In the latest BlackBerry 10 Dev Alpha OS update, some sleuthing found a few hidden gems burried in the OS. When diving into the embeded icons, BBVietnam came across the icon set for the device that included not only Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, but also Skype. Yes, that Skype. Now we can't say for sure what this means (if anything) but it is a good sign. We've had no official word on either side as to if Skype will be available for BlackBerry 10 at all, but the icons do get us a bit curious regardless.
Things like this have been spotted before in early versions of an OS, so there's no saying if we'll see them in there at launch or what their purpose even is at this point. We can cross our fingers and hope for the best as we've done all along. January 30th will be a big day and we'll certainly find out all we can at the big media event.

i wonder if someone can confirm this and that someone just didnt photoshop them in.
oh and first!
Easy-G Jan 15, 2013 at 10:36 am
I'm going to guess, with a dash of hope, that it is not Photoshopped, unless the Photoshopper went through the trouble of arranging all the icons, including the Skype icons, in alphabetical order lol
megajo123 Jan 15, 2013 at 12:22 pm
Im not to good with photoshop, but I agree.

JackKennedy Jan 16, 2013 at 1:00 am
no whatsapp :(
sj10689 Jan 15, 2013 at 6:35 pm
I don't think it's photoshopped - people are going to find out eventually if BB 10 has Skype or not. Also, I just received an email from Windows Messenger saying that Messenger will be "retired" for Skype. The older BB phones had Windows Messenger, so there's no reason why BB 10 shouldn't follow suit with Skype (which I presume would've happened, regardless).
Also, I assume that Skype is available for Android devices, and considering that Android apps were made accessible to the PlayBook, since the BB 10 infrastructure also runs on QNX, there's no reason why BB 10 shouldn't have Skype. The front-facing camera should definitely be a heads-up, as well. Skype is definitely in demand, and RIM would have to be crazy not to want Skype to run on BB 10 phones. The absence of such could be a dealbreaker for some.
ddlax22 Jan 15, 2013 at 11:26 pm
Again, its not up to RIM. Its all on micro$oft..and we don't think they will but you never know. There are alternatives to skype. But also, it does not work on the playbook, so it will not(presumably) on BB10 either.
sj10689 Jan 15, 2013 at 11:55 pm
On that account, I hope BlackBerry Video chat proves to be a big hit; also, it would be major plus if BlackBerry Video chat could be used to somehow chat face-to-face with someone who happens to be using Skype, but that's probably out of the realm of possibility.
But this is just a minor bump in the road, in my opinion. The very things BB 10 should do well ought to make Skype functionality a minimal factor in deciding whether to purchase a BB 10 or not.
whitbags Jan 15, 2013 at 10:45 am
Well, if nothing else it certainly is exciting to see.
Dave79 Jan 15, 2013 at 10:58 am
I dont think it's photoshop'ed who would waste time like that. Then again it doesnt mean there will be a skype app available.
Skype is a make it or break it deal for many people the fact that microsoft is closing down messenger to move IM to skype give me some hopes though.
Smiley88 Jan 15, 2013 at 10:39 am
That doesn't mean anything.
Toodeurep Jan 15, 2013 at 10:41 am
Probably just contact info picture.
randall2580 Jan 15, 2013 at 11:26 am
+1 agreed.
koolrosh Jan 15, 2013 at 12:37 pm
Yup. These icons appear with a group of icons that appear on your contact info. Probably just a the icon for the field to enter a skype ID.
pepe241185 Jan 15, 2013 at 2:19 pm
so why have a field for a Skype ID if you won't be able to contact them on Skype? See what i'm saying? I think we might see some deeper integration of Skype than just the app.
ThaMunsta Jan 15, 2013 at 4:56 pm
If you check out BBVietnam's post on it they also pulled out some code that apparently says item.isSkypeInstalled ?
Looks to be an install icon if it actually is real... Agreed though, still doesn't mean anything. Hopefully it will come later if it isn't there at launch. I think I'm allowed to be hopeful though ;) #BB10Believe!

