Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization
Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization Screenshots
New York, NY – June 9, 2008 – 2K Games, a publishing label of Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc. (NASDAQ: TTWO), announced today that Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization™, the next offering in the award-winning Civilization IV® universe, is currently in development at 2K's world-renowned Firaxis Games development studio. Conceived from the ground up to take advantage of the Civilization IV engine, Colonization will be available fall 2008 exclusively for Games for Windows®.
"We've received many requests from fans over the years to bring back Colonization and now seemed to be the perfect time to do that," said Sid Meier, director of creative development at Firaxis Games. "The Civilization IV engine provided a fantastic foundation for a new Colonization experience and allowed us to create something great for both new players and long time fans of the game."
In Colonization, players lead one of four European nations on a quest to conquer and rule the New World. Players will be challenged to guide their people from the oppressive motherland, discover the New World, and negotiate, trade and fight with both the natives and other nations as they acquire power and fight for freedom and independence.
As a complete reimagining of the 1994 classic, Colonization is a total conversion of Civilization IV that combines Civilization's addictive "just one more turn" gameplay with all-new graphics and features that add more depth to the franchise. New features, such as a brand-new interface, improved diplomacy options and the included modding tools ensure that Colonization will be the next great title from gaming's premier strategy game developer.
Sid Meier's Civilization IV: Colonization for Games for Windows will be available fall 2008 and has not yet been rated by the ESRB. For more information, please visit www.civilization.com
*Colonization does not require the original Civilization IV product in order to be played.

This item went out of stock two times before I could get it ordered. Finally on the third try I got it ordered in time. When it arrived it looked much more expensive and it actually was. The color was great and I had no problem getting my nook to fit as some people had previously reported. This was a great item and would definitely recommend it to anyone.
I like this case. It seems pretty sturdy and I love the color. My NookColor fits snugly inside. Really good price. I was not aware of the pocket on the inside-- great surprise. I would definitely recommend this case!
Bought this cover for my Nook Color tablet/e-reader and I love it! Looks just like the picture. Great quality, great color, great buy!
The case seems like good quality and you cannot beat the price. However the size is smaller than most other nook color/tablet covers. It is definitely a tight fit!!
I wish I would have sprang for a more expensive protector this one is cheap and poorly made
Looked and felt like plastic, not leather. This item was returned for a full refund.
This is a great case for my daughter's nook- it looks great and protects it.
Received the nook cover and the color was exactly as pictured. My nook fits snugly which is great so i do not have to worry about it slipping out. I like the cushion feel of the cover when i am holding it. I like everything about this.
My only quibble is the magnet slipped out of place, but, did not hurt the look. Cover fit like glove.
I loved it! Especially the color and the feel of the case. Not something cheap for sure. It priced just right!

Moon and Spica
- ‹ Previous program
- 137 of 2173
- Next program ›
The Moon and the star Spica stage quite an encounter tonight. At their closest, during early evening, they'll be just a couple of degrees apart, with Spica to the Moon's left or upper left. They'll remain together as they wheel across the south during the night.
If you were standing on the Moon and looking back toward Earth, you wouldn't see Spica at all -- it's below the horizon for the lunar hemisphere that faces our way. It won't rise for about another week. When Spica does rise, it'll remain in view for two weeks, rotating across the sky at a leisurely pace. And when it sets, it'll remain hidden for two weeks more.
That's because the Moon rotates much more slowly than Earth does, so it takes four weeks to complete one turn on its axis with respect to the stars.
It takes a couple of days longer to complete its cycle of phases and have the Sun return to the same position in the sky, though. During that time, Earth and the Moon move a good distance in their mutual orbit around the Sun. So each time the Sun sets, a slightly different slice of the night sky is climbing into view.
Of course, on the airless Moon, you wouldn't have to wait for nightfall to see the stars -- they're in view all the time. But you would have to shield your eyes against the glare of sunlight reflecting off the lunar surface. Only after your eyes adapt to the darkness could you see the stars -- shining without twinkling in the lunar sky.

Comings and Goings is a blog written by Theology, Worship and Education Director Charles B. "Chip" Hardwick as he travels throughout the church. God is on the move out and about in the world, working to redeem all things in Jesus Christ. As we join this mission, by the power of the Spirit we see God on the move. This blog contains glimpses of how Chip finds this to be true in his comings and goings.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to preach fairly regularly as I travel throughout the church. I will post them periodically, as I do three recent sermons here.

