The Cincinnati Bengals defensive tackle posted a video on Instagram of his daughter's big supermodel moment. "She was definitely feeling herself with that spin move #NewYorkFashionWeek #LeahStrong #KidsRock," he wrote.
Leah then made a second appearance on the runway, rocking a sporty Nike top, pink pants and a pair of sunglasses.
The 26-year-old father gushed about how proud he was of his daughter on Instagram. "Thanks @kidsrocklive for giving Leah another opportunity to be a part of your amazing show!" he wrote."This fashion show teaches her so much more than just how to be a model which is why I love when she does it. Leah sometimes struggles with the physical changes she went through from her cancer battle (hair and weight loss)."
"But when I watch her walk down the runway and I see that smile on her face as she is cheered on by the crowd I see a confident side of her that's thinking nothing of those changes," he added. "Teaching her to embrace who she is will stick with her for life! When she got backstage after she walked she told people 'I was walking so hard and they loved it.' #LeahStrong #LeahInLevis #LeahInNike."
Cue the aws! With his heartwarming words, it sounds like Devon is super supportive of Leah's future career as a runway model.
Leah isn't a stranger to fashion shows, as she made her runway debut in February's Kids Rock! show.
NFL stars were well represented at this latest Kids Rock! event. Each year, the show benefits a charity, and this time around, they chose the Victor Cruz Foundation. Created by the New York Giants running back in 2012, the foundation offers support for youth to achieve success in the workforce and life.
Other celebrity children who participated in the show included Victor's daughter, Kennedy; Melissa Joan Hart's sons, Mason and Braydon; rapper Fabolous' son, Johan Jackson; and reality star Melissa Gorga's children, Antonia and Joey Gorga.
Stars like Devon have been bringing awareness to cancer by sharing their personal stories. Watch the video below to hear some of those battles that were shared in last year's Stand Up To Cancer telethon.
After the message is received, in the code above, the logic instantiates the standard AxisEngine, passes the deploy-shipping.wsdd to it, and invokes the MessageProcessor. Again, the name and location of the hard-coded deploy-shipping.wsdd file should be externalized to allow changes without code recompilation and redeployment.
The MessageProcessor works with a single SOAP request. It uses the AxisEngine to invoke the appropriate service operation. The beauty of this approach is that it reuses the AxisEngine that handles the SOAP messages without knowing how they were delivered. It's transport-independent.
The SOAP response is sent back to the JMS destination provided by the JMSSender from the consumer side.
For simplicity's sake, we don't show any reasonable exception handlers or provide the code available in JMSUtil that contains the standard Java to-send JMS message to the specified destination.
The Axis Server Engine is provided by Axis. As we mentioned, it has no knowledge of how the SOAP message was delivered. It just takes it and processes it, which will actually result in an invocation of the actual GetDistance operation of our ShippingService.
So how does AxisEngine find the ShippingService? Well, the deploy-shipping.wsdd provided to the AxisEngine is a standard Axis deployment descriptor. It describes handlers, services, operations, mappings, classes, and everything that Axis needs to find and invoke the operation as a regular Java method.
We write the shipping service. It contains the actual business logic of the exposed service operations.
As a regular Axis Web Service, the shipping Web Service requires the deploy-shipping.wsdd that we use to deploy the service under Axis. To learn more about how to write WSDD files, see the Apache Axis documentation.
The only component that we've added to handle SOAP messages is the JMSReceiver. It's plugged into the architecture to handle messages delivered through JMS. The rest of the components are exactly the same since they expose standard SOAP over HTTP services. That's why this architecture can handle requests delivered by both JMS and HTTP at the same time. Besides these two, by implementing appropriate receivers, the service provider can be extended to handle messages delivered by any transport.
Most clinicians and IT managers want to keep the NHS's £12.7bn National Programme for IT [NPfIT], according to a survey published today, at the start of the Conservative Party conference.
The Tories want a major reform of the NPfIT. But the survey by Doctors.net.uk and E-Health Insider also shows that a large majority of the 1,566 clinicians and IT managers are against letting private firms, including Google and Microsoft, managing NHS patient patients.
