Writing opportunity courtesy of Readings
I've just been informed that I've been awarded a Readings Fellowship from the Victorian Writers Centre, which will provide me with a rent-free studio at Glenfern Writers Studio until the end of 2010. Great opportunity to have a quiet space to write in for a good amount of time. Luxury!
And on that very topic: do you know anyone who's shy?
I am currently researching the topic of shyness for a series of articles and/or a book on the subject. This follows the publication in Meanjin literary magazine last year of an essay i wrote about grappling with shyness myself.
You can read the essay here if you are interested.
My aim is to further explore and illuminate this particular personality trait, both for shy folk AND for non-shy folk.
I am trying to gather as many ANONYMOUS anecdotes as possible from people who would describe themselves (now or in the past) as being shy, with a view to incorporating some of them into my writing.
I have designed a ten question survey which can be filled out ANONYMOUSLY online by simply clicking onto this link.
Please alert anyone you know who might be interested and willing to answer these questions in some detail. And of course, if you think you fit the bill, please complete the survey yourself!
And finally: my column about food intolerances will be published in the A2 section of The Age on Saturday 10th April.
Forthcoming Events 2010

2009 – The Good, The Bad and The Bloody Marvellous
As the young folk say – So Random! That's how i always feel about the end of the calendar year. Why do we insist on these numerical markers of change, when really we'll all wake up on Friday and the same sun will be shining and the same possum will have relieved itself inside my loungeroom wall cavity again?
And yet I'm always exhaustedly grateful for the end of the year and feel a whole lot fresher on January 1st. In spite of the possum piss. Go figure.
But no journalist worth their salt can let the year end without doing some kind of sum up of the highlights and lowlights.
So here goes:
– 'Poor Boy' – Melbourne Theatre Company musical involving a bunch of songs by Tim Finn (whose work i love and for whom I am always happy to go into bat in the eternal Neil vs Tim debate that rages around me) strung together by (usually brilliant) playwright Matt Cameron and featuring a big-hearted performance by Guy Pearce. But good songs and big-hearted performances are not enough. It all felt strained and at times really obvious. Unmemorable, I'm afraid. (So why am i reminding you of it, you may well ask?)
– The Victorian bushfires of February 7th. Hard to comprehend the level of horror for those involved – and we all know someone. My parents former home disappeared in the inferno. I still shudder to remember my relief when the wind changed direction at dusk. That's when things went from appalling to entirely hellish just about a hundred kilometres from my safe little inner suburb.
– Art Garfunkel's original songs, which he sang at the 'Simon and Garfunkel' reunion tour gig at the Rod Laver Arena. Listening to them felt a bit like eating way too much fairy floss and later on finding pink shards of it sticking to your clothes. Thank god for Paul Simon's songwriting genius.
– Swine flu. Well, any flu really. And i had about three of them. In a row. Winter wipe-out. Blech.
– St Kilda losing the Grand Final. I mean come ON guys! To take us so far, so gloriously, and then to throw it all away with some slip-sliding away on the day. Winter wipe-out. Blech again.
– Some idiots destroying The Knitted Bridge, a key part of the ever-inventive Big West Festival, the night before it was officially launched. Made me want to weep. I guess it's just ignorance. If you knew how much heart, soul, blood, sweat and tears had gone into knitting that bridge, you wouldn't dream of wrecking it. Would you?
– Another year of failure to grasp the nettle on a carbon-reduced economy. Twenty years ago i was campaigning for the Australian Conservation Foundation on the so-called 'greenhouse effect, and two decades on we STILL haven't acknowledged how bad climate change is gonna get. Read Margaret Atwood's novel 'Oryx and Craik' if you need some scary scenarios to get your campaigning juices flowing.
– The new fee structure for TAFE courses, announced this year and to be introduced by the Victorian Government in 2010. So now if you've had some education but want more, you'll have to pay thousands of dollars. Wanna become a writer or an editor? Considering doing a TAFE writing and editing course? Start saving now, and maybe i'll see you there in about a decade.
– 'The Flood' – a gothic drama by playwright Jacqui Smith at La Mama Theatre which was one of a raft of shows i've this year about children in danger. (See the post below for a weblink to my article about this cultural trend). Great performances by the three female actors and i loved the set design – incredible that a black box the size of a large bathroom could be transformed into a whole farmhouse in the middle of the wide green yonder, inundated by flooding rains
– 'Spontaneous Broadway' – a comic impro show by a bunch of folk whose imaginative leaps take my breath away (or is it just that i'm laughing so hard i can't get any air in?) Julia Zemiro is a goddess. The Goddess of Naughtiness. And John Thorn's piano improvisations in the style of whatever-the-hell-you-like just get better and better. (And better.)
– 'A Streetcar Named Desire' – Opera Australia's production of Andre Previn's version of Tenessee Williams' play. What a great choice, to stick so faithfully to the original text. And what a great example of how new(ish) operas can still feel so fresh and relevant and theatrically satisfying and musically listenable. (See my second-last post for a weblink to my review in The Age). OA's 'Cosi Fan Tutte' was definitely in the GOOD basket too – sexy, silly and beautifully sung.
– 'Dirtsong' – the latest musical production by The Black Armband. Almost all songs were performed in indigenous languages. Moving, inspiring, and yet another interesting new development from this ever-changing ensemble. Congratulations to the BAB on being awarded a big fat dollop of Australia Council funding for 2010.
– A bunch of great new Australian films – 'Blessed', 'Beautiful Kate', 'Samson and Delilah', 'Balibo', 'Mary and Max', to name just a few. What a relief, to come out of the cinema feeling like your money's been well-spent on a home-grown product. Go see'em, cobbers.
– A bunch of great Australian theatre productions, including the MTC's 'Knives in Hens' and 'My Year of Magical Thinking', Theatreworks' 'The Lower Depths', Malthouse Theatre's 'One Night the Moon' and 'A Commercial farce', and My Darling Patricia's 'The Night Garden'.
THE BLOODY MARVELLOUS
– Travelling the world – this year i went to Italy (Sicily and the Amalfi Coast), East Timor (third trip), New Zealand (to play at the Christchurch Festival), Byron Bay, NSW (twice), Cabarita, QLD (surf heaven), Alice Springs, NT (and the community of Santa Theresa), Sydney, NSW (no Bondi Beach Rescue required) and Altona Meadows, Vic (often). Hello Samantha!
– Devouring entire TV series on DVD – 'The Wire' (all seasons), followed by 'In Treatment', followed by 'Mad Men' (can't wait for season three). Why leave home? (and yet it seems i did, often)
– 'Africa' – the latest show created by theatre ensemble My Darling Patricia. To all Ye who scoff at puppetry – eat Thy words. There was more subtle characterisation in the little child-puppets in 'Africa' than i've seen on offer from many flesh-and-blood actors on the theatre stage. This tale of three children who are struggling to make sense of an often indifferent and violent adult world was entirely gripping. Funny, sad, nutty, abject and cathartic. Suburban Australia is more dangerous for many children than the wilds of Africa, and the Victorian Ombudsman has the stats to prove it. My Darling Patricia are one of the most original and inventive theatre ensembles in the country at the moment and I can't wait to see what they will do next.
– 'Progress and Melancholy' – the latest physical theatre show created by director/choreographer Bagryana Popov. She took Chekhov's play 'The Cherry Orchard', delicately dismembered it and sewed it back together again with its own movement language and a cast of performers who were allowed to simultaneously play themselves AND the characters in the play, constantly blurring the lines between the two. As a result, the ground continually shifted under our feet – just as it does for the members of the Russian aristocracy whose beloved cherry orchard is about to go under the hammer. Even the performance space (forty-five downstairs) became part of the fluid universe of 'Progress and Melancholy', with subtle comparisons drawn between the history-laden, rickety old Melbourne city building (presumably eternally vulnerable to re-development) and the hallowed cherry orchard. The ensemble cast of actors from a diverse range of ethnic backgrounds brought their own rich emotional and cultural provenance to the production. The third wall crumbled, the audience talked back, the violinist serenaded us and Chekhov would have been waltzing with joy to see his play so (dis)respectfully treated at the end of the twenty-'noughties.
Canvas article in The Age and 2010 stuff
See The Age newspaper on Monday 14th December for my Canvas piece on our communal anxiety about children manifesting in Australian theatre and film.
Enrolments are now open for the Non Fiction Writing classes I'll be taking for the [Victorian Writers Centre in the second half of the 2010.
I've been invited to be a guest panel host at the 2010 Byron Bay Writers Festival. See you there!

