Lot # 841 (of 873) < Previous Lot | Next Lot >
1938 R69 "Horrors of War" Original Artwork to Card #47
Starting Bid - $500.00, Sold For - $1,265.00
Original artwork to card #47 entitled "Fierce Wallega Tribesmen Attack Italian Aces." Gum Inc.'s "Horrors of War" series is perhaps the most famous of all non-sport issues. The sensational and often gruesome artwork of the "Horrors of War" set created a tremendous stir when these cards were issued in 1938, literally putting Gum, Inc. on the map, and setting the stage for many successful years of future card production. It is a miracle that many of the original artworks to this set have survived. All of these artworks originate from the family Charles Steinbacher, the art director for Gum, Inc., and have been scattered to the four corners of the collecting world over the past decade since their discovery. Artwork by its very nature is subjective, but a quick study of the designs of "Horrors of War" will reveal this card to be among the most gruesome of the set. This card pictures an abundance of bloodshed. One Indian with a long sharp spear has completely impaled his rather surprised victim, who is helplessly eyeing the entry point of the spear into his chest. The spear can be seen exiting from his back. The incredibly graphic quality of this horrifying encounter distracts the viewer from the many other equally bloody surrounding battles. This is "strong stuff" for youngsters from any era, especially in 1938. The over-the-top violence of card #47 makes this artwork one of the best of the set, and captures the spirit of what made "Horrors of War" so noteworthy in a manner in which few cards from the set can compare. This is one of the very special "high impact" cards of the set which define the series and explain why "Horrors of War" was so controversial when issued. Like all "Horrors of War" artworks, this artwork measures 2.5 x 3.5 inches, the exact same size as the issued card, and is executed in watercolor on artist's board. The artwork is in Excellent to Mint condition, with production-related glue stains on the blank reverse. Reserve $500. Estimate $1,000/$1,500. SOLD FOR $1,265.00

Chef/owner Robert Carter and managing partner Brad Creger are excited to introduce Rutledge Cab Company (RCC), opening for dinner service.
Carter and Creger saw a need for a casual, neighborhood restaurant on the upper peninsula, and worked closely together to conceptualize Rutledge Cab Company. The restaurant is Carters eclectic neighborhood restaurant; it is a nostalgic concept serving craft beers, an innovative approach to cocktails and classic service. Located in Charlestons Wagener Terrace neighborhood at the intersection of Rutledge Avenue and Mount Pleasant Street, the restaurant is a continuation of Carters foray into the casual dining market. From the marble topped bar to the vintage bingo board, the space reflects the charm of the old neighborhood while serving the patrons of this up and coming community, which is conveniently located close to the downtown Charleston bridges and Interstate-26 for customers throughout the greater metropolitan area.
I, along with Brad, am proud to open Rutledge Cab Company and start serving the community and visitors to Charleston, says chef Carter. Our vision was to create a casual, neighborhood spot where you can grab a cocktail or settle into a booth for a full dinner with friends. I believe weve created this type of restaurant and experience and I cant wait to open our doors.
Rutledge Cab Companys all-day menu features charcoal-grilled steaks and seafood, grilled pizzas and grilled wings as well as variations on classic sandwiches including a Reuben and turkey melt, both crafted to perfection using the finest ingredients. The restaurant also serves one of Charlestons only chef-inspired, all-day breakfast menu. Other menu highlights include a shredded lamb pizza with goat cheese, toasted pistachios and fresh herbs; beer-poached spiced shrimp with pickled onion and lime; RCC French onion soup with rye croutons and gruyere; a shrimp-cake sandwich on traditional bánh mì bread; the Fillin Station charcuterie platter; a smoked pork chop with peach relish; and a classic burger. Widely known for his much-celebrated coconut cake, Carter has created a new signature cake for Rutledge Cab Company as well as other desserts, including crispy cornmeal churros with a coffee-caramel sauce and a Le Creuset-inspired chocolate-ganache fondue.
Originally a gas station, the building formally served as Ds Grocery. In addition to the bar and the antique pieces, the focal points of the 3,200-square-foot space also include customized light fixtures, a signature faux alligator door and eclectic artwork. The dining room includes seating for 60 and the outdoor patio seats 70. An ample 45 parking spaces are available for guests in addition to a bike rack for cyclists.
Located at 1300 Rutledge Avenue in downtown Charleston, the restaurant is open daily and begins dinner service tonight at 5 p.m. Shortly after opening, RCC will start all-day service at 10 a.m., with late-night dining as well as brunch service on Saturdays and Sunday. The phone number is 843-720-1440 and website is www.rutledgecabco.com.
About Robert Carter
A 1989 summa cum laude graduate of Johnson & Wales University, Carters first executive chef position was at The Inn at Blackberry Farm in Walland, Tenn. before filling that same role at Peninsula Grill when it opened in 1997. After opening, Esquire magazine named Peninsula Grill one of the Best New Restaurants in America and over the course of Carters tenure, the restaurant garnered numerous national accolades including distinction by Food & Wine magazine as one of Americas 50 Best Hotel Restaurants, induction into the Fine Dining Hall of Fame by Nations Restaurant News, and the DiRoNa Award of Excellence from Distinguished Restaurants of North America. In 2009, Carter was honored with the Culinary Legend Award by the BB&T Charleston Wine & Food Festival and he has served on the board of directors of Lowcountry Local First since 1999. Carter and his award-winning cuisine have appeared on the Food Networks Food Finds, Throwdown with Bobby Flay and Iron Chef America as well as on The Martha Stewart Show, ABCs Good Morning America and CBS The Early Show. Carter has earned a national following and has received widespread acclaim for his sophisticated southern cuisine, defined by a simple approach that bolsters the essence of each ingredient to create extraordinary layers of flavor. Carter opened Carters Kitchen in Mount Pleasant in February 2012, and the restaurant was recently named one of the Best New Restaurants in America by Esquire magazine. Rutledge Cab Company, which opened January 2013, is Carters eclectic neighborhood restaurant; it is a nostalgic concept serving craft beers, an innovative approach to cocktails and classic service.

