Cliques in Nursing School
- 0Sep 18, '09 by KMC-RN-BSN-710I am an advanced placement student set to graduate in May of next year. I am always a very friendly person and have extended myself to try to talk to individuals in my school. It is my senior year now and I feel because I did not start with the class from the beginning , then tend to snub me. I have never realized that even in your Mid twenties girls would still act so immature and clique. I had made friends with a few people down here, but one acts totally ignorant for me, after I was unable to do a favor for her. I explained why I was not able to and apologized several times, but that did not seem to work. I am uncertain what to do, I feel as if so many cliques have existed in my life and I am a friendly personable person, and do not get why I do not fit into the cliques. I don't know I just felt the need to vent. I am a bit of a sensitive individual, so it is hard being so far away from my family and friends back home, only to be treated with little to no hospitality at all. I even feel that the teachers have preferences in their students, I am not being paranoid either. I know one of the professors even went out to the Bar for one of the students birthdays, it is totally obvious that the cliques exist. I only feel like people are nice to me if they need something, which is not right at all. Does anyone have any suggestions for me (nice ones only) as to how to overcome this obstacle. Thank you all
- 0Sep 18, '09 by MermiesGreatGigGee, I'm sorry about how you're feeling. My class has cliques, too, but we are all basically in a family-type atmosphere. All I can say is remember why you're there...to become a nurse. It certainly sounds like you will be a very caring one! School will be over before you know it. You will probably face cliques once you start working, though. There's no easy answer, but just keep on being friendly, and focus on your nursing. After all, the patient is the most important person...not your classmates...not your co-workers. Good luck!
- 0Sep 18, '09 by neonatal_nurseI totally agree with the first post. If you did your part and these girls are still not nice to you, well it's their loss. Maybe you just need to find different people to befriend- definitely should be more accomodating and accepting of who you are. Sadly, these cliques are reality, you'll find it even when you've already become a nurse. As they say, like attracts like so i'm sure other "nicer" people will want to be with you.
Just do your part, study and cooperate with group work. And if they suddenly become "friendly" while asking for favors, please say no. They will just use you.
Believe that you're a great person, and I'm sure others will find that out too. Good Luck!
- 1Sep 18, '09 by EowynRNI wouldn't worry too much. You might be trying too hard, and just personality wise you might come off as really high strung/needy when you do that (I know I do). The best thing you can do is relax and not worry about it too much. The more you worry, the more you come off as kinda needy and it does throw people off in life. ...i know. Just try to be yourself, do your work best you can, and be friendly when asking people to work together. Don't worry too much about people using you for your work. They probably aren't, and you are just reading into that. It's kinda that whole self fulfilling prophecy thing.
Also, Cliques can be mean, but they can also be good...but you aren't going to avoid them by not going to nursing school. I mean there are even cliques in nursing homes...and those people are 80 years old. Just remember some cliques are groups of friends who have built trust in each other...maybe by having other classes together, or through shared experiences so you can't except to be right in with them right away. It takes time. Hang in there, and just try to be open, CONFIDENT, and non-judgmental. It will be ok
- 0Sep 18, '09 by kat von bi'm very lucky to go to a school where cliques don't exist (in fact our professors complimented us on how well we all get along/work together). no one is mean to each other and we all try to help each other at clinical, lab, studying etc. just be yourself and i'm sure you will find some friends!
- 2Sep 19, '09 by Daytoniteyou are there to learn nursing. if you make a friend or two that is nice, but it is not why you are there. at the end of your life if you still have contact with people you knew through the years it will be rare. people and acquaintances will come and go throughout your life. ignore these knuckleheads and concentrate on your studies. be cordial, civil and respectful in dealing with others, but you will find that not everyone will return the same behavior. just ignore it. you cannot force anyone to be friendly with you. end of story. you move on.
- 0Sep 19, '09 by Rylee2008I'm sorry to hear about your situation. I won't worry about it. I tell myself I'm at school to learn and not make friends. We do have cliques at my school and a few who think they know it all, but honestly would you really want a friend who belittles or thinks less of you? Most of my instructors are pretty fair, but their are a few who seem to favor the younger more outgoing students. Hang in there, do your best at school and if they don't want to be your friend it's their loss.
- 0Sep 19, '09 by kitte22I agree with Daytonite, i graduated nursing school in june and we had all sorts of cliques. Its quite rediculous but its there, the teachers picked favorites just like in high school. You are there to learn and I know its hard to be away from family and friends but it will be over soon. I am the same way at first it really bothered me that no one talked to me, but after a while I was relieved, rumors start fast especially in a class full of girls that have cliques, keeping to myself and giving them no information about myself kept me out of these rumors. You dont have to come off needy for these people to do this to you its in a lot of these girls' nature. Be confident and concentrate on your schooling, thats ultimately why you are there. Good luck to you!
- 0Sep 19, '09 by nyteshadeThere were cliques in my LPN and ADN program. Cliques exist at my job! Truth is, it is basic human nature. I have always been odd one out. I'd be lying if I told you I never belonged to a clique though. I guess I am in the MDS clique, but I'm still the odd one out. Cliques become a problem when the goal is to sabotage another. Just do what you gotta do. Don't worry about what others think. The goal here is to pass the NCLEX and become safe nurses. You probably won't see these people again, so who cares? I haven't run into anyone from college.
- 0Sep 21, '09 by KMC-RN-BSN-710Thank you so much from everyone for your support. I am here to become a nurse, but it would just be nice to have people who can be resources and be supportive. Thanks a bunch.

