Solving unpredictable video and data demand with 'elastic', surgical, cloud-based optimization platform
Mountain View, California, US, Wednesday, 23rd January 2013 - Skyfire, a leader in mobile video optimization and cloud solutions for mobility, today announced the launch of its enhanced video and data optimization platform for operators - Rocket Optimizer 3.0. In this release, Skyfire is offering four key new features, all contributing significantly to video and data optimization efficiency and end user experience.
As demand for mobile video soars, erratic surges in mobile data volume are a reality for operators. An 'elastic' approach is needed, where network capacity can expand and contract in line with active demand without adversely affecting the end user experience. Skyfire's Rocket Optimizer, which already provides operators with a 60% boost in bandwidth capacity across smartphones, tablets and PCs, is announcing the addition of these new features in Rocket Optimizer 3.0:
Measurement of bandwidth conditions in real time for every subscriber session on the operator network using Quality of Experience (QoE) Assurance, with instant and adaptive video optimization applied based on each individual user's real-time quality of experience.
A flexible, elastic CloudBurst Architecture that allows for instant expansion of optimization capacity to the carrier or public clouds
Enhanced optimization algorithms for the MP4 and H.264 video standards
CloudCache - a cloud-based caching solution that brings significant reductions in operator server, peering and IP transit costs
"Snowballing mobile video usage and unpredictable traffic patterns are wreaking havoc in operator networks," said Jeff Glueck, CEO of Skyfire. "Given the predictable rise in mobile video, but the unpredictability of its usage patterns, cloud-based optimization represents the ideal solution to meet mobile video demand and the optimization of the subscriber experience. With Rocket Optimizer 3.0, we are helping operators scale their networks to meet mobile video traffic demand and ensure that optimized video delivery is smoother and higher quality than ever before."
Real-time Quality of Experience (QoE) Assurance: For the first time, wireless operators can measure and instantly manage session-level quality of experience, without the need to deploy an in-line appliance or RAN probe. Skyfire software can now measure bandwidth conditions in real time for all subscriber sessions on a network, and detect when a user on a poor connection is trying to stream high-quality video that will likely result in a frustrating experience. This measurement can now automatically invoke Skyfire's cloud-based Rocket Optimizer cluster to adapt that video to fit existing capacity - taking into account RF, backhaul and spectrum bottlenecks. The end result is an insurance policy that ensures better QoE for users on crowded towers, inside buildings or at the edge of cells, as well as a solution that can "rescue" users from frustrating stalls, long video start times, and other annoyances.
CloudBurst Architecture: Rocket Optimizer 3.0 is a virtualized platform compatible with carrier cloud initiatives, and now allows operators to instantly expand optimization capacity to handle planned or unplanned spikes in network traffic. Additional optimization can be turned up in seconds as needed in the cloud - whether the carrier's cloud or public clouds like Amazon EC2 - doubling or tripling capacity with the touch of a button. Only Skyfire's flexible CloudBurst architecture allows for dynamic bandwidth elasticity that can stretch to sustain quality service delivery.
MP4 and H.264 Optimization: Skyfire, who pioneered the real-time optimization of MP4 video, the most prevalent standard for video delivery, also includes its third-generation algorithm in Rocket Optimizer 3.0 to bring a 30% lower bitrate to MP4 and H.264 video traffic, with zero degradation in viewing quality versus that achieved by the previous version of Rocket Optimizer. As smartphones and tablets ship with higher-resolution screens, and HD video becomes more prevalent, Skyfire has responded by ensuring that optimized video delivery is more smooth and higher quality than ever before.
CloudCache: Rocket Optimizer 3.0 also adds the ability to transparently cache video and large images in the cloud the very first time they are optimized, which reduces the number of servers required in the cloud or data center, as well as an operator's peering and IP transit costs. CloudCache pools available storage across Rocket Optimizer servers providing a multi-terabyte cache with zero incremental hardware cost. Rocket Optimizer's policy engine provides wireless operators with total flexibility to set their caching policies to provide maximum benefit across their operations.
"What Skyfire is delivering with Rocket Optimizer 3.0 maps directly to the demands we are hearing from mobile operators to deliver mobile video Quality of Experience (QoE) with a solution that scales rapidly and cost effectively, manages unpredictable peaks, and increases video delivery to multiple devices without requiring additional network capacity", noted Susan Welsh de Grimaldo, Director Mobile Broadband Opportunities at Strategy Analytics. She added "This year mobile operators are extremely focused on improving QoE to reduce churn, improve customer satisfaction and monetize video traffic. As operators move to cloud-based virtualized network solutions, Skyfire meets both their customer-facing and network requirements."

