"Paranormal Activity 4" brings more of the same ... again
In 2009, "Paranormal Activity" combined a miniscule budget and a clever release tactic to bring the found-footage sub-genre to the scariest place possible: home. "Paranormal Activity 2" surprisingly proved that sequels – much less horror movie sequels – could almost equal their predecessors. Last year's third entry was the weakest of the bunch but did produce the pivoting 'fan-cam.'
So, what new element does "Paranormal Activity 4" introduce to the series?
Boredom. Oh, and the Microsoft Kinect, because what better symbol for a useless franchise addition than a useless video game console addition.
After making a quick pit stop in the '80s in the last movie, "Paranormal Activity 4" jumps back to the present to follow chirpy suburban teen Alex (Kathryn Newton). Despite some bickering parents (Alexondra Lee and the late Stephen Dunham), life is pretty normal for Alex. Things take a hard turn toward the paranormal when Katie from the first film and the kidnapped baby from part two – now a toddler named Robbie – move in across the street.
If you've seen the other three movies, you know pretty much how this new installment is going to play out. It all starts out of innocent – a swinging chandelier here, a mysterious shadow there – until the threats become more severe, leading to an epic climax involving invisible beings throwing people around like ragdolls and people making snarling demon faces toward a shaky camera.
Admittedly, there are a few decent scares in "Paranormal Activity 4," many of which involving the Kinect. The motion capture technology is the most gimmicky thing to hit the series yet, but returning directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman do some cleverly creepy things with the device's thousands of small lights. Plus, it's just a striking image in a found-footage genre that normally doesn't have much to provide visually.
However, these clever scares are few and far between. For the most part, "Paranormal Activity 4" keeps repeating the same tactics and setups. A character blocks the camera and then something appears in the background. A door creaks open. The droning bass starts pounding on the speakers. It may have been effective at one time, but after four movies, it's hard to convince the audience they still have something new to fear – especially since we know nothing serious will happen until the last five or 10 minutes.
Some of the scares reek of desperation as well. A sequence involving a Big Wheel is a clear nod to "The Shining," save without any of the horror that made Kubrick's film a classic. Plus, writer Christopher Landon unfortunately turns the ghoulish menace into a typical PG-13 shadowy figure, swooping past the camera and creating the cheapest of cheap jump scares.
Landon's creative strain isn't limited to the spooky moments. The first film excelled thanks to its simple story told well. Now, the mythology – including the third movie's silly cult addition – is excessively complicated, forcing the audience to wonder what is the point of all of this. We're told the ghost needs to kill a virgin, but he focuses most of his attention on Alex's little brother, Wyatt. What is this ghoul's seemingly elaborate plan, besides giving all of suburbia a case of demon face? Once you've introduced a greater logic or goal to the picture, the audience expects some consistency.
The only thing that's consistent in "Paranormal Activity 4" is the characters' stupidity. The series hasn't exactly featured a cast of Mensa members in the past, but the fourth installment stretches one's tolerance for doltishness. Despite knives falling from the ceiling and obvious warning signs, Alex, nor her parents, do anything. I take that back: Alex keeps recording everything on her laptop, pushing the franchise's premise to the point of implausibility, and her parents bust out the sleeping pills. Jeez, guys, are you working for the ghost?
The depressing part about "Paranormal Activity 4" is that it's probably still the best horror movie I've seen this year (I haven't seen "Sinister" yet). It can build some mild tension, and if you liked the last three films, this one offers a lot of the same. But its rank as the best of the year should be taken as a statement about the sad status of the horror genre rather than a comment about the quality of this tired – hopefully final – installment.

