The decades-old battle for computing supremacy between Microsoft and Apple is about to shift from your desktop to your dashboard.
The car is the latest battleground for the two tribes to stake a claim for the hearts, minds and wallets of consumers, with carmakers being forced to take sides in a bid to try to pick which will become the must-have voice recognition technology.
It's like Blu-Ray versus HD DVD all over again - or VHS versus Beta, if you're old enough to remember it. It's worth remembering, too, that Microsoft is currently trying to crash Apple's party elsewhere by bringing out its own smartphone to take on the phenomenally popular iPhone.
It turns out that talk isn't cheap, with both computing giants spending up big to try to gain traction and widespread acceptance in an environment in which neither has previously been a player.
In one corner of the fight for in-car supremacy is Apple, which has signed up the likes of Toyota, GM (which owns Holden), Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Audi, Chrysler, Honda, Jaguar and Land Rover to its team.
In the other corner is Microsoft, bolstered by the small but potent trio of Ford, Hyundai and Kia.
Apple this week announced it would make its "Siri" voice recognition system available to its nine manufacturers, incorporating the technology utilised in the iPhone4S.
A steering wheel-mounted button is expected to operate the system that will be able to control most non-driving functions such as audio, phone, ventilation, navigation and displays.
It is expected to be able to understand and react to natural speech, rather than a limited number of staccato commands that many current systems require. It will also be calibrated to work in spite of background interference such as engine and tyre noise, and windscreen wiper operation.
Meanwhile, Microsoft has been working on its own version of voice recognition software. Ford already has voice recognition embedded in many of its current models and also worked with Microsoft to develop Sync, an all-in-one car control systemfitted primarily to cars in the US but coming to Australia soon.
The latest generation of Sync was plagued with problems on its release early last yearbut is now selling well in the US, albeit still lacking the hype and must-have buzz that Apple manages to generate for its suite of products.
Microsoft has another string to its bow that Apple doesn't, however, with significant experience in gesture control via its Xbox Kinect gaming system.
But with the push towards voice control driven by a desire to keep the driver's hands on the steering wheel and attention focused on the road, it's not yet known how gesture control might translate to performing in-car functions.
Forbes magazine speculates that Ford's deal with Microsoft precludes it from talking with Apple, and that Ford may have deliberately chosen to tread a different path to most of its direct rivals - such as Toyota and GM - in a bid to create a point of difference for itself.
Sound the bell. It's time for round one of Voice Wars.

The collision in northern Texas left one injured and three missing Tuesday morning.
The Oakland, Calif. City Council passed an ordinance to ban the storage and handling of coal and coke at bulk terminals in the city, representing the latest blow to Terminal Logistics Solutions' plan for a dry bulk terminal to handle coal and other goods.
The Ocean Carrier Equipment Management Association said that a key benefit of the terminal weighing approach is that shippers will not be required to perform any additional actions in order to provide the verified gross mass of containers.
Registration takes less than 1 minute.
Recently purchased APL parent Neptune Orient Lines couldn't cut costs fast enough to compete in an increasingly commoditized market, chief executive Ng Yat Chung said in a surprisingly candid interview with Singapore's Straits Times.
The accumulation of high value cargo will increase as bigger ships gather for passage through the newly expanded Central American waterway, increasing insurance risk, according to a new report from Allianz Global Corporate & Specialty.
The first commercial passage of a neopanamax containership through the new locks and third lane of the canal will occur on Sunday with the 9,472-TEU COSCO Shipping Panama.

