One year ago today I was blogless, and Chris Kromm had invited me to guest blog at Facing South for a week while he was on vacation. Needless to say, there was a pretty big story breaking on my first day. To commemorate the one-year anniversary of Katrina, here is a Facing South flashback to that week.
An excerpt from Day 3:
We're watching the reports from the Gulf Coast and New Orleans. I am unable to process, much less describe, the magnitude of what we are seeing. Not much else seems very important today.
As the personal accounts start coming in, we begin to get an idea of the terrifying ordeal those who could not or would not leave have endured.
Seeing someone with the remains of a loved one they can't even bury, wrapped in sheets, waiting by a flooded road for someone to tell them what to do with the body...
...hearing the first-hand account of a man who was stranded with his family on the roof of their home, holding on tightly to his wife's hand, watching the storm surge approach, his wife saying "You can't hold on to me, take care of the children and the grandchildren…" as she lets go and is swept away along with their home and all their belongings...
...watching entire families plucked from the rooftops of submerged houses, reeled into helicopters one by one...
...watching families and children and the elderly and infirmed being pulled into boats through holes chopped into their roofs and attics, embracing their rescuers, thanking them for saving their lives and the lives of their families...
...seeing families wading in chest deep water, what few belongings they could save floating alongside in plastic trash bags...
...search and rescue teams marking homes and structures where bodies are found with a red 'X', leaving them and moving on to the next structure, hoping to find survivors...
It's almost more than one can bear to watch, and impossible to comprehend. Being there and living through it, or dying in it, is unimaginable.
No food. No water. No power. No medical supplies or assistance. No sanitary facilities. No communications. No roads in or out. No infrastructure. No shelter. And seemingly no hope. This is the situation this morning for New Orleans and most of the Mississippi Gulf Coast. This is human tragedy on a Biblical scale.
One feels helpless. And frustrated. And angry. There are many questions. Where is the National Guard? Where is FEMA? Where are the provisions? Where are the shelters? Why can't the Corps of Engineers repair the levees and stop the flooding? Why were the poor not evacuated? What happened to the plans and preparations? Is it even possible to prepare for a catastrophe of this magnitude?
The answers will have to come later. Right now there's no time to even count the dead. There is only time to save as many lives as possible."
A year ago
God, it seems like an eternity since we all watched New Orleans die while Nero fiddled.
I'm sure a lot of people don't remember this: ten days before Katrina, record flooding hit parts of Switzerland, southern Germany, Austria, and Romania. Although the later news of Katrina pushed this story out of the American headlines, hundreds of people in Central Europe died in the floods.
Does anybody remember this?
Although the destruction in Europe was nothing compared to Katrina, it was nevertheless significant. Entire towns were destroyed, and many others were cut off from the outside world due to washed-out roads, bridges, and railways.
The Swiss town of Engelberg, as just one example, was completely cut off from the world when the only road down the mountain was washed away. Within 24 hours of the flooding, military and private helicopters were deployed to the town from Lucerne, which is 30 miles away. The 5,000 residents and 3,000 or so tourists were airlifted to Lucerne (which was itself under about 10 feet of water). The only people allowed to stay behind were those engaged in cleanup operations.
This story was repeated many times across Central Europe. The rescue operations were swift, effective, and thorough. They included a combination of firemen, police, military, NGOs, and private citizens spontaneously doing whatever they could.
A week after Katrina, I went to Europe for a few weeks on a trip I'd been planning for months. I went to Switzerland, Germany, and the Czech Republic. I rented a car and drove the whole way, taking the back roads through the countryside. I saw firsthand the devastation of the flooding, taking detours where necessary due to washed-out roads. However, the reconstruction was already well under way; less than three weeks after the floods, the road up that steep mountain to Engelberg had been rebuilt and reopened, Lucerne and Basel had been cleaned out, and the roads in southern Germany were already rebuilt.
Across the afffected areas, I met many wonderful, hospitable people. During conversation, they'd inevitably ask the same questions: "What the hell has happened to your country? What the hell happened to New Orleans? Why did your government let those people die?" They weren't being accusatory; they were genuinely shocked, appalled, and completely bumfuzzled that the wealthiest country in the history of the world was incapable of evacuating a few thousand people who had been left to die in their own filth in the Convention Center.
Looking at the difference in the European and American responses to disaster, I really couldn't come up with an adequate answer.
One guy in Germany asked, "Is this what Bush means by 'small government'?" He wasn't being snarky; he legitimately didn't understand why "small government" is considered desirable by conservatives in this country.
I could only answer "Yes, I think it is."

What You Can Expect
Head first to the archaeological site of Pompeii, the ancient city that lay buried under volcanic ash for centuries following Mount Vesuvius' eruption in 79 AD. Enter the site at your own expense and learn the history behind that fateful day. Pass the ruins of the Forum, the Temple of Venus, the Thermal Baths and more.
Afterward, take a ride to a prominent cameo and corals factory. The family-run business specializes in the ancient Neapolitan tradition of carved coral jewelry. Get a behind-the-scenes look at the production process and then stroll the short distance to Ristorante Vesuvio for lunch, a local establishment dating back to the 18th century.
Appetites sated, travel north along the scenic roads of the Amalfi Coast, passing pastel-colored towns and the turquoise waters of the Tyrrhenian Sea. Stop to visit a traditional ceramic workshop before heading to the town of Amalfi.
There, enjoy some free time to explore the streets or cool off with a gelato. Your tour will conclude afterward with transportation back to Naples.

