Pakistan targets militants, Shiites end protest
QUETTA, Pakistan Thousands of Shiite Muslims ended three days of protests in southwestern Pakistan on Tuesday after the government launched a paramilitary operation against militants responsible for a weekend bombing targeting the minority sect that killed 89 people.
The protesters in Quetta, the capital of Baluchistan province, began preparations to bury the bombing victims after Shiite leaders announced an end to the demonstration. Relatives had refused to bury their loved ones until the army took control of Quetta and launched a targeted operation against Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, the group that claimed responsibility for Saturday's bombing.
Shiites have criticized police and paramilitary forces under control of the Interior Ministry in Quetta for failing to protect the minority sect, which comprises up to 20 percent of the country's population of 180 million.
There was no indication the army would take control of the city. But the government announced that paramilitary forces began an operation against Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and other militant groups Monday night.
Four members of Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, including a senior commander, were killed in a shootout Tuesday, and over 170 other suspected militants were arrested, said Baluchistan's home secretary, Akbar Hussain Durrani.
The government also replaced the top police officer in Baluchistan on Tuesday, said Fayaz Sumbal, deputy police chief in Quetta. Sumbal has also been ordered to replace the chief of police operations in Quetta, he said.
"Our demands have been accepted," a top Shiite leader in Quetta, Amin Shaheedi, told reporters after holding talks with a government delegation sent from Islamabad. "We appeal to our people to go to their homes in a peaceful manner."
It remains to be seen what impact the government's actions will have on the problem of sectarian violence in Quetta. Suspected militants are notoriously difficult to prosecute in Pakistan, and it's unclear if the operation against Lashkar-e-Jhangvi and others will be sustained.
Radical Sunni militants have stepped up attacks against Shiites over the past year because they do not consider them to be real Muslims. Violence has been especially bad in Baluchistan province, which has the highest concentration of Shiites in the country. A double bombing at a billiards hall in January in Quetta killed 86 people.
Pakistan has launched numerous military operations against militants in recent years, but the focus has been on the Pakistani Taliban, who have been waging a bloody insurgency against the state that has killed thousands of people.
Rights organizations have criticized the government for not doing enough to target militant groups attacking Shiites. They explain this apathy by pointing to past connections between the country's military and anti-Shiite militants, and also allege the sectarian groups are seen as less of a threat than the Taliban because they are not targeting the state. Political parties have also relied on banned sectarian groups to deliver votes in elections.
The four Lashkar-e-Jhangvi militants killed Tuesday in a suburb of Quetta included Shah Wali, a senior commander involved in attacking Shiites and police officials, said Durrani, the home secretary. Others included Abdul Wahab, a key planner and recruiter; Naeem Khan, a logistics expert who provided explosives; and Anwar Khan, a rank and file militant, said Durrani.
Seven other Lashkar-e-Jhangvi militants were arrested in the operation Tuesday, said Durrani. The more than 170 suspected militants arrested earlier included Haji Mohammed Rafiq, a prominent member of another Sunni extremist organization, Ahle Sunnat Waljamaat, said the home secretary.
Pakistani Prime Minister Raja Pervaiz Ashraf first announced the operation in a statement issued by his office Tuesday that said it "aimed at eliminating those responsible for playing with lives of innocent civilians and restoring peace and security in Quetta."
Last year was the bloodiest in history for Pakistan's Shiites, according to Human Rights Watch. Over 400 were killed in targeted attacks across the country, at least 125 of whom were died in Baluchistan.

