'War room' type effort places firefighting assets

(AP) ? From sites on the fringes of wildfires burning around the West, incident commanders spend nearly every waking hour huddled around maps, looking at computer screens or glued to the radio, trying to plot their next move.

Their decisions come after pouring over intelligence that's flooding in from crew leaders, weather forecasters and fuels analysts.

Elsewhere, teams of specialists smooth out the logistics of shuffling firefighters and equipment around the country.

Tom Harbour is the director of fire and aviation management for the U.S. Forest Service.

He says that the characterization that fire is war is probably a fitting one.

But he expresses cautious confidence that the Forest Service has adequate resources to do the job.

The Importance Of Architecture And Interior Design For Retail ...

4:00 AM By Article Directory

'; div.innerHTML = summary; } //]]> The Importance Of Architecture And Interior Design For Retail Businesses The Importance Of Architecture And Interior Design For Retail Businesses

Opening and running a retail business is more complicated than just buying or renting a space and opening for business. There is competition and the whim of the public to consider. there is also the proper display of merchandise and the safety of the shoppers who come. well designed businesses attract more customers and sell more of their goods. they also stay in business longer and make better profits. Taking the time and making the investment in a good architect or Interior designer is just good business.

Some things that must be considered in planning a retail business are location, store front design, traffic flow inside the business, customer safety, color scheme, ambiance, decor style, ease of maintenance and customer convenience. Location of different departments and display cases can make a big difference in the success or failure of a business. A professional store designer can put together floor plans that will work for each kind of business that take s afety and traffic flow into consideration. Most businesses have one chance to impress the buying public. Waste that chance with bad ambiance or poor store design and the business will fail.

The first consideration, after location choice, is matching the design and decor to the product to be sold. A gourmet restaurant needs a different decor than a coffee shop or fast food place. A sea food restaurant needs different decor than an Irish pub and so on. The decor needs to match the product sold to be most effective. Most customers will be expecting certain decor for the product they are shopping for. An intimate apparel and lingerie shop will have a more feminine feel than a men's sportswear shop. An Interior Designer or an architect specializing in retail design can suggest decor and merchandise arrangement that will help customers shop with ease and purchase more.

Once the business has a design that matches the merchandise, it is important to pick a decor theme wi thin that design. This theme can be ultra contemporary, European, glam or traditional and everything in between. this theme can be in different colors. It is important to pick a color scheme that is pleasing to customers and encourages them to buy. There are studies that show certain colors in restaurants work better than others to encourage customers to eat and drink more. The colors of walls, flooring and store furnishings should all go pleasantly together making customers comfortable and in a mood to buy more.

All the decor items in a business should be easy to maintain and safe for clientele. flooring choices should be considered with safety in mind. No one wants customers slipping and hurting themselves on a too shinny flooring. The floor plans should group related items together for customer convenience. Check out lanes should be conveniently located and manned. A well designed and implemented store will sell more merchandise.

Teralink | Surprising Predictions for the Future of Media and ...

In my previous blog entry, I talked about broadcasters and content providers discovering new telecom solutions to deliver their product to as many consumers as possible. Now, I want to tell you about another innovation taking hold in Europe and predictions for the future of the technology, media, and telecommunications industries. My colleagues at TERALINK and I uncovered all this information during a workshop we recently held for key players in TV.

I discussed previously how over-the-top (OTT) content is actually something telcos can embrace. Thierry Abraham, Chief Technology Officer for FTA Communication Technologies, said that along with Over-The-Top services, media companies will also need to shift to Hybrid Broadband TV (HbbTV). HbbTV aims to combine and synchronize broadcast TV reception with broadband internet services through Smart TVs and set-top boxes.

In the workshop presentation, Thierry said HbbTV is being deployed more and more in Europe and is also pushed by DVB standardization body. Afterwards, he said that the ultimate goal for TV broadcasters is to aggregate more content to catch more viewers attention. They will need to take advantage of HbbTV and OTT services to offer additional services in order to enrich their programs. That?s why those in media will need to embrace telecom solutions. Thierry said, ?Telcos are key players in the interactive TV value chain, they will be more and more?requested to enrich the live TV content.?

