Ericsson (NASDAQ:ERIC) announced today its collaboration with Aconite to provide a service that securely delivers and remotely manages applications for consumer's NFC (Near Field Communications) enabled mobile phones. Banks wishing to issue contactless mobile payments applications are the service's primary market. Other markets include organizations issuing access, ID, loyalty, ticketing and proximity marketing applications. Aconite is a leading provider of software and consulting services for managing business applications on chips in smart cards, tokens or mobiles.
Together, Ericsson and Aconite will offer application issuers a turnkey solution for distributing innovative mobile-based products to their customers and for refreshing those products, whenever necessary, to maintain a competitive edge. This solution is a fast track to the market, offering a route with much lower risk and capital-investment than an in-house solution. It is based on the integration of the Aconite Mobile Application Manager™ with the Ericsson Trusted Service Manager (TSM) service, through GlobalPlatform standard interfaces.
This collaborative solution enables an issuer to create a security domain within the secure element (of any type) in the NFC handset and to load, personalize, update or delete applets on that domain. All with very little impact on legacy banking systems.
The Aconite Mobile Application Manager is standard compliant with GlobalPlatform standard messaging interfaces, which ensures that the issuers' data is always isolated from the mobile infrastructure and maintained securely within the Aconite Mobile Application Manager environment. The Ericsson-Aconite collaboration also enables issuers to transfer data between their security domains within secure elements and Aconite Mobile Application Manager, in order to manage payment transactions, EMV scripts, prepaid top-ups and other transactions securely and privately.
Patrick Regester, Aconite's SVP Sales & Marketing, said "Our collaboration with Ericsson lets us offer retail financial institutions, of all sizes, the opportunity to give their customers innovative, world-class mobile payments services economically and without delay. Aconite is very pleased to be working with such a reputable global leader as Ericsson. We are very confident that issuers taking advantage of the opportunity to launch mobile payments products will receive excellent service and derive significant benefits".
Richard Anell, head of Ericsson's IPX business, commented "Aconite has an excellent reputation and experience with their proven smart card management product, and have demonstrated its reliability and functional flexibility in industrial scale production use. The Ericsson TSM platform lowers the barriers of entry to the contactless ecosystem for issuers. We feel this collaboration is a winning combination and look forward to meeting financial institutions' requirements in the mobile payments space".

HARARE, Zimbabwe (AP) — Zimbabwe's longtime political rivals came together to vote 'Yes' in a referendum to accept a new constitution Saturday, but the rare consensus does not guarantee an end to political violence and intimidation ahead of crucial elections later this year, the prime minister's party said.
Constitutional reform was a key demand of regional leaders mediating in the southern African nation's decade-long political and economic crisis. Reform was also a requirement for fresh elections to end a shaky and acrimonious coalition they brokered after the last violent and disputed national polls in 2008.
The new constitution allows for more democratic reforms that would curb long entrenched presidential powers and punish perpetrators of human rights violations.
However, Tendai Biti, the third ranking official in Prime Minister Morgan Tsvangirai's party, said Saturday that political intimidation continued into the vote.
Biti said the arrest of a senior provincial official for the Movement for Democratic Change party by President Robert Mugabe's loyalist police on Saturday, casts doubt on the prospect of free and fair elections slated for around July.
Sampson Magunise, the party official in eastern Zimbabwe, was seized by four armed police before referendum polling stations opened at 7:00 a.m. (0500 GMT) across the country. No reasons for his arrest were given.
"This is illegal and unacceptable but it is typical of the environment we are living in," Biti said.
Magunise's arrest followed attacks on four party's supporters putting up referendum posters in the northern town of Kariba and scuffles between rival youth groups in Harare and the second city of Bulawayo on Friday.
Past elections have been marred by violence and alleged vote rigging blamed mostly on Mugabe's ZANU-PF party.
Both President Mugabe and Prime Minister Tsvangirai said they voted 'Yes' Saturday after all main party leaders called for the 170-page draft constitution to be adopted.
"We will celebrate a 'Yes' vote but we cannot accept intimidation of any of our members and then declare an election to be credible," Biti said.
Biti said regional polling observers will likely report Saturday's vote as acceptable compared to "low standards of behavior" expected of Zimbabweans seen at previous polls.
"We can't accept mediocrity when it comes to elections that wouldn't be tolerated in other countries" during polling, he said.
Mugabe said he voted 'Yes' to the home-grown constitution to show how Zimbabwe mapped out its own future without outside interference.
"It gives us the right to determine together which way to govern ourselves," he said.
Mugabe, 89, who led the nation to independence from Britain in 1980, has repeatedly accused Western governments of supporting efforts to oust him.
Mugabe, who voted at a school in western Harare with his wife Grace and his daughter Bona, 22, said he wanted peace in all polling.
"Those who want to fight are allowed to if they are boxers or wrestlers, but to go about beating people in the streets, that's not allowed," he said.
Tsvangirai, 61, was thronged by supporters while voting at a junior high school south of Harare, said a 'Yes' vote marked a new turning point "and one of the most important historical steps" for the southern African nation after years of political and economic turmoil. He said it paved the way for a new chapter of the rule of law.
His supporters who have been killed in political violence over the past decade "will rest in peace because this is the most important stage we have been fighting for," Tsvangirai said. "I hope everyone will exercise their vote as a preliminary step to free and fair elections."
Officials said polling was busy in populous districts, and small knots of voters turned out early in remote areas and less populated or wealthier suburbs.
The voting day was announced exactly a month ago, and critics say voters were not given enough time to study the constitutional proposals in detail. About 9,400 voting stations were set up and 12 million ballot papers have been printed. Results are expected within five days.
Abigail Punungwe, a young mother with a baby on her back in a line at one voting station in Harare, said she hadn't read the 170-page draft constitution "but everyone is saying we must vote for it."
Elections monitors say printed copies were woefully inadequate in the two main local languages. Many rural Zimbabweans don't speak or read English. Monitors also pointed to only 200 braille copies being produced for the country's 40,000 blind people.
Cumbersome voters' lists were not used. The nation has 6.6 million registered voters, but on Saturday all Zimbabweans over the age of 18 carrying a valid citizens' identification document were able to vote during more than 12 hours of polling. Polling stations using indelible finger ink on the hands of those who have already voted will stay open later into the evening if voters are still in line at the closing time.
Voting lines over 200 meters (300 yards) long in Harare had tapered off by Saturday afternoon.
Munganyi Nyarai, a polling officer in the western Harare township of Mbare, said more young people voted early at her post than in usual elections.
The draft constitution reduces presidential powers to pass authoritarian decrees and paves the way for a National Peace and Reconciliation Commission on past violence and human rights violations.
It also strengthens the bill of rights to protect all Zimbabweans from "torture, cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment or punishment" that would be enforced by a new Constitutional Court with powers above the main existing highest court of appeal, the Supreme Court.
In urging supporters to vote 'Yes,' Mugabe's party says the draft recognizes as irreversible the seizure of thousands of white-owned commercial farms which have since 2000 been handed over to blacks. Black empowerment programs and the taking of control of foreign-owned mines and businesses by locals would also be irreversible.
Mugabe's party says the draft honors black guerrilla fighters who ended colonial rule after a seven-year bush war with white-led troops of the former colony of Rhodesia, as Zimbabwe was known before independence in 1980.
Small groups who have campaigned for a 'No' vote say the referendum is a compromise that doesn't meet the aspirations for change of ordinary Zimbabweans.
"The constitution has been taken over by politicians and doesn't reflect the true wishes of the people. It is a betrayal of generations to come," said voter Philimon Jambaya, 23.
Associated Press reporter Gillian Gotora in Harare, Zimbabwe contributed to this report.