Schmurf Jan 15, 2013 at 3:08 pm
Agree, Skype is nowhere near a breaker for me. I couldn't care less if it was there or not.
Alex_Hong Jan 15, 2013 at 10:44 am
Actually i think skype will be on board sooner or later, since that MS is retiring Windows Messenger. So i'm really not surprised to see this. Perhaps it might be sooner than later.
IslandGuy Jan 15, 2013 at 1:47 pm
I couldn't agree with you more. MS would be shooting themselves in the foot if they ignore Blackberry in their migration from IM to Skype.
sj10689 Jan 15, 2013 at 6:40 pm
Absolutely; as mentioned in my comment above, RIM has no reason not to want Skype on their BB 10 devices - along with a front-facing camera, this is just one more reason to expect Skype to be present in BB 10's BlackBerry (App) World.
Nefiasm Jan 15, 2013 at 10:45 am
These look like contact icons, I am sure I have seen the contact area with a Skype icon greyed out, this does not indicate an app for BB10 - please keep that in mind.
bmantz65 Jan 15, 2013 at 10:56 am
Hmm, the greyed out icon is titled 'ca_skype_read.png' so that icon is for a read Skype message. So could we see Skype messages in The Hub and that means Skype integration is built in? At least the text chat method maybe..? But if they would do that, why not do the video chat portion as well..
supraking Jan 15, 2013 at 11:31 am
Excellent point. If this was just for a field in the Address Book, we wouldn't see the second icon. Fingers crossed!
ryanlrobinson Jan 15, 2013 at 10:57 am
Skype is the one product feature that I think has the most potential to make or break BlackBerry 10 (the biggest overall factor I think is marketing rather than product at all).
Rootbrian Jan 15, 2013 at 3:27 pm
BlackBerry Messenger Video Chat will be much much better than skype. At least it's native AND it's blackberry to blackberry communication, as what other clients do.
primusd Jan 15, 2013 at 10:57 am
Agreed, these don't convince me there will be a Skype app per se, but might point to some kind of Skype integration (it could be as meaningless as a field in the contact list, but ideally some ability for BBM Video to interface with Skype... something which had been floated a while back). In a similar vein, isn't the word on the street that el Goog will not be supporting BB10 with apps, but there's still a Gmail icon??
Gmail can be integrated into the hub as noted in several videos (see today's other postings). In terms of other services, there is just a bucket of 3rd party Apps (at least on playbook) that integrates Google Maps and cloud services. I don't any big issue here.
In the end, it is in Google's best interest to support BB as it is MS. It is all about the battle of the eye balls in pursuit of advertising revenue. You decrease your audience, you decrease your revenues. It is already weighing on the minds of Google Executives who are starting to see ad revenues shrink due to competition.
bmantz65 Jan 15, 2013 at 11:27 am
I think there will be integration with the OS and not just an icon to use with a contact. I am thinking that because there is an 'unread' and 'read' style of Skype icon in that list. Just like with the Twitter and Facebook icons in that list. So there might not be a standalone Skype app, but it would baked in and the OS will tell if you are getting a BBM Video Call or Skype call perhaps?
MoolahMitch Jan 15, 2013 at 11:58 am
This was rumored in the forums early last year as to how Skype would be in BB10
sj10689 Jan 15, 2013 at 6:48 pm
Considering that consumers are fickle (and often tech-illiterate), it would behoove RIM to have a Skype app readily available on BB 10's App World, instead of some "workaround" plugin. Integration with messaging and email clients can be complimentary, though.
BlackBerry Video chat should be available, alongside Skype. Offering choices for consumers who wish to choose is the right approach - they don't want to be told what to do, and they are often very uncompromising.
leafs123 Jan 15, 2013 at 10:59 am
There's a gmail icon on there too...doubt they'll launch a gmail app.
pallox Jan 15, 2013 at 11:27 am

pepe241185 Jan 15, 2013 at 2:23 pm
watched a video earlier of BB10 and noticed the Google Talk icon. I know RIM makes these apps but the fact that it's there means the RIM/GOOGLE relationship is not that stink ... who knows, maybe Google Maps will show sooner than later ...
Rootbrian Jan 15, 2013 at 3:31 pm
RIM only made those apps for the legecy blackberry java OS that runs on blackberry 7 devices. Google will have to make their own app for blackberry 10.
Plazmic Flame Jan 15, 2013 at 3:56 pm
Check the forums, there were leaked photos of a Google Talk app recently.
Jonathank Jan 15, 2013 at 11:00 am
TAKE that with a grain of salt.....the PLAYBOOK was also advertised with SKYPE... Remember the picture from the marketing department with the new playbook and one of the icons was Skype... Until it actually runs then I will believe...
alan510 Jan 15, 2013 at 11:42 am
I can't believe they would make the same mistake twice. RIM is smarter than that. It is better to show nothing than show something and then not have it at launch. That would simply draw attention to the negatives rather than the positives, to the observation that RIM can't deliver. I guess we'll find out soon.
Rootbrian Jan 15, 2013 at 3:33 pm
You can't blame RIM for microsoft not making the skype application. Get that through your head.
BBPandy Jan 15, 2013 at 7:20 pm
Skype said that they would be building for the PB, and then a couple weeks later M$ purchased skype & said "no skype on PB".. You can't blame RIM/BB for that.
....Amazon did the same thing. They said the kindle would be on the PB and then decided no, we want to make our own tab

chucklebutte Jan 15, 2013 at 11:09 am
Skype? Who uses it? I have over 300 contacts in my phone, 0 use Skype. About 250 Facebook friends, 0 use Skype. How is it that I know about 400 people and none of them uses Skype? To be honest I've never met anyone that "Skypes". I know more people who Tinychat and Chatroulette more than Skype. Now Netfilx.... Netflix would kill it. Not a Netflix user, but 99% of the people I know swarm to those stupid redboxes like crack heads to crack houses.
axe50 Jan 15, 2013 at 11:52 am
Now I see.
Clearly the decision whether to include Skype -a cross platform messaging application that is used heavily by both consumers and enterprises, which was also notably absent in the playbook, is based on your contacts.
G-bone Jan 15, 2013 at 2:30 pm
Got to agree with chucklebutte...don't know of anybody who uses it. Doesn't mean it shouldn't be there for the Skype - heads. It should be there. Everything should be there.
And sooner or later everything will be there...
soren203 Jan 15, 2013 at 6:00 pm

