He scored 22 goals and 54 points as a teenager (that was only 3 years ago not 5) and has never played a full season since. He has scored at least a half a point a game every season, guys that score more than half a point a game consistently usually get more than double what he got especially young ones with size. He is at an age that the Red Wings finally give their young guys a shot at the big league and already has 143 points despite missing a lot of games with concussion injuries.
If healthy he has the potential to be a big scorer and as young as he is he is definitely worth taking a chance on especially for under $2 mill
He scored 22 goals and 54 points in the 2007-2008 season. That was five years ago. In the season following that, he played 71 games. In the season after that, he played in 69. While these numbers do not qualify a literal full season, they are close to the league average.
Say what you will, but he'd just be yet another bottom-six forward in the glut of forwards the Wings have. Had the Avalanche or anyone else thought that this guy wasn't just another bottom-sixer, he'd have signed with a team that wasn't Florida.

Instructor Profile
Instructor Bio
For the past 2 years, I have been blessed with the
opportunity to tour and teach the Lindy Hop across the
USA and Europe. I have a true passion for teaching
dance and I hope to be able to share it with all of you
some day.
My Classes focus on 5 fundamental concepts, all of
which I feel are equally important:
Body Awareness/Quality of movement
and Inspiration "Andrew was really a catalyst for the Central Pennsylvania Swing Dance Club (CPSDC). He breathed life into our long-time dancers, inspired our newcomers, and made our scene fun by adding a playful and gaming nature. His passion for teaching and his excellent sense of humor left our dancers talking about his workshops nearly a year later - and constantly inquiring about when he'd be returning. His classes were well-structured and unique in nature - the content was outstanding! Most importantly, Andrew's down-to-earth nature makes him a stand-out instructor. While in our area, he danced with first-timers and old jitterbugs as well as our skilled lindy hoppers - his non-discriminating eye made everyone feel included in the learning and excitement. Andrew is by far the greatest thing that has happened to CPSDC and we can't wait to have him back." Amanda Hansen, PR Director, CPSDC, Carlisle, PA
Laura Glaess Austin, TX, United States

Instructor Profile
Instructor BioLaura learned her dancing basics from a group of Lindy enthusiasts while at Trinity University in San Antonio. Since then she has been heavily involved in efforts to promote this style of dance to the community. For the past three years she has been teaching Lindy dance lessons. "The most important aspect of dancing to me," Laura says "is the ability to reach out for your partner and let them know everything that is going on inside of you and making sure that you pick up on everything that is going on inside of him. It's like the best conversation you've ever had."

, updated March 27, 2013 at 2:14 AM
Food truck fans will continue to find their favorite delicacies served up on four wheels at hot spots around the city, from hot dogs topped with blueberry barbecue sauce in the Larkin District to lentil sandwiches at the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus.
To the relief of food truck owners, the Common Council on Tuesday voted to reduce some truck fees and rejected calls from a well-known restaurant owner to increase regulations on the mobile vendors. "We're just looking for an opportunity to compete, and I think we got that today," said Paul Tripi, co-owner of Frank's Gourmet Hot Dogs. The high-profile debate over the future of the trucks has put a spotlight on Buffalo's changing food culture, the ability of food truck owners to do business in the city and the interests of established brick-and-mortar restaurants.
As the Council considered how it should "Food trucks bring life, a sense of place, they excite people," city resident Bernice Radle told lawmakers.
Several restaurant owners spoke in favor of the trucks, saying they add activity to commercial corridors and are a welcome addition to the city's food scene.
University Heights restaurateur Tucker Curtin, who owns the Steer and Lake Effect Diner on Main Street, was a notable exception.
Tuesday, he http://blogs.buffalonews.com/politics_now/2013/03/today-in-city-hall-restaurants-to-propose-tough-regulations-for-food-trucks.html ">proposed more severe restrictions on the trucks, including prohibitions on their operation within 100 feet of any private building housing a commercial enterprise or residential dwelling without permission and a requirement that the trucks be equipped with GPS devices so the city can track their whereabouts.
After an hourlong debate that drew about 45 people to Council Chambers, lawmakers voted on a proposal from North Council Member Joseph Golombek that did not include any of Curtin's suggestions.
Food truck owners who already have paid $1,000 for a permit will be charged $500 to renew it, and a restriction that trucks cannot operate within 100 feet of an open kitchen will be maintained.
A requirement that the trucks pass a fire inspection, which will cost approximately $65, will be added to the ordinance, and the truck owners will continue to pay to participate in special events, such as festivals and concerts.
The new ordinance does not have an expiration date but calls for the Council to review every initial truck permit.
"We have a little bit more certainty now of the future, and we can worry about our own businesses and the challenges we face on a daily basis as opposed to more political, bureaucratic regulations," Tripi said. "So, I think today was a good day for food trucks and for Buffalo."
The Council will consider a measure to lower the $1,000 permit fee for new trucks to $800 at an upcoming meeting, Golombek said.
That's because trucks that paid $1,000 in January 2012 had a permit that lasted 15 months, as the ordinance expires April 1, while the new ordinance calls for permits to last 12 months.
In the last 18 months, there have been few, if any, complaints about the trucks, Golombek said."These guys have policed themselves," he said.
Golombek said the legislation weighs the interests of various parties. "I do think the ordinance is a better ordinance because everyone did sit down at one point or another at the table," he said. "I think ours is a very, very good ordinance."
After the meeting, Curtin said he wasn't disappointed with the Council action, and he noted that some of the issues he raised will continue to be discussed by lawmakers.
Food truck owners were particularly concerned about what changes the Council would make to the city ordinance, because many suburban communities, including Amherst, are considering their own fees and operating rules. If every community requires high permit fees, the trucks will have trouble operating around Western New York, truck owners said.
"We have a statute on the books that we can live with," Mitchell M. Stenger, a lawyer who represented truck owners, said of the Council's action.
"We're not happy with all the terms in the statute, but I guess that's why they say that good legislation is when everyone is equally unhappy."

