All those complaints... but we still kept watching!
Published at 08:55, Saturday, 09 June 2012
We Brits have an intriguing approach to national occasions of historic importance – particularly the royal ones.
We want to watch them on TV. We'd prefer to see them on the BBC. And then we enjoy having a high old time indignantly hammering the Beeb for what a rotten job was done.
The Diamond Jubilee Thames Pageant (BBC1) was a case in point. The biggest case in point of the Jubilee weekend, if truth be told.
A huge audience of nearly 11 million turned on for the much-maligned pageant coverage on Sunday afternoon. If the complaints that followed could be taken as a simple, truthful snap of how many turned off, BBC bosses should be worried.
They weren't turning off. British Beeb-bashers aren't ever that straightforward. But corporation bosses should still be worried. They got it wrong.
The BBC served up Fearne Cotton's jive steps; John Sargent's embarrassed clown act; a bizarre and unfunny episode with Sandy Toksvig, Griff Rhys Jones and other payrolled friends on their own (borrowed) boat; Ben Fogle rowing a boat – and then rowing it some more.
Huw Edwards opened the proceedings with a monologue that repeated the word "nice" at least a dozen times in 15 minutes.
Goodness only knows how many times over four hours "iconic buildings" and "Canaletto moments" were referred to. There appeared to have been scant attention paid to scripting interesting narrative and less still to rehearsing presentation.
In pole commentary position were the pretty but stammering ones – Matt Baker and Sophie Raworth.
Missing cues, uncertainly stumbling into their pregnant pauses and then shuffling back out of them with inane chatter, they were a long way from what we've learned to expect from commentaries on great national events.
It seemed the stance had been that the sillier the coverage could become, the more exciting it would be for everyone. And if celebrities could be coerced (as if!) into showing a face or a fake-tanned leg in the process, so much the better.
Defence, since those thousands of complaints hit the decks, has been that the BBC had been trying to be inclusive, upbeat, contemporary. The aim had been to avoid appearing stuffy and overly formal.
You can see their point. Expectations have moved on since the Coronation. But that tends to suggest they have risen, not fallen.
In pandering to celebrity culture and populist presentation, the BBC got it wrong. Or, to be a touch more generous, they failed to get it right.

Provo • Every starting offensive position on the BYU football team is up for grabs, the new coaches on that side of the ball have said since they were hired in the last few months.
But it was obvious on Monday as spring camp started that the quarterback position is going to be Taysom Hill's to lose, regardless of what was coming out of the mouths of head coach Bronco Mendenhall, offensive coordinator Robert Anae and quarterbacks coach Jason Beck.
Quarterbacks at BYU spring camp
Player Year Ht/Wt
Jason Munns Senior 6-5/250
Christian Stewart Junior 6-2/190
Taysom Hill Sophomore 6-2/218
Ammon Olsen Sophomore 6-3/209
Billy Green Freshman 6-2/196
Tanner Mangum Freshman 6-3/195

Hill got the first snaps in team drills, and did not show any signs that he was hampered by the devastating knee injury he suffered almost five months ago to the day. Senior Jason Munns and sophomore Ammon Olsen also got some reps, while freshmen Billy Green and Tanner Mangum, and Christian Stewart, a transfer from Snow College, mostly watched.
Beck said the order was determined by the amount of playing experience each quarterback brought to camp, which is why Hill went first. And Hill went hard, did everything everyone else did, and said after practice that he always believed he would recover this quickly and be in this spot on March 4.
"The doctors are hesitant letting me go 100 percent, full-strength, so I have kind of limited myself a little bit," Hill said. "But for the most part, I feel like I am doing everything 100 percent."
Anae's take on how the sophomore who started two games last fall looked: "He's on restriction, but boy, they didn't restrict him too much today. He ran around, did some good things, made some good reads."
But, Anae added, the starting quarterback competition "is wide open, it really is. I thought all the quarterbacks, at least for the most part, were moving pretty fast."
Asked if his new "go hard, go fast" offense will benefit if a starting QB is named before spring camp ends, Anae said it is too early to tell.
As for Hill, he's staying away from making bold predictions, but was obviously pleased that he got the first reps Monday, and that the offense moved the ball.
"We had the defense on their toes a couple drives, and everything was coming in fast, and a couple more practices, as we get more comfortable and used to it, it is going to be tough to stop," he said.
So does Hill think it would be beneficial to be named the starter when camp ends April 5?
"Right now, I mean, I was taking reps with the ones and things, so that allowed for some continuity," he said. "But yeah, maybe. I think we will let the coaches decide what is best in that situation."
Mendenhall acknowledged, if only slightly, that some might view Hill as having a leg up on the race.
"It would start with Taysom Hill just because of some experience from a year ago," Mendenhall said. "But that's really not enough to say, then, that he's the heir apparent, or he's the established quarterback. But if you had to say, 'is there a pecking order?' We would start there first. But there's not a huge lead over anyone else."
Several offensive players, such as receivers J.D. Falslev (left foot) and Cody Hoffman (shoulder) and lineman Ryker Mathews (both hips) had surgery and won't participate in spring ball.
Junior college transfer Trenton Trammell injured his left knee midway through practice, but the seriousness of the injury will not be known until some imaging work is done.
Having mentioned Friday that he wants a contract extension, Mendenhall said Monday he has "made it really clear" that he wants to stay at BYU, but doesn't want to talk about it during camp.
"Really, all I have done is express my interest to the administration," he said. "The rest of it, you will have to talk to them and see. ... The details and the time frame will have to come from the administration."

