Lon Chaney's power to terrify
"He was someone who acted out our psyches ... He somehow got into the shadows inside our bodies; he was able to nail down some of our secret fears and put them on-screen... the history of Lon Chaney is the history of unrequited loves. He brings that part of you out into the open, because you fear that you are not loved, you fear that you never will be loved, you fear there is some part of you that's grotesque, that the world will turn away from." A Valentine for Lon Chaney, the Man of a Thousand Faces. (BugMeNot for the first link; more inside)
La Feline
"You can fool everybody, but landie dearie me, you can't fool a cat. They seem to know who's not right". The psychoanalyst calmly explains to his patient that her idea that she is turning into a member of the cat family is a fantasy; she silences him with fang and talon. Val Lewton made his name as a producer with the horror film Cat People, produced for RKO on a minuscule budget and directed by Jacques Tourneur. The star? French actress Simone Simon, who died today in Paris aged 93. More inside.
Joe R Lansdale's Mojo storytelling
Tight Little Stitches in a Dead Man's Back The tattoo is of a great, blue mushroom cloud, and in the cloud, etched ghost-like, is the face of our daughter, Rae. Her lips are drawn tight, eyes are closed and there are stitches deeply pulled to simulate the lashes. When I move fast and hard they rip slightly and Rae cries bloody tears. That's one reason for the martial arts. The hard practice of them helps me to tear the stitches so my daughter can cry. Tears are the only thing I can give her. East Texas writer Joe R Lansdale has written horror, science fiction, fantasy, mystery, suspense, westerns, "men's adventure," and just about every other kind of writing you can think of. On his website (see main link) Lansdale makes a story available for free every week to his readers. Lansdale also wrote a novella featuring an aging Elvis Presley who teams up with a delusional, African American John F. Kennedy to battle an ancient Egyptian mummy with a predilection for anal soul-rape. It made it to the big screen, too: Bubba Ho-Tep. With Bruce Campbell and Ossie Davis. More inside.

This will be an beginner level class best suited for those that are considering brewing as a hobby or as a career choice. Come learn the basics of brewing, and how to brew your own beer at home. Whether you are just interested in learning more about your favorite malted beverage, or are considering jumping into this wonderfully rewarding hobby, then this Meetup will be perfect for you.
We will cover terminology and equipment associated with Extract brewing or partial-grain brewing.
The class will start at 4:00PM, we will begin by talking the basics of home brewing and ingredients. There might even be some sample local beers so we can discuss the finer points of beer tasting.
George has just opened up The Homebrewer, a place to buy all of your brewing supplies and offers a range of classes from Intro Brewing to classes on specialized types of brewing. Whether you are brand new or experienced, George has the extra experience you are looking for. George is a 10-year homebrewer with countless batches, good and bad. He has the knowledge to know the correct way to brew and the incorrect way (no shortcuts).
This class will be very small so it will be very intimate and questions would be welcomed from anyone attending. There are no stupid questions in this class, trust me, George will answer ANY questions you have regarding brewing. You might be surprised by the answers.
I will be posting all of the Homebrewer's classes on the SDCBS meetup page, so check frequently.
Parking for The Homebrewer is either up front on El Cajon, on Kansas, on 30th Street, or anywhere around the block. Some parking around there is metered parking, so bring some coins.
If you get hungry after the class, Tiger! Tiger! is just a block down the road.

A global, online open source development & outreach contest for pre-college students ages 13-17
The Google Code-in contest gives students around the world an opportunity to explore the world of open source development. Google not only runs open source software throughout our business, we value the way the open source model encourages people to work together on shared goals over the internet.
Give it a try from December 7th, 2015 to January 25th, 2016!
Participants complete "tasks" of their choice for a variety of open source software projects. Students can earn t-shirts, certificates, and hooded sweatshirts for their work. Each software project will name two students as their grand prize winners and those students win a four day trip to in Mountain View, CA, USA in June 2016.
Since open source development is much more than just computer programming, there are lots of different kinds of tasks to choose from, broken out into five major categories:
1. Code: Writing or refactoring code
2. Documentation/Training: Creating and editing documentation and helping others learn
3. Outreach/Research: Community management and outreach/marketing, or studying problems and recommending solutions
4. Quality Assurance: Testing to ensure code is of high quality
5. User interface: User experience research or user interface design
This year students can work with 14 open source organizations: Apertium, Copyleft Games Group, Drupal, FOSSASIA, Haiku, KDE, MetaBrainz, OpenMRS, RTEMS, SCoRe, Sugar Labs, Systers, Ubuntu, and Wikimedia Foundation.
Over the past five years, over 2200 students from 87 countries completed at least one task in the contest. This year we hope to have even more students participate globally. Please help us spread the word and bring more students into the open source family!
Visit g.co/codein to learn more about the contest. For even more information and contest updates, read our Frequently Asked Questions, follow our blog or join our mailing list.
The Google Code-in contest starts on December 7, 2015!
First Country to Adopt OLPC Laptops at Full 1:1 Saturation Will Be First Country to Receive XO Tablets
XO Tablets Will Feature Local Books and Be Customized for Uruguayan School System
MIAMI— One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) will provide the government of Uruguay with 8,000 of its newly released XO Tablets for distribution to pre-school and first grade children in the country. The OLPC/Uruguay pilot program (Plan Ceibal) is the world's first government program designed to get educational technology into the hands of children ages six and under.
"Plan Ceibal has been one of the early adopters of the OLPC laptop, and Uruguay is the first country to have deployed and reached one-to-one laptop student and teacher saturation. We are very aware of the importance of integrating pedagogy and technology to enrich the educational experience of our children," said Uruguayan government official, Miguel Brechner. "The engaging and intuitive nature of touch-screen technology, as well as the way OLPC has presented the contents of the tablet, will enable us to connect students and broaden their cognitive opportunities at an even younger age."
The XO Tablet, designed and developed by OLPC, features OLPC's XO Learning System and provides children with access to state-of-the-art educational content that has been curated and selected for age-appropriateness and learning value by OLPC. In addition to the XO Learning System content available on every XO Tablet, the 8000 XO Tablets distributed to children in Uruguay will be customized for the region and will be preloaded with local content to meet the requirement of the Uruguayan school system.
"There is early evidence, both empirical and anecdotal, to support the efficacy of tablets and touchscreen technology as learning devices for children as young as ages two to five," said Rodrigo Arboleda, OLPC Chairman and CEO. "As such, adding a fully functional and educationally focused tablet is a natural extension of the OLPC mission and an excellent complement to our existing and continuing laptop program."
The XO Tablet, and its XO Learning interface, run on the Android's latest OS. To ensure compatibility and interoperability with the nearly 2.5 million laptops OLPC has distributed since 2005, OLPC is converting the Sugar software currently used in XO laptops to the Android system. Once the conversion is complete, Sugar will be made available via download free of charge. The porting of Sugar into Android will give XO Tablet users access to OLPC's previously developed educational content.
The XO Tablet, which is manufactured and distributed by OLPC strategic partner, Vivitar, is currently available for purchase in the U.S. at Amazon.com, Target.com, Walmart.com and Walmart stores. These strategic retail partners have in common a commitment and history of empowering children to learn, and in 2008, Amazon was instrumental in the execution of OLPC's "Give 1 Get 1" program to sponsor laptops for children in developing countries. OLPC's proceeds from sales of the XO Tablet will further the organization's global mission by enabling further development of the XO Learning System, updating existing apps and software to facilitate interoperability between XO Tablets and Laptop and by subsidizing distribution of the tablets to children throughout the world.
About XO Tablet, XO Learning and One Laptop per Child
The XO Tablet has been fully designed and developed by OLPC to harness the power of a connected touchscreen device to create new ways for children to learn-how-to-learn. Its launch also marks the global debut of the XO Learning System, designed as a child-centric interface to empower kids to build, learn and dream as part of OLPC's mission. OLPC was launched in 2005 at the MIT Media Lab as a project to provide a modern education to every child around the world through access to laptops and connected devices. The organization has since distributed 2.5 million of its specially designed XO laptops to children in 60 countries, and the XO Tablet extends that experience into a modern tablet form factor. All within the philosophy of Learning-by-doing advocated by the Media Lab throughout the years.

