GNU i/ɡnuː/[1][2] is a Unix-like computer operating system developed by the GNU Project. It is composed wholly of free software. It is based on the GNU Hurd kernel and is intended to be a "complete Unix-compatible software system"[3][4][5] GNU is a recursive acronym for "GNU's Not Unix!",[3][6] chosen because GNU's design is Unix-like, but differs from Unix by being free software and containing no Unix code.[7]
Development of GNU was initiated by Richard Stallman in 1983[3][8] and was the original focus of the Free Software Foundation (FSF), but no stable release of GNU yet exists as of October 2014[update].[3][9][10][11] However, non-GNU kernels, most famously the Linux kernel, can also be used with GNU software.[12][13][14] The combination of GNU software and the Linux kernel is known as Linux or GNU/Linux. (see GNU/Linux naming controversy)
Stallman views GNU as a "technical means to a social end."[15]
The plan for the GNU ("GNU's Not Unix!") operating system was publicly announced on September 27, 1983, on the net.unix-wizards and net.usoft newsgroups by Richard Stallman.[16][17] Software development began on January 5, 1984, when Stallman quit his job at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Artificial Intelligence Laboratory so that they could not claim ownership or interfere with distributing GNU as free software.[18] Richard Stallman chose the name by using various plays on words, including the song The Gnu.[2](00:45:30)
The goal was to bring a wholly free software operating system into existence. Stallman wanted computer users to be "free", as most were in the 1960s and 1970s – free to study the source code of the software they use, free to share the software with other people, free to modify the behavior of the software, and free to publish their modified versions of the software. This philosophy was later published as the GNU Manifesto in March 1985.[17]
Richard Stallman's experience with the Incompatible Timesharing System (ITS),[18] an early operating system written in assembly language that became obsolete due to discontinuation of PDP-10, the computer architecture for which ITS was written, led to a decision that a portable system was necessary.[2](00:40:52)[19] It was thus decided that GNU would be mostly compatible with Unix.[20] At the time, Unix was already a popular proprietary operating system. The design of Unix was modular, so it could be reimplemented piece by piece.[19]
Much of the needed software had to be written from scratch, but existing compatible third-party free software components were also used such as the TeX typesetting system, the X Window System,[17] and the Mach microkernel that forms the basis of the GNU Mach core of GNU Hurd (the official kernel of GNU).[21] With the exception of the aforementioned third-party components, most of GNU has been written by volunteers of the GNU Project; some in their spare time, some paid by companies,[22] educational institutions, and other non-profit organizations. In October 1985, Stallman set up the Free Software Foundation (FSF). In the late 1980s and 1990s, the FSF hired software developers to write the software needed for GNU.[23][24]
As GNU gained prominence, interested businesses began contributing to development or selling GNU software and technical support. The most prominent and successful of these was Cygnus Solutions,[22] now part of Red Hat.[25]
The system's basic components include the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC), the GNU C library (glibc), and GNU Core Utilities (coreutils),[3] but also the GNU Debugger (GDB), GNU Binary Utilities (binutils),[26] the bash shell[21][27] and the GNOME desktop environment.[28] GNU developers have contributed Linux ports of GNU applications and utilities, which are now also widely used on other operating systems such as BSD variants, Solaris and Mac OS X.[29]
Many GNU programs have been ported to other operating systems, including proprietary platforms such as Microsoft Windows[30] and Mac OS X.[31] Compared to their proprietary Unix counterparts, GNU programs have also been shown to be more reliable.[32]
As of August 2014, there are a total of 452 GNU packages (including decommissioned, 373 excluding) hosted on the official GNU development site.[33]
GNU variants[edit]
The official kernel of GNU Project is the GNU Hurd microkernel; however, as of 2012, Linux is officially part of the GNU Project in the form of Linux-libre, a variant of Linux with all proprietary components removed.[34]
Other kernels like the FreeBSD kernel also work together with GNU software to form a working operating system.[35] The FSF maintains that Linux, when used with GNU tools and utilities, should be considered a variant of GNU, and promotes the term GNU/Linux for such systems (leading to the GNU/Linux naming controversy).[36][37][38] The GNU Project has endorsed variants using Linux, such as gNewSense, Trisquel and Parabola GNU/Linux-libre.[39] Other GNU variants which do not use the Hurd as a kernel include Debian GNU/kFreeBSD and Debian GNU/NetBSD from Debian brings to fruition the early plan of GNU on a BSD kernel.
Copyright, GNU licenses, and stewardship[edit]
The GNU Project recommends that contributors assign the copyright for GNU packages to the Free Software Foundation,[40][41] though the Free Software Foundation considers it acceptable to release small changes to an existing project to the public domain.[42] However, this is not required; package maintainers may retain copyright to the GNU packages they maintain, though since only the copyright holder may enforce the license used (such as the GNU GPL), the copyright holder in this case enforces it rather than the Free Software Foundation.[43]
For the software developed under the GNU Project, Stallman wrote a license called the GNU General Public License (first called Emacs General Public License), with the goal to guarantee users freedom to share and change free software.[44] Stallman wrote this license after his experience with James Gosling and a program called UniPress, over a controversy around software code use in the GNU Emacs program.[45][46] For most of the 80s, each GNU package had its own license: the Emacs General Public License, the GCC General Public License, etc. In 1989, FSF published a single license they could use for all their software, and which could be used by non-GNU projects: the GNU General Public License (GPL).[45][47]
This license is now used by most GNU programs, as well as a large number of free software programs that are not part of the GNU Project; it is also the most commonly used free software license.[48] It gives all recipients of a program the right to run, copy, modify and distribute it, while forbidding them from imposing further restrictions on any copies they distribute. This idea is often referred to as copyleft.[49]
In 1991, the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL), then known as the Library General Public License, was written for the GNU C Library to allow it to be linked with proprietary software.[50] 1991 also saw the release of version 2 of the GNU GPL. The GNU Free Documentation License (FDL), for documentation, followed in 2000.[51] The GPL and LGPL were revised to version 3 in 2007, adding clauses to protect users against hardware restrictions that prevent user to run modified software on their own devices.[52]
In addition to GNU's own packages, the GNU Project's licenses are also used by many unrelated projects, such as the Linux, which is often used with GNU software. A minority of the software used by GNU, such as the X Window System, is licensed under permissive free software licenses.
The logo for GNU is a gnu head. Originally drawn by Etienne Suvasa, a bolder and simpler version designed by Aurelio Heckert is now preferred.[53][54] It appears in GNU software and in printed and electronic documentation for the GNU Project, and is also used in Free Software Foundation materials.