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11)--A Jefferson County man was arrested on Thursday afternoon after a shoplifting call led officers on a chase through a Bashford Manor neighborhood.
According to a police report, at 3:00 p.m. Thursday officers responded to a call at the Bashford Manor Lane Wal-Mart where two subjects were reportedly observed leaving the scene. An officer approached and began checking one subject for identification and weapons. Upon the search, the subject, Devon Ballanger, 22, turned and attempted to strike the officer with his fist. Ballanger then, according to the report, removed his shirt, pushed the officer away and began to flee on foot.
Ballanger ran into a neighborhood near Bashford Manor Lane and Mayo Dr. The pursuing officer reported that Ballanger was jumping backyard fences and in the process caused alarm in several residents.
The subject was apprehended at the intersection of Peabody Lane and Goldsmith Lane. Ballanger was charged with 2nd Degree Robbery, 3rd Degree Assault, Fleeing from Police and Disorderly Conduct.
He was lodged in the Jefferson County jail.

1997 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse
Prevalence of Drug Use in 1997 (Table 2.1)
Based on the 1997 NHSDA, more than one-third (36%) of the population was estimated to have used some illicit drug during their lifetime, about one-tenth (11%) used an illicit drug in the past year, and one-seventeenth (6%) were current users. Expressed in population counts, nearly 77 million persons had ever used at least one illicit drug, 24 million had done so during the past year, and almost 14 million had used an illicit drug within the past 30 days. For many users of illicit drugs, the only illicit drug that was used was marijuana. When marijuana is excluded from the list of illicit drugs, the population counts of lifetime, past year, and past month users are cut approximately in half.
About 71 million persons had ever used marijuana, reflecting its status as the most commonly used illicit drug; it had been used in the past year by over 19 million persons and in the past month by more than 11 million users. The second most commonly used illicit drug was cocaine, with 22.6 million lifetime users, over 4 million of whom had used cocaine in the past year and 1.5 million users in the past month. After marijuana and cocaine, the next most commonly used illicit drug categories were psychotherapeutic (i.e., prescription) drugs used nonmedically and hallucinogens, each of which were used in the lifetime by approximately 20 million persons. Over 12 million were estimated to have used inhalants, and 2 million persons had used heroin in their lifetime.
The relative differences in lifetime, past year, and past month use varied by type of drug. For example, the lifetime prevalence of both stimulants and analgesics was similar at just under 5%, yet current use of analgesics was twice as prevalent than current use of stimulants. Although lifetime use of phencyclidine (PCP) was three times greater than that for heroin (3% vs. 1%), the estimated prevalence of current heroin use was higher than the prevalence for current PCP use. Drug categories with a relatively high lifetime to current useratio, such as PCP, stimulants, and inhalants, tend to be drugs that either were popular at some point in the past but are no longer so widely used, or drugs that tend to be used experimentally or infrequently rather than on a regular basis.
Almost 82% of the population (about 177 million persons) was estimated to have had a drink of alcohol at least once (a drink was defined as 12 ounces of beer, 4 ounces of wine, or a shot of hard liquor). Nearly as many persons, over 152 million (almost 71%), had ever tried at least a puff or two from a cigarette at least once in their lifetime. In the past month, about half (51%) of the population aged 12 or older drank alcohol, while nearly 30% had at least a puff or two from at least one cigarette; these percentages represent 111 million current drinkers and 64 million current cigarette smokers. More than 37 million persons were estimated to have used smokeless tobacco at least once, including nearly 7 million who reported that they had used this form of tobacco during the month before their being interviewed.

Definition of lancelet in English:
lanceletSyllabification: lance·let
Pronunciation: /ˈlanslit /
A small elongated marine invertebrate that resembles a fish but lacks jaws and obvious sense organs. Lancelets possess a notochord and are among the most primitive chordates.
- Subphylum Cephalochordata, phylum Chordata: several species, including amphioxus
More example sentences
- Biologists could examine the many living animals (such as lancelets and sea squirts) that represented stages in the transition from the invertebrates to the earliest jawless fishes.
- In lancelets, the trunk somites extend and fuse ventrally to give the unsegmented periviscelar coelom.
- Unlike lancelets, however, Haikouella possessed a small number of pharyngeal bars that may have been composed of mucocartilage, as in modern lampreys.