in response to lre1216Try holding down the Shift key in Windows when opening iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in C:\Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (or C:\Username\Music\iTunes\ in Vista). Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file
If that doesn't work.
1). Connect your iPod to your computer. When you get the message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod2PC Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
YamiPod Mac and Windows
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
Floola Mac & Windows
iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

If Congress fails to allow an additional $5 billion in funding, does this mean Fannie will default on honoring it's "agency backing" of AGNC's mortgage portfolio? Doen't this relegate the quality of AGNC's mortgage assets to a much lower level, say such as Chimera, who experienced a huge haircut even before the debt-ceiling malaise affected the broad market?I exited my position in NLY and AGNC a few weeks ago and would like to re-enter, but this issue is really scary!The U.S. Congress can't seem to agree to anything that involves additional funding, as evidenced by Boehner's comments on the downgrade, yesterday, Kantors comments when he appeared on CNBC Friday morning or Michelle Bachmann's diatribe in a phone interview with Fox News, yesterday.http://www.newsdaily.com/stories/tre7742h1-us-fanniemae/Thoughts, anyone?

The first vehicle was found when a city worker spotted a suspicious looking vehicle Jan. 10 parked on Rolling Lane in Horseshoe Bend. He notified authorities who discovered the vehicle had been reported stolen in Mountain Home.
Horseshoe Bend Police Officer Mark Boles recovered the missing PT Cruiser that was stolen from owners Angela and Terry Nance of Gepp Jan. 8. Lt. Sam Ray said the victim's belongings were intact in the vehicle and there was no damage to the car. Ray said apparently the suspect drove the vehicle until it was almost out of gasoline and abandoned it.
Interviews with neighbors confirmed the vehicle had been sitting for two days in the mobile home section of Horseshoe Bend.
Ray notified detective Edward Griffin of the Mountain Home Police Department about the recovered vehicle. The PT Cruiser was released to a family member after Griffin processed the vehicle.
The day after the PT Cruiser was recovered a 1987 Chevrolet Astro Van was reported stolen from the 1200 block of the Mobile Home Estates in Horseshoe Bend.
Amy Sheppard reported the stolen vehicle to the Horseshoe Bend Police Department and told authorities she was visiting a friend and left the keys in her vehicle at the time it was taken. Sheppard told authorities she discovered the missing vehicle when her husband went to get her purse out of the van around 9:30 p.m.
The van was recovered by the Mountain Home Police Department the following day. Ray said Sheppard's vehicle was not damaged and her belongings were found in the vehicle unharmed.
The investigation is ongoing in both cases, but Ray said he will be questioning a suspect in both thefts.

