has already sold 1
million Galaxy S smartphones in the United States, with just the
variants on T-Mobile
(branded the "Vibrant") and AT&T
(branded the "Captivate"). Now as a launch of
Verizon's variant, the "Fascinate", appears to be just
weeks away, Sprint has become the third major U.S. carrier to
officially open sales of the device.Sprint's Galaxy S
variant, dubbed the Sprint
Epic 4G, is a bit different than the rest of the Galaxy S pack.
It's the Galaxy S Pro which means it has a half-width, slide-out
physical keyboard, which will delight some disappointed by the lack
of a keyboard in other variants. The phone also adds in some
features that were scrapped in the "Vibrant" and
"Captivate", namely a front-facing camera for video-calling
and a rear-facing LED flash.On top of those advantages over
its Galaxy S brethren, the new phone will be compatible with Sprint's
growing fourth generation (4G) wireless network, which employs
WiMAX. Many users are already enjoying this union of that
network and another Android smartphone, the HTC
EVO 4G. However, the Epic 4G sports a faster processor than
the EVO 4G, so it should offer an even more compelling
experience.The only disappointments initially appeared to be
a slightly fatter width due to the extra features and a slightly
higher price of $249.99 USD. Apparently some e-tailers are
remedying the latter issue, offering the phone for $199.99 USD.
Both Amazon.com and Wirefly are
offering the phone at this rate with free shipping.The phone
is already on sale in Sprint stores and will start shipping
immediately. For customers who want to see more specs, you can
visit Sprint's page for
the phone, but again beware, you probably don't want to buy it there
as Sprint is charging $249.99 USD with a new 2-year-contract.
quote: If you Reeeeeally don't like the $10 charge, the same phone minus the keyboard can be had elsewhere.
quote: He's not whining.
quote: And the fact is pretty straightforward for anyone who cares to analyze the fee without instantly blurting "It's still cheaper than so and so". That isn't the point.
quote: The point is this: the $10 "premium data" fee is nothing more than Sprint trying to make more money. You'll pay the fee regardless whether your area has 4G or not (more likely not because it's only in a few cities).
quote: How would Droid users or iPhone users feel if they're told they have to pay $10/month extra for their phones because "it's so awesome you're gonna use more data" even though their plans come with unlimited data?
quote: Uhh...yeah it is. He's complaining in essence that they're charging too much for their service. That calls into question what others are charging for their service. Turns out even with the $10 charge, its still lower than sprints nearest competitor without 4G. Did I mention unlimited data plus free tethering for five other devices? With the way he's complaining about a measely $10 I bet Viz-ey's tethering fees with the data cap would give this guy a heart attack!iPhone users would jump for joy. $10/mo for tethering five devices of their choice on an unlimited data plan would totally kick the crap out of what they get now. ($20/mo just for tethering + $30/mo data plan + 1 GB cap at the max). Droid users have verizon. So, their already feeling the pain. And sprints commited to unlimited, where verizon has stated openly not to expect it when their 4G rollout begins...
quote: WOW, you really are clueless, aren't you?
quote: And btw, Sprint isn't the cheapest
quote: If you're one of those people that will accept any fees and simply roll over, who are we to convince you otherwise?
quote: Yep. Said it before, I'll say it again. Quit whining.
quote: My complaint is the shady way Sprint is going about this. If they told consumers the fee was for their costs to roll out a 4G network (as you claim that's what it's for - and to be fair, it certainly seems like it is) then I would accept that. If they said it was a rental fee for the phone and that you didn't really own it, I would have a different set of complaints, but ok. If they said "Simply Everything" really isn't everything and it's "Simply Everything for our older phones", I'd be ok with it. Or if they said it was to subsidize the high cost of the phone and it would stop when your contract was up, ok. Or if they actually gave you some "premium data" like exclusive apps or prioritized network traffic, I'd be ok with it. Or if they gave you free WiFi tethering, and didn't charge you $30 more a month for that. Or if they only charged it to the highest volume data users (since they claim they think you'll be using more), then ok. But to tout the phone's features (which consumers will be paying a $200 premium for, mind you) as some kind of "premium data " that can't be found on any other phone with any other carrier, is absurd. The company is trying to hide behind the premium data label without being honest about why they're charging that fee.

Authorities removed horses from a Scipio Township property during an investigation conducted by Humane Society of Seneca County.
A Seneca County Sheriff's Office spokesman said the sheriff's office received the initial call about an injured horse that had gotten out of its pen and was next to the roadway on CR 24, near SR 19. The call was transferred to Humane Society, he said.
The spokesman said sheriff's office employees were called back to the property at 8900 E. CR 24 for verbal disputes that occurred while the horses were being removed. They were told while at the property Thursday that 16 of the 18 horses were being removed from the property, and a mare and colt were being left behind because officials were not going to separate them, he said.
The spokesman said he did not know the nature of Humane Society's investigation. Criminal charges had not been filed by the sheriff's office Friday evening, he said.
A spokeswoman from Humane Society of Seneca County, 2811 S. SR 100, declined to comment Friday evening.
The property at 8900 E. CR 24 is owned by Carol Young of Republic, according to the Seneca County Auditor's Office website. Young could not be reached for comment Friday evening.

"We think he's our lucky charm," says festival Communications Director Ashley Zink.
The last thing the festival wants is an encore of the weather last year, a deluge of rain that put a big damper on weekend events.
Heavy downpours this past Saturday were a troublemaker but not a major setback, Zink says. Walls to the tents being erected at Marion Square, the site of the festival's Culinary Village, couldn't go up until the ground started drying out a bit Sunday. It put the festival slightly behind schedule but Zink is confident the time can be made up before the village opens Friday.
"Everything is going as fast as it can. We should be good by then."
Zink says the festival staff is feeling "really good" about the forecast, mostly sunny skies with highs in the 50s through Sunday. "We'll pick chillier temperatures over rain any day. We think cooler weather is better than hotter weather because you just bundle up and you'll be fine."
Tickets sales are going well, Zink reports. As usual, a number of events are sold out. But among tickets remaining are those for the Culinary Village on all three days and the Festival After Hours party Saturday night. This year's party, which will be 8:30-11:30 p.m. at the Visitor Center Bus Shed, has a "Party Around the World" theme.
People can purchase tickets through the website, charlestonwineandfood.com, until the day of an event, Zink says. A ticketing tent also will be open at Marion Square from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Sunday.
Cantore, by the way, has been to the festival before, Zink says. "He loves the festival and loves Charleston and tries to make it back as much as he can."

