"Welcome IBM. Seriously" Blared the headline in full page ads paid for by Apple "welcoming" IBM to the personal computer industry. The ad copy was in fact tongue-in-cheek. Apple's real meaning was to tweak IBM for introducing the IBM PC years after the first Apple II and to remind readers that Apple was the more established, experienced and by inference, more trustworthy supplier.
Fast forward several decades from the launch of the IBM PC in 1981 and the computing landscape is dominated by mobile devices that were hardly imagined back in the day.
And now, with this weeks' big news, it's IBM welcoming Apple to the enterprise (for real) thanks to an alliance that will see Big Blue develop over a hundred enterprise apps for the iPad and iPhone in specific vertical markets such as retail, healthcare and banking. IBM will also sell and lease iOS devices to its corporate customers and Apple will offer an enterprise version of its AppleCare support services.
While the partnership is about mobile, analyst Jack Gold says the iPad is key to the deal – more so than the iPhone.
"If you look at the apps IBM is focused on they're more suited to big screen than small screen devices. It's about being able to do things like using ERP data to be able to make a better sale to my clients. These kind of apps will be more useful on a bigger screen," Gold, principal analyst at J.Gold Associates, said in an interview with TabTimes.
He also notes that enterprises are more likely to pay for tablet apps which have a better perceived value from an enterprise perspective.
In fact, most analysts responded positively to the announcement, declaring it the proverbial 'win-win' for both companies.
"Apple gets IBM to endorse its products in the enterprise to make sure they play nice with back end systems," says Gold. "Co-selling the solutions helps both companies expand their markets. Apple gains a co-selling opportunity, but more importantly IBM to back them up in support services for the enterprise, an area Apple is weak in."
The news is also an admission by Apple that it doesn't have the resources or perhaps more accurately an interest in providing the kind of comprehensive support enterprise customers are used to from the likes of IBM, HP and Dell.
Despite that, enterprise customers have been banging on Apple's door asking for more. Ironically, Microsoft further validated the iPad's enterprise worthiness when it finally released iPad versions of Office apps earlier this.
Welcome to the enterprise Apple. Seriously.

There is nothing the world needs more than a surprised Patrick Star meme featured in random pop culture images. This Sponge Bob Square Pants cult character has spread like wildfire throughout the Internet. The concept is simple. Take a picture or a gif, and simply Photoshop a surprised Patrick Star in the middle of it. The more unexpected and surprised Patrick Star is, the better.
While some people might think that photobombing was something of the past, Patrick Star seems to be an exception to that rule. Perhaps it's the audience's emotional connection to Patrick Star, or maybe it's just another way to ridicule movies and celebrities in a humorous way.
One thing is for certain, the popularity of humorous memes online will continue to dominate within modern day pop culture for a while to come.

Okay I have access to about 3-5 acres…. Of land that quite frankly is over grown with prairie grass and a several to lots of cedar; this being about as big as they have gotten; not over 3 – 4 feet…. My question is rather than turn all the area over because I'd have to have some one come in and do it. But I can use an auger to drill the hills and set the out that way…
Would this work or would you recommend clearing the area and having it turned? And leave the tree until this fall; winter; and then take them out and turn in the fall. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Not that familiar with KS. Were you planning to put the whole 5 acres in punkins? Gee. Linus would be SOOO happy. But if you can rent a large chipper, you could probably chip up those saplings in a weekend. I used a tractor mounted auger once. Are cedar saplings hard to rip out? Could you use the auger to loosen up the soil? If they're as bad as Sumac saplings it would be lots of work any other way. Anyway, it's a large area to deal with. You could plant them in hills, sure. But a hill should be about the area of three auger holes, I'd think. Only problem is, punkins need water. Five acres of punkins would need several tons of water. How's your rainfall? The no-till movement is sound, although it's a bit hard to imagine caring for punkins in that kind of overgrowth. What about mowing the rows? You've got enough space, you can leave ten feet between rows and keep the weeds down with a tractor that has a belly mower. If the ground is uneven, though, it might be best to have it plowed once to level the playing field.... If you want to suppress weeds, chip up the cedar and use it to mulch the punkin hills. And then it'll be a truly SINCERE punkin patch. |

I bought a treadmill from a friend of mine. It's hardly been used and is in really good shape. The only issue I am having is under the front roller where the belt wraps around is a plastic/rubber liner that wont stay put. Every time I get on the treadmill it slides over to the right and ends up all clumped together and grinds again the end of the treadmill. I was on it Sunday and a huge piece of it came flying off and it was burning hot.
I have tried and tried to get a hold of Proform with no luck. Any ideas? |

