" I watched a guy with his friend, pick up a newspaper; and start to remark on the Samsung Apple verdict.
Guy: "Wait, so what they're saying is, Samsung is the same as Apple?"
Friend: "I know, right? Makes me think twice about how much I paid for my Mac Book"
Guy: "Seriously"
So, Apple has just persuaded a jury and the US public that Samsung copied Apple's technology. Nice "own goal", Apple. The whole world now knows how good Samsung's stuff is and you provided them free advertising.

I have only ever been an apple user since the 90′s and now I've had it!!! I bought the MacBook pro back in 2008 and recently it completely packed up, I took it in to the Apple store and the "genius" told me that I needed a new logic board that would cost over $500. When I asked him why this happened he shrugged his shoulders and said these things happen…I did some research and found out that my exact model was made with a faulty nvidea card and that Apple had sued the manufacturer of the bad part and won. So I took my computer in again and asked them to fix my computer at thier cost, long story short the customer service at Sherway gardens Apple store was terrible the Genius was quite rude and condescending talking over me in a louder voice…repeating thier policy which in a nutshell was that I was 2 months too late for the free repair…that there was a public notice and there was nothing they could do for me! Public notice? Why didn't they contact me? I paid the 350 dollars for "AppleCare" I have bought 4 macs and 2 iPhones but NEVER again…Samsung here I come!!!

Apple: Holier than thou.
Most companies seem to indulge in patent warfare, but it is Apple any less guilty. These 2 links give some idea of where Apple are coming from.
Personally I think they have great products and great design. But it clearly comes at a price.

Robert Pogson wrote, "Unfortunately, no one argued in court that software patents are invalid, so the supremes likely would not go that far."
I read the earlier Groklaw run down on the jury's verdict. It was pointed out their disregard for prior art. OTOH, article through JR's link expresses that the Dutch judge through out all but one Apple patent claim, having to do with the photo application. The others had prior art invalidating those patents.
Here's the latest from Groklaw:
It's a video on YouTube, titled "Apple Jury Foreman: Here's How We Reached a Verdict", and while he answers the criticisms, he describes how the jury, under his instructions, decided that the Samsung prior art didn't invalidate an Apple patent. In doing so, I think he has revealed the biggest mistake of all made by the jury, one so large I don't believe it can be ignored. At a minimum, Apple shouldn't want to win like this. His aha moment, as he calls it, and assuming what he says on the video is accurate, was based on a misunderstanding of what constitutes prior art.
RP: "It's about time patents were limited to real innovation and not permutations of prior knowledge. Everything in software is obvious just like plain language because software is very plain language."
I totally agree with you there, Robert. A rounded corner rectangular electronics device with a bezel should not be considered patentable. Software coding on a overall general purpose type computerized platform should not be patentable. This is not innovation, it reveals absurdity of the system.
This court case has made me rethink Apple. I am more reluctant to spend money on Apple products as of now.

