LA Weekly: Profile of People Who Go To Disneyland Almost Every Day
Benji Breitbart doesn't go to Disneyland every day.
"I wasn't here last Thursday," he says as we walk down Main Street. "I usually come six days a week."
We're moving quickly. "I have things I need to do," Benji says. He's canvassing the park, looking for anything new or out of place.
"We're reopening the Electric Parade, so they're getting ready," he says, indicating some people in white uniforms scurrying about. I hadn't noticed them, and it's hard to tell exactly what they're doing. But Benji knows. He knows everything that happens here almost as soon as it happens.

Results from Thursday's Events
Complete\ Decathlon\ Results
AUSTIN, Texas - Mark Johnson's personal record in the pole vault helped the University of New Mexico senior move up six places to finish seventh on the final day of the decathlon this afternoon at the 77th Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays. Johnson finished with a personal best and NCAA provisional qualifying score of 7,141 in his first appearance at the Texas Relays.
After finishing day one in 13th place, the Fontana, Wisc. native soared 16-04.75 in the pole vault (T3rd), nearly eight inches above his previous best, to shoot up the standings. Johnson capped his afternoon with another personal record of 4:44.46 in the 1,500-meter run. He also notched personal bests in the 100 (11.30), discus (127-01) and javelin (144-04) during the 10-event competition to eclipse the provisional qualifying score by 141 points.
Johnson, the 2004 MWC indoor heptathlon champion, was one of 11 in the 16-man field to surpass the provisional standard, while three athletes secured automatic bids to the NCAA Outdoor Track Championships. Mountain West Conference rivals Curtis Pugsley (7,044 pts.) and Devin Scoresby (6,854 pts.), both of BYU, finished tied for ninth and 12th, respectively.
In other action at Mike A. Myers Stadium, senior Chris Garofola clocked a time of 53.82 to finish fourth in his heat and a solid 23rd overall in the 400-meter hurdles. Junior Jamie Fishencord, meanwhile, notched her third NCAA regional qualifying mark in the hammer, finishing third in her flight and 14th overall with a mark of 174-03.
Garofola kicks off a full day of Texas Relays competition tomorrow morning when he joins the field of the 110m hurdles. Branden Bennett (pole vault), Jason Barkemeyer (discus/shot put), Jimmy Minner (javelin), Veronica R. Gonzales (javelin) and Kayla Brown (javelin) will also compete on Friday. The UNM women's distance medley relay team of Kimilia Davis, Amanda Swann, Riann Lucy and Jacquelyne Gallegos will cap the meet with their race on Saturday afternoon.

According to ABC news our Government wants to sell out of all the helium by 2014 and has been selling it to private corporations for the last 15 years under cost to do so. Why? Who knows, some politician decided 15 years ago that the Government shouldn't be in the helium business. Liquid helium is need for MRI machines so get ready for more medical costs to go up. What a wise Government we have.
This murderer is getting put away for life so there is no need for more trials and their cost. Send him to Virginia and Ohio to stand trial for his crimes he committed in those states. Whatever time those two states give him let him serve time there at their expense. If he gets less then life then bring him back to Michigan afterwards so he can finish his life term. Leyton has no reason to go to trial for the other Michigan offenses other then showboating and getting more money.
Most times when they say they lost a million dollars in a case like this, they mean they lost a million dollars in potential income. They tend to leave the word potential out of their statement. Like to know which one it is in this case. Especially when he doesn't want to sue to recoup his "loss".
Would love to see Unions Joints food and Cider closer to home.
I'm sure the other victims and their families would like their day in court but the cost of more trials need to be thought of in cash strapped Flint. He will spend the rest of his life in prison and no matter how many more times he is convicted the punishment will be the same.
In the "full report" it states "Documents released in the case show that authorities believe McClinton-Hunter and the other accused 17-year-old used cellphones to record the sexual assaults of underage girls and showed the videos to others.
According to search warrant documents, authorities seized a variety of electronic devices — seven laptop computers, five cellphones, one memory card and a thumb drive — from the homes of the two accused teens". If they find the recordings on any of the seized devices it won't matter what the girl says the authorities can still prosecute them.
Smith Village has been nothing but a scam of Federal dollars since the day it started 14 years ago. Nothing will happen until the next deadline and the minimum will be done again. All the grant money is long gone.
Un-collectable and unenforceable. What is really funny is that the County Commissioners already budgeted $265,000 in new revenue from the new jail fees in the current fiscal year.
I could see them doing the "click it or Ticket" if Flint and some surrounding areas were not overrun with crime and Police had time on their hands to do this. Also it is true that that they do find people with outstanding warrants but with no jail space do they just issue another appearance ticket? With all these officers available for this program during the day it looks like these officers need to be transferred to the night shift when the thugs are out and the City is being shot up.
Hot water is needed regardless, the issue should be the price. Seems that anything the Government pays for cost twice as much as it should. Competitive estimates should be submitted. Flint tends to hand out contracts to administrators "favorite" contractors.
He may not of had full coverage and just had PLPD.
I know people that hunt just for the pleasure of the hunt and don't eat the meat, but they still have the meat processed and donate the meat so it's not just wasted. Killing an animal and just leaving it to rot is wrong and I wish his fine and punishment was more harsh.
Just two stupid lowlife people.
Completely agree, just pandering for votes.
14 year on-going scam of Federal tax dollars. Nothing will happen until they get close to their next deadline. Stupidly at it's finest.
Congratulations and best of luck in the Olympics.
I suppose we would have better priests if they quit having sex with young boys. Foolish comment.
A new School Superintendent at a reasonable pay scale would be a step in the right direction. Paying $187,000 plus $52,000 in benefits a year to a superintendent that has no clue of what is going on is the biggest waste of money Flint Schools have.
Save another $100,000+ by firing the worthless School Superintendent and hiring someone else at a reasonable salary. $187,000 a year plus $52,000 in benefits for a School Superintendent who cannot do Her job in a broke City makes no sense at all.
Just what I was thinking, if they can't get them to pay the $12 booking fee how are they going to get them to pay $60 a day jail fee.

