Anyone else with Verizon Wireless service have issues with not being able to make calls or send text messages? I know it wasn't my phone because my wife's didn't work either..
Didn't really care once the game started, but tried getting ahold of family and friends prior to the game to let them know where we were at and got nothing.....
Yeah, I experienced that same thing. I persisted for most of the game but I was able to make a call afterwards.
I noticed that during tailgating and the game I was not able to make calls. Not sure about texting but I am sure they weren't working either. Really one of the only times I have ever had problems with Verizon.
It was terrible
Sprint was fine, but I've had problems when I used to have USCellular in years past.
This is a common problem with all the cell usage in one area. I know us cellular brought in a mobile truck tower, but it's still gonna happen.
Yeah me too which is weird because it's only been an issue during the Iowa game in the past because of having ~ 70,000 people around the stadium. This is the first time it's happened that I can recall during a normal game.
Kansas wears Adidas.
They blocked out everyones cell phones so the coaches had a clear signal during the game.
You have 75,000 extra people in a small area. What do you expect?
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. - Benjamin Franklin 1775
75,000? That set a new attendance record then!

For them to bring in mobile towers.
Science investigates; religion interprets. Science gives man knowledge, which is power; religion gives man wisdom, which is control. Science deals mainly with facts; religion deals mainly with values. The two are not rivals. They are complementary.

Hey, does anyone remember when people didnt have cell phones? What did we do to pass the time.
ihad bad issues. couldn't get ahold of friends tailgating or my wife after

Sontheimer Pens Textbook
- Details
Harald Sontheimer, Ph.D., professor of neurobiology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham and director of the UAB Civitan International Research Center, has written a comprehensive college-level textbook covering 40 diseases of the nervous system, from stroke to brain tumor.
Sontheimer says the book provides an introductory tutorial for students, scholars, researchers and medical professionals interested in current understanding and treatment of diseases of the nervous system, from foundational science to the best treatment protocols.
"I have been teaching a class with the same title as the book, "Diseases of the Nervous System," for more than a decade, and students kept asking whether there was a book they could use to accompany the class," Sontheimer said. "While there were excellent neurology textbooks, none were suitable for college or graduate students, and even for medical students the neurology textbooks were too specialized."
Sontheimer wrote the book using college students at a Memphis-area college as a focus group while teaching there during a sabbatical from UAB. The book provides comprehensive introductions to stroke, epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, head and spinal cord trauma, multiple sclerosis, brain tumors, depression, schizophrenia, and many other diseases of the nervous system.
It is published by Academic Press and is now available at

I feel that we need to get a wide midfielder to be able to replace GIGGS in a few years, and I feel that SWP would be a great addition to the squad. He is young, fast and has proven himself on numerous occassions.
Park, Ronaldo, Richardson, Martin - why do we need another wide midfielder when we got 4 already? Ronaldo is a world class player, Park is excellent, Richardson seems to have stepped up a level and Martin has shown real potential.Also I don`t think there is any way that Chelsea would sell one of their players to man utd.

The Dark Blues welcome County to Tayside knowing they have a 14-point gap to cut at the foot of the table in their attempt to stave off the threat of relegation. The SPL's bottom club face a stiff test against the Staggies, who have earned themselves a reputation for being experts at shutting up shop away from home.
"County will come here and try to keep things tight so it will be up to us to get the better of them," Smith said.
"They've proved this season that they can be a very difficult side to break down away from home. All credit to them for that but we're the home team, and we'll be looking to go out there and get a positive result against one of the teams round about us in the table. It will be a very difficult match but we have to believe we can do it and I have faith in these players."
Dundee are desperate to make up some much-needed ground in their fight for survival, but Smith has played down talk of the game being must-win for the Taysiders.
He said: "Every game is big for us between now and the end of the season. It's been like that all season where we've gone into all games focusing on trying to get the three points.
"There is no more added pressure going into this game than there has been in any other one. The players have had a good week's training so are really looking forward to the game.
"Our last game against them ended in a draw up there and there was nothing between the two sides. We've just got to make sure that whenever we get chances in front of goal we have to take them."
Dundee's confidence is high after sweeping past Morton with a 5-1 victory last weekend, which Smith hopes can be a factor on the night.
He said: "It's given the lads a boost. And the goals were spread around as well which is always encouraging from any team's point of view. We want the fans to rally round and really help the boys as they can make so much difference on the night."

