Read an Excerpt
Professional Mobile Web Development with WordPress, Joomla! and Drupal
By James Pearce
John Wiley & SonsCopyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
All right reserved.
Chapter OneIntroducing the Mobile Web
WHAT'S IN THIS CHAPTER? * Your first introduction into the magical world of the mobile web
* Learning about the background and heritage of today's mobile web
* Thinking about how you should treat this new medium differently to the way you treat desktop web users
* Some of the philosophical themes that will underpin much of your work throughout this book
Welcome to your journey into the mobile web. The goal of this book is to equip you with the tools, designs, and ideas that you need to bring websites that have been build with Content Management Systems into the hands of mobile users.
To get started, it is worth understanding exactly what is meant when we talk about "the mobile web." The huge increase in mobile phone usage worldwide over the last decade means that most of the human species is already familiar with the concept of communicating without wires. And if you are reading this book, you are probably already extremely familiar with the principle of the Internet and Web! But combining these words together — mobile web — suddenly describes a whole new concept: the idea that you can access the vast resources of the Web, whenever you want, and from wherever you are, via a small consumer electronics device that you can keep in a pocket.
Think about it for a moment. This is an invention that was likely beyond the wildest dreams of your forebears. The Web represents a significant portion of the sum of all human knowledge, and you are on the cusp of having this vast resource available to you — on-demand, and in your hands — from a device no larger than a small notepad.
The concept of this ubiquitous mobile web is an exciting new horizon. But you're not there yet! I hope this book helps and inspires you, as a site owner, manager, or developer, to understand what you can do to make your own sites and services as well prepared for this future as possible. Let's start that journey, in this chapter, by introducing the concepts and principles of the mobile web as a whole.
Your grandparents would probably recognize it as an archetypal scene from a science fiction book: Your protagonist, somewhere in the universe, pulls out a small handheld device, taps on it, and speaks. On the other side of the planet or spaceship upon which the action takes place, others receive the call, listen to the message, and begin to converse. It was not very long ago that wireless communication was the ultimate in futuristic high technology. As recently as 30 years ago, most people's usage of telephones was relatively rare, costly, and short-distance. More importantly, it was utterly constrained by copper; you couldn't make a call unless you were within a few meters of the handset. Only 15 years before that, most national and all international calls required an operator to patch calls through huge switchboard, cables and all.
In the late 1980s and 1990s, this started to change dramatically. Developments in radio and cellular technologies, coupled with the miniaturization and cheapening of computing hardware, enabled new possibilities: networks in which people could carry their telephone devices with them (or barely carry them, in the case of some of the early suitcase-sized models!), and, assuming they had sufficient radio coverage, place and receive calls while on the move.
Initially relying on analog technologies, and then through the creation and standardization of subsequent generations of digital technologies, these devices rapidly grew in number and fell in cost. At the same time, the cellular networks required to connect them grew in size, coverage, and interconnectedness. The cell phone became commonplace, even ubiquitous, and before you knew it, the constraints placed on where and when you could talk to friends and colleagues over the phone had been lifted.
Equipped with their miniature keyboards and screens, it was not long before other ways in which these small devices could be used started to emerge. The digital technologies used to transmit and receive voice were also perfectly capable of doing so for small amounts of data. Almost unintentionally, the GSM standard, for example, allowed users to send and receive short messages of 140 characters in length with their devices. By 2000, billions of such messages were being sent worldwide. Clearly the mobile device had the potential to be more than just a way to talk to others: It could be used as a device capable of sending and receiving data from other handsets, or indeed, central services.
The 1990s also saw the birth of the Web — a way in which computers could connect to the vast, interconnected Internet and access pages of information residing on servers elsewhere, worldwide. Again, this had been an evolution from more primitive and simple technologies, but the Web burgeoned, thanks to factors such as the ease with which users could use browsers to navigate through content, the array of tools that made it easy for authors to create and publish content, and again, the decreasing cost and increasing power of computing hardware.
Buoyed by a dream of having the world's knowledge and information formulated in an open way that humans could access it in dynamic and compelling ways, not to mention the prospects of being able to promote businesses and run commerce across the medium, the Web went from strength to strength, until by the end of the 1990s, it too was a powerful and familiar concept — at least in the developed world. With the benefit of hindsight, and noticing that two complementary concepts — the mobile phone and the Web — developed so significantly during the 1990s, it seems inevitable that at some point the telecoms and web industries would consider what it might mean to combine the two platforms.
For mobile networks and phone manufacturers, it meant the attraction of untethering people from their computers in the same way that they had been from their home telephones. For web and software companies, reaching beyond the PC meant the opportunity to add hundreds of millions of new users to the Web. And for users, the idea of being able to access the vast array of information, content, and services — through their personal mobile device — would be the exciting realization of yet another chapter from science fiction. The idea, at least, of the mobile web was born.
In practice, of course, there was no single epiphany, flash of smoke, and creation of a beautifully crafted mobile web. Although it has always seemed inevitable, it has taken more than 10 years to reach a point at which you can consider the mobile web to be a rich and compelling reality. But a short history lesson to understand how we all got here is a useful exercise.
Early Technologies
One of the first companies to pioneer the concept of pull-based information services on a mobile device was Unwired Planet, based in California. Launched in 1996, the company produced a system called UP.Link, comprised of a software browser (UP.Browser) that ran on PDAs and mobile handsets, and a network-side gateway that would aid the browser in fetching and formatting sites written in the company's proprietary markup language, HDML.
HDML was a card-based system for structuring content, and it bore little resemblance to HTML, even in its simplest form. The basic principle was that the browser would retrieve a "deck" of such cards, allowing a user to look at a selection of related pages of information without the browser having to make additional requests to the server. The cards supported textual and basic image content, and allowed users to navigate through decks with simple links and soft-key anchors; it even initiated telephone calls.
In the U.S., AT&T ran a packet-switched data network called PocketNet, which was, at the time, one of the first consumer offerings to provide Web-like access on a mobile device. This service encouraged many early website owners to experiment with developing HDML-based sites for this niche U.S. market.
