NORMAN — Issues surrounding those metallic figurines that have been removed from atop city street signs are rising again — with the matter heading the agenda of the next McAlester City Council meeting, set for 6 p.m. Tuesday in the council chambers at city hall.
Controversy has surrounded McAlester City Manager Pete Stasiak's decision earlier this year to order workers to remove nine metallic silhouettes including crosses or other Christian religious symbols from atop street signs in the city.
However, the one metallic silhouette specifically identified at the center of the controversy in a resolution passed by a church-related organization in August — and subsequently cited in McAlester City Council agendas concerning the matter — was never removed in the first place, the News-Capital has confirmed.
The issue began around the city's alleged removal of a figurine depicting an individual of the U.S. military kneeling in prayer from atop a street sign at a Third Street intersection in McAlester.
That followed demands that it be reinstalled.
As the controversy continued, the News-Capital examined the nine silhouettes which were removed earlier this year — but didn't find the alleged Third Street intersection silhouette among them.
However, a check of the Third Street and Choctaw Avenue intersection of the silhouettes still in place showed a figurine of what appeared to be an American soldier kneeling in what could be considered silent prayer.
It's still atop the street sign on the northwest corner of the Third Street and Choctaw Avenue intersection, the one nearest to the First National Bank and Trust.
A similar one is in place atop one of the street signs at Carl Albert Parkway and Strong Avenue intersection.
Asked Friday evening if the silhouette at the Third Street and Choctaw Avenue intersection had ever been removed, Stasiak said it wasn't.
Stasiak also acknowledged that he hadn't driven by and looked at that particular intersection.
James Prince, chair of the Gaines Creek Association of Free Will Baptist executive board, was informed that the silhouette depicting a military man kneeling in what appeared to be prayer was still in place. He also acknowledged at that time that he hadn't checked all of the silhouettes.
He said the Gaines Creek Association's original resolution had been based on a report from a Tulsa television station.
The situation arose after a total of nine of the figures were among 125 different black metal silhouettes given as a gift to the city of McAlester to depict the area's tradition and culture.
Stasiak had ordered nine of the figures removed after he said he received a complaint that some silhouettes incorporated a cross and allegations that made it unconstitutional.
Following those actions, the Gaines Creek Association of Free Will Baptist passed its resolution.
The resolution passed by the Gaines Creek Association of Free Will Baptist on Aug. 4 states the following: "Be it resolved that the Gaines Creek Association of Free Will Baptist stand opposed to the removal of figurines depicting U.S. military kneeling in silent prayer from the Third Street intersection in McAlester."
Meanwhile, as stated on the agenda for Tuesday night's city council meeting, the agenda item calls for "discussion and possible action on a resolution put forward by the Gaines Creek Association of Free Will Baptist opposing the removal of figures depicting U.S. military kneeling in silent prayer from the Third Street intersection and asking the city of McAlester to reverse the decision and reinstall the silhouette."
Previous discussions have ranged far beyond that single figurine at the Third Street intersection, to touch on the nine figurines containing crosses or other Christian imagery that were removed by the city earlier this year.
The city council had previously tabled the matter, then set it aside until more legal advice could be obtained. It has been placed on the agenda again, following more action by the Gaines Creek Association of Free Will Baptist, which passed a resolution on Nov. 3, this time requesting "that the cross removal issue be an agenda item at the next city council meeting."

What Is Georges St-Pierre's 3-Letter Nickname?
You may choose an icon for your message from this list
Will turn www.example.com into [URL]http://www.example.com[/URL].
I think it ought to be Tanner, he is the former champ who has been impressive again lately and Silva is the newcomer (to UFC). I think at this point Tanner gives him the best fight. The only other person on the list who comes close is the Crow but he's coming off a loss so I think he should go back down a bit.
i would love to see him beat the crap out of ed herman next, but i'm ufc will just feed ed bums for a few months other than loseui or however you spell his name
I would vote for Marquardt, but he's not on there.
I believe that Silva should really fight Franklin.... however I voted for Loiseau, simply because you need to build him a bit more before you put him up against Franklin.
Everyone here knows Silva's background and his record etc. The casual fan doesn't. They need to put someone else tough in front of him to really build an interest for a PPV to pull big #s IMHO.
Nate does have a broken back right now. I don't think it should be swick or david, as if david won then it would be another rematch which in my eyes is way to soon. I think it should be Anderson vs Lister (#1 contender), swick vs david (future #1 contender, however if david wins, he should fight the loser of the lister/anderson match, then get his title shot against MWC).
i voted Franklin.
actually i think it should be the winner of the crow vs. quick swick to determine who he fights next. And you should take quarry off that list, doesnt he have a broken back right now
I voted for Loiseau. I wanna see the Franklin fight most, but I agree it's too soon and would be better (unless one of them lose and fuck it up) if Silva got one more win and Franklin came back with a win after the long lay off.
i voted for swick

title shot upon return? that would be absurd! props for being unbeaten in 6 years or so and 16 fights but he got KOed and broken back to back. he has to string together a couple of wins first.
The only way I could see Silva getting an immediate title fight is if he comes back has a fight lined up then gets pulled to step in as an injury replacement on short notice.
Bisping sounds good if he decides to come back.