I'm sure it will sting to burn 6 points on a 3-4 point unit but it's hard to argue with the advice that has been given so far. Say WY gets a tough winter next year or drought or fires or whatever, you might end up with 8-9 points in a few years and still be in the same spot you are now.... Plus if you hunt there this year, you'll be able to draw it again in another few years and have some good experience in that Region.
G took 3-4 points last year but no one knows how many points G will take this year. It could go up and you might not have as many extra points as you think.
Hunting always beats sitting home on points....
06/06/09 I was washing my boat to go walleye fishing. My RCA clogged 100%, tried to drive to hospital, didn't make it. Ambulance took me to a clinic where I flat lined. A little jolt and a flight on lifestar , and I'm lucky to be here. There's no guarantee on tomorrow ....
The three things I thought about , in this order
1 my dog Ted
2 my wife
3 a 21 y/o bottle of scotch I never opened
I'd hate to leave points on the table :-)
I've never had a problem with burning a couple more points than a hunt takes. Sometimes you are holding out for just the right year, season dates, herd condition and building points along the way. I really like knowing when I pull the trigger on a tag I will almost certainly draw it.
Go hunt, they're just points. Someone on here (or somewhere else) called them a big batch of koolaid and in many respects I agree. The point values do not necessarily reflect the quality of the area, just the popularity. A few general regions turn out far bigger bucks than, for example, 102 ever will.
When's the last time you saw a B&C buck out of Sweetwater county(not that score matters much)?. . .
I like knowing I will draw too however by putting in for units with more points you're contributing to the point creep. I'm sitting at Max for Elk in Wyoming and just waiting till I have time to do the hunt right. Burning my max deer points this year though.

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — Kentucky Derby-winning trainer Rick Dutrow Jr.'s licensing dispute with Kentucky horse racing regulators appears headed toward a new phase.
The Kentucky Horse Racing Commission on Wednesday denied Dutrow's request that his license application be withdrawn.
Earlier this year, the commission's License Review Committee denied the trainer a license to race in the state in 2011. Commission executive director Lisa Underwood said at the time that the committee's denial was based on Dutrow's "consistent disregard for the rules of racing."
Underwood said Wednesday the commission's latest decision means Dutrow's appeal can proceed to a hearing officer, who will review the case and submit a recommendation to the commission. The commission can accept, reject or modify the recommendations.
Dutrow won the Derby and Preakness in 2008 with Big Brown but has had trouble staying out of trouble since.

