Nicktoons to Premiere New Animated Series MONSUNO, 2/23
Nicktoons launches MONSUNO(TM), a half-hour action-adventure series debuting with two back-to-back episodes on Thursday, Feb. 23, at 8:00 p.m. (ET). In the 52-episode series, the fate of the world lies in the hands of a group of heroic kids who wrestle with the power to command and battle creatures called Monsuno. Following the premiere, Monsuno will air in its regular timeslot on Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. (ET) on Nicktoons. Monsuno will also air on Nickelodeon channels around the world, starting Summer 2012.
"We're excited to be the home of Monsuno in the U.S. and around the world," said Keith Dawkins, SVP/General Manager, Nicktoons and TeenNick. "With powerful, action-driven animation, dynamic characters and a deeply woven original story mythology, this series has strong boy appeal."
Millions of years ago, Monsuno, a living DNA, hitched a ride to Earth in a concentrated asteroid pocket. When it landed on Earth, the impact drove the dinosaurs into extinction. The Monsuno DNA lay dormant until a scientist named Jeredy Suno activated it, sending a rippling wave of movement back into action. By doing so, Jeredy may have reignited the end of the world but he also created its salvation, the Monsuno monsters. Now, it's up to his son Chase to learn the secrets of Monsuno and help save the world from impending destruction.
In the series debut episode, "Clash" (premiering Feb. 23 at 8:00 p.m.), Chase and his two best friends learn that Jeredy is missing. Jon Ace and S.T.O.R.M. (Strategic Tactical Operatives for Recovery of Monsuno) join Chase at the lab, but it is soon revealed that they are after the fully-loaded Core that Jeredy left behind for his son. Then, in "Courage" (premiering Feb. 23 at 8:30 p.m.), Chase discovers that his father had created a Monsuno called Quickforce, who is being held captive and experimented on by S.T.O.R.M. Chase leads a brave infiltration of the S.T.O.R.M. facility in order to save Quickforce.
In 2011, Nicktoons had its highest-rated and most-watched year in history with boys 6-11 (+2% in delivery) and kids 6-11 (+3%), posting gains of +5% with boys 9-14 and +8% with tweens.
The Monsuno series is being co-produced by Pacific Animation Partners LLC, a joint venture between JAKKS Pacific, Inc. & Dentsu Entertainment USA, Inc., with FremantleMedia Enterprises and The Topps Company, Inc. FME will be responsible for the exclusive worldwide distribution of Monsuno TV programming, except in Asia, and will act as the Master Licensing agent for the Monsuno brand outside of Asia. JAKKS Pacific is the creator of the underlying Monsuno property and master toymaker for the Monsuno toy line. The Topps Company has signed on to produce Monsuno trading card games, confectioneries and related products.

Open source and Dell join Sun server party
Like Al Gore claiming to have created the internet, Sun Microsystems claims it was a virtualization pioneer. While announcing open-source-based virtualization and a Solaris server partnership with Dell on Wednesday, Sun chief executive Jonathan Schwartz told Oracle's OpenWorld that Sun was "one of the first" in the industry to …
First virtual
...is generally accepted to be the Ferranti Titan.
The ICL 1900, which was launched in 1964 alongside the IBM System/360, had virtual addressing from launch. From the start 1900s used virtual addressing for memory and peripherals, though all programs were started manually by an operator. By 1970 my site was running a full-time workload of interactive and batch jobs under George 3.
Meanwhile, the System/360 was supposed to support virtualisation but this never worked. As a result it was stuck with DOS* and MFT or MVT/HASP until 1970 and the release of System/370 with VM/370 before it had a usable virtual memory system.
* NO, this was NOT PC-DOS (later rebadged as MS-DOS). That didn't appear until 1981.
Millionth mis-quote of Al Gore
Al Gore never claimed that he "invented the Internet."
Thanks (but no thanks) for keeping this misunderstanding alive.

