Building A Business Case For Unified Communications
The hype surrounding any emerging technology often shrouds the private sector with mixed feelings, as decision-makers try to decipher whether new offerings will enhance operations, hinder productivity or introduce some bizarre mixture of the two.
Instant Cashflow Improvement and Rapid ROI with Unified Communications
The up-and-down economy of the past several years has highlighted the need to operate more effi ciently and cut costs wherever possible. In most situations, these two notions would seem contradictory, but a number of emerging technologies - cloud computing, virtualization and the bring-your-own-device movement among them - are helping companies accomplish these goals.
The Top Four Pitfalls of Unified Communications
Today's enterprise needs to be agile if decision-makers wish to remain competitive and relevant in the eyes of consumers. As more companies and customers around the world begin leveraging innovative devices like smartphones, tablets and next-generation laptops, the need to deploy unified communications grows alongside it. Neglecting to implement the technology may result in dire consequences that could spell the end of an organization.

Oblivion is a technical triumph rather than a philosophical breakthrough, demonstrating how beautifully digital effects can be blended with real people and real sets, demonstrating that neither Tom Cruise nor the 1970s will ever die, and announcing the unexpected arrival of a major science-fiction director.
Apr 17, 2013Oblivion is a terrific-looking movie, alternating spare, sterile environments with homey organic ones, and making both look tremendously pretty. Kosinski also handles his action well, with cut-and-dried clarity and edge-of-seat energy.
It is overlong, and familiar, and never quite hits top gear -- it's never especially bad, but neither is it especially excellent, beyond the visual wow factor. But there's still a lot to admire in the film, not least that it's engaging from the first moment to the last.
Kosinski has again built a fantasy world that feels real to its core, but once more put most effort into the scenery and too little into the people.
In space, Jack hopes, someone may hear you dream. But in a movie theater, no one will see you yawn.
Oscar-winners Morgan Freeman and Melissa Leo turn up in cameo roles anyone could have played. Kosinski was smart to limit their screen time, because it's awkward to have actors with weight and charisma hanging around those who lack both.
Apr 18, 2013Absent of any sense of self-awareness, Oblivion seems only self-serious, a ponderous mess both misguided and unaware.
Score distribution:
Positive: 192 out of 272
Mixed: 47 out of 272
Negative: 33 out of 272
Apr 20, 2013While the movie seems like a mixture of several different science fiction films, it is not fair to say it is unoriginal but it is more of a respectful throw back to the science fiction films of the 1970s. It has some spectacular action, some great concepts, and always beautiful imagery. It's not only worth checking out, its worth seeing, telling your friends about it and then seeing it again!… Expand
Apr 20, 2013This movie was very solid all around. I think the writers did a fantastic job with the plot by generating a very engaging story which makes you care about the characters. The story has a few twists and definitely will make you think a little. Furthermore, the special effects are all great with just the right amount of action and I think Cruise is very believable. In the end there really isn't much to complain about. If you are looking for a movie with a really awesome story and great effects I highly suggest this one.… Expand
May 25, 2014A surprisingly decent Sci-Fi film nothing special but good enough for me to at least watch it unlike "After Earth". I'm really not a fan of Tom Cruise the only movies of his that iv'e actually watched and liked in the past 10 years was Mission: Impossible Ghost Protocol. Well he barely in Tropic Thunder though when he was he was super funny so it was cool to see him in another decent film that i liked. Some fantastic use of CGI everything was top notch and didn't look overly fake.
Story wasn't really that great and it seemed like half way through the movie they decided to throw in multiple sci-fi movie cliches and it just didn't all come together right. Morgan Freeman was barley in this and when he was it still wasn't anything special sure there at the end he has some great scenes but it just wasn't enough.
Overall i give a 6.5 definitely thought this could have been better but for a Tom Cruise movie it really wasn't that bad and worth a watch if you like sci-fi.… Expand
Mar 12, 2014This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This was the worst movie I've ever seen. The only reason I saw this movie was because I saw that Morgan Freeman was in it and I was like "Hey Morgan Freeman's in it it couldn't possibly suck really bad" yet it definitely did. My main (emphasis on "main" meaning definitely not limited to) problem with this disgrace of-a-movie is that it makes no sense. I don't know if one can message me on Meta critic but if you can could someone please attempt to explain this movie to me. This is me at the movie:
So there's a guy and he's like a clone i guess? Wait what? Who? How? When? Where? I went to the movie with my mom and it took our brainpower together about 2 days to sort of figure out what this movie was about.… Expand

Indians Lose the Game and Sole Claim to First Place
boxscore (photos by NancyZ)
The Indianapolis Indians and the Toledo Mud Hens played another see-sawing game tonight, with the score tied for quite a bit of the game. Unfortunately for the Indians, the game ended with a different kind of tie. The Mud Hens won by a score of 4-3 with a walk-off homer in the bottom of the 9th, moving them into a tie with the Indians for first place in the International League West Division.