Columbia County Sheriff's Office
David W. Harrison, Jr., SHERIFF
James R. Sweet, UNDERSHERIFF
Copyright ©2006 Columbia County Sheriff's Office, Hudson, NY 12534
Sheriff's Satellite Offices Opened
January 19, 2007
Columbia County, NY
Columbia County Sheriff David W. Harrison, Jr. announces the opening of four Sheriff's
Satellite Offices in the Towns of Kinderhook, Chatham, Ancram and Germantown. Sheriff Harrison reports that the
offices are located in "each corner", at the outer areas of the county and are fully functional and equipped to allow
Deputy Sheriff's to process arrests and complete reports in the field. Previously, Deputy Sheriff's would have to
travel back to the Public Safety Facility in Greenport to complete reports and process arrest finger printing and
photographing. Each office is equipped with secure computer terminals, which can access sheriff's office servers
at the Public Safety Facility. The opening of the satellite offices now gives Deputy Sheriff's the ability to complete
those duties at five different locations in Columbia County (Public Safety Facility included). Additionally, the
locations can be used to interview victims, witnesses and suspects.
The new satellite offices are located in the town halls of Chatham, Germantown and one which had been previously
partially operational, (no access to Sheriff's servers), since the new town hall opened in Ancram.
Also, in the Town of Kinderhook, Supervisor Doug McGiveny and his Town Board have provided an office in their
newly acquired building on State Farm Road. Sheriff Harrison said that Supervisor McGiveney approached him
with the offer of a place in the building which is being renovated. The county facilities crew painted the room and
found a used desk and other furniture for it. Lt. Thomas Lanphear, who is the Director of Information Technology
for the Sheriff's Office, installed the computer terminals in all of the offices.
With the implementation of the Sheriff's Satellite Offices, Deputy Sheriff's can remain in their assigned areas and
patrol for a greater amounts of time during their shifts without having to return to the Public Safety Facility for
arrests and reports.
Sheriff Harrison thanks Supervisor Doug McGivney of Kinderhook, Germantown Supervisor Roy Brown, Chatham
Supervisor Jesse DeGroodt, and Ancram Supervisor Jerry Roberts for their assistance and support. Additionally,
James Keegan, Chairman of the Board and Supervisors and the county Legal Committee chaired by Angelo
Valentino for their support. These individuals and the members of their respective Town Boards were instrumental
in making the satellite offices come to fruition.
In addition to these four satellite offices, the Sheriff pointed out that there will be additional data entry points in the
Town Halls of Claverack, Stuyvesant and Hillsdale thanks to Supervisors Keegan, Valerie Bertram of Stuyvesant,
Arthur Baer Deputy Chairman of the Board of Supervisors and their Town Board.
Deputy Sheriff's will be able to enter reports, but not process arrests.
Sheriff Harrison also thanked the County Facilities Department for all the work they did in preparing the Kinderhook
Satellite Office.

Check out this cool chart with all the possible shapes, margins, and venations for leaves and their names. Taxonomy rules. (Found at kottke.org.)
It's so sad that such a thing is true. Just like ballroom dancing. I wish that there were opportunities like learning classical languages and the foxtrot. I think a lot more individuals in my generation (25-30 year olds) would be a bit more well-rounded (not to mention probably better spellers) than they are today.
Martha Barnette said
Oooo, that's some pretty hot language! I'm reminded anew of how utterly simple and straightforward all these names must have seemed a couple of generations ago when classical languages were routinely taught.
I had "reniform" pegged as soon as I saw it in the title of this thread; it's too bad they don't use it to market swimming pools in that shape. Kind of reminds me of the time I referred to my grandfather's cat online as "hemidecaudated"; fortunately, the group I sprung it on had the classical-language background to figure it out without having to ask.
Apart from leaves, another ripe area for foreign vocabulary is in the Italian names for various shapes of pasta. There was a story in the food section of the paper the other day about "bowtie pasta" that explained the real derivation of "farfalle", but also grudgingly admitted that nobody associates them with butterflies these days.

