Holy Crap, He Listened! Steve Offers $100 Apple Store Coupons for Early iPhone Adopters
Someone pick up my jaw, I'm stunned. In a totally unexpected move Steve Jobs posted a personal letter to customers delivering a peace offering to angry iPhone users upset over yesterdays dramatic price cut. Jobs goes on to reiterate his stance that price cuts come with the territory of being an ealry adopter, but also concedes that we are the pioneers that propelled iPhone on the road to success.
In short he's rewarding our loyalty by offering a $100 coupon good towards the purchase of any new Apple product, redeemable at any Apple Store, for iPhone users not covered under a 14-day rebate, regardless of whether their iPhone was purchased at an AT&T or Apple Store. You can read Steve's open letter here. A method for claiming your coupon will be available on Apple's website next week.
That my friends is class. As the saying goes...always dance with the one that brung you, and he did. Way to go Steve.

Holy Crap, He Listened! Steve Offers $100 Apple Store Coupons for Early iPhone Adopters
Silly Aurans, Steve-O doesn't make mistakes. It's not like he's cutting folks a check; they have to spend it at the Apple store. Moreover, that coupon can come directly from some of the excess profit that they made on each purchaser. He's basically cemented early adopter love, ensuring that the same folks that lined up before will line up again. Anyone that was disgruntled before the coupon is essentially happier than they were before the price cut.
The money Apple will rake in from this coupon offer will more than offset that "mistake". Do the math...he gives you $100 which you then spend on merchandise priced upwards of $300. Even if I blow my coupon on a $250 iPod classic, Apple still meet costs and probably earns a reasonable profit. The dollar bill signs go even higher if customers apply those coupons on MacBooks and other luxury hardware.
I won't look this gift horse in the mouth. He threw me a $100 bone, and I am more than satisfied.
This whole thing will probably work out in Apple's favor in the Public Relations game. Apple is a class act, and this concession to their loyal customers proves it.
I've been toying with buying a Mac Mini to use in my classroom so I can show Keynote instead of PowerPoint Presentations. This extra $100 may be what pushes me in that direction. As a public school teacher, that $200 price drop was a lot of money. Granted, I've enjoyed the look on my students' faces when they've exclaimed, "Oh, you got an iPhone? Lemme see!" This $100 rebate makes the whole price-cut situation a lot more tolerable. Thank you Apple, and thank you Mr. Jobs.
I am not sure but is the $100 only for the 8GB version? From what I have read, it seems like it would be since the 4GB is no longer available and thus those of us who haveit can not say that they can get it for less now.
Kind of sucks since the 8 GB is now $100 less than what the 4GB was.
Steve Jobs is a complete asshat!! Are you joking me? I bought my F__king iPhone two weeks ago!! AT&T is basically telling me "too bad for you Dr. Jones!". And now I get a slap in the face by saying I'm going to have to use the credit, and potentially spend MORE money with Apple for this?? I'm not whining, I'm F__king PISSED!! Steve Jobs can **** my ***sack and pick the **** nuggets out of my **** *****!!!!!
Yea, he may have thrown people a bone, and for the truly early adopters, AKA the ones who bought the iPhone on I-Day or whatever they called it, then I would see this as a potentially fair offer. But as a person who just purchased the phone two weeks from the date they announced the price reduction, I feel my my anus has been accosted by a Macintosh!
I could give a rat's ass about a give certificate, free music, etc. I just want my $200 back and maybe then I will make the decision on whether or not to spend that money on more Apple products.
Let's here it for Kent, Steve and the early adopters who spoke-up with class!
Details at post 36 at - http://www.theiphoneblog.com/2007/09/05/breaking-apple-announces-huge-ip...
you are easily co-opted. early buyers are the core of Apple's consuming public - we are the ones who have ibooks & powerbooks at home; desktops at work; and multiple ipods; we buy the stock and Steve waves a half measure at the ones who took the risks and helped debug the device - really he owes us full $200 value and then some - read ARS Technica's reviews - there are significant firmware updates that should have been done (copy and paste anyone)
Apple has an obligation to its long-term customer base to give equal credit - it's not just a good idea, it's the right thing for Apple to do.

