Investment bank UBS and private equity funds have poured $3.4 million into
The Sydney-based company, a competitor to the Cabcharge network, allows consumers to call taxis using an app and pay for the ride. The company has also rolled out about 1000 payment terminals that allow drivers to take payments for rides not taken using a passenger's app.
The company said the new funding came from 14 investors including private equity fund Wilbow Group and unidentified Melbourne family investors, believed to be the Libermans, regarded as technology enthusiasts.
They join existing investors including MYOB co-founder Brad Shofer, Netus founders
It comes just months after ingogo raised $1 million in August, bringing total funding to $7.5 million and valuing the company at $25 million.
"We're looking at other areas we believe we can deploy the payment platform we built beyond the taxi market and there's a lot of things we want to do to keep building on the business," ingogo managing director
Despite lobbying from incumbent payment services, state governments have allowed smartphone-based alternatives to thrive, attracting investors.
A local rival to ingogo,
Mr Petrie, who previously founded online ticket booking site Moshtix, said he expected the company to break even early next year before the company lists.
Industry developing
Ingogo claims its app has been downloaded 70,000 times since it launched last year and Mr Petrie has previously said about 15 per cent of Sydney taxi drivers take bookings through the app.
The company takes the same 10 per cent booking fee for taxi rides as incumbent services, but pays 6 per cent of that fee as a rebate back to drivers.
"You're looking at an industry that hasn't been disrupted to date – newspapers, music and a range of other industries have. Up until this point, it hadn't really happened in the taxi environment," Mr Petrie said. "It's really the development of apps and mobile payments that's really brought that opportunity forward. You wouldn't have been able to do this three or four years ago because the technology wasn't right."
Though Victoria and NSW governments are contemplating regulations for the apps, it is expected rules that require taxi drivers to sign up to incumbent networks such as Cabcharge could be removed in coming years, providing greater incentive for drivers and passengers alike to take up the apps.
Former competition tsar
Adam Michell, an analyst at investment bank Moelis & Co who has forecast a steady decline in Cabcharge's earnings and profits, said he expected the existing near-monopoly on taxi payments would be replaced by several competitors.
"What you've seen with the payments business is independent operators moving in," he said. "It's like a lot of industries which have seen technology introduced, and you've got the incumbent, which is reliant on regulatory protection. That is no longer the case."

A MAN from East Yorkshire is set to take on the best town criers in the world at an international competition this summer.
Geoff Sheasby has been Pocklington's town crier since 2001, and is preparing to take part in the World Town Crier Championships in Chester this August.
Geoff, 64, will square up to 24 entrants from 10 countries around the world - including USA, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Holland, Wales, the Channel Islands and Ireland - in a week-long tournament for the title.
Geoff said: "It's an immense privilege to have been invited to participate in the world championships.
"It will be a fantastic experience.
Diane, my wife, will be in eighteenth-century costume accompanying and supporting me as my escort. It's undoubtedly my greatest challenge to date in the 14 years that I have been privileged to promote Pocklington as town crier and I will be fully psyched up for the contest."
The competition, which runs over several days in August, is made up of three cries to be judged by an independent panel. The first cry will be to extol the virtues of the crier's home town, but the remaining two have yet to be announced.
Geoff said the winning crier will simply not be the one who shouts the loudest: "We will be marked in these stages according to our performance.
"It is not simply bellowing - in fact if inaudibility is perceived through sheer volume, we will be marked down."
Geoff is also set to take part in the Royal Company of Town Criers British Championship in Banbury in September - a competition he hopes to attend as world champion.
He said: "I could say it keeps me off the streets but of course just the opposite is the case.
"I can assure the Pocklington populace that I will do my best to represent them to the utmost of my abilities. It is a massive privilege to be able to represent our wonderful town on both a global and national stage."

I love layering. I love the interaction of separate pieces coming together to create a unified outfit. I am most happy when I have at least three tops on (basic, top, outer) and the Canadian winters works well for this. But this doesn't just work for outfits, it works for jewelry too.
There is no straight answer in layering clothes or accessories. Despite countless magazine articles on this, there are no 'Ten Commandments' to achieving effortless classic style. What people say is 'intuitive' is, in reality, a lot of play and experimentation over the years.
I like to layer soft and textured fabrics (like soft cotton or silk paired with tweed or leather), accessorize with scarfs, sunglasses, handbags, boots and, of course, jewelry to finish off the outfit.
I have learnt that if you wear a layered bracelets, keep the necklace minimal. If you have a statement necklace or layered necklaces, keep the earrings and bracelet simple or bare. If you layer everything together, it will be too much - focus on one area!

No goals at Espanyol
Espanyol and Levante played out a goalless draw which suggested that neither of them will be in Europe next season.
Last Updated: 22/03/14 8:37pm
Espanyol and Levante played out a goalless draw which suggested that neither of them will be in Europe next season.
The pair could not be more mid-table and had both highlighted this as a game to win if a late run for a Europa League place was to materialise.
Neither was capable of getting a three-point haul, though, and despite an entertaining start, the reality dawned after the break.
The early exchanges were good, though, and the only surprise was that a goal did not arrive.
Sixty-two seconds were on the clock when Espanyol's Simao Sabrosa swung in a cross that found Hector Moreno and his bullet header was tipped away by Keylor Navas.
All the running was in Espanyol's legs and Luis Pizzi worked Navas as well, before David Lopez sent one over the bar from distance.
Navas had to be on his mettle again to keep out Sergio Garcia's close-ranger but, after failing to score with all that pressure, Espanyol went into their shell a little.
That allowed Levante to impose themselves on the game and, as half-time approached, Hector Rodas should have done better when presented with a chance from 12 yards.
Levante took confidence into the second half too and would have gone in front within a minute of the restart had Francisco Casilla not produced a wonder save to keep out David Barral's header.
Issam El Adoua was the next man to work Casilla - this time from range - before Espanyol responded through a blocked Simao effort.
Opportunities continued to present themselves and Victor Casadesus worked Navas, who then made a stunning stop to repel a Sergio Garcia header.
That would prove to be the last action of note, though.

