Starwood to Open W New York - Times Square Hotel for New Year's Revelers
By Glen Thompson (http://www.globest.com)
Last updated: Nov 27, 2001 09:51AM
NEW YORK CITY- The scaffolding is still up and plywood covers most of the ground floor, but Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. says it will put its long-awaited W New York - Times Square Hotel through its paces with a "soft" opening just in time for New Year's Eve. The property's retail shop, bar and restaurant all will be open to guests on the last weekend of the year.
Located in the heart of the Theater District at 47th Street and Broadway, the upscale Starwood property is selling two-night-minimum packages starting Dec. 27 through Dec 30. for $399. New Year's Eve packages go for $499.
"This is the first time the doors will be open to the public," a Starwood representative tells GlobeSt.com. Preview guests at the 52-story hotel will also have the opportunity to shop at the first W retail store, opening in the hotel Dec. 28. Grand opening ceremonies have not yet been set but are expected to occur in late February, according to Starwood officials.
Starwood is bringing its ultra-hip W brand into Manhattan with a 509-room, 43-suite hotel. Designed by Toronto-based Yabu Pushelberg, W Times Square features a glass-encased waterfall in the lobby, guest rooms with high-speed Internet access via infrared keyboards, secure e-mail, VHS and DVD players.
A 6,000-sf bar subterranean bar The Whiskey, will be open evenings. Blue Fin, a seafood restaurant, will seat 350 on two levels and will feature live jazz.
Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide Inc. owns and operates 750 properties in more than 80 countries. In addition to the W brands, the Starwood umbrella includes the St. Regis, Luxury Collection, Westin, Four Points by Sheraton and Starwood Vacation Ownership Inc.

W New York-Times Square to Open Today
By Glen Thompson
Last updated: Dec 26, 2001 *01:38PM
NEW YORK CITY-Starwood Hotels and Resorts Worldwide will open its swank W hotel brand's flagship property in Times Square today. W New York-Times Square is the 16th W property to open in the last three years.
The 57-story hotel's design is a collaborative effort between Toronto-based design firm Yabu Pushelberg and the Starwood Design Group. The sleek, modern building has 509 guestrooms, including 43 suites.
The hotel will also open its retail operation, W The Store, a partnership between Starwood and Platform LLC. Platform partners Stephen Werther, founder of the Portico, and Troy Halterman, proprietor of Troy, will stock a wide-ranging inventory of fashion accessories, beauty products, as well as home furnishing and small electronic items.
Also ready for business is the Whiskey, a below-ground, 7,500-sf bar and screening room. Rande Gerber's Midnight Oil Co. has Whiskey locations in Los Angeles, Chicago, New Orleans, Aspen and Boston. Gerber already has one Whiskey club in New York, Whiskey Park.
Restaurateur Stephen Hanson, who owns several upscale New York eateries through his B.R. Guest company, will operate the hotel's 350-seat seafood restaurant, Blue Fin.
The first W property opened in new York in December 1998. There are now five W hotels in New York City and 16 hotels brand-wide in the US and abroad. W hotels in development include properties in San Diego, Miami, Mexico City and Seoul, Korea.
Arquitectonica's Westin E-Walk is a lot more interesting, but it's better than your average glass box. *I hate the blank wall though.
And is it really that skinny, or are my eyes playing tricks on me?
Nothing wrong with your eyes, it is really that skinny.
By the way, the W New York Hotel page of Wired New York has the pictures of the inside.
And it baffles me why would anyone deny the hotel visitors the great view on the Hudson River (see the picture below). Perhaps Clinton neighborhood is not chic enough for W Hotel.
The Celebrity Cruises ship leaving New York City Harbor, with Queen Elizabeth 2 docked at Pier 90.
I love the complexity skinny buildings like that add to the urban environment. The transformation of Times Square is very interesting itself.
They deprived the residents of the view on the Hudson River. That's right. But I think the other three are better. That's where the action is.
Maybe there are elevators on the side of the blind wall ? If that's correct, they should have built a transparent wall. Seeing a moving elevator and its mechanism is always better than a blind wall.
I guess that Frank Williams W-Hotel in Times Square is not very original and quite dull. It's strange to see the windows in the north side (where there is no or little sun) and not for example in the west side (where the sun come down over the Hudson). But I think that there will be technical reasons for this that I don't know. Anycase, the couple W-Hotel and Marriot (J.Portman) is not a great couple of hotels. One is a little bit too oppressive (an airport architecture for Francis Morrone) the other is simply anonymous. E.-Walk is really better. *
I went inside, it's amazing, so nice and trendy !!!
And the waitresses in the bar are HOT! SMOKIN' HOT!!!

|St Patrick
- the story
St Patrick was born a Briton under Roman rule - the exact location of his birthplace isn't known but it was either the north of England or southern Scotland.
In his teens he was kidnapped and brought to Ireland as a slave by Niall of the Nine Hostages, a famous king of Ireland whose son Laoghaire was later to play a large part in Patrick's mission to convert Ireland to Christianity.
Patrick was taken to Antrim where he was sold to a local landowner, Meliuc, who put him to work as a shepherd.
For six long years Patrick lived upon the Slemish mountain with only his sheep for company. The land was bleak and the conditions harsh but Patrick found solace in the faith that his people had abandoned under Roman rule. He prayed day and night to the Christian God who brought him comfort during this time.
One night he heard a voice calling to him, telling him that the time had come to escape. It told him, "See, your ship is ready." Patrick knew that he had to travel south to seek the ship God had told him of. He travelled for 200 miles until he came to Wexford where, sure enough, a boat heading for Britain was waiting.
Patrick approached the captain, who at first denied him passage. He turned away, praying for God's guidance. Before he finished the prayer he heard a member of the crew calling to him to come with them - they had changed their mind and could provide him with safe passage home.
Patrick did not seem destined to have an easy life - when travelling home through Britain he was captured by a band of brigands, who returned him to slavery. Desperate, Patrick heard God's voice reassuring him that, "Two months will you be with them."
Sure enough, after sixty days in their company, God delivered him from their hands. Patrick then spent seven years travelling throughout Europe trying to determine what his purpose on earth was. Eventually he came to the conclusion that he should study to become a true servant of God, taking his message throughout the world.
He first studied at the Lerin Monastery, situated on an island off the Cote d' Azur. On completing his studies he returned to Britain as a priest. He remained in Britain until a voice came to him in a dream. He recognised it as the voice of the Irish, which begged him, "We beseech thee, holy youth, to come and walk once more amongst us." At this point, Patrick's purpose in life was revealed to him - he would convert the Irish to Christianity.

