European Mosaic Cruise - Rome to Lisbon
June 5 – 13, 2013
7 nights aboard Nautica cruising to historic and scenic ports of callFrom $2,199 per person, double occupancy (Airfare included)
Tour Operator: Go Next |
Sample some of Europe's rich past and exciting present as you cruise to distinctive ports in Italy, Monaco, France and Spain aboard the elegant Oceania Cruises Nautica. Leave Rome behind and cruise north on the coastal route to the port of Livorno and the glorious cities of Pisa, with its famous Leaning Tower, and Florence, where Renaissance masterpieces await. Sail to Monte Carlo, famous for its casino and its stunning French Riviera locale on the winding Grand Corniche. Continue to colorful Marseille, a Provençal gateway for visits to the towns of Aix, renowned for its lovely fountains, and Avignon, a medieval refuge for 14th-century popes. Visit Barcelona, a city known worldwide for its enduring cultural influence and the distinctive architecture of Antoni Gaudí. This European mosaic becomes even more colorful in Cartagena, Spain, with spectacular ancient Roman and Byzantine ruins, Baroque ramparts, Art Nouveau façades and contemporary maritime attractions.
President Dorman and his wife Beverly will be aboard and invite you, your friends and family to join them for this luxurious cruise. Travel is a wonderful opportunity to learn about other countries and cultures, continuing the Westminster tradition of excellence in education. You will also enjoy Westminster fellowship while getting to know other alumni.
A voyage aboard Oceania Cruises Nautica is like no other, a unique experience that combines elegance with exceptional intimacy, where a crew of 400 caters to only 684 passengers. Whether dining on gourmet cuisine considered the finest at sea, absorbing an interesting guest lecture, listening to a classical string quartet, or relaxing in your spacious, well-appointed stateroom or suite, each day aboard Nautica is an enriching travel adventure.

1930's Semi-detached two story extension and renovation
Was meant to be out in the garden this weekend building my new garden office, but the weather wasn't on my side, so I fired up SketchUp and started the design work for the house. Thinking about a two storey extension to the side (in place of the garage) and a single story extension to rear, fancy knocking through the existing living room and dining room and re-developing the kitchen. But how far can a 1930's semi be pushed?
View of upstairs, extended third bedroom and the double size bathroom.
View from the rear of the house. Velux windows in the single story pitched roof to throw light into the living space.
Living and dining room knocked through, with furniture providing logical separation. The kitchen is slightly relocated and opens out onto the decking / back garden with the dining room table in close proximity. Great for summer dining. Small office / toy room and downstairs toilet in place of garage.
Bi-fold doors out onto the decking.
Fair bit of steel required. Think I'll have to develop this concept a bit further to simplify.

The issue features articles by Germaine Warkentin, Susan Gingell, Deanna Reder, Allison Hargreaves, Daniel Heath Justice, Kristina Fagan Bidwell, Jo-Ann Episkenew, Andrea King, Joanne Leow, and Ana María Fraile, and new Canadian poetry & book reviews.

The opening item in Mark Macdonald's collection, headed "Contents," is a series of short paragraphs each sketching an item suggesting the person whose identities it has shaped and whose life it records and distorts. This sparse, garage-sale suggestive-ness conveys with an immediate yet imprecise force the displaced world that the volume generates, along axes of both character and narrative.