Booked trough viator, an the tour operator was EXCELLENT, thank you Tania and Pascuale Everything was perfect from the moment we checked in all the way until finished. I would recommend this company to book your tours while in Firenzi Florence. Tania did an outstanding performance, very professional, knowledgeable and very pleasant. Pascuale the driver very pleasant and made us feel safe.
May 2016
I really enjoyed this tour. It is so much better to go in the off season, even though things are closed. I can't image going in a big bus on those windy roads along the coast. I lucked out with a small group of 5 and we were in a comfy van. I would highly recommend this tour.

This was the best of the four tours we took in Italy. From the moment Antonio picked us up in front of our hotel in Naples we were perfectly cared for by professionals. Driver was Antonio guide was Angela.
Pompeii was amazing and very informational. Lunch was great. The tour along the Amalfi coast was spectacular. The whole package left us wanting more.
April 2016
Our trip with you was FANTASTIC Thank you. We were collected on time Our guides for Pompeii and Amalfi spoke great English and were very helpful and the itinerary was great Thank you for a great trip Cheryl Raper and Donald Raper
April 2016
It's a very good combination in my view. Especially this is good if you have a relative tight schedule or you are travelling alone without a car. Amalfi is of course the highlights. The driver knows the best spots for photos and nicely offered drop offs to one of the famous pizza shop on the way back.
April 2016
Such a great tour of Pompeii-- tour guide was fantastic - superbly nice and knowledgable.
The Amalfi Coast drive was completed by Luigi who was passionate about this amazing and magical part of Italy. He was so accommodating and we stopped many times and enjoyed stunning views and got to stay longer in Amalfi---it is tough driving--narrow roads, tight turns, tour buses, etc. I loved that we go to go to Ravello---so worth every dollar I paid.
April 2016
We really enjoyed the tour and VERY grateful we did not have to maneuver the twisty roads down the Almalfi coast.. The tour of Pompeii was spectacular and just the right length. The cameo factory and ceramics shop were informative and a good chance to acquire some gifts for friends and family. We opted to enjoy the town of Almafi instead of the optional boat tour, giving us free time in the town. Good value and excellent guides.
April 2016
Wonderful tour. Pompeii was interestingly presented by our tour guide. The lunch, which was included in the tour, was very good. We especially enjoyed our afternoon tour of the Amalfi Coast with our charming and engaging driver/tour guide, Riccardo. Highly recommend this tour.
April 2016
This was the best value for the money tour that I have ever taken. If you have only one day and you want to see as much as possible this is the tour for you. Our guides Stefania in Pompeii and Ricardo the driver to the Amalfi coast were second to none. I had an awesome day. I highly recommend this tour. You will get to see so much and still stop in Amalfi to enjoy the tour a bit. Lovely Experience
April 2016
I wish we spent more time in Pompeii, but totally understand that we needed to allow enough time to do Amalfi and get back to Naples at a decent time. Our guides and drivers were amazing especially if you get Mario, he's by far the most entertaining and best driver guide. Pompeii was fascinating, we were glad we ended up doing it as part of a guided tour. Amalfi was beautiful as well.

Oregon's Democratic Governor John Kitzhaber said on Tuesday he will allow no further executions in the state while he is in office, and that he considered the death penalty morally wrong.
The move effectively halted the scheduled execution of convicted killer Gary Haugen, who had waived his appeals and was scheduled to die by lethal injection on December 6.
"It is time for Oregon to consider a different approach," Kitzhaber said in a statement. "I refuse to be a part of this compromised and inequitable system any longer; and I will not allow further executions while I am governor."
Oregon has carried out two executions in the last 49 years, both during Kitzhaber's first administration as governor, the statement said.
Kitzhaber said allowing those executions to go forward was "the most agonizing and difficult decisions I have made as governor" and that he has "revisited and questioned" the decisions over and over since then.
"I do not believe that those executions made us safer and certainly they do not make us nobler as a society," Kitzhaber said. "And I simply cannot participate once again in something I believe to be morally wrong."
Sixteen states and District of Columbia have no death penalty and there has been a gradual trend away from capital punishment in the United States with the number of executions falling slightly in recent years.
Illinois governor Pat Quinn in March signed a law abolishing the death penalty.
There have been 43 executions so far this year in the United States compared with 46 in all of 2010.

