Galveston—A man arrested by Galveston police claims they used excessive force and has filed a federal lawsuit against the city demanding $10,000,000.
The incident happened March 11, 2013 at the Stewart's Landing apartments on 69th Street.
Jarrett Neu is seen in cell phone video being arrested by two officers. He is in handcuffs when his friend starts rolling.
Once at the door, you can hear and see Neu being tased while his friend yells, "Guys, what's going on?"
Galveston officers said they were arresting the 22-year-old for violating a protection order filed by his girlfriend.
"She knew where he was," said Cpt. Jeff Heyse with Galveston Police. "The officers went to that location looking for him and they found him there."
The neighbor at the downstairs apartment saw what happened as the threesome headed down to the patrol car.
"They tased him all the way down the stairs in cuffs," said Deborah Macleod. "He wasn't helping. They had to carry him."
Neu was arrested that day, and two months later has filed a federal lawsuit against the city claiming police used excessive force. The suit claims that Neu was subjected to severe physical abuse, threats and intimidation.
Heyse said the department never got a formal complaint about the incident and they just learned about the lawsuit.
"We got blindsided by this," said Heyse. "So, we had no idea this was coming."
He watched the video for the first time with KHOU 11 News.
"This gentleman was charged with resisting arrest and that's what the report states," said Heyse. "I think that's evident by the video."
We couldn't reach Neu for comment, but his lawyer said his client has a pre-existing heart condition and is still visiting a cardiologist months after the incident.

Aces Wild bow out of Girls Midget Volleyball
- Last Updated on 07:44 AM 12/31/12
- BY The Gazette-Virginian
After a good competitive run in the Halifax County Girls Midget Volleyball program, Aces Wild gracefully bowed out after playing their final game of the season.
The Aces Wild team are a fun loving, athletic bunch that have the ability to beat any team on the schedule when they all come ready to play. On this, their final match of the season, they took on a hot, and charging Thunder team.
Thunder entered the game knowing that this match could determine the league's championship. With this in mind, the Thunder hit the court ready to play.
Aces Wild ended the season back in the standings and were just playing for bragging rights. After all was said and done, the Thunder walked away victorious and still in the hunt for the title.
Aces Wild ended their season with a record well below their talents, but they had a ball, and there is always next year.

Candy Canes
Legend has it that in 1670, the choirmaster at the Cologne Cathedral in Germany handed out sugar sticks among his young singers to keep them quiet during the long Living Creche ceremony. In honor of the occasion, he had the candies bent into shepherds' crooks. [more below]
[continued from above]
In 1847, a German-Swedish immigrant named August Imgard of Wooster, Ohio, decorated a small blue spruce with paper ornaments and candy canes. It wasn't until the turn of the century that the red and white stripes and peppermint flavors became the norm.
In the 1920s, Bob McCormack began making candy canes as special Christmas treats for his children, friends and local shopkeepers in Albany, Georgia. It was a laborious process - pulling, twisting, cutting and bending the candy by hand. It could only be done on a local scale.
In the 1950s, Bob's brother-in-law, Gregory Keller, a Catholic priest, invented a machine to automate candy cane production. Packaging innovations by the younger McCormacks made it possible to transport the delicate canes on a large scale. Although modern technology has made candy canes accessible and plentiful, they've not lost their purity and simplicity as a traditional holiday food.