Notre Dame, which shot 39.3 percent (22 of 56), was led by Garrick Sherman (14 points) and Pat Connaughton (13 points and seven rebounds). The Irish's guards, Eric Atkins and Jerian Grant, scored nine and eight points but made just 5 of 20 shots and had just four assists.
"We ran into a buzzsaw today," Notre Dame coach Mike Brey said. "Their defense really gave us problems the whole afternoon. Their guards played with such intensity. They stopped our guards, who are pretty darn good, from getting inside. And Siva was amazing. He was impossible to keep out of the paint. He broke down our defense.
"But I told my team I'm proud of them. We were 3-3 in the league when Scott Matin went down (with a season-ending knee injury), and we finished sixth in the league at 11-7. What did the sixth-place team do in last year's tournament? Yeah, I know, it was Louisville, and they won it. That's what I'm thinking. Actually, I started thinking that with 12 minutes to go."
Pitino noted the continued good play of his bench, specifically Hancock, a 6-6 junior forward, and Kevin Ware, a 6-2 sophomore guard.
Hancock, a transfer playing his first season here and who elicits the crowd cheer "L-u-u-ke" every time he does something, hit 2 of 4 three-point shots.
Ware had eight points, three rebounds, two assists and a steal and made the game's most spectacular play, a high-flying dunk on a fast break off an alley-oop pass from Russ Smith that brought the house down.
"Kevin Ware is doing a lot of good things now," Pitino said. "And Luke keeps getting better and better."
Louisville, which earned a double-bye in the Big East tourney, will play the winner of the Villanova-St. John's game Thursday at 7 p.m. ET in the quarterfinals.
Notre Dame, which earned a single bye, will play the winner of the DePaul-Rutgers game Wednesday at 9 p.m. The winner of that game will play Marquette on Thursday, with the winner of that game will play Louisville (if the Cards win Thursday) on Friday.
NOTES: Six of the last eight games between these teams have gone to overtime (two to double overtime), and on Feb. 11 they played an epic five-overtime game won 104-101 by Notre Dame. The teams are 3-3 in those OT games, and the last three games in Louisville went to overtime, with Louisville holding a 2-1 advantage. ... Notre Dame's Cameron Biedscheid, a 6-7 freshman, was ineligible Saturday because he was ejected after a fight in Tuesday's game against St. John's. He had played in all 30 games this season and is averaging 6.8 ppg, sixth on the team. ... The teams have met 30 times in a series that dates to 1952, with UofL holding an 18-12 advantage. ... Saturday was Senior Day for UofL, with Siva, Dieng and Mike Marra honored. Marra missed his senior season with a career-ending knee injury, and Dieng figures to go pro after this season.

Sized down for your little girl or boy comes Adidas Originals for Kids.
When Adi Dassler began what was to become one of the biggest success stories ever, he followed three guiding principles in his development work, driven by his passion for sports and shoe making: to produce the best shoe to serve the needs of the sport, to protect the athlete for injury and to make the product durable,Adidas was being born.
The story began in his mothers washroom, a space of around 200 square foot, with no machinery and no electricity. Dassler, with two hired shoemakers, began producing 100% hand-made leather shoes. At the age of 23, Adi convinced his brother Rudolf to join the business from which they register their small business as "Dassler Brothers Shoe Factory".
The rest they say is history and the Adidas Originals collection was introduced to pay homage to some of the best design silhouettes ever produced.

CellLight® Late Endosomes-GFP is:
- Highly Efficient: >90% transduction of a wide range of mammalian cell lines, including primary cells, stem cells, and neurons
- Fast and Convenient: Simply add CellLight® Late Endosomes-GFP reagent to your cells, incubate overnight, and image—or store frozen, assay-ready cells for later use
- Robust: CellLight® reagents are non-replicating in mammalian cells, lack of observable cytopathic effect, and are suitable for biosafety level (BSL) 1 handling
- Flexible: You can co-transduce more than one BacMam reagent for multiplex experiments or co-localization studies and tightly control expression levels by just varying the dose
CellLight® reagents are fusion constructs of signal peptides or cell structure proteins with premiere emGFP, TagRFP, or CFP for accurate and specific targeting to sub-cellular compartments and structures. A variety of targets, including cytoskeleton, mitochondria, and secretory compartments, are available for convenient multiplexing, co-localization studies, and imaging of dynamic cellular processes where high spatial and temporal resolution is required. The CellLight® reagents tolerate fixation with formaldehyde and are therefore compatible with fixed-cell analysis.
BacMam Technology
The BacMam technology is based on an insect virus (baculovirus) for efficient transduction and transient expression in mammalian cells. The baculovirus has been modified to include an expression cassette containing the CellLight® fusion construct. BacMam 2.0 incorporates elements that help greatly enhance transduction efficiency and expression levels: a pseudotyped capsid protein for more efficient cell entry, an enhanced CMV promoter, and the Woodchuck hepatitis post-transcriptional regulatory element (WPRE). Baculoviruses do not replicate in mammalian cells and thus have an excellent safety profile and lack cytopathic effects on cells.
Workflow Convenience
Unlike expression vectors, BacMam reagents enable titratable and reproducible transient protein expression. There is no need for harsh transfection methods or tedious cloning. To achieve highly efficient expression even in sensitive cells, such as stem cells, neurons, and primary cells, just add CellLight® reagents to cells in complete medium, incubate, and image the next day. Alternatively, mix CellLight® reagent and cells at the time of plating.
Co-transduction efficiencies are high allowing multiple CellLight® reagents to be readily used in the same experiment when multiple structures or pathways need to be labeled. CellLight® reagents also tolerate fixation with formaldehyde and are thus compatible with antibody-based fixed-cell analysis.
Typically, transiently transduced cells express fusion protein for about five days, though in slowly dividing cells, such as some primary cell types, expression has been demonstrated for up to two weeks; in terminally differentiated neurons we have recorded images more than three weeks after transduction.
Related Products
We offer a range of BacMam-based reagents beyond CellLight® reagents, including the BacMam GFP Transduction Control that is ideal to test out the technology and optimize transduction conditions, Premo™ Biosensors, including Premo™ Autophagy Sensor, ion channel drug targets, pathway analysis kits, and more.

