Poundstone to Promote Special Olympics and the Law Enforcement Torch Run®
Virginia Beach, VA– Special Olympics announced on Saturday that America's Strongest Man and Naugatuck, CT police officer Derek Poundstone has joined the Special Olympics family as the Movement's first-ever Law Enforcement Torch Run® Global Ambassador. In his new role as a Global Ambassador for the Law Enforcement Torch Run® (LETR) for Special Olympics, Poundstone will build on his already established reputation as a law enforcement officer and fitness and health expert to help spread the Special Olympics' message of acceptance and inclusion for people with intellectual disabilities around the world.
Poundstone was introduced as Global Ambassador on the main stage of a local Special Olympics Virgina event where he presented $10,000 to Special Olympics to sponsor the participation of a Special Olympics athlete in the 2011 Special Olympics World Games Final Leg Torch Run. He immersed himself in the spirit of the day and demonstrated his commitment and "strength" for Special Olympics by bending a frying pan on stage as a part of the announcement.
Celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, the Law Enforcement Torch Run® for Special Olympics is the Movement's largest grass-roots fundraiser and public awareness vehicle, encompassing a variety of events including Torch Runs, Polar Plunge® events and the World's Largest Truck Convoy® fundraiser. More than 85,000 international law enforcement officers participate in the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics, raising funds and awareness as well as carrying the Flame of Hope™ to the Opening Ceremonies of local and state/provincial Special Olympics competitions and Games. The LETR is now present in all 50 U.S. states, Canadian provinces and 46 nations around the world. In 2010, the LETR raised more than US$38.3 million for Special Olympics Programs around the world and has raised more than US$370 million since its inception in 1981.
"I consider it an honor and privilege to be named the first-ever Law Enforcement Torch Run Global Ambassador," said Poundstone. "I intend to represent my fellow law enforcement officers from all over the world with pride and dignity. The strength I have witnessed from the athletes who participate in Special Olympics outweighs anything I could ever achieve inside of a gym."
Naugatuck Chief of Police Christopher Edson added: "The Naugatuck Police Department is very excited about the opportunity that Derek has been given to represent the Naugatuck Police Department as well as Connecticut law enforcement as a LETR Global Ambassador for Special Olympics. Connecticut law enforcement has been supporting the goals of Special Olympics and our local athletes for many years and we are proud to have Officer Derek Poundstone as our ambassador."
Poundstone also announced that he and Solae, LLC, the world's leading soy ingredient company, and Poundstone Power global sponsorship partner, will be a Special Olympics Champion, providing support for a Special Olympics athlete to participate in the LETR Final Leg for the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games in Greece.
"The Law Enforcement Torch Run is very pleased and honored to have one of our own to step up and serve as our Global Ambassador to champion the cause of Special Olympics as well as represent the passion, dedication, and commitment displayed by thousands of law enforcement members around the world," said Michael Teem, a retired major with the Raleigh, NC Police Department and Executive Director of the LETR. "Derek is an amazing individual who will use his energy and unique skillset to raise awareness and partner with us to support many of our initiatives."
When not training for his next Strong Man competition or enforcing the law, Derek Poundstone is extolling the virtues of "Poundstone Power" – living a high-performance lifestyle through diet, exercise and time management - to people around the world. The "World's Strongest Cop" has won five major Strong Man titles including the Fortissimus, The Arnold Schwarzenegger Classic, The World Strongest Man Super Series and America's Strongest Man. Poundstone also serves as a full-time police officer in Naugatuck, Connecticut. The son of an Air Force sergeant, he travels the world as an official spokesperson for soy protein on behalf of Solae, LLC. Poundstone also hosts "Poundstone Power Radio" which airs nationally on Sirius/XM satellite radio, and recently began writing a monthly column for Muscle and Fitness Magazine, which is published in 13 countries. For more information, please visit www.poundstonepower.com.
Poundstone joins a select group of athletes and celebrities who are dedicated to spreading the Special Olympics Movement and message worldwide. These include names such as basketball player Yao Ming; footballer Kaka; PGA golfer Padraig Harrington; Olympic medalists Michael Phelps, Michelle Kwan, Scott Hamilton, Bart Conner and Nadia Comaneci; recording artist Joe Jonas; former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger; boxing legend Muhammad Ali; actors Zhang Ziyi and Jackie Chan; and performer Vanessa Williams.
More than 200 million people worldwide have an intellectual disability, making it the largest disability group worldwide. Intellectual disability crosses racial, ethnic, educational, social and economic lines, and can occur in any family.
About Special OlympicsSpecial Olympics is an international organization that changes lives by encouraging and empowering people with intellectual disabilities, promoting acceptance for all, and fostering communities of understanding and respect worldwide. Founded in 1968 by Eunice Kennedy Shriver, the Special Olympics movement has grown from a few hundred athletes to more than 3.5 million athletes in over 170 countries in all regions of the world, providing year-round sports training, athletic competition and other related programs. Special Olympics now takes place every day, changing the lives of people with intellectual disabilities in places like China and from regions like the Middle East to the community playgrounds and ballfields in every small neighborhood's backyard.