Cheverus girls dominate McAuley, earn first win
PORTLAND—The Cheverus girls' lacrosse team, a year removed from a stunning and stirring playoff run, began the 2012 season with a defeat.
But Thursday afternoon, on the chilly banks of the Back Cove, the Stags bounced back.
Hosting rival McAuley, Cheverus dominated in the draw circle, had a 66-29 advantage in ground balls, forced 20 turnovers and rode six goals from sophomore Meredith Willard en route to a start-to-finish 14-5 victory over the Lions.
The Stags evened their record at 1-1 and dropped McAuley to 0-2.
"It was good to get in the win column," said Cheverus coach Jamie Chamberlain. "We have a lot of newer players. It was good for them to get into a comfort zone today and be able to work on some things."
Return to form
Cheverus won just three regular season games in 2011, but the third was a late season upset of Gorham, which gave the Stags enough Heal Points to qualify for the tournament.
Cheverus then upset Messalonskee and Cony to make it all the way to the Eastern Class A Final before its run finally ended at the hands of Brunswick.
McAuley was 6-6 a year ago, which matched the best record in program history. The Lions fell short of the playoffs, but entered 2012 confident.
McAuley dropped its opener at two-time defending Class A state champion Scarborough, 13-0, while the Stags opened with a 12-9 loss at Massabesic.
Last season, the Lions beat Cheverus, 13-9, just their second win in six all-time meetings (please see sidebar).
Thursday, the Stags put all their attributes on display.
Cheverus dominated possession from the get-go, but early on, McAuley senior goalie Jaime LaCasse stood tall and kept the Stags off the board.
Finally, with 22:21 to go in the first half, Willard scored for the first time, unassisted, and Cheverus was ahead to stay.
After eight minutes of back-and-forth play with no scoring, the Stags doubled their lead when senior Sarah LaQuerre struck unassisted.
The Lions scored their first goal of the season with 13:30 remaining in the half, when senior standout Sadie DiPierro, last seen playing a huge role in the school's basketball team's second straight state championship, scored unassisted to make it 2-1.
That would be McAuley's high-water mark of the half, as Cheverus closed on a 7-0 run.
Willard got the surge started with an unassisted goal. Sophomore Sadie Lyons made it 4-1 with an unassisted tally after a pretty stop-and-go move. Off the ensuing draw, Willard (from freshman Abby Beigel) scored.
"Low shots worked," said Willard. "(Jaime's) very good, tough. I was trying to find the open pocket."
Over the next five minutes, sophomore Alex Logan, who ruled the draw circle, scored twice (her first goal was assisted by Lyons, the second by senior Catie Walsh) and Willard tallied two unassisted goals (the first unassisted, the second on a free position) and the Stags were in firm control at halftime, 9-1.
"It was good to see us relax a little bit," said Chamberlain. "One of the details today was shot selection. Jaime's a really good goalie and was forcing us to make good shots. We focused on getting good looks."
Over the first 25 minutes, Cheverus had a 7-4 advantage on draws, garnered 37 ground balls and had an 18-6 shots on goal edge.
"It was a tough start," said McAuley coach Jo-Ellen Rand. "We had trouble holding on to the ball and the draws really killed us at the beginning. When you don't win the draw, it's hard."
Things evened up in the second half, but the Lions were too far behind to make things interesting.
The Stags pushed the lead to 12-1 behind the efforts of sophomore Elyse Caiazzo, who scored unassisted, scored again (from LaQuerre), then converted once more unassisted.
McAuley answered back as senior Claire McLaughlin scored unassisted off the draw, then took a pass from senior Mary Leasure and finished to cut the deficit to 12-3 with 16:53 to go.
With 14:45 remaining, Lyons (from Caiazzo) beat LaCasse to make it 13-3, but with 12:31 left, DiPierro (from senior Taxia Arabazis) beat Cheverus freshman goalie Hope Correia.
Willard scored one final time, on a free position, with 9:03 to play. An unassisted goal from Arabatzis with 1:56 remaining accounted for the 14-5 final score.
"It feels great, I think we all wanted it," Willard said. "The team spirit drove us. Last year carried over."
Willard put on an offensive show with six goals.
"Meredith has speed," Chamberlain said. "We're getting her to use that speed to put pressure on the defense. Her teammates set her up well. There was good passing."
Willard had plenty of help.
Caiazzo scored three goals, Logan and Lyons had two apiece and LaQuerre finished with one. Beigel, Caiazzo, LaQuerre, Logan and Walsh had one assist each. Correia made five saves.
"(Hope's) a week in," said Chamberlain. "She's done great. She did well for us down at Massabesic (12 saves). She works hard and gets better each game. She has a lot of potential. It was tough today because she sat there without a lot of action, then a girl would come down and bust a shot. That was an adjustment for her mentally, as well as physically."
Cheverus won 14 of 21 draws as Logan excelled in the circle, taking 13 of 18 opportunities.
"We worked on draws and people in support (of Alex) yesterday (in practice)," Chamberlain said. "It was good to see the girls really focused on that today and do a good job of it."
LaQuerre won 1 of 2 chances and Caiazzo went 0-for-1.
"Draws are important," Willard said. "We did well getting ground balls off the draws."
Perhaps the most impressive stat was the Stags' dominance on ground balls (66-29). Willard led all players with a dozen. Lyons grabbed nine, Walsh had seven and Caiazzo six. Cheverus committed 18 turnovers, but forced 20.
"We've been working on our ride," Chamberlain said. "The attack players this year have done a good job supporting the midfielders. The defenders have supported as well. When you have an athletic team, you can pressure more. The girls are learning what they can and can't do with that pressure. Once we settled down and relaxed, we did a good job cutting and making good plays."
The Stags had a 27-14 advantage in shots (26-10 in shots on cage).
For McAuley, DiPierro and McLaughlin each scored twice, while Arabatzis had the other goal. Arabatzis and Leasure both had an assist. LaCasse impressed with a dozen saves. Junior Delaney Regan led the Lions in ground balls with five. DiPierro, Leasure and McLaughlin each grabbed four. In the draw circle, DiPierro was successful 7 of 20 times. Leasure went 0-for-1.
"I thought we played much, much better in the second half," Rand said. "If we did that in the first half, it would have been a different game. Jaime made big saves. She kept us in the game. Claire McLaughlin and Sadie really pushed the ball offensively. Delaney Regan did really well in the second half. (Freshman) Mary-Kate Walsh came up bin the second half. It was a tough start. It's hard to fight back from being down 9-1."
Next up
McAuley seeks its first victory of the season Saturday when it hosts Deering. Monday, the Lions are home against Massabesic.
"We have Deering on Saturday, hopefully we can win," Rand said. "Then we have Massabesic. I don't know much about them. Being at home will help. We have a good, solid team. Once we get a win it will be big for confidence and we'll go from there."
Cheverus hosts North Yarmouth Academy Saturday afternoon. The Stags then welcome rival Portland Tuesday.
"We have a lot of potential," Willard said. "I love this team. It's the best team I've ever been on. We have to work together and work hard."
"Like last year, we want to keep improving each game and give new players confidence and take care of the details," Chamberlain said. "That's what we're focusing on. Hopefully, we can carry the momentum of today forward."

