Apple Store App for iOS Gains Support for iPhone 6s, iOS 9
» ‎ MacRumors: Mac News and Rumors - All Stories

Tags: [edit]

Apple today updated its Apple Store app for iOS devices to version 3.5, adding support for the new iPhone 6s and the iOS 9 operating system. Apple's release notes for the update are vague, so there are no details on what new features the app might have for iOS 9 and the iPhone 6s.

It's possible the Apple Store app update adds support for the 3D Touch feature built into the new iPhones, enabling Quick Actions that can be accessed directly from the Home screen, but it's also possible this is a simple compatibility update that makes sure the app works properly with the new devices. We'll update this post when we learn more about what's new in today's update.
What's New in Version 3.5
- iOS compatibility update
- Adds support for iPhone 6s
The Apple Store app can be downloaded from the App Store for free. [Direct Link]

Update: Today's update does indeed add 3D Touch Quick Actions to the Apple Store app. A force press from the Home screen on the app icon will bring up options to open the app directly to the store, a list of retail stores, or orders placed.

Following Google’s lead, carriers and users can join in the fight against robocalls
» ‎ VentureBeat

Enclosure: [download]

Tags: [edit]
For the first time, Google last week joined the legal fight against robocalls.

It filed suit against a search engine optimization firm in California for robocalls that promised better results from Google’s search engine. It also set up a new web page for reporting robocall scams.

But even mighty Google can only do so much to counter the epidemic of robocalls. Carriers can, and should, do more to combat them, according to Jan Volzke, VP of reputation services for identity management firm Whitepages.
From VentureBeat Get faster turnaround on creative, more testing, smarter improvements and better results. Learn how to apply agile marketing at our roadshow in SF.
We’re “at a point where we have no trust in a phone call,” he told me in a recent conversation.

In case you’re one of the six people in the U.S. who haven’t encountered such “extremely urgent” robocalls, here’s one Googlized version that also touts Bing and Yahoo. (Although it’s of the same ilk, it’s not clear if this robocall is from the company Google is suing.)

But things could change. In early summer, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) strengthened carriers’ hand in combatting robocalls.

In a big breakthrough this past June, the FCC gave carriers the green light to block unwanted calls. The carriers had asked the federal agency to decide if they could legally offer call-blocking, given their common carrier status, and other issues. Under “common carrier” regulations, all traffic needs to be handled in the same manner.

Yes, the agency said. You, the carriers, can block calls.

The FCC also gave consumers additional latitude in the area of consent and in their ability to block calls. The FCC ruling said consent (to receive such calls) could be withdrawn at any time, consent is automatically removed if a landline or cell number gets assigned to someone else, and text messages count as robocalls.

Previously, Volzke pointed out, it was difficult to undo consent once you had given it, and “now all robocallers must allow you to get out of it.”

If there is any doubt you have opted out, the FCC clarified later in the summer — the burden is on the robocalling business to show that the user has opted in or that there is an existing business relationship.

Carriers now “need to get serious” about the fight, Volzke said.

As one example of their weak response, he said that carriers offer “these services for a ridiculous $4.99 a month to block up to ten [robocalling phone numbers], and then you have to renew it every 30 days.”

He’s not alone in his frustration. Attorney generals of dozens of states have written to the carriers urging them to take care of this situation

But robocalls have not been declining since the FCC’s decision in June. In fact, Volzke said, the amount of mobile spam and robocalls that Whitepages blocks monthly is up about 40 percent since then.

He pointed to several remaining structural issues, such as the fact that unwanted calls can involve multiple carriers, and argued that the best solution would be industry-wide. Right now, carriers can only block calls in response to each subscriber’s request — that is, it’s still onesies.

So robocalling — even, probably, robocalling that drops Google’s name — is not going away anytime soon.

As we await the ultimate battle, Volzke offers a few tips:
- The number one thing that affects the robocalls you get is the amount of consent you’ve given. In most cases, your phone number is the key to granting consent. So, treat your phone number with a level of confidentiality just below that of your Social Security number. He noted with amazement that people list their primary phone number on Facebook and Craigslist, where it can be scooped by a spider.
- “Get a second phone number” for public postings, he advised, and be careful when you give your number to people or sites you don’t know. “No one reads all the fine print,” Volzke pointed out.
- If you’re already on robocallers’ lists, he suggests getting an app to filter the calls by originating phone number — assuming we’re talking about your smartphone and not your landline. (Not coincidentally, Whitepages offers a robocall- and robotext-blocking app for Android and iOS devices.)
- Next step is call-blocking for a specific phone number, although the bad guys may well change their number after a while.
- If that doesn’t help, and you’re still getting multiple robocalls, Volzke said that getting a new phone number is “sometimes the only option.” That is, until the carriers get their act in gear.
By the way, Whitepages is an identity data company, not the phone book. They are involved in robocall issues because a) phone numbers are a key identifier, and b) they recently bought robocall blocker NumberCop.

How Do You Solve Solar Power’s Nighttime Problem?
» ‎ Stories from Slate

Tags: [edit]

How do you get solar power when the sun goes down?

This isn’t a trick question.

One answer: You generate power from solar panels during the day. And instead of funneling that electricity into the grid, you simply charge up lots of batteries, which function as a temporary power plant for several hours much later in the day—and even after nightfall.

That’s the business plan behind the Powerwall, Tesla’s home-based battery storage system. And now a small utility on Hawaii’s lush, sparsely populated, and fabulous island of Kauai, has inked a deal with the solar-panel arm of the Musk-Industrial Complex to build a truly massive powerwall—big enough to supply up to one-fifth of the island’s electricity needs for several hours. Earlier this month, Musk-chaired SolarCity and the Kauai Island Utility Cooperative announced they would build the “first utility-scale solar array and battery storage system designed to supply power to the grid in the evening, when demand is highest.”