CHIPPENHAM TOWN: Chippenham Town 0 Arlesey Town 0
6:35pm Saturday 13th October 2012 in Sport By Dan Barnes
TEN MAN Chippenham Town had to settle for a point at home earlier this afternoon as they were held to a goalless draw by Arlesey Town.
The Bluebirds had captain Scott Rogers sent off for two bookings late in the first half but despite their man disadvantage, were on the front foot for the majority of the game and were left frustrated not to have taken all three points.
Dean Griffiths needed treatment after taking a knock in the first minute but he was soon back causing the Arlesey defence problems and in the 11th minute, flashed a cross into the area that was just out of reach for strike partner Lee Phillips.
A flowing team move saw Steve Casey's ball create a moment of panic for visiting keeper Nathan Abbey and in the 18th minute, Griffiths carved out a glorious opportunity to put Chippenham ahead.
The striker out-muscled full-back Luke Thurlbourne and then rode a challenge from Ryan Frater to get himself in on goal but when Griffiths finally got his shot off, it was much too weak and was gathered easily by Abbey.
Griffiths threatened twice more as the half wore on but in the 38th minute, the Bluebirds were handed an uphill task as Rogers saw red.
The midfielder was first cautioned for sliding in on James Hatch from behind, despite protesting that he won the ball, and then minutes later, Rogers caught Arlesey's Chris Dillon and was shown his second yellow card by referee Adam Penwell.
But Nathan Rudge's men remained in the ascendancy and four minutes before the break, Phillips latched on to a quickly-taken free kick but his shot rolled agonisingly wide of the target.
Chippenham may have expected the visitors to take the advantage in the second period but the Arlesey pressure never came and Griffiths had a powerful strike clawed away by keeper Abbey ten minutes in.
But shortly after the hour mark, the away side finally carved out an opening when striker Dillon played in substitute Aston Goss but debutant Bluebirds goalie Ben John came out of his goal to save well from the Arlesey man.
At the other end, Josh Egan threatened three times in succession.
First the winger looped a left-footed volley over the bar before firing just wide of the target with another volley and then almost catching out Abbey with a powerfully-struck set-piece from deep that was heading for the top corner.
John was again called into action in the 76th minute as he saved Dillon's close range effort after he was picked out by winger Chris Marsh.
Five minutes from time, Luke Ballinger floated in a corner that found Rudge at the edge of the area but he could only direct his header wide of the goal.
CHIPPENHAM TOWN: Ben John, Alex Kite, Tyrone Mings, Ashley Williams, Steve Casey, Nathan Rudge, Josh Egan (Toby Osman 83), Scott Rogers, Scott Lye, Dean Griffiths (Luke Ballinger 78), Lee Phillips (Alan Griffin 62).
Subs not used: Clayton Fortune, Brandon Barnes.

The East Buttress of El Cap is a classic adventure up the right hand shoulder of El Cap. The route doesn't really feel like your on El Cap, but it does afford good views, and more often than not, it is the first and only route that most climbers will ever free climb on the Captain. It is one of the more popular routes in the Valley, so be prepared for traffic jams and a long day, but it since the crux comes early and most of the climbing is much more moderate, fast parties can usually finish the route in about half a day. Sorry about the crap description. I adopted it and haven't had a chance to update it.
There used to be a bolt (or was it a pin?) at the crux. But I gather it is no longer there? Great topo, by the way. In the spring there is sometimes a spectacular waterfall just west of this route. What often happens that time of year is that the route is dry in the morning, but then the wind begins blowing slightly up the valley, and the waterfall is blown onto the route! Beware of this, just because it faces south in the spring it may not be dry. It can be exciting watching the waterfall drift towards you from the top of the second pitch!
The topo image is a very nice touch. Well done, and something to think about for the future of this website/database.
I'm considering this route for my annual big climb/road trip. I've read the stuff about this route online, the Supertopo section, etc. I'm also comfortable at this level on trad granite. But details, details...Anyone have any tips re: Gear? Anything particularly useful, esp. something to double up on, etc? Any quirks on routefinding? Are the pitches fair for the grade or sandbags? Any other tips for this route? Thanks.
