Spain's Economy Minister Luis de Guindos has promised that no needy family will go homeless over mortgage arrears, responding to public fury at a homeowner's suicide as she was being evicted.
Facing accusations that politicians and banks are complicit in de facto "murder", Spain's banking association said its members would suspend eviction orders for two years for those borrowers worst hit by economic crisis and record unemployment.
Banks have repossessed close to 400,000 homes in Spain since a property bubble burst in 2008 and the nation subsequently sank into recession, throwing millions out of work and unable to keep up mortgage payments to the banks.
Last Friday's suicide of 53-year-old Amaia Egana has inflamed a public already angered by what they see as a lack of compassion among Spanish banks, many of which have benefited from taxpayer-funded bailouts organised by the political elite.
Egana, a former Socialist councillor in northern Spain, jumped to her death from her fourth-floor flat as bailiffs were trying to evict her under foreclosure laws.
Speaking in Brussels, de Guindos said action was vital to avoid evictions at a time when huge numbers of homes, built during a frenetic property boom before 2008, lie unoccupied.
"In Spain right now, we have nearly a million empty housing units. In this situation, the government and the economy ministry ... has to take steps so that no family in good faith goes without a home. This is our commitment," he said.
Public pressure prompted Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy to call for officials from his conservative People's Party and the opposition Socialists to speed up negotiations on reforming the eviction laws during talks on Monday.
Fans at a Primera Liga soccer match on Saturday protested about the fate of Egana, who killed herself in the Basque town of Barakaldo, and countless others who are losing their homes.
"They're not suicides. They're murders. The banks and politicians are accomplices. Stop the evictions!" read a banner held up by supporters of Rayo Vallecano, which plays in a working class district of Madrid.
Heads of the economy departments of both main parties were expected to look at the possibility of granting moratoriums on mortgage payments for families in dire straits and to change the legal proceedings that lead up to an eviction.
However, the Spanish Banking Association (AEB) said its members had already agreed with the government last week to suspend eviction cases for two years for those most in need.
This showed "...the commitment of the AEB's members, for humanitarian reasons and because of their social responsibility, to stop evictions during the next two years in those cases of extreme need", it said in a statement on Monday.
Protesters say this will not go far enough given thousands will face difficulties in the next few months.
Egana's death, and another eviction-related suicide in October, have intensified a popular backlash with many accusing the banks - some of which will receive part of an up to €100 billion European bailout - of callous disregard for the effects of unemployment, which has hit 25 percent.
However, a number of banks themselves are in dire straits because of the failure of many borrowers, ranging from small homeowners to major property developers, to repay their debts.
Overnight protesters gathered outside the People's Party headquarters in central Madrid before walking to parliament.
"We are due to be evicted on the 20th of this month, and we have nowhere to go but the street," said Angel Moran, a 59-year-old painter.
He said he had been out of work for four years, had a young daughter to support and the two other people living in his home to share the costs were now also without work.
As property prices have tumbled about 30 percent, hundreds of thousands of people who took on huge mortgages during the boom years now owe more than their home is worth.
Under Spanish law, even when borrowers turn over their homes to the bank, they still owe the entire amount of the mortgage.
A citizens' movement called "Stop Evictions" has organised protests at apartment buildings to block court workers from evicting families.
The pressure by Stop Evictions and other groups led the government to ask banks earlier this year to forgive mortgage debt for properties worth less than €200,000 and where all family members are unemployed.
A group of senior judges has pushed for a cross-party agreement on eviction reform, and a police union said it will support officers who refuse to take part in an eviction.
On Saturday, northern Spanish mortgage lender Kutxabank said it was suspending repossessions after the suicide of Egana.
Last week, European Union Advocate General Juliane Kokott issued a non-binding report concluding that Spanish legislation on evictions contradicts European norms for protecting consumer rights. Europe's highest court will rule on the issue.

