'Dancing With the Stars' Finale: Live Blogging the Show
Speakeasy is live blogging the finale of "Dancing With the Stars." Tonight, one of three remaining celebrities — Jennifer Grey, Kyle Massey and Bristol Palin — will be crowned the winner.
You can leave your thoughts about the competition in the comments.
Thanks for joining us. This will likely be one of the more talked-about reality show finales.
All eyes, of course, will be on Bristol Palin. I found one moment from last night particularly telling. At one point, the camera caught Bristol rehearsing for the show, and it was interesting to hear her talk about the pressure she's under, and the fact that she's very conscious of the critics who she feels are ready to jump on her every mistake.
Readers, if you have thoughts on the show as it progresses, please share your remarks in the comments section.
Alas, I'm missing "Glee" as I write this.
I also wonder about the "Sarah Palin's Alaska" factor. The TLC show really functions as an infomercial for the Palin brand. I think that people who watch the show will probably be more likely to have warm feelings towards Bristol, to understand a bit more of her story, and to want to vote her the winner of DWTS. None of the other competitors has an ongoing reality show pumping up their personal brands in quite the same way. I'm not saying this is unfair or anything, I'm just saying it's one more factor that could contribute to Bristol pulling in the votes.
Tonight is also a big night for Jennifer Grey, of course. I think she has the most to gain in terms of a bump in her career by winning. She's kind of a walking "Whatever Happened To…?" Because of the rhinoplasty procedure that changed her looks, it's harder to connect her to the face we all recognize from "Dirty Dancing" and "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." A win for her, and the resulting media tour, would reintroduce her to fans. Am I the only one surprised to find out that she's 50 years old? She appears much younger.
Okay, we're starting soon. We'll be telling you about the action on screen in case you're not in front of the TV. Should be an interesting night.
We're on.
Ridiculously dramatic opening montage. Voice Over: "One will stand above the rest, and in that instant, the champion will realize what they did was, indeed, enough."
First Hasselhoff sighting of the night.
The returning stars, having been away from the competition for a few weeks, are a touch rusty in their moves. We're talking to you, Florence.
Montage scenes of the three finalists and their dances from last night. Speakeasy isn't taking sides but Jennifer Grey was exceptional all season.
Bristol says winning would be a "big middle finger" to everyone who hate my mom and hate me. The fighting Palins.
Bristol says winning would be a "big middle finger" to everyone who hate my mom and hate me. The fighting Palins.
In early tallies, Jennifer is in the lead, Kyle second and Bristol a close third. Jennifer says she ruptured a disc yesterday but visited a doctor today and he fixed her up. How do you fix up a ruptured disc in half a day? We smell faux drama.
Christina Aguilera is performing a routine inspired from her new film, "Burlesque."
Can you really dance with a ruptured disc? According to the Cedars-Sinai website "The bones of the spine are cushioned by small discs…. When discs are healthy, they act as shock absorbers for the spine, keeping the spine flexible. When discs are damaged by injury, disease or the normal wear and tear associated with aging, they may bulge or rupture, becoming a herniated disc (sometimes called a slipped or ruptured disc)." The site goes on to say "Although injury to the outer covering of a disc can cause pain, often a herniated disc by itself does not cause any discomfort." Apparently "Many people who have a herniated disc are not aware of it because they have no symptoms of leg or back pain. Symptoms that do appear vary greatly…"
And in case you're wondering, Jennifer's rhinoplasty should have no effect on her dancing tonight…
Kyle and Lacey are dancing the tango. He's really popping into the moves. Len says he comes in straight on, full on. Bruno says he has the power to connect with the viewers. Carrie Ann calls the couple a breath of fresh air.
Bristol and Mark are also dancing the tango. We know nothing about dancing — and we're not Bristol haters — but she looks sluggish and mostly along for Mark's ride.
Maybe we know nothing. Bruno likes. Carrie Ann says it's a new command. Len says she lacks Kyle's attack but has precision. Maybe we do know something. That sounds like a backhanded compliment.
Jennifer Grey and Derek are doing a slow, sexy waltz. She's wearing a gorgeous dress. Carrie Ann says there was "a new wisdom in her body." Len calls her the complete package." Bruno says a bunch of mellifluous (complimentary) stuff we didn't catch.
Scores: Kyle and Lacey (26); Bristol and Mark (25); Jennifer and Derek (30)
More Hoff. At home, in a comic sketch, reminiscing that he was kicked off the show in week one. Now he's on stage, singing and dancing a Baywatch-themed routine.
Now there's a routine with Kurt Warner and Rick Fox to "Eye of the Tiger."
Now it's Flo Henderson and Margaret Cho dancing to the Copacabana.
The Situation is dancing to "I'm Too Sexy" — maybe the most perfect pairing of song and celebrity dancer yet. Of course he has his shirt off.
Brandy is dancing to the "Friends" theme.
Goodness, there's a lot of padding on this finale show. Who won? Who won?
Now Christina is back to sing "Beautiful."
The three couples are set for their cha-cha-off. "The brawl for the mirror ball," as Len says.
Kyle and Lacey are dancing. He's becoming our favorite — he's a charismatic performer. Now Jennifer and Derek. Top notch, as always. Now Bristol and Mark. Her fringe-y dress is like an optical illusion. She's showing some funk.
Scores: Kyle (28); Jennifer (28); Bristol (27)
Bristol places third. In line with the judges' scores.
It's between Kyle and Jennifer. And the winner is….Jennifer
We're out.

