Gwinnett Daily Post
R.A. Gant's father owned Norcross' cotton store, situated a stone's throw from the railroad tracks that still split the quaint downtown area. It also sat alongside the hardware store operated by Roy Carlyle.
An accomplished baseball player himself, Carlyle was famous for his 618-foot home run, the longest tape-measured shot in baseball history back in 1929. The Norcross native reached the major leagues, as did his brother Cleo and another set of brothers raised in Gwinnett County, Ivey and Red Wingo.
Carlyle's store was where men from the baseball-crazed town gathered to talk about the sport. The town's local team, which played games a block away beneath a tall ridge that flattens out just enough for a field (it is now Lillian Webb Park), was a powerhouse and typically dominated the conversations.
Gant, now 83, remembers those chats well. He worked for Carlyle for 10 years as a wide-eyed youngster who happened to grow up in a town that produced four major-leaguers in the first half of the 20th century.
The now deceased Wingo brothers -- slated for posthumous induction into the Gwinnett County Sports Hall of Fame at today's Gwinnett Braves game -- were among the visitors to Carlyle's store. Ivey Wingo retired to Norcross after a 17-year big-league career, and Red came back for the occasional visit.
A young Gant took it all in.
"All his knuckles were swollen up like somebody with arthritis, but I figured that's where the ball hit him from catching all of those games," Gant said of Ivey, who caught a National League record 1,231 games between 1911 and 1929. "I always thought he was a pretty good sort of fellow. I remember he told me the most he ever made in a season was $10,000, which was a heap of money back then."
Despite that money and the status of a pro athlete, Ivey Wingo wasn't really treated like a celebrity back home, Gant said. He was just one of the guys, the Wingo brother who came back to settle down in his native Norcross.
His younger brother Red didn't return as frequently, opting to live in Detroit, where he played the bulk of his major-league ball. That wide divide split the Wingo family into two sects that never really bonded because of the vast distance between them.
That will change some today when some of the brothers' relatives, who have never met in person, will celebrate their baseball heritage in the county where they learned to play.
The ballground
The long-running Norcross Old Timers Baseball Association -- the group dedicated to preserving the town's baseball heritage -- has its own hall of fame display in city hall that is packed with stories on the Wingos' feats.
Both brothers honed their skills at what locals called "the ballground," the field that spawned Norcross' astonishing run of major-league talent.
"There were two recreation areas growing up in Norcross back then, the ball field and the Chattahoochee River," said 76-year-old Carl Garner, also a former Norcross player whose father Carl Sr. is pictured in a 1916 Norcross team photo with Red Wingo. "We all just grew up with baseball. We loved baseball."
Ivey was born in Gainesville, but moved to Norcross as a teenager with his family. Red, Ivey's junior by nearly eight years, was born in Norcross. The brothers, part of eight siblings, were born to different mothers, but had the same father.
They shared a similar love of baseball, red hair and freckled faces. Red was slightly taller and stockier, though not by much at 5-foot-11, 180 pounds to Ivey's 5-10, 160. Both batted left-handed and threw right-handed.
While Red grew into a major-league outfielder, Ivey spent nearly all of his career as a catcher. Both were pretty mobile, though, and Ivey once stole 18 bases in his prime. He also legged out 81 career triples, including 11 in each of the 1916 and 1917 seasons.
"My father was in the Marines in World War I and he was stationed in Boston, so he got to watch Ivey play (in the majors) there," Garner said. "He was a great ballplayer. If you look at Ivey's records against some other catchers, it seems like he should be in the Hall of Fame (in Cooperstown)."
Ivey's life cut short
Baseball consumed nearly all of Ivey Wingo's life, from his grade-school days to the end of his life.
He first ventured well outside of Norcross to play with Greenville of the Carolina Association in 1909, when he was just 18. His play there earned a shot with the St. Louis Cardinals, who watched him grow from bullpen catcher to starter. Between the 1913 and 1914 seasons, he was part of a baseball tour that traveled the world and eventually returned to the U.S. via the Lusitania, the ship famously sunk by the Germans in 1915.
Ivey Wingo was traded later to Cincinnati, where he played the last 13 of his big-league seasons. He still holds the dubious record of most career errors by a catcher (234, with 20 or more errors in five different seasons), many of those reportedly from his strong-armed throws into center field. He hit over .300 in his career just once and didn't have much home run power, but was a steady offensive force.
He won a championship after the controversial 1919 World Series, catching three games for the Reds in their victory over the Chicago White Sox. The '19 series is remembered for the Black Sox Scandal, which saw eight Chicago players banned for life for throwing the series. Wingo was 4-for-7 (.571) with three walks, good for a .700 on-base percentage, in that series.
After playing regularly with the Reds through 1926, Wingo bounced around from playing and coaching in the latter stages of his career. He played his final season, a short stint with the Atlanta Crackers, as a 39-year-old in 1930.
He was married in 1916 to Mattie Jones, and the two eventually moved back to Norcross, where they both grew up. Their house was where the First Baptist Church of Norcross is now.
"(Mattie) went with him a to a lot of places and spent a lot of time at ballparks, with the other players' wives," said Buford resident Michelle Morgan, Ivey Wingo's great-granddaughter.
Unfortunately, Wingo's post-baseball life didn't last long.
He became ill and died in 1941 at the age of 50. The cause of death was never reported, though most who remember seeing him during that time feel it was emphysema or cancer. Gant remembers him coughing badly throughout his final years of life.
One of the last times he saw his younger brother Red came in the hospital, according to Jim Wingo, Red's grandson.
"My mom told me the story, that Ivey took his pack of cigarettes and the look on his face was like, 'This is what did it to me,'" Jim Wingo said. "My grandfather smoked a lot, too. He smoked Camels unfiltered and a pipe for as long as I can remember."
Ivey Wingo's widow, known by locals at "Miss Mattie," remained in Norcross after his death with the couple's only son, Bill. She lived there until her death in 1990 at the age of 93.
Ivey is buried in the old Norcross Cemetery, with a simple gravestone that says "Ivey B. Wingo" and makes no mention of his famous baseball career. Its inscription also brings to light a mystery about the spelling of his first name. Some say it's "Ivey," others say "Ivy."
"I don't really know what's right," Garner said. "Miss Mattie must have put (Ivey) on his tombstone, and she would know how to spell it."
Red's different path
The younger of the major-league Wingo brothers was born in Norcross, spending all of his formative years playing for the town's teams.
That experience earned Red Wingo a spot with the Atlanta Crackers, but he played just the 1918 season there before making his major league debut with the Philadelphia Athletics in 1919 at the age of 21. He didn't stick in the majors, so he spent two more seasons in Atlanta and two with Toronto of the International League.
From there, he played five solid major league seasons with the Detroit Tigers. He was a career .308 hitter in the bigs, aided by a 1925 season when he hit .370 and had 34 doubles, 10 triples and 68 RBIs. Along with Ty Cobb and Harry Heilmann, he was part of the only outfield in major league history to have all three members hit .370 or higher in the same season.
Wingo hit .285 in 1928, his final season in the majors. He played four more seasons in the minors for four teams -- San Francisco of the Pacific Coast League, Chattanooga of the Southern Association, Scranton of the New York-Pennsylvania League and Toronto again -- before his retirement.
He made his home in Detroit, the site of his big-league prosperity, and worked for Ford Motor Company for years. He and his wife Grace had two sons who played minor league baseball but never got to the majors.
Jim Wingo spent countless hours with his grandfather as a child, though he didn't talk much about his pro baseball past. He did help Jim with his hitting one little league season, and that resulted in an .833 batting average.
"He really didn't talk about baseball much," Jim Wingo said of Red. "He was the patriarchal father. My mother called him a Southern gentleman. I know he really loved Ivey. My mother told me when Ivey died that Red went to bed for two weeks. He mourned that way."
Red Wingo was still in good health when he died in a 1964 car accident. Just 66 at the time, he was hit from behind, thrown from his car and pinned under another vehicle.
"He went too soon," Jim Wingo said. "It was really a blow to us. He really was the golden god of the family. He just had that certain magnetism that we all liked."
Wingo is buried in Detroit's prestigious Woodlawn Cemetery, where the city's elite residents have been buried for years, including auto manufacturing families, Motown greats and civil rights legend Rosa Parks.
Coming back together
Jim Wingo, now 59, was born two years after his uncle Ivey passed away and admitted his interaction with that branch of his family has been brief.
He recalls just one trip to the Deep South when he was 3 or 4 years old to stay with his aunt Annabelle, one of Red and Ivey's sisters. Since Red and his family lived in Detroit and Ivey passed away so young, the brothers' families lived separate lives in different parts of the country.
Most of Ivey's family stayed in Georgia, including his grandson, who lives in Blairsville, and Morgan, his granddaughter in Buford. Because of the proximity, they are very familiar with how their grandfather grew up and began his baseball career.
"It's really cool to know (Ivey played in the majors)," Morgan said. "It's especially nice to have two guys in the same family do it."
Unlike Ivey's family, Jim Wingo and his brother John spent their life in Michigan. They heard about Norcross, but knew little about the place their grandfather grew up. They didn't talk frequently with their family in Georgia, either.
But they plan to make up for lost time this weekend. Both Jim and John Wingo will scour Norcross and its baseball hall of fame this weekend for a memorable trip that will end with Red Wingo's induction into the Gwinnett hall of fame.
They will share the honor with Ivey's family, reuniting the families of two brothers who last saw each other in 1941.
"I'm a little bit anxious, but I'm excited," Jim Wingo said. "I don't know who we're going to meet besides Michelle Morgan, Ivey's great granddaughter. We're planning to go to Norcross, to city hall to see all the things we can about Red and Ivey. We're looking forward to learning a lot while we're there."