Tori & Dean Talk Marriage Rumors: 'We're A Normal Married Couple'
Tori Spelling and Dean McDermott faced reports that their marriage was in trouble this week after footage from the fifth season of "Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood" reportedly leaked, but the couple told Access Hollywood's Maria Menounos that they don't have any plans to split up.
"We're a normal married couple and I think it gets heightened when it's in the press and you're in the public eye," Tori said. "No relationship is perfect. No marriage is perfect. There's ebbs and flows and we go through struggles just like everyone else."
For Dean's part, he told Maria that a few moments of the couple's reality show didn't tell the whole story.
"They can take a little thing from your relationship and spin it into whatever they want," he said.
"It starts to feed," Tori added. "The frenzy feeds and then it grows and grows and today we're [reportedly] divorcing."
Despite the rumors, the couple seemed to be attentive parents as their 3-year-old son, Liam, joined his mom and dad.
When Maria asked about their parenting styles, it was Liam who explained their roles.
"Is Daddy a bad cop?" Dean asked Liam.
"Yeah," Liam said.
"And what is Mommy?" Tori said.
"Good cop!" Liam said.
The couple, who has two children, — Liam and daughter Stella — told Maria they'd be open to more – eventually.
"We would consider having more," Tori said.
"We need a diaper break," Dean added. "There's a lot of diapers and a lot of poop in our life right now."

New Delhi: 100 days of Modi: Between rhetoric and reality
The dichotomy between perception and reality appears more pronounced when one starts assessing Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his performance in the first 100 days of his government. Is Modi really what he appears to be, or is he different? The man who talks of inclusive society and a riot-free India - does he mean it or is it just an attempt to deviate from his past? Is the PM really serious about South Asian solidarity or he is merely indulging in grandstanding? With more than a 100 days in office, the people of India are still struggling to decipher whether Modi is a perception or a reality ... or both.

Australia returns lost ancient art to India

The Dream Client
So often I'm asked who my dream client would be, as if by knowing the answer it would be that much easier to get an agent or get published. The truth is that my dream client is the one who writes books I love and makes me a lot of money. But I know that's not the answer you're looking for. So who is the dream client and what can you do to ensure that status with me and other agents?
* Understand that this is a business. Know that the sale of your first book does not give you the right to sit back, relax, and enjoy the fruit of your labor. Instead the dream client understands that that first contract is just the beginning and there's a lot of work still to be done.
* Communicate. I would so prefer the client who feels the need to call or email daily just to stay in touch than the one I never hear from. I can't be effective at my job if I don't know what your expectations are or even what you need in that moment.
* Publicize. I don't expect you to spend your entire advance on publicity and marketing, but I do hope that you are willing to get out there as much as possible to sell your book.
* Listen and learn, but not passively. Presumably you've hired me for a number of reasons, but the most important is to work with you to build a career. Therefore when you ask my opinion about what to write next, what we should be submitting or who we should be submitting to, I hope that you'll listen with an open mind. That does not mean that I expect you to sit quietly and do whatever I say, but I do hope that you'll give me credit for actually knowing what I'm talking about and that we can discuss any disagreements we might have and come to a middle ground. I also hope that you'll give me a chance to explain the reason for my decisions.
* Understand that I work for you, and not against you. Remember that the more successful you are, the more successful I am, so if I suggest that we not send out another book proposal right now or try to sell a fourth series, I'm not trying to hold you back. On the contrary, I'm trying to ensure that you have success with what you're doing and that you're able to focus on your current career. My job is to help you manage your career, and some of my responses might not be what you want to hear, but I'm also not the kind of agent who feels the need to pacify my clients just to make them happy. That's not in your best interest or mine.
* Move forward. I see this a lot. An author gets an agent or signs with a publisher and suddenly feels that everything she's ever written is publishable. Not true. My dream client isn't stuck in past, no matter how much she likes those stories, but is willing to let them all go and move on. That doesn't mean we can't discuss them or I can't read them. It just means that if I don't feel they are as strong as your current work, then you are willing to hear that. There is a reason I took you on or sold your current work and not the five stuck under your bed. Success moves forward, not backward.
And now it's your turn. What is your dream agent like?

New toolkit to help identify children at risk: Three in four youths with emotional and behavioral problems are not identified. In 2001 the U.S. Surgeon General called for development of a set of simple warning signs to help identify at-risk youths. The Action Signs Project, funded by the Center for Mental Health Services and the National Institute of Mental Health, has released a set of 11 action signs in a toolkit of dissemination materials and training guidelines designed for a variety of stakeholders. The 11 action signs, developed via review of epidemiologic data sets and based on DSM-IV criteria, are written in nonstigmatizing language, and to ensure that they are easily understood, developers sought input from more than 6,000 children and parents. The action signs alert physicians, teachers, parents, and others that children are at risk when they feel very sad or withdrawn for more than two weeks; try to harm themselves or make plans to do so; experience sudden overwhelming fear for no reason; are involved in many fights, use a weapon, or want to badly hurt others; display severe out-of-control behavior that can hurt themselves or others; are not eating or shows signs of throwing up or using laxatives to lose weight; have intense worries or fears that get in the way of daily activities; demonstrate extreme difficulty in concentrating or staying still that puts them in physical danger or causes school failure; repeatedly use drugs or alcohol; show severe mood swings that cause problems in relationships; and display drastic changes in behavior or personality. The toolkit includes a poster for use in doctors' offices and schools, handouts for parents and youths, and stickers for use as prompts in medical charts. The project was developed at the Center for the Advancement of Children's Mental Health at Columbia University-New York State Psychiatric Institute and completed by investigators at the REACH (Resource for Advancing Children's Health) Institute and at the Mayo Clinic. The 56-page toolkit is available on the REACH Web site at www.thereachinstitute.org/action-signs-static.html.

