I completed three drafts of my novel before I realized that the best way to tell the story was through a first-person narrator. Daniel Peters is both the novel's main character and its constant point-of-view. I hope readers find him interesting and sympathetic. I did, of course, while I was writing The Stages. But I also found him, at times, irritating, stubborn, self-absorbed, childish, goofy, and melodramatic. Still, fundamentally, I liked him, and I trusted him to tell the story in his own way.
Part of Daniel's "way" stems from his being an adult with Asperger's Syndrome. He is socially awkward, prefers isolation, has difficulty reading the signs that everyone else seems to get. And his interests are severely limited. Essentially he cares about two things: his work translating the Danish philosopher Søren Kierkegaard and solving the mystery of who killed his former girlfriend. He doesn't have time for much else. He hates chit-chat. He has a routine he always follows (like dinner in Town Hall Square every night at the same time) and he wishes that murder and burglary hadn't come along and disturbed his regular pattern.
Throughout the novel Daniel struggles, but in the end he emerges a better person–more generous to others and more grateful for his own life.

As i was browsing lifehacker the other day I stumbled across this cool article:
Fill Out This Daily Checklist to Avoid Neglecting Your Personal Needs
I was thinking it would be awesome to have something like this to track our primal\paleo nutrition and exercise progress.
Are there any google docs gurus on the board up to the challenge of creating one specific to the primal blueprint?
On a side note I downloaded the MDA IOs app from the Itunes store but everytime I launch it, it crashes. Anyone else having this problem?

The Effects of Mechanical Deadspace on PaCO2 in Patients Receiving Lung Protective Ventilation
C Hinkson RRT, M Benson BS RRT, L Stephens RRT, S Deem MD Department of Respiratory Care, Anesthesiology, and Medicine, Harborview Medical Center, University of WashingtonBackground: Lung Protective Ventilation (LPV) using tidal volumes (Vt) of 4-6 cc's/kg/ (predicted body weight) has been shown to reduce mortality in patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury (ALI). Standardized use of the lower tidal volume has raised new concerns about the appropriate configuration of patient ventilator circuits, especially with regards to mechanical deadspace.
Hypothesis: We hypothesized that the removal of all mechanical deadspace from a ventilator circuit on a patient receiving LPV would result in a reduction in PaCO2 and allow a reduction in minute ventilation (VE).
Methods: We prospectively tested 3 different ventilator circuit configurations: Standard hygroscopic moisture exchange filter (HME) with 6" flex tubing (1), 6" flex tubing only (2), no HME or flex tubing, wye adapter to inline suction catheter elbow (3). Patient selection: All patients met the American-European conference criteria for ARDS/ALI, were receiving LPV strategy, > 18 years of age, and hemo-dynamically stable. The study was approved by the Investigational Review Board (IRB) and informed consent was obtained prior to any data collection. The order of the configuration was randomized and patients were not undergoing any procedures and were reasonably calm during study. After 15 minutes with each circuit configuration an ABG was drawn from an indwelling catheter and ETCO2, FeCO2, VCO2, RR was measured using Novametrix CO2SMO Plus! Monitor, Model 8100 (Novametrix Medical Systems, Inc. Wallingford, CT). Physiologic dead space (Vd/Vt) was calculated using the Bohr equation. Vt, respiratory rate, PEEP, and FIO2 were constant throughout study.
Results: Seven patients were studied (n = 7). Removal of the HME from the circuit configuration resulted in a fall in Vd/Vt of approximately 6% (p = 0.004), and PaCO2 fell by approximately 5 Torr (p = 0.01) (Figure). Removal of the HME and flex tubing from the circuit configuration resulted in an additional 5% reduction in Vd/Vt (p = 0.002) and a 6 Torr reduction in PaCO2 ( p = 0.009) (Figure). Across both interventions, VE fell from a mean of 11.51 L/min to 10.35 L/min (p = .008), and pH increased from 7.30 to 7.38 (p = 0.002). VCO2 did not change significantly.
Conclusion: In patients who are receiving smaller tidal volumes (4-6 cc's/kg/PBW) removing all the mechanical deadspace results in a reduction in PaCO2 and an increase in pH at a lower VE. This information will help guide ventilator circuit configuration for patients receiving LPV.