There has been an increasing popularity in outdoor bathrooms. There the weather is cold or warm; people enjoy having an outdoor bathroom. They are airy and an opportunity to take advantage of decorating – this is very appealing toward people who commonly spend time entertaining in their back yard and also common among people who have a pool. This is a great way to even enjoy a bath while enjoying the elements of nature at the same time.
Some Bathroom Design Ideas
If you are having a difficult time designing and decorating your bathroom, here are a few design ideas that will help you in decorating yours. The first thing that you should do is attempt to design your outdoor bathroom open, and the concept should be close to nature being that it is a more fitting design. An open bathroom will make you feel comfortable as your gazing at the sky and while bathing. It will also allow you to take in fresh air that travels inside the bathing area.
There are various bathtubs and vanities available that would be fitting for your outside bathroom. There are simple ones and elegant ones, depending on the look that you're going for. Start looking for inspiration online at well known bathroom stores such as premiervanities.com. It is advised that you keep in mind the space that is available and how much money you want to spend on the area. The color palette that you choose for our outdoor bathroom should always blend in with areas nearby, and if you have trees and plants close to the outdoor bathroom you should choose the colors that complement them. Go for greens and blues or bright oranges.
For the outdoor bathroom flooring, you should select a brick or stone finish. Gray and white can be used to block off the boundaries around the shower area. The color tiles can be laid out in different combinations and used to highlight the spaces. Lighting is an essential element that you're going to contemplate; you can do solar-powered lights on the ground and the sidewalk to make it a little bit more mesmerizing. You can also decorate the bathroom with delicate plants and ferns.
The great thing about an outdoor bathroom is that when you are entertaining guests outside, they won't have to come in and all crowd in one or two bathrooms. They can take advantage of the outdoor one and it's also a way to spark up a conversation with someone who takes an interest in the way that you have designed it. These are capable of creating while you are on a budget and there are many ways that you can cut down the costs of things.
Consider the benefits that you would reap from it and make the decision accordingly. Most of the people who set up an outside bathroom have only fantastic things to say about what it does for them and how convenient it is in certain circumstances. You can even set up an outdoor kitchen next to it where you can store your extra soda, glasses and plates. These two areas would work hand in hand with each other.