sure ronald reagen george dubya bush bill clinton its all about attitude and knowing your audience
Yes If the country wants change. Of and by him/herself no, unless you ignore the constitution
yes if the president is republican and so is congress or is republican and congress is weak and full of democrats

if a president is democrat apparently not , not even when they have a majority in congress ,then they need a supermajority in representatives

and even then they need to control the senate

so thatd be a noooooooooooooo........god the left are useless everywhere theyve abandoned all principles of the welfare state ,redistribution and fair taxation

theyve been captured by the rich since 1990s; just like the right in the 1970s and 1980s
Not in four years.
the leader is one who guides self, listens well, communicates well, identifies problems and provides solution to impact people in large.

as you and me dont surge ahead and try to create impacts, we rely on someone who does.

if all believe in a person, change comes in.
absolutely yes. The person's experience, thoughts and feelings create momentum for change. After 50 plus years of having social security, the mitt guy want to do away with it cause it cost money to take care of the elderly and retirees. Even Mitt Rommey said on the news "I do not care about the elderly" One of a thousand examples of downgrading America.
No...but for the average person, it really is just a dictatorship...
Doesn't the new president come into office with an entirely new staff?
Yes, that is true and yes, that is true.

|Shaq vs. Nate Robinson, again

Dear Shaq and KG,
Please don't kill Nate Robinson. He could be useful this season.

I guess this is just Nate being Nate. Nate Robinson continues to keep Celtics practices loose, posting on his Twitter account this video of him dunking on Shaquille O'Neal. He also gave us footage of him walking in Shaq's shoes and a Kendrick Perkins/Shaq dance-off. I don't know about you, but Perk looks pretty nimble here. Also, Paul Pierce posted a video of Nate trying to guard Delonte West in Shaq's shoes.
|Celtics: Irish Coffee

Wake up with the Celtics and your daily dose of Irish Coffee '¦
It's becoming fairly clear that Nate Robinson enjoys pranking his teammates, especially Shaquille O'Neal. This time, he's seen with Paul Pierce, pouring a ton of salt into a glass of water before handing it to an unsuspecting Shaq. The Big Shamrock's reaction is priceless. It's stuff like this that builds camaraderie, and I'm all for it.
NBA rule changes?
The NBA is trying out a number of potential rule changes in the NBA Development League–with an eye towards adding them at the top level in the near future.
The biggest change? Potentially allowing defenders to knock a ball away while its on the rim, a huge change from the current goaltending rule, which forbids players from touching the ball while its in the cylinder. Just for the record, this is a terrible idea. I mean, I even dominated when we lowered the rim in our backyard and allowed goaltending. Can you imagine how good Bill Russell would've been?
The other potential rule change? Three-minute overtimes, as opposed to the current five-minute system. Another awful idea. I have trouble doing anything in three minutes, let alone playing the most important part of a basketball game. Is there anyone out there thinking, "You know what, I'd watch this overtime if it were three minutes. Five minutes? That's much too long for me."
Salary cap issues hit hard
Wizards and Capitals owner Ted Leonsis was fined $100,000 by the NBA for saying that he expects the league to adopt a hard salary cap, much like the one currently in place in the NHL.
"In a salary cap era–and soon a hard salary cap in the NBA like it's in the NHL–if everyone can pay the same amount to the same amount of players, its the small nuanced differences that matter," Leonsis told a crowd of local business owners at George Mason University.
If the currently salary cap of $56 million were a hard cap, and teams could not exceed that limit under a number of nuanced exceptions, the Celtics would have to cut almost $23 million in salary. Essentially, they'd only be able to pay their starting five. In case you haven't figured it out, this would be bad news for the C's.
LeBron James: Big Baby
Ran across this picture yesterday and found it pretty funny. Nice job by this kid …
NBA Jam redux
Failed marketing and harsh criticism have led EA Sports to postpone the release of the new version of the 1993 2-on-2 NBA Jam video game, NBA Elite 11, indefinitely. The move could cost the company as much as $60 million. That's more than the current NBA salary cap, for the math-challenged out there.
In case you missed it, EA Sports released the rosters for the game, and the Celtics are one of only nine teams that include four current players–Pierce,Kevin Garnett, Rajon Rondo and Ray Allen–plus two legends (Larry Bird and Kevin McHale). ESPN.com's Marc Stein surmised that you may be able to unlock Shaq as a hidden player. In the original '93 version, if you'll recall, the C's roster featured Reggie Lewis and McHale.
Let me ask you this: How does EA Sports screw up a 2-on-2 basketball game? The original version was probably the greatest video basketball game ever (other than maybe Double Dribble), so why not just update the graphics and players, and move on. That would be too simple.

Interesting read from Fan House on former Celtics guard Nate Archibald, who hopes to become the only guy on the NBA's 50 Greatest Players list to earn a Ph.D. in education. A member of Boston's 1981 championship team, Tiny entered the NBA in 1970 without a college degree, earning his bachelor's degree at UTEP during summers off and getting his master's at night from Fordham.
"It might not be a big deal to some people, but to me, getting the Ph.D. will be my greatest accomplishment," said Archibald in the piece. "I'm no Einstein, that's for sure, and I'm not smarter than anyone else, but maybe I've been more persistent. And I understand the value of education."
I don't know about you, but I'm shocked to learn that most NBA players don't have a Ph.D. Are we sure that Ron Artest isn't putting diplomas on his walls?
NBA Jersey Sales
For the third straight season, Kobe Bryant tops the NBA's list of highest-selling jerseys, but the Celtics placed three players in the league's top 15: 3. Kevin Garnett; 8. Paul Pierce; and 11. Nate Robinson. As a team, the Celtics rank No. 2 behind the Lakers in jersey sales. Semih Erden and Von Wafer are yet to crack the top 15.
NBA 2K11 Player Ratings
The NBA 2K11 video game released its player ratings for each team's projected starting five. The Celtics have the third-highest average rating (80.2) in the game, behind the Heat and Lakers (tied at 82.2).
Rajon Rondo (87) is Boston's highest-rated player and the league's fourth-ranked point guard (behind Dwyane Wade-97, Chris Paul-95 and Deron Williams-92). No surprise there. Everywhere else? That's a different question.
Pierce (83) is the sixth-rated player at his position (behind Andre Iguadola and Gerald Wallace?). Garnett ranks eighth among power forwards (behind David Lee and Josh Smith?). Ray Allen is the 12th-ranked shooting guard (behind OJ Mayo, Stephen Jackson and Vince Carter?). And Kendrick Perkins (72 when healthy) is ranked 16th among centers (behind Greg Oden, Marc Gasol, Ben Wallace and Andrea Bargnani?).
Celtics Scratch Ticket
The Celtics haven't been in the NBA lottery since 2007, but they released a scratch ticket called "Celtics Cash." Apparently, there's more than $20 million dollars in prizes, so the good news for fans is that combined they'll make less than Garnett ($21.2 million) this season!
NBA's New Uniforms
The NBA unveiled new uniforms for all 30 teams. Don't worry. They're just lighter fitting, like when George Costanza introduced cotton unis to the Yankees. The Celtics are one of three teams–along with the Bulls and Blazers–that will stick with the traditional round-neck tanktop look, as opposed to the v-neck cutoff sleeves look. They'll also be returning the tiny shorts that Nate Archibald used to wear. Just kidding.