(CNMnewz.com) Everyone love a really good car crash and this past weekends Hellendorn Rally car racing event in the Netherlands left no one disappointed.
The Hellendorn-hosted rally is not exactly a headliner racing event, however, the two-days of racing through the local city streets and across the countryside do provide ample opportunity for drivers of many different kinds of cars to compete.
Almost nobody knows who won any of the myriad races held at Hellendorn, but thanks to the amateur video from racing fan Henri van de Goor, Harry Kleinjan – the driver of the now-totaled Porsche 911 seems to be going viral. Kleinjan was unhurt by the crash, but his car was destroyed.
It happened as Kleinjan approached a severe right-hand turn on the rally course. As he attempted to brake and slow down his car, the brakes apparently locked up, and steering did as well.
The speeding Porsche slammed into the wall at an estimated 60mph and was catapulted into the air, flipping over and landing on the roof in the canal that runs along part of the race course. Reportedly, Kleinjan and his co-driver were unhurt by the crash.

Stuffing Envelopes From Home
Categorized: Printing | No comments
Some people are trying to make some extra money by stuffing envelopes at home. Lots of stay at home moms are trying to do this. Anyone can do this. Envelope stuffing is folding circulars or flyers and putting them into the envelopes. Putting addresses or labels on and postage and then mail them off. The whole family can do this and no experience is needed. Most companies will send you the directions with the mailing supplies. Some companies pay by check and others are paid right up front. Be careful of the work at home advertising that is out there. Some of these places are just rip offs. You will have start up fees. This is for your material. Your pay is based on per envelope stuffed and sometimes on a commission basis, good companies do both.
Some of the companies are a risk so you have to do your homework. If you find a good company to work for, then you will enjoy stuffing envelopes for money. Women that stay home would like to help their families out with the household expenses. They still can be with their children and keep everything running smooth in the house. If you can work from home stuffing envelopes, you are really saving money by not buying gas and the wear and tear on your car. Plus having a babysitter is another costly affair. This is good for older people to supplement their income. The cost usually doesn't run to high to start. Like i said, you will have to buy the material. You shouldn't have to pay more for the directions. They should pay you by how many you do. Sometimes you pay and then the directions tell you to make more copies and then when someone eles pays pays you the money. All this is, is a advertising gimmick.
You have to be very leary of the get-rich-schemes. They are just luring you in. There are legitimate work-at-home opportunities out there. Some signs of work at home scams are paying a fee to get you started. You should not have to pay a fee in order to obtain a job. Legitimate companies are only interested in skills, experience and other factors. Investing large amounts of money with no pay in return is just not right. Just make sure you check the company out first. Stuffing envelopes is an easy job to do but you have to be aware of who is good and who is not.

Hi, I'm Freddie Frey, an 11th-grade student at Loyalsock Township High School.
This is a wake-up call to most parents and the school board at Loyalsock Township. Heads up, you need my help, you're off your path; misguided somehow with good intentions in mind.
Sometimes it takes a smart student with a little common sense to help you out.
Our school is starting a military Gestapo-like random drug testing, except, it's not random. It's only for the students who are in sports (extra-curricular activity) and those who drive.
The heck with the kids who don't contribute their skills - they are exempted by discrimination! The rules state that if a student tests positive, the child will be counseled and educated and is not intended to be punished.
That's interesting, considering some of the coaches already stated that any student who tests positive will be benched for the whole season. How's that for following the rules?
Now some students could become suicidal or want to quit school. Everyone knows kids like school for lunch, sports and clubs. It's not rocket science. So what are parents going to do who signed the consent form? The school is not liable for any test results or outcomes as a result if the test is positive.
So what are you going to do when it's your kid who gets harmed from drug testing. Nothing? Because you can't to anything. Or if your kid tests positive for eating a simple poppy seed muffin. Sucks for them, right?
It's much worse than you think for students whose parents were smart enough not to sign the consent form. They are now punishing these students by taking away ALL extra-curricular activities. They will punish us until we cry - then our parents will sign it. Not!
I've begged my parents daily, reminding them I can't be in jazz band, ski club, Christian Club or drive. I might as well not exist - I hate school now. I get the same answer every day.
I keep asking myself, "W.W.J.D.?" (What Would Jesus Do?) He would say, "pick up your cross and follow me, simply let your yes be yes and your no be no." My mom says Jesus would not allowed himself to be tested - he would not have said a word. You are being rendered guilty having to prove yourself innocent. Then she reminded me to remember the basketball player from her school.
In my mom's grade, there was a basketball player. Her school used similar antics - the grade-point average had to be a "C" or higher to play sports. This star basketball player lived for basketball. School was tough for him; academics was not his strong point. God gave him the gift of height and flight. He couldn't make the grades, so he was kicked off the team. The school lost a talented player and a friend that day. He quit school and alcohol became his new game.
Jesus talked in parables, so I thought I will simplify the whole giant mess for you with my own. You have a school with principals, teachers and students. Some might suffer from gluttony.
Oh, no! Some might not be eating healthy foods. Oh, no! Some are bigger yet, could they possibly have cholesterol problems? That leads to heart disease, high blood pressure, blindness and maybe even an early death. That's a bad example for kids, isn't it?
So put the kids on a scale, call the doctor and take their blood pressure. But if their parents don't allow it, should we simply exclude them from eating lunch? And if they fail, should we put them on the bench because they're too fat to play sports.
No, we should give them counseling on how to lose weight and eat proper. Singling out a student for any reason is bad. Most schools are filled with computer addicts and texting junkies. It's a different world today. Leave it up to the parents to "parent" - the "children's will" will determine if he or she will succeed in life.
Instead of all this nonsense, the school should supply free drug-testing kits. Any parent who is interested and can't afford the over-the-counter price could simply go and pick one up.
Then, the children can be tested confidentially with their own parents, who can deal with them at their own discretion.

