Utah Jazz: It's almost summer for free agent Hayward
The main entrance to EnergySolutions Arena is flanked by images of Enes Kanter and Derrick Favors on the left and Trey Burke and Alec Burks on the right. In the middle, standing guard over the building's doors, is Gordon Hayward.
He is the Utah Jazz's leading scorer, one of the young team's new captains, the face of the franchise. He is also the only one of those five players without a contract beyond this season.
In a 2013-14 campaign filled with disappointment, the 24-year-old says he's pushed his summertime uncertainty to the back of his mind. But summer is coming.
"I think we all realize how close it is," Hayward says. "And that's something we're trying to keep out of our minds. We're just trying to take it game by game. We all have a lot to prove. We have a lot of improving to do. We can't look to the summer yet, but we realize how close it is."
In July, the Jazz will reopen negotiations with Hayward's agent, Mark Bartelstein, hoping to reach the agreement that eluded them last fall. And one way or another, Hayward and the Jazz will begin a new chapter.
There have been too many losses and missed jump shots. Hayward will be the first to admit that.
And the swingman from Butler, unaccustomed to both, has worn his displeasure on his sleeve at times.
"We've had a tough season and you see it on his face and his emotions," his friend and teammate Jeremy Evans said.
Before the season, Hayward was unceremoniously tasked with leading the rebuilding Jazz. But as the year opened, Hayward watched as the Jazz reached a four-year deal with his co-captain, Derrick Favors, while the Jazz declined to match Hayward's asking price, letting him become a restricted free agent in July.
What's followed has been a season of ups and downs.
The Jazz are 23-50 with nine games left to play in the season, and Hayward's field-goal and 3-point percentages are at career-low levels.
A new contract won't improve a jump shot, but his teammates know it will be a weight off his shoulders once it's done.
"That's with everybody," Evans said. "He's focusing on playing right now, but that's still back there above his head sometimes. You don't know what's going to happen. When he's done with that, he can relax and just play."
Said Jazz coach Ty Corbin, "It's huge for anybody. Young player, old player, anybody in this league. It's your livelihood."
As much as anything, this season for Hayward has been about establishing himself.
It's been a difficult task at times. He no longer has Al Jefferson in the post, demanding double teams, or Paul Millsap there to take a big shot.
Hayward's usage is up and his efficiency is down.
Still, as the season winds to a close, Hayward believes he has what it takes to be a No. 1 option a job Corbin says requires "almost an arrogance" going forward.
"You definitely have to have a swag," Hayward said. "You have to play with confidence. You have to know that you're one of the best guys on the court and play like it too. ⦠It's something that I embrace. It's a challenge, but it's something that I'm excited about."
He's shown flashes of it this season:
• He leads the Jazz in scoring, averaging 16 points a game. He's second in assists (5.2) and third in rebounds (5.3)
• Twice he's fallen an assist shy of a triple-double.
• On Jan. 7, he scored the Jazz's final 17 points to beat the Oklahoma City Thunder.
"I think he can [be a team's top player]," ex-Jazz forward Paul Millsap said. "It's up to Gordon. It's up to Gordon what he do with it. For him, he's a quiet guy. He's a facilitator. He's a playmaker. It all depends on how he feels about it and how he approaches it."
Another ex-teammate, DeMarre Carroll, called Hayward "phenomenal," but provided a different perspective on one of Utah's most indispensable players.
"If he can get on a team where he's not the first option, he's the second option or third option, he'd probably be an All-Star," Carroll said.
One thing that is certain for Hayward: he's about to get a raise.
The only question: How much?
As the ninth overall pick in the 2010 draft, Hayward will be paid $3.4 million for his work this season, the last of his rookie deal. And when free agency opens in July, it seems certain Hayward will have his share of suitors if he cannot reach a deal with the Jazz.
If he does end up signing an offer sheet with another team, Utah will have the opportunity and funds to match any offer if it sees fit.
Hayward's agent has made it clear that he was not seeking a max deal for his client last fall, though how much the Jazz might be willing to pay for Hayward's services remains unknown.
Barring an exorbitant offer from elsewhere, however, the Jazz are poised to match.
"He's someone we can see in a Utah Jazz jersey until he retires," general manager Dennis Lindsey said in October. "That's our hope. We think there's a great fit."
As the offseason approaches, Hayward is starting to pad his resume. He's knocking down more shots (47 percent overall and 35 percent from 3 in March) and he's getting to the free-throw line more often.
What it will mean in terms of dollars is still unclear.
"You can't worry about that until the summer," Hayward said. "As of right now I'm just playing basketball."
The rest will follow.

friends can be real jerks sometimes and do that kind of stuff but if they did that to me i'd say no im just holdin that for you since you told me to!!! you cant let those kinds of things bother you like that so wat if yourr crush heard that if he did and makes fun of you,you dont need that kind of person in your life!!!
by Kelly on 6/3/2007 3:02:44 PM
keep it a secret, until you find out if he likes you. but if you want to tell someone only tell a person you can trust. if you find out he likes you find things you both like. if he really likes you go for it.remember to have fun with your knew bf.

:twisted: My BF (friend who just happens to be a dude, but we'll see!) is acting kinda strange, like he has something on his mind. We're not the type of friends who get all "Are you okay???", we just try to patch things up, I mean, we've known each other since I was 4, so if I change now... I just need advice, I mean, I care about him, after all, he is my friend...HELP!!!

