Acer Favors Chrome OS over Android
Netbooks with Google's Android aren't necessarily meeting Acer's expectations.
At the April 13 press release in Munich for Acer's notebook 2010 lineup, not a hint of Linux was to be seen. Last fall Acer still had the Aspire One D250 dual-boot netbook presented at its product show, and a few months before that, was hopeful about Android netbooks by late summer 2009.
"It (Android) doesn't run terribly well" was the assessment given to Linux Magazine by Robert Perenz, Acer's product manager for consumer notebooks in Germany. Nevertheless, Acer confirmed in March that there might be a successor to the Aspire One D260 with Android "still possible." Even in Munich the message was "away from Windows," but rather in the form of Chrome OS.
Working on the mid-2009 released Chrome OS, aside from Google, were Adobe, Asus, Freescale, HP, Lenovo, Qualcomm, Texas Instruments and Toshiba. Although not much is heard about Chrome OS these days, apart perhaps from third parties, things seem to be happening, as evidenced by recent site activity.

Bengals' DE situation muddled, intriguing
The Bengals' DE situation is one to watch once NFL play resumes.
The Bengals have re-signed reserve running back Bernard Scott, who missed all but two games last season because of injuries.||||||| The sixth-round draft pick from 2009 has started three games during his four seasons in Cincinnati. Last year, he suffered a hand injury during preseason, then an ankle injury that resulted in him going on the injured reserve list on Oct. 8. He carried eight times for 35 yards in his two games.
Scott will miss the rest of the season with an injured left knee suffered Sunday.||||||| Scott got hurt during a 17-13 loss to the Miami Dolphins when the leg bent awkwardly as he was tackled. He later rode a stationary bicycle on the sideline, hoping to go back into the game. The Bengals filled his spot by activating linebacker Dontay Moch, who was suspended the first four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances.
Defensive end Carlos Dunlap (sprained right knee) and Scott are active for the first time this season.||||||| Scott missed the first two games with a broke right hand.
Scott has waited two years to get this chance. The shifty running back will be a focus of the Cincinnati Bengals' offense Sunday in Seattle, taking over for suspended starter Cedric Benson. It'll be his first featured appearance since he started two games as a rookie in 2009.||||||| The question is how much the Bengals (4-2) will change their running game on Sunday in Seattle (2-4), where the crowd is loud and rookie quarterback Andy Dalton will rely on Scott instead of Benson to control the ball. Benson is serving a one-game suspension for violating the NFL's conduct policy. He spent five days in a Texas prison settling two misdemeanor assault cases before the season started. The Bengals expect him back next week for a game at Tennessee.
Scott started Sunday against Cleveland in place of Cedric Benson, who is inactive for the game.||||||| Scott made his first NFL start last Sunday in Oakland and ran for 119 yards in a 20-17 loss to the Raiders.

Royal Society of Edinburgh Periodicals Collection
The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) was founded in 1783. Over two centuries its Library acquired a large collection of periodicals, many of which were received by means of exchange of the Society's publications with those of learned institutions all over the world. In 1981 the RSE transferred its foreign periodicals to the National Library of Scotland.
Since then the collection, now of over 5000 different titles, has been maintained by the Library. The exchange policy of the RSE is still active and the collection is growing constantly, with well over 600 periodical titles currently received.
The scope of the collection is very wide, covering all aspects of pure science. Although many titles are published in foreign languages, the majority are now in English, or at the very least have English abstracts. Many of the titles are not held anywhere else in Scotland. Some books and non-scientific titles are also received and these are incorporated into general Library stock. Any items received from a foreign government body are recorded and retained by the Official Publications Unit within the Library.
The collection arrived with an incomplete card catalogue which has now been incorporated into the Library's main catalogue.
To find older material, it will sometimes be necessary to consult Science Information staff, who will search other sources.
Further enquiries about the collection and its access are welcome: please email email@example.com.

The United Nations Security Council has held a closed-door meeting to consider revived moves by Western nations for approval of a draft resolution that would condemn the Syrian regime for its bloody crackdown on protesters.
The session followed the reported deaths of at least 140 people in Syria on July 31, including scores in the city of Hama.
The Syrian military offensive against anti-regime supporters was reported continuing in the central city Hama on August 1, and more deaths were reported.
As evening fell today, residents said Syrian tanks resumed intense shelling of the restive city and troops fired machine guns at worshippers about to head to mosques for special nighttime prayers on the first day of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
Residents had just broken their daily dawn-to-dusk fast, and the shelling appeared aimed at preventing the mosque gatherings, fearing they would trigger large anti-government protests.
The London-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights says at least 24 people were killed in the latest crackdown with most of the deaths occurring in Hama.
Ahead of the Security Council meeting, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged Council members who had earlier opposed a resolution on Syria to reconsider, saying in a written statement that the international community should come together behind the people of Syria.
Clinton also demanded that the Syrian regime "stop the slaughter now."
President [Bashar al-]Assad has lost his legitimacy with the Syrian people," she said. "Syria will be a better place when a democratic transition goes forward."
Veto-holding permanent Security Council members Russia and China have previously refused to back a UN resolution condemning the regime of President Bashar al-Assad.
In another development, the European Union has expanded its sanctions against Syria, imposing asset freezes and travel bans against five more military and government officials.
The EU move brings the number of Syrians targeted for sanctions by the EU to 35, including President Assad.
'Stronger International Pressure'
Britain has called for "stronger international pressure all around" on Syria, but ruled out military intervention -- stressing that there was no prospect of achieving a UN mandate for military intervention such as in Libya.
British Foreign Secretary William Hague said pressure must not only be from Western nations, but must also come from Arab countries and from Turkey.
In Berlin, the German Foreign Ministry condemned what it called a war by the Syrian government against its own people.
Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu also "strongly condemned" the violence, which coincides with the start of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan:
"We are deeply appalled and dismayed by the operations in Hama and other Syrian cities," Davutoglu said. "The method and timing of these operations is very wrong."
Deep Divisions Over UN Statement
Britain, France, Germany, Portugal, and the United States have been pressing for weeks for some kind of Security Council condemnation of the Syrian violence.
But Russia, China, South Africa, India, and Brazil -- who are all angry about the NATO bombing campaign in Libya -- have previously refused to support even a statement condemning the Syrian regime.
In reaction to the latest violence, however, Russia's Foreign Ministry said on August 1 that the use of force against Syrian civilians was "unacceptable and must cease."
Human rights activists say Syrian troops on July 31 killed more than 100 people in the city of Hama alone -- making the assault one of the most violent crackdowns since protests against Assad's rule began in March.