Optimization of Office Building Frame with Semi-Rigid Joints in Normal and Fire Conditions
Bzdawka, Karol
Publication type: Doctoral dissertation
Issue date: 2012-04-26

There are many framing systems for buildings. This thesis considers one particularly popular system for office buildings in the Nordic countries. The frame consists of welded steel box beams (WQ-beams) and composite square concrete-filled hollow section columns (CFHS). The frame is non-sway – in the horizontal direction it is supported by lift shafts, staircases or shear walls. In this thesis, only the vertical load bearing system is considered. The only imposed load is the live load for office buildings – 3.0 kN/m2. The live load is transferred to the beams via hollow core (HC) slabs. The optimization of a structure consisting of the three elements: slabs, beams and columns is the subject of this thesis. Several different layouts of the structure are optimized using Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO). The objective function of the optimization is the structure cost. The cost is calculated based on data available in the literature. The investigated structures differ in static layouts, dimensions and dimension proportions and complexity. The variables of the optimization are the cross-sections of the members. The semi-rigid joints are assumed in order to investigate the influence of joint rigidity on the optimum solution. The joint stiffness is either fixed or variable in the optimization. The joint design is not part of this thesis so the true rotational stiffness of the joint is not used but rather its proportion to the beam bending stiffness. The feasibility of each solution is verified following Eurocodes (with Finnish national annexes) and Eurocode-based Finnish guidelines for structural design. The requirements of ULS are verified in both normal and fire-design situations. The beams and joints are insulated from fire conditions so that the beam resistance and stiffness do not change because of temperature increase. The data obtained from the optimization is presented and analysed. It was found that due to their high cost, the HC slabs determine the building's shape. The relatively low cost CFHS columns have considerable reserve of capacity in ambient conditions allowing the use of semi-rigid joints. A semi-rigid beam-column joint reduces the sagging moment in the beam and increases the moment in the column. However, the column cross-section does not get much bigger since the moment increase in a fire situation is low due to the low column stiffness. The use of semi-rigid joints reduces the structure cost by ~10 % and the frame cost by ~20 %. The use of semi-rigid joints is recommended. The thesis proposes modifications to the current frame solution and indicates the direction for future studies. The PSO algorithm is found to be suitable for these kinds of problems due to its ease of use and good convergence towards the minimum.

Lahainaluna High School earned its seccond straight boys and girls team titles in the Maui Interscholastic League's second surf contest Saturday at D.T. Fleming Beach Park in Kapalua.
It was another win for the Lunas in their home waters. Last week, they had seven finalists at Lahaina Harbor. They did one better at Fleming with eight.
Lahainaluna's Sierra Lerback recorded another win in girls shortboard, and Ginger Prados of King Kekaulike also repeated, defeating her twin sister, Amber, for the bodyboard title.

"We practice four days a week, taking off Wednesdays," Everett said. "It's a little more work than I thought getting all the paperwork, per-mission from parents, grade checks, physicals.
"The first two weeks we barely surfed, doing water safety. Now after stretching, we talk on the beach and go out in the water and work on what we talked about. At the end of practice we run some heats to get them comfortable with the time limit. It's been rewarding coaching these kids."
The championship for surfing's inaugural MIL season is scheduled for April 19 at Hookipa Beach Park.

Tizen 2.1 user interface shown off in new leak
0. phoneArena 19 Dec 2013, 14:23 posted on
Even though the first Tizen device is scheduled to be unveiled in just a couple months, we haven't seen too many leaks that show off what the system is actually going to look like. A new leak has come out that has some quite detailed images of the Tizen user interface (UI); unfortunately, the images don't even show the newest version of Tizen (3.0), they are of Tizen 2.1...
This is a discussion for a news. To read the whole news, click here