OLPC OS 13.2.0 is a new software release focusing on cleaning up a few edges from our previous release, and finishing off support for the new XO-4 laptop. As usual, we maintain support and consistency for older laptops models, with XO-1.75, XO-1.5 and XO-1 also included in the release.
This is our core power saving technique where we suspend the processor after a few seconds of system inactivity ("idle suspend"), but we leave the screen and wireless interfaces running to provide the illusion that the system is still running as usual.
The new XO-4 laptop comes with bluetooth support as a purchase option. While such Bluetooth support is not immediately available in the user interface, we have enabled this functionality in the underlying system, ready for developers and deployers to use in their custom applications.
In the Clock activity, you can now use the touchscreen to drag the clock hands to another time, a useful exercise for learning about time. Drop-down lists are sub-optimal for touch, they have been replaced by more intuitive and touch-friendly UI elements in Record. The pinch-to-zoom touch gestures in Image Viewer behave much better than before. FotoToon has been improved to interact with the touchscreen on-screen keyboard.
A new activity has been added, presenting a piano-style musical keyboard to the user. The piano can then be played using the XO's physical keyboard, or with the XO-4 touchscreen by directly placing your fingertips on the notes you wish to play. You can even play multiple notes at the same time by using more than one finger, thanks to the XO-4's multitouch capabilities.
We are exploring methods to improve common classroom situations of teachers handing out assignments, and teachers collecting in the students work. While this functionality should ideally be part of the core Sugar desktop, for now we are prototyping a solution in the form of an activity called Journal Share, which is new to 13.2.0. To hand out an assignment to the students, the teacher starts the Journal Share activity, shares it, and adds the assignment to the session. Students join the shared activity, and with a single click, the assignment appears in their Journal. When the teacher wants to collect in the student's work, the teacher starts the Journal Share activity and shares it. Students join the shared activity, and add their completed work from their Journal. The submitted work is automatically transferred into the teacher's journal for later assessment and evaluation.
Several activities (such as Read, Write and Paint) are now usable when the screen is rotated. Scratch has been updated to a new version, bringing in the latest functionality and extending the library content. The Help activity content has been updated.
How to install? (Installation is distinct from update. If you have user data on the laptop that you wish to preserve, you may want to follow the Update instructions.)

