webOS cloud backups back online after nearly a week of downtime 20
After nearly a week of failing, webOS backups are back up and working. Sadly, that didn't come soon enough, as at least a few readers didn't see our warning not to Doctor unless absolutely necessary and were left with webOS devices on which they could not restore their old profile or create a new one. That's not a good position to be in when you have a webOS smartphone. It's one thing for a tablet – that's very rarely a necessary device. But a smartphone? Very few people carry multiple cellular devices, and when it's out of commission that's a very bad thing.
But fear not, for it appears that the backups are now back up and working. Yesterday morning there was a brief period of functionality, but by the afternoon things were down again. We've been checking throughout the day on multiple devices and today our backups have been entirely successful (or at least that's what the Backup app is telling us). We haven't received an official update from HP yet on the situation, but for all intents and purposes it appears that the webOS cloud system is back up and running.
You backups should resume automatically some time in the next 24 hours if they haven't already (webOS backs up once every 24 hours, so if your device's last attempt at a backup was while the servers were still down, it could take several hours before it tries again). If you're feeling antsy, you could always fire up the Backup app and hit that big Back Up Now button to log an immediate backup in the cloud. Either way, let's hope they got the wires permanently uncrossed and the servers back running in top shape. It's kind of important.

Can we get a browser update!
need it to open hotmail!
and load Gmail correctly!
add tabs. and allowing more cards to be open.
file manager! and a zip extractor program
that all I want really.
maybe also if amazon would update the kindle app so it won't crash
To access hotmail through the browser use https://www.hotmail.com rather than the usual http-request. You will get a notification that the browser is not supported, but it will work if you continue.
Looks like my Pre3 auto backed up at 7am PST this morning. (had also done this on the 4th at 10am but nothing yesterday)
Testing manual now. Manual backup complete! Need to activate my other TP now.
Good thing nobody was counting on them.
HP really needs to hire a consulting company to help them with software, hardware, cloud services and routers. Someone to teach them the basics. HP customers might find that kind of skill useful in their IT concerns.
I had to do a doubletake. I saw the time and date on the TouchPad and thought it was a screen shot from my TP. The time is different by a couple seconds. :-)
does this mean I will start seeing my events transfer between my HP Webos profile on my tablet & my Palm profile on my Sprint Pre2? My events weren't showing up on both devices unless it was Google & Exchange.
No raining on my parade from "the cloud".
Pre3 + Pocket Mirror + Outlook 2010. All sync'd up on my personal PC whenever I want, and it ain't none of Google's business(or whoever).
i had a successful backup on 4th, 5th & 6th. :-)
Can anyone tell me if there is a way to get the contacts on my pre2 to sync over to my touchpad without using a 3rd party contact manager like google? It doesn't appear that this is possible, which is kind of crazy because I thought one of the advantages of using a webos phone with the touchpad would be the ability to sync between devices. very annoying, approaching BS!
For me it works again since the weekend
A week!!
My last, probably manually induced, backup was at 20th of April — this year luckily. 8o/
Now everyone can stop freaking out about breaking out the emergency kit.
I have it ready, but I'm not as quick to pull the trigger as some people were on Twitter.
checked backup on my Veer everyday since this story surfaced
every day an auto back up occurred during the period in which "the cloud was down"
good to know I can stop this exercise
Actually, I did get that warning and thank you for that. I'm just glad that this cloud is back up and things are back to normal again.
Odd. I had successful backups on Sunday.
My Veer has dropped in and out of back up several times for the three months that I've owned it. HP never could've been a serious player in the cell/tablet market. Inexcusable.
Pre3 backup is ok. But Touchpad backup is still not running in Germany! Or is it my TP?
Should we expect other episodes like this in the future? I mean, is this one of the disadvantages of cloud computing? I wish people were warned ahead time before making the decision on network security.
Cisco cloud web secrity provides unparalleled protection and control of any organisation's email, and offers the cost-effective convenience of a Cloud deployment model.

