Vocal on Gay Issues, Dean Goes Beyond Classroom
Steve Salbu, dean of Georgia Institute of Technology's Scheller College of Business, says he is the only openly gay dean at a top U.S. business school. As a result, he feels a duty to speak out for openness and equality for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students and professionals.
Though Mr. Salbu is at a relatively small school—Scheller has just 71 students in the first-year class of its full-time M.B.A., 415 more in an evening version and 1,332 undergraduates—he hopes to expand his platform on LGBT issues.
That has become more feasible since the Atlanta-based school cracked the top 25 on Bloomberg Businessweek's M.B.A. ranking in 2010.
But a larger stage brings with it more competition, particularly for top students and star faculty.
"We have gone from being a highly regarded regional business school to a business school that is playing in the big leagues," Mr. Salbu says.
Mr. Salbu spoke with The Wall Street Journal about maintaining a focus on technology while joining the top tier of business schools, why he isn't rushing to offer an online degree and why he wouldn't recommend students follow his lead in announcing his sexual orientation during job interviews. Edited excerpts:
WSJ: You've been very vocal about LGBT issues in business schools. Why raise the subject?
Mr. Salbu: Business schools have become much more hospitable to LGBT students, and many more students are coming out. However, every year the number of students who have emailed me privately to talk about this aspect of their lives is significantly higher than the impressive number of students who are openly LGBT.
I've tried to be as visible and active as I can. I think that visibility is the key to eventually making more students comfortable coming out.
WSJ: Have you had any negative reactions to that approach?
Mr. Salbu: I am certain that there are stakeholders at every school who philosophically differed from me on issues of sexual orientation. But what I've always banked on is that they will respect my freedom of speech in an academic environment and they will separate my personal views from the job I do.
Any time I have interviewed for positions in higher education, I have always immediately identified myself as openly gay. What I tell them is if this is an issue for you, I will not take offense. But if it's an issue, it's not a good fit, so let me know. [Most] people don't really care. What they want is someone who can do the job really well.
WSJ: Would you recommend your students come out to a prospective employer?
Mr. Salbu: I don't think I would. I have the luxury to do it. I'm 56 years old, I would be very happy to stay at Georgia Tech for the rest of my life. I realize I may be turning people off, I realize it may be closing doors.
I would tell [students] to be very strategic. I would recommend that students ask questions, at the appropriate time in the interview process, about whether the company has LGBT affinity groups, domestic-partner benefits, an antidiscrimination policy.
There will be professional advantages and disadvantages to coming out. In my opinion, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. Talent is a scarce commodity and if you're going to attract the best talent, you better be welcoming to people regardless of gender, regardless of ethnicity, regardless of sexual orientation. If you fail to do any of those, you're artificially constraining the talent pool and you'll be penalized in the long run.
WSJ: You've said that you want Scheller to be "the world's pre-eminent business school for management and technology." How will you compete with schools that already have more brand recognition?
Mr. Salbu: While we have been increasing the size of all of our areas, we have had a special focus on information-technology management and operations management. We went from four tenure-track information-technology management faculty when I arrived in 2006, to 10.
Other top universities that have a very strong technological [reputation], places like Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Carnegie Mellon, have gone beyond niche strategies. They are more broadly competing with the world's highest-ranked business schools, which tend to have a model of general management. That leaves room for us to focus.
It also means attracting students who have a high degree of technological proficiency. It's not uncommon for 60% of our M.B.A. students to be engineering students. Putting those people out into the marketplace and developing a reputation for building the best managers in technological environments is going to help take us to that goal as well.
WSJ: The business school announced last summer that it had received a $50 million donation from alumnus Ernest Scheller Jr., and completed another $20 million in matching funds in December. How are you using the gift?
Mr. Salbu: The business school's endowment in 2009 was roughly $30 million. This will more than triple the endowment.
When everybody was retrenching [in 2009, when the first phase of Mr. Scheller's gift was disclosed], we were in a unique position to do very aggressive recruiting. We've grown our faculty from 53 tenure track faculty in 2006 to 79 tenure track faculty.
WSJ: With application volumes declining in traditional two-year M.B.A. programs, what other revenue lines do you have? Are you considering expanding online?
Mr. Salbu: Some of our decline in applications is self-cannibalization. Our evening M.B.A., created in 2007, has been a resounding success. We also have two executive M.B.A. programs.
If we do an online M.B.A., my guess is it'll be the next dean's idea, not mine. I'm very curious to see, at top-20 schools that are offering online M.B.A. programs, how that offering affects their regular M.B.A. programs. One possible avenue is that the traditional M.B.A. will be unaffected by the online offering. The other scenario is that your full-time applicants are put off by the idea, saying that it dilutes the reputation of the full-time program.
With online, the draw [for students] is going to be what you have to offer. You can let someone else work out the kinks.