text: George Zimmerman George Zimmerman Supporting Gun Shop That Bans Muslims By Catherine Welch of WMFE • Aug 18, 2015 George Zimmerman, the former neighborhood watch volunteer acquitted in the shooting death of unarmed teenager Trayvon Martin, has picked up a paintbrush to help a Florida gun shop owner who has banned Muslims from his store. Zimmerman is selling prints of his painting of the Confederate flag to benefit Florida Gun Supply of Inverness. Court: Defendants Face Burden in 'Stand Your Ground' Cases By Jim Saunders - News Service of Florida • Jul 10, 2015 In a case that started with a tourist brandishing a gun during a traffic dispute, the Florida Supreme Court on Thursday said people who use the state's controversial "stand your ground" legal defense have the burden of proving they should be shielded from prosecution. The 5-2 ruling dealt with a key part of the way the state has carried out the "stand your ground" law, which in part provides immunity to people who use justifiable force in self-defense. Trayvon Martin Foundation Plans Events To Honor Teenager By Marva Hinton • Feb 10, 2014 It's been nearly two years since Trayvon Martin of Miami Gardens was fatally shot while walking home in Sanford, Fla. This weekend a peace walk and a remembrance dinner are planned to celebrate the life of the teenager who would have turned 19 this month. The shooting that claimed his life, along with the subsequent trial and acquittal of the man who pulled the trigger, led to a nationwide discussion about Florida's self-defense Stand Your Ground law, and racial profiling. Florida House Dems Back Senate Tweaks of Stand Your Ground By News Service of Florida • Nov 6, 2013 Florida House Democrats met with reporters Wednesday to say they don't want to turn Thursday's Stand Your Ground hearing into a publicity stunt. The House Criminal Justice Subcommittee will take up a bill by Democratic state Representative Alan Williams. The measure would repeal the 2005 Florida law that says people don't have to retreat in a situation where they fear for their lives. No More Guns For Neighborhood Watch In Sanford, Fla. By Mark Memmott • Oct 31, 2013 The police chief in Sanford, Fla., where neighborhood watch volunteer George Zimmerman shot and killed teenager Trayvon Martin in February 2012, will unveil rules next week that stress "volunteers are not to carry guns and not to follow suspects," our colleagues at Orlando's WMFE report. Metrotown, Where Students Talk Openly About Race, Diversity By Patience Haggin • Aug 16, 2013 MetroTown Like at other summer camps, the young people who spent a week at MetroTown last month put on skits and competed in sports. But the purpose of MetroTown, unlike a typical recreational summer camp, is to teach students empathy. Students engaged in camp-wide discussions on race, diversity, gender, sexuality and religion. MetroTown, held July 21 to 26, is a sleepaway camp offered by the Miami Coalition of Christians and Jews and hosted by St. Thomas University in Miami Gardens. Bracing For A Boycott: How Scott's Defense Of 'Stand Your Ground' Could Hurt Florida By Rick Stone • Jul 22, 2013 Facebook The calls to boycott Florida grew louder and more widespread on Friday after Gov. Rick Scott reiterated his support for the broad self-defense law that was key to the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the Trayvon Martin case. Scott told demonstrators occupying the state capitol on Thursday that he will not submit the Stand Your Ground law to a special legislative session for revisions despite demands by activists, elected leaders and at least one prosecutor earlier in the day. How The Zimmerman Verdict Was Decided By Elaine Chen • Jul 19, 2013 Days after the jury's decision, South Florida – and the nation – still struggles to understand the acquittal of George Zimmerman in the killing of Trayvon Martin.

Fans across the country watched behind-the-scenes interviews and got a glimpse of the 2015 SEMA Show during the SEMA Battle of the Builders® premiere on the Velocity Network earlier this week.
The 2016 SEMA Show will be held Tuesday–Friday, November 1–4.
From the influence of Internet sales to the integration of new materials and advanced manufacturing processes, the tire and wheel industries remain in flux.
Debuting earlier this week, the new SEMA Battle of the Builders® TV program is generating a lot of buzz among both the industry and fans.
Held in conjunction with the recent 2015 SEMA Show, the annual Global Tire Expo (GTE)—Powered by the Tire Industry Association (TIA)—continued its reputation as a world-class show within a show, highlighting the tire niche's tremendous significance within the automotive specialty-equipment marketplace.
Replacing wheels can create an enormous change in the appearance of any vehicle, and properly selected wheels are also performance parts that reduce unsprung weight and improve handling. That's why the wheel segment continues to be among the most robust in the automotive specialty-equipment industry. Wheel builders continue to refine manufacturing techniques such as laser cutting for high-quality surface finishes and evolving designs that include deep concaves, mesh spokes and revolving caps.
In addition to co-presenting the annual Global Tire Expo (GTE)—Powered by the Tire Industry Association, the annual SEMA Show's New Products Showcase also features a tire category with product for passenger cars, trucks and off-roading as well as associated equipment such as tire-pressure monitoring sensors, tire changers, sealants and more. The following pages provide a look at the entries in the tire section of the Showcase, with dozens of introductions and innovations for tire dealers and businesses that offer tire-related products.
Member businesses tell us that finding qualified prospects to fill jobs is among their toughest challenges. Our members are seeking the next generation of workers—the people who will bring the kind of skills, energy and ideas that every business needs to grow and prosper.