Please comment on the State of the Union if you like. I'm going to be listening.
There's a distressing story at Mother Jones about a schizophrenic man on death row in Texas. Titled "How Crazy Is Too Crazy to Be Executed?" the story explores how the Texas courts determine whether anyone is too mentally compromised to be executed. But there are a couple of other points that scream out of it.
One is that Texas has nothing that rises to the level of a "system" that identifies psychotic people and at least puts them somewhere where they can't harm themselves or anyone else. And actual medical treatment would not be a bad thing, of course. The subject, Andre Thomas, had been identified as severely disturbed before the voices in his head compelled him to murder his ex-wife and their children. But, somehow, he remained under no supervision of any sort until he confessed to murder.
This reminded me a of Andrea Yates's story. You probably remember that Yates was the Texas mother who drowned her five children in a bathtub. It turned out that not only was Yates massively psychotic at the time of the incident; she had been in and out of psychiatric hospitals a couple of times before the drownings. And at the time of the drownings her family had been taking her to see a doctor on a regular basis. But even then, the amount of help and supervision that she really needed just wasn't available, somehow.
But I don't want to pick on Texas too much, because the psychiatric "safety net" is pretty much nonexistent everywhere, from what I see. In the past such people might have been warehoused in a state psychiatric hospital, which often were awful places, but the only alternative we seem to have come up with is to just let them stumble around until they kill somebody. Or die on the street somewhere.
And this takes us to the subject of firearm purchasing. The walking crazy are among us. And it's not always obvious at a glance who they are. The "system" is so porous that certifiably sick people go undiagnosed — or even if diagnosed, untreated — for years. So how does anyone think the "system" would be able to maintain a Crazy People Registry as part of a gun purchase background check? (Even if it were a good idea, which it isn't.) There is no system.

Lars Ulrich Would Be 'Surprised' If Next Metallica Album Came Out Before 2015
Better be patient, Metallica fans, because drummer Lars Ulrich isn't expecting to release another album for another couple of years.
Metallica just took a trip to South Africa to perform one concert in Johannesburg and two shows in Cape Town. During an interview with South African news source Channel24, Ulrich spoke about Metallica's next release, the band's longevity and much more.
"It would surprise me if the next full-length Metallica record would come out before 2015," Ulrich tells Channel24. "It takes us awhile to make records, and we're also so busy with so many other things. But we'll get around to it eventually."
Ulrich also offered some inside info on Metallica's longevity. "When you're younger, you're a bit more fit for fight, or ready to kind of… it's either your way or no way," Ulrich explains. "But I think as you get older, you start realizing that what you have is special. [We realized] that at least in this band, Metallica is the sum of all parts, so if all the parts are not there, it's not Metallica. So you have to find a way to kind of give and take and balance and compromise, and sometimes you lead and sometimes you follow, and sometimes you dig your heels in and other times you let go. It takes some time to figure that out."
Ulrich continues, "I think a really big help in our situation was the fact that we all had kids more or less around the same time. So when you have no kids — and this is the 'sound bite' version of this — you think primarily of yourself. When you have children, you think primarily of others before yourself. So, I think some of the things about the way you relate to your children and put your children first, you learn to, kind of, put your own needs secondary. And I think the fact that we all had kids at the same time helped instill that in us. And so you try to, sort of, sometimes just put your own needs second and learn to trust that you can go with somebody else's thought and opinion."
Check out Lars Ulrich's full video interview with Channel24 in the player below.