The only way I ever got to climb the Captain. I'm pretty sure that was a pin pounded in the corner for pro. The climb was a challange for me. I led all the 5.9's. I had just gotten my first pair of sticky rubber shoes that summer. It was a little polished even then.
Saw a photo in Climbing magazine, back in the 80's of someone on P3 and just had to do this route. What a great and classic climb.
The first two pitches are linked (w/ a bit of simuling up very easy terrain for both climbers) w/ a 60 M. A useful way to pass a party who uses the belay after the 5.9 chimney.
The Super Topo guide book indicates that the crux traverse on pitch 2 can not be aided. I found this to be inaccurate. The belay on top of pitch 1 hangs just left of this 2-3 move crux. Falling at that point involves swinging back into your belayer. In my case there was a party behind us (with the popularity of this route you can expect to share it with others) thus, we decided to aid past this section instead of trying to figure out the move and holding up others. Here is the aid beta: down climbed about 4 feet, traversed right to the corner, placed a small cam (BD C3 00) just below an old unusable pin, stepped up on a sling and kept on going. My personal opinion is that this crux is out of character with the rest of the route and skipping it is no major loss.
Not sure how you'd know, Sergio, if you didn't do the moves. Calling a sequence of moves on a route that follows natural features and weaknesses 'out of character' is weak. Judging the aesthetic value of that sequence relative to the rest of the climb when you haven't done the moves is weaker. It ain't a gym route, it's a natural line, take it on its own terms. Grrr, end pointless rant here, sorry.
Did the moves, reversed the moves, fell, aided for speed. My personal opinion is that it is a great route regardless of how someone gets past the crux. But please don't take my personal opinion too seriously; go find out for yourself.
Fun route, although there is a lot of choss and 4th class on it. Half the pitches were good, the other half were forgettable. Still, a fun trip up an iconic rock. The crux is a short sequence that's all there. The supertopo lists one pitch, maybe p10, as the 'psychological crux' with poor pro. BS. Be sure you get to lead this pitch, it is the best on the route by far, and takes great nuts and small cams all over the face, with really fun climbing.
I don't seem to see the great topo listed in above comments. Also thought I might add that for the hardmen/women out there you can approach the climb by climbing Moratorium adding a handful of more difficult pitches.
Karsten: Try this one: fishproducts.com/topos/yostopos/eastbutt.gif Pitch by pitch blow by blow and PDF of the topo: fishproducts.com/topos/yostopos/eastbutt.html
I think 5.9+ is a pretty accurate grade for most of this route. Given all the other gnarly 5.9's in the valley, this one is no different. The .10b is a couple of techy moves at the start of pitch 2 -- well protected and short. Once you're past those, it's just burly 5.9.
bailed from the top of the 7th pitch (supertopo pitches) in late june due to massive amounts of water from horsetail falls. it seems that it was an abnormally wet year. we checked horsetail from the base and it didn't seem to be making it to the route but things were quite different when we got up there. we did pitch 7 around 11AM and there was maybe 1-5mm thick water sheeting down the rock. doing the mini roof in these conditions was pretty exciting, but it looked like the route was soaked for at least another 4 pitches up. I wonder if the crux is slightly harder after our passing because a thin edging foothold peeled off as I was pulling the crux move. it seemed a tad stiff for valley 10b, but it was only one well protected move. offset aliens worked well. If the top half is as good as the bottom half I'll have to come back. also, don't be afraid of the 5.9 chimney. not bad at all.
FFA: Frank Sacherer, Wally Reed, 1964
Did anybody link pitches? Like P3 and P4, or P4 and P5? Maybe with a 70m?
Fun route. We were able to do it in 8 pitches. The Falcon guide broke it up into 13! We simul climbed the 3rd and 4th pitches, 4th class to 5.6 arete and a ways up the ledges with no problems. The two pitches before the 5.5 traverse which is before the traverse to knobs pitch can also be linked easily with a 60m rope. Watch for rope drag on the traverse to knobs pitch. Lots of room for protection but one needs slings. Large but very polished holds. Quite possibly the money pitch. From the talus ledge above this pitch, one can run it all the way to the top. There is a fixed nut at the crux step over. Also there are fixed lines for the rap down.
