Review: God Gave Us Angels by Lisa Tawn Bergren
My Review:
The illustrations are absolutely gorgeous! They are very vibrant and my daughter loved the pictures. It was more of a question/answer format with Little Cub asking Papa Bear about angels. Each page is a question that Little Cub asks his Papa, and Papa Bear answering back. While it is a simple message, God is in control, angels guide us, the topic of angels can get overwhelming and rather difficult to answer in a children's book. Nonetheless, the author tackles a huge question I am sure children ask, in a kid friendly, approachable and understandable way. There was a minor grammatical error in the book, however it was only one error. Another issue I have is when an author writes the way he/she perceives the child to talk. I didn't care for some of the lingo used, but it's readable. I found myself grammatically correcting Little Cub. I know…it's a personal issue and has nothing to do with this particular author. Overall, a good read.

Review & Gift Package Giveaway- Surf Sharks: The First Ride by Shelley Wolf
Hardcover, 36 pages
Published March 1st 2014 by Surf Sharks Inc
Surf Sharks: The First Ride is the first in a series of books. It's an extraordinary story about how three young sharks and three young surfers come together to help each other escape danger and solve problems. They find friendship, respect, and a common love for the waves. This captivating adventure is filled with excitement, surprising characters, and fascinating facts about sharks. Surf Sharks—they're righteous, radical, and always ready to ride! Check out the next big wave in children's entertainment at surfsharks.com.
Press Release for Surf Sharks: The First Ride:
There's a new kids action-comedy entertainment brand on the scene, all from the imagination of Chance Wolf, an industry-recognized comic book artist and toy designer.
Fully created and illustrated by Wolf, Surf Sharks follows the comedy adventures of a group of young surfers and sharks who forge a friendship and ride the waves together as they help each other solve daily challenges faced by all growing kids.
First book in the series, Surf Sharks: The First Ride is now available in all major book stores and online via Amazon Kindle and iTunes/iBooks in eBook version. The debut book introduces the surfing sharks – MAVRIK, TALON and HEMI along with their surfer dude friends, RIP, OZZY and WADE as they find that by working together, they can take on even the biggest problems.
Chance brings over 30 years experience as a commercial artist with high-profile credits in comic books that encompass Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Spawn and Shadowhawk. He also received an Emmy Certificate for his work as a main character designer for the Emmy Award Winning HBO animated series SPAWN and worked in product design for McFarlane Toys' bestselling X-Files collectibles line.
With the tremendous popularity surrounding Sharks, Surf Sharks is a natural for today's kids. In fact, Google Trends reports that sharks now holds the #1 spot for animal search terms, not to mention the major success of such shark-themed films and television programming as Sharknado and Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus and Discovery's ubiquitous Shark Weeks.
Born in 1963 and raised in Eastern Washington, Chance showed a passion for art from the time he could hold a pencil. As a child, he devoted much of his time nose-deep into comic books admiring the art and mimicking it the best he could on any piece of paper available (including his homework). Selling his first piece of art at age 11 was a clear indicator of a prospering career as an Illustrator that has now spanned over three decades.
As a young adult, his desire to grow as an artist motivated him to focus on his drawing skills as he hit the drawing board to hone his childhood comic book passion. His path towards becoming a professional comic book artist began when his talents were discovered by an associate of iconic industry creative Todd McFarlane. Chance began a tenure with McFarlane that would span over ten years, allowing the new artist to work on internationally recognized comic book titles such as Shadowhawk, Spawn and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles just to name a few.
Chance worked side by side with Todd, assisting in drawing the number one selling comic book Spawn and was called upon to join with a team of artists to handle the task of Main Character Designers for the HBO Emmy Award winning Animated Series Spawn, in which Chance received and Emmy Certificate acknowledging his work on the series. Chance became Todd's right hand man on numerous assignments, including toy action figure art direction, designs for licensees and convention booth creation. Chance was hand-picked by Todd to visit with X-Files creator Chris Carter in Hollywood in order to help finalize designs for McFarlane's popular X-Files toy line.
Observing his son's fascination with sharks, Chance was inspired to create Surf Sharks, which he has launched as a book series, with the first release Surf Sharks: The First Ride now available in all leading book stores in hard cover and online as an eBook via Amazon Kindle and iTunes/iBooks.
I absolutely love the book cover, the storyline, and the illustrations! This is definitely a great tool to be used in the classroom, at home for your young child, and makes a great gift. The best reviewer is a child, so I gave the book to my daughter, who immediately was immersed in the book. I read it to her, her brother read it to her, and she loved it. Not only did my daughter love it, my college aged student loved it, too! He even remarked how he wish there had been a series like that when he was younger! Each page is so vibrant and draws the young reader in! The illustrations are fantastic and definitely make the storyline pop that much more!
When I first looked at the book, it reminded me of the cartoon show my sons used to watch: Rocket Power and the movie, Shark Tales. In this book, the sharks are the kid's surfboards, but in a friendly, non-violent way. Okay, no PETA! No animals were harmed in the making of this book!
Within the storyline, children will learn about sharks. An added bonus were the collector cards, pop up characters, and sticker book. The only issue I had was the book had only 1 girl in the book, who shows up at the very end of the story. However, it didn't seem to bother my daughter too much. She was looking for the girl character, using the collector card, but was okay about it. Maybe in the future books that are published, more girls will be featured in the storyline.
Aside from the educational facts about the sharks, there is a wonderful storyline about self-acceptance and accepting others regardless of differences. Overall, it's an excellent book that will make for a great addition to any children's bookshelf!
Wouldn't you want to read this book to your child or give this excellent book to a little one? Great news! The publisher has offered to give one reader a gift pack:
- A copy of Surf Sharks: The First Ride
- A sticker book
- 32 Surf Shark stickers with fun shark facts on the back
- A set of pop-up collector cards