Martins Ferry board talks funds, safety
MARTINS FERRY The Martins Ferry City School District held its regular school board meeting Monday to discuss issues of funding and safety.
Superintendent Dirk Fitch reported on a recent meeting of county superintendents and Rep. Jack Cera, who discussed safety precautions in the event of an active shooter or other danger. The district is exploring fundraising efforts to maintain resource officers for the county. Fitch noted that the district currently has a resource officer and thanks the city for the help it has been able to offer.
Fitch also updated the board on cooperative efforts among Martins Ferry's schools, law enforcement, city officials and first responders. They are meeting monthly and will align response plans from different schools so emergency personnel will be sure of procedure in the event of emergency.
"I think it's a fantastic idea," Fitch said.
Fitch noted that the proposed state budget may provide the school districts with the same funding received in the prior two years. However, there is no guarantee this will continue. He added that the budget may be modified as it passes through legislation.
In other matters, Fitch noted three administrations have completed the Ohio Teacher Evaluation training system. Three more will complete training in March. Six or seven teachers should begin taking the course in May.
Also, work has begun on the track bleachers and concrete pouring should begin this week. Fencing for the softball fields will be ordered soon.
Fitch is also looking into other districts' policies in school cancellation.
A county-wide in-service teacher day will be held Aug. 19 at Bridgeport.
Board approved the resignations of Joe Kosar, golf coach, and Robert Samsa, Middle School physical education teacher, and the employment of principals Jeff Oberdick and Mike Delatore, each with two-year administrative contracts.
The board approved the employment of Charity Stewart, substitute nurse, and Javis Johnson and Brianne Lucas as volunteer assistant track coaches. Board also approved the employment of Kylee Carpenter and Brittany Hood as substitute teachers for the remainder or the school year.
Board approved several professional meetings.
Lana Jennette will attend the All About Me; Kindergarten Kids and the Learning Experience today at Cambridge. Amanda White will attend the spring Integrating Curriculum and Technology Conference March 8 at New Philadelphia.
Curt Secrist, Babe Sidon, Nickolas Stankovich, Rhonda Delatore, Rhonda Dalton, Lisa Shriver, Danielle Lagon and Sue Ferrelli will attend a Title I fiscal conference March 20-22 at Columbus. Karen Blake and Mary Beth Brost will attend OME-RESA Fiscal Office Excel Training March 27-28 at Steubenville.
Board approved board committees for 2013 and the 2013-14 school calendar.
Board approved mileage compensation for employees at 56.5 effective Jan. 1.
Board approved the curriculum guides for Language Arts grades 5-8 and 9-12 and Math grades 9-12.
Board approved filing application for federal programs including Title I, Title IIA, Title IDEA, the school lunch program, and non-public auxiliary services.
Board approved the donation of a $2,000 stipend to the Martins Ferry Chamber of Commerce Academic Banquet.
Board also approved a mandate that a minimum of one track and field coach must complete mandatory pole vault education certification for the team to participate in the sport as per the Ohio State Athletic Association. Fitch noted that this had always been district policy.
Board approved four days unpaid leave for Barb Ballint and three days unpaid leave for Barb McKeegan.
Board approved the LGS services contract.
Board approved annual membership dues to the Ohio School Boards Association at a cost of $3,965. Board also approved the Tax Advance Resolution for 2013 advance and the Workers' Compensation group retrospective rate of .008972.

ANDOVER – Three Wellsville residents, a man and two women, were stopped Sunday and charged with the theft of two Christmas trees from a Jones Road business, state police said.
Angiline M. Palmiter, 28, and Victoria R. Greene, 36, were chased by the business owner and arrested by Andover police on State Route 417 about 2:23 a.m. Sunday. After an investigation, it was determined that Palmiter, Greene and Derek J. Hodgkins, 27, had stolen an additional Christmas tree from the same location earlier that morning.
Palmiter and Greene were each charged with two counts of petit larceny and one count of second-degree reckless endangerment. Hodgkins was charged with one count of petit larceny. All three were issued appearance tickets for an Andover Town Court session Wednesday.