That is my concern as well, but according to his letter...
"Therefore, we have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T"
He did NOT say "every 8GB iPhone customer"
Early Adopters is wat made the iPhone be excepted... All us "early adopters" are what makes apple money.. And for them to shaft us like that is really low on apples part. I would expect something like that by Microsoft but not from apple.
Thats why Jobs gave us money back... He was testing waters. Now he knows not to mess....
My letter to Apple:
Read Steve Job's letter posted on http://www.apple.com/hotnews/openiphoneletter/
The last second paragraph shown below needs some clarification to avoid confusion.
"Therefore, we have decided to offer every iPhone customer who purchased an iPhone from either Apple or AT&T, and who is not receiving a rebate or any other consideration, a $100 store credit towards the purchase of any product at an Apple Retail Store or the Apple Online Store."
Here's my interpretation:
The $399(8GB) and $299(4GB)that happened few days ago wasn't a rebate correct? It was a PRICE DROP, NOT a rebate or any kind of consideration....In fact, iPhone buyer has received NO REBATE of any kind even though buyer needs to sign a 2yr new contract(EVEN FOR EXISITING ATT contracted user) with ATT anyway. I was into my 2nd year of ATT contract, so I DID confirmed with ATT and APPLE at the stores if there is any REBATE to extend contract with ATT to get the iPhone and the answer was NO, Sorry.... Albeit I bought the iPhone anyhow...it's just too nice of a phone.
Moving on...SO... WHAT REBATE or CONSIDERATION is Steve Job talking about?
Does that mean EVERYONE should be getting a $100 store credit since there wasn't any rebate nor consideration even for those who has bought their iPhone after the price drop? Such open letter is binding correct?????
I found this forum post several weeks ago but more and more I'm in agreement with it's author. I'm still laughing about it.
Ronster, I'm thinking no.
Steve and Co. aren't giving a hundred bucks to everyone who buys a phone. Just those that weren't able to get a credit (bought within 14 days of price drop), and those who were eligible for other rebates, etc. BEFORE THE PRICE DROP.
Nice try, dude. But no dice.
Be glad you got one for 400 bucks.
Couple thoughts regarding this:
It's a great move by Steve and co. I think what we're missing here in the replies I'm seeing is something even more remarkable than the $100 coupon (which as some have already stated is excellent business for Apple). You're seeing a precedent being set; that precedent has nothing to do with Apple as a computer company.
Steve essentially has said he realizes that the average consumer of the Iphone is not the average computer guy that understands the risks of being an early adopter. By setting the precedent that the home consumer will not be completely hung out to dry as a result of sudden changes in the manufacturing markets or demand in new markets for technology, he's positioning the company to receive the trust of the home consumer market.
Phones, TV, Music.. all of these things are basic steps towards comfort and entertainment with a visible line to home automation, management and security.
You can't become what GE or Maytag is in the current American home without setting examples like this and that's what I find most remarkable in what I see here.
Then again, I could be the one crazy nut that looks for things that aren't there.
Figured I'd add one more post to address those that are really hot over the $200 dollars and the perceived gaps in the announcement. I'll state three things first though:
1. I don't work for Apple, but I am someone who does consult in the Apple space and I've built more than one home office for clients using their technology.
2. I'm also a Microsoft certified engineer and have steered people away from their technology based on price point if they had equipment in their homes that could defray the costs of doing business.
3. This reply is geared towards the young and up and coming people who no doubt have been into the peer and social coolness of having an Iphone as well as the honored geeks that have to have the latest and coolest.
All that said here goes:
From Apple's viewpoint, the change in phone technologies that allowed a significant cut in price prior to the holiday season did not have to occur this far away from the holiday buying season. They could have continued to sell the devices at the existing price points and lowered prices in conjunction with the release of a new device. Ergo, they could have eaten lower sales for a month and avoided the backlash fiasco entirely.
Now the counter to this is I may be missing some key piece of information that makes this argument moot, but what I'm seeing right at the moment is corporate responsibility and maybe an effort to get rid of old stock before the holidays because a new phone may be coming out. Whatever.
Next up, to those that are hot about 200 bucks. Yes, it's a significant price drop. However, the people most likely to be hot are the people for whom that 200 bucks is a significant part of their weekly or monthly income. To that I ask one question:
Why on God's green earth, if you know you're making a salary that considers 200 dollars a heated sum, are you buying a 400-600 dollar phone with a 60 dollar a month service plan? Herein lies the real problem and it's called financial responsibility. Lack of that is not Apple's problem, it's that of the buyer. At the point where you've made that fiscally unwise decision you should be pleased you're getting anything in return.
Lastly, be aware that technology is historically volatile, and that volatility creates profits and loss. If you must have the latest shiny object, be sure that your usage of the shiny object and the amount of time it saves you on a daily basis is worth the amount you're spending. If it is at the time of purchase, you likely won't be annoyed when these things happen.
Anyway caviat emptor. If you like tech let others beta and buy the next gen. The Ipod really took off in 2004 and 2005. It came out in 2001. Only God takes 7 days to get things right the first time and even that figure receives benefit of 5000+ years of marketing spin.
Steve's human and he's being responsible. Step outside the feeling of personal entitlement and behave similarly.
I just purchased the iphone less than 30 days, although, more than the 14 days (Apple return policy) I purchased the 4GB, I would have rather had an option to exchange to 8GB vs. receiving a $100 gift certificate from Apple/ATT&T, especially now that the 4GB is going to be discontinued. It is interesting to note that all phones purchased at AT&T have the "right to exchange" within a 30 day period.... but NOT the Apple iPHONE (only phone that has 14 days).... doesn't appear that Apple will back their product as other companies do....
So, I'm STUCK with the 4GB iphone, as Apple discontinues this phone....
After much thinking on this topic, I am beginning to wonder if this issue may be eligible for an anti-trust lawsuit against Apple. It certainly smells of one to me! I'm certainly going to look into this issue with one of my attorney friends and see what he thinks. It might honestly be worth the time to check. If I start a class-action lawsuit, I'll be sure to let you all know!
Nothing like a frivolous lawsuit to waste your time and money. Almost as ridiculous as folks who complain about price drops. Typically, Apple drops the price on all its products within a few months after introduction - this one just happens to be in time for Christmas.
Some of you people are absolutely SOFT! A company as large as Apple doesn't get to be that large without employing intelligent business tactics, spending money on the best market research and playing the public. The price point of the 8GB phone was always intended to be 399. 599 was the value the market would tolerate for a breakthrough product along with the future sales impact of dropping the phone 200 back to the target price point. To think that this whole game was a "mistake" by apple and that they are being "considerate" of early adopters by giving you back HALF the difference makes you ignorant to business economics and what it takes to succeed in big business. Consider the profit margin of selling saps a measly 100 "Itunes" songs as "payback" for their "mistake" in overcharging you. How much does it cost apple to send the sap 100 songs? The cost of bandwidth, that small portion of equipment useage and the royalty of the song paid back to whomever. If a single song cost them a grand total of .50 I'd be amazed, but given that, that still leaves Apple with a pure profit of 50% on a "mistake" that is absolutely guaranteed since all Iphone users pwned by Jobs will most definitely spend the "store credit". So Apple's giving you back a chance to buy even more Apple crap, which has a built in profit margin of the retail value, and if you're dumb enough to BUY electrons from Apple rather than rip your own or your friend's or even download them off usenet for free then you're a happy consumer that fell face first into Apple's marketing scheme. This was a marketing scam from day one to win apple 100% of the marketing pie in the form of:
1. 1st to market this new technology
2. Pushed the pricing limit to extreme and showed investors that people were willing to pay huge $ for cutting edge tech
3 Cut pricing from that extreme to garner more customers before the Christmas rush, as stated by Steve himself
4. Made himself look "genuinely concerned" about those who propelled the device to god status for him by granting a 50% difference back further RETAIL SALES
5. Kept the early Apple promoters in his pocket while garnering millions more from his "genuine concern"
6. Proven to investors that his tactics/technology can manipulate the public into shedding thier cash
This was the plan from the start, it is still being played out, and will continue to be played out until 2008 when Apple can sit back and see just how much cash their game reaped them.
To all whiners, wake up and smell your underwear!! No one at Apple is "helping" you, "being concerned" or trying to take care of you. You spent big, Jobs is making sure you'll have to spend MORE, and you are a market test subject who seems to be falling into the predicted pattern of Apple's marketing analysts.
One last rant, this excuse of "we're working out the details of how to get the 100 credit" is nothing more than an excuse to observe blowback from the credit. In this day and age, store credits could have been easily accomplished at either store with simple accounting. This delay is yet another part of the scam to weigh the averages and get market feel for the "concern" and future Apple sales.
Yeah, pretty much what BabaJunk said.
I'm fine that I bought my phone when it was first released. I wanted it then, I bought it then, and I wouldn't have bought it if I couldn't have afforded it. I have, since I heard of the price cut thought: 1) ah well, that's just business and then 2) Hey... a credit. He had to be planning that all along. Makes him smell like a rose, makes people come in and buy more stuff.
If this was some sort of major 'goodwill' gesture, it'd be a cash rebate, not a store credit.
In any event, I'm not caring much either way. I'll take my credits like the next person and I'll buy something whenever I need it.
to all of you that are happy about the price cut. If u think that we got a good deal with the $100 rebate I got bad news. Apple didnt lose any money with this gift card because they are only giving u money to spend at their store. I think its a rip off because they should give u full credit back in cash. to spend it on whatever u want.
Hmm Well I was just searching on yahoo and just came across your site, in general I just only visit blogs and retrieve my needed info but this time the useful info that you posted in this post urged me to post here and appreciate your diligent work. I just bookmarked your site. Thank you again.
Will the new Visa cards have computer chip technology?

