Can the Giants Defend Their Title through the Draft?

The Giants may be Super Bowl Champions, but there are always areas to improve on
The New York Giants won Super Bowl XLVI over the New England Patriots despite a middling regular season that required them to win in Week 17 to take the NFC East and qualify for the playoffs. It was a journey that reminded many of their Super Bowl XLII victory over New England four seasons ago. And like that offseason, the Giants still have a number of holes to fill in their roster.
In 2008, the Giants were able to draft key contributors for this team, including wide receiver Mario Manningham and safety Kenny Phillips. It's now time for them to start looking at where to make improvements to this Super Bowl winning squad.
Left Tackle
The Giants were forced to try out several different players at left tackle in 2011. This caused havoc for the running game, as both Ahmad Bradshaw and Brandon Jacobs averaged under four yards per carry. Will Beatty was a half-hearted attempt to fix the problem. When he got hurt, New York moved Dave Diehl from guard to tackle at the end of the season. With the Giants holding the 32nd pick in the first round, they should set their sights on some offensive line help that will be available there. Mike Adams of Ohio State and Ziebre Sanders of Florida State should be targets for them. The Giants are in need of youth and talent on their line, starting with left tackle.
It seems that whenever the New York Giants make the Super Bowl, one no name player who is not really that great makes a huge play and becomes famous. In 2007, it was wide receiver David Tyree making a circus catch in the fourth quarter. This year, it was middle linebacker Chase Blackburn intercepting a deep Tom Brady pass intended for Rob Gronkowski. Blackburn should return to obscurity after his 15 minutes of fame, and the Giants will still have a hole at linebacker. New York lost intended starter Greg Jones early in the season to injury and had to fill in the position from there. Jones is not a world beater to begin with, and most fans were clamoring for him to be replaced even before the injury. Outside linebacker Mathias Kiwanuka is a defensive end playing out of position, but is serviceable at linebacker for now. The Giants should target a middle linebacker in free agency if they can, but they are currently $7 million over the cap.
Right Tackle
Kareem Mackenzie has been one of the most solid right tackles in the league for the past few seasons, but he is 34 years old and now a free agent. Good teams move on from players before they become liabilities, and he is on the verge of becoming just that. If he comes back at a reduced price, he is worth keeping around for at least another year. He would be crazy to move on from an organization he has won two championships with, but if he does, the market for younger tackles will be thin for the Giants. While Anthony Collins of the Cincinnati Bengals may be an option, the Giants may have to address this position in the draft, just like with the left tackle position.
You would think that this team is set at defensive end, but that is both the beauty and the oddity of the New York Giants: they never have enough. It looks like Osi Umenyiora may be ready to move on from the Giants. If he does, then they will need a third end in their rotation. Instead of looking at lower level free agents like Frostee Rucker or even a Robert Mathis, the Giants may look to add depth in the middle rounds.
Brandon Jacobs would come back to the Giants, but what he wants from them is uncertain. His constant state of feeling disrespected is wearing and makes him seem like a crybaby. On top of that, the team relies more on Ahmad Bradshaw. If Jacobs decides he will continue to work on being a part of the Giants going forward, then the position will most likely remain untouched. But if things continue to look rocky, the team may be looking for running back help in the middle or late rounds. Bernard Pierce of Temple is a hard running, 216-pound back who could compliment Bradshaw.
The Giants simply have one pick in every round of the draft, and as Super Bowl champions, that pick is the last pick in each round, which puts them at a slight disadvantage. Still, the Draft represents a very good opportunity for the team to build around a core that has brought another championship to New York. Protecting Eli Manning while attacking the other team's quarterback is a key for this team, and this draft will offer the team a chance to build a strong foundation for the next few years.

Despite being a reading and writing system with a long and proven history, braille is no longer the go-to communication choice for most people with blindness or visual impairment. It's estimated that only 10% of blind people know braille, and the system is no longer commonly taught to blind students. This may be due in part to the advent of assistive technology that can read print for people: a common myth is that braille is just not as fast or efficient as a screen reader or other device.
The truth, however, is that braille users can achieve reading speeds as fast as or in some cases even faster than those of print readers; it's really just a matter of learning the right methods and practice, practice, practice. In this three part series, "How to Learn Braille in Six Months", Jerry Whittle of the Louisiana Center for the Blind dispels some of those common myths and takes you through the techniques, habits and recommended manuals that will get you up to speed in no time!


It seems that everyone with a blog is always apologizing for not posting in a while, as if this has somehow inconvenienced their readers. Of course, with the magic of feed readers, email notifications, and the like, this is not true at all. You, gentle reader, in all likelihood have not even thought about my blog once since the last time I posted. (Yes, I forgive you.) So I won't apologize for not posting in a while. If I did, I might ask you to please forgive me due to the fact that I am hard at work on graduate school applications. But I won't, remember? Onwards!
You may recall that my last post concerned the game of Nuclear Pennies. If you don't remember it–or if you haven't had a chance to try solving it yourself–now is a good time!
This puzzle seems rather difficult to solve by trying random moves that appear to get one closer to the solution. However, consider the board a sequence of integers, each being the number of pennies at that location, and the moves as adding or subtracting (+1, -1, +1) to three consecutive values.
I added labels to show where the four critical moves are happening in the midst of George's solution above.
If you tried the second challenge, that of moving a penny only five spaces to the left instead of six, you probably didn't succeed: it turns out that this is impossible! A single penny can only be moved by multiples of six. Tomorrow I'll prove it to you — using, of all things, complex numbers! "Complex numbers!?" I hear you exclaim. "What on earth can complex numbers possibly have to do with penny-shuffling games?" Just wait and see, dear reader!