Back in the first year of my undergrad I remember being told "for every day spent in the field, expect to spend three in the office", because "excavation without publication is destruction." I didn't believe it for a second, I thought I'd be gallivanting all over the place, digging things up with gay abandon, without a second thought for paper work or grant proposals or journal submissions. But here I am, in my office, working on four projects.
Hi, I'm Liesel. I'm a first year combined Masters/PhD student at the University of Western Australia. I'm in the Centre for Forensic Science because my research is in analytical chemistry, using techniques developed for use in forensic science and applying them to artefacts, rather than evidence.
The first project I'm working on today is writing up the excavations I just got home from in Egypt. I work with the University of Hawaii at Tell Timai, in the eastern delta. It's an amazing, sprawling Greco-Roman city, slowly being eaten up by the two villages on either side of it. This season I worked on finishing the excavation of a Hellenistic house, you can read more about it on my blog. Today I have been in touch via email with other people on the project, all over the world, trading elevations for maps, maps for photos, and photos for past reports. We're working on writing the site's first monograph, and I will be co-authoring two chapters, one on the house and one on the coins from the site.
Today's conundrum was; was the house built all in one go? Or was the west half added on later? I think it was added on later, because the walls are at a slightly different bearing, and they're thicker. Also, the site ceramicist says the ceramic fill under the floor of the east and west halves are different.
The second is my PhD project, which involves chemical analysis of thousands of beautiful Spanish silver coins. As exciting as that might be, getting the coins from the museum to my university has proven more complicated than I had thought, and they haven't arrived yet. So instead I am doing some background research and trying to teach myself the periodic table. I can recite up to Zinc without too much trouble now.
The third project is being on the national committee for NASC14, it's a conference being held next year in Adelaide, South Australia for students of archaeology, run by students of archaeology. I think it's a great idea and so just this week I decided to be a part of it.
The fourth project is coursework for my Masters degree. It's in forensic science and I'm doing it at the same time as my PhD. Today was Advanced Forensic Anthropology, and I spent all afternoon measuring skulls. I'll measure them all three more times and then run my measurements through some stats to look at how precise I am.
Even though I've been in the office all day, there's plenty of interesting things going on here.

Houston has long been known for its bustling arts scene and diverse population. Thanks to a group of student artists, these elements are being showcased on the walls of City Hall.
The exhibition "Everything Has Its Place" presents the photography of 17 students from the University of Houston's School of Art. The exhibition extends throughout City Hall on different floors, hallways and rooms. It will be on view through March 2011.
Images presented in "Everything Has Its Place" include super heroes, farmers, a post-apocalyptic vision of downtown, weather-beaten hardware and photographic reinterpretations of Renaissance paintings.
Among the displayed works are student Nancy Baltodano's photos depicting her mother-in-law. Titled "Mi Suegre," the collection showcases color and black and white shots of her immigrant mother-in-law with her own sons and with children she cares for as a nanny.
"My mother in law has always amazed me with her story," said Baltodano, who graduated from UH in May. "She's an immigrant from Nicaragua. She's a single mother and has worked as a nanny for different families. I think many people can relate to these images, especially in a city like Houston that is filled with diversity."
Another collection of images "812 Welch" by Marian Ochoa was inspired by how light affected a Houston apartment's interior. Ochoa took photos of the inside of her former living space over a six-month span. Photos were captured at various times of the day to depict sunlight peeking from behind a curtain.
"It was very visceral and emotional for me to see this light," said Ochoa, a recent School of Art graduate. "I continuously photographed it and experimented with ways to capture it."
The exhibition was made possible through the city of Houston's Cultural Affairs Office. Minnette Boesel, the mayor's assistant for cultural affairs, contacted UH's School of Art regarding an opportunity to showcase student art at City Hall. At the time, Stephan Hillerbrand, assistant professor of photography and digital media, was overseeing a student exhibition at a local gallery. With a collection of work already available to exhibit, Hillerbrand eagerly worked with Houston's Cultural Affairs Office to launch "Everything Has Its Place" at City Hall.
"As part of an ongoing initiative to feature and partner with the Houston arts community, the city is very pleased and honored to have an exhibition of photographic works by students from UH's School of Art on display in the hallways of City Hall," Boesel said.
The works might not reflect Houston's skyline, highways or monuments, but Hillerbrand said that they are all reflective of the city in which they were created.
"All of these students are from different backgrounds and have different interests," he said. "They all represent different voices within the city and are using photography to showcase things that are very much part of Houston."
UH's photography and digital media program in the School of Art prepares students to take full advantage of traditional and contemporary modes of creating, manipulating, printing and publishing photographs, lens-based artworks, and media art productions. The program offers both undergraduate and graduate degrees. To learn more about the UH School of Art and the photography and digital media program, visit http://www.art.uh.edu/.

Marshawn Lynch leaves Media Day interviews early, explains why to Deion Sanders
One of the looming questions coming into Tuesday's Super Bowl Media Day was whether Marshawn Lynch would meet with reporters. If he didn't, he was in line to face a significant fine from the NFL.
Lynch did not take a podium, but he did speak to the media ... for just over six minutes. Then he left.
Marshawn Lynch booked about six minutes in. Record for him. Fine coming.
— mike freeman (@mikefreemanNFL) January 28, 2014
NFL Network took note of the situation, notably with Marshall Faulk defending Lynch's right to not speak with the media, but Deion Sanders eventually tracked down Lynch, who was trying to play it low key along the fringes of media day.
Things got off to a less-than-smooth start. (Rich Eisen later apologized for Marshawn going "all Beast Mode" on the FCC rules.)
When Sanders asked why Lynch abandoned his media day responsibilities, the Seahawks running back said "I'm just 'bout that action, boss."
Lynch added: "I ain't never seen no talking win me nothing. Been like that since I was little. I was raised like that."
There's no question Lynch is excited for the game on Sunday.
UPDATE: And in case you were worried, it doesn't sound like Marshawn Lynch will be fined for his brief stint with the media.
First reaction from NFL office is that Marshawn Lynch complied with Media Day requirements and won't be fined. He only answered Q's for 6:28

Chowing down on a pile of candy bars may not be a very good idea, but one ingredient in chocolate might actually help you come up with good ideas.
New research in the American Heart Association's journal Hypertension found improved mental function in elderly people who drank a lot of powdered cocoa drinks. An ingredient called flavonols might be behind the benefit, the researchers said. Flavonols – also found in tea, grapes, red wine and apples – have been associated with a decreased risk of dementia.
The researchers tested 90 elderly participants with mild cognitive impairment and found that participants drinking higher levels daily of flavanol-rich drinks had significantly higher overall cognitive scores than those participants drinking lower-levels..
Insulin resistance, blood pressure and oxidative stress also decreased in those drinking high and intermediate levels of flavanols daily.