Our future depends on the national forest: It's not the time to drop the fight
The key to solving the problems that plague Plumas County is visible from virtually every vantage point in the county — our national forests. Twenty years ago a group set out to grab that key and open the door that would protect the long-term viability of our communities.
But many in that group are tired. Last week, the group that used to draw dozens to its monthly meeting could only muster a handful.
"Everybody should be here," Indian Valley resident Mike Yost said following last week's Quincy Library Group meeting. "Seventy-five percent of the county is national forest. Our economy is based on it. Without proper management, it will burn up and then where will we be?"
From our doorsteps we can see the trees — a renewable resource. Trees can be grown and harvested, supporting an entire industry and the surrounding communities. Not only does that put private foresters, loggers, truck drivers and mill workers on the payroll, it provides timber receipts that bolster the federal treasury, and also paves our roads and funds our schools.
Harvesting trees and thinning the forests in a strategic manner promotes forest health and helps the landscape become resilient to fire. During last year's devastating Chips Fire, a Forest Service review showed that areas that had been managed according to the QLG strategy stopped the fire's spread.
In addition to providing a renewable resource, the national forests provide recreation that local residents and visitors alike can enjoy. But no one enjoys picnicking in an overgrown thicket where the sun can't penetrate, or on scorched earth dotted with burned trees. Neither scenario improves the watershed, and the latter certainly can't provide a home for wildlife.
The QLG earned bipartisan support in Congress, drawing a 429-1 vote to enact its pilot project. But lawsuits decimated the legislation's intent, forcing a series of extensions to try to accomplish the work that should have been completed in five years.
"It's expensive and it's draining," QLG co-founder Bill Coates said last week. Environmentalists filed suit as soon as timber sales were advertised, thus delaying, halting and dragging out the process so that it was difficult to accomplish anything. All the while, salvageable timber rotted and healthy forests burned. Is that what the environmentalists wanted?
Twenty years ago, Plumas County's staunchest environmentalist, Michael Jackson, said that it wasn't and he joined forces with Coates, then a county supervisor, and Tom Nelson, a timber industry representative, to protect the forests and sustain our communities.
Yost is right. It's time the rest of us stand up and demand what is really just a matter of common sense.

Customer Reviews for Simply Chic Cordless Semi-Opaque
"First roller shade-very happy"
By A little light from SF Bay Area
The shade was easy to install and we are very happy with the quality. I was a little surprised in that the description says "textures " but it only looks like it's textured. The shade is actually smooth with a texture pattern look. The description does say texture "print" which is easy to overlook when reading. We do like it though.
View this product"Great conveinence"
By gail from texas
I was a little relunctant to spend so much on a cellular shade, but am glad I did! The ease of use in a hard to reach kitchen window made this choice a real time and effort saver for me. I love the remote control application. I am too short to reach above my sink to open and close blinds, so this is a real benefit to me.

Crita is awesome. As so many have said she is an integral role to the NA story. She belongs to get a figure just as much as Shadow Weaver.
would love to have a crita in my collection
Crita is awesome. As so many have said she is an integral role to the NA story. She belongs to get a figure just as much as Shadow Weaver.
Mattel I'm still waiting for these characters!
Spinwit, The Scientists, Darius,Crita, Kayo, Stridor, Kittrina, Melaktha, Drissi, Master Sebrian, Sagitar
My Facebook, check it out!
Do you hear what they are saying about you, my lady? Do you hear what they are saying about you, my love?
Click on Amazon or Barnes and Noble for a free sample of my first book, Paradigm Shift Saga: Malediction!
A short story of monsters and magic!
If there is a Mara coming, why not Crita? She's a great character and would make a great rival for Evil-lyn.
We survived the long night.... MOTU Forever!
She would definitely need two separate figures made, but she would probably utilize the same "slippers" feet that Perfuma would have, if they went by the Style Guide/Filmation look.
"Yep! And now I'm gonna blast ya!"
- Orko to Skeletor in "Lessons"
I liked her witch costume better than her later, more generic one. She doesn't replace Evil-Lyn for me though.
I always liked her light purpler skin tone.
"Yep! And now I'm gonna blast ya!"
- Orko to Skeletor in "Lessons"
i so prefer her mutant costume over her Gleanon Queen one it just looks kind of silly.
No way, she should come in her Queen outfit first - it's so much sexier!
Mattel, I demand a Crita figure!!
Mattel can have my money right now for a Crita. In fact they can have my money for any Space Mutants! Optikk is soooooo lonely.
Love her, want her, need her for MOTUC! She's one of the highlights of the cartoon for me; I'd love to see her first version (the dress) over the second.
More Vintage NA for MOTUC in 2016!!
MOTUC wants: KAYO, Perfuma, Darius, Drissi, Sebrian, Crita, Hoove, Staghorn, Crystoll, Quakke, Nocturna, B.H., Lizzor, Lord Masque, Chef Allen, Clawdeen, Granita, Hunga, Kothos, Admiral Scurvy, Red Knight, Vultak, King Ahgo, the Twiggets, Meteorbs
Great .org transactions: sdilks, Man-E-Toys, bigassbuzz x2, Climan, wolvie3579, air23cnhit, Jestermon
We definitely need both of the major female characters from NA, if said rights are indeed acquired. That line was a boys club, and Mattel can fix that now.
Wouldn't mind them doing a Marlena with her and offering a changeable "dress."
"I will use this power for all the good that can be done, to work for peace, to encourage virtue, and above all, to preserve life in all its forms..." Superman
Heck yeah! More NA love, and soon! Crita would be a fantastic, welcome addition to my shelves.
I'm dying for Mara (I prefer her normal look over her battle-ponytail) and Sebrian, too.
Not to sound like a creepy cheerleader for Uki, but it's nice to know there is at least one person on this forum who is extremely positive & friendly all the time. I don't think I could be that nice even if you paid me. If we ever give out awards for "forum member of the month", Uki gets my vote. -Mr. Shokoti
Like Mara (Toga Mara and Warrior Mara), I want BOTH of Crita's outfits.
The Blonde Teela Thread
The Cloak and Dagger Evil-Lyn Thread
Sagitar (Jetlag) Horde Wraiths Azdar Belzar Chazdar Cloak and Dagger Evil-Lyn 200X Teenage Prince Adam 200X Teenage Teela 200X Sorceress General Rattlor (MYP) 200X King Randor and Queen Marlena 200X Battle Armor King Randor and Battle Armor Queen Marlena Ice Armor He-Man WMD Roboto
I definitely need both versions of Crita.
I'd buy a Crita, if she's ever released. She seems to be a cool character. I like both of her outfits.
I'd go more for her fighting outfit since she seems to be more of a physical fighter, which aside from maybe Catra, is something the villain side needs more of for their women, but I'd buy either one.
How've I not seen this thread before? Get me a Critta already, she was a major part of NA, so is a more valid want than a lot of Filmation requests, in my opinion
Am i getting this right....
From this day on, there is an actual chance she will get her action figure!?!?!
I want'em both!!! Man I love it that they have the rights.