Editorial: Embrace common goal - eliminate discharges from Lake Okeechobee into St. Lucie River, Indian River Lagoon
Reduce or eliminate?
It's an important distinction with respect to the discharges of freshwater from Lake Okeechobee into the St. Lucie River and Indian River Lagoon.
Our common goal must be to eliminate — not simply reduce — the discharges, which create havoc by lowering the salinity level in the estuary. Massive infusions of freshwater poison the normally brackish water, killing oysters and seagrass, causing algal blooms and lesions on fish, and raising coliform levels in the water to a point that's unsafe for humans.
Eliminating the discharges — as quickly as possible — must be the singular objective of local, state and federal officials.
Anything short of this is inadequate and unacceptable.
When Lt. Col. Tom Greco, head of the Army Corps of Engineers for Florida, met recently at Stuart City Hall with members of the Rivers Coalition, he outlined the Central Everglades Planning Project — a restoration project in the heart of the Everglades designed to move water south of Lake Okeechobee on publicly owned land. The CEPP, part of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan, was adopted in October 2011 by state and federal officials; a final plan is due by the end of the year.
Greco said the goal of the project is "to reduce the flow to the east (St. Lucie River) and west (Caloosahatchee River) and send more water to the south, to the central Everglades and to Everglades National Park, where it's needed."
The use of the word "reduce" elicited a predictable — and appropriate — response from members of the Rivers Coalition, a consortium of civic groups, homeowner associations and fishing clubs in Martin and St. Lucie counties.
"No water from Lake Okeechobee is of any benefit to the estuary," said Charles Grande, president of the Rivers Coalition Defense Fund. "We need to stop the discharges, not reduce them."
Greco then noted, "there is clear recognition (by the Corps) that CEPP is the first increment" in an overall plan to stop the discharges.
Let's hope so.
The Central Everglades Planning Project won't even start moving water south until 2024 — if in fact it is completed by then. The Corps has a spotty record with respect to starting — and completing — projects on time. For example, consider the C-44 reservoir and stormwater treatment project in western Martin County. Construction was supposed to begin in 2007, shortly after the official groundbreaking was held. It started in 2011.
Then there's the Ten Mile Creek project, the reservoir and stormwater treatment area west of Fort Pierce completed by the Corps in late 2005. The facility was designed to capture, retain and clean water from the creek before sending it downstream to the North Fork of the St. Lucie River.
However, the Ten Mile Creek project "has been in a passive operating state since 2009," according the Corps' website (www.tinyurl.com/bxazfy4). That's government-speak for "it remains offline." Why? The reservoir leaks.
The ultimate solution for the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee rivers and their respective watersheds is for the Corps and South Florida Water Management District to create a flow-way to move water south from Lake Okeechobee to the Everglades. We'll never get there unless all stakeholders embrace a common goal — eliminating, not reducing, the discharges.

ONEIDA, WI- Police say a man is in custody after a fatal shooting in Oneida. Authorities responded to a report of gunshots at around 2 a.m. Saturday morning outside of Benderz Bar on W. Service Road.
When police arrived at the scene they found a 24 year old who had been shot. He was then taken to St. Vincent's Hospital where he later died from his injuries.
UPDATE-- The 24-year-old victim has been identified as Kamewan Salzman of Oneida. 18-year old Alejandro Silva was arrested on first degree homicide charges. He is being held in the Outagamie County Jail.
The death remains under investigation and police won't say how the two knew each other or if there was some type of altercation before the shooting.
Both neighbors and police describe Benderz Bar as a quiet, typical neighborhood bar where fights and distrurbances rarely happen.
This is the first homicide in several years in Oneida, according to Police Chief Richard Van Boxtel. Van Boxtel says the community is not in any danger.
The Oneida Police and the Outagamie County Sheriff's Department continue to investigate the incident. They are looking for any other witnesses who were at the bar early Saturday morning to come forward with any information that might be related to the crime. Anyone with information can report it anonymously by calling Green Bay Area Crimestoppers at 920-432-7867 or online at 432stop.com.

With 83 percent of the precincts reporting, the measure is losing 64 percent to 36 percent (Yes, 322,185 and No, 571,540).
The measure was put forth by Sen. Rollie Heath (D-Boulder) and would have raised taxes to fund education. The state's sales and use tax rate would have gone from 2.9 percent to 3.0 percent, and the state's income tax would have gone from 4.63 percent to 5.0 percent. It would have helped to raise upwards of $500 to $600 million every year for five years.
Heath says it would have returned tax rates to what they were in 1999. The Independence Institute said Proposition 103 would, if passed, lead to a net loss of 7,000 to 11,000 jobs in the state.
Gov. John Hickenlooper (D-Colorado) did not endorse Proposition 103.

Test Subject: Matt Whitlock
Ability: Thought manipulation
Weakness: Shelley Young's sudden return--and the heartbreaking news of their four-year-old son's kidnapping
It had been five years since he'd last laid eyes on Shelley Young, but Colorado rancher Matt Whitlock would never forget the moment she'd left his ranch without a backward glance.
Now, with fear for his son's safety lying heavily in his heart, working together quickly became like old times--as did the rekindling of an attraction that had never really been extinguished. Following leads deep into the snowy mountains of South Dakota, Matt knew it was time to reveal the truth about his past...and its connection to bringing the little boy home.

There's no denying that DIY projects have taken the industry by storm.
Initially, the economic downturn was credited with the rise of do-it-yourself projects. But now, with the economy on the mend, owners are seeking out the projects not only to save money but also to experience a sense of achievement, enjoyment and individuality.
Research reveals that more people plan to buy a home than to rent in 2014, and 72 percent of those surveyed said they plan to tackle DIY home-improvement projects this year.
Homeowners don't have to look far for inspiration.
53 percent of homeowners agree that now is a good time to renovate their homes.
Popular shows on HGTV and the DIY Network encourage and teach; social networks, such as Pinterest, are rife with large, beautiful pictures to spark creativity; and enthusiastic new bloggers are cropping up daily, with step-by-step guides on how to personalize home projects.
According to a recent report, 53 percent of homeowners agree that now is a good time to renovate their homes.
And while many people may argue that it's still best to leave certain jobs to the professionals, it's inevitable that you'll encounter a number of very brave, very determined customers who want to take a chance on doing their own home improvements. Your job is to make it as easy and as safe as possible.
When you visit the National Hardware Show® this year, be sure to take in the thousands of products available that will help make any home-improvement journey a successful one. Plus, don't miss an appearance from the Property Brothers, who have had such an impact on homeowners' motivations to renovate, remodel, and DIY. You can visit Industry Edge for a preview of what you'll see at the Las Vegas show.