BERKELEY SPRINGS - It was truly a tale of two halves for Berkeley Springs when the Indians hosted Hedgesville Monday.
The first half was close and full of effort between both teams. Things changed in the third quarter for Berkeley Springs.
Fatigue set in for the Indians as they fell 60-48 to the Eagles. It was Berkeley Springs' first home loss this season.

"For a team that's played three games in four days, and playing against a very good team, I was pleased with our effort," Berkeley Springs head coach Dale McCumbee said. "Fatigue set in in the middle of the third, and we just started making some poor decisions."
Hedgesville held a one-point advantage at the half, due in large part to the Indians' Sarah Haynes' big first half. Haynes scored her team's first 12 points of the game and added three more in the second period.
"Sarah's done a tremendous job for us this season," McCumbee said. "She's an all-state player. Without her, we're an average team."
She shot 3-5 from 3-point range in the half while the rest of the team shot 3-15 from the floor and only scored nine points.
Hedgesville started the third quarter on an 8-4 run and then followed that with a 7-3 streak. Both led to Berkeley Springs timeouts.
A Kristen Nunn 3-pointer put the Eagles up by double digits for the first time in the game. The Indians cut the deficit in half by the end of the period but would draw no closer in the fourth.
Hedgesville started the final quarter on a 7-0 run. The Eagles continued to feed off the Indians' mistakes, who turned the ball over 12 times in the quarter.
Free throws also kept the Hedgesville lead extended in the second half. The Eagles, who did not shoot a single free throw in the first half, shot 19 in the second half, making nearly 70 percent of them.
Nunn scored 16 of her team-high 20 points in the second half. Carly Elliott also showed a strong performance, scoring 10 of her 18 points in the half.
"We were pretty miserable from the field early on," Hedgesville head coach Ben Merica said. "In the second half, we shot the ball much better."
The first half was kept much closer.
The Eagles jumped out to a five-point lead. Haynes then put on a show to get her team back in the game. She alone went on a 9-2 run to give the Indians a two-point lead.
Lauren Schetrompf swished a near-half-court 3-pointer as time expired in the first half, giving the Indians a two-point lead.
The Eagles started the second quarter like all the others, on a scoring streak, this time a 6-0 run.
A long delay took place in the middle of the period as the referees got together and discussed a call. After a nearly five-minute stoppage of play, the officials changed the original call for an Eagle walk to a technical foul, called on Hedgesville's Alexis Taylor.
Haynes' lone basket of the period broke a tie and put her team up by three.
The Hedgesville win also marks the eighth in a row for the Eagles, a streak that began one month ago when they defeated then-No. 2 ranked University at home, 75-61.
Even with the loss, the Indians keep their No. 1 seed in the AA playoffs and host Petersburg next week.

Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Cangene closed on a potentially $300-plus million purchase of worldwide rights to IB1001, a recombinant factor IX (rFIX) for treatment and prevention of bleeding in patients with hemophilia B, and two preclinical drug candidates from the bankrupt Inspiration Biopharmaceuticals and its lead investor, French-owned Ipsen, the sellers said today.
As part of the deal, Cangene acquired commercialization rights from Inspiration and Ipsen to IB1001, now under review by U.S. and European regulators, as well as Inspiration's rights to drug candidates IB1007 (recombinant FVIIa) and IB1008 (recombinant FVIII). Cangene agreed to pay Inspiration and Ipsen $5.9 million up-front, plus up to $50 million sales milestones totaling $50 million and annual net sales payments tiered up to a double-digit percentage of global net sales.
The deal is the second by Inspiration and Ipsen in as many months. On Jan. 24, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Boston approved Baxter International's planned acquisition from the sellers of worldwide rights to OBI-1, a recombinant porcine factor VIII (rpFVIII) for congenital hemophilia A with inhibitors against human FVIII and acquired hemophilia A.
Baxter agreed to pay $50 million up-front, up to $135 million tied to undisclosed development and commercial milestones, as well as tiered net sales payments ranging from 12.5% to 17.5% of OBI-1 annual net sales. The Baxter deal is under review by the U.S. Federal Trade Commission under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act. The total value of the Baxter deal for OBI-1 may exceed $700 million, Inspiration and Ipsen disclosed today in their statement on the Cangene deal.
OBI-1 and IB1001 were both lead candidates of Inspiration, which filed for Chapter 11 protection from creditors in October, nearly four months after the FDA placed two late-stage clinical trials for IB1001 under clinical hold. The clinical hold impacts a Phase III study of IB1001 in previously treated pediatric subjects with hemophilia B, designed to measure the drug candidate's pharmacokinetics, safety, and efficacy over 50 exposure days; and a Phase II/Phase III IB1001 study whose primary endpoint is degree of hemorrhage control by treatment regimen.
According to Inspiration, FDA "recently" sent Inspiration a Complete Response Letter detailing why the company's Biologics License Application for IB1001 cannot be approved in its current form. The company said the letter is consistent with previous discussions with FDA on the presence of host cell proteins (HCP) in IB1001 that were responsible for formation of anti-HCP antibodies in 26% of clinical trial subjects. In the statement, Inspiration said it implemented manufacturing process changes designed to "significantly" reduce HCP levels.
"Preliminary comparability data available to date on drug substance manufactured using the original and the modified processes suggest that the process changes have been successful with no observed deleterious effect on the factor IX protein itself," Inspiration and Ipsen said in their statement.
With no additional clinical data requested by FDA, next steps for developing IB1001 will be determined by Cangene. In a separate statement, Cangene said the development program for the drug candidate included "a comprehensive set of pharmacokinetic, safety, and efficacy data from Phase [III] clinical trials in people affected by hemophilia B, including a surgery sub-study."
In Europe, IB1001 is under regulatory review by the European Medicines Agency (EMA), which is studying a Marketing Authorization Application submitted by Cangene in August 2011.
"We will use our significant experience in developing and commercializing biological products to respond to the additional regulatory requirements as we seek to address a significant global need for hemophilia B patients," John A. Sedor, Cangene's president and CEO, said in the company statement.
Cangene specializes in developing, manufacturing, and commercializing plasma-derived products for multiple therapeutic areas that include infectious disease, and related areas of hematology and transplantation.
The clinical hold froze action on a Phase III trial evaluating IB1001's safety and efficacy in treating and preventing bleeding episodes in adults with hemophilia B, as well as a Phase III/IIIb study evaluating IB1001's safety and efficacy to treat and prevent bleeding episodes in previously treated children with hemophilia B.
The hold came after Inspiration reported to the FDA that, during the course of routine laboratory evaluations, it found that a higher-than-expected proportion of individuals treated with IB1001 had developed antibodies to proteins from the Chinese hamster ovary, or CHO, host cells used to manufacture the therapy. At the time, a total of 86 people with hemophilia B had received IB1001 in clinical studies, with no adverse events related to the development of antibodies to CHO protein reported to that time.