In 1997, Unwired Planet attempted, and failed, to get HDML adopted as a markup standard by the W3C, which would have been an important step in getting the technology widely used and used outside of the United States. However, in that year, Unwired Planet joined with Nokia and Ericsson (which had been developing Web-like markup languages of their own) to form the WAP Forum, a standards body that would go on to specify WAP and related standards. Much of the early structure of the resulting WML markup language came from the HDML syntax and concepts, and Unwired Planet adapted their infrastructure and browsers to support WAP, becoming a major worldwide vendor of browser and gateway products as a result.
i-mode in Japan
In February 1999, the Japanese network carrier NTT DoCoMo launched a service called "i-mode" as a feature that allowed mobile subscribers access to simple Web content on their mobile handsets. Rather than requiring a new markup language like HDML or WML, i-mode browsers were capable of rendering pages written in C-HTML, which was simply a subset of the HTML v3.2 language common at the time. Although publishers were encouraged to build special C-HTML sites specifically for i-mode usage, they used their existing HTML knowledge and tools, which meant there was a much smaller barrier to getting sites online. That factor resulted in a huge number of publishers doing so.
Many things contributed to i-mode (and similar rival offerings from other carriers) becoming hugely popular in Japan. One was the reliability and consistency of the browsers and the networks; another was the way in which DoCoMo provided billing mechanisms that allowed site owners to take payments from users for various commercial services. Some also suggest that the relative lack of PC-based Web access in Japan at the time also drove i-mode to success; for many consumers, their mobile device was the easiest and quickest way to access Web content at all, so i-mode adoption grew phenomenally (rising to 40 million users in a mere four years following its launch).
Whatever the reasons, i-mode and other Japanese mobile web platforms were held in high esteem by the mobile industry elsewhere in the world. Very quickly, their ubiquitous use throughout Japan became a blueprint for what a successful mobile web might look like, and several European and Asian carriers endeavored to replicate its success by using exactly the same technologies in their own networks several years later. (Notably, most of these were unsuccessful, suggesting that the i-mode technology itself was not the main factor of the Japanese network's success.)
Wireless Access Protocol
The WAP Forum, formed in 1997, was a standards body dedicated to helping bring web-like access to simple handsets across low-bandwidth mobile networks (such as GSM and GPRS). The WAP standards that were produced, first as a reference v1.0 in 1998, and then as a deployable v1.1 in 1999, defined a whole stack of protocols to help deliver content efficiently across these networks.
Central to the WAP architecture was the role of the WAP gateway, which, like the UP.Link gateway, was responsible for taking content available on web servers hosted on the Internet and essentially compiling it into an efficient bytecode format that the browsers on the handset could efficiently handle and render. Because of this compilation process, content could not be written in arbitrary HTML; it had to be created in strict, well-formed WML — Wireless Markup Language, as shown here:
<?xml version="1.0"?> <!DOCTYPE wml PUBLIC "-//WAPFORUM//DTD WML 1.1//EN" "http://www.wapforum.org/DTD/wml_1.1.xml" > <wml> <card id="one" title="First Card">
Welcome to my first WAP deck.
Next page</card>
This is the next card of the WAP deck.
WML was an XML-based language and was similar to HDML in that it relied on a card-based paradigm (as shown previously) and shared very few tags with HTML. Web developers who wanted to create sites for WAP handsets needed to craft entirely different markup and interfaces, even when the underlying content was shared with the regular web version of the site. (And unfortunately, the intolerance of many WAP gateways meant that web developers had to emit absolutely perfect XML syntax or risk cryptic errors on their users' screens.)
The earliest WAP devices included the iconic Nokia 7110 and the Ericsson R320, both released in 1999 and providing monochromatic access to simple WAP content. Both adhered well to the specifications, supporting simple images in cards, for example, and many pioneering developers created sites for the devices. Nevertheless, the early hyperbole surrounding the potential of WAP failed to meet user's expectations: They were unable to "surf the Internet" on their mobile devices as they expected, finding that only those few sites that had crafted WML-based versions rendered on their screens.
Further, the increasing numbers of devices that shipped with WAP browsers over the following years brought a huge problem of diversity for site owners. Each browser could interpret certain sections of the WAP specifications differently, and the inconsistencies between implementations were frustrating for a web community that at the time was used to the ease of developing for a single web browser on the desktop environment.
For these, and many other reasons, WAP failed to gain the momentum that had been expected, and it did not become the worldwide mobile web platform that many had hoped for. Network carriers, worried both about the unreliability of mobile sites on the Internet as a whole and keen to monetize data usage across their networks, often blocked mobile users from accessing arbitrary web addresses from their phones, preferring "walled gardens" of content from preferred partners, which often ended up as little more than directories of ringtones, desktop backgrounds, games, and other downloads.
WML underwent a number of revisions before the WAP Forum (which became part of a larger standards body, the Open Mobile Alliance) specified that WAP v2.0 should use a mobile subset of XHTML as its markup language. With that came the end of web developers' need to develop pages in an entirely unfamiliar markup and the start of a standards convergence between the modern desktop web (which was gradually, although not universally, adopting XHTML) and the mobile web of the future.
Dawn of the Modern Mobile Web
The years 2006 and 2007 were seminal in the development of the mobile web. For several years, high-end mobile devices in Europe, Asia, and the United States had been gaining relatively high-resolution color screens and increasingly powerful processors. Together with a widespread rollout of third Generation (3G) network connectivity, sometimes with flat rates of data usage, this now meant that many of the constraints of older devices and networks were now removed, and there was a decreasing need to rely on "lite" pastiches of the Web, such as WAP and i-mode, to deliver information to handsets. Finally, there was a possibility that much of the regular web could be browsed, cost effectively, on high-end mobile devices.
A presage of this change was Nokia's often overlooked decision to develop a port of the WebKit web browser to its Symbian operating system in 2005. (WebKit, the underlying engine of Apple's recently released Safari browser, had been open-sourced by the company that year.)
Nokia's first handsets to carry the resulting S60 Browser were extremely successful, if not entirely because of the browser alone. The fact that most browsers supported WiFi (for fast, free network connectivity) and that even the richest web content could be browsed quite capably (with the help of a full-screen zoom-in/out feature) meant that many developers saw a future in which the mobile device would become a viable first-class citizen of the Web, rather than one crippled by slow bandwidth and prohibitive Internet access.
Any lingering doubts that full mobile web access was just an esoteric dream were shattered in 2007, when Apple — a new entrant to the mobile handset business — launched its iPhone device. Promoted as a combination of phone, music player, and Internet communicator, a large part of the iPhone's attractiveness to consumers was its ability to render desktop websites with high fidelity, and pan and zoom through them elegantly using a multi-touch screen. The handset came bundled with unlimited data plans from most of its launch carriers.