Scott Elarton, Brian Sanches and Jake Diekman were assigned to Triple-A, according to Twitter reports, leaving Raul Valdes and Joe Savery among the last men standing. (US Presswire Photo)
Beerleaguer: I'd be surprised if either one survives the final cut over David Herndon. It doesn't sound from reports like a second lefty is mission critical, and a lot depends on how many relievers they take north. Michael Stutes isn't necessarily etched in stone either; Herndon outpitched Stutes in the second half of last season. Elarton's a nice spring story, but the big sinkerballer would need to be completely dialed in with his command for the Phillies to even consider him; he finished with a 9/7 K/BB. Sanches failed to differentiate himself and faces an uphill battle to climb back to the bigs - bad career move signing here. Diekman needs more time to develop his secondary stuff.
Between Valdes and Savery, Valdes holds the edge in big league experience, while Savery is already part of the 40-man roster. It's a push (and it's not all that compelling.)
Game chat: The Phillies host the Pirates at 1:05 in a game airing on The Comcast Network. It's Victorino CF, Polanco 3B, Pence RF, Thome 1B, Nix LF, Orr SS, Schneider C, Galvis 2B. Pete Orr at short and Jim Thome at first are the two stories there. Orr could be working his way onto the Opening Day roster just as he did a season ago. Cliff Lee toes the slab. John Mayberry, who has amassed 67 plate appearances, is available off the bench. He's really scuffled, hitting just .206.

WASHINGTON - Is McDonald's or Burger King better at giving drive thru customers exactly what they order? The answer: McDonald's.
QSR magazine - a trade publication that covers restaurant news - has conducted a Drive-Thru Performance Study the past 14 years to see how popular drive thrus, including McDonald's, Burger King, Wendy's, Taco Bell and Chick-fil-A, perform on order accuracy, service time and customer service.
In the 2012 findings released Wednesday, Burger King had the lowest drive thru order accuracy rate at 83 percent, which is 6.7 percent lower than its rate last year. Chick-fil-A was the most accurate at 92.4 percent, followed by McDonald's at 90.9 percent, Taco Bell at 91.2 and Wendy's at 89.9 percent.
While Wendy's was among the least accurate drive thrus, the company topped the list in service speed - fulfilling orders in an average of 2 minutes 9 seconds. Burger King had the worst service time at an average of 3 minutes 21 seconds.
The magazine reports that Wendy's was the only chain to improve on service time since last year and points to complex menus as a reason why drive thru times have slowed down the past eight years.
Brian Baker, president of Ohio-based Insula Research which co-authored the study, says in the QSR article that slower service should not necessarily be a cause for concern.
"If you get any faster ... your consumer is going to start to feel rushed," he says.

