Researchers: Silverlight now more vulnerable than Java, Flash
Microsoft's web video and interactive cross-platform content plugin Silverlight is coming under increasing volume of attacks from hackers as of late, according to security reports. As the public awareness of Java and Flash flaws is increasing, Cisco's security researchers are finding an increasng number of systems affected by attacks focused on exploits of Microsoft's Silverlight, as users aren't aware of the increasing proliferation of malware for the platform, or even that they have the plug-in installed.
Parts of Microsoft software roadmap leak online
Microsoft has begun sending out a roadmap that shows some details about its future software products such as Office 15, Internet Explorer 10, and Windows Phone to some of its partners. One of them, CEO of Meetroo Maarten Visser, shared part of it over Twitter, revealing said details. Dated December 22, 2011, the images weren't password-protected. Considering the date, the Windows roadmap doesn't mention anything past the Developer Preview and certainly not the Consumer Preview that launched on February 29.
Google, Microsoft, Netflix want encrypted HTML5 media spec
Google, Microsoft, and Netflix have put forward a proposal that could add a level of copy protection to HTML5 audio and video. Encrypted Media Extensions would let apps on the web and elsewhere use keys to control who has access to a given media stream. It would allow any format that would work in HTML5 as long as the format itself can support some kind of key or bit.
Windows Phone Tango could pack native apps, 120 languages
Microsoft may have inadvertently spoiled many of its plans for Windows Phone's Tango update after an Indian developer presentation was recounted (since pulled at Microsoft's request) this weekend. During the event, WPSauce heard from attendee Karthik Ragubathy that "the next release," possibly Tango, would support truly native apps for the first time. The approach would let apps optimize for performance without having to be written using XNA code intended for games.
Microsoft posts Silverlight 5 in possible last update
As expected, Microsoft has released a major update to its Silverlight plug-in for Windows and Mac computers. Version 5 brings several new features, including hardware decoding for H.264 media and improved 3D graphics performance, however the release is believed to be the final major update for the application framework.
Lovefilm switches from Flash to Silverlight, skips HTML5
UK DVD and streaming video outfit Lovefilm just announced that it will move from Flash-based streaming to Microsoft's Silverlight. The move was prompted by movie studios, as they believed Silverlight offers greater security in the fight against piracy. The studios were apparently fairly adamant, threatening to pull their movies if the change wasn't made.
Microsoft may drop Silverlight after imminent 5 launch
Microsoft may join in decisions to drop proprietary plugins with an exit from Silverlight, insiders mentioned later on Tuesday. Silverlight 5, expected to be finished by the end November, is said by Microsoft partner contacts for ZDNet to be the last-ever version. It might not get any minor updates and may even go without any support beyond Internet Explorer for Windows, backtracking on claims of cross-platform support.
Netflix gets native Chrome OS support
Netflix has tweeted that its @Netflix app is now available for Chromebook owners. The app is available from the Chrome Web Store. Netflix is a offering a one month's free trial to new customers.
Microsoft upgrades SkyDrive with HTML5, drops Silverlight
Microsoft has officially launched its updated SkyDrive service. The new architecture is based on HTML5 instead of Silverlight. The company had said last October it would make this transition to ensure better cross platform compatibility with more devices including iPhones, iPads and smartphones.
HTML5 at last call for comments, near finished
HTML5 community leader Shelley reports that members of the W3C, the international standards body for the Web, are being polled about the proposed new HTML5 standard. If no formal objections are raised before Monday, May 22, then HTML5 would enter "Last Call" status. It could become a standard in 2012.

WhatsApp now handles over 100M calls daily
WhatsApp is celebrating that it is being used for over 100 million calls every day. In a brief notice, the Facebook-owned messaging platform advises the voice-calling feature it rolled out to its users last year now deals with an average of over 1,100 calls initiated per second. Earlier this year, it increased the security of its calls and other messages, by introducing end-to-end encryption on all platforms. http://bit.ly/292HqCX
Adele's '25' album now streaming
Recording artist Adele has "pulled a Kanye" after saying that her current album "25" would not be available for streaming. The seven-month-old record, which has yielded a number of hit singles, is now available for streaming on all the major streaming services, such as Apple Music and Spotify, as of today in most major markets, with worldwide distribution to come. Reportedly, the singer had demanded streaming be limited to paid subscribers -- a condition that has hurt some streamers with artists, who aren't paid royalties for free or trial listens . Apple pays performers its normal royalty rates during its free trial, avoiding the issue -- and having repeated success in both signing up exclusives and placing those exclusives into the top of the charts. http://ti.me/28U7NOu
SanDisk iXpand case has battery, storage
A new iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s case from SanDisk appears to be the "holy grail" of accessories: a stylish and protective case that offers both extra storage as well as the option of extra battery power as well. The iXpand Memory case offers either 32GB, 64GB, or 128GB of additional storage incorporated into the case, and an optional add-on battery pack (sold separately) adds up to an extra day or more of charge. Through the associated iXpand app, camera photos and videos can be automatically stored on the extra storage, optionally password-protected, The cost for the case is (in order of storage capacity) $60, $100, and $130. The battery pack's release data has not yet been announced, but the add-on should retail for an additional $30. http://bit.ly/291epHu
