No bull: Herb Alpert here Friday, Nov. 18
Trumpet star and his singer wife still making music together
Herb Alpert & Lani Hall, featuring Bill Cantos, Michael Shapiro and Hussain Jiffry
When: 8 p.m. Friday, Nov. 18
Where: Balboa Theatre, 868 Fourth Ave., downtown
Tickets: $27-$77
Phone: (858) 459-3728
Online: ljms.org
At last, the tale of "The Lonely Bull" can be told — even without the bull.
"The Lonely Bull" is, of course, the 1962 debut album by Herb Alpert & The Tijuana Brass.
The first album to be released by A&M Records, the pioneering independent record label the jazz-loving, trumpet-playing Alpert co-founded with Jerry Moss. Its hit title track, "The Lonely Bull (El Solo Toro)," put both A&M and Alpert's mariachi-inspired band on the map, It also set the stage for the group's 1965 international megahit, "Taste of Honey," and the 15 Top 40 singles that followed by Alpert, whose work with A&M led to him and Moss being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.
"The Lonely Bull" and "Taste of Honey" were followed by "Tijuana Taxi" and a slew of other popular records, including "Whipped Cream" and "Spanish Flea" (which, together, became the joint theme songs for TV's "The Dating Game").
Alpert, who performs here Friday at the Balboa Theatre with a jazzy band in place of the long-defunct Tijuana Brass, almost single-handedly helped raise the profile of San Diego's nearby Mexican sister city.
But why The Tijuana Brass? Why not The Ensenada Brass? Or the Baja Brass?
"It was my partner's idea," the Los Angeles-born Alpert said, crediting Moss.
"I used to go to Tijuana and watch bullfights in the spring, and Jerry was with me. That's when I got the idea to capture the feeling of that moment (of the bullfights) in music. I resisted at first. I didn't want to feel like I was some kind of an impostor. I didn't want people to think I was trying to steal from someone else's thunder. I'm obviously not from Tijuana."
An eight-time Grammy Award-winner, Alpert chuckled when asked if Tijuana officials thanked him for his worldwide promotion of the city's name.
"Many times," he replied. "I have the key to the city. And one of the mayors gave me a (mounted) bull's head."
Really? Where does Alpert keep it?
Another chuckle. "It belongs to my ex-wife now," he said.
Alpert's Friday concert here teams him with his second wife and longtime musical partner, Lani Hall, who rose to prominence singing with Sergio Mendes & Brasil 66.
The couple, married since 1974, will be accompanied by a first-rate trio that features San Diego-born pianist Bill Cantos and percussionist Michael Shapiro (well known to fans here for his past work with guitarist Peter Sprague and singer Kevyn Lettau, herself a veteran of Mendes's band, albeit more than 20 years after Hall). Cantos and Shapiro have worked with Alpert and Hall for nearly five years now.
"I met Bill through Michael and he's an extraordinary musician," Alpert, 76, said of Cantos, who has also worked with Phil Collins, jazz trumpet giant Freddie Hubbard and Burt Bacharach. Cantos, 48, has been a Los Angeles resident for more than 30 years. He first saw Alpert and Hall perform here at Golden Hall in the mid-1970s.
"It was wild, all these years later, to suddenly be meeting Herb and Lani, and to be hanging out with them," Cantos said.
"They are truly the most generous, creative people I've ever been around. Jazz and Brazilian music is going so strongly through their veins. When we play live, there's a huge amount of space for anything to happen. There may be a pop sensibility, but the spirit of jazz propels it."

I really wasn't planning to write this particular post, but a few comments between myself, Jason Keith and Heather Whaling has sparked my curiosity on some of the other implications of Facebook's new(er) Timeline Layout.
Yesterday, we looked at what I thought was a pretty neat application of Timeline's cover image, and how ABC's hit series, Modern Family, is using it to build awareness and advocacy among their Facebook fan base. Go back and dig into that short post and comments to catch up for today.
You Are So Emotional!
And, so am I.
We humans are mere buckets of emotions wrapped up neatly in skin and clothes.
Marketers and advertisers have come to understand that as a core tenet of reaching audiences with the right message that evokes the emotional triggers that lead to purchase decisions, right?
Fail to uncover and spark those triggers, and the failure of your product, service, campaign or even your business as a whole lies around the next corner.
Earlier this morning, my friend Anthony tweeted to me a Forbes article entitled: Why Ads Grab You More on Facebook Than on TV or the Web.
The article details two related studies by Nelisen's NeuroFocus that delve into the how we as humans neurologically engage with more premium websites like Facebook, Yahoo, and the New York Times. The summary bullets from the study are below:
- Compared to NeuroFocus norms, "premium websites" such as Facebook, Yahoo, and the New York Times deliver substantially more engaging experiences than the average website.
- Consumers do respond differently to premium websites oriented toward three different purposes: social networking, light news and entertainment, and hard news and commentary.
- These differences are represented neurologically by different levels of attention, emotional engagement, and memory activation.
- All of these differences appear to be related to the expectations people bring to these sites when they visit them, and these expectations, in turn, appear to impact how people respond to advertising on these sites.
- A related study of advertising on three media contexts supports these results, showing superior attention emotional engagement for an ad presented in a social media online context vs. on TV or on a corporate web page
"The face is a window to the emotions."
In another article on Mashable related to the same study, CEO of NeuroFocus and known mind reader, A.K. Pradeep, shares that "since childhood we are trained to read people's faces to discern emotion, and that such information is key to survival: Thus the stimulation we experience when scanning our news feeds."
The news feeds he's referring to are those found inside Facebook where the faces of your friends (and friends of friends) are most prominent.
Where as sites like Yahoo! and The New York Times scored higher than the behemoth network in terms of memory and recall, Facebook dominated emotional engagement among the 84 adult subjects who were wired with EEG sensors in order to measure their brain wave activity as they browsed around each of the sites.
Back to Yesterday's Post on Facebook Timeline
Facebook makes money on selling advertising features to agencies, brands, small business owners, bloggers and really anyone who's willing to type in their credit card information and open an account.
In yesterday's post, ABC was praised (or questioned) for creating a branded Modern Family timeline cover photo and making it available for their fans to use on their own profile.
What's interesting about Facebook's new layout is now the general user can have their cake and eat it to:
- A personal headshot or avatar image for friend identification
- A customizable cover photo to make a public and emotionally driven statement about their lives. (As an example, Heather brought up the idea of New York Yankee fans plastering a Yankee branded image to their cover photo)
Still, Jason pointed out that using a branded image as a cover photo is technically against Facebook's terms of service, though it doesn't seem too practical that this policy is being strictly policed.
Now the Floor is Yours
Given all of this information, what's your take?
Here are some questions to get you started. Pick one (or all of them) and share your ideas in the comments. Cool?
- Should branded images be allowed to be used by fans to promote the brands they love?
- Do you think ABC's approach is an effective way to leverage the emotional connections triggered by the presence of human faces on Facebook?
- How could the use of branded cover photos affect Facebook's advertising model?
{Wait for it....}
And, GO!