↵The Opening Pitch: Lane Kiffin is smart. ↵↵
↵He was smart in December when he taunted the Gators when he first got to Tennessee; he had to generate buzz for the program. (OK, maybe he wasn't so smart to accuse Urban Meyer of a recruiting violation.) ↵
↵And he was smart yesterday to talk up the Gators' D: "I look at their defense, look at their 11 starters, and you have 11 NFL players. They're maybe the most talented defense ever to play." ↵↵
↵What Kiffin is doing brilliantly is managing expectations. ↵↵
↵Everyone already expects the Vols to get trounced. But is all the hype for an epic beat-down TOO much hype? Short of a 70-0 obliteration, any other result will feel like the Vols did better than expected. ↵↵
↵Vols get shut out? But it was the best defense of all time!
↵Vols allow "only" 40 or 50? But Tebow is the best QB of all time! ↵
↵If Urban Meyer punishes Kiffin — say, with a humiliating late time-out like he used against Georgia last year — Meyer looks petty and vindictive, not like a champion. ↵↵
↵But if — Jedi-mind-tricked — he doesn't, then Kiffin keeps it closer than expected, which is really all that matters. ↵↵
↵Kiffin knows he has no chance to win. But he can still claim moral victory. ↵↵
↵MLB: Doesn't it sort of feel like MLB has faded away? The NFL is back. College football is already in midseason form. And the MLB playoff race is one of the least dramatic in recent memory. ↵↵
↵Three results last night shook that up: ↵↵
↵— Giants beat Rockies, head to head: This is SF's final H2H series with the NL's wild-card leader, and they have taken the first two games of the series, to close the gap to 2.5 games. Still feels out of reach, but with a win tonight ...? ↵↵
↵— Dice-K is back, and he even helped beat the Angels — Boston's potential ALDS opponent. (The AL wild-card race is essentially over. Sorry, Rangers fans.) Dice-K's return — and a quality return — feels like a surprise September trade for a quality starter. ↵↵
↵— Yankees lack focus: If the AL's best can get drawn into a petty brawl with a non-contender like the Jays, they aren't keeping their eyes on the only thing that matters — winning the World Series. Acting like champs? Not yet. Good news for the Angels, Tigers and Red Sox. ↵↵
↵NFL Injury Watch: LaDainian Tomlinson's gimpy ankle may keep him out of the Week 2 match-up with the Ravens — at the very least it will limit his effectiveness, much as it did Monday night. To those of you who handcuffed with Darren Sproles (or just drafted him outright, even if you didn't have LT on your roster, I salute you.) ↵↵
↵Fantasy Watch: "WHICH RB DO I USE?!?!?" That is the trend that — as anticipated — has instantly confounded fantasy owners this year. Draft Ray Rice? McClain and McGahee get the TD touches. Draft Darren McFadden? Michael Bush gets the TD. ↵↵
↵No team reflects the NFL's new fantasy era of "WHICH RB?!?!?!" than the Saints. Maybe you drafted Pierre Thomas. Maybe you drafted Reggie Bush. Then along comes Mike Bell. Of course, then Drew Brees THROWS for 6 TDs. (Personal gripe: And not ONE to Lance Moore.) ↵↵
↵Mike Vick Watch: One step closer to making a return to a regular-season game. One week away. ↵↵
↵NFL Must-Read: Mike Tunison's latest Designated Rush. ↵↵
↵Crabtree Holdout: By leaking that they have reached out to Michael Crabtree, the 49ers have nearly shut the door on any remaining P.R. room that he has. The team looks like they're trying; Crabtree (still) looks like the jerk. They might ultimately lose him, but they won't lose their fans in the process. ↵↵
↵Goats: Leodis McKelvin had his front lawn vandalized after he muffed that kickoff late that cost the Bills the win over the Patriots in Foxboro. What is this: European or South American soccer? The American way would be to SUE him for the mistake. ↵↵
↵CFB: Is Matt Barkley going to miss USC's game at Washington with that injured shoulder? Maybe. If Aaron Corp fills in and plays well, will the Trojans have a minor QB controversy on their hands? ↵↵
↵Fun with Rankings: Pitt is No. 1. At least in the Colley Matrix (and people said I was crazy for ranking BYU No. 1 last week). I actually like the computer rankings as a check on the human pollsters (who do dumb things like rank Oklahoma State ahead of Houston), but I would like to see more transparency from the quant jocks. ↵↵
↵CBB Must-Read: Mike DeCourcy on key "glue" players who won't get the star's headlines, but will have a lot to do with their teams reaching their potential. Intriguing to see a highly-touted freshman at the top. ↵↵
↵The Last Word: "This team is going to be gone in a year."
↵— Coyotes "owner" Jerry Moyes, on the state of the "team" Is there a more dysfunctional ownership-city relationship in team sports? ↵

6Guess Who's Finally Getting A Reality Show!
I didn't think this glory would ever come to pass. I didn't believe that we deserved something so purely wonderful. I thought that this was just a dream that could never make its way into reality, a beautiful notion that was too precious for this world. But I was so wrong.
Courtney Stodden is finally getting that reality show, y'all!
Or, ok, she's filming a reality show. And the only place we've heard this news from is Courtney's Twitter, where she made this announcement a couple of days ago:
FYI Stoddenista's: Will be m.i.a for about 3 weeks – packing up & heading out to shoot a reality show! Love you all xxx God Bless, Courtney
Oh, because by the way, she calls her fans "Stoddenistas." Because she has fans. Crazy, right?
And here's another interesting fact: you know what else happens in "about three weeks"? Courtney turns 18. That can't be a coincidence, right?

