Police Chief Donald Hyatt told trustees at their Tuesday meeting that his department has purchased several new Sig Sauer .223 caliber semi automatic patrol rifles. The rifle is similar in configuration and appearance to the well known AR-15.

Jeremiah Wright, the pastor emeritus at Trinity United Church of Christ (TUCC) in Chicago, is once again at the center of a controversy after making inflammatory statements about Jews and Zionists.
Wright blamed Jews for the fact that he has been out of touch with President Barack Obama in an interview with the Daily Press, a Newport News, Virginia-based newspaper, on June 9. Wright noted that "them Jews aren't going to let him talk to me."
In the same interview, Wright asserted that Israel is committing ethnic cleansing in Gaza, which he described as "a sin and a crime against humanity," and expressed his belief that the Obama Administration would have sent a U.S. delegation to the 2009 Durban Review Conference in April if not for fear of losing "the Jewish vote, the A-I-P-A-C vote, that's controlling him."
Wright later stated that he misspoke and that he did not mean to refer to Jews, but rather Zionists. "I'm not talking about all Jews, all people of the Jewish faith, I'm talking about Zionists," Wright said.
Wright's initial comments and subsequent effort to distinguish between Jews and Zionists is reminiscent of his past inflammatory comments, which propelled him into the spotlight during Obama's primary run, and which he maintained had been taken out of context by the media and others.

It looks like Terry Smith is coming back to Penn State.
Smith, who had a successful career as a receiver with the Nittany Lions before becoming the coach of one of the top high school programs in Pennsylvania, has accepted a position on James Franklin's coaching staff according to a website that covers football at Temple, where he was an assistant in 2013.
Owlscoop.com originally reported the news Sunday afternoon. A message left for Smith by the Mirror wasn't immediately returned.
Smith handled the wide receivers at Temple.
Coming to Penn State as a quarterback from Gateway High School in Monroeville in 1987, Smith left University Park in 1991 as the Nittany Lions' third leading receiver all-time behind Jack Curry and Kenny Jackson.
Smith then returned to his high school alma mater and coached 11 years, compiling a record of 101-30 with the Gators. During that time, Gateway turned out a number of major Division I football recruits, including Lion signee Justin King, whose arrival helped signal a turnaround for Joe Paterno's falling program in the early 2000s.
Smith left Gateway when the district made him choose between being coach or athletic director, positions he held concurrently at that time.
It's unclear what spot Smith will fill on Franklin's staff; receivers coach Josh Gattis has come with Franklin from Vanderbilt.
Smith joins Gattis, John Donovan (offensive coordinator), Charles Huff (running backs), Brent Pry (assistant head coach/linebackers), Ricky Rahne (quarterbacks), Bob Shoop (defensive coordinator/safeties) and Sean Spencer (defensive line) on Franklin's staff. One position still is open.

Adjusting to a new school isn't always easy. That's why two counselors at Altoona Area High School came up with a group to give students the boost they might need to make friends and find a connection.
High school guidance counselor Susan Burk said this is the second year for the Boost student assistance group.
She and fellow high school guidance counselor Andrea Larson came up with the idea to offer a group for new students to help them get oriented at the large school, she said. They encourage the students to attend activities together and join clubs.
"It helps them to feel more at home here at school and more connected," Burk said. "If they are connected, they are more successful."
Students can come from diverse backgrounds, and might lack that connection because of their home life or from moving around, she said. The Boost group gives them a jumping-off point to join clubs and make friends.
This year, the program took students on a field trip with a grant from the Altoona Foundation. They toured the Altoona Mirror building, had lunch and then visited the Altoona Railroaders Memorial Museum in November.
In Burk's 21 years with the school district, the group has been her favorite project.
The students feel free to talk openly about personal concerns with the counselors and each other, she said.
Maureen Calandra, guidance department chair, said like other districts, they offer different ways of helping students acclimate academically, socially and emotionally.
The adolescent years are turbulent, with much development and growth during them, she said. The teen years can be stressful with making the grades or the team, college and relationships.
Groups are developed based on the needs of students, Calandra said.
They also offer a mentoring program.
Teachers are chosen as mentors to meet with students on a weekly basis to check in on how they are doing academically and with attendance, Calandra said. They offer support and guidance.
"The goal is to make sure the students know we care about them and their progress. Every student needs a little support sometimes. People should not think [the transitional programs are for] problem children. The mentoring program lays the groundwork for students to know who to turn to if they are having issues navigating their new school or adjusting socially in a new setting," she said.
The school district has offered transitional programming for at least 15 years, Calandra said.
"It's evolved over the years and changed for the better. We've always recognized the need to deliver support and guidance," she said of transitional programming. "We try to meet the academic, emotional and social needs of the student."