The Photo Album
With the Beatles, because where else can one find those sweet, sweet aoleonic cadences?
No, because, with the exception of the Christmas album, according to fans, seemingly everything since Love and Theft has been "the best thing he's done since Desire."
While it doesn't count as an official album, Dylan's Bootleg Series Vol. 5 serves as a better chronicle of the Rolling Thunder Revue tour than Hard Rain, although it's unfortunately missing "Stuck Inside of Mobile…"
Take It Away. It also has an amazing music video.
Cloud Nothings
Charlotte Gainsbourg – IRM
Caribou – "Lalibela"
Young Lust
Robbie Robertson's performance with the Roots on Fallon was a surprise standout for me this year. Far superior to the album version of "Straight Down the Line."
"Northern Lights" – St. Vincent

Succeeded by | Gwen Mahlangu-Nkabinde |
Personal details | |
Born | 24 September 1949 Transvaal, South Africa |
Political party | African National Congress |
Spouse(s) | Keorapetse Kgositsile |
Baleka Mbete (born 24 September 1949), also known as Baleka Mbete-Kgositsile, is a South African politician who was Deputy President of South Africa from 2008 to 2009. She was previously Speaker of the National Assembly of South Africa from 2004 to 2008.
She was elected National Chairperson of the ANC in 2007 and reelected in 2012.[1]
She received a teacher's certificate from Lovedale Teachers' College and taught in Durban.
After going into exile Mbete taught in Mbabane, and went on to work for the African National Congress in several other African cities including Dar es Salaam, Nairobi, Gaborone, Harare, and Lusaka.
She led the Medu Art Ensemble, was the secretary-general of ANC Women's League from 1991 to 1993, and the Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of South Africa from 1996 to 2004.
Mbete was a member of the Presidential Panel on the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, the ANC National Executive Committee,[2] and the Pan-African Parliament.
In 2007 Mbete became the ANC's national chairperson.[3]
Mbete is a shareholder in Dyambu Holdings[4] which is involved in building the massive Gautrain public transport project in the province Gauteng. Dyambu Holdings is reported to have had links with murdered magnate Brett Kebble.[5]
In April 1997, Mbete was found to have received an improperly issued driver's license but not charged with any wrongdoing.[6] This after investigators uncover widespread corruption in Mpumalanga regional driving license testing centers, where licenses are being issued in exchange for bribes.[7] Mbete said that she had been "too busy" to stand in queues.[8]
In 2007, Mbete suspended DA member Mike Waters after he attempted to ask what was being done about the Manto Tshabalala-Msimang scandal.[9] Waters had asked about a reported conviction for theft of the Minister of Health, while the latter had been a nurse in Botswana.
Mbete was one of more than 200 South African parliamentarians found to have misused subsidised travel privileges in the Travelgate scandal. She is reported to have paid back all moneys due in the liquidation of the travel agency formerly providing services to parliament.
In 2006, Mbete chartered a jet at a cost of R471 900 (around US$60 000) to fly to Liberia for the inauguration of Ellen Johnson Sirleaf as president. The only other passenger on the plane was a member of her staff. Then president Thabo Mbeki and foreign minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma also travelled to the inauguration – Mbeki in his private plane and Dlamini-Zuma by commercial flight.[10]
She has been a staunch supporter of Tony Yengeni, a former ANC Chief Whip in parliament, who was convicted of defrauding parliament in 2004, even accompanying Yengeni to Pollsmoor Prison when he reported to serve his sentence.[11]
She is currently being investigated for bribery, investigators from the securities exchange in the United States believe that the R25 million stake she received from the granting of a licence to mining company, Goldfields constituted a bribe.
Deputy President[edit]
On 20 September 2008, the African National Congress formally asked President Thabo Mbeki to resign as President of South Africa. Mbete accepted Mbeki's resignation on 21 September.
Before 22 September, Mbete was speculated to succeed Mbeki as President, which would have made her the first female head of state in South Africa's history; however, the ANC announced that Kgalema Motlanthe, the Deputy President of the ANC, would assume that position. On 23 September, Mbete was announced by the SABC to be the most likely candidate for Deputy President of South Africa following Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka's resignation from the position,[12] even though other reports had stated that Lindiwe Sisulu would assume that position.
On 25 September 2008, she was appointed by Motlanthe as Deputy President.[13] On 10 May 2009 she was replaced as Deputy President by incoming President Jacob Zuma, who elected to appoint Motlanthe as his deputy.[1]

Forums >Technical Support>Handy runner
I love the site and the app but it seems every other time I run and it prompts me to save I lose my entire workout. I have been sending the error reports. any suggestions?
HandyRunner is apparently at end-of-life. Check out this previous thread.
I would run down the lane and into the night; Run so fast I swear my feet would fly; But the smell of the world came into my lungs; The sound of the gravel when my legs went numb; And my heart nearly burst right out of my chest...