If you've been following this blog over the past 2-3 years you're well aware we've been talking about the convergence of mobile and video as the web's future for quite some time now. Turns out we're not the only ones who see things that way. The two largest players in online engagement today are YouTube and Facebook, and though each has its own approach, they're both focused primarily on this paradigm.
With over a billion users and more than 300 hours of video uploaded every minute Youtube still reigns supreme in the kingdom of online video. From the perspective of online retailers one of the most interesting youtube phenomenons is product related user and brand generated content. It's a simple reality that regardless of what you're selling the odds are there are already youtube videos out there that relate to your product, and some of those might actually be excellent marketing pieces that could be very valuable at helping you drive sales. If you've ever tried locating them though you probably realized very quickly what a massive challenge it is to locate these needles in the Youtube haystack.
I recently ran into a great post by Jen Farley over at video-commerce.org discussing the limitations Youtube has as the sole platform to service your ecommerce operations.
Jen lists some strong arguments such as the inflexibility of the youtube player to custom options, nonexistent automated distribution, and limited analytics.
We Have A Unique Insight on Video in Ecommerce
Working as closely as we do for ecommerce giants such as Walmart, Cnet, and Lenovo, allows us to add one further reason which becomes evident at scale: The cost of creating and curating a video channel on youtube with individual videos for each and every product is impossible to justify even for some of the largest vendors on the web.
At 500+ Products Video Content Must Be Automated to Remain Up-to-Date
For any ecommerce vendor providing 500 products and up the only route to sustain a dynamically current video library encompassing every product in a constantly evolving catalog, is via content automation technologies like video and voice over generation.
The Next Generation of Content Marketing is Already Here
These are merely two examples of emerging content personalization and automation solutions we're seeing coming into the market. Technologies such as dynamic upsell product matching, cart retrieval widgets, content suggestion and matching, and of course retargetting advertising…
Earlier today I bumped into an interesting article by Pete Prestipino of websitemagazine.com regarding the considerations that led etailers to select how and where they publish their ecommerce and product videos.Pete's article provides some very interesting graphs sourced via Compete.com that follow the absolute numbers of Unique Viewers for a wide range of video providers throughout 2013. The data includes such veteran players as Dailymotion and Metacafe, alongside new kids on the block like Instagram and Vine (which we mentioned in our tips list from a few weeks back).
Absolutes Might Be Off, But Relations Are Reliable
Like much of Compete's data, the graphs are especially interesting when one considers that while the absolute numbers given might be wrong, the relative positions of the platforms in comparison to one another are probably accurate.
How Do Smaller Video Portals Compare to YouTube?
All the platforms covered are in essence pretty much just the "long-tail" of video, with the truly interesting question being how they compare to the twin elephants in the room: Youtube and Facebook.
One indicator would be running a Google Trends comparison (The rationale for the selection below is that these terms are entirely unambiguous insofar as they relate ONLY to online video):
As the graph above clearly indicates, at a ratio of 92:~1/0 (as of January 2014), Youtube's dominance is complete.
Syndicating Product Videos Manually is Hard To Justify
Given the above results it's easy to understand why for most SME operators, who're already dealing with limited time for marketing, it's hard to justify the effort required to appear on all the platforms.
A possible caveat might be those businesses that target a particular niche demographic that tends to flock to the newer platforms (For example Instagram's demographic is quite clearly defined as young adults – Over 90% of Instagram users are under the age of 35)
Automate your Product Video Syndication
Since there's really no value added in repeating the process of video submission across multiple platforms manually, but the ability of milking long-tail value is to a great degree one of ecommerce's greatest strengths, the obvious solution is to automate the video submission process. This is one of the many ecommerce video services we're happy to assist you with…
In part 1 of this series you got a quick introduction to the history of online video which documented how both content and technology progressed in tandem to allow for increasingly innovative and creative programming.
These developments were critical and proved Bill Gates correct when he commented that in the digital world "Content is King". Increasingly it became clear that video reigns supreme.
So let's begin with 2006, where we left off last time.
Google buys YouTube
On the 9th of October 2006 Google acquired YouTube for $1.65 billion in stock. It was Google's largest purchase to date and it raised eyebrows because YouTube was far from being profitable at the time. What made it attractive were its 19 million monthly viewers. In Hindsight it's easy to see that Google was getting ahead of the curve with this purchase clearly foreseeing the internet's potential to out-space television for consumers and advertisers.
Flash overtakes downloading
Flash player technology overtakes the practice of downloading files as the industry standard for viewing online video.
YouTube used as a political tool
John Edwards bypasses traditional TV outlets and announces his candidacy for the US presidency on YouTube. He is the first, but not the last, do to so. From this point forward, political candidates begin to integrate video content in their campaigns via blogs and websites.
UStream launches
Ustream is launched and offers the opportunity for users to produce and broadcast live programming just like TV stations. In essence, the viewer now has the capacity to become their own network TV news anchor. Look out, BBC!
Netflix starts offering titles via streaming
Netflix, the DVD by mail subscription service, takes notice of online viewing trends and makes the pivot towards offering titles via streaming video.
iPhone puts video in our hand
The iPhone is introduced. The world's video content is available at our fingertips.
Hulu begins retransmitting on-demand content from major television networks. Now, you no longer have to rush home from doing errands and risk missing the first five minutes of your favorite program. Families everywhere come closer together as TV remote related fights become obsolete.
Introducing the Streamy
The popularity and creativity of user generated online video is acknowledged by the International Academy of Web Television at its first ever "Streamy" Awards.
The awards recognize the best in web TV production in a variety of categories including directing, writing and acting. As you might have guessed already, the entire awards ceremony is streamed live.
U2 make streaming history
Over 10 million viewers stream U2's 360° Rose Bowl concert held on October 25 in Los Angeles California. It is the largest streaming event to date, and allows the 97,000 in attendance to connect with U2 fans across the globe.
Millions worldwide bypass traditional media outlets and use their computers and mobile devices to surf over to Ustream to watch every second of the Chilean miner rescue. It becomes the year's most-watched Ustream event.
A new streaming record is set as 400 million watch the nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton. U2 fans demand a recount.
Today, more than half of the world's population enjoys watching TV, videos, movies, and live events online. Producers of major events have taken notice and incorporated this technology into their broadcast plans. For example, nearly every 2012 Summer Olympic event was streamed.
What next?
It's not unreasonable to assume that the number of online video consumers will undoubtedly increase as the market share for smart phones increases. Cisco predicts that by 2016, 86% of internet traffic will be online videos. Better technology, especially increasing bandwidth, will provide for a superior viewing experience enticing more viewers online. Ultimately, it will be the convergence of technology and content that will give the consumer the freedom to choose what content to watch and the options when and where to watch it. This will make online video a serious alternative to watching TV or going to the movies.
So, as the The Buggles sang in their early 80's hit "Video Killed the Radio Star" will online video bring on the demise of the traditional TV or movie star?
One will have to wait and see. Most likely, online…
Guest post by Jose Collazo
For some time now our development team has been hard at work on perfecting a system that enables etailers to capitalize on the advantages presented by mass distribution of videos to dedicated video sites. Earlier this week we finally launched our new Video Distributor service which we feel makes an important addition to our offering of low effort, high return, automated ecommerce video solutions.
What is it?
Video Distributor is an automated, scalable and inexpensive service for ecommerce vendors that's capable of rapidly uploading all a vendor's product videos to YouTube, Google Video, Metacafe, Dailymotion and other video sites. One of Video Distributor's mot important features is that it allows vendors to link to specific product pages on their site from the videos uploaded thus generating "deep links" to the vendor's site.
How can it be used?
We're offering Video Distributor both as a stand-alone service package and as an add-on service for our Smart Video Platform.
Video Distributor increases visibility and improves search rankings
Video Distributor ensures product videos are viewed by as many customers as possible across multiple video distribution sites and improves search rankings for our customers' products. Here's how it works:
People watch videos primarily on video sites
The past few years have seen video emerge as the most popular online medium. So much so that Youtube is today the world's second most popular search engine! Google and Yahoo have been aware of this trend for years and actively promote it by offering video search explicitly.