Apogee Acoustics • View topic - What is your favorite theme?
Re: What is your favorite theme?
Not the very best movie out there but I just fell in love with the theme music.
I found the song with the help of an iPhone app by letting the phone "listen" to the score.
The group is: Public Image Ltd.
Song: The order of death.
I just literally fell in love with the chords and the bended bass.
A bit of a desolate feel to the song and very appropriate to the movie, I think.
The one who succeeded was the one who did not know it was impossible!
Funny this came up - just been thinking about this stuff the last 3 months or so!

Acura to Show NSX and ILX Concepts, Plus Next RDX – 2012 Detroit Auto Show
By Nick Kurczewski
Photo by Brenda Priddy & Company
Acura will show three new vehicles during the 2012 Detroit Auto Show, including a highly anticipated concept version of the next generation sports car. Also set to debut is a new compact sports sedan, the Acura ILX Concept, along with a refreshed RDX crossover vehicle.
But it's the next-gen NSX concept that's certain to get enthusiasts running to Acura's show-stand in Detroit. Introduced in 1990, the original NSX was fine-tuned by F1 legend Ayrton Senna and featured a sophisticated V-6 engine with variable valve timing and lift control. Sharp handling, clever engineering and rock-solid reliability earned this mid-engine sports car a loyal following before sales stopped in 2005.
We've been teased with before. The 2007 Acura Advanced Sports Coupe and (Honda Sports Coupe) offered an all-too-rate glimpse into what the next NSX might look like. Rumors indicatethe new model will retain a mid-engine layout, though a hybrid powertrain and all-wheel-drive system could make their way into an NSX for the first time.
A hybrid engine will also play an important role in the Acura ILX Concept, a luxury compact sedan based on the current Honda Civic. Acura says a production version of the ILX will serve as the "gateway to the Acura lineup," thanks to a starting price estimated to fall significantly below $30,000. A range of gasoline-powered 4-cylinder engines and choice of 5-speed automatic and 6-speed manual transmission will round off the range.
The refreshed RDX is also based on a Honda product, this time the recently updated CR-V sport-utility. Acura has decided to put some distance between the `lesser' SUV by making a powerful V-6 engine standard in the 2013 RDX. A turbocharged 4-cylinder had served as the RDX powerplant until now. Sales begin in the spring.
All three vehicles will be introduced at the 2012 Detroit Auto Show during the media preview on January 9, 2012.

