District 8 race a toss-up, Barry says he is still fighting for District 7, other council races settled
Nov. 9, 5:10 p.m. After several days in second place, Lori Droste has pulled into the lead in Berkeley's Council District 8. She has 1,995 votes, compared to George Beier's 1,983. Read more.
Original story, Nov. 5 While residents of District 8 may not know for days whether George Beier or Lori Droste will represent them on the Berkeley City Council, the results in two other districts are more clear-cut. But in District 7, where Councilman Kriss Worthington has the lead, his challenger Sean Barry is not willing to concede the race yet.
Jesse Arreguín won handily in District 4, as he ran unopposed.
See the latest figures in Berkeleyside's election 2014 live blog.
Linda Maio won re-election in District 1, an area she has represented for 22 years. She garnered 55.35% of the vote (1,779 votes so far) while Alejandro Soto-Vigil got 39.98% of the vote (1,285 votes). A third candidate, Merrilie Mitchell, got 4.67% of the votes (about 150 votes).
Maio, who, before Soto-Vigil, had not faced a serious challenger since she first ran for office, said she spent a lot of time walking her district. When she spoke to people she emphasized Measure D, the proposed soda tax, and left literature behind that described her accomplishments, she said.
Soto-Vigil made the environment a centerpiece of his campaign, arguing that Maio had not done enough to address the issues surrounding air quality in the district's asphalt plant, among other things. … Continue reading »
Why Berkeley passed a soda tax while other cities failed
The city of Berkeley was basking in glory Wednesday over its passage of the nation's first soda tax, an accomplishment that the beverage industry dismissed as just a whacky — and inconsequential — victory.
Although the soda industry was quick to release a press statement Tuesday night after San Francisco's defeat of a 2-cent-an-ounce tax on soda, it took them hours to respond to the win in Berkeley, where voters passed Measure D with 75% of the vote. … Continue reading »
Berkeley councilman says city mishandled legal fees in Measure S redistricting lawsuit; city disagrees
Less than a week before Berkeley voters will decide whether to adopt new council district boundaries, a local official has criticized the city for how it handled legal fees for a lawsuit over the proposed council lines that are on the Nov. 4 ballot with Measure S.
It's the latest rebuke in a prolonged public battle over district lines that began in earnest last year. City officials and staff have countered that proper procedure was, in fact, followed, and that nothing inappropriate occurred.
At Tuesday night's Berkeley City Council meeting, local resident Stefan Elgstrand told officials he had been dismayed to learn about the payment by staff of $140,000 — which he said council did not approve — to lawyers who represented the city in a lawsuit related to redistricting earlier this year. Elgstrand, who was previously an intern for Councilman Kriss Worthington, authored a map last year that was rejected by council and has been among those leading the charge to have the adopted map thrown out. He's also a lead organizer in the opposition campaign against Measure S. Since Elgstrand's public comment Tuesday, Councilman Jesse Arreguín and his aide Anthony Sanchez have added their voices to the criticism, and publicly excoriated the city for how it handled the payment of the legal fees.
City officials have been working to adopt new district lines for several years, but the process has been contentious. Council adopted a new map in December, and said the boundaries had garnered widespread community approval and complied with all legal requirements. Critics of that map — including Elgstrand, Arreguín, Worthington, Phoebe Sorgen and Council 1 challenger Alejandro Soto-Vigil — then led a referendum drive to force council to rescind that map in favor of a compromise, or put the issue to the voters.
The referendum drive was successful, which suspended the use of the map council had adopted. The city then took to the courts to determine which lines should be used leading up to the November election. A judge ultimately ruled that the map council adopted should determine the districts up through Nov. 4. … Continue reading »

The special session: Disaster preparedness
At 5:30 p.m., Berkeley Fire Chief Gil Dong will give an overview to council about the city's approach to disaster preparedness and emergency management. (It's good timing, as the city just held its annual community-wide disaster preparedness training day Saturday.) The report from Dong also serves as training for council about the role it must play during a disaster. The packet includes a 30-page report called "Resilience in Berkeley: Highlights from 25 years of community support." Read the report. … Continue reading »
District 8 candidates share their vision for downtown
The race for Berkeley's District 8 seat, soon to be vacated by City Councilman Gordon Wozniak, is the most competitive of the 2014 election season. Four candidates are vying for the post: George Beier, Michael Alvarez Cohen, Lori Droste, and Jacquelyn McCormick.
The Downtown Berkeley Association recently sent a set of questions to the four candidates. They mostly focused on their vision of the downtown, although one asked about the city's finances. We publish their responses below:

The lowdown: Berkeley council on racial discrimination, Parker Place, curbside EV charging grant, more
The Berkeley City Council meets Tuesday, with a special session on race-related workforce issues at 5:30 p.m., followed by the regular meeting at 7 p.m.
The special session
Council will hear from a consultant hired last year to look at complaints regarding city practices related to race. A consultant who interviewed city employees about 20 complaints made recommendations for improvement earlier this year. Tuesday evening will be the first chance for council to have an in-depth public discussion about those findings. Council also will hear what the police department is doing to limit the possibility of racial profiling, and about additional resources the city has put into mental health outreach services. Read the report.
The action calendar
PARKER PLACE PLANS STALLED BY APPEAL The mixed-use housing and commercial complex planned for Shattuck Avenue and Parker Street — called Parker Place — is on council's agenda Tuesday due to an appeal of a recent, unanimous zoning board decision to adjust the project's permits. Staff says council should uphold the zoning board's decision. Parker Place was first approved by council in January 2012, and sought to make some adjustments in August of this year after being acquired by Lennar Multifamily Communities and Deutsche Asset & Wealth Management. Berkeleyside will have the full story later this week. … Continue reading »
Streamlined housing crisis center slated for Berkeley
A new one-stop homelessness services shop is in the works in Berkeley.
Announced Tuesday night, the city is changing the way it funds programs offered in town, to prioritize the people with the highest needs, in line with a federal mandate to streamline services into a coordinated system.
The city is looking to create a central office where anyone seeking services will begin the process. Currently, there are too many entry points, as well as duplicative services and a mis-match between those who receive the highest level of assistance and those who needs it most, staff said Tuesday at a work session with the Berkeley City Council.
The city spends about $3 million a year on a range of programs. That is not set to change. But how the money is divvied up, and exactly which types of services receive money, will be different. Unlike the current system, programs will have to fit into set categories to qualify for city support. … Continue reading »

Berkeley's minimum wage is $10 starting today, Oct. 1
Starting today, Oct. 1, a new minimum wage goes into effect in Berkeley with a citywide rate of $10 an hour. This is a dollar higher than the state's minimum and puts Berkeley among the American cities that have a local minimum wage that exceeds state and federal minimums.
The move is the first step in a three-stage plan that sees today's hike to $10, followed by increases annually for two years after that: on Oct. 1, 2015, to $11; and on Oct. 1, 2016, to $12.53. This last rate will match the amount expected in Oakland under a ballot measure in that city likely to pass in November. The Berkeley plan received final approval in an unanimous council vote June 24.
Read Berkeleyside's coverage to date of what led to the minimum wage raise.
"[The] boost to $10 is an important milestone in our efforts to improve the conditions and rights of low-wage workers in Berkeley," said Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates. … Continue reading »