Has anyone climbed or know the rating of the off route anchors at pitch 8 (supertopo)/ 5(fish topo)?
Beginning pitch linking recommendation: use the optional tree belay 30' off the ground, then link pitches 1 & 2 with a 60M. This way, you hit the 10b crux mid rope, instead of right off a piton/fixed nut belay in awkward factor 2 fall range. Enjoy it, it's absolutely beautiful!
I'd call the P1 chimney 5.8 at most, being generous. The only 5.9 on that pitch is the end. Please don't be obnoxious and haul packs. It is plenty reasonable to trail packs on P1, and if they are kept small and light, it is no big deal leading with a pack on the rest of the pitches. The party in front of us hauled 2 packs for most of the pitches! A better way to aid the crux if you're in a hurry, is to do the following (better with double ropes for the second to follow!): From the P1 anchor, lieback up about 10-15 ft on the corner that continues above, and tension traverse over from there on bomber gear. I found the cracks beyond tricky, but stepped in a sling to get higher to set a better placement and begin free climbing. Bring 1-2 #4 C4s and a #5 to comfortably protect P9 if you're doing the OW variation, which is mostly liebacked, with a few deep fist jams. This gear isn't needed anywhere else on the route though . . . Superfunhappy photos
Anyone know the shade/sun situation on this route in June/July? Is it in full sun or does it get shade for part of the day?
Full sun.

Jackie Lee was stunned when he applied for a job at General Electric's locomotive plant in far north Fort Worth, but was rejected.
"I thought I would be a shoo-in," said Lee, 49, an aircraft mechanic at American's Alliance Airport facility, which recently closed as part of the airline's bankruptcy reorganization. "I can take a piece of sheet metal and form it however I have to, to fit into an airplane."Lee, who has 22 years of experience at American but recently accepted a buyout package to leave that job, applied for a position as a locomotive assembler at the plant, known as GE Manufacturing Solutions. It was no ordinary job interview, he said; at one point, he and other applicants were placed on teams and asked to build things with Legos.The Haslet resident thought he did well in the interview -- his group built an airplane with their toy building blocks - but afterward he was notified he was "not a fit" for the job.With about a month to go before the scheduled opening of the locomotive factory, GE Transportation, a division of General Electric, is still trying to fill its first 300 jobs.The locomotive factory is under construction just west of Texas Motor Speedway. When complete, it will churn out GE's Evolution diesel-electric locomotives that a company official described as "the most fuel efficient and environmentally friendly heavy haul locomotive in the world.""We're not expecting production to begin until the end of January, so we're still ramping up," said spokesman Manley Ford.Next door to the locomotive plant, GE has built another factory, where workers will assemble electric drive wheels for mining trucks. Operations in that facility began six months ago.As of last week, GE had hired 215 workers in Fort Worth, he said. By November, more than 12,000 people had submitted job applications through www.getjobsintexas.com, the company's website.GE is taking its time with hiring, he said, because the jobs require more than just traditional skills."This is not your traditional environment," Ford said. "We are looking for people who have welding and other skills, but also the capacity to work as a team and as partners. It's an exciting place to work."GE locomotives are sold worldwide, and among the customers is Fort Worth-based BNSF Railway. In addition to the Fort Worth facility, GE Transportation will continue to operate its original plant in Erie, Pa.Millions in incentivesIn May 2011, GE announced plans to convert a vacant building into a nearly 1 million-square-foot locomotive factory at Texas 114 and Farm Road 156, just north of the AllianceTexas development. The white building featuring checkered flag patterns on its exterior was originally built as a speculative property.A few months after the initial announcement, GE officials said they would also build a second structure -- this one nearly 300,000 square feet -- to make electric drive wheels for mining trucks.In all, the GE facility could employ 875 by 2016 - with most employees at the factory earning from $18 to $23.50 per hour. Those are competitive wages in the Texas market, a GE official said, although according to a union official the rate is about $10 an hour less than what's being paid for the same work at GE's locomotive plant in Pennsylvania.Even so, the jobs rank with other higher-paying manufacturing jobs in the area. For example, in September 2011, union workers at General Motors nationwide -- including GM's Arlington plant -- approved a new four-year contract providing profit-sharing rather than raises for many employees. At the time, entry-level GM workers were receiving a base wage of $15.78, about half what longtime workers were paid. The new contract raised the base pay by 22 percent.The announcement of GE's intent