This is far from being the first study to look for associations between people's sleep habits and other personality factors. Prior research suggests that evening people are more extaverted, pessimistic and creative, whilst morning people are more conscientious. Twin studies suggest that genetic differences explain a lot of the variation in people's morningness and eveningness.

Women's Basketball
Marymount opened a new era in women's basketball this year, with a 13-10 overall record and an 11-5 mark in CAC action under first-year head coach Ashlee Courter. The Saints finished second in the CAC regular season and closed out their campaign in the semifinals of the conference tournament.
A pair of seniors ended their fouryear careers at Marymount in impressive fashion. Maame Amponsah became the fifth Saints player to earn CAC Player of the Year honors after leading the league and NCAA Division III in rebounding while averaging a double-double on the year. Maame also garnered numerous accolades, including All- CAC, All-Region, All-State, and Academic All-District recognition. Joining her was Amanda Billy with a record-setting season from behind the arc. Amanda tied the program record for points in a game while breaking the single-game and career marks for three-pointers made. For her efforts, she was named Second Team All-CAC and Academic All- District.
Men's Basketball
Marymount went 6-19 overall and 4-12 in the CAC during head coach Chris Rogers' second season at the helm. The Saints swept Stevenson on the year in league action, including a 95-88 win in the season finale as they scored the most points in regulation since 2005.
Freshman Reed Scott had an outstanding rookie campaign for the Saints, leading MU in scoring and rebounding and finishing seventh in the CAC in rebounding. He recorded three double-doubles and scored in double-figures in all but three games. Also impressive was newcomer junior John Magnani, who closed out the season on a tear, posting a pair of double-doubles in the final four games and finishing fourth in the CAC in blocks.
Marymount had a solid performance at the CAC Championships, finishing fourth on the women's side and fifth on the men's side. Six Saints earned a combined 16 All-CAC honors.
For the men, freshman Michael Yelmgren placed in the 100 Backstroke and the 200 Backstroke, while senior Brian Tinsman finished second in the 200 Freestyle. On the year, Michael broke school records in both backstroke events.
On the women's side, junior Anna Macedonia became the second Saint in program history to earn CAC Player of the Year honors, winning the 50 Freestyle, 100 Backstroke, and 200 Backstroke and placing in the 200 Free Relay and 400 Free Relay at the CAC Championships. Anna also qualified for the NCAA Championships, earning Honorable Mention All-America honors by finishing 10th in the 100 Backstroke. In addition, she placed 18th in the 200 Backstroke and 40th in the 50 Freestyle. Joining Anna in CAC recognition were freshman Katie Moran, junior Meghan Morch, and sophomore Kim Rizzo. Katie placed in the 50 Freestyle, 100 Freestyle, 200 Free Relay, and 400 Free Relay, while Meghan and Kim both placed as part of the 200 Free Relay and 400 Free Relay teams.
In just the fourth season of golf as a CAC-sponsored sport, MU continues to make a mark on the league and post competitive individual scores. Sophomore Peter Johns became the third Saint to earn All-CAC honors and the only player to do it twice in a career. He finished tied for sixth at the CAC Championships to garner second team accolades, ending the year with the ninth-best stroke average in the conference. Also ranked for Marymount, fellow sophomore Nick Ryerson claimed the 19th best stroke average in the CAC throughout the season.
Men's Lacrosse
Marymount went 2-14 on the season and 0-8 in CAC play during a season of close calls and hard-fought losses. The Saints lost six of their games by either one or two goals and 10 by four or fewer.
Senior Chris Wascak led in scoring with team-highs of 28 goals and 11 assists for 39 points. Junior Drew Phillips and senior Jeff Cook added 28 and 27 points respectively, while freshman Connor Kellogg added 22. Drew led Marymount and was tied for third in the CAC with eight manup goals, while Jack Burke added six.
Defensively, seniors Robby Woycik and Jake Farrow led the MU backline with 25 and 21 caused turnovers, respectively. Freshman Vince Lodato led all Saints with 51 ground balls, Robby Woycik added 49, junior goaltender Ross Fernandez collected 43, senior Andrew Gaston had 38, and Jeff Cook chimed in with 33.
Women's Lacrosse
Marymount went 5-9 on the season and 2-6 in CAC action. The Saints scored nearly 20 goals in each of their wins and achieved 24 and 20 in conference victories over Wesley and Hood, respectively.
Tancy Weatherford became the 19th Saint to garner All-CAC accolades in program history and the seventh under the tenure of current head coach Jamie Reynolds. She led the Saints in scoring with 47 points on 33 goals and 14 assists while collecting 34 draw controls.

