Strong May job gains in the South Bay's tech sector cemented Silicon Valley's leading role in the economic recovery of the Bay Area and California, a state report released Friday shows.
The unemployment rate in Santa Clara County dropped from 9.9 percent in April to 9.7 percent in May, the state Employment Development Department reported. That's the lowest it has been in more than two years.
San Mateo County's unemployment rate remained at 8.1 percent. It was the sixth straight month that county's jobless rate has been below what it was the year before. The county consistently enjoys one of the lowest jobless rates in the state.
The valley's computer and electronic products manufacturing sector still has to gain back some 70,000 jobs to reach levels it enjoyed during the dot-com boom. But the smaller information sector, which includes Internet service providers, Web portals and data processors, surpassed its dot-com job level in May, with about 48,000 jobs.
The growth in tech hiring has rapidly expanding companies scrambling to find increasingly scarce engineering talent, and starting to add personnel in sales and marketing.
"The local economy is in a hyper-growth phase," said Scott Schwarzhoff, vice president of developer relations and marketing at Appcelerator.
In October, Appcelerator, which makes a popular mobile development platform, had 17 employees. It now has 70 and plans to add 50 more this year, said Schwarzhoff. It has moved twice, and is now in a 25,000-square-foot building in Mountain View.
Companies in mobile, social, cloud and "contextware," are drawing on an "increasingly tighter and tighter pool of talent," Schwarzhoff said. The demand is drawing people to the valley from out of state and from other countries, he said.
What the valley is seeing in company growth is unique, said Tim Guleri, managing partner of Sierra Ventures, which has invested in Appcelerator.
"It's never been the case that there have been three billion-dollar-plus markets that have been created simultaneously," he said. The leaders in these markets — mobile, social and cloud computing — "are just exploding" with both revenue and demand from customers. "That's what's causing hiring needs and the growth," he said.
Nonfarm job growth
The San Jose metro area added 1,900 nonfarm jobs in May, much of that growth in the computer, computer software and Internet industries. The total nonfarm growth is less than the 21-year average for May, but the upward trend in tech is clear.
The tech-heavy professional and business-services sector grew by 1,100 jobs, well above its average 400-job gain from April to May in the previous 21 years, the EDD said.
Lee-Anne Farley, director of talent acquisition at San Leandro-based TriNet, a national human resources outsourcing company, expects the demand for talent to continue for the rest of the year.
That puts job seekers in the driver's seat.
"The potential talent out there is being incredibly choosy," she said.
Brad Kemp of Beacon Economics said the Bay Area is leading the state out of the aftereffects of the recession, with soaring demand for the high-tech products it makes.
But many of those products, such as computers and software, allow employers to hire fewer people, he said, adding to a complex job picture in which some technology workers are in high demand and other unemployed people are still struggling to find good jobs again.
The valley is more than 200,000 jobs short of where nonfarm employment was at the peak of the dot-com boom and 88,300 unemployed people are actively looking for work.
Kemp said the San Jose metro area — which combines San Benito and Santa Clara counties — showed a slight dip in jobs from April to May when the data is adjusted for seasonal variations in hiring. But that dip follows eight consecutive months of employment gains, he said.
"I think what we're seeing is a rebound. We're seeing above-average growth."
Gains on the Peninsula
The San Francisco metro area, which includes San Mateo County, saw gains in the area's large leisure and hospitality industry, while construction eked out a small gain for the second month in a row.
California shed 29,200 jobs in May, but its unemployment rate fell to 11.7 percent from a revised 11.8 percent in April.
That was the largest job loss in the nation, but Kemp said the long-term trends are toward an increasing numbers of jobs.
"Don't be fooled," he said — April's reported gain of 8,900 jobs has been revised upward to 14,900 jobs. "There's a battle going on between those industries and areas that haven't turned the corner, and others that have," he said. "We get the net results."
Contact Pete Carey at 408-920-5419.
Soaring: The information sector surpassed the number of jobs it had during the peak of the dot-com bubble. Companies in information management computing are vying for scarce talent.
Lagging: Computer and electronic products manufacturing is still 70,000 jobs shy
of the dot-com era.

By Estil Fretwell and Margaret Fretwell
Missouri Farm Bureau
While going through some old family papers, I came across a short story written 40 years ago by my mom, Margaret. As background, our family farm is in northeast Missouri where success in growing soybeans after a harvested wheat crop is extremely uncertain due to the shorter growing season and unpredictable rainfall. We all know that were Mother Nature is involved, there are always risks. But the memories of being raised on a family farm are special and the rewards as sweet and as simple as a gold-colored sofa.
I never will forget the summer of '72. That was the year I got my new sofa.
The crops were all in and the corn laid by, rather early this year. Yet, there was one field left, looking very empty and lonely, as if we had passed it by.
We had just harvested the wheat crop off the field and noticed the clover, or undercrop, didn't survive the winter as the spring was so dry.
Being farmers, nothing must be wasted. We each took a tractor and away we went to the empty field.
We plowed. We disked. We planted. We then sat back and waited.
It was late, but if everything went right we would have a crop.
Well, the rains came just the right time in late summer and we watched it grow. What excitement! There never was or never will be a field so loved and so watched as that bean crop.
Sure enough, beans started forming and stretching and waving their heads, as if to say "watch me, I can do it." And watch it we did. Each day we could see them grow and mature. Right then we decided the profits from this one special field were to be "mama's."
Our little orange Allis-Chalmers combine stood gassed and ready for the right moment to harvest our special bean crop. Of course, it was late.
All eyes were on the market as the time approached.
We kidded with the ferry man who would ferry us across the muddy Mississippi to the grain elevator. We joked with the elevator man and said the market just had to go up for that one load of beans.
The market price then was $2.94 a bushel; but, believe it or not, the day I drove over with my precious load the market went up nine cents a bushel to $3.03. The highest of the year and lasted only one day.
Everyone in the county knew of the adventure, it seemed, and were wondering what "mama" would spend the money for. There always seemed to be so many places for the "extra" money, and with three children to educate, somehow we always learned to make do.
This was different. This was mine, and I wanted a new sofa. It had to be a special sofa. One I had always dreamed of.
I found it!
It was a gold queen-size sofa-bed with a bright flowered design just waiting for me to claim it. And claim it I did. It has since held a prominent place in our sitting room, waiting to be used and enjoyed. It has been opened many times for overnight guests of family and friends. The bed is always made.
Won't you come by some time and try it out? You are all most cordially welcome to try out "mama's sofa."

