AUGUSTA, Ga. – Two Georgia College women's basketball players were named to the (PBC) All-Peach Belt Conference Team Tuesday. Juniors Enisha Donley (Loganville, Ga.) and Shanteona Keys (Roswell, Ga.) were both named to the All-PBC Second Team.
Donley ranks in the PBC top-10 in four categories, while Keys finished in three. Donley ranked No. 5 in points-per-game at 16.3, points with 408, field goals with 169 and field-goal percentage at .533. Keys was tied-seventh in points with 393, eighth in points-per-game at 15.1 and ninth in field goals with 146.
This the first time Donley has been selected to the all-conference team, while Keys has now been named to the All-PBC Team for the third consecutive year. Keys repeats from last season as a Second Team selection, while making the Third Team and PBC Freshman of the Year her freshman season in 2011-12.
All-time, GC women's basketball has put 35 players on the All-PBC Teams. After this season, Keys has become the first three-time honoree in school history.
The pair has helped the Bobcats to their first PBC Tournament appearance since 2011. Georgia College takes on Armstrong Atlantic State University Thursday, March 6 in Columbus, Ohio. The West Division fourth-seeded Bobcats came within three points in the final 30 seconds last weekend to the East Division's first-seeded Pirates in both team's season finales.
The Georgia College Department of Athletics, two-time winners of the PBC Commissioner's Cup, sponsors 11 varsity athletic programs at the NCAA Division II level. As a Division II program, Bobcat Athletics prides itself on balancing the life of the student-athlete, evidenced by the teams' multiple appearances in post-season competition as well as documented academic success and community-service involvement.

Day 1 - PKRA - Fuerteventura Kiteboarding Grand Slam 2007
The Fuerteventura PKRA Kiteboarding Grand Slam 2007 kicks off to an exciting start under an overcast Sotavento skies. The northwesterly wind blew at an average of 22 knots (6 bft) during most of the day creating choppy waters, while the temperature was a bit cooler compared to yesterday at 25° Celsius. Fresh from the Portugal stop, some of the riders were already hot on trail as some of them showed off their kiteboarding talents to the delight of the cheering crowd on the beach. After the skippers meeting at 11:00 am, kiteboarding action went underway at exactly 12:15 pm for the racing event. Bruno Sroka (Takoon, France) continued his winning streak, fresh from Portugal. Sean Farley (North, Mexico) still leads the race along with Sami Gali (Best, Spain) who went to the waters on borrowed equipment. With a friendly and fast course on nearly dead flat water, Sroka had a substantial lead by the first mark. The rest of the racers were left to battle it out behind the top three guys as they weaved their way through each other while rounding the marks and heading to the next one.
After the course racing, the competition went on to the men's trials then the drawing of the competition ladder. One notable stand out from the trials was tour newcomer and recent North Young Blood camp winner Marc Jacobs (New Zealand) who had an awesome heat and secured a place in the main event.
The wind gradually increased phase as the men's freestyle event got under way under choppy water at exactly 1:30 pm which made for some challenging conditions. First up were young rider Madison Van Heurck (Naish, USVI) and Gleb Ogar (North, Russia) in heat #1. Ogar won with a blind judge and slim claiming the heat over a frazzled Van Heurck who struggled to land his moves in the gusty winds and chops. In the same heat, rookie Marc Jacobs (North, New Zealand) defeated Carved rider Philipp Brueckmann (Germany) with a blind judge with aerial handlepass, s-bend to blind with airpass, 313, kiteloop handlepass, slim and mobe. Jacobs displayed more technical difficulties, variety and power to pass on to the next heat. His opponent, Brueckmann landed a slim, mobe, blind judge with aerial handlepass and kiteloop handlepass. In heat #2, Alvaro Onieva (Best, Spain) who missed the Portugal round defeated another North rider Pedro Bueno (Brazil) who seemed to have ran out of "buenoâ€Â

