Any knowledgeable entrepreneur would cite innovation as a key to business success in today's world. And yet innovation means more than simply inventing the next great iPhone app. It can be as simple as implementing an existing idea into the way you do business. The core of innovation is change – being unafraid to look critically at how you do things and see if maybe there's a better way. Just as evolutionary change keeps organisms one step ahead of the competing species, searching for ways to improve your business can give you an edge over your competitors.
Innovation for your organization might be as simple as identifying and eliminating redundant tasks, or updating elements of your IT infrastructure. In particular, finding a way to do more with less is crucial in today's sluggish economy. One significant opportunity for innovation...
All around us we see examples of the balance between control and freedom. Too much governmental control means you have little say in your life, but too little results in anarchy. Children need structure to keep from running wild, but provide too much and they fail to develop key social and other life skills.
This same tug-of-war plays out when it comes to managing corporate information. Employees usually want to be able to access information anywhere, on any device, with infinite retention. The business typically wants to keep that information locked down to prevent loss of customer data and resulting brand damage. Legal in many cases wants to minimize information retention to reduce long term liability. Complicating this situation is that all three groups look at "the information" in different ways, and in many cases have poor visibility to the information altogether.
Striking the right balance between freedom and control, between retention and...
In 2011, corporate information emerged as the most coveted asset in the cybercrime war, the vast amount of digital information in the world grew even more rapidly and the surge in mobile devices in the workplace added another layer of complexity for IT executives.
So what's next? I sat down with Francis deSouza, Symantec's Group President of Enterprise Products and Services, to get a sense of the challenges CIOs will face in their quest to keep their information secure and accessible in 2012. Following is a recap of our discussion including a few key predictions to consider as you plan for the year ahead:
Question 1:Francis, you spend a lot of time with our customers. What challenges do they face in the year ahead?
Francis deSouza: As...
Clouds don't come in a box.
They don't come pre-installed in a piece of hardware. You don't just plug it in and – voila – you've got cloud! More importantly, you should not have to buy new, expensive hardware to get the benefits of cloud computing. This is one area the consumerization wave won't be as easily emulated for IT – yet. Specifically, we are used to swapping out our old game station for the latest model. We even do this with our smart phones or tablets. But in the data center, businesses and IT can't just 'throw away' their existing hardware to get the cloud. It's not good business sense.
At the core of this huge transition to the cloud – both public and private – are the business advantages. Scalability. Agility....

Roadrunner Transportation Systems said will buy freight Prime Logistics for $97.5 million, as one the fastest growing less-than-truckload carriers last year makes its fifth acquisition in 2011.
Roadrunner President and CEO MarkDiBlasi said the acquisition will help expand Roadrunner's reach in the market for freight consolidation and inventory management. Prime Logistics, a non-asset based distributor of food from producers to retailers, distributors and warehouses, had $67.5 million in revenue in 2010.
Prime Logistics said it shipped 1 billion pounds of food in 2010 through about 2 million square feet of facility space. Roadrunner said it will keep Prime Logistics' management in place and that Prime customers have access to additional transportation management services, cheaper LTL services and extended truckload capacity.
Roadrunner, which will pay $94.5 million in cash for Prime and $3 million in stock, will expand an existing credit facility to $240 million to finance the transaction.
Roadrunner reported a $7.4 million net profit in the second quarter, as the trucker's total revenue leaped 30.4 percent to $208.3 million. The company bought an intermodal specialist earlier this month; a Midwest truckload carrier in June; a refrigerated trucker in March; and a drayage operator in February.

I catch fragmented glimpses of my bald reflection in the elevator mirror as I go up, up, up—to a white-walled conference room, where a small herd of well-groomed doctors, all equally inscrutable, awaits. Dr. Cryptic, a top oncologist here at Minnesota's Mayo Clinic, shuffles papers in a file larger than any 34-year-old ought to have. My finger absently traces the Port-a-Cath jutting from my clavicle when he looks at me and asks: You're sure you want to do this by yourself…?
The answer is yes. It's always been yes. The first word out of my mouth as a baby was myself. From that point on, my parents engaged in a relentless battle: their instinct to nurture me (as they did my perfectly docile older brother) versus my fight for independence. But even then, my mother and father swore that everything that made me a pain in the ass as a child—the strong will, the determination to make my own decisions—was going to make me an excellent adult.