Fifth Hong Kong store to open June 30
The 46th official Apple store in what the company calls the "Greater China" region will open at 10AM local time in Hong Kong's New Town Plaza in the Sha Tin district on Thursday, June 30, according to a new page on Apple's retail website. Despite slowing growth due to economic turmoil in China, the country is still Apple's fastest-growing market. The new story will be the fifth for Hong Kong, a lucrative market for Apple thanks to the high concentration of wealth there and a thriving "gray" market. Normal store hours for the new store will be 10AM to 10PM every day. http://apple.co/291diaT
Apple Music bug bites very short songs
There appears to be a reproducible bug in the current version of iTunes -- version 12.4.1, running on OS X 10.11.5, both the current non-beta versions of the respective software -- that causes a streamed song to become "stuck" in endless buffering if the streamed item just before this happened was 60 seconds or less in length. The problem appears to stem from code in iTunes that signals the next track to start downloading one minute before the currently-playing track is done, and thus songs shorter than one minute don't trigger the download. Locally-stored music is unaffected by the bug, and the problem does not appear to exist in either the macOS Sierra developer beta or versions of iTunes earlier than 12.4, and does not affect the iOS Music app at all. http://bit.ly/291cN0l
Walmart Pay expands to 15 states
Walmart, one of the key progenitors of the failed CurrentC mobile payment system that was distinguished from Apple Pay by its ability to collect and share customer financial and buying data among its participants, has expanded the soft rollout of its alternative solution "Walmart Pay" to an additional 15 US states following a pilot program in Arkansas and Texas last month. Walmart continues to resist adding Apple Pay. The system, built into the Walmart app for iOS and Android, works with a complicated system of the camera scanning a purchase code at the register, then generating a QR code which is then scanned by the register. The system is available now in Alabama, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington, DC. http://apple.co/28SqZfu
Amazon refreshes entry-level Kindle
Amazon has added a new Kindle to its ebook reader range, one that is thinner and lighter than the previous entry-level model. Offering a six-inch 167-dpi touchscreen display, a doubled 4GB of storage, and an option for a white casing, the new model also adds in the ability to export highlights and notes to an email account as a PDF. Two versions of the all-new Kindle are available, priced at $80 including "Special Offers" and $100 without. http://amzn.to/28Q4c3R

EXCLUSIVE: I'll be too fast for Floyd, insists Khan as he targets Las Vegas showdown
Amir Khan leaves Las Vegas singing Floyd Mayweather's praises from the rooftop of the MGM Grand Garden but quietly convinced that he can put the best boxer in the world through a much harder night's work than Robert Guerrero did here on Saturday.
Now second in line to challenge Mayweather as the Money machine ticks off the last five fights of his still-undefeated career, Khan says: 'Floyd put in a magnificent performance. It was barely believable for any 36-year-old, let alone one who has been out of action for a year and in prison.
'I'm full of admiration for him. It was a masterclass in the noble art of self-defence. It was the best he has boxed for two or three years. It was amazing to see him again as quick as he used to be at his best. Not only with his punches but on his feet.
Masterclass: Floyd Mayweather show his outstanding ability by consistently outboxing Robert Guerrero
'But that doesn't mean someone like myself can't challenge him.'
Khan is not rash enough to predict the biggest ring upset of recent times when they share a ring, only that he believes he will have a fighting chance.
Before the sceptics rush to point out that he had problems defeating a mere mortal in the latest fight of his comeback from twice losing his world titles, Khan offers a word of explanation: 'Speed.'
He explains: 'None of Mayweather's recent opponents have been able to match how fast he is. In that sense they were ideal for him. The only thing that can trouble him is genuine, explosive speed and that just happens to be my best asset.
'I don't believe he will be as comfortable against a really fast puncher like me. Floyd was absolutely brilliant but Guerrero made him look even better than he was. Guerrero is a good, tough fighter but Floyd made him look terrible.
Advantage: Amir Khan's speed and reach could be problematic for Mayweather
'To be honest I don't think it's worth anyone without speed even getting in the ring with him, unless they're just looking for the big payday.'
Khan knows there will be doubters but asks the fight fraternity to remember this: 'Boxing is all about styles. Always has been, always will be. You look bad against an inferior boxer whose way of fighting is awkward for you. Then you can look great against a top boxer whose style is a pefect fit for you. I happen to believe that my style will give Floyd a lot more problems.'
Khan says that despite believing that prison has been beneficial to Mayweather.
Boxers are rarely their old selves when they emerge from incarceration but Khan says: 'It looks as if jail has been good for Floyd. Like he's had time to think and reflect on his life. Like it's kept him out of the nightclubs and made him realise that's the way to go during the last part of his career.
'It's nothing short of amazing that he looked better than ever this weekend. He didn't look this good against Miguel Cotto in his last fight before going inside. He looked like he was slowing down and his legs were heavy.
Workrate: Khan's high intensity is also difficult to overcome
'He got hit a lot and said it happened because he was giving his fans the excitement they want. He did the right thing bringing back his father as his trainer. Together they have re-built that great defence.