(Adds Gundlach quotes on commodities, stocks and Fed)
NEW YORK, Dec 8 (Reuters) - Jeffrey Gundlach, the widely followed investor who runs DoubleLine Capital, said on a webcast on Tuesday that the junk bond market has come under severe selling pressure ahead of the Federal Reserve's policy meeting next week.
"We are looking at real carnage in the junk bond market," Gundlach said. Gundlach also said it was too early to buy high-yield junk bonds and energy debt securities. "I don't like things when they go down every single day."
Gundlach, who has been warning that the U.S. Federal Reserve should not tighten monetary policy in December, cited a number of other asset classes that are signaling deteriorating conditions. The commodities market has been facing monstrous declines with copper prices, as an example, down 37 percent since July 2014 while "the breadth of the equity market may be the worst ever." Gundlach characterized commodities as the "widow maker" of the markets.
Overall, Gundlach said it is "unthinkable" to raise rates with junk bonds and leveraged loans struggling so much.
High Yield bonds rated CCC are currently at multi-year lows, down more than 20 percent from their peak in June 2014.
Despite soft growth in the U.S. and weakening global growth, the Fed is "hell bent" on raising interest rates because it has said in many speeches that it would do so, Gundlach says. "It's possible the Fed pulls another Lucy and the football," Gundlach said, referring to peanut character Lucy yanking a football away from Charlie Brown.
Gundlach said market turmoil would be the main factor that delays a hike by the Fed next week, its first in nearly a decade. "If the Fed hikes, it will be a different world," he added.
The Fed could end up looking like Sweden's Riksbank, which hiked back in 2010 and 2011 only to have to quickly reverse and quickly slash rates, Gundlach said. The Fed "philosophically" wants to raise interest rates and will use "selectively back-tested evidence" to justify an increase in rates, he added.

The video is hilarious to me, but I feel like a lot more could've been done.. What about the convient noise that occurs when you stumble upon a clue? What about how your car miraculously never breaks, unless you're going fast enough? So much more could've been done with the video to make it even funnier, not just the fact Cole draws everything. Still a funny ending though. Keep up the good work.
A poop joke.
A poop joke after so very, very long made this absolutely-effin Golden!
Good, short, but not funny.
I may just be the idiot who didn't play the game, but I have seen alot of your work. Ths one just wasn't witty. So you made a poop joke...If your good at those, then is that all you are?
You're animation is amazing. The voice acting is great. You're humor though is really starting to wear thin, I felt like there was a lot more you could have done with this. With a whole game to make fun of, you instead obsessed over a small part of it, a VERY small part. Next time you do a parody, make sure it's at least semi-relevant to the subject of parody. I was amused by the faces you do though, keep up the animatin!
I've been waiting for a new one of these. It's really funny. I love you.

I didn't use this product every day and yet it got finished or dried up pretty fast.Not sure about the effect on my lashes. Not gonna buy it again. Good point: if the line was not perfect, I could still correct it with my fingers.

I have allergy on this product unfortunately
A test

I've never tried eyeliner before. I think it is ok, but not something I intend to buy again. Perhaps easier to use if you are used to using eyeliner. I have not noticed any improvement of my eyelashes, but I have quite long and dense eyelashes naturally.
Hard to apply
Posted by Reviewer2388488 on Jan 15, 2015
Something about it thats not right. I really like the color, but you cant really control how much is on the tip. Havent seen any effect on the lashes yet, but still hopping!
Posted by 4857508959540896687 on Jun 14, 2015
The product may be great, but for me the color is much too light and doesn't define my eyes so I've only used it a couple times. It is definitely not deep brown, so don't expect it to be slightly lighter than a black.
like a regular liner

It is fine
Great idea, but

It's a great idea to put lash boosting serum in an eyeliner, but unfortunately the staying power wasn't great.

So far so good

It does not irritate my sensitive eyes but it is too early to tell as a lash booster.

As an eyeliner, OK. Dark brown fits my colors really well, but I don't know if i've noticed any effect of the serum, but I don't think Ive used it long enough to get that effect. Could be more long lasting.