to build in Fort Worth came after a flurry of activity among local business and government officials, much of it behind the scenes, to make the project a reality.As an incentive to lure GE Transportation to Texas, the governor's office kicked in $4.2 million from the Texas Enterprise Fund, an account created in 2003 to lure jobs to the state.In Fort Worth, city officials approved an 85 percent abatement of city taxes to the property, which is expected to be worth $5.4 million over 10 years.A $744,845 grant from the Texas Workforce Commission was awarded to cover training costs for new GE hires, who are attending courses at North Central Texas College in Gainesville and the Tarrant County College South Campus in Fort Worth.Also, Hillwood Properties, the company in charge of the AllianceTexas development that includes Alliance Airport, had to be brought in to make it possible for GE to use some area railroad tracks to test its new locomotives.Railroad right of wayOne of the reasons GE was attracted to the far north Fort Worth property was its location adjacent to a BNSF main lane, providing space for a test track and rail access. But GE officials learned that BNSF is planning to move its main lane a few thousand feet to the west, to get around growth in the nearby cities of Haslet and Justin and make way for a runway expansion at Alliance Airport.The original plan was for BNSF to abandon the old main line once the new one was built, and make the right-of-way available to Hillwood for commercial development. Instead, Hillwood agreed to give up some of its rights to the BNSF right-of-way to make room for a test track."We just made those rights available to the city of Fort Worth and others to accommodate GE's needs," said Russell Laughlin, Hillwood Properties senior vice president. "Although they [GE] are not in a Hillwood facility, they're right across the highway and we consider them part of AllianceTexas. It's good to have them in the region."About three miles of test track is needed for the new GE locomotives, and officials are in the process of determining precisely where it should be built. One option is to allow GE to continue using the tracks south of Texas 114. Officials with the Texas Department of Transportation have said they're willing to redesign the Texas 114/FM 156 interchange, which is being rebuilt as part of the ongoing work on Texas 114, to make room for the test track.Another option involves building a second track along the BNSF main line, extending about three miles north into Justin. Denton County officials could chip in the funds to build that second line -- at an estimated cost of up to $6 million -- and discussions about that option are taking place.Texas Transportation Commissioner Bill Meadows credited the Fort Worth Chamber with doing much of the leg work to bring together all the agencies involved in luring GE to the region.Union criticismWhile Fort Worth officials are elated at the arrival of a new employer, members of a union representing GE Transportation workers in Pennsylvania have been critical of the move.Texas workers will be paid far less than their counterparts in Erie, who typically make about $31 an hour, said Roger Zaczyk, president of Local 506 of the United Electrical Radio and Machine Workers. And workers in the northern state are worried that GE Transportation will shift work to the non-union plant in Texas and lay off workers in Pennsylvania."We've been building locomotives up here for close to 100 years. Our work is union pride work, family sustaining," Zaczyk said. "They're going to build an inferior product for a lower wage. The union people are kind of dismayed GE has decided to move what has been a quite successful business with very high demand from our customers from up here to down there."GE Transportation"s Ford said the pay being offered in Fort Worth is "part of a total wage and benefit package that is well positioned for the local market for assemblers, maintenance technicians, machinists and welders.""The compensation package is also appropriate given that this is an entirely new work force that will require many hours of both technical and team process training," he said.GE officials also have said their Fort Worth facility is an expansion project, and not an attempt to move jobs from Erie.This report includes material from the Star-Telegram archives.Gordon Dickson, 817-390-7796Twitter: @gdickson

The Plan 9 network operating system
In the eery, distant days before the birth of Linux, a strange alien system set out to fulfill the promise of Unix. Descendents of that system are still living. We caught one and dissected it.
Linux has its roots in the famous AT&T Bell Labs, home of the original Unix system. The Bell Labs programmers have been busy ever since, and one of the fruits of their labors is the distributed operating system Plan 9 [1]. Plan 9 began in the late 1980s as a new system designed to address some problems with Unix that the Bell engineers considered "too deep to fix." This new operating system did indeed come with some innovations that had an influence on later systems. But until recently, Plan 9 was under a proprietary license that never really caught on with users.

