Chinese tablet maven threatens iPad suit
A Chinese company is crying foul in one of the sillier "We were here first!" disputes that The Reg has seen in quite some time. "I was very angry and suprised two days ago when I saw the news of the iPad presentation," the president of Shenzhen Great Loong Brother, Wu Xiaolong, told Spanish news site El Mundo, according to …
I call BS
Most of the differences are function of OS, not design or, god help me or the US Patent Office, new ideas.
Youre spot on ....
..... with this article. On a first look they do appear to be the same design. But any judge will surely throw this out when he notiices the weight discrepancy.
Well noticed.
Battery life?
"P88: claimed battery life of 1.5 hours" - see icon (left) for details.
A frankfurter is long ...
a hamburger is round. Other than specifications, the Ipad looks nearly identical to the P88 tablet PC. Go Apple for stealing another idea and marketing it as their very own.
big iphone
or, the fact the ipad looks like a big iphone, so unless the P88 predates the iphone....
well done, on the publicity front by the P88 peeps
I cant believe you went the the extent you did to compare these devices.... maybe you need to license that irony logo 'el reg' wrote about a week or two back?
Common sense must prevail here. A silver frame, a black border and a touch sensitive screen. This is "identical" in the same way that the black Porsche that drove past me this morning is the same as my black Renault. Wheels, check, colour, check. Must be the same!
No view of the rear of the device at all.
"Apple stole the appearance of my device, which i blatantly copied from the appearance of their iPhone" should be his complaint.
In other news, Moses comes back from the dead to sue a Chinese company for patent infringement on his device from "thousands of years ago". "It's the bloody same!" an unnamed source quoted the rehabilitated Moses.
I'm no fan of Apple, but...
... one could easily believe that the designer of the P88 was "inspired" by the aesthetics of iPhone and scaled simply scaled it up to tablet proportions. Small wonder then, when Apple latterly kick out an iPhone scaled up to tablet proportions, that it has a similar look about it.
identical, eh? hmm, i expect <insert laptop manufacturer here> will have every previous manufacturer proclaiming they are "very angry and suprised" when their new laptop comes out with an IDENTICAL keyboard, and a screen THAT ICONS APPEAR ON, and ports SO YOU CAN PLUG THINGS IN...my goodness me....the horror. Similarities there are obviously some, but rip off? er...no!
But the chinese iflab is just a fat iphone
The cheek of the chinese iFlab maker, its just a fat iphone hes ripped off . Now hes trying to rip off the people hes already ripped the design off in the first place, nevermind they probably ripped it off someone else. Heck hang on it a rip off iFlab merry go round
Beijing are prosecuting me because I put a wall around my garden and they claim I stole the idea from TV coverage of the Great Wall...
The iPad might be derivative, but not of this yoke
But the iPad is the same basic design as the iPhone and iPod touch (just bigger), both of which were released long before this yoke. Shenzhen Great Loong Brother is a great name for a company, though - I wish the place I work for had such a cool name.
Chinese dont like it when people copy them....
... but the other way seems just fine, funny that.
let alone
Falsify the CE certification
CE certification
Isn't that just part of the decorative design of products now? like go faster stripes on cars etc.
I call troll
Good on him. A bit of free advertising. Fair play to him.
Hang on a minute...
When Apple were in conflict with MS over the 'look and feel' and functionality of their competing Operating systems wasn't there a similar argument......
Oh, Apple lost that one though...
Re: Hang on a minute
I seem to recall they didn't lose - Microsoft settled out of court (investing a tidy sum into Apple in the process) and agreeing to continue to develop and support MS Office for Mac.
One of Steve Jobs's first wins after returning to Apple.
Now, what you haven't commented on is Apple (allegedly) copying and building on the Xerox PARC work, but I'll leave that for the fanbois to argue over (to be fair, there are many versions of this story).
All from memory, and I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong on this.
Yet another marketing disaster
Why on earth would he claim those to be identical? That's the most stupid thing to say, when HIS PRODUCT is CLEARLY the superior one.
The iPad (how long will that name last, since it's a registered trademark of another corp?) should be named the "iSucker" with the tagline "now everyone can see what you are".
--anon (to avoid the rabid iCultists)
Umm to clue you in
You forgot to tick the Anon box.
That is all.
Give me a break
There's only so many ways to produce a tablet shaped device.
The fact that the Chinese unit has ripped off Apple's iPhone styling (chrome effect trim) makes their claims seem rather stupid.
Uhh, at least the chinese copy has features
I'd take it over the iPad
You're logged in as Andrew James.
Good luck trying to use those features with a 1.5 hour battery life.
This all started in the USA
I have a feeling all this suing for this and that ridiculous reason started in the USA and will not disappear until the USA wants to stop all this stupidity in their own legal system.
Famous quote
Movie: Star Wars
Actor: Alec Guinness
"an elegant weapon for a more civilized age". Eh?
that's awesome - completely overlooked that one =D
Not a copy
There are major differences between the two:
P88 can multi-task, iPad cannot
P88 can run Flash, iPad cannot
P88 has USB ports, iPad does not
P88 has an industry-standard CPU, iPad does not
P88 has an ethernet connection, iPad does not
P88 has VGA-out, iPad does not
P88 works with standard external devices (e.g. keyboard), iPad does not
You can install what you like on the P88, on the ipad you must conform to the Rule of Jobs
So it cannot be a copy. The P88 is way more feature-rich than the iPad will ever be.
Move along, people...
...nothing to see here.
What would be really funny..
.. is to find out that his device is not even using legal copies of windows.
for sure seems more useful than iPad
Who cares?
Given that there is rarely any need for a touchscreen to be anything but rectangular, I think it is fairly safe to assume most touchscreen devices are going to look like a rectangular screen in a box. They all look the same!
Now if 'Shenzhen Great Loong Brother' had developed XP and for some inexplicably insane reason Apple had decided that XP's UI was worth ripping off, then they might have had a case. Of course SGLB didn't develop XP and Apple didn't rip it off, so this is all nonsense.
Two words
Publicity stunt.
iMac "homage"
If you look at Great Loong's web site they have an All-In-One PC (called Product-31 and Product-30) computers that look suspiciously like really cheap iMac knock-offs (see picture all-in-one PC with the yellow Ferrari displayed). Shame about the hideous LED clock in the bottom stand. Perhaps Apple can counter sue?
Apples so screwed!
Apples about to get right royally screwed once a Chinese court gets this in the dock. Can just see it now, Chinese company v Big Evil American Company....they're soooooo sunk!
Nice quick work around for this "identical" problem. Apple markets in china with a white border around the screen instead of black. Tadaaa!
are not all laptops the same?
Are not all laptops the same? And desktops? And pads?
The problem here is crediting Apple with anything. Sure the ipad may look nice. And it may actually do something. But, it is hardly a unique product. Heck, it is an incomplete product at best.
I'm with ...
the Chinese on this one.
After all, the Chinese have NEVER copied anything manufactured or designed elsewhere.
Blig Bluvver for obvious reasons.
"You can't buy that kind of worldwide publicity."
So I take it that El Reg didn't get a bean out of passing on this nugget?
Shame, it had to at least be worth a review machine, on permanent loan.
Poor men learn rich men's habits quickly?
The Chinese have cottoned onto the old Western adage
"All publicity is good publicity"
Congrats to Great Loong for millions of dollars of free advertising.