Editor's Note: This is the first in a series of nine articles outlining each of the proposed projects included in this year's Stellar Communities application. With all nine projects scheduled for completion within the next four years, there are a lot of changes coming to Wabash in the near future. We wanted to look into each of these projects to better explain what the Stellar Communities designation means for Wabash.
by Eric Stearley
Wabash is now a Stellar Community. With the wait over and the anxiety gone, there is a lot of work to be done.
"We realized as soon as we exhaled that the real work was starting," said Marketplace's Patrick Sullivan following the announcement.
Some of the first changes residents are likely to see will be streetscape and connectivity improvements coming to downtown.
"These improvements will activate underutilized public space and restore aging streetscape through new pavement, curbs, and sidewalks," the Stellar application outlines.
The project will focus on Market Street, part of Canal Street, and Allen Street, which connects the two near Paradise Spring Historical Park. The biggest change will be the conversion of Market and Canal Streets east of Wabash Street into two-way streets.
"One of the issues we have with fully utilizing Paradise Spring Historical Park and the museum and some other opportunities down there is the fact that it's so difficult for out-of-towners to find because of one-way streets," said Economic Development Group CEO Bill Konyha. "You'll actually be able to turn right on Market Street and go to the museum, instead of having to make three right turns; same with Paradise Spring. You can go to Paradise Spring by going down either Market or Canal Street, and you'll be able to leave Paradise Spring by taking either Canal or Market Street."
This conversion will make it easier for residents and tourists to access the museum, as well as the many events held in the park, such as last week's Herb Fest or the upcoming Smokin' For A Cause and Chili For Charity events. It also facilitates access to an upcoming project, the Rock City Lofts, which will be looked at later in this series.
"We've developed some of these projects to attract tourists, and we've developed some of them to provide tourists with an opportunity to spend money, but we've got to make it easy for them to get to those opportunities as well," said Konyha.
In addition to this, improvements will be made to the area adjacent to the new two-way streets. The sidewalk, curb, landscaping and lighting improvements made to much of downtown more than a decade ago will be continued through this area, with the goal of matching the aesthetics of the rest of downtown. Trees will be added as well, bringing life and color to the area.
In addition to improving aesthetics, the project is aimed at improving access. The city's ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) Plan, completed in 2012, outlines specific sidewalks, crosswalks, and curb cuts needed to comply with national standards. Special crosswalks are planned for the intersection of Market and Allen streets, seen as a key intersection in connecting Paradise Spring to the East Wabash Historic District and downtown. The plan also includes reconstruction of the entrance to the Wabash Moose Lodge 1195 Family Center and improved access to city-owned parking. The project not only means improving what is known as the East Market Street District, but will serve to expand downtown as we know it.
Market Street will also see changes west of Wabash Street, thought it will remain a one-way street.
"The current streetscape has reached its lifespan," the application reads. "The bricks and sidewalks have shifted and create tripping hazards and pedestrian access issues."
While more than a decade of regular use and settling has contributed to this deterioration, much of it is due to the existing trees outgrowing their space, their roots causing damage to the bricks and sidewalks. These will be removed and replaced.
"We're going to replace them with dwarf trees that, as they grow, won't pull up the sidewalks with them," said Konyha. "Fifteen years ago, when that was done, the wrong trees were planted. That's basically what it comes down to."
In addition, proposed improvements to west Market Street will include decorative crosswalks at each intersection and a mid-block crossing to allow easier access to the alley, which will see improvements in the near future with the completion of the Art Alley Project.
The total project is expected to cost just over $1.9 million. Local funds of just less than $380,000 are committed to the project, making up 20 percent of the project budget.
The city's Strategic Investment Plan shows design work starting this month, with construction beginning in July of 2017 and a completion date of Aug. 2018, but the project is already ahead of schedule.
"It'll never take that long," said Konyha. "The design work is already underway. We've allotted a very long lead time for design, and in this case, I'll actually be surprised if that project's not done by next year."
If that is the case, the Streetscape and Connectivity project may be the first glimpse Wabash residents have of the change coming to downtown.

Police Say Feds Investigating Fraud Operation with Possible Terrorist Ties
CONROE, Texas (AP) - A routine traffic stop in the small town of Montgomery has led to the discovery of a baby formula fraud operation that may be helping fund terrorist activity, police officials investigating the case said Thursday.
Montgomery police Lt. Michael White said the FBI, U.S. Customs Service and U.S. Department of Agriculture are involved in the investigation, which may span several states.
The investigation began early Saturday after police stopped four people in a rented van, clocked at 91 mph in downtown Montgomery. Two of the occupants had outstanding warrants for marijuana possession and speeding, police said.
Officers found the van fully stocked with hundreds of cans of Enfamil. The infant formula usually sells for around $10 per can, but officers found receipts in the van showing each can was purchased for less than a dollar.
A further investigation, aided by U.S. Customs agents, led authorities to believe the suspects altered bar codes on the cans to buy them cheaply at stores such as Wal-Mart and Brookshire Brothers, then resold them elsewhere to turn a profit that may have been used to fund terrorist operations abroad, police said.
Police told the Conroe Courier for its Thursday editions that terrorists obtain U.S. currency from certain store owners and operators who derive millions in profits from the resale of stolen or fraudulently purchased items, like formula. They would not comment directly on the link in this case.
"There is a very, very strong connection with what's going on here in relation to money going over to Middle Eastern countries to fund terrorist groups over there," White said. "We're just a little, bitty town here. You'd never think something like that would happen."
U.S. Customs Service spokeswoman Judy Turner in Houston said she could not confirm whether the agency was investigating the operation.
"The only thing that I will confirm is that the Montgomery Police Department shared information about what they found in that traffic stop with the U.S. Customs Service and possibly other federal agencies," Turner said.
Turner said the agency did handle a major investigation in Dallas regarding baby formula in the late 1990s. In that case, at least $4 million worth of formula was stolen from stores, repackaged in counterfeit cartons and sold across state lines, she said.
"We did link the money going to countries such as Egypt and Jordan," Turner said. "That's as far as we got."
Two of the van's occupants, 17-year-old Rutilio Barrera of McAllen and 28-year-old Monica Mozeyen of Houston, were arrested.
Barrera was taken in on felony drug charges out of Corpus Christi and Mozeyen was sought for failing to appear at a hearing over a Department of Public Safety speeding ticket out of Harris County, police said.
Barrera was taken back to Corpus Christi while Mozeyen was released after posting bond, police said.
Police Chief J.R. "Jackie" McDonald said the department would pursue whatever charges it could against Barrera and Mozeyen.
The other two occupants of the van, one juvenile female and another adult woman, were released for lack of any specific charges to hold them, McDonald said.
White said Montgomery police have fielded inquiries into the case from law enforcement authorities in Los Angeles, Phoenix and across Texas.