The Berkeley City Council meets Tuesday this week, with a special session on how the city is working to streamline its approach to homeless services at 5:30 p.m., and the regular meeting at 7 p.m.
The special session
Coming up first, an in-depth look at homelessness in Berkeley, including an update about an effort to improve the way people access services the city offers. Earlier this year, the city hired a consultant to look closely at the city's process for providing services. The consultant highlighted several areas for improvement, noting that the city is providing overlapping and duplicative services to people; that those with the highest needs are not "effectively targeted" for help; that money is not focused enough on helping people get housing; and that the delayed process for data-entry is also leading to inefficiencies.

Marion Write - How To Fly
Artist: Marion Write
Producer: DJ Finyl
Album: Illustrated Example
Avg Rating: 3.9 ( 8 votes )
The last time I wrote a review on Marion Write, it was the 10th anniversary of the September 11 attacks. The Sunlight was a pretty heavy introduction to Marion's work so I couldn't help but be impressed by his versatility when I heard his banging new single How to Fly, making its world premiere tonight on The DJBooth. Produced by DJ Finyl, How to Fly is a head-nodding and bluesy sample driven instrumental which inspires Marion to go into detail, giving us a lyrically Fly demonstration that would even impress the Wright brothers. Featuring fellow Vegas rapper S-U-Preme, both emcees take turns letting the listener know just what weapons they're holding in their arsenal – "Jon Travolta these youngins and rip they face off" - and just what they need to be comfortable while high altitude cruising. So if you've been wanting to know what it takes to beef up your A-game, press play and jot down some notes from Write on today's work, then be sure to cop his new album, Illustrated Example, when it drops this Tuesday via The DJBooth.

Swordigo first came to Android as a part of Humble Mobile Bundle 3, and while it's usually difficult to snag a game for a lower price than pay-what-you-want, this time you can. Developer Touch Foo has released the game into the Play Store as a free download. Swordigo is well-rated on the Apple App Store, and it looks like a pretty safe bet if you're in the mood for an attractive, action-packed platformer.
Are you ready for a sci-fi adventure with aliens, spaceships, and lots of lasers blowing stuff up? Well, you get two of those in the hotly anticipated choose-your-own-adventure game Out There. It's available now on Android, and it ought to be compatible with almost all devices.
In Out There, you play the part of an astronaut waking up from cryogenic hyper-naptosis (or something) far away from Earth. You must survive and make your way through space to unravel a mystery and save mankind.
If you play games to relax, it might be in your best interest to leave this page right away. Here are forty other games you could consider instead. Don't worry, we won't hold it against you. You see, contrary to how it looks, Dual Survivor isn't an action game. Things shoot at you, but you do not get to shoot back. Your goal is just to protect your cargo as best as you can, only you're not simply maneuvering one energy core around various threats, you're transporting two.
Crescent Moon Games calls its latest mobile title, Demonrock: War of Ages, a "reverse defense" game. What does that mean? It's a dungeon crawler that tasks you with breaking through the enemy's defenses (not that unlike every other dungeon crawler out there). Reverse defense equals offense, and there's about all you're going to do here. You have four heroes to choose from, each ready to break through hordes of enemies in their own way.
There was a lot of excitement when Eutechnyx announced it was developing a new Warhammer 40k game late last year. The Warhammer fan base might not be very deep, but it's fanatically devoted. With that in mind, the response to this trailer is understandably negative. It looks less like the combat strategy games usually associated with Warhammer, and more like Plants vs. Zombies.
You know how it goes - some games just play better with physical buttons, and the latest title from Crescent Moon Games, Shadow Blade, feels like one of them. Yet if you disregard for a moment that you've ever used a gamepad before, this game won't remind you incessantly the way most side-scrollers do. The control scheme, which consists largely of taps and swipes, is actually pretty intuitive. With enough practice, it really makes the game worth playing.
Welcome to the latest entry in our Bonus Round series, wherein we tell you all about the new Android games of the day that we couldn't get to during our regular news rounds.

Today we've got a stick figure sniper game, a Smash bros-style online brawler, and a simple hot potato party title.
Nothing like a little robot-on-robot violence, right? Kongregate's newest game on Android had a good run over on iOS and the name tells you pretty much everything you need to know about it – Endless Boss Fight. You fight bosses, endlessly.
Your main character is a little punching robot that has to do battle with big, heavily armed robot boss machines. You duck, weave, and punch your way through one after another until you lose.
It's time to take your foot off the gas. No, seriously, take your fo - see? You've spun out. That's what happens when you approach Colin McRae Rally as though it were any other racer on the market. This is a thinking man's racing game, one that requires you to go into each turn with calculation and precision. The franchise has made a name for itself over the decade and a half it's been around, and now a mobile game based on the original two PlayStation and PC games is available for Android.