Gyllenhaal's boxing drama "Southpaw" packs minimal punch
Published Aug. 2, 2015
Jake Gyllenhaal's impressive physical transformation from scrawny media parasite in "Nightcrawler" to pro boxer in "Southpaw" has snagged most of the movie's pre-release hubbub - partly because, well, there's not all that much to say about the cliche-ridden, predictable film housing that handsome new physique.
"The Wolfpack" captures a fascinating burning fuse of family, fear and film
Published Aug. 1, 2015
Like a real-life version of the 2010 Greek film "Dogtooth," six boys and their little sister weren't allowed to leave their drab New York City apartment for almost all of their young lives thanks to their parents' rules. First-time director Crystal Moselle certainly stumbles onto a fascinating story for her doc "The Wolfpack," and she doesn't waste it either, absorbing the viewer into a bizarre and often unsettling psychological experiment playing out right in reality.
R5's Ellington Ratliff readies for Riverside show and Wisconsin return
Published July 24, 2015
At first glance, Ellington Ratliff may seem like the odd man in the pop rock band R5. He's the only one who's not a member of the Lynch family. He's the only one with a first name that doesn't begin with R (Riker, Rocky, Ross and Rydel make up the rest), and he's the only bandmate not born and raised in Colorado. Instead, Ratliff was born out in Los Angeles and split time in Wisconsin, making the band's Riverside gig Friday night a return of sorts.
Local movie fans attempt to bring more lion-sanity to town with "Roar"
Published July 23, 2015
If the last two days have proven anything, it's that Milwaukee will freaking lose their mind over the mere idea of a lion. At least, local movie fans Stephen Milek and Christopher Kai House certainly hope that is the case, as the two film buffs attempt to bring the notoriously insane 1981 thriller/borderline snuff film "Roar" to town.
A. Werner Silversmith maintains silver lining on Water Street

Bookended by AJ Bombers and Water Street Brewery, Water Street is famous for three Bs: bars, burgers and bros. The tightly packed combination of those things has made the area a popular nighttime hot spot. Yet amongst all of the bars and clubs is something unexpected: A. Werner Silversmith, a buried treasure - quite literally considering its glass cases and shelves containing shimmering, beautifully repaired silver pieces - hiding in plain sight.
Brooklyn-based band Lazyeyes makes its way to Milwaukee
Published July 20, 2015
Brooklyn-based indie band Lazyeyes guitarist and singer Jason Abrishami has never been to Milwaukee - let alone any part of the Midwest really. He admits he hasn't even heard that much about the Cream City, but he'll learn about the city firsthand Wednesday night when the band and its shoegaze-laced dream rock makes its maiden trip to the city via a gig at The Mad Planet.
Ryan Reynolds' immortality thriller "Self/Less" is disappointingly soul/less
Published July 19, 2015
Tarsem Singh is a man who spent about four years and much of his own money traveling the globe's most outrageously beautiful locales in order to make his magnum opus "The Fall." So how'd he end up standing behind the camera of "Self/Less," an utterly anonymous and impact-free immortality action-thriller that - much like the fresh if not quite new bodies being peddled in the film - seems "alive only in the most basic sense"?
Milwaukee-raised author delivers her Denver-set debut "The Bookseller"

What if? It's two simple words, not even adding up 10 letters, but that seemingly innocent question has likely haunted every single person that's walked this planet at some point or another. And it's a question that fascinates Milwaukee native Cynthia Swanson, so much so that she made that idea the cornerstone for her debut novel, "The Bookseller."

Every band has at least a small group of devoted fans cheering it on and supporting it on its way to the spotlight. The retro "nu-wop" family band The Bronx Wanderers, coming to Festa Italiana this weekend, is no different - except some of those devoted fans just happen to be entertainment icons from their hometown neighborhood, including Dion DiMucci, Tony Orlando and Oscar-nominated actors Chazz Palminteri and Danny Aiello.

The aim of this study was to test our observation that back pain in thalassemic patients could be caused by premature and extensive lumbar degenerative disc disease, when compared to non-thalassemic patients with back pain.
Methods and materials
Sixteen thalassemic patients with their sex- and age-matched controls were recruited into the study, 12 with thalassemia major, and 4 with thalassemia intermedia. Both the thalassemia patients and control subjects suffered from back pain, which was subjective rather than measured/pain scored. All subjects underwent magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the lumbar spine, and 11 of the cases and 8 controls had lumbar spine radiographs. Each lumbar disc was scored for radiographic appearances and MR features of disc degeneration and disc protrusion. Proportion values for these parameters and median scores were derived at each disc level, and were analyzed and compared.
There was a statistically-significant difference between proportion values of cases and controls for the MR features (P value=0.01, n=16) and the radiographic features (P value=0.01, n=11 cases, n=8 controls) of disc degeneration. The median disc level scores for the thalassemic group were uniformly high across all lumbar discs, and at all levels except at L 4/5. The control group conversely demonstrated a predilection for disc degeneration at L4/5 level.
The distribution of lumbar disc degeneration in thalassemic patients with back pain is more extensive, severe and multi-level in nature compared to matched controls, and disc degeneration should be considered as a significant cause of back pain in this population group.