"Is the plane meant to tip this much?"
It's a good question. You haven't been on a plane for several years, and you find yourself struggling to remember. Last time, you recollect, you'd had substantially more sleep during the flight and substantially fewer crayons lost in and around your chair. Coming on holiday with your best friend Flora had seemed like a great idea when she'd suggested it, and you'd jumped at the chance. You didn't really stop and consider the fact that these days she had two pre-school children.
However, as it had been neither Jeremy or Michella pestering you with the question about the angle at which your plane was coming in to land, and especially as the question didn't begin with the word "why," you feel that you should probably respond.
"Oh, yeah, it's fine. I've done this loads of times. I thought the same thing at first... but this is coMPLETELy normal."
You're not a big fan of raising your voice most of the time, but when it's a choice between raising your voice or not getting the end of your sentence out because of several tyres screeching as they hit a runway, it's an easy decision.
Flora and her offspring are no less excitable during the 20 minute transfer from the airport to your hotel on peaceful, tropical Summer Island. At times the bus lurches and veers so much you feel as though you're back in the air. And along some of the island's less-well-kept streets, you'd have been right. You half expect Flora to return to asking whether the angles at which your vehicle is tipping are safe and this time you don't think you could reassure her with the same look of conviction.
By the time you arrive at the hotel, you're exhausted, and you're in two minds as to whether you should make the most of the remaining few hours of the day and head to the beach with the three others or whether to make the most of the hotel room you've been allocated.
You decide to get some shut-eye in the hotel for a few hours.
The Cubert Badbone Theme Room
You desert Flora and the kids and head over to your room. Strangely enough, you discover that Flora booked the Cubert Badbone theme room, meaning that everything, including the TV, is black and white.
"Oh well," you mutter to yourself. "It could be worse. We could have gotten the Out of Order theme room, after all." (Although the Out of Order room is in colour, everything in the room is, you guessed it, out of order.)
You then drop your bags on the floor and climb up on the Baked Potato-shaped bed, closing your eyes.
You decide to begin a silly-yet-scary dream sequence.
The Dream
You fall asleep quickly. Seems you were exhausted from the trip.
Once asleep, you start to dream of weird, unsignificant things, like flying tomatoes that rule the world, vegetables hanging in a room, booting up DOS on a Linux computer... and more wackiness that happens in 'Trevor and the Haunted Tomato'.
After a long sleep you wake up again, and you wonder what it all meant. Then you look at the clock - Hey, it's twelve o'clock! You must have been REALLY exhausted.
You look for Flora and the kids, but you can't find them. You head down to the reception room to ask the receptionist if she'd seen them, but you get a 'no' answer. Strange... They wouldn't just go out and have fun without you...
You decide to look for Flora and the kiddo's.
Stupid Lame Ending
And then you explode. The end.
You decide to kill Sunrise for making you explode.
The sunrise
The sun rises and you shoot it as soon as it comes up, knowing it won't make a good contribution to the story.
Now you decide to go look for Flora. Where should you start off though?
Nobody's written what happens next. How about another random story?

I'll admit, I'm a n00b to 29'ers, so be gentle here. Not even trying to do this, it's more a FYI question.
Just bought a Gary Fisher Kaitai ( http://www.fisherbikes.com/bike/model/kaitai ) last week to use as a commuter, and I know it's essentially a 29'er frame, and certainly has the clearance for a lot more tire than the 700c x 38 WTB' Interwolfs it has on it. I'm actually looking to knock the 38's down to 35's or 32's to decrease rolling resistance even more, since it primarily sees just pavement duty. I have a hardtail MTB for the harder stuff and a Lemond for when I feel loke playing arrogant roadie snob.
Question that I have regards the wheels.. 700c's use a 622mm rim, but it appears that the 29'ers do also. Are they essentially the same rims and the nomenclature comes from the overall tire sizing?
Only reason I ask is that I like the option to put a real fork on the Kaitai and larger tires and I have a "true" 29'er should I decide at a later date not to use it for commuting duty.

"Sea kayaking near Gustavus, Alaska" Alaska Travelogue by 6mirror
Alaska Travel Guide: 7,084 reviews and 15,575 photos
Captain Doug off loaded us and our gear after taking us across Icy Strait in his homemade fishing boat from Gustavus AK to Point Adolphus.
Kaitlyn was a skilled and very personable guide, knowledgeable of marine life, local history, geography, a fount of information and personal anecdotes, as she led us along the coastline of this island in search of migrating humpback whales further offshore. We also saw bald eagles in shoreline trees and on the rocky beaches and a variety of sea birds.
We were in a tandem sea kayak paddling behind Kaitlyn in her single kayak. At one point we became surrounded by Stellar sea lions who are huge! Much bigger than the California sea lions that we've seen nearer to home. One of these guys, the bigger one, became somewhat aggressive and we had to skeddaddle quick!
During this all day trip, we paddled along the shoreline searching for signs of whales migrating. We managed to see at least 2 pods passing by at some distance but still visible even in the rain, and it did rain throughout the day with brief clearings.
In our tandem sea kayak.
Captain Doug picked us up at the end of the day during a heavy storm. The storm and wind whipped up tall swells with whitecaps. His sturdy little homemade boat surged along on an exhilarating E ride!
Unbelievable ride!
Later, we learned from Aimee, our B&B host who arranged this trip for us, that the townsfolk doubted whether California ladies were even going to follow through with the kayaking plans on such a stormy day, and were impressed at the spunk we showed when we did!