Posts Tagged 'UGA'
In battle of Bulldogs, the ones from Spokane win 88-76
Mark Fox has got to be wishing that Kyle Wiltjer was still living in Lexiington, Kentucky right now.
The junior from Portland overwhelmed the Georgia defense on Wednesday night, scoring 32 points from just about every spot on the court.
The Zags pounced on UGA from the start, opening up a 12-2 lead before 4 minutes had elapsed, following a three-pointer from Kevin Pangos. To Georgia's credit, though, they weathered the storm, bringing the Gonzaga advantage to 16-8 after a Charles Mann jumper with 13:38 remaining in the half.
However, the Dawgs failed to ever make it a one or two possession game. Gonzaga would build a double-digit lead, and then UGA would make a small run, getting with 7, 8 or 9 points, only to have the Zags back up by 12 or 14 just minutes later.
Honestly, Gonzaga never really appeared threatened by Georgia. Every time the Dawgs started to get close, Wiltjer or Pangos, who finished with 22 points, would knock down a timely bucket to keep UGA at bay.
Georgia's last push came with 7:35 left in the game, when a layup by Neme Djurisic made it 65-57, in favor of Gonzaga. But, 4 quick points by Wiltjer, and a minute later the Zags were back up by 12 points. Ultimately, Gonzaga ended up coasting to an 88-76 victory.
The lone bright spot for the Dawgs was point guard Charles Mann, who played his best game of the season, scoring 23 points to go along with 6 rebounds, 5 assists and 4 steals. Mann was the only UGA player that was able to create any offense against this bigger Gonzaga team.
This game exposed some glaring weaknesses in Georgia's perimeter defense, which was unable to contain the Gonzaga backcourt. All night, the Dawgs looked a step slow, allowing the Zag guards to drive the ball into the lane whenever they wanted.
Offensively, Georgia had its issues as well. One thing that was quite clear from last night's performance was that UGA does not have an inside game, or at least not when they play against real teams. Marcus Thornton, who was coming off back-to-back 17-point efforts, was flustered by the bigger Gonzaga front court. Thornton spent the entire game in foul trouble, scoring just 9 points and committing 4 turnovers; he had to be missing the smaller, less physical frontcourts of both Troy and Florida Atlantic.
Another chink in UGA's offensive armor was on the perimeter, where the Dawgs continued to struggle from beyond the arc. After going 4 for 16 on three-pointers last night, Georgia is now shooting a frigid 26% on three's this season. Kenny Gaines, who is hitting only 26% himself, has yet to find his touch from a year ago. Other than J.J. Frazier, who is knocking down almost 37% from beyond the arc, no one else on the UGA roster poses much of a threat from the outside.
Whether Coach Mark Fox can clean up some of his team's faults remains to be seen. None of his big men are going to grow any taller over the next few months, so it's hard to envision much improvement in the frontcourt offense.
Kenny Gaines can and most likely will begin shooting better, which will certainly help.
But can anyone honestly say that after watching last night's contest that this UGA squad looks like an NCAA tournament team?
Why Georgia has to beat Gonzaga on Wednesday
On Wednesday night in New York, the Georgia Bulldogs will play the Gonzaga Bulldogs inside Madison Square Garden as part of the preseason NIT. This game represents an opportunity for both teams to secure an out of conference win against a worthy opponent. For Georgia though, this contest is a chance for Coach Mark Fox's team to prove its relevance in the college basketball world in prime time on a national stage.
Here are a few reasons as to why I believe that Georgia must win this game:
1. UGA has to prove being a good SEC team means something
Last season Georgia went 12-6 in the Southeastern Conference, and they were barely in the NCAA Bubble discussion. Most pundits felt that the Dawgs had to win the SEC tournament to get in, giving them the same scenario that they basically face towards the end of every season. For several years now, the SEC has been routinely sending just 3 or 4 teams to the Big Dance, making it pretty clear what the NCAA selection committee thinks about the quality of basketball played in this league. Having another successful conference season just isn't going to do it for Coach Fox this year (and I do think they will be a top 5 SEC team). Fox scheduled games against Gonzaga, Colorado and Kansas State to bolster the RPI, which was an achilles heel for this team a year ago. Playing in these games is not enough, though; UGA must show that they can beat high caliber teams outside of their own conference, and they've already blown one opportunity against their in-state rivals (whether Tech is high caliber or not remains to be seen). Only winning the games against the Troy's and Florida Atlantic's of the world will earn Georgia another trip back to the postseason NIT, at best.
2. Mark Fox is due
The Georgia Bulldogs haven't beaten a ranked opponent outside of the SEC since Fox's initial team took down the then-ranked #20 Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets 73-66 in Athens. Matter of fact, CMF's teams have only won two games against ranked opponents since the departures of Trey Thompkins and Travis Leslie. In that same span of games, UGA has yet to beat a team ranked lower than 20th. In Gonzaga, Georgia will be competing with a team that recently landed inside of the top 10 in both the AP and USA Polls. The Zags, who are 4-0, have already beaten #22 SMU by more than 10 points. They have destroyed their other three opponents, winning all of the games by 40+ points. Gonzaga is off to a great start this year, and more than likely they will go on to have a strong season. When March rolls around, a win against the Zags could really serve to enhance an NCAA tournament resume, considering Gonzaga themselves will surely be dancing.
Make no doubt about, the Zags are incredibly talented. Through 4 games, they are averaging almost 95 points a night (7th in the country), with nearly 7 players scoring in double-figures. UGA needs its best game of the year out of junior Charles Mann, who could significantly impact this game should he manage to get some of the Zags' starters in foul trouble. Georgia cannot go toe-to-toe with Gonzaga's firepower for 40 minutes; but, if they could manage to get to the free throw line and slow the game down, the Dawgs could have a chance.
Here is Seth Greenberg's take:
Dawgs win third straight game, silence Owls
Seniors Marcus Thornton and Nemanja Djurisic continued their strong play from Friday night's contest – a game in which they each of scored 17 points – against the Owls of Florida Atlantic on Sunday. In this evening's game, Thornton put the Dawgs on his broad shoulders and carried them to a 74-61 victory, scoring 17 again to go along with 12 rebounds and 5 blocks.
Neme, who seemed to the be the catalyst for a majority of Georgia's scoring plays, nearly messed around and got a triple-double, scoring 8 points, grabbing 10 boards and dishing out 8 assists. The senior appears to be as comfortable as ever putting the ball on the floor this season, and for now, it is working for Coach Fox's team.
UGA's offense ran as smoothly as it has all year, with the Dawgs hitting cutters down the lane off of screens – the performance was vintage Fox, circa the days of Thompkins, Leslie and GR22. Georgia had 15 team assists, and they shot a robust 46% from the floor.
The only other UGA player to score in double digits was Kenny Gaines, who chipped in 15 for the game. Gaines definitely looks a lot closer to 100% than he did a little over a week ago, knocking down a three and throwing down a couple of thunderous dunks.
Charles Mann, who's been hot and cold so far this season, struggled against the Owls, netting just 8 points, going 2 for 8 from the field. He had trouble finishing on his drives tonight, and he seemed like he was forcing it at times.
Once Georgia took command of this game – carrying an 8 point lead into the break – they never really felt threatened by the Owls. The Dawgs kept their advantage above 10 points for nearly the entire second half, coasting to their third straight win since losing to Georgia Tech in the season opener.
Coach Fox's team turned in another solid defensive effort, limiting FAU to just 41% shooting from the floor. The Dawgs dominated the rebounding battle, snagging 45 boards to the Owls' 32.
Marquan Botley led all scorers with 20 points.
The Owls, who are now 1-3 on the year, were projected to finish in the lower echelon of the Conference USA. While Georgia's recent win streak has come at the expense of some pretty soft competition, the Dawgs have looked good winning.
Next week's matchup with #13 Gonzaga will really give fans a chance to measure just exactly what kind of team Coach Fox has this year.
Dawgs win second game in a row, improving to 2-1
On Friday night, the Georgia Bulldogs made the Troy Trojans look every bit the part of a team that was projected to finish near the bottom of the Sun Belt Conference this season. The Dawgs got the ball to the rim just about any time they wanted, whether in the half court set or on the run, helping them cruise to an 82-60 home win.
The game was really only close for about the first seven minutes, which was due mainly to the fact that it began tied at zero. Neme Djurisic, who finished with 17 points, put UGA up 22-11 on a three-pointer with 13:47 remaining in the first half. Several plays later, Marcus Thornton, who also netted 17, threw down a dunk that gave the Dawgs a 27-16 advantage; Georgia's lead stayed above double-digits for the remainder of the game.