Several Deloitte Luxembourg professionals agree that the technology surrounding TV goes to reinforce and strengthen the content. Joanna Denton, Director in the Indirect Taxes Department at the professional services firm, presented its technology, media, and telecommunications predictions for 2012. In fact, the three industries used to each get their own predictions report, but over the last two years, they have become so intertwined that Deloitte now publishes them all in one report.

The results of the predictions estimate that this year, 95% of TV programming will be viewed live or within one day. That?s because TV is still very much a part of the national conversation, and no one wants to be late to the party. What does this mean for broadcasters? They can capitalize on counter-programming and demonstrate the benefits of a set schedule to advertisers.

Another prediction: an increased demand for consumer technology this year, despite economic difficulties. Consumers may be willing to sacrifice vacations to buy a new TV or tablet. That?s because they?re trying to get the most out of their money. They see consumer electronics as great value for the money.

The key theme we learned at the workshop is that all the key players, whether they?re broadcasters, content producers, device manufacturers, or telcos, will need to cooperate and trust one another to further their goals. Rather than competing against each other, we can all work together for the latest solutions.

If you can answer yes to one or all of these questions, why not think about watching the Kentucky Derby live and in person as a part of your next vacation?

Several businesses offer horse racing packages, and some specialize in the Kentucky Derby. Premiere Sports Travel offers packages for the Kentucky Derby, the Preakness, Belmont Stakes, Travers Stakes, and the Breeders Cup.

Bench Warmer Sports also offers premier event experiences including the Belmont Stakes in June 2012 and Breeders Cup Championship in November 2012.

Derby Deals offers both Kentucky Derby tickets and Kentucky Derby packages. Tickets for the 2013 Kentucky Derby range from $68.00 USD to $7012.50 USD. The first three levels of tickets (Derby Infield, Kentucky Derby Parking, and Taste of Derby) are for one ticket, while the other levels are for 2 tickets.

The Hilton Lexington/Downtown hotel has a package called the Lexington race track package which includes a deluxe king or queen room, a complimentary breakfast for two, free Wi-Fi in the business center, and a complimentary Keeneland racing brochure/schedule. Keeneland is a combination racetrack and Bloodstock sales company located in Lexington, Kentucky. Another noteworthy facet of Keeneland is their large library relative to the sport of horse racing.

Home Improvement For Lawn And Swimming Pools

There are home improvements that aren?t as common as others. You can find information on the most complex projects, so you?re only limited by your imagination. Any contractor will be happy to take your money. Doing it yourself or with your friends? help is part of the fun.

When it comes to landscaping, you can hire a professional to do it or just learn to do it yourself. The motivation level may not be there you find yourself wanting someone else to get your landscaping done. Choosing to landscape your own yard and do home improvement on your own is a personal choice. The type of bushes, plants, trees, and other growth that you have may play a role in your decision making. No matter what you have on your property, educating yourself on how to landscape is always a great idea. For instance, if you have some shrubbery, you want to know how to properly trim and maintain it. Creating a plan of action for what you need to do each and every week will help you keep up with your landscaping.

Another fun home improvement project you should consider is installing an aquarium that is recessed in the wall. If you have never seen this, then they can look truly beautiful when they are done just right. This really isn?t even that difficult. But because you?ll need space behind the wall, the spot you choose is important. Some people leave a small space behind the tank for easy access. You will need to consider the lighting with this project as well. If you are running a saltwater reef tank, then again there will be extra thought needed for the special lighting for reefs.

Hiring a professional to add plastic siding to the exterior of your home is a good idea, unless you feel totally comfortable doing it by yourself. If you are the kind of person who does things themselves, we need to warn you to be careful when working high up. And remember to be safe with the ladder as well. It?s crucial that you don?t nail in the plastic siding too hard. Try to avoid pushing the nails so far that they start to pinch the siding. If this does occur, your home will look very odd when standing close to it.

