Starting later this month, Uber will allow customers in downtown Pittsburgh to summon self-driving cars from their phones, crossing an important milestone that no automotive or technology company has yet achieved. Google, widely regarded as the leader in the field, has been testing its fleet for several years, and Tesla Motors offers Autopilot, essentially a souped-up cruise control that drives the car on the highway. Earlier this week, Ford announced plans for an autonomous ride-sharing service. But none of these companies has yet brought a self-driving car-sharing service to market.
Uber's Pittsburgh fleet, which will be supervised by humans in the driver's seat for the time being, consists of specially modified Volvo XC90 sport-utility vehicles outfitted with dozens of sensors that use cameras, lasers, radar, and GPS receivers. Volvo Cars has so far delivered a handful of vehicles out of a total of 100 due by the end of the year. The two companies signed a pact earlier this year to spend $300 million to develop a fully autonomous car that will be ready for the road by 2021.
The robotisation of transportation - personal, professional, commercial, and industrial - will be one of the most far-reaching and uprooting developments in recent human history. Transportation is a relatively large part of the workforce, and over the coming decades, many of those jobs will disappear - putting a huge strain on the economy and society.
On top of that, car ownership will start to slow down, and since automated cars will make more efficient use of available road surface, we'll eventually get to the point where we need to rethink our entire infrastructure and the way we design our living space - only 60-70 years after the last time we completely rethought our living space.
We've talked about this before, but The Netherlands completely redesigned (at least the western half of) the country for two things: one, to maximise agricultural production, and two, to prepare the environment for mass car ownership. We succeeded at the former (The Netherlands is the second largest exporter of agricultural products, after the US, but before Germany - despite our tiny surface area), but we only partially succeeded at the latter (traffic jams are a huge problem all over the country).
As an aside: when I say "redesigned the country", I literally mean that the entire map was redrawn. This map should illustrate really well what the Dutch government, the agricultural sector, and industry agreed upon to do; the 'messy' part is the swampy, irregularly shaped way it used to look, while the straight and clean part is what they turned it into. Gone are the irregularly shaped, inefficient patches of farmland only navigable on foot and in boats, and in their place we got large, patches of land, easily reachable by newly drawn roads to make way for cars and trucks (still countless waterways though; they are crucial for making sure the entire western half of the country doesn't flood).
My parents and grandparents lived through this massive redesign, and according to them, it's very difficult to overstate just how massive the undertaking really was.
It's unlikely said redesign will be undone on a massive, regional scale, but at the local level, I can foresee countless pro-car infrastructure and landscaping changes being undone because it's simply not needed anymore. For instance, many towns in my area - including my own - used to have a waterway (like so) running alongside their Main Street (generally 'Dorpsstraat' in Dutch), but in order for a Main Street to be ready for cars, people had to walk elsewhere; the waterways were often filled up and turned into footpaths or sidewalks, so cars could drive on Main Street.
Over the coming decades, I can definitely see such changes being undone in certain places - especially more tourist-oriented towns such as my own. With fewer and fewer cars on the roads, we can start giving space back to people, and while this may not be a big deal in a spacious country like the United States, it will be a revolution here in The Netherlands, the most densely populated western country (that isn't a city state), and in classic cities like, say, Rome or Amsterdam.
All I'm trying to say is that self-driving car technology will, inevitably, have side-effects that many people simply haven't even considered yet. All of us consider cars a normal aspect of our everyday lives and environment, to the point where we've forgotten just how much space we've conceded to the things. Once the dominance of cars starts to come down like a house of cards, our environment will, quite literally, change.

Soft and Serene Belgian Kitchens
The soft tones, natural patina, and simple designs of Belgian interiors are appealing for all rooms of the house. But we find that Belgian influence particularly attractive for the kitchen, where the hustle and bustle is what's busy, not the kitchen's design:
The first image above, from a converted factory featured in Marie Claire Maison, has become one of our favorites and we see it all over the place. The kitchen uses old library shelves painted a warm creamy white for all of its dish storage. We love how that rich wall of storage sets off a lab-style pulldown faucet at the sink.
The one thing in common between all of these kitchens - and an element we love - is the color. Creamy whites and muted grays with natural wood and stone make for a serene backdrop for cooking and gathering.

A couple of weeks ago, Lyss invited a new alt that Cymre made on Drak so that she could work on getting one of the pets she coveted, the Lil' Tarecgosa. I gave her some gold to help her out buying the guild tabard and the pets and the guild supported her with some friendly guild banter as she was grinding her way to Exalted with the guild. She got Exalted really quick and wasted no time in power leveling Lil' Tarecgosa to 25, the same day she got it, lol.
Cym gave some of us a Pandaren Spirit pet for helping her out and I ended up giving my Fire Spirit to Lyss because I had one already. I told Cym about it to make sure it was ok with her and that I appreciated the nice gesture.
She's been trying to get me a pet I don't have in my collection, which isn't very much to choose from, but each one she's tried to farm for me, I've ended up getting it for myself, lol. For months, I've been working tirelessly in the Molten Front and recently got the Seared Scorchling and I also spent endless nights farming Pandaren and Mogu artifacts to turn into crates to finally get the Crawling Claw, two pets she tried to help me get.
I don't expect anything in return when I give pets away to my friends; as long as they enjoy it, that's all the gift back I'll ever need.
But I think Cym was determined to give me something. And she did the next best thing, she made me into a superhero!
When I first saw her post about it, I was immediately floored. I really enjoyed her Super Sunday series and felt honored that she turned me into one. Maybe her inspiration came from a certain WarFare Theater post of mine, but either way, I thought it was an awesome and original gift.
Thanks again Cym!