She bought it from ProForm. I finally got a hold of them this afternoon, the wait time is horrible but they told me it's some kind of belt that needs to be replaced so I ordered a new one. The fun part will be putting it on...you have to tear the treadmill apart to get to the darn thing. Thanks for the suggestion. I have really enjoyed using it and am just frustrated that I have to wait. :0) |

Brody Jenner Wants to Take Out Eddie Cibrian -- in Online Poker (EXCLUSIVE)
After Eddie Cibrian crashed Brody Jenner's car at the Toyota's Pro/Celebrity Race last month in Long Beach, Calif., the reality star, 28, is ready for a payback.
But instead of hitting the race track again, the entrepreneur wants to take out Cibrian -- at the poker tables.
The poker enthusiast, who just launched a new free-to-play online casino for Facebook called RocketFrog, told Celebuzz he hopes LeAnn Rimes' husband, 38, will take the challenge.
"He's a good guy, but he took me out. I was going for victory," Brody said, in an exclusive interview.
"I'm still a little upset about that," he said, adding that Eddie would likely "crash and burn" at the poker tables.
Of course, it's all in good clean fun.
Jenner has taken the poker world by storm playing in various charity poker tournaments and the World Series of Poker. Now he is looking to make a name for himself as a start-up entrepreneur with the launch of RocketFrog, a Vegas-style game on Facebook where users can play such games as poker, blackjack and slots.
With his new online venture, the former Princes of Malibu star hopes the venture will become the largest free-to-play social casino on the web and will ultimately see him follow in Ashton Kutcher's foot steps.
The That '70s Show actor is an avid online entrepreneur, reportedly investing $1 million+ in several startups like Blekko, Optimizely, Flipboard and Nowmov.
The ex-husband of Demi Moore also sits on the board as an advisor for a handful of other companies as well.
"I've always been a big fan of Ashton. He has always been one step ahead with online programs," Jenner said.
"I wanted to do something myself and figured this was one to jump into because I really enjoying playing casino style poker games online... and this game gives people a chance to really win great prizes while playing for free."

Very heavily-treed campground. If you need sunshine this park is not for you. Don't get me wrong, this is a beautiful area. Very close walking distance to the ocean, with a beach that goes forever.

Interior roads are very narrow and some are two way, so if you meet someone with another unit, some one may have to back up. There is cable TV in some sights, section C I think. Good play ground for the kids, rest rooms were clean and well maintained, lots of park Hosts. You walk to the beach under highway 101, so no sights are ocean front. We will stay here again. Would have rated it higher if the access roads were a bit wider. - b7xv

Spaces are very close together and unlevel. No view of water but close to the marina in Newport. Won't be staying here again. - ckharvey
Nice campground. It is a combination of permanent and transient campers and all units are fairly new and/or well maintained. The staff is super friendly and very efficient. Baths and showers aren't lavish, but they are maintained and clean. - cactuslady
The camp host makes this park stand out from the rest. The host visited all campers and suggests attractions, views, hikes, and even specific dishes at different restraints. While the campground is not in the woods, the clean and modern laundry, showers, and proximity to attractions makes it a great place to visit. - Al and Carol

We stayed here for a month and the price reflects the monthly rate. We were in Lincoln City and had planned to continue our four month trip in central and eastern Oregon but it was so hot there we decided to hang out on the coast. Moved down to Newport and absolutely loved it. We had an ocean view site in the upper tier that was extremely spacious. The ocean front spot in front of us was not being rented and we had an unobstructed view of the ocean and lighthouse. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained. The clubhouse has everything you need from a large indoor pool, sauna, Jacuzzi, rec room, fitness center, community room and laundry. Easy access to stunning beach. We found everyone, including owners, to be very friendly and helpful. We had no trouble with hookups and Wi-Fi worked well for us most of the time. The digital cable box you need to check out to use cable makes it an extremely difficult proposition, requiring us to buy a second coax cable and running it out our living room window. However, we found the TV antennae worked extremely well and opted for that instead along with satellite. Considering everything, felt the price was worth it and would love to go back. - VegasVagabonds
First, beautiful location. HOA is basically privatizing this RV park. WiFi is virtually non-existent & the HOA is letting it go away with their switching to cable for both TV & internet. But, this only works for the owners. As for TV, if you can get behind your TV to plug in the loaned "box", you're good to go. But, if like our RV, you cannot access the back of the TV without taking apart the wood surround, you're out of luck. Maintenance is getting shabby. The plantings on the ocean front have been butchered for improved view lines for a couple of owners while the rest is overgrown. Rather than mulch or dispose of the planting waste, everything including concrete chunks, pavers, dirt, dug up sod, etc. has been piled up in a section of the park that is very visible and an eyesore. This is not what it was before as the HOA owners struggle to keep this going while a large number of the owners have their lots for sale. - Sabil
Nice resort, well done, have an ocean view - great. Assume all amenities are clean, etc. Negatives: 50amp breaker did not work. For this size and cost, one would assume a maintenance worker on site to repair or at least an on-call electrician. No, I had to call the electric company and they won't be here for 24 to 48 hours. Bizarre. But the worst thing, that did not impact us, is if you reserve an ocean view and the owner decides he wants to come up for a stay, you have to move. Not good. But yes, we would certainly return. - Novatz