Heritage Rose Garden
The San Jose Heritage Rose Garden (HRG) is a unique collection of 3,600 antique and modern roses. Established in 1995 through an extensive community effort, the garden contains 2,600 varieties, more varieties than any other rose garden in the Western Hemisphere. The garden is open daily from dawn to dusk and there is no admission charge. Docent-led tours for pre-scheduled groups can be arranged.
While the City of San Jose supplies materials, it is maintained primarily by volunteers! Projects vary with the time of the year, but come join them every Saturday and Wednesday 8:30 to 11:30 am. The Conservancy also hosts special summer evening sessions on the second Tuesdays of June through September from 5:30pm-7:30pm. Click here to see the calendar.

Wow: Little Kids Firing Automatic Weapons
This video is old. Old as anything else that was filmed in 2005. But I hadn't seen it until now, and it's awesome. Awesome in a "holy shit, four-year olds are blowing up cars with automatic weapons" kind of way. Make sure you have the volume down on your speakers, it gets kind of loud. The video was taken during "Oklahoma Full Auto Shoot", an annual event in which kids with no motor skills destroy things with automatic weapons. Just watch it. I love how at 0:14 when the car starts rolling and the kids start firing at it, you understand just how dangerous a weapon is in the hands of a child. Now I'm not sure how many people typically die at this awesome annual event, but if I had to guess I'd say oh my God they're training these kids to be in a militia.

If you happen to own a Kobo e-book reader, chances are you might have fret a whole lot upon hearing that Borders have filed for Chapter 11 some time back, and will be closing its doors sometime down the road. After all, Kobo's e-book reader will receive downloads of e-books from Borders itself, so with the impending doom of Borders, does this mean the Kobo device in your hands would be rendered as an expensive paperweight? Not quite, as Kobo has announced that they will be transferring customers over from Borders-specific accounts to Kobo's very own e-book store, giving you access to more or less all the same books, apart from being up to speed with the latest apps and features.
That is certainly a relief to hear that your investment (e-book readers aren't exactly an impulse purchase, even though they do not cost anywhere near a grand, but money is still money, especially in the current economic climate) will not be rendered as obsolete anytime soon. If you own a Kobo, would you want to jump ship to a different manufacturer, or will you stick to your guns?

Marriage Visa
Marriage Petition
Marriage is one of the most important steps one takes in his or her life. And with the increasing global interaction, there are more and more marriages among U.S. citizens and foreigners. Accordingly, it is crucial to hire an experienced and knowledgeable immigration attorney to handle your marriage petition. An Orlando K3 marriage visa attorney from NeJame, LaFay, Jancha, Ahmed, Barker, Joshi and Moreno, P.A. can assist you in this regard.
The Immigration and Nationality Act permits either a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident alien to petition for a spouse.
Whether your foreign spouse is in the U.S. or abroad, there are basically two steps involved. First, the U.S. Citizen or permanent resident alien must file a marriage petition with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The petition must be accompanied by appropriate supporting documentation, including but not limited to, filing fees, marriage certificate, and proof of the bona fides of the marriage. The USCIS must approve the marriage petition.
Second, the alien spouse must apply for permanent residency. If the petitioning spouse is a U.S. citizen, then he or she need not wait for a visa to become available. If abroad, the alien spouse can apply for an Immigrant Visa at the local U.S. consulate once the approved petition is sent there. If the alien spouse is in the U.S., he or she can apply for adjustment of status in the U.S.
If the petitioning spouse is a permanent resident alien, then the visa will be subject to a quota and the alien spouse must wait for a visa number to become available. This is regardless of whether the alien spouse is in the U.S. or abroad. Once the visa becomes available, then the alien spouse can apply for adjustment of status in the U.S. or for an immigrant visa abroad.
CAUTION: The above is a basic description of the marriage visa process. In addition to the above, the alien must overcome all grounds of inadmissibility. Before filing a visa petition for your spouse, it is crucial to consult with an experienced Immigration Attorney. A Central Florida marriage visa lawyer from NeJame Law can discuss these various grounds with you.
K-3 Visa
The K-3 visa is a vital tool for uniting an American citizen with his foreign spouse quickly. Subsequent to filing a marriage petition, the U.S. Citizen spouse can follow with a K-3 visa petition, which permits the alien spouse to enter the United States while the initial marriage petition is pending. The K-3 petition is filed by the U.S. Citizen with the USCIS. After approval, the foreign spouse obtains the K-3 visa at the U.S. Consulate abroad.
Upon entry into the United States, the spouse can file to adjust his or her status to a lawful permanent resident. Thus, by coming to the United States on the K-3, your spouse can avoid the delay of waiting for the Permanent Residency Visa at the U.S. consulate.
Contact our Immigration Attorneys
Our Orlando immigration K3 marriage visa attorneys are knowledgeable and available to assist with all your immigration needs including a K3 visa or a marriage petition. Call us today at 407-245-1232. You may also send us an e-mail at firstname.lastname@example.com or fill out our online form. We will be honored to have you as a client and assist you with your immigration needs.