I can't see that happening. Not just his age, but we need to see how he will fight after this.
If Anderson comes back and gets another immediate title shot I'll throw up in my mouth.

I think doing an immediate rematch would be bad for Silva and bad for business. tbh, Silva is going to need a fight before he's ready to start thinking about the title...and Silva may just get one more win and call it a career. Who knows? If Weidman beats Vitor, you can set-up Vitor/Silva II, if Vitor beats Weidman, things change a bit.
I do think Bisping is a good option as a return fight. Sure, we may all cry if Bisping won, but the fight makes sense if Bisping wins his next fight.
I'd say make Silva fight two more, then fight for the title if he wins both.
Great, the ones that actually thought Bisping had a chance (delusional before), will now have him fight a broken Silva and claim "see Bisping is awesome!".
I'm glad somebody else finally said it...
Corey Hill's sobering advice for Anderson Silva and his return from a broken leg
"My first words to my manager (were), 'Who broke their leg?'" Hill, 35, told MMAjunkie.
When told it was Silva, and that the former champ had suffered the same injury he had five years ago on the same month – in the same round – he let out a cry of disbelief.
"I couldn't wish that on anybody, friend or foe," said Hill, who first stepped onto the national stage as a cast member on the fifth season of the UFC's long-running reality series, "The Ultimate Fighter."
Since then, there have been more phone calls, all of them asking for his reaction to Silva's injury, which aired Dec. 28 on pay-per-view at the UFC's annual year-end event. Not surprisingly, it's brought up a lot of old memories.
"Some good, but obviously a lot of bad," Hill said. "The pain associated with any compound fracture is something to deal with in and of itself, (as are) some of the struggles my family endured during that time. We all kind of reflected and found some bright points."
Hill's injury didn't end his career, nor did it fracture his family, though it threatened to do both years after it happened. He said he's more mentally tough than he used to be, and his resolve is stronger than ever. He is still pushing toward his dream of being a UFC champion.
Physically, though, he said, "I'll never, ever be the same as when I stepped into that cage Dec. 10, 2008. But that's the territory you live with when you sign the contract."
"The biggest thing that he's going to face is the aspect of, we're human warriors and gladiators, so to speak – we make our living getting in the cage and going to war," Hill said. "So he's going to have that question – 'My body failed me. Is that a sign for me? Is that a sign for me to leave this alone?' He's going to have doubts about the whys.
"The big thing with me was, 'Why me, why now?' Only God knows those answers."
As Silva recovers, Hill said, he could also be subject to fame's cruel underbelly.
"There's a lot of people out there that are going to say, 'We're glad that happened to you,'" he said. "He's going to experience the insensitivity of people. I think a lot of people downplay how serious this is for him, or anybody on that magnitude of a stage – to be a main event, worldwide, and to have that happen. It sounds crazy, but he's going to deal with some embarrassment."
"It just felt like [I] was cut from the UFC because of an injury, not for performance, and that was just something I couldn't live with. If I'm not good enough – if I lose, losing is a part of the sport. But to have my livelihood stripped because of this injury and be on the outskirts looking in, watching the success of other fighters, and maybe some fighters that I feel I can compete with in the division, [was] just very difficult."
Although the UFC paid for Hill's surgery to fix his leg, he said the cost of his ongoing treatment, combined with his lack of fight income, prompted him to move his family into his parents' house.
"We may have walked away with 20 grand (for the Hartt fight), and for that injury, it doesn't measure up," said Hill, who lives in Spring Hill, Fla., and is a father of three. "I have a condition called 'drop toe' that we were no longer able to get treatment on. Two years after, I was still having surgeries from the initial injuries.
"I have several toes that don't extend any more. And we all know you get your power from your feet. … I appreciate the UFC and everything they did because the surgery alone was quite a big deal.
"But still, paying for that doesn't pay for the bills and your cost of living. That was my fourth professional fight ever, so to have that happen, we not only fell in the hole – we were under the hole."
Hill was resolved, however, to continue his career and prove he was worthy of fighting in the UFC. On the reality show, he was one of the most driven and eager to learn from other cast members with far more experience.
Today, that hunger remains, though he also is embracing another grind – the life of a student. He is a business administration major at a local college.
* * * *
Hill continues to train at Universal Martial Arts in Spring Hill. He now fights at welterweight, which fills him out from his years as a beanpole lightweight. While he lacks training partners of his stature and pro experience, he makes no excuses for the trajectory of his career.
"We're still at it," Hill said. "It seems to be different rules for different guys. But that's life. You don't cry over spilled milk. The one thing I will not do is give up."
Although he wonders whether concerns over liability would make the UFC hesitant to bring him back, he wants one last shot, whether or not he's physically the same man he was when he last stepped into the octagon.
Thankfully, he said, he still has the support of his family, who lived with him through one of the most difficult experiences of his life.
This past Sunday, his wife – "the one with the strong stomach," he said – found the Silva fight online and told him what happened. He didn't want to watch.
It took him two years to watch his own fight, after all.
"To be honest, you will never truly recover," Hill said. "I feel like I've grown, I feel like I'm blessed to be here, and I'm blessed to continue fighting. But as far as being 100 percent, it's not going to happen."