Read the title.
Read it again.
And again.
Got your head around it? Okay, great. This isn't a joke.
So most of you will remember the poll a week or so ago here on WAGNH, asking about priorities. After Ron Gourlay made it pretty clear that the club's top priority is a top four spot, while a Cup trophy on the side wouldn't be bad. I, like most other people, voted a Top Four finish as top priority, followed by the FA Cup and Europa League respectively. However, after some thinking, I've changed my mind. Top four is suddenly lowest of priorities for me. Sounds odd, right? Well here's why...
Think about our old guard. John Terry, Mr Chelsea himself. Frank Lampard, the man still running around and leading the club at 34. Didier Drogba, 9 cup final goals in 9 cup finals, the one who brought us that trophy. Petr Cech, always there to be relied on. Ashley Cole, hated by many, and yet he never stopped. They weren't the only ones, too, guys like Kalou, Essien, Malouda, and even Mikel, who've had that Chelsea engrained in them. Think about these players - what do they all have in common? A lasting love for Chelsea, a love that will never wane, a love that will always last, a love that pushed them beyond everything - beyond sex allegations and racial comments, beyond malaria and diving taunts, beyond comments about their family, beyond hatred from all but Chelsea fans - to die fighting for this club. A love that made them push, so hard, with every muscle, to fight as a unit - these men are Chelsea FC.
This love was not made over night, it was cast by years of hardships, of torment, of fighting together. Remember Moscow? So do JT and Drogba. Remember Ovrebo? So do our legends. I could sit here all day listing the adversities our players faced, but it's almost too painful for me. Besides, there's no point, you all know what I'm referring to. These players were formed, sculpted, bred and fashioned at Stamford Bridge, and it's there that their brotherhood grew.
One thing I've always loved about sport is the brotherhood. I've found, having played for a number of teams across a few sports growing up, that the clubs where I performed best, and felt most attached to, where the ones where I was close to my team-mates, and there was a real feeling of brotherhood in our sheds. Whether we knew eachother outside of sports or not, we would go out every weekend, fighting and dying for our team-mates, for our brothers, and it was through that that we identified eachother.
Similarly, with our beloved Chelsea, it's the hardships they've faced which led to such a strong sense of brotherhood in the camp. I don't think I even have to search for proof, to convince you that JT, Drogs and Lamps are the closest of team-mates. It's through this bond that they pushed for eachother, until eventually they overcame obstacles, winning the Big Eared Trophy together.
But, as it is with life, the good things never last. While Javier Zanetti continues to run around for Inter Milan, the same cannot be said for our legends. Already, Drogba has moved on. Malouda and Essien haven't been heard of this season, and are certain to be moved on in the Summer. Frank may be going with them, while JT is facing less and less time on the pitch. There's a ready made replacement for Cech, too, to replace him at any time.
However, losing our star players doesn't mean we have to lose our club. It's up to the club - the manager, the owner, the board, the director, and, most importantly, the players - to create new legends, the next breed who will fight and die for this club. Again, however, this isn't as easy as it sounds, such bonds don't grow over night. These players need to face hard times, and overcome these hard times, together. They need to face adversity, and overcome it. They need to fall together, then help each other up. They need ups and downs, highs and lows, failures and successes.
Already they are being tested through these hard times, battling hard for a top four finish and two cups, and they're punching above their weight, showing character beyond their years. Oscar's winner against Sparta, Hazard's goal against United, or his winner against Prague in the second leg; Mata's goal in a dull game vs Norwich, or Moses in the dying minutes against Shakhtar.
That's not all that's required, however. These players need more to identify with, and that's where finishing outside the Top Four comes in. It's not ideal, of course, and it's not a situation I'd endorse under normal circumstances, but this is different. This is no normal circumstance. How many teams have gone through such a sudden transition season, with an overturn of players at such a rate? Our players have to be moulded into not only football players, but Chelsea players. I don't want Mata or Hazard to leave the club in a couple of years, and I doubt any of you do, either.
And that's why they need something to unite them, a common adversity which they fight through together. Finishing outside the top four and not qualifying for the Champions League will be the first time Chelsea has failed to qualify for Europe's biggest competition since 2001/02 - a whole 11 years ago - and the first time in the Roman Era. How devastating would that be for us as Chelsea supporters? And yet, at the same time, how hard would we have to strive to get out of such dire conditions? With, hopefully, a trusty, full time, manager at the helm, one who can lead the club and give these young players an identity, these are exactly the conditions that club legends are made from. Legends aren't made in lands of fairies and ponies, they rise from the dark times and fight their way out.
That's how John Terry became a legend. It's how Frank Lampard became a legend. It's how Didier Drogba, Ashley Cole and Petr Cech became legends. And it's how Juan Mata, Oscar, Eden Hazard, David Luiz, Mikel, Moses, Lukaku, and the rest of our squad, will one day become Chelsea legends.
By working together. By fighting together. By falling and failing together, then rising up together, helping each other up. That's how bonds are created.

We couldn't help ourselves. The talk of stray dogs in Sochi makes us sad, but it also makes us scratch our heads. How did the Olympic planners let it happen? We have to cheer ourselves by humming this annoying tune. Sorry to plant it in your head!

We can't help ourselves. "Just the Way You Are" is playing on repeat in our heads. Even though it's for the younger set, we think it's pretty "amazing." (Pun intended.)
We couldn't help ourselves. The Super Bowl is in the news (a lawsuit filed today), but it's also in our heads. Remember the good, old days? Go Bears!
After Orion Samuelson's rousing rendition of "Push It" this morning, members of the morning crew are having trouble pushing this song out of their heads. For Pete McMurray it brings back college memories. For Anne and Andrea it's high school. For Kevin … the womb.

So what if it's played by robots? The Steve Cochran show morning crew can't shake the strains of this Grammy-winning tune by Daft Punk.
After the Grammys we're all humming this little number from 17-year-old New Zealand native Lorde. It's pretty catchy, but the video is downright weird.