MIDRAND, South Africa, 10 November 2012 – Welding instructors from three vocational schools in Liberia have successfully completed instructor training courses in South Africa thanks to the support provided to a UNIDO project by Lincoln Electric, a US multinational company.
The training provided to the Liberian welding instructors is a contribution to the UNIDO project which is upgrading vocational training infrastructure in Liberia in order to meet the needs of the country's expanding modern industrial sector. The project, which is funded by the Government of Japan, focuses on employment generation for Liberia's youth in the context of a rapid growth in agriculture, forestry, mining, manufacturing and services industries in this region of West Africa.
The project's core activities are concentrated at the Grand Bassa Community College in Buchanan, the third largest city in Liberia. The college's facilities are being modernized, and a comprehensive training programme is enhancing the skills of existing instructors so that they can deliver courses in welding and fabrication, heavy equipment mechanics and maintenance operations.
Lincoln Electric's support has enabled the project to equip training facilities to the highest standards. The complimentary training for the project's welding instructors, which took place at Lincoln Electric South Africa's facilities in Midrand, South Africa, has provided the project's trainers not only with the skills required to deliver the comprehensive training programme back in Liberia, but the enthusiasm and determination to deliver a successful project.
Lincoln Electric, which has its headquarters in Cleveland, Ohio, USA, is a leading global manufacturer of welding products, arc welding equipment, welding consumables, plasma and oxyfuel cutting equipment and robotic welding systems. The company has been developing ties with UNIDO since WorldSkills London 2011, an international skills, competition and careers event held in October 2011. Worldskills is a biennial event that promotes the importance of vocational skills in economic and individual success.
Lincoln Electric and UNIDO hope that their collaboration on the project will help the first individuals from Liberia to participate in the next WorldSkills event taking place in Leipzig, Germany, in July 2013.

I didn't know host picks go first but that doesn't change the heart of my point- USFSA knew/strongly suspected Rachael would not get an assignment. They therefore gave her one.
Ashley was also GUARANTEED two spots to begin with from finishing 4th at Worlds as she is now seeded, so they knew for sure Wagner was getting 2.
Of course, Mathman and mskater93 are absolutely correct. I sorta lost what we were arguing about (again).
Wagner and Gao were great! Even though Ashley is not my favorite skater, I was actually holding my breath for her during her skating, and I was very happy for her when she finished her last jump. She beared well for this huge pressure from her country and fans' expectation. And she answered by giving a clean, beautiful performance if it was not very fast. Good for Ashley! Well done! I don't really like her music selection combine with this choreography. It seemed that the music was too fast to skate for her.
Flatt looked REALLY slow and people who were in the arena and reported live verified that she was noticeably slower than the other skaters. This affects SS and the rest of her PCS will fall in line with that (even if that isn't right, that IS what happens - SS is the starting corridor for a skater's score). It looked like she just really couldn't generate any power from the ankle suffering from tendonitis.
Rachael does seem to overachieve relative to her current physical ability. Five triples is pretty good all things considered. But one could argue that is perhaps why the injuries won't let up.
Gosh, I was pretty impressed with Ashley. I only just now got to watch her freeskate .... having trouble finding time to keep up with skating this year. Her upperbody carriage has always been fairly good but seems to have improved (thank you Mr. Nicks) and I did like this choreo for her. I liked that her spin combo at the halfway mark timed the position changes with the music (her last combo spin though ...hmm, no so much). I also liked a lot of the entries into her jumps and thought she looked a bit less like she was muscling into them as ... or am I just imagining things? I dunno, her shoulders looked squarer or something on some of the jumps. Overall she still the same Ashley with her same strengths and weaknesses (she definitely seemed to slow toward the end but hopefully she will gain stamina and sharpness as the season progresses, not lose it) ... but this choreo did a good job overall of showing her off. I'm in the minority on this but I did NOT like Swan Lake for her. I don't know if she will try the harder jumb combos that people are talking about but I say good for her for staying in such great shape and maintaining her skill level at least. And certainly wish her good luck on the harder combos - that would be the bomb.
Oh, and also loved seeing the Charlotte spiral even if she did hold it only briefly.

I'm always looking for interesting fundraisers that people could duplicate, and one of the most original in our area is the Dancing With The ARK's Stars that takes place March 9 in Summerville.
Now in its third year, the event features some of Summerville's prominent names as celebrities and they are paired with professional dance instructors from Carolina Dancesport Dance Studio.
The pairs have been rehearsing, after all even the partners in "Dancing With the Stars" have months of rehearsals before the show starts. And audience members get to vote on their favorite pairs.
Four couples will dance in each round, with the two couples receiving the most votes competing in a "dance off" to win the mirror ball trophy.
Judy Watts, executive editor of the Summerville Journal Scene, was one of the stars the first year of this competition, and she faithfully learned all her moves and even filmed both her rehearsal for it and the finales.
They are all still on YouTube, which shows you that courage and fun live on forever on the Internet. She said at the time that it was real work to learn the dances, but she had the time of her life.
Ballroom dancing has certainly seen a resurgence since "Dancing With the Stars" premiered. And who doesn't love Cheryl Burke or bad boy Maksim Chmerkovskiy.
The show is giving the young and beautiful a reason to master the grand form of flirting that dancing that close becomes. Of course, our parents and grandparents knew that dancing takes style, too, whether is was the jitterbug, the shag or the waltz.
It was cool in the '50s to be the guy and girl left in the middle of the dance floor: the last couple standing.
And so it's cool again.
The celebrities from Summerville are: Mildred Blanton, retired real estate professional; Converse Chellis IV, Allstate insurance agent; Camilla Groome, principal at Newington Elementary School; Margie A. Pizarro, attorney, Pizarro Law Firm; Ellen Priest, publisher of Summerville Communications; William Summers, director and vice president of Vision Financial Group, Inc.; George (Jordy) Tupper III, owner of G Tupper 3 Construction; and Richard Waring IV, chief of the Summerville Fire Department.

