    QNAP Systems, Inc. today announced the release of TV Station, extending Turbo NAS users' multimedia experience to online TV watching, recording, and playback.

    Only requiring simple steps to install a DVB-T USB TV tuner on the Turbo NAS, the TV Station provides an economical option to record digital TV programs and share live or recorded contents with multiple members simultaneously. Live and recorded TV programs are made accessible via web browsers. "As the amount of time spent on watching television programs over the Internet on a computer and the recorded digital content has increased over years, the TV Station rides on the trend to fulfil user's needs," said Oliver Lien, product manager of QNAP.

    Up to 2 USB TV tuners are supported so that users can enjoy the TV program while recording another program at the same time. "Recording is extremely flexible," added Lien. "Users can schedule the recording of specific TV programs with the over-the-air EPG (Electronic Program Guide). It only takes few clicks to get it done."

    QNAP's Turbo NAS products have successfully integrated diverse entertainment features offering convenient and fun ways in storing and sharing photos, music, and videos at home. "The introduction of TV Station will absolutely further enrich the overall experience of using the Turbo NAS," commented Lien.

    The TV Station is available for the following Turbo NAS installed with NAS firmware version 3.8.0 onward:

    TS-1679U-RP, TS-EC1679U-RP, TS-1279U-RP, TS-EC1279U-RP, TS-1079 Pro, TS-879U-RP, TS-EC879U-RP, TS-879 Pro, TS-869L, TS-869U-RP, TS-869 Pro, TS-859U-RP+, TS-859U-RP, TS-859 Pro+, TS-669L, TS-669 Pro, TS-569L,TS-569 Pro, TS-559 Pro +, TS-559 Pro II, TS-469U-SP, TS-469L, TS-469U-RP, TS-469 Pro , TS-269L, TS-269 Pro, TS-459U-RP+/SP+, TS-459U-RP/SP, TS-459 Pro+, TS-459 Pro II, TS-259 Pro+, TS-439 Pro II+, TS-439 Pro II, TS-239 Pro II, TS-809 Pro, TS-509 Pro, TS-809U-RP, TS-419U+, TS-419U II, TS-419U, TS-419P II, TS-419P+, TS-419P, TS-412U, TS-412, TS-410U, TS-410, TS-259 Pro+, TS-239Pro II+, TS-219P II, TS-219P+, TS-219P, TS-219, TS-212, TS-210, TS-119P II, TS-119P+, TS-119P, TS-119, TS-112, TS-110, SS-839 Pro, SS-439 Pro

Netflix PS3 streaming arrives tomorrow

By Justin · 19 replies
Nov 5, 2009
  1. Last month, Netflix announced that they'd be adding a new piece of hardware to the growing list of gadgets that support Netflix streaming. That device was none other than the PlayStation 3, a suitable choice for growth given that Netflix is already supported on the Xbox 360. The only really surprising aspect of the whole affair was the timeline Netflix put forth, and as of tomorrow many PS3 owners who are also Netflix subscribers will be receiving the installation disc to make this all possible.

    If there could me anything missing from the PS3, I think is NETFLIX support looking forward to tomorrow.

    Now if only they could offer service outside of the US that would be awesome.

    NetFlix is the poster child of how to run a business right. I know they're pushing the online streaming option big-time. They'd really rather not have to deal with the considerable costs involved in mailing DVD's to clients.

    The more clients that use their streaming option, that's just one less DVD that they need to buy the media for, pay for manpower to stuff them in envelopes, pay for postage, account for damaged or lost DVD's, etc.

    Now if only you could stream to your PSP... Or iPhone... Imagine the sales boom you'd get for those kinds of mobile options!

    Get right on that, Sony and Netflix... I'll expect a progress report next week :)

    I may just have to buy myself a PS3 with everything that keeps getting added to it.

    I does seem to be the only one of the three major players adding additional features. MS keep updating the x-box to fix what they didn't get right in the first place and the Wii...well...more gimicks?

    As for the article, what a great cool idea. I know my PC and computer live in different rooms, but consoles need a tv display, a great move by both netflix and sony.

    Im glad to see the Ps3 (i own 2) getting more features added to it, it is really the rising star Sony said it would be. I feel the PS3 is already a way better bang for your buck than the 360 or Wii, tho if you have a kid id always recommend the Wii. Netflix is a welcome addition to the ps3!

    Awesome, but it's a little weird that you need to the disc to be able to use Netflix. It'll be a lot slicker when they release a version that can be run from the hard drive or firmware.

    To put is simply I have owned both consoles and the debate on which looks better is insignificant compared to the GPU on an enthusiast PC.

    For anyone looking into buying a console tho,This is the deal breaker for alot of people now. Especially since the price drop of the PS3,

    Microsoft really needs to get there heads out of the sand and start offering more with there console.
    With Sony you get a gaming console, integrated wifi, bluetooth for the use of any brand bluetooth kb/mouse or headset, hard drive, blueray, web browser, more compatibility for streaming movies, ability to put linux on the damn thing even.
    all for 300bux

    M$ on the other hand charges 300 for a console with a hard drive, then charges 100 more for wifi, makes you buy proprietary devices for cordless headset, forget about kb/mouse as they won't support a web browser or installation of an o/s, Streaming is lackluster at best, and the fact that you have to pay 50 bux a year for Xbox live is the biggest crock of all, when they have it set up in such a way as noting more than a marketing devise to squeeze even more money out of you.

    If I were going for a new console today it would be a PS3 hands down and the funny thing is I would probably never play a game on it, ( with a PC like mine you wouldn't either) I would just use it for blue ray and streaming movies, and occasional web browser.

    Microsoft's strategy needs to change.

    Now the true question is, will the wii ever get netflix or video playback in the US?
  13. slh28

    slh28 TechSpot Paladin Posts: 1,706   +172

    I've hardly ever heard of Netflix or how it works... maybe they should try to expand outside of the US, there's bound to be a huge customer base.

    Is this any different that using Netflix streaming service on a PC with a high end video card connected to a TV with an HDMI cable?