Darien girls lacrosse ready to repeat in 2014
When she was younger, Mariah Matheis looked up to her brother Case, now a sophomore at Duke, as a role model. She attended all of his lacrosse games at Darien, where he finished as the program's career leader in points, goals and assists.
Nowadays, Case's little sister is looking to make her own mark on the Darien's girls program that will be seeking its 13th FCIAC and state championship this season. After seeing some action in a non-starting role last season, Matheis will open 2014 alongside fellow junior starter Anna Moorhead and be expected to be more involved in the offense.
"She's a lefty attacker, very dynamic, good vision, has a great shot, team player," Darien coach Lisa Lindley said. "She and Moorhead are my two veteran attackers now."
While the Blue Wave appear to be set at many positions, Lindley's biggest task is finding two other starters to play with Matheis and Moorhead at attack. Among the candidates are senior Julia Black, junior Dani Dunn, sophomores Susie Ropp, Kayleigh Morrill and Schuyler van den Broek and freshman Gabby Noto.
Whoever steps in will have a difficult act to follow, as Darien graduated four all-Americans from last year's team that rolled to the FCIAC and Class L title en route to a no. 10 ranking nationally by Lax Power. Defensively, the team returns seniors Jackie Brokaw and Ellie Bennett, with junior Julia Arrix in midfield alongside Schoen and fellow seniors Emily Stein and Hollis Perticone. Senior Kyra Gardner plans to take over in goal. The four Blue Wave four captains -- Stein, Schoen, Bennett and Perticone -- are chasing a third state championship in their four years. Schoen and Stein will also be seeking back-to-back seasons with All-Americans honors.
Darien is scheduled to open its regular season on Wednesday against Norwalk, but large tests loom immediately afterward including games against New York powers Garden City, Farmingdale, Manhassett and Suffern. The Blue Wave's only loss last season came in overtime against Garden City.
"There's going to be such a learning curve versus playing teams where we destroy people every day," Lindley said. "I'd rather take a loss against a quality opponent than waste my time."
More InformationFact box
Presently, Matheis has committed to Georgetown, as one of 12 Darien players on the who have announced their college intentions.
Others include Bennett (Dartmouth), Black (Wesleyan), Brokaw (Colby), Perticone (Middlebury), Kelly Karczewski (Amherst), Gardner (Amherst), Dunn (UConn), Caroline Benitez (Florida), Arrix (Villanova), Morrill (Pennsylvania) and Sammi Nielsen (Cornell).

Want to know far has Andrew Bynum's star fallen? Look no further than this report from ESPN's Brian Windhorst and Ramona Shelburne, detailing a few trade rumours that Bynum's name has popped up in. Bynum for Pau Gasol! Bynum for Luol Deng! These seem like big-time trades, until you understand exactly why the Bulls and Lakers are interested in Bynum. They aren't looking to take a flyer on a once-dominant center who is still surprisingly young; they are looking to save a crapload of money.
Bynum's contract with the Cavaliers comes with a built-in escape hatch. If the Cavs, or any team that ends up trading for Bynum, decide that they don't want him on their team before a January 7 deadline, they can waive him without paying the second half of his $12.5 million contract. This essentially makes Bynum a super-expiring contract, a guy who can save team's money right now instead of forcing them to wait until the offseason:
By trading Gasol in a package for Bynum and then waiving Bynum, the injury-ravaged Lakers could save more than $20 million in salary and luxury taxes, which could help them maintain financial flexibility heading into the next few summers.
Bynum's vacated $6 million turns into $20 million because it gets the Lakers out of the looming repeater tax, a twist in the latest CBA that hits repeat luxury-tax payers with even stiffer penalties.
This all comes on the heels of Bynum's strange, unexplained dismissal from the Cavaliers, which started as a week-long suspension without pay and has given way to "paid leave." And nearly two months ago, Bynum gave an interview in which he admitted that he had recently considered retiring and was still "struggling mentally" to overcome his bum knees. Not even Andrew Bynum wants Andrew Bynum to play basketball.