Here are the specs: SolarCity will build a large solar array capable of producing 17 megawatts at its peak on 50 acres of a former sugar plantation near KIUC’s Kapaia Power Station, near Lihue. A small slice of the property, about two thirds of an acre, equal to half a football field, will be set aside for packs of lithium ion batteries. Lots of them. During the day, the glorious Hawaii sunshine will produce electricity that will be used almost solely to charge up the batteries. Then, in the later afternoon or early evening, when solar panels elsewhere on the Garden Island are growing less productive, the batteries can flood a large amount of power into the grid for several hours. Together the batteries have a collective capacity of 52 megawatt-hours, meaning they can dispatch 13 megawatts an hour for four hours, or one megawatt an hour for 52 hours, or anywhere in between.

That isn’t much power. But given Kauai’s relatively small peak load—about 72 megawatts—the batteries can provide a meaningful amount of juice. As important, they’re displacing the usual source of electricity—burning diesel oil—and at an equivalent or lower price.

Solar has boomed in Hawaii, whose electricity costs are generally the highest in the U.S. thanks to the state’s reliance on burning diesel. But it has created a conundrum. This daily chart of Oahu’s electricity use shows the challenge of managing shifting demand when you have a lot of solar in the system. Overall electricity demand ramps up rapidly early in the morning, and the total load (including from solar panels on rooftops) climbs steadily through the day, and then shifts up again at 6 p.m. It peaks at 8 p.m., and then falls by about a third into the evening. The problem on Oahu and the other Hawaiian islands: The system needs more electricity at precisely the moment that sun power starts to fade.

“We have this issue with a lot of solar on during the day, and we want to figure out how to move that through the night,” says Jim Kelly, member services and communications manager at KIUC, which is a not-for-profit utility that is owned by its 23,000 members. Kauai is a geographical and electrical island (there are no transmission lines connecting it to other landmasses). As a result, local diesel-fueled generators have been the sources that get the island through the night—and through the day. But Kauai is shifting quickly away from fossil fuels. From virtually nothing several years ago, renewable energy—in the form of solar arrays, hydroelectric plants, and biomass plants—should account for close to 40 percent of total electricity production on this island by the end of 2015. KIUC has a plan to get to 50 percent renewables by 2023, which it should easily meet. (The entire state is going to 100 percent by 2045.)

Last year, KIUC put out a request for proposals for energy storage. When SolarCity, which built a 12-megawatt array for KIUC that went into operation last year, responded, the utility was skeptical. Kauai already had plenty of solar. But SolarCity essentially asked KIUC to ignore the panels and focus on the batteries, and to regard them as a swing power plant that could produce lots of electricity at the flick of a switch. (The term of art in the industry is “dispatchable,” meaning it can be supplied on demand.) With the batteries, says Peter Rive, chief technology officer at Solar City, “you have the ability to discharge this enormous amount of power during your peak periods.” The batteries can be fired up and turned down more rapidly than diesel generators, he adds. And SolarCity was willing to fix a price for 20 years.

Aside from saving emissions, the deal is likely to save KIUC money. Kelly says KIUC will be buying the electricity from SolarCity at 14.5 cents per kilowatt-hour. That’s less than the 22 cents per kilowatt-hour KIUC was paying for oil-based generation last year, and roughly the same as the 14 cents per kilowatt-hour it is paying for oil-based generation at this year’s lower prices. And it comes with none of the negative externalities of diesel—no emissions, no environmental impact, and no wild swings in the cost of fuel. “We’re completely whipsawed by the vagaries of the world oil market,” says Kelly, who notes the utility has to jack up prices when oil becomes more expensive. “What we’re looking for is a hedge against that next oil spike.”

The solar-battery facility, which should be completed by the end of next year if permits are forthcoming, makes economic and engineering sense in Kauai due to the unique circumstances on the island. The baseline fuel is diesel, not cheaper natural gas, coal, or nuclear. Hawaii has fabulous sun resources. And with a small load, Kauai can make up a significant amount of capacity with a single large field.

But as time goes on, it may also make sense in other regions—especially if battery and solar prices continue to decline. Batteries paired with solar fields may become an industry standard. As Rive puts it: “Over time, the next decade, it’ll always be deployed with a battery.”

Jumping to search should also be easier now, as Sling has figured out that most Xbox One video apps use the Y button as a shortcut to search.

We'll have to try it out to see whether or not it's a massive improvement — and to see whether that interface lag goes away. What we likely won't see — either now or in the promised interface tweaks to come — is a proper DVR function for the TV service.

2 new studies show the FDA is rushing more drugs to market based on shoddy evidence
» ‎ Vox - All

Tags: [edit]

There was a time when the Food and Drug Administration was so sluggish and conservative in approving new drugs that people who desperately needed access to medicines would die waiting.

But by the early 1990s, Congress had created four programs to expedite the development and approval process for new pharmaceuticals (the breakthrough drug designation, priority review, fast track and accelerated approval). These pathways were intended to push innovative new drugs — drugs to treat rare, serious, or life-threatening diseases — through the FDA more quickly.

Since these medicines were sorely needed, the idea was that rushing them through, often on the basis of more limited and preliminary clinical trials data, would help patients languishing with unmet medical needs.

(Javier Zarracina)

Today, the FDA is now considered the fastest regulatory agency in the world. But there's some concern that these expedited pathways are being used by drug companies to speed through medicines that aren't actually helping patients with unmet medical needs — and that often aren't any improvement over what's already on the market.

In two new studies, published on Wednesday in the BMJ, a group of researchers from Brigham and Women’s Hospital and Harvard Medical School, find that while more drugs are indeed getting to patients more quickly, there's good reason to question their novelty, safety, and effectiveness.

In the first study, the researchers looked at a database of all new medicines approved by the FDA between 1987 and 2013 to find out whether the increase in the number of products coming through on expedited pathways was related to an increase in truly innovative drugs getting to market.
Related What the FDA’s approval of "pink Viagra" tells us about the problems with drug regulation
They found no such correlation. Over the past two decades, the number of drugs qualifying for the FDA's expedited programs has increased 2.6 percent per year, but "this trend is being driven by drugs that are not first in class and thus potentially less innovative."