About SX230?

I've had this camera for a while now, and would like to know just where you folks feel it currently rates in the list of Canon P&Ss. When it first came out, it was VERY well regarded. Can this still be said in today's market? Just curious before I do something stupid. I'm considering upgrading, and will likely be selling it. What's a decent price to ask for one of these (blue)?
I have another P&S (Olympus) which may also be heading out to make $$$ room for the upgrade (yet to be determined).

The Belarusian video gaming company that was backing a search in Myanmar for as many as 140 Supermarine Spitfires thought to be buried in crates as WWII was drawing to a close has pulled its financial backing from the project.
In a statement released to the media, Wargaming.net said that "The Wargaming team now believes, based on clear documentary evidence, as well as the evidence from the fieldwork, that no Spitfires were delivered in crates and buried," adding that according to archival records, 37 aircraft in crates were shipped to the country, but "none of the crates contained Spitfires and most appear to have been re-exported."
The company also said it believes that very poor weather at the time the crates were thought to have been buried, as well as a shortage of heavy equipment, would have made such an effort "almost impossible."
But the local partners in Myanmar don't plan to give up on the search, according to a report appearing in the Associated Press. Local company Htoo Htoo Zaw, which has been working with British farmer and Spitfire enthusiast David Cundall on the project, said that the video game company pulled up stakes before a complete survey of the possible burial sites was finished. A retired Myanmar geology professor who has been helping in the search efforts also remains convinced the planes are there. Soe Thein said he is "very confident" the planes are buried at both sites currently being excavated by the team.