Student Body at Northwest Vista College:
The Student Body at my school is acceptable. Most people do not judge what religion you choose because you do not try to push it upon them. If you need a friend or have had a trauma , the Student Body will pull together to help those in need of help. Everyone accepts every body for who that unique individual is and what gift they have.
Tuition & Financial Aid at Northwest Vista College:
The school's tuition and financial aid process has seemed fair for me. I thank God for the financial aid so I can go to school, because otherwise I could not afford it. I feel the tuition that is charged for the classes that I take is fair priced and allow the extra money for books and supplies needed for class. The only tip I would offer anyone for getting financial aid is to fill out the FASA form early.
Overall Experience at Northwest Vista College:
I have had some really great professors at this school that I wished I could have taken more classes with. Most of the classes I have been in always have started at filled to the maximum and then they filter out. I have felt comfortable by the end of the semester with the group of people in my class. The University to me has really well educated professors that teach the students what they need to know to succeed.
Overall Experience at Northwest Vista College:
The value of a degree from this school to me means that I can get a better paying job because at least I have an Associates and working for something higher. When job fairs and Big Universities come to recruit on campus and see that students at least have an Associates Degree, they want to talk more to them.
Academic Flexibility at Northwest Vista College:
I can not rate at this time due to the fact that I have not transferred any of my credits yet.
Online Courses at Northwest Vista College:
With online course work you have to read a lot of material for understanding. I missed not having the professor to go over the reading with me. More work is given to you online than in a traditional classroom whereas you would do more work in a group setting. The registration process to me is about the same , to register for the classes you want to take as soon as registration opens for you. The professor/student relationship is the same because once you email your professor with a question or concern he/she replies in a timely manner. The peer-to-peer relationship is not the same as a traditional classroom because I have made friends with those I have met face to face and none through on line classes.
Career Services at Northwest Vista College:
I have not experienced first hand what It's like
Overall Experience at Northwest Vista College:
The professors go out of their way to help each student whether it's with homework questions or how to study. They're very helpful
Overall Experience at Northwest Vista College:
They don't start interning until my last year there.I hadn't been able to experience what it is like in my career field
Online Courses at San Antonio College:
Depends on professor of course, but most professors will give you the attention you want if needed. Professors sometimes require use of a third party online software, but the one used by the school works great; some students say they have difficulty with it, but as a student whose taken over half of my classes online, it's just fine. Online registration process is simple, and much better than some 4-year institutions' processes.
Tuition & Financial Aid at San Antonio College:
You know what you're getting when you go to a community college, but the value is very much worth the cost.
Tuition & Financial Aid at Northwest Vista College:
Im having difficulties with financial aid
Overall Experience at Northwest Vista College:
it's great for an associates degree, before transferring off to a university if you didn't get scholarships right away. Its great financially but eventually I want to move up.
Academic Flexibility at Northwest Vista College:
Its been good so far, haven't had any problems
Career Services at Northwest Vista College:
No one has talked to me about that yet
Campus Resources at Northwest Vista College:
Writing labs are very helpful, libraries are great and computer labs are always available.
Overall Experience at Northwest Vista College:
Ive loved my small classes (20-25) and the professors so far have been so nice and helpful!
Overall Experience at Northwest Vista College:
I haven't heard anything about the future/ after graduation yet
Academic Experience at Northwest Vista College:
I haven't started taking science classes for my major yet (biology) but so far its great and the work load is reasonable
Academic Experience at Northwest Vista College:
I would like there to be more options, but it is a community college i guess i will see more options when i transfer to a school for my major. The registration process is super easy though, the website is very user friendly (aces).
Off-Campus Housing at St. Philip's College:
I just live with my mom off campus.
Local Atmosphere at St. Philip's College:
On any other day, downtown San Antonio is fairly busy on the streets, making foot travel manageble and timely. On special days like Fiesta, Spurs playoffs, it get completely crowded.
Off-Campus Dining at St. Philip's College:
St. Philip's College is just east of downtown San Antonio so it takes me one bus from camous to downtown and vice versa. The food scene is diverse with both fast food chains and unique independent restaurants.
Facilities at St. Philip's College:
The campus is currently undergoing remodeling projects for certain buildings in order to modernize the structural and academic integrity.
Nightlife at St. Philip's College:
I don't pay attention to the partying, just my studies.

A man in his 20s is in a Wichita hospital after he was stabbed twice following an argument early Wednesday, police say.
Wichita Police Lt. Jeff Gilmore says officers were called to the 200 block of South Green, near Douglas and Grove, about 2:45 a.m. Officers found the victim in the street with two stab wounds. He was taken to the hospital in critical condition.
People who live in the neighborhood tell police the victim and another man were fighting before the stabbing. That fight began in a house and then moved to the street, Gilmore says.
Police are still trying to identify the suspect. Gilmore says officers were at the hospital interviewing the victim.