Jana but he is a diff color then me and my parents don't believe in it.That's why I'm scared to introduce him to them.Should I introduce him to them?Wat should I do?
My boyfriend is hispanic and Im caucasian, and it was weird at first, but my parents raised me to just see people. Tell your parents that you really like him and that his color doesnt matter to you. They need to become more forward in their thinking

Jana I like this 1 guy and his bff and they r both funny but 1 is disrespectful to girls they expect girls to do ANYTHING and the other is just funny respectful to girls but my mom and dad don't like him wat 1 is better?Cuz I like them both and I can't decide between them.
I wouldnt choose either, If the first guy is disrespectful, why would you want to be with him, and if your parents dont like the other guy, then I dont think you should go for him either. Look for someone else who is fabulous in every way

Jana,I need advise Jiae told me to figure out who is more important out of my crush or his ex my bff.But I can't decide who is more important.At church I saw him and he smiled at me the whole time he's my ex to but now were friends.And I really like him but he's my bff's ex to I wanna tell him I like him but if he tell's me he likes me back then he'll think were dating but I wanna date him but I don't wanna hurt my friends feelings.And she will say it is ok cuz she don't wanna make me turn him down cuz she will think it's her fault.Wat should I do?
If your BFF doesnt mind, then I would go for it. Its an unspoken rule that you dont date your bff's exes, but if shes ok with it then I think you should go for it

Jiae,he does live close to me but he lives like 5 mins. from me and he only told me that so he lied.But can u give me advise I don't know who is more important my friend or my crush oh my god I am so confused. :sad:
by John Cena Luvr on 5/9/2007 6:24:28 PM
Jiae,but when I talked to my friend she said she really liked him but that was the summer and we haven't talked sinse but I know her she will just say it's okay but I know she will just say that just to be nice.I really like him but I'm really cunsearned about how she'll feel if I actually date him.Wat should I do?
Well what is more important to you? Is your friend more important or this feller? I think you should ask yourself that question and when you think really hard about it, you'll know what to do. If this guys is worth hurting your friend over, then go for it. If you don't want to do that to your friend, then maybe you should look for another cutie. How about one that lives closer to you? -Hugs, Jiae

Jiae,I really like this guy he goes to my church and he told me he moved but I didn't get to ask him he said he moved really far away he told me that in the summer and at church I saw him and instead of reading the bible we were smiling at each other the whole time!And he is my ex cuz in 3rd grade we went out and I broke up with him(BIG MISTAKE)and I really wanna tell him I like him but I'm scared.And he's my bff's ex to!Wat should I do?
Hmm, well first I think you should ask your friend who was his ex, if it would be alright with her if ya dated him. Then when she gives you the green light, start chatting him up. You don't have to directly ask him out, but you could invite him along on your next outing. The more and more you guys hang out and become close, then fill him in on how you feel. -Hugs, Jiae
by John Cena Luvr on 5/9/2007 5:20:04 PM

People can be so rude! It's like when I was at the beach and I got this bad rash from wearing board shorts (I had my period and had to use a pad because I couldn't use tampons yet) so then my brothers were telling this girl about how I got a rash at the beach!! The girl is my age and she's more popular than me, so I was kind of afraid that it would get out. Thankfully, she didn't! :mrgreen:

There's a mom in my son's playgroup who always, without a doubt, shows up to class looking fresh-faced and put together. I should mention that, in addition to having a toddler like me, she also just had another baby. I, on the other hand, am often so rushed trying to convince my son to change out of his Thomas the Tank Engine pajamas and get out the door, that I sometimes throw on whatever I didn't hang up yesterday. So I've been keeping my eye on this mom and I'm pretty sure I've figured out her secret–bright, patterned, sometimes fringed, sometimes tasseled, lightweight summer scarves.
I know, I know, you've been hearing about this versatile accessory for seasons now, and every fashion magazine out there has already extolled the numerous styling abilities of the lightweight scarf, but I am here to reinforce what works, what's easy and what can take jeans and a tank where you want them to actually go.
I asked Tiffany Bainbridge, buyer and manager for Pas De Deux, one of my favorite downtown boutiques in NYC, to give me the scoop on what makes this simple accessory fresh again.
"Bold colors paired with really vibrant prints are big this season," she says. "People are ready to break away from black and kick up their wardrobes with new colors like Limón, tangerine, and cobalt blue."
Lightweight linen scarves by Rag & Bone and Isabel Marant have been hot sellers so far, and Bainbridge says to watch out for printed floral silks and brightly color blocked linen scarves by Grei and A Peace Treaty as we head into the summer months.
I guess it goes to show that sometimes mom's do know best! Click through to shop some of our favorite summer scarves.

