October 2, 2013
EDMONTON, AB, Oct 2, 2013/ Troy Media/ – There are claims that Alberta's oil sands are claimed to be the "engine of the country", producing "ethical oil". These and other monikers are used by supporters to evoke images of Canada as an energy superpower unlike any other.
In reality, the oil sands are a marginal source of oil that only gained traction because of world supply disruptions.
The demise of carbon capture, once hyped as the panacea for high carbon emitters, is a foreshadowing of the idling of new projects and the return of the oil sands to its historic position as a backstop fuel.
Carbon capture has always been more of a political solution than a scientific one. It has never been commercialized, development is more expensive and complex than originally thought, and the power generation needed to compress carbon dioxide leads to increased emissions of other air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide.
New projects, including ones in Alberta and Norway, have been cancelled and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has ended plans to mandate carbon capture in existing coal-fired power plants. While the technical issues could be overcome with enough time and money, the economic issues that underlie this paradigm shift, from controlling carbon in old technology to a low carbon society where "no means no", cannot.
World oil supply has increased through efficiencies, better use of oil, and increased world production. Saudi Arabia, for example, has reduced the amount of oil it uses for power by 100,000 bpd this year alone and it is estimated that by 2020 structural changes in it and other Gulf nations will add three million bpd to the world market. Political and security changes in Iran, Libya, Syria, and Iraq all have the potential to add several million bpd into the world market, in spite of Canada's reluctance to acknowledge these advances.
Increases in world oil supply will reduce the price and cause the oil sands barrel to once again become the marginal barrel – the one that is the most costly to produce and the first to be replaced. The failure of carbon capture will mean that oil sands will not only be the most costly economically, but also environmentally; questioning further development of this resource.
As important as supply is, demand is equally important. Oil demand is generally viewed as inelastic: a price increase will not significantly lower demand. Elasticity, however, changes over time and within geographic regions. Demand in North America and Europe has stabilized but people are increasingly looking at the source of their fuel and making choices based on what they feel is ethical; a trend that is moving us away from high carbon fuels. But even though oil demand is inelastic, the demand for high carbon fuels is not and the "elasticity of carbon," rather than the "elasticity of oil," is a better determinant of future demand.
Oil is a global commodity and demand is increasing in Asia, but Asian usage is not following the same trajectory as in the West. The trend in these countries can be best compared to the wireless industry, where consumers jumped from no phone to a smart phone. These consumers are buying smaller, more efficient, cars and driving less than in North America, while at the same time their governments are rapidly implementing efficiency standards and developing alternative technologies.
The oil sands could satisfy short term Asian demand, if it could compete with other oil, but development in the oil sands is extremely costly and therefore dominated by the supermajors, such as Shell, Exxon, and various state-owned companies. These companies are spending more money to develop less oil in the oil sands than in other areas of the world and returns on investments are poor. Therefore, it is unlikely that Asian demand will support long-term oil sands development.
The supermajors are evolving to meet these new realities. Natural gas is currently more than 40 per cent of their production – for Shell and Exxon it is more than 50 per cent. As people increasingly turn to gas as a transportation fuel, these companies will increasingly becoming gas companies and oil sands assets will become obsolete. Canada's economic engine is becoming just too expensive to run.
Carbon capture was at best a stop-gap measure to be used on an interim basis while the world shifted to gas and other technologies. That future is now. The oil sands do not make economic and environmental sense and we shouldn't be seen as a country that merely puts racing stripes on a horse and buggy and calls it a race car. I believe we are better than that.

Leslie Howard Movies and Career Information
Apr 03, 1893
Forest Hill, London
Actor and Director
Leslie Howard (3 April 1893 – 1 June 1943) was an English stage and film actor, director, and producer. Among his best-known roles was Ashley Wilkes in Gone with the Wind (1939) and roles in Berkeley Square (1933), Of Human Bondage (1934), The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934), The Petrified Forest (1936), Pygmalion (1938), Intermezzo (1939), Pimpernel Smith (1941) and The First of the Few (1942). Howard's Second World War activities included acting and filmmaking. He was active in anti-Nazi propaganda and reputedly involved with British or Allied Intelligence, which may have led to his untimely death in 1943 when his airliner was shot down, sparking modern conspiracy theories regarding his death. Howard was born Leslie Howard Steiner to a British mother, Lilian (née Blumberg) and a Hungarian father, Ferdinand Steiner, in Forest Hill, London, UK, and educated at Alleyn's School, London. There was some Jewish background on both sides of his family. Like many others around the time of the First World War, the family changed their name, using "Stainer" as less German-sounding. He worked as a bank clerk before enlisting at the outbreak of the First World War. He served in the British Army as a

The potential overhaul of the State Pension System receives criticism from U.S. Senator Jim Bunning. The pension overall has been endorsed by Governor Fletcher and the State Senate, but has yet to pass.
Bunning said a plan to overhaul the system would overburden the state's financial future.
The plan pending in the General Assembly calls for the state to sell about $800 million in pension bonds to give its financially troubled public retirement systems a cash infusion.
Under the proposal, future employees would no longer receive the traditional pensions enjoyed by current employees and retirees. Instead they would have benefits similar to private sector retirement offerings.