Somerville's Planting 575 New Trees This Month
It's part of a big push to bring 2,000 new trees to the city's sidewalks by 2015.
Residents wonŌĆÖt have to travel to a nearby park in order to enjoy the foliage in Somerville.
As part of a push to beautify the cityŌĆÖs sidewalks, and create an urban landscape thatŌĆÖs easy on the eyes, city officials announced they are in the midst of planting 575 new trees all around Somerville during the month of July.
ŌĆ£ItŌĆÖs a big project, itŌĆÖs definitely going to be a big impact on the city,ŌĆØ said Rachel Kelly, Somerville's Green Infrastructure Planner. "ItŌĆÖs been going quickly, they are moving pretty fast. ItŌĆÖs been great. One of the big reasons we wanted to do this was because of how important trees are to our health and our welfare. Somerville is surrounded by highways to a degree, and a big part of this is we need these because itŌĆÖs a quality-of-life benefit."
The ŌĆ£plant blitzing,ŌĆØ which started in 2011 after the cityŌĆÖs Urban Forest Initiative conducted an extensive┬Ātree inventory, will bring the total number of trees recently planted on SomervilleŌĆÖs streets up to 1,000. The goal of the entire project is to double the work that has already been completed, adding 2,000 new trees to various neighborhoods citywide by 2015, officials said. ┬ĀThe installations are being funded by┬Ā$75,000 in annual federal grants, with additional support from┬Āthe city's budget.
Workers have been preparing for the plantings, working from the West side of the city toward the East, by digging into the sidewalkŌĆÖs concrete, and marking the spots with two pieces of wood tied together by yellow caution tape.
Denise Taylor, director of communications and community engagement, said the unsightly markings have caused a lot of confusion for residents, and the city has been fielding inquiries about the sites where the crumbling walkways have been jackhammered to make room for the new trees. ŌĆ£We have had a lot of people asking about this,ŌĆØ she said of the areas where the sidewalk has been disturbed. ŌĆ£They have caused lots of confusion and curiosity and excitement.ŌĆØ
With most of the ŌĆ£pitsŌĆØ dug up, workers will return to the sites with a backhoe and tree, lifting up the entire slab┬Ābefore┬ĀCentral Nurseries, the company leading the installations,┬Āputs the trees into the ground.
Kelly said the┬Ātrees are under a care and warranty plan for the next three years, so during that time Central Nurseries will be keeping an inventory of the project's progress, and tending to the watering in┬Āthe summers. If the tree dies or takes on a disease, they will have to replace it. ŌĆ£They are maintained, and once they are in we know that they are going to be watered,ŌĆØ said Kelly. ŌĆ£It gives them time to get established. They can really take root and thrive.ŌĆØ
A┬Ātotal of twelve species of trees will be planted over the course of the month, including red maple, silver linden, and sweetgum. Taylor┬Āsaid the trees wonŌĆÖt only make the city more vibrant, but they will also bring shade and energy savings to houses nearby.
Trees in urban settings have also been credited with helping slow down drivers weaving through city streets. ŌĆ£There are all kinds of beneficial aspects beside the fact that they are pretty,ŌĆØ she said. ŌĆ£They calm traffic. Streets with trees that drivers are on tend to make them drive more slowly. ItŌĆÖs an interesting phenomenon. It helps, especially on side streets.ŌĆØ

Suicide bomber hits Iraq army checkpoint, 3 killed
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - A suicide bomber detonated a car packed with explosives at an Iraqi army checkpoint north of Baghdad on Tuesday, killing at least three people, police said, in an apparent attempt to destabilise the Shi'ite-led government.
The blast in Taji, 20 km (12 miles) north of the capital, followed another suicide attack in the same town a day earlier that killed at least 22 people.
It was the eighth suicide bombing in a month in Iraq, where insurgents are seeking to inflame tensions between Shi'ite, Sunni and ethnic Kurdish factions a year after U.S. troops pulled out of the country.
"There were patches of blood, pieces of clothing and shoes scattered around the place," said policeman Furat Fleh, whose patrol was near the checkpoint at the time of the blast. "We heard shooting and shouting after the explosion".
Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, a Shi'ite, has been struggling to quell mass protests by Sunni Muslims against what they see as the marginalisation of their sect since the fall of Saddam Hussein and the empowerment of Iraq's Shi'ite majority through the ballot box.
Ten years on from the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, sectarian and ethnic divisions run deep.
Violence has fallen from the height of inter-communal slaughter that killed tens of thousands in 2006-2007, but insurgents have still been carrying out at least one high-casualty attack a month since the U.S. withdrawal in December 2011.
Unrest in Iraq's Sunni heartland is compounding fears the war in neighbouring Syria - where Sunni rebels are fighting to topple a leader backed by Shi'ite Iran - could further upset Iraq's own delicate sectarian and ethnic balance.
Thousands of Sunni protesters have taken to the streets since late December, rallying mainly in the Sunni-dominated Anbar province where they have blocked a highway to Jordan and Syria.
Many demonstrators want the government to amend anti-terrorism laws that Sunnis believe authorities misuse to target them, but hardliners and Sunni Islamists have called for Maliki to step down and even for an autonomous Sunni fiefdom inside Iraq.
Al Qaeda's Iraq affiliate, which views Shi'ites as apostates, last month called on Sunni protesters to take up arms against the government.
No group claimed responsibility for Tuesday's blast, but suicide bomb attacks are the hallmark of Iraq's local al Qaeda wing, Islamic State of Iraq, which has sent Sunni Islamist fighters and arms into Syria.
Iraq is home to a number of other Sunni insurgent groups. (Writing by Isabel Coles)

Kids are more successful in school when parents take an active interest in their homework — it shows kids that what they do is important.
Of course, helping with homework shouldn't mean spending hours hunched over a desk. Parents can be supportive by demonstrating study and organization skills, explaining a tricky problem, or just encouraging kids to take a break. And who knows? Parents might even learn a thing or two!