Jennings' attack mode pays off
Brandon Jennings and Minnesota rookie Ricky Rubio never really went head-to-head in the two exhibition games between the Bucks and Timberwolves.
But it finally happened in the fourth quarter Tuesday night with the game on the line in the Bucks' home opener.
And Jennings showed good awareness by driving the lane against Rubio and drawing two fouls on the rookie, resulting in four made free throws. The Bucks guard also was fouled two other times in the last 5 minutes and went 7 for 8 at the line in that stretch, helping secure Milwaukee's 98-95 victory.
Rubio was selected fifth by Minnesota in the 2009 draft and Jennings was taken 10th by the Bucks. While the Spaniard stayed in his home country and played two seasons for Regal FC Barcelona, Jennings was learning against the elite NBA point guards the last two years.
Jennings recently recanted his "all hype" comments about Rubio from the summer of 2009.
But it's clear the Bucks guard still feels slighted in some respects.
Asked after Tuesday's game if a rivalry exists between the two players, Jennings said: "I wouldn't say (it's) a rivarly. He has way more hype than I did when I first came in. If it wasn't for scoring 55, I don't think people would know who I really was. Hey, it is what it is.
"He's a rookie and everyone's excited when the rookies come in. He's going to be good, though. He sees the floor well and he can make plays."
Jennings referred to his 55-point game in the seventh game of his rookie season, a breakout game against Golden State at the Bradley Center. It stood up as the highest scoring game by any player during the 2009-'10 season.
Minnesota assistant Terry Porter had enough confidence in Rubio to leave him on the floor in the crucial final stages of the game Tuesday. Porter was subbing for coach Rick Adelman, who missed the game to attend a funeral.
After the game, Porter was asked if NBA point guards would challenge Rubio by attacking him off the dribble in a similar manner.
"Oh, yeah, he's a rookie and he's got a lot of hype," Porter said. "I remember when you're a player and you got a young point guard and a guy who's got a lot of hype. As a veteran, you want to go at him and see what he's made of.
"That's part of the process. That's the initiation, so to speak, to the point guard-hood of the NBA. I think he's been in the game long enough, he knows that guys are going to challenge him, and he wants that. That's what makes him good."
Rubio wound up with six points and four assists while committing three turnovers in 27 minutes off the bench. He played more than J.J. Barea, who was 1 for 9 from the field and had nine points in 19 minutes.
The Timberwolves' starting point guard, former Bucks player Luke Ridnour, had 17 points.
Jennings wound up with 24 points and seven assists. And he did get a breakaway dunk off a turnover by Rubio in the final quarter.
Jennings also drove with the shot clock running down instead of launching a jumper, a decision which turned out for the best when the Bucks guard found rookie forward Jon Leuer open for a dunk and resulting three-point play late in the game.
"Fortunately I was able to get to the free throw line a lot," he said later. "I didn't want really want to settle too much for jump shots at the end, especially with not having a lot of legs. Especially that dunk took a lot out of my legs. It was important to keep getting in the lane."

ASUS debuts bamboo computer concept
ASUS has debuted an unusual series of concept computers that rely on alternative case materials. Where most cases rely on materials like aluminum, titanium or plastic, the company's Bamboo computers are in fact made of the namesake natural wood, which has multiple advantages. Aside from being more aesthetically appealing, bamboo should be more environmentally friendly; it is readily renewable, unlike minerals or oils, and the material is biodegradable when it ultimately ends up in a garbage dump.

TurboUSB boosts transfers data at 35MB per second, or about 30 percent faster than other hard drives with the same 5,400RPM rotation speed, Buffalo estimates.
Intel Atom leak shows 1.87GHz, dual-core
Details have surfaced about the near future of Intel's Atom processor for handhelds, courtesy of a new leaked roadmap for the chips. Though Intel has only publicly acknowledged a 1.6GHz Atom 230 processor and alluded to others, the slip shows that Intel expects to spread the line to the high end in the near future. After the initial version, the semiconductor firm plans a 1.87GHz Atom 200-series chip; in standard form, it would be a direct upgrade with a faster speed but the same 533MHz bus and 512KB of Level 2 cache memory.
FCC head: Comcast has been deceptive
Comcast may have already undermined its position in an ongoing government investigation, according to the chairman of the Federal Communications Commission.