In 2013, 15 (or 56 percent) of the 27 new drugs approved by the FDA reached patients via one of these expedited programs — so the programs are being used more and more. But as the researchers explain:

Though these programs were designed as exceptions to the standard drug development and FDA approval process for drugs addressing unmet needs associated with serious or life threatening diseases, by the end of our study period, a majority of newly approved drugs were associated with at least one of these special programs, meaning that the exceptions had become more common than the rule.

In a second study, the researchers looked at another related issue with drug approval: companies that seek to market their products for "supplemental indications" — beyond what the drug was originally designed to do. (For example, a birth control pill might originally be approved for pregnancy prevention, but later get approved to help control acne and PMS; the latter two would be supplemental indications.)

Here, too, the researchers found an increase. Between 2005 and 2014, the FDA approved 295 supplemental indications. But there was also a massive range in the quality of the evidence companies presented to back their approvals, with a lot of supplemental approvals being based on very limited data supporting the drugs' safety and effectiveness.

The researchers write that their findings "have important implications for patient care" and "underscore the need for a robust system of post-approval drug monitoring for efficacy and safety, timely confirmatory studies, and re-examination of existing legislative incentives to promote the optimal delivery of evidence based medicine."

When asked for comment on the studies, an FDA spokesperson said, "Generally the FDA does not comment on specific studies, but evaluates them as part the of body of evidence to further our understanding about a particular issue and assist in our mission to protect public health."

On the FDA's expedited programs, the spokesperson said, "[These are in place to speed the availability of new drugs to treat patients with serious conditions." And several of the drugs that have come to market through expedited pathways have been a remarkable help to some patients — such as Gleevec, a life-saving treatment for sufferers of chronic myelogenous leukemia.

"The programs expedite development and review, but do not change the standards for approval," he said.

This last point caught the attention of health advocates on Twitter, including the physician and author Ben Goldacre, who noted that by definition, accelerated approval permits the use of less robust data, including "surrogate endpoints." This means companies submit the results of blood tests on cholesterol levels, for example, which may or may not have an impact on the measures that matter to patients — like reducing the risk of death and disease.

"There is good evidence that drugs are permitted into the accelerated program inappropriately," Goldacre wrote. "Claiming otherwise is very serious."
Concerns are mounting about dangerous and ineffective drugs reaching patients
A number of drugs with marginal benefits and potentially dangerous side effects have also made it through the FDA recently — Belsomra for insomnia, Contrave for weight loss, Addyi (or flibanserin) to boost women's libido — drawing criticism and public concern.

This new research from the BMJ doesn't come in isolation. As a 2014 study in Health Affairs demonstrated, these drugs are part of a trend at the FDA. Since 1992, around the time expedited approval programs were up and running, there's been a 25 percent increase in the number of drugs that are put on the market with black box warnings (signaling very serious side effects) or that are eventually pulled from store shelves over safety concerns.

Again, many of these new drugs offer no clear advantage to patients. A 2010 study in the European Journal of Clinical Pharmacology looked at 122 new drugs approved between 1999 and 2005. Only 10 percent performed better than drugs that were already available. Similarly, a number of studies have found that since the mid-1990s, about 85 to 90 percent of new drugs don't offer any clinical advantages for users.

These concerns are more urgent given a couple of impending changes coming down at the agency.

The FDA will soon get a new commissioner, and President Obama just nominated Dr. Robert M. Califf for the position. According to the New York Times, he comes with "deeper ties to the pharmaceutical industry than any FDA commissioner in recent memory." If he's confirmed, critics worry he will herald an era of even looser oversight of new drugs and cozier ties to the drug industry.

There's also legislation from Congress that could further erode the standards for drug approvals.

In July, the House passed the 21st Century Cures Act by an overwhelming 344-77 vote. Critics have pointed out that hidden in the bill's 352 pages is language that could weaken the quality of evidence the FDA uses to evaluate new drugs and devices, making it easier for companies to bring substandard or dangerous medicines and medical devices to patients. And the pharma-backed bipartisan effort actually has a chance of passing through the Senate and getting signed into law.

This raises the question: Can you trust your medicine? The answer, increasingly, seems to be no.

Samsung says new U.S. offices are its ‘biggest investment in Silicon Valley’ to date
» ‎ VentureBeat

Enclosure: [download]

Tags: [edit]

Samsung officially opened the doors to its new 1.1-million-square-foot Silicon Valley offices Thursday, more than 30 years after its arrival in the San Jose tech corridor in 1983.

The building will house various research labs dedicated to semiconductors, LEDs and displays, staff in sales and marketing, and other support areas, the company said.

“[We are] laying the groundwork for a more aggressive pace of growth over the next several decades,” said Samsung’s chief executive, Dr. Oh-Hyun Kwon, at the grand opening ceremony.

Meanwhile, the company’s president of its U.S.-based device solutions operations, Jaesoo Han, said that the move “represents a major milestone as we open our most strategically important Samsung facility in the U.S., and also our biggest investment in Silicon Valley.”

Samsung also announced that it has established a $1 million STEM College Education Scholarship Fund. In its own words:

Deserving university students who are currently enrolled in STEM-focused programs at a California State or University of California school will benefit from this program, beginning with a $50,000 gift to San Jose State University this year. Each scholarship will cover tuition and living expenses for one year.

But the announcement of the new office has been largely overshadowed by news in virtual reality today: We reported that the Samsung Gear VR will launch as a consumer product this November for $99. (You can read our full roundup from today’s Oculus event here.)

Earlier this week, Samsung unveiled its new fonts-inspired Serif TVs, and shared more about how it relies on startups to stay ahead on technological innovation.

Twitter's CFO asks an age-old question about underwear to showcase a new survey feature (TWTR)
» ‎ Tech

Tags: [edit]

Twitter is testing a new polling feature that lets users conduct quick surveys.

The new polling feature was publicly showcased by Twitter CFO Anthony Noto on Thursday, who tweeted the simple query: Boxers or Briefs? Alongside each under-garment option was a check box for users to select. (Some people initially thought Noto's tweet was a mistake, given his history of mistakenly tweeting direct messages).