The huge availability of video content encourages us to search for video content for all our queries, including any pre-purchase product research we're engaged in. The thing is that we all tend to watch video primarily on the major dedicated video sites. This means that vendors neglecting to make their videos available on these sites are missing out on an increasingly popular exposure opportunity.
Here at Treepodia we were eager to find a way to help our customers capitalize on this traffic and Video Distributor is how we did it. Because it automatically uploads vendors' videos to all the major sites the vendors needn't worry they're missing out on the action any longer.
Using video linkage to boost SEO
Search Engine Optimization has always been, and still remains to a great extent, dependent on link building – the creation of high quality relevant off-site links leading back to the site's pages. From an SEO perspective well ranked videos located off-site on dedicated video sites (those that don't classify their outgoing links as "no follow") and deep-linked back to a particular page on the vendor's website, are a very desirable proposition. Our new Video Distributor provides this as a service for every video on your site and the SEO results have already been tested and proven:
Video Distributor secured a top Google ranking for ElectronicShopping.com for its "Morphy Richards smoothie maker" while for WellPack.fr the platform secured a top Youtube result for the query "Kenwood Robot Chef". Our longtime client Mr. Shmuel Gniwisch, the CEO of top jewelry sites Ice.com and Diamond.com, was kind enough to particiapte in the pilot phase of Video Distributor and has provided us with the following testimonial:
"We're thrilled with the results we've seen using Video Distributor…Our organic search rankings are much higher now that our product videos are available on the major video sharing sites, and we're experiencing an increase in traffic to our site in part due to customers linking directly to product pages from YouTube.com and other video sharing sites. Searching for white gold solitaire earrings already brings up our video (Ice.com) first"
For more details about Video Distributor, the Smart Video Platform, or any of our other services please feel free to contact us. We're always happy to help…
Now that I've paraphrased both Fight Club and Nike I guess it's time to explain:
The point I'm going to make in this post is that instead of procrastinating and postponing producing your first video, why not commit to:
Make your first video today!
Don't spend a ton of cash on production. You can create decent quality videos by stitching together a few photos and adding in music and narration. There's no need to buy any expensive software – you can produce video with free tools like Google's Picasa or Videospin. Internalize these two simple facts:
Producing a single video these day is EASY and you can do it for FREE.
A narrated slideshow looks and feels like a video to your audience, and more importantly, has the same impact:
A 60 second product video based on a slideshow backed with narration simultaneously addresses the learning needs of different types of people. It WILL have a positive effect on your sales conversions.
These videos are effective because the voice-over narration attracts auditory learners – who absorb information best when hearing it ,while the visual cues, such as bullet point slides, work well with visual learners – who absorb information best when seeing and reading it.
For both types of learners the dynamic aspect of the video draws attention to the content because human eyes are designed to follow movement.
If you Embed it they will watch
Anyone care to guess where that movie reference comes from?
Actually it's from a corny (literally – the movie is about a field of corn) Kevin Costner film that is very much in the "Just do it" spirit of this post.
The point of the reference is that once you have a video on your site it's guaranteed your visitors will watch it (at least for a few seconds -whether they stick with you is a question of how compelling you are and how long your video is).
You may rightfully ask:
"O.K. But how do I get my video on my site?"
Well, there are a ton of ways to do this but I'm going to offer you just one - use YouTube.
It's not that other options aren't great, it's just that I'd rather you get busy uploading than start procrastinating by comparing the pros and cons of different services. Not to mention YouTube is by far the most successful video service online today:
Get busy uploading!
- Uploading a video to YouTube is free and simple. Here's a short clip explaining how it's done:
- Once you've uploaded your video to YouTube all you need to do is embed it on your site:
Congratulations, You've added your first video to your site!
What next?
Now that you have video on our site, it's important to follow up by meticulously examining your site's stats and check how your video enhanced pages are performing.
Here are a two basic A/B test you should run:
- Page performance with video vs. without.
- Prepare another version of your video and compare performance for version A vs. version B
Ideally you should repeat this cycle continuously:
Shoot > Uploading > A/B test > Optimize > Shoot
Scale is an issue…
The time cost involved in committing to this type of effort for every product in your inventory tends to be such that, although you'll definitely see results and increase your bottom line, at some point you wont be able to keep up. Especially if you're inventory consists of more than just a few select items. That's where Treepodia comes in. Our ecommerce video platform automates the entire process outlined in this post. We'll boost your entire product catalog with auto optimized video enhancement in 24 hours or less. Furthermore we operate on a Pay-Per-View model guaranteeing that you're only paying for videos your clients actually saw. Contact us now to learn more : )
While the main gist of my writings here have to do with the world of video and eCommerce, I think that the overall world of online video, and how people are using and relating to video as a medium, is very relevant too.
That's one of the reasons I enjoyed the Marketing Sherpa blog post "Blogger Video Sharing Data." It delineates, in detail, how, when, and where bloggers are using video in their posts.
Marketing requires analytics as much as content
What I like most about the article, however, is the attention given to measurable metrics.After all the need for good statistics in any marketing effort, i.e. how are viewers interacting with the content, is probably as important as the absolute need for good content itself.
One of the biggest benefits of advertising (or doing anything) online is the ability to generate statistics. How many people actually saw the page on which your video appeared? How many clicked on it? Where do they live?
The level of detail that we have access to these days is unbelievable. All one need do is look at one's Youtube Insight panel to obtain demographic data that would have been completely impossible to collect even 3 years ago. According to the Marketing Sherpa post this was exactly what was done in order to generate the report discussed, but on a very grand scale:
"Sysomos analyzed over 100 million blog posts from July to September 2009 to measure bloggers' video sharing. The report breaks down the bloggers's demographics and the services they use."
What the data reveals about video sharing
The information delivered includes amazing facts such as that in the US, "81.6% of bloggers use YouTube to embed or link to video." Well, that maybe we could have guestimated, but there's no way we could have guessed New York is the top city for video sharing via blog, followed by Los Angeles and Chicago.
Interestingly, when ranked by state, California ends up as the most video-sharing-via-blog state, followed by New York, Texas and Pennsylvania.
How old are video blog sharers?
The age breakdown wasn't very surprising to me – turns out that almost 63% of those sharing videos on their blogs are young adults between the ages of 20 and 35, followed by a very distant 25.9% for those 35 to 60.
Back to the basics
But beyond these trivia details my greater point is that online EVERYTHING is measurable. This is perhaps the most amazing promise online marketing delivers on: no more stumbling in the dark, no more "Maybes", "Perhaps"es or "Possibly"s – just simple measurable and actionable figures that anyone can obtain and use.
This is more than just interesting, it's the kind of stuff advertisers must know to remain effective and reach their target audience as it migrates online in ever greater droves.
Never checked out Youtube's Insight?
Why not get the lowdown by watching this 2.5 minute video from Before and After TV:
A recent article in Internet Retailer states that:
"62% of U.S. adult Internet users watch videos on YouTube and other video-sharing web sites."
Youtube, ranked by Alexa as the 4th most popular destination on the web and the 2nd most popular search engine, has recently announced it's serving more than a billion views per day. A BILLION!
Check out the cool welcome clip Youtube offers newcomers:
What are the implications?
- People are getting used to watching online video.
- People have come to not only enjoy online video, but to trust it as a medium.
Or In the words of Chad Hurley, CEO and Co-founder of YouTube:
"Clip culture is here to stay:
Short clips are voraciously consumed and perfect for watching a wide variety of content."
What does this mean for ecommerce?
These high levels of acceptance and adoption are making video a de-facto must-have for eCommerce sites that wish to remain relevant in the online environment.
Quoting Internet Retailer again:
"Online video has emerged as a key component of successful online retailing that can not only engage consumers and lead to sales, but build store traffic and reduce customer service calls."
The article gives examples of high-end, full productions videos such as Sears has done for back-to-school season with Disney star Selena Gomez but also delineates how different types of product videos, for different budgets, have proven effective for all level retailers.
…But video isn't only for "the big boys"
You don't need to be a mega store like Sears with a mega star like Gomez to see results from the addition of video.
A case in favor is EyeBuyDirect, One of the webs foremost suppliers of eyewear and a longtime Treepodia client, whose CEO Roy Hessel reports having:
"an overall 30% increase in product page conversion rates" with the addition of online videos.
How about you?
With videos impact on ecommerce and social media kpis so blatantly obvious it's time to ask yourself what are you waiting for?