Connecticut to issue driver's licenses to young people under 'deferred action' immigration program (video)
NEW HAVEN -- The state will issue driver's licenses to young people who qualify for a new "deferred action" immigration enforcement program that President Barack Obama announced in August.
The news came at a rally Sunday attended by hundreds of people, many of them immigrants from several countries, and was announced by the co-chairman of a regional clergy group.
But the group, Congregations Organized for a New Connecticut, will continue to pursue changes in the law and try to convince the state to ultimately grant access to a driver's license to all residents, regardless of immigration status, the Rev. James Manship told over 400 people gathered at St. Rose of Lima Church in the Fair Haven section.
Michael Lawlor, undersecretary of criminal justice for Gov. Dannel P. Malloy, later confirmed the move and said the process to determine how it will work is under way.
"It doesn't require an executive order, but it's something that the DMV (Department of Motor Vehicles) can do on its own as a matter of policy," Lawlor said.
"If someone comes in with the new federal document, they will receive an 'unverified' license" that will be legal for driving but will not be "real ID compliant" under federal law and may not be sufficient ID for federal purposes, such as boarding an airplane, Lawlor said.
The new Connecticut policy is consistent with federal law, he said.
"We're excited to announce an initial victory today," Manship, St. Rose's pastor, told the crowd that filled the church hall, including hundreds of parishioners, many of them immigrants.
"Gov. Malloy's administration will put in place a policy that will give access to a Connecticut driver's license to the undocumented youth and young adults who have received deferred action status from the federal government.
"But CONECT will not stop there. We will not leave the thousands of these young people's parents and families and our neighbors behind," Manship said, flanked by Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus the Most Rev. Peter A. Rosazza, three state senators and clergy from as far as Norwalk.
"So CONECT announces today the Safe Driving Campaign," Manship said. "Together with our legislative allies, we will pursue changes in the law, and our solution is this: to grant ... to all residents of the state, regardless of immigration status, an opportunity to obtain a state of Connecticut driver's license, to register their cars and to properly insure them."
Manship estimated that while the change he announced applies to perhaps 2,000 people, there are likely at least 54,000 undocumented immigrants who would benefit from a broader change.
Those covered by the change Manship announced are people who would be eligible under U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' deferred action program for childhood arrivals.
Deferred action, which Obama announced in August, "is a discretionary determination to defer removal action of an individual as an act of prosecutorial discretion," according to the White House website.
"Under this process, USCIS will consider requests on a case-by-case basis. While this process does not provide lawful status or a pathway to permanent residence or citizenship, individuals whose cases are deferred will not be removed from the United States for a two year period, subject to renewal, and may also receive employment authorization."
To be eligible for deferred action, residents must have come to the U.S. before their 16th birthday, continuously lived in the U.S. since June 15, 2007, be under age 31 as of June 15, 2012, entered the U.S. without inspection or have had their lawful immigration status expire as of June 15, 2012.
They also must be in school, have obtained their G.E.D. or be an honorably discharged veteran and have not been convicted of a felony or significant misdemeanor, or three or more misdemeanors, "and do not otherwise pose a threat," the website says.
Manship was one of several speakers to suggest that allowing undocumented immigrants to obtain driver's licenses and register and insure their vehicles would be good for the state economy.
"It benefits all of us, immigrant and non-immigrants alike," said the Rev. David Blanchfield, pastor of what he described as the overwhelmingly white and non-immigrant congregation of St. Jerome Church in Norwalk.
In New Mexico, which has a similar law, there's been a 23 percent drop in fatal accidents since the law was enacted, and the percentage of uninsured motorists fell from 32 percent to 9 percent, Blanchfield said.
He estimated that the state revenue from issuing Connecticut driver's licenses to undocumented immigrats would be about $2 million, plus more people would buy insurance and register vehicles, with the latter providing additional tax revenue for communities.
The rally was peppered with individual stories.
A young East Haven woman, Gateway Community College student and U.S. citizen, who was identified only by her first name, Mayra, drew perhaps the most attention when she told the crowd how her mother, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico, has, like many mothers, long been "the taxi driver of the family."
But she was stopped last summer on her way to visit family, and because she doesn't have a license, was held all night, along with Mayra's younger brother and sister.
"Now she has a court date and we don't know what will happen," Mayra said, adding that she's worried that her mother might be deported. If that happens, her mother wants her children to remain in the U.S. without her.
Undocumented immigrants need to be able to obtain driver's licenses "so that families don't get ripped apart," Mayra said.
Mayor John DeStefano Jr. joined Manship, along with clergy members from New Haven and Fairfield counties and three state senators: Senate Majority Leader Sen. Martin Looney, D-New Haven, Insurance Committee Co-chairman Sen. Joseph Crisco, D-Woodbridge, and Transportation Committee Co-chairman Sen. Andrew Maynard, D-Stonington.
"I'm here because I believe in America ... as a place where you work hard, accept responsibility for yourself ... and for other people," said DeStefano.
He told the crowd that "leadership does not come from Washington or Hartford," but from people. He asked if they were ready to lead, and received a resounding "yes."
Looney said the legislation that would make driver's licenses available to undocumented immigrants will be introduced soon after the start of the 2013 legislative session, which begins Wednesday.