Ichiwakin haha!
Looks awesome
God, I would love to see what this would look like if you could see all of Ichigo and the dragon.
I'm looking to have a laptop possibly custom-painted, and while I'm still a long way off from that, I'm complaining a list possible pictures. Would you mind very much if this picture maybe wound up on a laptop?
OMG! it's so gorgeous!
I love how you portrayed Ichigo's look. His face is perfect here.

This is so cool!!!!! I wonder what inspired you to draw this!?!?
I really like this piece because it reminds me so much of Skyrim, but with much more of a sharper edge to it. Even with what I'm assuming about the dragon probably portraying is Zangetsu, there is a very unique and delicate balance with this picture

This is for the person who called in about the teachers overdressed in high heels and suits. There is a thing called dress code. If you want them to come in with halter tops and shorts, theyĺd probably be thrown out of school. Think before you say it.
Roses to the Democratic Independents and Republican Tea Party members who organized travel arrangements for the property tax elimination rally in Harrisburg. These folks oppose corporate bailouts and unvital government spending. In this regard they are the last best hope for middle class which at the end of the day is always left footing the bill.
What shall we blame Obama for next? It seems Obama bashing has become quite fashionable with a particular segment of the population claiming greater patriotism than we the majority of Americans who overwhelmingly elected him to a second term. President Obama is not the greatest president but neither is he the worst. He has led this nation and world back from the 2008 brink of collapse, terrorism is in check and the economy is rebounding.
ANOTHER VETERANĺS PERSPECTIVE
The southern Tea Party held a protest at the World War II monument and they displayed a Confederate Valor Flag. The crippling legacy of injustice has re-emerged with the birth of the Tea Party. It is time for any reasonable thinking member of the Republican Party to bring an end to this blatant bigotry. How are they going to be allowed to go this far without someone saying something? Itĺs like turning back the clock to 1960. Truly troubling.
I canĺt figure out how Americans can be almost bankrupt but yet we can give billions of dollars to countries who hate Americansĺ guts and still keep spending overseas which I think should be stopped.
I guess weĺve seen it once again on the news. In Louisiana it showed all those people on food assistance walking out of Walmart with $700 and more worth of groceries when they knew for sure that they did not deserve to be doing that. I just hope that Walmart winds up having to pay for all these groceries themselves because they should never have allowed it. Thereĺs supposed to be a $50 limit. Of course weĺre going to take everything we can.
Itĺs amazing to me that the Republicans donĺt want to fund Obamacare and they also want huge cuts in the country but they didnĺt mind giving Bush over $2 trillion to be spent in Iraq and now weĺre all paying the price for it. Just unbelievable to me.
I was reading that the Social Security rise is among the lowest in years. The money theyĺre giving you is chump change and it doesnĺt keep up with inflation but they keep letting the electric and oil companies just keep on raising things, food goes up. If we would just stop giving the money away to people who donĺt deserve it. I like the other comment that Social Securityĺs going broke but Welfare doesnĺt go broke and whereĺs that money come from?
Whatever happened to common sense? Like Harrisburgĺs quick solution to property tax reform, the voter ID debate goes on and on. Want a simple solution? For those who just canĺt make it where you apply for a driverĺs license for your free ID or are fighting it because perhaps it will be harder for cemetery occupants to vote, simply give out freebies like free food vouchers, laptops, cell phones, etc. Just be sure enough are on hand for the large mobs.
To all you people who want to fly the Confederate flag, thatĺs just fine. Just remember to fly the flag of surrender next to it.
Forgotten Cats/Catnaps will be selling discount coupons on Oct. 22 at Boscovĺs in the Friends Helping Friends campaign. All the funds that we raise will stay with Forgotten Cats and I think Iĺve said in the past the epidemic problems that weĺre having in Pottstown with the feline population. So please come out and buy a $5 coupon which will give you 25 percent off that day at Boscovĺs at the Coventry Mall. Thank you for your support.
I recently went across the King Street bridge over the Manatawny to see how the new miniature golf course is coming along and that Manatawny Creek is an absolute disgrace. Whoever was behind taking out the falls so there wouldnĺt be water back up ought to have their head examined. Locks should have been put in there so it could control the flow of water.
I make my pumpkin custard with any colored pumpkin as long as itĺs cooked and mashed. There is a different flavor.