"When you're in the Netherlands,eat like the dutch." Netherlands Local Custom Tip by sammie
Netherlands Local Customs: 288 reviews and 290 photos
Start your day with a Dutch breakfast: fresh bread with butter, jam, cheese, ham or chocolate sprinkles (hagelslag). Yes: Scatter chocolate sprinkles on your buttered bread. You might also want to eat a slice of Breakfast cake (ontbijtkoek), a cake containing cinnamon. Get yourself ready for the chilly rain, strong wind, wet snow storm or radiant sunny day. The Dutch climate is full of whimsical surprises.
At 10:30 am it's time for a cup of coffee. A cup of coffee is not just drinking a cup of coffee. The small, strong cup is to be savored while reading the newspaper or conversing at length with friends.
Lunch is another bread and butter meal, the same as breakfast, perhaps served with thinly sliced cold meats. More coffee, tea or milk. An 'uitsmijter' will satisfy your hunger. It consists of bread with slices of cheese and/or meat, topped with fried eggs. In winter a simple order of Dutch pea soup will satisfy your hunger and re-charge your batteries.
Tea time
At 4 pm it's time for tea. Be sure to try a delicious Dutch pastry (appelgebak) or a piece of 'vlaai' from the province of Limburg. If you walk past a cafe/restaurant that advertises poffertjes, be sure to walk in and try these mini pancakes with lashings of butter and sugar. If you're in the mood for a snack while on the move, buy French fries (patat) covered in mayonaise or sate sauce.
The borrel
At 5 p.m. it's time for a drink, a borrel as the Dutch call it. A nip of Dutch gin served with cheese or nuts or bitterballen.
The choice of food in Holland is as varied as the weather. Restaurants representing Holland's multicultural backgrounds. But in Dutch homes traditions die hard and the simple meals of potatoes, fresh vegetables, meat, chicken, fish or salad, followed by a milk-based dessert are still favorite. If you ask a Dutch person what is being served for dinner, he or she will first mention the vegetable being served, then the rest.

Given question 'How to run all tests belonging to a certain Category?' and the answer would the following approach be better for test organization?
- define master test suite that contains all tests (e.g. using ClasspathSuite)
- design sufficient set of JUnit categories (sufficient means that every desirable collection of tests is identifiable by one or more categories)
- qualify each test with relevant category(ies)
- define targeted test suites based on master test suite and set of categories
- identify categories for speed (slow, fast), dependencies (mock, database, integration, etc.), function (fill in applicable categories), domain (fill in applicable categories), etc.
- demand that each test is properly qualified (tagged) with relevant set of categories.
- create master test suite using ClasspathSuite (all tests found in classpath)
- create targeted suites by qualifying master test suite with categories, e.g. mock test suite, fast database test suite, slow integration for domain X test suite, etc.
My question is more like soliciting approval rate for such approach vs. classic test suite approach. One unbeatable benefit is that every new test is immediately contained by relevant suites with no suite maintenance. One concern is proper categorization of each test.

Any suggestions for good bars to flip and cut, something around 40 or 42 cm and hopefully without any cable indentations. Cheap is good but comfort is more important. I prefer cut bars to the Airwings I once had, they were too long and wide for me. I like a short, curvy pair.
It's for a threadless stem if that matters. Suggestions on a cheap 90cm stem are welcome too.

Epson 1430 Printer
After pricing a replacement set of Epson ink carts for my Epson 1430 printer I've finally reached the point of trying refillable carts. I've found several suppliers of the refillable carts and ink but unsure of the best one to use. I'm sure someone out there has been down this road before. If you would like to share your experience and recommend a good supplier I would greatly appreciate it.
The Epson 1430 printer uses a dye based ink and I would like to stick with that as it prints an excellent photo. Thanks in advance for your help.

Engine Collapse - 1.6 TDCI (2010) + pics
A_Jobson replied to A_Jobson's topic in Ford Focus ClubSorry for not getting back to this earlier, I have been so busy with work and ensuring I have a car in the mean time. Also, I didn't receive any notifications or emails for some reason. The car was towed to the local Ford garage and has been there ever since 1st May! Basically, so far all engine mounts and torque restrictors have been replaced. Unfortunately, the passenger side drive shaft was crushed...this is where the delay is. The garage can't get a new drive shaft anywhere, apparently they are also on back order at the factory? I have been told an aftermarket option is there, which is also cheaper, but I don't think it would be worth going for a cheap (but major) part? As the engine is apparently running well, once the drive shaft has been replaced, it can then be test driven. The garage advised the gearbox "looks" ok as there are no cracks or leaks. A concern I have is the deep exhaust sound it made at the time, I hope this is just down to the engine being misplaced without damaging the exhaust. As for cost, I'm yet to be told...dreading to know how much all of this will come to! Thanks Dee_82 for that advice. The fact it had to be removed when the timing belt was replaced is a concern...although this was all also done at a Ford garage, I've got a thing where I won't let anyone else do such major work apart from Ford themselves. Who knows, maybe they did screw up but how would I go about proving that? Simcor, thanks for your suggestions. The bolts do look short in the pictures, but I never thought about that at the time. Do you have any examples of what it should look like? To be honest, the intercooler pipe was rattling off something for a week or so before this happened, but that was the only rattling I noticed. However, I did see a small wet patch on top of the rubber where the mount is, looked like oil. I didn't think anything of it, could this be a sign of failure? I have no idea how oil could have got there. TomsFocus, that's exactly what I was thinking...how many problems does this engine have?? :| I hope this is the last of the problems with this car, as I really do love it! I'll be back with an update :)

