Harrington's history of "mind-body medicine" brings clarity and nuance to a thorny topic. She approaches it in terms of "narrative templates," maintaining that the way we think about the placebo effect echoes the miraculous nineteenth-century healings at Lourdes, and what we now call "the power of suggestion" has roots running through hypnotism and mesmerism back to the early Catholic practice of exorcism. Harrington elegantly ties together the popular appeal of mind-body explanations with their formal development in scientific communities. The journalist Norman Cousins, who successfully fought a degenerative tissue disorder with a regimen of Marx Brothers movies, "Candid Camera," and Vitamin C, became, in the nineteen-seventies and eighties, an icon of "the power of positive thinking" to cure disease, and, ultimately, a central player in the establishment of psychoneuroimmunology as a medical discipline. ♦

What will INFOMAR achieve?
The INFOMAR programme aims to deliver a diverse and ambitious range of products. These include:
The INFOMAR programme will complete the mapping of the Irish Designated Seabed Area started by the INSS. This will be achieved in two phases – initially focusing on 26 bays and 3 priority areas, and then moving on to complete the remaining areas.
This mapping activity will lead to the creation of a number of mapping products:- bathymetric maps- seabed geology/ classification maps- habitat maps
Standards & Best Practice
In addition to these maps, the INFOMAR programme will also produce a suite of best-practice standards. These standards will can be used to support future Irish bids for the performance of similar mapping exercises worldwide and will be published by relevant statutory licensing authorities in the marine area for national use.
The INSS database will be expanded to included additional baseline data to underpin the delivery of a range of requirements including management plans for inshore fishing, aquaculture, coastal protection and engineering works, environmental impact assessments related to licensing activity, Water Framework Directive requirements and to support evolving needs in the coastal zone management area.
Integrated Information Products
The INFOMAR programme will work to ensure that data from both the INSS and INFOMAR is easily available and integrated with other relevant national data sets in order to promote innovation and the development of value add products and decision support systems.
Where will INFOMAR survey?Initially INFOMAR will focus on 26 bays and 3 priority areas in its first 10 years of operation. During this period the EU designated Biologically Sensitive area will also be surveyed on an opportunistic basis, e.g. where use of vessels such as the R.V. Celtic Explorer can be used to best effect by taking part of this area while also working on a priority area.
Surveying for 2007 began in April, concentrating on the biologically sensitive area off the South West coast of Ireland. In addition to this it is envisaged that Galway Bay, Bantry Bay, Dunmanus Bay and Waterford Harbour will also be surveyed in 2007. Most of the work for 2007 will be completed using the research vessels, Celtic Explorer and Celtic Voyager, using acoustic multibeam technology, single beam echo-sounders and sub bottom profilers. Inshore launches will be used to carry out acoustic surveying and sampling in shallower areas and Airborne LiDAR will be used to survey areas less than 10m in depth and particularly in areas where survey activities on launches are either hazardous or impractical.

As Republicans in the Florida Legislature move to implement Arizona-style immigration laws, they need to stop and listen to the practicality and sanity from a member of their own party: Florida Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services Adam H. Putnam, a conservative Republican and a member of the state Cabinet.
Republicans are trying to pass two anti-immigration bills, HB 7089 and SB 2040, primarily aimed at Hispanics. The House bill would require police to check the immigration status of a person under criminal investigation if there is "reasonable suspicion" the person might be undocumented. The Senate bill requires police to check the status of inmates and identify those eligible to be deported. Each bill requires employers to check the immigration status of their workers. Although the Senate version is less rigid, business and immigration advocates oppose it.
Putnam, a former state legislator who also spent a decade in the U.S. Congress, opposes both bills. As a fifth-generation citrus grower and rancher in Polk County and as head of Florida agriculture and consumer services, a multimillion-dollar industry responsible for more than 400,000 jobs, Putnam is a genuine stakeholder in whatever happens with immigration reform.
Because of his credibility, Putnam's concerns about enacting draconian laws in the Sunshine State should not be dismissed or discounted.
"Florida is the capital of the Western Hemisphere," he said a few weeks ago. "We're a destination for investment capital, international tourists, international research and development and from Latin America in particular. We have to be very careful about how we approach this issue."
Putnam argues that Arizona-style laws, which are being challenged by the U.S. Department of Justice, will hurt Florida. "What Arizona did in Arizona is necessarily different than what Florida should do," he said. "They are a border state. And they were attempting to solve problems that are unique to a border state."
Although immigration laws should be overhauled, Putnam said, the overhauling should be done at the federal level, not in individual states and counties. After all, Congress alone has the authority to work with foreign nations on issues involving visas and travel across borders. As a member of Congress, Putnam tried to get his colleagues in Washington to approach immigration comprehensively. Now that he is back in Florida, he is trying to persuade Tallahassee lawmakers to earnestly analyze the negative economic impact of Arizona-style legislation before acting.
Again, Putnam is not a liberal Democrat who is trying to hand over the state to undocumented workers.
Evidence shows that copycat Arizona laws have cost states millions of dollars to implement them, and these laws have cost states millions in lost tourism and convention bookings. By one estimate, Arizona lost as much as $140 million as a result of canceled conventions and boycotts.
As far as I can tell, HB 7089 and SB 2040 are anti-Hispanic, which means that they will target most farmworkers. If passed, these bills will bring dangerous racial profiling that will lead to disrupted lives, fear and personal humiliation.
I am certain that Putnam is aware of this ugly side of what is going on in Tallahassee. Coming from a family of ranchers and growers, he is familiar with the handy misconception that migrant workers take jobs from able-bodied Americans eager to stoop and pick and lug for about $8 per hour — without benefits — in all weather conditions.
In an attempt to put this misconception to rest, the United Farm Workers union has challenged unemployed Americans to sign up for farm work through a campaign called "Take Our Jobs." The website is www. takeourjobs.org. Not surprisingly, few able-bodied unemployed Americans have signed up for backbreaking farm work.
Still, according to a recent poll, 51 percent of Florida voters, mostly whites, said they want the state to adopt an immigration policy similar to that of Arizona. And GOP lawmakers seem eager to give voters what they want.
Putnam has warned that such a policy would drive away seasoned farm hands and create unintended consequences. With time running out for this legislative session, immigration advocates are hoping Republicans will heed Putnam's warnings and follow his advice.

Graduate Students
Vennard College, in Iowa, Announces It Will Close
Vennard College, a small Christian college in University Park, Iowa, has announced it is closing at the end of the semester because of mounting financial pressures and low enrollment.
The college, which closed briefly in the 1990s for financial reasons, was facing a $300,000 deficit this semester and anticipated a larger one in 2009, The Des Moines Register reported.
Vennard is not the only small parochial college to struggle with financial problems. Last month Oklahoma Christian University said it would shut down Cascade College, which it operated as a satellite campus in Oregon, at the end of its spring semster.
Enrollment at Vennard is about 80 students. The college says it has struggled for years to raise the number above 100.
"I think it was the right decision, but a heartbreaking decision," Robert W. Bagley, the college's vice president for academic affairs, told the Register.
A final commencement will be held on November 22, and the college will stage a fair that weekend for other Christian colleges to recruit Vennard students and staff members. —Kathryn Masterson

I was wondering if there is a way in Firebird to have two alternative versions of the browser.jar file, selectable with the -chrome command line option.
As far as I can tell there's something that I have to modify in the chrome registry, but I'm not sure what and how. (I tried to modify the chrome.rdf file to point to an alternate browser.jar but this hasn't worked as expected).
Any idea? I'm almost sure that this thing is possible...