East Texas Review Dear Editor: I sincerely hope the Legislature will enact SB 1327. This bill deals with toll road construction projects and public utilities, which operate in the right-of-way. Currently, any cost of moving public utilities is shared between the utility (and thus its customers) and the toll road project. If SB 1327 is …

Dan Persse goes to Washington
Dan Persse, Blaine elementary PE teacher, recently traveled to Washington, D.C. to advocate for three different physical education bills to be considered this fall. Persse met with the educational advisors of Senators Maria Cantwell, Patty Murray, and U.S. Representative Rick Larsen to discuss the importance and impact the bills would have on the quality of physical education and the obesity epidemic overcoming our youth.
Persse later met with Larsen as well to discuss and highlight these three bills, the Fit Kids Act Bill, the PLAY Every Day Act Bill, and the Carol M. White Physical Education Program Bill.
The Fit Kids Act bill would include PE as part of the No Child Left Behind Act, which supports quality health and physical education as integral parts of the education of every child,
The PLAY Bill promotes the national recommendation of 60 minutes of physical activity per day for kids, families, and communities, and the Carol M. White Bill helps fund schools to initiate and improve K-12 PE programs.
Persse was invited to D.C. to participate with his National PE association, AAHPERD, because of his recent recognition as an elementary teacher of the year joining 15 others receiving such distinction.

New Shoes!
NOTE: THESE ARE INCOMPLETE. I still have not added all the colors I am planning to add. This is a work in progress and with update when they are finished.
Seeing as I am extremely exhausted and am currently having trouble finding my camera charger, I will do this the easy/lazy way(cell phone yaaay), and post real pictures up later…and I apologize for any inconvenience (:
I made these shoes for an art project. I had to pick two different artists, and do whatever I want with them. Recently, I have had this spontaneous obsession with Brandon Boyd(well, his art) and so decided to choose him as an artist(specifically his work for Hurley), and my second artist is Hokusai. I chose them because I love the way they paint waves, and decided I would love to make my own spin off of their work(which was the assignment; I'm not just copying these guys for the heck of it and claiming it as my own lol)
Aaaanywho; Originally, I was going to make two different pairs of shoes, one with each style of wave, butttt I got very bored in class, only had one pair, and was feeling rather creative, so I decided to make one pair with both types of waves and try to make them similar.
See Brandon's work here.
See Hokusai's work here.
Without the colors:
Side One(painting not done)
Side Two(same)
Next shoe(same pair) Side One(also not done)
Side Two(same)
Enjoy!! :D And let me know what you think?

text: Posted Online: Nov. 01, 2012, 7:15 pm Presidential campaign back at full throttle Comment on this story The Associated Press DOSWELL, Va. (AP) — Five days before the election, Republican challenger Mitt Romney and President Barack Obama vied forcefully for the mantle of change Thursday in a country thirsting for it after a painful recession and uneven recovery, pressing intense closing arguments in their unpredictably close race for the White House. Early voting topped 20 million ballots. A three-day lull that followed Superstorm Sandy ended abruptly, the president campaigning briskly across three battleground states and Romney piling up three stops in a fourth. The Republican also attacked with a tough new Spanish-language television ad in Florida showing Venezuela's leftist leader, Hugo Chavez, and Raul Castro's daughter, Mariela, saying they would vote for Obama. The storm intruded once again into the race, as New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed the president in a statement that said Sandy, which devastated his city, could be evidence of climate change. The ever-present polls charted a close race for the popular vote, and a series of tight battleground surveys suggested neither man could be confident of success in the competition for the 270 electoral votes that will decide the winner. The two parties also battled for control of the Senate in a series of 10 or more competitive campaigns. The possibility of a 50-50 tie loomed, or even a more unsettled outcome if former Gov. Angus King, of Maine, an independent, wins a three-way race and becomes majority-maker. Obama's aides left North Carolina off the president's itinerary in the campaign's final days, a decision that Republicans trumpeted as a virtual concession of the state.Yet Romney's team omitted Ohio and Wisconsin from a list of battlegrounds where they claimed narrow advantage. The challenger and running mate, Paul Ryan, slated separate weekend stops in Pennsylvania, a state long viewed as safe for the president. Republicans said the decision to campaign there reflected late momentum, and Democrats said it was mere desperation.