A suicide squeeze play produced the first run of the game. Toledo's starter, Corey Hamman had retired the first six Tribe batters without much trouble in the first two innings. In the top of the 3rd inning, RF Michael Ryan led off with a double into center field. C Einar Diaz's pop out moved Ryan to third base. Then LF Matt Kata (photo) put down a suicide squeeze bunt toward first base, allowing Ryan to score.
That was all the scoring there was until the bottom of the 6th inning. Corey Hamman allowed the Indians only 4 hits plus one walk and one hit batter (Don Kelly) over 6 innings, throwing 87 pitches (52 strikes), while striking out 4 batters. The run scored on the suicide squeeze was the only run he allowed.
Meanwhile, Indians' starter Sean Burnett (photo) had an excellent start, his second start since coming off the disabled list. He pitched 4.1 innings, with 74 pitches (46 strikes). He allowed 6 hits and one walk, and struck out 2 while keeping the Mud Hens scoreless. Matt Corey entered the game in the fifth inning, with Toledo's 3B Jack Hannahan on base after a single, and one out. Corey quickly got C Dane Sardinha to ground into a double play to end the inning.
In the bottom of the 6th, with Mark Corey still pitching, SS Ramon Santiago and 2B Kevin Hooper each singled to start the inning, putting runners on the corners. RF Timo Perez grounded a ball to Tribe 2B Brian Bixler, forcing Hooper out at second base. The relay from SS Don Kelly, covering second base, to 1B Yurendell de Caster was wide, though. Santiago was easily able to score on the play, tying up the score. The inning ended when CF Ryan Raburn grounded to Kelly, who started a successful double play.
Toledo reliever Anastacio Martinez came in to pitch in the top of the 7th inning, and he promptly retired the Tribe batters in order. The bottom of the 7th inning got scary for a moment, when 3B Mike Hessman hit a long high fly ball down the left field line…. which flew out just to the outside of the foul pole, and continued into the parking lot and into the street beyond — fortunately for the Indians, just a very very long strike. Mark Corey got Hessman to look at strike three, and then induced a ground out to end the inning.
The Indians threatened in the 8th inning. Mike Ryan led off with his second hit of the game, and C Einar Diaz (photo) followed by being hit on the back by a pitch. Don Kelly put down a sacrifice bunt to move the runners over, and Matt Kata took the intentional walk to load the bases. But Hens' reliever Martinez struck out Brian Bixler and Yurendell de Caster to end the inning with the bases loaded and no runs scored.
Mark Corey pitched 2.2 innings for the Tribe, giving up one run on two hits, while striking out one. He was relieved by Josh Sharpless, who started the 8th inning, with the score still tied. With one out, C Dane Sardinha and SS Ramon Santiago hit back-to-back singles. A wild pitch from Corey allowed both runners to advance to third and second bases. With the infield drawn in, Kevin Hooper bounced a grounder over the head of Tribe 3B Russ Johnson and into left field, scoring both base runners, and giving the Mud Hens a 3-1 lead. Hooper tried to steal second base but was thrown out by Tribe C Einar Diaz for the second out, and LF Timo Perez grounded out to end the inning.
The Indians were not going down without a fight, though. The Mud Hens brought in Vic Darensbourg to relieve Martinez in the top of the 9th inning. With one out, Russ Johnson (photo) singled and Luis Matos doubled, putting runners on third and second bases. Michael Ryan came through with his third hit of the game, a single through the hole into right field, to score both Johnson and Matos and tie the score at 3 runs each. With Einar Diaz at the plate, Michael Ryan was thrown out trying to steal third base. Diaz then put down the fourth hit in a row, a double into left field, keeping the inning going. Don Kelly flied out to end the inning, but the Indians had tied the game again.
Unfortunately, that tie didn't last long. With one out in the bottom of the 9th inning, former Pirates' farmhand Chris Shelton lifted a long fly ball over the wall in mid-center field for a game-winning walk off solo home run. Tribe reliever Josh Sharpless gave up the homer for the loss, his second this season. He gave up a total of 3 runs on 4 hits with one strikeout in 1.1 innings. Vic Darensbourg got the blown save and then the win for the Mud Hens.
The Mud Hens had 12 hits in the game, and all but Shelton's homer were singles. Toledo's Ramon Santiago had 4 of those singles. The Tribe put up 9 hits, including doubles by Michael Ryan, Luis Matos, and Einar Diaz. Ryan went 3 for 4 with 2 RBI, and Russ Johnson went 2 for 4. Don Kelly, in his first start with the Indians (he pinch ran yesterday), went to the plate 4 times: he sacrificed twice and was hit by a pitch once. That gave him only one official at-bat, which was a fly out.