Alright everyone, it's time to put boxes of tissues, earplugs or earmuffs, and being logged on your favorite forum site or blog cause if the recent dubs from Bandai Ent. have are any indication (IE: Code Geass), people are going to be bleeding out the ears and crying rivers all night long.
But then again, they might do good with the voicing so who knows. Over use of popular voice actors are to be heard tonight, I guess.
Good thing I've already seen this series so watching this will probably be a good laugh.

|I will be watching, but if this is a Gundam Wing re-do, I doubt I will care for it. Personally, Gundam Wing is my least favorite Gundam, at least of the ones I have seen so far (original Gundam, Zeta, Wing, both Seed series, 0080, 0083, and 08th MS Team).

First I have heard of this. I think I'll watch it. Good thing I checked the site today.
But I have never seen any Gundam's(I know I am a bad anime fan), at least not more than a couple random episodes here and there. Think that matters? The description makes it sound like it won't be a big deal. Which is what I am hoping.

Us in Canada are going to have to wait until next year at the earliest. Even then, there is a high likely hood it will be on a channel that 15 people in the country get.
So, can anyone tell me after Tonight's broadcast if the show airs with a Manga Entertainment presents in front of it? If it does then that is not good for Canada from what we've seen thus far.

|Haha, I had been waiting for this! Though I've seen the first season already it'll be interesting to hear the full range of voices in English since the promo on the Bandai website didn't give everyone a speaking chance. I just hope this doesn't incite massive wank on forums and whatnot, as dubs are want to do...>>;;

Well, Brad Swaile is playing Setsuna, so take that as you will. From what I heard of him in the trailer, he sounded like a good fit.
I too am hoping that this dub won't end up like Code Geass'; although I wouldn't say CG's dub was bad, but it could've been better.
00 was my first Gundam series as well, not counting the 13 episodes of Wing I tried watching a few years back, which I didn't take to. Contrary to Wing, I absolutely loved 00. You don't have to have seen any other Gundam series to get it, either -- in fact, 00 sort of fills the spot of prequel to other Gundam series, since it occurs before Earth is federated.

|heard about this awhile back, I deffinantly know I'm going to watch this without high expectations, Or getting anal about the dubbing, either way I'm just going to watch this gundam series as I would anyother anime. without high expectations, no preexisting opinion, and again not giving a damn about the dub quality

I can't say I've ever followed Gundam too well. Honestly I'd say G-Gundam and 08th MS Team would be the only ones I watched with some level of interest. The rest I was lost on less than 5 episodes in. But in the spirit of fairness I'll give this one a shot and hope that it is worth my while.
As for the dubbing, I do wonder why more often than not that Bandai sends the dub work for their Gundam series to the studios in Canada rather than say Animaze or Bang Zoom in Los Angeles? Not important, just wondering.

