Sony has patented the 'PS Cloud' with the US Patent and Trademark Office, following the announcement of a number of new 'cloud gaming' services such as OnLive and Playcast Media at this year's Games Developers Conference.
The patent has lead to speculation that Sony Computer Entertainment may well be looking to 'cloud gaming' – where the processing power of a home console is replaced by that of a remote server outside of the gamer's home – as a strategic move forward for its PlayStation division.
The future of PlayStation?
Or, put in more straightforward terms, is PS Cloud the PlayStation 4? Is the 'next' PlayStation going to resemble a server-based system that allows gamers to play and save games to a user account via a range of devices such as their PlayStation 3, their PC or even their TV set-top box?
Sony filed the patent for 'PS Cloud' on 24 March, describing PS Cloud as a provider of "entertainment services, namely, providing an online videogame that users may access through the internet".
You can see further details on the filing here.
TechRadar spoke with a SCEE rep this morning who declined to comment on the story.
Let the speculation commence…

Paramount buries Dune remake
Worm-riding, sweat-drinking spice war epic on hold
The planned Paramount Pictures movie adaptation of Frank Herbert's Dune has been cancelled.
The attempt to get the 1965 sci-fi classic once again adapted for the silver screen came to nothing after more than a year of development. Paramount had recruited Taken helmsman Pierre Morel to direct.
Richard Rubinstein, who controls the rights to the book, explained: "Paramount's option has expired and we couldn't reach an agreement. I'm going to look at my options, and whether I wind up taking the script we developed in turnaround, or start over, I'm not sure yet."
The script in question was knocked together by Morel and Chase Palmer, and they apparently "cut the mammoth subject matter down to a compelling story that could be told at feature length".
Rubinstein said he'll probably talk to both men with a view to resurrecting the project, which will need someone with very deep pockets to fund its estimated $100m production budget. ®

An event held in incredible scenic conditions came to an end yesterday, with Lake Silvaplan, the worlds highest kiteboarding spot, providing sufficient wind for all disciplines.
Snow covered mountains set the scenery for the fourth stop of the Kite Tour Europe in Switzerland, and the thermal winds did not fail to deliver.
The event kicked off on Friday July 2, and from noon on the wind built nicely from 14-19 knots. Enough to push through the complete single elimination and after a short break directly going into the doubles. But - the mountains can not only provide thermal winds, they also can provide thunderstorms and heavy rain, forcing the competition to put on hold. In the end it was only possible to complete the first few heats of the doubles, meaning that the result of the single elimination stands.
Alberto Rondina (ITA, Cabrinha) was facing Mario Rodwald (GER, North) in the finals, after defeating Christophe Tack (BEL, Liquid Force). The second semi final was between Rodwald and Permien (GER, Kitefactory), a pairing which is usually seen on every german tour stop in the finals.
It was Rondina with the better performance in the end, leaving Rodwald in second and Permien in third, after two thrilling final heats.
In the womens competition, Nicky Rudd (GBR, Rudd) and Kathrin Borgward (GER, F.One) proved that they did a lot of training after the last events, both making it into the losers final. Rudd had the better end, but both showed an impressive performance.
The finals then where between current tour leader Celine Collaud (SUI, JN) and Ania Grzelinska (POL, North). After ten minutes the five international judges crowned Ania Grzelinska to the winner of Lake Silvaplana, her first success on the European Tour.
Before the final stage in Swinemunde/Poland, in both mens and womens fleet the top four riders are close enough to become the first European Champion in Freestyle. Celine Collaud is only four points ahead of Johara Sykes-Davis (GBR, Flexifoil), and in the mens fleet Rondina is only 3 points ahead, with the top 5 so close together that each of them could make it.
After the Freestyle was completed, the race committee called for course racing on the next morning, but several thunderstorms and rain killed the thermal wind - resulting in several start attemps which then where abandoned seconds before the start.
The waiting game continued on the final day of the competition, with not much hope for wind. Despite blue sky and high temperatures a northern flow worked against the southern Majora winds.
To save all chances for a race on the final day, the race committee already had extended the time for the last possible warning signal on the day before, setting it to 14:30 hours, only 90 minuted before the scheduled price giving ceremony.
And - sometimes the wind gods mean it well. A light breeze was building at 14:00 hours, and race director Markus Schwendtner took the last opportunity and called all riders out for a warning signal at 14:30 hours. The wind had build to 12-13 knots by that time, and the first and only race of the competition went well underway, seeing Bruno Sroka (FRA, Cabrinha) taking first place ahead of Rolf vd Vlugt (NED, Airush) and Bjorn Rune Jensen (DEN, Cabrinha). Katja Roose (NED; Airush) won the womens fleet another time.
While Katja Roose is clear ahead of her competitors, the final event in Poland will see the decision between Bjorn Rune Jensen and Bruno Sroka, which is only one point ahead - meaning that the winner in Poland will take the European Tour crown by the tie break rules.