The cafeteria staff at Cramerton Middle School serves hundreds of students each day. Thelma Franklin, an integral part of the staff, lost her battle with cancer Feb. 16. She was aided in her fight by a multitude of loving students, staff and co-workers. Thelma spent 14 years doing what she loved best, making people smile.
Working the register each day, Thelma always had a smile or a hug for everyone whocame through the line. When word got out that Thelma was sick, there was an outpouring of love from the Cramerton Middle School community that was a simple return of the love that she�d shown so many for all of those years.
The staff and students rallied to her side with words of encouragement and financial aid through a variety of fundraisers to help ease her burdens. One such activity was �Thelma Week� during which student were allowed to show their support by donating $1 per day to be able to wear hats as Thelma was wearing one during her chemotherapy treatments.
In discussions after Thelma�s passing, her co-workers used phrases such as �inspiring, hard-working, strong-willed and generous� just to name a few. There were also recollections of many times over the years where Thelma would take money out of her pocket to help pay for a student�s meal. Acts of selflessness were common with Thelma, and those acts touched everyone around her.
It�s often said that the impact of one�s life can be measured by the attendance at their memorial service. I was in attendance that night with my son, along with dozens of other parents there with their children to pay last respects to a lady who brought joy to so many over the years. At one point, the line reached the door, filled with current and former students and staff. Toward the end of the service, the boys and girls basketball teams, along with the cheerleaders, arrived in uniform to pay tribute.
There will never be another Thelma Franklin and Cramerton Middle School will never be the same without her. Those who were fortunate enough to know her will forever cherish the memories that this wonderful and inspiring woman leaves behind as a legacy.
Jody Bingham is a parent of a child at Cramerton Middle School.

The Test Mess
Published: April 7, 2002
(Page 6 of 8)
In virtually every state that has both an extensive system of standards-based reform and a network of wealthy suburbs, you can tap a fairly deep vein of disenchantment among parents and, especially, teachers. North Carolina, for example, is widely considered an exemplary state in the world of standards-based reform. Students in every grade from three to eight take tests in the core subjects, and, unlike New York's, the tests have real consequences. Students who fail the benchmark tests in third and fifth grade can be left back, though as a matter of course they rarely are. And schools are judged by how much they increase a student's test performance from year to year; every teacher in a successful school receives a $1,500 bonus. Schools that hit the mark often put up a big sign announcing their status, the way the state soccer champion might elsewhere.
The teachers that I talked to complained about the tremendous pressure from the community -- and from their own self-interest -- to keep their exalted status. As the writing test was looming, Diane Leusky, who teaches fourth grade at Ephesus Elementary School, a perennially high-scoring school in Chapel Hill, said: ''I've spent the last six weeks doing preparation for narrative writing; I focus strictly on the narrative form. The biggest thing I've got is five parent volunteers whom I've trained.'' Save for the parents, it sounded a good deal like Mount Vernon, with the all-important difference that Leusky couldn't stand it.
Mamaroneck is a perfect example of the suburban conundrum. The town is approximately equidistant from Scarsdale and Mount Vernon, and it falls in between them socioeconomically as well. On the drive eastward from Scarsdale, you pass the immense Tudor clubhouse of the Bonnie Briar Country Club; and Larchmont, one of the two villages that make up the town of Mamaroneck, has high, manicured shrubbery, Land Rovers in the driveways and tennis ladies. But while the other village, which is also called Mamaroneck, has some ritzy neighborhoods of its own, it also houses a sizable black-and-white working and middle class as well as recent Hispanic immigrants. Mamaroneck was the kind of place people moved to for the schools, and there was never any reason to think of the schools as inferior to those in the more glamorous precincts of Scarsdale, Bronxville or Chappaqua. But then New York State administered new tests and also released the results in a format that compared each school with a demographically similar school. And suddenly the Mamaroneck schools didn't look quite so sterling. A quarter of fourth graders failed the E.L.A. test (almost twice as many as in Scarsdale), while the number was much higher in the two more ''diverse'' schools in the town. Some parents were upset; real-estate agents were mortified. One of them, Liz Sauer, said, ''We were getting questions from the people we just sold houses to, people who were coming out from the city.'' Sherri King, the school superintendent, had to make the rounds of the real-estate agencies to put out the fire. She was asked, as Sauer puts it, ''to help us communicate to our customers how to interpret these scores.'' King appears to have explained, if not in so many words, that the children of the kind of people who worried about their home values did just fine in Mamaroneck.
The general feeling among parents, teachers and administrators in Mamaroneck is that they would like to ignore the tests, but they can't. One fourth-grade teacher, Stefan Kuczinski, said, ''My kids do so well on the tests because I reinforce them every day.'' But then he added, ''I don't know anyone who wants to teach fourth grade'' -- a sentiment that you hear repeated all the time. Mamaroneck appears to harbor very few ideologues, for I met scarcely anybody who objected to standardized tests per se. It wasn't the tests but their effects that troubled the citizenry. The tests brought with them a kind of pressure that made life less pleasant without offering any compensating benefits. One parent, Ellen Payne, said: ''If you have a child who's average, you get very, very worried about the test. The test puts an enormous pressure on them, and as a parent I find that very, very upsetting. I was very nervous and anxious about it. Fourth grade is a lot more nerve-racking; it's ridiculous the amount of pressure they put on them.''
I often wondered, in the midst of these conversations, whether it was the parent or the child who was feeling the most pressure. I asked fourth graders in Mamaroneck and Mount Vernon whether they had felt frightened about the E.L.A. test. And while I found one little girl who said that she had had a nightmare -- I was being chased by a book'' -- few of them dredged up anything like the trepidation that I heard from adults.
Testing plays into parents' fears about their children and into their sense of status. Edie Roth, a former head of the P.T.A. at Central, a ''diverse'' school, said that when Central beat out Chatsworth, the town's toniest elementary school, ''you'd think we had just been awarded a million-dollar grant to build a new library. It was like this huge breakthrough. It's joked about, because you feel uncomfortable admitting it's important -- but it is important.''