Also the 15 percent profit samsung is making is under reported…
Let's see here, Mr. O…
You have shown in numerous postings that you have a childish sort of understanding of laws regarding copyright, trade secrets, patents, and anti-trust. You have equally unsophisticated (and erroneous) understandings of military organizations and even world history. Your ability to use language is retarded and your personal pride in your work is non-existent. All that I can garner from your technology issues discussions is that you are merely parroting things that you find from Googling for technical terms.
Now you add evidence of your lack of comprehension of corporate finances and understanding of how operations reports are constructed.
It would be informative for everyone here for you to post a picture showing the manner in which you have tied your shoelaces. Then we would know for sure.
Clarence Moon really you need to go and do those numbers yourself.
Mobile device margin is only for its own made.
Just to be extra evil Samsung is multi company. Many sub companies 100 percent owned by the listed company.
One of those sub companies is the company that designs and makes it chips. Guess what part of Samsung is going insane for profits.
So all those screens samsung sells to apple appear as profit in. Not where you are looking. The numbers you are looking at don't take into account the hardware business of samsung.
Also the 15 percent profit samsung is making is under reported. Because the parent company takes a percentage and the sub samsung design company also takes a percentage and production done by a samsung company takes a percentage. So three slices out the pie going to samsung and you are only accounting for 1 of the slices.
Clarence Moon my statement is 100 percent correct without question Samsung as its complete entity is doing the best out of the Mobile phone business.
Yes seeing how much profit Samsung is taking is not a simple process you have a multi company mess to work out with different companies in the process taking there slice but they are all Samsung.
Apple is a single depth company with departments. Samsung mostly does not believe in departments lets just make another company they take care of that problem solved. Also if a company does not work out they can let it just go under with Samsung where Apple is stuck with the bill of the failure.
Clarence Moon really lot of people are kidding themselves and really don't know how to read to see how money is really going.
Samsung has its money spread out. So it does not appear that profitable.
George Hostler
Excellent article and responses, Mr. Pogson. I agree. IMO, the patents are way to broad to be considered innovation. We have yet to hear the judge's decision. This case may end up in the Supreme Court.
Clarence Moon
without question at moment Samsung is making the most profit out of any company out the mobile phone business.
You are only kidding yourself, Mr. O, and, as easy as that is to do, it is not changing reality:
Contributing to AAPL's "remarkable" share of the operating profits is the firm's apparent industry high operating margin of 47%. By comparison, the operating margin for Nokia (NOK) was estimated to be 3%, Samsung 15%, Research in Motion (RIMM) 8%, Motorola (MMI), – 1%, Sony Ericsson (ERIC) – 18% and LG, 0%.
Some more reading regarding the patents in this case.
This is especially for you Clarence.
Plaster repair yes humans at this stage. Fitting new plaster not so much machines do that faster.
Why do I have a feeling that oiaohm a robot of some sort. He sure as heck will fail a Turing test if he's put on one.
"Though I doubt a robot will ever be able to do as beautiful a classical plaster job as my uncle used to do when he was working in construction."
Fencing repairs yes humans need to be able to think why it broke and alter the design as required. Fitting new fences not so much a lot of that can be done by machine.
Plaster repair yes humans at this stage. Fitting new plaster not so much machines do that faster.
Just to be fun you can buy a robot plaster from italy. EDILROBOTICA http://edilrobotica.jimdo.com/
They do a lot of robot construction tools Oldman. You don't need a skilled plaster any more unless the plastering in fancy or its repair work.
Its only a matter of time before you will not need a skilled painter either for new construction.
italy if you cannot guess has a lot of old building with plastered walls that need fixing up so the robot to do the plaster job was developed there first.
That company also does a brick laying robot and foundation levelling robot. Combined that with the UK LOMAR Speed Screeder for laying the floors and foundations. You are talking very few humans required to build a building from brick. None of these robots do electrical or water or gardens yet.
Construction is highly effected by robots. Less jobs will be in Construction as well. Basically why employ extras. Plumber, Electrician and designers and there off sides might be your only humans building your house these days. 6 people max. Yes robots can clean the floors put the walls up.
Since the robots don't need to sleep they can work through the night due to lot of stuff like roofing truss and frames prepared in factory as long as walls are put up right there needs to be no cutting or use of other noisily machinery they can be bolt assembly. So they don't need to stop at night due to possible neighbourhood disturbance.
As yet this tech is not global.
Oldman reality lot of jobs are no more as human jobs. Just there are areas still using humans todo them because the machines have not got to their markets yet.
The most assured job at this point is truck driver. Even with a computer controlled truck I still expect regulators are going to be happier with a human onboard just like most commercial aircraft.
Oldman being in the USA you have not been exposed to this tech in any large amount yet.
Lot of this robot tech has to be developed so we can populate Mars and the Moon. We want to build buildings their before we send humans.
"So yes we are heading the path that the first human to touch a phone will be the human that takes it out the box."
Yeah, yeah, whatever. I think there is a fence that needs mending Hamster, why don't you get to work…
But then again, if you are right construction will be the place to be, at least until the construction robots get good enough.
Though I doubt a robot will ever be able to do as beautiful a classical plaster job as my uncle used to do when he was working in construction.
Clarence Moon
"Your biases must have blinded you to the facts, Mr. Pogson. It was reported here that Samsung had surpassed Apple in terms of unit volume but was only about a third as profitable in terms of proceeds from smart phones."
He is not. If you include the devices Samsung makes for Apple that they take a cut from Apple is behind Samsung. Even a iphone contains some parts made by Samsung.
This is Apple problem. Every device Samsung sells directly they profit from. Every device Apple sales Samsung profits from. Apple made a mistake thinking that Samsung will not scorch earth them because they will not kill a income stream. Problem is each device Samsung sells directly Samsung makes more profit than supporting Apple products. Scorch Earth Apple long term more profit for Samsung.
Clarence Moon so without question at moment Samsung is making the most profit out of any company out the mobile phone business.
So the 1 billion dollar payment from samsung to apple will be mostly Samsung returning money apple paid them.
So now Apple has two pissed off big companies after their hide. Good show apple. Its not winning a Battle it winning the War.
So yes Samsung blocking Apple products from sale directly effect Samsung bottom line. Yes oldman you share holder arguement does not hold up. The question is will the short term pain give long term gain.
Patents the current system contains nothing to prevent MAD particularly for cases like Motorola who are no longer dependant on the very thing they are fighting with. Next problem is Motorola is not just another patent troll wanting payment.
"Grow fat on what Pog? the zero margin low end? Samsung is not stupid enough to do this. They will come to terms."
There is a problem its like the china solar panels been cheep. Factories making them contain no humans most of the time and run 24/7. In fact its a laugh because one of the China based companies due to USA being stupid is looking to load all the parts to a factory up build it in the USA so the USA government learns that solar panels can be cheap and should be cheap. The problem with USA made solar panels for cost is the fact they are using old out of date factory gear. Same applies to phones and everything else.
Lot of companies are looking to return to the USA. Problem is there is going to be no employment out of this.
Zero Margin low end is not true. Production has got that good without patents a 100 dollar device to customer is profitable. Really when you break that down and don't try to by the parts by replacement channels the 100 dollar phone only contains 50 dollars or less of parts. 50% profit is nothing to laugh at. With reduced costs of production(no humans in production or quality control or packaging) a 50 dollar device could be 100 percent profitable in a few years. Interesting enough it can take less power as well using robots. Reason you don't need lighting or temp control in some areas of the production process.
So yes we are heading the path that the first human to touch a phone will be the human that takes it out the box.
"How does not having a design patent for a product make it not paid for.?"
I could resort to some convoluted justification a la Pog or the Hamster, but I am not going to here JR. Your point is well taken in this case.
Some more fodder for the patent fans:
My apologies if it is a bit off topic but it is very relevant to this court case.
@ Oldman
Forgive me if I am wrong but……
"Design patents are not that silly Pog. Of course Being a committed parasite you would love that patents disappear so that you can eventually reap the benefits of what you didn't pay for."
How does not having a design patent for a product make it not paid for.?
"Legislators and courts should chuck a lot of these silly patents. Even the silly jury had the good sense to ignore rounded corners"
Design patents are not that silly Pog. Of course Being a committed parasite you would love that patents disappear so that you can eventually reap the benefits of what you didn't pay for.
Clarence Moon
It was recently reported that Samsung has higher margins than even Apple
Your biases must have blinded you to the facts, Mr. Pogson. It was reported here that Samsung had surpassed Apple in terms of unit volume but was only about a third as profitable in terms of proceeds from smart phones.
Ergo, with more units but substantially less profits, it is mathmatically impossible for Samsung to have higher margins. Go back an check your work.
"Samsung is truly global and can laugh and grow fat without the market of the USA. "
Grow fat on what Pog? the zero margin low end? Samsung is not stupid enough to do this. They will come to terms.
Ok samsung is directly hitting back going after product bans.
–"Chris Weig with Microsoft vs Motorola as well there is every chance iphone and windows phones will be banned from sale."
Nope. All parties are beholden to shareholders who have their eye on the money. Terms will be set and agreed to and all will continue.–
Except there is a problem oldman. Motorola has no direct shareholders any more. They are just a sub department of Google. So as long as Google Advertising and other areas are making a profit Google shareholders will not care about Motorola not being profitable.
So crushing MS and Apple out of existence is beneficial to Google shareholders.
oldman basically we have 1 player in the game who does not have to negotiate at all since its does not effect there share holders either way if they sell a device or not.
Microsoft and Apple are the ones who have shareholders who will force them to settle. This is not a level playing field.
@ Clarence Moon
Clarence please explain this comment of your's to me or perhaps someone else can explain it to me because I know you do not reply to my comments.
"Taking a popular concept and driving the prices into the dirt is not the way to achieve prosperity in the industry."
How exactly is Samsung doing this.?
"Chris Weig with Microsoft vs Motorola as well there is every chance iphone and windows phones will be banned from sale."
Nope. All parties are beholden to shareholders who have their eye on the money. Terms will be set and agreed to and all will continue.
Chris Weig with Microsoft vs Motorola as well there is every chance iphone and windows phones will be banned from sale.
"What Samsung has to fear is Apple being able to charge them for their patents. If Apple gets through with it, it could set up a dangerous precedent for the Android ecosystem as a whole, as the next patent infringement charges may be directly targeted at Android. And then you've got a game changer, because manufacturers without a huge profit margin on their devices will think twice about using Android, if they have to add all kinds of new patent fees to the production cost of one of their devices."
You are missing who the dangerous precedent is for. Motorola is not after cash. Motorola is willing to go MAD. Is Microsoft and Apple. What case if over turned does is give Motorola more patents to use in a MAD assault on Microsoft and Apple.
This is the second time a company in mobile phone history has had to use MAD to get patent sanity.
Clarence Moon
Barack Obama or Mitt Romney won't be the most powerful man on earth in 2013-2016.
Well, the US President is constricted by the laws of the land stemming from the US Constitution and that statement is possibly correct in terms of what the President can directly order without any review by Congress or the Federal courts versus what the Chinese or Russian premiers can do, although it is not so certain that Wen Jiabao and Vladimir Putin are not themselves held in check by their political systems.
Collectively, though, the USA is the most influential shot-caller on the planet. The hope that those here have for the third worlders to somehow turn their huddled masses into some sort of economic advantage due to their being a giant source of consumers is rather forlorn. History has shown that the have-nots are eager to become "haves" and, given the opportunity to do just that, they will mimmic the actions of the wealthy nations and opt for the same sorts of toys, with an even more intense desire for the leading brands. They want to be seen as instantly successful and not as some sort of second rate loser who has to make-do with generics.
Clarence Moon
It is clear Samsung was declared guilty before the trial.
Well, they were declared guilty by Apple anyway. The judge and jury agreed.
That is the fate of the copycat. Rather than cloning the iPad, Samsung should have tried to invent some unique version of their own. That strategy worked great for Amazon with the Kindle series. Taking a popular concept and driving the prices into the dirt is not the way to achieve prosperity in the industry.
Mats Hagglund
Below the last line we probably would see neither great victory for Apple and Microsoft nor any benefits for Samsung, Google and Linux.
What's really crucial is economic, demographic and social global change. Most of new consumers are coming outside Europe and North America. United States Of America has not so much influence as media authors and so called advocates are still claiming. Barack Obama or Mitt Romney won't be the most powerful man on earth in 2013-2016.
Are people in west really so stupid that they believe that huge majority of consumers there outside west are going to pay 500-1000 dollars for mobile devices by M$ and Apple? Perhaps in USA millions of people see Steve Jobs as a new Jesus but hardly in Karachi, Bogota or Dakar.
@ Chris Weig
There were nine jurors not eleven.
Perhaps you should read this to get a better perspective on the verdict……
keith forsyth
as an apple customer i have really had enough of apple now they are bullies who bully the competition . ive has 3 iphone,s now but switched to galaxy 3 way better and cheaper apple move over youve had your day
Chris Weig
People are not going to interpret the Samsung loss in the way expressed in this questionable anectdote, rather they are going to see it as it was, the exposure of a copycat who violated the law. No worries, as the saying goes.
Quite frankly, I think most people won't care one way or another whether Samsung did or did not rip off Apple's designs or infringed on their patents.
What Samsung has to fear is Apple being able to charge them for their patents. If Apple gets through with it, it could set up a dangerous precedent for the Android ecosystem as a whole, as the next patent infringement charges may be directly targeted at Android. And then you've got a game changer, because manufacturers without a huge profit margin on their devices will think twice about using Android, if they have to add all kinds of new patent fees to the production cost of one of their devices.
That said, right now, Samsung hasn't really any other choice than to support Android, as they have heavily invested in the platform. It'll remain to be seen if they will rely more on Windows Phone as an alternative.
BTW, there's this article at Ars Technica which suggests why the jury reached a verdict so fast. It's… disturbing, regardless of this case. It's basically saying that from the 11 jurors, 10 decided to play braindead and follow the 11th like good sheep.
It is obvious Apple resorted to the court to stop competition knowing they don't stand a chance against companies like Samsung.
The way the verdict came exposed the very core issue of nationalism with the fact Samsung was denied to defend itself in numerous times like the prevention of prior arts.
Not only that verdict showed how US software patent system is broken beyond, it exposed Apple as a bully worse than Microsoft. Historically, Apple products are nothing more than refined copies of the original inventors while claiming their own creations. The verdict also displayed misconduct from the jurors, one of them holds a patent.
It is clear Samsung was declared guilty before the trial.
Clarence Moon wrote:
"Also the dangers of being second in these kinds of markets."
If you think Apple is going to get out of this (patent war) unscathed you are foolish and mistaken. Everyone will pay, everyone but the lawyers. The patent system is the enemy, not Samsung, Apple or Microsoft. They are just taking advantage of a misguided and broken patent system. While you are laughing at Samsung the next generation of tablets will most likely cost you more than what they would have as the manufactures brace themselves for the litigation/protection payments that surely must come.
Samsung should do a Sir Richard Branson: http://helpmyseo.com/seo-blog/613-virgin-social-media-stunt-ba.html
Clarence Moon
Kozmcbear and the doughboy seem to both be advocating the old advice "When life gives you lemons…lemonade!" for Samsung, but it is out of despair, I think. It just goes to show how dangerous it can be to leave technical items to juries, judges, and lawyers in general. Also the dangers of being second in these kinds of markets.
In another thread the boy down under (he claims) has fallen in love with SJVN's notion of MAD and expects the Motorola cavalry to ride to the rescue of Samsung and others who may have been harshly treated at the hands of Apple or, better yet, Microsoft. I guess he has seen On the Beach once too often for his own good!
Samsung should market the hell out the story, a billion dollars in marketing will go far!
Either Apple products are better or Samsung products are the same. That's what the case was about. Whether Samsung COPIED Apple.
If Apple has a better product then Samsungs can't be a copy. Don't try to say its about the equity of the parts because Samsung makes Apple parts. So to say someone looking at price only in this situation isnt in Apples target market is silly. The only difference is price according to the jury. Apple can no longer argue that they have a superior product because it would mean its different.
Introducing the all new Sampple sPhone, thats 'S' for Smart design.
This new phone 'looks' so much like the iPhone, that we feel you should pay 2x the cost compared to our regular line of smartphones.
Customers have seen how my Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7 blow away the iPhone and iPad and now this verdict will draw more attention.
Clarence Moon's scenario misses the fact that Samsung is an established brand with a strong customer base. They don't produce "knockoffs" in anyone's mind. Apple may have indeed just convinced the World that Samsung has produced an iPad sibling. If so that would be a terrible irony for Apple.
It has been said many times that a patent war is a painful and costly experience for everyone except the lawyers. No one wins except the lawyers. Samsung lost a billion dollars (maybe), Apple may have lost their precious brand differentiation. And we, the consumers, will pay more for our technology.
Clarence Moon No worries until the grinding halt.
The Samsung vs Apple is highly heated but friendly style of patent battle.
Clarence Moon
The whole world now knows how good Samsung's stuff is and you provided them free advertising.
Your minimalist world probably prevents you from understanding the mass market's perceptions regarding originals and knock-offs, Mr. Pogson. It is unfortunate for your need to get some understanding that Enrique's view is stuck in the same rut.
People are not going to interpret the Samsung loss in the way expressed in this questionable anectdote, rather they are going to see it as it was, the exposure of a copycat who violated the law. No worries, as the saying goes.