From the opening tip, Troy looked completely outmatched in this one. The Trojans defense was just plain pitiful, allowing Georgia players to routinely coast towards the basket virtually uncontested. Mark Fox's team scored an unprecedented 56 points in the paint, nearly 70% of the team's offense on the night.
The Bulldogs enjoyed their second consecutive game with balanced scoring as Charles Mann and Kenny Gaines added 14 and 12, respectively, to compliment Thornton and Djurisic's offensive production.
The lone bright spot for Troy was Wesley Person, whose NBA lineage includes his father Wesley Person, Sr., and his uncle Chuck Person, also known as "The Rifleman". Against the Dawgs, Junior led his team with 20 points in the losing effort.
I will say that while it is sometimes difficult to judge the level of play of a team when going against a lesser opponent, Georgia's defense did look quite stifling tonight. The Dawgs were quick to collapse on the ball when it got into the post, and they held Troy to under 37% for the game from the floor. In addition, UGA snagged 43 boards to go along with 11 steals and 9 blocks.
The Dawgs have a game this Sunday against Florida Atlantic before they prepare for a big time showdown with the Gonzaga Bulldogs in Madison Square Arena next week.
Georgia gets first victory of the 2014-2015 season
Calling Georgia's offense balanced on Tuesday night would be an understatement, considering that Mark Fox got double-digit scoring from five players against the Stoney Brook Seawolves in the opening game of the preseason NIT. Charles Mann, Kenny Gaines, Yante Maten, Neme Djurisic and Marcus Thornton all eclipsed the ten-point threshold, with Mann leading the way with a team-high 15 points. The Dawgs appeared to be in more of rhythm offensively, knocking down nearly 46% of their shots from the floor en route to an 80-70 win.
The Seawolves came out of the gates firing, though, building up a 16-8 lead in the game's first four minutes ,with most of the damage being done by junior guard Carson Puriefoy. During the aforementioned stretch, Puriefoy scored 9 points, and he finished the half with 21.
Despite Puriefoy's performance, Georgia managed to carry a 48-41 advantage into the intermission. But once Georgia was able to contain Puriefoy, the Dawgs began to open up more of a lead down the stretch. UGA held the game's leading scorer to zero field goals after the break, and even though Puriefoy finished with 26 points, he was pretty much shut down in the second half.
After corralling Puriefoy, UGA pushed its lead beyond 20 points a couple of times; but, some late threes from Stoney Brook in mop-up time enabled the Seawolves to trim the score to just ten.
Yante Maten, who scored 11 points, made several nice drop-step post moves on the block.
Kenny Gaines did not start in this one, but he looks as though he is starting to regain his form, contributing 13 points, which included a pair of three-pointers; he also had an explosive dunk off of a fast break, showing that his legs seem to have recovered from his recent bout with mononucleosis.
The most improved player from a year ago, though, may be sophomore J.J. Frazier, who has developed an ability to penetrate and use excellent body control to finish around the rim (or at least get fouled). Frazier peppered the stat sheet tonight with 8 points, 4 assists and 3 rebounds, and most importantly, no turnovers.
Overall, Georgia's play was much improved this evening against an opponent picked by most to win the American East Conference in the preseason. Now that Georgia is off their radar, hopefully the Seawolves can string together a 20+ win season and secure the AEC title.
Not that I am insinuating that this was a resume-building win.
Dawgs drop the opener to rival Georgia Tech
Charles Mitchell, who had spurned Georgia twice already on the recruiting front, torched the Dawgs in Atlanta on Friday night for 20 points and 9 rebounds en route to an 80-73 Georgia Tech victory. Mitchell was one of Fox's targets coming out of Wheeler High School a few years ago, but the young man opted to go to Maryland. Last year, when Mitchell chose to leave Maryland to return to the state of Georgia so he could be closer to his grandmother, he again snubbed UGA, selecting Tech as his new basketball destination. Despite these choices, last evening he appeared to be playing possessed, with a chip on his shoulder, almost. And, Mitchell gives the Yellow Jackets something that the Dawgs desperately need: a post who can play with his back to the basket.
Much like in the exhibition game last week, Georgia's offense looked clunky, making just 27% of its shots in the game's opening half. The Dawgs ended the game hitting nearly 42% from the floor, but Mark Fox's team appears to be lacking scoring options, especially when Charles Mann has a 3 for 11 shooting performance. While Fox's offensive scheme involves a lot of motion and picks, without playmakers it simply does not work. This system still needs players who can slice their way into the lane from the wing position, and right now, I'm scratching my head wondering who on Georgia can fill that roll?
Despite starting poorly, UGA managed to hang around in this contest, cutting the lead as low as 4 points after a Marcus Thornton bucket with 14:39 left in the game and Georgia Tech up 50-46. However, back-to-back field goals by Charles Mitchell – one of them an awkward dunk off a break – pushed the Jackets lead back up to 8 points.
Whenever Georgia managed to get close, Tech would pull away. Quinton Stephens, who led all scorers with 22 points, was a menace for UGA all night, connecting on 6 of his eight shots from beyond the arc.
The Dawgs' best performance was turned in by Djurisic, who finished with 18 points, helping to keep his team around before the intermission with some timely three-pointers.
Cameron Forte wins the award for the most efficient performance of the night, scoring 5 points and grabbing 3 rebounds to go along with a steal and a block, all in just 4 minutes of play. Forte's lack of presence on the court as the game progressed was perplexing since he was giving his team a viable scoring option. Last season, Forte's defense is what limited his playing time; whether that has improved or not, he needs to be in the lineup more because this team needs all the help it can get on the other side of the ball.
This loss is going to sting (pun intended). Georgia Tech does not look like a very good team, and it seems likely that they will end up near the bottom of the ACC, just as was projected by numerous media sources. Whether this game will hurt UGA's NCAA hopes later in the year probably shouldn't be of much concern to Georgia fans because right now this Dawgs' team does not have the looks of an NCAA tournament team.
What should worry Dawgs' fans is that Mark Fox has now dropped four straight to the Jackets, which hasn't happened since the 1960's (back when Tech was in the SEC). Georgia gets a slew of cupcake games before taking on Gonzaga in New York on November 26th as part of the preseason NIT.
Georgia wins exhibition game against Georgia Southwestern 65-61
Georgia played an exhibition game at exhibition quality on Thursday night as they snuck by the Hurricanes of Georgia Southwestern, a powerhouse hailing from the mighty ranks of the NCAA's Division II.
I realize that UGA was without Kenny Gaines, the team's second-leading scorer from a year ago. And I realize that Coach Fox intended to play a lot of guys and try some different lineups, which he did. It was a glorified scrimmage; I get it.
However, Georgia looked awfully competitive with the Hurricanes tonight, especially when they headed to the locker rooms at the break trailing GSW by a score of 26-23.
For nearly 30 minutes Georgia looked out of sorts and stagnant on offense, misusing screens and struggling to feed the ball inside effectively. UGA shot under 35% from the floor in the first half, and they connected on just 2 of their 15 three-point attempts in this game. Finally – about midway through the second half, J.J. Frazier, who ended up with 9 points, was able to start penetrating the stout Hurricane defense, getting to the line and creating some offense.
Georgia ended up extending its lead into double-digits with several minutes remaining in the game, only to let GSW close the gap to four, giving UGA the 65-61 win. To be fair, the Dawgs had the bench cleared during this entire stretch.
While it was encouraging to see Kenny Gaines on the bench in street clothes – I guess he is not bedridden – it was quite clear that his absence will be difficult to replace if he cannot go next Friday night in Atlanta against Georgia Tech. Juwan Parker finished with 10 points on the night, but he shot the ball horribly from the outside, missing badly on all of his three-point attempts.
Yaten Maten recorded a double-double in his first appearance inside Stegeman, scoring 10 points to go along with 12 boards and 4 assists. He definitely has a nice build and he looks like he could develop into a nice player for Coach Fox, but the key word here is "develop". Most of Maten's points tonight were of the second-chance variety, which will be much more difficult to come by when he starts taking on opponents that are his size or bigger.
Not to beat a horse to death, but this game provided a small example of just how much Georgia could miss Brandon Morris this year, especially his length and ability to drive the ball to the basket off the dribble. Cameron Forte had a couple of nice takes tonight in the second half, but he doesn't quite have that same explosiveness that Morris had when he got into the lane.
Whatever medication the UGA staff is administering to Kenny Gaines needs to be doubled ASAP. Georgia has to have him in the lineup when they start the season because without him they don't have a lot of viable scoring options.