Launching the Browser from within an iPhone application
It is sometimes nice to be able to launch a browser from within your applications. Though not as elegant as the use of a UIWebView, it is much easier.
NOTE Because it is possible for an application to bind itself to a URL (like Google Maps), this technique can also be used to launch other applications on the device.
Here is a simple example of how to open safari with a specific URL:
1 2
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:@"http://www.iphonedevelopertips.com"]; [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:url];
17 comments
So can we launch the app store this way to a particular product page, for example?
How can I zoom UIWebView content like I am opening map on UIWebView then how can I zoom it?
can i test launching sms or calling some number using openURL in iphone simulator?
@aniruddha You can't test the SMS function that I am aware of because there is no SMS client in the emulator. You will have to test on a real device.
Thanks for the comment.
Where do you put this and how do you call a button to launch it? Please help. Thank you!
So, it's weird, but when I call that code, it launches the browser with two windows to the same site.
Any thoughts?
I want to program an iPhone application that would monitor in real time for the incoming text from the phone number associated with my arduino/GSM Playground. Once the text is received the next step is for the background application to simulate a button press inside the Clifford smart start application and start the vehicle. Is it possible to have this application launch the clifford smart start application and simulate a button press?
this really helps me
and it is daam easy
thanks o(~_^)o
how to config for app call to other app?
example : [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel:1-408-555-5555″]];
=>how to app working?
just only need [[UIApplication sharedApplication] openURL:[NSURL URLWithString:@"tel:1-408-555-5555″]]; the app will be call?
please expalin for me
Say that the app is itself launched from Safari, is there a way to return to that same window/tab (with a new URL)?
Regarding "newby developer" question: it appears that it is *not* possible to return to the same tab…always seems to make new one, no matter that it duplicates an existing tab's URL…
My question: I've been able to launch Safari from an action inside my running iOS application. Cool… But, I'd like to launch Safari when the user kills my app by hitting the hardware home (back?) button. If I stick the openURL call in any view controller or app delegate call that are invoked upon exit, Safari does not get launched. I presume that it is because this request comes "too late" in the process. Any suggestions?
How do you create an icon for the basic icons such as phone, photo and anything that's not listed under schemes? I've tried create your own custom URL and it does not accept it.

College Hockey:Knight scores two as North Dakota holds off St. Cloud
SAINT CLOUD, Minn. — Aaron Dell said he had "seen more subtle kicks in soccer" than the one off Ben Hanowski's skate Saturday night.
With 31.5 seconds to go in North Dakota's 3-2 win at St. Cloud State, Huskies forward Hanowski swung his skate at a loose puck sitting in the middle of the crease. It split North Dakota goalie Dell's pads and went to the back of the goal. North Dakota players immediately huddled around the referee, begging for a video review.
"I was right on top of the crease and I saw (Hanowski) kick it in right away, so it was kind of a relief," said North Dakota forward Corban Knight. "We had about a five guys around the ref, barking in his ear to go review it. It was a playoff-like atmosphere tonight."
The goal was disallowed, and North Dakota thwarted further St. Cloud pressure and came away with the win, led by Knight's two goals in the first period that gave North Dakota its second first-intermission lead of the weekend, but only the sixth of the season.
"We talked about starting at the drop of the puck and we got a good first period from everybody," said North Dakota coach Dave Hakstol, who earned win 200 for his career. "It carried through to a close win."
North Dakota got on the board when Danny Kristo carried the puck out of the right corner and centered a pass by St. Cloud defender Jordy Christian to Knight skating down the slot, who beat Ryan Faragher glove side 1:57 into the game.
The Huskies answered with an Andrew Prochno goal 53 seconds later, but Knight struck again at the 6:07 mark when Faragher didn't cover up on Joe Gleason's perimeter shot and Knight swooped in to bury the trash.
"The momentum shifted pretty fast after that goal," Knight said. "It was nice to get the lead back and keep it for the rest of the game."
North Dakota took a two-goal lead 2:50 into the second period on a wraparound goal by Brock Nelson, but the Huskies again had an answer. Jared Festler took the puck all the way to the goal line before he backhanded it to David Eddy in the slot, who tipped it past Dell with 5:45 left in the second period.
Though the third period finished without a goal for either side, there was plenty of excitement, and loads of opportunities for the Huskies to tie the game. North Dakota's Andrew MacWilliam committed an interference penalty with 3:12 remaining in the game, but the Huskies couldn't find the equalizer. The St. Cloud power play went 0-for-7, on the weekend but had 10 power play shots on goal in four chances Saturday.
"We had all the chances, but we couldn't find a way to put it in," Prochno said. "We got a lot of shots through, and got some rebounds, but we couldn't get a goal out of it."
Hanowski hit the pipe on a wide-open net from close range to the left of Dell with 2:10 remaining in the third period. After sitting out Friday's game, Dell was very steady in net for North Dakota.
"It was a character win tonight, and was great for us to get a dirty road win," said Dell, who stopped 28 shots.
While the Huskies were throwing everything at the North Dakota net to tie the game, Ryan Faragher was doing everything he could to keep St. Cloud in the game on the other end. Faragher finished with 33 saves for St. Cloud, and stopped 84-of-88 shots on the weekend for the Huskies.
North Dakota (13-10-2 overall, 9-9-0 WCHA) will try to avenge an early-season sweep next week when it hosts Wisconsin at Ralph Engelstad Arena. St. Cloud (10-12-4, 7-8-3) plays a home-and-home series with Minnesota next week, starting at 7:07 p.m. Friday at Mariucci Arena.