Dr Ballard is a well respected,knowledgeable and fascinating individual. I attended the event with my husband and 12 yr old grandson. We enjoyed it well enough but it should have been longer and seemed to be lacking something more.I think we expected more content on his expeditions but to be continued I suppose and thanks so much...the venue was great. We will return.

Apple trounced Microsoft at Mall of America on Black Friday
Apple's and Microsoft's stores face off across the hall at the Mall of America. (The Apple logo's pretty clear, but if you missed it, the Microsoft store is marked by those four boxes on the left).
Geekahertz via Flickr
Back in 2010, when Microsoft opened its fifth retail store directly across from Apple at the Mall of America, it generated heaps of buzz. But now, the average mallrat passing by the two tech giants might guess that iWorld is handily outpacing its competition.
On Black Friday, a consulting team from Piper Jaffray confirmed the impression.

- Black Friday strike at St. Paul Walmart: "If I lose my job it doesn't really bother me that much"
- How family business FirstTech got to be the world's longest-running Apple dealer
The team, led by Gene Munster, camped outside the Apple store for eight hours, as it's done for the past five years. This year, they also tallied shoppers across the hall, at Microsoft, for two hours.
The results? Foot traffic: 47 percent less at Microsoft than at Apple. Purchases: 3.5 per hour at Microsoft, and 17.2 per hour at Apple.
The content of those purchases is even more telling. All but two of the Microsoft buys were Xbox games, while Apple shoppers shelled out for 11 iPads per hour. No one bought Microsoft's new tablet, the Surface, in the two hours Piper Jaffray watched.
The news wasn't all positive for Apple, though. While traffic was up 31 percent over last year, sales were down. Munster speculates that shoppers wanted to look at the new iPad mini, but that its still-limited supply prevented purchases.
Here's how Apple's stacked up over the past five years:
It's just one location of course, one small battle inthe epic
that is Apple v. Microsoft. But isn't the Mall of America a microcosm of the greater retail world? And, um,life
Since Microsoft stores are probably less familiar looking, here's the one at the MOA (though not on Black Friday).
afagen via Flickr
Here's one more example to double the sample size. Macweekend.com staged a similar Black Friday experiment in Lone Tree, Colorado at the Park Meadows Mall. The comparison is slightly skewed -- the Apple store there is smaller than Microsoft's, which makes it look more packed -- but still, Apple is bustling.