February is National Children's Dental Health Month... what about promoting a National Children's Chiropractic Month?
"Over 50 percent of children ages 5-9 have at least one cavity or filling," Dr. Poonam Alaigh, Commissioner of New Jersey Department of Health and Senior Services said on njtoday.net. Tooth decay is one of the most common problems for children; the Web site says it is five times more common than asthma and seven times as common as hay fever.
Every family knows about the benefits from regular oral hygiene, but do families in our community know about the benefits from spinal hygiene? If tooth decay is that prevalent in children, just think about the amount of stress on their spine that hasn't manifested into symptoms or conditions. Everyone knows that the cavity is always present before the tooth starts to hurt. Why is that? That's because the cavity is a sign of an unhealthy tooth and chances are it's only getting worse with time. The National Library of Medicine even recognizes that cavities may be symptomless.
So let me ask you again, is there a National Children's Chiropractic Month? If not, why does our community do such a great job of taking care part of the body that is mostly cosmetic? The spine should be maintained with proper check-ups from birth onward by a professional whose sole objective is to help restore any areas of malfunction called vertebral subluxation.
Vertebral subluxation is almost 100 percent synonymous with cavity, the only difference being vertebral subluxation effects every area of health and vitality in the body. If your child has a vertebral subluxation, their health vitality is less than 100 percent of their potential. If you're saying, "I'm glad Johnny and Meagan don't have back or neck pain so we don't have to bring them to the chiropractor this month." That's synonymous to, "I'm glad Johnny and Meagan don't have tooth aches, so we don't have to bring them to the dentist this month."
Your body can have areas of malfunction, leading to more problems with time, without you ever realizing it for yourself or your child.
"It's never too early to instill in children the benefits of good oral hygiene. By building the proper foundation of dental care, parents can set the stage for a lifetime of healthy smiles," noted Alaigh.
I would like to see a National Children's Chiropractic Month and say it's never too early or late to bring your infant, child or even teenager to your family chiropractor for a spinal check-up ensuring they have the ability to live up to their potential.

Ugandan President compliments GLUK's name and Courses
His Exellency Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, President of the Republic of Uganda publicly acknowledged his admiration for the name Great Lakes University of Kisumu. While addressing guests during the launch of the GLUK Educational Trust Fund, the Ugandan head of state repeatedly lauded GLUK's vision of choosing a name that envisioned a united and more focused Great Lakes region.
President Museveni also commended GLUK on offering an academic course on agribusiness, elucidating that making money out of agriculture was a key factor in driving poverty out of the great lakes region. The Great Lakes region in Africa consists of Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Malawi, DRC, Rwanda, and Burundi.