Stalls (Part One)
Filed Under: Maintaining Aircraft Control
A stall is an aerodynamic condition which occurs when smooth airflow over the airplane's wings is disrupted, resulting in loss of lift. Specifically, a stall occurs when the AOA—the angle between the chord line of the wing and the relative wind—exceeds the wing's critical AOA. It is possible to exceed the critical AOA at any airspeed, at any attitude, and at any power setting. [Figure 4-4]
Figure 4-4. Critical angle of attack and stall. [click image to enlarge]
For these reasons, it is important to understand factors and situations that can lead to a stall, and develop proficiency in stall recognition and recovery. Performing intentional stalls will familiarize the pilot with the conditions that result in a stall, assist in recognition of an impending stall, and develop the proper corrective response if a stall occurs. Stalls are practiced to two different levels:
Impending Stall—an impending stall occurs when the AOA causes a stall warning, but has not yet reached the critical AOA. Indications of an impending stall can include buffeting, stick shaker, or aural warning.
Full Stall—a full stall occurs when the critical AOA is exceeded. Indications of a full stall are typically that an uncommanded nose-down pitch cannot be readily arrested, and this may be accompanied by an uncommanded rolling motion. For airplanes equipped with stick pushers, its activation is also a full stall indication.
Flight Literacy Recommends
Rod Machado's How to Fly an Airplane Handbook – Learn the basic fundamentals of flying any airplane. Make flight training easier, less expensive, and more enjoyable. Master all the checkride maneuvers. Learn the "stick and rudder" philosophy of flying. Prevent an airplane from accidentally stalling or spinning. Land a plane quickly and enjoyably.
Although it depends on the degree to which a stall has progressed, some loss of altitude is expected during recovery. The longer it takes for the pilot to recognize an impending stall, the more likely it is that a full stall will result. Intentional stalls should therefore be performed at an altitude that provides adequate height above the ground for recovery and return to normal level flight.
Stall Recognition
A pilot must recognize the flight conditions that are conducive to stalls and know how to apply the necessary corrective action. This level of proficiency requires learning to recognize an impending stall by sight, sound, and feel.
Stalls are usually accompanied by a continuous stall warning for airplanes equipped with stall warning devices. These devices may include an aural alert, lights, or a stick shaker all which alert the pilot when approaching the critical AOA. Certification standards permit manufacturers to provide the required stall warning either through the inherent aerodynamic qualities of the airplane or through a stall warning device that gives a clear indication of the impending stall. However, most vintage airplanes, and many types of light sport and experimental airplanes, do not have stall warning devices installed.
Other sensory cues for the pilot include:
Feel—the pilot will feel control pressures change as speed is reduced. With progressively less resistance on the control surfaces, the pilot must use larger control movements to get the desired airplane response. The pilot will notice the airplane's reaction time to control movement increases. Just before the stall occurs, buffeting, uncommanded rolling, or vibrations may begin to occur.
Vision—since the airplane can be stalled in any attitude, vision is not a foolproof indicator of an impending stall. However, maintaining pitch awareness is important.
Hearing—as speed decreases, the pilot should notice a change in sound made by the air flowing along the airplane structure.
Kinesthesia—the physical sensation (sometimes referred to as "seat of the pants" sensations) of changes in direction or speed is an important indicator to the trained and experienced pilot in visual flight. If this sensitivity is properly developed, it can warn the pilot of an impending stall.
Pilots in training must remember that a level-flight 1G stalling speed is valid only:
In unaccelerated 1G flight
In coordinated flight (slip-skid indicator centered)
At one weight (typically maximum gross weight)
At a particular center of gravity (CG) (typically maximum forward CG)
Angle of Attack Indicators
Learning to recognize stalls without relying on stall warning devices is important. However, airplanes can be equipped with AOA indicators that can provide a visual indication of the airplane's proximity to the critical AOA. There are several different kinds of AOA indicators with varying methods for calculating AOA, therefore proper installation and training on the use of these devices is important. AOA indicators measure several parameters simultaneously, determine the current AOA, and provide a visual image of the proximity to the critical AOA. [Figure 4-5] Some AOA indicators also provide aural indications, which can provide awareness to a change in AOA that is trending towards the critical AOA prior to installed stall warning systems. It's important to note that some indicators take flap position into consideration, but not all do.
Figure 4-5. A conceptual representation of an AOA indicator. It is important to become familiar with the equipment installed in a specific airplane.
Understanding what type of AOA indicator is installed on an airplane, how the particular device determines AOA, what the display is indicating and when the critical AOA is reached, and what the appropriate response is to those indications are all important components to AOA indicator training. It is also encouraged to conduct in-flight training to see the indications throughout various maneuvers, like slow flight, stalls, takeoffs, and landings, and to practice the appropriate responses to those indications. It is also important to note that some items may limit the effectiveness of an AOA indicator (e.g., calibration techniques, wing contamination, unheated probes/vanes). Pilots flying an airplane equipped with an AOA indicator should refer to the pilot handbook information or contact the manufacturer for specific limitations applicable to that indicator type.
Stall Characteristics
Different airplane designs can result in different stall characteristics. The pilot should know the stall characteristics of the airplane being flown and the manufacturer's recommended recovery procedures. Factors that can affect the stall characteristics of an airplane include its geometry, CG, wing design, and high-lift devices. Engineering design variations make it impossible to specifically describe the stall characteristics for all airplanes; however, there are enough similarities in small general aviation training-type airplanes to offer broad guidelines.
Most training airplanes are designed so that the wings stall progressively outward from the wing roots (where the wing attaches to the fuselage) to the wingtips. Some wings are manufactured with a certain amount of twist, known as washout, resulting in the outboard portion of the wings having a slightly lower AOA than the wing roots. This design feature causes the wingtips to have a smaller AOA during flight than the wing roots. Thus, the wing roots of an airplane exceed the critical AOA before the wingtips, meaning the wing roots stall first. Therefore, when the airplane is in a stalled condition, the ailerons should still have a degree of control effectiveness until/unless stalled airflow migrates outward along the wings. Although airflow may still be attached at the wingtips, a pilot should exercise caution using the ailerons prior to the reduction of the AOA because it can exacerbate the stalled condition. For example, if the airplane rolls left at the stall ("rolls-off"), and the pilot applies right aileron to try to level the wing, the downward-deflected aileron on the left wing produces a greater AOA (and more induced drag), and a more complete stall at the tip as the critical AOA is exceeded. This can cause the wing to roll even more to the left, which is why it is important to first reduce the AOA before attempting to roll the airplane.
The pilot must also understand how the factors that affect stalls are interrelated. In a power-off stall, for instance, the cues (buffeting, shaking) are less noticeable than in the power-on stall. In the power-off, 1G stall, the predominant cue may be the elevator control position (full up elevator against the stops) and a high descent rate.

Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis orders probe by ACB in MNREGA graft in Hingolihttps://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/maharashtra-cm-devendra-fadnavis-orders-probe-by-acb-in-mnrega-graft-in-hingoli-3019469/
Maharashtra CM Devendra Fadnavis orders probe by ACB in MNREGA graft in Hingoli
The state government Wednesday ordered an Anti-Corruption Bureau probe into misuse of funds in MNREGA in Hingoli, Marathwada.
Published: September 8, 2016 4:13:52 am
Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has assured that such instances need to be immediately curbed and the guilty punished.
Addressing 18 complaints across the state during Lokshahi din, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis gave an audience to complaints from ordinary citizens across the state.
During the interaction, Shyam Shevalkar brought to the notice the siphoning of funds from MNREGA projects in Hingoli.
He said, "There are several instances where the person against whose name the funds are being set aside are no more alive or are elderly citizen. They don't report to work under MNREGA schemes. Yet, money is being lifted in their name by some vested interest."
Fadnavis directed an ACB investigation. He assured that such instances need to be immediately curbed and the guilty punished.
Forum for policemen
Earlier, during a meeting with family members of police personnel, the chief minister said that a forum will be set up to address the concerns of police and their family members.
While acknowledging the need to address critical concerns of police and their family members, he said, "I reckon there is a need to have a forum where problems of police are attended."
"The state government is sensitive to the challenges in policing. In the last two years, my government has taken several welfare measures," he added.
He said, "A committee will be formed to address police problems. It will have representatives from the police family."
He stressed on increasing interaction between police and public. He also indicated that the government was working on projects related to health of policemen.
While referring to the importance given by government to police housing, he said,
"We have planned Rs 2,000 crore housing projects." In the past, successive governments gave a meagre amount to the housing sector.
Among several initiatives for police welfare, full day salary to police for working on a holiday and including them in the PM Awas Yojna are being implemented.