These three scenarios are designed to be ?done-in-one,? but they may have greater consequences to the campaign. They are intended for use with the Ignotus ? campaign setting, but information is given on creatures, classes, and feats not found in the d20 Modern ? rulebook, so these scenarios can be used without the rulebook. The third scenario is for use in an ongoing Ignotus ? campaign, though it can be modified for any supernatural setting.
If you want to check out the Ignotus setting before getting the rulebook, the "Halloween Special" is for you. If you're already playing an Ignotus campaign, there is a bunch of new stuff for your game. If you're just looking for something different, these scenarios are short-- an average of 17 pages each-- so they can be quickly set up for a single-session game.
The first is a new look at the Headless Horseman, followed by the discovery of the inhabitants of a haunted house. Who will survive "Sleepy Hollow Revisited"?
The second scenario takes the characters on a train ride into a nightmare. After an attack on the train that leaves most of the passengers dead or trapped, the characters enter an old farmhouse, where they discover the secret of the former owner, and "The Chaos Engine."
The third is based on a recent discovery under the streets of Paris-- a theater and restaurant carved out of the catacombs. (The scenario may be set anywhere, though.) Who built the theater, and why did they do it? What do the symbols painted on the ceiling and walls mean? Find out in "Cinema Veritas."

Amare can do that to anyone in the league. He has done that for years now.
I like how Tolliver can't defend, one-on-one and zero help, against one of the best low post scorers in the league , and he's no good. I guess there are a lot of all-stars that should leave the league as well. Actually Amare should also be gone. He's had his share of facials.
You took my post too literal. Basically, Amare embaressed Tolliver.

VANCOUVER, Dec. 17, 2012 /CNW/ - Taseko (TSX: TKO; NYSE MKT: TGB) (the "Company") is pleased to announce that the commissioning phase of the $325 million Gibraltar Development Project 3 (GDP 3) has begun.
The electrical power distribution and reclaim water systems have been successfully tied in and are now operational and water testing of the new tailings system is underway.
Commissioning will continue into January and it is expected that first ore will be delivered to the new concentrator immediately thereafter, with commercial production targeted by the end of March.
Russell Hallbauer, President and CEO of Taseko, commented, "In the twenty months since awarding the construction management contract, we have successfully built a new 30,000 ton per day concentrator and associated infrastructure, on time and on budget for $235 million. This new concentrator, along with the $90 million of new state-of-the-art mining equipment, will increase Gibraltar's production capabilities to 85,000 tons per day by mid-2013. Gibraltar will have two distinct production trains which will significantly enhance our operational flexibility. As metal production increases over the course of the year while we ramp up our daily mill throughput, operating costs will decline from those experienced over the latter part of 2012."

To make your transfer easier, JCC and many four-year colleges and universities have developed articulation agreements which serve as guidelines, ensuring that you complete appropriate courses before applying to your baccalaureate campus.
When you are accepted for transfer into a parallel program (a continuation of your first two years of study), full credit is generally awarded for your JCC coursework. To ensure that you will have the opportunity to complete your bachelor's degree in four additional semesters of full-time study, you should work closely with an advisor at JCC in choosing courses that fulfill degree requirements at your transfer school.
JCC representatives are continually updating existing articulation agreements and negotiating new agreements. Below is a list of current agreements. While this is a listing of colleges with which JCC has specific agreements, JCC students transfer smoothly to many other institutions as well.
Transfer and other special agreements
Connect to your future through JCC's One-Plus-One Agreements, where students spend one year at JCC and then transfer to a partner institution to complete the second year of the degree program. We also have special credit opportunities.
For a complete list of transfer agreements that relate to a particular JCC program, please visit our specific academic program pages. Links to all of our programs are listed on our academics page.
- Most agreements guarantee admission to the transfer school.
- Most agreements guarantee the opportunity to earn the bachelor's degree in four semesters.
- Many agreements allow the transfer of more than 60 credits toward degree requirements at the transfer school.
- Some agreements are for master's and doctoral degree programs.
- Some agreements allow students to earn their bachelor's degree online.

I think I was 8, maybe 9 years old. That would have been way back in the year of our Lord 1956. (YIKES! I'm OLD!!) Young Ted snuggled on the leafy ground in a roughshod makeshift groundblind, barely thrown together with rotted old barn shards and limbs of various coniferous and deciduous origin strewn hither and yon to form my neat little deerblind fort.
Having traipsed the forests of Michigan with my bowhunting dad since birth, there are no words to adequately describe my passion/addiction to walking wildground with bow and arrows in hand. I got it so good I got it bad, and always have.
We were at Fletchers FloodWaters, a neat little cabin rental retreat in the big timber of my beloved "Up North" near Gaylord, Michigan. Dad was 100 yards west of me on this little rye patch deep in the forest, and we both clutched our beautiful Osage longbows and Port Orford cedar arrows tipped with wicked looking 3-blade Bodkin broadheads as hope gushed eternal for a shot at the mighty, elusive whitetail deer.
You see, my dad got the Fred Bear itch upon return home to Michigan from his warrior duties in WWII in 1945, and though he hunted quite a bit each season, he had never arrowed a deer yet.
This day, miracle of miracles, a trio of does nervously entered our little foodplot, and I'm here to tell you I was about to blowup out of my skin with excitement. Talk about buck fever! I was shaking and literally hyperventilating out of control.
The three deer fed schizophrenically in front of me for over an hour, driving me completely bonkers, and I literally didn't think I was going to make it.
Variations of this torture went on year after year, season after season, critter encounter after increasing critter encounters, and not a backstrap ever made its way onto the Nugent dinnertable. Nary a one.
But we never missed a season. Never missed an opportunity to get after em. My dad's hunting slowed down quite a bit over time, but my days afield increased substantially each year, even with my exploding rock-n-roll career keeping me crazy busy on the road all year. Fortunately I was smart enough to know how important my sacred hunting time was for soul cleansing essentials, and eventually at the age of 20, I finally arrowed my first doe, and what a moment of infamy it was.
So we're talking many, many seasons, year after year, day after day, deer-less hunt after deer-less hunt. Getting skunked became my modus operandi, and I didn't like it one bit.
But I hunted hard, learned as many lessons as I possibly could, tried to improvise, adapt and overcome, and I never gave up.
Even today after a gungho 65-year lifetime of hardcore deerhunting, I still fumble into the occasional longrun skunkrun, and I still don't like it. But I still never giveup, no matter how frustrated and discouraged I get, I never lose sight of the fact that I am deerhunting, and it is the hunting itself that I live for.
Deerhunting is not easy. It's not supposed to be. The reason it is known to be such a killer sport is because it is extremely demanding and challenging. Success is difficult to come by, which is why we get so excited when it all comes together.
Hunt hard, hunt often, hunt smart, and never lose sight of the chase itself. Happy ThanXgiving everyday my backstrap BloodBrothers. Celebrate the sacred flesh of the mighty beasts, and thank God everyday that we are deerhunters. Never giveup! Goodluck, aim small miss small,