But such celebration also comes with pitfalls: "Histories of universities are difficult undertakings because they open onto such complex questions of our modern subjectivity and its

Lisa Loeb's wedding was full of laughter and tears as the singer-songwriter exchanged vows with Roey Hershkovitz on Saturday in front of 275 guests at Manhattan restaurant Brasserie 8 ½.
In an exclusive interview and photos, Loeb, 40, and Hershkovitz, 30, music supervisor for Late Night with Conan O'Brien, share the details of their wedding with PEOPLE.
"We took turns laughing and crying," says the groom of the 30-minute Jewish ceremony. Adds Loeb: "I had to have my makeup redone!"
Wedding planner Amy Shey Jacobs turned the restaurant into a cozy winter wonderland, with all-white florals, tiny porcelain deer figurines and a fireplace logo projected onto the ceiling.
"Roey proposed to me in front of the fireplace at the Maritime Hotel in New York," says Loeb of her engagement last November. "We wanted people to feel they were coming in from the cold to a warm and festive atmosphere."
"It was a perfect night," adds the singer, who planned her wedding in less than two months. "It was great to see everyone so happy, and I'm thrilled with the way it all turned out."

Perhaps too simple. :-) In the event that you wanted to fragment your data further and the original namespace was significant in the new context, you would meed to obtain from the higher level element and make it explicit when you do the fragmentation. I suppose the feeling was that you can create your data in the way that you described, then apply a simple tool to make the namespaces explicit, and that this was preferable to requiring the manipulation when the data is being fragmented. > Rev.

50 Cent Appears As Himself On Adult Swim's "Robot Chicken"
50 Cent cameos on the stop motion television show.
50 Cent is no stranger to acting on the big screen, but he recently took his talents to television.
The G-Unit general recently made a cameo on Adult Swim's "Robot Chicken," a stop motion animated comedy series. During the episode, video game character Parappa the Rapper battles a member of G-Unit, winning over the crowd with a less-than-stellar performance.
Upon Parappa winning the battle, Fif appears and kicks the victor out of his group, filling the void with Parappa and cutting him a $1 billion advance check.

The Scientific Society was founded in 1890. In the 1900 edition of the Pike's Peak Nugget the following article (including the graphics) chronicled the beginnings of the society.
During the year 1889-90, three new instuctors of Colorado College lived in Hagerman Hall. This building had just been completed, and its dedication marked the first mile-stone on the road of progress as mapped out by President Slocum, who had come to the college the previous year. The three new instructors were O. H. Richardson, now of the Yale Faculty; G. L. Hendrickson, then just from Bonn and Berlin, now connected with the University of Chicago; and F. Cajori, who had resigned his position at the Tulane University of Louisiana, to make his home in Colorado. These three young men and Miss E. Wickard, who also roomed at Hagermann Hall frequently discussed the present and future of Colorado College - what it was and what they hoped it soon would be. One day Hendrickson and Cajori were pacing up and down the lower corridor of Hagerman Hall, waiting for the sound of the dinner bell, and discussing great problems relating to the college and themselves. They wondered whether the college, which had at that time about half a dozen students of college rank, would really grow, whether books and apparatus would be forthcoming, whether there was any ground for hope that they might achieve something in the way of scholarship and original research. Cajori suggested to Hendrickson, "why not start a Scientific Society?" The idea was favorably received. Miss Wickard and Mr. Richardson promised their support. Prof. Slocum encouraged the plan. Prof. F.H.Loud saw in it the very thing he had wanted for years.
On January 22, 1890, a constitution was adopted and the following officers elected: F. H. Loud, President; Miss E. Wickard and W. Strieby, Vice-Presidents; F. Cajori, Secretary; O.H. Richardson, Treasurer. The first regular meeting was held in February, 1890.
The objects of the society as set forth in the constitution, are, "the discussion of recent scientific results, the promotion among its members of scientific inquiry and investigation, and the publication of the more important papers read at the meetings."
If any proof is needed of the zeal displayed by the early workers of the society, it is found in the fact that only four months after its organization the society published its first issue of scientific papers under the title of "Colorado College Studies." The society has become a permanent organization in Colorado College. Every year since, except one, a volume of "Colorado College Studies" has been published. During the first few years the bills for printing were met by the annual dues and by contributions from public-spirited citizens of Colorado Springs. In 1893, the College Faculty subscribed $1,500 towards the "Pearsons Fund." The interest of this sum has been set aside to defray, in part, the cost of publication. The "Colorado College Studies" are distributed to a large number of scientific societies in the United States and abroad. Exchanges are received from all parts of the world. Many valuable scientific articles in the Coburn Library have come to the college in this way.
As the years pass may the Scientific Society grow in efficiency and
become an ever increasing power in the intellectual life of
Colorado College.
As stated in the Nugget article, the original officers of the Scientific Society were:
The officers were shuffled from year to year, but Florian Cajori stayed on as secretary and then became managing editor of the Colorado College Studies in 1905 when the publication was further formalized and promoted; President William Slocum was Editor in Chief. Professor Cajori remained as editor until he left the college in 1918.
Papers read before the Society were published in an annual volume of the Colorado College Studies. Mathematical contributions to these volumes remained significant throughout the early years. The first issue (1890) contained the following papers:
And the second issue (1891):
For further interpretation of the role the Scientific Society played
in the development of the college,