Seattle revels in sunny start to boating season
Opening Day draws a big, happy crowd to watch, launch
Seattle Times staff reporter
The faithful who turn out every year for the festival of sails, oars and diesel fumes that launches Seattle's boat season know better than to expect good weather.
But when sunshine is superimposed on the city's annual celebration of all things aquatic, as was the case Saturday, even stoic Northwesterners are quick to peel off their insulating layers and bask.
"We brought deck chairs instead of umbrellas," said Van VanBenschoten, who scored a prime viewing spot on the Montlake Cut. In shorts and sunglasses, he watched racing sculls mill around in the water and waited with his friends for the main attraction: An armada of boats, many decked out like floats in Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.
"You see a lot of really fine old boats," said Michael Byrd, who, like VanBenschoten, lives aboard his boat at Shilshole Marina. That Byrd's floating home chugs fossil fuel, while VanBenschoten's is sail-powered, was no impediment to camaraderie.
"The rag baggers and the stink pots hang out together," VanBenschoten said.
The blue skies were marred by dark smoke from a fire that broke out around 2:15 p.m. in a warehouse at 1443 N. Northlake Way. Firefighters were at first concerned about the possibility of a toxic spill when they found containers of nickel cobalt, a green, acidic material used in metal plating.
Nothing got into the water, but firefighters cordoned off a block-long area to protect people from fumes, said Seattle Fire Department spokesman Kyle Moore. The cause of the fire was unknown Saturday.
Except for adding to the traffic snarls, the fire didn't affect the maritime festivities.
Seattle's Opening Day can be confusing to newcomers, because there's really no official boating season. Die-hards take to the water year-round, blustery weather be damned.
But since 1920, when the Seattle Yacht Club dedicated its stately clubhouse on Portage Bay, the first Saturday in May has been the agreed-upon time to celebrate the end of winter and the arrival of more congenial cruising conditions.
"It's a rite of spring," said Rick Krochalis, who dodged nasty traffic snarls by biking to the University of Washington campus from his home nearby.
Don Ross drove from his home in Mountlake Terrace behind the wheel of the vessel he also planned to captain in the boat parade: A 1964 lagoon-blue Amphicar. Made in Berlin, the amphibious vehicle has two propellers and a motorized surf board strapped on top and labeled "Don's Life Saver," just in case of disaster.
"I've never had to use it, and I hope I never will," Ross said.
But some years, the water has been so choppy waves broke over the hood and slopped into the driver's lap.
"You can't worry," Ross said. "You just take your chances."
This year, odds favored a smooth ride.
In keeping with the 2013 Opening Day theme of "Hawaiian Magic," Ross's co-pilot, Jerry Sorensen, pumped up an inflatable palm tree that sat atop the car like an oversized hood ornament.
Peter Ricks and his crew picked inflatable pineapples and Aloha shirts to festoon the 52-foot motor yacht Pau Hana, whose name means "done with work" in Hawaiian. But less than two hours before showtime, Ricks was hustling to get everything ready before setting forth to represent the Tyee Yacht Club in the parade.
While he tested the sound system and bow-mounted speakers — the song was "Over the Rainbow"— the party was already under way on the stern. Friends sipped mimosas and predicted more beverages to come.
"We plan to whoop it up," said Ricks' girlfriend, Kathy Morrissey, wearing an airy muumuu and flower leis.
Otto Bauer's costume included a coconut-shell brassiere.
Asked what he called the garment, Bauer replied: "Uncomfortable."

A quick study in graceful movement, Peter Gelzhinsky competed in the finals at the USA National Dance Championship just three years after taking up the craft. Parlaying his quick learning into effective teaching methods, Peter now leads hot-footed hopefuls through lessons that cover such social ballroom dances as merengue, cha-cha, and the hustle. Students can also breakdance to the thumping beats of hip-hop classes, or sashay with a provided partner through the salsa-like steps of the bachata. Many students enlist in Star Dance School's lessons in preparation for a wedding or the grand opening of a laundromat with a dance floor.
Founded by Eric Bickernicks, Velma's Wicked Delicious Kettle Corn serves up fresh kettle-cooked popcorn at stands and farmers' markets throughout New England. The staff also brings its salty snacks to private events and parties.
Arthur Murray has been a leading name in franchise dance since 1912, when the entrepreneur began selling mail-order dance lessons. Expanding his reach, he enlisted teachers to spread his signature dance lessons on first-class steamships and skyrocketed to fame in the '30s after introducing the public to such dances as the Lambeth Walk and The Big Apple. By the 1950s, Arthur and his wife, Kathryn, were hosting their own highly popular TV show on ABC, The Arthur Murray Dance Party, which ran for 12 years. Today, Arthur Murray's team prepares students for rug cutting at special events and weekend nightclub jaunts. Throughout lessons, instructors teach the foundations of two to four dances from a long list of styles that range from Latin to country-western, helping students to learn basic step patterns, timing, and the ability to lead or follow.

Green Planet Kids, tucked away in the independent shopping mecca of Newton Highlands, brings an old-fashioned sensibility to eco-friendly toys and nontoxic art supplies. Sunlight spills across the two-story confines, where personable service collides with fun, educational toys and hands-on art classes. Under the supervision of professional instructors, youngsters create a flurry of art projects in the form of paper-bead jewelry, watercolor paintings, and tissue-paper flowers, which are ideal for attracting tissue-paper hummingbirds.
Whether training one-on-one or leading small-group classes, the trainers at Vitality Personal Fitness Inc. give everyone individualized attention. A cap of eight students per class ensures close supervision as participants swing kettlebells, lift weights, and pull against TRX resistance bands during functional-training exercises. The practicality of these movements effectively enhances not only strength but also agility and balance—skills valued in numerous sports and physical activities.
The trainers' commitment to wellness expands beyond their clients to encompass the entire planet. Whenever possible, they ride their bikes to the eco-friendly building where they recycle, compost, and use a water-filtration system instead of plastic bottles or coal-powered drinking fountains. To encourage their clients to go green, they offer a $20 gift certificate to members who walk to the studio 10 times.