Golson hoping to regain eligibility in 2014
NOTRE DAME — Everett Golson is out for 2013, but he'll try to come back to Notre Dame in 2014.
Last year's starting quarterback is no longer enrolled at the school due to what he called "poor academic judgement" in a statement released to ESPN and the Associated Press on Sunday, May 26.
News of Golson's departure became public late Saturday night, when WNDU announced that Notre Dame had confirmed the quarterback was no longer with the school. Soon after, sources cropped up saying Golson's sudden unenrollment was tied to an academic violation.
"I have been informed by the University of Notre Dame that due to my poor academic judgment that I have been suspended from the University for the 2013 Fall Term," Golson said in the statement. "I take full responsibility for my poor choices and will do all that is asked of me to regain the trust of my family, friends, teammates, coaches and the entire Notre Dame community.
"I chose to attend Notre Dame because of its mission to develop me both on and off the football field."
Golson led Notre Dame to the BCS national championship game in January and a 12-1 record overall as a redshirt freshman. He planned to return as the starting quarterback for 2013 after a highly praised month of spring practices.
"My parents and the community I grew up in have instilled values in me that have and will continue to allow me to be successful in the future," Golson's statement continued. "There have been many lessons learned as I worked to become the starting quarterback at Notre Dame and each was a result of Coach Kelly's belief in me as an athlete and a person.
"At this point, I understand how my integrity could be in question but I want to reassure my supporters that through this experience I will return a better student athlete as well as a better individual.
"Lastly, I want to thank the University of Notre Dame for the opportunity already granted and also the opportunity going forth to regain my eligibility in the winter of 2014."
Golson's unenrollment comes on the tail of fellow quarterback Gunner Kiel's departure in March. Kiel is now at Cincinnati, which leaves the door open for senior Tommy Rees, fourth-year junior Andrew Hendrix and early enrollee Malik Zaire to compete for time under center.
Rees has started 18 games for Notre Dame but was benched after a run-in with South Bend police last May.

It is a good thing that more and more people crave handmade products with quality design in mind. With Etsy and other sites like it becoming popular, sellers seek better product photography in order to stand out from the crowd. Stores and businesses also want high quality product photography for their brochure printing, card printing, and other promotional materials. Any photographer new to shooting products can try out the following approaches.
Approach #1 – Traditional
This approach emphasizes the details of the product itself, we would showcase the product with nothing else but a white background. You certainly can invest in a sophisticated macro lighting kit, but why pay more if you can get things done with the equipment you may already have. I used a DIY home product studio and you certainly can try, too. Here's what you need:
- A white table or a table covered with a piece of large white paper.
- A tri-fold display board. About $5 at a drug store. I used a tri-fold shipping box that I saved from a previous shipment of extra large prints, one side of the box is white, perfect as a white backdrop.
- Your strobe light with white umbrella setup on a light stand.
This is how I shot the sample hat photo. The hat was placed on a white marble coffee table by the window in my living room. I opened the tri-fold board and had it stand on the table securing it with some furniture from the back. The hat now is surrounded by this white board in a 180 degree fashion. I then placed my strobe light setup in front of the hat at about a 45 degree angle. I used a mid-range zoom lens to shoot. The final image will probably show details of the tri-fold and the table as well, in my case, patterns of the marble stone. To get rid of these details, I used the Level tool in Photoshop to blow up the highlight, and then used the brush tool to recover the edges of the hat to its original exposure. And there it is, a photo of sharp details of the product with a white background.
Approach #2 – Artsy
The first approach might be good for eBay products and magazine ads, but consumers with sophisticated taste might be looking for something presented in a very artsy, eye-catching way. They also want to get inspirations from the photos, which could suggest the function of the product. When an etsy seller asked me to photograph a set of handmade crochet items, I immediately realized a simple white background is not going to work. I searched the house and found some interesting items to use as props, a vintage toy size baby carriage, a colorful quilt, some acrylic ice cubes, and a modern wood bench. I carefully arranged them to make a striking composition. Lighting can be easy or a little more complex. For example, in the sample photo with the baby carriage, I used window light alone to create a very calm mood. In the sample photo with the ice cubes, I used window light as side light, and then setup my tri-fold board and strobe light as described above. The ice cubes really added some interest aspect to the overall picture because of its translucent quality.
Great photos of products will definitely generate great interest in purchasing. No matter which approach you choose to use, take lots of photos from different angles of your setup, rearrange your props and shoot more, zoom in to shoot some close-up details. With some practice, you will be taking professional looking product photos in no time.
Hope you've learned a few tips from me. Before my next write-up, have fun shooting product photos that generate great interests and sales.