On August 31, 1894, two young men rolled their new electric car onto what passed for a road in Philadelphia. It would have been hot and sticky outside, a Friday at the end of a long summer that had seen an intense heat wave suffocate the city for most of July. Piles of manure would have dotted the stones.
As the two men began their slow ride, people must have stared. Horses must have balked. It was almost undoubtedly the only car in the city. Credit for the first American electric vehicle is generally given to Boston's Philip W. Pratt for his lithe three hundred-pound tricycle, but this new vehicle was one of the very first automobiles in the world. Even eleven years later, only five hundred cars were registered in the city.1 Pedro Salom, a chemist, and Henry Morris, an inventor, had built their new ride in only two months. As much tank as carriage, the Electrobat, as they called it, weighed 4,400 pounds and was powered by an adapted ship motor. Its designers freely admitted that the vehicle was not designed for "an attractive appearance to a carriage builder's eye." Instead, they built the vehicle rugged because they wanted it to stand up to the rough city roads--not at all smooth like the roads of today--and they happened to need a place to put 1,600 pounds of lead-acid batteries.
The first version of the Electrobat, on which they glided through the streets of Philadelphia that fall and winter, looks like an uncovered wagon, complete with the spoked wheels--big ones in back, small ones up front. Two could comfortably sit atop the battery compartment, which housed the monster lead-acid cells, but it could have carried up to a dozen people. It gives the impression of a stagecoach missing both the horses and the coach, but it got the job done. It had a maximum range of fifty to one hundred miles and traveled hundreds of miles in its few months of testing, if Salom is to be believed. Its successor, the Electrobat 2, weighed closer to 1,800 pounds and packed a couple hundred pounds of batteries. It looked like a box on wheels, and a conductor sitting in the middle of the front of the car drove it with a steering stick. This automobile was the one that would propel Morris and Salom into history.
The competition between electric, gasoline, and steam-powered horseless carriages was real. At the turn of the century each type of automobile had about a third of the market. We can be sure that proponents of each method of propulsion--not to mention the "lovers of horseflesh"--had frothy-mouthed adherents who would have left nasty comments all over the Internet had such a medium existed.
Many nineteenth-century heavyweights agreed that the electric car would win out, and the Philadelphia duo became a part of the most ambitious effort to create an integrated, nationwide, electric-powered transportation system that the world has ever seen. Morris and Salom's second Electrobat became the technological basis of the Electric Vehicle Company, the first corporate car concern in the world, the first cab company in New York, and, in the words of automotive historian John B. McRae, the "Monopoly that Missed."
The Making of The Electric Vehicle Company
In April 1899 William C. Whitney, a New York financier, walked out of his home on 5th Avenue, bound for Hartford, with a million dollars earmarked to jump-start the creation of a nationwide electric vehicle company.
Whitney was a robber baron, playboy, lover of fine horses, former Secretary of the Navy, and syndicate builder. He married well; his mansion featured a Marie Antoinette room. Whitney's henchmen purchased ceilings, walls, and chimneys from old European manses and reassembled them in his home.
The million dollars was an enticement for Colonel Albert Pope, who was the country's leading bicycle maker, to tie up with the Electric Storage Battery Company (ESB). The ESB had bought out Morris and Salom's Electric Carriage and Wagon Company, which had successfully opened up a cab service in Manhattan with thirteen modified Electrobats. During April 1897, their first month at Broadway and West 39th, Morris and Salom happily reported to the Society of Western Engineers that they had served a thousand passengers and the small fleet collectively traveled two thousand miles across the city.
There was just one problem with the vehicles: They did not have the range of their gasoline competitors. Batteries, even our modern lithium ion ones, do not pack nearly as much energy per pound or cubic volume as gasoline does.
That disadvantage could be mitigated with an efficient central station that would allow for fast battery swapping. During that year Isaac Rice and the ESB took over more active management of the enterprise.
In particular, they asked George Herbert Condict to design a new way to swap batteries in and out of cabs quickly. Condict responded with an ingenious system that drew on his experience supervising a Manhattan streetcar line that used swappable batteries for power. The ESB constructed it in a converted skating rink at 1684 Broadway to service the rapidly growing fleet.

