Madonna Swastika Use: Run Back in Paris, Likely to Result in Lawsuit


It's all fun and games until someone flashes a Swastika in concert.

During a concert in Tel Aviv earlier this year, Madonna aired a video that included a shot of the infamous Nazi symbol, using it as a way to call out National Front leader Marine Le Pen, a political leader with extraordinarily conservative views.

She then did so again in Paris on Saturday, with 70,000 attendees looking on, and will likely now face legal consequences.

Le Pen is expected to take Madonna to court, according to The Guardian, deeming the act a "public insult."

Said National Front Vice President Florian Philippot:

"We cannot accept everything. We cannot accept this insulting connection. Marine Le Pen is defending her honor, but also that of party members and supporters and the millions of Front National voters."

No legal documents have been filed yet, but circle August 21 on your calendar, music/gossip fans: Madonna returns to France on that date for a concert in Nice.

Rising lumber shipments brighten rail outlook

(Reuters) - Railroad shipments of lumber are gaining momentum, signaling a construction upturn that should drive up shipping volume of consumer products from appliances to furniture.

This mounting demand for construction and household goods bodes well for Union Pacific Corp , CSX Corp , Norfolk Southern Corp and Kansas City Southern as they report earnings for a quarter that was crimped by a deep drop in coal shipments.

Auto and intermodal shipping - the movement of goods in containers that can be shifted between modes of transportation such as from train to truck - have more than offset the coal drop triggered by a mild winter and low natural gas prices.

"The implication of stronger lumber shipments is that if homes are getting built then homes are being furnished," said Jeffrey Kauffman, senior research analyst at Sterne Agee in New York. "That is going to drive intermodal volume - furniture, PVC piping, and also auto sales can be related to new homes."

For the first half of this year, U.S. railroads hauled 11.8 percent more carloads of lumber and wood products than the same period a year earlier, the American Association of Railroads (AAR) said.

This was the third biggest gain of any of 20 categories tracked by the group, behind the 38.2 percent jump in petroleum products and 21.6 percent rise in motor vehicles and equipment.

In the same six-month period, carloads of grain fell 11.9 percent and coal dropped 10.7 percent.

Lumber itself represented 2 percent of the $65.3 billion total U.S. rail revenue generated by commodities carloads in 2011, the American Association of Railroads (AAR) said.

But the consumer goods category, which are finished goods including TVs and appliances, drove about 20 percent of the revenue, second only to 24 percent for coal.

Union Pacific's Chief Executive Officer Jack Koraleski, in a July 2 interview with Reuters, said the company has taken some lumber-moving equipment out of storage for the first time since 2008 to handle the increased volume.

The No. 1 U.S. public railroad's lumber carloads peaked at 226,000 in 2006 before plunging 65 percent to 79,000 in 2009 and then rising to 89,000 last year.

"We're not ready yet to declare victory, but by the time we get to the end of the year we'll probably still be somewhere in the neighborhood of 50 percent below our best year ever with lumber," or 113,000 carloads, Koraleski said. "That's better than it has been and headed in the right direction."

IS THE WORST OVER FOR COAL AND HOUSING?

Coal rail shipments are now headed upward, with utilities burning off stockpiles to produce electricity for air conditioning during this steamy summer, analysts agree.

"Coal looks like it has hit the bottom and is starting to come back up," said Koraleski.

The worst may also be in the past for housing, though the recovery will be slow and uneven, according to a Reuters poll published on Friday.

U.S. construction spending in May rose to its highest level in 2-1/2 years.

Sales of new single-family homes jumped to a two-year high as prices also rose in May. Previously-owned home sales declined 1.5 percent in May on the heels of a 3.4 percent jump the prior month, and median home prices rose for a fourth straight month.

Home funding company Freddie Mac this week said average 30-year mortgage rates hit a record low 3.56 percent, which can add incentive for creditworthy borrowers looking to buy a home.

CSX and Kansas City Southern, the No. 2 and No. 4 biggest public railroads, respectively, kick off second-quarter earnings on Tuesday. Union Pacific follows on Thursday and No. 3 railroad Norfolk Southern on July 24.

Cost controls and strength in autos, intermodal, lumber and petroleum shipments are expected to bolster profits for the rails that otherwise were pressured by coal.