A few weeks ago I saw a magazine article titled "Turn over a new leaf." The background of the page was covered with various types and shades of green lettuces other than our famous iceberg. But it brought to my mind how people will use the phrase in a positive note to say, "That Jim, he's turned over a new leaf these days. I've seen him at church every Sunday since Christmas."
A few weeks ago I saw a magazine article titled "Turn over a new leaf." The background of the page was covered with various types and shades of green lettuces other than our famous iceberg. But it brought to my mind how people will use the phrase in a positive note to say, "That Jim, he's turned over a new leaf these days. I've seen him at church every Sunday since Christmas."
Unlike changing from iceberg to kale, I believe something more intense, timely and thoughtful brought Jim to church. In life, change is right beside death and taxes in being dependable, except we deal with change more often and most of us with fewer acceptances.
Change is difficult even when the new environment is supposed to be a blessed event. A newborn baby is precious, but I have never been as tired as when I was taking care of my 6-pound, 2-week-old baby girl, who turned 18 April 10. Living on caffeine and sheer fascination of my child, I passed my husband in the hallway (barely recognizing him) when he stopped me. He asked knowing how little sleep I was getting, "So, does God give women extra strength or hormones or something to help them take care of the babies?"
I looked at him, thought he was joking and was in no mood for a joke, and just as I was about to let loose with words that Grandmommy would be so disappointed to hear me say, I saw my baby's Daddy's face and realized he was serious. He did not understand how I was physically coping with the change. I caught my words and had another cup of coffee and contemplated how men could be removed from the whole birthing process.
When we see the leaves pop out on the trees, we take for granted their beauty and their strength in breaking through the branches. By the time someone says, "That Jim, he's turned over a new leaf," Jim has already done the hard work necessary to show his achievements and behavior. Only the ones who helped Jim know the struggles, pain or hardship that may have been a part of his change.
Spring is a time of year many of us think about new things. It is the season of birth and growth. Everything seems to burst at the seams. People become restless and wonder if are they doing what they were sent to this earth to accomplish. I believe strongly that everyone has a personal purpose to achieve in life. It is often difficult to identify because we are so distracted by dealing with the new leaves, changes life forces on us. But I also believe like the trees that know when to start nourishing their new leaves that if we start nourishing ourselves then we can be more prepared for dark leaves and enjoy more bright ones.
God bless the South. We are known for our friendliness. I have had many students from northern states tell me how they had to accustom themselves to cashiers talking to them and telling them to have a nice day and older men in pickup trucks tipping their hats. But guess what? These small positive conversational exchanges are very healthy. I always feel better leaving someone with a smile after a polite comment or two. Try it; it might put a little bounce in your step on a bad day.
I am a big fan of Dr. Nido Qubein, president of High Point University. Consequently I have adopted a quote from his mother, "You can be disappointed, but you cannot be discouraged." This short phrase has become my mantra the last few weeks and it will serve me the rest of my life. These wise words come from a woman with a fourth-grade education. Qubein believes in the philosophy of "live and help live." He has created a community at High Point University that models this philosophy. Just take a look at the statistics of growth at the university web page to see the success of Qubein's model.
Leaves turn easier with this kind of positive energy. A new book by Adam Grant, "Givers and Takers," discusses how in the business world the Givers, those who help others become successful, become more successful themselves as a result. But what about the negative people in the world, the mean ones? Another hero of mine, Maya Angelou, says, "People will tell you who they are the first time you meet them, believe them the first time." That advice along with Qubein's advice in his book "Seven Choices for Success," "Who you spend time with is who you become," leads me to believe that just like a copperhead snake, once I have identified you as poisonous company, bye bye.
Remember that song about the ant and the rubber tree plant. It goes, "Everyone knows an ant can't move a rubber tree plant, but he's got high hopes, he's got high hopes." Sometimes when I think I can't do another thing, I start singing this song and visualizing a little ant trying to move a big tree (I don't know what a rubber tree plant looks like so I just picture a big log). Something about this little song will give that boost I need to go that extra mile. Grandmommy's favorite song was "In the Garden." She loved to watch plants grow, and she found peace in her garden. Music can nourish your soul as you work toward your purpose and turn leaves. Find a song for your heart if you don't have one.
"Turning a new leaf" has a fresh new sound to it. But just like that green bud that changed to a beautiful birch tree leaf, there were months of nourishment and work before that leaf could turn. And most importantly, remember if you want to "turn a new leaf" gather your friends; they are just waiting to be asked to climb the tree with you.

