Heed the mobile call
You deserve to hear the truth. I am an anomaly in our high tech information set: I don't own or use a mobile phone. That was quite a face you just made. And did I hear an outright scoff? Well, I can't blame you. Given that, per Wikipedia, there are over 5 billion mobile phones in use and about 6.93 billion people worldwide, I am well in the minority. I'm even more so in the US, where there are about 303 million mobile phones in a population of about 301 million. And in the UK, mobile phones actually outnumber people with 77,750,000 in use for a population of 61,612,300.
So there you have it: I am one of the few in the information industry who muddles through sans phone. Now that we have the confession out of the way, let's move forward. I am a great fan - and avid user - of mobile technologies. A laptop was a massive productivity leap for me given the travel requirements of my job. An eReader eliminated the need to pack several books and magazines for a trip. And when I found I could stay in touch with the office, monitor my calendar, and participate in social media and email conversations effectively via a wee iPod Touch, I was not only pleased, but also relieved to be free of a shoulder-straining laptop bag.
Yet even the most diehard mobile user knows there are things easier done on a computer and some that are still impossible to achieve on a mobile device. With the entry of tablets into the market, that list continues to shrink. Though I still bring a laptop on the road, I can usually leave it at the hotel room. And, given my experience using a tablet so far, I think my laptop may soon lose its travel visa.
Clearly, I'm not alone in seeing that mobile has transcended text messaging and obnoxious commuter rail chatter and even gone well beyond out-off-office-tether. Mobile devices in a variety of sizes, shapes and operating systems are increasingly taking robust office and information experiences on the road in small - yet also increasingly usable - form factors. While the "oh wow" factor of smartphones and iPads piqued the interest of many an early adopter, the rapid proliferation of eReading devices and influx of tablets are broadening the appeal of information applications to go.
Despite the proliferation of mobile devices, our research - available in the FreePint Volume: Mobile Enterprise Markets and Barriers - has shown a remarkable reticence to deploy content to mobile devices at the enterprise level. Security, interoperability and device management were (and remain) among the valid concerns slowing enterprise mobile content deployment. However as we gear up for our next round of research into enterprise deployment of mobile information, we already see signs of increased momentum. I encourage you to register your interest in participating in our next round of research to contribute your expectations, concerns, insights (and even your personal mobile wish list) to better enable both content buyers and sellers to move smartly forward in the mobile information market.
Best regards,
Michelle Manafy,
Director of Content

OrgIntel: Organisational intelligence for finding and influencing your stakeholders
By Scott Brown
FUMSI: Find
Ever felt that your organisation does not appreciate the value you provide as an information professional? Well, all you need to do is follow Scott Brown's very practical suggestions and carry out OrgIntel, This is all about finding the influencers and conversations in your organisation and then, coupled with a willingness to increase your visibility, you can get involved in the discussions and anticipate information needs.
WHAT'S INSIDE: 'Organisational intelligence, or "OrgIntel", is about finding, and actively pursuing, the key groups and stakeholders you, as information professionals, need to connect with in your organisation so that you can demonstrate the value of what you do. It's not quite stalking - but it's the next best thing. There are four components of the concept of OrgIntel: searching for clues; finding the pulse; beyond the organisation chart; and visibility and openness. Through practising OrgIntel, and participating in the discussions in our organisations, we raise our visibility, become more closely aligned to our organisations' true needs, and open ourselves up to addressing those needs more actively.'

Using the golden information thread: Some lessons from the Utilities sector for managing risk, making decisions and providing governance.
By Edward Ptolomey
FUMSI: Use
Projects often involve third parties which inevitably makes information management more complicated, particularly when it comes to ensuring there is only "one version of the truth". Edward Ptolomey shows how a partnership approach in the utilities sector reduced duplication of information and helped risk management.
WHAT'S INSIDE: 'Often it is third party organisations that hold the key information on the product or service which is being delivered. But, as a client, this information is critical to enable you to develop as a business and ensure that you are complying with quality standards, health & safety, legislation and governance. To obtain and use this critical information you can either demand it is given to you as part of the contract arrangement or you can embrace a partnership approach. Partnership creates a platform for involving the third party in creating and exploring common information requirements that enable workflow. This will enable there to be "one version of the truth".'