'Perhaps there's a lesson for me. My fights are always exciting because I exchange and get hit. Perhaps it's time to think about avoiding punches and just win the fight even if it might be boring.
'Not that there was anything boring about Floyd. I couldn't believe some of the crowd booed and walked out. What he did in that ring was a beautiful work of art.
'And it's incredible to think that suddenly he looks more dangerous than ever.'
Vulnerable: But his punch resistance, as demonstrated against Julio Diaz, is questionable
Even so, Khan would relish a speed test against the greatest pound-for-pound fighter on the planet.
To confirm that opportunity he knows he must win his next fight, on December 7, whoever it is against. He can either try to regain his light-welterweight titles against the winner of a current unification-tournament in America, probably either Danny Garcia or Lamont Peterson who are the two men who took his belts.
Alternatively, he can move up immediately to the welterweight division ruled by Mayweather and challenge the winner of Devon Alexander's upcoming defence of his IBF belt against England's Lee Purdy.
Unless he suffers another setback, Khan would then be the ensuing opponent for Mayweather, next May following a likely September clash with Mexican prodigy Saul Canelo Alvarez.
Defensive genius: Mayweather's defense makes him the finest fighter in the world
Although there has been speculation about Mayweather travelling to England , Khan accepts that it will almost certainly take place at the MGM Grand: 'For one thing here are timing problems with pay-per-view in America. Also this is where Floyd lives so this is his comfort zone.
'It is easier to stay unbeaten if you play every game at home but he is the best boxer in the world so he can call the shots.'
Then, before anyone can accuse of him of arrogance, he adds: 'But wherever it takes place, it would be an honour for me to fight Floyd Mayweather.'

Mark Webber believes he can still take the fight to team mate and World champion Sebastian Vettel.
Last season Webber seemingly fell out with his team bosses over a decision to give Vettel a newly developed front wing at the British Grand Prix which had previously been given to Webber. The decision meant that Webber went into the race all fired up and he went on to claim the win, spouting on the team radio for all the World to hear: Not bad for a number two driver.
Reportedly it wasnt only Webber that was angered by the decision to hand over the front wing to Vettel as during the post race celebration Webbers mechanics are believed to have removed the 'old front wing that Webber had won the race with and waved it at Vettels mechanics on the other side of the garage.
The incident is of course completely behind them if you believe the comments that come from the different parties now.
'You want a good, fair crack at it and if you get caned, so be it,' Webber told the Times Newspaper . 'But if you go to play at Wimbledon with flip-flops on and Federer is playing with Nikes, why bother turning up? The wings weren't worth a huge [advantage] but it was a tough decision for the team. I think, going forward, that we would probably do things differently. It was just another little mistake in the grand scheme of things.'
Webber went on to challenge for the World title and had a 14 point lead going into the final 3 races of the season.
But his personal battle with his team mate Vettel probably lost him the chance to win the title, after the Australian cracked under the pressure in Korea.
His crash in a wet Korea brought his first retirement since before the British Grand Prix that had acted as the catalyst for his championship challenge, and in that moment, his title momentum seemed lost, while it was Alonso who over took him in the standings and not Vettel (who at that point remained 14 points behind him as he also failed to finish), Webbers chance of the title seemed to have passed him by with that result and the pendulum swung back in Vettels favour as the German won the last two races of the season to be crowned champion.
'I made more mistakes, early in that [Korean] race, than I made for ages. I hadn't spun or lost control of the car for nearly a year and a half but I had a 'moment' in that corner [turn 12] in practice and I got on the white line in the race and crashed. It's one of Seb's strengths, early in a race when it's wet, that he drives the needle to make sure the guys behind can't see. Afterwards you think, 'Why didn't I settle for something different? Why didn't I take it to another day like I had been doing?' But you feel, 'Sebastian is one of your rivals and you need to beat him'. And it was probably wrong for the championship but hey...'
This season could of course end up being Mark Webbers last year with the team. He has only one year remaining on his contract with Red Bull Chief Christian Horner wanting to check that he still has the speed, the motivation, the hunger and commitment to be a title contending driver on a year by year basis.
Something that if it has the same reaction as last season could well fire up Webber this year: 'I think I've still plenty of mongrel in me.' Webber said when asked if he will fight Vettel for the championship again this season, however there has to be a little nagging feeling that last year was his best chance to win the World championship.

The best pilchard? The one on a hook that's just been swallowed by a snapper.
But according to a new environmental guide, that common angling scenario demonstrates the very best and worst of our $1.49 billion seafood industry.
This week, Forest and Bird will release a new Best Fish Guide, a wallet-sized chart ranking 78 of New Zealand's 130 commercially fished species according to their ecological sustainability.
Top of the list are anchovies and pilchards. At the bottom are snapper and orange roughy.
It's the fifth time the environmental lobby has released the guide, aimed at changing people's fish-buying habits.
This year's version, which goes public on Wednesday, comes with a mobile phone application and recipes from our newest celebrity incarnation: the television chef.
Tea-smoked kahawai, trevally ceviche, bacon-wrapped cod with little necked clams, and not a snapper fillet in sight.