    You'd think that Sony could handle the Netflix distribution with a firmware update instead of this install disc. With some of the issues manufacturers have had sending out discs and thumbdrives with imbedded viruses I certainly hope that these Netflix discs go off without a hitch.
  16. Netflix using an install disc for now is a smart idea. If I remember, Microsoft made Netflix sign an exclusivity contract to stream to a console. PS3 has the BD Live function so its a usable loophole to utilize to bring Netflix to the PS3 without technically violating the contract (which I think expires soon anyway) with Microsoft.
  17. got my disc today, it is working great. looks the output is limited to 720p though. not a big deal though. even though the Xbox 360 outputs at 1080p, I'm pretty sure they are both getting the same quality stream, and the Xbox 360 upconverts it.
  18. installing Linux is not a supported option on the PS3 slim.

    That's cool I suppose, but not a factor to make me buy one. I'm a PC gamer through and through.

    I believe that companies lie Netflix are the future on motion picture entertainment. It is only a matter of time before we will see a movie released only for Netflix.
    They will take over TV's too.

Intel said today it will introduce a version of its vPro platform designed to improve protection of corporate machines from hackers, viruses and other threats. The updated vPro packages the Intel Core 2 Duo processor and Q35 Express chipset, which the company says will give 30 percent greater performance than the previous generation while significantly reducing power consumption. It also introduces Intel's hardware-based Trusted Execution Technology (TXT).

Intel TXT protects data within virtualized computing environments by creating multiple separated execution environments, or partitions, which are protected from unauthorized access from software in other partitions. In addition, vPro will ship with the third generation of Intel Active Management Technology (AMT) to help diagnose and repair PCs even when the system is turned off or has suffered an OS or hard drive crash.

Other enhancements include better System Defense Filters, which can monitor more potential threats to a business' network traffic and support for new standards from Desktop Mobile Working Group (DMWG), which is a specification for compatibility across PC hardware and software. Dell, HP and Lenovo, among others, are offering Intel's updated vPro platform in their lineups of business PCs.

Years ago, the decision to purchase an electric vehicle was far more nerve-wracking than it is today. That’s largely due to the fact that Tesla’s future was etched in sand. To help quell the uncertainty and convince prospective buyers to make leap, Tesla a few years back introduced a resale value program in which it would buy back a vehicle after three years and guarantee you’d get at least 50 percent of the base purchase price back plus 43 percent of the value of all options (so long as you purchased it through one of Tesla’s loan financing programs).

Now, the company is discontinuing that guarantee. Depending on how you look at it, that can either be seen as a good or bad thing. Allow me to explain.

Tesla introduced the program in 2013 to help control the secondary market and reassure buyers that their investment wouldn’t drop like a rock after purchase. At the time, Tesla didn’t have very many vehicles on the road so the amount of money it needed to set aside for potential buybacks wasn’t very large.

That’s no longer the case today as it has far more vehicles in the wild meaning it has to reserve a much larger chunk of change. A spokesperson for Tesla said it discontinued the program in order to help keep interest rates as low as possible and to be able to offer a compelling lease and loan program to customers.

It’s hard not to see this as good news as it demonstrates that the market for electric vehicles has matured to the point that it no longer needs a subsidy to survive.

Those that purchased a vehicle before July 1 of this year are still eligible for the resale value guarantee program.

A Pigeon's Eye for Cancer

This seems pretty out of left field. In an era where most of the news is surrounding how machine learning is allowing us to have computers search our images for us, these scientists are looking for alternate ways to offload their image hunting needs. With the sheer increase in numbers for images, I guess every source is helpful.

Aside from how they’re being used here, this seems like a remarkable ability for such a small brain. Again, I think it highlights just how efficient brains are as computers and how much we tend to overlook the skills and abilities of the neighboring branches on the tree of life.

It's one explanation for the big gap between the final polls and the result:

The term Bradley effect or Wilder effect refers to a phenomenon which has led to inaccurate voter opinion polls in some American political campaigns between a white candidate and a non-white candidate. Specifically, there have been instances in which statistically significant numbers of white voters tell pollsters in advance of an election that they are either genuinely undecided, or likely to vote for the non-white candidate, but those voters exhibit a different behavior when actually casting their ballots. White voters who said that they were undecided break in statistically large numbers toward the white candidate, and many of the white voters who said that they were likely to vote for the black candidate ultimately cast their ballot for the white candidate. This reluctance to give accurate polling answers has sometimes extended to post-election exit polls as well.

Researchers who have studied the issue theorize that some white voters give inaccurate responses to polling questions because of a fear that they might appear to others to be racially prejudiced. Some research has suggested that the race of the pollster conducting the interview may factor into that concern. At least one prominent researcher has suggested that with regard to pre-election polls, the discrepancy can be traced in part by the polls' failure to account for general conservative political leanings among late-deciding voters.

Tonight is the first primary - not a caucus. People get to vote in a secret ballot - not in front of their largely liberal peers, as in Iowa. They may have told the pollsters one thing about voting for a black man, but in the privacy of the voting booth, something else happens. I don't have any hard evidence for this, but the discrepancy in the polls is remarkable. David Kuo cites it. The vast discrepancy between the last polls and the result puts it on the table. I hope it's not true. But it could be.

Yorkshire Limestone

Long, pleasant sunny escarpment.

Crag information
Climbing Area: Yorkshire Rock Type: Limestone
Importance: Local CRoW Land: Yes
Ownership: Estate No. of Routes: 139
Within National Park: Yes Year Developed: 1950
Grid Reference: SD945715

CRoW Information

The land above the crag is Open Access land. See map here; http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/ourwork/enjoying/places/openaccess/default.aspx

Group Advice

Large parties are discouraged.

Area information

The magnificent landscape of the Yorkshire Dales was shaped by melting glacial ice 300 million years ago to produce the towering crags, shadowy peaks, rock-pavements, and picturesque valleys found today. The area was designated as a National Park in 1954, and covers approximately 1,769 km/683 square miles with many nationally significant climbing venues and a rich diversity of wildlife. Most of the crags in this region lie within Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI’s), a designation with a high level of legal protection for wildlife and geology. Responsibility for identifying and protecting SSSIs in the Dales lies with Natural England – the statutory governmental advisor on conservation issues and contributor towards the Yorkshire Dales Green Climbing Guide. The guide is intended to help climbers or walkers identify the protected flora, fauna, and geology found in the Dales and contribute towards their conservation.