Tuesdays aren't just any day at Walker Mill Middle School to teacher Albert Lewis. They're "Twitter Tuesdays."
Every Tuesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. Lewis moderates student discussions on the Capitol Heights school's page on Twitter — an online social network that allows users to post a timeline of messages in 140 characters or less — covering issues ranging from Trayvon Martin to bullying.
The weekly discussions are more than what Lewis could have hoped for when he launched the page at the start of the 2011-12 school year as another way to engage Walker Mill students outside of the classroom.
"Students, they tend to think of teachers as not hip and removed from things that are cool," Lewis said. "For a teacher to be using social networking to discuss issues that affect them and they won't be judged, it appeals to them. They can open up to you more without feeling like what they have to say is going to be judged or them."
Lewis said he got the idea to start a school Twitter feed from friend William Blake, an assistant principal for ninth grade at Upper Marlboro's Dr. Henry A. Wise Jr. High School. To date the Walker Mill Middle feed, @WalkerMillMS, has more than 280 followers.
Blake said he started Wise's page, @PumasDen, in fall 2010 as a way to connect with new students after he transferred from Brandywine's Gwynn Park High School. Not only has it been a way to get out school event information but it has helped him monitor conflicts in the community and among students in real time. To date @PumasDen has more than 1,900 followers.
"If I'm on their Twitter feed and I see they have a cyber beef and I think it's going to escalate, I pull those students into my office," Blake said. "I make sure their conflict gets mediated."
Lewis has used the Twitter page as a way to boost participation in the classroom, offering extra credit to the first five students who could tweet his vocabulary word of the day.
Lewis realizes that not all students have access to a computer at home but said they can participate via school computers or their cell phones. For Twitter Tuesdays, either students or Lewis pitch possible topics for the student morning announcement team to mention at the start of school, and the team decides on the best topic before announcing it at the end of the school day on the public announcement system.
Lewis said his biggest challenge was getting parents to let their students use Twitter in the first place. Lewis said not all social networking is negative and there are positive ways to engage students and get responses.
"There are some parents who are just flat out against it, but if they would really give it a chance and see what Twitter is being used for, I really think that they would be pleased in allowing students to use it," Lewis said.
Eighth-grader Katherine Johnson, 13, of Oxon Hill said her mother, Angelica Johnson, hopped on the Twitter bandwagon before she did. Angelica Johnson joined to keep tabs on Katherine's twin brother, Horace Johnson, but soon started encouraging Katherine to get involved.
"It's allowed me to come in contact with my teachers in a different way," Katherine Johnson said. "I can actually interact with them more personally like the way I talk to my other friends. It kind of builds bonds with my teachers."
Angelica Johnson said she joined in late fall as Lewis pushed to get 100 followers. Angelica said she has participated in Twitter Tuesday conversations and said she appreciates the feed because it gets students to dialogue with each other as well as keep her informed about events going on every week at the school.
"I think it's a great tool to get the children involved because so many times they keep things very internally and they don't want to speak about it but his followers are starting to respond more and more," Angelica Johnson said. "It lets the kids realize they have a voice."
Briant Coleman, a county schools spokesman, said he likes the way Walker Mill and Wise are using their Twitter feeds but said every school community is different and will decide what is the best way to use a feed. Coleman said the school system is currently working on a social media use policy about the do's and don'ts in how to use Twitter and Facebook to set in place at the beginning of the 2012-13 school year.
Coleman said he has noticed that the feeds for Montgomery and Prince George's County public school systems are the most active of the state school systems and were valuable during emergencies such as the Aug. 23, 2011, 5.9-magnitude earthquake.
The PGCPS feed has nearly 5,000 followers, and MCPS' has more than 7,600, with the school systems trailed by Baltimore City Public Schools, with more than 1,400 followers.
"All of this is new for school systems," Coleman said. "There's no model to replicate, so what we're doing is working from scratching in developing our policy."