Tralee Golf Club Goes Out like a Lamb, Roars in Like a Lion
When many people think of playing golf in Ireland they fashion wrong-minded ideas that the courses are all a hundred or more years old, fashioned a century or more ago by the whims of Mother Nature and maintained by grass-eating goats rather than mowers and trained turf tenders.
Tralee Golf Club Plays Through Oceanside Dunes
But in most cases, the courses - especially those on the coast open to the elements of sea, sand and wind - were built using a combination of the best aspects found on the sites and the handiwork of skilled golf course architects with an eye for turning a rough jewel into an unforgettable place to play the Grand Game.
Such is the circumstance with Tralee Golf Club, an outstanding Arnold Palmer-designed venue on Barrow Point, some eight miles from the busy - but not too busy - town of Tralee along the Emerald Isle's southwest coast.
Tralee Golf Club opened for play in 1984, making it an infant compared to other famous Irish links such as Ballybunion and Lahinch. It was Palmer's first design in Europe, and helped establish the King's architectural prowess outside the United States. Very little earth was moved in the building of Tralee, a fact reflected in the course's motto: "Created by God, Designed by Arnold Palmer."
Tralee Golf Club
The original Tralee Golf Club was founded in October 1896. The current course is the fourth to bear the club's crest of sailing ships, dunes, a castle turret and a rose above crossed golf clubs. Each of the club's three previous layouts was set in the town of Tralee (in the neighborhoods of Mounthawk, Fenit and Oakpark) and plagued by heavy rainfall, making the courses unplayable in winter.
Though it is close to Tralee, Barrow - as the course at Tralee is called by locals - has a remote feel to it, and the porous sandy soil allowed Palmer and his design consultant and friend, the late Ed Seay, the chance to build a links-style routing that is enjoyable year-round.
No. 2 at Tralee Golf Club
Don't be Distracted by the Vistas
Par- 72 Tralee Golf Club stretches 6,991 yards from its back set of four tees. The strip of land on Barrow Point upon which the course was arrayed is a mixed geographical bag. Cobbled together out of numerous smaller pieces of farmland, the site not only provides all the ingredients of links golf - hard, fescue greens, undulating fairways and punishing rough - but also some of the perks of its volcanic geography.
It has some very high dunes, wide white-sand beaches, inlets and some of the most eye-popping backdrops of mountains and ocean you will see in all of Ireland. Scenes from the Oscar-winning film "Ryan's Daughter" were shot on the beach alongside the second hole.
The links features several rollercoaster holes, bunches of treacherous traps, and greens that are undulating but not severely so. There are numerous blind shots; a half-dozen sightlines off the tees that appear to be different than they are and more than one putting surface that breaks uphill or away from the ocean counter everything the eye and logic dictate.
After a very long and straight 404-yard, par 4 opener, players encounter the beach-hugging, dogleg-right second, a 596-yard par-5. The hole sweeps off a tall dune to the fairway guarded along the left by an ancient three-foot-high stone wall and on the right for several hundred yards by gnarly seagrass on terrain that pitches and rolls atop waves of sand. Views from this hole seem to take in Ireland's entire southwest coast and its coastal mountains.
The Approach to Tralee's Daunting 12th
The 194-yard, par-3 third hole hugs the same beach and contains the ruins of a Norman castle tower - likely built in the 13th century - perched on the cliff behind its green. The tower features a gothic-arch doorway and a "murdering hole" through which boiling oil and huge rocks were dumped on unwanted invaders. In the near distance across an ocean inlet are the ruins of another castle that dates to the 12th century.
From here players also see the Dingle Peninsula and the tip of Mt. Brandon, named after the great navigator, St. Brendan, who was born in 484 A.D. in the vicinity of Barrow. His name has appeared in ocean maps down through the centuries; many believe he discovered America before Columbus.
The sixth, seventh and eighth holes (a pair of mid-length two-shotters sandwiching a 157-yard par-3 that is collectively called "Palmer's Loop") offer further intersections of history and exhilarating golf. On this stretch are found the ruins of a 16th century castle gun tower built to protect what was then English land against a marauding Spanish Armada.
Below the seventh tees players will observe the remains of a dock built by wine and brandy smugglers who would ship their goods in from Spain under the cover of darkness.
The 13th Green at Tralee Golf Club
Back Nine a Test for All Skills
Tralee Golf Club has a split personality - the gentler (but still wonderful) outward-nine morphs into an inward half that ranks among the most demanding collections of golf holes anywhere. Palmer hit the bulls-eye when he remarked, "I designed the first nine, but surely God designed the back nine."
After passing in front of the clubhouse and surviving the 474-yard par-4 10th, the golfer then disappears into another world, one of extraordinarily wild and massive dunes. Desperately daring carries are the order of the day through the next seven holes; they are not for the weak of heart nor players not supremely confident in their golf game and abilities.
On the 595-yard, par-5 11th a precise drive to the base of a sharp rise leaves a blind second that must avoid a low stone wall that juts diagonally in toward the fairway from the right. The hardest hole at Tralee is the 461-yard, par-4 12th. It looks like something off one of those fantasy calendars, where artists dream up impossible golf holes. Here the tee shot is downhill to a narrow landing area flanked by bracken' a steep fall-away swallows shots aimed too far left. Excepting the tee shot here, the long approach over a valley to an elevated and plateaued green with a nasty back-to-front slope is the hardest shot on the course.
No. 16 at Tralee Golf Club
If there's another signature hole at Tralee it's the 159-yard, par-3 13th, which is played from a heightened tee to a wide but very narrow green backed by a steep hill covered in thick bracken. The tee shot must carry Brock's Hollow, a deep chasm whose floor must be at least four stories below the putting surface.
One of the best short par-4s on the planet is Tralee's dogleg-left, 300-yard 15th, which requires a prudent club choice for positioning off the tee to a left-bending but level fairway. From there, a short-iron must be threaded inside a narrow, dune-defined chute to an elevated green ringed by heather, bracken and more dunes. It is a terrific hole.
The 199-yard 16th, aptly named "Shipwreck," is the last of Tralee's sumptuous one-shotters. It is played from an elevated tee down to a green nestling in the dunes with the sea along the right, a crater in front and dunes left and back.
Tralee's 17th Hole from the Tee
The clubhouse provides commanding views of the course, with the towering Slieve Mish (Sliabh Mis in Irish) Mountains as a backdrop and vistas of the Atlantic Ocean. The vistas of Fenit Island and the Kerry Coast out the dining room windows in the clubhouse are priceless, as is - quite frankly - the entire experience at this wonderful place.
Tralee Golf Club is not a super-difficult course and, on many holes, it's possible to spray the ball and still score well. Other holes are more punitive, but no golf trip to Ireland would be complete without a round at Palmer's Irish masterpiece.

ABC shuts down vocal protesters who hijacked Q&A
- From: Herald Sun
- May 05, 2014
RADICAL student protesters hijacked ABC's live Q&A program and called for Federal Education Minister Christopher Pyne to "get out".
Mr Pyne took two questions from university students who identified themselves as members of the Socialist Alternative.
One heckled the minister as he tried to answer questions about whether he'd like to see Australia's university system become more like that of the United States.
The program was shut down after a two minute protest with the live feed cut to a pre-taped musical performance by Katie Noonan.
In the midst of debate about university fee deregulation, students unfurled a banner and chanted "No cuts, no fees, no corporate universities" and "Chris Pyne, get out, we know what you're all about; cuts, job losses, money for the forces."
"Does this mean you won't have me again?" Mr Pyne asked host Tony Jones.
The program returned with host Tony Jones apologising to the audience and the panellists for the interruption.

That was typical of the leftoid rent-a-crowd who expect the Australian community to prop them up financially so they can remain professional students all their lives. Hail Christopher Pyne - put a razor through their funding and if they want an education, they can bloody well pay for it. My daughter has two degrees and she is paying for both of them via HECS - but she worked every single day of her 8 years at University to pay her bills. I am so sick of these loony left parasites who think that they live in the Age Of Entitlement and that we hard-working taxpayers should fund their lifestyles.

