NTIA Thumbs Down LightSquared; FCC Concurs
"We conclude that LightSquared's proposed mobile broadband network will impact GPS services and that there is no practical way to mitigate the potential interference at this time." These words from Lawrence Strickling (right), U.S. assistant secretary for communications and information and head of the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), appear to signal the end of LightSquared's run.
Strickling's letter to Federal Communications Commission (FCC) chairman Julius Genachowski appeared in public on February 14. Later that same day, FCC spokesperson Tammy Sun released a statement from that agency that "the Commission will not lift the prohibition on LightSquared," and that it plans to "vacate the Conditional Waiver Order, and suspend indefinitely LightSquared's Ancillary Terrestrial Component authority."
Together, the NTIA and the FCC share responsibility for controlling U.S. radio spectrum use and making band allocations. The FCC supposedly has final authority in these matters, although the NTIA, representing government interests, may swing the bigger cat in the room. LightSquared's inability to satisfy the requirements of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), coupled with unremitting frowning and glowering from the Department of Defense, may have been the deciding factors — more so than the uproar among most GPS manufacturers. The FAA and the U.S. military, two key government entities with widely fielded GPS equipment and applications, constituted the backbone that the NTIA finally showed, although the military has been, with one notable exception, silent on the issue, and indeed is not mentioned in the NTIA letter.
Strickling's eight-page NTIA letter recaps the background of our story, with a July 6, 2011 early climax: "The test results demonstrated that LightSquared's then-panned deployment of terrestrial operations posed a significant potential for harmful interference to GPS services." He continues with the history of the further NTIA testing of cellular GPS receivers, joint continued analysis by FAA and LightSquared of impact on aviation receivers, and testing of general/personal navigation GPS receivers by the Executive Steering Group of the Interagency National Executive Committee for Space-Based Positioning, Navigation, and Timing (EXCOM).
Strickling quotes a January 13 letter to him from Ashton Carter, U.S. deputy secretary for defense, and John Porcari, deputy secretary for transportation:
"It is the unanimous conclusion of the test findings by the EXCOM agencies that both LighSquared's original and modified plans for its proposed mobile network would cause harmful interference to many GPS receivers. Additionally, an analysis by the FAA has concluded that the LighSquared proposals are not compatible with severl GPS-dependent aircraft safety-of-flight systems. Based upon this testing and analysis, there appear to be no practical solutions or mitigations that would permit the LightSquared broadband service, as prosposed, to operate in the next few months or years without significantly interfering with GPS. As a result, no additional testing is warranted at this time."
But wait, we're not done yet. Strickling calls for GPS receiver standards to be developed, citing the EXCOM's decision that "federal agencies will move forward this year to develop and establish new GPS spectrum interference standards that will help inform future proposals for non-space commercial uses in the bands adjacent to the GPS signals."
The FCC, in its concurrence statement to the NTIA letter, actually begins by reciting the mantras of "economic growth, job creation, and to promote competition . . . freeing up spectrum for mobile broadband," and only graduallyl works its way around to its decision. This signals an ongoing, solid commitment to make further sallies in this area.

He Makes £1 Million EVERY MONTH on Instagram!
If you haven't heard of Joe Wicks, then well, where have you been? A fitness guru and Instagram hit, it has recently been revealed that Wicks makes £1 million EVERY MONTH just from his Instagram account!
Known as The Body Coach, Wicks has a fitness program called 'Lean in 15' that has a huge following and has also released several best-selling cookbooks.
Hold tight for these tasty Singapore Noodles from my #Leanin15 book. This a great post-workout meal ? Double tap if this a bit of you ???? #Leanin15 #health #fitness #nutrition #instagood #fitspiration #foodporn #foodie #food #foodphotography #foodpics #lunch #exercise #Singapore #Noodles ?: @maja.smend.photo
He recently said that seeing the changes people make and hearing their stories is what keeps him motivated.
But we're pretty sure the £1 million doesn't hurt, either.
His method is based on his '15 minute' factor – that all the healthy meals he shares can be cooked in 15 minutes.
It wasn't instant fame for Wicks, however. He said that years ago he had about 4 followers and was consistently putting out free content. "I just wanted to help people."
Once he discovered how to monetize his Instagram account however, his content became his business – a huge business. "Our turnover now is over a million pounds a month and when you say it out loud like that, it sounds ridiculous." Yes, ridiculous. Or freakin' amazing!!
He says that his success comes from the fact that 500 people are signing up for his plan everyday on average, so the business keeps growing. He also says that the reason for his success is because he never set out to make money in the first place – it wasn't his goal.
The new issue of @alphamanmag is out now ? You can download it for free on the App Store here https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/alpha-man-magazine/id1021253083?mt=8 A photo posted by Joe Wicks #Leanin15 (@thebodycoach) on
Well, whether that's true or not, how many of us are about to hop over to Instagram and post one thousand pictures of anything we can think of?
But good on Wicks – he's running a business focused on turning lives around, and has made his own living in the process!

