Oklahoma City Thunder roundtable: Evaluating Reggie Jackson's season
The Oklahoman's staff writers discuss three topics surrounding Reggie Jackson.
1. What did you learn about Reggie Jackson this season?
Darnell Mayberry: That he's an all-around threat. It was evident even last year that Reggie possessed the potential to break down his man, get to the basket and make plays at the rim. But he's proven himself to be an elite rebounder for his position and, when decisive, a terrific playmaker as well. I also learned that Jackson is a much better corner 3-point shooter than he is at the top of the arc. When he catches a swing pass in the corner, particularly the right corner, he's money. When he fires from out front, he's iffy.
John Rohde: We learned what we already assumed — that when given a chance, this Jackson kid is pretty darn good, athletic as all get-out. Hate that it took an injury to Russell Westbrook for Jackson to finally strut his stuff, but it could help tremendously for Jackson's improvement this upcoming season.
Berry Tramel: We learned that Jackson is an effective backup point guard. Heck, at times, he was an effective starting point guard. He's no Russell Westbrook, but Jackson clearly can play. That was one of the silver linings of Westbrook's injury. We learned a lot — a lot of good — about Jackson's game.
2. What do you expect from Jackson next season?
Mayberry: Another year of rapid improvement. A sixth man role. A Most Improved Player caliber season. Jackson's confidence is at an all-time high, and now he's much more familiar with opponents after finally getting a chance to compete on a regular basis. All he needs now is the opportunity. Here's hoping Scott Brooks provides it.
Rohde: Another terrific sixth man for the Thunder. Hopefully, he'll get 25-30 minutes per game, either teaming up with Westbrook and/or running the second team. If Jackson improves his outside jumper out top and solidifies his defense by not taking unnecessary chances, I could see Westbrook/Jackson becoming a wicked combination.
Tramel: I expect Jackson to become the Thunder sixth man as well as the backup point guard. I think Jackson will play quite a bit with Westbrook, as well as running the offense the 12 minutes or so a game Westbrook sits. He can't shoot like James Harden or Kevin Martin, but Jackson can penetrate and get to the rim.
3. What is Jackson's ceiling, and could he be headed down James Harden Boulevard, meaning the Thunder won't be able to afford him after his rookie deal?
Mayberry: This is a very real possibility, and one of the reasons the Thunder might be in the market for a point guard rather than a big man in the upcoming draft. Jackson will be eligible for an extension next summer, and if he has the type of season we expect him to next year his value will go through the roof. The league has embraced explosive scoring point guards and teams are eager to land the next one. Jackson could soon be the next one. Consider that only six guards in the past four postseasons averaged at least 15 points, five rebounds and four assists per 36 minutes — Russell Westbrook, James Harden, Derrick Rose, Dwyane Wade, Kobe Bryant and Chris Paul. Reggie Jackson, in his first postseason, posted 15 points, 5.3 rebounds and 3.9 assists per 36 minutes. Don't think for one second that teams like the Knicks, Lakers and Mavs, all of whom need a point guard and have virtually clean books in 2015-16, aren't paying attention.
Rohde: Harden played 158 games and 3,900 minutes his first two regular seasons. Jackson played 115 games and roughly 1,500 minutes, so Jackson is nowhere near James Harden Boulevard. Jackson is on a road less-traveled, something along the lines of Reggie Jackson Street. This should beneficial to the Thunder when it comes to the cost of Jackson's rookie contract extension. Otherwise, Jackson potentially could have priced himself off the roster.
Tramel: Oh, you never know. It's going to be hard to afford anyone. But I don't think his upside is as high as Harden's. Doesn't seem to have quite the basketball instincts of Harden. Which is no knock on Jackson. Harden's just a phenom. I wouldn't worry about Jackson two years from now. Plenty of stuff to worry about between then and now.