According to the latest update to ABI Research's forecasts, cellular M2M connections continue to show steady growth, and are expected to exceed 297 million in 2015. Their 2009 forecast of about 225 million connections by 2014 has also been raised to 232.5 million. On the downside, while telematics and smart grid drive growth in Asia-Pacific, the markets outside Japan and key countries are "less mature," according to Sam Lucero, ABI's practice director.
Historically, telecommunication companies have been characterized by fixed rates for telephone and Internet service. Because price is the distinguishing factor instead of features or other differentiators, the average revenue per user has been on a downward trend. The industry has been looking for a solution to this trend for some time, and some providers are now finding it in managed IT services in the cloud.
Well Positioned to Engage in Managed Cloud Services
As mobile usage in the developed countries moves rapidly from voice to applications, the level of call processing in the network must increase correspondingly. Applications such as video and navigation require hundreds of times more data than voice, and the network's processing capabilities must be upgraded to handle it. Yet choices now being made about 4G infrastructures will significantly impact operators' ability to scale processing power as needed.

As someone who's been in and around the telecom industry for a long time, you can appreciate the kinds of changes I've seen over the years. At its basic level, we've gone from a world of monopoly fixed line service providers, to a de-regulated one where CLECs temporarily roamed, to the fragmented mobile-centric/Internet-centric business of today, where players like Amazon and Google and innovative device companies like Apple and RIM lead the way.
Today's communications world is not your grandfather's, or even your father's, communications world. What we used to call telecom is now a much broader industry that encompasses entertainment, Internet and web-based media and services and much more. And communications has been quickly converging with the IT world, which has necessitated a rethinking of how we approach a business architecture for the present day.
If you've been reading my columns with any regularity, you'll know that even though I've been in the communications business longer than I might care to admit, I'd like to think I'm still pretty connected when it comes to new technologies, new services and new ways of doing business.
With bated breath, the world waited on pins and needles at the end of January for the latest and greatest invention from Apple. Speculation was high that Steve Jobs would roll out a tablet computer, but once he unveiled the iPad and people finished oohing and aahing over the thin form factor, big screen and compatibility with iTunes and the App Store, the real scrutiny began.
Messaging and SMS are not typically considered major sources of bottlenecks or capacity management issues. But the diversity of networks that support messaging and growing competition over high-use subscribers may force operators to consider near-term investments in their network stacks to protect the long-term investment they already have.
When Tekelec recently published its white paper, "MM3.0: the Future of Messaging," it challenged service providers to consider requirements evolving through 3GPP, and to be prepared for these challenges.
So here we are in a brand new decade; in many ways, escaping from the "Noughties" won't be all bad for the communications industry. After all, we weathered the telecom freeze in the early 2000s, which decimated the ranks of telecom equipment makers, forced consolidation among some carriers and increased regulatory actions in many parts of the world.

Masters Series Webcast: Optimizing E-Discovery in a Multi-Vendor Environment
Despite the emergence of more comprehensive, all-in-one e-discovery systems, most organizations still rely on an assembly of disparate technologies to support e-discovery efforts. Just like a car is dependent on an intricate set of moving parts working in unison, a successful e-discovery process is equally reliant on technology integration and alignment: HR systems should update legal hold custodian lists, while matter management solutions should sync matter information with other e-discovery applications, and data collection tools should accurately collect from archiving databases. The list of potential integrations goes on and on.
In the third webcast of our e-discovery masters series, masters of systems integration will share their perspective on the components needed to create an integrated e-discovery environment, including:

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke is scheduled to hold a press conference Wednesday on U.S. interest rates and economic growth, the first in the 98-year history of the nation's central bank.
In an attempt to fulfill a promise he made at his first confirmation hearing in 2005, Bernanke plans to hold such media events three times a year.
Critics of the Federal Reserve have said the central bank is too secretive and unaccountable.
"Under Chairman Greenspan, monetary policy has become increasingly transparent to the public and the financial markets, a trend that I strongly support." Bernanke said at the 2005 hearing.
Transparency aside, some say one of the real goals of the press conference is to repair the Fed's image with the public.
"The press conference serves multiple purposes," writes Bernie Baumohl, chief economist at The Economic Outlook Group. "It helps explain the Fed's role in the economy, improves public trust in the central bank, and can be used discreetly as a platform to place more pressure on Congress to reduce the swelling budget deficits."
Bernanke is expected to avoid any spontaneous comments that could set off the markets.
On Tuesday, stocks closed at their highest levels in nearly three years due to stronger corporate earnings and a lift in consumer confidence.

The FAA has issued an Airworthiness Directive for Boeing's new Dreamliner after receiving reports of fuel leaks on two different in-service airplanes, and the subsequent discovery of several improperly assembled engine fuel feed manifold couplings on in-service and production airplanes.
The improper coupling installations, which occurred during production, have included couplings with missing or improperly installed lockwire, parts within the couplings installed in the wrong locations, incorrect parts installed in the couplings, and couplings that have extra parts installed. The FAA says these conditions, if not corrected, could result in fuel leaks, which could lead to fuel exhaustion, engine power loss or shutdown, or leaks on hot engine parts that could lead to a fire.
The AD (2012-24-07) requires ensuring that the lockwire is installed correctly on the engine fuel feed manifold couplings. This AD also requires inspecting the assembly of the engine fuel feed manifold rigid and full flexible couplings.
The FAA estimate that this AD affects 3 airplanes of U.S. registry. The total cost of the repair is estimated at $2,712 per airplane.
The AD is a final rule. The agency said that notice and opportunity for prior public comment are impracticable and that good cause exists for making this amendment effective in less than 30 days. However, there is a comment period open through January 22, 2013.
The effective date for the AD is December 5, 2012.
In an unrelated development, CBS News reports that a United Airlines 787 made an emergency landing in New Orleans Tuesday after an unspecified problem arose during a flight from Houston to Newark. United officials said that the airplane landed safely in New Orleans Tuesday morning, and the 174 passengers on board continued on a different airplane to their destination.
There were reports of an electrical problem with the airplane on the website NYCAviation.com, but United has not said specifically why the airplane was diverted.

I'm here instead of the phone
Find a Conversation
|Mon, 09-24-2012 - 6:29pm
I had a horrible day at work, a coworker decided to drill me on things that were non of her business in the first place. It's not the first time. This is a huge trigger because one of the reasons I started talking to xap was because of discord with coworkers. I would go to him to vent, to get a smile, a kind word, laugh... Even when we tried ending a gazillion times, problems at work are probably one of the main reasons I would really NEED to talk to him. I guess to get that kind word, laugh....
Anyway, part of me wants to call, but suprisingly, its not quite as strong as usual. I'm finally starting to 'get it' that he's really not there for me, so why do I keep reaching out.
I did try to call a couple other girlfriends, they didn't answer, then with the phone in my hand, I had a brief 'what the heck' thought followed by NO!!! I'll go post on the boards.
I'd kind of like to go run or at least walk, but don't want to go to all the trouble. Suppose I could take a shorter walk in the neighborhood, vs going to the park for a bigger walk. This typing really does help.
Still having the annoying rollercoaster of emotions, but winning with "I can do this" feelings and affirmations.
ok off to walk, leaving the phone inside. ..
Have a good week everyone. It has got to get better!!!
|Mon, 09-24-2012 - 7:25pm
I am soooo glad you picked up the phone and called us, k...we will always be here.
I takes a while to not respond like we did...to not reach out to the one we always turned to when we were troubled. Learning to turn to others or do activities to keep yourself from reaching out is BIG and you are doing it. I'm sorry your girlfriends weren't available...I'll give them a good talking to if you'd like
I'm sorry work can make things so hard for you. I don't know your situation, is there a way to avoid all this discourse? Like by even just leaving the room? And what's up with a co-worker drilling you? Can you tell her you don't want to talk about it? If you are uncomfortable talking about it here, I understand.
I hope you did take that walk and it relieved some of your anxiety and cleared your head.
Btw, how was your vacation?
Chin up,
|Mon, 09-24-2012 - 9:01pm
|Tue, 09-25-2012 - 5:45am
I did it!! Or should that be I DIDN"T do it,,,, I made it through, did NOT call and I'm SO glad I didn't. Like I said in the other post, the feeling was different... there was still that little voice saying oh lets just call,,, but the logic of why not was so much bigger and even thoughts of feeling worse afterwards and I really don't want to do that to myself again..
Clarity, I did try avoiding, walking out of the room and she was determined to hammer me. I didn't have anything to hide and told her it was none of her business, but answered the question and left. I have an appt next week with the EAP counselor. She did a class on conflict management a month or so ago which was really good. I had thought about contacting her for more info earlier but put it off. Now I have an appt.
Vacation was SO AWESOME!! Very busy, but SO AMAZING!!
Thanks to both of you for your support. I appreciate it. I know my friends get tired of hearing the drama, I get tired of it, so I can just imagine how sick of it they are. The thing is I don't want the drama! I'm really working on the positives and it seems to make the crazies come around.
Have a good day.