- Late Night Antics March 7
Russian President Vladimir Putin is a "semi-delusional autocrat" who governs over a propaganda-dishing, state-censored media, said Jon Stewart on Thursday night's Daily Show. Almost everyone can see that Putin is living in an alternate reality — even Germany's Angela Merkel — so why are the hosts at Fox News and their Republican guests being "fooled by this guy's bullshit?" Stewart asked.
Republicans have been holding up the "strong" Putin as a favorable alternative to the "weak," "mom jeans"-wearing Obama. (Seriously, the "mom jeans" line is a thing.) In one of Stewart's clips, Rudy Giuliani gushes that while Obama dithers, Putin the leader acts quickly and makes the world react to him. That's not the definition of a leader, Stewart said, incredulously, "that's what you call a toddler." Also, when the Fox News crowd isn't calling Obama weak, they're calling him a "dictator king," Stewart said. And then he hit on a possible explanation for this cognitive dissonance... --Peter Weber

Are Black women portrayed as angry birds on TV?
Divas star Dawn Robinson (formerly of En Vogue) recently revealed the meeting her and fellow cast-mates had where the were told they were "boring" and needed to amp up the drama to ensure the show's success.
Via 4umf reports:
"Because we were such a part of the show, the producers speak to us midway and said, 'You guys have a boring show.' And I said at the meeting, 'Is that because we're not fighting against each other? We're not pulling each other's hair out? We're not negative against each other? Is that because we support each other, and we're loving towards each other as women? You want to see the negativity because in your mind, drama is what gets the ratings.'
"But at the same time right now, what we're seeing is that the show so far – and this is midway through filming. So this is half way through filming – what we're seeing now is that the show, so far the four episodes that they've shown have been very positive and very loving, and people are reacting to the positivity on the show. And so, they have the highest rating in TV One history, our show is the highest rated show in TV One history, and that's positivity. This show is not negative so far, and yet you guys have the highest rated show in TV One history without any drama? That says a lot – that means it was never necessary in the first place. Real life has enough drama in it without having to add to it and create some stuff 'cause you guys want ratings. It's just ridiculous, so it's pretty sad, but we don't control that."
Poor Dawn! But, she should know what type of personality it takes to do well on reality tv. If you're not ratchet or ready to sell your soul then it ain't for you.

Co-signer's death can haunt borrower of private student loan
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says lenders have clauses in their contract that explain if a co-signer of a private student loan dies, the loan must be immediately paid in full; but many borrowers are not aware of the practice.
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Some student-loan borrowers who had a parent or grandparent co-sign the note are finding they must immediately pay the loan in full if the relative dies.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau says lenders' contracts have clauses explaining this could happen, but many borrowers are not aware of them.
The agency's ombudsman, Rohit Chopra, said complaints are growing because the practice is catching so many people by surprise. Some borrowers told to pay back the loan in full have been making timely payments, Chopra said.
While it's unclear how prevalent it is, Chopra said it appears to be the practice among many private student-loan lenders. It has affected borrowers not just when the co-signer has died, but when the co-signer has declared bankruptcy.
"We do have some concerns that with an aging population and with very long terms on certain private student loans, that this could actually increase over time," Chopra said.
The issue doesn't affect federal student loans, which are more commonly issued than private student loans.
In the private-loan industry, 90 percent of loans were co-signed in 2011; having a co-signer can often lead to a lower interest rate, a report released Tuesday by the bureau said.
Before the 2009 financial meltdown, private loans were more commonly issued, but many borrowers still owe money on them. They generally have higher interest rates.
Richard Hunt, CEO of the Consumer Bankers Association, said in a statement that its members work with their customers "carefully and compassionately" and it is common practice for the lenders to release co-signers from loan obligations.
"We are not aware of lenders accelerating the payment of a loan in good standing upon the death or permanent disability of a co-signer as a typical practice and believe it to be a rare occurrence," Hunt said.
Chopra, however, said even as many financial companies advertise the ability to release a co-signer from a loan, they make it complicated to do so.
The report said the practice might occur because some lenders rely on third parties that automatically trigger a default "regardless of individual circumstances."