Panoply looking for 2013 artists | Community Spirit
Title (Max 100 Characters)
Huntsville, AL - The Arts Council is looking for new talent to showcase at the 2013 Panoply Arts Festival.
The festival takes place in Big Spring Park and will be held April 26-28, 2013.
Featuring four main stages and two smaller performance venues, the festival boasts over 60 performing slots to be filled by local talent. The performer application has moved to an online process this year, and is available on The Arts Council website. Performers must describe their act and include staging information where applicable. The performer guidelines are also available on the website, and should be read thoroughly before applying. The deadline for applications is Thursday, January 31, 2013.
"Panoply is a celebration of the arts, whether it's a painting or a choreographed dance," says Vinny Paragone, Festival Co-Chair. "We have so many venues within the festival to showcase the best in local and regional performing arts and can't wait to see the talent that applies to be a part of Huntsville's largest community event."
While the stages are a popular part of the festival, Panoply is also known regionally for its Art Marketplace and is now seeking applicants for the 2013 show. Usually accepting up to 65 fine artists, the Marketplace is a juried show featuring art in many mediums. To apply, artists may visit The Arts Council's website. Applicants are required to upload images of their work, along with a $40 jury fee. The deadline for application for the Art Marketplace is Thursday, January 31, 2013.
"One of my favorite parts of Panoply is the Art Marketplace. The opportunity to stroll over the Monroe Street bridge and shop the fantastic art sets the festival apart from other events," says Yvonda Best, Festival Co-Chair. "It has such a nice flow, giving adults something to enjoy at Panoply apart from the kid's activities and stages."
The Arts Council has presented the Panoply Arts Festival annually since 1982; 75,000 people attended the event last year. Plans for this year's event are well underway and include fresh children's arts and crafts and other new elements. For more information on the performer or artist applications for Panoply, contact The Arts Council at 256-519-ARTS(2787).

this is great
I agree that near $1 is a nice payout, plus the payout we got in the summer - makes this better than a 7% payout for the year. I also like the fact that Roche is their largest holding - Roche owns Genentech which is expanding their Vacaville CA plant.
The good/bad news about funds owning large shares of a thinly traded stock like Armanino is "year end selling" to make their portfolio look good - my guess is some funds saw a nice run-up this year and decided to take the money and run. For those of us who have been here for over 10 years, this should not be a worry, as we all tend to invest in the company not the quick buck.
I felt (despite missing Wall Street's estimates) the report was great! And the guidance for next year was reassuring for long term investors. . .I would guess guidance is even a bit conservative.
nice revenue increase and nice dividend increase, but earnings miss could #$%$ the markets - I am here till death (or takeover which ever comes first), so I don't really care much about short-term trading.
seems strange after what seems to be a good report - the stead dividend (no increase) was already factored in.
hope this trend continues
Thank you for a great overview. I owned both NRGY and CMLP before the merger, so I likely have one of the larger holdings here (unless fund managers read this) - I never get to upset about secondary offerings, because in fact only strong companies can use this path without having their stock tank. Most of my MLP's (APL,APU,SPH, etc.) have done secondary offerings in the past few years because the market is strong. I am a "Buffet" investor, so my holding period is "forever" (although buy and hold does NOT mean buy and forget), so if they can raise the payout by new acquisitions, that is great - I live on payouts and dividends.
I also find the revolution in American energy exciting, and have most pipelines in my portfolio. Also there is a stealth revolution going on in auto and truck use of natural gas. The entire bus fleet in LA, San Diego, and most of the western USA is NG. Recently GM has joined Honda in offering a Natural Gas option for cars. Truck fleets are also changing to NG because of lower costs. Essentially the USA is does not need to import energy anymore.
Great report - love the international sale information!!!
Also lots of M&A in the pipeline filed - wonder if they have kicked the tires over at SXL? That merger would create a powerhouse.
Hey- even 1 cent a quarter to start restoring the cut of 2008. . .they are expanding and cash flow is growing.
In my nearly 40 years of investing, downgrades mean a big institution wants their clients into a quality company at a lower price - hence they downgrade to walk the price down. . .then a few months later, one of their "friends" at another firm will upgrade the stock. . .Don't tell me I don't know - I was on Wall Street for years, and helped train a generation of analysts. My favorite story was 15 years ago when two of the largest investment banks got their story wrong - one upgraded Coke and the other downgraded Coke on the same day - MarketWatch had the best headline ever - "Is the Glass Half Full or Half Empty?"