Working on Challenges is an Adventure
Interview with IdeaConnection Problem Solver Raj Shankarappa
March 20, 2012
Raj Shankarappa is originally from India and came to the United States for his PhD. For more than 15 years he worked on HIV, and more recently has embarked on a number of challenges for IdeaConnection.
What I liked when I first look around the IdeaConnection website is that it caters for a whole spectrum of ways of generating ideas, such as prior art searches and Idea Rallies; it is everything for everybody, a smorgasbord of an idea factory.
For people who work on problem solving challenges, it's a great opportunity to expand their knowledge and to contribute. I have worked on a couple of projects through IdeaConnection and the wonderful thing is that it has taken me into areas and directions that I would never have gone.
Working on different projects leads you to have ideas that you would never have thought of otherwise, and if I was an employer I would definitely encourage my people to do something like IdeaConnection. I think Google lets its employees spend some of their time on personal projects; it's a good opportunity for people to diversify.
Tackling the Problem
Sometimes when working on a problem it's not always obvious at the outset what is required, because the descriptions are not clear. That's not anyone's fault, it's just the nature of things. It is difficult to get a clear idea of what a client is looking for unless you spend some time working on the problem and conducting some research.
Over time it becomes clearer and clearer. When I have been working on a prior art citation search I have been amazed at some of the knowledge that has accumulated over time.
Great Opportunity
Overall my feelings about my time with IdeaConnection are that, first of all it's a great opportunity to get to know other things. It's an adventure really, and a nice break from doing whatever it is that you are doing. The money is equally important, and I was very happy to receive the money for my successful research on synthetic genes; the timing was just right.
Although I have not worked on a team challenge yet, I would like to, but it depends on what is available.

