Innovative Solutions for Reducing the Costs of College Textbooks
The issues raised by the increasingly higher prices of college textbooks have drawn the attention of many parties, hundreds of faculty chairmen and government representatives nationwide currently working as a team in an attempt to find appropriate solutions for the disproportionate costs of today's student study materials. However, the most efficient and applicable solution to the crisis has been proposed by an unexpected category: online publishers. Their approach to the problem has surprised everyone through its simplicity and practicality, being quickly embraced by both faculty leaders, government authorities and other competent parties.
This recently presented solution basically consists in publishing college textbooks online and relying on advertisers to drag down the costs of such study materials. In theory, this method could actually be considered infallible, as both students and Internet advertisers would greatly benefit from the process: students would be able to purchase their college textbooks online, in exchange for considerably smaller fees, while advertisers would achieve great exposure and popularity for their brands, thus increasing their profits.
The method described by online advertisers basically acts like this: advertisers cover the costs of publishing online college textbooks, while students purchase these ad-containing online textbooks instead of their more expensive counterparts and thus become the targeted market segment for various advertising agencies. Seen through this perspective, the college textbooks of tomorrow will be available under the form of software products and will contain various advertisements. The advertising campaigns promoted with the means of online college textbooks will be fully customizable, accounting for the features required by brand owners and advertisers.
Ads can contain static images, video and audio and can be easily attached to the sponsors?websites. In fact, they can even be interactive, enabling video or taking users to a series of websites or other online resources. These advertisements can be placed at the beginning and ending of a book chapter, at the index, summary, homework section, as well as at the very end of the textbook. The ads can belong to multiple sponsoring online advertising agencies or a single sponsor, taking various shapes according to advertisers?specifications. These types of ads can also be easily included in print versions of e-college textbooks available for purchase both online and offline (in traditional bookstores).
At present, the main college textbook topics chosen by online advertisers are: accounting, financial management, mathematics, computer applications and psychology. Sponsors may later decide to cover up other topics too if the initiative achieves the expected result.
In addition to regularly used, curriculum-required college textbooks, other study materials such as course supplements, supplementary readings and laboratories may also be sponsored by online advertising companies. At first, the advertisements can be introduced locally, in randomly chosen schools from the US, in order to test the efficiency of the method. If the initiative proves to be successful, it can later be applied on a national basis, targeting educational establishments nationwide. Although the project is still under development, online advertisers are very optimistic, already taking pride in having found an effective solution for bringing down the prices of college textbooks.

