Apple's bid for the number one PC vendor spot has been in the works since the success of the Apple II back in 1984 and continued success of the MacBook According to Asymco's Horace Dediu, that was the year the company enjoyed 15.8% market share unfortunately did not launch it into ever-sunny skies until Steve Jobs returned back to the company and brought us the iRevolution. And if Mr. Jobs was present to see this achievement, one would have to assume he would be thrilled.
A recent poll of 42 analysts conducted by Fortune shows that Hewlett-Packard will soon topple from its ranking as the number one PC vendor in the world and be replaced by Apple. Based on the spike in iPad sales in the "holiday quarter" last year where sales jumped up from 11.12 million in Q3 to 14 million in Q4. Tally up the sales from Apple's other PC product line of Macs (which had over 5 million units sold over the holidays), and the company exceeds 20 million units taken off their hands in the fourth quarter. When calculating market share, the NorCal company trounces HP 17.8% to 13%.

OMAHA, Neb. (Jan. 2)
- Creighton men's soccer assistant coach Johnny Torres recently earned
Midwest Region Assistant Coach of the Year honors from the National Soccer
Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) for a second consecutive season.
Torres, who helped lead the Bluejays to a 17-4-3 record and
their second consecutive appearance in a College Cup, is now a finalist for the
National Assistant Coach of the Year Award which will be announced at the NSCAA
Awards Banquet, in Indianapolis on Jan. 18.
Creighton won the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) regular-season
and tournament titles for a second straight season. Along the way the Bluejays tied
the MVC team record for the fewest goals allowed (one) in a Valley season set
by CU in 2011.
In 2012, the Bluejays advanced to the College Cup in
consecutive seasons for the first time in program history and recorded their
fifth College Cup appearance all-time (1996, 2000, 2002, 2011 and 2012). CU entered
the 2012 College Cup on a 14-match unbeaten streak before falling 1-0 to
eventual national champion Indiana in a national semifinal.
Creighton finished the season ranked among the top 20 in
four NCAA statistical categories including team goals against average (0.8 -
No. 18), shutout percentage (0.46 - No. 18), total goals (39 - No. 19) and save
percentage (0.831 - No. 20). Current MAC
Hermann Trophy finalist Jose Gomez and Andrew Ribeiro, were named NSCAA
All-America selections and CU placed six student-athletes on MVC All-Conference
Torres, an MVC and Creighton Hall of Famer, just completed
his sixth season on the Creighton bench, during which time the Bluejays have
gone 86-20-18, won five regular-season MVC titles, advanced to five NCAA
tournaments and appeared in two College Cups.