Indians' hitting gem of the game: Michael Ryan (photo) had three hits, including the double that started off the Tribe's rally in the 3rd inning, and then scoring on the suicide squeeze bunt by Don Kelly. Ryan also singled in the rallies in the 8th and 9th innings. "I feel real good at the plate right now", said Ryan after the game. "I've been swinging at strikes, and laying off bad pitches. I've also been staying back and trusting my hands." Ryan is now 10 for 17 in his last 4 games.
Indians' defensive gem of the game: The Indians turned 4 double plays. Three of them were "traditional" infield DP's — two were Don Kelly to Brian Bixler to Yurendell de Caster (6-4-3) and one was Bixler to Kelly to de Caster (4-6-3); one was with an outfield out: Michael Ryan caught a fly ball hit by Ryan Raburn to short right field, and threw in to the infield. Ramon Santiago did not initially try to tag up and score from third since the fly ball was short, but when the throw bounced off Einar Diaz's glove, Santiago took off for home plate. Sean Burnett was in position to back up Diaz, though. Burnett caught the ball and tossed it to Diaz, who tagged out Santiago at the plate (9-2-1-2).
Roster moves:
When the Pittsburgh Pirates added Josh Phelps, who they picked up from the Yankees on waivers, they needed to take someone else off the active roster. That someone turned out to be Brad Eldred — who had just been called up and placed on the active roster. Both Phelps and Eldred are first basemen/outfielders, and it was unlikely that both would have been kept on the roster. Eldred was with the Pirates for one day. He was the designated hitter in yesterday's game, and went 0 for 4 (a pop out to shortstop, fly outs to right and center field, and ground out to second). Eldred flew from Indy to Anaheim, where the Pirates were playing, on Friday, played Friday night, and will fly to Toledo to join the Indians tomorrow.
Go Tribe!
Game #74 at Los Angeles
Angel Stadium | 9:05 | Snell vs. Kelvim Escobar | Box Four in a row. Ian Snell got destroyed; I didn't watch much of the game, so I can't tell if his blister might've led to a lack of control. He allowed 13 baserunners and 5 runs in 6 innings, by far his worst outing of the year. Tony Armas was sent in to mop things up. In his two innings, five more Angels crossed home plate. Ryan Doumit is 0 for his last 15....
Indians Fall to Mud Hens in 11 Innings
boxscore (Photos by NancyZ)
The Indianapolis Indians battled back every step of the way tonight, tying and re-tying the score, but they couldn't hang on in the bottom of the 11th, and the Toledo Mud Hens won in walk-off fashion, by a score of 6-5, at Fifth Third Field in Toledo, Ohio. The win by the Mud Hens keeps them in second place in the International League West Division, but now they are only one game behind the Indians in the standings.
The Indians jumped off to a good start in the first inning against Toledo starter Jonathan Connolly. LF Matt Kata doubled into left field to open the inning. SS Brian Bixler, playing before friends and family just 30 miles from his hometown of Sandusky, Ohio, followed with a walk. 1B Yurendell de Caster's (photo) RBI single brought in Kata with the game's first run, and sent Bixler to second base. C Humberto Cota grounded into a double play, and 3B Jose Hernandez struck out to end the inning with Bixler left standing at third base.
Toledo came right back in the bottom of the inning to tie up the score, when SS Ramon Santiago led off with a home run to right field. Indians' starter John Wasdin (photo below) gave up a single to 2B Kevin Hooper, but then got the next three batters out, two with strikeouts, to end the inning. Wasdin also struck out two of the three batters he faced in the second inning.
The Mud Hens added more runs in the 4th inning. Wasdin got the first two batters out, then gave up a double to 3B Mike Hessman. DH Jack Hannahan lifted a blast over the right-center field walk, for a 2-run home run.
The Indians rallied again in the 6th inning. 2B Luis Ordaz led off with a double down the left field line. Matt Kata laid down a sacrifice bunt to the left side of the pitcher's mound, which Connolly fielded cleanly, but threw wide of first base. Ordaz scored easily as the ball sailed into the bullpen, and Kata reached second base on the error. That chased Connolly from the game, and brought in Preston Larrison to pitch for the Mud Hens. Larrison was able to ignore Kata perched on second base, and quickly retired the next three batters to end the Tribe's rally.
The top of the 7th inning brought another rally from the Indians. With one out, DH Russ Johnson (photo) smacked a single into right field. CF Luis Matos laid down a perfect bunt that hugged the edge of the infield grass and declined to go foul, as the Mud Hens' 3B Hessman hoped it would. Matos was safe at first and Johnson moved to second base. RF Michael Ryan doubled into right field to score Johnson and tie the game. 2B Luis Ordaz flied out, and LF Matt Kata walked to load the bases. SS Brian Bixler grounded out to end the inning with the bases loaded.
The score didn't stay tied for long. Hens' DH Jack Hannahan started the bottom of the 7th by lifting another bomb over the right field wall for his second home run of the game.