Rational Automation framework (RAF) has many and it would be impossible to cover everything in one product. At least out of the box. This is why RAF is such a powerful application. The ability the user has to answer their wildest automation dreams can come true. Custom actions can get overwhelming very quickly. I don't want to discuss this outside of the realm of the example I will provide. Via Twitter we had a request to know how to edit WebSphere property files instead of the config files. Since there are no actions directly related to modifying property files. I will walk you though creating a custom action to edit a property file.
Let's start from scratch and remove all expectations. Let's break down this custom action into several parts, not assuming the product can do anything on it's own. We need a list of parts we can target for discovery.
Start with a problem.
How to get wsadmin to stop prompting for a userName and passWord when starting and stopping JVM's.
Through discovery we know this can be done by editing the soap.client.props file and removing the prompt value for wsadmin prompting and entering in a userName and passWord.
What scope will the action run at.
Location of files needed to be changed
Type of script to write and how it will be executed.
ANT code
These four questions give a great place to start. No doubt many more questions will arise, but we have a good starting point. I will now answer each one in a separate section.
Custom actions are saved to Ant build files in the user tree. Scope will determine where and how these actions will be ran, as well as what is necessary to run the action.
Before we go there. We should look at the rafw/product/actions directory. There are four folders, configure, deploy, install and model. This is where the out of the box product actions reside depending on their primary function. This structure mimics the RAFW_HOME user/actions directory. If we navigate to the user/actions directory we see the same four folders. Since, editing properties is more of a configure function. Inside the configure folder is a list of supported products. For this example, we will want to choose "was". There are several version folders located in the was directory just like the product/actions have. You can place your action in a folder specific to a version. If this is an action for all versions, you can place it in the common folder, which will encompass all versions. For this example, we will be using the already created custom_configure_was_common.xml. Once this file is open, you will see several imports located at the top. These imports make various parts of the application available to your custom action in two major ways. For example:
<!-- Include cell properties -->
<property file="${CELL_PROPERTIES}" />
<!-- import RAFW library -->
<import file="${RAFW_HOME}/product/lib/RAFW_lib.xml" />
The first example <property file> tag includes the cell properties file into our xml. The second example is an actual import. <import file> . This makes the rafw_lib.xml available to your custom action. This can be useful for logging with wsadmin commands that utilize the WebSphere admin objects. Doesn't apply to much for this example of editingn properties files.
Most of the imports have been created for you. The only thing to be careful with, is if you are creating a script and or batch file. Where are you going to place those files? You may want to include an import for the directory locations of your scripts if it does not already exist. You can also clarify the entire directory path of your script, just as long as the script resides somewhere in the rafw directory tree.
NOTE: in order for the files to be transferred to the target system. You must have your script or any other files used in the rafw/ directory and not on the local system.
For a properties file update, we can use the cell scope. This will be fine for our example. The scope can be initialized in the ANT code. Since this is a property file and not located via a typical WebSphere scope. The method we use to change the properties file doesn't really care about scope. It's not the same as running actions in wsadmin which rely on the scope.
For additional information on Scope and ANT build files. See the Info Center link below.
What is the properties file we want to change? Is that the only one we need to change? And where is it located?
For this example, we will be adding a userName and passWord as well as changing the wsadmin prompting method.
soap.client.props = IBM/WebSphere/AppServer/Profiles/DMGR/properties.
Now that I have the target file. Its time to make a backup of the properties file. Now that we have a problem to solve. We know what scope we will be running our action at. The location of our file to be changed and we know it's the only file needed for this functionality. The next step is to create our Jython script.
Let's break down our Jython Logic.
I need to locate the file in question and open that file
I need to read that file from top to bottom
As I read the file, I want to pick out certain keywords to identify
I then want to replace those values with different ones
I have created the Jython script below. Yes, there are many ways you could write this script. But since we are changing properties file, and If we don't want to run into any permissions issues. I chose to create a script to manipulate the file and launch it with a batch file.
This script will go in and read the backup of the soap.client.props file. I did this because, the original .props extensions are hidden for known folders in WebSphere. The script does not recognize soap.client by itself. If I search for soap.client.props, the script will find it. Except I am not changing the file and rewriting it. I am actually just reading the file and the output has all the changes. So I need to output the script to a file called soap.client, which will automatically get a props file extension. For if I name the file soap.client.props it will end up coming out soap.client.props.props. Which is wrong.
keyword = "com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid="
keyword1 = "com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword="
keyword2 = "com.ibm.SOAP.loginSource=prompt"
psw = sys.argv[0]
print 'Argument List:', str(sys.argv)
hello = open("C:\Users\IBM_ADMIN\Desktop\soap.client.props", 'r+')
text = hello.readlines()
for line in text:
if line.find('com.ibm.SOAP.loginUserid=') >= 0:
b = keyword.replace("=", "=WSADMIN")
print b.strip('\n')
elif line.find('com.ibm.SOAP.loginPassword=') >= 0:
c = keyword1.replace("=","=" + psw )
print c.strip('\n')
elif line.find('com.ibm.SOAP.loginSource=prompt') >=0:
d = keyword2.replace("=prompt", "=")
print d.strip('\n')
print line.strip("\n")
The next part to accomplish is our ANT code. To launch the batch script that will run my action. I discuss this more below, but next is the ANT code.
ANT Code
<rafwaction location="remote,transfer" name="was_common_change_soap_propsv2"
promotemode="true" />
<target name="was_common_change_soap_propsv2"
description="This Actions takes the soap.client properties file from the WebSphere Application Server and creates a back up called soapclientbackup as a regular text file.
The script will then read through the soap.client.props file, find the was username and password and replace it with whatever value is specified within the was_common_configure_soapClientProps.py script
the script is located in the rafw/product/actions/was/common/scripts folder This action should only be ran one time and one time only.">
<antcall target="execute">
<param name="EXECUTABLE" value="${RAFW_HOME}/user/actions/configure/was/common/scripts/ChangSoap.bat" />
The <rafwaction> makes this action available for viewing in eclipse or through the command line using the -l argument. You do not need to include this element in your action but it's recommended. I set the modes by =true or =false. This is how the product will determine what modes the script can run in.
The <target> contains the name and a description of what my action might do. It also contains the chunk of code that will do all the work. The <Antcall> In this example. I have used the <antcall target="execute"> to execute a changeProps.bat file. Now, in the example above. I have left the full file path to the batch file. If I import that scripts folder located {RAFW_HOME}/user/actions/configure/was/common/scripts/
I can change the execution value to changeProps.bat without the file path. For Example
<!--import the scripts folder location for my custom action-->
<import file="${RAFW_HOME}/user/actions/configure/was/common/scripts" />
Then my <antcall> looks like the one below.
<antcall target="execute">
<param name="EXECUTABLE" value="changeProps.bat" />
It can be done either way. Best practice would say to import the script location. So every time you create a custom action. You put the script to the action in the same folder for all custom actions.
Now that we have figured out our problem. Determined our scope, found the property files to edit, created a script to do that. Created an ANT script that executes a batch file. We need to create our .bat file. For example:
echo Creating a backup of your current Soap.clint folder. It will be renamed into a text file calld soapclientbackup
copy C:\Progra~2\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\properties\soap.client.props C:\Progra~2\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\properties\soapclientbackup
echo Problem creating the soapclient file. Either the file does not exist or permissions are probably wrong.)
echo Deleting the existing soap.clint file after the backup was made.
DEL C:\Progra~2\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\properties\soap.client.props
echo Problem creating the soapclient file. Either the file does not exist or permissions are probably wrong.)
echo Launching the script soapClientProps.py and outputing the data with the username and password designated within the script to your new soap.client file
call "C:\RAFW\product\actions\configure\was\common\scripts\was_common_configure_soapClientProps.py" >> "C:\Progra~2\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\Dmgr01\properties\soap.client.props"
echo Problem creating the soapclient file. Either the file does not exist or permissions are probably wrong.)
echo Completed successfully.
This batch file will make a copy of the soap.client and rename is to soap.clientbackup. This file will have a file extension instead of a props extension. Now I have a soap.client.props and soap.clientbackup file. The batch file will then delete the soap.client.props and call the Jython script, which goes and reads the soap.clientbackup file and outputs the new data to a soap.client.props. This eliminates potential permissions issue when overwriting property files.
The location of the batch file is located in the user/actions/scripts folder. I created the scripts folder in the user/actions/configure/was/ directory to hold my batch file. My actual Jython script could be put into the same folder but I chose to put mine in the rafw/product/script folder. But in either case, as long as you declare the file path and or import that directory into your xml, everything should work.
That is pretty much all you need to know when creating custom actions to edit property files.
Below is the link to all the custom action information. If you would like more in depth information regarding wsadmin admon objects and how to manipulate them. Please visit our twitter
And let us know what you want to hear.