Aspen City Council rejected one proposed idea for transforming parking spaces into outdoor seating and supported another to lower speed limits in the West End to 14 miles per hour in a Tuesday work session on transportation and pedestrian issues.
If council agreed to it, a temporary patio space, called a "parklet," would be installed on top of six parking spots on Hopkins Avenue between Mill and Monarch streets, which is known as "restaurant row," during four summer months. The project would cost between $20,000 and $25,000 and the city would rent out the patio space to restaurants adjacent to it for a fee of about $1.50 per square foot, which would bring in about $1,440 a month in revenue. That rate could be increased, if council determined it is too low, noted Scott Miller, city capital asset director.
Parking director Tim Ware argued against the idea, because of the lost revenue it would mean for the city's transportation department. The parking spots generate about $8,000 from meters during those months, he said.
Brunelleschi's restaurant owner Gilbert Vanderaa also spoke against the idea. By providing subsidized outdoor dining space to only a select number of restaurants, the city would be giving those businesses an unfair advantage, he said. If the city went forward with it, Vanderaa suggested that restaurants bid for the patio space instead of offering a fixed per-square-foot rate.
Mayor Mick Ireland was the only council member open to experimenting with the parklet concept over the summer, noting that the Hyman Avenue mall began as an experiment.
"Why not try it?" Ireland asked. "Maybe it'll spread. ... Cities are not that good at experiments and we ought to be. We ought to be better."
Councilmen Adam Frisch and Torre said they were open to the concept, but they both agreed with Vanderaa's assessment that the parklet, as proposed, would be unfairly favoring certain businesses over others.
"I don't think we need to do this as such a robust experiment," Torre said. He suggested that if the city experimented with a parklet it should only take up one parking space and be moveable.
"I'm all for taking the automobile off the streets downtown … but it's an inequitable application of an experiment," Torre said.
Councilmen Derek Johnson and Steve Skadron agreed with Torre's comments.
"I'm not persuaded that the perceived benefits justify the expenditure," Skadron said.
Meanwhile, council gave the thumbs up to dropping the speed limit in the West End from 25 to 14 mph through the summer in an effort to slow traffic down.
Ireland suggested that the limit be set at an unusual number like 14 or 18 because it would get the attention of drivers.
It will cost the city about $30,000 to replace the 60 speed limit signs in the area.
Vanderaa, who lives in the area and has children, argued for the speed limit reduction due to the number of families living in West End homes. At least two neighborhood dogs in the past two years have been killed by cars, he said. It's a matter of time before a child gets hit, Vanderaa said.
Richard Pryor, Aspen chief of police, said that the average speed of drivers in the area is already well below the speed limit. Most drivers go about 17 mph in the West End, based on a speed study done in November. It seems like people think drivers are going fast in the neighborhood, when in reality it's just their perception, Pryor argued.
Still, council agreed that there should be lower speed limits, because 25 is too high for the neighborhood. Councilman Derek Johnson suggested that all residential neighborhoods in the city have a 14 mph speed limit.
Council decided to wait and see how effective the lower limits are in the West End, before considering a city-wide policy.

text: A Gift That Spans Generations Tweet What year did you graduate? Chances are the cost of attending UC San Diego has increased exponentially since you walked the campus' eucalyptus-lined paths. Over the last two decades, the state of California has decreased its per-student contribution by more than 50 percent. That means that undergraduates are now tasked with paying more than $13,000 each year for tuition and fees, plus living expenses—an increase of nearly 400 percent in just 10 years. Graduate and professional school costs have grown even more. With a gift to scholarships, you can help future generations of students achieve the same outstanding education you received—whether you graduated in 1975 or 2005. Your support is vital to motivated and ambitious students like these. Edward Sommers, Marshall '14 Edward Sommers wants to share his story with others: a tale of a promising foster child who discovered his potential and found his path at UC San Diego. Sommers and his seven siblings were raised by his grandmother in South Central Los Angeles, until circumstances led to his placement in a group home. His future seemed unclear until he enrolled at a local community college, where a professor inspired him to pursue engineering and biology. Today, he is an undergraduate at UC San Diego majoring in nanoengineering, with hopes of someday developing a therapy to eliminate cancer. Sommers is also working to reach out to others with similar struggles by establishing a Big Brother Engineering program to help guide foster youth on their educational journey. The program would facilitate university field trips, assist with college applications and help them find internship and career opportunities. "I want to set an example for others and share my story with a bigger audience—to encourage others never to give up and to realize that they can go far," says Sommers. Sommers is the grateful recipient of the George Parker Memorial Scholarship, which was established to support UC San Diego students who were raised in foster care for three or more years. "I am so thankful," Sommers says. "I believe in never giving up—education is my motivation to enable me to make a difference in the lives of others." Jasmine Varela Mares, Marshall '16 Finishing up her first year at UC San Diego, freshman Jasmine Varela Mares already considers herself a community leader. A graduate of The Preuss School UCSD—a charter middle and high school for motivated, low-income students on the UC San Diego campus—Mares has volunteered with children at the Early Childhood Education Center, interned with a University program that helps those with schizophrenia live independently, and dedicated her time to various community nonprofit groups. She plans to study human development with the goal of helping others. But someone so busy could not have just a singular life goal. With a passion for music—she plays the flute, violin and guitar—Mares also dreams of pursuing a career in the music industry. Mares is the first in her family to attend a university and she is making the most of her time on campus. She has gotten involved with organizations to enhance the student experience including MEChA de UCSD, which focuses on empowering Hispanic and Latino students. In addition, she helped publicize Marshall College's annual student carnival, Marshallpalooza. Mares is also the grateful recipient of the Lytle Endowed Scholarship. "Coming from a low-income family, the scholarship has had a huge impact on my life." says Mares. "Now, I have the ability to focus on my studies and interests, and figure out what I can do in the future that will leave a lasting impact on my community." Karen Levy, School of Medicine '14 Karen Levy is the embodiment of perseverance. As a child, Levy worked every weekend at a local swap meet in Las Vegas with her mother. Still, Levy graduated as her high school's valedictorian at just 16. She then held various jobs—convention model, veterinary technician and personal trainer—and saved enough to obtain her undergraduate degree. She subsequently was accepted to the UC San Diego School of Medicine, where she is pursuing her life's ambition to become a medical doctor. "My unique background facilitated unparalleled opportunities for personal growth that I feel will make me an even stronger physician and mentor," says Levy. Now a third year medical student, Levy volunteers at the UC San Diego Student-Run Free Clinic, which provides primary care to the underserved—work she feels strongly about because she grew up without access to healthcare. Levy also volunteers with inner city children to share her story and assist them in finding resources to help them better their lives. Levy received the Bud Whipple Memorial Scholarship, which honors the life of Albert "Bud" Whipple, a third-year medical student whose life was cut short from a rare heart disorder. The endowment was established by several of Whipple's classmates— including Jim Rice, '77, M.D. '81; Murray Reicher, M.D. '81; Danielle Reicher, '77, M.D. '81; and Frank Longo, '77, M.D. '81, Ph.D. '83. "It is an honor to know that I am following in the footsteps of such a remarkable young man whose story continues to touch the lives of many. I can only hope that my story will someday be as inspiring to future physicians." Jade Griffin, ERC '03, is a writer, and Erika Johnson, Muir '11, is a marketing and communications coordinator in University Communications and Public Affairs at UC San Diego.