STATE–With the official start of winter on Dec. 21, many New Jerseyans are spending an increased amount of time indoors without exposure to the sun. While they may experience some feelings of depression and anxiety as a result, they could also be suffering from a more serious medical condition known as Seasonal Affective Disorder – or SAD – if these feelings persist.
"Being confined to your home without getting enough sunlight can lead to feelings of isolation, a lack of energy, weight gain, depression and anxiety, all of which are symptoms of Seasonal Affective Disorder, a serious medical condition that, if not treated, may lead to health crisis," said Dr. Poonam Alaigh, commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services.
"Statistics show that in New Jersey, an average of 8 percent of people experience Seasonal Affective Disorder. In severe cases thoughts of suicide and aggression can result," said Jennifer Velez, Esq. Commissioner of the New Jersey Department of Human Services. "I am urging anyone who may be experiencing symptoms common to the disorder to call the Division of Mental Health Services for help."
The National Institute of Health estimates that over 36 million Americans suffer depressive symptoms brought on by the winter months. Up to 1/5 of adults in the United States have symptoms of SAD but do not meet the diagnostic criteria for the disorder. SAD typically first develops in the early twenties; however the condition can affect people of all ages. Over 70 percent of those diagnosed with the SAD are woman.
Although the exact causes of SAD are unknown, experts believe that it may be caused by a lack of sunlight upsetting the sleep-wake cycle and other circadian rhythms. This in turn affects a brain chemical called serotonin that is known to have a direct affect on mood. Additionally, Melatonin, a sleep-related hormone, also has been associated to SAD. Melatonin has been linked to depression and is produced at increased levels in the dark. In the winter, when days are shorter, more melatonin is produced.
There are many methods and treatments to successfully manage this short-term syndrome. It is important to consult your physician for any concerns you may have. In addition, people can contact the Division of Mental Health Services toll free for information and referrals at 1-800-382-6717 or through New Jersey Mental Health Cares at 1-866-202-HELP (4357).

Free download OGG to AIFF Converter, install it and launch it. Then follow the three steps to convert OGG to AIFF.
The first step is to select the files to convert ogg to aiff. Run OGG to AIFF Convertor and use the Folder Explorer to browse to the files you want to convert. Then select the file in the File List, drag it to the Drop Zone and drop it there. Optionally, the OGG to AIFF Converter allows you to edit the audio tags of any selected file in the Drop Zone.
Once the files are selected, the next step is to select the output settings in OGG to AIFF Converter.
The second step is to select the output settings. To begin, select the folder to save the output file to and choose the action to be executed if the output file already exists - create a new file, overwrite or skip the existing file.

You can choose what sample rate you want to use. 44.1 kHz (or 44100 Hz) is the sample rate used by audio CDs. Less than that and you'll start to hear the loss in quality.
Once the output settings are customized, you go to the final step - ogg to aiff conversion.

As with most container formats it encapsulates raw compressed data and allows the interleaving of audio and video data inside a single convient format. Other examples of container formats are Quicktime .mov, the MPEG program stream, and AVI. In addition to encapsulation and interleave of multiple data streams, Ogg provides packet framing, error detection, and periodic timestamps for seeking, and in a small, bounded percentage bitrate overhead. Ogg is a stream oriented container, meaning it can be written and read in one pass, making it a natural fit for internet streaming and use in processing pipelines. This stream orientation is the major design difference over other file-based container formats.

A: Audio Interchange File Format (AIFF) is an audio file format standard used for storing sound data for personal computers and other electronic audio devices. The file extension for the standard AIFF format is .aiff or .aif. For the compressed variants it is supposed to be .aifc, but .aiff or .aif are accepted as well by audio applications supporting the format. The format initially created by Apple Computer for storing and transmitting high-quality sampled audio data in 1988 based on Electronic Arts' Interchange File Format (IFF, widely used on Amiga systems) and is most commonly used on Apple Macintosh computer systems. An AIFF file contains the raw audio data, channel information (monophonic orstereophonic), bit depth, sample rate, and application-specific data areas. The application-specific data areas let different applications add informationto the file header that remains there even if the file is opened andprocessed by another application. For example, a file could retaininformation about selected regions of the audio data used for recallingzoom levels not used by other applications. The audio data in most AIFF files is uncompressed pulse-code modulation (PCM). It supports a variety of bit resolutions, sample rates, and channels of audio. This type of AIFF files uses much more disk space than lossy formats like MP3—about 10 MB for one minute of stereo audio at a sample rate of 44.1 kHz and a bit depth of 16 bits. There is also a compressed variant of AIFF known as AIFF-C or AIFC, with various defined compression codecs. In addition to audio data, AIFF can include loop point data and the musical note of a sample, for use by hardware samplers and musical applications. AIFF (Audio Interchange File Format) is one of the two most-used audio file formats used in the Apple Macintosh operating system. The other is Sound Designer II (SDII). Most CD writers can accept AIFF or SDII files interchangeably when writing a Red Book audio CD. AIFF is sometimes referred to as "Apple Interchange File Format."