PA Game Commission Releases 2012-13 Deer Harvest Estimates
HARRISBURG, Pa., March 25, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Pennsylvania Game Commission today reported that, in the state's 2012-13 seasons, hunters harvested an estimated 343,110 deer, which is an increase of about two percent from the previous seasons' harvest of 336,200. Hunters took 133,860 antlered deer in the 2012-13 seasons, an increase of about five percent from the previous license year's harvest of 127,540. Also, hunters harvested 209,250 antlerless deer in 2012-13, which is a slight increase over the 208,660 antlerless deer taken in 2011-12."This year's antlered deer harvest is slightly above the average harvest since 2005, when agency efforts began to stabilize deer populations in most of the state," said Carl G. Roe, Game Commission executive director. "The age structure of the antlered deer harvest was 49 percent 1.5 year-old-bucks and 51 percent 2.5-year-old and older bucks. "The antlerless hunter success rate remained at about 25 percent for licenses issued. This is on average with harvest success for recent years. The age structure of this year's antlerless deer harvest was 61 percent adult females, 22 percent button bucks, and 18 percent doe fawns. The rates are similar to long-term averages." Bureau of Wildlife Management personnel currently are working to develop 2013-14 antlerless deer license allocation recommendations for the April meeting of the Board of Game Commissioners. Calvin W. DuBrock, Game Commission Bureau of Wildlife Management director, said that in addition to harvest data, the staff will be looking at deer health measures, forest regeneration and deer-human conflicts for each WMU. Total deer harvest estimates by WMU for 2012-13 (with 2011-12 figures in parentheses) are as follows: WMU 1A: 6,100 (5,200) antlered, 11,900 (9,800) antlerless; WMU 1B: 7,000 (6,000) antlered, 11,100 (9,500) antlerless; WMU 2A: 6,700 (7,100) antlered, 12,700 (12,700) antlerless;