But then, the Hens didn't stay ahead for long, either. The Tribe tied it up again in the top of the 8th. Yurendell de Caster greeted Hens' reliever Jeremy Johnson by lining a single into right field. Humberto Cota lined out, and Jose Hernandez also singled to right field, moving de Caster to third base. Russ Johnson grounded a ball that bounced off 3B Mike Hessman's glove and was fielded by SS Ramon Santiago who threw to second for the fielder's choice. It did allow de Caster to score, though, to tie the score.
John Wasdin pitched a scoreless 8th inning, allowing a double by LF Timo Perez, but stranding him on base. Wasdin was finished after the 8th inning, having given up 4 runs on 8 hits, with no walks and 9 strikeouts. Reliever Jesse Chavez (photo) came in for the 9th inning. He allowed a hit by former Pirate farm-hand 1B Chris Shelton, then got Hessman to line out and Hannahan to fly out, before Chavez and Cota caught Shelton trying to steal second. That ended the inning, and sent the game into extra innings.
The tenth inning was scoreless for both teams. In the top of the 11th, with one out, the Indians had three straight hits. CF Luis Matos (photo) and RF Michael Ryan hit back-to-back singles, and Luis Ordaz followed with an RBI double, scoring Matos from third base to give the Indians the lead for the first time in the game. Don Kelly, just placed on the Tribe roster today, went in to pinch-run for Ryan at third base. Matt Kata was intentionally walked, but then Brian Bixler and Yurendell de Caster both struck out to end the inning.
Don Kelly stayed in the game in the bottom of the inning, replacing Ryan in right field, and Franquelis Osoria came in to relieve Jesse Chavez. Chavez had pitched two scoreless innings, giving up 2 harmless hits. Osoria gave up back-to-back singles to LF Timo Perez and CF Ryan Raburn. Chris Shelton hit a sacrifice bunt, which moved the runners to second and third bases. Mike Hessman then slapped a single into left field, allowing Perez and Raburn to score the tying and go-ahead runs, for the walk-off win. Osoria was given the blown save and the loss. The win went to Hens' reliever Aquilino Lopez, who pitched the last 1.1 innings for the Hens, giving up one run on 3 hits, with one walk and 3 strikeouts.
The Indians had a total of 12 hits in the game, and all the starters but one had at least one hit. Four Indians had two hits: Yurendell de Caster, Luis Matos, Michael Ryan, and Luis Ordaz.
Indians' hitting gem of the game: Luis Ordaz's RBI double in the top of the 11th, which knocked in the go-ahead run for the Indians.
Indians' defensive gem of the game: The Luises' double play in the bottom of the 8th, which ended a Mud Hens' rally. Timo Perez had doubled and was off and running when Ryan Raburn lined into center field, clearly expecting to score the go-ahead run. But Luis Matos made a running catch of the line drive, and then threw to Luis Ordaz at second base to double up Perez for the third out.
Roster moves:
The Pirates recalled Brad Eldred (photo) after last night's game. He has played in 23 games with the Indians, dividing his time between first base, right field, and designated hitter duties. Eldred has a .205 average with one double, 6 homers, 14 RBI's, 5 walks, and 31 strikeouts.
INF Don Kelly, who accepted assignment to the Indians, joined the team today, and entered tonight's game as a pinch runner.
RHP Dan Kolb was designated for assignment by the Pirates yesterday. They now have 10 days to trade or release him, or see if another team will take him on waivers. If he is not claimed on waivers, then Kolb can either become a free agent or accept assignment to come back to Indianapolis. Kolb has been with the Pirates for 12 days since being recalled from Indianapolis, and he has not pitched well in three appearances.
The Pirates have signed C/1B Josh Phelps off waivers from the NY Yankees. He is expected to be added to the Pirates roster by tomorrow, and join the Pirates in Anaheim. That will mean that someone else has to come off the roster — Brad Eldred again? another reliever? Expect more roster moves probably tomorrow. It would seem cruel to call Eldred up just to send him back down a day later.
Game #73 at Los Angeles

Nassau County heads back to school
Updated On: Aug 06 2014 12:34:34 PM EDT
Nassau County students will be heading back to school Wednesday morning.
Around 7:45 a.m. school will be starting for the little ones in elementary school, and around 9 a.m. for middle and high school students.
Between checking the weather, packing your child's lunch and making sure they don't forget their new backpack, the first day of school can be just as busy for parents as it is students returning. That's why the Nassau County Sheriff's Office and the transportation department are both offering some friendly reminders.
"If kids are walking to school, it's better for them to have side walks and make sure they stay on them and only cross in cross walks or where there's a school crossing guard," said Sheriff Bill Leeper.
Nassau County Sheriff Bill Leeper said the first day back to school is an exciting day, and he also wants it to stay safe. Be extra careful when you hit the road Wednesday, kids of all ages will be walking, biking and crossing. Sheriff Leeper wants to remind drivers, speeding in a school zone is the worst thing you can do.
"If you're speeding in a school zone, the fines are doubled so you could wind up paying $200 or $300 for a speeding ticket... It's for the safety of the kids so be careful don't drive distracted, pay attention to what you're doing," said Leeper.