Transocean new contracts totaling $4.7 billion were secured in the Fleet Status Report periods April 18, 2012 through July 18, 2012. Backlog at July 18th was $22.9 billion, a net increase of $2.3 billion. Since July 18, 2012, additional contracts totaling $144 million were secured; RIG beats by $0.27, report Q2.
Yes, and the $1 Billion will go straight into the pockets of:
1.) Attorneys
2.) The U.S. Govt.
3.) The State of Louisiana
Shareholders will not see a penny!
pretty good cc
lower out of service dates
pretty sure on the sale of 30 rigs
lower maitenance cost going forward
1 billion cash influx to the books
day rates back logs increasing
looks pretty good from here gasman
SAeen this headline from teh CC gasman
Transocean confident it will achieve $500M-$1B in asset sale proceeds in 2012
sure glad I own RIG and not SDRL today gasman
RIG up .75
SDRL down .25
Just saying
I am not short, but will get back in lower than my sell price yesterday. Wasnt sticking around for earnings. Its up 37 cents as I type. Still think its going to $55 today as the pumpers claim??? You call me a basher, what is you definition of a pumper? There are quite a few here today. Never heard you call out a pumper. I just trade it. Its far better than holding it.
All shorts can do is bashing and try hard to scare the folks ..... I am sure this stock will be 50 this week and it is unfortunate that this caught in ECB games but qtr results are good and I am sure as we go to next qtr and long term this will back to 60 ....but we have long way to go to get there
RIG is not ready to go up. You can see that in respect to the other drillers. Also, it will encounter fierce resistance just under $51. I am selling calls today, already loaded 10...will add throughout the day.
I wish it comes true and from your comment on this board to God's ear ....... But reality will hit ..... I think this will above 55 in next 1 week for sure but let us what they say in conference call ..... I am new investor to this stock but thanks to some of the best long time holder on this message board , I hold on my selling and I AM GLAD and thankful being I am very close to my recover cost target of 55 ............... THANKS again Douglas for great advise
I think we'll be above $55 today. RIG beat by 60%. Transocean will see $62.50 before next Friday, which is a 30% increase over Wednesday's close, easy.

Cookin' with The Columns: A great snack for a road trip
Our family has always loved to travel and we have been lots of places in the US and in Europe. One time when Heather and Jonathan were little kids, we went to St. Louis on vacation. There are lots of free or inexpensive things to see and do there. In fact, they never realized that there was a Six Flags in St. Louis because we found so many other fun places to visit. One of our favorite places was Purina Farms. It was such a hands-on facility with cows to milk and horses to feed and dog and cat shows. They loved it! Last week I made "puppy chow" which is one of our favorite snacks. When I went to the store to buy the ingredients, it took me longer than usual to get what I needed. When I finally got back home, Charles asked me if I had gone all the way to Purina Farms to get the ingredients! So now you too can make your own puppy chow. It's a delicious snack that is always fun at a party because it looks a lot like the real thing.

Dickens had a genuine and long-standing concern for the condition of the industrial working class, but when he came to write Hard Times, a novel that makes that subject its main concern, his imaginative powers failed him. His general view of society and the relations between social classes enfeebled the book's plot and characterisation. That's not to say that it doesn't contain scenes of deliciously merciless satire, but it does strike me as being the weakest of the novels that I have encountered so far in this project to re-read, or read for the first time, all of Dickens's works.

Tim Dee's Four Fields: 'Without fields – no us. Without us – no fields.'
Tim Dee is a BBC radio producer and a very fine writer. His first book The Running Sky was a superb meditation not just on bird-watching, but on life. Last month I read his latest book Four Fields, in which Dee's subject is, broadly, the way in which humans across the planet have shaped the landscape through cultivation. Succinctly summing up the idea that lends unity to his book, Dee writes:
Without fields – no us. Without us – no fields.

Berlin: books that created the city that haunts our imagination
All cities are geological. You can't take three steps without encountering ghosts.
– Ivan Chtcheglov
When people of my generation travel to Berlin they arrive with their heads stuffed already with images of the city soaked up from decades of newspaper and newsreel coverage and from books – both non-fiction and a plethora of spy fiction and novels that have created the city that haunts our imagination.
This summer we spent a few days in Berlin, and before we left I read a few books either about or set in the city, revisiting some old favourites and catching up on some more recently published works. Here then is a quick survey of some of the books that allowed me to walk the streets of Berlin before I even went there.