With plates of charcuterie and cheese on reserved tables, guests such as Claire Danes, Chloe Sevigny, Gabourey Sidibe, former Real Housewives of N.Y.C. star Kelly Bensimon and the show's producer Judd Apatow fanned out around the circular room, mingling in the intimate space and taking in the panoramic views of the Manhattan skyline.
Danes shared a moment with the show's stars Jemima Kirke and Zosia Mamet while Lena Dunham, the new show's writer, director and lead actress, hung out at her private table, chatting with Apatow and greeting well-wishers such as John Cameron Mitchell with a friendly handshake. At one point, Dunham headed to Le Bain, just across the hall from the main party space, where she chatted with Boardwalk Empire's Steve Buscemi, who was enjoying a plate of food from the nearby buffet.

Sidibe, in a spangly gold top, chatted with a female friend (her guest) and also mingled with Allison Williams, daughter of NBC news anchor Brian Williams, and also a star of the show. (Williams, in a suit and blue striped tie, was there to support his daughter – as was Katie Couric.) And Kevin Bacon stuck near his wife (and distant cousin) Kyra Sedgwick at the bash – which lasted well past midnight.

This research demonstrates the use of 3-D projection, combined with a Kinect depth camera to capture and display 3-D objects. Any physical object brought into the demo can be instantaneously digitized and viewed in 3-D. For example, we show a simple modeling application in which complex 3-D models can be constructed with just a few wooden blocks by digitizing and adding one block at the time. This setup also can be used in telepresence scenarios, in which what is real on your collaborator's table is virtual—3-D projected—on yours, and vice versa. This shows how simulating real-world physics behaviors can be used to manipulate virtual 3-D objects. The research uses a 3-D projector with active shutter glasses.
Oops, something didn't work.
3D's going to be obsolete in 15-16 years. Think about 4D (and I'm serious!). The fourth dimension must come out within next 12 years.
that doll is not ELMO, just sayin
Did I say Elmo??? haha, shoot! It's ERNIE!!!
really cool but they should really look into capturing multiple frames of 3d data. you could rotate the model around so that the camera sees it from all angles and build a complete model
that would require some feature tracking ofcourse, but if anyone can do it, its msr

Do you have a whole list of all the '34 players with their living status? Not that I want to steal it, just that you seem to be well organized on the topic.
Not really.
What I did, nearly 10-15 years ago, was read an article about Francisco Varallo. As one does (well me, anyway) I wondered how many others are still alive from a World Cup or who has died from recent ones?
All I have is the line-ups of everybody, and in bold is who is still alive, and in normal font, who is dead or almost certainly deceased.
But with so many being relatively obscure, it's nowhere near as precise as the motor racing site I run.
Best resource for following up is the player history website - www.playerhistory.com which is a lot more reliable than the cut & paste shamefest that is weltfussbal, which is one of the links mentioned.
Some countries are quite easy to find, but others very difficult. I tend to have a good look at it every two years or so to see if there's any that slip the net.
But in summary, 1930 has only one left - Varallo
I think 1934 has those I mentioned above with a few more hmmmmmsss like Cisar
1938 has at least three definitely alive - another 10-12 possibles, if not more...

BlackBerry executive won't mention the Apple iPhone
0. phoneArena 01 Feb 2013, 10:31 posted on
BlackBerry U.K. executive Stephen Bates was interviewed by the BBC for its 5 Live Breakfast program and was asked what BlackBerry has learned from the Apple iPhone; instead of coming up with an answer or saying that he didn't want to answer the question, Bates fumbles and rambles though a response that basically promotes BlackBerry...

Got some facts to share...let's have them. Looks like you were in the middle of making a point and then got lost somewhere between why you originally got an iPhone, and then trying to justify that decision to yourself somehow.

Actually dude, as much as we hate Apple for their arrogance, they certainly deserve credit. I'm talking about how they demonstrated to the other companies how to launch a product successfully.
I mean, there is a reason why a company could be wildly successful in a water that it has never sailed before and that is to make the user experience great. Apple nailed the user experience right when they launched the original iPhone back in 2007.
In comparison, Nokia's Symbian phones lost the smartphone game because Nokia never bothered to make the user experience of Symbian-based handsets great. Yes, we all know that Nokia's Symbian-based phones are home to the key hardware innovations in the past decade. But then, Nokia never bothered to improve the software side of things. They are more on hardware and complement it with problematic software which spoils the user experience.
At least give credits where it's due.

WOW.....so basically the Blackberry is just a copy of iphone/android OS, design, interface, etc. How is Blackberry different from the iphone and Android? umm....ummm.....ummmmmmm
11. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
You dummies. The reason he didnt answer that question is because it would be clear evidence for a lawsuit. What better evidence than him saying he took something from the iPhone. Even if it WERE true. This question would also be giving the iPhone positive remarks during a mothercrackin Blackberry Interview...
For GODS sake. Not everyone compares themselves to Apple or the iPhone. Its a different product for the Sake. Damn!!!
You people amaze me sometimes....
12. Ninetysix (Posts: 2376; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
Well Google learned from Apple/iPhone. Look at their very first android phone and you'll see that it's a blackberry clone. They then changed the the design to look more like the iPhone.
15. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
You do know there were touchscreen rectangular phones before the iPhone right?
Did the iPhone copy them too? (sarcastically rolls eyes)
16. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
Also, why is this a Blackberry copy? Could be a Palm or early Samsung too. Even Kyocera had that similar design early in the game. Heck the design could have come from Samsung!
Just showing how closed minded you really are.
26. Ninetysix (Posts: 2376; Member since: 08 Oct 2012)
Once you click my google link. You can go ahead and express your rage to those close minded tech sites that reported that it's a blackberry clone.