STAUNTON, Va. -- Eric Eastman and Fred Bowers, food pantry volunteers, see needy people take food from the pantry's shelves to keep food on their table.
"They need nutritious food, and we try to have that for them," said Bowers.
Staunton City Councilman Erik Curren has launched a food-based task force. It will eventually bring food to Valley schools and to the food bank.
"Now people will hopefully come together, but in the local community one thing that does bring people together is the issue of food," said Curren. "Everybody eats, and everybody cares about the quality of their food."
Another task force initiative is making sure people grab nutrient-packed food, instead of something that might not be as healthy. They want to make sure people are educated enough to make healthy decisions.
The task force would form partnerships, propose policies and promote more gardens. Needy people would also have resources they need to grow food themselves and that would help the Staunton community become more sustainable.
"If they had an opportunity to grow their food, I'm sure they will," said Bowers, "Any time you can have fresh food like that, it's much better than food that's been trucked across the country or something like that."
The idea is to spread the organization's goals.
"I see a lot of people in here, they tell their friends to come down here who need help, a lot of times, so I think that would spread by word of mouth," said Eastman.
Bowers said their website could also bring awareness to their cause.
"It'd be another resource. Any other resource that we could bring online, it'd certainly be a help. Certainly be a help," said Bowers.
The group wants a diverse base of people to represent everyone in Staunton. The group plans to hold two public meetings in February. You can find the dates for those meetings here: Staunton Food Policy Task Force

Local author pens another hit
By Jimmy Cochran
"I lived the first half my life as a taker. Always thinking only about myself. I want the last half of my life to be different. I want to try giving something back," said Cole Matthews, the latest character in "Forgotten Road," Randall Arthur's latest book.
Henry County has many writers and poets; however, few are as well-known as bestselling author, Randall Arthur. Arthur is a native resident of Stockbridge, yet his literary works are known across the globe. Best known for his trilogy of "Wisdom Hunter," "Jordan's Crossing," and "Brotherhood of Betrayal."
While the earlier works by Arthur tell captivating stories which warn of legalism and ultra-conservatism in the church, his newest work deals on the bad choices we make in our lives and that God is always ready to forgive and help us move on. Based on personal experiences, his earlier novels grab you from the first page and remain in your mind long after you have finished. His newest novel has the same compulsion from the very beginning phrases until the last word.
Arthur and his wife have served as church planters and missionaries to many European countries since 1975, including the Scandinavian countries found in his first novels. He continues to lead groups in European mission efforts several times a year as well as finding the time to write his novels.
"I'm a very slow writer," said Arthur. "I write every paragraph out by hand, study it, edit it, revise it and once I am finally pleased with it then I will type it in my computer. Then I start the process over again. I write when I'm waiting at the doctor's office, at red lights, anywhere I have a few minutes to get thoughts on paper."
"Forgotten Road" focuses on a Nashville fiddler, Cole Michaels, who had risen to the top of the music charts. However, success and bad choices led Cole onto an unplanned road where he was forced to re-examine all that he held dear. The surprise cross-over appearance of a well-loved character from Arthur's prior books marks a turning point in Cole's life.
"I was at a point when I began writing my earlier books when I needed a mentor, someone to give me guidance and support," said Arthur. "I had no one like that in my life at the time, so I wrote him into my books. He was the ideal mentor that could help me and could hopefully help my readers during their struggles."
In a departure from his adult fiction, Arthur has now published his first book for children. "ABC's On the Move" is a progressive reader that teaches children the alphabet along with 26 animals and 26 ways of transportation. Written by Arthur and illustrated by local graphic artist, Timothy Stripling, the book has already been a hit with local educators and libraries.
"Timothy and I have already had several readings for schools and children's groups and were excited by the turnout and enthusiasm," said Arthur. "I definitely have more books planned and hope to be able to see my dreams accomplished someday."
Arthur's books have been translated into many languages to further spread his message of God's love and hope across the world. All of his books are available from Amazon.com and "Forgot-ten Road" is now available for Kindle.