D.J. Pierce was born in Paris, and now that's where he's headed back to.
Yup, Pierce — known to most fans as former Drag Racer Shangela —was born in Paris, Texas, but will now be the host of a new sexy show in Las Vegas, set to open at — you guessed it — the Paris Las Vegas Hotel on The Strip.
Shangela will join the cast of 53X, a "fun dance showcase catering to the modern-day partier," which was created by Chippendales producer Bryan Cheatham, who recently revamped the all-male revue for the neighboring Rio Casino.
Full disclosure: D.J. and I are friends, and he's kept this news from me, but called to give me the skinny. "It's been a big secret for a while. They've been working on it since the fall, but I joined the rehearsals in January. The boys and girls are sexy and fun and to come in and not just host but perform alongside them [is amazing]," he said.
This also means Shangela might not be coming to Dallas as often as she used to … and bitch owes me a sushi dinner at Steel!
"Yes, I'm in a condo on The Strip," he said. "This is my first time being in one place for this long and doing five shows a night, so the adjustment has been an adventure in itself. I was just on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live with J.Lo and I told her during one of the breaks, 'You know we're neighbors — we're showgirls together." Shangela will also be making guest appearances on the new season RuPaul's Drag Race, which kicks off Monday.
53X will be performed in the Chateau Nightclub and Rooftop. Opening night is March 11, with performances Wednesday–Sunday. Tickets are just $29.95 ($49.95 for VIP). It's scheduled for just 90 minutes, "but if they let me loose on that mike we might be there three hours!" Congrats, Shangela!

Whenever I think of molasses, the first thought that comes to my mind is my grandmother's "Molasses Cake". Even though Grammie has been gone for many years now, I swear I can still smell and taste that dark, delicious, moist cake. Over the years, I have tried to recreate this dessert but have never had any luck. Grammie cooked on a woodstove/oven and I think that may well be the element I am missing.
I also have fond memories of my dad coming home for lunch and after the noon meal he always had a cup of tea. If there were no sweets in the house, he always buttered up a couple of slices of bread and smothered the bread in a thick layer of yummy molasses.
Here in the Maritime provinces, molasses is an intricate part of our culinary history. It is extremely versatile and can be used for a variety of goodies, all of which would be perfect to add to your holiday repertoire!
The highest grade of molasses available, Fancy Molasses is the pure juice of the sugar cane, condensed, inverted and purified. It is 100% natural and contains no additives or preservatives. It is a bit lighter in colour than the other molasses products, and the flavour is tangy sweet. All the recipes on the Crosby website are made with Fancy Molasses.
Uses: Fancy molasses is an excellent topping on toast, pancakes or biscuits and is a great addition to marinades, rubs and sauces. It is a popular ingredient in baked goods, yielding softer cookies and crustier bread.
Blackstrap Molasses is the highly-concentrated, final by-product of the refined sugar manufacturing process. As the sugar crystallizes, the residual cane juice thickens into a dark mass and is separated out through a centrifuge. The resulting molasses is very dark with a robust, somewhat bitter flavour. Like the fancy molasses, it is a pure product and contains no added sulphates or sulphites.
Uses: Blackstrap molasses is often used as a colouring agent in foods. Some prefer the more robust flavour of blackstrap molasses when preparing foods like baked beans or gingerbread. Blackstrap molasses is also recognized for its health benefits and is an excellent source of many minerals and nutrients including iron, magnesium and calcium.
Cooking Molasses is a blend of blackstrap and fancy molasses. It is thicker and darker than fancy molasses — less sweet, with a more "full-flavoured" taste.
Uses: It is commonly used to flavour sweets and cookies like gingersnaps, and is also excellent in baked beans and a variety of sauces such as barbeque and sweet-and-sour sauce. Any product made with Cooking Molasses will have a much more robust "molasses" flavour than if Fancy Molasses is used.
You also may be surprised to learn that molasses is not just for gingerbread cookies and baked beans. Crosby's has a comprehensive section of recipes on their website, including categories for making:
- Bread
- Cakes
- Candies
- Desserts
- Entrees
- Frosting
- Gingerbread
- Muffins
- Pies
- Special Treats
- Starters
And in keeping with the spirit of the holiday season, Crosby's Molasses is giving you a FREE E-BOOK with 20 recipes for holiday treats! How nice is that!
{Photo attribution: Bridget Oland, Crosby's Molasses}
In addition, to help you with your holiday baking and cooking, the kind people at Crosby's Molasses are giving one lucky reader a bundle of goodies! The bundle includes a cookbook, fabric bag, cookie cutter and 675 g package of molasses!
DATES – Giveaway opens December 12th and closes at 12:01AM on December 21st.

Sheryl Seamen
Vice Chair, Group 70 International, Pottery Collector
If you're ever invited to Sheryl Seamen's home, and she offers you some appetizers or snacks, be very careful.
Don't worry, her cooking is fine. It's her dinnerware. The bowl filled with macadamia nuts or miso soup may be more than 1,000 years old.
Seamen, vice chair of the architecture and planning firm Group 70 International, started collecting pottery from Changsha kiln in Hunan province in China several years ago. She first saw the pottery in a shop in Jakarta and was drawn to its rustic, yet elegant design. The kiln, which was in operation during the Tang Dynasty (618-909), produced pottery primarily for export throughout Southeast Asia.
"I like this particular style, because its graphic simplicity appeals to me," says Seamen. "But I also like the fact that this was the everyday-use dinnerware of the time. It was the Tang Dynasty version of Tupperware."
Seamen has collected 38 pieces so far, 30 small rice bowls, six serving bowls and a water and wine jug. She estimates that the collection is worth anywhere from $10,000 to $12,000, but that doesn't stop her from breaking out the antiques when guests come over for dinner.
"The pottery is a wonderful example of art in everyday life, and I like to share that with people," says Seamen. "However, when dinner is over, I'll clear the table and wash the dishes myself. And, of course, the bowls don't get anywhere near a microwave oven."

with Sara Watkins
Singer-songwriter Jackson Browne has added a string of Fall dates to his 2012 U.S. Acoustic Tour, including a Chicago date on Friday, October 26 at The Chicago Theatre. Playing guitar and piano, Jackson will perform songs from his entire body of work, with varying set lists each night. Singer-songwriter and fiddle player Sara Watkins will open the Acoustic Tour as a special guest.
Sara Watkins first gained recognition as a founding member of the GRAMMY-winning trio Nickel Creek. Sun Midnight Sun, the second solo album from acclaimed singer, songwriter, and fiddle player will be released May 8 on Nonesuch Records. Produced by guitarist, singer, and songwriter Blake Mills, co-founder of the band Simon Dawes, the album features special guest appearances by Fiona Apple, Jackson Browne, Taylor Goldsmith (Dawes), Benmont Tench, and Sean Watkins. "I'm really excited to have Sara joining me on this tour," says Jackson. "We've played together a number of times in the last few years, sometimes on her show and sometimes mine, and it's always been a thrill for me. I'm floored by her amazing instrumental virtuosity and by her beautiful voice, and most of all, I love her songs."
Jackson Browne has written and performed some of the most literate and moving songs in popular music and has defined a genre of songwriting charged with honesty, emotion and personal politics. He was honored with induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, and the Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2007. Beyond his music, he is known for his advocacy on behalf of the environment, human rights, and arts education. He's a co-founder of the groups Musicians United for Safe Energy (MUSE), Nukefree.org, and, Success Through the Arts Foundation, which provides education opportunities for students in South Los Angeles.