PROVIDENCE – In each of the last three years, Cumberland Rep. Karen MacBeth sponsored legislation that would require doctors to offer to show and explain fetal ultrasound images to women seeking abortions. The bills died with little media or public fanfare.
MacBeth has introduced the bill again, but this year pre-abortion ultrasounds have become a red-hot button nationwide controversy as state legislatures across the country have passed or are considering a variety of bills mandating the procedure in various forms
"There is a lot of misinformation that is out there right now," MacBeth told The Call Thursday. "It's become a media frenzy."
But she is quick to point out that her bill is different from more radical bills in other states. "We have been very clear with our legislation and the intent of our legislation every year." The intent, the Democratic lawmaker said, is to give the woman preparing to have an abortion information about the procedure she plans to undergo.
MacBeth's bill requires that the doctor who is going to perform the abortion, or someone working with him or her, perform an obstetric ultrasound; provide an explanation of the results; display the ultrasound images so the patient may view them, and provide a medical description of the ultrasound images "which shall include the dimensions of the embryo or fetus and the presence of external members and internal organs, if present and viewable." The measure would not require the patient to look at the images.
The bill calls for a civil penalty on the doctor if he or she violates any provision of it of $100,000 on the first offense and $250,000 for second and subsequent offenses.
"It is a scary time for a woman," MacBeth said, "there is a lot of emotion going on. The woman may not know to ask, she may be afraid to ask. That's all this bill is doing. It is saying to the woman, if you want to look at this, you can look at it, if you don't, you don't have to look at it and we will tell you what you are looking at.
"This has ramifications for a woman that are life-long," she said
Paula Hodges, director of public policy and advocacy at Planned Parenthood of Southern New England, said MacBeth's bill is "an unnecessary political mandate. The concept that a state legislature would feel the need to require a physician who has been trained for years to know the medically based standard of care and to insist that they have to review any type of test and be told specifically what they need to tell a patient, regardless of whether or not the patient requests it, is an overreach. That is not the standard of care for any other place in health care unless we are dealing with abortion care."
Hodges said the penalties included in the bill are "a mechanism of intimidation" of the physician to "try to detract the physician from offering these services in the first place."
One thing that is frequently overlooked, or left unsaid, in the national coverage of the sonogram debate, is that doctors routinely perform sonograms before proceeding with an abortion.
Hodges acknowledged that ultrasounds "are an integral part of abortion care."
Dr. Pablo Rodriguez, one of the most prominent doctors in Rhode Island in abortion and family planning matters with a practice in Pawtucket, agreed, saying Thursday, "Already, providers do ultrasound procedures or evaluations on all patients before they undergo an abortion in order to have a safe procedure and know exactly what the best method to use is.
"All this bill does is turn the ultrasound into a torture machine," Rodriguez added. "You have to start turning the machine around and start describing every little part of the screen, which is hard to begin with and would serve no purpose other than to scare woman and make them change their minds. The result is to get the gestational age (of the fetus), that's why we do the ultrasound. It's not to be identifying parts of the fetus.
"For the most part, under 10 weeks, it is difficult," he added, "you have to have a knowledge of embryology and anatomy to even comprehend what you are seeing. To pretend that we can give women a course on ultrasound images in the 10 minutes it takes to do an ultrasound, it serves no purpose. It is an intrusion in the patient-physician relationship."
Barth Bracy, executive director of Rhode Island Right to Life, said Wednesday, "The abortionists are already doing the ultrasounds, so it's not a matter of forcing them to do the ultrasounds. When you go into the doctor for anything, the doctors fall all over themselves to try to explain to you everything about the procedure. For knee surgery, they show you a model of the knee for goodness' sake, and they show you the x-ray: Here's the problem, here's what we are going to do, etc. Why shouldn't abortionists not be held to the same standard of informed consent?
Bracy contends that doctors are doing the pre-abortion ultrasounds, but not showing them to the patients. "There seems to be significant evidence showing that a lot of women, when they see the ultrasounds, choose not to have an abortion. If you are earning your money by selling abortions and you know that showing ultrasounds cuts down on the number of abortions, maybe they've got a conflict of interest."
How many unwanted babies or children has karen adopted in her lifetime? We should all be thankful for all the unwanted children she and her family has supported through foster care.

Helping a friend
Art vs. cancer in Londonderry
LONDONDERRY - A local artist is lending her talents to help a longtime friend wage his battle against cancer.
For the month of April, the works of Londonderry artist Deborah Curtin are on display and up for auction at Coffeeberries café.
Those stopping by for a quick cup of joe can place the their bids on a variety of Curtin's works, ranging from detailed color pencil renderings to vivid photographs of cityscapes to delicate watercolor paintings.
Curtin said she's known Londonderry resident Brian Winer for many years - her oldest daughter graduated from Londonderry High School with him in 2004.
Winer, an executive chef at Crave Brasserie and Wine Bar in Amesbury, Mass., has been battling state IV metastatic melanoma of the brain and lung since early last June.
It's been an uphill battle for Winer, 26, who is unable to work or drive as he undergoes treatments. To make matters worse, he has no health insurance.
"I knew I had to do something to help," Curtin said on Wednesday. "This was something I could do."
During a recent chat with Coffeeberries owner Christine Adie, Curtin learned that Brian's mother had once worked for the popular coffee shop,
Last year, Adie expanded her business to include a large seating area and both agreed it was the perfect spot to showcase Curtin's art for a noble cause.
Winer, who now walks with a cane, said he's feeling pretty good these days but his struggles aren't yet over.
Last fall he began pinpoint radiation treatments on his brain to target several tumors along with IV infusion treatments of a potent yet extremely expensive cancer drug.
His family members said the cost of just four of the IV treatments totaled nearly half a million dollars, and some of the side effects were brutal.
In early February, Winer found himself in the emergency room at Massachusetts General Hospital when he was unable to walk and his left arm was weakened.
It was then Winer learned that one of his existing tumors had hemorrhaged and another tumor had emerged on his brain.
The good news, however, was that a lung tumor and some of this smaller brain tumors had shrunk.
"I feel fantastic right now," Winer said on Wednesday. "But just five weeks ago, I thought I was dying. Things were looking pretty grim."
The side effects of his medication - including a painful skin rash - seems to be subsiding, though Winer must now wear plenty of sunscreen before venturing outdoors.
"I smell like the beach all the time," he said with a grin. "It's been a really crazy year."
Next month, Winer will return to his oncologists for a checkup. He's due for a body scan in July and he's hoping for more good news.
In the meantime, Winer said he's keeping a positive attitude and on days when he's feeling good, he loves whipping up a pot of homemade soup for his friends and family members.
"I'm thinking ahead right now, and I'm working on a new menu for the restaurant," he said.
Those wishing to bid on Curtin's artwork are encouraged to stop by Coffeeberries, located at in the Apple Tree Mall at 4 Orchard Drive in Londonderry, during normal business hours.
The café is open Mondays through Fridays from 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m., Saturdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Sundays from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