Celebrations of Miles Davis, Vision Festival, 'Blue Monday'
Ron Scott | 6/20/2013, 12:50 p.m.
The Vision Festival is about "vision." It is avant-garde, free music; it is the creativity of musicians who follow their own boundless flight of musical freedom.
The June 12 opening will include the presentation of a Lifetime Achievement Award to the drummer Milford Graves. The free jazz pioneer will perform in various configurations including Transition TRIO with pianist D.D. Jackson and tenor saxophonist Kidd Jordan; and the NY HeART ensemble with poet Amiri Baraka, trombonist Roswell Rudd, bassist William Parker and tenor saxophonist Charles Gayle. It begins at 7 p.m.
On June 13, the festival will honor visual artist Robert Janz. Janz was part of the "Zen Generation" led by Pacific Coast Beat artists. His art has been somewhat overlooked, but it has still influenced generations of artists all over the world.
The evening will also feature the Roscoe Mitchell Trio with bassist Henry Grimes, pianist Connie Crothers and Mitchell on reeds. This is a dynamic trio that rarely plays in New York City. The show starts at 7 p.m., and Mitchell will perform at 10 p.m.
In 1965, Mitchell was one of the first members of the nonprofit organization Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians along with pianist Jodie Christian, drummer Steve McCall and composer Phil Cohran.
He later formed one of the most important avant-garde groups in jazz history, the Art Ensemble of Chicago (1967-71).
On June 15, Reggie Workman will perform, featuring pianist Marilyn Crispell, tenor saxophonist Odean Pope, tablas player Tapan Modak and drummer Pheeroan akLaff. The legendary bassist Workman and his ensemble will perform at 10:45 p.m.
June 16 will close with an array of great music and events, including Hamiet Bluiett with his Bluiett Bio-Electric Ensemble and a panel discussion at 2 p.m. called "Decolonizing the Music" with panelists Baraka, William Parker, Juma Sultan, Darius Jones, Paul Miller (aka DJ Spooky), Hetty Fox and moderated by Basir McHawi.
Festival passes are $140 online, and daily admission is $30 per day, $20 for students and seniors. For a complete listing and more information, go to artsforart.org or call 212-254-5420.
On June 18-19, the On Site Opera & Harlem Opera Theater will present the jazz opera "Blue Monday" at the Cotton Club (626 W. 125th St.). "Blue Monday," written by composer George Gershwin, takes a stroll through the 1920s and makes a stop in a Harlem jazz club, where a love triangle goes wrong.
The cast features Alyson Cambridge, Chase Taylor, Lawrence Craig, Clayton Mathews and Alvin Crawford. The accompaniment will include members of the Harlem Chamber Players and the Cotton Club All Stars.
Each evening, the doors will open at 7 p.m. with an hour of cocktails and dancing before the opera at 8 p.m. The dance floor will be open and cocktails will flow as a prelude to Gershwin's jazz-infused murder romance.
"Blue Monday" will be conducted by Gregory Hopkins (Harlem Opera Theater) and directed by Eric Einhorn (On Site Opera) with choreography by Tony Award winner George Faison and costumes by Candida K. Nichols. For more information, visit www.osopera.org or call 917-243-8340.

Whether you are a marathon runner or a weekend warrior, wearing the right type running clothes can make a huge difference. Running clothes include, running shorts, running shirt or jacket, running hat for protection from the sun's heat, running bandana to keep the sweat away from your eyes, as well as a good pair of running sunglasses. Running is a great for your health, and it can help you stay younger and fitter. Having the right type of running gear can be crucial to your performance. There are many factors to consider when choosing your running clothes. These factors include comfort, summer wear, and winter wear.
First of all before you buy your running clothes, you should try them. Go to your local sports store and try on a few pairs. Check to see if you're comfortable wearing a particular pair of running clothes. Ideally you should look for loose fitting shorts, which allow you to move more freely. Your running clothes shouldn't be too loose or too fit, either way can be uncomfortable. Basically, you should be satisfied with the overall fit.
Summer wear:
First of all don't wear cotton during the summer months. Cotton tends to retain water, which means it will hold your sweat and it can also cause some chaffing. You want to purchase running clothes that dissipate sweat. The clothing material you should be looking for during the summer months is moisture wick material. This material is excellent in getting rid of sweat and will keep you cool in hot temperatures. In addition, you can also find running socks and running hats made with moisture wick material.
Winter wear:
Just because it's winter time you think you are less likely to sweat? Not true at all. You do sweat during the winter time, and sweating is more dangerous during the winter time, because freezing temperatures freezes your sweat. Therefore, you it's crucial that all your winter running gear is made of moisture wick material, which includes your winter hat, your running shirt, and your running track pants. It's also important to wear multiple layers of clothing when running during the winter months, to stay comfortable. You should also purchase winter gloves made from moisture wick material, because you're hands and your gloves are the first thing that tends to get frost bite compared to other parts on your body.

