Initiative aids local charities fighting hungerWritten by Brigitta Burks | News Editor | firstname.lastname@example.com
Several local groups are partnering to combat one of the biggest issues facing Northwest Ohio — hunger.
Columbia Gas of Ohio, Toledo Free Press, WNWO-TV and Moms on the Go have joined forces for the Free from Hunger initiative. The yearlong initiative supports Food for Thought, Feed Lucas County Children and Cherry Street Mission. Major sponsors include Hollywood Casino Toledo, Wells Fargo Advisors and WSPD.
"It's a really interesting approach to take a yearlong look at this because to a certain extent, it's hard to combat something as large as hunger. … How do we start to do that?" said Chris Kozak, communications and community relations manager for Columbia Gas of Ohio. "We've picked three good partners who are having a strong impact now and our goal is to help them have an even bigger impact."
The initiative was partially inspired by startling statistics: More than 85,000 Lucas County residents are "food insecure" and 35 percent of them are children younger than 18. One out of 10 of those children is younger than 5. More than 30,000 children in Lucas County live at or below the poverty line.
"How does Lucas County address issues such as education and economic development if it can't feed its people?" said Michael S. Miller, editor in chief of Toledo Free Press. Miller, who collaborated with Kozak on the initiative, said, "It's an overwhelming situation, but there are people devoting their lives to helping alleviate the crisis and we want to bring as much awareness and as many resources as we can to contributing to the solution."
Each charity will have a season of spotlight during 2013. The initiative seeks corporate sponsors to donate $5,000 each and aims to get those funds matched by the public through events put on by the charities.
All funds are being maintained by the Toledo Community Foundation. Food for Thought is the first spotlight charity, followed by Feed Lucas County Children (FLCC) and Cherry Street Mission.
Kozak said, "It's really gotta be a team effort and I'll steal a quote from Bruce Springsteen: 'Nobody wins unless everybody wins.'"
Food for Thought
The first initiative event is 7 p.m. March 23 at Forrester's on the River. "Bachelor" Bob Guiney is set to perform along with Scott Grimes. Tickets are $40 to benefit Food for Thought. A second event where local restaurants will show off their take on peanut butter and jelly sandwiches is set for May 23. More details on that event, which will feature wine/beer pairings, is forthcoming.
Sam Melden, executive director of Food for Thought, said, "One of the things about the Free from Hunger campaign is I think it really represents the next wave of raising money and community support. It really represents organizations with influence teaming up to say, 'Let's focus on this issue.'"
Food for Thought, which started in 2007, runs its stationary food pantry at 3540 Seaman Road, Oregon. It also has a mobile unit that it takes into its three-county wide community.
"We have about 12 food pantries a month — everything from rural and more urban churches to family centers," Melden said.
He stressed the importance of partnerships to Food for Thought.
"It's definitely not like an ice cream truck where it just pulls into a neighborhood and pulls out," he said. "Really what we want to do is we partner with other organizations and we kind of become their food pantry."
"The idea with that is we aren't going to assume we can be more engaged with somebody's community than they already are and that's served us well."
The charity also emphasizes serving food with thoughtfulness — meaning eye contact counts as much, if not more, than full stomachs, Melden said. This means a simplified check-in process for patrons and letting them shop more than once a month.