ECU downs Evansville to advance to CIT final
Posted March 30, 2013
Greenville, N.C. — East Carolina had been to Division I postseason play four times prior to 2013 and never won a game.
The Pirates evened up their postseason ledger and earned their fourth straight win Saturday night with an 81-58 victory over Evansville in the CIT semifinals to advance to Tuesday night's championship game.
ECU will play at the winner of the semifinal game between Northern Iowa and Weber State. The CBS Sports Network will televise the game at 8 p.m. ET.
The Pirates (23-12) had three players post a double-double led by senior Maurice Kemp, who scored 20 points for the eighth-consecutive game. Kemp finished with 20 points and 11 rebounds, Robert Sampson added 13 and 11, while Miguel Paul scored 19 points and handed out 11 assists. Ty Armstrong also scored double figures, netting 17 points.
Paul distributed his 228, 229 and 230th assists of his career to break Brock Young's ECU single-season record of 227.
"That's maybe the best we've played all year. We played terrific tonight. We had a lot of energy. Defensively we were alert, and did a great job at all spots.
Colt Ryan, who ranked 13th in the nation in scoring with 20.4 points per game, was limited to just 12 points by the ECU defense. Ryan was just 3 of 10 from the floor, including 0 for 4 behind the arc.
"We made it really tough on Ryan tonight," Lebo said. "Paris (Roberts-Campbell) was terrific. I thought he was outstanding, and he was exhausted at the end of the game. Two times during the game he gave me a tired signal from having to defend him."
Paul ignited the sell-out crowd by drilling a 3 to open the game as the Pirates scored eight of the game's first 10 points.
The Purple Aces (21-15) pulled within one at 9-8 and then East Carolina flexed its muscle. The Pirates went on a 22-7 run over a 7:19 stretch to take a 16-point lead, 31-15.
Sampson started the run with a dunk then Kemp scored six straight points forcing UE to call timeout. Paul nailed back-to-back 3s out of the timeout before capping the run with a pair of free throws.
The Pirates limited Evansville to 25.6 percent shooting in the opening half, while connecting on 50 percent of their field goal attempts en route to a 40-26 halftime lead.
The lead grew to 20 inside the first three minutes of the second half and then ballooned to 25 on a dunk worthy of ESPN SportsCenter's Top Plays by Kemp, who threw down over 6-foot-10 Egidijus Mockevicius, sending Pirate fans into a frenzy and Twitter a buzz.
Evansville made a run to get within 16 with 5:41 left, but the Pirates scored nine unanswered to thwart any comeback the Aces may have had in mind.
ECU finished the game shooting 55.4 percent from the floor, it second-best shooting percentage of the season, while holding the Aces to just 31.8 percent.
While its 3-point attempts weren't falling, the Pirates used their size and strength to score 48 points in the paint along with their speed and quickness to convert nine UE turnovers into 20 points.

Last Sunday, "Game of Thrones" returned to HBO for its second season of what many fans hope will be a long run that will completely adapt George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" novels. And that hope may not be far from a reality.
The second season premiere of "Game of Thrones" brought in 3.9 million viewers for its initial showing at 9pm, posting a series record 3.9 million viewers which was up 27% from the first season finale last June. It was also had a 74% increase in viewers compared to the "Game of Thrones" series premiere in April 2011. More impressively, the three showings of the season two premiere brought in a combined 6.3 million viewers.
With ratings that strong, most observers believe that "Game of Thrones" is a lock for season 3. The only question is whether HBO wants to capitalize on the early excitement and make an announcement now or wait until later in the season. The only way that a third season of "Game of Thrones" would be imperiled is if there is a massive viewer erosion over the next few weeks. But judging from the critical and popular response to the season premiere, that doesn't seem likely to happen.
It's also worth noting that the second season premiere of "Game of Thrones" outperformed the season highs of "Boardwalk Empire" and the recently canceled "Luck," easily making "Game of Thrones" one of the network's biggest hits.
If and when "Game of Thrones" returns for its third season, executive producers David Benioff and D.B. Weiss have recently indicated that the third year of the show will partially adapt the third novel in Martin's series, "A Storm of Swords," with the remainder of the novel left for a potential fourth season,
What did you think about the "Game of Thrones" season premiere? Let us know in the comment section below!

Few questions: 1. What do you mean by a "Tomcat context"? The HDFS core daemons (NN, DN, SNN, etc.) use Jetty to deploy their HTTP servlets, not Tomcat. 2. Did you run a build on your install and are using a built classpath instead of the installed one? In any case, if your problem is specific to CDH packages, please send your mail with more details on your packages/setup instead to firstname.lastname@example.com (https://groups.google.com/a/cloudera.org/forum/?fromgroups=#!forum/cdh-user).

Scale and Transaction Costs in the U.S. Biopower Industry
With increasing interest in renewable energy from agriculture, including biopower and cellulose ethanol, there is a need for better understanding of the economic organization of this emerging industry. Study of the organization of the biopower industry represents an under-researched area and a new application of transaction cost theory to an emerging industry.Refinement of the theory can also result from challenging applications. This article provides an application of transaction cost economics to the existing United States biopower industry while challenging the empirical convention of excluding production cost variables from transaction cost analysis. Utilizing survey data from 53 biopower generators we study the relationship between physical asset specificity, site specificity, and scale in explaining firms' decisions to procure inputs internally, externally, or to use both methods. Consistent with transaction cost theory, both site specificity and scale are good predictors of organizational form. Given this evidence, this article reconsiders the impact of scale and transaction costs on the choice of organizational from.