India momentum tough to halt: Cook
The pressure on England's one-day international captain Alastair Cook is unrelenting, with each successive Royal London Series defeat against India.
England were hapless again in their latest trouncing, by nine wickets with a scarcely believable 19.3 overs to spare at Edgbaston, as India wrapped up the series 3-0 with a match still to play.
Calls for Cook's resignation, or sacking, have therefore gone up another notch - with time running out, on the admission of coach Peter Moores, for England to identify and fine-tune their best team for the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand early next year.
A whitewash in Leeds could be costly for Alastair Cook
Cook has made it clear, as he did so often during the Test summer before vindication came with a late surge to a 3-1 victory over India, that he intends to stick to his guns.
If England fail again at Headingley on Friday, though, it may yet be that someone in authority is forced into a rethink before it is too late.
Seven ODIs in Sri Lanka in November and December, then a taxing tri-series Down Under against India again and Australia in January, form England's wall-to-wall 50-over programme leading into the World Cup.
If they start that journey with a 4-0 whitewash on Cook's CV, it will be a daunting prospect indeed. So for captain and team, the stakes will be high in Leeds for their final assignment of the summer.
Cook knows 3-1 is no great shakes either, especially after hammerings rather than mere defeats so far.
He nonetheless still has one last chance to change perceptions, although he concedes halting India's momentum will be a mighty task for the out-of-sorts hosts.
"I think that's the most frustrating thing and probably the hardest thing I've found throughout my captaincy - when you get behind in a series trying to turn it around, especially in the one-dayers when it happens so quickly," he said.
"You know you've got to go out there and play with freedom, but when you keep losing wickets it's very hard to do that."
England have palpably failed three times in a week.
But there was one glimmer of hope in Birmingham, as Moeen Ali, in his first ODI of the summer, raced to a 37-ball 50, from number seven, with a display of neat footwork and bold striking.
It was a perfect example of how to do it and therefore also a demonstration of others' deficiencies.
At any rate, Moeen has surely ensured his services will be retained for Headingley and beyond, having impressed already with his fast-improving off-spin during the Test series.
"He's done himself absolutely no harm at all, especially the way he batted, and I thought he bowled okay as well in tough circumstances," Cook said of Moeen's performance in his home town.
England's conundrum is whether they can deploy Moeen and the reliable James Tredwell in the same match.
"It is quite hard, two off-spinners (in the same side). You'd always like one spinning away from the bat, from a right-hander," added Cook.
"But that's probably where we don't quite know our best side at the moment, because Mo's gone and batted really well and obviously we've seen in Test cricket he bowls really well as well."
The broader, and unyielding, topic is the captain's own effectiveness as a 50-over batsman, whether his sub-80 strike rate is a recipe for consistent, collective failure.
A string of former England players, and other pundits, are convinced they know what is best for the ODI team - and in their opinion, almost to a man, it is not Cook.
Graeme Swann has been foremost, and he was at it again in Birmingham, where the former off-spinner advocated sparing Cook the aggravation of World Cup disappointment so that he can concentrate on his specialist subject of Test cricket.
"We need Alastair Cook as a confident Test captain to win back the Ashes for us," said Swann.
"We are not going to win the World Cup, so why not just get youngsters in, who will play a vibrant game?"
Cook admits England have much to ponder.
"We've got a lot of thinking to do on selection," he aid.
"But the selection is ... at the moment, I think, a little bit irrelevant.
"It is about players performing and that's why it's becoming so hard, because players aren't doing that."
He still believes it is not his and Moores' ODI gameplan that is faulty, but that costly mistakes are being made in its implementation.
"I don't think it does need to change. I just think we need to do it better," he said..
"The first two games we got really good starts in the first 10 overs and the problem is none of us has gone on.
"We didn't get off to a good start (at Edgbaston). So tactics and strategies kind of go out the window when you're 20 for three or when you're 90 for five after a collapse.
"The top order have to score heavy runs at a good rate - it's fairly simple.
England urgently need to prove him right in Leeds.

text: Hello, I've set up 1 client with a domain, site, ftp and [email protected] the email isn't quite working. I've tried a test email to the new address but when trying to make new account, Evolution had a problem with authentication - I think I recall during the perfect server install that an SSL certificate was generated for mail authentication so I chose SSL authentication in evolution... Also after the perfect server install (Ubuntu 10.04) Squirrelmail has a problem too. On the webmail page I can't login? I'm not sure where to start with this so if someone can assist with the mail configuration... <edit> update - well it must be working because because about 20mins later the mailbox sent the copy of my test email (labeled ***SPAM***) to my gmail address as in Mailbox settings... Is the Evolution account problem possibly because the server uses a self-signed SSL certificate? Also during evolution new account setup check for IMAP authentication type verified password nicely, but for SMTP authentication check it stalled indefinately..? Thanks in advance... Mike.