"Any large moves off of earnings would in fact be a surprise as the option market reflects limited risk thus far" for the railroads, said Ophir Gottlieb, managing director of Livevol, an options analytics firm in San Francisco.

CSX earnings are seen at 47 cents, on average, up a penny in the quarter from a year ago, with revenue little changed around $3 billion, according to Thomson Reuters I/B/E/S.

Kansas City Southern, less exposed to coal than its bigger peers, is seen posting earnings of 84 cents versus 71 cents a year ago on revenue of about $571 million versus $535 million.

Union Pacific's earnings are seen rising to $1.96 per share from $1.59, with revenue of $5.2 billion versus $4.9 billion. Norfolk Southern's earnings are seen at $1.53 per share from $1.38 on revenue of $2.94 billion versus $2.87 billion.

"The rails appear to be coming out of a nuclear winter largely intact ? passing stress tests that few other industries could survive and underscoring the resilience of these businesses," Jefferies & Co analysts led by Peter Nesvold, wrote in a note.

The Important Features Of Appliances

Appliances is the name used to describe a range of item. These structures all provide different uses and are applied in many fields. Common usages: software and computer, medical, and home.

The most common general use for this word is in reference to the various household machines. These devices may be mechanical or electrical and are used to perform household functions, primarily of the cleaning or cooking sort. These units can be classified as: major appliances or white goods, small appliances or brown goods, or consumer electronics or shiny goods.

Often, brown goods require some technical knowledge and skills to be correctly operated. They are small in their size, usually electrical and mostly use for the purpose of entertainment. Examples of these goods: answering machines, TV sets, camcorders, home cinema, still cameras, video game consoles, telephones, TV sets, clocks, Hi-Fi, and CD and DVD players. Some goods may have wood or bakelite added to give a finished appearance; however, this is not as common in modern times.

On the other hand, white goods are made for more practical purposes and require less savvy. Some examples of popular white goods: dishwasher, kitchen stove, drying cabinet, freezer, washing machine, air conditioner, clothes dryer, induction cookers and microwave ovens. These machines are used often and for common activities. Usually they include a painted or enamelled white finished.

In modern times, the demand for networking these units is becoming more popular. This involves combining the major controls and functions of the devices. One example would be placing the oven in a mode such as delayed start while the washing machine is working, in order to manage the distribution of energy within a home. Another example would be synchronization of the drying and washing machines. The machines can share their information concerning the load of laundry and then work in a manner that is complementary meaning that wet clothes do not have to wait for the dryer to be available.

In some countries, it has become mandatory for individuals to recycle these units. This is done as a way to prevent toxic substances from these structures entering the environment in a different capacity and causing negatives effects to the ecosystem. The degree of recycling legislation for appliances varies by area. In the United States, there are different policies in every state.

The cost of these devices will range. Major factors that may contribute to overall cost include: retailer, machine model, and whether the good is white, brown or shiny. There are online and offline retailers that sell these products and numerous manufacturers and brands to choose from. When choosing units that fit for your home, consider your various options before making a decision. White goods are often purchased with functionality and design in mind, as they are used often and may be placed in areas of display. Brown goods are often purchased based on popularity in the market and personal preference of the buyer, as these products are primarily for entertainment.

The blanket term used to define numerous products used in a variety of fields, including lifestyle, medical, entertainment and technology, is called appliances. Household appliances are among the most popularly used by the general public and are broken up into two main categories: small and major. Major refers to devices used for practical use and small is items used for entertainment reasons.

Video Cleaning Software Approved by Apple for Sale in Mac App Store PR.com2012-06-15