FALLS CHURCH, Va. (WUSA) - Justice for the family of a murdered Falls Church college student two and a half years after she was stabbed to death. Vanessa Pham was just 19 years old, and tonight police say her killer is finally behind bars.
Debra Alfarone reported from where the aspiring fashion designer was last seen alive.
It was June 2010 when the beautiful and talented 19-year-old was last spotted in the Fairfax County Shopping Plaza around 3 p.m. And for two-and-a-half years, there's been much speculation about the 40 seconds when Vanessa Pham's car lingered at this exit before she was found stabbed to death a half mile away.
Police say they had nothing until this week, when they got a lucky break.
Beautiful. Talented. An only child. Aspiring fashion designer. A freshman in college. And taken senselessly, and suddenly. That is Vanessa Pham.
For family and friends, it's been a nightmare. Two and a half years later, police say they found Vanessa Pham's killer.
James A Morris, acting Fairfax County Police chief, said at a Thursday evening press conference, "Earlier this week though analysis of forensic evidence we were able to identify Julio Garcia as a suspect in the June 27th 2010 homicide of Vanessa Pham."
This break came out of the blue, just this week. Police won't say yet what that make-or-break forensic evidence is. "I can not, that's a specific evidentiary aspect of the case," said Morris, who declined to discuss a possible motive for the killing.
Morris says police picked up Julio Blanco Garcia at a Vienna construction site where he was working. The 27-year-old is now behind bars, charged with Pham's murder.
Surveillance video captured Pham in her white Toyota, driving through the Plaza around 3 p.m.. She apparently lingers in her white Toyota at the exit a touch too long.
Thirty-four minutes later, she's found dead, her car in a ditch. Cops say she was stabbed to death.
So, was Garcia in the car?
"I believe those are the topics detectives are discussing now with Mr. Garcia," Morris said. "We're trying to put the scene back together and that will be part of the case."
For two and a half years, the community has never forgotten; although friends and family now have closure, nothing can bring back this life, stolen for what reason we don't know yet.
"For me, with pleasure I'm able to bring closure to this investigation," Morris said.
Fairfax County police say Garcia was not a suspect back when they started this investigation in 2010. Some type of forensic evidence brought about the end to this murder mystery.