QUINCY — If you're one of Nate Robinson's 153,448 followers on Twitter, then you know the backup Celtics guard isn't afraid to share his thoughts.
"Nate's talking? That's a news flash," Doc Rivers quipped at the team's annual golf fundraiser to support The Shamrock Foundation.
And Twitter is one of Robinson's favorite places to chirp. He's posted 79 tweets (@nate_robinson) since Monday, including what appeared to be his own telephone number followed by "text me NOW" last night.
That behavior made you wonder if Robinson was living up to his self-proclaimed nickname, Donkey, but it turns out that was a prank on one of his friends.
"That wasn't my phone number," explained Robinson, laughing. "That's my friend's number. … I don't put up my information. I just joke around with my friends. Hopefully, none of my friends put my number up."
When he first started Twitter, Robinson actually did post his personal phone number, accidentally, while attempting to send Quentin Richardson a private message.
"All of a sudden, I was like, 'Why are all of these people calling my phone?'" he said. "It was pretty funny ' but never again."
On Twitter, pretty much no topic is off limits for Robinson. He's discussed everything from relationship advice to potential tattoos to nutrition tips.
"It takes time out of your day," he said. "When you're bored, you can go on Twitter, and by the time you're done, three or four hours go by. It's fun. You keep up with the world, I guess. I think it's one of the best creations of the last two years."
So, who does Robinson follow on Twitter? Other than his teammates, opponents and a slew of football players, his three favorites are rapper Fabolous ("He's got a lot of interesting things to say"), boxer Floyd Mayweather ("he's pretty funny") and comedian Kevin Hart ("a lot of comedians are pretty funny, because it's their job").
Nate Robinson: On basketball
When he's not tweeting, Robinson finds time to play a little basketball.
After seeing limited playing time for the Celtics following last season's trade from New York, he had at least one breakout performance in each of the final three series of Boston's playoff run, including the 12-point performance in Game 4 of the finals that led to the infamous "Shrek and Donkey" press conference.
Building off that momentum, the 5-foot-9 former University of Washington star hopes to contribute to this year's team, in any way he can.
"I love the game of basketball," he said. "That's never going to change. For me to get a training camp in with the Celtics, that's only going to help me out with knowing exactly what Doc wants from me, how to play and getting in where I fit in, which is me playing with energy. I don't try to do too much. I've just got to play my game."
Nothing is set in stone for Robinson this season, especially with the re-acquisition of Delonte West. They'll be battling for playing time behind Rajon Rondo, but Rivers believes that Robinson's participation in a Celtics training camp can only help.
"It'll be important," said Rivers. "It'll help him understand what we're running better, and it'll help us understand him a little better as well. It'll be good for both of us."
Nate Robinson: On Shaq
Robinson and Shaquille O'Neal share adjacent lockers this season, and they're getting to know each other ' perhaps a little too well.
"I've been a Shaq fan since I was a little boy, so I've been teasing him about all the movies he's been in," Robinson said. "He's awesome. His locker is right next to mine, so it's kind of cool. Every day, he comes in with these Superman pajamas. I'm kinda getting tired of those already, but he's a real fun guy. He's one of those guys who I can always tell my kids, 'I played with one of the all-time greats.'"
Oddly, Shaq (@THE_REAL_SHAQ) doesn't follow Robinson on Twitter yet. Maybe it's all those digs about Shaq's movie career, like, "Yo, my locker is right next to Kazaam" …
|Paul Pierce gets high school jersey retired
|09.22.10 at 9:44 pm ET
Paul Pierce had his high school jersey retired in his hometown of Inglewood Tuesday. Pierce was a McDonald's All-American at Inglewood High before going on to star at Kansas. He's the second Celtic player to be given this honor this month as Nate Robinson also had his jersey retired at Rainier Beach in Seattle.
Pierce was asked about playing with Shaquille O'Neal, naturally, and he responded, "He's one of my all-time favorite players, and now I have a chance to play with one of the greatest players to ever play the game."
Seems like you can say that about half the roster.
Anyway, here's video of him talking to reporters after the event:
|New contract gives Robinson a new beginning
|07.22.10 at 8:40 pm ET
Nate Robinson is entering his sixth season in the NBA, but in a lot of ways, his career has a new beginning.
After more than four seasons with the Knicks, and a few months with the Celtics, Robinson is returning to Boston with a two-year deal that gives him a fresh start.
'For me, I think it will be a good start for me to just come in and start from scratch,' he said in a conference call. 'I loved my time there in Boston. The fans welcomed me with open arms, the team, coach Doc (Rivers), Danny Ainge, everybody, the whole organization, they were real good to me. I decided they're a great, winning organization, a lot of history, and I think I fit in well with the guys. So I was like, why not?'
Even though Robinson was only been traded to the Celtics in February, he is preparing for next season like a player who has been with the team for years. He immediately embraced the tradition of the organization and was struck by the Celtics relentless drive for victory.
Robinson spends his days in Seattle gyms with hometown friends including Brandon Roy, Jamal Crawford, and Aaron Brooks. They work out three times a week and play games for two. (Robinson will also throw out the first pitch at Friday's Red Sox – Mariners game in Seattle.)
For the first time in his career, he is spending his offseason preparing to contend, not just compete.
'The main thing that stood out to me was just their will to win,' he said. 'They expect to win every night. I was like, 'Wow, this is awesome.''
Robinson says he never experienced such strong team chemistry on the Knicks like he did on the Celtics. It makes his return that much sweeter knowing that Doc Rivers, the coach who expressed confidence in him when he wasn't seeing major minutes, will be back on the sidelines and the core of the team is still in tact.