Engine Collapse - 1.6 TDCI (2010) + pics
A_Jobson posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubJust thought I'd ask if any other Focus owners have had this issue... Basically I was driving about 10-15mph over a those raised rumble strips within a town centre and stopped at traffic lights just after. The engine sounded like it was going to stall and as if I had a boy racer exhaust fitted. I pulled off the road (with some loud scraping and banging sounds), opened the bonnet, only to find the engine had collapsed on the passenger side! The screws are still in the engine mount, but the actual metal appears to have broke off from the engine block? - I'll post pictures later today). It's a Ford Focus 1.6 TDCI 2010, with only 54K miles on the clock. Getting fed up now, had the timing belt changed at 30K as that was about to fail...should a car so young have such problems? Got towed to the local Ford garage and it's now waiting to be looked at tomorrow. Whilst in tow, again those scraping and loud banging noises were even more noticeable. I have no idea what damage this would have caused, or the cost to get it repaired...if it can be repaired at all! Has anyone experienced or heard of this happening?

A_Jobson liked a post in a topic: Where is MAP and Fuel Rail Sensor Mk2.5??
Ahh ok, I had a look last night without removing the scuffle plate, but all I could see was the egr cooler but no sign of any connectors. Do you know which is the MAP sensor? I thought it might be this on the left of the blue cables...
Oh and I've looked at other pictures of the mk2.5 and they don't seem to have the blue cable and two connectors on the left?
Where is MAP and Fuel Rail Sensor Mk2.5??
A_Jobson posted a topic in Ford Focus ClubHey, I was hoping someone could help show me where the MAP and fuel rail sensor is on a mk2.5 1.6 TDCI engine? I think I've located the MAP sensor, but have no idea where the fuel rail sensor is? I've attached a pic of my engine, I hope this helps!
Spider Tuning 30% Off Forum Code
A_Jobson replied to SNC's topic in Ford Focus ClubThe FOC30 code now only takes £75 off the price. This is because they now supply a touch screen device with the tuning box. Is it worth paying £300 for this, or just stick with the mobile app and get it for the 30% off price?
I bet there are a lot of people who don't know this will be repaired for free! So Ford garages will just sort it, minimal questions asked?

usb & music
A_Jobson replied to vickb1987's topic in Ford Focus ClubHi vickb1987, I also have a Ford Focus Sport, mine is 2010. Sometimes the audio doesn't play, you have to skip the track then go back, or turn the radio off then back on after a few seconds. I think it's a bit buggy when using the latest iPhones etc, but it does work via USB only. I hope this helps? A.
Thanks for the pictures, both look pretty good! I'm swaying more towards the darker grey, but it's interesting to see how the Moondust silver looks on the diffuser. Oh and yeah, I have a diesel too. It seems as though the twin exhausts is a must too...I'll add them to the list haha ;) How do they sound on a diesel though?
Hmm, have you got any pictures? I'm really interested to see how that looks :)
Zetec S Rear Diffuser Colour
A_Jobson posted a topic in Ford Modification DiscussionsHi there, I was wondering if anyone knew the colour code for the rear skirt of a Ford Focus Zetec S, with a Moondust Silver body? They seem to be darker than those fitted to the Zetec S in black or blue. I've recently bought the genuine Ford part to fit, but it comes in primer. Help and advice would be much appreciated! :)
How much is that costing though...if you don't mind me asking? :)
Ahh man, was hoping you'd have found a fix haha! Must be a common problem, the last Focus (mk2.5) also had squeaky seats :|
Keep us updated Trev! :)

The Salvation Army serves lunch to National Guard families at Buckley Air Force Base. The event was part of the 140th Wing Family Day for members of the Colorado National Guard. Much of the money raised during the day goes to the Colorado National Guard Family Support System that helps take care of families when their loved ones have been deployed. The Salvation Army was on hand to show their continued support for the armed services.

Dana Thomas House Drying Out, But More Water Works Needed By Amanda Vinicky • Sep 2, 2014 Dana Thomas House Foundation / http://www.dana-thomas.org/About.aspx The Dana Thomas House in Springfield is still drying out, after it was closed because of flooding last Thursday. It's a short-term problem that raises a longer-term concern. The site's manager, Justin Blandford, says the Frank Lloyd Wright designed home is back open to visitors -- though the tours that resumed on Sunday did not go through the basement. Blandford says the home is in a "drying out" period. The situation raises broader concerns about what can be done to better protect and preserve the historic home. Blandford says improvements are needed. Why Illinois Is Cutting Hours At Some Historic Sites, And Sparing Others By Amanda Vinicky • Aug 4, 2014 The Old State Capitol in Springfield is a popular tourist destination - it's where Abraham Lincoln gave his "House Divided" speech, but it will only be open to the public four days a week starting next month. The Illinois Historic Preservation Agency Monday announced that it's scaling back hours at more than a dozen of its sites. Lincoln's New Salem in Petersburg, the former statehouse in Vandalia, and Cahokia Mounds in Collinsville are also affected. Spokesman Chris Wills blames a 20 percent cut in state funding. Jazz Trio Wins Award For Springfield Recording By Associated Press • Jun 5, 2014 Credit http://werticocainandgray.wordpress.com A Chicago-based jazz trio has earned an award for an album recorded live during a performance at a Springfield theater.

It won top honors for a live performance at the annual Independent Music Awards given out on Tuesday. Wertico is a seven-time Grammy Award winner who teaches jazz studies at Roosevelt University in Chicago. He says the performance was 100 percent improvised and came ``spontaneously from the heart.''