VIP Magazine: On the Horizon
VIP Magazine features VIP Horizon, a brief summary of important news in the information industry, interpreted to help information managers communicate upward regarding strategy, risk management and planning for change.
The most recent issue of VIP (No. 91) features the following in VIP Horizon:
Offshoring finance and accounting activities now constitutes an unacceptable risk for many senior executives in large British and American companies, findings from the analyst Ovum show. Trading cost for quality is one of the issues - where India, for example, produces some of the lowest priced accounting staff in the world but also scores lowest on satisfaction.
Which means that online information providers such as LexisNexis and Thomson Reuters may have got their timing right in their continuing development of cost saving software-based workflow solutions - principally for the legal, tax and accountancy field but also in financial services such as insurance.
Figures from Verizon show that the number of records compromised by data security breaches may have dropped dramatically in 2010, but the number of separate attacks was the highest to date. Yet only 3% of the breaches were considered unavoidable without difficult or expensive corrective action.
Meanwhile a Frost & Sullivan report shows that, although the growing use of mobile devices can compromise security, technological issues are only part of the story. Security policies and user education are lagging too, and some security professionals are resisting adopting such technologies even though they are widely embraced by business and end users.
Recent large scale cloud computing security issues involving Amazon and Sony are unlikely to result in a backlash against cloud-based services, figures from the Cloud Industry Forum suggest. Nevertheless the analyst Gartner warns that cloud-enabled outsourcing is still "immature and fraught with potential hazards".
Respondents to the Forum's survey did have some concerns about the Cloud, chief among which were issues of data security, privacy and sovereignty. But probably most significant of all was the finding that over two thirds of cloud migration decisions were taken by the head of IT, compared with just a quarter taken by the boss.
Reuters' release of its second video product within a year incidentally emphasises the growing importance of tablet devices within business. Its Livestream 24/7 video feed is designed to make it easier for smaller publishers to compete with services like CNN.com and MSNBC - and the earlier Insider video on demand service aimed to bring broadcast standard financial video programming to investment professionals.
As Reuters explains, video content is compatible with mobile devices including tablet technology. Since the analyst Forrester estimates that tablet sales will total 195 million between 2010 and 2015, bringing video capability to niche publishers looks like good sense.
With social media now too embedded in knowledge work to be ignored, guidance on their safe use is becoming essential. Guidelines issued by top news organisations such as Reuters, the Financial Times or, most recently, Bloomberg, provide pretty good models.
Although designed for journalists, advice like being sceptical of any information forwarded on a social network, and thinking carefully about retweeting (because it implies endorsement of the original tweet) is of value in any organisation. So too are their warnings to corporate spokespeople who may be tempted to break company news on Twitter before getting an official press release authorised.

Oil states deny talks about the dollar replacement 14:15 (CET)
The large oil production nations denied today a news by a British newspaper, that stated that the Arab states are secretly engaged in negotiations with Russia, China and France to replace the dollar with a basket of currencies in the oil trade.Muhamad al Yaser, Saudi Arabia Central Bank President, said that the news is absolutely incorrect. When the journalists asked if his country was indeed negotiating, the answer was the same.
The Russia Vice-Minister of Finance, Dmitry Pankin, said: We haven't discussed that absolutely.
The Algerian Finance Minister, Karim Djudi, said to Reuters, that the oil countries need to stabilize their gains, but (...) I don't see the need that the oil trade should be denominated differently.

UPDATE: NVIDIA Fermi continues to have problems according to multiple sources
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 30, 2009 - 02:45 PM | Ryan Shrout
Earlier in December we reported that NVIDIA had more than likely lost the big high-performance computing win with Oak Ridge Labs, and the lack of any kind of response pretty much confirms that.

NVIDIA demos 3D Blu-ray running on GeForce and 3D Vision

3D technology continues to gain ground with mainstream TVs being released this winter with support for the up and coming visual enhancement. One of the most exciting things coming for the world of 3D is the introduction of 3D Blu-ray movies coming later this year. I definitely expect a lot of noise to be made at January's Consumer Electronics Show about it.
Vapor-X, not vapor ware
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 7, 2009 - 02:07 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
As far as the factory overclock goes, the Sapphire Radeon HD 5750 Vapor-X isn't really impressive; 710MHz/1160MHz versus the reference 700MHz/1150MHz

Don't let that GPU slack off
Subject: Graphics Cards | December 1, 2009 - 06:39 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
As GPUs learn how to do more and more things it is almost a waste to let it idle now. If you aren't gaming then you can get Folding@Home to use those spare cycles, but there is more that it can do. The recent release of Flash 10 sees the introduction of a Flash player that can utilize the GPU as oppose to your overworked CPU. Now Benchmark Reviews wants to ensure that your movie playback, either SD or HD, takes advantage of that expensive GPU in your system to ensure smooth playback.
Balancing asymmetrical graphics
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 27, 2009 - 12:26 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
It has been a while since we've seen a review of an unbalanced Crossfire setup, so drop by Overclockers Club to see an HD 5870 and an HD 5850,
that they managed to get their hands on somehow, paired on a Core i7 920 system. They overclocked the HD5850 to the same speeds as the HD5870, 1GHz GPU and 1200MHz for the memory. The boost they saw was impressive, the Catalys
Not another DX10
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 24, 2009 - 01:57 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Microsoft had a hope that DX10 would convince masses of gamers to migrate from WinXP to Vista. Unfortunately, a better dynamic lighting range and slightly improved textures just wasn't enough to convince gamers to upgrade en mass. Part of that was hardware support but mostly it was the poor implementation of features into games, there was not a huge difference. DX11's arrival saw affordable hardware on the scene already and a list of games that will support it before launch. Perhaps the biggest draw is the Heaven Benchmark, which if you have not yet seen,
Still not fast enough graphics!
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 20, 2009 - 02:34 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
What could possibly be better than an HD5970? An HD 5970 overclocked from 725 MHz to 935 MHz on the core and from 4000MHz to 5240 MHz
on the GDDR5, that's what! Since AMD has taken down their overvolting tool it is up to MSI's Afterburner to bump the default 1.05V GPU core to 1.1625V, as you need more power to manage this overclock. The Guru of 3D walks you through the perils and benefits of such a hefty overclock along with showing you all the steps you need in their article.

