Microsoft planning attack on iPad
Microsoft has started it's war against Apple's iPad, handing their reseller partners material to show their customers pointing why the iPad is not the solution they should be using for their enterprise needs. Distributed starting around December of last year, the material lists reasons why people should either move away from the iPad for enterprise needs or why they should not go towards the iPad in the first place.
Absent from the anti-iPad materials seems to be information on what Microsoft plans to utilize on their own future tablets to combat the 7.3 million iPads sold in Q1 2011. Given past demos of Windows 7 tablets, most notably the HP Slate tablet, were far from touch friendly, and Steve Ballmer keeps insisting the touch-optimized Windows Phone 7 platform is staying put, that leaves Windows 8 on the table... when it gets ARM optimized in 2 years...
Meanwhile Apple is citing an unprecedented enterprise adoption rate with over 80% of Fortune 100 companies piloting or actively deploying iPad already. Microsoft is right to be worried but are these PowerPoint slides enough or do they have to field an actual device to compete with Apple?

Microsoft planning attack on iPad
Sort of -- but there are several classes of uses and applications for which remote applications just will not cut it, because the remote UI does not translate well or the network is missing/latency is too high to make it usable. For those people, a laptop/netbook is still a far more appropriate choice.
But those numbers are shrinking, and Microsoft knows it. This is simply an attempt by marketing to slow the bleeding until their engineering can come up with a credible answer.
Microsoft is good at reaching the decision makers in the enterprise and "wowing" them with powerpoint stats (not to mention nice dinners and sporting events) Apple doesn't have this presence, they just have good products.
We are at a time when good products are winning out against old ways of thinking, but Microsoft still has a long arm... when they get a VP or C level executive to buy in, its over for the competition. This is too bad. Unfortunately for these executives their jobs will be on the line a year or so from now when Microsoft once again misses the boat.
That old adage that you never get fired for recommending Microsoft is no longer true.
As a follow-up... businesses are no longer sitting around waiting for IT to come up with solutions. This is bringing things like iPads into the enterprise faster than IT can support them. MIcrosoft doesn't have the ear of the business as much as they do IT, so in this regard they are losing.
Business executives won't be as easily fooled as IT will...
What I've seen happening is executives (and users) telling the IT staff that they had better do their job more effectively, which in many cases means supporting the Mac. Many paper MCSE types have been anti-Mac for years and have steadfastly refused to support the Mac with outdated claims of interoperability issues. Also, claiming that the marketshare was too small to bother with. Now with the iPad & iPhone having HUGE marketshares, that argument is hollow.
It's a valid microsoft point. I'm an IT prof. and we have lost half of our staff over the last year due to budget restrictions etc. Meanwhile, gobs of iphones, ipads and andriod phones are being dumped on my dept and we are being told we have to support them. Without a way of managing these devices in a central location, it's extremely hard to keep a secure and working environment. That's microsofts point, not that you shouldn't use an ipad/iphone, but CEO's need to understand that all these manual, (as in not part of the corp. domain) put a huge burden on their shrinking IT staff. Just imaging having to support double the amount of devices in your job without adding staff, and then having people get mad at you when you don't know every option on every phone/device and can't help them over the phone, meanwhile you have 10 other calls right behind that call. I guess Mac people can't understand this though since they don't have anything similar to Active Directory, or a server product or a corp email server...
Microsoft is in the unenviable position of being too large to move nimbly or quickly, and too dumb to have seen the iPad coming, even though there were probably thousands of iPhones right in their faces on the Redmond campus. Was there really no one at Microsoft who said, "If Apple ever made a big one of these, it would be trouble"? I'll bet somebody did say that, and even had a product proposal circulating, which was shot down by the "visionaries" who decide such things. Hopefully those people have since been fired, but in the meantime Microsoft must scramble to avoid being left behind. I understand why they think Windows 7 and its humongous ecosystem is their big advantage, but they can't get there in time to prevent a total loss in this space. Eventually the PTBs will give the Win Phone team permission to try to save the day. The question is whether that will happen in time to prevent defeat.
Well, Microsoft showed Apple a thing or two on the desktop, then they killed off the iPod, then they destroyed the iPhone.. so OBVIOUSLY it's time for the big boys to speak up and tell us all why Apple's latest triumph is a terrible failure. I'll bet Gartner has some data about how the other shoe is going to drop someday in the distant future when that report is forgotten.
I think its comical a company such as Microsoft is bashing on the iPad with NOTHING to offer to better users experience. I could see if they at least had something but they don't.
You have it completely, utterly, 100% backwards. If they had something better to offer, they would likely not be bashing (though Apple IMHO had a better computing platform in the mid 2000s and still based 99% of their marketing on bashing Microsoft, so obviously that is not always true).
Companies always exaggerate their own strengths and their competitors' weaknesses. That's almost a marketer's job description. They can tout the strengths of netbooks/laptops, and they sort of do that here, but half-heartedly. The tablet space may eat at laptops, but it is a separate space, and customers who want a tablet will likely remain unconvinced by netbook strengths. Because MS does not have an exact tablet analogue, they have to point out (what they regard as) weaknesses of the iPad. They have no other choice; their marketing needs to keep the laptop/mobile dam from bursting before their engineering is ready to catch their share of the flood. They ain't there yet, and they know it.
Microsoft has been trying to "do" tablets for years - They have yet to bring something that really works to the table. Windows X just doesn't work in the tablet form factor. I have had a Lenovo tablet for years and it is a POS - Mostly because of Windows. Sorry, but Microsoft just doesn't get it - Or didn't until Apple showed everyone how a tablet is supposed to look/act/feel...
Oh Microsoft.. Don't you remember.. It was a spring day in 2005. I took you to the park. I held you in my arms. You weighed a ton, took forever to boot up, needed arcane stylus input and then I couldn't even gaze into your big blue monitor while in direct sunlight. Just then, your battery started to die.
That's when I decided we should just be friends. You didn't take it as well as I had hoped. Now you're trying to make yourself hotter then my current iPad girlfriend. Just don't. It makes you look desperate.
Wow, all these apple people drinking the kool-aid and missing the point. The ipad is NOT a corp device. It can be used in the corp to do certain tasks, however, for the most part it is a stand alone product. They aren't saying don't use/buy and ipad/ipad, they are bringing up the point that they are currently difficult to manage as part of your windows domain. Remember apple fans, you need a windows domain to get your exchange business email. I get tired of apple people blaming microsoft because they don't support their every new device, without microsoft, you wouldn't even have a corp network to connect to!! Why not blame apple for not including active directory authentication into the ipad? Or create an AD plug-in so they can join the domain, and be managed through AD? Sounds like apple is more to blame here than MS.
Brian- There always has to be the one that wants to find the good in what's being bashed. You're completely and utterly alone in this one though. You don't think the iPad is a corporate device... How about Deutsche Bank? Did you miss that article? If you missed it, here's the article... http://www.tipb.com/2011/01/25/deutsche-bank-blackberry-iphone-ipad-trial/
I have a friend friends who work for Fortune 100 companies who have converted over to the iPad and they all love it and don't use it as a stand alone product!