Diaoyu will remain China's
Publication Date : 11-09-2012
Japan has turned the dispute with China over the sovereignty of Diaoyu Islands into a farce. The machinations of Japanese politicians and right-wing activists' attempt to "purchase" China's Diaoyu Islands undermine the tacit understanding between China and Japan to shelve disputes and deal with more pressing issues.
In the latest development, the Japanese government said on September 10 it would "nationalise" the islands by "buying" it from their "owner" for 2.05 billion yen (US$26 million) on September 11. Japan has not only intensified the dispute, but also continues to fan the flames of passion. Irrespective all the crafty plots, however, Japan cannot change the fact that the Diaoyu Islands belong to China.
China has made diplomatic representations and responded resolutely to reiterate the facts and drive sense into Japanese politicians. Chinese activists, too, have demonstrated their indignation and reiterated China's sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands, reflecting Chinese people's will to defend the country's sovereignty.
Many of the contradictions between China and Japan are the creation of the United States.
After World War II, according to the Cairo Declaration (1943) and the Potsdam Proclamation (1945), the Chinese government resumed its sovereignty over the Diaoyu Islands, which were illegally occupied by Japan after the Sino-Japanese War (1894-95).In 1951, Japan and the US signed an illegal treaty in San Francisco without inviting China, which should have been a party because the Diaoyu Islands are Chinese territory. The islands were then "entrusted" to the US according to the treaty.
The Chinese government has never recognized the San Francisco treaty. Using its Cold War policy against China, the US handed over the administration of Okinawa, which was under its trusteeship, and the Diaoyu Islands to Japan in 1971 despite the vehement protests of the Chinese government and compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Straits. This is how the Diaoyu Islands problem became a territorial dispute between China and Japan, and the Americans are well aware of that.
Japan asked the US to extend the US-Japan security treaty to cover China's Diaoyu Islands so that Washington could help Tokyo if the territories under its administration came under armed attack. Japan wants to drag the US into the dispute over the Diaoyu Islands to enjoy the protective umbrella of the Americans.
After sowing the seeds of friction between China and Japan over the Diaoyu Islands, the US wanted to observe the situation from a distant and reap the benefits emerging from an intensified dispute. But after China's rise, Japan began asking the US for more support and greater commitment. Washington used the occasion to get behind Japan and hinted that the US-Japan security treaty covered the Diaoyu Islands. As a result, Japanese politicians are now playing with fire.
The US wants to fulfil its global strategic objectives, including containing China's rise and undermining its maritime interests. The Diaoyu Islands are the first islands marked out by the West to contain China. Washington will not allow Beijing to regain control of the Diaoyu Islands without a struggle. It is determined not to allow Beijing to challenge its dominance in the Asia-Pacific region, even though Beijing has no plans to do so.
But the US will not sit by and watch while Japan tries the patience of China, which could draw Washington into a conflict between Beijing and Tokyo. This is also not in line with the US' interests. It seems that after sowing the seeds of discord between China and Japan, the US wants to act as a mediator, a contradictory but unique role.
Washington and Tokyo are not engaged in a monolithic calculation. Besides, China's increasingly rapid development has made it an indispensable partner for dialogue and cooperation for the US. And given China's influence on the international community, the US has to consider overall Sino-US relations before taking any hasty decision. So in the final analysis, the Diaoyu Islands dispute is the result of a power game.
China is rising, albeit peacefully, and will not only protest against any unfair act, but also is determined to safeguard the sovereignty of the Diaoyu Islands. The timing and conditions for resolving the Diaoyu Islands dispute once and for all may not be mature enough, but China is determined to safeguard its sovereignty and Chinese activists' successful landing on the Diaoyu Islands mirrors that determination.
There is no conflict between diplomatic struggle and the bottom-up efforts of the Chinese activists. But diplomacy has its own rules and arrangements, and it is difficult for activists to coordinate their moves with diplomatic measures, especially because Chinese activists desperate to safeguard China's Diaoyu Islands include compatriots from the Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and those living in foreign countries. Since civil efforts have their limitations, diplomacy should play the main role in resolving the dispute.
The Chinese leadership has reiterated that Diaoyu Islands are an inalienable part of China's territory and China will "absolutely make no concession" on issues concerning its sovereignty and territorial integrity. On Sept 10, the Chinese government announced the baseline of territorial sea off the Diaoyu Islands.
China should send its ships on sovereign cruise and make the practice routine. That may push Japan back from its current stance that there is no sovereignty dispute over the Diaoyu Islands. The fact that the islands belong to China, combined with China's growing influence on the world, will compel the international community to force Tokyo to the negotiating table to resolve the issue with Beijing. This process is moving toward progressive realisation.

