His batting average might be dropping, but the Legend of Sam Fuld rolls on.
Last week, the unheralded, modest-sized outfielder for the Tampa Bay Rays — whose hustle and daredevil catches have made him an Internet and Twitter sensation — turned up on the All-Star ballot for the first time.
"If you had asked me three weeks ago," Fuld said, "I would have said you're crazy."
At Ferg's Sports Bar and Grill, a popular hangout across the street from Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla., more than 300 people — six times the normal weeknight crowd with the Rays on the road — turned out Thursday to watch 10 contestants compete in a Sam Fuld lookalike contest, owner Mark Ferguson said. The winner was an 8-year-old girl who darkened her face to simulate the former Cub's trim beard.
"Everyone was excited," Ferguson said. "The kid is like a legend."
Now, among Fuld's teammates, his name is synonymous with a standard of excellence.
After Rays utility man Ben
Zobrist homered twice and had 10 RBI in a day-night doubleheader sweep of the Minnesota Twins on Thursday, Zobrist pondered the achievement for a moment and said, "This must be what it's like to feel like Sam Fuld."
A throw-in by the Cubs in the eight-player deal for pitcher Matt Garza last winter, Fuld was hitting .350 and leading the American League with 10 stolen bases until skidding into a career-worst
0-for-18 stretch.
Fuld ended the drought Sunday with a leadoff double, but his average has dropped to .274.
No one expected Fuld, 29, to hit .350 all season. But Rays manager Joe Maddon said he thinks Fuld can be a productive every-day player. And even though Fuld has cooled, Maddon expects he'll draw significant All-Star support.
"You're going to be surprised by how many people actually vote for him," Maddon said. "You look at his numbers, they're pretty darn good. Beyond that, there are a lot of average Americans who can identify with this fellow. He's hard not to like. He's Everyman."
Fuld, a 10th-round pick by the Cubs in the 2004 draft, is listed as 5-10 but admits 5-8 or 5-9 is closer to the truth. Though Fuld had more walks (302) than strikeouts (254) in the minors and thrilled Cubs fans with fearless defense in call-ups over three seasons, he struggled at the plate as a major-leaguer with runners in scoring position. It took him 102 at-bats to collect his first RBI.
Last winter, with Alfonso Sori-
ano, Marlon Byrd and Kosuke
Fukudome locked in as outfield starters and Fuld out of minor-league options, the Cubs dealt him to the Rays.
"Different organizations look at different things," Fuld said. "Maybe the Rays might have
appreciated some of the things I did a little better than Chicago, but at the same time, [the Cubs] did give me chances."
Maddon worries about Fuld wearing down, though. Fuld takes daily insulin injections for Type 1 diabetes, a condition he has managed since he was 10.
"My biggest concern is keeping him strong," Maddon said.
With Fuld's popularity soaring, the Rays replaced a Manny Ramirez bobblehead night with a cape giveaway honoring Fuld on May 29. On Thursday, Fuld started his own Twitter account, @SamFuld5. By the end of the day, he had more than 4,000 followers.
"It's been overwhelming and, obviously, completely unexpected," Fuld said of the attention. "It can be a little fatiguing at times, but it's great."

Hot, sweet sauce coats the chicken and onions. Snow peas, broccoli or edamame would be a colorful vegetable side. I usually don't like spicy & hot sauce, yet I had to have the recipe after tasting this at my friends' house. The Sriracha sauce is like the Huy Fong sauce.