It also means creative spins on projects like Art for Thought, where professional and amateur artists alike can decorate lunch bags. That program is run out of The Art Supply Depo in Downtown.
Art for Thought is mainly meant for school art classes and afterschool programs. However, Melden said, "Everyone from kids the youngest age that can pick up a crayon to the most incredible artist in the city can take a bag and decorate it."
Food for Thought is also currently working with the Northwest Ohio Food Council to help provide healthier options to food pantry patrons. This means community gardens, cooking classes and themed recipes based on the pantry's inventory.
Melden said that an increase in funds could mean expanding the types of food offered at pantries and maybe taking a potential partner organization off the waiting list. He also said that more volunteers are always needed. To sign up, visit http://feedtoledo.org.
FLCC and Cherry Street
Tony Siebeneck, executive director of FLCC, and Dan Rogers, president of Cherry Street Mission, both said that the awareness that the Free from Hunger initiative could bring to the issue is especially crucial.
Siebeneck said, "This hunger awareness project to me, it's a godsend."
FLCC, which prepares meals in its kitchen and then serves them throughout the community to hungry children, started in 2002. Last summer, it served its millionth summer meal.
The summer meal program is receiving accolades, Siebeneck said.
"We're receiving a lot of calls from in-state and out-of-state organizations that are wanting to learn more about our successful food model. … That's keeping us kind of busy," he said, adding that his nonprofit is also gearing up for summer.
Rogers said of the campaign, "No question about it. What this does for Cherry Street is keep it in the forefront of our community."
Cherry Street has provided food, shelter and other goods to the needy since 1947.
Rogers stressed that food is a stabilizing force in people's lives.
"Hunger is distracting. Anything that's distracting stands between us and where we want to be," he said.
Rogers is aiming to purchase 100 chickens to provide Cherry Street with more eggs and also to vastly increase its two urban gardens' produce.
Like Rogers and Siebeneck, Kozak said that awareness is a big part of the initiative.
"Awareness is the first step to [helping]; finding out what the need is; finding out it's not something happening in a different state, in a different country; finding out there's people in Toledo just down the street that are hungry that your kids may go to school with," Kozak said.
Moms on the Go
Moms on the Go — Lisa Harst, Allie Darr and Molly Pearson — film a weekly family segment for WNWO-TV. The group has helped several charities since its inception last year.
"Basically every month we were picking a new charity and decided our efforts would be better spent," Pearson said, adding that the statistics and facts they learned about hunger made the decision to get onboard obvious.
"It kind of pulls at your heartstrings and being moms ourselves, the thought of not being able to feed your children three meals a day or even one is heart wrenching."
Darr agreed.
"Personally, I'm a mom of three little boys and the thought of me not being able to feed them is very emotional for me," she said.
Pearson said even if you can't come to a specific event, donations to the charities are still encouraged.
Chris Topf, president of WNWO-TV, said that the station always looks for ways to make the community a better place.
"I want everybody to take this seriously and get involved. For the amount of money you might spend for going out to lunch, you can feed a family for a good long time," he said.