Rising Ground: searching for the spirit of place
The genesis of Philip Marsden's latest book, Rising Ground, was his acquisition of an old, decaying and overgrown Cornish farmhouse. It is subtitled 'A Search for the Spirit of Place', and a few pages in, Marsden explains how, after writing a series of books cataloguing journeys he had made to distant lands he came to write one which follows him as he sets out on foot from his new home.

Two novels by Jenny Erpenbeck

Representations of the Holocaust: stage, screen and text
To forget the dead would be akin to killing them a second time.
― Elie Wiesel, Night
Human suffering anywhere concerns men and women everywhere.
― Elie Wiesel, Night
Two very different representations of the Holocaust seen in the last 48 hours are the subject of this post. The first is the stage adaptation by Children's Touring Partnership of Irish novelist John Boyne's 'fable' for younger readers, The Boy In The Striped Pyjamas, set in Auschwitz; the second a documentary film, Night Will Fall, about the army photographers who filmed the horrific scenes revealed when British forces entered the concentration camp at Bergen-Belsen.

Austerity Britain: the way we were
I've embarked upon the history of my time. David Kynaston's Austerity Britain is the first in a planned history of post-war Britain that begins on VE Day in 1945 and will finally close in 1979 with the election of Margaret Thatcher. I was born in 1948, so Kynaston's remarkable project almost exactly mirrors the years of my birth, schooling, university student life, and entry into the workforce as a college teacher in the 1970s. Kynaston is a contemporary, born in 1951, the year in which this first volume ends.
Reading Austerity Britain is quite different to reading more conventional histories of a particular period. Although Kynaston deals with the full range of topics you might expect from a social or political history, he is less concerned with the political manoeuvrings between or within parties than with trying to capture the feel of daily life as experienced by individuals of all social classes, drawing upon sources, many of which give voice to the anonymous majority who go unrecorded by the histories. Continue reading "Austerity Britain: the way we were"

Memorial service: 2 p.m. Friday at Meadowbrook United Methodist Church, 3900 Meadowbrook, Fort Worth.
For over 20 years, a personable young man, armed with a handful of artist's pens, stepped before Channel 5 color cameras in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to draw his way into the hearts of young and old.
His interest in cartooning began when he was barely big enough to hold a crayon.
Johnny Hay was born July 11, 1919, in Burleson, to Charles Leroy and Ruby Pearl Hay. He was the eldest of two sons.
Johnny graduated from Burleson High School in 1938 and because of his artistic gifts, was soon hired by Consolidated Vultee in California as a aircraft designer. He was transferred to Fort Worth in 1941 to open the new Consolidated facility.
Johnny and his wife of 63 years lived in beautiful Pecan Plantation in Granbury. He married Myranelle Gillis in 1942 and, shortly thereafter, joined the Air Force to serve his country in World War II, trained as a pilot. He served until the war ended in 1945.
Afterward, John created his own cartoon advertising company, as well as working with a cartoon syndicate in Dallas.
John was a pioneer in television, being hired by WBAP in 1948. He had many roles including artist, producer, director and on-air personality, having his own show.
Starting out as a floorman, John soon moved onto his own television show called "Cartoon Time." Other shows that followed were "See Saw Zoo," "Tricks & Treats," "Hey, Johnny Hay," "Clutch Cargo," and "The Children's Hour," which ran for almost 14 years.
Johnny's special brand of sincerity and humor, coupled with his joy of cartooning, made him one of the most beloved entertainers in WBAP-TV's history.
Johnny's 21-year career came to an end, following a series of heart attacks that finally required triple by-pass heart surgery.
Retirement did not suit Johnny, so in 1973 he syndicated a cartoon strip, "Arty," that ran in the Star-Telegram, the Dallas Times Herald, the Houston Post, The Austin American-Statesman and others, as well as in 5 newspapers in Europe and Australia.
John was also a man of many talents, he enjoyed architecture, home building and land development.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and a brother, Bob Hay.
Survivors: His wife, Myranelle; son, Ron Hay and wife, Sondra; daughter, Bonnie Lamar and husband, James; grandsons, Bryan Keeton and wife, Melissa and Matthew Hay; numerous nieces and nephews; and countless friends.