Better Business
A sacked Nelson City Council worker has won a long, hard fight to prove her axing was unjustified.
Robyn Hutchison, who was employed in May 2011 as a part-time executive assistant and dismissed seven months later, ran into several roadblocks but pursued her grievance to the Employment Court.
Judge Bruce Corkill has found her dismissal was unjustified and that the council's actions throughout the process in 2011 were "procedurally and substantially flawed". He also found the council had not been a fair and reasonable employer.
Judge Corkill also found an aspect of Hutchison's conduct during her employment had been lacking, and that she had breached her good faith obligations. He therefore reduced the remedies awarded to her, which included payment for lost wages [including interest] from December 21, 2011 to March 21 2012, which were reduced by 30 per cent.
She was also awarded $8400 for humiliation, loss of dignity and injury to feelings, when $30,000 in remedies was initially sought.
The council said yesterday it accepted the court's decision and would not be appealing.
Hutchison, who now lives in Wellington and continues to work as an executive assistant, said after the release of the decision yesterday, that she was battle-weary but relieved her mission was complete.
The case was focused on her claims of "shameful workplace bullying" and efforts to remedy an untenable workplace environment. The council argued that her actions were serious enough to have destroyed confidence in her ability to remain with it.
Things turned sour soon after she was employed, but the tipping point was the treatment of a former colleague at a work performance meeting in which she was asked to take notes.
Hutchison became "very distressed" about her circumstances as well as those of the colleague. Details surrounding the former colleague, known as Mr J, who died in September 2011, cannot be published.
The council's case against Hutchison was that she breached a duty of good faith by sending work emails to her home email address, that she had breached confidentiality by making a statement to the police, at the behest of the coroner, and another breach by undertaking secondary employment.
Judge Corkill said when drawing all aspects together, he found the decision to dismiss her was "beyond that which a fair and reasonable employer could have done in all the circumstances at the time".
He said that since none of the serious misconduct conclusions was appropriate, and that there were "serious procedural defects", the dismissal was unjustifiable.
Hutchison told the Nelson Mail the process had highlighted how difficult it was for aggrieved employees to get to the stage she had. She has fought mainly alone but lauded the help from Wellington's Community Law Centre, and former Nelson police inspector Hugh Flower, who represented her at the recent court hearing.
"If you haven't got access to funds it gets quite scary. That's why people back off early.
"I've no regrets and it's been a long, arduous road, but I weighed up the cost of not doing it was greater than the cost of doing it.
"Most of us have mountains to climb in life and with that knowledge, it gave me the confidence and the tenacity to proceed."
Hutchison felt she had opened the door to effecting positive change by getting the critical issues into the public domain.
Council chief executive Clare Hadley, who was not in charge at the time Hutchison was dismissed, did not doubt that it had been a difficult process for everyone involved.
"As the employer, I am proud to lead this organisation, and the 220 staff that contribute every day to making Nelson a better place. Staff know that I am committed to knowing who they are, what they do, and working with them to address their concerns, and action suggestions on how to make this a better place to work."

Metro DC Book Meetup Club Message Board › New Meetup: December Book Discussion - The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
user 2301637
Alexandria, VA
Announcing a new Meetup for Metro DC Book Meetup Club!
What: December Book Discussion - The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
When: Wednesday, December 15, 2010 6:30 PM
Where: Elephant & Castle
1201 Pennsylvania Ave NW
Washington, DC 20004
(202) 347-7707
For December we will be reading a classic Noir Mystery novel The Maltese Falcon by Dashiell Hammett
From Amazon.com Review
Sam Spade, Dashiell Hammett's archetypally tough San Francisco detective, is more noir than L.A. Confidential and more vulnerable than Raymond Chandler's Marlowe. In The Maltese Falcon, the best known of Hammett's Sam Spade novels (including The Dain Curse and The Glass Key), Spade is tough enough to bluff the toughest thugs and hold off the police, risking his reputation when a beautiful woman begs for his help, while knowing that betrayal may deal him a new hand in the next moment.
Spade's partner is murdered on a stakeout; the cops blame him for the killing; a beautiful redhead with a heartbreaking story appears and disappears; grotesque villains demand a payoff he can't provide; and everyone wants a fabulously valuable gold statuette of a falcon, created as tribute for the Holy Roman Emperor Charles IV. Who has it? And what will it take to get it back? Spade's solution is as complicated as the motives of the seekers assembled in his hotel room, but the truth can be a cold comfort indeed.
Spade is bigger (and blonder) in the book than in the movie, and his Mephistophelean countenance is by turns seductive and volcanic. Sam knows how to fight, whom to call, how to rifle drawers and secrets without leaving a trace, and just the right way to call a woman "Angel" and convince her that she is. He is the quintessence of intelligent cool, with a wise guy's perfect pitch. If you only know the movie, read the book. If you're riveted by Chinatown or wonder where Robert B. Parker's Spenser gets his comebacks, read the master. --Barbara Schlieper

A mixed review,
Verified Purchase(What is this?)
This review is from: The Story Of The Weeping Camel [2004] [DVD] (DVD)
Here's the scoop. My wife & kids loved it and would certainly have given it 5 stars. And all of her friends & friends kids loved it as well. So maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, but I found it to be a relatively lame production, which tries to make up with an exotic atmosphere what it lacks in plot and character. I didn't hate it by any means, but it just didn't work for me.

