Microsoft is one of many companies including Google and Skyhook that keeps a Wi-Fi geolocation database in order to provide location specific information to phones, laptops, tablets, etc. Most of these databases collect the MAC addresses and GPS locations of Wi-Fi access points and store that information to provide information to devices. Recently Google locked down their database after a privacy concern was raised about the information stored. Microsoft is now responding the same way after a researcher raised similar concerns about the information stored in Microsoft's database.
In general, the information in these databases is obtained by Microsoft (or Google) driving vehicles around and noting MAC addresses of Wi-Fi access points and the GPS location of those points. Another way to gather the same data is to have smartphones, which all have GPS capabilities these days, send the MAC address of the access point they are connected to in conjunction with their current GPS location. Cell tower locations can also be sent along with this other data. The goal here is to expand the database. This makes suggestions based on location better for end users.
Previously, the issue with privacy was that both Apple and Google were storing histories of locations the phone has been, right on the device itself. Microsoft very smartly did not do this type of data storage on their Windows 7 phones.
The new issue is that these databases sometimes record the MAC address of a phone itself. This happens when a person is using their phone as a mobile hotspot. In that situation any phone or other devices that connects to that hotspot will transmit the phone's MAC address itself because it is acting as an access point. The issue with that is that until recently the database could be queried. If a phone had been used as a mobil hotspot, its MAC address could be queried and the exact location of that phone could be quickly determined.
This exact thing also happened with Google and after a CNET report on the device MAC addresses was released, Google locked down access to their database. Microsoft has now done the exact same thing, over the same concerns. Microsoft didn't just restrict access to the database, it changed the requirements to get location information. Previously one MAC address was enough to query the database, now you need two adjacent addresses. If you aren't in an area that can provide that information, you are out of luck in terms of gaining location based information.
Locking down the database seems like the right move, but it does become a bummer for laptops without GPS chips. Those devices are essentially going to be unable to get location based information now unless there are two access points nearby. The real question here is exactly how big of an issue is this? What percentage of smart phone users are using their phones as mobile access points? That would answer what percentage of people are exposing their MAC address to outside queries. Also, the MAC address for a specific phone is a difficult piece of information to find just for the sake of stalking.
Do you think Microsoft and Google have made the right call on restricting access to these databases? Let us know in the comments.

Lithe Passport. 61 days. 40 classes. My trip has already begun.
Hot Legs
What you need: Yourself, no gloves necessary
Props: Gam Gear (stretchy, knit thigh-high tights)
Clothing Considerations: Cropped pants, makes pulling the tights up over your legs much easier than flowy yoga pants. (I wouldn't wear shorts. Your legs might be sweaty and itchy if there's no barrier between you and the tights.)
Sweat Factor: Get ready to glisten!
If you were to walk into a Hot Legs class in progress, you might think you stepped into a scene from Black Swan* (minus the making out with Mila Kunis). You'd see a room full of girls, wearing uniform tights, standing with one hand at the barre, lifting their legs in unison into the center of the room. You might even hear Krista yelling ATTACK IT! ATTACK IT! like the crazed French instructor that tortures the dancers (again, minus the weird making out).
I know I felt like I was in a warped, yet graceful ballet lesson. The entire 60 minutes is spent at the barre (yes, that's right; no mat action here), and as such I definitely started hallucinating half way through the class. No wonder Natalie Portman's character goes crazy! Barre work is HARD! After just an hour of leg lifts, lunges, FOSW and tucking and squeezing, I'm pretty sure my reflection turned around and gave me (and Krista) an evil glare.
You can expect to do any and everything you've ever done at the barre in this class. It ain't called Hot Legs for nothin! The Gams Gear is pretty stretchy (if they fit over my thighs, they'll fit over your calves), and keeps your legs warm and pulled tight as you take them to the limit. Although, tucking and squeezing was a bit tough for me, as my feet were slipping in the socks.
This class is definitely a challenge. At one point, during a ridiculous push up series (it's like no other push up I've ever done), I definitely thought I saw feathers poking their way out of my skin. I'm pretty sure losing your mind a little bit means you're getting an amazing workout!
If you've never seen Black Swan, this was probably completely useless to you. I apologize. But, you should see it. It's entertaining. Then take Hot Legs. You'll see what I mean.
What you need: Gloves!
Props: Lithe's Higher Power Band System
Clothing Considerations: Whatever you're comfortable in
Sweat Factor: Time to get your shine on!
I think Waspie is the Beatles of Lithe classes. Everybody likes it! No matter what age or shape or fitness level, I consistently hear people in the locker room talking about how much they LOVE Waspie.
This doesn't come as a surprise to me since it feels like a little bit of Cinch, a little bit of Twiggy and a lot of results! For the first half of the class, you concentrate on the upper body with waist defining moves and rotations. The second half of the class, you focus more on your lower body doing curtsies and several gravity defying moves on one leg that take time to master. And of course the bands ensure that the rest of your body is engaged, regardless of what is being specifically targeted during a series.
Here's a tip: Really listen to your instructor's cues. Breathing is key in Waspie. Some moves may not initially strike you as super challenging, but if you truly focus on your Lithe breath, you'll feel the difference and get a deep ab/waist workout.
I have to say that since I've been going to Waspie on Friday afternoons, I can see definition in my midsection that I've never had before. It's a must-take class for anyone looking flatten their tummies. You'll twist. The instructors will shout. And you'll walk away feeling like you definitely worked it on out! (worked it on out!)
6 stops down...only 34 to go. Next up? Stems and Walk Star!
See you in class!