The end of the Cold War has not ushered in the global peace and prosperity that many had anticipated. Environmental degradation is causing the rampant spread of famine and disease, and a rising number of nations are being torn by violent wars of fierce tribalism and trenchant regionalism. Our newest democracies, such as Russia and Venezuela, are bloody maelstroms of violence and crime, while America is beset with an alarmingly high number of apathetic citizens content to concern themselves with matters of entertainment and convenience. Bold, erudite, and profoundly important, The Coming Anarchy is a compelling must-read by one of today's most penetrating writers and provocative minds.

A NOAA-led report released September 5 by the Bulletin of the American Meteorology Society – entitled "Explaining Extreme Events of 2012 from a Climate Perspective" – casts a pall on the effects of human influences on extreme weather and climate events.
Three of four lead editors on the report hailed from NOAA, and overall, 18 distinct research teams from across the globe offered their expert opinions as to the causes of 12 extreme events that transpired in the Arctic and on five continents.

Islanders notebook: Southland Hall admits 3
CORPUS CHRISTI - The Southland Conference announced it will add three members to its Hall of Honor this year, bringing the amount of total inductees to 36 since the league started the honor list in 1999.
Billy Tubbs, a former Lamar basketball coach and current athletic director, Kansas City Royals manager Trey Hillman, an ex-UT Arlington standout, and Thomas Davis, a former Sam Houston football player and longtime faculty-athletic rep at the school, will enter the Hall on June 3 in Galveston.
The ceremony coincides with the league's spring meetings.
The Hall includes such notables as McNeese's Joe Dumars, who went on to win NBA championships with the Detroit Pistons,

So A Juror From The George Zimmerman Trial Is Already Shopping A Book
It begins. Juror B37 and her attorney husband have signed with a literary agent.
1. Less than 48 hours after taking part in the verdict that exonerated George Zimmerman in the death of Trayvon Martin, the juror known only as B37, has signed on with Martin Literary Management president, Sharlene Martin.
2. The literary agent released a statement:
My hope is that people will read Juror B37's book, written with her attorney husband, and understand the commitment it takes to serve and be sequestered on a jury in a highly publicized murder trial and how important, despite one's personal viewpoints, it is to follow the letter of the law. It could open a whole new dialogue about laws that may need to be revised and revamped to suit a 21st century way of life. The reader will also learn why the jurors had no option but to find Zimmerman Not Guilty due to the manner in which he was charged and the content of the jury instructions.
3. But not everyone sees the proposed book in such high-minded ways.
4. Ron Hogan, who works with authors and independent publishers, questioned the timeline of the book idea and whether the juror's actions were improper.
8. It is unknown whether the juror and her husband will reveal their identities.
"It is not known whether they will participate in any media at this time or decide to reveal their identities given the sensitivity of the verdict and the outpouring of mixed reactions by the American public," Martin, the literary agent told Media Bistro. Apparently, the juror contacted Martin on Sunday, "referred by a high ranking producer at one of the morning shows."