We are together for about a year and a half before we got caught by our teachers and were forced to break up. However we only faked the breakup and still texted each other daily. That happened in july. We are really serious about each other and even have thoughts on marrying each other in future. But recently, he started avoiding talking to me and all, claiming that he was busy or his phone had problems. Whenever i told him i love him, he just responds with a okay. He no longer take interest into the things i do.. And i feel like he's a stranger again, i dont know him anymore. Is he losing interest in me or am i just overreacting? Please tell me what to do.

Authorities were looking for a 48-year-old Peshtigo man as a "person of interest" in the investigation. He was taken into custody Sunday night.
The state Department of Justice say the man was in a relationship with the victim at the time of her death. The woman was identified Monday as 45-year-old Patricia Waschbisch of Peshtigo.
The Justice Department says investigators are treating her death as a homicide.
More information was expected to be released at a news conference Tuesday morning.

Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla.
During the early phases (phases 1 and 2), researchers assess safety, side effects, optimal dosages and risks/benefits. In the later phase (phase 3), researchers study whether the treatment works better than the current standard therapy. They also compare the safety of the new treatment with that of current treatments. Phase 3 trials include large numbers of people to make sure that the result is valid. There are also less common very early (phase 0) and later (phase 4) phases. Phase 0 trials are small trials that help researchers decide if a new agent should be tested in a phase 1 trial. Phase 4 trials look at long-term safety and effectiveness, after a new treatment has been approved and is on the market.
This is a phase 1, open-label, dose-escalation, multicenter study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of SGN-CD19A in adult and pediatric patients with relapsed or refractory B-lineage acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), Burkitt lymphoma or leukemia, or B-lineage lymphoblastic lymphoma (B-LBL).
Open for enrollment
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz.
This phase II pilot trial studies how well ruxolitinib phosphate and danazol work in treating anemia in patients with myelofibrosis. Ruxolitinib phosphate and danazol may cause the body to make more red blood cells. They are used to treat anemia in patients with myelofibrosis.
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Rochester, Minn.
Panobinostat may stop the growth of cancer cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. This phase II trial is studying how well panobinostat works in treating patients with relapsed or refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of patisiran (ALN-TTR02) in patients with transthyretin (TTR) mediated amyloidosis.
This study is being conducted to examine the safety and tolerability of SGN-LIV1A in patients with metastatic breast cancer, and to find the highest dose of the drug that can be given without unacceptable side effects. Other goals of the trial are to find out if SGN-LIV1A has any antitumor effects, to learn about the pharmacokinetics of SGN-LIV1A, and to explore the relationship between antigen expression and SGN-LIV1A effects.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety profile, characterize pharmacokinetics (PK) and determine the dosing schedule, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and recommended phase 2 dose (RPTD) of ABT-199 when administered in subjects with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma.
Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.
The primary objectives of this study are to assess the safety profile, characterize pharmacokinetics (PK) and determine the dosing schedule, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and the recommended phase two dose (RPTD) of ABT-199 when administered in subjects with relapsed /refactory multiple myeloma who are receiving bortezomib and dexamethasone as their standard therapy.
This pilot clinical trial studies scrambler therapy in treating pain and peripheral neuropathy in patients previously treated with chemotherapy. Scrambler therapy may help relieve pain from peripheral neuropathy caused by chemotherapy.
Scottsdale/Phoenix, Ariz., Jacksonville, Fla., Rochester, Minn.
This study will be done in 6 parts. In Part A the dose of intravenous (IV) pembrolizumab (MK-3475) will be escalated to find the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) and recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) for participants with a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of any type of carcinoma or melanoma (MEL). Part B of the study will explore the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the drug in participants with advanced or metastatic MEL and compare every 2 week to every 3 week dosing. Part C of the study will explore the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the drug in participants with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) that is locally advanced or metastatic. Part D of the study will explore the low and high doses of study drug identified in Parts A and B in participants with advanced or metastatic MEL. Part E (closed with Amendment 7) will explore low, medium, and high doses of study drug in combination with standard chemotherapy in participants with locally advanced or metastatic NSCLC. Part F will explore low and high doses of study drug in treatment-naive and previously-treated participants with NSCLC with programmed cell death 1 ligand (PD-L1) gene expression. In Parts D and F and some of Part B participants will be randomized to one dose level. The primary hypotheses are the following: that pembrolizumab has acceptable safety and tolerability; and that pembrolizumab shows a clinically meaningful response rate (RR) or disease-control rate (DCR) in participants with melanoma (ipilimumab-refractory or not), and a clinically meaningful RR in participants with NSCLC, especially a clinically meaningful RR in those participants with either cancer, whose tumors express PD-L1.