Washington Post may cut ombudsman
Washington Post ombudsman Patrick Pexton is leaving the paper on March 1, and the Post may not replace him.
"We haven't decided yet," Fred Hiatt, the Post's editorial page editor, told POLITICO when asked about the ombud's role after Pexton. "We are committed to maintaining accountability and a good avenue for reader questions and complaints. But I'm not convinced our current model, focusing on a weekly column, is still the best way to achieve the goals. So we're weighing options."
The Washingtonian reported last week that the paper may cut the internal watchdog position, thereby dealing "a heavy blow to the position of news ombudsmen in general, an institution under siege."
The Post ombudsman position was created in 1970; Pexton leaves after two years on the job.

Incumbent Aiken County Sheriff Michael Hunt will be the lone candidate on the November ballot for the office he has held since 2003, but resident Jim Vause has launched a public campaign as a write-in to oust the current office holder.
Vause was one of several local candidates impacted by a state Supreme Court ruling earlier this year that decertified nearly 200 candidates statewide from running in the primary. Once he was kicked off the ballot and learned that he would have to acquire an estimated 5,000 signatures from registered voters to secure a spot on the ballot as a petition candidate, he said he wanted to bow out of the race.
Several weeks later, Vause had a change of heart and said he wanted to continue his campaign against Hunt as a write-in.
Since then, the retired U.S. Army officer and long-serving law enforcement officer who boasts serving as a beat cop and nuclear officer instructor in a career that has spanned three decades, has said he has a clear-cut mission if he were to be elected sheriff.
Vause said he will decrease response times, see that all law enforcement officers are treated fairly, promote community relations and be a good steward of taxpayer money.
To decrease the time it takes a deputy to respond to a call, Vause proposes increasing the current reserve deputy program from less than 20 serving in the current administration to as many as 70.
The increase, he said, is doable.
By allowing the reservists, who have arrest powers, to respond to less emergent calls, it frees non-reservist deputies to respond to the most emergent of calls.
The plan will both decrease response times and save money, he said.
Reserve deputies are not paid. The sheriff's office pays only to outfit the reservist, Vause said.
Vause added that, under his direction, he will bring crime numbers down and promote better relationships between the community and law enforcement.
"It's time to make Aiken County a community," Vause said.
Hunt, the incumbent sheriff, said he's comfortable running on his record, adding that he has increased the number of deputies on a shift, increasing what had been as few as four deputies on a shift to as many as 17 law enforcement officers.
Since taking the helm as the lead law enforcement officer in the county more than nine years ago, Hunt said his office has made 2,300 drug-related arrests.
"We have taken an aggressive stance on drugs," he said.
Drugs are at the heart of the vast majority of property crimes, robberies and sexual assaults, Hunt added.
He said his responsibility has continued to grow since taking office and is proud of the work the sheriff's office is doing.
The sheriff's office has taken over operations at the Aiken County detention center, where he said they have instituted a GED and faith-based outreach program for inmates.
Law enforcement must also be proactive, he said, adding that there are about 30 crime watch groups organized throughout Aiken County.
Hunt said the agency supports Alive at 25, an initiative to teach young drivers ways to drive safer, and Operation Lifesaver, a program which uses a tracking bracelet to find elderly residents who have wandered from home.
Hunt said he is especially proud of a new initiative - Books and Badges.
The program is aimed at increasing interaction between students and deputies.
"I will continue to try new things," he said. " I tell our folks I like to think outside the box ..."
Vause said he would like to do even more community policing and partner with residents to bring crime down.

Do Glee's Will and Emma Break Up For Good? — We Examine the Evidence!
Guys, we're seriously worried about Will (Matthew Morrison) and Emma (Jayma Mays). Plenty of fans have been picturing a wedding between these two lovebirds — well, basically since Season 1.
But now that Emma left Will at the altar in Season 4, Episode 14: "I Do," is Wemma over for good? Not only did Emma lock lips with Finn (Cory Monteith) during Season 4, Episode 13: "Diva" — smooching the best man isn't the best first step towards a journey to wedded bliss — but then she dashed away from the church, leaving her clueless fiance behind.
But here's the good news: Wemma might not be married, but the couple doesn't appear to have called off their engagement. Photographers spotted actors Matthew Morrison and Jayma Mays filming scenes for Season 4, Episode 15 in late January, and the photos clearly show that Emma is still wearing her engagement ring.
The wedding's off, for now. But it appears that the engagement is still on.

Arizona State Sun Devils
Fork Report: ASU rallies to beat Colorado
Sure, you could read the box score and know who won, but we all know that won't tell you everything that happened in a basketball game. So, we will give you a fork report, providing you with the analysis, quotes and notes from ASU's win over Colorado. Final score: Arizona State 65, Colorado 56.
TEMPE -- Arizona State stormed back from an early 17-4 deficit to beat Colorado 65-56 in front of a season-high crowd of 6,298 at Wells Fargo Arena.
Carrick Felix led the way with 20 points and 8 rebounds, while Jordan Bachynski added 16 points, 7 rebounds and 9 blocked shots.
The Good
Reserve guard Chris Colvin played a big part in the win, supplying 31 energetic minutes off the bench. Colvin scored points, grabbed 4 rebounds and handed out a team-high 5 assists.
Arizona State's defense was superb for a large portion of the game, but notably in the second half, when they held Colorado to just 23 points on 26.8% shooting from the field.
Forward Jonathan Gilling asserted himself on the boards, grabbing a team-high 10 rebounds. "We've turned him into Dennis Rodman," ASU head coach Herb Sendek said following the game. It was Gilling's third double-digit rebounding game this season. The Danish sophomore is averaging 7.4 boards per game after averaging only 1.8 per contest as a freshman.
ASU had five turnovers in the first 7:06 of the game when the Buffaloes were able to build their 13-point lead. But the Sun Devils regrouped and took much better care of the basketball the rest of the way, committing only five over the last 32:54.
The Bad
ASU's free throw shooting continues to be horrendous, but amazingly hasn't cost them in a game yet this season. The Devils were 20-of-33 from the stripe, and that included six consecutive makes to end the game.
And it's hard to put his performance in the "bad" category because of all he did to contribute to the win, so we'll just point out that freshman guard Jahii Carson had a season-low five points on only 1-of-4 shooting. Carson did have four rebounds and three assists in 38 minutes, and did a solid job defensively.
He Said It:
"They're a great team. They won the Pac last year, and they're going to be a forced to be reckoned with this year so for us to be able to step up and play like we did and come up with a win -- I mean it wasn't in overtime, so I think that's a little bit better than our friends down south, but they're a great team and I definitely feel like this is a huge win for us." -- ASU center Jordan Bachynski, making reference to Arizona's controversial overtime win over Colorado Thursday night in Tucson.
� Bo Barnes, a sophomore transfer, scored his first points of the season when he hit a three-pointer midway through the first half. Barnes' three also seemed to ignite ASU, which went on a 27-16 run to close out the half down only three points, 33-30.
� ASU is 2-0 in Pac-10/Pac-12 play for only the fourth time. The Sun Devils started 5-0 in 1979-80, 4-0 in 1987-88 and 4-0 in 2007-08.
� Jordan Bachynski's nine blocked shots give him a total of 68 for the season, just one behind Tommy Smith's mark of 69 in 2002-03 for the fourth-most in a single season in ASU history.
� From the 17:36 mark of the first half to the 1:52 mark of the second, Colorado missed 12 straight three-point shots. The Buffaloes finished 2-of-19 from behind the arc. CU came into the game hitting .404 of their long-distance shots.
� Colorado forward Andre Roberson had a season-low five points, but did finish with 13 rebounds -- his 11th double-digit rebound effort of the season.
� Former ASU coach Bill Frieder and ASU Hall of Famer Alton Lister were both in attendance.
Up Next
The Sun Devils hit the road for their next two contests. They'll face Oregon State in Corvallis Thursday night. The game tips off at 9:30 p.m. and can be heard on Arizona Sports 620.

