabbings outside The Plaza in the heart of Guam's tourist district. NHK TV and another network sent live reports to Tokyo as new development surfaced.
As live reports were filed, tourists and local residents quietly trickled in, bringing flowers and bottles of water or juice to a makeshift memorial.
Yoko Inoue, a 14-year veteran journalist with the Yomiuri Daily News, said coverage of the attack has run on Page one at her newspaper since the day of the attack and again will be there in today's edition because of the increase in the number of Japanese tourists who died. Inoue, a second reporter and a photographer from her newspaper were sent to Guam to cover the event.
Inoue said Japan is captivated by the story, in part because Guam is known to many tourists as a safe place and is a familiar tourist destination to many Japanese.
Last year, more than 900,000 tourists from Japan visited Guam, making up more than 71 percent of overall visitor arrivals in 2012.
Gov. Eddie Calvo, speaking at a Rotary Club meeting in the Guam Marriott Resort yesterday, gave an emotional speech about how one man's attack has drawn attention to the island in an unfavorable light.
During the first day of the news coverage, a handful of reporters from Japan arrived on Guam. By noon yesterday, the governor said as many as 60 journalists were on the island.
The governor's voice wavered as he described the pain he felt when he came to visit an elderly Japanese man at GMH. That man, the governor said, lost his wife and daughter in the knife attack, and two of his grandchildren remained in the hospital for knife wounds. The children are 8 months old and 3 years old, respectively, and are siblings, hospital administration confirmed.
The young children were in stable condition yesterday at the Guam Memorial Hospital's pediatrics unit.
Court documents state that the 29-year-old woman who died, Rie Sugiyama, was the mother of the 8-month-old and the 3-year-old. The elderly woman who died was identified as Kazuko Uehara, she was Sugiyama's grandmother. Four generations of the Uehara family were on Guam for a wedding, Japanese media reported.
Japanese people understand that the attack was unusual on Guam, Inoue said.
Eyes on court system
The arrest and filing of charges against the suspect, 21-year-old Chad Ryan De Soto, a former student of John F. Kennedy High School, also has put the media glare on the local court system.
While his motive was unclear, court papers alleged that De Soto drove his car into an ABC convenience store late Tuesday night and started stabbing people as he came across them. The defendant "intended on hurting as many people" as he could, court documents allege.
The third fatality, 51-year-old Hitoshi Yakota, who died at GMH, wasn't related to the two women who died, according to GMH medical director Larry Lizama.
The 29-year-old mother was stabbed five times while trying to protect her 8-month-old baby and died at the scene, court documents state. The 81-year-old victim was stabbed twice and also died at the scene, court documents state.
The suspect was apprehended at the scene and charged the afternoon after his arrest with two counts of aggravated murder and other allegations. He is held on $2 million cash bail. An additional charge of aggravated murder was filed yesterday for Yakota's death.
Joshua Tenorio, director of policy, planning and community relations at the Judiciary of Guam, said the high-profile case will put a spotlight on the U.S. criminal justice system and the Guam Courts.
"There is a sense of urgency when dealing with such profoundly serious cases such as aggravated murder," Tenorio said.
"There should be every expectation that this case will be dealt with in a timely manner keeping in mind that the rights of the accused are guaranteed by the Constitution. The rights of the victims are guaranteed by local statute and the attorney general's office has a Victims Advocates Unit with the duty and obligation to assist."
Judges also have taken legal and professional oaths to ensure the fairness and impartiality of our system of justice, Tenorio said.
The De Soto case is proceeding at a normal pace, he said.
"In certain instances, the prosecutor has acted faster, such as charging the defendant less than 24 hours from the incident rather than waiting the maximum 48 hours under the law," Tenorio said.
"Whether you are a resident or visitor, the courts are there to ensure that justice is served and that individuals are held accountable for their criminal actions."
International look at U.S.
Tenorio doesn't recall another case in the Guam judicial system that has drawn as much media attention as the De Soto case.
Cynthia Ecube, president of the Guam Bar Association, said the community is deeply saddened by the loss of the individuals who died and the tragedy of those who were severely injured in the attack.
"In light of the fact that this tragedy has involved visiting individuals from our neighboring countries, it has undoubtedly attracted global media attention around the world," Ecube said.
She said this case will offer the international community an opportunity to observe the American legal process on Guam.
"Our courts follow the rule of law, which strongly advocates the rights of victims who have suffered while ensuring that fairness and due process is afforded to the accused party charged with a crime," she said.

The Prevention and Combating of Corruption Bureau (PCCB) has hailed the media as a true partner in the war against corruption.
Speaking in Mwanza yesterday at a training workshop on the fight against corruption organised for members on the press, PCCB Mwanza Bureau Chief Christopher Mariba said the media has played a big role in the apprehension of people suspected to be involved in corruption.
Mariba said the media has been a partner in the war against corruption, adding that most corruption cases being handled by his bureau were a result of media coverage.
The two-day training is meant to build the capacity of journalists on matters pertaining to the fight against corruption so they can inform the public on the government's efforts in the fight against the social vice.
He appealed to journalists to continue working with PCCB in the fight against corruption for the betterment of the nation and for a just society.
"Everybody must take part in this war, for the vice affects everybody in the society and unless we join hands its will be difficult for PCCB alone to succeed in the war," he said.
Mariba said because of the good cooperation his bureau is getting from members of the press, the number of cases on corruption which the PCCB in Mwanza is prosecuting have been increasing.
He said he would not let down the media or spoil the good relations between journalists and the PCCB, adding that he would nurture the cooperation by promptly working on corruption allegations exposed by the media and brought to the attention of his bureau.