Comparing and unifying slope estimates across psychometric function models

The psychometric function relating stimulus intensity to response probability generally presents itself as a monotonically increasing sigmoid profile. Two summary parameters of the function are particularly important as measures of perceptual performance: the threshold parameter, which defines the location of the function over the stimulus axis (abscissa), and the slope parameter, which defines the (local) rate at which response probability increases with increasing stimulus intensity. In practice, the psychometric function may be modeled by a variety of mathematical structures, and the resulting algebraic expression describing the slope parameter may vary considerably between different functions fitted to the same experimental data. This variation often restricts comparisons between studies that select different functions and compromises the general interpretation of slope values. This article reviews the general characteristics of psychometric function models, discusses three strategies for resolving the issue of slope value differences, and presents mathematical expressions for implementing each strategy.

innovation vs invention
The spark of this entry came from a post written by Tomi T Ahonen on the blog Communities Dominate Brands.
In his post, Ahonen blasts Forbes for an article titled, Nokia's Motorola Moment. The crux of his argument is that Forbes has gotten gotten all the facts wrong, and that most of the innovations being credited to Apple and their iPhone were actually introduced by Nokia years before.
To Ahonen's credit, the Forbes article does have holes, and there are generalizations that don't hold up. That being said, I do agree with Forbes that Nokia isn't bringing it's A-game with regard to high-end smartphones. Like Motorola a few years ago, Nokia is being reactive to competitors, rather that being proactive and innovative.
Ahonen's fallacious reasoning stems from his not accepting of this distinction that Professor Jan Fagerberg explained in his 2004 paper, Innovation: A Guide to the Literature:
Invention is the first occurrence of an idea for a new product or process. Innovation is the first commercialization of the idea.
In a tirade tinged with hostility, Ahonen provides example after example of Nokia being first to introduce various features on mobile devices – equating 'being the first' to 'innovators':
Forbes claims clearly that Nokia is lagging in innovation compared to Apple's iPhone. Now, the current iPhone 3GS is yes, a very impressive smartphone. Lets look at a few of the innovations we witnessed in this newest model, one month ago? Compared with the iPhone 3G from a year ago, the "innovative" 3GS upgraded its camera to 3 megapixels. Nokia is clearly not as innovative, as Nokia's first 3 megapixel cameraphone (and yes, smartphone) was released in 2006. The 3GS now added video recording ability to the camera feature of its phone. When did Nokia's (smartphone) cameraphones all incorporate this "innovative" ability? in 2004. Apple now offers video recording at 30 frames per second at so-called DVD quality. First Nokia smartphone to have 30 fps DVD quality video recording came out in 2006. The 3GS added MMS picture messaging support in 2009. Nokia's cameraphones have all been MMS compliant at least since 2003 (proabably 2002, I don't remember exactly). Apple added Autofocus in 2009. Nokia had autofocus early in 2007.
What Ahonen is clearly not understanding is that more and better features do not mean innovation. Was Nokia the first to have many of the featured mentioned? Absolutely. Did they innovate within the mobile space with these features? No. They might have invented or pioneered with particular technologies, but they did not innovate.
Fagerberg explains this lag between invention and innovation:
Sometimes invention and innovation are closely linked, to the extent that it is hard to distinguish one from another …In many cases, however, there is a considerable time lag between the two. In fact a lag of several decades or more is not uncommon (Rogers 1995). Such lags reflect the different requirements for working out ideas and carrying them out in practice. First of all, while inventions may be carried out anywhere such as, for instance, in universities, innovations occur mostly in firms in the commercial sphere. To be able to turn an invention into an innovation a firm normally needs to combine several different types of knowledge, capabilities, skills and resources.
What Nokia is failing to provide is a unified Human Experience that brings together messaging, maps, email and web browsing and effortless application purchasing and downloading – something that marks Apple's iPhone as a true innovation in mobile computing. The iPhone continues to lack certain features that some people consider necessities, but what is does do, it does so amazing well.
At this point in the history of technology, its pointless to compete on features alone. My universal remote for my cable TV has every button imaginable on it, but that doesn't make it innovative. And conversely, just because Twitter has none of the features available on Facebook doesn't make it any less of the innovation in communication it's proving to be.
I won't break down each place Ahonen misses the mark in his argument, but suffice to say he goes on and on with examples of Nokia having bigger screens first on their phones, being the first to have an mobile application store (Ovi), the size of Nokia's app store being bigger and on and on with precedents made by Nokia. But let's remember Fagerberg's 'lag' quote from above. Invention doesn't mean innovation.
And no matter how matter how many features a Nokia phone might have under the hood, they're pointless without an easy and innovative way to access them.
UPDATE: I just remembered another 'first' for Nokia – gaming on mobile devices with their N-GAGE. Another example of pioneering, but not innovating. Once again, the innovation awards goes to Apple with their SDK, App Store and integrated accelerometer all wrapped up in an easy to use system.
Jor-El keeping it real
You will travel far, my little Kal-El. But we will never leave you… even in the face of our death. The richness of our lives shall be yours. All that I have, all that I've learned, everything I feel… all this, and more, I… I bequeath you, my son. You will carry me inside you, all the days of your life. You will make my strength your own, and see my life through your eyes, as your life will be seen through mine. The son becomes the father, and the father the son. This is all I… all I can send you, Kal-El.