There are certainly cases where applying objective measures badly is worse than not applying them at all, and education may well be one of those. –Nate Silver
Not to be deterred by Nate Silver's words of warning, Claudia Urrea and I continue to work on mechanisms for visualizing learning Sugar. Along with the Pacita Pena and other members of the Learning Team, we have been designing rubrics that capture the level of fluency with the technology as well as the creative use of the individual Sugar tools by children. The rubrics are captured automatically in some Sugar activities, e.g., Turtle Art and a modified version of Write. We are aiming for evaluations that look more broadly than those data that are captured by standardized tests. We just submitted a paper, "Visualizing Learning with Turtle Art", in which we present some measurements calculated from 45 Turtle Art projects created by children working with Quirós Tanzi Foundation.
We claim that the rubric serves as a partial evaluation tool for open-ended projects. Partial, because it is only a measure of how the children used Turtle Art to express themselves, but not what they made or why they made it. But the rubric does have the potential to give some assistance to the teacher who is working within the context of accountability, without adding an additional burden of analysis above and beyond looking at the work itself.
We want children not just to learn about the computer, but also to learn with the computer. Providing activities such as Turtle Art that engage them in computational thinking in the context of personal expression is necessary, but not sufficient. Giving them tools for reflection enhance the learning experience. Giving their teachers simple-to-use mechanisms for assessment increase the odds that activities like Turtle Art will find more mainstream acceptance. Making it easier to assess open-ended projects lowers one of the barriers that are preventing more use of the arts in school.
Using HTML in a Sugar Activity is not new. The Wikipedia Activity has been embedding HTML contents for years. It does this by integrating into the Activity two things: the Sugar browser to render HTML and an HTTP server to react to user clicks by calling Python code.
To learn more on how to Develop Sugar Activities Using HTML5 read the new chapter on the How to Develop your Sugar Activities Manual.
We're pleased to announce the next release candidate of our new 13.1.0 software release.
OLPC OS 13.1.0 is a new software release focusing on providing support for the new XO-4 laptop and its optional touchscreen. As usual, we maintain support and consistency for older laptops models, with XO-1.75, XO-1.5 and XO-1 also included in the release.
Information and installation instructions can be found here.
Quick links for those who know which files need to be grabbed and save to USB disks:
This release adds SiS and DisplayLink USB-VGA support for the XO-1.75 and XO-4, on par with the support offered for XO-1 and XO-1.5.
We've moved the underlying system from Fedora 17 to Fedora 18 in this release, which was a necessary measure for touch support, and helps us keep up-to-date with the open source technologies that we rely upon. A minor update to GNOME to version 3.6 is included here.
The most notable feature in the latest version of Sugar is the addition of touchscreen support, pairing up with the new XO-4 Touch laptop. While a touchscreen can be seen as somewhat equivalent to a mouse, there are a number of subtle differences, such as the fact that it is not possible to hover without also triggering a "click", which called for a number of user interface modifications to make Sugar suitable for touchscreen input. We've tackled these challenges by making small adaptions to the UI where necessary. In some places where hovering was previously required, a click or touch will now show an informational palette (with menu) rather than immediately performing an action. In other places, a touch-and-hold operation will do the equivalent of what hovering or right-clicking does with the mouse. We've also made some small interface elements finger-sized, such as the activity icons on the home screen.
We've also sprinked some gestures throughout the interface. A quick vertical swipe from the top region of the screen downwards will cause the frame to open, and the same gesture can be used to close it. When working in the Image Viewer, you can use pinch-type gestures to zoom in and zoom out. Swiping your finger over any scrollable area will cause scrolling to happen, so you don't have to worry about trying to manipulate small scroll bars with your fingers.
Tablet mode (where the laptop screen is rotated around and folded down, physically obscuring the keyboard and mouse) is very usable with a touchscreen – especially with the work we've put in. When in tablet mode, if you select a text input area, an on-screen keyboard will pop up: touch the keys to type away as normal. We've also taken some initial steps to make sure that the region of the screen where you are typing is made visible if it would otherwise be obscured by the on-screen keyboard.
Under the hood, this release also includes a huge amount of effort in our use of the underlying GTK platform: we have migrated Sugar itself, and many more activities, to GTK+ version 3. This invisible but invasive work, which we started for 12.1.0, is essential for the ongoing development and maintenance of Sugar, and was a solid requirement for the touchscreen work described above.
More information about Sugar-0.98 is available in the Sugar release notes
Letter Match is an activity for introducing the Spanish vowels. While far from contructionist, this activity does provide a mechanism for learning the alphabet. It displays letters and images and associated sound files, such as 'A as in ave'. There are two modes:
2. see a picture, then click on the corresponding letter
AEIOU is an activity for introducing the Spanish vowels. It displays letters and images and associated sound files, such as 'A as in ave'. It would, of course, be fun to let the learner add their own pictures and sound recordings. There are four modes:
I Know My ABCs is an activity for introducing the Spanish alphabet. It displays letters and images and associated sound files, such as 'A as in ave'. There are four modes:
Finally, a cool app which uses the accelerometer in XO- 4, written by a Google Code-In student:
Level Tool is an activity to check the inclination of a surface with respect to ground.
Open source experts from Hamburg improve the devices' software platform. Code will be available under free license to the worldwide community.
Lanedo, Hamburg-based Open Source firm, is proud to announce their contribution to OLPC's newest device, named XO-4 touch. The 7.5" convertible notebook, expected in 2013, focuses on multitouch technology as one of its main features.
Lanedo was involved from the very beginning to extend the OLPC sofware platform called Sugar, enhancing the user interface with touch functionality and therefore laying the foundation for future developments. The team not only improved the X.org graphical subsystem with numerous multitouch-related bug fixes, but also extended the respective functionality of the GTK+ toolkit, used for drawing windows, icons and other UI widgets.
Sugar has been a significant diferentiating factor in the worldwide user community for the XO laptop. We appreciate the support of Lanedo to continue the development and enrichment of the Sugar platform, says Rodrigo Arboleda, CEO of OLPC.
One of the most exciting features is the new intuitive text selector, that allows on-screen selection using handles for exact positioning. Furthermore, several commonly known gestures like zoom, rotate and swipe have been added to the Sugar environment, available throughout the system. Lanedo has also contributed to XO-4's word processor, based on AbiWord, which not only had the same text selector implemented in native code, but also saw improvements in scrolling and other multitouch functions. Likewise, many other bundled applications have been enhanced.
Martyn Russell, one of Lanedo's founders and managing director, is excited about the work done:
Lanedo is proud to have had the opportunity to engage in such a noble project as One Laptop Per Child. It has been a great experience and we are thrilled at the prospect of contributing to the Open Source based platform in the future.
Following the principles of free sofware, developers can take advantage of those new features in their own projects, as all code writen will be made available freely to the benefit of the worldwide community – the GTK+ enhancements have already been incorporated in the 3.6 releases.
The release of Sugar 0.98 also incorportates many improvements to the GTK3 port. The Sugar Developer Team deserves a resounding celebatory cheer of thanks for their effort.
OLPC has been incorporating Sugar 0.98 in the 13.1 series of builds, available for download to run on the XO.
The icons in the Home View are now ordered alphabetically. This change has been applied to the favourites view and the activities list view.
The most important change is that the GTK+ 2 based sugar-toolkit has been deprecated since Sugar 0.96. Newly written activities should use sugar-toolkit-gtk3, which is based on GTK+ 3 and Pygobject3, now. There will be only bug fixes being available in the future for the old toolkit no new features will be made available for it and it will probably go away at one point completely. Detailed guidelines for porting existing activities can be found at Features/GTK3/Porting.
There is a brand new step-by-step guide for developing Activities under Fedora 17.

The OLPC team conducted a training program with the Educatrachos teachers team from November 12 to 15, 2012 in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The training focused on integrating the Sugar Activities into the existing curriculum with an emphasis on Spanish and Mathematics. Teachers were instructed on the various teaching resources contained within the XO laptops.
The OLPC program in Honduras will benefit 54,000 students in grades 3 to 6 in 545 schools throughout the country. These students will all have access to XO laptops and digital educational programs.
This program is funded by the Inter-American Development Bank in coordination with the Government of Honduras.
The main goal of the Elementary Education and Technology Integration Program is to improve the learning of students in the poorest elementary schools in Honduras. The program will involve training activities and will provide ongoing support to the teachers. In addition, the program is working to provide textbooks and other educational materials to these schools. The project has a special focus on the incorporation of new technologies in education.
Sugar Labs has been selected as one of ten projects to participate in Google Code In. We join, among others, our colleagues at Fedora et al., in soliciting the participation of high-school (and in our case, middle-school) students to work on projects during a six-week sprint beginning on November 26. This is a great chance for the youth who have been so instrumental in our growth over the past year to show off their talents to the world (and two of them will hopefully win a trip to visit Google). Please help Chris Leonard and Walter Bender finalize the project and mentor lists over the next few days. We are offering coding projects, documentation and training projects, outreach, quality assurance, and user interface, so even if you are not a developer, you likely have some skills to devote to the Code In.
NOTE TO MENTORS: Please create an account and fill out the Request to be a Mentor form.
NOTE TO COMMUNITY: Please add to our task lists and please recruit participants.
Sugar is written and maintained by volunteers, who range from seasoned professionals to children as young as 12-years of age.

