Head Spins: Al B. Rotten is White Room's Friday-night DJ
If you've been out and about anywhere in Miami over the past eight years, you've probably seen or heard the cat sometimes called Al B. Rotten. Rotten — or Andrews Lorenzana, as he's known to the DMV — was part of the ragtag gaggle of über-crazies behind the long-running weekly night named Spiderpussy. But once Spiderpussy crawled into history, Rotten and co-conspirator Johnny Strokes (born Rafael DeOnate) slipped into White Room and opened up Exposure, which turned out to be an excellent way to remedy those ho-hum Mondays. But earlier this week, Exposure snapped into a hiatus, and now Rotten, Strokes, and company bring us a Friday party at White Room, Escape.
But rewind to the beginnings of Lorenzana's turn as a head spinner. As Andrews the promoter, he has always been one of those who pull the strings that keep the night crawlers all tied up. But when Lorenzana truly became Rotten was when he stepped behind the turntables and began blasting out the classic punk from which he derives his moniker.
Actually, it wasn't a set of turntables — it was two Discmans and a mixer. The place was the old Sushi Box, on Biscayne Boulevard, and Lorenzana was throwing a sort of dinner party. But the music enthusiast also wanted to control the sound, so he threw down some of his favorite tracks. Then one night about a week later, he watched as DJ Le Spam wowed the crowd at Spiderpussy, then at Lounge 16. At that point, the host decided he himself could spin, and Al B. Rotten was born.

And though the styles he plays have evolved, the worth rotten still applies to the attitude of the dirty electro dance and dubstep that now make up most of his sets. That's not to say Al B. has given up on the Pistols or the Buzzcocks or the Ramones. It's just that he finds a bit of punk's original roar in what's now going down on the dance floor.

In Rotten's tenure at Exposure, the beats brought on a madness only those who never have to work in the morning could fathom. But all great nights come to an end, even if that end is technically a hiatus. And everyone has to grow up sometime, at least a little. So if you head to hear Rotten spin at his new Friday-night party — a, well, normal night to go out — you might think you've matured. But don't be fooled. Because with Rotten at a party's core, you're sure to feel just like a kid all over again.

NGP to be Named PlayStation Vita - Report
Rumors peg the Next Generation Portable's name as PS Vita.
It seems likely that we'll learn the final name of the PlayStation Portable's successor at its E3 press conference next Monday. The surprise may have been spoiled as two (purportedly separate) reports have surfaced showing that the Next Generation Portable's final name will be PlayStation Vita, or PS Vita, as the image above shows. It isn't the first time we've heard the name used in connection with the system -- developers told 1UP that "VITA" was the code name Sony had been using to refer to it.
A Blogspot website, which has since been made private (cached versions available here and here), posted both the name and picture above, which is said to be a prepared graphic for E3. Joystiq reports a note was left on the site at one point that read, "This has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever done. I don't know what I was thinking. I'm sorry. I really am."
Another website, Games Pundit, claims to have heard from an anonymous source that Vita is the system's name but offered up no evidence beyond that. RipTen, meanwhile, claims it's also heard Vita will be the system's name, and that what's currently referred to as Uncharted NGP will be known as Uncharted: Golden Abyss.
Lending some credence to the name -- which would otherwise appear to be spurious -- is a subdomain for Vita on the Sony Computer Entertainment developer network website, vita.scedev.net. Replacing "Vita" with other names like PS3, PSP, and NGP all forward to the same place as Vita, whereas others (PS4, for example) lead nowhere.
It's unclear how one would even go about pronouncing the word (is it an "e" sound or an "i" sound?) but just because it seems downright weird doesn't mean anything. Wii wasn't a likely choice for a system's name, either, and certain people unintentionally calling it the Nintendo "Why" or cracking jokes about the name didn't prevent the system from going on to be an enormous success.
Sony isn't commenting on the name right now. We should hopefully know more in about a week's time.

MEMORY!?!?!?Posted: Jun 11, 2011 12:00AM PST by bulldog203
the only thing i havnt heard them mention is, how much memory this thing comes with, does it come with 16gigs of memory like the go? can we buy memory cards for it??? does anyone have any idea??
...............................................................Posted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by alphaunit880
In the end, I don't care what they call it. Whether it's NGP or PS Vitamin Water, I'm sure the experience would be just fine. It looks to be a great console overall, but I'm a DS fan, so I gotta skip this...

Stupid namesPosted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by sj420
Are a big downfall for anything. The only people who don't care about dumb sounding product names are Middle aged women and little girls.
Is sony trying to follow nintendo and market to old ladies and little annoying girls? Looks like it.
P.S. Just because a lot of people bought the wii doesn't mean its an enormous success. Theres a difference in making a lot of money and being respected and liked by the gaming community. You could make TONS of money and not be liked at all by the gaming community, why? Because they aren't targeting us as their demographic, they are targeting old people, children (girls), and other inept people. Gamecube/NDS was probably the last time nintendo was successful. Sorry.
Funny thing is I always made fun of the wii, why? because its named after genitalia, why not make fun of it. Oh and nintendo went as far as to say they wanted to name their next console stream, as in piss all of your money away on stupid things they make.
As for this: " (is it an "e" sound or an "i" sound?) "
I would say it with an e sound- "Veeta" -but thats just me.
And yeah, I think the fact that its weird does mean something.
Personally I would just name it: psp² - dudes would buy that.
...Posted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by Thadder
So are are saying that gamers (the hardcore kind) have to be "dudes"? And even though I'm not a fan of the 'Vita', names aren't a big deal to most of us. Really the only people who place their purchasing ethics upon what something is called are 14 year old... Wait a minute...
Really?Posted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by BlueBowser7
hahahahahaha Sj420 is such a joke! Nintendo is way more loved than any other video game company, they might have had some down falls but in the end they have always been on top, just 'cause you don't like them doesn't mean they don't cater to gamers. Maybe you think they don't cater to you because Nintendo doesn't normally cater to "loser living in mom's basement with no job" dudes. And stop insulting old people, girls, kids, and moms by calling them "inept" the only inept in this picture is yourself
sj420Posted: Jun 01, 2011 12:00AM PST by Masta_C
Dude why are all of your posts so retarded. Nintendo is the most respected game company out there. And the Wii was a success because of the Nintendo name. I guarantee that if Sony Microsoft Sega or any other company tried to be the first to market with motion controls they would have bombed. As for the gamers they are targeting I am 30 years old and a male. I have been playing since Colecovision. I own games like Snatcher on Sega CD, Suikoden 2, Panzer Dragoon 1 and 2, complete sets of the Phantasy Star games, and a copy of the original Zelda, complete with box, book, and the paper map that is very hard to find. I am hardcore. And the first system I bought in the current generation was the Wii. Now I have the 3DS, and when the project cafe comes out I will own it too. Why? Becuase in all my years of playing, Nintendo is the only company that has consistently made the best products, and I know Nintendo will stick to it laurels, making games and consoles it believes are fun, whereas the other companies will just follow whatever the new fad is and copy off of that.
Eh...Posted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by PanzerDSS
I don't like it, but then again, most game system names suck. The only genius one was the 3DS. Other than that, they all sound silly (Dreamcast, Playstation, Wii).
NahPosted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by sj420
I disagree, everyone loved the dreamcast and most still do.
Playstation sounds fine to me. Wii? That is not a name of anything, its not even a word.
Xbox - people laughed at this one for awhile until we all got use to it (and halo CE)
The only funny sounding systems were the ones that didn't make it and you no longer see.
Ngage, etc.
Duhhhh!Posted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by BlueBowser7
That was the whole point you retard!!! (sj420) Wii was not a word, that's why Nintendo named it that, because they wanted its own word that would be not only recognized instantly worldwide, but also is one of the few words that sounds the same in any language. And if playstation sounds fine to you is because you have heard it so often that it now seems normal, but when it first came out it was kind of stupid, but I guess you wouldn't know about when it first came out since you must be like 10 or 11???
Sounds fine to me.Posted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by BorinGendo
We're all going to end up calling it the PSV anyway, so what's the problem? That is IF this is the final name.
Ya know...Posted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by ricardo.sene
maybe because english is not my first language, but PS Vita doesn't sound weird to me...
nope...Posted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by ricardo.sene
I'm brazilian
HahahahahahaPosted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by BlueBowser7
The more posts I read from sj420 the more i can't stop laughing. Go read a book you ignorant bastard! Vita is definitely not Spanish, it's Italian, and what if they use a word in any other language? That doesn't mean they are discriminating, the entire world doesn't speak English only... but you'll learn that when you start having Geography classes in Middle School... loser
Call it whatever the @#$%*! you wantPosted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by pretendo