Barbara Karinska
This article needs additional citations for verification. (May 2013) |
Varvara Jmoudsky, better known as Barbara Karinska or simply Karinska (October 3, 1886 – October 18, 1983), was costumer of the New York City Ballet, and the first costume designer ever to win the Capezio Dance Award, for costumes "of visual beauty for the spectator and complete delight for the dancer".[1]
Along with Dorothy Jeakins, she won the 1948 Oscar for color costume design (the first year costume design was divided into color and black and white categories) for Joan of Arc, and was nominated in 1952 for the Samuel Goldwyn musical Hans Christian Andersen, starring Danny Kaye. She divided her time between homes in Manhattan, Sandisfield, Massachusetts, and Domrémy-la-Pucelle, France, the birthplace of Joan of Arc. For the stage, she designed the costumes for George Balanchine's production of Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker, among others.
Early life[edit]
Barbara Karinska was born Varvara Andreevna Jmoudsky (Russian: Bарвара Андреевна Жмудская) in Kharkov, Ukraine ("Little Russia") in 1886, to a successful textile manufacturer. She was the third and eldest female of the ten Jmoudsky siblings. Russian embroidery was an art form filled with detailed shades and colors of varying texture of stitches – some tiny and fine and others broad and rough. This was Karinska's artistic medium as a child. She studied law at the University of Kharkov and, in 1908, married Alexander Moïssenko, the son of another wealthy Kharkov industrialist. Moïssenko died in 1909 several months before the birth of their daughter Irina. In 1910, Varvara's older brother Anatoly, owner of the moderately Socialist Kharkov newspaper UTRO (Morning), went through divorce proceedings that resulted in Varvara winning custody of his two-year-old son, Vladimir Anatolevich Jmoudsky. Vladimir and Irina were raised as brother and sister.
Varvara soon remarried a prominent Muscovite criminal lawyer, N. S. Karinsky, who was residing in Kharkov. With his law practice burgeoning, the Karinsky family of four moved to Moscow in 1915, to a spacious apartment that Varvara had purchased. Karinsky continued to practice criminal law from the apartment on a strictly pro bono basis and gained fame and prestige throughout the Russian Empire. Varvara, meanwhile, became totally engrossed in the arts and hosted her famous salon every night after the theater or ballet. She developed her own form of painting applying pieces of colored silk gauze to photographs and drawings. Her first subjects were ballet scenes. After much tearing apart and redoing, she exhibited about 12 of her works in a prominent Moscow gallery and was quite successful both financially and critically.
Czar Nicholas II abdicated in March 1917, to the provisional government, first headed by Prince Lvov and then by Alexander Kerensky. N.S. Karinsky was appointed by Lvov as Attorney General and Presiding Justice of the Court of Appeals of the District of St. Petersburg.
As Civil War followed the Bolshevik Revolution of October 1917, The Ministry of the Interior of the White Occupied Southern Territories assigned to N.S. Karinsky the governorship of several southern provinces. Varvara, Irina and Vladimir spent the years of the civil war moving between Kharkov and Crimea; Karinsky joining them where and whenever possible. With the fall of Crimea to the Red forces, in 1921, Karinsky was a marked man, yet he stayed at his post until the very end helping others to escape. Unable to find his family, several of Varvara's sisters and brothers forced him to leave Crimea with them by ship, assuring him that Varvara would soon follow. But Varvara had decided to remain in the "New Russia" and filed a "post card divorce", legitimate and popular during those years of upheaval.
N. S. Karinsky eventually made his way to New York where, unable to speak English, he undertook a variety of menial jobs, including driving a taxi. Nicholas Karinsky never lost his good nature or optimistic philosophy of life. He continued his intellectual pursuits editing for the Russian American press and authored a number of articles and monographs; most notably a history of aviation in pre-revolutionary Russia. When Varvara arrived to New York in 1939, she and Nicholas Karinsky had many friends in common, yet it appears that neither ever sought the other's company. They are buried less than ten yards apart; several of Karinska's siblings between them.
Meanwhile, in 1921, Varvara made her way back to Moscow where she met and married Vladimir Mamontov, son of one of Moscow's wealthiest pre-revolutionary industrialists. Having lost everything, Mamontov remained with nothing except his charm, beautiful piano playing and the delusion that someday his late father's fortune would be returned to him.
Lenin's New Economic Policy (1921–1928) provided for limited capitalism to help finance his new regime exhausted and debilitated by three years of civil war. Karinska went way beyond Lenin's limits. She opened a Tea Salon that became the meeting place of Moscow artists, intellectuals and government officials every afternoon at five o'clock. In the same complex she founded an haute-couture and a millinery atelier to dress the wives of the Soviet elite. She opened an antique store and an embroidery school where she taught the needle arts to the proletariat.
Karinska's reasons for leaving Russia are multifold. First there was the death of Lenin in 1924 and the uncertainty of what was to come; secondly, within weeks after Lenin's death the new regime nationalized her embroidery school and turned it into a factory to manufacture Soviet flags (In exchange, she was awarded the title of "Inspector of Fine Arts"); thirdly and primarily, Mamontov, a chronic alcoholic and incapable of performing any kind of work was a symbol of bourgeois decadence and his arrest was imminent.
Karinska devised a plan to save Mamontov. Supported by Anatoly Lunacharsky, Minister of Education and long time friend of her father, she proposed to take a large number of embroideries made by her students to exhibit in Western European cities as a "good will" gesture to demonstrate the great cultural advances that the young Soviet regime was making. The proposition was enthusiastically accepted across the high ranks, although Lunacharsky and others knew quite well what she was up to.
With corruption widely practiced throughout the Soviet government, an exit visa was obtained for Mamontov who left immediately for Germany where he had cousins in exile. A few weeks later Karinska, Irina and Vladimir left together from Moscow station on a Berlin-bound train. Irina boarded the train whimpering under the weight of a huge chapeau. "Stop whining!" her mother would scold. Later the girl of 14 learned that the hat was filled with diamonds. Vladimir boarded the train with a suitcase filled with his Soviet school books, American hundred dollar bills, bought on the black market, hidden between the pages. Karinska boarded the train waving and blowing kisses to the crowd that came to bid her bon voyage. But the crates with her student's embroideries framed under glass had, hidden underneath each, antique embroideries sewn by the ladies-in-waiting to the Russian Empresses of the past centuries.
Reuniting with Vladimir Mamontov in Berlin, the family of four headed for Brussels where Karinska's father and several brothers and sisters were living. But Brussels was too quiet for Karinska and after a few months they moved to Paris.
Life in Paris[edit]
After two years of luxurious living in Paris, all the treasures brought from Russia were gone. The family was forced to move to a popular quarter of the city of lights and Karinska looked desperately for any and every kind of work using her skills of sewing and embroidery. With her beauty and aplomb she had no difficulty meeting whoever she wanted to meet. It wasn't long before she made her first costume; an elaborately embroidered robe designed by Boris Bilinsky for the 1927 motion picture The Loves of Casanova. More single orders followed and then larger and larger ones. All the time Irina and Vladimir worked with her.
A newly formed ballet company, the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo, directed by Colonel de Basil and René Blum requested she make costumes for their first season. The costumes were designed by Christian Bérard, André Derain, and Joan Miró, and the choreography was by George Balanchine and Leonide Massine, both choreographers with whom she had worked previously. Bérard, Derain, and Miró would provid a general sketch, an idea, but it would be Karinska who expounded upon the concept, modified it, chose the fabric, quality and quantity, and decided how the concept would be implemented. Karinska soon became in Paris, the premiere interpreter of the costume for the ballet and musical theater.
During Karinska's brief career in Paris she collaborated with Bèrard, Derain, Miró, Balthus, Cassandre, Soudeikine, and Vertès, amongst a long list of painters and designers. She costumed the plays of Jean Cocteau and Louis Jouvet. In 1933, Karinska costumed Les Ballets 1933 (designed by Bèrard, Derain, and Tchelitchev amongst others), Balanchine's six ballets in Paris before he left for New York.
Life in London[edit]
In 1936, and free of Mamontov for several years, a series of circumstances led Karinska to make the decision to leave Paris. Her daughter remained and the business was reopened under the name "Irène Karinska". Barbara Karinska and Vladimir, sponsored by Mme. Hayward Court Dressmaker, settled in London. The partnership was short lived and, after a second short-lived partnership with another prestigious London dress firm, Karinska and Vladimir rented the Sir Joshua Reynolds House where they each took an upper floor for their respective flats while the spacious lower floors housed the costume making facilities.
The London years were far more prosperous than Paris. They costumed ballet, musical revue, Shakespeare, and cinema while still attending to Louis Jouvet back in Paris. Together with Bérard, Karinska and Vladimir experimented very successfully with new materials never before used in theater. Here Karinska began her long collaborative relationship with Cecil Beaton.
But war was in the making and early in 1939, Karinska abandoned her London empire, on short notice, and moved permanently to the United States, leaving her nephew to close the business with honor; evacuate Reynolds's House and liquidate his aunt's accumulation of costume sketches and antiques. Irène came to London immediately to sign all release documents in her mother's place.
England and France declared war on Germany in September, 1939, and Vladimir, feeling greater allegiance to France than to England, returned to Paris and enlisted in the French army. Wounded, captured and escaping from a German POW camp, made his way to the South of France where Karinska's sister, Angelina, was living. Angelina, who had just received Karinska's address in New York from Irène in Paris, by way of the underground, put mother and adopted son in touch once more.
Balanchine, who had relocated to the United States, had given Karinska an unused room at the fledgling School of American Ballet in New York City for her to work. From this space she collaborated with Salvador Dalí on Venusberg from Tannheuser for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo—recently recently relocated in New York—in the fall of 1939. Through Dalí, Karinska made friends with the Spanish Consul and confided to him her nephew's case. Vladimir received instructions to make his way to the Spanish border where he would be provided safe transit to a ship leaving Lisbon for New York, via Havana. Emaciated and sickly, he arrived to New York in January 1941 where he was smothered by his aunts hugs and kisses. His new apartment awaited him at the mansion that Karinska was renting on E. 56th Street.
Karinska at that time was ridding herself of her partners, "The Princess and the Baron", from a fly by night venture in haute-couture. She kept the mansion; the name Karinska Inc. and the parquet floor that the Baron had had brought to New York from a family castle in France.
Shortly after Vlady's arrival they began executing the designs of Karinska's arch rival Irene Sharaff for Gypsy Rose Lee. Miss Lee believed that Karinska understood the impact of her performance and enhanced her ability to deliver her unique style of burlesque to the audience. Vladimir hit it off well with Sharaff and made it possible for the two rivals to work together.
But rivalry soon ensued between Vladimir and Kermit Love who designed Agnes de Mille's Rodeo for the Ballet Russe de Monte Carlo. Vladimir and Love were both makers of masks and hard costumes. But the rivalry was short lived as Vladimir was drafted into the United States Army.
Since the German occupation of Paris, Karinska had lost contact with her daughter, Irène, who was living in Sarthe at the family residence of her husband, Xavier François. It was Vladimir the soldier who found Irène days before the liberation of Paris and from his nearby barracks wrote to Karinska special delivery informing her that she was a grandmother twice over. Vladimir entered the American Army in 1943 as Private Vladimir Jmoudsky and returned to civilian life in 1945 as Lieutenant Lawrence Vlady.
Back to work with Karinska, Vlady brought to the great costumer something she had never known: American military order, discipline and administration. The 56th Street mansion was soon abandoned; Karinska Inc. was liquidated and the Karinska-Vlady enterprise, KARINSKA Stage and Art Inc., made its debut in a rather unsightly loft on W. 44th Street where Karinska's costumes, always delivered at the last moment, could be walked over to the theaters if needs be. The affordable rent of the dusty atelier permitted Karinska to purchase a townhouse on E. 63rd St. (where the Baron's parquet floor was installed); a house in Joan of Arc's home town, Domrémy-la-Pucelle, in the Lorraine region of Eastern France, and a George Washington period house that she named "Saint Joan Hill" in Sandisfield, Massachusetts.
During the war years, while Karinska took extensive leaves to supervise costume production for motion pictures in Hollywood, she would rent her 56th St. mansion and her staff to ballet and theater companies, ventures that always ended in misunderstandings. With Vlady permanently settled in New York, he would run the business while Karinska worked in Hollywood. Under this arrangement she won her Oscar for Joan of Arc and her Oscar nomination for Hans Christian Andersen. These were the "Golden Years". The label "KARINSKA Stage and Art Inc." was sewn into costumes for Ice Shows, Musicals, legitimate theater, motion pictures, lyric opera and the most important for the Lady from Kharkov –Ballet.
At the end of the German occupation of Paris, Irène Karinska reopened her costume atelier and worked successfully until retirement in the 1970s. Due to the fact that Irène's work was often credited as "Costumes par Karinska", researchers have credited much of her work to her mother. An example of the confusion between mother and daughter was found in a well-intentioned contribution to this very article. It credited costume design of the 1953 French film adaptation of La Dame aux Camélias to Barbara Karinska when, in fact, the costumes were designed by Rosine Delamere and executed by Irène Karinska. Costumes designed by Raoul Dufy, Georges Braque, Leonor Fini, and Yves St Laurent (for Roland Petit) are the work of Irène Karinska. Costumes for the 1958 Oscar winning musical, Gigi, were designed by Cecil Beaton and executed by Irène Karinska.
Aunt and nephew parted ways in 1964, at which time Karinska was invited by Balanchine to join the New York City Ballet at the New York State Theater at Lincoln Center, newly injected with generous grants from the Ford Foundation. This period –often praised by critics as Karinska's greatest and condemned by others for "garish" colors–, witnessed Balanchine's new "Firebird", in 1970, which Karinska created from the sketches of Marc Chagall. Karinska and Chagall had been close friends and mutual artistic admirers since Moscow in the 1920s. With the "Firebird" collaboration, their friendship was rekindled and Karinska would spend several weeks each summer of her final creative years with Madame and Monsieur Chagall at their home in St Paul de Vence, in the south of France.
Karinska's final work was Balanchine's 1977 "Vienna Waltz'". Both aging during the 1970s Balanchine and Karinska created a fantasy ballet, "Birds of America," based on the drawings of John Jay Audubon. Elaborate beyond possibility, "Birds of America" was never meant to be materialized; it was a means to keep their attention on life and beauty. Balanchine would spend long sojourns at Karinska's Berkshire home. Karinska would make endless sketches by pasting pieces of fine fabric onto pencil-drawn figures on heavy watercolor paper. They would walk in the woods daily and Balanchine would choreograph by imitating the dances of different birds. They both passed away in 1983, Balanchine in April and Karinska in October; two weeks after her 97th birthday.
In 1999, Karinska was inducted into the National Museum of Dance's Mr. & Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt Whitney Hall of Fame.
The "Powder Puff" Tutu[edit]
With a large assembly of dancers on stage – as was often preferred by Balanchine—the traditional "pancake" tutu with its stiff wired layer would bob and dip when the dancers' skirts brushed up against one another and this bobbing and dipping would reverberate long after the steps were complete.
Karinska solved this problem by devising the "powder puff" tutu, with a shorter skirt made of six or seven layers of gathered net, each layer a half inch longer than the preceding layer. The layers were tacked together for a fluffier, looser appearance than the stiff "pancake" tutu. Because the shorter layers are self-supporting, no wire hoop is needed in the "powder puff" tutu, aka the Balanchine-Karinska tutu.
This tutu design has become standard in ballet companies all over the world since it first appeared in 1950, in the ballet Symphony in C. Balanchine said, "I attribute to [Karinska] fifty percent of the success of my ballets to those that she has dressed."
Karinska collaborated with Balanchine on seventy-five ballets in all. The first ballet she made for Balanchine from her own designs was Bourrée Fantasque in 1949. In 1956, for Balanchine's Allegro Brillante, Karinska created the knee-length chiffon ballet dress, which has also become a standard design for ballet costumes.

