The four-hour session was divided into two public hearings. The first dealt with innovative competency-based learning programs that strive to provide individualized learning instruction.
The Education Committee is chaired by Sen. Mike Folmer, a Republican who graduated from LHS in 1974.
"The goal of these hearings is to commend those districts that I would say would be thinking outside the box," he said, "and taking our educational process from the 19th century and bringing it into the 21st century."
The first to testify was Amy Morton, executive deputy secretary for the state Department of Education. She said Gov. Tom Corbett is urging legislation to allow districts to waive some of the outdated regulations in the school code that stand in the way of innovation.
"School districts should have the opportunity to apply to the department (of education) for a waiver from certain sections of the school code and regulations if the school district can demonstrate the waiver will allow the district to improve its educational program," she said.
With its hybrid learning initiative, Lebanon High School is an example of a district offering new ways to deliver instruction. Lebanon is one of about 15 districts in the state piloting the Pennsylvania Hybrid Learning Initiative.
Superintendent Marianne Bartley was joined by high school Principal Bill Giovino in explaining to the committee about the program, also called Blended Learning because it blends traditional classroom learning with supervised online instruction.
This is the first year the district has implemented the program, which is being offered to about half of the ninth- and 10th-grade students who choose to participate. Class time is divided between online instruction, small group instruction and collaborative learning among students, with students rotating through the stations.
By dividing the class into these three stations, a teacher can provide more individualized instruction to a larger number of students, Bartley said.
Also providing testimony was Kevin Dellicker of Dellicker Strategies and Education Elements, which provides the online platform for the Hybrid Learning instruction.
"Lebanon has really been one of our flagship schools," he said. "They jumped in with both feet, and I think they are having a lot of success with it."
Teacher Jen Nordall and several students in the program were also invited to offer their opinions. Most offered glowing praise. But one, freshman Reid Dissinger, said he has trouble focusing on the online instruction.
The program is not for everybody, Bartley admitted, responding to Folmer's question if she envisioned a day hybrid learning was the only instruction offered.
"There will never be hybrid learning period," she said. "There will always be exceptions. I would think about 80 percent would be hybrid learning."
The ultimate plan is to offer the program to all high school students and other grades, but cost considerations will make that a challenge, Bartley said.
A grant from a private foundation handled the startup cost in Lebanon, which includes giving each student an iPad. The annual cost of leasing the iPads is about $150,000, Bartley said, and that amount will only escalate if other grades are added.
Representatives from other districts with innovative educational programs were invited to provide testimony. They included the superintendents of the Hempfield, Manheim Township and Penn Manor school districts in Lancaster County.
The three have formed a partnership dubbed Open Campus in which classes taught online at one school can be taken by students from the other schools. This is the first year of the program, and the benefits of sharing limited resources and avoiding duplication is clear, said Manheim Township Superintendent Gene Freeman.
"For every class I create I get two free classes," he said.
Sen. Lloyd Smucker, a Republican from Lancaster County and the committee's vice chairman, praised the program and predicted its model will spread.
"I think it will be transformative as other schools get involved," he said.
Representatives from the Salisbury School District also testified about their Teaching and Learning 2014 program, which promotes one-to-one learning online. Each of the district's 1,600 students is equipped with a MacBook and software offering creative opportunities, said Lynn Fuini-Hetten, supervisor of instructional practices.
The last to testify in the first hearing was John Mastillo, superintendent of tiny Blacklick Valley School District in Cambria County. He said he has implemented a curriculum that seeks to give students an opportunity to excel by allowing them to move at an advanced pace.
Sen. Andy Dinniman, a Democrat from Chester County and minority chairman of the Senate Education Committee, noted that, while all of these programs are breaking the outdated industrial-age model of education, Pennsylvania still evaluates districts using standardized tests.
"Your initiatives are rejecting the standardization approach, ... but yet we continue to test you and grade you on what is based on a way someone could question," he said. "Fundamentally, we are changing the approach to education, but the evaluative standards have not changed."
In the second hearing, students from the county's six public schools, Lebanon Christian Academy and Commonwealth Connections Academy, a cyber charter school, were asked their opinions about standardized testing and how teachers are evaluated.
Tuesday's hearing was the second in a series the Senate Education Committee has planned throughout the state, Folmer said.