Skype is the new Windows Messenger. It does NOT mean that Skype with voice (skype to skype voice calling or skype-to-phone, phone-to-skype) is coming. It's just the new (text based) Windows messenger (now renamed to Skype Messenger or something).
It's just going to be a field in contact list. Like you've fields for Yahoo, BBM, Email, Google talk etc.
eyhab27 Jan 15, 2013 at 1:03 pm
We already have Skype Voice on our 9930's. I would think voice availibility is understood, its the video that is in question.
Rootbrian Jan 15, 2013 at 3:37 pm
Only on verizon and 3UK.
sj10689 Jan 15, 2013 at 6:54 pm
Regardless of the details, consumers will assume that Skype comes integrated with face-to-face video chat; if BB 10 offers Skype without that feature, especially since a front-facing camera is included, this will turn out to be a considerable bust.
Drew Oswalt Jan 15, 2013 at 11:51 am
OMFG! Where is AIM? If they don't have AIM I'm going to burn all my BBs and go buy 100 iphones. BB is so far behind everyone. I mean come on guys, a phone that can relocate whole cities and countries is revolutionary! No. It's magically delicious. Rofl.
Rootbrian Jan 15, 2013 at 3:39 pm
Dude, relax. If it's sarcasm, I'll laugh with you!

Marc_Paradise Jan 15, 2013 at 11:58 am
Typically one can cite verifiable sources when claiming something is a fact. Do you have any of those?
bigopti Jan 15, 2013 at 11:58 am
They better bring it! I prefer having full skype functionality over bbm, facebook and twitter!
BBM is closed off to only BB users, while facebook and twitter are just entertainment things which I could also do in the browser.
Non of the things mentioned before let me make video calls to other Skype users all over the world, independent from the platform they are using, be it a pc, tablet, phone.
Why I am still waiting for BB10? Cause of the superior os and security!
But I also kinda need Skype to work as well, you just can't force all the people you need to switching to a different app or even a phone.
And people complaining about Netflix is totally beyond me! A phone needs to be a communication platform, a smartphone also needs to be able to get things done!
Not watch a movie or anything else. For that I have a pc, laptop and tablet!
Rootbrian Jan 15, 2013 at 3:41 pm
Netflix and Microsoft have to make their own app. RIM doesn't make the apps. Haven't you thought of those developers?
k8bushlover Jan 21, 2013 at 2:33 am
Yes, if your tablet is iPad, Android -- not PlayBook. I would like Netflix on PlayBook, not my phone necessarily -- although I do in fact have it on an Android phone, I seldom use it there.
So, if Netflix comes to BB10, it may also come to PlayBook. But PlayBook alone has not been enough to entice Netflix off their asses to make a native app, or even port the Android version.
But your railing against people who do want it, even on their phones, doesn't really help the cause. Thanks for enlightening us all as to what OUR smartphones are for (Skype, apparently.) Do, or don't do, whatever you want with yours. Not everyone is the same, thank goodness.
Or, you could try to understand, instead of just saying something is beyond you and dismissing it as inherently worthless.
jasonvan9 Jan 15, 2013 at 11:59 am
I think something else interesting is the icon labelled "non_bbm_videocall"

Come to think of it, Skype has a normal messaging function, it may not be Video chat, as I'm assuming we all want, if its real at all, I would say its more likely it would just be for normal everyday messaging.