Whit is Link Runner virus ?
My laptop (very occasionally connects to the web) got a virus called link:Runner by avast freeware. I scanned with malwarebytes, too! Everything is scanned and deleted. Still, whenever a pendrive is attached to it, it gets such stuffs , instantly !
Few days ago, a professor came from outside to deliver some lectures. I took some useful documents from his laptop using a pendrive, and attached that back in the laptop, and the story started.
Is there any way to get rid of it, or I am to go for a clean install ?
|My System Specs
|25 Jan 2012
Hi, Arc.
It appears that autorun.inf has not been disabled on the pen drive. Two options are Panda USB Vaccine, or BitDefender's USB Immunizer which can be used to protect your computer from any infected USB device.
A similar tool is install dr_Bora's MCShield::Anti-Malware Tool::. This tool will block the autorun.inf, preventing any transferred infected files from automatically opening on your computer. It includes a signature scan.
You should also specifically scan the pen drive with your antivirus software.
|My System Specs
|25 Jan 2012
Corrine, after getting this one for the first time, I scanned the entire laptop with Avast free and MBAM, which killed all the infected files. Now the scans say that there is no threat in the laptop. Still, whenever and whatever pendrive connected to it, it generates these files in it automatically.
I full formatted a pen drive and reattached it there, got the same thing . When the same pendrive is connected to my desktop, everything is being killed automatically, and it appears to be totally free from anything.
I will use the vaccines those you have suggested, thanks a lot
But what to do with the source of the trouble, I mean the laptop ?
|My System Specs
|25 Jan 2012
Well, I just decided to do a fresh install there, as Carl said that it is a fun !
Just did the vaccination, after formatting it. Nothing is appearing there anymore Thanks again for it, Corrine !
|My System Specs
|25 Jan 2012
I'm glad you got the problem resolved. I'm thinking that since you were having the problem only on the laptop which is seldom connected to the Internet, it is possible it was behind on updates and did not have the KB that turned off autorun installed.
|My System Specs
|26 Jan 2012
I have reinstalled it already ..... and got all the updates there.
Asking one more question, if I connect a vaccinated pendrive to an affected computer (sometimes it becomes urgent and I dont know which one is affected or not) is it still risky to connect the pendrive back to my laptop ? I have installed Avast and MBAM there.
|My System Specs
|26 Jan 2012
In the event malware infects the pendrive, having autorun.inf disabled will prevent the malware from automatically running on your laptop. However, it is incumbent on you to scan any files you are transferring to ensure they are clean before opening them on your laptop.
|My System Specs
|26 Jan 2012
When attaching a drive, there is an option "scan and fix", but that time it went faster, the malware indication came faster than the scan and fix dialog !
As you are saying, I hope disabling autoruns will prevent malwares to open automatically
If it occurs once again, I will ask you again for suggestions . This is the first time such a thing happened to me.

It was difficult enough for junior Anna Walsh to play with dominance at her middle blocker position for Colleyville Heritage.So when Panthers coach Jamie Siegel decided to give Walsh more responsibility this season by keeping her on the floor for all six position rotations, neither had a real idea of how much it would impact the team.Walsh recorded 600 kills, 422 digs and served at 92 percent as the Panthers raced to a 42-7 record. For her performance, she is the Star-Telegram Super Team Player of the Year. "A lot of coaches won't even consider leaving a middle on the back row so it took a lot of guts for Coach Siegel to give me that chance," said Walsh, who plans to play at Virginia. "Just because middles are tall doesn't mean we can't do the ball control side of the game."Walsh is one of 12 players on the Super Team, selected by the Star-Telegram staff based on statistics, accomplishments and in consultation with coaches.Walsh said her season was fueled by confidence from last year, when the Panthers dispatched Southlake Carroll in the regional semifinals.But a loss the next day to Coppell in the regional final left a sour taste in Walsh's mouth.So when this year's playoff brackets were revealed, Walsh said she and her teammates eyed a potential rematch with defending Class 5A state champion Coppell in the regional quarterfinals."I'll take that day with me always, we were so excited," Walsh said. "We got absolutely no work done during school. None of us could concentrate and all we talked or thought about was the match that night against Coppell."Both teams didn't disappoint, staging a five-set thriller in which the Panthers exacted their revenge and advanced to the regional tournament.Carroll turned the tables on Heritage in the regional final, leaving another year to find a way to reach the state tournament."The program has come a long way," Walsh said. "We had a team this year with several great players. We just picked the worst day to play our worst game."Siegel said she knew Walsh could handle the extra workload because of her passion for the game."I have maybe coached one other middle that I can compare to Anna," Siegel said. "But there really isn't a comparison, because Anna just doesn't command the net, she's plays every position the way it should be played."Player of the Year Anna Walsh, Jr., Colleyville Heritage: Played all six rotations and rarely came off the floor for the Panthers. Committed to Virginia.First Team S Piyusha Boteju, Sr., Euless Trinity: A player with height that can play the outside, but needed this year to feed other hitters. Headed to Denver. OH Holly Milam, Sr., Burleson: Blistering .567 hitting percentage, 600 kills and 149 blocks OH Lauren Mills, Sr., Keller Timber Creek: The only repeat from the 2012 Super Team, Mills is committed to SMU. MB Timarie Nymeyer, Sr., Southlake Carroll: Coach Arthur Stanfield called her the Dragons' most consistent impact player. OH Christen Sikora, Sr., Southlake Carroll: Had 247 kills, 211 digs and a .977 serving percentage. Headed to Furman.Second Team S Ainise Havili, Sr., Haltom: Team started 6-0 then lost 13 straight without her. Committed to Kansas. OH Baylie Barnes, Sr., Saginaw Boswell: A dominant outside hitter who hit .323 for a team that ran the tables in district play. OH Aubrey Ezzell, Jr., Granbury: Had 250 kills, 140 aces and .367 kill percentage. OH Maddie Jones, Jr., Colleyville Heritage: Undersized, but fierce. Had 385 kills, second only to Walsh and played serious defense with 547 digs. OH Kailin Barnes, Jr., Mansfield Timberview: Has incredible athleticism and came on strong at the end of the season, helping the Timberwolves to the area round. MB Jacqueline Vernor, Sr., Arlington: Had 405 kills and 86 total blocks for a team that made it to the regional quarterfinals.