Dr. Rajiv Shah serves as the 16th Administrator of USAID and leads the efforts of more than 9,600 professionals in 80 missions around the world.
Since being sworn in on Dec. 31, 2009, Shah managed the U.S. Government's response to the devastating 2010 earthquake in Port-au-Prince, Haiti; co-chaired the State Department's first review of American diplomacy and development operations; and now spearheads President Barack Obama's landmark Feed the Future food security initiative. He is also leading "USAID Forward," an extensive set of reforms to USAID's business model focusing on seven key areas, including procurement, science & technology, and monitoring & evaluation.
Before becoming USAID's Administrator, Shah served as undersecretary for research, education and economics, and as chief scientist at the U.S. Department of Agriculture. At USDA, he launched the National Institute of Food and Agriculture, which significantly elevated the status and funding of agricultural research.
Prior to joining the Obama administration, Shah served for seven years with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, including as director of agricultural development in the Global Development Program, and as director of strategic opportunities.
Originally from Detroit, Shah earned his medical degree from the University of Pennsylvania Medical School and his master's in health economics from the Wharton School of Business. He attended the London School of Economics and is a graduate of the University of Michigan.
Shah is married to Shivam Mallick Shah and is the father of three children. He lives in Washington, D.C.
Since 2007, the United States has supported Somalia and its neighbors, first Uganda and Burundi, then Kenya and Djibouti, as Somali and AMISOM forces' efforts to drive al-Shabaab out of Somalia's cities and towns. Throughout this time, the Somali people endured the unendurable—violence, fear, hunger, disease. But they also came together to build something—a new foundation that would anchor a stable future for Somalia.
As we reflect on what we have achieved and bring new ideas to the challenges still ahead, it's important to remember that due to our collective follow-through on the commitments we made last year, to a fast and resolute humanitarian response and to help build resilience in the Sahel, we prevented a tragic situation from becoming much worse.
The United States continues to work through all possible channels to most effectively deliver aid. This includes working through the UN, NGO partners, local Syrian organizations and committees. Regardless of political affiliation, we are directing assistance to the most vulnerable people, and we are doing this in coordination with the Syrian Opposition Coalition.
When President Obama selected Raj Shah to be the leader of this organization, I knew instantly he'd picked somebody who understood this mission, who understood we also need to change a little bit, that we need to understand that we have to account clearly to our citizens in a time of tough budgets for all of the dollars we're spending in a very transparent and thorough way. We want to do that. But it also requires us to think creatively, sometimes out of the box, about how we may be able to deliver some of this in 21st century terms in ways that augment, multiply, when we don't have the same amount of resources we've had previously, but multiply the efforts in their return on that investment by creating greater investment opportunities, more jobs, building the economies. I think there are a lot of things that we can think about creatively together to help make that happen, and I'm convinced Raj Shah understands that, and I'm looking forward to working with him over these next years to help make that happen. We're going to get this job done.
At the Washington Call to Action, you announced that India will remain in the forefront of the global efforts against child mortality, acknowledging India's potential to greatly reduce preventable child deaths. Today's summit proves the commitment of India's leaders to both the global community and the children of India. The U.S. Government is proud to be a part of this initiative, and we look forward to working with the Government of India on addressing critical child survival issues.
USAID is proud to be part of this new Commercial Farm Services Program, one of many projects we have here in Ethiopia that form part of the U.S. President's Feed the Future Initiative. I am very pleased to see this group here today working together to achieve our common goals: to provide smallholder farmers with the tools that enable them to earn a decent livelihood and contribute to the development of their country.
I am pleased to represent the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the American people today at the 2nd Annual Ethiopian Commodity Exchange (ECX) - Cooperatives Forum, supported by USAID's Agribusiness Market Development (AMDe) activity.
It is an honor for me to present closing remarks on behalf of the United States Government and the American people.
Since the Legislative Research Program began more than a year ago, USAID has worked with the to strengthen the capacity to provide National Assembly members and staff with greater in-depth information and analysis on critical laws and policies.
The U.S. Government launched the EC-LEDS initiative more than two years ago to support developing country-led efforts to accelerate their economic growth, achieve their development goals, and address climate change.

MILFORD, Del. - The windows of Warren Furniture Store in Milford remain boarded up.
"You could still smell the smoke. I park right alongside of Warren Furniture and so I can smell the ash. It has that wood stove scent, said Teri Carter, owner of EcoChic Boutique in Milford.
Carter's store is just feet away from Warren Furniture - a more than 80-year old store that burned nearly two months ago.
"It's really sad because I saw Mr. Warren everyday when I came to work. It's like losing a family member because we're so close knit downtown," said Carter.
Susan Betts works at Mispillion Art League. Warren Furniture is a short distance away. Betts says the store was a staple in the community.
"When I was young there was always people in the street, it was always busy and the Warren Furniture store was part of that," said Betts.
The Delaware State Fire Marshals Office ruled the fire to be accidental and caused by an electrical failure on the showroom of the first floor.
Lee Nelson, executive director of Downtown Milford Incorporated, says he's not sure yet what will happen to the building.
"Whatever it does going forward, I hope it would contribute to the vitality of downtown and fit in with our other businesses so that they compliment each other," said Nelson.
Some who live and work in the area say if the store can't be saved, they'd like to see retail space on the first and second floors of the building. Others say adding office space and even apartments on the third floor would keep the area viable.
Betts says she would like to keep some of the buildings history.
"You hate to see us lose more and more of the buildings and stores that at one time made this such a lively place," said Betts.
Nelson says downtown is becoming a lively place with new businesses are moving in. Nelson says if Warren Furniture cannot be salvaged, other opportunities may exist.
"If we could have that critical link in the middle, being Warren Furniture, divided up into smaller areas that would be a nice link between the two areas for both the growing area on South Front Street and Walnut Street.," said Nelson.