Book Review: Addie B. Strong-I Am So Strong by Alyson Flippo and Kathleen Murphy Willer
My Review:
As you already know, I am very selective about the Children's books I review. I only review about 10 a year, so I am particular about the ones I accept for review.
The Title:
I was drawn to this book because of the title. Doesn't it just have a great ring to it? Addie B. Strong: I Am So Strong, is the name of this clever and beautiful book. It's a little girl who is strong, but how is she strong? Readers find out how she is strong, and how they also can be strong, as they become inspired by Addie and her journey.
The Cover:
I absolutely love the cover of this book! A children's book can't just have a great message, it also needs to hold the reader's attention with great illustrations. However, the cover needs to be eye catching, that a reader will naturally gravitate towards it. This cover does just that. It's clever, with it's catchy title, the colors are vibrant, and Addie is absolutely adorable.
The Illustrations/Storyline:
I read this book to my 5 year old daughter, who is the best judge for this book. She loved the large pages and colorful design. Addie is a little girl that can be identified as any ethnicity. She looks like a little girl that readers will identify with, because Addie has a special look that makes her adaptable to any culture. This is a big issue when choosing books for young readers, because a parent/caretaker wants to find a book that their child can identify with. After all, the book's title implies that the reader is also strong.
Addie has a simple about her, that readers can draw and make their own. Her little dress changes with each page turn, and goes with the storyline of that page(s). My daughter loved looking at the dresses and guessing what each page was about. She thought it was so cute how Addie has thin arms, yet is quite powerful in each page. She loved that Addie's size didn't determine her strength and her ability to move mountains and have fun adventures. I loved that each page wasn't cluttered, told a story, rhymed, and was colorful.
Addie is a carefree little girl, who wants to have what her friends have. However, with some sound advice from her mom, Addie discovers she has gifts that money can't buy. The book ends with Addie having a new beginning, which lets readers know that Addie will have more adventures to share with them in the future.
Overall, this is a great book to buy as a gift for young children, ages3-6. Although, it can be read to younger children, older children may enjoy reading this book to themselves, too.

Book Review: Nest by Esther Ehrlich
It has been awhile since I've read a Middle Grade/Children's book. I was drawn to this book because of the synopsis, which you can read by clicking on the book cover. The book is told through the point of view of Naomi (who is called by her nickname "Chirp). Chirp is obsessed with birds and loves reading about them, studying them, and locating them by her house.
Chirp is the typical 11 year old girl, who develops a friendship with one of the boys down her street, which she handles delicately because he is known as the school bully. Her mom, a beautiful dancer, that she strives to please is diagnosed with a disease that in the 70's wasn't as treatable as it is today. Chirp, her sister (the rebellious teenager), and her father (the psychiatrist).
At first, I didn't feel the book had enough detail about the mom's emotional and physical issues and how it truly impacted the marriage and parent/child relationship. Why? Well, because I am so used to reading YA and Women's fiction. Then, I remembered this is for young children, middle school readers, and even high schoolers. Although, I have a feeling anyone will love this book because Esther truly captures the youthful spirit and hopes/desires of a young little girl, who shows us how she makes sense of what is happening to her family. Chirp is so innocent, so precious, that you just want to hold her and never let her go.
Young readers will relate to Chirp, love the relationship between her and her sister, understand how she feels about her mom's diagnosis, and enjoy the friendship she develops with Joey.
Older readers will love the innocence Chirp brings, love the nods to the 70's and vinyl records, and have a better appreciation for the way Chirp understands and experiences the family challenges and shifts in the family dynamics. Most importantly, it will open a window into the eyes of a child and hopefully have families talk more, share more, and learn more from one another.
This is a book of hope, in the midst of tragedy, and is a beautifully written story!