Microsoft's 2014 Roadmap: 'Plug-and-Play' Clouds, R2 Servers and Faster Product Delivery

SQL Server 2014 Announced in TechEd Keynote
TechEd 2013: New Azure Services Coming to Windows Server 2012
TechEd 2013: SQL Server 2014's Big Data and Memory Focus
TechEd 2013: Windows Server 2012 R2 and System Center 2012 R2 Unveiled
Microsoft's TechEd kicks off today, but some of its themes were presented earlier at the "Microsoft Cloud OS Workshop."
The three-day Cloud OS Workshop, held mid-May at Microsoft's Redmond campus, included executives and engineers, mostly from the Server and Tools Division, talking about their work over the last year or so before a crowd of invited technical reviewers and journalists. To hear Microsoft tell it, the company took a step back to address its customers' problems and to think holistically. It wasn't just a focus on the coming wave of individual server products (see sidebar). Much of the work centered on Windows Azure and the cloud as a customer solution.
The role of an operating system was one of the fundamentals that the team reconsidered. The traditional view of an OS is that it's just software that manages hardware resources, but Microsoft's OS vision now is more cloud oriented, with datacenters seen as resources to tap. Customers will use datacenters as "one big box," according to Takeshi Numoto, Microsoft corporate vice president of Server and Tools marketing.
"Now, instead of thinking of an OS on a per-machine basis, we think of an OS that pulls together compute, storage and network resources -- across multiple datacenters," Numoto said. "We want to pursue this vision across all of our products in Server and Tools Division."
New Products and Roadmap
That vision extends to Microsoft's traditional server products. New R2 products are scheduled to see the light of day sometime in the interval between the fourth quarter of 2013 and the first quarter of 2014. Those products include Windows Server 2012 R2 and System Center 2012 R2, along with SQL Server 2014, among others. It wasn't clear from the workshop whether these releases will be betas or full product releases by Q1 2014. However, Microsoft officials did say that Windows Server 2012 and System Center 2012 releases will now start to arrive at the same time, for the first time, starting with the new R2 versions.
Update: Microsoft indicated today that previews of Windows Server 2012 R2, System Center 2012 R2 and SQL Server 2014 will be available sometime this month. In addition, product releases of Windows Server 2012 R2 and System Center 2012 R2 are planned for the end of this year. The SQL Server 2014 product release will happen "shortly thereafter," according to Microsoft's announcement.
Numoto said that Microsoft's product delivery cycles are getting faster, and so Microsoft will try to put everything under the cloud OS. That faster cycle is evident by Microsoft's roadmap agenda for 2014, but the idea that this faster release cycle is a company-wide push was also recently underscored by Kevin Turner, Microsoft's chief operating officer.
"We basically are about to launch every single product, solution, and service in our portfolio in a 12-month window," Turner said last week at the Sanford C. Bernstein Conference in New York City.
Numoto explained that Microsoft's product development focus now won't be on single products so much, but rather the engineering teams will work to address customer scenarios across products. Microsoft will be responding to some underlying trends, such as always-connected apps, the explosion of data from end points, the bring-your-own-device to work phenomenon and cloud computing, among others.
New server and cloud products from Microsoft may start to appear somewhere between late 2013 or Q1 2014.
Premises Products: System Center 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2012 R2 Essentials, Power BI in Office 365, SQL Server 2012 PDW AU1, SQL Server 2014, Visual Studio vNext
Cloud Products: Azure Services for Windows Server, Azure Active Directory Access Management, Azure Active Authentication, Windows Intune, Azure HDInsight, SQL Database, Team Foundation Service vNext