Methodist-related Groups Form Partnership to Address Haiti Crisis
by Elliott Wright
New York, NY, May 7, 2010 -- A coalition of Methodist and ecumenical church groups has formed a partnership with the Methodist Church of Haiti to address long-term development objectives in response to the crisis in Haiti. The initiative continues and expands work under discussion in Port-au-Prince on January 12, the very day an earthquake devastated much of the island nation.
Six broad priorities, proposed by the Methodist leadership in Haiti, were explored at a mission roundtable in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, on April 19-22. The six are education, reconstruction, health, development, evangelism, and Christian education.
Earthquake Intensified Needs
"The earthquake intensified the need for both short- and long-term action, but all of these areas of ministry existed before January 12," said the Rev. Jorge Domingues, deputy general secretary for Mission and Evangelism of the United Methodist General Board of Global Ministries, and a participant in the Santo Domingo meeting.
The projected work of the coalition is in addition to the general relief and rehabilitation work being done by the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR) and other Methodist-relief organizations.
Roundtable participants were from:
Global Ministries was represented by several units, including the United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR), Women's Division, Mission and Evangelism, and its subunit on Mission Volunteers.
Methodists Working Together
The four days in Santo Domingo were historic in bringing together so many groups that previously have pursued separate pathways in response to economic and social needs in Haiti. "The agenda was that of the Haitian church," said Cynthia Harvey, the director of UMCOR.
In separate interviews, Domingues and Harvey pointed to unprecedented proposals for collaboration in Haiti.
"The inter-Methodist and intra-board work that is coalescing around Haiti is a significant step in our mission strategy," said Thomas Kemper, the general secretary of Global Ministries who is a strong advocate of a "roundtable approach" in mission planning and implementation.
The Dominican Evangelical Church hosted the roundtable. "This was an important component of the meeting," said the Rev. Edgar Avitia. "These two churches are not often in contact, and this was an important occasion for them to begin to work together." Rev. Avitia, the secretary for Latin America and the Caribbean of Global Ministries, had spent a week in Haiti prior to the Santo Domingo roundtable.
Expanding Work
Some of the same persons who met in Santo Domingo were in Haiti last January 12 for talks with leaders of the Methodist Church in Haiti about possible development efforts. The Rev. James Gulley, a consultant who survived the earthquake, was the UMCOR continuing link.
Absent in April were the Rev. Sam Dixon, former head of UMCOR; the Rev. Clint Rabb, former director of the Office of Mission Volunteers at Global Ministries; and Haitian minister of agriculture Fritz Boutin--all three of whom were killed in the earthquake. They were remembered with appreciation during an opening service of worship.
"Worship played a significant role in our time in Santo Domingo," said Harriett Olson, deputy general secretary for the Women's Division of Global Ministries. "The worship leadership was broadly drawn from the partners and contributed a powerful sense of our theological as well as humanitarian motivations."
Pivotal in the four days of talks in Santo Domingo were the presentations made by the Haitian delegation, led by the Rev. Gesner Paul, president of that district, and other members of the Haitian delegation of lay professionals and three clergy.
Concerns of Women
The Rev. Maude Hyppolite described the feedback from women in the Haitian church about the needs in their communities. A survey of grassroots Methodist women in Haiti was initiated by a team of regional missionaries linked to Women's Division prior to the roundtable. On the eve of the meeting, 537 responses had been received, the preponderance of which favored family and community ministries over institutional considerations.
Several of the projects under the development rubric are geared specifically to challenges that daily face women in Haiti, according to Olson. These include access to clean water and food security.
The six priorities were listed on a large spreadsheet, and the various partners penciled in their initials on projects they are equipped to support through human, material, and monetary resources.
An important component in the partnership is a monitoring committee, with professional liaisons, organized by the church in Haiti. While funding for particular projects was discussed, budgets remain under consideration, and cost-sharing among the partners is explored.