PLAN: A clear plan is key in helping you meet your longer-term goals e.g. a comfortable retirement.
DESIGN: Designing an investment portfolio that considers your time horizon, your attitude to risk and your capacity for risk.
REVIEW: Helping you stay on track to reaching your goals through changing market and personal conditions.
St. James's Place Wealth Management recognises that no single investment house has a monopoly on investment expertise, and St. James's Place do not employ in-house investment managers. Instead we carefully select a number of external managers of outstanding ability to manage our range of funds.
This has a number of advantages:
- It gives us the freedom to select first-class managers from the global investment market to manage our funds on behalf of our clients
- It enables us to change any of these managers at short notice if we have lost confidence in them, without any charges, or tax, or inconvenience to our clients
- It offers our clients a real opportunity to diversify their investments by spreading their money across funds managed by different managers with different styles
The value of an investment with St. James's Place will be directly linked to the performance of the funds you select and the value can therefore go down as well as up. You may get back less than you invested.

How to Read a Business Credit Report
When you're considering granting credit to new customers, evaluating the reliability of potential suppliers, or analysing your company's own credit standing, it is a good idea to run a credit report.
A typical business credit report provides a snapshot of a company's credit history, including how it pays its bills and manages other financial obligations. Using these reports can help you mitigate risk by identifying warning signs of potential customers' credit problems. They can also help you determine whether your company is an attractive credit prospect for its suppliers.
Be sure that your analysis of a credit report includes a review of the following areas:
Credit risk rating
Many credit reports include a rating system designed to help you gauge potential risk of late or delinquent payments. These ratings are often based on an analysis of a variety of credit factors, such as past payment performance and legal filings, and can be used to help you quickly make a credit decision. A "high risk" rating should be taken seriously.
Payment history
Analyse past payments for signs of how a company manages its bills. Look for timely payments, as well as trends. For example, if you notice that a prospect used to make minimum payments on credit cards and is now paying each month's balance in full, it may be a sign that the company has developed a stable revenue stream and is, therefore, a better credit risk. It's also a good idea to see how a business' payment history compares to other companies in the same field. This will tell you if its payment patterns are in line with industry norms. When reviewing your own report, keep an eye out for similar trends that your suppliers may notice.
Company information and background
A credit report will include the company's name, address, and phone number, and may also have information on its business type, industry (by SIC or NAICS code), the number of employees, sales figures, incorporation status, and key officers. Review this information to make sure it is consistent with your company's records. If it is not, be sure to contact the company for an explanation. Be on the lookout for fictitious company names designed to hide the true ownership of a business, which may be an indication that the company is trying to conceal information.
Legal issues
A credit report will contain information about bankruptcy filings, outstanding lawsuits, liens and court judgments that can help you identify new clients that may be credit risks or suppliers who may or may not be reliable. Be aware that many companies have, at one time or another, faced some kind of lawsuit or other legal proceedings, so the presence of a pending case may not necessarily be important. On the other hand, companies that have liens placed against them or have gone through bankruptcy proceedings should be assessed seriously.
Collection proceedings
Does the company have a history of letting its bills lapse, or having accounts sent out to the collection? Be aware that some late payments may be the result of disputes over merchandise or other non-financial issues.
Company age
Take note of how long the company has been in business. In general, companies that have been around for a number of years are better at managing money than young companies. Young companies may also be good credit risks, but you may need to do more research to assess their creditworthiness. In the case of a new company, check the personal credit reports of company leaders to gain insight into how diligent they are about monitoring bills.
UCC filings
A company's Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) filings will tell you about the liens and leases it has in place. Review this section of the report for clues about how a company uses credit. If it has a number of assets pledged as collateral on existing loans and/or has a high number of trade credit relationships with other businesses, it may be overextended. Take these factors into account before deciding to add your name to its list of creditors.

"Sawasdee ka!" A week ago, I made a trip up north to Hatyai to attend a wedding dinner with my in-laws. Since we stayed there for a couple of days, I managed to try out some of their local food. One of the most notable restaurant which I personally recommend is called Neon Khumthong Garden.
Unlike the overpriced restaurants at the city centre, Neon Khumthong Garden offers a good variety of Thai food at decent prices. No wonder the restaurant is well-known among the locals. Their 'laksa noodle' is a must try dish. Served with raw vegetables such as beansprouts, long beans and etc., it reminded me of 'Ulam' which is the Malay version of salad consisting of vegetables that are usually eaten raw or boiled for a very short period.
The noodle is made from rice flour and it is fatter than our version of Mee Hoon.
The raw vegetables were fresh and crunchy.
But what made dish truly special were the gravy. While I have no idea on what these gravies were made from, they were thick and spicy in a very nice way. The taste just hit the right note with a rich aromatic coconut milk and condiments used.
I was told that the most popular gravy is the yellow one which has cubes of coagulated chicken's blood in it (front bowl in the picture above) but I didn't have the guts to try it.
Nevertheless, I was perfectly contended with the other gravies and literally poured generous quantities all over the soft springy noodle. This is my favourite gravy.
The reddish gravy was also equally good.
To tell the truth, gluttony got the better me and I finished three servings of this delicious dish that day!
Beside the laksa, their Kerabu was also worth trying. It has a slight tinge of sourish taste mix with prawns and squid. This is a good appetizer.
Their fried chicken can easily put KFC to shame. It was crispy on the outside as the chicken is coated with a layer of flour.
The flour is thin enough that you will feel that you are biting onto the real chicken texture which is tender.
And finally the lunch was ended with a fantastic dessert called The Red Rubies or locally known as Tub Tim Grob. The red rubies are actually water chestnut dipped with red colouring. Once you have tried Neon Garden Khumthong's version of Tub Tim Grob, you wouldn't ever want to have this dessert in any Thai restaurant in Malaysia. The chestnuts were so fresh and so was the coconut milk. Coupled with a few slices of jackfruit, this is truly the best dessert ever.
If you ever go to Hatyai, make Neon Garden Khumthong your first choice for food. It is easy to recommend this place after eating at several other restaurants which doesn't even come close to their quality of food offered here.