Thou shalt remove the Ten Commandments from Narrows High School
The Giles County school board today voted to remove the Ten Commandments from a school wall in Narrows High School.
The decision comes in the face of an almost certain federal court ruling against the board and costly plaintiffs' attorneys fees they could have to pay if they had lost the case.
My colleague Laurence Hammack has that story here.
What do you think? Did the board do the right thing? Why or why not?

Talk:French phrasebook
From Wikitravel
Maybe we should use standard phonetics instead ? (but hard to represent with ASCII characters sometimes). -- Mathieu 22:55, 13 Nov 2003 (GMT +1).
Ronline, I'm not sure I agree about some pronounciations. I think that "é" is usually pronounced as "ay" in "hay," though perhaps slightly shorter (think of né and countless other verbs conjugated in the passé composé ... also look at the pronounciation for "désolé(e)" given in the phrasebook.)
- I'm actually responding to the question in your summary. No, there's not a standard for pronunciation, and I'm afraid we're going to run into trouble with this. The way an Irishman or Australian would say "hay" sounds very different from the way a Canadian or American would say it. I'm still kind of flummoxed on this issue -- suggestions are very much welcome. I've thought about using IPA or SAMPA, but they're both kind of hard to learn and use. It'd be nice to find a pronunciation format that's precise yet intuitive for casual readers. -- Evan 09:26, 4 Nov 2003 (PST)
- Including Ogg or Speex files, spoken by native speakers, could be a solution. Then the way the pronunciation is written isn't anymore of utmost importance. Oh, and I think _the_ way to recognize anglophone people speaking French is their way of pronouncing the "é"s as "ay" :) Guaka 14:21, 4 Nov 2003 (PST)
- And we do tend to mess up the genders of nouns as well.. but yeah, it's really hard for us to avoid using the dipthong, just as it's hard to explain to a fellow english speaker that it's the first half of the ay sound without the dipthong y part at the end. I guess in french one would spell the english version éill, or something like that.. :) -- UchuHa 11:33, 5 Nov 2003 (CET)

Remember "the stack"--the layers of software and architecture that ran your back-end systems? Mobile has turned it on its head. It's time to adapt.
Remember when IT bosses obsessed about "the stack"--the myriad layers of software and tech architecture that drove a company's back-end systems and technology needs?
The Internet, of course, turned the stack on its head--as did the more recent, massive boom in mobile technologies. As a result, the need for tech managers to deploy and customize the right apps, tools, cloud services, and other solutions to match organizational and employee needs has never been more important. Today's mobile knowledge workers want access to all their data at any time, in any place, and on any device.
This has big consequences for CEOs. Typical business IT has shifted away from managing a highly controlled base of tools and hardware to the BYOD era in which it must support a wide array of devices running on different operating systems. This requires a change in attitude from the old-school device management towards a new concept of user management (something my company focuses on). That means you must focus less on command-and-control and more on optimization of behavior to help employees get stuff done with all those cool new tools.
So what does the new "mobile stack" look like? It's a nascent enterprise, of course, but growing quickly. Here's a look at its critical layers:
Basic Services
The foundation layer of the mobile stack should manage basic elements of your company's mobility program.
Risk Management
Risk-management and compliance programs are critical as more sensitive data is stored on mobile devices and in the cloud.
Productivity Tools
A cluster of new apps and tools are helping people do more with their phones: Make these tools the core of your company mobile platform.
Strategy and Optimization
At the top of the new stack should be a focus on efficiency and strategy. You need to measure and optimize your mobility program to get the most out of it.
Todays' enterprise mobile market resembles an alphabet soup of competing tools, all promising to be the be-all-end-alls. Instead of thinking about these tools as being better than one another, think about how to pick the right combination to have the new mobile stack align best to your business.

And where is the assumption that a publisher won't get paid coming from? When AdLinks leads to a second page of ads, the publisher IS being paid for the generated lead for any clicks from that page. Why would this be any different?
OddSod, I haven't seen the "Show more" hyperlink, but the OP made it seem as if it was a small link off to the corner (not necessarily killing one of the four ads).

Javaris Crittendon out on bail, at club with "a ton of hot chicks"
Javaris Crittendon is due in court later this month on charges he shot and killed Julian Jones last September in Georgia. Until that trial begins, while maintaining his innocence, Crittendon has been frequenting the LA nightclub scene. TMZ snapped this picture earlier this week, while reporting the following:
From the way ex-NBA star Javaris Crittenton was partying in L.A. this weekend ... with a TON of hot chicks ... you'd never believe it's been almost a year since he was charged with murder.
The 24-year-old was outside Blok nightclub in Hollywood with at least 4 smokin' hot lady friends ... where he told us, "Everything is great man ... God is great."
This weekend, Javaris still maintained his innocence ... telling us, "Legal issues ... I don't usually speak on ... but standing right here before you ... thank god for that ... innocent man."
Javaris says he's still training for the NBA and believes a comeback is in his future.
Hopefully for his sake he's right. Maybe he is innocent and an NBA comeback is a viable option. If he does end up going away for a while though, hanging in Hollywood for the time being with "at least 4 smokin hot lady friends" is probably a good use of his time.