Bruce Springsteen wasn't just dancing in the dark. He was also brooding there, revealing a lifelong battle with severe depression in a revealing 16,000-word New Yorker profile hitting stands this week.
At the height of his stardom in the early 1980s, "he was feeling suicidal," Dave Marsh, Springsteen's first biographer and longtime confidante, told the New Yorker.
More from GlobalPost: Indians hate Oprah's India special
"The depression wasn't shocking, per se," Marsh said. "He was on a rocket ride, from nothing to something, and now you are getting your ass kissed day and night. You might start to have some inner conflicts about your real self-worth."
Even Springsteen's wife, Patti Scialfa, opened up to writer David Remnick about her husband's battles with the blues and acknowledged she shared them.
More from GlobalPost: Springsteen, McCarthy mics cut during London concert
"I suffered from depression myself, so I knew what that was about," she said. "Clinical depression, I knew what that was about. I felt very akin to him."
At times, Springsteen revealed that his infamous marathon shows were driven by "pure fear and self-loathing and self-hatred" -- more to burn himself out and keep real life at bay.
The Boss began seeing a therapist in 1982, just as his sixth studio album "Nebraska" was released.
His seventeenth studio album, "Wrecking Ball," was released in March and quickly rose to No. 1 on the Billboard charts, according to MTV.

Mendocino County Wineries Partner With Amazon.com to Sell 500 Boutique Wines and Engage Millions of Customers
Select wineries from Mendocino County, California are embracing the opportunity to reach the millions of wine buyers at the newly launched Amazon Wine Marketplace. In early November, Amazon.com launched its Wine Marketplace to bring boutique wines to its customers. More than one dozen Mendocino County wineries are participating with the initial launch of the program.
"For a small, family-owned winery like ours, this is an outstanding opportunity to connect to millions of users on Amazon.com," said Fred R. Buonanno, owner of Philo Ridge Vineyards.
Other wineries that are participating in the launch of the Amazon Wine Marketplace include Rivino, Albertina Wine Cellars, BARRA of Mendocino, Yorkville Cellars, Testa Vineyards, Brutocao Cellars, McFadden Vineyard, Parducci Wine Cellars and Weibel Family Vineyards and Winery.
"We love the fact that this opportunity allows us to reach a variety of Amazon customers who may not have found our wines otherwise," said Martha Barra of BARRA of Mendocino.
With the launch of the Amazon Wine Marketplace (www.amazon.com/wine), more than 500 wines from Mendocino County and its sub-appellations are available for sale online. The Amazon Wine Marketplace is designed to bring the tasting room experience online by offering an abundance of quality wine information, images, and reviews to help customers chose wines with only a few clicks. The new store features easy-to-use shopping tools to help customers explore great wines from Mendocino and other areas and offers access to rich details directly from winemakers, such as tasting notes, recommended food pairings and total case production. Customers can ship up to six bottles of their favorite wine for $9.99. Shipping will be available to California, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Nebraska, Nevada, North Carolina, Oregon, Washington, Wyoming and the District of Columbia, with more coming soon.
"We are excited to partner with Amazon.com to share our collection of family owned estate wines with wine lovers all over the U.S.," said Aaron Niderost of Brutocao Vineyards and Cellars. Fred Zmarzly of Albertina Wine Cellars added, "I know this program will be a success. With so many customers, Amazon can be a wonderful place for a small winery to get national market coverage"
Mendocino Winegrowers, Inc. (MWI) was instrumental in connecting wineries with Amazon over the last 8 weeks. The organization's mission is to connect Mendocino wineries and vineyards with buyers for grapes and wine. Zac Robinson, owner of Husch Vineyards and a volunteer with MWI, is excited to see Mendocino wineries online. "The Amazon project is a perfect example of how MWI can help local wineries sell more wine," said Robinson. MWI began operation on Aug. 1, 2012 shortly after the Mendocino Winegrape and Wine Commission ceased operation on June 30.

On Wednesday, tobacco product manufacturer Philip Morris USA announced its plans to build a $50 million tobacco leaf storage warehouse complex in Chester.
The new facility will total 1 million square feet and cost about $50 million to establish. It will be located off of Bermuda Road in the Meadowville area of Chesterfield County.
"We are pleased to continue investing in the Richmond area, which is home to our headquarters and state-of-the-art manufacturing center," said Cliff Fleet, President and CEO of Philip Morris USA. "This strategic Chesterfield County location will allow us convenient access to our manufacturing facilities and complement our existing storage and production activities."
Chesterfield County leaders are waiting for the new facility with anticipation.
"This new PM USA facility will be a welcome addition to our corporate community and once again indicates Chesterfield's commitment to providing a business friendly environment," said James Holland, Chairman of the Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors.
Philip Morris is owned by Altria Group, Inc. and headquartered in Richmond. About 4,000 Virginians are employed by Altria.
Since 1983, Philip Morris has been the largest cigarette manufacturer in the United States; more than half the cigarettes in the United States are made in its manufacturing center in South Richmond.
"Altria is one of the top 10 largest employers in the area and we are pleased that they found Chesterfield County to be the right place for their continued investment," said Jay Stegmaier, County Administrator of Chesterfield County.

A Spanish tapas restaurant that aspires to be about more then just food, Mundaka has only been open a few short years but has quickly joined the ranks of Carmel's top dining destinations.
The small plates-centric menu jumps from flavor to flavor, each dish packing a punch. Boquerones, or Mediterranean white anchovies, Embutidos, aka a sampling of Spanish and house made meats, and Hamburguesa, a mini lamb burger with pickled cauliflower and tarragon aioli that might be a little more recognizable to American palates, are but a few of the outstanding dishes served up at Mundaka. There is even a dish called Foie—a plate of seared foie gras, banana and beet puree.
Mundaka takes its name from a small seaside fishing village in the Basque Country of Spain. The restaurant was named the Best New Restaurant of 2009 by local paper the Monterey County Weekly and the Best Appetizers/Small Plates of 2010 by the same venerable publication.

In order to support some automation, I needed the ability to pull out subsets of postgres tables in a format which could be loaded into other postgres databases. Instead of writing a utility to replicate the functionality in pg_dump, I created a new flag, --where, which allows you to postpend where (or order or limit or whatever) sql fragments at the end of the select done by pg_dump. You must use the --insert option with this so that it will generate inserts (which is done via select) instead of copy (which is done via copy). You almost certain will need to also use the --table option since most likely the sql fragment will only be valid for one table instead of all tables. I find it very useful and hope you do to. This patch was created with 7.x postgresql, but if it doesn't apply cleanly against 8.x, I can probably update it for you.

|Crux comes at the start and end. May be nice to stick clip the first bolt. The 3rd bolt is high off the ledge and would result in a ground fall if you bounce off the ledge. Still a fun climb if you can keep your head. Some good pockets in the Rocket.