Ebola Vehicle DECON
Ebola apparently is everywhere is the world these days, and it does not discriminate. It cares not about race, age or the physical size of its host. It simply wants to spread freely and make the daily headlines all around the globe.
My oldest son who attends middle school watched a video today about Ebola and its origins, my elementary school son, well, he just watches it on the television and reads the headlines…….the radio is also broadcasting about the victims, the EMS workers, nurses and airplane travel and this diseases incessant desire to spread.
Living in Orlando, Florida with an International Airport just miles away, I wonder how quickly Ebola will take to arrive here. Customs won't stop it, the TSA is helpless and the police, nah…..once it sneaks in, its here for the long haul. Now don't let this panic you, the big pharmacy companies are promising a drug, a cure, a miracle on its way. The million dollar question is, who will it be made available to first? Can I get it, can your kids, your pets? Only time will tell, but I think it will be a long time before the PILL becomes readily available…..I hope I'm wrong.
The one certainty is that once Ebola makes its way into the Sunshine state, it will spread quickly, of this I am positive. Patients will have to be transported to safe zones, quarantine areas and wherever else the City decides to house them. It wont be fun……..scary yes, but fun, NO! Healthcare workers who were already wearing their PPE (Personal protection equipment) have now been diagnosed….so what of the man on the street who has the perfect exposure risk made available?
Moving forward—The Winter Park Fire/Rescue organization, a nearby city of Orlando, now has three ambulances equipped with self contained, built-in decontamination units – coming in the wake of an international Ebola virus scare. The units feature pressurized pumps, which release a decontamination mist inside the patient area of the ambulance. It takes about 15 minutes for the mist to cover all the surface area inside and break the chain of infection. Initially built for another service, this process will hopefully set the standard for rescue and emergency medical workers who travel to areas where contamination is possible.
It's inventor, AeroClave founder Dr. Ronald Brown, recently showed me the testing methods of his built in decontamination unit, at his office in Winter Park, Florida. Viruses with similar characteristics to Ebola have been tested with positive results that show the pathogens are erased. A small disk which contains spores is placed throughout the vehicle, inside of gear bags and drawers, and then misted. The disk is taken out after the process has been completed and then tested to see if the spores were killed. In all the cases he showed me, they were. Everyday AeroClave is bringing in city and county vehicles from other agencies to "clean them out". If it is currently available, why haven't I heard about other states trying to benefit from this service? Are they tone deaf, don't read social media, broke, or just scared to call….
I surely hope this process and his installed units gain some followers in the near future. I for one, would feel much safer traveling in the back of an ambulance that I know was decontaminated after the last medical call had ended. I don't know who was in the back of the truck prior to me. I'm sure the workers themselves would also feel much safer knowing that they can mist the back of the ambulance after every call. I for one, enjoy coming home to my boys every night, and surely don't want the Ebola virus to come calling unexpectedly.

Now that our local farmer's markets are officially up and running I've made some dedicated time for weekly treks, which is a habit I have to work at – not at all because I don't WANT bags full of fresh, local, just-harvested bounty.
No, it's just when life gets too busy I let trips to the farmer's market fall by the wayside, which I always regret.
Amazingly, I also planted out two raised vegetable beds this spring. The actual frames were built and ready to be cultivated two whole summers ago, but guess what?
I found myself distracted with work, family, travel…and by the time I was free to play in the garden it was already late June; way too hot for me.I blame the heat and humidity for making me a lazy gardener, a slacker person who grew a lush crop of weeds last year.
This week the market was full of gorgeous greens; spinach, baby lettuces, pea shoots and salad greens like the huge head of romaine I found at Terra Bella's stand that inspired this salad.
I improvised a favorite chipotle caesar dressing recipe from Sara Foster, influencing the flavors toward Spain with smoky pimenton paprika, chickpeas and marcona almonds.
Smoky Spanish Caesar Salad
Zesty red pepper Caesar dressing with cheese and almonds.
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon sherry or red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon smoked Spanish paprika
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup oil ( I use 1/2 cup each olive & organic canola oil)
- 1/4 cup grated aged Manchego cheese or Parmesan
- Romaine lettuce leaves
- Marcona almonds
- Chickpeas, cracked with the back of a knife
- Manchego cheese
- Using a blender or food processor, mix everything up to the oil until blended; then slowly pour in the oil with the motor running. The dressing should become thick and creamy.
- Add the cheese and pulse to mix it in. You can thin the dressing with some cold water if you like it more pourable. Check the seasonings.
Make the salad:
- Toss the lettuce with enough dressing to coat, but not too heavily. Garnish with some almonds, chickpeas and grated Manchego.
If you prefer to avoid raw egg, you can use pasteurized eggs or 1 cup good quality mayonnaise. Recipe adapted from Fresh Every Day

An event every week that begins at 6:00 pm on Thursday, repeating indefinitely
Tai Chi in the Sanctuary
Thursday evenings (5:30-6 p.m.) Tai Chi Basics
Thursday evenings (6-7 p.m.) Yang Family Long Form
Newcomers are welcome.
No experience or special skills necessary. There is no charge. Come to one session or all or switch between them.
Tai Chi Basics: We gently exercise up our bodies and minds with a series of activities that emphasize basic skills, movements and positions. This class makes use of a variety of fun images that should be useful to beginners as well as more advanced students. We mount our surfboards (in our imagination!), hug a tree, walk amidst furry friends, shovel snow, and more. We relate these images and movements to parts of the Yang Family Long Form. You can join us for these sessions as an easy path to learning tai chi or use them to enrich your Long Form learning. Open to all.
Yang Family Long Form: The Yang style 103 form is practiced while standing and moving in slow motion. Once learned, it can be performed as a moving meditation that lasts 22 to 25 minutes. The long form is gentle on the body and on the mind, while building strength, flexibility, and resilience in both. Both of our Long Form classes are currently reviewing Section One.
Section One performed by Nancy Lucero
Section Two performed by Nancy Lucero
Section Three performed by Nancy Lucero

