Marsh fire 'hot spots' extinguished

Two National Guard helicopters with Bambi Buckets continued to drop water on areas where light hazes of smoke were spotted during a flyover Sunday morning.

At this time, there are no visible flames in the marsh fire and the three 'hot spots' have been extinguished.

The Louisiana National Guard will not fly firefighting missions tomorrow.

To monitor the situation, the New Orleans Fire Department will conduct ground surveys of the area three times a day with the Mosquito Control Board supporting those efforts with flyovers.

"We will continue to lean forward, and we will act quickly if the situation on the ground changes," said Mayor Mitch Landrieu.

In the meantime, the city continues to coordinate with the Department of Environmental Quality to monitor air quality, which is currently "moderate".

Key Is The "cool" To Apple For The Future Of The Company?

Apple is a breakthrough among enterprise customers as never before, thanks largely to the success of their mobile devices. These devices, combined with the cold around Apple devices could be the key to the future adoption of all Apple products by the companies, including Macs, according to a growing number of experts.

Larry Dignan ZDNet Bausch + Lomb said CIO Alan Farnsworth in an interview published on Friday, and Farnsworth, said that the application of force Apple's business is the ability of its equipment to maintain interest in employees who otherwise could not pay close attention to the initiatives. Bausch & Lomb has been early to adopt the iPad +, and now has 1,700 for an Apple tablet. The company uses the iPad 2s to employees who deal with customers on a regular basis, and move the older models of other workers, including part of the production plan, according to the report of ZDNet.

Farnsworth also stated that Mac support is coming, in an effort by IT to meet with employees, where you feel comfortable:

If you let people communicate the work they do at home, they will be more productive. We got iPhones and iPads before we ramp up with Apple when it began using IPAD. Now we have Mac drivers started.

Glasgow Art Ingenix IOC also believe that fresh is more important than some might think, when it comes to business use. A few months ago, ReadWriteWeb Glasgow said that the iPad has the double threat of being both cool and useful:

Cool usability rules and issues of the day, devices such as iPad must not only perform, but designed for. The good news is that devices like the iPad is not just cool. They are flexible, multipurpose tools that change the way we work and create and in this sense may well be not only an innovation in itself but a catalyst for innovation.

It could be argued that the value of Apple's coolness factor is a secondary factor when it comes to the company's success, but I think there is quite a lot of evidence to the contrary. Dell Executive Andy Lark, for example, has pointed out some very good reasons why the iPad is not a practical undertaking, and no shortage of articles are good arguments against the adoption of Apple products for IT departments.

Apple faces several technical challenges in convincing enterprises to implement their products, but they are taking the same, with 91 percent of Fortune 500 companies testing or deployment of the iPhone starting in July. This is because Apple's greatest strength for business users is the prestige that comes with the Apple brand. Business users are consumers, too, so that internal and external customers to any legal person are, in general, will be attracted to Apple products, which can simplify the adoption of new technology initiatives for employees and help to sell to customers.

"Glee": Five Reasons '3 D Concert "sank At The Box Office

All is not well humming Kids Of New Directions. "Glee: 3D Concert Movie", which sank to the multiplex this weekend, roping, and only $ 5.7 million decrease in 11 place at the box office.

What has happened? View a list of the protagonist in the movie, Lea Michele, Cory Monteith, Chris Colfer, notch-plus scores from viewers of the film under 25 years, and was coming off season "Glee", which averages more than 10 million viewers . MTV News heard a couple of areas of privileged information for the opening of the film, and came up with five reasons to explain the box-office failure:

Demo

A successful 3-D concert film Hannah Montana and Justin Bieber had one thing in common: Tween-centric audience. But, as Jeff Bock, box office analyst for Exhibitor Relations, said that is simply not happen, "joy". "True fans of the TV series is not just a teenager," he said. "The majority of fans are adults, and are certainly not the population that runs out to see a concert film, especially one that has a 3-D. Gleeks Not only are they most likely went to see live performances, the film is taken. "

Bock argues that "Glee", the comparison is not accurate Bieber "Never Say Never", but "U2 3D." The film, he says, is the only concert in 3-D doc is not oriented toward a younger audience. "Despite being one of the most popular bands in the land of U2, the film barely scraped $ 10 million," he said.

Marketing

"Glee" not only suffered from a hostile heart in 3-D documents show, but its successful marketing campaign to attract new eyes. According to Brandon Gray of Box Office Mojo, "In marketing," Glee "was strictly for hard core Gleek to come off as redundant and self-congratulation over casual observers can see the TV series for free. A Despite hype the show, only about about 500,000 tickets were sold for the film. "

Fox TV executives were reportedly satisfied with the marketing effort, and the anonymous source that department without saying the word, "I think it was the SH --- Y campaign, which does not communicate effectively what the films and people who have seen once again positive. I think that characterize the society has taken very relaxed approach, feeling their only mission was to warn the core fans, and not simply to fill seats. "

"Help"

While the marketing campaign has been stronger, "Glee" was still in the battle at the box office with "The Help", Emma Stone segregation era drama (which opened with $ 25.5 million). The concert film was released on the losing side. "Clearly, the" help "has arrived, and brought to the attention of the women's section of the large audience," said Phil Contrin, Boxoffice.com editor. "When you have a movie that plays in-like" help, there is a ripple effect, and "Glee" felt the impact of it. "

The 3-D

So he had problems with census data, marketing and crowded multiplex. But do not forget the people started less receptive to the 3-D in general, often choosing to go less than the 2-D path, if the film at hand does not seem a must-see-in 3-D Event . A success like "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2", for example, has had the most public yet selected a 2-D projections during the opening weekend. For the public "Glee" do not have this option. "All the emotion was not too high, and the lack of regular price alternative to the 2-D received a cash-strapped teenagers are ignorant of the movie," wrote Guru Gitesh Pandya Box Office.

Overexposure

Finally, in 'Glee' was not only against external competition, but themselves. Maybe there's a little 'too' Glee, "going at this time. "Children can watch the real" Glee "free fox and the fake" Glee Project ", with extra oxygen, so why spend the money for milk for a movie ticket?" Nikki Finke wrote in a moment. "And perhaps the" Glee "is a bit 'too exposed at the time and not as cold as it was originally."
