Ooohhh.. I love Tinuviel. But I think I might love Luthien even more. I just wish I had a baby and enough courage to give it to her..

Atalanta - Not quite distinct enough from Aphrodite for my liking, but it is a big strong beauty so it makes my first cut.
Belphoebe - over Bellicent any day. I don't think of it as soft. I think of it as bright green, sharp, sparkly, wild. One of your babas will surely have Belfée in her name somewhere.
Bradamante - Beautiful, sexy, strong. Love.
Ceridwen - The tenderness of the "wen" sound tempers the frosty bite of the "Cerid" part. Such an interesting name, strong and Welsh. I think there's definitely a place for a Ceridwen in your baby-pantheon. It's not like Olympia, which is so on-the-nose in its Greekness next to Aphro-D. I do wish Ceridwen had some intuitive nicknames...
Circe - I love the unexpectedness of Circe next to Aphrodite. Keep.
Cleopatra - I fricking love Cleopatra. Love love love with Aphrodite. Cleo might be a bit over the top in the Afro funk department when thrown in with Aphro-D, but that's part of what makes it great.
Gwenllian - Beautiful. This name has such an.. earnest strength to it.
Hypatia - Fierce, smart, very cool.
Morgana - Yup, dark and velvety. Depends on the energy of the critter as you get to know her I think, but Morgana is a good one.
Pandeia/Pandia - Love the meaning. I don't know much about the character but I like the sound, so she makes the cut. Although on second thought... If I were an eight year old boy I might call her "panda panties."
Serafina - The Jennifer Garner Serafina effect hasn't trickled into England? JG notwithstanding, I think it's a great, fiery, beautiful name.
Xenia - Fabulous name, and fabulous paired with Aphrodite.
Zenobia - See Xenia.
Medium hot:
Isolde - I'm mixed. I prefer Isolde in the middle.
Lyonesse - Because it's so close to "lioness," it reads a little Queen of Sheba for me, especially next to Aphrodite. It's cool but I'd save it for a middle.
Nimue - Not as strong as Aphrodite. Niniane has more oomph imo, though Nimue is very sleek and pretty.
Sunniva - Middle name material imo. More of a sunwashed sweep of color than a nameish stamp the way Aphrodite is.
Tinuviel - I like Tinuviel, but the lack of obvious nicknames would deter me. Tinny? Tintin?
Befana - Because I've always celebrated Epiphany, naming someone Befana seems about the same as naming them Santaclaus to me. Somehow Melchior makes the cut, but I hear Befana and I think about my godfather bringing us presents dressed as an Italian witch.
Bellicent - Nixed for Belphoebe.
Hermione - Not for me. I like the name quite a bit, but it's not in the same league as elaborately beautiful Aphrodite.
Jezebel - Whatever your take on Jezebel, choosing a name that's inherently misunderstood sets up a bit of a chip-on-the-shoulder thing, where the kid may have to constantly defend her name.
Lysistrata - What a weird and interesting play and a great character, but I can't at all see Lysistrata on a little girl. Also, I find the sounds of this name a little unpleasant.. I think of Listerine, Lysol, lysosomes...
Musidora - I think of mucous-clearing medicine.
Olympia - I loved this at first, but on second thought, I agree that she's too much next to Aphrodite.
Ourania - Ouriana is not at all surprising to me in terms of its sounds... Might as well be Ariana or Maryanna.
Ok gotta run Otter, but I'll be back later tonight for the boys. XO