PocketFuel keeps me charged up and focused when I'm out playing on the water!
Jeff KafkaBig Wave surfer/Kiteboarder, Professional Water Man
Can't. Stop. Eating. It.
Spooled. Spent. Rocked. Thirty five minute paddle out at Del Mar Rivermouth… one wave… broken leash… Charge up the coast for a spot with a channel… but I have no energy… I left it all at the Rivermouth… Powered a PocketFuel on the way up the coast and spent three more hours in the water… then powered another on the way home… Thanks PocketFuel folks! I ripped 'em open and got ALL the goop!
PF powered me all weekend @ Kern River Fest. 1st in 6 mile run/sup biathlon, 1st in SUP Slalom, 2nd in Sup Cross all within 4hrs. Stoked on the PF Chia Goji Honey now my new favorite.
Dan GavereSUP Professional Athlete
PocketFuel has literally been a lifeline for me. Just prior to moving to Hood River I saw some information on a new product being released. Natural, easy packaging, REAL food that I could train and compete in triathlon with, climb with, ski, or just snack on throughout my day as a physical therapist. I was super excited to try it. Its first test for me was a big one. While trekking into base-camp on Aconcagua in December our gear mules were delayed by over 6 hours. We were stuck in a freez…
Dana ReidClimber, Triathlete and Physical Therapist
I have been really really hungry the past couple of days and PocketFuel has really helped make a difference. I wish I had brought more. On the hot days I don't want a Snicker's Bar or anything super sweet. PocketFuel works great for this type of hiking. Squeeze in mouth and go. Any energy type bars that have type of chocolate or gooey stuff in turns to mush in the hot sun. With PocketFuel, all that messiness goes away.
Betsy FrazierBackpacker posting from the PCT
As a professional athlete, I've tried every energy food there is. They are one of two things- sugar packaged in some kind of "healthy" advertising, or "healthy" that tastes like dirt. PocketFuel is something COMPLETELY different. A few whole ingredients in awesome combinations that gives me a huge, sustained boost. When I fly, PocketFuel is as important as oxygen or my vario, especially as the miles and hours add up. But it's also become part of my every day sustenance. In other words, it'…
Gavin McClurgCloudbase Collective
It is some great stuff! It is a little more spendy … but better tasting, and refillable packets! Also, while a 1.2oz ClifShot has 100calories, a 3oz PocketFuel contains around 425 calories — but the calories are more nutritionally whole, and has protein & fat – so it is not just a sugar/electrolyte gel…it is FOOD with extra electrolytes added! … Mark Ribkoff (owner/proprietor) was very responsive & helpful over email, the order shipped very quickly, and I am a happy camper!
Great road-trip food!
Pocket fuel is also great for driving home after late meetings! THANKS!

Tesla's Elon Musk continues dealership fight
Send this to a friend
- Staff San Francisco Business Times
North Carolina has become the latest battleground in Tesla Motors CEO Elon Musk's fight to sell the company's electric vehicles directly to consumers, bypassing automotive dealers, the Wall Street Journal reports.
The North Carolina Senate last month approved a measure that would block Tesla from selling online, which is its only sales outlet in the state.
Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA) has hired an influential lobbyist and staged test drives for legislators to avoid a similar outcome in the state's House.
Tesla has met resistance from dealers in other states including Texas and Virginia.

Chris Wallace On Michelle O: Speech Was "All About Government"
First off, even the AP can't help but note some of the issues
"He reminds me that we are playing a long game here … and that change is hard, and change is slow and it never happens all at once," she told a nation impatient with slow economic progress and persistently high unemployment of 8.3 percent. "But eventually, we get there, we always do," she said in a speech that blended scenes from 23 years of marriages with the Obamas' time in the White House.
And, just in time for the DNC, the US debt hit $16,000,000,000,000. As for Chris Wallace
(The Blaze) While Fox News political analyst Chris Wallace called first lady Michelle Obama's address to the Democratic National Convention "masterful" and heartfelt, he said he was struck by the fact that nearly all of her speech was about about the importance of government in the lives of Americans.
"I've got to say, listening closely to the speech one of the things that struck me was it was all about government," Wallace said Tuesday night during Fox News' coverage of the DNC. "When she talked at the beginning about the people who exemplify the best of the American spirit, she talked about teachers and first responders and the military, all very admirable professions, but all government."
He continued: "When she talked about ways to build the middle class, it was all about the auto bailout and student loans and health care reform, once again, all government programs…That was a subtle subtext to the entire speech."
No, I did not watch the speech. There's only so much pandering, lying, and patronizing I can take during an abortionfest. I did read the transcript this morning (hence the somewhat late posting times), and it is interesting to note that very little was said during her speech about the private sector. Perhaps that's why Team Obama attempted to distance itself from the "government is the only thing we belong to" video yesterday.
Also missing from most of the other speeches was any notion that the private sector is where it gets done (except to mention 4.5 million new jobs, which even CNN is not buying), and where the money comes from to allow government to operate. Because someone went out and put it all on the line to build their business.

Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding, Duclos Corporation, has taken a new boat order from the Bermuda Department of Marine and Ports Services to replace the pilot/rescue boat, Saint David, built by the shipyard in 1986. Delivery is scheduled for 2011.
Designed by C. Raymond Hunt Associates and classed to Lloyds Register, the high-speed, all-aluminum pilot/rescue boat measures 61 ft over-all, with an 18-ft beam and a 6-ft draft. Designed and built to serve as a pilot boat, the vessel will be equipped for offshore search and rescue missions as well, with a rescue well recessed into the transom, a tow bitt and 12-ft inflatable tender, and accommodations for a stokes litter basket stretcher.
The boat's main propulsion comes from twin 12 cylinder MTU-12V2000M70 diesel engines, each producing a conservative 1055 Bhp at 2100 rpm, giving the new boat a top speed of 30 knots. The engines connect to NiBrAl propellers through ZF2050A gear boxes. A pair of Northern Lights 20 kW gensets will provide service power.
The boat features wide side decks, inverted front windows, and large boarding areas on the main deck. The wheelhouse, mounted aft of amidships on a flush deck, provides the pilots with additional comfort and safety at high speeds offshore and increased visibility of the boarding areas. At the shear will be a heavy-duty 10" D rubber fender, in addition to five rubber side strakes at the boarding areas.
Interior accommodations will feature HVAC, six Llebroc recliners, cushioned settee, suitable in size to accommodate an injured person, dinette, and enclosed head. Sound level in the wheelhouse is expected to be about 70 decibels at 25 knots.

First-round pick catches game-winning TD in overtime. Terry McCormick
The Houston Texans invested a first-round pick in wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins last April.
On Sunday, it paid off in a big way as Hopkins helped rally the Texans to an overtime victory over the Tennessee Titans.
The Texans trailed 24-16 with just under five minutes left after Hopkins and quarterback Matt Schaub miscommunicated, and Titans cornerback Alterraun Verner returned the pass 23 yards for a TD.
But Hopkins came up big late, after the Texans tied the game and got a two-point conversion.
Hopkins caught a 25-yard pass in overtime to set up first-and-goal and the 1, and three plays later caught the game winning touchdown from Schaub. The heroics came after star receiver Andre Johnson was knocked out of the game with an apparent concussion.
In all, Hopkins had seven catches for 117 yards Sunday.