I haven't read all the responses - but if they send the figures in poly bags I hope those asking for that to happen are prepared for the loose joints, warped weapons and scratched paint due to there being no support to hold things in place.

Thank you, Mattel, for asking our opinion, and listening.
I do not care if the figures are $27.00. It has been very apparent throughout 2012 that the design, packaging, and over-all quality has changed for the best. Keep giving us high-quality figures with awesome accessories.
This has all become a moot point now as ToyGuru has said in the AskMatty forum that Mattel is no longer looking at cost reducing the figures via accessory cuts or paint deco reductions.
ToyGuru: It has been pretty clear fans are not looking for us to cost reduce the figures by removing deco and accessories. So we aren't currently looking into this as a long term solution.
Me and my yearly 2 subs is OUT if they do poly bags. I REFUSE to believe these figures cost so much to make. Shipping is outrageous. QC is horrible and the CS is EXTREMELY frustrating.
The only packaging difference I would agree to is lose the inner plactic and bands. Nothing was wrong with the original line being packaged lik it was. GO with that.

My biggest problem right now is the shipping. It is ridiculous. UPS (though even more expensive/although it takes a week) is much better than the Newgistics option which usually takes like 10-12 days to get to me here in CT, & is still over $10 in shipping alone, seems bonkos.

TG posted on the matty forums that based on the initial responses this didn't seem likely.
I'm sure this thread will rage on for the next month though (or longer).
In Midwinter, the heat from the oven baking my Shrinky Dinks is all I need!
Well this post from Toyguru pretty much ends this thread....
Totally hear you.
Alas shipping costs are not something we can control. I am actively looking into any and all options but at the end of the day, there isn't much way to cost reduce shipping.
Part of participating in (and "collecting") a very low quota high end collector line is accpeting that it is only available online and there are costs to this such as paying for shipping. We are WAY under the quota to ever put any of our Matty.com lines at retail. So really it comes down to "accepting" the fact that to continue to get new MOTUC figures every month, paying online prices which include shipping is just part of the over all collecting experience.
I've always said we will try to make these figures as long as their are fans buying and that one day it will cost more to make (and ship) these figures then fans are willing to pay. I hope we are not there yet, but if we are, it's been a fun run!
We can affect things like character choice (which if we get a 2014 line we will do our best to only focus on the vintage line and main animated figs) but affecting shipping or the cost of prodcution are not factors we have much control over. It costs what it costs and hopefully we have enough customers willing to pay for more figures. If not, we'll wrap things up for Classiocs in 2013 and look forwards the future for something different and maybe less expensive to make and ship.
It just makes me sad...
Wow!!! This is not good news especially with all of the bickering that has been going back and forth between us orgers on characters selection.
I really hope we don't have too many more quality issues this year and that the subs get enough of our support to make 2014 a reality.
Strange to think that MOTUC is so way "under quota" but other comparable lines like Playmates TMNT Classics can be in brick and mortar and every online retailer just fine.
Not saying I want MOTUC to move away from the Matty model per se (no way we'd be able to get as adventurous as some of the character selection has been) but it's an interesting deflection away from any real answer about shipping costs.
OTHER PRIORITIES: Inspector Darkney Master Sebrian & Gleep Spyster Admiral Scurvey & Squall Starburst She-Ra Scratchin' Sound Catra Grot Caz & Drissi Crystal Moonbeam Crystal Sun Dancer Meliac NA Prince Adam Chef Allen Songster Scrollos Karg Kowla Red Eye
No. But how bout trying to keep the QC issues to a minimum along with the various other problems and I don't think anyone would have a problem (other than our overseas brethren unless you can help them with shipping) about the current price.
'Tis the wind and nothing more.....
How come Hasbro is about to start making 6" super detailed, super articulated, well packaged "STAR WARS: The Black Collection" figures and selling them for $19.99 each? Let me guess, it's because they are going to be sold at retail so they can lower the cost?
Look at how awesome this Luke figure is:
Note how he comes with 3 accessories too.
STAR WARS is my number 1 passion so with these coming out in August and the increasing costs of MOTUC this may very well be my last year as a subber.

I won't be "collecting" this line, but I will be possibly buying 3 or 4 of them, depending what Jengo, Vader, Han & Anakin look like. I have zero interest in 4" figures, I had a few "Revenge of the Sith" figures, 2 Anakin figures and Vader, but sold them off. These may hold my interest.
Now, I just hope Hasbro releases the new Bot MP cars....I want Red Alert, Smokescreen, Bluestreak & Prowl, but not for $80 a piece. However I will buy a Mirage in a heartbeat. And Soundwave for $100+ wow, he looks awesome, but not for that much he doesn't.