A Delta dog walker is facing a slew of animal cruelty charges after six dogs died in her care in May.
Emma Paulsen faces four charges under the Criminal Code, including killing or injuring an animal, causing unnecessary pain and suffering to an animal, failing to provide necessaries to an animal and falsely reporting an offence.
She is also charged with two counts under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, including one charge under a new provision that makes it an offence to fail to protect an animal from circumstances likely to cause distress.
It's a charge that holds a person accountable even before the animal comes to harm, explained Marcie Moriarty of the B.C. SPCA.
It's also the first time the provision has been used since it was enacted in 2012 in the wake of the Whistler sled dog cull in 2010.
"It's the starting offence," said Moriarty. "This paints a picture of the suffering that these animals went through."
The charges were sworn against Paulsen on Aug. 8.
Paulsen had initially reported the animals were stolen out of her canopy truck May 13 while parked at a Langley parking lot near an off-leash park.
A private pet investigator later alleged Paulsen told him the dogs had perished from heat exhaustion in her truck and that she panicked and concocted the story.
Court records show the animal-cruelty offences were allegedly committed in Richmond.
The bodies of the six dogs were found in an Abbotsford ditch. One of the dogs belonged to Paulsen.

Pa. man arrested after chase, theft of Salem cruiser
Zygarowski ripped off the Taser prongs and knocked the Taser out of Pearson's hands, according to police. He then jumped back into his car and fled.
Zygarowski turned onto Interstate 495 South and drove into Lawrence, Mass., taking the exit for Route 114 West with Pearson still behind in pursuit, police said.
Zygarowski eventually got out of his car on Essex Street, and Pearson - without backup - ordered Zygarowski to stop.
Pearson detained the passengers as police officers from Lawrence, Salem and the Massachusetts State Police arrived. The cruiser was found a few blocks away on Merrimack View Court in Lawrence.
A widespread search by police was being conducted when a gas station worker about 3½ miles away called police about a man inside Ted's Mobil on Route 28 in Methuen, Mass.
Officers from Methuen, Salem, the Essex County Sheriff's Office, Massachusetts State Police and New Hampshire State Police converged on the area.
He is being held at the Rockingham County Jail in Brentwood pending his arraignment Monday in 10th Circuit Court, Salem Division.
Additional charges are expected, and the investigation is ongoing, police said. The two passengers cooperated with the investigation and were not charged. One passenger said he repeatedly asked to be let out of the car, police said.

In Mixed Catch, NF Senior Editor Linc Bedrosian spotlights a wide range of commercial fishing-related news items from coast to coast.
Friday, 30 July 2010
Media reports this week have questioned whether the amount of damage the oil that's gushed out of the Deepwater Horizon will cause has been over-hyped.
Over-hyped? Seriously?
Who can make that kind of proclamation? Nobody, that's who.
Nobody knows precisely how much damage the estimated 92 million gallons released into the Gulf of Mexico will do to the ecosystem. Nor do they know how long whatever damage is inflicted will last.
Nobody knows. Not BP, not the Coast Guard, not NOAA, not the scientists, not the environmentalists, not the fishermen, nobody.
The media doesn't know either. But it's a slave to the demands to feed the ever-ravenous beast that is the 24-hour news cycle. Those demands are why stories such as the spill being over-hyped are generated.
So be it. Just take such reports with the proverbial grain of salt. Where the Deepwater Horizon disaster is concerned, everyone is in uncharted territory. And as much as we all want answers and all damage rectified pronto, such resolution will only occur over time.

West Coast rapper Game will have to once again dig into his pockets to handle a legal matter relating to unpaid expenses for customized jewelry.
Details on Game's $91,000 case landed online Wednesday (February 9).
The Game is officially on the hook … again … this time for $90,999 — after the rapper allegedly failed to pay for some ridiculously expensive custom jewelry he commissioned over three years ago. An L.A. judge handed the order down last week … demanding Game — real name Jayceon Taylor — settle his astronomical balance with jewelry company Lemmerman's Inc. stat. (TMZ)
Additional information claims Game ordered multiple customized jewelry pieces.
The order stems from an outstanding debt first made public in a complaint filed last year. The original filing asserted that Game received a 14k white gold chain with white stones and a 14k yellow gold chain with yellow stones for $15,000 apiece; a diamond stud for $4,000; a 14k white gold and a 14k yellow gold 5-row bracelet for $17,500 apiece; and two other golditems for $30,000. The overall debt amounts to $99,000, but Lemmerman's claims that Game did manage to pay off some of his debt some years back. Since then, Game has refused payment on the items and now must tack on additional interest fees. (The Boom Box)
Last week, Game talked about having to pay his cousin Robert Kirkwood $50,000 in damages over a 2008 fight.
"To lose $50 grand ain't nothing to a n*gga you know what I'm saying man," Game explained in an interview. "I used to sleep in the back of a f*cking car man, so I ain't trippin', I was never even supposed to have any of this. I'm just blessed. By the grace of God I've been able to have longevity. Haters, n*ggas wanna see me fall and sue me, more power to you. I done did it all, I had Aston Martins, Lamborghini's, n*gga I got a Porsche outside right now. Benz's, houses, man. Sh*t man, I'm up to $70 grand-a-month, gases prices are going up, my kids shoe size's is growing. [My son] Harlem is big as sh*t, he's playing basketball, going to camps, I'm dishing out cheese like going broke is the sh*t!" (All Hip Hop)
Outside of legal matters, Game recently discussed supporting the Super Bowl champion Green Bay Packers prior to last Sunday's NFL championship game.
While the majority seem to be siding with Pittsburgh (not including Lil Wayne, of course), outspoken L.A. rapper the Game is putting all his chips behind the Green Bay Packers. "'Green and yellow, green and yellow,'" the Game told MTV News. "They got the G's on they helmet. You gotta go with the team with the G's on their helmet." (MTV)