Projection Training at InfoCommProjectors come in all shapes and sizes but how much do you really know about what's going on inside? Erica Strickland, Training Manager for the Americas at Digital Projection will be teaching some 5/27/2014 6:20 AM Eastern
Projection Training at InfoComm
May 27, 2014 10:20 AM, With Bennett Liles
Editor's note: For your convenience, this transcription of the podcast includes timestamps. If you are listening to the podcast and reading its accompanying transcription, you can use the timestamps to jump to any part of the audio podcast by simply dragging the slider on the podcast to the time indicated in the transcription. Projectors come in all shapes and sizes but how much do you really know about what's going on inside? Erica Strickland, Training Manager for the Americas at Digital Projection will be teaching some courses at InfoComm that could tell you more than you knew there was to know and she's here with a preview. That's coming up next on the SVC Podcast.
Erica, welcome to the SVC Podcast and for once I'm just calling across town here in Atlanta. You're Training Manager for the Americas at Digital Projection and that sounds like a mighty big job.
Yeah, it's pretty widespread. I've got a pretty big region.
And you're going to be conducting some tech courses at InfoComm. One of those is Understanding and Designing Warp and Blend Applications and the other, I believe, is slated to be Solid State Illumination and Projection Technology 101.
That is true. I'm teaching both of those classes. I'm teaching the 101 course three times, the Warp and Blend course twice.
I'm sure they're going to really be packed in for those because you don't often have the opportunity to talk face to face with the experts and ask whatever question comes to mind right then and there.
Yeah absolutely, and I actually prefer it when people interact. It definitely makes the class go by a little bit faster and makes things a little bit more interesting because then I actually get to hear about what people want to know about, you know? [Timestamp: 1:45]
And I'm sure that there will be plenty of questions. There are so many aspects to projection technology and so many different types in everyday operation and they're being used in so many different environments, some of them in high up-time situations. What do you see as the most common problems with projectors in high up-time environments?
Well the most problems actually occur as a result of not keeping up maintenance schedules for fans and color wheels, cleaning and replacing filters regularly. A lot of times improper ventilation can also cause a lot of problems. If you keep up with the maintenance but if you put the projector in maybe a hush box or up against a wall and you don't follow the ventilation constraints, then you can pretty much make sure that air is not circulating properly and that exhaust can collect and eventually circulate hot air back into the projector causing pretty serious overheating problems. [Timestamp: 2:31]
I've noticed that when I'm cleaning filters between semesters, the rooms that have carpeted floors seem to have by far the dirtiest filters, much more so than the hard-floor rooms. Maybe we need to talk to the HVAC guys about that.
Yeah. The carpet is probably retaining a lot more dust where the hardwood floors are probably a lot easier to clean, so it's getting up there in the filters.
And our projectors are on and off all day long so what sort of effects to you see these repeated daily heating and cooling cycles having on internal projector components over time?
Well the wearing on the mechanical components is the main thing. That would be fans and whatnot, but especially the lamps. Lamps usually do much better if they can just stay on. Every time you strike a lamp it wears on the inner components and it can really heavily contribute to the light output diminishing over time. [Timestamp: 3:20]
Running a lot of the same make and model projectors on an everyday cycle we tend to look for the same problem to occur in a number of them after I've seen a particular issue begin to start happening with one or two of them. Toward the end of the life of the lamp we start getting more muted colors and the output isn't quite the same so other than just looking at color bar displays, how is subtle color degradation detected? What kind of things do you look for?
Well it depends on the type of projector. In a single-chip projector, the colors are maintained by the color wheel. The color wheel doesn't really degrade at the same rate as, say, an LCD projector. But in a three-chip unit, color is made from a light path being separated into a prism – into red, green and blue, each on their respective DMD's – and then recombine and then come out the lens in full color. So if you think you see a color shift, in that case you're actually, like you said, seeing the light output diminish over the life of the lamp. Color degradation can be really difficult to detect and may be more so contributed to the loss of light output. If you want more of a constant color, you can run a projector in eco-mode. It's going to keep your color a lot longer or in a pass lamp, if you have a dual-lamp system, maybe you only run one lamp at a time so that you won't see that as much over time. [Timestamp: 4:35]
Projection Training at InfoComm
May 27, 2014 10:20 AM, With Bennett Liles
And how does keystone correction affect the sharpness of the projected image?
Actually keystoning is a projection purist's nightmare. Ideally you really want to be straight up to the screen and when you tilt the projector, you'll definitely see some degradation because the image is created from millions of square pixels and when you shoot straight on the pixels maintain their square shape. Any time you project at an angle, the little squares become trapezoidal and they'll distort your image. In simple keystone correction where a line is originally straight on one column, to correct it there's pixilated stepping that occurs on a straight line over multiple columns. You've probably seen this when you're playing around in Paint or something like that or where you're just bending a line on your computer, so it's creating a straight line over multiple columns. Then there's a process that occurs to smooth those lines where it displays two pixels at half brightness instead of one pixel at full brightness. As a result, it can visually make that horizontal line look like spun twine. The same thing for a vertical line, with vertical keystone. [Timestamp: 5:46]
When I put just one little unit of keystone correction into a projector I can immediately see the image get softer.
Oh, absolutely. It'll make it more blurry because it's trying to typically smooth those lines. And it's definitely going to be a lot more prominent if you have an image with horizontal or vertical lines and it's keystoned in that orientation. [Timestamp: 6:04]
And you can have a very good projector just having to fight the ambient light in a room that's poorly lit for projection. That can be a big factor, just having the right ambient lighting.
Right. Ambient light is actually really important when you're calculating the target brightness of a projector and the application. So extra light in the room means that there's gonna be more light on the screen and it can make an image look much more washed out. So you really want to account for all the light in the room when you're spec-ing in a projector. A lot of times there's also a screen material that's made specifically to enhance your image and your application, so while in your case you may use a different projector, you could use different screen types to actually make the image look much better. [Timestamp: 6:43]
One of my pet peeves with the facilities people is that they don't have separate lighting controls near the classroom podium so that you can, from there, just control the lights right in front of the screen. Just something as simple as that could make it appear as if you have another couple of thousand lumens from the projector.
Oh, absolutely. If you can turn any lights off near the screen then you'll get a lot more light reflected off of the screen straight from the projector. So any light in the room really reflects it.
Yeah, I'm sure ambient light is often overlooked when planning rooms for projection or just retrofitting a room with a projector. Now you talk to a lot of people and you conduct these courses. What in your experience is the most misunderstood aspect of projection technology? What do you get the most questions about?
Honestly, signal distribution. So this actually comes from my experience working with our applications engineering group. So if the signal isn't strong enough to get to the projector, it won't display it. Sometimes it's the quality of the cables or the length of the run or the processor in between the source and the projector – something that's causing the signal to weaken so much that the projector won't accept the signal. Many times signal degradation is due to the impedance mismatch that can be aggravated by longer cables. So some displays, like flat panels, they have a higher threshold in accepting weaker signals and they might display the image which isn't really a fair test to determine the projector's functionality and if the projector is actually failing at this point. A high-performance projector needs a high-performance signal and a lot of times that signal isn't strong enough to get to the projector. [Timestamp: 8:17]
And what do you look for in rating screen material? You get all kinds of surfaces being used, including walls. What do you look for in rating the kinds of materials that you're going to use for the surface of the image?
Screen manufacturers make materials to fit all kinds of applications so if you're in a dark room, again with controlled lighting, a unity gain screen, which is usually white, would be best. If your application calls for overhead lights like we spoke of before, then you may want to look at a low-gain screen, usually gray in color, that will absorb a lot of the light making those colors look a lot more rich and not washed out. There's also angular light rejection screens made of layers and ridges that reject overhead light reflecting back to the audience and on the screen. And then there's perforated screen material that allows you to install speakers behind the screen to let sound easily travel through the perforations. So some factors to keep in mind when you're spec-ing in a screen would be ambient light, sound design, audience size and intensity of the light hitting the screen. There's not actually a one-type-fits-all kind of screen. [Timestamp 9:17]
Well, there's a whole lot to this, a lot more than people tend to think about until they really get into it so a lot of people are coming to your courses at InfoComm. Those are going to be Understanding and Designing Warp and Blend Applications and the other will be Solid State Illumination and Projection Technology 101 and I think it's going to be a full house.
Yeah. Last year we had some full houses for every class. We were packed out. We have some new content. We have a new laser projector coming out this year so I'm trying to focus more on our solid-state illumination and get that information out there. There's not another three-chip laser projector on the market right now, so we're kind of taking a turn and actually teaching people about the technology. [Timestamp: 10:00]
It's going to be interesting when the people get to talk to you face to face and ask their questions. Thanks Erica for taking the time out to give us a preview of it. Erica Strickland, Training Manager for the Americas at Digital Projection. I know you're going to have a great show this year.
Absolutely. Thank you so much, Bennett.