SALEM - The Salem Community Foundation will cover the $34,500 cost to build a replica of the original ticket booth for Reilly Stadium, bringing the Reilly Wall Committee closer to its goal for the west side project.
"We are very appreciative of this generous contribution. Our goal has always been to keep the integrity of this beautiful stadium, which is a very popular historic landmark in Salem. We are hoping to start the project sometime next year," Salem Preservation Society President and committee member Keith Berger said.
The committee's plans include building the ticket booth and a replica of the old north wall, along with the addition of a Dedication Park which will include benches and trees and commemorative pavers.
"The Dedication Park has been extremely popular with hundreds of people/classes purchasing pavers in memory or in honor of a family member or classmate. Many SHS graduates have purchased a paver commemorating the year they graduated," a project press release said.
Pavers in sizes 4 x 8 and 8 x 8 remain available for purchase, with cards available to announce a gift. All donations are tax deductible. Call Karen Carter at 330-332-4959 for information about donating to the project or purchasing pavers.
The Salem Preservation Society joined forces with the Salem City Board of Education to try to preserve some of the history surrounding Reilly Stadium, with plans originally calling for the group to raise funds to cover the replacement of the north wall facing Pershing Street, part of the east-facing wall behind the band shell and complete the ticket booth and replica wall with the Dedication Park.
Citing safety concerns, the school board in January decided to foot the bill for taking down the north wall and putting up a temporary fence. This summer, the board and the Reilly Wall Committee agreed to alter the original plans, with the board handling the north side and part of the east side and the committee handling the west side.
The board opened bids for construction of a north wall which will include replica wrought iron ornamental fencing in between pillars of brick, covering the cost with permanent improvement funds.

For every band or fashion that's generated controversy and polarization for ascending from the punk rock underground to mainstream cultural consciousness, Green Day's the most successful on all fronts. So, OK, maybe they are the Alpha and Omega of punk poseurdom.
However, unlike the majority of their contemporaries from the '90s alterna-boom, Green Day continues to attract new fans. That's why they are headlining their own arena tour instead of phoning in a set of nearly 20-year-old crowd-pleasers on the Warped Tour.

Tickets for next year's Pirates exhibition game against the Curve at Peoples Natural Gas Field go on sale Dec. 1, and demand is expected to be great, with prices ranging from $13 to $20.
"The hope is that we have a nice, big crowd there and that every seat is full," Curve general manager Rob Egan said.
Not just every seat, but every nook and cranny of the ballpark could be filled as there's the possibility of approaching 10,000 fans. The ballpark seats 7,210, and the all-time record attendance was 9,308 for the 2006 Eastern League All-Star Game.
"Fortunately we've got a ballpark that has a huge open concourse and has a lot of standing-room space ... that allows us to put a lot more people than actual seats in the stadium," Egan said.
The exhibition game will be Saturday, March 30 at 2 p.m. and will mark the Pirates' second visit to Altoona. They also visited for an exhibition against the Curve in 2000.
|Pirates prices
|Ticket prices for the Pirates exhibition game against the Curve at PNG Field:
|Rail Kings
|Diamond Club (100 level)
|Terrace (200 level)
|Grandstand (300 level)
|General adm./OF bleachers
Curve officials believe the ballpark will safely and comfortably accommodate 10,000 fans, but even with such a big number, that doesn't mean tickets will remain available once March rolls around.
Season-ticket holders and others who qualified during previous promotions have had and will have opportunities to get their tickets before Dec. 1, and there are maximums to the number of seats they can purchase.
Once those tickets are accounted for, the Curve will have a better idea how many will be available to the general public. Fans hoping to attend the game might want to consider purchasing tickets "as early as they can," Egan said, beginning Dec. 1, and there will be ticket maximums that each individual can buy.
"We're trying to do it in a measured way so we're not giving anybody false expectations, false hope, yet trying to give everybody a chance of getting tickets to the game," Egan said.
The Curve will hold a Holiday Bazaar at PNG Field on Dec. 1, and tickets will be on sale from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. for fans in-person only. Tickets will go on sale beginning Dec. 3 over the phone at 877-99-CURVE and at altoonacurve.com.
Regular-season ticket prices at PNG Field range from $5 to $12, and while the Pirates exhibition game will cost more, Egan believes the prices are affordable given the rarity of the event.
"We looked at major league pricing versus ours, and we certainly didn't want to even come close to major league pricing," Egan said.
Season-ticket holders receive tickets for the Pirates exhibition as part of their plans, and Egan added, "The incentive for buying a season ticket or mini-plan is still there if you want to guarantee a better seat in the ballpark. People can still do that over the next few weeks before Dec. 1."
The Pirates announced during the spring that they would be visiting Altoona for the exhibition game. It will come near the end of spring training for the Bucs, and the Curve team will arrive in town a few days earlier than usual to host the game.
"It's an opportunity for us to say thank you to the great fans of Altoona who support us and support the Curve," Pirates president Frank Coonelly said of the exhibition.