Carbon County's planning board met Tuesday and, while the agenda was relatively short, members discussed one item that could be important to local residents, particularly people living in outlying areas where gas well sites are being constructed.
The agenda item involved he discussion and possible approval of a conditional use permit for three wells in the Circle K Ranch area for Conoco/Phillips Petroleum.
Legal counsel, Nick Sampinos and Jean Semborski of Phillips presented the matter to the county planning panel.
"There are already other wells in the area and, of course, the company is willing to put buildings over these new ones to keep the sound down," indicated Sampinos. "In terms of proximity to homes, the wells are 1328 feet, 750 feet and 730 feet respectively."
"The company is willing to put up the people who live nearby in a local motel during the drilling of the wells if the noise of that operation is too great," added the legal representative.
Sampinos pointed out that 73 mineral rights owners in the area in question will benefit from the drilling of the wells.
"And access is largely provided by existing well field roads and ones the company will construct. There is only one place where the company must cross a county road," explained the attorney.
The planning board members discussed the usual conditions that the company must adhere to, including dust control, repairing any county roads that might be damaged, etc.
The county has always worked with the rule that the noise level should not measure more than 55 decibels at 1,800 feet away from the well. That is the reason gas companies have constructed buildings over some pumps at sites close to Westwood and other places.
But the planning board questioned whether the matter should be re-examined.
"I think we need to re-evaluate the noise levels and distance on this," said board member Lynna Topolovec. "I don't like the standard we have been using. In the past, the wells were well away from residences most of the time. But now with more and more of them coming closer to homes, I think we need to use more common sense."
Board chairman Richard Tatton pointed out that, on the table in the middle of the members, was a decibel monitor that the director of planning Dave Levanger had supplied.
Levanger realized the issue might come up at the meeting and there had been prior questions raised regarding what a decibel reading meant.
"I have been watching the levels in the room and our voices have been running about 40 to 45 decibels," he said.
Decibel or dB is used to compare sound intensities. For instance, according to the QPB Encyclopedia of Science, the threshold of hearing is 0 dB, while quiet conversation ranges between 20 and 50 dB.
In the more extreme end, the sound of heavy traffic on a street ranges in the 90 dB range and a jet aircraft taking off registers 110 to 140 when it takes off.
All the readings are within a few feet of the origin of the sound.
Topolovec cited a study conducted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency showing how the various decibel levels affect sleep and what percentage of time certain levels disturb the sleep of individuals.
"I think we just need to be aware of where these levels are at in comparison to our standards and what noise the wells are producing," stated Topolovec. "We have rules for other industries and I don't see that these wells are any different than they are."
But several people in attendance at the county planning board meeting disputed the estimate that the noise from the wells would come close to the 55 decibels at 1,800 feet.
In fact, it was pointed out that the existing rule was enacted based on the compressor station built near Gordon Creek. The compressor station emits significantly more noise than a well.
Readings documented on a well near Hiawatha Springs showed the noise level was 76.6 decibels at the site, explained Levanger. The unit that was not covered with a building.
A reading taken 700 to 900 feet away from the well head near Hiawatha Springs registered at 40 decibels or about the level of the ambient noise in the area.
The ambient level in question included the background noise in the area, including the wind, Utah Highway 10 traffic and sounds from high flying aircraft, etc.
Carbon Commissioner Mike Milovich, who represents county government on the planning board, suggested the possibility that the company could insulate the buildings with sound muffling material if a problem should arise.
One of the representatives in the audience from Phillips said the suggestion could be an option.
However, Sampinos indicated that was not pertinent to what is presently in place.
"The county already has an ordinance and that is what should be followed," stated the attorney.
But Topolovec said the county ordinance on other industries was basically no noise at all and reconsidering the gase well situation would not be unreasonable.
Following the discussion, a motion was made to grant the permits, with an addendum specifying that Phillips would insulate the buildings covering the well heads if noise became a problem for residents.
Before a final vote could be taken on the motion, local resident Jim Karpowitz asked to be heard by the county planning panel.
"With these approved, there will be seven wells surrounding that area," noted Karpowitz. "The noise levels are getting louder. In fact, during the summer at night, we have to get up and close the windows because we can't sleep. But I am just as concerned that this is a major change in the direction of the county and its residential areas. Is this what we want, subdivisions surrounded by gas wells?"
Milovich indicated that Karpowitz' comment was the first time he had heard the complaint about noise in the area, while Topolovec pointed out that there needed to be a way to fix the problem.
However, Phillips did not install the drilling units and does not operate many of the gas wells in question.
"He entitled to his input," pointed out Sampinos, referring to Karpowitz' statements. "But this is a different issue. The issue at hand are these wells, which we stated we would take care of should there be a noise problem."
The planning board members voted to send the conditional use permit to the county commission for approval, contingent upon the addition of several addendums, including an item concerning mitigating the noise from the units.
"When the county commission meets to approve these permits, I and probably some other people will be there to talk about the situation," stated Karpowitz.