A Twitter spokesperson told Business Insider that the company is "experimenting with a new way to poll users on Twitter," but provided no further details.

The new polling feature comes as Twitter is struggling to re-ignite stagnant user growth, as investors pressure the company to appoint a permanent CEO and to find new ways to revamp its product.

The idea for a polling feature was suggested by one of Twitter's loudest outside critics, early investor Chris Sacca, who called for the feature among a long list of product improvements in a lengthy blog post earlier this year.

The polling feature does not currently appear to be broadly available. Reporters at Business Insider were unable to create polls using Twitter. Though Fred Wilson, one of Twitter's early backers, tweeted that he was easily able to create a poll. "I went to the tweet field on twitter's web clients, selected poll, and wrote the tweet," Wilson said in a tweet.

Besides creating new ways for consumers to use Twitter, the polls could also help Twitter build up profiles of users preferences, which the company could potentially use to improve its ad targeting. As users participate in a growing number of polls, Twitter could learn everything about their choice of underwear to their favorite sports teams.

According to a person familiar with the matter though, Twitter does not currently have any plans to use poll data to inform its ad targeting.

"Many landforms have their own distinct colors, telling a complex geological and climatological story that scientists have only just begun to decode. The image resolves details and colors on scales as small as 0.8 miles," NASA wrote online in an image description.

The new photo was taken on July 14, the day New Horizons made its closest approach with the small world, but was not fully downloaded and rendered until recently. Read more...

Annonsblockeraren Crystal börjar vitlista företag som betalar
» ‎ Array.se

Tags: [edit]

Uppdatering 25/9: Artikeln uppdaterad med nya uppgifter från Crystal-utvecklaren

Efter att Marco Arment av vad som närmast kan kallas moraliska skäl plockade bort sin bästsäljande annonsblockerare på App Store stod det klart att Crystal var den stora vinnare. Crystal, som vi tidigare tipsat om, är den annonsblockerare som säljer bäst i App Store sedan iOS 9 lanserades.

Till skillnad från andra annonsblockerare ger Crystal inga möjligheter för användare att själva vitlista de sajter där de faktiskt vill att reklam ska visas. Och med den information som nu framkommer kan det ha funnits en medveten avsikt med just detta redan från start.

Samarbete med Eyeo:s Adblock Plus
Crystal-appens utvecklare Dean Murphy berättar för The Wall Street Journal att han ingått ett avtal med Eyeo GmbH – bolaget som står bakom en av de största annonsblockerar-tilläggen till datorer, Adblock Plus. Eyes har länge tillhandahållit Adblock Plus, och har sedan flera år tillbaka också tjänat pengar på att låta annonsnätverk betala för att vitlistas och därmed få igenom sina annonser även till Adblock Plus-användare. Detta är inget Adblock Plus hycklat med; deras officiella målsättning är att rädda webben från ”dåliga annonser”, och de annonser som tjänsten låter vitlistas mot betalning genomgår en validering för att bland annat inte vara för påträngande.

Överenskommelsen mellan Eyeo och Dean Murphy innebär nu att samma köpta vitlistor som Adblock Plus använder sig av kommer att implementeras i Crystal. Det i sin tur innebär att iOS-användare som använder Crystal eventuellt kommer att börja få se fler och fler annonser beroende på i vilket utsträckning annonsörer och annonsnätverk anser att det är värt att köpa in sig för att bli vitlistad. För Murphys del innebär detta rent ekonomiskt att han kommer att få en provision på de intäkter som annonserna genererar på iOS via vitlistan.
Uppdateras inom ”6-10 veckor”
Appen kommer att uppdateras inom 6-10 veckor, och i samma uppdatering kommer Murphy att att aktivera två inställningar i appen: en för att aktivera eller avaktivera de Adblock Plus-vitlistorna, och en för att själv kunna välja specifika sajter där annonser ska visas. Tusenkronorsfrågan i nuläget är om den förstnämnda inställningen kommer att vara opt-in eller opt-out.

Även om Crystal ger användarna möjlighet att avgöra huruvida de ska delta i Murphys nya affärsmodell eller inte är hela förfarandet något bisarrt och rörigt; Annonsblockeraren som just tjänat pengar på att tusentals användare vill slippa se annonser börjar nu också tjäna pengar på att visa sina egna användare annonser.

It’s Oculus Connect keynote day, and the company had a lot of stuff to announce despite a claim that consumers shouldn’t get too excited about the event in Los Angeles.

Here are all the big announcements:

Samsung’s $99 Gear VR

While Oculus is planning to release the amazing new Rift headset in Q1 2016, one of its biggest partners, Samsung, revealed it will release the consumer version of Gear VR in November for just $99. This will work with Samsung’s Galaxy S6, S6 Edge, S6 Edge+, and Note 5.
From VentureBeat Gaming is in its golden age, and big and small players alike are maneuvering like kings and queens in A Game of Thrones. Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we’ll explore strategies in the new world of gaming.
Oculus SDK 1.0 is coming in November

Both Rift and Gear VR will need a lot of VR content, and Oculus is planning to update its software-development kit to help studios do exactly that. One of the big things this SDK will come with is direct drivers — this will enable the headset to work without having to fiddle with setting up the Rift as an external monitor.

Oculus Arcade

This is a 1980s-style arcade simulator that enables you to feel like you’re playing Pac-Man at a stand-up machine.

Trailer for Rift games

Twitch, Hulu, Netflix, and more to support Oculus Video

Developers are working on plenty of games for virtual reality, but Oculus is expecting all kinds of content to make the leap to its Rift and Gear VR systems. That includes video services like Netflix and Hulu — the latter of which revealed it is planning to build VR-native videos.

“Oculus Ready” PCs

You’re gonna need a beefy PC to use an Oculus Rift, but you won’t need to guess if certain systems will work. Oculus announced it will work with hardware manufacturers like Dell, Alienware, and Asus on a line of “Oculus Ready” rigs that cost less than $1,000.

Minecraft comes to Rift

Microsoft is planning to make the Windows 10 Edition of its block-building game Minecraft compatible with Xbox One.