To the editor:Oldham County Fiscal Court does not know what no new taxes means. They use small statements like it only costs less than a penny per $100 of appraised value. This is like $2 per month per household and $25 per year on households upon the next raise of 4 percent and up each time they raise it, but this is not a tax it's a tax base. Lets raise the tax on homeowners' insurance, automobile insurance from 5 to 10 percent says the finance committee, but wait I'm already paying 7.25 percent so does this mean I'll pay 15 percent after the tax?

Language Issues
All Haitian children speak Haitian Creole, also called Kreyòl. About 90% of Haitians can only speak Kreyòl, with French being the common second language among the remaining 10%. Only about half of Haitians are literate (52.9%) [1] and under a third (30%) reach the sixth grade. Complicating matters, there are three separate dialects of Kreyòl spoken in the northern, center, and southern areas [2].
Fluency and literacy in French is considered a mark of education and social class and provides greater access to higher education and employment. This is a continuing controversy, according to the Cultural Orientation Resource Center. Even with the education reforms of 1978, controversy over use of Creole in schools continues, and some Haitian emigrants rally against bilingual education in their new schools.
Since 1978, Haitian Creole has had an official spelling and the national education reform has mandated the use of Haitian Creole in elementary grades. Many Haitian families trust tradition and continue to want French books, although educators know that in order to read a child must understand the language. There are many texts and textbooks written in Haitian Creole, but most bookstores in Haiti carry only French books. Since the 6th grade national test requires a Creole text, all schools teach reading and writing of Creole, even when French dominates instruction time. In the majority of schools, even though the books are in French, the teachers themselves are not fluent in French. Since 80% of schools in Haiti are own and run by private individuals and entities, enforcing national reform efforts is quasi impossible. (sources needed)
Additional Language Information and Opinions
Additional names for Haitian Creole include Haitian Creole French or just Creole in English; Kreyòl or Ayisyen in Kreyòl; and Créole Haïtien in French. A creole is usually the descendant of a bilingual or multilingual pidgin, which is usually a mixture of words from the source languages with minimal, irregular grammar. Creoles consistently develop regular and very similar grammars in the second or third generation of speakers removed from the influence of source language speakers.
According to sources cited at Ethnologue, Kreyol Aiysyen (sic) shows influences from Wolof, Fon, and Éwé. In 1961 it was granted legal and educational status in Haiti. It has a growing literature, including poetry, but lower social status than Standard French.
Dr. Paul Farmer of Partners in Health (Zanmi LaSanté), in addition to organizing health care for a million of the poorest Haitians, has written extensively about the history and development needs of Haiti, and was the subject of a book by Tracy Kidder, Mountains Beyond Mountains.
Haitian Creole is a very dynamic language which is constantly creating new words to adapt to the conjectures of the moments. The Haitian people are known for their extensive oral traditions and oral literature. Knowledge is most often transmitted orally, therefore individual's memories are most adapted to oral learning. For example, while many Americans no longer memorize any phone numbers, Haitians who use phone keep friends and family phone lists in their brain. This is just one example of how people practice memorizing information. Haitian spend a lot of time telling stories, discussing issues, and discussing life. People in Haiti use extensive repertoire of proverbs as cognitive tools to summarize the reasons for actions and events.
The Haitian community is a global community. Because of political persecution and economic hardship, Haitian people have emigrated and settled in the United States, Canada, and several Caribbean islands and nations. They constitute a large portion of the workforce in the Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos, the Bahamas. There are also many Haitians in France, the French West Indies, and French Guayana. Most Diaspora Haitian keep in touch with relatives in Haiti and provide financial support to some of their relatives. Remittances are the most significant contributor of foreign currency to the Haitian economy, and amount to more than a billion dollars a year. In order to keep communication around the world Haitians use cassette recordings and cellular telephone. The need for cheap communication has brought some internet innovations such as internet phones very quickly to Haiti. Although most Haitians do not own PC's, there are Cybercafés in many towns, where people go to write emails to relatives, surf the internet, and make phone calls. Free internet access is rare but is available in many of the 55 libraries funded by FOKAL, the Haiti branch of the Soros foundation

DADE CITY, Florida - A storm toppled power lines and trees on Sunday, damaging homes across part of Pasco County.
On Lee Avenue in Dade City, high winds yanked a massive tree out of the ground and sent it tumbling inches from a home. "We're just lucky. We're just lucky, lucky," said the homeowner, who only identified himself as Gilbert.
But just a few miles away, there were residents who were not so lucky. Falling tree branches damaged three homes in a mobile home park along Laura Lane. "It was on the trailer here, and then on her porch," said Julia Preston.
Fortunately, there was no other serious damage to the trailer. But two neighboring mobile homes were deemed unlivable after the heavy branch landed on the roof, causing significant damage.
Pasco County Fire Rescue closed off a portion of Blanton Road and Parrish Road because a tree fell over onto power lines. Drivers were forced to turn and find another way around.
At the storm's height, more than one thousand customers lost power, but that number dwindled to just a few hundred by nightfall.
On Sugarfoot Lane at Trilby Cemetery Road, high winds caused serious damage to farmland property.
"We looked out and the barn and the roof were going across the pasture," said resident David Hink.
Just down the road, another homeowner ended up chasing after her livestock. "Just a whole lot of wind and the horses were scattered, which is why we came out to look to see what was going on," said Andrea Valdez.
Despite the heavy rain and damage, there were no reports of serious injuries.