We said that building a wireless network isn’t for wimps. It doesn’t just take billions of dollars; it takes guts to go out and fight like hell to create a big, profitable business out of cheap spectrum and new network technology. Fortunately Clearwire, (s clwr) with backing from its Chairman, Craig McCaw, has the pedigree of a wireless winner and is now taking the hard steps to make sure it translates its bets on unpopular spectrum and a non-standard mobile broadband technology into a win for its backers.
Yesterday, Clearwire said in order to conserve its cash, it would cut 15 percent of its workforce, delay the launch of some handsets, and stop prepping new markets outside of those needed to hit its original launch goals. It expects those steps to save it $100 million to $200 million this year and a similar amount during the first half of 2011. Many analysts have long been convinced that the operator, which has raised billions in equity and through a public offering, is still under-capitalized.
As I said earlier this year, Clearwire has some $2 billion in debt and payment obligations coming due next year, up from $586 million in 2010, so it’s almost time to pay the piper. We’ve been hearing about Clearwire’s attempts to raise more money either through more investment from Sprint (s S) and its cable partners, or from the sale of spectrum, but so far, there’s nothing to put in the bank.
Clearwire needs money to survive and Sprint wants them to do certain things like shut down retail and invest more capital in existing markets in order to get that money. Clearwire does not want to do some of those things because it would make them more beholden to Sprint and reduce the value to public shareholders. Sprint could end this debate by taking control of the company through the approval of all Clearwire?s strategic partners which would probably involve the purchase of the public stock and Eagle River?s stake. So basically we have a high stakes negotiation and we are waiting to see who blinks first. Meanwhile 600 employees got fired while the management teams of both companies flex their muscles.
Given that Clearwire has been trying to push its spectrum for months in the midst of huge publicity about the shortage of spectrum, what does its failure to entice a buyer say about Clearwire’s spectrum specifically and the spectrum shortage in general? If the industry was really freaked out that by 2013 the airwaves will be so clogged with data they won’t be able to meet demand, wouldn’t the giant swaths of spectrum (up to 100 MHz in some cities) held by Clearwire look pretty enticing, even if it isn’t paired and is in a higher band that would require more towers? After all, if you’re worried about a famine, you don’t turn up your nose at rice simply because you wanted bread.
So while Clearwire hunkers down and continues playing the wireless game, its hunt for cash is raising some interesting questions for the industry at large.
I saw that wimax.com is for sale on sedo.. what next for the wimax industry.
I have been using Clearwire for nearly 2 years in Corpus Christi, running 3 computers in my office it puts my home Roadrunner to shame with just 1 connection. Clearwire has been a life-safer for my business. We are located in an 25 year old business part with no cable service and an old phone line that will not support DSL. Now we have added 3 EVO phones… very happy with clear.
What all of you forget is that without suficient spectrum holdings there will be limits to capacity. This is were Clearwire/Sprint shine among their competitors.
On anther note Wimax will soon be upgraded to Wimax 2 (IEEE 802.16m), which is mainly a software upgrade costing very little in time and money. This will ensconce Clearwire and Sprint from the competition. Wimax 2 is expected to get a stamp of approval from the ITU for meeting all the 4G requirements, an all IP network using OFDM with minimum download speeds in excess of 100 mbps. It will also be commercially available for deployment in 2011.
In conclusion, Sprint and Clearwire are poised to do well as more and more consumers demand more content at higher speeds. This is where capacity becomes vital and those with sufficient spectrum trump those with spectral deficiencies.
4G may not make the difference people think. the city i live in has not yet launched. yet both the evo and the epic 4G are very popular with the owners raving about how incredibly fast they are. they do not have the slightest clue that they are actually using 3G EVDO.
the big boys may actually prefer less spectrum as an excuse for higher pricing.
Wondering what they are thinking? T-Mobile already has a bigger coverage area with their HSPA+ network, and it offers faster speeds than Clearwire. Verizon is going to launch their LTE network, which will be without many coverage gaps like Clearwire currently has. Most of Clearwire’s network is full of holes, and its footprint in major cities is not good. I can hear the bad reviews coming real fast. T-Mobile is just as cheap, and Verizon may cost more but it will be solid. I would not expect subscriber numbers to rise quickly, and I will bet that churn will be very high in most of the new cities they are launching.