Democracy is the right to protest is rubbish. Democracy is the right for BOTH sides to give their point of view. Anarchy/Socialism is my view is right yours is not worth listening too. It souinds like there are too many people in our society who received their education but paid no heed to it. People really should understand what they are touting before speaking as it makes them look as silly as they are when they do not. Some of the comments here show that very clearly.

More money for the forces. Whats wrong with that? They neeed it more than uni students.

CityGML is a common information model for the representation of sets of 3D urban objects. It defines the classes and relations for the most relevant topographic objects in cities and regional models with respect to their geometrical, topological, semantical and appearance properties. Included are generalization hierarchies between thematic classes, aggregations, relations between objects, and spatial properties. This thematic information goes beyond graphic exchange formats and makes it possible to employ virtual 3D city models for sophisticated analysis tasks in different application domains like simulations, urban data mining, facility management, and thematic inquiries.
CityGML is an open data model and an XML-based format for the storage and exchange of data. It is implemented as an GML application schema for the Geography Markup Language 3 (GML3), the extendible international standard for spatial data exchange issued by the Open Geospatial Consortium (OGC) and the ISO TC211. CityGML is intended to become an open standard and therefore can be used free of charge.
The OGC Members adopted version 1.0.0 of CityGML as an official OGC Standard in August 2008.[1] In late 2011, the OGC Members approved version CityGML 2.0.0.

Expect More Ads to Follow You Around the Web
We have all had the rather unsettling web experience where ads follow you as you move around the web from site to site. Done crudely, alas as it often is, it feels rather like cyber-stalking.
The technique, known as re-targeting in the ad business, is gaining in popularity, but according to researchers it may not be particularly effective.
MIT's Technology Review carries a report from Catherine Tucker, an MIT Sloan School of Management professor, who has examined the whole sector and found it wanting.
In an experiment with an online travel firm, for example, she saw that ads tailored to a specific browsing history were, on average, less effective than generic ads for the site when shown to people who had recently visited. "You've been to the website and looked at the products. There's probably a good reason why you didn't buy it," she says.
However Ms. Tucker is not suggesting advertisers give it up re-targeting, far from it, but they just need to get better at it.
Even showing a retargeted ad by filtering how long ago a person last visited a site is a piece of information not often used today. A person who visited an online flower shop is more likely to buy flowers the following day, not two weeks later. On the other hand, a car company may have more time to influence a shopper.
With the increasing significance of mobile, and products such as Facebook Home pushing ads onto your device's lock screen, expect ads that not only follow you from website to website, but from device to device.

Disclosures: None reported.
I fully agree with Dr. Walsh's comments that cost is an essential element of public accountability for graduate medical education (GME). This is especially true since public money is used to fund GME programs. In fact, most discussions of GME accountability have been driven by proposals to decrease public funding of GME. The creation of accurate and reliable accountability measures as discussed in my commentary would in large part be used to drive a portion of public funding to programs and institutions that meet desired training outcomes.
As Dr. Walsh underscores, measuring the costs of GME is not completely straightforward. Some costs, such as the "direct" teaching costs reported on annual Medicare cost reports, are easier to define. These include a portion of trainee and faculty salaries and benefits and a portion of teaching-related overhead costs. Much more challenging is the calculation of "indirect" costs, the additional costs of teaching institutions ascribed to the involvement of residents and fellows in patient care. Most challenging, however, is the measurement of the increased (or decreased) revenue received by health care institutions and providers due to the patient care provided by resident and fellows.
Despite the challenges, I agree that more careful cost analyses of GME are both feasible and necessary. The key, however, will be to ensure that all costs and all revenues are captured. In the meantime, GME measures focusing on competence, the learning environment, and workforce outcomes can be initiated immediately to incentivize better GME outcomes and provide public accountability.

Give me a museum and I'll fill it.
Artspoken 12×12 Opening
My little poppy paintings were hung in a great location in the front room, all together -- I loved how they looked there. There were a lot of nice paintings in the gallery -- some darling little happy flower paintings also in the front room -- in acrylic with wood-burning, if I remember right, lots of nicely done representational pieces -- landscapes and still lifes -- a few lovely abstracts, and some gorgeous photos here and there.

And now? Now those unoriginal jerks at Shea Stadium have found a new way to violate Red Sox Nation, stealing Neil Diamond.
That's the word from Joy of Sox today, which passes on information likely to anger Fenway bleacher bums everywhere.Yep, you guessed it -- the New York Mets have stolen the Red Sox "Sweet Caroline" tradition, playing the song during the eighth innings at all games at Shea Stadium.
Here's the on-the-ground report from Matt at Metsblog.com, which passed the story on to Joy of Sox:
I'm embarrassed to say that my favorite team, the Mets, is ripping off your favorite team, the Red Sox, by conducting a sing-along to Sweet Caroline during the middle of the eighth inning at all home games at Shea Stadium.
In my view, this is sad, because the sing-along is clearly a Fenway special, so to speak. I'm trying to get my readers to rally and lobby the team to stop ripping off Red Sox Nation.
So, what do you think, Red Sox fans? Are you angry? Are you meeeeeean? Or am I overreacting here while flipping out that another Fenway tradition has been stolen?
Honestly, folks, what's next at Shea? "Dirty Water" getting played during warmups? "Tessie" getting played after a win? I can't take this. I don't even like Neil Diamond, and I still feel violated.

CBS president may move to big picture position
Nancy Tellem is thinking about the future, both her future at the Eye and the future of television programming and distribution.
Tellem, prexy of CBS Television Studios Entertainment Group, is mulling a shift to a different exec role, one that would be less about day-to-day management and more on the big strategic picture for TV shows and other content.
Tellem oversees the entertainment aspects of the CBS network and its sibling TV studio. She's been discussing the possibility of making a change with CBS Corp. boss Leslie Moonves. Eye insiders stressed that no decision has been made yet and that the decision is entirely Tellem's to make.
Tellem has been Moonves' right-hand lieutenant for nearly 25 years, since the two first worked together at Lorimar TV in the mid-1980s. She's respected in the biz as a no-nonsense dealmaker who has been central to the Eye's success under Moonves.
Tellem has been actively engaged in the past few years in sorting through the myriad new media and international licensing options for Eye-created programming. She's known as the Eye's inhouse expert on the business side of digital media, so it would not be a surprise if she segued to a role focusing specifically on this evolving realm rather than the traditional TV and series production biz.
CBS declined to comment.