'Bachelor' concert benefits Food for Thought
By Michelle Zepeda
It's a chance to rub elbows with celebrities and enjoy an intimate concert, all while raising money for an important Lucas County charity.
On March 23, Bob Guiney, one of the most popular bachelors from the ABC show "The Bachelor," and Scott Grimes, an actor from NBC's "ER," will take the stage in Toledo. The concert benefits Food for Thought, a social justice organization dedicated to feeding the hungry with a mobile food program.
"We are really hopeful people will come out," Guiney said. "They are trying to raise as much money as they can for Food for Thought and hopefully people will see the value of that and come and hang out with us."
Guiney and Grimes teamed up about a year ago. They tour together and play a many charity shows.
"We are doing it for causes that we believe in and causes that we think the money is really going to go to a really good place," Guiney said. "Plus, it's an advantage because he is my best buddy and we get to hang out and play music together and all the while we are doing something good for someone else."
Guiney and Grimes met after playing in Band From TV, a group of actors that has a passion for music and charity. They tour together and all the money raised at their shows goes to the actors' favorite charities.
"It's been the most rewarding thing because we do it all for charity," Guiney said. "We have raised $3 million for charity during the past seven years."
But with so many actors' conflicting schedules, it's hard to tour often, so Guiney and Grimes started their own band.
"What actually ended up happening is Bob and I were itching all the time to keep performing," Grimes said. "So we said, 'While we are on break, let's do a very scaled down version of Band From TV,' which ended up being something more original than Band From TV, because we don't just do cover songs. We do our own stuff."
Guiney added, "We were itching to play more and were anxious to put our creative minds together more and write some more real songs. Because Band From TV is more about playing cover songs, and we love that, but we both had the desire to get up there and play our own stuff too."
Guiney's TV career began when he was an eligible bachelor not chosen by Trista Rehn (Sutter) on the 2003 season of "The Bachelorette," before taking the lead on "The Bachelor." He has hosted several TV shows, including HGTV's "Showhouse Showdown," as well as contributing to "Today."
"My whole life, before I was on 'The Bachelor' or anything, I signed a record deal and I was a musician," Guiney said. "I played Toledo several times. I was in a band called Fat Amy, which we started back in 1991 and started touring with bands like The Verve Pipe, Matchbox Twenty and The Smoking Popes."
Grimes was also a songwriter and solo artist before his acting career took off in movies like "Robin Hood" and TV shows such as "Party of Five," "Band of Brothers," "ER" and his voice work on "American Dad" and "Family Guy." Both have a collection of original work they play at their concerts.
"We play our own original music that we played before we met," Grimes said. "But we've noticed that accidentally we've changed our own stuff to combine what he loves and I love. The music that I've written before I met Bob is kind of changing as we sing together and has changed into the music that him and I sing together."
Both men said the show will have people dancing to the music.
"We are a couple of guys with guitars who bang out a bunch of fun songs," Guiney said. "There are a bunch of songs you will recognize, there are some songs you might recognize from back in the day that got a lot of radio play like my song 'Girlfriend' and Scott's song 'Sunset Boulevard.' We like to mix songs that we like to play and the crowd likes and keep things moving and have some fun with it."
Grimes added, "There is no pretentiousness about it; it's nothing but fun. People are welcome onstage anytime. It's a good old-fashioned pub show even if we are playing at a giant place. It's really intimate and anything goes."
The event is part of Free From Hunger 2013, a yearlong initiative spearheaded by Columbia Gas of Ohio, Toledo Free Press, WNWO-TV and Moms on the Go and supported by Hollywood Casino Toledo, Wells Fargo Advisors and WSPD. All the money raised at the Guiney and Grimes concert will benefit Food for Thought, a social justice organization dedicated to feeding the hungry with a mobile food program. The concert will be at 7 p.m. March 23 at Forrester's on the River in The Docks. Tickets are available online at http://store.feedtoledo.org and are $40 each.
"What we are doing for Food for Thought and Moms in Heels and these events in Toledo is awesome because instead of just sending a check from a show from a thousand miles away and hoping it helps, we are actually raising awareness," Guiney said.
In addition to raising awareness, this concert is a homecoming for Guiney. He is a Detroit native who worked in Toledo years ago, for a phone book company.
"I love Toledo. There were some great restaurants and I even worked in Bowling Green for a while," Guiney said. "We are very excited. I'm excited to introduce Scott to some people in the Midwest. We will give them a great show and shake hands and meet people and have a lot of fun."