PMID: 19378252 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
In order to evaluate the evolutionary preservation of developmental programs during nematode embryogenesis, we searched for close relatives of the model system Caenorhabditis elegans with deviant patterns. The parthenogenetically reproducing species Diploscapter coronatus shows prominent differences to C. elegans. While in the 2-cell stage of C. elegans a rotation of the nuclear/centrosome complex is found only in the posterior P1 cell, in D. coronatus cell isolation indicates that rotation takes place in a cell-autonomous manner in both blastomeres, resulting in a linear 4-cell array. In C. elegans, the ABp cell becomes different from its ABa sister via a germline-induced induction. In D. coronatus, AB daughters do not touch the germline but nevertheless execute different fates, suggesting a cell-autonomous mechanism or signaling over distance. Laser ablation experiments revealed that active migration of the EMS cell is required to transform the linearly ordered blastomeres into a 3-dimensional embryo, and the difference can be most easily explained with a heterochronic shift with respect to cell mobility. In D. coronatus, reversal of cleavage polarity in the germline, typical for C. elegans, is absent. This results in four different transient variants of posterior blastomeres which eventually merge into a single pattern prior to the onset of gastrulation. This merging includes primordial germ cell migrations of variable extent toward the gut precursor cell and suggests a specific cell-cell recognition mechanism. Cell distribution in advanced embryos is essentially indistinguishable between both species. |