Arrived without a reservation, but was able to get a site. I paid for one night. I was ill on the planned day of departure, so I called the office and they initially told me that we would probably have to move to another site, as the space I was in was booked for that night. However, they were able to contact the person who had the booking, and that person agreed to take another site, so I didn't have to move. I feel that the folks in the office here went above and beyond what was required or even expected. I didn't even have to go to the office to pay for the additional day; they let me pay the next day before we departed.
I can't say enough good things about this park -- it had everything I needed, and the service was superior. We had beautiful views of the bay and the bridge, great dog-walking area, and the marina store was near our site. I heartily recommend this park as a stopover or destination for a longer vacation. - gfs1943
Not visually attractive, but pretty good park. Didn't use showers, but laundry was very nice. Campground host was a great help. Good restaurants nearby, brewery and fishing pier within walking distance. - User3119
We traveled here with an organized tour, so didn't make arrangements or pay by the night. I really enjoyed the campground. Sites were paved and flat, and roads through the park were adequate. We were parked in a "drive in - back out" site which was lovely, in a motorhome. I am betting the reviewer who rated the park a "1" had to back in to one of these sites on the perimeter with his fifth wheel, and then hook-ups would be on the wrong side. There are nice walks outside of the park for dogs, but no dig park. The Wi-Fi was inadequate. I enjoyed hearing sea lions and fog horns instead of traffic noise and railroad trains for a change! - Dreaming

If you like crabbing and/or fishing, this is the place to go. Newport is fairly close. Very run down, gravel road in park. Staff helpful. Fire rings available in sites. Cell reception/WiFi excellent. - tudugger
Rustic describes the park if you are site 1-12; very poor if you are in the other sites. They are more like a storage lot. Our site had 50-amp FHU but some have 30-amp in this area. We faced the river 20' away. Fire ring, cable at site. Road is approx 50' behind the rig. Almost no traffic on the road that follows the river bank 4 miles from town. Office and other guests extremely friendly. Nightly rate over priced for the facility and distance to town. Sites are rather close. Would return if in the area. If you have a boat and want to fish they are equipped for your visit. - Workamper04

Beautiful rugged park. You can hear the surf, smell the salt -lovely. The park loops are paved and some spaces are hard to back into as they are at right angles to the loop roads. The park is a typical Oregon state park although an older one. It's well maintained and clean. - clecogirl
Very nice campground, but a lot of short sites and larger sites that are tricky to get into because of trees and low-hanging branches. They are very particular that you park any vehicles on the asphalt, so make sure when you make a reservation that you choose a site that is long enough to accommodate both. I was able to get in and out of my site fairly easily, although I had to park more to one side than I like so a branch would not interfere with my slide. Very large motorhomes might have problems. Lots of excellent bike trails in the park and a gorgeous beach within a 1/4 to a 1/2 mile hike or bike ride. There is a marine science center and aquarium also within bike riding distance, which was nice. - judy_online
This park has a beautiful Lake that has a swimming hole, for family , and a dock, for fishing. Kid friendly park, for pets and the family. We stayed here in a 36 ft 5th wheel and had no problem parking. Great park, to camp in! I would stay here again! - tandjb2