We'll be the first to admit that Vanessa Hudgens has been going through a bit of a rough patch with her hair lately. Ever since lobbing off her trademark long locks for her role in Gimme Shelter, the former teen queen has tried many different styles to tame her self-described soccer mom 'do. But we're not so sure that these massive extensions are the best solution. She debuted the new tresses at the U.S. Open over the weekend, and it reminded us that we haven't seen The Ring in a while. What stylist did she go to!? We've seen more realistic hair on stuffed Rasta bananas. Are you diggin' the hair enhancement, or do you think she should go back to trying the shorter styles? Let us know!

In May 2015, the Ukrainian government passed four controversial laws aimed at initiating a clean break with the country's communist past. Included in the laws are instructions on removing remnants of the communist past (monuments and street names), prescriptions on how to write the country's history, as well as new measures to reconfigure the country's archives. While the defenders of the laws argue similar measures were taken in other post-socialist countries and they are necessary to win the current conflict with Russia, scholars and other groups have questioned the impact on academic freedom, as well as freedom of speech more generally in Ukraine. more

A month hardly goes by without some scandal at a North Dakota institution of higher learning appearing on the front pages of the state's newspapers. And, after the roughing-up in the last session of the Legislature, higher education can't afford any more scandals.
Misdeeds only feed the acquisitive appetite of legislators who would like to get control of higher education. To protect the integrity of the university system, the board needs to launch some initiatives to head off radical surgery.
While some suggestions for corrective action reflect overreaction, neither changing the structure of the board nor smothering institutions with excessive oversight is the answer.
As for the structure, management of institutions of higher learning by boards of seven to nine members has been the model for almost all universities and colleges. It is a proven management design.

|Robert Silverberg
|Though Robert Silverberg is mainly known for his science fiction writing--more than 60 sf novels and over 250 short stories!--he has also edited numerous anthologies, is a respected critic, and has written over 30 non-fiction titles on topics ranging from mythology to Native American burial mounds. Silverberg began writing in college, publishing his first story in 1954 while he was an undergraduate at Columbia University. He published his debut novel, REVOLT ON APLHA C, a year later, while a junior in college. In 1956, Silverberg won his first Hugo Award, as best new author, and married Barbara Brown. The couple collaborated on one story, "Deadlock" (1959), eventually separating in 1976 and divorcing in 1986. Meanwhile, the 1950s proved incredibly prolific for Silverberg. Between 1954 and 1960, he published seven novels and more than 115 short stories under his own name, not to mention hundreds of others under a variety of pseudonyms. During the 1960s, he published 15 novels and, while his short-story output went way down (to 38), he won his first Nebula for "Passengers," and a second Hugo, for "Nightwings," both in 1969. He also served as president of the Science Fiction Writers of America from 1967 to 1968. Silverberg seemed to have settled into a fairly constant pace with his writing in the 1970s but, unhappy with what he perceived as a lack of appreciation, he slowed down his writing drastically in the latter half of the decade. Nevertheless, he still managed to publish 11 novels and over 40 stories during the '70s, winning three more Nebulas--for A TIME OF CHANGES (1971), "Good News from the Vatican" (1971), and "Born With the Dead" (1974)--and began to edit the influential anthology series Alpha and New Horizons. The 1980s saw him win a number of further accolades for short stories--including "Sailing to Byzantium" (Nebula, 1985), "Gilgamesh in the Outback" (Hugo, 1987), and "Enter a Soldier. Later: Enter Another" (written in 1989, Hugo awarded in 1990)--and begin his second marriage, to Karen L. Hubley, in 1987. In 1990 he started a new anthology series, Universe, which he co-edited with Hubley. In 1995, the first film based on one of Silverberg's works appeared. Based on a 1983 short story of the same name, AMANDA AND THE ALIEN starred model Nicole Eggert and, though not a critical or commercial success, did attain a certain cult status on the late-night cable circuit. Silverberg even had a small role in the film. Silverberg continues to write fiction and nonfiction, and seems to have settled into a role as something of an elder statesman of the science fiction community, a position he clearly deserves.
|Connie Willis has won more Hugo and Nebula awards than any other writer in the field. After graduating from the University of Northern Colorado, Greeley in 1967, she wrote "true confessions" stories for magazines while teaching at elementary and junior high schools. In 1982 she turned her attention fully to writing. Her first novel, WATER WITCH, co-written with Cynthia Felice, was published in 1982. That same year, Willis won Nebula Awards for two short stories, "Fire Watch" and "A Letter to the Clearys", the first of which also won the Hugo Award the following year. Her first solo novel, LINCOLN'S DREAMS, won the prestigious John W. Campbell Award in 1987. Winning the Hugo and Nebula awards for DOOMSDAY BOOK, released in 1992, again brought her great acclaim. Since then, Willis, while continuing to write numerous short stories, has written a series of very short humorous novels, including BELLWEATHER and UNCHARTED TERRITORIES. Willis has edited several collections of award-winning short fiction, she has been the M.C. at several science fiction conferences, and her own work continues to bring her new fans and new awards. In 1998, the Colorado School of Mines' Mobile Robots Project named a newly designed robot after her, along with fellow authors Lois McMaster Bujold, and Ursula K. Le Guin.