Forest and Bird says it's the fishery where Hauraki Gulf long liners are allegedly responsible for a bycatch of globally threatened black petrels and, where, on the South Island West Coast, stock is down to 10 per cent of biomass.
Tell Graeme Sinclair, television's Gone Fishin' host, that snapper fishing is ecologically unsound and he says, "I really find that quite bizarre".
"I'm driving my boat at the moment out in the Gulf over mile after mile of snapper schools. I'm not sure how you fit another 90 per cent into that. The bloody things would have to have their heads out of the surface of the ocean. There are miles and miles of them out there, and not just juvenile fish. It covers the whole spectrum."
He sighs. "Forest and Bird. You love them dearly. You know they're trying to come from the right place, but to try to shut New Zealand up and turn it into a glass house that everyone looks at from outside as some obstacle just makes no sense.
"We interact with this environment. The environment is forever modified and we have to be sensible about its management and the commercial fisherman are managing the fishery to the best effect, and if there's a problem, we tweak the quota."
That's the Quota Management System (QMS). Introduced in 1986, it is lauded as world-leading and criticised for being out of date. Either way, it's the mechanism that controls the total catch limit, by weight, for the main species in our 200 nautical mile Exclusive Economic Zone.
According to Peter Bodeker, Seafood Industry Council chief executive, this means there is no need for green buying guides.
If a species comes under the QMS, says Bodeker, then by default, "it's a best fish".
"If they are commercially available in New Zealand, they are sustainable and people should not feel guilty about eating them."
One of the aims of the guide is to get the public to expand its fish-eating repertoire. Swap snapper for kingfish, tarakihi or trevally, because they have similar taste, textural or oil qualities, and, it says, they're more sustainable.
"We would like people to try all sorts of different fish," Bodeker says, "but we don't want to exclude a fish on some spurious environmental reason from being made available to the public.
"Try another species, but not at the exclusion of other species we believe are perfectly sustainable."
Pilchards and anchovies are the new guide's best fish, but last week, the only pilchards the Sunday Star-Times could find were in a bait freezer. It was disappointing, as we wanted to cook them with a parmesan crust to serve on toast with tomatoes and a parsley salad. Followers of Wellington chef Martin Bosley may recognise the recipe.
"The first time my seafood supplier said, `I've got chefs looking for pilchards', they said, `Look, they're just catfood'," Bosley says, but when he put them on the menu, prepared by "running a knife down its gut, opening up the cavity, flattening it out, pinching the head and pulling it down towards the backbone," they flew out the door.
"I'm a supporter of sustainable fishing," he says. "And I know it's contentious. It's healthy to have a debate because it needs to be held. The best custodians of our oceans are the guys who go out on the boats, because they've got an eye on the future too." There's a qualifier. To make his menus, it must be wild-caught fish from day boats using sustainable methods.
"All the fish we've got here is less than 30 hours old. International visitors come here who have never seen a wild fish, because they're used to eating farmed fish. They're used to asking what the age is at harvest."
On offer the day we called was deep-sea racing ling. Never heard of it? Not surprising, because what Bosley really means is plain old much-maligned ling.
Its body has the mottled appearance of a picked scab. Its skin is covered in a slick of slimy mucous. Its head is out of proportion to its tail. It is a bottom dweller with a bad reputation, but when Bosley rebranded it deep-sea racing ling, it sold out.
"It's an ugly-looking fish. It's the devil's spawn of the ocean. It's not attractive at all and I'm sure that's why people don't like it.
"But you cook it and it just bleeds juice, it caramelises up on the outside, and you get this lovely golden crust. It's white fleshed and it's slightly sweet."
Anyone for Southern Bastard Cod? It's a menu-friendly moniker for the more common and also maligned red cod, another bottom dweller which eaters love to hate, but lapped up with a rebrand.
"Trevally," continues Bosley. "So many people go, `That's bait fish, mate'. Not if you're in Japan. One of the amazing things I had there was a fillet. All they did was score the top of it and pour boiling water over the skin side. It was just enough to tighten the skin and barely cook the flesh. It's glorious."
Red cod and trevally are high on the best choice list.
Ling, which earned $42 million in export in 2010, sits about halfway between best and worst.
According to Forest and Bird, all three are more ecologically sustainable than snapper, but even Bosley admits he serves the premium fish.
"It's probably our most expensive fish. What people want more than anything is the right to say yes or no. With seafood, people are wound up about whether it's sustainable or not. Forest and Bird keeps the discussion alive by putting out things like the good fish guide."
Back in Auckland, in view of the Sky Tower, between the old Chelsea Sugar Factory and the Devonport Wharf, Graeme Sinclair says, "You can drift through there and very quickly get a feed of snapper".
Bodeker said there were so many snapper around Auckland now, they were pushing out other species like gurnard and tarakihi.
But Katrina Subedar, Forest and Bird's marine conservation advocate says the guide "looks at the big picture. We take all the snapper as one fishery. In the future, I'd like to see us look at this regionally. Does snapper on the East Coast have a different rating than snapper on the West Coast, which are completely different stocks?