Anyway, I'm sure that he will make a speedy recovery and look to redeem himself with a fight as soon as possible. So I can't wait to see him fight again.
Its called the Brazilian Excuse. They were preparing it.
Originally Posted by KevoOnTheRadio

But this might be their only chance to do that fight, and the UFC has been salivating over the thought of Silva and Bisping headlining a major card in London. It would be perfect for their "European Tour" that they have planned for Spring/Summer. Put Conor Mcgregor in there as the co-headline, throw that bitch in Wembley Stadium and put a bow on it.
Good call I could definetly see that happening

RALEIGH — Its an ordinary roll of chicken wire, just like youd buy at a hardware store (which is, in fact, where it came from). But where most people would see something to enclose chickens, Jason Graves saw a music-making device. Placing it on a metal trashcan lid in his home studio, he took up a bow to demonstrate.
You get a lot of vibration and reverb, Graves said. Doing it on the lid gives it a whole other level of resonance. And if you bow this just right
Graves paused to saw at it a bit.
you get this, he continued, raising his voice to be heard over the mesmerizing drone of a metallic screech that sounded like well, something youd hear as a sound effect in a movie score. And thats exactly how Graves used it on the soundtrack to Tomb Raider, a high-profile computer game that hits stores on Tuesday.
Its been a 2-1/2-year odyssey to produce the 210 minutes of music in the game, which reboots the Lara Croft franchise thats been around since the mid-1990s. The games theme is A Survivor Is Born, and Crystal Dynamics wanted something iconic to set it apart from previous incarnations. So the California-based game developer enlisted Graves, a Raleigh composer who has been doing game scores for more than a decade, most notably the award-winning soundtrack to the 2008 horror game Dead Space.
Jason has done a lot of work on successful, award-winning games with 60-piece orchestras, said Karl Stewart, global brand director for Tomb Raider. But he was more excited about the intimacy of creating his own signature soundtrack to the game. He was a very big part of bringing it along, really helped cement the music as a signature of the game.
Like 2005s Batman Begins, which reset the Batman series of movies by reimagining the beginning of his story, Tomb Raider aims to remake the Lara Croft game series by going back to its title characters origins. It finds the heroine stranded on an uncharted island in the Pacific, where she battles against tribes of castaways known as scavengers.
The games visual imagery features jagged, rickety shantytowns constructed by the scavengers. That inspired Graves to play scavenger himself to come up with matching sound effects within his orchestral compositions. He started looking for things to bang on, including the trashcan orchestra and his wifes old violin, which hed bang on in various ways.
Id use different kinds of mallets, he said. Anything to get interesting, different textures. Letting no parts go unused.
Eventually, Graves decided he needed a broader sonic palette, which required venturing beyond his own backyard. But he didnt have to go far.
A custom-built percussion instrument
Right down the street from Graves Boylan Heights house is the workshop of Matt McConnell, a sculptor who specializes in large-scale installations. After a series of visits to borrow pieces of metal for different percussion sounds, Graves had a brainstorm.
What if McConnell custom-built a percussion instrument especially for Tomb Raider? Something with a look as well as a sound that fit the environment of the game?
McConnell set to work experimenting. On a recent morning, he showed off some of the prototype parts he used to design it, including a series of steel-tube chimes of various lengths and textures. Taking up a handmade bow (designed to be similar to the bow Lara Croft uses to shoot arrows in the game), he demonstrated the sounds to be had from an overturned 5-gallon cooking pot with metal spikes of varying lengths welded in place.
We needed a resonating chamber, McConnell said. My first test was a galvanized bucket, which was horrible and didnt work at all. We also explored wooden blocks, which wed suspend in a bucket and bang. But we abandoned wood pretty quickly and headed in this direction. I was building a bunch of things that were about physical texture and aggression balanced against the purity of the sound.
Over about a year, McConnell tinkered with pieces, perfecting various sounds and tones as per Graves instructions. Graves would also give McConnell music to listen to while working on the instrument, to get in the proper mood.
Hed hone in on something, bring it back and have me modify things, McConnell said. There were textural details and sound qualities he needed to reflect the scavengers, the island, the tools Lara used. How it all fit together sonically was something I didnt understand. You can bang on anything. But take someone like Jason, who has amazing abilities and rhythm and can really play, and its something else. I just tap on things; he makes them sing.
Orchestral melodies with an edge
Up the street, meanwhile, Graves was composing the Tomb Raider soundtrack, which he called the next step beyond the spooky music on Dead Space. The game has a lot of melodic orchestral themes, which Graves recorded on synthesizer. But the off-kilter percussion effects percolating throughout give it an edge, and McConnells creation was a key part of that.
What finally emerged was an 8-foot-tall piece of sonic sculpture simply dubbed the instrument. It looks vaguely tribal and ceremonial, equal parts hut, altar, wind chime and birdfeeder, surrounded by thin and naked tree branches. You can bow it or beat it to produce a startling array of sounds and tones, although not the sort youd find in music books.
Everything about the instruments sound was designed to be just a little bit off-key and not on-tone, to fit the games environment, said McConnell. Theres a direct link from character and environment straight to the instrument. Jason was always pushing me to be more aggressive in sound and texture. He had an idea of the quality of sound he wanted to go with the pictures, and the physical texture was a part of that.
That matched the ambition of the games orchestral score, which is every bit as grand and cinematic as a major motion picture. Twenty pieces are being released as an original-soundtrack album, also out on Tuesday.
Jasons overture piece is 12 minutes long, and listening to it gives you the feel of the entire game from start to finish, said Crystal Dynamics Stewart. That sort of thing is done a lot in movies, but Ive never seen it done in games before.
Tuesdays release day will also see the instrument being unveiled in its new home, the lobby of Crystal Dynamics California headquarters. It will be on display and available for visitors to bang around on.
Theres also an app, The Final Hours of Tomb Raider, which allows people to play the instrument on their mobile devices (also available Tuesday, on iTunes).
But the instrument is not something that will ever be physically mass-produced.
Id make another if Crystal Dynamics asked, but theres no way to make it the same, McConnell said.
I could make the same shapes and proportions, it would look similar, but the sound would be different. You cant really repeat the process. This was a sort of revolutionary integration of music and sculpture that previously had not existed for me.