The Port Arthur Historic Site Management Authority (PAHSMA) is celebrating major wins at the 2012 Tasmanian Tourism Awards, announced in Hobart on November 9.
The Site, one of Tasmania's most recognisable and visited destinations, was named 2012's best major tourist attraction, as well as Tasmania's best heritage and cultural tourism experience.
The Authority was also recognised for its latest tourism offering, the Port Arthur Paranormal Investigation, which took out the best new tourism development award.
PAHSMA Chairman, Dr Barry Jones, said the awards were recognition of the hard work of the entire PAHSMA team, in what had been a difficult time for the tourism industry as a whole.
"While visitor numbers and revenue have been down, requiring us to do more with less, we have remained focused on delivering a great visitor experience at Port Arthur as well as innovating and introducing exciting new product offerings," said Dr Jones.
"We are particularly delighted that our Port Arthur Paranormal Investigation Experience has been recognised. It has been a notable success since its launch last February. The monthly tours have been running at or near capacity throughout the winter, and we are now at the point of needing to add additional tours to meet demand."
"On behalf of the Board I thank and congratulate all PAHSMA staff on the hard work that has won these awards, and on behalf of everyone at PAHSMA, extend our congratulations to all winners and finalists in what was a very competitive field at the Awards."
The 2012 Tasmanian Tourism Award winners were selected by a panel of 24 judges with experience in the Tasmanian tourism and related industries. An impressive field of 93 finalists across 28 categories made up the competition. Entries for the Tasmanian Tourism Awards were open to all tourism businesses and individuals operating in Tasmania.
Tasmanian winners go on to represent the State at the Qantas Australian Tourism Awards, to be held in February at the Princes Wharf Shed No 1 in Hobart. This process allows star Tasmanian tourism products to gain National recognition.