The console war is fought everywhere these days, but the internet seems to be where people are most vocal. It also serves to give each console its own set of downloadable content, fuelling the war even more. Each week we'll give you a run-down of what's available to download on the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Wii, and declare a winner.
Note: This round-up is based on UK releases to each console's online service. Releases outside of the UK could vary.
PlayStation 3 - PSN
With the PlayStation Store currently undergoing some major enhancements there are no updates this week, so we'll skip straight onto the Xbox 360.
Xbox 360 - Marketplace
This week the premiere game for Xbox LIVE Marketplace is undoubtedly Ikaruga. This classic shmup comes to the 360 complete with online co-op play, practice mode and online leaderboards. It's considered one of the best shmups ever made and for good reason. Playable game content elsewhere is actually rather slim, with only a demo for SEGA Superstars Tennis and two Poker Smash add-ons being an option for bullet dodging noobs.
The Halo 3 Legendary Map Pack ViDoc is well worth a look too. As is always the case with these mini documentaries released by Bungie, the production quality is superb and you get a good insight into the making of the new map pack.

0. phoneArena 26 Feb 2013, 04:02 posted on
Samsung is a huge success. The company was responsible for almost 40% of the entire smartphone market for 2012, and a large portion of that number is from Samsung's Android devices. It's hard to ignore Samsung, and it looks like Google can't ignore it either. A new report says that Google is worried about Samsung's dominance and could be using Motorola as defense against Samsung controlling the ecosystem too much...

Where as stock android is simplified and beautiful , touchwiz is colours colours everywhere . Like a f**king kinder garden .
You noticed that the menu that come up when you pressed the menu button is different ? In nature its light blue and only reaches have of the screen so you have to scroll , while in stock its grey and reaches the top of the screen if the list is long .
Also every time I pulled down the notification drawer I get annoyed , the quick toggles will move . Why is that so ? That's annoying .
Sense is elegant

Very well said :) I especially agree with: "android is only as good as it's top manufacturer and that's Samsung." Nail on the head!!
I hope these are all just rumours that aren't true. Surely Google knew that at some point in the future there will be one dominant OEM, just like there was in WM, Symbian, Windows etc... Things are NEVER equal, there is always that one or two OEMs who find a winning formula, and leave the rest fighting for scraps.
I'm pretty sure that as we speak, Samsung is in talks with Google, NOT just to take more money but also to further help develop Android, I doubt their relationship is going to be damaged due to Samsungs dominance, if anything this could help strengthen it if dealt with in the correct manner.

I prefer myx's (the apple fan) fanboy one sentence comments than your long, boring, ignorant, brainwashed, samsung a$$-kissing comments. samsung fanboys are worse than apple's.
And what do you mean WE? you speak for the world now? I like samsung products but other OEMs are trying their best, take off your blindfold and welcome every product that others are showing, don't brush them off just because there's no sd card, removable battery, yada yada. Samsung ain't perfect, they still have to improve a little, just a little more effort on build quality.
Chill little man, the world doesn't revolve around samsung. you should get out more.

Other OEM'S are trying their best to do what??? create less storage because Google says so, Trying to do what force OEM'S to develope devices with no ability to remove the battery and oh yeah installing crappy chrome browser which is garbage to say the least. Please ny friend if other OEM'S were really trying to do their very best the closet manufactuerer to Samsung would have more than 6% market share and that manufactuerer Hauwei has worst products than Motorola, Htc, Lg, and Sony. Stop posting comments if you have NO CLUE...

I guess thr r more samsung fans than android. I dont think moto is thr backup plan cause outside US it doesnt exists and google made sure of tht secondly rightnow no1 has the presence around the world as samsung other than Nokia and it was thr arrogance tht pushed Nokia to WP.
Samsung will push to tizen eventually but it will not happen overnight first samsung will introduce tizen on low end devices than to mid range devices and durin tht time they will build tizen ecosystem and when they will feel tht their ecosystem has good porfolio they will dump Android.
Goolgle should look closely and I think they r with LG buyin WebOS and Samsung lookin at tizen havin just moto will not cut for them they will hav to take the bitter pill and invite Nokia to Android.

You don't want any company having too big of a market share in Android because then that company will try to dictate how Google should run things. You don't want the created taking control away from the creator. Being Samsung has so much weight behind it, they can try to force Google to do certain things that would benefit their company, or they'll take their business, and millions of users, elsewhere. Google is right to try to balance the playing field more.
As for Googles' acquisition of Motorola, they've been very straight forward and honest in the role Motorola will play. They haven't shown ANY special treatment towards Moto in any way, and let Moto operate independently just like it were any other OEM making devices for Android.
If Google and Samsung split tomorrow, I'd go with Google all the way. Samsung is nothing without Android, at least here in the U.S.. Samsungs' Bada is virtually nonexistent here and their Windows Phone market share is peanuts compared to Android.

I think almost everybody share the same sentiments....I will immediately ditch my loyalty towards them should they travel a different route.

Google CANNOT ballance the playing field because they don't have control over what any of the other manufactuerers as far as what they make. Google has enough issues of it's own which they should focus more on. The problem with GOOGLE is exactly what the problem is with APPLE now they think they can tell someone what to do or what not to do because Samsung is the one generating all that revenue for Google compared to all the current OEM'S. let's face the facts rather anyone like Samsung or not that's your choice that's why android is open source. But that doesn't take away from the fact that Samsung sold 213 million smartphones in 2012 and they own 40% of the market share. Samsung has earned that right Google didn't help them creat one device, Google didn't help them with software, marketing, or development of any devices Samsung did that all on their own. Rather people like Samsung or not they are android plain and simple and if you don't like it then purchase from someone else Samsung will be just fine because 90% of it's customers are lock stock and barrel behind Samsung 100% and won't purchase NO OTHER ANDROID DEVICE PERIOD. And don't even think of all that silly Google will pull it's services from Samsung cause if they did that Samsung will still survive they can make all the services Google provides that's why Google is huffing now. Samsung stood up to Apple and Samsung will stand up to Google as well with all the antitrust problems and issues Gogle has with the FJC and other agencies the last thing they need to do is bite the hand that feeds them. If they do you can KISS ANDROID GOODBYE......