The Evolution of the Marketing Concept
Definitions are part of marketing management texts and courses; however, some representatives of the social and humanistic sciences tend to regard them cautiously. The simple definition of a process is a discipline in itself (Heilbrun, 1996), which leaves open a lot of alternatives. The concern that marketing definitions could be contested can be quickly dispelled if we refer to the fact that it is an academic field, at the same time the concern for defining this field persisted over approximately 80 years.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess
Review by general531
"Another instant classic for the Gamecube"
About once or twice a year, I play a game that makes my jaw literally drop to the floor. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is one of those games. I can tell you right now this game is just perfect. Every little thing is done just right. When you play this game, you will have to agree that you are playing one of the best video games EVER.
Beautiful, splendid, and thought-provoking are at best understatements. I just can't come up with the words to describe just how gorgeous the graphics look. The visuals do a great job of pushing the Game-cube hardware to its limits and the motion capture, as well as the scenery, is rich in quality. Most of Link's motions are life-like and make you feel that you are looking at real-life individuals instead of computer-generated images images. Speaking of the character appearances, almost every character and every creature is completely re-designed. The visual effects are finely tuned and does not over-exaggerate the action. The visuals inside the caves and dungeons are fitting for the mood inside of them. The lighting effects are also perfectly done. The only minuscule flaw to the graphics is that some of the textures are a little dated, but they are hard to see anyway and when you engage in combat, you won't care at all. Overall, the graphics are just lovely and pushes the Game-cube to its limits. In fact, I didn't know the Cube was capable such graphic beauty.
The controls of the past 3-D Zelda games were fine-tuned, and Twilight Princess is no exclusion. In fact, Nintendo improved on them. The aiming is more precise in this game and the camera stick rotates the camera a little slower so you can get the angle you want without having to swing back.
The controls of wolf Link are intuitive and easy to master. You can, as a wolf, attack and bite your enemies, you can dig up rupees and hearts. Wolf Link call also call-up his partner to help leap from pillar to pillar over deep chasms. Wolf Link can also create an energy field. Any enemies in that field will meet a sad fate.
Speaking of skills, Link learns new sword skills. Some of which include the back-slice and the finisher. All of the new moves Link learns are easy to master and will be second nature.
The controls of Link's horse are also intuitive, but horseback combat will take some time to master. The jump control is nicely done.
Overall the controls are just perfect and when you get everything mastered, enemies better start praying now.
Game Design:
The Zelda formula that worked for so many of its games returns in Twilight Princess. Exploring every nook and cranny in towns, all of the countryside, and the dungeons will take hours, maybe even months of your life. In fact, Nintendo put a stronger emphasis on the exploration. You will need to find five pieces of heart to make a full heart container. You will need to find golden bugs to find larger wallets. You will need to acquire poe souls to free a man from his curse. Nintendo not only stayed with the winning Zelda formula, but also expanded it.
The terrain has been completely redesigned and each province will have its own special terrain feature. One province will have hills and prairies, while another province will have a giant chasm. The terrain does have an effect on exploration and combat, pending on which province you are in.
Now the key of the game, the Twilight Realm. I have a good feeling that this is what the Dark World in "A Link to the Past" would have looked like. The realm will give you a sense of fright.
The secondary screens have also been altered. Case in point: the Item Screen. No longer do you have to pause to access items. You press up on the D-Pad to bring up your items. You can either cycle through your items or directly select them.
Speaking of items, many of your items return but you will find new ones as well. Some of the new items include the Gale Boomerang, which will put out fires, necessary for solving puzzles. Another new item is the Water Bomb. Unlike regular bombs, these work underwater.
Just like it was with Ocarina of Time and Wind Waker, music plays an intricate role. Link will encounter howling stones in this game. These stones will howl a melody. Wolf Link will need to howl back the tune. This is done with the A button and the control stick. The purpose is to find golden wolves to learn new sword techniques.
Many of the new items are executed perfectly, the terrain is varied and vast, wolf Link fits the game play just fine. Nintendo designed this game beautifully and I didn't expect anything less. In fact, it was more than I expected.
Once again, the audio in the Zelda games doesn't disappoint. The sound effects are spot-on and doesn't overemphasize. The sound of metal clanging with metal, the bubbling of lava, the hooves of your horse on the surface, whether it be on grass, dirt, or rock, is executed perfectly.
The voice acting is also one of the games very scant and minuscule flaws. Don't get me wrong, though. The voice acting is satisfactory; there just isn't enough of it. You will get to hear Link's grunts, but there is no spoken word of dialogue. You do get to hear voices of other characters to get a sense of emotions, though.
The music is just stunning. The orchestra outdid itself with the soundtrack. I think the soundtrack should be available at retail. That is how good it is. Many new tunes are introduced in this game but Zelda veterans will recognize older ones. The music fits well in certain environments and locations, In other words, the music represents the environment and situation. My only gripe with the music is the lack of the original Zelda theme. I love the over-world theme in this game, but I want a nostalgia trip sometimes. Nevertheless, the soundtrack is majestic and one of the best in video game history.
The story is deep and features plot twists. I found myself playing the game frequently just to find out what happens next. If you put an emphasis on story, this game is a great choice. I am glad to tell you this because the Zelda franchise usually focuses on game-play more than the story. The storyline is engaging and will keep you playing constantly.
I am just floored with The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The graphics are life-like, the control is easy to master, the terrain is vast and varied, the plot is well-written, the audio is well-done, and the overall design exceeded my expectations. Twilight Princess was worth the numerous delays and is a fitting finale for the Game-cube. There is no reason not to buy this classic gem, either for the Game-cube or Wii. Everything is fine-tuned and you are given vast amounts of territory to explore, hone your combat skills, ride your horse, and to look at the beautiful scenery. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess is just a magnificent game that Nintendo perfectly crafted and should be considered one of the best games ever.
Rent or Buy:
Buy this game. Doesn't matter which version, just buy it. You will not be disappointed I assure you.
Which version should I buy?
It depends on you. The Wii version has better aiming precision with the Wii-mote, but sword combat will take time to master. The aiming isn't as precise on the Game-cube version, but the sword combat is easy to master. Outside of the controls, there isn't much difference between the two versions, but the graphics are reflected from each other. For example, if you have to go east at a point in the Wii version, you will go west in the Game-cube version. Either way, both versions are worth buying
Score: 10 out of 10 and my highest recommendation