Chattanooga Head Coach John ShulmanThoughts on the game"At this moment, you can't convince me that we are not going to have a chance to be pretty good. Our guys don't understand the little things it takes to win Division I games at this moment. I am shocked by that. We have four guys out there that have never played Division I basketball. This is only their fourth game of their career and we're playing a team that beat Mississippi State earlier this year. They are a pretty good basketball team. If anyone didn't think we were going to have to go through growing pains and a learning process, they were sadly mistaken. So I am not pushing the panic button. We are just going through growing pains and that's what you do with young guys. We take a lead in the second half and we don't get a couple of stops, but they can shoot the basketball pretty good. We out-rebounded them by 17, got to the foul line 10 more times and didn't turn the ball over very much. We're going to make shots sometimes. They just feel like they have the weight of the world on their shoulders and I'm going to help them take it off."
Thoughts on what little things the team needs to do to be successful"We are in a 1-3-1 and we have a chance to grab a rebound, but we don't grab it. We surprise them with a trap and the ball is just floating around on the floor, but we don't grab it. A free throw here or a turnover where Z. Mason isn't looking and we give up a dunk on the other end. Those five plays right there is your ball game. You can look at all the stats you want, but those plays are your ball game. They don't understand that yet, nor should they. I'm going to clip the tape tonight and show them the little things, and once they start valuing every single possession then you start to have a pretty good basketball team."
Thoughts on Troy's gameplan"They play very different than anybody we're going to play. They didn't throw it into the post the whole night. We did a really good job of switching ball screens, they brought our five's out on the floor and they were very difficult to guard. I think we did a decent job guarding them. Only gave up 41% shooting, didn't foul them that much and out-rebounded them by 17. Our stats do not equal our results. There are a few areas we're doing a great job in and there are a few areas we can improve. Our effort is very good."
Thoughts on the CBE Classic through two games"When we got into this classic, the plan was to play a lot of games. I said I wasn't going to freak out if we took a loss. This has never been done at Chattanooga. We have four freshmen out there playing a ton of minutes. It's never been done before. They will get there and, when they do get there, people are going to enjoy it because they are going to be there for a long time."
On what he tells his team when it is tight late in the game"Hopefully we're in that position a lot. We just have to learn possessions and learn to be great listeners in the huddle. Our guys are busting their tail, but they just haven't been through the wars yet. They will get there. It takes a little time. This is high level Division I basketball. It takes time. We told everybody to be patient. They are too talented not to get there and they listen too well. My goal is to have these freshmen be sophomores by the Dr. Pepper Classic."
Ronrico White, sophomore, guardOn the theme of the past two nights"I feel like we've missed a ton of free throws. We've done a good job getting to the line, getting to the paint and drawing fouls. We just have to execute and knock our free throws down."
On what caused them to be down early"I think it was little plays here and there. I remember the ball rolling around on the floor a couple of times. We had guys diving on the floor, we just couldn't get there. It was like we were trying to get over the hump and we just couldn't do it."
On Louisiana Tech"I caught the first half against Troy. They do a good job of talking on defense. That's one thing we need to do better. There a well coached team. It'll be a challenge but we'll be up for it."
Casey Jones, freshman, guardOn what he learned from playing in a close game"We have to treat every possession like the last possession of the game. And we have to get those tipped passes."
On how playing in a close game will help him"I think it's very beneficial to my future here. It's hard. I just have to get past it and play harder. All our freshmen have to know that."
Thoughts on being a young team"It is kind of hard. You're coming from high school where you are the old guy on the team, but you come to college and they tell me I'm young. Our freshmen don't feel like it's an excuse. Even our sophomores don't feel like it's an excuse."
On the speed of the game"It's real fast. Coach and all the coaches, even Rico, told me I have to run the floor harder. I thought I was running kind of hard but obviously it's not enough. I have to get faster. I have to work harder."
On preparing for Louisiana Tech"We have to learn from the mistakes we made tonight and dive on the floor if the opportunity is there. Every night, even if you're a little tired, play harder. I wouldn't prepare for team differently. I just play harder."
Troy Head Coach Don Maestri Thoughts on the game"We were very fortunate, to be honest. It's a tough thing as a coach to go through what Coach Shulman was going through. You're watching your team miss free throw after free throw. The coach can't coach you to shoot a free throw. Those things just happen. Thank goodness for us, that's what kept us in the first half. In the first half they were 4-for-13. That's not going to happen again this year probably. So we were lucky there and in the second half. We were fortunate to get to the free throw line and make some free throws. It's a tough business but I think their team is going to be pretty good before it's all over. This is a tough tournament. Louisiana Tech and Southeast Missouri, those guys are good. We got a bunch of breaks tonight. Thank goodness they missed a lot of shots they normally make and missed some free throws to let us stay in it."
Thoughts on Scott's second half"He was 1-for-10 in the last two games. I was about ready to put him on the redshirt team. How do you figure that out? I go to church every day. I think that may have something to do with it. It helped Vince Lombardi and it's helped me stay here for a while. Divine intervention comes into play. Scott can shoot the basketball but he's been absolutely awful this season. All I know is it was meant to be for us and I was happy to see them go in. He is a good shooter, so maybe it was his turn."
On what he tried to do to exploit the UTC defense"We tried to drive more. We had another kid who had a good night, Antoine Myers. He hadn't played that well this season in exhibition games, against Texas A&M, Mississippi State, or last night. For some reason the game came around to him tonight. He drove in. He's a very good physical driver for a point guard. He's a reason along with those missed free throws that gave us a lead going into halftime. I'd have to say that he is the key to us in the first because he made some big plays on his own and for this team."