---- — The nighttime fire that left a 15-year-old Gloucester girl unconscious and unresponsive last night and in intensive care at a Boston hospital this morning, firefighters are saying, was accidental and likely caused by combustibles left too close to a floor lamp in an upstairs bedroom of the two-apartment Summer St. house.
A spokesman at Mass. General Hospital told the Times that the girl, identified as Victoria McCabe, of the 36 Summer St. house was in the intensive care at the hospital this morning, but would not comment further on her condition.
When firefighters arrived on scene about 8:30 p.m., they found four residents — two from the burning apartment and two from the adjacent apartment within the building — outside of the house. The girl's 17-year-old brother lay sprawled out on the ground, according to Deputy Steve Aiello, who was on scene at the fire.
"Her brother had attempted to get her out of the building by trying to make it to the second floor," Aiello said this morning. "He made a valiant attempt to get to her. He had singed eyebrows and inhaled smoke."
The brother was transported to Addison Gilbert Hospital for smoke inhalation last night, Aiello said.
According to fire officials, the girl's mother and brother had been on the first floor of the apartment when the fire broke out in the vacant upstairs bedroom. The 15-year-old girl was in her upstairs bedroom, the rear room in the upper floor of the apartment.
"He told us the last time he saw her she was at the doorway of her bedroom," Aiello said.
Shortly after the fire began to burn — likely when a floor lamp burnt some paper on the floor of a vacant second floor bedroom, Aiello said — the heavy smoke traveling toward McCabe's room would have begun to disorient her, Aiello said. The smoke, along with heat and fire trapped the young girl.
A group of firefighters burst into the house, using a hose to clear the way, while others slung a ladder up to her window. The teams reached McCabe about the same time, finding her unconscious in the bedroom, Aiello said.
They then carried her down through the house and outside, where she was "unconscious and unresponsive," according to radio reports at the scene.
McCabe was transported by ambulance to Addison Gilbert Hospital with her brother, then later driven by ambulance to Mass General Hospital, where she remained this morning.
The fire did not travel to the second apartment of the home, though two residents evacuated from that apartment, Aiello said.
We will look to update this story online later today at gloucestertimes.com as more information becomes available. For more coverage, look to tomorrow's print and online editions of the Gloucester Daily Times and gloucestertimes.com.

The Alaska Native Epidemiology Center (ANEC) National Umbrella Cooperative Agreement (NUCA) Project will address the disproportionately high prevalence of intimate partner violence and sexual violence in the American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) population. This project will work to fill gaps in knowledge and data and disseminate the results to Tribal and national leaders, program planners and program directors in Alaska. ANEC will partner with the Alaskan Native Tribal Health Consortium, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, EpiCenter, University of Alaska's Justice Center, the State of Alaska's Council on Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault to conduct a comprehensive overview of existing data on intimate partner violence and sexual violence affecting AI/AN. Based on the information collected, the project team will develop a program of research on violence against AI/AN women, build evaluation capacity by assisting partners with the evaluation of an intimate partner violence prevention curriculum for Alaskan schools and write and disseminate reports in order to increase awareness of intimate partner violence and sexual violence in AI/AN populations. The intended outcomes of this project include increased volume and quality of data on intimate partner violence and sexual violence in AI/AN populations, improved capacity of data processing in organizations that focus on AI/AN intimate partner violence and sexual violence, and the development of an outline for a national baseline study on violence against AI/AN women. Project records and survey methods will be reviewed periodically in order to evaluate the program's success in achieving the intended outcomes, as well as its ability to produce deliverables.