i love all of it
3. nexusdude (Posts: 151; Member since: 22 Aug 2013)
I didn't know Samsung has actual designers. On the other hand I kinda hope this whole Tizen thing fails...
7. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
I hope you were joking.
34. Finalflash (Posts: 3083; Member since: 23 Jul 2013)
Yea, It looks like a slightly uglier version of touchwiz. There isn't any uniformity and it looks like a half way mash between gingerbread and iOS6. Also, - buttons near notifications to close them?....because that worked so well for Apple.
8. alan_1230 (Posts: 83; Member since: 22 Apr 2012)
and why is that
9. Dastrix (unregistered)
Because Android > Tizen.
12. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
Tizen is basically TouchWix UX 2.0 without Google's child Android. I'm all for more OSs in the market.
17. jellmoo (Posts: 1584; Member since: 31 Oct 2011)
How much time have you devoted to using Tizen on a daily use device in order to form this opinion?
19. PapaSmurf (Posts: 10456; Member since: 14 May 2012)
0 milliseconds. Let him troll.
39. noim1 (Posts: 297; Member since: 15 May 2012)
Psss !!! listen every1 today i will tell you the secret recipe to cook Tizen OS !!
1st take Android as base OS
2nd take samsungs touchWiz look & apps
3rd Make some changes here & there
4th Stir gently until all mix together
5th Here you go Tizen OS !!!!
49. Daftama (Posts: 619; Member since: 03 Nov 2012)
Most likely it will icrap Gcrap Wcrap and Bcrap basically has os covered anything is a replica of what they did I don't see any advantage to Tizen... They can put the same design on Andriod phone
4. GeekMovement (Posts: 2156; Member since: 09 Sep 2011)
Like Michael H, I'm hoping for more aggressive design changes to Tizen 3.0. The screenshots above did not impress me in terms of design.
40. dratomic (Posts: 483; Member since: 09 Oct 2013)
but i think its back and menu buttons are better placed than android.
6. good2great (Posts: 1042; Member since: 22 Feb 2012)
it has too much going on... seems like Tizen is trying too hard to be different.
14. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
...While still looking similar.
10. hipnotika (Posts: 353; Member since: 06 Mar 2013)
Too ugly...
15. joaolx (Posts: 364; Member since: 16 Aug 2011)
Three typos and usual Samsung ugly designs. I never really liked anything designed by Samsung besides their TVs and the Gear.
25. lpratas (Posts: 304; Member since: 09 Nov 2011)
You think that Samsung it is like those chinese enterprises and companies that make cheap electronics of dubious quality? Samsung it is not ZTE or other manufacturers. South Korea it is not China, it is quality and high, very high. The quality of the South Korea electronics it's comparable to Japanese electronics.
29. jiezel91 (Posts: 67; Member since: 28 Jul 2011)
Your reply is on a different planet really... he is talking about ugly designs, NOT quality.
35. warren24 (Posts: 19; Member since: 02 Apr 2013)
The way you talk about Korea is just offensive. Samsung is not everything Korea has.
46. SonyXperiaNexus (Posts: 374; Member since: 01 Oct 2012)
b!tch plz. lenovo
16. Jklaz (Posts: 159; Member since: 01 Jul 2013)
If Sammy goes full Tizen it will be hard for me to stay in Android. No other phones have removable batteries and storage anymore. I mean that was a staple to android back in 2010/11.
18. mottykels (Posts: 383; Member since: 15 May 2013)
I like it. Im so excited about this os ;)
20. NE_BE (Posts: 19; Member since: 21 Mar 2013)
looks unorganized, most of which the notifications
21. Kishin (Posts: 704; Member since: 30 May 2013)
If this Fails android will drop because Samsung holds More than half of android nation making iOS King

23. xtroid2k (Posts: 517; Member since: 11 Jan 2010)
I don't know. To me its another support headache. I'm not sure whether or one is really better or whatever. Different strokes for different folks. I'll have to play with it to really get ahold of how I feel there was a day at one point when I just had to worry about apple and Microsoft OS. Long gone are the simple days.
24. Gothbeard (Posts: 54; Member since: 28 Jun 2010)
All these pictures show is a skin. But based on Touchwiz I think Samsung should stick to what it does best - hardware.
I bought the first Samsung Wave and look where Bada OS has ended up. This Tizen will end up in the trash with Bada.
26. damokles (unregistered)
The best thing about those screenshots was the call-screen - everything else looks messy - even it's a super super beta.
28. steelew (Posts: 201; Member since: 04 Jun 2012)
...so touchwiz?

doesnt look bad im willing to test it out
32. Andrewtst (Posts: 631; Member since: 25 Jan 2009)
It look nice! actually, Cool! Now it is something better.
33. ArtZGraphic (Posts: 16; Member since: 04 Sep 2013)
lol, that's very basic mobile UI. i don't think that samsung will make many different between 2.1 and 3.0.
36. kryme (Posts: 355; Member since: 24 Oct 2013)
i think if tizen should have a very clean UI with the special features like the note 3 and run very smooth and is not so power hungry it will be a hit... and remember thats 2.1 we the public will get 3.0... if tizen can do 15hours of on screen time with a 2600mah battery its a hit whether u like it or not u gonna want one
37. zekes (Posts: 229; Member since: 14 Aug 2012)
what the hell was I looking at looks like Palm OS with actual icons
38. noim1 (Posts: 297; Member since: 15 May 2012)

The New TouchWiz..
43. rizevnarastek (Posts: 347; Member since: 06 Sep 2012)
When you thought Samsung ran out of ugly ass designs they come back and suprise you!!
44. boosook (Posts: 1436; Member since: 19 Nov 2012)
At least they tried to do something original, the first version was a bad copy of Android. Now it is a mix between Android and iOS7. :)
Anyway, I still don't see why users should choose Tizen vs. Android. I know that many people have some concerns about Android getting more and more closed, but this will be even more closed. The ecosystem will be inferior and it won't be as integrated with Google's ecosystem as Android is. Android's performance problems have largely been solved with the latest version and the new generation of hardware, and the Moto G showed that a smooth low-range Android phone can be marketed whith an affordable price. Android 4.4 should run even with 512MB of ram, anyway phones with 512MB of ram will probably be a blast from the past in 2014, as hardware costs decrease.
So Samsung is trying to compete in first person with Google/Motorola, Apple and Microsoft/Nokia. They're trying to become the fourth proprietary OS and ecosystem. The point is, given that even a juggernaut like Microsoft has not been able to achieve more than 3,4% global market share, with a strong brand like Nokia and millions of dollars spent in advertisement, if Samsung will be able to achieve a relevant market share to attract developers and to draw users in their ecosystem.