It is widely known that nature sometimes creates the most spectacular sights in places where rarely anyone would think to look – in caves. Chile is famous for the extremely beautiful marble caves, where water reflects the crystallized minerals in spectacular colours. Here is one of those caves!

The Ebira is an ultralight fishing system for Tenkara fly rods. The "quiver" holds your tenkara rod on your back while a side pocket that can be accessed without taking off the Ebira allows you to carry your fly box, tippet, and other tackle. Here's a quick video overview. More videos to follow: http://backpackflyfishing.com/blog/2010/07/18/the-ebira-rod-quiver/
Edited by jasonklass on 07/19/2010 17:42:57 MDT.
Just got mine. Thats some fast shipping Jason. I got 3 days off right at the beginning of Aug. just set aside for some backpacking and fly fishing. But I think Im gonna have to go up this weekend though for a quick 24 hour trip and some tenkara. Thanks Thom and Jason
Hi Andy,I'm glad you got it so fast. PLEASE post pics and let us know how you like it. I'm taking my Ebira and Iwana out this weekend for some much overdue Tenkara time.
Hi Jason,Will the larger size Ebira work good with the smaller Hane rod? Or would it be difficult to deploy?I've got both the Hane and Ayu rods, and it would be nice to get just one Ebira. Or alternatively, since it's modular, will you be selling the component parts separately?Thanks!
Thanks for posting and sharing the video Jason. This is an exciting addition for Tenkara users, especially UL backpacking Tenkara rod users. The stock Tenkara USA tube and sleeve is nice for storing but not the most ideal for throwing into a pack for trips. I think the beauty to be had in the Ebira is the simplicity, hopefully this design compliments the simplicity of Tenkara fishing. From your video it sure looks quite intuitive. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on one and getting out in the next couple weeks.
Hi Daniel,For optimal performance in the field the Ebira should be selected that is designed for the specific rod used, the 22.5" Ebira for tenkara rods and 18.5" Ebira for the BPL Hane rod. Having said this it is passable to use one Ebira for both the tenkara rods and the Hane. If using the Hane with the longer 22.5" Ebira extraction will require more effort (and time), if using a longer tenkara rod with the 18.5" Hane specific Ebira the rod tip will protrude past the sleeve closure by a few inches. Neither is ideal but with either scenario the Ebira will function for the intended purpose, that of a rod quiver.
Thanks Jason.One further question: Since the Ebira is a modular design (quiver/pouch) is there any plan to sell the components separately? I suspect there might be many individuals who have both size tenkara rods and would need two quivers but only one pouch. Thanks!
Edited by DanG on 07/22/2010 08:47:02 MDT.
Daniel,Offering Ebira components separately may be considered in the near future. My focus currently is working to anticipate and meet early production demands.Thom DarrahTrailLite Designs
Sounds good.Good luck with the venture!
Well I didn't get to go out this past weekend but only made it out in a boat and went for some panfish with my father. My initial review is an A. I will have an in depth review this time next week.
Andy,Thanks for posting your initial rating, I look forward to reading your complete review.ThomTrailLite Designs
Hi Andy,That's great to hear. I look forward to your review!
I ordered one last night to go with the Tenkara Iwana that I also ordered... now I just have to figure out how to actually USE this stuff. :)
Rakesh,If you need any help with setting up the Ebira please feel free to contact me. ThomTrailLite Designs
"If you need any help with setting up the Ebira please feel free to contact me."Will do... thanks!I suspect however that the biggest obstacle I will face in learning to catch fish Tenkara-style is going to be whole business of re-painting my condo, selling it, and moving.

My first voting experience was the presidential election of 1988…and I was three years old. My daycare provider brought me, my infant brother, and her young daughter to the polls and a photographer from my hometown's newspaper snapped a photo of us. I was not even tall enough to be concealed by the privacy curtain and was looking up in awe, probably mesmerized by the curtain and the lever. (My mom saved the photo, but alas could not find it in time for this blog.)
Since that first time, now being of age to actually vote, I've performed my democratic privilege and duty three times—via gear and lever machine, absentee ballot, and paper ballot machine. However, I don't think I've been awed by how I was voting, as opposed to the meaning behind my vote, since that first time as a toddler.
But I've been thinking a lot about the technology I've voted with recently because this year's New Perspectives on Invention and Innovation symposium, "Political Machines," is examining the technology that has been used—and will be used—during campaigns and elections. (Though I actually had to call the DC Board of Elections and Ethics because I couldn't remember how I voted in 2008. I was just excited to be voting in person for president for the first time!)
As you might imagine, the National Museum of American History has wonderful collections documenting the history of voting. In fact, an exhibition titled Vote! The Machinery of Democracy was on view between June 2004 and February 2005. Fortunately, that exhibition is still available online. Here I've pulled out just a few of the voting technologies and machines that Vote! explores.