On October 26th, 2012 the nine CMS Project L.I.F.T. zone schools and community
partners joined forces to host the L.I.F.T annual community meeting. This event
included breakout sessions centered around L.I.F.T's commitment to appropriate
technology for all students. The "OLPC Lounge" stood out as a shining star during
this time as students, their families and community members enjoyed quality time
with XO laptops and OLPC support staff members. All visitors to the session had the
opportunity to ask questions and explore Activities on the Sugar Learning Platform.
One of my favorite memories from this event was when a 4th grade student was
sitting with his sister who is in Kindergarten and he explained how to open the
Speak Activity so she could type in her name and hear the robot speak her name. He
said to her, "You can use my XO for now but you'll be getting your own soon!"

In the community
Last weekend was the OLPC SF summit in San Francisco, which was
followed by a three-day Sugar Camp. Although I missed opening day, Day
Two was quite interesting in that there was a lot of good discussion
about how to sustain and grow the various volunteer-run OLPC/Sugar
deployments. At Sugar Camp, although not much code was written, there
was an opportunity to get tangible and actionable feedback from the
likes of Mark Bradley (we pushed hard on Turtle Art as a multimedia
toolkit). I also had the opportunity to catch up with Raul Gutierrez
Segales, Ivan Krstić, and others.
Tech Talk
The little coding I did do in San Francisco was in support of
migrating more activities to touch. Specifically, I worked on
integrating the on-screen keyboard into several of my activities:
Portfolio and Turtle Blocks. The challenge was that I was using
key-press events directly, rather than accessing them through a GTK
widget such as a Entry or TextView. With help from Raul, I managed to
get things working pretty well: basically, I just drop a TextView
widget under the cursor where I expect keyboard input. The details are
outlined here. I'm generally pleased with the results, but there
is a bit of fine-tuning of the interaction, e.g, you need to defocus
the TextView in order to dismiss it: not such a burden, but at times,
somewhat awkward.
Ignacio Rodriguez has been on a tear, helping me to migrate
activities to GTK 3. Over the past week, we converted: Card Sort,
Cookie Search, Color Deducto, Deducto, Flip, Fraction Bounce, Loco
Sugar, Napier's Bones, Nutrition, Paths, Pukllananpac, Recall,
Reflection, GNUChess, Sliderule, Story, Yupana, and XO Editor. I also
worked with Agustin Zubiaga on Portfolio, Flavio Denesse on Ruler, and
Daniel Francis on Turtle Blocks. Whew.
4. There are plans to hold the next OLPC SF summit in San Francisco the weekend of October 19-21. We are holding a Sugar Camp following the summit (Oct 22-24). Please register here.
5. Simon Schampijer announced the "I am a GTK+ 3 shell" release of Sugar and the Sugar toolkit.
6. Daniel Drake announced that a new 13.1.0 development build is available (This one comes with the first development release of the GTK-3 port of Sugar and it is intended for developers to play with it and find bugs to help us solve them before release.)
OLPC OS 12.1.0 is a new software release focusing on improving the XO-1.75 user experience, and undertaking a much-needed technological shift for Sugar's internals to GTK+ 3.x. Additionally, XO-1.5 and XO-1 continue to be supported in this release, and we include a variety of new features and fixes.
During this development cycle, we have spearheaded efforts within the Sugar Labs community to make Sugar GTK3-ready. The changes you will see as a user are few. This work was limited to the back-end platform only. As we continue the transition in future, you'll receive efficiency improvements, and activities will improve in quality from having more direct access to a wider range of system libraries.
Recent Sugar versions have shown a "naming screen" upon stopping a new instance of a Sugar activity. The idea was to encourage the learner to provide a good name for their work, and perform some self-reflection in the details field. However, some found this confusing (stopping an activity should be as simple as possible).
Sugar-0.96 changes this – the naming screen is no longer displayed. However, all activities now have a button in the toolbar that allows a description to be set. We hope that this will continue to encourage self-reflection while not being as intrusive as before.
A new icon in the Sugar frame allows for any currently-selected text to be dictated by the internal speech engine.

Beer dinner with top chefs on Feb. 25 will raise funds for veteran
The Best of Milwaukee Beer Dinners series -- which pairs food from top Milwaukee chefs with craft beer -- is back this month and raising funds for a badly injured veteran.
The veteran is a friend since childhood of Wolf Peach chef Daniel Jacobs. Sgt. Ed Matayka was severely injured in an IED blast in Afghanistan in 2010, which required the amputation of both legs. He also suffered a stroke as a result of the injuries. His rehabilitation continues, and he and his wife now are expecting twins. »Read Full Blog Post
Comedian Ron White coming to Riverside
"Blue Collar Comedy" star Ron White is returning to the Riverside Theater April 12.
Last time White was in town was February 2012, when he performed stand-up at a sold-out Riverside. That's a typical accomplishment for White: he's sold more than 10 million CDs and DVDs and has been one of the top three grossing touring comedians in the U.S. over the past five years. »Read Full Article