So they lovingly looked the other way, perplexed, as I evolved from an adolescent TV junkie into a nature-loving, hiking, ice-fishing teen who eschewed dance recitals in favor of solo night hikes near our New Jersey home, who swapped prom gowns and heels for tangled hair and fishing gaiters. The only time I recall asking my parents for something, it was permission to skip two weeks of my sophomore year of high school to travel through Eastern Europe to research a play I'd decided to write. Later there were solo road trips to see the world's largest ball of twine and writers' retreats by a frozen lake in northern Minnesota. Contrary to my Jewish roots and my nascent Hollywood dreams—by third grade I'd decided to be a writer—I craved fresh air, dead silence.

So when the Hollywood writers' strike hit in 2007, six weeks into my first bona fide job in the business as a writers' assistant on HBO's True Blood, I didn't call my parents in a panic. I hastily threw together a backpack and hit a two-day hiking trail. I was gloriously alone. Euphoric—until a few miles in, when my foot got lodged in the roots of an oak, and my entire body crumpled, tearing cartilage, cracking my kneecap in half, and instantly turning my leg three shades of blue.
Four surgeries over the next four years couldn't fix it. And walking on a knee with only 17 percent of its cartilage was searing. But for me, asking for help would have been infinitely more crippling. So I kept plugging away. I wrote my first True Blood episodes. Costumers decorated my canes for premiere parties; actors stole my crutches for sport.
My salve came in the form of TV, of course, in a stack of Friday Night Lights DVDs filled with Coach Taylor's epic speeches about character and beating the odds. In one episode, the team is down, humiliated; the players on the verge of quitting. Coach goes to the locker-room whiteboard and silently writes state—shorthand for the team's ultimate goal, to make it to the Texas state football championships. State was the victory that would make every battle along the way worth it. "State" became the team's battle cry. And, in a very real way, it became mine, too.

Enhancing Throughput Efficiency of Adhoc Wireless Networks Using Cognitive Radio Approach
Patel, C.A.; Kumar, S. Devices and Communications (ICDeCom), 2011 International Conference on, 2011
The goal of the paper is to enhance the throughput efficiency of wireless adhoc networks. An adhoc network is a collection of wireless mobile hosts forming a temporary network without the aid of any established infrastructure or centralized administration. Each node is considered to be alike here. It is needed to introduce some intelligence to the adhoc networks in order ...

Maggie Gyllenhaal Gossip
Maggie Gyllenhaal gossip, latest news, photos, and video.
Soho House/Grey Goose Part 4
Only caught a quick glimpse of Natalie Portman and her new man. She is SO small. And that skirt is shorter than you think. The outfit also looks better than it photographs. Portman was having a word with Carey Mulligan. It was all I could do not to have a Sapphic meltdown all over the grand piano. Mulligan stayed close to Maggie Gyllenhaal most of the time, with Peter Sarsgaard coming in and out of their little area. Full Story
Ladies at the luncheon
Today was the annual Academy Awards Nominee Luncheon. Notably absent: George Clooney. It's a non-campaign year for Clooney. Looks like he's conceding early to Jeff Bridges. But enough of the boys. Let's talk about our girls. GO Kathryn Bigelow, poised to become the first woman ever to win an Oscar for directing and a movie about war, no less. Full Story
Maggie > Julianne
Julianne Moore was predicted to earn an Oscar nomination today for Best Supporting Actress in A Single Man. That spot went to Maggie Gyllenhaal for Crazy Heart. Now you know I'm all for Maggie G. Love her. But Julianne... she was robbed. Also, much as I'm a fan of Sandra Bullock, it's criminal that she could have an Oscar before Julianne, and most criminal that Hilary Swank has TWO.

Best: Maggie G
Are we fighting? We are fighting, aren't we? Because you hate it. You think it's weird. You don't think it's pretty. Well it's Maggie Gyllenhaal. She doesn't do pretty. But it's architecture. And it's design. And it's imaginative. And there are few women who could have owned this like Maggie owned it. Full Story
The Frontrunner
I met Jeff Bridges a few months ago in Toronto during TIFF. He showed up at the Men Who Stare at Goats afterparty and I remember posting on my Twitter right away that he`s a sexy beast. It`s a lot of beard, but there`s something so compelling about him, about the way his eyes crinkle, and how he holds himself, and his cowboy boots and the pants, oh yeah, the pants. Full Story
Jake & Maggie, Reese & Deacon
Jake Gyllenhaal and Reese Witherspoon continue to deny through their reps that they've broken up, and he referred to his "girlfriend" last week at a press junket for Brothers, but they've yet to be seen together since well before their supposed split, and last night, according to People Full Story
Maggie's sateen jumpsuit
At the NY premiere of An Education last night, Maggie Gyllenhaal accompanied husband Peter Sarsgaard on the carpet in a black strapless jumpsuit. Not even my Maggie. It's Michelle's nightmare: talent showing lumps from the light. So she outlaws it when she's producing. At the Oscars for instance, she won't allow it on camera. Full Story
Maggie gets married… privately!
It's possible, see? As first reported by Radar, Maggie Gyllenhaal married Peter Sarsgaard on Saturday. Confirmation was issued this morning to Us Weekly Full Story
Maggie getting married
Everyone's getting married on location! Page Six is reporting that Maggie Gyllenhaal will marry Peter Sarsgaard in Italy in May. Maggie and Peter are parents to 2 year old Ramona, have been together forever, seem very well suited, and are both extremely well respected among their peers though chances are, their wedding style will be significantly more low key than Salma and M Pinault.