About Staples
The journey from confusion to organization doesn't have to be a long one. Often enough, it's the length of one tiny strip of metal—the staple that holds a school paper together, or attaches a cover letter to a résumé. Staples doesn't carry staples exclusively, of course, but for 28 years, they've aspired to create that same sense of effortless order. Their library of products covers everything from business cards and postcards to signs and banners, all of which aim to help you market your business more effectively.
You will of course also find the normal library of office supplies and furniture, while the technology aisles feature more advanced gear: cameras, phones, label makers, tablets, and laptops from popular brands. Their Print & Marketing centers churn out professional documents, business cards, photo gifts, and more. And, though Staples' focus is work, the stores can also furnish break rooms with chairs and coffeemakers.

Xiaomi has been making lot of comments about its two new products MI Note and Mi Note Pro and presently they are in the media with lot of traffic on them. They look great in pictures and specs they seem to be good model of technology and new features which are not present in other products competing them. Here are the features they contain.
Slim, Light and compact than iPhone 6 Plus
Both these device are 6.95 mm thick and weigh only 161 grams. They are technology packed thinner, lighter than their competitor iPhone 6 Plus that is 7.1 mm thick and weighs 172 grams. Even in other dimensions Mi Note and Mi Note Pro have more proportionate measurements, 155.1 x 77.6mm, while the iPhone 6 Plus measures 158.1 x 77.8mm. in these dimensions Xiaomi's smartphones carry more hardware components and have bigger displays than Apple's so far thinnest smartphone. This way we can say Xiaomi has surpassed iPhone 6 Plus in expertise in making these devices.
Curvature Gorilla Glass 3 screens
Corning has announced to make the special Gorilla Glass displays that is curved and strong in protecting the device screen against scratches. The Xiaomi Mi Note and Mi Note Pro both are going to have this curved glass display of 5.7 inches in size. It looks really attractive and the screen is so flexible that it can bend up to 75 to 80 degrees. Xiaomi has not bent it to that extent but only are the corners to make the screen pretty and uniform look and Xiaomi is going to be the first one to use this curved glass from Corning. However Corning has launched its product in market we can expect others also using this glass in the current year.
Massive 4 GB LPDDR RAM in Mi Note Pro
ASUS Zenfone 2 is the first one to power its devices with 4GB RAM and the LG G Flex 2 was the first to sport LPDDR4 RAM modules. However Mi Note Pro is the first one to use both these features in their Mi 4 Pro. LPDDR4 is 50 percent better in performance and very economical in use of battery power.
Single handed mode
Both these devices from Xiaomi are very handy and convenient to use with one hand because of the features built in their make. The placement of control buttons is experience based and made users friendly. The placement of buttons is at logical locations to operate them conveniently when the users using the device. The main focus is on one hand use which keeps the other hand free.
Ultra Pixel front camera
The Mi Note pair is probably the first Xiaomi duo to have 4Mega Pixel UltraPixel front cameras. The feature first introduced by HTC and after that many devices followed the same tradition and adopted by many others. Some examples include IUNI U3. It has the large camera sensor than the rest 2mega pixel, allowing to absorb more light. This ultra pixel camera did not work as the main rear camera but proved an effective photographic device for the selfies even in low light conditions.
Two Tone flash Light
Xiaomi Mi Note and Mi Note Pro are fitted with Phillips dual-tone flash which captures two shots of what users are capturing the image. One lit by a white LED light and one lit with a yellow LED light and then combining the two into a composite single image with natural colors than a single-diode flash. This technology is not new and was discovered much earlier and used for quite some time but with more research Philips has added some new technical aspects and made it better.
Dedicated reader mode
Koreans and Japanese had mastered many things in technology but now Chinese are not far behind in development of hardware for the mobiles phones and other devices. They are using their indigenous productions in making their products. There is a feature in the smartphones that emits blue light that has the effect of anti sleeping but Chinese have improved this feature by eliminating it in their new devices Mi Note and Mi Note Pro and filtered it to make the user experience better. Similarly they have improved selfies as well.
Audiophile hardware and lossless playback
Both the Mi Note and its Pro have been provided with much better audio profile and pushed mobile audio fidelity to new dimensions by dedicating a more space to a perfect sound module. This is done by an ESS ES9018K2M 32-bit Stereo audio DAC made particularly for mobile devices. It's paired with not one, but two TI OPA1612 operational amplifiers giving the Mi Note and Mi Note Pro the uncanny ability to drive up to 600ohm headphones. There's full 192kHz/24-bit high-resolution audio support, along with built-in FLAC/APE/WAV/DSD decoding support. By adding theses audio features it seems that Xiaomi has concentrated on voice aspect as well the music with a serious effort.
Micro & nano-SIM support

"Our goal of $3,500,000," said Mr. Mellman, "has been nearly half reached.