"The tradition at Transylvania of creatively combining the resources of the university is long, and demonstrated in very concrete terms the value of collaboration. I hope to demonstrate to a new generation of Transylvania students that you must take initiative—that no envelope is going to arrive in the mail with everything you need. The creative folks around you provide the key, and it is important to recognize the value that different disciplines and perspectives bring to your work and life."
Chris Begley is Transylvania's own Indiana Jones, navigating Central American jungles and searching for ancient cities lost to time. The anthropology professor spends a lot of his time in Honduras working on a range of projects, from documenting artifacts with a 3-D scanner to his latest venture, a National Geographic documentary titled "The Lost City of the Mosquito Coast: A Modern Struggle for the Past."
Transylvania was essential to Begley's work today. He learned not only the science of anthropology and archaeology, but how to incorporate other disciplines to tell the story of people and civilizations.
"My current research is interdisciplinary and resulted from initiatives taken by me and other members of the team," he says. "My Transylvania education influenced both of these factors. My principal influences were not only anthropologists, but English professors, art professors, and biologists."
Now he uses that influence to educate today's Transylvania students, teaching courses like Latin America and the Natural World, where he collaborated with a Spanish professor and a history professor to tell the story of Latin America's natural history from distinct but interconnected angles.
Transylvania University admits students regardless of age, race, color, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, veteran status, national origin, or any other classification protected by federal or state law or local ordinance.

Best Waterpark
Disney Cruises
Cruise lines like Norwegian, Royal Caribbean, and Carnival have created splashy new water parks complete with tubular slides, but the AquaDuck water coaster gives Disney's new Dream the edge (it will also be found on Disney's new Fantasy, which debuts in spring 2012). The AquaDuck is a transparent, acrylic tube that spans four decks and, at one point, swings out 13 feet over the side with a 150-foot drop to the sea.

AAA released its weekly fuel gauge report last week, showing a sharp increase in gas prices through July and predicting that prices will remain high through Labor Day.
According to AAA numbers, national gas prices increased 5.1 percent, or 17 cents a gallon, over the course of July to close out at $3.50 a gallon. That's the first monthly increase since March and the largest increase for July since at least 2000, when AAA began keeping records.
If it seems like prices had been low this summer, they were. Fuel costs had decreased three months in a row before falling to a summertime low of $3.326 on July 2. However, prices rose quickly to close out the month at the national average of $3.50, $3.66 in the Philadelphia region.
In its most recent report, AAA predicts with "medium-high" confidence that gas prices will remain flat or experience a small increase between now and Labor Day. That would buck a historical trend, as seven of the last 10 Augusts have shown a gas price decrease. Prices almost always fall following Labor Day as the summer driving season ends and refineries transition to less expensive fuel blends.
AAA states that the high prices are due to rising crude and ethanol prices, geopolitical concerns in the Middle East and mixed economic news surrounding the global economy. Factors that could impact prices in August include the global economy, U.S. unemployment data, European debt developments, the Atlantic hurricane season and events in the Middle East, AAA says.August gas prices 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 $2.96 $2.79 $3.77 $2.62 $2.73 $3.62

Pittsburgh will play host to the premiere of a Tom Cruise movie that was filmed in several local communities, including nearby Sewickley, last year.
"Jack Reacher," originally named "One Shot" after the novel that the story is based on, will premiere at the SouthSide Works Cinema on Dec. 15.
According to a report from WPXI, Tom Cruise and co-stars Robert Duvall and Rosamund Pike are expected to return to Pittsburgh to attend the premiere, which is the first film premiere Pittsburgh has hosted in several decades.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports that director Christopher McQuarrie and novelist Lee Child are also scheduled to attend.
Paramount Pictures will take over all 10 screens and 1,659 seats in the SouthSide Works Cinema for the 2 p.m. showing, according to the P-G.
A portion of the movie was filmed at the old Sewickley Country Inn last October and November. Fans that gathered to watch on the sidewalk went wild when Tom Cruise at long wait appeared from a black sport utility vehicle and waved to the crowd. Patch was there to speak to eager fans as they waited in the cold.
"Jack Reacher" is scheduled to open nationwide on Dec. 21.

An actual Australian PSA:
http://cdn2.hark.com/images/000/006/085/6085/original.0 :attention: :doh:
Best guerrilla marketed PSA to date. If it was on TV I..wouldn't even notice, I'd FF through on the DVR. Same with Australian teen drivers. But you make an entertaining spot, leave it out there for all to view (and embed everywhere) and just see how many people looked. Those same teens who never watch commercials watched this a half dozen times on YouTube.
Don't think the PSA is terribly effective at its core message (perhaps it was meant as a slow burn, only watched once myself), but it is extremely useful in setting a model.
Cheers Australia