Student Discount longer than 4 years?
Due to a transfer, I will be in university for five years instead of four, and the student discount only lasts for four years. Is there a way to get that discount for a longer period of time? I have a new school email from for the transfer school. Would I be able to use that for four years, or is it just 4 in total? Would creating a new account once the previous discount runs out reset the amount of years I have? If I don't update it immediately and pay the $10 for one month, will the year counter reset? Thanks in advance for any help.

Winning the Battle Against Breast Cancer
Kelly E. Carter October 1, 2007 November 25, 2008 435
York-Presbyterian Hospital/Columbia University Medical Center in New York City, says she performs more radical surgeries on younger patients these days. A 28-year-old patient of hers, who has a very strong family history of cancer and a genetic predisposition, had both breasts removed after being diagnosed with cancer in her left breast for the second time, although no cancer was found in the right.
"Many women are saying, 'Hey, I've had enough and can't live like this; I feel like a ticking time bomb,'" Joseph says. "Younger patients want the best odds at survival, and many younger women don't want to have to do this again."
The American Cancer Society reports that 178,480 new cases of invasive breast cancer are expected this year. Excluding cancers of the skin, breast cancer is the most common cancer among all women, accounting for nearly one in three cancers diagnosed in U.S. women. The incidence rate of breast cancer is about 12% lower in African American women than in white women; however, among women under 40, the incidence is higher. The disease is the most common cancer for African American women, affecting 27%, followed by lung cancer at 13%.
Regardless of age, the death rate for breast cancer among African American women was 36% higher in 2004 than for white women, according to the American Cancer Society. The organization estimates that more than 40,000 women will succumb to breast cancer this year, and of those, almost 6,000 will be African American. The five-year survival rate among African American women with breast cancer diagnosed between 1996 and 2002 was 77%, compared to 90% among whites — numbers the American Cancer Society attributes to the disparity in detection and poorer stage-specific survival.
Of all breast cancers diagnosed among African American women, 52% of cases are diagnosed at a localized stage, meaning they are confined to the breast, compared to 62% among white women. The stage of detection among all women is critical because survival rates increase drastically the earlier the cancer is _discovered. In African American women diagnosed when the disease was at its localized stage, the five-year survival rate from 1996 to 2002 was 94%; at the regional stage (spread to surrounding tissue) it was 77%; 16% at the distant stage (after it has metastasized); and 45% at unstaged. Some evidence suggests that African _Americans have more aggressive and larger tumors than white women, according to the American Cancer Society.
Although Joseph says she sees more African American women being diagnosed at earlier stages, it's not at the level she would like and definitely not at the level she sees with her white patients. In August she said she saw a 62-year-old woman who had just had her first mammogram and was diagnosed with an advanced stage of breast cancer. She _attributes the recurring late diagnosis to a combination of factors. "I think it's fear of the doctors," Joseph says. "It's almost like a fatalistic thing, like if it's meant to be it's meant to be and there's nothing that

Q: What's the easiest way to list files of a given extension, save that list to a text file, but omitting the actual extensions when in the text file? This is for a counterstrike server, where mapcycle.txt contains all the maps found in the maps/ folder, but the list of maps must not contain the .bsp extension.
Example of maps/ folder:
map1.bsp
map2.bsp

mapcycle.txt should contain
map1
maps2

I am aware of how to do part of it:
find /path/to/maps/ -iname *.bsp > /path/to/mapcycle.txt

But I don't know how to have it omit the .bsp extensions inside the actual mapcycle.txt

A: Use find and basename:
find maps/ -iname '*.bsp' -exec basename {} .bsp \; > mapcycle.txt

The -exec flag runs the rest of the command line (until a ; or + is encountered) replacing {} with the the filename of a selected file (including the path). basename /path/to/filename.suffix .suffix will strip out the suffix and the path and leave only filename.

A: It will be:

ls *.bsp | awk -F"." '{print $1}' > mapcycle.txt

A: cd  to map folder

and execute
ls *.bsp |sed s/\.[^\.]*$// >> list.txt

Q: Nested Future.sequence executes included Futures sequentially I have a future(doFour) that is executed and results passed to a flatmap.
Inside the flatmap I execute two more future(doOne and doTwo) functions expecting them to run on parallel but I see they are running sequentially (2.13). Scastie
Why are doOne and doTwo not execute in parallel ?
How can I have them to run in parallel ?
import scala.concurrent.ExecutionContext.Implicits.global
import scala.concurrent.duration.Duration
import scala.concurrent.{Await, Future}

object Test {
  def doOne(): Future[Unit] = Future {
    println("startFirst");      Thread.sleep(3000);     println("stopFirst")
  }

  def doTwo(): Future[Unit] = Future {
    println("startSecond");      Thread.sleep(1000);      println("stopSecond")
  }

  def doFour(): Future[Unit] = Future {
    println("do 4");     Thread.sleep(1000);     println("done 4")

  }

  def main(args: Array[String]) {

    val resOut = doFour().flatMap { a =>

      val futureOperations = Seq(doOne(), doTwo())

      val res = Future.sequence(futureOperations)
      res
    }

    val stream = Await.result(resOut, Duration.Inf)
  }
}

A: A Future becomes eligible for execution as soon as it is created. So this line creates two Futures that can potentially be executed:
val futureOperations = Seq(doOne(), doTwo())

The call to Future.sequence will create a new Future that waits for each of the futures to complete in turn, but they will both already be available for execution by this point in the code.
val res = Future.sequence(futureOperations)

If you want Futures to start sequentially you need to use map/flatMap:
val res = doOne().map( _ => doTwo())

With this code doTwo will not be called until doOne completes (and not at all if doOne fails)
The reason that this does not appear to happen in your example is that you are calling a blocking operation in your Future which is blocking a thread that would otherwise be used to execute other Futures. So although there are two Futures available for execution, only one is actually being executed at a time.
If you mark the code as blocking it works correctly:
import scala.concurrent.blocking

def doOne(): Future[Unit] = Future {
  blocking{println("startFirst");      Thread.sleep(3000);     println("stop First")}
}

def doTwo(): Future[Unit] = Future {
  blocking{println("startSecond");      Thread.sleep(1000);      println("stop Second")}
}

See the comments section for details of why the default behaviour is different on different versions, and why you should never make assumptions about the relative execution order of independent Futures.

There may be thousands of mistakes, I'm struggling with react and redux so hard...
What is the problem? Can you help me please? Thank you for your attention.