The Sheriff's Office has been preparing for back to school all summer and so has the transportation department for Nassau County schools. 90 school buses have been undergoing maintenance and checkups, and bus drivers have also continued their education.
They go through 40 hours of training before even hitting the road. Bus drivers study school bus safety, student discipline and other appropriate matters, and each and every one is background checked as well as drug tested before starting the job.
Director of transportation, David Buchanan, said school bus drivers have tough jobs, but understand the importance of their role. He hopes parents can help with keeping kids safe so the school year gets off to a great start.
"Stay away from the traffic; we like for them to stand 10 feet off the road as the school bus approaches, then wait on the drivers signal, then let them cross and the driver will make sure no traffic is coming," said Buchanan.
About 6,500 students will be heading back to school on 90 buses in Nassau County.
First they will take care of the elementary school students then they will double run for the students in middle and high school.

MINSK, Belarus - Ukraine, Russia and the Kremlin-backed separatists signed a cease-fire deal Friday after five months of bloodshed, and Europe readied additional sanctions on Moscow. NATO leaders created a new force designed to prevent any aggression by Russia against alliance members.
Gunfire and shelling appeared to fall silent across eastern Ukraine shortly after the appointed hour, to the relief of war-weary residents. But the U.S. voiced skepticism that the rebels and Russia would stop violating Ukrainian sovereignty.
Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko said he ordered his forces to halt hostilities at 6 p.m. (11 a.m. EDT) after the deal was signed in Minsk, the Belarusian capital, by all three sides and a representative of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. Separatist leaders also said they ordered their forces to hold their fire.
Poroshenko said the cease-fire was based on an agreement reached during a "long conversation" with Russian President Vladimir Putin and would be watched over by international monitors from the OSCE.
The negotiators also agreed on the withdrawal of all heavy weaponry, the release of all prisoners and the delivery of humanitarian aid to devastated cities in eastern Ukraine, Heidi Tagliavini of the OSCE told reporters in Minsk.
Mikhail Zurabov, the Russian ambassador to Ukraine who also signed the deal, described the exchange of lists of more than 1,000 prisoners from each side as a "breakthrough." Poroshenko said a prisoner exchange could begin as early as Saturday.
Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said the Kremlin welcomes the signing and hopes that all sides will fulfil the agreements and continue the negotiation process "for the full settlement of the crisis in Ukraine," the Interfax news agency reported.
U.S. President Barack Obama said he was hopeful the cease-fire would hold but skeptical that the rebels would follow through and that Russia would stop violating Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity.
"It has to be tested," Obama said at the close of a two-day NATO summit in Wales.
Noting that the U.S. and Europe were finalizing even tougher sanctions on Moscow, Obama said the most effective way to ensure the cease-fire's success was to move ahead with those measures in hopes of keeping up the pressure on Russia.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel said "if certain processes get underway, we are prepared to suspend sanctions" against Russia. "We have to see whether this cease-fire is being applied. Do Russian troops withdraw, so far as they're there?" she said.
Keeping the pressure on Moscow, European Union ambassadors gave preliminary approval Friday night to new Ukraine-related sanctions on Russia involving access to capital markets and trade in arms and defence technology, dual-use goods and sensitive technologies, an EU diplomat said. More people will also be added to the trade bloc's entry ban and asset freeze, said the diplomat, who spoke on condition of anonymity because she was not authorized to make public statements on the issue. Final approval is expected Monday, with the new measures likely taking effect Tuesday, the diplomat said.
Leonid Kuchma, a former Ukrainian president who signed the deal, said there was "a genuine desire" for peace. But even though Poroshenko and the separatist leaders have ordered their forces to stop fighting, "it doesn't mean that someone will not fire from behind the corner," he said.
Kuchma said they will set up a task force by Monday to organize not only the exchange of prisoners and delivery of humanitarian aid, but also to establish how the rebellious eastern regions of Ukraine will be governed.
Poroshenko said Ukraine was ready to decentralize power to allow the Donetsk and Luhansk regions to have greater economic freedom and the right to use the Russian language.
The talks revealed divisions and uncertainty in the rebel ranks.
Alexander Zakharchenko, the separatist leader from the Donetsk region, said he was "very pleased and happy that we managed to take the first steps to change the military situation into a political discussion."
His counterpart from the Luhansk region, Igor Plotnitsky, was less enthusiastic. While saying the talks showed that "we can deal with Kyiv," he described the conflict as between "one people divided by ideology." Plotnitsky said the Luhansk separatists had to agree to the cease-fire to save lives, but he warned that they had not abandoned their "course for secession."
Ukraine, NATO and Western nations have accused Russia of backing the separatists with weapons, supplies and thousands of regular troops. Moscow has denied this, but a NATO military officer told The Associated Press that the number of Russian soldiers directly involved in the conflict has grown past the alliance's earlier estimate of at least 1,000.