EXCLUSIVE: Someone wants to take him down...and Liz Cho is 'collateral damage': Friends of under-fire GMA star Josh Elliott tell his side of the story
Good Morning America anchor Josh Elliott is 'baffled and disappointed' by a glut of recent stories that have served to disrupt the ABC breakfast show.
The 41-year-old TV star has been targeted by a steady stream of stories detailing his alleged 'agressive' and 'diva' behaviour backstage on the number one morning show - as well as his romance with fellow TV anchor Liz Cho.
And today, a close friend of Elliott's told MailOnline: 'I'm not saying Josh is perfect. He gets it, the news business is a tough one.
'But there are people who have different agendas and
will go to great lengths to protect themselves or to take someone down to make them feel a little better.
Baffled and disappointed: Josh Elliott has been the target of stories detailing his alleged 'diva' behavior
'Josh is baffled and disappointed. He just wants to do good work and spend time with his daughter and his friends.'
Elliott, who has a three-year-old daughter called Sarina with his ex-wife Priya Narang Elliott, divides his time between New York for work and Sarina's home in Connecticut.
And his friend said the star was 'frustrated' that Liz Cho, the stunning WABC-TV anchor, with whom he has been romantically linked, has been drawn into the saga.
Elliott has been seen being picked up close to Miss Cho's Upper West Side apartment early in the morning, and the friend said: 'Liz Cho is a beautiful woman and the status is the same as it has been for the past four months.
'They have been on dates in New York and Connecticut. They get on very well and they are good friends.
Another source added: 'What is frustrating is that when you have a situation like this, there is collateral damage like bringing in Liz Cho - who has nothing to do with it. She is the sweetest thing.
Collateral: WABC-TV anchor Liz Cho - dating Josh Elliott - seen here in 2010 with her ex-husband Evan Gottlieb
'They are two adults who have their own friendship and relationship. It is unfortunate.
'They are two successful, intelligent and good-looking people whose names have been associated with each other.'
Miss Cho, 41, is currently going through an ugly divorce battle from Evan Gottlieb, the father of her five-year-old daughter Louisa Simone, and the source added: 'Josh and Liz are both pretty private with their personal lives and this is increasingly annoying internal politics.'

Meeting Elmo: Josh and daughter Sarina on the GMA set
Pretty Priya: Josh Elliott's ex wife Priya Narang Elliott, the mother of his daughter Sarina
Reports surfaced about Elliott having rough relationships on the set. In August, a show insider told Page Six: 'Josh yells at staffers, including his own writers, saying things like, 'Who the [bleep] wrote this?' — while he is miked-up, so everyone in the studio can hear.'
Sources also said there had been complaints about Elliott's behavior to ABC executives. At the time, GMA producer Tom Cibrowski denied the claims, calling Elliott 'the ultimate team player.'
It was also claimed that Elliott had 'serious trust issues' with women that led to trouble on set as Radar reported earlier this month: 'It's no secret that Josh has major, major issues with women. Josh had a difficult childhood and as a result, has trust issues with females.
'He is extremely insecure and needs constant validation from everyone around him about how wonderful he is and what a great job he is doing.'
Elliott was called into a meeting with ABC executives last week - but friends insist it was purely to make an 18 month plan of action.
GMA crew: Josh Elliott, Robin Roberts, George Stephanopoulos and Lara Spencer, seen on set in August
The source told MailOnline: 'Josh met with James Goldston (the former Good Morning America senior executive producer recently promoted to senior VP for content and development) and it was a meeting to discuss the next 18 months at GMA and ABC.
'They meet on a regular basis, as one would expect they would, with James overseeing the show.
'It was to discuss what producers he'll be working with.'
With GMA now the number one breakfast show in the US, trumping NBC's Today Show, the source added: 'Josh understands that this is an unfortunate part of the process.
He is very grateful for the ensemble team and the success they've enjoyed together.
'Josh is not not the type of guy who takes anything for granted. He works hard and takes it seriously.
'When you are the focus of attention, any little thing you do is going to be exaggerated in a good way or a bad way.'