Medical Errors at 10 CA Hospitals Draw Fines of $625K
California's latest round of penalties for hospital blunders that resulted in patient harm or death includes a wrong-site surgery, feeding errors, a retained surgical object, and a number of unnecessary "emergency" coronary interventions.
Slideshow: Medical Errors at 10 CA Hospitals
Draw Fines of $625K
An unapproved fecal transplant research experiment in end-stage brain cancer patients in Davis, a 'time out' lapse resulting in an incision to the wrong testicle in San Diego, and a failure to connect a ventilator in Greenbrae are among the latest round of immediate jeopardy penalties for 10 California hospitals.
"In issuing these administrative penalties, our goal… is to improve the quality of healthcare in all California hospitals," Debby Rogers, deputy director for the state Department of Public Health's Center for Healthcare Quality, said at a news briefing to announce the fines last week.
"Information on incidents that led to the penalties will be used to determine how violations and deficiencies can decrease and be eliminated over time."
The department issues penalties to hospitals about four times a year. The fines are $50,000, $75,000, or $100,000 per incident, depending on whether the penalty is the hospital's first, second, or third within the last three years.
The errors, which resulted in death or other forms of harm to hospitalized patients, are as follows:
1. At the University of California Davis Medical Center, Davis, in Sacramento County, two neurosurgeons harmed three patients diagnosed with end stage glioblastoma multiforme, an aggressive brain tumor, when they experimentally implanted fecal bacteria into their brains without approvals.
According to state documents, the hospital staff and physicians failed to verify staff compliance with research safety and approval protocols, failed to follow acceptable standards of pre, intra, and post-operative surgical care, and failed to comprehensively investigate the infections that resulted from the implants, although the incidents "met the hospital's written criteria for adverse and sentinel events."
The implantation of gastrointestinal tract bacteria into the brain was intended to "create a wound infection that would attack tumor cells," the report said. But the material "had never been tested in humans" nor had the experiment received required approvals from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or an Institutional Review Board.
The neurosurgeons and hospital staff also didn't inform the hospital's investigational pharmacy of their plans and did not properly label the material before it was taken into the operating room.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Teen faces jury in shooting death of man behind store
TREVOR HARPER was gunned down in a random crossing of paths with a group of young men behind a Portage Avenue mobile-phone store, a Winnipeg jury was told Monday.
And now, the young man's accused killer -- a 15-year old boy at the time -- is on trial for second-degree murder after being fingered by police as the person among a group of males who ultimately fired the deadly shots. He is presumed innocent.
Now 17, the youth was arrested four days after Harper, 20, was fatally shot inside a Honda Prelude just after 6 p.m. on April 29, 2011. The vehicle was parked in the rear of a cellular-phone store at 557-559 Portage Ave., just across the street from the CBC Manitoba headquarters.
Crown prosecutor Christian Vanderhooft said Harper had been selling marijuana that day. He had been paid for one deal with an iPhone that day and went to the store to activate it. Harper was riding shotgun in the Honda, a friend behind the wheel and his girlfriend in the rear seat.
Once there, a group of six males who had been playing basketball at nearby Magnus Eliason Recreation Centre were walking south down Young Street towards a restaurant when they spotted Harper and his friends in the car. Two walked onwards to the restaurant while four others remained behind.
"That is where two worlds fatally collided," Vanderhooft told the eight-man, four-woman jury. "The wrong place at the wrong time."
The teen is accused of pulling out a .22-calibre handgun, tapping it on the window of the vehicle and ordering its occupants out. When the driver instead reversed and then moved forward to escape, the youth fired two shots, Vanderhooft alleged.
Both bullets hit Harper in the head, one penetrating his brain. "That shot killed him," said Vanderhooft.
The driver of the vehicle pulled onto Portage Avenue to call 911 and then rushed Harper to the Health Sciences Centre, where he was later pronounced dead.
Vanderhooft said jurors will see video surveillance from the area to "set the scene" for them, as well as hear from the vehicle's driver and Harper's girlfriend about the sudden confrontation.
The Crown also expects to call as witnesses members of the group who were with the accused gunman at the time of the shooting.
Vanderhooft cautioned some of them may be "reluctant" to testify. "Some may be associated to each other and their association may motivate how they view what happened," he said. No gang-related link was relayed to jurors by the Crown.
"From our perspective, this case is very simple," Vanderhooft said. The youth had the gun and it was he that approached the car, Vanderhooft alleged. "Instead of leaving well enough alone, he didn't. He pulled the trigger," the prosecutor said.
Police witnesses testified Monday no DNA or other forensic materials were located on two shell casings investigators retrieved in the case.
The trial is set to last into December.

Housing downturn sparks recession fears

Slump? Or just a bump in the road?
The housing downturn has sparked recession fears. Where is the economy really headed?
By Oakley Brooks
The rumors seemed plausible enough at first. This past summer, the housing market was stalling, and in some of the state's building hot spots — Bend, Medford, the Coast — the gossip was spreading about the industry's dive. The grapevine said some companies were laying off workers, and others hadn't pulled any permits for more than a month. Dennis Murphy, president of Hayden Homes in Bend, believed most of what he heard. In sub-divisions around town, he could see that crews were pouring foundations at a slower pace. Then the rumor mill said his company was laying off 60 people at his Portland-area office.
But Hayden doesn't have a Portland office, and since the company only has 65 people total, that layoff would have amounted to a virtual shutdown. "That's when I thought, 'There's something wrong here,'" says Murphy. Maybe the industry wasn't in an all-out tailspin after all.
But what many local economists and industry leaders will say is that much of the despair about the housing market and the economy is overwrought. And while there are some important economic weaknesses in Oregon and across the country, the experts are cautiously, if surprisingly, optimistic.
Housing and timber are cooling, but it's not a disaster.
These two sectors, which are closely related, have hit the brakes after a roaring 2005. Nationally, home prices sank for the first time in 11 years. Residential building permits dropped 21% in August compared to the same month in 2005. In Oregon, the number of existing homes sold fell 12% in the second quarter compared to the same time period in 2005, and building permits took a dive in August, with 2,194 issued versus 2,959 issued the previous August. In places such as Bend, investment dollars that drove up prices and accelerated sales cycles left town. "The investors and speculation that created the 2005 bubble are gone," says Trish Phillips, principal broker at Bend Style real estate in Bend.
A sustained slowdown into next year in housing and timber would sting, but not cut deeply.
Like Barbee, those across the real estate, construction and timber industries are predicting a dip in growth and production in 2007. Jeremy Starr, president of the Oregon Association of Realtors, says he expects home price appreciation growth to be in the 4%-6% range across the state, with sales of homes off their 2005 high but still "strong." The Western Wood Products Association predicts a 7% decline in production next year in Western states, after a projected 3% decline this year.
The bottom line: It's not déjà 2002.
"You could call it a growth recession," says Dae Baek, the acting state economist, predicting what 2007 will look like. "We're going to be growing but not as fast as before." Baek notes that manufacturing in the state in areas such as transportation equipment and semiconductors is still going strong and looks like it will continue into the first half of next year.
If a national recession were to hit now, the scenario would probably be different. Nationally, says Conerly, the big risk is that consumers will be scared by uncertainty surrounding their biggest investments — their homes. If the equity on people's homes stops rising, they'll have less to borrow new money against and be less inclined to go out and buy snowmobiles and new cars this winter. But because of our business investment-dependent economy, Oregon leans less on that consumer spending than do other parts of the country. "The biggest driver here is business investment," Conerly says. "If a recession hits, it probably won't be as bad for us as a place like Michigan, which is heavily dependent on consumer spending."
Oregon has another positive engine of growth: the immigrants who continue to pour into the state. As PGE's Nguyen points out, Oregon's population has grown at roughly double the rate of the rest of the country. All those new people keep the service and retail sector humming with their demand for lattes, new shoes and health care. "People will continue to move in and that's creating jobs," says Nguyen.
Still, the clouds over the national economy aren't good for anyone.
Even if a lot of the signs in Oregon still look good, the overall slowness of growth both here and across the nation has increased the chances that some shock to the economy could push it quickly into negative growth. Conerly puts the chances of a consumer-led recession at one in four.