Where was the light?
It's these hotel rooms sometimes. The light is terrible. For makeup artists it's the worst. And possibly the explanation behind Sienna Miller's overbronzed face. Last night in New York at the screening for The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, that film she shot a couple of years ago during which she called Pittsburgh sh-tsburgh and angered the entire town… As you can see, Sienna's face is one orange blob – gorgeous, but totally the wrong colour.

One more! There were so many articles today, this one was skipped. Anyway… The dress, it's Lanvin. I'm not a chanter but I would chant for this dress.

(Adds requested materials in eighth paragraph.)
Oct. 3 (Bloomberg) -- Raj Rajaratnam, the hedge fund manager convicted of directing a massive insider-trading ring, opposed a government request to unseal data about his medical condition, claiming it would only fuel a "media feeding frenzy."
The public has no right to the information submitted to the court in a bid for leniency, Rajaratnam's lawyers, led by John Dowd, argued in papers filed in Manhattan federal court today. Rajaratnam is to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Richard Holwell Oct. 13
"The idea that Mr. Rajaratnam's interest in keeping his medical conditions private must yield to the public's prurient interest in such intimate details is absurd," the lawyers wrote. "No defendant should be forced to choose between providing the court with medical information relevant to sentencing and making himself the subject to a salacious and morbid media feeding frenzy."
Rajaratnam, 54, was convicted in May on all 14 criminal counts against him. Prosecutors said he gained $63.8 million by trading with inside information in 11 stocks, including Goldman Sachs Group Inc., Intel Corp., Google Inc., ATI Technologies Inc. and Clearwire Corp.
Sentence Request
The government is urging Holwell to give Rajaratnam, the co-founder of Galleon Group LLC, 19 1/2 to 24 1/2 years in prison. Rajaratnam's lawyers, calling the government's proposal "grotesquely severe," asked for a sentence "substantially below" that.
Ellen Davis, a spokeswoman for U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara, declined to comment on the court filing.
Prosecutors argued in papers filed with the court last week that the public has a First Amendment right to the information, which has been sealed by Holwell.
The government asked the judge to make public a letter Rajaratnam's lawyers sent to him arguing for leniency based on his medical condition, a doctor's declaration describing Rajaratnam's illnesses, declarations from the director of a nonprofit criminal justice organization and a former Bureau of Prisons employee and two letters from Rajaratnam's doctors to the judge. Prosecutors are also seeking to unseal a declaration they filed by a doctor for the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and two declarations sent by Rajaratnam in response.
'Serious Medical Problems'
In a memorandum filed with Holwell Aug. 9, Rajaratnam's lawyers argued that the judge should consider unspecified "serious medical problems present to an unusual degree" in determining the sentence. Rajaratnam hasn't disclosed the nature of any illnesses he's using to argue for a lower sentence.
During jury deliberations in the trial, Holwell excused Rajaratnam from the court during part of jury deliberations, without disclosing any reason for his absence. Rajaratnam's lawyers later released a statement saying he had emergency foot surgery to treat a bacterial infection.
The case is U.S. v. Rajaratnam, 1:09-cr-01184, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