Warning: Flipping Your Classroom May Lead to Increased Student Understanding
Posted by David R. Wetzel, Ph.D.
Flipping a classroom is not a teaching technique, it is more in line with a philosophy or way of teaching. It involves using technology as a tool, not the main focus, for helping students increase their understanding of science or math concepts.
Effective use of this way of thinking helps reduce student anxiety and frustration when studying science or math, especially when homework is involved. Unfortunately, failure to complete homework is a common problem among students, because they typically work in isolation.
This aggravation causes students to view homework as a maddening waste of time — leading to incomplete assignments and ultimately poor grades as they fall further and further behind.
Contrary to perceptions some may have about flipping a classroom, homework is not eliminated. It uses an entirely different approach (Learning 4 Mastery, Student Impressions).
How does Homework Change?
Homework becomes a series of shortinstructional videos, teacher lecture screencasts, and podcasts on your blog or wiki designed to replace in-class lectures.
Why is this a good thing?
Lecturing Does Not = Learning
Have you ever experienced the glazed look in your students' eyes when lecturing?
Do you observe them taking copious notes and not really paying attention to you as you talk or place notes for them to copy on the overhead, chalk board, whiteboard, or smart board?
Also, this delivery method provides students limited time to make sense and formulate questions regarding new information, i.e., they do not have time to assimilate the information or make connections.
Impact of Lecturing
Lectures result in a one-way transfer of knowledge that does not pass through your students brains. It goes straight from your mouth or screen to their pen or pencil onto paper — passing go (the brain), proceeding directly to a potentially never opened notebook.
Through your best efforts to teach the important concept(s) in a lesson, they have learned little and typically cannot apply the information. This is why traditional home work is frustrating and viewed as a waste of time by most students. Typically, students do not remember enough from class to complete their homework assignments.
Impact on Homework
Using the flipped philosophy, students learn from podcasts, lectures, or videos at their own pace. Also, they can review them as many times as want. Of course questions will come up, even higher-order questions. Why? Because students now have time to think about what they are observing — this is a good thing. Now lectures and content videos are passing through your student brains! Homework is now useful and a beginning point for the next day's class.
Homework Resources
The following is a short list of vieo resources for science and math.
- Kahn Academy an extensive list of short videos of science and math concepts and procedures.
- Teacher Tube – Science hundreds of short videos covering all science content areas.
- Teacher Tube – Math hundreds of short videos covering all math content areas.
- Student Made Math Movies – elementary math concepts
How Does In-Class Time Change?
Classes now become a center for student learning. You have more time to interact with students on a one-to-on basis. Additionally,:
- you address student higher-order questions concerning homework.
- your opportunity to discover student misconceptions and procedural confusion is increased.
- students spend more time on experiments and investigations.
- students spend more time on project based learning activities.
- students work in groups or independently to solve problems.
- you can differentiate instruction as necessary.
Flipping Your Classroom: Things to Consider
Is this for you and your students? Think about the following, remembering that like anything new it takes time and should be implemented in steps to avoid frustrating yourself and students. A flipped classroom is:
- not a substitute for you.
- a place where you are no longer the purveyor (one way communication) of all knowledge.
- a place where content is stored on your blog or wiki for student review prior to tests and absent or home bound students can review.
Challenging the Status Quo
Why use this strategy? Because in far too many cases the status quo is not working.
Although there are a multitude of reasons why students drop out of school, the process begins as early as elementary school. The leading cause is poor grades and test scores. Students do not feel engaged in school and find it monotonous (California Dropout Research Project).