Robert P. McAleer is director of the Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), a post he has held since January 2007. He spent the majority of his career—nearly 30 years—as an officer in the Marine Corps, retiring at the rank of colonel. As battalion commander of the 2nd Marine Regiment, McAleer planned and executed the 1991 emergency evacuation of 280 civilians from the American Embassy in Somalia. From 1993 to 1996, he served as executive secretary for the Department of Defense (DoD), managing administrative functions. McAleer was later assistant chief of staff with the First Marine Division. His duties in this position included managing training plans for 20,000 people, while developing operational plans and coordinating support for global operations. Along with varied private-sector work in emergency response and homeland security, McAleer has been an adjunct staff member at the National Emergency Response and Rescue Training Center at Texas A&M University since 2004. He is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame and a recipient of the Bronze Star and Defense Distinguished Service medals.
Q. What are your office's responsibilities within the state?
A. In this office, we handle preparation, response, recovery, and mitigation. We're also responsible for the state's dam-safety program. We have about 757 dams in the state. Of those, 28 are what we call high-hazard, and 76 are significant-hazard and the rest are low-hazard. Overall, 186 are Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC)-controlled hydroelectric dams, and there are 51 dams over in New Hampshire, the water from which comes over into the state. So we've got a very busy dam inspector.
We've got about 23 full-time employees who handle the emergency management side, plus four in the homeland security side. So we're about the smallest homeland security agency in the country. And there isn't a day that goes by that we don't get surprised by something coming up that was not on anybody's calendar, that's for sure.
Q. What are some of the other major assets and risks your office focuses on?
A. In many ways, our risks and our assets are kind of the same thing. We're a rural state. I think a lot of people don't understand just how big we are: almost as large as the other five New England states put together. We have about 5,700 lakes and ponds, about 5 million acres of wetlands, 3,500 miles of coastline, 91,000 miles of stream and river shoreline, and 2,000 islands. So water, in whatever form, plays a big part in our lives up here. Basically, Maine is a state that lives real close to nature, and so we're oftentimes subject to her whims.
We've got about 2,200 miles of public highways and 6,000 miles of private rural roads. And we've got gas pipelines and natural gas distributors; we even have a high-level nuclear waste storage site from an old nuclear site. And then, because of where we are, we're a thoroughfare from Canada to the rest of the country. So you get an awful lot of hazardous material coming through.
Q. How has your background helped you on the job?
A. I spent just shy of 30 years in the Marine Corps as an infantry officer. I had any number of command positions, and I also worked at very senior levels within the DoD. I got a lot of international experience and a lot of background in operations and logistics. All the other things that are part of emergency management—responding to emergent events, multitasking—were very much a part of what I did. The National Incident Management System (NIMS) is basically a military model. So to me it makes absolutely perfect sense, and it's easy for me to make that transition.
Q. What's the biggest challenge you face?
A. You'd think it was dealing with hurricanes or floods. I think the biggest challenge that we face in Maine is dealing with and responding to the requirements levied on us by outside entities like the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). In many cases, the system is very supportive, but in others, it's almost overwhelming.
All of those DHS and FEMA people have a job, they've got an avenue that they're running, and all of those avenues bottleneck down here into a very small agency. And that's a real burden for us. If we could ever get a recognition of the difference in resources and capabilities between rural states and some of the more urban states, that would be a great thing for us.
Q. How, overall, would you describe your office's relationship with the federal government?
A. We belong to FEMA Region I, and we have an absolutely superb relationship with them. This past spring was an example. Late one afternoon, I sent an e-mail to Region I director Art Cleaves and said, "Art, we're getting hammered up here, we think we're going to need a snow emergency declared." That evening he called me at home and said "I've got two guys on the way."
Monday morning they were here to help us begin to formulate that. Wednesday afternoon, another person showed up. So in the course of less than a week, we were able to turn around a pretty complex package to get ready to submit to the federal government.
We also have a very supportive congressional delegation. We're particularly fortunate that we have Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME), ranking member of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. We literally can pick up the phone and talk to people on a first name basis, or they will call us to sound things out with us. That works really, really well.
I think if there was anything I could change with that, I'd love to see everything coming out of Washington, D.C., get filtered through FEMA Region I, regardless of the agency it came out of.
Q. How does your agency's budget break down?
A. Well, in addition to having one of the very smallest agencies, we have probably the smallest state-funded agency. Next year, it's going to be slightly shy of $600,000 of funding. Last year, we got about $9 million worth of federal funding, which means we're basically entirely dependent on federal funding at this point.
That's a challenge, and it's something that really worries me. If the federal dollars were ever to dry up, or if there was a requirement for a larger match of federal dollars than we currently have, I don't know how we would do it. And that does not even include our disaster funding. But that's the reality of being in Maine; that's all we can afford to do at this point.
Q. Has the state engaged the private sector in homeland security?
A. Absolutely. Again, with a small staff, we've got to figure out ways to leverage whatever assets we can. We have recognized, like most other states, that the private sector is a huge asset if you can get linked up with them in advance. We've developed an outreach program targeting the private sector to help keep their businesses going through continuity of operations but also so they would then be able to respond to our requirements.
We've established a memorandum of understanding with the Maine Contractors' Association, which is a tremendous asset. We can call one guy, he can reach out in that organization, and we can have any kind of piece of equipment that we need rolling almost instantly. We have a very close relationship with the Maine Motor Transport Association, and we're increasing links with ASIS International to talk to them about security issues. Our utilities folks, the power companies, they actually get on the conference calls when we're getting ready for some sort of weather event, and they'll be right on there hearing it from the National Weather Service, just like us.
Q. Have any recent exercises or responses produced valuable lessons?
A. I know that it is happening out there. One of my county directors told me the story of a four-alarm fire at a private home. The incident manager was a local fire chief, and he had established his incident command structure by the book. The fire's going on, and four different companies have responded to it, and he said, "You know, I'm bored." Everybody was doing their job. So it's happening, and we're hearing more stories like that. As they see the NIMS incident command system implemented, and how it works and how well it can work, we get more and more believers.
Q. What are the agency's goals for the coming year?
A. The hardest thing for us to do is get all our plans done, whether it's point-of-distribution plans, pandemic flu plans, evacuation plans, or school plans. They're very, very time consuming, and each takes a special skill level. Then, of course, it's one thing to have a plan, but being proficient in the execution of that plan is another thing. And that takes time and hard work. We're trying to dovetail our training and exercise program with those plans to make sure that they are being exercised in a regular way so that we can identify any shortfalls.

I believe it has something to allow the player to apply for financial aide or something along those lines
Good read once you decipher all the garbage ! Loved the comments he made about Coach Johnson, could be one of the deciding factors.
Raekwon McMiillan
They probably have a future at FSU, those things kinda get overlooked there.
You gotta love it ! Kid isn't gonna be here for another 2 years and is already helping to recruit the best players in OHIO ! Danny Clark bleeds scarlet and gray !!!
Track speed, football speed, fast is just fast ! I thought this guy just had track speed ! Hmmmm.......
"Why should he have to go to class if he came here to play FOOTBALL, he ain't come to play SCHOOL, classes are POINTLESS"
I have to agree with Birm, I think if given a chance Settle will follow Hand.
So is there any other real information about the Mitchell transfer ? Seems that the reason/excuse for his transfer was because of the illness of his father, but at the time it seemed that it may or may not have any influence on Mickey. I also heard that chances are he'll never step on a football field again. Are there "sour grapes" because of the red shirt, or is the reason truly because of the family illness? Seems like his impending transfer is "hurting" us in a way with recruiting in that area. From watching Mike's tape, I always thought he was a freakish athlete, but his skills were "raw" and really needed to be coached.
I'm thinking I'd really like to land Damien Harris, not just to give TSUN the middle finger again, but I think the kid is gonna be a stud.
There's really nothing more to see here, if he wanted to be a buckeye he would. I'm sure he will be a good player at the next level but if he doesn't bleed scarlet and gray then we should just move on.
Holy McCracken Batman !!!
Should have asked him when Raekwon McMillan is going to commit opening the flood gates from Georgia.
I have to agree Charlotte, I think there will have to be a showergate at Pitt for him not to go there.
OSU 5-0 Baylor 3-1 \ I'd rather be a Buckeye !!!
I would have said Mike McCray, but it's an offensive player.

