Press Release - Disney's Hollywood Studios official announcement
Aug 09, 2007 |
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. (Aug. 9, 2007) -- In the Walt Disney World theme park famous for all things Hollywood, it's curtain up on the launch of new attractions, new looks, new breakthrough experiences...
...and a brand-new name.
Disney-MGM Studios will be renamed Disney's Hollywood Studios, effective January 2008, announced Meg Crofton, president of Walt Disney World Resort.
"The new name reflects how the park has grown from representing the golden age of movies to a celebration of the new entertainment that today's Hollywood has to offer -- in music, television, movies and theater," she said.
Framed by the park's supporting cast of classic Hollywood architecture are shows and attractions straight from contemporary Hollywood, such as Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, "Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show" and many more. Disney's Hollywood Studios is also the place to meet favorite character stars of today including Lightning McQueen and Mater from Disney-Pixar's "Cars," Power Rangers and Little Einsteins.
With exciting coming attractions and experiences, the best and brightest of Hollywood is about to emerge for park guests, Crofton said.
"As Disney continues to grow and invest in our family entertainment business, we constantly explore new ways to deliver high-quality, immersive experiences for our guests," she added. "As a park all about entertainment, Disney's Hollywood Studios will deliver like never before. Now we can say that Hollywood is literally our middle name."
New Attractions, Experiences
Toy Story Mania! Guests get sporty in a new, interactive "Toy Story" competition inspired by Disney-Pixar's "Toy Story" films and hosted by characters like they've never before experienced. Past a queuing area featuring a giant Mr. Potato Head, guests grab 3-D glasses, board fanciful ride vehicles and zip into a world of exciting midway-style games hosted by many of their favorite "Toy Story" characters including Woody, Hamm and Rex. Once inside "Andy's Toy Box," the competition heats up. Who can rack up the most points? Using spring-action shooters, guests launch darts at balloons, rings at aliens, eggs at whimsical barnyard targets. Toy Story Mania! takes the interactive ride-game experience to infinity -- and beyond. (summer 2008)
"Block Party Bash." Play, party and dance as the Disney-Pixar Film Pals present "Block Party Bash," the wildest, most interactive parade in Disney history. New to Disney's Hollywood Studios, "Block Party Bash" will invite guests to rock to retro tunes, be dazzled by high-flying acrobatics and join in the fun as more than 20 partying Disney-Pixar Film Pals fill the theme park streets. This immersive rolling spectacle will feature favorite characters from "The Incredibles," "Toy Story 2," "Monsters, Inc." and "A Bug's Life." (spring 2008, replaces "Disney Stars and Motor Cars" parade)
"Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage!" A whole new cast of friends from Playhouse Disney fills the popular Playhouse Disney stage. Children will be on their feet singing, clapping and dancing to performing stars from "Mickey Mouse Clubhouse," "Little Einsteins," "Handy Manny" and more. ("Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage!" will be dark most of January 2008, reopens February 2008)
"Disney High School Musical 2: School's Out!" With new songs and a rollicking new spirit, the Disney Channel Original Movie "High School Musical 2" comes to life on the streets of Disney's Hollywood Studios. It is interactive fun as high-energy performers on a traveling stage invite all ages to catch Wildcat fever by singing and dancing. (fall 2007, replaces "High School Musical Pep Rally")
Meet and Greet Adds Handy Manny. And what would a Disney theme park be without characters? Disney's Hollywood Studios is center stage for character meet and greets. Disney Channel stars JoJo and Goliath and the Little Einsteins welcome guests in the Animation Courtyard next to "Playhouse Disney-Live on Stage!" and will be joined for the first time by Handy Manny later this year. (November 2007)
Part of the Disney's Hollywood Studios magic includes events for which the park is famous. To a stellar lineup including ABC Super Soap Weekend, the Osborne Family Spectacle of Dancing Lights, ESPN the Weekend and Star Wars Weekends, the park reprises the Playhouse Disney in Concert series with dynamic concerts and special entertainment for little ones.
Headliners include favorite children's acts The Doodlebops, Imagination Movers, Dan Zanes and Friends, and Johnny and the Sprites. The fun happens on select dates Aug. 30-Oct. 28, 2007, during Little Ones Travel Time in a 10,000 square foot, air-conditioned performance venue. For the complete show schedule: disneyworld.com/pdic.
In addition, holidays at Disney's Hollywood Studios will have a special sparkle this year as the park hosts the Harlem Gospel Choir Nov. 30-Dec. 25, 2007.
"This is easily one of the most ambitious attractions rollouts in the 18-year history of the park," Crofton said. "With so many great coming attractions, we are thrilled to be launching a Studios year unlike any other. Wrapped in a brand-new name...Disney's Hollywood Studios."