Sure. Name one that was a huge success and changed the smartphone industry.
21. cripton805 (Posts: 1440; Member since: 18 Mar 2012)
So because it was a success it makes it a copy? Wow. Mind blown.
I never knew it worked that way...
28. gwuhua1984 (Posts: 1237; Member since: 06 Mar 2012)
You do know that prototype was only one of the prototypes that Google had in mind right? That prototype you mentioned was the only one Apple chosen to use to attack.
54. jroc74 (Posts: 6004; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
I take it he's never seen this clip:
Look at the whole clip, but pay attention to 3:05 and forward....thats an all touch sreen phone with a track ball.
He must also dont realize that Android had dev phones that looked like BB clones...in 2010:
At 6:48...it shows its running Android... Uh....Ninteysix....that BB clone you were so proud to show....would be a dev phone....it does say prototype. Android was thinking about both a BB like and all touch screen phone.

At the beginning of the interview, I was miffed that he couldn't answer the questions about the iPhone. However, towards the middle, I began to realize the brilliance of dancing around the question. Towards the end of the interview, it was clear that the interviewer wasn't interested in Blackberry 10 but was more interested in comparing it to the iPhone. Nothing like trying to bring a touch of "sour" to such a sweet event for the Canadian manufacturer. I hope the hire-ups continue this trend of ignoring the iPhone because it simply makes the interviewers look foolish. What's wrong with wanting to enter the market on your own terms? Oh...you can't be Blackberry 10 unless you list all the things you learned from IOS 5 and 6. Since, you know, everyone is just copying off each other...
17. dorianb (Posts: 595; Member since: 24 Oct 2012)
I like how he had tunnel vision to the question. "I'm here to push my product."
Maybe it would of been funny if he answered, "Everything we learned we learned from SAMSUNG!!!"

The unfortunate thing for Rim/Blackberry is that it's playing a game of too little too late in the minds of consumers. I am not saying that is the actual case but as far as the consumer market goes it appears that faith has been lost in Rim/Blackberry as a whole. If you go back to 2009 you can see another company that went through similar trials and did a complete overhaul of the Os called Web Os. Palm announced at CES in January 2009 their new hero device along with their savior operating system. It was reviewed rather well and took home awards that year. Things were looking great for a while with the exclusivity they had with Sprint and the innovation behind the Os, until things went south of course. Sprint also had another big announcement months later with the HTC Evo and that was just the beginning of the downfall for Palm. Os issues with update after update, outdated hardware with the release of newer better devices around every corner and of course the eventual sell out to a company that made an impossible promise, Hp. Rim in many ways appears to be going in the same direction here and it's been said that other companies have been looking at an eventual buyout. Speculation and rumor of course, but in a market where bigger is better and everyone is looking for the next best thing, well it's kind of hard to look the other way when history is seemingly repeating.
55. jroc74 (Posts: 6004; Member since: 30 Dec 2010)
Only big difference between the 2 is I feel WebOS was never put on good hardware. If it was.....WebOS might still be around. I think if BB can nail the hardware down...they have a real hit on their hands.
But I agree with your post.
38. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
Why would they even ask this question to a competitor? Would you ask Microsoft what they have learned from Android, what Chevy leanred from the Mustang, or what Mike Tyson learned from Evander Holyfield? Probably not because that would be an insult to all the hard work and progress those companies and people have put in to perfect their product. They should have to pay homage to any other OEM when the interview is about Blackberry and THEIR new products.

"So, so, the key focus around BlackBerry 10 that we've really driven to is to deliver a new unique user experience."
What our hapless BlackBerry executive has just ATTEMPTED to say is that BlackBerry 10 offers a "new" unique user experience... in other words, this was an attempt to say that BlackBerry 10 is intended to do what iOS did in 2007, and to kick the iPhone out of the way; however, he said it very poorly. Yes, I believe his intent was to say it without mentioning the iPhone at all, since the iPhone is, in his mind, the "old" unique user experience. BlackBerry has learned, from the iPhone, that 'unique' can be a game-changer for user experiences, and their hope is that the newest 'unique' will always be the winner at any given moment. Unfortunately, the executive failed to express this view, without mention of the iPhone, in a polished and professional sounding way.
Either a) people will think that BlackBerry is sticking their heads under the sand in the face of Apple's competition, or b) people will see that this executive should have practiced harder on how to answer this question more fluently and without figuratively staggering around like a couple of other RIM executives (drunken on an airplane) that they've heard embarrassing stories about.

I agree that this journalist needs to keep his questions relevant to the OEM he is interviewing.

Guess what just popped up in my inbox? A change.org petition to drop Ben Affleck as the next Batman. Really, folks? Everyone adored this double Oscar winner just a few months ago. Now it's, "Argo blank yourself, Ben?" Let's just calm down and be little Fonzies about this. After all, this isn't the first time we've collectively freaked out over Batman.
If you're old enough to remember before most of us had Internet access, recall that there was a hue and cry over the casting of Michael Keaton as the caped crusader, and he ended up delivering a thoughtful, interesting take on the character. Even the news that Heath Ledger was going to wear the Joker's garish grin on his pretty face was met with much wailing and rending of the garments, but what happened? He snatched that role and turned it into an Oscar-winning tour de force. And Val Kilmer and George Clooney – actually, let me stop there.
But really, what's so bad about Ben? I know, you're going to bring up Daredevil. Fine. It was not a good movie. He was not good in it. Admitted. But that was a long time ago and the guy's matured since then. He may not be the most expressive actor in the world, but guess what? Batman isn't exactly Mr. Let Me Get in Touch With My Emotions, either. Affleck can do brooding and tortured with a touch of wit as well as the next guy – particularly if the guy he's standing next to is Henry Cavill.
Which brings me to my next point: You should be far more worried about who's behind the scenes on Batman vs. Superman, than who's filling out the cape. There's no script yet, and the director is Zack Snyder, who gave us the latest incarnation of Superman in Man of Steel, a rewarmed origin story with a Superman who kills. (And I sorta liked the movie.) And what about the eventual Justice League project? It could be Avengers awesome or a superhero Love Boat, Affleck or no Affleck. There's no way of knowing.
All I'm saying is that it's way too early to get our Underoos in a bunch over Ben playing Batman, particularly when there are so many other factors that will go into whether the movie's any good. But you're right about one thing, Internet: I totally want to see Matt Damon as Robin.