Reports from this morning have suggested that Netflix is engaging in a PR stunt in an attempt to shift blame to ISPs for the buffering that some of its customers may be experiencing. According to one journalist's tweet from last night, Netflix is displaying a message on the screen for users who experience buffering which says: "The Verizon network is crowded right now."
This claim is not only inaccurate, it is deliberately misleading.
The source of the problem is almost certainly NOT congestion in Verizon's network. Instead, the problem is most likely congestion on the connection that Netflix has chosen to use to reach Verizon's network. Of course, Netflix is solely responsible for choosing how their traffic is routed into any ISP's network.
Some reporters seem to have bought into Netflix's claims without question, and some have conflated this dispute with net neutrality. For those looking for more careful analysis, however, there is plenty of good material out there by technical experts (such as industry analyst Dan Rayburn) that set the record straight. One of the best stories is an informative piece by Maggie Reardon on CNET, which explains what is really going on. (And of course, there is my own blog post from last summer when this story first started appearing.)
It is sad that Netflix is willing to deliberately mislead its customers so they can be used as pawns in business negotiations and regulatory proceedings.
It would be more accurate for Netflix's message screen to say: "The path that we have chosen to reach Verizon's network is crowded right now."
However, that would highlight their responsibility for the problem.

Obama: A Climate Conversation Across the Country
November 15, 2012
With the second major poll I've seen this week – we see a seismic shift occurring in American attitudes in regard to climate. Today, the president gave, in his press conference, about as detailed a statement as he has yet made on his developing approach to the climate issue.
Superstorm Sandy is fueling concerns about climate change and how it's inflating the costs and risks of extreme weather, according to a new post-election poll from Zogby Analytics. The poll shows key voting groups in the 2012 election – Hispanics, women, young voters – are among those most concerned with confronting climate change now and protecting America's air, water, wildlife and other natural resources.
These results show the dramatic impact 2012′s extreme weather has had across party lines, with half of Republicans, 73 percent of independents and 82 percent of Democrats saying they're worried about the growing cost and risks of extreme weather disasters fueled by climate change. It's a major change from our December 2009 poll, which showed two-thirds of Republicans and nearly half of political independents saying they were 'not at all concerned' about global climate change and global warming. The political climate has shifted and members of Congress need to catch up with their constituents.
Among the poll's findings:
- Two-thirds of voters (65 percent) say elected officials should take steps now to reduce the impact of climate change on future generations, while just 27 percent say we should wait for more evidence.
- A strong majority (57 percent) says climate change is adding to the severity of recent extreme weather such as Superstorm Sandy and the summer droughts. Concern is even deeper among key demographics, with 75 percent of Hispanics, 67 percent of African Americans, 65 percent of women, and 65 percent of voters 25-34 agreeing that climate change is fueling America's extreme weather.
- Seven in ten voters (69 percent) are greatly or somewhat worried about the growing cost and risks of extreme weather disasters fueled by climate change. Six in ten (58 percent) of Tea Party sympathizers are greatly or somewhat worried, showing a connection between climate action and fiscal responsibility.
Q Thank you, Mr. President. In his endorsement of you a few weeks ago, Mayor Bloomberg said he was motivated by the belief that you would do more to confront the threat of climate change than your opponent. Tomorrow you're going up to New York City where you're going to, I assume, see people who are still suffering the effects of Hurricane Sandy, which many people say is further evidence of how a warming globe is changing our weather. What specifically do you plan to do in a second term to tackle the issue of climate change? And do you think the political will exists in Washington to pass legislation that could include some kind of attacks on carbon?
THE PRESIDENT: As you know, Mark, we can't attribute any particular weather event to climate change. What we do know is the temperature around the globe is increasing faster than was predicted even 10 years ago. We do know that the Arctic ice cap is melting faster than was predicted even five years ago. We do know that there have been extraordinarily — there have been an extraordinarily large number of severe weather events here in North America, but also around the globe.
And I am a firm believer that climate change is real, that it is impacted by human behavior and carbon emissions. And as a consequence, I think we've got an obligation to future generations to do something about it.
Now, in my first term, we doubled fuel efficiency standards on cars and trucks. That will have an impact. That will take a lot of carbon out of the atmosphere. We doubled the production of clean energy, which promises to reduce the utilization of fossil fuels for power generation. And we continue to invest in potential breakthrough technologies that could further remove carbon from our atmosphere. But we haven't done as much as we need to.
So what I'm going to be doing over the next several weeks, next several months, is having a conversation, a wide-ranging conversation with scientists, engineers, and elected officials to find out what can — what more can we do to make a short-term progress in reducing carbons, and then working through an education process that I think is necessary — a discussion, a conversation across the country about what realistically can we do long term to make sure that this is not something we're passing on to future generations that's going to be very expensive and very painful to deal with.
I don't know what either Democrats or Republicans are prepared to do at this point, because this is one of those issues that's not just a partisan issue; I also think there are regional differences. There's no doubt that for us to take on climate change in a serious way would involve making some tough political choices. And understandably, I think the American people right now have been so focused, and will continue to be focused on our economy and jobs and growth, that if the message is somehow we're going to ignore jobs and growth simply to address climate change, I don't think anybody is going to go for that. I won't go for that.
If, on the other hand, we can shape an agenda that says we can create jobs, advance growth, and make a serious dent in climate change and be an international leader, I think that's something that the American people would support.
So you can expect that you'll hear more from me in the coming months and years about how we can shape an agenda that garners bipartisan support and helps move this agenda forward.
Q Sounds like you're saying, though, in the current environment, we're probably still short of a consensus on some kind of attack.
THE PRESIDENT: That I'm pretty certain of. And, look, we're still trying to debate whether we can just make sure that middle-class families don't get a tax hike. Let's see if we can resolve that. That should be easy. This one is hard — but it's important because one of the things that we don't always factor in are the costs involved in these natural disasters; we just put them off as something that's unconnected to our behavior right now. And I think what — based on the evidence we're seeing, is that what we do now is going to have an impact and a cost down the road if we don't do something about it.

Synopsis from President Obama:
I believe climate change is real. We have an obligation to future generations.
As President for the last four years, I doubled fuel efficiency standards for cars built 15 years in the future. If, say, a President after me is a Republican before 2025, they could reverse that. Or, if it's just too darned expensive, it can be ignored.
I've also doubled our non-hydro clean energy production – from 3% to 6%. We now only use about 83% of our total energy mix in fossil fuels instead of the 86% it was in 2002. A lot of that came from the stimulus packages, which are now ending. And simultaneously I'm greatly increasing gas and oil fracking rights across the nation.
Yeah, I guess we haven't done as much as we need to do.
So, that's why, after four years as President, I'm going to get together a discussion group as to what else we can do. But – we can't really do anything that will hurt our extremely fragile economy. I refuse to do that. And it'll have to pass a Republican-controlled House. You know, I'm not sure what other Republicans and Democrats think about all this. We'll have a national conversation about it, and I'm so sure vested interests won't try to sway public opinion or our political leaders that it doesn't need to be mentioned.
You can be sure you'll hear more pretty words from me in the next few months and years as to figuring out an agenda, though. I can promise you that.
Right now we need to focus on the "fiscal cliff". That'll be an easy problem to fix. Our kids will see the impacts of what we do or don't do regarding climate change, however.