Associated Press
HANOI, Vietnam (AP) -- U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry offered harsh words for China and new maritime security assistance for Southeast Asia on Monday to bolster countries facing growing Chinese assertiveness in a region where the two world powers are jockeying for influence.
Tensions are running high after a near-collision of U.S. and Chinese naval vessels this month and an air defense zone China has declared over an area that includes territory controlled by Japan, a U.S. ally. Those actions have raised fresh alarm as Beijing modernizes its military and claims a wide swath of ocean and disputed islands across the East and South China Seas.
Kerry used his first visit to Vietnam as America's top diplomat to reiterate support for diplomacy between Southeast Asia's regional bloc and Beijing over the territorial disputes, and to provide aid for Southeast Asian nations to defend waters they claim as their own.
Kerry pledged $32.5 million, including up to $18 million for Vietnam that will include five fast patrol boats for its Coast Guard. With the new contribution, U.S. maritime security assistance to the region will exceed $156 million over the next two years, he said.
"Peace and stability in the South China Sea is a top priority for us and for countries in the region," Kerry told reporters at a news conference with Vietnamese Foreign Minister Pham Binh Minh. "We are very concerned by and strongly opposed to coercive and aggressive tactics to advance territorial claims."
The next stop on his Asian trip will be the Philippines, which lost control of a disputed reef in the South China Sea last year after a standoff with China. The U.S. is also helping equip the Philippines with ships and radar, and is in negotiations with Manila to increase the American military presence there.
Kerry said the new assistance was not a "quickly conceived reaction to any events in the region" but rather a "gradual and deliberate expansion" of U.S. support as part of the Obama administration's broader decision to refocus attention on the Asia-Pacific.
But the step is almost certain to anger Beijing, which bristles at what it sees as U.S. interference in areas it views as China's "core interest." Beijing looks dimly on Washington's push to increase the U.S. military presence and strengthen its alliances in Asia as it ends a decade of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, calling it an attempt to contain China.
In a reminder of the high stakes in play, U.S. and Chinese naval vessels came close to colliding in the South China Sea on Dec. 5, the most serious incident between the two navies since 2009.
The U.S. Pacific Fleet said Saturday that USS Cowpens was operating in international waters and had to maneuver to avoid hitting China's lone aircraft carrier. The Liaoning, a symbol of China's ambition to develop a navy that operates further from its own shores, only entered service last year and was on its first-ever sea trials in the South China Sea.
Beijing has not formally commented on the incident, but the state-run Global Times newspaper reported on Monday that the U.S. ship had first harassed the Liaoning and its group of support ships, getting too close to a Chinese naval drill and entering within 30 miles of the Chinese fleet's "inner defense layer."
As China expands its navy's reach and starts to challenge decades of American military predominance in the region, it's becoming more common for vessels of the two nations to operate in close proximity. The Obama administration has made it a priority to seek closer military cooperation with China to prevent misunderstandings that could spark a clash -- part of a broader push to foster friendly ties between the established world power and the emerging one.
Beijing's unilateral declaration in late November of its East China Sea air defense identification zone was a setback, and has ratcheted up tensions with Japan over disputed islands within that zone. All aircraft entering the zone must notify Chinese authorities beforehand, and China has said it would take unspecified defensive measures against those that don't comply.
The U.S., Japan and South Korea have said they will not honor the new zone, and in a show of defiance soon after China announced it, the U.S. flew two B-52 bombers through the area.
The issue loomed large during meetings in Beijing between Vice President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping in early December, and Kerry offered harsh words about the zone in Hanoi Monday. He said it "clearly increases the risk of a dangerous miscalculation or an accident." He called for intensified diplomacy to address the issue.

NORMAN — Nathan Marek was on top of the world last season. After winning his first state wrestling championship and dominating his weight class, the sophomore from Southmoore had every reason to be there.
However, it took only one trip over the summer to Fargo, N.D. to knock him back off. Competing in the USAW Cadet Freestyle Nationals, Marek didn't experience the same success he had at state. And that may be bad news for his opponents this season.
"You are thinking, 'I just won state and no one is going to beat me,'" Marek said. "That's why it was good this summer to go to Fargo. It was good to get beat as much as it sucks knowing that I'm not the best. It just kicks in that I can win another title if I put my heart into it."
In winning the 160-pound state title last year, Marek compiled a record of 42-2. His only losses came to a wrestler from Texas. As dominant as he was, SaberCats' coach Greg George knows his prized pupil can be better.
"A lot of stuff that he did in the past, he still had a lot of sloppy stuff," George said. "He made up for that by never stopping. We want to get to the point where we can beat the very best guys in the nation without being sloppy. Just clean things up."
Marek said his biggest incentive coming into his junior campaign is knowing everyone he faces will be gunning for him.
"I'm definitely coming in with a target on my back," Marek said. "No one will have anything to lose. I know if I was wrestling a state champ, I know it's not going to hurt me if I lose to them. It makes me want to work harder."

The Oregon Question (Thanks, Carl!)
Boing Boing readers may remember a year ago when the great State of Oregon asserted copyright over the Oregon Revised Statutes, sending take-down notices prohibiting reuse by Justia and Public.Resource.Org. In a shining example of democracy, the legislature held hearings, heard us out, and unanimously waived copyright on the laws. The results of opening up the law were pretty spectacularly demonstrated when a 2nd-year law student, Robb Shecter, created the beautiful OregonLaws.Org (compare to the official site for a night and day look).
Well, those copyright assertions are back, this time by the Attorney General, who asserted ownership over the (for real!) Attorney General's Public Record and Public Meeting Manual. I spent last week in Oregon meeting with law school faculty and giving lectures at 3 universities on the topic of who owns the law.
The results have been compiled into a formal pleading which we are submitting to the Attorney General for his consideration. He seems like a good guy, and we've asked him to issue an official Attorney General Opinion on when the state may assert copyright, covering not only his Public Meeting manual, but also the Secretary of State's Administrative Rules, the Fire Marshall's Fire Code, and the Building Codes. We have quite a few of those documents already on line, so there is an actual issue on the table and we're hoping he'll do the research and make a ruling.
- Oregon: our laws are copyrighted and you can't publish them ...
- Oregon continues to insist that its laws are copyrighted and can't ...