MUNCIE, Ind. (AP) — Forty years ago, Larry and Vickie Mitchell welcomed the first school group to their farm.
Vickie remembers it well.
"At the end, we did a head count and we were missing one," Vickie recalled as she leaned against a fence on their 110-acre farm.
"We found him hiding under a bed. He didn't want to leave."
It still happens.
Their daughter Sara, now a teacher at Albany Elementary School, brought her students with special needs to the farm just last week.
"They cried when it was time to go home," she told The Star Press. "They didn't want to leave."
Can't say we blame them.
Larry Mitchell is a fourth-grade teacher at Monroe Central Elementary School and each fall, he brings his class out to enjoy some fun down on their Hoosier Homestead Farm.
Fun is the key word here.
"I honestly don't know why it started," Vickie said with a laugh as she organized snacks on a table. "But it quickly became a tradition."
A tradition that has not changed much — if at all — in the past four decades.
They still play pass the grapefruit. They still take the same well-worn hayride path. They still roast hot dogs in the fire pit.
And Larry wouldn't have it any other way. He serves as the MC, if you will, for the farm experience.
With an infectious laugh, Larry guides the children from his class through games that have them passing Lifesavers with toothpicks (using only their mouths) and busting balloons with their backsides.
"I enjoy it just as much as they do, every year," he said during a recent party, still dressed in a shirt and tie from the classroom.
That most recent party, on Oct. 11, included a celebration of the milestone, complete with a plaque presented to Vickie from the students.
"That's very nice; this is wonderful," she told the students who presented her with the special "Hoosier Hospitality" plaque. "I've got a special place on the wall for this."
Sara said her mom is quite the "party planner" and looks forward to the event each year.
"For a lot of kids, the only animals they see are in a zoo," Sara said. "They have never been able to pet and feed a donkey."
They feed the donkeys — Rosie, Sunshine, Daisy and Thunder — Frosted Mini Wheats, in case you were wondering.
They also get to hang out with the farm's roosters, ducks, geese and a new litter of kittens.
"We get to do a lot of activities," said Kylie Pyle, 9, as she geared up for the egg toss. Eggs, we should point out, that came from the farm's chickens.
Ryleigh Dougherty, 10, roasted her hot dog to perfection, "with just enough burnt parts," she said.
Kane Lancaster said he loved "just running around" the large grassy areas of the 110-acre farm.
Peyton Tinsman, 9, said he liked "hanging out with the donkeys" best.
His mom, Danielle, said she thinks "it's great when teachers take time to do these kinds of things with their students."
"These kids will never forget this," said Jennifer Wessner, who was there watching her kids Dorian and Cloey take it all in.

Last week Beryl and I went to Tameside's Central Art Gallery in Ashton to see the Harry Rutherford Exhibition which runs from 28 February to 8 June 2013 (though why it's in Ashton and not Hyde I don't know).
One of the paintings there, from a private collection, is of the old Bricklayers Arms on Reynold Street in Hyde.
As you may be able to make out from the name-tag on the bottom left, however, it's shown as being in Ashton. The young lady curator told me that a couple of people had already pointed out the error, so it may well by now have been corrected.

Interior Secretary Sally Jewell distributed night crawlers Monday morning among a group of excited Washington middle school students; many had never been fishing before. Some baited their hooks skittishly, while others couldn't get their lines in the water fast enough.
Jewell was celebrating National Fishing and Boating Week, highlighting conservation and outdoor recreation by going fishing with more than 200 students from the surrounding metro area on Washington's Anacostia River.
Fishing is growing in popularity in the United States. In 2011, 33.1 million people went fishing, an increase of 3.1 million people from the previous survey in 2006, according to the National Survey of Fishing, Hunting and Wildlife Associated Recreation conducted by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Fishing accounted for $41.8 billion in outdoors expenditures in 2011, according to the survey.
Even so, Jewell said, many youths haven't experienced much time in nature.
"If you talk to a lot of these kids, they've been introduced by a parent if they've been in the outdoors before," Jewell said. "For kids who don't have adults in their life to introduce them to these activities, a day like this makes all the difference. They'll remember this forever."
After speaking to the group of students at the Earth Conservation Corps Pump House on the banks of the Anacostia River, Jewell and the students boarded a boat for an hour of fishing. Joining them was Johnny Morris, founder of Bass Pro Shops and one of the guests helping the students bait their hooks.
The boat made the first of several trips down the Anacostia, under a city bridge and toward Ronald Reagan National Airport.
The excitement soon gave way to a quiet focus as the children cast their lines and waited intently, watching their bobbers during a humid, midmorning break in the clouds. Although the weather was fully cooperative, the fishing was slow on the hour-long trip.
"I wish we would've had more luck this morning," Morris said. "I told the kids this morning, though, that every day they get to spend out on the water fishing is a day they'll remember as a happy day in their life."
Morris said he wasn't concerned with the slow fishing; giving kids the opportunity to try fishing was enough to call the day a success. "They're just having fun and experiencing something," said Michael Kelley, a science teacher at the Washington Middle School for Girls. "They're learning. They're definitely learning even though they aren't in the classroom."
The group also got a close look at the Earth Conservation Corps' two osprey nests on the South Capitol Street Bridge. The return of osprey and several other birds of prey is the result of the work of several local agencies to clean up the Anacostia River and maintain healthy habitat.
The conservation group recently tagged the two osprey for tracking during the birds' annual migration to the Amazon rainforest.
The lessons of conservation and the benefits of getting outdoors dominated the conversation during the program.
"I think the importance of connecting people with nature builds healthy lives, it builds whole human beings, it provides balance. . . . You take care of places when you've been introduced to them and feel like they're yours," Jewell said. "If you've never been welcomed to the outdoors, you won't feel that."