Manassas baker Laura Brletic is putting her own spin on the Girl Scout cookie craze and the masses are eating it up—literally.
Confections Cupcakery is serving up Samoas, Thin Mint and Tagalong cupcakes this month and isn't stopping until they run out.
The insanely popular cupcakes are made by what Brletic calls "enhancing" her existing recipes.
For example, the thin mint cupcakes are made from her basic chocolate cupcake batter with a little mint extract, while the Tagalongs cupcakes are a variation of her peanut butter cupcake recipe.
Both have cookie crumble baked into the batter, she said.
What's your favorite Confections cupcake? Tell us in the comments.
When asked about her decision to make cupcakes out of just those three, Brietic said it's because those cookies are her personal favorites.
"I do not make anything as a cupcake that I do not love," she said. "A shortbread cupcake seems very plain to me. I will probably never make that into a cupcake."
Brletic said Confections is a big supporter of the Girl Scouts; several troops have toured Confections and decorated cupcakes there to earn cupcake badges.
Confections has been in business since 2010, but the Girl Scout cookie cupcakes came about last year.
"Last year it was a really big hit," she said. "This year it is even more popular. I've purchased 100 boxes from Girl Scouts and I'll probably have to buy more … I can easily post on Facebook and I'll have Girl Scouts who would gladly sell me more."
She's thinking of freezing a few boxes so she can make the cupcakes later in the year.
"Brides come in and want (Girl Scout) cupcakes for their wedding," she said. "So I'll freeze a few boxes so I can make it for their wedding in October."
"Baskin-Robbins of Cupcakes"
Brletic started out baking cupcakes as a hobby in her Woodbridge home about five years ago.
"I had quite a little following," she said.
The home business grew into a store front with 19 employees who bake some 1,500 cupcakes a day.
She's still doing the math, but she thinks 500,000 cupcakes were sold in 2012, she said.
The store has about 26 flavors a day and tries to have small quantities of each flavor so she can have more of a selection for her patrons.
"We are the Baskin-Robbins of cupcakes," she said.
That is apparently a good business model; she has customers who come in two or three times a week.
The Confections delivery service is also very popular.
"It's just like ordering a pizza; we can't have it to you in 15 minutes, but if you call us around noon and want a delivery at 4 (p.m.) we can probably make that happen," Brletic said.
Custom orders and large quantities may require a little more notice, but the staff is happy to work with the customer to get the order filled.
The minimum order is a dozen and the delivery charge is just $5 within a 10-mile radius and $20 outside of that zone, she said.
"We actually deliver to DC a lot," she said. "I do want to expand, but I'll probably do it in Woodbridge. I'm born and raised in Woodbridge."
The Hoadly Road store would still be the primary location, she said.
And she's even thinking about a cupcake truck.
"Instead of an ice cream truck coming through your neighborhood, they'll be a cupcake truck," she said.