The Royal Wedding (Photo: AP)
The wait is over. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their first child. According to St James's Palace: "The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that the Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby".
With no word yet on whether the royal infant will be a boy or a girl, it's perhaps too premature to engage in a "will-they-won't-they" debate over whether they will choose to circumcise their offspring , as was once a royal tradition.
But how did the Jewish communtiy react in 1982, when William was born? Well, as the JC reported on June 25 1982, we were rather excited.
"Sir Immanuel Jakobovits, the Chief Rabbi, and Mr Greville Janner, QC, MP, president of the Board of Deputies, have both sent congratulatory messages to Buckingham Palace on the birth of a son to the Prince and Princess of Wales.
Mr Janner sent a telegram wishing the Royal Family "a hearty mazel tov" on behalf of the Jewish community, while Sir Immanuel extended "heartfelt felicitations" on the birth which gave "boundless joy to millions." The Anglo-Jewish Association and Ajex have also sent greetings for the future well-being of the new prince."

Longtime staidum public address announcer Davies resigns
A new era starts at PNC Field tonight, when the reconstructed ballpark hosts its first game since Labor Day 2011.
With that new era, though, the stadium will lose its familiar voice.
Longtime public address announcer John Davies said Wednesday that he has resigned the post he held since Lackawanna County Stadium officially opened in 1989.
Dean Corwin, an area radio personality perhaps best known as the radio play-by-play announcer for University of Scranton basketball, is the interim public address announcer and will be behind the microphone tonight when the Scranton/Wilkes-Barre RailRiders debut against Pawtucket, team president and general manager Rob Crain said.
At some point, Crain said, a tryout will be held to find the next full-time voice of PNC Field, but he added that the job is Corwin's for "the foreseeable future."
"We are sad to see John go," Crain said. "He is a great guy, and we have a great relationship together. We loved having him, and we are looking forward to our next PA announcer."
Davies sat behind the mic for 1,641 games at the stadium, and his signature style of announcing made names like Mickey Morandini and Jon Zuber some of the most imitated in the history of the franchise.
But Davies said Wednesday during a phone interview that with the RailRiders' return home to PNC Field, there came some change with which he didn't want to deal.
Namely, he said franchise officials want the public address announcer to play a bigger role during the game, which includes the announcements of more sponsorships of things like innings, hits and home runs. Simply put, Davies said the next public address announcer is going to be asked to talk more during the games than he ever had to in the past.
"I just felt uncomfortable with the new script," Davies said. "It's just different than what I had done for 23 years.
"There's no animosity whatsoever. I wish the club all the best."
He said he counts the home opener in 1989, the run to the Governors' Cup championship series in 1992, the 1995 Triple-A All-Star Game and the championship season of 2008 among his greatest memories with the Red Barons and Yankees.
"I wish I made a diary," Davies said. "There were a lot of great memories."