Should this page be renamed "Starfish without Stick?" It's called "Starfish and Stick" when it's first introduced, yes, but just a few sentences later "and" is changed to "without", and our canon policy does say that the most recent name is considered canonical. ----Parodist (Send me an Owl) 18:09, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
- No, because the phrase "Starfish without stick" is a joke. It's not recommended, since without the stick, you would have nothing to hang onto. - Cavalier One(Wizarding Wireless Network) 21:13, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
- Argh. Well, now I feel thick. Ha. And all this time I thought I was some genius who had discovered an error in the editing. Okay then. Heh. ----Parodist (Send me an Owl) 21:21, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Those hoping for a "great rotation" from bonds to stocks might start by looking for smaller rotations within the equity market. James Mackintosh, investment editor, says the signs are far from uniformly supportive of the bigger rotation.
One extra chart, before the video: monthly total returns on the US benchmark 10-year Treasury bond per month. January saw a loss of 1.94 per cent, including coupon payments, which isn't great. But it is slightly less than last March's loss, or October 2011, and pales in comparison with some of the monthly losses in the past. As the chart shows, this is far from solid evidence of the bond bubble bursting. Read more

Climate models still see El Nino returning: Australia
Date: 20-Jun-12
Country: AUSTRALIA
Author: Colin Packham
Australia's Bureau of Meteorology said climate models it surveys continue to indicate a return of an El Nino weather pattern, often linked to heavy rainfall and droughts, later this year.
In its updated outlook, the bureau said the Pacific Ocean continues to warm, albeit still within the normal range, and its forecasts indicate this trend will continue, with conditions likely to approach or exceed the El Nino thresholds by the end of winter.
"When compared to April, the ocean has cooled slightly in the far eastern Pacific and along the west coast of South America. However, water along the coast of South America remains more than 2 degrees Celsius warmer than usual in areas," the bureau said.

With the constant bickering and back-and-forth going on in Washington, it is easy to understand why people are surprised when they learn of moments of compromise in Congress. No matter how many polarizing or divisive issues our nation may face, the bottom line remains that Congress still has a job to do--a job that is both expected and owed to the people. I'm proud to report we had a small victory this week toward getting something done.
This week brought good news for the folks of Richmond County and our state as a whole. With the passage of the McKinney Lake National Fish Hatchery Conveyance Act, legislation I introduced, we'll return ownership of a much-deserved fish hatchery in Hoffman back to the people of North Carolina. The McKinney Lake Hatchery grows catfish used to stock lakes and ponds across the state as part of the Community Fishing Program of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission.
You may wonder what business an otherwise small town fish hatchery has with the federal government, but this body of water and operation has been federally owned--yet run and maintained by the state--for more than a decade now. The people of this community, and our state, want their fish hatchery back. I'm a firm believer in both state and individual rights, especially when it's safely extracting something that benefits our North Carolina families out of the hands of the federal government.
Under full ownership of the state, the facility will have the additional freedom and flexibility to improve operations or expand, to ensure that our state continues to work towards successfully sustained fishery management. This operation is very important to the people of Hoffman, as well as folks across North Carolina.
This legislation received bipartisan support among the members of the North Carolina delegation in the House, where it passed unanimously. As for the next steps, I'm proud to have worked with Senator Richard Burr (R-NC) and Senator Kay Hagan (D-NC) to introduce a similar bill in the United States Senate, where I hope it will soon be brought to a vote. In coming together to work on this, regardless of political party or geography, it helps to identify the ways in which our elected officials can help keep North Carolina families working and keep our state great. This helps set a precedent for working together on bills that protect American Jobs, like my Textile Enforcement and Security Act and Buy American legislation that can bring manufacturing jobs back to our district.
I'm a firm believer that once we get folks talking and working together on seemingly small issues, we can finally get the big issues moving through Congress. We don't have another moment to waste.

BLACKBURN with Darwen borough is looking for two council taxpayers to help ensure elected representatives maintain high ethical standards.
Town hall bosses want residents who expect a lot from councillors and want to make sure they deliver.
They are seeking to recruit two independent members to the council's standards committee which aims to:
- Promote and maintain high standards of conduct by councillors and co-opted members of the council; and
- Determine whether a breach of the code of conduct for members has occurred.
Sian Roxborough, head of Legal Services, wants the recruits to make a positive contribution to enhancing councillors standards.
She added; "We welcome applicants who are not councillors or Council employees, are not close friends or relatives of councillors or Council employees and who have not, during the past five years, been councillors or Council employees."
Applications must be received by November 30, 2012.