The Three Clouds
Quite a lot of Microsoft's future product improvements going forward will address the pain points of cloud service providers. That was a big part of the messaging at the Cloud OS Workshop. Microsoft now counts three clouds: private clouds (Windows Server), public clouds (Windows Azure) and "service provider clouds." In addition, the "hybrid cloud" offers a way to tap both private and public cloud resources.
Microsoft has been ramping up its cloud infrastructure, which currently consists of four datacenters in the United States (West, East, North Central and South Central), two datacenters in Europe (North Europe and South Europe) and two datacenters in Asia (East Asia and Southeast Asia), plus 24 content delivery network centers. This network serves 76 markets worldwide. Last month, Microsoft announced Windows Azure expansion plans in the Asia Pacific region, including China, Japan and Australia. In addition, based on the workshop talks, Microsoft's service provider partners will play a bigger role, and Microsoft recently indicated as much, saying that 4,500 new hosting partners were added in a year's time.
Microsoft plans to pull the three clouds together by offering a unified management capability with System Center, by improving Active Directory for identity, and having virtualization support for compute, network and storage. Numoto said that Active Directory is currently used by 93 percent of the Fortune 1000 companies and that Windows Azure Active Directory has served up 265 billion authentications. SQL Server has 46 percent of the worldwide database share, he added. Windows Azure has more than 200,000 customers.
Microsoft's product rollout in the coming year really will include a faster one-year delivery cycle. While IT pros might not be ready for it, it's now an organizing principle within Microsoft.
"Last time we talked, it was a three-year release," said Jeffrey Snover, distinguished engineer and lead architect for Windows Server and System Center datacenter products, at the Cloud OS Workshop. "Now we have a one-year release."
Snover, who is the creator of PowerShell -- the scripting language enabling automation across Microsoft's various server products -- explained that Microsoft's developers took a year off from writing code. The organization talked with its customers and did a lot of planning. "Now we have an engineering system that supports customer requirements and that leads to user scenarios." The team builds its test cases based on "critical-to-quality" (CTQ) measurements. The approach has had "a huge impact on productivity," he added.
Microsoft's vision is the three clouds. "If your strategy changes, with Microsoft, you don't have to change your vendor," Snover contended. With Windows Azure, Microsoft plans to take high-end computing and make it available to the mass markets by simplifying the software experience. The current mass-market chasm, in which IT pros dislike complexity, will get crossed by enabling performance, trustworthy computing, and "cloud plug and play," he added.
Snover detailed three cloud plug-and-play scenarios for Microsoft. Devices get plugged into the cloud and they should just work. Next, apps should just work when plugged into the cloud. "I mean both Windows apps and Linux apps," he explained. "The point is to simplify the task of app development." Lastly, Microsoft aims to simplify plugging resources (such as servers, storage and networking) into a cloud fabric and they should just work, which will help simplify cloud management.
Windows Azure Demos
Quite a lot was said at the Cloud OS Workshop. There will be more details to come, but a lot of the time was spent with demos. In particular, David Aiken, technical product manager for Windows Azure, demonstrated how to set up a virtual machine in Windows Azure in about five or six minutes. "Windows Azure helps you create resources you need, but once it's done it's just Windows," Aiken said regarding the user experience.
Next, Aiken showed how to create a Web site. Users have the option to pick from gallery of templates from .NETNuke, Drupal, PHP and others. There's an option to create a MySQL database or SQL database. "Before the cloud, it didn't take 10 seconds to spin up a MySQL database," he commented. The site gets built in minutes vs. months, he explained. "You can use the cloud but don't have to know a lot of cloud skills," he claimed.
Users have an option to create a SQL database on the fly. "We could create a VM and put SQL on it," Aiken said. "Sometimes the app doesn't need all of the rich resources [of the Windows Azure SQL Database service]." The process of creating a SQL database is scriptable. "If I want a hundred databases, I can script this out," Aiken said.
Developers of apps for mobile devices can use Windows Azure to create a mobile service. "What we've done is think hard about device development," Aiken said. Users create a mobile service, give it a name, pick a database and pick a region. It creates a mobile service as well as a database server and database.
"We have all of these services and you have to think of them as building blocks -- cloud services, caching and tables," Aiken said. "We also have infrastructure services -- to extend your datacenter.

Q: Tinymce node content changed I'm trying to fire an event every time a node has been changed.
Basically I need to fire it when an empty line (node) is no longer empty.
In the documentation I found only change method, but that doesn't fire every time immediately.
Is there any other event I can listen to?

A: You can assing a mutation observer on the tinymce editor dom and listen for changes. Use the tinymce configuration parameter setup and add a init handler to observe the dom right from the start:
setup : function(ed) {

    ed.on('init', function(e){
        // MutationObserver
        var MutationObserver = window.MutationObserver || window.WebKitMutationObserver || window.MozMutationObserver;
        if (typeof MutationObserver != 'undefined')
        {
            // select the target node
            var targets = ed.getDoc().querySelector('body');

            // create an observer instance
            var observer = new MutationObserver(function(mutations) {
                mutations.forEach(function(mutation) {
                    // do your magic here!!!
                });
            });

            // configuration of the observer:
            var config = { attributes: true, childList: true, characterData: true }

            // pass in the target node, as well as the observer options
            observer.observe(targets, config);
        }
        // fallback for older browsers
        else
        {
            $(ed.getBody()).bind('DOMNodeChanged', function(e) {
               // do your magic here !
            });
        }
    });
}

You might need to configure the observer to your needs.
Here is a helpful page about mutation observers: https://addyosmani.com/blog/mutation-observers/.
Do not use mutation events because they are deprecated.
You may use mutation events as a fallback for browsers that do not support the observers (see code above).