@1 if the point is simply to keep people imprisoned (as it would be from the point of say, the prison guards' union), then denying prisoners access to this info would make sense.
Damn, Cory, you were in Oregon. Let me know if you swing back by. I got a first edition of Little Brother I want you to sign. (don't guess you could sign my first copy, a .txt file.)
AirPillo says:
I actually don't even understand what these people even think they're contributing by doing this. What practical purpose do they think they're achieving? They can't honestly be doing this just because, erm, "why not?" can they?
firepainter says:
Those bozo bureaucrats need to read the Federal Copyright Law.
"In the case of works made for hire, the employer and not the employee is considered to be the author. Section 101 of the copyright law defines a 'work make for hire' as:
1. a work prepared by an employee within the scope of his or her employment;or
2. a work specially ordered or commissioned for use as:
-a contribution to a collective work
They are forgetting that they are employees of the public, hence the public owns the laws and any copyright (if you can truly copyright the law, which I doubt).
If that doesn't cover it, then fair use should.
"The fair use of a copyrighted work…for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright."
Those dimwits should be ousted from their fat government positions post haste.

I neglected to mention that our National Copyright Laws are available on-line and for free.
Diggidy says:
I was able to attend Carl Malamud's presentation at my law school and his work is extremely impressive. Having previously taken classes from the current Oregon Attorney General, I can say that he is an extremely intelligent and reasonable person. Although not present at their meeting, I'm confident he would be very receptive to Mr. Malamud's concerns. In short, Malamud is exactly right, and Mr. Kroger will know it. I don't expect the State of Oregon to be making copyright claims over their laws anytime soon.

Aaggh!!! My eyes! MY EYES!!!!
RandomProfessor says:
Hi Diggidy –
I want to agree with you about Attorney General Kroger. But when I asked his office for a copy of the "Attorney General's Public Records and Meetings Manual" I got the following response, by email:
"The State, by and through DOJ, owns copyright to the Manual, and it is not to be redistributed without our permission in any format. This measure is to help protect the copyright."
It took about a month – and an official public records request, to him – to even get this much.
So Kroger may well be a reasonable person, but he knows all about this situation, and has chosen (unsuccessfully!) to try and keep this material off the web. I hope he changes his mind and does the right thing, but so far no joy.
see http://openuporegon.com for details.
Diggidy says:
Random Professor,
I appreciate your efforts to open up Oregon laws. I think we agree here. However, I believe your interaction with the AG's office is representative of the process Mr. Kroger is currently evaluating (and hopefully changing). I wouldn't count him out as an ally just yet. He's only been in office for less than a year now–and, I could be wrong, but I assume changing their copyright stance was not high on the list of priorities when he took office. I still expect him to make the right decision.
Personally, I believe that anything made by a public official during the course of their official duties should be public and free, as my tax dollars pay for it. In time, I'm confident Kroger will agree.
danlalan says:
I'm fully behind paying them for the fruits of their labor…if we can stop paying for their labor. Pay as you go government, what could go wrong? heh.
Also, if someone were to purchase a copy and then do a line by line critique online, would that be fair use?
Machineintheghost says:
Well, sure you gotta copyright the laws, you have to have some way to give an incentive for the Oregon legislature to profit, otherwise there won't be any more new laws. Also, unscrupulous freeloaders would just copy them and pass them off as their own original laws, without giving credit to the state legislature.
Anonymous says:
Hmm… kinda smacks of a poll tax, doesn't it?
Machineintheghost says:
Seriously, I seem to recall that Article Four of the Constitution provides "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government." Not long before American Revolution, William Blackstone in the Commentaries to the Laws of England suggested that it was important to make laws known "not like Caligula, who . . . wrote his laws in very small character, and hung them up upon high pillars, the more effectually to ensnare the people." I bet some of the copyright mavens have already beaten this to death, but copyrighting THE LAW sounds like it could be unconstitutional.
RandomProfessor says:
"A popular Government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a Prologue to a Farce or a Tragedy; or, perhaps both. Knowledge will forever govern ignorance: And a people who mean to be their own Governors, must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives." – James Madison.
This quote is printed right on the cover of the Public Records manual the DOJ is trying to keep of the web.
Apparently they think these words are just decoration. I wonder what they are going to print on the 2010 revision? Something from Orwell? Kafka? Ashcroft?
Anonymous says:
Unbelievable. So does this mean when an attorney uses the law she must pay a fee? What about a judge? "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" but you must pay to access and become knowledgeable of the the laws and regulations drafted and adopted by government officials and representatives paid for with your tax dollars? I'm sorry judge, I was unaware of the law because it was copyrighted and thus not readily available… Probably wo