NEW YORK — Young entrepreneur Varsha Rao certainly isn't letting a little failure get in her way.
This story first appeared in the August 5, 2002 issue of WWD. Subscribe Today.
A former Internet executive who founded the now defunct beauty Web site eve.com, Rao is currently setting her sights on the jewelry industry. She is in the midst of launching a fine jewelry brand called Zoelle that has just begun to hit stores.
"This is a great way for me to combine my passion for jewelry with the experience I gained founding eve.com," Rao said in a recent interview. "I think there is a gap in the jewelry market for products that are feminine and specifically targeted at women aged 25 to 45."
Rao, who is based in San Francisco, has no formal jewelry background, but said she is working with three designers to create the line. Among the initial offerings are pendants, earrings and rings in 18-karat gold with small diamonds and a collection with Asian and Celtic motifs. There is also a bracelet which has an 18-karat gold and diamond pendant that attaches to a strap available in either satin, grosgrain or suede.
Rao, 32, said she has always loved jewelry, but became more interested in it after she began adding accessories and jewelry items to eve.com a few years ago. She acknowledged that it is somewhat of a difficult time to begin a new business due to current economic conditions, but there are some benefits.
"People are more willing to work at reasonable costs than they were a few years ago," she noted. "Also, high quality manufacturers and other suppliers have more time to work with me."
At its peak, eve.com had a staff of about 150 and revenues of $10 million. Rao and her partner sold it in 2000 to Idealab, which decided to fold the site later that year.
The name for the line is derived from the words, Zoe, which means life in Greek, and Elle the French word for women. Prices for Zoelle range from $250 to $2,000, and Rao said she is looking to achieve first year sales of about $500,000.
Distribution is still being determined, but the line is already available in the Jennifer Kaufman boutique in Los Angeles, and Rao said she is targeting high-end specialty stores and some independent jewelers. A Web site is in development and is expected to be running by next month. While the jewelry world is certainly a far cry from the warp speed of the Internet, Rao said she welcomes the change of pace.
"One of the main things I took away [from eve.com] is that it takes time and consistent effort to build a lasting brand," Rao said. "Longevity is a key to creating a trusted brand that has a solid reputation."

magpiestyle's recommendation
One word - glam.
estieste's recommendation
As spending way too much on shopping , limited myself to 1 shade ( not including the less expensive one of course , those are for the season , not for collection =P ) Culter and Gross is my this year pick , in red. Super COOL, big glasses - hide dark circle and up for no-make-up-but meeting-people-while-pretending-to-be-too-cool time. Attraction-seeking yet glam, consider the attraction I have caught and how my friends make me take it off --when they forgot their shades LOL Oh yea, did I mention the main point? It is firm, strong, solid ,etc ....consider me being too lazy to carry the case ( I did at first , too big) , I just put , no throw even , randomly in my bag (if it is big), my clothes (if wearing v-neck which is like 80% of my clothes ) or my jeans' pocket. Oh yea ...it is now on the floor ( I am a very messy person btw) Still in good sharp, wearable and trendy ... a good choice of investment ;)
My Collections:
Three's recommendation
Cutler and Gross are a great brand, very U.K. very well designed. And if you didn't know Cutler and Gross has a look, it's well defined in the sculptural work which define their (ultra mod )optical line, I don't mean to mislead and say that the Cutler and Gross look is avant guard, no their style is a classic style and like any great piece of eye-wear Cutler and Gross upgrades your look in a subtly cool way.