Raspberry Pi
Pioneer Computing
ByThe sudden popularity of miniboard systems like Raspberry Pi have brought back the pioneering spirit of Linux's early days. Suddenly, do it yourself in the open source community is back.
By now, most people of the geek persuasion have heard of the Raspberry Pi, but just in case you haven't, here's the nickel tour.
Raspberry Pi got its start in 2006, when a bunch of people in the University of Cambridge's Computer Laboratory in the United Kingdom were looking at the declining computer skills they were seeing in A Level students coming into their program. What they were seeing was not good, and it was a trend they could see being repeated in other nations besides the UK.
Despite the proliferation of personal computers, or perhaps because of it, kids were no longer experimenting en masse on PCs. Instead, they were using apps as they were presented, or just buying and downloading new ones to do what they wanted. Hacking, it seemed, was going way out of style.
The Beginnings
The Cambridge team, lead by designer Eben Upton, began to put together a small, portable, and very inexpensive device that would boot right into a programming environment. From there, a student of any age could start coding to their heart's content.
In the US, the lack of computing skills being taught at a young age means they are facing a serious talent gap for application development ahead. We already have a talent gap in big-data-level data analysis, so its not beyond the realm of possibility that such a gap in programing is coming down the road.
This is not a good thing, and not for the usual geopolitical arguments that decry the US or the UK falling behind one nation or another. As a self-contained society, do we want the management of our information and content purely in the hands of a select few coding wizards?
In a way, the decline of programming literacy mirrors the decline of literacy after the fall of the Roman Empire … and we all know what happened then. The centralization of control of our data might be little different to our society as the centralization of the written word by the clergy and the very wealthy in the Middle Ages.
This is what the vision behind the Raspberry Pi is all about.
By 2008, the device now known as the Raspberry Pi had completed the design phase and was ready for production. The Raspberry Pi Foundation was founded that year, and after three years of fundraising and production, the Pi devices were rolling off of the assembly line.
The Present
There are two models of the Raspberry Pi available; Model A for $25 and Model B for $35. Both products feature a 700MHz ARM processor on a Broadcom system-on-a-chip board, with 256MB of RAM and an SD/MMC/SDIO card slot for onboard storage. The only major difference between the two models is that the extra 10 bucks will get you a 10/100 Ethernet jack in the Model B and a second USB port.
That small price differential and the popularity of a network-connected device might explain why wait times were anywhere from five to 12 weeks at the time of press to acquire a Model B, depending on the vendor.
And it's not alone anymore; new devices such as the Cotton Candy, Mele A1000, MK802, and Oval Elephant are part of this growing family of "mini-PCs."
There are lots of projects that you can do beyond straightforward programming with the Raspberry Pi, of course. Already people have found the device to be a workable media streamer and an Internet radio). For this article, though, I will focus on the general purpose for the device: running a Linux operating system in which you can program.
There are any number of distributions that can run on the Raspberry Pi … essentially all you need is a distro compiled for an ARM11 processor in a disk image that will fit on at least a 2GB SD card. However, the Raspberry Pi team is currently recommending one of three distros, listed on their Downloads page: Raspbian "wheezy," Arch Linux ARM, and QtonPi.
For beginners, Raspberry Pi recommends the Debian variant Raspbian, which is considerably optimized for the Pi device and has LXDE, Midori, and other development tools. This is the one I installed for this article, but for the other images, the procedure will be the same, just change the file names.
Note: file names are those available at time of writing. They might have changed slightly since press time.
First, visit the Raspberry Pi Downloads page and download the latest edition of the Raspbian "wheezy" ZIP file.
In the directory you download the file into, extract the image with
unzip 2012-07-15-wheezy-raspbian.zip
Insert an SD card into your computer's reader slot and type
df -h
This will list the devices that are currently mounted. You should see a device name that doesn't match your system's current drive configuration. That extra device is your SD card. If the card has a name like /dev/sdd1, ignore the "1" (or any other number at the end of the name). The numbers indicate partitions, and when you write the disk image of Raspbian to the card in a bit, you will need the device name, which in this example would be /dev/sdd.