We have just returned from a two week stay in Denzil's apartment and would recommend it to anyone who wants a clean, comfortable, quiet place to come back to after a day of sightseeing in busy NYC. Denzil was a friendly and helpful host and also respectful of our privacy when we wanted that. The location is great - close to the light rail station and bus stop to the Port Authority and we felt safe walking at any time. The supermarket across the street was an added bonus.
All five stars! It was really a pleasure to stay in Denzil's and his wife Joyce's apartment in Hoboken, New Jersey. Peaceful, stylish, modern home and the room & bathroom for visitor(s) is very good. When I was looking for an accommodation in NYC area I didn't know how nice it was to stay in Hoboken: quality area and the transportation to NYC is effective.
The best stay we have had on our US holiday. Denzil & Joyce were wonderful hosts.. the best ever!! A lovely location and easy to get to NYC. The room and ensuite were very and we felt like we were staying with friends. A wonderful stay in Hoboken New jersey.
The apartment was very clean and nice! Denzil and his wife are very friendly and helpful! We can only recommend this apartment!!
Thanks for everything!

Anyone see this on NHL.com
Anywho interesting they have us Wings having to give up Helm in a deal for Nash. Everyone says trade or give up Flip or Franzen for this or that. Might be no teams want them currently.
IMO Helm is a vaulable asset and would you package him in a deal for Nash? Not sure if I would. I won't mention other names as this thread is for Nash. Also by that article NYR have some major assets and seem like they are the likely choice but why hasn't it happened yet is my question.
I'm all for "breaking a few eggs" to get Nash, but I wouldn't trade Helm. He's brings a lot to this team, especially during the playoffs.

New Study Reveals Disparities in Major Depression Treatment
January 5, 2010
A new study in the Archives of General Psychiatry reports that approximately one-half of American adults living with major depression do not receive treatment for the illness and that Mexican Americans and African Americans are the least likely to get treatment.
The report is based on data from three surveys conducted between 2001 and 2003 with a total of 15,762 participants.
Existing research has indicated that many Americans living with depression go untreated, but the new study is the first to examine subgroups of large ethnic and racial groups and reveal disparities in care. One interesting finding was that psychotherapy rates were highest amongst Mexican and African Americans, which indicates that this kind of therapy may be more accepted in these groups.
NAMI also recently released a survey on major depression and launched a new, interactive Web site that includes resources for different cultural groups.

Stacey Cook treated her family to quite a show in Lake Louise.
With her mom and dad in attendance - making the trip to Alberta from their Sierra Valley home - the Truckee native followed up her first-ever podium Friday with an identical second-place finish behind teammate Lindsey Vonn in an Audi FIS Alpine World Cup downhill Saturday.
"I hope this is the tip of the iceberg for me," Cook said of her back-to-back downhill podiums. "My coaches have told me that I'm like a fine wine - that I get better with age, and it's true. I just hope the body holds out with the age. This has been a long time coming and I'm just now starting to believe that this is actually happening."
The reigning champion U.S. women's speed team placed six athletes in the top 20, as Squaw Valley skier Julia Mancuso finished ninth, Alice McKennis was 11th, Laurenne Ross 18th and Leanne Smith 20th.
Vonn came back from the brink of disaster to win her 55th career World Cup, matching the great Swiss Vreni Schneider for second in the all-time wins list. Austrian Annemarie Moser-Proell holds the record with 62.
Already .24 behind, Vonn went wide on a sweeping turn before the midway point of the course, losing valuable time. But she nailed the bottom of the run to take a .52 second margin over Cook and extend her win streak on the Canadian Rockies course to six.
"There was a second there that I actually thought I might win this thing, but Lindsey is amazing," said Cook, who posted a time of 1:53.42 to Vonn's 1:52.90. "When she made that mistake my heart actually stopped for a second. She's amazing. She's the only athlete that could stop on course and then still win."
Vonn said she caught the inside of her ski and almost went into the fencing, but she managed to recover. She said she's never won a race after committing such a major mistake on course.
"Over the last few years I've really worked on getting stronger, and that helps recover from mistakes like that one. It's not the way you want to ski, but it helps my confidence to know that I can recover from them," said Vonn, whose win marked her 13th all time at Lake Louise.
Vonn and Cook are one-two in the downhill standings.