In response to McCrory, Wos must step up, accept blame for DHHS woes (Jan. 15 Forum):
Cant pin all the blame for
FAST fiasco on McCrory, Wos
The NC FAST contract was awarded before Gov. Pat McCrory was elected.
Yet, the newspapers and politicians are blaming McCrory, and particularly Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Aldona Wos, for problems that have been years in the making.
If we want to point fingers, lets at least include the multiple federal agencies that fund the development and confound the developers with varying agency-driven requirements.
Tom Cox
Christie acted quickly; still waiting for Obama to act
Gov. Chris Christie fired two people who held up traffic for a few thousand people for several days.
Still waiting for President Obama to take action with the people who held up the health care rollout for a few million people for several months.
Kenny Colbert
GOP seems to ignore cost, futility of the war on drugs
Right-wing Republicans have worked themselves into a lather attacking what they call a failed government war on poverty.
Government is not the solution they say. Yet they demand that government slog forward in the failed war on drugs.
One estimate indicates the government spends more than $41 billion and gives up about $46 billion per year in taxes in its failed prohibition efforts.
These numbers would make a big dent in government deficits.
The GOP should also ponder the millions of drug war prisoners housed and fed in the government gulag at ridiculous expense while drug abuse continues unabated.
If government war is not the solution to poverty, isnt it logical and consistent that it is also not the solution to drug abuse?
Ed Hinson
In response to Trails backer dies at Crowders (Jan. 14):
Let hikers death be a reminder to all, especially to litterbugs
Gary Mims death at Crowders Mountain State Park is tragic. Apparently he was there collecting trash left by other thoughtless and inconsiderate park visitors.
Those who spoil the park experience for others in this way should be ashamed of themselves.
In Garys memory we should all remember to Take only memories, leave only footprints, and remind those who dont of their responsibility.
Mike Higgins
In response to CMS fires 3 over sleepy bus driver video (Jan. 14):
Lack of response on sleepy
CMS bus driver all too familiar
This article may not be a high profile news item, as evidenced by its location on page 6B, but it was a telling anecdote on how far CMS still has to go to improve.
Were it not for WSOC-TV running the story, that driver and two supervisors would likely still be employed.
The lack of response that CMS exhibited in that case is a familiar story to many CMS parents, and remains inexcusable. The official statement from CMS was even worse.
Lindsey Houser
In response to NC kids taken to hospital after drinking bleach (Jan. 14 CharlotteObserver.com):
Bleach incident at Kings Mountain day care inexcusable
Every working business is supposed to have a material safety data sheet (MSDS) in their establishment.
This book details almost every substance that might be harmful if it comes in contact with skin, or is inhaled or ingested. It also gives instructions on what to do if this should happen.
And, who puts cleaning products in a pitcher in the refrigerator?
OSHA should investigate.

In response to Charlotte moves closer to amateur sports complex with hotel deal (Jan. 14 CharlotteObserver.com):
An amateur sports complex? Charlotte should aim higher
Now we are in the big time, now we surely are.
We are right up there with the metropolitan meccas of Wichita and Huber Heights! Not to mention our own little sister, Matthews!
So let the lesser urban lights fritter away their time, effort and money on things like research universities.
Well show em whos who and whats what!
Davis Thompson
In response to Todays workers need a minimum wage they can live on (Jan 12 Forum):
Minimum wage must be affordable for employers
The comparison of Henry Fords $5 per day pay compared with todays minimum wage is bogus.
Todays typical auto factory worker is paid on average $20-25 per hour, plus benefits. There are no minimum wage workers at auto plants today.
Youth workers need a low enough minimum wage so businesses can hire and train them.

Second Chance: Will EPA's New Ozone Standard Follow the Science?
March 26th, 2014
This week the EPA's Clean Air Science Advisory Committee (CASAC) meets to discuss the science behind the national air pollution standard for ozone. The independent committee, which is comprised of air pollution and public health experts from a variety of institutions outside of the EPA, meets regularly to discuss the science on air pollution and health and to make recommendations to EPA on its air pollution rules. But this meeting in particular has greater interest from scientists, industry, and the public. Read More
A Conspiracy Theory Researcher Falls Victim to Conspiracy Theories: Intimidated Journal to Retract Lewandowsky Paper
March 21st, 2014
A social science journal will soon retract a paper not because the research is flawed but because the journal fears being exposed to legal risks under antiquated (and since corrected) British libel law, according to Desmogblog and the paper's lead author. Such a retraction would reflect badly on the journal and may set a terrible precedent. Papers should be withdrawn based on significant concerns with the quality of the research, not based on threats.

Ohio's Clean Energy Standards Still Under Attack by Fossil Fuel Special Interests
February 19th, 2014
The latest good news about clean energy in Ohio is that the state ranks #8 in the nation for solar jobs. But despite this, 2014 has not ushered in a new era of civility or honest debate about the merits of Ohio's clean energy standards that require a percentage of Ohio's electricity demand be met with renewable energy and energy efficiency. Instead, Bill Seitz, chair of the Ohio Senate Public Utilities Committee, started off the 2014 legislative session right where he left of last year: with misguided efforts to roll back Ohio's successful clean energy policies.