Proprietary Software Is Often Malware
Proprietary software, also called nonfree software, means software that doesn't respect users' freedom and community. A proprietary program puts its developer or owner in a position of power over its users. This power is in itself an injustice.
The point of this page is that the initial injustice of proprietary software often leads to further injustices: malicious functionalities.
Power corrupts; the proprietary program's developer is tempted to design the program to mistreat its users. (Software whose functioning mistreats the user is called malware.) Of course, the developer usually does not do this out of malice, but rather to profit more at the users' expense. That does not make it any less nasty or more legitimate.
Yielding to that temptation has become ever more frequent; nowadays it is standard practice. Modern proprietary software is typically a way to be had.
As of September, 2018, the files in this directory list around 400 instances of malicious functionalities, but there are surely thousands more we don't know about.
Company or type of product
Type of malware
- Back doors
- Censorship
- Coverups
- Deception
- Incompatibility
- Insecurity
- Interference
- Sabotage
- Surveillance
- Subscriptions
- Tethers to servers
- Digital restrictions management or "DRM" means functionalities designed to restrict what users can do with the data in their computers.
- Jails—systems that impose censorship on application programs.
- Tyrants—systems that reject any operating system not "authorized" by the manufacturer.
- Potential Malware
Users of proprietary software are defenseless against these forms of mistreatment. The way to avoid them is by insisting on free (freedom-respecting) software. Since free software is controlled by its users, they have a pretty good defense against malicious software functionality.

BOSTON (AP) — Rajon Rondo is out of Sunday's game between the Boston Celtics and the Miami Heat with a hyperextended right knee.
Boston coach Doc Rivers did not mention the injury in his meeting with reporters about an hour before the game, but Courtney Lee started in place of the starting All-Star point guard. Doctors decided to keep Rondo out of the game after he went through his normal pregame routine, the Celtics said.
The team said Rondo was hurt late in a 123-111 double-overtime loss to the Atlanta Hawks on Friday night in which he had his fifth triple-double of the season and second in two nights with 18 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds.
The Celtics said they did not have the results of an MRI on Rondo's knee.

Prosecutor: Greed drove Blago-related shakedown
Greed and a desire to maintain his influence in Illinois politics motivated a millionaire businessman to join a plot to shake down the Oscar-winning producer of "Million Dollar Baby," prosecutors told jurors Tuesday during closing arguments at the last trial from the federal investigation of ex-Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
But William Cellini's attorney insisted prosecutors failed to prove their case beyond a reasonable doubt, in part because their star witness admitted on the stand that he was a liar and cheat whose memory was impaired by decades of drug abuse.
Cellini, 76, has denied allegations he conspired to force Hollywood executive Thomas Rosenberg into making a $1.5 million donation to the Democratic governor's campaign by threatening to withhold $220 million in teachers' pension funds from Rosenberg's investment company, Capri Capital. He could face more than 50 years in prison if convicted on charges that include conspiracy to commit fraud, extortion conspiracy and attempted extortion.
Prosecutor Julie Porter told jurors repeatedly to listen to FBI wiretaps of Cellini because they support witnesses' testimony and the tone of Cellini's voice underscores his guilt.
"That is what corruption sounds like," Porter said as she played one tape in which Cellini seems to chuckle during a discussion of the alleged shakedown.
Porter also scoffed at defense claims that Cellini may have been hoodwinked and sucked unknowingly into a plot hatched by others.
"He was not on the sidelines of an extortion," she said. "Cellini had his eyes wide open and knew exactly what was going on."
Porter alluded several times to Cellini's enormous behind-the-scenes influence in Illinois politics, saying at one point that when he left a message for top-tier officials and political leaders to call him, "They called him back."
But Cellini's attorney, Dan Webb, told the jury the government hadn't made its case. He called star witness Stuart Levine "a whack job."
Prosecutors said Cellini conspired with Levine, who sat on the board of the $30 billion Teachers' Retirement System that controlled the pensions, and two Blagojevich insiders, Tony Rezko and Chris Kelly.
Levine was the only witness to claim direct knowledge of Cellini's participation in the scheme. He admitted on the stand to cheating a close friend's estate out of $2 million. He also talked about gorging on cocaine, crystal meth and other drugs -- sometimes in binges at marathon parties.
"This man ... has lied, cheated and stole throughout his life," Webb told jurors. "And this is the man the government says you should believe?"
Webb reminded jurors that Levine conceded during cross-examination that his memory may have been damaged by his drug use, which continued through the May 2004 attempted shakedown.
Prosecutors say Cellini and the others backed off after Rosenberg unexpectedly threatened to go to authorities. Rosenberg testified he didn't initially suspect Cellini of trying to shake him down but thought Rezko and Kelly were.
Prosecutors say the plan called for Cellini to broach the subject of a donation with Rosenberg, and then the others would turn up the pressure later by asking for a donation and threatening the loss of the pension funds.
Rosenberg described screaming and cursing into the receiver during a 2004 phone conversation with Cellini, who had been Rosenberg's friend for more than 20 years.
"I told Bill I would not be shaken down," Rosenberg recalled telling Cellini. "I would not give a dime to Blagojevich under any circumstances."
No one, however, testified that Cellini ever asked Rosenberg for a contribution or threatened him -- a point Webb made repeatedly Tuesday.
Porter conceded Cellini, a life-long Republican, would not have pocketed any of the money. But she said he hoped to ingratiate himself to Rezko and Kelly -- two of the closest and most powerful confidants in the new Democratic governor's administration.
His motive for taking part in the scheme, she said, was "continued access, continued clout, continued status."