It's hard not to be impressed by America's Beauty Show's Runway shows. This year featured headliners Angelo Seminara presented by Davines, Beth Minardi, Mark Hayes & the Sassoon Creative Team presented by Wella Professionals, Nick Arrojo, Farouk Systems featuring Rocky Vitelli, Leonel Rodriguez with special guest Miss Universe Leila Lopes of Angola, Wayne Grund presented by Surface, International Trend Vision presented by Wella Professionals featuring Paul Marallah & Omar Antonio, Sonya & Christopher Dove.
Although I couldn't catch all of the Runway shows, I found that the color/cuts from Goldwell's FasciNATURE Collection were very inspiring. Goldwell's Inspiration and Education Team included presentations by John Simpson, Dimitrios Tsioumas, and Timothy Switzer. I also caught a little bit of Angelo Seminara's presentation where he showed the audience how to create a simple headpiece/hairpiece for one of his models. (In the first couple photos below you will see a before and after photo of this.) Beth Minardi held two different presentations during the day, one exclusive ticketed event in the morning and one mid-day, where she taught the audience how to do an "American Baliage" technique.

I can't believe the numbers you guys are throwin out. Compare him and his scoring to Hudler and then consider Hudler got 4 yrs @ $4m per on the open market.
Guys that primarily put the puck into the net are the hard one's to find.
He played half a season. We don't know what we're comparing yet.
I'd give him a two year deal for 2.25m to prove himself.

I was curious if everyone is still in the old cap level mindset? When we talk about 2 or 2.5 or 4 mil players of the past few years, I think with the whole cap being reduced by 6 mil, everyone needs to adjust those numbers (including the players and their agents).

This. Jordin Tootoo makes $1.9 mil per. We just signed Miller for $1.3 mil. Whether based on potential or on what he actually did, do i have to explain why Brunner isn't just "a little bit more valuable" than those guys?
People assume that the Europeans (well, unless they're Russian) somehow owe it to the team that gave them a chance in the NHL. It's actually the Wings that owe him money if they want him to play here instead of anywhere else next year. Also, he may be a 2nd year player in NHL terms, but his age and international experience suggest he's due for his "prime contract" very soon.
I agree that 2 years for $2.5 or $3 million might be feasible b/c that allows Brunner to build additional value and cash in after 2015.

I think a short-term contract is in the best interest of everyone involved.
Holland would want a short contract because of the uncertainty. Did he plateau? Or is he really progressing? Was it just a weird lockout season? Those sorts of questions might make him hesitant to go long-term.
And Brunner, who is probably itching for his big money contract, has bought into the Wings system. He's changing his style of play and I imagine working with the team staff to better himself. He may want his big money now, but if he realizes he can't get a lifetime contract, a one year or two year deal might appeal to him. Get a chance to prove he's worth that money and not have to risk hurting his development somewhere else.

Hudler is a legitimate top 6 forward, who we shouldn't of let go. Hudler at 4 million is a lot better than Sammy at 3 million. If Brunner wants 3, give it to him.

Look out for a new star in the glittering firmament of great Irish singers: with the release of her new album, In Love + Light, Heidi Talbot is truly set to shine. After five years as lead singer with the Irish-American supergroup Cherish the Ladies, and high praise for her previous solo outing, 2004's Distant Future, Talbot now extends her talents over a broader, bolder musical canvas, in company with a stellar cast of guests. Drawing on the full, diverse spectrum of influences that inform her