But still with contract
If I am not mistaken, they will offer plans for a bit less, but you are still committed to a 2 year contract. I don't see a reason to pay full price, and still commit to a contract. Which probably means there will be ETF if you decide to leave.
Anyway T-Mo is only 3 years later then the other providers to offer iPhone. |

No subsidy would mean unlocked phones from the get-go like overseas, right?
I would certainly hope so, but I really wonder if American carriers would be willing to allow it. -- N |

The monthly cost of US plans tends to include money to cover that subsidy for the phone. And usually winds up costing you more than the phone would.

No subsidies for lower monthly fees? I would like that!
Especially since I already don't do upgrades.

You enter a 24 month contract and you are told that you get a free iPhone 5. In reality, the carrier pays $649 to Apple, and the bill for the service is $27 higher than it should be, so that other 24 months you pay $649 to the carrier. Actually, your bill is $40 higher than it should be, and 24 x $40 - $649 is profit for the carrier. After 24 months, you have paid for your iPhone. There is no reason why you should continue paying the high rate. Consider this: You could (A) continue using your iPhone 5 for another two years. Or (B) cancel the contract, put your iPhone 5 into a drawer, get an iPhone 6 or 7 for "free" and start a new two year contract. Since (B) is $649 more expensive for the carrier, why should they charge the same amount for (A)? |

I talked them down to $65 with two discounts shortly in to my contract, but I only had 200mb of Data, 200 texts, and 450 minutes a month. After 2 and a half years with an iPhone 2G, I signed up with another contract when I got a launch day iPhone 4. (I wouldn't have even done that if my iPhone 2G's Wifi didn't stop working, but it was impossible to keep on that plan.) After a very lengthy debate about overage text charges through using the AIM app (I still don't know how they got my AIM message-exchange data) I got them to drop a bill, and my contract went down to $62. (OOH!!!) When that contract was up, I immediately got Straight Talk. It was a huge fiasco to get MMS to work after 3 months without it, I had to switch over to YouMail because there is no native Visual Voicemail support, and I still constantly have to toggle Airplane mode on and off at least once a month because it errors out when connecting to cell data. At least that was $45 for unlimited everything. The only reason I'm not on T-Mobile yet is no Visual Voicemail support. Not even YouMail works on a relative's T-Mobile iPhone 4. At this point, I don't care at all. For $30 a month, I can get 100 minutes, unlimited text, and unlimited web. If they carry the iPhone, they will either implement Visual Voicemail or provide a solution for those that have the iPhone on a prepaid plan. Until then, for $30, I can call my voicemail like I used to. This major contract bull with AT&T / Verizon / Sprint is for the birds. My parents got Virgin Mobile long ago and have been happy. When I call them, the quality of their $20-$40 flip phones is no different than if they had a $200 smart phones, and they aren't paying an arm and a leg each month. Heck, they don't even have a bill each month - it's $20 every 3 months. T-Mobile has me as a customer as of February 1st. No more contracts, no more major carrier games, no more obscene fees. Each year the new iPhone comes out, I get the previous year's iPhone at half the price, and put it on a cheap prepaid plan. No headache switching over to the Lightning connector when I have a collection of 30-Pin docks and cables, and no huge upfront cost or marked up high-demand in the Marketplace here. A year old phone on a prepaid plan, upgraded to the next phone each year. Suck it, carriers. Holy crap, my posts are always long-winded.