It doesn't cease to amaze me how thouroghly moral hazards of this sort corrupt us in my good country. I am a simple man and am free to see my rights as inviolate. This is an indulgence which I purchase by keeping my head down. Kroger is really in charge and is not free to follow his own beliefs about our rights, if I may trust the referalls above. I fear for my country when we cannot even name the conflicts of interest that drive us.
Everyone on all sides seems to agree that the law should be free. The argument that prisoners should not have access to law is a tactical requirement, driven by a conflict of interest we cannot bear to see: prsctrl mscndct. I am in fact afraid to express my opinions about it.
As to the wider attack on the public domain, everybody who looks knows it is the corporationPersons rights that are the driving conflict there… will that tide ever turn?
Brainspore says:
I wonder if they think they should get royalties every time someone else passes a law that they came up with first. Want to allow assisted suicide for the terminally ill, state of Washington? You owe Oregon 10% cut!
billstewart says:
We're not responsible for obeying any laws that they won't let us read, are we? Ignorance of the law is ostensibly no excuse, but if they won't tell us the laws, they can't reasonably hold us to them… :-)
It's especially egregious for a "Public Meeting Manual" – I don't know about Oregon state laws, but the US Constitution says that Congress can't make any laws abridging the right to petition for redress of grievances, and here's Oregon's AG saying that we're not allowed to see the equivalent information for Oregon.
Anonymous says:
Hmmm, I think this opens up the way for my ignorance of the law defense. See, I live in an area that is very anti-government and not one ISP allows access to State sites. So whenever I go to Portland to do my shopping, I inveriably cpmmit petty crimes. But one of these days, I am sure to pull a doozy. Including updating my website to include Oregon's laws, which I transcribde in full when I am in the Capitol's library. For some reason, the bit on whether or not that is legal is either always missing or never there in the first place.
Brainspore says:
Reminds me of arguments I've had with people who were bothered by the idea of inmates having unfettered access to law books in the prison library. In what kind of twisted world would we be worse off if more people knew what was legal and what was illegal?
cymk says:
I think this is more a matter of money. According to doj site for Oregon:
"…the Attorney General updates and publishes a Public Records and Meetings Manual. The manual is intended to provide assistance to state agencies, local governments and to the public generally. Copies of the manual may be purchased…"
I think the AJ perceives this as a loss of revenue that he/his state would normally receive. The idea that making the materials open to everyone (which technically they already are), would be making them free to everyone via the internet. God forbid you should get information for free.

Red Light Cameras a Possibility for Las Cruces
By Stephanie Herrera
Las Cruces, NM – According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety 22% of all traffic accidents in the country are caused by drivers running red lights.

"We can never know about the days to come, but we think about them anyway" – Carly Simon, "Anticipation"
I had dinner with an old friend the other night. Our birthdays are a couple of weeks apart, so we try once a year to get together and celebrate.
When we met this year, he told me that he was recently diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and was "taking it easy" these days. Even though he's had quite a journey dealing with his exhaustion, he seemed happy. And I think I know why.
He has discovered something that many people long for.
Mindfulness practices teach it. Yoga teachers preach it. And sages and gurus throughout the centuries have written about it.
The universal yearning for this "it" has become the new search for the Holy Grail.
And as long as we keep searching, the more "it" seems to evade.
Why is that?
Because "it", can't be obtained. "It" can only be experienced. That may sound a little esoteric, but hear me out.
Our minds are conditioned (by a fast paced culture) to go, go, go. We are always doing, and never just being. And the last time I checked, we were still called human beings.
Are we to become human doings instead?
I fear we already have.
And the consequences of our new identities as evidenced by the epidemic or perhaps pandemic of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and other serious ailments are worrisome.
There is however, a remedy.
Take a moment to notice your breath. What happened?
Your body inhaled, then it exhaled, and then ...
It paused.
That's our natural rhythm: Inhale, exhale, pause; inhale, exhale, pause. Not inhale, exhale, inhale; exhale, inhale, exhale.
The rhythm of our culture doesn't take time to pause. It's not in sync with how we are meant to be. And if we don't take the time to pause, our bodies will make us.
Take time each day to "pause" and simply "be" in that gap ... then watch what happens.
You may just find that that is where your Holy Grail lies.