Applying the lessons of open source to ballet | Opensource.com
Applying the lessons of open source to ballet
Do open source software and ballet have anything in common? Sure, they have some obvious differences. But they share an imperative to collaborate and a creative spirit. Anyhow, I'm a big fan of both, and I've been thinking about whether some of the lessons of open source could be applied to ballet. Last week got a chance to kick ideas on this around with a great choreographer, Robert Weiss.
Weiss, who goes by Ricky, is artistic director of the Carolina Ballet, which plays out of Raleigh, N.C. He spent the early part of his career as a dancer at the New York City Ballet with its famous director, George Balanchine. In more than a decade with the Carolina Ballet, he has been a prolific choreographer, producing dozens of ballets. He's also recruited superbly talented dancers from around the world and melded them into an outstanding company. When we met last week, along with my friend CB Board Chair Melanie Dubis, at Buku for lunch, I thought, this must be close to the world's greatest job — working every day with beautiful, talented, dedicated people to create art for the ages. What could be more wonderful?
When we met for lunch last week, it quickly became clear that it would be more wonderful to not be constantly worried about money. If only, he said, he had better funding, he could spend more time thinking about dance and less about fund raising. Ballet is an art form that entails numbers of dancers, all requiring paychecks, and the same for musicians, costume designers and costumers, set designers and sets, lighting designers and lights, stage management and crew, and of course, choreographers. As an art, it is capital intensive. There are inherent barriers to reaching a wide audience, including lack of exposure to the form and its traditions.
As Ricky described the process of creating a new work, it was plain that it was highly collaborative. When he choreographs a new work, it is created on specific dancers, and the work is shaped in view of their individual qualities. The work draws on a tradition that goes back to the Renaissance, with a large vocabulary of movements that are available for re-use. (As Ricky warmed to the subject, he stood up from the table and showed a couple of classical gestures, and his sudden transformation from regular person to dancer was electrifying.) And of course, there's collaboration with the aforementioned costume designers, set designers, and many others. It is in general an art of great idealism and unselfishness, at least in the sense that almost no one expects to get rich from it, and many are prepared to subsist on a shoestring budget.
But in ballet as in most of our endeavors, there is an unexamined assumption that intellectual property protection is important. Thus copying of videoed performances is subject to the draconian penalties of copyright law. The dances are kept locked down, on the assumption that making them freely available could result in lost value. I raised the question with Rocky and Melanie whether this really makes sense. Is copyright protection actually increasing the value proposition of ballet, or is it lessening it?
As I explained, the open source software community has learned some lessons about this that the rest of the world is starting to apply. Open source innovators, whose projects are based on freely sharing their code, realized that the traditional approach to intellectual property would not work for them, and so they created new licensing models, such as the GPL, that encouraged sharing and re-use. That approach has led to incredible growth in open source software. The model is spreading outward to other creative endeavors with such tools as Creative Commons licensing.
Could it be that less IP protectiveness could expand the audience for ballet and bring in new funding? What if, instead of protecting ballet as carefully as possible with copyright, the product was unlocked and made available under a Creative Commons license? For example, if well-produced video of the Carolina Ballet was readily available on the internet without charge, couldn't that introduce many more people to ballet, with some of them eventually becoming balletomanes?
Ricky noted that even the best video of ballet is only a pale reflection of the experience of live performance. But he also admitted that he knew of people who had had transformative personal experience through a recorded performance. He also noted that it would require funding to make video recordings of a quality that he'd be comfortable presenting in public. (Footnote: a couple of days after our meeting, I saw a documentary on the choreographer Jerome Robbins called Something to Dance About, which is great, and illustrates how video can communicate something meaningful about dance.)
Open source innovation generally involves experimentation. I noted that there could be approaches to video and to funding that none of us has thought of yet. We agreed to talk more about what might be possible. It may be that you have ideas or experience in applying open source methods to artistic endeavors. If you have ideas, please share them.

Are you advocating the open sharing of the choreography itself or the actual performance? When a performance is put out there for anyone to see, so is the choreography. Now, this is not really a problem for classical choreography, which has become a sort of "open source" of its own because nobody really owns it. The merging of dance and technology is often attempted and has yet to be very successful; documentaries are a different animal than simply a videoed performance. I think in transmitting a video of a performance we are actually moving farther away from what we want to show our communities, and that is the beauty of live dance. However, a more liberal approach to open source is perhaps a cure for some of what ails live dance performance. Meaning that a collaborative relationship between a dance company and its community would be mutually beneficial. Companies (especially in places like Ohio, where I am from) do not have the funding or backing of society's elite they used to, instead they need to start engaging the community and taking advantage of resources available in all avenues.
I think that video has in many ways become the calling card of the 21st century. Don't get me wrong, a video production like LOST is more than a mere calling card, just as Shakespeare's writings would never be confused with a 20th century calling card merely because both were written on paper. But videos of music, dance, sculpture, cities, businesses, etc., put their subjects into play. I think it makes perfect sense to use the most powerful media available to expand and sustain communities. There are reasons why one may choose to not employ video for this specific purpose, but the complexities of copyright should certainly not be such a reason!