Will Hamilton reports on Trends in New York and LA from the Adforum Summit and how they affect CMOs here.
Having been a key member of the Adforum World Summit for the last five years (the Worldwide summit of the leading 25 intermediary consultants from around the world) I thought I would 'turn the telescope', and give an independent view 'for clients' on what's trending 'over there' – some key learning's that may help clients managing the performance of their agencies here.
There is an 'egg breaking' shift in the way agencies are structuring themselves for the future and this stretches way beyond advertising. The agency resourcing model is changing very fast and it is evolving.
The 15th Adforum Worldwide Summit met with 36 of the top creative agencies, media agencies, tech start-ups, data, digital and direct agencies, global consultancies, content providers, production companies, and even the American National Advertisers Association (ANA).
The agency resourcing model is evolving at a very fast rate in what is becoming a more uncertain economy.
A blurring of lines between: – advertising, consultancy, content, data, direct, digital, CRM, media, technology, production and influence marketing.
A fragmented market – clients have infinite choice – the CMO remains the key decision maker.
A move from Agency Of Record to Key Partner Agency.
A Post Media Era – from reach to attract – to full attribution.
Agencies seeking 'challenger clients' – networks trying to be disruptive and develop challenger status.
Some agencies 'lowballing' to maintain status – some evidence that traditional networks are struggling to keep talent.
A significant media transparency issue, (US centric), where dealings are deemed to be rife in the industry.
Genuine start ups, incubators, SME's – are becoming the pioneers of the digital industrial revolution.
Standout agencies this year: included R/GA, Hearts and Science, iris worldwide, and VCCP.
New York is Booming – with Innovative new ways of thinking and working, office envy is evident, Los Angeles has become the transect between 'martech and adtech', much of this is ironically being led by Brits working overseas. The 'Great Rebundling' of agencies is well underway. This has led to a fundamental need for clients to challenge their leadership, gain a wider understanding of ad serving technologies, manage performance and the levers for growth. Brands need to fully embrace customer centricity through listening, engaging, and learning.
We are living in the midst of an expectations gap between what consumers want and what they can get – created by the disruptor brands, airbnb, uber, and netflix which have set standards which entrenched brands cannot live upto.
A blurring of lines – means different agencies should be used for different communication roles.
Agency of Record (AOR) agencies are becoming Key Partner Agencies (KPA).
In terms of content – 90% of business leaders at C-Suite level believe that executives should be responsible for content strategy.
Growth of In House – 65% of content production in the US is being built directly by clients or in house agencies.
Internet video in the US will account for 79% of global internet traffic by 2020.
Clients are still looking at 'low ball' efficiencies in areas such as production and holding group deals.
Time dependency – only 5% of a CMO's time is being spent with their advertising agency in this new way of working.
Evidence that some clients are beginning to get to grips with working with Google and Facebook – pro-actively driving value through 'connected selling'.
We noted that the most successful agencies are winning their new business without pitching. Business is often being placed, by an intermediary in an advisory capacity, without a formal pitch process.
The growth of the holding company pitch is the new norm, something given the proliferation of services is definitely here to stay, something we have led with Birds Eye /Iglo and SCA across Europe.
Hamilton Associates helps clients to get the best from their communication partners by advising on agency selection, negotiating remuneration and servicing structures, and optimising the relationship to achieve exceptional performance.


Expectations are high for this maker of gear for measuring energy usage, and demand for its products is greater than ever.
As you stare at your computer screen, with the dryer humming and dinner cooking, consider the crucial role of electrical power. The planet's thirst for it appears unquenchable. In the U.S., demand for electricity is growing three times faster than power resources are being added.
Enter Itron, which makes high-tech smart meters, software and communications gear for measuring energy usage in real time. One analyst calls Itron, a member of the Kiplinger Green 25, the "Microsoft of metering."
You may have already seen Itron's products at work. If you've ever noticed a meter reader in your neighborhood wielding a handheld device, chances are the Liberty Lake, Wash., company made it. Itron, which sells to more than 3,000 utilities in the U.S. alone, owns 60% of the domestic market for meters and related devices.
John Quealy, the analyst who likens Itron to Microsoft, says that because of increasing concerns about global warming, efforts toward capping emissions and the world's huge appetite for energy, the need for Itron's products is greater than ever. "You cannot fix what you cannot measure," says Quealy, who is with Canaccord Capital, an investment firm based in Vancouver, British Columbia. "New technology needs to supplant the electric power grid. That evolution starts with a smart 21st century electric meter."
Itron makes traditional and digital meters for electricity, water and gas. Its Automatic Meter Reading systems transmit data from meters to the utility supplying the service. Newer versions of the system allow utilities to charge customers based on actual usage rather than on estimated usage.
Itron's next-generation Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) technology gives utilities remote access to meters, allowing providers to control usage during peak hours. The new system will also provide customers with more-detailed data on usage. "It will allow people to see real-time pricing in their bills, such as time of use, time of year, time of day," says Quealy. "It gives us control, so that we can make informed decisions to use power efficiently and effectively."
The prospects are bright for smart-metering systems. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandates that all electric utilities consider implementing advanced metering systems to increase efficiency. In December, Itron won a $480 million contract from Southern California Edison for new meters and related equipment. In the past two months, Itron inked at least another nine deals with companies in the U.S., Asia and Australia.
Expanding overseas is a key part of Itron's growth strategy. Last year, it purchased a rival, Actaris Metering Systems, of Luxembourg, for $1.6 billion. With the addition of Actaris, which does business in more than 30 countries, Itron now has a 17% share of the global electric metering business.
The acquisition boosted Itron's fourth-quarter results. Sales more than doubled, to $402 million, from the same period a year ago. Fourth quarter earnings, at 81 cents a share, were well ahead of analysts' average estimates of 73 cents a share.
The fine results came as a relief to Itron shareholders, who had seen the stock (symbol ITRI) tumble 21%, to $80, on November 2 after the company reported third-quarter numbers that failed to meet analysts' expectations.
The shares, which traded at $81 when we recommended them in 25 Ways to Invest in a Cleaner World, closed April 1 at $92.83. Selling at 28 times estimated 2008 earnings of $3.36 per share, the stock may seem pricey. But earnings are expected to rise 21% this year, and analysts see a 32% leap in 2009, to $4.42 a share.
If the company makes those numbers, today's price-earnings ratio is defensible. Adds analyst Quealy: "With utility companies' balance sheets robust and capital expenditure plans intact in this soft economy, you would expect a better than average P/E ratio, given the amount of business coming down the pipeline."
Itron could stumble if its pilot AMI projects run into technical problems or don't produce the benefits that utilities expect. Analyst Paul Coster of JP Morgan Chase has warned, moreover, that growth could slow if the commissions that oversee utility companies refuse to approve higher rates to cover the costs of the new metering systems.
But given the universal need for more-efficient energy usage, it's more than likely that Itron can measure up to expectations.