(A' full story on the Dinner will appear in the next week's Chronicle.) CAMBRIDGE, MaSs. ' (JTA) — Plans for a $15 million Harvard University Center for Jewish Studies, centralizing and expanding the university's existing wide variety of Judaic degree • programs, was announced Feb. 12 by president Derek C. Bok and Fellows of Harvard College. Bok said gifts and pledges, totalling $2.1 million, including a grant of $1 million from the Lucius N. Littauer Foundation of-New York, have been raised toward the $15 million goal. Bok said that "the joining of one of the major strains of culture in the Western world with an institution that for three centuries has been a~ symbol of intellectual excel¬ lence and humanitarian concern is a cause for great pride." He said the new center would be "more than a source of scholarship and .inspiration," adding that it would be "nothing less -than a major step in the enrichment of ■ Harvard University, the United States, the Jewish people and the Western world." Gerald Weinstock of Larchmont, N.Y., chairman of a national committee of mpre than 200 prominent citizens which, is spear¬ heading the program, said that among the projected center's purposes, were to expand instruction and research in Judaica at Harvard; to integrate Judaic studies — languages, literature, history, culture, philosophy and religion — "on an interdepartmental- scale"; and to stimulate further Judaic studies "at other schools of higher learning throughout the United States, both by example and by providing visiting research and teaching positions, symposia .and colloquia." In .noting that the center will provide expanded Judaica instruction for under- Day Camp Registration Is Open Hew Billion Dollar Arms Deal With Saudi Arabia Being Set By Joseph Polakoff WASHINGTON (JTA) - Another billion dollar arms deal between the United States and Saudi Arabia is in the process of formalization that will bring American sales of military equipment and services to that oil-rich Arab-country to well over $10 billion, the bulk of it since the oil embargo three'years ago; The Pentagon confirmed that within the "next few days" it will send to Congress for its consideration a program calling for the sale of $1.2 billion in weapons and military construction to help Sa,udi Arabia upgrade its armed forces. Congress has 20 days after receiving the pentagon's notice to reject the program in whole or in part. Previously, during the current fiscal year, the U.S. embarked on a $1.8 billion program for modernizing the Saudian air force. This was on top of $7.3 billion in previous programming.' In providing this data, the Pentagon spokesman pointed out to the Jewish Telegraphic Agency Feb. 11 that the programming began in 1950 and that deliveries through last June 30 totaled only $965 million. He also emphasized that 40-45 percent of the program is "non-lethal" and constituted training or . support equipment. Asked how many Americans were in Saudi (CONTINUED ON PAGE 16) Judy Swedlow, Chairperson of the Jewish Center Camp Committee announces that registration is now open for the 1976 bicentennial season. Six day camps will be offered for children and youth ages1 3 thru 13 from June 28th thru August 6. The camp program which emphasizes - Jewish experiences, camp crafts, swimming instruction and nature activities is differentially focused on the needs of each camp group. All camp programs will begin at 9 A.M. in order to accommodate working parents. With the exception of Yelodim and Ora, camps will end at 3:30 PM. Special overnights or late night programs will be announced. The Columbus Jewish Center is the only agency in the country that designates its full time professional staff to the direction of. camp. Barbara Weinberg, Early Childhood Services Director will be in charge of Yelodim, Ora and Nitzanim. Aryeh Marpern, Children's Worker will be Program Director of Camp Cojacee. Caryn Palmer, Youth Services Director will supervise Pioneer Camp and Carolyn Friedman, Teen Worker, will direct Teen Camp. Dr. Howard Banchefsky will be in charge of .camp administration. Peg Pierce, Aquatics Director, will supervise both swimming and small crafts instruction. Fees for the 1976 season will remain the same as 1975. According to Mrs. Swedlow, "We intend to offer the finest camp program possible but more important to involve as many children as possible (CONTINUED ON PAGE 14) graduates and doctoral students, Weinstock said that the anticipated funds would provide for creation of six endowed professorships in a variety of fields of Judaica, plus new funds and curatorships for the Judaica collection now in the Harvard College Library. He said it would also include establishment of 24 etrdowed graduate fellowships; creation of, an admin¬ istrative center ' to coordinate seminars, symposia and public lectures; support of visiting scholars; and creation of a publication program. Bok cited the university's "special tradition',' in Jewish studies, referring to the teaching and scholarship of the late Prof. Harry Wolfson, who held the first endowed chair of Jewish studies in a secular institution of learning in the world, the Nathan Littauer Professorship'of Hebrew Literature and Philosophy established at Harvard in 1925.

I and a companion, armed with a 35 mm. camera and driving the "rented Opel, left Munich for Dachau about 20 miles away. As we left, I thought of the story in the International Herald Tribune just several days earlier, how the people in Dachau, now a city of 33,000 (13,000 before World War II), were not interested in and even hostile to the existence of the memorial camp site, its history' and ever-present reminder. I thought, on the contrary, it should be exposed again and again, and made' visible wherever possible "to honor the dead and remind, the living." Munich's grand streets, the well-built houses and well-fed and clothed people were trafficking in their clean streets; Munich, the birthplace of German fascism where in November, 1923, Hitler attempted a coup d'etat 'beginning at, the Buergerbraeu and ending at the Feldhernhalle and where 11 of his "genossen" (comrades) were killed while he fled in ignominy. Now, however, that was an¬ other history as we drove up Ifland Strasse to Ise Ring, followed the Mittlerer Ring and finally found ourselves on Dachauer Strasse heading towards that medieval tpwn. But the roads were -heavy with modern traffic and on either side was all the evidence of a city well-heeled. Farther out, the ecology thinned and after 25 kilometers, we saw the KZ (Konzentrationslager, —concentration camp), sign right too late and passed it. . We made an illegal U-turn and stopped to ask a gas attendant where the KZ was. He muttered an unfriendly direction in his thick Bavarian accent and we took off to the sign" "Gedenk- staette" .(memorial site). A bare road led us to a parking area just outside the barbed wire of the camp.

WALNUT CREEK, Calif. — Federal authorities launched an inquiry Sunday into the deaths of two Bay Area Rapid Transit workers who were struck by a train in the midst of a tense labor walkout that has disrupted travel for hundreds of thousands of commuters.
Investigators for the National Transportation Safety Board will try to determine what went wrong on the BART line in Walnut Creek where the two workers were hit Saturday afternoon as they inspected the track for defects, officials said.
The deaths brought heartbreak to the labor dispute that had simmered for several months before triggering the strike Friday by a pair of unions.

English workshop/Meetings
Around ten people join the meeting. Jay introduces himself as a native English speaker who lives in Europe since ten years. He has some great ideas about what we can do within the workshops: He addresses some common mistakes German-speaking natives make when they speak English and offers to help people with that. For improving vocabulary, he suggests reading dictionaries. We make a list of books we intend to read, collect some useful web links. Jay also suggests that watching films with subtitles can improve language skills. Pepi suggests that playing some games could be helpful, and also there should be some kind of challenge. For example, naming things with their English names when you are out (like in the tram) will improve vocabulary. We decide to meet again in one week and schedule the next meeting for 2013-01-15 19:00

I don't think Cloudy is refering to the "like" clause in SQL.
I think you mean BlackTiger rather then Cloudy.
I think he wants a more human language syntax for regular expressions, rather than using symbols.
Probably. Such approaches become very wordy very quickly; especially if you're using the regexp for substitution.
I can't speak for BlackTiger, but my experience with people having trouble with regexps is that they've learned how to use them by stumbling through crappy discussions like the InformIt one that are more confusing than helpful and so don't have a solid grasp of what regexps are and what they do.
It's amazing how many people don't even know that a regexp is a program in a special purpose programming language, for example; or that there are many slightly different variants on regexp syntax.