IPv4 calculations
WARNING: Work in progress. Do not edit this article unless you are the original author.
Refresh on TCP/IP model
When the ARPANet (a packet oriented network) was born in those good old seventies, engineers had to solve the problem of making computers being able to exchange packets of information over the network and they invented in 1974 something you are now using to view this page: TCP/IP! TCP/IP is a collection of various network protocols, being organized as a stack. Just like your boss does not do everything in the company and delegates at lower levels which in turn delegates at an even more lower level, no protocol in the TCP/IP suite takes all responsibilities, they are working together in a hierarchical and cooperative manner. A level of the TCP/IP stack knows what its immediate lower subordinate can do for it and whatever it will do will be done the right way and will not worry about the manner the job will be done. Also the only problem for a given level of the stack is to fulfill its own duties and deliver the service requested by the upper layer, it does not have to worry about the ultimate goal of what upper levels do.
<illustration goes here TCP/IP model>
The above illustration sounds horribly familiar : yes, it is sounds like this good old OSI model. Indeed it is a tailored view of the original OSI model and it works the exact same way: so the data sent by an application A1 (residing on computer C1) to another application A2 (residing on computer C2) goes through C1's TCP/IP stack (from top to bottom), reach the C1's lower layers that will take the responsibility to move the bits from C1 to C2 over a physical link (electrical or lights pulses, radio waves...sorry no quantum mechanism yet) . C2's lower layers will receive the bits sent by C1 and pass what has been received to the C2's TCP/IP stack (bottom to top) which will pass the data to A2. If C1 and C2 are not on the same network the process is a bit more complex because it involves relays (routers) but the global idea remains the same. Also there is no shortcuts in the process : both TCP/IP stacks are crossed in their whole, either from top to bottom for the sender or bottom to top for the receiver. The transportation process in itself is also absolutely transparent from an application's point of view: A1 knows it can rely on the TCP/IP stack to transmits some data to A2, how the data is transmitted is not its problem, A1 just assumes the data can be transmitted by some means. The TCP/IP stack is also loosely coupled to a particular network technology because its frontier is precisely the physical transportation of bits over a medium and so the physical network's technology, just the same way A1 does not care about how the TCP/IP stack will move the data from one computer to another. The TCP/IP stack itself does not care about the details about how the bits are physically moved and thus it can work with any network technology no matter the technology is Ethernet, Token Ring or FDDI for example.
The Internet layer
The goal of this article being more focused on calculation of addresses used at the Internet layer so let's forget the gory details of the TCP/IP stack works (you can find an extremely detailed discussion in How the TCP/IP stack works... to be written...). From here, we assume you have a good general understanding of its functionalities and how a network transmission works. As you know the Internet layer is responsible to handle logical addressing issues of a TCP segment (or UDP datagram) that has either to be transmitted over the network to a remote computer or that has been received from the network from a remote computer. That layer is governed by a set of strict set rules called the Internet Protocol or IP originally specified by [RFC 791] in september 1981. What is pretty amazing with IP is that, although its original RFC has been amended by several others since 1981, its specification remains absolutely valid! If have a look at [RFC 791] you won't see "obsoleted". Sure IPv4 reached its limits in this first half the XXIst century but will remains in the IT landscape for probably several years to not say decades (you know, the COBOL language....). To finish on historical details, you might find interesting know that TCP/IP was not the original protocol suite used on the ARAPANet, it superseded in 1983 another protocol suite the Network Control Program. NCP looks like, from our point of view, quite prehistoric but it is a big importance as it established a lot of concepts still in use today. Even more funny: the engineers at that time encountered quite the same kind or problem we encouters nowadays (yes, in 1970 they were upset by network congestions... see [1]).
Let's go back to those good old seventies: the engineers who designed the Internet Protocol retained a 32 bits addressing scheme for IP and, afterall, the ARAPnet will never have the need to be able to address billions of hosts! If you look at some ARAPANet diagrams it counted less than 100 hosts in
who would ever need millions of addresses afterall? So in theory with those 32 bits we can have around 4 billions of computers within that network and arbitrarily retain that the very first connected computer must be given the number "0", the second one "1", the third one "2" and so on until we exhaust the address pool at number 4294967295 giving no more than 4294967296 (2^32) computers on that network because no number can be a duplicate.
Classful and classless networks
Those addresses follows the thereafter logic:
|32 bits (fixed length)
|Network part (variable length of N bits )
|Host part (length : 32 - N bits)
- The network address : this part is uniquely assigned amongst all of the organizations in the world (i.e. No one in the world can hold the same network part)
- The host address : unique within a given network part
So in theory we can have something like this (remember the network nature is not to be unique, it hs to be be a collection of networks :
- Network 1 Host 1
- the network part : means more networks possible at the cost of having less hosts per network
- the host part : means less networks but more hosts per network
It might sounds a bit abstract but let's take an example : imagine we dedicate only 8 bits for the network part and the remaining 24 for the hosts part. What happens? First if we only
Is the network part assigned by each organization to itself? Of course not! Assignment are coordinated at the worldwide level by what we call Regional Internet Registries or RIRs which, in turn, can delegate assignments to third-parties located within their geographic jurisdiction. Those latter are called Local Internet Registries or LIRs (the system is detailed in RFC 7020). All of those RIRs are themselves put under the responsibility of now now well-known Internet Assigned Numbers Authority or IANA. As of 2014 five RIR exists :
- ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) : covers North America
- LACNIC (Latin America and Caribbean Network Information Centre): covers South America and the Caribbean
- RIPE-NCC (Réseaux IP Européens / or RIPE Network Coordination Centre): covers Europe, Russia and middle east
- Afrinic (Africa Network Information Center) : covers the whole Africa
- APNIC (Asian and Pacific Network Information Centre) : covers oceania and far east.

Comments On Feb 04, 2015:The visibility through the laminated stack is much better than individual tear offs. I don't ride without them. One thing you have to get used to is they require a commitment when you tear them off. A simple little tug doesn't work because they are laminated together. You have to pull all the way through.

Comments On Aug 26, 2014:Like that there is no distortion with having the three tear offs laminated together.
However, I've found about 10% of the time, if I go to tear one off, it ends up taking all three (or two, if it's not a new set) instead of just the top layer.