(Winslow Townson/AP)By Allan MuirInteresting news this morning from from Boston.com's Adam Kaufman: Bill Zito, the agent to several well-known players including Boston's Tuukka Rask and reclusive free agent Tim Thomas, is leaving his position with Acme World Sports to become the assistant general manager of the Columbus Blue Jackets.The new gig tops off an exciting summer for Zito, who last month negotiated a hefty new eight-year, $56 million deal with the Bruins for Rask, a goaltender who has played just one season in the starter's role.There's been no official word yet from the Jackets, who've had an eventful offseason of their own. Chris MacFarland has been in the AGM position since 2008 and has dealt with scouting, player contract research and negotiations, salary cap management, and CBA administration, among other duties. He's also served as the GM of the AHL's Springfield Falcons. Zito could assume some of those roles, especially the ones that involve scouting, but that's speculation at this point.It's no surprise that new GM Jarmo Kekalainen wanted Zito on his team. The two combined their own small agencies into Acme World Sports back in 1995, so their working relationship is well established.While those details will be of interest primarily to Jackets fans, Zito's connection to Thomas is the one that makes this move so intriguing.Thomas has been in seclusion since leaving the Bruins in 2012 with Zito serving as his consigliere from the world of hockey. It was Zito who made it known in late June that the reluctant puckstopper was ready to come in from the cold and looking for steady employment for the 2013-14 season. He hasn't been able to drum up much interest in his client, but there were rumors that Thomas was being considered as a Plan B option for Columbus in case Sergei Bobrovsky chose to return to Russia rather than re-sign with the Jackets. That avenue seemed to close for Thomas after the Vezina Trophy winner signed a two-year, $11.25 million extension.What this means for Thomas is tough to say. He's a big enough name that he'll likely have several options to choose from if he decides to look for another agent, but it's hard to say what impact the loss of his trusted adviser will have on his thinking or how he feels about his future, given the apparent lack of interest in his services.It may end up that Zito's departure is a blessing in disguise.European rosters were pretty much in place by Aug. 1, and all 30 NHL teams seem to be set between the pipes, so at this point it's looking like a training camp invite is Thomas' only real option. Now that Zito has a say in the matter, will that invite come from Columbus?It makes some sense for the Jackets, as Thomas would provide insurance against Bobrovsky suffering from flash-in-the-pan syndrome, and he'd be a clear upgrade over Curtis McElhinney, who was signed as a backup earlier this summer. But is it the best avenue for Thomas? With Bobrovsky in the way, it doesn't seem like it, but the chance for some playing time is better than none. And unless the Calgary Flames or Florida Panthers decide to swing for the fences, which seems unlikely, having a friend in a front office might prove to be Thomas' last best chance to get back in the game.UPDATE: The Blue Jackets have now confirmed the hire. "Bill Zito is an astute businessman who understands all facets of our game and will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Columbus Blue Jackets," said Kekalainen. "I have known Bill for many years and believe he will be a great addition to our hockey operations staff as we continue our efforts to build a championship-caliber team." Meanwhile, Aaron Portzline reports that Zito will head the team's pro scouting department and will have a hand in college scouting. Comments

When I think of male writers who write great female characters, The Office (UK) and Extras creator Ricky Gervais -- who mostly pens TV and film vehicles for himself -- isn't someone who comes immediately to mind.
Thus it's a nice surprise that Gervais has spoken out about the frequently one-dimensional, all-too-often demeaning female characters we're presented with at the movies, especially comedies.
"In Hollywood, [female characters are] usually airheads. Or if they're ambitious, they're straight away cold and need to be taught a lesson," he told the Radio Times. "They need to show that getting a man is more important than getting a career."
Added Gervais, "I love writing interesting female characters because usually they're props [for men to do funny things], particularly in comedy." He intends to do his part in rectifying that situation by introducing "real, good, modern girl power" to his current show, Derek, which airs on Channel 4 in the UK.
Gervais promises that a "real sisterhood" will form between two of the women that work at the nursing home where Derek is set, between manager Hannah (Kerry Godliman) and her whip-smart protege Vicky (Holli Dempsey). Gervais plays another caretaker on the show.
Derek's second season will premiere on April 23.