The Burn Test for Carpet: How to Tell What Carpet is Made Of
If you want to remove carpet spots from your customers' carpets, then don't just "wing it" by using any old stain remover because you could end up with more problems than you bargained for.Depending on the type of spot it is and what the carpet is made out of, you'll need to choose your spotter carefully.
In order to identify the type of carpet you're dealing with, you can do what's called the "burn" test for carpet.
This is where you cut a small piece of carpet fiber from an inconspicuous place such as a closet, and actually burn the fiber to see how it reacts to the flame. Here are the results you can expect:
Polyester:Orange flame that sputters, burns rapidly and melts. The smoke is black and it leaves a hard, black bead that is round and shiny. It smells like sweet, overripe fruit.
Olefin:Orange-tipped flame with a blue base, burns rapidly. The fiber melts leaving a smooth, round bead-like ash. It smells like asphalt or hot tar.
Acrylic:White-orange flame that sputters as it burns and leaves an irregular black hard ash. The smoke is black and it smells like burning meat.
Nylon:Orange-tipped flame with a blue base, the fiber melts and extinguishes itself. It smells like celery or sealing wax. It has a smooth, round bead-like ash.
Rayon:Orange flame, burns rapidly. Rayon burns but leaves no ash or bead. It smells like burning paper.
Cotton:Orange or yellow flame that smells like burning paper. The ash is irregular and gray, and crumbles easily.
Wool:Orange flame that burns slowly. There is no smoke, it doesn't melt, and smells like burning hair. The ash is black and crumbles easily.
Silk:Steady flame, smells like burning hair and leaves little or no ash.
After doing the burn test, you should have a good idea of what the carpet is made out of. Depending on the type of carpet you're dealing with, you'll know how it reacts with different types of spot removers. Having this information is important so you don't cause more problems by using the wrong spot remover.

So Washington state's minimum wage is increasing by a few pennies to keep up with cost of living according to the Consumer Price Index.
After reading the Dec. 30 story in The Columbian — "Pay hike a boon for workers and a burden for employers" — it's hard for me to empathize with the business owners quoted who own restaurant "chains," multiple locations of McDonald's and KFC franchises, crying about the cost of food and wage increases.
Their employees also experience increased costs when they shop for food.
Perhaps these business owners might consider taking a tiny decrease in profits. Somehow, I think they would still survive.
I would also be interested in knowing how many of the hundreds of fast food employees mentioned in the story are getting full-time hours and receiving employer-paid benefits. Not many, I'll bet.
Quit whining and count your blessings.

Works, But Not On Newer Hardware
This review is from: Addonics ADSA3GPX1-2E PCI Express eSATA and SATA II 2 Port eSATA II RAID Controller
Pros: Works if you have an older system (i.e., Core 2 Duo). Supports multiplexing
Cons: This item does not work with newer computers. For two newer, Core i5/7 systems (Dell Optiplex 790 and Precision T7600), neither the BIOS, nor the operating system enumerates the card. When installed in an older, Core 2 Duo, both the BIOS and the operating system enumerates the card. This leads me to conclude there is a design flaw with the card or firmware.

The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite is the first E-ink screen Kindle that you can read in the dark without the help of an separate light. Reading at bed time - who would have thunk it? The Kindle Paperwhite's core update may be an obvious one, but it ensures Amazon's latest the title of "best Kindle yet". And that's saying something.
Part new, part old, the feel of the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite will be familiar to anyone who has owned the Kindle Touch, the ereader discontinued in favour of the new model. The friendly curves of its edges and the generous bezel that surrounds the 6in E-ink screen are much like those of the last Kindle. And it comes in the familiar Wi-Fi only (£109) and 3G (£169) variations.
This time, of course, it's dressed in black rather than the grey that was a Kindle staple from 2007 up until this year's new models. Grey was a good choice in the ebook readers of old because it helped to mask the greyishness of E-ink screens.
Nowadays, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite doesn't need such a crutch because of its contrast-boosting front-lit display. Using black also helps to keep the Kindle family close-knit - ensuring that the Kindle Fire twins aren't the black sheep of the bunch.
As with every top ereader, the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite has a soft touch finish to give it a finger-friendly feel that's missing from hard plastic and cold metal. However, it is on the heavy size in its class. At just over 200g, it's a similar weight to the Kindle Touch, but is markedly weightier than the rival Sony PRS-T1 and Kobo eReader Touch. Neither of those offers an internal light, though.
Aside from donning the black cape, the most obvious different between the Kindle Paperwhite and the Touch is that this time around there's no navigation button. There's a power button on the bottom edge, alongside the microUSB charging socket, but that's your lot for buttons and slots.
With no page turn buttons and no Home button, everything command has to be made using the capacitive touchscreen. This is why the £69 button Kindle still makes a lot of sense for those who like the feel of clicky buttons.
Hardware-wise, Amazon has trimmed some fat off the Kindle range with the Paperwhite. There's no headphone jack on the ereader, and no internal speaker either. This stops you from being able to use the voice synthesis feature or MP3 player, "experimental" features in the Kindle line ever since the Kindle "3".
We imagine they were zapped from the Amazon Kindle Paperwhite to keep cost and weight down. They were nice to have in previous models, but few will genuinely miss them. They were 86 percent gimmick, after all.
The Amazon Kindle Paperwhite will undoubtedly receive some flak for having only 2GB of internal memory, though, as the similarly-priced Touch had 4GB. Without wanting to give Amazon too much credit, this decision was likely made after seeing that the vast majority of Kindle users barely use a nibble of a crumb of a fraction of the memory in their ereader.
Amazon has also altered the Kindle interface to make Cloud-stored books almost as accessible as those stored locally, further reducing the need for a gigantic on-device store of novels. More on that later.