Walnettos Walnut Caramels (28 oz. Bag) 16 16
Excellent caramels The flavor is soft, but remain in your mouth, they are just I remember, from my childhood. April 5, 2013
Memories Taking a bite of Walnettos transformed me back to when I was a little boy. My mom and dad took me to movies and they would always buy Walnettos for me. Just as good now as then! March 27, 2013
Makes me feel young again Bought these when I was a kid.(65-70yrs. ago) Didn't have money often so when I did I bought these. The reason was they came in a box with a single row of 8 or so . Made you think you were getting more than just 1 candy bar. Still love them. March 14, 2013
Back to our childhood!! Walnettos are available at Vermont Country Store. They are just as good as I remember them as a child. Why don't we have them in every store anymore? Order some. You won't be sorry! February 18, 2013
Walnettos from my past During my high school years Walnettos were a staple in my snack food diet. Glad to see them back and just as good as I remember. Thanks for making these treats available again. How about Chockletto's? They were great too!!! February 12, 2013
Sharing family history My mother sent me these for christmas. Her story goes like this...When she was a child in the 1930's her grandmother would give a few Walnettos to herself and her 2 sisters. They were very poor and they would savor each piece. She had not seen them in years and was wondering if was the same candy. Unfortunatly, Mom lives 5 hours from me and sad to say I destroyed these tasty morsels before I saw her again so for her birthday I sent Mom her very own bag. Turns out...these Walnettos were exactly the same and brought back many memories of her childhood. Guess what she's getting for Mother's day. Thank you Vermont Country Store for a memorable moment in time I got to share with MOM January 29, 2013
Delicious found these after not having any for years, & it was taste heaven! Soft & chewy with bits of walnuts in chocolate carmel! By far my favorite candy of all time. My daughter also loves them. January 23, 2013
Very....delicious! I had been looking for walnettos in different stores for a while now. So glad to know that you still sell them! I have shared them with family and friends. I want to order some more, in the tin. January 11, 2013
What Our Customers Are Saying about Our Walnettos Walnut Caramels (28 oz. Bag) …
"First tried these canidies as a freshman in high school ('62) and purchased them at the school concession nearly every day. Could not believe I found them online at The Vermont Country Store. Since then, I purchase them several times a year, particularly for my sons-in-laws' birthdays and Christmas. Whole family loves them, so sometimes have to stash them away for safe keeping." - Linda Keathley, Houston, TX

The father of a boy who broke both legs when he struck a frozen hay bale while sledding at Thompson Park has filed suit against the city of Watertown over the incident.
Dwayne J. Rumfelt, 130 Francis St., filed state Supreme Court action Friday at the Jefferson County clerks office on behalf of his son, Jorlan N., who was 6 years old when he suffered the injuries Dec. 29.
According to court documents, the city, which owns the park, was negligent by placing hay bales at the bottom of the popular sledding hill. The bales were supposed to serve as a cushion to prevent sledders from hitting a stone wall or trees, but the suit claims that when moisture inside the bales froze, they became concrete-like barriers.
Jorlan, a first-grader at the time, violently collided with one of the bales, according to the suit, and suffered two broken femurs, requiring surgery. In addition to the childs pain and suffering, the suit claims the accident caused the family to incur unspecified medical expenses.
It is claimed that the bales, once frozen, became an instrument of harm and that the city was negligent in putting an artificial or man-made barrier in the sledding area, creating an unreasonable and foreseeable danger to users of the hill. The suit alleges that the city had a duty to maintain the sledding area in a good and safe condition.
The suit does not specify an amount sought in damages. The family is represented by Syracuse attorney Edward J. Smith.
After the city learned that Jorlan and another youth had been injured while sledding, it removed the hay bales and replaced them with mesh ski fencing.

Well although this has not been one of the best unlocked phones ever released nor has it been much in demand from the consumers but carriers T-Mobile has decided to cut the price of the Garminphone to $129.99. This phone which runs on the Android OS is really not very unique in terms of features other than the corner to corner navigation system that it provides but then again most of the new Android phones have its own similar navigation mechanism. Probably just to give it a slight benefit of doubt, this handset does provide a slight edge over the services of the Google Navigator Beta.
Although the carrier T-Mobile are not saying this aloud, but it does seem like a bit of a last ditch attempt at making this phone sell as they have also declared a buy one get one free offer along with the myTouch 3G Slide and HD2 if one is seriously looking for a family plan option. However in terms of what it has to offer, then I am afraid that it is pretty meager. The Garminphone has got nothing different than any other Android device and does not stand a chance in comparison to the other high end devices like the Droid X and the iPhone 4 Unlocked handset. In fact, the main feature on which the Garminphone wants to sell is present in great numbers not only in other Android phones, as we have said, but also in a number of variants on the iPhone.
So if you have however been seriously looking at the Garminphone as an option that you might just try out, then we say that this is a good time and you should pick it up now with so many offers which are being provided but honestly the Garminphone is not a set that you would switch carriers for. Therefore, decide wisely.