6 Ways to Get Anyone to Believe a Clearly Fake News Story
We've previously talked about obviously fake news stories that somehow managed to fool the mainstream media. As this sort of thing continues to pile up, it seems like it's worth taking a deeper look at why. What kinds of bullshit are best streamlined to slip past our bullshit detectors?
Here are some of the top methods that fool a lot of the people a lot of the time.
A "Study" Shows Some Bad-Mouthed Group Has Lower IQs
Every self-respecting Internet snob knows that real PC users use Chrome or Firefox Web browsers (or something more obscure), and that Internet Explorer is for children and grandmothers, and any adult using it must be a dunce who breaks their DVD drive and complains to tech support about how flimsy their "cupholder" was.
That's why it was so easy for people to swallow a "study" claiming that IE users have lower IQs than users of other browsers. The hoaxer admitted he was just trying to make a point about IE6 and pointed out eight obvious reasons why people should have been able to tell it was fake.
But nobody was looking because we all just know that IE users are dumb, so if we see a professional looking website with a "study" on it proving what we "know," why dig deeper?
Sure, that looks solid.
Similarly, Keith Olbermann once went on air to report that parents lose 12 to 20 IQ points after having children, according to a study reported on a local fake news website (Indiana's version of The Onion). That's clearly an anti-Olbermann site there, but it's mentioned elsewhere, along with the fact he apologized on-air afterward. But childless people everywhere were probably saying, "Of course, that explains why my friends go goofy talking to their babies and buying them stupid baby products." And parents themselves were probably saying, "Well, I sure felt like a zombie for that first year, I guess that makes sense."
"At the time, I thought it was because I was tired as hell, but sure, maybe I just became dumber permanently."
And of course, there was a famous Internet-fabricated chart showing that people who voted for Bush had lower IQs, fooling big news publications like the Economist. It just seemed so obviously true to anyone anti-Bush at the time that there wasn't any need to check. And if you say you've got scientific proof that Bush himself has a lower IQ than any other president, well, no one was going to fact-check that. Certainly not Doonesbury cartoonist Garry Trudeau or The Guardian, as we've mentioned before.
I'm not saying Bush was not stupid, I'm just saying that journalistic integrity requires you to base that assessment on, like, things he's done or said, and not on fake "studies." But it's so, so tempting to say science backs you up on what you know.
Let's put it this way: I'm pretty sure I could put together a website in multi-colored Comic Sans for the "University of Provolone" publishing a study that claims Twilight fans are 10 IQ points dumber than average, and nobody would ever call me on it.
Amazing Scientific Breakthroughs!
If you know anything about science, you know that real scientific advances are things like, "One New Protein Identified In 500 Protein Pathway That Causes Breast Cancer." Boring! Or "Researchers Discover One Possibility How Life On Mars Could Have Gotten Its Water, If There Was Life On Mars, And It Needed Water." Ho-hum!
From Clinical Cancer Research
Or something catchy like this.
Don't get me wrong, that shit is as important as hell, and it's exactly those little steps which come together by the thousands to make great scientific advances. But it's horribly boring news for Joe and Jane Newsweek Reader. That's why it always gets turned into "Cancer Almost Cured!" or "Proof of Life On Mars!"
For example: One day, a NASA researcher was talking to some friends at a party about how biological life she was studying in Spain might be similar to something that could live on Mars. Next thing she knew, there was a headline saying "NASA Researchers Claim Evidence of Present Life on Mars." Apparently she had told this to "a group of space officials" at a "private meeting," as reported by Space.com and MSNBC.
This woman is sharing her views of male-female large group social dynamics at a private meeting.
Any scientist knows that science doesn't really happen in big surprises like that, where one day nobody knows what an atom is, and the next day some lone scientist has split it and created an atomic bomb. But this happens all the time in movies, where one lone crackpot secretly discovers a cure for cancer or a formula for perpetual energy, without working with any other scientists or going off any previous research, and unveils it all at once.
That tiny print there is a list of AUTHORS of this study of breast cancer genes.
It's just that kind of movie mentality that makes people think that of course one guy would be able to beat AIDS and his genes hold the secret to curing AIDS for everyone. Soon the bad guys will come for him and there will be an exciting chase! Oh wait no, he didn't have AIDS. Maybe we could still have a chase though?
The Dumb Old Days
We've mentioned before about the Flat Earth myth, which says that people in Columbus' day were too stupid to know the Earth was round. We swallow that kind of thing so easily because of course people in the old days were much dumber than us, believing in myths and bloodletting and stuff.
There is nothing so retarded that we won't believe the "ancients" would have fallen for it. While people in the old days were kind of ignorant about many things, we might go a bit overboard overestimating their gullibility and naivete. Discoveries keep coming up showing that people of the past had more things figured out than we expected.
Like hats.
It doesn't have to be the ancient past, either. We were fully willing to accept that people in 1954 thought this was what a home computer would look like in the future.
From Snopes.com
I mean, they thought we would have flying cars, right? They're dumb as hell. Of course they'll believe ordinary people will fill entire rooms in their houses with computers in the future, computers that have steering wheels.
Yes, the steering while might have been a giveaway that it was a Photoshop of a Smithsonian exhibit of a nuclear sub control room.
From Snopes.com
The original photo.
I mean, don't get me wrong, people in the 1950s were very ignorant about some things, like black people having rights, but that didn't mean they went around buying bridges from con men all the time.