"Stop Explaining..."
I really wanted to like this. I wanted it to be a rip roaring space adventure-hopefully with some identifiable or with some luck, interesting characters. But not really....'Black Jack' Geary is not lovable, he's completely self obsessed, so you are always hearing him repeating lots of inner dialogue about 'woe is him'...because everyone worships him... We also hear,ad nauseum, how far away everything is in space and exactly what the time lag is for each and every maneuver. Sounds like he's describing a video game screen or trying to 'teach' us about what it would be like, really, to fight at faster than light speeds. These never ending reflections during 'battles' actually makes the fights strangely disjointed: They fire on the enemy and...now let's stop and remember, "they really fired this over 3 minutes ago because they are 3 light minutes away, so it's already happened....and Now -back to the action....
Didn't work for me- and I love good space opera, give me some Old Man's War, or some Larson over this any day.
"Flat and Feeble-minded Characters"
Anyone who enjoys being lectured endlessly about military regulations while fantasizing that they are an average minded adult in a universe full of toddlers.
No. I am a fan of this genre, but this author is the Terry Goodkind of this genre. The universe is completely derivative and the characters are so two dimensional and undeveloped that it is hard for the reader to care what happens to them.
Christian Rummel's narration made it possible for me to finish the book. If I had tried to read this as a paperback, I would have donated it about 1/3 of the way through.
The repetitive internal moralizing of the main character could have been cut down by 80% and been more effective. This would have freed up enormous amounts of space for the development of other characters.
Just don't do it.
I am an Australian woman who enjoys reading many different styles of books, from history to sci fi and mystery to poetry.
"A rollicking good ride"
This is a boys own adventure. It's good fun and well written with a good narrator. It is no great literature but I enjoyed it nonetheless. I bought the rest of the series based on the first listen. I hope they are just as good.
"I'm Hooked..."
I'm always leary about starting a new book that's a part of the a series. You have to go back to the beginning to understand some of the complexities of what's going on and that means that you don't read the book that's most current and about which people are talking. Well, I'm glad I started this series because the first book in it (Dauntless) has been great. One of the messages of this story is that just because something is old, that doesn't make it bad. In the case of this book, only John (Blackjack) Geary has the ability to see that his society has, to some degree, taken on the dispicable attributes of the enemy they have been fighting for 100 years. It appears that no one else can see this because they have a vision of the past that is distorted by myth and legend. Geary as a character shows his humanity and his abhorrence of the inaccurate legend that has come to reprepresent him. The book is about leadership that is ethical and humane as much as it is about cool and seemingly well-research science. A great read.
74 y o avid reader using either my eyes or ears. I make earrings that I donate to shelters and while I work, I listen to wonderful books
"Am I glad I bought this!!!"
I bought this "first of a series" on sale and wow, am I glad I did. I am a voracious reader and this was one of the best sci-fi reads I've enjoyed in a long time. A large cast of believable characters with problems to solve and creative solutions to them. Good good-guys and not-so-good good-guys.
I enjoyed this so much I've bought several more in the series. If you like programs like Star Trek, you'll really love these books.
What can I say with a story so action pacted. Super Narration,Super Story!! It is very rare to find a saga that stays with you long after you finished listening to it. If you are trying to deside what book to listen to, this is a MUST! All the books are great,every last one. I have over 700 books in my collection, and this saga is in the top 5!!! You must listen to all of them. You Won't be sorry!
big sky
"Boring story with flat narration"
I love a good war story, even a good fight in space, but this book is just dull. The storyline is flat, just a plain old good guys running from bad guys story. I kept waiting for more - a backstory, a twist, but it never came. And the main character is nearly one dimensional.
The narration is really poor. Female voices are high pitched and with a terrible sort of faux-British accent. It made them unaccessible and hard to differentiate.
Sadly, this is just not a good book - not worth the credit at all.
I value intelligent stories with characters I can relate to. I can appreciate good prose, but a captivating plot is way more important.
"Childish and unpolished"
I was shocked by how bad this book was, considering the incredibly good reviews it has received.
There is something incredibly amateurish about the way the plot unfolds. There is no nuance to be found anywhere. Here's the main character: he is unambiguously good. Here's the enemy: they are unambiguously evil. Here are all the other ship commanders: they are ALL UNBELIEVABLY stupid.
It felt as though the dialog was written by a high school student. There was no subtlety to be found anywhere. All the characters spoke like robots, and explained (and re-explained) every action or decision with mechanical precision. You kind of expect ever conversation to end with: "Okay, reader: did you get that? are you following?"
The only good thing I have to say about the book is that it was clever in its handling of time-dilation as it would relate to space battles. But this alone was not enough to save this train-wreck of a plot.
Don't waste your time or money on this book.
[spoilers below:]
The book is about a commander who has been given control of a fleet which is part of an army which, in the span of just 100 years has lost all institutional discipline... never mind that those traditions stretch back for millenniums, and that all of history shows us that even the most primitive armies thrive on discipline in the absence of any other tools.
Our commander quickly shows us that he's an idiot, as in the face of unforgivable insubordination, he fails to discipline the captains working under him. And we're told that this fleet is accustom to "loyalty purges"... so why the commander doesn't use that tool is a mystery.
I don't know anything about commanding an army, but it took me about 2 minutes to figure out that what he needed to do was execute some of his more insubordinate captains, and replace them with people who followed him out of blind hero worship. Unfortunately, the main character never learns this lesson, so he spends the entire book trying to play politics with his own fleet. As a result, he never gets to properly train them, and in battle they are so undisciplined that it actually costs lives and ships. And even after all this, the main character STILL doesn't rule with an iron fist- which is CLEARLY the ONLY thing that can save the fleet.
Tell us about yourself!
"Duty, honor and oh so much pride"
This is, without a doubt, one of my least favorite science fiction books. I am sorry, I feel bad saying it, but I honestly feel that this might in fact be ???the??? worst SF book the lot. Now, I???ve read a lot of bad books. I???ve even enjoyed a lot of bad books, but this really just rubbed me the wrong way. Tedious and predicable internal monologue; I could have been fine with it in some cartoonish way, but the seriousness with which this is presented gals me. The main character seems to be the only sane character in the galaxy. Sure, this is justified somewhat by the fact that the rest of the human race has spent the last hundred years fighting in a never ending war. But honestly, it still just doesn???t cut it. The sheer, and I shudder to even use the expression, cheesiness of not only the hero worship, but also the stupidity of others does not engender Black Jack Geary to me in the least.
This is another of those novels where instead of making the main character likeable though faults and obstacles and his overcoming these, the author has instead elected to make everyone else as inedible as possible. It is too simple, too cheap and much too little.
That the concept, the idea itself, behind the novel is decent in itself, even good, does not change these facts. The book is just poorly executed, poorly written and unfortunately also poorly read.
I can find a book to love in any genre -- a beautifully written classic, an interesting mystery or sci-fi, a trashy romance. Bring it!
"A hero with a sexy voice!"
STORY - (Space Travel SciFi) This is Book 1 of the Lost Fleet series. Alliance Fleet Captain Geary is a legendary hero who was believed dead but has been rescued from a 100-year hibernation in a rescue pod. Immediately he is thrown into commanding a fleet in the midst of war with the enemy Syndics (also humans), and at the same time he must learn technical capabilities of his new fleet and try to gain the respect of officers who feel his long absence has made him unfit for command. This book is basically setting the stage for the series, and it has some exciting spaceship battle engagements. Since the author has a Naval background, he writes a lot of detail about fleet formations and military tactics, which is very interesting but not hard to understand.
Geary is smart, likeable and (conveniently) talks to himself, so it's easy to follow his thoughts. The book ends at a nice stopping point, but there is a lot still ahead in this series. There are no alien creatures or mysterious occurrences in this story, but I'm expecting some in future episodes.
PERFORMANCE - Christian Rummel has the perfect voice for this type of book -- powerful, masculine (and did I say sexy?) He does a great job.
OVERALL - Recommended, especially if you enjoy military strategy and battle tactics.