Marketing to Mobile Millennials: Misperceptions and Myths
Jul 8, 2014 5:53 PM PT
Despite their financial burdens -- unconscionably high levels of college education debt and a lackluster job market -- everyone wants to know what millenials want. Where will they live? What will they buy?
Automakers shake in fear that they won't develop the same obsession for the automobile-oriented lifestyle as their parents. Apartment builders have no compunction about building more and more edgy, in-fill dwellings for them, content in the knowledge that home ownership is a long away off for this crowd.
Mobile, of course, is an important part of millennial life. Young adults would be willing give up the basics -- sex, TV, who knows, possibly even oxygen -- if it were necessary to keep their devices active and with them 24 hours a day, surveys suggest.
Between the Lines
As scrutinized as this generation is by marketers, myths and misperceptions abound. The scary numbers of young people now living with their parents?
Statistics can be misleading. The Census Bureau counts college students as living with their parents, and what has really changed is the growing number of young people attaining higher education, notes an article in The Atlantic.
Other stats do have sobering implications for this group and the larger economy, however, such as the high burden of education debt millennials are shouldering.
Teasing out what is true, what is not, and what it really means can be tricky but highly worthwhile. There is a reason marketers and apartment builders and automobile manufacturers all want to know what this group is up to: Their spending habits will shape the economy and workforce for decades.
The Cosmo Example
As more millennials go mobile -- not only for communications, but also for other computing needs -- content will have to follow.
That's not lost on Cosmopolitan.com, which recently launched a redesigned website aimed at the mobile user. The new site struck gold, according to the Financial Times.
Its traffic surged 200 percent to nearly 30 million unique visitors in May from a year ago, the Times said, citing Adobe Analytics statistics. Mobile accounted for 69 percent of its page views, up from a third in 2012.
What We Think We Know
With that in mind, following are four myths about millennials and their mobile use.
1. Millennials prefer their mobile devices over TV. False, according to Experian Marketing Services. Certainly they love their smartphones but TV still accounts for the largest share of their media consumption on a weekly basis, at 37 percent.
2. Millennials wil buy anything as long as they can do so from a mobile device. Not if it's a tablet, according to a surprising report from Shullman Research Center. Millennials are twice as likely as Baby Boomers to be uncomfortable using a tablet to buy something, the research group found in a study about how millennials shop.
3. Millennials are U.S.-centric. Actually, most marketers are aware of millennials' diversity, but I don't think they realize just how diverse they truly are. For instance, an impressive 38 percent are bilingual -- up from 22 percent in 2003, according to Nielsen. Also, 19 percent are Hispanic, 14 percent are African-American, and 5 percent are Asian.
4. Marketing geared to millennials can be U.S.-centric. Definitely not, especially in a mobile environment. Hispanic millennials are more likely than non-Hispanic millennials to be mobile-first -- that is, accessing the Internet primarily from their devices, according to Experian Marketing -- while paradoxically spending more time with traditional media than their non-Hispanic counterparts. Hispanic millennials are more likely than non-Hispanics to use mobile devices as a second screen while watching TV, according to PricewaterhouseCooper.

Implementing LUKS encryption on your Linux laptop
Visits (16706)
In my last blog post [Full Disk Encryption for Your Laptop] explained my decisions relating to Full-Disk Encryption (FDE) for my laptop. Wrapping up my week's theme of Full-Disk Encryption, I thought I would explain the steps involved to make it happen.
Last April, I switched from running Windows and Linux dual-boot, to one with Linux running as the primary operating system, and Windows running as a Linux KVM guest. I have Full Disk Encryption (FDE) implemented using Linux Unified Key Setup (LUKS).
Here were the steps involved for encrypting my Thinkpad T410:
If you are one of the lucky 70,000 IBM employees switching from Windows to Linux this year, Welcome!

New Laptop - First afternoon
Comments (2) Visits (27195)
Continuing my rant from Monday's post [Time for a New Laptop], I got my new laptop Wednesday afternoon. I was hoping the transition would be quick, but that was not the case. Here were my initial steps prior to connecting my two laptops together for the big file transfer:
The next step involved a cross-over Ethernet cable, which I don't have. So that will have to wait until Thursday morning.

Women's health just took a leap forward with the passage of California Senate Bill 1538, authored by former state Senator Joe Simitian, which requires that women with dense breast tissue as determined by a mammogram be informed that they have the condition.
Women with dense breast tissue will be made aware of the fact that a tumor may not be seen on the mammogram, that they are at a higher risk for breast cancer, and that they should talk to a doctor about the condition. They will also be informed about other breast screening options.
This law came about as a suggestion to Mr. Simitian from a local Santa Cruz woman, Amy Colton, who has dense breast tissue and developed breast cancer in spite of having had routine mammograms. Kudos to Amy for championing this issue.
About 40 percent of all women have dense breast tissue, and many are unaware of their condition. Well over half of the cases of breast cancer in these women were missed with only routine mammography.
After skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in women in the U.S. Although, we usually associate breast cancer in women, it does occasionally occur in men.
The most common symptoms of breast cancer are:
– A breast lump
– Any change in the nipple, especially discharge or bleeding
– A change to the breast skin, such as the appearance of a dimple or pitting of the skin
– A change in size or shape of the breast
It is not clear why some women get breast cancer and some don't.
It would seem that breast cancer is caused by an interaction between one's genetic make-up and/or one's environment. About 10 percent of breast cancer can be linked to inherited defective genes passed down through generations of a family. Blood tests are available to determine who may have these genes.
Known risk factors for breast cancer are:
– Increasing age — it's more common in women older than 55
– A family or personal history of breast cancer
– Inherited genes
– Beginning your period at a young age or beginning menopause at an older age
– Post-menopausal hormone therapy, using a combination of estrogen and progesterone
– Drinking alcohol
Tests and procedures to detect breast cancer include:
– Breast exam, including self-exams as well as routine exams from a doctor
– Mammograms
– Breast ultrasounds
– Using a needle for a biopsy (removing a specimen of the suspected tissue for examination)
Current treatment guidelines for breast cancer are too large of a topic for this report.
Let me just say that tremendous strides are being made in the successful treatment of this disease.
Fortunately, the majority of breast changes do not turn out to be cancerous. Even if you have had a recent normal mammogram, see your doctor if you find any changes in your breasts, and work with your doctor to have routine breast exams and testing.