"In the long history of humankind ... those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed."
—Charles Darwin
In any ecosystem there exists multiple interdependent relationships, niches, and environmental pressures. In all ecosystems there are food chains that convert energy from simple to increasingly complex states.
This metaphor is absolutely applicable to the data-driven environment of life sciences and healthcare R&D, where the efficient generation of complex information assets is key to success. Expressing the creation of complex knowledge assets from simple data through a "data-chain" enables a new thinking and one that is shared with other technology-dependent sectors. This approach enables collaborative thinking.
Today's world is a 24/7 highly connected data-driven society where more people have smartphones than fresh running water. Yet while we are empowering the patient and the individual to be at the center of their data ecosystem, we are asking the brightest minds in the world to work in document-driven, linear processes familiar to researchers of a precomputer age.
In all sectors of R&D, researchers are finding it harder to collaborate with colleagues in the next building than to program their home TV from the workplace. R&D has become an information science and understanding the ecosystem is the first step in managing it.
Making processes and data interoperable across the ecosystem relies on making information available in real-time, and in a structured and secured manner. This can then be readily consumed by those from multiple disciplines who have the need to use it and the need to build high-quality capital knowledge assets.
Traditionally the R&D process has been a linear progression through a multidisciplinary set of teams chained together to provide basic research, new product discovery, regulated trials, and manufacturing. This concept, popular for over 30 years, does not reflect the way that these teams really collaborate and, in fact, serves to entrench a siloed mentality that is often reinforced by separate historical management and informatics structures.
In reality the R&D process is a complex interdependent community of projects, supported by various teams each providing skills and guidance to move products from inception to delivery: an ecosystem of ideas, data, and information.
Everyone in the ecosystem is both a generator and consumer of data.
The scientific method starts with a hypothesis "an idea based upon facts already known"—and ends with the communication of a conclusion to one or more partners to take the next step. The ganging together of these cycles of experimentation serves to build projects, departments, and entire R&D organizations (Figure 1). This is a food chain of information, and ideas become more valuable and complex as they progress through the ecosystem.
Facts, like food, need to be in a consumable form to be utilized effectively; they need to be complete and comprehensible; they need to be delivered at the right time and actionable. So often in R&D this fails to happen, leading to inefficient "digestion" of the data, IP loss, inadequate decision making, and a poor corpus of organizational knowledge.
Individuals should be at the center of their data ecosystem, not dependent upon others to define what they receive.
A recent survey of 682 researchers by IDBS and Scientific Computing reviewed the ability of researchers to work within that data ecosystem. The research shows that today's researchers wish to, but fail to collaborate effectively. In many cases this is simply because they cannot efficiently move data from one person to another.

Yes, I have been self reliant and already have done research upon this subject. I have a Dell Wireless 1450 Wireless USB Adapter (Model1450U REV A01) that I'm trying to get working with Ubuntu 8.04 LTS Desktop Edition.
The guides I've read have already taught me some but I'm stuck on one part: It says that the driver is invalid when I try to install it. I've extracted as desired and have gotten the correct .inf file. I have even recalled the already extracted DELLNIC.inf file in experimentation from the other hard drive running my Windows XP Professional SP 3 (where it currently will work if booted through windows).
Does any one have any ideas on what's possibly going wrong? Are there steps missing or is it simply not compatible? According to threads I've read from 2006 and 2007, it did once work.

LISBON - The Elkton Auto Corral may be moving to town after the owners purchased the former Quinn Chevrolet dealership.
Jay and Susan Mullen submitted the high bid of $98,500 during Thursday's absolute auction of the dealership, which is located at the corner of East Lincoln Way and Jefferson Street. The final sale price is $108,350 because of a 10 percent buyer's premium fee.
The Mullens have owned and operated a used vehicle dealership on state Route 154 near Elkton since 2000. When asked if they planned to relocate the business to Lisbon, Mullen said they "we're thinking about it."
The Mullens said business is very good at the Elkton location but they have never been able to offer additional customer services due to the small size of the lot. Purchasing the dealership would remedy the problem.
"We've always wanted to be able to take care of our customers, service-wise," said Mrs. Mullen. They have also talked about possibly opening a Suzuki dealership at Quinn's, "but that's a big 'if' with Suzuki," Mrs. Mullen said.
The more likely option is relocating the Elkton Auto Corral to the Quinn Chevrolet property. The Mullens employ one person other than themselves, but would likely add four or five other positions with the move to Lisbon.
"We're going to try and get open as quickly as we can ... We'll see how it works. Otherwise, I'll lose my house," Mrs. Mullen joked.
The dealership - which includes a small showroom and upstairs offices, service area and 50-space car lot - has been closed since October 2009. Owner Rick Quinn purchased it in the early 2000s, and by 2005 Quinn Chevrolet was the one of the leading dealerships in Columbiana County.
The dealership began to decline in 2006 after a series of problems, and then came the recession, followed by the government's decision to close 1,100 GM dealerships in May 2009 as part of the auto industry bailout. One of those was apparently Quinn Chevrolet, although that was never confirmed, but the dealership began selling used vehicles exclusively about that time, before closing for good several months later.
The dealership was originally listed for sale in 2009 at $350,000, but there were apparently no takers at that price.
A crowd of about 100 people attended the sale, which was held by Kiko Auction, but most of them were either curious onlookers or those waiting to bid on garage equipment that was going to be auctioned following the real estate auction.