Sponsors gain as Olympics post big TV numbers
Skepticism about the size of NBC's audience had many sponsors wondering if they'd get their money's worth. But the real threat may be the Internet.
A number of large marketers like Pepsi (PEP) have stayed away from the Winter Olympic games. Nielsen numbers showed Saturday viewership was as high as 27 million households on the NBC network, while 32 million people watched the opening ceremony.
Some of the most popular programming, like hockey and downhill skiing, is still to come. In other words, Pepsi may have made a mistake.
USA Today reported that NBC may dodge the fate that most experts expected for the network. Early reports were that the General Electric (GE) division could lose tens of millions of dollars on the $820 million investment it made in the games. It now appears that the network has a chance to break even.
The Worldwide Olympic Sponsors who support the games throughout the year probably took the smallest risk by their involvement in the Vancouver games. Almost all of these have huge budgets so they put only modest sums, by their standards, of their money into the pot. This includes mega-marketers like Coke (KO), General Electric, Visa (V) and McDonald's (MCD). The official sponsors and suppliers of the Vancouver Olympics themselves take a greater risk based on TV ratings and attendance. Some of these companies, like 3M (MMM) and Ricoh, have more modest advertising budgets.
Check out MSN Money's New Investor Center
The real threat to the games and the companies that underwrite them may be the Internet, both during the games and in the future when digital access to live video will increase. NBC has its own Web site, but the Dutch site Nos also has video Olympic coverage as do several other sites based outside the U.S. File sharing site MyP2P has live streams which bypass the NBC coverage both on the network and online.

This year's Winter Olympics began with media skepticism about the size of the NBC TV audience and whether sponsors would get their money's worth. And they may end with the question of whether network television's access to a global audience will eventually be compromised by pirated content and the Internet as a way to bypass traditional programming.

Strong storms tore through parts of north Georgia on Monday night. Aerials views from SKYFOX 5 showed flattened trees across Meriwether County.
Cordie Hancock has witnessed plenty of storms in her 79 years, but she said this one shook her to her foundation. She spent Tuesday surveying the damage at the home and property generations of her family called home.
"Roof was damaged...the chimney was torn off and on the inside the sheet rock is falling," Hancock said.
The farm has a long history in her family, dating all the way back to her grandfather.
"He came out of the Civil War, he built on over 50 acres, he built a log cabin. And then he built this house and that's where my mother was born," said Hancock. "And I was born here too."
But Hancock says the loss of the pecan orchard is the toughest.
"Well, I thought of my granddaddy when he worked hard to set them out. 1927, I think," she said."My husband would shake them, shake the trees and Daddy would have us on Sunday afternoon picking up pecans."
Hancock's sister lived in the house until recently, when she moved into a nursing home.
"I'm just thankful that she wasn't in the house," Hancock said.

(FOX 11/ AP) The European Food Safety Authority has found that the artificial sweetener aspartame is safe for people to consume at the levels currently used in diet soft drinks.
After conducting a major review of evidence, the agency said Tuesday it has ruled out any "potential risk of aspartame causing damage to genes and inducing cancer."
The finding will be welcome news to Coca Cola Co., which recently launched an advertising campaign to dispel fears about Diet Coke after other studies showed that aspartame might be dangerous, leading to a fall in sales.
Aspartame, the sweetener used in Diet Coke, is also known under the brand name NutraSweet.
The ESFA, the European Union's food risk assessment agency, is based in Parma, Italy.
Many studies have looked for health effects in lab animals fed aspartame, often in doses higher than 4,000 mg/kg per day over their lifetimes. These studies have not found any health problems that are consistently linked with aspartame.
Two studies published by a group of Italian researchers suggested that very high doses of aspartame might increase the risk of some blood-related cancers (leukemias and lymphomas) in rats. However, both the FDA and the EFSA have called these results into question, citing a lack of some important data in the published studies and other concerns.
One early study suggested that an increased rate of brain tumors in the US during the 1980s might have been related to aspartame use. However, according to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the increase in brain tumor rates actually began back in the early 1970s, well before aspartame was in use. And most of the increase was seen in people age 70 and older, a group that was not exposed to the highest doses of aspartame.