Earth and its society have been changed irrevocably in the aftermath of Ender Wiggin's victory over the Formics. The unity forced upon the warring nations by an alien enemy has shattered. Nations are rising again, seeking territory and influence, and most of all, seeking to control the skills and loyalty of the children from the Battle School.
But one person has a better idea. Peter Wiggin, Ender's older, more ruthless brother, sees that any hope for the future of Earth lies in restoring a sense of unity and purpose. And he has an irresistible call on the loyalty of Earth's young warriors. With Bean at his side, he will reshape our future.
Here is the continuing saga of Bean and Petra, and the rest of Ender's Dragon Army, as they take their places in the new government of Earth.
Browse more titles in the Ender Wiggin series.
©2002 Orson Scott Card; (P)2002 Fantastic Audio; Fantastic Audio Is an Imprint of Audio Literature
"Fans will enjoy an exciting, fast-paced plot and a suspense-filled conclusion." (Amazon.com)
"Once again, Card keeps the action, danger, and intrigue levels high." (Booklist)
"good for the series"
I enjoyed the story pretty good for the series didn't have any real issues with the reader was good I'll listen to the rest of the series
"I wanted to like it."
I've listened to everything in publishing order so far. All of the flaws in the earlier books are amplified in this one. The story should be good and the characters are mostly interesting up until this book.
I've thought for a most of the story (the series so far), that Card was writing a book to be used in an English Lit class to introduce philosophy and maybe even comparative religion. Up to this point, the books are a good conversation starter. Then suddenly the characters changed.
Bean just changes, he doesn't evolve. He doesn't really struggle through anything other than tough situation. Petra becomes obsessed with "making babies." I get it, they are supposed to be horny teenagers, but Petra was annoying, and Bean was just better than the mediocrity around him. Peter was rather uncomplicated for a person who was known to the world as two different people.
The story is supposed to be about extraordinary people doing extraordinary things. Unfortunately it is a story about rather boring people caught up in rather uninteresting situations.
I did want to like it. The characters have interesting backstories. They are all geniuses reshaping history.
Even more frustrating was Card treating the readers like idiots. He had to explain every allusion to Achilles. Yes, we know about about the heal, and the arrow. This also makes the characters seem stupid.
So overall, disappointing, but it didn't suck so bad that I didn't finish.
"Characters a written for the plot"
Fun to read, if you like the Enderverse. Not so much if you like good characterization. Peter Wiggin, in particular, is completely abandoned and wasted in this story.
"Not the best in the series for me"
Not bad but Just another novel, not as deep or creative as previous which I loved
"Great story and performance! Terrible audio :("
As usual, Orson Scott Card tells a great story. The audio sucks and there are weird, very bad edits that steal the show away from an otherwise fantastic performance.
"No music PLEASE"
the music is terrible, why, just WHY
but still a great book, absolutely loved it excluding the random and annoying music
And Buffalo George
"Who's Bean?"
This book is about the battle school alumni making good or bad things happen in the world. The first part of this book deals mainly with the character's relationships-- the second half is more political/military. I kept looking for Dr Evil and Mini-me to pop out. Thankfully, they did not. The series is about Bean, but the reader does not identify with him as well as in previous books...even though he and Petra are making un/ethical decisions about child bearing. This book is definitely not as intriguing sci-fi as some of the others in the Ender Game series. It's more like a romantic cop book crossed with a dash of Clancy.
"Bad antagonist."
The antagonist isn't realistic, and really makes it difficult to Wade through this book. It would be better to have a military officer of the IFF or a rogue leader from one country be the antagonist.
Brilliant as I would expect from the author. It tells me I need to keep writing to submit my review I wonder if this is enough.
"Good but not great"
Yeah I would although this one was a bit to slow compared to the others. great narration though
Only as part of the series. On it's own not. AS it's just too slow.
Same as the others, always great performances
"Most read"
One of the best sci fi books ever made. It's a great time killing with amazing charters. Any age you will live it
"All of them"
It's the best overall story that iv ever listened to. Every book is as good as the last. Interesting and entertaining.
"A let down"
This book was a let down compared to the other 2 in this series. I have already bought the fourth book, so i will listen to that and hopefully it will pick up.
So why not so good? It was the overall story of Bean and Petra and their love for each other, and their desire for children.
The only saving grace was the end, which means something refreshing and new for the next book.
"A satisfying conclusion to the Bean saga"
The Bean storyline is not as brave as the Ender story, and this book isn't as cataclysmic as the Ender story. Still, it is a great book and if you have read the other Ender/Bean books, there is no reason why you wouldn't finish the storyline. (Just don't expect this book to be as good as the first two Bean books.)
"Entertaining continuation of series"
I feel the Shadow series has gone on a little too long with this one. Although I really enjoyed it, there is nothing particularly novel in the story. There is a sense of fatigue in the way the story is being told, almost as though the author is only really trying to mirror the number of books in the original Ender Series with the number of books in the Shadow Series - four a piece. (There are three others at present that fill in story elements)
"Ender's Shadow" was a five-star book, but since then, the series has declined in purpose and originality. The character of Peter Wiggin has been reduced from the brilliant, emotionally violent and sarcastic future world saviour, to what I feel is a churlish, weak individual, greatly outshone by Bean.
I will listen to the final book in the series ("Shadow of the Giant") but only for completeness and with a sense of apprehension as to how far the author will continue to undermine its superb antecedents.
Excellently narrated.
"Shadow Puppets"
Although the lugubriousness of the narrators can grate a little (as with all the 'Ender' series from Audible), the sheer quality of the plot and language outweigh any such considerations. Once again, an excellent continuation of the saga, filling in for us those 'what happened to...' ponderings.
Report Inappropriate Content
If you find this review inappropriate and think it should be removed from our site, let us know. This report will be reviewed by Audible and we will take appropriate action.