Tips & Tricks
Managing iMessage Apps in iOS 10
- February 7, 2017
- Apps + Games, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
The ability to use iMessage Apps was one of the cooler new features added to iOS 10, but with so many developers adding their own little iMessage apps to their main apps, you may find your Messages app drawer quickly becoming inundated with new icons. Fortunately, it's not difficult to remove or reorganize your iMessage Apps, or prevent new ones from automatically showing up when one of your existing iOS apps gains iMessage App support in an update.
Removing and reorganizing iMessage Apps is done in much the same way as normal apps on your home screen — just bring up the app drawer in iMessage by tapping on the app symbol to the left of the text entry field, and then tap-and-hold on any one of the apps until they all start jiggling. From there, you can drag them around to reorganize them, even between pages, or tap the "X" in the top right corner to remove the app entirely. Removing a dedicated iMessage App like a sticker pack from here will remove it entirely from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch; removing the iMessage App version of a standalone app, on the other hand, will only hide the iMessage App extension, leaving the main app untouched.
Getting haptic feedback for walking directions in Google Maps
- April 14, 2015
- Apps + Games, iPhone,
If you want to use your iPhone for getting walking directions around town, both Apple's and Google's Maps apps have you covered, although traditionally you've pretty much had to either wear earphones or pay close attention to your iPhone to know when and where to turn if you're traveling through an unfamiliar neighborhood. The good news is that Google Maps has quietly added a haptic feedback feature to its iPhone Maps app that will provide vibrations to let you know not only when to turn, but which direction to turn in: three vibrations for a left turn, two vibrations for a right turn. There are no specific settings in the Google Maps app for this — it's automatically enabled when you've started walking directions — however you will need to ensure that your ringer switch is set to silent and that the in-app "Mute" option is disabled (simply turn down your volume if you don't want to hear the spoken directions going off in your pocket).
Of course, if you're planning on getting an Apple Watch, you'll be able to take advantage of haptic feedback on your wrist from Apple Maps to notify you of upcoming turns. However, Apple hasn't (yet) seen fit to add this feature to the iPhone itself. For those who either may not be interested in Apple's wearable, or are simply stuck waiting until later this year for their Apple Watch to arrive, Google Maps can definitely fill in that gap for now.
Zooming in Google Maps with one finger
- November 14, 2013
- Apps + Games, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
Not only does Google's Maps app for iOS generally provide better mapping data, but it also includes some nifty UI features, including the ability to zoom in and out on a map with a single finger. This is a particularly great feature for one-handed operation on an iPhone or iPod touch, although it works in the iPad version too. Simply double-tap and hold your finger down anywhere on the map and then slide your finger up to zoom out or down to zoom back in. A single tap-and-hold gesture after releasing your finger returns you to normal panning mode. It can be a really cool way to navigate around your maps once you get the hang of it.
Storing Google Maps for offline use
- October 31, 2013
- Apps + Games, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
Sometimes it's useful to have access to certain maps while away from an Internet connection, especially if you're an iPod touch or Wi-Fi-only iPad user. If you're using Google Maps—and with the sub-par performance of Apple's own built-in Maps app you probably are—recently viewed information is cached automatically to some degree, but you can also actually tell Google Maps to pre-load a full detailed version of whatever map view is on your screen.
Simply focus on what you'd like to save, and then type the phrase "ok maps" in the search box. You'll see a brief dialog indicating that Google Maps is pre-loading the map followed by a confirmation that the on-screen map area has been cached on your device. This is particularly useful for working with larger areas like whole cities, as the full detail will be stored on your device, allowing you to zoom in and see everything even while offline. Keep in mind, however, that this doesn't work beyond a certain maximum area—about the size of an average city—so don't expect to be able to store maps for your whole state or country.
Turning off Location Data Collection in Google Maps
- December 13, 2012
- Apps + Games, iPhone, iPod,
The long-awaited Google Maps has finally arrived for the iPhone and iPod touch. Like most of Google's "free" apps, however, it comes with the price of encouraging you to offer up your location data to Google in exchange for access to the company's excellent mapping service. While Google Maps should prompt you on first run as to whether or not you want to participate, if you missed that screen in your rush to get right into the app and explore, you may have a hard time figuring out exactly where the option is afterward. The good news is that the option is still in the app, however Google seems to have buried it in a pretty obscure location that most users may find challenging to locate.
To turn off Location Data Collection in the new Google Maps app, first go into the application's settings by selecting your user profile via the small person icon in the top-right corner of the main screen followed by the gear icon that appears in its place on the user profile screen. From here, you need to go into About, terms & privacy and then one more level down from there into Terms & privacy, where the Location data collection option will appear.
Deleting apps based on storage requirements
- April 10, 2012
- Apps + Games, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
With iOS devices becoming ever more capable of creating and downloading content and apps, managing your device's storage has become increasingly important. If you find yourself running out of room on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, there's a simple way to see what apps are using the most storage. Open the Settings app, tap on General, then tap on Usage. At the top of the screen under the Storage header, you'll see a list of your installed apps, sorted by the amount of storage used, with an option to show all apps at the bottom. Using this list, you can discover which apps are the most storage hungry, and simply tap on any app to see more details, along with a button to delete the app, letting you delete only those apps that are adversely affecting your storage and leave the rest on your device.
Changing the departure time in Maps
- April 5, 2012
- Apps + Games, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
No matter how hard you try, sometimes you just aren't able to make the first available train offered to you by the Maps application's transit schedule. Luckily, there's a simple way to adjust the times to allow for a certain departure or arrival time. Once you've done your route search and settled on one you're happy with, tap the clock icon to see the available options, then tap on Depart to bring up a page that will allow you to adjust your departure or arrival time to better fit your schedule. Just note that it's not a time machine, so setting the Arrive By time to two hours ago won't get you there on time. [via CoM | UK Cnet]
Deleting numbers in Calculator for iOS
- March 22, 2012
- Apps + Games, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
Ever in a hurry and enter one too many numbers into the Calculator app for iOS? Instead of clearing the whole number out, use this tip to quickly get rid of the extra digit. Simply swipe your finger across the number display and the app will clear out only the rightmost digit, allowing you to continue on with your calculations without needing to reenter a thing. [via Cult of Mac]
Running Retina-Resolution iPhone Apps on iPad
- March 20, 2012
- Apps + Games, iPad,
Got a third-generation iPad? Well, the handful of apps that have been updated for the device's gargantuan 2048 x 1536 display aren't the only apps that can get in on the Retina iPad fun. If you have any Retina-ready iPhone and iPod touch apps installed, the new iPad allows those to appear in all their glory — something that's supported on no other iPad thus far. It's even noticeable when running the apps in 2x mode, making those few small-screen apps you can't live without that much more enjoyable.
Hiding app purchases in iTunes in the Cloud
- February 14, 2012
- Apps + Games, iPad, iPhone, iPod, iTunes,
The ability to re-download apps you've bought in the past is great, but if you're anything like us, you've downloaded plenty of apps that you don't actually use. Luckily, Apple has built in a super-simple way to hide those purchases, so they aren't cluttering up your Purchased list. To do this from an iOS device, simply find an app you'd lie to hide and swipe across it, and you'll see the iCloud download button replaced with a red Hide button, which you can tap to hide the app. To unhide purchases, visit the account management pane of the App Store, and tap on Hidden Purchases. You can also achieve this trick from iTunes on the PC or Mac by visiting your Purchased apps and hovering over the icon of any app you'd like to hide until a small x button appears in the corner; you can likewise unhide purchases by visiting your account settings page.
Adding PDFs directly to iBooks via Safari
- August 30, 2011
- Apps + Games, iPad, iPhone, iPod,
When Apple added PDF support in iBooks, it was a huge boon to users who hadn't yet sprung for a standalone, third-party reader. But did you know that you can add files directly to this PDF library from Safari on the iPad? Simply open a PDF in Safari and tap the page - at the top you'll see a button to "Open in iBooks," which will automatically add the document to your library. Starting in iOS 5, you'll also be able to take advantage of this feature on your iPhone or iPod touch, making the process of adding a PDF to your iBooks library far more streamlined.
Quickly adding your Digital Booklets to iBooks
- July 28, 2011
- Apps + Games, iTunes,
Long before the advent of iTunes LP, Apple offered—and still does offer—so-called Digital Booklets with certain album purchases. Unfortunately, these files have been basically useless outside of iTunes, as Apple has never offered a good way to organize and view them on its portable devices—until it added PDF support iBooks. While it might not do it automatically, iTunes does offer an easy way to gather these Booklets up and move them over to iBooks.