You need to unmount all of the partitions that are on the card. Most SD cards will only have one partition, but on the off chance it does contain more than one, unmounting them all will clear the way for the new disk image. Presuming the device name is /dev/sdd, enter
umount /dev/sdd1
Repeat the umount command for all partitions with sdd in the name.
Now it's time to write the Raspbian image to the SD card with the dd command. Care must be taken here so you don't target your hard drive instead of your SD card. Still in the terminal application, navigate to the /2012-07-15-wheezy-raspbian directory and type
sudo dd bs=1M if= 2012-07-15-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/sdd
This could take some time, so be patient and don't assume the process is locked up.
When the command-line prompt returns, type
sudo sync
to clear the write cache. Now you can remove the SD card and use it in your Raspberry Pi device.
With the HDMI port handling video and the two USB ports taking care of the mouse and keyboard controls, you might wonder whether you're going to be constrained by the size of the SD card for your onboard storage. If you get yourself a powered USB hub, though, you can expand the ports and start using USB external drives for storage, too.
The Future
One of the biggest draws for the Raspberry device is not just the device itself; the community that surrounds this little device is very strong and growing very fast. If you weren't around in the early days of Linux, when things were fast and loose and information was catch-as-catch-can, then this will be a new experience harkening back to those days.
Linux veterans will feel like it's old home week with the Raspberry community.
The influx of cheap and powerful hardware like this is sure to break open a lot of innovative projects, and already the Raspberry Pi is being eyed for fantasy terrestrial robots and reality extraterrestrial devices).
The possibilities, like Linux of old, are endless.

Will this product work with the apple tv since it was updated to handle a keyboard?
The apple tv was just updated to handle supposedly just the wireless apple keyboard. So i was just wondering if the logitech keyboard would be able to work with the apple tv.
- Asked by Joseph R from Egg Harbor City
- Feb 1, 2013
- Flag as inappropriate
AnswerYes! I just got mine tonight, and paired it on Key 3, and typed in the search box on Netflix, and it works like a charm!
I don't know what other functions on the keyboard will work other than typing in a Search field (I haven't tired the rest yet) but it will work with the Apple TV, and it pairs very easily.
Just Press which key you want to pair on the Logitech - Key 1, 2, 3 - and that key will start flashing; then go to the Apple TV Settings > General > Bluetooth > and choose the Logitech that shows in the list, and select it and you're done. Easy.
And I used it earlier with my iPad mini too, and it works great with that too.

Energy Efficiency Policies around the World: Review and Evaluation
2.1 Introduction
This chapter reviews recent energy efficiency trends by world region based on a set of homogeneous energy efficiency indicators covering the period 1980-2006, with a greater focus on the last sixteen years (1990-2006). All indicators include biomass, as many OECD countries are now promoting the use of biomass to reduce emissions of greenhouse gases and as biomass is still a dominant source of energy in many developing countries.
The data used for the calculation of the energy efficiency indicators were taken from ENERDATA world energy database . This database relies on harmonised data from international organisations (International Energy Agency/IEA, EUROSTAT, World Bank, Asian Development Bank, IMF), from industry associations (Cedigaz for gas, IISI for steel, IRF for transport, for instance), as well as from national energy ministries and utilities. It provides a consistent coverage of the world energy consumption, split by main regions, and is kept up-to-date to take into account the most recent trends. Some of the more detailed indicators were taken for European Union (EU) countries from the ODYSSEE database .
The indicator trends are presented for seven world regions. Because of its size and diversity, Asia is split into four sub-regions and a few major countries:
Europe (EU, Albania, Bosnia, Croatia, Iceland, Macedonia, Norway, Serbia, Switzerland, and Turkey)
North America (USA, Canada)
Latin America
Asia and Pacific OECD (Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand)
Other Asia (ASEAN, other South Asia)
Middle East
This chapter begins with a presentation of the indicators at the level of the whole economy and at the level of economic sectors. Then a comparison of energy efficiency trends across the various world regions is presented: first, the overall energy efficiency trends, and then the trends by sector (industry, transport, households, and services).
Particular attention is given to the relationship between energy efficiency achievements (as assessed from the indicators) on the one hand and economic development (in particular the role of structural changes in the economy) and energy efficiency policies on the other hand.