If the Sharks are inclined to move Thornton, he must sign off on the destination. Toronto has been rumoured as a possible landing place, though why the Maple Leafs would want to go older at this stage of their development is a mystery. You have the sense that Maple Leafs GM David Nonis would happily move two of his youngsters, Nazem Kadri and Jake Gardiner, in the right deal, but is adding Thornton the right move? Maybe not.
If Thornton determines the Sharks want him out, then Anaheim – straight down the coast, still in California, where he really enjoys the life – might be the most palatable destination.
But logically, that's a harder deal for the Ducks to make – adding a pricey older player from a divisional rival, that hasn't won enough in the playoffs to suit his current employer.
One way or another though, Anaheim figures to make a splash this summer – equipped with the will to make changes, and enough quality prospects in the pipeline to make a blockbuster happen.
RICHARDS VERSUS RICHARDS: If there was a common thread anywhere on media day linking the two participating teams at the Stanley Cup final, it was probably the discussion over Mike vs. Brad Richards (no relation, other than the fact that both are candidates for compliance buyouts once the Stanley Cup playoffs end).
The Kings have had a funny time of it in their 2012 and 2014 runs to the final. In 2012, they faced the New Jersey Devils and Ilya Kovalchuk, a player they'd bid on in the summer of 2010, but failed to sign. It was the same the following July.
On the opening day of free agency, TSN famously showed a shot of Kings' president Tim Leiweke, trying to get in the doors of the Newport Sports so they could present their contract offer for Richards's services face-to-face, in the hopes that would enhance their chances.
In the end, Richards opted to go with the Rangers instead. Eventually, the money that otherwise would have been allocated to Kovalchuk and Brad Richards was handed to Mike Richards and Jeff Carter. What is it they say? Sometimes, the best moves are the ones that don't pan out.
Rangers' general manager Glen Sather declined to speculate about Brad Richards's future at his press conference last week, but if they were absolutely certain they were retaining him, it would have been a simple matter to say that.
Instead, Sather hedged – and the reason likely is that even if Richards has had a major bounce back season in New York, there is still too much money and term left on that nine-year, $60-million contract to keep him around. Financially, it doesn't make any sense. Even if the first $31-million have already been paid out, the average annualized value of the deal is $6.667-million for another six years – just not cost effective under the new collective bargaining agreement.
When asked about it last week, Richards said he was putting the future on hold so he could concentrate on the task at hand, and helping the Rangers win the Stanley Cup. In the absence of the traded Ryan Callahan, he is acting as the de facto captain.
"It's not the right time to even think about it," said Richards. "It would hurt my game and it would hurt the team if I was worrying about it so I haven't really thought about it."
In the case of Mike Richards, Kings general manager Dean Lombardi did a good job managing his salary cap again this year, eventually losing enough players off his roster – Daniel Carcillo, Ben Scrivens and Matt Frattin were traded; Keaton Ellerby waived; and Colin Fraser demoted – to make the dollars work. It was a tightrope walk – and it only worked because the Columbus Blue Jackets absorbed half of Marian Gaborik's prorated $7.5-million salary at the trading deadline, but this is way of the NHL world in 2014.Report Typo/Error

Close on the heels of the French government's intervention in the Haldia Bulk Terminals (HBT) fiasco, the Union shipping ministry has got into action on the matter. A three-member fact-finding team has arrived in Kolkata and will meet port officials and executives of HBT to assess and inquire about the situation.
HBT, a joint venture between ABG Infralogistics and France's Louis Dreyfus Armateurs (LDA) had on October 28 pulled out of a 10-year contract for cargo-handling operations, blaming the political climate and "vested interest" by the Kolkata Port Trust (KoPT) authorities.
On Friday, the French embassy had confirmed it had approached the Indian government, following a request from LDA, asking for a safe exit from Haldia. This happened after the port threatened it would not allow HBT to move its equipment worth Rs 140 crore out of Haldia. "Our officials will look into the chronology of the events and what led to this problem. Thereafter steps will be taken to normalise the situation," P K Sinha, secretary, ministry of shipping, told Business Standard.
The committee comprises two senior shipping ministry officials — S Tripathi and Anuj Agarwal and Janardhan Rao, managing director, Indian Ports Association. They will submit a final report in 10 days. "We will record the version of all stakeholders — including ABG, the port, cargo handlers and unions. We want to avoid such instances not just in Haldia, but across major ports," Rao told Business Standard.
The three officials met senior ABG officials and KoPT officials yesterday evening. Port chairman Manish Jain, however, remained conspicuous with his absence.
HBT's contract was for operations at berth number two and eight of the Haldia Dock Complex (HDC). The port later retaliated by blacklisting HBT and also hinted at blacklisting its parent companies.
"Such incidents give bad publicity to all foreign investors, who want to participate in the overall infrastructure sector of India. As it is they have reservation about handling local issues here, this sends out a very bad signal," said Vishwas Udgirkar, senior director, Deloitte India.
Congress demands KoPT board restructuring
Upping the ante, minister of state for urban development Deepa Dasmunshi said the Centre would also look into corruption charges against port authorities and also demanded restructuring of the KoPT board.
"We want the board in which at least five members affiliated to Ripley and Co, the family-run business of Trinamool Congress Parliamentarian Srinjoy Bose, to be removed. Moreover, there are corruption charges against port officials and some serious operational flaws, too, at Haldia, which has to be looked into," she said.
Dasmunshi, who had two rounds of meeting with shipping minister G K Vasan regarding the Haldia imbroglio added the ministry was also looking into the issue on how a single company, Ripley, is handling 60 per cent of onshore operations at Haldia.