Historical Traveler Reviews Uncle Billy's Kona Bay Hotel Kailua-Kona
If you are on a budget......
Like everyone said - you get what you pay for. We were there for one night only (March 6, Sat) - don't think I could handle more than that.
Paper thin towels, holes in the walls, our shower head was all messed up that is was squirting water onto the backspash instead of on the person! Also, the walls looked like that had been painted over and over. All we did was dump our things in our room and leave so really this hotel is for the person that's not in their room all the time. If all you need is a cheap place to sleep, this is it. Breakfast was included in our package. No high marks on that. I took one look and walked off. The food looked like it had been sitting there for days! I guess we got there too late (9 a.m) so all the food was picked over.
The highlights are that this hotel is in a PRIME location near the Kona shopping center and nice restaurants. We had dinner at Huggo's and I saw the hostess chuckle when I mentioned that we were staying at Uncle Billy's. If you like sort of a nightlife - go to Huggos on the Rocks which is a nice bar with live music on the beach. It's right next to Huggos Restaurant. Oh, there is catholic church a block down with services in hawaiian with hawaiian singers. ALso, if you are there on Sunday, there's a farmer's market next door to hotel. The staff at Uncle Billy's are very nice and helpful. We even met Uncle Billy himself riding up on his motorcycle. He's a very nice and personable man. I didn't have the heart to tell him that his hotel is a dump. I guess all that money goes to him and not back into the hotel. It's a shame too - $50 put back for each room would make a HUGE difference.
Next time we'll stay somewhere else.
Never Again
I elected to stay at Uncle Billy's Kona Bay Hotel so I could earn 500 frequeent flyer miles on Hawaiian Airlines. The following problems were encountered: AC didn't work (but was fixed for the second night of my stay), spiders in the beds, toilet did not flush, temperature of the water when taking a shower fluctuated from luke warm to scalding hot.
In addition, I have been waiting for two months and still have not recieved my 500 frequent flyer miles! (I have complained to Uncle Billy's and still have not gotten the miles!) NEVER AGAIN!
Pleasant Stay
My family stayed the week end recently at Kona Bay Hotel and found the room to be part of our pleasant experience. It was big enough for the 3 of us. It was close to everything, in fact, our room was right where the old Kona Inn Shopping Village is. We had no problem with parking or getting around. The room was clean. We sat out on our patio and enjoyed watching the ocean and the trees in the mini park next door move in the evening breeze. Considering how close we were to the street it was incredibly quiet. I'd have no qualms about staying there or recommending it to family and friends.
Glad I'm gone
We were lucky that our trip was only for a three day stay! Being retired military, I've stayed in some really bad places. This was one.It was publicized as a quiet, clean hotel. It was not quiet and on the second morning, we found little "fleas" all over the room. It reminded me of a room in a third world country. Moved to Royal Kona Resort. Excellent!
We stayed 1 night on 8/11/03 and I would definately not recommend it.
We originally had reservations at another hotel but they were doublebooked so they put us up 1 night in this hotel. From 1st sight we were leary. It is old, needs much improvement on inside and outside. We did take everything out of our car for safety. There were groups of guys hanging around and the stairs even had a smell of alcohol. The room was ant infested, but at least we didn't see any roaches or other bugs. The air didn't work properly, but it did have a working ceiling fan which helped. The room itself smelled like mildew. It would definately be worthing spending alittle more at a different hotel!
Very comfortable stay
Although, We only stayed there one night (July '03), my boyfriend and I found the accomadations rather nice. I'm sorry to read the poor reviws from the others... I found no such problems with the room or the area.
It was affordable, clean and very generous. Our vehicle was not broken into, nor were there any bug problems. Perhaps the hotel has improved since the other stays, or perhaps the room my boyfriend and I were in was lucky. If you don't like the one in Kona, I may suggest the one in Hilo. It's far more familiar, in my opinion. Happy travelling.
We had the unfortunate experience of spending one night here the sixth of July 2003. We were given a room facing the parking lot. The room was completely infested with ants so we called the attendant and requested a room. She said she would call us back but didn't. Finally my husband went to the front desk himself and got another room, just a few doors down. It was worse. The fridge didn't work, the ceiling fan was broken but it was already past midnight and we were exhausted so we took the room. The next a.m. we woke up and my son had over 35 bug bites all over his body. We called and the receptionist was NOT helpful (she said you shouldn't have stayed there) NEVER AGAIN!!!
Don't stay at Uncle Billy's!
After nine days in Kona staying with friends I spent one night at Uncle Billy's in Kailua Kona. It was a mistake. I had heard from guidebooks that it was inexpensive, so since I was on a budget I tried it out. They have a security guard there so I thought it was safe, right in downtown Kailua. Well, even though I locked much of my stuff in the trunk of my rental car, and parked it in the hotel parking lot, thieves managed to break into the car and to steal my camera and art supplies, cash, and gifts. It was devastating! I know now I should have taken everything out of the car, but I thought it was safe. The Kona police told me that Uncle Billy's has robberies nearly every day and that thieves watch tourists in the parking lot, marking them for later. Besides stealing about $3000 worth of stuff from my car, the hotel itself was termite and cockroach ridden. I urge you not to stay there. It's just not worth saving a few bucks. My vacation was ruined.
Worth a Shot
This hotel is old but you must understand that many guests you stay at this hotel are local. Also, i fyou are looking for a cheap hotel in the heart of Kona you can not go wrong here!
Would not recommend
The place may be an institution - but it's falling apart. The rooms were musty, dead cochroaches in the bathroom, the towels were paper thin and there were water stains and mold on the walls. Fortunately, it was only for one night. We had the breakfast buffet on Sunday morning and that wasn't even good - food was cold and had no flavor. Would never stay there again.

... After we dropped them at the airport, we went to exchange the Jeep for a less expensive rental we had booked with our Airmiles for our remaining 2 weeks.

Travis Roy Speaks on Campus Tomorrow
Former Terrier on defying the odds
Just 11 seconds into his first hockey game at BU, freshman Travis Roy crashed headfirst into the boards. The horrifying images from that October 1995 accident were broadcast around the country. In an instant, Roy's fourth cervical vertebra was shattered, severely damaging his spinal cord and leaving him paralyzed from the neck down.
Now a quadriplegic with limited control of his right bicep, Roy (COM'00) has become one of the nation's most prominent advocates for people with spinal cord injuries. A motivational speaker and founder of the nonprofit Travis Roy Foundation, which supports those with spinal cord injuries and provides grants for spinal cord injury research, he travels across the country speaking to doctors, patients, and caregivers.
Tomorrow, Roy returns to BU to deliver the fourth annual Meredith E. Drench Lecture at Sargent College, titled Defying the Odds: Rehabilitation and Perseverance after Spinal Cord Injury. The lecture series was established in 2009 by Drench (SAR'72), a behavioral specialist, and focuses on the psychosocial aspects of rehabilitation.
"We felt that Travis' personal story of the challenges he has faced and the way he and others have dealt with them would give our students and others important insight into the psychosocial ramifications of injury and subsequent rehabilitation," says Gloria Waters, dean of Sargent College.
After his injury, Roy underwent extensive rehabilitation, and he says he is excited about speaking to Sargent students because of his own experiences—both positive and negative—with physical therapists.
He recalls an experience a few years back with a young physical therapist he thought did not have the knowledge of anatomy or the experience required to help him the way he needed. Roy became frustrated and shared that with her. "I didn't think what she was doing was right with some of the therapies," he says. "It was upsetting to be working with someone who didn't do their homework."
But Roy also had many positive experiences during his rehabilitation. He was taken from the hockey rink that October night to Boston Medical Center, where he stayed for four months. He was later transferred to the Shepherd Center in Atlanta, a facility specializing in spinal cord injuries. His first day at Shepherd, Roy recalls, he looked up to discover butterflies painted on the ceiling. "I couldn't help but smile," he says. After staring at BMC's white cork ceiling tiles all day for so long, he was buoyed to realize that "someone had finally thought about what I'd been looking at for four months."
The importance of those small but significant acts is something Roy hopes to impress upon Sargent students. "When you're going through such a traumatic experience and everything is such a big deal," he says, "those little gestures that people think of, they kind of get you through the day."
A year after his accident, Roy returned to BU to pursue a degree in mass communication. He lived on campus, and acknowledges that while his college career was not easy, he is "really proud of how the school, students, and faculty really turned my story into something I like to consider a success story."
In 1998, with Sports Illustrated writer E. M. Swift, he published his experience in Eleven Seconds: A Story of Tragedy, Courage, and Triumph.
Today, with the help of personal care attendants, Roy lives independently in Boston. He travels often to give speeches and is fortunate to have a voice-activated computer, which helps in his work with the foundation. A few times a year, he paints using his mouth. At Alumni Weekend's 65th Annual Alumni Awards in October 2011, Roy received two honors, the University's Young Alumni Award and a Distinguished Alumni Award from the College of Communication.
He is especially proud of his work with the Travis Roy Foundation, which he launched in 1997. To date, the foundation has awarded more than $2.5 million in grants to individuals to help them live more independent lives. Recent grants include $665 to one recipient for vehicle modifications and $7,100 to another for a ceiling lift. Other grants have funded the purchase of wheelchairs, computers, mattresses, and shower chairs.
Roy says he started the foundation as a way to give back. He counts himself fortunate that because his injury was covered nationally, he received financial support from celebrities and people around the country.
"I met people on the rehab floor who didn't have insurance or support from their families," he recalls. "All they needed was a ramp to get back in the house or a piece of equipment. These grants are not only changing the life of the paralyzed person, but changing the life of their loved ones. The husband can go to work on his own, or the caregiver no longer has to use their back to lift someone into bed. There is usually a domino effect with each grant we give out."
For those facing a challenge similar to his, Roy has some advice. "When something is a challenge, realize that things could be worse. Recognize what the challenge is and then face it. It helps to have good family and friends around you, but at some point you have to find the inner desire, that sheer will that will pull you through it," he says. "Have the mental strength to move on, and don't stay home and pout."
The Meredith E. Drench Lecture is at Sargent College, 635 Commonwealth Ave., Room 101, at 4 p.m., tomorrow, Wednesday, April 4, 2012. A reception follows in the Setterberg Lounge, second floor. All members of the BU community are invited to attend.4 Comments