Now only a good Direct3d to OpenGL converter is needed, like Wine has, and you can play UT3 Windows under your VirtualBox running in Linux host.
Phoronix: VirtualBox Gets OpenGL Acceleration Support
Sun Microsystems has announced the release this morning of VirtualBox 2.1 with several enticing additions. VirtualBox 2.1 introduces support for hardware virtualization (through Intel VT and AMD's AMD-V) on Mac OS X host systems, support for 64-bit guest operating systems on 32-bit host systems, support for Intel Nehalem (Core i7) virtualization enhancements, full VMDK/VHD support, a new NAT engine, and new Host Interface Networking implementations on Linux and Windows...
Now only a good Direct3d to OpenGL converter is needed, like Wine has, and you can play UT3 Windows under your VirtualBox running in Linux host.
Great job done by Sun!
I have just tested it with Warcraft 3 TFT (OGL mode) on Windows XP 32-Bit running in VirtualBox 2.1 on Ubuntu 8.10. It has some minor graphical glitches but it works amazingly well.
Yes! I've been waiting for this moment for more than two years. I can finally put my windows partition to rest (I used it only to test my opengl programs).
Way to go, VirtualBox! You rock!
OpenGL acceleration.. How? Can they expose graphics hardware to a virtual machine? Really?
Would be nice to see if this even works. I tried vmware, and it failed horribly for when I needed it. Such a pita to setup and I was getting 5fps.
I can't believe it!
If directx support comes as well, than gamers won't need to set up a dual-boot anymore! Just a windows xp VM would be enough!
holy macaroni ;o only one step further (DX9) and goodbye windows for good ;-)
What a fantastic X-mas gift!
I just got a little scholarship at the uni and need a new multicore box for bioinformatics work. Perhaps I should go with Sun as a way to say thanx for their open source efforst over the last couple of years...
I've got mixed feelings about this...
Ok, so you can play Windows-games without rebooting into a seperate windows-partition... but that's about it.
You still need a Windows-install and thus a Windows-licence (if you want to stay on the legal side). And I fear game-developers might be even less intrigued to do linux-ports, since hey, they can play it on a vm just as well.

RachelNOLAHairColor Treated HairFine or Thin HairGreat Product Line, But Skip This OneI started using the Nexxus Pro-Mend shampoo, conditioner, and daily leave-in treatment this July while attempting to grow out my hair, which is thin and delicate. I began noticing my hair was less frizzy and more manageable within the first few days. My split ends were less noticeable after the first week, but if I went a day or two without shampooing, they looked just as bad as they had before. So the "mending" isn't permanent, but I really liked how my hair smelled and felt, and it's a decent price to boot. This shampoo, however, was the only thing I found lacking. I live in a muggy climate, so my scalp gets pretty oily if I go more than a couple of days without cleansing, and this shampoo just didn't make my hair feel clean. Not wanting to waste it, I started using a clarifying shampoo once a week or so.
Most importantly, though, this shampoo really aggravated my eczema. It took a while to figure out what started the breakout, but as soon as I stopped using my Pro-Mend products, the itchy neck and scalp healed beautifully. I'm waiting to start using the conditioner and leave-in treatment for now, but I'm almost positive it's the shampoo. I'll leave a review for the others as soon as I've made sure they aren't irritating my skin, as well.
So if your skin is drier than it is oily, and you don't have sensitivities to certain chemicals, you may like this shampoo alright. It doesn't have the active ingredients that mend the split ends, anyhow.posted Dec 9, 2012Link to this post -

Hard to find Toddler Jersey!
I was so excited to find this Jersey to replace my daughter's former Ngata jersey that she outgrew. The jersey is a nice quality and has washed well so far, although, I never put jerseys in the dryer because eventually the printed lettering always starts to crack and the dryer just makes it worse.