Doesn't Apple get paid for searches done through their implementation of search in browsers?
How many times has Apple cobbled something together to claim they thought of it first etc? Little to none. Apple has no problem with being last to the game if taking the time means they can be best at the game, even if only in their opinion.
Which is why they waited months after buying two map companies to do anything with it. Which is why the first iPhone was only on EDGE. Why the 4s didn't include LTE? And so on
that's why they get the street data from official sources or build it themselves.
But things like 'there's road construction here' is user added info that can be good. Even things like rating the usefulness of suggested routes can be good. You can't tell from a map, for example that there's a big ass tree that blocks part of your view and makes it really hard to do a left turn at that spot so that route maybe isn't the best. But if a bunch of users down rank it and comment that that is why then you know to perhaps look at a different way to go
We know that Google pays big bucks to Apple for the default selection in the search box. I don't remember reading who pays whom in the iOS map app, but I wouldn't be surprised if Google pays Apple for that too. It is to Google's advantage obviously to have their branding inside a core iOS app.
Life is too short to drink bad coffee.
Life is too short to drink bad coffee.
But they don't always. Take the whole iPad thing. At least 3 companies announced touchscreen tablets of roughly the same 10 inch size before Apple officially announced the idea and even though none of them came out until a good 10 months or more later they claim they were first to 'launch' such a tablet. Yes Mapquest was first to create a mapping program. But this isn't just about a mapping program or even 3D maps. It's about that kind of map on a mobile device. And the rumors were that Apple would be the first to do this, until Google's invite when out. But will they be first to do it or just first to announce it.
that merely says that google wanted it on iPhone it doesn't mean they weren't asking Apple to pay for it. Or that they were asking for terms Apple would agree to.
don't be so sure about that. Some of said info is in publicly available sources, others will be part of the data that Placebase already had in their system. The rest, you could find, folks are happy to submit to Apple for inclusion because it's freaking Apple. "Everyone" has an iPhone, iPad or both. Of course they want to have their info in the system.
Pray tell, what do you know of Google's event that the rest of us do not? What specific feature is Google announcing that Apple plans to?
I'm surprised by some of the comments. Obviously it's a no-win situation for GOOG here, if they announce it sooner than Apple, they'd be upstaging Apple, but if they announce it later than Apple then they'd be stealing from Apple. The most reasonable guess is, Apple has terminated the current agreement with Google, and so the only thing left for Google to do is to make an iOS mapping/nevigation standalone app. Whether they announce before or after Apple, they'll still have to announce it, there's no way to avoid both negative outcomes from the view of the public.
Possibly but one of the best things about iOS is the apps as it gives you the choice to use something else if you want.
"These guys [Apple] are really, really good. This [iPhone] is different." --Mike Lazaridis, RIM co-CEO
"These guys [Apple] are really, really good. This [iPhone] is different." --Mike Lazaridis, RIM co-CEO
which most of the world will be required to use, while apple focuses on US market.
We know that Google pays big bucks to Apple for the default selection in the search box. I don't remember reading who pays whom in the iOS map app, but I wouldn't be surprised if Google pays Apple for that too. It is to Google's advantage obviously to have their branding inside a core iOS app.
if google is paying big bucks for default selection in search box, why did yahoo come pre-selected on my phone?
Here is a recount of what we know...
1. Load Balanced, Redundant Servers hosting the Geodata in Random Access Memory as "Shards" will provide efficient server interrogation (requests). According to United States Patent Application 20110276692 entitled "Server Load Balancing Using Geodata," Apple Maps will "Be divided among a plurality of servers based on geographical divisions in a process known as sharding. Sharding divides a collection of data into multiple segments called shards. Thus, each division of the world is a shard of geodata which includes data describing that segment of the world, data describing objects collectively making up that segment of the world, and/or data associated with a coordinate falling within that segment of the world."
"The shards of geodata can be distributed among a plurality of servers. Accordingly, each server is only responsible for a limited portion of the entire data set, which enables faster retrieval of geodata. Additionally, the same shard of data can be stored on more than one server so that multiple servers can share the load of serving many requests. This is especially useful in systems serving a high volume of requests."
"To accommodate the fact that some cells will contain less data than others, cells can be combined into shards made up of a plurality of cells. In such embodiments, a cell can be considered a basic unit of a shard, which can be combined into larger groups of data. FIG. 2 illustrates that a single cell overlapping several Northern California cities (San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento) contains enough data that the cell itself can be its own shard. Accordingly, shard 214 is shown being stored on a server disk 212. In contrast, the gray cells overlapping Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Western Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and parts of Arizona illustrate a shard 204 made up of several cells. Shard 204 is stored on server disk 202."
2. Categorized, Location Popularity Index (plus distance and day of the week, time of day among other weighted factors) improves search requests as described in United States Patent Application 20110218992 "Relevancy Ranking for Map-Related Search." "A variety of services exist which allow users to search for locations to visit. For example, some mapping programs allow users to search for locations near the origin of the search request, and some websites allow users to search for locations near a given address or zip code. In all instances, the user provides a search request and the service provides a list of search results most closely matching the request. Some services order the search results by proximity; some services order the search results by an average user ranking; some services order the search results according to positions in the search results sold as advertisements; and some services use a variety of mechanisms to rank the search results."
"Each approach has certain limitations associated with it. Search results ordered by proximity do not account for quality of the search result relative to the query. Search results ordered by average-user-ranking are based upon opinions of relatively few people whom take the time to review the location. Search results that are ordered based on advertising dollars also do not take into account quality or desirability and sometimes broaden the criteria for relevance beyond a desirable measure."
3. Presentation of information in a format relevant to the user as indicated in United States Patent Application 20110196610 "Schematic Maps." "The following relates to preparing and presenting schematic maps, which are maps that present information in a format that presents only information that is most relevant to a given situation in order to provide a simple and clear representation sufficient to aid a user in guidance or orientation. The schematic maps as described herein can be formatted based on the attributes of a display on which they are presented so that the map layout and presentation can be optimized for the particular display. The schematic maps can be "distorted" to better illustrate important maps areas in greater detail and using a relatively larger display area while deemphasizing less important map areas by illustrating them in less detail and using a relatively smaller display area, and thus the schematic maps can be devoid of adherence to a particular scale."
"The schematic maps can be useful for providing directions or maps of surrounding areas and maps displaying places of interest and locations of people in the surrounding area. The maps can be prepared and presented by executing a method on a device having at least a processor and a display by analyzing map vector data, which includes information describing map features including a start point, one or more potential end points, and one or more possible routes for directions to an end point."
4. Points of Interest (" places, buildings, structures, even friends") may be visually augmented according to United States Patent Application 20110199479 "Augmented Reality Maps." "A method of augmenting a video stream of a device's present surrounding with navigational information is disclosed. The user can instruct the device to initiate a live video feed using an onboard camera and display the captured video images on a display. By polling a Global Positioning System (GPS) device, a digital compass, and optionally, an accelerometer, location, camera direction, and orientation information can be determined. By using the location, camera direction, and orientation information, the device can request data describing the surrounding areas and the objects therein. In some embodiments, this data includes map vector data. The can be requested from an onboard memory or a server. The data describing surrounding areas can further be requested in conjunction with a search request. The search request can also include a request for information about nearby places of interest."
I recently downloaded the video podcast versions and will be checking them out shortly.
I'm currently working my way through the WWDC's from 97 onwards (currently at 2000) and they really are extremely interesting and educational. It's also been interesting to see the formula for the Apple keynote developing along the way.
Q: Hey, how can you tell when a Google user has had his recent data-mining?
A: He's walking funny.
I've only been watching Walt since the iPad was released (until I get around to those podcasts) but I get the same impression.
I was glad to see him bring up Siri with Tim Cook. And even more glad to hear Tim's reply.
However, I do have a sneaking suspicion that Kara Swisher may actually be a sock-puppet thrown in for comedy effect, although I am an admirer of her ground-breaking, sixties wardrobe.