A Fashionable Contrast
This winter, there's something different about coats and jackets – quite literally – with the latest look consisting of 'contrasting' sleeves…
Short and sweet or long and luxurious, all types of outerwear have been touched by this trend – from tweed to leather, parkas to wool.
(Above image left to right: Khaki collarless ponte jacket, khaki faux leather sleeve jacket and black faux leather sleeved jacket, all from Red Herring)
(Above image left to right: Black PU boucle jacket from Star by Julien Macdonald, Warehouse contrast sleeve drape front jacket and faux leather and tweed jacket from Oasis)
Red Herring has jumped on the bandwagon wholeheartedly, with several options available right now. Coming together with the military trend, we see smart faux leather sleeves contrast with casual khaki jackets, with a classic black ponte style for those who wish to work the trend into a more glamorous look – also seen at Star by Julien Macdonald.
Concessions such as Oasis and Warehouse are also loving this style, with tweed and knitted patterns working the leather look too – the most popular contrast – with sequin sleeves also said to be regularly spotted at a party or two…
Making the point that contrasting style, is clearly the trend-du-jour to mirror in our wardrobes.

A group of Chattanooga-area developers say that Quickcue, which is now live on the Apple App store, turns long line from a frustration into an opportunity.Photo by Contributed Photo /Chattanooga Times Free Press.
Bo Ferger, right, CEO of QuickCue, and Jeff Cole, vice president of marketing, together created an app for restaurants and their patrons. Their plan is to distribute the app to fast casual restaurants which can then take better care of customers' specific needs like their fine dining counterparts.Photo by Tim Barber.
OpenTable has bought Chattanooga startup Quickcue for $11.5 million in cash from investors Blank Slate Ventures and Chattanooga Renaissance Fund.
Quickcue, which was founded by entrepreneur Aaron Welch and boosted by local investors like Lex Tarumianz and dozens of others, is the first company from Chattanooga's entrepreneurial class of 2011 to build a successful business model and sell itself for a sizable profit.
The company offers clients, typically fast-casual restaurants, an iPad application for about a penny per customer to help manage wait lists, track customer preferences and offer customized services.
San Francisco-based OpenTable also offers a mobile app, but has traditionally found much of its success on the consumer side. OpenTable is the biggest player in the online reservation booking business, seating more than 12 million diners per month across 30,000 restaurants.
The nine-member Quickcue team will remain in Chattanooga, and OpenTable will continue to support Quickcue's 40 existing customers. However, OpenTable will discontinue Quickcue's current product while it works on a new app that will presumably incorporate features from both companies' offerings, according to the news release.
"We're excited to welcome the talented Quickcue team to our restaurant technology group," said Joseph Essas, chief technology officer of OpenTable. "We're looking forward to working with the Quickcue engineering team to accelerate our efforts aimed at providing our customers with the most sophisticated mobile waitlist technology on the market and developing our next generation hospitality solutions for restaurants that are primarily walk-in, but accept reservations."
Including the Quickcue acquisition, OpenTable has spent more than $44 million in 2013 buying up potential competitors in the mobile food application industry, according to Securities and Exchange Commission filings. OpenTable, which is publicly traded on the NASDAQ, bought Foodspotting for $10.1 million in February, JustChalo in June for $11 million and Rezbook in July for $12 million.
Quickcue was founded in 2011 during Chattanooga's 48-hour launch event, which challenges entrepreneurs to work together to take their idea from concept to company in just two days. The company found traction among a number of Chattanooga-area fast-casual restaurants like The Terminal, which was one of its first customers.
The budding business, which keeps its headquarters on Main Street, first hit it big when it signed a deal to distribute its software to all restaurants in the Chattanooga-based Craftworks Restaurants and Breweries family in Fall 2012.
Quickcue officials could not immediately be reached for comment. The announcement was released after markets had closed for the day. OpenTable shares on Monday closed at $76.42, up 9 cents per share.