A Medina man with a long history of working with children was indicted this week on charges he had sex with two 16-year-old boys, and posted nude pictures of them, while he was working as a Medina firefighter last year.
Jeffrey J. Elsenheimer Jr., 32, of East Center Street, pleaded not guilty Monday after an Orleans County grand jury indicted him on 17 felony counts and a dozen misdemeanors charges. He posted $60,000 bail and is scheduled to return to County Court on March 4.
Investigators who examined Elsenheimer's cellphone last summer found text messages and nude photos of one of the boys that had been sent to Elsenheimer while he was on duty at the Medina fire station, said Joseph F. Sacco, supervising investigator for the Orleans County Major Felony Task Force.
Sacco also said last summer that investigators were told Elsenheimer had performed a sex act on the teen in his village home. Elsenheimer was arrested in late August.
Richard Ferris, legal assistant for Orleans County, said allegations involving a second boy also have come to light since Elsenheimer's arrest. He said the allegations involved eliciting photos on cellphones and sex with both boys during a six-month period from March to August last year. The second boy also was 16 at the time.
Elsenheimer was indicted on four counts of promoting sexual performance by a child, three counts of possessing a sexual performance by a child, and 10 counts of third-degree criminal sexual act, all felonies, as well as the following misdemeanors: six counts of endangering the welfare of a child, one count of official misconduct, and five counts of third-degree sexual abuse.
Elsenheimer was public information officer for the Medina Fire Department for six years and a part-time Orleans County dispatcher for the 11 years. He was removed from his county job and put on paid administrative leave with the fire department after his arrest.
According to information provided online by Elsenheimer, he worked from 2002 to 2005 as a third-grade teacher in the Kendall Central School District. He was a substitute teacher there, District Attorney Joseph V. Cardone has said.
Elsenheimer also posted online that he had worked as a camp counselor and health director at Camp Kenan in Barker.
Camp Kenan Executive Director Mark Albiez said Elsenheimer first was a young camper at the site and later became a counselor, but he had not worked regularly at the camp since 2003.

Can you define these popular missing words?
the sweetest, kindest, most caring person in the world. Everyone would be lucky to have an Ivan in their life. Ivan is everything good. He unlocks parts of your heart that seemed closed forever. He is patient, attentive and all around wonderful. He will do anything to see a smile on your face, and you will want to do anything to see his smile too. When he smiles, it is an amazing phenomena, for a split second everything is right in the world. When he smiles, I smile. His eyes radiate with warmth and kindness. His capacity for love is limitless. In times when others get angry and lash out, Ivan remains calm and supportive. He will hold you tight when you are full of fear. There is nothing better than being in his arms, it is the safest place in the world. In his arms time stands still. He will be your strength in any time of need. An Ivan will caress your face, look deep into your eyes and tell you he loves you with all his heart. An Ivan will tell you that you are beautiful and perfect and amazing, with such certainty that you too believe it is true. In loving Ivan you will also learn to love yourself. Ivan truly is synonymous with love.
What is love?
-Love is Ivan.
-Love is Ivan.

Like nearly every institution in New York, the City University of New York was damaged by the events of September 11. There were 111 students or alumni from John Jay College who died in the attack on the World Trade Center, and 81 from the College of Staten Island. The Borough of Manhattan Community College, two blocks away from Ground Zero, shut down for three weeks, one of its buildings destroyed, the other taken over by rescue teams as a command center. When the school finally reopened, 1,300 of its students decided not to return.
But the personal tragedies and the physical damage were not the only ways that City University has been affected. The university's fiscal well-being, already precarious, was further weakened by the attack.
It is a terrible irony that, in addition to the jolt that the Borough of Manhattan Community College suffered because of the events of September 11, it will also be asked to cut spending by more than four million dollars. This will mean a reduction in teaching staff, which will cause the cancellation of some classes, which will result in even fewer students. Fewer students mean less money in state tuition aid. So, Antonio Perez, the president, estimates his college will lose an additional $20 million in tuition and tuition aid as students leave the school -- not just because of the World Trade Center tragedy, but now because of the cutbacks.
CUNY has an incredible record of success. Nine of its doctoral programs are ranked in the top 20 in the nation. The John Jay College of Criminal Justice graduate program ranks number one in the nation, and Baruch's School of Business and Hunter's School of Social Work are highly rated. Numerous faculty members have won national prizes.
Above all, CUNY is the place of opportunity for the poor and working people of New York. Students who graduate from CUNY are able to become productive citizens with jobS paying taxes, buying homes and raising children in the city.
But the excellence of the City University of New York has not swayed public officials when it comes to the budget. In August, the state legislature passed a bare-bones budget that gave $733.2 million to the City University of New York, down from a billion dollars ten years ago, and an increase of only $2.9 million in state aid from last year. (This included a cut of $4.9 million for the senior colleges and an increase of $7.8 million for the community colleges.) Chancellor Matthew Goldstein had already been lobbying to restore funding to CUNY's senior colleges. Then, on September 11, the situation got much worse. Projections for state revenues for the year spiraled down, and the state supplemental budget that has just been passed did not include CUNY. Because of declining revenues, the mayor has asked most city programs to cut spending by 15 percent during this fiscal year.
These cuts come on top of cutbacks handed to CUNY since the fiscal crisis in the mid 1970s. From 1980 to 1997, CUNY funding from the state decreased 40 percent in constant dollars. In the 1990s, New York State ranked last in the country in the percentage increase in state and local funding for higher education, according to the National Center for Public Policy in Higher Education,
The cuts have had a powerful effect. Between the years 1976 and 2000, the full-time CUNY faculty was reduced by half, from 11,268 to 5,594, so that 60 percent of all classes are now taught by part-time faculty. Tuition increased by 93 percent from 1988 to 1997, putting it above the national average for public universities.
The 11 senior colleges and graduate programs of CUNY are supported by the state, while the six community colleges and the associate degree programs at four senior colleges are funded principally by the city. Because of this funding arrangement, the senior colleges, while not protected from state funding reductions, have been protected from city cuts.
The six community colleges have not been so fortunate and have suffered from city cutbacks throughout the Giuliani administration. In 1990, the city provided 43 percent of the funding for operating costs at the community colleges. It now provides only 21 percent. The difference has been made up by raising tuition. It is now $2,500 a year for a full-time student.
While the mayor recognized the importance of primary and secondary education and assigned only a 2.5 percent cut to the school system, he failed to give the CUNY community colleges a similar reprieve from his 15 percent across-the-board cuts. This means the community colleges will have to cut spending by $19.2 million this year.
These cutbacks will leave CUNY less able to offer the education that New Yorkers need.