9-17-2011 The Weekend Claw
Over a half-inch of rain last night, and the Fort Worth-Dallas area is in a state of joyful shock. We're still 8.7 inches below normal for the year, but it is a step in the right direction.
A) Ain't it amazing that the American left wants kids to get parental permission to order french fries with their meals, but they oppose parental notification for teenagers who want to get abortions.
B) The Obama Administration/Campaign Team has defaulted back to their old ways, which resemble the old East German Stasi, the Soviet NKVD and KGB, and the Third Reich's Gestapo. During the Obamacare debate, they started up a White House website for people to report anybody in opposition to Obamacare. The Crawfish self-reported a number of times. Now they want to turn you into government informants yet again. This time they were smart enough to separate their site from the White House, but they have put up AttackWatch.com where the public is asked to report people or websites that oppose Obama. Once the report is submitted, the user is then told to contribute to Der Fuhrer's campaign. The Crawfish has already reported his Blogspot site, his RedWhiteBlueNews.com site, and a website for the Constitution of the United States.
C) After reporting myself, I got an e-mail from the O campaign, and here's part of it:
"Friend –
You're in for 2012: Welcome, and thanks.
Now forget everything you know about politics.
Because I can tell you that the next 14 months will be like nothing you've seen from a campaign. If we're going to win, we have to be tougher, smarter, and more innovative than ever before.
The President has a job to do, so he's asking each of us to take the lead in shaping this effort.
That work begins now in your community."
Yes, you read correctly. "Now forget everything you know about politics" because if you know anything about politics, you know what a complete fraud Barack Obama is.
D) Will somebody puh-leeze show me the person who authorized federal money to be spent on this study, because I personally want to beat him to a pulp. Why in the world do we need a federal study to study the correlation between a homo's penis size and his sex life? If the Than Franthithco Rump Rangers Club wants to study that with their own money, fine, but why does the National Institutes of Health need that study's findings?
E) With one-sixth of our people defined as living in poverty, the Obama Administration has a strange solution. His new "jobs plan" includes eliminating tax deductions for charitable contributions. The net effect would be a reduction in charitable services such as soup kitchens. You see, the only jobs he really cares about are those of Democrat politicians and union bosses.
F) The Obama Administration has some rosy predictions about their "Save O's Job Plan", and if you believe their best-case numbers, it will build our economy by a whopping 1,900,000 jobs. Using those numbers, which nobody in their right mind would believe, his plan would cost the American taxpayers over $235,000.00 per job. It would work better if it simply gave 19,000,000 people $23,500 each.
G) Here's a jobs plan for ya. Repeal Obamacare, since it is the biggest impediment to hiring in the next few years.
H) Those wonderful adherents of the Religion of Peace are preparing to declare their independence, and claiming 1/3 of Israel as their rightful lands. They are also openly declaring that Jews will not be welcome in those lands at all. The muslims already have all of Morocco, Tunisia, Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Yemen, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, the UAE, Afghanistan, Pakistan, all the other stans, and Indonesia. They have enough land. Israel has only Israel, which rightfully includes Gaza, Golan, and the West Bank. If the so-called Palestinians (actually mostly Jordanians) want their own land, let them carve it out of the other muslim lands.
I) Meanwhile, the Jewish vote is being lost by The Chosen One because of his blatant anti-Israel policies.
J) The White House has OFFICIALLY stated that illegal immigration is no big deal. Their new official position is that illegal immigration is equivalent to jaywalking. Really? How many jaywalkers take up our jobs? How many jaywalkers absorb thousands upon thousands of taxpayer-paid benefits?
K) Barack Obama has now made it personal. He has officially, and without comment, ruled out allowing Taiwan to buy 66 F-16 fighters, which means The Crawfish will get laid off on Veterans Day. Thanks for selling out an ally and sucking up to our enemy, the People's Republic of China. Oh, and the International Association of Machinists union will continue to kiss Obama's exhaust assembly and use MY union dues to support him, even though this decision kills the jobs of IAM 776 members. Once again, the only job he cares about is his own. Look at what Senator Cornyn had to say about the matter, and note that he and Senator Menendez (D-Noo Joisey, hardly a conservative) are still pushing legislation to force Obama to allow that F-16 deal to go through.
L) The GOP victory in the special election for the 9th District from Noo Yawk was monumental. That seat had been in Democrat hands since 1923. Even in the Great Tea Party Landslide of 2010, the Dim-ocrats held the seat with more than 60% of the vote. So how do the Democrats react to this defeat? Debbie the Ditz came out and said that "it's a very difficult district for Democrats." Say WHAT? Over 70% of the registered voters in that district are registered Democrats and that's a "difficult district"???? Baghdad Bob was a better liar than Debbie.
M) An Air Force General was testifying before Congress recently and told members that the White House tried to get him to lie in his briefing in order to support a company called LightSquared, heavily invested by a big Obama donor (sound like Solyndra?). National defense takes a back seat if it interferes with Obama's cronies.
N) Speaking of Solyndra, in 2009 Solyndra's CEO said that Obama was "instrumental" in getting the $535 million loan to go through. Propaganda Minister Carney denies it, of course. Then again, there is legislation that makes it illegal for such a loan to be structured in such a way that the taxpayers are not first in line for the assets if there is a default/bankruptcy. That law didn't matter to the White House either.
O) Our friend Saltwater caught something on Fox News' "The Five" that must be a sign of the apocalypse. Uber-lib Bob Beckel actually defended a school board against the ACLU. He correctly noted that the school board's posting of the Ten Commandments is NOT a violation of the First Amendment, noting that this does not "establish" a religion and it is not Congress doing the posting. This is a great on-air discussion.
P) Wow. Now the Democrats are putting forth legislation to completely eliminate the debt ceiling, which would give the government a blank check to drive our nation to economic collapse.
Q) As a pet owner and a father, I like this story.
R) One of the reasons that businesses and farmers are going bust is over-regulation by the federal government. Most of these regulations come from Agencies, Bureaus, and Departments. The Constitution gives regulatory power to Congress alone.
S) More murders and kidnappings have occurred using the weapons from Eric Holder's Gunrunner Project, but these were just Mexicans so the media will continue to ignore the scandal. Nothing to see here. Move along.
T) Here we go again with another mob of minority "youth" violently attacking whites. This time it happened in Denver. If the colors were reversed, it would cause a national outrage, but with our first "post-racial President", it is hardly newsworthy.
U) If you think it absurd that Granny and Little Bobby are getting full-body pat-downs before getting on an airplane, you're gonna flip out when you read about what the NFL wants at their stadiums. This is in reaction to a fan using a taser on another fan in Noo Joisey last Sunday night during the Jets-Cows game.