» Read MoreGeorge Mason University (GMU) is quite different compared to many other colleges or universities. I have seen GMU grow from being a predominantly commuter-school to a residential university. Since my first year I have seen many dormitory and building constructions and renovations. I have had the opportunity to experience the GMU residential life and the commuter life. I absolutely enjoy getting an education at a university that is constantly growing and improving. Not to mention, the diversity of the enrolled students is also another reason I enjoy GMU.
» Read MoreIn truth this campus gets really boring at nights and weekends, many would say because it lacks a football team and many would argue that this school just has no spirit. Frats are off campus and only a few ever join one since they are expensive and at times selective or time consuming. Most students here are commuters who you never see around campus. There are many clubs, but other than that there isn't for a student to do around here. People mostly keep to themselves and the dorms are fairly quiet most days. You hear people brag about the 2006 Basketball Finals all the time so much that it gets tiring. If you are a student who are seeking a quiet and anti-social education come here, but if you want to have fun in college and remember the 4 years for the rest of your life then by all means don't go here. I am glad to be transferring out next semester due to tuition problems to Washington State University. For the money its better to go to a school people know of instead of hearing, George Mason? Never heard of it... what state is it in?
» Read MoreI absolutely love George Mason University!!
» Read MoreThis school really is a huge suitcase school. If you live out of state, then you'll definitely be able to find the other out-of-state students on the weekends because most of the in-state students go home, and the campus is practically empty. If you're looking for any parties at all, then be ready to walk 20 minutes to the fraternity houses, or find a ride. If you're planning on going into DC a lot, then it will take you between a 1/2 hour to an hour to get there, depending on where you're going. You could also visit Fairfax Corner, which has some different restaurants.

Improved medicines have helped many people with HIV live longer, but treating older adults with HIV presents some unique challenges.
The challenges related to diagnosing HIV in older adults have been well documented. In many instances, both doctors and patients are uncomfortable discussing risk factors, such as unprotected sex and injection drug use, and the symptoms of HIV can mimic symptoms of other conditions common in older adults.
Once a diagnosis is made, however, there are additional challenges for older adults with HIV and the doctors who treat them. The most effective combination of drugs can interact with medicines these adults frequently take for a host of other conditions, such as high blood pressure.
The protease inhibitors that are a critical part of treating HIV inhibit an enzyme in the liver that metabolizes medicines, raising the risk of drug interactions, says Karl Goodkin, MD, PhD, who works with elderly HIV patients at the University of Miami.
"Usually, you just avoid prescribing the drugs that interact," says Dr. Goodkin. "You don't have that option here. You have to prescribe the drugs. Substance abuse and diet can also interact with these antiretroviral medicines. We are in a quandary right now. As a result, we're entering a whole new area of research to define what's appropriate to do."
HIV drugs may also increase the risk of certain conditions, such as high cholesterol, high triglyceride levels, kidney stones, inflammation of pancreas, and liver damage. Plus, the volume and range of medicines that elders take also increase the risk of drug interaction "tremendously," according to Dr. Goodkin.
There is also the issue of getting patients to remember to take all of their medicine.
"One of the most common reasons HIV patients do not take their meds is 'I forgot,'" says Lori Fantry, MD, PhD, medical director of Baltimore's Evelyn Jordan Center at the Infectious Disease Clinic. Forgetting to take medicines can be very serious for someone with HIV since the medicines work to decrease the amount of virus in the body.
There is good news, however, on two fronts. Patients who take their medicine "have a very good chance of getting a good response," says Dr. Fantry. And older adults may experience the same benefits from treatment as do younger patients. Seniors generally have a better acceptance about taking their HIV medicine than do younger people, Dr. Fantry explains, because they are already used to a daily routine of taking pills.
"The elderly people in our clinic clearly have a responsible attitude toward their disease," she says. "They may need more support to do it, but once you put the supports in place with the social worker, pill boxes and reminders, they seem to do well."
There have also been significant advances in reducing the number of pills that need to be taken to control the illness. "We've come a long way from 20 pills a day," says Dr. Fantry. "We have a regimen where we can get good control with just one pill in the morning and one in the evening. You cannot do that with everyone. One regimen is seven pills a day, but it is much better than we had just a few years back. The news is clearly not all negative. Every year, it gets a little easier to take medicine."