December 1, 2015
SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea is urging all foreign companies and tourists in South Korea to evacuate because it says the rival Koreas are on the eve of a nuclear war.
Analysts see a direct attack on Seoul as extremely unlikely. The warning Tuesday from the North's Korean Asia-Pacific Peace Committee is similar to past threats that analysts call an attempt to raise anxiety in foreign capitals.
Observers say a torrent of North Korean prophesies of doom is partly meant to win Pyongyang-friendly policy changes in Seoul and Washington and to boost the image of leader Kim Jong Un.
Last week, North Korea told foreign diplomats based in Pyongyang that it will not be able to guarantee their safety as of Wednesday.

Morning with the Mangroves at The Point
The Point at low tide is rich with mangroves. This is a protected Nature Reserve and Sanctuary as these waters have dugong, crabs, sea turtles and many species of fish and molluscs, as well as the mangroves. The shoreline has changed dramatically in the last 10 years. It was just mud, but now has been washed back to rocks with periodical shore drops during rains and heavy tides, and the mangroves stand splendid like a medieval forest of mystery at Low tide.
The mangroves have been here for many years. Some are very old indeed. The roots are exposed at low tide and so are the trees, which at high tide are submerged in the water.
This was taken at High tide on the 17th December. The other mangroves were from the low tide this morning..the 18th of December 2012

We keep hearing about design thinking, but what is it and why has the term exploded? Typically a creative development process, design thinking is now a business buzzword and popular topic of conversation in the workplace, media and even across education. Although a lot of design thinking's popularity can be attributed to Apple's design guru Jony Ive and the likes, two real reasons exist as to why design thinking has blown up.

Innovation is a huge industry. Often characterized by R&D, it's a $603 billion market. According to research by Booz & Company, that's how much money 1,000 public companies spent on research and development in 2011 alone. All eyes are on innovation and how it can help a business profit, but innovation isn't what it once was and here is why.

Hi. Thanks for checking out my bio. I'm very happy to be a reporter here at 9NEWS.
I moved to Colorado from Texas in February, 2011. It was in the middle of a major snowstorm and sub-zero temps. Needless to say, I was a bit traumatized. However, the weather quickly improved and now I'm loving life in the Centennial State! The mountains always take my breath away and the people here are among the best in the country.
I've been a journalist for more than a decade and I'm proud of my accomplishments. I've won Four Regional Edward R. Murrow awards. I was honored by the Texas Association of Broadcasters with the Steve Pieringer award for outstanding valor in news coverage. I've won seven first place awards from the Texas Associated Press Broadcasters. I was honored three times by The Headliners Foundation of Texas. The morning newscast I co-anchored for 5 years in Texas won a Lone Star EMMY and was nominated three times. My reporting has also been recognized with six Lone Star EMMY nominations. Before moving to Colorado, I spent seven years on the U.S.-Mexico border as an anchor and reporter for ABC affiliate KRGV-TV in South Texas. I covered the drug cartels, border violence, and illegal immigration. We broke the story about Colorado natives David and Tiffany Hartley who came under attack on Falcon Lake.
Before moving to Texas, I was a weekend news anchor and reporter for CBS affiliate KRCG-TV in Jefferson City, Missouri. I was also a reporter for NBC affiliate KOMU-TV in Columbia, Missouri.
I'm always looking for great stories so if you have one to share, send me an email, call me, or reach out on facebook or twitter.

New Boundaries Chosen for CK Schools
Central Kitsap Schools Superintendent Greg Lynch is scheduled to announce the new boundary lines for the district's remaining 12 elementary schools during a school board meeting tonight.
After holding three public forums where parents voiced opinions about the four boundary options presented, Lynch chose two options that would move large groups of students together from each school.
The changes were labeled as option 1B for Seabeck students and 2A for Tracyton students. The Seabeck and Tracyton elementary schools are being closed as a budget-balancing measure.
The Seabeck option will move the displaced students between Green Mountain Elementary and Cougar Valley Elementary. According to approximate numbers, roughly 224 students living in northeast Seabeck and the Stavis Bay/Misery Point area will move to Cougar Valley. The remaining roughly 177 students in Seabeck will attend Green Mountain.
To offset the increase in students at Cougar Valley, 53 existing Cougar Valley students living on Frontier Place, 12 Oaks, Scirroco Circle and in the Eastwynd development, as well as 47 students at Naval Base Kitsap-Bangor will move to Clear Creek Elementary.
To prevent overcrowding at Green Mountain, roughly 77 students living on Northlake Way will move to Jackson Park.
For Tracyton students, 98 students living on Tibardis, Stampede and Firglade will move to Woodlands Elementary. Roughly 103 Tracyton students in the mid-Tracyton area, south Tracyton and along Tracyton Boulevard will move to PineCrest.
For safety measures, 56 Brownsville students living west of Waaga Way, as well as 37 Esquire Hills students living west of Waaga Way will move to Cottonwood Elementary.
The Montessori program, currently housed at Tracyton Elementary, will move to Jackson Park and the T.E.A.M Program also housed at Tracyton will move to Silver Ridge Elementary. A decision still has not been made on where the special education courses will be moved to.
Some of the criteria used by Lynch in the decision making process included trying to move large neighborhood groups of students together, minimizing the "ripple" effect among students currently housed at the school, maintaining a significant number of Bangor students at Cougar Valley and allowing space for district programs.
The next step for the district is to cut an additional $2.5 million from its annual budget by this August. The school board is expected to review budget cuts at an upcoming public meeting April 12 at the Jenne-Wright Administrative Center.