Archer Awards
Clayton Morris
Director of human resources,
City of Twinsburg
FROM THE NOMINATION: Clayton Morris serves not only as director of human resources for the city of Twinsburg but also fills the same role for the city of Streetsboro. On top of that, he is the equal employment opportunity officer for the village of Woodmere and has served as a consultant for other area communities.
"Clayton truly lives and breathes human resources," the nomination said. "If he did not, he would not take on these additional activities beyond his key role with the city of Twinsburg."
Mr. Morris in 2007 joined the city of Twinsburg and since then has brought all eight collective bargaining negotiations in-house, a move that saved the city thousands of dollars; and he has helped the city find ways to maintain service to the community amid a 12% decrease in revenue, which he accomplished by getting department heads to look at labor costs strategically.
During his time with the city of Twinsburg, Mr. Morris helped the city deal with the closing of the Chrysler Stamping Plant. He played a key role in adopting wage concessions, instituting staffing freezes and passing an income tax ballot initiative to help the city handle the reduced income.
Mr. Morris also stepped up in 2008 after Twinsburg lost a police officer in the line of duty and worked to help the police and fire departments after the tragedy.
"He set a standard as the police department worked through the investigation and trial," the nomination said. "As you can imagine, those were dark days at city hall and Clay was on hand to arrange counseling and attend to any need, whether in city hall or in our extended grieving community."
Mr. Morris also has formalized the use of assessment processes in the Twinsburg police department and has put in an automated application process.
In Streetsboro, where he has worked since December 2011, Mr. Morris has saved the city $75,000 by negotiating union contracts in-house and saved $160,000 in this year's premium without reducing the benefit plans for employees.
Apart from his work for Twinsburg, Streetsboro and other area communities, Mr. Morris is on the state Society for Human Resource Management committee, is a coach for the Stow Soccer Club and has served as an assistant scout master for the Boy Scouts of America.

A new poster banner for director Simon West's actioner The Expendables 2 has arrived. The photoshop-enhanced poster features the all-star cast of aging action heroes all lined up side-by-side, weapons in hand. Jean-Claude Van Damme is clearly the villain because he's the only one in the group wearing sunglasses, like an asshole. The story finds Sylvester Stallone and his crew hell-bent on revenge following the death of one of their own, as they set out to stop Van Damme's evil plot to blow lots of things up.
Hit the jump to take a gander at the poster, and check back on the site next week for our full recap of the film's Comic-Con panel. The film also stars Jason Statham, Yu Nan, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Chuck Norris, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Liam Hemsworth, Bruce Willis, and Arnold Schwarzenegger. The Expendables 2 opens on August 17th.

Here's the synopsis for The Expendables 2:
The Expendables are back and this time it's personal… Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone), Lee Christmas (Jason Statham), Yin Yang (Jet Li), Gunnar Jensen (Dolph Lundgren),Toll Road (Randy Couture) and Hale Caesar (Terry Crews) — with newest members Billy the Kid (Liam Hemsworth) and Maggie (Yu Nan) aboard — are reunited when Mr. Church (Bruce Willis) enlists the Expendables to take on a seemingly simple job. The task looks like an easy paycheck for Barney and his band of old-school mercenaries. But when things go wrong and one of their own is viciously killed, the Expendables are compelled to seek revenge in hostile territory where the odds are stacked against them. Hell-bent on payback, the crew cuts a swath of destruction through opposing forces, wreaking havoc and shutting down an unexpected threat in the nick of time — six pounds of weapons-grade plutonium; enough to change the balance of power in the world. But that's nothing compared to the justice they serve against the villainous adversary who savagely murdered their brother. That is done the Expendables way….

Denver's 7News wins 2012 Peabody Award
For "Investigating the Fire," the judges said, KMGH was honored for reporting that resulted in steps by the state government to institute changes. "After a controlled burn by the Colorado State Forest Service turned deadly, KMGH reporters uncovered mistakes and miscommunication that resulted in legislative changes that will compensate the victims and guard against future tragedies."
An increased number of digital efforts won honors for 2012. Winners of the 72nd annual award include NPR for coverage from Syria, the New York Times (nytimes.com) for digital storytelling about the Avalanche at Tunnel Creek; ABC News for "Robin's Journey" about Robin Roberts' health struggle as well as for coverage of Superstorm Sandy, and the Supreme Court's blog (SCOTUSblog.com). On the entertainment side, Lena Dunham and Louis C.K. were cited for HBO's "Girls" and FX's "Louie." A personal honor goes to Lorne Michaels of "Saturday Night Live" as the "patron saint of satirical television comedy."
7News has twice won the Peabody in the past: in 2003 for "Honor and Betrayal," exposing the scandal at the Air Force Academy, and in 2008 for "Failing the Children," about deadly mismanagement of the state's foster care and social services agencies.
The other local stations to win an award are WVIT in West Hartford for coverage of the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School and KNXV in Phoenix for exposing a deadly defect in certain SUVs. KNXV, like KMGH, is owned by E.W. Scripps.
See the complete list of winners. And watch 7News' winning entry, "Investigating the Fire."

International aid work can sound exhilerating.
What idealistic 20-something can't see the allure in being posted to far-flung corners of the world, touching down after natural disasters and the outbreak of war, being among the few who lend a hand to those in greatest need?
But relief worker Jessica Alexander explores a different side of the humanitarian aid job: the confusion, the loneliness, the fear.
In her new memoir Chasing Chaos: My Decade In and Out of Humanitarian Aid, Alexander describes the stress of everyday life in the field, and the moral and ethical dilemmas relief workers face.
She doesn't set out to "name and shame." So Alexander doesn't list the aid groups that employed her in locales from Rwanda to Darfur, Sierra Leone and post-tsunami Sri Lanka.
But she does describe some questionable practices, like the mayhem that enused after Haiti's 2010 earthquake when aid groups — many amateurish — overwhelmed the island nation.
"There were thousands of NGOs that came down to Haiti. Everything from Vegan Relief to more established UN organizations and NGOs. It created a huge mess because there were so many actors there doing their own little side projects," Alexander says. "So you may go to a camp, and you see a bunch of people who are there for a week with Frisbees and taking photos of people in a camp, when you're trying to do a nutritional program for children."
She also describes the difficulties of working in such varied, stressful locales.
"Part of my mental unraveling had to do with leaving and the jolt of going to a completely different culture," Alexander says.
Back in the US she found it hard to share with friends and family what she'd been through overseas.
"People say, 'Oh my gosh, how was it?' There are so many things running through your head and you just say, 'Um, it was fine, I guess,'" Alexander explains. "It's really difficult to try to distill some of these experiences into party appropriate stories."