STATE COLLEGE - Penn State is off to a 2-0 start. The offense has looked crisp, the defense stingy and there are still some cushy home games left before Big Ten season arrives.
Indeed, it's a good time for the Nittany Lions.
But there's work ahead. Coach Bill O'Brien sees quite a few areas for improvement, and he can start with third-down conversions.
Batting a perfect 1.000 in wins and losses, Penn State is far from that with its 2-for-26 third-down conversion rate (.077). That ranks last among 123 NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams.
Only Memphis and Pittsburgh join Penn State in converting just two third downs this season. But the Tigers and Panthers have played just one game each.
Penn State plays again Saturday against Central Florida (2-0) at home, and will try to work on that percentage.
Despite a 6.4-yard average on offensive plays, a 4-for-4 conversion rate on fourth down, and 22 plays of 15 yards or more, Penn State's coach and a handful of offensive players know the third-down number must improve ... or else.
'It will get better,' O'Brien said. 'I can't guarantee it. I'm not into guarantees, but I do believe we're working on it and it will definitely, in my opinion, improve. It needs to. There's no question about it.'
The Nittany Lions can start with better production on first down. Penn State has gained 152 yards on 32 series-opening play. About half of that yardage resulted from two, long receptions.
'We have to get off to a better start on first down,' O'Brien said. 'Whether it's a penalty to put us back, or a penalty that puts us in second and long, we're already off schedule. It's not a good thing,' O'Brien said. 'Once we get to third down, we have to execute better.'
Being focused from the outset is wide receiver Allen Robinson's theory.
'Executing the game plan and as a receiver coming down with some balls and making some blocks,' he said. 'We have to eliminate turnovers and convert opportunities. We can't keep giving the ball back to their offense.'
According to offensive guard Miles Dieffenbach, it's all about effort.
'Every play you give it your all, but third down especially,' Dieffenbach said. 'That's a down you really have to capitalize on. You have to win the third-down battle of the game. It's an important aspect of the game to help separate you from winning big or losing.
'We just have to be better. We can't shoot ourselves in the foot. We have to stop making mistakes.'
Running back Bill Belton, who rushed for 108 yards against Eastern Michigan, can help. He has experience carrying the ball for the tough yards, and shares a similar opinion with Dieffenbach.
'If we don't make mental mistakes - like line-of-scrimmage penalties - we'll be fine,' Belton said. 'We just have to cut out mistakes as a group and we can definitely do better on third down.'
Better offensive execution on third down is how offensive tackle Donovan Smith explains it.
'Whether it's me blocking better or receivers running better routes or quarterbacks making better throws,' he said, 'the whole team has to execute better.'
Regardless of down and distance, O'Brien knows what his team cannot do.
'If we go in there (against Central Florida) and turn it over and commit penalties,' he said, 'we're going to have a long night.'
-- NOTES: Central Florida (2-0) is a member of the new American Athletic Conference, and has victories over Akron (38-7), and Florida International (38-0). ... O'Brien is now 10-4 with Penn State, and the Nittany Lions have won four straight, dating back to Nov. 17, 2012.