Final Fantasy: The 4 Heroes of Light is a Final Fantasy spin-off developed by Matrix Software and published by Square Enix for the Nintendo DS. The game received a fairly good reception with many liking the 'old school' SNES style to it - much like playing the classic Final Fantasy games. The development team drew a lot of inspiration from Final Fantasy IV for each of the individual characters, as well as the classic job system from Final Fantasy III and Final Fantasy V. A sequel was considered and eventually evolved into the 2012 hit game Bravely Default.

In the small kingdom of Horne, Brandt awakes on the morning of his fourteenth birthday. Today is the day he becomes an adult, and the custom of the realm says that he must go to the castle to present himself to the king...

S'mores and more

Simple treat turns sophisticate Add to ...

Whether floating in mugs of hot chocolate or browning nicely over an open fire, marshmallows have long been an easy treat.

But of late, the simple treat has turned sophisticate.

Across Canada, upscale bakeries and gourmet chocolate shops are doing sticky, sweet business in handmade "haute" versions - artisanal, vegan, whimsically flavoured - of the humble snack.

What began as part of the comfort-food comeback has turned into a bona fide trend of its own, with s'mores and dinner-party-worthy confections for adult palates - that belong to those who are still kids at heart.

Canadian nostalgia

Butter Baked Goods A retro-inspired bakery on Dunbar Street in Vancouver, run by Rosie Daykin and her mother, Pixie Porcellato, make homemade marshmallows (oversize and regular) in flavours such as pumpkin, mint, coffee and toasted coconut, (which is their best seller). They also make homemade s'mores in mint and original flavours. "They're recipes your Grandma or your Mom might have made. No chemicals - only sugar, corn syrup, water and gelatin. People like to get the coffee marshmallow and dip it in hot chocolate - it creates the mouth feel of a café mocha - but without the fat, calories or guilt!" says Ms. Porcellato. Taste-test review: Toasted coconut flavour tastes like an old-fashioned candy you might have bought at the corner store as a kid. 4321 Dunbar St., Vancouver. (604) 221-4333. $1.75/large and $6 by the bag. S'mores - $4.25 each.

Oh so chic

Nadège A new addition to the West Queen West neighbourhood in Toronto, this elegant, all-white patisserie offers marshmallows in exotic flavours including: violet, gin and tonic, poppy, coffee and banana. The light-as-air, brightly coloured confections have a subtle flavour and a "melt in your mouth" texture. "Marshmallows have gained popularity in Europe in the past while, and we wanted to introduce the idea of a high-quality marshmallow to the Toronto market," says owner and pastry chef, Nadège Nourian. "People say the marshmallows are not overly sweet, and that is the idea, just a hint of flavour." Taste-test review: Soft, almost foamy texture - tastes like a solid mousse dessert. 780 Queen St. W. - (416) 368-2009. $5 per tub.

Vegan magic

Panacea At Toronto's first all-vegan store - opened in November by Ken Bontius, a former senior engineer - marshmallows are gelatin-free. "It's a treat that vegans don't have to skip any more," says Mr. Bontius. "I get about five calls a day asking if I have them in stock." The store offers vegan marshmallows by Sweet & Sara in pecan cinnamon (made with organic cinnamon), strawberry, vanilla (made with Madagascar vanilla) and toasted coconut, as well as s'mores in peanut butter and original. Taste-test review: Creamy texture, like a soft taffy. Pecan cinnamon flavour tastes like a homemade cinnamon bun. $8.49 per box. S'mores - $5.49. 588 Bloor St. W. (647) 350-3269.

Sweetness on a stick

Suite 88 Chocolatier A chocolate lounge and boutique located on rue Saint-Denis in Montreal, Suite 88 brings nostalgia to their customers in the form of a marshmallow on a stick, dipped in milk or dark chocolate and crushed graham crackers. "Customers often say, 'These bring me back to childhood memories, it makes me feel like a kid again,' especially with the graham-cracker dip - it's reminiscent of s'mores," says Isabel Baller. Taste-test review: More conventional marshmallow texture and flavour. Like something you might have at a country fair, except covered in gourmet chocolate. 3957 rue Saint-Denis, Montreal (514) 844-3488. $3.39 per stick.

Please Sir - give me some s'mores

Choklat Owner Brad Churchill's chocolate haven in Cowtown offers "Choklat Snobbery" workshops featuring the pairing of chocolate with wine. Mr. Churchill has made-from-scratch s'mores on tap held together with home-baked graham wafers. "Basically, the feedback we've received ranges from 'Oh-my-God' to 'Don't talk to me'," he says. Taste-test review: Taste-test review: An upscale version of the chocolaty, salty-sweet taste you might remember from childhood campfires. Handmade s'mores - $4.25 each. 1327A 9th Ave. S.E., Calgary (403) 457-1419.

Clyde Hertzman, PhD, Director, Human Early Learning Partnership. (University of British Columbia)
Clyde Hertzman, PhD, Director, Human Early Learning Partnership. (University of British Columbia)

UBC mourns death of Clyde Hertzman, a world leader in early childhood development Add to ...

Days before Clyde Hertzman was to receive the 2010 award for Canada’s Health Researcher of the Year, friend and colleague Ziba Vaghri pulled aside the world-renowned early-childhood development researcher.

“I said, ‘Clyde, you’re going to go for your ceremony. For God’s sake, buy a suit this time,’ ” recalled Dr. Vaghri, an assistant professor at the University of B.C.’s Human Early Learning Partnership (HELP), of which Dr. Hertzman was director.

“He said, ‘No. Do you know how a stocky, short man like me would look in a suit?’ Then he said, ‘I’m just joking.’ ”

The exchange is one of many lasting memories Dr. Vaghri has of her friend and mentor, who died suddenly late last week at the age of 59 while working abroad in London. The cause of his death is not yet known.