I'm a lifelong knitter, from a family of knitters, gardeners, seamstresses, and sailors (yes, even the men!) - who also happen to be doctors, scientists, priests, and businesspeople (yes, even the women!). I like to design baby blankets, accessories for children, adults, and the home, and garments for children and adults. You can find my patterns through my indie line here on Craftsy or in a variety of print and online magazines and books. I happily work with local yarn stores, crafters, and indie dyers: please contact me to start a conversation about how we can support each other!
I'm a certified knitting teacher, accomplished technical editor for knitting patterns, and in my daily life am an academic science librarian.
In the summer, particularly in the American South, it is (to paraphrase Robin Williams) hot. Darned hot. But who's to tell a little girl that she can't run around in the muggy, buggy, sunny afternoon? And further, that she can't do it while wearing something pretty and pink?
This skirt was born of a desire to have a workhorse garment that was highly washable, durable, not expensive to make, and simple to knit. It's the kind of thing you won't feel bad about knitting every year after the annual growth spurt. The natural striping of the yarn means you don't need much in the way of a stitch pattern - just the little detail of garter stitch pinstripes that "melt" into a picot bindoff. It's like a popsicle and a skirt at the same time - the perfect summer combo!"
This pattern is an update of the original MagKnits version, including two new options for the waistband and clarification of language. Also, cute photos!

The growth in the number of ''elementary'' particles since the discovery of the J/ψ in November of 1974 is reviewed. An attempt is made to combine references to initial discoveries, to reviews of theory and experiment, and to elementary discussions in a way that may be useful at a wide variety of levels. Accordingly references are marked E (Elementary), I (intermediate), and A (advanced). Articles selected for incorporation in a reprint volume (to be published separately by the American Association of Physics Teachers) are marked (‡). For a shorter list of particularly helpful elementary and intermediate references, the reader may consult those marked with an asterisk (*).
Physics and modern warfare: The awkward silence48(1980); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12182View Description Hide Description
General education students enrolled in courses in physics or physical science are ill‐served by an almost total lack of discussion of the intimate links between progress in science and ''progress'' in weapon systems. We discuss in detail the great dependence of the present arms race on a healthy physics enterprise and the pervasive connections between pure and applied science and military needs.
Science and society test V: Nuclear nonproliferation48(1980); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12183View Description Hide Description
Numerical estimates are carried out on questions affecting the nation's nonproliferation policy. We have considered some aspects of thermal recycle, improved efficiency of light water reactors, advanced converters, light‐water reactor–fast breeder reactoreconomic tradeoffs, symbiotic systems, research reactors,laser isotope separation, and the thorium cycle.
Image‐space method for a classroom analysis of the diffraction patterns48(1980); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12184View Description Hide Description
A simple method is described: to form on a large fixed screen the succession of the diffraction patterns on the different planes of the diffracted field, from the aperture to infinity. The method is based on the packing effect of a lens which images the entire diffracted field in a few centimeters. A theoreticalanalysis of the diffraction field in an image space is given, together with some illustrative pictures.
Brecht's G a l i l e o: A revisionist view48(1980); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12185View Description Hide Description
Galileo is often claimed by scientists to be the first modern physicist, and because of his conflict with the Catholic Church is seen as a heroic figure fighting for the independence of pure science. Brecht, in his play G a l i l e o, has presented a revisionist view of Galileo. This view developed over several versions of the play, and finally used him as a symbol for all scientists who reject social responsibility for their work. Is this revisionist view of Galileo any more distorted than the portrayal of him as the patron saint of modern science?
Newtons laws of motion: Some interpretations of the formalism48(1980); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12186View Description Hide Description
Four distinct conceptual approaches to the treatment of Newton's laws of motion are identified and discussed.
Experience with a professionally oriented astronomy laboratory for nonscience majors48(1980); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12187View Description Hide Description
The laboratory to accompany a one‐semester descriptive astronomy course has been redesigned. Standard topics are retained, but the orientation is changed to introduce the nonscience major to the work of the professional astronomer. Student needs are met by building the laboratory around a solid foundation of astronomical observation. Several semesters of use indicate good success as measured by increased enrollment and positive student feedback.
Titius–Bode law: An astronomy project for a cloudy night48(1980); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12188View Description Hide Description
A study unit on the Titius–Bode Law of planetary distances is described. Its format is based on a Piagetian learning cycle of exploration, conceptualization, and applications. More than enough material is provided, including options, for a variety of flexible, open‐ended student activities in an astronomy observatory section faced with a cloudy night. Portions of the unit guide and related ideas may serve as starting points for independent study projects and term papers. The unit is quantitative, employing both arithmetic and algebra; it emphasizes graphical analysis to induce empirical relations.