The technology levies on school district ballots this winter are stark proof that the Legislature has failed its constitutional duty to fully fund basic education.
The 21st century is saturated with electronic technology — yet school districts must beg local voters every few years to help upgrade their computers, software and Internet infrastructure. Technology today is part of basic education, but the state treats it as a luxury.

1. On the XP side of my laptop - connects fine to my wireless network
2. My iMac - connects fine to my wireless network
3. When in Mac mode, my Macbook will connect to a network that is unsecured and nearby
4. BUT when in Mac mode, my Macbook will NOT connect to my wireless network
Last week it was fine - I had that intermittent drop out problem ages ago that somehow fixed itself but at least then it would connect and recognise my network... now all I get is 'Operation timed out'
I did a software update, nothing there to update.
The only thing different is it went in to Apple get its case replace as it developed the Macbook cracking problem and has come back and it is like this - but again, the weird thing is this is only happening on the Mac side and my iMac connects fine.
Can anyone offer any suggestion of what the issue may be?
Thanks a bunch in advance - this is driving me nutty!!

If this is the case, then you've probably just got a minor configuration issue going on. When you are running in OS-X, if you connect to the router via Ethernet cable, are you able to get to the Internet?
Here's another question for you: Can you copy the ifconfig results from OS-X, and the ipconfig /all results from XP into a reply so we can see what is happening?

New venue, same tradition
HUNTINGTON -- For the first time in its 36-year history the CSX St. Joe Invitational basketball tournament began Wednesday at a location other than recently demolished Veterans Memorial Field House.
It definitely had a different feel as everyone from tournament coordinators to players and coaches got used to the new surroundings in Big Sandy Superstore Arena.
"We're happy to get it underway at the new place," St. Joe Invitational tournament director Tom Houvouras said.
"It's a little different, but it'll be nice when we get into a flow here."
However, at the end of the day, it still remains about two main components -- basketball and school skits.
Those two elements went off unscathed during Blue Bracket action Wednesday where Charleston Catholic and Wesley Christian from Allen, Ky., earned victories to move into Friday's championship game.
Keifer Hovorka scored 16 points and Nick George added 14 points to lead Charleston Catholic to a 67-28 win over Wayne in the first game. Alex Elkins had 15 for Wayne.
Joshua Amuzu scored 21 points to lead Wesley Christian past Huntington St. Joe, 58-55, in the nightcap. Michael Mayes led the Irish with 21 points and 13 rebounds.
Wayne will meet Huntington St. Joe in Friday's consolation at 7 p.m., which will take place after the Huntington St. Joe girls take on Eastern (Meigs) at 5 p.m.
In the SJI's first 35 years the Field House served as the tournament's home, and when it was demolished in spring 2012, there was some concern whether the tournament would be able to remain in existence.
Houvouras said he would not know the exact financial numbers until after the tournament's completion, but there was an increased cost associated with the tournament moving to the Big Sandy Superstore Arena.
However, he also noted the tournament is afforded a few more amenities with the move downtown.
"The thing we'll find out here is a good number of attendees here at Big Sandy over that at the Field House because we have a little more control here over who comes in and out," Houvouras said. "They (Big Sandy) are taking care of the ticket-takers so we'll get an actual number of people here."
The court being used is from the Field House. Big Sandy Superstore Arena purchased the court when the Field House was demolished.
There were a few condensation issues in the late game because of the heat of the players on the court and the cold concrete underneath, but other than a few slips, the games went off without any trouble.
Wayne and St. Joe performed their skits in between the games.
Middle school first-round games were also played. Terrell KImbro scored 14 and Brett Christian added 10 for the Enslow boys in a 30-27 defeat of Guyan Valley. Guyan Valley's girls beat Enslow, 38-24, with Rachel Pennington scoring 17. Josslyn Almonte scored 10 for Enslow.