Crystal Palace striker Cameron Jerome believes Tony Pulis deserves to be ranked among the best managers in the Premier League.
Since replacing Ian Holloway in November, Pulis has overseen a fine revival at Selhurst Park, turning around the fortunes of a side tipped for an immediate return to the Championship.
A 3-0 victory over Cardiff City on Saturday followed a shock 1-0 win against title-chasing Chelsea the previous week and lifted Palace seven points clear of the relegation zone.
Jerome, who also worked with Pulis at Stoke City, believes the experienced boss deserves all the praise coming his way.
"He is definitely up there," Jerome said. "Jose Mourinho said last week, from where we were to where we are now speaks for itself.
"It's not necessarily the manager that wins the league who is the best; it's the one who has done the best job.
"I think with the resources he has got, the amount of people that have written him off, Tony has done an unbelievable job.
"He deserves every plaudit that he gets. He had a point to prove coming here and he's the sort of man who relishes that sort of challenge.
"If he manages to keep us in the Premier League, he will have done a fantastic job. His tactics are spot on.
"You can talk about other people being 'The Special One' and this or that, but he doesn't get enough credit for the way he plays.
"People say he's one-dimensional and plays long balls, but he's got Premier League experience. He knows what it takes to stay in this league."

Rightmove Asking Price Index Out Tomorrow (Mon)
Posted 19 February 2012 - 06:32 PM
Posted 19 February 2012 - 06:35 PM
easy to call +1.5% at least guaranteed 100%
Mortgage broker friend (South East) complains Feb has been his worst month EVER - £zer0. Any panic to beat the stamp duty holiday has probably fallen out of the figures and we had a fall last month anyway. Having said that, I've seen a couple of properties come on in recent weeks (Cardiff) for beyond-stupid asking prices. (There's 'trying it on' and there's barking.) Without looking at previous Febs, I'd guess it's one of those months that always sees a rise and I'm preparing myself for such.
Osborne says; Printing money is the last resort of desperate governments when all other policies have failed.
George Osborne December 2008; Savers and pensioners are the forgotten victims They are innocent bystanders and its simply not good enough for the Government to walk on by."
In his 1997 Budget speech, Gordon Brown said, "I will not allow house prices to get out of control and put at risk the sustainability of the future". He went on to say that he did not want a return to "instability, speculation and negative equity" of the 1980's and 1990's.

Yep, this index is a waste of time. It only dropped about 6% at the worst other than that it's been roughly the same since 07.
"The time to buy is when blood is running in the streets" Baron Nathan Rothschild

(Feels like my area contributed most to the rise)
If you say "Democorruptcy" quickly, it sounds a bit like "Democracy". In a "Democracy" people vote for politicians who represent their interests. In the UK's "Democorruptcy" people can only vote for expense fiddling thieving MPs who are in the hip pocket of big business and the finance sector.
A "Governbankment" is a Government like ours, that has no line between itself and banks. It diverts public money (our taxes) to private companies (banks). George Osborne's Help to
Buy Bail Banks, promises our taxes will go to bankers, to cover their losses on mortgages that default.
The more houses cost, the more hours you have to work to buy one. The more hours you work, the more taxes you have to pay the Governbankment. The more debt you take on and the longer the mortgage term, the more interest you have to pay bankers, so the more hours you also have to work for them. House were cheap when people did mortgages at 3x main income for a whole house. Now banks encourage them to do 4.5x joint income, often for only a share of a house, the houses cost a lot more. House prices are all about people's appetite for lending.
If it is asserted that civilization is a real advance in the condition of man -- and I think that it is, though only the wise improve their advantages -- it must be shown that it has produced better dwellings without making them more costly; and the cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.

Agreed. Although, lack of new stock = EAs getting more desperate to win new instructions = even more ludicrous valuations.
A 3 or 4% wouldn't even surprise me - cue Miles telling vendors that they're deluded, fundamentals won't support rises like this etc etc.

In my opinion, anything below 1.2% would be interesting. Also, I remember the previous report where they highlighted a 1.6% increase in two weeks during January. I would not be at all surprised to see a figure around 3% tho - got to keep the public confidence in piles of bricks high .

Buy-to-Let creates its own demand.
Every property 'snapped up' turns a potential homeowner into a renter.
Posted 19 February 2012 - 10:14 PM
I absolutely agree! The only thing that counts is sold prices and transaction numbers. The number of sales going through is fairly low. So many houses come back on with anew agent trying it on again. The difference in price between 'homes that are selling' and the asking prices of 'homes that stay on the shelf' is now very substantial indeed. It is as if 2 markets are apparent. One with a flicker of reality attached and another in the parrallel universe where a few old victorian bricks and a new kitchen= £up to a million pounds in London or even a half million elsewhere.
Asking prices are irrelevant.
Spoke to an agent on Friday - looked at a rental which is also for sale - he was strangely loose with info - no interest in the property as a sale atall - 3 viewers for rent - all had put in vastly lower rent offers (30% below asking). So we put in a 25% below rent offer. Lovely house, but half the price to rent than buy. Does that tell you anything? SE
Posted 19 February 2012 - 10:26 PM
The people closest to you have been trying to tell you that you have made a difference. That you did change things for the better. The Universe is vast and we are so small. There is really only one thing that we can ever truly control - whether we are good or evil.
The political triumph of the American Right has been to advance relentlessly the economic interests of the country's richest people, while emphasising a swath of moral, social and foreign policy issues that motivate and certainly distract middle-class and poor voters.