I've checked through Blackboard, I've download the Manual, and I can find nothing to close a Discussion Board to eliminate the possibility of late postings.
Yes, I know there is a place to allow "Display", or not, however, I set that, logged out and back in and without using the Control Panel was still able to access and use the Discussion Board.
Our Bb guru couldn't find anything other than that also.
Any helpful hints out there?
Sorry we missed this post you made earlier.
Since you posted this in the CE6, CE 8, Vista course management discussion I will assume you are using one of those Blackboard products.
locking a discussion in either of those products is pretty easy.
From your Teach tab, click on Discussions in your left hand navigation menu.
Go to the Action menu for the discussion you want to lock and select 'Edit Properties"Scroll down and open "Topic Behavior options"
select "Lock this topic for Students (Section Instructors can post in a locked topic) "
Hope this helps
Hi Harold,
I searched Google to try to find an answer to this question and came across your post above. Would you let me know how I can do this in BB version 8?
Thomas Myers
Adjunct Instructor, Psychology
Sorry for the late response. Are you asking about Blackboard CE 8, or are you asking about Blackboard Academic Suite 8? You posted this question in the CE 8 area.

Rumor: O2 To Get The iPhone In The UK
It has been rumored that O2 beat out other wireless carriers such as T-Mobile and Vodafone to carry the iPhone. If this is true as The Finacial Times claims it is then Apple will supposedely do a different carrier for each country in Europe for the iPhone's release late this year.
As of late we've heard confirmations and denials as to which carrier would get Apple's iPhone and many were uncertain of it's fate in Europe due to the lack of 3G in the device as 2G networks such as EDGE are very rare.
O2 has also beaten a strong competitor, Vodafone to the punch if this rumor can be confirmed. But we'll know very soon if it is as the contract will be signed quickly which will be followed up by an announcement.
But Apple is still negotiations with other wireless carriers across Europe and for when the iPhone's exclusivity ends with other carriers such as O2.

Sprint says they aren't worried about the iPhone. They feel very secure in their own product offerings and their fast network. They aren't worried at all. So any misconceptions that their new campaign entitled, WhyPhone Raises Questions is attacking Apple's iPhone is wrong. No, they aren't worried.
Sprint isn't worried that "M:Metrics Inc. in Seattle surveyed 11,000 wireless phone users in May and found about 8% of Sprint's customers expressed a "high interest" in buying an iPhone, compared with 12% for T-Mobile and nearly 7% for Verizon Wireless. Nope they aren't worried.
That's why in the WhyPhone campaign they call this mystery competitor, the "why (pay-an-extra-400-hundred-dollars-or-more-phone) Phone". Sprint has released a PDF fact sheet that compares their product offerings with this so called MyPhone.
Lately there has been some talk in the industry about a device that sounds something like a "whyPhone," but based on initial reports and speculation, Sprint appears to offer much more when it comes to value, variety and speed.