Marietta, GA, June 15, 2012 ?(PR.com)? Newly formed software development company, GearSprout LLC, has announced that SproutConverter has been approved by Apple to be sold in the hugely popular Mac App Store. the patent pending application is available starting now for Mac OS X. SproutConverter is the first software program available that can automatically remove blank spaces, video noise, distortion, and other glitches from digital video files, home video cassettes and film, and downloaded movies. Apple only accepts the best applications that have been thoroughly tested and evaluated. To be accepted is quite an achievement due to the rigorous and lengthy approval process and as Apple is very selective in allowing companies to sell in the Mac App Store, any company to do so has joined a very exclusive club. With the Mac App Store built into OS X Lion, getting the apps you want has never been easier. No more software boxes, no more discs, no more time-consuming installation. Click once to download and install any app on your Mac. To view SproutConverter in the Mac App Store please visit http://tinyurl.com/gearsprout GearSprout LLC was started earlier this year by Tommy Tornroos and Marshall Miller who both graduated from Southern Polytechnic State University (SPSU) in Marietta, Georgia. This startup tech-company is not the first for Tornroos, as he started TuneTransfers in 2006 to convert music and video media to CDs and DVDs for customers in Georgia. ?I realized that when converting home videos like VHS or 8mm tapes there were lots of distorted sections that had to be manually removed and there was no software available to do this automatically, so we decided to create it ourselves,? Tornroos explained. the two creators of SproutConverter met at SPSU in 2010 and decided to quit their full-time day jobs in 2012 to pursue their goals to start GearSprout LLC and develop SproutConverter together. It has been their goal from the beginning to be accepted to the Mac App Store to sell SproutConverter. Not only can SproutConverter help do-it-your-selfers transfer their home movies to digital by removing distorted sections, this new software can also convert DVDs and downloaded video files to play on your iPhone, iPad, AppleTV, Xbox 360, PS3 and more. ?And this is just the beginning, we are excited to finish the Windows version of our software in the next couple months,? added Tornroos.

Geek deals: 25% off Samsung Galaxy S III Android smartphone

Mobile devices, and especially smartphones, are an area where we have a lot of choice right now. Technology is improving at an exponential rate and smartphones are innovating at every new product release. One of the newest smartphones out there, Samsung?s Galaxy S III, introduces a number of new features in the smartphone arena.

The first one you will notice is its gorgeous 4.8? SuperAMOLED display. While it is one of the largest screens you can get and the first 4.8? one, the phone size isn?t much greater than other smartphones thanks to a slimmed down design. It also has a massive 2GB of system RAM, the most available in a North American phone.

Moving back to our mention of competition, Samsung?s not-so-friendly competition with Apple continues and they have just released their ?S Voice? feature, offering powerful voice control of your phone, much like Apple?s Siri. Being a Galaxy phone that isn?t being sold on Verizon?s rather locked-down network, you can expect extensive developer support for the more daring of you out there.

The rest of the SG3?s features are of course class-leading, including a dual-core 1.5GHz processor, Android 4.0 OS, Near Field Communication, LTE support, and up to 32GB storage with microSD expandable storage, too.

This popular new phone has only been out for a few weeks, but we?ve already got a deal that is $50 below AT&T?s asking price. Existing customers can snag the SG3 for just $149.99 with free 2 day shipping, though new customers will pay $189.99 (still $10 cheaper than AT&T). Amazon also includes $25 worth of free apps from their app store.

Apple Posts List of Macs Official Supported by OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion

Apple has posted an official list of supported hardware on its OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion "How To Upgrade" page.

Upgrade to OS X Mountain Lion from your Mac

In order to install and run Mountain Lion, your Mac must be one of the following models:

Presumably, anything older than the models listed is excluded because of 64-bit compatibility issues - at least the right sort of 64-bit compatibility (OS?X version 10.8 is a 64-bit-only operating system that won't boot in 32-bit mode) - and/or insufficient graphics processing power.

If you're running OS X 10.7 Lion, you can find out if your current Mac qualifies by clicking the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, choosing About This Mac, and then clicking More Info.

Note that Mountain Lion will install over OS X 10.7 Lion or the latest version (10.6.8) of OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. While you have the About This Mac window open, you can check what version of OS?X your Mac is running.

If you are running Lion (10.7.x), you're ready to update to Mountain Lion. If you are running Snow Leopard (10.6.x), update to the latest version of OS X Snow Leopard before you purchase OS X Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store. Click the Apple icon and choose Software Update to update Snow Leopard to version 10.6.8.

With the above provisions satisfied, you'll be ready to download OS X Mountain Lion from the Mac App Store when it's available later this month. Open the Mac App Store from your Dock to buy and download Mountain Lion. Then follow the onscreen instructions to install it. If you don't have broadband Internet access, you can visit any Apple Retail Store to get help with downloading.