Click / tap on the photo to see present day view. (T&G Staff / PAUL KAPTEYN)
WORCESTER -- "Progress" in urban street design usually translates into amenities such as drive-through banking centers and multi-level parking garages, as the recent photograph of Pearl Street shows.
What a difference from this 1884 photo of the same stretch of roadway.
Gone, for example, are the 19th century buildings that once housed the local post office and the quarters for local Masons.
A good portion of the left side of the street is now taken up by a Commerce Bank drive-through and a parking lot. On the opposite side, a lighted parking sign beckons motorists who might be interested in using the municipal parking garage.
Two landmarks, however, remain fixtures.
At the top of the photo sits the former Chestnut Street Congregational Church.
The structure — modeled on Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris — was designed by noted Worcester architects Stephen Earle and Clellan Fisher.
The building was bought in 2004 by the evangelical Liberty Church. Congregants once again worship in the church and the building through the New England Dream Center, a spinoff of the church that hosts programs for youths and those who need help.
The historic Bull Mansion is just to the left of the church.
The Victorian gothic residence was designed by Calvert Vaux, a prominent New York City architect, and was sold in 1912 to the Grand Army of the Republic, an association of Civil War veterans.
Over the last couple of decades, there have been unsuccessful efforts to establish eateries in the building.
It was purchased earlier this year by the same nonprofit group that bought the Chestnut Street Congregational Church. The new owner was interested in establishing a culinary arts training center at the site.

"F.W.J. Schelling's Deities of Samothrace"
Professor David Farrell Krell, Visiting Professor in German Studies and Distinguished Visiting Fellow at the Cogut Center, is the author of The Tragic Absolute: German Idealism and the Languishing of God (2005), and Contagion: Sexuality, Disease, and Death in German Idealism and Romanticism (Indiana, 1998).
In 1815, at the height of his powers, Schelling delivered an address to the Bavarian Academy of Sciences on the ancient Greek mystery cult practiced on the island of Samothrace. He later added a long series of notes to his lecture—more than doubling its length—and published it. The Deities of Samothrace is remarkable for a number of reasons: first, it represents the high point of Schelling's systematic philosophy and points to his plans for future work; second, it is one of the most compelling accounts we have of the cult of the Cabiri and "the Great Gods"; third, the issues it raises have much to do with contemporary discussions in archaeology, history of religion, theology, philosophy, and feminism.

Professor Dirk Oschmann is the author of Auszug aus der Innerlichkeit. Das literarische Werk Siegfried Kracauers (1999); Bewegliche Dichtung. Sprachtheorie und Poetik bei Lessing, Schiller und Kleist (2007); and Friedrich Schiller (2009). His talk, based on a book-in-progress, challenges the widely-held assumption that Kafka's work presents forms of estrangement and self-estrangement exclusively. What has not been understood is that, in Kafka's world, the concept of freedom itself is the dialectical other of the strangeness of estrangement. Oschmann's talk will explicate this systematic relation with respect to Kafka's great novel fragments, The One Who Sank out of Sight (a.k.a. Amerika), The Trial, and The Castle.

"Totality and its Discontents: Aesthetics and Politics in Richard Wagner and Sergei Eisenstein"
Dieter Thomä (U. of St. Gallen, Switzerland), Max Kade Distinguished Visiting Professor of German Studies
In 1939 the Russian filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein directed Richard Wagner's "Valkyrie" in Moscow. An entry in his notebook from this period reads as follows: "What is fascistic in this play, I wonder?" This uncanny episode from the years of the Hitler-Stalin-Pact, which carries heavy political import, also stands for an encounter between the main representatives of the total work of art ("Gesamtkunstwerk") in opera and film. This lecture will analyze the Moscow production and address the broad set of political and aesthetic questions shared by Eisenstein and Wagner. Among the issues discussed are: the masses and the individual; order and decadence; the loss of perspective and the (filmic) "shot."
The lecture also is a contribution to the celebration of the 200th anniversary of Wagner's birth this year.

Wed. Apr 19th - Closing Session: Keynote speaker Petra McGillen (Dartmouth)
The GICG sponsored colloquium series (organized by a group of German Studies graduate students) investigates how forms of aberration, resistance, and deferral open up a discursive space in which invention and thought can thrive unencumbered; they constitute the creative potentiality from which every new thought and narration emerge. In this context, the series looks at a number of literary works that have shaped the western canon, such as Homer's Odyssee, Dante's Divine Comedy, Sterne's Tristram Shandy.
Graduate International Colloquium Grants (GICG) support collaborative campus-based activites that strengthen or expand Brown University's connection with the wider world of academic knowledge production, or that will provide new international perspectives on graduate students' ongoing work. Grants have and continue to support various events, such as individual visiting speakers, speaker series, workshops, or small conferences.