Phil Mendelson Moves To Reform DYRS: Loose Lips Daily
As much local politics as humanly possible. Send your tips, releases, stories, events, etc. to firstname.lastname@example.com. And get LL Daily sent straight to your inbox every morning!
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT—"Linda Greene Resigns From Orange Campaign," "Summer Jobs Program Begins With Knives, Thefts"
Good Morning. Finally, someone has stepped up on one of the city's biggest issues. Councilmember Phil Mendelson has taken a big step in attempting to reform the troubled DYRS. He at least has proposed making some juvenile cases a lot more transparent. WaPo's Henri Cauvin reports: "Council member Phil Mendelson (D-At Large), chairman of the public safety committee, is set to propose legislation this week that would make public the identity of any juvenile offender after a second serious crime. It would be a radical shift for a juvenile justice system grounded in rehabilitation, and it comes as Mayor Adrian M. Fenty (D), Mendelson and others city leaders face election-year criticism over their handling of juvenile crime. Under Mendelson's proposal, after a juvenile is found involved in a second serious offense, the case — and all of the juvenile's previous arrests in the District — would become public. The list of qualifying 'serious' or 'dangerous' offenses is long, including assault, arson, robbery, sexual abuse and murder. The public record would include the charges filed by police and by prosecutors, and the disposition, including whether the juvenile was placed on probation with D.C. Superior Court Social Services or committed to the custody of the D.C. Department of Youth Rehabilitation Services. 'It's about the community being able to get some information and the responsible government agencies having to answer for their actions,' Mendelson said." LL hopes that Mendo will add a clause which mandates throwing a little sunshine on the agency's own dealings. The public also has a right to know just how DYRS lets kids slip through the cracks. But LL is reserving judgment until he reads Colby King's take on the councilmember's proposal.
NICKLES VS. GRAY: The talk of among the local political nerds yesterday centered on AG Peter Nickles, aka Adrian Fenty's Troll Doll, declaring war on mayoral hopeful Vincent Gray during an interview with NewsTalk's Bruce DePuyt. He not only slammed Gray's tenure as head of DHS, but used the man's theme song to taunt him: "And so, this is a very important election. And I say, 'Let's get it on.' I say, 'Let's look at the record that the Fenty administration has had in the last three years, in these agencies, and what happened in 1991-1995. And keep in mind, as a result of those years, all of these agencies — CFSA, dealing with abused and neglected kids; Department of Mental Health, dealing with St. Elizabeth's and mentally-ill folks; DDS, mentally-retarded individuals, disabled individuals; DYRS, criminal justice — in all of those agencies, as a result of what the court was seeing in that administration, all the personnel, all the procurement powers of DHS were taken away from DHS, and each of those agencies was made a cabinet-level department with independent powers." Not that Nickles has had such a great track record managing the CFSA case, among others [see this must read on Nickles' federal court track record]. But anyway, can Gray please make Nickles a campaign issue?
WaPo's Mike DeBonis has the Gray campaign's response to Nickles turn as Fenty campaign flack: "Gray campaign spokeswoman Traci Hughes raised questions about whether it was appropriate for Nickles to address such a politically fraught issue. 'The last time I checked it was the attorney general's role to serve District residents and not to carry out Mayor Fenty's political attacks,' Hughes said Monday afternoon. She accused Nickles of 'campaigning effectively while he's on the clock' — a potential violation of legal restrictions on the political activities of government employees. Nickles defended his comments in part by saying he was "speaking out as a citizen" who had been involved in DHS cases.
AFTER THE JUMP—Judge to announce verdict in Wone case today, Fenty skips education debate, Fenty's inner circle questions whether the mayor even wants to win, a death on the Red Line, and more.
FENTY SKIPS OUT ON DEBATE: Mayor Fenty skipped out on yesterday's debate on education issues w/ Vincent Gray, what organizers had been calling the "Great Education Forum." WaPo's Nikita Stewart and Bill Turque report: "When Fenty failed to appear, organizers went to a town hall-style format that allowed Gray to engage the 100 or so audience members, who appeared to be mostly educators in their 20s and 30s. 'I'm delighted to be here, not necessarily delighted to be here by myself,' Gray said at the Naval Heritage Center in an apparent reference to Fenty. At the outset, Gray took a dig or two at Fenty, saying that the mayor might be in the lobby so 'he can pick up a few pointers.' Word from the Fenty campaign Monday was that the mayor had never "confirmed" that he would participate but that schedulers were prepping him while trying to come up with an alternative date. Campaign sources said that Fenty was obligated to attend other 'private campaign functions.' The group that organized the debate, the D.C. chapter of Young Education Professionals, told a different story about the event, which was announced June 8. The Fenty campaign did not contact the group to pull out until Sunday evening, said Kate Blosveren, the group's president. Gray was left with the floor to himself. As expected, he faulted Fenty and Rhee for a lack of transparency in their dealings with parents and other community stakeholders. 'I'd use the word opaque to describe how some of the decisions were made,' he said. 'The word 'public' in public education needs to be taken seriously.'" More coverage via DCist.