In the first segment:
Last year for the first time the federal government released a huge database showing something staggering: A procedure that could cost $100,000 at one hospital cost under $10,000 at another down the road.
Robert Indiana is one of America's most successful living artists. I spoke to him recently from his island home off Maine. You probably know Indiana's iconic Electric LOVE sculpture with the distinctive crooked "O" from the mid 1960s.
"I've done pretty well by being known for Love," reflects the artist.
But beyond the love statue there is so much more. Last week the McNay Art Museum opened Beyond Love last week at the expansive Stieren Center.
The San Antonio Museum of Art recently created a new position: Curator of American art. I went to SAMA last week and spoke with William Keyse Rudolph to find out what that means for San Antonio.
"I am the Marie and Hugh Halff curator of American art, and then I also serve as the Mellon chief curator," Rudolph said.
What that means is he will curate the museum's American Collection, and he'll oversee the rest of SAMA's curatorial staff. That could mean big things for the museum, specifically in the area of his specialty, American art.
The federal government is throwing its weight behind efforts to ensure same-sex couples have equal treatment under the law. The attorney who represents two couples who are challenging Texas' ban on same-sex marriage in court this week said that declaration only helps their case.
Speaking at a human rights event, U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder directed the Department of Justice to give same-sex couples full and equal recognition to the greatest extent under the law.
The San Antonio City Council's Public Safety Committee had the chance Monday to hear more about the San Antonio Police Department proposal for police body cameras.
Police Chief William McManus appeared before Mayor Julián Castro and the Governance Committee in January and told them the body camera pilot program would last about nine months beginning in March. The cameras would cost $100,000 for the test period but city leaders are trying to work out a deal to loan the cameras for free.
But there are still big concerns about the technology. One of them is privacy.
State Sen. Wendy Davis, the likely Democratic nominee for governor, is calling on Attorney General Greg Abbott to come to the table and reach a settlement agreement in legal case challenging the constitutionality of the state's school finance system.
As Travis County District Judge John Deitz weighs hundreds of pieces of evidence in the lawsuit, Davis called on Abbott, who is representing the state in the case and is Davis' likely Republican opponent in the governor's race, to make sure Texas school districts are adequately funded.
Travis County District Judge John Dietz has finished hearing closing arguments in the Texas school finance lawsuit and now attorneys from both sides await a decision. Dietz is taking his time to formulate an opinion because the case will likely go to the Texas Supreme Court.
"I think the evidence was pretty compelling that restoring some of the money just didn't fix all the problems," said Houston attorney David Thompson, who represents a large group of schools in the lawsuit.
The Beatles were all over television this last weekend in national TV commemorations of their US arrival. Locally, they were celebrated at the South Texas Popular Culture Center. Hundreds gathered to mark the occasion and listen to bands pay homage to the Fab Four. I went there to speak to a couple of notables involved in the effort. The music I've used in my story (hit "listen" above) was the Blue Note Ringos' version of "Strawberry Fields."
I spoke first to Express News Columnist and Krayolas front man Hector Saldaña.
In a city like San Antonio, the question has become: Is the city growing in a way that is pushing long-time residents out of neighborhoods as it transforms?
Seeing examples from across the country of growth that completely takes over a town and forces generations of families out of their homes due to wealthier people infiltrating areas, District 1 Councilman Diego Bernal thinks it's time to study how San Antonio grows.
It may not ever be a problem, he said, but he doesn't want to be caught off guard.

goalkeeper PJ Enright will take some aches with him after Tuesday's 2-0 loss to Eden Prairie. The senior physically paid the price for sacrificing every inch of his body for the good of the team.
And even though the Crimson fell in the Class AA state semifinals at the Metrodome, Enright's play was the difference between a blowout and a nail-biter—a matchup that was very much in doubt until the final two minutes of the game.
Enright faced 16 Eden Prairie shots and made seven acrobatic saves. In the end, it was a pair of goals by Abdul Omar with less than four minutes to play that sealed the win for the Eagles.
"Awesome," Crimson coach Gregg Leininger said. "He was just unbelievable."
It was Enright's heroics that allowed Maple Grove to sustain Eden Prairies's offensive onslaught in the first half. The Eagles controlled the ball for much of the half, battling through the Crimson's stout defense and finding ways to put shots on net.
The more Enright saw, the more comfortable he felt.
"It was a lot more action than I usually do," he said. "But I like it that way. It keeps me focused in the game."
It took until the second half for Maple Grove (14-4-2) to respond. Leininger said his squad realized it "survived" Eden Prairie's aggressiveness and realized it could play with the deep Eagles squad. After being outshot 14-5 in the first half, the Crimson held a 6-2 shot advantage in the second.
Unfortunately for the Crimson, the Eagles (14-3-3) had enough energy left late in the second half to take the lead.
At the 76:08 mark, Eden Prairie's Omar tapped in a crossing pass to take 1-0 lead late, and 2:33 later he found the net again to ice the game.
Omar said Enright's play stifled Eden Prairies's chances all game until the final moments.
"He had some really good saves," Omar said. "All we had to do was work hard and keep shooting and somehow get the goal. And we did that."
The loss puts Maple Grove in the third place game on Thursday at 8 a.m. The Crimson will face either Eastview or Minneapolis Southwest.
Enright said while the team is disappointed, this team's journey isn't over yet.
"It's tough to lose at the very end like that," Enright said. "Scoring a goal and then dropping another one in again to go down two with two minutes left, that's tough. But I'm really proud of our guys. No one here thought we'd make it this far. But we kept believing."