CCi Saddle Shop
Imus 4-Beat Saddle
Trail Saddles
For Sale on eBay
Manufacturer: CCi Saddle Shop
Model: Imus 4-Beat Saddle
Category: Trail Saddles
Purchase: I purchased this saddle last month from National Bridle Shop for $1,699.
Likes: Everything!
Dislikes: I've been through more saddles than I can count trying to fit my two gaited horses. I finally rode a treeless saddle for about a year, but as I'm a big gal I knew that wasn't best for the horses. I kept reading great things about this saddle, but was wary since I couldn't go to a tack store and see it first hand. A friend bought a used Imus saddle, I tried it, and fell in love with it immediately. My horses are both gaiting better than ever (they used to only pace), and I can ride in comfort all day long. This saddle is AWESOME!
Quality: The saddles are being built by inmates at Colorado Correctional Institution, and I must say they must take great pride in their work. My friend's used Imus is nice, but we did a head-to-head comparison, and mine is built with even more meticulous care. The leather is soft and has already broke in nicely. The forward stirrups take the strain off my knees, which no longer hurt after a ride.
Summary: I can't say enough good things about this saddle. My husband has ridden a big Western stock saddle for years, but after riding my Imus he ordered one for himself. Another friend is saving up for one too. It's hard to describe how much more I feel "with" my boys Harley and Charlie. If you have a gaited horse this is THE saddle to buy. Brenda works with gaited horses, and her expertise is very evident in her products.

Black History Tribute
Lest we forget, lest we ever forget
Blood bleeds from our own hands.
Lest we live with regrets, live bitter regret
Blood on the leaves, seeps into the land
Seeds fed on the sweat of black brows
Blood bled from fallen angels on ominous clouds
Gaves whitewashed they forgot
But black history marched on
Stained and ingrained in mind from hand
So much we overcame, so few understand
Buried and forgotten in shallow graves
Chained and enslaved
A little change makes it all stay the same
New chains, economic new slaves
Graves whitewashed they forgot
But black history kept on marching on
Sophisticated slavery and invisible shackles
The war wages on, battle after battle
How will you experience emancipation
When the mansion you lust for,
was built on the damned plantation
Graves whitewashed they forgot
But black history keeps marching on.

My wife and I chose to go to a B&B for the weekend. I had never been to one, so really did not know what to expect. After arriving at the Villa, I was pleasantly surprised. Linda greeted us with a bright smile and a hug, very much what a southern greeting is supposed to be. The room we had was very nice with a jacuzzi tub. The antiques were an extremely nice touch, as the Villa is celebrating 100 years. As I stated, I had never been to a B&B before this weekend, so I cannot really compare prices. However, the wonderful breakfast, attention to detail (as well as our ever need) and the overall hospitality of the owner, makes the Villa an outstanding value for the money. Linda was very accommodating and a terrific hostess. My wife and I have already decided we will be back. The personal attention one gets at this B&B is like nothing you will ever receive from a hotel. I would not only rate my stay as very high, but would highly recommend the Villa to everyone!

Linda made my 4 day stay at the B&B a peaceful and serene getaway while visiting relatives. My room was beautiful and the entire B&B is decorated with gorgeous antiques. Linda's breakfasts were outstanding. Her salute to the troops at breakfast was very moving and memorable. Thank you for such a wonderful experience on my vacation. I will be back the next time I am in Galveston.

Linda is the best hostess! My husband and I stayed for the weekend to celebrate my birthday and felt completely at home. Started off with a big warm welcome and it just got better from there. We are going back in December to celebrate our wedding anniversary and are looking forward to it! We highly recommend to all people looking to relax, have a good weekend, and a lovely home cooked breakfast each morning. See you soon Linda!

My wife booked the Villa for our 7th wedding anniversary and it was fabulous. The owner, Linda really knows her craft. Without a doubt, she made the experience very special for us. We had heard that the breakfasts were good and we were not disappointed, certainly much nicer than anything I do for myself. I loved the antiques that she had throughout the house and she was gracious enough to take the time to run done some of the history on them with us. She clearly cares for each and every guest and we will certainly keep her number handy for our next visit.

Linda is a wonderful hostess. The rooms are great. We stayed in the Provence Room. Wish we could have had a shower, but the Jaccuzzi tub was great. The most comfortable bed ever!! Wish we could have had more choices for breakfast. They were very heavy - esp 5 days in a row. Love you Linda & Taz! Recommend 2 nights in a row at most!

We enjoyed staying at The Villa for our 7th anniversary. The house was interesting with many antiques. Linda, the innkeeper, cooks a yummy three course breakfast and has had a very interesting life. She also has the cutest little dog who greets you every evening upon returning. The jacuzzi in our room was nice and we didn't mind there not being a stand-alone shower. The room was bright and open and you could hear birds chirping first thing in the morning. The location of the B&B was very central and perfect for going to the strand or Pleasure Pear and the beach.

Enjoyed the eclectic decorations and antiques. Linda is a very welcoming and helpful host. She made suggestions that enhanced our enjoyment of Galveston and area. Good location between the sea wall area and the historic downtown.

Your trip to beautiful Galvaston will not be complete without a stay at this wonderful Bed & Breakfast. I surprised my wife on late friday afternoon with a heartfelt "Pack your bags sweety… we're leaving for the weekend." Half the way there, I told her we were staying at this great B&B in Galvaston. Never having stayed at a B&B before, I was a little worried she would be disappointed. However, our host "Aunt Linda" welcomed us like a very dear, old friends and from there, the kindness and hospitality never stopped. Beautifully detailed with everything you come to a B&B for, you will truly love this one. I assure you, that, you will tell your friends and start making plans to return once you meet Linda and stay in her magnificent,120 year old pink home. When you arrive, tell Linda that Neal & Clara (Georgetown, TX) say hi!