Marley & Me
by John Grogan (Book Report by John Reasoner)
Marley & Me is a memoir written by the newspaper columnist John Grogan. It starts after he and his new wife, Jenny, start a life together in suburban Florida. After a few months, they decide that they want to adopt a puppy to start their family. They settle on a wild and crazy yellow lab that they name Marley. The memior spans the family's entire life with Marley as John and Jenny welcome their three children (Patrick, Conor, and Colleen) into their family and move across the country.
I really enjoyed Marley & Me! I thought the descriptions of Marley's crazy antics were hilarious and very relatable (I also have a male yellow lab who can also be very insane). Grogan did a very good job of recalling his memories into a plot that flows. I like that I was able to grow close to all of the characters.
I would recommend this book to anyone who loves dogs, stories about families, and who can handle a little bit of sobbing toward the end of the story.

Sheridan's Desperate Housewives suit to go to trial
The actress filed a multi-million dollar lawsuit against the show's creator Marc Cherry last April (10), alleging he slapped her in the face after she expressed an opinion about a script he had written, and then fired her when she complained to producers.
Superior Court Judge Elizabeth White voted to allow the star's battery, wrongful termination, and unlawful retaliation case to be tried by a jury but dismissed all other allegations, including sexual harassment.
A date has not yet been set for the trial.

Mindfulness on the Road – How to experience more
Have you ever been in a place or situation where there is just too much to take in? It feels as if every pore in your body is over saturated with stimuli. It's just too much and you can feel your brain cutting out. The worst that has happened to me is when I think back to some great over-stimulating experience and find myself not remembering anything of it. The thought of it is shocking, but it happens. All the time.
This is where mindfulness comes in. I've always practiced some form of meditation throughout the years to help lessen anxiety and everyday stress. Truthfully, I haven't been consistent in any of these practices. I usually end up disappointed in myself and looking for quick fixes. I found that practicing mindfulness and incorporating it into my daily life, I am calmer, more focused and experience things clearer. Mindfulness is described by a Perspectives on Psychological Science study as "the non-judgmental awareness of experiences in the present moment."

6 Top things to do in Córdoba
Córdoba was once the Roman and Moorish capital of Spain with its roots in the banks of the Guadalquivir River in Andalusia, Spain. It has a rich cultural and architectural heritage and in medieval times it was one of the few places Jews, Muslims, and Christians lived together peacefully. Yet, it's somewhat overshadowed by its neighbors, Granada and Seville and left out of many Spanish itineraries. I enjoyed my stay in the city so much, I would recommend it to anyone traveling to Spain and the South. Here's my 6 Top Things to do in Córdoba I compiled after my stay.

What about Nice? A City on Its Own
A visit to Córdoba's majestic Mezquita
Córdoba is one of the jewels of Andalusia in Southern Spain. Like many of its sister cities in the area (Granada, Seville, Cadiz) it boasts one magnificent structure that places it on the must see list of Spanish cities. What is this magnificent structure I'm talking about? Well, it's called the Mezquita-Cathedral – literally a Mosque-Cathedral.
Explore Tokyo: Shibuya Guide
The Shibuya area in Tokyo is a popular district for shopping, entertainment and nightlife. It's located between the equally popular Shinjuku and Harajuku areas and a good central point to stay if you visit Tokyo. Most of the well-known shops and restaurants are located around Shibuya Station and you've probably seen pictures of the busy Shibuya Crossing or heard about Hachiko, the loyal dog's statue. Here's some of my recommendations on what to see and do in Shibuya.
Hiking Lion's Head, Cape Town
Lion's Head is part of the Table Mountain Range in Cape Town, South Africa. It's iconic peak looms over the city and the ocean and a hike to its summit is popular with locals and tourists alike. The hike can take a steep 2-3 hours up and down and rewards with views around every corner.
How to spend 24 hours in Cape Town
If you're traveling to South Africa, chances are good that you will visit Cape Town, South Africa's mother city. This beautiful harbour city sits against the backdrop of Table Mountain, one of the new seven natural wonders of the world. The city is stacked with stuff to do, indoors and out doors. If this is your first time here, read my quick guide on how to spend a packed 24 hours in Cape Town.
A visit to Kenrokouen Garden in Kanazawa
Kanazawa is located in central Honshu in Japan's Isikawa prefecture. With its unique location between mountains and sea, it provided a stronghold for the Maeda feuadal lords and the town developed its own cultural identity. Kanazawa focussed more on culture than industry and it was spared from the World War II bombings. There were many reasons I included Kanazawa in my itinerary (it's like a little Kyoto) but the main reason was to see the beautiful Kenrokouen Garden.
Croatian Adventure: Finding Romans in Pula
Pula is one of the largest cities on the Istrian peninsula of Croatia. I was pleasantly surprised by the fast amount of Roman ruins and landmarks that I found during my stroll through the city. Pula has been known for its shipping industry and served as a Roman military outpost. The Roman arena has been preserved through the centuries and spectacular find in the heart of the city.