If MOTU had been one of the most consistently successful toy lines with a presence on retail shelves for decades then I'd say "Hey, why can't Mattel do this." But it hasn't been.
This is apples and oranges. For one thing, we have to see if Star Wars Black is even successful (I hope it will be, as it'll be the first Star Wars line I really collect other than a few Phantom Menace figures back in 99 before I saw the movie) and even if it is this does not relate AT ALL to MOTUC because the brands are in very different places as far as getting retail to embrace them.
I'd love to get MOTUC at retail for $20, though. But MOTU as a brand just isn't there. It'll be interesting to see how many retailers even support this, to be honest.
Upcoming MOTU-inspired Graphic Novel: www.eonquest.com
I have been watching the Mattel WWE figures for a while now. It seems my WalMart gets a case or maybe two of the Elite figures for each series and they generally sell through pretty good. There is typically no more than about 6-7 figures per waive. Some are short packed, like the current Miss Elizabeth, and even the more obscure characters sell. So I think this could be done for MOTUC too. As long as they didn't flood the market, they should be able to do the same. I look at the tons of DCU that they did, and I admit that I am not a huge comic fan, but I have no idea who most of those characters were, but they still seemed to sell. They put out like 20 series didn't they? Well MOTUC has to be almost, if not more, recognizable than a lot of those characters. With proper case assortments they could continue the Classics at retail. Just short pack the POP and NA stuff, like they are short packing the Elizabeth figure, and don't over do the variations and it seems it could be really successful. It didn't seem they put a A-lister like Batman or Superman in every wave of DCU and it did just fine. Just an opinion.

An East Aurora man arrested last week on a warrant from the State of Alabama on a charge of electronic solicitation of a child had met the Birmingham-area girl through an online gaming service, authorities in Alabama said.
"This case should serve as a warning to parents that the digital domain can be a fertile hunting ground for child predators," read a statement from the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. "This suspect used an online gaming service to contact the teen and begin a dialogue."
Police were alerted to the situation after the girl's parents found sexually explicit photos and text messages from the man on the girl's cellphone.
They learned that the man had introduced himself through an online gaming service and that he regularly interacted with her as they played games. He eventually obtained her cellphone number and email address, and began sending lewd and pornographic images.
The parents told investigators that the girl had been afraid to tell them what was going on because she was afraid they would think she had done something wrong.
Sheriff's investigators tracked down the man to East Aurora. He was identified as Spencer T. George, 46. A warrant was issued from Alabama, and authorities there contacted the East Aurora Police Department. George was taken into custody Wednesday morning and is expected to be extradited.
Alabama authorities offered some tips to parents to prevent such situations, including:
• Communicate with your child about what is acceptable online behavior. Encourage the child to let you know if someone sends explicit messages or photos.
• Adjust online gaming settings to prevent your child from adding friends or talking with strangers.
• Check the "friends lists" of all accounts. If you see people you do not know, ask your child who they are and how they know them.
• Know the user names and passwords to your child's online accounts.
• Monitor your child's cellphone use. Periodically check the child's phone for threats to safety. Your duty to protect a child outweighs privacy concerns the child may have.

Guild Website - Click hereGuild Thread - Click here
Hi and welcome! The aim of this thread is to gather both old and new players together on Tera Online NA. Especially with the game recently going free-to-play, we have many on here trying the game out and I'm sure we can further the enjoyment by playing with each other. I'll also try to give a brief summary of the game for those who are still on the fence about getting it, but it is free to try after all and compared to other free MMOs currently available, TERA is definitely one of the better options to pick.
For those EU players who are unsure of playing on NA, there are certainly advantages of playing on NA over EU and you can find the reasons usually all over the statuses on the Dojo. One thing I can vouch for is that the ping is very good, I experience virtually no lag and many other EU players have confirmed the same. NA offers a better support system, a fairer cash shop and a much larger player base making the NA servers a more livelier world to play in.
The Game.
Unlike your standard point and click MMORPG, TERA uses a first person targeting system where a cursor is located on the middle screen. In order for your skills to hit, you would have to make sure your cursor is on the enemy. This makes for a more exciting style to combat. You are also able to dodge and some classes can also block. This means combat is a strategy rather then a mindless spam of buttons.
The game is gorgeous. The UI is neat enough and the scenery is quite lush. The character customization is pretty varied, both cute and husky for all personalities. 8 classes and 7 races in all. Meaning there is plenty of choice and something for everyone to enjoy.
Priest is the all-purpose healing class.
Mystic is the hybrid healing class but have been known to heal just as good as a Priest.
Lancer is the stalwart tank using a shield and lance.
Warrior is the dual wielding class that can double up as a tank too.
Sorcerer is the glass cannon magic throwing wizard.
Archer is the highly mobile, ranged bow and arrow class.
Berserker is the heavy hitting 2 handed axes that excel in AOE melee.
Slayer is the agile 2 handed sword user that work on evasive movements and combos.
The Guild.
The guild is an international guild that will welcome all levels. The aim is creating an enjoyable atmosphere for those both new and old to play TERA in each other's company.
Guild Name: Pixel Party!
Server: Mount Tyrannas.
Button (Seluu - Priest)
So what is the short term and long term aim? Short term, is to build a core, foundation of players from the Dojo that can enjoy TERA Online together. After that, we'll be expanding our member list to players in the game. We don't want a guild with 500 players with no shape or glue but a healthy community of gamers. This leads onto my next point, another thing we're looking into is recruiting in-game and on the official forums. Due to the mixture of timezones, the guild will promote under an International banner. Because of this, I will be needing capable Officers that can do the following;
- Activity. An obvious one but still very important as it ties in with the other responsibilities.
- Recruitment. Being able to recruit in all shapes or form. I don't mean mindless guild invite spamming to anyone not in a guild but able to talk with potential players and introduce them to the guild.
- Unbias. Of course, you're the authority of the guild but that does not mean you abuse this. You reflect how you feel about the guild through your actions.
- Team player. Prepared to go out of your way to help a guild member. Whether it's a simple question or that BAM they've been having problems with for the past hour.
These are the 4 main traits I'm looking for in commanding Officers and for now, would like 2-3 more, mainly from the NA region. If this is something you're interested in doing and have what it takes, I'm willing to give a chance for those to prove it. This is all a joint effort so let's push together to make it a fun experience for everyone. :)

I've been watching the news these past couple of days concerning the terrible weather hitting the Midwest, including Wisconsin. It seems that much of the really bad stuff is happening just south of Tomahawk.
But I was wondering how everybody is doing. I'm sure you're getting lots of rain and wind.
Have there been any injuries or damage in the area? Are the water levels rising to any dangerous level?
I have a friend who lives just north of town on Lake Alice but haven't been able to reach him to get any of the local weather news...he may just be out of town and out of reach.
But I was just concerned how everyone is holding out...and hoping that you're all ok.
I haven't seen any mention of the weather on the Message Board so thought I would add this post.
Keep low, dry and safe !!!