It is a known fact that the kitchen, as well as the bathroom, are popular candidates when remodeling takes place. The top room for real estate agents to use when closing a sale is the kitchen so you might want to remodel yours if you are thinking of selling.

Roy Nelson challenges Mike Russow to a win or leave (the heavyweight division) bout

In a heavyweight division of the UFC filled with fighters are who built like a Greek god, Roy Nelson and Mike Russow don't exactly fit the mold.? After watching Fabricio Werdum knock out Russow at UFC 147, Nelson was struck with matchmaking inspiration.

"I want Mike Russow and loser goes to 205 or becomes Dana White Rich. Let make it happen @danawhite," Nelson tweeted.

Both men appear to carry more body fat than most of their counterparts and look like they could cut down a weight class. They also both have recent losses to Werdum, as Nelson dropped a decision to him in February.

This isn't the first time Nelson has contemplated a drop down. In March, he said he would try to get to light heavyweight if he added 100,000 Facebook likes. However, he abandoned the plan when he was booked for the all-heavyweight main card at UFC 146.

A drop for Russow, who weighed in at 246 lbs. for UFC 147, may be a bit more difficult than for Nelson. In addition to being a pro fighter, he is a full-time officer in the Chicago Police Department. He doesn't train full-time, like Nelson does.

Of course, the difficulty in dropping down would also give Russow more motivation to win the fight. Do you want to see this fight? Speak your mind in the comments, on Facebook or on Twitter.

Michael Hughes Death Sentence: 'Southside Slayer' Gets Is Sentenced To Death For 3 Murders

LOS ANGELES -- A convicted serial killer was given a death sentence Friday for strangling a 15-year-old girl and two women in the Los Angeles "Southside Slayer" attacks of the 1980s and 1990s, according to prosecutors.

Michael Hughes, 55, was convicted last November of killing his victims after DNA evidence tied him to murders authorities say were committed for sexual gratification.

Hughes was convicted of killing 15-year-old Yvonne Coleman, 36-year-old Verna Williams and 32-year-old Deborah Jackson between 1986 and 1993. Williams and Jackson were prostitutes.

His victims were strangled and some of their nude bodies were posed for discovery with their legs spread in order to shock whoever found them, prosecutors said.

Hughes already is serving a life sentence for killing four other women.

He was convicted in the 1992 murders of Theresa Ballard, 27, and Brenda Bradley, 37, who was the niece of the former mayor; and the 1993 killings of Terri Myles, 33, and Jamie Harrington.

Hughes, a former security guard, was investigated by a task force looking into the killings of dozens of women in the 1980s and 1990s by the so-called "Southside Slayer."

Police later concluded at least three serial killers, including Hughes, were stalking women during a crack cocaine epidemic that led some women onto the streets as prostitutes in order to support their habits.

Pizza deliveryman Chester Turner was convicted in 2007 and sentenced to death for killing 10 women, one of them pregnant, in the 1980s and `90s. He has been charged with four additional killings and ordered to stand trial.

Investigators also arrested Lonnie Franklin Jr., a South Los Angeles mechanic, last year as part of the "Grim Sleeper" slayings. He has pleaded not guilty to 10 counts of murder and one attempted murder charge.

Prosecutors suspect Franklin shot or strangled 10 women and girls between 1985 and 2007, dumping their bodies in alleys near his home.

Chinese Astronauts Accomplish First Manual Docking

Chinese astronauts in the?Shenzhou 9 spacecraft?successfully made their first manual docking with space station Tiangong-1 on Sunday at around 04:00 GMT. Previously, China had accomplished only automated docking.

Shenzhou 9 is a manned spacecraft launched on 16 June 2012.?It is carrying three astronauts: Jing Haipeng, Liu Wang and China's first woman astronaut?Liu Yang.?The astronauts' team is led by Jing Haipeng, 46, who has already visited the Tiangong 1 space lab in 2008.