WASHINGTON - In a world "blinking red" with terrorist threats against the United States, the FBI missed a last-minute chance to detect a key al-Qaida cell and possibly disrupt the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, the commission investigating the 2001 hijackings said Tuesday.
Delays and missteps in linking terrorism suspect Zacarias Moussaoui to al-Qaida in the weeks before the attacks were emblematic of chronic problems within the FBI, including limited intelligence and analysis capabilities, outdated technology, poor information-sharing and floundering attempts at reorganization, the commission said.
In a day of finger-pointing, the panel chairman, former New Jersey Gov. Thomas Kean, said two scathing reports compiled by the commission's investigators amounted to "an indictment of the FBI," while Attorney General John Ashcroft took a veiled swipe at the Clinton administration.
Louis J. Freeh, who headed the bureau from 1993 to mid-2001, bristled at Kean's words.
"I would ask that you balance what you call an indictment, and which I don't agree with at all, with the two primary findings of your staff," he said. "One is that there was a lack of resources. And two, there were legal impediments" that made it difficult for agents to pursue terrorism investigations.
Former Attorney General Janet Reno also spoke of a lack of resources but said the FBI under Freeh did a poor job keeping track of the information its agents gathered.
"The FBI didn't know what it had," she said. "The right hand didn't know what the left hand was doing."
Ashcroft - her successor and the last witness at Tuesday's hearing - said a key reason for the failures was a legal restriction, known as "the wall," that prevented sharing of FBI intelligence information with criminal investigators. Ashcroft blamed Reno for issuing "draconian" guidelines in 1995 that made such sharing even more difficult.
"The simple fact of Sept. 11 is this: We did not know an attack was coming because for nearly a decade our government had blinded itself to its enemies," Ashcroft said. "Our agents were isolated by government-imposed walls, handcuffed by government-imposed restrictions and starved for basic information technology."
Ashcroft buttressed his contentions by releasing a declassified memo from former Deputy Attorney General Jamie Gorelick - now a member of the Sept. 11 commission - containing instructions that "more clearly separate" counterintelligence from criminal investigations.
Former acting FBI Director Thomas Pickard, who headed the bureau just before the attacks, told the panel Ashcroft did not seem to consider terrorism a priority. He said that after he began briefing Ashcroft twice a week on the threats, Ashcroft told Pickard "he did not want to hear this information any more."
On The Net:
A transcript of the hearing, including the two statements issued by the commission and witness testimonies, are available through this link: http://wid.ap.org/transcripts/statement.html
Ashcroft denied saying that and added that he had "interrogated" Pickard in their meetings about any possible terror threats facing the United States.
"I did never say to him that I did not want to hear about terrorism," Ashcroft said.
Ashcroft also told the panel that May 7, 2001, he advised National security adviser Condoleezza Rice that the Bush administration should abandon its previous policy of trying to capture Osama bin Laden.
"We should find and kill bin Laden," Ashcroft said he told her.
The hearing was in the same Senate hearing room where Rice testified last week and former counterterrorism aide Richard Clarke a few weeks before that. This time there were empty seats and not nearly as much electricity as those appearances.
The commission reports issued at the start of the two-day hearing noted some FBI successes in cracking earlier terrorist cases. But the FBI was unable to stop the 19 hijackers from using commercial airliners as weapons, killing some 3,000 people in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
"All our systems failed," said commission member Fred Fielding. "We were totally beaten on Sept. 11."
The inability of the FBI to link Moussaoui to al-Qaida was a prime example, the commission concluded in revealing previously unreported details.
CIA Director George Tenet, who is to testify before the commission Wednesday, told the panel in private that in July 2001 "the system was blinking red" and that "it could not get any worse," according to the commission statement.

From late 2009 and early 2010, certain euro area countries were beginning to have problems financing their debts. Market uncertainty led to normal government borrowing operations becoming costly and eventually impossible.
At the time, EU countries reacted quickly by putting in place so-called 'firewall' confidence-building measures to help to finance the debts of countries facing temporary difficulties in borrowing money from financial markets.
In parallel the EU also set to work on resolving the root causes of its weaknesses. A twin track approach was followed. Temporary assistance mechanisms were established to cope with the immediate crisis, and long-term measures to create permanent support facilities and to help prevent a reoccurrence of future crises were set in motion.
The financing facilities for euro area countries experiencing severe financing problems were set up with considerable speed. When Greece lost access to affordable market financing, the EU moved quickly to help by pooling bilateral loans from European governments with the European Commission. It then set up two temporary funds, the European Financial Stabilisation Mechanism (EFSM) and the European Financial Stability Facility (EFSF) with a total lending capacity of E500 billion. The creation of these instruments is testament to the willing of euro area and EU countries to show solidarity.
As these two financial backstops were constructed as temporary measures, the euro area countries in the autumn of 2012 created a new and permanent financial backstop — the European Stability Mechanism (ESM). It is now the cornerstone of the European firewall and an integral part of the EU's comprehensive strategy to ensure financial stability in the euro area. Its lending capacity is currently set at € 500 billion and conditional financial assistance will be available to those countries that have ratified the treaty on stability, coordination and governance. The ESM thus complements the reinforced surveillance by giving the possibility to offer conditional financial assistance to euro area countries when needed.
These 'firewall' facilities have not only resolved the immediate difficulties experienced by some countries in repaying their debts, but have also boosted the confidence of financial markets and helped to ensure financial stability of the euro area as a whole.
Help from the EU is also available for non-euro area countries that are faced with serious difficulties or problems attaining international financing. Countries that use the EU's EUR 50 billion Balance of Payments Assistance fund must also agree to make reforms to fix their economic problems.
The EU introduced new stronger rules to keep a tighter check on public debt and deficits to make sure countries don't spend beyond their means. A new fiscal treaty was also signed to further strengthen confidence limiting yearly structural deficits to 0.5 % of the GDP. This crisis clearly shows that a debt filled economy is not sustainable. European Commission will now make sure that the limits on debts and deficits are applied and that national budgets do not put at risk other European economies.
Ensuring sound public finances
The euro offers many potential benefits, but only if participating countries run sound economic policies. This is why membership of the euro, since the outset, has come with a firm obligation to avoid large and excessive budget deficits and to keep public debt at sustainable levels. This commitment to run sound fiscal policies is monitored through a framework known as the Stability and Growth Pact.
This Pact has been considerably reinforced as a result of the economic crisis. Governments must now submit their draft budget plans for scrutiny by the Commission and other euro area countries. Rigorous surveillance mechanisms are in place to check that countries indeed will meet the budget targets which all euro area countries have committed themselves to achieve, and sanctions can be imposed if needed.
Ensuring competitiveness and promoting growth
Sound public finances are not the only key to having a thriving economy in the euro area. The crisis also revealed the need for a new approach to the regulation of financial services and for closely monitoring financial market developments. New surveillance instruments have also been established to make sure that euro area countries adopt economies policies that ensure competitiveness and promote growth as well as jobs. Prevention is better than cure, and these new surveillance instruments also aim to avoiding damaging bubbles in housing markets.
… on the macroeconomic side
In addition to strengthening the fiscal rules, the EU has introduced a new framework for the surveillance and timely correction of macroeconomic imbalances. The aim is to address risky developments, e. g. related to asset bubbles and weakening competitiveness, before they become a threat to the stability of an EU country, the euro area, or the EU as a whole.
Therefore, the Commission regularly monitors for potential macroeconomic imbalances (in areas such as labour cost, house prices or unemployment). EU countries that show potentially worrying trends are analysed in-depth. If an imbalance is found to exist, the country concerned is asked to take action to prevent the situation worsening. If an imbalance is deemed excessive, the country has to take action to correct the situation. For euro area countries enforcement of the rules is backed up by a sanctions mechanism.
... on the growth side
Europe 2020 is the EU's growth strategy for this decade with the aim of fostering a smart, sustainable and inclusive economy. With these three mutually reinforcing priorities, EU countries aim to establish high levels of employment, productivity and social cohesion. To measure progress towards these goals the EU has set five ambitious targets to be reached by 2020 on: employment, innovation, education, social inclusion and climate/energy policy. Each country has adopted its own national targets in each of these areas. Actions at the EU and national levels and Structural Funds for EU countries will help implement these goals.
… on economic reforms
The European Semester is an annual cycle of policy coordination at EU level (the first half of the year) during which EU countries have the chance to review each other's economic and fiscal policies before they are implemented. At the end of the cycle, the EU addresses specific reform recommendations to each country. Implementation is monitored throughout the year. In addition, euro area countries have to publish their draft budgets for the following year by 15 October for the Commission to assess their conformity with agreed requirements.