all of you are idiots.Posted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by samonvye
okay. all of you sond stupid. the console isn't even released yet and people still give everything sony does shit. you know its something called giving it a chance, who knows they might've learned and gone back to the days of the orignal playstation.
just because all of you suck microsoft's tits doesn't mean sony doesn't know how to make consoles. i agree this name sounds stupid, but its probably not the final. I, as a regular person, would reserve judgement till the console actually comes out.
i still remember when people made such a big fucking deal about the boomerang controllers so much so that sony changed it back to the old style, and then people started complainging about those as well.
MehPosted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by sj420
All consoles suck, all developers behind the consoles suck.
Everyone is an idiot.
Vita is a stupid name for anything, sounds almost like Pita which would mean " Pain in the ass" What does vita mean? Virtually in tears again? Because you just gave $ony $300 for a psp with two thumbsticks?
Maybe, maybe.
Anyhow, NGP sounded fine to me but I already forgot what it means, PSV ...sounds dumb.
I already wasn't going to buy it, but not I will make fun of it for its stupid name.
GRRR stupid typoPosted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by sj420
I already wasn't going to buy it, but now I will make fun of it for its stupid name.*
I'd waste my time lamenting about how people are stupid blah blah blah, but its just a waste of time. Thats the point, people are stupid - so what does talking to them do? Nothing.
Vita? Eh.Posted: May 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by dinomirez
I'll get it but I'm going to still call it a playstation portable, because that's precisely what it is... a portable playstation. Perhaps they are bringing new life, or vita[lity] to the system? Idk, I personally think the name is silly and I hope they get a focus group to convince them to change it something cooler or at least make more sense.
Wii was a funny choice for Nintendo to choose, but they did justify it by saying the two i's represented people and the concept of the system was to bring everyone together, hence the play on the word 'we'. So at least Nintendo had reasons for the funny name, although revolution sounded cooler and still made just much sense, it revolutionized the gaming world with motion sensing!
Wow...Posted: May 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by cameron_toste
NGP may have actually been the better choice lol.
Maybe this is why the Wii Vitality sensor has been delayed...Sony tradmarked Vita first!!
whyPosted: May 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by UltimaDestroyer
why cant they just call it psp2? ps1 ps2 ps3... seems logical no? y do they need some stupid moniker at the end...
InterestedPosted: May 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by Mr.Sauce
Dual analogs alone has this beast of a handheld as a winner for me.
MehPosted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by sj420
We wanted dual analogs back in the PSP's timeframe. Now? There isn't anything $ony could do to repair its reputation with me.
Dual analogs, pff, what, so you can halfassedly play socom on it? They don't even make any good FPS's to use the dual analogs. Hell as I recall the PS1 games were the only reason I wanted dual analogs, not even the psp games. The PSP games I did want dual sticks for were EU games that america doesn't even get (I think it was called bounty hounds or some shit)! Just forget this garbage, america doesn't get enough decent games to make use of it.
wow....Posted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by jdizz-16

Vita=VitalityPosted: May 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by Masta_C
So basically it is a dong enhancer. But when I see the handheld, my dong just fizzles because it looks like the PSP which also fizzled. I hope for the sake of my dong this system never releases.
You're thinkingPosted: May 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by Metroidvaniac
of "virility." "Vitality" just means "life," basically.

Not badPosted: May 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by Metroidvaniac
Strange, but not bad. I won't be buying one, but I'm glad they're not sticking with NGP like Nintendo wound up doing with DS.

Sony fanboysPosted: May 30, 2011 12:00AM PST by joe29671
Freaken sony fanboys. You cant even respond positivly or negatively on the name. All you fanboys can say is the Wii name sucks too. Grow the hell up. The Wii's name has nothing to do with the new name of Sony's new handheld. I swear all fanboys make gamers and themselves just look more and more like complete fools.
But,Posted: May 31, 2011 12:00AM PST by Kays Addiction
Wii is a terrible name. If i was a kid and my mother asked me "Kaylyn what are doing?" and I reply "Playing with my Wii." she'll respond "When did you have that surgery, I've never approved of it!" and then scold me and tell me I can't have cake for a month. All cause I was playing with my Wii. Rats!