Something UNUSUAL BB10
ricocan Jan 15, 2013 at 1:28 pm
Just under the Skype icons are a whole series of video chat icons, would these be associated to Skype or to BB's video chat service?
Personally I think there is a huge opportunity to out-do Skype. Really there's not a bunch, if any competition for it and it's due for a competitor to step in and do video calling better, way better. I am not saying Skype isn't good, but it's been around for a while and hasn't seen any significant technical progression (please correct me if I am uninformed).
I think it would be pretty jaw dropping if RIM stepped up, they are all about connecting people after all and this is one function that really could use an overhaul!
Playbook007 Jan 15, 2013 at 2:47 pm
I find video chat on the playbook much better than Skype on my laptop.....very choppy very often.
tutibreaker Jan 15, 2013 at 2:03 pm
download link !!! i want that icon set
Playbook007 Jan 15, 2013 at 2:46 pm
For Skype to come to BB10 I believe is a good move......in my own opinion, Skype ranks low since it refused to come to the Playbook.....if it doesn't come to BB10, then I will continue not to support Skype nor Microsoft. However, if it does show up, I think it will be a big boost for Skype itself.....80 million users are not happy with Skype nor Microsoft for their past behavior I would guess.
Rootbrian Jan 15, 2013 at 3:44 pm
I know, people seem to think rim makes those apps, because they're in appworld/blackberry world. At least we know microsoft has to get their shit together.
Driftdreams Jan 15, 2013 at 2:52 pm
Skype isnt on BB10... How do i know?... Cause the same thing was done for leaked pics of the Playbook. We all thought it would have it. However, not so much... So, chances of it coming to BB10 and NOT being leaked earlier... Highly doubtful.
Rootbrian Jan 15, 2013 at 3:47 pm
1+ for being sensible and in touch with reality. Microsoft has to get their poop together and make the skype application, if they don't, we all know blackberry messenger will be killing skype with it's video chat integration across playbook, blackberry 10 smartphones and blackberry 5/6/7 with audio chat. :D
Rootbrian Jan 15, 2013 at 3:48 pm
I'm hoping microsoft gets their developers together and makes that skype application. If they don't, I hope imo.im gets together to make their app, or at least port the android version, for/to blackberry 10.
I don't care much for skype, period.
BB_Bmore Jan 15, 2013 at 4:54 pm
I got an email today from MS telling me how messager is being replaced with Skype. NOW. So that's all this is I'm sure. Nothing to see here Skype will not be there at launch. Well video chat skype won't but I'm sure the Im version will be hence the icons.
ayb_br Jan 15, 2013 at 5:33 pm
Skype will not support BB10 ! someone at RIM told me this =/
it's Microsoft policy !
sj10689 Jan 15, 2013 at 7:01 pm
Damned Microsoft; while I can't figure out an incentive for not making Skype (exclusivity, resource management, etc...), it appears that the move not to release Skype may indicate that they're surely feeling the pressure of the competition. The Windows 8/Surface launch has been sub-par for them, and I suppose that since they have control of Skype, they feel it would help them if they kept everything more in-house. But I don't know, exactly.
dannyd86 Jan 15, 2013 at 9:10 pm
Its a bad decision on there part if they dont release it for blackberry. Right now google is doing the same thing to them, so they might feel justified. But The best thing for windows phone 8 is a strong BB10. The apple google stranglehold on the market is hard to crack, more competition the better.
Dont forget all companies arent competing over the same customers, the market is growing every year. Theres a lot of business to go around.
sj10689 Jan 16, 2013 at 12:05 am
The thing with Google also came to mind, and also made me wonder whether or not Microsoft was doing the same. In this world of mobile arms races, patents and lawsuits, the competition has never been more intense; the desire to innovate has never been greater. But yes, this is good, because companies will be further encouraged to design breakthroughs that will benefit the consumer in the long term (as long as patents and licensing issues don't get in the way).
I think BB 10 will be a success; BB can be a strong "third party" competitor. the fact that BB Balance can cater to both work/professional use and personal use, without mixing the two, should make this offer less of a compromise. Lastly, mobile security will be an ever-growing concern; that's where BB shines.
Branta Jan 15, 2013 at 8:03 pm
I saw a report online before Xmas (can't remember where) with a Microsoft statement that new mobile development for Skype would focus only on Win8, and other mobile platforms "would be considered later".
That more or less seems to shut the door on RIM for the next cycle.
Jaredius Jan 16, 2013 at 10:50 am
If you want to gain market share, you have to give the people what they want.
nocturnal123 Jan 16, 2013 at 7:08 pm
I gate to bring bad news but just got this email now. Makes it look like BB10 won't be coming at launch or maybe at all.
an I update to Skype on my mobile?
Yes! Skype is available on iPhone, Android and soon on Windows Phone 8. We encourage you to download the latest Skype app on your mobile and then uninstall Messenger. You will be able to sign in to Skype on your iPhone, Android and Windows Phone 8 mobile apps with your Microsoft Account over the next few weeks. If you use another phone with Messenger on it, it will continue to work for a while.
I hope we do get it because it seems so important to so many

Meryl comes out of that looking like the tallest lady. Applause to her!
Saturday is finally here!!! excited about the Smucker's Gala on TV today.
I love the new exhibition!! I cant wait for the entire show to be posted on IN. For those who attended, did the champions do encores?
That was beautiful, like a country-folk waltz. I think I even saw a step from the Midnight Blues CD, but maybe it's accidental. My favorite part is the first minute or so, which TABFan so kindly taped for us. Did something go wrong with the "spin" (it was after the DF straight line lift) - it looked like they missed grabbing hands and couldn't get in rotations, but maybe that's how it's supposed to be?
I hope this shows up on youtube sometime soon. It shows off their improved chemistry (and step sequences!) so well.

Walkout closes Carlisle's DVLA office
Last updated at 11:00, Saturday, 28 July 2012
A staff walkout forced the early closure of Carlisle's DVLA office.
Union members at the Kingstown base took part in national action yesterday over cuts to public services. Ten staff are set to lose their jobs when the city office, at Parkhouse Business Park, closes in December 2013.
It is one of 39 local offices being shut. Services will be centralised in Swansea.
Staff have been fighting the proposed closure. But, despite a petition, the Government recently confirmed the closure will go ahead.
Members of the Public and Commercial Services (PCS) union are therefore taking part in industrial action. It is part of a wider campaign underway by staff across the entire Department of Transport.
Yesterday members of the PCS union in Carlisle took part in the latest walkout, from 2pm to 5pm.
It meant the office was forced to close at 4pm, when all non-union members had finished contracted shifts.
Michelle Muir took part in the action.
She said: "It is the next stage of strikes. Last time the walkout was two hours, this time it was three. The action will continue if no progress is made."