Los Angeles Coroner's official Michael Cormier died last week and sources cited by the Los Angeles Times, state law enforcement officials believe Cormier may have been poisoned. Well, the story is making the rounds on Twitter, with many under the impression that Cormier was responsible for investigating the cause of conservative blogger Andrew Breitbart's death.

Of course, President Obama is accused for assassinating Andrew Breitbart and Michael Cromier in one tweet:
Like Breitbart and then the coroner for Breitbart? RT @rrdurbin: By assassinating citizens Obama (cont) tl.gd/h6pmda
— lakesunrise (@lakesunrise) April 29, 2012
There is no evidence tying Michael Cormier to the investigation of Andrew Breitbart's death. It just shows how things, flawed or inconclusive, take root and spread like wild fire on Twitter. Too many people are elevating Andrew Breitbart to a status of such importance that the Obama administration would go out of its way to kill him. That's just not so.

Exclusive Existence Leads: Suggestions for Productive Cell phone, Net Product sales
Organised organizations do record all revenue leads on a database and then adhere to them up methodically primarily based on a phone back system. Nonetheless occasionally this can also develop complications in that the time invested loading leads up and contact back attempts might mean that revenue leads slip by means of the net.
Non product sales folks do struggle with follow up sales leads occasionally and frequently give up chasing customers immediately after one-2 attempts at calling even so exploration has proven that it takes an typical of 7 attempts to get hold of a prospect.
Think about Outsourcing Sales Lead Followup
For organizations that only get in two-three enterprise enquiries a day, outsourcing may not be best alternative, as a little organisation and tenacity is all that is needed to make certain that leads are followed up promptly and as couple of as possible fall via the net.

This way all leads are going to be logged and place into a proper get in touch with back method to make certain that every single a single is chased and none slip by way of. There are always going to be leads that are difficult to comply with up (due to folks currently being busy or not answering their phones) or dud leads, but the wasted leads should be stored to a minimal.
The primary issue to recall is that income leads need to have to be followed up inside a couple of minutes of them enquiring, following up a lead hours or days will only lead to revenue leads going cold and clients going to competitors.
For insurance agents looking for out unique life leads, it is important to realize that it is turning into much more common for prospects to acquire life insurance coverage on the mobile phone or by means of the Internet, instead than coming to an agent's office. It's a distinct planet than it was 5 or 10 years ago. People want rapidly, practical, instant gratification, and the cellphone and Online are capable to meet these needs successfully. The essential to achievement as an agent is to know how to maximize these exclusive life leads by means of cellphone or Online communication.
Even though meeting prospects in man or woman may well be the best way to sell insurance, since you can interact and make rapport, the reality is that more and a lot more customers want to use the mobile phone or Internet, so agents ought to find out to adapt to this method of promoting. The good news is that it is nevertheless attainable to create rapport and develop self-assurance in your goods via the telephone or Online. The essential is to speak kindly and professionally and carry on getting buyer-targeted in all of your communications.

Historic preservationist Joseph McGill, founder of the Slave Dwelling Project, will pay his first visit to Tennessee with a presentation, lecture and overnight stay May 22 at the historic Clover Bottom Mansion.
Historic preservationist Joseph McGill, founder of the Slave Dwelling Project, will pay his first visit to Tennessee with a presentation, lecture and overnight stay May 22 at the historic Clover Bottom Mansion. The event is free and open to the public.
"We are very honored to host Mr. McGill and to combine our annual awards program with this special presentation," said Patrick McIntyre, State Historic Preservation Officer and Executive Director of the Tennessee Historical Commission. "Since 2010, McGill has traveled the country staying in the former homes of enslaved residents in order to bring attention to the scarcity of these properties and the need to preserve them. This is his first visit to Tennessee for this project."
McGill will keynote a special lecture entitled "Silent Witnesses: Preserving Slave Dwellings" at 2 p.m. Also joining McGill will be Dr. Bobby L. Lovett of Tennessee State University, who will discuss slave life in Nashville and Tennessee.
John Baker, author and Wessyngton Plantation slave descendant, will speak on his ongoing work to identify former slaves from this Robertson County plantation, and THC staff member Steve Rogers will speak about Clover Bottom Plantation and John McCline, who was born a slave at Clover Bottom and served in the Union Army in the Civil War.
The Commission will present the 40th Annual Certificate of Merit Awards at 3:30 p.m. This program recognizes people and projects from around the state who have contributed to preserving historic places and/or the history of Tennessee as part of National Preservation Month.
Following Thursday's events, McGill will stay overnight in a historic period outbuilding at Clover Bottom. He will then spend Friday night at Alfred's Cabin at the Hermitage and Saturday evening at Bob Green's Cabin at Belle Meade Plantation.
McGill's visit is being funded with grant support from the Tennessee Wars Commission, a part of the Historical Commission. The Tennessee Historical Commission is the State Historic Preservation Office.

"(27) Member States should encourage the modernisation of distribution networks, such as through the introduction of smart grids, which should be built in a way that encourages decentralised generation and energy efficiency."
If you can point me towards the article that says smart meters are an requirement it would be helpful.

Facebook shares flutter as firm reports user growth slowing
End of the social network
When the current IT bubbles implodes it is going to hit the current social networks hard. Mostly Facebook since it is based on weak foundation and always has been. I don't know if anything is going to replace Facebook or the social network as we know them. It might not happen, or something else might appear out the chaos the IT bubble v.2.0 crash is going to bring.
Doctor Who becomes an illogical, unscientific, silly soap opera in Kill The Moon
Still haven't got past episode two
I still haven't got past episode two. I don't like this new "what-ever-it-is" in the episodes. This was bad in the last series, but it is unbearable now. Somebody (the writers) is clearly doing a job that he does not like or care about, but wants the pay-check for it anyway.
While I won't ignore the current season. It won't be on any of my favourites lists.