U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon welcomed the truce agreement and encouraged the contacts between Poroshenko and Putin to continue, his spokesman said. Ban stressed that "credible and comprehensive monitoring and verification are essential" to the success of the cease-fire and peace plan.
Since the fighting began in the east in mid-April, nearly 2,600 people have been killed and hundreds of thousands have fled their homes, according to U.N. estimates.
NATO leaders at the summit also approved plans to create a rapid response force to counter Russian aggression, with a headquarters in Eastern Europe that could quickly mobilize if an alliance country were to come under attack. Ukraine is not a NATO member, but the entire alliance has been alarmed by Russia's actions in Ukraine, and Russia is under both U.S. and EU sanctions for its support of the rebels.
"It sends a clear message to any potential aggressor: Should you even think of attacking one ally, you will be facing the whole alliance," NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said.
In Mariupol, the southern port city that was widely feared to be the rebels' next target, residents expressed relief at the cease-fire.
Just hours after blasts resounded on the outskirts, 55-year-old Nikolai Mesyats was fishing off a city pier. "I am only for peace," he said. "How many people must die on both sides? God, these young people are dying. Brother is fighting against brother. That's not right."
A rebel offensive in southeastern Ukraine in the last two weeks has turned the tide of the war against Ukrainian forces, who until recently had appeared close to crushing the rebellion.
On Friday morning, AP reporters heard heavy shelling north and east of Mariupol. The city of 500,000 people lies on the Sea of Azov, between Russia and the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed in March. The shelling appeared to indicate that rebels had partially surrounded the area.
Seizing Mariupol would give the rebels a strong foothold on the coast and raise the threat that they could carve out a land corridor between Russia and Crimea.
But as the cease-fire went into effect, AP reporters heard no shelling in Mariupol for several hours, and several Ukrainian tanks returned to the city.
On the eastern road out of Mariupol, where volunteer fighters have been standing guard for days after rebel forces took over the border town of Novoazovsk, the mood ranged from resignation to disappointment.
Dimitro Khreschinsky, a leader of the Jesus Christ unit in the pro-Kyiv volunteer Shakhtarsk Battalion, said that although he didn't agree with the decision to lay down arms, his fellow fighters would abide by it. He didn't believe the rebels would, though.
"The last cease-fire led to an intensification of fire from their side and an increase in casualties on our side," Khreschinsky said. "I think the same thing will happen now."
In Donetsk, the largest rebel-held city, some shelling was heard after the truce was declared, but the guns appeared to have gone silent within an hour.
Many greeted the tentative peace with relief, although tensions remain high.
"It has to be. There is no other way," said Alexander Ivanov, 67.

In the midst of the recent recruiting success at Virginia Tech, it is becoming evident that the Hokies will be back on top soon, and this is one young man who strives to be at the center of it all. In this edition of Up Close, I had a chance to talk to the talented and soft-spoken signal caller whose future is sure to be as successful as his past. As a hot prospect who recently ended recruitment, he was able to share some valuable insight on his personal experience during recruiting, and also some perspective into what is going on as he prepares to enter Virginia Tech.
VTinsider: What are you doing to prepare for summer practice? (slated to begin August 10)
Sean: I've been following the training program the coaches sent me pretty closely. I've also worked a lot with Eddie (Royal) and we have a personal trainer who works us out. He's Nate Daniels who is the brother of current Hokie safety Mike Daniels.
VTinsider: What is your main goal as you get ready to enter your career at Virginia Tech?
Sean: Well, I want to become the starter first and foremost. I want to be able to get on the field and play.
VTinsider: What have the coaches said to you about possibly being redshirted?
Sean: That's been the plan all along. Just recently I talked to Coach Rogers and he said he still wanted to redshirt me, but he doesn't know right now because of circumstances. It kind of depends on the situation with Vick. If vick's suspended there's a possibility of me being the backup, but it all depends on what happens.
VTinsider: Since it appears that might be the route you are going to take, what are your personal feelings about being redshirted?
Sean: If you look at the big picture, being redshirted would be the better thing for my developement. Give me a year in the system to learn and everything and also to distance me and Vick in terms of class. But of course, like most players I'm looking right now to wanting to play. But overall I'm sure redshirting is the best pick and I'm happy with that.
VTinsider: So tell me, are you as excited as everyone else about playing in the new ACC?
Sean: Oh yeah. That was also a big factor during my recruitment. I've always wanted to play in the ACC. That was one thing holding me back from Tech at first, but once I found out Tech and Miami were moving to the ACC that really put Tech up on high.
VTinsider: What schools are you looking forward to going up against the most? Maybe not just in conference, but any team Tech has a chance of facing in the future.
Sean: No one in particular really. Every year I think it'll be fun to play a powerhouse like this year with USC. I'm hoping we can play one team like that every year. Other than that, every team is the same and I just want to win.
VTinsider: Do you do a lot of scouting on other teams, like potential VT opponents?