Maybe it's both, not either/or - spiritual AND literal.The Kingdom of God within, Him ruling and reigning in our hearts (as believers) etc., but ALSO,He will come and physically be among us, the time of Gentiles will be fulfilled and all Israel will be saved, and as Martin recently posted, there really also will be a 1000 year literal reign.What keeps it from being both? Might solve some of these arguments.
Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven. 48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 1cor15.46Good stuff you all. These words say it all for me. We understand things first via the natural and then we hopefully see the spiritual.cp
Jesus looking upon them saith, 'With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God'." (Mark 10:24-27, ASV)
ReFormer and Card. Let's say James, your post entails the spiritual aspect. I agree there's a lot to what you write, including what I included in my earlier post regarding the Kingdom of God within believers -and yes, of course, Yesu is Master now and King of kings.Do you believe there will also be a time when we are LITERALLY any more in Jesus' presence than we are now? I.e., will you ever see His glorified immortal body with your glorified immortal eyes? If so, that's part of where I'm saying 'both'. If not, then right now I see it s/w differently, as I'm sure I can't fully explain it, but I believe we are yet to experience an even "more real", more miraculous, more direct manifestation of Jesus' presence than we now do. A next age(s) when the lamb is lying with the lion, etc. A time when our faith will have become sight."...Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven." Acts 1:11God's blessings to your and yours, James.
Quote from: ChrisChrist comes THE SECOND TIME... UNTO THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM. How does that translate into a physical manifestation of not only The Messiah but of "a city" and "twelve thrones", etc??Hi Chris,I see what you are saying and it makes sense. I am leaning toward the fact that Jesus came and took back with him the saints. This would be after paul died but John was still alive. I am still trying to piece all of this together. There are so many scriptures that speak of this.
Christ comes THE SECOND TIME... UNTO THEM THAT LOOK FOR HIM. How does that translate into a physical manifestation of not only The Messiah but of "a city" and "twelve thrones", etc??
My problem with this is, what is next? Is Christ going to return with his saints and set up an earthly kingdom? Some scripture does point to this. Or has the kingdom that Jesus talked about already happened?
If so, what will happen next, is my question? Will Christ return and resurrect everyone and that will be the "White Throne Judgment". Everyone that is dead and alive at that time will become immortal.
Or, will we be changed after we die and go on to be with Christ and things continue as they are? This doesn't sound quite right to me. I do believe there will be an end to all things as they are now. Everything will be changed, not destroyed.Would appreciate your opinion on this. Thanks. CHB
So I see two 'companies' of saints, a bridegroom company and a bride company. He left to bring MANY SONS UNTO GLORY (bridegroom company).
This was the purpose of being called out of the churches, to 'die' in the wilderness. It appeared to many around us that we were 'killing' Him, in the laying down of the 'life' of Him we had received thus far, but only because they haven't yet heard the call to come up higher. But saviors are arising on Mt. Zion (the highest point), willing to lay down all and be made of no reputation, just as He was. Blessings....
Jesus Christ IS the resurrection and the life and it is not about being UNCLOTHED, but about being CLOTHED UPON, as it is THIS MORTAL (not our corpses) putting on IMMORTALITY. It is about being clothed WITH CHRIST. The hope of glory is CHRIST IN YOU!! Amen??

CRESTVIEW — After an Oct. 8 resolution by the city council proclaiming Crestview a Purple Heart City, the appellation became official during the council's Monday meeting when Mayor David Cadle presented a plaque from the Military Order of the Purple Heart to Council President Ben Iannucci III.
"It's a recognition the city has taken upon itself to honor all the fallen veterans of all the wars and all the military personnel who are on active duty and are Purple Heart recipients," Military Order of the Purple Heart Region 4 Commander Bill Everett of Baker said. "It's quite an honor; quite an honor indeed."
The Military Order of the Purple Heart now lists the city and Okaloosa County on its website map of nationwide Purple Heart Cities and Counties. Okaloosa County was the state's Purple Heart County and Crestview is the county's first Purple Heart City.
Florida has only a handful of Purple Heart Cities, "and less than 25 (exist) throughout the United States," said Everett, whose region encompasses eight southern states. The closest communities to share the honor are Leon County and Tallahassee, and Pike County and Troy, Ala., according the order's website.
"How fitting it was for Crestview to come on board, because there's an awful lot of retired military and active duty personnel in the Crestview area," Everett said. "Crestview has given up a lot of personnel in World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam and the Middle East."
The ornate plaque — bearing color graphics of an American bald eagle, the U.S. Constitution and the Purple Heart medal — will hang in City Hall.
"It's an honorary designation for a city that recognizes the commitment and sacrifice of our men and women in uniform for the defense of our liberties in our country," Mayor David Cadle said. "It's a way of honoring the Purple Heart recipients not just in Crestview, but throughout the nation."