If you can't find any kind of black rice, substitute brown rice (not quick-cooking) it will result in a thicker, light-colored pudding but will still be delicious.
YIELD: Makes 8 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 10 min
TOTAL TIME: 2 hr (includes cooling)
- 1 cup black rice
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 (13 1/2- to 15-oz) can unsweetened coconut milk, stirred well
Bring rice, 3 cups water, and 1/4 teaspoon salt to a boil in a 3- to 4-quart heavy saucepan, then reduce heat to low and simmer, covered with a tight-fitting lid, 45 minutes (rice will be cooked but still wet). Stir in sugar, a scant 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1 1/2 cups coconut milk and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to low and simmer, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until mixture is thick and rice is tender but still slightly chewy, about 30 minutes.
Remove from heat and cool to warm or room temperature, stirring occasionally, at least 30 minutes. Just before serving, stir pudding and divide among 8 bowls. Stir remaining coconut milk and drizzle over pudding.
Cooks' note: Rice pudding keeps, covered and chilled, 5 days.

I'm using a Metropolis sampler to approximate the joint probability of the data likelihood and a Gaussian prior over the parameters p(X|theta)p(theta). When I use a fake prior that is always equal to 1, the algorithm behaves as I would expect by initially finding some mode of high probability and wandering around in that area. However, when I add the prior, I find that the objective goes down systematically after a while. Every time the sampler makes a step, all the new proposals are of lower probability and it rejects most of them until one is just a bit lower. This goes on until the algorithm starts behaving more like a random walk again in a region of quite low probability...
This seems very odd to me as the sampler should have an equal probability to choose to go back in the direction of higher probability it just came from (I'm using a spherical Gaussian to generate proposals). I'm quite sure the sampling algorithm is correct as it worked well for a variety of tasks where I didn't include the prior. Even if the prior would be flattening the joint distribution a lot, I would still expect random walk behavior and not the systematic decrease I find now. Could this be due to numerical issues, high dimensionality or is this possible for certain peculiar types of distributions?

Are you including the prior in the computation of the likelihood that you use for the metropolis step? I've had a similar bug in the past and it was due to inconsistent use of the priors.
Does this still happen with less data? It sounds like something that shouldn't happen unless you're using a very bad proposal distribution that never proposes something in a good direction. Can you try stopping the simulation, proposing a better step and seeing how often it's accepted/its probability?
(Dec 30 '10 at 20:33) Alexandre Passos ♦
Thanks for the help.
I'm indeed including the prior in the computation of the likelihood that I use for the metropolis step by simply adding the log of it. Is this wrong somehow?
The problem seems to be independent of the number of datapoints which I varied between 50 and 4000... I'm not really sure how to try your suggestion of using a better step manually. When I print the probabilities of accepting new steps, it is 1 when the new likelihood is higher and less than one when it is lower like it should be but somehow the proposals are almost always lower than the current value. They are also not that much lower but just a bit so they are easily accepted. After accepting one of these lower probability steps all the new proposals are immediately slightly lower than the value that has just been accepted. The acceptance rate seems to be lower in the beginning than later on. This seems odd as well because I'm more used to the opposite pattern (needing big steps for burn-in and smaller ones when sampling after convergence).
(Dec 31 '10 at 06:30) Philemon Brakel
That's interesting. So if the acceptance is right (1 with higher likelihood, smaller as the likelihood goes down), the problem can only be in your proposal distribution. Is it symmetrical? Is there a bug in computing it?
(Dec 31 '10 at 06:33) Alexandre Passos ♦
The proposal distribution is a spherical Gaussian that is centered on the last accepted sample. I'm using a standard implementation from python's numpy for this. I printed separate scores for the data likelihood and the prior and noticed that the data likelihood always goes up until some sort of mode is reached while the prior likelihood always goes down very slowly. This causes the total likelihood to go up first but than go systematically down forever after the data likelihood maxed out. I'm starting to suspect the function that computes the prior likelihood. It seems to work well for two dimensions though and even if it was unstable I wouldn't expect it to be so systematic that Metropolis can't cope with it... I'll try some simpler (spherical) priors to see if that is where the problem comes from.
You were talking about having a similar problem due to inconsistent priors and I start to think this might indeed also be what causes the strange results I'm finding now.
(Dec 31 '10 at 09:05) Philemon Brakel
I got convinced that the whole thing is simply due to an interaction of the high dimensionality of the problem I'm trying to solve and the strong differences in probability density at some regions. The bottom line seems to be that near a center of high density (for example the mean of a Gaussian), the set of directions that move to higher density is a lot smaller than the set of directions that keep the density equal or decrease it.
While I didn't do the math, I think it makes sense that given a spherical Gaussian proposal distribution and another spherical Gaussian we wish to sample from, the set of 'good' directions is approximated by the intersection of the two hyper spheres that you get if you take the distance between the current point and the mean of the target distribution as the radius of the first sphere and some value that is proportional to the variance of the proposal distribution as the radius of the second sphere. Now if the two spheres are very far apart, the first one will be very large and almost cut the smaller proposal sphere exactly in half using an almost flat hyperplane. In this case almost 50% of the proposals will be 'good'. When the spheres are near each other (so the differences in density become larger), the first sphere will be smaller and the intersecting volume will be smaller as well due to the curvature of the first sphere. My intuition is now that this volume becomes very small compared to the rest of the proposal sphere when the dimensionality increases in areas where the density gradient is large. This would mean that if you start near a mode of the distribution, the chances of finding high density directions are a lot smaller than accepting nearby points with slightly lower density once in a while until one has moved away so far that the gradient becomes smaller and chances of finding 'good' directions have increased again. This somehow fits with the fact that most of the probability mass of a high dimensional Gaussian is located at its 'edges' and not its center.
I'm curious if that made sense at all to anyone but for the moment I consider my problem solved. It seems I just need a lot of samples to compensate for this effect...