MSI Releases N240GT - First Graphics Card to Over-voltage with Afterburner Software
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 17, 2009 - 02:07 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom

GIGABYTE Launches NVIDIA GeForce GT240 Series Graphics Cards with Premium Audio Experience
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 17, 2009 - 01:55 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
GIGABYTE Technology Co. LTD., a leading manufacturer of motherboards and graphics cards, today presents the latest GeForceTM GT240 Series graphics cards - "GV-N240D5-512I & GV-N240D3-1GI". Thanks to advanced 40nm process, GV-N240D5-512I and GV-N240D3-1GI provide better performance while using less power. Even during hardcore overclocking the graphics cards can still run in low operating temperatures. Using GDDR5 memory, GV-N240D5-512I promises high speed gaming experience.
Make sure you go with the GDDR5 model
Subject: Graphics Cards | November 17, 2009 - 01:32 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Although it is very nice to see nVIDIA finally putting GDDR5 on their cards, they managed to tarnish the launch of the GT 240 by pulling a mean trick on buyers of low end cards. There are two versions of nVIDIA's enw low end card, a DDR3 version which runs at 2000 MHz and offers 32.0 GB/s of bandwidth and a GDDR5 version which runs at 3400MHz with 54.4 GB/s of memory bandwidth.

'Raising Arizona' Child Actor on 'Surreal' Film With Nicolas Cage, Holly Hunter
T.J. Kuhn, now a real estate agent in Phoenix, shared how a motorcycle helped him get the gig, and why the film is still his father's most popular holiday gift.
By Ashley Lee
Today caught up with T.J. Kuhn, the child actor who played Nathan Arizona Jr. in the 1987 cult comedy classic Raising Arizona. The film stars Nicolas Cage and Holly Hunter as a couple who struggle with fertility issues and kidnap a baby—one from a set of quintuplets—and are then chased by a bounty hunter.

Kuhn told Today on Wednesday that he was only a year old when he was featured in the film. "It's surreal to sit there and watch," he said of the footage, while his mother recalled, "He was just so laid back — i think during the auditions, he just didn't care. they passed him all around!"
Kuhn's father first heard about the opportunity while working at a jail and spotting the ad in the newspaper. "I thought it'd be a fun thing to do, to take him to the interview," he said, as they noted that the casting process included putting baby Kuhn alongside a motorcycle to see how he'd react.
However, Kuhn is now out of the acting game—shortly afterward, he did film two commercials, but is now a real estate agent in Phoenix. Still, his father gives out copies of Raising Arizona as gifts. "I've even had him sign a couple of copies!" he said of his son.

The Today segment follows the morning show's catch-up with twins Kristina and Michelle Kennedy, the twins who rotated in as Elizabeth Wiatt in the Charles Shyer's 1987 film Baby Boom with Diane Keaton, Sam Shepard and Harold Ramis; and twins Lisa Blair and Michelle Blair Ontonovich,who played Mary in Leonard Nimoy's 1987 hit, Three Men and a Baby, starring Ted Danson, Steve Guttenberg and Tom Selleck.

This "STFU! Moment" brought to you courtesy of Christina Ricci. As she was doing her round promoting the upcoming SPEED RACER (holy hell, I see "box office flop" written all over that), Christina started claiming that it was ridiculous that actresses would aspire to play strippers in movies, in particular mocking Lindsay Lohan in her pseudo-stripping role in last year's flop I KNOW WHO KILLED ME.
Christina, the ever so careful at deciding when to stick her foot in her mouth actress was quoted as saying: " �It used to be something that we (women) were sort of ashamed of. You didn�t want to admit to people that you were a stripper. But now, the hottest thing to say is, �I can work a pole!� Who gives a f**k? But it�s a huge weird thing. I mean, you see actresses, and their passion project is to play a stripper. It�s just stupid.�
As opposed to being really turned on by the idea of playing a small town, redneck, emaciated nympho? Is that the difference, Christina? Please explain it to me. Should actresses be putting their nude bodies into fake positions of the pump-and-dump instead of twirling around on a pole? Is that the line that takes a woman from being a stupid tart on film to a serious actress? Sheesh. You're old enough now to know when to STFU, aren't you?

how much time on motor before synthetic is ok??
ive been reading that its not a good idea to use a full-synthetic oil for break in so how much time do you guys recommend putting on a SBC before running synthetic? i have a rebuilt 283 that has about 6000km's on it and i want to start running mobil 1 or something similar but i want to make sure thats enough time. if not, would it be alright to "ween" it on to a full synthetic by changing it with a semi synthetic now and using mobil 1 or something next oil change?? ive asked everyone from race mechanics to machine shop employees and i get answers ranging from "at least 10,000k" to "just enough time to let the cam break in", so i thought id get some opinions from you guys. thanks alot
A rule of thumb is after 2000 miles. You should be fine to change it out to synthetic since you say you have 6000 km. on the engine. No need to wean it.
Re: how much time on motor before synthetic is ok??
If that were true the most expensive sports cars in the world wouldn't come from the factory with synthetic. On new cars I change to synthetic at 500 miles. On my street rods, I use it from day one.
Well this must be one of the oldest debates since Ford vs. Chevy. I have not had the time to do any serious search engine digging to find any 'reputable' articles on this issue but I do think at some point I read something that stated certain chemical properties that were in crude oil that were absent from synthetic were recommended for break-in periods. This doesn't mean an absolute must, but recommended. If it were totally false and nothing but a myth why would major parts manufactures (who do plenty of R&D) still to this day recommend crude oil for break-in. I quoted this post in another thread and will paste it here also.
Directly from Crane Cams F.A.Q. sheet...
Crane Cams does not recommend the use of synthetic oils during the initial break-in period for a new camshaft. Use a good quality grade of naturally formulated motor oil during this period. If you choose to use synthetic oil after the engine has been broken in, change the oil filter and follow the oil manufacturer's instructions.
Again you see the word "recommend", not must use. It also recommended crude oil for the break-in of the distributor gear in my Mallory distributors paperwork. It would be interesting to see some paperwork from manufactures that sell products running on synthetic as to break-in procedures. Personally, I have always used crude for break-in just to be safe. But who really knows.
I think what alot of people do not understand is the break in period for piston rings today. Most rings are designed to break in about as fast as the cam. The old days of rough cylinder walls and long break in periods are gone. From what I have read and been told, piston rings are fully seated by the time the engine goes through the proper cam breakin period. So, my vote is for switch to synthetic after initial break in. This is what I did on my turbo engine. It had about 20 minutes run time when I switched it, but it is a high output race engine and will see a rebuild before most engines have their second oil change.
On the engines from the GM factory using syn. oil the motors are run first then changed over from the regular oil to syn. type.
Using synthetic oils for break in is False, NEVER brake in a motor or it will be leaking/blow-by oil until its done correctly.
TurboS10 is correct in his posting, after break in is OK to change.
On a new car I change mine after 500 miles using Royal Purple.
Luv the smell of NITRO in the morning.