That is pretty amazing really great work
Well I finally finished this one! The WIP thread for this is at Torentine Empire: my li'l corner of a fictional world but basically, the entire map is built in Adobe Illustrator (CS3) and then pasted into Photoshop in groupings of layers where i apply various filters and layer some subtle effects in to make it look more polished. I especially like the easy mask-ability of Photoshop. I made good use of graphic styles in illustrator to get train tracks etc and i use some free fonts for some of the little icons. All of the coats of arms are built in illustrator as well. The globe is taken from the original fractal file of the planet and then shaded.
This is the first in a project of about 4 (maybe more) atlas style maps which will focus on this fictional place. The next will either be a land use, resource, topography and relief map (all wrapped into one if i can manage it) or a large city map of the imperial capital surrounded by some smaller city insets.
Something is up with the site tonight and i can't seem to view the map i uploaded (had troubles). You can see it at the following link until i can get it uploaded properly:

Wow, this is amazing. It has everything you would expect from a real-world professional map, only it's a fantasy world. Superb job.
The legend is awesome. And the globe thing in the upper left corner is intriguing.
Beautifully executed!

Heiliger Bimbam, as germans say. This is incredibly well done. Illustrator maps are seldom here and this one makes me want to learn it better.
Excellent map. Well done.
Very nice map. Very professional looking.

Masking in photoshop is a breeze compared to illustrator in my opinion and makes it easier to get a nice finished product.

A 20-year-old suspect in a deadly hit-and-run in Douglas County bonded out of jail as her father made an emotional apology to the victim's family.
Erin Finn went before a judge for the first time Friday after being arrested Thursday night. Police say she caused an accident on C-470 near Yosemite early Thursday morning that killed a father of three.
Lone Tree police are still trying to figure out exactly what happened. They closed eastbound lanes of C-470 between Yosemite and I-25 from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. on Saturday to search for evidence in the case.
"I know this should have never happened. It's just a total accident, just a big tragedy," Erin Finn's father Dave Finn said.
Finn shed tears for the family of 51-year-old Dennis Dolce and for his own family.
Police say Erin Finn fled and flagged down a driver who took her to a nearby 7-Eleven and then reported the car stolen. Police later matched a black glove outside her apartment to a Halloween costume seen in the 7-Eleven surveillance video.
Dolce's family says the father of three was headed to work at UPS.
"Disbelief. Once I found out he passed away, just deep sadness. He was a good man," Dolce's brother-in-law Jeff Nelson said.
Dave Finn said his daughter is the mother of a 1 1/2-year-old and has been having marital problems. He says there's one thing he wants Dolce's family to know.
"Our hearts are heavy on this side, and I can imagine how the other family feels. I'm truly, deeply sorry," he said.
Dave Finn said his daughter left jail with an ankle monitor to keep her from fleeing. She'll be back in court next week.

Cute DIY St. Patrick's Day Craft: Rainbow Ribbon Hair Barrette
The girls and I were brainstorming cute St. Patrick's day craft ideas
and came up with this fun little rainbow cloud barrette.
These barrettes were inspired by our DIY Valentine's Day felt heart barrettes
First we cut pieces of thin ribbon into 15" long strips and tied them to the
bottom rung/bar of a simple hair barrette.
Here you can see our be-ribboned barrette with a ruler to show you the scale.
After tying the ribbons to the bottom bar of the barrette,
the girls carefully stitched a cut out felt cloud shape to the barrette
with white embroidery floss. Then I helped them tack a second felt cloud shape
to the bottom cloud to cover up the stitches and give the cloud more visual depth.
Rainbow hair barrette in action!
Finished rainbow cloud barrette ready for St. Patty's day
or any day we need a little rainbow cheer!
Pardon the sloppy stitching, It's a small price to pay for letting
the girls help sew their own barrettes!
You have to learn somehow, and this part doesn't show when it's in your hair.
These would be adorable pins to wear on your shirt or backpack as well!
Happy St. Patty's (RAINBOW) Day!

Rockford fire fighters say a 200-gallon tank of hydrochloric acid spilled in the maintenance area of the physical education center.
The building was evacuated. An employee was taken to St. Anthony Medical Center for exposure to the fumes. Hazmat crews were called in to stabilize the area.
The fire department was on the scene for several hours. An outside agency has since been called in to clean up the spill. The basketball game scheduled to take place Thursday night has not been cancelled.

Apple is actually asking for 100% of SaaS mobile revenue
It appears to me that the new "give Apple 30% of revenue" policy will apply to software subscriptions just as well as it appears to content. Many companies that offer a web service provide a mobile client. They charge on the web, and customers can access their service via mobile if they wish. Its a free option.
But now it appears that that will not be acceptable to Apple. Because if you offer a subscription *anywhere* you have to offer it through in app purchasing as well. This seems crazy to me for a bunch of reasons.
As an example, it sounds to me like for SalesForce to continue to offer their service, they will need to give Apple 30% of their subscription revenue for all customers that want to access SalesForce via mobile. So if SalesForce charges $50 per seat per month (I don't really know what their prices are right now), Apple wants $15 per month. They want their 30% cut of *all* of the SalesForce revenue even though the mobile product only offers a fraction of the value that the customer is paying for.
Think about it this way. Would the customer really pay that $50 if all they got was the mobile product? Lets say that, on average, the mobile product is 30% of the value of the product. The other 70% is the web based product, access to customer support, backup services, etc. If this scenario is even roughly correct, then what Apple is doing is asking for 100% or near 100% (perhaps more or less) of the value of the mobile experience. This analysis applies to any multi-platform SaaS product.
Extracting 100% of the value of the mobile product is a total non-starter, and if Apple enforces their new policy against SaaS businesses, I think most of the multi-platform ones will leave because the economics just won't work. The thing is, because Apple has so capriciously changed their policy, affecting companies like Amazon, and companies like SalesForce that have made a significant investment iOS investment, one has to wonder whether building iPhone apps is safe even if they don't initially enforce this policy against them. Because they could. If you always have to worry whether the platform vendor is going to figure out a way to put you out of business or extort you, it just may not be worth the risk. Damn I feel like I am writing about the Gambinos!
I am particularly worried about this because my company is going to launch a new service in April and we are busily working on an iOS application and we can't really turn back now. The main reason we chose iPhone is because I have an iPhone and an iPad and because the iPad currently leads the tablet market. But I am now worried that we may have made the wrong choice and should have gone the Android way.
If this doesn't get cleared up or changed, there will still be plenty of games and and productivity tools for the iPhone, but new multi-platform SaaS application developers won't touch iOS with a 10 foot pole. And existing companies will pull their iPhone apps in droves.
Well one thing for sure, the Android team must be kvelling!