I'm not entirely convinced because if the proposal distribution is symmetric and you've moved to a zone of low probability then you should have more probability to move back. The thing you mentioned about the likelihood staying high but the prior going down suggests that somehow your sampler is ignoring the prior when accepting proposals (otherwise it should be just as likely for the likelihood to go down and the prior to go up).
On the other hand it is normal for a sampler to leave a zone of high probability and get lost if, as you described, it is very small, and its probability is not that higher than that of the surrounding area (if the space is like a twisty valley that's not very steep then it's easy to see, as you mentioned, that almost always all proposals are just a little bit worse than the place you came from).
(Jan 02 '11 at 05:43) Alexandre Passos ♦
Thanks for thinking along again. Some additional thing I noticed where that after sampling for long enough the prior stops going down systematically and remains sort of stable. Of course my explanation above is a form of backwards reasoning so I should remain a bit skeptical... Since I'm immediately adding the data and prior likelihoods after computing them and treat them as a single score after that, I think the fact that they behave differently has to be caused by some properties about the shape of the distributions. I guess it is also useful to know that I'm starting to sample almost at the maximum of the prior (the zero vector in my case) and at a lower density area of the data likelihood. The behavior looked more normal when I started at some place of low probability for both types of likelihood.

If we can seize the opportunity a hung parliament offers, to deliver proportional representation and party-funding reform, says George Monbiot, we will change politics in the UK for ever.
Any party arrangement for governing Britain must involve a referendum on PR, and Nick Clegg should not be seduced by the trappings of power, says new Green MP Caroline Lucas.
The Scottish National Party and Plaid Cymru are calling for a 'progressive alliance' government for Britain, involving themselves, Labour and the Liberal Democrats.
If the churches want democracy renewed, a broader political agenda and a voice for the voiceless, says Jonathan Bartley, they must make the case for PR and they must do it right now.
On the day after the morning after the night before, the only certainty is that Britain's electoral map is in an entirely unprecedented condition.
Thousands of people have taken to the streets this afternoon, to demand 'fair votes now' after the General Election. In London, they were addressed by Lib Dem leader Nick Clegg.
It is estimated that some 22 million votes cast in the UK General Election will have no direct bearing on the outcome. A 'Take Back Parliament' fair votes campaign was launched last night.
Democracy campaigners are urging the public to refuse to give in to the big two parties, and to vote instead for a 'hung parliament' and radical political and voting reform.
The 2010 General Election campaign has been more volatile and interesting than anyone could have predicted, and the outcome now sits on a knife-edge, says Simon Barrow. But whichever way it goes, there is an opportunity for genuine, ground-up, civic based change. We must not ignore or miss it.

(May 22, 2012) It was reported on May 18, 2012, that, based on the 2012 budget agreement called the Spring Accord, reached three weeks ago by a coalition of five Dutch political parties, the retirement age in the Netherlands will rise by one-month increases in 2013 and 2014. This will be followed by two-month increases per year until the pensionable age becomes 66 in 2019; then in 2023 it will become 67. (Dutch Pensionable AgeWill Hit 67 in 2023, RADIO NETHERLANDS WORLDWIDE (May 17, 2012); Gilbert Kreijger & Anthony Deutsch, Dutch Parties Avert Crisis with 2013 Budget Deal, REUTERS (Apr. 26, 2012); see also Wendy Zeldin, Netherlands: Retirement Age to Rise, GLOBAL LEGAL MONITOR (Dec. 7, 2009).)
The official retirement age in the Netherlands is currently 65. According to Statistics Netherlands, in 2011 the average age of retirement was over 63; between 2000 and 2006, workers on average retired at 61. (Leen Preesman, Statistics Netherlands Reveals Jump in Retirement Age for Dutch Workers, INVESTMENT & PENSIONS EUROPE (Jan. 17, 2012).)
The retirement provisions in the Spring Accord unravel the hard-fought agreement that the Cabinet had reached with the unions, which had provided for a retirement age of 66 in 2020, to reach 67 in 2025. In the view of Agnes Jongerius, chairperson of FNV, the largest Dutch union, "[i]t's even worse than we had originally thought. It's not only the rapidity of the rise of the pensionable age but the uncertainty this creates for people who have taken early retirement and those who have almost reached retirement age." (Id.)
The lead article in almost all the Dutch newspapers on May 18 was on the 2013 budget, which "comprises a raft of reforms and cutbacks, and is designed to reduce the 2013 budget deficit to three percent of GDP, the limit set by the European Union." (Dutch Press Review Friday 18 May 2012, RADIO NETHERLANDS WORLDWIDE (May 18, 2012).) According to De Telegraaf, for example, the "drastic measures" will have the most impact on working people, and while the package earmarks €4 billion (about US$5.1 billion) to alleviate hardship, there will be "more than 12.2 billion euros of pain left." (Id.) De Volkskrant, focusing on the political fallout of the Spring Accord, argues that the upcoming September 12 election "will be fought on the accord" and "will see a whole new balance of power in Dutch politics." (Id.) The final 2013 budget will be presented one week after the elections. (Robin van Daalen & Vanessa Mock, UPDATE: Dutch Agree in Principle on 2013 Budget; Hurdles Remain, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL (Apr. 26, 2012).)

