Google to expand child care in Baylands
Architects for Google presented plans for a daycare facility for 250 children alongside Palo Alto's Baylands to the Architectural Review Board Thursday. The site at 1129 San Antonio Ave. lies just across the street from another Google daycare facility for 80 children under construction at 3801 E. Bayshore Road. Google offices are also nearby in Mountain View. The board's preliminary review required no vote, but members said they liked the plans despite concerns about parking. The proposal calls for tearing down three existing office buildings susceptible to flooding because they lie below a federally required eight-foot mark and replacing them with a one-story row of classrooms and play spaces. The buildings, bordered by salt marshes and a utility yard, would measure about 46,500 square feet, project manager David Blitz of the Staubach Company said.
Rawlings-The Idi Amin of Ghana.
On Monday February 11, Mr. Bernard Manu, wrote a piece posted on Ghana web with the caption Much ado about Rawlings". He raised several interesting points which, I believe, require far more thoughtful analysis than the feeble attempt by the author. First and foremost, those of us who are seeking justice for the many victims of Rawlings are not on a warpath to "pull him down-PhD", as Mr. Manu puts it. No one is pulling Mr. Rawlings down. We are demanding a measure of justice for the thousand of victims who met their ultimate fate in the wake of Rawlings' misguided junta. Rawlings and his men massacred thousands of Ghanaians with impunity. Remember that some of those generals, who were massacred by Rawlings' AFRC thugs, had constitutional protection from any prosecution. Their constitutional protection meant very little to their murderous intentions.

Bernanke Dismisses 'Stagflation'
The economy is not close to a 1970s-style mix of stagnant growth and high inflation, Federal Reserve Chairman Ben S. Bernanke said yesterday, but he painted a generally dour outlook and cautioned that the downturn is likely to cause some small banks to go under. .
Belated Firefox patch coming for (another) protocol handling bug
Mozilla security chief Window Snyder says the "jar:" protocol handler issue that currently haunts Firefox will be fixed very soon in the next refresh of the browser. The problem (see previous coverage) is that Firefox's "jar:" protocol handler does not validate the MIME type of the contents of an archive, which are then executed in the context of the site hosting the archive. This can be exploited to conduct cross-site scripting attacks on sites that allow a user to upload certain files (e.g. .zip, .png, .doc, .odt, .txt). [ ALSO SEE: Firefox feature introduces danger ] On the official Mozilla security blog, Snyder explains the vulnerability and attack vector: Firefox supports the Java Archive URI scheme that allows the addressing of the contents of zip archives.

MINNETONKA, Minn. The ruins of the Minneapolis bridge collapse are all cleaned up now, but Garrett Ebling is still picking up the wreckage it made of his life."Every step I take I'm sore, so that's a reminder. Every time I look in the mirror and see my new nose, it's a reminder. My mouth gets sore every time I chew that's a reminder," said Ebling, a 32-year-old journalist who was among the worst injured when his Ford Focus plummeted 60 feet into the Mississippi River.
For most Minnesotans, what happened on Aug. 1 has receded from daily notice. Answers from a federal investigation into the cause are months away, and at the state Capitol the doomed bridge has become just another subject of partisan feuding.But for Ebling, and an estimated 15 or so others seriously injured in the catastrophe, the last few months have been just the beginning of a long struggle to regain their health.Ebling's "new sense of normal," as he calls it, means recovering from the numerous bones broken in his face and jaw, two broken feet, a compound fracture in his left arm, a severed colon and a collapsed lung."You try to find milestones," Ebling said.He has a few: The day he left the hospital, two months after the collapse; walking for the first time without a walker, right before Thanksgiving; and his first day back at work for a few hours, about four months after the collapse.Before Aug.
The amazing, imploding ISP business
Andrew's Mailbag This week I described how amazingly vulnerable much of the British ISP business is. Vulnerable to botnets, hackers or fraudsters? No, nothing so exotic. A few people watching a bit of BBC on the streaming iPlayer may be enough to bring much of the business here to its knees. (I drew on a post on STL Partners Telco 2.0 blog, who used data published by Plus.net on the first month's iPlayer - do check them both out). Some of you might be experiencing a bit of deja vu, here. ISPs rang the alarm some time ago about the impact of iPlayer. We explored the costs of delivering high-definition video over the internet last year here. But this crisis is being precipitated by the low bandwidth, streaming version of iPlayer. Streamed TV over the internet costs your ISP a penny per viewer per minute.