Alfresco is set to release the 2.9 version of its open-source content management platform, its first move following its recent integration with Facebook. Features in the release include integrations with popular Web-based services like iGoogle and MediaWiki, as well as Adobe's web development tools.
"What we've pulled together is the de facto, standard tools people are already using," said Ian Howells, Alfresco's chief marketing officer. "What we're doing is sort of giving you all the classic enterprise control, but in a social-networking platform."
The release also features an integration with Adobe's Flex 2 Web development framework. The relationship with Flex is meant to encourage development of rich Internet applications on top of Alfresco. "We find it to be a good, productive environment," Howells said of Flex.
Alfresco gives its software away and makes money on support. It claims 20,000 installations, including among large enterprises such as Morgan Stanley.
Microsoft has also positioned its competing product, SharePoint, as a social computing platform.
In marketing materials accompanying the 2.9 launch, Alfresco officials had harsh words for SharePoint, calling it "slow and not scalable" and "hard to program and extend."
Howells backed away somewhat from that type of language. "What we're saying is Sharepoint is having a big impact and so is open source," he said. "The thing is, people don't want to be tied into a stack from top to bottom."
Alfresco is building to a 3.0 release, likely in the first half of 2008, Howells said, adding that customers can expect the platform to evolve fluidly. "We've created an environment that enables us to integrate to other tools rapidly ... so we can innovate quickly, not in 12- to 18-month release cycles. Facebook was not big 12 to 18 months ago."

Shannon #2: Shallow Grave
Shannon #2: Shallow Grave, by Jake Quinn
November, 1974 Leisure Books
I nearly forgot about the Shannon series; the initial volume, The Undertaker, was one of the first reviews I wrote on the blog. Shallow Grave is very much in the vein of its predecessor; author Jake Quinn, whoever he was, is once again more focused on sex and drinking than on gun-blazing action, more focused on the "leisure" in Leisure Books.
Our hero Patrick Shannon is still a globe-trotting spy who likes his Jameson's whiskey and his women. In fact the novel opens with not one but three girls hitting on Shannon as he swims in the pool while on vacation in Montego Bay, and they all go up to his hotel room for a little lovin'. As I wrote in my previous review, Shannon is incredibly idealized, but this series has to be a satire or spoof of the genre...I mean, we learn in this volume that Shannon is even a best-selling author, churning out a series of books about a spy, all of them based on his "real life" missions.
Quinn takes his good ol' time setting up the plot. Apparently some voodoo cult in New York City is hacking up hookers and leaving their mutilated corpses laying around...but who cares, 'cause Shannon's on vacation and he's getting laid. He soaks up the sights with a friend who lives down here, eventually ending up in a swanky club where a gorgeous black lady dances for the audience. One lucky member can share a drink with her if he can do the limbo, and sure enough, Shannon's the man. But the lady doesn't just have a drink with him; she of course goes back to his place.
I should mention here that though there is quite a bit of sex in Shallow Grave, it isn't the page-filling gratuitous kind like one would find in The Baroness. Yet for all of that Quinn doesn't dole out the sexual euphemisms that Paul Kenyon is known for. In other words, he calls a cock a cock.
Eventually Shannon returns to his penthouse suite in Manhattan, where you will recall he lives in ultra-swank '70s style, complete with a bedroom which is furnished with mirrored walls and ceiling. His stalwart companion Joe-Dad is there, the half-Chinese/half-black sidekick who serves up drinks, meals, and politically-incorrect banter. And too there's Shannon's stacked and gorgeous prostitute best friend, who is as ever in love with Shannon.
This time Quinn better works the lady into the plot; it's her friends who are showing up dead, prostitutes whose mutilated and heroin-ridden corpses are popping up about NYC. So she plays a much larger part in Shallow Grave than in The Undertaker, even going out on reconnoiter missions with Shannon and Joe-Dad (who himself plays a larger role here).
But again our man Quinn is more concerned with the good times. Rather than jumping right into the case, Shannon instead bides his time, more focused on looking out from his penthouse view and belaboring over the misery of the world while sipping on some Jameson's. As in the previous book Shannon drinks a whole bunch here, and I still say a case could be made for an "alternate reading" of the text, that Shannon in "reality" is a drunk who lives in his own fantasy world. Hell, the "bestselling writer" tag added with this volume only clinches it. Maybe the "real" Patrick Shannon is a drunk hack who churns out James Bond rip-offs while living in his own imaginary, booze-filled world.
Anyway this has nothing to do with the plot itself. Finally Shannon becomes involved, demanding that his boss, "Number One," assign him to the case. Shannon's method of research is so casual as to be hilarious; he basically just looks around New York City and waits for another body to show up. Quinn keeps the ball rolling with lurid scenes of hookers getting murdered every few chapters. A voodoo cult has sprung up in the city, and it likes to gather together, pound the voodoo drums, and sacrifice heroin-ravaged hookers.
Despite all of this, Quinn is still more interested in the non-action stuff. He even manages to slip in long flashbacks of not only Shannon's bio, but also how he met his prostitute best friend/occasional lover (whose name I have obviously forgotten and am too lazy to look up). It's funny, really, and while it might sound annoying it's actually fun just because it's so goofy and so unconcerned with action or thrills. In many ways Jake Quinn is like the alternate universe version of Joseph Rosenberger. Where Rosenbger is all action, all of the time, Quinn holds off on the action until absolutely necessary, and then dispenses with it quickly.
Strangely enough I really enjoyed Shallow Grave. In fact I enjoyed it even more than The Undertaker, which despite being a bit more lurid (what with its dwarf villain who wanted to hack off Shannon's manhood and have it sewn on his own body...!), was actually a bit more boring. Actually, it's that Shallow Grave is just so super-'70s.
There's a great website/blog called Plaid Stallions, which is devoted to shaggy '70s pop culture. The owner of that blog created a character to personify the he-males of 1970s fashion and lifestyle ads, and called him Brick Mantooth. Well, if Brick Mantooth starred in a men's adventure series, it would be very much like Shannon.
And is it just me, or does it look like Shannon's punching Gerald Ford on the bottom left of the cover?