How to Install Feet on a Cast Iron Clawfoot Tub
Second time aroundThis is the second time I've purchased this beautiful bathtub. I ordered it on Sunday night and it arrived on Friday morning. Signature Hardware does a flawless job with customer service and delivery. I'm so thrilled with the simple, old school design and the size is just perfect! Awesome deal, I highly recommend buying anything from this company, you will love their products!
FSBeautiful tub!! Free delivery and customer service was great!
The Perfect TubI grew up with a claw foot tub and have been looking for one for my new modern house. The Signature Hardware rep who I worked with was incredibly helpful and thoughtful and helped me tease out the differences from this big field of claw foot tubs. It arrived on time with all of the correct hardware. It looks absolutely wonderful in the sleek modern bathroom. It fits the space and two of us perfectly!
Love, love, love it!I had been looking at clawfoot tubs for about a year. I decided to call and ask questions about the ralston. Customer service was so friendly and helpful and give me the extra confidence that I needed to know I was making the right choice. I love it. It has a beautiful finish and fits the space perfectly. So happy!
Soak in heavenMy husband and I bought this tub for our weekend home because we wanted the traditional look and the size for both of us to soak together. We love the tub--it is beautiful and functional and better than a hot tub! Dealing with Signature Hardware was very positive experience. I would recommend this tub and company to anyone.
Awesome tubIt is always scary making a major purchase online sight unseen. I purchased this tub as part of a major bathroom renovation and it did not disappoint. It arrived on time with free shipping and the delivery man placed it right in my garage. My contractor uncrated it and installed it along with the telephone faucet I also purchased from Signature Hardware. It looks beautiful in my bathroom. It is definitely the focal point of the room. I love bathing in it because it is as comfortable as it is beautiful. I will never hesitate to make another major purchase from Signature Hardware again!

Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor,
Thank you for e-mailing the Linux Journal advertising rate card. I am not interested in advertising in the Linux Journal, for the following two reasons.
1. I believe the free software "formula" (give away the software, charge for services) only works if the software being given away generates a demand for services - i.e., if it is buggy, poorly documented, difficult to understand, hard to port, hard to modify or extend, etc., etc. In my experience, Linux is at least the first three of those things (details on request), but I believe my own software (which is given away free with the Linux distribution) is less so: In the last two years, since Ghost script reached commercial quality, I have received almost no requests for such services from the thousands of users on and off the Internet who might have been expected to want them. A lot of people do post questions and bug reports in the gnu.ghostscript.bug newsgroup, but I don't particularly care to have my time nibbled to death answering the same simple questions over and over again, even if I'm being paid for it, so I usually respond to them by including the answers in the documentation being prepared for the following release. (Once a FAQ gets established, I expect the volume to drop by about 80%.) And the news group also contains regular postings from people who have written new drivers or have ported Ghostscript to new environments with no help from me.
2. The people who embrace Linux are people who (a) don't have much money, and (b) are willing to live with a system that, outside its core functionality, is FAR below commercial quality. These are not the people who are going to become substantial customers of my business, which consists of licensing Ghostscript for commercial use at market-rate prices.
"I have gotten so frustrated I am now willing to switch to a commercial system". I just don't want to put up with the loss of time and productivity any longer. My one experience with pay-for-service was a waste. It may, of course, turn out that the commercial systems are no better; if so, I'll be coming back to Linux.
I am sure the Linux Journal will be valuable to people for whom the savings in up-front cost is more important than having a reliable, supported, productive system, but I don't count myself among them.
Sincerely,L. Peter Deutsch,Aladdin Enterprises
Reply from the Editor:
I wrote an article on Unix on a PC that appeared in the March, 1986, issue of Unix World and have used PC-based Unix systems for almost ten years. Until last year when I decided to "upgrade" some systems to Linux, my work was with products from major commercial vendors. I have found Linux to generally be a better operating system than those commercial products-better in terms of reliability and support.
I don't want to go through a blow by blow description of the problems I have had with commercial products, but let me say that newer commercial products have had more bugs than the older ones. In our office (where we run a network of Linux machines) we have encountered one operating system problem that causes us to have to reboot occasionally. This problem (a serial driver bug that causes ports to hang) is fixed in the current Linux release but we haven't upgraded yet. Note that this bug is virtually identical to a bug that I have been dealing with for four years in a commercial Unix system with a well-known intelligent communications board.
What's the difference? In the commercial system the vendors (the operating system vendor and the communications board vendor) both feel it is in their best interest to deny that a problem exists. The result for me, the user, is that four years later I still have to reboot the system about once a week. Because it is clearly in the best interest of the Linux community to fix all bugs, the existence of this problem was openly discussed and it was fixed very quickly.
This is not to say that Linux is always better than an alternative. But I don't think your experiences are typical of those of most people in the Linux community. Many commercial applications are getting ported to Linux with little or no difficulty-substantially much less difficulty than people were used to in porting to a system such as Xenix and generally much less difficulty than porting to any commercial Unix system.
I also think you are off base with who the average Linux user is. We see more and more people moving to Linux because it does the job for them. Many of these people are coming from MS-DOS because they need the multi-tasking capabilities and ability to seamlessly address memory. Others are using Linux-based computers to replace workstations and X-terminals.
But I feel that once you get more experience with the commercial alternatives to Linux and once Linux gets more experience with commercial users, you will find it is a product that has matured very quickly.Editor

In modern computer systems, privacy and security are mandatory. However, connections from the outside over public networks automatically imply risks. One easily available solution to avoid eavesdroppers' attempts is SSH. But, its wide adoption during the past 21 years has made it a target for attackers, so hardening your system properly is a must.
Additionally, in highly regulated markets, you must comply with specific operational requirements, proving that you conform to standards and even that you have included new mandatory authentication methods, such as two-factor authentication.