Another question that I have is: how do FaceBook credits work on iOS. To be able to play FaceBook games you need FaceBook credits. At the moment I don't think you can buy them via the FaceBook iOS app. But if you do then Apple will take its cut.ReplyDelete
Now image if you are the games creator. When someone buys FaceBook credits via iOS you'll be paying twice - Apple takes it cut and then FaceBook takes it cut.
I went to a conference on mobile phone developing before the Apple iPhone launched and the big talk was working with carriers to get the app, written in Java, to the users. The carriers always wanted some sort of cut as did the handset makers.
When the iPhone SDK was released I thought how annoyed the handset makers and carriers would be now and how good this would be for the consumer. But this is now lock-in of the worst kind if you an application developer.
But there is an escape route that is still open: HTML. Necessity is the mother of all invention. Engineers are going to create fantastic mobile sites that act just as good as native applications because they have to, because 30% is far too much to ask.
Wow. Very good point about Facebook credits. I can't imagine how that is going to play out.ReplyDelete
I think the easiest way out of this debacle is that SaaS providers will make Apple look bad by passing on the Apple tax directly to consumers. There's nothing in the rules stopping services from saying "our normal plan is $10, our normal plan plus iOS access is $15". As long as the cost of the offer is the same on both your website and in-app (and this "iOS plan" is the only way of accessing your content in the iOS app), Apple has no grounds to complain.ReplyDelete
See my post here - http://www.thetechbastard.com/post/3326771970/a-hypothetical-netflix-ios-plan
Looks like it's time to start writing mobile stuff in jQuery Mobile as opposed to native apps. They can take their 30% and shove it then.ReplyDelete
Sorry, saturdaysaint, that's a good idea, but the Apple policy specifically states that the price via Apple has to be the same or lower than any price elsewhere.ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
Per Steve Jobs' statement yesterday, this isn't the intention.ReplyDelete
What Apple is trying to do is get a 30% referral fee for anyone who signs up to your service through an iOS AppStore app. You are welcome to promote your non-AppStore sign-up, but there must also be an in-AppStore sign-up option, so that Apple has the chance to receive remuneration in exchange for (effectively) marketing your product in the AppStore.
I think this would be a lot easier to swallow if we could choose between different AppStores run by different companies, offering different (competitive) plans, but that's not the world we live in :(
The problem is just that Apple fucks you up! If you do too much with them, you WILL have problems. Apple wants to control everything. Apple will not hesitate to turn its back on you. And it will be you who will lose, not Apple. So better stay away from the devil.ReplyDelete
I think you may be jumping to conclusions a little too soon. The press release and developer articles specifically state that the subscription is for apps delivering content - like publishers or magazines, etc. If your app doesn't offer that sort of content or if you don't use Apple's subscription service, I don't think you have anything to worry about.ReplyDelete
@Bryan Larsen: No, saturdaysaint is right, because the price IS the same everywhere. Great advice, saturdaysaint.ReplyDelete
What a lot of people don't seem to be mentioning is that this is a classic bait-and-switch for developers.ReplyDelete
When iPhone launched, they were all "use HTML5 to build mobile sites". Then they launched the app store and they were all "build apps to get the full experience". And people build apps that made the platform more attractive.
Note that their position of market dominance was heavily augmented by the fact that developers built lots of cool apps. Now they say to those selfsame developers who built value for them: "if you don't like it, go somewhere else".
As an aside: I was swayed towards the iPad by the fact that I could use it for an e-reader via the Kindle app.
People will just make their web service work in safari mobile.ReplyDelete
Take your idea one step further:
Our application is $100 a month. iOS access is an additional $1/month. Feel free to pay the $1 on our website or in the app store.
According to Jobs - "Our philosophy is simple – when Apple brings a new subscriber to the app, Apple earns a 30 per cent share; when the publisher brings an existing or new subscriber to the app, the publisher keeps 100 per cent and Apple earns nothing," said Jobs, Apple's CEO.ReplyDelete
So you just need to ensure that your customers come to you outside of the App. For companies like SalesForce this is not a problem, since most enterprise customers will be internet subscribers first then add the app.
Good luck with your SaaS app. We have been at it for a while now, its a fun ride.
If the mobile site does less, charge a separate additional fee for iPhone access, then only put that in the in app purchase.ReplyDelete
2011 is the year of the Mobile Web App. The App Store is helping to accelerate this trend.ReplyDelete
Please read the relevant documentation. Apple ask 30% of subscriptions made through Apple. You still free to offer subscription via other channels and your customers can buy it there. And none of these $$$ will go to Apple. However, if Apple bring you NEW customer, Apple wants its 30%.ReplyDelete
Lazy Old Man,ReplyDelete
You miss the point. The app store is a store I dont want to sell out of. But apple will force me and will bring me a customer that is a money loser. So Apple is doing me no favors by bringing me customers that I will break even on or lose money.
I am really worried about this. My SasS iOS app makes no sense to be subscribed to 'in-app'. It is just a compliment to the web app. They really need to be more clear about this. If it was was buying an in-app subscription then ok charge what you like for the service. But don't make me change by business model to conform to your wants. This sucks.ReplyDelete
saturdaysaint: you're assuming good faith on the part of a company which has been extremely greedy since they launched the AppStore. It seems very risky to rely on something like that when Apple might just quietly stall app approvals if they feel they're not capturing enough of your revenue or plan to enter your space. That was already a problem before and I find it hard to believe that they're going to stop here if they get away with it.ReplyDelete
From all of the discussion threads it's clearly confusing people and Apple's ambiguity doesn't help...ReplyDelete
It seems (at the moment at least) they are not targeting primarily web based SaaS who happen to also have a complimentary native app:
Jobs: "Our philosophy is simple – when Apple brings a new subscriber to the app, Apple earns a 30 per cent share; **when the publisher
brings an existing or new subscriber to the app, the publisher keeps 100 per cent and Apple earns nothing.**"
The second situation applies to SalesForce, 37signals, and a host of others, where the primary service is web based SaaS, and the iOS app is complimentary. Their subscribers start life by being driven to the primary service outside of the app store. Under the new terms the complimentary iOS app simply can't drive sales on its own (and in my experience they rarely do today). If the complimentary app does try to drive signups on its own, this is where you might get into the new conditions.
If Apple wants 30% then they should HOST all the content too. They should be the download pipeline and host all the back issues etc. I know they do the download for the app but what about for all the data from then on? Do you post your new content to the app store? Do they keep back issues? How deep? When do they cut if off? The minute I don't pay my $99 a year? Does the app and all the content disappear at the same time?ReplyDelete
Is a customer a new customer the first month or every month? Why does Apple get 30% of a magazine subscription every single month? If I renew after a year is Apple still in on the cut?
This is step one, not the final step as they have shown over and over. If they can figure a way to get in on SaaS dollars they will.
I develop for the Android and the iPhone. So far it has been much easier on the Android in so many areas. Apple needs to be really careful here to not annoy the developers. The customers will put up with a lot more than a developer will. Hank is already questioning his commitment as will others in short order. Not that anyone will bail just due to this but over time people will look at other platforms first then iPhone later due to the constant Apple taxes.