Thursday State News Summary
Thu, 11 Apr 2013 13:22:44 EDT
The Michigan Senate has voted to delay until late December the earliest, a vote on a bill to repeal the state;s new pension tax.
Democrats pushed for a vote this week, as it's the week before the annual tax filing deadline.
They say the tax has created an undue burden on already strapped seniors.
The vote to delay action was 21-to-12, with Democrats voting to delay and majority Republicans, save for two, voting in favor of the delay.
Senate Republicans Rick Jones of Grand Ledge and Roger Kahn of Saginaw voted with Democrats.
(Capitol-Internet Lottery Sales Ban)
The Michigan Lottery wants to sell lottery games over the Internet, but the proposal could be running into roadblocks in the state legislature.
Bills have been introduced in both the House and Senate making online lottery sales in Michigan illegal.
The sponsor of the bill in the House, Republican Kevin Cotter of Mount Pleasant, says allowing state-sponsored gambling online would be going too far.
Senate bill sponsor Republican Rick Jones, a former Eaton County sheriff, says he thinks expanding the sales to someone's computer or smartphone will make it easier to become addicted to gambling, will make personal debt "skyrocket" by allowing credit cards to be used to buy tickets, and will deprive small businesses of sales and store traffic.

(Newaygo Co-Double Murder Suspect Dead)
The search for a West Michigan man suspected of killing his wife and adult son ended last night (Wednesday) when authorities found his body inside his house.
The Newaygo County Sheriff's Department says the body of 59-year old Charles Hoover was discovered by a police robot at the top of a stairway in his home in Lilly Township, between White Cloud and Baldwin.
The manhunt began in the afternoon after authorities were called to the home and discovered the bodies of 62-year old Marcia Hoover and 37-year old Charles Isaac Hoover, outside the house. Both had been shot to death.
The search for the elder Hoover took hours and triggered a public warning. There were several buildings on his property and police sent the robot to explore each one in turn.
WOOD-TV reported Hoover apparently had enough supplies like canned goods on his property to last some time because he believed an end-of-the-world scenario is in the near future.

Michigan could see an cash influx if President Obama's three-point-eight-trillion budget plan for 2014 is approved.
The budget includes 300-million dollars for Great Lakes restoration. It also calls for incentives for auto dealers who sell more advanced technology vehicles.
The president is also looking to create an Energy Trust Fund to invest in development of alternative fuels.

A Muskegon County school system is shut down for the rest of the week due to an illness outbreak among students and staff. according to the district's website, North Muskegon Public School officials say they are working closely with the Muskegon County Health Department, responding to an increase in what is suspected to be a norovirus .
Health officials say that symptoms of the viral gastroenteritis illness usually last 1 to 2 days and include low grade fever, headache, weakness and muscle aches.
North Muskegon school representatives say in the posting that during the closure a thorough sanitation of all facilites will be conducted.

(MI-Foreclosures Down)
The number of foreclosures in Michigan has dropped.
According to data released by RealityTrac, the number of Michigan homes auctioned by the county sheriff or taken back by banks dropped by almost two-thousand between February and March of this year. Compared to a year ago this time, the number of foreclosures has dropped by roughly half.
Nationally, the number of foreclosed homes has dropped by one-percent between February and March.

(Oakland Co-Murder Suspect Arrested)
The Oakland County Sheriff's Office said they've made an arrest in connection with a murder in Pontiac.
18-year old Charona Williams is being held without bond in the Oakland County Jail after being arraigned on charges of felony murder and armed robbery. Williams, who has one prior conviction for retail fraud, is due back in court for a preliminary exam on April 16.
Police say the charges stem from the death of 29-year old Rashone Johnson. Investigators said Johnson was found in the early morning hours of April 6 outside of a Pontiac home suffering from several gunshot wounds. He was rushed to a hospital where he later died.
Detectives say they're continuing their investigation and have other suspects and leads, and therefore declined to further discuss circumstances surrounding the case.

(MI-Killer Resentence)
A Michigan Court of Appeals has ordered a resentencing for a Northern Michigan man convicted of the 2011 stabbing death of a Traverse City teen.
19-year old Robert Schwander was sentenced to 40 to 70 years in prison following his conviction by a Grand Traverse County jury of second-degree murder for killing then 16-year old Carly Lewis.
According to the Traverse City Record Eagle, the minimum sentence handed down by Circuit Court Judge Thomas Power was almost double the highest minimum under state sentencing guidelines.
Power trimmed Schwander's sentence by two years after the Court of Appeals ordered him to explain why he exceeded the guidelines or re-sentence him. Power declined to explain his departure from sentencing guidelines, and said he provided substantial reasoning during the initial sentencing.
The appeals court says the resentence was done in a manner inconsistent with mandated procedures and ordered Schwander be resentenced by a different judge.
(Detroit-Old Assets-New Name)
The now bankrupt Michigan battery supplier A123 systems has a new name, at least for its "old assets", and its called B456.
The firm was bought by a Chinese company and needed to change its name to comply with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The name change is similar to what General Motors did with their old assets now owned by Motors Liquidation Company.
The new owners finalized their purchase of B456 and plan to keep the original name of A123 Systems going forward. The company has also pledged to keep its plants in Michigan open.

(Marquette Co-Car-Train Accident Suspect)
A Marquette County woman will stand trial in connection with a car-train accident last month that injured three members of her family.
24-year old Samantha Jo French of Gwinn was bound over to Marquette County Circuit Court on two counts of operating under the influence causing serious injury and one count of possession of marijuana. She will be arraigned April 19.
Police say French failed to stop for an approaching Canadian National Railway train at a crossing in Little Lake on March 28. Her 5- and 6-year-old children were injured, and so was her mother.
French was not injured in the accident. She's lodged in the Marquette County Jail on a $305,000 bond.
The incident is still under investigation.

Steven is now 103 and retired years ago from General Motors. Victoria Wrubel's funeral is set for Friday at Martin Funeral Home in Mt. Morris.

49ers touchdowns against Cardinals came at a price
Maybe the Arizona Cardinals got the last laugh after all?
Not really.
Anyway, the San Francisco 49ers beat the Arizona Cardinals 27-13 in the regular season finale last Sunday. A close game in the first half, the 49ers took it to the Cardinals over the game's final 30 minutes.
In all, receiver Michael Crabtree scored a pair of touchdowns while running back Frank Gore tallied one. As part of their respective celebrations, each player threw the football into the stands.
As it turns out, footballs are expensive.
According to CSNBayArea.com, the players were fined for tossing the footballs away.
The well-meaning gesture came at a price, though. Both players were fined $10,500 by the NFL, according to a league spokesman.
The league considers it fan safety issue to have players throw football into the stands, as opposed to handing the ball or tossing it to a fan, which is allowed. The NFL does not want fans fighting over a football.
Fortunately for both Crabree and Gore, their contracts are paying them hefty sums. However, that probably won't do much to dull the pain.
If only they would have scored fewer touchdowns that day...