Dr. Hertzman’s wardrobe selection – often khakis or jeans and a madras shirt – reflected the disarming, down-to-earth personality of a man who had much to be proud of, friends say. Heralded by colleagues as a guru in his field, the Vancouver native specialized in the study of early learning, examining the impact genetic and environmental factors have on physiology and development – “from cell to society,” he would say.

Dr. Hertzman was a Canada Research Chair in population health and human development, and a professor in the School of Population and Public Health at UBC. He was awarded the Order of Canada last month.

Friend and colleague Jim Dunn called Dr. Hertzman the “ultimate blend of scholar and advocate,” noting that he made a complex subject accessible by adding the element of humanity.

“He brought a body of knowledge that was somewhat sequestered in clinical studies and experimental studies and really mainstreamed it for the policy audience and the general public at large,” he said. “The conversation that we have in this country about healthy child development – we don’t always act on it – is far more sophisticated than it was 15 years ago, and Clyde was a huge part of that.”

Dr. Hertzman coined the term “biological embedding” – the concept of experiences and social environments altering human biological and developmental processes, leading to long-term changes in health, well-being, learning or behaviour.

In a statement posted to its website, HELP said Dr. Hertzman’s influence in the fields of early child development, population health and epidemiology has been significant locally, nationally and internationally.

“We have lost a dear friend, an inspiration to all of us and a leader whose shoes can never be filled.”

B.C. Premier Christy Clark also offered high praise for Dr. Hertzman in a statement issued Sunday.

“British Columbia has lost one of its brightest lights in Dr. Hertzman,” Ms. Clark said. “His trailblazing work on early childhood and human development attracted global attention. The research he has led will continue to change lives for the better. Recognized not only as a world leader, but an inspiration to those who followed and supported his work, I can think of few people who better represented B.C. and Canada at our finest.”

Dr. Hertzman leaves his partner, Marcy; his three children Eric, Emily and Amos; and his mother, Eileen.

Vieira ready to accept Arsenal exit

Juventus and Real Madrid in for Arsenal captain

Vieira ready to accept Arsenal exit

Juventus and Real Madrid in for Arsenal captain

Patrick Vieira has accepted that Arsenal are ready to let him go and he will not try to stay if the club reach an agreement for his departure.

Juventus are trying to negotiate a deal for the midfielder and face competition from Real Madrid. Of those two, Vieira's preference would be Madrid but he would be willing to return to Italy, despite an unsuccessful spell at Milan in 1995-96.

Sources at Juventus claim Vieira has agreed in principle to a contract offer from them. That was denied in other quarters but there is no question about the Italian champion's determination to sign the 29-year-old and there were unconfirmed reports in Italy last night that three Juve directors had flown to London to try to finalise the deal. Their existing offer, including a player exchange, has been rebuffed by Arsène Wenger.

"The Frenchman [Vieira] has great quality, not only as a player but as a man," said the Juventus club administrator Antonio Giraudo. "There's no doubt we are interested." But he added that the clubs were still some way from agreeing a transfer.

Real Madrid, who have courted Vieira in the past, appear to be in a stronger financial position to make a move for him and Arsenal must hope a bidding war will push up their captain's price.

Sir Alex Ferguson expressed his dismay last night that Rio Ferdinand had steadfastly refused to commit himself to a "fantastic" new contract at Manchester United, the terms of which would make him the highest-paid player in the club's history with an annual salary in excess of £5m.

Ferguson has already taken away the vice-captaincy from Ferdinand and the United manager scarcely concealed his irritation that protracted negotiations appeared to have reached an impasse, "creating speculation and an unnecessary agenda that we do not want".

"We want Rio to sign now because it will put the whole matter to rest," he said. "We want to be ready for our Champions League qualifiers next month with everyone at the club remaining here. That can be solidified by Rio signing his contract."

Newcastle United's desire for a striker to replace the departed Craig Bellamy is leading them ever closer to Middlesbrough's Mark Viduka. Boro would use the money to try to sign the Juventus midfielder Stephen Appiah.

They have been tracking the 24-year-old Ghanaian for some time and have been informed by Juventus that they would be prepared to sell should they attract Vieira from Arsenal.

It is not known how much Boro will demand for Viduka but they want to remove him from their wage bill.

As it stands Kieron Dyer will partner Alan Shearer in attack at the start of the season and Newcastle said yesterday that they expected Dyer to sign a new four-year contract this week.

Wigan have signed the Tranmere full-back Ryan Taylor, 20, for an undisclosed fee.

Mikel Arteta is set to become an Everton player after reducing his wage demands to below £30,000 a week.

Hamburg have announced the signing of the Tottenham defender Thimothée Atouba. The 23-year-old Cameroon international has signed a four-year deal.

Norwich have confirmed they have agreed a fee with Sweden's Djurgarden for the midfielder Mattias Jonson.

Bluebirds rise above expectation

Bluebirds rise above expectation

Cardiff City were the weekend's big winners in the Championship, with the resurgent Bluebirds hammering Crewe Alexandra 6-1 at Ninian Park.

Dave Jones's side scored five goals in the second-half - including a ninth of the season for the 19-year-old Cameron Jerome - and remain one point behind with a game in hand on Watford, who won at Ipswich

"I don't think anyone would have expected us to be seventh in the league at this stage," said the Cardiff defender Darren Purse. "I don't see why we can't maintain our position."

It was another bad day for Nigel Worthington and Norwich City who, having found themselves 4-0 down at half-time against Luton in midweek, were three goals behind at the interval against QPR on Saturday. The result leaves the Canaries seven points away from the play-offs in 17th place. Hull City leapfrogged Derby County in mid-table with a 2-1 win at the KC Stadium thanks Stuart Green's late penalty.

In League One Southend United returned to the top on goal difference despite only drawing at home to Barnsley. Huddersfield Town, the leaders going into the weekend, lost 4-3 at Chesterfield after trailing 3-0 with 10 minutes to go. "To score three goals away from home and not come away with anything should not happen," said their manager Peter Jackson. "We need to be more solid at the back."