new to all this - and now my betta has ich :(
Hi all,
I received a surprise betta fish during secret santa over the company holiday and I've been trying to take care of it, but there's so many things to learn @_@. I never had fish before, I did some research online but I'm still not 100% sure what I'm doing is correct, so hopefully you guys can give me some advice:
tank: 5 gallon fluval chi (I have a very small apartment). It has gravel about 1 inch thick and some live plants (small bunch of amazon swords, 2x some kind of fern), a carbon moss ball, and a piece of driftwood.
filter: the fluval chi filter which I put a bunch of rocks on so it doesn't bubble so much, the betta doesn't seem to mind the mild current and likes to play around it actually.
tank mates: 2 zebra snails, 7 neon tetras (I know now that it's too many things, I did not know it at the time when I got them :/, I've been checking the water carefully to make sure everyone is ok) they all get along well and don't bother the other species.
water: Ammonia 0-0.25ppm (This exist before AND after the tap water + conditioner) so I am wondering if my test kit is off. I'm using the API Freshwater Master Test Kit. Nitrite: 0.25ppm, Nitrate: 0ppm. pH: 6-7 I can't read the color precisely... I don't think any cycle is going since I only had the fish about a week. I've been doing 30% water changes every day - 50% changes every 3 days and using API Stress Zyme and API Quick Start.
food: I alternate between tetra freeze dried bloodworms (1-4? I mashed them up a little so it's hard to tell), brine shrimp (mashed into power), betta bites (1-4 pellets) and new life spectrum (1-10... he gobbles them up so fast and they are so tiny), he eats everything super fast :D, I am watchful of his stomach so he doesn't eat too much.
--- THE ICH DEVELOPMENT: so originally I had a hydro theo 25watt heater in the tank which did not seem to raise the temperature to above 74 despite putting it on the max setting. So I swapped to the Aqueon 100 watt which did manage to get my water to 80ish and maxed out at that point. I think this is when the ich hatched... I saw it on my tetras first and I immediately isolated them into a 1gallon bowl (with original tank water). Then I saw my betta also had spots on him and he was swimming around kind of crazily... I moved him into a 1g bowl as well (with original water as I didn't want to upset him with a dramatic water change) and scrubbed down the 5 gallon and washed all the things - right now it's empty with just a snail and plants - hopefully the ich in it will die off with no fish to attach to.
Treatment: so I put the 25watt heater and a thermometer in with my betta in his bowl to raise the temperature - after 1 day I saw more dots on him as I think the Ich is growing from the heat. I put some aquarium salt in (1/2 teaspoon) and some Petco herbal ich treatment which I am really dubious about since it had no ingredients listed. Now I am not sure what I can do besides wait for the ich to come off and dosing them with medicine.
1. Should I be doing 100% water changes with the salt dosing? How do I change the water 100% without upsetting the betta? He really hates being netted. The instructions I saw for 100% changes included just dunking the betta into brand new water which seems to be a good way to shock him... But if I preserve the old water there might be icky ich in them ARGGHhhh...
2. He is very sad in the 1 gallon bowl with no decor or gravel (I didn't want to risk ich sticking to things), only the heater and a thermometer, is it ok to keep it like that for 10 days or however long it takes to kill the ich?
3. He's hovering on top a lot not moving with clamped fins which worries me, however he still has a huge appetite. I am not sure if I need to do something special to get oxygen in the water or is he ok breathing on the surface. When I turn the light on he swims around a bit. (I've been keeping it dark to reduce stress?) Is this normal? I have no idea what normal is as I've never had fish before :/
4. How do you guys make sure the water you are adding is the same temperature? I mean besides using a thermometer, how do you heat the new water up? I've been just adding a little boiling water to my tap to raise it... is this ok?
5. He also has a bit of white under his head on his chin... I can't tell if this is natural or unnatural... >_>
thanks for listening, hopefully he'll get better in the next few days.