The MEC tested the Madison Recreation Complex stormwater runoff on Oct. 19, 2012. The lab, Equity Environmental Engineering, interpreted the results as follows: "The stormwater samples were collected from turf fields runoff and analyzed for lead, zinc, and poly-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). The results of the analysis did not identify concentrations of these compounds that exceeded the NJDEP criteria (Ground Water Quality Criteria and Surface Water Quality Criteria). All of the compounds were non-detect (ND) except Zinc.
Method Detection Limit (MDL) is the lowest concentration at which an analyte can be detected in a sample. Reporting Limit (RL) is the lowest concentration at which an analyte concentration can be reported with a reasonable degree of accuracy and precision. Bold MDL and RL values mean that they are greater than the NJDEP criteria. Where the MDL or RL was above the NJDEP criteria, the analytical results were non-detect and therefore, not of concern."

The Invisible Bridge (Vintage Contemporaries)by Julie Orringer
Staff Pick
The Invisible Bridge is jaw-droppingly impressive. Orringer is a hugely talented writer, able to wrangle epic themes — love and war, tragedy and redemption — and tame them with her deft, evocative prose. Her debut novel is cinematic, heart-wrenching, and utterly alive with sensory detail. I implore you: don't miss it.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Julie Orringers astonishing first novel, eagerly awaited since the publication of her heralded best-selling short-story collection, How to Breathe Underwater ("fiercely beautiful"The New York Times; "unbelievably good"Monica Ali), is a grand love story set against the backdrop of Budapest and Paris, an epic tale of three brothers whose lives are ravaged by war, and the chronicle of one familys struggle against the forces that threaten to annihilate it.
Paris, 1937. Andras Lévi, a Hungarian-Jewish architecture student, arrives from Budapest with a scholarship, a single suitcase, and a mysterious letter he has promised to deliver to C. Morgenstern on the rue de Sévigné. As he falls into a complicated relationship with the letters recipient, he becomes privy to a secret history that will alter the course of his own life. Meanwhile, as his elder brother takes up medical studies in Modena and their younger brother leaves school for the stage, Europes unfolding tragedy sends each of their lives into terrifying uncertainty. At the end of Andrass second summer in Paris, all of Europe erupts in a cataclysm of war.
From the small Hungarian town of Konyár to the grand opera houses of Budapest and Paris, from the lonely chill of Andrass room on the rue des Écoles to the deep and enduring connection he discovers on the rue de Sévigné, from the despair of Carpathian winter to an unimaginable life in forced labor camps and beyond, The Invisible Bridge tells the story of a love tested by disaster, of brothers whose bonds cannot be broken, of a family shattered and remade in historys darkest hour, and of the dangerous power of art in a time of war.
Expertly crafted, magnificently written, emotionally haunting, and impossible to put down, The Invisible Bridge resoundingly confirms Julie Orringers place as one of todays most vital and commanding young literary talents.
From the Hardcover edition.
"What begins as a jewel-box romance soon breaks open into a harrowing saga of war. Orringer, drawing upon assiduous research into Hungarian history (and her own), conveys a piercing sense of what it means to be fated by one's blood, as well as a rich understanding ot the capricious nature of survival." Vogue
"Orringer avoids bathos and has a gift for re-creating distant times and places: a Paris suffused with the scent of paprikas and the sounds of American jazz, the camraderies and cruelties of the work camps. The ticking clock of history keeps it urgent and moving forward, and the result is, against all odds, a Holocaust page-turner. Buy it." New York magazine
"A long, richly detailed debut novel from prizewinning short-story writer Orringer. . . . Her story develops without sentimentality or mawkishness, though it is full of grand emotions. Though the events of the time, especially in Hungary, are now the stuff of history books and increasingly fewer firsthand memories, Orringer writes without anachronism, and convincingly. Written with the big picture view of Doctor Zhivago or Winds of War — and likely to be one of the big books of the season." Kirkus Reviews
"A hugely ambitious undertaking, but [Orringer] has every detail under control, from the architectural currents in Europe in the 1930s to the day-to-day struggle to survive. . . . Completely absorbing . . . an astonishing achievement." Booklist (starred review)
"To bring an entire lost world — its sights, its smells, its heartaches, raptures and terrors — to vivid life between the covers of a novel is an accomplishment; to invest that world, and everyone who inhabits it, with a soul, as Julie Orringer does in The Invisible Bridge, takes something more like genius." Michael Chabon
Orringer's astonishing first novel is a grand love story and an epic tale of three brothers whose lives are torn apart by war. An unforgettable story of history and love, of marriage tested by disaster, of a Jewish family's struggle against annihilation, and of the dangerous power of art in a time of war.
Paris, 1937. Andras Lévi, a Hungarian-Jewish architecture student, arrives from Budapest with a scholarship, a single suitcase, and a mysterious letter he promised to deliver. But when he falls into a complicated relationship with the letter's recipient, he becomes privy to a secret that will alter the course of his—and his family's—history. From the small Hungarian town of Konyár to the grand opera houses of Budapest and Paris, from the despair of Carpathian winter to an unimaginable life in labor camps, The Invisible Bridge tells the story of a family shattered and remade in history's darkest hour.