"Snapper is such an important iconic fish for New Zealanders. We all love it, but it does have one of the worst rankings and that is based on the ecological assessment of the commercial fishery."
Stock assessment, fishing methods, bycatch and the effects of the fishery on other marine species are all considered by Forest and Bird, which claims 42 per cent of the species it lists are overfished or showing "substantial decline" in stocks.
It claims that every year more than 1300 commercial fishing vessels operate in New Zealand waters, killing an average of 1060 fur seals, between 110 and 150 Maui and Hector's dolphins, 131 New Zealand sea lions, 14,090 albatrosses and 10,000 petrels. It says the scampi fishery catches more than five times the amount of non-target fish species than it does scampi and the squid fishery in the sub-Antarctic islands has contributed to a 50 per cent decline in New Zealand sea-lion numbers in the past 12 years.
(The Seafood Industry Council cites the use of Sea Lion Exclusion Devices as evidence of its commitment to working with environmental groups to improve conservation outcomes).
Subedar says Forest and Bird is not saying no to seafood, and its guide does not aim to change recreational angling habits.
There is some good news. Two types of tuna for example – skipjack and albacore – have moved up the list since it was last published. Cockles are a good choice. So is kina. Who eats kina?
Consult David Burton's New Zealand Food and Cookery and he notes that explorer Charles Heaphy reckoned it "tastes like spider crab and though very palatable, would be much improved by vinegar and condiments".
Pane E Vino Italian restaurant in Ponsonby, Auckland, serves Spaghetti Ai Ricci Di Mare – kina with chilli, olive oil and parsley. It is a traditional dish, says Tito Cucciniello, but he imports his urchins from Italy. Opening the spiky sea eggs here, he says, would be too messy.
Bosley recommended wrapping kina in nori seaweed, dipping it in light tempura batter and deep frying it. But at $15-plus a pottle, will consumers take a risk on something they might not like?
"It would be nice to say this guide targets every New Zealander," says Subedar. "But, to be honest, we're targeting the ones that are making conscious decisions. We've given out over half a million guides since 2004 and now that it's going digital, we're going to get in the pockets of more New Zealanders.
"You can be sitting in a restaurant and see what the problem might be with eating some squid today – `Should I have the calamari as an entree or not?'
"Twenty years ago, we were world leaders in terms of our Quota Management System and since then we've lagged off."
The Seafood Industry Council concedes there could be improvements. Bodeker says it presented a "spring clean" of the system to government officials in December.
"It needs a refresh," he says. "We don't think the system is broken, but we think there is time to examine and implement more advanced systems which are now available due to technology and mathematical modelling."
In the meantime, he says "be careful what the numbers say".
There is "no doubt" fishing creates bycatch. Environmental groups will always be able to produce photographs such as the ones that accompany this story.
"We are operating in a wild environment. There is a catch of birds. There will be some mammal hooked in there, but a lot less than there used to be.
"There has been some overfishing. Orange roughy is a good example, and it happened probably because we didn't understand the fishery well enough and we stopped fishing in certain areas."
Some people, says Bodeker, argue we are going to fish out the last fish in the ocean.
"There is a hungry world that needs feeding and the sea does have a sustainable resource and as long as you manage it like we are here, it won't be fished out."
Fleur Sullivan, of Fleur's Place in Moeraki, has provided a blue-cod and little neck-clam recipe for the launch of the Best Fish Guide.
"When I first opened the restaurant nine years ago, every single person wanted only blue cod. That is incredibly tedious in a kitchen where you've got access to beautiful fish off our boats.
"Now I can get people to have moki or monkfish, with anchovy butter and smoked mussels. Trevally makes wonderful raw fish salads. Last night, we had tarakihi fillet, baked with almond and brown butter sauce and capers."
Sustainable, ecologically sound eating is a philosophy, she agrees.
"But with me, it's normal because my mum and my grandmother didn't have a fridge." She laughs. "You got what you could and you ate it. I have no idea when that became strange."

Thornbury, Vic
It is such a pity that a great cyclist felt compelled to take drugs to give him
the last few percent in order to be competitive with the other drug cheats.
Remember it does not matter how much performance enhancing drugs you give a
donkey it is never going to win the Grand National. Like wise Lance and US
Postal were great tacticians who trained hard for months so they knew the course
inside out.
It would be good if the World cycling body drew a line saying the period between 1990 and 2010 were drug influenced and moved on. That way Lance and the others could admit what happened and move on also.