CHAMPAIGN, Ill. (AP) -- The state
climatologist says 2012 was Illinois'
second warmest and 10th driest year on record.
Climatologist Jim Angel of the Illinois State Water Survey says the
average temperature statewide in 2012 was 55.5 degrees. That's 3.3 degrees
above normal. 1921 holds the record as the warmest year at 55.6 degrees.
Illinois averaged just
more than 30 inches of rainfall in 2012 -- about 10 inches below normal. The
Illinois State Water Survey says that makes last year the 10th driest since
record keeping began in 1895.
Angel says the lack of rain and the heat were
brutal on Illinois
crops. He says soil moisture for farming will recover before the ground water
and the levels of lakes, rivers and streams recover.

When the New York Times published a profile on pioneering American midwife Ina May Gaskin back in May, the online comments poured in on the Times' site; and I wrote here about those comments, rather than about the article itself (although it was very good). The feedback that article generated represented a huge range of opinions on the subject of childbirth, home birth and midwifery, and hospital birth. Although some were clearly extreme and not really applicable to reality (no, midwife-assisted home birth is not comparable to prehistoric childbirth in caves), others represented a middle-ground mindset that's shared by many; lots of people – moms included – don't dismiss home birth's appeal, or perks, entirely, but they nonetheless feel safer giving birth in hospitals.
I totally get this. I do. I'm all about Safety First, and my mind can drum up the most gruesome of worst-case-scenarios. Which is why I find the statistics around home birth and midwife-assisted birth super compelling; countries in which women give birth with midwives, at home – rather than in the hospital – as a matter of course do so with stunning success. (The Dutch system is famous for its childbirth practices and super-low infant and maternal mortality rates.) Gaskin herself has a staggeringly impressive record, too; before even looking at hospital-birth statistics, home birth statistics certainly don't appear threatening. Of course, some people argue that midwife-assisted childbirth numbers look good only because most midwives accept only low-risk, normal pregnancies into their practices, while hospital statistics include all emergency and high-risk births; at first blush, any comparison of the two is between apples and oranges. I think it is safe to say, however, that since the vast majority of US births take place in hospitals (seriously, home births only account for 1.09% of US deliveries), the vast majority of those deliveries also involve healthy, 'normal' babies and moms. Comparing our maternal death rates with those countries in which the vast majority of births take place at home – rather than to American home birth statistics alone – makes for an even more level playing field, and can really tell us something.
Spoiler alert: hospital births in America are definitely not more safe than home births in the Netherlands. In fact, hospital births in the United States aren't very safe at all when compared to home or hospital births in other developed counties in general. Ours is one of only a handful of countries in the entire world whose maternal mortality rates are rising. And they're doing so rapidly. Our maternal death rate has doubled over the last 25 years. In California, it tripled in a mere decade (1996 to 2006). Given that a great many maternal deaths aren't even reported to the CDC (Gaskin herself goes into this in more detail here), these numbers probably actually look better than they really are. And, well, they don't look good.
Our maternal mortality rate lands us 50 places from the top when it comes to safety in this department, despite our spending $98 billion a year on hospital births (more than any other nation). Hospitals' C-section rates (also on the extreme rise) don't nearly reflect real 'emergency' rates – many hospitals are well over 50% -- and are a driving force behind the maternal death rate problem. But there are driving forces behind those C-section rates, too.
When asked for her perspective on this issue, Gaskin noted that because insurance companies drive the modern medicine bus right now, many obstetricians aren't even allowed – or trained – to perform procedures most midwives are qualified to handle, intervention-free; delivering breech babies, for example, ends up turning surgical far more frequently than it needs to (resulting in more complications, and more deaths). And since many other countries are copying the American medicalized childbirth model, our insurance system – although we are the only developed country involving profit-driven insurance companies in our population's health care at all – is also now affecting childbirth practices overseas.
I don't mean to be depressing here, people; and I'm not saying everyone should give birth at home. (I gave birth in a hospital, though if I do it again I'm totally taking off for Gaskin's farm!) I'm saying women deserve to not only feel, but also to be, safe, whether they're in hospitals or at home. It's important that we analyze and recognize what about our approach to health care, and our health care system, isn't working, despite its being such a money pit. And it's important that we have good information, and good choices, at every crucial health-related juncture. As our choices are placed on the chopping block nation-wide (birth control, really? What year is this?) , we should value and explore them more than ever, and make informed decisions in our own, and our familes', best interests.
When I asked Katherine Brady, a doula and soon-to-be-midwife here in Austin, Texas for her advice, she said, "When I was pregnant with my twin boys in 2000, the only birth and labor education I could find was in my hospital at a hospital sanctioned birth class. Today all women have to do is Google local labor and child birth education classes and they will have hundreds of options. I encourage women to seek out as much information as they can absorb; go to classes, find a doula, and ask questions."
The up-side, at least for now, is that we do have options. If we choose to give birth in a hospital, we can choose an obstetrician that we trust. We can choose to advocate for our own safety. We can get our partners on board with our preferences, so we have people advocating for us, too. In an increasing number of hospitals nationwide, we can choose low-intervention pain relief, and even water births. And if we find the statistics persuasive enough, or if we simply prefer to give birth at home, we can make the decision to go for that – more and more women are – even if we are Safety First types.
Are you as shocked as I am by how rapidly the American maternal mortality rates are rising? Why do you think this is? Considering how we compare with so many other developed countries (not very well), do you feel safe giving birth in a hospital? Would you consider home birth? Why, or why not?

Co-ed Skippers and Crews Brings Bulldog All-American Count to Six
MADISON, Wisc.—The Wisconsin weather did not agree with the Bulldogs but the awards received at the year end ICSA banquet gave the Bulldogs a bit of wind in their sails to take into the summer. A total of six Bulldogs earned All-American honors including Thomas Barrows '10 and sophomore Joseph Morris.
Barrows has had a busy spring filled with awards. At the end of the New England season, Barrows was named First Team Skipper for the fourth year as well as taking home Sailor of the Year honors and capturing the senior award which is voted on by the seniors on the New England circuit. On Class Day, Barrows became the first sailor to win the William Neely Mallory Award, which is given to the best male athlete in the graduating class. His awards yield for 2010 was far from complete. At the banquet following Nationals, Barrows achieved his fourth All-American nod, continuing the recent tradition of having a Yale sailor achieve this honor in every year of collegiate competition. He also gained the one accolade he had yet to achieve when he was awarded the Everett B. Morris Trophy, which is given to the college sailor of the year. Barrows is the first Bulldog to win the award since Stephen Benjamin '78 in 1978. After achieving greatness for the Bulldogs, Barrows will be sorely missed in competition. However, he will be returning to New Haven as an assistant coach in the fall, which should be a great boost for the Bulldogs.
Morris is continuing on much the same track as Barrows just two years behind. He collected his second All-American nod after a stellar season in which he was also named First Team Skipper All New England for the second year in a row. Morris continually finds himself among older skippers, garnering the same awards despite his younger age. Last year he was the only freshman to collect All-American honors. This season Morris shined in B division for the Bulldogs with new crew Marla Menninger '10. Their lack of time on the water together did not hinder them at all as they won their division at numerous regattas. As captain, Morris will continue to lead the team this fall when he will move up to the vacancy left by Barrows in A division.
Both Barrows' and Morris' crews, junior Blair Belling and Menninger, earned All-American honors. Skipper Sarah Lihan '10 and junior crew Elizabeth Brim, two integral members of the team racing team, also were named All-Americans. To read more about the lovely ladies of the Bulldog team who brought home awards, see the release on the Women's Sailing homepage.