I can just about comprehend Amazon's curmudgeonly attitude to lending libraries - their MO seems to be to tempt you into the water with a profitless Kindle price, and make hay on the book sales. So all the more reason to rue the fact that it is not possible to buy someone the gift of a book via Kindle.
With Christmas on its way, and birthdays ever present, what better that to buy all those Kindle-toting friends and family a nice book to read on their latest gadget? But, incomprehensibly, not possible.
Amazon gift voucher?
or why not just slip a 20 quid note in their chrimbo card? It's hardly the same as choosing and giving a book, which was my original point.

"I committed to Purdue," Clark said. "I like the academics and I (was) looking for that and a good opportunity to play."
Clark, 5-foot-10 and 180 pounds, had also received scholarship offers from Illinois, Indiana, West Virginia, and Maryland.
As a Prospect: Clark is a very productive player. He plays WR and FS and caught 25 passes on offense (as a junior) and has picked off a lot of passes on defense. The ball skills are outstanding. He plays with good instincts. He makes plays. He lacks ideal height (5-10) however, which means he projects better as a corner.

A surveillance video allegedly caught Bieber 'pulling off [stippers'] panties with his teeth' when he was in a strip club in Australia last year.
After a racy image of Justin Bieber sucking a stripper's nipple emerged online, a surveillance video of the 19-year-old super star in "compromising positions" reportedly is making its way out to public. According to Radar Online, the video was taken when the "Confident" singer visited a strip club in Queensland, Australia during his tour last year.
A photo provided to the site reportedly shows the Canadian star wearing his cap backward. There is a bodyguard nearby as well as two topless strippers. According to a source who watched the "crystal clear" video, Bieber played around "with two strippers during which he spanks their bum and pulls off their panties with his teeth." He is also said "spanking" the two's bare behind in the video. The raunchy video reportedly is now being shopped around media outlets, with the seller demanding a fortune for the 12-minute footage.
In other news, Bieber has reached settlement with his former bodyguard who sued him for abuse and battery. According to TMZ, the bodyguard Moshe Benabou claimed that the pop star berated him and punched him in the chest multiple times following a concert because he did not like the way Benabou handled his friends.
Benabou, who worked for Bieber from 2011 to 2012, sought unspecified damages for assault and battery. He also demanded more than $420,000 in unpaid overtime.

007 Legends Trailer Confirms Moonraker Level, Release Date
Written Monday, May 21, 2012 By Lee BradleyView author's profile
Here's an interesting idea. Sony has released the new trailer for the latest Bond film, Skyfall, alongside one for the latest game, 007 Legends. And while the idea may have given more exposure to 007 Legends than it may have otherwise got, we can't help but think it was a misstep.
Why? Because while Skyfall exudes character, ideas and excitement, 007 Legends just looks cheap. Slap them both together and the game's lack of style is only thrown into sharp relief. It's a shame, as we'd go giddy for a decent Bond title. Based on this showing, however, we may have to wait a while for that to happen. We hope we're wrong.
007 Legends takes elements from six separate Bond movies and ties them together with one overarching narrative. This latest trailer shows off a Moonraker-inspired level, complete with a bit of electrifying Jaws action. It also carries a North American release date for the game: October 16th, which presumably means a 19th October release date in Europe.