Review & Autographed Giveaway: Tuke: The Specialist Turtle by Jim Ritterhoff & Tory Novikova
Synopsis (from Goodreads):
Tuke the Specialist Turtle is the story of a young turtle struggling to find his place in one of the most extraordinary places on earth. Ridiculed by his fellow marine creatures for being too small for his shell, an adolescent green sea turtle named Tuke leaves his coral reef home in the waters off Little Cayman in search of a world he hopes will appreciate him. But it isn't until he's befriended by a group of researchers from the Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI) that Tuke begins to understand how important he is to his home – and vice versa. Created by Chowder, Inc. for young readers, Tuke the Specialist Turtle is a story about growth, responsibility and protecting those special places that need our help.
A portion of the proceeds from this sale will go to support the Coral Reef Conservancy and the Central Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI), Little Cayman Research Centre.
My Review:
Move over, Squirt! There's a new turtle in the ocean!! The animation and vivid colors on each page are gorgeous! I have a 4 year old daughter, and she loved all the pictures, as we talked about the different animals on each page. The book size is perfect for a classroom teacher to read (since the pages are large), perfect for little and big people, and is quite educational, too. Aside from the education of showing how animals are tracked so that scientists can learn their travel pattern, etc., it has an excellent moral lesson in the story, too!
Tuke is a small turtle with a large shell. His water friends make fun of him because of his large shell, which makes him feel like he doesn't fit them. It isn't until he is "tagged" that he learns he has an important job, and that he is special despite his differences. I loved the overall message in the book: everyone-no matter how small or large-has a purpose and it doesn't matter what you look like because you are special.
This book is perfect for the young child that loves water, loves animals (especially turtles), teachers/educators, and make a perfect gift! I love books that contribute to charities and this one does!! Proceeds go to the Coral Reef Conservatory!
I also love the idea of buying this book as a gift with a turtle stuffed animal or tickets to Moody Gardens to see the Aquarium. This book just makes a perfect gift for any occasion, and it's one that every library should carry and child should have! It's an excellent, easy to read story, which will keep readers engaged in the story!
If you are a Houstonian or love the Houston Rockets, you will enjoy knowing that Rudy Tomjanovich's daughter, Melissa, is a co-author!! So, Texas readers, you will definitely want to support this book and its efforts…as we Texans love supporting our local authors!
So, while I wouldn't change anything with the storyline or artwork, I do hope the authors and publisher will consider making Tuke the Specialist Turtle merchandise, and possibly make a short film! I could definitely see these books being sold at Kemah Boardwalk in Galveston, Moody Gardens, and basically anywhere books are sold!
I really can't rave enough about this book. Tuke is a really cute little turtle and he reminded me a bit of Nemo (from Finding Nemo) and Mumble (from Happy Feet). Each of them have a special purpose, and while they are seen as a "misfit", there is something different from the rest of their group that makes them important.
Book will be available July 1, 2013!!

Review: The Madman's Daughter by Megan Shepherd
Synopsis from LibraryThing:
Sixteen-year-old Juliet Moreau has built a life for herself in London—working as
a maid, attending church on Sundays, and trying not to think about the scandal
that ruined her life. After all, no one ever proved the rumors about her
father's gruesome experiments. But when she learns he is alive and continuing
his work on a remote tropical island, she is determined to find out if the
accusations are true.
Accompanied by her father's handsome young
assistant, Montgomery, and an enigmatic castaway, Edward—both of whom she is
deeply drawn to—Juliet travels to the island, only to discover the depths of her
father's madness: He has experimented on animals so that they resemble, speak,
and behave as humans. And worse, one of the creatures has turned violent and is
killing the island's inhabitants. Torn between horror and scientific curiosity,
Juliet knows she must end her father's dangerous experiments and escape her
jungle prison before it's too late. Yet as the island falls into chaos, she
discovers the extent of her father's genius—and madness—in her own
Inspired by H. G. Wells's classic "The Island of Dr. Moreau", "The
Madman's Daughter" is a dark and breathless Gothic thriller about the secrets
we'll do anything to know and the truths we'll go to any lengths to protect.
My Review:
This is a very haunting tale, that had me so engrossed in the story and ended with me wanting to know more. Imagine my surprise and happiness to learn that this is the first book in a trilogy set. Typically, I don't read series/trilogy books, unless the whole set is available. Why? Because I hate waiting!! And, now I will have to wait!
The story is based on an older version of The Island of Dr. Moreau, by H.G. Wells. It was eerie and while I had some ideas as to where the story was going to go, I still loved reading the story and trying to figure out what would happen to Montgomery, Edward, and Juliet, in the end.
There were times I was reminded of the movie, Jurassic Park, with all the animal manipulations and research a crazy mad scientist was inventing. While it was different on some levels, the premise was the same: inventor designs creation, creation performs to inventor's expectations, inventor gets greedy, creations rebel against inventor. Sound easy enough, right? Wrong!!! While that is the basic premise, don't let that sway you from reading this book! It's a fascinating sci-fi thriller and Megan leaves the reader wanting to read more!! So, I'm with the rest of those readers, who loved the book….waiting to get a hold of the 2nd book!!