An Update on Scientific Integrity in Canada, and How Scientists In Other Countries Can Help
February 14th, 2014
In recent years, many Canadians have become more and more concerned about political interference in the work of Canadian government scientists, and a new report from PIPSC, the employee union that represents many of these scientists, provides little comfort that the situation will improve anytime soon. UCS has developed an open letter that allows non-Canadian scientists to show support for their Canadian government peers. You can read the letter and sign it here. Read More

Thanks to You, We Won The "Sound Science" Battle
January 29th, 2014
Yesterday, I was feeling both cynical and depressed about the state of affairs in Washington. The farm bill had been approved, but certainly it wasn't the ideal. While urging passing of the bill, our Food and Environment program, while appreciative of some of the progress it made, acknowledged its limitations and its unfulfilled potential. Many of us also are keenly aware that food stamp cuts of billions of dollars may compromise the well-being of tens of thousands of American families. Read More

You may be remembering to brush your teeth twice a day, but are you keeping tabs on how often you change your toothbrush?An article in US News and World Report draws attention to the importance of replacing a toothbrush regularly to maintain dental health.The American Dental Association recommends that you buy a new brush every three or four months - or when the bristles begin to wear out.It is also important to keep your toothbrush clean and rinse it after use. However, the ADA advises against more extreme measures such as putting it in the microwave or dishwater to kill germs."I wouldn't recommend anything like that," ADA consumer adviser Matthew Messina told the news provider. "You don't want to deform the toothbrush."Instead, the article suggests that you may want to use a toothbrush sanitizing product if you are concerned. It is also important not to share a toothbrush to avoid passing on germs.However, the ADA says that people should not worry about the normal bacteria found on toothbrushes being harmful to their health.

FMC Technologies Awarded $130 Million Subsea Separation And Boosting Contract For Petrobras' Congro And Corvina Fields
HOUSTON, May 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- FMC Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: FTI) announced today that it has been awarded a contract by Petrobras (NYSE: PBR, PBRA) to supply two subsea separation and boosting systems for the Congro and Corvina fields, located offshore Brazil in the Campos Basin. The contract has a value of approximately $130 million in revenue to FMC Technologies.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110503/DA94702)
In addition to a subsea gas/liquid separation and boosting system for each field, FMC's scope of supply includes two subsea manifolds that will each perform production and gas lift injection for 10 wells. Other equipment includes two subsea boosting module stations, pipeline tie-in equipment and subsea control systems. The control system incorporates an innovative subsea robotics technology, designed by Schilling Robotics, to operate the manifold and separation station valves. The equipment will be engineered and manufactured at FMC's facilities in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The Congro and Corvina project is FMC's fourth implementation of subsea processing technologies in Brazil, following phases I and II of Shell's Parque das Conchas (BC-10) field, and the state-of-the-art heavy oil separation and water re-injection system for Petrobras' Marlim field."The significance of this project is it will allow demobilization of one existing production platform and replace it with two subsea separation systems," said Tore Halvorsen, FMC's Senior Vice President of Global Subsea Production Systems. "This is a major milestone for subsea processing technologies and opens a new and attractive alternative solution to extend the life of mature fields and increase oil recovery." FMC Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:FTI) is a leading global provider of technology solutions for the energy industry. Named by FORTUNE® Magazine as the World's Most Admired Oil and Gas Equipment, Service Company in 2010, the Company has approximately 12,000 employees and operates 27 production facilities in 16 countries. FMC Technologies designs, manufactures and services technologically sophisticated systems and products such as subsea production and processing systems, surface wellhead systems, high pressure fluid control equipment, measurement solutions, and marine loading systems for the oil and gas industry.

Investigative Reporting, Without Getting Burned
Call it esprit de car.
Brian Ross' investigative reports on "runaway Toyotas" have led to two massive recalls, including Thursday's announcement of an additional 2.3 million vehicles to correct sticking accelerator pedals.
For Ross, ABC's chief investigative correspondent, the story is the gift that keeps on giving. But in a week dominated by the Haiti earthquake disaster and baby daddy John Edwards' mea culpa, Ross' latest scoop has had heavy competition.
No worries, says Ross, 61, who has won every journalistic award worth winning. Before joining ABC in 1994, he put in 20 years at NBC.
"It's the nature of our business," he says. "In a different week, it probably would have been a bigger deal. There's a lot going on. Everyone makes their own decisions on how much play to give any particular story. It's where your resources are."
There's no dearth of investigative resources at ABC, Ross says. News division chief David Westin has made "a solid commitment" to the 14-person investigative unit, according to Ross, and the unit's Website has undergone a major expansion that has led to several broadcast stories.
Going after big corporations is a tricky business, however, and Ross knows how easy it is to get burned. Literally.