Many Forks in a New Road: The UX Hell of Cross-Platform Content Viewing
In the past, web browser page content like text and streaming video or audio always worked, spare for occasional rendering issues.
It didn't matter if we viewed web content on a Mac or PC, using a preferred browser like Internet Explorer (Windows), Safari (Mac), Firefox, Chrome, or Opera.
Text content followed HTML4 layout specifications, while video and audio streaming was played back using the Adobe Flash player, which was preinstalled on the browsers.
Mobile devices like smart phones and tablets changed all that. Initially, viewing mobile web content, whether static text or streaming video, worked just fine. No one had to give UX a second thought as Adobe supported a mobile version of the Adobe Flash player for all mobile web browsers' platforms.
Then, starting three-plus years ago, viewing identical web content on any computing platform became the expected norm. We expected that content viewing on our desktop computer would render just as well on our smart phone or tablet. Computing platform users observed that viewing content on any device frequently created unacceptable UX.
Those in the computing trade or closely affiliated stated: "No problem, we are moving from content rendering software using Adobe Flash and HTML4 to HTML5 with a new <video> HTML tag to replace Adobe Flash."
The software industry assured computing users, "We'll have a short transition period while websites cease using Adobe Flash while simultaneously moving from HTML4 to HTML5 content layout inside of the web browsers. Soon your inconsistent UX will go away."
Others continued to scratch their heads wondering why the promised consistent content viewing on any computing device was not always there. After all, ubiquitous platform content viewing was promised three years ago. The promised delivery of good UX on any computer platform is still not there and will not be for another year, if not longer.
Plan on web browser standard differences being your annoying rendering issue for a few more years
This issue has led to a considerable amount of frustration, as users do not always know why they can't see sites in the same way they can on their desktop and laptop computers and mobile devices.
Smartphone penetration is already a reality. "Two separate surveys confirmed that smartphone penetration has not only passed half of all mobile subscribers, but has gone well beyond 50% of all adult Americans for the first time," Forbes reported back in June. "The Pew Research Center places the figure at 56%, up from just 35% two years ago while noting the number of adults with no cell phone at all has fallen by half in that time, to just 9%."
The emerging mobile platform—replacing PCs with tablets and smartphones—is driving the need for more care when it comes to rendering all forms of HTML content across all browsers on all platforms. There's more to the story, though. Actually, the software development community unwittingly and unnecessarily foisted this inconsistent content viewing problem on users starting back in April of 2010.
How and Why it Happened
Lets look back to January 2010, when cross-platform viewing of rich—not just plain text—web browser and email HTML tagged content was not an issue. The web browser HTML layout control tags—a.k.a. HTML4—rendered cross-platform text and graphic images just fine. Sure, there were cross-platform rendering and view problems to overcome, with a little extra work for video, audio, and web animation we used Adobe Flash, which was (fortunately) ubiquitously deployed in all web browsers on almost all computing platforms, both PC workstation and mobile devices. Flash videos rendered the same way anywhere without much in the way of video and audio differences.
It was a time when Adobe Flash won for online rendering of video, not because it was the most ideal method, but because a developer could publish a video using the Flash video codec and expect it to be viewable most anywhere. Write once and view anywhere was the norm. Then, suddenly, in April 2010, all hell broke loose when our cross-platform rich content rending was unequivalently forced to take a new platform road for displaying rich content on mobile devices.
The big bomb: Apple, principally Steve Jobs, announced that their mobile device operating system, iOS, would no longer support the running of Adobe Flash on the iOS devices—iPod, iPhone, and the soon to be released iPad. Apple's reasons for no longer supporting Flash on the iOS operating system were covered in Steve Jobs now famous online post: Thoughts on Flash.
Apple's Flash replacement was proposed as:
- Non-existing HTML5 web standard on the Apple Mac OS X and iOS mobile devices Safari web browser
- Video display via the <video> HTML5 tag element using the H.264 (also known as MPEG-4) codec
The dying off of Flash did not leave clear and concise alternatives. This is exactly when and where the UX hell was created that is still with us today. We were moving down a new road, with multiple forks in front of us:
- Use of HTML5 web layout instead HTML4, where the HTML5 standard was basically an idea, far from being a standard specification for consistent multivendor use
- Not all web browser providers were planning to support H.264 as the rich content video (and audio) codec
- Not all web browser providers were ready to move from HTML4 to HTML5
Some readers who have made it this far are probably saying: "The solution is easy, just stop using content encoded in Adobe Flash." But the issue is much more complicated than not using Flash encoded content. These are the forks awaiting us along the new road content developers and publishers are forced to take.
Fork: Nonexistent HTML5 Web Specification
The first fork appeared back in April of 2012: the lack of an HTML5 specification to develop website content against. But wait a minute, isn't the web browser the ubiquitous standard for rendering content across all platforms? That is what we are told, but web browsers are far from being consistent and reliable at rendering content.
The published W3C HTML5 specification is neither complete nor finalized. Working with an ever-shifting HTML5 specification is part of a whole phenomenon, which creates a mix of available web browsers with different content rendering functionality. Your text and video content may or may or may not render to the user properly, depending on the web browser and its respective version being used.
The W3C HTML5 spec release train finalizes the HTML5 spec in 2014. Plan on web browser standard differences being your annoying rendering issue for a few more years.