BRANDON — Last year at this time, things were much different for Brandon High's baseball team.
The Eagles were 3-2 and on their way to a pedestrian 6-4 start. Few in local baseball circles were talking about Brandon, a team starting seven sophomores. Crowds were sparse and college coaches weren't zeroing in on the young Eagles.
What a difference one year makes.
"This is a whole new ball game," Brandon coach Matt Stallbaumer said.
Indeed it is. The sophomores are now juniors, Brandon is considered by many to be the top team in the Hillsborough County. The Eagles certainly won't be sneaking up on anyone.
Brandon is now the 800-pound gorilla in the room.
"We may be looked at differently coming into this year," Stallbaumer said. "But we're trying to do the same basic things that got us to where we went last year — pitch well and play sound defense."
But the Eagles will certainly do so with much more fanfare. Brandon rebounded from that so-so start to the season by winning 17 of it next 19 games. During that stretch, the Eagles ripped off six straight wins to capture the prestigious Tony Saladino Tournament in stirring fashion. Brandon then marched through districts and the playoffs, reaching the state semifinal before bowing out to eventual state champion Dunedin.
"It was a nice run," Stallbaumer said. "But we have more work to do."
There is little doubt Brandon is capable of making another deep run into the playoffs. But in arguably the toughest district in the county, making the postseason will be a task. Both Bloomingdale and Armwood are strong this year, and the three teams will likely battle it out for just two playoff spots come April.
"Armwood and Bloomingdale are a lot like us," Stallbaumer said. "They both have very good pitching and defense. I think for them, just like us, is who will come up with the timely hits."
Brandon, off to a 3-0 start and facing visiting Newsome tonight at 7, has been hit by a string of early-season injuries and illness. Matt Bennett (ribs) and Aaron Estrada (collarbone) have only recently been cleared to participate while starting center fielder James Ramsey has been playing through a nagging knee injury. The flu bug also swept through the team and coaching staff.
"From a coaching standpoint, it's been annoying," Stallbaumer said. "You show up every day to get to work and it seems like there has been someone new on the inactive list."
The Eagles' lineup will look very similar to last year's club. Vernon White and Estrada will plug the hole vacated by left fielder Chris Bradford. Eric Arce transferred to Lakeland but the Eagles return the meat of their order: Mike Smith, Roderick Shoulders and James Ramsay. Senior Dan Trnka and his four wins are gone, but starters Austin Browder and Cory Schools are back, as is reliever Chase Sparkman.

London, June 26 (ANI): Lewis Hamilton has hinted that he is going to propose to his long-term girlfriend, Nicole Scherzinger this year.
Before their relationship enters its 6th year, the F1 star will officially ask for the hand of the ex-Pussy Cat Doll singer, as he feels that being together for five years, was quite a milestone in their relationship, the Sun reported.
The duo regularly back each other in their profession lifves, and their relationship appears firmly back on track since Nicole landed the X Factor job last year, the paper said. (ANI)

Matrix Mathematics:
When first published in 2005, Matrix Mathematics quickly became the essential reference book for users of matrices in all branches of engineering, science, and applied mathematics. In this fully updated and expanded edition, the author brings together the latest results on matrix theory to make this the most complete, current, and easy-to-use book on matrices.
Each chapter describes relevant background theory followed by specialized results. Hundreds of identities, inequalities, and matrix facts are stated clearly and rigorously with cross references, citations to the literature, and illuminating remarks. Beginning with preliminaries on sets, functions, and relations,Matrix Mathematics covers all of the major topics in matrix theory, including matrix transformations; polynomial matrices; matrix decompositions; generalized inverses; Kronecker and Schur algebra; positive-semidefinite matrices; vector and matrix norms; the matrix exponential and stability theory; and linear systems and control theory. Also included are a detailed list of symbols, a summary of notation and conventions, an extensive bibliography and author index with page references, and an exhaustive subject index. This significantly expanded edition of Matrix Mathematics features a wealth of new material on graphs, scalar identities and inequalities, alternative partial orderings, matrix pencils, finite groups, zeros of multivariable transfer functions, roots of polynomials, convex functions, and matrix norms.
"When a matrix question is thrown my way, I will now refer my correspondents . . . to Bernstein's handbook."--Philip J. Davis, SIAM News
"Matrix Mathematics contains an impressive collection of definitions, relations, properties, equations, inequalities, and facts centered around matrices and their use in systems and control. The amount of material that is covered is quite impressive and well structured. . . . I highly recommend the book as a source for retrieving matrix results that one would otherwise have to search for in the extensive literature on matrix theory."--Paul Van Dooren, IEEE Control Systems Magazine
"The author was very successful in collecting the enormous amount of results in matrix theory in a single source. . . . A beautiful work and an admirable performance!"--Monatshefte für Mathematik
"It is a remarkable source of matrix results. I will put it on the shelf near to my desk so that I have quick access to it. The book is an impressive accomplishment by the author. . . . I can enthusiastically recommend it to anyone who uses matrices. The author has to be applauded for the accomplishment of putting together this impressive volume."--Helmut Lutkepohl, Image
"The book is a well-organized treasure trove of information for anyone interested in matrices and their applications. Look through the Table of Contents and see if there isn't some section that will tempt you and/or illuminate your pathway through the extensive literature on matrix theory. Researchers should have access to this authoritative and comprehensive volume. Academic and industrial libraries should have it in their reference collections. Their patrons will be grateful."--Henry Ricardo, MAA Reviews

Food Allergy (FA) is a common pediatric atopic disease. Characteristically children affected by FA become sensitized to food in the first few months of life and spontaneously outgrow the disease by 5-6 years of age in about 80% of cases. At the present time, diagnosis of FA is made by a combination of history, skin testing and food challenge. The pathogenic mechanisms leading to food sensitization and subsequent spontaneous tolerance development are not understood.

With the growing number of businesses using video to promote their product and engage consumers how can you make your company stand out from the ever-increasing crowd?
Our tip? User Generated Content
First things first, what do we mean by "User Generated Content"? Put simply, any content that your consumers, subscribers and fans produce that talks about your company, product or service is classed as User Generated Content.
So what's all the fuss about?
Customer testimonials and reviews have long been used by companies. Lots of happy customers saying nice things about your company gives future customers a powerful and compelling reason to choose you above your competitors. Add a video element to those testimonials and reviews and you've got a recipe for success.
But why?
1. Highly Personal: The big buzz around online video is that it gives your company a personal voice and is much more engaging than text alone. Well, the same thing applies when it's your users who are creating that content. By encouraging your users to upload video testimonials visitors to your site see the face behind the review, giving it that personal touch that viewers respond to.
2. A Fresh Perspective: The beauty of using user generated videos is that it keeps all your content fresh and new, bringing different perspectives with each and every upload.
3. Relationship Building: By providing your customers with an outlet to express their views and opinions you are encouraging them to directly contribute to the building of your brand and reputation. What better way to develop a powerful sense of loyalty that will keep them coming back for more.
In fact, user generated content can be so powerful that whole businesses are being built on the back of it – just take a look at Bravo.
Strike a balance
But, it's important to remember that User Generated Content shouldn't be used to replace your professional content. A recent study by comScore found that exposing consumers to both professional and user generated online video was the most effective form of promotion, over and above the use of each separately.
Complement your promotional videos with user generated content for the best results.
By integrating with a video hosting platform you can embed both professional and user generated videos on your site. Create competitions, invite reviews and showcase your product it's all possible with a flexible API. Team all of this with branded promotional videos and you've got the best of both worlds.

Pediatrician Sentenced for Molesting Patients
A Delaware pediatrician accused of molesting more than 100 patients between 1998 and 2009 has been sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole. The 56-year-old doctor was charged with 33 felony counts of first- and second-degree rape, sexual exploitation of a child by photo or film, and endangering the welfare of a child.
According to reports, the victims were young girls of various ages, and at least one boy. The victim who came forward, prompting the arrest, was 2 years old. The doctor was arrested in December 2009; searches of his home yielded hundreds of DVDs and video tapes of forced sexual acts with patients which included intercourse, oral sex, and fondling.
In June, the doctor was convicted of 24 counts of rape, sexual exploitation of a child, unlawful sexual contact, endangering the welfare of a child and other charges. A bench trial judge sentenced the ex-pediatrician to 14 life terms, plus 164 years in prison without the possibility of parole.