Beijing (AFP) Nov 23, 2012
China's economic growth can only continue if the country reforms, said its expected next premier and newly promoted Communist Party number two Li Keqiang, according to state media Friday.
The ruling party's new leaders -- who were installed after a key congress last week and will also assume top government posts in March -- took charge in the face of slowing growth, rising popular discontent and calls for reform.
"Reform and opening is essential to allowing people to enjoy a better life," the China News Service quoted Li as saying while meeting officials overseeing 11 cities and provinces that are test-beds for reforms.
"If we don't do it, then we won't make mistakes, but will bear historic responsibility," he said Wednesday, in some of his first remarks since moving up the hierarchy.
Li focused on social and economic -- rather than political -- development, singling out uneven growth and the rural-urban imbalance as problems, both of which have generated popular resentment.
Strict residency rules needed to be fixed, as did land management and the social service system, he said, without giving specific details.
China's leaders have repeatedly promised reforms.
Li also warned that economic growth was likely to slow from the double digits of past years to around seven percent annually, but added that it would still be possible to achieve a "moderately prosperous" society by 2020.
Analysts say that as vice premier Li has been at the forefront of efforts to pursue more balanced development, although the record has been mixed.
Some say that with no broad power base, he may have trouble effecting major change in the face of the party's consensus-based leadership, vested interests and provinces bent on growth.
The Chinese word for reform is made up of two characters, both meaning change, and the China News Service said: "If there were two characters to summarise Li Keqiang's speech at the conference, they would be reform.
"To describe it in four characters would be, without a doubt: reform, reform. And to describe it in six would be: reform, reform, reform."
China's incoming leaders also face mounting pressure to tackle official corruption, highlighted by Xi Jinping when he took over as the new party chief last week.

You can have a lot of fun with IRS data, if you're into that sort of thing. Martin Sullivan of Tax Analysts is, and he used IRS data to pin down the effective tax rate of dwellers in Leona Helmsley's old place:
Like so many high-profile Manhattan skyscrapers, the Helmsley building has its own zip code. The IRS tabulates individual tax return data by zip code. So we can see how much income tax was reported on individual tax returns that filed from the Helmsley Building. In 2007 there were 130 returns using the building's zip code. The IRS data do not reveal whether these returns were filed by individuals using the building as a primary residence, secondary residence, or as a business address. In any case these are not your typical straphangers. Average adjusted gross income per tax return is $1.17 million.
As is true for most rich people, payroll taxes are small relative to income taxes. In 2007 the social security portion of payroll taxes (12.4 percent rate) was imposed on no more than $97,500 of wage and self-employment income. The Medicare portion (2.9 percent rate) had no limit. For Helmsley filers estimated payroll taxes added only 1 percentage point to their effective tax rate. Combined income and payroll tax liability tax for this privileged group was only 14.7 percent of AGI.
At Forbes.com, Janet Novack isn't surprised by the "low" rate:
The rich folks' low tax rate shouldn't come as too big a surprise. As I pointed out here, because of the historically low 15% rate on long term capital gains (compared to a top tax rate of 35% for ordinary income, like salary) the 400 highest income Americans now pay a lower effective federal income tax rate than the merely well paid. In 2007, the 400 derived two thirds of their average adjusted gross income of $345 million from capital gains and paid an average effective rate of just 16.6%.
The implication is that the "rich" are getting away with murder. Yet this 14.7% number leaves a lot out. First, it's a percentage of "Adjusted Gross Income," before the deduction for state and local taxes. If you live in Manhattan, you pay a lot of that.
Second, it leaves out the amount that's already been taxed elsewhere. The low effective rate is the result of the 15% top rate on dividends and capital gains. The dividends are distributions of income that has already been taxed at a 35% top rate, so you can quickly get to over a 40% combined rate on that income, once corporate taxes are counted.
Capital gains are also deceptive. To the extent they result from the sale of stock, part of that is accumulated income that has been taxed at the corporate level. If the asset has been held for a long time, a big chunk of that taxable gain results from inflation -- in other words, from no real gain at all.
Once all taxes and inflation are factored in, the effective rate is a lot higher than 14.7%.
Taxing the heck out of the top 400 taxpayers won't help the bottom 20 million

Dont forget that of all three main sources of federal tax revenue, (payroll, individual income , corporate) about 43 percent is from individual tax revenue, another 43 percent is from payroll tax and the rest is from corporate tax. yes the wealthiest pay the most of the individual income tax but the payroll tax makes up just as much money in revenue as the individual income tax revenue. It used to not be that way. the amount of revenue from payroll has increased while corporate tax has decreased. in fact since around 1965 the amount of revenue from payroll was a bigger source than the corporate tax. I think big companies factor in the cost of an employee in terms of how much it will cost them in tax before the hire and prob consider that in how much they will give the person in salary. also the employer payroll tax is a deduction from income for calculating tax liability. Plus the corporation may not get a preferential tax rate for dividends from investing in other companies but they do get a dividend received deduction to help lower the revenue from that dividend for income tax. As you know social security has a low cap at about 100k and so most of the payroll tax will fall on the 80 percent of the tax payers. Thats why the janitor pays almost the same percentage as the wealthy because they wealthy are not taxed on all their wages only up to 100k. you can read the sources of federal tax revenue from the senate joint committee on taxation. Also dont forget that qualified dividends also got the preferential tax treatment as well. So you dont have to sell your stocks to get a capital gains rate. Utilities usually pay dividends as they are not growth stocks. How many americans making middle class earnings can really afford to invest in the stock market and send kids to school and make enough from the stock market to live well.