Hope you are getting some sleep tonight friend.

Just a thought on the companion/buddy issue. Possibly you could contact the Big Brother agency in your area. I know this is thinking a bit out of the box for that organization but who knows - it might lead to a good, local "friendship(s)" for Kevin. That way - hopefully - you can avoid the problems that might arise with an ad.
Thinking good thoughts for all of you.

Hope that you managed to get some rest tonight - you AND Kevin, because you both need and deserve it.
I will be away for about a week on a trip so might not be commenting as much as usual, but still thinking and praying for you guys and sending good thoughts your way!
(They'll just be coming from Atlanta, not Southern California, for a week. :) LOL)

Hi Leslie, I'm currently in a masters of social work program and in one of my classes we have to great our own "social innovation" aka nonprofit as part of the coursework. After listening to your struggles to find Kevin a buddy my social innovation will deal with that. Would it be possible to get a general idea of what you would like that person to do/need fulfil? After the class I'm going to try to make it a reality as well so I'd love to pick your brain. I am in DC so if you need anything while your up here please let me know. My email is on my blog.

I hope you got some answers about the surgery being postponed. I can see why Kevin is going to be disappointed. I've been thinking of you today, praying that it will go well when you tell him.
Hope you had a better night last night! You're all in my thoughts and prayers.

Theme: Plus Signs — Three blocks of black squares look like plus signs and the first three (four?) letters of each theme answer can be a word having to do with addition.
Theme answers:
- 16A: Rikishi's contest (SUMO MATCH).
- 28A: City known as the political capital of Africa (ADDIS ABABA).
- 43A: Pacific Northwest cedar monuments (TOTEM POLES).
- 55A: The three in this grid are a hint to the starts of 16-, 28- and 43-Across (PLUS SIGNS).
This puzzle was … not my favorite. I did notice the unusual grid pattern right off the bat, so that helped with the theme. I'm not entirely sure if the relevant part of the last theme answer is TOT or TOTE. Both have dictionary support for fitting with the theme. I want to say it's TOT so that each of the three theme answers starts out with three theme letters to go along with the three plus signs in the grid. So, okay, let's go with that.
Tons of crosswordese and uninteresting fill in this one. A few gems distinguish themselves from the crowd:
- 35A: Reorganize, and then some (SHAKE UP).
- 7D: Prom corsage (ORCHID).
- 11D: Prepare for the hot tub (DISROBE).
- 36D: Jeter's 3,000th hit, e.g. (HOME RUN).
Crosswordese 101 Round-up:
- 1A: Altar constellation (ARA).
- 22A: Bit for the dog bowl (ORT).
- 25A: Plaintive wind, perhaps (OBOE).
- 26A: First-year law student (ONE-L).
- 33A: Polo Grounds #4 (OTT).
- 47A: Scandinavian saint (OLAF).
- 29D: "The Clan of the Cave Bear" writer (AUEL).