having the vision
This past Wednesday TechCrunch received a zip archive of over 300 of Twitter's internal strategy documents. TechCrunch founder, Michael Arrington, pondered what to do about this 'dillemma'.
Prominent Mac blogger, John Gruber reacted to this on his site, Daring Fireball, "What you may ask, is the dilemma, since it is clear that any decent human being would simply refuse to have anything to do with something so lurid?"
Then on Thursday, TechCrunch went ahead and published some details from the documents. They didn't include what were supposedly embarrassing details about Twitter employees. Some would consider this approach the least sleezy way to handle the private documents and others would say it's just journalism.
But that's not what I want to focus on in this post. The information is now public and I'm not going to act like it doesn't exist.
I'm interested in vision and it's clear that Biz Stone has it. This is from a strategy meeting on February 25, 2009:
If we had a billion users, that will be the pulse of the planet.
and from a March 13, 2009 management meeting:
Can we do to google what google has done to others?
When I see statements like that, it reaffirms my believe that many, many people are underestimating what Twitter is, and what Twitter could become.
It's easy to dismiss Twitter as a platform for narcissists, Millennials, and creepy stalkers. To do so is to miss the point. It's about communication. That's really it. Simple communication. And in a world where we're being increasingly inundated with technology and mobile devices, platforms like Twitter are starting to look more and more appealing as a means to communicate.
I recently deactivated my Facebook account and in hindsight, I realized that Twitter was Facebook without the extra baggage (I tweeted that moment of realization).
When you combine a service as easy to use and far-reaching as Twitter with visionary leadership, big things happen (good and bad). Goals of wanting to become the 'pulse of the planet' give me chills and bring to mind co-founder of Google, Larry Page's goals at Stanford when he told his professor (I'm paraphrasing) he wanted to download the entire Internet to his laptop. His professor thought he was nuts and that the goal was impossible.
I'm sure people are saying the same thing about Twitter.

find Bill Gates a browser!
CNet interviewed Bill Gates this week and got his comments on Google's Chrome OS.
Gates gets all ontological and shit on the web browser and browser-ness:
It just shows the word browser has become a truly meaningless word …What's a browser? What's not a browser? If you're playing a movie, is that a browser or not a browser? If you're doing annotations, is that a browser? If you're editing text, is that a browser or not a browser? In large part, it's more an abuse of terminology than a real change.
Gates's confusion on what a browser is and isn't could explain a lot of things about where Microsoft is. It could explain why their own Internet Explorer Browser continues to lose ground to Firefox, Safari and Chrome.
Microsoft is still very much rooted in an 80's engineer mindset with a thorough lack of focus on design and usability. As we watch the world of software continue to evolve – in the browser and on mobile devices we find Microsoft in continual 'catch up' mode.
The same holds true for multi-touch. I have yet to see any noteworthy Surface applications that aren't internal prototypes (And please oh please, no more demos of people pinching and spreading virtual polaroids or using PC Paintbrush with their fingers).
All of this unnovation comes despite spending over $9 billion each year on R&D.
Apple pulls an 'iTunes' on AT&T
Craig Moffett from Bernstein Research on the iPhone-AT&T relationship (via ZDNet):
Apple has radically tilted the strategic playing field away from the network operator in favor of the device manufacturer …Remarkably, Apple has so thoroughly stolen the customer relationship – who would argue that Apple iPhone customers' first affinity is to the device rather than to the network – that the network is not only irrelevant, it is rather a source of derision.
Apple's direct-to-consumer end run around the wireless industry is in many ways simply a repeat of its brilliant negotiation with the music industry at the dawn of iTunes back in 2001. Less than a decade later, Apple has managed to capture considerable value from the music industry as it sells ever more iPods.
This isn't a new discovery, but I love how long it takes big business to see the error in their ways.
I also hate the irony in the fact that the 'phone' part of the iPhone is the weakest link in my owning an iPhone.
1a space
The Media Arc
names are important
So Google has a browser called Chrome, and they've decided to call their new operating system Chrome as well.
Gizmodo responsed to this today, 'Android, Chrome OS Relationship Confusing Everyone, Including Google'.
John Gruber responds more specifically to the wack-ass nomenclature:
A web browser is very different from an OS, even if the OS only runs the browser. Google themselves recently conducted a survey that suggests that most regular people do not understand at all what a "web browser" is. If regular people are confused about what a browser is, it's a good bet they're even more confused about what an "OS" is. Calling them both "Chrome" isn't going to help clarify the matter.
This reminds me of Amazon's recent 'Kindle' iPhone app.
Wait, I thought that white, e-ink device on my desk was a Kindle? Now, if I don't have a Kindle, I can still have a Kindle (on my iPhone)?
his space, my space, everyone's iPhone space
Last week Michael Surtees wrote a post on how he organizes his iPhone home screen.
It wasn't long after I bought my iPhone that I too started to organize my home screen based on my usage patterns. Over the last year and half my usage patterns have shifted slightly as new applications have become available but overall I've remained fairly consistent (see my original post from July 2008 for reference).
One of the biggest changes I made was getting rid of most of the webpage links from my home screen(s) and putting them in my bookmarks list within Safari. It used to be a novelty to have all these sparkly little webpage icons on my screen, but as I've acquired more and more apps, I've become more utilitarian and conservative with what I deem worthy of a spot on my home screen.
So In response to Surtees, I've mapped my iPhone space. Unlike Surtees, I organize icons in orbits, with the bottom left-hand corner being the nucleus and where my 'clicking thumb' sits (I write right-handed but I do a lot of things with my left hand). Similar to him though, I'm less strict with my second and third home screens.
where to get off the subway
At some point, yes, there will be an iPhone app for everything.
Add Exit Strategy to the list of 'Things People Used to Do With Their Own Brains'.
Makes me think about all the things I use to rely on myself for – remembering peoples' phone numbers, knowing the order of songs on CDs (and playing CDs through), and soon, where to best position myself on subway cars.
I can't say my life is simpler or more complex with technology. Nor can I say it's better or worse.
Just thinking out loud.

Mass layoffs in March
May 01, 2003
Employers initiated 1,170 mass layoff actions in March 2003. Each action involved at least 50 persons from a single establishment, and the number of workers involved totaled 109,838.
Compared with March 2002, the number of layoff events declined by 20 percent and the number of workers involved fell by 32 percent. (March 2003 contained 4 weeks for possible mass layoffs, compared with 5 weeks in each March of the prior 3 years.)
From January through March 2003, the total number of events, at 4,767, and initial claims, at 450,312, were lower than the January-March 2002 levels of 4,989 and 564,141, respectively.
These data are from the Mass Layoff Statistics program. Mass layoffs data for February and March 2003 are preliminary and subject to revision. For more information, see news release USDL 03-201, "Mass Layoffs in March 2003" (PDF) (TXT).