Welcome to Bettafish.com and the world of fish. Firstly the neons are too much for the 5 gallon, I understand you didn't know atm...I'm not judging, we were all there at one point I'm sure. They are very active little guys and need more space. If you can return them or trade them for something you can use, like decor etc that would be great, if not...try moving them to a 10 gal.
For Ich...it reproduces by falling off the fish, raising the temp to 85 Fahrenheit will hasten the process of getting rid of them. The bettas clamped fins are normal for Ich. There are numerous meds out there for Ich, then of course the salt bath. Ich is highly contagious so you may have to treat your 5 gal as well.
100% water changes will always stress the fish out a little. I've never used the salt bath method, so I will leave that to more experienced fish keepers. I hope this helps, I knowmI didn't answer all your questions, but someone else on these helpful forums should. Good luck!

Sorry but tetra need to be kept in 10 gallons minimum. The tetra need to be rehomed or upgraded.
I also wouldn't keep more than one snail in a tank of that size and even then you will need more careful monitoring and more frequent changes.
You are extremely overstocked at this time and that is the cause of the illness.
While you are cycling you should use a drops kit for ammonia,nitrites and nitrates. You should test daily and do a 50% water change any time ammonia and nitrites hit as little as .25ppm. In addition to this a once weekly change of 50% with gravel siphon is needed. Cycling will take up to 2 months. First you will see a spike in ammonia, then nitrites. Ammonia will go to 0 first then nitrites. Finally you will be left with only nitrates which should be okay with one weekly 50% change including siphon for gravel cleaning. With the snail you may need twice weekly.. you'll have to keep testing and see.
The best treatment for ick is raising temperature of the water to 86-88F. This must be done very very slowly so you don't stress your fish.. no more than a degree per hour and 5 degrees per day. Also stop any time you see signs of stress. Leave it at this temp one week PAST the last sign of ick. Also aquarium salt at 1 tsp per gallon predissolved is good.. but you can't use it with snails or plants. The heat alone should be enough.
You use a thermometer in the running tap to get it the right temp before refilling any container. Boiling is not the best idea for a variety of reasons.
What is the temperature of the room your fish is in? What thermometer are you using to monitor heat? Your heating issues are very abnormal.
The gray under his chin is a sign of stress.

he's recovering i think!
Thanks AlphaBetta and Callistra!
Callistra - I had been changing the water 30-50% every day, and testing it every day. The ammonia was consistently 0.25 :/ with no spikes or drops - maybe I changed the water too much which prevented cycling? The nitrite did go 1 shade darker purple for 1 day but then with my water change it went back to the lightest again. I got a nitrate reading 1 day then it went away again with the water change.
Yes I realize now that I'm over stocked, at the time I did not since I saw someone's tank set up like that :/ I feel really bad for the tetras - they did not survive in the small bowl when I separated them to give them the salt treatment, gah. I also dropped one of the snails and killed it somehow, he stopped coming out of his shell :(
I'm not sure what temperature my room is in... around 70 I think, I live in NYC. I'm using this thermometer
I actually have 2 of these inside my betta bowl right now... one says 82 one says 88 -_- the water feels lukewarm to me.
I went to petco to see if they had any ich medicine and look at their bettas, all the ones they had also had some gray under their chin which reassured me it wasn't something super weird.
Currently I have my betta in a 1 gallon bowl so I can medicate him. I gave him half a drop of Quick Cure to see how he would react yesterday, and 1 tsp of aquarium salt, and the hydro theo heater. He did not seem to be distressed by the heat, the quick cure, or the salt which is good. He still eats a ton.
Today I gave him another 3/4 drop of quick cure. The white spots have fallen off from his body and he seems more peppy, however I still see a lot of white dots on his fins and lots on his tail (he's a veil tail) so I guess I will give him another dose tomorrow - with each dosing I'm also changing like 70% of the water.
Well in good news at least now he knows that I feed him and doesn't run away super fast when I come near, he even comes up to the surface and does the little dance for food :D Hopefully he will make a recovery. I will make sure to keep an eye on him for a week or so to make sure the ich does not come back.

Keep doing the salt and changes for a week. Just to be safe. Making sure to keep him in salt for no more than 10 days at the most.

The El Paso County Sheriff's Office says a woman found two armed men inside her home. They got away before deputies could find them.
It happened on Piros Drive near Constitution and Peterson in Colorado Springs around 8:30 Thursday night.
A spokesman for the Sheriff's Office says the woman heard a noise downstairs and saw the men. They're described as two black men wearing black clothes. One of them was about 6 feet 1 inch tall. The other was 5 feet 9 inches tall. They were both armed with handguns.
If you saw anything suspicious in that area that could help catch the suspects, call EPSO at 390-5555.

Last week I gushed about a TV newbie, Jacob Artist of Glee, and because we started this week off with the Emmys, I'm still thinking about the small screen. So on this dreary Friday (in New York, at least!), I'm writing about my favorite supporting actor winner who wasn't, Max Greenfield. He plays the neurotic but more so adorable Schmidt on New Girl, which is one of the only shows on television that actually makes me laugh out loud. (Side note: There are a lot of funny shows on TV right now, but I'm a tough cookie to crack!)
At first, you might think I chose Max because he has the most perfect face on the planet. And I would not argue with that. But it takes more than a chiseled jawline to make the highly exclusive Crush of the Week Club. For starters, sure, he's a lead character on one of the most popular shows on television today, but the amount of times he auditioned for pilots and was rejected is in the double digits. He showed some serious persistence, and it paid off. Love that! He also revealed to Vanity Fair not too long ago that he has a major dream: hosting Saturday Night Live, just like his co-star Zooey Deschanel did last year. (He's so obsessed with the show that he had an SNL-themed bar mitzvah as a teen!) I think it's fun to know that big-time celebrities still have fantasy goals just like us. Oh, and you know what else that Vanity Fair post reminded me about New Girl? We have absolutely no clue what Schmidt's first name is!
So, in honor of our beloved Max, let's play a game called… wait for it… Name Schmidt's First Name. Odds are we won't find out for a while, so jump on Twitter and tell me your best guess with the hashtag #SchmidtsFirstName should be ___________. I already started us off, but you have to go here to find out my pick!
Then, tell me in the comments who YOU think next week's Crush of the Week should be!