A: First I will like to advice to switch to using hooks for redux as they simplify everything.
Instead of connect you can import useDispatch and useSelector from react-redux and use them (hooks) to access and mutate your redux state.
E.g

import { useSelector, useDispatch } from "react-redux"

import { addTodo } from "../actions/actions"

export const Todo = () => {

  //accessing your list of todos
   const todos = useSelector(state => state.todos)

  //dispatching an action
  const dispatch = useDispatch()

   const onAddTodo = () => dispatch(addTodo(someData))

   return (

          <input
            onChange={inputTextHandler}
            value={inputText}
            type="text"
            className="form-control"
            id="inputEmail3"
            placeholder="add todo here"
          />
          <button
            type="button"
            onClick={() => setinputText("")}
            style={{ marginTop: "25px", marginRight: "15px" }}
            className="btn btn-danger"
          >
            Cancel
          </button>
          <button
            type="button"
            onClick={onAddTodo}
            style={{ marginTop: "25px" }}
            className="btn btn-success"
          >
            Add Todo
          </button>

  );
}

When using hooks generally, there's something you need to understand, hooks are declared right inside the main component.
You can't declare a hook inside another function of the component.
E.g
Let's use the above code for our example.
In the above code we defined onAddTodo function where we used to to dispatch an action to our redux state.
How we do the above code is correct but there will be a situation where we can be wrong and react will of course throw us an error like the one you re currently facing.
Below is the wrong way of using hooks because it's been declared or initiated right inside a function that's not the main component.
const onAddTodo = () => {
   //WRONG...
   const dispatch = useDispatch()

   dispatch(addTodo(someData))
}

A: After looking at your code, I saw this.
 <button
            type="button"
            onClick={(inputText = "")}
            style={{ marginTop: "25px", marginRight: "15px" }}
            className="btn btn-danger"
          >

The problem is with :
onClick={(inputText = "")}

The state of a component can be changed only with the function that is provided when you create the state.
In your case that function is called setInputText.
Your button should look like this :
const handleInputReset = () => setInputText('');

<button
                type="button"
                onClick={handleInputReset}
                style={{ marginTop: "25px", marginRight: "15px" }}
                className="btn btn-danger"
              >

CeBIT 2017: The world's largest computer expo returns to Hanover.
From digitally connected to dogs to high-tech home brewing, CeBIT remained reliably roguish, while still providing houseroom for more high-minded pursuits, such as inspection drones, electronic parking permits and 3D printing systems.
CeBIT, the world's largest computer expo, has taken place in Hanover every year since 1986. While the event has a long tradition of delivering firsts, the 2017 show was almost certainly unique in showcasing something of considerable interest to beer drinkers – the world's first fully automated home brewery.
The Brewie system, which costs about US$1,800 and will brew up 20 litres of beer at a time, is the brainchild of Marcell Pal, a Hungarian inventor. He hit upon the idea after sampling the home brew of Andrew Winter, a friend and fellow beer enthusiast.
Recalling his light-bulb moment, he said: "I was amazed that his beer was quite so good and so very cheap – he made it for about 40 cents a bottle. When I asked why he hadn't made more, he explained that it involved a very time-consuming process.
"It was then that the idea struck me of automating the process. At first, we planned just to make a machine for our own use, but then we realised there was potentially a far bigger market. We did some research and the feedback was very positive. The Americans, in particular, went crazy about the idea."
The two then launched a company at the beginning of 2014, with US$750,000 raised via a crowd-funding campaign on Indiegogo. Although Brewie is based in Budapest, the actual machines are made in Thailand, where Pal says he has found a factory with the necessary skills to meet the high specifications required.
The company's first brewing kits – stainless-steel boxes about 40cm high and 80cm long – shipped at the end of November last year. To date, some 250-300 units have been sold, primarily in Europe, but also to customers in the US and Australia. According to Pal, about half of his customers are experienced brewers, while the remainder are complete beginners. At present, the company is selling to home brewers, as well as to restaurants and large brewers wanting to experiment on a small scale. It even had an order from a pharmacist.
Summing up the appeal of the system, Pal said: "The main difference between Brewie and its rival systems is that it is the only one that can handle all of the steps required to brew beer, from mashing to boiling. It is also the only machine where you can start as a beginner, knowing nothing about brewing, and then acquire all of the skills required to become a real brewer."
As part of the service, the company supplies the recipes and all of the required raw ingredients, from malt to hops to yeast. It also provides bottles and five-litre mini-kegs for storing the finished beer. Once users gain sufficient confidence, they can then start experimenting with their own recipes, while being free to exchange their experiences with other Brewie owners via the company's website.
While Brewie was something of a one-off, there were plenty of more conventional themes apparent among the hundreds of exhibitors attending CeBIT 2017. One that was particularly hard to miss was the high volume of drones, with skilled remote piloting of these particular technical innovations in evidence both inside and outside the show hall.
A particularly impressive specimen was being showcased by the Düsseldorf-based Spectair Group – the Elios. Manufactured by Switzerland's Flyability, Spectair is an official reseller for the drone, which was billed as "the first collision-tolerant flying robot".
Introducing the product, Lukas Kremkau, Spectair's specialist Drone Pilot, said: "The Elios is basically an indoor inspection drone, suitable for use with tanks, vessels, chimneys and really any kind of structure where there is a very limited amount of space and a need to access the inaccessible."
The drone, which is 39cm across (smaller than the smallest manhole), comes with active illumination as standard, as well as an HD camera that can get to within 20cm of any surface being inspected, delivering a resolution of less than 0.2mm per pixel. It also comes with a protective cage that allows it to get as close to its target as possible without its safety being compromised.
Highlighting the system's value for money, Kremkau said: "While the Elios is not cheap – coming in at about US$28,000 – we made our investment back after using it for just four projects.
"Back in January, I inspected a 20,000 sq m tank, with the whole process taking only a day to complete. The only alternative to using the drone would have been to build up scaffolding inside the tank. This would have taken several weeks and cost about $112,000. We did it for just $3,500."
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the Internet of Things (IoT) was another dominant theme at this year's event, with one company – Tokyo-based Soracom – even managing to reinvent it as the Internet of Dogs and Cows. Founded in 2014 by several veterans of Japan's telecoms and cloud industries, the company now has offices in Copenhagen and Singapore and customers in 120 countries.
In the past 18 months, Soracom has raised more than US$30 million to fund its growth, securing the position as Japan's leading IoT connectivity provider. Its sim cards and data-transmission systems are now routinely used to monitor the safety of elderly people, track mobility devices, connect surveillance cameras, check on the status of wind and sun-powered street-light networks and to operate a remote "smart lock" door security service.
It also has a client that specialises in "wired up" jackets for dogs. Inside each jacket is a sensor connected to the net, which constantly updates the owner as to their dog's location and well-being.
A rather more commercial version of this set-up has been adopted by Farmnote, a Japanese company specialising in IoT systems for the dairy and livestock sectors. This sees Soracom's sensors used to monitor the health, location and mating patterns of a number of cattle herds, often requiring real-time coverage of thousands of animals.
Commenting on the company's diverse client base, Sandra Roosna, Soracom's Marketing and Business Development Director, said: "We now have more than 5,000 customers – including a number of extremely large businesses, such as Sharp and Nikon – and we strive to provide them all with a high level of data security.
"For small businesses, it's sometimes even more critical to provide them with a secure solution. Essentially, our aim is to democratise IoT, making it affordable to everyone, while keeping the security level as high as possible. To this end, all of our customers are privately connected and completely separate from the publicly available internet."
Connectivity is also the primary offer of Parkd, an Antwerp-based company that provides parking-payment services to more than 100 towns and cities across Belgium and the Netherlands. Introducing his company's services, Co-founder Olivier de Clercq said: "What we offer is a patent-pending parking solution using an on-board diagnostics [OBD] device that has been installed in every car manufactured since 2001.
"You can plug it into your diagnostic ports and it's like a secret gateway. It comes with GPS-compatibility and a sim card and, once it's plugged in, you can pay for your on-street parking automatically. That means you never need to feed parking meters, use an app or send a text message. You just park your car and forget about it."
Parkd began life as a side-project to a fleet-tracking project Pickmeup, its sister company, was conducting on behalf of a number of large logistics companies. Recalling those early days, de Clercq said: "While the clients liked our fleet software, they felt our parking system was truly unique. At that point, we stopped developing the fleet software and concentrated on the parking applications."
At the moment the system is only available to business users, such as rental car companies, all of which pay €9.95 (US$11.20) a month for each device in line with their two-year contracts. Looking to the future, de Clercq said: "At present the devices are expensive, but we are hoping to partner with a number of telecoms and insurance companies, allowing us to make them free to consumers, who then pay a monthly subscription fee of €2-3."
Alongside these mainstream themes were plenty of one-off instances of true technological wackiness, including the iClone. Essentially a combination of a rapid body scanner and a 3D printing system, the iClone produces full-colour miniature models of people who have been scanned, which can then be taken home for upwards of €70 a time.
The company behind the iClone is Kvint-R, a Hungarian office-equipment and printer distributor. Explaining its shift into the "Mini-me" sector, Jószef Spenger, a Director of the company's 3D division, said: "About three years ago, we started importing 3D printers from the US. Looking for applications for our hardware, we set out to develop our own 3D body scanner, which is now recognised as the fastest in the world. In total, scanning takes just 15 seconds, while rendering takes a further one and a half minutes, then we are completely ready to print. By comparison, other systems take three to four hours just to complete the rendering."
Currently, only two Kvint-R scanners have been produced. While one is being touted around the relevant trade fairs, the other is in the company's Budapest studio, where it is used to make mini-models as tourist souvenirs. A complete system costs $43,000, with Spenger emphasising it has applications beyond just making mini-models of passing clients. In particular, he says, it could be used to create digital clones of people for use in virtual-reality programmes.
By contrast, the products made by Berlin-based Sonnenrepublik are both considerably cheaper and, arguably, somewhat more useful. According to Ian Hansen, the company's Head of Sales, Sonnenrepublik basically offers "solar solutions" – solar panels for consumer use, including solar covers for smart phones and tablets, solar sunshades to power notebooks, LED lights, cooling systems and audio devices. It also provides backpack solar panels suitable for powering electronic devices on the hoof, solar roofs for golf carts and other electric vehicles, and solar road surfaces for larger-scale energy requirements.
The company's small solar wallet will recharge a phone in four hours, while a slightly larger one can do the job in two, with prices for these chargers in the €59-119 range. The company also offers 12-volt solar panel chargers for laptops for about €190.
Sonnenrepublik, which is marking its fifth anniversary this year, buys its solar cells from the Philippines before assembling its products in Turkey. It sells primarily into the German market, although it also has customers in Austria Switzerland and Australia.
If Sonnenrepublik has the answer to the flat phone battery problem that afflicts most of us at one time or another, then JustMe, an Austrian start-up, has the solution to a modern conundrum that few of us have ever probably pondered upon – just how do you get rid of surplus bystanders when you want to take a picture? Well, Tomas Musil, JustMe's chief executive, believes he has invented a video algorithm that can do just that.
Clearly a touch evangelical about his product, Musil said: "People, cars, animals, tourists… they will all disappear and you will get a clear picture of the background, whether it's a church, a landmark building or a monument. You can also manipulate images in ways that are not otherwise possible, producing a shot that leaves only the moving objects in focus or only the moving objects out of focus, for instance."
CeBIT 2017 took place from 20-24 March at the Hanover Exhibition Grounds.