It will drive a cold front across the PAH FA, with associated showers/storms, currently seen across central ptns IL-MO, accompanying its passage. Such activity will diminish, but might not go away altogether, after loss of daytime heating. As such, our highest pops will be north and west, with lowest pops south and east, and fropa occurring completely with lower trop winds going nwlys by tmrw morning. Another front enters the forecast pic Saturday-Saturday night. It is a warm boundary that develops across the Plains, but it extends into/across our FA. Showers and storms will be associated with the front. The long term and now short term modeling has been very inconsistent on the exact placement of this boundary, with regard to our FA. Therefore, we will tweak the guidance and stay chance category warm advection type Pops to close the short term Sat-Sat night. Relatively speaking, Pops should spike afterward (long term portion of forecast) when the system pushes this direction in more earnest. Today and tmrw will be similar with temps. Saturday will see reinforcement of cooler air from surface High, til aforementioned warm front can impact. Basically, 80s/60s remain the rule, though it`s possible a few highs in the 70s in the farthest northeast counties may come to fruition on Saturday, thanks to the surface High. .LONG TERM...(Sunday through Thursday) Issued at 234 PM CDT Thu Jun 30 2016 This period will start off with a sfc warm front to our south that will gradually progress north across the region Sunday into Sunday night. This will be in response to sfc low pressure developing to our west in the Plains. Scattered convection will exist as the warm front lifts north across our area. Highest PoPs will be confined to the far northern/western portions of the area, while much of western KY and portions of SEMO may end up dry most of the day. As the sfc low pivots E/NE toward SEMO by 12Z Mon, precip coverage/intensity will ramp up Sunday night through the day on Monday. A cold front will push thru Monday into Monday night with likely PoPs areawide. With plenty of instability in place, forcing along the front may be enough to pop off a few strong storms on Monday. At this time, it appears the best coverage of showers/storms will exist over portions of west KY/southwest IN Monday evening. However, with being 4 days out, the timing of the front thru the area is subject to change. Hopefully we can get the front thru fast enough to get much of the precip south and east of the area before fireworks in the evening. Total precipitation thru the holiday weekend looks to range from around 1 inch along the AR/TN borders to near 3 inches across our far northwest counties. The QPF bullseye looks to be off to our northwest over northern/central MO into west central IL. Differences in the models lead to lower confidence in the forecast starting Tuesday. The GFS and Canadian have high pressure nudging into the area in the wake of the cold front, while the ECMWF has the precip lingering as the front washes out over or near the area. Consensus and collaboration with neighboring offices keeps slight chance PoPs in Tuesday. Heights will gradually rise mid to late next week, and in the transition, weak disturbances moving thru the flow, will tend to set off showers/storms. Ensembles/models don`t agree on the timing of these, and thus the consensus keeps slight chance PoPs in Wednesday and Thursday. As for temperatures, Sunday will be the coolest day, at least for the northern half of the area. Highs may struggle to reach 80 in northern communities, with persistent cloud cover and rounds of precipitation. A decent gradient looks to set up with highs close to 90 near the AR/TN border. Highs will average in the mid/upper 80s on Monday and Tuesday, which is slightly below normal. As upper level heights rise, temps look to jump a bit above normal by mid/late next week as highs breach the 90 degree mark areawide, with lows generally above 70. && .AVIATION... Issued at 103 PM CDT Thu Jun 30 2016 Convection working across central MO will arrive KCGI vicinity around 21Z on current track. Have included vicinity mention for its possibility. Otherwise, convective blow off mid decks may impact terminals this pm and early evening. Overnight, front eventually makes passage, with northwesterlies by tmrw morning and probably, a low VFR sct-bkn cloud accompaniment.

Portraying his suicide as the product of injustice, friends and supporters at a memorial for free-information advocate Aaron Swartz called for changing computer-crime laws and the legal system itself.
At a New York City ceremony that was part tribute and part rallying cry, Swartz - who killed himself this month as he faced trial on hacking charges - was painted as a precocious technologist, erudite activist and hounded hero. One speaker called him nothing less than an "internet saint."
To prosecutors, the 26-year-old Swartz was a thief whose aims to make information available didn't excuse the illegal acts he was charged with: breaking into a wiring closet at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and tapping into its computer network to download millions of paid-access scholarly articles, which he planned to share publicly.
But Swartz's girlfriend said the case drove him to his death.
"He was so scared and so frustrated and so desperate and, more than anything else, just so weary. I think he just couldn't take it another day," Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman told the hundreds of people who gathered to remember Swartz. ". In the end, he couldn't allow (prosecutors) to control him, either."
Friends attending the memorial remembered Swartz as a crusader for the open exchange of information - an "internet saint," in the words of Quinn Norton, a journalist who writes about hacker and online culture.
Doc Searls, 65, a columnist and advocate for making computer code publicly accessible, said he met Swartz when the tech prodigy was a teenager and noted that the two "were often generational bookends at conferences we went to."
"When we're young we think our cause is a sprint, and when we're middle-aged we thing is it's a marathon," Searls said. "But when we're old we think it's a relay race. And Aaron was the one you wanted to hand it off to."
A grandson of activist folk singer Pete Seeger, Kitama Jackson, read a note from his grandfather that said: "These modern times are filled with such contradictions that experts are not agreed on what the future of the human race will be. But we can agree today that it was a tragedy for this brilliant young man to be so threatened that he hanged himself."
Swartz was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment on Jan. 11 as a trial in Boston loomed in his future. Federal prosecutors said he planned to make the paid-access articles obtained via MIT's network available for free.
Whatever he aimed to do with the data, "stealing is stealing, whether you use a computer command or a crowbar," Boston US Attorney Carmen Ortiz said before Swartz's death.
But his family, admirers and some legal experts blasted the case as overreaching that drove Swartz to his death. His father, Robert Swartz, has said his son "was killed by the government."