Woman Loses Disability Over Facebook Pics
Are you on medical leave for depression? You better make sure your Facebook profile doesn't show you having too much fun.
A Canadian woman lost the monthly sick-leave benefits she was receiving for depression after her insurance company said that Facebook photos of the woman on a beach and at her birthday party proved that she was no longer suffering from the disease, CBC News reports.
Nathalie Blanchard is an IBM employee in Quebec, but has been on leave for major depression for the past year. Her insurance company, Manulife, gained access to her profile pictures, however, and cut off her benefits in the fall.
Blanchard does not know how Manulife saw her Facebook profile since it is restricted to her friends. She said she attended the events in question at the suggestion of her doctor, and that she informed Manulife about her vacation.
"In the moment I'm happy, but before and after I have the same problems" as before, she told CBC.
Manulife confirmed that it uses social networking sites like Facebook to investigate claims, but said it "would not deny or terminate a valid claim solely based on information published on websites such as Facebook."
Blanchard is fighting to have the benefits reinstated.

Google gains by creating apps for the enemy
For many people, smartphone shopping comes down to a choice of Apple's iPhone or one powered by Google's Android software.
But now consumers can get an iPhone and fill it with Google.
Google has become one of the most prolific and popular developers of apps for the iPhone, in effect helping its competitor make more appealing products — even as relations between the companies have deteriorated.
While some of its internet services were built into the iPhone from the beginning, Google has stepped up its presence in the last eight months, pumping out major new iPhone apps or significantly improving old ones. It also has expanded efforts to hire developers who can make more such apps.
A maps app Google released in December has been the most downloaded program for the iPhone for much of the last month. The company has cranked out a YouTube app, an iPhone version of its Chrome Web browser and better software for gaining access to its Gmail service. Two dozen iPhone apps from Google are available on Apple's App Store, with variations for the iPad.
Google's strategy may look self-defeating at first. But analysts and technology executives say it is simply acknowledging the obvious: there is an enormous market of avid iPhone users it wants to reach, an audience that is a target for ads and that can yield a bonanza of data that will allow Google to improve the online products that produce much of its profits.
Google's support for the iPhone also looks like a win for Apple, which, after all, makes just as much money when it sells an iPhone that is used to gain access to Google services. But potential risks lie in Google's growing presence on Apple's devices, especially when it comes to apps that replace basic functions like web browsing, maps and email.
iPhone users who spend much of their time in Google apps could deprive Apple of valuable data it needs to improve its own online services like maps. And those apps could help Google build a deeper connection with users that makes them more likely to switch entirely to Android smartphones later.
"The best way to recruit users to those devices is to get them using the services," said Chris Silva, a mobile analyst at Altimeter Group, a tech industry research business.
"Find them where they are, get them using the services and ramp them up so when they have devices equivalent to the iPhone, they are already in the market."
Early in the iPhone era, Steve Jobs, the company's former chief executive, who died in October 2011, did not want Apple to approve any apps for the device that replaced its core functions, one former senior Apple employee said.
Apple executives have long believed that they would need to build up many of the same services that Google offers to compete long-term in the mobile market, according to this person, who did not want to be named.
Eventually, under scrutiny from federal regulators, Apple softened its stance and began allowing apps for the iPhone, like web browsers, that competed with important built-in apps.
Apple spokeswoman Natalie Kerris declined to comment for this article.
Apple has moved to reduce the presence of Google services in apps that come installed on its phones. Last year it removed the YouTube app — one that Apple created for the earliest iPhones so they would have access to YouTube videos. It also stopped using Google data to power its mapping application.
In its place, Apple began using its own maps service, which has been widely criticised for mistakes, including misplaced landmarks and inaccurate addresses. Timothy Cook, Apple's chief executive, issued a rare apology in September for its maps product and later shook up the company's management ranks, in part because of the problems.
Apple's decision to stop including Google's services on its devices forced Google to quickly ramp up its own software development for Apple's mobile operating system, iOS. While Google had engineers devoted to iOS projects, it had to hire outsiders to help quickly design a Google Maps app for the iPhone.
That app appears to be a huge hit. Widely praised by technology reviewers, Google Maps for the iPhone was downloaded more than 10 million times in the 48 hours after its release in December, Jeff Huber, a Google senior vice president, said in an online post at the time.
Other Google apps are among the most commonly used on the iPhone. In November there were 11.8 million unique users of a new Google-created YouTube app for the iPhone in the United States, and 6.4 million users of its Google Search app, placing them both in the top 20 list of iPhone apps with the biggest audience, according to Nielsen.
In October, Google updated its search application for the iPhone with voice capabilities that more closely resembled those of Siri, the often-maligned virtual assistant included in the iPhone.
Google also ramped up its efforts last year to hire more iOS developers, many of whom might be unlikely to consider working for the company because of its focus on promoting the Android operating system on mobile devices. In July, Google bought Sparrow, a Paris-based startup that made a popular app for using Gmail on the iPhone, and moved some of its engineers to Silicon Valley.
In December, it began posting web ads to recruit iOS developers, providing a link to a Q&A on the subject with the headline, "Wait, Google has iOS mobile apps teams?"
Chris Hulbert, a freelance programmer who spent three months working for Google in Australia last year, wrote a blog post in which he compared working on iOS apps to "working behind enemy lines".
Google said it had not changed its strategy on Apple devices, but rather was continuing to build apps for all devices.
"Our goal is to make a simple, easy-to-use Google experience available to as many people as possible," said Christopher Katsaros, a Google spokesman.
"We've developed apps for iOS for some time now, and we're delighted to see the recent enthusiasm for them."
Unlike Apple, Google makes its money not from selling phones but from selling ads that appear on those phones. So it cares less about which phone a consumer uses and more about whether that consumer uses Google apps — and shares data with Google, and sees Google ads.
When a consumer uses Chrome on the desktop at work, for instance, and then opens the same tabs and continues using Chrome on the consumer's phones elsewhere, Google knows much more about that consumer's behaviour, including the consumer's location and the searches.
The company's hunger for such data has, of course, raised privacy concerns.
Chetan Sharma, an independent mobile analyst, says Google's focus on iOS should concern Apple.
"It just pushes Apple to up their game in software," he said. "They're kind of behind."