Chances for a Tizen Smartphone Entry
Bada Overreach
Nevertheless, cracks may be appearing in Tizen's developer tech armor due to decisions relating to overreach of a scheduled Bada migration. An industry insider refuses cooperation in this area, saying instead "I am not going to be the guy who is asked why is Bada used now instead of EFL?", clearly fearing that Tizen's pristine and future-proof architecture may be infected with legacy Bada logic.
The planned Bada migration to Tizen is a recent policy development and is dynamic in nature. Some fear a future overreach when integrating Bada logic.
Market Trend Analysis
High-ranking corporate policy-makers happily state their optimism of the approaching Tizen smartphone market entry. Samsung executive VP Jong-Deok Choi expresses his assurance that, "We have very high expectations", and "Tizen is very real." But what strategy is behind the policy of strong industrial support for Tizen's rollout? To understand the various corporate strategies involved in shaping Tizen's future, as well as obtaining a realistic interpretation of Tizen's environmental market trends, informed opinions by diverse analysts give added value.
We ask if Samsung could be using Tizen as a hedge against Android's ever-growing market dominance, leading OEMs and chip-makers to play cat and mouse in adapting to the fragmented and controlling Android platform. Analysts do speculate along these lines that since Google acquired Motorola Mobility, Samsung and other smartphone manufacturers would be seeking alternatives to Google's Android. Android could become the preferred platform for Motorola, which likely would put competing manufacturers at a disadvantage.
Analysts at Gartner, IDC and Strategy Analytics are keeping a watchful eye on Tizen and its competitors. Some forecast an increased market share at Android's expense.
Gartner Figures
Gartner's latest figures put Android's market share at nearly 75% of world-wide smartphone adoption. "With new OSes coming to market, such as Tizen, Firefox and Jolla, we expect some market share to be eroded but not enough to question Android's volume leadership", states Gartner principal research analyst Anshul Gupta.
IDC Research
Indeed, as Android adoption has shot sky-high, a number of new mobile platform contenders have lined up to compete. IDC mobile-phone research manager Ramon Llamas and IDC worldwide quarterly mobile-phone tracker senior research analyst Kevin Restivo remark that "This is shaping up to be a pivotal year for the open-source operating system, as multiple platforms, including Mozilla, SailFish, Tizen and Ubuntu are expected to introduce or launch their first smartphones in the coming months."
Strategy Analytics
Strategy Analytics analyst Scott Bicheno continues, "Android will remain the dominant smartphone OS for the next few years, but its share will peak in 2013, while the global share of iOS is unlikely to grow much further so long as Apple maintains its premium-tier-only strategy. While Microsoft's market share will remain small in 2013, it will emerge as the clear third-placed platform by 2017, with BlackBerry leading a chasing pack that will include the nascent smartphone platforms: Tizen, Firefox OS, Ubuntu and Sailfish."
Other Opinions
But while Samsung has profited nicely from its widespread Android integrations, some analysts have criticized it for failing to innovate. Using Google's software is leading to a risky dependence on the software giant's technology even after its strategic acquisition of Motorola's mobile division, a direct competitor to Samsung. They reason that Tizen enjoys additional support due to these market developments. "Samsung has grown up and is playing as the big guy, moving away from Android", says Gartner Mobile Devices Research VP analyst Carolina Milanesi.
Kevin Burden, an analyst at Strategy Analytics, agrees that Samsung is motivated to distance itself from Android for this reason but also partly because it wants greater control over the operating system in its phones. "It almost feels like Samsung is trying to set up Tizen as its next OS instead of Android", he says.
Operator and Service Provider Tactics
Vice President of Yandex Labs Juggs Ravalia puts forth the theory that many corporate heavyweights (especially operators) in the Tizen Association are worried about lock down in Android APIs and want to free their technology from difficulties circumventing Google-dictated services like Maps. While standing to benefit strategically from both added development freedom and a Tizen success, operators like NTT Docomo have confirmed that Tizen is a very operator-friendly platform.
Orange (France Telecom)
This bodes well for the multinational operator Orange. According to Frédéric Dufal, Technical Director of Orange Devices and Vice Chairperson of the Tizen Association, the launch of Orange's first Tizen device will occur in select European markets at the end of summer 2013 with more devices coming at later launch dates.
But Orange is not just interested in the traditional smartphone markets, rather "I hope Tizen someday will be delivering great stuff for emerging markets and especially Africa, and Orange is very active there", says Mr Dufal.
In fact, although Orange and France Telecom have strong commercial representation in many African countries due to historical French trade relations, they share a second commercial interest in meeting demand for less-expensive smartphone technology served by competing multinational operators like Telefonica with their Firefox OS handsets. Should either or both such efforts succeed, then mobile users in emerging markets win in the end, but what does this mean for Tizen? Mr Dufal answers, "We hope that in the longer term, we can use Tizen to democratize the access to the Internet and to smartphones in emerging markets especially in Africa and the Middle East, where not everybody can afford the fancy smartphones." His words could resonate with users in expense-reduced hardware markets producing the likes of OLPCs and Raspberry Pis.
Orange has announced a forthcoming Tizen handset offering. Its end of summer rollout will include popular Orange services leveraging Tizen's superb HTML5 support.
Yandex and Big Data
Internet companies like Yandex are turning to Tizen for its help in solving problems with and improving cutting-edge developments like navigation, assisted transportation searches and in vehicle infotainment (IVI.) According to Vice President of Yandex Labs Juggs Ravalia, Tizen could serve as a platform for a new generation of services only possible through the innovative combination of big data and free software APIs like those provided by Tizen.
Automobile Industry and IVI
It's no surprise that Yandex is working on transportation-relevant network services. According to Senior Technical Specialist for infotainment systems at Jaguar Land Rover Matt Jones, "uptake of HTML5 in vehicles is going through the roof", and that "Linux is running in over a million vehicles already." Mr Jones goes on to state the utility and consumer thirst for rich IVI systems, for which Tizen is a perfect platform match.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