The Examiner's Bill Myers has people within the Fenty camp wondering if the mayor even wants to win reelection: "Mayor Adrian Fenty begged off a key education reform debate on Monday and some in his inner circle are privately wondering if he's as committed to retaining his office as he was to winning it....Longtime aides to Fenty say privately that the mounting criticism and stress of the campaign have made the mayor even more resistant to advice than usual. He has had to dip into his multimillion-dollar campaign funds to pay street workers, instead of mustering an army of volunteers to help him canvass, like in' 06."
SUMMER JOBS: WUSA's Bruce Johnson chronicles the chaos that was the first day of the mayor's summer jobs program–800 kids had to be turned away from a job site, three other kids are in deep trouble over knives and stolen goods at another site. More coverage via Fox5.
WONE VERDICT TODAY: After four years, one of the most closely covered murder mysteries in recent District history may finally come to some resolution. The Examiner reports: "Tuesday, one piece of the puzzle will get an answer: Did Joseph Price, Dylan Ward and Victor Zaborsky conspire to cover up the slaying? D.C. Superior Court Judge Lynn Leibovitz is set to rule Tuesday in the trial of the three men, accused of cleaning up the crime scene and misdirecting police after Wone's Aug. 2, 2006, death in their Dupont Circle town house. Wone was spending the night in their home at 1509 Swann St. NW when he was stabbed three times in the chest. The defendants maintain that an intruder killed Wone. Leibovitz has heard five weeks of testimony from dozens of witnesses. The defendants waived their right to a jury trial, making Leibovitz the sole arbitrator. All three men face charges of conspiracy and obstruction of justice. Ward, 40, and Zaborsky, 44, were acquitted of tampering with evidence, but that charge still stands against Price, 39. All three could face more than 30 years in prison if convicted." More coverage via Whomurderedrobertwone.com.
DISTRICT REVENUES: The city's CFO reports some not totally bad news on the revenue front, reports WBJ's Michael Neibauer: "The parade of bleak revenue estimates from D.C. Chief Financial Officer Natwar Gandhi may have come to an end. The latest, released today, suggests no change from his February projection. This is good news. Not 'windfall' good, but good nevertheless. 'There are signs that both the U.S. and District economies are in recovery, but every indication is that the recovery is likely to be long and slow,' Gandhi wrote in a letter to Mayor Adrian Fenty and D.C. Council Chairman Vincent Gray. The estimate is a mixed bag of economic news. Individual income and sales taxes came in lower than expected, Gandhi said, but real property tax collections were better than anticipated and withholding collections have picked up. In the quarter ending in March, occupied office space rose 0.8 percent from the prior quarter and 1.8 percent from the prior year."
SUPREME COURT GUN CASE: You wanna know the impact of Heller v. D.C.? WaPo's Mike DeBonis says yesterday's Supreme Court decision is only the beginning: "The Supreme Court ruling Monday in McDonald v. City of Chicago places the District of Columbia at the vanguard of answering a new and crucial question: Just what kinds of gun regulations are constitutional in the United States? The McDonald decision has its roots, of course, in Heller v. District of Columbia, decided two years ago by the same 5-4 margin. That ruling struck down the city's blanket handgun ban after finding a constitutional 'right of law-abiding, responsible citizens to use arms in defense of hearth and home.' The court Monday, in holding that the Heller standard applies to state and local law, did not significantly modify it."
PARKING METERS: NC8 reports District residents are unsatisfied with meter replacements.
DEATH AT RED LINE STOP: A man was found dead on the tracks yesterday evening at the Grosvenor-Strathmore station, WTOP reports. More coverage via NBC4 . The Examiner's Kytja Weir reports: "A man was killed Monday evening when he jumped from a Metro station mezzanine onto the rail tracks, causing major delays on the Red Line during the peak of the evening commute and trapping riders on a train in 90-plus degree heat without air conditioning. The death occurred about 6:10 p.m. at the Grosvenor station, Metro spokeswoman Lisa Farbstein said. Preliminary reports indicate the man jumped from the upper platform onto the tracks, she said. The unidentified man was not hit by a train, she said, but died at the scene. The transit agency then needed to shut down power to that section of tracks for safety, she said, which in turn eliminated electricity to a train coming through the station. That shut off the air conditioning inside the train, angering the riders on the loaded train, who threatened to self-evacuate, she said. They were eventually taken into a rescue train. Metro had to close the station and turn back other trains, later reopening to allow trains to share a single track. The agency offered free shuttle buses to riders, but commuters faced significant delays because buses hold far fewer riders than trains."
MORE EVIDENCE THAT FENTY LOVES GO-GO: WaPo's Nikita Stewart captures Fenty celebrating his love of our homegrown sound.
MAYOR'S SCHEDULE: No public events.
D.C. COUNCIL'S SCHEDULE: Lots of Wilson Building activities including hearings on public safety and parks and rec.