"Happiness is conceivable only for those who enjoy themselves without thinking that they will always want more and thus be discontented, or for those who are content without thinking that they have no pleasure." --Marcellus Emants
With just two days of trading left in 2011, many market players are done for the year and the action is extremely thin and unstable. This morning the euro is hitting a fresh low for the year on a slightly weak Italian bond auction and that is sending precious metals down hard, but mild strength elsewhere is holding up the indices.
I'm not going to try to read much into the market at this point. It is too thin and random right now to be meaningful. In addition, the end-of-year games prevent us from having confidence that stocks will move on their individual merits. I call this a coin-flip market: you might be lucky and catch a move one way or the other, but it will be due to luck and not any great insight or skill.
If we step back, forget the end-of-year stuff and look at the big picture the failure of the S&P 500 to hold above the early December lows and aggressively attack the 1275 level is a bit troublesome. Now that we have been turned back, the risk that the downside could gains momentum is high. We have good support at the 50-day simple moving average at 1235 (the really key level is 1200, which is quite a ways down there), but it looks a bit slippery here. The fact that it is the end of the year just makes it more uncertain.
While it is a difficult time to do much trading, it is a good time to reflect on our performance this past year. What worked? What didn't? What changes might you make? No matter how well you might have done, it is impossible for the ambition trader to be content with the results.
In my mind, the most notable change in trading during 2011 was that a rigid technical, momentum approach, as illustrated by Investor's Business Daily, didn't work as well as it did in the past. Much greater flexibility was needed to deal with this market since so much of the action was macro driving and did not adhere to the conventional rules. Individual stock picking did not work well as stocks tended to move in a group as we danced to global news.
In addition to the high correlation between stocks, there were fewer chances to find good entry points because the focus on Europe caused much of the action to occur overnight. Typically, you had to anticipate gaps the next day to catch good-sized moves.
That style does not work well for momentum investors looking for confirmation of a trend before embracing it, and there really is no easy way to change that. You might try averaging in slowly using a contrarian approach, but a stylistic change like that can can't be made without a good amount of stress.
Another challenging aspect of trading this past year was the continued inclination toward low-volume, V-shaped moves. In January, March, May and October we had some sudden bouts of levitation. It was great if you just jumped in and rode the move but, typically, we went from oversold to overbought so quickly that the charts never really developed well, and once they did run for a bit it was on light volume and the momentum was not trustworthy.
The lesson is that if you want to catch a rally, you can't be too selective about technical setups. You needed to loosen your standards a bit to ride some of the moves. I'm not going to get into why this sort of action tended to occur right now, but it presented plenty of problems for pure technical, momentum traders, and I suspect it is one of the key reasons that so many hedge fund managers have done poorly this year.
The key in 2012 will be keeping an open mind and looking for styles and themes that work. Once everyone tends to see something, it no longer works as well, which means we always have to be pushing for the next big development.
I'll be reflecting more on this during the slow trading today and tomorrow. Even though I expect 2012 to be very challenging, I feel good about our ability to adapt and to find ways to profit as events unfold if we put forth the effort. As always, the great thing about the market is that opportunities will always exist. We just need to find ways to seize them.

Funniest Memes of the Week – Good Guy Gates, Success Kid, and More
Some exciting things occurred in the meme world this week, including internet users reacting to J.J.

This paper demonstrates some pedagogical strategies for developing Open Educational Resources (OERs) using the knowledge mapping tool Compendium. It also describes applications of Knowledge Maps to facilitate meaningful learning by focusing on specific OER examples. The study centres on the OpenLearn project, a large scale online environment that makes a selection of higher education learning resources freely available via the internet. OpenLearn, which is supported by William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, was launched in October 2006 and in the two year period of its existence has released over 8,100 learning hours of the OU's distance learning resources for free access and modification by learners and educators under the Creative Commons license. OpenLearn also offers three knowledge media tools: Compendium (knowledge mapping software), MSG (instant messaging application with geolocation maps) and FM (web-based video-conferencing application). Compendium is a software tool for visual thinking, used to connect ideas, concepts, arguments, websites and documents. There are numerous examples of OERs that have been developed and delivered by institutions across the world, for example, MIT, Rice, Utah State, Core, Paris Tech, JOCW. They present a wide variety of learning materials in terms of styles as well as differing subject content. Many such offerings are based upon original lecture notes, hand-outs and other related papers used in face-to-face teaching. Openlearn OERs, however, are reconstructed from original self study distance learning materials developed at the Open University and from a vast academic catalogue of materials. Samples of these "units" comprise a variety of formats: text, images, audio and video. In this study, our findings illustrate the benefits of sharing some OER content through knowledge maps, the possibility of condensing high volumes of information, accessing resources in a more attractive way, visualising connections between diverse learning materials, connecting new ideas to familiar references, organising thinking and gaining new insights into subject specific content.

text: Can anyone confirm that Prince really has stopped production of this racquet?? It strikes me as surprising, considering Sharapova has just won Wimbledon using the More Attack 920. I've been contemplating purchasing a couple of these racquets for the past two months now it seems I may be too late!! Also, anyone who has used, or currently has this racquet, i'd be interested to know your opinions. Many thanks. Paul.