It will get interesting when Amazon
1) makes its own smartphone 2) makes its own version of Wal-Mart Straightalk (something like $40 a month for unlimited talk, text and 2.5 GB of data as a T-Mobile MVNO) If Amazon No Contract Wireless get 2-3% margin, that's in line with their overall business. p.s. It's almost a certainty that Amazon will jump into the smartphone business. It's just a matter of when. And like Google selling Nexus devices at cost, Amazon will likely too. |

The big difference is that in Europe, with the unsubsidized phones comes the freedom to choose any carrier you want. Here, you have to buy a phone specific to the carrier. If you get an unlocked GSM phone, then you can either choose AT&T, T-Mobile, or one of the pre-paid plans using their network. Not really that much choice for the consumer.
So if Verizon starts doing this, then you'll be stuck with your a $650 paperweight if you decide you want to leave for another carrier. I think VZ likes locking people into contracts too much to follow through with this. It'd be more fair if the government forced carriers to have compatible LTE, so a consumer can switch out LTE cards to switch service like unlocked GSM phones. Seeing as this is never going to happen, I'm not thrilled with the prospect of carriers ditching subsidized phones. I'm with VZ for the time being, but if they ever revoke my unlimited data I will buy a Nexus and use go the GSM prepaid route. Hopefully Google is the one who buys Dish Network and offers an affordable wireless plan. |

Are you serious, the contract price pays for the handset. Once you are out of contract the handset is payed off and you should get either a new handset with new contract or a cheaper price plan. That is the way it works here in the UK anyway, when your contract expires you can get moved onto a cheaper sim only type price plan with most operators. Paying the same price after the handset is paid for is a rip off.

Sooo... Right about the time the 5S comes out?
_________________________________________ Quote:
I'll probably save even more (well, not spend as much...) because I'm suspecting this is going to be synced with the release of 5S, and I'll just get the 5 (& wife will get the 4). I can't imagine the 5S is going to have any killer feature that I'll just have to have. So that's my plan, and I'm... eh never mind. We'll see what happens.

This is slightly off topic but,
is Tmobile reframing their network for current iPhone users to have 3G and HSPA+ EVERYWHERE or just mainly in the popular cities among the USA? As an iPhone 4s user, I would like 3g mainly for GPS purposes, 2g is rather slow. However, I may get an iPhone 5 or later if this article is true. |

For example, right now: You pay a $200 subsidized price for your iPhone 5 + $100 a month for service for 2 years on contract. ($2600 total cost of ownership for 2 years) In the future, you have two options. Option 1: Pay $650 upfront for your iPhone 5. Then $100 a month for service for 2 years. ($3050 total cost of ownership for 2 years) Option 2: Finance the phone over 2 years. $100 a month for service for 2 years + $27.08 a month for 2 years to pay off the phone (Assuming it is interest and fee free). ($3050 total cost of ownership for 2 years). So, unless the carrier offers about $18.75 off your bill each month for buying or financing an unsubsidized phone, it will cost the consumer an extra $450 over 2 years for an iPhone 5 16GB. If you have multiple phones in your household, the cost would greatly increase. Perhaps the trade-off is being contract free, but due to GSM/CDMA, you are still kind of limited. Seems like a lose-lose for consumers in the short term, at least. |

Except I can take my Verizon iPhone 5 to any GSM carrier in the US (even international) at anytime and it works fine...even under contract. LTE won't work domestically due to the difference in bands, but that's a spectrum issue, not any company policy. LTE will work overseas in very limited markets.

Well that's the problem with AT&T they won't lower the price just because you didn't use a subsidy. You are basically just giving at&t free money or paying for other peoples subsidies. That's why T-mo is trying the idea of no subsidies, but lower monthly prices. It's more realistic that way. The only advantage that I could see buying off contract with AT&T is that you wouldn't be locked in for as long. I'm pretty sure at&t still requires a contract though... probably just shorter term would be possible.

Given the nature of the telecom industry, I can understand being a bit pessimistic, but I see this as a positive. Over the past ten years, my wife and I have had subsidized phones for exactly two years. The rest of the time we either were using the phones that we had, or we bought unlocked phones because we weren't satisfied with the features on the phones available from AT&T. So, effectively, we've paid for ten phones, but only received two. If we assume that the cost is about $20 per month per line, then the eight years that we've been out of contract with AT&T has represented paying them $3840 more than their services actually cost. That's a chunk of change. So, as I said, I'm optimistic about this, at least for now... |

That's an original strategy on their part. I've never heard of anything like that in Canada. Of the big providers here, all the plans cost the same and the contracts are 3 years and not 2.

Siller is the Staten Island firefighter who lost his life in the World Trade Center attacks on 9/11, having run in full firefighting gear through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel to get to Ground Zero. The annual Tunnel to Towers Run commemorates his heroic feat.
After his death his family created the "Let Us Do Good" Foundation in his name to help others in need. The foundation's latest mission is to support the building of homes for wounded veterans who've returned from the Middle East, including Brendan Marrocco.
The project began during Catholic Schools Week, when third- and fourth-graders decided they would like to do something to benefit their community.
"One of the themes of Catholic Schools Week was to involve students in giving back to the community and helping those in need," explained third-grade teacher Stacey Porazzo.
Students discussed in class what they could do to support a non-profit charity that helps others in the community. Since a number of student have parents and relatives who are police officers, firefighters and first-responders, the Siller foundation came up in discussion, Ms. Porazzo said.
Siller's brothers, George and Frank Siller, came to the class to talk about their brother, the Let Us Do Good Foundation, and the work of the foundation. Students were impressed with the work being done."We decided we wanted to raise money to help people and help soldiers have better homes," explained third-grader Edmund Lowry.
His classmate Grace Schaaf said the whole class was inspired. "We were proud of the Sillers for helping people in need, so we decided we wanted to help also," she added.
The 8- and 9-year-olds decided they could best help raise funds for the foundation by organizing a bake sale. They brought in cupcakes and other baked goods to sell to students during their lunch periods.
Word traveled around school quickly, and the response was overwhelming. The bake sale had to be extended for a second day.
In all, the kids wound up raising more than $600 for the Siller Foundation. The money has been turned over to the family.
The experience left students inspired that they could make a difference.
Fourth-grader Andrew Boyd said he was happy to do his part in the bake sale "because the money goes to the Stephen Siller Foundation to help soldiers."
Classmate Anna Lopez said the project "made us all feel good because we knew we were helping the needy."