"The Miracle of the Dancing Ball: Walter Benjamin, Mechanical Mysticism and the Apocalyptic Epistemology Of Changing Everything, All At Once"
This seminar will consist in a close philosophical reading of Benjamin's short story "Rastelli Narrates" and its accompanying sources and parallels. These enigmatic texts will be placed against the broader background of the modern question of mind and machine and the spiritual automaton that animates some of this author's most telling meditations on the fate of the political in general, and of its critical method and orientation, namely historical materialism and theology, in particular. We will take issue with some recent discussions of Benjamin's stance (notably by Giorgio Agamben and Eric Santner) and aim to resituate him squarely within the much older tradition of the theologico-political that he was one of the first to expose to the unprecedented problems raised by the new technologies of contemporary media.
Speaker Hent deVries will conduct a master seminar for faculty and invited graduate students. Assigned reading required prior to day of seminar. Those who would like to join the Master Seminar must contact Humanities Center.

Digital Faust, Digital Editions
Lecture by Fotis Jannidis, University of Würzburg
The Digital Faust Edition is an extremely ambitious piece of digital scholarship, involving the representation of complex relationships among manuscripts and detailed tracking of Goethe's revision process. The edition is being prepared using the TEI Guidelines and has contributed substantially to the creation of a new TEI module for manuscript editing. In addition, the Faust Edition is working with several major tool-building initiatives including InterEdition and
Juxta, both of which focus on developing tools for collating, comparing, and visualizing textual data for digital scholarly editions. This presentation will offer a look at the design and encoding process and the editorial theory underlying this massive work.
Fotis Jannidis is Professor and Chair for German and Digital Literary Studies at the University of Würzburg, where he also is one of the directors of the Digital Faust Edition.

FREEDOM WITHOUT WALLS "West meets East – Past Experiences and Current Challenges" Reiner Möckelmann, Consul General Reiner Möckelmann, Retired West German Diplomat and Director of Summer School Wust 7:00 pm, Joukowsky Forum at the Watson Institute Consul General Reiner Möckelmann, a former West German diplomat, who held posts at the embassies in Moscow, Belgrad, Vienna, Lima, Ankara and as Consul General in Istanbul, will lecture about his experiences working for the embassy during the Cold War and now since 2006 as Director of the Summer School Wust located in former East Germany. This school was founded in order to give educational opportunities to former citizens of the GDR. Consul Möckelmann's career was influenced greatly by the existence of the Berlin Wall. Due to security reasons, as a western diplomat he did not enter East Germany except in transit to Moscow. Upon his retirement, he assumed the Directorship of the Wust Summer School and celebrated the twentieth anniversary of the fall of the wall at the school this summer by hosting prominent figures from politics and law who were participants in the 'peaceful revolution' and members of formal roundtable negotiations in eastern Germany in 1989-1990. Brown University's German Studies Professor Kay Goodman was a founder of this summer school. Each summer, two to three Brown students travel to Wust to work as instructors at the summer school and to live with families in the village. Sponsored by the C. V. Starr Lectureship Fund |

Brown University has a long tradition of exchanges with former East Germany (German Democratic Republic). In 1979, the first exchange between any university in the US and in the GDR was established between Brown and the Wilhelm Pieck University in Rostock, East Germany. Undergraduate and graduate students as well as faculty from such disciplines as English, medicine, physics, chemistry and German participated in this exchange. This exchange grew to be the largest exchange program between a US and an East German university. About one hundred students participated in the semester or year program, and many more in the summer programs. Another fifty or so faculty members also regularly participated. The exchange took place between libraries as well, which led to Brown having an extensive collection of holdings relating to the GDR. The Warren Alpert School of Medicine at Brown University still maintains an exchange with the medical school in Rostock. In this roundtable, Professors emeriti Duncan Smith and William Crossgrove from Brown's Department of German Studies along with Professor Marilyn Rueschemeyer from the Watson Institute will reflect on these exchanges and on their own research on the topic. |

A peaceful revolution had forced the Wall open. What is the significance of the fall of the wall? What does it mean to students born twenty years ago? To present and future generations, the fall of the Berlin Wall sends a universal message of hope. It reminds us that peaceful change remains possible even where hard line regimes reign. It reminds us that freedom will prevail. |