It's my favourite nebula in the sky because of its intricate nature, but a lack of practice and technique meant I didn't really nail it as I would have liked. I wasn't quite sure what I had got at the eyepiece until I saw it in the daylight - it was better than what I felt I had, but I still think this is a practice run and am looking forward to trying again at my dark sky site.
This is in a 16" with a Paracorr II and 13mm Ethos. An awesome eyepiece but impossible to try and frame - the field of view was bigger than this, but this is how it turned out. I spent about 1.5 hours at the eyepiece and am just loving my Catsperch - you can really concentrate on what you're doing.

After a few years of playoff disappointment, the Trotwood-Madison Rams got over the hump on Friday night as they defeated Avon in the Ohio Division II State Championship Game. For junior defensive back Cameron Burrows, the state title is the completion of a long and difficult process that started nearly a year ago. Completing that process with an undefeated record was just the cherry on top. "I feel great right now," said Burrows. "We knew that was what it was going to take for us to win a state title, 15-0. Coach Doug (Mo Douglass) said it last year before we even started lifting. He said, 'we're going to go 15-0' and we believed it." Trotwood got off to a fast start last year, leading 26-7 in the first half before ultimately losing the game. The same scenario was in play on Friday with the Rams holding a 35-14 lead in the third quarter, before seeing that lead dwindle to 35-28. Burrows and company learned from last year to not panic in those types of situations. "I wasn't worried at all," he said. "I believed in my coaching staff and my players and I trusted everybody." Getting to the finals last year was a major learning experience for the program and all of the players involved. Burrows said the biggest thing he learned was to play for all 48 minutes. "I learned to never give up," he said. "I learned to never cut a team short and think that you've got it made and to just play every minute and every second." Burrows had shut his recruitment down during the playoff run, declining to do interviews to focus on getting a state championship. With that mission now accomplished, he can now talk about the latest recruiting news, the biggest of which is the hire of Urban Meyer at Ohio State. "It was a good transition having Urban Meyer come up," Burrows explained. "I haven't talked to him but I've talked to Taver Johnson this week and he told me that he wanted me to know that he's still on board." During his period of silence, Burrows also took in the Alabama/LSU game and said it was right up there with the other big games he took in during the fall. "It was great," he said. "Every game I've been to there has been a lot of people and a lot of noise so it's all been great atmospheres."

Broccoli rabe, rapini, broccoletti, broccoli raab. Depending on where in the world you live, these nutritious leafy green bundles go by many aliases. Call them whatever you like. I call them delicious.
Broccoli Rabe was a staple in my family's diet when I was growing up. Honestly, it almost qualified as a comfort food! We probably ate it two or three times a week in various incarnations – with slabs of fresh mozzarella in between thick slices of rustic Italian bread; tossed with sausage, olive oil and Parmesan cheese over pasta; and simply sautéed with garlic, red pepper flakes and olive oil, just like I've made it here. What was the allure? I couldn't say. I guess we were just a broccoli rabe kind of family. Sometimes, you just have to take things as they are. read more >>

WASHINGTON — Political considerations influenced the talking points that U.N. Ambassador Susan Rice used five days after the deadly Sept. 11 assault in Benghazi, Libya, with State Department and other senior administration officials asking that references to terrorism groups and prior warnings be deleted, according to department e-mails.
The disclosures Friday raised new questions about whether the Obama administration tried to play down any terrorist factor in the attack.
The White House has insisted that it made only a "stylistic" change to the intelligence agency talking points from which Rice suggested on five Sunday talk shows.
Several agencies had engaged in an e-mail discussion about the talking points that would be provided to members of Congress and to Rice for their public comments. In one e-mail, then-State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland worried about the effect of openly discussing earlier warnings about the dangers of Islamic extremists in Benghazi.
Nuland's e-mail said such revelations "could be abused by members of Congress to beat the State Department for not paying attention to (central intelligence) agency warnings," according to a congressional official who reviewed the 100 pages of e-mails.
The final talking points reflected the work of government agencies — CIA, FBI, State Department, the office of the Director of National Intelligence — apparently determined to cast themselves in the best light.

Phoebe Black (1810 – 1882) was a pure-blood witch, and possibly a sister of Alexia Walkin, Licorus and Eduardus Limette. She was also possibly the aunt of Cygnus Black I and Arcturus Black I.[1] She never married or had any children.
Phoebe is a Titaness of the Moon in the Greek mythology. She is a daughter of Uranus and Mother Earth.[2] She is by her brother Coeus the mother of Leto and Leto is by her cousin Zeus the mother of Apollo (Sun) and Artemis (Moon).
There is also a bird called The Black Phoebe, Sayornis nigricans.
Behind the scenes
- Based on a statement of Horace Slughorn, Phoebe was possibly a member of the Slytherin house. However, she attended Hogwarts from 1821 to 1828, before Slughorn was even born.
- This character appears only on the version of the Black family tree shown in the film adaptation of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix. She was not included on the version of the tree which J. K. Rowling gave to a charity auction in 2006.[3] However, according to director David Yates, Rowling provided the filmmakers with a copy of the Black family tree going back eight generations.[4] The filmmakers presumably received a more complete version of the tree than the one auctioned off, which only goes back six generations.
- Charis Black's face is the very similar to Phoebe's in the films' tapestry. This is because moviemakers wanted to save time when they were making the tapestry. They also did the same thing with Elladora and Callidora's pictures.
- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (film) (Appears on Black family tree tapestry)