The revelation of a "smudge left on tampered medicine recovered after the 1982 Tylenol murders" was made by the Daily Herald, ABC7's newspaper partner, in Saturday's editions.
The Daily Herald quoted an ex-state official involved in the original investigation of the seven Tylenol murders, who spoke only with a guarantee of anonymity.
"The retired Illinois official who spoke about the 'smudge' evidence is no longer involved in the investigation" reported the Herald. "The official said advances in DNA and fingerprint technology may make that 'smudge' evidence relevant today."
According to the report, the former official-a supervisor of the 1982 investigation-had focused on Lewis as the probable killer. "We were always convinced he did it," the official told the Daily Herald.
On Wednesday, Lewis turned over DNA, fingerprint and samples following a subpoena from a DuPage County grand jury, according to investigators familiar with the 28-year-old case.
Law enforcement sources say Lewis and his wife, LeAnn, appeared before a Massachusetts judge on Wednesday to determine whether they both had to abide by the grand jury order.
After a Middlesex County Superior judge told them they had to obey the subpoena, both Lewises complied before leaving the courthouse.
"I will have no comment on that," DuPage County State's Attorney Joe Birkett told the ABC7 I-Team when reached by phone on Friday afternoon. "I just won't comment," said Birkett, whose office could prosecute any murder charges brought in the case because several of the killings occurred in DuPage.
The cases could also be brought in Cook County, where poisoning murders also took place.
In Cook County Friday afternoon, a spokesman for State's Attorney Anita Alvarez told the I-Team, "the cases remain open." State's Attorney spokesman Andy Conklin declined to discuss the Tylenol killings cases, including whether Chicago prosecutors will share the DNA and fingerprint samples provided by the Lewis'.
There is no federal murder statute but the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been aiding and assisting metro Chicago law enforcement for nearly 28 years, attempting to solve the haunting crimes.
"The investigation into the 1982 Tylenol killings is still ongoing," said FBI Special Agent Ross Rice in response to reports that Lewis and his wife had been served subpoenas for their DNA and fingerprints.
Agent Rice, assigned to the Chicago FBI field office, announced a year ago that a team of law enforcement officers was executing search warrants on the Lewis residence outside Boston.
"No arrests have been made and no criminal charges filed," Rice told the I-Team on Friday, neither confirming - nor denying - that there has been a new turn in the investigation.
Investigators working on the case, who asked not to be identified because of grand jury secrecy laws, said that the case is focused on returning state murder charges in Illinois. The investigation is complicated by the passage of time and the distance between Chicago - where the crimes were committed - and Boston, where the prime suspect and his wife reside.
That has resulted in cumbersome court arrangements and numerous jurisdictional hurdles, say law enforcement sources.
The first report of the Lewises' court appearance was in a small suburban Boston newspaper.
"The couple arrived in the front corridor of the courthouse at 8:45 a.m. and were briefly interviewed by one of our Somerville News/Cambridge News Weekly correspondents and later by FBI agents as well as by local authorities, who escorted the couple to the hearing room," stated the story.
The Lewises were cooperative with agents a during last year's search of their home but providing fingerprints and DNA samples would reflect a sharp escalation in tactics by the authorities.
James Lewis, 63, has a Boston lawyer who declined even to confirm that the hearing took place.
"Proceedings such as that reported by the Somerville News, to the extent that they occur, are supposed to be secret precisely to protect the reputations of innocent people like James Lewis and his wife," attorney David Meier told the Globe. Meier, the former long time head of the homicide unit of the Suffolk district attorney's office said, "to comment further would be irresponsible, unprofessional, and unethical."
Poisoned medicine killed four women, two men and a child during the random spree. The dead included a 12-year-old Elk Grove Village girl, an Arlington Heights postal worker and his brother and sister-in-law from Lisle, a Chicago flight attendant and an Elmhurst woman.
Lewis was sentenced to prison in June 1983 for demanding $1 million from Johnson & Johnson, parent of Tylenol manufacturer McNeil Consumer Products Co., "to stop the killing.''
In interviews with the I-Team over the years, Lewis has admitted sending the extortion demands but has always denied the killings. In one interview with us he said that the "Tylenol murderer is still dancing in the streets."
After Mr. Lewis was released from prison in the Tylenol extortion matter, he was not free of trouble with the law. In 2004, after moving to the Boston area, Lewis was charged with rape and kidnapping for an alleged attack on a woman in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The charges were dropped three years later.

T-Mobile told us carrier billing for Android apps was coming and we speculated it could arrive by December 11. They surprised us by quietly pushing the update out last night. Beginning December 9, T-Mobile and Google began rolling out a new Android Market update which should be complete by December 30.
We have no word if rooted phones can receive this update, but my guess is no. It is also interesting that this particular update is being pushed out invisible.
If you have receive this update, please let us know. I'm working to get my hands on some actual screens right now.
Details of the update include:
- The Market application update will be invisible to you. No steps are necessary to receive the update!
- To ensure that the update is received by all users T-Mobile and Google will stagger the update. You should expect to have the Market update by 12/30/2009.
- Once you receive the update you will be able to purchase paid applications using your credit card or your T-Mobile account.
- Reminder: Any applications uninstalled within 24 hours will NOT be charged to your T-Mobile account or credit card.
Frequently asked questions from the T-Mobile forums:
How do I know that I received the update?
Since the update is invisible you will not be proactively advised that you have received the update. The easiest way to verify that you received the update is to attempt to make a purchase. If you see the following payment options you have received the update:
You can also check your Android Market version using the following procedure:
- Access Settings.
- Click Applications.
- Click Manage Applications.
- Scroll to and click the Market application.
- Verify that the Market version is greater than 1660.
Can I get the update early?
The Market update will be released in phases with everyone receiving the update by 12/30/2009. T-Mobile does not have the ability to deliver the update on demand. The Market application will request an update periodically when it is launched to ensure that you have the most up to date version. In order to guarantee that your Market application is requesting updates always close the market when you are finished using it.
Why can't I purchase an application that's in Euros or Pounds?
You can still purchase an application that is not in US Dollars but you need to use a credit card. T-Mobile and Google are working on a solution to properly convert these applications into US Dollars. Until then you can only bill applications that have a US Dollar amount to your T-Mobile account.