Eighmy bowls record 898 series at Times-News Open
GIRARD -- It was one of the most incredible days in local bowling history at Westway Lanes on Saturday.
With 16 of the area's top bowlers competing in the first round of the finals of the 51st annual Times-News Open, scores were astronomical, six perfect games were thrown, and a long-standing local record was smashed when Lee Eighmy Jr. rolled an 898 over three games.
At the end of the day, it was five-time and defending champion Mike Shady sitting atop the standings headed into today's concluding nine games of the match-play finals at Classic Lanes.
"When I heard they were going to put out their league pattern here, I knew it was going to be a huge day for scores," said Shady, 48, who was 7-1 in match play and owns a 66-pin lead over Eighmy 2,348 to 2,282, heading into today.
"The surface at this house (Westway) is excellent, the pin carry is excellent, and then you put the 16 best bowlers in the city in the finals, and with those variables, you're going to have high scores," said Shady, who averaged 267 over the eight games, and had one of the 300s, his third in T-N Open competition.
Shady's 267 average leaves him in excellent position to eclipse his own record for highest average (251.8) in the finals, set in 2006. His lowest game on Saturday was 248.
In his fourth, fifth and sixth games, Eighmy bowled 298, 300 and 300 for a total of 898, shattering the USBC-sanctioned Erie record of 877 for a three-game series that he and Bob Learn Jr. shared, and coming within two pins of the Pennsylvania record of 900 set by Pittsburgh's Jeff Campbell in 2004.
Eighmy, a five-time champion of the T-N Open, said that he hasn't had a 300 in 21/2 years, and was nervous on the final shot in his 298 game.
"I tugged it pretty good and it went through the nose, and I left the 6-10. After that, the nerves were gone, and I got the two 300s. I'm very happy about it, and about the record," said Eighmy, who was 6-2 in match play.
About the conditions at Westway Lanes, Eighmy, 37, said, "It was definitely an easier shot today, but we all had to bowl under the same conditions, and you had to throw strikes. Whether it's a hard shot or an easy shot, the best bowlers are always going to rise to the top."
Lanes manager Tom Lytle said that the pattern that was put out on Saturday followed USBC regulations.
"It was our standard house shot," Lytle said. "The USBC regulates the minimum amount of oil you have to have in places, and we make sure we stay above it, and give our customers the best conditions we can."
Also bowling 300s were Lou LaFuria and Cory Bithell, and Ron Palombi Jr., whose 300 was his record ninth in the TN-Open. In all, there were 11 games of 290 or better.
"It's a great scoring house here, and the scores were kind of expected today," said LaFuria, 44, who was 5-3 in match play, and is in third at 2,192.
In addition to his 300, which came in the opening game, LaFuria had scores of 299 and 290.
"I was able to repeat the shots, and had the carry. I'm feeling super, and it was a ball," said LaFuria, who sprained his back just prior to the opening round of the tournament and had considered pulling out.
Palombi, at 2,127, is in fourth, 221 pins out of the lead, followed by Bithell (2,120), Tom Petroff (2,071), Lytle (2,027) and five-time champion Pat Malone (2,008).

Nokia Lumia 900 Data Network Not Connecting – New Fix In Place
Soon after the new Nokia Lumia 900 running on Windows Phone 7.5 was released, there were reports from several blogs and websites that the phone appeared to have problems connecting to the internet. While the initial reports suspected the issue to be with the Lumia hardware, the company has now confirmed that this is clearly a software issue. The hardware or the carrier network itself is not the issue.
Nokia has now announced that users facing this issue can now find a patch to the issue by plugging into Zune and downloading the latest update. You can check their complete statement here. If this seems some sort of a hassle to you, Nokia also says you can swap your Lumia 900 for a brand new phone with the updated OS at any AT&T store in your neighborhood. Check out the video below to see the steps to update the Lumia from a PC
In addition to this, all customers facing this issue are also being offered a $100 credit to their AT&T bill. This offer will also stand if you purchase a brand new Lumia 900 from the stores before April 21.

iPhone 5 Launch In July 2012?
It was originally pencilled in for the second half of 2012, but could we see the next incarnation of the iPhone as early as July?
The iPhone 5, or the "new iPhone" as it might be known, could be announced during the summer and the latest rumour surrounding the Apple device is that it could have a new kind of casing known as ultrasonic bonding. Apple has made a patent application that is dated 15 March. It makes a refinement to an older patent that dates from 2008 of the use of Ultrasonic bonding that can be seen on iPods and the metal back of the iPhone. The bonding allows designers to work with both metal and plastic. It makes devices lighter which also staying strong. The alternative is a metallic weld. Apple devotees will say ultrasonic bonding makes the device more attractive.
News of bonding is not the only report to fire up the rumour mill around the iPhone 5. More important for US users rather than UK ones but with the introduction of LTE connectivity on the new iPad, the same could well extend to the iPhone 5. Much like the reports for the new Samsung Galaxy S3 which is also expected to be unveiled later this year, the iPhone 5 could also have an edge to edge display. One of the strongest features of the iPhone 4S is that touchscreen and the resolution. The iPhone 5 would need to outstrip that and the rumour is it will have a 1280 x 720 pixel resolution with a 367ppi. Under the bonnet reports suggest the iPhone 5 could have an A6 processor and potentially a quad–core processor.
A major focus of the iPhone 4S was to improve the camera on the device. As more and more Android devices come with an 8 megapixel offer the iPhone will certainly have that or even more. Some reports have suggested a 3D camera is in the works. Another Apple patent has featured a self-timer meaning iPhone users could set a timer, set-up the camera and then snap the picture with the photographer themselves in the photo, which would be a massive draw. It's likely the device will have NFC as contactless connection and payment is the next big thing on the cards for the mobile industry. Although Apple have no confirmed when they will launch the new iPhone deals, the recent reports suggest that we might not have that long to wait.
Whatever is on the cards for the iPhone 5 one thing is certain, it's going to generate huge amounts of enthusiasm and excitement. If past Apple paths are to be followed then the device will have a fresh iPhone design and a new style of bonding perhaps making it look more like the iPod in terms of finish could be heading our way. The device will almost certainly be quicker with even faster processing speeds as Apple focusses on its iPad and iPhone and their increasing ability to work in tandem.