Published June 13, 2013
Once swampy grassland dotted with sheep, then a booming center of the nation's economy, Buffalo's Erie Canal neighborhood has lived many lives over the past 200 years and now is giving up some of its secrets.
For the second year in a row, it is doing so through UB's popular Demonstration Archaeological Excavation. The excavation is now open in downtown Buffalo's old Erie Canal neighborhood and archaeologists will be digging away through the entire summer.
The site is directly across Main Street from the "Webster block," bounded by Main and Hanover streets east of the Skyway. The site will be marked with large banners that feature historical photos, descriptions of the area during the last century and descriptions of the dig itself.
The public is invited to visit the site, observe its operation and talk with archaeologists and historians working there about the process of archaeology, what they've found and what it tells us about life along the canal from the early 1800s onward. Artifacts from the excavation and prior excavations will be displayed and discussed in terms of their significance to our understanding of the city of Buffalo from its earliest days.
The site was opened by backhoe on June 5. Hand excavation has begun and will continue until the end of August from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.—cleanup begins at 3 p.m.—on the following days: June 5, 15, 19 and 29; July 3, 13, 17, 27 and 31, and Aug. 7, 10 and 21.
The canalside excavation is funded by the UB Department of Anthropology, which houses the Archaeological Survey directing the dig, and the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corporation as part of the corporation's Canalside Visitor Experience Program. The project also has received assistance from the city of Buffalo and Buffalo Place Inc.
Excavation director Nathan Montague, senior research support specialist in the Department of Anthropology, says he expects the project to produce new artifacts and present new information about the site itself. Visitors are encouraged to return often to check on the excavation's progress
"The mission of this effort is not only to excavate the area but to educate the public about the canal and canal life, generate interest in the canal excavation and restoration work, and help people understand the work of archaeologists in general," Montague says.
"Artifacts from the site will tell stories of the people who lived and worked here when the Canalside neighborhood was the center of Buffalo's—and the nation's—economy," he says.
At its terminus in Buffalo, the canal's main body, plus its many slips and adjuncts, covered a lot of territory. It ran southwest parallel to the harbor and ended at the Commercial (Street) Slip (crafted from Little Buffalo Creek), where it met Lake Erie and the Buffalo River. Montague points out that most of the harbor section of the canal was filled in by the 1930s, which is why we don't "remember" where it was.
"So where we propose to dig is now an abandoned field," he says, "but four- and five-story brick buildings once covered this entire block of land between the canal and the Buffalo Harbor.
"The lower floors of those buildings typically housed businesses like warehouses, wholesale groceries, taverns, insurance companies and hardware stores, while upper floors were used for lodging or storage. Some of the buildings likely were erected in the 1830s and the last ones weren't torn down until about 40 years ago.
"It's hard to say what we'll find down there," Montague says, "but previous digs we've conducted nearby have uncovered pipe stems and other personal items, dinner plates, commercial objects, a lot of brick and mortar, coal dust, ash and something that could be a cannonball or part of a ship's ballast.
"Last summer we turned up building materials, objects related to daily use, ceramics and cups, and parts of children's toys, and parts of tools—all evidence of the daily lives of people living and working here. We will probably find similar items and even may find a few surprises," he says.
The layout and use of this area has changed dramatically over the years, Montague says. Before the canal, this block was part of a swampy area at the bottom of the bluff where HSBC stands today. "People would graze their sheep here," he says.
"Once the canal arrived, products from the west—grain, vegetables, finished items like shoes, etc.—came through here in abundance, as did an enormous range of products from the east headed west. These were accompanied by swarms of people who traveled in both directions and new retail establishments that served their needs. Many, many thousands of people worked here, lived here and stayed in hotels and shopped while they waited to ship out in boats going east and west."
That certainly was one of the city's maritime heydays.
Montague says that after the Civil War, more rail lines came in and the canal traffic began to wane. By by end of 19th century, the importance of this part of the waterfront diminished as a shipping area.
"Eventually," he says, "Italian immigrants moved into what was a tough, high-crime area, and their arrival was marked by diminished crime and the establishment of more residential and commercial activities. But the buildings themselves eventually began to fall apart and by the 1930s Little Italy was moving into the West Side. By the 1940s, most of those buildings were demolished and by the 1970s, it was pretty much finished as a residential or commercial site."
Instead, there was the Buffalo Memorial Auditorium, the Skyway and wide, barren fields.
"It's such an interesting experience for those of us who live here now to be able to connect with a world we don't remember and can hardly imagine," he says. "This excavation is helping to uncover and present artifacts that serve as testaments to a rich and fascinating aspect of Buffalo's history that many of us hardly know."