I don't know that Kaepernick is that guy, but I know Alex Smith is not. Tie his hands behind his back & you might get there with a strong running game & a stout defense.
You add a QB to that run game & defense, & you've got the Giants.
Alex Smith, is fools gold. Makes you think you can do it. Gets you close, but in reality you're not close at all. If it weren't that fumble, it would have been a 3 & out, a monster punt return, & a Super Bowl MVP type QB eliminating you anyway.
Well it was a field goal and it was overtime. You can't say for sure they would go 3 & out.
I get what your saying and i agree they need to upgrade Alex Smith, but Harbaugh really botched this situation. I'm not sure they can go back to Alex and expect him to play the same knowing that they are going to replace him asap. So now their superbowl hopes are resting on basically a rookie with no postseason experience when the starting qb who got you to nfc champ almost the superbowl was having his best year ever. It's like hes taking a gamble with money he can't afford to lose.
The playoffs are tough and you don't know how long your window is in this league. Theres always a team or two on the rise dieing to take their spot. I don't think you can waste a postseason hoping that kaepernick is the one.
Who knows Kap could go on a huge tear and take them to the superbowl, but more likely he doesn't and makes some mistakes. I could see 49ers fans being rightfully pissed. So I would say 20% chance Harbaugh looks like a genius. 80% he messed up a superbowl contending team. This was a terrible gamble that he obviously made being a prisoner of the moment.

Red is the color of the blood that flowed
Down the face of Someone Who loved us so
He's the perfect man, He's the Lord's own son,
He's the Lamb of God, He's the only one
That can give us life, that can make us grow,
That can make the love between us flow.

30 designs? And you figure you will be done by the time you're 75?? Don't count on it Buddy, 'cuz every time you finish off one, you will find that your list has grown by at least two!! I'm 72, and I tell you the truth...
I have a dozen models on the go as we speak, some closer to flying than others, plus a half-dozen repairs; meantime, I inherited a dozen or so kits, and my plans stash is ~ 600 or so. What chance do I have? ;-) |

Hey guys, I'm glad I'm not alone. Bill and the "GW- aka Lancer" think a good basement clean up is to start with a dumpster and throw everything out. Thanks TLyttle, I don't feel so bad about having many models on the go. My oldest is from the 1960's....I ran out of ideas and never finished it, next is a kit I started in 1974, framed it, then hung it up. There's always something new around the corner, or even regular maintenance keeps one busy.
Perhaps a linguistically modified name like Crimson Wind would fit??
Latest blog entry: Mibo Electra 3.9 F5J/ALES Sailplane
But then again..It's MY hobby isnt it..not like it's work, I don't have a set schedule or plan or number of items I MUST finish. That might be my problem..I tend to go about this like I'm at work. I mean I LOVE to build, but I get to a point sometimes where I have a bird partially done, and something else catches my eye, but I stay on the straight and narrow and finish what I've started...what do you guys think?

hmmmm - welllllll, no ones said wether my RZ's LOOK like RZ's or not, so i'm gonna go with this idea (not Crimson Wind - though its nicely original and quite clever), i'll call it a "Red Zephyr variant" by type and name her the "Mistress Misty" - which is a play on words my wife used to use, because her maiden name began with a 'T' therefore she was known in her friends social circles as Miss T - or Misty, for fun, see. But i can't call the plane a 'Misty' as it stands because there's already a plane design called 'Misty' so, since she can be quite bossy at times i'm going with 'Mistress Misty'. At least by flattering her a little by naming the RZ variant after her, she's not going to complain (as much) about losing her kitchen table for 3 months during the build Lol.....
btw - i'd still appreciate any input on the matter of how much (or not) my variant resembles the original RZ -i can't ask fellow flying buddies, since they have little in depth knowledge of the vintage scene.......Rick oh, and rather rudely, i forgot to answer the ealier question 'how well does it fly?' Well, i can honestly say very nicely. it does have a tendancy to drop its nose power off and climb a bit too much at WOT, but thats just my bad (lazy) trimming, this has been totally cured by a naughty 'get around fix' using a p mix to add a tiny bit of down elevator at WOT and a corresponding bit of up that comes in at low stick. The wider chord helps drop the wing loading and the shorter moment makes the (widened) elevator even more responsive. why do i want that on a vintage? someone's gonna say. well, when i get bored doing very high slow circuits gently nudging the rudder servo, i do like to bring her in low for a spot of tight n'twisty 'knap of the Earth' flying - shes one of those designs you can stand on a wingtip at zero feet (almost) and do slow/tight chest high figure eights it does need a little washout i found to stop the dreaded tip stall - the mini (36") version has no washout and is a bit prone to dropping a wing suddenly in a slow tight turn. when i build the big one's (sorry - the "Mistress Misty"s) wings i'll be adding around 1 1/2 inches of washout - plus i'm real tempted to also build the LE slats for the slowest possible flight charactaristic. I don't thing the original RZ was intended, or probably, even capable, of the extreme tight n'slow fun flying. further btw ; looks like she's heading for 12lb now, there's 6 lb of payload and non-negotiable weight penalty in there. still, she''l have a loading of just 16 Oz/ft - not too bad for a big-un. i'm currently researching airfoils for her - the wing is a hefty 2 1/2" thick at the 33%, max thickness position. Edit: added a couple of pics of the fus skeleton under construction. Would anyone be interested in a build thread for this big ol' timer ???? |