TALLAHASSEE — Floridians must submit urine, blood or hair samples for drug testing before receiving cash benefits from the state under a bill Gov. Rick Scott signed into law Tuesday.
"The goal of this is to make sure we don't waste taxpayers' money," Scott said. "And hopefully more people will focus on not using illegal drugs."
The new law fulfills a campaign pledge from Scott but has raised legal questions. The ACLU of Florida has signaled it might sue over the law.
"Once again, this governor has demonstrated his dismissal of both the law and the right of Floridians to personal privacy by signing into law a bill that treats those who have lost their jobs like suspected criminals," ACLU of Florida director Howard Simon said.
The new law, which takes effect July 1, will mean about 4,400 drug tests per month, according to the Department of Children and Families.
Taxpayers will reimburse welfare applicants for negative drug tests, which can cost $10 to $25. Positive tests will carry an immediate six-month ban on Temporary Assistance for Needy Families. A second positive test will result in a three-year ban on state assistance. Other details in HB 353:
• The Department of Children and Families must inform applicants that they can avoid a drug test if they do not apply for benefits.
• The state must assure each applicant "a reasonable degree of dignity while producing and submitting a sample."
• Parents who fail drug tests can get benefits for their children by naming a state-approved designee to collect the money. That designee must also pass a drug test.
About 233,000 Floridians applied for cash assistance in 2009-10, according to DCF statistics. This month, 93,170 Floridians received cash assistance, a drop of 8.3 percent from a year ago.
Scott on Tuesday also signed HB 1039, a bill banning a white powder marketed as bath salts that mimics cocaine and LSD when snorted. The legislation was pushed by Attorney General Pam Bondi.

What Should Unemployed Teens Do? BroBible Is Here to Help
Should we blame the kids for not finding work? Or should we help them figure out what to do this summer if they're jobless?
Reggie Noble: If I were a college-bound teen without a job for the summer, I would, wait for it, get a g*ddamn job. And I'll tell you why.
Those of us not born with a silver spoon in our mouths face an almost-impossible-to-climb hill when it comes to financing a university education. I sacrificed sun, beers, and road trips all in the name of a moderately palatable paycheck each and every summer. Not doing so would have left me more with more than double the debt I currently face, which is already crippling.
Fun in your teens is bad*ss, yes, but there's a sliding scale. When you're young and have virtually no responsibility outside of cleaning up wet-dream spooge and occasionally mowing the lawn, excess fun isn't appreciated as much as a work-a-day adult whose free seconds are typically spent filling out paperwork or picking up sh*t from the store for your wife so she can make dinner. It's sad, but true.
Add to that the fact that fun costs money. Don't let those pithy sayings about the best things in life being free make one bit of impact. It's fortune-cookie nonsense.
Jobs a 16- or 17-year-old lands are infinitely less taxing than the ones you get when you're older. At the time, they seem hard. A couple years removed, however, and you realize you spent 80 percent of the time either flirting or texting. They also don't require around-the-clock stress. Some jackass doesn't get his fries fast enough? Big f*cking deal. Blow a deadline when you're older, and that's got real consequences.
Yeah, I'm old and bitter. Get a job, kids. It won't kill you.
Robb Stark: If I were a jobless kid, I would make sure to say the words "the economy" at least ten times a day, particularly in settings that involve friends' parents. This would evoke prolonged stretches of sympathetic head-nodding, and would essentially serve as a free pass secretly drink in the woods with my one other jobless friend.
I'd then take a nap, complain about how it wasn't that good of a nap, and watch Maury. I'd watch so much Maury that I'd have every single line in my back pocket to use at the best possible moment in any social setting.
I would also start a blog solely dedicated to figuring out why high school girls sports teams are obsessed with making matching t shirts.
Brandon Wenerd: I also would have had a f*cking job.
You can spend your early twenties eating molly at music festivals or dicking off in Europe. Graduating high school isn't some Nobel Prize-worthy accomplishment that merits a summer-free-for-all. By societal standards, graduating high school is doing exactly what was expected of you. There's no trophy for hitting par; no reason for a "We're going to Disney World!" moment.
And, to channel my inner-Ron Swanson, I think these kids who are whining about not finding summer jobs are coddled, uncreative crybabies. Sh*t like this is the reason why countries like Finland are leading in global innovation while the U.S. continues to slips away in the rankings due to general sloth and delusions of grandeur that "the world owes us a job." It does not.
During all of high school, I worked my balls off in the dining room/banquet facilities at a country club. By the time the summer before college rolled around, I was 18 at the time, so there were absolutely zero excuses to not pull 40-60 hours week, sometimes 12-14 hours at a time on Saturdays and Sundays. And I took all the overtime I could get, because the money was f*cking awesome, even when making $2.83 an hour + tips. And despite spending an entire summer dealing with country club member politics and sweating my ass off in black wool pants and a white Oxford serving Arnold Palmers and cleaning up after weddings, it still ended up being one best summers of my life thanks to working alongside some of my best friends. I'd never trade some of those life moments for some sort of overprivileged free-for-all.
I have no pity on any kid using the economy as an excuse to opt out of a summer job. As my grandfather says, "There's no excuses for boredom; There's always something to do." Even if you live in a rural bum-f*ck-Egypt town straight out of 16 and Pregnant, you can still get creative. Learn to hawk your hoarding neighbor's junk on Ebay. Go sell bottled water in an amphitheater parking lot. Make something. There's just no excuse to spend a summer of one's youth coming up with pathetic excuses.
Andy Moore: Sans job, I finally get around to creating a game that I've always thought would be pretty sweet if it were made. Okay, roll with me here: 2 teams, a basketball court, the game of HORSE. Only instead of HORSE, you use baseball rules. The shot closest to the basket is a single, then the shot farther back is a double, then a triple, and the longest shot is a home run. To mix things up, you can "pysche-out" opponents by getting in their face while they're shooting and hurl insults at them. Pretty soon, I'm pretty sure the game would sweep the country and I'd make friends with the guys from my all-time favorite band, Reel Big Fish.
I'm being told I just described the plot of Baseketball.
I guess I would just end up drinking and going to the beach or something.

IntroGroupWatch shows your entire party or raid in a compact grid, allowing you to see everyone's status. Each member's panel will tint itself based on threat, and will show their health, power (mana/energy/rage/focus/runic), multiple buttons (to which spells can be bound) and the heath of their target. Spells can be bound to cast on a party/raid member directly (healers), on their target (tanks), or on their target's target.
GroupWatch was originally designed for tanks, but is great for healers and useful to everyone. I will not lie; This addon's idea is a combined idea from TauntMaster and Rewatch. I wanted to use TauntMaster but it was too simple for me, I wanted something more like Rewatch, but that would work for tanks.