Affordable housing rated in university football towns
Stillwater, Okla., the home of Oklahoma State University, is No. 1 in the Big 12 — when it comes to affordable housing, that is.Coldwell Banker examined the housing markets in towns with the 119 college football bowl subdivision schools and created its college home price comparison index. The company looked at the average price of a house covering 2,220 square feet, with four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a family room and a two-car garage. It found that the average price of a home in Stillwater was $170,500. At the other end of the ranking was Boulder, Colo., where the University of Colorado is located. The average price there is a whopping $578,047. Lawrence leans toward the high end of the Big 12 pack, with an average home price of $239,412. It is sandwiched between College Station, Texas (Texas A&M) at $213,755 and Austin, Texas (University of Texas) at $241,325.Interestingly, the average price of the same house in Manhattan was higher than Lawrence: $266,921.Here is the entire Big 12 list, from most affordable to least affordable:1. Stillwater, Okla.: $170,500.2. Lubbock, Texas: $170,700.3. Waco, Texas: $184,325.4. Columbia, Mo.: $205,300.5. Norman, Okla.: $211,357.6. Ames, Iowa: $213,450.7. College Station, Texas: $213,755.8. Lawrence, $239,412.9. Austin, Texas: $241,325.10. Manhattan: $266,921.11. Lincoln, Neb.: $281,217.12. Boulder, Colo.: $578,047.The most affordable college town in terms of the 2,220 square-foot house was Akron, Ohio, (home to the University of Akron) at $135,780. The most expensive goes was in Palo Alto, Calif. (Stanford University) at $1.74 million.

Is the king of NBC daytime TV about to lose his throne? Matt Lauer 'set to get the axe from Today' after poor ratings and clashes with co-stars
- Long-time host is being blamed for the NBC morning show's plummeting performance
- Executives are reportedly sick of him butting heads with colleagues
- Weatherman Al Roker is plotting for Today's 9am hour co-host Willie Geist to take the sought-after anchor seat
After repeatedly clashing with co-anchors and overseeing plummeting ratings, the Today show's Matt Lauer is reportedly being given the boot.
The long-time host, who earns a staggering $21.5 million a year, is being blamed for the NBC morning show's dismal performance over the past three months and sources claim ratings will only improve if he is replaced.
According to The National Enquirer, weatherman Al Roker is plotting to push the 54-year-old TV veteran out of his anchor chair and is lobbying a newly appointed Today producer for help.
Ousted: After repeatedly clashing with co-anchors and overseeing plummeting ratings, Today show's Matt Lauer is being given the boot, sources say
ABC rival 'Good Morning America' leap-frogged the Today show after Ann Curry was controversially dumped as co-host in the summer and replaced with Savannah Guthrie.
'It's just desserts. Matt is finally getting what he deserves!' a Studio 1-A set insider told The Enquirer.
'His years-long feuds with former co-hosts Katie Couric, Meredith Vieira and Ann Curry have taken their toll. Everyone has turned against him, and Matt is going to be ousted because he's being blamed for the show's collapse.'
Blamed: The host, pictured with Savannah Guthrie, is being blamed for the show's dismal performance of late
Feuds: Off-screen wars with former co-anchors Ann Curry, left, Katie Couric, right, and Meredith Vieira also took their toll
A high profile former NBC News executive recently said the show needed a new frontman to turn it's ratings around.
'This problem is not going to go away until Matt Lauer does,' the source said. 'He's great, but fairly or unfairly, his brand is damaged.'
Mr Roker, a loyal friend of Ann Curry, has been secretly working towards Mr Lauer's demise for sometime, according to The Enquirer.
Plotting: Weatherman Al Roker, left, is reportedly campaigning for Today's 9am hour co-host Willie Geist, right, to take Mr Lauer's sought-after seat
'Matt and Al used to be good buddies – until Al found out Matt had been instrumental in Ann's ouster,' a Today source told the paper. 'They come across as friends on the air, but that's all an act.'
The weatherman is reportedly campaigning for Today's 9am house co-host Willie Geist, 37, to take Mr Lauer's sought-after seat.
'Adding a fresh new guy like Willie to the mix is just what Al feels 'Today' needs to help pull the show out of the ratings doldrums and compete with 'GMA,'' the source said.
RadarOnline.com recently reported that Alexandra Wallace was set to replace Jim Bell as the executive overseeing the NBC morning show and an insider told the website that she wasn't afraid to ruffle 'Lauer's feathers,' to boost ratings.