The senior official explains that one of the chipmaker's introductions this year will be a series of 1.8- and 2.5-inch drives targeted at ultraportables that not only hold more but are also faster. While they will hold between 80GB and 160GB versus today's 64GB and just-shipping 128GB drives, they should also outperform the claimed 100 megabytes per second reading speed of the Samsung Flash SSD, which itself is already much faster than most rotating hard disks, the Intel executive boasts.
Webkit: most compliant with next-gen web standards
The future of the Safari web browser has been a topic of great interest lately, and some MacNN forum members have discovered that Webkit � Safari's developmental alter ego � is so far the most compliant with next generation web standards. According to the forum members' findings, WebKit and Safari 3.1 receive the highest scores on the Acid3 compliancy tests at 90-percent and 74-percent respectively, while Camino 2.0a1, Firefox 3.0b5, and Seamonkey 2.0a1 come in third place at 69-percent.
Hitachi, IBM work to shrink silicon chips
Hitachi and IBM are set to announce a partnership which will result in smaller, more efficient silicon chips, according to the New York Times. While many companies are only now making the switch to 45nm technology, as with Intel in the case of its Penryn processors, Hitachi and IBM say they are working on the next step, which involves research at the atomic level to produce 32 and even 22nm semiconductors. In some cases this may make components as little as a few atoms thick, approaching the physical limits of non-quantum computing.
Analysts warn of chip overstock, sales slump
An oversupply in the amount of electronics chips stemming from the holidays is the sign of a decline in demand for computers and handhelds, according to a new Gartner report sent out today. The research group warns that its index of surplus inventory around the world grew nearly 12 percent between the third and fourth quarters of 2007, largely due to poorer sales. As the downturn is likely to have carried over to this quarter and potentially the spring, many companies should deliberately scale back their extra stock to avoid being caught out by any further drops, the report notes.
First Look: Time Capsule, wireless backup
While all new Macintosh computers come with Time Machine, Apple�s unique backup program that allows you to go back and retrieve previously deleted files or older versions of recently modified files, you can�t use Time Machine unless you also have a second volume. To take the guesswork out of which type of external hard disk to buy, Apple offers Time Capsule, a simple, fool-proof external hard disk specifically designed to work with Time Machine. The simplicity of Time Capsule is apparent when you open the box and find just four items: the Time Capsule unit, a power cord, an installation CD, and a printed setup manual.
Ericsson: Wi-Fi hotspots already set for slow death
The end for Wi-Fi hotspots may already be in sight, claims the chief marketing officer of telecom multinational Ericsson. Speaking today at the European Computer Audit, Control and Security Conference in Stockholm, Sweden, Johan Bergendahl commented that at least in Europe, cellular broadband is growing so rapidly that it is surpassing any rate ever achieved by either mobile or fixed voice networks. "In Austria," says Bergendahl, "they are saying that mobile broadband will pass fixed broadband this year."
MacBook Air confuses airport security
The MacBook Air's thin design is causing some confusion for the technically ignorant, according to one blogger who says that the ultra-portable caused him to miss his flight. When going through the TSA airport security checkpoint, blogger Michael Nygard was held up as security staff gathered around his MacBook Air, trying to make sense of the slender laptop. One of the less technically knowledgeable staff points out the lack of standard features as cause for alarm.
PopChar X 3.4 adds new search, menu options
Ergonis Software today unveiled PopChar X 3.4, an update to its special character finding and typing utility, offering several new features such as an enhanced search feature. The search function can now locate characters by name, Unicode number, or example. Users also have access to a new contextual menu which allows then to copy characters to the clipboard. Ergonis Software is currently selling PopChar X 3.4 for �30 (~$50)
Microsoft makes Euro X360 price drop official
Microsoft has quickly confirmed existing rumors and today officially dropped European prices for the Xbox 360. The base Xbox 360 Arcade system now costs �160 in the UK and �200 in Europe, making the system less expensive than the already low-cost Nintendo Wii that serves as its chief rival; the standard 20GB Xbox 360 in turn drops to �200 or �270. The black, 120GB Elite model now sells for �270 or �370 depending on the region.
Gameloft promises 15 iPhone games in 2008
Gameloft, currently one of the major publishers of games for the iPod classic, nano and 5G, has announced its intentions to both develop and publish for the iPhone platform. The news follows Apple's preview of the App Store and SDK, and announcements from other game companies, including Sega and Electronic Arts as well as Freeverse. Development teams at Gameloft are already said to be at work on some 15 titles, taking advantage of features such as the touchscreen, accelerometer and 3D processor.
Samsung reveals jukebox with 4G Internet
Samsung this morning upped the stakes in portable media players and released the SWT-W100K. The 4.3-inch touchscreen device is built to replace not just most handhelds but also some PCs, courtesy of its fourth-generation Internet access. The W100K is one of the few devices to support WiBro (known as WiMAX in the West) on the go and pulls data more quickly than some landline connections: it can download up to 13Mbps and has enough upload speed for high-quality video calls with a built-in front camera. A back 2-megapixel camera with autofocus takes on video capture.
Analysts say both Apple and RIM positioned well
American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu today released a note to investors regarding the renewed competition between the iPhone, with its new ActiveSync functionality, and the Blackberry. While users of the Blackberry claim the platform features better security through encryption, network management and efficiency, as well as push email, ActiveSync advocates highlight simplicity, less expense, and features its own security benefits.
Sprint gives Mogul an EVDO Rev A upgrade
Sprint on Monday fulfilled a promise made in June and has released an update for the Mogul to add EVDO Revision A. The update boosts the speed of the HTC-made smartphone's Internet access, particularly for uploads: while downloads jump from a peak 700Kbps to as much as 1.4Mbps in better real-world conditions, uploads climb several times from 70Kbps to 500Kbps. Patching to the newer standard is said to make photo and video uploading more feasible than on the standard EVDO (Revision 0) network.
Beatles on iTunes by end of the year?
The Beatles' back catalog should finally appear in digital form by the end of the year, claims a British tabloid. The deal will reportedly see the music come to the iTunes Store, with albums including the likes of Help!, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and possibly more. The deal is said to worth as much as �200 ($402.5) million, and has allegedly been sanctioned by lead Beatle Paul McCartney as means to help pay for his divorce from Heather Mills. Proceedings have already cost McCartney �5 million, and may jump by another �20 to �30 million after a settlement.
SanDisk's nano-beater leaked on Amazon
More details have surfaced about SanDisk's upcoming Sansa Fuze music player, according to an Amazon leak. The listing confirms the Fuze's role as a direct iPod nano rival with a 1.9-inch screen, music and video playback on 4GB of storage, and a jog wheel for navigation. Unlike the Apple player or rivals like the Zune 4, the Fuze would add a microSDHC slot for as much as 8GB or more of additional storage. It would also bring an FM radio and voice capture through a microphone.
Sony preps GIGA JUKEs with wireless, iPod hooks
Sony today expanded its still fledgling GIGA JUKE line of stereos outside of Japan with two models built to almost entirely replace a computer as well as traditional stereos for digital audio. The SC55PKE (shown) is the first small audio system from Sony to promise a full multi-room setup while also storing a large range of music: its main unit holds up to 80GB of ATRAC, MP3, WMA music ripped from CDs (up to 16X) or other sources but supplies both a wireless adapter and dedicated control unit to listen to the system with separate speakers in another room. As many as five areas can be served from one hub, Sony says.
Lionsgate joins iTunes Digital Copy
Lionsgate, the independent studio most recently responsible for movies such as Rambo and The Bank Job, has announced that it will be the next company to support Apple's iTunes Digital Copy program. The program puts iTunes-formatted versions of movies on retail discs, as an accompaniment to the standard version; while these videos are restricted by Apple's DRM protection, it provides a quick and legal method of synching movies with computers, iPods, iPhones and Apple TVs. The first company to support Digital Copy was Fox, with the release of Family Guy: Blue Harvest on DVD.
MS: no immediate plans to merge Yahoo tech
Microsoft would not immediately begin merging technology if its proposed takeover of Yahoo goes through, the company's chief software architect Ray Ozzie has explained in an interview. Although the two companies often have competing technologies, Microsoft would move slowly to integrate either firm's technology with the other. The work climates and technical foundations are said to be too different to encourage an early start and could alienate users if forced together too quickly.