Lady Cavs dominate Chase
The Chase Lady Trojans outscored East Rutherford in the second and fourth quarters, but it was the first and third that mattered. The Lady Cavs held Chase to a single field goal during those frames in an 83-38 win.
"Our press was really on point tonight," said East head coach Larry Ross. "I'm really happy with our defense tonight."
Chase head coach Todd Davis was not happy.
"I just want to say that when you are up by 40 and you are still pressing, that's very disrespectful," he said. "We did the best we could and we kept playing."
East opened with three 3-pointers from Shay Dewberry while Chase had trouble bringing the ball up the court. Rachel Camp hit a 3 of her own as East led 10-0, before Chase had a clean look at the basket. Takirah McKinney hit that shot, but that was the only points the Lady Trojans would score in the quarter as East led 29-2.
Chase found more of an offensive rhythm in the second quarter against the Lady Cavs' bench. McKinney scored four quick points and Demoria Wiley hit a 3. Emily Elgin and Raven Gray each had buckets, but it was a buzzer-beating shot by Kealynn Watkins that allowed Chase to win the quarter, 16-14.
After Alisa Brooks scored the opening basket of the quarter for Chase, East started pressing again and went on a long run. They spread the scoring around in the quarter while the defense held Chase to just that one field goal and led 71-21.
The fourth quarter was more even. McKinney scored on a series of drives in the lane as did Kyra Davis. Gray hit a pair of shots for East as the Lady Cavaliers closed out the 83-38 win.
Camp scored 22 points for East and is now only 13 points shy of 3,000 for her career. McKinney led Chase with 17.

Posted April 30, 2012
Each year, two Mt. Hood Community College (MHCC) students are selected for the All-Oregon Academic Team by the Oregon Community College Association. This year's honorees are Meadow Geddes and Ryan Lindquist.
The award recognizes outstanding students for their academic achievement and commitment to service. In April, all 38 scholars were honored at a brunch in Salem and greeted by Oregon Governor John Kitzhaber at the State Capitol Galleria. They are now eligible to apply for more than $350,000 in private scholarships, as well as transfer scholarships to four-year Oregon colleges, both public and private.
Geddes has made a remarkable journey in her 31 years. As the first person in her family to progress beyond high school, she says, "My commitment to academic excellence has never wavered." That commitment was confirmed last year when she was awarded the James F. and Marion L. Miller Foundation scholarship, and continues with her four terms on the MHCC President's Honor Roll.
Geddes' decision to enroll in the Physical Therapist Assistant program at MHCC grew from positive personal experience as a patient and from her attraction to the idea of preventive healthcare. With two months to go before graduation, she already has a job lined up at a physical therapy clinic.
Geddes, who holds a bachelor's degree in English, has taught preschool and English as a Second Language (ESL). She's now a mother, teaching on a daily basis, and finds satisfaction instructing her physical therapy patients how to support their personal wellness.
Social and political issues are important to Geddes. She helped organize a Greenpeace protest to stop deforestation of the California redwoods, and was a student group leader at a Nevada nuclear test site protest. More recently, she supported the Portland Central American Solidarity Committee, and was a class representative for the Multiple Sclerosis Society of Oregon.
In 2008, Lindquist was facing some serious challenges: the loss of his long-term job, along with its health insurance, and his wife's major medical issues. They decided that his best course to a good career was higher education, specifically in business. He chose MHCC because the tuition is affordable and he heard good things about the instructors.
Both school and income have tested the hard-working couple's resourcefulness. They and their son have moved several times, including a stretch with her parents, ending up at an apartment complex that employed her as a manager and him as a handyman. As Lindquist puts it, "I now have intimate knowledge about how to fix plumbing issues."
In 2010, Lindquist was almost ready to transfer to Portland State University to finish his business degree. But his chemistry professor, Dr. Joyce Sherpa, encouraged him to change to a science major, a path he finds very satisfying. He won a Physical Science division scholarship and has been on the President's Honor Roll for four terms.
Lindquist continues to average 20 hours per week at his handyman job, as well as tutor in the MHCC Learning Success Center and volunteer for a children's science class. He's been accepted by the University of Oregon, and eventually hopes to earn a doctorate and pursue a career in medical research and development.
Geddes and Lindquist both appreciate the way that MHCC launched them into academic success. Lindquist might be speaking for both of them when he says, "I have met some very amazing instructors who believed in me and showed me that I can be and do something significant."

The Great Escape
Great Escape Meme
1. If you could escape to anywhere in the world where would it be?
I really, really want to go to Australia and dive the reef.
2. What song do you play when you are by yourself in the car?
I am mostly in the car by myself! [Lucky me] It all depends on my mood. I've been digging Black Eyed Peas lately, but also NIN fills the car quite a bit. And Rise Against.
3. If you had a night to yourself, and money was no object, what would you do?
Oh man... could I spend the night driving a McLaren F1 through Europe? That sounds nice. But I would need all other drivers off the road so I could go as fast as I wanted to.
4. What is your guilty pleasure?
Hahahaha CUPCAKES!!! I am a total addict. Oh, and the Of Love shows. I can't help myself.
5. What is the farthest place you have traveled away from your home?
Sadly enough, only Texas.
6. Last book that you couldn't put down?
I got through the last Harry Potter book in a day.
7. When you want to escape into another time, what movie do you watch?
Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure. It doesn't get much more time-travelling than that!
8. What is your favorite local escape?
I love the aquarium, and Thanksgiving Point, and any cupcake place.
9. How do you escape on a budget?
I buy a cupcake [or three] and sit in my car with the music cranked and eat it [or them] all by myself. Or, I just take a bubble bath with the door locked.
10. Best food you've ever had while on vacation.
There's a place inside Disney's California Adventure that has the most amazing french onion soup! I crave it constantly. And the Mexican food in San Antonio is divine. And the Harley Davidson BBQ place in Vegas is pretty darn good. And since we don't yet have one, I've only ever eaten In 'N' Out on vacation and I LOVE that place.