beautiful relaxing autumn getaway vacation
I went with my family this fall to the camp for the first time. The nature was stunning, red and gold forest and beautiful foliage. My family are big into nature so this was perfect for us. We went on lots of long hikes in the hills and swam in the - very clean!- lake every morning. The camp is beautiful and has a really special atmosphere. The rooms are clean and well decorated- and the manager very friendly and helpful. I would definitely recommend, and I look forward to going back.
Lovely & Secluded!
First I must mention Karen was a pleasure to work with! She made it very easy to accommodate and book our family vacation. She was wonderful which made booking our vacation hassle-free. The Andrews home on the pond is beautiful! Very clean and very comfortable! The charm and appeal of the home was amazing. The layout/design made it unique to the lake. Love how the master bedroom had its own slider to the wraparound porch. Plenty of room for our family of five. Beds were very comfortable and house was tastefuly decorated. This home is also truly secluded. Very few neighboring homes and the peace and quiet allows you to hear the loons while you relax & de-stress. Our kids swam to the raft everyday except one (rain day). We kayaked and took in the peace and beauty of the pond each morning. We had ping-pong games, played cards and enjoyed the DVD/VHS movies as well. We also roasted hotdogs and made s'mores :-) The trail to the dock was awesome - the bridge over a tiny creek was the same design as the wraparound porch of the home. = very nice. We enjoyed the nature too. The kids were fascinated with the loons. The brochure you had about them on the desk was quite informative. We saw frogs, fish and spiders. Thank you for a wonderful vacation! This home is well-managed, beautiful and a serene place to enjoy!
We rented the Barn camp and had a blast. The 4 of us met the renters in the other Overlake Camp one night we were out playing the guitar. They next thing we knew they joined in with a banjo, guitars, mandolin, & cello. We were all singing country and lovin it. People were coming over from around the lake to make the night something to remember. Wow! What a blast. The place was very neat and clean. Very rustic. No tv or radio, but we didnt need it. We rented a boat and loved the lake. We also found Mosher Hill Falls. It was beautiful. Thanks for a great time.