Media Notes
Published January 29, 2013
TOUGH TO SAY GOODBYE: In St. Louis, Don Reed notes coverage of the funeral for late Baseball HOFer Stan Musial on Saturday "did not translate into huge television ratings." The proceedings were shown "live on five local TV outlets, but the combined rating (12.7) was less than the number many marquee Cardinals regular-season games draw and even fell short of the lowest-rated Rams game (14.5) last year." Another "twist -- none of the individual stations that carried the services beat the 6.4 rating the Pro Bowl generated locally Sunday night" (ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH, 1/29).
HANG TEN: L.A. Times columnist Bill Plaschke said the "competing" by the players in the NFL Pro Bowl was "enough for another solid TV rating." Plaschke: "You know as many people watch the Pro Bowl as watch baseball's World Series. So we all complain about it, (Roger) Goodell complains about it and says they need to play harder, but people watch the game" ("Around The Horn," ESPN, 1/28). ESPN's Eamon McAnaney said, "As long as the network is going to show it the NFL is going to play" ("The Wheelhouse," SportsNet N.Y., 1/28).
KAY WILL STAY: YES Network announced broadcaster Michael Kay has signed a multiyear extension with the net to remain its lead Yankees play-by-play voice. Kay joined YES in '02 (YES). NBCSPORTS.com's Craig Calcaterra wrote, "I know some people like to nitpick him, but (a) just about every broadcaster can be nitpicked; and (b) Kay, even if he isn't your cup of tea, has always seemed pretty solid to me." The key is "whether someone is actively assaulting," and Kay "is not that" (NBCSPORTS.com, 1/28).

Having a Strong Spirit is Secret Key to Success
One of the secret reasons for success is simply the possession of spirit. In horse racing, the greater spirit of a horse is recognized by other horses, and they are actually affected by it and become discouraged, thereby allowing themselves to be beaten. They may even be stronger physically and yet still diminish their use of strength in such a case. This spirit is a fundamental vital strength possessed by all living things in differing degrees. You may develop this spirit and strengthen it in yourself to be powerful.
Another name for spirit is will because they are both one. You can train yourself in the use of your will to get a hold of your mental throttle, so that you may pull it down and turn on a full head of steam when necessary. In other words, you may power up or power down whenever you need to. When you are able to access the powered up state, you will find that you are not any more tired when running under full pressure than when you are moving at a slow pace. This is the key to unlimited power in action.

How Gaga's Heelless Shoes Get Made (No Actual Magic Involved, Really!)
It looks like Noritaka Tatehana's heelless, physics-defying platform shoe is the kind of footwear that's a favorite of more than just those who can also afford to hire a human walking stick to lean on (read: Lady Gaga and Daphne Guinness).
Susie Bubble stopped by the Nortika's studio to see how one of these "heels" are created, and even though we always thought the process involved prayer and perhaps a newt's eye or three, it's mostly just typical cobbler's tools and lots of really strong glue. Using a calligraphy brush, Noritaka paints on layers of cementing glue, hammers on the sole, and executes some (very secret) forces of engineering that get the platform as high as it can be. Check out the step-by-step photos that Susie snapped, and try to guess what the secret to the platform can be. Hedge your bets, below! (Style Bubble)

March 7, 2013
Climate scientists have suggested that methane leakage during filling and transfer operations, possible with a wide-scale switch from diesel to natural gas as heavy truck fuel, could contribute more to global warming than the benefit of switching from diesel to natural gas would achieve.