"… when Google launched Google Maps for free, the whole world was agog with what you could find. One man who wasn't thrilled: Jaron Waldman, founder of Los Angeles-based startup Placebase. He was contemplating starting a white-label mapping business when Google went and made the value proposition of his idea disappear. After all, it's hard to compete with free. Or so you would think.
Intuit is announcing on Monday a Flash-based Web service that companies can use to geographically visualize their customer data and business activity.
Customer Explorer is being unveiled at this week's Adobe Max conference in San Francisco. Customer Explorer, available at the Intuit Workplace, imports QuickBooks data and overlays it on a live map.
Poly9 FreeEarth is a cross-browser, cross-platform 3D globe which does not require any download. It is the lightest, most compatible 3D globe on the Web. The main application weights approximately 300 kilobytes - meaning users don't wait more than 2-3 seconds. Features include: Worldwide coverage with high resolution imagery for U.S. metropolitan areas; Worldwide relief data brings topography to life; Cover certain spans of the globe with custom map covers; Support for Flash video makes integration of multimedia content a breeze; And rotate and tilt the globe using left and right mouse buttons.
The overall route can be "distorted" (308) from geographic reality in order to emphasize regions of high interest. Areas of high interest can include turns, areas surrounding a destination, areas surrounding a user's present location, areas surrounding search results, and other points of interest such as gas stations, parks, restaurants, etc. What constitutes an area of high interest can, in some embodiments, be based, in part, on user preferences.
Ever taken a detour that ended up taking longer than staying in on your current traffic-choked route? INRIX's 3rd Generation Routing Engine puts an end to this frustration. This groundbreaking service looks ahead in time to determine how traffic is expected to change along the course of travel. And that results in better routes and more accurate travel times for consumers.
INRIX Real-Time Traffic Flow
Ideal for traffic map display, travel times, alerting and other real-time applications, INRIX Real-Time Traffic Flow provides true real-time coverage across each country's roadway network. We do this by blending real-time road sensor data with billions of real-time data points from GPS-enabled commercial and consumer devices in taxis, service vehicles, airport shuttle services, cars, heavy good vehicles (HGV) and long haul delivery trucks.