Don't use comments in ERB. Writing comments (or any '#' character, for that matter) inside an ERB evaluation block was never right, but some versions of Ruby 1.8.6 allowed it anyway. This is trouble if you upgrade to Ruby 1.8.7 (for example, when upgrading to Snow Leopard) which does not allow comments within ERB.
This is wrong:

If you really need comments in ERB, do it this way:
<%# link to the homepage %>
<%= link_to "/", home_path %>
test-unit 2.0.3 breaks RSpec. If you upgrade to test-unit 2.0.3, you may notice that your RSpec specs no longer run. Roll back to test-unit < 2.0 (or remove the test-unit gem completely) and you should be back in business.
RubyMine 1.5 early release is available for trying out. Preliminary reports from one Pivot are positive. If you are using Snow Leopard, which ships with Java 1.6, you'll need to do this hack to get it to run

Here comes Santa Claus, here comes Santa Claus, right down 30A.
The jolly ol' man will arrive for the annual Turn on the Town celebration at Seaside to light up the community and the faces of good little girls and boys Nov. 24 in the Central Square Amphitheater.
"We're looking forward to seeing all the folks," said Santa.
Santa and Mrs. Claus will position themselves beneath the town's 24-foot bedecked Christmas tree in the amphitheater to take photos and talk to children of all ages.
"Santa will stay there for as long as it takes" to hear all of the children's wish lists, he said.
But Santa's arrival is but the pinnacle of the tradition, which will kick off Friday night, Nov. 23, with a screening of "Elf" in the amphitheater at 7 p.m.
The Saturday morning scene will open onto a special holiday Seaside Farmers Market, which will last 9 a.m. until 1 p.m.
"With the market leading into the early afternoon, it's really a full day of holiday activities," said Adam Shiland, event producer. But, "At 4 o'clock the festivities really kick off with the annual South Walton holiday parade … it's truly a 30A and South Walton tradition that originated in Seaside."
The parade will begin at
Santa and his cheery wife will ride into
And if that is not enough to flip the switch on your holiday cheer, the town-wide lighting is sure to do the trick. Thousands of lights will twinkle throughout Seaside as in years past, though more holiday lights than usual will brighten favorite scenes.
"Some of those iconic Seaside structures are going to be lit," said Shiland, "one in particular for the very first time."
He added that is just one of the "really impressive" surprises, though he wouldn't give any away.
"It ought to be quite a sight," said Santa, who will count down the town lighting.
After the traditional lighting, it will be time for children to hop on Santa's lap and tell him their Christmas wishes. But be forewarned, nothing naughty or nice can be kept from this 21st century Santa.
"Santa's very up to date; Santa has an iPad," he said of the system that can scan a face and immediately reveal "Naughty" or "Nice."

"Typically we do the naughty and nice list," said Santa. "But it's done in pencil."
Santa said adults are also welcome to share their wish lists, but made sure to add that spelling counts when asking for a brand new Mercedes. He added that the cars are really model cars, but, "They can get any color they want."
And as excited as the child in all will be to see Santa, he is looking forward to exchanging the North Pole's snow for

Michael Jordan, one of the greatest players in basketball history, has one more record. It's not likely a record he wanted. He's the owner of the NBA's worst team ever. The Charlotte Bobcats have seven wins and 59 losses.

Last week Fred Lloyd Holder faced a jury of his peers after being charged with Murder in the First Degree. Holder was charged with the murder of Jacky Dellinger on April 23, 2010. Dellinger was found dead on March 6, 2009.
On March 6th, 2009, relatives found Jacky Ray Dellinger dead on his property in Rattan, with a fatal gunshot wound. Investigators had a prime suspect, Fred Holder, but it would take a year to gather enough evidence to acquire an arrest warrant.
Officers searched close to 40 acres of land, and had divers go into some ponds just in case there might be some evidence there. The evidence they were looking for came in the form of a small piece of notebook paper found on the ground at the crime scene with two numbers handwritten on it.
The handwriting matched Holders, according to the police report, and both numbers had been called from Holder's cell phone on the day of the murder and registered with cell phone towers in the area. Officers said Holder was always a suspect, but they needed proof, and they believed that this was it.
After a week long trial, that started Monday, September 12, 2011, at 4:30 p.m. on Friday, September 16, 2011 Fred Holder was acquitted of all charges when the jury presented a not guilty verdict. The trial was heard by Judge Campbell, a District Judge from Durant. Prosecutors for the State were Johnny Loard, First Assistant District Attorney and Emily Herron, District Attorney.
"We feel that the OSBI did a great job and we thought we had a strong case," said Loard. "Obviously the jury disagreed."

Hi Everyone,
It was really nice meeting all of you yestreday! Sorry we missed Jenchar and Teenster. Hope to meet you soon!
I'm excited about the brochure campaign! Since my experience was so recent, I still have a pretty great network of medical contacts in relevant areas. The midwives who took care of me, up to and even after they turned my care over to the obstetrics department; the obestetricians that took care of me; the obstetric nurses at the hospital; and the special care nursery/NICU nurses and neonatologists that took care of Avery for her 27 day hospital stay. I also have a group of girlfriends that are planning on starting families, and of course they all have friends doing the same. I think this will be a great opportunity to get the word out!
I wanted to mention that I looked up Dr. Brewer after getting home last night (you peaked my interest), and it appears the fellow died in November. In case you hadn't heard, I thought I'd pass on the news.
Denise, thanks for your sharing your experience with baby acid reflux. I feel empowered and happy that I challenged my pediatrician. I'll let you know what the peds gastro says!
Talk to you all soon!