Calling this a mere generational hand-off is too simplistic since its intent is more malicious. The backlash may primarily be from injecting a level of politically correctness at a level not seen before.
Some people embrace this move with a religious fervor that is almost irrational yet can't understand the reasoning behind legitimate negative reviews.
This should have been a disaster movie because that's what it was.
A weak effort. The various plots weren't well done.
I laughed at how easily the great Jedi master Skywalker went down to the pupil that wasn't.
One expects big money projects to be world class. This is anything but.
Don't waste your money on this one. If you must see it wait until it's released. Then it will be okay if you pass out watching it in the comfort of your home.
Disney should sell the rights to Star Wars to someone who appreciates when it was and could continue to be. This trash is not the future we want to see.
This is one of the worst shows in the genre in recent memory.
Keep away from this one. A five star bomb.

We're back! The Skirted Roundtable took a long Christmas break, but just before we left we welcomed Suzanne Rheinstein as our guest. Yes! THE Suzanne Rheinstein. She was in NYC at the time, visiting her daughter and staying in her fabulous apartment that is featured on the cover of her new book: At Home. What a way to start the new year with a guest like Suzanne. She's such a southern lady – born and raised in New Orleans - she is all about genteel manners and living a wonderful, full life surrounded by family and friends and beautiful things. And believe me, she knows beautiful things. Her NYC apartment and her Los Angeles house are both gorgeous, filled with beautiful 18th century antiques and wonderful art and accessories. She believes in buying good things one at a time rather than just filling up a space with cheap copies. Her houses certainly reflect this philosophy. She and her husband have spent a lifetime collecting, editing, and upgrading. Each piece is exquisite, not an ashtray out of place. It's all so lovely, yet tastefully understated. Her house in L.A. is welcoming and inviting, not stuffy or precious, while her NYC apartment is sophisticated cool and calm, an oasis above the noisy city.
I've been in love with Suzanne's aesthetic for years and years. Her L.A. house appeals to me – in all its versions. Over the years it has changed and evolved and at each stage it just gets better and better. On the Roundtable, we talked with Suzanne about her homes, both of which are featured in her newly released book. For me, At Home is one of the better décor books released this season. It's filled with her best projects, some of which have never been seen before. Some of the houses that have been previously published are shown recently updated, including her own L.A. house and the Virginian farm whose publication first put Suzanne on the map. But, it's her NYC apartment that is the standout of the book. Seriously, it is the most gorgeous place I've seen in a long time. The luscious grisaille mural in the living room, which was painted by Bob Christian is nothing if not mouthwatering. During the interview, Suzanne talks about that mural and Bob's work and the apartment in general. Without a doubt, it's her finest work to date.
If you have the time, be sure to click over to the Skirted Roundtable HERE and listen to the discussion!
I love watching the evolution of Suzanne's L.A. house. For instance, in the early 80s, her living room had persimmon walls and green curtains with pink striped upholstery.
Today, wearing its summer slips in blue and white stripes, the room is now painted a soft green. All the furniture is the same, moved from room to room. Much came from her and her husband's family. Design is generational in both families. Suzanne learned about decorating and gardening from her mother and grandmother. Her husband shares her love of art and antiques and their vacations are spent looking at both. (Sorry this is such a poor scan!)
And here, without the slips.
Another big change is in her bedroom – here in the 80s and 90s, her bedroom was all English chintz to perfection.
As it is today shown in At Home: it's more French, soft and romantic with a painted floor by Bob Christian.
Another view of her bedroom today. Something tells me that fur is not from Pottery Barn!!!! It's gorgeous.
The Virginian farm: over the years Suzanne has remodeled the house, but the master bedroom always remained the same. Why mess with perfection? So, it was a surprise to see the room completely redone in At Home.
The newly refurnished master bedroom with twin canopies.
Another surprise in At Home: the Virginian master bathroom, never seen before. Notice the Bob Christian mural behind the gorgeous urn. And notice the faucet coming out of the pedestal. That tub!!!
In At Home, another never seen before interior: The "Garden Office" located in a small cottage on the Virginian property. Notice the striped floors. And I love how Suzanne put the urns on the table and not on the columns. I love the French library ladder. Doesn't every garden office need one?
The living room in Suzanne's NYC new apartment – seen both in At Home and Elle Décor. The heart stopping grisaille mural was painted by Bob Christian. Isn't it beautiful???? You will never find anything trendy in Suzanne's decorating. I love this quote of hers, talking about Axel Vervoordt: "The man has the most amazing sense of art and style. I believe his influence will endure long after the flood of China-made Belgian-esque furniture has ruined that look for many people." Hear that Restoration Hardware?
Christian also painted the floor in the foyer. The Swedish sofa is to die for! I love the blush peach pillow against the taupe fabric. Those sconces!!!!
A corner of the living room with inherited chairs.
The library. Notice how beautiful the fireplace mantel is! I love the touch of peach.
Twin canopy beds are the focal point in the master bedroom which moves from the mushroom color to peach. I love how she uses the French chair as a book stand!

A teenager coming of age in Vietnam in the '40s is faced with new challenges and troubling news as he asserts his independence in this drama. Kim (Le The Lu) is a 15-year-old living in a rural area where a six-month rainy season causes frequent flooding, threatening the lives of the water buffalo which are crucial to the livelihood of the farmers.
Eager to prove himself, Kim is given the important task of leading two buffalo to higher ground by his father Dinh (Nguyen Huu Thanh), but the flooding proves to be more than Kim counted on, and he returns with the news that one of the animals died during the journey.
After an angry confrontation with Dinh, Kim strikes out on his own and goes to work for a farmer named Det (Kra Zan Sram), while striking up a friendship with Ban (Nguyen Thi Kieu Trihn), a woman who works with Det.
Kim and Dinh resolve their differences shortly before Dinh's passing, but now Kim must deal with the responsibilities of burying his father and the startling revelation that his mother is not who he believed she was.