Hurricane Sandy increases cloud disaster recovery awareness
After witnessing the devastating effect Hurricane Sandy had on the private sector, decision-makers around the United States realized the importance of establishing a robust disaster recovery program. This was highlighted in a recent study by Acronis, which found that Sandy caused more than $65 billion in losses and left thousands of companies without power for weeks, preventing them from operating at even a basic level.
As any pundit in the IT industry will say, external storage is a crucial part of any disaster recovery program. For this reason, organizations across the country are beginning to migrate applications and sensitive data to cloud computing environments in the hopes of keeping mission-critical resources out of the line of fire of catastrophic events.
Cloud storage services can be an effective way to ensure crucial solutions are available at any given time, especially in the wake of an emergency, Acronis said. After all, if a firm cannot use the information in its possession, it will have trouble remaining competitive in today's business world.
"There's no question that today's world cannot function without the data we create every day," said Blaine Raddon of Acronis. "Without our data, we cannot operate - at least not in the way we are accustomed. That's why having a plan in place and knowing what technology is out there to help keep data protected and secure at all times - during a hurricane or in our everyday lives - is so vital."
A separate report by Network World highlighted how cloud services are quickly becoming more commonly incorporated into disaster recovery plans, especially as remote working trends continue to pick up speed.
If decision-makers fail to plan business continuity strategies ahead of time, they will find the ability to restore operations in the wake of an emergency is much more difficult than expected.

Sing it with me: Why-oh-why-Oh Hiii-Ohhh!
I'm up in Ohio visiting my parents, who are getting along in years. I normally come up at the end of the school year, but I was summoned by my sisters because in the past few weeks the family dynamic has sort of ... uh ... "collapsed" would be a good word.
A few weeks ago, nephew Luke (my brother John's son) wrenched his knee at a wrestling match, requiring immediate surgery for a torn meniscus, and he's on crutches and has big pain, but he's in high school -- he'll cope.
About two weeks ago, sister Karen went into the hospital to have her hip replaced, six weeks before her daughter, Caroline, was due to deliver her second child, so that she'd have time to heal and be ready to help Caroline.
Then, last week, my mother thought Dad was having a heart attack.
(Meanwhile, the woman they had finally found to cook dinner for them twice a week had come that afternoon for the first time. She is from Poland and speaks very broken English, but is supposed to be a really good cook. She insisted on making her chicken barley soup, which is evidently all the rage back in Krakow. As she's beating chicken breasts with a mallet, Dad comes in the back door with horrible pain in his right shoulder blade, which he swears is just a muscle spasm, but Mom calls 911 anyway, and then calls my sister-in-law, Liz, who lives about 200 yards away and is home nursing her crippled son. She leaves Luke and comes running over, rushing into the kitchen just as Ryan, the boy who walks Mom and Dad's dog, Rosie, arrives for their walk. Now, there are five people and a dog in the kitchen -- Mom, Dad (who's groaning with pain), Liz, Ryan and Henryka (who is still calmly thrashing the chicken) -- when the three paramedics appear.)
Dad remains insistent that it's nothing, but they say his pulse was very low and he needed to go to the emergency room. He said no. They said, sir, either you get on this stretcher voluntarily, or we'll pick you up and strap you down. He said, well, OK.
One day later, and six days -- yes, that's days, not weeks -- after Karen's surgery, Caroline went into labor and had an emergency C-section, delivering a beautiful, tiny pixie of a baby girl, who weighed 3 lb. 8 oz., and who is now in the baby ICU (please send up a prayer!) while Caroline recovers one floor below. And Grandma Karen's hip is still in rehab!
The next day, Mom arrived at the hospital where Dad was kept overnight, and he was dressed and arguing with his gastroenterologist who wanted him to have several tests, seeing as how he's lost about 38 pounds the last three months without even trying. He's never hungry, has no energy and already has an aortic aneurysm which they're watching closely. But, he said no, he was going home if he had to walk, by God! (Did you know that more men die of stubbornness than any other disease? THAT'S what you call "settled science," my friend.)
Three days later sister Susan's son, Michael came home from New York between summer college sessions. He brought his phone and its charger. That's it. No clothes, no suitcase. A buddy picked him up at the airport and brought him home, covered in a rash from the top of his head to the bottoms of his feet. He hadn't slept for two days. He was in agony from the burning and itching, and he had no idea what it was. They made him strip on the deck (fear of bedbugs - simply saying it makes me lightheaded, but this is what comes with living in NYC, children, unless you are Kelly Ripa) and threw him in the shower. It did not improve, and after two visits to the urgent care over the following 24 hours, he was admitted to the hospital in utter meltdown.
So both sisters are in the midst of crises, as well as one brother-and-sister-in-law, not to mention Mom and Dad -- and the other brother and his family live in Florida, and no offense but he's more help when he's not helping ... I'm just saying. Sooo, who you gonna call? SuperVicki!
It's 7:30 a.m. Dad's got a gastroenterology appointment downtown at 9, Mom has a cardiology appointment at 11:45, I need to go visit Mikey at 1:30, Karen wants me to take her down to see baby Madelyne for her 4 p.m. feeding -- and I have to wash my hair, duh. Then, there's grocering to do, and dinner to make for Mom and Dad. Piece of cake.
Dad and I arrive exactly on time because I'm SuperVicki. When Dad tells the doctor what's been going on -- tired all the time, extreme weight loss, no energy, never hungry, sometimes nauseous -- the doctor says he needs an endoscopy and maybe a scan of his lower stomach, as well, but hey, why didn't they do those tests when you were in the hospital? Grrrrr.