By JOE LoTEMPLIO
---- — PLATTSBURGH — The City of Plattsburgh could have as many as five new Common Council members as well as a new mayor next year.
"There is a lot of interest out there, and it will be interesting to see what happens," City Republican Party Chairman Richard Cantwell said.
Mayor Donald Kasprzak announced Tuesday that he will not seek re-election this year after serving for seven years.
Five of the six Common Council members have also said their names will not be on the ballot this fall.
One of them, Mark Tiffer (D-Ward 2), said he wants to run for mayor.
"I believe I am the right person at the right time for the job," he said.
"I know the issues, and I think it is important to have somebody who knows what is going on and can take over right away."
Tiffer, 29, was elected in 2010 to a three-year term on the council.
He said improving the city's infrastructure will be at the top of his campaign platform.
"We've done a good job of balancing our finances, but I think we've been lacking in investing in infrastructure," he said.
"We are not making the improvements and the investments that will help us in the future."
City Democrats will meet next month to formally choose their candidates, but Tiffer said he plans on running even if it means battling it out in a primary. He has already posted campaign literature on his Facebook page.
"It's going to be a grassroots effort, and I am hoping to get a lot of support from a lot of people," he said.
Cantwell said he expects to field a candidate for mayor who can win but also "do a good job."
"It's a tough job, and you have to be not only a good politician, but somebody that can serve the public and be fair and open-minded and prepared to deliver the services we need," he said.
"And I believe we will have somebody like that."
The mayor's position carries a salary of just under $70,000.
Cantwell said he expects to find qualified candidates to run for council as well.
The Republicans will meet to choose their candidates next month.
George E. Rabideau (R-Ward 3) cannot run again because of the city's term limits, and James Calnon (I-Ward 4), Chris Case (D-Ward 5) and Christopher Jackson (D-Ward 6) have said they will not seek re-election.
The Ward 2 race will also be open if Tiffer does run for mayor.
"We could have a whole new council, and it could be tough," Carpenter said.

TheStreet.com's Gary Krakow Reviews Reviews, Thinks iPhone 3G Stinks. We Think it's Not the iPhone...
Pop quiz: You're not Mossberg, Pogue, or Baig and you don't work for anything like the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, or USA Today, so you don't have a shiny new iPhone 3G to review, but you do have a couple minutes of web vid to fill, and a massive amount of iPhone hype to jack. What do you do?
If you're theStreet.com's Gary Krakow -- the genius who previously suggested that the iPhone should dump OS X and run Windows-fr33kin-Mobile -- then you pump yourself up as much as possible, and dump all over the BIG 3's reviews.
Got your yuck-brown highlighter ready? Good. Go through and strike out all the positive stuff, mumble quickly what's too important to strike out, and then harp ill-informedly about whatever tiny troubles you can find. Nothing Windows Mobile couldn't fix anyway, right?
Sure, there'll be a market for this type of flame-bait manipulation, lots of blog links (guilty as charged!) and fan boy fury, but is the loss of credibility really worth it Gar? And can't they at least find a "reporter" to interview you without questions so canned and leading that the simple math they run is the only thing that makes me believe they're not entirely animatronic?
Yeesh. When exactly did theStreet.com become roadkill?
Thanks to Joe (The Reptile) for the tip!
There are 23 comments. Add yours.
Sweet shaving job. Sweet glasses. I didn't find either of the reviews they talked about very negative, and people seem to not comprehend the fact that you can turn off 3G. This means that if you're planning a long call with someone for one reason or another, you can easily drop to the older network that will easily get you 10 hours of talk time.
This is really a crap perspective. He mentions exchange support, then talks about games, then says it's not what business users are looking for. First, I think the iPhone is meant to have something for everybody, not just for businesses and their employees. Second, who doesn't want a work phone with good games :)
Wow. C R @ P is filtered. Not that I'm complaining, just surprised.
Seriously ... was that guy drunk when he tried shaving that morning?
Did he call the iphone a radio?
he doesn't seen to realize that every problem he has mentioned can be fixed with software updates.
Is he wearing his glasses upside down? May be explained by the incoherency.
Rene, nice job. Glad I sent over the tip. Keep up the good work!
At what point in the video did he say he thinks the iPhone 3G stinks?
He reviewed existing reviews already out there.
He highlighted on some of iPhone 3G's cons AND pros...OP, why would you say this guy stinks?
Because all of his comments about the iPhone 3G were not positive.
ALL cell phones have pros and cons.
Sherry Krueger thinks that the Iphone is innovative but that the Lg Dare is better. Sherry Krueger believes that her employees deserve the best and she might give her employee, Luke an IPhone or Lg Dare or maybe both.
Maybe it has to do with the fact that none of the reviews used the word 'stink' in any of it's forms. In fact, all 3 of the reviews were fair and at times were critical but never took cheap shots.
Now Krakow is another story. He took the most critical parts of the articles and used it as the basis of his video report. Then he one ups and says the product 'stinks' even though he's never used it yet and nobody ever said that. Anyone with a logical or semi-logical brain could figure out that his review of the reviews was one-sided. Read the articles and then judge for yourself and let us know if the reaction is warranted.
I've read all 3 articles, Times, USA and the other. Those 3 seemed fair. The video above, he seemed like he didn't know what he was talking about, only what he's read. On that basis, I wouldn't have even given his video space on my site.
Skip jokers like that and stick to some substance.
By posting his vid, you've helped to spread his nonsense even more...where's my hazmat suit, I don't want to catch his Space....MADNESSSS!
I guess Krakow didn't get the memo. The $30 unlimited plan comes with 200 text messages now.
I do not beleive the $30 unlimited interntet plan for the iPhone 3G comes with txt. You have to buy that seperately...
200 txt for $5/month
I was concerned about the poor battery life at first. But as someone above has pointed out, the 3G radio can be turned off when making calls and it will extend the battery life significantly. 3G is only necessary when you are using data service, but not needed at all for voice service.
Remember that the 3G iPhone still has the best battery life out of all 3G capable phones. If only the all mightly Steve Jobs would allow replacable batterys on the iPhone design....
When did Rip Torn start commentating on technonlogy?
Whatever. Worst case, there'll be fewer people in line before me on Friday. :)
Wow! I bet this was nothing more than a tactic to get curious people onto their site for advertising revenue. They offered nothing new and "insight" into interviews that was way out of context. Who is this guy? Maybe he is jealous that he didn't receive an iPhone to test 2 weeks prior to its release. His lack of finesse on camera assures him no future in reputable reviewing. And he needs a razor that isn't cut in half.
@ Stephman
Yeah the $30 plan comes with 200 texts included. I guess ATT caved under all the negative responses. I called them yesterdy to confirm it, and it's true. Nice!
These guys don't get Apple. They're complaining about things out of Apple's control. AT&T 3G coverage isn't Apple's fault. Weak GPS isn't their fault unless you want a thicker, more expensive unit which just isn't Apple's style. Cut and paste. offense but I really don't think there are many times you really need cut and paste. Plus, there is no constantly displayed place for the iPhone which means Apple would need to add a new gesture to copy AND paste or find a way to put it into the keyboard. The battery isn't going to last long on any 3G phone no matter what. And AT&T raised plan rates. Not Apple.
I just think their whining because iPhone 3G doesn't defy physics to meet their needs.
ugly guy...