Has Apple lost its cool to Samsung?
A marketing campaign that lampoons Apple has helped Samsung widen its lead in the global smartphone market, with a 28% share, up from 20% a year ago.
By Ian Sherr and Evan Ramstad, The Wall Street Journal
Samsung Electronics is succeeding where other technology companies have tried and failed: closing the coolness gap with Apple (AAPL).
The deep-pocketed Korean company has used a combination of engineering prowess, manufacturing heft and marketing savvy to create smartphones that can rival the iPhone in both sales and appeal.
Samsung, the market leader in smartphones, on Jan. 25 said its fourth-quarter profit surged 76% to a record high on the strength of smartphone sales, including its Galaxy S line. Many shoppers consider the latest version to be comparable to an iPhone -- in both design and technical features.
Apple, meanwhile, reignited concerns about demand for its iPhone 5 after reporting flat earnings for the holiday quarter, sending its stock down 14% in two days. The stock has also dropped 37% since hitting an all-time high on Sept. 19, just two days before the iPhone 5 launched in stores.
At that time, Samsung had just unleashed an aggressive marketing campaign including a television commercial that poked fun at the iPhone 5. "The next big thing is already here," the spot said, referring to its Galaxy S III phone.
The ad was part of a more than $200 million U.S. marketing blitz that Samsung launched in 2011 to lampoon Apple, according to Kantar Media. The creative vision for those ads was a former Nike (NKE) executive, Todd Pendleton, who now runs Samsung's marketing in the United States.
'It gets you thinking'
The campaign swayed consumers including Will Hernandez, an iPhone owner who bought a Samsung Galaxy S III three months ago after seeing Samsung's ads.
"If you see this stuff on TV enough, it gets you thinking," said Hernandez, a 34-year-old resident of Somerville, Mass., who adds that he likes how his Galaxy has a larger screen than the iPhone. "Now, when someone gives me an iPhone to look at a picture, it looks so tiny."
The marketing onslaught is helping Samsung widen the gap as the market leader. Samsung is estimated to have held 28% of the global smartphone market last year, up from 20% a year earlier, according to IHS iSuppli. Apple's share, meanwhile, isn't rising as quickly, moving to 20.5% in 2012 from 19% a year earlier.
Despite Samsung's advances, Apple generates higher revenue, and its profit in the latest quarter was twice as large as Samsung's. And even after its stock slump, Apple's market value of $413 billion is nearly double Samsung's $217 billion market cap.
A Samsung spokesman in Seoul declined to make executives available. An Apple spokeswoman declined to make executives available for interviews, but reiterated recent comments by Chief Executive Tim Cook. Cook has said Apple is "unwilling to cut corners in delivering the best customer experience in the world."
What Apple wasn't doing
While many analysts agree that Samsung isn't as innovative as Apple in terms of design and software capability, it has been able to match other electronics companies' products at a cheaper price.
Samsung's high-end smartphones are priced similarly to their iPhone counterparts in the U.S. But Samsung's devices have been significantly discounted at times, to less than a quarter of the sticker price in some cases.
Samsung owns its own manufacturing facilities where it builds screens, chips and other parts, allowing it to cut costs to make smartphones in a way that few other manufacturers can. Apple designs its own devices and some of the technologies it uses, but it relies on other companies, including Samsung, to help build its iPhones.
At the same time, the Korean electronics maker has capitalized on what Apple wasn't doing in the smartphone market. Even as Apple stuck to one new model each year with a narrow price band, Samsung released multiple smartphones in various shapes and sizes and with features such as larger screens.
Samsung was also quick to embrace Google's (GOOG) Android mobile software just as the operating system was becoming popular with consumers. That enabled the company to become the leading vendor of Android phones in the U.S.
The result is a two-horse race in which Apple appears to be seeing iPhone sales growth slow at a time when smartphones are set to become the majority of all cellphone sales.
Samsung's surge in smartphones has caused more than just consumers' switch from Apple. Some app developers have said they are now focusing more attention on Samsung devices.
Ken Yarmosh, the chief executive of Savvy Apps in Washington, D.C., said his company began by making apps for Apple's iOS operating system but lately has been focusing on Android as Samsung devices have become more prevalent, especially among his own company's testing devices.
"There was a major flip -- it was Apple, then if you have money, build for Android," Yarmosh said. "Now it's Android first, or Android only."
The intense competition has led to skirmishes between Apple and Samsung. In August, a federal court sided with Apple in a fight over patents, awarding it more than $1 billion in damages and saying Samsung had infringed many of Apple's patents. The two companies are also dueling in numerous courts worldwide over various other patents, including the design of their respective devices and the wireless technology that powers them.
Apple also appears to be responding to Samsung's growth by aiming to diversify its iPhone line, possibly including a cheaper iPhone line that could launch this year.
Of Heaven and Earth
Despite the threat from Samsung, Apple still sold a record 47 million iPhones in the latest quarter, and the two largest U.S. carriers, AT&T (T) and Verizon Wireless, said the majority of smartphones activated over the holidays were iPhones.
"Most people I know have iPhones," said David Barnard, founder of App Cubby, which makes utility programs for Apple devices. The iPhone's popularity is not what is at question, he added, but rather that Samsung has taken a smart tack by attacking Apple's hip image. "Painting the iPhone as a passé thing is such a perfect marketing message to counteract its coolness."
Samsung executives began taking aim in 2009 after Apple began selling the iPhone in South Korea, where it briefly became the top-seller of phones in the country.
"All this time we've been paying all our attention to Nokia (NOK)," then-new chief of Samsung's telecom business, J.K. Shin, wrote in a memo to top executives in February 2010, which was revealed publicly last year in a trial. "Yet when our (user experience) is compared with the unexpected competitor Apple's iPhone, the difference is truly that of Heaven and Earth."
A few months later, Samsung unveiled its answer to the iPhone, the Galaxy S, an Android-based model that had several distinctive features, such as an FM radio and front-facing camera. It also had an element that would eventually become an ace up its sleeve -- a bigger screen.
Apple released its iPhone 4 in mid-2010 with a new design and a front-facing camera. It far outsold the Samsung product, but the Galaxy S had made a mark and was on the radar of Apple's leaders.
Dora Daniels, 26, of Oakland, Calif., said she learned about Samsung's latest Galaxy S III because of giant ads plastered around a downtown San Francisco transit station.
"It's silly because I don't want to be a slave to marketing but it really got into my head," said Daniels, who recently switched to the Samsung phone from an older iPhone.