Alleged engineering sketches show Apple's iPhone 5 with edge-to-edge screenNew pictures claimed to be "mold engineering drawings" of Apple's anticipated iPhone 5 shows the alleged next-generation handset with the same form factor as the iPhone 4, but with a slightly larger edge-to-edge display.
The images from iDealsChina are rumored to be used by engineers to create cases to sell for the iPhone 5. Of late, third-party cases for devices like the iPhone and iPad have offered hints at the design of unannounced products.
"A while back we [heard] rumors that [the] iPhone 5 would have a curved back," the site reads, "but these images show iPhone 5 with the same form factor as iPhone 4 but with an edge to edge screen."
The rest of the case shows the design of the alleged iPhone 5 largely unchanged from the iPhone 4. If accurate, that would dispel a recent rumor that Apple plans to ditch the glass back and opt for an aluminum backing.
The designs also support a separate rumor from the Far East that Apple will expand the screen size of its next-generation handset. While the iPhone 4 sports a 3.5-inch display with a resolution of 960 by 640 pixels, some designs have shown a potential 4-inch screen squeezed onto an iPhone with the same size.

Skinwalker, Volume 1
Oni Press, Mar 1, 2003 - Comics & Graphic Novels - 120 pages
Something has gone wrong in the American desert. An FBI agent has turned up dead, presumably skinned alive, and Officer Anne Adakai of the Reservation Police belives that the killer has stolen the agent's identity and is now inhabiting his skin. Greg Haworth has been sent by the FBI to find his lost colleague, and as more bodies and empty skins litter the killer's trail across the country, he realizes Adakai may be right. Now the question becomes--how do you stop a crook who can take any face, be anyone, and never be the same person twice?