The chasing pack failed to take advantage, though, with Swansea City only managing a draw at Rotherham United, Brentford playing out a 0-0 at Blackpool - who played for nearly an hour with 10 men - and Scunthorpe United also taking only a point from bottom-placed Swindon Town

Grimsby Town slipped from top to third in League Two after a 2-1 defeat against Leyton Orient. The Mariners will have to improve when Newcastle visit Blundell Park on Wednesday. Barnet, who face Manchester United in the Carling Cup this week, also had a poor warm-up, losing 4-0 at Mansfield Town. The Stags rose above Torquay United and Macclesfield Town, who drew 1-1 at Plainmoor.

So, who are going to be this season's Wigan Athletic?

The Latics not only stayed up, but pushed for Europe. This year's new boys need early points to do the same

So, who are going to be this season's Wigan Athletic?

The Latics not only stayed up, but pushed for Europe. This year's new boys need early points to do the same

The Premiership is a marathon not a sprint according to most top-flight managers but ask anyone connected with the three promoted clubs about the 38 matches ahead and it is clear that getting out of the blocks quickly is seen as the surest route to survival. There is no suggestion that picking up the pace as the season progresses is the surest route to survival. Wigan and West Ham debunked that theory last term by making explosive starts that left more than half of the Premiership trailing and all but secured their top-flight status for another year.

Reading, Sheffield United and Watford have already taken note. "Over the years the teams that seem to be down there after 10 games find it very difficult to get out," said Reading's Glenn Little. "The benefit West Ham and Wigan had is that they got off to good starts. That gave them confidence and they managed to get up the table. Once you get up there it's easier to hang on. So the first six games for us are vital. We want to try and get points on the board early on so you don't get involved in any trouble."

After early back-to-back defeats Wigan garnered 25 points before the middle of November. Only 10 more were needed to guarantee another season of Premiership football. West Ham gathered momentum at a more leisurely pace although an opening-day victory over Blackburn and seven points from the next four matches provided the platform for an impressive return that removed any relegation fears long before Christmas.

Those statistics spell out the importance of hitting the ground running. But few expect the current Premiership new boys to have a similar impact. Even Sheffield United's manager Neil Warnock, normally the eternal optimist, dismisses the idea that any of the promoted clubs can repeat West Ham and Wigan's achievements. Instead Warnock points to the plight of Sunderland, relegated after winning promotion as champions, as a barometer for the next nine months.

"I don't think the three teams going up this year are what West Ham and Wigan were, so when you look at what's happened to Sunderland you have got to pull something out of the hat to stabilise a team in the Premiership these days," said Warnock. "West Ham and Wigan were the best two teams that have gone up for a number of years. West Ham had the biggest squad and Wigan had the most money, so they were slightly different to the three teams that have gone up this time."

Those promoted clubs have preferred to dip their toe in the transfer market rather than make a splash. Reading's outlay is the smallest with Seol Ki-Hyeon and Sam Sodje costing £1.85m. Watford have been busier, recruiting eight players, although only Danny Shittu and Damien Francis commanded seven-figure fees. That leaves United, having paid out around £5.6m, as the biggest spenders, even if few of the new arrivals at Bramall Lane are proven at Premiership level.

Not that the absence of a track record should preclude success. Several of Wigan's squad, most notably Jimmy Bullard, Leighton Baines and Graham Kavanagh made the transition from the Championship to the Premiership with relative ease, suggesting that hunger can be more important than experience. All three promoted clubs have the latter quality in abundance, but that alone will not ensure success. It is notable that the first-choice strikers at West Ham and Wigan weighed in with 20 league goals between them.

With that in mind it is hardly surprising Phil Jagielka believes Sheffield United's fate will be decided up front and not in defence. "If we can find a goalscorer who can get 10 or 15 goals that's going to go a long way to keeping us up," said the 24-year-old. The portents are not promising given that Rob Hulse, recently signed from Leeds for £2.2m, and Ade Akinbiyi, signed from Burnley last season, both struggled in the top flight in the past. Watford and Reading are also shorn of Premiership quality in attack.

Marlon King scored 22 times for Aidy Boothroyd's side last season but has spent much of his career toiling in the Football League and although Reading's strike pair of Kevin Doyle and David Kitson struck up a prolific partnership in the Championship, it is difficult to see their presence unsettling Premiership defences. "It's not going to be easy," said Doyle. "It's not going to be like last season. I'm going to have to be prepared to go a lot of games without scoring and get used to us getting beaten more often."

The opening five matches should provide some encouragement with Steve Coppell's side taking on Middlesbrough, Aston Villa, Wigan, Manchester City and Sheffield United. Watford will also be broken in gently, although a different baptism awaits Sheffield United. The Blades face Liverpool on Saturday before travelling to Spurs on Tuesday.

Not that losing the first two matches should be seen as a crisis. Wigan went on to win eight of the next nine last season and no one mentioned relegation again.

Since human settlement of  New Zealand, at least 51 bird species have become extinct, and many others have become either locally extinct or endangered.  Of the 51 extinctions, 21 species survived till the arrival of Europeans before they too became extinct. While the exact cause of  a bird species decline to extinction is often debated, a number of contributing factors including loss of habitat, habitat fragmentation, competition, predation and avian diseases brought in with European introduced birds are likely to have played a part in their demise.

During the period 1992 to 2013 there have been 53 species recorded in the Styx Mill Conservation Reserve. Of these 34 are resident species, 10 seasonal visitors and 9 have been vagrants..

The tables below provide a list of some of the bird species that can be found in the Styx catchment.  Further information about the status and habitat requirements of wetland birds and bush birds can be found on other pages.

California Moves to Create Open Education Resources and Low-Cost Textbooks for Students

As a follow-up to a blog I posted in December , the State of California has just yesterday taken a big step forward in reducing the costs of textbooks. In a vote that was almost unanimous, the California Senate approved two measures aimed to save California college students money when buying textbooks. (more…)

Eduction and the Hispanic Market

If you’re looking at how education is changing and you’re not taking into account the changing makeup of the U.S. population, you’re missing a big piece of the puzzle. The Hispanic/Latino population in the United States is growing rapidly and we are just now starting to understand this demographic as a powerful consumer group with regard to technology, education, media, and more. (more…)

The Textbook Unbound

Over the past two months I have attended a few conferences on the future of education. While I was excited to see the many changes headed our way, one thing bothered me: the burdensome attachment to the textbook. It seems that in education, we can’t get past the notion of the textbook. In its most basic sense, the textbook is a bound product by which a systematic path to education is paved, but isn’t there more in this day and age? (more…)

Death crash bus had altered rear suspension

Mercedes, the bus’s manufacturer, says an examination of photographs taken at the crash scene indicate that the original suspension had been replaced with another model.