Short sales have presented many challenges to Realtors such as limited experience, absence of a uniform process and application and multiple lenders. Finally on May 14, 2009, the Obama Administration announced its upcoming Foreclosure Alternatives Program which among other things establishes financial incentives for servicers, sellers, and second lien holders to encourage the completion of short-sale transactions.
Under Article 11 of the Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice of NAR it states that REALTORS® shall not undertake to provide specialized professional services concerning a type of property or service that is outside their field of competence unless they engage the assistance of one who is competent on such types of property or service, or unless the facts are fully disclosed to the client.
So I pose this question: Why then do Realtors continue taking short sale listings if they have not been trained to successfully close these transactions? We have a fiduciary duty to our clients and I think that perhaps it's time that the successful SS Realtors start giving their fellow Realtors free classes and show them how it's done. We propose to start doing this.

Collaborating and sharing experiences across borders, whether national, regional or organisational, is an effective way to access new ideas, innovative approaches and new skills. It helps participants understand what works and what does not, and why.
ESF funding is channelled to Member States and their regions to support national and regional Operational Programmes. However, in spite of this inward focus, transnational and inter-regional co-operation has long been a successful feature of ESF activities.
During the 2000-2006 programming period the EQUAL Community Initiative was the main driver for the delivery of transnational and interregional cooperation under the ESF. The regulation covering the 2007-2013 programming period established only the purpose and broader objectives of transnational cooperation (which was mandatory) and each country and region could choose the most suitable implementing arrangements. The Commission organised complementary support for promoting exchanges of experience, thematic networking and mutual learning through, in particular, the Learning Networks of the ESF Managing Authorities.
For the period 2014-2020, Article 10 of the ESF Regulation sets out that Member States shall support transnational cooperation in three different ways:
In order to provide additional support and incentives to work transnationally, the Commission has taken a number of actions.
Network of Transnational Contact Points
In 2007, a a Network of Transnational Contact Points in the Member States was established. The Transnational Contact Points are ESF managers responsible for implementing transnational aspects into the national and regional Operational Programmes in their country or region. Dealing mainly with implementation aspects, the purpose of the contact points are to ensure that effective mechanisms and procedures for making transnational cooperation work are in place, principally by putting ESF managers into contact with their peers, as well as sharing information and good practice.
Toolkit for transnational exchange and cooperation
Along with the cooperation with the contact points, the Commission has been encouraging the development and use of a web-based application, the Toolkit, designed to facilitate partner search and exchange of information on transnational cooperation. The Italian Ministry of Labour has undertaken to develop the Toolkit, with guidance from a steering group with representatives from several Member States and the Commission.
Learning Networks
Transnational 'Learning Networks' of ESF Managing Authorities and Intermediate Bodies that focus on specific thematic and governance issues are now up and running (co-financed by ESF Technical Assistance).
Ad-Hoc Group on Innovative and Transnational Cooperation
The most recent development in this field was the establishment at the end of 2009 of an ad-hoc group on innovation and transnational cooperation under the ESF Committee. The group meets two to three times a year and focuses on the policy and strategy aspects of innovation and transnationality in the ESF programmes and on developing a common understanding around transnational and innovative actions, including the regulatory framework.
Transnational and interregional actions in the operational programmes
Transnational cooperation could take many different forms. Member States have made some strategic choices on how to integrate transnational cooperation into the operational programmes. This included considering the areas/themes for transnational cooperation which could add most value in their programmes, and whether transnational cooperation should be integrated as a dedicated priority, a cross cutting theme, or a combination of these options.
Please note that the information contained in this section is provided and updated by Managing Authorities.
Opportunities for transnational work
Call for Proposals across Europe
This section contains information on potential opportunities for transnational work within ESF across Europe. Please note that the list is not exhaustive. For more detailed information please refer to the respective national and regional website.
Relevant links:
Czech Republic
United Kingdom
A calendar of calls across the European Union can be found in the transnationality.eu website.
In the context of the Commission's Action Plan to support transnational cooperation at EU level, calls for proposals were launched in 2008 and 2009 to fund networking and learning projects that would facilitate and strengthen transnational exchange and cooperation between ESF managing and implementing bodies and strategic stakeholders.

Robles-Wong v. California, No. RG-10515768
The Youth & Education Law Project of Stanford Law School's Mills Legal Clinic and the law firm of Bingham McCutchen are representing children and their families in a historic lawsuit that was filed on May 20, 2010 against the State of California. The lawsuit asks the court to declare the current education finance system unconstitutional and to require the state legislature to establish a school finance system that provides all students an equal opportunity to meet the academic goals set by the State.
The case, Robles-Wong, et al. v. State of California, was filed in the Superior Court of California in Alameda County, and is docketed as case number RG-10515768. The case is currently assigned to Judge Steven Brick, Complex Litigation Division (Dept. 17). The lawsuit was brought by a broad coalition, including more than 60 individual students and their families, nine school districts from throughout the State, the California School Boards Association (CSBA), California State PTA, and the Association of California School Administrators (ACSA).
Plaintiffs' case has been bolstered by an intervening complaint, filed by the California Teachers' Association (CTA), filed on July 15, 2010. The State filed its demurrer and motion to strike the two complaints on August 10, 2010, seeking to dismiss both lawsuits, and plaintiffs filed their response on October 8, 2010. The State's reply is due on November 16, 2010. Judge Brick will hear arguments for and against the demurrer on December 10, 2010 at 9:00am.
Specifically, the Robles-Wong lawsuit asks the court to compel the State to align its school finance system - its funding policies and mechanisms - with the educational program that the State has put in place. To do this, plaintiffs allege, the State must scrap its existing finance system; do the work to determine how much it actually costs to fund public education to meet the state's own program requirements and the needs of California's school children; and develop and implement a new finance system consistent with Constitutional requirements.