EDMOND — Turnovers and big plays have been a problem for Moore, and continued to be Thursday when it lost 49-13 to Edmond North at Wantland Stadium in Edmond.
The loss drops the Lions to 1-7 on the season as their struggles to hold onto the ball doomed them from the very start.
"We didn't play like we should have," Moore senior Evan Sprayberry said. "Came out really, really, bad. It's the only word I can say."
The Lions got the ball to start the game. On fourth-and-one on its own 29, they attempted to catch the Huskies (5-3, 4-1) off guard with a quick kick. However, the maneuver failed when quarterback Jordan Bernhardy had his punt blocked by North's Mark Piatt and recovered on the 19-yard line.
Two plays later Luke Rossi caught a touchdown pass to give the Huskies the early advantage.
The Lions gave the ball back again on the very next possession when Antonio Williams picked off Bernhardy. It led to back-to-back touchdowns by Ezel McIntee, who put the Huskies up 21-0.
Moore's lone bright spot came when Casen Haddox blocked a North field goal attempt late in the period in the opening quarter. But Moore was unable to translate it into points.
Midway through the second quarter, Moore had its third turnover when on fourth down the snap went over the head of punter Lance Biswell's. North took over on the Moore 23, and Marcus Ford scored on the short drive.
Bernhardy was able to make things happen with his legs that allowed him to pick up a few first downs. But Edmond North put the clamps on tailback Ryan Lujan any time he touched the ball. The passing game was nowhere to be found.
Moore got its offense moving late in the first half when Bernhardy drove the team down the field before they stalled out at the Huskies 40-yard line with less than a minute on the clock.

A pizzeria owned by a family friend is where Kim Guthmann starts Memorial Day weekend remembering her parents.
David and Kathleen Gilfillan were killed almost two years ago by a drunken boater who hit them at a dock on Hanson Lake south of Bellevue.
During lunch Friday with her children and the prosecutor in the case, Kim says of her parents "Their picture is on the wall and grand kids can see the picture to remember the good things about them."
Ken Tonn is more than a year into a six to 20 year sentence.
Since the tragedy the Sarpy County sheriff's boat patrol received a grant to patrol waterways in the county on holiday weekends. Captain Rolly Yost says on private lakes many boaters head for the docks when the patrol boat is on the water. Yost says, "We use binoculars and a cruiser or we're in an unmarked car watching the waterways for boating violations.
Kim Guthmann says even if the drunk boat driver that killed her parents just had followed one law, having a spotter while pulling a tube, she believes her parents would be alive this Memorial Day weekend.