“It was very evident from the photographs that the rear springs suspension, which come as standard on these vehicles, had been altered and an air suspension system put in its place,” said Fergus Conheady, commercial-vehicle sales manager for Mercedes in Ireland.

The 1989 Mercedes-Benz private-hire bus was carrying more than 30 pupils from Clara to Killina Presentation Secondary School, near Rahan, when it overturned on Wednesday. Michael White, 15, died and 32 people were injured.

Photographs taken after the single-vehicle crash, which happened on a straight stretch of road, showed the rear axle on the bus had become detached. It…

Fraser Forster error gifts three points and top spot to Leeds

Leeds United 2 Norwich City 1

Simon Grayson was full of praise for Norwich City after watching Leeds United’s proud unbeaten record survive the sternest of examinations in a dramatic contest at Elland Road last night.

The Leeds manager had little option but to hail Norwich, even though his team secured a fortuitous victory with a late goal from Jermaine Beckford, who capitalised on a stoppage-time mistake from Fraser Forster. The Norwich goalkeeper’s attempted clearance went straight to the prolific Beckford and he took the chance to snatch three points for the home side and lift them back to the top of Coca-Cola League One.

Leeds remain unbeaten at home since January and unbeaten anywhere in the division this season. They went ahead in the fifteenth minute when Bradley Johnson headed…

Gibbs praises regional game as he bows out

SCOTT GIBBS retired from rugby yesterday with an endorsement of the regional game in Wales that will come as music to the ears of the Welsh Rugby Union. “Regional rugby is now taking shape in Wales and the standard of the game is rising,” Gibbs said. “I’m just happy to have been involved as the game in Wales moves into a new and exciting era.”

Gibbs, 33 yesterday and capped at centre 53 times, stood down from the international game two years ago but has found himself unable to combine professional club rugby with his business interests as a development manager for Liberty Properties.

When he agreed to captain Neath-Swansea Ospreys in their inaugural season, it was on the understanding that he would step down…

Mark Ramprakash turns down offer from IPL

Mark Ramprakash has become the second English cricketer to turn down an approach to play in the Indian Premier League (IPL), which starts in Bangalore this afternoon.

Surrey, whose long-serving batsman, Alistair Brown, also rejected an offer, were sounded out last week by the Jaipur-based franchise, Rajasthan Royals, and asked to release Ramprakash for a two-week stint as substitute for Graeme Smith, the South Africa captain, who has withdrawn until later in the tournament.

Surrey spoke to Ramprakash before refusing the approach, but made it clear that they would not stand in his way in future. Still one of the most glamorous cricketers in the world despite his long absence from the international game, it is a safe bet that he will become one of…

Weir secures third track title – now for the big one

No 3 for the extraordinary 33-year-old from Sutton was his last in this stadium and he left the crowd with a contest to remember

Pretty much the moment that David Weir rolled on to the Olympic Stadium track for the 800 metres last night, a few words from Bradley Wiggins hit the twittershphere: “Come on David, let’s av it!” From one serial winner to another.

And Weir did have it. In the tightest race of his extraordinary London Paralympic life, he brought it home again on an evening of drama and celebration that carried with it irresistible echoes of the great glory night at the Olympics a mere month ago.

Super Saturday was the Olympic night that delivered three golds and had crowds floating mesmerised from their seats acknowledging the experience with I-was-there smiles. There was all that here last night too. Plus Eddie Izzard handing out medals. And…

DC Marijuana Legalization Campaign Will Submit 58,000 Signatures

washington dc marijuana legalizationMonday at 10 a.m., the D.C. Cannabis Campaign will submit 58,000 signatures to the D.C. Board of Elections at 441 4th Street NW Suite 250,  in order to place Initiative 71 on the November ballot. The Board of Elections will have 30 days to verify that the campaign has the required 23,780 signatures to qualify.

Monday at 12 pm noon, members of the campaign will join D.C. elected officials on a national press teleconference to discuss the impact of the ballot initiative and the City Council’s bill on overall marijuana arrest rates, issues surrounding racial justice, and the District’s fight for self-determination.

D.C. hopes to follow in the steps of Colorado and Washington by legalizing marijuana and polls show the issue is popular among District residents, with support above 60 percent.  The District of Columbia currently has the highest per capita marijuana arrest rates in the U.S.  In 2010 black people in the District accounted for 91 percent of all marijuana arrests – even though black and white people use marijuana at roughly similar rates.

Initiative 71 allows adults over the age of 21 to possess up to two ounces of marijuana on their person at any time, and allows for the cultivation of up to six marijuana plants at home. District law prevents the ballot initiative from addressing the sale of marijuana. However, the D.C. City Council is currently considering a bill which will tax and regulate marijuana within the District.

This initiative builds on the work of the D.C. City Council, which decriminalized marijuana this past spring. However, as data from numerous jurisdictions around the country indicate, decriminalization alone is not enough to change police practices. Colorado and Washington have seen precipitous declines in marijuana arrests since enacting legalization in 2012, saving these states millions in tax dollars, and, more importantly, eliminating the collateral consequences associated with arrests for marijuana possession.

An appropriations rider submitted by Rep. Andy Harris (R-MD) has the potential to threaten decriminalization and prevent District residents from voting on this issue. It was adopted by the US House Appropriations Committee at the end of June. If included in the 2015 budget, the rider would be an affront to the District’s right to home rule, while ensuring that thousands of District residents continue to be arrested and suffer the collateral consequences associated with a criminal record.  In response, district residents are organizing a boycott of Ocean City, part of Rep. Harris’s district, as a show of their disapproval of Harris’s intervention in D.C. Affairs.

WHAT:  Press Teleconference: Initiative 71 and the legalization of marijuana in the Nation’s Capital.