Georgia now in national title hunt
The University of Georgia last won a football national championship in 1980.
The Bulldogs are two victories away from playing for another.
With the two top-ranked teams in the Bowl Championship Series losing late Saturday — No. 1 Kansas State to Baylor and No. 2 Oregon to Stanford in overtime — the SEC is back in the national title picture.
When the BCS rankings were released on Sunday Notre Dame assumed the No. 1 spot followed by defending national champion Alabama and Georgia. The teams are also 1-2-3 in the latest Associated Press poll.
With the Bulldogs already locked into the SEC Championship Game in Dec. 1 — and with the Crimson Tide heavily favored against Auburn this coming Saturday — UGA needs a win over Georgia Tech to turn the league title tilt into a de fact national semifinal playoff game.
The game with the Yellow Jackets was all UGA coach Mark Richt was interested in talking about during his Sunday night teleconference.
"We know that Georgia Tech has scored a lot of points lately and we know what this game means to our program on a year to year basis."
When asked to address the situation that has made his team a title contender, Richt refused.
"All I can think about is Georgia Tech," he said.
If Georgia and Alabama enter the SEC Championship Game at 11-1, the team that exits with a 12-1 record will almost certainly head to Miami to play in the BCS National Championship Game on Jan. 7.
Georgia was 12-0 in 1980 and secured a No. 1 finish with a 17-10 victory over Notre Dame in the Sugar Bowl.
Long before the two upsets made the scenario possible for his team, Richt sounded prophetic following the Dawgs' 45-14 victory over Georgia Southern.
"The second half of the season has been pretty impressive," Richt said. "We're happy with the results. I think the guys are focused and they think we've got a chance to do something special. All of our goals are still ahead of us, and they're happy about that."
Many of the Georgia players stayed up late to watch the game and when the outcomes were settled they let their feelings be known via Twitter.
"Yesssssssssssss!!!!!! The Murray household just went crazyyyyy!!!!!!" tweeted Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray.
Before thinking too far ahead, however, Georgia must prepare for a 6-5 Georgia Tech team that has won three consecutive games and scored a combined 143 points in the victories.
The Yellow Jackets still have a chance to win the Coastal division of the ACC and play in its league's title game on Dec. 1.

Intel Hits the Reset Button
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- For Intel (INTC), the second half of 2013 is all about resetting market expectations. No matter what it does to the share price.
Intel's second-quarter earnings report was largely in line, as the world's largest chipmaker reported earnings of 39 cents a share on $12.81 billion in revenue. Gross margins came in at 58%, up 2% sequentially, but down 5% year-over-year. Analysts surveyed by Thomson Reuters expected Intel to earn 39 cents a share on $12.896 billion in revenue.
However, for the third-quarter, new CEO Brian Krzanich reset market expectations. Intel said it expects revenue of $13.5 billion, plus or minus $500 million. Gross margins will be approximately 61%, plus or minus a couple of percentage points.
Deutsche Bank analyst Ross Seymore notes that Intel's new leadership team is resetting the company's growth trajectory, but also is also showing spending restraint, something Wall Street may like down the line. The company also lowered its full-year capital spending plan. It now expects to spend $11 billion, plus or minus $500 million, down from a previous view of $12 billion."While this [revenue] guide is mildly disappointing, we believe the [company] has now set the bar realistically and importantly shown continued signs of cost control by trimming capex/opex (- $1b/-$200m)," Seymore wrote in the note. "Consequently, we believe the [company's] transition into faster growing mkts (ultra-mobile, foundry etc.) will require patience, but expect the shares to slowly rise as signs of success emerge in 2H13 (tablets, convertibles etc.) and become more meaningful in 2014 (LTE handsets)." He rates Intel shares "buy" with a $26 price target. Krzanich and CFO Stacy Smith made it a point in both the earnings release and on the conference call to talk about how Intel is adapting to new markets, particularly mobile and the foundry business. Krzanich said the foundry business, where Intel builds chips for other companies, is "moving from crawl space to walk space." For shareholders, this transition requires patience, with a 12 to 18-month lag between when a customer is signed and revenue flowing from the foundry.

Studio !K7
Present location: Berlin, Germany
Since: 1996
Sub-labels: Ever Records, Gold Dust Media, Rapster Records, Strut
Links: http://www.k7.com/ http://www.dj-kicks.com www.myspace.com/k7records www.twitter.com/k7records www.facebook.com/K7Records
Studio !K7 is an independent label founded by Horst Weidenmüller, operating out of Berlin but with offices in New York, Hamburg, London and Tokyo. !K7 specialises in different styles of electronic music, especially house, techno, downtempo and breaks. The label is particularly known for its celebrated DJ mix series, "DJ-Kicks", one of the best and longest running DJ mix series ever. It includes contributions over the years by the likes of Carl Craig, Stacey Pullen, Tiga, Erlend Øye, Four Tet, Chromeo, James Holden and Kode 9, among many others.
The label started in 1996, a year after the first "DJ-Kicks", by CJ Bolland. At the time, the concept of the series was innovative, as DJ mixes weren't usually released officially on CD. At the same time, !K7 started to release music by artists like Nicolette, K-Hand, Nick Holder, Kruder & Dorfmeister and Terrence Parker – receiving a great reception from the electronic music fans. The turn of the century was marked by the signing of artists like A Guy Called Gerald, Matthew Herbert and Terranova, among others, who contributed to the imprint's fame. In 2001, they created the subsidiary Rapster Records, focussing on hip-hop, soul and urban music. In 2006, they started Ever, another sub-label, this time specialising in guitar music, with artists such as Cortney Tidwell and Howie Beck. In 2008, !K7 acquired Strut, who specialised in African music and rare grooves, while that same year another hip-hop label joined the club, Gold Dust Media. Some of !K7's most successful releases in the second half of the noughties included work by Swayzak, Joakim, Jimmy Edgar and Brandt Brauer Frick.