DNA secondary structure may prove to be a significant obstacle both for enzymes that process DNA through an orifice and for the passage of DNA through nanopores proposed for some novel sequencing schemes. A nanomechanical molecular tape reader is assembled by threading a nanopore over DNA and pulling it using an atomic force microscope. Its formation is confirmed by studying the force required to open hairpins under that geometry. Unfolding induced by this 0.7-nm-diameter aperture requires 40 times more force than that reported for pulling on the ends of the DNA. Kinetic analysis shows that much less strain is required to destabilize the double helix in this geometry. Consequently, much more force is required to provide the free energy needed for opening.

text: HISTORY OF FLIGHTOn October 2, 2002, about 1540 eastern daylight time, a Beagle Aircraft B.206 Basset, N72KB, was destroyed after impacting terrain in West Carrollton, Ohio, after departing from the Moraine Airpark (I73), Moraine, Ohio. The certificated airline transport pilot was fatally injured. Visual meteorological conditions prevailed, and an instrument flight rules (IFR) flight plan was filed for the ferry flight destined for the Easton Airport (ESN), Easton, Maryland. The flight was conducted under 14 CFR Part 91.According to a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) inspector, the pilot had applied for, and was granted, a ferry permit to fly the airplane to ESN the day of the accident.According to the operations manager of a fixed based operator at I73, the accident airplane arrived at the airport about the middle of April 2002, and was parked. The airplane remained at the airport until the day of the accident. The operations manager additionally stated that he did not observe the airplane fly at any time while at the airport. On the day of the accident, a mechanic was asked by the pilot to help him because he was having trouble starting the airplane. When the mechanic arrived at the airplane, he drained about 2-1/2 gallons of water from the center sump drain located under the main fuselage. After draining the water, the pilot successfully started the left engine, and subsequently shut it down.The airplane was then fueled at 1300, with 224.5 gallons of 100 low lead aviation gasoline.The mechanic added that he did not sump the airplane after it was fueled, nor did he observe the pilot perform visual inspection of the fuel.A witness, who was a pilot, observed the accident airplane as it was departing from runway 26, a 3,500-foot long asphalt runway. He stated that the airplane's engines sounded like they were running good, but did not sound like they were developing full power. As the airplane continued down the runway, it appeared to be traveling very slowly, and not gaining sufficient speed for takeoff. The airplane lifted abruptly into the air about 3/4 of the way down the runway, and the landing gear was retracted. The airplane settled towards the ground, clearing the levee located at the departure end of the runway by a few feet. The airplane then began a climb again, reaching a height of about 120 feet, and proceeded straight out from the airport. About 30 seconds later, the airplane banked gently to the left, where a faint puff of black smoke was observed coming from an engine. As the bank continued, the airplane descended into a near vertical dive. The witness observed the top portion of the airplane as it was in the vertical dive, before it descended out of sight. The witness also recalled that the propellers sounded like they were synched, and were not making any abnormal noises.The airplane came to rest upright in a residential area about 1 mile southwest of I73, and a post crash fire ensued. The post crash fire also damaged two residential homes and a parked car.The accident occurred during the hours of daylight, at 39 degrees, 40.39 minutes north longitude, 084 degrees, 15.21 minutes west latitude.PILOT INFORMATIONThe pilot held an airline transport pilot certificate with ratings for airplane multi-engine land. He also held a commercial pilot certificate with ratings for airplane single-engine land. The pilot's most recent application for an FAA first class medical certificate was dated on August 1, 2001. The pilot reported a total of 27,560 hours of total flight experience on the application.The pilot's logbook was not obtained during the investigation.AIRCRAFT INFORMATIONThe airplane's most recent annual inspection was completed on March 29, 2001.While the airplane was parked at I73, maintenance was performed on the left engine to "trouble-shoot and resolve" a problem reported by the pilot. The pilot informed the mechanics that would work on the engine that "his experts" determined the problem was with the engine causing oil blow-by from the crankcase. After completing the maintenance, the mechanics determined that the engine was not the problem, it was the previous installation of an STC'd oil filter kit by another maintenance facility. The engine was then test ran, and "all systems appeared to function OK."The airplane's logbooks were not obtained during the investigation.The total fuel capacity for both wing tanks was 230 gallons.METEOROLOGICAL INFORMATIONThe weather reported at the James M. Cox Dayton International Airport, Dayton, Ohio, at 1554, included winds from 220 degrees at 14 knots; 10 statute miles of visibility; few clouds at 3,800 feet; temperature of 81 degrees Fahrenheit; a dew point of 64 degrees Fahrenheit; and an altimeter setting of 30.06 inches of mercury.WRECKAGE INFORMATIONThe accident site was disturbed prior to the arrival of Safety Board personnel due to emergency rescue procedures. In addition, the area was subject to water and firefighting agents to contain the post crash fire.The first impact area was located in the front yard of one of the residential homes. It consisted of two craters, containing the left and right propeller assemblies, and two 5-inch wide, 3-inch deep impressions in the ground. The impressions were about 15 feet in length, and were orientated about a heading of 290 degrees magnetic. About 24 feet beyond the edge of the left impression was a 3-foot section of the left outboard wingtip. About 75 feet beyond the right impression was a 3-foot section of the right outboard wingtip, which came to rest in a road.The main wreckage came to rest on a 245-degree magnetic heading, on top of a concrete sidewalk, about 32 feet behind the first impact point. It was comprised of remnants from the cockpit, main cabin, empennage, left engine, left inboard wing section, horizontal stabilizer, elevator, vertical stabilizer, rudder, right engine, and right inboard wing section.Impact forces and fire damage destroyed all engine instruments recovered in the wreckage. No intact flight instruments or navigational radios were recovered.Both flight control yokes displayed impact and fire damage, and had separated from the airframe.Due to impact and fire damage, the throttle levers, propeller control levers, mixture control levers, landing gear selector handle, landing gear position indicators, elevator trim control, rudder trim control, aileron trim control, trim indicators, cowl flap switches, and cowl flap indicators, were not identified.The left and right engines and propeller assemblies were examined on October 4, 2002, and no mechanical abnormalities were noted. The left engine propeller assembly, which was imbedded in a dirt crater, exhibited rearward bending to all three blades. No chordwise scratching was observed on any of the blades. Red dyed oil was observed draining from the hub assembly. The propeller spinner cap remained attached to the assembly, and was crushed upward and inward.The right engine propeller assembly, which was imbedded in a cement sidewalk crater, exhibited s-bending and chordwise scratches to all three blades. Red dyed oil was observed draining from the hub assembly. The propeller spinner cap remained attached to the assembly, and was crushed upward and inward.MEDICAL AND PATHOLOGICAL INFORMATIONThe Montgomery County, Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, Dayton, Ohio, performed an autopsy on the pilot, on October 3, 2002.The FAA Toxicology and Accident Research Laboratory, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma conducted toxicological testing on the pilot. ADDITIONAL INFORMATIONFuelAn FAA inspector examined fuel sample reports from the airport fuel pump, and the fuel farm tank. No abnormalities were noted with the samples.Wreckage ReleaseThe airplane wreckage was released on October 4, 2002, to a representative of a recovery company.