This month's statistics mark the fifth anniversary of the time back in May 1982 when INC. began its charts of the stock indexes at the same point: 0.00. Since then, the percentage change of each average has been tacked on month after month, with the progressive result shown here. The anniversary gifts of the popular averages have been lavish. But, alas, that red line in the middle represents break-even, the positive side of which our own INC. Index has not seen since October 1983.
A puzzling situation, but this has been a puzzling market, even to professionals. For whatever price-earnings ratios are worth as evaluation devices, they continue to expand beyond normal bounds. Even as the P/E ratio of the 30 Dow Jones Industrials, for example, was rapidly approaching 20 -- an extraordinarily high reading for blue chips that often defines the upper limits of a bull move -- the bulk of stock prices continued higher still. If one of the assumptions on Wall Street is correct -- that a major force behind this bull market is that there is lots of money around, and that there is no better place to put it but into equities -- how come the INC. Index can't even (so far) get back to last year's peak in July?
No concise answer offers itself, except that on the Street, as April's whipsawed silver traders well know, things can change breathtakingly fast. A few months ago, a seat on the New York Futures Exchange (NYFE) was going begging for about $100. You could have bought a couple of seats and salted them away. By this spring, the seat price had risen more than $5,000, simply because NYFE happened to offer a futures contract that suddenly attracted a flood of eager speculators. Perhaps shortly the flagging INC. group will meet up with the same bunch. There's still lots of unspent money around.

Peyton Manning's been the story of the NFL preseason thus far, thanks to a complicated neck surgery he underwent 15 weeks ago and the slow process which which he's recovered.
It became a bigger story on Monday when the Colts announced that not only has his rehab "slowed," but that Manning won't practice leading up to the Week 1 game against the Texans and will be listed as "doubtful" on the official injury report.
"During the last week, the rate of improvement in Peyton's rehabilitation process slowed," the Colts said in a statement released by the team Monday. "Over the weekend Peyton experienced soreness in his back. It was originally thought to be a normal reaction to his rehabilitation regimen. When the soreness persisted, the Colts medical team decided to initiate diagnostic tests and to consult with a number of specialists around the country who have been involved in Peyton's case from the outset. That process continues.
"As a result of the most recent development the doctors have decided that Peyton will not practice. His participation therefore, in Sunday's game versus Houston will likely be doubtful. We will update his playing status as required by NFL policy as the week goes on."
The Colts also added that "the end date" of Peyton's recovery "is unpredictable" and that "it serves no useful purpose to speculate about hypothetical outcomes."
Which is precisely what I'll do right now: it doesn't look good for Peyton playing.
|Colts Crazy Preseason
That seems insane, but, hey it's been a busy day for Indy, who also announced that new gameday consultant Jim Tressel would serve a non-suspension suspension for the first six games of the season.
And it's still entirely possible that Peyton does play in Week 1 against Houston. Here's the logic for why he won't: Indianapolis has 16 games they'll play this season, and while the first one against Houston is extremely important, it won't decide the fate of their 2011 season.
Additionally, the newest backup in town, Kerry Collins, has seen the Texans a time or two in his career. And while he's just 3-4 against Houston (which probably won't impress at least one of his wide receivers) he has completed 53.8 percent of his passes for 1,550 yards in seven games while throwing for six touchdowns and nine interceptions.
Those aren't Peyton Manning numbers, of course, but they're also not Curtis Painter numbers either.