Insomniac Files Trademark for "Sunset Overdrive" - NewsArthur Kabrick, posted on 27 February 2013 / 1,404 Views
In the last few days, independent development studio Insomniac Games has filed a US trademark for Sunset Overdrive, under the categories "Computer game software" and "Entertainment services, namely, providing an on-line computer game".
The domain http://www.sunsetoverdrive.com is registered by Ryan Schneider, Insomniac's Director of Marketing.
Insomniac has made no official announcement on the matter, but it seems likely that this is a game in development at the studio, whose only current known project is third-person shooter Fuse, which is set to be released this year on PS3 and Xbox 360. This generation, Insomniac has tended to develop two games at a time, and it seems possible that Sunset Overdrive is the second game currently in development, and potentially a PS4 title.

How to Show Someone That You Love Him
If you are in love with a person, then this article is surely going to help you. You need to know the correct way to show him that you love him. But you should be careful, you don't want your to-be spouse to become your never-to-be. Here are a few steps that can help you to do something that will make him feel that you love him.
This article has been tagged as a stub.
That means it's off to a good start, but still has room to grow into a more helpful resource. Until the article reaches its full potential, it will be hidden from search results. Can you help it flourish? If you think the article offers complete and accurate instructions, feel free to remove this tag.
1Make him your friend. This point is really very important and difficult, too. But you need not worry.
2To become friends, try to look beautiful. Not by caking your naturally beautiful face with name-brand products, but rather try to stick to a more natural look. According to a study, boys are more attracted towards girls which use less makeup on their faces eg.use lip-gloss instead of those thick and waxy lipsticks.
3Try to be in front of him as much as possible.So that he might get an image of yours in his eyes.
4Have a smile whenever he sees you. Giving a smile means you are friendly in nature. However, do let him know if you are feeling a bit down. It would give him an opportunity to cheer you up and bond!
5Talk, text, email, IM, or phone him when possible; try not to be excessive.
6And when he has become your friend, try to make yourself his closer,and then closest friend.
7And finally when you feel that the distances between you have disappeared,tell him what exactly do you feel.
Community Q&A
- Try to be friend with his friends.It can play an important role in influencing him as they can help you. But beware that they aren't misusing you in any way.
- Use a lot of eye contact.
- Try spending time with him.eg.a coffee,inviting him to your Birthday parties etc.
- But remember never let him make you disrespect yourself. Your well-being is important as well!
- Act wisely and playfully.
- Talk politely and never show any arrogance or attitude to him.Boys hate this.

"Educational Values and Values Education: The Classroom as Community" will be the theme of this year's Empowering Teachers Program Summer Institute (July 12-16) and will address values issues in the classroom—a topic that educators have struggled with for years. Hosted annually by Sarah Lawrence College's Child Development Institute (CDI), this year's program has attracted the interest of international educators.
Participants in the Institute will attend lectures and panel discussions throughout the week and work intensively in small groups to examine the six principles of the New York State Code of Ethics for Educators, issued by the New York State Education Department in December 2003. They will report on their group-work at the end of the week.
Jane Andrias, noted leader in the progressive public education movement, will open the Empowering Teachers Summer Institute, held on the Sarah Lawrence campus, on Monday, July 12 at 11:30 a.m. with a keynote address, open to the public, entitled "Reflections on Teaching: Relationships, Possibilities, and Power."
The Empowering Teachers Program Summer Institute is a weeklong professional development workshop designed for educators working with children in early childhood education and public elementary school settings. Expected to attend this institute are six Venezuelan and two Ghanaian educators who will share their experiences with peers in their countries.
The values based theme of the Institute is undoubtedly a draw for local and international attendees. Jan Drucker, Director of the Empowering Teachers Program says that the Institute "will address how teachers can keep the classroom focus on values of collaborative work when the school culture emphasizes students' individual accomplishments, through methods such as standardized testing. We will also look at how values are taught in a didactic way as well as the ways values explorations arise organically in the classroom environment."
The Empowering Teachers Program is hosted by Sarah Lawrence's Child Development Institute (CDI). The Child Development Institute (CDI) was established in 1987 to develop programs for early childhood and elementary school teachers, administrators, child development professionals, parents and the community at large. Through its work, CDI presents a progressive perspective on child development and education. For more information about the CDI and its programs, please call (914) 395-2630.