Dear Friends,
I wish to address you a welcoming note on behalf of the Embassy of Moldova in the United States of America, which I am representing as its Ambassador.
I would like to express my great satisfaction to exercise this extremely important mission in a time of important changes in the political, social, and economical life of our country, hoping that these transformations will lead to economic prosperity, political stability, and to a country governed by democratic principles. In the name of these principles I have accepted to represent the Republic of Moldova in the United States of America, and at the same time I wish to build, along with my colleagues, a credible, attractive and pertinent image of our country across the national borders.
I wish to assure you that from now I will work hard to make it possible that the key words that best describe the Embassy of Moldova in the United States of America are its openness and efficiency. I wish that, during my mission at the Embassy, we could succeed together to institutionalize an adequate setting of cooperation and solidarity among the communities that include Moldovan citizens, descendants of the territories that today represent the Republic of Moldova, as well as friends of our country who live in the United States. I believe this new image would elevate the visibility and the prestige of the carriers of the national culture, traditions, and art that is exclusive to our country.
I am firmly convinced that we will be successful in reaching this objective by joining the efforts of those who care about the present and the future of the Republic of Moldova. I want to believe that the strengthening of the Moldovan communities could create and enhance a favorable ambiance across the United States of America for those who identify themselves with the national ideas and values, with the national traditions and culture, in this way guaranteeing the comfort that is insured by the numerous other ethno-cultural communities from the US and Canada, that various times represents a second home, a spiritual community, a network of contacts useful in situations of crisis, indifferent of the state they live in at this moment.
We will make great efforts to modernize and to improve the actual system of consular services, and certainly we will not forget to improve the communication with the public. We will push forward for giving value to any innovative ideas and of good sense, which could positively reflect over the general situation of our country, revealing our gratitude for all those that wish to be part of this new setting. We will work hard to create solidarity for the national interests of our country, mobilizing all together to find adequate answers to the problems that our country and our people are confronting at this point in history and acknowledging that they deserve what the citizens of the integrated European Union had already obtained. We invite you to be with us at good and bad times, promising you that we will respond in the same way anytime you will need help, or when you are far away from your dear people and homeland.
Recently, the Embassy started off its mission with a new team and people who will represent our country in the USA and Canada. With their help we will try to create and implement numerous cultural, political and economical projects, which will lead to concrete results, common achievements in the benefit of our nation and country.
I am liable to appreciate the outcome of the technical personnel who created this new webpage for the Embassy. This institutional website will keep you systematically updated with the activities the Embassy of Moldova is offering you, the projects it is working on, the political and cultural events it will sponsor, and at the same time informing you about the news regarding our agenda in the USA, the up-to-date reality in the Republic of Moldova, along with the information of prime priority for the citizens of Moldova and of other states who are interested in our country. Moreover, in the future, the Embassy will post and other news connected with the relations of cooperation between the US and the Republic of Moldova as well as with the countries of the North and Central America where the Embassy has presented its credentials. Also on the website you can find information to deal with consular services, along with the useful links to the Moldovan authorities and other valuable information.
We kindly invite you to have a first look of the website hoping that you will find it useful for you and your friends. We would be more than happy to receive any kind of suggestions and proposals, which will fortify our certainty that we are indeed working in the service of our citizens. We are officially announcing the openness and the interest to receive any ideas of cooperation that you believe are useful and appropriate to the statute of a diplomatic delegation in this part of the world.
I wish you a lot of success, health and luck in the realization of your life projects.
Wish you all the Best,
Igor MUNTEANU
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador

Why is Bible engagement down in the digital age? Bible Gateway's Rachel Barach shares some insight.
Philippians 2:5–11
Early Christians like Polycarp were martyred because they refused to confess Caesar as lord. They knew that Jesus alone is divine and would have no one usurp His status. These Christians knew the New Testament is not merely being polite when it calls Jesus "Lord"; rather, it is teaching that Jesus is God Almighty. Idols of sex, money, power, prestige, and so on can become lords if we are not careful; therefore, let us always confess that Jesus Christ alone is Lord.

Alderman Ed Burke sponsored Chicago's resolution. He says the plans are "a fitting tribute" to Kennedy's legacy.

programs and innovative payment models. Finally, a fresh look at point-of-care and site-of-service definitions is needed to mitigate current barriers.
Nina M. Antoniotti, Ph.D., M.B.A., R.N. Marshfield Clinic
Problems in telehealth are problems in health care. We should stop thinking about them as separate. Telehealth is a strategy to deliver health care services, but it is also subject to everything else that is going on in health care. Telehealth is not different than in-person care; rather, it is just that the two people are not physically in the same place. Adopting this philosophy eliminates many of the barriers in telehealth.
In terms of payment, shared savings models are probably the way to go. Then again, instead of paying for consults under a fee-for-service model or shared savings model, maybe it would be better to have payment for the infrastructure. The development of compelling evidence for value is necessary for acceptance by business leaders. In addition, we should not move ahead with assumptions about what patients want or value. Telehealth leaders also need to look more closely at existing models to learn more about who the providers of telehealth care actually are. Although telehealth presents many barriers, many innovative projects are going forward and making people healthier. Payers are adopting telehealth and the government is a participating partner.

Technology provides the opportunity to create a new model of delivery that keeps care simple, patient centered, and with a focus on overall health instead of illness. Technology will also help make care more collaborative. For example, health care providers will not just instruct patients to lose weight, but they will be able to give patients the tools and feedback needed to help them lose weight. Focus needs to move away from just demonstrating cost savings and move toward creative demonstrations of the value of investment. Similarly, newer research models are needed to collect and analyze data in order to prove the positive outcomes that result from the use of telehealth.