Exxon Says Baton Rouge Work Includes Catalytic Cracker
Exxon Mobil Corp.'s refinery in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, is performing maintenance on a fluid catalytic cracker and associated units that will last several weeks, Kevin Allexon, a company spokesman, said in an e-mail.
Allexon, based in Fairfax, Virginia, said the refinery began the turnaround on Feb. 5.
Catalytic crackers are the main gasoline-making units at a refinery. The Baton Rouge plant, second-largest in the U.S. after Exxon's refinery in Baytown, Texas, has a fluid catalytic cracking capacity of 243,000 barrels a day, according to the U.S. Energy Department's Energy Information Administration.
The EIA's 2010 refinery capacity report does not say how many catalytic crackers are at the Baton Rouge plant, and Allexon said he had "no further details to share."
The Baton Rouge refinery processes domestic crudes from Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi and Alaska, according to the company's website. It also imports crude from Mexico, the North Sea, West Africa, South America, Central America and the Arabian Gulf.
The plant can process 525,000 barrels of oil a day, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.

I am not able to understand the complete functioning of period (.) operator in Regular Expression under unix terminal..
It says it matches any single character.. When i gave grep 'c.t' a.txt, it return results such as cat, cbt, cmt etc.. Should it pring any other type of data too??? as i am not clear with the basics of this period operator.
What if i give grep 'c[abm].t' a.txt, it is not giving the expected results i.e. I thought it should print only cat or cbt or cmt but it prints only caat, which was one of the data. Please clarify.
Also if there is any tutorial, wherein I can master the skills of Regular Expression, then please share.. Thanks a lot.. Please try and solve my query..

TEMPLE (March 15, 2014) Vincent Corson, 30, remained in the Dallas County Jail Saturday charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in a shooting in Temple that left his estranged wife injured.
Vincent Corson, Jr., and Isaiah Corson, 2. (Police photos)
Corson was arrested Friday afternoon in Garland after fleeing with his infant son, which led to a statewide Amber Alert.
Isaiah Corson, 2, was found safe after officers stopped Vincent Corson near the Gus Thomasson Road exit on I-30.
Corson was driving the victim's 2007 Mazda 6 sedan in which police say he fled after the shooting.
Online jail records show that he's being held for authorities in Bell County in lieu of $85,000 bond.
The woman, whose name wasn't released, was shot three times at around 6:30 a.m. Friday at the Greenbrier Park apartments at 2405 South 13th St. in Temple, police said.
She was holding the infant in her arms when she was shot, police said.
She underwent surgery and Scott & White Hospital, but is expected to survive, police said.
Information about her condition wasn't available.
The victim had a protective order against Corson, police said.
A 6-year-old boy who was also in the apartment wasn't injured, police said.
Another man who was at the scene protected the boy by taking him and running off, police said.

Sealed Lead Acid Batteries
Would these be good to use in a scale boat such as a 36"to 48" tug with two motors ? Motors would probably be Pittman 9000 series or Johnson 970's.These are in the sale isle at Walmart for $18,but might get them to go lower on the price.
These SLA batteries are pretty much a commodity, generic... I'm sure your private branded example is as good as any other. No clue if that specific size is what you want or need in whatever model you have...
As one of our "master" model tug builders from Canada says, "the ONLY good lead in a model boat, is wrapped in acid (a battery)! Yes, SLA's or Gel Cell batteries, work great in a tug. Here is my 25'' pushboat.

HECK Ya I use them all of the time . WITH MY 6 foot DDG and carrier you cant beat them as far as I am concern and I use a pair of standara 12 volt motors with mind never had a problem . FOR that pirce for that battery I feel it is good price. Just keep it charge and check on it when your not useing it . Just be sure to keep at least a full 12 volt in it all of the time . During the winter I charge mind up and usely once a month I will check mind and it the are a low 12 volt I will put a charge in them . One thing nice about thoes Jell cells you can put them in any way you want. I eather will lay them down or keep them up right.
. But that is my opinion only. HERE IN portland at the shop I deal with Battery exchange I cant touch for less then 20 any more I had to pick up one about 2 years ago . I dont have a clue on what they are going for now. I did know wall mart handled those something I will have to check into..thanks for the tip. DON the Rustbucket in Portland Oregon
The Walmart in my area has an isle for things that are reduced for quick sale.Maybe each Walmart has a cheapie isle. These were originally in the sporting goods/hunting dept and were used for automatic game feeders,lights and electronic predator calls.If I get one or two,I'll have to see if they have any of the chargers for them.

Let me join all the previous posts by saying that SLA's are the way to go. One more thing to note: SLA's generally are rated at 24 hour discharge rate( some may be @12hr rate) That said, a 7.2 amp SLA is not going to give you 7.2 amps/hr. Not without cooking the battery. Match your motors and your batteries so your current draw remains within the comfortable limits of the battery.

Perfect Batteries
Yes Sleepwalker, those Gel Cells are the perfect batteries for any larger model boat, can be laid flat, sideways, or vertical. Buy and install as many as you need to get the proper trim in the finished boat. Much better to add storage voltage for weight rather than dead lead weight.
Simply wire up + to + to + and - to - to - , this will keep the same voltage but really add up your amp capacity, which is same as your fuel tanks.

Not a good idea to parallel Lead acid batteries, or series them for that matter. Uneven discharge leads to strange fault symptoms. Load them into the available space, but it doesn't take long to change over two leads?
Regards Ian.
Never had a problem running SLA's in parallel.....cheap ones are good for about 18 months to 2 years of hard use if you are pulling lot of amps out of em'
I now run more expensive deep cycle 12v 10ah SLA's (twice as expensive and a kg heavier!) I have had these ones since Nov 2011 still going strong
Cheers Bruce
PS any decent electronics parts store should have a 12v SLA charger of some type.