Houston man Baron Keith Armstrong, 45, is dead and Johnathan Renard Castaneda, 25, is on the run, wanted for murder after a tragic end to a June 8, 2012, party they were both attending with friends. It seems that Armstrong had misplaced or lost his keys, and began asking others at the gathering as to their whereabouts. An argument with Castaneda quickly ensued, and Castaneda reportedly became so enraged that he beat Armstrong unconscious. Police received a call about an assault in progress, while Castaneda vented his rage on the other party goers, knocking them all unconscious. He continued beating the defenseless Armstrong with objects he found around the house, and raped a female party attendee. Police arrived to find Armstrong dead and Castaneda gone. The other victims were hospitalized, though none had life-threatening injuries. The female sexual assault victim identified Castaneda to authorities. He is still at large, and charged with aggravated sexual assault. Police may add murder to the charges.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of suspect Johnathan Castaneda is urged to contact the HPD Homicide Division at 713-308-3600 or Crime Stoppers at 713-222-TIPS.

What he brings to the table: As a biotech outsider, Mayo's value add is his ability to question. "Because I don't have a preconceived notion as to why this industry works the way it does, I don't come in thinking things have to be done a certain way," he explains. "So for everything from leveraging the ERP tool that we bought to establishing good change control, I'm always asking, 'Why are we doing this?' 'Why don't we have an approach for that?' " Mayo says. "I bring that different perspective."
As he rises through the ranks, Mayo finds his role changing; he's becoming less of a technologist or even a business leader (he has an MBA from Northeastern University in addition to an undergraduate computer science degree) and more of a big-picture visionary.
His vision for IT: "I can't think of a single job in our organization that is not hugely reliant on IT; you have to understand IT to do the job," he says. That pervasiveness of technology throughout the company, coupled with cloud computing and the consumerization trend, could well spell the end of old-school IT, Mayo predicts. "Companies are not going to own data centers or host their own applications. In 20 years or whatever, the notion of a separate IT organization as a keeper of the data will be gone. IT becomes part of the fabric of the organization," he says.
Under that scenario, Mayo sees IT managers like himself not necessarily being expert in this or that technology of the moment, but fully embracing the role of tech leader. "It's a bit of providing inspiration, a bit of being a mentor, a bit of giving good advice and a bit of getting out of people's way," Mayo sums up. "The value I can give the IT organization is to help other people be great."
Leigh Ann Thomas
Senior business relationship manager, American Water, Voorhees, N.J.
What she does: Leigh Ann Thomas is the first person to hold the title of senior business relationship manager in the Information Technology Service department at American Water, the largest investor-owned water and wastewater utility in the U.S.
In the new role, her sole focus and purpose is to demonstrate the value of IT to the business. Beyond that lofty goal, Thomas finds herself working without a road map. "It's intriguing," she says. "I define my role day to day. There are no best practices. It's a completely blank canvas."
Since June 2012, when American Water vice president and CIO Mark Smith handed her the new responsibilities, Thomas has been working her way through a five-step process to put together a model for the role, starting with a "listening tour" to collect feedback from both the ITS group and multiple business partners -- no small task in the large, geographically dispersed company. "There are a lot of stakeholders," Thomas observes. The next phase is to prioritize that feedback and "zero in our energies" on IT investments with the biggest payback for the business side.
What she brings to the table: Thomas sees her main contribution as being a conduit between business units and IT. "It's a translator role," she says. "I build relationships and credibility for IT from the ground up." She does that by going out of her way to drill down for a deep understanding of what the business needs and how IT can help. "IT folks need to have a very solid understanding of their core business," she says. "Wherever I've worked, I've always initiated my own rotational job-shadowing efforts so I can understand what the business is going through day to day. I'm a big believer in walking a mile in the end user's shoes."

After months of discussion and debate, it looks like the long awaited Community Resource Center is on it's way. Panama City commissioners voted unanimously to purchase property for the facility, as they look to address issues with the Rescue Mission and downtown vagrancy.
It was a vote was met by near universal approval by those in attendance Tuesday night, and one that commissioners have been waiting to make.
"We've had many, many meetings, we've looked at many, many sites," Mayor Greg Brudnicki said.
Tuesday they voted to purchase 70 acres of land along the Star Avenue corridor out near Highway 231 for the construction of a Community Resource Center.
"This is the right thing to do, and we need your leadership to move to the next level," said Emily Dowdy with the Homeless Task Force.
It's the culmination of months of work for the Homeless Task Force. They spent almost a year and a half gathering data and bringing in experts on homelessness.
"When we got Mr. Marbut in here, I think it was a great deal to bring him here," Mayor Brudnicki said. "He shed a lot of light on a lot of issues."
The land will cost the city about $6,500 per acre - or $450,000 - and will be paid for with the assistance of SHIP, or the State Housing Initiative Partnership. SHIP provides funds to local governments as an incentive to create partnerships that produce and preserve affordable home ownership and multifamily housing. (http://apps.floridahousing.org/StandAlone/FHFC_ECM/ContentPage.aspx?PAGE=0132)
Tuesday, the commission agreed not only to the purchase, but also to immediately put down $25,000 to get the project started. Once the city annexes the land, the will be reimbursed for the $25,000 under SHIP.
However, commissioners wanted to make sure that their bases are covered.
"Our primary position here of responsibility is also to protect the city, and you're talking about half a million dollars," Commissioner John Kady said.
Several provisions will be written into the agreement, including no further city involvement and funding after the land is bought, a promise that there would be no recruitment for vagrants outside of Bay County, and a guarantee that once the shelter opens up, the Rescue Mission closes down.
The task force is looking to local charity funding as well as both private and federal grants so they can provide security and operate the center. They're hoping to provide housing, job training, and other resources for the homeless.
"The resource center will provide these services in a location that gives participants the best possible services with the least possible impact on local residents, homes and businesses," said Zana Ireland with the Homeless Task Force.
Mayor Greg Brudnicki has high hopes for the project.
"It's gonna be tough, but I know these people will get it done," Mayor Brudnicki said.
There will be a 60 day due diligence period as the city evaluates the land and moves forward with annexation. The task force has a web site set up where you can read the finer points of the project. You can visit the link at http://www.bayarearesourcecenter.com/