I disagree with “Sprint needs Clearwire more than Clearwire needs Sprint.” Sprint has an existing 3G network that they can fall back on while they built a 4G overlay (which they did in the beginning before partnering with Clearwire). It wouldnt be a good business approach for Sprint to do that now given how much they have invested in Clearwire already. If Clwr does go belly up, wouldn’t it be a good time for S to buy them out for dirt cheap prices?
I think Sprint has to do a 4G overlay network no matter what. The Clearwire WiMAX network was just delaying Sprint’s decision/need to build that overlay network. If Clearwire fails(or stops deploying), a Sprint overlay network would be that much more urgent.
The amount of spectrum that Clearwire has is a strategic advantage. If they do build out the network nationwide, Clearwire will be the only network, IMHO, ready for the flood of Gigabyte phones coming in the coming years.
Sprint can’t afford to start over on a 4G network, but seems to be committed (and/or stuck) finishing what Clearwire has started.
I remember when Clearwire first launched and everyone was asking telecom infrastructure giant Ericsson, who was developing HSPA (3G) and LTE (4G), if it would also develop infrastructure for WiMAX. Their answer was telling, “We don’t see a business case for WiMAX.” I believe this was at CTIA Wireless in 2008. While this response was met with skepticism, it’s since proven prophetic.
For Sprint this is a similar situation as the Sprint PCS affiliates. That situation ended with the forced and expensive buyout of the affiliates after the Nextel merger.
Trying to partner up and have another entity build out a network for you looks good to the accountants, but it means you lose control of your destiny and sooner or later you either buy out your partners or cut the operation free.
Sprint needs Clearwire more than Clearwire needs Sprint. Clearwire would survive by selling out to ATT/Verizon for a discount (if allowed by the DOJ). IMHO, this ends with Sprint bringing Clearwire back in house since Sprint just doesn’t have an alternative. Of course another strategic partnership could start the whole cycle again.
Why would anyone want to sign up for Clearwire? When I check out their services, they seem to be slower than DSL and from reports I’ve read online, not particularly reliable.
I just don’t understand the fascination with slow wireless options when we should be building much faster, more reliable, and affordable wired networks (as many communities have done without help from any big incumbents).
Just a question. Can there be any cross over (if that’s the term) between Clearwire & Sprint accounts in the same market? I live in Nashville, TN, and been a subscriber of its Internet and telephone services for two years, or whenever Clearwire began marketing here. Last month they sent out new Motorola modems. Clearwire had replaced its Expedience network with the 4G WiMax. But isn’t this the same 4G that Sprint now has here? And since we also have Sprint accounts, could we take our wifi macs and ipod touches on the road accessing the WiMax thru Clearwire?
Great post, thank you. We’ve seen them scaling back their operations in Kansas City which was interesting since Sprint in headquartered in the area.
ROME (Reuters) - Italy’s ruling coalition said on Wednesday it would not “backtrack” on plans to increase deficit spending, digging in against financial market and EU pressure and brushing off criticism from parliament’s budgetary office.
The budgetary office, a non-partisan body tasked with verifying budget sums, refused on Tuesday to validate the government’s multi-year plan, saying it used forecasts for economic growth that were too optimistic.
The parliamentary budget office opinion is not binding, but its rejection of the growth forecasts forced Economy Minister Giovanni Tria to return to parliament for a second straight day to explain.
Tria, struggling to impose his views as a moderating influence on fiscal matters within the cabinet, told parliament the government stood by its forecasts.
Investors have responded to the budget plan by selling Italian debt, raising the cost of borrowing and hurting banks that have large holdings of government bonds.
“The rise of yields on state bonds recorded in the past few days is certainly worrying, but I want to repeat that it’s an excessive reaction that isn’t justified by Italy’s economic fundamentals,” said Tria.
“This budget doesn’t put into discussion the sustainability of the debt. It’s clear that a government must try to recover confidence and it will do all it can to recover confidence,” Tria added. Bond yields declined slightly on Wednesday after his remarks.
The leaders of both coalition parties repeated that they would not give in to pressure. On RAI state radio, anti-establishment 5-Star Movement leader Luigi Di Maio said he would not “betray” Italians by changing the budget plan.
Tria said deficit spending would be worth 22 billion euros next year with the budget including 15 billion euros ($17.2 billion) in cuts and extra revenue to cover 37 billion in total additional spending.