Chinese scientists claim that the first automatic docking with the Tiangong-1 took place on 18 June.

Chinese national television broadcast images of Jing Haipeng, Liu Wang and Liu Yang, smiling after completing the exercise, according to a?BBC?report.

The astronauts are reportedly celebrating the success of their mission with some Chinese delicacy. ?

Just half hour before the spacecraft could dock with the Tiangong-1, Shenzhou-9 parted from the Tiangong-1 to a berth point 400 metres away from the space lab. To leave room for adjustment, astronomers set up three berth points for the spaceship on the same orbit, according to?Xinhuanet, a Chinese news journal.

The first berth was 400 metres away from the space lab; the second berth point was 140 metres away and the third berth point 30 metres and finally the dock with the space lab.

Chinese scientists say it is a great achievement for China because manual docking technique is hard to master as it involves two vessels - placed in the same orbit and revolving around earth at thousands of kilometres (miles) per hour - coming together very gently to avoid destroying each other, according to AFP.

It is a very important mission, as it requires a lot of skills and techniques to manually dock with the space station. The world's first docking of two spacecraft was accomplished on 16 March, 1966, when?Gemini 8 rendezvoused and docked with an unmanned?Agena Target Vehicle.

"Compared with automatic docking, manual docking is more challenging in terms of orbit control," AFP quoted Xie Jianfeng, a scientist at the Beijing Aerospace Control Centre, as saying.

Apart from the manual docking, China has taken another major step by sending the first Chinese woman into space.

Now, scientists believe that China has completely grasped space rendezvous and docking technologies and the country is fully capable of transporting humans and cargo to an orbiter in space, which is essential for building a space station in 2020, according to Xinhuanet.

Google's Turing doodle celebrates his genius, reminds us how dumb we are

This week sees many corners of the globe celebrating the 100th anniversary of the birth of Alan Turing. A man whose contribution to the worlds of tech and gadgets is immeasurable -- a sentiment not lost on Google. Today, geeks and norms worldwide will be waking up to possibly the most complex doodle to date. Can you set the machine and spell out "Google"? If you can, you'll be sent off to lots more information about the man himself. This isn't the only thing Mountain View's done to keep his legacy alive, having previously helped Bletchley Park raise funds to purchase (and display) Turing's papers, and more recently helping curators at London's Science Museum with its Codebreaker - Alan Turing's Life and Legacy exhibition. If you haven't already, head to Google.com and pop your logic hat on, and if you get stuck, head past the break for a helpful video.

How networking can help your career and your business | WiseWolf ...

Most us have now heard the message that networking is important. You will probably have been told that you need to do it when you are looking for a job or if you starting a new business. ?But networking can do much more for you than that.

Yes, networking is very important indeed if you are looking for work.

Yes, getting in touch with people you have met in the past, explaining what you have to offer and asking for their help, can bring new opportunities. Your contacts can offer advice about their experiences of job search, the sector they work in and they can introduce you to others so that your network expands. But remember networking is a two way conversation and if you want to receive, you must be prepared to give. You can be an attentive audience and listen with interest and attention to what they have to say. You can share your own knowledge of your own sector and your contacts in return. Make it an on-going conversation and you can turn them into ambassadors who will talk about you and connect you with new possibilities.

Networking is very helpful as well when you are in work ? it can provide an important boost to your career prospects.

You need to be visible in your organization for the widest range of promotion prospects to come your way. It is great that your immediate boss knows how good you are at your job and how far you want to go, but what about their boss? And what about influential people in other parts of the organization, will they think of you when they have a senior role to fill? If you know how to network well, you can use your networking skills to help raise your profile. If you are very lucky, getting to know senior people will help to find the right mentor for you.

Networking within the organization, will help to keep you informed about opportunities but also potential threats. You want to be one of the first people to know about up and coming changes and what they might mean for you.