mastercard and american express have been testing swipeless credit cards in cities across the country. the technology, similar to exxon mobil's speedpass, would enable consumers to merely wave their credit card near a reader to pay for a transaction, bypassing the handing over or swiping of the card. the credit card companies are looking at ways to make paying by credit card even easier–and safer, they say.
the technology does not use batteries; rather, the rfid transmitters in the credit card devices are engaged when the cards get close to a reader. also, in the spirit of cooperation, it appears that the major credit card companies are working together to provide a standard, enabling consumers to use their devices just about anywhere. mastercard is expecting to roll its paypass system out sometime in 2004.
read the associated press article for more info, including security measures to combat rfids' security weaknesses.
christopher's opinion
maybe i am old and silly, but i never got speedpass. it didn't seem that much different than using the external card reader, and neither does this. what happens if i get too close when the person ahead of me is checking out?
i'm not a high school girl, either; i like my keychain simple. house key, car key/remote, and key fob for work–that's it. i even hate the grocery store tags that go on there; all it does is junk it up. i don't want all my credit cards on my key chain, and if they are in my wallet what's the difference?
you want to do something great? you want a million dollar idea? (just promise to share a little with me when you hit it big–and i don't mean a simple postcard, navin johnson.) give me the card for everything. that's right, one card. it keeps track of my subway stamps, grocery store numbers, credit card numbers, and even my movie rental numbers. it has a smart chip that remembers everything, and i can look up all my junk online. it knows if i have 7 out of 10 cacti punched at my local mexican restaurant so i know when i get a free burrito.
it knows everything, and lets my choose my method of payment so i don't need to carry around 20 stupid cards. it is hack-proof, compliant with industry standards, accepted everywhere, requires a .5 second thumbprint scan before use … and i can even put a picture of my daughter on it.
do that and you might have something. swipeless? that's just another annoyance.

|it has to be said (11:45am est tue dec 16 2003)
do i even need to point out the ease of abuse that this opens up? at least with a credit card, you have to have it physically in the reader. with this, what is stopping someone from having an rf reader hidden in their coat wandering around the mall collecting credit card numbers? forget them bumping into you and stealing your wallet. they just need to walk past. – by m@
|great idea… (11:47am est tue dec 16 2003)
when the mobil speedpass came out i thought it was a great idea. mobil even seemed to be running with its success for a little while and its acceptance began to grow. however, now after several years it has gone nowhere, it just seemed to die on the vine.
i got a speedpass and find it great if i am at a mobil, or esso in canada station. however, the same proximity device with greater acceptance will quickly replace the speedpass.
don't worry about paying for the person ahead of you in the line, these devices require very close proximity to the reader.
overall, its seem speedpass dropped the ball here, and now the big boys, visa and master card, are going to take it and run with it. – by businessgeek
|one card for everything? (12:03pm est tue dec 16 2003)
i am sure they would love to issue one card to replace all cards, as it will then provide them with a record of everything you do, where to shop, what you buy, how frequent to buy. think big brother.
they can then sell details about your shopping habbit to just about every junk mailers in the world – snail mail and email.
as for the standing too close to the person in front. suits you right for invading their personal space. i hate people standing too close to me when i'm paying for something. beside, i'm sure they can work out a way of limiting the range of the readers. – by rh
|well (12:30pm est tue dec 16 2003)
i think you pretty much have to press the speed pass up against the reader, it doesn't engage just by walking by it.
also rh, if you think big brother doesn't know about your shopping habits, think again. ever hear of a credit report? one card, many cards, they know exactly what you spend and earn … and about that overdue book back in grade 6.
as for convenience and simplicity, for the most part our society is just a bunch of lazy idiots. anything that can get them home quicker in time for jerry springer, or doesn't require remembering their pin number 1234, or order their buritos faster is probably the dream of 90% of people out their, which is why people spend the big bucks to implement it. – by topher
|what a clown (12:50pm est tue dec 16 2003)
hey topher when you are calling all of us idiots you might want to get your spelling correct. "buritos" what the hell is that? – by lbs
|what about what the bible said… (12:55pm est tue dec 16 2003)
"and he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads:
and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
so christopher you want one number or one card for everything. are you so sure you want to go down this road? not me. – by me

just need swipeless toilet paper and i'm set! – by __
|re:me (2:02pm est tue dec 16 2003)
i never quite understood the sin in "the mark." what makes one method of payment a "sin" over another method? there would have to be something underlying it completely that made it absolutely horrible, don't you think? – by bobby
|surely they come … (2:20pm est tue dec 16 2003)
the moo cows, the chew cows,

unless the 5 above are required all at once, dont expect better security. – by eric_protector
|re:bobby (2:56pm est tue dec 16 2003)
it's not the sin in the mark that is as relevant as the meaning. (which the meaning implies the sin) by taking the mark, you are submitting to satan himself, in the form of the antichrist.
and why do you think we don't see the news covered with info about this stuff?
the best example is the frog and the pot of boiling water. slowly, you turn up the heat until the frog realizes it's cooking and it's too late he's already cooked.
and that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name."
so christopher you want one number or one card for everything. are you so sure you want to go down this road? not me. – by me
|question (2:56pm est tue dec 16 2003)
if you have to press it right up to the reader, what's the benefit of not swiping the card? there isn't one. idiotic idea. – by bleh
|re:bobby (3:00pm est tue dec 16 2003)
i don't think the mark itself is the point, rather it will be a symbol that you have accepted the philosphy of whatever entity is in power at the time.
i agree that there would have to be some underlying reason that christians would be expected not to support it, but who knows what that reason is going to be? we are not there yet. this is just setting the stage. – by m@

