Google is asking people to participate by reporting any problems on the trails on their “Report a Problem” tool. They mean to continue adding new trail information to Google Maps.

Bikers using Google Maps will be able to type in where they want to go and will then receive instructions for the best route. It even gives a preference to trails instead of roads with traffic, as long as the eventual route is not too much further.

Shannon Guymon, Product Manager for Google Maps said, “We’re thrilled to be working with Rails-To-Trails Conservancy to make RTC’s extensive bike trail data available through Google Maps and Google Earth”.

After this though, he decided to mention the case that ended yesterday against with a guilty plea from Robert Halderman, the CBS News producer. He started the dialogue by saying, “I need to talk to you about a segment of my life here that began six months ago”.

Halderman, who is facing six months in jail, had threatened to expose Letterman’s affair with Stephanie Birkitt, and others, unless he was paid $2 million dollars from Letterman. Letterman became stressed and anxious about this and felt he had no other choice than to contact the New York District Attorney’s office to inform them about what was happening.

He went on to back up what the District Attorney’s office had told him about how it would be handled professionally, by saying, “they were exactly right – it was handled professionally, skilfully and appropriately”. He then thanked individual members of the Attorney’s office by name. After this brief interlude he carried on the show, much the same as usual.

The 4G LTE network in question will eventually succeed the current 3G network and deliver faster data transfer. Date rates for 3G currently delivers around 2 megabits a second, while 4G starts at 100 mbps and can reach 1 gigabit per second.

The 4G LTE network is already well underway from Verizon as opposed to AT&T who intend to follow suit next year. Of course all this means that 4G AT&T consumers would be unable to take advantage of 4G speed, unless of course the iPhone 4G does go to Verizon.

However later on yesterday that earlier work looked set to be undone as Israel announced plans to build 1,600 new settler homes in East Jerusalem. As the Palestinians deem more settlements as a major setback to reaching a peace agreement, this was always going to be a controversial move on the part of the Israelis.

Palestinians have also made known their desire to have east Jerusalem as a capital for their promised state, so the plans are sure to cause anger with them. Joe Biden condemned the plans for the housing at the Ramat Shlomo settlement, saying strongly, “The substance and timing of the announcement, particularly with the launching of proximity talks, is precisely the kind of step that undermines the trust we need right now.”

Google Apps will make it simple to integrate any application, with being able to add links to the navigation bar and single sign-on, just two of the benefits. To sign up for access to the tools will cost $100 for a developer but this will then enable them to sell their application via Google Apps, to businesses.

In much the same way as the app store works on mobile phones, developers can earn extra money by instead utilizing it to web applications. Producing compatible applications will not only be easier using Google Tools, but will also make those applications for the end user, simpler to operate.

In a statement the board said that the effect of this seeped throughout the team and affected their play and was a “bad influence on the whole team” and that both Younis and Yousuf “should not be part of national team in any format”.

The Pakistan team’s recent tour of Australia was dismal, resulting in the loss of all their matches and a ball-tampering row. In November Younis had resigned as captain amid concerns he had lost authority. Yousuf was then made captain but failed to pull the team together. The punishments were the results of a 6 man inquiry into the team’s performance.

According to the Press Association, Shoaib Malik and Rana Naved-ul Hasan were also given one-year bans by the PCB whilst Shahid Afridi who was involved in the ball tampering incident was fined and placed on probation for 6 months. Kamran and Umar Akmal were also both fined five million rupees because of indiscipline. Are you shocked by the life bans on the two former captains? Does this seem an over-reaction from the Board, or maybe you feel they deserved their punishment?