Are you stupid or what ? You know that the majority of the smartphone buyers will choose Samsung no matter what and you said Google didn't help Samsung at all . But you have the realize touchwiz is based on android ! And Google owns android !
For example : if you are using my name as a restaurant franchise (let alone software ) then I have the right to dictate you what to do !
To use Google apps android manufacturers gave to sign an agreement , so this give Google power and control over them !
I think I am just wasting my time here , you should go back to your mother land Korea and continue to be a Samsung slave

This is the sign where Samsung is going down sooner or later. WIth this type of arguments could really topple a phone manufacturer. It is good that google should take a serious action to prevent Samsung to be monopolized in the global market of Android. Anyway I'm bored with android right now. It is time to change into a new OS maybe windows phone 8 looks attractive especially Nokia Lumia 920 or maybe blackberry OS z10 or maybe the mozilla OS. Those look new. Better than the old boring Android that I have seen for 5 years
38. rusticguy (Posts: 2828; Member since: 11 Aug 2012)
I am bored of android too. I want UBUNTU :)
50. christumaini (Posts: 27; Member since: 25 Oct 2012)
think its a bad move to go for windows os(WP) over ANDROID,
with WP you ll just get bored within a week(dont be tempted with MS adverts and so forth).
Just wait for the later"coming soon" options with mozilla and ubuntu OS (maybe they can fit to compete with android)

I have Samsung devices but I'm in no way loyal to them. If they cut out Google services and the play store, i'll cut Samsung out.
43. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I think that if Samsung did this would be equal to suicide, they aren't using their position to get attention of their other projects, forking android would be a retarded move of them it could kill their market on the spot, as many of the things that work best are the ones that Google provides, anyways with this I hope we can see a great add campain following the Motorola X release, maybe it can actually blow minds and is aviable Worldwide, one phone can make the change...
46. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
Yep, definitly more Samsung fangs then android fans in this one. Some of you aren't seeing the bigger picture. Google bought Android as a way to get more ads in front of more people. When Samsung started making alternatives to Googles services, it cut into Google revenue and the deal Samsung just signed with Visa is proof of that. How does Google Wallet work if Samsung devices are the only ones allowed to use Visa? The Music Hub and S Voice are also taking money from Google, so why wouldn't they do what they can to make sure less Android users are using Google alternatives. It's not like they blocked Samsung from doing anything, they're just making sure their sole intrests in Android is being protected. Do you really believe at some point Samsung won't start pushing its own OS over Android? And if they stopped making Android devices at some point in the future what happens to Androids marketshare? Even if Samsung only conviences half of their loyal fans to switch to their home brewed OS, that's a hit of 20%. Google is being smart and you guys know it.
65. protozeloz (Posts: 5396; Member since: 16 Sep 2010)
I think the deal with visa and many samsung services have come by simpli because google has failed to deliver products outside US (wallet, music, video etc) anyways I'm all for the Motorola X phone becoming something awesome
73. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
With Google Wallet, I kinda agree with you there, but look at all the push back and blocking they've face with it. Like the carriers getting together to make their own version of NFC payments. VZW is even worse by blocking Google Wallet all together. Idk man, I'm wondering if Google may need to follow Apple model and forbid OEMs from skinning and adding their own apps. They can always put it in the Play store.
86. richardyarrell2011 (banned) (Posts: 510; Member since: 16 Mar 2011)
This comment makes NO SENSE what so ever. Samsung has ever right to look out for it's business and services they provide to it's end users. It was Verizon who blocked GOOGLE and it's Google Wallet not Samsung in the first place. The Verizon Galaxy Nexus doesn't have access to Google Wallet why is that because Verizon says so but meanwhile Sprint Galaxy Nexus has access to Google Wallet what does that tell you????? Samsung has played by all the rules just like every other OEM should they be punished because they are more disciplined and profitable than other OEM'S of course not. Google pays 10% of android to Samsung do you actually think 10% is adequate for all the revenue Google gets from all 213 million Samsung devices sold and 40% market share??? Thats just like going to work every day and your boss tells you that you will recieve no bonus based on a perfect evalutaion for all the work you have done for an entire year just pat you on the back acting like your appreciate when in all reality you have just been used. Google has financially earned plenty of cash off of Samsung and it's overall success their should be more given to Samsung for all of it's efforts after all they are the one's keeping android a float while all the other OEM'S are sitting around making flop after flop of devices and wondering why nobody purchased their devices.
92. Whateverman (Posts: 3262; Member since: 17 May 2009)
You either misread or didn't really read my comment and that's why it doesn't make sense to you. I said VZW blocked Google Wallet in my comment. Google owes Samsung nothing, this was a lot of money made by both parties, but Samsung is getting greedy.

Pull those reigns, Google!

How has google infringed on Samsung's territory? I thought the Droid X or whatever is supposed to be the FIRST phone to show the Google/Moto team. But Samsung has been taking a lot more of google's business of lately, or at least tried to. I like samsung, I can't wait to get my hands on the galaxy 8.0 since it's the only one that has all the things that I require on a tablet, but so far there has been no foul play on google's side. The Nexus line is not being produced by moto so until it does there is really no reason to bitch about google trying to take the whole market.
64. Jyakotu (Posts: 844; Member since: 12 Dec 2008)
Thus, this is why Nokia did not enter the Android market. They would get overshadowed by Samsung easily. Not to mention, the fact of the matter is, when it comes to US carriers, most Android smartphones are Samung, whether they're low-end, mid-ranged, or high end. Very few HTC, LG, Sony, and Motorola (sans Verizon and its DROID line) devices are on all the carriers. Hell, majority of Sprint's Android line up is Samsung, with a sprinkle of HTC, LG, and Motorola.