Have your say
To Brian, 'granny', 'Fab' and the rest of you anonymous folk - how dare you, shame on you. If the government had dumbed down my opinions to your extent - I'd remain anonymous too.
When did Britain become so full of narrow minded individuals that people actually want to see their services slashed to bits for no real reason?
Check your facts - it DID make a difference, we closed didn't we? As did most offices in the country, if you can cope with reading more than local news you may know this. We didn't take advantage of non-members, they went home early. The government have taken advantage of us. And you for that matter - their closing us and MANY other public departments, yet your tax hasn't dropped has it? I suspect that's too much politics & economics for either of you to understand.
I'm not sorry we called a strike & yes there will be more. We fight for the jobs we want to keep, a service that the public must retain and because we're proud. Fiercely proud.
When either of you ever feel proud enough about something, anything, to actually put your name to it, irrespective of future employers, silly comments & opinions, you may understand. We don't all have a 'roll over' attitude thank the stars.
Britain was built by the public and it's ran by the public, no government will take that away without a fight, get used to it.
Our office may be surplus for basic tax transactions which are already online, but try this, think of someone other than yourselves for a minute.
How do you expect an 80year old to suddenly become computer literate (and afford the computer), non-English speaking citizens to make sense of the English online & telephone services, people who can't read or write fill forms in or again use a computer? I suspect neither of you have given these people a second thought when you sat down with nothing to do but spit venom.
See if curiosity ever gets the better of you - pop down to my office & speak to the people we serve.
@Milly Tant - Well said! Anyone who is prepared to stand and fight against the savagery of this regime deserves the support and applause of everyone else.

neither, someone else
The closest example I can think of are their respective free programs from Worlds in 2001.
With Irina, all I saw were the jumps. With Michelle, I was caught up in the story she was presenting and didn't realise until the last triple lutz just how much content she'd packed into the performance.
If artistry, entertainment value, or the quality of the elements are not important, then Slutskaya was perhaps the very best of the era with Yoshie Onda a close second.
I didn't know that crossovers and easy steps sequences now count as technical content
Which elements did she never showcase? Ina bauers, spread eagles, split jumps? She did all of those in various programs, although hers were not admittedly as pretty as Kwan which had also do with Irina's different body type and more athletic style.
With the same argumentation, I could also ask why Kwan never did a tano double axel or other tano jumps? Oh wait, that's because she did not have the same jumping ability, which singles figure skating is an important part of, and since Irina was clearly better here, it means that Irina must be the better skater between these two
If you thought Kwan's routines were empty during this era, then what was Irina's routines? Negative balance? Anyway, Irina didn't really start to have content in-between her routines until COP but then her routines became devoid of any real musical interpretation or coherent choreography. Besides, having "prettier" skating elements doesn't mean it's only prettier but that a skater took time and energy to execute them properly, which is more difficult than doing it as a throw-away move.
Anyway, Irina had bigger jumps but she didn't always execute them the best way. Kwan's jumps weren't the biggest, but at Worlds, she was able to execute them with excellent flow and position out of the jumps. As for the spinning. Irina was a faster spinner and her layback had a better position. However, other than the Biellman, I found Kwan's to be better centered with more variety of position. People knocked Kwan for not being able to do a Double Biellman the way Irina could, but then nobody asked if Irina could do a double Y-spin the way Kwan did. Could Irina really do a proper arabesque position with a high leg position without the Biellman?
I'm not even sure that Irina Slutskaya had better jumps than Michelle Kwan ! Irina jumps higher than Michelle, but in term of jumping technique, Michelle's Flip, Salchow and Toe are, IMO, better than Irina's.
The Lutz is equal, both were on flat and Irina had a long, long, long entrance.
Axel and Loop are clearly better by Irina.
If Michelle had better technique on the flip, then I wonder why Slutskaya had so much more spring and height on this jump. Irina also had a slightly truer take-off edge than Kwan on the lutz and more difficult footwork into the flip. Kwan's entrance into the lutz was also not really shorter than Irina's, she just disguised it better.
^Agreed. I don't know why some would even attempt to dispute the fact that Slutskaya was the better jumper. Kwan did many things better. Is it that hard to recognize that others did SOME things better than her? I also noticed that past 2000, Kwan's jumps really got worse in height and spring.
I think Kwans jumps started to suffer after the 03 season, but she was able to hold on due to her technique. Slutskaya did have more spring and power on her flip, Kwan had nicer positions, as well as sometimes better flow out of her jumps especially from 97-01.
Last edited by Lnt175; 07-20-2013 at 04:10 PM.
Of the two, definitely Michelle. Although there were so many other skaters of the era I loved as well - Laetitia Hubert, Tanja Szewczenko, Annie Bellemare, Nicole Bobek, Vanessa Gusmeroli, Maria Butyrskaya, Olga Markova..
I remember joining the Michelle Kwan fan forum page once just to check it out and after an hour I never went back there. One of the nuttiest and most agressive fan bases in any sport probably.
Michelle Kwan - for sure.
Personally I enjoyed Slutskaya more because I got to see her grow from season to season, but overall Kwan was for most of her career a complete skater.
As of March 2013 - no longer scared of TAHbKA or Andrey aka Pushkin
Better jumps = Irina
Better spins = Irina
More difficult footwork = Irina
Better carriage = Michelle (Slutskaya was known for pumping her back, which made her skating look more labored than Kwan's)
Better choreography = Michelle
Better spirals = Michelle
Better musical interpretation = Michelle
Better competitive mindset = Michelle (she won the most head-to-heads at the biggest events)
Better speed = Irina
Skating skills = tie
Better transitions = Michelle (Slutskaya often telegraphed her jumps while Kwan disguised them a little better)
Michelle was not bad at jumping, spinning, or footwork, but Irina often did attempt more difficulty in these areas (the Biellmann on both feet; the footwork sequence all on one foot) and Slutskaya had better amplitude on her jumps and attempted more difficult triple+triples (3Lutz+3loop, 3Salchow+3loop) and did the 'tano 2Axel. Michelle had much more memorable programs though, IMO, and I think she was a more complete skater.
Overall, I preferred Michelle, but I liked Irina too. I actually liked their fellow countrywomen better though if I am being totally honest. If only Nicole Bobek and Maria Butyrskaya could have remained healthy, been mentally stronger, and delivered their full potential every time on the ice, we wouldn't even be having this Michelle/Irina debate.