Policymakers and the public view higher education achievement as central to the economic viability of both individuals and the nation. This belief further heightens their concerns about the affordability of higher education, which has seen growth in its cost to students and families outstrip the rate of inflation for decades. Given technology's impact in creating efficiencies and improving performance in other economic sectors, many see it as a critical tool for reducing, if not reversing, the rate of growth in higher education costs and thus preserving access to higher education for moderate- and low-income students.
Technology's potential to support affordability depends heavily on institutional capacity to adapt academic and administrative processes to capture the efficiencies and performance improvements technology may offer. Some argue, though, that adapting existing business models may not be enough. They stress that technology makes entirely new higher education business models possible, particularly via online learning, and that these new models are the key to a lower-cost, higher-outcomes future. Regardless of whether higher education faces evolution, revolution, or both, the ever-growing demand for and necessity of higher education will challenge institutions to use technology to reduce costs, increase access, and improve outcomes.
The following resources include information on how to keep college affordable, from government guidelines on providing prospective students transparent college costs to new higher education business models.

President Obama's Blueprint for Keeping College Affordable and Within Reach for All Americans, White House, January 2012. President Obama explains the importance of a shared responsibility by the federal government, states, and colleges and universities to work together to keep higher education affordable for Americans.

State Response
- A Gamble with Consequences: State Lottery-Funded Scholarship Programs as a Strategy for Boosting College Affordability,
American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU) Policy Brief, Septebmer 2014. This policy brief discusses the evolution of state lottery-funded scholarship programs and provides a critical look at both the benefits and drawbacks in the programs' design and outcomes. The paper reveals that, when examining these programs through the frameworks of finance, college access and affordability, and issues of politics and philosophy, many unintended and detrimental consequences may arise.
New Financial Business Models
"Technology and the Broken Higher Education Cost Model: Insights from the Delta Cost Project," EDUCAUSE Review, September/October 2012. This article illuminates the idea that unless the use of technology—whether in instruction or in the operation of the institution—is guided by an understanding of higher education costs and cost structures, its use will not fix the problem of a broken higher education cost model.
"Chapter 9: Western Governors University," Game Changers, May 2012. Western Governors University (WGU) was designed using technology to provide education that is accessible, flexible, and affordable without compromising quality. The founding governors knew that technology must take a transformational role in education in order to change the way we measure learning, expand the notion of how learning happens, and make possible learning that can take place anytime, anywhere. WGU has continued to provide affordable education at per-student tuition of approximately $6,000 for a 12-month year. Students, on average, graduate with a bachelor's degree in 30 months, compared to a 60-month average for other institutions.
"Chapter 14: University of the People," Game Changers, May 2012. A key focus of the University of the People is to serve as a model for universities and governments by encouraging an industry-wide, global drop in education prices as it models the delivery of higher education at significantly less expense with its creative infrastructure. At its core, this innovative university hopes to create positive change in worldwide higher education through its disruptive effect.
"Rethinking Higher Education Business Models," March 2012. Information technology has long been seen as a major key to meeting this challenge, but the results thus far have been disappointing. In this brief from the Center for American Progress, the authors argue that the fault is not with the technology but rather in the ways it has been deployed.
Fixing the Broken Textbook Market: How Students Respond to High Textbook Costs and Demand Alternatives, U.S. Pirg Education Fund and The Student PIRGS, January 2014. During the fall of 2013, the Student PIRGs conducted a survey of 2,039 students from more than 150 different university campuses.
"Case Study 21: Shaping the Path to Digital: The Indiana University eTexts Initiative", Game Changers, May 2012. This case study focuses on the use of digital textbooks for cheaper and better access to content. This case study describes a pilot study to full implementation at Indiana University (IU), which is now in a trial phase at five peer institutions.
"Dramatically Bringing Down the Cost of Education with OER: How Open Education Resources Unlock the Door to Free Learning," February 2012. This issue brief from the Center for American Progress and EDUCAUSE seeks to provide a substantive understanding of OER and at the same time inform the emerging public debate over their use in public education. It is important that OER be part of the broader conversation concerning spiraling education costs and the need to make education more accessible and affordable at all levels.