The ACT Brumbies will ramp up contract negotiations this month as they begin a bold bid to keep their off-contract stars in Canberra. But the Super Rugby grand finalists will contend with a new Australian Rugby Union contract system, which looms as the biggest threat to the Brumbies' hopes of retaining their squad.
The Brumbies returned to training at the University of Canberra on Monday to start preparations for the Super Rugby season-opener on February 22.
The team's focus is firmly on beating the Queensland Reds in their first match.
But coach Stephen Larkham will start piecing together his squad for the future with five Wallabies searching for new deals and several Brumbies off contract at the end of the season.
The ARU is implementing a new contract structure, under which the ARU will determine how much Super Rugby players are worth and set the price for franchises.
It limits the bidding war between Australian teams but, with the Brumbies boasting a dozen Wallabies representatives, it will put extra pressure on their salary cap. In the past, Super Rugby and ARU deals have been negotiated separately.
Wallabies Scott Fardy, Matt Toomua, Christian Lealiifano, Scott Sio and Jesse Mogg will all be hoping for new contracts as well as a host of Super Rugby regulars.
Fardy was unfazed by the looming contract negotiations and reiterated his intention was to stay in Canberra.
The 29-year-old had his first sessions with the Brumbies on Monday after a breakout 2013 campaign, during which he made his Wallabies debut and played 10 Tests. Unknown two years ago, a bearded Fardy has a cult following and joked it was ''nice to be wanted for a change''.
''Nothing has changed, it's all just the same for me,'' Fardy said.
''It's nice to be wanted but I'm not too fussed. It's a long season and when things happen, they'll happen. I just want to take my time and do the right thing by everyone.
''I feel like I'm ready to go again and I was keen to get back to have a session with the boys.''
Wallabies trio Ben Alexander, Stephen Moore and Lealiifano are the only players who are not back on the field.
Alexander and Moore will return next week while Lealiifano is recovering from ankle surgery and will be out of action until March.
Skipper Ben Mowen is back at training despite playing almost every minute of every Super Rugby game and Test last season.
Director of rugby Laurie Fisher said there would be ''no mindless running'' in pre-season training.
The Brumbies will play their first trial match against the Otago Highlanders in Queenstown on January 31 but Wallabies players will be rested.
''Our progress will be rapid from here,'' Fisher said. ''Our game has scope for improvement - we're not looking to be too different in [2014] but we need a little more pace, power and accuracy.''
Fisher, who is also the Brumbies' forwards coach, said Fardy had met every challenge thrown at him since the ACT recruited him from Japan.
''I'm yet to see him [do] anything other [than] deliver a good performance … I don't see that being any different this year,'' Fisher said. ''He's a super important part of the Brumbies system and culture.
''We definitely want to keep him and we'll do everything we can to do that.''

The Russian super sleuth continues his stream of updates on a nearing 8.1 update and the release of Windows 9.
Maybe it's a good thing Microsoft is in a bit of chaos right now, because it's leakier than an 80-year-old man who drank a gallon of tea. WZor, the leaker with a track record dating back to the Vista days, has unleashed a bunch of dates that, if true, indicate a very busy year.
First up, he said Microsoft partners will be getting a pre-beta version of Windows Developer Preview 9 soon. He didn't have a precise date, but figured it would be after February 15, and he put the probability at 90%. The plan was to get it to partners before the Build conference in April.
Next, he said the first and only beta of Windows 9 will appear in May of this year, with one and only one Release Candidate coming at the end of August or the beginning of September. Bugs will be collected through the end of October and up November 15, if necessary. However, he thinks RTM will be around October 21-25 to get it ready for Christmas.
As for Windows 8.1, he and a second site both report Microsoft has compiled a second escrow build, which means no more features will be added - it's all about bug fixes before the final signoff. The release date is subject to debate. Some say April, others say it will be earlier.
The latter makes more sense. Windows 8 Update One, as it's formally known, is mostly tweaks to make the OS more keyboard- and mouse-friendly. If I were Microsoft, I'd want it out before the conference Build so the show can be all about Win9. Then again, Microsoft's party line is that Windows 9 is coming next year.
One thing I don't get, though, is a recent move where Microsoft extended the pre-install life of Windows 7 Professional past October 31. For a while, it was known that Microsoft would not sell Win7 preloaded on PCs after Halloween, but the company quietly changed this policy late last year.
So why would Microsoft create a situation where it is selling three operating systems? Because that's exactly the situation it will be in by the fourth quarter of this year if all the rumors hold up: Windows 7 Professional for businesses, Windows 8, and Windows 9.
The only reason I can see is that business users have spoken loudly, and their Windows 7 deployments will continue through Q4 and they need it. Windows 8 is a no-fly zone and Windows 9 would be too new and unproven. For consumers, Windows 9 will be just fine, fingers crossed.
So what's up with Windows 9? I hope to know this week.