4 Lesser Known Ways NetSuite Can Help Optimize Your Resources
The idea for this blog post was triggered by a marketing email I received from one of my clients. After a little digging through, I realized that their email was sent from a third party email marketing service provider. I found it interesting because this client happens to use NetSuite for their ERP and CRM requirements, which has an in-built email marketing solution. As it turns out, the client had no idea NetSuite offered such a tool with CRM+. If you are using NetSuite at your workplace, here are some ways your business can save costs and increase revenues.
Subscription Management:
A study conducted by the Economist Intelligence Unit last year showed that business models among companies are rapidly evolving with a lot of businesses now integrating subscription/membership into their offerings because of the profitability. If your business has a subscription model, you do not have to build the necessary back-end infrastructure from scratch since NetSuite already has the necessary features for you to get going. With NetSuite's subscription services feature, you could track and schedule orders, monitor fulfillment and deploy a recurring billing system. Each fulfillment in a subscription is consolidated as part of a single transaction that is scheduled to dispatch periodic deliveries. If you have not given this a spin yet, it's high time you do.
Saved Searches:
This is one of the most powerful, yet overlooked, part of the ERP suite. The saved search feature is a goldmine and can be used to extract, format and customize data in a variety of ways to suit one's requirements. If your job involves preparing monthly reports and analyzing them, mastering the various provisions of the saved searches feature will save you hours of work every month; providing you with sufficient time and resource to analyze and derive more meaningful information from these reports.
Customer Data Mining:
NetSuite provides a range of options to sort and filter customer data. For instance, it is possible to filter out customers based on their acquisition channel (like phone call, website, outbound advertising, etc.), identify the behavior patterns of customers from each of these channels and make decisions based on their usage patterns. In addition to NetSuite's native solution, there are also third party add-ons you could install which will help you look at the consolidated information from your NetSuite dashboard instead of having to login separately into each of these different services.
Event Management:
A number of businesses today use webinars as a marketing tool to attract leads. If you have been working on webinars yourself, then NetSuite's event management tool should help in extensively tracking the leads generated from the event. Webinar events may also be integrated with NetSuite's eCommerce tools if you plan to launch a paid webinar event. There are a number of third party tools that can help you with this. But by using the native features available here, you can be saving on money and time by deploying right from NetSuite.
Mobile App Usage Statistics Shows App Download Numbers Don't Mean Success
There has been something of an App War in the UK. The App Store versus the Android Market, Windows Phone Marketplace. Each is turning to developers to offer more choice for consumers. As smartphones get faster, allowing a quicker transfer of data, integrating Augmented Reality along with fancy graphics we have developed a habit for downloading games, information or apps just to make our lives easier or just a little bit more fun. But how much do we really love our Apps?
New research suggests while we might rush to download the latest app and play with it for a few days, in fact our love runs cold quickly. The research focussed on users in the US. It showed that 68% of smartphone users only open five or fewer apps a week. 17% don't use any apps and under half, 42% of Americans have a device that has apps.
They are, the researchers say, merely a novelty that wears off. We delete apps we get bored with, we stop using them and if you use an operating system that shows up the apps you use most frequently, you can scroll through the screens to show the ones that have fallen out of favour. The estimate is that around 80% of apps are eventually deleted, which is why the researchers of this report say measuring downloads of apps is a bad way to measure how popular they might actually be.
The importance for apps to smartphone launches has grown as it is a good way of showcasing a devices capability. Both EA and Gameloft released new apps and games to coincide with the iPhone 4S. Siri was an app itself originally, and the developers were taken over by Apple. But while there is big demand at the launch, users tend to whittle down the apps they use regularly, until there are just a core few they use. The Nokia Lumia 800, the first to use Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, made app integration even easier by adopting social networking platform friendliness, allowing users to see Twitter and Facebook updates as though they were messages. BBM, or Blackberry Messenger is much the same, a feature that has become so integrated into device practice that it is a social networking platform in its own right.
For app developers though, it is not great news. Apps do not make firms a huge amount of money, no matter how much of a push they might get on the AppStore. One UK based developer created a wide range of apps but still saw that arm of their business operate at a loss. A good profile raiser, but not a sound business model.
But is it so bad that we use and lose apps? One of the best things about our smartphones is the ability to mould them and personalise them. Keeping it fresh with new apps makes it easier for us to explore new games and new places. We might get excited about a tourism app while in a new city, but never use it again when we get home, but instead of seeing apps as a long term download, should we just see them as a short term fancy, a fling rather than a marriage? With so many millions of apps to choose from it would be impossible for anyone who sample even half over the course of a smartphone's lifetime. More choice makes it easier for us to pick and choose, as difficult as that may before developers who want us to keep hold of them forever.
How Big Is Wikipedia?
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia, has had a phenomenal few years. It is by far the world's most popular online encyclopedia. Protecting an online profile is vital to any website such as Wikipedia, because its loyal fan base may abandon it in droves if it is seen to make any major mistakes, either with its content or its technology.
Most of the bad press Wikipedia has received has been on account of the negative perception of its 'freely sourced' content, and the fact that anybody can add or edit articles, with only the most basic monitoring of uploaded content in operation. Editing poor content on Wikipedia is largely the job of its large online community, many members of which spend their days trawling its content to find errors, and correcting them. The bias of some articles has led to some negative media coverage and criticism of Wikipedia, with some claiming the structure of Wikipedia allows some subjects to be biased to the extent of being inaccurate, or not accurately or comprehensively sourcing information and images. In light of this, many colleges and universities have banned the use of Wikipedia in any academic function except casual reading.
Freedom of Knowledge
Nonetheless, Wikipedia generally has good press at is is seen as being part of a movement to 'democratize' information, making it free and available to all. Wikipedia recently came out in ardent opposition to recent American anti – piracy laws, and effected a 'blackout' of its English pages for a 24 hour period. Many came out in support of Wikipedia's 'blackout' strategy. Wikipedia's growth over the years can be best shown in the form of statistics and graphs:
Current article count (English): 3,860,798+
Estimated number of words (English): 2,100,000,000+
This graph shows the general increase in the number of articles on the English Wikipedia over the years 2001 – '12.
This is a visual representation of Wikipedia's size, if its english articles were compiled into a physical collection. The size of this collection would, by now, be far too big for anybody to read in a lifetime.

It's a fact that the smartphone industry is slowing, but it's also a fact that it still offers staggering growth and results that continue to surprise to the upside.
The industry could sell some 886 million smartphones this year, nearly half of all mobile phones, up 31% from last year's total, according to analysts. That's 2½ times the total of personal computers that were sold in 2012.
As the industry hurtles this week toward its big annual shindig, the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, remember that it is still very young and very much in the throes of remarkable change.
For the moment, that probably bodes well for the dominant vendors, Samsung Electronics (ticker: 005930.Korea), which had 29% of smartphone unit sales worldwide in the fourth quarter, and Apple aapl -1.666375850636887% Apple Inc.

It also bodes well for Qualcomm qcom -1.2122166246851385% Qualcomm Inc. U.S.: Nasdaq USD62.75 -0.77 -1.2122166246851385% /Date(1474664400193-0500)/ Volume (Delayed 15m) : 7701328 AFTER HOURS USD62.6 -0.15 -0.23904382470119523% Volume (Delayed 15m) : 93394 P/E Ratio 18.37750768780202 Market Cap 92471408813.4766 Dividend Yield 3.3784860557768925% Rev. per Employee 691697 More quote details and news » (QCOM), the dominant supplier of the baseband wireless chips that drive cellular connections.
Indeed, worldwide smartphone sales rose an impressive 43% last year, although that was down from 58% in 2011 and 72% in 2010, the year that they really took off, following increases of just 24% in 2009 and 14% in 2008, according to research firm Gartner.
But while the industry is maturing, it still can produce unexpected upside. Last year's smartphone total of 700 million was about 10 million more than had been predicted going into 2012, says Neil Mawston, a director of research for Strategy Analytics.
As another example, Qualcomm at the end of January, said its estimate for all the handsets sold last year that came with the more advanced "3G" or "4G" wireless connections was 928 million.
That is 30 million units higher than what Qualcomm had projected for 2012 in November 2011.
The slowing growth, as well as the upside, are consequences of dynamic shifts in technology that either drive sales or constrain them. Smartphones existed before 2010, but they didn't go mainstream until more individuals in developed markets were able to use the Internet at faster 3G speeds, transforming the devices into viable pocket computers for the first time.
WHERE DOES GROWTH come from now? People may be prompted to trade up from their current smartphone to one that can take advantage of the next big thing after 3G—long-term evolution, or LTE.