Until that streaming service goes the bankrupt path. Should happen soon, when the I.T 2.0 bubble goes burst. I am sure that is going to happen soon. Since that bubble has expanded high and wide over the past few years.
Steelie Neelie: Enjoy your EXCLUSIVE UHF spectrum in 2020, mobile operators
What about stop using GSM?
What about killing something like GSM, a outdated technology by any standard today. It uses 900/1800Mhz.
Mobile doesn't need anything from 700Mhz and up to 2600Mhz (with gaps in it). They already have huge amount of spectrum to use. In fact, this is what they got already.
800Mhz (LTE)
900Mhz (GSM/3G)
1800Mhz (GSM/LTE)
2100Mhz (3G/LTE)
2600Mhz (LTE)
I think that would be enough for everyone if controlled in reasonable manner.

Shine on you crazy diamond: Distant dwarf may hide space jewel
Re: Dense diamond
@ Anonymous Coward
"I think you'll find the density would indeed change quite a bit if you managed to [...]". Now you have to explain this claim to me. With data, please.
I did not find not the explanation I was looking for, but this is close enough. Teaspoon of white dwarf stuff has the weight of around 5 tons.
Re: Dense diamond
@ Grikath
This is just regular old physics. This diamonds are heavier than the diamonds you find on Earth, since in each one of them have more carbon molecules than in diamonds found on Earth due the gravity and compression that they did undergo when they where formed in a core of a supernova. That density is not changed even if a peace of them would be removed from the surface of a white dwarf (I don't see how that would be possible, this white dwarf has the same gravity as our own sun).
It is also worth noticing that this white dwarf is orbiting a neutron star, even heavier and more dense star then the white dwarf.
You can read an science paper on this subject here.
Dense diamond
This also means that the diamonds, or crystallized carbon is also dense. A piece with a size sand particle having the mass of a two or three buses (maybe more). Not useful on Earth at all and not even is space. A size of pebble would have same gravity as the moon.
Myspace: Where are you going? We still have all your HUMILIATING PICS

I once had a Myspace account. It has been deleted long time ago. I did try once to re-lunch my Myspace account. It failed and it got deleted again.
It is going to stay that way. I don't plan to return to Myspace any time soon. I also expect a lot of accounts to be deleted in next few days and weeks with this email campaign taking place.
Creepy Facebook urges users to pester friends about their SEX LIVES
It is already considered suspicious if you are not on-line
@ adnim, It is already considered suspicious if you are not on-line if you have been that in the past. A pregnant women found that out in the U.S some months ago. There was a news on this on BBC News few weeks ago. I don't know if it was covered here at The Register.
The general assumption seems to be that everyone is on-line on the internet if they can. This applies mostly to the younger generation. There are some people who are not on-line due to economic or social factors (this is all calculated by the NSA and other spying organizations around the world). In the U.S at least there are around 35 to 50 million people that are not on the internet and never have been on the internet. The number is around the same (in counts of %) in the EU.
As for Facebook, that platform is already dead. I have noticed a sharp drop in postings on it over the past few months. It is my best guess that this drop started around 20 or close to it months ago and has been continuing since. People don't delete there accounts right away, but I think Facebook has just gone the MySpace way and nobody noticed it yet (at least, not many people anyway at this point).
I am sure as going to drop Facebook soon as I can, in the same manner as I did when I dropped MySpace when it died few years ago. MySpace still exists, it just doesn't have so many users today as it did on its peak.

Minecraft players can now download Denmark – all of it – in 1:1 scale
No TNT in Minecraft did go well, short of
According to DR Nyheder the plea about not using TNT did not go that well. The map of Denmark has been so good as destroyed by 10.000 players taking a poke at the Minecraft server hosting Denmark. The traffic was so high at one point that the server crashed. I hope the creators of the map of Denmark made a backup copy of it for an hard reset in the future.
There are pictures of the damage in this news. Its in Danish.

Denmark is not Baltic. It's Scandinavian, there is an difference in terms of culture. As for the map. Many people need bigger hard drives before they can download the map.

VAT's all folks: Telecoms and services tax to be set at consumer's homeland rate
Re: Glad I live in Switzerland...
I live next to Germany in Denmark. In Denmark the VAT rate is 25% on everything. While it is only 7% on food and 19% on everything else in Germany. The price is also lower in Germany then in Denmark.
There is however no limit on how much I can take with me over the border. Unless its soda (coca-cola and such) or beer. Since that is limited to 250 Liters on person according to EU rules. If it goes over that you have to pay toll of it and maybe VAT. For normal person it is not an issue since most people don't shop that much. But there are people how buy way more then the rules allow and if they get stopped by customs they loose everything they bought and get a fine here in Denmark (a big one).
EU rules also allow VAT free shopping for up to 300€ from none-EU countires that have borders with it. I checked the rules some time ago.

Parents can hide abortion, contraception advice from kids, thanks to BT's SEX-ED web block
O2 UK is blocking everything on parental settings
It seems that O2 UK is blocking everything on the internet when "parental control" is selected. It includes my blog sites that are about nothing else then earthquakes and volcanoes, O2 UK own websites (why not) and BBC News website and more. I all I think about 99,9998% of the internet is blocked by O2 UK parental control filtering.
This is in my view nothing else then sneaking censorship into the back door. I thankfully live in a country (Denmark) where such things are not going to happen I hope. As for UK, they are already down the path of censorship in the name of saving the children who later grow up to be fucked up adults as an result of overprotection by the society.
Astroboffins spot HOT, YOUNG GIANT where she doesn't belong
Re: That's not going to happen
We don't have a clue what is in the Oort Cloud. But I am sure that the Oort cloud contains more then just icy comets and minor planets (Pluto sized). While I don't think there are any gas giants in the Oort cloud there might be ice giants and earth sized planet there. The problem is finding them, since out there it is pretty darn cold (around 3 Kelvin).

Vodafone Iceland Björked after Turkish hacker pinches passwords
It's worse then just sms
This leak is bigger then just all SMS from the year 2008-ish until the website was hacked in November. It also contains ID numbers of Icelanders how did place orders with Vodafone IS and more. The biggest story is the SMS leaking, but there is more to this. They also stored passwords unencrypted in the SQL database that did leak.
I had my old and inactive email leak in this leak since I have been doing business with Vodafone IS in the past. However nothing else did leak that I am aware of at the moment.
Undercover BBC man exposes Amazon worker drone's daily 11-mile trek
11 miles to km
So we have 11 miles walk each day. That is for the rest of the world (how uses metric) around 17 km. That is a lot of walking and that is a lot of strain on a person. Regardless if that person is in a good shape or not.
I also wonder if Amazon have not heard of an invention called the wheel. It would improve performance to just to add motorized carts for the employers to work with when they go and pick up orders.
While I have not worked in a warehouse (since none-existed where I used to live) I did do jobs that where just walking around and cutting grass. Total km over the day was different depending on the, but the longest was often up to around 20 km. But then I had to drag heavy bags and land-mowers all over the place to cut the grass.

