Some of the higher resorts in the south-western canton of Valais are open for ski business. St Moritz in eastern Switzerland, with only 15cm of snow on its higher pistes, is issuing visitors with a list of 400 things to do if it does not snow, including skating and taking in a little local culture. The Rigi region in central Switzerland has a similar amount of snow - not enough to justify opening the lifts. Visitors are being urged to go for a walk instead.
This is the third Christmas season in a row with little or no snowfall. Tourism bosses are now wondering whether to abandon ski activities on lower slopes so they can concentrate their efforts on making money during the summer months instead.
Back in December of last year, Agilebits updated its iOS version of 1Password taking user feedback to heart. With a completely redesigned user interface and support for iCloud sync, there was really only one thing missing, and that was 1Password 4 for Mac. Today Agilebits released a sneak peek of what users can expect from the highly anticipated release of 1Password 4 for Mac this fall.
Taking a cue from their iOS release, 1Password 4 for Mac will have Favorites, Multi-Site Logins, and of course iCloud sync. The iCloud Sync feature in particular is one that I have been waiting for since the new iOS version came out. Don’t worry, Dropbox sync will still be supported.
Custom fields can also be added to most items so you can make them your own. There will also be support for more item types. The included extension for browsers on the Mac has been completely redesigned and will be identical for each browser, as it is now native Cocoa.
An interesting new feature will be the ability to share encrypted items via iMessage or eMail. Depending on how this works out, and who can share items with whom, this may be a way to send encrypted notes back and forth.
Like the iOS update, 1Password 4 for Mac will be a complete redesign. And according to Agilebits to 1Password 4 for Mac will be a free upgrade to all Mac App Store customers; yes, all of them. Website customers who purchased 1Password for Mac prior to January 1, 2013 will have to pay an upgrade price that has yet to be determined. The new version is expected to be released this fall.
I just hope their Chrome on Mac plugin works better than it has lately. (Though someone suggested it’s driven by Chrome’s oddities…) In any case, I’m a 1P fan and am looking forward to the new version. I know other folks swear by other tools, and that’s great… for me it’s about encouraging people to use unique and higher-security passwords. The easier it is to do this, the better off we all will be.
I’ve been using 1Password on all of our devices for years and it has been awesome. I’ve contacted support a couple of times (concern when LastPass was hacked) and they responded almost immediately with the differences to ally our fears.
I’ll be interested to see how Apple’s new Keychain password encryption works, but will likely stick with 1Password.
I hope that 1Password 4 will include the ability to assign the browser, which will open a 1Password item.
This has become essential as Safari now has mad open-in-new-tab the default behaviour when clicking a link on a web page. While this is a good change for most web browsing, it create havoc when clicking a link on a secure web page: most secure pages automatically log you out when the new tab opens.
I know, I can hold down the command key to open a Link on the same page, but out of habit, I sometimes forget, and loose the secure site. Neither do I want to switch to Firefox for all my browsing.
I like LastPass – much better program.