Business, Labor Take On Arizona
The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is in an unusual alliance with liberal groups in Wednesday's Supreme Court case challenging an Arizona law that penalizes employers who hire illegal immigrants.
The chamber has teamed up against the Legal Arizona Workers Act with allies including the American Civil Liberties Union, the Service Employees International Union and a Latino group that Justice Sonia Sotomayor once helped lead. The Obama administration is sending the government's top litigator to assist the chamber's lawyer.
"It's a rather compelling story to have all these groups that usually are on opposite sides come together," said Robin Conrad, who heads the chamber's litigation arm. "There's a big commonality of interest."
The chamber spent $50 million to help fund the Republican wave that seized control of the House last month and put conservatives atop state legislatures across the country. The Arizona case puts the business lobby at odds with one of those new Republican leaders, Russell Pearce, president-elect of the Arizona State Senate and sponsor of the employer-sanctions law.
"This is where the left and the right have joined hands on the back side," Mr. Pearce said. "The left wants cheap votes. The right wants cheap labor."
Mr. Pearce, 63 years old, is a former sheriff's deputy first elected to the state legislature in 2000. "I was a tea partier before the tea party was cool," he said.
While Democrats are his principal adversary, Mr. Pearce also cited fellow Republicans he said carry water for a business community that puts "profits over patriotism." The day will come, he said, when "these folks are going to have to decide, when they take their money from big business, which side they really are on."
Mr. Pearce's best-known bill, signed into law in April, requires local police to pursue suspected illegal aliens. That law is on hold while Arizona appeals a federal judge's finding that the state measure usurps federal authority. Its ultimate fate could be foreshadowed by the fate of the employer-sanctions law, which the justices are expected to decide by July.
Eliseo Medina, SEIU secretary-treasurer, said the tea party "is not just alienating Latinos and immigrants, they are starting to alienate businesspeople." Labor hopes that split will give unions "more opportunities to work with businesspeople," whose interests are more "economic" than "ideological," Mr. Medina said.
As Republicans prepare to flex their new power, the Arizona case signals these underlying tensions between the party's traditional business constituency and the activists who helped fuel its November victories. For instance, 61% of tea-party followers—like 65% of union members—believe free-trade policies, a top business priority, hurt America, according to a September Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.
Moreover, many tea party leaders want to diminish federal authority in favor of more robust state governments. Corporations generally favor uniform national economic regulations and have pushed Congress and the courts to pre-empt state laws they find burdensome in areas such as banking and drug safety.
"Even people who believe strongly in the power of state governments" should recognize that sometimes "there are reasons for federal pre-emption," said Hans von Spakovsky, a former Bush administration official now with the Heritage Foundation. "That's the whole point of a federal system."
For the Supreme Court, Wednesday's case comes down to an ambiguous passage in the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act. In laying out federal penalties for hiring aliens without work permits—up to $2,000 for a first offense—the law says it takes precedence over any overlapping "state or local law imposing civil or criminal sanctions (other than through licensing and similar laws)."
Passed in 2007, the Legal Arizona Workers Act requires local prosecutors to investigate complaints that "unauthorized aliens" are working in their communities. Unless they find the complaint "false and frivolous," prosecutors must file suit in state court to suspend the employer's business licenses. First offenders face a temporary suspension. A second violation triggers the "business death penalty," revoking corporate charters and other licenses necessary to operate in the state.
Lower courts have found no conflict with federal law. But the chamber's Ms. Conrad contends that Arizona interpreted the exception in the 1986 law too broadly and created a "shadow regime" where state prosecutors and courts enforce their own harsher version of immigration law. "We recognize the frustrations that some states have" over immigration policy, she said, but employers need "national uniformity" in hiring rules, not a "patchwork" where each jurisdiction devises its own, she said.
"Arizona has the right to protect its citizens and its employers from those who fudge and cheat," Mr. Pearce said. "The wink and the nod has gone on long enough."

Guess which celebrities die horribly in the new red-band trailer for 'This Is The End'
"This Is The End" looks crazy.
This is another of those moments where I sort of can't believe what studios are willing to greenlight, and I thank god someone's a big enough lunatic to make the films I want to see.
I know "Your Highness" didn't do big money at the box-office, and I couldn't care any less. I got to see it, and if no one else dug it, I still got to see it. I am delighted that Universal was willing to spend their money on a film that seems so ridiculous when you describe it that it sounds like an April Fool's Day joke that got out of hand, with no one willing to admit that they were kidding all the way through the day of release.
"This Is The End" has had a long strange path to get to the screen, starting life as a short film that was a student project. The film, for those who still don't have it on their radar, deals with the end of the world as experienced by a group of soft Hollywood actors who hole up in James Franco's house to try and survive. The cast is all playing themselves, but exaggerated versions of themselves, and you get a real sense of that in the opening half of the new trailer for the film that just came out today.