So far, it seems, individuals don't understand, or don't care, about LTE. A recent note by Jefferies & Co.'s Peter Misek related results of a survey of wireless operators that showed less than half of mobile subscribers expressed interest in LTE.
It may be as simple as technology savvy trickling down to less astute buyers, opines Mawston. "For younger and richer consumers, and those more tech-aware, they know they want LTE," he says. "Those who are older, who have less disposable income, and who are less savvy look primarily to prices" of smartphones.
Nevertheless, Mawston remains confident that LTE will ultimately lure buyers, and that subscribers in emerging markets will be drawn from older 2G cellphones to 3G phones. And next year? "In developed markets, you'll see people trading up to LTE-Advanced," the next bump up in LTE, "while people who've been on 3G will move to LTE."
And so it goes: The industry continues to evolve from what was originally a calling device into a faster, pocketable computing device.
As Susquehanna Financial Group chip analyst Christopher Caso put it in a note to clients last week: "As long as phone OEMs [original equipment manufacturers] continue to introduce new innovations, they are going to convince consumers to upgrade their phones. Until the capabilities of smartphones and PCs converge—and there is still a long way to go—we don't think we will hit a plateau."
Caso sees that as a vote for Qualcomm, pointing out that there are four billion phone users around the world who don't currently use a 3G or 4G phone. In other words, their phones generated no royalty payment to Qualcomm, which is compensated for its industry patents, even when it doesn't sell the chips themselves.

For everyone else in the industry, it's a question of dealing with the stranglehold on revenue and profit that Samsung and Apple hold.
A recent note to clients from Raymond James analyst Tavis McCourt outlines the haves and have-nots in the mobile industry. Apple, notes McCourt, had 13% of the unit sales of mobile phones and tablets combined in the fourth quarter of last year, but it made 40% of the mobile industry's revenue and 75% of its profit. Samsung had 30% of the industry's revenue, and 26% of its profits.

The swing factor for Apple and Samsung is the rise of Chinese makers, such as Lenovo (992.Hong Kong), ZTE (000063.China) and Huawei, which are second, fourth and fifth behind Samsung in China, the world's largest mobile-phone market, according to Mawston. (Nokia has managed to hold on to third place.)
China-based vendors had 65% of the country's phone sales in 2012, in part because the local retailers and distributors have made an effort to sell Chinese, rather than outside, brands. Apple is in sixth place in China, with just a 7% share of the mobile-phone market, despite rapid growth there. That puts it barely ahead of seventh-place Coolpad, a Chinese firm that you've doubtless never heard of.
As Huawei and the rest try to go international, they are producing the most interesting challenge to the smartphone duopoly. "The [mobile] market always goes in cycles, and Samsung and Apple are having their heyday," says Mawston. "Eventually, they'll be replaced," he adds, as Motorola and Nokia were. "But probably not for a couple more years."

The Politics of African Contemporary Art
Call for Papers Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
Recent approaches to African contemporary art often celebrate the advent of a global contemporary art scene in which they see an abolition of the provincialist and historicist concepts that were imposed by the West during the colonial period. One assumes that by taking part in new and post-historical/ post-national networks of exchange, facilitated by large-scale international exhibitions, biennials and fairs, artists can express themselves more truly as they are no longer doomed to wrestle with the notions of the pre-colonial/ colonial; to be measured against Western art-historical paradigms, or to be defined via enduring fictions about their own parochialism.
This issue of Seismopolite aims to assess the validity of this perspective and to further inquire into the possibilities and limitations pertaining to the global contemporary art scene in terms of addressing political issues in, and rewriting the history and future of African societies (as well as African art history) in a consequential way through art.
In particular we wish to shed a critical light on how the contemporary art economy influences the political agency and interaction of artistic expression in African societies, and reversely, how African art, although it may be free to address political issues, can retain or represent such a political agency once it has become part of the global contemporary.
Contributors from diverse disciplinary backgrounds are invited to submit essays, exhibition reviews or interviews that address the theme "The politics of African contemporary art" through a high variety of possible angles.
Topics may include, but are not restricted to:
- The role of art and artists in the rewriting of (art) history and political geography.
- The development of international contemporary art venues/ festivals/ biennials in African countries, and their impact on the societal function and meaning of art in these contexts.
- The agency and potential of art to stimulate new future trajectories in precarious socio-political situations.
- Political activism and post-colonial consciousness in art and art communities under colonial rule.
- The relationship between cultural politics/ geopolitics and international contemporary art venues/ festivals/ biennials in African countries.
- Changes to the role and the economy of the artist in African societies.
- Processes of translation in the global mediation of African contemporary art.
- Aesthetics and politics of art in 'African diaspora'.

Permit me to establish some general, life-experience-style benchmarks for our current domestic economy. This morning, I went out to fill up the gas tank of the car, and treat my kids to some fast-food breakfast. Nothing fancy: the car does not take premium gasoline, and we're talking breakfast sandwiches and a hotcakes and sausage level of drive-through. Here are the receipts.
Back in 2007 - before we got saddled with a Democratic Congress that decided to start racking up the bills on everything in sight - that would have cost me $37.08. And I can back up the numbers reasonably well:
- Gas is easy; on January 08, 2007 the average price per gallon was $2.258*. I put in 13.292 gallons of gas into the car: that works out to $30.01. The cost this morning was $53.15 (77% increase).
- Tracking breakfast inflation is a little bit harder; fortunately, there's something called the Big Mac Index, which tracks international prices of Big Macs in an attempt to get an idea of relative purchasing power of various currencies. But never mind that: the point is that the average price of an American Big Mac in 2007 was $3.22, and is $3.80 in 2011; at this level of analysis it seems more or less reasonable to assume that the 18% increase in four years is reflected across the menu. So that $8.34 meal in 2011 probably would have cost me about $7.07 in 2007 (which looks about right).
To put this in even more basic terms: it costs me 60% more to fill up my tank and get 'cheap' fast food today than it did before the Democrats took control of Congress. And if you're wondering why if inflation is this bad, then it's not being trumpeted across the sky in letters of fire, it's because 'core inflation' - inflation that does not take into account food and energy prices - isn't increasing as drastically. Which is... great, except that the problem is that food and energy prices are skyrocketing.
So, of course, the White House wants to slap on another tax of your gasoline usage - by the mile. And with tracking devices added to your car so they can make sure that you're paying the tax. Because the urban academic elitist in the Oval Office right now hasn't pumped his own gas, taken his own kids to the drive-through, or even probably done his own shopping for years now.
Moe Lane (crosspost)
*If you really want to depress yourself, go look up all the articles from 2007 freaking out about $3.00/gallon gas. Amazing what you can get used to, huh?