For Immediate Release, November 27, 2012
Court Halts Clearcutting in Murrelet Habitat on Oregon State Forests
Conservation Groups Call on Gov. Kitzhaber for Balanced Forest Planning
PORTLAND, Ore.— A federal court judge has halted 11 timber sales and all logging activities in occupied marbled murrelet sites in the Tillamook, Clatsop and Elliott state forests. The ruling stops logging in murrelet habitat until the resolution of a case filed by Cascadia Wildlands, the Center for Biological Diversity and Portland Audubon Society asserting that the state's logging practices are harming the federally protected seabird.
Since the case was filed, Oregon has voluntarily suspended timber sales on more than 1,700 acres of older forest in marbled murrelet habitat in the three state forests. In her ruling, Chief Judge Aiken concluded the voluntary suspensions do not go far enough, writing, "Because the suspension of logging activities may be lifted at anytime with 60-days notice, and due to the imperiled status of the marbled murrelet, the status quo includes an imminent threat of irreparable injury under the ESA."
"The state of Oregon's forest practices are the most reckless in the Pacific Northwest and are pushing the marbled murrelet closer to extinction," says Francis Eartherington, conservation director with Cascadia Wildlands. "This ruling should send a signal to the leadership of Oregon that balanced forest plans are critically needed to truly protect the murrelet."
Murrelet populations are declining steadily, as is their breeding habitat. Oregon has the opportunity to provide for these birds while also ensuring timber jobs through either logging young plantations or entering into an agreement called a "habitat conservation plan" with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
"This is an important ruling," said Bob Sallinger of the Audubon Society of Portland. "It ensures not only that the existing timber sale suspensions will stay in place until this case is resolved, but also prevents any additional sales in key murrelet areas."
Oregon recently abandoned its decade-long attempt to develop habitat conservation plans for the Clatsop, Tillamook and Elliott state forests that would have given the state a federal permit for limited impacts to marbled murrelets in exchange for habitat protection measures designed to enhance the bird's conservation.
"Logging the last remaining mature and old-growth forests and driving the marbled murrelet ever closer to extinction is plainly out of step with the values of Oregonians," said Noah Greenwald, endangered species director at the Center for Biological Diversity. "I'm thrilled the court has seen the threat posed to these unique seabirds and granted them a reprieve."

Hearing the voice of the teacher in noisy classrooms and lecture halls can be a challenge for children and teenagers. Amigo FM is designed to help them overcome the effects of distance and noise, and hear the most from their classroom teachers as possible.
Oticon's Amigo FM system bridges the distance between teacher and child and significantly improves the signal-to-noise level by sending the signal directly to the child's ears.
The FM system comprises:• A microphone• A transmitter• A receiver
With an FM system, the teacher wears a microphone to capture their voice, and the signal is then sent via the transmitter to the receiver, which is placed either on the child's hearing aids or on Streamer Pro.
Using Streamer Pro
If you use ConnectLine a wide range of FM receivers can be connected directly to the Streamer Pro, streaming FM to both ears with only one receiver. We recommend that you use the Amigo FM receiver.
Learn more about ConnectLine
Clear, authentic sound quality for optimum speech understanding and improved speech recognition with Oticon Sensei's VoicePriority i™
Discreet receivers that stay in place – either attached to the hearing aids or placed on Streamer Pro
Fully compatible with hearing aids, cochlear implants and bone-anchored solutions
– a LED indicator on the receiver confirms that the child is receiving a clear signal, which helps both teacher and child
Intuitive, easy to use and with simple, on-the-spot programming – no need for PCs and extra cables
The Amigo FM's ear-level receivers have the lowest power consumption of any available FM system
Integrated into Oticon Sensei, VoicePriority i ™ automatically adjusts the gain of the incoming FM signal to optimise the signal to noise level at your child's ear. This advanced adaptive FM strategy instantly responds to changing noise levels, ensuring consistent speech recognition wherever your child is located. And the more children understand, the better their learning opportunities.
Children acquire significant learning from each other during class – both from direct conversations and from incidental learning. With VoicePriority i the teacher's voice is amplified without compromising relevant information from the child's surroundings. To make sure that students avoid missing out on any words when shifting attention between the teacher and a fellow student, Voice Priority i activates and deactivates almost instantaneously, depending on the noise level at the child's ear.
Read more about child-friendly hearing aids
Ear-level receivers attach to the bottom of the hearing aids. The shape of the receiver seamlessly integrates with the contours of the hearing aid, forming a single unit.
Amigo FM receivers attach to the bottom of behind-the-ear hearing aids. No tools are required. Amigo receivers come in a wide range of colours to match the hearing aids.
The receiver is part of a highly reliable system. An LED indicator provides instant confirmation that the child is receiving the FM signal, making it easier for both teachers and children to work with.
Amigo FM receivers work with virtually all currently available FM transmitters. This gives you complete freedom of choice when selecting the optimal hearing aids for your child.
Teachers want to spend their time teaching – not trying to decipher complex FM systems. Amigo transmitters make life easy. They simply turn on the transmitter, clip on the microphone and begin teaching. The transmitters send the teacher's voice directly to the pupil, overcoming the effects of noise, distance and reverberation that can make it hard for children to hear.
There's always lots of activity taking place in a classroom, and background noise in any form can be extremely distracting to children – but particularly to those with listening difficulties.
Amigo Star has the ability to help children conserve some of their resources to concentrate on what matters most: their learning.
Amigo Star is the latest evolution of the Amigo FM family - designed to help normal hearing children with listening difficulties concentrate better in class.
• Smooth integration: integrates with the Amigo FM system or any FM system already in place
• Comfortable and discreet: available in a range of colours with tubes and domes in various sizes
• Easy and intuitive to use: fit it to the ear, switch on, sync and start
• Robust: drop- and water- resistant