April 5, 2012 - Global m-payment transactions are expected to grow 97% per year, over the next three years, reaching a value of £591 billion by 2015, according to forecasts by KPMG. According to the report, growth will be fuelled by consumer demand for NFC-enabled devices that are 'always on, always fast and always accessible'.
David Hodgkinson, senior manager in KPMG's customer and channel consulting team, comments: "Today premium SMS dominates mobile payments, but by tomorrow contactless and cloud-based services will dominate, with an expected market share for contactless of 37% by 2015."
Acceptance of m-commerce as an alternative to cash or credit card payments owes as much to the expansion of the smartphone marketplace, as it does to retailers recognising the need to adapt, he says.
According to KPMG's report, smartphone shipments accounted for 29% of all mobile phone sales in 2011 - almost double the figure sold in 2009.
Sales are set to further accelerate with NFC in the mix. A recent report by Swedish research house Berg Insight, found that global sales of NFC-enabled handsets increased ten-fold in 2011 to 30 million units, with shipments forecast to reach 700 million by 2016.

Children thirst for adventure. They love the outside where their imaginations can run wild. What it boils down to is that children love exposure to new experiences. It opens their mind and broadens their horizons. But most children in the UK are stuck in an urban setting. The population of Britain continues to grow and the city keeps on expanding. There is a place that is just a drive away from London that offers abundant space, as well as mind-expanding experiences for children.
Wiltshire County holds all sorts of events that a whole family can enjoy. The Ageas Salisbury International Arts Festival draws some of the best artists from around the world. It is an eclectic array of art experience where you and your children can take in classical music, international theatre, dance, film and visual arts. If that doesn't strike your child's fancy, then there are always the children's events. You can count on face painting and games that will keep them entertained in a rural setting.
There is always the Swindon Festival of Literature and Chippenham Folk Festival taking place in the spring time. This is when the trees come back to life and Wiltshire County's garden bloom magnificently. Children may not be keen on a literature experience or folk music, but you can use the festivals as an excuse to escape the city. Join the many that enjoy the festival and then take your children to something a little more spectacular, like a race at Salisbury Racecourse or the Castle Combe Circuit.
But all children love trains, and Wiltshire County holds an annual Swindon Railway Festival. Antique trains pull into to town and festival goers can board these powerful pieces of artwork. The children will love when the trains toot their horns coming into town.
Festivals draw a lot of people who demand a hotel near Swindon, the vibrant town in the middle of Wiltshire County that hosts many of these festivals. It is a good idea to get a hotel early, before they run out.

1. Re: DRCP and JDBC24208 Feb 19, 2009 12:08 AM (in response to 684074)Hi Scott,
I'm not a Java person so I could be (way) off base here.
Anyway, I found this sample:
which looks to be using database resident connection pooling and jdbc.
As noted in the above link, that technique is an extension of Arup's article here:
Perhaps something in there will be helpful.
2. Re: DRCP and JDBC684074 Feb 19, 2009 1:40 PM (in response to 24208)Hi Mark, thanks for the help. I actually wound up opening a TAR and just got word Tuesday that the proper OCI hooks aren't exposed through the JDBC driver to take advantage of DRCP. The example you showed was one that I had looked at as well. It is true, as this example shows, that you can connect, but it effectively works like a regular connection with out connection pooling since the network connection to the server to closed each time you close the database connection.
3. Re: DRCP and JDBC24208 Feb 19, 2009 1:48 PM (in response to 684074)Hi Scott,
I was afraid of something like that. Well, anyway, at least you have a more definitive answer as to the current situation.
4. Re: DRCP and JDBCandy dufresne Mar 8, 2011 1:49 PM (in response to 24208)I am trying the same usecase - DRCP and OCI JDBC driver. From the V$CPOOL_STATS view I could see even after DRCP in enabled it behaves as a dedicated server. The value in NUM_MISSES column is the same as the number of connection requests made.
The OCI JDBC driver version I am using is 18.104.22.168.0. I could not find any oracle documentation link which would mention that the JDBC OCI driver does not support this (even if OCI supports. I was looking for a link just be sure that I am not missing anything in the configuration).
Thanks in advance.
5. Re: DRCP and JDBCKmohan-Oracle Mar 24, 2011 9:22 AM (in response to andy dufresne)The JDBC driver has not yet fully exposed the DRCP functionality.
6. Re: DRCP and JDBCandy dufresne Apr 4, 2011 4:56 AM (in response to Kmohan-Oracle)Can anyone share an official link which states that the OCI JDBC driver does not support DRCP? The official readme document also does not mention anything about this issue.
7. Re: DRCP and JDBCKmohan-Oracle Apr 5, 2011 4:54 AM (in response to andy dufresne)Hi, please see the 11g New Features guide, which mentions the addition of DRCP feature and the Oracle drivers which can be used to leverage this feature. (OCI & OCCI)
Open source drivers like PHP, Perl, Python also have exposed this feature. Oracle JDBC driver is yet to expose this fully. Using a JDBC client, and the connect string with (SERVER=POOLED), you can connect to a DRCP pooled server, but you do not have interfaces to share and reuse the pooled servers across multiple clients.
8. Re: DRCP and JDBCandy dufresne Apr 6, 2011 2:34 AM (in response to Kmohan-Oracle)Ok. Do you mean that since DRCP is a new feature introduced in 11g, Oracle JDBC Driver would take sometime to add a support for this functionality and hence there is no bug or issue logged to track this? I was just looking for some link that officially stated that currently Oracle JDBC Driver does not support this or some link which atleast stated that it would be supported in future version of the driver.
Thank you.
Edited by: table1 on Apr 5, 2011 7:34 PM
9. Re: DRCP and JDBCKmohan-Oracle Apr 6, 2011 8:04 AM (in response to andy dufresne)That's right. It will be documented when JDBC exposes it.
10. Re: DRCP and JDBCTimHall Apr 5, 2012 8:58 AM (in response to Kmohan-Oracle)Hi.
Sorry for the late addition to this thread, which answered my question.
I checked on MOS for an official statement and I came up with this.
Thanks for the answer.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
Penalties and fines are generally not tax deductible. However restitution payments or disgorgement of profits have been deductible expenses in settlements with state and federal regulators. So as long as the Court judgement is clear that the payment is in the nature of restitution and not fines and penalties, these payments would be deductible in the ordinary course of business or as capital expenditure if capital in nature.