You are right on Nicole. Sadly the judges saw Maria even in her prime as a third tier skater who could only win a bronze medal if she skated lights out and everyone else had a disaester (and even then sometimes not).

You've done the right thing by making appointments with a neurologist and another doctor. I would be very interested in what they have to say to you about your husband.
Wish you the best with it.
Thank you so much for your reply. Getting ready for our trip. Will let you know what transpires.
But it is good that they will further investigate it. Hate to say this, which may not be possible for you with the distances, but it is always good to get a second opinion.
My first neurosurgeon at a very good major research university said that I needed brain surgery ASAP. I got 3 other opinions and even traveled way out of state for one of them. All said NO. With the size that it was, the chances of it bursting were extremely low. The brain surgery for my particular problem has risks of lifetime paralysis, not being able to speak and even dying on the table. And there is a far safer alternative to go through the blood vessels in the groin instead of going directly through the head. So I learned.
Between my husband and myself, we have gotten out of 4 surgeries by getting second opinions. E.g. my husband was told to get a massive sinus surgery, but then the second ENT doctor gave him a nasal spray which completely took care of the problem. I was told that I needed to have 2 root canals re-done. I went to the dental school who said that the xrays weren't conclusive. He suggested that I come back in 6 months to have xrays redone and in the meantime if I got terrible pain, to come in for the surgery. 6 months later, he said that I never needed the surgery. That saved me thousands of dollars and all the painful appointments.
And it is good that your husband didn't have a stroke, because the chances of another stroke are very high. And the second one is far worse since the brain is already compensating. So count your blessings on that one.
But certainly wish you the best. And keep me posted.
I wonder, sometimes, if he's getting better or worse. Fortunately he has Medicare/Humana. I'm not loosing much when my job is done. Our insurance is unbelievable. It pays out, in a year only $500. So, it doesn't pay for much of anything except maybe a few minor doctors appointments. I'm still paying on surgery I had 5 years ago. I even had to get a loan to pay for a colonoscopy before they had to repair an umbilical hernia - oh, but gee, I still have not gotten my hernia repaired. I just go around all day poking it back in. Sorry, don't mean to sound the way I sound. Anyway, Pete has another MRI to see what is happening with what they think the tumor is. Thanks so much for asking. Have a good day!
I wish you the best with your husband's diagnosis.
My husband was able to get Medicare since he is on disability. He just turned 60 this year. I'll be the same age this October. I'll just have to hang in there for now. I left work early yesterday and I'm glad I did. He could not stand up to walk. I kept trying to get him to lean on me but he couldn't do that. I called the EMT's and he was finally able to get up. He said it seemed as fast as it happened it went away so quickly. They offered to take him to the hospital. He didn't want to go. I'd talked to one of his drs and he's got an appointment today. Thanks again for your concern. Hope all is going well for you.
Is there a more firm diagnosis for your husband? I hope that your husband is doing better.
This must be so hard on you to be trying so hard to cheer him as you are grieving. Don't discount the importance of what you are doing. It means everything to your husband. I cannot imagine what it must be to have your husband so suddenly be in such bad shape.
I just spent 2 years visiting my mother in hospice nearly every day. She passed away this past April. She was originally given 4 days to live. And she looked like it, nearly comatose, on oxygen, needing someone to feed her. Then she kept getting better. Then she kept having stroke after stroke or would seem to be dying. Each time I would heavily grieve thinking that it was the end, but then she would recover again. But that was my mother, not my husband. It nearly killed me to have to spend 3-4 hours almost every day along with my migraines, also needing at least 12 hours of sleep a night following my strokes, or the migraines get terrible--ER time. But I will never regret the time and effort. It was the most treasured time of my life with all the love between us.
Still, you are in such a difficult situation. I can't tell you how sorry I am for you. I will be praying for you and send you my love.