HTC and Motorola team up to make a Kick-Ass Android Device but Dreams like that don't happen.......... Ever!
70. speckledapple (Posts: 892; Member since: 29 Sep 2011)
I can really see how they would do this. There is no doubt that Samsung is bringing the pain with its devices. Motorola would be able to hold off that charge and keep it in Googles hands. WIth so much force behind it, it will be interesting to see if some turmoil happens in Android camp that causes a boost to WP or BB10; not to mention Firefox, Tizen, and Ubuntu. I just love competition.

I hope Nokia is never invited to Android. Worse phone I ever had was a Nokia. Had 4 phones defective and had to replace. Nokia sucks in my opinion.

China's Guan Tianlang, who turned 14 last week, shot a 6-under 66, including eight birdies, for a two-stroke lead Thursday after the first round of the Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship in Bangkok.
The winner of the tournament earns a spot in the 2013 Masters and into international final qualifying for the Open Championship at Muirfield. The runner-up also is exempt into final qualifying for the Open.
Daniel Pearce of New Zealand shot 68 over the 7,231-yard course at Amat Spring Country Club. Natipong Srithong of Thailand, Senapaa Chikkarangappa of India and South Korea's Lee Soo-min, last year's runner-up, each shot 69.
Two-time defending champion Hideki Matsuyama, who has made the cut in the past two Masters, shot 71. The No. 1 amateur in Asia, who has won a tournament on the Japanese professional tour, was tied for 10th.
Guan won by 11 shots in his age division (11-12) last summer at the junior world golf championships in San Diego. Guan was the youngest-ever winner of the China Amateur Open last November, and at this year's China Open in April he became the youngest player to ever compete in a European Tour event.
The tournament is run by the Asia Pacific Golf Confederation, along with the Masters tournament and the R&A.