Provided that all the batteries concerned are measured at the same voltage prior to connection, and kept like that, there is no problem. Lead acid cells can supply enormous currents, but not for long before they damage themselves, and that is why some caution should be used. The circulation currents involved while they settle themselves out can be very large.
Using batteries in series, again, they should be in a similar state of charge, because if one is not as charged as its friends, it will not only run down faster, but possibly try to reverse charge. This manifests itself as a very sudden drop in performance, and likely difficult recharging. Of course, while a 6 volt battery is 3 cells in series inside one box, a 12 volt battery is 6 cells in one box. 2 of 6 volt batteries in series (provided they are both the same AH rating) just makes a 12 volt battery. You might want that to make siting them in the hull more convenient.

BEIJING, Aug. 16 (Yonhap) -- Chinese President Xi Jinping and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin will hold summit talks early next month on the sidelines of the Group of 20 summit in St. Petersburg, officials said Friday.
Chinese State Councilor Yang Jiechi held talks with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Thursday in Moscow and agreed on the Xi-Putin talks during the upcoming G20 summit, set for Sept. 5-6, China's foreign ministry said in a statement.
During Thursday's meeting, Yang and Lavrov "also exchanged views on the Korean Peninsula situation, Iranian nuclear issue, Syria and other issues," the statement said, without elaborating further.
China and Russia are members of the six-party talks aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear weapons program. The six-nation forum, also involving the two Koreas, the U.S. and Japan, have been at a standstill since late 2008.
South Korea's chief nuclear envoy, Cho Tae-yong, made a three-day visit to Moscow this week and met with his Russian counterpart Igor Morgulov.
After meeting with Morgulov, Cho told Korean correspondents there that the resumption of the six-party talks is unlikely within the year, saying that North Korea has not demonstrated its willingness for denuclearization through actions.

A Graveyard for Lunatics (Paperback)
Usually Ships in 1-5 Days
Halloween Night, 1954. A young, film-obsessed scriptwriter has just been hired at one of the great studios. An anonymous investigation leads from the giant Maximus Films backlot to an eerie graveyard separated from the studio by a single wall. There he makes a terrifying discovery that thrusts him into a maelstrom of intrigue and mystery and into the dizzy exhilaration of the movie industry at the height of its glittering power.
About the Author
In a career spanning more than seventy years, Ray Bradbury, who died on June 5, 2011 at the age of 91, inspired generations of readers to dream, think, and create. A prolific author of hundreds of short stories and close to fifty books, as well as numerous poems, essays, operas, plays, teleplays, and screenplays, Bradbury was one of the most celebrated writers of our time. His groundbreaking works include Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, The Illustrated Man, Dandelion Wine, and Something Wicked This Way Comes. He wrote the screen play for John Huston's classic film adaptation of Moby Dick, and was nominated for an Academy Award. He adapted sixty-five of his stories for television's The Ray Bradbury Theater, and won an Emmy for his teleplay of The Halloween Tree. He was the recipient of the 2000 National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters, the 2004 National Medal of Arts, and the 2007 Pulitzer Prize Special Citation, among many honors.
Throughout his life, Bradbury liked to recount the story of meeting a carnival magician, Mr. Electrico, in 1932. At the end of his performance Electrico reached out to the twelve-year-old Bradbury, touched the boy with his sword, and commanded, "Live forever!" Bradbury later said, "I decided that was the greatest idea I had ever heard. I started writing every day. I never stopped."

Maddie Addie Hug by TwokindsWatch
©2012-2016 Twokinds
Wow, I made this way back in April of 2012, but unfortunately wasn't able to draw anything else as an incentive until recently, thanks to all the work from the Kickstarter campaign this year. But, better late than never.
Maddie Addie may be a trained Basitin soldier, but she is still a young girl, and like many young girls her age, she likes paying with dolls. Unfortunately, I don't think this particular doll is all that enthusiastic about being hugged to death.

What's New?
Did you feel the chill in the air this week as the fog descended and fall made its presence known? BRRR . . .
I pulled out a heavy black overcoat and threw it on prior to heading out my door to the Educate Our State luncheon in San Francisco, where I anticipated the weather would be colder still (it was). That dusty coat has been idly sitting at the back of my closet for months, thanks to our glorious California sunshine and fantastic autumn temperatures. (Hey, it's already snowing in other parts of the country. Give thanks.)
Here's the thing, I'm a gal who's all about the pockets and whenever I put on a jacket, I usually find a nice surprise (or two) tucked away, that has been long forgotten. On Wednesday, it was a handyman's business card (always useful), a fabulous lipstick (ohhh-la-la), and a twenty dollar bill. Eureka!
"Candy-coated popcorn, peanuts and a prize . . . that's what you get in Cracker Jacks".
Don't you love these kind of surprises? (Yes, I do.)
On the other hand, there are those kind of surprises that are far less welcome. Fortunately, with respect to Real Estate, many of these "glitches," such as poor inspections or ambiguous easements, can be somewhat anticipated AND corrected before they turn into ugly negotiating issues down the road. (Don't wait for the Buyer to conduct inspections once in contract. Do these pro-actively!)
However, some surprises aren't so quickly accommodated or rectified. This week, Brady Thomas, of LaSalle Financial, popped by The GRUBB Co's Tuesday morning office meeting to give us a little POP QUIZ on personal credit scores, the significance of them to you – the borrower – and how they are established and managed over time . . .
(Think of these as your own personal, grown-up SAT'S!)
- A full 35% of your credit score is established through your PAYMENT HISTORY – Not your debt and NOT your income. In other words, how promptly you pay your bills each month is the MOST important factor for establishing good credit.
- Your debt carried forward is the next most important criteria for determining one's credit score. This factor makes up 30% of the score and just to keep things simple, 30% is the allowable debt ratio that one may carry forward month-to-month as well. This doesn't mean one's TOTAL, overall debt, but the balance of each line, individually. (Feel better?) Not surprisingly, lenders prefer to see manageable debt – not maxed out credit cards. (Car loans, *student loans, and mortgage loans don't apply to this equation, which falls under a different category.)
- The length of your credit makes up 15% of your credit score. It's why mortgage brokers advise you to hold onto rarely used, dormant accounts, as opposed to canceling them altogether. (I haven't stepped foot in a Bloomingdale's for years.) Just securely tuck the cards away and ignore them. On the other hand, if you live in a largely "All Cash" world (as many people do who are less familiar with the concept of living beyond their means?!?) you unfortunately, won't have established enough credit to actually qualify for a loan – even with a fair amount of savings in the bank. (Yes, it makes no sense, but there you have it.) Open a VISA and pay it down completely each month. You'll need at least three months of established credit history to qualify for a loan.
- 10% of your Credit Score is based on the "types of credit" you carry (Visa and AMX cards carry more weight than The GAP card for example – no offense to The GAP; I love Athleta.)
- And finally, the last 10% of your credit score is based on recent inquiries (yes, each "pull" of your credit score dings you ever so slightly, but not as much as you might think). If you don't comparison shop your mortgage lender beyond a rate comparison, you should be fine.
*It's important to note that if you have any outstanding Student Loans, that debt stays on your credit history FOREVER (!) – even if you have declared bankruptcy in the past. In short, if you have paid to play, you'll get NO free pass from the Federal Government – it's time to pay.
And for those of you just wondering: a "Perfect Credit Score" is 840 points; 760 is considered "excellent;" 720 is "on par;" a score below 700 becomes much more difficult and costly to the borrower; and lastly, a score below 640 doesn't stand a chance of finding legitimate funds anywhere in the banking world. (How's your relationship with with your mother?)
So there you have it. Your Credit Score might not be the most exciting topic on which I've ever spoken, but it's likely to have the biggest impact on your ability to borrow throughout your lifetime. Protect your credit score, nurture it, and honor it, the way you would your children. On second thought, protect your credit history MORE; your children will have to find their own way eventually. In fact, maybe it's time for them to establish their own credit and get on with it.
Now where'd I put that twenty dollar bill? I'm going to need it to pay for parking in SF . . .