The 2010 season was a breakthrough campaign for the Skyview girls soccer team. Not only did the Storm win a state playoff game for the first time, they won a couple before losing a penalty-kick tiebreaker in the Class 4A state semifinals.
The 2011 Storm would like to take the next step. While Skyview graduated a group of seniors who had played three and four years for the Storm, there is a confidence at Skyview that comes from those state successes.
And, there is still talent. Four Skyview seniors plan on playing college soccer.
In addition to Arizona-bound Sheaffer Skadsen, midfielder Becca Sikora (Portland State), winger Cassie Ripley (Central Washington), and defender Amanda Bristow (Southern Oregon) have made college commitments.
"We have a lot of individual talent on the team," Bristow said. "Once we learn to mesh together, we can go far."
Skyview, ranked No. 6 in Class 4A by the Seattle Times, has a veteran back line and a senior goalkeeper, Hannah Johnson, who was voted second-team all-state last year.
Injuries have cut into the roster. Ripley, Skyview's second leading scorer in 2010, suffered a torn ACL playing club soccer on July and will miss her senior season. She has friends who have suffered the same injury, which is a common one for girls in soccer, and said those friends have been supportive and encouraging. It helps that the coach at Central Washington has stayed committed to Ripley.
"I've learned that there is life outside of soccer," Ripley said, admitting that it is tough to watch her teammates in action. During games, she tries to focus on the game as if she was a part of it.
What she sees is plenty of potential.
"We still have a really strong core to our team. I think we'll go just as far — or farther (than in 2010)."
The seniors who will lead this Skyview team said that among the lessons they learned during last season is the value of patience and persistence.
"One key is being patient and waiting for (chemistry) to develop," Sikora said. "In time, we will become a better team together."
Time is relative, though. At best, if they make it back to the final four, the seniors have two more months of high school for soccer.
For those, including goalkeeper Johnson, who don't plan to play college soccer, there is motivation to keep playing as long as possible.
"We did it last year," Johnson said, "and we know the feeling so we'd like to (reach the final four) again."

Colgate Sensitive Pro-Relief Whitening Toothpaste 75ml
Product Description
An exclusive Pro-Argin™ formula with a new technology that dental professionals use on their patients to provide sensitivity relief.
How does Colgate® Sensitive Pro Relief™ + Whitening work?
Most other sensitive toothpastes primarily numb the pain
Colgate® Sensitive Pro Relief™ + Whitening works by plugging the channels that lead to sensitive tooth nerves, to block the pain
With regular use, it builds a long-lasting protective barrier that acts like a seal against sensitivity
Its low abrasive formula gently effectively removes stains, helping to restore the natural whiteness of your teeth
Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief™ Whitening
Tooth sensitivity is never fun, especially when it is caused by your favourite food and drink, be it hot, cold, sweet or acidic.
Many adults in Britain suffer from tooth sensitivity. The condition occurs when enamel erosion and gum recession expose thousands of channels that lead to the tooth's nerve centre. When you drink something cold, hot, sweet or acidic, sensations are carried down these channels causing pain.
Common causes
Tooth sensitivity is not uncommon and can result from many factors, some more obvious than others. You might want to look out for the following:
Gum recession: the exposure in the roots of the teeth is a common problem in adults over the age of 40
Brushing incorrectly: Improper brushing can damage your gum tissue.
Abrasive toothpaste: This can cause enamel to thin and reveal the dentine underneath.
Acidic beverages: Fizzy drinks and even fruit juices can cause heavy enamel erosion.
Gum disease: Gums can become swollen, sore or infected which can lead to gum recession.
A chipped or fractured tooth: Usually characterised by a sharp pain due to biting pressure.
How Pro-Argin™ can help
Ordinary toothpastes work by numbing the pain. However, pain triggers can still reach the nerves via the open tubules in teeth. Pro-Argin™ plugs and seals dentine tubules, which helps block pain triggers to deliver instant* and lasting relief.
Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief™ Whitening is clinically proven to provide instant* relief and lasting protection from tooth sensitivity - there is no other product which is more effective. The toothpaste contains arginine, a naturally-occurring amino acid, which, when combined with Calcium Carbonate, blocks and seals the microscopic channels that lead to your tooth nerve centre. Colgate® Sensitive Pro-Relief™ Whitening also helps to restore the natural whiteness of your teeth.
*When applied to each sensitive tooth for one minute
Receding gums and damage to your enamel can expose thousands of microscopic channels which lead to your tooth's nerve centre. When your teeth make contact with something hot, cold or sweet, sensations are carried down these channels directly to the nerves, causing pain. These exposed areas of the teeth can also be prone to discoloration.

Causes more sensitivity
I use most of the Pro range and find this the worst. If you have sensitive teeth then this will make it worse, I've bought it a couple if times to make sure it wasn't just a one off but after using it for 72 hours my teeth are in pain

great toothpaste, bad packaging
This toothpaste is great - works a treat on my sensitive teeth - but the tube is terrible. It's hard to squeeze out and the cap has a funny catch on it that makes it stick. It's not a huge deal but when you're rushing in the morning or tired in the evening it's these little things that grate. I bought Oral B sensitive and the easier cap suddenly seemed amazing.

Very effective pain relief, rather expensive
I too was given a sample of this by my dentist after he could not identify the cause of my niggling tooth-ache on an x-ray. Since the first use the pain has gone using twice a day. Worth the price I suppose, but I have deducted a star for the high price.

Best toothpaste for sensitive teeth
I was having trouble with one of my teeth and my dentist gave me a sample of this toothpaste which I found much more effective than the one I had been using up to that point. I have now switched to this one and have not been disappointed.

I think the other reviewer may have had an odd one. We have been using this for a few months now instead of Sensodyne and it as soft and freeflowing as any other toothpaste.