IEDs are one of the main causes of casualities among troops and exact a heavy toll on local populations. With the aim of reducing the risks posed by IEDs, the Alliance helps members and partners in developing their own C-IED capabilities, with a particular emphasis on education and training, doctrine development and improving counter-measure technologies.
NATO introduced a Counter Improvised Explosive Devices (C-IED) Action Plan with two main focus areas: defeating the device itself and disrupting the network. With defeating the device, various branches within NATO look at how to detect and neutralize IEDs, prepare and train soldiers for an IED environment, develop technology to prevent IED attacks and protect soldiers and civilians.
C-IED is not just about stopping or neutralising an IED once it is already in place, but also about identifying and disrupting the networks that create and initiate IEDs. The Alliance focuses on reducing the frequency and severity of IED attacks, while also targeting the networks that facilitate them. Understanding the various threat networks at the tactical to strategic levels is vital to success in current and future operations where battle lines are no longer linear.
C-IED efforts encompass work, research, testing and training conducted at NATO Headquarters in Brussels, Supreme Allied Command Transformation (SACT) in the United States, International Security Assistance Force Headquarters in Afghanistan (ISAF) and various Centres of Excellence (CoEs) and NATO Agencies. These different commands, agencies and divisions focus on training, developing technology designed to defeat IEDs, sharing information and bringing together non-NATO actors to disrupt the network before IEDs kill or injure troops, Afghan security forces and civilians.

This scale looks nice but is not accurate. One can weigh, get off and weigh again (after zeroing out) and weigh 4 pounds (or more) more or less than the first reading. A real disappointment.

National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) -- Concatenated, 1997 to 2011 (ICPSR 28544)
Alternate Title: N-SSATS, Concatenated, 1997 to 2011
Principal Investigator(s): United States Department of Health and Human Services. Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration. Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality
The National Survey of Substance Abuse Treatment Services (N-SSATS) is designed to collect information from all facilities in the United States, both public and private, that provide substance abuse treatment.
Data are collected on topics including facility operation, services offered (assessment and pre-treatment, pharmacotherapies, testing, transitional, ancillary), detoxification, primary focus (substance abuse, mental health, both, general health, and other), hotline operation, Opioid Treatment Programs and medications dispensed/prescribed, counseling and therapeutic approaches, languages in which treatment is provided, type of treatment provided, number of clients (total and under age 18), number of beds, types of payment accepted, sliding fee scale, special programs offered, facility accreditation and licensure/certification, and managed care agreements.
N-SSATS was titled the Uniform Facility Data Set (UFDS) in 1997 and 1998. Data from these years along with N-SSATS 2000 and N-SSATS 2002 to N-SSATS 2011 are included in this concatenated dataset.

Unit of Observation: facility
This concatenated file includes 173,590 records representing 31,477 individual treatment facilities. The universe for N-SSATS includes all active substance abuse treatment facilities on SAMHSA's I-SATS at a point six weeks before the survey reference date. Facilities added by State substance abuse agencies or through annual frame enhancement or discovered during the first three weeks of the survey are also included in the survey universe for each year.
The reference date for each year is:
1997: October 1
1998: October 1
2000: October 1
2002: March 29
2003: March 31
2004: March 31

2009: March 31
2010: March 31
2011: March 31
Note: Data from 1999 are not publically available and no survey was conducted in 2001.
Data Types: survey data
Data Collection Notes:
The Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality was formerly named the Office of Applied Studies. The yearly N-SSATS data collected from 1997 to 2009 were collected under the Office of Applied Studies. In 2010 data began to be collected under the Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality.
Data were collected by Mathematica Policy Research, Inc., Princeton, NJ, and prepared for release by Synectics for Management Decisions, Inc., Arlington, VA.
N-SSATS is a point-prevalence survey. It provides information on the substance abuse treatment system and its clients on the reference date. Client counts do not represent annual totals. Rather, N-SSATS provides a "snapshot" of substance abuse treatment facilities and clients on an average day.
N-SSATS collects data about facilities, not individual clients. Data on clients represent an aggregate of clients in treatment for each reporting facility.
N-SSATS attempts to obtain responses from all known facilities that provide substance abuse treatment, but it is a voluntary survey. There is no adjustment for facility nonresponse.
This is a concatenated file of the individual N-SSATS files. The 2008 survey was selected as the "base" year. The concatenated file includes equivalent variables from prior years. If an equivalent variable (i.e., with similar question wording) was not part of an earlier survey, the variable was constructed from the existing questions where possible. If an equivalent variable did not exist or could not be constructed, variables expressing a similar concept or topic were included.
The question text for most variables is based on the 2008 questionnaire. The question text for variables that have no equivalent in the 2008 survey was taken from the most recent questionnaire that included the variable. As question wording and definitions may vary slightly from year to year, the individual questionnaires should be consulted in any analysis.
General topics and data items that were discontinued before the 2008 survey are not included in the concatenated data set. The majority of these discontinuations occurred at the time of the major survey redesign prior to the 2000 survey. Discontinued data items were those where data reported was found to be unreliable and include facility revenue, percent of population representing specific groups, unduplicated client counts, wait list information, managed care ownership, and parent/affiliate relationships. Please see Table 4 of the PDF codebook for a crosswalk of the variables included in each survey year.
The concatenated file includes the facilities in the N-SSATS Annual Reports and public use files. Rules for the inclusion of facilities in the data file vary slightly. In 1997 only, facilities treating only DUI/DWI clients were inelgible to complete the survey. From 2000 on, non-state approved solo practitioners, and facilities where all clients were incarcerated were excluded.
In 1997, 1998, and 2000 the survey reference date was October 1. The reference date was changed to the last business day in March beginning with the 2002 survey. This change was made to help increase the timeliness of responses by facilities. As a result, no data were collected for 2001.
In 2002, a Web option for survey response was introduced and used by 20 percent of responding facilities. By 2010, this had increased to 61 percent.
Sample: The Inventory of Behavioral Health Services (I-BHS) provides the sampling frame for N-SSATS and includes all active substance abuse treatment facilities, public and private, known to SAMHSA. The majority (approximately 80 percent) of facilities are those that are licensed, certified, or otherwise approved by the state substance abuse agency to provide substance abuse treatment. This group also includes programs operated by Federal agencies-the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Defense, the Indian Health Service-and Opioid Treatment Programs certified by SAMHSA. The rest of facilities represent SAMHSA's effort since the mid-1990s to make the I-SATS as comprehensive as possible by including treatment facilities that State substance abuse agencies, for a variety of reasons, do not fund, license, or certify. Many of these facilities are private for-profit, small group practices, or hospital-based programs. Most of them are identified through periodic screening of alternative source databases. State substance abuse agencies are given the opportunity to review these facilities and to add them to the State agency-approved list, if appropriate.
Mode of Data Collection: mail questionnaire, telephone interview, web-based survey
Response Rates: Detailed response rates by year are provided in the PDF codebook. N-SSATS obtained an average response rate of 94 percent in the survey years 1997 through 2011.
Extent of Processing: ICPSR data undergo a confidentiality review and are altered when necessary to limit the risk of disclosure. ICPSR also routinely creates ready-to-go data files along with setups in the major statistical software formats as well as standard codebooks to accompany the data. In addition to these procedures, ICPSR performed the following processing steps for this data collection:
- Performed consistency checks.
- Created variable labels and/or value labels.
- Standardized missing values.
- Created online analysis version with question text.
- Performed recodes and/or calculated derived variables.
- Checked for undocumented or out-of-range codes.
Original ICPSR Release: 2011-06-01
Version History:
- 2014-04-25 This study update was done in order to remove the geographic variables of County, MSA, and CBSA.
- 2013-11-19 The value labels were added onto the COUNTY variable.
- 2013-11-15 Added 2011 data to the N-SSATS concatenated data file.
- 2012-06-07 Added 2010 data to the N-SSATS concatenated data file.