Wailuku Main Street Association may have violated county grant agreements and federal tax requirements and failed to follow its bylaws and did not keep close tabs on its executive director, who should be fired, according to a report from the state attorney general's office.
A scathing 11-page report from the state Attorney General's Tax & Charities Division, released Tuesday, details the division's several month inquiry into the operations and governance of the nonprofit that has received more than $2.2 million from the county since 2002, the vast majority of its funding.
The report cited nepotism in hiring, lobbying in violation of its grant contract, conflicts of interest, little evidence of program services and a "terribly confused" structure of governance.
Wailuku Main Street Association, tasked with promotion, preservation and restoration of culture history and architecture of Wailuku, faced an investigation by the state attorney general's office, after former board members publicly said that longtime Executive Director Jocelyn Perreira had refused to provide them with key documents and information about the organization's operations and finances.
"WMSA has failed to comply with its governing documents and policies in numerous respects, and WMSA appears terribly confused about its corporate structure," according to the preliminary findings detailed in the report.
"It appears that the directors have violated their statutory duties of care in numerous respects, including but not limited to delegating (or largely abandoning) governance of the organization to the executive director, and not exercising proper oversight of the executive director," according to the report.
Article PDFs
Perreira and board attorney Kevin Jenkins both referred comment on the report to WMSA Board Chairman Thomas Cannon on Tuesday.
In an email responding to the report by Supervising Deputy Attorney General Hugh R. Jones, Cannon said that the board has not had an opportunity to thoroughly review and discuss the report.
However, an "initial review is in nearly complete disagreement with its analysis and conclusions," he said.
Cannon called Jones' information and conclusions "erroneous," adding that the board already has taken remedial measures proposed by Jones.
"What is clear from this report is that there is no missing money, no malfeasance, no misappropriated funds, and our history shows consistently clean yearly audits from no less than five notable auditing firms, including an A-133 Management Audit that helped the organization set the direction and safeguards for financial accountability," Cannon said.
Although Cannon said WMSA will respond to the report "point by point in the future," he said Jones was biased and relied only on questioning of a disgruntled former employee and disgruntled former board members.
Cannon alleged that Jones is in possession of WMSA property not included in a subpoena but used in his "interrogation of our executive director." Cannon said that the property Jones has was allegedly stolen from WMSA's office. Cannon did not say what the alleged stolen property is.
For his part, Jones said in the report that his findings are "preliminary" because as of the date of the letter, WMSA had refused to produce additional information requested by the attorney general.
The state's report lists recommended "remedial measures" for the board to "re-assert control over the proper and effective governance, operations and program services of WMSA as a tax-exempt charitable organization."
Those measures include: removing Perreira and recruiting a qualified successor through an open competitive procurement process, reviewing and revamping some of its bylaws, not engaging in proxy voting and developing board policies in 12 different areas within 90 days.
The board also must engage in bona fide strategic planning and adopt a strategic plan within 12 months.
All policies will need to be reviewed and approved in advance by the state attorney general's office. The letter does not say what will happen if WMSA does not comply. A call to the state attorney general's office on Tuesday afternoon was not returned.
Cannon said that the call to remove Perreira is a "moot point" because the board has been forced to temporarily lay off Perreira, which will be effective soon, due to a lack of sufficient funds. He cited a breach of contract by a primary WMSA client, who has not paid the organization for work performed, as the reason for the temporary layoff.
Cannon added that other office staff also recently have been temporarily laid off because of a lack of funding.
Cannon defended Perreira, calling criticism of her the "most egregious" part of the attorney general's report. He called Perreira "an outstanding WMSA employee for 26-plus years." He noted the numerous accolades, her experience and consistently outstanding evaluations.
"It is highly unlikely that we could find a qualified successor to our ED (executive director.)," he said.
For her part, the attorney general's report says that Perreira "repeatedly testified that any dysfunction, violation of policy or other oversight was the responsibility of the directors and officers of WMSA not hers."
Besides the inquiry from the state, Wailuku Main Street also faced pressure from the county Planning Department this year, which sought a more detailed accounting of how the organization was spending the county grant money.
Copies of the report from the state attorney general's office, dated Thursday, were sent to Jenkins and to the county Planning Department, because Maui County is "virtually WMSA's sole-funder" and "the matters discussed in this letter are relevant" in determining compliance with past county grant agreements, the report said.
According to the report, WMSA receives about 95 percent of its funding from the county.
In the county's 2013 fiscal budget, WMSA was not funded; its $243,000 allocation was set aside for small town-planning.
Mayor Alan Arakawa, who made the request to set the money aside, has said that the move was not for or against WMSA but was done as a precaution while the state investigated the organization. The County Council followed Arakawa's request during its budget deliberations.
County spokesman Rod Antone reiterated Tuesday that the administration wanted to "keep the money safe while we are awaiting the AG's report, and we have."
In response to questions from The Maui News about whether the county would accept future grant proposals from WMSA and whether the county would take action against WMSA if violations were found, Antone said those matters were being handled by county attorneys Tuesday. He did not elaborate.
The report does outline at least two cases where violations may have occurred with the county grant contract.
The county agreement calls for the "grantee" to have a "governing board whose members have no material conflict of interest." The report said the board failed to adopt a meaningful conflicts policy, which puts WMSA "in significant risk of violation of county grant restrictions."
The report also said the board needs to adopt a conflict policy because "WMSA's external auditor's spouse is apparently an architect and has done volunteer work for WMSA, and one or more of the directors are also licensed architects or engineers or have clients or employers (that) may have projects subject to WMSA review."
The report added that the county's grant agreements also prohibit using county funds for lobbying. WMSA frequently testifies before the Maui County Council in support of or against specific legislation, and WMSA staff spends time preparing written testimony, the report said.
WMSA also meets with council members and staff.
"Such activities constitute 'direct lobbying' '' under applicable Treasury regulations, the report said.
The report also noted that the organization's IRS Form 990 for 2010 states that WMSA does not engage in lobbying.
Other preliminary findings include:
* The board failed to comply with its own bylaws in many instances and engaged in nonpermitted proxy voting at board meetings.
* The board failed to formally adopt fundamental policies to protect the organization from risks and threats despite informing the IRS it had done so, putting the organization's tax-exempt status at risk.
* The organization's 2009 and 2010 IRS Form 990 appears to have inaccuracies.
* The organization has engaged in prohibited political intervention by making an illegal contribution.
* WMSA's liquid assets (last publicly reported at $256,000) are not invested but remain deposited in a noninterest-bearing bank account in excess of FDIC insurance limits, contrary to professional advice.
In response to the misuse of proxies issue, Cannon said in his email that the only votes that were affected by the misuse of proxies were the votes in favor of Jones' "witnesses" - the disgruntled ex-board members - becoming WMSA officers.
The state report also says that WMSA has shown little evidence of actual program services in the last two years. No organization staff has any design or architectural expertise or degrees. WMSA has not contracted for any such expertise despite that a core function of WMSA is to formally review construction and development projects, the report said.
Arakawa and the planning department have questioned the WMSA's program services and have asked several times for more information. That information has been withheld by WMSA citing confidentiality, the report added.
The report said that the "apparent absence of concrete program services appears to have allowed WMSA to build up a significant reserve of over $250,000 from county/taxpayer funding."
The report also notes that the other senior employee of WMSA is the executive director's daughter, who has been employed by WMSA for 15 years as an accountant/office manager and was hired "at the recommendation of the CPA" in violation of WMSA's anti-nepotism policy, which the board retroactively modified after her date of hire.
Compensation paid to the executive director, her daughter and other employees total $156,916, according to the 2010 IRS 990 Form. The funds appear to be the bulk of WMSA's monthly operating expenses, aside from office rent and accounting expenses, the report said.
According to a 2010 IRS 990 Form, Perreira received annual compensation of $96,207. The organization's revenues documented in the IRS form for that year was $251,636, all from grants.
The report added that WMSA made a campaign contribution to Friends of Alan Arakawa when Perreira and her spouse attended a political fundraiser/gala for the mayor at the Grand Wailea. A WMSA check dated May 5, 2011, was signed by Perreira.
Campaign contributions by tax-exempt charities are strictly prohibited, the report said.
In testimony during the state investigation, Perreira said she was instructed to attend the event by the board. WMSA maintains in the report that it did not know this event was a political fundraiser, although it was logged in Arakawa's report to the Campaign Spending Commission.
Arakawa's campaign officials said Tuesday that once Arakawa found out earlier this year as a result of the state investigation that the Friends of Arakawa received the campaign contribution from WMSA, the Arakawa group returned the contribution to the nonprofit organization. Those officials said that the attorney general's office told them that it was not illegal for Arakawa's political group to accept the funds, but the campaign returned the money anyway.
The Maui News obtained the state report from the county through a Freedom of Information Act Request. The report was released to requesting media Tuesday morning.

Friend miscarried, gift?
A friend from out of state sent me flowers when I miscarried. It was so sweet. It meant a lot to me. My sister sent me a horseshoe shaped necklace that I wore whenever I was sad.
Flowers would be a nice gesture. but the gift of your time would be better. We lost our little girl last month and I had very little support from my family. A friend very unexpectedly stepped up to the plate so to speak and her love and support is what got me thru. Saying "if you need me, I'm here" often isn't enough. Remind her of it. People often won't reach out for help. I know I would not have done so but my friend was persistent and kept asking what she could do. Sometimes all I really wanted was a hug.
mom to Brian 3/07, Kevin & Patrick 4/09, angels Elisabeth ^11/12^ and Kacey ^1/14^ and our rainbow Finn 12/30/14
Also eating was the last thing I wanted to do. No comfort food in the world would have helped.
mom to Brian 3/07, Kevin & Patrick 4/09, angels Elisabeth ^11/12^ and Kacey ^1/14^ and our rainbow Finn 12/30/14
Also, being "reminded" of my losses is not a bad thing. I think of my Gabriel every day. It warms my heart to know that others are thinking of him too.
But, as a PP said, everyone grieves differently. And they also can grieve different from one day to the next. Feel your friend out.
Sometimes it is nice to just have someone with you. You are a really sweet friend.
Mama to J(20), Gabriel, born still 7/10/07, 5 little angels, & Rainbow Baby S born 5/7/9!
I actually didn't like flowers. I've had five losses. My parents sent me flowers the first time. It was a nice gesture and I appreciated the thought behind them. But I hated walking through the room and seeing the flowers there knowing they were because of my loss. Simple notes sent were much better since I didn't have to read them over and over, just once. I agree with something edible. I'd send some good chocolates.