Luxury retailer Ralph Lauren has embraced digital marketing, with elegantly profitable results.
Ralph Lauren Corp. Vice President David Lauren told the National Retail Federation Tuesday in New York that "We fuse art, fashion and technology …. It's about finding the right technology to help you tell the story."

NEW YORK - Ralph Lauren Corp. may be the retailer of choice for tradition-bound polo players and yacht dwellers, as its ubiquitous ads suggest.
But the iconic American luxury retailer is in some ways more geek than chic. From virtual fashion shows to interactive store windows, Ralph Lauren has embraced digital marketing to a degree that might surprise anyone familiar with its 44-year-old heritage.
That's likely the reason the National Retail Federation picked David Lauren, the company's executive vice president of advertising and marketing and son of Ralph Lauren, to deliver the keynote speech on using digital technologies to market an iconic luxury brand.
Lauren says he is not particularly tech-savvy, but he does understand how to use it to promote the company.
"We fuse art, fashion and technology," Lauren said. "There is no secret. It's about finding the right technology to help you tell the story."
Much of the credit for the company's digital strategy goes to Lauren, who bears more than a passing resemblance to his father.
His efforts seem to be paying off.
In November, the company said second-quarter sales jumped 24 percent to $1.7 billion while profits rose 13 percent to $235 million. Online sales increased 25 percent.
In some ways, Ralph Lauren is riding a general wave of success among American luxury retailers. Upscale stores like Nordstrom and Tiffany's have reported strong sales.
Ralph Lauren, in particular, represents "classic American fashion," which is "very much alive to the current sensibilities of upper-income shoppers," said Minneapolis-based retail consultant Flora Delaney.
But traditional luxury retailers like Ralph Lauren have also pursued smart, digital marketing strategies to broaden their customer base, she said.
"The high-end brands have the capital to invest" in new tech-driven campaigns, Delaney said. "In order to be relevant to shoppers, they need to be able to invest in the alternative channels to talk to their customers. You can't only stay relevant to the 40, 50-year-old and above crowd."
Under Lauren's leadership, the company has transformed itself into a cutting-edge, tech-driven fashion retailer.
Ralph Lauren has introduced 24-hour, touch-manipulated storefront windows inspired by the futuristic sci-fi thriller "Minority Report." The retailer has also developed iPhone apps that allows consumers to design outfits they and other shoppers can view and buy at a Ralph Lauren store.
In 2010, the retailer created a stir in London and New York with its Ralph Lauren "4D" event. The company beamed giant, high-resolution holographic images onto a building in which polo players morphed into perfume bottles. The retailer then released actual fragrances into the crowd.
Last year, Ralph Lauren ran ads on the New York Times' iPad app for an entire month that streamed live fashion events.
It might seem odd that a luxury retailer that sells itself on tradition should so enthusiastically embrace a mass medium like the Internet. But Lauren said he recognized early on how the Internet could really drive sales.
"Luxury brands were not on the Internet," Lauren said. "But we knew the Internet was not just a cheap place to get coupons."
During the U.S. Open tennis tournament, Ralph Lauren rolled out its virtual stores, essentially a row of branded kiosks, so "customers could get comfortable with the idea of buying a $5,000 tuxedo on the Internet," he said.
Lest anyone question whether any of these bells and whistles actually generated sales, consider this: For fiscal 2011, Ralph Lauren's total sales grew 14.3 percent to $5.5 billion while profits jumped 18.3 percent to $568 million.
Regardless of age, anyone "can buy our products if we excite them in the right way," Lauren said.