Mosque at Ground Zero
Weigh in on Ground Zero Mosque
Posted: 10:22 AM ET A plan to build a mosque near Ground Zero - sacred ground for many Americans - is being met with outrage. At issue: a 19th-century building and whether it can be designated a landmark. If it is designated a landmark, the original building will remain. If not, American Muslim groups will tear it down and move ahead with plans to build an inter-faith community center and mosque. Both sides continue to go head-to-head on the issue. Their most recent face-off: a passionate three-hour hearing held by New Yorks Landmarks Preservation Commission last night. Those opposing the mosque dominated the hearing. "It would be a terrible mistake to destroy a 154-year-old building in order to build a monument to terrorism," one woman said. "We feel that it is a cemetery and sacred ground and the dead should be honored," Pamela Geller, a conservative blogger, said on CNNs American Morning. "To build a 13-story mega mosque on the cemetery, on the site of the largest attack in American history, I think, is incredibly insensitive." On the other side- some Muslim community leaders say the mosque could provide an opportunity for improving interfaith relations. "We're saying Muslims have a legitimate role to play in the social fabric of this country," said Ibrahim Ramey, the director of the Human and Civil Rights Division of the Muslim American Society Freedom Foundation, on CNN's "American Morning. "I'm ashamed to be an American today," said Rakif Gathwari, a Muslim-American, who reminded the crowd that people from many countries and religions died on September 11. http://newsroom.blogs.cnn.com/2010/0...d-zero-mosque/ Love to hear peoples views on this. I find it a facinating debate I hope it catches a little steam here |

it looks to me like the muslims are just trying to start shit. of course the americans aren't going to appreciate muslim-architecture on the site of a muslim-attack, they know this. they get what they want when the americans protest, "look at us, we want to build a religious structure and they won't let us, we're oppressed."
realistically it should have nothing to do with the religious affiliation of the architecture and everything to do with where it's being built. unfortunately you get a problem that's right in the middle. |

I agree you build a mosque then build a church of every religion that is practised in American. That would be dumb so a Cultural centre would be something more politically correct.

I see no problem with it, only people without brains think only Muslim extremists were behind the heinous acts of 9/11. Sad really, when they are living with terrorists in their own government and are so oblivious to the facts.

If a christian fundamentalist blew up one of your family members houses because "they were a sinner" how would you feel if a christian church was put in it's place? It would certainly rub me the wrong way. Additionally, I would be worried for the safety of the people who are members of the mosque. I wouldn't put it passed an "american extremist" (aka an ignorant dumb ass) to blow the place up. Have to go with no for those reasons. |

What exactly do you mean by "were behind the heninous acts"? You are clearly allocating responsibility to others parties, aside from the Muslim extremists. And based on the following sentence, it seems as though you are suggesting the American government was somehow "behind" 9/11. Now, to be clear, I think the American government, like a number of governments, has some douchenozzles working within various departments and affiliated agencies, but to suggest the US government was somehow behind 9/11 is a bold statement. Do you mean indirectly? For example, are you refering to the government implementing shitty foreign policy? Or are you going to suggest the US government played a bigger role? Elaborate. |

They can build their mosque somewhere else, why do they have to build it at ground zero?
If they get approval and build it, I bet it will get vandalized or worse continuously. It's a lose-lose proposition. |

maybe is a symbol from urban planners to show the world that america is willing to move on from its ignorance and place something of importance to islam near ground zero to show the world that they stopped blaming muslims for everything and instead blame the extremists and terrorists responsible.

Ongoing Budget Battle Smacks Dow to Six-Week Low
"The market hates uncertainty, and we have a lot of it
currently," noted Schaeffer's Senior Technical Strategist Ryan
Detrick, CMT. "The government shutdown keeps getting the headlines,
but under the surface, the much bigger concern is the debt ceiling
decision, which comes to a head on Oct. 17. To me, we can live with
a government shutdown, but need to get a resolution on the debt
ceiling pronto." Words from President Obama failed to bring comfort
to investors, as the
Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI)
trended lower throughout the day, closing with a triple-digit loss.
Continue reading for more on today's market, including
- Schaeffer's Senior Trading Analyst Bryan Sapp identifies the "serious weakness under the surface" seen in today's trading.
- Intel ( INTC ) option players are bearish ahead of next week's earnings report , judging from today's put-buying activity.
- In case you missed it, our CEO and founder Bernie Schaeffer explains why volatility could be approaching a short-term peak .
- President Obama talks tough, two Federal Reserve officials
revisit "tapering," and Nokia (
) is targeted by put buyers.
Once again, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJI - 14,776.53) spent the entire session in the red, as its losses gradually built throughout the session. By the bell, the blue-chip index settled at its lowest close since Aug. 27, down 159.7 points, or 1.1%. Wal-Mart Stores ( WMT ) paced the three advancing Dow names with a gain of 1.4%, while Visa ( V ) continued to lead the declining majority, shedding 2% on the day.
The S&P 500 Index (SPX - 1,655.45) was sharply lower as well, losing 20.7 points, or 1.2%, to close south of its 80-day moving average for the first time since Sept. 4. The Nasdaq Composite (COMP - 3,694.83) surrendered even more of its value, giving back 75.5 points, or 2%, to close just shy of its intraday low.
The CBOE Market Volatility Index (VIX - 20.34) continued to gain ground, adding 0.9 point, or 4.8%. The fear barometer has closed above the 20 level just three times in 2013.
A Trader's Take :
"Earnings season is upon us, but today remained all about Republicans versus Democrats in another session fueled by Washington drama," summarized Detrick. "Elsewhere, momentum names that had held up so well previously were crushed today, and former leaders like small-caps and tech stocks finally cracked. You could argue all groups need to drop before a major bottom can form, and this could be phase one of that."
3 Things to Know About Today's Market :
- President Barack Obama addressed reporters at 2 p.m. ET, fielding questions about the ongoing -- and so far unproductive -- budget negotiations. Seemingly placing all blame squarely on House Speaker John Boehner's (R-Ohio) shoulders, the commander in chief pled, "Let's stop the excuses. Let's take a vote in the House. Let's end this shutdown right now ." Meanwhile, Mr. Boehner continued to chastise Democratic leaders for "refusing to negotiate." (The Washington Post)
- The "taper" specter emerged from the shadows today, as two Federal Reserve officials opined that the U.S. economic backdrop is healthy enough to endure a gradual decrease in the central bank's bond-buying efforts. Sandra Pianalto and Charles Plosser -- respective presidents of the Cleveland and Philadelphia Feds -- made separate remarks indicating they would have liked to see a pullback in asset purchases beginning with last month's Federal Open Market Committee meeting. (MarketWatch)
- The International Monetary Fund (IMF) lowered its forecast for global economic expansion, amid slowing growth in emerging markets and continued ambiguity in the U.S. The IMF now projects global growth of 2.9% and 3.6% for 2013 and 2014, respectively. This is down from the 5.4% growth rate seen in 2007. (The New York Times)
5 Stocks We Were Watching Today :
- Volume spiked in LinkedIn ( LNKD ) option pits, as near-term traders scooped up calls and puts expiring this week.
- Bearish speculators -- or perhaps shareholders seeking a short-term hedge -- flocked to Nokia Corporation's ( NOK ) options pits today.
- Already a favorite among the brokerage bunch, Starbucks Corporation (SBUX) earned a price-target hike from Piper Jaffray ahead of the opening bell.
- Bearish options trading heated up on Citigroup (C) ahead of next week's earnings release.
- Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) has taken a recent tumble, prompting accelerated put buying and a price-target cut at BMO today.
For a look at today's options movers and commodities activity, head to page 2.
Commodities :
Oil futures moved modestly higher, as crude watchers await tomorrow's weekly update on petroleum inventories. By the close, November-dated oil had gained 46 cents, or 0.5%, to settle at $103.49 per barrel.
Gold futures were little changed, with investors hesitant to make a move amid continued wrangling in Washington. December gold futures settled with a fractional loss of 50 cents, at $1,324.60 per ounce.