PopChar X 7.5 arrives
Ergonis Software has released PopChar X 7.5, an improved version of the company's tool for finding and inserting special characters and exploring fonts. PopChar X 7.5 adds support for combined emojis in the Apple Color Emoji font, enhances the "Font Info" view, and adds many further enhancements that improve overall speed and stability. PopChar X 7.5 retails for €30 ($34), and is free for anyone who owns a license for PopChar X 7 or purchased a license for PopChar X 6 on or after March 1, 2014 [4.5MB]
Safari Technology Preview release 5 arrives
Apple has released the latest, and fifth, version of its Safari Technology Preview. The latest version arrives two weeks after the Preview release 4. As with the previous releases, the STP does not replace the gold candidate release of Safari, but can reside alongside it, though it is primarily aimed at developers to utilize for testing purposes. The latest release brings fixes to JavaScript, CSS, Web APIs, Web Inspector, Media, Security, Networking, Accessibility, and bugs fixes for large animated GIFs and zooming in and out of PDF documents. Users running a previous version of the preview can update it via the Mac App Store. http://apple.co/1qLpSk8
Parallels Access 3.1 updated for iPad Pro
Virtualization software Parallels Access 3.1 has been updated with support for the 12.9-inch iPad Pro, including Apple Pencil support. The software allows remote access to your PC or Mac from anywhere to control desktop applications from iOS or Android tablets and phones, with native touch gestures, as well as from any computer with an HTML5 web browser. Featuring three resolution choices for your mobile device ("Best for your Device," "More Space," and "Same as Computer") and 3D Touch support for the iPhone 6s and 6s Plus, the update also adds a new Tablet Mode in Windows 10, which makes it easier to interact without a mouse or keyboard. http://bit.ly/1OWZqjg
Hyundai brings CarPlay to more 2016 models
Along with its previously-announced support for adding CarPlay technology to the 2016 Sonata, 2017 Elantra, and 2017 Ioniq, a leaked memo to dealers has revealed that CarPlay-supporting software updates will be available today that bring the infortainment tech to the 2015 and 2016 non-hybrid Sonata models, the 2016 hybrid Sonata, the 2015 and 2016 Genesis Sedan, the 2016 Tucson, the 2017 Santa Fe, and the 2017 Ioniq. Owners can upgrade the system themselves by visiting the Hyundai website, and will need a Mac or PC with either an SD card slot or SD card reader to transfer the update to the vehicle. http://bit.ly/1YZqkqS
Google Paris HQ raided by investigators
Google's Paris headquarters has been raided by dozens of French police. The Tuesday raid was part of an ongoing investigation into possible tax-avoidance practices, stoked by widespread dissatisfaction with the way multinationals like Google are structuring their business operations. Although trading in many countries around the globe, Google reports its international sales only in tax-friendly Ireland, similar to a practice adopted by Apple. According to French law, if it completes any of its sales contracts in France and not Ireland alone, it could be in breach of its laws. Google, for its part, denies any wrongdoing, and said that it is fully compliant with French law. http://reut.rs/1Udk2T9
Apple TV extends universal search to NBC
Apple has extended its universal search function on the Apple TV to now include NBC shows in its results, provided the user has installed the NBC tvOS app. The search results can be generated either through Siri, or through the Search app, and includes support for searches by title, genre, and actor, among other queries. NBC joins CBS, more recently, among other channels including: Disney Channel; Disney Jr; Disney XD; FOXNOW; FXNOW; HBO GO; HBO NOW; Hulu; Nat Geo TV; Netflix; PBS; PBS Kids; SHOWTIME; SHOWTIME Anytime; Starz, and Watch ABC, all of which are supported by universal search. http://apple.co/25lGi5R