Publisher's note: Over the past week, we have updated all profiles for Macs that can run OS X 10.7 Lion to indicate whether they officially support Mountain Lion, along with whether three new OS?X 10.78 features - AirDrop, AirPlay Mirroring, and Power Nap - are supported. dk

Power Consumption May Put Power Macs Out to Pasture as Servers

PPC Luddite's Dan says that with most longtime Mac users moving to Intel systems but still having perfectly good PowerPC hardware sitting around, many ask, "What can I do with those old computers? .?.?. Is there anything close to their original purpose I can use them for?"

The answer most people come up with, if it isn't eBay, is some sort of server: a file server, music/media, or even a web server, and while Power Macs with their multiple drive bays seem ideal for this task, there's the issue of power consumption, and since a server computer will generally always be on, it's a good idea to look at their wattage efficiency to see which models "would be best served being servers of the served."

The article points the finger at dual-processor models as energy hogs, and a note by our own Dan Knight reminds us that the only G4 Power Macs to support drives over 128 GB without special software or an add-on card are the Quicksilver and Mirror Drive Door models.

Publisher's note: I will attest to dual-processor G4s running hot, although I haven't measured their power draw. I have a dual 1.25 GHz MDD running OS X 10.4 Tiger and a dual 1.0 GHz MDD running OS X 10.5 Leopard, and they definitely heat up the room. Putting them to sleep helps, and turning them off at night or over the weekend helps even more, especially with summer heat. (In the winter, this becomes the coziest room in the house.) In fact, once outdoor temperatures get much about 80?F, I need to turn on the air conditioner to keep the Leopard Power Mac from overheating. That said, a G4 or G5 Mac running OS?X 10.5 Leopard with file sharing enabled can function as a Time Machine backup server, providing one more reason to keep the old Macs doing something. dk

Google Chrome Browser Soon Ending Support for OS X 10.5 Leopard

The Chrome Dev Channel Update's Jason Kersey reports that the Dev channel has been updated to 22.0.1201.0 for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Chrome Frame, and that starting with revision 22, the Mac version of Chrome requires OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or higher.

Publisher's note: Chrome has never supported PowerPC Macs or OS X 10.4 Tiger, so this applies only to Intel Macs running OS X 10.5 Leopard. Note that Chrome 20.0.1132.57 is the current stable version, revision 21 is in beta, and 22 is still a ways off, so Intel Macs running Leopard will still be able to remain up-to-date with Chrome until Chrome 22 reaches stable release status.

I have to admit that one reason I got an Intel Mac was to I could try Chrome, and in the past few months, I find myself using it more and more - especially to access Google resources such as Google+, Google Analytics, and Google Affiliate Network. Safari is taking over as my primary browser on the Mac mini running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and vies with Camino for most-used status on my OS X 10.4 Tiger and 10.5 Leopard G4 Power Macs. Firefox and TenFourFox (Firefox ported to PowerPC) are used less frequently, and Opera rarely. (If you're using Leopard on a PowerPC Mac, you might want to give Leopard WebKit a try. This project compiles the latest version of WebKit 1.x for PowerPC, and it's been working well on my Leopard machine for several weeks now.) dk

Future Thunderbird Development Limited to Security and Maintenance Updates

A Mozilla.org blog last Friday noted that the venerable Thunderbird standalone email client that dates back to the days of Netscape's Communicator Internet software suite, still provides an open-source, cross-platform email alternative for those of us who still use desktop email client software, affirming that it's a trustworthy app., under your control, and built to reflect the Mozilla mission. Thunderbird was spun off as a freestanding application with the development of Firefox as Mozilla's flagship Web browser.

However, the blog says that in light of more and more Internet users opting for Web-based email solutions, Mozilla's developer team have been pondering whether Thunderbird is a likely source of innovation and of leadership in today's Internet life, or is it already pretty much what its users want, and mostly needs only ongoing maintenance going forward.

The conclusion reached by most of Mozilla's leadership, including leaders of the Thunderbird team, is that ongoing stability is the most important thing, and that continued innovation in Thunderbird is not a priority for Mozilla's product efforts. Consequently the Thunderbird team has developed a plan that provides both stability for Thunderbird's current state and allows the Thunderbird community to innovate if it chooses.