by Dr. Buono in the November 10 Northern Express. While I applaud your enthusiasm embracing a market solution for global climate change and believe that this is a vital piece of the overall approach, it is almost laughable and at least naive to believe that your Representative Mr.
Penn State's punishment
"...the fundamental chapter of this horrific story should focus on the innocent children and the powerful people who let them down."
-- Ed Ray, chairman of the NCAA's executive committee
A months-long coma would have been the only way to have escaped hearing of the tragic events at Penn State. At first, the sickening realization that former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually abused at least eight underage boys on or near university property. Then the deep disappointment in learning an investigation by former FBI director Louis Freeh found school officials, including the school president and vice president, head football coach Joe Paterno, and athletic director had known about the allegations of child abuse as early as 1998, but failed to disclose them.
Now the NCAA has handed down penalties that some say are close to a "death penalty" for the school's football program, including a $60 million fine, four year bowl-ban, loss of some scholarships and withdrawal of wins dating back to 1998. The statue honoring Joe Paterno has been removed by the university. Sadly ironic, the statue's inscription reads, "Educator, Coach, Humanitarian."
These appalling events and revelations have shed light on behaviors most people would rather not examine. Yet it also creates awareness of deep-seated cultural attitudes and hopefully a willingness to learn more about ourselves, our society and what we value...