BEAUTY POSSESSED - Opening few pages
Shall I tell you how I murdered him; how I murdered the man I loved? I can tell it, now that the trials are over, and now that I can see more clearly my culpability.
It's the opening night performance of the Roof Garden's latest pastiche, Mamzelle Champagne. The Roof Garden Theater is an open-air restaurant, atop Madison Square Garden. A terrace surrounded by a colonnade, with a stage for theatrical productions, all beneath a tower, soaring over three hundred feet into the air, and topped with a large bronze statue of the goddess Diana, balancing necked, on one foot, atop a rotating ball, so that she can turn with the wind.
I'm being photographed, sitting at a table. The photographer is Daniel Weyland. He's photographed me many times before and is perfectly suited for his occupation, for he seems to have a cognitive sense for newsworthy things about to happen. That's why he's there at the Roof Garden Theater tonight and why he's asking permission to take just one more photograph of me, sitting alone at the dinner table. I hold on to a smile just long enough for the flash. Then he tips his hat and is about to walk away but pauses, a look on his face seeming to betray some knowledge of the thing he senses is about to happen. My smile quickly fades. The truth is I am yet unaware of my part in what is about to happen, the control I have over it. Not consciously aware. So he walks away and I resume my search out over the audience for my husband, "Harry K. Thaw of Pittsburg", the phrase Harry is accustomed to using when introducing himself to strangers. As if heir to forty million dollars and controlling interest in the Pennsylvania Railroad were not entitlement enough to some minor genuflection. The restaurant is filled to capacity with New York's finest, finely dressed, eating, drinking, watching and thoroughly enjoying the opening night performance. The show began with a pretty girl popping out of a papier-mache champagne bottle and singing.
There he is, my husband, pacing back and forth nervously in front of the stage. It's a hot June night but Harry is wearing a long winter coat and a scarf wrapped around his neck. Odd, but not for Harry, who's eccentricities are as dark and deep-set as the moods he often falls into.
My first impression of "Harry K. Thaw of Pittsburg" was of a man whose face attracts and at the same time repels: a curious look in his eyes, a sinister brutality about the mouth. But he was a persistent suitor, and so for that and other reasons, I had married him, just over one year ago, at the age of twenty.
Harry is standing with his back to the stage, looking out over the audience, with a dark, fixed stare. Up on the stage, two actors have begun to play out a dueling scene with pistols in their hands. Several tables of people are becoming irritated at Harry, blocking their view of the performance. I motion for him to come back to the table and he reluctantly starts back.
Just then, a stir begins in the back corner of the restaurant as Stanford White enters and is warmly greeted. Six feet, two inches, in his early fifties, Stanford has flaming red hair and a thick mustache bristling as if charged with electricity.
On stage, twenty beautiful chorus girls dance on and the lead actor begins to sing "I Could Love A Million Girls", a proper fanfare, considering Stannie's reputation. He makes his way down through the tables, nodding to one, stopping to talk at another. He seemes more the star of the evening than the performers. Finally he arrives at the table, which has been reserved for him, directly in front of the stage and center, for he is, after all, the producer of the show, as well as the designer of the building. He sits and is greeted by the couple sitting at the next table. Now Harry sees Stanford and springs to his feet. I grab hold of his arm and plead with him to sit back down, but he pulls free and starts across toward Stanford's table. Stan has turned his attention to the lovely showgirls, up on the stage, whispering amongst themselves with excitement over his arrival. Harry makes his way down to the front of the stage then crosses, stopping in front of Stan's table. Stan looks up at him. Harry leans over, whispers something into Stan's ear, steps back, reaches into his overcoat and pulls out a revolver. I spring to my feet. "Stanny!", I cry out, but the sound is lost beneath the gaiety of music and singers and laughter from the audience. Harry pulls the trigger and Stan's head snaps back. Harry pulls the trigger a second time and Stanford begins to slide out of his chair, pulling the tablecloth off with him. Harry shoots a third time and the table tips over as Stan falls to the floor. Silverware slides away and is lost beneath the other tables. A wine glass explodes against the floor, sending dark pools of red and shards of glass into a million glittering pieces. On stage, the singing and dancing stop. One at a time, the musicians fall silent, until finally, the entire cast is standing, not quite able to comprehend what has happened. Thinking it is part of the performance, someone from the audience laughs loudly. Stan is lying flat on his back, a crimson pool of blood spreading out beneath him. He would have liked the color.
Lying there, looking up, he can see Diana, balanced on top of the tower he himself had designed and the first decent breeze of the evening turns her away from him. A subtle smile plays across his face as he remembers the night he and Gus had unveiled her to the public. What a row they had caused.
That was the "how". And you may think that, since Harry had pulled the trigger, I didn't actually kill Stannie. But it's just as often the things we do not do that shape the events of our lives. Words left unsaid, questions unanswered, the choices we make which shape our guilt by exclusion. Now if you ask "why" I killed the man I loved, which would be a better question, I would have to tell you more of the story. And you will probably draw your own conclusions before I've come back around again to the end of it. Only because I'm not quite sure of the "why". The "how" is a simple string of events. But the "why" requires I understand everything that has happened to me in the short period of time that represents my life, leading up to Stannie's death.
The media circus that settled upon the course of what followed that night, did what it does best, by condensing the whys down to an easily digestible rhetoric, a shorthand of emotions, for which the public could quickly understand, so as to move on to the more important issues of what I was wearing at the trials or
who the designers of so and so's hat or gown might have been. The more familiar elements of that rhetoric, jealousy, blind rage, sex and revenge, were easily justified in the public's mind when Harry chose to use "The Unwritten Law" as his primary defense, during the trial. Written or not, it was an argument that did little to assuage my growing sense of guilt, and why I will tell you how it is that I was led to this time and place. How I came to be a captive in a gilded cage, or so it seemed to me at the time, trapped between two men of great power, wealth and prestige.
But before I go back there, back to Tarentum, let me tell you why it is that my lover, lying there in a pool of his own blood, is smiling, as he looks up and sees his precious Diana turning from him.