In no way is this a nexus device. I see nothing about it sporting ICS when it hits and no matter what it will have touchwiz along with a locked bootloader.
2. Sniggly (Posts: 7182; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)
If it still has hardware buttons then it's not the Galaxy Nexus. It may have similar hardware, but it's not the Nexus.
18. Lucas777 (Posts: 2137; Member since: 06 Jan 2011)
i agree.. although personally i like the hardware buttons much more than the software ones.. but isnt this like almost the exact same as gII and skyrocket already on att..
3. jove39 (Posts: 1326; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
No word about ICS and those capacitive buttons at bottom have left me thinking!
5. iankellogg (Posts: 155; Member since: 15 Jun 2011)
you can have hardware buttons in ICS.
6. jove39 (Posts: 1326; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
yeah...i understand that...but it doesn't make much sense to me...top+4.65" display+bottom(with buttons)...how long this phone is going to be...long like a tv remote ;)
7. andygallo (Posts: 39; Member since: 21 Oct 2011)
The bottom four capacitive buttons do not take up much space. On my friends Nexus, the bottom space where the capacitive buttons would be about the same as on my Galaxy S 2. So I imagine this would have the rough size/shape as the Nexus.
4. evolutionqy7 (Posts: 38; Member since: 27 May 2011)
Why do they make such long names...Will you either call it the galaxy 2 or the skyrocket. ..
8. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5644; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
aw lol! poor Skyrocket owners thinking they were better than Galaxy S II owners for waiting. xD
9. Netolic (Posts: 142; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
I even got the white one
17. Nathan (Posts: 84; Member since: 14 Jul 2011)
Same here! At least the only difference is an HD screen, if it comes out in white I will be super angry.
10. InspectorGadget80 (Posts: 6719; Member since: 26 Mar 2011)
Ill wait till or if AT&T gets the Galaxy Nexus my upgrade is due at the end of Feb. Or until i see A HTC ICS lands on AT&T
11. snowgator (Posts: 3284; Member since: 19 Jan 2011)
Wouldn't they just call it the Nexus? All the other carriers just call it the Nexus.
12. KingKurogiii (Posts: 5644; Member since: 23 Oct 2011)
it's not the Nexus. the only things they have in common is the display and LTE.
13. Jyakotu (Posts: 823; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)
That is a mouthful. Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket HD. If I'm not mistaken, can't you just purchased the unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus LTE model.? Would it work with AT&T's LTE or no.?
14. -box- (Posts: 3873; Member since: 04 Jan 2012)
I don't think the unlocked GSM Galaxy Nexus is LTE, which is what makes Verizon's version special, it's CDMA and LTE. I might be wrong though, haven't had a chance to check
15. Nathan (Posts: 84; Member since: 14 Jul 2011)
I just got the Sckyrocket in white and now there is one with an HD screen, buyer's remorse. :P Now I know how the HTC Titan owners feel about the Titan S with its 16mp camera.
16. skymitch89 (Posts: 1113; Member since: 05 Nov 2010)
There are 2 main things that make this device different from the Galaxy Nexus; the fact that this doesn't have ICS, and the fact that this has Samsung's TouchWiz UI. Just because it's similar hardware wise to the Galaxy Nexus doesn't make it At&t's version of the Galaxy Nexus.
19. richardyarrell2011 (banned) (Posts: 510; Member since: 16 Mar 2011)
Great FAKE...This far from the real Galaxy Nexus on Verizon. Others can fake all they want but the real deal resides on Verizon and nothing else comes close to comparing
22. TheTardisTraveller (Posts: 1; Member since: 24 Jan 2012)
Um buddy, The Galaxy Nexus made by Samsung and so is the GS2 Skyrocket. Why would Samsung try to fake their own phone. I do agree that the Skyrocket is pointless though, even though the Skyrocket has better specs I'd rather have the original GS2.
20. Martine (Posts: 102; Member since: 20 Oct 2011)
This writer is terrible. Next time do some research before jumping into rubbish conclusions.
This phone is not a Nexus device. Fact!
Samsung released two Galaxy SII variants late last year exclusive to South Korea in form of Galaxy SII LTE and Galaxy SII HD.
AT&T got Galaxy SII LTE as the Galaxy SII Skyrocket LTE and will now get the Galaxy SII HD this year as Galaxy SII Skyrocket HD.
Got it?
21. Elwhite1 (Posts: 2; Member since: 11 Jan 2012)
My question is will it have ANDROID Ice Cream sandwich (4.0) like the Verizon Nexus. On the description page it has it using Android 2.3. Android 4.0 is kinda the whole point of getting the Nexus, without it, its just a minor upgrade to the GS2 Skyrocket.

The Department of Transportation should have legislation drafted to allow Mexican trucks to operate in the United States by the time President Obama visits Mexico on April 16 and 17, according to a department spokesman.
The administration has called on DOT, the State Department and the U.S. Trade Representative to devise a plan to continue cross-border trucking after Congress on March 11 terminated a pilot program in the 2009 omnibus appropriations bill.
After Congress pulled the plug on the pilot, Mexico retaliated with tariffs on U.S. goods totaling some $2.4 billion.
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, during her visit to Mexico last week, said the administration was "making progress" to resolve the dispute to the satisfaction of members of Congress.
Earlier in the week, DOT Secretary Ray LaHood told reporters that the administration was working on a plan, and he was on Capitol Hill to discuss it with lawmakers.