Longmont City Telecommunications Services Re-establishment Question (November 2011)
A Longmont City Telecommunications Services Re-establishment Question was on the November 1, 2011 ballot in the City of Longmont which is in Boulder County.
This measure was approved
This measure sought to re-establish the City's right to provide advanced services, telecommunication services and also cable television services. These services had been restricted by a revised state of the Colorado constitution.[2] Proponents of the measure noted that the city owns the infrastructure so it should be up to the city on how it is used. Though opponents said that the measure seems anti-competitive and may encourage the city pick what businesses they want to operate those services and drive away competition.[3]
Text of measure
Amendment Question 2A
The question on the ballot:
Without increasing taxes, shall the citizens of the City of Longmont, Colorado, re‐establish their City's right to provide all services restricted since 2005 by Title 29, article 27 of the Colorado Revised Statutes, described as "advanced services," "telecommunications services" and "cable television services," including any new and improved high bandwidth services based on future technologies, utilizing community owned infrastructure including but not limited to the existing fiber optic network, either directly or indirectly with public or private sector partners, to potential subscribers that may include telecommunications service providers, residential or commercial users within the City and the service area of the City's electric utility enterprise?[4] |

Before reading the previous review , I did not know that mark Hamill was not in this audiobook, I love all the Star Wars (Dramatizied) audiobooks so much, it is like watching the movie inside your head . It is the greatest listening experience I have had. I am speaking of the series, not just Return of the Jedi, which I loved, though minus Billy Dee, whose voice is very distinctive I felt a little cheated but it was still great because all the other characters are so well casted to the original voices. I loved Ann Sachs, her voice is captivating as Leia and Perry King as Han Solo is very good and they have good chemistry in this book. This is the best audiobook ever as far as I am concerned. I don't know why it is not number one every week.
"Shock Therapy Macro"
I loved this book, I thought I knew all the evils of Iraq and had read it all but this book took me further down the rabbit hole plus gives other example of how war and chaos are artificially manufactured to create the shock that allows leaders to manipulate the populace to warped capitalistic theories.
"Scattered short Essays"
This is not a book, it is a scattered disjointed collection of musings about randomness and irrational thinking with stock brokering as the central metaphor to explain all concepts. Its like he wrote down various thoughts on the toilet bowl on various days some of which the paper should have been used at said instead of being included this book. This book has no flow even when he gets off a couple of good points here and there which makes it like a rap song with a lame beat, cheezy lyrics, but a couple good one liners. Predictably Irrational, Outliers, Buyology are all you need to have heard anything Taleb mentions and these books have flow,central themes, and original material that is universally appealing rather than skewed to Wall Street.
"History with Spice!"
Some authoors are meant to write one great book, this could be the one for T. J. English. I believe it will be a seminal book for Cuba and the Mob. What this author does that I loved so much is the multi dimensional perspective of how everyone is portrayed. No one is all good and no one is all evil. People don't think they are doing evil when they do it, the mobsters are cool as hell if you like partying, sex, dancing, gambling and such, but they murdered and extorted. He tells you what they did and why they did it, you can make up your own mind. He contrasts the Mob's stories in with the story of Castro's revolution and their opposite philosophies. Most reviews of this book have been excellent except for a few who I suspect hate Castro for thier own reasons. The fact is as it is , the regime of Batista was corrupt even though the island was a lot of fun, there were many local cubans who resented the fact mobsters and foreigners were making millions from exploiting their homeland, wrong or right the majority rose up and kicked them out. What this author does is paint the picture of the events leading to their revolution and gives all these anecdotal stories to further deepen the understanding of the debauchery going on so one can see how even today it is hard for America's leaders to have credibility with the Cubans who know this history. Think, known U.S. criminals partying it up in Havana whoring out the local women, influencing the politics by kickbacks to the dictator, and with their friends and family living lavishly while the majority of locals lived in squalor. Mobster's still got their due, as a matter of fact one comes away from this book (at least I did) with a respect for the intelligence and vision of Meyer Lansky. This book reads like an exciting movie with multiple plots and flashbacks and an assortment of interesting characters and events. Though the narration feels stiff to start as the story heats up so does the narration.