KINGSTON, R.I. – Rickey Stevens (Rochester, N.Y.) and Nigel Jones (Pleasantville, N.J.) each rushed for over 100 yards as the University of Maine football team defeated Rhode Island 55-6 in the season finale for the Black Bears in Kingston, R.I. Maine finishes its season at 5-6 overall and 4-4 in CAA play while Rhode Island finishes 0-11 and 0-8 in league play.
Maine got on the board first when Wasilewski rolled to his left and threw across his body to an open Justin Perillo (Wilmington, Del.) in the right-back corner of the endzone for the score. Stevens had a key 35-yard run in the 5-play, 69-yard drive.
Wasilewski put Maine up 21-0 when he found Arthur Williams (Springfield, Mass.) for a 13-yard score to complete a 10-play, 79-yard drive two minutes into the second quarter.
Rhode Island responded with a Bob Bentsen two-yard score, but on the ensuing kickoff Damarr Aultman (Wheatley Heights, N.Y.) returned it 94 yards for the touchdown.
Perillo finished the scoring in the first half with a 12-yard reception from Wasilewski and Maine took a 34-6 lead into halftime.
Maine got on the board five minutes into the third on a 24-yard score by Stevens and Williams added a 42-yard touchdown reception early in the fourth.

In this alberta@noon column on CBC Radio One with host Donna McElligott I discuss what options are available to Research in Motion, maker of the BlackBerry, in the shadow of a massive stock price drop. We talk about what this means for the Canadian tech sector, national pride, and Kitchener-Waterloo tech startups by looking at Critical Mass and the oil and gas industry in Calgary. We also look at how they might be able to get back on track by examining comparisons to Google and Apple's work.
This is our last Tech and Trends column before we take a summer hiatus. Time to start dreaming up some new ideas for topics for the fall…
CBC Radio Column: Etsy, Urban Outfitters and Miley Cyrus?! (Plus iCloud)
Filed under: CBC Radio Column, Technology
In this alberta@noon column on CBC Radio One with host Donna McElligott I introduce listeners to the website Etsy and then talk about the he said/she said battle going on between an artisan who uses Etsy and Urban Outfitters. And then Miley Cyrus gets involved. Does the site put small businesses on equal footing with global ones? Following that we discuss Apple's latest announcement at WWDC: iCloud, and what it could mean for how you access documents and music.
CBC Radio column: A stolen laptop and the future of criminal justice
Filed under: CBC Radio Column, Technology
In this alberta@noon column on CBC Radio One with host Donna McElligott I talk about the future of crime fighting. Specifically we discuss the saga of Sean Power and his stolen laptop. He had free tracking software that he used to see what the thief was doing and live-tweeted the entire event. His followers, friends and others solved the crime and even got the laptop back. All from 800 km away. And after the police wouldn't help. What could this mean for the future of crime fighting? Welcome to the world of personal responsibility.
CBC Radio column: Time to change Elections Canada's arcane rules
Filed under: Canada, CBC Radio Column, Politics, Technology
In this alberta@noon column on CBC Radio One with host Donna McElligott I talk about Elections Canada's ban on reporting the results of a federal election in a time zone where the polls have not closed yet. Topics include the $25,000 fine, the difference between media and people using social media, #tweettheresults becoming the most used hashtag in the world in the recent election, and clever ways to report results including Brits, Australians and Americans tweeting on our behalf. How do we even find these people? Do we have the resources? We also talk about whether Twitter tried to block tweets or were there just jokes being taken seriously. Elections Canada is fighting a losing battle. When shutting down the internet is the best option available to you, you need to rethink your strategy. It's long overdue to reexamine our election night social media ban and find new ways to address this issue.
CBC Radio column: The tablet computer market and the BlackBerry Playbook
Filed under: CBC Radio Column, Technology
In this alberta@noon column on CBC Radio One with guest host Holly Preston and I talk about the BlackBerry Playbook, calling it a cross between a tablet and a smart phone, while highlighting it's touch border, lack of apps, user interface, and it's need to tether to a BlackBerry. We also discuss the GSlate and other Android tablets. Yes, they play flash and it's powerful and less expensive. We also talk about how the tablet market has taken off – we've realized we didn't want bells and whistles and buttons on our computers, we just wanted functionality – and third party developers are being leveraged to customize every device. What's next? The restaurant industry.