Chris Umiastowski is the growth investor for Globe Investor's Strategy Lab. Follow his contributions here and view his model portfolio here.
Every year, Mary Meeker publishes the latest version of her "Internet Trends" report, which has grown to become quite famous in the technology investing community. Ms. Meeker, a partner at venture capital firm KPCB, has a knack for summarizing a wealth of data through a series of fascinating charts. I love reading through her presentation every year because it encourages us to think about trends that are playing out over a number of years rather than wasting time reacting to quarterly earnings.
Not surprisingly, the dominant theme in the 2014 edition of Meeker's report is the continued growth of mobile Internet traffic. To be clear, we're not talking about the total number of users on the Internet, all platforms. That figure is now quite mature, and growing less than 10 per cent per year. Instead, we're talking about how much more time people are spending connecting to the Internet because of their mobile devices.
It might seem as though everyone we run into these days owns a smartphone or tablet. But the reality is very different on a global scale. Only 30 per cent of mobile phones are smartphones right now, and shipment rates are rising about 20 per cent per year. When it comes to tablets, the volumes are far lower but with much more aggressive growth – 52 per cent annually – than I believe we've ever seen in any consumer electronic product.
Compared to the billions of people in the world who use a television, did you know only 8 per cent of this number uses a tablet? With this one data point, I think Ms. Meeker makes it very clear just how much more growth there is to come in the form of mobile Internet traffic.
If you own a tablet and a TV, ask yourself which you'd keep if you were forced to pick only one. I suspect most would choose the tablet because it has far more overall utility. Ms. Meeker points out that mobile Internet traffic is accelerating with recent annual growth of 81 per cent. She says the primary driver of this growth is video, and I think social networking apps like Facebook often serve as video discovery mechanisms. Our kids are growing up in a world where, if they have access to one, the tablet is used far more often than the big screen. As an investor, I certainly want to be exposed to an industry that I believe will exhibit tenfold growth over the next decade.
When we started the Strategy Lab model portfolio project back in September, 2012, I believed in the importance of mobile. But I think I hugely underestimated its potential. That's why I initially invested in Google Inc. but left Facebook Inc. on the sidelines. Ms. Meeker points out that Google generates six times more revenue per average user than Facebook does today. This isn't a knock against Facebook at all. Remember – they've been in online advertising for a lot less time than Google. Ms. Meeker's revenue comparison illustrates just how much growth potential Facebook has as they mature in the mobile ad space.
Google may have less online advertising growth potential versus Facebook, but the entire sector is still poised to exhibit huge growth. Ms. Meeker points out that 19 per cent of all advertising dollars are spent on print media, but only 5 per cent of our media consumption time is in print. Contrast that with only 4 per cent of ad dollars spent targeting mobile Internet users while we now spend an average of 20 per cent of our time consuming media on a mobile device. I expect this mismatch to dissipate over the next decade. Google and Facebook can both generate incredible growth. I'd rather own both stocks than have to pick only one.
If you invest in the technology sector, I highly recommend you check out Ms. Meeker's fantastic presentation. It's a wonderful place to begin thinking about how you can tune your portfolio to benefit from the growth of the mobile Internet.

Endless Run with XeLaTeX on TeXmaker

Hello everyone,
A few months ago I managed to configure Texmaker to run with Xelatex to write my CV. For honesty's sake I will say I am not completely sure how...
I have just bought a new laptop and I would like to continue my work with the new texmaker version. However, when I click the run error the compiling starts but it does not end. No guiding message appears in the Messages/log window.
These photos correspond to the "Configure Texmaker" menu:
Please I would be very grateful for any advice.
Try running the command from a terminal; this will help distinguish whether the problem is XeLaTeX or texmaker. From what I can see, your command is
If xelatex fails, then you know where the problem is. But if it succeeds, then it's a problem with texmaker. If so, try truncating your user command, getting rid of the | %.pdf

The proven design of the Alphacool Laing top meets the future: Extreme highflow with 3/8" connection threads
This top replaces the black standard cover of the Laing DDC-1T and Laing DDC-1Plus pumps and adds many additional and very useful features. One of the most important is the use of 3/8" threads which makes you independent of the barbs on the original cover. The use of 3/8" threads, which have a much larger inner diameter than the common 1/4" threads on Laing covers, also makes this cover the ultimate choice for highflow applications.
Rebuilding of the pump to use this cover is easy: Simply remove the 4 screws at the bottom of the pump and lift off the original cover. Then insert the 4 included screws instead of the original ones and put the cover on top of the pump. Simply tighten the screws and you are set to go!
To ensure a safe seal of the cover simply leave the original O-ring gasket in its place during installation.
Optionally this cover also offers the possibility for decoupled installation of the pump in a 3,5" drive bay. For use of this feature only one of our decoupling kits (Prod..No.: 13701) is required to allow quick, compact and decoupled installation of the pump.
This cover is also the basis for installation of a reservoir on this pump. The optional reservoir, available at the product number 13905, can simply be screwed onto the cover and the coling loop comes to life!
Technical specifications:
Dimensions (LxWxH): 80 x 80 x 20
Material: Röhm Plexiglas GS
Connection thread size: 2x 3/8"
Side mounting threads: 4x M4
Extent of delivery:
1x Plexi top HF 38
4x Stainless steel screw M4x25mm
1x Screw plug G3/8"
1x Allen key 2,5mm
Note regarding mounting: After mounting a small gap remains between pump and top. The fit is tight as the O-ring ensures a safe seal. Hence do not over-tighten the screws, as it may result in damages to the top.