A157 road
|This article does not cite any sources. (September 2009) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
|Route information
|26 mi (42 km)
|Road network
The A157 is an A-road in Lincolnshire, England. It runs between Wragby and Maltby le Marsh and is single carriageway for its entire length (approximately 26 miles (42 km)).
Route (Wragby to Maltby-le-Marsh)[edit]
The route starts in Wragby, at the junction of the A158 Lincoln to Skegness road (53°17′15″N 0°18′04″W / 53.2875°N 0.3011°W). It passes through the villages of West Barkwith, East Barkwith, Hainton, Burgh-on-Bain and Welton le Wold, to a junction with the A16 Louth bypass.
The route then either disappears or runs with the A16 along the bypass southwards to Kenwick Top and the junction with the B1502. At that point, the A16 continues south towards Boston, and the A157 continues east, past the entrance to Kenwick Park. At the next roundabout (the junction with B1200 Louth to Saltfleetby road) the route heads southeasterly, passing through Legbourne, North Reston, South Reston and Withern, before ending in Maltby le Marsh at the junction with the A1104 Ulceby Cross to Mablethorpe road (53°18′34″N 0°11′49″E / 53.3094°N 0.1970°E).
Old routes[edit]
The Newnes 1927 atlas shows the A157 as starting in Lincoln, and taking the course of what is now the A158 to Wragby, before terminating at Louth. The present course from Louth to Maltby is listed as being the B1196.
Until the opening of the Louth bypass in 1991, the A157 went through the centre of Louth, along the current route of the B1200 (Westgate, Edward Street, South Street, Newmarket and Legbourne Road.)
Between Hainton and Burgh-on-Bain, the road passes close by the Belmont transmitter, the tallest structure in the European Union.

Cairo (AFP) Jan 4, 2013
Egyptian security forces have seized US-made anti-tank and surface-to-air missiles destined for Gaza, where militants have said they would acquire more weapons to use against Israel, security officials said on Friday.
The officials said six missiles were found hidden in the Sinai, which borders both the Gaza Strip and Israel, after security forces were tipped off to the hiding place.
Sinai, a scarcely populated peninsula home to both lucrative tourist resorts in the south and shadowy Islamist militants in the north, is a major transit point for arms smuggling to Gaza.
The Islamist Hamas rulers of the Palestinian enclave had said they would continue to acquire weapons after agreeing an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire with Israel in November that ended an eight-day conflict.
The militants have acknowledged receiving missiles from Israel's arch-foe Iran, and are thought to have improved their arsenal with smuggled weapons from Libya, which borders Egypt to the west.
Egypt has sought to crack down on smugglers' tunnels to Gaza, with limited success.

Christchurch the engine room of NZ as rebuild steps up
Christchurch the engine room of NZ as rebuild steps up, UC lecturer says
February 22, 2013
An increasingly vibrant Christchurch has become the engine room of New Zealand as the recovery and rebuild steps up, University of Canterbury (UC) natural hazards expert Dr Tom Wilson said today
``We are in a situation now of a lot more certainty. We have not had a damaging earthquake for 14 months. We have not had to revert back to response mode for a long time and there's a feeling of pioneering about Christchurch. There is a positive feeling in the mood and atmosphere as we begin to be a large driver of the economy.
``As things have settled, we have had much more certainty for the recovery cycle to manifest. We have had more key decisions about the CBD moving forward. Building in resilience to our plans has been the key.
``From a geo-tech land use and planning perspective we now know in the suburbs what areas we are re-inhabiting and what areas will be retired. This is so important to everyone. This is the first big year of the rebuild after mostly nothing but demolition for the last two years so we have a great forward - looking perspective.''
Dr Wilson said from a scientific perspective there was a huge amount of learning from the earthquakes, what happened and how it affected people. Christchurch is a laboratory of learning as Christchurch recovers.
There was substantial interest worldwide in not only how Christchurch recovered but also lessons to be learned and passed on to other cities.
``At UC we are providing research for many places overseas especially California and Japan. I know UC researchers Associate Professor John Vargo and Dr Erica Seville have put out a study report on Sydney's water and how they could cope in a major event.
``It's a fantastic time to look at the lessons of Christchurch. Wellington earthquake planners are looking very closely at Christchurch, to use lessons to increase Wellington's performance.
``I think there is an increasing focus and awareness of the consequences, rather than just when a Wellington earthquake might occur and how big it might be.
``For Christchurch there is a growing optimism, as certainty is returning and progress is more and more evident,'' Dr Wilson said.

The consortium, comprising some existing Charter Hall funds and external groups, mainly local superannuation funds, is looking to buy the tower from receivers KordaMentha.
It beat off stiff competition from the likes of
The move comes as the group continues to expand its $10 billion property funds management business. The group has drawn local and offshore capital partners to back a series of asset plays by its funds. Moves have included a $400 million industrial property partnership, portfolios of Bunnings Warehouse and Woolworths properties and, most comparably, Brisbane Square, bought in a 50:50 joint venture with Telstra Super.
That property was acquired for $300 million in late 2010 and shares some characteristics with Raine Square, although not the Perth project's controversial history.
Raine Square includes a 22-level 44,000-square-metre office tower leased to Bankwest and one of the CBD's largest retail centres. The deal would be at a lower rate per square metre than recent deals over stakes in Exchange Plaza and QV1, and the buyer could benefit as rents revert to market levels. Charter Hall, KordaMentha, and agents CBRE and Jones Lang LaSalle declined to comment.