Fork: Adobe Flash to HTML5 <video> Element
This video (and audio) fork in the road is more involved that you might realize.
Missing is an HTML5 <video> tag codec standard. The idea is that you feed streaming video to an HTML5 <video> tag and it will render properly for the user. This is yet to be determined within the HTML5 specification as to which video codec or codecs to support.
Presently each browser provider has a different idea regarding which video codec to support. You can see what I mean by viewing the UX Magazine article, The State of HTML5 Video. In the Media Formats chart, observe that different browsers support varied video codecs. Confusing to say the least.
What this means is that your video is viewable in one browser but potentially not viewable in another. To me, it is unconscionable that the software industry is even allowing this to happen.
One solution is to use adaptive codec publishing (create multiple codec formats) and send a different video codec file depending on the web browser being viewed. Another alternative for video publishing on your website is YouTube. You can optionally embed your YouTube videos on your website. There are tradeoffs with this approach beyond the scope of this article.
So where does the HTML5 <video> codec battle go from here? When will these video codec standards be established? There are no answers yet and we will not have them for another year at least.
Fork: Web Platform Streaming Video on All Computing Platforms
Web publishing just for Windows and Mac OS X workstations is declining and being offset by the explosion of disparate mobile devices. Associated with this is the rapid emergence of BYOD (Bring You Own Device) to work. These are typically tablet devices and sometimes capable smart phones.
We've lived through three-plus years when all web browser providers where each browser supports a different set of video codecs. What this means is a given video will render fine in one browser and not even start up on another web browser. This problem is exacerbated when viewing videos between desktop and mobile devices.
An employee may view video web content on their home desktop. Then take their tablet or smartphone to work only to learn the video is not viewable at work. The same scenario can happen in reverse too, from work desktop to mobile BYOD video viewing. The non-technical computing platform user, of course, does not have a clue as to why this is happening and for that matter "why does this not work?"
The cause of this platform inconstant video rendering problem is most obvious and straightforward. For the W3C HTML5, yet to be released specification, <video> HTML tag there is not a list of supported and unsupported video codecs.
Indeed this is a very bad situation: various web browser providers—principally Apple, Microsoft, and Google—are all vying for their favorite video (and audio) codec to be supported. Today, browser providers are like a bunch of Wild West cowboys. "We have a larger video content installed base than browser provider X, therefore our HTML5 <video> HTML tag should be the W3C supported standard.
As I mentioned, this non-ubiquitous platform-to-platform video rendering problem will be with is for another year or more. First, the final HTML5 specification will not be released until the last quarter of 2014. Second, there will be three-plus years of old published web content in the wild, which will require republishing to the final HTML5 specification.
Content updating will not happen immediately. Video rendering consistency will not happen until the specification W3C HTML5 <video> HTML tag supported list of codecs is finalized and published. There are software development paths around this issue using specially crafted HTML5 <video> tags or the use of what is called video adaptive bitrate encoding, but that's another story for a subsequent article.
Inconstant web content rendering, especially from the desktop to the BYOD smart phones and tablets has been with us now for three years. Expect another year plus of these issues and realize that, despite all your UX design and management, sometimes your content will not render as you desire—especially on BYOD devices—and that this issue is beyond your control for a while longer.