It's always sad when the holiday decorations get tucked away for the year. They bring much light and life to the season and we all hate to say goodbye to them.
This pretty votive project can accomplish the same and bring that brightness to our longest of nights.
Create a set to liven your dining room table or fireplace mantle. They look lovely in daylight, but when illuminated with a faux votive candle, these cups layered with color and shapes come to life.
Begin by cutting several strips from a twelve inch roll of waxed paper. The height of your strip should be equal to the height your glass votive cups You'll need two strips per votive, be precise when you cut, a paper trimmer or a ruler, blade and matt will get the job done.
Select a few of your favorite punches and a variety of colored and patterned tissue paper and punch a few shapes from each pack of tissue. Tissue paper is thin and you can easily punch at least six or seven sheets at once. If you want to punch just a couple of layers, sandwich the tissue between two sheets of text-weight paper. If you don't, the tissue could get stuck in your punch.
Set up your ironing board, cover the board with an old, soft towel to protect it, plug in your iron and set it to a medium heat.
Lay a strip of waxed paper on the towel, and randomly place a variety of punched tissue pieces on this strip. Overlap the shapes, but don't let them go beyond the edges of the strip. When all pieces are placed, lay a second strip of waxed paper on top of the first strip and carefully align the edges.
Gently place a thin cotton dish towel on the sandwiched paper and press the layers with the warm iron. Peek periodically at the sandwich to see if the layers are fusing -- they'll become less transparent as they fuse. Each iron is different, so if you find your layers aren't fusing together, turn up the heat to the next setting and try pressing them again.
Press all your layers, and let them cool. Trim away any messy edges with your paper trimmer or knife and ruler, or scissors.
Wrap a strip of fused layers around your votive cup and use a small strip of double-stick tape to adhere it to the cup.
Once your cups are wrapped, drop an artificial, battery-operated "votive" in each cup.
Create a grouping to use as a centerpiece or display. Besides the tissue paper, you can also press other materials between the layers, like feathers, thin ribbons or threads.
Experiment, make more, and have fun!

Online CNA classes
- 0Sep 24, '08 by Lauren3787Has anyone taken their CNA classes online? The CNA classes I have seen offered would really throw off my entire spring schedule... but the online classes seem like they might not be so bad. The one i'm looking at is through JCCC and there is still 1 all day class that meets which wouldn't be bad at all.
Anyone taken one and liked/disliked it? if so do you take online classes regularly?
Ive only taken 1 online class before, and it was art history and it was in the summer... and I ended up dropping it (i think it was because i didn't like the class, not because it was online)
I was also thinking it would work really well to take the classes over the summer but haven't seen any summer schedules available w/ CNA classes posted, are they offered over the summer?
Any help is appreciated! thanks.
- 0Sep 25, '08 by Lauren3787there would still be clinicals... half the class would be online and then one day a week for 2 months or so you have to meet (for clinicals i assume)
I didn't know if it was just a lot harder to absorb the information if it wasn't given to you buy an instructor ... or if it was the was basic and could be done easily online.

Google Voice Service Now Under FCC Scrutiny
Google finds itself subjected to scrutiny by the Federal Communications
Commission (FCC) after the government body was alerted to the search-engine
giant's Google Voice service blocking telephone calls from consumers to certain
rural areas with inflated access charges.
Google Voice lets its users funnel their work and personal phone calls to
a single number, and provides other services such as automated voice mail
transcription and GOOG-411 integration. The Web-based phone management service
is an updated version of GrandCentral, which Google
acquired in July 2007.
According to Reuters, some 20 U.S. House lawmakers have asked the FCC to
investigate Google Voice's call-blocking to those rural areas. AT&T had also
brought the issue to the government's attention.
"Recent reports indicate that Google's Google Voice service restricts
calling from consumers to certain rural communities," Sharon Gillett, chief of
the FCC's Wireline Competition Bureau, wrote in an Oct. 9 letter to Richard
Whitt, Washington telecom and
media counsel for Google. "We are interested in gathering facts that can provide
a more compete understanding of this situation."
The letter asks that Google a series of questions about Google Voice's functioning by "close of business on Wednesday, October 28, 2009."
Among the questions: "How does Google identify the telephone numbers to
which it restricts calls? Does it restrict calls to individual telephone
numbers, or to particular exchanges or NPA-NXXs? Why does Google Voice restrict
calls to these numbers?"
Google has already posted a response on its Public Policy blog, with
Richard Whitt writing: "Today the FCC responded to AT&T's complaint by
asking us for more information about Google Voice. Google Voice is a free web
application, one intended to supplement and enhance existing phone lines, not
replace them.
"Despite AT&T's lobbying efforts, this issue has nothing to do with
network neutrality or rural
America," Whitt
continued. "This is about outdated carrier compensation rules that are
fundamentally broken and in need of repair by the FCC."
AT&T had brought the issue before the
FCC last month.
On Sept. 25, AT&T Senior Vice President-Federal Regulatory Robert Quinn sent a letter to the FCC that said, in part, "By openly flaunting the call blocking prohibition that applies to its competitors, Google is acting in a manner inconsistent with the spirit, if not the letter, of the FCC's fourth principle contained in its Internet Policy Statement."
AT&T further argued that, by blocking more expensive
calls in rural areas, Google gave itself an advantage over traditional phone
carriers who would be required to service those calls. It asked the FCC to
extend to Google Voice the same rules governing traditional carriers.
Richard Whitt argued in response to AT&T's letter that Google was not
a traditional phone company and therefore not subject to common carrier
"The FCC's open Internet principles apply only to the behavior of
broadband carriers-not the creators of Web-based software applications," Whitt
wrote in a Sept. 25 posting on the Google Public Policy blog. "Even though the FCC does not have
jurisdiction over how software applications function, AT&T apparently wants
to use the regulatory process to undermine Web-bsed competition and innovation."
This marks the second clash this year between Google and the FCC. In July, the regulatory body decided to step into a dispute between Apple and Google after Apple rejected a version of Google Voice for its popular iPhone device.