Sean: I don't really have any film yet to watch or break down defenses, but me and Eddie both follow recruiting and see who is going where, not just who'll be with us at Tech but on the other teams we'll face as well.
VTinsider: Let's talk a little more recruiting. Which coach stayed on you the most during the recruiting process?
Sean: Well, I developed a close relationship with Coach Rogers, but Lorenzo Ward is the guy who came to our school and called me a lot. He's definitely the coach I'm closest to.
VTinsider: What was his approach or attitude towards you during this that maybe got you to lean towards Tech?
Sean: Coach Ward is different than most coaches in that he didn't suck up to us. He told it to us like it was. Since I committed pretty early, I didn't get as involved with him as Eddie. Him and Eddie would go at each other some times and even argue when Coach Ward would pick Eddie's playing apart. He would point out things that Eddie lacked in his game. He wouldn't lie to us or suck up to us but he told us the truth and was cut and dry to us. I thought that was pretty unique.
VTinsider: What were some of the main factors that went into you deciding on Virginia Tech above the other schools?
Sean: Basically I wanted to feel like I was at home. I felt comfortable there. A lot of places I visited were really prestigious but I didn't feel right with the coaches or at the campus. I wanted to make sure I was comfortable and at Tech, the coaches treated me like I was one of their kids and the players treated me like I was part of their family. It felt good and it was something I wanted to be a part of.
VTinsider: How do you feel about your top target from high school, Eddie Royal, also committing to Tech?
Sean: It was definitely a huge bonus. It makes coming to Tech that much easier and exciting to be able to continue at the next level. We've got a great chemistry we want to continue on the field in college.
VTinsider: Well I think I speak for all Hokie fans in saying we can't wait to see you guys keep that chemistry up on the field. I want to know though, did you talk to him any during his recruitment and try to get him to join you at Tech?
Sean: Sometimes we would have serious talks and try to lay out everything about choosing the right future, but usually I just sat down and ragged him about coming to Tech.
VTinsider: In your opinion, what other guys from Westfield or your area in general that you played with or played against are college material?
Sean: From Westfield, definitely Evan Royster as a running back. From my area, I think Pat Sheil from Centreville. I saw him a few years ago and didn't think much of him as a lineman, then all the sudden I saw him this past season and he had gotten huge. I wouldn't mind having him block for me.
VTinsider: Getting away from recruiting, if you could compare yourself to any other current NCAA player who would it be and why?
Sean: That's a tough one. I'm not sure about comparison, but definitely the person I look up to is Chris Leak. His work ethic and the way he handled himself at Florida as a true freshman was incredible. He was able to come in and have a huge impact his first year. I also liked Philip Rivers from NC State this past season a lot. I think our styles kind of complimented each other. He always was smart with his throws.
VTinsider: When Sean Glennon takes the field under center, what are his best onfield traits or attributes?
Sean: I'm a pretty good leader. I think I'm good at getting things going in the huddle. Playing wise, my best attribute would be putting the ball where it should be. I threw pretty accurate and didn't throw many picks. I think most of the time I made the right choice. It comes from knowing my limits and making good reads and then not trying to force anything. I use my head a lot when I play.
Special thanks to Sean for chatting with us in this edition of Up Close. In the next edition of VTinsider's Up Close, we talk with Sean's good friend and top target of choice from Westfield and future Hokie playmaker, Eddie Royal.
Stay tuned later this week for that and much more!

Police say social media turned call to high school into 'snowball'
With the regional SWAT Team in full operation and students being evacuated from the high school, inaccurate messages started showing up on social media, said Police Chief John Duval.
One said a bomb went off, Duval said. Another urged people to go to the school. A Concord High hashtag included a Tweet about gunfire and possible hostages.
But there were no hostages or gunfire. In fact, no gun at the school at all. By 10:30 p.m., police had arrested an 18 year old, within hours they freed him. At a press conference Wednesday, police said a teenage student lied when she told police the young man had threatened her with a handgun.
She could face charges of filing a false report, Duval said.
Lt. Timothy O'Malley said the social media added an element of fear to the school, which police evacuated after receiving the false report.
"That snowball started rolling dowhill, and it just started growing bigger and bigger as the night went on," Duval said.
He said the posts led to calls from the public and reporters, which he tried to answer with email and telephone.
"The more you say, 'No, this didn't happen,' then you get 'what did happen?' while at the same time we're trying to figure out what the reality was in the midst of the incident," Duval said. He said Concord police do have a Facebook page and Twitter feed, but he has more to learn about social media.
Throughout the incident, police put nothing on Facebook, and their only Twitter feed came at 10:37 p.m., announcing the arrest.
The incident started about 7:35 p.m. when police received the initial report of the girl being threatened. They activated the Central New Hampshire Special Operations Unit, which evacuated the building.
About 50 people were inside the building. Some were taking an adult music classes, some a college culinary class. Some high school students were filming a movie, which involved makeup and fake blood, school officials said.