Weiner and Jon Stewart, of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, were roommates after college; Stewart has contributed to Weiner's election campaigns and has hosted Weiner on his show. If this is correct, not only was Jon Stewart a post-college roommate of Anthony Weiner's, he's a contributor and supporter. No worries. After a short hiatus, America can rejoice in knowing that "The Daily Show" returns to the airwaves again and I, for one, can't imagine any of the above will get in the way of Stewart's role as America's New Murrow and much beloved political satirist. Confession: I've never watched an episode of the "Daily Show" before. My concern revolves around how the MSM uses Stewart's antics to further or create their own narratives. So, unless the media was amplifying his clips, I could care less. But not tonight, baby! The popcorn's popping and.... ...I'm readying myself for a steady barrage of clever Weiner jokes unlike the word has ever seen before. Oh, the faces Jon Stewart will make. *rubs hands together in childish anticipation* This is gunna be so awesome! *clenches fists, rolls head back, laughs maniacally* Right?

You've hit the jackpot with 12 out of 12 favorable months! The year starts off with a Tiger month, which will be one of your best, so you'll have to hit the ground running. Don't let this month slip by -- the time to act is now. And if you haven't yet planned out your big goals for the year, do it soon. There'll be opportunities every month. Of course, you don't have to take advantage of every single one -- you don't want to go overboard. Overall, be alert. Expect good stuff to happen. Above all, be open to possibilities. Change might not always be comfortable, but it's necessary to get where you want to go, especially since luck is with you.
The sky's the limit, and nowhere is this more true than in your career. Ready to rise to the top? Set yourself up in that corner office? Launch that new business? Honestly, whatever you set your mind to you can achieve. You and the Year of the Horse get along like two peas in a pod, and this energy can catapult you into new territory. What have you always wanted to accomplish? Where have you felt stuck and immobile in your career? What would make your work infinitely better? Dare to dream big. Deal with any self-limiting beliefs now. The time you've been waiting for has arrived. With your diplomatic nature, leadership skills and good sense, there's no telling what you might create. Ready, set, go!
Love can be so sweet, especially now. You've arrived at a good place, regardless of any setbacks you may have had last year. That va-va-va-voom feeling between you and a certain someone comes around just when you need it -- and it might sweep you off your feet. However, while there is the possibility of wild romance, overall you'll have a sense of harmony and synergy with the ones you love. Single? Stay tuned for an overwhelming, knock-you-off-your-feet type of encounter. Things are moving in that direction. You'll probably find that the loyalty and love you've been looking for in a partner has been right under your nose all along. One last thing: make more time for play this year. Even the most solid partnerships need a few giggles.
The great thing about this year is that you're filled with anticipation, and for good reason. So make sure you're in tip-top shape to make the most of all those wonderful things when they do come your way. Test your physical boundaries by picking up a new sport or hobby. Learn to make tasty vegan food. Explore naturopathy, acupuncture and herbs as medicine. The only real caveat is to keep an eye out for exhaustion and fatigue. It feels like your life is moving at the speed of light, and if you're not careful, you might end up feeling depleted. Make sure that you're taking good care of yourself, dealing with stress appropriately and getting enough sleep. There's nowhere to go but up.
You want to prove to yourself that money is no object -- and maybe it isn't. But in actuality, you have little to prove this year. In fact, if you can just chill out, let the money flow in, and trust that you'll have more when you need it, the results might surprise you. It really is time to trust your intuition when it comes to property, business ventures, career moves and loaning or borrowing money. Plus, luck is on your side when it comes to big financial goals. You can really go places this year. What you do with any cash windfalls is up to you. But make sure you put something into your savings, just to be on the safe side. And if you can work with someone who also has good money sense, your chances of winning become exponentially greater.

Labor And DWI? Local Woman Goes Into Labor During Court Appearance For DWI
(CBS Charlotte) — A pregnant Gastonia woman went into labor while awaiting a court appearance on a driving while impaired charge.
Yesterday, Mandy Bradley was seen leaving court on a stretcher, definitely not how she arrived.
While waiting for her case to be called, Bradley's water broke outside the main courtroom.
Bradley was summoned to court due to a DWI charge stemming from a traffic stop back in September of 2013, a charge that she received while pregnant.
At the time, officers also charged her with possessing heroin.
Bradley has another pending DWI on her record as well.