Rick Gosselin's top Super Bowl moments; where do Cowboys rank?
Photo: AP
1. David Tyree's catch:
The biggest play in one of the biggest upsets in Super Bowl history. The Giants trailed the perfect Patriots 14-10 and found themselves in a third-and-5 from their own 44 with 75 seconds remaining. Eli Manning barely escaped a sack attempt by Richard Seymour, scrambling to keep the play alive, then launched a 32-yard pass to his fifth receiver who was being covered by a Pro Bowl safety. Tyree and Rodney Harrison both contested the jump ball _ with Tyree making a one-handed grab with the ball pinned to his helmet. Four plays later, the Giants were Super Bowl champs.

1AM Gallery's street art app debuts
I keep my iPhone slow with all the street art shots I forever shoot and store with it. Where will these photos go, this endless documentation of my surrounds? Sure, every once in awhile they'll pour out into a best-of compilation for the paper, but most of the time they're just there, staring me in the face, daring me to trap my friends into a mandatory slideshow session. "Dude, you gotta check this one out! It's... oh, um, it's like in that one alley behind that fancy hat factory?"
But I guess 1AM Gallery was having a similar problem, because now there's an app for that.
The new, free 1AM mobile app was announced today by the street art-centric SoMa art space that has recently hosted group shows of aerosol artists focused on Legos and videogames and often offers graffiti technique classes and tours by Bay graff legend Nate.
The app is a sharing program for wall fiends. Upload photos of your favorite street art -- they'll be automatically geo-tagged, date-tagged by when you took the photo, and will await your astute commentary below (prediction: half the time this field will read "clean"). There's an easy option to share the pics via Facebook or Twitter, and you can search other's users photos by geographic closeness, and by recently uploaded photos -- though this last filter will like as not turn you onto what's being painted in Norway (rad!)
The one addition I would have liked to see was a function to tag photos with artist names so you could search to see if, say, Rye Purvis had any new works. I guess leaving it anonymous works better for the illegal art-makers though, so eff you police let's keep it anonymous.
UPDATE: 1AM founder Daniel Pan clarifies: "we are able to search by artist name through a hashtag system in comments like Instagram. If you are looking for a certain topic, or artist, or city that has been hashtagged, you can click on the magnifying glass in the top left corner of the view screen (bottom left tab). "
As of right it doesn't seem to have a ton of users on it, but that should change by the time the release party comes around next month. Check out that event for free graffiti tours conducted by Nate1, DJs Mr Murdock and Don Kainoa, and 1AM phone cover giveaways.

Gearing up for big push to help young skaters
Posted: February 21, 2013|
THE prospect, dream, and ambition of a group of people in Hatherleigh to provide a much improved skateboard area for the young people of the town has come to the fore again, and is now a great deal closer to being realised.
A grant has been allocated for this purpose by Sport England, which is encouraging communities to improve facilities in the wake of the 2012 Olympics.
But to obtain this sum of £50,000 it is essential to prove that the community is behind the scheme.
Some of the most frequent comments by residents about the recent Community Plan were related to improving the skateboard area.
The Guides, youth group, primary school, Lyndridge Care, Hatherleigh Town Council and Marland School, are all backing the project enthusiastically.
It is strongly felt that the vastly improved facility will benefit the town in many ways. Not all youngsters are attracted to ball related games such as netball, cricket and football, all of which have great support and success in the town and are provided with excellent facilities.
Skateboarding has many physical benefits for growing bodies. It doesn't need adult supervision, and attracts those youngsters who do not perhaps excel in team sports but may find great fulfilment as individuals.
The area on Island Park, with essential improvements, would prove a very valuable attraction in the town.
Skateboard enthusiasts have to travel to Okehampton, or even further afield, at present.
Those who are determined to see this change, with a splendid new skateboard area locally, have to raise a very large sum of money – £13,500 – but they are not daunted and full of plans to achieve their ambition.
Do look at the special display in the paper shop for more details and suggestions about how you can help with fund raising, for example by joining a sponsored walk to Iddesleigh in April.
If you can help in any way it would be wonderful.
You can contact Councillor Clare Tyson on e-mail clare-tyson.muir @googlemail.com – or see Nick at the paper shop with your ideas.
This scheme is very dear to the hearts of many children, parents and organisations in Hatherleigh, who would love your support.