Networking outside the organisation, for example, at event run by professional organizations, can help to keep you up to date with developments including market changes or new legislation. You will learn about new trends and what that might mean for your own personal development plans. If you are a senior manager, networking outside the organization could help you to find the right recruit for that vacancy you know is on the horizon.

If you run a business. networking will help you maintain relationships with existing customers and help you find new ones. You can build you own word of mouth publicity and, when you have established a relationship with new contacts,you can ask for referrals. You will learn as well about market trends, potential legal changes and perhaps new opportunities for partnership, Again you can create ambassadors who talk to others about you and connect you with the right prospects.

Lots of business networking organizations exist ? some free and some very expensive to join. They exist because generation after generation of business people have found that networking is a valuable way to support and expand their businesses.

Fewer US CEOs plan to hire, boost spending

Spencer Green)

(AP) ? A survey of chief executives shows fewer large U.S. companies plan to hire or boost spending in the next six months, reflecting a weaker U.S. economy.

The Business Roundtable says 36 percent of its CEO members plan to add workers over the next six months. That's down from 42 percent when the survey was last taken three months ago.

Jim McNerney, the group's chairman and CEO of The Boeing Co., blamed the dip in sentiment on "concern over increasingly persistent obstacles to a stronger recovery." Those include uncertainty over potential U.S. tax increases and spending cuts early next year and Europe's financial crisis.

Only 43 percent say they plan to step up spending on machinery, computers and other large goods, down from 48 percent. Most CEOs still expect sales to increase in the next six months.

Overall, the CEO Outlook survey index fell to 89.1 in the second quarter, down from 96.9 in the first three months of the year. Any reading above 50 indicates growth.

The gloomier outlook follows a sharp pullback in hiring over the past two months, which has raised concerns that the economy is slumping after a fast start. Job growth averaged only 73,000 in April and May, after average gains of 226,000 per month in the first three months of the year. The unemployment rate rose to 8.2 percent in May from 8.1 percent.

McNerney said that companies are delaying hiring, and even laying off workers, in anticipation of what many economists call the "fiscal cliff" that looms at the end of this year. Several large tax cuts are scheduled to expire and big spending cuts, including in defense, are set to take effect Jan. 1.

While President Barack Obama and lawmakers say they will delay the onset of the changes, McNerney said companies can't be sure. Last year, Congress and the White House agreed only at the last minute to raise the government's borrowing limit and stave off a possible default.

"We have yet to regain faith that the process will deal with it," McNerney said.

As a result, "we don't know how corporations, or individuals, or capital will be taxed," he said. "That is having an impact on the results you see here."

Boeing and many other aerospace companies with government contracts are holding back on hiring and are cutting jobs in anticipation of the spending cuts, he added.

The Business Roundtable represents the CEOs of the 200 largest U.S. corporations. The survey is based on 164 responses received between May 17 and June 8.

AP Source: Harvin requests trade from Vikings

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. (AP) ? Star receiver Percy Harvin wants out of Minnesota.

One day after Harvin expressed frustration over several unspecified issues with the Vikings, a person with knowledge of the situation told The Associated Press on Wednesday that Harvin had requested a trade. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the issue.

Harvin voiced frustration with the Vikings on Tuesday at the first day of mandatory minicamp. He did not say what his specific issues were with the team, only saying that he was unhappy with several things and wanted them addressed before training camp begins at the end of July.

"I just put it this way: There's a lot of different things that have to be sorted out," Harvin said Tuesday. "Just haven't been really happy lately. We've got a couple of things to work on. I'm here in the classroom. We'll go from there."

Harvin attended the team's morning practice Wednesday, leaving the field before reporters could ask any questions. Running back Adrian Peterson said he hadn't spoken to his friend about it but planned to have a conversation to try to help smooth things over.

"I wouldn't say it's distracting. It's more bothering. It's like, we definitely don't want to lose this guy. ... I'm sure the organization will do what it has to do to keep this guy around," Peterson said. "If it was me, I would make sure that we kept him around. But we'll see."