Scott Walker, the influential singer, songwriter and producer whose hits with the Walker Brothers in the 1960s included "The Sun Ain't Gonna Shine Anymore," has died. He was 76.
The record company 4AD announced the death on Monday. The company said he died Friday afternoon in London. A cause of death wasn't given.
The Walker Brothers enjoyed a string of hits that also included "Make It Easy on Yourself." Scott Walker later went on to produce numerous songs, movie scores and a number of solo albums.
The Ohio-born Walker, who began his career as a session bass player, changed his name from Noel Scott Engel when he joined the Walker Brothers, also relocating to London.
The Walker Brothers were hugely popular in Britain at a time when the music scene was dominated by the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. They also enjoyed hits in the United States. He left the band to pursue a solo career when they were near their commercial peak.
As a solo artist, Walker released a number of well-received albums, and joined the Walker Brothers for a final album together in the 1980s. He also produced numerous albums for other artists and was seen as an influential figure in the music world.
Thom Yorke of Radiohead tweeted his sadness at Walker's death.
"He was a huge influence on Radiohead and myself, showing me how I could use my voice and words," York said. "Met him once at Meltdown (festival), such a kind gentle outsider. He will be very missed."
Marc Almond of Soft Cell called Walker an "absolute musical genius, existential and intellectual and a star right from the days of the Walker Brothers."
"He gave me so much inspiration," Almond wrote on Instagram.
The record company says Walker is survived by partner Beverly, daughter Lee and granddaughter Emmi-Lee.
With the NFL operating without a Salary Cap for the first time since 1993, there were rules in place to offset the expected bounce in player spending (which never happened). The most impactful rule, in my opinion, changed the number of years required for unrestricted free agency from four to six, taking 212 players off the market and saving teams tens of millions of dollars in player spending.
The Broncos entered free agency with five of their prime players in this limbo restricted free agent (RFA) group. Now all five have been addressed without any money spent in 2010 beyond their initial RFA valuation in March.
Keeping talented yet discontented Brandon Marshall under his RFA tender would have certainly caused him to ratchet up the volume on his unhappiness with his contract and Josh McDaniels. The April trade to the Dolphins eliminated any further obligation to Marshall. Also traded was tight end Tony Scheffler, a player the Broncos had been shopping for two years.
ICONKuper got a $25 million extension with no new money in 2010.
Chris Kuper, the Broncos’ right guard, signed an extension worth $25 million in new money, with $13.25 million guaranteed.
Game-changing pass rusher Elvis Dumervil signed a record-setting $61 million contract with a $43 million “rolling guarantee” that triggers in February.
The Broncos will pay no new 2010 money to Kuper of Dumervil beyond their RFA tender valuations of $2.521 million.
Starting quarterback Kyle Orton agreed to a one-year extension adding $9 million to his existing contract for the 2011 season. As with Dumervil, there is no new money in 2010 and Orton continues to play under his $2.6 million RFA tender valuation.
The Broncos did not spend one penny more in 2010 on these five talented players than they were scheduled to spend on March 4 when they applied the tenders, actually saving $2.5 million and $1.177 million that were applied to Marshall and Scheffler before trading those tenders to other teams.
For a team with cash issues, the Broncos handled them adroitly in this unique 2010. In the midst of the NFL declaring to the union that player costs have spiraled away from them, the Broncos may be an example for both sides to use in how they operated in 2010.

What Is Next For Amanda Nunes And Raquel Pennington?
The UK can unilaterally revoke its withdrawal from the EU, according to a European Court of Justice Advocate General's legal opinion.
Instead, he said Article 50 allows the "unilateral revocation of the notification of the intention to withdraw from the EU, until such time as the Withdrawal Agreement is formally concluded".
The opinion, which is not binding on the court, comes just a week after the case was heard at the ECJ following a referral from Scotland's highest civil court, the Court of Session.
A statement from the ECJ said: "In answer to the question from the Scottish court, the Advocate General proposes that the Court of Justice should, in its future judgment, declare that Article 50 TEU allows the unilateral revocation of the notification of the intention to withdraw from the EU, until such time as the Withdrawal Agreement is formally concluded, provided that the revocation has been decided upon in accordance with the member state's constitutional requirements, is formally notified to the European Council and does not involve an abusive practice."
Those who brought the case argued unilateral revocation is possible and believe it could pave the way for an alternative option to Brexit, such as a 'People's Vote' to enable remaining in the EU.
Legal representatives for the UK government argued the case is inadmissible as it deals with a hypothetical situation, since the government's policy is not to revoke Article 50.
Lawyers representing the Council of the European Union and from the European Commission argued revocation is possible but would require unanimous agreement from all member states.
At the hearing last week, Aidan O'Neill QC, representing the politicians who brought the case, said they need to know all their options on Brexit, including whether the UK can unilaterally halt the process ahead of critical votes on the withdrawal agreement.
Advocate General for Scotland Lord Keen QC, representing the UK government, said the case is a "hypothetical validity challenge" and those behind it seek "political ammunition to be used in, and to pressure, the UK Parliament".
Hubert Legal, representing the Council of the European Union, said allowing unilateral withdrawal could lead to "disaster", of which "the main victim could be the European project altogether".
He said Article 50 is "not ambiguous", adding: "The prerogative of acting alone will have been exhausted by putting the notification letter on the council's table."
Meanwhile, the UK parliament today begins five days of debates before voting next week on the proposed Brexit deal agreed by British Prime Minister Theresa May with the EU.

STARKVILLE, Miss. – The Arkansas baseball team (17-9, 4-4 SEC) split a doubleheader at No. 13 Mississippi State (19-10, 5-3) on Saturday, taking game one 4-0 and dropping the nightcap 5-1 at Dudy Noble Field.