Great restaurant on Rush St?
We're headed to Chicago this weekend for a wedding and only have one night for dinner out. We're staying in River North, but it's been suggested to us that we want to hang out on Rush St. I've been told that Carmines, Tavern on Rush and Hugo's Frog Bar are the restaurants we should look closely at. Any other recommendations? Ideally we'd like something fun, with really good food that isn't super pricey (which I know the above choices are). We live in Denver and definitely love good food, but it's also a rare night out without our child so we'd like to have some fun.
Any ideas? (We don't have to be on Rush St, but we'd like to stay in the area, we have to meet people in the west loop after dinner and are staying in river north)
Are you over 60? If male, are you partial to hairpieces? If so, Carmines and Tavern on Rush are ideal.
Your choices don't excite me either, although Hugo's is pretty good . . . let's start with the type of food you like and the price range you're looking for. And what do you mean by fun? The place you list would all be loud . . . are you basically looking for a vibrant atmosphere. I'm also curious who has sent you to Rush St. for a night out. Rush St. is great for out-of-town twenty-somethings . . . lots of bars. But if you're in River North, that's where you'll find better dining and more interesting, hip bars.
If you want Italian, Cafe Spiaggia and Merlo on Maple are so much better than Carmine's, but probably more subdued.
For seafood, Joe's Prime Steak, Seafood and Stone Crab is much better than Hugo's.
David Burke's is the best around for steak, but also has some great seafood options.
For something a bit more exotic and vibrant, Vermilion for Indian-Latin fusion. Graham Elliot is very creative, American comfort food.
The newly opened Sunda might fit your desire for style - not sure about how good the food is (Asian by the way). Hub 51 - American, fun atmosphere, ok food.
Oh my. I think your friends have steered you horribly wrong. No one with respectable hygine or self esteem hangs out at any of the Rush Street bars.
I have to echo others in that the whole Gibson's, Hugo's, Carmines, Tavern on Rush scene is really aimed at middle aged divorcees and business travelers trolling for "company". There is faaaaarrrrr better food, w/out the above scene, a short cab ride away.
Lots of great places in West Loop: Blackbird, Avec, Sepia, just off the top of my head.
re: chicagowinediva
A few more to look at around the West Loop: Follia, Publican, La Sardine, Moto. Here's the equation. Rush Street = Viagra/conventioneer crowd; West Loop = casual-$$/$$$-foodies.
For "great food" near Rush St. that is not "super pricey" you might consider Cafe des Architectes in the Sofitel Hotel. http://www.cafedesarchitectes.com/hap...
If this is not the type of food that you had in mind, or if the prices are still too steep, then you should provide a little more guidance on the type of food and price points that you are thinking of.
You guys are cracking me up!! Thank you for being honest, I was kind of picturing what you're saying and I'm glad I asked!
I talked to my husband about his thoughts last night and he'd like to eat "ethnic" but wouldn't get more specific (basically doesn't want steak, american or bistro food). My brother sent me to Rush St and he is in his 20s and not married, though spends most of his time schmoozing clients for his job. Maybe that explains it?
It's our first weekend out of town without our daughter so we really want something that has a fun, laid back atmosphere and really good food. We don't want to spend a ton, but dinner for around $100 is good(is that possible? keep in mind I'm from Denver). Vermilion sounds like it could be a good option, I'll check their menu. I like "exotic and vibrant" :)
If we're choosing neighborhoods would we rather be in River North or the West Loop?
re: ijack
Generally speaking, River North . . . the West Loop has a large stretch of restaurants, mostly along Randolph St., but River North has greater entertainment options - hotels, restaurants, bars, movie theaters, Michigan Avenue, etc. Now if you're talking restaurants, there are more restaurants I prefer in the River West and Randolph St. area, but there's plenty good to eat in both locations.
For ethnic, I highly recommend Vermilion. Sunda is nearby but I can't really comment since I haven't tried it. Two places I would avoid are VTK (Thai generally) and Red Light. VTK is really watered down Thai food at high prices. I find Red Light to offer overly sweetened dishes, despite a very talented chef in the kitchen.
There is a little park across from Carmine's that is known locally as Viagra Triangle because it's always full of older guys with expense accounts and aspirations, looking for new friends. That might sort of give you a feel for Rush, which tends to be touristy and rip-off-ish. Our old reliable (delicious Pan-Asian food, cheery atmosphere, very reasonable) is Big Bowl (Cedar just east of Rush). Not fancy, but this is where we take out-of-town friends and relations when they come and everybody likes it. You can see their menu (and everybody else's) by going to "chicago restaurant menus". Look under neighborhood "Gold Coast".
re: Querencia
We ended up eating at Vermilion and the food was outstanding! The ambiance however was pretty dull and our waiter was an ass, but at least we had great food :)
re: ijack
Glad you liked the food. Too bad about the service. Interestingly, it's funny you say the ambiance was dull. They used to have a dj booth and pumped loud music throughout the restaurant, and later in the evening it was almost a club atmosphere. Now they have gotten rid of the dj booth, and maybe toned it down too much. Perhaps something in between would be good?
But I've always been impressed with the food, and actually, I've always singled them out for great service but we all know that all it takes is one bad waiter/waitress/host to ruin an experience. Thanks for reporting back.