As a content management system administrator for my company I agree. The User Experience Platform (UXP) seems to be the platform that will tighten the ranks. Content management systems (CMS) like Microsoft SharePoint are just too decentralized. I've dealt with this problem for years. It's hard to find a CMS that fits the needs of a business and user with portal similar conditions, social capacities, email broadcasting, and a centralized database making corporate data easy to find.
I've only enjoyed one system with this kind of User Experience, Centralpoint by Oxycon. Centralpoint gives us the comfort we need heading in to the new tends of technology.
I read up on this Centralpoint content management system and for some reason I'm not getting the same thing as you, Jen. It looks like a pretty complicate system. We are a small company with content management needs. My company has a little less than 30 something employees and about 10 of us play very important roles and work in an environment where a high level quality management is conducted for clients. The CMS that we use fit our needs just fine and I really can't see how and company of are size could benefit from Centralpoint. Could you give me some ideas of Centralpoint being used on this level?
re: we are indeed, left out in the cold to hand-code replacement solutions back in the world of massive browser incompatibilities.
The Fall of Flash was indeed a terrible blow for web UX reliability. Worry free cross-browser support and the ability to use vector assets for core elements were two of my main reasons for using it in many cases. Since there is still no 1 to 1 replacement for Flash, nor are there any tools I know of that can automatically convert Flash projects into html5—we are indeed, left out in the cold to hand-code replacement solutions back in the world of massive browser incompatibilities.
The article still reads: "...Write once and view anywhere was the norm. Then, suddenly, in April 2010, all hell broke loose when our cross-platform rich content rending was unequivalently forced to take a new platform road for displaying rich content on mobile devices.
The big bomb: Apple, principally Steve Jobs, announced that their mobile device operating system, iOS, would no longer support the running of Adobe Flash on the iOS devices—iPod, iPhone, and the soon to be released iPad. Apple's reasons..."
Umm... no, that's wrong. By 2010, the train had long since left the station. The iPhone had been out - without Flash - for nearly 3 years at that point, so basically every content provider had already made the switch. Steve Jobs' "Thoughts on Flash" letter was simply a confirmation of why Apple would *continue* to not allow Flash; there was no change in policy.
And as for "snatch[ing] defeat from the jaws of victory": Mobile Safari commands about 80% of mobile browser share. Just exactly how much more would it take for you to consider it "victory"?!?
Flash is still available in the UK Android stores, because a ton of our video on demand services use it. No one wants to install an app that bugs you about other stuff just to watch a quick video.
I almost entirely disagree with your basic premise. This branching didn't occur when (as Shaun correctly points out) iOS /announced/ they would not support Flash ever, but long before the iPhone was launched. Mobile devices have been forcing odd content on us for almost a decade. And by no means did web video always work. In the era you long for many organizations restricted or banned plugins, so video was essentially impossible to load for a large percentage of the users.
Settings aside video, it's a much larger issue. And by issue I do not mean "problem." It's an opportunity, and one that is pretty easy to deal with if you've been designing properly (not "colors and shapes" but APIs and flows sort of designing) all along.
Many have. Two years ago is when I first heard guys from NPR discuss how they had, for years already, been preparing content for everything from RADIO to the desktop web. With plenty of mobile web, mobile apps, tablets and oh yeah, radio visual display summaries. Check out the history of electronic programming guides; yeah, people all the way back in the 1970s who realized that the world would change and their stupid paper ones would not last forever, so set up flexible databases whose structures we still have.
Check out rates of information consumption over *SMS* sometime. Forget HTML5, or a specific video standard to export to, how about all these other channels? It's not a one time conversion, but a way of life.
So…your first "fork" here is converting from HTML4 to HTML5…which I'd argue doesn't make a ton of difference. Especially if you're talking about problems in rendering on mobile devices, none of which run IE, making life really a lot easier.
Then the next two forks are basically the same thing, how videos on the web are a pain if you're not using Adobe Flash. Which is definitely true, but I don't exactly see the difference between your points?
Also is that seriously a scan from a newspaper clipping?
You've got a lot of the details wrong here, specifically "March 2011 [..] Steve Jobs announced that their mobile device operating system, iOS, would no longer support the running of Adobe Flash on the iOS devices"
iOS devices have *never* supported Flash. Why do you say it's only been two years?!
Very badly researched article.
Thanks for catching that error, Shaun. We apologize for the oversight and have made the appropriate corrections to the article.
My article research notes clearly indicate, to me, that the Steve Jobs: Thoughts on Flash article was published in April 2010. Somehow, and I'm not exactly sure why or how how, this Steve missive date got translated to March 2011 throughout my article. Probably my date and time duration was entered once and then carried throughout. It was an inadvertent error and not lack of research, though this should have never happened. I apologize for missing this rather gross oversight on my part. I do truly appreciate you pointing this oversight out to me.
re: iOS devices have *never* supported Flash.
Above, I think you mean Flash Mobile as a released product on iOS. I would agree with your statement, Flash Mobile was never an iOS released product. Steve Jobs April 29, 2010, "Thoughts on Flash" online post says no to Flash on iOS using the word Flash 35 times in his article post. Apple snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Steve's online post statement, "The avalanche of media outlets offering their content for Apple's mobile devices demonstrates that Flash is no longer necessary to watch video or consume any kind of web content," allowed me in this article to make the statement. "The big bomb: Apple, principally Steve Jobs, announced that their mobile device operating system, iOS, would no longer support the running of Adobe Flash on the iOS devices..."
The idea of write once, deploy across many platforms/devices is patently wrong when considering touch devices. The simplest explanation is "hover", a predominate Flash feature, is broken on every touch device. The list goes on.
Also, as a mobile developer, Google's support of Flash, taking the high road, as if Apple was wrong in the harsh judgement was a political move. What i'm saying is that as Adobe cried foul, Google put their arms around Adobe and said its not that bad, we love you, we allow flash on Android. This garnered praise for Google and Adobe, standing up for the mobile users rights. Google knew it was a terrible experience, that mobile CPU's could not render Flash effectively (at that pint in time), at the very least to be a pleasing user experience and would soon die anyway being a proponent of HTML 5. Google won by standing with Adobe, bashed Apple and never lost face in the transition.
Being that the focus of UXmag is about the users experience, I find it disturbing that this article does not recognize the pathetic nature of Flash on mobile/tablet devices at every level. Heck, Android code could not access the GPU on most mobile handsets at the time of this cry for justice, much less would the same handsets receive an OS upgrade from the handset mfg. at any time near Google's code releases. So much more than meets the eye here. Fortunately most of the 2.2 code based handsets have died so developers can really forget about them and not have to support that code base.
If Flash truly had a chance on Mobile/Tablets, Adobe would have continued to support it, as CPU and cores increased in the space and Google was behind them (cough).
SO, in my opinion, this point or argument for Flash is moot at best.
Thank you for letting me share my opinion and love the majority of content from this site and the contributors. I learn a lot and its helped my career immensely, especially Mr. Mackie's contributions. =]
Hi FastEddy
I enjoyed your reading your comments above.
I do agree that "the idea of write once, deploy across many platforms/devices is patently wrong when considering touch devices." I do observe though that several website software developer tool providers are making the claim of write once, run everywhere. Has this "write once" notion been truly proven yet? I don't think so. Lots to watch for here in what shakes out—if anything—and which multi-platform development tools will slowly fade away. The solution, at least for now, is observe and be cognizant of what may or may not work in the way of website software development tools in the way of form, fit, and function.
re: I find it disturbing that this article does not recognize the pathetic nature of Flash on mobile/tablet devices at every level.
I particularly do appreciate this comment. The thrust of my article was that Adobe Flash was disappearing on mobile devices and replaced with a incomplete HTML5 specification. I would have like to same more regarding "the pathetic nature of Flash on mobile/tablet devices," but the UX Magazine editorial guide lines strictly limits the size of Contributor's articles.
On mobile, we are past Adobe Flash and for some mobile applications to applying the the use of HTML5 specification. Next should be to more discussion about what HTML5 does provide in in the UX way of features and benefits, or lack thereof. For example, just applying use the HTML5 is worthy of one UX Magazine article is worthwhile. I will write this article if I sense that there is UX centric interest in this topic.
Hey Pete,
Yes, I think it would be an excellent article on HTML5 and UX.
The rapid pace and plethora of options, we can all use help to head in the right direction. Community and comments help me so much to see whats new and fresh outside my local coffee shop circle of dev friends.
Keep writing and thanks for putting yourself out there Pete.

A snowmobile accident in the Italian Alps left six tourists dead and two others seriously injured. The eight -- all from eastern Europe, or Russia -- were riding on the vehicle across an unlit slope on Mount Cermis in the Trento region, rescuers said. Mount Cermis was the scene of two deadly cable car accidents in 1976 and 1998. In the latter a US military plane cut a cable supporting a gondola of an aerial tramway.