Stock rally continues on jobless report
NEW YORK — The Dow pushed further into record territory on Thursday, having surpassed its previous all-time high two days ago. The catalyst was the latest evidence that hiring is picking up.
Stocks started higher after the Labor Department reported that the number of Americans seeking unemployment aid fell by 7,000 last week, driving the four-week average to its lowest in five years. The drop is a positive sign ahead of Friday's employment report.
The Dow Jones industrial average rose 33.25 points, or 0.2 percent, to 14,329.49. The Standard & Poor's 500 gained 2.80 points, or 0.2 percent, to 1,544.26. Both indexes rose for the fifth day straight.
The Dow barreled through a record high Tuesday and has added to its gains since then. The S&P 500 is closing in on its own record high of 1,565, which was also reached on Oct. 9, 2007, the same day of the Dow's previous peak. The S&P would need to rise 21 points, or 1.3 percent, to set a record.
Investors have been buying stocks on optimism that employers are slowly starting to hire again and that the housing market is recovering. Growing company earnings are also encouraging investors to get into the market. The Dow is 9.4 percent higher this year and the broader S&P 500 is up 8.3 percent.

'Nevermind' the Covers: 13 Nirvana Odes
More than 20 years after "grunge" became more than a synonym for dirt, learning a Nirvana cover remains rite of passage for young rock bands and rock veterans alike. Remembering frontman Kurt Cobain on what would have been his 46th birthday today (February 20), we present a stellar cover of each track off Nirvana's crowning jewel, 1991's "Nevermind." Patti Smith, Weezer, Animal Collective, Muse and Seether take a stab, among others.
Q&A: Nirvana's Krist Novoselic on 20 Years of 'Nevermind'
"Smells Like Teen Spirit," Patti Smith
Tori Amos was one of the first, presenting a 1992 cover that Kurt Cobain called "a great breakfast cereal version." The Melvins and former teen idol Leif Garrett tackled the song, oddly enough, with a ferocity matched only by the original. Weird Al took a stab, along with hundreds of other acts, including Miley Cyrus and certain "American Idol" contestants. But which cover of "Smells Like Teen Spirit" is the greatest? We must tip our hats to Ms. Patti Smith, a rock'n'roll poet with as complicated emotions toward fame as Cobain himself. In 2007, Smith gave "Teen Spirit" a banjo and fiddle treatment for a jangly little tribute on her cover album, "Twelve." She even added a bit of her own poetry into the classic track. Fitting.
While it's tough to trump Patti Smith's cover, if anyone was going to do it, underground L.A. hip-hop duo J*DaVeY might be the fiercest contenders. Featuring the sweet crooning of Miss Jack Davey, this "Teen Spirit" cover blows us away, despite its low profile. Listen below.
"In Bloom," Deer Tick
If there were Nirvana cover band awards, Deervana -- the tragically short-lived party project of alt-country act Deer Tick -- would win the award for truest to form. The group, who performed full-blown sets at SXSW 2011 and at NYC's Northside Festival in June 2011, spared no ounce of effort as they destroyed guitars, drumheads and the like promptly following the set that spawned this "In Bloom" cover.
"Come As You Are," Yuna
One has to appreciate a musician who can take a song originally driven by raging electric guitar and turn it into something delicately beautiful. Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna does just that with her recent electro-pop cover of "Come As You Are," complete with a stunning accompanying clip.
"Breed," Weezer
In the late 1990s, Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo created something called "The Encyclopedia of Pop," a binder in which he picked apart the mechanics of pop songs that caught his fancy. One of the main bands featured happened to be Nirvana, an act Cuomo has cited numerous times as an influence. At a Los Angeles show in 1998, Cuomo and co. -- playing under the alias of faux metal band Goat Punishment -- finally paid tribute to Nirvana with a cover set, including a nearly identical cover of "Breed."
"Lithium," Polyphonic Spree
Colorful indie-pop collective the Polyphonic Spree took Nirvana's "Lithium" to joyous heights unsung by Kurt and co. Harp, piano, brass, strings and what sounds like hundreds of voices join in for a high-energy take on the third single from "Nevermind." The quiet-loud dynamic remains, as does Novoselic's haunting baseline, but the attitude leans more toward "happy chaos" than "search and destroy."