I hate that Notification Center, too cluttered ala TouchWiz and Optimus UX. and on side note, somebody will be makind a themer theme of this :)
51. doubler86 (Posts: 320; Member since: 26 Jan 2011)
I hope they make some of these UI changes to the current touchwiz. Not a fan of all of them, like the notification panel, but certain ones like the text messaging app, call and contacts would be a great change

HUGHESVILLE - Steve Budman called Hughesville's 37-26 win over Benton on Wednesday night the ultimate win. It came in the first round of the District 4 Class AA Duals tournament, which alone would have been enough to describe the victory that way.
But it was as much how the Spartans beat the Tigers which made it the ultimate win. Hughesville avenged a three-point December loss to Benton by wrestling with a physical and mental toughness it lacked more than a month ago.
Robert White avenged a loss to Dominic Vitale with a brilliant performance on his feet. Jacoby Foresman scored an 8-second fall as he continues his comeback from an injury. Zach Beamer held the Tigers to just a decision victory at 113 pounds with a smart wrestling performance. And Nate Hampton again came off the bench for a huge major decision win at 138 pounds, sealing the win for the Spartans.

Robert White of Hughesville works the feet of Dom Vitale of Benton in their 170-pound match Wednesday night at Hughesville.
Hughesville, the tournament's sixth seed, advances to face No. 3 Wyalusing in the quarterfinals Saturday at Milton where the top three teams in the tournament will earn a spot in the state tournament. The Spartans beat Wyalusing, 39-28, earlier this month.
"When we went over to Benton, we lost every close match. I said it in my mind at the time that we just weren't tough enough," Budman said. "Sometimes you work hard but you're still going through the motions. With how we have pushed them mentally and physically, they have gotten tougher. That's why in the past 2-1/2 to 3 weeks at the end of the dual meet we're winning matches."
Hughesville has won nine in a row dating back to the Zephyr Duals on Jan. 4. Last night's may have been the most complete performance in the toughest of situations.
Both teams were considered favorites to grab one of the top three spots come Saturday's day-long tournament. But meeting in the first round meant only one of the two teams would get the chance to make that kind of run. Wrestlebacks for third place don't begin until the quarterfinals.
"It's a do or die thing," White said. "We made it through and now we're one step close to getting our goal of going to Hershey."
"I said before the match to Budman that it's not fair to either one of us. But it's just a bad draw," Benton head coach Russ Hughes said. "Could we have won a couple more throughout the year? Absolutely. And I'm sure they could have, too. But if you're going to win district team duals, you've got to be pretty tough and (Hughesville's) pretty tough. They could possibly win the whole district duals. They're going to have to beat Wyalusing and some other tough teams. But they're very balanced and solid and they've come a long way since the first time we wrestled them. They're hitting on all cylinders, and a team like that, District 4 better be ready for them because they're tough."
White's win set the tone for Hughesville for the whole night. It was a match he lost in the two teams' first matchup back in December, despite Vitale giving up 15 pounds. But White has started to find confidence in his wrestling in the last few weeks as he's improved on his feet.
Last night White scored two takedowns and made them stand up for a 5-2 win. The win forced Benton to try and play catchup over the final 12 bouts to make up for the points it had lost from the first match.
It put a wrench into the plans of the Benton coaches, who weighed in their middleweight and upper weight kids heavy in order to move them up one or two weight classes for matchups they wanted.
"I didn't tie up as much as I did last time. I've built more confidence in my shots," White said. "Last time I didn't shoot so much because I was afraid to get in there. But I've been working on my shots a lot more and I have more confidence in there."
"We know it's going to be Vitale and we know it's going to be White," Budman said. "To win that close one, everyone looks around and says here we go."
The match didn't hold many other surprises. Jeric Kasunic bumped up to 182 and won by fall for Benton. Hughesville's Matt Herr remained undefeated this year with a 5-1 win over Brad Miccio. And Benton state qualifier Logan Womelsdorf matches his one-point win over Ethan Barnes from a month ago.
Foresman added another big win at heavyweight for the Spartans, his fifth in his last six matches, and his second fall in a row which took 12 seconds or less. His 8-second fall over Jared Sivco pulled Hughesville to within 15-12.
But then Hughesville started to do its damage even in losses. Beamer held Diltz, a wrestler with 13 of his 18 wins getting bonus points, to just a decision. Then Devin Stahlnecker, who's beaten three state-ranked wrestlers in the last two weeks held talented freshman Anthony Vitale to a decision at 126. Both Vitale and Diltz earned falls in the first matchup.
But Hampton delivered the final blow for the Spartans, picking up his major decision win at 138 pounds. It was Hampton's fourth win in six matches wrestled for the Spartans.
Hampton recorded seven takedowns in the match, hitting his dump to near perfection. His win by fall two weeks ago helped Hughesville beat Warrior Run as well.
"Absolutely huge win. When we lost the coin flip, we looked at each other and said we knew this was a possibility and it's what we have to do," Budman said of putting Hampton in the lineup. "We teach everybody, and it has to be that way in the elementary room, in the junior high room and the senior high room. We have to teach everybody because you never know when they're going to be called upon."