Deceive – to mislead by a false appearance or statement
By now, in 2015, most of the general public over the age of 21 have been using Google, Facebook and LinkedIn for nearly a decade. During that time, they've acclimated to the culture of each of these online universes, and grown as adept in distinguishing casual informational websites and biographical profiles and chatty personal exchanges from paid advertising as a seasoned world traveler in recognizing an American tourist.
Yet while the majority of online users with an IQ over 80 understand the prevailing online social order, apparently bar regulators do not. So like imperialists swooping in to "civilize" native colonies, comes now the 100-year old New York County Bar Association (NYCLA) to inflict its ethics rules on LinkedIn through the issuance of Formal Opinion 748 . As summarized by Allison Shields and Nicole Black, Formal Opinion 748 purports to offer lawyers guidance on when a LinkedIn profile constitutes advertising and when it doesn't. Not surprisingly, this devolves into an exercise in hair-splitting: pure biographical information consisting only of one's education and employment history isn't advertising, but a description of practice areas, skills, endorsements – and even a detailed description of work performed for a former employer is. And of course, as we all know, once the regulators classify something as advertising, we can't disseminate it to the public without first marking it with a big scarlet A, er – disclaimer.
And therein lies the problem. Because slapping the phrase "this constitutes lawyer advertising" in the context of the LinkedIn universe causes MORE confusion for the public. When potential clients see a scarlet "A" on a lawyer profile, they're going to assume that the lawyer paid for the ad and that it's inherently less truthful than the other non-advertorial profiles on LinkedIn. Worse, users are likely to draw inaccurate conclusions – either that the lawyer is doing well enough to pay for a spendy ad on LinkedIn, or is so desperate that he can't find clients without paying for social media exposure. Either way, requiring lawyers to include an advertising disclaimer on an otherwise ordinary LinkedIn listing has the effect of "misleading by creating a false appearance" and therefore, is deceptive.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
City ethics watchdog needed -- but unlikely
Saturday's column calling for the creation of an integrity commissioner at city hall prompted another call that morning.
Jenny Gerbasi, city council's most vocal opponent of Mayor Sam Katz, rang my cellphone to remind me of something. City council, at her request, has already passed a motion calling on the province to create a "conflict-of-interest commissioner," which is an integrity commissioner by another name.
Originally, Gerbasi had called for the creation of an ethics watchdog with bite in the fall of 2008, when Katz's close friend and now Winnipeg CAO Phil Sheegl was introduced to city hall as the planning, property and development director.
It took a year, but in the fall of 2009 Gerbasi got her "conflict-of-interest commissioner" motion passed by one vote. The mayor was among a half-dozen dissenting members of city council who found themselves on the losing side.
It was a stunning victory.
Not that it mattered.
The NDP government -- which has a conflict-of-interest commissioner position of its own -- ignored city council's desperate plea for someone to watch over them.
So why was the province so dismissive of council's call for help to put an integrity or conflict-of-interest commissioner in place?
After all, the Selinger government went along with another request in the same motion, strengthening City of Winnipeg ethics laws by amending the Municipal Conflict of Interest Act.
Ironically, the province's answer -- that the city could create its own position of ethics commissioner -- is a betrayal of public trust in its own way.
And a gutless one at that.
Ontario didn't abandon its duty as the senior government when Toronto city council needed similar help a few years earlier.
In 2006, using the City of Toronto Act, Ontario created an integrity commissioner to advise city councillors on ethical behaviour, and to investigate and report back to council when a conflict was alleged.
That's the model Gerbasi's motion called for. It's also the method that delivered Toronto Mayor Rob Ford to court recently, where he faced both conflict-of-interest allegations and the prospect of being removed from office if found guilty.
But the Ontario government went even further in creating a system for ethical accountability among Toronto's civic politicians. It created an auditor general for Toronto, and made him responsible for assisting city council "in holding itself and its administration accountable for the quality of stewardship over public funds and for the achievement of value for money" in city operations.
Ontario also legislated a lobbyist registrar for Toronto. That position is responsible for "enhancing the integrity" of Toronto's decision-making process through public disclosure and regulating the conduct of lobbyists.
Winnipeg doesn't have a lobbyist registry like the province of Manitoba does. The city does have an auditor, of course, although given that Gerbasi has been getting hoarse calling for an audit of civic real estate dealings, it doesn't sound like the position here has the same kind independence and clout as Toronto's auditor general.
And, at the risk of getting hoarse myself, I remind you that Winnipeg doesn't have an integrity or conflict-of-interest commissioner like Toronto.
Which brings me back to why the province of Manitoba seems so reluctant to help the city help itself conduct business with integrity.
Maybe this story will help explain it. Back in the fall of 2009, when the Gerbasi-led motion passed, Manitoba's government was in transition, passing from Gary Doer, then-recently appointed Canadian ambassador to the United States, to his successor as premier, Greg Selinger.
During that process, Liberal Leader Jon Gerrard stood in the legislature on a point of order and accused Doer of being in a conflict of interest because he had represented Manitoba in Ottawa recently as premier after being announced as Prime Minister Stephen Harper's designated representative in Washington, D.C.
The Speaker of the House at the time, George Hickes, said it wasn't the Speaker's place to rule on such matters because he couldn't determine questions of law. And a spokesman for the province's conflict-of-interest commissioner said he couldn't comment either, as his role is only as an advisor to MLAs.
Which brings me to a question that suggests an answer.
How could the province create an ethics watchdog with real bite for Winnipeg's politicians, when its own can't even bark?