Now i have a war to decide which anime is better so im going to ask the manga community. We all know we like Ichigo's hollw transformation and the great Espada battle. But eureka 7 perfect story of love with each other is just a drag so tell me ur vote
cause it also has a love story in there you just have to find it to see it(~if you want to die stand in my way and here is why you shouldn't get in my way in the first place )
because it's more action and stuff and it's funny :D =D
because where else do you find deathgods and hollows duking it out till one of them dies(how does that work since they are already dead) oh wait they go to hell!plus anyway most other animes with mecha action has love in it too~All shall wither and die before my eyes~(-Otaku Graduate-)
V-- he right
But I like Bleach a lot better. It has more action and is super funny. The story line is better then Eureka 7.
"If you can fool your friends,you can fool your enemies".Education well never be as expensive as ignorance.
'' Whenever you see me as Bowser i feeding the anger of my soul, but when i having glasses on im nicer that way to my friends on Manga dot com''
love drives us all to be better people.
even though i love them both. i will say eureka seven because it was a love story and i am a true romantacist.
i liked them both but bleach has more action in it
bleach is better for action,eureka is better for romance.
Bleach is my favorite. i love watching this anime.
love both of them but bleaches stoeyline is action, eureka7 has a great romantic storyline and serius but not as actiony(Bite my shiny metal a**)
Sorry I haven't ever been able to get interested into Eureka 7.
"Without order nothing can exist. Without chaos nothing can evolve."
I would like to rate both series.
Eureka 7:- 9/10
Bleach:- 10/10
I love to watch these both series. These are always mind blowing!
bleach deffinately
For me bleach is better anime than eureka 7.
i like them both but i will choose bleach..bleach have more action..than euraka 7

ROARING SPRING -Don Bailey has been coaching football at Forest Hills High School for 39 years and has had more than his share of success.
Saturday night, Bailey's Rangers took on another area coaching veteran, Central's Dave Baker, who also has been on the sidelines more than 30 years.
Baker spent most of his years at Class A Williamsburg and last night was the first time the two long-time coaches were ever across the field from each other. It probably won't be the last because both of their teams have talented underclassmen.
With sophomore quarterback Joe Donoughe passing for 200 yards and a touchdown, Forest Hills upended Central, 21-7, in a District 6 Class AA quarterfinal match at the Roaring Spring Athletic Field.
"They were a little bit bigger than us up front," Bailey said, "and we thought we'd have a hard time running.
"We wanted to throw the ball, sprint out a lot and we did, and Joe [Donoughe] had a very good game," Bailey said. "Our receivers caught most of his passes."
That was an understatement.
Only a sophomore, the 6-foot Donoughe completed 19-of-27 tosses for 200 yards and his accuracy to Jared Shope and Doltyn Snedden enabled the Rangers to control the clock most of the night. FH had 57 offensive plays - 37 rushes and 20 passes - while Central's offense, which entered the game averaging an area-best 42.2 points a game, was limited to only 33 plays - 20 rushes and 13 passes.
Zac Emerick's interception at the Central 39 late in the first quarter led to the Scarlet Dragons' lone score - a 1-yard blast by Todd Slick in the first minute of the second period.
Junior QB Austin Cunningham and junior running back Bradi Moore hooked up for a 38-yard pass-run to the FH 13 and Moore then swept left end and was pushed out of bounds short of the goal. Slick scored on the next play.
Central fans didn't have much to cheer about the rest of the night, though. Donoughe connected with Snedden on four straight passes for 54 yards and Shawn Dell scored from the 3 to tie the game at 7-all.
Later in the half, Forest Hills went 61 yards in 14 plays, eating up more than five minutes, with Donoughe scoring on a 1-yard sneak for a 14-7 halftime lead.
The Rangers picked right up after intermission and needed only five plays to hike their lead to 21-7 early in the third quarter. Dell rambled 29 yards on the first play of the third quarter and that led to a 10-yard Donoughe-to-Shope pass for the TD.
"[Donoughe] got hurt the first play of the second half against Guilfoyle [a loss] and missed the next two games," Bailey said of his quarterback. "We won one and lost one.
"It was important for us to run time off the clock because [Central] is so explosive," he said. "The quarterback [Cunningham] had big numbers and the tailback [Moore] had big numbers, so give credit to our defense because they played an outstanding game."
Now 8-3, Forest Hills will visit No. 2 seed Ligonier Valley in a semifinal game next Saturday.
Central finished 8-3, and, although disappointed with last night's outcome, Baker praised Forest Hills.
"They were good," Baker said. "That quarterback [Donoughe] was excellent and they made all the catches. They made the plays that won the game."
Baker said he wasn't surprised the Rangers threw the ball as much as they did.
"We felt that was what their game was," he said. "They didn't run for a lot of effect ... only once in a while.
"We had seen that [passing game] was their method, and once they got ahead, they ran the ball a little more and ate up the clock more"
Baker was disappointed the Dragons couldn't do more offensively.
"We couldn't sustain our running," he said, "and we weren't able to complete short passes."