In Des Moines, AFSC organized an event on May 15 providing a forum for Palestinian-Americans to share their history and hopes for the future.
The Israeli Knesset passed a law in March creating financial sanctions for any government-supported institutions that observe this day. Israeli efforts to create a law criminalizing Nakba observance had previously failed. The March law is seen as a softer version previous attempts to prevent the passing on of memories and deny history. One Israel columnist noted, Trying to legislate history out of existence means losing touch with reality. Part of that reality is the true grieving that Palestinians experience even today. Though one apologist had said of the 1947-48 ethnic cleansing, "the old people will die and the young will forget," reality has proven that wrong.
Demonstrations and marches throughout the West Bank, Gaza, and at Israel's borders with Jordan and Lebanon demonstrate that people have not forgotten, and feelings and memories cannot be legislated away. While the world demands "nonviolence" from the occupied and displaced Palestinians, it stands quiet in the wake of Israeli tear gas and rifle shells that left at least 14 Palestinians dead and 80 wounded.
In Des Moines, the lie that the "young will forget" was laid bare in the person of Fayiz Abusharkh. Now no longer young, Fayiz remembers well. "I am," Fayiz said, "the son of Palestine, where I lived on its land and ate from its goods." He remembers being 13 years old when in 1948 "the Israeli air strikes began at 7 in the morning… The smell of death started spreading in my own town and the graves were filling with corpses." The family left for Gaza City – believing they'd return soon. Fayiz recalls his losses – the playground, the beach, his bicycle but mostly his white donkey—"I loved my donkey." In making way for the state of Israel, Fayiz remembers with some emotion, "They stole not only the land but also my childhood."
Fayiz and his family became refugees again after the Israeli occupation of the Gaza Strip began in the wake of the six-day war in 1967. Fleeing to Kuwait, Fayiz again became a refugee and has never been allowed to revisit the land, the home of his childhood.
The memories are painful and his grief at the world's indifference is palpable. "Why," Fayiz asks, "is justice frozen when it comes to the rights of Palestinian people? Why do those with power overlook a whole nation?" Still he looks to the future with a hope. Noting the planned UN vote to recognize Palestinian statehood, he asserts, "This is a historical chance that will promise Palestine in September of 2011 a worldly recognition of a free Palestinian nation…" Continuing without a trace of bitterness, Fayiz goes on to say such "a historic step" offers the best hope for Jews, Christians, and Muslims to live together in peace.

Live web seminar on The Sunshine Act--Are You Prepared? The March 31 Reporting Deadline is Approaching Quickly! By compliance2go
United States
Seminar Date:
Date Submitted:
Announcement ID:
The Sunshine Act is now in effect! Tracking started August 1st. If CMS comes in tomorrow to audit your company will you be found compliant? Did you know CMS uses the word "audit" 20x in the Final Rule of the Sunshine Act? They reserve the right to audit companies for compliance. Fines are $1000-$100,000 per violation. CMS requires you to disclose information about your relationships with physicians and teaching hospitals. Are you ready to make these disclosures to CMS on March 31st? How will you report? What will you report? What can you avoid reporting? How will you register? Will you tell doctors and hospitals what you plan to report about them ahead of time? Who is going to attest to the accuracy of the data? Your CEO? Will the government find any skeletons in the closet? Government litigators will no doubt be trolling the CMS database containing all payment information disclosed, which will be made public, for unsavory payments and other information about companies.
This 120-minute webinar will focus solely on the Sunshine Act. The course is taught by Mark Gardner, J.D., M.B.A., a national expert on the Sunshine Act. Mark has helped over 75 companies ranging in size from Fortune 500 to start-ups, drug, biologic, and device, get compliant with the Sunshine Act quickly. Mark, who has an MBA, worked in the medical device industry in sales and marketing for 10-years before becoming an attorney. He will walk you through countless real-world examples. Come prepared with your questions. You will have ample opportunities to get feedback from this national expert.
The 1st half of the webinar will be devoted to getting to know the final regulation, in granular detail, and how new guidance from CMS and the regulation apply to your company. The 2nd half of the webinar will focus on strategic matters, like the impact on customers (e.g. how the fraud and abuse laws, i.e., the Anti-kickback Statute and False Claims Act play a role), and will consider how to operationally get up to speed quickly. Internal policy and procedure development will be a focus. Attendees will learn everything they need to know about the Sunshine Act. Topics include: collection of data, registering your company, reporting (and the exceptions), certification/attestation of data, verification of data with customers, correction of data, assumptions document creation, among other things. Importantly, there are many exceptions you need to know about. Not knowing the exceptions, and how they apply, will put you at a competitive disadvantage in the marketplace.
Now is the time to act. Reporting to CMS is approaching fast. Long before March 31, data will need to be vetted and verified with physicians and customers. If you send in the wrong data, CMS will publish it anyway, unless you correct it in time. If a doctor disputes the data, and the matter cannot be resolved, then two sets of data will be reported. Do not let this happen to you. Get ahead of this. Think of your customers and the business impact a dispute would have.
The course is critical for companies of all types (drug, device, biologic) impacted by the Sunshine Act. Not only will the very granular aspects be covered, but also the strategic.
If you are looking for answers to these questions, you would certainly benefit by attending this webinar:
- What are the common mistakes companies are making when they try to get compliant with the Sunshine Act?
- What do I have to report? What can I avoid reporting? What are the reporting exceptions?
- How do I report? When do I have to report by? How the does the review process work? What if a doctor disagrees with my information? How do I prepare an assumptions document?
- Do these rules apply to my company? What about my parent company? What about our distributors?
- Do all meals and gifts have to be tracked? What if I am working on a joint venture? Who reports then?
- How does the False Claims Act and Anti-kickback Statute play a role in the Sunshine Act? What state laws do I have to follow now that the Sunshine Act is in effect? Are the laws of Massachusetts, Vermont, Minnesota, West Virginia, D.C., etc., still in play?
- What sort of policies and procedures do I need in place? How do I design and implement them? What should the policies and procedures cover?
- How do I training employees and management on the Sunshine Act?
- What tools should I use to record the data?
- What are emerging as best practices?
- What indirect payments must be reported and which ones can I avoid reporting?
- Are there any nuances for drug vs. device companies?
- What is the latest guidance from CMS?
- How do I register with CMS? …and many many more.