Microsoft Tag has a way of cropping up in some of the most interesting spaces from large, multi-national trade conventions to your neighborhood block party. Tag allows for event organizers to better connect with their audiences by adding the invaluable element of interactivity.
As anyone who has been to one will know, trade shows and conferences can be draining on attendees. In the midst of multi-hour blocks of booth browsing, aisle walking, and breakout sessions, catching and maintaining potential client interest can seem daunting. But with the engaging and motivating nature of a tool like Microsoft Tag, you are sure to not only grab someone's attention, but also keep their interest long after they head on home for the day. Tag breaks the mold by incorporating itself into the very landscape of a trade show and also lets your potential customers take your ideas and your experience with them when they leave.
A few examples of how Tag can be used to create an engaging, game-like experience for clients to take with them from an event include scavenger or clue hunts, passport-style check-ins, sweepstakes or contests, and even point accrual competition for various tempting incentives. As always, it's important to keep in mind the needs of the audience who would engage in an experience like this as well as the business objectives of the tool.
Most recently, Microsoft Tag was seen wowing the crowds at CTIA's Enterprise and Applications conference down in San Diego. As part of their "Tag it to Win It!" promotional contest, CTIA provided their conference goers with a unique way to maximize the show experience with the ease and mobility of Tag.
Rather than relying on the old fashion paper flyers and pamphlets that you would usually see at trade shows and conferences, the numerous Tags placed throughout the convention center provided people with a number of useful and invaluable tools. Among these tools that were made available was a scan that provided direct access to the CTIA Show App, another that allowed scanners to exchange contact information with their fellow attendees, a number of Tags that provided additional information from specific exhibitors, and of course the attention grabbing hook of the chance to win an Xbox 360 4GB Console with Kinect. Hard to pass up an opportunity like that, especially when it is so easy to just pull out your mobile, scan the colorful, easy to find Tag, and go about your day.
Another example of Tag in action on the conference scene is the 2011 CompTIA Breakaway conference. The non-profit IT certification CompTIA used a clever Booth Tag to generate excitement, fun and engagement. Each exhibitor booth had individual game accounts created in the BoothTag mobile web app, simultaneously giving each their own personal Tag. Attendees scanned not only exhibitor Tags but other attendee Tags as well to gain points toward some very tempting prize packages. Tag not only provided scanners with information about exhibitors, web links to documents or videos, at the scan of each Tag, attendees and exhibitors exchanged information automatically. Tag became the ultimate networking tool. Like I said, pretty clever.
The latest annual Tech Ed North America conference was made even more engaging with the help of Tag created digital content and social experiences. Attendees used their smartphones to stay connected prior to, after and during the actual event. The Tech Ed mobile site provided scanners with conference schedules, more information about Microsoft technologies, the ability to exchange info about various featured products and the event, and even allowed them to participate in an exciting scavenger hunt.
Tag also cropped up at Mexico's largest annual gathering of IT professionals, Campus Party. Attendees were sent on Quest for 40 special Tags hidden throughout the convention center. Once the week-long event came to an end, about 2,000 of the 7,000 attendees had participated in the hunt. The promotion was so popular that during the event a number of other companies approached the promotion's organizers to become sponsors.
And those are just a few examples of how Tag can create a more fun and engaging experience for the typical trade show or conference. What other ways can Tag help build engagement among attendees at events? Let us know with your comments below or on Facebook or Twitter.

By Susan HeroffEast Carbon
out to Mr. Jones is that we the people in your so called dying shanty town pay taxes, support our local businesses and we are good people. We can justify spending state taxes on a water project because we do pay taxes. Mr. Jones you may not like where I live or the people that are my community but I love and appreciate each and every one of them. You see I left Sunnyside, Utah in 1967 and have always wanted to come back and live here.
We all have the right to live where ever we choose but for you to call my beautiful community a shanty town is not appropriate. I believe that the mayors of Sunnyside and East Carbon and the Council people do represent me. I am proud to be a new/returned resident to East Carbon and would like to thank the Mayor's of Sunnyside and East Carbon and Councilman Dave Maggio for working together to try to resolve the water issue.
Remember Mr. Jones, many of us shanty town dwellers spend money in Price, Wellington, and Helper and you benefit from the taxes you collect each time we buy gas, food and other services. With the state of the world today be grateful for each of us that live in Sunnyside or East Carbon and for the help we bring to your community.