Super-black in this context means that very little light is reflected by the carbon nanotubes that a team at the US National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) have produced. From a July 17, 2013 NASA news release (also here on EurekAlert),
A NASA engineer has achieved yet another milestone in his quest to advance an emerging super-black nanotechnology that promises to make spacecraft instruments more sensitive without enlarging their size.
A team led by John Hagopian, an optics engineer at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md., has demonstrated that it can grow a uniform layer of carbon nanotubes through the use of another emerging technology called atomic layer deposition or ALD. The marriage of the two technologies now means that NASA can grow nanotubes on three-dimensional components, such as complex baffles and tubes commonly used in optical instruments.
"The significance of this is that we have new tools that can make NASA instruments more sensitive without making our telescopes bigger and bigger," Hagopian said. "This demonstrates the power of nanoscale technology, which is particularly applicable to a new class of less-expensive tiny satellites called Cubesats that NASA is developing to reduce the cost of space missions."
(It's the first time I've seen atomic layer deposition (ALD) described as an emerging technology; I've always thought of it as well established.) Here's a 2010 NASA video, which provides a good explanation of this team's work,
With the basic problem being less data due to light reflection from the instruments used to make the observations in space, the researchers determined that ALD might provide carbon nanotubes suitable for super-black instrumentation for space exploration. From the NASA news release,
To determine the viability of using ALD to create the catalyst layer, while Dwivedi [NASA Goddard co-investigator Vivek Dwivedi, University of Maryland] was building his new ALD reactor, Hagopian engaged through the Science Exchange the services of the Melbourne Centre for Nanofabrication (MCN), Australia's largest nanofabrication research center. The Science Exchange is an online community marketplace where scientific service providers can offer their services. The NASA team delivered a number of components, including an intricately shaped occulter used in a new NASA-developed instrument for observing planets around other stars.
Through this collaboration, the Australian team fine-tuned the recipe for laying down the catalyst layer — in other words, the precise instructions detailing the type of precursor gas, the reactor temperature and pressure needed to deposit a uniform foundation. "The iron films that we deposited initially were not as uniform as other coatings we have worked with, so we needed a methodical development process to achieve the outcomes that NASA needed for the next step," said Lachlan Hyde, MCN's expert in ALD.
The Australian team succeeded, Hagopian said. "We have successfully grown carbon nanotubes on the samples we provided to MCN and they demonstrate properties very similar to those we've grown using other techniques for applying the catalyst layer. This has really opened up the possibilities for us. Our goal of ultimately applying a carbon-nanotube coating to complex instrument parts is nearly realized."
For anyone who'd like a little more information about the Science Exchange, I posted about this scientific markeplace both on Sept. 2, 2011 after it was launched in August of that year and later on Dec. 19, 2011 in a followup about a specific nano project.
Getting back to super-black nanotechnology, here's what the NASA team produced, from the news release,
During the research, Hagopian tuned the nano-based super-black material, making it ideal for this application, absorbing on average more than 99 percent of the ultraviolet, visible, infrared and far-infrared light that strikes it — a never-before-achieved milestone that now promises to open new frontiers in scientific discovery. The material consists of a thin coating of multi-walled carbon nanotubes about 10,000 times thinner than a strand of human hair.
Once a laboratory novelty grown only on silicon, the NASA team now grows these forests of vertical carbon tubes on commonly used spacecraft materials, such as titanium, copper and stainless steel. Tiny gaps between the tubes collect and trap light, while the carbon absorbs the photons, preventing them from reflecting off surfaces. Because only a small fraction of light reflects off the coating, the human eye and sensitive detectors see the material as black.
Before growing this forest of nanotubes on instrument parts, however, materials scientists must first deposit a highly uniform foundation or catalyst layer of iron oxide that supports the nanotube growth. For ALD, technicians do this by placing a component or some other substrate material inside a reactor chamber and sequentially pulsing different types of gases to create an ultra-thin film whose layers are literally no thicker than a single atom. Once applied, scientists then are ready to actually grow the carbon nanotubes. They place the component in another oven and heat the part to about 1,832 F (750 C). While it heats, the component is bathed in carbon-containing feedstock gas.
Congratulations to the team, I gather they've been working on this light absorption project for quite a while.

Your running shoes are like the tires on your car. No matter how well you maintain them, eventually they're going to need a change. What's more, if they're not replaced in time – much like wheels out of alignment – worn out running shoes can start to wear you out as well. This is why it's crucial to know what symptoms to look for when it's time to lace up some new sneakers.