Winamac gave Whiting a big dose of Tyler Katschke early, and Katschke and the Warriors made big plays often.
The Class A No. 3 Warriors survived a huge test in sectional play with a 41-20 throttling of No. 7 Whiting on Friday night in front of a packed house at Roudebush Stadium.
The Warriors (11-0) travel to West Central (8-3) next week in the Sectional 41 final. Whiting finishes 9-2. Winamac thrashed West Central 51-0 in the regular season.
Katschke was the main workhorse on Friday night, rushing for 200 yards and four touchdowns on 29 carries.
"We came out focused. We knew we had to be physical," Katschke said.
The big senior fullback was especially busy early. In the game's first 15 minutes, he had 141 yards rushing and three touchdowns on 23 carries.
His 4-yard TD run with 9:27 left in the second quarter gave the Warriors an early 21-7 lead.
Katschke, who also starts at outside linebacker on defense, had 23 carries with over 33 minutes still left in the game.
"I was wore out a little bit but I just knew I had to keep going keep going to get some yards for the team," he said.
Katschke had plenty of help from his teammates.
Play-maker Levi Schultz returned a punt 40 yards for a touchdown with less than a minute to go in the first half, but the play was called back by a holding penalty. Schultz didn't flinch, running the next play 29 yards for a score to give the Warriors a 28-14 lead at the half.
"I knew my teammates were going to block well for me on that play," Schultz said. "Brant Howard and Wyatt Spence on the left side opened it up for me, Keegan Kasten. It was great offensive line play tonight."
Schultz talked about the beginning of the game when the Warriors set the tone by grabbing an early two-touchdown lead.
"Offensively we really wanted to show our physicality and we showed that. We knew that we were a pretty physical team and we showed that tonight," he said.
As for feeding Katschke so much early, Schultz said, "We saw something that worked and the line was getting a great push."
The Warriors defense opened the second half with a three-and-out. The stop was keyed by a diving open-field tackle by Jeffery Nies that took away a possible big play, followed by a sack on third-and-long by Mitch Reed.
After Katschke was stuffed on a fourth-and-1 play in Whiting territory, he made what was arguably the play of the game.
With the Oilers driving, Katschke stripped a ball-carrier, and the speedy Branden DeGroot picked up the ball and no one was going to catch him as he dashed 60 yards to paydirt to give the Warriors a 35-14 lead with 4:21 left in the third quarter.
Whiting, which scrapped its run game in the second half due to the score and leading rusher Ethan Young leaving late in the second quarter with an injury, answered with a nice drive that was capped by a 7-yard TD pass from Alec Veloz to Mitchell Alicea.
But Schultz recovered the ensuing onside kick — the Oilers recovered the opening one of the game but were unsuccessful on their final three tries.
Katschke then showed off his speed by outrunning the Whiting defense 42 yards for a score to make it 41-20 with 29 seconds left in the third.
Nies had an interception in the fourth quarter. Whiting's last possession of the game got a little ugly, as after back-to-back personal foul penalties by the bench Oiler coach Jeff Cain was ejected from the game.
"I think an assistant coach popped off and got the flag," Roth said. "I don't know if Jeff then said something or an assistant, but the head coach gets yanked."
The dual penalties resulted in a third-and-50 situation and the Warriors were easily able to force a punt.
The Warriors didn't attempt a single pass in the game. They didn't have to, outrushing Whiting 407-35. Veloz finished 21 of 37 for 222 yards and two touchdowns for the Oilers.
Following a 53-yard kickoff return by Keegan Rooke, Young had a 13-yard TD run to tie the game at 7-7 in the first quarter for Whiting.
Later, a Quest Fritz sack set up a fourth-and-17 situation, but Veloz was still able to capitalize with a 20-yard TD pass to Martin Petruf that made it a 21-14 game with 4:27 left in the first half.
That play was again set up by a big kickoff return by Rooke.
"He's a great returner," Roth said. "We had been giving up under 10 yards a return and he blew us up."
But the Oilers did lose a fumble on a kickoff that set up Katschke's third TD of the game early in the second quarter. All-state kicker Zach Markley recovered the fumble. The Warriors then went to the squib kick after Rooke's second big return.
Markley, who is also a track standout, later ran for 25 yards on a fake punt but lost a fumble on the play early in the fourth quarter. But the Warriors were able to hold off the Oilers from there.
"It was a great game. It took a whole team effort," senior halfback/linebacker Kasten said. "We worked hard this whole week in practice. We knew this was going to be one of our tougher games and we're glad we saw some really good competition. They were a great team.
"Our offensive line, it started with them. Then our backs made some cuts, great coaching, it was just an all-around good win."
The Warriors will be seeking their first-ever back-to-back sectional titles next week at West Central and fourth all-time.
Roth said Whiting coach Cain complimented his squad after the game.
"He said he heard a lot about this team being one of my best. I told him we're getting there. He said, 'We've never played a team as physical as you guys.'"

per rotoworld (from MLB.com)
C.J. Wilson has to decided to undergo season-ending surgery to remove bone chips and bone spurs from his left elbow.
Wilson is expected to be fully healthy in time for spring training, as no muscular damage was found in his elbow. Wilson emerged as the Rangers' closer during the second half last season and began this year by converting 22-of-24 save chances, but allowed 12 runs while blowing two saves in his last eight appearances. Eddie Guarado has taken over ninth-inning duties in Texas, with Frank Francisco setting him up.
"I'm really looking forward to next year, that's the biggest thing," Wilson said from California, where he has been seeing Dr. Lewis Yocum. "This year I have been handicapped the whole time. I probably should have had this done at the end of last year. I drove the wheels off that car and now it's time to get a new one."
The other possibility was to have a cortisone shot and try to pitch the rest of the season, but the discovery of bone chips as well as the spurs made Wilson decide to have the surgery this week. He will be in a sling for 7-10 days and could begin a throwing program before the season is over.
"I'm relieved," Wilson said. "My main focus is to come back and play for next year and the rest of my career."

Medicare Terminology
Helping Ohioans Understand Medicare
Here at the Law Office of Margaret H. Kreiner, I focus exclusively on elder care law and estate planning. I help older clients and their families who are struggling to help.
How will we pay for nursing home care for an aging parent? What will happen to the assets Mom and Dad have worked so hard to build? Are there any insurance options available to middle class families?
The goal of my firm is to help families address these needs for the most positive outcome. Contact me for a confidential consultation with a skilled Medicare and Medicaid attorney.
Medicare Terminology
I have included the following Medicare definitions to help you become more informed about Medicare and Medicare drug coverage:
Co-pay or co-payment – A fixed fee that subscribers to a medical plan must pay for their use of specific medical services covered by the plan.
Deductible – This is an amount contained in a clause of an insurance policy that relieves the insurance company or Medicare for an initial loss of the kind insured against. This amount is the responsibility of the person covered under the policy.
Federal poverty level – These are poverty guidelines issued each year by the Department of Health and Human Services. They are used for administrative purposes including determination of financial eligibility for certain federal programs.
Formulary – This is a list of prescription medications for which a plan will provide coverage.
Medigap policy – This is health insurance that pays for some of your costs in the original Medicare Program and for some care which it does not cover. It is informally called the "Doughnut Hole." If you are covered by a Medicare + Choice Plan, you don't need a Medigap policy.
Medicaid – This is a program that pays for medical assistance for certain persons and families with low incomes and resources. This program is jointly funded by federal and state governments. The program includes medical long-term care assistance and assistance to low-income pregnant women and poor children.
Medicare – Medicare is the national health insurance program for the following individuals:
- Persons age 65 and older
- Some persons under age 65 with disabilities
- Persons with end stage renal disease (ESRD) which is permanent kidney failure and requires either dialysis or kidney transplantation
Medicare Part A – This is the Medicare program that pays for hospital and related services. It also covers limited stays in nursing homes, home health care, hospice care, inpatient psychiatric care, and blood transfusions. It does not pay for assisted living facilities, but may cover the costs of some services such as home health care and doctor visits.
Medicare Part B – This is the Medicare program that pays for some outpatient hospital and mental health services, doctor services (not routine physical exams, but many preventive screenings), laboratory fees, and medical equipment.
Medicare Part D – This is a Medicare plan which provides coverage for prescription drugs for eligible persons. This program begins January 1, 2006.
For a confidential consultation about Medicare drug coverage and additional elder law issues, contact the skilled lawyer at the Law Office of Margaret H. Kreiner in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