EMU management expert at book signing Feb. 19
YPSILANTI - Eastern Michigan University professor Gregory E. Huszczo, a management expert and author, will discuss X-factor leadership and sign his latest book, "Tools for Team Leadership: Delivering the X-Factor in Team Excellence," Saturday, Feb. 19, 2-4 p.m., at Barnes and Noble Bookstore, 3235 Washtenaw, Ann Arbor.
Huszczo's book, published by Davies-Black Publishing of Palo Alto, Calif., is a practical guide that offers more than 80 new and field-tested tools for managers, trainers, consultants and team members struggling to help their teams succeed.
"In today's competitive environment, everyone is under pressure to succeed. It's important to understand the key components that separate the excellent organizational teams from the mediocre ones," said Huszczo. "By using specific tools, a team can learn to diagnose its strengths and weaknesses, help establish a clear sense of direction, improve communications and ensure systematic problem-solving and decision-making."
Topics covered in the book include: the need for team leaders at all levels; natural leadership strengths; effective teambuilding; knowing why a team exists; communication; problem-solving and decision-making; conflict resolution; motivating and coaching teams to success; leaders as ambassadors of team-based change efforts; motivating and reviving teams; and helping a team of leaders.
Huszczo received acclaim for his previous book, "Tools for Team Excellence: Getting Your Team Into High Gear and Keeping It There," published by Davies-Black Publishing of Palo Alto, Calif.
The book was the selection for the Book of the Month Club International, Executive Program Book Club and Fast Track Audio Book Club.
A professor of organizational behavior and development in EMU's Department of Management, Huszczo is an award-winning teacher, researcher, and an industrial/organizational psychologist with more than 30 years of experience.

An efficient way to give listeners a smooth and fast updates.
Shows last ten played songs on every stream.
Supports multiple streams from one Shoutcast2 server in mp3 format.
Why not?
Why letting every client do numerous of ajax requests to a php-server or even worse to the radio server directly when we can collect analyze send it if there are any changes?
The difference is big. By default s2c check for changes every 5 seconds. That's one connection per stream every 5 seconds. With websockets the server and client have one connection and transmission only on changes. S2c uses socket.io so we have a litle more communication (approximately every 20 seconds). But this is still over websocket where available so still only one connection. Doing the same with a php server would take the same one connection every 5 seconds between servers. AND. All clients have to ask the php server for changes at the same rate, 5 seconds. If we calculate that an average song is 4 minutes thats 48 connections per client.
Using a node.js server we have some great advantages.
Nodejs is excellent in handling many small connections and with the plug-in socket.io we have a solution to communicate in real-time with all listeners.
S2c retrieves xml information from a shoutcast2 server when there are clients connected. This information is parsed to json so we have a way to handle it efficiently. If the information differs from the one retreived last time we send it to all connected clients. S2c sends all information every time so we can use less code on the client, it only have to show what it gets.
S2c needs a couple of basic things.
Install s2c_server with the npm tool
npm install s2c_server -g
(-g means its installed globally)
Then make a local copy of the servercode used to send information to jwplayer plugin. Go to any suitable folder and
wget https://raw.github.com/DennisHalmstad/s2c/master/server/s2cToJw.js
Open s2cToJw.js in any suitable editor find row 32.
Enter what port u want node.js to listen at.
On the next row
s2c.init('http://localhost', '8000', 'YourPasswordHere', 5000, false, false);
enter ur shoutcast settings. (adress, port and password). Save and close the file
Run the server
node s2cToJw
The s2c contains a jwplayer plugin. This has some dependencies. first u need the actual player. download it from longtailvideo.com The free and open-source version is enough. Upload it to a suitable folder. typicliy www/jwplayer/
Second we need jQuery. The provided example use
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.9.1/jquery.min.js">
If u have a own copy it works asgood.
Third we ned the j2c plugin. it contains of two files. One js file and on css file. typicaly downloaded to www/js/ and www/css/.
Both are needed but if u use bootstrap from twitter u might want to remove the last part of the css since its built to be able to drop in to an Twitter bootstrap page without any extra work. Like so css without bootstrap parts
Now u can start putting Ur page together. Here is an example of a page with only a player in it. Example
As shown in the example the usage of the jwplayer plug-in is very simple
if (jQuery && jwplayer) {
width: '600',
height: '460',
file: "music/Pitx_-_Hidden_Blues.mp3",
primary: "flash",
plugins: {
"js/s2c_client.js": {
server: 'http://serveraddress',
port: '1337'
Make ur changes to server-address and port. Then u should be ready to go. Good luck.
I'm not associated with any of the companies, software or libraries named. All of them are copyrighted by their owners. Please visit respectively and review their tou and license.
S2c and all parts of it including but not excluding other parts, server, client, plug-in for jwplayer and these pages are licensed under GPL-3.0. This means in short (revise full text for more information) that u can "commercially use this code", "modify", "distribute" and place "warranty" on it. But u cant "sub-license" or hold author "liable". U also have to "include original or link to original" software, "state changes" and "disclose Ur source". This license don't extend or alter licenses for other peoples work.
My goal is to make it easy for the listeners to use the player. This is why i prefer flash. Since the html5 audio tag is dependent on the browser to suport our format we are limited to some browsers. As of today there is no format that is suported in all browsers. However if the browser has flash installed it suports mp3.
Since we are using a flash-player its recommended that streams has a sample-rate accepted by flash, more info on Wikipedia.