SAN DIEGO -- CTIA MobileCON 2012 -- Research In Motion maintains that it builds the best, most robust, and secure option for the enterprise, but it also knows it's far from the only one anymore.
RIM CIO Robin Bienfait addressed CTIA attendees Wednesday morning, urging them to adapt and plan ahead for the surge in mobility in the workforce. It was an ironic message given RIM's laborious and oft-delayed process of launching BlackBerry 10. But, Bienfait assured the audience that the new operating system would be rebuilt from the ground up with the enterprise in mind. (See RIM Posts $235M Net Loss as Sales Slip, RIM Delays BlackBerry 10 Phones 'Til 2013, and Can RIM Get Its Enterprise Groove Back?)
At the same time, she admitted that Android and iOS are becoming pervasive forces in the enterprise as more companies allow employees to bring their own devices. She said that RIM plans to support both iOS and Android devices with its security and BlackBerry Mobile Fusion mobile device management (MDM) platform. (See RIM Hosts a Bring-Your-Own Bash and RIM Plays Nice in the Enterprise.)

Settling Mars
Martian settlers on a weekend excursion. Painting by Pat Rawlings, courtesy NASA.
At the National Space Society International Space Development Conference in Anaheim, California, on April 20, 1990, Robert Zubrin brought down the house with the first public presentation of the "Mars Direct" scenario developed by Zubrin and his colleague David Baker of the Martin Marietta company. The audience had not heard such an innovative proposal in many years. The Mars Direct scenario held new potential of lowering costs and of bringing the human exploration and settlement of the Red Planet into the realm of feasibility.
The Mars Direct scenario lowered cost in two key ways: (1) by extensively relying whenever possible on in situ (on site) resource utilization (ISRU), such as the automated manufacture of return fuel from the Martian atmosphere before the first humans even leave for Mars; and (2) by launching directly from Earth, making it unnecessary to first develop an infrastructure in Earth orbit or on the Moon (the hardware developed for Mars Direct could also be used on the Moon, however).
Zubrin describes his ideas quite effectively in the following three articles he wrote for the NSS magazine, Ad Astra:

on December 18, 2012 - 12:01 AM
At this time of year, it's easy to mistake Bob Zeagler for a walking, talking Christmas tree.
From the tips of his shiny boots – one bright green, the other crimson – to the top of his towering, ornamented hat, Zeagler, wearing an old-fashioned Santa suit decked with bells, balls, bows, garland and stuffed animals that move and sing, is a shiny, sparkling, jingling, melodic homage to Christmas.
The Christmas costume is just one of the over-the-top seasonal themes that the Batavia resident, known as "The Holiday Man," uses to decorate himself and his shiny black Jeep SUV.
"I am active year-round with the Jeep and my costumes," says the affable, bearded Zeagler, who is 66 but adds, "Mentally, I'm about 4."
"I just really like to see people's faces light up and make them feel good," he says. "If they can forget about their problems just for a few minutes while they talk about my Jeep or my costume, it makes me feel like I've helped somebody."
If you haven't seen Zeagler himself in the full holiday regalia he wears while pumping gas, shopping for groceries or doing errands, you may have noticed his Jeep.
At this time of year, the Jeep's roof is topped with a plywood board covered with plastic figures, including Santas, gingerbread men, nutcrackers, snowmen, candy canes and stacks of gifts. Some light up. Every door handle is decorated, and a Santa flanked by nutcrackers looks back at traffic from a small luggage carrier attached to the back bumper. Holiday figures line the dashboard, and carols play from speakers.
Zeagler has eight other decorated plywood panels for his Jeep and many other costumes and hats to wear for the holidays he observes year-round.
Soon after Jan. 1, he'll switch to Valentine's Day decor, featuring hearts, Cupids and roses. Then it's on to St. Patrick's Day, when he dresses like a leprechaun and dyes his beard green. For Easter, he wears a suit festooned with hundreds of plastic eggs and spring flowers; for Buffalo's Dyngus Day parade, he wears the egg suit and dyes his beard half red and half white, the colors of the Polish flag. For the summer, he embodies a patriotic theme from Memorial Day through Independence Day and into Labor Day. He dresses as Uncle Sam and marches in several parades, while his wife, Bridget, drives the Jeep behind him.
Then he's ready for Halloween, which is probably his favorite holiday. The speakers on his Jeep play spooky sounds and eerie music, while he dresses as a criminal clown – half prison stripes, half clown costume festooned with spiders, snakes and zombie babies – and tows a trailer with a sign reading "Haunted House, Do Not Enter."
"I really go crazy for Halloween," he says, making several appearances each year at the Great Pumpkin Farm in Clarence. After a turkey and Pilgrim-themed Thanksgiving interlude, it's on to Christmas, and the cycle starts again.
Zeagler's transformation into "The Holiday Man" started about 15 years ago on a trip to Cape Hatteras, N.C., around Halloween. He and Bridget stacked their luggage on the roof of their vehicle, and he added a plastic pumpkin. "All I heard on the whole trip was, 'Hey, that's great! Look at that pumpkin!' " he says. "I started by doing a Christmas theme, then next year got into Easter, then Fourth of July, then especially Halloween," he says. "Then it just went cuckoo from there."
Zeagler, who still has a slight drawl, was born in Oak Ridge, Tenn., grew up in Virginia Beach, then moved to Elba in 1966 to live with his aunt and uncle. There he met Bridget Jasinski; the two married in 1968.
Zeagler didn't have any costumes when they married, says his wife, "but he was always a lot of fun. We have no children, so we kind of just do things however we feel."
His costumes, all meticulously handmade by Zeagler, fill their home, she says. "He has at least six Christmas hats," she says. "We have at least 30 hats in our house, on top of lampshades and everywhere there is space to put a hat. We had to build a shed because we're getting up in years and it's kind of hard to pull everything out of the cellar."
His costumes "take hours and hours" to make, says Zeagler. "He's constantly updating things," says his wife. "He's very particular about looking good. He adds things, he removes things that are broken, faded or stop working. He will replace things if he finds something better."
While he could probably snap up post-holiday bargains to add to his trove, that's not the way he works, says Bridget Zeagler. "He doesn't wait for sales. If he sees something he wants, he gets it right then." The couple estimates that through the years Zeagler has spent thousands of dollars.
"But, really, the pleasure I get from it is priceless," says Zeagler. "The smiles I get from people are unbelievable. I've had several people come up to me in the last several years and say, 'I was having the worst day of my life today until I met you. You have made my day.' It makes me feel good that I can have that kind of an impact on somebody."
In the summer, when he wears his patriotic garb and his Jeep is covered with American flags, Bridget Zeagler says, "Military people stop us all the time. Families that have soldiers serving overseas take pictures to send. I swear, there must be pictures of him in every country in the world." The two recall a poignant moment in a Wegmans parking lot in Amherst, when an elderly World War II veteran thanked Zeagler for his display and Zeagler thanked the man for his service. Both men ended up wiping a tear away, Zeagler says.
Zeagler doesn't wear costumes to work at Ken Barrett Chevrolet, where he works delivering parts. But other than that, when he is out, he is decked out.
On a morning visit last week to the Manor House senior residences in Batavia, the Zeaglers chatted with Zeagler's mother, 90-year-old Mary Fillette, who can't resist telling a few jokes herself. Dorothy Coughlin, who taught English at Elba Central School for 34 years and had Mrs. Zeagler in her classes, says, "He's very original in his get-ups." His costume, she points out as Zeagler presses a button to make a stuffed polar bear sing, "is both visual and auditory."
In fact, almost every person – residents, visitors, staff and even delivery people – speaks to Zeagler about his sparkling, moving, jingling costume. All of them leave with a smile.
Zeagler says his biggest fans are children and the elderly, though plenty of teens and adults approach him, too. "If I was not dressed as I was, I would never meet these nice people," he says. "They will either come up to me or when I walk by them, they say, 'That's really neat.' I never would have met the thousands of people who are so kind and see how great humanity really is."
Zeagler says people often ask him whether he has ever been ticketed by police for his Jeep's decor. He tells them that a few years ago in Henrietta, a police officer followed him for several miles. "I thought, 'Uh-oh,' " says Zeagler. "I was afraid he was going to pull me over and tell me to turn off the lights or the music."
Finally, Zeagler pulled over, and the officer pulled up behind him. They both got out, and "I asked him if there was a problem, and he said, 'Not on my part.' He said, 'Can I take some pictures of you?' He took pictures of the front, the side, the top of the Jeep, probably 30 pictures. I said, 'I was afraid you'd make me turn the lights off on the display.' He said, 'Don't you dare!' "
Zeagler also says people often ask whether the decorations ever fly off the top of the Jeep. The answer is a definite no. "It's all fixed to the plywood, which is wired to the roof rack I had installed on the Jeep," he says. "I drive all the way to Cape Hatteras with all this stuff on. I don't want to see it coming off in the rearview mirror."
At this time of year, Bridget Zeagler has an advantage over all the people who lose track of their spouses in crowded stores. When they are out together, she says, "I listen for him jingling. That's how I know where he is."

James Haskell faces Ireland
Wasps flanker James Haskell will make his first RBS 6 Nations start in nearly two years when England tackle Ireland in Dublin on Sunday.
- Related Content
Haskell has been selected at blindside flanker in a reshuffled back row, with Tom Wood switching to number eight in place of the injured Ben Morgan.
England's starting line-up will otherwise be unchanged from their 38-18 Calcutta Cup victory over Scotland, with Manu Tuilagi returning from an ankle injury on the bench.
Haskell's last Six Nations start was also in Dublin, when England won the title but saw their 2011 Grand Slam ambitions destroyed with a 24-8 defeat to Ireland.
The 27-year-old opted out of last year's championship in order to play club rugby in Japan and then in New Zealand but he has worked his way back into Stuart Lancaster's plans.
Morgan was one of England's most influential players against Scotland but he limped off after 45 minutes with a sprained ankle and Haskell picked up the baton, winning four turnovers in the space of 35 minutes.
Tuilagi's return to full training had left Lancaster with a midfield conundrum after Billy Twelvetrees' eye-catching debut against Scotland.
But the England management decided Tuilagi's lack of match fitness meant he would be best utilised as an impact substitute.
"A lot of the players performed very well and with Manu coming back into the equation it gave us some selection decisions," Lancaster said.
"But with the centres playing well last week and Manu still returning to match fitness, having not played for the last four weeks, he and others will give us great options from the bench in what I am sure will be a physical encounter."
Tuilagi takes over on the bench from wing David Strettle while Thomas Waldrom fills the back row slot left vacant by Haskell's promotion to the starting line-up.
Sale prop Henry Thomas will travel to Dublin to provide cover at tighthead prop following this evening's Aviva Premiership match against Exeter Chiefs.
Lancaster explained that he felt it would have been too much to expect Tuilagi to start against the Irish after only recently returning from injury and stressed that he was delighted with the form of Twelvetrees and Barritt against Scotland.
"It's a good position to be in as a coach," he told Sky Sports 1.
"The decision was made for me on Tuesday. Manu was injured on January 13 and his first onfield rugby session was Tuesday.
"To play a full 80 minutes against Ireland after that would be difficult for any player.
"I looked at the best way to give the team the best chance to win on Sunday and went with Manu off the bench. I'm sure he will be a handful.
"It (the decision) also says a lot about the performances by Billy and Brad last week as well.
"Billy was quietly pleased with his debut although he doesn't shout it from the rooftops. He gives us another dimension to our attacking game and he deserves to keep his place.
"Brad has been outstandingly consistent and had another good game for us at the weekend."
England team: A Goode (Saracens); C Ashton (Saracens), B Barritt (Saracens), B Twelvetrees (Gloucester Rugby), M Brown (Harlequins); O Farrell (Saracens), B Youngs (Leicester Tigers); J Marler (Harlequins), T Youngs (Leicester Tigers), D Cole (Leicester Tigers), J Launchbury (London Wasps), G Parling (Leicester Tigers), J Haskell (London Wasps), C Robshaw (Harlequins, capt), T Wood (Northampton Saints).
Replacements: D Hartley (Northampton Saints), D Wilson (Bath Rugby), M Vunipola (Saracens), C Lawes (Northampton Saints), T Waldrom (Leicester Tigers), D Care (Harlequins), T Flood (Leicester Tigers), M Tuilagi (Leicester Tigers).