#1 New York Times Bestseller! Following his ground-breaking, critically acclaimed run on Detective Comics, writer Scott Snyder (American Vampire) alongside artist Greg Capullo (Spawn) begins a new era of The Dark Knight with the relaunch of Batman as a part of DC Comics - The New 52! After a series of brutal murders rocks Gotham City, Batman begins to realize that, perhaps, these crimes go far deeper than appearances suggest. As the Caped Crusader begins to unravel this deadly mystery, he discovers a conspiracy going back to his youth and beyond to the origins of the city he's sworn to protect. Could the Court of Owls, once thought to be nothing more than an urban legend, be behind the crime and corruption? Or is Bruce Wayne losing his grip on sanity and falling prey to the pressures of his war on crime? Collects issues #1-7 of Batman.

I've always been more of a marvel man myself but this is very good.
By Anthony Pham 21 Mar 2014
two words... GREAT READ.
If you're new to the comic book world (like I am), and you would like to explore the BATMAN storyline than this is the book to go! (esp. since it contains issues #1-7 of the New 52 Batman line --- don't worry, once you're immersed, you'll get all this jargon).
Gotham City. AWESOME
Court of Owls. STEP UP THE AWESOME (has batman met his match ?)
Greatest part. It ends with you demanding the next book. ;)
By Tomás 23 Jul 2013
Scott Snyder´s writting combined with Capullo´s art work creates an espectacular comic book.
I dare to describe this arc as a modern "breaking of the bat" because the new villain (the court of owls) is mysterious and powerful, as much to challenge the dark knight for the city of gotham and to generate a profound conflict in batman in a mental and fisical level.
If you like good comic books you gonna like this one, even more if you like batman.
Review quote
A+. The hero's got personality (and is unafraid to release a quip as sharp as a Batarang), a horde of supervillains, gumption to spare and a whole host of high-tech gadgetry to suitably impress longtime fans and those new to the Dark Knight. "USA Today" This is one of the best comics of the week. "The New York Times" "" [Writer Scott Snyder] pulls from the oldest aspects of the Batman myth, combines it with sinister-comic elements from the series best period, and gives the whole thing terrific forward-spin by setting up an honest-to-gosh mystery for Batman to solve. "Entertainment Weekly" "" Scott Snyder, already the company's greatest asset over the last four weeks, spins a stack of plates immediately . Too often Batman comics focus heavily on the hero persona Snyder sets up equal amounts of conflict for both Wayne's public and private personas. "Time Out Chicago" A stunning debut . Snyder knows these characters, sets up an intriguing mystery, and delivers some action that Capullo realizes stunningly. This is definitely in the top rank of the revamp. "The Onion "AV Club Hits all the right notes. I enjoyed the living hell out of this. "io9" Bruce Wayne is a badass. The end. IGN, 9.5 Rating A+. Incredible tone and enough twists, turns and character appearances to keep us hooked. "UGO" There's enough here, kept at a high enough level to make it interesting and viable across media and digestible enough for even the most novice DC Universe reader . Score one for DC and score one for Snyder and Capullo in finding a new fan. Comic Book Resources"

moreSnake venom that digests human flesh. A building cleared of every living thing by a band of tiny spiders. An infant insect eating its living prey from within, saving the vital organs for last. These are among the deadly feats of natural engineering you'll witness in The Red Hourglass, prize-winning author Gordon Grice's masterful, poetic, often dryly funny exploration of predators he has encountered around his rural Oklahoma home.
Grice is a witty and intrepid guide through a world where mating ends in cannibalism, where killers possess toxins so lethal as to defy our ideas of a benevolent God, where spider remains, scattered like "the cast-off coats of untidy children," tell a quiet story of violent self-extermination. It's a world you'll recognize despite its exotic strangeness--the world in which we live. Unabashedly stepping into the mix, Grice abandons his role as objective observer with beguiling dark humor--collecting spiders and other vermin, decorating a tarantula's terrarium with dollhouse furniture, or forcing a battle between captive insects because he deems one "too stupid to live."
Kill. Eat. Mate. Die. Charting the simple brutality of the lives of these predators, Grice's starkly graceful essays guide us toward startling truths about our own predatory nature. The Red Hourglass brings us face to fanged face with the inadequacy of our distinctions between normal and abnormal, dead and alive, innocent and evil.

Lions for Lambs
Two determined students at a West Coast University, Arian (Derek Luke) and Ernest (Michael Peña), follow the inspiration of their idealistic professor, Dr. Malley (Robert Redford), and attempt to do something important with their lives.
But when the two make the bold decision to join the battle in Afghanistan, Malley is both moved and distraught. Now, as Arian and Ernest fight for survival in the field, they become the string that binds together two disparate stories on opposite sides of America. In California, an anguished Dr. Malley attempts to reach a privileged but disaffected student (Andrew Garfield) who is the very opposite of Arian and Ernest.
Meanwhile, in Washington D.C. the charismatic Presidential hopeful, Senator Jasper Irving (Tom Cruise), is about to give a bombshell story to a probing TV journalist (Meryl Streep) that may affect Arian and Ernest's fates. As arguments, memories and bullets fly, the three stories are woven ever more tightly together, revealing how each of these Americans has a profound impact on each other and the world.
Cast: Robert Redford, Tom Cruise, Meryl Streep, Michael Peña, Peter Berg, Derek Luke; Directed by: Robert Redford

Cornell University Hosts Its First Ever 80th Class Reunion
By Eyder Peralta
Talk about longevity: Cornell University will host what it says is its first-in-its-history 80th class reunion. The class graduated in 1931 and the 30 remaining members are 102 years old.
"Decades ago, the class was dubbed 'The Thirty-Wonders'," the school said in a press release. Two alumni are planning to attend the reunion today. Bill Vanneman, another '31 alumni who helped planned the reunion, unfortunately didn't make it: He died April 26.