Go Ahead, Akamai... Make-a My Day! Brian Graney (TMF Panic)
October 29, 1999
After months of discussion and speculation on Web message boards and in techie-related hangouts across the country, the general U.S. investing public was finally treated to the long-awaited initial public offering of Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Internet start-up non pareil Akamai (Nasdaq: AKAM) today.
Instead of boring old Tootsie Rolls or miniature Snickers bars, trick-or-treating investors who were able to obtain shares in the company at its initial public offering price of $26 per share were handed a unique goodie for their Halloween bags -- a big, fat, gold brick. Shortly after opening for trading in the triple digits at around 1:30 p.m. EDT, shares of Akamai (say AH-kuh-my) accelerated to as high as $166 per share before giving up some of that ground and finishing the day at $145 3/16 per share.
With the company selling 9 million shares, representing a roughly 10% stake, the market granted the IPO wunderkind a first day business valuation in the neighborhood of $13 billion, putting the $1.9 billion first day run-up of 1998 IPO star eBay (Nasdaq: EBAY) to shame. In fact, the market really hasn't seen such a rapid one-day price appreciation since eMeringue (Ticker: HAFD) went public on April 1, and we all know how that story ended.
To say that folks are expecting a lot from the year-old Akamai would qualify as the understatement of the information age. The company's main claim to fame is its FreeFlow Internet content delivery system, which uses a network of 1,745 servers across 55 telecommunications networks in 24 countries to speed up the flow of Web-based content. With FreeFlow, website owners can use Akamai's servers inside points of presence (POPs) close to the end user to serve varying amounts of content. For instance, the local Akamai server could take care of serving thousands of bytes of embedded information on a page -- such as banner ads, logos, and graphics images -- while allowing the site's own Web server to handle the text-based content that goes along with that embedded data to make up a typical Web page.
The end result is faster and more reliable delivery of Web-based content for Akamai customers, which include cyberspace bigshots like Yahoo! (NYSE: YHOO) and Disney's (NYSE: DIS) GO Network, and even Web small-fries such as a little site called the The Motley Fool. The list of the firm's technology partners is even more impressive, including the likes of Microsoft (Nasdaq: MSFT), Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO), RealNetworks (Nasdaq: RNWK), Network Appliance (Nasdaq: NTAP), and Vignette (Nasdaq: VIGN).
The company's main competitor in content delivery services is Sandpiper Networks, a firm initially backed by Web heavyweights America Online (NYSE: AOL) and Inktomi (Nasdaq: INKT) that was acquired earlier this week by Digital Island (Nasdaq: ISLD) for about $625 million in stock. Even with the benefit of only a few days' worth of hindsight, that seems like a bargain given Akamai's surge today. It also goes a long way in explaining why Digital Island's stock jumped another $9 5/16 to $67 1/2 today and has nearly tripled in the past five trading days.
Trying to figure out what a company like Akamai is worth is about as much fun as herding cats (and arguably about as popular). "When you think about it, buying a stock is essentially purchasing its future cash flows, discounted back to the present," fellow Fool Warren Gump suggested in the midst of last fall's share price explosion in eBay. "If you make relatively minor changes to your expectations for a company, a soaring stock price may be justified."
Right now, the expectations are sky-high for Akamai, but that doesn't necessarily preclude them from getting even higher.