Daughter tells of grief at dad's death in road crash near Wigton
Last updated at 16:53, Thursday, 05 April 2012
A daughter devastated by a second family tragedy has spoken of her grief over her father's death.
Rachel Coulson has also revealed her frustration that a trial in which he was trying to clear his name of allegations cannot now reach a verdict.
Driving instructor Eric Coulson, 62, died last week, three years after his daughter, Verity Twentyman, took her own life.
Mr Coulson, of Wampool Place, Wigton, was standing trial accused of sexually assaulting two female driving pupils – charges he denied.
He attended Carlisle Crown Court on Wednesday last week but died the following morning when his car was in collision with a lorry on the A596 Wigton bypass.
Mr Coulson's daughter, Rachel, said: "My dad had gone to court on the first day. He held his head up high and just kept saying he had done nothing wrong. He was clearly upset but he held it together well. He just wanted to clear his name."
Rachel, 39, last spoke to her dad the night before the crash.
She said: "He said he didn't think the trial had gone too badly. We chatted on the phone and he called me sweetheart.
"He said everything would be fine and he would see me the following day."
On Thursday morning, Mr Coulson dropped off his grandson Oliver at Nelson Thomlinson School and then drove onto the Wigton bypass.
Rachel was at her dad's home when she received news that there had been a crash.
She said: "My mum went out to look for him and when she came back she said she had some bad news. I saw the police standing behind her."
Rachel's sister Verity was 34 when she died in 2009. A coroner ruled that she had taken her own life. Verity's two children, Jessica, 18, and Oliver, 13, lived with Mr Coulson and his wife Elaine.
Rachel said: "We lost our beloved Verity and my dad was the rock for our family. He put his own grief to one side to support us. He often sent me random texts saying he loved me. It took me two years to get over Verity's death and this time I'm going to sort out some counselling. My mum is a strong person. She never doubted my dad – none of us did."
Mr Coulson had been a driving instructor for 12 years, having previously worked as an HGV driver.
Rachel said: "He was a hard-working man all his life and when my sister and I were little he had worked two jobs so my mum could stay at home and care for us.
"He loved his job and took great pride in it. He sent all of his pupils congratulations when they had passed. He was as pleased with the last as he was with the first.
"He was a true gentleman. He was polite and was never crude or swore. He was a good man. He enjoyed photography and taking his dog Marley to agility classes. I feel privileged to have been brought up by him."
In 2008, Mr Coulson was diagnosed with the early stages of throat cancer for which he was treated.
"He recovered well and threw himself back into his work," said Rachel.
"He was still taking on new pupils all the time despite the allegations against him."
She believes the case has highlighted the potential for allegations against driving instructors, adding that cameras should be fitted in their vehicles to give clarity for both teachers and pupils.
"The thought of another family having to go through this is heart breaking," she said.
Oliver said: "After my mum died grandad bought me an amplifier. I felt I could let my grief out through my music.
"My grandad had 950 followers on Facebook and we have received so many kind messages of support. It really helps.
"We are all really sad but Marley the dog is really missing his dad. He just wants him back."
The family says it has been comforted by the huge amount of sympathy cards and flowers it has received.
Rachel said: "We want to say thank you to the people of Wigton for all their kind words of support they have sent to us at this difficult time."
Police are continuing to investigate the crash.
An inquest into his death was opened and adjourned on Monday. Mr Coulson's funeral will be held on Tuesday at Carlisle Crematorium at 1.40pm.