Motion of the sprung pendulum48(1980); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12190View Description Hide Description
We extend the analysis of the motion of the sprung pendulum to show the full effects of the nonlinear coupling between horizontal and vertical oscillations. We show that even at modest amplitudes a theory involving second‐order terms only is inadequate to explain experimental results, and suggest that the discrepancy is due to nonlinear detuning from the exact resonance condition, an effect which appears only in higher order. Finally, we investigate the effect of damping on the patterns of motion.
Goals, aspirations, and attitudes of MIT undergraduate physics students48(1980); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12191View Description Hide Description
A survey of undergraduatephysics students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology was conducted in order to ascertain their career goals, their perceptions of the manpower situation in physics, and their reasons for choosing to study physics. Most of these students intend to receive a Ph.D. in physics and would prefer a career in a traditional employment sector for physicists, namely, research and teaching in a university, or research in an industrial or government laboratory. They believe that everyone who desires employment as a physicist will not be able to attain his goal. They are studying physics because they find it interesting, not because they expect it to be valuable in their future employment. A significant fraction are studying physics as a preparation for further study and/or a career in another field.
Geometrical optics derivation of the Fourier transform property of a lens48(1980); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12192View Description Hide Description
Geometrical optics and the concepts of optical path length and coherence are used to derive the Fourier transformproperties of a lens. For a parallel bundle of coherent light, the Fourier transform appears in the back focal plane of the lens; for light originating in a coherent point source at a finite distance, the Fourier transform appears in the plane conjugate to the light source.

The solution of the recurrence relation F n =a F n−1+b F n−2 is shown to be very simply connected to the number of distinct partitions of a segment of length n into p parts of length 2 and (n−2p) parts of length 1. A sum rule is obtained and known results concerning Fibonacci numbers (for which a=b=1) are recovered.
Self‐paced freshman physics laboratory and student assessment48(1980); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12175View Description Hide Description
Laboratory work is included as an essential part of any physics course because it teaches the student aspects of physics that are distinct from lecture material and that can be learned in no other way. For the same reason it presents its own problems in assessment, particularly in large first‐year university classes. For the last five years we have been putting into practice a form of self‐paced laboratory experience and assessment. The laboratory is design oriented. The grade for the course is determined by the aggregation of point values for a variable number of experiments completed in a fixed period of time to a satisfactory standard. The marks feature a degree of discrimination comparable to written theory examinations. Within the limits imposed by class size, the student has a fair degree of freedom of choice.
Geometrical analogy for the formal definition of entropy48(1980); http://dx.doi.org/10.1119/1.12176View Description Hide Description
We present a simple geometrical problem lending to an integral which has many features in common with the Clausius' integral. This example may be preliminarly discussed as a useful introduction to the entropy concept.

One Million Gone?
Mayor Michael Bloomberg remains astoundingly silent as death looms for the rent stabilization of 1 million New York City apartments affected by rent hikes and a pending vote in the state legislature.
Tenants were hit with a preliminary vote by the Rent Guidelines Board (RGB) on May 5 to hike stabilized rents by 5.5 And 8.5 Percent for one- and two-year leases respectively. Bloomberg replaced five of the nine members of that board just two weeks before the vote. Four of those five voted for the hike.
Now tenants will also likely see the state legislature renew rent stabilization laws that contain a loophole enabling erosion in the pool of stabilized apartments. The state laws, which expire June 15, are especially threatening combined with the RGB's rent hikes since they allow for deregulation of apartments once they hit $2,000 per month.
Bloomberg has remained eerily mum on the stabilization issues, sitting out lobbying efforts in Albany as tenant advocates demand that the state drop the $2,000 loophole or at least raise the cap.

But it may be due to the fact that Senate Majority Leader Joseph Bruno and assembly leader Sheldon Silver are the mayor's last hopes for a budget that will soften the need for massive service cuts in the city. Bruno is a strong opponent of rent stabilization and was a major reason why the $2,000 loophole was added to state laws the last time they were renewed in 1997. Bruno actually threatened to kill stabilization then by calling on legislators not to renew the laws. Calls to the offices of Bloomberg, Bruno, and Silver were not returned by deadline.
Some say Bloomberg is playing out a free-market fantasy, in which he supports rent regulation for now, while he subtly turns a blind eye on laws that will result in a decontrolled market over the long term. Though the mayor has created a plan to build thousands of units of affordable housing, activists argue that's not enough. "He is ignoring the fact that we are going to lose four times that number of units by decontrol," says Mike McKee, director of the New York Tenants and Neighbors Coalition.
Estimates by tenant groups show the city has lost 50,000 to 80,000 regulated apartments since 1997the more conservative figure tossed around among landlords is 35,000. Either way, about 5 percent of the 1 million rent-stabilized apartmentsor 50,000 unitsare priced to become deregulated if the current rent stabilization hike passes and the state's $2,000 cap remains, says Anita Visser of the Rent Guidelines Board.
Clearly the business community is banking on decontrol. The headline on the lead story in Crain's New York Business last week read: "Landlords Snap Up Apartment Buildings as '97 Decontrol Provision Boosts Profits." The article posits that the city will be "virtually decontrolled" within 20 years, making rent-stabilized space "one of the hottest segments of the New York real estate market."
Questions about Bloomberg's loyalty to stabilization started in 2002 when he appointed RGB chair Marvin Markus, a former Koch-administration chairman, affectionately known as Marvin "Markup" for the double-digit increases made during his tenure. Markus told the Voice he supports rent stabilization, but sees need for changes in policy. Other board members, past and present, say Markus has made no bones about supporting rent stabilization for the present, but believing in a free and fair market in the long term. A member of the board who asked not to be named said that in private conversation Bloomberg mirrored that sentiment, saying that as a businessman, Bloomberg believes the market works on its own in the long run. In the meantime, the mayor sees the need for regulation, the member says.
Martin Zelnik, another Bloomberg appointee, voted against the hike, calling it too much of a burden for renters but he also supports an eventual transition out of rent regulation. In a Voice interview, he said regulation limits developers from building more apartments, which maintains a housing shortage and outrageously high rents. Still Zelnik's vote that went against the grain may show that Bloomberg actually appointed new members who would be fair and independent. During interviews with all of the new members, each stressed that Bloomberg urged them to be independent and fair.
Some analysts say he has good intentions but can't afford to be vocal about changes that could further hamper business for landlords after he infuriated their lobby with an 18.5 percent property tax increase this year.
"Bloomberg totally sidestepped the real estate lobby. The people who suffer the most from the tax are large residential building owners, not really the homeowners. He can't turn around now and say they can't raise the rent," says Andrew White, director of the New School's Center for New York City Affairs. In pushing forth the tax hike, White says, Bloomberg actually made a major show of independence.
It's still going to take more than good intentions to deal with the mounting problems facing tenants. In any year, a staggering rent stabilization hike alone would send New Yorkers reeling. In this case, a tenant in a $1,200-a-month apartment stands to be soaked for an extra $100 a month on a two-year lease.
On a larger scale, the combination of the rent hike and the decontrol law could end up in massive displacement by putting apartments above the average tenant's income. "Vacancy deregulation is a prize for all landlords to reach. Certainly that started in the more prestigious neighborhoods," says former RGB member Ken Rosenfeld, the legal services director for Northern Manhattan Development Corporation. The development community (and Bloomberg, says Rosenfeld) are really only concerned with developing and freeing "core Manhattan"south of 110th Streetwith few concerns about displacement. However, New Yorkers have already experienced an array of problems stemming from this drive to development, including a rise in homelessness among those on fixed incomes and greater pressure on the housing markets in outlying areas when people from "core Manhattan" are displaced.
So far Bruno has not threatened death to stabilization laws as he did in 1997. "That was disastrous for him and [Governor George] Pataki politically," says Rosenfeld. Maybe they have learned their lesson, but more likely, there is simply no need for a clamor since they ultimately have what they want with the decontrol law. On the other hand, Bruno is also not yet indicating there will be a move to repeal decontrol or even to raise the $2,000 cap as tenant advocates are demanding.
Silver, a hardcore supporter of rent stabilization, has been on the case since early in the year, guiding passage of an assembly bill in February to extend rent stabilization laws and eliminate vacancy decontrol. Since then, though, Bruno's insistence that discussion of the bill be put off until after a budget has passed has stymied Silver's efforts. It's likely Bruno's plan is to stall discussion until the last minute, critics say, so that he can pass the laws with the decontrol intact and with little political damage.
Officially, there isn't much a mayor can do to alter a vote in the senate. However, in 1997, Giuliani was out with lobbying guns blazing by March in resistance to Bruno's threats to bag rent stabilization laws by June. Giuliani even aligned himself with tenants' groups he had previously battled. With that same deadline approaching, Bloomberg's budget woes may be keeping him at home as the vote nears.
In the meantime, tenant and landlord groups will spend the next month lobbying RGB members to alter the final vote on the rent stabilization hike in June. In the past decade there have been three occasions that the final decision has differed from the preliminary votetwo of those times the rates went further up. The more cynical say there is little chance of change. "This was all scripted," says Rosenfeld, arguing the landlords screamed for a double-digit increase so when the 8.5 percent hike was passed the blow wouldn't seem so hard. "The mayor was in on the entire plan and unless he calls for a change, there won't be one."
Activists like McKee are not giving up. Even a half-percentage lower saves millions of dollars for tenants, he says. Still, that decrease won't change much in the overall deregulation process.