|give it a try… (3:53pm est tue dec 16 2003)
1. i had a job that gave us all a speedpass so that we could put any gas we used for business purposes on one account. at first, i was thinking the same thing that many of you were thinking. "how does that make it easier than getting your card out and swiping it?" one you begin to use it, believe it or not, it is quite convenient. as i'm sure many are thinking right now, more convenience equals less security. my next (obvious) point is that "more convenience equals more needed training/knowledge." any way you slice it, the more we want to add convenience, the more we will need to know (and implement) about the technology that adds said convenience.
– by -observant
|re: observant (4:47pm est tue dec 16 2003)
please explain how pulling out your keys and using a speedpass is more convenient than just dipping a company issued card. is it more convenient for tracking down the guy that says "hey, since it's all charged to one account they have no way of knowing i'm the one using it for my personal car"?
ok, you have to wait for it to be authorized and sign the slip. that's just how much places operate. ever been to a wendy's drive thru? they take debit and credit cards now. the swipe the card, and hand it right back to you in a matter of seconds, nothing to sign. i wonder if they have some sort of permanent connection to the approval systems. – by bleh
|hmmmmm (6:24pm est tue dec 16 2003)
i use two rfid cards for work, and i have to say, they are great.
instead of getting within 5 meters of a door i have to open with my card, and it being opened, the card has to be places a few centimeters away from the reader for the door to activate (and me get inside to work).
the range is greatly reduced if the key is in your wallet (you have to actually press your wallet to the reader to get the door open), so if anyone is afraid of driving on a highway and they pass a bank on the other side that is at least 50 meters from the highway, don't be afraid of money spewing out of your account, because it won't happen.
with rfid for credit cards, it's be great to see them bring in thumb print id plates, plus keeping the pin system in place.
rfid's are alot more conveniant than metallic keys and tumbler locks, they don't loose their magnetic stripes like normal credit cards, and they don't give your hip cancer.
|long range rfid reader (8:34pm est tue dec 16 2003)
i have little doubt that with a few months' work and a few hundred dollars to spend at radio shack, i could build a rfid transceiver powerful enough to grab the credit card numbers of everyone within several hundred feet.
no important information should ever be stored in an rfid tag.
a farady wallet would be nice, but the second you take the card out of it, any number of criminals will have your cc#.
– by ab
|re: ab (8:08am est wed dec 17 2003)
i doubt radio shack has all the parts. they seem to be getting away from that type of electronics. i have to order pics caps and resistors from other supliers. but if you are succesful post it on a site somewere. that kind of shit is cool
rfid + biometrics could work?????? – by p.s.r

September 25 2017 Latest news:
Tuesday, January 15, 2013
Over 400 children from across the whole of Devon will meet to compete in a range of sports and activities representing a number of School Games areas – East Devon, St Luke's, Plymouth and Dartmoor School Sports Partnerships, West Devon and Torbay Sport Partnership.
This is by far the largest Ability Games event to date and organisers have been delighted by the take up from the pupils.
Annabel Allen, School Games Coordinator at Active Devon said: "The School Games programme has been running since last year. We have already held five competitions involving over 5,000 young people, two of those events were Ability School Games events. Both were very successful and have increased participant numbers each time."
Children will be competing at rowing, football and tennis and will represent schools from across the whole county. They will also have the opportunity to try a range of sports such as table cricket, tri-golf, badminton, indoor athletics and bowls.
A cultural competition is also taking place on the day for young Poets to write a Paralympic-inspired poem.
The games aim to celebrate youth sport and the work that goes on to encourage our youngsters to be more active. They also provide an important level of challenges for children competing below county standard as well as fostering good links and co-operation between schools, clubs and the different areas of Devon.
A survey carried out by the Sport and Recreation Alliance to capture the opinion of sports clubs in the aftermath of the Olympic anc Paralympic Games says that nine in 10 clubs reported no change in the number of people with disabilities joining their club.
The results came from the Alliance's snapshot legacy survey, which gathered the responses of 475 respondents and was weighted to represent the 150,000 sports clubs across the UK.
However, the English Federation of Disability Sport (EFDS) responded, highlighting the great initial success of the Paralympic Games to generate massive interest.
As the EFDS point out in their response "eight out of ten disabled people said that they were 'considering' taking part in sport." The British Paralympic Association (BPA) response was similar "There has been a 200 per cent increase in enquiries," highlighting the need for sports clubs, venues and activity providers to be open and accessible to all.

"I think there are [gay players] right now, and if they're looking for a window to just come out, I mean, now is the window. My view on it is, yes, I am a Christian, but to each his own. You do what you want to do. If some Christians want to look at being gay as a sin, then thinking about other women, committing adultery—or any of those other sins that are in the Bible—those are sins, too. And God looks at all of us the same way."

It's British Pie Week - as if we need a reason to celebrate all things pie. I admit that I'm a bit leery of making my own pastry, but this weekend I intend to set aside time to practice the art. Epi has some pie-making videos that walk you through pastry 101, so I've no excuse. (And if I have to eat pie after pie in my quest for perfection, so be it.)
All of which leads to the question: What are the best pies? I'm partial to dessert, so sweet pies top my list. I am tempted with the Beef and Curry Pie, though, so might try that, and a veggie pie is a great way to use up leftovers or whatever looks good in the produce aisle that day.
Here, five delicious pie recipes to try:
Sour Cream Apple Pie (my Epi favorite)
Bourbon-Orange Pecan Pie with Bourbon Cream (OMG)
Lattice-Topped Strawberry-Rhubarb Pie (Tanya Steel put me in the mood for rhubarb this week...)
Beef and Curry Pie (who can resist that flaky pastry and hearty winter filling?)
Farmland Vegetable Pie (this is an easy all-in-one dinner)
Still hungry? Check out Epi's 3,200+ pie recipes.
What's your favorite pie? Do you make your own crust or go with store-bought?

In this engaging audiobook, Jeremy Black argues that technology neither acts as an independent variable nor operates without major limitations. This includes its capacity to obtain end results, as technology's impact is far from simple and its pathways are by no means clear. After considering such key conceptual points, Black discusses important technological advances in weaponry and power projection from sailing warships to aircraft carriers, muskets to tanks, balloons to unmanned drones - in each case, taking into account what difference these advances made.
He addresses not only firepower, but also power projection and technologies of logistics, command, and control. Examining military technologies in their historical context and the present centered on the revolution in Military Affairs and Military Transformation, Black then forecasts possible future trends.
"Clear, concise, and thoughtful. An eminently readable synthesis of historical literature on technology and war...with analyses of the limitations of the impact of technology on warfare." (John France, author of Perilous Glory: The Rise of Western Military Power)
"An interesting, thought-provoking work by a major military historian...whose depth and wide range of knowledge across the entire sweep of world military history is without parallel.... Those who read this book closely will be richly rewarded for it is a mine of useful information and grist for discussion." (Spencer C. Tucker, author of The Great War, 1914 -1918)

text: I see teflon tape mentioned vaguely in a few posts but I can't seem 2 find any direct answers. I see it mostly used during BKT's but can it be used other times than that? Just for regular straightening? What are the benefits of teflon tape vs. ceramic or other plates by themselves? Is it really sticky like duct tape/does it mess up the actual flat iron plates when it is pulled off? Is it for heat protection or smoother results? Does it do any damage to hair? do you replace the tape every time you flat iron or leave it up there? Do many ppl even use it? A lot of questions but I can't find a good sum of info on it, even on google. Ppl say they use it but don't say why. Any info would be great. Thanks!!