The 18-year-old was found at his residence and arrested, police announced Tuesday night. But within hours, police started to doubt the girl's story. The suspect was released after being in custody for four hours, Duval said.
"He did not commit a crime last night," Duval said. Police did not release the man's name, but it was broadcast over social media, and the Concord Monitor ran the man's name after interviewing the girl.
Duval said the mobilization of the SWAT unit involved 20 to 30 officers, including police from Concord, Bow, Loudon, New Hampshire State Police and Merrimack County Sheriff deputies. Othe calls for service to Concord police backed up during the incident.
Duval said the incident cost the police department up to $10,000. If charged and convicted, the girl could be forced to pay restitution, Duval said.
An investigation is continuing, police said.

I had to catch my breath
When I saw you there across the room
Holdin her hand
I'd have never guessed
That starting over would look so good on you
But here I am
Still believing there might come a day
We'll pick up where we left off
And by the way
Your eyes are dancing
I'll say the chances of that
Are getting slim
And by the way
My hearts still breaking
It's going take it a while
To love again
So many things that I forgot to say
By the way

Source - http://www.kovideo.net/by-the-way-lyrics-taylor-swift-1287607.html
I should've let you know
All the way's you made me feel alive
I guess it's too late
So I'll just get my coat
And make my way into this breezy night
Give you one last wave
Maybe you'll drop what you're doing
And come over here and say
I'm looking good
And by the way
Your eyes are dancing
I'll say the chances of that
Are getting slim
And by the way
My hearts still breaking
It's going take it a while
To love again
So many things that I forgot to say
By the way
You still look amazing
And I must have been crazy
To let you get away
By the way
If you ever wondered
Still got the same old number
Just in case
I still miss you
And I still love you
By the way
By the way, oh

John Galliano: Just One of Many Problems In the Fashion Industry
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
This month a rare moment occurred in the fashion world: the very public firing of much-loved Christian Dior visionary John Galliano. Central to Galliano's fatal gaffe are two separate, public confrontations involving vicious anti-Semitic slurs and inchoate schoolyard jabs lobbed at patrons of a Parisian café, one of which was captured on video.
The first British designer named to lead a French house (Givenchy, 1995) and 13-year-long headmaster at Dior, Galliano is a career eccentric known for loosening up once-rigid couture as well as looking like a fashionable Captain Jack Sparrow. But as the video circulated and news snowballed, Dior executives made the decision to cut him loose within one week. You can't blame them: Galliano was caught under dimmed lights, nursing a drink and slightly slurring while declaring his love for Adolf Hitler and personal disgust at the strangers filming his consternation. As well as the overnight end to a remarkable career, the British designer also faces possible jail time and has entered rehab. No doubt, the dismissal came in response to upholding consumer and corporate interests. But to hold up Galliano as an isolated example would be to ignore industry-wide prejudices, ones most often swept under the fashion world's ornate rug.
Fashion proper has successfully styled itself as the bastion of the hyper-progressive, despite deeper corporate-fueled machinations and a conservative, more-moneyed-than-not clientele. That traditionalism is still evident, especially when it comes to race. Pulitzer Prize-winning fashion writer Robin Givhans recently touched on this idea in a New York Magazine piece called "Why Fashion Keeps Tripping on Race." Designers and style pundits fete Michelle Obama's chic, she says, but they also dodge exploring how it might feel to be the only black person in the room. Givhans adds, "The fashion world considers itself so cosmopolitan and sophisticated that it can play fast and loose with racial stereotypes—occasionally shattering them, sometimes benefiting from their stubborn existence… Fashion editorials can be thoughtful and exasperating—sometimes in the same breath."
This brings up the now-cliché (but still exploited) photo shoot concept documenting comely well-dressed white women cavorting in Third World locales. Contrast and cultural juxtaposition continue to make up the basis for ethnic inclusion within white society's sartorial Wonderland. Stylists can drape locally sourced textiles over a model's jutting collarbones as a nod to the scouted locale but it's an accessory of divergence (vis-à-vis mercantile progress); there's no system in place to actually purchase that scarf or tunic. Just like the token issue or spread featuring all black models, it's lip service designed to placate an increasingly multicultural audience.
Add to this the continued playing dumb when it comes to ceasing and desisting with the blackface, already. French Vogue's October 2009 issue ran a 14-page spread featuring model Lara Stone wearing "African"-inspired designs, her body painted a mottled, dull brown. Even more recently, Beyonce—who is sometimes speculated to be retouched to appear lighter-skinned in photos—sported a plainly darkened face in a Fela Kuti tribute editorial for the March 2011 issue of L'Officiel Paris. When controversy inevitably bubbles to the surface, official explanations are always too dismissive and broad stroke, relying on feigned ignorance of what is always a repeat offense. But you can't dream a post-racial world into existence.
Sometimes fashion's race problem will make mainstream news, jarring the unspoken conflict into existence.