Hi everyone, my girlfriend is looking for a bicycle for recreational purposes. She's 5'5 and lives in San Francisco. She wouldn't mind a new or used bike. Budget is around $200-300. What would you guys recommend?
Hi everyone, my girlfriend is looking for a bicycle for recreational purposes. She's 5'5 and lives in San Francisco. She wouldn't mind a new or used bike. Budget is around $200-300. What would you guys recommend?
I'm a big fan of cheap bikes for casual riders, but that's really not much money...she'll need gears in the city (I used to live on Cole Street, out by the panhandle), and a $200 geared bike is likely to give you trouble. Best thing to do might be to check thrift shops for a used mountain bike from the '80s or '90s and put road tires on it. She'd sit up a little straighter, so she could watch traffic, and they're durable and reliable. Around here you can find them for $50-$75. Some names to look for: Specialized, Trek, Bridgestone, Diamondback, Cannondale.
Definitely go the used bike via Craigslist route. You should be able to get something decent enough right in that range. She'll definitely want gears; she probably doesn't need 27 or anything, but a decent 7, 8, or 9-speed would give her some options (albeit some hills just won't be rideable pretty much no matter what; I lived at the top of Potrero Hill for 3 years and biking up either 23rd or DeHaro just wasn't possible for me). And if she doesn't plan on biking long distances, don't be afraid of the hyrbid and mountain bike frames at all. If you hunt around for a week, maybe two, you should be able to get a really decent recreational bike well in your price range.
And in agreement with Velo, one of the best upgrades to a used CL bike can be to throw some new tires on it, and definitely ditch any knobbies (if you go the MTB route) for some more road-centric tires. It'll make a huge difference.
You can craigslist a hell of a bike for a casual user in that budget range in my area.
It really would come down to what she's after.
Comfort? Flat bar hybrid.
Some offroad/extreme rough road driving? Mountain bike.
Speed and distance? Road/touring.
Personally, my girlfriend is a huge fan of the comfort bikes.
She has a Raleigh Route, I believe it is called. Very comfortable bike, lots of shock absorbency, very upright position. This bike was about 400 brand new, this year.
It's the blue one pictured.
It's a bit heavier, and a bit slower than my entry level racing bike, for obvious reasons. But the main way to get her out riding is to keep her comfortable

text: As prophets of the New South, Dalton's business elite foretold a harmonious relationship between management and labor. "The success of the man who pays the wages, means the success of the man who works for wages," the Dalton Argus had asserted in 1886. Boosters assumed that everyone would benefit from and support industrial development. They should have known better. During the antebellum era, many southerners had pointed toward New England as an example of what their society should not become, claiming that the emerging factory system turned working people into "wage slaves." Dixie's postbellum boosters tried to bury such concerns under a pile of upbeat rhetoric that emphasized the positive aspects of economic modernization. They insisted that industrial relations in southern textiles would remain cordial because the unity of southern whites would undermine the potential for class conflict. These notions of white supremacy and worker docility endured as mainstays of regional discourse for decades to come, but in reality the harmony between wealthy whites and poor whites in the New South broke down almost at the start. In the late 1880s and the 1890s, uprisings among factory workers and small farmers

More PlayStation 3 News...
works great for me with my unbanned console id thanks guys
is there a point to use this if you have 4.50CFW?
Not really, the only extra is to go on PSN, since it removes syscalls etc
Doesnt mean there are no risks though.
useful to me with a banned system i don't know if it offers you any more protection against getting banned
I'm the guy who recently upgraded my old 3.41+dongle to 4.50 habib 1.02. (thanks misiozol).
I've been reading a LOT about going online on a cfw, and the first obvious thing I noticed, is ban conditions are unknown. It just happens, period.
My questions is, assuming there's a risk, what's should be the right steps to follow to reduce that risk to minimum?
Using SEN enabler?
Erasing all my games from internal hdd?
Erasing every single homebrew application (except multiman)?
Renaming the multiman folder?
Thanks in advance

Filmmaker Suneel Darshan's son Shiv Darshan, who will make his Bollywood debut with "Karle Pyaar Karle" in 2014, credits his choice of an acting career to Akshay Kumar.
"I never wanted to be an actor, but one day when my dad was shooting for 'Talaash: The Hunt Begins...' (2003) with Akshay Kumar and Kareena Kapoor Akshay could not make it on the set as he was unwell, so my dad called me on the set for one shot on his place...That time I had a long hair and I had to cut it for that scene," Shiv told IANS.
"That is when I realised how much fun it is to be an actor...so in a way I am an actor only because of Akshay Kumar. I love being pampered on the set," he added.
Shiv says Akshay gave him a call after he watched the trailer of "Karle Pyaar Karle".
"Mr. Kumar called after he watched the promo of our film. He really liked it and he said his best wishes are with us."
The film is produced by the debutant's father under his banner Shree Krishna International.