John Lackey, maybe you heard, is in the second year of a five-year, $82.5 million contract. He's the highest-paid pitcher in Red Sox history by kind of a lot (I think 14 million bucks is kind of a lot, anyway).
And as he gets ready to take the mound on Monday night against Josh Tomlin (11-5, 4.07 ERA while making about 1/24th of Lackey's 2011 salary) it is absolutely fair to call the first 16 months of John Lackey's tenure in Boston an epic failure. A spectacular wipeout. "Cowboys & Aliens" with a lousy WHIP.
How bad has it been? Well, think about this: In his eight years in Anaheim -- which now almost has a "Vin Baker in Milwaukee" feel to it -- Lackey had an ERA of 3.81. Not worth $82.5 million, but not too shabby, right?
Well, Lackey just finished July with an ERA of 4.61 and a WHIP of 1.61. That ERA was 89th among all MLB starters for the month, and the WHIP was 122nd (out of 144).
So, John Lackey was in the bottom 10-15 percent of all major league starters in July.
And it was his best month of the season.
Look, I've written this before -- it's always important to remember that there are things going on in Lackey's personal life that are very likely playing a factor in his struggles. And John Lackey didn't walk into Theo's office in December 2009 with a gun and demand $82 million. We get it.
And I think most fans understand that Lackey -- now an even 50 starts into his Sox career with an ERA of 4.96 and WHIP of 1.47 -- will never be the guy Theo tried to sell us on when he was signed. That's not going to happen.
But Lackey has a change for redemption. A chance to start over. A chance to earn his keep, even.
It sounds like Clay Buchholz isn't going to pitch again this season. That leaves a serious hole in the rotation. Sure, Erik Bedard was brought in, but we are talking about a guy who has started a total of 46 games over the last three years and on Friday gave up five runs in 1 1/3 IP in his first start in about a month. This isn't exactly Cliff Lee, redux.
But it speaks to the confidence -- or lack of it -- regarding both the health of Buchholz and the ability of Lackey to be the No. 3 starter in a postseason series that this move had to be made. The Sox gave up a couple of legitimate prospects (Chih-Hsien Chiang had an OPS of 1.050 at Portland) to bring in a very good but almost always hurt Erik Bedard.
And they didn't make the Bedard deal because Andrew Miller is terrible or because Bad Tim Wakefield is always lurking. The Red Sox know they are in a position that allows them to make the playoffs with substandard fourth and fifth starters the rest of the regular season.
The Bedard trade, of course, wasn't made for August or September. We know that. And Bedard could turn out to be a miss, three starts and hello to the DL. But it was a trade that had to be made, and not just because of Buchholz.
Think about it: If John Lackey was your classic No. 3 starter to date -- think an ERA around 4.00 -- how much different would you feel about the chances of the Sox to win the World Series? I still think they are -- at worst -- second favorite to the Phillies, but that no-doubt No. 3 guy is all that's really missing. The lineup, Lester/Beckett and Bard/Papelbon? Not a weakness to be found.
But if we can assume Buchholz is out for the season and the Red Sox are done making moves when it comes to adding starting pitching (I think both are at least pretty safe assumptions), well, a potential weakness suddenly emerges.
John Lackey is going to be part of the postseason rotation.
No way around it. You are going to see Lackey in October. Could be Game 3 or Game 4, but get ready for Lackey in an immense playoff spot.
And we arrive at redemption.
If Lackey pitches well in the playoffs -- nobody is thinking Bob Gibson, but something close to the Lackey that we saw in the postseason over the last decade -- and the Sox win the World Series, nothing else will have mattered. His Red Sox career would no longer be defined by showing up teammates or Terry Francona or a 6.00 ERA or his failure to take postgame responsibility for a loss.
He'd instead become Derek Lowe circa 2004, a disaster for six months and then a hero forever (OK, or at least until Lackey gets bombed in a May start, bitches out Pedroia for botching a grounder and blames the eight runs in 2 2/3 IP on an inconsistent strike zone).
Do I think Lackey is going to pitch well in the postseason? Nope. No real evidence over the last year and a half to make me think he can put together three or four superior starts against the likes of the Yankees and Rangers (we're still at the stage, after all, where Lackey can give up 11 hits and four runs in 5 2/3 IP vs. the Royals and the spin is that it's another step forward).
But thanks to injury and failure of others to step up and make a case (if Miller is just OK, you've got a Game 4 controversy) you've got a clear scenario.
John Lackey in October.
It will either be redemption or confirmation.
For sure.

If You Want to Win, Help Others Win First
When I was a kid, my dad taught me the most important principle of my life: "Give value: Do more than is expected." It has been the foundation of my success.
Related: Rohn: 7 Personality Traits of a Great Leader
From day one, we encounter competition on the playground and in the classroom. Later we compete with others for educational benefits, careers and promotions. We are wired to compete, and that often leads to a mindset of trying to "one-up" others. But truly smart achievers help others win, which directly impacts the speed of results they experience.
Now that I'm aware of this idea, I teach it to others. Often when I'm making a presentation, I'll facilitate input. If someone says something that is very valuable, I have two choices: I can gloss over it by saying something like "that's a good idea," and then spout my ideas, or I can have a much greater impact with my audience—and especially with that individual—if I compliment the person and encourage him or her to share more. I might say, "Wow! That's really a great idea, Bob! Tell us more." By doing so, I create a triple win: Bob wins (I let him shine), the other audience members win (they have received valuable input from someone other than me), and I win (I gained trust, respect and rapport by letting someone else shine).
To be the best, have the best and deliver the best results, you must be completely comfortable and confident that you will win when you help others win. If you want to see amazing results, embed this philosophy in your life and your organization.