The next generation of airborne weather radars won't just see the storms, they will remember what they have scanned and store that information in a computer database. By keeping a continuous record of radar returns ahead of the aircraft– culled from a series of quick "snapshots" taken at varying tilt angles and distances–the multiscan weather radars of tomorrow will greatly reduce workload and, for the first time, provide flight crews with three-dimensional views of storms and turbulence, according to radar makers.
Rockwell Collins and Honeywell recently introduced airborne weather radar systems that use the database storage and multiscanning techniques for the air-transport market, and both companies say versions for business aviation aren't far off. The keys to the Collins and Honeywell radars are their abilities to scan and store weather information in their databases and to eliminate ground clutter–automatically and, their developers claim, extremely effectively.
Both the Collins WXR-2100 multiscan radar and the Honeywell RDR-4000 display storm returns without the need for traditional tilt and gain inputs from pilots. But each achieves this goal in a different way. The key to the WXR-2100's operation, according to Collins, is the system's ability to look down toward the bottom of the reflectivity portion of a thunderstorm and eliminate ground clutter using digital signal processing techniques and patented computer algorithms. The Honeywell radar, on the other hand, uses the terrain database from the enhanced ground proximity warning system to judge where ground clutter should be removed from the radar picture.
Collins WXR-2100
Put the WXR-2100 in its fully automatic mode and pilots can be assured the weather information they are receiving is just as good as anything radar education guru Archie Trammell could coax out of a traditional radar system, Collins engineers claim. Besides simplifying crew training requirements, the WXR-2100's automatic mode reduces workload because the radar's computer, not the crew, sets the tilt and gain. All the pilots need to do is choose the range, which is claimed to be as much as 320 nm, and the radar's computer does the rest.
Traditional radar looks directly below the aircraft to detect storms and then follows the curvature of the earth out to the radar's maximum range. Conversely, multiscan radars emulate an ideal radar beam by merging information from different radar scans into a single weather picture. In the case of the WXR-2100, multiple antenna scans are performed, each optimized for a particular region in front of the aircraft (short-, medium- or long-range weather) by automatically adjusting tilt and gain. The computer merges the data into a digital picture, refines the image and eliminates ground clutter using suppression algorithms that take into account the earth's curvature.
Each multiscan cycle takes about eight seconds to complete in automatic mode and a little more than 11 seconds in wind-shear mode. The radar antenna makes a series of quick passes ahead of the aircraft, storing all the data it collects in memory. The advantage of storing a digital presentation of radar returns, say developers, is that as an aircraft moves along its route of flight or makes a turn, the image on the radar display can be rotated without the need for a new radar sweep. This frees the antenna to perform multiple functions while still displaying weather data stored in the computer's database.
The WXR-2100 also automatically adjusts weather detection parameters for variations caused by time of day, time of year and geographic position and uses "radar threshold" technologies to adjust the radar returns to more accurately display actual thunderstorm threats, according to Collins. The system also features so-called overflight protection, providing crews with the ability to avoid inadvertent penetration of thunderstorm tops, one of the leading causes of unexpected encounters with turbulence. A future enhancement to the system will include measurements of storm tops and information about storm cell development, Collins said.
Honeywell RDR-4000
Introduced last summer, the RDR-4000 employs what Honeywell calls "3-D volumetric scanning" to provide a more complete picture of the weather than traditional radar provides. Similar to the Collins multiscan radar, the RDR-4000 searches the sky from the ground to 60,000 feet, creating a three-dimensional database of information, which is analyzed by a computer. The RDR-4000 then provides a traditional picture of radar returns in addition to a vertical profile view of weather, showing a sideways-looking vertical "slice of weather." This "real-world view" can be aligned along the aircraft's current direction of flight, a specified direction off the nose or along the intended flight path entered in the FMS.
Another area where the RDR-4000 differentiates itself is in the way it eliminates ground clutter. Rather than using computer algorithms alone to determine which radar returns are the ground and which are weather, the RDR-4000 uses its internal EGPWS terrain database to ensure that only unwanted ground returns are eliminated from the display. Honeywell asserts this technique provides
a more accurate view of storms than systems that use computer filtering techniques alone.
Besides radar returns, the RDR-4000 can provide forward-looking wind-shear alerting with an antenna as small as 12 inches in diameter, half the diameter required by the current RDR-4B, Honeywell said. That's small enough for a wide range of business jets and should allow the introduction of the radar beyond airline service (Airbus selected the RDR-4000 for the A380) before long.
As with the Collins radar, users of the RDR-4000 can select fully automatic mode to reduce workload and avoid confusion. In this mode, the radar display shows only relevant weather, taking into account the route and climb/descent profiles entered in the FMS. Also, rather than adjusting antenna tilt angle to have the radar look downward or upward at a certain angle from the airplane, RDR-4000 users can select constant altitude mode to view weather at any given altitude.