OCEAN CITY – The Ocean City Council may have provided a stimulus package of its own Tuesday, voting to move forward with plans to double the amount of exhibit space and add a 1,200-seat performing arts center at the Roland E. Powell Convention Center.
Although there are still some hoops for the town to jump through before the plans can become a "work in progress", it appears that those plans have finally hit the mark, as the council voted 5-2, with Joe Hall and Margaret Pillas in opposition, to opt for the most costly option for renovation while cutting the food and beverage tax in half.
The process to get to Tuesday's vote varies anywhere from one to three years depending on whom you talk to, but everyone agreed (even those who voted against it) that "option A" was far better than anything that has been brought to the table thus far, and the economic impacts could be vast.
"This plan is much better than what we had before," said Mayor Rick Meehan, "and any way you look at it, we are still gaining 10,000 square feet of exhibit space, and with the lowering of the food tax, it makes it an even better plan."
The break down of the total $10.4 million "Option A" includes not only enclosing the existing bay front deck, but also expands it to the west and the south, achieving 20,000 square feet of new space for exhibits and dining, as well as a $600,000 energy and heating efficiency improvements that will be paid for by a grant from President Obama's recent stimulus package.
"This expansion is virtually the equivalent of the existing main ballroom," according to City Engineer Terry McGean, "and (option A) will enable us to convert a portion of the existing ballroom to a fixed-seat auditorium while maintaining a full 20,000 square feet of exhibit space in a single room."
The performing arts center portion of the project had come under fire from some exhibitors who use the current space as the original proposal would have conceivably cut the existing ballroom in half to accommodate the originally proposed 1,700-seat auditorium, but McGean said all the former "naysayers" are on board with the new idea and the amended 1,200-seat center that will be much like the 1,300-seat Sandler Center in Virginia Beach.
Another big reason the proposal passed through council was that $4.1 million of the total sum will be paid by the Maryland Stadium Authority, who unanimously voted to once again be the town's 50/50 partner in the convention center expansion.
The one intangible that could temporarily stall Tuesday's vote is that the town must wait for the Stadium Authority to go through the legislative process in order to be granted the right from the State Board of Public Works to buy the bond that will cover its part of the expenditure.
The additional $1.6 million of the total bill that isn't included in the 50/50 split of the $8.2 million is for the performing arts center, which, according to McGean, the town was unable to request assistance because additional economic studies would have been required that time did not permit.
The turning point in the conversation, however, seemed to take place when Seacrets owner Leighton Moore, who was one of about two dozen business owners who showed up to support "option A", said that the project could be done while cutting the 1-percent food tax at the same time.
"If anyone's done the figures, you could do this at a half percent," said Moore, a former Ocean City councilman. "You could lower your tax down and still fund this project. Everyone is worried about the economy. Why not look at a way to do everything that we want to do within the confines of what we have already exemplified that we can do?"
The bond that the city would purchase to pay for this project would be paid back with money brought in from the 1 percent food and beverage tax, which was instilled during the last expansion of the convention center in 1995.
Moore's claim that it could be done by in fact lowering the aforementioned food and beverage tax received quick concurrence from town Finance Administrator Martha Lucey.
"There would be adequate funding with a half percent tax to pay it off in less than 10 years," she said.
That notion seemed to open the floodgates of discussion, as several of Ocean City's top businessmen took to the podium to support the upgrade.
"If you cut the tax in half from what people are used to paying, then let's get this done now," said Moore. "You are charged with a job of moving Ocean City into the future and not just staying static and putting things off for a year. Why you wouldn't vote for this I don't know, but if a half percent can retire this, it's a win-win."
McGean said that the estimated economic impact for this project is $23.6 million annually (excluding the impacts of the auditorium, which have yet to be projected), and up to $2 million annually in fiscal impact, as well as provide numerous jobs and business for the local community.
Mayor Rick Meehan said that lowering the food tax would send the right message to the people of Ocean City that the town was trying to be proactive while remaining somewhat conservative.
"You never want to collect more than what you absolutely need to and if we can do it at a half percent, then it only makes the entire proposal more feasible and in my opinion it is right on to do it this way," he said.
Meehan also added that the presence of so many in the business community sent a strong message to the council and applauded his colleagues and those in the business community for having the foresight to move Ocean City in a "forward direction."
Councilwoman Mary Knight thought option A was sending an even stronger message to the public.
"This gives people something to look forward to, and it shows that Ocean City is not backing down, and that we feel good about our town and what it will do for our town," said Knight. "It's time to revitalize, and this is the right time to do it."
Councilman Joe Hall who along with Pillas voted against the expansion, said that though the plan was the best one to come across the table, he was not convinced of the "net gains" for the average taxpayer.
"I see the merits of the project," said Hall, "but I believe that the numbers are highly exaggerated for the majority of the tax base. I wanted a clearer economic picture, and I wasn't ready to grow our operations."
During the discussion, Hall tried to argue that property taxes would rise because the convention center's operational deficit would increase due to the expansion, but his claim was quickly refuted by McGean, who said that the projected $167,000 per year in operational deficit caused by the expansion would be covered by a projected $372,000 in new tax revenue.
In the end, McGean said the project could break ground next winter and the design and request for proposal (RFP) process will begin once all the aforementioned intangibles are tied up.
"Once everything is designed and permitted, construction of the new part of the center will be done in 20 months, and the reconfiguring of the existing ballroom into the performing arts center will take four months," said McGean.
He also stressed that no events will be postponed or moved during the building process, and estimated the newly renovated convention center could be operational by winter 2012.
"This is the type of venue that we need in Ocean City, said proponent and local realtor Peck Miller. "If this isn't a stimulus package, I don't know what is."