Strip water based S.W. sealer off my deck? (Pics)
I used S.W. brand water based sealer, didn't go so well.
Picture below.
It now looks like someone threw 100 full ash trays all over it.
My plan is to use a deck stripper, then random orbit sand and pressure wash... to prep for oil based sealer.
Are there any decent strippers available at Home Depot/ Lowes? ha ha... decent strippers...
P.T. pine deck put on last July, let it weather for 45 days, then sanded off any graying and the ink labels and powerwashed... looked like fresh cut lumber.
Let it dry, next day I sprayed the SW deckscaped on 2-3 boards at a time then used a roller to spread it thinly/ evenly. Looked awesome for a while, then it started turning gray, then it got REALLY gray and splotchy and now looks terrible. I tried pressure washing a section and the stuff is hanging on for dear life so I thought a stripper might help.
Suggestions on my idea to strip the deck/ sand/ wash, and product recommendations for a high quality oil based sealer (no or light pigment/ tint).
Thanks! John
(PS the 10+ year old wood in the gazebo prepped the same way has held up well with the same product so I suspect it might be a reaction with the new P.T. wood?)
After a couple months (just rained that's why it's wet in spots). It looks much worse now...
Updated pic:
see if you can locate some Dex Stripade, to remove old finish.
Go online to pressuretek or sunbrite supply and order their stripper, they are much better. You will also need to neutralize after you strip. They sell that also. Then sand any areas that need it. I prefer Ready Seal, it is what I use on my customer's decks. You can get it clear or tinted, the tinted offers better protection. Hope that helps.
Agree with ff about Ready Seal. if you get stripper from Pressuretec or Sunbright be sure to mix to specs. Water based are not hard to remove.
The pics look like decks treated with Thompsons Water seal look like after about 3 months............are you sure it was an SW product?
Yes I'm sure it was Sherwin Williams, Deckscapes water based- positive, I think I still have a partial can at home...
I searched online for Deckscapes water based reviews, and for the most part they are terrible.
From now on, for me it's oil based for sealing/ staining exterior wood surfaces/ priming the shed/ priming new exterior boards etc.
Thanks for the replies guys, I'll see if I can get a hold of some of this stripper and will start over.
John, sorry to hear of your bad experience. I will have to admit that from time to time I have trouble with Deckscapes also. For clear coats I prefer FLOOD Co's CWF-UV. They have clear, cedar, and redwood. The only problem with the clear flood is that it tends to bring out an orange color out of PT wood.

SHORT TAKES: Belding shows why we love where we live
It takes a community, and Belding has done it … that is, to recognize what we're all about.
It's about our neighbors, our friends, and the people who help us in our hometown institutions. Last week the people of Belding showed the love and appreciation for a person who had served them for nearly 40 years. Library funds are precious and slim; and Betty Jenkins, who has served the library since her high school days, faced the loss of her job. An appreciating community stepped up to say no, we want you to stay.
With that kind of endorsement, we hope the community will reach out to help such an essential community asset. The Alvah N. Belding Library, with its classic structure, has been blessed with the leadership styles of Toni Jagger, and in earlier years, Jackie Badersnider. That's why we love where we live.

When government leaders enact legislation that is good for all mankind, what's the next step for the losers … you're right!
Their next step is to pick it apart; piece-by-piece… Michigan's ban on smoking in public places is two years old and predictably under attack. From the start, Detroit's gambling casinos and the state's American Indian casinos are exempt for reasons apparently legal but nonetheless not likely to lower the cost of healthcare for the rest of us.
Now comes Traverse City politician Sen. Howard Walker, who wants exemptions for charitable fundraising events. We understand the fundamental inconveniences of pushing people to outdoor places. But what's the problem?
Smoking works in the great outdoors, and that's Traverse City's greatest attribute. We know it gets cold there, so why not have a fundraiser — or even an outdoor designer challenge — to build an outdoor place for smokers?
Don't compromise essential public legislation for more charity bucks, because the ultimate medical cost to all of us for tobacco-related diseases far outweighs any temporary local gain.

This Wednesday brings the "Spring Fling," a free event fashion show at 7 p.m. in the First United Methodist Church at 204 W. Cass St. in Greenville.
The event will feature some of the season's hottest looks, in order to help kids. A dessert reception will follow the show. According to fashion show organizer Elaine Pendrick, "Women of all ages and sizes will be modeling this season's latest fashions."
A free-will offering will benefit Greenville school's Opportunity for Success Fund, a fund that quietly supports homeless children in the area in many ways. Men are no doubt invited to drop in with their monetary contributions to a good cause.
Editorial opinions are the consensus of The Daily News editorial board.

Royal Mail Steam Packet Company Kylsant Empire Part 7
From SN Guides
Revision as of 16:54, 5 January 2009; view current revision
←Older revision | Newer revision→
The aftermath of the collapse of the group and the rescue operation
Starting the task of rationalising Harland & Wolff (H&W)
The Royal Mail Scheme
Royal Mail Steam Packet group:
African Steamship group and Elder Dempster group
Argentine Navigation group
Coast Lines group
Glen Line group
Lamport & Holt group
Moss group
Union-Castle group
White Star group
Ever since Kylsant formed White Star Line Ltd on 1 January 1927 to acquire the Oceanic Steam Navigation Co Ltd, the appalling transatlantic trading conditions had resulted in a steady reduction in the size of the White Star fleet. By the end of 1933 the remaining White Star group companies were clearly bankrupt and the Treasury was obliged to step in.
Non-shipping group
The resumption of shipbuilding also led to a resumption of contract losses. It soon became clear to the trustees and the Midland Bank that H&W had still failed to produce reliable estimates and to control costs. These continuing management failures resulted in Rebbeck coming under repeated attack especially for financial disasters like the Sir Hastings Anderson built in 1934 for the War Office at a loss of £80,000 on a contract price of £30,000. Rebbeck's defence was that other shipyards were tendering at the same prices as H&W. He appeared to be unable to comprehend that costs at other British shipyards were far lower than those of H&W. This argument continued until the arrival of cost-plus wartime contracts.