Watercolor and gouache over graphite
In this richly colored sheet, Doré focuses on the play of light filtered through the crowns of beech trees. Subtly varied tones of watercolor describe the glowing light on the upper portions of the trunks. Below, deep hues and touches of blue gouache suggest the murky shadows and cool, damp atmosphere in the heart of a dense forest interior, beyond the sun's rays. The low vantage point and the vertical format of the sheet emphasize the height of the trees and suggest the forest's endless depths.

How can the pharmaceutical industry be enticed to make drugs and vaccines for infectious diseases that sicken or kill billions of people worldwide, yet offer little in the way of economic returns? Senior policy officials outlined strategies last week at a meeting sponsored by the Institute for Global Health in San Francisco. Meanwhile, President Clinton signaled his interest in launching an initiative aimed at narrowing the seemingly intractable gap in health between rich and poor countries, and last week a bill was introduced into the U.S. Senate that would incorporate many of the meeting's suggestions.
Pharmaceutical companies already have the scientific knowledge and tools they need to develop drugs and vaccines for scourges like malaria, AIDS, and tuberculosis. What's more, such drugs could save millions of lives and spur economic development in poor countries, said the panel, which included representatives from the White House, the U.S. Congress, the World Health Organization, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, and pharmaceutical giants GlaxoWellcome and Merck. Yet these diseases attract minimal attention from the pharmaceutical industry because executives don't see a market. And even when effective drugs are available--such as the cocktail of AIDS drugs that has slashed mortality in wealthy countries--they may be too expensive for countries in Africa and Asia.
The solution, according to the panel, lies in a package of incentives that would make it worthwhile for the pharmaceutical and biotech industries to step in. One approach is for governments and multilateral organizations to push research and development by subsidizing part of the huge costs, either directly or through tax breaks. Another is to assure companies of a future market--for instance, by establishing "purchase funds" and agreeing to buy certain quantities of a product once it becomes available. The panel also lauded partnerships in which publicly funded scientists work together with industry, such as the recently created Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), as a way to speed drug discovery and development.
The Global Health Forum's approach has already found a receptive ear in Washington. In his State of the Union address, President Clinton announced a $50 million U.S. contribution to GAVI, as well as a tax credit of up to $1 billion for companies investing in new vaccines for malaria, AIDS, and TB. A delegation from the Global Health Forum was scheduled to meet with Clinton this week to present their findings and discuss Clinton's proposals, which are "absolutely on the right track," says Richard Feachem, who directs the Institute for Global Health.
Meanwhile, Senator John Kerry (D-MA) introduced an ambitious bill, dubbed the Vaccines for the New Millennium Act, on 24 February. Kerry proposed to "change the death spiral" by making childhood immunization "a major goal of U.S. foreign policy." His bill calls for donations of $150 million to GAVI and $30 million to the International AIDS Vaccine Initiative. It also proposes several tax credits for industry and a purchase fund to buy and distribute vaccines as soon as they are approved. To cover the cost, Kerry is asking Congress to set aside $100 million a year for the next 10 years. The political fate of these plans is uncertain. Even so, Feachem is encouraged by these and other initiatives in the European Union and Japan. Says Feachem, "The global awareness of this challenge is running at a level which we haven't previously seen."

Pablo Zabaleta: City must improve
Pablo Zabaleta has admitted Manchester City's lamentable away form could end their chances of regaining the title.
• Mooney: City need cure for travel sickness
• Curtis: More points scattered to the four winds
Manuel Pellegrini's team have the only 100 percent home record in the Premier League but have already lost four away games -- at Cardiff, Aston Villa, Chelsea and Sunderland -- and Sunday's 1-0 defeat at the Stadium of Light means they have only taken four points from six games on their travels.
Zabaleta told the Manchester Evening News: "There is a long way to go and we have too many games to the end, but when you lose points like that it will be really difficult to fight for the title."
The Argentina international believes City deserve better results for their performances in away games and is worried that they have conceded 10 goals in their six matches on the road.
He added: "When you look at the games we have played away, we have dominated all of them, but it is true we cannot keep a clean sheet, and when you play away you must defend much better, and try not to concede goals. It's not happening, every time we play away."
City head into the international break in eighth place and Zabaleta, 28, rued a missed opportunity to overtake title rivals Chelsea and Tottenham.
"We are so disappointed," he said. "We had a great chance to reach third position and we knew before the game that Chelsea had dropped points on Saturday, and that Spurs had lost just before us. It was a great chance, but unfortunately we didn't take it."

Fashion Mind Tricks
I think we all know by now that when it comes to fashion, I don't take anything too seriously (or seriously at all for that matter). But if Anna Wintour never smiles, don't we have to all laugh a little on her behalf? I've already talked about funny fashion but today is more about thought provoking clothing and accessories — like, should I put that milk back in the refrigerator or put my lipstick and wallet in it for a night out?

Erm. Many packages need special patching for Debian; filesystem rearrangements, setuid/setgidness, configuration of helper applications (mozilla is a case in point here), and all sorts of other stuff that is about building and maintaining a consistent distribution. I think it's extremely naive to assume that new versions of a package won't change any of these, because, empirically, new versions of a package often do. They also, with monotonous regularity, depend on newer versions of libraries, which also have to be supported. I don't care if upstream declares it stable; I've seen that not in fact be true often enough. >If there is any doubt, we can delay it a week or two, without denying >it from frozen.