The government, which took office in June, has fixed next year’s deficit at 2.4 percent of gross domestic product (GDP), three times the forecast of the previous centre-left administration. Economic growth is seen at 1.5 percent next year, 1.6 percent in 2020, and 1.4 percent in 2021.
Mainly known in the UK for the beaches of the Costa Brava and Dorada, Catalonia is a region with an incredibly rich variety of landscapes. Close to the coast, the rolling highlands offer lovely views towards the sea and inland towards the heights of the Sierras, which are rich in wildlife and flora. Your walks feature both landscapes, as well as the character-filled villages of the interior.
Your base is Coma-Ruga, a pleasantly unspoilt resort with an excellent beach in the quieter Penedes area of the ‘Golden Coast’, the Costa Dorada, between Barcelona and Tarragona. There is an excellent, reasonably priced rail service to both cities. Apart from the wine-producing counties of the Penedes, you also walk in the adjacent Alt Camp, the ‘High Country’.
Flight to Barcelona or Reus. Transfer to your hotel, just under an hour away. Seven nights half board accommodation is reserved for you.
In resort with three included walking excursions.
Walk 1: Coastal Walk from La Mora to Torredembarra. After a short coach transfer you start your walk near the medieval Mora watchtower. You cross the beach and the headland before reaching Tamarit and its castle. You head along the beach and then a short way inland, up the river, to explore the ‘witches’ village’ of Altafulla. The coastal area, the story goes, was plagued by pirates and smugglers: the word was put out that the upper part of the village was populated by witches, so as to discourage attack! You return to the wide beach and climb onto the headland to reach ‘Els Munts’, an impressive Roman villa (the word means a farmstead). Nearby there are other, rather less impressive, holiday ‘villas’. You descend into Torredembarra – the town has a pleasant old quarter and beach. Total so far 6 miles, 80m of climb/descent. Nearby is a dune area, a haven for birds and of ecological importance: you will have time to explore it if you wish. You return to the hotel by train.
Walk 2: The Foix Natural Park, and modernist l’Arboc. After a short transfer to the Foix Dam, you take a shady loop across the gentle hillside - there are excellent views of Castellet Castle. After exploring the village, you cross the Foix River and follow country lanes to the little modernist town of l’Arboc. The town has a copy of Seville’s landmark Giralda tower (a local 19th century couple honeymooned there, and built a copy when they came home!). Again, you return to Coma-Ruga by train. 5 miles, 150m climb/descent.
Santes Creus, one of the three great Catalan Monasteries, which you can visit. 9 miles, 70m climb/descent.
Free time until your departure to the airport for your flight home.

Iaian Archibald grew up sailing in Nova Scotia with his father.
After spending time in British Columbia, he returned home and in 2014 began work on the company he co-founded with engineer Craig Shepherd.
Swell Advantage is a marina and waterfront management software that helps facilities manage recreational boats and relationships with boat owners.
“Marina and waterfront management is complex because of the number of boats and moving parts and customer. We help simplify that complexity,” Archibald said.
The software is designed to improve the operation of marinas and enhance the relationship with boaters.
Archibald says the software can increase revenues for marinas by decreasing costs and helping facilities identify opportunities for more revenues.
It is also providing better customer service to boaters with a customer relations management (CRM) tool that helps boaters find and book the best slips.
The company resides in Volta Labs in Halifax.
It has a client in the Waterfront Development Corporation, now Develop Nova Scotia, but the company recognizes that the marina business is seasonal in this part of the world. It is now focusing its efforts on Southern California.
In 2017 Swell Advantage raised US$100,000 in equity financing from the Port of San Diego to build a smart marina.
This project will help the company develop a product that can be scaled up and sold to other marinas.

Ontario's police watchdog is investigating after officers deployed a Taser on an 80-year-old woman who suffered a fractured hip after falling to the ground.
The Special Investigations Unit said the incident under investigation occurred in the Thomas Street and Erin Mills Parkway area in the early hours of Aug. 28 in Mississauga, Ont.
Their preliminary information indicates that Peel Regional Police had received calls about a woman walking along the road.
The SIU said that police spoke with the woman and "at some point" a Taser was deployed and the woman fell to the ground.
The woman was taken to Credit Valley Hospital where she was treated for her injuries.