Royal rolls to win after sluggish start
Meza rushes for 188 yards, 4 TDs
After a sluggish week of practice and with only six days to prepare for Calabasas High, the Royal football team got off to a slow start on Thursday night.
The Highlanders righted the ship quickly and scored seven straight touchdowns en route to a 48-14 win.
Junior running back River Meza scored on four runs in the first half and rushed for 122 of his 188 yards in the half for Royal (2-0).
"Offensively, our line was stepping up," Meza said. "They were just playing hard and fast and they were executing the plays. And the downfield blockers and lead blockers were working hard."
Sophomore quarterback Matt Sciumbato completed 6 of 6 passes in the first half for 62 yards.
"I felt really safe in the pocket," said Sciumbato, who finished 8 of 9 for 108 yards and a TD. "The line was blocking great; the wide receivers were getting open."
Calabasas (1-1) jumped out to a 7-0 lead less than four minutes into the game on a 6-yard TD pass from Lewis Goodman (127 yards passing) to Cameron Wiser at the 8:02 mark of the first quarter. The Coyotes went 71 yards in five plays.
Senior running back Anthony Wright Jr. keyed the drive with a 29-yard run to set up first-and-goal.
Royal quickly went 71 yards in five plays to tie the score. Meza's 36-yard TD run midway through the first quarter was his first of four scores.
"We didn't practice well all week and we got exactly what we deserved at the start to get behind like that," Royal coach Kevin Flye said.
Meza scored on a 29-yard run to finish a four-play, 51-yard drive and give Royal the lead for good, 14-7, early in the second quarter.
With 1:20 left in the half, Meza's 8-yard TD run upped the lead to 21-7. During the drive Brooks Bannon (three receptions for 65 yards) had two catches for 19 yards and Meza rushed for 41 yards on six carries and caught a pass.
Royal kept its momentum in the third quarter, scoring on its first two possessions to take a commanding 34-7 lead. After Meza scored on a 4-yard run at the 9:53 mark, Sciumbato hooked up with Auston Kniseley for a 10-yard TD pass with 7:36 left in the quarter.
Kniseley and Tanner Kanteman each had two receptions for the Highlanders. Lindsay Stasinis made six of seven PAT kicks.
For Calabasas, Slater Davis had five receptions for 90 yards.
In the fourth quarter, the Highlanders freshman running back Keenan Harris (12 carries for 114 yards) scored on runs of 10 yards and 32 yards.
"All the guys that we expect to play well, our two-way guys, are playing well," Flye said. "And some of our younger guys are getting a lot more time. So we're building on this. And they all got better tonight."
With school on Friday, Channel Islands next week's opponent and the Marmonte League games ahead, Flye and his young quarterback said they'll enjoy the win only briefly.
"We need to keep improving because it's going to get tougher," Flye said.
"We go by the 24-hour rule: 24 hours, feel good about it and then right on to the next week," Sciumbato said. "It feels really good. We're just going to carry in onto the next week."

Brazil throttled by Germany in semifinal, 7-1
The tears started flowing before half time, and by the end of a 7-1 shellacking in the World Cup semifinal, millions across Brazil were in dazed, damp-eyed disbelief.
The national team wasn't just defeated by a powerful German team. It was routed in front of the entire world, humiliated at its own party. Young and old, Brazilians shared in the anguish of what many were already calling a national calamity, the worst loss in its team's storied World Cup history.
A rain of seven goals by the powerful Germany team devastated the Brazilian soccer faithful who packed onto the golden sands of Copacabana beach to watch the match.
With Brazil's star striker Neymar out injured and captain Thiago Silva suspended for the match, it quickly became clear the Brazilians couldn't handle the Germans.
"The problem is psychological," said Brazil fan Fabio Fontes. "It would be normal for the team to lose against Germany, but not in this fashion."
To make matters worse, at the Fan Fest viewing area on Copacabana beach, hundreds of people stampeded out as a gang of young men carried out a mass robbery, running through crowd, inciting panic and snatching necklaces and bags along the way.
That, coupled with the crushing game, sent many fans heading home.
With Brazil tossed out of its own World Cup in such rough fashion, "you are going to have the most depressed country ever," Pablo Ramoz said.
Brazil spent billions of dollars preparing for the tournament, with expectations that home advantage could deliver Brazil a sixth title, but the high cost also ignited intense anger and protests against the World Cup, with demonstrators lamenting the costs when the nation is saddled with woeful public services.
Few thought Germany's stomping of Brazil would spark renewed mass protests — but it is certain to put a severely sour taste back into the mouths of the nation's fans.
In Sao Paulo, Brazil's biggest city, thousands gathered in the Bohemian neighborhood of Vila Madalena, the streets carpeted with yellow, green and blue — the colors of the Brazilian flag.
Fan Samir Kelvin clung to a street pole and loudly cried: "I have nothing left! I am Brazilian and humiliated I want to kill myself!"
Nearby, a woman cried out "What shame, what shame!" as a man nearby was banging his head against a bar table.
After Germany scored an early goal samba groups simply stopped drumming in apparent shock. More goals followed and silence overtook bars as fans stared sadly at TV screens.
A large group of fans gathered at a 600-unit apartment complex in Rio couldn't believe what they had witnessed.
Jorge Cardoso, an engineer, blamed the loss on the injury that sidelined Neymar and the benching of Silva for accumulating two yellow cards during the tournament.
He said simply: "It's like someone you love has died."
Klose sets scoring record
BELO HORIZONTE, Brazil — Germany poured in the goals Tuesday to hand Brazil its heaviest World Cup loss ever with an astounding 7-1 rout in the semifinals that stunned the host nation.
Miroslav Klose scored a record-setting 16th career World Cup goal in a five-goal spurt in the first half as Brazil's defense was torn apart.
The Germans reached their eighth final and will face either Argentina or the Netherlands on Sunday at the Maracana Stadium in Rio de Janeiro.
Previously, Brazil's biggest World Cup loss was 3-0 to France in the 1998 final. This matched their biggest ever margin of defeat in any competition, equaling a 6-0 loss to Uruguay in 1920 in the South American championship, the predecessor of the Copa America..
"We wanted to make the people happy ... unfortunately we couldn't," defender David Luiz said. "We apologize to all Brazilians."
It's also Brazil's first loss in a competitive match on home soil since 1975, when Peru won 3-1 at the very same Mineirao Stadium in the Copa America. Its last loss at home came in a friendly with Paraguay in 2002.

Ten victims, each with pale skin and long dark hair. All have been slashed across the throat, the same red lipstick smeared across their lips.
In the mid-1980s the Snow White Killer terrorized the streets of Nashville, Tennessee. Then suddenly the murders stopped. A letter from the killer to the police stated that his work was done.
Now four more bodies are found, marked with his fatal signature. The residents of Nashville fear a madman has returned, decades later, to finish his sick fairy tale. Homicide Lieutenant Taylor Jackson believes the killings are the work of a copycat killer who's even more terrifying. For this monster is meticulously honing his craft as he mimics famous serial murders...proving that the past is not to be forgotten.