10 Things to do in Madrid's city center
Madrid is one of those cities I constantly long to go back to. I can see myself living, working and eating here. I'm in love with the Spanish way of life, the 'duende' you'll hear many of them speak of. Madrid's city center is a great place to get an idea of what Madrid is about and it can easily be explored on foot. After you've explored the city center, you can head out into the other areas like El Rastro La Latina, Lavapiés etc. Here's my best 10 things to see and do in the center.

Lunch Counter Sit Ins
By: Greta N
"We must learn to live together as brothers, or we will perish as fools," -Martin Luther King Jr.
For those who do not understand, this quote means that if we don't learn to be together, to work together as family, we will end up failing and looking really bad later.
Questions and answers about the sit-ins:
How long did it take for the sit-ins to spread, and how many people were there?
The first day, it was only the 4. By the second day, 25 people were participating. By the third day, it was about 60 students, 1/3 of them female. "By August 1, 1961, over 70,000 people had participated," says Greensboro Chronology.
Why would people still participate or care to go to the restaurants if they knew they were going to get punished?
Well, first they were determined to end restaurant segregation. This was a peaceful movement, so the men meant no harm. Second, they didn't care whether they were sent to jail because they thought of it as an honor to go to jail for standing up for what they believed, knowing they had stood out.
Where did the first sit in take place, and who participated in it?
Four black college men participated in the very first sit in ever, at Woolworth's in Greensboro, North Carolina. Their names were David Richmond, Ezell Blair Jr, Franklin McCain, and Joseph McNeil. The date was February 1, 1960.
How did this event impact the civil rights movement?
It helped the SNCC committee (student nonviolent coordinating committee) move forward even more. It also served as the leading force in the civil rights movement, and it also lead the to the organizing of the "freedom rides" and the March on Washington in 1963.
Fact and Opinion:
Fact: One fact from my research is "The Greensboro four spurred into action by the brutal murder in 1955 of Emmett Till, who had allegedly whistled at a white woman in a Mississippi store," History Channel.com writes. I know that this is a fact because there are real dates, real names, and if I were to look it up, I would find information on it.
Opinion: Segregation is dumb is a strong opinion. I think that because some people, usually whites, strongly believed in segregation, while other people thought it was the most pathetic thing in the world! I know it's an opinion because different people have different thoughts about it.
One "vocab" word to describe the sit-ins:
Harmless. I think that harmless really describes the movement because the people didn't mean any harm. They just wanted to sit at the counter to prove that there is no problem with black people sitting at lunch counters, because it was a total peaceful and harmless movement.

BELTON — "Abraham Lincoln: Self-Made in America" opens Saturday at the Bell County Museum and runs through March 9.
"We are very excited to bring this exhibit to the museum," said Stephanie Turnham, museum director. "The exhibit will showcase Abraham Lincoln, the man. (He) was a self-educated man who became what he aspired to be through hard work, which is a good lesson for us today."
It's the only stop in Texas for the traveling exhibit, organized by the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library and Museum in Springfield, Ill.
Some of the reproduced artifacts on exhibit, all modeled from originals in the Springfield museum, will include Lincoln's favorite books, his son Tad's toy cannon, the nameplate from his Springfield home, and his stovepipe hat, which he used like a briefcase to hold important papers.
Reproductions of an axe that Lincoln used to chop wood and the bloody gloves found in his pocket the night of his assassination also will be on display.
"It is beautiful and has lots of information on Lincoln," Turnham said of the exhibit, which will include interactive activities.
An opening reception featuring people in period costumes and recipes from the 19th century will be from 2 to 4 p.m. Jan. 12 at the museum. Talmage Boston, an award-winning attorney, and Mark Updegrove, director of the LBJ Library and Museum in Austin, are set to speak during the event.
On Feb. 9, the Bell County Museum plans a "birthday bash" with Lincoln-related activities and a giant cake.
The Bell County Museum is open from noon to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday at 201 N. Main St., Belton. Admission and activities are free.

Utah Jazz coach Jerry Sloan likes to hit the garage sales in the offseason near his home in McLeansboro, Ill.
Looking for Jerry-tale ending
Coaching is a very stressful job. Sometimes you want to spend your time off doing the exact opposite of your duties during the long NBA season -- like rummaging around a stranger's old stuff for a socket wrench or a long-lost 45 record.
It would be nice if Sloan found a Coach of the Year award in one of those boxes.
He deserves it. This is his 19th year leading the Jazz. He's led his team to 10 50-win seasons, and this is looking like No. 11. He put win No. 1,025 in the books after Monday's 120-95 win over the Bobcats that lifted his team to 41-19.
This is more than a lifetime achievement award. While he has maintained his team at or near the top almost every year, the guy has done a very good job this year. The Jazz are every single year the best executing team in the league, particularly in the half court. He's had some practice with guys named Stockton and Malone.
The man turns 65 later this month. Partially for sentimental reasons, he would be my choice. But if I were to guess, he might not win it.
Here are four others who could
• Mavericks coach Avery Johnson -- What differentiates Johnson from many coaches is his ability to get guys to buy in -- one example is Jerry Stackhouse, who seems content and happy playing 20 minutes a game. Johnson's team is now 50-9, on a 15-game win streak. Buying into that? Good idea.
• Spurs coach Gregg Popovich -- Everybody bemoaned the fall of the Spurs, but look, they're right there. Guys are playing as well as ever, always disciplined. His team's playing well, peaking at the right time and currently sits one game ahead of the Jazz for the No. 3 seed in the West.
• Pistons coach Flip Saunders -- Give him credit for being more of an offensive coach than some of the top COY candidates -- and now that he has an offensive player with Chris Webber's skills -- Detroit's by far the best team in the East.
• Rockets coach Jeff Van Gundy -- One of the smartest minds in the game today. While Tracy McGrady was out, Van Gundy kept his team in a position to hang in there, and then become a very dangerous team for the playoffs.
Having a healthy T-Mac changes the equation, and he was joined Monday by one of the top three centers in the league in Yao Ming. Van Gundy know his players' strengths, and is demanding in the right way.