Apple said to start marketing hiring spree
For all of its high profile and signature flavor, Apple's marketing has never been a major focus for the company, but that may change with an upcoming hiring spree of creatives for in-house advertising. An unnamed Apple executive has spoken about a shift which will include the growth of the in-house design group from 300 to 500 or 600. Apparently Steve Jobs kept a limited headcount in order to keep Apple focused on product rather than advertising, despite the company's increasing scale.
The only serious marketing blunder we've seen from Apple within recent memory was the Genius campaign, but by and large, the latest ads have fallen in line with those we've seen from the Jobs era. It will be interesting to see if new blood changes the marketing direction in any way, or simply expands the scope of campaigns.
How do you feel about Apple's current advertising strategy? What would you change?
Source: AdAge
There are 6 comments. Add yours.
The recent iPhone ads seem to simply state, "Ours is more popular than the others." Not much to win over people actually shopping for a new smartphone. I hope that iPhone 5S (6?) will have more of a "wow" factor to boost ads into something more than a popularity contest.
The recent iPhone ads are, in fact, stating "We have worldwide mindshare. We earned it. Here's why."
Ad strategy ad shmategy.
Bringing the ad work in-house helps eliminate leaks.
I am thinking they are adding significant numbers and talent because they are gearing up to enter a market that is totally new and different from anything they have ever done before. Something that is related to hiring Paul Deneve, French-speaking Belgian, former CEO of Yves Saint Laurent, one of the big high fashion houses, and before that, positions in Courreges, Nina Ricci and Lanvin. Something that is related to rumblings about iWatch and other wearables. Something that capitalizes on the Apple brand's unique cachet with the high fashion set; the only tech company that is not burdened by even the faintest whiff of a nerdy rep.
"Apple's marketing has never been a major focus for the company" I respectfully disagree. Not that they aren't focusing on creating good products and services. But I feel like marketing has always been essential to Apple's success. It's how they established such strong brand recognition. "the in-house design group from 300 to 500 or 600" All this says to me, is their consumer market is growing and they have more products/services to market. Also, maybe they are ramping up to counter their competition. (My Opinion)

News Article
Just in time for Halloween, San Diego-based quartet The Burning of Rome have unveiled a slickly sick new video for "Norman Bates," a track from their debut album With Us... and not only to they pay loving homage to Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 masterpiece Psycho, but they also manage to throw in a plot twist that just might have brought a twisted grin to the master's perpetually sour face.
"Norman Bates," which includes a mix by legendary bizarro rockers The Butthole Surfers, is a definite standout track from an album that's already scoring high marks with critics and listeners, reinforcing the band's rising-star status (they recently scored the Best Alternative Act title at the San Diego Music Awards). Citing Mike Patton, Danny Elfman, Pink Floyd and Phil Spector among their musical influences, the band also offers a wink and a nod to horror themes on the record, with tracks like "Audrey II" and "Why Can't I Stop Killing My Friends?"
Speaking of killing, let's get down to business and watch Norman Bates do what he does best... or does he?
Drop by the band's trippy official site for more info, as well as the equally awesome video for "Ballad of an Onion Sprout," another Butthole Surfers remix from the new album.

The never-before-published photographs on this page were captured the morning after Hurricane Katrina destroyed much of the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
Now, five years later, we present them as a reminder of the destruction South Mississippi communities experienced from the storm. May they also serve as a testament to how far we've come since the waters receded from our coastline.
Flying over the Mississippi Gulf Coast the morning after Hurricane Katrina, nothing had prepared me for the destruction that lay 800 feet beneath me.
As Katrina's winds blew over the Gulf Coast on Aug. 29, 2005, I felt a sense of urgency to find a way to fly over and capture the storm's destruction from above. I was riding out the storm near Bogalusa, La., and knew finding a flight was the most important thing I could do to document the wake of Katrina from my location.
All reports indicated the airport had been destroyed, but as I arrived to a field of smashed planes and their scattered parts, there was a lone upright plane and her pilot before me. His search for fuel a futile one, the pilot was dumping the last of what he had brought with him into the tanks.
With all known airports in the area shut down, the pilot warned me he couldn't promise we would find fuel, but agreed to take me if I would operate his video camera as he checked on damage to family properties. I agreed, and we were off.
Due to low fuel, we made a single pass over Interstate 10 and down the coastline from Belle Fontaine Beach in Jackson County westward to the Lakeshore community in Hancock County and over to south Louisiana, flying over the areas flooded by the Mississippi River.
In that short flight over the Mississippi Gulf Coast, I couldn't believe what lay before my eyes.
The massive amount of destruction and what I imagined my friends and neighbors had to have endured was almost more than I could bear.
Seeing my flooded neighborhood, my gutted church, the absence of our historic homes and beautiful beaches and thinking about the losses I knew many had suffered, it was simply unbelievable.
The collection of aerial images published today is among nearly 150 photos I captured during that flight. Most have not been published before this week.
Seeing them again has brought back vivid memories of the pain I felt while capturing them.
The images are not easy to look at, but I hope they serve a purpose in being published now, five years after Katrina changed so many of our lives forever.
I look back on the awful mess, and I remember wondering how we'd ever get it all cleaned up, but we did — a pretty remarkable feat in itself.
During that flight, I wondered how we'd ever survive, but we have. I wondered how we could possibly pick up the pieces and rebuild our communities and our lives, but we have.
We've done it together. We've done it by working together and refusing to give up.
Hurricane Katrina was an awful storm that brought misery and death to many in our communities.
Those who were lost are not forgotten, and neither are our experiences from that time.
Our strength has brought us through these first five years, and standing together will secure our future and a better tomorrow.
I look forward to reflecting on our progress in the years to come.