- Santo Domingo- A background voice in a striking tone stresses the long-yearned for democracy which the country needed as freedom was slipping further away during Trujillo's 30-year reign of terror A somber ambience prevails in the Memorial Hall of the Heroes of Constanza, Maimon and Estero Hondo, where the 53rd anniversary of the failed invasion of June 14, 1959, is commemorated today. Sprinkled with images of the revolutionary saga, the hall located in the Centro de los Heroes station of the city's first subway line, transports visitors to the battled scenes and invites them to envisage the carnage which ensued agsint the 198 courageous men who formed the Dominican Liberation Army, of which only seven survived: Praise the brave expeditionaries of June 1959, who fought against the Trujillo dictatorship. . .

The Doctor of Ministry program at Virginia Union University School of Theology focuses on personal and cultural realism in ministry; therefore, the program is generally described as Ministry in Cultural Context. It recognizes the unique and special contributions that each cultural context provides for the church at large. Moreover, there is the recognition that persons are best prepared to serve the world when there is an awareness of the particulars of one's own culture. The ultimate goal is to prepare the laity to understand and to embody their unique gifts as persons and groups, in order to share those gifts in a pluralistic society.
Because the nature of the program relates so closely to the constituency of the church or ministry context, the applicant should be able to demonstrate the position of his or her engagement with the church/context for the period of the program.
The Doctor of Ministry school year is divided into two terms – Fall and Spring. Students are only expected to be on campus for the new student orientation and each colloquium. Colloquiums are held for two consecutive weeks every January and July.

• TO EMPOWER the professional minister for the task of enhancing the spiritual growth, wholeness and leadership skills of the laity with whom they serve.
• TO EQUIP the minister with leadership skills that will help him/her to enable others to better serve. Particular attention is given to the impact of cultural contexts on the styles and methods of ministry.
• TO ENHANCE communication - writing and speaking skills. Students will apply these skills to their various cultural traditions and empower new contributions concerning the understanding of ministry, which are worthy of sharing in and between various groups that constitute the church at large.
• TO ESTABLISH models for addressing unique needs within and between ethnic and cultural groups as congregations and constituencies. Such models become the (Project Document) of each candidate. Participation in the group process is mandatory and familiarizes all members of the cohorts with the unique contribution of each participant
First Year:
• ORI-601 Orientation (September)

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Jan. 6, 2014
Saint Vincent College's Department of Criminology, Law and Society in the School of Social Sciences, Communication and Education has announced the addition of three new minors in forensic studies – computer security, financial investigations and natural sciences. "The field of forensics is a growing and dynamic one that has far outstripped its initial boundaries as a discipline only pertinent to the gathering of data at crime scenes," commented Dr. Bruce A. Antkowiak, Saint Vincent College professor of law, legal counsel and director of the Criminology, Law and Society program. "Today, a vast array of natural sciences has been brought to the field of criminal investigations and prosecutions where they have been joined by computer information science and financial investigation expertise as critical components of the criminal justice process," he continued. "Within the next 15 years, natural scientists, computer security specialists and accountants will be having much more interaction with the legal system and the agents and attorneys within that system will need to carry on meaningful conversations with those forensic experts in the effort to do justice in each case." "Given this increasing need for the integration of the new forensics and the criminal justice system, minors in forensic studies seem particularly appropriate," he concluded. "The goal of these minors is to provide students with a broad-based understanding of the particular concentration of forensics which they will choose to satisfy their minor requirements. It is not meant to provide them with all of the skills necessary to perform the job of a computer security specialist or a forensic accountant. Rather, the goal is to provide them with a working understanding of the integration of each of these disciplines with the criminal law so that the students may, if they wish, pursue those specializations in other undergraduate or future graduate study or, at a minimum, be able to conduct intelligent conversations with experts in those areas as they pursue careers in the legal field and/or law enforcement." Given the strength of the Saint Vincent computer security concentration available in the computing and information science department, and the traditional excellence of the natural sciences and business school curriculums offered by the Boyer School and McKenna School at Saint Vincent, the new minors offer a student a high level opportunity to succeed in these challenging areas. While the minors are open to students from any undergraduate discipline, they are expected to be attractive to those who are already majoring in computing and information science, accounting or a natural science as well as those who are majoring in criminology, law and society. Details on the courses making up each minor are available from Antkowiak at firstname.lastname@example.com.