working url
Without slash: on the URL it won't work, if I use xmlHttp.open(url) it's replaced by : so it doesn't receive anything.
Edit: I needed to replace \ to "slash" on this question due to bad output.

A: JavaScript string literals interpret escape sequences. If a backslash isn't followed by a valid escape sequence, it is removed. Escape your backslashes, and they'll be put in the URL:
  xmlHttp.open('GET', URL_PARADAS + '?query=wgs84_pos\\:lat:{' + lat_min + '%20TO%20' + lat_max + '}'
                                  + '%20AND%20'
                                  + 'wgs84_pos\\:long:{' + lon_max + '%20TO%20' + lon_min + '}',

USO Supporting Military's Hurricane Irma Relief Efforts
Programs: | Mobile USO

With the military rapidly mobilizing to assist with Hurricane Irma relief efforts, the USO is ready to support service members before, during and after they deploy throughout the Caribbean, Florida and along the Atlantic Coast.
Mobile USO Team Steps Up After Irma
After Irma made landfall in Florida, the Mobile USO Program team prepared and deployed two units — the USO RV and our second "Big Blue" USO Mobile Center — to the National Guard Armory in Miramar, Fla. to deliver hygiene kits, snack packs, refreshment, relaxation and connectivity to service members assisting in the relief effort.
Additionally, the USO of North Carolina relocated their mobile unit to Florida to supplement the Mobile USO team's vehicles and hand out sunscreen, bug spray and lip balm in Miramar, Homestead Air Reserve Base and areas near the Florida Keys. The USO of North Carolina also deployed its pick-up truck to Florida to augment USO service delivery, particularly in the Florida Keys.
As of Thursday, all Mobile USO Program and USO of North Carolina units except the pick-up truck have completed their mission and are en-route to their points of origin or other locations.

USO Centers Provide Continued Support
Several USO locations throughout Florida are also providing support to thousands of service members moving through their respective areas.
According to Executive Director Mike O'Brien, the Greater Jacksonville Area USO delivered 1,000 hygiene kits, as well as water, snacks, suntan lotion and bug spray, to service members moving through Camp Blanding Joint Training Center, Fla. The USO location also helped facilitate a shipment of of personal care and snack items, donated by USAA, to Camp Blanding for service members to enjoy.

Last weekend at Eglin Air Force Base, the USO of Northwest Florida hosted a picnic for roughly thirty military families who evacuated to the area from Naval Air Station Key West.
USO Regional Vice President Jeff Hill notes that other USO locations throughout South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia are also supporting service members deployed to the disaster zone.
In South Carolina, 1,000 care packages, along with snacks and water were picked up by National Guard personnel who are either positioned to on the coast or headed south to provide relief. The team has also sent additional items to Camp Blanding, Fla., to provide continual support to National Guard units currently deployed to the area.
Additionally, the USO of North Carolina has prepared 5,000 travel kits and is currently waiting orders to send the supplies to military staging locations as needed.
Hill also said that the USO will continue its ongoing support of military members currently serving in support of Harvey relief efforts as long as its services are needed.
You can send a message of support and thanks directly to service members via the USO's Campaign to Connect. Your messages will appear on screens at USO locations around the world.