Q: Why are Flash applications so sluggish/crashy? I've noticed that Flash applications tend to be more sluggish under Ubuntu than they do under Windows on the same machine. This is particularly noticeable when watching HD video or playing graphics/physics-heavy games. Are there any ways of improving the performance of Flash under Ubuntu, or is this just an issue with the Linux version that I will have to live with?
Currently I'm just cutting down on the number of tabs open, blocking flash ads, and closing other programs, but I'm looking for ways to affect Flash itself.
Other things I have already been doing include using Youtube's HTML5 feature and playing videos straight from /tmp in VLC. I was wondering if there was some way of streamlining Flash itself though. Perhaps not.
More Specific Question: Is there anything I can do in mms.cfg to boost performance?

A: Alternatively you can use Gnash or Lightspark.

A: This is an issue with the Flash Player - the Linux version has some performance issues with playing video.
Your best bet for sites like YouTube that support HTML5 video is to use that instead. (See here for details.) The performance is much better.

A: I would hope your using Ubuntu. Its pretty straight forward if you use the installer given to you from the adobe website.
It might just be a low on processing power since flash is processor extensive process, also more ram might help.
Also going to System > Administration > Hardware Profiles and making sure your graphics drivers have the correct settings helps.
:)

A: Try disabling desktop effects.

A: In addition to the suggestions above - try disabling compiz, using chrome, making sure the fastest graphics drivers are installed - you could try to override the Flash plugin's detection for hardware acceleration. I can't vouch for the usefulness of this hack, though.

A: Hardware acceleration in flash for video and graphics is currently only supported on Windows platform. See: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/fplayer10.1_hardware_acceleration.html

A: Try using Google Chrome browser. I found it to be faster than Firefox in Ubuntu, for normal pages or those with Flash.

A: If for instance you want to play a youtube video there is a workaround!
Flash buffers the video to you disk, that file will be in /tmp/ and called something like FlashXXp0sHC0, that is Flash + 8 random chars. You can play it in a normal player, or even copy it somewhere else for offline viewing (Note that in most countries it is illegal to copy the file since it a breaches copyright).
This approach will work on a lot of sites but depends on what the streaming format is. If in doubt you can use the file utility to detect what is in the file
user@host:~$ file /tmp/FlashXXp0sHC0
/tmp/FlashXXp0sHC0: ISO Media, MPEG v4 system, version 2

user@host:~$ file /tmp/FlashXXLE3wCf
/tmp/FlashXXLE3wCf: Macromedia Flash Video

A: I am running Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit with an Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS.  I have had Flash-related issues since performing a clean install of 12.04.  Just like you, I have installed the proprietary drivers, but System Settings > Details lists Graphics as "Unknown."
I was having speed issues, but most annoylingly, the same issues as reported in Flash video appears blue on this forum. Following the workaround posted at the previous link stopped the unwanted behavior of all Flash video being tinted blue, but ended up causing the Flash plugin to crash nearly every time I attempted to watch a video online.
The solution for me was to look back at /etc/adobe/mms.cfg and remove everything but one line, which should read:
 OverrideGPUValidation=true

If you are not sure how to do this, you can use your favorite text editor (for me it's vi) or you could pop open gedit with the following terminal command:
sudo gedit /etc/adobe/mms.cfg

Write in the OverrideGPUValidation=true line from above, save the file, and quit gedit.  Restart your browser and see if this solves the problems you are having.
This idea and others are discussed on ubuntuforums, and many other places. Please try changing your mms.cfg (or creating it, if it does not already exist) and post back with your results. Good luck!

A: If you're using the AMD64 build of Ubuntu, try downloading the beta AMD64 flash player.  The x86 build is run through an emulation layer that I've had tons of problems with.