Here in Australia it is December 25 - Christmas Day, and one year since I went to the Bridge.
Dad said I was determined not to be forgotten, and he was correct. I picked a memorable day to make my departure.
Mum still misses me, I know, cos the other kitties are not the total cuddle kitty I was, although Smokey curls up with her in bed. But he sleeps curled against her, not in her arms the way I did.
Sending Christmas wishes to all my furrends. Us Angels will be partying for a while - we have a lot of time zones to cover, MOL. And we'll be sprinkling angel dust on our families for Christmas too.
So from all the Angels to all our Catster furrends -Meow Meow Meow -Meowy Catmouse.
Thank you for the rosies and pmail for my Birthday. I would have been 20, but I am celebrating in style at the Bridge with all my Catster pals and furmily who are here.
Mum still misses me - she says it is not the same without me around. The fact that I slept just about every night of my life with her, in her arms, means that bedtime always reminds her of me.
But I am keeping an eye over everyone, especially my BFF Utu. I know he misses me too. We were very close. He has started letting Mum cuddle him more, which is good. He can't be a loner just cos I have gone.
Love you all, Allie
She has named me Angel Dreamboat #6. Thank you so much Samoa - I am honoured to be included with so many pawsome kitties.
Samoa has her page all ready for St Paddy's Day - complete with Irish music. It looks great. Mum particularly likes Danny Boy, so we checked out the page for ages, MOL.
Mum's a bit slack - she had St Paddied the mutts pages, but not ours, yet. We'll probably get a token one, grrrr. Ra, no doubt, since he is our spokescat.
On another note, Smokey and Marmalade are three today (well, we are in Oz - so they were three yesterday). Kittens grow up so fast - seems like only yesterday they were climbing the mosquito net and swinging from the hoop at the ceiling above the bed.
They had chicken for dinner - a family favourite. It hasn't been on offer as much since I went to the Bridge. There was some permanently in the fridge for me - but Mum tells the younguns they don't need to be tempted to eat.
Well, I'm off to play with some of my Angel Mates. Thank you again so much, Samoa. Wait till I tell Calvin - I bet he already knows, though.

Nuance, the company responsible for developing Apple's Siri personal assistant has announced a partnership with Gracenote, giving it access to a gargantuan database of music, films, videos and TV shows.
The partnership will first bear fruit in the form of VoCon Music Premium, a service which will "combine Nuance's voice and language understanding technologies with Gracenote's MediaVOCS database of phonetic transcriptions for artists and albums."
Nuance, of course, provides the speech recognition for Apple's Virtual Assistant, Siri. While Siri's currently able to play back songs stored on your iPhone 4S, if Apple opts to bolt VoCon Music Premium onto Siri you'd be able to use natural language to request any song – streamed off the iCloud onto your iPhone 4S with a Spotify-like subscription service.
VoCon Music Premium's initially intended for use in cars, but iven Apple's past history with Nuance, it's no big stretch to imagine Apple kitting out Siri with the service – watch this space.

Last Minute Shoppers Scrambling
If you are one of the many people who waited until the last second to get your Christmas shopping done, you're not alone. There are many others, and you might very well see them at the mall today.
There are different reasons why people wait until the last minute. Some people just don't want to deal with the headache. Others had a different reason.
"I started shopping in September. I thought I was ahead of the game. But then I just stopped," one shopper told KTRH.
Another shopper said she just gets too busy to make it to the mall.
"I work during the week. And I'm too tired to go during the weekend," that shopper said.
And then there are those shoppers with bigger priorities.
"I have two daughters. It's so difficult to go shopping with them," this shopper explained.
The one thing these shoppers realized was when they finally got to the mall, the people they encountered weren't necessarily in the Christmas spirit.
"There are a lot of people who are frustrated, grumpy and rude," one shopper explained.
Therapist Julie Nise tells KTRH people put off their Christmas shopping because of the pressure that comes along with it. But that thinking backfires more often than not.
"It's only temporary because then you have to deal with what you were delaying in the first place," Nise explained.
But there might be another reason we put it off.
"You want to make sure you get something good. That sometimes makes people really spend time thinking about it," Nice explained.
Whatever the reason is, time is running out. And if you haven't gotten your shopping done, time isn't on your side.

Sociology is the study of human societies and social behavior. It is both a science and a perspective. As a science, Sociology applies a wide range of formal methodologies to investigate the relationship between and among individuals, groups and societies. As a perspective, Sociology helps enable us to view our society and other societies critically and objectively. Through Sociology we find that what we often think of as "common sense" is, in fact, neither common nor sensical. Sociology students may also be interested in the Human Services Minor.
Students are often uncertain about what they can do with a degree in Sociology. Many believe that Sociology is an interesting field but not a practical one. Nothing could be further from the truth. Individuals with degrees in Sociology may find employment in a wide variety of fields including business and commerce, social services, education, government, research, marketing, journalism, health services, and many others. Sociology as an academic pursuit allows students to develop critical analysis skills including problem solving, concept modeling and writing. These are the skills most in demand and most rewarding in the ever-competitive job market of the global economy. Sociology students may also be interested in the Human Services Minor.

Scale of 1-10, how painful was back to work this week? I'm having major "holiday hangover", missing having the hubs home during the day and trying to get the kids' sleep schedule back on track after a week of relaxed rules and way too much sugar. I'm in need of some major motivation and organization – especially since my home "office" is a desk two feet from our bed, and our room happens to be the most disorganized and cluttered room in the house! (Although I heard hygge is the new KonMari, I don't think it applies here…) 2016 kind of kicked our collective butts, as Shana alluded to – but we are strong, resilient ladies and it's time to get back to business. Nothing centers me like having a functional, organized clean-ish workspace and I want the things I see and use everyday to "spark joy". I found some gorgeous tech accessories and stylish office supplies to help start the year on the right foot.
2017: let's do this thing.