Given Harvin's status as a 24-year-old rising star and one of the team's top players, the request is unlikely to be granted. Coach Leslie Frazier said Tuesday that he was confident any issues Harvin had could be resolved well before training camp.

"I really feel like when he and I sit down and talk in depth," Frazier said, "whatever is in his heart or on his mind, we'll get through it."

Harvin, who is still recovering from offseason shoulder surgery, worked out with the team during an afternoon practice Tuesday and said later in the day that he did not want to be a distraction and only wanted to talk about football issues.

He has two years left on his rookie contract, but it was not immediately clear how much that had to do with his displeasure, if at all. The Vikings are coming off of consecutive last-place finishes in the NFC North and have entered a rebuilding phase centered on Harvin, Peterson, who is recovering from a torn ACL, and second-year quarterback Christian Ponder.

Harvin was the team's first-round draft pick in 2009 and has quickly emerged as the Vikings' most versatile and dynamic player. He is the team's only proven commodity at receiver heading into his fourth season and is coming off a year in which he posted career highs in receptions (87), yards (967) and total touchdowns (9).

Harvin has shown the ability to play in the slot as an inside receiver and on the perimeter as a deep threat and has become one of the most dangerous kick returners in the league. He also rushed for 345 yards last season, helping to spell Peterson in the run game.

Migraine headaches and a few other bumps and bruises from Harvin's physical and punishing style of play led to some concerns about his durability, especially in his first two seasons. But Harvin played in all 16 games last year while fighting a painful rib injury and became a respected veteran in the locker room.

Requesting a trade now would be a curious move if he does want a new contract, with the normal protocol for similar situations being to hold out from training camp to spur negotiations.

Earlier this offseason, Harvin pledged to be a team leader and showed up at several voluntary practices despite still recovering from having bone chips removed from his shoulder. With a receiver group that includes rookie fourth-rounders Greg Childs and Jarius Wright and unproven veteran Jerome Simpson, who will be suspended for the first three games, Harvin is the only established game-breaker at the position for the Vikings.

"I'm going to be honest with you guys. I've been watching tape, but it's just working on things from last year," Harvin said when asked about the offense. "I'm into it, but like I said, I'm not happy with things, so I haven't really been in tune to (personnel) and stuff right now.

"Overall, just watching game film and breaking down quarterbacks, breaking down myself, defenses I may face that I faced last year, things like that."

His role in the offense could be an issue. Despite being used in a variety of roles last season, Harvin often found himself on the sideline in the red zone. The Vikings could be using more two tight end formations this year with the addition of pass-catching tight end John Carlson to go along with Kyle Rudolph.

Offensive coordinator Bill Musgrave said he wasn't aware of any issues Harvin had with the offense and pledged to use him even more this season.

"We're looking forward to getting him on the field and as an offense we're looking forward to having a better year," Musgrave said. "That's the bottom line."

Unity 4.0 game engine adds Linux support, Mecanim animation, Flash and DirectX 11 (video)

unity-4-0-game-engine-adds-linux-support-mecanim

Unity is about to give a jolt to the Linux gaming community with version 4.0 of its engine. The Penguin has been "underserved," according to the game engine company, so it'll now join the list of supported operating systems alongside Windows, OS X, iOS, Android, Xbox, PS3 and Wii. Developers will also get the new Mecanim system for making character animation easier, on top of DirectX 11 for Windows and Flash publishing options. Details are in the video after the break, but it's good news considering how Linux's namesake just decried the lack of love for the platform.

Belief In Hell Predicts a Country's Crime Rates Better Than Other Factors

An anonymous reader writes "Religion is often thought of as psychological defense against bad behavior, but researchers have recently found that the effect of religion on pro-social behaviors may actually be driven by the belief in hell and supernatural punishment rather than faith in heaven and spiritual benevolence. In a large analysis of 26 years of data consisting of 143,197 people in 67 countries, psychologists found significantly lower crime rates in societies where many people believe in hell compared to those where more people believed in heaven."