Bear Traps are tools used by the Neighbor in all versions of the game.
Bear traps are placed in areas that the Player visits frequently, with the intent of making it easier for the Neighbor to catch them. In the Pre-Alpha, the Neighbor also threw bear traps while chasing the player. If the player walks into the trap (or interacts with it, prior to Alpha 2), they will be caught and will need to repeatedly press the space bar to escape. If the Neighbor is trapped, he will grab his leg and attempt to pull it out of the jaws of the trap, succeeding after a few attempts. When a trap is triggered, the sound of its jaws snapping shut will attract the attention of the Neighbor, similar to the cameras.
If the player breaks a window, the Neighbor may place a bear trap next to the window in order to trap the player the instant they jump through it. The player can also pick up bear traps and use them against the Neighbor, but they can only be picked up if the trap is closed. In the Pre-Alpha, there were sometimes three different-sized bear traps hanging on the wall of the garage that served no purpose, but could still trap the player if they walked into them.
In Alpha 1 if the Neighbor was trapped with a bear trap and immediately shone at with a flashlight, he would slide forward, but still be trapped.
The bear trap can be used to glitch objects out of position by placing it just close enough to an unmovable mesh, then triggering the trap to move the object (e.g. doors, the player).
Effectively, this makes the bear trap a useful tool for speedrunning.

Feedback already received for "Under A Hunter's Moon (Shadows Over Seattle: Prequel One)":
"I enjoy the author's twist on the old werewolf lore, creating a whole new version and calling them Lupines, to allow him to break the rules of the legends without really breaking things, if you know what I mean. "
-Amazon Reviewer (1st Edition)
"I'm usually a gal who needs romance in her books, but I have to say that I got my hands on a copy of Under a Hunter's Moon by Timothy Bateson and found a great read! This is a short story, so it's a quick read, but it's got suspense, action, and it left me wanting to know when the next one is coming out! If you enjoy shifter stories, this one is a great Urban Fantasy short story that introduces you to some characters that you'll definitely need to know more about!"

Featured Jockeys, Jockeys
Nick Scholfield
Nick Scholfield was brought up on the Pony scene and has being tasting success from a very young age, winning at the illustrious HOYS (Horse Of The Year Show) at just 14 years of age. In 2006, aged 16, he was champion novice rider, breaking all records to achieve a total of 25 winners, and in 2008 he emulated his Father and was crowned champion male amateur.
As a teenager he joined one of the most famous yards in the country – Ditcheat, for Paul Nicholls and was Champion Amateur Rider before turning professional in 2008. He has won some top prizes for the Nicholls yard aboard both Cornish Sett and New Little Bric and came to the fore when partnering Taranis in the Argento Chase at Cheltenham in January 2010 and though he rides out for Nicholls weekly, he also regularly rides for other trainers including Jeremy Scott, Kim Bailey and Andy Turnell who he worked for as stable jockey in 2009.
In the last five seasons Scholfield has earned close over £1 million for connections and has a 13% win rate in chases, winning 96 from the 765 he's run in. Throw in a couple of hundred places and you can see why he's on board one the favourite this year.
Having taken part in four previous Grand Nationals – 2008 on Cornish Sett finishing 12th, 2009 on Cornish Sett finishing 17th, in 2010 on My Will but fell at the 4th and in 2011 on Ornais but again fell at the 4th – the 2013 National was the fifth time that jockey Nick Scholfield ran out at Aintree on board the much fancied and Rebecca Curtis trained Teaforthree.
After an incredible run, Scholfield navigated his way around the Aintree course and got Teaforthree home in third place. He paired up with him again for the 2014 Cheltenham Gold Cup where he finished in 8th spot and plans are now well underway for Teaforthree to go two places better and win the 2014 Grand National with Scholfield confirmed as his jockey once again.

WASHINGTON — Protesters marched on Sunday to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner's home Sunday in Bethesda, Md., but got no response when they knocked on his door.
The protesters from National People's Action and the National Domestic Workers Alliance tried to deliver a letter to Geithner demanding a financial transactions tax, principal reductions for underwater homeowners and an investigation of the bankers who caused the mortgage crisis.
Geithner's house wasn't the only stop for the protesters. National People's Action said it also went to the home of Peter Scher, executive vice president and head of corporate responsibility for JPMorgan Chase, demanding that CEO Jamie Dimon step down from the New York Federal Reserve board in the wake of massive trading losses and calling on the bank to offer principal reductions for underwater homeowners.
An 0.03 percent tax on financial transactions would raise $350 billion over the next nine years, according to the Joint Committee on Taxation. Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) and Rep. Peter DeFazio (D-Ore.) have proposed legislation on the tax, but it stands a slim chance of passage.
President Barack Obama has proposed imposing a financial crisis responsibility fee on firms with assets exceeding $50 billion that would raise $61 billion over 10 years.