Oculus is working on its equivalent of Xbox Live and the App Store

Facebook, the owner of Oculus VR, has said that it won’t try to make a lot of money on the Rift hardware. That means it’s going to make the real cash on the app and software side. And we saw a little bit of that today when the company revealed how its platform will handle social features, analytics, and distribution.

Oculus Touch trailer and release date

The incredible Oculus Touch controllers, which brings your hands into VR, aren’t coming out until Q2 of 2016. But here’s a trailer to show what they can do.

Oculus Medium

Oculus chief executive officer Brendan Iribe said that every new platform needs a paint app, and Medium is what his company is calling its take on 3D drawing.

NPBK nollade Adolfsberg
» ‎ 24i

Tags: [edit]

NORA. Målvakten Alexander Appelqvist gjorde en stark match och höll nollan då NPBK slog Adolfsbergs IK på bortaplan med 2-0 efter en mållös första halvlek på torsdagskvällen.

NPBK kom till spel med ett nytt mittbackspar då både Magnus Wikström (avstängd) och Sonny Westberg (sjuk) saknades men duon Alexander Lindahl och Mattias Karlsson vikarierade på ett mycket bra sätt. Framåt var det också en del ändringar då även Josef Steiner (jobb) saknades och Chriss Henriksson startade på bänken (spelade sista halvtimmen). Det betydde att Simon Andersson började som toppforward och han skötte sig bra genom hela matchen. Även Jiresse Mpeka fick chansen från start och även han skötte sig bra.

Det var bra tempo under hela matchen vilket resulterade i att passningsspelet stundtals blev lidande från båda lagen. Det skapades inte så många målchanser under första halvlek och 0-0 i halvtid kändes rättvist.

I den andra halvan kom hemmalaget ut bäst taggat och skapade några bra chanser under första kvarten. 1-0 till NPBK kom därför lite överraskande. Adam Johansson slog en frispark som letade sig in i mål och det målet får hemmalagets målvakt ta på sig.

Efter 25 minuter så fick Adolfsbergs ett gyllene läge att kvittera då man tilldelades en straff efter hands på en NPBK-spelare. Målvakten ”Äpplet” räddade dock snyggt och gjorde förutom straffräddningen flera bra ingripanden under matchen. Med 10 minuter kvar så avgjordes matchen. Lukas Forsberg stod för ett bra förarbete och fri med målvakten så stänkte Anderson in 2-0 från nära håll.

Det var en bra laginsats från NPBK:s sida där hela fyrbackslinjen, förutom nämnda Lindahl och Karlsson som flankerades av Lukas Forsberg och Robin Fredlund, förtjänar beröm. På mitten gjorde Mikael Dahlqvist ett hästjobb och höll ihop laget på ett förtjänstfullt sätt.

Nu väntar serieavslutning hemma mot IK Sturehov nästa lördag (3 oktober).

Uppskjuten matchstart – trots uppmaningen före matchen

Strax före avspark vädjade speakern till publiken att inte använda sig av maskering och tända bengaler, men det struntade den tillresta Göteborgsklacken i och matchen försenades:
– Man accepterar inte det från vissa håll i klackarna, säger säkerhetsansvarige Björn Bördin till C More.

Som många gånger tidigare i år försenades en allsvensk match. Denna gång i toppmötet på Borås Arena mellan Elfsborg och Göteborg. Redan på förhand anades det om att det skulle tändas pyroteknik på arenan, därför bad speakern publiken om att inte elda eller maskera sig, men det gav ingen effekt.

På Göteborgssektionen, som bestod av cirka 4 000 supportar, eldades det ordentligt redan innan spelarna hunnit ut på planen och därför kom spelarna aldrig ut förrän röken skingrats.
– Vi hade förberett oss på att det skulle bli bengalbränning, det var därför vi vädjade. Men man accepterar inte det från vissa håll i klackarna. Vi väntar till röken har skingrat sig innan vi blåser igång matchen, sa säkerhetsansvarige Björn Bördin till C More när bengalerna tändes.

EPA details how VW software thwarted emission tests
» ‎ Computerworld

Tags: [edit]

The software used by Volkswagen to get around environmental standards in some 11 million vehicles effectively told each car to go into a "clean mode" when it detected the car was being tested for emissions.
Details about how the automaker was able to elude emissions testing -- the "defeat device," as the software has been called -- is included in a Sept. 18 letter from the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) to Volkswagen.
That letter prompted VW to admit that half a million Volkswagens and Audis in the U.S. -- and 20 times that number of vehicles worldwide -- were actually polluting 10 to 40 times more than government agencies thought.
Volkswagen AG CEO Martin Winterkorn stepped down Wednesday in the wake of the scandal, which has cost the company billions in lost value as its stock price has plunged. Winterkorn stated that he was "shocked" and "not aware of any wrongdoing" on his part.

Something we can all agree on: emojis are endless amounts of fun.

Even more fun, is pairing the emoji with its real life counterpart back again, like using the emoji list as a treasure map of things that need to be found IRL.

Värmländsk medaljsuccé
» ‎ Värmlands Folkblad

Värmlänningarna fick en smakstart på VM i Val di Fiemme.Sandra Olsson skidade hem damjuniorklassen i överlägsen stil.För Oscar Persson slutade dagen med brons i seniorklassen.– Jag är nöjd. Det var ett starkt motstånd, säger Oscar Persson.
VM på rullskidor inleddes på torsdagen med en backtävling. SK Bores Oscar Persson var det värmländska hoppet i herrseniorklassen där banan mätte 10,4 kilometer.

– Första fyra kilometrarna var platt sedan bar det uppför ett berg i drygt sex kilometer. Det var riktigt tungt, säger Persson.

Svenskarna fick mellantider av en landslagscoach när ungefär tre kilometer var kvar. Då kämpade värmlänningen om bronset mot Maicol Rastelli från Italien och Eugeniy Dementiev från Ryssland. Endast någon sekund skiljde åkarna åt. Robin Norum och Anton Karlsson hade guldläge. Både Norum och Karlsson fick emellertid slita ont på slutet och tappade placeringar.