Myspace is still the number one place every music artists needs to be.Posted: June 7th, 2010 | Author: Ned | Filed under: General | Tags: music, myspace, strategy | 11 Comments »
This afternoon I put out a tweet looking for a talented Myspace layout designer as part of my work with Melbourne artist management company Forum5. I got a few sarcastic responses back from some of my followers saying that I was stuck in 2002. While Myspace is definitely not the youngest or freshest music company on the block (and actually started in 2003) it's still relevant for artists today.
Myspace is still the one place every artist needs to be and it could take a while to replace that. It's the number one directory of all artists, big or small, where you are pretty much guaranteed to find a page featuring their music and some personal details.
When people are searching for artists they'll often type in the artist name followed by the word "myspace". I do the same thing when I'm looking for a wikipedia article about a given topic. It's because I am looking for specific information that I know that particular site will have. In the case of the wiki search it is likely to have dates, facts and (hopefully) little opinion. When I'm looking for an artists I want to be able to stream their music, see a couple of photos, find out where they're from and see how many people are following them.
iTunes doesn't offer an alternative to this because you need to be within their app to search for music rather than from a web interface. Furthermore iTunes is a closed system for artists requiring you to pay money to third parties to have your music listed there. iTunes also lacks a lot of the more detailed information about the artist such as their last played show or photos from their upcoming video clip.
Former Myspace users might think that Myspace is dead or irrelevant because they've moved over to Facebook or Twitter. The reality is that Myspace is no longer a social utility, it's not "a place for friends" but it's still a great music discovery engine.
I'm not arguing that it's the best platform, there are definitely a lot of holes in it. There are better places to use to sell your music and your merchandise, to promote your shows and even to build your fan base – and these can all be seamlessly integrated into a Myspace profile. However Myspace is still the number one directory that every musician needs to be in so they can be easily found by prospective fans or casual listeners.
My advice to music talent is to create a great looking Myspace (you need to be there!) but also to look a little further afield. Setup a Facebook page and a Last.fm account and embed these widgets on your Myspace page. Create a slick looking site on The Sixty One and use this as your band site with your own custom url. Setup a Twitter account and update it daily with stuff like what you're listening to, photos or snippets of new tracks. And then synch it to your Myspace/Facebook/Last.fm and The Sixty One profiles so you can update once and push to many.
What do you think? Am I completely off the mark or is this self-evident?
P.S. I did find a couple of guys who do great Myspace layout work over at Synapse.

By the fall of 1930, Custodian Leonard Heaton's monthly reports to headquarters referenced problems of area unemployment. In November he wrote, "There have been only a few people here this last month and they have been hunting work and something to eat." [830] In August 1932 he reported, "The people of this section received 10,800 pounds of flour from the Red Cross which will be a great help to some, but if work is not furnished to some they will go hungry or will have to be kept by some charity organization this winter." [831] During the fall of 1932, Mohave County offered roadwork to help alleviate the problem. Heaton reported, "Road work on Highway 89 is underway allowing married men 30 hours of work each week at .50 per hour. The work has been so arranged that about six or seven men from each settlement will be at work all the time." [832] Yet the problem of unemployment was far too acute and widespread to be solved by local, county, or even state measures. The mobilization of federal forces was required to address the worst financial crisis of the 20th century, known as the Great Depression. The federal programs implemented during the 1930s would considerably impact Pipe Spring National Monument.

Windows 7 Released TODAY
posted by Chris on 10.22.09 at 1:36 pm
So are you running Windows 7 yet? Cause, you know, it was released today. And its awesome. I downloaded my free Professional copy from Stony Brook's MSDNAA site, like last month. You can probably get a copy free too if your school is part of the MSDNAA program and are taking a certain course.
You can also get it with a college discount, get 3 copies of Home Premium from Costco for $135, torrent it, or worst case scenario, get it at full retail price.

Lindback winner Woyshner puts joy into the classroom
The Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Foundation has granted Temple additional time to identify winners for its annual awards, and four outstanding faculty members were selected as 2005 winners. Christine Woyshner will be included in the faculty convocation in April 2006.
Tuesday, 5:12 p.m.
In Room 207 of Ritter Hall, Christine Woyshner is talking to her undergraduate secondary education students about keeping students engaged in the classroom.
"I can't just tell you, 'Do these things, and everything will be perfect,'" Woyshner, an associate professor of social studies education in the College of Education, said.
But as she walked amidst her circle of students, Woyshner provided a lesson in engagement simply by engaging them herself.
"You seized a moment there. That was good," she said as a student talked about a recent classroom student teaching moment.
"I like this modification," she said to another.
"See how hard this is?" she asked the group after she demonstrated a "fishbowl" exercise, in which some of her students sat in a small circle and passed around and described a historic object … in this case, a pasta crimper important to Woyshner's family heritage.
"This kind of teaching takes time," Woyshner emphasized to her students. "It has to be part of your goals, what you're trying to accomplish with your students."
Friendly, approachable and encouraging, Woyshner, a Temple faculty member since 1999 who has been awarded a 2005 Christian R. and Mary F. Lindback Award for Distinguished Teaching, describes teaching as a "joyful, yet rigorous" process. Just don't call it fun.
The former second- and third-grade teacher from Lackawanna, N.Y., who left teaching elementary school to study under the legendary Vito Perrone at Harvard University's Graduate School of Education, is all business in the classroom.
"Fun to me is fluff. Cotton candy is fun," Woyshner said. "But to me, being joyful is being engaged. It's being able to engage students over time."
Though she left teaching elementary school after five years in the same urban district she attended as a child, Woyshner's formative years leading a classroom still inform her scholarship and teaching at Temple daily, she said.
"By teaching in my racially, linguistically and ethnically diverse hometown, I learned about the role of community in schooling, the challenges of teaching a diverse population, and the expectations that I had for myself as a classroom teacher.
"But I wanted more," Woyshner said, noting that she pursued graduate work and her doctorate because she wanted to have both more intellectual challenges and a wider impact with students.
"Teaching for understanding goes beyond teaching for knowing," said Woyshner, part of the first generation of her family to attend college and the daughter of blue-collar, socially conscious parents.
"We apply the facts, but it's beyond kids' just regurgitating. We want kids to do projects, write papers, think in new ways."
The graduate of D'Youville College and Buffalo State College has found her niche at Temple, where, in addition to being a professor in the department of curriculum, instruction and technology in education, she is also an affiliated faculty member in urban education and women's studies.
"Temple was a great fit. My whole life is urban education.
"The students I'm teaching are a lot like me. They're hard-working folks. I see myself as that."
- By Barbara Baals