- Modular; Different modules can be turned off to improve performance.
- Lists a grid of party/raid members
- Shows Members' Health and Power
- Up to 12 buttons can be shown, in a selectable amount of rows.
- Shows Members' Target's Health
- Frames tint colors for different classes.
- Frames change colors based on threat.
- Frames fade out when unit is out of general range
- GroupWatch_Dispells: Dispelling spells fade out if there's nothing to dispel
- GroupWatch_Sorting: Hold shift for options to sort the frames.
If you would like to help localize this addon, which would be greatly appreciated, try using the GroupWatch Localization Page on CurseForge. Let it be noted that credit for the the current German translation goes to kaimon, not me.
Basic UsageThis addon works right out-of-the-box for tanks and healers, though it is smart to customize the bound spells to fit your play style. On the first log-in, you should see a frame for yourself. You can click and drag the box just to the upper-left of it to move it. More frames will appear as players join your party, and they will all move together.
Operating this addon's features is as simple as clicking what you want on who you want. Click on a party member's name to select them, or their target to select it. Or you could just click one of the action boxes, to cast a spell or use an item on the configured target, or run a macro. If you've forgotten which action you've bound, mouse over it's icon and check the tooltip.
More Useful InfoYou can bind actions to the three boxes by alt-clicking them. If you hold alt when you left- or right-click one of the spells' boxes, a dialog will appear, asking for the action's type (spell, item, or macro), it's name, and what target it should use. "unit" is the party member the frame is for, "unit-target" is his target, and "unit-target-target" is his target's target. Note that a macro cannot be used on the configured target, and will run as normal when clicked.
If you've chosen to enable some modules, you'll see extra features. If you've enabled "GroupWatch_Dispels", then left-click bound spells that have a dispel effect will have their icons faded when there is nothing to dispel. If you've enabled "GroupWatch_Sorting", you may hold the shift-button to dispay some sorting options. You may choose to sort by tanks first, assists first, or leave it as group order.
Advanced UsageYou can add and sort additional buttons in the Interface Options window, so up to twelve buttons can be shown at a single time. You can also set how many buttons you want in a row. For example, if you want 2 rows, you can set the number of buttons to 8 and the buttons per row to 4. You may hold the Shift button to access another set of buttons, which will replace your current ones as long as you have shift down. The same rules apply; alt-shift-click will bind a spell, and so on.
Some minor features can be configured in the Interface Options window. Here, you will find many options related to scaling and display. On the left, you will see a decent amount of scaling options. You can drag the scaling sliders, or you can just click one and you will be asked to manually enter the number. On the upper-right, you will see some general settings to change.
CreditsI, Derrekk, made this AddOn from scratch. I admit I have taken some ideas, and learned from, a few other addons. These include: TauntMaster, Rewatch, and HealerButtons. Credit for the idea goes to the creator of TauntMaster, trrecordings. Credit for the fading and layout ideas goes to the creator of Rewatch, Dezyne. And finally, credit goes to the creator of HealerButtons, Scale, whose code I learned a lot from about secure action buttons.
I would also like to thank kaimon, ercynna, AZMAK, and Ravenscaur for their great suggestions. And finally, thanks to everyone who contributed to the locales!
Hi, I like very much this add-on, but I wonder if you can add a function, I tried to change it but I had problems. If possible, could add to the windows of every player in the group, a function, a button or a command to reduce the window to window sizes, so you can keep the windows open only a few players in the group choice, to keep open, for example, only those of the tank, to quickly select their target, or only some players that I care at that moment, and then reopen them all, one by one, so you can see time to time, just what I needed at that time, if I need to see everyone, keep all windows open, or open and close what I want when I want. Also if you could choose to paint the life or name according to the class, to quickly identify the various players. I do not know if you want or you can make these changes, but I thank and salute anyway.Last edited by burber: Apr 6, 2010

A father, soccer coach, and Utica resident Ricky Morgan was separated from his family on June 5th during a routine check-in with ICE and will now be deported to Jamaica. Family members, community members and local activists are struggling to come to terms with this sudden, grim reality.
Over the last few months, a broad coalition of organizations, including ICE-Free Capital District, the labor union Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), Troy Sanctuary Movement and the Unitarian Universalist Society of Saratoga Springs have come to Ricky's aid and accompanied him for monthly check-ins with ICE. Ricky was inspired by a previous rally activists held for a mother and immigrant from Hudson, NY who was facing deportation. He hoped that similar support from the community would help him in the future. For a while, Ricky was only checking in with ICE once a year until he was told after the election of Trump that he became a priority for deportation and had to check in with ICE monthly.
Ricky moved to the US in the 1990s on a work visa and is still permitted to work in the US. He was targeted in the past by ICE during the Obama administration and was separated from his family by ICE for six months while he was kept in Batavia's ICE Detention Center, one of countless jails in the US that exist to house immigrants. He will now be sent back to Batavia before his deportation.
Joe Paparone, an organizer with ICE-Free Capital District stated: "We need to start telling the truth. Immigration enforcement has nothing to do with criminality, and it's regular people like Ricky – people with families, communities, workplaces, neighbors, that are having their lives torn apart, for no reason other than the racist scapegoating of a pathological liar. Those of us who care about our communities are going to keep fighting this racist deportation regime, and keep standing up for vulnerable members of our communities."

By the Portland IWW - Portland IWW, May 4, 2017
This was originally sent to KOIN 6 as a response to the events that took place on May Day in Portland.
The Industrial Workers of the World is proud that we were able to celebrate International Workers Day and march in solidarity with so many organizations which are essential and vibrant to the community of Portland and at large. International Workers Day is an important holiday that showcases the struggle of all workers against the wholesale societal systemic oppression brought about by corporations, CEOs, and the mega-rich capitalist class. The fact that there was such a strong contingent of marchers from all walks of life is representative of the American working class.
The Portland Police Bureau's use of violence against workers and their families – as well as the children who were in the crowd celebrating the holiday with their parents – is a travesty and a violation of both human rights, as well as the right to peaceful assembly. We condemn their efforts in restricting accessibility to fellow workers with disabilities, and their blatant disregard for the health and well-being of the people they have sworn to protect. By direct contrast, they assisted visible white supremacists and white nationalists at the "March for Free Speech 82nd Ave," specifically a non-permitted march by pro-Trump supporters on April 29th by chartering Tri-Met buses and public transportation to get these people, some of whom were making Nazi salutes during their protest, back to their vehicles.
Our goal is and has always been to support and assist the workers of the world, and we will continue to fight for the needs of all in the face of police and capitalist oppression, and stand by our watchword that an injury to one is an injury to all. As such, the Portland Police Bureau inflicted shameful injury against the workers, their families, and their children during the May Day march; we will stand against that in solidarity with our fellow workers.

On April 30th, the DC Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) staged a picket in support of fellow worker Julia Flores, a member of the IWW and the Comité de Apoyo Laboral y Poder Obrero (the Comité), who was wrongfully terminated by Whole Foods in September 2016. After 15 years of service, Whole Foods retaliated against Julia for collectively organizing to win back a fellow worker's job. Since Julia's wrongful termination, she has made several appeals to the company's local and regional leadership only to be dismissed without justice. In December 2016, the manager who terminated Julia, Victor Vazquez, was fired along with eight other managers, for 'stealing bonuses'. Our picket was not only in support of Julia's Unfair Labor Practice (ULP) claim but to demand her reinstatement as well as restitution. Our message to Whole Foods and the surrounding employers was clear: We, the workers of the District of Columbia, will not tolerate repression of fellow workers, retaliation for organizing our workplaces, or wage theft. An injury to one is an injury to all!
Our coalition was comprised of around sixty comrades including members of Many Languages One Voice (MLOV), the Comité, the IWW and its General Defense Committee (GDC), the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), Socialist Alternative, Future is Feminist, DC Stampede, DC Showing Up for Racial Justice (SURJ), and the Socialist Snack Squad. We assembled at 10:30 am to review our overall strategy, our contingency escalation plan, and individual roles. The fulcrum of the action was a delegation of five comrades that accompanied Julia to Whole Foods to present her demands to the store manager in advance of the picket. Unsurprisingly, Whole Foods refused to negotiate and demanded the delegation leave the store. While we had no illusion that the bosses had any intention of conceding, workers organizing an effective picket should clearly articulate their demands to both the bosses as well as to the wider community. The delegation relayed the details of their meeting to the picket and then proceeded to canvas nearby businesses to put pressure on Whole Foods. At each stop the delegation explained the circumstances of Julia's wrongful termination, Whole Food's history of worker repression, and the delegation's recent treatment by the store manager.