Steve Jobs unveils 30% subs model for ... everything
Apple finally unveiled the shape of its new subscription model for the App store today, confirming that it will force magazine and newspaper publishers to hand over 30 per cent of their cover price. Cupertino billed its take-it-or-leave-it T&Cs as "the same innovative digital subscription billing service that Apple recently …
Hang on...
>when the publisher brings an existing or new subscriber to the app,
>the publisher keeps 100 per cent and Apple earns nothing...
So what they're *actually* saying is you can:
A) Use the iTunes infrastructure and pay 30% for the privilege
B) Build your own payment/security/etc infrastructure and keep 100% yourself
I fail to see what the problem is with this - you can have it either way.
Your article seems to suggest that *only* A) is available.
Who cares about the infrastructure
It is the "fix it when it is broken" process which is what really interests content owners so that all the paid content does not suddenly end up as a torrent on Pirate Bay.
Apple has demonstrated to everyone that it will fix again and again and again jail-breaking holes and apply whatever stick and carrot it takes to keep its phones reasonably secure.
Want to try doing that with your app and infrastructure for 30% of the iTunes take? Unless you are someone the size of Viacom or News Corps your 30% will simply not go far enough.
So overall, this is actually a pretty good deal for a content publisher.
Alas, not so
If only that were the case.
Apple now *require* publishers to offer an in-app single click option if there is an outside-app version, *and* publishers can't provide links to external locations where the outside-app version is *and* publishers can't offer better prices outside the app.
I wouldn't mind if we had equal opportunity to promote our own version, but I think few end-users will see the choice of 'click here' versus 'go to your web browser and type this address in, and then go through hoops' as being competitive; Apple now require us to cripple our outside app systems so the in-app version is far superior for the end-user.
Only if you don't read the article...
...does it seem to suggest that "*only* A) is available".
If you use your brain, parse the sentences and comprehend the meaning behind the words then you'll see that the article states that "Publishers are still permitted to "leverage other methods for acquiring digital subscribers outside of the app," – ie, sell digital subscriptions on their website without having fork out cash to Apple"
I know that the internet appears to have caused everybody's brains to have dribbled out of their ears but, seriously, saying an article doesn't make something clear when it's written there in clear English beggars belief.
tomorrows news
non appstore/itunes authentication code will be banned from appstore
come on... even a mactard should see that coming
Choice between A) easy and B) hard is left to users
The problem is that users are likely to prefer buying from their shiny iThing. The easiest way to do that is to use iTunes, since the new T&C FORBID putting a link to the web site of the publisher to allow the customer to purchase content or subscriptions outside of the app.
The users can click twice and have the content through iTunes, or they can go hunt for the website of the publisher by hand. So practically every user will use iTunes, as they do not care who gets the money, and they want to have what they want, fast.
So basically, the publishers have to offer users the possibility of buying content in a much more easier way that makes them lose 30%. And they have to make the other possibility harder. I am not sure many publishers have a 30% margin they can give away like that...
tomorrow's news preview today
You can also get a glimpse in Apple's pronouncement and language that they will soon move to installing the App Store as the default method for software installation for Mac OS X. Over time, they will make it more and more difficult to install software on your own computer unless you go through the Apple app store.
@Ian Wellock - Re: Alas, not so
"but I think few end-users will see the choice of 'click here' versus 'go to your web browser and type this address in, and then go through hoops' as being competitive"
No, end-users won't consider the competitive issue at all, we just want our content. We'll choose the easiest path to get it. If it's a single button click inside the app, that's perfect and a lot easier than mucking about on some website.
But also - if the only way to get the content is to go to your website and go through hoops, then we'll go get the content from another provider using their app that does allow for single click access, because that's a lot easier than the going through hoops.
Apple care more about the end users than they do about the publishers and that's just horrific isn't it?
@ jai
<quote>Apple care more about the end users than they do about the publishers and that's just horrific isn't it?</quote>
The ONLY thing relating to the 'end users' that Apple care about is their MONEY. Anyone who thinks different is a deluded iFucktard.
Wake up and smell what you are shovelling.
@ Alex Rose
Your condescension is appreciated.
no diff pricing outside the app?
>>>Apple now *require* publishers to offer an in-app single click option if there is an outside-app version, *and* publishers can't provide links to external locations where the outside-app version is *and* publishers can't offer better prices outside the app.<<<
Wow! Publishers are not allowed to offer better prices outside the app? That's new (it was allowed as far as known last week from what I read). That is a ludicrous requirement - I would expect in-app content to cost 42% more (to cover Apple's 30%) - otherwise, the publisher is going to lose money (and likely withdraw iOS support (bad for users and Apple)).
Alan Denman
I'm left wondering what will happen to all of those convenient shopping apps.
With 30% Apple tax and then adding on another 20% VAT will mean 50% + in tax!
Shopping hell?
Credibility. Have you heard of it ?
"It's almost certainly going to be too much for Amazon, who may discontinue their iOS Kindle app"
huh ? Amazon already provides their own payment platform. Do you have a source for this, is it pure provocative invention (as usual) ?
There is a tune for that
Money for Nothing by Dire Straits!
Would Apple change their mind (and the T&Cs) if almost every single book and magazine provider suddenly pulls out of the Apple App store? Publishers, rise up and unite... no wait... :(
A "good" idea
This is actually a good idea. If all the providors of content leave the Apple platform, it won't be as attractive to consumers.
The people will go to where things work - ironically the iPhone is the proof. Mnay consumers wouldn't have bought an iPhone if it hadn't been innovative and the best at the time. There's plenty else out there in the marketplace now.
Don't get me wrong, there will always be Fanbois out there who'll buy any old shit. But would Apple rather have 100 million users, or 50 million users????
My next phone won't be another iPhone even although I like some of the features.
Dear Publishers,
Think very, very carefully before you embrace that shiny new appley world. Have a look at iTunes and wonder if the major music publishers ever regret handing control of digital distribution over to Mr. Jobs.
Then build a decent website and keep your 30%.
Innovative? Me thinks not
According to most dictionaries:
Innovate - to introduce something new; make changes in anything established
Innovative - using or showing new methods, ideas, etc.
According to Steve Jobs:
Innovate - we will screw you and there is nothing you can do about it!
Yes, the media only have themselves to blame for perpetuating their dinosaurus models.
Mines the one with the new innovative contract in the pocket.
Not as bad as I'd feared
I have a Direct Debit subscription to The Economist. Thankfully the T&Cs mean that I will continue to be able to use the app but still be able to pay directly to The Economist so that they get all the money.
I would hate to lose the Economist app but I would stop using it instantly if I was forced to pay through iTunes such that all of the subscription fee did not go to The Economist.
How cunning and devious...
This, to me, looks like Apple's attempt to corner the market. Line up the largest and most promising content providers first, and then charge a horrendously high premium so as to *ock bl*ck the other news-media pad devices. At 30%, these publishers most likely will be unable to afford to spend resources developing content appearance for other devices (formatting, labor, time, security, subscriptions...)
Alternatively, the publishers might higher subscription rates on other to attempt to make up for Apple's long-part-milling-machine effect on them...
Yes, that's exactly how capitalism works
I'm pretty sure British Gas will soon be putting their gas prices up until they are 1000 times higher than their competitors, then their customers won't be able to afford to look for an alternative supplier.
Not an exact analogy I know, but for the love of god can you people not use your brains before posting this drivel?
You seriously suspect that Apple putting its prices high will DIScourage content providers from seeking an alternative distribution method? By that logic Apple should be charging at least 100%, then no one else will be able to get a look in. In fact why don't they charge 200%, they'll be sure to be left as the only game in town if they do that!
Alex Rose - you are an idiot! What he is saying is that content providers will not be able to afford to redesign their content for other platforms if Apple take 30%, not that Apples high charge will discourage them from looking for different platforms!
And British Gas are a completely different kind of business so you can't use them as an analogy, unless you are talking about them creating an App that allows you to see your gas/electric usage!
Living Marxism
Is that like "History Today" - the only interesting thing when I were dreaming through the delights of Sutton Hoo in history lessons...
History Today?
Is that the one that goes along the lines of-
"Professor, do you see that pile of dog poo?"
"I am aware of it."
"That's your iPad case, that is."
Even if the had their own
Even if the had their own system, my understanding is that Apple would still want 30% before allowing content purchased through another system to be viewed on an iTunes device.