The digital archive that holds the articles, JSTOR, has said it regretted being drawn into the criminal case and didn't pursue any claims against Swartz after he returned the data in 2011. Days before his death, the nonprofit JSTOR announced that it planned to make more than 4.5 million articles available for free.
Swartz had pleaded not guilty to some 13 felony charges. They carried the potential for decades in prison and enormous fines, though prosecutors have said they never intended to seek the maximum penalties.
A shaken Ortiz said this week she was "terribly upset about what happened," appearing near tears at one point as she spoke about the case. But she said her office handled it fairly and appropriately.
Swartz was a young teenager when he helped create RSS, technology for gathering updates from blogs, news sites and elsewhere on the Web. He later co-founded the social news site Reddit and Demand Progress, a group that campaigns against online censorship.
"He was trying to hack the whole world, in the best way." Demand Progress Executive Director David Segal told memorial attendees at the Great Hall at Cooper Union.
Roy Singham, founder of the software company Thoughtworks, said Swartz "deeply wanted to protect humanity's intellectual treasures" and keep them part of the public domain, and to ensure that technology was a tool for promoting democracy, rather than for amassing profit and power.
Glenn Otis Brown, director of business development at Twitter, remembered the precocious 15 or 16-year-old he met while working as the executive director of Creative Commons, which provides a way for people to license their code or online work for public use.
Swartz's role there was to translate legal software-licensing agreements into computer-readable code - a job he peppered with humor, such as reframing the complex legal concepts as haikus. For example, "Public domain: Do what you feel like / Since the work is abandoned / the law doesn't care," or "If you touch this file / my lawyers will come kill you / so kindly refrain."
Brown recalled a blog post Swartz once wrote about spending 30 days offline: "I felt like I was in control of my life, instead of the other way around."

macro commands for outgoing email Live Signatures enables you to define macro commands in your outgoing email messages, that will be replaced with a designated text when the message is sent. The program supports signatures from stored messages or text files that can be used for disclaimers, price lists or any other type of information that you may want to include in a message but not want it to be part of your standard Outlook signature text. The Live Signature macros can be inserted as needed and also offer dynamic variables for date and time, random quotes, or the name of the song that is currently playing in WinAmp. Since the program integrates with Outlook, you can also use the macro commands within your regular Outlook signatures. We found it inconvenient that the macro commands have to be remembered and typed in order to use them, rather than having them available from a drop down menu. Copyright Snapfiles.com

24 The Game – PS2
By now you've no doubt got yourself hooked on the fifth series of the popular television show 24.
00:01 The game loads. Set between seasons two and three, 24 The Game is yet another bad day for our hard-as-nails CTU agent.
00:04 The story, with scripting and voices from the lead cast members, gets going. It's the usual assassination attempt, this time the vice-president visiting LA with more side- and sub-plots than you can possibly imagine.
00:12 The clock is ticking fast and the game, fast pace and constant reminder that you've got to keep moving is forever present. The game developers feel that the best way to do this is to put timers on certain parts of the game. While this gives you the same feeling of the old platform games where you are being chased by a boulder, it does mean that you barely bother to pay any real attention to the threats coming your way.
00:16 Time flies in 24 The Game just like the missions. A heads-up display with directional arrow and map means that apart from looking up to blast a bad guy you can pretty much play the game using this alone.
00:23 While the graphics are good (well for the PS2 anyway) it's the voices of the characters from the series that make the difference here everyone from the actor who plays Tony Almeida to Kiefer Sutherland himself, however get past that and the AI of the bad guys is shockingly awful.
00:32 You might be rushing the levels, but that's because you've got over 100 to complete. Shame that some of them amount to simple puzzles like defusing bombs.
00:45 Luckily it's almost over and that's what you'll be hoping as you bludgeon you way through yet another firefight. With little skill required in aiming, it is automatic, and health packs aplenty all around, you've got to be a big fan of the series to enjoy this one.
00:50 Into the last 10 minutes, tick, tock, tick, tock. Take away the innovative story telling and the nice touches from the series like the dual screens where different action is happening at the same time and the game would struggle to survive.
00:59:57 Almost over, the end credits are coming.
00:59:58 Good storyline and cutscenes, shame that the show scripting boys and girls couldn't do the same once you're in-game.
00:59:59 Unless you are a die hard fan of the TV show, there are better things to waste 24 hours of your life on.

Ford Drives Dealers Toward Energy Efficiency
Ford is kicking off a voluntary sustainability initiative for its Ford and Lincoln Mercury dealers by appealing to them to reduce emissions and improve energy-efficiency at their facilities.
Ford plans to test for best practices at three dealerships in diverse climates, as part of what it is calling the "Go Green" dealer sustainability initiative.
The automaker is working with Rocky Mountain Institute, an energy-efficiency organization, to develop new technologies and architectural design principles that dealers can adopt.
The program aims to provide dealers with the ability to elevate energy efficiency and drive down operating costs
Ford unveiled its plan at the 2010 National Automobile Dealers Association Convention.
"This program … provides a variety of energy-efficient improvement options regardless of the current age and design of the facility," said Sue Cischke, group vice president, Sustainability, Environment and Safety Engineering, in a press release.