1 OAKDALE CLUB, AMATEUR RADIO SECTION February 2011 A T ACORN TIMES Hard Work and Dedication Pays Dividends Dennis Wells, ZS1AU, a well known DX'er in our midst, who has made contacts as well as friend all over the globe, recently joined the ranks of South Africa's top DXCC members. The following is an excerpt of a letter of congratulations from the President of the SARL. AT, on behalf of all its readers, would also like to extent our congratulations to Dennis on this magnificent achievement SOUTH AFRICAN RADIO LEAGUE 30 January 2011 Dennis Wells, ZS1AU Dennis, JOINING THE RANKS OF SOUTH AFRICA'S TOP DXCC MEMBERS On behalf of the members and the Council of the South African Radio League, I would like to congratulate you on the award of the DXCC certificate by the ARRL. However, what makes this DXCC certificate more special is the fact that with the 337 entities credited; you are now number three in South Africa on the DXCC Phone listing. Well done my friend, may it be an inspiration to younger radio amateurs to work towards such an achievement. Greetings DENNIS GREEN, ZS4BS 2 Len Wells Ham Spirit Trophy Info: Dennis ZS1AU The recipient this year of the Len Wells Ham Spirit Trophy was Noel Futter, ZS1FW, and Chairman of CTARC. It was reported that Noel both surprised and speechless when the award was announced at the Club's end of year function.. Both his wife, Joan, and his daughter who were present at the function, were so excited by the news that both jumped up, put their arms around Noel and congratulated him with a big hug and a kiss. Noel is a very worthy recipient of this trophy. He has amateur radio at heart, takes part in events, demonstrates in practice what ham spirit is all about, is a fine gentleman and a good family man. Congratulations Noel from all your fellow Hams. January Club Meeting At the meeting, which was well attended by members and visitors as well, Klaus, ZS1QO delivered a presentation entitled: Introduction to the Construction of an efficient Very Short RF Vertical Antenna This is a very comprehensive presentation with detailed drawings and examples of how to perform the calculations required for the parameters. The full article will be featured in the next edition of AT2. 3 Saying Farewell to 2010 the Proper Way Photo: Etienne ZS1AX The Annual Dinner of the Amateur Radio Section, which has now become a yearly institution, were again this year well attended by members and family. Vaste Lyn Tegnologie in Aksie Dankie Fred, ZS1FCS 4 ZS1OAK Performing Well Klaus, ZS1QO, completing the log after a number of very successful DX QSO's which included amongst others, contacts made with hams in Germany. Dave, ZS1SG, over the last few months, reported that on many occasions he was capable of successful contacts under less than ideal propagation conditions. A scrutiny of the log since the installation of the new beams bears testimony to this most satisfying outcome of all the efforts put in to get the antennas installed. Photo: Fred ZS1FCS Thank you Dennis, ZS1AU, for this wonderful piece of memorabilia. 5 A Ham With Many Talents Dirk, ZS1VDB, has become well known for his enthusiasm in taking used electronic, many of which are in quite a dilapidated state, and restoring it to a mint and fully operational state. In addition, his interest in electronics and electronic circuits has led him to construct various pieces of equipment. A number of trophies won in the Club's home brew competitions bears testimony to this. He is of course also known for his restoration work on Hallicrafters receivers. In many cases this often entails replacing many of the old non-functioning components. The effort is however, at all times, most rewarding. In addition the experience and knowledge gained is priceless. Old Capacitors removed from the receiver on the left Needing a RF frequency generator to align the stages of the receivers, Dirk jumped in, and remembering the circuit of the Grid-Dip Meter, the workings of which was discussed on the Thursday evening Technical Net, he decided to build one. By slightly modifying the circuit and installing fixed coils selectable for frequency by means of rotary switch, the result is an instrument capable of generating RF signals from 2MHz up to 30MHz. Well done, Dirk, and we look forward to featuring more of your work in the future. The result 6 August 2010 7 Looking to the Future has always been more Challenging than reviewing the Past AGM A reminder that the Oakdale Club, Amateur Radio Section, will be holding its Annual General Meeting on Monday evening the 14th March 2011.

The carnival glass of interest to most collectors is an iridized pressed glass that was produced shortly after the turn of the century into the late 1920's. Starting in 1907, the Fenton Art Glass Company became the first to produce this type of glass and became one of the leading producers.
This lovely bowl in the "Vintage" or "Vintage with Leaf" pattern because of the center leaf. The bowl, in blue, measures 8" across; 2 3/4" in height and sits on a collar base which is 3 1/4" across. The deep, crinkled edge is called a candy ribbon edge and is quite scarce. The interior motif consists of five bunches of grapes, leaves and long tendrils extending from the trailing vines. The exterior is a smooth plain motif. There are no cracks, chips or repairs; near mint. The color variation and sharp detail is wonderful.