NICOLE Kidman's Oscar campaign has received a major boost after scoring a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination.
Kidman was nominated for her sexed-up performance in The Paperboy but also for her role as war correspondent Martha Gelhorn in TV movie Hemingway & Gellhorn.
She will have plenty of mates at the January 27 SAG ceremony, with Naomi Watts and Hugh Jackman also receiving SAG nominations in Los Angeles.
The SAG Awards are one of the major pre-Oscar award ceremonies, with a nomination keeping Oscar campaigns alive, while SAG snubs can torpedo hopes.
Russell Crowe (Les Miserables), Toni Collette (Hitchcock) and Jacki Weaver (Silver Linings Playbook) were snubbed by SAG voters.
Jackman, for his leading performance in Les Miserables, is one of the frontrunners for the best acting Oscar and his SAG best actor nomination continues his journey to a possible Academy Award statuette.
Watts, for the tsunami survivor film The Impossible, is also a great shot at an Oscar nomination after winning over SAG voters.
Kidman's nomination for The Paperboy, based on Peter Dexter's book, was one of the big shocks of the SAG nomination ceremony as the Aussie redhead has received little crecognition for the role.
With Kidman also receiving the nod in the TV category for Hemingway & Gellhorn, her Oscar chances have received a major boost.
Kidman, Jackman, Watts, Crowe, Weaver and Collette have another chance to boost their Academy Award hopes on Friday (AEDT) when the Golden Globes nominations are announced - another major pre-Oscar bellwether.
The Oscar nominations will be revealed on January 10 while the Academy Awards ceremony is scheduled for February 24.
Along with Les Miserables, The Civil War saga Lincoln and comic drama Silver Linings Playbook boosted their Academy Awards prospects with four nominations apiece for the Screen Actors Guild Awards.
All three films were nominated for overall performance by their casts. Also nominated for best ensemble cast were the Iran hostage-crisis thriller Argo and the British retiree adventure The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
Directed by Steven Spielberg, Lincoln also scored individual nominations for Daniel Day-Lewis in the title role as best actor, Sally Field for supporting actress as Mary Todd Lincoln and Tommy Lee Jones for supporting actor as abolitionist firebrand Thaddeus Stevens.
Silver Linings Playbook, made by The Fighter director David O. Russell, also had lead-acting nominations for Bradley Cooper and Jennifer Lawrence as lost souls who find a second chance at love and Robert De Niro for supporting actor as a gridiron-obsessed dad.
Besides Watts and Lawrence, best-actress nominees are Jessica Chastain as a CIA analyst pursuing Osama bin Laden in Zero Dark Thirty; Marion Cotillard as a woman who finds romance after tragedy in Rust and Bone; Helen Mirren as Alfred Hitchcock's strong-willed wife in Hitchcock.
Joining Cooper, Day-Lewis and Jackman in the best-actor field are John Hawkes as a polio victim aiming to lose his virginity in The Sessions and Denzel Washington as a boozy airline pilot in Flight.
One of the year's most-acclaimed films, Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master, earned only one nomination, supporting actor for Philip Seymour Hoffman as a mesmerising cult leader. The film was snubbed on nominations for ensemble, lead actor Joaquin Phoenix and supporting actress Amy Adams.
Other individual performances overlooked by SAG voters include Anthony Hopkins in the title role of Hitchcock, Keira Knightley in the title role of Anna Karenina, Bill Murray as Franklin Roosevelt in Hyde Park on Hudson and Argo director Ben Affleck, who also starred in the film.
Actor Maggie Smith had four individual and ensemble nominations. Along with sharing the ensemble honor for Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Smith joined the cast of Downton Abbey among TV ensemble contenders and had nominations for supporting film actress as a cranky retiree in Marigold Hotel and TV drama actress for Downton Abbey.
Breaking Bad star Bryan Cranston had three overall nominations, as best actor in a TV drama for Breaking Bad, an ensemble honour for Breaking Bad and a film ensemble honour for Argo.
Along with Breaking Bad and Downton Abbey, best TV drama ensemble contenders are Boardwalk Empire, Homeland and Mad Men. TV comedy ensemble nominees are 30 Rock, The Big Bang Theory, Glee, Modern Family, Nurse Jackie and The Office.

A few colleagues are giving me a hard time about how little I blog these days. June is fresh on my mind, though (summer goes so quickly), so despite the evidence, I still think of myself as actively blogging.
The thing is, it's easy to blog daily, if you can find an extra 10-20 minutes, because the quantity lowers the bar on the quality level Every Single Post needs. If one post is a dud, there are others to make up for it. If you blog rarely, every blog post counts. It might be the last one left up over the course of a few months. And if it's on the front page of your site for a few months, it better be pretty darn compelling.
Maybe I need to set a goal of a weekly post or something.
Anyway. Today I attended Faculty Orientation at Virginia Tech. I've been here since February, but as many of you know, most faculty arrive in August, so that's when faculty orientation is. I actually love that kind of thing. I need the big picture of a place to function effectively. I like putting names and faces together. It's really useful to know what the faculty we work with are told when they come to the university. It was a really good morning.
In the course of it, I was struck by the similarities to my former institution. I wasn't as surprised by the differences, as those are often in the forefront of my mind. Both institutions have strong reputations nationally, and to some extent internationally. But both are not at the top of the list of their respective "competitors."
And as I thought about it I realized what a nice environment that makes to work in.
Room to innovate Institutions in this range appreciate innovation. There's a sense that the university could be more, and it will take creative thinking, new approaches, and intense focus on improvement (processes, student experience, etc) to achieve the level the university ought to attain. Innovation is celebrated, and innovators are really appreciated.
Can take risks I have often been struck by how colleagues at institutions with the most prestige in their respective categories talk about how the culture of the institution makes it hard to take risks. Things are already going so well at those places. An innovative act or a risk might mean losing prestige, and if the institution is already at a good place, it's difficult to make the ROI case for a risk. I've been fortunate to be at places that have some room for risk, and to be able to see the payoff of taking (responsible) ones.
Pride in the community There's a certain underdog spirit at institutions in this range. A sense of "we're all in it together" and it will take everyone to get where we're going. At a smaller institution that meant taking on roles that I had skills for that weren't traditionally part of library work (instructional design, introducing online learning, working with instructional technology, etc). At a larger institution with a more specific responsibility set, I find myself feeling responsible for using that to move the larger institution forward.
So, it's a fun place to find myself in again: a place that is steeped in tradition and is strong in its own right, yet is hungry to improve it's standing and embraces innovation and risk as a community. A wonderful end to "summer." Looking forward to Monday and the first day of classes it brings with it.