Phoenix Suns
Michael Beasley isn't doing anybody any good on the bench
In July of 2012, the Phoenix Suns continued the process of giving their roster a facelift and signed enigmatic forward Michael Beasley to a three-year, $18 million contract.
The move was met with mixed reaction. Many (myself included) applauded the deal, as the Suns needed a star player. While Beasley's four-year NBA r�sum� proved that he was not a star, he at least still possessed the potential to be that type of player.
Others thought the deal was preposterous and felt giving $18 million to a player with well-chronicled focus and drug issues was far from the answer the Suns needed. If he's got so much potential, why had both the Miami Heat and Minnesota Timberwolves already given up on him before his first pro contract had expired?
Well, we're 36 games into the "Beasley era" in Phoenix, and so far, the move has been an unmitigated disaster. Beasley is averaging under 10 points and just 3.6 rebounds per game -- both by far the lowest totals in his career.
But more importantly, Beasley has completely fallen out of head coach Alvin Gentry's rotation. The former Kansas State All-American has played a total of 74 minutes in the Suns' last ten games, in which they've posted a 1-9 record. He's showed up in the box score as a "DNP - Coach's Decision" four times since December 23.
I'll fully admit that I'm not privy to the daily goings-on in the Suns' locker room. For all I know, Beasley could be a total head-case. Hey, it's been suggested by some. In December, longtime NBA writer Shaun Powell cited a Suns source in labeling Beasley as "toxic".
Be that as it may, Beasley is still on the Suns roster and is still the most talented player on the team. Which begs the question, why is he not playing? Rumored toxicity aside, it's not like putting Beasley on the bench and making an example out of him is leading to Suns' wins. In games where Beasley has scored 15 points or more, the Suns are 4-3. When Beasley has played 10 or fewer minutes or failed to get on the court, they're 2-6.
Let me reiterate, Beasley is the most talented player on the team. Has he played well this year? Absolutely not. Neither has a good portion of the roster. If you don't believe that, just look at the Pacific Division standings. The management team of general manager Lance Blanks and president of basketball operations Lon Babby knew they were taking a risk on a player whom many had given up on. They believed that they were the organization to finally untap Beasley's intriguing potential.
To pay Beasley pretty handsomely and then not play him doesn't make sense, especially for a team that craves a consistent go-to scorer. Beasley has ten 30-point games in his career -- the second-highest total on the Suns team. Jermaine O'Neal has 42, but his last one came when George W. Bush was still calling the White House home and Justin Bieber was still posting his homemade videos on YouTube. Beasley's really the only Suns player with the potential to become a go-to scorer in this league
I know what you're thinking. "Vince, when Beasley played, he wasn't consistent."
I can't fight that. Just as you can't fight the fact that it's really hard for a player to help his team while he's wearing sweats on the bench.
Beasley, even considering the frustrating nature of his play to this point, should be given the opportunity to play his way out of the funk that landed him on the bench in the first place.
I mean, what do they have to lose?

Ok, that is FREAKING AMAZING! Not conceptually but the implementation, educational benefit, and hours of fun my kids/family would have is the amazing part.
Now, pressure busts pipes and screens. I'd have to have a super-stern convo w/ anyone attempting to play with the toys. lol. I'm nervous just thinking about it. lol.
Love it!!
Disney Mobile bringing interactive toys to the iPad
Disney Mobile has come up with a clever new way for kids to play with the iPad -- as an interactive play mat. Dubbed AppMATes, players will be able to interact with a new iPad game based on Pixar's Cars 2 (more games to come) using real-world toy cars on the iPad display.
In an industry first, Disney introduced today Disney AppMATesTM Mobile Application Toys, a new toy line that comes to life digitally when used with an Apple iPad by allowing kids to use the tablet's screen as a virtual play mat.
The way it works is simple: each toy car has a capacitive sensor on the bottom, and once placed on the iPad these sensors start sending information to the game related to position, movement and character the player is using. The toy car interfaces with the iPad touchscreen seamlessly without the need for bluetooth or any wires and lets the player move the car across the screen while the app reacts to the toys movement in real-time.
Kids will be able to roam around Radiator Springs and Route 66 during gameplay and there's also a free-play mode where kids can complete mission and compete in head-to-head races.
The only concern I have with this is breaking the iPad screen if too much pressure is applied. This could be scary for some parents out there, so a good iPad case would go a long way (we recommend the OtterBox Defender Series).
Either way, this approach breathes new life into play mats by pushing it into the digital age with the iPad. Check out the video below to get a good idea of how awesome this is going to be for kids!

Davis is Bike City, USA; the city has been widely considered the "Bicycle Capital of America" since as far back as 1964. In 2006, Davis was the first city to earn the Platinum Bicycle-Friendly Community (BFC) Award from the League of American Bicyclists, and as of September 2011, Davis is one of three cities in the U.S. to have that distinction. Davis is also the home of the US Bicycling Hall of Fame.
Davis was the first city in the nation to experiment with and implement the now-ubiquitous bike lane. There are now more than 100 miles of bike paths, lanes, and trails inundating the city. Bicycles even outnumber the bipeds in the People's Republic of Davis (take part in the Bicycle Census). This page attempts to be the starting point for all of your bike-related inquiries.