"We're living in science fiction, but we don't realize it." Terry Pratchett
A simple device that changed our entire lives from the very core and permeated every possible facet and ramification. An old idea dating back to the 1960s when IBM (and many others) started to experiment and build it. Something that catalyzed industry and market growth in nearly every sector. What was it?
At the turn of the century, if someone had told you that in a few years you'd be able to order a pizza, schedule your day, find the fastest route to work, buy a birthday present, subscribe to a magazine, check up on your friends and more, all of these things with just a few taps on a small display screen in a few minutes, you'd have told that person that he reads too many Isaac Asimov novels. And yet here we are : 2013, the year of innovation, opportunities and adventure.
Let's recap a few of the major changes in 2012 and see what 2013 promises.
The mobile and mobile application market reached unprecedented heights by the end of 2012. Sporting 1bn plus smartphones, or in other words, 1 in 7 people own a smartphone right now. If this is not impressive enough, the total revenue from mobile apps was $8,5bn in 2011 and in 2012 surpassed the $30bn milestone, a sum that's projected to reach $46bn by 2016 according to ABI Research. Just a couple more. Bloomberg Industries estimates the smartphone market was worth $219 billion last year. The total number of mobile apps downloaded worldwide was roughly over 45,6bn, and according to Gartner, will reach 309bn downloads in 2016.
We might be a little coy and proffer the observation that we see the word ,,billion" quite often here. Why? What accounts for these high predictions? Why has the mobile app industry and its respective ecosystems reached this peak? Most agree on a basic statement. Unlike many areas in life, the mobile application industry catalyzes itself through its own progress and competition. One main reason is that it's a self improving and self revolutionizing organism. That, coupled with the fact that the mobile application industry numbers its age in dog years, leads to a simple conclusion : Road Runner velocity.
Change happens at a ridiculously fast pace today, from body armor for women, wingsuit racing and more, thus let's take a peek at what new techs aspire to shake up the montagne russe of the mobile landscape in 2013 and what they promise.
1. Augmented reality to shape the future of mobile commerce
Although still in its ,,soon to be mass adopted" phase, augmented reality apps promise to bring the retail experience to a new stage of shopping. Smart devices and social media have impacted online shopping to such a degree that 40% of people search for products using Twitter and Nielsen reported that 50% of US smartphone owners use shopping apps monthly, frequenting eBay, Amazon, Groupon and LivingSocial's mobile stores. About 45 million smartphone owners access shopping-and-commerce apps each month. One last tidbit is, according to mashable.com, 45% of shoppers buy online products they wouldn't buy in person.
Augmented reality apps promise to deliver the experience to a higher level of customer engagement and immersiveness. Shopping online, besides being quick, easy and personal, stands to be improved through features such as digitally walking into a store, trying out clothes, products, find info, offers, interactive games and competitions for products and so on. Even so, there are many complications in developing AR mobile apps. A rigorous developing process, difficulties in integrating with smartphone capabilities such as camera and compass, light conditions, accuracy functionality and other problems will lead to limited enterprise adoption in the medium term.
Although only few AR apps exist at the moment, despite complications and long term development processes, Juniper Report find that AR mobile applications will generate in 2013 $300mn in revenues and hope to put AR into the customer crosshairs.
2. Project Glass
First unveiled by Google in May 2012, the wearable smartphone seeks to offer a new avenue of interaction and AR. Still in the early stages of development, Google Glasses aim to provide a sleek design and catchy experience to the user. Essentially, Google Glasses are a headset above your right eye featuring camera, display, processor, memory, microphone, speaker, gyroscope, compass, accelerometer and multiple radios, wi-fi and many other specs soon to be revealed. The operating system will be Android.
The futuristic glasses have received mixed critical reception, from Time accolading it as one of the ,,Best Inventions of the Year 2012″, to "In one simple fake video … Google has created a level of over-hype and over-expectation that their hardware cannot possibly live up to," Blair MacIntyre, of Georgia Tech's Augmented Environments Lab told Wired in 2012.
News and rumours vary according to release date for developers or consumers, but the approximate customer/dev beta test release will be somewhere at the end of the year. Whether the high-tech eyewear stands to write a check its hardware can't cash or it will revolutionize the mobile landscape, it remains to be seen.
3. Snapdragon 800 and 600 mobile processors set to take the stage in 2013
Qualcomm announces next generation mobile processors that are ready to take mobile performance to a new level of speed, reliability and power. The quad-core Snapdragon 800 is the flagship chip for flagship smartphones and tablets, geared up to deliver speeds up to 2.3GHz. With high-end devices in mind, Qualcomm states that the Snapdragon 800 will provide up to 75% better performance than previous chips. Products are expected to start shipping in the Q2 of 2013. For a complete list of specifications , click here.
4. 5th generation wi-fi 802.11ac couples the freedom of wireless with the capabilities of Gigabit Ethernet
The pledge that the 802.11ac makes is simple : Faster speeds, longer reach, same price.
802.11ac boosts Wi-Fi performance to 1 Gbps levels. This and other new Wi-Fi standards, such as 802.11ad (60 GHz, multi-Gbps in-room Wi-Fi) and 802.11ah (low-frequency Wi-Fi), will continue to expand the capabilities of the Wi-Fi family of technologies. The strong Wi-Fi road map will enable it to address new application areas such as high-definition video streaming telemetry, games, media, social networks and shouldering traffic from cellular networks. It is estimated that it will be launched in the first half of 2013.
For a specifications and development history, check out this whitepaper.
5. Flexible smartphones around the bend
A lot of people talk about design flexibility. Samsung seems to take the notion literally. Though still a work in progress, Samsung states "foldable, rollable, wearable and more, [and] will allow for a high degree of durability through their use of a plastic substrate that is thinner, lighter and more flexible than… conventional LCD technology."
This feat is possible by making the display out of an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) and shielding it in plastic rather than glass.
Samsung will most likely be the first company to launch such a device in 2013, although Samsung has yet to officially confirm if the new technology would be on the next Galaxy S or Galaxy Note smartphone or if it will roll out a new line of Galaxy Flexible smartphones.
From new levels of speed and durability, glasses that can revolutionize mobile apparel, processors that stand to rival laptops and desktops and phones that can be thrown in a fit of fury and still be functional, 2013 promises to be a year of explorers and innovation in the mobile adventure. The future is happening now and dramatic tension builds with each new update from developers and companies that stand to revitalize branding opportunities, customer targeting and catalyzing intrepid monetization ideas to revenues and reputation.
These are just a small fraction of the main contenders for the ,,mobile innovation of the year" prestigious claim but the year is young and it promises new plot twists and turns before the play is over.
What's your take on these new techs ready to spring up in 2013? Will they create more chaos or consolidation in the mobile landscape? Leave a comment below.