Japan coach Alberto Zaccheroni on Thursday brought Kawasaki Frontale midfielder Kengo Nakamura in from the cold for the upcoming 2014 World Cup qualifiers against North Korea and Uzbekistan and also handed Urawa Reds' Genki Haraguchi the chance to make his senior national team debut.
But there was no place in the 23-man squad for Real Mallorca's Akihiro Ienaga and Daisuke Matsui of Dijon, while Inter Milan defender Yuto Nagatomo has been left out as he continues his recovery from a dislocated right shoulder.
Japan kicks off its qualifying campaign for Brazil against North Korea in Saitama on Sept. 2 before traveling to Tashkent to play the Uzbeks in its second Group C game four days later.
Nakamura has not played for the Blue Samurai since winning his 52nd cap in the 0-0 draw with South Korea last October, but Zaccheroni said the 30-year-old deserved to be back in the fold after a series of strong performances in the J. League.
"Nakamura was out of condition for a while but he has come back and shown some quality performances and is sharp both mentally and physically. That is why I have recalled him and he fully deserves it," said the Italian.
"He is a high quality experienced player and is a great passer of the ball and even though he is 30 he is showing that he still has ambition."
Keisuke Honda of CSKA Moscow and Borussia Dortmund's Shinji Kagawa, who scored twice against South Korea in the 3-0 win on his return to the team, were among 12 Europe-based players in the squad but Nagatomo was left out as he has yet to play for Inter since dislocating his shoulder at the end of last month in a preseason friendly against Celtic in Dublin.

In what amounts to a heavy blow to the extreme music community, Hydra Head Records has announced that it will soon be closing up shop. The news of the 20-year-old label's "imminent demise" was revealed in a blog post penned by co-founder and ISIS vocalist/guitarist Aaron Turner.
"Hydra Head Records has never been a smooth-running operation," writes Turner. "We've spent the majority of our existence excitedly scrambling from one thing to the next, taking on more than we could ever possibly hope to achieve, and never quite finding solid footing in the midst of our self-induced whirlwind of chaos."
But the party had to stop some time. Turner goes on to note that Hyrda Head is only the latest casualty felled by the declining fortunes of the music industry at large. "Years of imbalance between creative ideals and financial realities, personal problems amongst the label operators, an unwillingness to compromise our aesthetic standards, a tendency towards releasing challenging (i.e. unmarketable) artists, and the steady decline of the music industry in general, are amongst the chief reasons for our inability to continue."
Turner could not be more right. The label has always been a home to generally unconventional music that found favor with niche audiences. The label has released landmark hardcore albums from the likes of Cave In's Jupiter, Pelican's The Fire In Our Throats Will Beckon The Thaw, and Botch's We Are The Romans over the years. SPIN notes that time had not mellowed the label's taste for the unconventional; Hydra Head currently counts experimental jazz outfit Bohren & der Club of Gore, grindcore band Daughters, and sludge metallers Torche among their artist roster.
The label will continue to operate normally until December, at which point the first phase of the shutdown will begin. The label is also set to offer a number of discounted bundles through their web store as their ceasing of operations gets under way. They will continue to service their back catalog.
Hydra Head is dead. Long live Hydra Head. A sad day indeed for challenging music. R.I.P.

Bale of Hey
Out of the Furnace
Men of Steel Town
Official 'Website' | Trailers & Mo
R | 116 min
There seems to be some kinda minor-renaissance of gritty American shoot-em-up flicks these days. It's like the 70s all over again, cept not really. With the overload of superhero drivel and toy driven babble dominating theaters, this resurgence is a good thing, and change of pace, even if the results have been a little uneven. Take last year's Killing Them Softly – a lil flick trying so hard to be mad hard and mad cool (like Mads Mikkelsen), and make a statement or something, but missed the mark, and bored we to tears. Then there was the The Place Beyond The Pines, which was too much of a good thing, cramming 3 movies into 1, when it probably should have dumped at least one of them, or just been 9 hours of Ryan Gosling riding bikes. And now comes Scott Cooper's Out of The Furnace, which get high marks for acting, attitude, and appearance, but by the time it wraps up, I kinda was like, um, er, uh, that was it? What exactly was all that for?
But hey, where else are you gonna see Christian Bale smolder, with beautiful longerish hair, as an older brother's keeper to misfit troublemaker Casey Affleck (he does his best work when he doesn't open his mouth), and melt the heart Zoe Saldana, and go hunting with uncle Sam Shepard, and listen to Forest Whitaker try to sound like the dude with half a face on Boardwalk Empire, and see who can be more smiley & gruffy & tuffy betweenith Willem Dafoe or Woody Harrelson?????? WHERE ELSE YOU GONNA SEE THIS??? Even if the hunt and be hunted intensity that fills a majority of the film kinda fizzles out at the end, it's gritty good enuff for me, and should be gritty good enuff for you too
Lil tidbit – the film takes place in the steel-mill town of Braddock, Pennsylvania, where a 1941 novel of a similar name – Out of This Furnace – also took place. FURNACE THAT!!!!!!!!!