The North Texas Area United Way – like United Ways across the country – is committed to more than just supporting programs that serve identified needs in the community.
The mission of the United Way is to improve lives by mobilizing the caring power of community. And to Live United means mobilizing that power to support and, where necessary, develop programs that also address the underlying causes of the community's needs, with the long-term goal of ending those needs.
Which is why Living United means more than just financially supporting a childcare program. It's also introducing curricula to that program that help prepare children to become lifelong learners. It's informing the parents of those children about available tax credits and career development opportunities that can improve their financial stability. And it's ensuring that all the family members are informed about quality, affordable health services in their community.
Education. Income. Health. These are the pillars upon which strong lives are built. And if any of these pillars become weak or unstable, it's difficult – if not impossible – to move ahead in life. To Live United is to create opportunities for all persons to achieve strength and stability in their Education, Income, and Health.
This comprehensive philosophy of problem-solving is an improvement upon earlier approaches that sought only to fund familiar programs year after year. The modern United Way approach is built around a constant – and comprehensive – analysis of the community and the forces at work in it.
There is one thing about the modern United Way that remains constant: We Can't Do It Without You.
It takes an enormous amount of talent, resources and manpower to assess community needs, prescribe solutions, evaluate and develop worthy programs, spread the word throughout the community about the importance of these programs – and then, finally, raise the funds necessary to put them into motion, and spread the word.
That's what it means to LIVE UNITED.
Our Mission
To improve the quality of lives in our communities through Education, Income and Health.
Our Goals
In 2008, United Way World Wide initiated a 10-year program designed to achieve the following goals by 2018:
- Improve education, and cut the number of high school dropouts — 1.2 million students, every year — in half.
- Help people achieve financial stability, and get 1.9 million working families — half the number of lower-income families who are financially unstable — on the road to economic independence.
- Promote healthy lives, and increase by one-third the number of youth and adults who are healthy and avoid risky behaviors.
These goals are ambitious, but with your help, and by utilizing our core strengths — a national network, committed partners and public engagement capacity — we can achieve them.

Atlas on Helping Alexander Povetkin's Career Develop
By Ruslan Chikov
Teddy Atlas, who trains the new WBA "regular" heavyweight champion Alexander Povetkin, discussed the future development of his fighter with veteran reporter Alexander Pavlov. Atlas was candid with his comments pertaining to a possible Povetkin vs. Wladimir Klitschko showdown and gave his thoughts on Povetkin's recent title win over former champion Ruslan Chagaev.
- Why do you feel nervous when it comes to a possible fight between Klitschko and Alexander?
- I think this is an incorrect assessment. Right now, it's not the time or place for all of these questions about Klitschko. Alexander won the title. Give him a chance to defend it, enhance, and establish himself as a champion. He's barely grown. Let him gain experience and then he could fight Klitschko.
- Who could be the next opponent for Alexander?
- I don't know. Sasha should evolve to become more famous. Although he is an Olympic champion, a lot of people don't knw him. In order to get known, he needs to make a few title defenses. Look, against whom did Klitschko spend his time defending against? Who were his opponents in the majority of the fifty battles? Did you forget Wladimir was knocked out a few times? But he gained experience, he grew and gained confidence. That's all I want right now - the proper development of my boxers. A meeting with Klitschko is possible after a few fights.
- At what point in the fight with Chagaev became the most stressful for you?
- The sixth round. I really didn't like it. We don't need this kind of situtation [in a fight]. But when you go for a world title, you should expect that these kind of moments can occur. I gave Alexander advance warning: 'We are going to win the title, but in this fight there could be some unpleasant moments. We are going to overcome them, and you'll be heavyweight champion.'

RENO, Nev. (AP) - A gold-drenched 40-mile swath of Nevada has produced more riches in the past four decades than all but two other mining regions in the world.
Last week one of the mines on the Carlin Trend poured the 50 millionth troy ounce mined since 1962.
The total would melt down into a 14.2-foot-square cube weighing 1,714 tons and worth $20 billion in today's dollars, according to John Dobra, an associate professor of economics at the University of Nevada, Reno, and director of the school's Natural Resource Industry Institute.
"This reinforces Nevada as one of the top gold producing regions worldwide," said Russ Fields, president of the Nevada Mining Association.
Only South Africa's Witwaterstrand and Uzbekistan's Muruntau have equaled Nevada in reaching the 50 million-ounce plateau.
The mining association observes the milestone Wednesday by presenting Gov. Kenny Guinn with a commemorative 1-ounce gold coin when the governor proclaims Nevada Mining Week at a ceremony in Elko.
This year's observation of the state's No. 2 industry, behind tourism, comes as miners enjoy a rebound in gold prices.
After falling as low as $253 an ounce in the summer of 1999, when some Nevada mines were forced to cut operations and employees, gold is trading now at around $300 an ounce. It averaged $271 an ounce last year.
"Six years ago we would not have been delighted with $300 an ounce, but the mining companies have done so much to improve their efficiency that $300 is very livable," Fields said.
In September 1996, with gold at $380 per ounce, nearly 13,400 people held mining jobs in Nevada. The figure stood at just above 10,000 last month, according to the Nevada Employment Security Division.
Nevada is the No. 3 gold producer in the world, behind South Africa and Australia, with half of its output coming from the estimated 20 mines along the Carlin Trend west of Elko.

Apple has today begun selling the iPhone 5s unlocked and SIM-free to customers in the United States. Customers can stick in any GSM SIM card (so that's one from AT&T or T-Mobile) when they receive the device and begin using it immediately with their existing plan — but they'll have to wait 1-2 weeks for it to ship.
Apple Asks ITC To Postpone Import Ban On iPhone 4 & iPad 2
Apple has asked the International Trade Commission to postpone an import ban on the iPhone 4 and the iPad 2 while a court considers its appeal. The ban is set to go into affect on August 5 — just under four weeks away — but Apple has argued that it will "sweep away an entire segment of Apple's product offerings" and harm iPhone carrier partners.
The Smartwatch Race Heats Up Before It's Even Started As LG Enters The Fray
LG will compete with Apple, Google, and Samsung with a smartwatch of its own that is expected to run Google's Android operating system. The company is also said to be working on another wearable computing device that will reportedly rival Google Glass.
Verizon iPhone 5 Comes Unlocked Out Of The Box, Works On GSM Carriers Like AT&T
It's been confirmed that Verizon is actually selling the iPhone 5 factory unlocked out of the box, and you can pop in another SIM card to use the device on even a GSM network like AT&T. Jeff Benjamin of iDownloadBlog has already tried inserting an AT&T SIM card into his CDMA Verizon iPhone 5, and it worked!
The iPhone 5 Has Separate GSM and CDMA Versions, So Prepare To Stay Loyal To Your Carrier
One of the best things about the iPhone 4S was that it rolled GSM and CDMA into the same baseband. What that means is if you have, say, an AT&T iPhone, it could technically run on Verizon as long as you unlocked it. Likewise, if you had a Verizon iPhone, you could just slap in a GSM pay-as-you-go SIM card if you were traveling in any other country in the world to avoid exorbitant international roaming fees.
With the iPhone 5, though, things are changing. There will be two versions of the iPhone 5, a separate device for both GSM and CDMA carriers. Why? Seems to all be about LTE.