Bulls host FCS' Morgan State in home opener
The football team will look to get past defensive back Kenneth Ridley (3) and the Morgan State defense this weekend at UB Stadium. Courtesy of John Moore
There has been a lot of talk about the football team in the past week. When most people doubted Buffalo (0-1), the squad hung tough with the ferocious, then-No. 6 Georgia Bulldogs (1-0) of the Southeastern Conference.
Although the scoreboard (45-23 Georgia) was not an example of their play, the Bulls look to build upon what they started this weekend against a Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) team: the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference's Morgan State (1-0).
The Bears were a middle-of-the-road team in the MEAC in 2011, as they finished with a 5-6 record last season.
In their most recent meeting in 1998, the Bulls hosted Morgan State in what would result in a 35-17 win, evening the series matchup at 1-1.
Last weekend, Morgan State defeated Sacred Heart 30-27 in a thrilling, four-overtime battle. It should be interesting to see how prepared and rested the Bears will be.
The Bulls, who went 3-3 at home last year, are looking to take control of their home field advantage, seeking their first win of the season in their home opener.
Morgan State was just 2-4 on the road last year. However, with solid defensive backs, this is not a team to overlook.
Leading the charge on offense for the Bears is sophomore quarterback Seth Higgins. The 6-foot-5, 225-pound quarterback uses his strong, accurate arm and good footwork as a dual threat on the field. Last week against Sacred Heart, he completed 14 of 31 passes for 153 yards.
On the ground, running back Travis Davidson is one of the best returning backs in the MEAC. Last week, the senior rushed for 107 yards and two touchdowns in the Bears' season opener, and his big-play ability will be something to watch.
Junior cornerback Joe Rankin is a standout defensive player. In his third season at Morgan State, he has started 23 games and recorded 55 tackles, 6 interceptions and 18 pass breakups. He has respectable coverage ability, and the coaching staff says he could eventually become the best player to ever play defensive back at Morgan State.
Key Matchup: Buffalo's passing attack vs. Morgan State's defensive backs
After a solid showing last week against Georgia, junior quarterback Alex Zordich looks forward to facing a unit that features Rankin, one of the best players on the team. The much-hyped junior was an honorable mention for last week's MEAC Defensive Back of the Week. He finished last game against Sacred Heart with six tackles, three pass breakups and an interception that he returned 72 yards for a touchdown. It was Rankin's first college interception return for a touchdown.
Look for junior wide receiver Alex Neutz to be matched up with Rankin early and often, though Zordich has no problem throwing the ball around to his other targets, like junior wideout Fred Lee and junior tight end Alex Dennison. Neutz caught five passes for 52 yards and a touchdown against Georgia. The Bulls should be able to open things up against a team that gave up 266 yards on Saturday.
He said it:
"Now he has a chance to get back out there and play the game that he loves, with the players that he loves and cares and respects, and I think our football team will be excited about having Khalil back in there."
- Head coach Jeff Quinn on the return of junior linebacker Khalil Mack
The Bulls can't overlook this game. Morgan State has a few players who can defend the pass well. The Bulls have plenty of weapons on offense, including: junior running back Branden Oliver, Neutz, Lee and Dennison.
If the Bulls stick to their plan of establishing the ground game, Oliver (30 carries last week) should pick up where he left off last Saturday and passing lanes should open up for the offense.
It will be a battle on the outside and Neutz will be essential. However, with the help of Buffalo's passing threats, there should be no problem keeping the defense honest.
On defense, Mack's return should be a big boost for a squad that frustrated the Georgia offense at times last weekend.
If the Bulls can play this weekend like they did in Georgia there should be no problem controlling this game from start to finish.

Welcome to Jerry's Ad Tricks, a well respected and admired advertising agency for almost 50 years. Led by current CEO Jerry Jones (who re-named the company after himself), the company is the richest ad agency in the United States (just barely surpassing it's nearest competitor, The Snyder Show). While having an amazing run of success during the 1990's, representing huge Fortune 100 companies and launching industry-leading campaigns, Jerry's Ad Tricks was in a 10-year slump, as most of the leading creative minds from the 90's had either retired, started their own companies, or switched to higher-paying jobs at competitive agencies.
In desperate need of a huge account with a well respected company, Jerry meets with Bob Schlokendock, CEO of XXX Toys, Inc, the most popular toy manufacturer of late, in an attempt to get back on the horse. After wooing Bob with some brilliant ideas and lofty goals, Jerry lands the coveted advertising account for the upcoming year.
With a giant budget in hand, Jerry sets out to build a specialized team to execute the campaign. After much searching, he hires Wade Phillips to be his Chief Creative Director. Wade, formally Creative Director of the Chargin' Campaigns Agency, had shown a strong penchant for hard-knocking ideas (yet tenderness with his staff). Jerry then promotes Jason Garret, a former art-director for Jerry's Ad Tricks, to Creative Director. Garrett, a super-geek, would balance out Wade's creativity with solid logic and real-world management experience.
The new campaign launched mid-September to mixed-results. There was much to-do in the media about the new-look XXX Toys, and consumers were excited to see the re-brand, but the first round of executions were just so-so. It wasn't until early October that afterthought-hire Miles Austin, a happy-faced programmer, came up with an amazing idea for a new application that would integrate XXX Toy's new website with Facebook and Twitter. The idea was a huge hit, and the social-media-plex was booming with giddy-ness about the new tool. Sales were up, and consumer loyalty was high.
But then came December, the most important month of sales for XXX Toys. With the previous 2 months of success, Bob Schlokendock was expecting to put Santa's elves out of business with record-breaking sales. The new Christmas-themed promotions seemed to rub consumers the wrong way and didn't create much excitement. In the end, XXX Toys fired Jerry's Ad Tricks and moved on with a new agency that January.
There are many reasons for the failure - consider the following:
- The IT company Jerry outsources to (First-Line Defense) blew it big time when a hacker managed to steal hundreds of thousands of credit card numbers and personal data from the XXX Toy's website database.
- The public relations company Jerry hired (O-Line PR) to clean up that data security leak left by First-Line Defense failed miserably. While O-Line PR is well respected, they come from old-school print and television, and didn't have much experience putting out fires related to the digital world.
- Was it Wade Phillips' - the Executive Creative Director - fault? Ultimately he is responsible for 2 things - the ideas and making sure everyone else executes those ideas to perfection. While there were many good ideas, perhaps the execution was not on-point?
- Was it Jason Garrett's fault? Hired to backup Wade and run the production team, you could say that he had some success in the beginning, but was often predicable, causing his production team many late nights.
- Was it Jerry Jones' fault? He hand-picked the staff that he thought could get the job done. No no, that's silly - besides, you cannot fire the CEO who has been better to his share-holders than any other advertising CEO, right?
- Was it Tony Romo, the lead Art Director's fault? Everyone said the print/media/online branding looked fabulous, but maybe if Tony had stayed later at work rather than going to happy hour, everything would have been ever better?
- Perhaps the competition was better? The Giant Blue Ad Company and the Iggles Ideas Inc. agencies launched better campaigns for their respective toy company clients, particularly during December.
- Or maybe because of all the pre-launch buzz, consumers just expected too much?

Reporter: Rachel Schaerr | Videographer: Jemon Haskins
Lynchburg, VA - Ten people were killed and nearly 70 others injured after a plane plowed into spectators at a Reno, Nevada air race over the weekend.
Four pilots have died in crashes just this year. But there's one very important distinction --- the crash that happened in Reno was at an air race, not an air show, like the one put on in Lynchburg back in May.
Some speculate that pilots in air races take greater risks because they are competing for as much as $1 million in prizes.
They were terrifying final moments in Reno.
"Parts and things were flying through the air," one spectator told reporters.
"It was just like a war zone. There were body parts all over," another spectator said after Friday's air race.
Air Show organizers in Lynchburg call the fiery crash a wake-up call.
"The takeaway message is to be as safe as you can, and we work hard at that," said Jones Stanley, president of Lynchburg's Regional Air Show Corporation.
He says unlike air races, pilots know not to test their limits.
"The F-18 airplanes that the Blue Angels fly are capable of going the speed of sound. They'd be capable of breaking half the windows across Wards Road if they pushed it to that speed," said Stanley.
Show performers are required to go through extensive health checks, an aerobatic box must be cleared around the performance area, and the crowd must stay 1,500 feet away from the show line.
"If somebody gets killed out here on 460 you can say, 'Gosh that's never gonna happen to me so I'm not gonna get on 460 ever again.' People have to have a life and you have to accept that as life itself," saud Stanley.
It could be six to nine months before we know for sure whether mechanical failure, human error or a possible medical condition is to blame for the Reno crash.
It's a tragedy that's going down in history. Organizers of the Reno show say it is the first time in 40 years a spectator was injured or killed in an air race.
A Blue Angels pilot resigned after admittedly performing a dangerous maneuver at Lynchburg's Air Show back in May. Stanley says the crowd was never in danger because the safety observer acted quickly and ordered the jets to land.
But these crashes haven't deterred them from going forward with air shows in our area. Stanley says they've applied to have the Thunderbirds and Blue Angels perform in Lynchburg in 2013.