Thurrott'ling iPhone Market Share: Paul Retorts!
Yesterday we covered some of the blogswarm surrounding the iPhone having (possibly!) already sold 10 million units, becoming the most popular smartphone in the US, and the 2nd most popular handset in the US.
Well, Windows Super-Siter Paul Thurrott retorts:
So this is just like Mac market share, in other words. It's a subset of a subset of a market, picked to make the picture look even rosier than it really is. It's US sales of smart phones to consumers over the counter at retail locations only, not "US sales of smart phones." Most smart phones are sold to business users, not consumers, incidentally. And that means that "typical" smart phone sales are corporate sales, not consumer sales. This whole thing is a crock.
So, is Paul right? Are the sales numbers cherry-picked, smoke shrouded, mirror-skewed, squinted at slivers of fantasized reality? Or is he, a well known iPhone and Mac user, just trolling to get sites like ours to link to his blog? (D'oh!)
Have something to say about this story? Leave a comment! Need help with something else? Ask in our forums!

Thurrott'ling iPhone Market Share: Paul Retorts!
Nice way to quote out of context Rene. Why didn't you include this portion of his post? "Apple's very real successes. The iPhone's doing great. And it's opening up a consumer market for smart phones. That's the real story here." His sales figure claims are true, as NPD clearly states on their site-"Note: Sales figures do not include corporate/enterprise mobile phone sales." Of course they can garner 17% of smart phone sales at retail to the typical consumer. That's simply because the consumer is buying a mobile phone that conveniently also falls into the smart phone category. It's a successful device for sure, but it doesn't command 17% of the US smart phone market. It commands 17% of the non-corporate smart phone market. A market that NPD says comprises 19% of all handset sales in the us.
How's it out of context? It's in context. It couldn't be more contextualized if we had a 3D animated Thurrott floating over the text explaining it ;)
That + link to his site = ultimate context.
Paul is a reject...
and at the end of the day who cares about corp sales vs retail. The point being if 10 million iPhones are sold... then well.. they are sold. Good job iPhone. Who cares about the stupid comparison to WinMO business devices...
The bottom line is, things are shifting... we all know it, We can smell it. Ask yourselves this. I know I'M a gadget geek... and i had my own smartphones before the iPhone, and i know if YOU'RE a gadget geek you had one to.
BUT what about all those people who AREN'T, like your MOM and your sister, and your girlfriends MOM. Guess what, none of them are gadget geeks and until now they had regular normal Flip phones, or normal phones.
But NOW they have an iPhone... like i said.. change is coming.
To see what's really under Paul's skin, Google this: lyons thurrott fake phony

Liam Hemsworth's Crazy Street Fight: Watch the Actor Brawl in Philadelphia (VIDEO)
We all know Katniss Everdeen can defend herself, but after watching this video of The Hunger Games star Liam Hemsworth duking it out on the streets of Philadelphia, we think she might want to stick by Gale's side.
TMZ captured the footage of Liam's spat early Sunday morning in Philadelphia, where the actor is currently working on his movie Paranoia. Miley Cyrus, Liam's 20-year-old fiancee, reportedly arrived in town yesterday.
While the video is pretty shaky, sources told the site that Liam thought one of the guys on the street had thrown a rock at him, prompting the actor to retaliate. The video ends with police sirens blaring, so thankfully things couldn't have gotten too out of hand and Liam ran off with his friend before he could do any more damage.
What do you think of the star's street spat? Was Liam overreacting?