Friday, February 28, 2014
Even if the weather isnt cooperating and the calendar says three more weeks remain of winter, you can always tell when the first Breath of Spring is inhaled in the Lowcountry.
And perhaps at no other time in recent history is a Breath of Spring needed. With the recent ice storms and power outages, the area needs a changing of the seasons.
Sponsored by the Belle Isle Garden Club, the Camellia Garden Club of Greater Charleston, The Garden Club of Otranto, and Town and Village Garden Club, the eighth annual Breath of Spring flower show begins Friday, Feb. 28 and will continue through March 2 at Dean Hall on the grounds of Cypress Gardens.
Show Chairman Michael Pound said while the weather has affected the number of horticulture entries, he still expects a full slate for this years show.
Our weather down here between the months of January through March is an up and down rollercoater ride with the temperatures, he said. We are cold one day, and then spring like weather the next day. This in turn can affect what you may have blooming at that time.
We may not see a lot of blooming horticulture enteries, Pound contiued, But by having other horticulture classes filled with decorative cut horticulture, hanging baskets, and potted plants that most people keep inside greenhouses or their home we should still have a good showing of horticulture for the show.
This years flower show theme is See the USA.
We choose this theme to best represent and showcase areas in the USA that we all have visited or want to visit when we go on vacation, Pound said. You will get the feeling when you walk into the show that you will be visiting certain parts of our great country through our floral designs and exhibits we have throughout the building.
The annual show will be open to the viewing public from Friday, Feb. 28 through March 2 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily. Admission is free with the $10 admission to Cypress Gardens.
In a new twist, the general public can also be a part of the flower show by entering horticulture entries on Feb. 27 from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Dean Hall.
Entries will be accepted at the back door of the Dean Hall building at that time, Pound said. Also this year the public can be a judge during the show.
The public will be able to cast a vote each day of the show for their favorite floral design.
We did this in the past and everyone enjoyed having a voice on their favorite floral design, and it was nice to see their point of view of the wonderful floral creations, Pound said. We hope that everyone will come out to Cypress Gardens and help us celebrate and See the USA through our eyes.
Pound said the flower show comes together each year through the hard work and dedication of a lot of people.
With a lot of planning throughout the year and the hard work of the flower show committee staff and Cypress Gardens employees and staff we always put on a successful flower show, he said. That is why for the last three years our flower show has won an award from the National Garden Clubs Inc. This is why everyone in the U.S.A must come and visit South Carolina and see this award winning show.

BRADSHAW – Although at times it was like they were swimming upstream, the Lady Panthers of Tug Valley defeated River View 42 to 33 Friday night at the recently consolidated school located in Bradshaw, W.Va.
Tug Valley trailed after the first quarter 8-6 and at the half 15-11, but outscored the home team 31 to 18 in the second half to pull out the victory.
"We just were not ready to play and I guess that is my fault because it is my job to get them ready," said head coach Okey Smith. "I told them at halftime that it was the worse half of ball that any of my teams had played in all the years I have coached."
"We came out and played much better in the third quarter and held on down the stretch to win the game," said Smith.
"We did have some bright spots. I thought that Amber (Linville) played better tonight especially in the second half and Hannah (Armstrong) had a good second half. I thought that Emily Baisden, Haylea Dempsey and Katie Robinson played well for us off the bench."
Junior Hannah Armstrong led Tug Valley with 13 point and eight rebounds, while Amber Linville banked in 11 points and hauled in a game high 13 rebounds. Linville also had a couple of assists. Adreana Vance chipped in five points, but also had seven rebounds, five assists and two steals.
River View was led by Kireston Dority with 12 points and Phyllis Waldron who scored 10 points.
"I would like to invite everyone to come and watch us play at home on Monday. It is our annual Breast Cancer Awareness Game and we have declared it a PINK-out at Tug Valley High School on Monday so we encourage everyone to wear pink," Smith said.
Tug Valley is now (2-0) on the season and will play Belfry at home on Monday. River View is now (0-3) on the season. They will play at Mt. View on Tuesday.
Score by quarters:
Individual scoring:
Tug Valley (2-0) – H. Armstrong 13, A. Linville 11, W. Evans-Kirk 5, E. Baisden 4 and
Katie Robinson 4.
River View (0-3) – K. Dority 12, P. Waldron 10, E. Johnson 4, R. Kennedy 4 and C. Dobbs.

Google Apps grows up
Thursday, February 22, 2007
Back in 2005, Google Apps was conceived in a few lines of code, and then it was born in February 2006. Our team has had such a close relationship with it, you might understand how we have nurtured it as we would a child.
So first there was Gmail for your domain -- a limited service that helped organizations like San Jose City College offer personalized Gmail inboxes to all their users. As our little guy picked up new skills (Calendar, Talk, and Page Creator) it grew out of its old name and into Google Apps for Your Domain.
A quick learner, by October Google Apps had perfected 17 more languages, so we could help bring our communication tools all around the globe. Later in the fall, we improved our organizational skills with the Start Page, which brought all the Apps together into a centralized place. Then it was time to start school. Google Apps entered Arizona State University and stood out as one of those high achievers. Today, students and administrators at large universities like ASU and Lakehead are raving about Apps -- how it saves money and IT resources, plus make students lives easier with bigger spam-free mailboxes and a set of tools for working together.
Now, I'm excited to tell you that our baby has finally graduated and is entering the business world. Google Apps Premier Edition is a new version designed to take on all the challenges presented by businesses with complex IT needs. For $50 per account per year, you get the whole Google Apps package plus many new business-oriented features, including access to our APIs and partner solutions (so it's easy to integrate with existing systems), conference room scheduling for Calendar, 10GB of inbox storage, extended business hours phone support, and mobile access to your email on BlackBerry devices (just in case you can't get enough at the office).
Already, companies big and small, like Procter & Gamble, General Electric Corporation, Prudential, and SF Bay Pediatrics, are talking about how this new version of Google Apps makes it easy to offer low-cost communication and collaboration tools to all their employees so they can get on with what they do best.
Google Apps also won't forget its roots anytime soon. The Standard and Education Editions will continue to be offered for free, and we'll keep working on all three flavors of Google Apps with the help of feedback from all of you. As a start, we've just integrated Google Docs & Spreadsheets in all three editions so that everyone can share and edit documents online. Since August, we've also added five more major features you've requested, including customized service URLs (mail.yourcompany.com) and domain registration for organizations that don't yet have a custom domain. Our appearance has matured too, with updates to the administrator control panel that make it easier to setup and manage your services.