Review: Reinventing Rachel by Alison Strobel
God let Rachel Westing down. For twenty-six years she's done everything by the book; she figures He should have her back. But then she learns her fiancé is cheating on her. Her parents are getting a divorce. And her Christian mentor has a pill addiction. Where is God in all this? Nowhere, as far as Rachel can see. Wounded, bitter, and with a shattered faith, she quits her job and moves across the country to live with Daphne—her childhood best friend whose soul Rachel once thought she was meant to save.
Confident, successful, fun-loving Daphne sets about helping Rachel reinvent herself, and for a while it's exciting. But when another tragedy shakes Rachel to the core, what little bit of self-possession she has left begins to unravel. A true-to-life story that will draw you in and keep you biting your nails until the end.
My Review:
This is a Christian fiction book, definitely geared towards a YA audience. However, as someone a smidge beyond young adult, I also enjoyed the storyline. There are quite a few issues Rachel faces and it's through her eyes, we read her struggles and her anger towards God. I thought this book could definitely help those facing similar issues and how inspite of ourselves, God does not abandon us. While I would have liked a little more storyline after Daphne's hospitalization and aftermath, the author did a nice wrap up and bring closure to issues Rachel was still faced with. I highly recommend this book to those who love a great Christian fiction read with some real life issues many people face today.

In 1941, fifteen-year-old Lina is preparing for art school, first dates, and all that summer has to offer. But one night, the Soviet secret police barge violently into her home, deporting her along with her mother and younger brother. They are being sent to Siberia. Lina's father has been separated from the family and sentenced to death in a prison camp. All is lost.
Lina fights for her life, fearless, vowing that if she survives she will honor her family, and the thousands like hers, by documenting their experience in her art and writing. She risks everything to use her art as messages, hoping they will make their way to her father's prison camp to let him know they are still alive.
It is a long and harrowing journey, and it is only their incredible strength, love, and hope that pull Lina and her family through each day. But will love be enough to keep them alive?
Between Shades of Gray is a riveting novel that steals your breath, captures your heart, and reveals the miraculous nature of the human spirit.
My Review:
I remember being in 8th grade and going to my school library. I was immediately drawn to the book, "The Diary of Anne Frank" because I thought it was fascinating how a diary could be made into a book. Yes, I knew absolutely nothing about the book nor Anne Frank and was immediately drawn into the life and struggles of Anne's life. This book, "Between Shades of Gray" is this generations "The Diary of Anne Frank".
One word. Unforgettable. This is a story that I read in 2 days. Some of the scenes are forever etched in my heart and mind. Seriously. There are very few books that leave that huge of an impact on my life and "Shade of Gray" is one of them. While this is a YA book, as an adult I could appreciate the details and really connected with Lina, a brave and beautiful soul that draws what she sees and feels. Trying to stay strong for her mother and brother, her sole focus is to reunite with her father, who is at a concentration camp away from their work camp.
As the Soviet's NKVD came into homes to take away families and separate families, kill them, resume their identities and homes, the world was transfixed on the evil Hitler was doing. Under Stalin's regime, mass genocide was happening to the Baltic people. Ruta brings the issues and shares the horror these families faced. I was absolutely captivated and there were many moments I just had to put the book down and grieve. I cried, I laughed, and my heart ached for Lina and the others who meet Lina along the way.
Through Lina's bravery and perseverance, she documents what she witnesses and experiences as a testament to what they experienced. While Lina and those around her struggle to survive, this book shows that the heart and spirit of someone cannot be imprisoned.
As a parent, there are many wonderful teaching opportunities for our children. It is a book that adults and children alike can read and learn about war, stereotypes/discrimination, socialism, and the human spirit. Above all, it is a book that needs to be read as a reminder of what can happen and to give voice to the millions who died during Stalin's regime.
I highly recommend this book and is a personal favorite of mine! Everyone should read this book…that is how great it is written and the message is something we all need to hear and learn from.
Memorable Quotes:
"Have you ever wondered what a human life is worth? That morning, my brother's was worth a pocket watch."
"We'd been trying to touch the sky from the bottom of the ocean. I realized that if we boosted one another, maybe we'd get a little closer."
"Mother told me to feel sorry for the person, that they had been pushed over the edge of their identity."
"I scanned the group. Faces spoke to their future. I saw courage, anger, fear, and confusion. Others were hopeless. They had already given up. Which was I?"
*These are just a few…there are so many!! I just don't want to give too much away and take from your reading experience. I just hope with reading some of these quotes that it will stir your heart to read this book.
About the Author:
Born and raised in Michigan, Ruta Sepetys is the daughter of a Lithuanian refugee. The nations of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia disappeared from maps in 1941 and did not reappear until 1990.

Ruta lives with her family in Tennessee. Between Shades of Gray is her first novel.