Foreign Languages department hosts French Day for area high schoolers
Martine Motard-Noar, professor of French in the Department of Foreign Languages, said she organized the event for the second year in a row with the goal of inspiring students to continue studying French – the second most-frequently taught language in the world.
In addition to the culturally oriented fun and games, McDaniel's faculty oversees the administration of the annual French language competition, called "Le Grand Concours," which is sponsored by the American Association of Teachers of French. The hour-long written exam includes grammatical concepts, reading comprehension, aural comprehension and cultural topics. It is graded by the national organization, and top scorers earn scholarships, books, CDs and medals.
As part of the day's festivities, French Professor Jacqueline Couti showed them a dance called bèle, which originates from Martinique, an island in the eastern Caribbean Sea. They also heard from McDaniel students Brenden Aston and Mary Beth Bounds, who shared photos and insights from their study abroad experience at the University of Saint Louis in Brussels, Belgium, as well as Greg Dubicki about his semester at the University of Grenoble, France.
McDaniel alumnus Aaron Christman '05, who was a French major, talked about using his French-speaking skills while serving in the Peace Corps with his wife in Anosibe An'Ala, Madagascar, as environment volunteers from 2006 to 2008.
Kelly Zavandro, who teaches French at Winters Mill High School in Westminster, said the experience was an invaluable one for the 70 ninth- and 10th-graders she brought to campus.
"People think that Spanish is the only useful foreign language, and that's just not true," Zavandro said. "This is a good experience because it helps the students to see that French is all around."

11:45 a.m. Monday Update: The U.S. Geological Survey has revised its assessment of last night's quake off the Humboldt County coast, now rating it as a magnitude-6.8 event. About 26 aftershocks have been recorded since the quake, which hit at 10:18 p.m. last night.
Original post, 12:10 a.m. Monday: The U.S. Geological Survey says a magnitude-6.9 earthquake struck at 10:18 p.m. Sunday night off the Humboldt County coast, about 250 miles northwest of San Francisco.
The Associated Press and Los Angeles Times both quote local officials as saying there were no early reports of damage or injuries. The California Office of Emergency Services reported, via Twitter, that as of 11:30 p.m. it had no reports of trouble from the coast.
The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center said there is no danger of a tsunami from the quake.
The quake was centered about 40 miles west of Eureka, the largest town in Humboldt County, and was about 7.5 miles under the seafloor. The initial quake was followed by 10 aftershocks by midnight Sunday, the largest a magnitude-4.6 shake recorded at 10:51 p.m. The USGS "Did You Feel It?" public report page included a smattering of reports from as far away as the Bay Area, the northern Sierra Nevada and the Willamette Valley in Oregon. More than 2,000 reports came from communities around Humboldt Bay.
The offshore region is the site of the Mendocino Triple Junction, where the Gorda, Pacific and North American tectonic plates meet just north of the terminus of the San Andreas Fault.
In April 1992, a 7.2-magnitude quake, followed by 6.5 and 6.7 shocks, violently shook the coast 30 miles southwest of Eureka, causing more than 100 injuries and severe damage in several towns, including Ferndale and Petrolia.
In November 1980, a 7.2-magnitude quake centered just off the coast caused widespread damage around Eureka, including the partial collapse of a freeway overpass south of Eureka.

Andy Carroll will be handed an England recall when Roy Hodgson announces his 22-man squad for the friendlies against Republic of Ireland and Brazil later today.
It will be the first time Carroll has been involved since the World Cup qualifier in Poland last October, when the burly forward was an unused substitute.
Carroll has ended the season at West Ham in fine form, though, and will bring additional steel to a squad that is also expected to include at least one new face, which could turn out to be Swansea midfielder Wayne Routledge.
With Ashley Cole due to be presented with the 100th cap he won against Brazil in February, Hodgson has not discounted the possibility of asking the Chelsea left-back if he wants to be captain against the Irish.
Cole has never shown any inclination to take on the skipper's role, still less get involved in the media obligations that come with it.
And the added complication is that Cole and club colleague Frank Lampard will not even arrive in the UK until Sunday afternoon, before heading straight to St George's Park, doubtless jet-lagged from a Transatlantic flight following the second of Chelsea's post-season friendlies against Manchester City.
It puts Wayne Rooney in pole position to carry out the role for the third time despite the difficulties he has been experiencing at Manchester United.
"He knows he is right up there," Hodgson said.
"He has captained England once for me, at home to San Marino.
"I know he enjoyed that experience and I am pretty sure there are times when he will captain England again."
At least it will provide some kind of distraction for Rooney, who went to see retiring United boss Sir Alex Ferguson three weeks ago and asked for a transfer.
Ferguson has already confirmed the request has been turned down, but urged the 27-year-old to get away in the summer and sort his head out.
That point was reinforced at the weekend by Hodgson's assistant Gary Neville, who claimed Rooney has not been mentally right for weeks.
"There are rumours circulating about whether he wants a move and if Manchester United are prepared to sell him," Hodgson said.
"I am not prepared to start making public statements about what I think is best for him.
"It's a matter for Wayne and Manchester United. I'm sure it will all get sorted between them.
"As far as I am concerned, it's about what he does for England."
Rooney has spoken to Hodgson to assure him the impending birth of his second child will not prevent him from meeting up.
"I was concerned but Wayne was at great pains to assure me that he was really looking forward to playing for England and it's something that's at top of his agenda," Hodgson added.
"That's enough for me. I've no reason to doubt him."