I liked some of the parts in the Walla Walla High School bond proposal. But I am also sick and tired of being singled out as glorified renters/property owners to be the ones footing the bill for theses bonds. Every time!
With something as important as Wa-Hi improvements, all citizens of the school district, including new immigrants regardless of immigration status, should also pay for a part of any bond that improves our town or school system. And we need practical improvement not luxurious ones.
This economy and what the current regime is doing to improve it is not working. Because of Obamacare my taxes and insurance have gone up. Insurance alone has eclipsed my mortgage and associated costs with it.
I just recieved a letter that it is going to rise another $1,000 during the year. Like I said, the only fair way is all to have to pay for a piece of the pie not just glorified renters such as I.

Bars are kinda like baseball: you'd settle for 3rd base, but girls throw you curves, sliders are not uncommon, and the best work in a good change-up from time to time. Aiming to strengthen its position in the E Dallas bar race, Goodfriend has dropped a ton of new sammies & burgers designed by the Good 2 Go Taco girls, who make up for their lack of baseball experience with deliciousness.
Up top's the Cheese Please, an onion and tomato'd four-fromage number with Manchego, white cheddar, Monterrey Jack, and Emmental, a totally crazy Swiss. The above Bird Is The Word will get stuck in your head, but not your arteries thanks to grilled chicken, glazed pears, arugula, and Brie. Okay, so maybe just a tiny bit stuck.
The Bat Out Of Hell uses smashed potato-lined challah as a blanket for Sriracha-glazed meatloaf, also what happens when he passes out after combining Thai and Thanksgiving leftovers.
The Q-Bert's BBQ pulled pork & cheddar slaw will give you all the necessary energy to scale endless cube-built pyramids.
Or, go for this burger beast laden with sauerkraut, housemade Thousand Island, and fried pickle dubbed the Schnitzengreuben, which you won't be able to Von Shtupp eating.
If you prefer something dippable there's this Fez Mezze (escalivada- & goat cheese-topped hummus), or hit the brisket- & bacon-topped El Jefe burger, after which it's probably a good idea to take a walk.

I have build an Addin for code generation (C#, VS 08) for our team.
The addin creates a new menu entry if i click on a file in the solution explorer. There i can choose a destination test project where the 2 files are generated to.
For the code generation process i need informations from the selected item in the solution explorer (like Interfaces, generic types of the class declaration).
My source class looks like
public class CustomerLogic : BaseBL<T1, T2, T3>, ICustomerBL
The generated container class
public class CustomerContainer : BaseBLDummyContainer<T1, T2, T3>
The generated dummy class looks like
public class CustomerBLDummy : BaseBLDummy<T1, T2, T3, CustomerContainer>, ICustomer
How i realized it?
I created two templates (container and dummy), put placeholder to the spaces so the two template files look like
public class $Classname$ : BaseBLDummyContainer<$T1$, $T2$, $T3$>
public class $Classname$ : BaseBLDummy<$T1$, $T2$, $T3$, $TContainer$>$, TInterface$
To generate the templates i have writen some code to
- create the files
- add them to the destination project
- create methods if needed
You can see, a "lot" of work to do only to generate some code.
- Now i consider if the generation with T4 is a better solution for my situation?
- Does i have some benefits of the T4 mechanism ? (I've only see some T4 samples in combination with EF or database related generation)
- Should i be more flexible with T4?
Thanks a lot.