JERUSALEM, Israel -- Israel will free 25 Egyptian prisoners in exchange for Ilan Grapel, an American-born Israeli who has been imprisoned for four months in Egypt on alleged espionage charges.
A statement issued Tuesday by the Prime Minister's office said a deal had been reached, with the assistance of the U.S., to release 25 Egyptian prisoners, including three minors, none of whom were security prisoners.
Grapel's father thanked the prime minister for securing his son's release, telling Army Radio on Tuesday he is "very happy and excited."
"I have been waiting for this day, which should have come much sooner, but was delayed because of unrelated issues," his father said.
Egyptian police arrested Grapel in Cairo last June, accusing him of being an agent for the Mossad, Israel's secret service. Grapel denied the charges.
Last January, Grapel took part in anti-government protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square, making him suspect in the government's eyes.
A third-year student at Emory University Law School in Atlanta, Ga., Grapel said he came to Cairo in June to take part in a summer intern program with a legal aid group.
Grapel immigrated to Israel in 2005, enlisting in the Israel Defense Forces as a lone soldier - someone with no immediate family in the country. He was wounded in the Second Lebanon War in the summer of 2006.

As Apple and Samsung prepare for a new trial on damages, Apple filed a motion to exclude part of the damage calculation set forth in Samsung's updated expert report on damages. In particular, Apple moved to exclude the damage calculation pertaining to the Samsung Gem phone on the ground that these calculations are based on fewer sales than were originally included in the 2012 expert report. The 2012 expert report calculated damages for the Gem based on total sales and the new report calculated sales only for Gem phones sold through Verizon. Samsung asserted that the updated damages calculations were proper because Apple presented evidence of infringement only for Gem phones sold through Verizon at the 2012 trial and Apple therefore failed to meet its burden to prove its entitlement to damages for Gem phones sold through other carriers.
The district court began its analysis of the issue by noting that "[n]either party sought to differentiate Gem models by carrier before or during trial, nor did Samsung ever once object that Apple's failure to present infringement evidence regarding Gem phones sold through other carriers limited the amount of damages Apple was entitled to seek for the Gem. Samsung's noninfringement contentions did not argue that infringement hinged on the particular carrier model for any accused phone, Robinson Decl. Exs. D-E, nor did any Samsung technical expert raise this noninfringement theory, id. Exs. F-H."
The district court then explained that "Samsung was obligated to raise all of its noninfringement contentions in advance of the 2012 trial. Thus, Samsung's failure to raise its Gem noninfringement contentions prior to the 2012 trial is itself sufficient to find that Samsung forfeited the right to raise the issue now. What is more, Samsung did not raise the Gem issue during or even after the 2012 trial concluded."
Samsung contended that because Apple bears the burden of prove on its entitlement to damages that enabled Samsung's damage expert to present a damage calculation based only on Gem phones sold through Verizon. The district court did not find this argument persuasive. "Samsung misinterprets the relevance of Apple's burden of proof in this instance. While Apple certainly bears the burden of proof to show that it is entitled to damages, see, e.g., SmithKline Diagnostics, Inc. v. Helena Labs. Corp., 926 F.2d 1161, 1163-64 (Fed. Cir. 1991), to this day Samsung has failed to present any evidence that the non-Verizon Gem models differ from the Verizon Gem in any way that could impact Apple's entitlement to damages."
As a result, the district court found that Samsung had forfeited the argument. "Accordingly, this case has proceeded along the assumption that proof of infringement as to one Gem model was adequate proof of infringement as to all models. To the extent this assumption was incorrect, it was up to Samsung to raise this noninfringement argument before the 2012 trial. Because Samsung failed to raise this issue before the 2012 trial, and because to this day Samsung has still not produced any evidence to suggest that the various Gem models differ in any way that could conceivably impact Apple's entitlement to damages, the Court finds that Samsung has forfeited this argument."
Thus, the district court excluded the new damage calculation pertaining to the Gem phones.