En åkare som däremot hade mycket kraft sparat var Rastelli som vann loppet knappa halvminuten före Dementiev och Persson.

– Jag hade två sekunder upp till ryssen, säger Persson.

Oscar Persson rankar VM-bronset högre än segern i världscupen i Kroatien i sommar, också den kom i en backtävling.

– Det var många duktiga vinteråkare med nu, säger Persson som lär vila från fredagens sprint och lördagens lagsprint.

Däremot finns Persson på startlinjen i söndagens VM-avslutning över 25 kilometer i fri teknik med masstart.

– Har jag en bra dag kan det bli medalj, säger Persson.

Söndagens VM-bana är inledningsvis identisk med avslutningen på långloppet Marcialonga. Avslutningen är densamma som på torsdagen.

– Det kommer att avgörs sista sex kilometrarna uppför berget. Det gäller att vara med då, säger Persson.

Sandra Olsson, som representerar Malung, infriade favoritskapet i juniorklassen.

Self-Healing Tire Rubber Developed
» ‎ Overclockers Club news Feed

Tags: [edit]

A flat tire can ruin a day pretty quick, especially when a new tire has to be purchased. That could change in the future though, according to a report in the American Chemical Society's Applied Materials & Interfaces journal. Here it is described how researchers have created a durable and elastic rubber that is also self-healing.

An important processing step for producing tire rubber is vulcanization, which adds curatives like sulfur to make the bonds within the material more durable. Once these bonds are severed though, they cannot be repaired. With their new process though, the researchers avoid vulcanization while still making the rubber durable and elastic, and adding the self-healing ability. This healing works at room temperature, so a tire in a garage would still heal itself, though applying heat speeds up the healing. After eight days the researchers observed that the rubber could withstand 754 PSI, and by adding reinforcing agents, it could be made even stronger.

Wikstrand flyger hem till Sverige
» ‎ Värmlands Folkblad

Tags: [edit]

Historien kring Mikael Wikstrand tar en ny vändning.Enligt uppgifter till VF-sporten valde stjärnbacken själv att flyga hem till Sverige natten till fredag svensk tid.– Jag fokuserar bara på att bli frisk och hänvisar alla såna frågor till min agent, säger backen.
Det har varit en lång följetong under sommaren, följetongen kring Mikael Wikstrand. Efter att först ha skrivit på för Färjestad, som då fått ett löfte från Ottawa att man tyckte det var okej att han stannade i Sverige en säsong till, vände allt i somras.

I samband med utvecklingslägret uttalade sig Ottawaledningen om att de helst såg att Wikstrand skulle spela i Nordamerika i vinter. Själv har han hela tiden varit tydlig: Det är i Färjestad han vill spela.

Men Ottawa kallade ändå över Wikstrand till rookielägret och det efterföljande huvudlägret som drog i gång förra torsdagen.

Men enligt flera källor till VF-sporten flög Mikael Wikstrand natten till fredag hem till Sverige och landar under fredagsmorgonen på Arlanda. När VF under torsdagen nådde 21-åringen borta i Kanada ville han dock inte bekräfta de uppgifterna.

– Jag är i Ottawa och kör på, mycket rehab och så vidare eftersom jag varit skadad.

• Så du är inte på väg hem till Sverige?

– Allt sånt får du ta med min agent Christian Sjögren. Just nu fokuserar jag bara på att bli hel och frisk efter min skada.

Det var redan i den första perioden i rookieturneringen, Ottawa mötte Toronto Maple Leafs, som Wikstrand skadade sig efter att ha brakat in i sargen då han skulle hämta en puck. Skadan gjorde att han missade rookiematcherna mot Pittsburgh Penguins och Montreal Canadiens och den har även inneburit att han inte kunnat vara med i någon av de tre matcher Ottawa spelat sedan huvudlägret startade.

• Hur är din fysiska status nu?

– Den är bra, det blir bättre och bättre. Jag kan göra allt förutom ren kontaktträning nu. Det var tråkigt att jag bara hann spela så lite i rookieturneringen. Visst, det var kul att kolla – men man vill ju spela.

VF-sporten försökte på torsdagen att nå Wikstrans agent Christian Sjögren, utan att lyckas.

Mikael Wikstrand har kontrakt med Ottawa Senators till våren 2017.

Steven Soderbergh might be making an interactive movie for HBO
» ‎ The Verge - All Posts

Tags: [edit]

Never one to shy away from narrative experimentation, Steven Soderbergh is reportedly working with HBO on a mysterious project that'll break new ground in terms of viewer interactivity. Entertainment Weekly is reporting that the project is a movie called Mosaic, and it's set to star Sharon Stone — and if Soderbergh has his way, it'll allow viewers to shape the plot and choose from multiple endings using an app. HBO hasn't offered up any concrete details save a cryptic statement from Soderbergh:

"I believe the good people at HBO are genuinely enthusiastic about Mosaic for two reasons: First, it represents a fresh way of experiencing a story and sharing that experience with others; second, it will require a new Emmy category, and we will be the only eligible nominee."

Mosaic is still largely a mystery, but it sounds a little like TV's first steps toward the kind of interactive narrative developer Remedy is building with Quantum Break, their long-gestating Xbox One game. Quantum Break approaches the concept from a different side of the spectrum — a TV show supporting an interactive component, not the other way around — but both would allow players / viewers to shape the narrative with their decisions.

It's not surprising that Soderbergh is involved with a project like this, either: he's one of the most creative and technically skilled directors working in TV and film. Doing TV work has reinvigorated him in recent years, whether through his 2013 HBO movie Behind the Candelabra or his singular work with Clive Owen on Cinemax's The Knick. There's nothing like Mosaic on TV right now — if it can fulfill its wild ambition, it could lift Soderbergh's impressive career to even greater heights.

Why one Republican congressman says he was "disappointed" by Pope Francis
» ‎ Vox - All

Tags: [edit]

At least one Republican congressman was displeased with Pope Francis's speech to Congress — not for what was in it, but for what was absent.