~Reviewer: Will
She is such a great person very friendly. She make you come back for more and more Two Thumbs up Christe. You are always on my mind . :)
~Reviewer: St.Louis
No problem contacting and setting an appointment. Met at her nice hotel. She had just got out of shower. Greeted each other with a very DFK. She is a great kisser and very affectionate. Made me very comfortable from the start. Without a doubt she gave me the best experience that I ever had. Hope to see her again.
~Reviewer: Florida
The Most fun I've ever had during a trip to Florida. I knew going into it, that It was going to be a blast, but this beat all of my expectations. A very sensual massage as promised. The best and most intimate night I've ever shared with anybody. Started out as a light and passionate conversation and then into a sensual massage, and then escalated into an explosive evening that can't be described in words. The Ultimate GFE.
~Reviewer: Michigan
Always accommodating and allowed last min appointment and allowed shower usage. I love it when she visits and always leave happy and satisfied. Arrived at the specified time and was allowed to shower with her prior to our appointment and discussed what I would like and looking for and all requests were granted without hesitatation and discussed what "different" things would be tried on out next appointment. I have seen her many times and will see her as many times as possable during her visits and going to try EVERYTHING at least once. Thank you and hope to see you again soon.
~Reviewer: Rhode Island
Very easy to set up appointment. First by e-mail, then by phone. Got to her hotel, big hug for a greeting...what followed was AMAZING... She invited me to get comfortable while she relaxed on the bed. I joined her on the bed, and I enjoyed hugging her big, soft body. Wonderful kisses, the entire time, which led to me finishing during a BIG KISS. Some cuddling, hugging and talking for a few minutes, until was time to leave. I kissed her goodbye several times, promising to return, and I will. LOVED Christie. A definite recommendation.~Reviewer: Brian (27-Jul-2009)I don't have words for how hot Christie is. She was very nice and willing to please her body had curves forever. I drove 90 mi to philly to see her I would drive 5 times that far to see her next time A+++
~Reviewer: Argos
I have been seeing Christie for many years now. Every time I have fun! I just wish she was here in the Chicago area so I could see her more often. Her attitude, personality, skill and rates all make for a great time. One of my favorites!
~Reviewer: godofredus666
Christie has been coming to Chicago for quite a while and I have been seeing her almost every time she stays here. If you love BBW like I do she is absolutely unfogettable. As well as the physical beauty, her attitude and willingness to do almost anything you have in mind are just fantastic. If you know the rating I forgot it was a service then Christie easily makes that and better.
~Reviewer: Manhattan
She is the real deal ... a super-sized BBW with 54" hooters, a really sweet, innocent face and a strong desire to please. Catch her while she's in town, well worth it!
~Reviewer: Dan
Christie loves what she does and she is VERY good at it all. If you are not a BBW fan, don't bother, but if you are, she is definately a must see. I plan on seeing her everytime she comes through my neck of the woods.
~Reviewer: BigC
Christie is a sweetheart that goes out of her way to make you feel comfortable and wanting to give you the best session possible. She's definitely only for the BBW lover's, which is not everyone. If you like this kinda woman she will treat you like a king. I've seen her before and will see her again.
~Reviewer: BigFan
Met Christie last Saturday. Christie is a sweet, down-to-earth girl and will treat you right. Highly recommended! I'll be back.
~Reviewer: ChicagoFan
Christie is a lot of fun. I try to see her whenever she visits the Chicago area.
~Reviewer: WingNut
She's amazing!
~Reviewer: Redwingfan
She is wonderful- a GFE you'll never forget. Safe and clean place and an honest amount of time (no clockwatching; nobody hiding in the bathroom to take your wallet). If you miss this one you've really missed something.
~Reviewer: Ipickemup
Christie is an all around nice girl. She will treat you right you can have a conversation with her as well as have her company. I have see her over 10 times and every time I feel more at home than the next. An exxxcelent choice for the true BBW lover. You won't go wrong.
~Reviewer: Chicago
Met with her on Monday night great GFE totally into it non rushed and complete service this is my second experience with and and trust me it will not be my last great smile and killer service the donations make it definately worth a try.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
In Eixample, near the port
The Hotel Acta Atrium Palace offers a convenient location in the Eixample district, right by the Passeig de Gracia thoroughfare. This main avenue is a great place for shopping and checking out modernist landmarks, including works by famed architect Antoni Gaudi. One of Gaudi's most whimsical creations, known as Casa Batlló, is a nine-minute walk from the hotel. This distinctive building looks straight out of a fairytale and can be explored both inside and out, since it currently operates as a museum. Public transportation is also nearby, with the Passeig de Gracia Metro Station less than a five-minute walk from the property.
Eixample is home to the city's best examples of modernist architecture, including the Casa Milá building and Sagrada Família church that were both designed by Antoni Gaudí. In addition to its eccentric architecture, this district is known for a vibrant nightlife scene, with many trendy bars and clubs found here, especially in the gay section (which is popularly known as Gayxample).
The Atrium Palace has more of a classic vibe than the other Acta properties in Barcelona, as it features a posh lobby with gleaming marble floors and vaulted ceilings. However, the grandeur diminishes considerably in the rooms, which have a casual vibe and a somewhat mismatched mix of generic dark wood furnishings, red couches, and blue accent walls. The marble bathrooms are a high point -- especially the ones in the suites that offer Jacuzzi tubs and separate showers. The hotel features a pool, Jacuzzi, fitness center, and meeting rooms, though they are all on the small side. Highlights include the airy L'Atrium Bar and the arty L'Atrium Gallery.

Hear from IT leaders and industry experts in more than 100 sessions at the leading business technology event.
Director of Product Marketing, TelePresence Systems Business Unit, Cisco
Mike is the Director of Product Marketing for the TSBU, responsible for marketing and positioning the Cisco TelePresence portfolio, across the immersive, multipurpose, desktop, soft client, and infrastructure product lines. Mike recently joined Cisco through the Tandberg acquisition where he ran global product marketing and pricing for the Americas theater and helped lead the integration of the Cisco/Tandberg marketing teams. Previously, Mike was a sales and marketing consultant at McKinsey & Co. serving clients in the technology, retail, and airline industries and held corporate finance and brand management positions at Dell. Mike has an MBA with emphasis in Marketing and Strategy from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, and a B.S. in Accounting from BYU.
Just last year Polycom and Tandberg were the top two players providing primarily room-based video conferencing equipment running H.323 to enterprises, with a number of additional players in the market working hard to take away some of their market share. Suddenly we have Cisco as the largest video vendor and HP announcing a strong new line of products with their partner Vidyo. Desktop video conferencing is on the rise. Unified Communications (UC) architectures are becoming the core of the video infrastructure involving Microsoft, IBM and Avaya in the fray, and using SIP as the standard for video signaling. How will all this settle out? If I am making a video conferencing decision now that I want to sustain my company for the foreseeable future, which way should I go?
In this panel, the video conferencing vendors will discuss these key transitions and how they see the market shaping up as we move forward. Join us to see if they agree or disagree, and learn which vendor's vision best suits the requirements of your company.