BELLAIRE - When Jose Davis was considering taking over the St. John Central football program, there was a bit of trepidation at the outset.
''I remember my first team meeting,'' Davis recalled Sunday. ''Myself and Ty Masciarelli were sitting there with kids, with me giving a look like 'wowzers.' ... It was, 'is this really what we want to get into doing?'
''It's like anything. People thought I was nuts.
Article Photos
Things are looking up at St. John Central, both on and off the field. The latest development is the building of this fieldhouse at the Irish Youth Sports Complex.
''But this is the way it usually happens. You don't walk into a program with 10 Division-I recruits running around.''
Fast forward several months and the vision Davis had, with tons of help from Jeff Paolina, is suddenly much clearer. The Irish are set to have 33 team members this fall, and the new fieldhouse that is going up at the Irish Youth Sports Complex is the biggest shining example of the commitment that is being put forth.
''The funny thing is, it has been in the process well before me,'' Davis said. ''Once I started meeting with them and was thinking about taking the job, that was one of the biggest things for me.
''I'm very shocked at our (quick) progress right now.''
The fieldhouse, when completed, will be roughly 4,000 square feet and it will sit adjacent to the school's football field. It will include a weight room, a home locker room, meeting rooms, public restrooms and some storage space, and it's believed at some point it will be a two-story facility.
''Having the ability to work out and walk right onto field is huge. I have never had that,'' Davis said. ''The frame is pretty much complete and the shell will be up this year, so we'll have an actual place to go and sit down at halftime of games.
''Now, that's ours. We don't have to bus to the school and get dressed and have halftime in a tent. That's not a knock on them, but that's junior high-ish."
More than all of those things though, the building of the fieldhouse simultaneously signifies the rebirth of a once-proud program.
''I met with the football moms one of the first months I was here and let them know, trust me, trust in what I am doing and I will never put your kid in position to be in danger,'' Davis said. ''I told them I am going to be yelling at their kids sometimes, but believe me when I say I am doing it because I expect great things from them and I love them. When I stop yelling at them, that is when you should be worried.
''I told them 'you guys are just as important as I am, because everyone at home must be preaching the same thing we are here.'
''As it has come along month to month, we're seeing the difference. We're such a different team from May, and from the beginning of July.''
A lot of that credit, Davis said, goes to Paolina.
''Think about what it took for him to hand me the keys,'' Davis said of the former coach who stepped aside so he could take control. ''Anything I have needed he has been there for me. All he cares about is St. John, and he realizes either it gets turned around or the doors close.
''Jeff is a businessman and he doesn't want half a million dollars tied into a football field that has no team.''
One of perhaps the most overlooked impacts on the immediate future of the Fighting Irish was Davis recently leading Ohio to a victory against West Virginia in the Rudy Mumley OVAC Football Game.
''Some kids had never seen me coach. They had seen the stuff we have wanted to do in weight room, but they had never seen in action,'' Davis said.
''It's been pretty cool."

Pedicabs predominantly pedal tourists around the Mall. The increasing numbers and popularity have led to increased scrutiny.
Now the mayor is stepping in. He wants to require pedicabs to get regular brake checks and provide passengers with seatbelts.
"I actually do have seatbelts on my pedicab so actually I think the mayor is proposing a good thing," said Alexander Lesiak, a predicab driver.
Several pedicab passengers also agreed that seatbelts are a good thing in pedicabs.
But some operators say it's getting harder to be a pedicab operator. Last weekend, a group of pedicab drivers for into a confrontation which led to one driver getting shocked by a Taser.
Park police said they're just cracking down on a behavior that's becoming a problem on the National Mall.

Pele says Brazil has spent billions unwisely in preparing for the World Cup.
Pele says Brazil has spent billions unwisely in preparing for the World Cup.
Speaking at Anahuac University in Mexico City, the soccer great says he sides with those protesting the big spending, but he also is troubled by the violence.
Brazil is spending about $11 billion overall on the World Cup and $4 billion alone on 12 new and refurbished stadiums.
"It's clear that politically speaking, the money spent to build the stadiums was a lot, and in some cases was more than it should have been," Pele said.
- Seattle's vanishing black community
- Bellevue School District seeks to fire football coach Goncharoff over scandal
- Boeing tankers will be delivered to Air Force late — and incomplete
- Paul Allen ends KEXP's yearslong fundraising drive with $500,000 donation
- A six-pack of observations from Seahawks' OTAs: Justin Britt, Alex Collins, Tharold Simon and more

He said "some of this money could have been invested in schools, in hospitals. … Brazil needs it. That's clear. On that point, I agree (with the protests). But I lament what protesters are doing, which is breaking and burning everything. It's money that we will have to spend again."
Pele, who helped Brazil win three of its five World Cups, criticized the late preparations of stadiums and said the confusion was likely to keep tourists away.
"We already know that 25 percent of foreigners who are going to Brazil (for the World Cup) are worried about this movement (protests), and I think they have even canceled (their trip). So this is a great loss for the country," he said Monday.
The 73-year-old Pele was particularly critical of the stadium in Sao Paulo, the venue for the opening match between Brazil and Croatia on June 12. Officials acknowledged last week that a portion of the roof won't be completed until after the World Cup ends July 13.
"The first match is going to be in the Corinthians stadium in Sao Paulo, which is called Itaquerao," he said. "But there's a problem because it's not finished yet. That's what I say is regrettable. That's a problem."
Several other stadiums are also still being finished with the World Cup just more than three weeks away.