Hanging In There With Shaq

Shaquille O'Neal had 14 points and nine rebounds on the eve of his 35th birthday, and the Heat beat the Hawks 88-81. The Heat are over .500 for the first time in nearly four months.
Dime Mailbag: The MVPs
Jamal Crawford over Andre Iguodala as one of your two honorable-mention guys for MVP of the Atlantic Division? You've got to be kidding. Do you think any GM in the league wouldn't trade Crawford for Iguodala straight up? And you can't really say that you picked Crawford over Iguodala because his team was doing better. You also picked Dwight Howard, whose team is dropping like a rock.
I'm a Pistons fan, but how can you possibly say Billups is the MVP of the division over LeBron? Take out Billups and we're still a .500 team. Take out LeBron and the Cavs may have 10 wins all season.
Thank you for recognizing Deron Williams' excellence. I feel he's often been overlooked by the national media, but after Dirk and Nash I think he has to be No. 3 on the list of MVP candidates and I'd actually take him above Nash if it was up to me.
-- Tom (Las Vegas)
He's No Oden, But
I've gotten a lot of e-mails about why Washington's freshman center Spencer Hawes is ranked so high.
If you watched the UCLA-Washington game on Saturday, you know why. Hawes is the most offensively skilled player in the country -- a guy who can score with either hand around the basket. He also possesses the ability to step out to 18 feet and draw out defenses.
The only thing that stops him offensively is his teammates. Much too often, Washington's guards refuse to pass it to Hawes on the block.
And while his rebounding has been a disappointment this season (thanks in part to Jon Brockman cleaning up every loose ball), Hawes' 14 boards against UCLA showed he was capable of excelling in that department too.
Add in his excellent passing skills and basketball IQ, and Hawes is one of the rare 7-footers who could come into the league and be a scoring threat right away.

-- Andrew Ayres
Turn To Machine When Lottery Is Only Hope
As many Boston and Philadelphia fans grit their teeth with each totally unnecessary and counterproductive win, with each passing day, the NBA draft is that much closer. Check out where your team projects.
Don't Forget This Sun
A.J. (Chicago): When Phoenix loses to lowly Philadelphia with Shawn Marion out of the lineup, where are all the columns proclaiming him the MVP?
John Hollinger: This is a great point. If you looked at on-court versus off-court stats last season, it was Marion, not Steve Nash, who was the indispensable Sun; in fact it wasn't close. This year Nash's differential is better, but Marion's is still huge. It's just he misses so few games that people don't start on the "They're nothing without Marion" arguments the way they've done during Nash's absences.

"I Am Not Coming Back"
Reggie Miller told Dan Patrick on Monday how the rumor that he is returning to the NBA with the Dallas Mavericks got started.
"This all came from Mark Cuban," Miller said. "I have not spoken to Mark Cuban or anybody in the Mavericks organization I am retired."
Is their a scenario that could bring you out? Patrick asked.
Miller, 41, was fairly mum, not saying what it would take to get him out of retirement.
For Miller, it seems the important thing is not to be seen as chasing a ring, and soliciting teams. But he allowed that if his people were contacted, he said his next step would be to talk to his family and friends about coming back.
Getting in shape to play for the U.S. national team this summer does interest him, he said.

|How much does an hour cost? Nonlinear wage growth as a persisting source of the gender wage gap
|Zhong, Linda J.
|Bhatt, Swati
|Class Year:
|Conventional theories previously used to explain the gap between male and female wages are growing less relevant over time as women's productive human capital levels catch up to men's. In 2014, economist Claudia Goldin created a new model of nonlinear wage growth to explain the current earnings di erential. She theorizes that in \greedy" occupations that require higher hours and commitment, earnings tend to increase nonlinearly with respect to hours. Thus working a reduced amount of hours or needing a exible schedule comes at a high price|one that women must pay if they want to start a family. The higher hours men work earn them disproportionately higher wages than women, resulting in the gender gap. This paper tests the relationship of this theory against the shrinkage of the gender earnings gap over time. Unfortunately, like many other explanations, the model of nonlinear wage returns explains more about the past's gender gap than it does of today's. My analysis of U.S. Census and Ameri- can Community Survey data reveal that women are not deterred, but rather continue to move into \greedy" occupations over time. Another explanation is that greedy oc- cupations are reforming themselves over time in a way that create a more amenable environment for working mothers. I also test and develop another measure of nonlinear wage growth based on Cha and Weeden's theory of \overwork," namely that the extra earnings premium of working long hours account for the di erence in male and female wages. However, tests of the overwork premium indicate that nonlinear wage growth ac- tually shrinks the gender gap in large-gap occupations. While the overall relationship of an occupation's gender earnings gap and nonlinear wage growth in the last few decades is muddled, there is growing evidence that rms' compensation practices at higher hours is a source of the current gender gap, but also a potential way for women's wages to catch up to men's in the future.