kindle may still work
-amazon will have the billing and auth services, and even if apple want 30% of all in-app purchases, there's nothing to stop you browsing over to amazon.com in safari, logging in and buying some kindle books there, books that could trickle over.
That said, Mr J probably views all customers who buy stuff online on one of his browsers as something he deserves a commission on. How every AOLy
Missing the point
If Amazon do this, they are required to charge no more on their own site than they do on the Apple Store. So a £10 sale on Amazon.co* is £10 to Amazon, but the same £10 sale on the Apple Store is £7 to Amazon and £3 to Das Apfelreich. Sure, there's nothing stopping you browsing over to Amazon to buy other than laziness - but people like convenience and to the customer it's the same price wherever they go, so why would they bother? There's no reason to do it unless you want to deny Apple your money, and if you wanted to do that you wouldn't have bought an iPhone in the first place.
^^ Plus 1 ^^
Simply for the use of the phrase "Das Apfelreich"
Does that mean 30% and no questions asked about content?
Or 30% if it passes Jobs' board of censors.
I think I know the answer... Monopoly on payment and content can't be good.
our-way-AND-the-highway deal
just fixed that for you.
where is the uproar when a magazine stand takes it's cut?
where is the uproar when a magazine stand takes it's cut?
it is just amazing that people aren't up in arms that a magazine retail store is taking it's cut, or the guy with a push cart selling papers on the street takes his cut...
are people really that naive? let's get a life out there....
these newspapers want to charge the same price, even though they have no printing costs, WHICH IS A HUGE SAVINGS..... let the person hawking your magazine or newspaper take their cut... geesh...
what's next? a lynch mob for the paper boy?
Bad analogy
A newspaper stand has to compete with the big shop down the road and the newsagent across the street. They have to remain competitive by charging as low as possible whilst still retaining a profit.
You're also forgetting the major problem for publishers here: they lose a market signal. They are no longer able to accurately measure their subscription audience composition, which means their advertising revenue will be hit as they are no longer able to accurately describe the market segment they cater to and will no longer be able to adjust their content to the segments they want to cater to, which means that they'll lose market share, and hence even more revenue. They stand to lose a fortune. This is not like the news stand, which is frankly a sideshow for most publications where they make extra money on top of their subscriber base. This is apple attempting to insert itself between subscribers and the publisher in order to control the flow if information between the two.
you do realize magazines cost more on newstands?
and you keep the news stand markup when you subscribe directly??? how would your point even be relevant here?http://www.theregister.co.uk/Design/graphics/icons/comment/fail_32.png
Actually, you need to take your analogy a step further. The billing should be done by the carriers, who take a small share (e.g. the magazine stand landlord who HANDS YOU your magazine), who then pass on a bit to the publishers (who provide him the content)?
So where is Apple in this? Well I guess Apple with their App store performs one of many roles analogous to a magazine stand: signage, advertising, packaging etc. and should also get a share from the magazine stand owner. The point is that the START of the value chain should not be Apple, but the point of delivery. After all Apple DON'T create the content (media house) NOR deliver it to you (operator). When was the last time you paid the advertiser for your magazine? The only role of the APP Store is a pretty shop front - and without the operators one which cannot even be visited or deliver.
* Note the contrast of the Apple business model already emerging in HP's announcements and the Nokia/MS tie up of 'carrier billing'. Apple are slowly coming under attack from the operators finding friends in other places and now they are planning to p1ss off their suppliers too?
Do you think most magazine stands get a 30% profit of the cover price?
@Graham Dawson
Of course, the side effect of this is that apple will be in the perfect position to accurately describe market segments, for all those who bought this subscription, or that one. That will be worth a lot to them for the advert revenue alone.
Remember that ad company that apple bought not so long ago...?
Why so negative?
Why are you being so harsh to apple about this model? I was highly negative of this myself initially, but only because I got the impression that publisher would be forced to do everything through apple. Now it seems that publishers have the choice to still sell through their own channels and take the full price. So newspapers are still able to give their (hardcopy) subscribers access to the digital version without paying Apple, and can still maintain a record of their subscribers (as long as they are not subscribed through Apple).
I think that takes most of the sting out of the subscription plan.
Why would anyone do business with this cabal?
As I posted just earlier today (on a article relating to Apple's human abuses in China)
"The point is Apple will continue to abuse their employees, foreign partner workers and THEIR CUSTOMERS as much as they can get away with it."
oops, I obviously forgot their domestic business partners as well....
"The point is Apple will continue to abuse ANYONE as much as they can get away with it."
There all fixed now....
"A surprisingly attractive Trotskyite"
In turtleneck sweaters?
"Belgian regulators have already been sniffing around Apple's subs plan. Now they'll be able to get stuck in proper."
They should not. Let's see what "the market" will do for once. "Sniffing around" just builds the Bruxelles Bureaucracy. Don't feed the cancer!
I think Kindle is already compliant
The fact that Kindle brings up a Safari session on the iOS device might be a bit dodgy in Apple's eyes but there's a simple solution to that: New Kindle app where the user must sign in once for unlimited whisper sync healthy goodness (and users can still load Safari themselves and go to the Amazon website).
I'm sure Sony could do the same. Incidentally though, both Amazon and Sony may still end up victims of Apple's selectiveness when it comes to applying (and indeed making up) the rules. I suspect eventually, there's a day in court for that (and both Amazon and Sony which end of the lawyer to point at Apple if need be).
Anti trust investigation?
One can be but moments away somewhere or other in the world.
Charging a percentage is a bit dum, smacks of profiteering, and is surely designed to allow Apple to corner the market for itself. I would be mightly surprised if Apple charged themselves 30% for their own content distribution.
If they had set a flat rate then it would be easier to believe that they're merely out to recover costs + plus a small margin.
Having said that, my previous experience with on line subscribing to a newspaper's home brewed paid content was deeply unsatisfactory. It smacked of a bunch of amateurs not caring that they had your money but were failing to deliver on their contractural promises. Apple will probably do a much better job than that.
But I doubt that Apple appreciate just how popular Amazon's Kindle is becoming. Everyone I know has one / is going to get one. I know one person with an iPad. The content providers will soon start noticing and wondering whether Amazon are going to screw them as much as Apple are. With colour e-readers (capable of full video too!) just round the corner I think that iSomethings are going to start looking mighty expensive and rubbish for written content.
On the topic of Kindles, their success just goes to show how important getting the content provision right is. Sony have had an e-reader out for ages, didn't do so well because there was no substantial source for books. Amazon got it right; everyone knows that Amazon sells books, so it was no surprise to anyone that they could sell e-reader books too. Sony should have got in to bed with Amazon years ago. Too late now!
where are the fanboi defence force?
In the run up to this non surprise the fanboi where out in force preaching how it wasnt going to be this.
And lo and behold it came to pass that it was going to be this.
Come on Michael and Sean and all the rest of the apologists lets here you spin this one!
Why bother?
As soon as there's an article on Apple you all dive in saying how they're evil and doomed no matter what the facts of the article are.
I'm neither a fanboy or a hatergirl and so I'm unwilling to debate with either polarised camp. It's like the Daily Mail of IT with everyone who doesn't have a rooted Android phone dismissed as a fanboy regardless of their argument.
This is big Steve.
He's very worried about your business model. he is so worried that, in return for 30% of all takings, he will protect you from teams of rabid lawyers and corporate bribery.
I'm going to be controversial here.
So, a publisher can do their own thing and earn the 'extra' 30% themselves. Great and all, but that assumes that they won't spend at least the equivalent on their own infrastructure. If you don't already have the infrastructure to handle that kind of billing, with the support systems in place, with regulatory compliance etc. etc. you may well find you spend more than 30% on such.
And in plenty of cases, 70% of the revenue going to the publisher is actually higher than in other media...
My issue with this ...
That's almost true, except that Apple will REJECT your App if you do your own thing in competition with Apple's payment method.
You CANNOT have secure payment pages within your app or link to them outside the app. That's nuts. And you cannot install your app on a device without approval.
It's an apparent conflict, in my opinion. I think it'd be fine to give the users a choice, but the choice is so slanted that it's not really fair to the users at all.
"...when Apple brings a new subscriber to the app, Apple earns a 30 per cent share...."
So Apple is promising content producers how much advertising for this 30 percent share?
Providing a purchasing mechanism is as much "bringing a new subscriber" in as providing a bicycle is "transporting you across the country."