Des Moines, Iowa Branch
Laura Walth, NLAPW National Outreach Chair, met with Congressman David Young from the Third District of Iowa when she was in Washington DC for her first Board of Directors meeting. She introduced the concept of promoting the arts in schools by sharing with him the guide, "Creating Students who Soar Higher Through the Poetry in the Schools Project," created by the Pikes Peak Branch in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
The Congressman was also open to visiting the Des Moines Branch of NLAPW when he is in Des Moines for the weekend. Laura believes it is important to close the gap between political parties when it comes to supporting the arts in education. We as Pen Women can help promote the arts by reaching out to our congressman to let them know we are here to help regardless of their political affiliation.
Also from the Des Moines, Iowa Branch:
Elaine Erickson won first place in the 2016 48th Biennial Music Competition. Elaine received the NLAPW National award at the Des Moines Iowa Branch meeting May 14th at the Des Moines Social Club.
The title of Elaine Erickson's music composition for flute and piano is December Celebration. It was performed at the Iowa Composers Forum Music Festival at the University of Northern Iowa, March 2015, and at the Westkirk Presbyterian Church in January 2016. The theme running through her piece is a Christmas song called, "Of the Father's Love Begotten". There are dissonant atonal passages in this piece that resolve into that tune like darkness moving to light.
2016 Biennial Music Competition winners
1st place : Elaine Erickson, Des Moines Branch for "December Celebration"

Minnesota Branch
Member Marjorie Alexander shares her news (Minnesota Branch Newsletter, May 2016):
My piece, "The Web" was chosen for the current National Pen Women exhibit in Washington, DC. I believe it is on exhibit at the Democratic Club in Washington. Also, I just heard that my entry into the NLAPW art exhibit has been accepted. I am awaiting instructions of sending the piece into Washington. The second piece is in a juried exhibit held in Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada. It is a book illustrating the poem Birches, a poem by Robert Frost. The title of the exhibit is "Words."

The Bipartisan Policy Center last week launched a new initiative to find a politically and fiscally viable way to improve the financing and delivery of long-term care.
The new Long-Term Care Initiative is led by former Senate Majority Leaders Tom Daschle and Bill Frist, former White House and Congressional Budget Office Director Alice Rivlin and former Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson.
"Nearly 70% of Americans who reach age 65 will, at some point, be unable to care for themselves without assistance," said Daschle, who added that issues of long-term care also affect missions of younger Americans with cognitive or physical limitations
Frist noted that the number of Americans estimated to need long-term services and supports is expected to double to about 27 million by 2050. "Today's 65-year-old Baby Boomers are relatively healthy but will have problems in 20 years," he said, adding that solving the issue can be challenging as there are also fewer family caregivers today, insufficient household savings and strained state and federal budgets.
Thompson said as a former governor and HHS secretary "I've had the opportunity to look at this problem in many different ways. People don't realize that states really are going to be left holding the financial problem and trying to find the solutions. One-third of the Medicaid budget…is what's required to take care of the long-term care problem."
The new initiative over the next eight months plans to look at a variety of issues, including the structure of the private insurance market especially focusing on long-term care insurance. Daschle said in seeking solutions the initiative would be "drawing upon the excellent work of the Long-Term Care Commission" and looking to others involved in public policy and elsewhere.
"We recognize that policy solutions are not going to be easy" and will include a variety of approaches including legislative and regulatory change, he said.
Rivlin, who said she lives in a senior village, noted that she wrote a book in 1988 about who will pay for long-term care and to this day "we haven't come closer to solving the problem. …The question is at the intersection of family and private responsibility and public responsibility."
In a later panel, Anne Tumlinson with Avalere advised listeners to expand their minds "if you think long-term care is about a little old lady," adding that it's really an issue for families and beyond.

Recent reviews
Good 3.8 /5 from 93 reviews
We had a nice stay. The room was quite large for European standards. Was a short walk from one tram stop away from the central station. We were allowed to check in early, which was convenient. There was a wifi problem and it didn't work the last day we were there:
Rooms outdated, looks like senior retirement room, very noise (nightclub near proximity) sauna good Sorry because personnel and service were excellent except no wifi in rooms Need revamp structure and new design
very friendly staff and I will stay there again.
I primarily selected this hotel for its convenient location on the Ring. There are lots of bars, restaurants in this area. The hotel lies a relatively short (5 minutes max) walk from the Friesenplatz U-Bahn station. The staff are friendly and polite. The rooms have a horse racing themed decor to them (hence the name of the hotel), which comes off quite well - although is a little dated. The rooms are clean.
Not very clean. Staff very helpful. Great location in party district.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us