Derek Thompson's article in The Atlantic about Rep. Ryan's budget proposal lacks key aspects of critical analysis.
1. The article implies that only the federal government can provide certain levels of government support.
Derek wrote: It [Ryan's Plan] would leave nothing for infrastructure. Nothing for unemployment insurance. Nothing for food stamps.
We have states, cities, and other local governments that can provide many of these programs, maybe even better than the federal government too. In fact, many Americans, to include me, feel that charities and other private organizations are best equipped to help the needy.
2. Derek missed Ryan's point, even as he put a chart together that perfectly showed Ryan's point. The chart comparing Ryan's plan as compared to 1950 demonstrates the destructive path of social spending. A different perspective could be to argue that Medicare and Social Security (even in Ryan's "extreme right-wing" plan) will still be 12% of GDP.
3) Also, the article assumes that effective government has to be equal or greater than the previous year, say 14% of GDP. Why? Every other organization in this country tries to cut costs in unproductive programs. Yet, every single government agency needs to grow year-over-year?
4) And finally, what about having Ryan's plan as compared to President Obama's plan to help get our deficit under control?
You may not agree with Representative Ryan, but at least he's proposing real reform. The reality is that our government is cashing checks that my grandkids (and I don't have any yet) can't write. At some point in time, Americans will need to reduce government spending.
Wow! Here are the Presidential fundraising totals for February:
Where does this money go? And who's buying votes? Wouldn't you rather a candidate not raise this type of money?
It's not that raising money is bad. It's just that the totals seem a little ridiculous. Especially if all the candidates do is spend money on: crappy advertising, useless polls, mercenariy advisors, and lavish travel arrangements. Worse, it seems like all this fundraising is being spent on more fundraising. Sad.
75% of kids complete high school but that's not really important. Hypothetically, we could give every kid a diploma when they turn 18. Does that mean our kids are smarter?
While it's good that more kids are graduating, it's more important to compare like data. For example, are we to assume the standards for a diploma in 1950 are the same as in 2009?
According to the article the goal was to not educate but to graduate:
New York educators attribute overall improvements to a sharper focus on high-needs districts and a stronger commitment to getting diplomas into the hands of all students.
I believe this article was more about getting money from the taxpayers:
Teachers, meanwhile, worry that hard-won gains in graduation rates amid some of the nation's toughest graduation requirements are at risk of being undone by budget challenges that have led to layoffs and bigger class sizes.
Class size may or may not be relevant to the graduation rate. However, this article glosses over that point but instead touts graduation rate gains then threats of impending graduation rate losses if money demands aren't met.
This is hormonal birth control. As you can see on the box, you take exactly one pill per day. To make sure it works, you need to take one pill every day at the same time, or it stops working. You take only one pill, and you keep taking them regardless of what you are doing that day. Hormonal…

Rush was wrong for being derogatory. Qualifying statement done. Now let's address this post line-by-line. (My notes are in parenthesis.)
She [Fluke] testified before a small, Democrat-led hearing after she was cut out of the actual birth control/insurance discussion (the real hearing was about religion and Barry Lynn was supposed to speak) . Her testimony was about a friend of hers who, because her insurance did not cover birth control, lost an ovary due to an ovarian cyst (Who is this friend, the reason government needs to mandate a new law for all citizens?).
This somehow translates into "I, myself, personally, am having so much sex I can't afford birth control, and so I want the government to pay for it." (Rush was wrong to shift the argument to sex.)
This is wrong for multiple reasons.
More of my thoughts:
From my perspective this issue is all about liberty and freedom. I'm baffled that free citizens petition Congress to have someone else pay for their goods, whatever they be.
There are commons, things everyone shares equally: national defense, police, roads. But health is very personal and some citizens need more or less base on millions of criteria. An McD's, smoker, that plays dangerous extreme sports needs more health care than me. Why should I pay for this guys activities?
The idea that government mandates we buy health insurance then mandates those same insurance companies cover a specific ailment smacks of ignorance. Is the government going to make a book of illnesses that communally we pay for for via increased insurance? What are things we don't expect our insurance to cover: hair transplants, massage, Jenny Craig, etc? When does it stop?
Contraception is in essence about preventing pregnancies. Agreed? At some point in the future we free humans have to assume some level of personal responsibility. Many of us are drawing that line here. We're tired of mandates on top of mandates, especially when it comes to our bodies.
If you want to take the pill, fine, just pay for it, don't use the power of governmental law to force us to join in with you.
Somehow this came across my life and it saddens me.