Leading Analyst Firm Gartner Recognizes Openwave Mobility in Their Prestigious Annual Selection of Cool Vendors
REDWOOD CITY, Calif - May 16, 2014 - Openwave Mobility, a software innovator enabling operators to manage and monetize mobile data, announced today that they have been listed as a 'Cool Vendor' by Gartner, Inc. in the report 'Cool Vendors in Communications Service Provider Operational and Business Infrastructure, 2014'[1].
The 'Cool Vendor' recognition is designated to organizations Gartner recognizes as fresh and innovative constituents in their respective markets.
Openwave Mobility's Promotion and Pricing Innovation (PPI), a mobile data monetization solution enabling operators to acutely target customized time-sensitive promotions and personalized data plans to subscribers. PPI also provides a real-time push notification system that alerts subscribers who are approaching data limits or entering areas where roaming charges apply. Instead of communicating with users by SMS, self-care applications, or alert emails, operators utilizing PPI are able to offer total real-time engagement, or 'Policy Engagement' using rich media, to consumers. PPI is available for deployment in-network or in the cloud and has been successfully deployed by multiple mobile operators, including C Spire, the largest privately owned wireless communications provider in the USA.
"Our inspiration for PPI stemmed from our desire to create a product mutually beneficial for both mobile operators and subscribers in the Policy Control and Charging space," said John Giere, CEO at Openwave Mobility. "Not only does PPI offer operators a mode of producing new revenue streams through ad-hoc, personalized data plans, but also gives subscribers total management control of their data usage. We believe that Gartner's recognition of PPI as a stand-out product underscores that Openwave Mobility is providing the right solutions to mobile operators to help them successfully manage and monetize the increase in network traffic."

The increasing popularity of the Internet of Things necessitates that our physical and cognitive relationship with wearable technology will change rapidly in the near future.

A critical component of any IoT project is the back-end systems that capture data from remote IoT devices and structure it in a way to answer useful questions. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle large data sets, but they are not well suited to many IoT-scale products and the need for real-time insights. At Fuze, we have developed a backend platform as part of our mobility-oriented cloud service that uses Big Data-based approache...

Shopaholic Crystal's (Amy Acker, Alias) wealthy parents give her an ultimatum: change her irresponsible ways by Christmas or they will cut her off without a cent. With no job or romantic prospects, what's a party girl to do?

Crystal tracks them down and vows to win over father and daughter before the fast-approaching holiday deadline. Volunteering at Derek's struggling soup kitchen, Crystal is at first a fish out of water, but she is determined to prove to him and herself that there's more to her than just shopping and lattes.

The Matchbox On a Mission: Crime Squad playset includes a bank, a police station, and a police vehicle. The car can drive around the playset and even drive into the bank to try and stop the bad guys. By pressing the yellow button at the police station, you can send the police car speeding down the track. The police station's garage also opens and closes for storing the vehicle. This set is expandable, so you can add other Matchbox track to build a larger city. Additional cars are also sold separately.
While there are some fun ways to play with this set on its own, it really makes a nice addition to larger Matchbox On a Mission playsets, giving kids even more ways to engage in imaginative play.
The Matchbox On a Mission: Crime Squad is for ages 3 and up.
Additional Matchbox On a Mission playsets are sold separately.