Review: I Love You More…Than Chocolate by Melanie Milburn
Product Details
- Hardcover: 32 pages
- Publisher: InstantPublisher; First edition (December 6, 2010)
- Genre: Children's Fiction
This book was originally a song, and inside the back cover, you have a CD of Melanie singing the song. When Melanie would tuck her children into bed at night, she made sure they knew how much they were loved. She told them she loved them more than anything even chocolate! Her children knew she was a chocoholic, so they had no doubt, they knew they were loved! Every child wants to know they are loved, and this book conveys what parents want their children to know in a way that speaks clearly and impressively to the child's mind and heart.
My Review:
I absolutely love this book! It starts with a little girl wanting to know how much her mom loves her. As her mom puts her daughter to sleep, she starts listing all the ways in which she loves her daughter. I loved that the mother/daughter's illustration could easily be considered Caucasian, Hispanic, Asian, and other ethnicity's that help any child relate to the character in the book. I also love the ease of the words and the repetition used so that a child can learn the words and after a while recognize them to say join along. The pictures were very lively, clear to point out, and help the child engage with the story more. It is a very easy book to read, one that will be enjoyed for many years and easily become a child's favorite story! As an added bonus, a CD is attached to the book that includes the exact story being sung with music by the author.
P.S. This review was approved by my year old daughter, who not only loves the story, but also likes dancing to the song!

Police were called about a woman driving an unlicensed scooter on the wrong side of the street while walking a dog, but police were unable to find her March 7.
According to the Greenfield police report:
A resident called police dispatch to report a woman was driving an unlicensed scooter on the wrong side of the street while walking a dog on a leash in the 10300 block of West Howard Avenue at 2:50 p.m. March 7.
The caller told dispatch that not only should the woman not be riding in the road with an unlicensed scooter, but also she is making the dog run alongside her so fast it doesn't have time to stop and urinate.
The caller said the woman does this every day.
Police were unable to locate the woman when they responded.

Coming to YOUR town??

DetailsParent Category: ROOT Published Date Harrisonburg, VA - Virginia educators will be gathering at James Madison University's College of Integrated Science and Technology on March 7-9, 2012 to participate in WVPT's National Teacher Training Institute (NTTI). Methodologies and techniques to improve classroom instruction and enhance student learning are at the heart of NTTI which provides professional development demonstrating the effective integration of technology tools and resources. WVPT's Education Services Department has provided NTTI annually for nearly 20 years. By partnering two of education's most valuable resources—teachers and technology—NTTI seeks to serve as a catalyst for lasting change and reform.
Since 1993, over 2000 educators from all 23 school divisions in our viewing area have attended WVPT's NTTI. The Institute consists of a series of training events across three days. Focus is on integrating technology into the curricula, whether math, science, English, social studies, fine arts, character education, or other content area. Financial support from the Shenandoah Valley Technology Consortium Ed Tech Grant has enabled WVPT's NTTI to have such an expansive focus.Important overarching educational goals at the Institute include:
- increasing young people's interest and proficiency in content areas, and
- keeping classroom teachers, technology resource teachers, and other technology and media specialists in stride with rapid advances in the field of technology.
Critical thinking and problem-solving exercises are central to NTTI's active learning pedagogy. Teachers learn:
- to direct student attention before viewing video materials, using the Internet, or conducting a hands-on exercise
- to select appropriate video sequences for focus; and
- to pause the video to elaborate on ideas, promote analysis and discourse, and elicit student response
This methodology is modeled in the training sessions to demonstrate how to apply and to incorporate them into the teachers' own media-rich lessons.
About WVPT: Since 1968, WVPT has been the Shenandoah Valley and Central Virginia's public television station. But that's just scratching the surface. WVPT is also a classroom, a concert hall, a conference center, a college, and a library of the airwaves. WVPT is one of the most accessible educational institutions in the region, utilizing the power of broadcasting to help carry out its mission of education, culture, and citizenship for everyone within its reach.