Here comes the fallout for double-amputee Olympic track star and accused murderer Oscar Pistorius.
Sponsors all backed Pistrius after his petulant rant during the London Paralympic Games when he complained after he lost in the 200m final that an opponent's artificial legs were too long.
But this is not poor sportsmanship, Manti Te'o Catfishing, Tiger Woods-style cheating or general bad form that lose an athlete sponsors. This is straight-up murder.
So let's look at what the sponsors are doing, starting with British telecom BT being his primary haul.
"We are shocked by this terrible, tragic news. We await the outcome of the South African police investigation," a BT spokeswoman told Reuters before Pistorius was charged.
Top-tier sponsor Nike, who called him "the bullet in the chamber," might want to scrub that slogan from the books (UPDATE: The Nike ad and slogan was removed from Pistorius' official website, reports The Times).
Forbes called Nike USA early this morning, but a rep was not available for comment. Pistorius' deal with Nike is estimated at $2 million a year.
A Nike rep in London told Reuters the company was "saddened by the news, but we have no further comment to make at this stage."
Pistorius also has a sponsorship deal with Icelandic prosthetics manufacturer Ossur. Ossur CEO Jon Sigurdsson told Reuters: "I can only say that our thoughts and prayers are with Oscar and the families involved in the tragedy. It is completely premature to discuss or speculate on our business relationship with him."
Forbes called Oakley and is awaiting comment on the charges.
Pistorius was photographed wearing an Oakley hoodie sweatshirt when he was arrested, not exactly the kind of publicity the company signed up for.
Thierry Mugler told Forbes, "the Mugler brand has no comment on this case."
Meanwhile, South Africa's M-Net cable TV channel is pulling campaign ads featuring "Blade Runner" Oscar Pistorius off air with immediate effect, a company official told media outlets on Thursday.
One widely circulated photo shows a crew peeling a billboard sign down just hours after the news broke.
Pistorius has been charged with shooting dead his girlfriend at his home in Pretoria.

By Army Sgt. 1st Class Tyrone C. Marshall Jr.American Forces Press Service
WASHINGTON, Oct. 26, 2013 The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff paid tribute to the USO for its seven decades of support for America's fighting force and its families at an annual gala here last night.
Army Gen. Martin E. Dempsey lauded the organization for its unrelenting commitment to helping those in uniform.
"For more than 72 years … the USO has given us a lot to be thankful for, a lot to be hopeful for, has allowed us to recharge our batteries and refresh our commitment to the great country we serve," he said. "And whether we're in a quiet lounge someplace in an airport, or reconnecting with families at a welcome home ceremony, I'd like to, on behalf of the 2.4 million men and women in uniform and their families I represent, thank you."
Dempsey relayed a story about something that happened to him as a young man that he said illustrates the USO's commitment.
"Second lieutenant Marty Dempsey, in 1974, showed up in Frankfurt Airport completely lost," he explained. "I knew I was being assigned someplace in United States Army Europe, and went to the USO to ask for, really, some help so I could make my way, eventually, to Nuremberg and then north to where I was to be stationed.
"I actually mentioned that last year at this event, and I didn't know she was in the audience," Dempsey said. "I didn't even know her name actually at the time."
The chairman said this woman who had befriended him was MaryLou Austin, president and CEO of USO of Georgia.
"She came up to me after the event and said, 'Here I am,'" Dempsey said. "I was so touched by that, but more touched when she went back to Atlanta after the event and met my son coming back from Afghanistan in the Atlanta airport. You know, with commitment and continuity like that what are we worried about?"
The chairman also congratulated USO President Sloan D. Gibson, who was nominated by President Barack Obama on Sept. 10 to be the next deputy secretary of veterans affairs.
"I want to be among those who applaud, congratulate, thank and in every possible way, recognize Sloan and Margaret Gibson," he said. "It's been the honor of Deanie and I, over the last … three years in particular as the chairman, to be a part of this event."
He and his wife build their calendar around the gala every year, Dempsey said.
"And part of that is because the USO brand, under the mentorship, guidance and leadership of Sloan and Margaret, has been incredible," he added. "We're going to hate to see you change jobs, "[but] we're thrilled [you'll] still be in the enterprise of taking care of soldiers, sailors, airmen, Marines, Coast Guardsmen and their families well beyond the period of their active service."
Turning attention to the USO volunteer and service members of the year, Dempsey recalled a story written 150 years ago by American author Herman Melville – best known for "Moby Dick" – who also wrote about the Battle of Chattanooga where the chairman said Gen Ulysses S. Grant's troops' hearts outran the general's plan.
"It occurs to me that whenever I begin to worry about where we are, what we're doing and how we're going to get through it all, I remember that there are young men and women – hundreds of thousands of them out there – who can, in fact, outrun the general's plan," he said, "because in their hearts, they know what's right. And we should all be very proud of them, and very proud of these organizations that support them."
The chairman said the USO honorees "represent the absolute very best of our nation" in their service and desire to do well for others. They represent the character and commitment of their peers, he added, many of whom are in harm's way.
"They've dedicated themselves to something bigger than themselves, [so] how can we do anything less?" he asked.