For the week of
June 29, 2012
- carolinajournal.com
Reaction of the Week
RALEIGH — In recent months, liberal advocacy
groups have conducted a concerted attack against the American
Legislative Exchange Council, the Washington, D.C.-based nonpartisan
public-policy group created in 1973 that promotes federalism, free
markets, and limited government, reports Carolina Journal.
The challenge, led by Common Cause, claims that ALEC has abused its
501(c)3 tax-exempt status under the IRS code by engaging illegally in
"taxpayer-subsidized lobbying" for hundreds of bills in state
legislatures across the country.
Common Cause filed a whistleblower complaint in April with the IRS. A
month later, Common Cause sent a letter to North Carolina Attorney
General Roy Cooper, asking the state to investigate ALEC's tax status.
Common Cause also has used social media to encourage Facebook and
Twitter followers to lobby corporate sponsors of ALEC to end their
Common Cause and its left-wing allies have relied heavily on an analysis prepared by the Ralph Nader-founded Center for Media and Democracy accusing ALEC
of relying almost entirely on corporate money and conservative
foundations for its financial support — skewing its agenda to favor the
interests of its donors — and being dominated by partisan Republican
lawmakers. If ALEC is in actuality an organization that supports
Republican candidates and Republican ideas, critics say, it should not
get favorable tax treatment from the federal government.
CJ: Perdue will veto budgetRALEIGH — Democratic Gov. Bev Perdue on Friday
said she planned to veto the budget adjustments passed by the
GOP-dominated General Assembly. "The budget doesn't do enough to invest in our
children's future," Perdue said during a morning press conference
announcing her plans to veto the bill.
CJ: Bill altering competition among health insurers faces NCGA deadlineRALEIGH — As the 2012 short session of the General Assembly approaches adjournment, smaller health insurance companies are still fighting for a bill that they hope would make the industry more competitive in the state.
CJ: Tensions fester between hunters and landowners over dogsRALEIGH — A battle simmering between landowners
and deer hunters who use dogs shows no signs of easing. Landowners
believe that deer-dog hunters are infringing on their property rights
because they have little recourse if hunters let dogs run loose on their
CJ: Wake decision puts bus/rail plan in limboRALEIGH — Wake County's decision not to put a
half-cent sales tax referendum on the Nov. 6 general election ballot "is
troubling" to Durham County officials, and will affect how they move
forward with a tri-county regional transit plan featuring a mixture of
light rail and expanded bus service.
NC DOT letters inquiry heading to ethics panelRALEIGH — Senate Republicans agreed
Thursday to send the contents of its two-week investigation over edited
letters to lawmakers attributed to a high-ranking state Department of
Transportation official to the State Ethics Commission for further

Capital Quotes
"As long as I am governor, I will fight to make sure the death penalty stays on the books in North Carolina. But it has to be carried out fairly — free of prejudice."— Gov. Bev Perdue, as quoted by the Associated Press, in a statement announcing that she was vetoing revisions to the Racial Justice Act.
"While Gov. Perdue may claim to support the death penalty, her veto proves she's in lock-step with the leftist elements of her party who want to abolish it."— Senate leader Phil Berger, R-Rockingham, and House Speaker Thom Tillis, R-Mecklenburg, as quoted by the Associated Press in the same story, stating in a press release that they would seek to override Perdue's veto of changes to the Racial Justice Act.
"This year was definitely not a year conservative politics were championed."— Rep. Mark Hilton, R-Catawba, talking to the Raleigh News &Observer about this year's session of the General Assembly.
"Why shouldn't they do what everybody else does?"— John Bussian, a First Amendment lawyer who represents the North Carolina Press Association, commenting to the Raleigh News & Observer on a bill that limits public information on companies that don't provide worker's compensation insurance to their employees.