HOUSTON, Oct. 21 -- BlackRock Ventures Inc., Calgary, has received environmental and Alberta Energy and Utilities Board approvals to develop the company's 20,000 b/d Orion steam-assisted gravity drainage (SAGD) property as a commercial oil sands project at Hilda Lake in Alberta.
BlackRock, 100% owner of the property, has recovered 1.2 million bbl of oil operating a pilot at Hilda Lake for more than 7 years. Orion has the potential to recover as much as 190 million bbl of oil during a 25-year project life, BlackRock said.
The company will seek board of directors approval in November to begin the $10 million detailed engineering for the commercial project. Phase I is expected to cost $150 million and produce 10,000 b/d of oil.

Pitt basketball notebook: Dixon anticipates many more trips to 'MSG'
ACC Videos
Few college basketball programs have a home away from home like Pitt does with Madison Square Garden.
Leaving the Big East for the ACC means Pitt will see less of the world's most famous arena, but coach Jamie Dixon insists the Panthers will remain frequent visitors.
Pitt plays No. 4 Michigan at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday at 9:30 p.m.
"Things happen, things change," Dixon said. "We always want to play there every year. It's good for us. We don't have as many guys from New York. But we have enough."
Many of the notable Pitt players during the past decade – Carl Krauser, Levance Fields and Chris Taft, to name a few – have come from New York City. Dixon wants to maintain his ability to recruit in New York, even though it will play many of its future high profile games south of the Mason Dixon Line.
"We wouldn't be at the Garden if they didn't like having us there," Dixon said. "We bring in people there. It's a good thing for us, and something we want to continue for obvious reasons."
Pitt is 28-14 at Madison Square Garden under Dixon.
Going south
Dixon is pleased with his two newest recruits, point guard Josh Newkirk and forward McKeesport native Michael Young.
Newkirk, a highly touted player from Raleigh, wasn't prominently on Pitt's radar for a simple reason.
"He was a guy we knew about," Dixon said. "We just thought Duke and North Carolina were going to be there at the end of the day. And to be honest, they didn't offer."
Duke and North Carolina had already received commitments from other point guards, leaving the door open for Pitt.
Dixon was pleased to land a strong recruit from the heart of ACC Country.
"We have to go in other people's backyards and find the right guy," Dixon said. "I think we got a good one. Not too many schools have made a living in recent years of going into warm weathered placing and bringing them to the north."
In the rearview mirror
Dixon remains pleased with his team's dramatic comeback victory against Oakland on Saturday. While he appreciated the character Pitt showed in roaring back from 18 points down, he remains disturbed by his team's performance in the first half against Oakland. He hopes it was merely an aberration.
"We've moved on," Dixon said. "How do you play so poorly in a half? That's really the question. But we did it."

Street Maintenance and Reconstruction Program
The City of Taylor continues to address the condition of streets in the city limits and how to maintain them. Over the years various methods have been tried but the ultimate hurdle is the cost to repair, rehabilitate, and maintain over 100 miles of city streets.
City Council Meeting Presentation, August 11, 2015
City Council received a presentation from Sledge Engineering regarding the Transportation User Fee. An updated fee schedule and category list has been developed not yet presented to City Council.
You can also view the original August 11th presentation here.
2nd Public Meeting August 25, 2015, 6 pm
City Council has asked the Committee to assist in educating the public on a method to fund the street program by creating a Transportation User Fee. The second meeting will also be held in the Council Chambers at City Hall so that it could be broadcast live as well as videotaped for viewing at a later date.
Street Maintenance and Reconstruction Committee 2014
In February, 2014, the City Council appointed a citizen committee to assist in exploring funding mechanisms and program options regarding a street maintenance program and to make recommendations concerning street reconstruction. Once a plan is in place this committee will also assist council in developing methods to educate the public and provide feedback as the process moves forward.
On January 8, 2015, the Committee presented a final report to the City Council.

Committee Agendas
Committee Members:
Ed Komandosky, Chair Dolores Garza, Vice Chair

Neighborhood Meetings
In an effort to get feedback from the community the Committee held meetings around the city during the month of July, 2014. Participants were encouraged to complete survey forms and the survey results were presented to City Council on August 28, 2014. Results included residents from nearly all the streets.
In 2012, Sledge Engineering, LLC provided a detailed analysis and inventory of the streets, curbs and gutters, and infrastructure. The results is a comprehensive report and map of current street conditions that now serves as a working document to address these issues.
Phase I Street Renovation Program
On April 25, 2013, City Council approved the Phase I Street Renovation Program (link includes a map and list of streets) at a cost of $5.4 million dollars. This first phase will resurface all streets in the Downtown Area, resurface all other streets citywide considered Fair and bring them up to Good, and rebuild 1st Street. While this represents a small section of the city, it was critical to Council to get the program started as they continue to develop a plan to fund the ongoing maintenance and rebuilding of the remaining streets throughout the city. On April 24, 2014 council awarded the contract to Ramming Paving for this project.