thats the point i want to know what people think kagetsuk (shadow moon)
personally i watch all of them. and i watch bleach the most. because they come out with new episodes quicker. and i havent seen naruto since like last year...... so?!!?<~~not knowing you, and likin you from a distance its sad~~>
goku is a bit of a role-model for me < Live every day as if it was your last > Zombaukto legends^^
my role model is my grandma lol<~~not knowing you, and likin you from a distance its nice~~>
Bleach! i hate to say it cause i love dbzjust because i was a hardcore fan of the early stuff like cell and booi say bleach because its still running and the action is so sweet plus the characters have good depth
or bleach then naruto i have to do some research bye.
I watch all of them I personily like bleach better. The fights don't last 8 episode like naruto dose.
The Keeper of Precepts/For Friends and For Tomorrow I think Dragon Ball Z ,because each characters in the anime fight more than one powerful on each ep. And beside that who in Bleach and Naruto can stand up against the Spirit boom, a fight against Kid buu and Broly, and can destory whole plant with one attack?
why was the strength of a person reflected in their clothes in DBZ.
Bleach is the best. DBZ is ok, but doesn't have the story line Bleach does (and don't get me started on that stupid-ass hollywood movie either!!) Naruto is no where near Bleach.Bleach rules! Naluboutes, Naluboutes, Aeria Gloris, Aeria Gloris.
WEll who would even want to get startd on imagry
Well i would
Vegeta would just come and use his special big bang attack to blow up naruto's villige into dust and naruto is human so he would die easily (Since Ichigo is a hollow and no human can see him) Goku can since his energy and would see him by enerygy and if Ichigo's hollow >< Something would transform ichigo stronger goku would just kick his butt by fusing together with vegeta and go Super Sayain 4 Gogeta and use x100 Big Bang Kamehame ha and blow up ichigo into dusk just like naruto when vegeta turned him into dusk. Even if Ichigo dodges it Gogeta would still sence his energy Which is'not alot of energy (By the way Goku would kill Ichigo in One hit Cause Goku's Fusions with vegeta to make super sayain 4 Gogeta, Cause Ichigo is HUMAN, And Goku and vegeta or Gogeta is NOT.
So I think thats it
Love watching all of them. Though you can't beat pokemon althouh DB was made in 1986 still gotta love pokemon:^)

Reno, Nev. - The boys came out of the locker room to a standing ovation from the remaining South Tahoe fans long after the game had ended.
They hadn't won the trip to state, but it was a winning season and an even better 10 years together.
Most of the 11 seniors on the South Tahoe basketball team played together from elementary school on. They were hoping to end that run with a trip to state, but a strong Elko team overpowered the Vikings in semifinals with an 80-42 win at Wooster High School on Friday.
"Not how we wanted to go out, but to me it's a little bit easier to lose to a really good team, and Elko's obviously a really good team," South Tahoe coach Chris Proctor said. "In all honesty, Lowry and Elko should be playing tomorrow...10-0 and 8-2 they're the two best teams out there."
Elko proved it Friday night from the moment the Indians stepped on the court.
The Indians set a blistering pace, climbing out to an 11-2 lead in the first 3 minutes.
South Tahoe called a timeout, and Cale Backinger came back fired up. He put up six points for the Vikings in the remaining first-quarter minutes to keep the game checked at 18-10.
But the Indians were just getting warmed up. They outscored the Vikings 20-10 in the second quarter to extend their lead to 38-20 at halftime.
And with Elko's defense shutting down the Vikings' usual top scorers, a comeback was looking less likely.
"This is a competitive sport, and we all scout each other. We wanted to try to go into the post, but they were very physical in the post so really on all fronts they kind of matched us where we wanted to go and that's why the score was what it was," Proctor said. "Obviously they're just a really good team, and they brought the best package to the floor tonight."
Despite trailing by 18, the Vikings fought through the second half.
Justin Espiritu drained a 3-pointer, and Jason Rogers stepped up with Brandon Cramer under heavy coverage.
Rogers led the Vikings with nine points. Backinger added eight, and Cramer seven.
The Vikings pride themselves on defense, but Elko could not be shutdown. And as the final minutes of South Tahoe's season ticked down, the seniors linked arms on the sidelines.
"They've been together since fourth grade and it's just a great group," Proctor said. "I'm proud of them, and I'm going to hold them accountable for continuing their success."
The Vikings graduate 11 seniors - Cramer, Backinger, Rogers, Espiritu, John Cefalu, Hayden Bronken, Kyante Wilson, Kris DiGrande, Tyler Sharp, Roger Williams and Cody Higgins.
The Vikings end their season 14-12.
Elko's win secured it a state trip, and the Indians went on to win the Northern Division I-A finals 58-54 against Lowry.