There was a recent article in Variety regarding the Disney film about gargoyles that's in development. Disney has chosen new writers for the project, David Elliot and Paul Lovett. Elliot and Lovett have several writing credits under their belt, but the one that many are sure to make special note of is their work on G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.
When reading news about this untitled film project the words "gargoyles" and "Disney" are profusely exercised. Now we have a pair of writers who took an animated series and adapted it into a live-action film associated with this Disney project about gargoyles. It should therefore not be unexpected that people believe this new Disney film will be a live-action adaptation of the animated series Gargoyles. The problem is this film has absolutely nothing to do with the animated series. The Variety article explicitly states this, but in a world of messages limited to 160 characters that particular detail gets left out and the news of a Gargoyles live-action film spreads. This confusion bothers me.

SKF to showcase solutions for extended bearing life at Interlift 2015
2015 September 29, 10:00 CEST
SKF will be exhibiting a range of innovations designed to keep elevators running longer and faster at Interlift 2015.
Gothenburg, Sweden, 29 September 2015: SKF, the knowledge engineering company, will be showcasing a selection of solutions that enable bearing performance – and therefore elevator performance – to be optimized.
Visitors to the show will have the opportunity to see SKF's new small sealed Explorer spherical roller bearings. These bearings decrease seal friction by up to 50%, reducing operating temperatures and increasing lubricant life to cut maintenance costs. They also feature double the limiting speed rating of previous versions, which makes them ideal for use in modern high-speed elevators.
The SKF stand will also feature a selection of tools that enable bearing performance to be optimized per application. This includes SKF EnCompass, which is a proven programme for bearing design improvement, enabling more detailed analysis of the factors influencing bearing service life to help meet real-world application conditions. Included as part of SKF EnCompass is the latest version of the SKF Generalized Bearing Life Model, which enables design engineers to calculate a more specific bearing life by considering more influencing factors than ever before.
The performance and life of bearings in elevators can be improved still further with SKF Enlight and SKF SimPro, both of which can be seen by visitors at Interlift 2015. SKF Enlight is an extensive new portfolio of off-the-shelf devices as well as SKF apps and cloud services that provides users with the ideal set of tools to optimize everything from condition monitoring to lubrication systems. SKF Simpro is a new advanced calculation tool offering from SKF that helps engineers select the right bearings for an application and fine-tune machine designs.

This one-of-a-kind retrospective is the result of an exhaustive and collaborative effort between Major League Baseball and the Chicago Cubs, featuring both classic stories and rare archived images commemorating the ballpark's first 100 years of history.
On April 23, 1914, Wrigley Field opened its doors for its first baseball game, a Federal League matchup between the Chi-Feds and Kansas City Packers. The first Major League game on Chicago's North Side came two years later, a 7-6 Cubs victory over the Reds on April 20, 1916. And it has endured ever since. Now celebrating its centennial, Wrigley Field - the oldest operating ballpark in the National League - remains nestled into its Chicago neighborhood as the home to the city's beloved ballclub and its loyal fans.
Wrigley Field books are available at the Cubs Store on the corner Clark Street and Addison Street.
Includes exclusive tributes from:
Jimmy Buffett
Mike Ditka
Pat Hughes
Len Kasper
And exclusive tributes to:
Ernie Banks
Kerry Wood
Ron Santo
Andre Dawson
Mark Grace
Sammy Sosa
"What makes Wrigley Field special is that you can look around every time you go and find something that you didn't discover the time before. I sit somewhere different each time, just to take in the park from a new angle. The best way to watch a game has to be during the daytime with some buddies in the bleachers." -Kurt Busch
"The thing we've always loved about the bleachers is that you never know who you're going to meet. One day we talked to some people sitting next to us and joined them after the game. That was the day I met my wife, Cece. We now have five children. Today, while the Ricketts family is responsible for Wrigley Field, it is also true that Wrigley Field is at least somewhat responsible for my family." -Tom Ricketts
"I love Wrigley Field. I love what it stands for. I understand the South Side and Comiskey Park and Soldier Field - I played in all of them. But there's something about Wrigley Field that is Chicago, maybe the North Side more than anything else. It's a great place with great history and I'm glad I was part of it." -Mike Ditka
"In the 2009 Winter Classic, I remember sitting on the bench and looking across at my sons. It was such a surreal moment to play hockey there. It didn't seem right, but it was beautiful.There's no better venue in North America. People from all over the come to see everything it offers - the experience, the mystique. You'd hate to see something with such history get knocked down. That'll never happen with Wrigley Field. It's going to be there forever." -Chris Chelios
"There's no better place to see a game than the Friendly Confines. You don't simply see a game at Wrigley Field - you experience one. It's magical. It's not just about rooting for the lovable underdogs. It's the ivy, the old scoreboard, the history, the people - grounds crew, ushers, front office, players, batboys and batgirls alike.
Whenever I go to Wrigley Field, I feel fortunate to be part of something that's been passed down from one generation to the next. And once you've been there, no other place compares." -CM Punk

Tilapia poop used to grow fresh produce
Students experiment growing crops with fish waste
Students at King Science and Technology Magnet Middle School are growing organic produce by using fish waste.
In a pond of tilapia, pipes filter and pump fish waste into the roots in a garden bed filled with clay pellets instead of dirt. The water filters through and is reused.
"Me and my friends, we're kind of immature sometimes, so I'll usually just say 'poop,'" said student Camron Rogers.
Students are not only learning how to grow lettuce and beets, but they are learning healthy habits.
"Our school is located in a part of town where I can walk to a fast-food place, but I can't walk to a grocery store that has fresh produce," said teacher Kris Denton.
The experiments are set up through Whispering Roots, a nonprofit focused on providing fresh, locally-grown, healthy food for socially and economically disadvantaged communities.
"We have seventh-and eighth-graders that are growing produce that's better than anything you can buy in the store," said Greg Fripp, Whispering Roots founder.
Every four to six weeks, students take bags of the fresh produce and donate it to people in need at the Open Door Mission.
Although the food may not sound appetizing, Denton said the produce is cleaner than grocery store lettuce and the students have tests to prove it.
About 10 students spend a few hours each week doing tests on the plants, like testing the pH level. Ellionsai Strong said the experiment is helping her to become a pediatrician.
"There's not really that many women out here that are interested in science and technology," Strong said.
While these kids are learning lessons to help them meet state standards, they are taking much more into the future.
"Now I look at students, like Carmon, a year later who can stand in front of an interview and eloquently explain the system, and who has all of this science background, who has been overlooked for things because of past behaviors. It's so powerful to see the difference doing hands-on science makes for a kid," Denton said.