Map data © Getchee, 2011.
Through proprietary modeling, we create 1KM2 - 500M2 grids that define different demographic segments of a market. This can be compared to, but not the same as, a block group in the United States. We also maintain a brand tracking database that captures location and business attributes associated with that point data.
Your sales, marketing, and expansion teams can capitalize on better area targeting, effective validation based on potential, and an enhanced understanding of the market environment. This data can be used with your BI tools, we can provide a consulting output, or you can make sense of it through our software Kiwi™.
If you've used demographic segmentation products like nielsen's PRIZM or ESRI's Tapestry, then you are familiar with what you can accomplish in understanding who your customers are, their behavior patterns, and how to locate them. With getchee's segmentation data, you can accomplish many of the same goals.
Since government and census data tends to be much less rich in Asia compared to the United States and Europe, getchee relies on methodology to create granular subsets (1KM2 - 500M2 grids) from very generalized published records.
By doing this we've built a standardized market segmentation system across geographies in Asia. With it you can better understand where your target consumers are, identify areas of wealth, and more effectively understand transient populations.
Grid Segmentation — Governments typically provide demographic information at sparse intervals, and at very high levels. For example, there was a 10 year gap between China's 2000 and 2010 censuses, and the most granular unit collected was to a city county level.
Our core value is our methodology and techniques for creating smaller, more granular units of measurement that can be used by strategic planners more effectively.
Grid Density — We use a color-coded system to show ranges of demographic density over digital maps. This is useful to quickly understand the distribution of market segments. With this method we can show a distribution of total population, working population, household number, affluent populations, and age.
In many of our engagements with our clients, we create customized distribution densities based on their business and target customer requirements.
Wealth Segmentation — Need to know the distribution of wealth across a city, region, or country? We model the distribution of wealth across geographies in Asia. This data gets consumed by retail and banking clients that need to understand how to better adjust their product and brand positioning in these markets. Ask us about the different kinds of wealth and affluent segments we have available in China, India, and Southeast Asia.
Retail Use — What product assortment do you feature at your retail locations? How do you develop a pricing strategy that suits the market? By understanding your markets in terms of wealth, you can better conduct sales, marketing, and expansion planning.
Banking Use — Which bank branches should have premium services? Which branches should cater to the upper, middle, and lower classes? These questions can be better answered through the analysis of a wealth segment.
Geo-Coded Points — We use different techniques including web scraping, field surveys, 3rd party vendors, and crowd sourcing to collect POIs in different categories. These categories can be broken down into accessibility, business, lifestyle, residential, and tourist point data.
Need to know where all of the banks and ATM locations are in Bangkok?
Need to find all the major sports apparel brand retail locations in China?
Location Attributes — In many cases we collect more than just a latitude and longitude for our POI data. We collect critical information needed to conduct intelligent business and strategic analyses including, but not limited to, brand name, address, phone number, format, and size.
In China, for example, we have nearly every shopping mall in the top 50 cities mapped to a point. For most of these locations we can tell you the size, brand assortment, class definition, and the number of parking lots.
Competitor Locations — In most cases we likely have a large majority of your competitor locations mapped to a point with business attributes. Gaining access to this information is easy through raw data, a consulting output, or our web-based tool that allows you to visually see your locations in relation to your competitors.
Whether you are looking to expand your retail footprint, or better market to your target audience, you need to have a good understanding of where your competitors are in relation to your store network.
Besides tracking base map, infrastructure, and government related point data, we follow major brands in the categories seen here. So for example, if you need to know where all of the McDonald's, KFC, and Pizza Hut locations are in China, this information would be readily available. Perhaps you need to know where all of the Nike locations are, including inside of shopping centers and malls, this information would also be available.
Brand Synergies — By analyzing your store locations and performance data in relation to business POI, you can discover synergies that mesh well with your brand.
Service Area Overlap (Cannibalization) — Through a GIS analysis of your competitor locations, you can better understand how they impact the performance of your stores.
Contact our team for specifics on what brands we track throughout Asia.
|POI Category
|Apparel & Clothing
|Coffee Shop
|Electric Retailer
|Personal Care
|QSR & Restaurant