On Terry Ryan, Truth And Gravity
by, 12-13-2013 at 07:04 AM (896 Views)
In Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, Robert M Pirsig dwells on a topic about which we often argue at Twins Daily: Truth. (*1) Given a finite amount of data and there is always only a finite amount of data the human imagination is capable of creating an infinite number of explanations for what that data. But ultimately, one strikes us as The Truth. It can feel like an epiphany, an absolute. But its really just the prettiest of the explanations of which we can conceive.
This is even true for scientific facts, like gravity (*2). It's even more true when there is less observable data, like say, watching the moves of your favorite baseball team's front office. We can speculate from the outside, but odds are the truths we think we've found are what appeals to us and likely to change.
My experience is that even when the people involved tell you The Truth, it's of limited value. They likely don't want to tell you the whole truth. It may even be that they don't understand it themselves.
At the press conference where the Twins introduced Ricky Nolasco, Terry Ryan was asked about whether the Twins philosophy is changing towards free agency. He replied that he didn't think so (*3), that they had always said that they would utilize free agency when it was appropriate, and this was certainly appropriate. He implied the difference was that they now had the resources.
That's a fine explanation, one that certainly can pass as The Truth for a limited set of facts. But there are other facts it doesn't explain. And the top one is that the Twins were in the exact same situation last year, and risked just $15 million on two pitchers, instead of the $73 million (and maybe more, soon) that they have already spent this year. In fact, they under spent their budget by $20 million.
This additional data point can also be explained and infinite number of ways. For instance,
1) Maybe an extra year of losing added more urgency.
2) Maybe last year the increase in prices surprise the Twins.
3) Maybe Ryan just wasn't accustomed to having money to spend.
4) Maybe they just like Nolasco and Phil Hughes more than any pitchers last year.
5) Maybe someone new in the front office gained influence and convince the organization to spend the money.
6) Maybe someone above Terry Ryan in the Twins hierarchy convinced him to spend the money.
Or maybe the philosophy changed. Whichever truth you choose depends on which additional events you choose go include, and which explanation you find most appealing.
(*1)Actually, Robert M. Persig dwells on a lot of things, and theyre all wrapped inside an intriguing and somewhat gut-wrenching story that I should really re-read. And which you should too. Its the offseason. Trust me on this one.
(*2)You might have trouble, even in the Twins Daily forums, arguing against gravity. But before Isaac Newton, people noticed that stuff tended to fall to earth. The accepted Truth was that objects had an earthly nature that made them return to earth. It wasnt until Newton came along and started talking about the other heavenly bodies and how they were holding objects in orbit, and creating formulas for how quickly things fell to earth, that the idea of gravity sunk in.
For the record, those previous nature ideas werent proposed by some dummy. This was Aristotlian (as in Aristotle) Physics. It was the truth for nearly two thousand years because it made sense to everyone. We accept gravity because it made even more sense once we started realizing the earth wasnt the center of the universe.
And we might well throw it aside and Albert Einstein already did as part of general relativity. Which, by the way, has been modified several times by various theories. Einstein doesn't have all matter attracting other matter. Rather, matter curves spacetime, bending objects in motion towards itself. And with that insufficient teaser, I and my one trimester of physics are disentangling ourselves from this explanation.
Instead, I choose to focus on this: we are talking about something that most would consider scientific fact, and yet every few hundred years, its modified as we recognize a different explanation for why that apple falls on your head as truth. They all explain the apple. But the one we accept at different times extends to additional facts and observations and is eventually adopted as the cleanest explanation. If scientific fact is that malleable, how absolute is any truth?
(*3) The question was asked by Wally Langfellow of Minnesota Score magazine. Here was Ryan's entire reply:
No, I dont think so Wally. This isnt a change in philosophy. Weve always said, if we need to do something. Now we have the resources to do it; theres no doubt. If we were still in the Metrodome, this probably wouldnt happen. But were in Target Field. Weve got more revenue and resources, certainly. This is a nice opportunity. We need pitching. We went out and got it.
As people recall, we tried to retain [Johan] Santana or retain Torii Hunter. To some extent, we just didnt have the wherewithal. We would not hesitate to jump into free agency. I dont think its the greatest path, because it is risky. We all know that. Free agency is not the answer. Its a help and a supplement to a roster. But if youre relying on free agency year-in and year-out, its not gonna work.
Now were in a situation where we need help. We need immediate help. And this is the reason Ricky is sitting here. But I dont see this as a big change. Yeah, this is a nice contract for any player. But weve given out contracts of sizable worth and that lad over there on that poster [Ryan points to a picture of Joe Mauer] is a good example. Hes making a lot of money. Were not afraid to do it, provided we get the right fit.

COLLEGE STATION, Feb. 25, 2013 – Reid Joseph, a junior industrial distribution major from Tontitown, Ark., has been elected student body president for Texas A&M University. Joseph will officially take office in April for a one-year term in leading the university's 50,000-member student body—one of the largest in the nation.
A member of the Corps of Cadets and a third-generation Aggie, Joseph has been involved in the Student Government Association (SGA) since his freshman year. Also, he has served on the Texas A&M Traditions Council and the Muster Committee, which plans the university's annual April 21 remembrance of Aggies who died during the past year. Additionally, he was selected as a member in the Corps of Cadets' prestigious Ross Volunteer Company and he serves as academic chair for Squadron 17. In his freshman year, he was named "Most Outstanding Fish" in the corps.
Also, Joseph was named one of the Texas A&M Foundation's "Maroon Coats," a honor that involves enhancing the impact of the Texas A&M Foundation by acting as hosts at events and by providing ambassadorship, stewardship and selfless service.
During a campaign debate, Joseph said student government must make sure to heed the concerns of students. "We take the concerns of the student body and bring them to administration," Joseph said.
He said providing support for students who are veterans will be a priority.
"We are very excited about all our veteran relations in the upcoming year," Joseph said.