A few of these would have a chance if rediscovering their best form. Steuben, Liberate, Miss Topsy Turvy, Shesha Bear and course specialist Hawridge King all fall into that category, while Switched Off ended his losing run over 1m4f at Chepstow last time and comes into the equation. The lightly-raced PRESTO VOLANTE got off the mark at the Welsh track last month and the runner-up had Madame St Clair well behind when scoring at Lingfield subsequently. Amanda Perrett's four-year-old can score again as Honourable Knight appears to have lost his way and Handles For Forks is also struggling at present. Cellist is usually thereabouts and stays this trip but she's probably still a couple of pounds too high in the weights.

Aruba Networks has unveiled the Aruba AirMesh outdoor wireless solutions portfolio. Designed to be the most scalable and high-performance outdoor mesh portfolio available in the industry today, the Layer-3 routing capabilities of all AirMesh products and the quad-radio architecture of the new flagship MSR4000 clearly differentiate it from other outdoor mesh solutions.
"Layer-3 routing capability, which greatly improves scalability, will be increasingly critical for large mesh networks of the type that serve municipalities and large outdoor industrial installations," said Rohit Mehra, director, enterprise communications infrastructure, IDC. "Users should also look to the elimination of wired or overlay backhaul systems enabled by quad-radio architectures. This helps them minimise the cost of expensive cabling, and eases both installation and management."
The Aruba AirMesh portfolio was designed from the ground up to be deployed in a wide variety of outdoor network scenarios, including delivery of data, voice and high-definition (HD) video at oil and gas fields, mining operations, utility management and transportation facilities. Local government uses include municipal wireless deployments and public safety applications such as video surveillance, mobile data transmission and disaster recovery. Its intelligent multi-radio design, with dual- and quad-radio 802.11n MIMO platforms, enables massive capacity, interference mitigation and sustained throughput over multiple network hops.
At the port of Yokohama, Japan, traffic from IP cameras, weather sensors, Z-Wave and other Wi-Fi enabled devices is transferred by Aruba's AirMesh network to the iPhones and iPads used by workers and security at the port. United Communication Services, Inc. (Unicom), which specialises in wireless and mobile technology, acted as the system integrator for the project.
"Providing network connectivity in outdoor environments is often challenging due to the cost and disruption of running fibre to each location," said Nobuharu Suzuki, corporate officer and general manager of the engineering department for Unicom. "Most wireless mesh networks deployed today simply cannot scale to cover large areas and provide multi-service capabilities due to a legacy Layer-2 mesh switching architecture. With its Layer-3 routing architecture and quad-radio-enabled backhaul capabilities, Aruba AirMesh enables us to meet all of our outdoor networking needs, regardless of the number of hops or the type of application being delivered."
The Aruba AirMesh portfolio of products features Aruba MeshOS, with Adaptive Wireless Routing (AWR), providing RF-aware, Layer-3 network intelligence to optimise traffic flow, reduce latency and ensure resiliency. Active Video Transport (AVT) optimises and prioritises video traffic, significantly improving video quality by reducing packet loss and jitter. AVT can identify video frames at 30 fps, a critical capability in delivery of HD video over multiple hops. Aruba's MobileMatrix technology enables reliable roaming between mesh routers in less than 50ms.
"The clarity of the HD-quality video and reliability of the Aruba wireless mesh network allows Seattle police to protect the public without requiring a costly wired infrastructure," said Monty Moss, a detective with the Seattle Police Department. "The particular system that we designed is also incredibly flexible. Cameras, wireless mesh routers and antennas can be moved and repositioned anywhere in the city to ensure public safety at specific events."
The Aruba AirMesh family includes ruggedised single, dual and quad radio platforms that deliver fibre-like capacity – up to 300 Mbps per radio. Each software-configurable radio can function as a mesh backhaul link or access point (AP) that operates in multiple frequencies for optimal performance and sustained throughput over multiple hops. Additionally, long-range directional antennae facilitate data transmission at distances up to 10 kilometres (6 miles).
The Aruba AirMesh portfolio includes the following products:
- NEW! MSR4000 – Quad-radio outdoor 802.11n mesh router , software configurable for 2.4, 5 or 4.9GHz operation
- NEW! MST200 – Single-radio outdoor 802.11n mesh router with an integrated antenna for long-range connections.
- MSR2000 – Dual-radio outdoor 802.11n mesh router, software configurable for 2.4, 5, or 4.9GHz operation
- MSR1200 – Dual-radio indoor 802.11n mesh router
- MeshConfig – Enables monitoring and management of multiple mesh networks
IT professionals certified as Aruba Wireless Mesh Professionals (AWMPs) will be able to deploy and manage Aruba AirMesh outdoor wireless mesh networks. The fee-based certification exam is administered on behalf of Aruba Networks at Pearson VUE test centres. Participants in this course will have completed the Aruba Wireless Mesh Networking (AWMN) course. AWMP certification is valid for three years. Recertification requires passing the then-current version of the AWMP exam.
The newly announced Aruba 3D Outdoor Coverage Planning Tool gives Aruba customers and partners an effective way to plan and visualise their Aruba AirMesh deployments in 3D, with detailed predictions for signal strength at both ends of link, as well as upstream and downstream throughput and channel-specific displays. Easy-to read, multi-coloured graphs generated by the planning tool clearly show client coverage, client throughput, elevation profile and other deployment attributes.
"The AirMesh multiservice 802.11n outdoor network portfolio helps ensure that users have reliable coverage and high quality of experience with video, voice and data applications, regardless of their location and in even in extremely harsh environments," said Greg Murphy, Vice President of Outdoor Mesh Networking for Aruba. "This not only helps reduce the high cost of fiber cabling, but also gives users coverage when and where they want it, even as that changes over time."