In order to measure progress at each tier of the City of Canada Bay's integrated planning framework, Council has developed an assessment hierarchy that measures our outputs and the outcomes they achieve. This hierarchy has recently been reviewed with the following methods of assessment proposed.
Reporting our performance against our assessment hierarchy is an important part of our planning framework. There are a number of specific ways that Council does this, including through annual reporting to the NSW Government via a formal Annual Reports, Financial Reports and State of the Environment Reports which detail Council's performance after each financial year as required under the Local Government Act 1993.
Council also has a system of quarterly reporting to the community and Council against key performance indicators. These reports (delivered at Council meetings) include a financial report and a capital works progress statement. A community report prepared at the completion of each financial year also provides a summary of achievements against the current Delivery Plan and key performance indicators.
Additionally a report on progress toward achieving FuturesPlan20 is presented to the final Council meeting of each outgoing Council term.

To a potential buyer, the penthouse at Four Seasons Hotel and Private Residences -- touted as "Canada's most expensive penthouse" -- looks quite promising. However, one should never drop $30-million without first researching the property. Melissa Leong asked developer Alan Menkes, president of Menkes Development, and designer Brian Gluckstein about the yet-to-be built Yorkville suite that goes on sale today:
Q I'm looking to upgrade from my 700-square-foot apartment to your 9,000- square-foot mansion-in-the-sky. Will there be enough space for my collection of sneakers and old newspapers?
Gluckstein: Many people often say, I never have enough storage, I never have enough closets. It's very rare in a condominium to have this much storage and this many closets. In most condominiums, [the walk-in closet in the penthouse] would be a bedroom? you have two of them in the suite.
We wanted a grandness to the space but we wanted the spaces within the apartment to still feel residential in scale. They really emulate a very large house? It's really a lifestyle change, not a size change.
Q Where do I put my housekeeper?
Menkes: The staff have their own living quarters in the East Tower, which provides the Penthouse owner with privacy, while still allowing for the convenience of live-in staff on-site. This is the only condo residence in Canada that will come with its own staff residence.
Q I need a place that will make my freeloading entourage cry, "Sweet merciful God!" as they walk in.
Gluckstein: I think one of the most impressive things is the entry into the penthouse. To open up an elevator and have this large glass gallery with this unobstructed view and all of this light... That door opens and it's the "Wow!"
Menkes: It's the "Aha!' You have to have that. When you come into any home, your first impression is really what counts.
Q The financial markets are in turmoil. Is this a good time
to spend my hard earned millions?
Menkes: In our market here in Toronto, we really haven't experienced the same calamity that has taken place in the U. S. Here we've had more stable and consistent growth over the last five to seven years. We also didn't have the sub-prime mortgage meltdown. Over the last six weeks, we had quite a flurry of activity here. It appears that the super luxury buyer may be more insulated than the rest of the market.
Q Everything is a competition. If I buy the "West Penthouse," I'd be beating that Hong Kong business man who bought at Yonge and Bloor for $25-million. How do I know someone won't one-up me?
Menkes: There is no other 9,000 square-foot penthouse on the 55th floor and there will never be another Four Seasons hotel in Toronto. It really is an iconic residence. Q The suite has a wine cellar, a theatre and televisions behind the bathroom mirrors (finally, we don't have to miss The View while brushing our teeth!). Also, the homeowner will enjoy all of the amenities provided by the hotel: room service, valet parking, access to the 28,000 square-foot spa. But I'm hard to please. Is there anything that might be missing?
Gluckstein: Unless someone wants a helipad ? I think this is more than what anyone could ever imagine.
Q Great. Lastly, I'm a sucker for sales. Are you offering any deals or scratch-and-save coupons for the penthouse?
Menkes: Thirty million is a lot of money to anyone but compared to international markets, Toronto's playing catch up to some extent?This unit would be double the price in other parts of the world."
Q Fifty per cent off ? Sold!

Cool So I was wondering if there is a way to keep My custom bot from not being kicked out of the server when people join the server. My Servers Run 24/7 So at times when clan members or public want someone to spar with the "bot" has been helpful in jk2 so I wanted to use it in JKA as well. Just the prob with it being kicked is defeating the purpose of it.
Any Ideas anyone ?
You could set botminplayers to something like 4 (and the maxclients to 6) and just spawn all the bots as your bot, so if there are any bots in the game ever they would be your's.
Of course anytime a bot is kicked, when it's replaced it will be with another bot from the list (see botlist in the console).
Oddly enough some bots don't seem to be listed anymore (like Lando) and I'm not sure why.
Anyway, that's what I'd suggest, just make all the bots your bot, and hopefully people will see him or else you'll have to be there to spawn him in for people.