Shutterfly Catapults Into Mobile Ecommerce Through Penguin Digital Acquisition
Shutterfly, Inc. (NASDAQ:SFLY), a leading Internet-based social expression and personal publishing service, announced today that it has acquired Penguin Digital, Inc. ( www.pengu.in), a mobile application developer that provides consumers with a fun and easy way to create, share and purchase photo merchandise directly from their mobile devices.
Penguin Digital launched an iPhone app in January 2012 called Mobile Photo Factory or MoPho for short ( www.mophoapp.com), which allows anyone to easily create physical prints and photo based merchandise such as iPhone & iPad cases, mugs, key chains, apparel, canvas prints and more. With MoPho, users can access photos from their iPhone or their Facebook or Instagram accounts and create one-of-a-kind products and gifts while on the go. In addition to the stand alone application, Penguin Digital has developed a Software Development Kit ("SDK") that lets other app developers integrate printing of photos and the creation of photo based products into their own applications.
Smartphone use continues to grow, and according to eMarketer, by 2013, more than half of all mobile phone users in the US will own a smartphone. The acquisition of Penguin Digital further solidifies Shutterfly's market leading position, enabling consumers to be more creative with their photos and to preserve their memories. The MoPho application will be rebranded and updated over the next few months and will add to Shutterfly's mobile offerings, which include the popular Shutterfly iPhone and iPad apps and the soon to be released Treat birthday card app.
"The acquisition of Penguin Digital supports our mobile strategy aimed at giving consumers better ways to engage with their photos and personalize products on the go," said Jeffrey Housenbold, president and CEO of Shutterfly. "We believe it's important to give consumers the choice and convenience of transforming their memories into high quality products and gifts from their PC, tablet and mobile phone. Our recent strategic acquisitions of Nexo, TinyPrints, Photoccino and now Penguin Digital combined with our continued investment in organic growth and innovation further enables us to fulfill our vision of making the world a better place by helping people share life's joy."