Under this plan, Mozilla will provide security updates through an Extended Support Release process that will provide security maintenance updates, and will also maintain mechanisms for the Thunderbird community to organize for ongoing development.

If you are a Thunderbird user and are interested in more details, you can find links to follow the discussion.

The EPEAT Controversy

Apple: Dropping EPEAT a Mistake; We're Back

Earlier today, Bob Mansfield, Apple's Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, posted this letter to Apple customers:

"We've recently heard from many loyal Apple customers who were disappointed to learn that we had removed our products from the EPEAT rating system. I recognize that this was a mistake. Starting today, all eligible Apple products are back on EPEAT.

"It's important to know that our commitment to protecting the environment has never changed, and today it is as strong as ever. Apple makes the most environmentally responsible products in our industry. In fact, our engineering teams have worked incredibly hard over the years to make our products even more environmentally friendly, and much of our progress has come in areas not yet measured by EPEAT.

"For example, Apple led the industry in removing harmful toxins such as brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC). We are the only company to comprehensively report greenhouse gas emissions for every product we make, taking into account the entire product lifecycle. And we've removed plastics wherever possible, in favor of materials that are more highly recyclable, more durable, more efficient and longer lasting.

"Perhaps most importantly, we make the most energy-efficient computers in the world and our entire product line exceeds the stringent ENERGY STAR 5.2 government standard. No one else in our industry can make that claim.

"We think the IEEE 1680.1 standard could be a much stronger force for protecting the environment if it were upgraded to include advancements like these. This standard, on which the EPEAT rating system is based, is an important measuring stick for our industry and its products.

"Our relationship with EPEAT has become stronger as a result of this experience, and we look forward to working with EPEAT as their rating system and the underlying IEEE 1680.1 standard evolve. Our team at Apple is dedicated to designing products that everyone can be proud to own and use."

Apple No Longer Registering Products in EPEAT

EPEAT has posted a notice saying:

"Apple has notified EPEAT that it is withdrawing its products from the EPEAT registry and will no longer be submitting its products to EPEAT for environmental rating.

"EPEAT is the leading global environmental rating system for electronic products, connecting purchasers to environmentally preferable choices and benefiting producers who demonstrate environmental responsibility and innovation.

"For participating electronics manufacturers, EPEAT is a chance to showcase and validate their greener design initiatives, cleaner production and customer support services. But EPEAT is more than simply a product rating it is also a community effort by all interested stakeholders to define and maintain best practice in environmental sustainability for electronics.

"We regret that Apple will no longer be registering its products in EPEAT. We hope that they will decide to do so again at some point in future."

Apple Sacrifices Green at the Altar of Thin

iFixit's Kyle Wiens notes that federal agencies can no longer buy Apple products for their offices due to Apple's announcement that it will be pulling its products from the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) green consumer electronics standard. EPEAT, developed by the Green Electronics Council with a grant from the EPA in 2006, is tasked with mitigating negative environmental and social impacts of electronics manufacturing by requiring that products meet eight environmental performance categories, including product lifetime, toxic materials, and recyclability of components and packaging materials.

Wiens says that since 2007, all of Apple's new products have been EPEAT Gold Certified, and federal agencies can only purchase products that meet the EPEAT standard. He believes that it's no coincidence that Apple's pullout decision came just weeks after release of its very-difficult-to-repair MacBook Pro with Retina Display, for which EPEAT certification was quietly left out of Apple's marketing material.

According to Wiens' EPEAT contacts, Apple's mobile design direction is in conflict with the intended direction of the environmental standard, which imposes particular requirements for product disassemble-ability, which is a major consideration for recycling. The standard dictates that external enclosures, chassis, and electronic subassemblies must be removable with commonly available tools or by hand, because it poses difficulty when manufacturers glue batteries to the device chassis with industrial-strength adhesive - as Apple has chosen to do with the Retina MacBook Pro.

Wiens concludes that Apple's decision to opt out of these most basic product eco-standards demonstrates that in Apple's world design-coolness supersedes concern for the environment.