Mackley has recently begun work on an important coastal defense project in Kent, which when complete will provide improved protection from the sea for many years to come.
The Herne Bay Coast Protection Works is being carried out by Mackley on behalf of Canterbury City Council – following a successful bid for Environment Agency funding.
When the £2.8m scheme was first announced in March 2018, Cllr Neil Baker, Chairman of Canterbury City Council's Community Committee, described it as "great news for Herne Bay".
The project will see the construction of a total of 24 new timber beach groynes; 13 at the King's Hall and 11 at Lane End. Having been built in 1963 and 1972 respectively, the current groynes are at the end of their design life and as such are longer providing sufficient protection to the seawall.
Further works include rock armor protection between the King's Hall pumping station and Herne Bay Sailing Club, repairs to the seawall and promenade, handrail refurbishment and 13,100m³ of beach recycling.
The timber for the groynes, FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) approved Greenheart sourced from Guyana, will be shipped to Scotland where it will be prepared and delivered by road to Whitstable.
Work got underway in September and will be carried out during the winter months when the area is less well used. The project is expected to be complete by spring 2019.

Alex Bregman has homered in three straight games for Houston, part of his surge since making the All-Star team. The third baseman has reached base safely in 31 consecutive games, the longest active streak in the majors, and looks to extend the string at home vs. Minnesota. Bregman tops the AL West leaders with his career-high 28 home runs and has 72 extra-base hits, the most by an Astros player since Lance Berkman's 79 in 2008.
The Angels are hopeful Shohei Ohtani will make his next start as scheduled Sunday at Chicago against the White Sox. The two-way rookie was evaluated a day after making an early exit in his return to the mound. He was pulled after 2 1/3 innings at Houston when his velocity drastically dropped — Ohtani hadn't pitched in the majors since June 6 because of a strained right elbow.
Ohtani, who continued to be a designated hitter while his elbow recovered, wasn't in the starting lineup Monday night at Texas. That's been the pattern on days after he pitches.
Francisco Lindor thinks the Indians need a spark. The star shortstop said after a 5-1 loss to Kansas City on Monday that Cleveland's "energy is down." The Indians have lost three straight but still lead the AL Central by 14 games. Their magic number to clinch the division was trimmed to 12 after Minnesota's loss to Houston.
Cardinals closer Bud Norris is likely to get a day off after two straight poor outings. Norris gave up a tying home run to Bryce Harper in the ninth inning at Washington on Monday, and the Nationals won in the 10th. On Sunday, Norris was tagged for two homers and three runs in the 10th inning by the Reds in a loss at Busch Stadium. Norris is 28 for 33 on save chances.
Third baseman Rafael Devers and infielder Brandon Phillips are set to join the Red Sox in Atlanta for their game between division leaders. Devers has been on the disabled list with a strained left hamstring. The 37-year-old Phillips, who went to high school in the Atlanta area, will make his Boston debut. Phillips signed with the Red Sox in late June.
Yankees lefty J.A. Happ (15-6, 4.00 ERA) pitches at Oakland in what could be next month's matchup for the AL wild-card game. Happ is 5-0 with a 3.38 ERA in six starts since being traded from Toronto to New York in late July.


FRANK V. BURTON. - Among the many private residences which grace the banks of the Hudson River at Balmville, none is more imposing in appearance than "Woodbine," the beautiful summer home of Mr. Frank V. Burton, located on Big Hill on the river road. In 1850 Mr. Josiah H. Burton, who is now in his eighty second year and father of the present owner, purchased a tract of land of about one hundred acres and resided in a handsome home nearer the river than the present mansion is situated. The property was afterward purchased by his son, Frank V., who in 1895 constructed his present ideal residence. The building is a three story structure, 125 by 40 feet in dimensions and of Normandy style of architecture, with a covered piazza extending the whole length of the east side. The residence is surrounded by spacious lawns, filled with the choicest flowers and ornamental shrubs, while the river view from the house is one of the most magnificent to be found in the country, extending a distance of ten miles.

This new exhibition sees Scott Gardiner's focus shift from the ocean's depths to the boundaries between land and sea, like ragged lines on a map, distinguishing one world from another. This transition manifests in a series of abstract collage paintings and representational ocean-scapes seemingly rescued from beneath an archaeology of layers. The illusion of depth is contrasted by an exaggerated flatness; a comfort, safety and familiarity with the ocean, set against a backdrop of isolation and alienation.


The City of Port Coqutilam performs uni-directional watermain cleaning throughout the year in a neighbourhood-by-neighbourhood rotation.
This procedure causes pressure fluctuations, some discolouration and sediment in the water reaching your home or business. These conditions should be of short duration and will not pose a health hazard. If your water appears discoloured, run a cold water tap until the water clears. City staff will try to minimize any inconvenience.
Watch for orange signs, as well as newspaper notices, announcing watermain flushing in your area.

I am running a little behind on my Meetup blog posts. At our first meetup in September we had Stefan, Eric, Deborah, Christine, Raeann, Ross and Bridget attending. We weren't clear about our topic (sometimes we like to do this on the fly) and while we were slow starting the conversation we shared our experience on overall health, stress and finally ended up talking about allergy testing. As it turns out we have 3 specialists in our space - Ross as representative for allergy testing kits, Bridget with her nutritional background and Raeann knowing lots of information by researching on topic. We jumped from mood, thyroid, depression, food sensitivity, IBS, naturopath visits to gluten free beers (foxtail, dogfish, St. Peters & Honey Wine).
Besides our excursion we also covered Princess Di, Football, Syria, Grey Cast, Whiskey, selective, positive news, gratitude journaling and Deborah's redesigned website.