Glaciation has strongly shaped the New England landscape and blanketed it with diverse sediments that influence its hydrology, biology, and human development. The ice sheets of Greenland and Antarctica, themselves of significant societal concern, are remnants of ice sheets that formerly covered 30% of the earth's land surface. The course will introduce glaciers and the processes and products of glacier and cold-region erosion and deposition. The course will emphasize the development, form, and properties of New England glacial sediments but cover the global record. The glacial-geologic methods learned will be applied to on-going investigations of glacier and climate history around the planet.

A Colour Explosion in Rio
The scale and complexity of this project was bigger than anyone expected and taught the Tudo de cor para você team a lot about the project and themselves.
This community was the first of a huge urbanisation project in Brazil that was located near the beautiful Ipanema and Copacabana beaches. The Tudo de Cor Para Você project aimed to inspire people through the preservation and injection of colour that was given to the community's houses.
More than twenty of the youngsters who took part of the project were treated to a lesson in SENAI to thank them for all their hard work.
The activity of painting generates a change in people's habits and gives a feeling of proudness and ownership of the job at hand. Which the team hopes will stay with the people of Rio for many years.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 17/2/2014 (1278 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Winnipeg police have laid attempted-murder charges in two separate stabbings at North End homes over the last two days.
The first happened on Valentine's Day evening, when police say an intoxicated teenager and a young man were each assaulted during a party in the 700 block of Magnus Avenue.
The 15-year-old victim was physically assaulted first, after which the 19-year-old victim was stabbed seriously in the upper body after the attacker grabbed a knife, police said Sunday.
The stabbed man was rushed to hospital in critical condition and remains there in guarded condition, said Const. Jason Michalyshen.
A suspect was arrested following a short foot chase around 2:55 a.m. Saturday near Arlington Street and Magnus, said police.
Jonathan Catcheway, 25, faces allegations of attempted murder and assault causing bodily harm, said Michalyshen. He's being held at the Winnipeg Remand Centre. He was pending trial on a drug-related charge at the time of his arrest, said police.
Mere hours after Catcheway was arrested, general patrol officers rushed to a home in the 600 block of Pritchard Avenue where two women, 22 and 20, had been arguing.
When the older woman tried to leave, she was stopped, beaten and stabbed, police learned upon arrival. The victim managed to get away and was in hospital in stable condition on Sunday, said Michalyshen.
Layla Sinclair, 20, is accused of attempted murder, forceable confinement, possession of a weapon and breaching bail conditions.
Sinclair and the victim appear to have been friends, said Michalyshen.
Crown prosecutors were consulted prior to the laying of the attempted-murder charges in each of the cases, he said.
Crime data recently released by police show attempted murders are one of the only rising violent crime categories in Winnipeg of late.
Michalyshen said police and prosecutors look closely at the circumstances of the offence and the type of injuries before electing to charge a suspect with attempted murder, a very difficult charge to prove in court, as it requires proof beyond a reasonable doubt of intent to murder someone.
"What might have been said by the suspect or accused in relation to the assault itself" also plays a role when justice officials elect to lay the charge.
The offence carries with it a maximum sentence of life in prison. A mandatory minimum punishment of five years behind bars is imposed for a first offence if a gun was used in a proven attempted-murder case.

The stunning landscape of the Yorkshire Dales National Park would be dealt a severe blow if changes to planning laws are introduced, park authority chairman Peter Charlesworth claimed.
The Government's proposal to allow agricultural buildings like barns to be turned into homes without the need for full planning permission would apply to any barn anywhere in the national park, said Mr Charlesworth.
And that would cause 'irreversible harm' to the beautiful scenery, as well as adversely affecting local communities.
"This national park contains more barns than any other," he said.
"The Government proposals to relax the restrictions will have potentially disastrous consequences here – probably more than in any other area of England.
"About 4,000 of the barns in the national park are located away from farmsteads, out among fields in the open countryside. Valleys full of fields dotted with these stone field barns could be transformed into a semi-urban environment with roads and overhead power and phone lines. You would have gardens, cars, washing lines, greenhouses and everything else that goes with a home springing up in some of the most stunning countryside in England.
"There would be major disruption of the landscape to install infrastructure like sewer and water pipes – and the authority would be powerless to control it or to prevent it from happening."
However, the proposal has been welcomed by organisations such as Rural Futures and the Country, Land and Business Association (CLA).
John Welbank, rural planning specialist from Rural Futures, said: "These new rights finally open up the planning system for local businesses and communities to use existing buildings for viable economic purposes. It also has the added benefit of ensuring these historic buildings have an economically viable use that will ensure continued maintenance into the future."
CLA North regional director Dorothy Fairburn said: "New homes are urgently needed to keep communities in the countryside alive. Without this housing, we will lose the young people and services needed to keep rural areas economically viable.
"More retirement homes are also needed in rural areas so older people can pass on farm holdings to the next generation."