Crowd control and having enough stock will be two key components for Apple and AT&T's iPhone launch. Lines will be horrendous and according to Greg's recent poll 11.79 percent of our readers who voted will wait overnight just for an iPhone. Apple and AT&T better be prepared for anything even a jealous paint ball assailant.
Engadget reports that a June 11th memo sent by AT&T to retail stores suggests managers communicate extended store hours to their landlords and highly suggest the use of stanchions to help conform the line of iPhone buyers.
In addition to crowd control USA Today reports additional launch day info. A whopping 2,000 sales people will be added to AT&T stores with half staying just to handle the iPhone launch and that certain stores will receive a higher inventory count than other outlets. These figures were based on iPod sales for that region.
more...IPhone Will Leave You Waiting And Wanting
It's no surprise that as we await June 29th, the hype surrounding the iPhone has gone through the roof. Lines may very well wrap around stores, short supplies will cause waiters to riot, ok well not as dramatic but you do get the picture.
Arstechnica is reporting the same thing, long lines, long waits and limited supplies. No doubt if you're a die hard Apple fan or really do need an iPhone you'll probably line up opening day or even pitch a tent and make some friends.
Your plan of attack will vary depending on whether you go to an Apple or AT&T store. Luckily I was right by an Apple store and decided to ask an employee about the iPhone's launch day.
This employee had managed previous launch events at various Apple stores and noted that for every event, lines went far out the store and start right by the entrance so as not to disturb other buyers. He also suggested coming at least 3 hours early to get a spot up front and to check in at 12PM at the earliest to see how the line will be structured. Also, as far as the manager of… more...
European IPhone Carrier Yet To Be Found
While Apple has already found a US carrier for the iPhone (AT&T), the company seems to be having difficulties in Europe. While there are far more choices abroad Apple seems to have angered potential carriers coming off as extremely arrogant, some have claimed they will never carry the iPhone.
A report issued by analyst Avi Greengart on Monday suggested Apple would have to go retail only when selling iPhones in Europe unless Orange (The Apple iPhone exclusively on Orange) can meet the steep demands put in place and is the only carrier left for Apple to choose from with a widespread EDGE network. Even though Apple may have burned it's bridges concerning wireless providers in Europe, a significant opportunity may be in place.
Avi notes that the high end market is wide open for Apple, whether or not consumers accustomed to buying sub 200 dollar phones will consider an iPhone is not the issue. Apple commanding the high end sales could allow themselves to test the iPhone significantly before cheaper models are introduced. there will be little to no competition and nothing to stop Apple from innovating the iPhone, should some part of the phone fail, corrections can be… more...
Verizon's Answer to the iPhone: Flexibility and Choice
Jim Cramer of the popular "Mad Money" TV show thinks Ivan Seidenberg, the CEO of Verizon shpould get mad props. In his show, according to his website, TheStreet.com, Cramer said, "Seidenberg should take Verizon even higher and deserves the benefit of the doubt."
But when Cramer then asked Seidenberg about how the iPhone would impact Verizon, thats when the real propping came out. In this case, it was Seidenberg propping up Verizon's flexibility, advanced network, and breadth of choices as reasons why Verizon can counter AT&T and Apple's iPhone.
The iPhone is going to create a lot of buzz and add "sizzle" to the industry, Seidenberg said. He believes that people will go to Apple and AT&T stores and then compare the product with what Verizon has to offer.
Although I believe that Verizon does indeed have a more dvanced network and greater flexibility, there is no way in hell people will take the time to compare options between Verizon and AT&T. Why? Well, mostly because those who are interetsed in the iPhone are caring more about the "sizzle" than anything else. And right now, if… more...
Verizon Counters the iPhone with the LG Prada
Verizon always said they would respond to AT&T and their iPhone. But I think most people (me included) figured that would mean some "wickedly uncool" Motorola phone or a novelty Chocolate phone or something. Never in a million years did I expect Verizon would sell the fabulous LG Prada: perhaps the closest thing to an iPhone in the world.
According to TheStreet.com, Verizon's answer to the iPhone is the LG Prada phone retailing for $600, one honey more than the iPhone. In my opinion this is the smart thing for Verizon to do. The Prada phone is already out in the market and has gained a lot of exposure for its luxury brand name and iPhone like features.
Maybe Verizon Wireless will retain some customers after all.

Maybe I missed something, but I was sure that I heard correctly that Motorola was going to unveil a new "wickedly cool" phone today. I was told this device would be a "media monster" and Apple should worry about how to compete with it. Was I the only one that thought Ed Zander and Motorola may have had something legit in the works?
Wait. Are you saying that the RAZR2 phone that was announced today was the device he was talking about? You mean the thing that looks like the old RAZR only it does streaming TV, is a tad slimmer, and is made of different materials? I don't know about you, but this hardly warrants a comparison to the iPhone. It barely warrants a comparison to any other phone except for the RAZR.
Here are the specs of the RAZR2 according to tgdaily:
The Razr2 will be offered in three versions - the V9 (3G HSDPA), V9m (EVDO CDMA) and the V8 (GSM). At the core of each phone is a 500 MHz ARM11, which Motorola says is about 10 times faster than the original Razr. The feature set also includes a 2.2"… more...
How "Wickedly Cool" Can Motorola Be?
Add Ed Zander to the list of CEO's that haven't had a good night's sleep since the announcement of the iPhone. When recently asked about the iPhone, a cocky Motorola Chairman and CEO Ed Zander said, "How do you deal with the iPhone? How do they deal with us?"
Zander then announced that next week, a new "media monster" phone will be revealed by Motorola and that it "meets one of the company's product development goals to offer 'wickedly cool' products." How "wickedly cool" can this thing be? Zander and Motorola might have produced the RAZR but they really haven't produced anything else since so pardon me for the skepticism. Is it "wickedly cool" using the RAZR as its guide?
Zander says that the iPhone will "stimulate the overall market for feature-rich mobile devices" and that is good for Motorola. I would argue that might be like the head of the Creative Zen line saying "the iPod will stimulate the overall market for MP3 devices and that is good for us." Zander has to say these things because his company is reporting a $181 million first quarter net loss.… more...
Big Advance by RIM Does Not Even Come Close to iPhone
It always seems to happen. In the last few months, every time a competitor in the phone industry announces their next big thing, it is always dubbed the "answer to the iPhone." But what people need to remember is even if a company advances their own product line, it does not mean that it will even come close to the iPhone.
I know, I know, nothing more than blind faith following the iPhone: a product that isn't even out yet. But take this announcement for example, and let's talk fact.
Research In Motion just announced the new Blackberry Curve. It has a new "liquid silver" finish and lightweight frame. A 320 X 240 LCD display, web access, a fancy new trackball device, a 2.0 megapixel camera, and a QWERTY keyboard.
Can someone please explain to me, how any of this competes with the iPhone specs?
Let's compare specs head-to-head:
Screen size: Curve=320X240 pixels iPhone: 3.5 inches
Input Method: Curve=Trackball? iPhone: Multi-touch
GSM: Curve=Quadband iPhone=Quadband
Thickness: Curve=15.5mm iPhone=11.6mm