ADAM PUTNAMâS BODY DISPERSALS
Lynne Marshâs Performative Spaces
Pictures of volcanoes are necessarily
landscapes-in-motion. What looks to be a still image is not so.
Beneath the surface of an ordinary-looking and apparently
stationary mountain, something elemental is stirring. Lynne
Marshâs Crater, 2005, was recently installed in a large
room at the Cinémathèque Québécoise in Montreal.
Three curved screens formed an enclosure wherein
several people could stand, while images flowed across the
screens to create a panoramic illusion of circling above Mount
Saint Helensâ volcanic crater. This simulation of the volcano
originated with NASA scientists, who used a ãThermal Infrared
Multispectral Scannerä to create a pictorial equivalent of the
land massâ varying temperatures and densities. The artist has
taken this imagery and further manipulated it, doubling it (the
projection appeared on both sides of the screens),
and adding an electronic soundtrack.

installation, 3 curved screens, surround sound, and fuchsia
lights, diameter: 16 feet (courtesy of the artist; photo:
Mathieu Laverdière)
At various moments, then, the images flowing by
us have been subjected to a range of interventions, for
scientific, aesthetic, and perhaps ideological purposes.
Eventually, Marsh makes her moving panorama tilt, rock, and
swirl at high speed, resulting in a disintegration of the
projected image, and at the same time disorienting the viewer
positioned at the epicenter of these escalating special effects.
Mandated to preserve and document film culture, the Cinémathèque
thus provided an apt setting for Marshâs installation, which
interrogates some of the boundaries of contemporary cinematic
viewer-image meltdown is reminiscent of Michael Snowâs famous
experimental film La Région Centrale, 1970, which starts
with a slow panoramic sweep of remote scenery, brought to a
point of frenzied unintelligibility. The landscape imagery which
provides the point of departure for La Région Centrale is
a conventionally realistic piece of film footage, though. While
Crater does rely on moving, film-like images, it begins
with a highly artificial and already-mediated environment, drawn
from twenty-first century cyberculture. As with much of Marshâs
artwork to date, we immediately recognize a kinship to both the
fictionalized landscapes created for scientific research or
military strategy, and the digitized worlds crafted for
entertainment purposes, in myriad computer games.
The images' colors and textures contribute to
this game-like quality: clashing magentas, violets, acid
yellows, and other electric colors impart a familiarly ambiguous
texture/resolution to this geographic terrain. Certain
commonalities between the artworks by Snow and Marsh are
nonetheless noteworthy. Both La Région Centrale and
Crater imply an absent human consciousness instead of
representing a particular body. Both use existing visual
technologies to challenge the very idea of visual mastery. Both
rely on sublime disorientation as an effect which cannot,
however, be definitively attributed to either technology or
Marshâs installation at the Cinémathèque also
evoked some of the elaborate visual contrivances and inventions
of the nineteenth century. Panoramas, dioramas, cosmoramas,
cycloramas, and other related apparati anticipated the emergence
of the cinema, as they sought to expand the perceptual effects
of the conventional two-dimensional picture. A still image would
sometimes be animated by light and sound. At times screens would
slide and shift position. On other occasions the viewers
themselves would be displaced, through features such as moving
Crucially, the early panorama sought to surpass
the usual expectations of a viewer confronting a still,
two-dimensional image. The panoramic image is never simply in
front of you. It exceeds your field of vision, and surrounds
you. Youâre inside it. Marsh is certainly not the only
contemporary artist or scholar to employ a retrospective gaze,
revisiting the early days of proto-photographic or
proto-cinematic practices to shed new light on our contemporary
image-world. The historian of photography Geoffrey Batchen, for
instance, has not only investigated specific experiments and
chemical processes which contributed to the photograph's
emergence, but has also attempted to describe a more ineffable
ãdesire for photographyä which came to lodge itself in the
imaginations of so many artists, writers, scientists, and
Oliver Grau has argued that early panoramas now fascinate us
because they seem to prefigure the impulse towards interactivity
and immersion which is so prevalent in our current visual
Marshâs artwork can be regarded as a timely intervention into
this ever-evolving ãdesire for immersion.ä
Immersion implies the permeability of bodies,
objects and space. Marshâs work does not deliver immersion as a
fait accompli, but rather, explores the limits of
figure-ground relationships. Standing inside Craterâs
screen-enclosure, the visitor tries to get her bearings while
necessarily becoming a ãfigureä measured against a mutable and
ever-moving ãground.ä This physically-present visitor comes to
stand in for the avatar-like figures which are prominent in
Marshâs earlier work. In works such as Cowgirl & Future
Stories, 1998, Venus·I See Blue, 1998, Calling,
2000, and Screeners, 2002, looped video projections show
single or multiple figures, against a sequence of environments
that are difficult to categorize, as they can variously be
construed as landscape, extraterrestrial space, cyberspace,
magnified views, or merely decorative visual environments.
Nowhere, though, do these indeterminate
environment/spaces function as mere backdrops to the human
action in the foreground. Instead, in scenarios reminiscent of
the gaming world, the spatial environment becomes a realm of
action and fantasy, activated by a player/atavar. In Cowgirl & Future Stories, a single
costumed body surges across and over a spectacular space/ground
that resembles an uninhabited planet. The background footage is
of the planet Mars, courtesy of NASA once again.

The planet's orangey-gold surface is modulated by
topographical variations÷hillocks, ravines, depressions and
plains. As is often the case with computer simulations, though,
the image's imperfect resolution means that the object-world can
easily and suddenly become strange and uncanny. One moment the
background is visually convincing. Textures and surface
appearances then morph, and this world is instantly drained of
its reality effect. Without warning, the planet's surface has
become spongiform. It is suspiciously porous and pixellated.
Substance dissolves into code.
Texture is crucial to the establishment of
verisimilitude, especially when immersion is promised. It is the
litmus test for the visual articulation of digital data. As Grau
has suggested, immersive effects are most impressive when they
ãappeal not only to the eyes but to all other senses so that the
impression arises of being completely in an artificial world.ä3
Texture is how the visual becomes polysensorial. While NASA
never publicly divulges how it enhances its raw material, we do
know that the gaming industry has promoted the development of
specialized cadres of artist/technicians, including such experts
as ãlighting artists,ä ãtexture artists,ä ãenvironment artists,ä
and ãcharacter modelers.ä An Electronic Arts job description for
a ãcharacter modelerä states that the successful candidate will
be expected to ãbuild basic textures, apply textures to models;
provide feedback to texture artists as necessary,ä and further,
to ãbuild textures that are resolution independent.ä4
The gaming universe is evidently subjected to a
high degree of anxiety about texture, and its ability to be
ãresolution independent.ä
Without texture, representation remains at the
level of the animated cartoon÷the surface texture of living
bodies remains undifferentiated from that of the object world
into which they continually crash. Yet, some day, it is
promised, artificial worlds will be ultra-realistic,
ultra-immersive, and fully sensorial. This preoccupation with
texture, coupled with the desire for immersion, suggests that we
are living through a pivotal moment in the rendition of
realistic effects, and in the definition of realism. As cinema
and photography are reconfigured by their increasing reliance on
digitized special effects÷in the names of otherworldly fantasy,
scientific accuracy, or gritty authenticity÷the grammar of
realism is inevitably, and irreversibly, transformed.