The next act in the battle between Amazon Web Services and IBM for the opportunity to develop a cloud computing infrastructure for the CIA, the NSA and the rest of intelligence community opens Oct. 7, and the stakes could hardly be higher.
The U.S. Court of Federal Claims will decide whether the Government Accountability Office was right in June when it sustained IBM's bid protest against AWS's $600 million contract award from the CIA in early 2013. Following GAO's ruling, which directed the CIA to reopen negotiations and rebid the contract, AWS filed a complaint essentially asking the court to overturn the decision.
Oral arguments begin Monday – assuming the government shutdown does not affect the court docket – and Judge Thomas Wheeler will preside over a case that may have repercussions across the technology space. A decision is expected in mid-October.
Amazon files court complaint over CIA cloud deal
Amazon rips GAO, IBM in lawsuit over CIA cloud deal
Inside the IBM/Amazon protest
Amazon and CIA ink cloud deal
Of course, money is on the line. A half-billion dollars and change is a lot of money in cloud revenue, and it's a particularly significant sum in the federal sector, where most agencies have yet to utilize cloud for more than the most rudimentary IT services.
Yet far more than money is at stake between these two tech behemoths.
Reputations matter, especially in Washington, where they play an immeasurable but important role in deal-making. IBM has a well-established track record as a contractor to civilian, defense and intelligence agencies, but AWS's aggressive foray into the federal cloud computing market suggests the landscape may be shifting.
Whichever company receives the award gets instant fed-cred. If IBM snatches the first-of-its-kind deal with the CIA away from AWS, Big Blue proves its staying power in an ever-changing tech arena; if AWS lands the contract, it will have proven itself a player, forcing its way into a market ripe with opportunities.
This is not lost on the leaders of both companies' federal efforts.
"It's always good to have people who are perceived as competition, it pushes all of us to do better things," AWS Vice President of Worldwide Public Sector Teresa Carlson told FCW in an interview. "We are moving the cheese. We're trying to look at IT differently."
Carlson said "new-school" approaches to IT such as pay-as-you-use service can lower costs and drive mission success. AWS attacked the cloud computing market early on and hasn't let up since.
IBM's Anne Altman, meanwhile, told FCW that the company has six years of experience in cloud computing and isn't the cloud newbie it's sometimes made out to be. IBM also has decades of experience working for the government, which Altman said helps separate it from challengers in the federal cloud market, especially in the high-stakes game of intelligence data.
"Experience is something to think of, and we have served some of the most mission critical environments for a long time," said Altman, who is general manager of IBM's U.S. federal business. She added that IBM would not have to "learn on the job."
The CIA accepted new bids from both companies in August, but the agency is waiting until the Claims Court ruling to disclose a decision. The new bids from AWs and IBM likely differ significantly from the bids they put forth in 2012 when the CIA first announced it was seeking a cloud solution.
Since FCW first reported the CIA's award to AWS in March and IBM's subsequent bid protest in May, both companies' bid figures and technical specs were put in the public spotlight -- not to mention each other's.
AWS has since added more than 150 new services to its repertoire, including Glacier storage, for rarely accessed data, and Redshift, its petabyte-scale cloud-based data warehouse. And in May it received certification under Federal Risk Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) certification, the government's rigorous cloud computing security standards.
IBM hasn't been idle, either.
Big Blue made a huge $2 billion move to purchase SoftLayer Technologies, the world's largest privately held cloud computing infrastructure. IBM's federal team expects SoftLayer's acquisition to mitigate the apparent gap between IBM's and AWS's technical solutions as noted by GAO's formal bid protest ruling. In its ruling, GAO said the CIA chose AWS over IBM – despite IBM offering a cheaper solution – because AWS offered a "superior technical solution."
And the two companies have plenty of other competition in the federal cloud space as well. There are now nine FedRAMP-certified providers, with more in the pipeline. And Verizon, which provides a wide range of agencies with enterprise cloud services, on Oct. 3 announced new computing and storage offerings that promise faster deployment and better pricing. Verizon Terremark Public Sector's Chief Operation Officer Norm Laudermilch, speaking with FCW prior to the announcement, said that both services are already in the FedRAMP approval process.
For the CIA cloud deal, however, it's a two-horse race. And all eyes are on Oct. 7.

Motorola and LG vie to be first with Android 5.0 update
The race to upgrade smartphones to Android 5.0 (also known as Lollipop) is on, with LG Electronics and Motorola vying with Google's Nexus devices for bragging rights.
The race to upgrade smartphones to Android 5.0 (also known as Lollipop) is on, with LG Electronics and Motorola vying with Google's Nexus devices for bragging rights.
China's Lenovo finally has the global smartphone presence it has craved, finalizing the purchase of Motorola Mobility from Google for $US2.91 billion.
Motorola has painted its Droid Turbo as having impressive speed and durability, but the smartphone's long battery life and quick recharge feature also stand out.
Plastic is out and metal, leather and wood are in as smartphone vendors hope luxurious-looking devices will inspire buyers to upgrade.
Motorola Mobility starts shipping its Android Wear-based Moto 360 smartwatch on Friday for US$250.
By selling Motorola Mobility to Lenovo, Google is ending a combination that never really worked out while keeping assets that could prove valuable down the road.
Five years after its inception, Android is more dominant than ever in the smartphone OS market, despite facing a number of challenges along the way.
Motorola's Droid Razr HD makes a lasting impression with its first-class build quality and outstanding battery life -- but the Android smartphone also has its fair share of flaws.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Hi: 8° Lo:2°

Rugby Town 2 Fleet Town 0
Southern League Division One Central
A GOAL in each half proved enough to see Rugby cement their place in the play-off zone with victory against struggling Fleet Town on Saturday.
With the rain hammering down, Fleet's best moment came early on but Dave Bevan kept out Jack White's effort and from then on Rugby went on to dominate.
Fazel Koriya and the impressive Craig Kelly both went close to open the scoring before Valley did strike in the 29th minute.
There was initial confusion as to who got the goal with both Mason Rowley and David Kolodynski wheeling away in celebration after Kelly's excellent corner.
After the goal was originally accredited to Rowley, it was in fact Kolodynski who turned in the defender's flicked header from close range.
Ryan Price denied Kolodynski a second shortly afterwards when he was clean through on the keeper before Seb Lake-Gaskin blazed over as the hosts pushed for a second before the break.
Fleet made more of a game of it in the second half, with Bevan down well to save Ben White's shot and Pat Cox's close range strike blocked on the line by Alex Gudger.
Kolodynski struck the upright with a speculative effort from distance for Rugby before late in the game they grabbed a second when substitute Richard Blythe finished off a quick counter-attack which had seen Kolodynski break free down the left wing.