By Will Broaddus
Staff writer
---- — For a Mardi Gras celebration, it's hard to beat tomorrow night's concert at the Larcom Theatre in Beverly.
Not only will it feature two saxophone players, Charles Neville of the Neville Brothers and Amadee Castenell — both Grammy award winners — but they'll be playing in a band with two other natives of New Orleans, including vocalist and band leader Henri Smith, to help send North Shore teenagers to rebuild their city.
"I have to be involved, 'cause it's my town," said Smith, who has lived in Gloucester since fleeing Hurricane Katrina. "We're all doing this for the cause of New Orleans."
Fifty percent of proceeds from the Henri Smith New Orleans Mardi Gras Concert will help the North Shore YMCA send about 100 teenagers on a service-learning trip to New Orleans during April school vacation.
"We're going to play a lot of Fats Domino, and lot of New Orleans Mardi Gras music," said Smith, who worked as a DJ in New Orleans before his singing career took off.
In addition to Castenell, who won his Grammy playing sax for Dr. John, and Neville, whose musical family is a New Orleans institution, the other Louisiana native in the band is drummer Charles Burchell.
The band, which Smith formed seven years ago, also includes violinist Orie Furuta, young trumpet player Jake Baldwin, and experienced percussionist Les Lumley.
"He's played with Joni Mitchell, Richie Havens and Jefferson Airplane," Smith said of Lumley.
Clarinet player Steve Swartz also brings serious credentials to the stage, having studied his instrument with New Orleans legend Pete Fountain.
This is the fourth year the YMCA has sponsored a service-learning trip to New Orleans, which originally was limited to members of the Cape Ann YMCA and last year expanded to include teens from across the North Shore.
It is the third year a benefit concert has been organized to help them, and the event has grown along with the program, forcing organizers to find a larger venue.
Smith's appearance will mark the first time in more than 30 years that the Larcom Theatre has hosted performers other than Le Grand David and His Own Spectacular Magic Company. The company stopped appearing at the venue last spring, after founder Cesareo Pelaez died.
The students' volunteer work in New Orleans is coordinated by the St. Bernard Project, a nonprofit that was founded to help the city rebuild after Katrina.
"We do anything from sheet rocking and gutting houses to mold remediation," said Rick Doucette, who runs teen services at the Y.
The labor the teenagers provide isn't skilled, but it is a vital step in the rebuilding.
Doucette went to New Orleans within a year after the hurricane hit, and what he saw left an impression.
"You go past block after block after block of concrete steps leading up to nothing," he said.
"The lower 9th Ward is in St. Bernard Parish. They are literally in a basin, a kind of bowl, 15 feet below Lake Pontchartrain on one side, and 20 feet below sea level on the other. There were 50,000 people living in that area before Katrina. After that there were six homes deemed habitable."
The devastation fell on a part of the city where poverty had already taken a toll, making recovery that much more of a challenge.
"This is the poorest area, where people who lost their homes were living in shotgun houses," Doucette said, referring to a narrow, rectangular style of house usually no more than 12 feet wide. "They might have gotten $30,000 for insurance, and you can't rebuild a home for $30,000."
He has seen major improvements to businesses in the district since his first visit, but there are still 100 families waiting to get into homes, and people who have been living in FEMA trailers for six years, he said.
Before Katrina hit, Smith had been planning to go the Superdome and wait out the storm.
"I got out the morning of," he said. "My family told me not to stay, that I needed to get out."
He traveled to Houston with 20 other people "in a caravan," he said. "We had 20 of us and nobody had any money. Twenty of us in two rooms."
They then moved to Baytown, Texas, where there were cots to sleep in, but this arrangement had to be abandoned when Hurricane Rita hit a month later.
The exodus continued until a musical acquaintance from Manchester, Nat Simpson, suggested that Smith come to Massachusetts.
Smith has found a home in Gloucester, and the band he started here plays around the region, including a regular gig at Darryl's Corner Bar and Kitchen in Boston.
Other musicians like Neville, who also moved to Massachusetts from New Orleans, have joined Smith in re-creating the sound he fostered as a performer and DJ in his native town.
Doucette mentions the gratitude that people in New Orleans often extend to teenagers from the Y, and it is echoed in Smith's desire to help the program with his music.
"This is our third fundraiser at the Y," he said. "I've been fortunate to be involved with this."
IF YOU GO ... What: New Orleans Mardi Gras Concert When: Friday, Feb. 8, 7:30 p.m. Where: Larcom Theatre, 13 Wallis St., Beverly To benefit: YMCA teens' service trip to New Orleans Tickets & information: $20 in advance ($15 for people over 65 or under 18); $25 at the door for all ages.