A senior member of both the House aviation subcommittee and Homeland Security Committee is urging the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) to re-open Washington, D.C.'s South Capitol Street Heliport (09W) to civilian traffic. In a letter late last year to TSA administrator John Pistole, U.S. Rep. Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) noted that 09W "remains closed nearly ten years after 9/11 except for use by law enforcement, military and medical evacuation traffic."
Norton said that the government's action amounted to "takeover of a private facility without compensation" despite "the willingness of the heliport to submit to whatever strictures and regulations the government chose to impose" on it.
The heliport is located one mile northeast of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and is currently home base to D.C. Metro Police's aviation unit. It opened in 1988 and at its apex had 41 regular corporate operators. After 9/11 and until 2005, limited commercial operations were allowed at 09W provided they complied with FAA Notams and TSA requirements; however, since then they have been prohibited.
Norton's objections were echoed in an earlier, and unsuccessful, lawsuit brought against the federal government by the heliport's operator between 1992 and 2002, Air Pegasus.
The U.S. Court of Claims dismissed the lawsuit, which charged the government with a de facto unlawful taking of property via regulation. The U.S. Court of Appeals upheld that ruling, noting that it is the government's right to control airspace, and that a private party's property rights do not extend to said airspace.
Norton is recommending that 09W be re-opened with security requirements for private aircraft that mirror those already in place at DCA, including nonstop flights only, designated gateway airports and heliports, and passenger and crew screening.

Globalscape reports fourth-quarter profit
Published 4:59 pm, Thursday, February 13, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — Data-security firm Globalscape Inc. said Thursday that it turned a profit in the last three months of 2013, though it was down from the same period the year before.
The San Antonio company earned a $655,000 profit on $6.2 million in total revenue, from October through December.
Globalscape generated $1.3 million in net income in the last quarter of 2012. However, that quarter included $1.3 million in income generated from the elimination for an earnout liability that was not earned.
For the entire year, the company made a $3.8 million profit on $24.3 million in revenue. That's an improvement from 2012, when the company lost $1.8 million on $23.3 million in revenue.

"Our continued revenue growth and strong cash flow performance demonstrates the strength of our solution portfolio," said James Bindseil, president and CEO of Globalscape, in a statement.

Dickinson stole the show before the band even went on with this amazing flight that includes footage from Bruce's perspective and the music is set to Maiden's song 'Paschendale.'

Generation Zero supports foresters' demands to fix ETS
27 September 2012
Youth organisation Generation Zero has endorsed the call from foresters and the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment for the Government to limit the use of international carbon units in the Emissions Trading Scheme.
Forestry sector leaders yesterday released an open letter to Prime Minister John Key warning that the planned changes to the ETS will be "a farce and a costly and environmentally damaging mistake", and calling for the Government to follow international best practice and introduce a cap on the number of international units a firm may surrender.
As recently as May the Government was signalling its intention to limit international units, but it has since backed down, despite carbon prices crashing further to new lows of less than $4/tonne.
Paul Young, Generation Zero's policy coordinator, said:
"National's ETS has never looked capable of delivering meaningful emissions reductions, but as originally planned it would at least stimulate some tree planting and protect the taxpayer from having to foot the bill for New Zealand exceeding its emissions targets. If these changes go ahead it will not even achieve that.
"Carbon prices have crashed as the market is currently flooded with cheap 'offset' units that in all likelihood don't represent genuine emissions reductions. Australia, China, USA, the European Union, Japan and Korea have all moved to ban or restrict use of these in their carbon markets.
"As the only country not to restrict them, New Zealand will become the dumping ground for these cheap, dodgy units. The domestic carbon price will stay at rock bottom levels and there'll be virtually no incentive to reduce emissions or plant trees.
"This means that all the ETS is likely to do is have New Zealanders' money flowing overseas for no benefit to the climate. It will actually be worse than nothing."
In its submission to the Finance and Expenditure Select Committee last week, Generation Zero called for planned changes to extend the 'transition phase' indefinitely to be abandoned and proposed a number of steps to strengthen the ETS and introduce complementary measures.
Generation Zero also supports in full the comments and recommendations made by Permanent Forests International Limited in its press release of 24 September.
"The ETS is our Government's chosen policy tool to address climate change. There are many changes we'd like to see, but putting a cap on international units is a complete no-brainer," said Mr Young.
"This is the very least our Government could do to show it is still serious about doing its fair share on climate change and encouraging domestic forest planting. Without it, the ETS will become an international laughing stock.
"If we're not going to fix it, we might as well ditch it."

I thought I ought to get someone to critique my article. Apparently the only way would be to post it on your "Pee Review" queue. --18.104.22.168 20:52, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

|Really, not particularly funny. In fact, not atall funny. You seem to have gone for a couple of sketches describing the sexual abuse and murder of handicapped children, while claiming it's all the fault of the Iranians. While I suppose you deserve some kind of recognition for managing to transcend all boundaries of taste, I rather suspect that the only vaguely humo(u)rous thing in here is the fact that you have used camelCase on the URL.
|As above, you observed that a seemingly innocent domain name can look a bit sinister when looked at from a different angle. The same goes for PowergenItalia.com, PenIsland.com and MoleStationNursery. None of which are particularly worthy of a an article in their own right
|Prose and formatting:
|It's reasonably presented, I suppose. Not that it excuses being a rather too vivid description of stuff that would have most people burning their hard drive just to prevent the legal authorities coming to take them away in black helicopters.
|No images...thank goodness.
|Is this what goes on inside your head? Worrying.
|Final Score:
|I'm certainly no prude (you only need to read Rude Britain to see that I know a thing or two about unpleasant language and alarmingly descriptive metaphor), but this is just plain offensive. If someone would like to challenge me on it, all well and good. However, if it doesn't get QVFD soon, I'll be surprised.