Beating Hearts: Stories of Domestic Violence
October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month, and Jewish Women International is posting daily stories of domestic abuse on their blog. These stories are shocking, crushing, and sad. They are also inspiring and thoughtful, with lessons about courage and love.
The following post is cross-posted from the JWI blog. It is taken from "Beating Hearts: Stories of Domestic Violence" an exhibit of photographic constructions with accompanying text by Kate Sartor Hilburn and Terrie Queen Autrey. This particular story is important because it reminds us that domestic abuse reaches far beyond violence. Abuse is about control, and often involves restriction, isolation, or even imprisonment.
Roman Polanski and Jewish "anti-heroes"
I am fascinated, as well as outraged, by the Roman Polanski rape story. As all high profile media stories do, this case has evolved and mutated to touch on a number of really interesting and really important topics, primarily about rape culture and the culture of fame.
Last week celebrated filmmaker Roman Polanski was arrested at a film festival in Switzerland for the 1977 rape of a 13 year-old girl. Polanski admitted to drugging the girl and having intercourse with her, which is rape by any stretch of the imagination, not to mention pedophilia. Take a look at Feministing's roundup for more background information.
Women's jeans, Jewish comedians "Making Trouble," and revisiting Anne Frank - Link Roundup Oct 5, 2009

Sages and sex therapists - Dr. Ruth's "Heavenly Sex"
Last Thursday I went to see pioneering sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer talk about her book Heavenly Sex: Sexuality in the Jewish Tradition at Temple Israel in Boston, a program by the New Center for Arts and Culture. This was my first time seeing the legendary Dr. Ruth in person, and as predicted, I was in awe of this teeny-tiny bubbe and her stylish glasses. I was excited to be there with my friends from the Jewish Women's Archive, community partner of the NCAC for this event.
Remembering Ruth F. Brin
Ruth F. Brin, esteemed Jewish author, poet, and scholar, died Wednesday September 30th, 2009, at age 88.
Ruth F. Brin was a literary pioneer famous for her authentic Jewish poetry, prayer services, scholarly articles, children's books, librettos, a memoir, and most recently, at the age of 86, her first novel.
She was born in Saint Paul, Minnesota, and lived in Minneapolis until her death, at the age of 88, on Wednesday, September 30th. However, her poetry and teachings have moved beyond the Twin Cities, filling the pages of Reconstructionist, Reform and Conservative prayer books used in synagogues around the country.
Electricity applied in a "strictly scientific manner"
I recently began a fun Twitter project, tweeting tidbits from American Jewess, the first English-language publication directed to American Jewish women (and this blog's namesake), edited by the original Jewess, Rosa Sonneschein. Today I came across this ad from the October 1895 issue, and almost fell out of my chair.
Are Jews easier to get along with?
At the Jewish Women's Archive, it is part of my job to stay on top of the "twitterverse." I keep a running search of "tweets" that mention Jewish women, which helps me stay on top of the various conversations, as well as a few discriminatory remarks (anti-Semitism isn't dead!). And that is how I discovered this tweet: "When we claim Jewish women are easier to get along with than Christians, you don't blame us, you blame Jesus. http://bit.ly/1RmiT" This quote has been tweeted and retweeted enough times to finally make me click on the shortened link to see what everyone was talking about.
The symbols we use to represent, and gender, Jewish women
Yesterday in Tablet magazine, Ruth Ellen Gruber* wrote about her trip to an old Jewish cemetery in Romania to look at the way images of shabbat candles are used on women's gravestones to convey meaning and memory. Gruber's project, (Candle)sticks on Stone, is time sensitive, as many of these gravestones are crumbling into obscurity, but, she writes, "those that remain comprise wonderful examples of vivid local stone-carving that fuse local folk art and Jewish iconography." Gruber is interested in presenting these carvings as works of art, but she does acknowledge the depth and complexity these carvings carry concerning the intersection of symbolism, Jewish tradition, and gender roles.
Women's health is not elective
We are in big trouble. When I started reading about the healthcare reform battle, I was angry. Now that the Senate panel has rejected the public option, and Obama has declined to stand up for reproductive rights, I am getting scared. The more I read, the more I started to realize that there is a larger problem underlying this debate. There is something fundamentally wrong with the way people think about women's bodies and the healthcare they require. While reproductive healthcare is absolutely critical to the general health of every woman, every family and every community, it is considered separately, almost as if it were elective, in the greater discussion of healthcare reform.

For Convert and Mother-to-Be, Bris Is Ultimate Measure of Commitment
How do you measure commitment? That's the question I was left pondering after reading Elana Sztokman's post on the double standard for Orthodox women. Some women's tardiness for services has become a justification for shutting out the entire gender from a whole host of responsibilities, as late arrival to shul apparently signifies a lack of spiritual commitment.
Including young Jews in old systems
Yesterday, JTA published, "Where the Blogosphere Meets the Boardroom," an op-ed co-authored by Jordan Namerow, a long-time writer for Jewesses with Attitude and my predecessor at the Jewish Women's Archive. This op-ed encourages the Federation to engage with the younger members of the Jewish community, many of whom are unaware of the Federation system. It gives suggestions for ways to bring young Jews into the fold, arguing, "Without including younger voices, Federation risks its own survival."
Get Well Soon, Ruth Bader Ginsburg!
I woke up to the news this morning that Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the first Jewish woman to become a Supreme Court Justice, had been hospitalized as a precaution, after being treated for an iron deficiency.
Jewish women on happiness
Writing that last post on the General Social Survey about women's unhappiness has really got me thinking about happiness and how to define happiness. In my post, I shared a quote from Nora Ephron in which she explains that in different eras, happiness could be defined as "a puppy," "a dry martini," or "knowing what your uterus looks like." What would happiness be defined as today? A smart phone?
Blaming the Feminist Revolution for women's supposed 'unhappiness'
The results of a General Social Survey, which has been tracking American's happiness since 1972, have surprised and confused us with their finding that women are growing increasingly unhappy over time.