If you are reading this then over 40,000 CWA union members have walked off their jobs as part of a three day strike against AT&T. The strike at the telecommunications giant is just one of the latest in a string of strikes by workers in the industry that have all pushed back against attacks on wages, health care, job outsourcing, and corporate globalization.
Despite tough talk from both major capitalist parties and Trump in particular, since the economic meltdown of 2008, the only thing that has changed is that billions of dollars have moved out of the hands of poor and working-class people and into the hands of the billionaires – who are now running the government.

With the election of Trump, the demand for nonprofit fundraising is on the rise. Sadly, the people who do this important work are often poorly compensated for their much-needed labor. In Ann Arbor, employees of the progressive-oriented canvassing firm, Grassroots Campaigns Incorporated, are demanding better working conditions and higher wages.
To this end, canvassers and field managers with the Boston-based company's Ann Arbor office have applied for a National Labor Relations Board election for union recognition with the Industrial Workers of the World union. GCI employees submitted paperwork for the election on May 12. An overwhelming majority of workers at the company's Ann Arbor office have signed union cards.
"We decided to organize, because we felt that the charitable organizations that we fundraise for would be less than thrilled to hear that the people who are doing the fundraising for them are being paid minimum wage with no benefits or any possibility of advancement," says GCI employee Brett Mcfann.