A: I experienced the same annoyance under Ubuntu 12.04.3 on my netbook [Asus 1005PE, Intel GMA3150 video chipset, linux-generic-lts-raring kernel + xserver-xorg-video-intel-lts-raring]
In addition to the /etc/adobe/mms.cfg file workaround, I went to compizconfig settings manager (if not installed, sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager) and completely disabled the "dim windows" option under Effects, at the bottom section.
Less load on the system (without even giving up on Unity nor adobe-flashplugin), and voilà, fullscreen flash videos don't stutter now.

A: Flash video files are no longer in /tmp
this is a script that will locate and play the streaming flash video file using the Player of your choice
pastebin.com/dFamyLd5
If the stream is not fast enough there is no buffering the player will just stop or exit

To use it pause the streaming media and run the script
I use this command on a launcher with it
video smplayer "-close-at-end -fullscreen -minigui"
I saved the script to /usr/local/bin/video
If you use echo for the player parameter it will print the path to the video

This will not work on streams use DRM

Technically the answer to the question is cause flash is a piece of junk that should have died off a few years ago.

A: the easiest and for me the most reliable way to send other applications a message... is to use the WM_COPY event. You can get to this with some old school API calls.
Still valid in Windows 7 We implemented this same thing in a recent application and it works flawlessly on all windows platforms. (tested back to windows xp, but have use the same api in windows 98)
Here is a link to codeproject.
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/cs/ipc_wmcopy.aspx
Essentially register a window in the applications and send messages to that window. Then you can filter it down to the applications.
Pretty cool, and quite efficient. With a little tooling you can make an unlimited amount of application instances communicate with each other.

A: A message queue is a common pattern to communicate between processes.  Volure's version of that is cool.  A more common approach is to use MSMQ (Microsoft Message Queueing).

It is very common for you to still have feelings and thoughts about ending your life. This does not mean you have failed. It does not mean you are a loser. It does not mean it will always be like this. Keep trying. Keep working to get healthy. Do not give up. You are not that far away on a time line from wanting to end your life. Be kind to yourself.
The reality of your life has probably started to set in and may feel heavy. Your loved ones may be placing more responsibility on you than they did right after your suicide attempt. You may feel energized and excited about this or you may feel angry and overwhelmed.
Understand the people who have continued to keep your life afloat are struggling to stay healthy also. They will need your help too. You cannot expect that you will be catered to. Do not hold the people who are helping you emotionally hostage. Talk about these things with your therapist. Your therapist may be able to help you understand what you are capable of and why more is being expected of you.
Continue to set, attend, and honestly participate in your doctor and therapist appointments.
Continue to take your medication as prescribed.
You may start to feel healthy enough to become more involved in society and have a drive to give back. If you feel this way and have worked on finding your passions and things you feel strongly about, you may consider volunteering for a cause you love. Volunteering is another really great way for you to be involved with other people and work toward something. Some causes other suicide attempters have volunteered with are their local animal rescue or animal shelter, homeless shelter, soup kitchen, after school program, music programs, nursing and rehabilitation homes. This is a small list to tickle your brain. There are so many opportunities for all of us to get involved and give back. If you are a talented quilter you can make blankets for children's hospitals. If you love bead work you can create a piece of jewelry to sell for a cause you love or volunteer to create a piece for an organization that is already up and running. Do not limit your thinking here. You are needed and can be useful to whatever you choose. This does not necessarily need to be a calling to go somewhere and answer phones. There are many ways your special talents, and the person you are, can be useful and helpful to others when you are ready.

Eight journalists now behind bars in Azerbaijan
November 7, 2007 12:00 PM EST
New York, November 7, 2007—The editor-in-chief of a pro-government daily paper in Azerbaijan has been sentenced to prison on criminal defamation and insult charges, making him the eighth journalist in the country currently serving jail time. This imprisonment cements Azerbaijan position at the top of the list of countries jailing journalists in Europe and Central Asia.
Nazim Guliyev, head of Ideal, was given two-and-a-half years on Tuesday in Baku's Nasimi District Court.
"We are deeply concerned by the imprisonment of yet another journalist in Azerbaijan," said CPJ Executive Director Joel Simon. "Jailing Nazim Guliyev on defamation charges is an unacceptable response to his investigative work. We call on the Azerbaijani government to decriminalize defamation so that the country can join the ranks of democratizing societies, and to relinquish its disgraceful position as Europe and Central Asia's leading jailer of journalists."
Ramiz Zeynalov, head of Azerbaijan's Interior Ministry Traffic Police Department, filed a lawsuit against Guliyev after Ideal published two articles on widespread corruption within the department in May and August, local press reported. The trial began on October 29 and Guliyev did not have a lawyer, the director of the Baku-based Institute for Reporters' Freedom and Safety Emin Huseynov told CPJ. The editor did not write the articles.
Guliyev's sentence comes a week after the Azerbaijani Court of Heavy Crimes sentenced Eynulla Fatullayev, editor of now-shuttered Gündalik Azarbaycan and Realny Azerbaijan independent newspapers, to an eight-and-a-half-year prison term.