Why Apple Withdrew from EPEAT

Macworld UK's Mark Hattersley has a simple explanation for Apple's bombshell withdrawal from the US government's EPEAT product environmental impact rating system this week: the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display.

Hattersley notes that with this machine practically no internal upgrade can be performed, with the chipset, graphics, RAM, and flash memory mostly (except for the SSD) hard-soldered together and guarded by propriety Apple pentalobe screws, and the battery glued to the chassis increasing the likelihood that it'll break during disassembly, and also covering the trackpad cable (more damage potential), plus the display assembly is completely fused, with no glass protecting it, so if anything fails inside the extremely expensive display assembly, the entire thing will need replacing.

EPEAT is concerned with not only the materials a device is built with, or the conditions that it is built in, but how easy it is to break down and recycle, an aspect where Apple is obviously getting worse and not better, going out of its way in general to build devices that are difficult to strip apart, and the MacBook Air Retina Display most likely pointing to the future of the MacBook range.

Apple Responds to EPEAT Concerns

The Loop's well-connected Jim Dalrymple reports that Apple on Tuesday responded to concerns over its asking to have its products removed from EPEAT, the US government's list of environmentally friendly products.

Dalrymple cites Apple representative Kristin Huguet telling The Loop, "Apple takes a comprehensive approach to measuring our environmental impact, and all of our products meet the strictest energy efficiency standards backed by the US government, Energy Star 5.2. We also lead the industry by reporting each product's greenhouse gas emissions on our website, and Apple products are superior in other important environmental areas not measured by EPEAT, such as removal of toxic materials."

Ms. Huguet also emphasized that it's important to note that in addition to not measuring toxins and other environmental areas, EPEAT also doesn't measure smartphones or tablets, which are clearly two areas vitally important for Apple and not covered by EPEAT, and observes that companies like Dell may have 171 products listed on EPEAT, but if you look on Dell's website, none of their computers are Energy Star compliant.

City of San Francisco Ends Mac Purchases Due to EPEAT Withdrawal

The Register's Iain Thomson reports that San Francisco city authorities have banned departmental purchases of Apple hardware now that Cupertino has dropped out of the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) green-standards scheme, citing Melanie Nutter, director of San Francisco's Department of Environment, telling The Wall Street Journal, "We are disappointed that Apple chose to withdraw from EPEAT, and we hope that the city saying it will not buy Apple products will make Apple reconsider its participation."

Thompson reports that Apple pulled out of the EPEAT program after launching of its latest MacBook line - the design of which has both the battery and the screen glued into the case, causing iFixit to declare it the most unrepairable laptop they've ever tested and harshly criticizing Apple for making the components impossible to recycle economically.

Retina MacBook Pro Nukes Apple's Green Credentials

The Register's Anna Leach says that the tightly packed new MacBook Pro with Retina display prevents the laptop from meeting requirements laid down by the US government's eco-friendly Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT), which announced on Monday that the Retina Display Apple laptop is "difficult to disassemble for upgrades, repairs, and recycling - and could force the green-minded to rethink Apple loyalties".

Apple preemptively pulled all 39 of its products from the EPEAT's registry of "green gadgets" last week. All of the company's gear previously had gold ratings from EPEAT.

TypeIt4Me 5.3 Now Available on the Mac App Store

TypeIt4MeEttore Software's TypeIt4Me 5.3, a text macro and typing shortcut utility that expands abbreviations as you type, is now available to download from the Mac App Store. This latest version includes iCloud support, so you can use your TypeIt4Me abbreviations seamlessly across all your Macs and with TypeIt4Me Touch on your iPad or iPhone. There's also a new pane just above your TypeIt4Me clippings that enables you to manage your local abbreviation sets and drag them across to iCloud and back again as you require.

A note for customers who purchase TypeIt4Me outside of the Mac App Store:

Apple currently only permits applications sold through the Mac App Store to access iCloud, so for now, the incarnation of TypeIt4Me available for direct download from the Ettore Software website will remain at version 5.2.1 rather than 5.3. That's while Riccardo Ettore evaluates options for adding some form of access to iCloud, for example via a helper application made available separately on the Mac App Store.

Version 5.3 system requirements:

  • OS X 10.7 or later
  • 64-bit processor