There are many different kinds of heat maps, but all of them share the same principle in understanding the density of a data set in relation to its geographic environment.
We produce standardized heat maps for geographies we support in Asia. These are useful for quickly understanding new markets in terms of where people live, work, and shop.
Accessibility — We use an aggregation of transportation infrastructure such as subway stations, bus stops, and train stations.
Business — We use an aggregation of business point data such as banks, registered business addresses, and office buildings.
Lifestyle — We use an aggregation of retailers such as coffee shops, malls, restaurants, and shopping centers.
Residential — We use an aggregation of common points such as supermarkets, convenience stores, and video rental locations.
Competitor Intensity — Using heat maps you can visually see and understand the distribution of your competitors across geographies. You don't need a complex analysis to understand the output.
Industry Intensity — See how business locations of different industry types are distributed across geographies. How does this relate to your business? Are you in the right locations to capture potential?
Market Potential — We can customize a market potential heat map for your business based on your target consumers, key competitors, synergistic POI, and other market related factors.

We can see the "peak" of Google happening now. They are at a stage when usefulness has started to peak because their sheer ad revenue eclipses anything else they could bother to do.
Here is a recount of what we know...
1. Load Balanced, Redundant Servers hosting the Geodata in Random Access Memory as "Shards" will provide efficient server interrogation (requests). According to United States Patent Application 20110276692 entitled "Server Load Balancing Using Geodata," Apple Maps will "Be divided among a plurality of servers based on geographical divisions in a process known as sharding. Sharding divides a collection of data into multiple segments called shards. Thus, each division of the world is a shard of geodata which includes data describing that segment of the world, data describing objects collectively making up that segment of the world, and/or data associated with a coordinate falling within that segment of the world."
"The shards of geodata can be distributed among a plurality of servers. Accordingly, each server is only responsible for a limited portion of the entire data set, which enables faster retrieval of geodata. Additionally, the same shard of data can be stored on more than one server so that multiple servers can share the load of serving many requests. This is especially useful in systems serving a high volume of requests."
"To accommodate the fact that some cells will contain less data than others, cells can be combined into shards made up of a plurality of cells. In such embodiments, a cell can be considered a basic unit of a shard, which can be combined into larger groups of data. FIG. 2 illustrates that a single cell overlapping several Northern California cities (San Jose, San Francisco, Sacramento) contains enough data that the cell itself can be its own shard. Accordingly, shard 214 is shown being stored on a server disk 212. In contrast, the gray cells overlapping Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Western Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, and parts of Arizona illustrate a shard 204 made up of several cells. Shard 204 is stored on server disk 202."
Now they are filing a patent application for sharding?
Will be interesting to see if it holds up,especially considering the fact that it is a standard practice in programming to use sharding when dealing with large amount of data.
Of course this being US where people pay a premium on everything including coffee,shoes and cell phone,it would'nt be much of a stretch to make them believe that Apple came out with this first.
What do you mean by "Navigator's inability to show traffic while in navigation mode"? If you select Menu.Layers.Traffic View, you see the traffic situation on the route. In fact, while I typically trust and use the Garmin more than Google Navigation in the US, I use the traffic on the latter more. I have found it to be surprisingly accurate, much more than my Garmin! The main reason I use Garmin more than Google Navigation is because the Garmin stand is better than the ones I have found for the Vibrant and my Vibrant's GPS by and large sucks, although it's got substantially better with later ROMs. Even then, on cloudy days I get a lock on my Garmin a lot faster than on my phone. But as far as the mapping is concerned, I love Google Maps.
Well, I have not been able to use "Menu.Layers.Traffic View" AND stay in Navigation mode. It is either/or on my Dell Streak 5 with Android 2.2 and latest Maps/Navigator available for it. I can see the traffic on the highlighted route while in Navigator, but it switches out of the 3D "1st person" POV navigation mode to do that. Maybe a newer version of Android (on your Vibrant) "unlocks" using both features at the same time in Navigator?
This is what people don't get. You use maps to get information. 3D is exciting for a few seconds. After that?
The most useful features on Google Maps is POI and directions....and navigation on Android.
For Apple to compete, it's gotta do more than 3D.....

CLEVELAND -- The fiscal cliff that could end up costing American families thousands of dollars is now just 22 days away.
Without an agreement out of Washington, concern is growing among taxpayers over what will happen in the next three weeks.
At a rally Monday evening, over a dozen people gathered to send a message to lawmakers on what they want and don't want to see happen in 2013.
Fiscal Cliff: Expanded Coverage
Organized by the ALF-CIO, people voiced their opposition to an extension of the Bush-era tax cuts for the top 2 percent of Americans, as well as their concerns about the future of social security, Medicare and Medicaid.
Political analysts say this week is critical for reaching a deal, because it might take two weeks after that to work through the complexities of one.
Fred Crow, Jr., says whatever they decide will impact his family.
"I'm frightened about it," Crow said. Crow is a 28-year truck driver, 51-years-old, with a wife and three sons. He could be any blue collar worker in America.
"Social Security and Medicare are two programs I'm counting on to take me into my golden years. I'm worried about my pension," Crow said.
As the end of the year nears, Republicans are seeking savings from benefit programs to the tune of $800 billion.
Even President Obama has proposed $400 billion in reduced "entitlement" costs.
Crow considers these programs that have protected his family. He admits, though, he has a better idea of what he doesn't want to see happen, than what the best solution is.
"I'd like to see both parties come together and do what's right for this country. Take the money out of it," Crow said.