Mark Thoma over at The Economist's View last week wrote a short essay that was long on good sense. He commented on a Simon Johnson post that in turn thrashed a Chamber of Commerce attack on the proposed consumer protection agency as bad for small business. Knowing that tangled thread isn't really necessary to appreciate Thoma's little piece. His post, "Markets are Not Magic," works the middle ground between those who would dismantle markets as threats to civilization and those who would free them through deregulation. Thoma makes the eminent but not-heard-nearly-enough argument that intelligent regulation is necessary for markets to function properly and that well-ordered, sensibly supervised markets are marvelous mechanisms for allocating resources and creating wealth and efficiency.
Thoma is particularly good at drawing distinctions, many of which have been trampled in the stampede to free markets, then beaten to a pulp in the rush back to -- well, who knows what. "There is nothing special about markets per se -- they can perform very badly in some circumstances," he writes. "It is competitive markets that are magic, though even then we have to remember that markets have no concern whatsoever with equity, only efficiency, and sometimes equity can be an overriding concern." This is hardly a revelation, but it is a breath of fresh air. So is Thoma's recitation of the special conditions that must be present for markets "to work their magic efficiency," from full information being available to participants to the presence of enough buyers and sellers to the availability of free entry and exit.
Thoma's markets are not some part of nature, or some gift from God, but institutions designed by men to perform certain limited goals. They are not useful for everything, just as some measure of "efficiency" can't be beneficially applied to large swaths of human experience.
Thoma's post implies how relatively little attention markets themselves have received in the backwash of the crisis. So much of the commentary on the crisis focuses in on the banks, Wall Street or finance. Matt Taibbi blames Goldman, Sachs & Co. for everything. Any number of others pillory Ken Lewis, Dick Fuld, Alan Greenspan, Henry Paulson. Others blame bonuses, greed, malfeasance. There's some degree of equity and truth (though it varies) in all those charges: After all, individuals and institutions were responsible for stockpiling risky assets that eventually blew up -- or for allowing those assets to accumulate and pool. Beyond vague gestures about the demise of the efficient market hypothesis, there has been much less commentary on how these enormous, deep and often global markets grew, proliferated and made an expansionary, occasionally hegemonic, finance sector possible. True, Lord Turner's proposal for a Tobin tax on financial transactions might have effectively put some markets on a diet, depending on the market and the tax bite. But after a few weeks of discussion, that kind of remedy seems to be going nowhere, and there are few proposed rules and regulations, with the exception of moving OTC derivatives to exchanges and clearinghouses, that would roll back the proliferation and ubiquity of any financial markets, particularly of the more speculative variety.
Put it another way: For all the damage from the crisis, the exposure of ordinary folks -- Main Streeters -- to the financial markets looks to remain at best unchanged and at worst more extensive than when the crisis began. The crisis has further weakened an already fading defined benefit pension system, further entrenched (despite the huge losses) defined contribution plans. Health care reform, as Thoma suggests, involves a variety of market mechanisms. And the response to volatile markets is not plain-vanilla financial products, but more complex products that use market mechanisms to cope with uncertainty. Under some conditions, plain vanilla can be as ugly as adjustable-rate mortgages.
Thoma's careful delineation of conditions for optimal markets raises other questions, not just for regulators but also for politicians and policymakers. In what circumstances can these conditions be met? Where is the functional line between, say, equity and efficiency? Who should play in these markets and who should be protected from them? Does the notion of a level playing field make sense in these deep, risky, complex markets? How do such pervasive markets reshape the economy and our politics?
Right now, these are not burning questions, which suggests that we are sidestepping anything that threatens to limit, undermine or significantly change our markets, and our relationship to these markets. It's a lot like the investing world after the hammering absorbed by the efficient market hypothesis. Investors may no longer put their full faith and credit into rational markets, but, given no practical alternatives, they continue to invest as if nothing had changed. Markets, market efficiency and the primacy of economics over all other considerations seems to have absorbed so much intellectual oxygen over the past few decades that we literally can't imagine an alternative. That may change, but it will be slow and probably painful. Meanwhile, we depend on folks like Thoma to at least remind us what markets can and cannot do.

3 thoughts on "Jon hearts Johnny"
I don't think money is the problem – Damon wants 3000 hits and he needs the playing time. Don't know if NYY is willing to give that to him.
I disagree, Hannah. I do think it's money. But I also think the Yankees have bunched up undies about Damon too.
I love on Heyman's site, under "Current Status," he has himself listed as: "Superstar." Rich. And Ibanez is a better fielder than Damon? Uh..no.
I'm for giving Branyon a shot. It's not like any other candidate is all that great. Take a shot on The Muscle.

I'm using jquery for a spy effect, and use GetResponse for email signups.
If I implement my GetResponse script, it breaks the area later in the page which depends on the jquery script. Pull the GetResponse script and it works just fine.
Problem is, I need them both. ;)
The trick, I suppose, is that the GetResponse script is actually another Jquery script, so it's getting called twice...
Any help?
The site is http://djubi.com/testserver Check out (urlabove)/nogetresponsescript.php to see it work without the GetResponse script. You should be able to see all the source just fine.

Backstage News on the CM Punk Situation, More on Fans Hijacking NXT Tapings, WWE Classics
by Amish Patel - January 31, 2014
– Today is the last day that WWE's Classics On Demand service will run.
– It's worth noting that Triple H did not make an appearance in front of the rowdy crowd at last night's WWE NXT TV tapings at Full Sail University. Regarding the CM Punk chants that we reported on last night, one fan wrote to us and described it as one of the most disrespectful things they have ever seen from a wrestling crowd. Fans were chanting for Punk during other wrestler entrances and during their matches. Another fan said it had to be a nerve-wracking night for WWE officials because of the Punk fans.
– Regarding Punk's status with WWE, several sources reiterate that this is not part of some big storyline. It's always possible that Punk and WWE officials will come to terms and the whole thing could played off as an angle but as of right now, that is not the case at all.