Guys, I own a Glock M27 in 40 and I love it. But I do want a 45. Went down to Gainesville today (Gator Country!) and went to a gunshop. Handled one of the new Sig 239 SAS guns with the new DAK action SWEEEEEEET! I like that gun, but it's still larger than my M27. I've got...lessee...enough 9 & 10 rd mags for that gun to launch over 70rds before I have to reload and just for grins I also got one of those aftermarket Schere 29rd hi-caps for those long trips in the country.
I just want a 45!


text: At the northeast corner of Santiago Park, stands an old-time Mérida restaurant, the Flor de Santiago. The Flor was founded in 1926 and bills itself as a restaurant/bakery/cafeteria. You can eat on the garden patio or in the main dining room facing Calle 70, where an enormous, whimsical painting of a Yucatecan village fair decorates one wall. At lunch or dinner, try the Chamorro Pibil – pork leg cooked in the classic Yucatecan sauce made from achiote, which English-speakers know better as annatto seed (MX$69/US$7). The portion is hearty, easily making six tacos. Another specialty worth trying is the Brazo de Reyna – the Queen's Arm! It is a tamal – corn meal steamed in a banana leaf – filled with classic Mayan ingredients: toasted pumpkin seeds, hard-boiled egg, and chaya, the spinach-like dark green leafy vegetable. Breakfast is served from 7:00 am to 12:00 noon, with combinations including juice and coffee priced from MX$38-79/US$4-8.

The Galdr of Rebirth is a heron Galdr usually requiring two singers. It has been used to: Restore the Serenes Forest (sang by Leanne & Reyson), restore Rajaion's form and sanity (again by Leanne & Reyson), return Muarim's condition back to normal, after being fed the feral elixir (sang by Rafiel), and to return Renning back to normal (after being given the same drug that turns laguz into feral ones) (sang by Reyson). Reyson states (when asked if he can sing the galdr himself) that in times of great calm that it is easier to sing.
The galdr is evidently very similar to the Galdr of Release. Elena learns the latter's tune from the captive heron Lillia, and as they listen to Reyson and Leanne singing to restore the Serenes Forest, Ike and Mist agree that the Galdr of Rebirth is almost the same as their mother's "lullaby."
Lyrics Edit
Endless grief and sorrow. Hearts slumbering again, Stars frozen in their place: Darkness envelopes the land. But in the spilling of blood, a hope still glimmers dim. in a reflection in the water. in a whisper in the wind. Gather your courage. It will break the bonds of night. take wing, and dance upon the sky. take wing, and dance upon the sky.

Naturally, the final controversial call dominated talk in the Indiana locker room on Saturday night, following the Pacers' 114-110 loss to the Utah Jazz at EnergySolutions Arena.
But whether a last-second inbounds pass caromed from behind or off the side of the backboard, there are no do-overs in the NBA. The referees made the call, and Indiana's fate for one evening is sealed.
"We just have to live with the call," Pacers coach Frank Vogel said.
To be sure, the Pacers believe the ball was out, and that they should've been awarded possession down 112-110 with a chance to send things to a second overtime. But a number of sequences put Indiana in a precarious position to start.
"Honestly, we should've never let it get that far," George Hill said.
There was the inability to secure a defensive rebound on a possession that gave Utah multiple chances to score. There was Al Jefferson scoring on Roy Hibbert in the post on seemingly every touch. There was Lance Stephenson, a starting shooting guard, contributing exactly zero points and four turnovers in 24 minutes. There was the Jazz winning this game on hustle.
And yet, the Pacers were still in it, and vehemently argued they should've been awarded the ball on the one play that could've erased it all.
"My interpretation is that the referees can review the call if the ball goes out of bounds," Vogel said. "The question is whether the ball went out of bounds. They didn't call it that way, so it wasn't reviewable. That's my understanding."
The Pacers had climbed as high as third in the Eastern Conference, even challenging New York for the second spot. Indiana is still missing injured starter Danny Granger. They need more out of Hibbert, who did have 14 points and 12 rebounds in 34 minutes.
Even better, Paul George is blossoming into a star. The third-year guard scored 23 points, grabbed five rebounds and handed out four assists. He made shots down the stretch and will be an All-Star for the first time next month.

Midfielder Andy Williams, 32, has spent much of this season on the bench for Real Salt Lake. Through the first two thirds of the season, Williams made just two starts in addition to a dozen or so brief appearances as a substitute. But Williams has been a crucial offensive sparkplug during Salt Lake's run to the playoffs. "He's been playing incredibly. It seems every time he's on the field, he's creating chances for us, and a lot of them are resulting in goals. I don't think there's any accident there," said RSL defender Chris Wingert. "I've been really impressed by his play week in and week out, and he seems to keep doing it. He's a guy we really need to have on the field."
RSL posted a 4-3-2 record in the final nine games of the season. During that stretch, Williams made five starts, appeared in every game and logged one goal and five assists. "For me,
what was more impressive than some of the outstanding touches and passes he had was the defensive work he did, and he shows he's capable of that," RSL coach Jason
Kreis said after the season finale victory over Colorado. "When he does that, it's huge for the team. I always know the touches are going to be there, it's always a question of if he's going
to be committed to defending."
With his late season display of skill and desire, Williams is proving he still has plenty of juice left in the tank as a productive midfielder in
Major League Soccer. He aims to parlay that success into having RSL pick up the option year on his contract after this season. But Williams says he's not worried about next season yet. "Especially
with me, you always have to keep your options open. We have an expansion draft next year and anything's possible," said Williams. "The team is looking to improve next year. For me, I'm always trying
to do my best no matter what, in case of the worst-case scenario."