The families of victims who were struck and killed on the Tonawanda Creek portion of the Amherst bike path in November have notified the Town of Amherst of their intention to seek damages for their injury and wrongful death.
Motorcyclist David A. Smith was driving drunk, police said, when he veered off Tonawanda Creek Road on Nov. 11 and plowed into a group of pedestrians on the Amherst bike path where no physical barrier separates the bike path from street traffic.
Jocelyn B. Elberson, 25, of the Town of Tonawanda, and Sheila Pelton, 81, of East Amherst, were killed. Pelton's husband, Foster, 79, suffered serious injuries, including multiple fractures and a collapsed lung.
The Peltons recently filed a notice of claim against the town. Elberson's family filed a similar notice against the town last month. Both documents state that the town "failed" to properly design and protect residents along that stretch of the bike path.
The Amherst Town Board will hold its regular meeting at 7 p.m. Monday in the council chambers of the Amherst Municipal Building, 5583 Main St., Williamsville. The meeting will be preceded by a work session at 3 p.m. As always, the evening meeting will be live blogged at www.buffalonews.com
Also this week:
• The Williamsville School Board will meet at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday in the District Office board room, 105 Casey Road, East Amherst, for its regular meeting. That meeting will be followed by a Repair Reserve hearing at 7:15 p.m. and a budget forum at 7:30 p.m.
• The Amherst School Board will meet at 7 p.m. Tuesday in the district office conference room, 55 Kings Highway. Topics for discussion include the school budget and Daemen parking lot.
• The Amherst Senior Singers will host a free Irish sing-a-long at 2 p.m. today in the Williamsville Meeting House, 5658 Main Street, as an advance tribute to St. Patrick's Day. The Irishman Pub, 5601 Main St., will hold a free dessert reception after the event.
• A free screening of the movie "Big Night" will be held at 3:30 p.m. next Sunday in the Williamsville Meeting House. Music will begin at 3 p.m. A special dinner menu will be prepared following the movie at Sorrentino's Restaurant 5640 Main Street. Call the restaurant for information and reservations.
• Brompton Heights will hold its annual Hospice Spring Bouquet Sale from 10:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursday and Friday in its main lobby, 275 Brompton Road. Bouquets are $8 each and will benefit Hospice Buffalo.

Ranked among the nation's most integrated healthcare systems, Community Health Network is Central Indiana's leader in providing convenient access to exceptional healthcare services, where and when patients need them—in hospitals, health pavilions, workplaces, schools and homes.
SUNDAY, March 17 (HealthDay News) -- It's the time of year when cold season and allergy season overlap, and parents need to know the active ingredients in the medicines they give their children for these conditions, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warns.
Taking more than one medicine at a time could cause serious health problems if the drugs have the same active ingredient, which is the component that makes the medicine effective against a particular condition.
For over-the-counter products, active ingredients are listed first on a medicine's Drug Facts label. For prescription medicines, active ingredients are listed in a patient package insert or consumer information sheet provided by the pharmacist, the FDA said.
Many medicines have just one active ingredient. But combination medicines -- such as those for allergy, cough or fever and congestion -- may have more than one.
Antihistamine is an active ingredient found in cold and allergy medicines. Too much antihistamine can cause sedation or agitation. In rare cases, it can cause breathing problems.
"We're just starting allergy season," Dr. Hari Cheryl Sachs, an FDA pediatrician, said in an agency news release. "Many parents may be giving their children at least one product with an antihistamine in it."
Over-the-counter antihistamines include diphenhydramine (Benadryl), chlorpheniramine (Chlor-Trimeton), clemastine (Tavist), fexofenadine (Allegra), loratadine (Claritin, Alavert), and cetirizine (Zyrtec). Parents need to be cautious if they're also giving their child medicines to treat a cough or cold.
"It's important not to inadvertently give your child a double dose," Sachs said.
Other active ingredients that can be found in both allergy and cold medicines include: acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil or Motrin), and decongestants such as pseudoephedrine and phenylephrine. All can cause serious health problems if children take too much of them.
Parents need to keep track of every medicine and the active ingredients each contains, Sachs said. She recommended making it a habit to write down the name of any over-the-counter or prescription medicine given to a child.
"It's really a good idea to carry that list with you when you go to see your pediatrician or even when you go to the pharmacy," Sachs said.
Parents should also make note of any vitamins or supplements a child is taking, as these can also have potentially harmful interactions with certain medicines.

Gulf Oil Spill: Mental Health Care Resource Guide for Families and Individuals Living with Mental Illness
As our nation struggles with a response to the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, we should remember that rather than a natural disaster, we are dealing with a human disaster. Unlike Hurricane Katrina, which visited its deadly winds and waters upon the region, the oil spill is a human-made calamity, the worst intersection between industry and error our country has yet seen. Residents of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida, many still recovering from the effects of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, are feeling the spill's wounds deeply on a personal and collective level.
For the many needs that will be stressing families and individuals living with mental illness affected by the spill, NAMI has compiled a list of mental health, housing and other resources.
According to new estimates, the Gulf oil spill has surpassed the Exxon-Valdez spill of 1989 as the most significant in U.S. history. The event is of particular importance to those already living with mental illness, who must now confront additional stressors that also burden the rest of their communities. For instance, some fishermen who have rebuilt their businesses since Katrina and Rita are experiencing suicidal feelings as the spill threatens their livelihood once again. Unlike a hurricane, which is a single incident with long-reaching implications, the oil spill is an ongoing problem with unknown effects. In the wake of a catastrophe of this magnitude, individuals are more likely to suffer from anxiety, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and depression.
The response to the Gulf oil spill is occurring on many levels—from mental health professionals to grassroots efforts by like local NAMI groups to individuals from affected communities. Mental health professionals are actively participating in the response to the Gulf oil spill. One theme has become clear: it is important to battle against isolation in the face of this disaster. Gulf Coast inhabitants are being encouraged to maintain their usual community ties such as church, social groups and community associations. Any opportunity to bring people together is vitally important—isolated individuals are at a far greater risk of being overwhelmed by depression, posttraumatic stress disorder and anxiety than those who have a good support system.
NAMI affiliates are a vital community resource for those dealing with the mental health aftermath of the oil spill—both people who already consider themselves to be part of the NAMI community and individuals and families who have just begun to confront mental illness. NAMI's state offices and local affiliates provide support as well as information about community resources.
Please feel free to contact NAMI HelpLine at 1 (800) 950-6264 Monday through Friday from 10 a.m.– 6 pm ET for further information or visit our website at www.nami.org.
See the list of national and state resources NAMI has identified for those affected by the Gulf Coast oil spill.