The SIU has identified one subject officer and two witness officers.
The SIU investigates all incidents involving police in which death or serious injury occur, or when allegations of sexual assault are raised.
Ontario recently announced that it would allow local police forces to decide which officers can carry and use Tasers, after reviewing data that suggests their use results in "fewer significant injuries" to police and the public.
As Reuters notes, that’s a big shift from one year ago, when full ownership was the prevailing idea behind autonomous vehicle development. “Dozens of companies - including carmakers and tech firms like Google and Uber - are vying for a market which, according to consulting firm Frost & Sullivan, will only make up about 10 to 15 percent of vehicles in Europe by 2030. There are sure to be losers,” Reuters says.
"It's impossible for me to believe there will be 50 successful autonomous vehicle software producers," John Hoffecker, global vice chairman of Michigan-based consulting firm AlixPartners, told the news service. Is the outlook for autonomous vehicles dimming? The focus on creating a profitable business model may signal that the market is getting real.
Crypto researchers brace for quantum computing’s threat to security. Companies are advancing toward commercializing the world’s first large-scale quantum computer sooner than previously thought, which has cryptography experts racing to develop new encryption systems capable of thwarting a quantum computing attack on internet security by a hacker or rogue nation state, reports CIO Journal’s Sara Castellanos. “Classes of problems that are impossible to solve on a classical supercomputer become easy to solve when you have a large-scale quantum computer. One of those is the underlying math that protects (our) secure transactions today,” said Scott Totzke, co-founder and CEO of Isara Corp. A widely used encryption algorithm called RSA is among those particularly at risk when a large-scale quantum computer does come to market, according to a Microsoft Corp. researcher.
BVRrRegr3tZ! Back in 2003, Bill Burr, then a midlevel manager at the National Institute of Standards and Technology, recommended in an 8-page password security primer that people looking to protect their accounts use passwords rife with obscure characters, capital letters and numbers—and to change them regularly. Mr. Burr, now retired, is sorry about all that, the Journal's Robert McMillan reports. NIST now recommends that users adopt long, easy-to-remember phrases and change their passwords only if there is a sign they may have been stolen.
Hackers release HBO emails. Hackers Monday posted a link to a cache of internal HBO documents including a month's worth of emails belonging to an executive there and a script summary of an upcoming Game of Thrones episode, the Hollywood Reporter says.
Disney spies on kids, suit alleges. A class-action lawsuit accuses The Walt Disney Co. of spying on children through mobile apps and sharing data with advertisers without consent, reports The Washington Post. Software companies Upsight, Unity, and Kochava are also named in the suit, filed last week in Northern California, as violating the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, a federal law to protect the privacy of children online. “Disney said the lawsuit is misguided and intends to defend it in court,” the Washington Post writes.

The end of typing. A new generation of internet users—a swath of the poor and less-literate—tend to use voice recognition and other intuitive apps over text, creating new business winners and losers. Silicon Valley giants are rushing to respond. “The new users are very different from the first billion,” Caesar Sengupta, who heads a group at Alphabet Inc.’s Google trying to adapt to the new wave, tells the Journal's Eric Bellman. Google has revamped the way certain searches look in India, often substituting photos and videos for a long lists of links.

Kalanick not coming back. Uber Technologies Inc. won’t be bringing co-founder Travis Kalanick back as CEO, the company’s chairman told employees in an attempt to quell reports the co-founder was attempting a comeback. “Travis is not returning as CEO,” Garrett Camp, himself a co-founder, wrote Monday in a staff email reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. “We are committed to hiring a new world-class CEO to lead Uber.” The Journal's Greg Bensinger reports that Uber retained executive-search firm Heidrick & Struggles International Inc. to help it find its new CEO and COO.
Gig economy, product of Great Recession, under threat in hot job market. Companies such as Uber, Lyft Inc. and DoorDash Inc. that rely on part-time workers are offering richer benefits and perks to attract and retain workers amid a hot labor market, the Journal's Kelsey Gee reports. Companies are using signing bonuses to lure new employees and have upped the perks, but whether this can reduce churn is yet to be seen. In any given month, an estimated one in six participants in the gig economy is new, and more than half of such workers exit within a year, according to a November report from the JPMorgan Chase & Co. Institute.