'The Passion To Succeed - And To Be Different?
Free registration required
Executive Summary
Seizing opportunity with passion and leadership was a prevalent theme throughout the Women's Business Association conference, organized by students and hosted at the Kellogg School on April 14. The annual event gathered students, alumnae and business professionals to learn from top women business leaders on leading in all aspects of one's life. "Be opportunistic. Leadership is about risk-taking," Pritchard said. "It's all about the passion to succeed - and to be different. Let your curiosity guide you."

White-knight bidder for Botox
19.11.2014 - It's not every day that a company is pushed into the top ten of its sector, but that day has come for Actavis. Christmas came early for the new pharma giant after completing a US$66bn (€53bn) takeover battle for the Botox manufacturer Allergan.
There's a happy ending for the Californian pharmaceutical company, who has avoided a hostile takeover by Canadian pharmaceutical Valeant. Allergan shareholders are now set to receive a combination of US$129.22 in cash and 0.3683 Actavis shares for each share of Allergan common stock. The transaction between the two companies is valued at US$66m or US$219 (€175) per share.Irish Actavis beat its Canadian competitor Valeant after a takeover battle that lasted seven months. For Actavis, the merger is a tour de force and has made them one of the ten largest pharmaceutical companies in the world.
"This acquisition creates the fastest growing and most dynamic growth pharmaceutical company in global healthcare, making us one of the world's top 10 pharmaceutical companies," said Brent Saunders, CEO and President of Actavis, who will head the combined company.Under the deal, Actavis will lead the company and hopes to make US$23bn in revenue from Allergan's ophthalmology, neurosciences and dermatology business together with Actavis' gastroenterology and women's health franchises."Today's transaction provides Allergan stockholders with substantial and immediate value, as well as the opportunity to participate in the significant upside potential of the combined company," said David E. I. Pyott, Chairman and CEO of Allergan.
In the same week as the Actavis-Allergan deal, the Dublin-based pharma also finalised the acquisition of Durata Therapeutics. The acquisition of the Chicago-based pharma enhances Actavis' Infectious Disease portfolio with Durata's FDA-approved Dalvance, a novel antibiotic for acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections in adults. The Durata merger is ultimately the icing on the cake for Actavis, whose share price increased by more than 10 percent between 14 – 18 November.

Tina Fey Returns to SNL as Sarah Palinby Free Britney at . Comments
Saturday Night Live alum Tina Fey returned to reprise her role as Sarah Palin in a debate sketch of potential Republican presidential candidates this weekend.
Introduced as "current famous person Sarah Palin," Fey wasted no time launching into her pitch-perfect impression of the '08 GOP vice presidential nominee.
"It's so nice to be back on FOX News, a network that both pays me and shows me the questions ahead of time," Fey gushed as Palin. "I just hope tonight the lamestream media won't twist my words by repeating them verbatim."
These two make an unbeatable political team. The actors, that is.
"First, I want to acknowledge that we have finally vanquished one of the world's great villains. I for one am thrilled to say good riddance to Katie Couric!" she added.
SNL may fall flat much of the time, but political sketches like this have always been - and remain - must-watch material. Having Tina as host doesn't hurt.
While Fey was terrific, Bill Hader (as Fox News' Shepard Smith) and Darrell Hammond (reprising his role as Donald Trump) really stole the show here.
Watch it after the jump ...
Used to love tina fey. sucks that u cant mention her name anymore without it automatically conjuring up sarah palin. too predictable and stuck in '08 does not make for cutting edge entertainment. tina fey, forever sarah palin. what a waste.

I've been an occasional lurker here just because I love a good debate, but I rarely get involved because I can get caught up in it and never leave...;) There is a question that I have for all the pro choicers out there.
|Mon, 02-01-2010 - 9:40am
I wasn't aware that so-called "partial-birth abortion" was only used for elective abortions. Silly me. Oh, wait! It's not used at all anymore, since it was banned. So if it was banned, then how are all those myriad women aborting for convenience after viability having abortions?
But precisely how many abortions occur after viability for the mother's convenience? You say there are more, so how many? 5% of all abortions? 10%? 20%?

|Mon, 02-01-2010 - 9:47am
Like others, I can't make a decision based on such a dearth of data. What is it about the woman's condition that makes continuing the pregnancy so dangerous?
As far as Tim Tebow's mother, my understanding is that she was told that the treatment she needed for dysentery would cause the fetus irreparable harm, and so it was recommended that she terminate her pregnancy.
But what does this have to do with your discussion? Someone who doesn't get treatment for dysentery while pregnant could become so dehydrated as to start premature labor (before viability or after), or they could die themselves. I don't know enough about medical treatments in the Philippines in the 1980s to know if the treatment for dysentery would have been dangerous to a growing fetus.
So, should we make a law based on the fact that one woman, 23 years ago, survived a pregnancy to go on to have a healthy baby? What sense is there in basing laws off one example?