WSU Notebook: QB Lopina Held Out of Practice
The Washington State Cougars were missing their starting quarterback and all-time leading receiver at practice four days prior to the Apple Cup, but coach Paul Wulff seemed calmed and composed after Tuesday's practice.
Wulff had hoped quarterback Kevin Lopina would practice Tuesday, but the coach now says medical personnel "think he'll be able to go" through practice Wednesday. Lopina suffered what Wulff termed "a mild concussion" last Saturday at Arizona State.
Wulff said wide receiver Brandon Gibson also is expected to practice Wednesday. Wulff said Gibson left town to attend a funeral.
As expected, versatile Chantz Staden has been ruled out for Saturday's home game with Washington and next week's season finale at Hawaii. Staden, a junior who set a Pac-10 record with 43 kickoff returns, tore an ACL in his knee at Arizona State and surgery will be required.
Wulff said running back Logwone Mitz (shoulder) should return to the lineup Saturday. Wulff hopes several other injured players will play, including outside linebacker Myron Beck (hand), cornerback Tyrone Justin (ankle), safety Alfonso Jackson (stinger) and defensive end Andy Mattingly (ankle).
Rivalry Week
The Apple Cup may be a big deal in Washington, but most of the out-of-state players on the Cougars and Huskies knew little or nothing about the rivalry before setting foot on campus.
"I never heard about it until I got here my freshman year," said WSU linebacker Greg Trent, a senior from Keller, Texas. "They said, 'If you don't know the Huskies yet, if you don't hate 'em now, you're gonna hate 'em later.' That's what the older guys told us.
"I really realize the importance it (the Apple Cup) has on both sides of the state. How big it is, how much of a rivalry it is. People from 6 years old to 61, everyone is into the game. I really like the history."
Washington's Cameron Elisara knows plenty about Apple Cup history. Elisara, a sophomore defensive tackle out of Spokane's Ferris High School, is the son of ex-Cougars standout Matt Elisara.
"I remember my family getting all decked out in the crimson and gray and driving down to Pullman," Elisara says. "I was decked out, too."
Elisara isn't the only Apple Cup participant who must explain his past alliances with the enemy.
"Growing up, my older brother and I had some Husky pajamas," recalled Ben Woodard, Washington State's senior tight end from Cheney. "Then I made some friends, the Arnolds. I was able to come to some Cougar games with them, and I fell in love with the Cougars."
Money Raised
The Sigma Kappa sorority chapters of WSU and Washington are tying in the Apple Cup with their fund-raising efforts for Alzheimer's disease research and gerontology studies of the elderly.
The Cougars have raised more than $4,000, the Huskies about $1,500 in the friendly competition.
At WSU, $1 tickets (or 12 for $10) are being sold for a Friday raffle of autographed Cougar sports items. Apple Cup T-shirts sell for $12. They feature three ripe, crimson apples on the front and two rotting, purple-and-gold apples on the back, surrounded by worms and flies.
E-mail email@example.com to purchase T-shirts or make donations.
The UW Sigma Kappa's "Husky Pride" T-shirts already sold out. Donations are being accepted at firstname.lastname@example.com.
@SUBHEAD 15pt:Mullennix Foursome
Matt Mullennix, who received an NCAA medical hardship waiver so he could play as a sixth-year senior, may become the first Cougar to play on four Apple Cup winners.
The Cougars won in 2004, '05 and '07 with Mullennix on the roster. The defensive end missed the 2004 Apple Cup because of a knee injury.
Tickets Left
As of Tuesday afternoon, 1,500 tickets were left for the nationally televised Apple Cup. The Huskies have returned 700 tickets out of their allotment of 4,800.
The Cougars, last in the Pac-10 in average home attendance at 30,469, have yet to sell out the league's smallest stadium this year. Martin Stadium seats 35,117.
A 15-foot-high bronze cougar monument, commissioned by WSU graduate and booster Gary Schneidmiller, will be dedicated at 10 a.m. Saturday at the Martin Stadium plaza. Gov. Chris Gregoire and WSU president Elson Floyd are expected to be on hand. ... Athletic director Jim Sterk said Tuesday the credit crunch likely will postpone the scheduled January start on construction of suites and other premium seating at Martin Stadium. The Cougars have raised $5 million and need bank loans of $30 million to $35 million, Sterk said.

Sony bringing new Reader to US in August to undercut tablets
updated 09:40 am EDT, Thu July 14, 2011
Sony hints Reader upgrades for August
Sony's digital reading VP Phil Lubell revealed late Wednesday that his company will have new Readers most likely shipping in August. He was silent on additions but promised Bloomberg there would be "hardware and software improvements." The plans were underway in spite of the e-reading as the devices still cost less than tablets, according to the executive.
The company was one of the earliest to leap into e-readers in the mainstream but has slipped behind. Both the Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble Nook are now considered the leaders not just in the US but in the world, even with their limited reach outside of their home territory. Sony is now closer to the share of Kobo, Pandigital, and other successful but relatively niche e-reader makers.
Some of the blame has been pinned on high prices, which at $180 start well above the $140 or lower Kindle and Nook. At the high end of $300 for the Reader Daily Edition, Sony is also facing stiff competition from tablets, including an increasing number of iPad owners.
Sony will be addressing the high end as soon as September with its S1 and S2 tablets, both of which use Android 3 and can thus use nearly any reading app.