Dexcel on growth drivers for Indian embedded design industry
It is my endeavor to write about semiconductors, solar/PV, EDA. FPGAs, embedded, etc., and related companies and solutions via this blog. One of the pleasures of writing a semicon blog is in being able to connect with and make a whole lot of friends from different countries, cultures, and companies, as well as bloggers.
One such gentleman is Ravinder Gujral or Ravi, as he's popularly called, Director – Business Development, Dexcel Electronics Designs Pvt. Ltd. Dexcel, based very much in Bangalore, India, is among one of the emerging companies in the embedded space in the country. Ravi contacted me, like several others, via my blog! Likewise, I was elated to find myself a new friend and reader! Later, we met during Altera's SOPC event, where Dexcel was exhibiting as well.
Dexcel is an electronics design house with capabilities in embedded systems development, firmware Designs and development, DSP processors based designs, imaging software, device drivers, Linux porting, system level designs and development, application and automation software, development of audio and video codec, telecom related stacks, board designs and FPGA based digital designs services, and providing end-to-end solutions to customers.
Dexcel has an alliance and partnership with Altera (ACAP and DSP partner), and with Analog Devices (DSP collaborator), Texas Instruments (DSP third party Network Member), Actel (solution partner), Atmel (AVR 8-Bit RISC Consultants), Montavista Linux developer, etc. Quite impressive!
Estimate of Indian embedded industry
Naturally, our discussion veered toward embedded. Providing his estimate of the embedded design industry in India, Gujral said as per the survey conducted by the India Semiconductor Association (ISA) and Frost & Sullivan, the projected Indian semiconductor and embedded design industry will grow from $3.25 billion in 2005 to $14.42 billion in 2010 and to $43.07 billion in 2015. The Indian design organizations are moving beyond simple labor-cost arbitrage to become true contributors to product innovation.
Going forward, it is important to keep an eye on the drivers for embedded design. The main growth drivers for embedded software in the coming period will be mobile communications, military applications, networking devices and providing more intelligence and connectivity to consumer devices.
Gujral said: "The explosion of embedded devices is made possible mainly due to the rapid growth of semiconductor chips each year, and semiconductor devices becoming faster, cheaper and less power hungry. As the Indian domestic market is growing rapidly, this growth trend will continue. Simultaneously, there are technical challenges to design such products and services, and the availability of technical qualified resources has become more important."
Localizing product designs and manufacturing
Given that India's strength has been in embedded, would the biggest growth factor for embedded come from the localization of product design and manufacturing from India?
Indeed, it is! Gujral noted: "The growth factor for embedded companies will come from localization of product design and manufacturing from India. However, we should be doing well in localization of product design, rather than in manufacturing. Indian design engineers are strong in product innovation and design processes, while on the other hand, our manufacturing ecosystem is not as competitive as China."
Going forward, India should be focused on fine tuning its design processes and best practices to become more efficient and productive, compared to counterpart in the US and Europe. "We have to develop strong domain technical knowledge to bring more innovation in product development," added Gujral.