We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
Is there more to life than money?
15 Jul 2011 21:23 GMT | Politics, Middle East, France, Iraq, Syria
As many as 28 protesters have been killed across Syria after security forces reportedly shot at protesters, hundreds of thousands of whom took to the streets in the biggest protests so far against Bashar al-Assad's rule, an activist group said.
The latest toll included 22 people who were killed in Damascus and its suburbs - the highest death toll for the capital so far, Mohammad Abdullah, a spokesman for the Local Co-ordination Committee (LCC), said on Saturday.
The LCC tracks anti-government demonstrations in the strife-ridden country.
Police fired live ammunition and teargas in Damascus, killing five people, and four in southern Syria near the Jordanian border, Reuters news agency reported on Friday, quoting witnessess and activists.
Three protesters were shot dead in the northern city of Idlib, they said.
Reuters quoted a witness in the Rukn al-Din district of Damascus as saying that hundreds of young men wearing white masks fought security forces with sticks and stones.
"Down, down Bashar al-Assad", they chanted.
"We are in Midan and they are firing teargas on us, people are chanting," a witness said by telephone from the centre of Damascus.
In the city of Hama, scene of a 1982 massacre by the military, live video footage by residents showed a huge crowd in the main Orontos Square shouting "the people want the overthrow of the regime".
Al Jazeera has not been able to verify independently the reports of violence.
Deir al-Zour unrest
At least 350,000 people demonstrated in the eastern province of Deir al-Zour, a tribal city in the eastern desert, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR), an independent rights group based in London, said.
"These are the biggest demonstrations so far. It is a clear challenge to the authorities, especially when we see all these numbers coming out from Damascus for the first time," Rami Abdelrahman, head of the SOHR, said.
On Thursday day, Syrian forces shot dead two pro-democracy protesters in Deir al-Zour, local residents said.
For the first time, that city observed a full strike on Thursday, an activist told Al Jazeera, with almost all businesses closed, though government offices remained operational.
Reports said military dragnets had also taken place on Wednesday and Thursday in Damascus, Idlib province and a politically sensitive area near the Turkish border in the northwest.
President Assad, facing the greatest challenge to 40 years of Baath Party rule, has sought to crush demonstrations.
The protesters have been calling for reforms and an end to the longstanding political status quo.
Swelling in size
Rights groups say about 1,400 civilians have been killed since the uprising began in March, but the protests have continued unabated and swelled in size.
With the economy stagnating and unemployment rising, Syria's main ally, Iran, is considering offering $5.8bn in financial help, including a three-month loan worth $1.5bn to be made available immediately, a French business newspaper, Les Echos, said, citing a report by a Tehran think-tank linked to Iran's leadership.
Emboldened by the spreading protests, prominent opposition figures and activists were to hold a conference in Istanbul in Turkey on Saturday that would be closely co-ordinated with another conference in Damascus.
Radwan Ziadeh, an opposition figure, told Reuters the conference would elect a 75-member National Council consisting of opposition members from inside and outside Syria.
"This is the first time we have a joint dialogue [between] opposition in Syria and exiled Syrians," he said from Istanbul.
"We will elect 50 members to the National Council from inside Syria and 25 from exiled Syrians."