Flash Review 2, 3-30: Back to the
NYC's New Joffrey (Ensemble) Company
By Alicia Mosier
Copyright 2001 Alicia Mosier
The Joffrey Ensemble Dancers gave
a lovely performance last night at Pace University in Manhattan that, despite
getting almost no publicity, was fairly well attended. Those who were there got
to see the fruits of the Joffrey Ballet School's labor. The company draws its
dancers from the school, which Edith D'Addario has directed for 40 years; it is
clearly continuing the tradition of classical panache that has been a hallmark
of all things Joffrey for more than four decades.
This was a very nicely crafted program,
each of its six pieces well suited to these classically-trained dancers. Three
of the more distinctive dances were choreographed by Elie Lazar, a former star
of the New Jersey Ballet who now serves as artistic director for this company.
His "Suite Fragments," which opened the evening, showed the dancers to their best
advantage. It was an utterly traditional divertissement in the "Raymonda" vein
for one man and six women (the women in white and gold tutus, with tiaras), but
with some unusual turns and lifts spicing things up. From the first moment we
saw these dancers we saw training coming through: the deliberate placement of
the feet, the attention to hands and heads, the serene epaulement. (The company's
ballet mistress is former Joffrey dancer Meg Gurin-Paul.) Ivanova Aguilar, an
elegant brunette from Mexico, danced the pas de deux with Raul Peinado, who (the
program notes say) only started dancing at age 18. He has a lofty jump, not much
turnout, and an absolutely smashing stage personality. (He looks exactly like
fresh-faced Chris Klein, who played the guy running against Reese Witherspoon
in the movie "Election").
Lazar collaborated on "Ripples" (which
premiered last month in New Jersey) with composer David Sampson, whose score sounds
like early Stravinsky filtered through Thom Willems. Its plucked strings and dark,
hopped-up rhythms were an excellent spur for Lazar's "Agon"-style choreography
for two couples, Juliana Scarpelli and Keelan Whitmore with Rachel Sullivan and
Justin Koertgen. Scarpelli caught my eye right away in "Suite Fragments," and
for the rest of the evening she continued to gleam. She's a sensational dancer,
musical and with lots of attitude. Whitmore is the most accomplished of the company's
men; he and Scarpelli were in a cool world of their own here, flinging each other
and the other two dancers into on-an-angle lifts and off-balance pirouettes.
I liked Lazar's "Night in the Tropics,"
too, a rich, sunny dance for five couples set to the Spanish-tinged music of Gottschalk.
Its play with spacing and the basics of partnering was surprising and quite beautiful.
Here as elsewhere Paul H. McRae provided exquisite costumes (always a plus to
see good dancers so well-dressed). Lola Stuart, a small blonde with gorgeous feet,
stood out here for her brisk disposition, as she did also in the "Capriccio Pas
de Deux" (from an evening-length ballet by Trinette Singleton, who, along with
Francesca Corkle, Eleanor D'Antuono, and John Magnus, serves as artistic advisor
to the company). "Capriccio," a walking-in-the-forest-at-dusk duet set to the
moody second movement of Shostakovich's Piano Concerto No. 2, was the least satisfying
piece on the program, in part because it needed dancers more confident in partnering
than Stuart and Angelo Giglio to give some flow to all the lifts and leans.
In the midst of all these quirkily
classical dances it was a great to see the pas de deux from that wonderful warhorse
"La Fille Mal Gardee," wonderfully danced by Peinado and Jun Min Lee. Lee has
strong legs and a calm, sweet, airy style. Maybe it's something in the Joffrey
School's technique that teaches the women not to point their feet all the way
(they stretch the arch but leave the toes relaxed); also, a more forward placement
of the upper body would give them much-needed momentum in chaine and pique turns.
But these are minor points. This is a quintessential young people's pas de deux,
and Lee and Peinado (cheers to him for hanging onto those turns a la seconde,
as well as for that smile) executed all its little beats and floating promenades
with youthful delight.
Rounding out the evening was a marvelous
piece called "And Now There's Three," choreographed in 1980 by former Ailey dancer
Marla Bingham to music for classical guitar and orchestra by Vivaldi. I liked
this one best of all; the choreography sings with open fourth positions and buoyant
balances. It fits these dancers perfectly, letting them show off their technique
while giving them chances to challenge it. I wish we'd seen more of Sara Scully
and the excellent Summer Lindsey, who, with Atsuko Minoura, all in pretty pink
dresses, formed a breezy, passionate trio.