Von Hahn: Old-school is new again in Kensington Market
Where else in the world could you walk by a place called The Hungary Thai that claims to have "the best schnitzel and pad Thai in the city"?
|Report an Error
Share via Email
When it comes to markets, Torontonians can be divided into two camps. Either you swear by the peameal bacon sandwiches and old food-hall feel of St. Lawrence Market, or you live for the vibrant street scene of Kensington.
True, St. Lawrence has the excellent Alex Farm cheeses and a great juice bar in the basement. On a winter afternoon, it's a lot less hassle to shop inside under the great roof of St. Lawrence's historic hall than negotiate Kensington's chaos.
But for me, there is only one real market, and that's Kensington. Without fail, I find its constantly evolving cosmopolitan mix life-affirming. I love that you can snack on an empanada to the sounds of reggae music while you browse through racks of vintage Cowichan sweaters. Where else in the world could you walk by a place called The Hungary Thai that claims to have "the best schnitzel and pad Thai in the city"?
For years, my Saturday afternoon ritual has involved getting a coffee at Louie's, otherwise known as Casa Acoreana, which has been serving up a fine Americano since well before there were hip indie cafes on every street corner; stopping in at the nut lady's on Baldwin to replenish my hoard of dried fruits and nuts (she has the best); arguing over the ripeness of a French Camembert with the guys behind the enormous blocks of cheese at Global; and a dim sum lunch on Spadina.
This usually meant that if I wanted some really nice meat or bufala ricotta for dinner, or needed a cool hostess gift, I would have to stop in somewhere else on my way home. But over the last year or so, with the arrival of a number of forward-thinking retailers, coolness has come to Kensington — so much so that the market, which has always marched to its own drummer before that became fashionable, suddenly seems poised to become the next "new" thing.
Mika Bareket, owner of a truly wonderful cookbook and housewares store called Good Egg — and the new chair of the Kensington Business Improvement Association — is one of the key players behind this transformation. A former buyer for Type Books, she has a keen eye for style as well as a quirky sense of humour. "Cookbooks are like adult picture books, with instructions," quips Bareket when I ask her about the appeal of her bright and cheery shop, a haven for young foodies. "We opened about two-and-a-half years ago, with zero advertising, and on the first day we were swamped."
Down the block at 4 Life Natural Foods, one can now find the kind of high-end, organically grown and locally sourced arugula, Jerusalem artichokes and fresh herbs that shoppers in their BMW wagons shell out big bucks for at Harvest Wagon in Rosedale. Around the corner on Baldwin, charmingly housed in an glass-fronted and wooden-floored butcher's stall once occupied by the long-gone Max and Sons, is Peter Sanagan's year-and-a-half-old Meat Locker.
A former chef (at Mistura), who carefully sources his meat and eggs from small, local and artisanal producers, Sanagan is the kind of new, old-school butcher aspiring carnivores flock to for both specialty cuts and edification. "I'm not a big fan of organs, but beef heart is truly a delicacy," says Sanagan, pointing at a dark sliver of meat straight out of a horror movie. "Because it's a muscle, it has the texture of a really fine steak."
Most popular are his thick-cut bacon, as well as the shop's own hand-ground meats and gourmet sausages (think wild boar with red wine and pistachio). On a wood block beside the counter, a small girl is expertly wrestling a side of beef with a large knife. "I only hire people here with restaurant experience," says Sanagan, who, in Kensington, has clearly found a sweet spot for eager foodies.
Kensington is now home to several gourmet burger stands, and guess what? Gourmet burgers are the latest culinary craze. Same goes for tacos and tapas.
And yet, increasingly, Kensington is not just about food. Alongside Good Egg, a number of other stylish retailers — some with zero connection to the area's historical role as a food market — have put down roots. Kid Icarus on Nassau is a small storefront specializing in witty, hand-printed stationery. And Bungalow, which has just spawned a second location across the street, successfully mixes a carefully curated selection of '60s teak furniture and housewares with both new and vintage clothing.
"We've been here about eight years and always had a following, but the whole Mad Men thing has really made a difference," says Paul, the owner.
Restaurateur Robert Eklove, whose lively Supermarket was arguably the first sign of the fab new face of Kensington when it opened in 2004, took a chance on the Augusta Ave. location, in part "because of the history of the market as a cool, authentic and colourful downtown neighbourhood."
While he agrees "the market is less intimidating than it used to be," he isn't sure it's the next West Queen West or Ossington. "It's still pretty quiet at night," Eklove says, adding that Kensington's late-night spots are still outposts, rather than part of a happening scene. "But then again, who saw Ossington coming?"