< The argument that I have always heard to this was the mother possibly losing her life if she carries the child full term. >
This is determined by the woman's OB, and all decisions on her care should be made by her and her Doctor, not politicians, not you, not me. I am not a physician, and the only pregnancy that I have intimate knowledge of is my own. So, I cannot answer your medical questions concerning the diagnosis of health issues or conditions due to pregnancy for anyone else.
It all comes down to whether or not you trust OBs to have the judgement needed to make these types of decisions.
And whether or not you think that women have the ability to make ethical decisions about childbearing.
If you think that laws are needed to override physician's and women's judgements, then you don't trust women and physicians.
Physicians are bound by ethics as to when not to end a pregnancy at the request of a woman, just as they are bound not to cut off a healthy limb on demand.
So, unless you think that OBs and Gynecologists are, as a rule, likely to defy medical ethics, there is no need for anyone else to be sticking their nose into the exam room.
|Mon, 02-01-2010 - 10:35am
Nobody here got "huffy" in their replies to you. My "answer" was also simple, fact-based and included links. Your reply seemed to imply that you already knew everything about preemies, rendering my response pointless.
Have you been on a debate board before? You might consider pulling up the old big-girl drawers if you're going to hang around.
|Mon, 02-01-2010 - 10:40am
< As in the case of Tim Tebow's mother. Her dr suggested an abortion due to her health stating that she probably couldn't carry the child full term. >
Just an FYI - The validity of that story has been called into question. Abortion has been illegal in the Phillipines since 1930 - even to save the life of the woman. There are very harsh penalties for physicians who do perform them.
Physicians and midwives who perform abortions in the Philippines face six years in prison, and may have their licenses suspended or revoked, and that women who receive abortions – no matter the reason – may be punished with imprisonment for two to six years.
It is highly unlikely that a physician would have suggested an abortion. If she did seek one, it would have been illegal, and therefore very dangerous.
|Mon, 02-01-2010 - 10:47am
This is a beautiful story, but it doesn't change anything WRT why abortion needs to remain safe, legal and accessible for those who need/desire it.
You mentioned in your first post that you would not have your mind changed by our replies to you. Please understand that anecdotal stories like this will not change the minds of PC'ers on this board, either. Furthermore, the fact that baby did ultimately pass away, while heartbreaking, is only further proof that birthing babies at 24 weeks is not even remotely "simple", as you referred to it in your OP.
|Mon, 02-01-2010 - 10:55am
Again, these anecdotal stories are not necessarily compelling, at least they aren't to me.
I have personally been in a situation where my child very nearly ended up a micropreemie, and while I would have been thrilled to have her survive and live a normal life, I was very well-versed in the actual risks she faced. I am thankful to my doctors for being frank and realistic with me about what kind of life she might lead, if she lived, after being born at 27 weeks like she almost was.
Stories like yours are beautiful, and I can understand why the PL camp likes to use them to further their agenda, but they are not the norm for babies born much too early. I think that you do more harm than good when you offer stories like this to some people, because you may be proffering false hope, which can be misleading. Many - if not most - of these stories do not have similar happy endings.
|Mon, 02-01-2010 - 11:02am
( So if problems would have arose, why not let her carry the child for as long as she can andif possible, after the age of viablitiy, take the child? )
Why do you think that this is not the case? Do you have evidence or statistics that show women are choosing differently than Mrs. Tebow did.
Interestingly enough, the Ethical guidelines for OB's put out by the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists talk about how difficult it is to get the woman to put her health over the health of the pregnancy.
Their guidelines have sections on how to deal with woman that will risk her health and life before endangering a pregnancy - and how unethical it is to try to force or coerce her to do so (for instance, refusing to get chemotherapy until after the birth, keep going on with the pregnancy despite ongoing permanent damage to her kidneys, etc)
Read for yourself:
Concerning Patient Choice on procedures
Maternal Decisionmaking:
http://www.acog.org/from_home/publications/ethics/co321.pdf (includes a case study about a women refusing c-sections recommended by physicians)
In the above: read paragraph 5 on Page three, about how fetal surgery has raised unrealistic expectations on viability and the outcomes of very premature births.
Concerning respecting maternal end-of-life decisions:
Nothing on how to talk a woman out of ending a healthy late term pregnancy. Nothing. Don't you think that there would at least be a mention of it if indeed this was a problem that OBs were facing?
I think that you have been getting false information on what is or is not happening inside individual doctors' offices. I think that you are assuming that a politician would only introduce legislation that addresses an actual problem, instead of trying to create the impression that there is a problem.