NEW YORK Foreign central banks' overall holdings of U.S. marketable securities at the Federal Reserve rose in the latest week, data from the U.S. central bank showed on Thursday.
The Fed said its holdings of U.S. securities kept for overseas central banks rose $13.12 billion in the week ended December 19, to stand at $3.234 trillion.
The breakdown of custody holdings showed overseas central banks' holdings of Treasury debt rose by $15.9 billion to stand at $2.883 trillion.
Foreign institutions' holdings of securities issued or guaranteed by the biggest U.S. mortgage financing agencies, including Fannie Mae FNMA.OB and Freddie Mac FMCC.OB, fell by $3.1 billion to stand at $315.2 billion.
The Fed said its holdings of so-called "other" securities held in custody and reported at face value rose by $325 million to stand at $36 billion. These securities include non-marketable U.S. Treasury securities, supranationals, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and commercial paper.
Overseas central banks, particularly those in Asia, have been huge buyers of U.S. debt in recent years and own more than a quarter of marketable Treasuries. China and Japan are the biggest foreign holders of Treasuries.
The full Fed report can be found on: here
**Please note that in the week ended November 15, 2012 the Fed changed how it calculates the data covering securities held in custody for foreign official and international accounts.
Custody holdings of U.S. Treasuries held by the central bank does not include those securities pledged by the Fed as "collateral in reverse repurchase agreements conducted with foreign official and international accounts," the Fed advised.
It added that the data now incorporates "inflation compensation on Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), which captures the inflation adjustment to original face value of TIPS over time."
The calculation for agency debt holdings was revised to reflect current face value rather than original face value as previously reported, the Fed said.

So it's actually a hotel, which felt very secure but had no atmosphere. The staff that checked us in and out was super friendly but the night staff was frustratingly useless when we were trying to use the computers available (they were exclusively in German and the printer didn't work) the room was beautiful and clean, but no air conditioning. Very conveniently located next to a transit stop but only ran every half hour into the city.

Not too far from the city center but only can access from one train which comes once every 30 mins. No AC in the rooms, only a fan. They ask you to open the windows if you want cool air but the windows are large enough for a big person to climb through. That did not make me feel particularly safe.

Our room was vey clean and modern. We were very happy with it! The twin room was very spacious and had a good bathroom. The hotel itself was conveniently only a couple of minutes from the train station and only a few stops away from the main station. And the free shuttle to the airport was great! The breakfast was good. Even tho it was a bit expensive over all, everything is in Zurich so we were very happy with what we got for our money. The young man at the reception desk was very helpful

The two CDs below are from my singer-songwriter touring days in the late 1990′s and early 2000. The Word of Mouth House Concert Tour took me all over the US, Canada and a bit of Europe. You are welcome to download both CDs at no cost. I do continue to write but no longer tour – being away from home nine months out of the year just doesn't work for me. Over the past few years I have written enough new material for a third CD but don't know when or if that will happen. For now, enjoy these two and let me know what you think or how the songs relate to you. I miss the stories I heard from the audience when I was playing them live. The woman in Alaska who had placed a child up for adoption, and cried during Another Mother, which I had written about my birth mother, for example. That connection between what I was experiencing and writing about and the stories people then told me about their own lives was one of my favorite parts of performing. I'll keep posting lyrics to both these songs and new ones as I write them. Thanks for listening.

My local library has a monthly chess club meeting and last month, they were discussing playing the KG against the Sicilian. Am I mistaken or is this simply the McDonnal Attack or an accelerated Gran Prix Attack? Any ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
The DB I accessed is calling it a Gran Prix Attack (B21).
This is an example line and it gives wins for Black whether White plays Qe1 or Qxd8
yep just the Grand Prix Accelerated
Sorry, never heard of it. Interested in the answer though...
King's Gambit is not possible against the Sicilian.
If you mean 2.f4, then yes, this is a move, but 2...d5! is widely considered good for Black. This is because the Tal gambit 3.exd5 Nf6 4.c4 e6 gives Black great central activity for the pawn, practically no one wants to play this for White, and if White does not go into it he could end up in an awkward position that requires creative looking development just to show equality, e.g. the dreaded "Toilet Bowl" variation.
Grand Prix Attack would be 1.e4 c5 2.Nc3 Nc6 3.f4. The inclusion of Nc3 Nc6 takes away Black's quick ..d5 and this is very important.
Great. It seemed a bit odd to me that for someone puting together a chess club, that they would make such a big error.
I wouldn't say it's a "big error" so much as a little sloppy with regards to opening classification. It's more important to understand the reasoning why certain move orders are not as popular.
True. This seems like one of those openings we used to call Coffeehouse openings.
Not Coffeehouse. The Grand Prix Attack was quite popular for a while, certainly amongst UK GMs and IMs, but antedotes have been found. It gets its name from the "Grand Prix" competition, which runs in the UK over the year, and is won by the player who gets most points in what are mainly weekend Swisses.
The fact that the "club" is advertising "King's Gambit against the Sicilian" tells me that the club is full of patzers, and probably nobody higher than maybe 1200.