JERUSALEM, Israel - Six Israel Air Force soldiers and a Romanian soldier died during a training exercise on Monday, when their helicopter crashed and burst into flames in rugged mountain terrain.
Four pilots and two aviation mechanics made up the Israeli crew on this flight.
Early Tuesday morning, IAF crews were able to descend from a helicopter and make their way on foot to the crash site, which is near the town of Zarnesti, about 60 miles northwest of Bucharest.
They secured the site, which was declared a closed military zone by Romanian authorities after the crash, and are awaiting a search-and-rescue team from Tel-Nof Air Force Base, which should arrive later on Tuesday.
IDF rabbinical staff are traveling with the team to help gather and identify the bodies.
A spokesman for the local police force said "corpses, as such, had not been found," but chunks of the helicopter and some human remains had been seen in the area.
The crew aboard the Sikorsky CH-53 military helicopter had been flying in a two-aircraft formation in central Romania's Carpathian Mountains on Monday afternoon when they lost visual and radio contact with the other chopper. They had been navigating the steep mountain range at a low altitude during somewhat inclement weather.
Teams of Romanian security forces, local police, and medical personnel joined efforts to reach the crash site along a steep ravine.
Late Monday night, the IDF released the names of the six Israelis who were on board the fatal flight.
They are Lt. Col. (res.) Avner Goldman, 48; Lt. Col. Daniel Shipenbauer, 43; Maj. Yahel Keshet, 33; Maj. Lior Shai, 28; Lt. Nir Lakrif, 25; and Staff Sgt. Oren Cohen, 24.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu extended condolences to the soldiers' families on behalf of the entire nation. Defense Minister Ehud Barak was informed of the accident when he landed in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday morning.
IAF Commander Maj.-Gen. Ido Nehustan phoned his Romanian counterpart, Maj.-Gen. Ion-Aurel Stanciu, and the two agreed to form a joint commission to investigate the accident.
The IAF and Romanian Air Force have been conducting joint military exercises for the past six years. This year's 11-day search-and-rescue exercise, called Blue Sky 2010, began July 18 and would have finished at the end of the week. It has been cut short, and soldiers will return home on Wednesday.
Deputy Air Force Commander Brig.-Gen. Nimrod Shefer said the IAF participates regularly in joint training exercises with Romania and other countries to "train our pilots to fly in new and unfamiliar terrain."
The CH-53 Sikorsky, called Yasouf by the IAF, has been used since the 1960s. The IAF began upgrading the dependable heavy-lift cargo chopper in the early 90s, changing to titanium blades and adding new avionic, navigation and electronic systems.

Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio speaks to the media in early September after learning the U.S. Justice Department is suing Arpaio saying the Arizona lawman refused for more than a year to turn over records in an investigation into allegations his department discriminates against Hispanics.
For those of you who want to do your part to protect the border, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has just the career opportunity for you.
Arpaio, who's known throughout the country for his zero tolerance of illegal immigrants, plans to commission a "volunteer armed posse force" equipped with "appropriate hardware and gear" to assist in enforcement against illegal immigration and human smuggling in his Arizona county.
The sheriff's plan is mentioned in this news release about his deputies arresting 23 illegal immigrants being smuggled on Tuesday night.
It's hard to tell if this is a serious move by Arpaio or a media stunt by a man who enjoys being in the spotlight. Or maybe, in these difficult budgetary times, he just needs some cheap labor.
Nonetheless, an armed posse of volunteers roaming the streets of Maricopa County hearkening back to the gunslinger days of the 19th century surely will draw some concerns.
It wouldn't be the first time Arpaio has gotten into trouble.

WON: Menomonee Falls volleyball standout Simone Lee helped the United States win a silver medal at the FIVB U18 World Championships in Thailand on Aug. 4. The United States lost to China, 3-0, in the final but still posted the country's best showing in the event, which dates to 1989. Lee, a senior outside hitter, finished third on the team with 14 blocks and fourth with 46 kills.
INVITED: Milwaukee Hamilton's boys basketball team will play in the 17th annual National Guard High School Hoops Showdown on Jan. 25 at Hinsdale (Ill.) Central. The Wildcats will face Lisle-Benet Academy.
NUMBERS RISE: Participation in high school sports increased for the 24th straight year, according to the annual High School Athletics Participation Survey conducted by the National Federation of State High School Associations. The national total of 7, 713, 577 participants for the 2012-'13 school year is an all-time high.
Eight of the top 10 girls sports showed increases led by competitive spirit squads (8,201) and outdoor track and field (4,172).
Five of the top 10 boys sports showed increases as well, leading with outdoor track and field (5,044) and swimming and diving (4,354).

County sees more building
Jason Ferguson
Published: Thursday, October 25th, 2012
Construction is on the rise in Custer County.
As the economy slowly recovers from the recent crushing recession, construction is following suit, with building permits pulled in the county on the uptick in the past couple of years.
Through Oct. 16, 134 building permits had been pulled in Custer County, nearly the amount of permits that were pulled the entirety of last year, which was 140. Of the 134 taken out this year, 63 have been for new homes in the county, which already has surpassed last year's figure, 62. There have also been two more commercial structures built than a year ago.
David Green, Custer County planning director, said he believes the rise in construction is related to the slowly recovering economy. However, also a product of the economy is the size of the homes. Green said in the past couple of years, there has been a trend of people building smaller homes. This year, the average home built so far has been 1,894 square feet, which is down from last year.
"I think the trend is to smaller houses," Green said.

Florida State Fan Trolls Florida Fans With Jello
This is a genius way to troll Florida fans. Not only did this Florida State fan find the numbers 4 and 8, but he purposely found the "and" from another isle. The two numbers alone would have sufficed but he wanted to drive the point home. Sometimes the opportunity presents itself and you have to take it.
It just doesn't get any better than this. pic.twitter.com/sUibZ6ccpu— TJ Pittinger (@TJ_Pittinger) August 5, 2014