The spatial envelope that is not ãresolution
dependentä surely poses a threat to a vulnerable human body, and
so it is that costumes are necessary, in the way that even the
skimpiest of super-hero costumes is always necessary. The
costume functions as a prophylactic, protecting the vulnerable
body within from outside violence and toxicity. But the costume
signifies in other ways, because it is inevitably a fashion
statement as well. Within any given social milieu, the
fashionably costumed body is empowered through its constructed
The background environment in Marshâs video-loops
is sometimes rudimentary. In Calling, this degree-zero
landscape consists of a mottled beige ground or planet-like
surface repeatedly traversed by a single female figure. This
character is tall, slim, and dressed in a bright blue jumpsuit
with matching headgear and goggles. She moves towards the
picture plane÷that is to say, towards us÷then turns and retreats
towards the horizon-line which defines the rear of the fictional

Back and forth, back and forth, and then she
collapses. As with the worlds of videogames, however, this
apparent expiration or ãdeathä does not signal the end. Rather,
it is merely one of a predetermined sequence of gestures and
actions which characters are programmed to perform. The viewer
can therefore be sure of a repetition of every gesture,
including that crumple to the ground, a miraculous
resuscitation, and a return to the paced-out measurement of the
space. Somehow, though, Marsh has managed to imbue this cartoony
character with pathos, and it is easy to construct a narrative
following the conventional storylines of the science-fiction
genre÷a renegade space-traveler got stranded on this
god-forsaken patch of wilderness. When she moves yet again
towards the horizon, we might even imagine that there is another
world, beyond this denuded and apocalyptic one, to which she
might escape.
Although Marsh has created moving figures in
these video projections, their actions are occasionally slowed
down and stuttering, in a way that is typical of digital media.
Then, momentarily and perhaps accidentally, a still image
appears. These brief moments of stillness are nonetheless
powerful. It is also true that whenever Marshâs artwork is
reproduced in formats such as this magazine, there is also,
necessarily, a hiatus of movement. We see a figure suspended
above an amorphous and perhaps sublime spatial field. Such
images often provoke comparison with the long history of
landscape painting and, in particular, images of single figures
interacting with and responding to natural environments.
The extraordinary paintings of the
nineteenth-century German artist Caspar David Friedrich, for
instance, have human figures with their backs to the viewer,
avatar-style. But these figures very conspicuously do not move;
they are forever rapt, in a prolonged moment of stillness and
contemplation. Such paintings remind us of other dreams of
immersion, very different from those of the soldier or gamer
who, determined to remain uncontaminated by his surroundings,
repeatedly acts to eradicate the elements of that environment
which he deems alien or monstrous. Such paranoid scenarios imply
that a high psychic price can be paid for the privilege of
In Marshâs work the repetition of gesture,
replication of spaces, and evidence of cloning can all have
dystopian connotations. Calling's single pacing figure is
multiplied in Screeners, where it constitutes a cloned
phalanx zooming through space at high speed, with military

The formation's regularity suggests a territory
to be conquered, and a mission to be accomplished. But Marsh
undercuts the potentially sinister implications of such
scenarios, often with humorous details. These ladies perform
their flight maneuvers with the pleasing synchronicity of a
Busby Berkeley choreography. Scrutiny then reveals that their
spacecraft of choice are bargain-basement plastic sleds. It is
through such moments of stillness, disjuncture, or humor, that
Marshâs vignettes register their aesthetic distance from the
everyday world of digitized spatiality. These moments are also
how Marsh succeeds in reviving some of the emancipatory promises
of cyberspace, of space travel, and of pop culture.
If the question of immersion pertains most
directly to the worlds of games and cyberspace, it is
interesting to note that Marshâs recent video-loop, Ballroom,
2004, avoids appropriated simulation, while furthering her
exploration the figure-ground or body-space problem.

Ballroom, 2004, continuous looped projection with sound,

In an old-fashioned ballroom in England, filled
with shimmering lights, an elegantly clad woman is suspended
upside down from the central chandelier. The video simply shows
this female figure, suspended and continually spinning.
Initially it might seem that this artwork doesnât grapple with
the same issues of spatial illusionism and perceptual breakdown,
because we are much more likely to accept the photographic and
social truthfulness of this place. The coherence of the scene
is, however, an illusion that can only be sustained by the
outside viewer. If we imaginatively put ourselves in the place
of this twirling protagonist and see the world through her eyes,
the surrounding environment begins to disintegrate, just as did
the panoramic volcano of Crater. Maybe this is simply
what itâs like to be immersed in the everyday world

The following tips on how to deal with various situations can help serve as a guide. Each situation is different, and may call for a different response, but some of the basics of how to deal with stressors or challenges can apply to many situations. Here are some ideas on how to deal when facing a challenge in life.
Stay CalmMy first suggestion in how to deal with a stressful situation involves calming your body's stress response. Use stress relief techniques to help reverse the fight-or-flight mechanism that your body uses when stressed. If you are truly in physical danger, this stress response can help you stay safe; if the threat you face is more psychological, or can't be fought off physically, a perpetually-triggered stress response can leave you feeling drained and more emotionally reactive, not to mention more susceptible to illness.
Try these 5 minute stress relief strategies, and move on to page 2: feel your feelings.

What is Home and School?
Our Home and School Association is a critical resource of support for the students and faculty. From funding teacher grants, to planning enrichment opportunities, to funding and executing facilities improvements, to running fantastic social events, our home and school makes a tremendous impact on the Greenfield student's educational and social experience.
Every parent or guardian of a child enrolled at Greenfield, as well as all faculty and staff are AUTOMATICALLY members of the Home and School Association. How you choose to support the organization is up to you: through volunteering, donations, identifying enrichment opportunities or donors, or participating in committees.
Our Mission is "working together to enrich our children's education". That means we are empowered and encouraged to provide all Greenfield students with the resources to create a rich and deep elementary and middle school education. To achieve this mission we have three basic strategies:
- Use parent-teacher collaboration to identify how we can work together to help our community of learners, provide more support and resources for parents, guardians, and teachers
- Find ways for all Home and School Members to become involved
- Engage the larger community for support - volunteer, financial, and cultural resources
I've got lots of ideas, and I'm sure you do too. Please feel free to contact me with your ideas or to discuss how you're planning on supporting our Home and School Association.
I'm counting on you, and so are all the Greenfield kids.
Lisa Criniti-Ciervo
Home and School President

Juror misconduct could mean possible new trial for ex-firefighter Thomas Garrett
Garrett previously convicted of child molestation
CHULA VISTA, Calif. - A retired firefighter convicted of child molestation may soon get a new trial.
On Thursday, more than two dozen supporters of Thomas Garrett broke into applause outside of a Chula Vista courtroom after learning he will likely get a new trial.
Garrett had been convicted on four of six counts of molesting a neighbor's child.
10News learned a juror contacted prosecutor Harrison Kennedy and complained that another juror could not understand English. Additionally, it was later learned that two jurors -- a male and female -- said they had been molested as children, something neither one brought up during jury selection.
"I'm never going to know whether that was a deliberate ambush or negligent oversight, I really don't know but the law says it doesn't matter," said James Pokorney, Garrett's attorney.
Garrett, a former San Diego firefighter for more than 30 years and the commodore of the Coronado Yacht club for a short term, faced 11 years or more on the conviction.
"Now we'll start from scratch and this time we hope we get a fair jury that reveals the truth during the selection process; that's all we want," Pokorney said.
Supporters told 10News at previous court appearances that they found it virtually impossible that the person they've known for all these years could have done such a thing.
The decision for a re-trial is up to the district attorney.
Garrett remains free on $350,000 bond.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT/CNN) – Some people are calling Sunday's Super Bowl "The Blackout Bowl" after a power outage made the game come to a screeching halt for a half hour in the third quarter.
The dome wasn't completely in darkness, but it was enough to stop the game. NBC took full advantage of the situation to promote the TV series Revolution on social media.
Within minutes of the outage, the official Twitter account for the show tweeted, "Just a taste of what's to come on March 25."
Another tweet followed just moments later with a picture of a necklace that is central to the show's plot saying, "If only the stadium had one of these."
Announcements were made to more than 75,000 in the dome to remain seated and that power would be restored shortly, but the delay stretched 34 minutes before football could resume.
A spokesman for Entergy, the utility that powers the Superdome and much of the area, said the problem was confined to the stadium itself.
He said power elsewhere in New Orleans was not disrupted.
According to NBC, Revolution takes
15 years in the future and shows the aftermath of a global blackout
where the entire world lost power.
The show filmed scenes in Burgaw last week and is slated to continuing filming in Wilmington. Revolution will return March 25 and
airs Mondays at 10/9c.