data mining isn't the most accurate way to track smartphones, as it can be
biased by usage patterns; that said it does give a decent rough estimate of
market share. Market research firm ComScore's latest internet
traffic-based market share
analysis delivers the controversial conclusion that Apple is
the top single smart phone manufacturer in the United States.
Before proclaiming "Apple is #1!", it's important to point out that
this is not a "by operating system" market share comparison. If you
combine the market shares of Motorola Solutions Inc. (MSI),
Samsung Electronics Comp., Ltd. (SEO:005930), HTC Corp. (TPE:2498), and LG
Electronics Inc. (SEO:066570)
(11.4, 8.9, 11.8, and 4.8 percent, respectively) you get 36.9 percent, nearly
50 percent more than Apple's 26.6 percent. Granted, those manufacturers
also sell Windows Phone 7 handsets (Microsoft Corp. (MSFT)),
but that market share is likely only a small percentage of that total.
It's also important to consider that Apple's worldwide sales are still lower than Samsung's and that it's being outsold nearly two-to-one by Android.
In other words, Apple is doing better in the U.S., where Android outsells
it approximately 1.5:1, versus the world where Android outsells it
approximately 2:1.
That said, Apple deserves plenty of credit for earning the top spot in this
ranking -- especially since it only has two relatively old products, the iPhone
4 (12 months old) and iPhone 3GS (2 years old), on the market.
Other interesting observations are that despite all the doom and gloom surrounding Canadian
smartphone maker Research in Motion, Ltd. (TSE:RIM),
it still is maintain a sporty 24.7 percent market share. It's also
telling that Microsoft's favorite hardware partner, Finland's Nokia (HEL:NOK1V),
could only muster a meager 2.1 percent market share.
And then there's Hewlett-Packard, Comp. (HPQ),
who like Nokia is struggling. HP earned just a hair more market share --
2.7 percent. However, unless its plans to license its smartphone OS to third-party hardware makers comes
through big time, it seems to be condemned to a role as a bit player.
Apple, along with Microsoft are suing Android's top handset makers to force
them out of the top spot -- or out of the market altogether. And Apple is
also eagerly awaiting the launch of a new iPhone in September, which is
expected to be a relatively minor refresh.

Very few people buy cars based solely on HP rating, very few people buy computers based on GHz rating, same is true for smartphones.