Farhan Akhtar has an illustrious background. Being the son of lyricist, writer Javed Akhtar and Honey Irani, was quite a pressure for the star kid who has made his parents prouder with every work he did.
His directorial venture, Dil Chahta Hai bagged him a National Award and was pathbreaking movie in terms of freshness of both script and characters, breaking shackles of regular Bollywood movies. He first acted in his home production, Rock On and also sang many songs for the film. With that, he also became a popular music icon with the youth. His next movies, Zindagi Milegi Na Dobara and Don 1 and 2 both furthered his career by creating new dimensions for him and set better records.
Farhan has always kept himself away from controversy and has maintained himself as strictly family guy who likes to spend his spare time with wife Adhuna, sister Zoya and his children. At his birthday bash today, the entire Bollywood was seen at his house. SRK, Arjun Rampal, Priyanka Chopra, Arbaaz Khan, Katrina Kaif, Karan Johar were few of the many who were spotted at his birthday party. Here's Bollygraph wishing Farhan Akhtar a very Happy 38th birthday.

JANUARY sees the return of one of Ireland's finest female singer/songwriters to Kendal's Bootleggers.
Dublin-born Eleanor McEvoy started playing piano at the age of four and went on to compose the title track of the best-selling Irish album of all time.
After a childhood spent playing the piano, violin and performing on stage with her older siblings, Eleanor studied music at Trinity College, Dublin and spent four months busking in New York City before playing for four years with Ireland's National Symphony Orchestra (NSO).
While touring with Irish diva Mary Black's band, she performed a self –penned song called 'Only a Woman's Heart' during a solo performance.
Mary was in the audience and invited her to use the track as the lead song on an album of Irish female performers she was putting together.
The album, 'A Woman's Heart', went on to sell three quarters of a million copies in Ireland and remains the biggest selling Irish album in the home market.
Her second big break came almost simultaneously, as Tom Zutaut of Geffen Records (responsible for signing Guns N Roses and Motley Crue) heard Eleanor in a Dublin pub and offered her a worldwide recording deal.
While recording her second album, 'What's Following Me?', Eleanor was attacked while walking home from a London studio, leaving her traumatised and with a damaged hand.
The change in musical style to a louder, rockier sound was not what Columbia – her label at the time – had in mind and they let her go despite rave reviews for her third album 'Snapshots'.
Refusing to give up, Eleanor went down the independent route and recorded 'Yola' – a more thoughtful, tranquil album which was named Record of the Year by Hi-Fi Magazine in 2002.
Eleanor's 10th studio album, 'If You Leave', was released in May this year – inspired by 60s albums from the Beatles and the Beach Boys, it showcases a retro, bluesier style.
Eleanor McEvoy plays at Bootleggers, Kendal on January 30.

See Online Help Better
Have you ever found yourself squinting to read the topics in the MS Office Suite online help?
I don't mean the Office Assistant list of ideas, but the actual help windows with all the information. (The one that comes up once you've selected a topic.)
If the answer is yes, then my next question is: would you like a way to alleviate the squinting problems?
Yeah—I thought some of you might—so let's take a look at the options.
If you're working with Office 97 you'll find your help in the Options menu.
Once you have the information window open, click on the Options button. A list of items will open—you're looking for the Font choice.
In the Font submenu you'll have the choice of Small, Normal or Large. Click on the Large choice and see if that might help you with your problems.
(You could also right click anywhere in the window and the menu that pops up will contain a Font choice. From there you'll get the same three options of Small, Normal and Large.)
Now let's move to people with a newer version of the MS Office Suite.
There's no font button here—but—if you have a wheel mouse then you're all set anyway.
Once the information is on the screen hold down the Ctrl key and spin the mouse wheel.
One way the spinning will increase the font size and the other will decrease it.

Above all,a smart pair of sunglasses at an excellent price.

I really wanted polarised but didn't appreciate the ˇę170 price tag. I was anxious about buying as typically online fakes are ubiquitous, but I took a risk and it definitely backfired. However quick delivery was and well packaged the product was. It doesn't make up for the quality. Initially the weight of the unopened package made me question my purchase. Secondly, the silver box appeared to be real or a good copy at least, albeit from a lack of serial numbers, compared to aSlovenia shop ray ban kitesurfing holidays .

Great glasses although I've lost three pairs now. The only thing I'd mention is that the hinges get looser over a few months but it doesn't impact performance in any way.
All round great value compared to the many other, perhaps more exotically promoted and packaged cleaning wipes and kits that adorn the market. These work really well. The wipes aren't perhaps quite as moist as others I have used, but they worked really well on a particularly grubby pair of sunglasses - so no complaints. At less than 10p per wipe, you can't ralph lauren trainers damaged and look awesome, just like they do in the image! They also came with a sleek bag to put them in which, to my surprise, feels and looks really nice. The glasses are also a comfortable fit for a person whose head is reasonably wide.
However, If you're looking to use these glasses often and long-term, like me... then invest in something a little more expensive and of better quality.