Judge declares mistrial in Bill Cosby's sexual assault case
Posted at 10:29 AM, Jun 17, 2017
The high-profile case accusing Bill Cosby of aggravated indecent assault ended in a mistrial Saturday after a Pennsylvania jury was unable to come to a unanimous decision.
The outcome leaves one of America's most recognized entertainers as well as his accusers without a measure of vindication. Prosecutors immediately announced they will retry the case.
About an hour into the sixth day of deliberations, Judge Steven O'Neill declared the jury of seven men and five woman hopelessly deadlocked in a legal battle closely watched by the public as well as dozens of women who have accused Cosby of similar misconduct in the past. He faced three charges of aggravated indecent assault.
"Do not feel like you've let the justice system down," O'Neill told the jurors, who labored for more than 53 hours and asked 12 questions of the court during deliberations.
Addressing Cosby, who appeared stoic and calm at the inconclusive end of his trial, O'Neill said: "It's not a failure or a victory,"
Outside court, Cosby did not speak, but a member of his press team read a scathing statement from his wife, Camille, blasting the prosecution, judge and media:
"How do I describe the District Attorney? Heinously and exploitively ambitious. How do I describe the judge? Overtly and arrogantly collaborating with the District Attorney. How do I describe the counsels for the accusers? Totally unethical. How do I describe many, but not all, general media? Blatantly vicious entities that continually disseminated intentional omissions of truths for the primary purpose of greedily selling sensationalism at the expense of a human life."
Angela Agrusa, a member of Cosby's legal team, also took aim at the prosecution.
"This is what happens," she told reporters. "Juries are stuck when a prosecutor seeks to put someone in prison for things that are simply not presented in the courtroom. And the jury stuck to what they were asked to do and that is to review the evidence before them and there simply wasn't enough."
At a news conference, Montgomery County District Attorney Kevin Steele said prosecutors will "evaluate and review our case" and retry Cosby.
"Our plan is to move this case forward as soon as possible," he said.
He expressed disappointment over the mistrial, praised the "extraordinary sacrifices' of the jury and said one of the "good outcomes" of the trial was that two Cosby accusers "got to face the defendant in court."
Attorney Gloria Allred, who represents many of Cosby's accusers, said she hopes the court will allow other "prior bad act witnesses" to testify at the next trial.
"If the court allows more accusers to testify … it might make a difference. In other words, it's too early to celebrate Mr. Cosby."
Linda Kirkpatrick, one of the accusers who stood with Allred outside the courthouse, said of Cosby, "He thought he could bury us. He didn't know we were seeds. We are sprouting up. We are looking for reform, uncovering the rape culture in this country where victims are blamed and shamed."
O'Neill said he would try to schedule a new trial within 120 days.
A day earlier, as the 79-year-old comedian left the courthouse, he talked to the cameras and crowds outside.
"I just want to wish all of the fathers a Happy Father's Day and I want to thank all of the jury for their long days, their honest work individually," Cosby said.
He said, "I also want to thank the supporters who've been here and please to the supporters, stay calm, do not argue with people, just keep up the great support. Thank you all. Thank you."
The 12 questions jurors asked of the court during deliberations essentially involved hearing the evidence for a second time. The jury's continued questions signaled possibility of a deadlock on any of the three counts of aggravated indecent assault against Cosby.
One of the questions from Friday was: "What is reasonable doubt?"
Prosecutors say Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted Andrea Constand, the former director of operations for Temple University's women's basketball team, at his home near Philadelphia in January 2004. Cosby pleaded not guilty to the charges.
On Thursday, jurors told the court they could not come to a unanimous decision beyond a reasonable doubt, which is required in criminal cases.
O'Neill asked the jury to go back into deliberations for another attempt to reach a verdict, an instruction known in Pennsylvania as the Spencer charge. It's a set of instructions that asks jurors to re-examine their own views and opinions, and there is no limit to how many times a judge can issue it.
Defense attorneys repeatedly asked O'Neill to declare a mistrial based on the jury's length of deliberations, but the judge denied their requests.
A mistrial means Cosby was not found either guilty or not guilty. Still, the conclusion represents a major win for his defense team, which argued the case never should have reached court.
The jury was made up of four white women, six white men, one black woman and one black man. They were bused to Norristown from Allegheny County near Pittsburgh and were sequestered in a hotel for the trial.
He said, she said
The three charges accused Cosby of assaulting Constand without her consent, assaulting her when she was unconscious and assaulting her using drugs to impair her ability to consent. If found guilty, he could have faced up to 10 years in prison for each charge.
Prosecutors called 12 witnesses, including Constand, over a week of testimony but presented almost no forensic evidence. Cosby declined to testify in his own defense, and his attorneys called only one witness. Cosby's attorneys argued the sexual contact was consensual and worked to highlight inconsistencies in Constand's testimony on cross-examination.
Legal experts said the trial fit the "he said, she said" arguments common in sexual offense cases.
Constand did not appear under stress while she waited in the courtroom for the jury's decision. The one-time basketball player posted a video to Twitter of herself shooting hoops on a mini-backboard to pass the time.
Though dozens of women have accused Cosby of sexual misconduct, only Constand's accusations led to criminal charges. One other accuser, Kelly Johnson, testified during the trial as prosecutors sought to establish that Cosby had a pattern of assault. Johnson testified she was drugged and assaulted by Cosby in 1996.
'They're your friends'
Constand testified over two days last week for the prosecution. In clear and firm statements, she said Cosby, a powerful Temple alumnus, mentored her and took an interest in her career like a father figure. The comedian, 37 years her elder, twice made what she called "suggestive" passes at her, but she rebuffed him, she said.
But when speaking about her career plans one night at his home, the sweater-wearing actor known as "America's Dad" gave her three blue pills that he said were herbal and would help her relax, she testified.
"Put them down, they're your friends. They'll take the edge off," Cosby told her, she testified. "I said, 'I trust you.' I took the pills and I swallowed the pills down."
She began slurring her words and felt dizzy, and told Cosby so, she said. Shortly after, she became incapacitated and felt "frozen," she testified. Cosby then placed her on the couch and sexually assaulted her without her consent, she said.
She woke up on the couch early in the morning with her clothes disheveled, she said.
"I felt really humiliated and I was really confused," she said through tears. "I just wanted to go home."
Cosby lowered and shook his head in the courtroom as she spoke.
Gianna Constand, the accuser's mother, testified that Cosby apologized over the phone to her and her daughter and offered to pay for her schooling. Cosby also declined to tell her what pills he had given Andrea, but he did say they were from a prescription bottle, she testified.
'I was mistaken'
Defense attorneys argued the sexual contact was part of a consenting relationship between the two. They cast Cosby as an unfaithful husband — not a criminal.
In a tense cross-examination, the defense pointed out that several of Constand's initial statements to police, including the date of the alleged assault, were later proved to be false.
"I was really nervous and wasn't able to recall every particular moment that I had seen Mr. Cosby in order of dates," she explained.
Constand initially told police she had not been alone with Cosby before the alleged assault and that they had little contact afterward. However, she testified she had been alone in a hotel room with Cosby beforehand and had 72 phone calls with him afterward.
She also asked Cosby's representatives for free tickets for her and her family to see Cosby's stand-up show in Toronto half a year after the alleged assault.
But she said the hotel room meeting was not romantic, and explained she made phone calls as part of her job responsibility at Temple. She got the show tickets because her family loved Cosby, and she hadn't said anything yet about what happened, she said.
Defense attorneys said those were not the actions of an assault victim and suggested she was lying.
"I was mistaken," she said. "It was a lot of confusion putting a lot of dates together."
Jurors heard Cosby's side of the story — but not in his voice. Prosecutors and police detectives read aloud portions of Cosby's statements to police in 2005 and in a civil deposition from 2006. In those interviews, Cosby admitted to sexual contact with Constand and said they had had a romantic encounter.
He also said the pills he gave her were over-the-counter Benadryl, which he admitted can cause sleepiness.
In the deposition, Cosby admitted he had previously obtained prescriptions for Quaaludes, a powerful sedative, with the intention of giving the drugs to women with whom he wanted to have sex.
Prosecutors said the use of Quaaludes showed that Cosby had knowledge of what he was doing when he gave Constand the pills.
Constand initially told police about the alleged assault in January 2005, a year after she says it took place. The district attorney at the time declined to press charges, citing insufficient evidence. She sued Cosby in a civil suit and settled for an undisclosed amount in 2006.
In late 2014, dozens of women went public with accusations that Cosby drugged and sexually assaulted them over the course of his lengthy comedic career.
In July 2015, a judge unsealed Cosby's deposition in that 2006 civil lawsuit. Cosby's admissions in that deposition led Montgomery County prosecutors to file charges against him.
The trial started June 5. Cosby, who is legally blind and carries a cane, arrived in court each day with someone from the world of entertainment. Keshia Knight Pulliam, who played Rudy Huxtable on "The Cosby Show," escorted Cosby into court on the first day of the trial.
His wife, Camille, walked into court with him Monday, her first appearance at the trial.