This book kind of started out slow and there were a lot of characters introduced all at once. They were kind of hard to keep track of at first. However, when I got into this book I couldn't put it down and finished it in 3 days. I fell in love with the characters and have been thinking about them ever since finishing the book. Great book!

Did you catch the awards show last night? In case you missed it: Ellen DeGeneres played host; Jennifer Lawrence fell on the way into the venue; there was plenty of selfie-taking (including this gem); and we got to see A-list actors eat pizza. Oh, plus a bunch of awards were given out or whatever.
So that pretty much catches you up to speed on the ceremony portion. But in addition to that, there were several musical performances. While music may seem out of place at an award show created strictly to pay homage to the film industry, most of the performances were actually of the songs nominated for "Best Original Song." There was also an impromptu number by Darlene Love and an "In Memoriam" tribute. Here are the top 3 from last night's show:
Pharrell and his infamous hat kicked off the evening's performances. "Happy," which was on the "Despicable Me 2" soundtrack, is a fun, upbeat song that received an equally fun and upbeat performance by Pharrell. It featured a bunch of young kids dancing around onstage; Pharrell himself ventured into the audience and brought some of the A-listers to their feet, including Lupita N'yongo, Amy Adams, and Meryl Streep. Plus: we can't forget the minions on the giant screen at the back of the stage. Cute!

Pop stars Shakira and Rihanna made headlines recently when they teamed up for a duet, "Can't Remember to Forget You," and a subsequently racy video to go along with it. Recently, fellow singers Lady Gaga and Christina Aguilera teamed up for a remix of Gaga's single "Do What U Want." I'm all about duets between female pop stars because I think it rails against the idea that two women doing similar things must automatically be in competition with one another &mdahs; and because the songs are always so good. Here are 5 other duets we should celebrate, in honor of Shakira/Rihanna and Gaga/Christina!

Is a Miley Cyrus song better when it has nothing to do with Miley Cyrus at all? VCU Pep Band decided to test that theory when they tackled Miley's song, "Wrecking Ball," doing an instrumental (and pretty dope) version of the song during the VCU vs. George Mason game on Thursday. It's worth a full watch, but watch at 1:48 for the kitty in outer space, a nod to Miley's American Music Awards performance. Nicely done.

You've probably heard the version of Lady Gaga's latest single, "Do What U Want," featuring R. Kelly. She performed it on a handful of award shows and it's also played pretty regularly on most top 40 radio stations.
However, Gaga recently stopped by "The Voice," where Christina Aguilera stepped in for an absent R. Kelly to complete the duet. Gaga released an official, slightly remixed version featuring Aguilera, which can be heard at right.
Which version do you prefer?
Britney Spares kicked off her two-year Las Vegas residency on Friday at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino. "Britney: Piece of Me" features a song list (included behind the cut below) that feels a mile long and includes some of the singers biggest hits.
Friday's show was the first of almost 100 scheduled performances that will take place over the next two years. It included a star-studded audience, including fellow pop stars like Katy Perry and Miley Cyrus.

Clients pushed back investments or launches in Q4 2013, says Maurice Lévy
Maurice Lévy, the chairman and chief executive of Publicis Groupe, has hinted the group's revenue growth softened in the final three months of 2013, after some of its clients pushed back new launches or media spend into 2014.
In an interview with business TV station CNBC, broadcast earlier today, Lévy said: "The last quarter is always a quarter of uncertainty and this year I must say I feel some softness.
"There are some reasons for that. Most of the reason is some of our clients are looking for delivering better bottom line and they are pushing to January or February some of their investments or launches."
However, Lévy was still positive about the prospects for this year. He said he expects 2014 "will be better than 2013", helped by the anticipated growth in GDP, the Fifa World Cup in Brazil and the Winter Olympics in Sochi.
Lévy said: "If you convert the media expenditure into agency revenue it is above three per cent and we expect that Publicis will be probably ahead of the market. We have some very good wins, we have a good business pipeline and we expect 2014 to be better than 2013."
In the first nine months, Publicis Groupe's results were slightly ahead of its objectives, Lévy said.
He said that at the start of the year, [Publicis Groupe-owned] ZenithOptimedia's forecast was growth of 4.5 per cent for the industry. "The latest forecast is leading more to 3.5 per cent, which is 100 business points below what was expected," he said.
Publicis Groupe and rival communications group Omnicom announced plans to merge in July last year.
The video above was originally broadcast by CNBC on 3 January 2014.

March 28, 2006
The trial continues for the teens accused of plotting to attack Albemarle County schools, and we may see it wrap up soon. Tuesday is the third day of the trial and now it's the defense's turn to argue its case.
Currently there are three defendants--two 13-year-old Jack Jouett students and one 15-year-old from Albemarle High School. The 16-year-old involved in the case already pleaded guilty.
It is a closed hearing, but we do know that the prosecution brought in school kids to testify the last time they were in court. Jim Camblos, the Commonwealth Attorney said the prosecution went well.
If you recall, the three suspects were arrested back in late January after an anonymous informant came forward about the plot. A fourth suspect was arrested a week later.
The three teens are charged with two counts including conspiring to commit murder and conspiring to use an explosive device against a schoolhouse.
If found guilty the three teens could face incarceration until they are 21 years old. The sentencing for the 16-year-old suspect who plead guilty will be back in court for sentencing on April 8.