For me it's Wake me up when the Summer ends!! September is the start of my favorite time of the year. I'm only truly happy from September 1 till December 25th about 9PM. I'm still watching Hockey I love hockey to much to not want to get as much as I can so I'm definetly still watching the Stanley Cup Finals in hopes that the Kings Win!! I'm also playing NHL 12 for PS3 in the Be A GM Mode. Once the season is completely over I will be anixously awaiting the NHL Awards Show, the NHL Draft, and the Opening of the Free Agent Market on July 1. In between those times than after July 1 right up until September 1 I'll be watching a bunch of old tapes that I've taped off the tv from past years hockey games. I've taped a bunch of Hockey games in the past and the beauty of it is that I seem to forget the results of alot of them so it's like watching it for the firs time. I've taped just little peices of games a to just highlights and entire games. I've taped some Pro Beach Hockey and some ECHL and AHL All-Star Games so I usually try to drown myself in old hockey until the new stuff comes along. I'm also considering going to the Detroit Red Wings Development Camp in July up in Traverse City ans well as going to the NHL Prospect Camp and Detroit Red Wings Training Camp in September as always. I'm always in my driveway in the summer shooting at my net plus I just got my very own Sled for Sled Hockey so I'll be spending a ton of time at the rink trying to get better and prepare for the coming Sled Hockey Season. Oh and I'm also always looking to help my coaches make the schedule for the up-coming season so I'm always trying to make contacts with as many Michigan teams as possible to maybe get a game or event scheduled for the up-coming season(s). I hate just about everything about summer so I really try to keep myself emersed in Hockey all year long.

Two BC Law Grads Named in MLW's "Lawyers of the Year" List
2012 news archive
Newton, MA--BC Law graduates John H. Cunha Jr. '77, and Robert F. Shaw '97 are named in a list of ten 'Lawyers of the Year," compiled by the editorial staff at Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly.
Cunha, of Cunha & Holcomb, was selected for his work on the 'Mattapan Massacre' homicide trial. The jury in that case found his client not guilty. Shaw, of the Law Offices of Robert F. Shaw Jr., convinced the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court to overturn a murder conviction in November based in part on the admissibility of a rap video as evidence of gang affiliation.
The special section featuring the 2012 Lawyers of the Year will appear in the January 14th issue of Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly.