Rated 4.3 out of 5Â by 9 reviewers.
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LuluFPUV Great, cozy jacket! Thhe fabric is heavy and thick almost like a cozy, fuzzy blanket... I love how it looks like a formal, military-like jacket at the same time though. I got the small knowing I wouldn't be able to wear anything thick under it because it would just look too bulky. If you want to wear a sweater underneath size up...but honestly, this thing is warm enough as it is. I'm a size 4 and it fits a tad loose just like a jacket should. 12.6.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by ydm425 Love Love Love It! I went into my local FP store looking for something else and saw this hanging. I went past it 2 times before trying it on. The jacket is medium weight, more of a heavy sweater instead of a jacket. Can't wear when its 30 degrees outside but a good weight. I only wish the jacket was lined, but the fit is good. Sleeves are long. The mustard color is as pictured, but the ivory is a nice neutral color. I could wear a small but went with a medium to allocate for a thick sweater. My normal size is a 8/10. 11.6.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by multipoo373 lonely hearts club......... I purchased this jacket in a sz M (ivory)...I am normally a sz XS ...and the fit is perfect for me. I can't imagine an XS/SM allowing enough room for a sweater to be worn underneath. I am very impressed with this jacket...the fit/look/style is very flattering and the jacket itself is quite warm and the sale price w/ 25% off makes the jacket even better...although imo it is worth the $ sale or otherwise. I only wish I was able to purchase it in the mustard color. FP what is going on with shipping...snail mail has returned????? 1.7.2013
Rated 5 out of 5Â by elsbarbie It's TAN not Ivory Beautiful thick jacket. Love this style! My only complaint is it was no where near the color pictured. It's a light tan color, not ivory at all. I'm keeping it as it was an excellent sale price and I love the cut of this jacket. Very cozy. 12.20.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by luvehorror LONG Sleeves I'm currently pregnant, so a large fit great around the waist. But the sleeves are extremely too long. To the point I may have to get them hemmed. It's ridiculous! I like longish style sleeves - but this was beyond. Other than that I'd say it's a great sweater coat, but there isn't any lining. So I most likely will not wear in the winter. 10.1.2012
Rated 4 out of 5Â by studio Retro elegance I was somewhat interested in this jacket when I saw it online in the mustard color. When I went to the store to try something else, I took both the mustard and the ivory ones to the fitting room. I did not intend to buy either because $200 is a bit much for a heavy sweater that has limited use in Michigan (there are just a few days in the year that allow just a heavy sweater). However, I ended up buying the ivory one because it looked fantastic on. It fits true to size in the shoulder/neck areas. It has an A line shape (no waist definition), the bell sleeves are long and very good looking. Because I am short, it works as a coat on me and it went perfect with the El Vaquero floral tall boots I had just purchased (FP online only, I think, which I also recommend very much). Very elegant cut and substantial material, feels heavy and drapes nicely. This coat could become a vintage piece. If you have a FP store close by, try it on, chances are you will fall in love with it. P.S. Just checked, the floral boots have sold out but if they come back: El Vaquero is actually an italian designer, the boots are made in Italy, quality leather, beautiful floral print (Fiorato), super comfortable and very stylish, worth every penny! 9.21.2012
Rated 3 out of 5Â by p1gp3n heavy! i got this in canary and the color is darker - more mustard-like. this jacket is heavy! i ended up not really like the style: the bell sleeves a a bit more exaggerated than i like, and not really sure on the collars. like another reviewer, i don't think this jacket is lined. if it is, it's very well disguised as the inside just looks like the opposite side of the top material. 9.19.2012
Rated 5 out of 5Â by bassethound21 A Beautiful Buy this is a beautiful sweater it is sweater material but very warm can be worn as a jacket i got it in navy and the color is the same as it appears online the buttons are metal it has 2 snap closures in addition to the buttons so it closes completely the bell sleeves are my favorite part they aren't overwhelming at all a terrific buy $200 is not a bad price for reference, i'm petite and about 5'4'' and this hit me at the hip 9.11.2012

No sorrow for robber
Michael Blackwell robbed banks, and, of his own accord, he put lives in peril, danger and fear. What a ridiculous article. A waste of print on the part of the Aiken Standard. A big boo-hoo to Mr. Blackwell. He should be doing life. A career criminal he is. We as honest, law-abiding tax payers paid for his associate's degree, his food, medical and dental for many years and, believe it or not, cable TV. Yes, cable TV. Inmates in the federal prison system eat better than most of us. The grounds look like a college campus – the only difference is they have a fence and razor wire, fence alarms, towers or an armed perimeter patrol around them. Still not even good enough for Mr. Blackwell, even after he was released to a halfway house, he still whined. I have no sympathy whatsoever for this individual. He slept in an air-conditioned housing unit with an ice machine, while our troops are sleeping on the ground, in vehicles, tanks, eating MRE'S and suffering unbearable heat and cold.
Fix Pine Log
S.C. Department of Transportation shouldn't worry about Tucker Creek Road; it isn't a main artery to anywhere. What they should worry about is Pine Log Road. It needs to be paved. It's in terrible shape, and people park all over the road near the schools.
Obamacare unwanted
I sold my business, got rid of my employees. I don't know where they are. Because I can make money to live on my own, I don't need to mess with Obamacare.
Lying politicians
President Clinton said, "I did not have sex with that woman." President Obama says, "I did not approve the sequester." There's plenty of evidence to prove otherwise. What is it with these presidents who look us in the eyes and lie?
Stand up to loud ads
There are now new restrictions on the volume TV ads can use in relation to the volume of normal broadcasts. This restriction is very welcomed because it prevents the abuse, which has become standard. We should do all we can to prevent this restriction from being constantly ignored. When you get an obvious "over-volume" call on your television, call or write the station that ran it. They have a responsibility in this issue. We intend to file suit with any abuse. Turn them in, and keep your freedom from the yelling maniacs. Would you actually buy a car or glasses from someone who finds it necessary to yell at you?