New Powermatic 8" jointerPosted November 6, 2013
After trying to replace a Delta 8" jointer that I had once had, I found that it was not available. I decided to get the Powermatic instead, and I am pleased that I did. I got the one with the helical head, and was very surprised at the smooth nature of the work it did on a very hard piece of osage orange.

After a lot of research, I decided to replace my 25 year old Delta DJ20 8" jointer with the Powermatic 8" helical head jointer. It was delivered today and its massiveness surprised me even after all the research. It is big!I decided to put it too a hard test right off the bat. I jointed a 7 1/2 inch wide piece of birds eye maple. The wood was slightly warped. I put it through one pass across the jointer. The board emerged totally dead flat with a glossy finish. My research said I'd see faint diagonal marks and I did if I held the board up to a light at the right angle. There was absolutely no tear out even of the eyes. The diagonal marks should go away with light sanding. The jointer is louder than the DJ20 and I didn't expect that. I'm very pleased with the new jointer.

Jon Huntsman: For GOP, Romney Loss Would be Like Yugoslav Breakup
Republicans would have 'no real direction, governance or leadership,' says Huntsman
If President Barack Obama defeats Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney, former presidential candidate Jon Huntsman says the Republican Party will be as lost as "Yugoslavia at the end of Communism."
"You gotta project vision and some principles that some people hear and can sense are real, and consistent with our time and place in history, and we're not there yet," Huntsman said during an appearance at the Brookings Institution.
Huntsman's own daughter, Abby, offered up the inquiry over Brookings' live blog, writing "Dad, what will need to happen to the GOP if Romney loses?"
"I am glad she gave me a softball and a question that will keep me out of trouble," Huntsman said sarcastically. "It may be a little bit like Yugoslavia at the end of communism. You have several entities that kind of fall out of one, and they have no real direction, governance or leadership, and it takes a while to sort that out."
[RELATED: GOP Pulls Knifes Out on Romney]
Huntsman admits that if Romney loses, the Republican Party will have some soul searching to do.
"There will be all the predictable finger-pointing and the blame game, and that will sort itself out. And then the party will wander for awhile," he says.
Huntsman told the audience that the Republicans must reconnect to the priorities of its founding leaders like Presidents Ronald Reagan and Abraham Lincoln, while simultaneously adjusting itself to a modern constituency.
"I think we're going to have to come around and recognize that we have to stay relevant," Huntsman says. "You have to stay consistent with demographic changes if you're going to be a viable party."
Huntsman posed it as a business proposition for Romney, a former Bain Capital CEO.
"Companies go broke if they lose their customer base. They will go out of business. They will cease to exist, but we also have to have a heart and a soul," he says. "A party can't just be a holding company for fundraisers and a convention every four years."
[READ: Should Gary Johnson Be Included in the Debates?]
Huntsman also offered his former foe a few words of wisdom hours before Romney took the stage for the first presidential debate.
"Let me draw from a little bit of experience," Huntsman says. "It helps to be looking at the camera and speak from the heart in a way that allows the voters to feel the sincerity and the commitment to the issues around jobs and economic growth."
Huntsman suggested Romney channels Bill Clinton.
Although, Huntsman admitted he may not be the most qualified person to dole out the campaign tips.
"I ran for president and failed miserably, so I am in no position to opine on this one," he joked.