"This allows all dealers the opportunity to participate in improving the energy efficiency of their facility and gives them flexibility in making choices that are right for them and their dealership," she said.
Dealers considering joining the 'Go Green' Dealership Sustainability Program will receive a comprehensive energy assessment from sustainability personnel at Ford, who will help tailor a program to meet the needs of the dealer, for both existing and new construction.
Ford also is trying to hook dealers up with State and Federal tax credits and incentives.
The first three dealers will hail from Florida, New York and Nevada.

Madison Heights
Madison Heights native, wrestling legend, to promote book at Royal Oak book store
By Jason Carmel Davis
Posted July 10, 2013
Madison Heights native Jim Myers is the namesake for the football field at Madison Heights Madison High School, but he's probably most known for his portrayal of wrestler George "The Animal" Steele over the course of a 25-year wrestling career.
Myers will make an appearance at the Royal Oak Barnes and Noble to promote his biography, "Animal," in an appearance set for 7 p.m. July 18 at the book store located at 500 Main St. in Royal Oak. Author Jim Evans helped Myers pen the biography, which was published by Chicago-based Triumph Books.
Myers was a full-time physical education teacher and coach at Madison High; he coached football for 25 years — the last twelve years as the head coach, according to his website www.georgetheanimalsteele.com.
Myers is also credited with starting the Madison High wrestling program in 1966 and saw the squad win a Michigan High School Athletic Association state championship in 1969. Over the 16 years Myers coached the Eagles' wresting team, Madison compiled a record of 188-41-2.
For more information on Myers, his career and book, check his website.

English Publication Divvies Up Millenia of Jewish Scholarship
As it nears its one-year anniversary, an English-language publication is changing the way people study foundational Jewish texts by making it possible to carry a bookshelf's worth of titles wherever they go. Launched by two businessmen in the skies above South Africa, Chayenu today counts men, women, professionals, rabbinical students and lay leaders as vocal supporters.
According to Rabbi Michoel Goldman, who directs the weekly publishing project, Chayenu – its Hebrew name means "our life" – gets its inspiration from directives of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, of righteous memory, who in 1984, encouraged Jewish men, women and children everywhere to unite in the daily study of Maimonides' legal code in addition to studying the weekly Torah portion and the Tanya, the foundational work of Chabad-Lubavitch Chasidic thought authored in the 18th century by the First Chabad Rebbe, Rabbi Schneur Zalman of Liadi.
As with a years-long effort in Hebrew known as Dvar Malchus, the Chayenu publication includes three separate study cycles of Maimonides' code, along with the weekly Torah portion and associated commentaries, and daily portions of the Tanya.
Goldman traced the original concept to his brother, Mendel Goldman, and his brother's employer, Louis Pearlman. The two were on a business trip when Pearlman noticed that Goldman was studying from the Hebrew Dvar Malchus. Pearlman wanted to know where he could get the booklet in English, and Goldman explained that he couldn't.
"So let's do that in English!" exclaimed Pearlman.
As trustees of the Tomchei Torah Academy Trust, they secured an initial grant and a portion of the ongoing funding for the project, and approached Michoel Goldman to run the day-to-day operations.
"It's really quite a massive undertaking, and it's still a work in progress," says Michoel Goldman, who is always on the lookout for more donors. "The unique thing about Chayenu is the diversity of its crowd. There are people who have a full yeshiva education who use it, and there are people with no formal Jewish educational background using it. There is something for everyone in it."
Rabbi Yossi Korik, director of Chabad-Lubavitch of Roseville, Calif., started a class using the publication last summer. Today, the class attracts seven to eight people each week.
"People are intrigued by the idea of going through the whole Torah," explains Korik. "There are some who might not necessarily come to synagogue on Rosh Hashanah, but become very involved with learning Maimonides out of Chayenu. It also exposes people to subjects that they would never come across in a regular Chabad House class. It's really an amazing thing."
Dr. Jonathan Tobin, president and CEO of Clinical Directors Network and a clinical professor at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, agrees. He explains that the magazine's rich content and portability has made Torah study more accessible than ever before, especially for someone with a busy work week and a large amount of traveling.
"Every Thursday I come for a class at Chabad of Midtown, and Rabbi Shemtov has been extremely helpful in setting aside a Chayenu for me," says Tobin. "I was in Washington, and Mendel got one for me before I left.
"The organization of it makes it accessible to someone who doesn't have such a formal yeshiva background," he continues. "It's really a reward for me."

Best of the 2014 World Cup Fans
Sure Germany won the 2014 World Cup and Brazil was crucified. But at this point, who cares? All we care about are the cutest fans that were in attendance.
We are certain a few of these girls (especially China see below) could get tracked down by modeling agencies. After all the way some of these women are dressed and made-up they were looking for that global attention. It can happen ladies.
Case and point of the Belgian beauty who scored a L'Oreal modeling deal after her World Cup photos went viral earlier this week has been released from her contract.
The decision comes after 17-year-old Axelle Despiegelaere sparked outrage on Facebook with a picture showing her posing with a dead oryx gazelle she had hunted in Africa, The Independent reports.