COLUMBIA CITY — "Change the rage in this room." This was the goal for eight students from Columbia City, Whitko and Churubusco high schools as they came together to present "The Outrage," a dramatic presentation authored by Safehome.
Columbia City High School students watched the 20-minute play that conveyed a story of a teenager, Rachel, played by WHS senior Tiffany Schuman, faced with an aggressive boyfriend, Adam, played by CCHS junior Josh Graham.
Other cast members offered the audience statistics of teen dating violence as well as explained the difference between rape and sexual assault.
The event was spearheaded by the Whitley County Domestic Violence Task Force as an extension of Teen Dating Violence Awareness month which was recognized in February.
Not only did the presentation encourage those who are in a violent relationship to seek help, it also empowered friends, adults and parents to speak up and not tolerate the violence.

For all the praise that has greeted the Federal Communications Commission's blueprint for a wired nation, the recently released National Broadband Plan sets up an inevitable clash of telecommunications lobbying titans.
Mandated by last year's economic stimulus bill, the FCC's broadband plan sets out to solve a basic problem: The demand for wireless services and gadgets is booming, but the U.S. is short on spectrum and trails internationally in broadband use.
Much of the FCC's 360-page solution, which seeks to have 100 million households online and proposes freeing up 500 megahertz of spectrum, is noncontroversial. But even its FCC authors acknowledge that portions will trigger fights. And it's the hotly contested details that now promise to pit influential industry stakeholders in a high-stakes struggle.
The multifaceted FCC plan covers the entire telecommunications universe and has the potential to boost both competition and regulation. It's the biggest FCC undertaking since the sweeping Telecommunications Act of 1996 and will require both exhaustive federal rulemaking and congressional action. And billions of dollars is at stake.
"This is more than the broadcasters versus the wireless companies," said Andrew Jay Schwartzman, president and CEO of the Media Access Project. "Everybody has a stake in how the spectrum is allocated."
Flash points that will likely dominate upcoming lobbying battles include: the FCC's plans to free up spectrum by asking broadcasters to auction it off and share in the proceeds; to shift FCC Universal Service Fund subsidies from digital to broadband services; and to regulate the video set-top box market, to facilitate Internet access.
The spectrum auction plan has already rung alarm bells in the broadcast industry. The auctions may not prove so voluntary after all, broadcasters warn, and could stifle innovations such as mobile TV. Broadcasters argue that their "one-to-many" transmission model is highly efficient and reaches underserved consumer groups.
"If there's a threat to free and local television, it's incumbent upon us to make those concerns known to members of Congress, who obviously have an interest in that," said Dennis Wharton, executive vice president of media relations at the National Association of Broadcasters. "Broadcasters are the conduit for members of Congress getting their messages out, often."
The NAB spent $11 million on lobbying in 2009, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, and has influential allies both at the FCC and on Capitol Hill. Some have already taken aim at the National Broadband Plan's spectrum allocation proposal.
"This is not only an industry that has jobs in every single congressional district, but they also have influence on elections," said Rob Atkinson, president of the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation, a pro-technology think tank. "So it's going to be a hard fight."
But broadcasters are competing with a new generation of telecommunications players, some of whom had little or no K Street profile a decade ago. These include wireless heavy hitters such as AT&T Mobility, T-Mobile USA, and Sprint Nextel Corp. They're represented by CTIA -- The Wireless Association, which doled out $5.6 million on lobbying last year, according to CRP.
Not to mention Internet behemoths such as Google, Microsoft and IBM, which also have a stake in freeing up the spectrum. The computer and Internet industry spent nearly $120 million on lobbying last year, according to a recent CRP report, compared with $38.8 million in 1998. Last year Microsoft's lobbying expenditures totaled $6.7 million, IBM's cleared $5.4 million and Google's stood at $4 million, CRP found.

"There are a lot more players now who are certainly well funded, highly committed and see this as critical to their business interests," said Atkinson.
The push to bring broadband to rural and low-income households by reallocating the FCC's Universal Service Fund could also pit large companies such as Verizon against small, rural phone carriers. Public interest advocates will also weigh in, including such groups as the Public Interest Spectrum Coalition, which represents the Media Access Project, the New America Foundation and Public Knowledge, among others.
"Additional spectrum will soon be necessary to meet this rapidly rising demand," said Rep. Rick Boucher, D-Va., whose House Energy and Commerce communications subcommittee will hold a hearing on the FCC plan this week. "There are real questions about where that additional spectrum will come from."
The Senate Commerce Committee will also will hold an FCC hearing this week. Boucher has already drafted legislation to transition the universal service fund from telephone to broadband use and to require a government inventory of the entire spectrum. The House will act soon on both plans, he predicted.
The FCC plan will create winners and losers, sometimes within the same industry, say telecommunications experts. It will also set up an ideological struggle between free-market and public-interest advocates. So far, most of the players seem to agree that the nation needs more spectrum -- the rub is how to get it.
"The intellectual climate -- left, right and center -- is, I would argue, very, very strongly in favor of getting the spectrum into higher uses," said Atkinson. "In that sense, it should be a really interesting fight."