TAHOE/TRUCKEE, Calif. - Lake Tahoe is considered the epicenter for Northern California skiing and riding, but our regional ski history got its start in the high country west of Donner Pass. Five years before leaders of the Auburn Ski Club managed to persuade California's state legislature to plow trans-Sierra Highway 40 during the winter months, two entrepreneurial brothers established the first resort hotel near the pass for winter sports enthusiasts. When Oscar and Herstle Jones completed the 20-room Soda Springs Hotel near Donner Pass in 1927, it was the only commercial business that offered meals and accommodations that could be easily accessed by skiers riding Southern Pacific trains. Among the amenities offered by the resort was the opportunity to ski down to Donner Lake and then enjoy a horse-drawn sleigh ride back to the hotel.Now that's hotBy 1941, an improved Soda Springs Hotel was under new management by Herb and Ollie Bruck. Avid skiers themselves, the couple had revamped the lodge, installed a Swiss beer cellar in the basement, and built observation decks off the bar. The hotel could accommodate 75 guests in steam-heated rooms that contained a bath. Hotel rates in the Donner Summit area ranged from $1 to $4 per day, and meals cost 25 to $1 per day.The nearby Rainbow Tavern was also destined to become a favorite destination for skiers traveling Highway 40. Built along the south fork of the Yuba River, the structure was originally used as a stage stop in the late 1800s. Herstle Jones took it over in 1927, upgraded and enlarged the building, and renamed it "Herstle Jones' Rainbow Tavern and Trout Farm." Jones marketed it as a year-round resort, with access to both summer and winters sports. By 1939, Jones had installed a J-bar rope tow that pulled his skiing guests 500 feet up a hill near the lodge for 25 a ride. Riding the "Up-Ski"Oscar Jones' son Dennis played a pivotal role in the Summit's development as a commercial winter sports destination. Dennis, who had taken his first lessons from a friendly Pacific Gas & Electric Company lineman who used skis to make his rounds, had a real passion for skiing. When he later attended school in Switzerland, Jones learned the telemark turn (single bended knee) and the stem Christy (ski tips together and tails apart to turn and brake) from European instructors. He also learned the new Arlberg System, where skiers used two poles, not one, and linked dynamic parallel turns down the slope, the style made popular by the legendary teacher Hannes Schneider. In 1929, Dennis cleared trees and stumps for the first ski run on Beacon Hill (today's Soda Springs Ski Hill). Dennis rented pine skis with basic toe strap bindings to customers from his ski shop across the street (first on the Summit), and he also offered dog sled and sleigh rides to the Soda Springs Hotel's expanding winter clientele.Dennis Jones also built the first primitive ski lift on Donner Summit for the winter of 1936. The lift, called the "Up-Ski," consisted of a couple of large sleds attached to a cable that passed though a pulley at the top of the hill. As one sled went up the other went down, the upward bound sled carrying several skiers. Jones' "boat tow" was clunky and didn't work very well, but soon rope tow operations were running at various places along Highway 40 including at the Sierra Club's Clair Tappan Lodge. The Clair Tappan was built by volunteers and boasted an excellent ski school staffed by two young Austrian immigrants, brothers Bill and Fred Klein. Affable and technically skilled, Bill would later head the Sugar Bowl ski school By 1936, there were a handful of ski-oriented facilities operating between the Auburn Ski Club's winter park at Cisco and Donner Lake. In the years leading up to World War II, many more were established with rope tow operations dotting the Highway 40 corridor. Because Southern Pacific's tracks ran parallel the highway, skiers and winter sports enthusiasts could take the train to snow country if they did not want to drive. Around the same time, the House of Vanderford Ski Lodge was constructed near the Sierra crest just west of Donner Pass, one-and-a-half miles from Southern Pacific's Norden Ski Hut. Mrs. Jessie A. Vanderford operated the lodge, while William Strickland, a popular and well-known local, provided ski school instruction. Word spread quickly that the Donner Pass/Norden area was a skier's paradise, with reliable snow and a variety of rope tows in operation. Soon organizations like the Sierra Club, and ski clubs from Sacramento, Stockton, Oakland, among others, began providing inexpensive overnight accommodations. After more resorts popped up between Donner Pass and Yuba Gap, including Sugar Bowl, Donner Ski Ranch, and Soda Springs, the Highway 40 corridor was promoted as "America's Finest Ski Area." - Tahoe historian Mark McLaughlin is a nationally published author and professional speaker.

Rest assured that if liberal political organizations had been harassed last year by the Internal Revenue Service, heads would have rolled, on President Barack Obama's orders.
But it was conservative groups - exclusively - that were targeted by the tax agency.
Acting IRS Commissioner Steven Miller's reaction last Tuesday was that the agency showed "a lack of sensitivity."
Miller, of course, knew of the scandal months ago and, despite being asked specifically about it, failed to admit it to members of Congress.
Obama's reaction was that "if in fact" the IRS singled out conservative organizations, "that's outrageous and there's no place for it."
It is known that the agency made the process of seeking non-profit tax status more difficult for organizations identifying themselves as promoting "tea party" and similar conservative philosophies. It is known liberal groups were not subjected to such harassment.
Yet the IRS head talks about "sensitivity." Obama says that "if in fact" the scandal occurred, someone should be punished.
Members of Congress, both Democrats and Republicans, who understand the peril of the executive branch using government to repress political opponents are upset about the IRS scandal. They should be.
They also should be outraged at the reaction from the agency and the White House.
This is an abuse of power than cannot be permitted to be swept under the rug. Lawmakers of all political persuasions should ensure that does not happen.

A quiet, thoughtful guy. Smart and kind and cynical in all the right ways and proportions. You couldn't find a better, more loyal friend. He considers all perspectives but can incisively reject crappy ones. Handsome, tall and slender. Often fair skinned. Adventurous and curious - but a homebody too! An intellectual without being a boring blowhard. Best smile ever.
That guy is a total Burnham! He stood by my side and gave me the best advice. I hope my daughter marries a Burnham.

Great! If we're lucky we might have usable VDPAU acceleration in open-source drivers by this Fall.
Phoronix: Gallium3D VDPAU State Tracker Gets Ready For Action
Christian König of AMD has shared his plans for completing work on the VDPAU state tracker for Gallium3D. This Gallium3D state tracker allows for NVIDIA VDPAU video acceleration using GPU shaders on open-source hardware drivers such as Radeon and Nouveau...
Great! If we're lucky we might have usable VDPAU acceleration in open-source drivers by this Fall.
Absolutely great! This has been THE feature for me in the open source drivers that was needed!
I realized what Cristian was doing these days...now it is Tom's turn
VDPAU is not only an API for decoding - it also includes a presentation API that is much, much more powerful than Xv. These commits are all about the presentation part of VDPAU. There still is no useful decode acceleration support available.
Wait what ? Page-flipping / tear free on secondary displays ? Really ? For sure ?
I always thought that there was an limitation in the underlying drivers that prevented this. It'd be awesome to have this (does it also work on secondary cards ?). I'd be grateful for references / comments on this ...
Hope you guys realise, you absolutely need to tighten GPU acceleration to powermanagement? A machine that is using just even more mA´s due to "acceleration" could leave a bad impression. Ty.
Very nice! Can't wait for the h264 decoding!
Please don't forget to add 10 bit decoding as well!
Damn those Nvidia binary blobs that are constantly trying to take over the world... OSS FTW! </sarcasm>