Reference for renewable resources
Rammed earth, goat's-hair rugs and recycled oak wood are just some of the natural construction materials used by the Agency for Renewable Resources (FNR - 'Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe') in their new offices in the northern German town of Gülzow. The building - designed by matrix architektur (Rostock, Germany) - is now the subject of a detailed FNR publication.
Rammed earth, goat's-hair rugs and recycled oak wood are just some of the natural construction materials used by the Agency for Renewable Resources (FNR - 'Fachagentur Nachwachsende Rohstoffe') in their new offices in the northern German town of Gülzow. The building – designed by matrix architektur (Rostock, Germany) – is now the subject of a detailed FNR publication.
The FNR has been coordinating research, development and demonstration projects since 1994, in order to inform both companies and citizens about the potential of renewable resources. The agency was set up initially by Germany's Federal Ministry of Food, Agriculture and Consumer Protection. Currently, the FNR manages around €53 million of grant money within the 'Renewable Resources' programme.
Among other things, the FNR runs the 'Fachberatung Bauen und Wohnen mit nachwachsenden Rohstoffen' (Specialist counselling for building and living with renewable resources). The new construction in Gülzow doesn't just serve as its office space, it is also a reference object for working with natural materials in a public authority building. Set in a timber framework, the 923 m² house (main usable area 533 m²) offers room for 31 employees.
Wood on brick
The building is located on the site of an old potato warehouse in the grounds of the Gülzow manor house. The architects' idea was based around a two-storey wood stack on a massive brick semi-basement, which is half entrenched into the ground. The façade cladding is made from recycled oak wood, which has only been sanded smooth on the north and south sides. The east and west sides of the facade, on the other hand, have a rougher natural profile. Windows take the form of vertical slots, while their soffits have been encased with green-coloured glass.
Half of the semi-basement is taken up by offices, while the other half (which is embedded in the hillside) contains a large, windowless archive room. The two upper floors are taken up exclusively by offices (both single and double offices as well as an open-plan office space).
In addition to the oak planks that make up the facade, renewable resources were also used on the inside of the construction, as well as in many different parts of the interior: the timber frame walls are insulated with cellulose and wood fibre, while the first and second floor are divided by a board ceiling. The interior walls have received a loam rendering and are covered with casein paint. Focal point of the foyer is a rammed earth wall, which also serves a thermal heat collector. To this end, it is fitted with a pipe system, which - similarly to reinforced concrete ceilings – can be thermally activated.
What does sustainable construction cost?
At a total cost of €1.983 million, the 31-person office building is cheaper than some luxury homes. However, it is interesting to compare the cost of the solutions selected with a more 'standard' building according to the EnEV: the FNR reports additional costs of €62,000 (4% of the total). One of the main reasons for this was the floors and ceilings (board ceiling, fibreboard insulation and the goat-hair carpeting). The 'energy-related' additional costs – what was spent to undercut the EnEV rating by 50% - were 12%, with 5% going on the building construction and 7% on the systems engineering. Particularly costly here was the central ventilation system with heat recovery, which costs around seven times as much as a comparable solution according to the EnEV standard.
A detailed brochure about the new FNR building is available free of charge on its website (in German): www.fnr-server.de

AMSTERDAM A Dutch court ruled on Wednesday that some of Samsung Electronics' (005930.KS) Galaxy smartphones and tablets infringe an Apple (AAPL.O) patent in the latest round of the two firms' worldwide battle.
The court ordered Samsung Electronics to pay Apple damages, determined by how much profit it has made from the sales.
The patent dispute concerns the Android operating system versions 2.2.1 to 3.0 used on Samsung's Galaxy tablets and smartphones, the court said.
Samsung and Apple, the world's top two smartphone makers, are locked in patent disputes in at least ten countries as they vie to dominate the lucrative mobile market and win over customers with their latest gadgets.
Samsung, the world's top maker of smartphones, infringed Apple patents to make its smartphones and tablets, a U.S. trade panel judge said in a preliminary decision issued last month.
Samsung won a court case last month in the Netherlands, when a Dutch court ruled the company did not infringe an Apple patent by using certain multi-touch techniques on some of the Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablet computers.