Backcountry Access recalling airbags
Last Updated: 15:57 December 2, 2013
As part of the recall, Boulder-based Backcountry Access is giving customers a free trigger mechanism upgrade that they can install themselves on their avalanche airbags, said Dane Olson, an inside sales and technical service representative at the company.
The avalanche airbag models Float 18, 22, 30, 32, 36 and Throttle all are affected by the recall, Olson said. Only the company's original avalanche airbag product - which had a different opening mechanism than the other products - is not affected by the recall, Olson said. He estimated the company's recall cost in the "double digits," without discussing specifics.
"Everybody is happy about the fact that we acknowledged the issue, and we're providing a free upgrade," Olson said. "We don't want to ignore something that's a safety issue."
While it's "very unlikely" the existing trigger mechanism can fall off when it's pulled, if it does, the airbag would not open, Olson said. As many as 11,000 of the avalanche airbag products are affected by the recall, he said. The avalanche airbags are stored in backpacks and are inflated when the wearer is caught in an avalanche. The idea is that the airbag helps avalanche victims stay near the top of a snow slide, where they potentially can be extracted by rescuers more quickly.
A few customers who practiced deploying the airbags noticed the potential defect and notified Backcountry Access, Olson said. The company also upgraded its entire for-sale inventory in retail stores starting July 1, after the company engineering team came up with the trigger mechanism upgrade, he said. The avalanche airbag products sell for about $450 to $700 in stores.
Backcountry Access has sales of more than $10 million annually and about 50 employees, Olson said. The company was acquired by K2 Sports in Seattle for an undisclosed sum in January. K2 Sports is held by Jarden Corp. (NYSE: JAH).
For more information about the recall, customers can contact Backcountry Access at 1-800-670-8735 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, Monday through Friday, or by email at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Hello again! I know it's been forever since I've written, and I really do apologize. Between the experience of celebrating Thanksgiving in a different country, to visiting Amsterdam, to writing two 4,000 word papers (that's about 15 pages, double spaced) and getting through two exams, it's been a bit busy here. Not to mention the usual adventures in Cork with my friends.
Originally, I was planning to write this on the plane ride back to the States, but the weather seems to be conspiring against me – my flight was one of thousands to be cancelled due to the snow storm blowing through the east coast this weekend. To be fair, it isn't too pleasant here, either. As I'm writing this the wind is howling through the alleyway, pushing up against my window and seemingly trying to get into my room to introduce me to its new best friend, Sideways Rain.
So now I have an extra day to reflect on my time here, to ponder over my experiences, and to share some sort of insight with you.
Honestly, that scares me a little.
I'm not…I'm not ready to leave yet. Or rather, I'm not ready to leave permanently. I'm kind of excited to go back home: to see my family and friends, to enjoy the snow (instead of rain), to snuggle with my cats, to read my leisure books, to sleep without an alarm, to knit, to, to…to do everything.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to do those things here, too. But a little bit of home would be nice. Especially a little bit Baltimore, because I'm really missing that right now.
But back to that 'scary' part.
I think a large part of me doesn't want to sit down and analyze my time here because that would mean it's "over." It would mean accepting that I may never come back and see all the amazing people I've met and become friends with. It would mean fully realizing I'm almost 3/4 through college and have more questions than answers about my future. Studying abroad has given me so many more possibilities to think about, not just in regards to traveling outside the US, but also to where I see myself in the future (I've been toying with the idea of Washington and Oregon).
So maybe I'm not totally ready for a tell-all blog post. Give me a week or two to filter and adjust – then I will be. In lieu of that, I propose a few other posts to break up the introspection:
- Adventures in Amsterdam! SO MANY PICTURES. Really. It's an amazing city.
- 10 Things I'm going to miss from Ireland
- 10 things I learned from study abroad
I look forward to writing again over the next week!

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) has defeated Republican challenger Todd Akin in the U.S. Senate race in Missouri.
With 55 percent of the precincts counted on the Missouri Secretary of State's website, unofficial results show McCaskill currently winning by more than 138,000 votes as of 10:10 p.m. Ballots are still being counted in Missouri.
McCaskill delivered her victory speech to a cheering crowd of supporters at the Chase Park Plaza at 10 p.m.
"With a stubborn determination, tenacity and refusal to give up, we showed the country what Missouri is made of," McCaskill said.
McCaskill thanked her supporters during her speech, and went on to mention her mother, Betty Anne McCaskill, who died in the final days of the campaign on Oct. 29.
"There is one person missing on this stage tonight. And I just gotta tell you, 'Mom, this one's for you,'" McCaskill said.
Akin conceded to McCaskill just after 9:40 p.m.
"The way the numbers are looking, we have lost this race," Akin said. "I also think, that in the circumstances that we have all been through, to thank God. To God alone, be the honor and the glory, regardless of how he tries to organize history."
Election analysts expected the race to remain close. As recently as Oct. 31, statewide polls showed a narrow 2-point McCaskill lead over Akin, which was within the poll's margin of error.
The U.S. Senate race in Missouri has been watched closely across the country because of its importance to both parties. The Democrats hold the majority of the chamber, but Republicans have aimed to seize control following the Nov. 6 election.
Akin had been considered an early favorite until his controversial remarks on FOX-2's Jaco Report in August, when Akin questioned whether a woman could become pregnant from "legitimate rape."
Akin released an apology only days later, but his campaign still lost support among Republican politicians locally and across the country, including GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney.
In early October, the McCaskill campaign responded to Akin's statements by releasing a series of ads that featured victims of rape.
McCaskill also faced criticism across Missouri—which has grown increasingly conservative over the past two election cycles—for her endorsement of President Barack Obama in 2008 and her support of the Affordable Care Act.
Akin was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2000. Prior to that, Akin served in the state legislature for 12 years.
McCaskill was first elected to the U.S. Senate in 2006, when she became the first woman senator elected to represent Missouri. McCaskill has also served as state auditor and in the state legislature.