Department of Revenue News Release
June 23, 2011Executive Order Extends Time Tornado Victims Won't Have to Pay State Fees for Replacement Documents
JEFFERSON CITY - Relief for Joplin area citizens who lost their state driver licenses, identification cards or vehicle ownership documents will be extended thanks to an executive order signed by Gov. Jay Nixon.
"While everyone in Joplin has rightly focused on recovering and getting back to work, people and businesses shouldn't have to worry about paying for copies of documents that were lost in the storm" said Alana M. Barragán-Scott, director of the Missouri Department of Revenue. "Gov. Nixon's extension will give tornado victims even more time to replace those important documents at no cost from the state."
Executive Order 11-19 extends an earlier executive order, which waived the regular state fees for duplicate or replacement motor vehicle or identification documents for Missouri citizens affected by the May 22 Joplin tornado. People affected by the storm will now have until September 15, 2011, to get their replacement documents without any state fees being charged. Had the executive order not been issued, the traditional fees would have begun to be charged earlier this week.
The documents or forms of identification that are covered by the executive order include motor vehicle titles, license plates, license plate tabs, driver licenses and nondriver identification cards.
Replacement documents can be obtained at the State of Missouri Resource, Recovery & Rebuilding Center, 705 Illinois Ave., Building A, in Joplin, (which is open from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday through Friday), or at the local license offices in Joplin, Carthage and Sarcoxie.

text: DLA Piper responds to European Commission Consultation on the development of secondary markets for NPLs Share this 24 OCT 2017 By: Amy Jacks Dr Dietmar Schulz LL.M. Laura Wright Mark Daley David Ampaw Jo Lloyd-Jones Mike Danielewsky Christian Lonquich Pablo Sanchez-Navajas José María Oliva Óscar Franco Pujol Orson Alcocer Alvaro Cid-Luna Francesco Ferrari Francesco De Gennaro Francesco De Blasio Nuno Azevedo Neves João Costa Quinta A group of portfolio solutions lawyers across DLA Piper's global firm have been pleased to provide their views on the European Commission's consultation on the development of secondary markets for non-performing loans and distressed assets, and protection of secured creditors from borrowers' default, which closed on Friday 20 October 2017. DLA Piper's market leading Portfolio Solutions group, with its long track record in advising banks, loan servicers and financial investors on the largest, cross-border and domestic loan portfolio transactions worldwide, is well placed to assist the Commission in its work to better understand the current NPL markets and how they may be improved. Clearly it is important that all financial institutions are encouraged to reduce NPL levels in order to promote efficient deployment of capital and to prepare for future market changes (such as potential interest rate rises). We therefore welcome the Commission's investigations of how current NPL levels may be resolved, including by further developing secondary markets for NPLs. Key points which we hope the Commission will take into consideration in its work include: The need to address the factors contributing to the bid-ask gap for NPLs, such as treatment of provisioning and write offs by banks leading to high ask prices, and high costs and a need for high returns which can result in low offer prices from investors Ways in which access to loan information for investors may be improved, such as considering changes to data protection rules to allow for information to be shared more easily (while still providing sufficient protection for debtors) and measures, such as standardising due diligence information, to encourage originating lenders to collect and store relevant loan information in an easily accessible form from the outset Procedural and regulatory improvements to support the trading and resolution of NPLs Other solutions to the NPL problem and ways in which they might be encouraged in appropriate circumstances, including the use of joint ventures, securitisation structures, bad banks and common platforms for resolving NPLs (such as those which are being used in Portugal and Italy) The consultation also considers the introduction of a European-wide security instrument which could allow for out-of-court enforcement of security. While seeking ways in which lenders can achieve a quicker exit from NPLs, in a manner which is consistent across EU Member States, is a worthy goal, there appear to be some challenges to achieving this through the proposed security instrument. It may be difficult to agree the form of such an instrument due to legal, constitutional and cultural differences across Member States. In addition, even if such an instrument were introduced, there could be issues with low levels of lender take up in jurisdictions where lenders consider court involvement in enforcement to provide a level of protection from claims from borrowers that the enforcement process has been improper or that the enforcement proceeds achieved are too low. We await with interest the Commission's feedback on responses to the consultation. A copy of the European Commission's consultation paper is available here. Read more about DLA Piper's market leading Portfolio Solutions group.

While the BBC features reviews of Vista by ordinary folk, someone dove into Vista's EULA [.pdf] only to find that when you upgrade from a previous version of Windows, the license of that product becomes invalid. What this means, basically, is that after you've upgraded your XP install to Vista, you cannot use the license of your old XP install on another computer. Tom's Hardware, in the meantime, published an in-depth benchmark comparing Windows XP to Vista, concluding that "Vista is the better Windows, because it behaves better, because it looks better and because it feels better. But it cannot perform better than Windows XP." APCMag, lastly, wonders what can be learnt from the Vista launch.

Cataloging Label Program frequently asked questions
Show all answersHide all answers / Print
General questions
What are the system requirements for the Label Program?
The system requirements for the OCLC Cataloging Label Program are available as part of the Program's Getting Started documentation.
How do I get the Label Program software?
The Label Program is available to all OCLC Cataloging members at no charge. It is available via electronic download.
Can I install under a directory name with spaces?
No, you cannot install the Label Program in a directory name that contains spaces such as "Program Files." Such names cause problems when you try to start the Label Program from the program icon and when you try to use the label file.
What is the current version of the Label Program?
Label Program 1.22 is the current version; use it to view and print labels from Connexion. OCLC also supports version 1.21. Both versions can print multiple labels from files.
What are the file specifications?
If you need to create label files using your local system, consult the file structure of label formats.
What do I do when I get error messages when importing?
If you receive the error "Error reading label" followed by "Import not complete. # labels imported," the information in the data file is not recognized by the label program. Delete the data file and regenerate the label data to be imported.
How do I import label information?
You can import labels from a text file created in Connexion browser or client.
Location and names of the data files must be verified before importing. In Connexion client, the default label file location is:
X:\Program files\OCLC\Connexion\Program\Labels.txt
When ready to import, click the Import button on the toolbar, or select Import from the File menu. At the Import File window, select the file to be imported. Then click the Open button. Select the format of the label data being imported and click OK. After the label data has been imported into the Label Program, a message appears indicating that the import was successful, and a prompt appears to delete the data file.
Can I use an Hewlett-Packard 5P or 6P Laser printer?
For Hewlett-Packard 5 and 6 Laser printers, install the HP III, HP4, or earlier printer driver. Do not set it as the default driver, as it affects printing from other Windows applications. Select the printer driver from the Print Options window in the OCLC Cataloging Label Program. This should solve problems printing labels using SL4 format.
Using an old dot-matrix printer, can I print labels?
Your printer may be able to print labels from the Cataloging Label program. Older dot-matrix printers have DIP switches, which control carriage return, line feed, and printer emulation. (See your printer manual for information on DIP switches.) The printer emulation must match the printer driver used by the Cataloging Label program. You may need to install additional printer driver(s) through the Add Printer Wizard. Select the printer driver from the Print Options window in the Cataloging Label Program.
How do I print a label other than the first label on a sheet?
Open the Options menu, select Print and turn on the option for prompt for options. Now when you print labels, the software asks which column and row to begin printing.
Note: This answer does not apply to continuous paper.
What font and font size should I use?
For best results with a variety of printers, use the default font (ALA BT Courier) and the default default size (12 points). OCLC designed the program around this font and point size. Other fonts and sizes may work. However, OCLC cannot guarantee that a different font and/or font size will produce correctly formatted labels.