Senator: Labor Overstates Possible Penalties
by Keegan Kyle October 7, 2011 March 15, 2022
If San Diego voters approve a ballot initiative next June, organized labor argues the city would lose up to $250 million in state funds annually under a new state law.
But state Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg, who authored the new law, disagrees with that assessment. Through a spokeswoman, he said more than half of the funding included in the labor's estimate shouldn't be counted.
The dispute hinges on whether certain taxes are legally considered state or local funds, and the answer could have huge consequences for some of San Diego's biggest proposals like a downtown Chargers stadium or a Convention Center expansion.
The ballot initiative proposes banning city officials from ever requiring union-friendly construction agreements for public works projects. If city officials can't consider the agreements for a project, the new state law says no state funds or financial assistance will be provided for that project. The law doesn't further clarify which state funds or financial assistance would be shut off.
So far, the astonishing trend continues to be a lack of certainty about the law's impact. No one appears to have completed a financial analysis of the bill before legislators approved it or the governor signed it. State officials, lobbyists and nonpartisan legislative analysts are still trying to wrap their heads around it.
Meanwhile, the debate's picked up steam in San Diego. Organized labor says the restricted state funds include redevelopment and special tax districts known as Mello-Roos. Though the state established each funding mechanism, the actual money is generated and controlled locally. About $160 million of labor's $250 million cost estimate accounts for these two sources.
The loss of redevelopment would be a huge blow to San Diego. The Chargers and city officials have questioned whether financing a downtown stadium would be feasible without redevelopment. It's also a major source of funding for affordable housing, planning and many community projects.
Nothing in the new state law specifically excludes redevelopment or special tax districts, but Steinberg said he doesn't consider them state funds since the money is generated locally.
State finance officials told me they also agree with Steinberg's interpretation. With the exception of redevelopment and special tax districts, they said the other kinds of funding outlined by organized labor could be at risk under the new law. Here is organized labor's list of other annual funds:
• $30 million in state grants, which support various building projects, such as the new downtown library.
• $22 million in state gas taxes, which pay for transportation projects.
• $15.2 million in Prop. 42 funds, which also pay for transportation projects.
• $8.8 million from the state's Clean Water Revolving Fund Program, which pays for sewer and wastewater projects.
Organized labor made its estimates based on the city's current budget, but notes that state funds — especially grant funding — can change dramatically year to year. City public works officials said San Diego received about $37 million in state grants for building projects in each of the previous two years, for example, and expects to receive about $5 million this year.
As I've previously explained, the ballot initiative's proponents call concerns over state funding losses meritless. They say their initiative includes a loophole so the city wouldn't lose any state funding. The city of Oceanside, which already has a ban in the books, similarly argues that a loophole isn't needed to avoid state penalties.
But what do you think? We still have months to go before the June election, but how do you interpret the new law's possible impact on San Diego? Please share your thoughts by emailing me or posting a comment below.

Leave the windows open if you should leave your pet inside a parked car; a car left running only invites a thief to break a window, and then take the car and your pet. If possible it is best NOT to take your pet and lock them in a car on hot days, even for a few minutes. Pets do not sweat like we do, so if they are in a confined area their panting will not cool them down. The temperature can easily climb to 120 degrees inside if the windows are left up. If your seats are white the inside temperature can reach 135 degrees when the outside temperature is 79 degrees. Red seats can reach 154 degrees, blue or green seats can reach 165 degrees and black seats can reach 192 degrees with a dog locked inside the car while the windows are up. If the outside temperature is 83 degrees the temperature can reach 109 degrees in 15 minutes, or 101 degrees if the windows are half open. Heat exhaustion can easily occur after prolong temperatures of 100 degrees, and skin burns after touching a surface of 150 degrees. Provide water, roll down the windows to where they cannot escape and check on your pet ever 15 minutes or less if you cannot take your pet with you and you have no other choice than to place them inside a car temporarily during the summer; many times if the pet has to be left in a car during the summer it is much safer to leave them at home.
Anytime an animal is outside in the hot weather, and appears sick, has an increased respiratory rate, is salivating and/or is weak you should relocate the animal to a shady area and take their temperature rectally. A normal temperature is 100-102. If the temperature is over 105 degrees a call to the veterinarian is indicated, as an exam and treatment to prevent stroke and disseminated vascular coagulation (DIC) may be needed if the patient has hyperthermia. If the temperature is 103.5 to 105 degrees you can pour water on the animal, wipe off the water and repeat 2-3 times, then offer only small amounts of water orally at a time.
Lawn herbicides and insecticides can cause sickness in pets. Keep pets off lawns that have recently been sprayed within the last 3 days. If you have a Scottish Terrier we recommend you do not use the phenoxy herbicides. Wirehaired fox terriers, West Highland White terriers and Shetland sheepdogs can be predisposed to developing bladder cancer if overly exposed to this and other herbicides. The phenoxy herbicides contain "2,4-D", "2,4.5-T", MCPP (4-cholra-2-methylphenoxy propionic acid); the pre-emergence herbicide dicamba (3,6-dichoro-2-methoxybenzoic acid) is also a possible carcinogenic herbicide that should have 3+ days of non-contact for pets if the lawn is sprayed. Snail bait is a common poisoning; the best method of preventing is to place the bait where the dogs cannot get to it at all. We have some information about using beer and other safer products if are concerned. Snail bait poisoning appears as a pet seizuring.
When going outdoors consider the potential problems that may exist in your area and affect you or your pet. Rattlesnake and other poisonous snakes are such a consideration. If you go fishing, especially remember to remove the bait off your hooks and also remove the hook to place in the tackle box. Many dogs and cats will eat a hook and line with the flavoring and smell of fish or the bait.
Grooming is important in the health care of animals. Matted hair only contributes to possible problems. Have your pet groomed before the hot weather approaches. Foxtails, skin infections and fly strikes are only a few of the problems that can occur with pets that have matted hair.
With pets, horses and children we all need to be extra careful and look at the environment they live it to prevent problems; puppies are especially prone to "if there is a possibility of happening it will occur".
Are there any exposed nails, tears in the wire fencing and/or the ability for the pet to dig out and/or climb over the fence? There are invisible fences which can help the dogs who want to escape, but initially a good fence should be built and/or repaired. Also look at the lawn edging; the sharp metal edging should be removed. What can the puppy chew on that will require surgery?
Do you have any ant, rodent, snail, insecticide or any other poisonous baits in the back yard and/or shed? Remove them if present; trying to hide them under some cover will only postpone the eventual time when they are discovered.
Do you have poisonous plants in the yard? In our area there is a great concern if you have foxglove, Lily of the Valley or other lily/bulb plants in your yard, monkshood (Aconitum), squill; and you have a dog that likes to chew. Yes you can spray the plants every 10-14 days with a deterrent spray, but avoidance is always the best medicine. In other areas of the country, in your greenhouse or inside there are tropical plants that are extremely toxic; azaleas, castor beans, golden chain tree, oleander, rosary pea, sago palm and/or yew plants. Other plants that are moderately toxic and which should be fenced off from a puppy or a chewing pet are the plants of the caladium/heath/rhododendron, or the Mountain Laurel/lambskill/Kalmia family, as well as the belladonna/Jerusalem cherry/nightshade group of plants. Ground cover type of cactus plants and thorny plants should also be fenced off so the puppy does not run and play in this area. Grapes and some fruits and nuts can be toxic to animals; other garden plants of concern are garlic, onions, potato sprouts, green tomato plants (and green potatoes). We have a much more complete list than the above.
Are you feeding other animals and/or leaving out food that can be harmful to a dog? The ionophores in cattle and other ruminant feeds are toxic to pets.
We have many poisonous chemical, poisonous plant and deterrent handouts available; as a general rule look at the container and if it is poisonous then keep it up high and/or in a locked cabinet.