Keeping it in the family
Family matter...
Polls show Justin Trudeau is twice as popular as his nearest leadership rival. And he has yet to even announce his candidacy.
The Montreal-Papineau MP and eldest son of the late Prime Minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau is currently as popular as his father was at the same stage in his career. Hmmm?
The latest Harris-Decima survey has 33 percent of respondents saying they would vote Liberal if Trudeau was leader. That's twice as much as the Liberals have right now.
In second place is the very serious former astronaut Marc Garneau. In third is the usually less serious Denis Coderre, who might instead still run for the mayoralty of Montreal.
But surprise! We learn that Deborah Coyne, intimate friend of Papa Trudeau back in the 80s, after he had broken with Margaret, wants to run for the Liberal leadership.
Which means that Justin could face a woman who might have been his mother by second marriage.
Politics does take weird turns sometimes.
"Our families have always been very distinct and I have not spoken to Justin Trudeau," said Coyne.
Which means that because she and Pierre never married, Justin will never have to say, "Can I have your vote in the second round, Mom? »
Coyne said: "If two of us manage to be in the same leadership race, I do not see anything weird. I think it's wonderful."
It was during the constitutional wars of the 1980s that the relationship between Deborah Coyne and Pierre Trudeau flowered. Coyne, a constitutional specialist, was an influential figure who helped sink both the Meech and Charlottetown agreements, much to Pierre's approval.
Their friendship led in 1991 to the birth of a daughter, Sarah, who Papa Pierre eventually ended up accepting as his own. Today Sarah is at an American university, and fortunately, it seems she has no intention of running for the Liberal leadership.
Now that would be "a bit too much! »

Does anyone here speak Tamil?
Thats interesting, Yo!
I think there are atleast two persons who speak Tamil in this forum.
One is me, the other, I think, is siva.eas. (Going by his name Sivathanusan Easwaran)
Neengalum Tamizhara? Ulagathin entha paguthiyil vasikireergal?
(Translation : Are you a Tamilian too? Which part of the world do you live in?)
Character is who you are when no one is looking.
This is the language of Sounth India, I think.
I'm linguist and I've heard it before.
IPBLE: Increasing Performance By Lowering Expectations.
You are correct, krassi_holmz. To be precise, Tamilnadu of South India.
I think there are about 70 million people all over the world who speak, read and write the language.
Character is who you are when no one is looking.
Ganesh is right, I do speak Tamil. I come from Sri Lanka, which is to the south of Tamilnadu.

ITV 4 Cycling Show
Previous Forum topic
Next Forum topic
I chanced upon Eurosport's excellent coverage of Le Tour a few years back and became hooked and have found the Olympics enthralling.The new ITV show is interesting too, but to a newbe like me, sometimes baffling. Could they have an idiots guide section where terms, mechanics, rules etc are explained? Sorry if this post is in the wrong place, I am sure I will be re-directed if so!
Just a point from a drivers point of view, Please wear Hi Viz jackets when cycling! With dark nights on the way it is very difficult to see a dark bike, jacket and trousers. I do not want to flatten a future Brad.
I find the new one hour Cycle Show a big improvement on the half hour format they had previously. What is it you don't understand? It seems to be aimed mostly at a general audience.
On hi-viz, I don't and never will wear it. I use bright lights and reflectives when visibility is poor and, in my experience, when a driver says he didn't see you he didn't look. I had this the other day. It was broad daylight, I was wearing a white t-shirt and some idiot in a Range Rover drove straight across my path without looking. When I caught up with him he said that he didn't see me and that I should have been wearing hi-viz. I suggested he went to get his eyes tested.

First welcome to the wonderful and diverse world of cycling. I'm sure most folk in the forum will happily answer questions. If not there's plenty of info and mags out there. Must admit, you have set yourself up with the HiViz comment - me I don't wear it as it is a magnet for cars. Decent lights get me seen at night anyhow - off to find a hiviz big enough for the motor just to be on the safe side

Why not just use a search engine to find out the meanings behind the jargon? It works for most topics, including cycling.
As for mechanics, there's a video tutorial on Youtube for pretty much everything.

Thanks for all the comments. I will check the you tube etc for my info and if not satisfied, I'll call again.
With regard to the minefield of hi viz. I live on the outskirts of a town where there is little street lighting and what there is is often switched off. I suspect the people who I find difficulty in seeing are not the type who would consider themselves cyclists and use boards such as these,but use a bike just to get to work and for nothing else. They do not make any effort to wear anything to show or reflect light from behind and on a dark night against a hedge in the rain are very difficult to see, particularly if wearing a dark rucksack and there is no oncoming traffic to light the road or provide a silhouette.
posted by pedalo [3 posts]
21st August 2012 - 21:25
Oh well, if it's night, they should have lights. Hi viz is pretty useless, but I do wear a council-issued one, which seems official enough to encourage most drivers to give me more room. I've not been wearing it much in the recent heat, though.
So what was confusing or still needs a guide, then?

1 Using the template (right), trace and cut out one yellow daisy, one orange base flower, and three green leaves from the pieces of card. Gently score along the lines on the daisy shape where indicated.
2 Starting at the top and working all the way round the daisy, fold the petals inwards along the five diagonal scored lines.
3 Pinch each petal together along the six straight scored lines.
4 Starting at one side and working in a clockwise direction, gently press the petals down. They will fall to the side and overlap each other to close up the flower. This may require a little wiggling and gentle persuasion.
5 Open up the flower again and glue the daisy centre in place. Write a message on it, then glue the daisy to the orange base flower.
6 Score and crease each leaf approximately halfway along their spines. Glue the leaves between the yellow daisy and the orange base flower.