As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Being tool builders is part of what separates humans from the rest of the animal kingdom. It is only natural that, as scientists, we are drawn toward that which is new, fast, ultra, and novel. Perfinity Biosciences created a system that automates multiple sample-preparation workflows, performing them in a fraction of the time it takes to perform the same steps using traditional methods. Recently, Perfinity had to take a step back when a customer called a time-out, saying "speed is important, but when analyzing proteins, the biggest challenge is getting quality data."
The growing impact of proteins as efficacious drugs and diagnostic biomarkers is forcing the analytical community to deal with extremely high levels of analyte and sample complexity. Due to the time and cost associated with developing an ELISA, mass spectrometric approaches are playing an increasing role in protein analyses. Furthermore, mass spectrometric methods enable detection of isoform variations and post-translational modifications; identification of these features being key to an understanding of protein function and activity.
Proteins exist in complex cellular environments. Reducing sample complexity prior to mass spectrometric analysis is a necessary evil. Necessary, in that if left undone you run the risk of exceeding the analytical limitations of the instrument and getting an answer you can't trust. Evil, in that reducing sample complexity can be complicated, always involves multiple steps, and is often a highly variable process. This leaves us with answer quality being dependent on the simplicity of the sample being analyzed and the variability of the sample-preparation process. In short, we need simple solutions that give us simple solutions.
Many protein quantitation and biomarker validation procedures utilize an immunoaffinity enrichment step to purify the sample and maximize the sensitivity of the corresponding liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry measurements. In order to generate surrogate peptides with better mass spectrometric properties, protein enrichment is followed by a proteolytic cleavage step. Unlike ELISA, this is a serial process and a three-day sample-preparation procedure is often part of performing a single analysis.
The Perfinity Workstation automates protein sample preparation reducing process times and more importantly, producing quality results. A key to quality is having extraction, buffer exchange, digestion, desalting, and reverse-phase separation functionalities built into and performed using a single instrument.
When multiple pieces of equipment are used for this process, multiple pipettes are being used to transfer picogram quantities of analytes. There is difficulty removing the entire sample from microvessels, such as fraction collector tubes, and there is the possibility of contamination from the open nature of the apparatuses. In addition to the historical need for multiple apparatuses, complexities of the immunoaffinity LC/MS/MS sample preparation process have hindered broad application.
Consider the trypsin digestion step. Over the course of a trypsin digestion performed using traditional methods, you have peptides of varying solubility being generated that are allowed to interact with the walls of the reaction vessel; an increasingly large number of peptide substrates being formed that need to react with the enzyme a second or third time in order for the reaction to reach completion; substrates that are losing their 3-D structure, reducing the favorability of a complete reaction (trypsin being an endopeptidase); and an enzyme that is losing activity over the course of reaction due to incubation at elevated temperatures.
Biomarker validation should not require an understanding of peptide solubility, reaction kinetics, and trypsin activity. Key to the value of the Perfinity Workstation (patent pending) format accounts for these factors through an integration of columns, buffers, and software enabling users to shift their focus from workflows to answers.

I generally will continue to prepare the return of a client who moves from New Jersey to another state, and currently do returns for clients in many different states. However, I have decided that if a client moves to a state whose state tax return I have not prepared I will no longer continue to prepare their returns – I do not want to have to take the time to learn a new state's tax laws. At most I may continue to prepare the federal return and have the state return prepared by a local NATP member.
So the shameless self-promotion of which I speak has nothing to do with promoting my tax preparation services.
The reason I no longer accept new clients, and am trying to "thin the herd", is that I want to have more time during the "regular year" to devote to writing.
Along those lines I do want to make it publicly known that I am available to write articles or a regular column for any print or online newsletter, magazine or publication – for a fee, of course. I can write a Q + A column with questions submitted by your readers, or I can tailor my articles or column to items that are of specific interest to your readers (i.e. written for the self-employed, or homeowners, or those with rental property, or a specific kind of trade or business such as police officers or fire fighters).
I am also available to write special reports on tax topics which you can be reprinted and distributed to members of a union or membership organization or readers of your publication.
If you are interested, or want more information, you can email me at firstname.lastname@example.com. Be sure to write "The Wandering Tax Pro" or "Tax Articles" or "Tax Column" in the subject line!
I also want to take this opportunity to "tout" my special report MY BEST TAX ADVICE. As the title suggests, this report provides the best tax advice I can give you and covers such topics as keeping track of investment cost basis, how long should you keep your tax records, what to do if you get a letter from the IRS (or your state), and choosing a tax professional.
I am in the process of completing a special report titled "TAXBUSTERS", which will discuss
• avoiding the penalty for underpayment of estimated tax
• evaluating tax-free investments
• flexible spending accounts
• joint vs separate
• making the most of available education tax benefits
• multiple support agreements
• and much more
This report should be ready to "go to press" by mid-October.
I am offering a special TWO FOR ONE sale for orders post-marked through November 30, 2009 - I will send you both MY BEST TAX ADVICE and TAXBUSTERS, as email attachments in "pdf" format, for only $2.00!
To order your copies of these two great special reports send a check or money order for $2.00 payable to TAXPRO SERVICES CORPORATION to –
Be sure to include your email address. As mentioned above I will send the two reports to you as "pdf" email attachments.
If you have found the advice, information and resources I provide here at THE WANDERING TAX PRO ordering these two special reports is an excellent way to show your "appreciation" and to help to make sure that TWTP remains alive.
Thank you very much for allowing me to indulge in shameless self-promotion. I promise to return to serious tax topics tomorrow.

Craig Cathcart's starting status against Bournemouth in Week 7 is questionable due to a groin injury.
Joe Allen faces a race against the clock to be ready for Stoke City's trip to Old Trafford in Week 7.
Tell me if you've heard this before, James Morrison might be ready to return from his hamstring injury for Week 7 at Sunderland.
Everton manager Ronald Koeman confirmed a bit of bittersweet injury news ahead of Friday night's matchup with Crystal Palace.
Alan Pardew confirmed Crystal Palace will welcome winger Wilfried Zaha back into the lineup Friday night against Everton.
Arsene Wenger, speaking ahead of Arsenal's Week 7 match with Burnley, ruled out his France international forward due to the continuing effects of a toe injury.
Jurgen Klopp revealed in his press conference ahead of Liverpool's trip to Swansea City that Divock Origi may not make the squad as the forward copes with a minor foot injury.
Francesco Guidolin pulled no punches when asked about his future with Swansea City ahead of their match with Liverpool, accepting the fact that, if he fails to win, he could be out of a job.