Toyota Camry Hybrid Is A Nearly Perfect Car
Why is Toyota about to become the worlds number-one automaker? Look no further than the 2007 Camry Hybrid.
Its an incredible combination of fuel economy, roominess, and fit and finish. About all thats missing is a sense of the automotive character found in competitors or in the sibling Prius Hybrid.
But enough people seem not to mind that the Camry has been the best-selling car in America for most of the past decade.
The hybrid premium runs about $2,400 more than a similar gas-engine-only Camry. You get a four-cylinder gas engine, electric motors/generators at the two front wheels, a continuously variable transmission, and a big nickel-metal hydride battery pack that takes up a quarter of the trunk.

Do you love ribs, but hate the sickly sweet and jammy sauces to go with them? If you do, I have just the recipe for you! These ribs are savoury rather than sweet and have a complex mixture of spices.. Without being spicy!! You can always add chilli if you wish! I know I did!
Around 1kg of Pork/Lamb/Beef Ribs
Salt and Black Pepper to taste
2 Teaspoons of Smoked Paprika,Garlic Powder/Crushed, Cumin, Dried Oregano, Pimento Seeds, and *Ajwain Seeds.
Quarter Cup of Rice Wine
Vinegar to clean meat
Bicarbonate of Soda for extra tender meat-I'm not sure what it does, but it really does help to tenderize meat.. Don't add too much though otherwise the meat may be bitter and taste like soap!
Firstly, clean the ribs in vinegar and water,removing any extra fat with a knife. Leave to drain then lay them out in the baking dish and sprinkle on the seasonings, except the pimento and ajwain seeds. Get a dry pan and place the pimento and ajwain seeds in the pan. Toast the spices until they pop or for 2-3 minutes. Grind(coarsely grind) and sprinkle the mixture and 1 teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda over the meat. Pour rice wine and rub seasonings into meat. Place ribs in a roasting tin and add one cup of water, covering with foil cook on 180° heat;turning after 30 minutes… You can take the foil off if the ribs are becoming tender during this period. If not,leave for 20 minutes more. Turn up the heat to 210° and spoon the broth over the meat to keep moist. Keep doing this every now and then. When the broth has reduced and the ribs have become tender, it is ready to serve. Serve with a variety of sides dishes,including coleslaw. Disfrutalo!!
*Ajwain Seeds are from the lovage plant and are used in many Indian dishes.. It tastes like thyme in raw form, but nutty when toasted.

Liverpool and Newcastle United are through to the group stage of the UEFA Europa League after securing 2-1 aggregate victories against Heart of Midlothian and Atromitos respectively.
Liverpool have Luis Suarez to thank for a late winner that secured their qualification for the UEFA Europa League group stage.
Brendan Rodgers's side looked destined to qualify by virtue of their own goal in Edinburgh last week until Hearts silenced the Anfield faithful with five minutes to go when David Templeton's weak shot slipped through Pepe Reina's body and into the net.
With the scores level on aggregate and extra time looming, however, Suarez embarked on a mazy run down the left and beat Jamie McDonald at his near post to produce an 88th-minute winner.
It was a similarly nervy ride for Newcastle who survived two scares before securing their safe passage into today's draw in Monaco.
After replacing the injured Ryan Taylor early in the first half, midfielder Haris Vuckic gave the Magpies the lead on 21 minutes with his first goal for the club.
Newcastle, who drew 1-1 in the frst leg in Athens, then survived a penalty appeal just before half-time when Chumbinho tumbled under a challenge by Tim Krul, and in the second half Elini Dimoutsos missed the target when clean through on goal.
The hosts held out, though, and can now look forward to a sustained taste of European competition.
The UEFA Europa League group stage draw takes place at 12.00BST at the Grimaldo Forum, Monaco.

Save the dates
Twinkling Hearts Save the Date Magnets I ordered save the date magnets and can't say a bad thing. Only thing I can say is, its not listed that envelopes automatically come with the magnets (at least I didn't see that) so I purchased them thinking I of course need them, but I didn't need too. So I kind of wasted $20. But overall so cute. :)
Great Purchase!
Twinkling Hearts Save the Date Magnets We ordered save the date magnets through Magnet Street and were very impressed!