There has been no shortage of coverage this week about the so-called budget compromise between the Democrats and Republicans. There was no shortage of vitriol preceding the passage…and no shortage of sanctimonious self-congratulatory back patting afterward. We were told that 38-Billion in cuts had been agreed upon. The Republicans initially wanted 100-Billion but were afraid of seeing the government shut down and settled for the lesser amount. Now some pundits are saying the real net cuts don't even amount to 1-Billion dollars. Amongst all the pontificating and bloviating who really knows? I don't. I do know that our national debt is in the Trillions and, even though I am a proud graduate of USM, I can't count that high. I do know one thing…every time we should a Hell Fire Missile at some of Kaddafi's troops it cost a million and a half dollars. So far our supporting role in that civil conflict had cost a small fortune and we are still maintaining troops in Iraq and waging war in Afghanistan.
In simple terms…this country is broke. We owe more money than we can count…and there aren't enough rich people in this country to soak hard enough to get us out…so don't think tax increases aren't coming everybody's way. Even Super Powers have their limits and we can't afford to keep spending trillions to re-make the world over in our image. Nor do we want to remake ourselves over in the image of European socialism. Our politicians have spent like drunken sailors on leave and stuck us with the tab. I don't know what to do about it…but it hacks me off. I'm Jim Cameron and that's all I have time for today…let us hear from you.

Researchers have discovered several genes that play a role in multiple sclerosis. The new study out of Yale University looked at nearly ten thousand MS patients, and compared them to seventeen thousand healthy control subjects. Researchers identified twenty-nine new gene variants that appear to play a role in the disease, and confirmed nearly two dozen discovered in past studies. Several of the genes are known to cause other auto-immune diseases, like type one diabetes. Researchers say this study will guide future research and treatments for patients with MS. Researchers say the environment also plays a role in a patient's risk for MS. For example, vitamin D deficiency has been linked to multiple sclerosis.

Women's soccer kicks off A-Sun play at home this weekend
With four weekends of non-conference action in the books for the JU women's soccer team it's time for the games to start counting this weekend as the Dolphins begin conference play against Florida Gulf Coast and Stetson.
The Dolphins (4-3-1), picked in a tie for fourth with Mercer in the A-Sun preseason poll, wrapped up the non-conference portion of their schedule with a 3-0 win over Francis Marion on Sunday afternoon as JU produced three separate goal scorers in the game. Two nights before, the Dolphins drew with BIG EAST opponent USF, 1-1, in a thriller at the Ashley Sports Complex.
"We're excited to have finally gotten to the conference part of our schedule," said JU head coach Brian Copham. "We've played well out of conference and have definitely found some positives to take into this weekend."
Last weekend, the Eagles (3-4) opened the Black Knights Classic at West Point with a 2-0 victory over Vermont before falling to Marist, 1-0, on Sunday.
Jenci Villaverde currently leads the Eagles with seven points on two goals and three assists in the first seven games of her collegiate career while Jessica Swartzentruber and Katie Donnellan each have four points. Goalie Stephanie Powers has logged more than 600 minutes between the pipes and has a 1.03 goals against average.
The Hatters (3-5) are coming off a split weekend, beating Southeast Missouri State, 3-2, but falling to Arkansas-Little Rock, 4-2. Tessa Gavilsky tops the Stetson points list with 10 (3 goals, 4 assists) while Courtney Janista sits behind her with eight points (4,0). Goalie Andrea Garavaglia has played every minute for the Hatters and has a 3.67 GAA.
The Dolphins will start the weekend off against the Eagles at 7 p.m. on Friday night and will close out against the Hatters on Sunday at 2 p.m. Both matches will be available through live video streaming at JUDolphins.com

Uptown Greenville could soon
be getting an upgrade.
Raleigh-based, private
developer, Community-Smith, unveiled plans this week to turn six downtown Greenville
properties into office and retail space.
Four of the properties
are on 5th Street, one is on Cotanche Street and another is on Dickinson Avenue.
The redevelopment will
likely include up to 4 million dollars in private investment and is expected to
qualify for local, state and federal funds.
Greenville Mayor Allen Thomas
says the idea behind the project is to make the city a more attractive place
for people to live, visit, work and play.
"Not only does it
change the use from a very raw use, to something with great utility, it's going
to mark a change for an area where more people from different walks of life,
from young professionals, business people, and families are going to find this
is going to be a wonderful to come down and this is that change moment we've
been waiting for," said Allen Thomas, Greenville Mayor.
This proposal comes a
little more than a month after another private firm revealed their plans for a
multi-million dollar student apartment complex and new parking deck.

Country notebook, by Liam Mulvin
Posted: February 19, 2014|
Being privileged to work in the same piece of countryside on a daily basis I get to see the changes made. Some are done quickly and often quite violently, while others are only noticed over time.
Whether it is nature or man, this applies to both. Trees felled by either chainsaw or high winds can leave a sudden gap in the landscape. A hollow in the ground can become a pond overnight.
Then there are the more permanent things. The derelict barn or outhouses that slowly get converted into homes or workplaces. The unused field that finds a new use, as a storage barn built for feed; or a shelter is built for cows or sheep.
Nature too, will suddenly find itself providing burrows and living space for rabbits, or badgers, or foxes. The trees fill with nesting birds that arrive as suddenly as they leave.
I enjoy continuity the best. The trees that look so dead in winter before suddenly greening over and looking so alive for the summer. Autumn colours come all too soon and then the trees sleep once more.
The farmers' fields are the biggest indicator for me. A lone tractor ploughing the field brown. The slow days until the field too, greens over.
Steadily the crop grows stronger and greener before once more the colour changes, and it is golden. Great activity ensues before once more the field lies empty. Then a lone tractor turns it brown once more.
The same place, always changing.

R.I. Teacher Pleads Not Guilty For Soliciting
A Davenport man who works with Rock Island students pleads not guilty to charges of soliciting a child.
Brian R. Evans works as a para-professional at Thomas Jefferson Elementary school in Milan.
Police arrested Evans earlier this week after text messages he sent to a ten-year-old girls i-Pod were discovered.
Court documents show those messages included Evans asking the girl to sit on his lap and allow him to spank her.
He's worked there since September and is currently on administrative leave. Parents describe the letter they received from the school as sickening.
"I was pretty upset," parent Lee Conner said. "I would have liked to find out about it another way, personally I think they should have had some kind of phone call for the parents or meeting with the parents."
Evans has plead not guilty to all charges. He is out on bond tonight.

Dana Holgorsen is luring another NFL assistant to Morgantown.
A member of the WVU football staff has confirmed the Mountaineers will hire Mike Smith to coach linebackers at WVU. Smith was recently promoted to outside linebackers coach for the New York Jets after beginning the season as an intern for the staff.
Smith played linebacker at Texas Tech while Holgorsen was an assistant for the Red Raiders and was offered a position on Mike Leach's staff in December, but declined to remain with the Jets.
Smith hails from Lubbock, Texas and was a seventh round pick for the Baltimore Ravens out of college in the 2005 NFL Draft. His playing career ended with a shoulder injury in the 2006 season in his first start at linebacker.
Former WVU linebackers coach and defensive coordinator Jeff Casteel left the Mountaineers this month for an opportunity in the same capacity at the University of Arizona.
No official release has come from the University regarding Smith's hire.