Petition/ Protest watching the Grammys and Justin Timberlake
This petition/protest is to stand against the blatant racism & unfair treatment of Janet Jackson in regards to the Sunday February 1, 2004 super Bowl half-time performance with Justin Timberlake. In this performance Justin Timberlake unveiled one of Janet\'s breasts\'. The media, CBS, MTV, & Justin Timberlake have tried to over dramatize & defame Janet\'s character. Only Janet is getting punished for this misunderstanding. Everyone is failing to realize the following points: 1.There were 2 people involved in the performance, not 1.Both should have been charged if they were going to charge at all. 2.Janet didn\'t take her own breast out, Justin did. 3.This was Justin\'s performance, which means he had the final authority on any last minute change, he could have said NO! 4.No one knows whose idea it was, it could have been Justin

Tony Bradley, Contributor
I write about how trends and new technologies impact real people.
As Steve Ballmer bids a theatric and tearful goodbye to the Microsoft Microsoft faithful in his final company-wide speech, the search continues for a worthy successor to replace Ballmer at the helm of Microsoft. Ford CEO Alan Mulally has emerged as a possible favorite this week, but his leadership may not be what Microsoft needs.
When Ballmer first announced his impending retirement, a number of names were tossed around, but speculation seemed to focus on former Microsoft executive and Nokia Nokia CEO Stephen Elop. When Microsoft announced that it acquired Nokia—thereby bringing Elop back into the fold—that possibility started to seem more like a probability.
That may all have changed, though. AllThingsD reports that Microsoft is in very serious talks with Mulally, and that the Ford CEO has catapulted to the top of the short list to replace Ballmer.
Mulally is a very capable leader, and has an impressive record. He turned things around at Boeing Boeing before taking the reins at Ford and getting the Detroit icon back on track as well. But, being a good business leader—or even a great business leader—may not be enough to keep Microsoft on top.
What Microsoft needs more than a leader with experience turning a business around is a leader who understands the rapidly shifting tech landscape. At 68 years old, with a history leading large manufacturing companies, Mulally doesn't seem like the right fit for the challenges facing Microsoft.
Microsoft's problem seems to be more about a lack of a consistent, coherent vision than about execution. Microsoft is filled with genius at almost every level, but that talent needs to be marshaled and coordinated toward a grand vision that defines the future of technology rather than reacting to it.
Microsoft needs a younger, more dynamic CEO with more of an entrepreneurial tech startup mentality. That said, whoever leads Microsoft also needs to understand how to operate company that size, and how to leverage or diffuse inter-company politics. That's why Elop is a better candidate than Mulally—he has both tech and Microsoft experience.
There are some candidates that may be even better than Elop, though. Gabe Newell, CEO of Valve, is a former Microsoft employee who has demonstrated skill in establishing Valve as a leader in the gaming industry—and a serious threat to Microsoft's Xbox game console. Newell is someone who seems to grasp technology trends, and has proven adept at navigating a tech company.
Possibly the best combination of business leadership, tech startup experience, and understanding of internal Microsoft dynamics is Tony Bates. Bates was CEO of Skype when it was acquired by Microsoft, and is now vice president Microsoft's Business Development and Evangelism group.
When I first wrote about possible replacements for Ballmer, Bates didn't even make my list. With more time to reflect on what Microsoft needs, and who can provide it, though, Bates is now the candidate to beat in my opinion.
Alan Mulally is a great CEO, but both Ford and Microsoft will be better off if he stays in Dearborn.
I did not recognize the Forbes (contributor) of the above article with having any significant form in stature or authenticity in the business of decisions of who belongs or not in a CEO capacity. In other words, he is no Warren Buffet to say the least
Why not Elop? He already has the experience of turning around Nokia and also was a former Microsoft. Yes he may not take Nokia back to being number one again but it's seem that it was heading that way. That is why MSFT jump at acquiring Nokia. With 6 new hardwares coming n many innovation more in the futures. Elop is the best candidate because he has the knowledge n experience inside .
80 % of window market is Nokia…so Elop did do his job . If giving more time…Nokia will take back there position …at least 2nd. I m sure 3rd quarter earning will be a surprise! They been innovating n has many phone out that is meeting a various spectrum of buyers. Can't wait till Oct 26… For 6 new hardwares. Elop , MSFT n xnokia team will dominated the software n hardware future …reinventing innovation !!! :))
Mark Hurd Is the man to replace Ballmer
total wrong this guy has turn two down baddy down industries around
you got to be nuts
your nuts
Ageism is alive and well, especially in tech.
"At 68 years old…" "Microsoft needs a younger, more dynamic CEO…"
He seems plenty dynamic and appears to have had a vision for Ford that is coming to life before our eyes. The questions around tech vs other industries, manufacturing vs software etc are legit, the rest is BS.