A Great Public Education isn't Free! Every year I speak to the annual Piedmont Giving Campaign, which supports and supplements our fantastic Piedmont Schools. This year, the goal is to raise $1,600,000 dollars of badly needed funds to help offset the shortfalls brought about by continuing budget cuts in Sacramento.
If you haven't yet made your contribution, please take a moment to do so now at: www.piedmontgivingcampaign.com This isn't just a gift to our children, it's a gift to the future. AND if that still doesn't move you, remember this: great schools equate to great property values! Our rock solid Piedmont property values are directly tied to the health and well being of our much-coveted public schools.
At the Educate Our State luncheon on Wednesday, Delaine Easton, Superintendent for ALL of California's public schools from 1995-2003, quoted her father in her impassioned speech: "If a turtle is sitting on a fencepost, it didn't get there alone." Her point being, that none of us arrives without help. If you have been fortunate enough to reach some measure of success, you've certainly had help along the way, and more often than not, it was through the guidance and instruction of a caring Teacher.
Let's affirm our kids future with a show of tangible support and make sure that California education is once again the envy of every other state. And if you'd like to contribute to Educate Our State as well, you can help fuel the dream of quality education for EVERY child in California.

I purchased this ottoman to match the Plush Taupe glider for my nursery about a month ago. I chose to do the site-to-store pick up option which I love.. free shipping! In case you are wondering it does match the Enchanged Embassy Plush Taupe glider perfectly although online the ottoman appears to be slightly lighter in color. Both items are made out of the exact same material. This combination is great, especially since the ottoman rocks along with the glider. I would definitely recommend this product.
The ottoman was one of those things that I consider an "extra" for the nursery, but I'm really glad we got it. It's comfy and makes it a very nice set with the chair. Very soft fabric. Nice movement. Excited to put it to good use when our daughter arrives.
We love our ottoman. The material is soft and cozy, it glides easily, and the neutral color looks great in our baby's room. We're waiting on our chair to arrive and are excited to have the completed set. Someday we'll put it in our bedroom or another room in the house. For now it will make an excellent set to rock and feed the baby in when he arrives!
Bought this ottoman to go with the Enchanted Plush Taupe glider chair with skirt. Matches perfectly, and glides well with chair.
We've only had this chair for a few days, so I can't provide feedback other than an initial review. However, the chair arrived in perfect condition. The fabric is incredibly soft and comfortable. The chair is a perfect size for our room. It fits both my husband, who is 6'3", and me, 5'6", comfortably. The gliding motion has been great so far, and it is positioned on a wood floor with no sliding or noise issues to report at this time.
very pretty material, great color. am waiting still for the glider /comes on different date. the ottoman glides, but not too much. hopefully the glider sways a little more, but i love it!
Flawless design and fabric. Comfortable, glides smoothly. Was purchased with the matching glider for grandson's room and was very proud to present the pair to his parents. Exceptional quality.
I also bought the matching glider. I love the set! The fabric is so soft! An excellent purchase!
Super soft and glides great. Only wish it came in more colors.
works great with the chair. very comfortable. love it!
If you have the Glider, you need the ottoman! :) It's terrific!
I agree with the last reviewer. This ottoman works just fine and serves it purpose, but if you're buying it to match the espresso glider chair you're going to notice that the fabrics don't match. The ottoman is about 2 shades lighter than the glider (it looks faded). The chair I would definitely describe as espresso, but the ottoman looks like more of a walnut color. Obviously the manfacturer didn't match the fabric dyes correctly; it should not be advertised as matching. I'm still considering taking it back, but I doubt I would be able to find anything else at this point.
I am absolutely elated with this chair/ottoman combo. I think that whatever dye-lot issues that other guests experienced a few months ago have been rectified, because the chair and ottoman that I just received match perfectly. They look fabulous in my baby's room!
LOVE this set!! So glad we got both chair and ottoman. The fabric is thick and soft, and it glides nicely with the chair The color is gorgeous... kinda chocolate-milk-ish looking. LOVE IT!
perfect match with enchanred glider, i was a little worried about color matching, but they are the same... looked a little different online...
I searched high and low for an affordable, upholstered rocker for our contemporary nursery and found this one. I bought the enchanted chair in espresso with white piping and then purchased the espresso ottoman with skirt to match. Well, let me tell you they are both wonderful for the price, can't be beat. But, you do take a some bad with the good. These two products are NOT THE SAME COLOR. they are noticably different shades of brown, but again, i liked them so much thath i didn't bother returning and if you compare the online pics side by side, this is actually obvious and I doubt it would ever be right as i just think they are made by different manufacturers or different materials. But, i love the look other than that, and the functionality is great.
I purchased this ottoman to go with the glider, assuming they would match. Unfortunately, they don't. The color is close but it is not the same. I contacted Little Castle and they gave me a run around explanation that if I buy the glider at the exact same time as the ottoman, there is a chance they will match but they do not guarantee it. Not what I would expect for a $600 set. We ended up keeping the ottoman because I was 38 weeks pregnant and didn't want to deal with the hassle of picking out a new glider and ottoman. If you are looking for an exact match, I would look elsewhere.
I read other reviews and the color is like chocolate milk. I like it very much. I also ordered the enchanted recliner/glider in the same color but it's coming in two different shipments. I was very disappointed with the shipping time and lack of ability to track via Walmart.com's chosen shipping company YRC. I've never heard of them. My ottoman shipped via FedEx which was nice. I recommend the ottoman, it has soft fabric and smooth gliding. I can't wait to put it in our new baby boy's room.
As other reviewers have noted, the color of the ottoman is much lighter than pictured -- more of a taupe-y color than deep chocolate. The fabric is so soft and the ottoman makes the glider extra comfy.
We had already purchased the chocolate brown rocker/glider, and decided to add the ottoman to the compliment it. It is the perfect addition to the set and to our nursery, and we highly recommend it!