Is the Mafia stealing your tuna?
At the 2006 meeting of the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), a surprise awaited a WWF delegate at her table: white lilies and chrysanthemums. In any other context, the flowers would be just flowers. But these were extenuating circumstances. ICCAT's 42 member nations were there to hash out the bluefin tuna quota. Scientists said that Mediterranean bluefin stocks were severely overfished and close to collapse. Environmentalists were agitating for immediate fishery closure. Billions of dollars were at stake. And now rumors were circulating that the mafia had gotten into the tuna business. In mafia symbolic parlance, white lilies — funeral flowers — were a death threat.
Melodrama aside, the incident highlights a terrible truism in conservation: the scarcer some living resources become, the greater their value on the market. And the more a living resource is worth— in bluefin's case as sushi or sashimi —the harder it is to halt, or limit, its extraction.
Relentless fishing, both legal and illegal, is fast driving Mediterranean blufin tuna out of existence. They are, scientists have repeatedly warned, on the brink of commercial extinction.
The numbers are mortifying. For years, the quantity of bluefin landed yearly has hovered between double and triple the legally allowable catch. It's bad enough that ICCAT seems unable or unwilling to rein in illegal fishing; the commission also appears unwilling to pay its own scientists any mind.
Two years ago, when ICCAT's own scientists recommended a 15,000-ton quota, the commission set it at 29,500, nearly double. Actual catches reached 61,000 tons. That's quadruple what fishery scientists had initially recommended. This year, the quota is set at 22,500 tons, still high, but an improvement. (Scientists had recommended 7500 tons to avoid stock collapse.)
At this point, ICCAT is well aware of its failures. Last year, an independent review, conducted at its own behest, labeled the organization an "international disgrace" and "a travesty in fisheries management."
But still, you have to wonder: How does this happen? You can blame the usual political jockeying — lobbying by fishermen worried about losing jobs, and more lobbying by boat owners eager to recoup their considerable investments.
But basically, the driving force is an irresistibly attractive market price.
The majority — 80 to 90 percent — of the world's bluefin is consumed in Japan. In Tokyo, a single 444 lb fish once fetched $175,000 at auction. Bluefin has become one of the most valuable foods in the world. And it's making people rich. In the Mediterranean, once humble fishermen now own seaside villas. Port Lincoln, Australia, where tuna ranching was pioneered, now has the greatest concentration of millionaires in the southern hemisphere. (Tuna ranching means catching tuna and fattening them up in sea pens, thereby boosting profits.)
Rebecca Lent with the National Marine Fisheries Service points out that this phenomenon is hardly restricted to fish. You name it — drugs, prostitution, ivory, blood diamonds — if demand is high enough, someone will clamor to supply. Potential fines and other punitive measures become a small, and completely bearable, cost of doing business.
History is littered with the carcasses of critters that have disappeared because they were worth too much on the market. The once numerous American bison was nearly extinct by the end of the 1800s. The impetus: a new fad for buffalo-skin coats. In the same century, millions of beaver and otter disappeared to make hats and fur trim on coats and capes. In many places, both species are just now making a comeback. And now, as horns from endangered rhinos are again finding their way onto the black market — in Asia they're valued for purported medicinal properties —game wardens have taken to sawing them off in advance. No horn on the rhino, no incentive to poach. It's a shame a similar prophylactic can't be applied to bluefin. Remove the sashimi from the fish in advance, and it might have a chance.
So does what happens in the east stay in the east? Scientists once thought that the eastern and western bluefin populations didn't mix much. To a large degree, that's still how ICCAT manages bluefin — two stocks separated by an imaginary line bisecting the Atlantic. But fish tagging studies in the 1990s upended the notion that this scheme had a basis in reality. Scientists found that up to 30 percent of fish tagged on one side migrated to the other.
Which is at least partially why, in 2007, the US Senate called for a moratorium on fishing bluefin. They may have been more worried about their constituents than the fish itself. US fishermen have been unable to catch their assigned bluefin quota for years. Last year, they managed to catch just one-quarter of their assigned 1,391-ton total allowable catch. That was an improvement over the mere 10 percent they landed two years earlier.
In other words —yes —the mafia may be stealing tuna from Maine.
Note: In my original post, I said rhino horns were considered an aphrodisiac. As it turns out, that may be "a media myth." Save the Rhino's Cathy Dean says:
In [Asian] cultures, horn is believed to reduce fever, rather than to be an aphrodisiac, which is a media myth. In some Middle Eastern countries, even though it is illegal, rhino horn is used for ornamental dagger handles – a status symbol procured at a terrible cost.