Mar 8, 2013A real gem for fans of the Konoha ninja, Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is rich, well-crafted, fun to play and as worthy of the series as ever.
Mar 14, 2013After the weak 'Generations' Naruto returns to top form. It has its share of flaws, but nonetheless this is the best Naruto adventure yet.
Mar 12, 2013CyberConnect2 has listened to fans' feedback for Naruto Shippuden Ultimate Ninja Storm 3, and it was the right decision. The mistakes of Generations are behind now and we're offered a really good Story mode, even if you'll be only watching your screen most of the time. With a huge choice of characters and a still very efficient gameplay, Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 is obviously the very best episode.
Mar 5, 2013Its impressive Adventure mode stays true to the anime and creates an experience typically not found in a fighting game. Its enhanced combat system, coupled with its large roster of characters, makes for fun offline and online matches that will keep you exploring the ins and outs of each character.
Mar 6, 2013Naruto is a beloved ninja, in Ultimate Ninja Storm 3 he has a great story to tell. Fans have found the best game in the Shippuden series, but really this chapter has some unforgivable mistakes. New ideas and classic setbacks, all together in a beautiful cel shading.
Mar 13, 2013There is no doubt that this is the best game of Naruto that you can buy, even though there are some flaws to be considered.
Mar 7, 2013This game is only for those who care to see Naruto's story continue to play out, and though it has its moments, it doesn't deliver quite the level of excitement you'd hope for from a game bearing the Naruto Shippuden name.
Score distribution:
Positive: 25 out of 41
Mixed: 6 out of 41
Negative: 10 out of 41
Mar 11, 2013This game is phenomenal, and i freaking love madara in this game! he's amazing. the story, and gameplay is flawless. This is a must buy to non- naruto fans and naruto fans!… Expand
Aug 15, 2013I love Naruto, its my absolute Favorite Manga/Anime.
I've been playing the Ninja Storm series since Storm 2 and have loved every minute of it. It takes the Anime and Manga and turns it into something you can control and fight for yourself as your favorite Naruto Characters. However, this game seems to have taken the cake for the best Ninja Storm game out there. The story is amazing compared to Ninja Storm 2's. Better in depth and very movie like.
The new dodge system from Gen has also been kept, making dodging more strategic in keeping yourself alive. Ninjutsu casting time has been lowered to prevent as much spam online from the other games, and the new ults are amazing.
With an Anime game, comes flaws. This is the first Ninja Storm game to not be as close to the Manga and Anime as the others. The ending, actually, is the only part that stands off from the rest. In my own opinion, this was the worst part of the game was the crappy ending that was not like the manga's ending. They should have left the ending off as a "To Be Continued" ending instead of what was given seeing how the war did not end after that battle.
The only other real problem with this game is that, on current gen consoles, console lag can cause you to mess up or even end up dead. Susano' and water tends to lag the 360 and PS3 so bad you're not sure whats happening. This is said to be fixed with the upcoming Full Burst update, however.
So if you're looking for an awesome, epic game to play Online or Off, for Story or Free battle. Then this game is for you. You do need to ignore the ending, as it is nothing like how it should be. But the characters we all know and love are waiting to be pitted against others from this epic series. This game is the only reason I own an XboX, as I am a PC gamer.
However, this Winter it will be making its way to PC and Steam for the first time!… Expand
Mar 8, 2013This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This game tottaly sucks, no Edo Kages,no Gin and Kin, so they only care about the main characters like naruto and sasuke, for example Konan and juugo who realy need some updates like new ultimate and new awakenning dont get nothing!! So they copy and paste, it is exaclty like generations and storm 2, it lacks inovation in gameplay and the story its not like the manga. So dont you get fooled by the good comentaries about this game because for someone who follows this franchise since storm 1 i can say in my humble opinion this game TOTALLY SUCKS. Dont waist money in something like this, so if they invest poorly in the game they shall get no money from us… Expand
Nov 11, 2013At first i would like to say that Im a big storm 3 player with in depth knowledge of the game and i would like to believe Im in a good level in this game....but we all have to admit that storm 3 is far from a good game
the story mode is good the cutscenes are great and the boss battles are very attractive as in every storm game (Im not counting generations) but gameplay-wise storm 3 is totally broken cause of the unbalance of the characters and the glitches that occur.....the balance in my opinion second to the game mechanics is the most important thing in a fighting game heavily based in online gameplay....the mechanics of the game are not even close to a fighting game's and are very easy to learn and abuse....also the unbalance of the game gives the opportunity to certain people to abuse it and like that it creates a very difficult and irritating community to be in (I ve been in this community for a long time I know)
overall storm 3 is a broken game (that is very fun to play with friends tho and i suggest you do that) that need lots of improvements that I doubt cc2 will make… Expand
Mar 6, 2013I agree with this: This game sucks, cc2 and namco bandai only copy and paste, besides that only important characters get updates, no edo kages nothing realy new its only stuff that was already there, no update on the characters that realy need it like konan or juugo, the story its not like the anime or the manga they just changed it, we have been deceived by namco bandai and cc2. They are very lazy and only think about the money, well think again we fans are not stupid… Expand