Dangerous wind chills expected in central Vermont
MONTPELIER Wind chill readings could be as low as 20 to 25 degrees below zero today, and that has officials cautioning central Vermonters about the dangers of frostbite and burst pipes.
The National Weather Service issued a wind chill advisory that took effect last night and is expected to continue until 7 p.m. today. Temperatures topping out around zero today and northwest winds of 10 to 15 mph are expected to create dangerous conditions in Washington County and all of northern Vermont.
People venturing out are advised to wear warm clothing and to be sure to cover exposed skin like fingers, ears and noses to prevent frostbite, which can lead to hypothermia if proper precautions arent taken.
Montpelier Fire Chief Bob Gowans advised residents not to use home appliances like cooking stoves for extra heat because of the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning and fire.
He also warned residents to take steps to prevent their water pipes from freezing and bursting, especially for older, poorly insulated homes. He said homeowners can keep a trickle of water running from a faucet to prevent pipes from freezing if they plan to be out for the day.
The fire department responded to a burst pipe at a Marvin Street home last week because the homeowners had turned down the furnace while they were away. A neighbor noticed the flooding from the pipes and called authorities, he said.
Gowans added that people leaving town for several days should arrange to have someone check on their homes.
Residents are urged to contact the fire department if they dont have enough heat and to check on elderly neighbors or others who may be particularly at risk in these conditions.
Officials will also be keeping an eye on the Winooski River and other waterways, as a rapid increase in river ice is expected over the coming days, potentially leading to ice jams and rising water levels.MORE IN Central VermontBARRE Joan Black came for the desserts, Shirley Farnham came for the music, Leon Gendron came...

Mr. Valrey has made several complaints to KPFA Management about abusive conduct by some KPFA paid Station Staff members. None of the people he has complained about have been suspended.

Standing up to racism at K.P.F.A. was a stance for Black media everywhere,and now Mr. Valery needs the support of the whole community. Please sign the petition and spread widely.

Oh how I hope you guys can help me out here :-)
http://www.eazyguide.dk/dialis is the site i'm working and testing on.
I've added a widget to show pages - just to test things out. The widget was added just below the header.
However, I now wish to remove the widget but cannot get it off the page :-( I have removed the widget in the standard WP widget area (I use Suffusion theme) but when I saved the widget still shows up on the webpage...
So - I've deleted the plugin from "plugins" on the WP admin page, and also made sure the widget "pages" was removed before deleting the plugin.
BUT THE MENU STILL SHOWS?! How is that - I have no idea where else i'm supposed to look. All i did was install the plugin, add the widget and then remove the widget again :-(
Hope you guys can help me out - should I look in my database, and if yes, where?
Thanks guys!

Peter Jackson's Hobbit Adaptations Are Statistically Too Damn Long
Look, we know everyone's been complaining about the length of the Hobbit trilogy ever since the decision to make the adaptation into 3 separate movies. And they were right to! But now we have actual statistics to show that they're some of the most gratuitous book-to-movie adaptations ever.

Wal-Mart To Move Into 6 D.C. Urban Neighborhoods
While some communities have fought to keep Wal-Mart out, officials in Washington, D.C., have welcomed the retailer with open arms. Most of the stores will be built in underserved neighborhoods. But community activists complain city leaders should have pressed Wal-Mart for concessions on starting salaries and other benefits before announcing the deal.
NPR's business news starts with Wal-Mart entering the nation's capital. Wal-Mart says it will open six stores in Washington, D.C., its first stores in that city. It's a coup for the retailer and for the city's mayor. Patrick Madden from member station WAMU reports.
PATRICK MADDEN, BYLINE: While some communities have fought to keep Wal-Mart out, D.C. officials have welcomed the retailer with open arms. Most of the stores will be built in underserved neighborhoods and city leaders say the promise of hundreds of jobs and access to fresh groceries overrode concerns about Wal-Mart possibly driving down wages or driving out small businesses.
Wal-Mart spokesperson Steven Restivo says the company is targeting neighborhoods with few retail options.
STEVE RESTIVO: There are large pockets of underserved communities, in some cases even food deserts, where people just don't have choices. We feel our stores can be part of the solution again.
MADDEN: But community activists like Dyana Forester, complain city leaders should've pressed Wal-Mart for concessions on starting salaries and other benefits before announcing the deal.
DYANA FORESTER: When you make negotiations behind closed doors and then you say you're building six Wal-Marts, and we want to know where the community engagement is, the community is not being involved in the process.
MADDEN: Washington Mayor Vincent Gray says the city is working on a community benefits agreement with Wal-Mart. For NPR News, I'm Patrick Madden in Washington.