The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation today unveiled ambitious new directions for its education giving, which include working to double the number of low-income students who complete some kind of college or post-high school degree.
Efforts also would be made to identify and pay higher salaries for good teaching, help average teachers get better, devise better tests and create a national set of learning standards for high schools.
Bill and Melinda Gates announced these and other plans today to a group of about 100 guests in Seattle that included many big names in U.S. education.
Bill Gates told the group that improving schools is what he and Melinda see as "the best path to equality in America."

The foundation has spent $4 billion on education in the past eight years — half on scholarships and half on its work to improve high schools.
The leaders of the nation's two largest teachers unions were there, as well as superintendents of some of the biggest districts in the country, including New York, Chicago, and Washington D.C. Advisers to president-elect Barack Obama also were present, as were several people who are rumored to be in the running to be the next U.S. Secretary of Education.
The initial reaction to the foundation's announcement was positive — not unexpected from a group made up of those who have received Gates grants or that the foundation considers its partners in figuring out how to improve schools.

Industrie 4.0 Gets a Boost from Bosch
Just as IoT is built on cloud computing, Bosch announced that it is building its own cloud, which it sees as a significant step for the advancement of connectivity and all that it enables.
Industrie 4.0 has been featured in tech news recently, as the German government itself is investing 200 million euro in research to help the advance of factories made smarter by digital enterprise technology built by companies like Siemen's and Deutsche Telekom. Industrie 4.0 refers to the innovations in IoT as applied to industry in Germany. The four signifies its status as the fourth wave of the Industrial Revolution. Now, privately owned Bosch is taking a major role in Industrie 4.0 with its own IoT cloud.
Bosch CEO Volkmar Denner announced the launch of the Bosch IoT Cloud at Bosch ConnectedWorld 2016 on March 9. He explained that Bosch built its own cloud rather than relying on existing cloud services to capitalize on the company's extensive experience, domain expertise, and brand recognition. Beyond that, he counted four key benefits for the business:
You can view his remarks here:
Though the cloud has only emerged this year, Bosch has been thinking about Industrie 4.0 for some time. Back in 2013, Mckinsey and Company featured a discussion of Industrie 4.0 with Siegfried Dais, deputy chairman of the board of management at Robert Bosch GmbH, and Heinz Derenbach, CEO of Bosch Software Innovations GmbH. One of the points that Dais made was that the challenge of tracking an increasing number of things involved in the supply chain:
How do we find an architecture that is stable enough to keep everything networked together? I think it will primarily require algorithm specialists and software architects. We will need "steering instruments"—new algorithms and applications that interlink millions of things, that ensure that everything runs stably, and that are synchronized across the entire value chain.
The idea is that the distinction between the physical supply chain and the informational supply chain disappears when the things will be connected via the data transmission. Derenbach observed that industrial IoT "means a physical device becomes an active part of a business process: delivering data, sending events, and processing rules."
Currently, the Bosch IoT Cloud connects over five million devices and machines and delivers a variety of services over the platform. Denner dubbed it, "the brain of the connected world," as it links "devices, users, and companies" to take in and analyze vast quantities of data. For industrial businesses that means that they can have automatic check on machinery to schedule preventative maintenance and signal an alert when something is wrong – all without the need for a manual inspection.
The Bosch IoT Cloud will first be used for the company's own solution and will be located near the company's German headquarters. Denner sees starting out in the company's home country as an advantage for customers who want to be assured of security and compliance with European regulations. He also sees it as a boon to the country's Innovation 4.0 direction, asserting, "Our cloud is a competitive advantage for Germany's status as a seat of innovation."
But Bosch doesn't intend to limit itself to German industry. It intends to expand its cloud services to other countries as of 2017. If it expands globally, Bosch's cloud might pose competition to GE's Predix Cloud, which had described itself this past August as "the world's first and only cloud solution designed specifically for industrial data and analytics." But perhaps as more and more companies turn to IoT and to help them manage their supply chains and make their factories smarter, there will be a real need for more than one industrial cloud.