In the title compound, C20H22N5O+·Br−·C2H6O, the tetrahydropyrimidine ring of the bicyclic cation adopts a half-chair conformation with an equatorial orientation of the phenyl and methyl substituents. The amino group is nearly coplanar with the 1,2,4-triazole ring [interplanar angle = 4.08 (8)°] and has a slightly pyramidal configuration. The mean planes of the triazole ring and the benzene ring of the phenacyl group form a dihedral angle of 88.58 (7)°. In the crystal, N—H⋯Br, N—H⋯O and O—H⋯Br hydrogen bonds link the cations, anions and ethanol molecules into layers parallel to the bc plane.

I bought house a couple of years ago and have a stable job. So I'm a pretty regular guy with something of a hopeful / hopeless romantic bent. As much a cliché as it is I do actually enjoy long walks on the beach. Especially at night in places where you can still see the stars really well.
My favorite way to blow off some steam is going for a run. Swimming is a close second. Anyone want to do some triathlons with me this year? Or hike inland from some beautiful beaches to check out some secluded water falls?

Details of U.S. Raid in Somalia: Success So Near, a Loss So Deep
Published: October 25, 1993
(Page 2 of 3)
Another possible way to extract the Rangers if they were pinned down was the Quick Reaction Force, made up of Army soldiers under General Montgomery's command. But there was only limited coordination between the Rangers and the reaction force, which had little advance notice of the raid and was given no sense that its urgent help might be needed.
General Montgomery was in the town of Belet Uen on Oct. 3 and was not told of the proposed raid until after his return, at 2:50 P.M. After consulting a book of aerial photos, he determined that it would not interfere with United Nations operations and gave the go-ahead.
It was not until 3:45 P.M. that Lieut. Col. Bill David, the commander of the battalion that was serving as the ground element of the reaction force, was ordered to send an infantry company to the airport, where the Rangers were staging. Colonel David was told only that the Rangers were conducting an operation, and not given any details. Surprise Succeeds; Disaster Follows
The first part of the operation went smoothly. The Rangers caught the Somalis by surprise and captured 24 of General Aidid's men. The trucks and Humvees moved in to pick up the prisoners at around 4 P.M.
"We definitely achieved surprise," Colonel McKnight said. "We were right on track and in good shape."
But at 4:20 P.M., disaster struck: The lead Black Hawk helicopter was shot down by a rocket-propelled grenade, three blocks to the north.
Braving the fire, a search-and-rescue helicopter landed, determined that the pilot and co-pilot had been killed in the crash, removed two of the four wounded occupants and lifted off, only to be hit. It limped back to base.
By radio, General Garrison ordered the Rangers to consolidate their forces as they moved to the crash site. But as the Rangers advanced, the Somalis unleashed a barrage of fire from rooftops and alleyways.
"The amount of R.P.G. and AK-47 fire was really a surprise," said Danny Jackson, a 21-year-old Ranger, referring to rifle-propelled grenades. He was riding in one of the Humvees.
Facing intense fire, the force split up. Unable to advance, Colonel McKnight, who had been wounded, returned with a convoy filled with prisoners and American wounded.
About 100 soldiers formed a perimeter around the downed helicopter. Their decision to stay changed the entire character of the operation. The raid had been built on the assumption that the lightly armed Rangers would sweep in and rush out of the streets of south Mogadishu; now they were hunkering down.
Colonel McKnight said the Rangers protecting the crash site could have fought their way out after the convoy left, but were determined not to abandon the body of the dead pilot, caught in the twisted wreckage. Without the saws to pry the body free, casualties mounted as the Rangers at the crash site waited for rescue.
The downing of a second Black Hawk helicopter, piloted by Chief Warrant Officer Michael Durant, made a bad situation worse. Since the downed helicopter was two miles south of the first crash site, two Rangers went to its aid, sliding down ropes from another hovering helicopter. Mr. Durant was pinned in the wreckage, but the Rangers pulled him free and brought him to cover. The Rangers died in a 45-minute firefight, but Mr. Durant lived and was captured. Scramble to Send Rescue Forces
Back at their home base, the Rangers mounted a rescue effort, sending 7 Humvees and 27 Rangers. But as they moved forward they encountered Colonel McKnight's bullet-ridden convoy and decided to help it get back to base.
Then 140 soldiers from the quick reaction force then set out, in Humvees and five-ton trucks. But they had to pull back after running into an ambush.
The Americans decided they needed more forces as well as armor for the rescue. The rest of the quick reaction battalion task force was ordered to move to the airfield, but did not arrive until 7:45 P.M.
The only armor in Mogadishu belonged to the non-American contingents in the United Nations force; on Sept. 23, Defense Secretary Les Aspin had turned down a request to send tanks and armored personnel carriers as reinforcements. So a Pakistani tank platoon and two Malaysian mechanized companies were contacted and told to move to the staging area.
As the Americans scrambled to assemble a multinational rescue force, American helicopters dropped ammunition, water and intravenous solutions for the wounded at the first crash site.
The Pakistanis were reluctant to put their M-48 tanks at the front of the column, an American official said. It also took a while to find Malaysian drivers who spoke English to drive the American soldiers in their armored personnel carriers.
Finally, at 11:20 P.M., the rescue column left -- 4 Pakistani M-48 tanks and 28 Malaysian armored personnel carriers. United States officers said the Malaysians were much more aggressive than the Pakistanis, sometime firing indiscriminately.
"It was a three-ring circus," a senior American officer said.
It took the rescuers until 2:30 A.M. Monday to reach both crash sites. The heavy American casualties nearly overloaded the Army hospital in Mogadishu, whose three surgeons were assisted by two German surgeons and an anesthesiologist who arrived after a two-hour helicopter flight from Belet Uen. The hospital performed 36 operations in 36 hours, including one amputation. Three patients died during their operations.
Relief officials estimate that at least 300 Somalis, including civilians, were killed and more than 700 wounded in the fierce firefights. Some in Pentagon Are Critical