Martin County firefighter back home
Martin County firefighter Jahwann McIntyre returns home.
When the scorching flames licked the prone body of Martin County firefighter Jahwann
McIntyre, who was suffering from smoke inhalation, the rookie thought there was no way out.
"At one point, I thought to myself, 'This is it,' "
McIntyre, 23, said of the Dec. 27 arson fire that burned him and injured three other firefighters. "I thought I was done. But my mom crossed my mind. My mom gave me the strength and courage to continue to fight and get up and get out."
He stumbled and fell on the second floor of the burning home at 1151 S.W. Blue Water Way, trying to feel his way out as inky, black smoke obscured his vision. His fellow firefighters heard him moving around and carried him out of the burning building.
On Friday, McIntyre was released from the University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital burn center after nearly five months of treatment that included eight surgeries and many hours of therapy.
The motocross enthusiast plans to celebrate Mother's Day with his mom, Ann McIntyre.
"I'm free," said McIntyre, posing with his discharge papers at the Miami hospital. "Mom, y'all hurry up. Let's go before they (doctors) change their minds."
McIntyre's mother said she doesn't mind cooking this Mother's Day. The menu includes macaroni and cheese and chicken wings, McIntyre's favorite foods.
"It's the best Mother's Day gift I could ever receive," she said.
The first-year firefighter's release comes after the state Fire Marshal's Office on Wednesday released its report of the fire in Stuart. Investigators have determined the fire was deliberately set.
The report states the temperature in the fire was high enough to melt metal and glass in a bedroom.
McIntyre could not provide details of the fire because it remains under internal investigation at Martin County Fire Rescue.
The Martin County Sheriff's Office in January charged the home's former owner, Joseph Haas, 47, of Lake Park, with second-degree attempted murder and arson in connection with the blaze that injured McIntyre and firefighters Scott Cannon, Scott Risk and Garrett Smith.
Haas is being held at the Martin County Jail in lieu of $1.5 million bail.
"What he did was wrong," Ann McIntyre said of Haas. "He committed a heinous crime. And as a result, my son got injured. I think he's getting what he deserved."
Haas said during his Jan. 24 arrest he didn't mean for anyone to get hurt.
Asked whether he accepted the apology of the arson suspect, McIntyre said: "Absolutely. I have nothing to hold on to."
McIntyre's physician, Dr. Carl Schulman, said the firefighter, who sustained burns on his hands, legs, arms, torso and feet, is adjusting to being able to sit upright.
He's had to relearn basic things, such as washing his hands, brushing his teeth, shaking hands and walking, Schulman said.
After leaving the intensive care unit, he had physical therapy from 9 a.m. to noon Monday through Friday. Then, a Saturday workout was added. He expected to continue therapy five days a week at St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach.
"You have to fight through the pain," McIntyre said of physical rehabilitation. "Think about what's at the end of the tunnel and that's being 100 percent healthy and going back to work."
After being discharged from the hospital, McIntyre was greeted by firefighters from the Miami-Dade and city of Miami Fire Rescue departments and was given a ceremonial ride away from the hospital in a fire truck.
On the Treasure Coast, McIntyre's first stop was his fire station, No. 23, at Kanner Highway and Indian Street. It was the first time he was at his second home since his station received the 2:19 a.m. Dec. 27 alarm for the fire at the home in western Martin County.
One of his conversations at Station 23 was with firefighters Cannon and Risk. Details of the talk were not made public.
"It felt really good to see them," McIntyre said, after leaving the station.
From the station he went to his family's Port St. Lucie home, where he was met with blue, black and white balloons and a group of neighbors, family and friends. Blue and black are the colors of his 2008 Dodge Charger, which he calls his baby.
"I just want to see if I can still get in it," McIntyre said, pushing the seat back and sitting down and placing his feet on the pedals.

Just Desserts...and wine-Calgary
We're having a late evening visit with some friends from out of town and we're hoping to head out for a couple glasses of wine and some dessert. We'd like to stick around 17th. Any suggestions?
I thought maybe Vin Room or Jaro Blue, but I've never had dessert at either.
Vin Room
2310-4th St SW, Calgary, AB T2S 1X2, CA
The wine selection at vin room is great, but the desserts are definitely not the main attraction. check the menu online if you want
http://www.vinroom.com/menus/dessert-...If you want a truly decadent dessert, I'll second John's recommendations of Cilantro and Brava Bistro - Love both of those spots.
Jaro Blue is an excellent resto but desserts are not their strong point.
You might consider Una Pizza and Wine (small dessert menu but I love what I've had there), Living Room, Cilantro, Milk Tiger, Brava Bistro.