In this week's #MasterofCocktails we're making what is probably the most abused drink in the history of all time: The Daiquiri.
It's such a blisteringly simple drink when done correctly. Rum. Sugar. Lime. That's all.
Now, there are some variations worth lauding (we're going to do a few over the next couple of weeks), but the classic version is one that should be in everyone's repertoire.
The recipe really couldn't be simpler. Can you remember the following?

The Family and Work Institute's most recent "National Study of the Changing Workforce" showed a startling 42 percent of employees expect to assume elder care duties within the next five years. As a dual-career couple, my husband and I joined the many caregivers who are attempting to balance elder caregiving with career commitments. However, unlike most caregivers, our balancing was greatly eased because I had the luxury of a supportive workplace. I was able to draw upon the "family-friendly flexibility" that university teaching affords, and arrange my teaching and student-advising schedule to coincide with the hours that Katharine attended day care.
Many caregivers do not have this luxury. These workers and their employers are often paying a heavy price. Studies of the impact of the dual roles of elder caregiving and employment have shown that the negative effects of the caregiving are experienced not only by the individual caregiver in terms of stress and physical exhaustion, but also by the workplace itself. The latest research demonstrates that there can be serious workplace consequences when workers must attend to the care of an elderly loved one. According to information from a survey compiled by Work-Family Directions, a Boston consulting firm, findings indicated that employees caring for an elderly relative miss an average of five workdays each year. 1 Even when these caregiving employees are at work, they often experience a number of difficulties, including distract-