Talking tech: Technology driving development of convenience format
By Andrew Don | 17 May 2012
Umbrella brands like Nisa are as keen to take on new technologies as the multiples
Convenience retailing is well placed to capitalise on the public's appetite for easy shopping with technology, including mobile, cloud-based operations systems and location-linked promos, driving the sector's development. Andrew Don reports.
Barclaycard's launch of PayTag, a new way to pay with a mobile phone, is one of a raft of developments competing to make shopping more convenient over the next few years.
The device, which will hit the market next month, is about a third of the size of a plastic card, attaches to any mobile phone and can be used to make payments of up to GBP15-20 (US$24-32) by holding it over a contactless payment terminal.
Mainstream grocery retailers are offering, or introducing, contactless payments and convenience symbol and umbrella groups such as Spar, Costcutter and Nisa are also putting the necessary infrastructure in place.
Further developments that will increasingly feed into the convenience sector include mobile phone-linked loyalty schemes, self-scan checkouts and hand-held mobile tills. More often, c-store retailers are also set to use location-generated promotions, cloud-based management systems that integrate front-of-house and back-of-house operations, and ever sophisticated data analysis tools.
Convenience and technology are the perfect pairing in this time-poor, consumer-savvy age where competitive choice is vast and even the smallest independent players can afford to be part of the technological revolution.
As Dave Birch, director at Consult Hyperion, says, the steep fees required to hire chip-and-PIN terminals and the associated broadband connections are also changing with the arrival of contactless technology. "Attractive deals are on offer from the major banks that help make the interchange for contactless less than chip-and-PIN."
Birch pointed to iZettle, which has launched a dongle in Scandinavia that turns an iPhone into a chip card reader with no monthly fees and a fixed €0.15 (12p) +2.75% transaction charge.
"Never mind the corner shop. This means the school fete, the window cleaner and the kids football team coach will soon be taking cards quickly and easily," Birch says.
Fujitsu, which works with Marks and Spencer's Simply Food convenience chain, broadly divides today's c-stores into three format types: mini market retail-led, food-on-the-go destination-led, and community service-led.
Andy Taylor, Fujitsu's director of client engagement for the private sector, says each format, as a result of different shopping occasions, has developed different technology needs to support efficient operations and a differentiated customer experience.
However, he says: "One factor remains the same across all convenience stores - the need for technology to deliver reliability with high performance and from a small footprint. Convenience stores don't have spare tills. When technology fails, stores stop trading."
Taylor predicts a greater overlap in the different formats in the next five years with added provisions such as postal or local authority services, financial services transactions at the till, and increasing self-service.
"Delivering all this without adding more labour to provide these extra services and from the same small technology footprint will be the challenge going forward," he says. "We believe there will need to be greater use made of in-store service points, increased integration with consumer devices and a more flexible point of sale/ back office set of applications."
In particular, convenience stores would need to exploit the advances in resilient, secure networks and cloud-based services to deliver more from the small technology footprint in store.
Mark Carpenter, solutions marketing manager at The Logic Group, the managed payments service and loyalty solutions company, emphasises the need for speed and convenience at c-stores. At supermarkets where customers often do their weekly shop, they took their time and they stood to be influenced by marketing initiatives at every turn.
"With convenience you are trying to get in and out and you have an idea why you are going into that particular store," Carpenter says.
Mobile phones would play a key part in the speed - via contactless payment - and a bad experience at the checkout could damage the overall perception of that store even if everything else was good.
"It is that payment process that really sticks in people's minds so it is important to get that right," says Carpenter, whose group works with Irish retailer Musgrave Group.
Chris Osborne, industry principal at enterprise application software company SAP's UK and Irish unit, argues how retailers exploit their customers' mobile devices, whether tablets or phones, is going to be key.
Location awareness, for example, would enable retailers to know where their customers are by tracking their mobile phone signal. This would enable them to send marketing messages to entice them into the store or direct specific purchases in-store. The difficulty would be managing that as part of the overall customer experience because blitzing them with 25 texts messages would antagonise.
Electronic point of sale with all its bells and whistles is likely to become increasingly accessible to convenience retailers at the smaller end of the scale, partly driven by manufacturers.
Jon Dunman, vice-president of convenience and fuel solutions at Torex, an integrated technology solutions provider, says the desire for manufacturers to have access to sales data from the independent sector was enormous. He says cloud applications would increasingly provide a "fantastic opportunity further down the scale" because of their accessibility to smaller players.
"When they see other people using them and how quick the start-up is and how little disruption they get from the cloud I think that will persuade some of the smaller turnover retailers quicker," Dunman says. Without the technology, Dunman insists, it is difficult to drive retail disciplines and customer service.
Darragh Fanning, chief executive of Celtech Software, which is supporting Scottish convenience retailer Icon's move to a cloud-based centralised operations management system, said options for smaller convenience operators had, until now, been limited. Fanning said they had been forced to work with the inefficiencies of stand-alone, non-integrated systems.
But sophisticated management software that provided up-to-the-second visibility of a business was now available, allowing smaller convenience operators to compete with the bigger players without worries about a lack of bandwidth of capacity.
"With access to information and functionality previously only the preserve of larger competitors, smaller shops can work with wholesalers to address stock needs more quickly," Fanning said.
The new-found responsiveness would allow convenience stores to react faster to customer needs and provide the vital element of local competitive advantage.