WHEN:  Monday, July 7, at Noon ET

HOW:  Contact Tony Newman for call-in info. (646) 335-5384

    I want to know if DC approves by signs and gets on ballot how long will it take NY to get on the she-bang?

  4. Vedad Grozdanic on

    Very well put. Unfortunately, I reside in Michigan, but I have been following this blog on a daily basis for the past month. Anyway, I would just like to say thank you for taking a very direct course of action.

  5. No taxation without representation. As we all know, DC doesn’t have congressional representation.

  6. Well said. And while it might be deemed “not fair” to boycott Ocean City, MD, who says politics are fair. They need to call off their hound.

  7. Washington DC is the richest city in the area, comparable to New York, Atlanta, and Chicago in terms of free-flowing disposable income. It’s estimated that over 80% of the nation’s PhDs live in and around the DC area.

    Resort towns like Ocean City, MD need urban and suburban tourists to vacation there seasonally, just to stay afloat throughout the year (like the town in JAWS). As it says above, Andy Harris is the Republican jerk who has submitted a rider bill to undermine Washington DC’s decriminalization and legalization efforts. Andy Harris is the Republican jerk who represents Ocean City, MD. It’s pure insanity that the Congressman representing a resort town would go out of his way to undermine the democratic process in the city from which most of that resort town’s business originates.

    I’m ensuring nobody I know vacations or does business with anyone in the Ocean City area until Andy Harris feels the change in the wind, or until Andy Harris doesn’t return to Congress after 2014. Perhaps it’s not morally right to punish the whole town of Ocean City for the actions of their Congressman. But that’s our only recourse as citizens living outside his district.

    Frankly, the GOP should step up and do something about this guy. Andy Harris sticking his nose into another municipality’s business like this contrasts heavily with their “states rights” mantra — small government is local government and federal interference is the enemy. Federal interference of the sort Andy Harris is perpetrating, right now. Andy Harris presumes he knows what’s best for a part of the country he wasn’t elected to represent! If Andy Harris isn’t fond of how Washington DC governs itself, I strongly urge the citizens of Ocean City to stop sending him there.

Boston Celtics

2016-17 Season Preview: Celtics are on the right track

The Boston Celtics are entering the 2016-17 NBA season with very high expectations. Many consider them the biggest challengers to the Cleveland Cavaliers in the Eastern Conference, and there is certainly a basis for that argument.

The Celtics definitely should be a better team than last year. Well, at least on paper.

Year In Review

Last season, Boston won 48 games with a roster that featured Isaiah Thomas and a bunch of solid role players. The C’s struggled to generate offense when Thomas wasn’t scoring, and their perimeter shooting left much to be desired.

They won games primarily with their stifling defense, preferring to play at an ugly, mucked-up pace rather than a smooth one similar to the Chicago Bulls during the Joakim Noah-led years of 2013 through 2015.

However, that style did not work out for the Celtics during the playoffs, as they were bounced in six games by the Atlanta Hawks in the first round.

To be perfectly honest, Boston probably overachieved a bit last season.

While it was a solid team, it was never really a serious threat to do any sort of damage in the playoffs, and while the C’s were an annoying squad to play, the Cavaliers and Toronto Raptors likely did not fear them.

This time around, things should be a bit different.

The Celtics added Al Horford into the fray now, giving what was a rather anemic offense a sizeable boost. Guys like Marcus Smart and Kelly Olynyk are another year older and wiser, and Terry Rozier seems primed for a breakout season (or at least a pseudo-breakout).

Boston tried to go for it all this summer, making a serious play for Kevin Durant and trying to work a trade to land another star, but both attempts failed.

Still, “settling” for a four-time All-Star in Horford is not the worst thing in the world.

The question is, do the C’s have enough firepower to constitute a serious threat to Cleveland’s reign?

Right now, the answer is probably “no.”

Yes, the Celtics will almost surely be better than last year, but they probably won’t have the offensive “oomph” to take down LeBron James and Co. in a seven-game series.

Defense isn’t the question here. Boston will be able to slow the Cavs’ offense down to a stage where things will be competitive.

It’s the offense.

At some point, the C’s are going to have to outscore the Cavaliers. I mean, that sounds like an obvious assertion, considering you have to outscore the other team to win, but I’m talking about winning a late-game shootout here.

Assuming the Celtics even meet Cleveland in the playoffs (and that is a pretty big if), there are going to be a couple of games where James and Kyrie Irving are going off.

That’s when Boston would have to dig deep and spawn some type of consistent offense, and I’m not sure it has the capability to do that as currently constructed.

Of course, the C’s could always make a trade between now and then to rectify that issue, but significant trades such as that tend to happen in the summer months rather than during the season.

All of that being said, at this juncture, the Celtics shouldn’t expect to beat the Cavaliers.

Boston simply isn’t on Cleveland’s level right now, and it is a piece or two away from being a legitimate title contender. Still, the C’s are obviously on the right track.

Can the Celtics knock the Cavaliers off their pedestal?

Best-Case Scenario

The absolute best-case scenario for the Celtics would probably be taking the Cavs to seven games in a conference finals series. You know what? They may have the wherewithal to make that happen.

Again, defense is Boston’s calling card, so it may be able to win a couple of games against Cleveland based on its defense alone.

Also, when you look at the rest of the East, there isn’t a team other than the Cavaliers that you can comfortably say is better than the C’s.

I guess you’d have to place the Raptors above them right now, considering Toronto made the conference finals last season, but the Celtics may have vaulted ahead of them this past summer.

The Detroit Pistons and Indiana Pacers are trendy picks to make some noise, and while both are very talented, neither is likely to be better than Boston.

The Miami Heat are sure to take a huge step back, and the Chicago Bulls have ceased being a serious threat.

That leaves, well, the C’s.

Worst-Case Scenario

Well, the worst possible thing would be a rapid decline by the 30-year-old Horford.

Is it probable? No, especially given the fact that Horford’s effectiveness is predicated more on basketball IQ and craftiness rather than sheer athleticism, but you can never completely discount the possibility.

Also, guys like Smart, Olynyk and Rozier might not progress at all, leaving the Celtics with very limited offensive options once again.