Foreman expands on 'gay disease' comment
by Todd Heywood
Originally printed 02/21/2008 (Issue 1607 - Between The Lines News)
DETROIT - Matt Foreman, head of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, who stirred up the audience attending Creating Change conference when he said Friday that HIV is a "gay disease", expanded on his statement in an interview Saturday.
"HIV isn't just a gay disease but it is a gay disease in the United States," Foreman said. "I would agree that we have seperated HIV from the gay community over the last 15 years. That is why HIV/AIDS is not a priority for the vast majority of LBGT (lesbian, bisexual, gay and transgender) national, state and local organizations."
Foreman's comments have spurred a controversy among activists gathered in Detroit for the NGLTF Creating Change Conference. As the leader of the Task Force, which is the oldest national LGBT rights organization, Foreman's is a widely watched and quoted activist for the LBGT community. Some have expressed concern his statement will be used by right-wing activists to bolster their battle against HIV/AIDS funding.
Since it first appeared, the disease has been perceived in the U.S. as a gay disease. This led the Reagan administration to limit spending on the epidemic until there were concerns of it spreading to the "broader community," as Reagan Health and Human Services Secretary Margret Heckler said in the mid-'80s. Many historians and journalists, including Randy Shilts who wrote the book "And The Band Played On," a history of the epidemic in the U.S., have said the perception of HIV allowed it to spread through intravenous drug users, and into blood products, then into the heterosexual community.
Addressing concerns that right-wing activists, such as James Dobson of Focus on the Family, which has been beating the drum of "HIV is a gay disease" since the '80s, Foreman said: "Fuck what James Dobson has to say. I don't give a damn what right wing forces are going to say. They lie and distort at will. So if they don't have something like my statement, they will make something up. We should never not speak truth because of them."
Dr. Renee McCoy, director of Degtroit's department of health and welfare HIV/AIDS programs, said she supported Foreman's comment. "We have been avoiding taking ownership of HIV and we keep passing it around," said McCoy. "Maybe the new strategy is to name the communities."
"I don't have a problem with him saying it is a gay disease," she added. "I do have an issue with other groups who are dispropotionately impacted not taking ownership. It was a wise and courageous thing for him to do."
McCoy also noted that the context of the speech, where it was given was important.
"We have to contextualize who has this disease based on our audience. There were not enough African-American leaders at the conference to have that great an impact on the African-American community. They just did not hear it. They are not listening to words from that audience," she said. "The danger here is the African-Americans, women, hispanics and others didn't take their cue from that and go back and say 'lets look at the impact of HIV/AIDS on our community.' I would not have any problem if every damn group in the country was claiming the disease as there own."
Jake Distel, the executive director of the Lansing Area AIDS Network, is worried about the impact of Foreman's statement.
"I think the statement is unfortunate. we have worked for many years to make sure people are aware this is not a gay disease... it is a disease of opportunity," Distel said. He said a lot of public discussion about whether or not HIV is a gay disease may also have negative impacts on his organization's partnerships with groups who have traditionally shied away from HIV because it was perceived as a gay disease, and he expressed a fear that such a discussion will act as a barrier for people to get tested.
"We resisted calling it a gay disease and it still is going on so maybe something else could work," McCoy countered Distel.
Sean Strub, the founder of POZ magazine, which is for and about HIV-positive people, supports Foreman's statement.
"What Matt meant was we as a gay community have to take more responsibility for the epidemic. Too much of the community has relegated the epidemic as some other community's concern," Strub said. "Is it volatile to frame the issue that way in a public forum? Yes, I think it is, and I have no doubt there are entities out there that will twist Matt's words."
Both Foreman and Strub said the issue is not just HIV, but the institutional racism that is fueling the spread of the epidemic among black gay men.
"Over the last 15 years as people have lived longer and the epidemic moved predominately to effecting people of color, we have lost our anger," said Foreman. "Of course this is not just HIV among gay black men. It's other African-American health issues not being addressed at large ... the system is racist."
"White people don't see the epidemic as vividly and painfully as much as they once did," Strub said. "It has largely been relegated to other communities. And it is driven in large part by racism."
"I dont blame our community for the fact that MSM [men who have sex with men] still account for nearly three quarters of men living with HIV. I hold our government accountable," said Foreman.
Foreman and Strub both said it was essential that the LBGT community become re-engaged in the HIV/AIDS epidemic.
"I think the dialogue is beginning, Foreman said, "and it is about how do we harness the political power of the LBGT community to combat HIV in the LBGT community."

XLrator Media has set a September 26, 2014 theatrical release date for John Ridley's Jimi Hendrix film, now titled, "Jimi: All Is By My Side," which made its World Premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival last fall.
Andre Benjamin plays Hendrix in the drama, and is joined by Hayley Atwell, Imogen Poots, Andrew Buckley, in a film that covers a year in Hendrix's life, from 1966-67, presenting an intimate portrait of the sensitive, young musician on the verge of becoming a rock legend, cutting his teeth as an unknown backup guitarist playing New York's Cheetah Club, to making his mark on London's music scene, up until his Monterey Pop triumph.
To further entice you, after the release of the film's first trailer a week ago, here's a just as psychedelic first poster, embedded below.
Zeba reviewed the film for S&A after she saw it at TIFF last fall. Read her reactions here.

I still use C45. It has some errors (two buttons not working as they should, some dead pixels), but it still work. I can say only that i like (very much) that cellphone.
My first mobile, i was 14 :) that was for 7 years, that was the best mobile i had.. was a weeck in the mountins and i dident had electricity, but i could talk 1 weeck without charging electricity...
I love my C45 - it is bog standard, simple, no frills but oh so dependable and easy to use. I have had other 'phones given to me as presents with all the fancy bits, camera, radio, MP3 player - can even watch TV but for what you really need a mobile for - calling and texting - this one is the best. All I need now is to find a new charger for it.
this is my second cell phone bought by my father when i was 10 years old. about 1 years ago, i lost it. and this morning ifind it inside my lego box. i try to turn it on, and amazing. it can turned on an i can use it again. that's mean that i already have this cellphone for 8 years since december 2001.
once i felt this phone into sink. i just dry it using hair dryer. and voila.... there's no damage on it. this phone is very strong, and easy to use. and it have cool design for me. i love this phone very much

it was exceptional while i used it coz its user friendly till my son punched somethings and its now displaying WRONG SOFTWARE for a period less than 5seconds. Is there no way i could return to normal through punching some codes