Voyage of the Courtesans
November 23 at 8 on Channel 13
This episode of PBS's juicy Secrets of the Dead series casts Australia's founding mothers in a new light, and a pretty intriguing one by contemporary standards. In 1789, hundreds of female thieves and prostitutes were rounded up from English jails and banished to the burgeoning Australian penal colony. Along the way, they transformed their ship into a floating brothel, gaining enough money and confidence by the time they arrived to become a force to be reckoned with in the (other) new world.

A graceful poem of a film, this is the first movie shot in the Zulu language by a South African cast and crew. But dialogue is sparing, making way for simple visual moments that emphasize solitude in the life of a young woman named Yesterday. Raising her daughter in an isolated village while her husband works the Johannesburg mines, Yesterday discovers she's infected with HIV. Her response fits the understated, tender tone of the film, laced as it is with daily tragedies and mundane epiphanies.
Arrested Development
Mondays at 8 on Fox
The threat of cancellation has long hovered over the Bluth family, but now it looks certain that the funniest, most original network comedy around will soon halt developing altogether. Although the characters are a little too cartoony to truly mourn, I'll still be wondering if Michael will find love, if George Michael and Maeby can consummate their incestuous flirtation, if Buster will escape the malign clutches of his mother, and if Tobias can figure out how to get out of the closet. Fox has suspended all November episodes, so catch the last run of episodes, beginning in December.
Thursdays at 10 on Sundance
Iconoclasts takes the core Interview magazine concept to TV: just two celebs sitting around talking. Luckily, this show's idea of celebrity is fairly eclectic, so in the next month we'll see oddball pairings like designer Tom Ford talking to Jeff Koons and Renée Zellweger turning the tables on reporter Christiane Amanpour.

Park Farm Country Hotel & Leisure Hethersett, Norwich
Whether your purpose is a leisure break, a special celebration or business, you can be assured of a warm welcome at Park Farm Hotel. Despite our rural location standing in 200 acres of unspoiled Norfolk countryside, the Fine City of Norwich is only a few miles away.
Park Farm is an exclusive country house hotel situated on the outskirts of the beautiful city of Norwich with its Norman Castle, 900-year old Cathedral, shopping malls, theatres and art centres. The original Georgian country house has undergone an extensive programme of renovation and redevelopment, transforming it into one of the leading hotels in Norwich.
The 53 individually designed hotel rooms at Park Farm Hotel provide relaxing accommodation in which to unwind and enjoy your stay. Hotel rooms are split between the original Georgian country house, some in the renovated Norfolk Barn and the remainder within the beautifully landscaped gardens. Many of the hotels original features are still apparent and the large hotel rooms have been individually designed and decorated with most featuring separate baths and showers.
The well-equipped Park Farm Leisure Club offers excellent hotel leisure and spa facilities including a 16m indoor heated swimming pool and state-of-the-art gymnasium. If you prefer to relax and unwind rather than work out, the Health, Beauty and Hair Salon at Imagine Spa will leave you feeling pampered from head to toe.
Our Restaurant has received an AA Rosette for the fine quality of its food, all prepared using the freshest local ingredients. The relaxed Lounge area is the perfect place for a delicious snack, a pre-dinner drink or a nightcap. The hotel's air - conditioned meeting rooms can accommodate up to 120 delegates. The hotel also offers ample free parking available on-site.