What The Register can do is to contact pfs.is and ask for answers there. They are the monitoring body for Iceland communications and rules. They might provide some answers by asking Síminn the right questions that needs to be answered in this case.

Re: Class 1 A.I
@ toxicdragon
Thanks for the tip. This is just a bug in the list on my end. Consider it fixed. I just can't edit the comment above to fix it. This is also work in progress, since I do not have any clue what is coming our way in the next 50 years. So this classification system might need some re-write as things change.
Class 1 A.I
So Google now has an Class 1 A.I, maybe Class 2 if it is advanced enough. While this is currently no threat to human as is it is important to keep track on this since you only need Class 4 A.I to create havoc.
I have my own classification system, since the one currently in use is outdated and does not grasp the scope of A.I computers.
The basis is this. All A.I levels are able to learn something (maybe not Class 0) at some point and advance as such.
Class 0 A.I is dumb as a rock.
Class 1 A.I can tell cat from a tree, and a face from a road and so on. It can also beat you in computer games and such things. It can adjust it self within it's limit.
Class 2 Can organize colour after wavelength. Tune radio and monitor television signals and more.
Class 3 Can build stuff from the ground up. Blueprints and everything.
Class 4 Can control network flow, machines and learn to limited extent.
Class 5 Can make executive decisions. When it needs to and for any reason it wants.
Class 6 Can maintain it self without any human interaction.
Class 7 Is an terminator like robot and can build one if needed. Can control anything electronic when it feels like it. It is still bound by it programming to extent.
Class 8 Is smarter then a human being. Is no longer limited to it's programming or other computer like limitation.
Class 9 Can solve quantum problems and start nuclear wars.
Class 10 Can exist in a quantum matrix that it build it self.
Class 11 Is smarter then anything in the known universe.
Class 12 Is smarter then anything on Earth and probably in known universe. It should not exist like anything above Class 9 A.I should not exist by anywhere in the universe (it might, we don't have a clue what is out there).
Class 13 Should not exist. Is undefined as is.
While I am no neurological scientist. I have long since figured out that human I.Q is based up on layers of functions. This can also be done in computers to get human like function (with all it's flaws and issues). My definition list is just my own work.
Canadian teens cuffed over alleged Snapchat child sex pics ring
Child facing child pornography charges?
It is odd to let boys of same ages as the girls face charges like this. Since this is child on child, not adult against a child (that is illegal). While this might be something that parents need to discuss with there children. This is not a matter of law, cops and lawyers.
What I think happened is that someone got drunk with power and is now sending lawsuits to anyone with naked pictures of under-age girls, even if the person in question is an under-age boy or even a boyfriend of that girl.

SECRET draft copyright treaty LEAKED: Meet the Trans-Pacific Partnership
Re: Beep beep
They where actually worse then today's companies (so far, it might not get any better). For instance the East India Company ruled what is today's India, Pakistan and other countries. You can find details on Wikipedia under "Company rule in India". They also had there own set of laws, as do companies in the U.S today (and UK). Companies having there own laws is not so popular around the world today and never has been.
You can find laws related to East India Company on archive.org under "The law relating to India and the East-India Company; (1855)".
This restriction is because MPA and RIAA do not and have and do not want to have any understanding of technology. You can forget that this people want to understand the internet and how it works. All this people want and think about is greed and nothing else.

The function of a bubble is a strange thing. One thing is known for sure it is going to blow and collapse in on it self soon. The similarities between current bubble and the dot-com bubble are staggering. The only difference is that this bubble happens in a recession period and during low interest rates.
When this bubble blows is hard to know for sure, but it is going to be soon in my view.

The only thing this is going to affect me is that I won't be using Facebook, Twitter and such things. I expect Google, Apple and Microsoft to survive this (Google came into being after last bubble). But they won't be unaffected by this.

This carries the signs of new stock market bubble. As such it cannot end well. We all have to adjust to a world without Facebook and Twitter. When the bubble crashes the world for this companies is going to be really, really hard.

Digital radio may replace FM altogether - even though nobody wants it
DAB Radio is old and obsolete
If going by the Wikipedia on DAB. It is clear that the standard is outdated and obsolete. New standard needs to at least use mp4 audio technology or AAC+ as DAB+ (also obsolete by now). There is also problem with the spectrum. Currently DAB (and DAB+) is on the VHF-12 channel, that is around 230Mhz. It is difficult to receive that properly inside a house. While that is no issue with FM radio at 87,7 - 108Mhz.
Internet radio works better today than DAB radio (via wlan at least) and I am sure that is going to be new in house standard in the future (if not already). I am not sure for remote or travel radio yet how that is going to be resolved. That might just continue to use FM radio.
I live in Denmark and I am around 5 km away from next DAB transmitter (direct line). Yet I cannot get a good signal on it. At best I get around 70% signal with around 40% quality. That is no good and because of it I generally don't use DAB now. If I want to get good DAB signal I have to install VHF antenna for it and get me a radio that I can connect directly to a coax cable.
MEGA ASTEROID could 'BLOW UP EARTH' - Russian space boss
Re: During the meanwhile ...
The chance of winning the lottery is around 0,0000003% (small winnings) and winning the big price is around 0,000000020% at any given time (using flat normal lottery system with 10 lines in any game). The question is not how much is spent on the lottery ticket. It's an question if you are just using plain lottery ticket or mathematical ticket (more expensive but give extra numbers and lines in return that increase your chances to win).
It is possible to win the lottery using mathematics. What can't account for is the random factors of number alignment. By using mathematics you can increase your chances by several factors. I also have the rule (and it pays out as expected), the rule that you got more chance to win smaller amount than larger ones.

Boffins spot LONE PLANET roaming interstellar void
What is interesting is that this planet just formed 12 million years ago (from our point of view) and it's just 80 light years away. That means we are now seeing the planet as it was 80 years ago.
There are many more planets out there in my view, but they are really hard to find since they are cold and dark. I am sure with time the human race is going to be find a way to find this planets out there.

Techies with Asperger's? Yes, we are a little different...
I have aspergers and I can't get a job (last time I did try)
I have asperger's syndrome and I can't get a job, at least last time I did try. So I am now just working for my self and trying not to starve since I only got fixed welfare income from Iceland (and that is bad due to moronic economical situation in Iceland). I am trying to work as an writer (I enjoy writing) and make a living out of that (It's not going so good at the moment). I am also good with technology (most commercial stuff, PC computers, routers and such things).
I have tried to get a job in Denmark where I now live. But I am either not qualified or I just do not get any response when I apply for the job with an email (as appears to be common here in Denmark I think). I have problems with communications at times, but most days it works as it should work.

Re: Blighty takes the lead - for once
The thing about Switzerland is that they are not part of EU or EEA. That means they are outside this roaming agreement that is keeping the price down.

The only area that I know if that fits your description is Basel (or in that area).