News tagged with phylogeny
Sorry, no news articles match your request. Your search criteria may be too narrow.
In biology, phylogenetics (pronounced /faɪlɵdʒɪˈnɛtɪks/) is the study of evolutionary relatedness among groups of organisms (e.g. species, populations), which is discovered through molecular sequencing data and morphological data matrices. The term phylogenetics derives from the Greek terms phyle (φυλή) and phylon (φῦλον), denoting "tribe" and "race"; and the term genetikos (γενετικός), denoting "relative to birth", from genesis (γένεσις) "birth".
Taxonomy, the classification, identification, and naming of organisms, is richly informed by phylogenetics, but remains methodologically and logically distinct. The fields of phylogenetics and taxonomy overlap in the science of phylogenetic systematics — one methodology, cladism (also cladistics) shared derived characters (synapomorphies) used to create ancestor-descendant trees (cladograms) and delimit taxa (clades). In biological systematics as a whole, phylogenetic analyses have become essential in researching the evolutionary tree of life.

Another broken bat injury in MLB
During a game between the Rangers and the Blue Jays last night, home plate umpire Kerwin Danley left the field on a stretcher after being hit in the head by a broken bat in the sixth inning, according to this story, which reports that Danley was taken to the hospital with a possible concussion.
The injury comes at the start of a season in which Major League Baseball is using upgraded bats. The league announced in December that bats would have their own serial numbers and ink markings so it could track which are more susceptible to breaking. (Thanks to Rosica Strategic Public Relations for noting the issue this morning in a release).
MLB made the move to in an effort to cut down on the number of bats that are broken during games, and in turn, increase safety for players, fans and officials. In a recent study, the league found that more than 2,200 bats broke during a 2-month span last summer. One incident involved a fan getting hit in the head by Todd Helton's broken bat during a Rockies/Dodgers game. She suffered two jaw fractures.
This season, the league's health and advisory committee will study how much a bat's material, design and drying methods contribute to the number of breakages.