protos necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 43 diseños de 14 diseñadores freelance.
We're the premiere poker podcast site. We also have videos, blogs and more. The site is run mainly by males in their 20s and 30s who are into poker.
Poker players. Mostly males from age 18 to 50. Both live and online poker players are targets.
I am attaching a rough layout of the homepage I'd like to see. Here are some bullet points:
-The site should have a white background. Or at least a very light background.
-The "content" area of the site should have a rounded border but unlike my sketch, there should be two sections of rounded area. The first should include the logo and nav area. The second should be the content area down to just above the footer.
-The footer and the text below it (for SEO purposes) should be something like a very dark gray or black against a white background.
-The site should retain a green/black/white theme but it should use a LOT less black than the current site at pokerroad.com
-The logo should stay the same
-I care a lot about typography, line heights and contrast. High quality designs pay a lot of attention to those things.
-I prefer sans serif fonts
-Some menu items will have CSS dropdowns, they should probably have arrows or some other indicator next to them if they do have a dropdown
This project is for FOUR pages. They are:
-Show general landing page (ie, list off recent shows, description of the show, etc)
-Show individual page (the page meant for any individual show). Should have area for comments, summary, guest info, etc.
-Standard article/blog page
Please post any questions.

Ok. So I've started getting into NZBs, and I wanna know what clients you guys prefer. Right now I have SuperNZB simply because it's "free" (limited to 2 servers), and *claims* that it does all the steps automatically. I haven't been able to complete and reconstruct anything yet though.
I guess something with SSL would be best too? the server I'm on says it supports SSL.
erm...didn't see an obvious place for this. sorry if smalltalk is wrong. :angel:

Men's Tree Toppers
AUD incl. GST
Void of unnecessary detail, the Tree Topper is a refreshingly simple evolution of the classic high-top, perfect for cruising beneath the skyline.
What the Tree?
Maybe we were going out on a limb when we thought to make shoes out of trees. But thanks to magical eucalyptus tree fiber, our Tree material is breathable and silky-smooth, complete with a cooling effect to keep things breezy. It's naturally-derived and renewable, too, meaning it's much friendlier to the environment than traditional shoe stuff.
Breeze in, breeze out
With a silky-smooth feel and pleasing cooling effect, our tree upper's proprietary mesh knit textile delivers breathability and unrivaled comfort. Fun fact: it's made from responsibly grown and sustainably harvested eucalyptus pulp.
Laces in a bottle
100% of the material in our laces is post-consumer recycled polyester. One old plastic bottle becomes one pair of durable, sleek shoelaces, designed with inspiration from nautical rope.
One tough plant
We use bio-based TPU in our eyelets, a material created thanks to unique microorganisms that consume plant sugars. It's tougher and more resilient than traditional materials, not to mention friendlier to the earth.
Walk on a cloud
We line our insoles with our proprietary merino wool fabric for softness, moisture wicking, and odor reduction.
For supreme comfort and cushioning, we use castor bean oil, which also cuts carbon output when compared to petroleum-based foam.
Sweet on your feet
Born from Brazilian sugarcane, SweetFoam™ is the world's first carbon negative green EVA. The sole's contours provide bouncy comfort that's light on your feet as well as the planet. It's as sweet as it sounds.

Hello, my name is Chris Kozlik, I am 33 years old and work as senior data centre systems engineer and I would like to tell you about myself and my journey to Freemasonry.
When I considered why I wanted to join Freemasonry, I looked back to the first time that Freemasonry made an impact on me and left me intrigued of what it was all about. This was around 11 years ago and it was not until recently that I felt that it was the right time for me to start a new journey.
I approached the group via the contacts page on the Warrington Group website where all my details were passed on to the membership officer John Tyrer. After having a casual meeting and a tour around the lodge one evening, John arranged to find a suitable lodge for me to meet with. The lodge that I had been given to meet with was Travellers Lodge No 4679.
I met up with the WM of the lodge and other members on a number of occasions over the year and I always felt very much welcome and at home with everyone. It was then proposed after having time to get to know me that I was to be balloted for on 20 of November 2014 and if successful, I was to be initiated that very evening.
I always look at life as if it was like one big A to Z, it is already mapped out for us way before we set foot on this planet and everything always happens for a reason.
Since my initiation, I have looked at why I joined Freemasonry in a whole different light. I looked at the people that I have met and the friends that I have made already in my short period as a Mason. I looked at the knowledge that everyone I have met had a desire to pass on to me, it filled me with great admiration of what I had become. I then found out something that I did not know beforehand, that many of my family in the past on my father's side had also been Masons and had also made the same journey I had done so far and beyond.
My life as a Freemason had already been mapped out; this was something that I had been born to do.
I am currently a steward in my lodge and very much look forward to progressing through the various roles and learning as much as I can about Freemasonry.
Away from Masonry, I'm a keen football fan, being a season ticket holder at Manchester City – something that in recent years has become a far more pleasurable experience than it once was! I also enjoy documentaries; fell walking and sampling beers from around the world.
I hope you've enjoyed finding out about me; I look forward to meeting you in the near future.