St. Croix Galleries
Regular Gallery Hours: Wednesday through Friday 10am to 4pm, Saturdays 12-4pm
The St. Croix Galleries of ArtReach St. Croix features the work of local, regional and national artists in rotating exhibits. The gallery hosts a collection of visual arts representing a variety of mediums throughout the year. Gallery admission is free. Check out our archives.
A Bend in the River
The beauty and changing moods of the wild and scenic St. Croix River has inspired countless artists. In A Bend in the River, the most recent gallery exhibition at ArtReach St. Croix, the perspectives explored by artists Susan Armington and Tom Maakestad move beyond sun-dappled waters and rushing rapids to aerial views of the physical presence and personal stories of the river's impact on individual lives.
Armington's "River Stories" were inspired by time spent "river-gazing" and listening to people's stories what the St. Croix River means in their lives while participating in her 2013 Pine Needles Residency at St Croix Watershed Research Station in Marine on St. Croix. Her mixed-media paintings include these stories collaged into water to invoke a sense of words flowing through time.
The geological path of the river from an aerial perspective is the focus of Maakestad's body of work. His pieces provide the viewer with a birds-eye-view of the power of water to erode stone over thousands of years as it found the path of least resistance. Evidence of how people relate to the river can be seen in cities, towns and farms that abut the river banks.
A Bend in the River will be on display Thursday, September 4 through Saturday, October 11. An opening party will take place Thursday, September 4 at 6-8pm. The St. Croix Galleries are open Wednesdays–Fridays, 10 a.m.-4 p.m., and Saturdays, 12-4 p.m. ArtReach St. Croix is located at 224 N. 4th Street, Stillwater, Minn.
As a Take Me to the River event, A Bend in the River will have extended hours the weekends of September 20-28. The gallery will be open Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Sundays, 12-4 p.m.The creation of Susan Armington's work was supported by a fiscal year 2013 Artist Initiative grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board and Artist at Pine Needles residency from the Science Museum of Minnesota, St. Croix Watershed Research Station. Tom Maakestad is a fiscal year 2014 recipient of an Artist Initiative grant from Minnesota State Arts Board. This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Minnesota State Arts Board, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund.
|MacKenzie's Influence in the St. Croix
ArtReach St. Croix will present MacKenzie's Influence in the St. Croix, an exhibition of potter Warren MacKenzie and other St. Croix Valley potters whose work has been influence by the legendary artist. The exhibit will be on view at ArtReach from October 15-November 16, 2014. ArtReach will also be screening a new documentary, "Warren MacKenzie: A Potter's Hands" which presents a cinematic window into MacKenzie's life work and philosophy.
Warren MacKenzie has been known for his functional, no-nonsense style of pottery lovingly called "Mingei-sota" inspired by Mingei, the Japanese folk pottery tradition. MacKenzie's long career as a craftsman, artist and teacher has influenced countless potters. MacKenzie will headline the exhibition at ArtReach St. Croix's galleries in Stillwater, his hometown for the last 50+ years. He will be joined by St. Croix Valley potters who were his students, mentees and colleagues. Each of the contributing potters are known in their own right and include: Wayne Branum, Guillermo Cuellar, Jan McKeachie Johnston, Randy Johnston, Jeff Oestrich and Mark Pharis.
The underlying story in this project is about infusing art into the everyday. It is about a contemporary art pottery tradition that is being built in rural areas, for daily use and with quiet connection to the land in this scenic river valley. It is great to know that around the next bend in the St. Croix River Valley there might be a world famous potter at work.
ArtReach St. Croix is open Wednesdays through Fridays from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. During "MacKenzie's Influence in the St. Croix" there will be extended gallery hours which includes Sunday afternoons from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. For more information visit www.artreachstcroix.org or call 651-439-1465.This activity is made possible by the voters of Minnesota through a grant from the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council, thanks to a legislative appropriation from the arts and cultural heritage fund and is part of a touring exhibition supported by the Minnesota State Arts Board.

According to industry news site Develop the company responsible for one of 2011's biggest games is basically no more. Team Bondi created the Rockstar published LA Noire to acclaim and big sales, yet the company was in trouble almost immediately afterward, perhaps due to the lethal mix of upset employees and pissing off one of the biggest game makers around. Now it's being reported that the rumors were true, as the company is joining up with KMM, a company associated with Mad Max and… sigh… Happy Feet…
KMM is buying off Bondi's assets according to"[a]n insider who engages with both companies locally," that Develop contacted. As part of the deal, KMM gains unspecified assets and IP from Bondi, which we would guess includes the face capturing tech used in LA Noire. We like to imagine KMM will end up with a huge pile of size 8 shoes the dev incorporated into countless LA Noire Homicide cases. However, those IPs purchased don't include the million-seller LA Noire, as Rockstar owns the franchise, not Bondi.
Current Bondi employees are reportedly being offered new positions at KMM to work under controversial Bondi boss Brendan McNamara, or the workers can quit and take a severance package. After gossip of McNamara's shabby treatment of employees, perhaps they'll take the compensation over employment, though how many other game development houses are there in Australia for them to apply to?
For a company some once expected to be purchased by Rockstar, this current reality can't be seen as a triumph, though maybe that's just how it looks from the outside. Just because the only game KMM has been involved in so far is the upcoming Happy Feet 2 movie tie-in doesn't mean they won't one day publish the next Portal or BioShock. Blizzard once made a crappy Justice League fighting game, so anything can happen. We at least hope this teaches our readers the importance of being nice to others, especially if those "others" include an industry titan like Rockstar.