Should any of those things occur, Boston will obviously be in some trouble.

All things considered, the C’s should be a very fun team to watch this season, and we may very well see something we became so accustomed to watching several years ago: LeBron having to go through Boston to reach the mountaintop.

Man charged with talking too long at board meeting

BRIDGEPORT TOWNSHIP, Mich. — A Michigan man has been arrested after authorities say he refused to stop talking past a three-minute time limit for public comment at a township board meeting.

Mark A. Adams was arraigned Friday in Saginaw District Court on a felony charge of resisting and obstructing a police officer and a misdemeanor count of disturbing the peace.

Adams was arrested at the March 4 meeting by three Bridgeport Township police officers. Authorities say he refused to stop talking when township officials told him to do so.

The Saginaw News reports the arrest took place on Adams’ 59th birthday.

Adams’ lawyer, Tom Frank, said today he had no comment.

The resisting and obstructing charge carries a maximum penalty of two years behind bars.

Adams is scheduled for a preliminary hearing Wednesday.

Detroit’s show this year was more global than ever. It was also pretty relevant. The new production metal was mostly the sort you could relate to without too much explanation, and the concepts were attractive but not too fanciful.

Toyota-Lexus had a great show. At last there’s concrete evidence of what company chief Akio Toyoda and his engineers have been promising for a while. They want to make cars that are more than appliances: cars people actually yearn for.

The Toyota FT-1 looks great, and more important it shows how the company is developing a distinctive design voice for all its cars. But if there’s a production spin-off (big if) it’s a way away. Lexus, as shown by the RC-F, is a few years ahead of the parent company in getting its design distinctive. And the RC-F should be a bit of an event to drive as well as to look at - behind those rapier headlights it comes with natural aspiration.

Not such a happy show for VW-Audi. VW has earmarked growth in the US as crucial for its world-domination plan, and is making a special local Passat. But it actually slipped backward in sales last year. The dealers need the new big crossover, and it’s still a couple of years away. The Dune Beetle was just dressing for a bare window.

And the Audi Shooting Brake concept? Hmm, well under there is the new TT.  I could only see three or four years of foot-dragging progress since the last TT, not the eight summers that have actually passed. Mind you, the dash and its interfaces are cleverly updated.

Over at Porschethe 911 Targa is a fun riff on the original’s Targa design. But good grief what a bag of unnecessary weight and complication its power roof is. Why didn’t they just top-hinge that rear window and have you use your own muscles to pack away the lightweight magnesium roof panel. This feverish complication smells of the Honda CRX Del Sol all over again.

Better news from the Germans when Mercedes unveiled the new C-Class, a great-looking car with interior quality and technology that blew people away. For BMW too it was a decent show, with the M3, M4, 2-series and 4-cabrio all on their first public outings.

And Volvo cleverly used a concept to cover for the fact there’s a lot of waiting going on. But even though its big cars are desperately old, the company made a profit and is investing heavily in a new vehicle architecture and powertrains. Best of all, the XC Coupe concept is another terrifically well-wrought piece of design. A bright future beckons for the plucky Swedes.

The Koreans, Hyundai-Kia, storm ever onward. Their rear-drive platform produced the Genesis saloon, and the Kia GT4 concept. The Genesis looks a bit conservative, but it’s stacked with tech and quality. It goes down a storm in the US, but over here only Hyundai dealer bosses will be driving them. Still, it’ll give the i40 more cred. The GT4 moves Kia’s design onward, its surfacing mire voluptuous than the cars they currently sell. They seem serious about turning it into a production car too.

Nissan had a new saloon too. It’s a concept for the next Maxima, and has a real swagger to it. The Maxima is made over there and sells bg numbers. The new concept is big, too big for a mass-brand car in Europe so won’t sell here. But the design is world-class sophisticated. Oh, and the Tokyo-show IDx concept cars were on display at Detroit too, a good sign. Nissan’s engineering and marketing chief Andy Palmer said they’re getting close to a public ‘yes’ so we like this company right now.

So to the big American three. Of which Ford made easily the biggest splashes.

This was the Mustang’s public in-the-flesh debut. And it looks like the right mix of American heritage, world-class finish, and sports-car tech at what should be good value.

But Ford’s really big news was in trucks. The F150, best-selling vehicle in the US for 37 years, has switched to an aluminium body. That represents a vast investment in factories, and a major risk that can actually do the manufacturing consistently well. Betting the farm indeed. Yet the visual design plays very conservatively, not having changed much at all. The F150 is too big to make sense in Europe, but the Transit, Britain’s best-selling van for even longer, is making the trip the opposite way. This year they start building it in Kansas. One Ford indeed.

Chrysler and GM have modernised their lineups impressively since bankruptcy, but at the show this year they were quiet.

The Chrysler 200 is a vital catch-up but a hard one to get excited about. It’s the brand filling a huge hole in its lineup by making a slightly posher Dodge Dart. It won’t sell in Europe now that the Lancia rebadging exercise failed so badly. Although Fiat has now bought the remaining shares in the Chrysler Group, there’s still a lot of work in making Fiats and Alfas that will go well over there, and Chryslers that’ll play on our side of the Atlantic.

GM’s main news was just variants of existing cars. Not really enough for the hometown show. That said, the coupe version of Cadillac’s impressive ARS looked good. And yes, we are indeed wildly excited about the very sophisticated Corvette Stingray Z06.

I can’t get over the fact that such diverse names as Chevrolet and Jaguar have made two cars as similar in template as the Z06 and F-Type R. They’re both compact two seaters with rear-drive, V8, supercharger and lots of aluminium in the structure. Things really are getting more global.

Recently widowed well-to-do Laura Henderson is at a bit of a loose end in inter-war London. On a whim she buys the derelict Windmill theatre in the West End and persuades impresario Vivian Van Damm to run it, despite the fact the two don't seem to get on at all. Although their idea of a non-stop revue is at first a success, other theatres copy it and disaster looms. Laura suggests they put nudes in the show, but Van Damm points out that the Lord Chamberlain, who licenses live shows in Britain, is likely to have something to say about this. Luckily Mrs Henderson is friends with him.