no rating cap for this one? i am sure you know the answer :P
this is a quite widely known line :P
Good, and best if black has no idea what he's doing. Adequate still if black does know what he's doing, and is only playing this for kicks.
Yeres, you have an impressive rating for making a question of this kind.
Are you really serious?!...
It´s a theorical win for white, of course
No, it's only a theoretical win if taken.
C40: Latvian and Elephant Gambits.
One case where White can go wrong after 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f6 3.Nxe5 Qe7 is 4.Qh5+
Kasparov and Keene in Batsford Chess Opening 2 (1989) give the line 3.Nxe5 Qe7 4.Nf3 d5 5.d3 dxe4 6.dxe4 Qxe4+ 7.Be2 with a slight to clear advantage for White.
Nice -- I guess his original question was a bit more subtle than we all thought! We had just assumed that Black would automatically play fxe5.
I'm not sure whether you wanted the sequence continued or not, but 4...g6! 5.Nxg6 Qxe4+ forks off the Knight.
To me it looks bad since you lose the knight...then again I'm no where near your playing level and wouldn't understand
3...fe?? 4.Qh5+ Ke7 (4...g6 5.Qxe5+ wins the Rook) 5.Qxe5 Kf7 6.Bc4+ d5 (preventing Qf5+ once the King lands on g6) 7. Bxd5+ Kg6 and now, without looking at a board, I think it's 8.Bxb7, deflecting the Bishop from f5, and if 8...Bxb7 9.Qf5+ Kh6 10.d4+ g5, and I think 11.h4!, although I'm confident I mixed up the move order.
Thanks you made me understand
After 1.e4 e5 2.Nf3 f6 3.Nxe5, White loses the N for an attack.
And this is where the ability to conduct a relentless King hunt comes in.
For example, after 3...fxe5 4.Qh5+ Ke7 5.Qxe5+ Kf2 6.Bc4+ d5 7.Bxd5 Kg6 (see position below) conducting an attack on the exposed K is not so easy. Black's K is exposed giving White a big positional advantage
For example, 8.h4 h5 9.Qg3+ Kh7 10.Nc3 Nf6 11.Bf7 (Threat: 12.Qg6#) as in the game K. Karal - S. Dogan, Turkey Championship, Kusadasi 2004.
Now I'm looking forward to using this...big thanks
Yes, Bxb7 would be even an easier victory, because Black can not take due to Qf5

Pakistan lifted a ban on Facebook on Monday after officials from the social networking site apologized for a page deemed offensive to Muslims and removed its contents, a top information technology official said.
The move came almost two weeks after Pakistan imposed the ban amid anger over a page that encouraged users to post images of Islam's Prophet Muhammad. Many Muslims regard depictions of the prophet, even favorable ones, as blasphemous.
"In response to our protest, Facebook has tendered their apology and informed us that all the sacrilegious material has been removed from the URL," said Najibullah Malik, secretary of Pakistan's information technology ministry, referring to the technical term for a Web page.
Facebook assured the Pakistani government that "nothing of this sort will happen in the future," Malik said.
Officials from the website could not immediately be reached for comment. They said earlier the contents of the "Everybody Draw Mohammed Day!" page did not violate Facebook's terms.
The page encouraged users to post images of the prophet to protest threats made by a radical Muslim group against the creators of the American TV series "South Park" for depicting Muhammad in a bear suit during an episode earlier this year.
Pakistan blocked Facebook on May 19 following a ruling by one of the country's highest courts. The Lahore High Court reversed its ruling Monday because of Facebook's response, Malik said.
As of midday, access to Facebook inside Pakistan was still restricted. But Malik said the government has issued instructions for Internet service providers to restore access to the website.
Users outside the country confirmed the page that sparked the recent uproar was no longer accessible.
The government will continue to block some Web pages that contain "sacrilegious material," but Malik declined to specify which ones.
The Facebook controversy sparked a handful of protests across Pakistan, many by student members of radical Islamic groups. Some of the protesters carried signs advocating holy war against the website for allowing the page.
Bangladesh also decided to block Facebook on Sunday but said it would restore access to the site if the offensive material was removed.
It is not the first time that images of the prophet have sparked anger. Pakistan and other Muslim countries saw large and sometimes violent protests in 2006 when a Danish newspaper published cartoons of Muhammad, and again in 2008 when they were reprinted. Later the same year, a suspected al-Qaida suicide bomber attacked the Danish Embassy in Islamabad, killing six people.
Anger over the Facebook controversy also prompted the Pakistani government to block access to YouTube briefly, saying there was growing sacrilegious content on the video sharing website. The government restored access to YouTube last week but said it would continue to block videos offensive to Muslims that are posted on the site.