JoAnn Langendorfer There are plenty of easy choice, the right ones !! The people we have elected just will not take them because the right choices may hurt them !!!
I'm with ya a Debrajoe I to am an American Citizen a legal one. It is all about money the U.N. gets billions from the USA and it is so wrong. There isn't any easy solution. It will be an up hill battle without a doubt. We need to stop giving money to other countries to buy their friendships. If their friendships need to be bought and paid for then they are not our friends. All I have seen from even our Congress is that they like the perks of the office they may have been voted in, but it surely wasn't for an honest position. They all say that they will make things better have you seen any thing come to furistion yet? I surely haven't. The President is even over paid. With our country in such a rock and hard place. You would think that the leaders would say I don't need all that money lets pay down the debt? That is one thing about Mr. Romeny he has worked for little or nothing. It would be awsome if he would do the job of president and cut his pay in half. We need men that are leaders not users. The team that is running government now are doing absolutely nothing to help our country. I could go on, it is all about the money nothing else. Until that is taken away this stuff will continue...
Jeff thank you. I am an American and proud of it. I am not a citizens of the UN or the NWO.
"This information should be of concern to every single citizen of the world"
Them's fightin' words!
Other than that. I look forward to the press conference.
This is all well and good...but it just seems that anything that has been bought up regarding Ocrummer, it is knocked down just as quick. I really believe that Romney will win in a landslide and that way Dictator-in-chief will be long gone.....one can only hope. On the other hand...if Ocruumer commits voter fraud, like he did to win in 2008, then we are all sunk....just sayin'
should have done this 4 yrs ago, now they will just run Hillary and we could lose the election.
Illegal usurper is what we have all known, would be soooo gratifying to have obummer and all his lies exposed!
The most frightening point on this issue is whether Barack Obama [Sr.] is his father. If he isn't, and it is Marshal Frank Davis, we're in for a heap of trouble because the crap he has pulled will have to be considered legal.
But if he is in the office legally, he can be tried for treason. All we have to do is convince Congress their man is a criminal.
There have been many who have called for the impeachment of the Obamanation. I have warned them not to do so because that would legitimize his occupation of the office of President and leave in place all of his appointees, legislation, executive orders and any treaties he signs. It is my firm belief that Barack Hussein Obama AKA Barry Soetoro AKA several other aliases is a fraudulently elected marxist and muslim brotherhood foreign enemy spy infiltrater who is illegitimately ocuppying the highest office in our nation, the office of President of the United States of America. He was put into this position to commit acts of espionage and sabotage in an attempt to destroy our nation from within. The domestic enemies in the demoncratic party and some in the republicratic party are guilty of committing acts of treason in willfully and knowingly aiding and abetting Barack Hussein Obama in fraudulently and illegitimately aquiring the office of Presedent and in his attempted destruction of our nation from within.
Sincerely & Unapologetically,

By Paul Strauss: Cornelius "K9" Bundrage certainly wasn't a show dog, but he got the job done in a close fight. Normally Ouma is non-stop action, throwing many more punches than his opponents, but tonight the difference was only slight, and Bundrage landed the harder punches, which earned him a close unanimous decision over "The Dream."
The former soldier from Uganda seemed to come alive in the fourth round after Bundrage sustained a cut over his left eye. Ouma's punch volume increased, and he started moving to his right, away from Bundrage's right hand. He even had Bundrage backing up, but it didn't last.
The fight action soon returned to what it had been. In the early rounds, Ouma was tentative, and was leaning in without first throwing a jab. He paid a price too, repeatedly getting caught with hard rights.
Bundrage isn't pretty to watch. There's not much style or technique. In fact, he appears muscle bound. His biceps are so big on his 5'6" body, it gives you the impression he cannot bend his arms sufficiently at the elbow to bring his gloves up for protection. His quick feet usually get him out of danger, though.
When that doesn't work, Bundrage will use a high left elbow, a push, or a wrestler's hold. Ouma, normally a good inside fighter, wanted to take a half-step back, but couldn't because of Bundrage's tight grip. Referee Steve Smoger warned Bundrage several times, finally taking a point in the 8th round for excessive holding.
Bundrage could double for a Gene Fullmer look-a-like if he started using the crossed-arm defense once in a while. His best combo seems to be a push, then a one two.
Ugly or not, Bundrage came away with the decision, and Ouma blew a big chance to get back in the title picture. He has two wins over Verno Phillips, who just beat Cory Spinks, so a win tonight might have launched him right back into the mix.
The under-card was very exciting with something unusual........two fights where three judges had identical scores! The first contest showcased two undefeated lightweights in a four round fight. Henry "Hank" Lundy came in at 10-0, and Darnell Jiles, Jr at 8-0. Jiles enjoyed a substantial height and reach advantage at 5'11," and sported an eye catching "mohawk" type haircut. He exhibited very good head movement, and seemed to be the more explosive of the two southpaws.
However, Lundy took advantage of Jiles' willingness to mix it up, landing his most effective punches during those exchanges. It appeared if Jiles would have stayed outside and used his long jab, he probably could have come away with the decision. He didn't, and as a result, all three judges scored the fight 38-38 draw.
The next eight round contest was a disappointment for 38 year old birthday boy Germaine Sanders. His opponent Mike Jones wanted a KO to add to the twelve he already had, but it was not to be. Sanders made a good impression in more ways than just the fight. He added sartorial spender to his repertoire, coming into the ring in a pair of stylish grayish color shorts with black accents, pockets and I believe a "fly"!
But, his receding hairline, and the beginnings of a bald spot told more about him than his get-up. The fact that he is a natural left hander, fighting orthodox, gave him enough of a surprise to inflict a few damaging punches, but it was not enough. All three judges scored the fight 78-74 for Jones. All in all, a good fight night.

November 27, 2014
Posted Thursday, February 13, 2014 --- 10:09 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- Gov. Scott Walker says he has no problems creating a voluntary state holiday honoring labor leader and civil rights activist Cesar Chavez.
However, the Democratic-sponsored bill to do that appears to be going nowhere in the Republican-controlled state Legislature. The bill's sponsor, Rep. Jocasta Zamarripa, tells the Wisconsin State Journal in a story published Thursday that Walker told her during a meeting last month that he supported her bill.
The proposal would require state agencies to designate March 31 as Cesar Chavez Day and give state employees the option of taking a paid day off in lieu of another paid holiday. California, Colorado and Texas have passed a similar law.
Chavez founded the United Farm Workers in 1962 and used nonviolent forms of protest to advocate for worker rights.