· Walk away with a firm grasp on the Sunshine Act

Lines are considering the more likely event that Datsyuk does not return tonight, Friday sounds like a realistic expectation for his return. He has not been ruled out of tonight's game though, i'd be thrilled to have Pav back in the midst of our recent great play.
Starting goaltenders are unconfirmed, but very likely.
This will be a difficult game, I think we edge the Bruins 5-4 in OT. Glendening scores his first (this prediction is bound to come true, right?), Nyquist with a goal and a helper, Kronwall with a couple and Franzen with the GWG.
Lets go boys, the more we win now the better our chances continue to be to make it 23 years straight.

All the CEI has now is a nasty letter [1]
Kevin Grandia [2] | July 30, 2007
By Kevin Grandia [2] • Monday, July 30, 2007 - 16:14
So this is what the climate change "debate" has come to.
Forget debating the economic underpinnings of cap and trade or the best way to implement new vehicle emissions standards. Instead the fine folks at the Competitive Enterprise Institute [3] (CEI) are spending their days playing the public victim over an infammatory email they received and subsequently posted on their site.
Michael Eckhart, president of the American Council on Renewable Energy (ACORE), [4] sent and email to Competitive Enterprise Institute "Senior Fellow" [5] Marlo Lewis saying that he would "destroy" Lewis's "career" as a "liar" if he "produce[d] one more editorial against climate change."
Eckhart promptly apologizes here. [6]
Most likely it is such petty shenanigans that are one of the reasons behind ExxonMobil ending their longtime funding arrangement with the CEI [7] for their climate change misinformation campaign.
It almost goes without saying that Eckhart has learned a valuable lesson about sending inflammatory emails to an organization bent on (and paid handsomely for) [8] discrediting anyone pushing to address the threat of climate change. What it has done is create yet another strawman for the likes of the CEI and right-wing pundits like NewsBusters [9] to beat the living daylights out of.
Of course, you didn't see NewsBusters exactly jumping off their seat to report a leaked email exchange between "Great Global Warming Swindle" director Martin Durkin and two eminent climate scientists in which Durkin called them "daft cocks" [10]and recommended one of them go "f**k himself." [10]
Nope, instead you only saw glory and praise for the film. [11]
No doubt, Mr. Eckhart is frustrated by the endless amount of misinformation being put out by the CEI. I myself have used much worse words when it comes to the likes of Lewis and the CEI cadre - just haven't sent an email.
In fact a letter sent in the Fall of last year [12] to ExxonMobil by the very conservative and usually soft-spoken Royal Society regarding the CEI's misinformation campaign was another expression of the frustration harbored by many in the scientific and environmental communities. As the scientific evidence continues to mount about the realities and seriousness of human-caused global warming, the CEI and the rest of the global warming denial industry continue to pump out misleading information about that reality.
It's frustrating.
The best thing we can all do is: a) ignore the CEI, or (b) my favored option, continue to point out that the CEI receives large amounts of money from the very industries whose bottom lines are most threatened if we move to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the United States.And leave the rest unspoken… at least in an email.

This isn't a completely formed thought, but I have to get on a plane this evening...
In response to the tax article referenced below, many of the online commenters said I was attacking people for being successful. By successful they meant wealthy.
Who says they're successful? Or that having money, a nice house and property is what makes them successful.
I've got a buddy who's a missionary. He's getting married on Saturday. He might never make money.
Anyone think he's not successful?
Forget taxes for a minute. Why do we put rich people on a pedestal?
Maybe NFL players and celebrities should get paid in the opportunity to do good deeds.

Travis, I don't consider myself wealthy or successful, just incredibly lucky! I didn't feel attacked by the article. Thought it was pretty fair presentation. And I will continue to pay my property taxes if HR 900 goes nowhere....

Beautiful and classy looking. Very high quality with the type of construction you would expect I'd a designer handbag. Surpassed my expectation and I could not be more pleased. Holds my note pro firmly and the two positions are plenty. The tab in back returns to position unlike some others I've seen, and the hand strap works well in either direction. I shopped around quite a bit before spending the extra money on the Snugg and I'm glad I did.