I'm using Premier Elements 8 on a Windows 7 PC. I am setting up my disc menus for 10 scenes, all with a Motion Menu Button. I have successfully setup the three of the 10 scenes but the other 7 are blank/dark. I have tried changing the thumbnail offset by entering a value and by scrubbing but it's still blank. What am I doing wrong?
With all those motion menus going at once, it's possible that it's too much for your computer to create the preview on the fly. So you can go ahead and burn your DVD and see if the final result looks good.
Although 10 scenes on one menu page -- all playing little loops of video? That's a lot of movement!
Have you tried turning off the motion menu feature for the thumbnails to see if that makes all of the scene thumbnails visible?
I burned the DVD, no luck. I've tried switching to a different template (currently using the Hollywood Theatre Marquee with the searchlights) and no luck. I have the 10 scenes split between two pages, the first page has three motion buttons that work, two that don't. The second page all five buttons are blank, even if I turn off the motion button.
Somethings is wrong somewhere, Winslow. And, well, we can't ignore the possiblity that it may be related to the fact that you're using a four year old version of the program on Windows 7, an operating system it was never designed to work on. It also doesn't help that you're using one of the less successful versions of the program. (Although be sure to go to Help/Check for Updates and ensure you at least have the version 8 patch.) But you may want to consider upgrading to version 11 -- one of the best versions Adobe has produced in some time.
Meantime, what model of camcorder is your video coming from and what format and resolution is it? How did you get the video onto your computer?
When you started your Premiere Elements project, which project settings did you select?
OK, with 2 Scene Selection Sub-Menus, that probably takes my first thought off the table.
I was concerned that you have done custom Buttons, and had 10 on the same Menu. As no element of a Button (described as a rectangle, including every element, plus a few pixels) may overlap any part of another Button. Not the case here though, as you are letting PrE do the necessary navigation.
Now, one thing that cause similar to what you describe, and that is having Chapter Markers too close to one another. Are you Chapter Markers pretty spread out on your Timeline? If you have any concerns about the spacing, just post a screen-cap of your Timeline, showing the Chapter Markers, and someone can rule that out. Actually, that screen-cap might show up other possibilities, so I would attach one to your Reply (via the little "camera" icon).
As a tip, when authoring a DVD, I do several things to test the Project:
Good luck,
Steve/Hunt - thanks for your suggestions. I checked the spacing of the scene and stop markers and spread them out a little more, and that didn't seem to solve the problem.
I shot the video using a Canon PowerShot camera and then uploaded them onto my PC using the Canon uploader. The files were originally shot as .MOV files, and then I convertered them to .AVI files using PrE8. I then created one new project with all the movies in the project. I did this so I could create a DVD with multiple movies on one disc.
The project settings are NTSC-DV_Standard 48kHz.
As I mentioned before it just seems weird that if I manually enter in a thumbnail offset value it doesn't show the frame that is referenced in the parameters.
Not sure if this is related but also if you look at the screen shot attached, there is the Poster Frame section and the parameters for the In Point do not match the picture there. It is giving me a parameter towards the end of the movie (23;20;20;06) but it's a shot towards the very beginning.
Thanks for the suggestion to upgrade to PrE 11, I may try that in the near future.
Appreciate all the help. Whatever else you can suggest please do, I don't plan on spending much more time trying to resolve the issue.
I do not use PrE to author DVD's (Adobe Encore, instead), but I seem to recall that there is a Marker spacing minimum. For some reason, 04 sec. jumps into my mind, but I could be very wrong there. For an NTSC Project, that would mean ~ 120 Frames, between them.
As a test, do a Save_As, changing the name, to something like "Test," so as to not affect your Project. The new one will be open in PrE. Now, remove that ending Stop Marker. Randomly drag your Chapter/Menu Markers, so that they are spread out a lot more. Set any Offset to 0. Preview that Project, to see if things have changed.
Good luck,
PS - I am off to look over Steve Grisetti's PrE book, and the authoring chapter, to see if maybe I am missing something in your screen-cap.
Hunt - problem solved! Here's what happened -
I deleted the very last Stop Marker and spread out the other markers. No difference.
Setting the offset to zero for each Scene Marker was the key and also figured out that if I dragged to scrub the offset I could choose the image for each Motion Button. I guess the key learning is that the offset parameter is not what is listed in the overall timeline, but starts at zero with each Scene Marker. Perhaps this is specific to only Scene Markers?
So the menus all look the way I want to now. I burned a DVD and the menus work fine.
BTW - I positioned the markers as close to each other as I had before. added in the very last Stop Marker and everything still is ok.
Thanks for all your help!
Glad that you were able to get the Project working.
I would still omit the Stop Marker at the end of the Timeline, as it is not necessary, and having one has caused issues for many.
I had been working on a similar DVD to yours, but from one of my "test" Timelines. I had manually spread my Chapter Markers out along it, and Previewed. Then moved them closer and closer in some places. Still fine. I then did Offset, by the method that you describe - scrubbing, and it still worked. I had Stop Markers along with the Chapter Markers, to return to the Main Menu for each "Chapter." Still worked. I was unable to duplicate what you had seen, but then was working from my Timeline, so there WERE differences, but not sure what I was missing in my test, as I could not get the thumbnail display, that you had. Something was different, and then you beat me to the punch, by getting your Project to behave properly.
Do you think that it was the Offset, in your original Project, that caused the issue?
For me, it was a good exercise, because, as I stated, I use Adobe Encore, and not PrE to author, so I got some practice with authoring in PrE. There are some major differences between those two programs, though they DO share a bit of the same code. I also got to dust off Steve's PrE book, just to refresh my memory regarding authoring. Thanks for getting be back into PrE, and exploring its authoring capabilities, and getting me to revisit Muvipix Guide to PrE.
Thank you for reporting your success, and if all is well, you can then mark your thread as Answered - per this article: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1058744?tstart=0
Good luck,
Hunt, great to hear your feedback and experience. Yes, the Offset was the issue.
I did a little fiddling around with the original file where I had the problems and found this out:
The reason I was getting a blank/dark menu is that PrE treats each Scene Marker as a reset of the timecode to zero. Since the offset timecodes I was entering were off the main timeline, the menus after the first three had offsets that went beyond the end of the movie resulting in a blank screen.
For example let's my total movie length was 20 minutes. I have a Scene Marker on the overall timeline at 16 minutes and want my Motion Menu Button to capture at 00;16;05;00 (overall timeline). If the offset is set at 00;16;05;00 PrE is looking for the image at about 32 mins on the overall timeline (zero point at 16 mins on overall timeline plus the 16 mins. offset) which is beyond the end of the movie.
Another scenario I tried: Same movie as above but my Scene Marker is at 00;03;00;00 and I want a Motion Menu Button capture at 00;04;00;00. For the correct capture I need to set the Offset at 00;01;00;00. If I enter an Offset at 00;17;00;00 I will get an image right at the end of the movie (3 mins. + 17 mins. = 20 mins.). If I enter an Offset any greater than that I will get a blank screen as that is beyond the end of the movie.