Utica track athlete wins state championship
By Mark Vest
Posted June 12, 2013
Behind most successful accomplishments, there is usually a story that goes with it.
That is certainly the case for Utica High's Freddie Crittenden, who won a Division 1 track and field state title in the 110-meter hurdles and finished as state runner-up in the 300 June 1 at East Kentwood.
Given that, along with Megan Berry, Roger White is the co-coach of Utica's track and field team, it is safe to say White had a pretty nice vantage point as to how Crittenden was able to come away from the season as a state champion.
Crittenden had already experienced some success as a track and field athlete before he arrived at Utica, as he ran for McCluer North in St. Louis, Mo., during his first two years of high school, where he was All-State as a sophomore.
Before he officially became a member of Utica's team, White had already heard rumors that Crittenden "was pretty good."
And while White acknowledges being skeptical, after having the opportunity to work with Crittenden, he realized the program had a nice talent on its hands.
In fact, Crittenden nearly won a state title in the 300 in his first season with Utica as a junior, but was disqualified for hitting the last hurdle, according to White.
Instead of allowing dejection to get the best of him, Crittenden went to work. White worked with him on increasing his overall speed, as well as his speed between the hurdles during the offseason.
Crittenden proceeded to win a national indoor competition in New York, and finish second in a race in Washington — which was won by a former teammate of his from his old school in St. Louis — before laying claim to a state title before departing from Utica's program.
White thinks his disqualification last year may have actually turned out to benefit Crittenden.
"Now, he's not the state champ, he's just a DQ in the record sheet," he said. "That actually kind of fed that hunger into this year. That was probably the biggest driving force this year. What looked like a bad thing motivated (him). I don't know how things would have been this year had he been state champ as a junior."
Crittenden concurs with the sentiment of his coach.
"It definitely has," he said of the benefit that has come since being disqualified. "I believe everything happens for a reason. There was a purpose for that happening. In the end, it turned out for me. It was a good thing, despite being a bad thing (at the time)."
High-end results aren't typically achieved by accident, and White shared some thoughts as to why he thinks Crittenden has been able to enjoy the kind of success that has come his way.
"He's (an) extremely hard-working kid," he said. "He's really hungry. He's such a hungry kid for success. The better he got, the hungrier he got. He's one of those real motivated kids. He's very coachable."
While there are plenty of other things he could have been doing besides training, from Crittenden's perspective, things just wouldn't have seemed quite right if he didn't believe he was putting in the kind of time he considers to be required to be a champion. He offered some ideas as to what it takes to be successful in track and field, and life in general.
"If I was to tell a freshman or sophomore, if they (want to) become successful, you have to learn to make huge sacrifice," he said. "You have to spend a lot of your time at the track training. You have to make proactive choices that will help you be more successful in track and field. The peer pressures of high school … drugs, you have to go past all of that and just kind of ignore it.
"You have to eat right, you have to sleep right. It crosses over into any category of life. If you want to do well, you have to make some sacrifices."
According to White, he referenced advice he got from some coaching mentors who have taken athletes to world championships and Olympic games, which he thinks has also been beneficial for Crittenden.
As his coach, White wanted to make sure to strike the right balance and not over-train Crittenden, even opting to hold him out of some races Crittenden expressed interest in running.
After trying to help him get the most of his talent, and all the work that went into experiencing success as a coach-athlete tandem the last two seasons, Crittenden will be moving on to continue his track and field career at the college level, as he has accepted a full scholarship to Syracuse University.
White expressed optimism that Crittenden's future has the potential to be a bright one.
"I really feel he's in good hands at Syracuse," he said. "I was pretty active in (the) recruiting process with him. It's a program with a good hurdle history. They're expecting good things for (him) in the future. I'm excited for (him), and he's excited to go and embark on that experience. We're going to miss him at our school, but really exciting to have a kid have that opportunity."
While Crittenden may be looking forward to taking the next step in his track career, he will miss being a part of a program he credits for helping him get better.
"I will definitely miss being a part of Utica," he said. "I'm attached to my coach, friends, track team, teachers, school faculty, principal (and) assistant principal. Find myself (getting) more and more sad as the year dwindles down. As graduation approaches, I'm kind of realizing I'm (going to) have to leave soon.
"Coming here has been beneficial. Coach Roger helped me out so much. I don't think I would be the 110 hurdler I am without the help of Coach Roger. He's given me plenty of help, tips (and) suggestions. Everything happens for a reason. God made me come here for a reason."

As part of a class action settlement, Sprint has said it will allow customers who are at the end of the contract to unlock the phones. The phone holders from August 18, 1999 to July 16, 2007 are eligible to receive the unlocking codes – no work as why these dates were chosen.
The thing to note however, is that this is, for now, a California only phenomenon, as this is where the lawsuit took place. Another thing of note is that most of the customers will have to move to another state to use their phone, as the only other CDMA carrier in California is Verizon, which doesn't allow 'foreign' phones on their network. Actually, there are pockets of Alltel in Northern California, but the areas of service are extremely small.
Perhaps this will spark the owners of unlocked Sprint phones to start a class action against Verizon, so the Sprint phones can be used on the Verizon network.
If this starts a trend, perhaps we could see CDMA phones, the superior technology, with RIMs, the equivalent of the SIM card, which are found in the GSM phones, that have the superior convenience. It would be very nice to be able to carry a phone fitting the occasion, with just the change of a RIM card. (Use your Treo at work, where you need the extra features offered, and a Motorola V60 when not working, as all you need is phone capability.)
The question of phone locking to a particular carrier has been getting a much more discriminating look, as many iPhone users are wishing the phone was not tied to AT&T. Suits are pending against T-Mobile right now, which is very odd, because T-Mobile is probably the most user friendly customer service in existence. While working for T-Mobile, I saw many customers using phones purchased from other services, and also from overseas, being used without problems on the T-Mobile network. I suppose the customers might be railing against the policy of making the customer purchase a T-Mobile SIM for use on their network.
With the litigation taking place in every region of the country, it is only a matter of time before the phones are interchangeable between carriers of the same type service, but, the users will probably rail once again, when the phones are no longer financed by the carrier. For those unaware, the phone that the carrier 'gives away free' is part of the loyalty agreement you sign by agreeing to service for a prescribed period. Many times the 'free' phone, would otherwise cost up to $200. Trade-offs will be made, so thought before action might be in order.

City Interactive, the international publisher and the largest Polish video game developer producing PC and console games, including Nintendo Dual Screen titles, was created in 2002 in a merge of a publishing house and two video game developers. The long-term strategy guaranteed a successful expansion into international markets. The City Interactive brand is present in the USA, Australia and the majority of European countries, including Germany, the United Kingdom, France and Russia. The company has also launched a broad-scope activity in South America.
The intensive development and true-and-tried formula have made continued development possible, with Warsaw-based City Interactive opening studios in Rzeszów and Katowice. The beginning of 2008 saw the opening of company branches in Germany, the United Kingdom and the USA, followed by Spain. Thanks to a broad spectrum of titles with excellent quality-to-price ratio, the company achieved a strong position on the international map of electronic entertainment. Present in 40 markets on five continents, City Interactive is seen as one of the fastest-developing companies in the business.
City Interactive is in active cooperation with the leading publishing houses and development companies in the video game business. Partners of City Interactive are, among others, companies such as Focus Entertainment, Mindscape, Akella, Noviy Disk, Atari, Ubisoft, DTP and CDV. In 2007 the company changed its legal status, transforming from a limited liability company into a joint stock company. In November 2007 the company debuted at the Warsaw Stock Exchange.
Presently, City Interactive employs nearly 150 employees. The company received a "Solidna Firma" ("Trustworthy Company") Certificate thrice (in 2005, 2006 and 2007) in a Polish national verification programme for promotion of honest and trustworthy business.