O'Shea leaves OU
It comes as quite the surprise that Ohio University Head basketball coach Tim O'Shea jumped ship earlier this week. He accepted a position as the men's basketball coach at the newly established, in D1 atleast, Bryant University.
Although O'Shea did win 20 games last year (20-13), he has a home in Rhode Island and strong ties to the New England area. It sounds like this decision had to be driven by personal reasons. Why else would anyone leave Ohio for Bryant, who is not tournament eligible for a few years?

Missing Grimsley, catching Brunello
Tomorrow morning I am hitting the road for the State baseball championships in Columbus. My original plan was to cover the Walsh Jesuit game Thursday morning, the Canton Central Catholic game Friday afternoon and then jump into a car with the Rivals guys, Steve Hare and Joe Harrington from Kentsportsreport.com, to watch Kent State basketball recruit Alex Grimsley play in the Hoosiers' Reunion All-Star Classic in Knightstown, Indiana, then make my way back to Columbus for baseball championships Saturday morning.
Unfortunately I have to fill in and do some high school track and field coverage Friday in Columbus instead. So, no Grimsley for me and no blog post about it for you.

A 19-year-old man suspected of killing two children and a woman in Rancho Cordova is related to the victims, officials said Wednesday morning.
Grigoriy Bukhantsov is the slain kids' uncle and the woman's brother-in-law, investigators said.
He is the only suspect; investigators aren't looking for anyone else in connection with the triple homicide, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department.
Bukhantsov was previously considered a person of interest.
He was first detained about 2 a.m. at a Rocklin Denny's, where he was found sleeping in a booth. A minivan he drove was at the diner, as well, which is how police traced him.
Detectives questioned the teen, then arrested him. The van has been towed as evidence, deputies said.
Bukhantsov is held at the Sacramento County Jail without bail. He will face three murder charges, the Sheriff's Department said.
On Tuesday, a man -- now confirmed as Bukhantsov's brother -- made a bloody discovery when he found his wife and two children dead inside a Rancho Cordova home on De Soto Way, deputies said.
A baby was found alive inside the Sacramento County home, the Sheriff's Department said.
Sgt. Jason Ramos, a sheriff's spokesman, said the children's father found the victims when he came home about 3:30 p.m.

Tyson Donates 40K to Local Hunger Relief Program
By: Tyler Thomason
Updated: November 19, 2012
Meat giant, Tyson Foods, donated $40,000 to the Snack-Pack hunger relief effort on Monday.
The donation comes as part of Tyson's "Know Hunger" campaign that launched last year.
"It's often a misconception in the United States throughout our country that in our neighborhoods there is not an issue of hunger, but the fact is, there is," says Tyson representative, Anetta Young.
The check presentation took place Monday afternoon at the Samaritan Community Center in Rogers, where the Snack Pack program is also located.
The Snack-Pack program helps deliver food to local kids in need, and serves more than 90 schools and head start centers across Northwest Arkansas.