But that doesn't stop those who try to justify holding derivatives and mortgages at a model price that is based on default rates and prices of bubble years gone by. Obviously the bubble has burst, but these models are used to avoid taking losses. Losses are in fact so huge that should the banks be forced to mark their "assets" to their current value they would be quite literally unable to claim positive net worth. In fact cash flows have already completely collapsed, that is exactly what the crisis of 2008 was about. The interim "solution" has been to allow the banks to exchange those "assets" to the Fed in exchange for cash (cash backed by the people's future earnings). Call it whatever you want, Quantitative Easing, Permanent Open Market Operation (POMO), whatever… it's all the same, and its purpose is two fold: First is to create the illusion of cash flow so that the Ponzi doesn't collapse, and the second is to artificially buy down interest rates.
But accounting fraud isn't just a bank thing; it is rampant throughout corporate America. It's Enron times a Billion.
Corporate "earnings" have become nothing short of a marketing event. "Expectations" are managed not by professional financiers, but instead by marketing professionals who are often promoted to the very top ranks of corporations – CEO's, for example, now often have marketing expertise as it is more highly valued in this era of spin than is real operational expertise. Why shouldn't it be? Corporations can set expectations as desired and always "beat" those expectations by using tricks such as reporting "operating earnings" that exclude "one time" events. Of course these one time events occur every single quarter. The financial media spins these expectations to investors who have bought off on the concept that it's the "beat" that matters, not the actual performance. The industry further spins valuations basing them on some FORWARD looking model – in other words earnings models based upon the performance of financially engineered mark-to-fantasy models.
How much of an influence is this? The chart below is a chart from the "Federal" Reserve Bank of St. Louis illustrating total Corporate Profits After Tax. Note that profits went parabolic as derivatives and Mark-to-Model accounting exploded. Then in September, 2007 FASB (Financial Accounting Standards Board) instated rule 157 known as "fair value accounting," or what is referred to as Mark-to-Market. Note what happened to corporate profits during this time! Then in 2009 under pressure from the banks, Congress, in turn, pressured the FASB to reinstate Mark-to Model accounting – and just look at corporate "profits" as a result!
Below you can see a chart of Corporate Profits After Tax compared to the S&P 500 price in red:
This same effect can be seen when looking at trailing price to earnings ratio, the only P/E ratio that matters and has been used consistently up until the modern era of spin. Note how Mark-to-Market accounting revealed the true valuation of the market! Then Mark-to-Fantasy is reinstated and the true value of the market is again hidden to obscure reality:
While I'm not an accountant, I have a lot of accounting experience and have had training in the field. What I also have is experience in the military, in my own businesses and investments, and also working in a large corporate environment. My military and corporate experiences opened my eyes to the way the world really works at this point in time. Let's just say that I have moral and ethical problems with the way things are going. That's why it's nice to read a realistic personal report from someone who is an accounting professional and who also possesses a moral compass! Hopefully the next time you are reading a corporate annual report or are being bombarded with what a great value the market is, or how XYZ "beat" the street, you will understand that it is a professionally spun game that may not be entirely on the up and up…
'The Liars and Thieves Are Moving Ahead in This Country'
By Michael J. Panzner
I've lived though more than five decades thinking that people are basically decent but after all that has happened and the many facts that have come to light in recent years, I guess I'm pretty naive.
Indeed, a post by Charles Hugh Smith, author of Survival+: Structuring Prosperity for Yourself and the Nation and publisher of the Of Two Minds blog, entitled "The Rot Within: Our Culture of Financial Fraud and the Anger of the Honest," features commentary by an accountant with decades of experience in high-level global consulting firms and Fortune 50 U.S. corporations that suggests things have truly reached a low point."I belong to a large number of finance organizations and sometimes I even assist clients with hiring a finance person. Since I have a lot of experience with finance and accounting, when I am interviewing these people I know when I am getting a BS answer and unlike most BS recruiters I do not steer away from controversy since I am truly looking for the most qualified for my clients and not who is just most marketable to them. After I start drilling down you would be amazed (or maybe you wouldn't) how many of these CFO's and Controller types were basically dismissed because they would not cook the books in some manner.
Now maybe I have told you that I was asked to resign from one of the nations largest companies (a company that I worked hard for and saved from bankruptcy and due to my actions had created) in the US because I refused to book a revenue entry for over a million dollars which was unsupported and the CFO (I had been the CFO up until a merger) blew up with me when I asked him to send a memo telling me to record it. Funny, a few years and one acquisition later it melted down as one of the biggest accounting frauds in US history.
My next gig as the CFO for a NYSE company I basically walked in and found what I would consider a $60 million dollar accounting fraud in one day (once again a mark to market issue draining cash flow and sucking the company into a dark hole). Corrected that accounting problem and the company began to prosper but since I thought the board and upper management was so corrupt I left (Chairman of the Audit Committee was found guilty at another large company for back dating options).
The next public company where not only was I the CFO but prior to that a board member, I was basically asked to resign for BS reasons a couple of weeks later after I pointed out what the board was asking me to do was basically wire fraud and of course they backed off quickly and said they would get a legal opinion from our law firm (one of the top 10 in the US) to cover me. In the same meeting our outside legal counsel said he had a problem giving such an opinion and I pointed out that a legal opinion did not keep me from being both civil and criminally liable. It should be noted that this was another company that 2 years before I came in and took the reins as CFO/COO and pulled the company out of black hole of looming bankruptcy and made it profitable in the first time in its history since it went public and then refinanced the company. In summary a year after I left the company had burned through the money I raised and the Board sold the company for nothing.
There is lots of bitterness out there with the straight shooting finance people. Many of them find themselves unemployable. This stretches from banks, Private Equity, Investment Banking, through the large accounting firms (the average partner in the large accounting firms any more is a pathological liar) to senior finance people in organizations. Right before Enron and MCI blew-up, I actually had a BS HR person tell me I was not flexible enough. I wanted to tell this idiot that I knew where flexibility got me and it was an orange jumpsuit. Bankers and Companies only hire the weakest and most pliable senior finance executives they can find.
One other short story. A while back I was at a networking meeting with a large group of CFO and ex-CFO's. I asked this group how many thought that most CEO's wanted a weak CFO working for them. Approximately 70% of the attendees raised their hand! You have to remember that the only person who had steady access to the Board is the CFO.
The point, the middle class is becoming torn and frayed and there is real anger out there. The common belief is that only the liars and thieves are moving ahead in this country."

Winners of the 1999 Feynman Prizes
The 1999 Feynman Prizes in Nanotechnology were awarded during the Seventh Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology to Phaedon Avouris of IBM for experimental work, and to a team led by William A. Goddard III at Caltech for theoretical work.
Dr. Avouris, of the IBM T.J.Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, NY, is a leader in the development of carbon nanotubes for potential computing device applications. This work is considered directly on the pathway to molecular-scale computationnecessary for the computer industry to stay on the Moore's Law curve, which predicts atomic-level precision before 2015.
Professor William Goddard, Dr. Tahir Cagin, and Ms. Yue Qi shared the theory prize for their work in modeling the operation of molecular machine designs. Proposed designs for future molecular machine systems can be tested today on powerful supercomputers using sophisticated programs that accurately model the laws of chemistry, giving us a clearer picture both of what works and what doesn't work. Goddard's groupwhich operates out of the Materials and Process Simulation Center, Caltech, in Pasadena, CAdoes some of the most advanced modeling possible today.
The Prizes include a cash award of $5000 per team. They are named in honor of the late Nobel Prizewinning physicist Richard Feynman, whose 1959 talk "There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom" inspired many researchers to pursue the ultimate in miniaturization.
Finalists for the 1999 Feynman Prizes
The following five individuals or teams were selected as Finalists for the 1999 Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology, Experimental:

1999 Feynman Prizes for Theoretical and Experimental Molecular Nanotechnology
Two prizes in the amount of $5,000 each will be awarded to the researchers whose recent work has most advanced the development of molecular nanotechnology. This year again separate prizes will be awarded for theoretical work and for experimental work. The prizes will be given at the Seventh Foresight Conference on Molecular Nanotechnology, to be held October 15-17, 1999.
This prize is in honor of Richard P. Feynman who, in 1959, gave a visionary talk at Caltech in which he said "The problems of chemistry and biology can be greatly helped if our ability to see what we are doing, and to do things on an atomic level, is ultimately developeda development which I think cannot be avoided."
Relevant Research Areas
Research areas considered relevant to molecular nanotechnology and molecular manufacturing include but are not limited to:
Special consideration will be given to submissions clearly leading toward the construction of a general-purpose molecular assembler. Applicants wishing further information on the field of the prize are referred to the book Nanosystems: Molecular Machinery, Manufacturing, and Computation (Wiley Interscience, 1992).
Selection Committee for the 1999 Prize
A committee of previous Feynman Prize winners has been invited to select this year's honorees:
Previous Feynman Prize winners
Distinctions between the annually awarded Feynman Prizes and the Feynman Grand Prize
The 1999 Feynman Prize will be the most recent in a series of annually awarded prizes for accomplishment in molecular nanotechnology. Both the annual Feynman Prize in Nanotechnology and the Feynman Grand Prize are sponsored by the Foresight Institute to encourage and accelerate the development of molecular nanotechnology. Both are named in honor of Nobel laureate physicist Richard Feynman. However, these prizes differ in focus, frequency of award, and scale.
Submission or Nomination Procedures
Either submit your own work or nominate a colleague who deserves this prize.
Submissions (and nominations) consist of up to five maximum of the following:
In addition, each submission or nomination must include a one-page summary of the work and its relevance to the goal of molecular nanotechnology and/or molecular manufacturing. [If the journal article submitted has multiple authors, the applicant's (nominee's) role in the research must be stated.] Summaries may be up to 400 words in length.
Submissions should be mailed to the Foresight Institute at the postal address below, to arrive by July 27,1999. One copy of the paper or thesis and one copy of the one-page summary are required. The summary must include the applicant's address, telephone, and (if possible) fax number and email address. In the case of nominations, contact information should be included for both nominator and nominee. Finalists may be contacted for additional information. The prizewinner must be present at the conference to accept the prize.
Applications may also be based upon more than one research paper, up to a maximum of five papers, in which case a copy of each paper should be submitted.
Individual submissions are preferred, but teams of up to three will be considered. Team members may not be changed after the submission deadline.

NONPOINT release 'The Return' behind the scenes video on Loudwire.com!
- 19/08/14 –
"Breaking Skin" streaming on-line now!
NONPOINT are set to release their eighth studio album, "The Return," on September 26th via Metal Blade Records in Europe. The band will be releasing a series of behind the scenes studio videos on Loudwire.com; the first video is streaming now HERE. Additional episodes will be posted in the coming weeks.
After 17 years in the game, the Florida quintet sustains the same energy that sparked its foundation back in 1997. The riffs crack with intensity, the bass and drums forge an unmatched groove, and the vocals rapidly recount stories of pain and perseverance. "The Return" remains as raw, ripping, and real as these musicians-Elias Soriano [vocals], Robb Rivera [drums], Rasheed Thomas [guitar], Adam Woloszyn [bass], and B.C. Kochmit [guitar]-get.
Pre-order "The Return" and stream "Breaking Skin" now at metalblade.com/nonpoint.
Elias explains the meaning behind the first single: "It's about addiction, whether it be food, drugs, sex, lying, or anything, that tends to turn into an itch. You can't stop scratching it so you break skin. Then, you're bleeding. You need to get help at that point and deal with it."
In February 2014, NONPOINT entered Groovemaster Studios with Grammy Award-nominated producer Johnny K (Disturbed, Staind, Megadeth) and engineer Daniel Salcidoto. It marked their second collaboration together, and this time, the band had already amassed an arsenal of tight and tough material. Vocalist Elias Soriano elaborates: "I wanted to play with vocal patterns and tell longer stories in some places, while saying very little in others. The record has its own DNA because each song respectively does as well." Drummer Robb Rivera goes on, "Johnny is like the sixth member of our band at this point! He works us, and he pulls no punches. It was such a natural thing that we only needed to track for three weeks. Johnny understands the band and what we are, and he encourages us to be ourselves."
A vital energy has coursed through NONPOINT's music since day one. As a result, they've sold over 800,000 albums in North America alone, yielding hits including "What A Day", "Bullet With A Name", and a cover of Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight"-which appeared in Miami Vice. They've also crisscrossed the country with everybody from Stone Sour, Disturbed, and Papa Roach to Sevendust, All That Remains, and Device, also appearing at festivals including OZZfest, Rock on the Range, and Summerfest.

this maybe the same question from before, but always want to ask when a new release comes out.
it seems now the Sencha Touch 2 is more similar to ExtJS 4 now,
is Sencha Touch 2 and ExtJS 4 compatible to each other?
or do I still have to write 2 version for mobile and pc ?

Walmart speaks out against proposed transmission lines
Company files petition to intervene against power line plan
Walmart is speaking out against a proposed plan from Southwestern Electric Power Company, or SWEPCO, to build nearly 50 miles of transmission line.
The transmission line would run through Benton County into Carroll County.
In a petition to intervene drafted by the Walmart Real Estate Business Trust, the company said the transmission line would have a negative effect on property owned by the company.
Walmart owns about 126 acres of land that could be affected by the transmission line.
In the petition to intervene one attorney wrote, "Walmart's interest for the future use and development of the Site are unique, which include the construction of a retail store, associated parking lot, and landscaping."
40/29 News contacted the attorney who filed that request. He said he could not comment on the case.
In a statement from Walmart, the company said it reviews potential real estate investments all the time, and that there are no immediate plans to develop the land affected by the transmission lines.
One local attorney explained what could happen next for Walmart and others affected by the transmission line.
"The utility companies will reach out to the individual owners and try to make a deal," said Garrett Ham, a legal attorney. "If they don't reach a deal, they'll go through the condemnation process. At that point, they can take it without your permission, but you will be compensated for the fair value of the land taken."
Ham has a law firm in Bentonville. He said if SWEPCO can prove the need for the transmission line, it will be difficult to stop construction.
"If you're going to fight a utility line easement, it is going to be an uphill battle," he said. "It doesn't mean that you're not going to win, that doesn't mean that it's 100 percent that the utility company will be successful in their endeavor."
Business and homeowners would not be the only ones affected by the transmission line.
"I ride out here about four times a week," said Robert Garcia, who rides his bike on the trails off Highway 71, just down the road from where the transmission line would be located.
"To cut through these trees, it wouldn't be good," said Garcia. "There's some bike trails in there, too. It would be bad for the bike scene."

I'm a little in doubt whether we should make a 2.14.2 bugfix release or not.
This is what we currently have in the R2_14 branch:
Bugfix: Unquoted program path vulnerability in installer integration with subversion (patches:#3030)
Bugfix: Download link to the 7-zip plugin installer is broken (bugs:#2128)
Translation updates:
- Basque (patches:#3024)
- Spanish (patches:#3027)
- Italian (patches:#3028)
- Russian (patches:#3029)
It's especially the unquoted program path vulnerability that makes me think we should get this released.
But is this serious enough to warrant a release in itself?