Karen Eggert (301) 734-7280
WASHINGTON, Feb. 27, 2006--The U.S. Department of Agriculture's Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) has placed a temporary ban on the importation of poultry and commercial shipments of live birds, hatching eggs and unprocessed avian products from the French Department (state) of Ain based on the diagnosis of highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 in commercially raised turkeys. The ban became effective Feb. 25.
The restriction is only on the Department of Ain, not the entire country of France .
Previously, USDA has placed bans on the following countries due to the presence of the H5N1 strain of avian influenza in commercial flocks: Cambodia , Egypt , India , Indonesia , Japan , Laos , Kazakhstan , Malaysia , Nigeria , People's Republic of China , Romania , Russia , South Korea , Thailand , Turkey , Ukraine and Vietnam .
Processed poultry products from these countries must be accompanied by a USDA permit. Permits are issued by APHIS' Veterinary Services. They confirm that the products were treated according to government requirements.
U.S.-origin pet birds and performing birds will be allowed to return from France only after entering one of the three USDA Quarantine Centers for 30 days.
AI viruses can be classified into low pathogenicity (LPAI) and high pathogenicity (HPAI) forms based on the severity of the illness they cause in poultry. Most AI strains are classified as LPAI and cause few clinical signs in infected birds. HPAI involves a high mortality rate among birds and its detection prompts an immediate federal response. USDA currently has an interlocking system of safeguards in place to protect the U.S. poultry industry from avian influenza including trade restrictions, ongoing federal-state-industry surveillance and emergency preparedness and outreach programs to ensure early detection and rapid response to any signs of the virus.
For more information on AI, please visit: http://www.usda.gov/birdflu .

The regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Trustees was called to order at 4:30 p.m. by President Sharon Farris. In attendance were Mary Taylor, Susan Punzelt, George Griffin, Roxanne Michels, Ryan Fehrmann, Greg McHenry and Librarian Teresa Pennington. Absent were Trustees Amy McGilvrey and Aaron Rhoads.
Minutes of Previous Meeting: MOTION: Griffin, second Michels to approve minutes. Motion carried.
Finance Report: MOTION: Fehrmann, second Griffin to approve report, to recognize March 2013 checks and deposits, and to authorize the purchase of 18 adult fiction, four adult nonfiction, and one young adult title from Baker & Taylor. Motion carried.
Book Committee: No report.
House Committee: Pennington reported that the Paris Rotary Club will be serving the library by completing some interior work downstairs this summer.
Librarian's Report (Statistics): MOTION: McHenry, second Griffin to approve report. Motion carried.
Friends of the Library: Pennington reported that with the $1000 the FOTL gave from the book sale the library purchased a second laptop for the circulation desk, a book cart and a security mirror for the northeast stairwell.
Unfinished Business: IHLS will follow current Illinet Interlibrary Loan Code by circulating items according to owning libraries' circulation policies. This is not new to our library, as the former Lincoln Trail Libraries System also followed Illinet code.
*Since the cost of using Unique Management System, a collection agency module for use through SHARE, costs $250 annually plus a per patron cost, the library will decide after a trial period whether to pay for this module.
*For the library to become PCI compliant so it can continue to accept credit card payments online through the Illinois Funds/E-Pay Program, Pennington need only complete and submit a SAQ A v2.0 form.
New Business: The board nominated the proposed slate of officers to be presented at the May meeting:
Greg McHenry—President, Ryan Fehrmann—Vice President, Mary Taylor--Secretary.
*MOTION: McHenry, second Punzelt to approve the proposed Library Budget May 2013-April 2014. Motion carried.
*In order to qualify for the 2014 Per Capita Grant, the library will conduct an environmental scan of the community as part of the application.
Librarian's Announcements: All libraries in IHLS will begin using the new SHARE catalog tomorrow, April 9.
Meeting adjourned 5:40 p.m. Next meeting is Monday, May 13, 2013.
Respectfully Submitted,
Mary Taylor, Secretary