Pennsylvania Rep. Joe Pitts is among the House's most staunch and active social conservatives, having fought particularly hard to end abortion and prevent same-sex couples from marrying. So even though he knew Pope Francis would please liberals with parts of his address to a joint meeting of Congress Thursday, Pitts said he expected a little more from the pontiff on cultural issues that animate American conservatives.

"I was disappointed that he didn't use his forum to speak on behalf of the unborn and on marriage," Pitts said, acknowledging that the pope did make "very veiled" references to those issues.

Francis did say that "fundamental relationships are being called into question, as is the very basis of marriage and family," and that there is a "responsibility to protect and defend human life at every stage of its development." But Pitts had hoped the pope would emphasize them more while speaking to lawmakers.

Hela samhället är uppbyggt kring köns identitet. Redan från allra första början lär vi oss att mänskligheten består av två kategorier, och att det som avgör vilken vi tillhör är vad vi har mellan benen. Har du snopp är du man, med allt vad det innebär av egenskaper som antas höra ihop med manlighet. Har du snippa är du kvinna, mannens motsats och komplement. Och vi vill så gärna vara det ena eller det andra! Höra till och passa in. Det är ju det enda vi känner till, det ligger så djupt rotat — så vi håller stenhårt i de där rollerna.

Samtidigt säger forskare som försöker lösa gåtan om vad kön egentligen är att det inte alls måste handla om organet. Visst kan du anta att den som har snopp är man, men det är ingen absolut sanning. Det enda sättet att med säkerhet få besked om någon annans könsidentitet är att fråga.

Jag har alltid identifierat mig som kvinna och kom ut som transsexuell när jag var 17 år. Som jag såg det hade jag redan misslyckats i rollen som man, eftersom jag tidigare hade identifierat mig som homosexuell kille, och tänkte verkligen inte låta något gå snett den här gången. Könsrollen kvinna blev helig för mig. Jag blev fixerad vid hur jag pratade, såg ut och rörde mig, och jag minns hur jag en gång såg en extremt sexistisk porrbild av två kvinnor och tänkte: ’Sådär ska jag också se ut.’ Jag hade ju indoktrinerats med samma stereotypa kvinnobilder som alla andra! Visst var jag modig och överskridande som gick igenom en könskorrigering, men jag var ändå fast i föreställningen att det bara finns två kön.

Med tiden blev jag mer och mer osäker. Min gamla identitet som homosexuell man, som varit jätteviktig när jag växte upp, gjorde sig påmind. Vad innebar det? Var jag verkligen kvinna? Om inte, vad var jag då? Det tog mig flera år att inse att jag faktiskt kan ha flera identiteter, att jag inte måste vara antingen eller. Jag kan vara en bögtjej med erfarenheter som jag delar med både homosexuella män och med ciskvinnor, jag måste inte välja eller dra ifrån. Varför inte bara lägga till?

Men i ett samhälle där normen och idealet fortfarande är den vita, cisidentifierade, heterosexuella mannen utan funktionshinder är ett sådant sätt att tänka både känsligt och hotfullt. Vi har ett enormt arbete framför oss, och vi måste bli fler som vågar släppa sargen och synliggöra det som pågår i oss. Då tror jag att det kommer att hända saker. När det gäller människors liv måste vi kosta på oss att vara så komplexa som vi faktiskt är

Fotnot: Cisperson = motsatsen till transperson. en individ vars juridiska, sociala och kulturella kön, könsidentitet, könsuttryck och könsorgan stämmer överens.

De bryter sig loss från normerna
» ‎ Lärarnas Nyheter

Tags: [edit]

Tjejer kan kyssa varandra och killar kan ha klänning – det är temat på ytan. Men att arbeta normbrytande betyder att gå djupare. Och det kan vara svårt, det vet man på Sveriges första hbtq-certifierade skola.
Årskurs 4 på Porsöskolan strax utanför Luleå har livskunskap. Läraren Linda Asplund läser ur Kerstin Lundberg Hahns bok Bakom masken, som handlar om Fredde som till slut vågar vara sig själv.

– Vågar man alltid vara sig själv? frågar Linda Asplund.

– Nej, säger en elev eftertänksamt, man kanske har blivit mobbad i sin förra skola och är rädd för att bli mobbad igen. Så därför är man inte sig själv.

Porsöskolan är en f–6-skola med 200 elever. Under nästan ett år har skolan arbetat för att bli hbtq-certifierad av RFSL (Riksförbundet för homosexuellas, bisexuellas, transpersoners och queeras rättigheter). Nu är man i mål; som första skola i Sverige ska man fira certifieringen om bara några dagar.

Certifieringsprocessen har varit inriktad på personalen, men nu börjar de nya kunskaperna användas i klassrummen.

Mobbning och rädsla är nyckelord under dagens lektion. Linda Asplund plockar upp dem och leder samtalet vidare till frågan om ordet ”bög” och hur det kan användas för att mobba någon.

– Hur tror ni att det känns att bli kallad det?

– Om man blir kallad det och är det, då blir man förolämpad för att någon tycker att det är typ fel.

Så frågar Linda Asplund om ett annat ord som också används som skällsord: pedofil. Eleverna associerar snabbt till olika nyhetsinslag de sett. Linda Asplund säger att det är en allvarlig sak att anklaga någon för att vara pedofil och att av det skälet ska man inte använda ordet som skällsord.

– Samma sak med bög – om det används som skällsord så är det inte lätt för en kille att säga att ”jag kanske tycker om killar”.

Den milsvida skillnaden – att en pedofil är en brottsling medan en bög bejakar kärlek – kommer bort när andra tankar börjar hagla från eleverna: Är det rasistiskt att säga zigenare? Och i Usa hade polisen skjutit en mörkhyad och då blev alla mörkhyade jättesura …

Linda Asplund leder samtalet tillbaka till boken: Vilket var huvudbudskapet?

– Man ska inte ta cyklar?

– Eller man ska inte ljuga?

– Ja, säger Linda Asplund, eller att om man har ljugit så ska man våga tala om det. Och man ska alltid våga vara sig själv.