Monday training camp report
LT Marshall Newhouse has opened training camp doing just what coach Mike McCarthy always wants to see from second-year players. He has taken a performance jump. In the first two days of no pads, Newhouse showed the gracefulness and sweet feet that led GM Ted Thompson to draft him in the fifth round from Texas Christian last year. In pads Monday night, Newhouse also displayed some of the toughness that he didn't show last summer.
In a very physical one-on-one run blocking session, Newhouse took care of linebackers Brad Jones and Ricky Elmore in his two turns. In team drills, Newhouse kept his back flat, his pads down and came off hard in the run game. Pass blocking was Newhouse's forte as a three-year starter at LT. In the one-on-one's, Newhouse made it look easy in compiling a 3-0 record, decisioning Jones, Elmore and DE C.J. Wilson. Newhouse has gotten almost all the reps because Chad Clifton is easing his way into camp.
A year ago, Newhouse spent the first two weeks of camp at left guard and looked out of place. He just didn't seem to have the horsepower to anchor inside. Maybe he could with a year of additional physical maturity. If no one surfaces in the hunt for Daryn Colledge's successor, Newhouse might get a crack. But based on three days of practice, Newhouse is a left tackle with promise.
This is hardly an indictment of top pick Derek Sherrod. It was the coaches' decision to thrust him in with the No. 1 offense at left guard even though he had been a left tackle throughout his career at Mississippi State. Plus, Sherrod has had to play about 20% at left tackle in the first three days compared to 80% at left guard.
But it's a results business, and right now Sherrod is struggling big time.
First, Sherrod found himself matched against Clay Matthews in the heat of the run-blocking drill and got trashed. He was better on his other turn against free agent JamariLattimore. In the pass-pro drill, Sherrod beat B.J. Raji, Elmore and NT Jay Ross before getting beat up the field by Lattimore.
Most of his problems came in team drills, where Raji slipped by him for what would have been a pair of sacks.
Sitting out were TE Andrew Quarless (hip), G Adrian Battles (Achilles), G Theo Sherman (ankle), DE Chris Donaldson (unspecified), DE Eli Joseph (hamstring) and LB Diyral Briggs (hamstring). Limited to individual drills were TE Jermichael Finley (knee), DE Mike Neal (shoulder) and S Morgan Burnett (knee).
ROLB Jones got his turn with the starting defense, following Frank Zombo (Saturday) and Erik Walden (Sunday). Walden looked powerful in the one-on-one's.
Tim Masthay punted six times against a rush, averaging 47.3 yards and 4.15 seconds of hang time.
McCarthy praised the work of RB Alex Green on kickoffs when asked what WR Randall Cobb had to do to win both return jobs.
Free agent Ray Dominguez is working as the No. 3 right tackle behind Bryan Bulaga and Chris Campbell. In the one-on-one's, the Arkansas rookie went 0-3 against Matthews, Walden and DE Lawrence Guy. It was a brutal debut. Based on first impressions, he's a guard.
Offensive coordinator Joe Philbin, the club's O-line coach in McCarthy's first year, is spending much of the first hour of practice in hands-on coaching of the unit. JamesCampen and Joel Hilgenberg are the O-line coaches.
The 1,500 seats at Nitschke Field were jammed about 15 minutes before the 7 p.m. start. Fans were lined up five deep in the end zones trying to catch a glimpse.
WR Diondre Borel, a three-year starter at quarterback for Utah State, is making a rapid adjustment. Obviously, he can do a lot of things.
There is no practice Tuesday. The next practice is at 7 p.m. Wednesday (pads).

but would Gallas be satisfied with a mere £45,000 per week. This is our max wage at the moment.This is why we went for Curtis davies, You're rught, gardener is unreliable (though he had a good game against Bolton) and we'll see about Davenport.

Blood Unsimple
LAST THURSDAY ASSISTANT Health Secretary Philip Lee announced the formation of a Blood Safety Council composed of the government's highest-level doctors to monitor the nation's blood supply. Blood. Important stuff.
It was on a Thursday last July when the austere Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences issued a long-awaited report on the nation's blood products that concluded "the absence of incentives, as well as the lack of a countervailing force to advocate blood product safety, contributed to the plasma fractionation industry's slow rate of progress."
The reason for all this imposing commotion is that over a dozen years ago leading drug companies--in concert with the Reagan health bureaucracy, a supposed watchdog organization, and with the participation of leading gay organizations--lied to the nation's hemophiliacs and wound up killing a majority of them. They said there was nothing wrong with the blood products hemophiliacs required long after they knew those products were pumping HIV to thousands of unaware victims. And they said donors didn't need to be screened for HIV at any of the blood collection centers. (In Japan and France those responsible for covering up a similarly contaminated blood supply were tracked down, and many were jailed.)
The story of one of those infected hemophiliacs, Mike Schaub, was told in City Pages on February 22. Schaub had fought off hepatitis, pneumonia, fullblown AIDS, CMV and countless drug reactions for five years. He had the kind of raw toughness that kept him from being anybody's poster boy and probably made him a long-term survivor.
And finally, last Thursday, in the early morning hours, Mike Schaub gave it up peacefully after a much tougher fight than most of us can possibly imagine or than he ever deserved.

How different is this to WDW? would i be really disapointed that i hadn't gone to WDW? what other parks are there? how many days to do the 2 disney parks? thanks
Well I went prepared last year or so I thought and I was still shocked by how small the castle is and how much smaller everything at DL is. It is not WDW by a long shot. It's still fun and it's the original. The weather is perfect and the CM's seem a whole lot nicer. The other park is California Adventure. it's weird to see things you find in some of the WDW parks just shoved into DL.
We are off there for the thirs time in just under three weeks and we love it there. I would go you have nothing to lose.
Yes! Been to WDW twice.
There's knotts berry farm, six flags magic mountain, Universal Studios which are all theme parks. Lots of things to do just depends on what you like to do really.
I really enjoyed Universal Studios in CA, but it's been ages and I mean ages since I was there!


text: There is a program on running utilizes a service to connect to a special USB device. If the application terminates then it leaves the service running. When the program is run again then it fails to connect to its hardware. I have noticecd that if I manually terminate the service and then run the program, then it restarts the service and always connects to the hardware. I have told the manufacturer for this problem, but as a temporary workaround I want to launch the program using a bat file and when it terminates, the bat file will stop the service. Can anyone please help? Thanks

Look at the picture. Notice what's missing? Not a single logo from a single manufacturer.
Instead, this new data is filled entirely with the funky-looking custom servers and other hardware that Facebook designed itself with its game-changing Open Compute Project.
Facebook, via the OCP, gives away those designs for free to any enterprise that wants to build "vanity free" hardware, meaning super fast servers without a lot of bells, whistles, and design waste.
The OCP project is about two years old now and it has become a phenom that has grown far beyond Facebook and far beyond servers. OCP is also tackling storage and network gear.
Facebook's ultimate goal is to do for hardware what Linux did for software: create open source hardware where users are calling the shots, not just hardware vendors.
The Luleå data center is cool for another reason. It's 100% powered by renewable hydro-electric energy.