Do guys normally cook a BIG breakfast for a girl they are dating? If so... would that imply a step towards seriousness?
I have been dating this guy for 4 months (LD)... and normally when I stay the w/e it's bran flakes, berries and cereal or a fruit cup. He's a health nut.
Anyways... the last w/e we spent together he got up early to cook me this enormous breakfast from scratch -- eggs, bacon, home fries (he made himself), pancakes (from scratch), chai latte (from scratch)... etc. It was incredible.
The next morning I bugged him about the return to cereal -- and said wow this is serious you are cooking me breakfast. He laughed and said no -- but yesterday's breakfast was indeed "something". Hmmmmm... thoughts?
Cooking Breakfast For The Girl You Are Dating? Is that Meaningful?
Do guys normally cook a BIG breakfast for a girl they are dating? If so... would that imply a step towards seriousness?
Have an opinion?
What Guys Said 1
I think it's his sincere interest to take a step away from "cereal" and fast food- though if your referring to if he's gonna propose, this has no direct relation to that topic.
It's sweet that he did that for you and it's rather sudden/shocking- but whatever works, I would presume he knows to appreciate you, if he slaves away at any task. Most FWB / Jerks / Players- will only sweeten you up and then take advantage of the situation.
Look at what he did though- he made you breakfast without any obligation.
You have a keeper, so don't even stress your mind about who is a jerk and who isnt. Just be his and try to reciprocate it by making him breakfast sometime ;D
Bon Vida~ (I can't speak a lick of french, so- "Good life")
No - gosh no -- no proposals on my mind whatsoever. I guess you could say we are in that grey phase of "seeing each other" before you have the exclusivity talk. We have been close friends for 11 years... and he's never been this romantic. He did the whole candlelight 5 course dinner from scratch as well the night before. It was amazing.
We definately are NOT FWBs - he already identified that we were "dating"... and not FWBs... over an elegant evening at a fancy restaurant about 3 months ago. He also gave me his house keys the same night.
Like I mentioned ^_^ There's nothing to worry about, this guy cooked breakfast for you, gave his house key to you, and already said that you both are dating. I would view it as him courting you (being respectful without actively seeking something more). Which is sweet and simple
It seems you like him alot, you already defended his name when I wasn't accusing him of anything lol

I am going to ask out a girl tomorrow. I am thinking about asking her to go for a walk on this nature trial right by my house this weekend.
Most Helpful Girl
Thats a really awesome way to get a girl running after you! She'll think u r cool and quiet sometimes and u enjoy the outdoors. Then there will b good opportunities to make conversation too. Try and sweet talk her, and see what happens;) oh and pack some snacks!!!
Have fun!00|00|0
Most Helpful Guy
Walks are nice butttt if you run out of things to say about life, then you may not have a good excuse to change subjects or whatever... which begs to say, then, you should end the date. I guess what I'm saying is, you want to pick something that, you can comment on. If you're playing golf, you can say "well this hole (sex comments please, lol) looks interesting" Just remember, you need to have something to resort to, in case you run out of things to say. She's not going to come up with most of the topics, she's probably going to follow your lead00|00|0

INPEX CORPORATION has updated the expected production start-up schedule and raised the anticipated production capacity of the Ichthys LNG Project, which it is currently developing as Operator alongside its project partners.
Production, which was initially expected to start toward the end of December 2016, is now expected to start in the third quarter of 2017 (July-September 2017). Meanwhile, INPEX will raise the annual LNG production capacity by approximately 6% to 8.9 MTPA from the initially planned 8.4 MTPA.
Since January 2012, when INPEX announced its final investment decision on the Ichthys LNG Project, the company has worked on developing the project in various locations around the world. While the project's overall development was approximately 74% complete as of June 2015, INPEX updated the production start schedule based on the findings of a detailed review of the project's development schedule. The company will continue to diligently proceed with development work while prioritizing safety.
It is expected that the revised production start-up schedule and other factors will increase the project's investment. However, the increase is expected to be limited to approximately 10%.

Short and sweet, this hotel offers a great bang for the buck! The rooms are very comfortable. Never heard a peep from people in the halls or through the walls. Bed was the best I have ever slept on. Breakfast buffet puts most to total shame. Staff friendly and personable. The only thing I might critique is the exceptionally slow elevator, but that is simply stretching to find something to whine about...lol.
Location was great, just south of I-595....next to the Florida turnpike and 10 minutes to the airport. Gas station just down the road if you have to fill up before returning your rental. Good eats only a few minutes west on University St.