Det var för två år sedan, när Porsöskolans rektor Annika Häggstål var ny på jobbet, som hon insåg att både förskolan och vårdcentralen i närheten var hbtq-certifierade. Samtidigt ifrågasatte några föräldrar att pojkar och flickor på lågstadiet skulle hänga av sig sina ytterkläder i separata hallar.

– Sedan den nya läroplanen kom har vi haft stort fokus på kunskap. Vi har lite tappat bort värderings- frågorna. Jag insåg att vi behövde jobba normkritiskt, säger Annika Häggstål.

Kommunen sköt till pengar för en hbtq-certifiering – 100 000 kronor för 35 anställda, inklusive köks- och elevhälsopersonal.

Under läsåret har RFSL:s utbildare hållit fyra utbildningsdagar (en hel och tre halva) med alla medarbetare. Parallellt har en projektgrupp med lärare, fritidspedagoger och annan personal på skolan arbetat med fördjupning, bland annat genom så kallade normspaningar – de har kritiskt granskat lokaler, böcker och skolans kommunikation.

Arbetet har lett till förändringar: Man har infört könsneutrala toaletter och tagit bort könsstereotypa bilder, affischer och tidningar både från klassrum och från fritids.

Man har granskat böcker med ett normkritiskt öga. Att byta ut fördomsfulla böcker hade blivit för dyrt, men man har identifierat problem för att diskutera dem med eleverna – varför är till exempel alla uppfinnare i en bok män?

I brev och blanketter till elevernas hem har man bytt ut orden mamma och pappa mot vårdnadshavare och i en trygghetsenkät till eleverna har man ändrat frågan ”kan du arbeta med både tjejer och killar?” till ”kan du arbeta med alla?”

Vilken är den största vinsten? Att alla på skolan har fått en gemensam plattform, säger Annika Häggstål.

– Det gör att vi kan ifrågasätta varandras handlande, för vi vet att alla i grunden är med.

Fritidspedagogen Anna Pohjanens blick har vidgats under processen.

– Jag ser mycket tydligare nu när barn utmanar föreställningar, som en kille som har rosa tröja. Då kan jag säga att den är fin. Och man får upp ögonen inte bara när det gäller hbtq. Vilka hamnar vid sidan av, är det pojkar eller flickor, de yngre eller de med invandrarbakgrund?

Certifieringsprocessen har också gett personliga insikter, berättar Linda Asplund.

– Jag hade aldrig tänkt mig att det finns personer som känner sig könlösa.

Och det nya perspektivet verkar ge utslag hos eleverna; några har till exempel uttryckt att de ”känner sig som en hen”.

Porsöskolan är den första hbtq-certifierade skolan i Sverige, men det finns redan ett antal förskolor som har fått sin certifiering. Och Porsöskolans erfarenhet är att det är viktigt att börja tidigt, så att de yngre barnens fördomsfrihet inte saboteras av vuxenvärldens stereotypa normer.

– Men man kan vänta med begreppen, som queer och trans, till mellanstadiet, säger Annika Häggstål.

Begreppen är svåra och frågorna komplexa, åtminstone för en cisperson, alltså en vars könsidentitet sammanfaller med ens biologiska kön. Och nya begrepp tillkommer – q som i queer har till exempel lagts till certifieringen under resans gång.

– Det var en hel del som vi hade svårt att förstå, till exempel queerbegreppet. Vi ifrågasatte det inte, men vi frågade för att vi inte förstod, säger Annika Häggstål.

Har hbtq-perspektivet mött motstånd? Nej, faktiskt inte, säger Annika Häggstål. Personal, elever och föräldrar är alla positiva – föräldrarna ännu mer sedan de har fått delta i en workshop där de gick in i rollen som till exempel nyanländ invandrare, funktionshindrad eller lesbisk.

Det har redan varit föräldrar som har valt Porsöskolan på grund av certifieringen och Annika Häggstål kommer att använda certifikatet i platsannonser för att locka lärare.

Och nu, i skarpt läge – är det inte svårt att hamna rätt när elevernas reflektioner kring ord som bög och pedofil haglar?

– Jo, säger Linda Asplund, men ju mer de frågar, desto mer lär de sig – och jag också. Det här är ju inget man tar upp bara en gång och sen är det klart. Man plockar in det igen och igen.

Örebro tog fjärde raka segern – men för HIF blir krisen allt djupare
» ‎ FotbollDirekt

Tags: [edit]

I kväll tog Örebro fjärde raka segern i Allsvenskan efter 2-0 borta mot Helsingborg och laget är nu fyra poäng över kvalstrecket.
– I den andra halvleken kontrollerar vi matchen och det var fantastiskt att hålla nollan, säger Örebros målvakt Jacob Rinne till C More.

I måndags vann Örebro komfortabelt hemma mot topplaget Elfsborg med 4-2 och i kväll fortsatte man på den inslagna vägen genom att vinna nere i Helsingborg med 2-0.

Släkten är värst brukar det heta och visst stämde det allt när Astrit Ajdarevic, som lämnade Helsingborg för i Örebro i somras, spelade fram Pär Ericsson till dennes 1-0-mål i den 70:e minuten. Med fem minuter kvar att spela punkterade Daniel Nordmark, som kom till Örebro från just Helsingborg 2014, matchen med sitt 2-0-mål och nu ser Örebro ut att klara det allsvenska kontraktet.

Helsingborg å andra sidan har det tungt just nu, detta var lagets femte raka förlust i serien.
– Vad ska man säga? Vi förlorar mot ett Örebro som jag tycker att vi ska slå. Men det gör vi inte, såklart är det väldigt tungt, säger försvararen Andreas Landgren till Helsingborgs Dagblad.

Även tränaren Henrik Larsson var såklart besviken efter matchen:
– Det kommer börja blåsa och det kommer börja storma. Det är inga som helst bekymmer, det måste vi kunna hantera när vi spelar för en klubb som HIF. Folk förväntar sig mer än vad vi mäktade med idag, sa han på presskonferensen efter matchen.