Loews Corp.'s James Tisch relies on hedge funds to boost his company's returns, but doesn't envy their lot in life. In fact, Tisch said, it's the other way around.
"They're phenomenally jealous of me, believe it or not," Tisch told Bloomberg News at the Bloomberg Hedge Funds Summit yesterday. "They say to me, Jim, you've got permanent capital. Your money can't leave. But all these other guys, if they have a bad quarter, a bad year, boom! Look at SAC Capital."
Tisch, Loews' CEO, keeps most of the company's money with insurance unit CNA Financial Corp., which invests both the company's money and client premiums in, among other things, hedge funds. It's a move that some hedge funds—including SAC—have tried to make, creating reinsurance companies that invest their capital and premiums with the firms that found them.
Tisch said that CNA's hedge fund portfolio helped increase its investment income 11% last year. "We've made the decision to invest in hedge funds as 'the spice in our soup' that's going to add to the earnings."
Tisch also defended the hedge fund industry against allegations that its fees are too high, noting that it would be more expensive to build in-house teams with the expertise and breadth that hedge funds make available. And, he added, he favors smaller hedge funds over the industry's giants.
"We are very wary of managers that have $10 billion, $15 billion, $20 billion, because you have to wonder, how can they generate outsize returns with so much money," he said. "We are constantly looking and probing and trying to find the new guys on the street, the people that aren't loaded to the gills."

Yum — this looks delicious (pun intended!) and I don't have a single apple in the house!
Great colors for your apple pick, Chicky Suz! Love the GGP pieces, too!
Thanks Lynn, I just heard on the news that some of our local orhards are picking now! I might have to go to an Orchard this weekend and get some! The weather is supposed to be beautiful!!
Wow — I just checked your profile to make sure I was correct as to where you live! The apples are ready now? Is that early for your area? I love picking apples at the orchards near us in IN, but we'll have to wait awhile for them to be ready. Apples, cider, YUM!!!
Yes, we pick certain apples in late Aug but Sept is the best month for all. They are early in Sept this year due to all the rain we got this summer. Plus it was hot for a little bit, then cool for awhile! I guess the apples love that! Thanks Lilly!
You're so lucky to have fresh apples this soon! Eat a crispy, tart one for me!
I will Lynn! I like the Macoun or Gala….
Delicious pick Susan
I love Gala and Braeburn and Granny Smith. I've never seen Macoun around here. Is it tart?
Lynn, you sound like me!
I love tart crisp apples. I love Winesap! And then there's Honey Crisp…now there's an apple I think you'll love. It literally snaps when you bite into it! It's fairly new on the market and I'm not sure if they grow them in our neck of the woods yet. If you get a chance, try one!
Oh, I forgot about Winesap! Haven't seen Honey Crisp, either — sounds delicious! Where have you had it, Mary? Have you had a Pink Lady? They are really good, too!
Yes, I've had Pink Ladys and they were my favorite UNTIL I tried Honey Crisp!
I found them at a Health food store nearby. They have a VERY short season so they're not around for more than a few weeks. Some years I get to the store in time, sometimes not. I did actually find Honey Crisps at Wal-mart last year! so they must be getting more common.
I have a Honey Crisp in our orchard at home but it's not old enough to bear fruit yet. They seem much more susceptible to insect damage too.
We'll see.
Love the colors!
Wow, that's great to know about the Honey Crisp apples, because I always buy Pink Lady over any other kind — if they have them at the store. I'll have to check out some of our health food stores, such as Trader Joe's, Whole Foods, and Fresh Market.
Great pick I'm getting ready to go apple picking we never miss a year
Weren't we talking about gemstones?
Oh, yeah, way back when……

If you did not have a chance to work with Cloud Foundry, it
may be useful to test its features locally at first. Deploying this environment
on a local machine allows you to get hands-on experience in the solution and, in case you are a contributor, to test some features before you commit them to a production environment.
This meetup will provide two real-life examples of deploying Cloud Foundry on a local machine. The attendees will also learn how to deploy this platform atop of production-level IaaS that has hundreds of components and thousands of applications.
1. Manuel Garcia, Cloud Foundry Practice Lead at Altoros, has more than 15 years of experience as a software developer, project manager and product manager. Being a Certified Scrum Master and agile practices advocate, he knows how important is to put the infrastructure, platforms and tools at the disposal of the developers and not the other way around.
Follow Manuel Garcia @rmgarciap.