The "fury of the kooky, odd-looking girl"
On Saturday, 67 year-old Barbra Streisand will return to the Vanguard - the venue that made her a star. According to this piece in the New York Times Magazine, the concert will feature 13 songs (whose "average year of composition is 1963") to promote her album Love Is the Answer.
Healthcare reform is a women's issue
Last Friday, Michelle Obama spoke to leaders of several women's groups arguing that "overhauling the nation's health care system was of critical importance to women and part of 'the next step' in their long quest to assure full opportunity and equality." With healthcare reform at the forefront, it is becoming more and more obvious that the status quo is sexist, unfair, and often dangerous for women. For the first time in a long time, I am getting angry.
Wolf, Chesler Weigh In on the Hijab — and Each Other
Naomi Wolf — the feminist Jewish author of the bestselling landmark book, "The Beauty Myth," which brazenly exposes how the multi-billion dollar beauty industry manipulates women's entire sense of self — is gorgeous. For two decades now, the brilliant and outspoken Wolf has decried cosmetics, plastic-surgery and hair removal businesses while appearing, let's just say, well made-up.
Apples, honey, cake and ...stew? A High Holidays festive food link roundup
The Jewish holidays are divided (in my mind) into "food holidays" and "not food holidays." The High Holy Days are the ultimate expression of this dichotomy. On Rosh Hashana, we delight in foods that are sweet to ring in the New Year, and on Yom Kippur, we fast.
Mazel tov, Chai Feldblum
On Monday, President Obama announced his nomination for Commissioner of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and I couldn't be happier about his pick: Chai Feldblum, Professor of Law at Georgetown, who also happens to be an out Jewish lesbian.
The all-singing, all-dancing, Jewish girl on Glee
I have fallen head-over-heels in love with the new Fox series Glee. Often called the "anti-High School Musical," Glee is a series about a group of high school misfits who find their place in the unpopular Glee Club, featuring Rachel Berry -- a Jewish girl -- as the lead female character. The show uses all the usual high school stereotypes (cheerleaders, jocks, freaks, geeks, etc.), to create a deliciously witty and hilarious satire. The students of the Glee Club represent the standard marginalized groups you would find in a high school and it is led by, you guessed it, the strong-willed Jewish girl.
"Only in America" poll results
The results are in from the National Museum of American Jewish History's poll to select the 18 individuals to be featured in their "Only in America" Hall of Fame. The results are not too surprising.
The Rosh Hashana link feast
This week is flying by and Rosh Hashana is almost upon us. If you have been as busy as we have this past week at the Jewish Women's Archive, the holiday comes as a welcome respite. I have rounded up a "menu" of High Holiday links, some silly and some serious, to help ease us into the holiday season. Enjoy!
What Patrick Swayze (z"l) did for Jewish women
I heard the news about Patrick Swayze's death when I logged on to Facebook last night and saw numerous status updaes about dancing the merenge and not putting Baby in the corner. Swayze's death is not just sad (he was only 57); for Jewish girls of my generation, it's the end of era.

this sounds a bit like jackal. it's a good game even though the bad guys look like they're shooting marshmallows at you...
Back when I was just a little kid, me and a neighbor would spend hours playing this one game on his NES. I forget the name, but the gameplay was something like this:
The camera view was above the map, looking down on everything, and you could play Co-Op, where me and my friend would walk through the map together. I'm pretty sure the map only moved upwards, so you'd get into one of the parts and have to kill off a helicopter or something, and then you'd move on to the next level.
I'm just wondering if anyone knows what the game might have been called. If you don't understand what I meant just say something, and I'll try to explain it another way.

Eh, it does sound like that, but judging by the screenshot, I don't think it is. The characters were a little bigger, as my memory serves me.
Bubble Bobble maybe? Lol
Waited 13 hours, but I got my Wii!

It was a Rambo/war-type game, but I don't think we used the joysticks. Pretty sure we played on the original NES controller.

A busy Honolua Bay. Surfers make me swoon (yes, I'm married to one!)
Here's a fun little trip to take with the kids in West Maui. If you've been to West Maui but have stopped at Kaanapali or Kahana, you need to keep going!
I talk with a lot of people who say "Oh, I never went past Lahaina or Kaanapali" on their visit to Maui. Well, next time you are here, get in your car, pop on some music and drive further north, past Kaanapali, past Kahana, past Napili and even past Kapalua…to Honolua Bay.
Be mindful
Honolua Bay isn't over run with tourist so I sort of wince when I see my fingers typing that you all should go. But I trust that you guys are good tourists, and lovers of Maui, so you will be responsible, kind and respectful no matter where you go, right?
Bottom line, be cool when you visit Maui or Hawaii. This place is sacred. {click to tweet!}
Let's get you there
Once in West Maui, head north on Highway 30. Once past Kapalua, you'll see that the speed limit dwindles down to about 25 and signs saying "Be pono" or respectful will pop up. A few curves past Fleming Beach, you'll come upon to a look out over Honolua Bay.
In the winter the swell picks up and surfers crowd the water. This is a great spot to watch them, take a photo, and take in all the beauty. Across the bay you'll be sure to see a lot of local cars parked (those are the surfers that are in the water). I'd leave that spot to only the locals, no need to go on the dirt road and clog it up.
After you've taken a photo, taken in all the beauty, you can head a bit further North to actually go to the water in the bay. Again, be mindful and respectful. You'll see signs that say this too. There is a small area where people park. Be sure to not leave valuables in your car, don't park like a jerk (blocking anyone or taking up too much room), roll up the windows, lock your car and then head through the overgrown trees to the bay.
Looking up at the gorgeous overgrown trees. Dragon Fruit has taken over and is growing from up above on this one.
As you walk, you will pass where an old church once stood, old Hawaiian rock walls and grave sites. Roosters will cocka-doodle-doo to you as they welcome you through the forest and then you will see the magnificent, gorgeous blue sea. The beach here isn't sandy; it's covered in rocks with overhanging trees for shade.
The welcome committee
Now, when I recently went here with my son for an after school mini walk as we waited for his sister to do gymnastics, we saw a local man and his family having some food amidst the many roosters that were there.
I immediately waved, said hello and smiled – the sort of smile you do when you are saying "thank you for letting me into your home" He smiled back. I knew to be respectful, say aloha, say thank you with my eyes and smile. We took a few photos, checked out the surf and then returned back to our car.
Leave with what you brought in
Do not leave trash. Do not use sunscreen when in the water (so that you don't kill the precious treasures in the sea). Be respectful, not loud and boisterous. Remember, this land is someone's land. It's not ours. You are entering someone's home; think of it that way.
If you can't tell, Honolua Bay is a very special place. Locals, visitors, kamaaina alike all want it to stay that way. So go see it, love it and respect it! Have fun!