Perfect Hello Australia moment while travelling. Little Red's own toilet graffiti at the 'Aussie BBQ' venue during South By in Austin, Texas.
2011 was an interesting but tough year for me on a few levels but it was good. It didn't work out at all as I had originally planned but I am all the better for it.
I quit my job in Brisbane.
I took 3 months off.
I shovelled toxic flood sludge after the Brisbane floods.
I went to SXSW, again. I learned heaps during the interactive conference, again. I loved the music festival, again. I vowed to someday move to Austin, again.
I moved to Sydney.
I explored the city and fell in love with its beaches, culture, size, energy and people.
I did Rocktober, again. I failed to go to 31 gigs in 31 nights, again.
I got a new job in Sydney. Yay!!!
I finally started to collaborate to make ideas and side projects happen.
Am super excited about 2012. Feeling settled in the city now, working with an awesome agency and have a rad group of mates - will be owning next year fo shizz.
Best Saturday morning internet present ever!
Ciara O'Meara just posted a sketch of me! THANK YOU!
@robotcircus is this Fridays #twitollowersketch. Hope you like your sketch Anthony. Have a good weekend!
6 months late but I finally got my film developed from Austin.
I arrived in Austin yesterday and already feel like I am home again. It really is one of my favourite places in the world.
Am in town for SXSW. If you are also in Austin be sure to say hello via my Twitter (@robotcircus) and we'll go have a beer or some ribs.
If you are not at the festival but want to keep up with 5 days of geek updates from SXSW Interactive and 5 days of updates about indie bands from SXSW Music then follow my conference blog Fuck Yeah SXSW.

Claire Abshire is passionately in love with Henry De Tamble. She's known him since she was a girl. When she meets him again as a young woman in Chicago, Claire is ready to begin the romance of her life. But there's a catch. Henry has a rare genetic condition that causes him to become displaced in time at moments of stress. He suddenly finds himself decades in the past or future, naked and alone, with only the younger or older version of himself in on the secret. The Henry who Claire meets in Chicago hasn't traveled back to her childhood yet. So he's confused when beautiful, intelligent Claire approaches him, but certainly intrigued and definitely attracted. The romance of their lives does indeed begin—it just takes a few more years for Henry to catch up to their first meeting. The nuances of Henry's time traveling are intricate, but richly and delicately narrated in turns by Henry and Claire as they pursue their relationship in the past, present, and future. And despite the complexities of that relationship, the story is always told with heartfelt sincerity and emotion, not to mention a cast of finely-drawn characters and a few surprising twists and turns. The book is a best-seller and a film adaptation is a major motion picture; ultimately, The Time Traveler's Wife is a classic love story.

I bought this book awhile ago, before the movie was announced. I hadn't though twice about it, being busy with other things. When the movie came out, I figured I would read it before seeing the movie. This is possibly the best book I have ever read. I am 16, and I adore reading to no end. I have read many, many good books in my lifetime. However, I don't think I have ever read a book that was as well-written as this one. It was full of description and emotion and left me feeling so utterly satisfied, I can't even explain. If you are looking for an amazing read that you'll probably spend the whole day reading, this is it.

I agree wholheartedly with the others who commented. The characters are very real - complete with flaws and frialties. The story is fascinating. I am incredibly impressed at the author's ability to weave a story while one character ages in the traditional way, while the other gets younger as the book plays out. It sounds so very strange, but the author pulls it off incredibly - I've recommended it to everyone and am SO thrilled that one of my book clubs is now reading it. It's the last book my mother in law recommended to me before she passed away, so it has an even deeper meaning for me. I can't recommend it strongly enough!

I loved this book. It's one of those stories where you get so attached to the characters, you don't ever want to put the book down. It's so fun to read because there aren't many books like it. It's a really unique story line about this man who travels back in time, and each time he meets the same woman who he falls in love with. This story is about all the hardships they go through to see eachother and to be together. I recommend this book to anyone who likes a good love story.

Even though Kate Middleton -- is regal and stunning and carrying an honest-to-goodness heir to the throne -- she's oddly relatable. (Remember her rather nasty bout of morning sickness way back when? Poor dear.) She's a perfect mix of celebrity, girl next door, grace and youth.
And that's precisely why I'm quietly keeping my fingers crossed that she decides to breastfeed her new baby -- in public. I know! I know! She's a royal! What would the Queen say? It's would cause quite the stir, I'm sure. (Just like this wack-a-do breastfeeding portrait did.)
But that's exactly what breastfeeding needs. Breastfeeding, while clearly touted by every health organization out there, is still thought of as something crunchy folks do. People assume if you breastfeed -- especially in public -- that you are somehow making a statement. And, oh my, the people that get offended by it. Don't get me started with those people.
As a mom, as a former breast- and bottle-feeder, as someone who's sick and tired of parents judging each other, I think Kate could be the perfect woman to take the stigma out of breastfeeding and, I don't know, bring some civility to the table. She does have some groundbreaking footsteps she's following in, after all. Her late mother-in-law, the People's Princess -- Diana -- breastfed both her boys back in the early 1980s. "All of a sudden breastfeeding was the innovation and it became something women wanted to do because 'Oh the princess was doing it,'" wrote Delores James, Ph.D., RD, the lead author of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics position paper on breastfeeding.
Of course whatever Kate decides to do is 100 percent fine. It's hard enough to be a new parent. I cannot imagine what it must be like to have the world watching your every move. There's no hooter hider big enough for that kind of scrutiny. Just know, Kate, if you decide to do it, there will be many people cheering.