Nuala O'Faolain
About the Author
Born in Dublin, Ireland, the second eldest of nine children of a journalist who became Ireland's first 'social' columnist—a gentler Walter Winchell or Nigel Dempster—who for years wrote a newspaper Dubliner's Diary about the goings-on around town the night before. This occupation meant he was rarely available to his wife and family, and over time—as touched on in Nuala O'Faolain's autobiographical essay, Are You Somebody?—his wife, Nuala's mother Catherine, became more and more lonely and sunk in alcoholism, and the home and the children became more neglected. The family lived in various cheap rented houses up and down the line of the railway out of Dublin and from time to time, like something out of a fairytale, the glamorous father would descend from a train.
Nuala, aged 14, was a gifted but almost out-of-control girl, sneaking out at night to go to dancehalls with men and women much older than herself. The nuns at her convent school asked her parents to remove her, and in an uncharacteristic burst of attentiveness they found the money and made the arrangements to send her away to boarding-school where she spent the rest of her school years. At this remote, Irish-speaking convent, she began to achieve academic success and to convert the turbulent impulses that had got her into so much trouble at puberty into an intellectual and an emotional life.
At 18 she went to university in Dublin on a coveted entrance scholarship. But the freedom of Dublin city and new interests—love, left-wing politics, drinking—unbalanced her again, and she dropped out of college and had to go to England, to work—like many penniless Irish at the time—at various unskilled jobs. She was saved from this being a permanent fate by the kindness of some older people in Dublin who watched over her and lent her money to pay her fees while trying to complete her degree.
She did this with distinction, and over the next few years also got a scholarship to the University of Hull in England where she read medieval literature; returned to Dublin and got a qualification in French, and an M.A; and finally won a travelling studentship, which she took up at the University of Oxford where, in the late sixties, she got a post-graduate degree—a B.Phil.—mainly in nineteenth-century literature.
Oxford University in the late sixties was still beautiful and unspoiled by tourists, and because of the Beatles and Lucky Jim and Carnaby Street, working-class students, and even plebeian outsiders like the Irish, were in fashion. After three marvellous years it was a difficult transition to return to Dublin to become a lecturer at U.C.D.—not least because of an on-again off-again engagement to an English writer. The next ten years were unsettled by this relationship, which in the end came to nothing.
To be near this man, Nuala O'Faolain moved to London to become a producer with the BBC, making television and radio programmes for the first years of the arts faculty of the Open University. Then she became one of the first team making 'access' programmes for BBC television and then made programmes from Northern Ireland for a BBC Further Education series. This decade was one of constant travel and learning, for a BBC still perfectly self-confident. Nuala O'Faolain also reviewed books for the London Times during this period; was a guest lecturer in Indiana and many other places, was seconded to Teheran for the planning of an Iranian 'open university' in the last year of the Shah's reign, taught occasional evening classes in Morley College, etc.
She began to visit the west of Ireland on holiday and to become, for the first time, interested in the Irish language and Irish traditional music and song and dance, and Irish social history. And the day she realized that the place she liked best in London was London Airport she gave up on England, and returned to Ireland, getting work as a television producer in the current affairs section of Radio Telefis Eireann, and also reviewing and lecturing extensively. When a new university was set up in Dublin she took a year's leave of absence and taught Media Studies. She became one of an all-woman team who made a weekly woman's programme—a first on Irish television—and also made a series with older women, called 'Plain Tales,' where 'ordinary' women told the stories of their extraordinary lives. This won the award for television programme of the year. Soon afterwards, Nuala O'Faolain was invited to become an opinion columnist for The Irish Times—Ireland's leading newspaper. The next year she won the annual award for journalist of the year.
For the last twelve years, she has been with The Irish Times, primarily as a columnist but also writing features from Africa, the United States and all over Europe, and—taking up residence in Belfast for almost a year—from Northern Ireland. She also presented a television books programme, a series of radio interviews, reviewed for magazines and so on.
In 1996 a small Irish publisher brought out a selection of her opinion columns, and she offered to write an introduction to them. The introduction, unexpectedly, and uncalled-for, grew and grew as she wrote it. She wrote it for herself—looking back over a life which had always been difficult and lonely on a personal level, in an attempt to accept that her promise had come to nothing, and that now, in her fifties, she had no accomplishments to show, no partner, no children—no company of friends, even, at times like Christmas—and that she must say goodbye to hope. The book of journalism with his introduction had a very small print run and came out quietly, with no launch, no review copies sent out, no advertising, etc. But when she talked about it on television it became an instant bestseller in Ireland—selling, indeed, so fast that in many bookshops it was sold from boxes, because the staff hadn't time to put it on shelves.
It turned out that the introduction—quickly reprinted as a book in its own right, called Are You Somebody?—sounded some tone which men and women everywhere could respond to. This note sounded even across barriers of age and culture and experience. The autobiographical essay of an obscure Irish journalist eventually spent many weeks on the bestseller list of the New York Times, reached number three in Australia, and did very well in the UK and Germany and Sweden. It didn't change Nuala's private life, but it brought her loving responses from all over the world.
Because of the autobiography's success approaches were made to her for her 'next book.' She protested that she was not a writer of books—that she didn't look on Are You Somebody? as a book, and had no plans at all to write anything else. But gradually, the idea of trying to write a fiction became irresistible. To do this, she took leave of absence from the Irish newspaper, and moved to America where the culture is so much more hospitable than Ireland's to believing that dreams can come true and late attempts succeed. In the nurturing artists' colony of Yaddo she wrote the beginning of a novel about a middle-aged Irishwoman coming to terms with the role of passion in her own life, through a contemplation of a disastrous—real-life—passionate affai

STREAMING: Asphyx "Deathhammer"/
I covered Asphyx in Decibel #89 [Municipal Waste cover] and from that feature, I quickly realized that across Asphyx's impressive, if somewhat under sung, discography, the Dutch outfit has the word 'death' in nearly half of its discography; 3 out of 8, to be more precise. Well, that fact wasn't lost on drummer/songwriter Bob Bagchus, who said: "It's coincidental, but it does fit the music. Maybe our next album will be called Deathdozer... But for this album's title, we were thinking of Deathhammer or Doomhammer. Or do both -- make a death-side and a doom-side. But we choose to only do Deathhammer, and that title covers it all." This isn't a revelatory epiphany by yours truly, but the word 'death' thematically placed in so many album titles could be viewed in a few ways. A) Asphyx really like the word 'death'. No problem there. Metal journalists liked and used the word 'plethora', well, a plethora of times. B) Asphyx lost their pocket thesaurus and Dictionary.com's servers were strategically down at press time. Or C) Asphyx is reinforcing the fact that they're straight up death metal. No ifs ands, or buts. What you hear is what you get. To be honest, we'd think it'd be fun if it was option B), but it's absolutely option C) 'cause in my Decibel #89 feature Bagchus makes no bones about the, uh, plethora of fake death metal out there.
Because you're awesome and you adore Asphyx oh Decibel faithful, we got the full album stream of Deathhammer. That's right. Full album, deathbabies.
** Asphyx's new album, Deathhammer, is out February 28th on Century Media Records. Order it HERE, or face the abyssal bottom of Martin van Drunen's impressive maw. He eats un-supportive people, but you didn't hear that from us.