The global coatings market has been forecast to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.46% through to 2015, with the industry set to hit 8.7 billion gallons and US$107 billion by the year 2017.
Key factors contributing to growth within the painting market include the recovery of global economies from the recent economic turmoil, rapid industrialisation, increasing demand from end-use sectors, such as automotive and construction, the increasing stringency in regulations, rising competition, growth in unique formulations, and technological and product developments.
The recent downturn in the global economic market has mauled the coatings industry, as was the case with several other sectors. The global coatings market, as a whole, along with all major segments witnessed a substantial decline in volume and value sales during the downturn. However, the impact of the recession varied among each segments.
Production within the global coatings market is witnessing a major shift away from the developed regions of Europe and the US, to the developing economies, such as Asia, comprising Korea, India, and China. Sustained demand from the developed countries, in addition to the burgeoning demand from these regions, is contributing to the overall expansion of the coatings market worldwide.
The mergers and acquisitions activity that has been witnessed in the past decade in the coatings industry has made the big players bigger and smaller players finding the going extremely tough. Mature markets tend to form an anti-inflationary environment and this compels companies to reduce costs, and at the same time, enhance productivity. As a result of this, larger companies are left with no alternative but to integrate respective operations into a single entity in order to maintain synergies, cut down on costs and to jointly initiate R&D and marketing efforts to increase sales.
Key players currently dominating the global coatings market include Akzo Nobel NV, PPG Industries Inc., and Sherwin-Williams Co.

Police officers in Georgia are searching for a hit-and-run suspect who struck a pedestrian.
Friday morning, a police officer's dashcam captured video of a black SUV slamming into Carol Floyd, who was crossing a street in the City of Forest Park.
As the police officer tended to the hit-and-run victim, the driver fled from the scene in her SUV.
Carol Floyd says: "I mean, you hit me and just .... I'm sorry ... and you just take off." Floyd adds: "She can't be that sorry. If it was an accident, accidents happen, you know you stick around. You know, I'm not a dog."
Floyd was treated for her injuries.