text: Hi all, I just picked up a set of monitor 10B's from a seller on CL for $20. The cabs are in pretty ruff shape, and three of the mid drivers are frozen(shifted magnets). I am planning on restoring these speakers and I would like to know what would be a good replacement for the mid drivers? They are MW 6503. I saw three MW6600X on that auction site, would they be a good replacement? Thanks in advance.

Ok, well, I had to think of something for the title.
We're just barely one day out to the start of Eurovision madness. Belarus is holding its National Final on December 7th!
Other interesting development: This year, the performance order will be picked by the producers, rather than through a draw. I have really mixed feelings about this. It could lead to $$ going into who gets which spot for better chances of success or whatnot. Or it could be fine and we may all think the producer-picked order is perfect. Who knows at this point?
And, just to make life easier for everyone, here's a list of National Final dates (thus far):
December 7: Belarus
December 15: Switzerland
December 16: Belgium (song; artist already selected)
December 20: Lithuania
December 22: Albania
December 23: Ukraine
January 26: Denmark
February 2: Iceland, Malta
February 9: Finland, Norway
February 14: Germany
February 15: Austria
February 16: Latvia
February 22: Ireland
March 2: Estonia
March 3: Serbia
March 9: Sweden
Macedonia will select in December; The Netherlands have their artist, but will not select the song until February.
Unknown National Final Dates w/Confirmed Participation: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Georgia, Hungry, Israel, Moldova, Montenegro, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Slovenia, Turkey, France, Italy, UK
Yay! Time to talk Eurovision again...how I missed it for 6 and a half months!

I am so sorry you are having such a difficult time.
Many of us have been there.
I most likely have had asthma my whole life, but it worsened severely about 5 years ago. The severe asthma was triggered by another disease, Aspirin Exacerbated Respiratory Disease (AERD). Typically AERD starts in the mid to late 30s wiith chronic sinusitis and possibly nasal polyps. Severe asthma develops in the early to mid 40s. Aproximately 20% of all asthmatics have AERD. Treatment is aspirin desensitization which is 100% effective if you do have the disease. Diagnosis of ARED is much less. If you have ever had a reaction to aspirin, any NSAID and many foods, it is likely that you have ARED.
I would recommend you do some research on AERD to see if you think you fit the profile. Then, if you want, discus your research with your allergist.
Praying for you.
I hope that allergy shots help you. I'm starting my 7th year of allergy shots and my allergies and asthma just keep getting better and better. I hope that is your experience, too.
Definitely your mom and sister should have told you sooner to be treated by an allergist/immunologist since those kind of doctors are the experts in allergic disease.
Hope this information helps you. Take care & good luck. Judy
Feel better.
I understand your frustration I have been hospitalized to many times to count and been rushed a few times to a bigger health center by ambulance for closer monitoring and have been intubated once. It is so frusterating to live life like that. I also see a specialisit I see a respirologist every 6 weeks 3 hours a way. i have moved, i have changed jobs (although now I am on disability) I understand your frustration. Please let me know if I can be of any more help. I am on so many medications. It is very frustrating. i am currently trying a gluten free diet right now to see if that helps. I do see a counsler for mental health and stress managment as stress really triggers my asthma.