I wonder what
20 year old me would have thought of all this. That was 40 years ago.
The gleeful geeks at iFixit and ChipWorks have torn apart Apple's latest flagship iPhone, the 5s, and inside they found a lot of glue and a few surprises – including the manufacturer of the A7 processor and the source of the sensor-wrangling M7 chip that was much touted at the rollout of Apple's latest smartphones last week. …
20 year old me would have thought of all this. That was 40 years ago.
You ve got at least 15years on me........it's been a long time coming....... Roll on the next generation of tech. Can't wait :)
Since you have made it clear you are 60 or thereabouts, I'm now worried your handle may not have been chosen to be ironic.
Aye. My first job was in Marine Radio, with power tetrodes for the output stages, and receivers with 21 valves in. The radars were semi-transistorised.
The first colour TV I bought had 11 active devices, excluding the voltage multiplier but including the CRT itself. My latest has over 3 million transistors.
My perception on battery life with an iPhone 5, holds charge well at first but once down to 80% it depletes more quickly.
Average power consumption before the upgrade would leave me with 63%
Average power consumption after upgrade leaves me with 53% and that is on a quiet day.
Bit soon to tell isn't it - after all it was only released on the 18th so you would have 2 full days to test it so far and it would not take much more 'playing' to explain that difference.
An average, but quieter than average, day?
80% left...
Or is that what the screen is lying to you?
It's all to do with heat. If you do a lot of things that get the device hot (gaming) then the battery degrades faster.
If they were feeling frustrated at all of apples patent trolling and attempting to screw then over at every turn, they could have such fun with the chip fab.
But then apple do seem to be doing a pretty decent job of disappointing their devotees at the moment, probably no point...
As far as I see it, the Apple-Samsung patent spat is free advertising for Samsung. People who want Apple will buy Apple, everyone else now has Samsung front-of-mind as the first Android option.
Most people I know who rock the Apple kit bought it because their friends did, the rest are devs/IT who need it for testing and the vast majority use an Android phone in their personal lives.
Phones are now a commodity product, even most apps are bullshit and the most useful non-productivity ones could be cut down to run as HTML5 web apps. The most likely moneymaker in the future is the content sales and distribution, everything else is quickly becoming run of the mill.
What rubbish only and idiot would build their app with HTML5 it runs so slowly compared to a native app.
You obviously know b@gger all about real app development HTML5 are so clunky and slow even on new kit plus you can't use a local database or have access to all the phones hardware using HTML5.
I travel into London every day and people coming in from Sussex and Surrey all seem to have apple devices, then the train I change onto from north Kent have Samung.
The type of device your friends have is more likely to be due to your geographic location and demographic than a national trend.
I walked passed the Regent st store today (@ 8:05 am) and the queue was much larger than last years launch of the iPhone 5
>>the Apple-Samsung patent spat is free advertising for Samsung.<<
Yeah, that's probably why Apple are being aggressive patent trolls, to give Samsung free advertising. That, and in an attempt to legally injunct sales of Samsung phone in the USA...but probably more to give them 'free' (as in expensive international lawyer time) advertising, sure.
Out here in the forgotton wastelands beyond watford, the company hands out iPhones to the dirty mishapen wretches it employs. The apple phones are so marvelous that over three quarters of us have subsequently bought android devices from our own meagre wages. On monday I will take a glue gun to my samsung's battery so that it can once again be as technically advanced as the latest iPhone.
As someone who went from a Blackberry (HATED), to Droid (Semi-Hated) to an iPhone 4S (actually really like), I have to disagree with your anti-fanboi comments. Like most iPhone people, I find the integration and interoperability a huge plus. The "just works" is what a lot of Apple fans care about. The 4S is the first phone that actually works well for me without having to cycle power, remove batteries to reset, deal with laggy processors, etc.
at the core of your Apple, is a Samsung heart - that's the only revenge Fandroids need.
To be fair, you haven't used Windows Phone 8 which is rather good.
This "just works" is BS. I get sick of hearing it - tell it to the Applerati who moan at me that their Mac crashed.
If you've stared at the swirly beachball while Mountian Lion's having a shit-fit, you'll know what I mean. Windows 7 AND Windows 8 "just work" as well as anything spewed out from Cupertino's satanic sphincter. So does most Linux.
Some people like Apple, some people don't. Some people can be objective and critical of EVERYONE'S eco system with no loyalty to any brand and without following quasi religious dogma. I use THEM ALL and on a good day, love them all and on a bad day hate them all....EQUALLY.
iPhone just works? integration?
Sure IF all your kit is Apple, but as soon as you step outside the apple ecosystem you find things called standards... which means I can just as easily stream via DLNA to my Samsung TV as I can to my parents Panasonic, etc...
Standards mean my android phone needs no software on Windows or Linux to transfer files, yet on mac I do and then I still fight to get it to work...
Standards, something Apple likes to ignore...
A/C said: "You obviously know b@gger all about real app development HTML5 are so clunky and slow even on new kit plus you can't use a local database or have access to all the phones hardware using HTML5."
Hybrid apps can use a local DB and much of the devices' hardware. Also, done correctly, they can run perfectly well on all but the oldest of devices. I think you're the one who knows bugger all about 'real app development', in this day and age at least. Also, you could do with brushing up on your grammar by the looks of it.
>What rubbish only and idiot would build their app with HTML5 it runs so slowly compared to a native app.
Howdy, Idiot Number 1 here. Funny, the ones I made zip and pop like an iPhone commercial after the edited sequences. Guess I should have listened to the 'experts' out there. Instead, I wrote my own JavaScript and cut down reaction times below 10% of what the average library/jQuery user sees.
Simply rewriting loops using while (counter--) {//loop here} is a massive performance increase. I can do 30000+ string comparisons in around 7ms whereas it was well over 100ms using an optimized for loop, and that is on old kit (note timing is only accurate +/- 15ms in JS apparently, so take that for what it is worth).
Likewise, using SVG for graphics and graphing along with CSS sprites when well done give a very rich visual response that doesn't kill the speed (assuming you know how to use these correctly). This is a benefit of not having to support older IE (something I accepted begrudgingly after using the D3 library - d3js.org)
>you can't use a local database
Someone please inform the AC of localStorage and AppCache.
>or have access to all the phones hardware using HTML5
Very true, but I can still geolocate, use audio, camera, video, and access device orientation...
The above notwithstanding, I certainly agree that serious apps for working or social BS will definitely benefit from being native, the same does not apply for smaller, more limited-in-scope apps that are likely to be made in house for a specific task. It really depends on what is needed, something many devs cannot comprehend as they start copying what they saw someone do rather than doing what they need to do for that specific project (lets ignore Java coders trying to write JavaScript - it is often worse than what 'designers' get up to with the jQuery).
Furthermore, one can make hybrid apps that are mostly HTML5, but run inside a native app which is used only for the parts that absolutely cannot be otherwise accessed. Once again, for smaller specific apps this could be an excellent development shortcut while still having much of the code reusable for desktop/laptop use.
About devices, here in the Pacific Northwest, it seems to be based on whether one is a woman, or a 'creative' type being extremely likely to be iPhone users and this seems to be pretty stable across most of Canada according to my telecom 'sources'. I never mentioned my friends, my observations are based the people I know who range from adolescents to the aged and span all but the most extremes of the economic spectrum and live in all manner abodes from country to downtown condo. So demographic, yes, location, not so much.
@ notdavidbailey
Nice, terse (and vice versa).
Beyond that, clever use of arrays and objects combined with localStorage and AppCache cover all but the most extreme use cases for storage, organization, and access of/to data. I find it odd that the people who have trouble using SQL as a server DB are the same ones who try to replicate it inside the browser/client environment.
Samsung is a huge company with lots of divisions.
It's not a Samsung chip any more than the iPhone is a Foxconn product. They are just the people who build it.
Anyone can make ICs.
>Anyone can make ICs.
Perhaps, but how many companies can competitively build a 28nm hi-K chip in volume? Last I checked somewhere in the 5-10 range and delivery can be spotty.
"Yeah, that's probably why Apple are being aggressive patent trolls, to give Samsung free advertising."
Of course that's not what Apple *intended* Cliff, but that's what they *did*
When the ban on the first Galaxy Tab was lifted in Australia everyone knew about the tablet before they could sell it - far far better than Samsung could have done themselves.
Just like the court action against Microsoft all those years ago for "stealing Apple's interface". Coverage of the court action basically equated the interface of Windows with Mac in the eyes of the public, even if there are significant differences. People looked at 2 computers, saw one was half the price and in their minds the interface must be so similar the more expensive one sued the cheaper one.
But shhh don't tell Apple, its far too much fun watching them hand over mind share in court rooms while they think they are getting a win :-)
Bingo, good sir, have an up-vote and a virtual beer on me!
Bad luck, where I work the first lot of smart phones were all androids (almost all Samsungs of various sorts), but the sucked sooo bad that the next updates everyone had a choice, iPhone or Droid, and we went 100% iPhone. So the latest update, with samples to test, 98% iPhone again. Maybe you should work somewhere with better discrimination ?
Then it can't be a html5 compliant browser you are using, android and apple devices certainly support local databases as do the major desktop browsers.
Badder luck. Where I work the first lot of smart phones were all iPHones but with no cut and paste or mms the sucked soooooooooo bad that the next updates everyone had a choice, iPHone or droid and we went 110% android. So the latest update, with samples to test, 130% android again. Maybe you should just post badly constructed nonsense you make up?
'If they were feeling frustrated at all of apples patent trolling and attempting to screw then over at every turn, they could have such fun with the chip fab.'
Has anyone with an electron microscope to hand looked for any rude messages about Apple on the silicon?
Yeah, that's probably why Apple are being aggressive patent trolls, to give Samsung free advertising. That, and in an attempt to legally injunct sales of Samsung phone in the USA...but probably more to give them 'free' (as in expensive international lawyer time) advertising, sure.
I don't think he implied that it was intentional on Apple's part...
I have no love for biometrics reading hardware in the devices I buy.
You fear the knock on the door do you not!
It won't be long before pretty well all mobile phones will sport a fingerprint reader. You had better buy a raft of phones now because in the future you won't have the option.
Reports on the web say that you can use any appropriate ridged surface (big toe or even cat's pawprints), so just bring kitty around with you.
If you are truly paranoid, copy somebody else's prints and bring a copy of them around on a jelly baby. Gives plausible deniability and a delicious snack in one!
5S speed is great but not battery life. Try iphone 6 maybe.
I seem to remember the same complaints when IOS5 came out. A fix or two later and they were forgotten. Perhaps the same will happen here?
When Apple dropped the number from the iPad and called it "the new iPad", isn't it about time they call the iPhone just "the new iPhone"? We NEED confusion!
Glue in the battery, screw the customer when it has to be replaced.
Glue in the battery, screw the customer when it has to be replaced.
'Tis the Apple way!!
I still cant figure why the battery has to be glued in .....
are the iphone designers scared it may come loose during use?
or does removing the battery make the phone crash or reset or something?
Or is it just to f*** the customer over?
after all, glue costs money and time to apply it. They could save that money by not bothering, but then they wouldn't be able to ding their customers for a whole new phone, would they?
I have had numerous interactions with apple, via their stores, and have only felt valued, and well looked after.
I don't think they are changing their policy.
have only felt valued, and well looked after.
I don't go to stores to feel valued, but to get value. Apple products are significantly lacking in that area.
and drive a big car so people think I'm someone special.
Another trollfest from El Reg. Why do so many who apparently don't care rush to leave vituperative comments?
If you hate it that much, buy something else - or do you believe that anyone whose views are different to yours is deserving of abuse?
Oh the irony. "If you hate it that much, buy something else - or do you believe that anyone whose views are different to yours is deserving of abuse?"
You obviously do.
First sentence: "Another trollfest from El Reg."
Not at all Old Lad
A collection of ill-thought out comments which basically say nothing is nothing more than a trollfest. I am perfectly happy for others to hold views which oppose those I hold - and I respect those views.
I find it hard to summon up much respect for those who leave juvenile "Yar boo sucks-Apple are all stinkypoos" comments.
My first comment "Another trollfest from El Reg." is perfectly valid and it is not their holding different views which I find tiresome, but the immaturity of the third-form manner in which they're expressed.
Clear now?
indeed, its the only reason I read apple articles and comments.
And it's the reason I don't bother reading Reg all that much anymore, and very rarely the comments.
I make an exception this time, and guess what - nothing changed, and in fact seems to have only gotten more puerile.
Why is it that any article on an iPhone immediately draws in comments from people whose only contribution is "I prefer Samsung"? Seriously, this crap has been going on since the Spectrum and Commodore 64. If other people want to spend their cash on stuff that doesn't appeal to you does it really invalidate your own purchasing decisions?