Double down on No. 11s
A day like Friday only comes along once every 100 years, so we're marking 11/11/11 with our tribute to the number 11. Besides our photo gallery commemorating some of the most famous 11s in sports, pop culture and history, here is our Top 11 list of some noteworthy 11s in sports:
1. No men's basketball program has won more Division I titles than UCLA's 11. The Bruins' most recent title came in 1995 when they beat Arkansas by 11 points (89-78).
2. Last month the St. Louis Cardinals won their 11th World Series, which is the most among National League franchises. Eleven is also the number of postseason victories it takes to win the World Series.
3. The PGA Tour record for most consecutive tournaments won is 11 by Byron Nelson in 1945. The win streak was from March 11 to Aug. 4.
4. Bill Russell has won 11 NBA titles (1957, 1959-66, 1968-69, all with the Boston Celtics), the most by any player.
5. Henri Richard has won 11 Stanley Cup titles (1956-60, 1965-66, 1968-69, 1971, 1973, all with the Montreal Canadiens), the most by any NHL player.
6. In 2011, Texas Rangers outfielder David Murphy had 111 hits, 11 home runs, 11 stolen bases and grounded into 11 double plays. His name also happens to have 11 letters.
7. Houston Rockets point guard Goran Dragic (also 11 letters) has one career triple-double: On April 13, 2011, at Minnesota, Dragic had 11 points, 11 assists and 11 rebounds.
8. Only two starting quarterbacks have won a Super Bowl wearing No. 11: Super Bowl XXI: New York Giants' Phil Simms (beat Broncos), Super Bowl XXVI: Washington Redskins' Mark Rypien (beat Bills).
9. The Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) record for touchdown passes in a game is held by Houston's David Klingler, who threw 11 against Eastern Washington on Nov. 17, 1990.
10. Kelly Slater recently clinched his 11th American Surfing Professionals title. No other surfer has won more than four crowns on the world tour that began in 1976.
11. In 2011, Novak Djokovic reached the finals in 11 events, going 10-1 in those finals

Las Vegas, Dover host music festivals on non-NASCAR weekend
With NASCAR hitting the road courses at Sonoma and Road America this weekend, Las Vegas Motor Speedway and Dover International Speedway played host to a pair of music festivals.
The 1.5-mile Las Vegas Motor Speedway hosted the 18th annual Electric Daisy Carnival within the confines of the track. An electronic music festival, EDC boasts "some of the world's foremost DJs and producers" and some quite unique stage setups.
Here's the map to your #EDCLV experience! Take note of good meet-up spots, free water, & more! http://t.co/33chzTeJXI pic.twitter.com/xF33jF0JkT— EDC (@EDC_LasVegas)

The Firefly Music Festival took advantage of the land surrounding the one-mile Dover International Speedway, while festival goers were able to camp inside the track. While the list of performers would be too long to include here, the headliners included bands such as The Foo Fighters, Outkast, Weezer, Imagine Dragons and many more.
It may not be #NASCAR, but something is definitely rumbling here at the #MonsterMile! #Firefly2014 @LiveAtFirefly— Monster Mile (@MonsterMile)

Defense Acquisitions:
Improvements Needed in Space Systems Acquisition Policy to Optimize Growing Investment in Space
GAO-04-253T: Published: Nov 18, 2003. Publicly Released: Nov 18, 2003.

(202) 512-4841
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Defense is spending nearly $18 billion annually to develop, acquire, and operate satellites and other spacerelated systems. The majority of satellite programs that GAO has reviewed over the past 2 decades experienced problems that increased costs, delayed schedules, and increased performance risk. In some cases, capabilities have not been delivered to the warfighter after decades of development. DOD has recently implemented a new acquisition policy, which sets the stage for decision making on individual space programs. GAO was asked to testify on its assessment of the new policy.
Similar to all weapon system programs, we have found that the problems being experienced on space programs are largely rooted in a failure to match the customer's needs with the developer's resources--technical knowledge, timing, and funding--when starting product development. In other words, commitments were made to satellite launch dates, cost estimates, and delivering certain capabilities without knowing whether technologies being pursued could really work as intended. Time and costs were consistently underestimated. DOD has recognized this problem and recently revised its acquisition policy for non-space systems to ensure that requirements can be matched to resources at the time a product development starts. The space community, however, in its newly issued policy for space systems, has taken another approach. As currently written, and from our discussions with DOD officials about how it will be implemented, the policy will not result in the most important decision, to separate technology development from product development to ensure that a match is made between needs and resources. Instead, it allows major investment commitments to be made with unknowns about technology readiness, requirements, and funding. By not changing its current practice, DOD will likely perpetuate problems within individual programs that require more time and money to address than anticipated. More important, over the long run, the extra investment required to address these problems will likely prevent DOD from pursuing more advanced capabilities and from making effective tradeoff decisions between space and other weapon system programs.

Verizon Wireless smartphone retail sales data show that Verizon needs the Apple iPhone badly, according to a research note entitled Verizon Strikes Out in Smartphones by a financial analyst at Asymco.
Verizon Wireless's first LTE smartphone will be Apple's iPhone, according to an anonymous source who told MacDaily News the device had been spotted at a company training session.
We're pretty sure Verizon is getting the iPhone next year, and now a new rumor suggests that said iPhone will run on Verizon's new, faster LTE network.
A company using crowdsourcing methods to challenge patents has targeted three mobile e-mail patents held by NTP, a Virginia company that has filed more than a dozen infringement lawsuits in the past four years.

For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.

My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.
