What Will Be Google's Android Strategy for Motorola?
First, let me make two assumptions so that we are all on the same page:
1. Google will soon divest a variety of Motorola business units, including the TV set-top boxes.
2. Google will keep the smartphone/tablet business, and perhaps some related items.
With that out of the way, let's discuss Google's constraints and options with respect to how it can plan an Android product portfolio for smartphones, tables and related devices.
The first issue is the most difficult one, and indeed the most painful one to ask and answer, and that is: What are Motorola's capabilities anymore?
Consider this: In the last six months, Google's other hardware partners have accomplished this:
Asus made a Nexus 7 tablet starting at $199 Samsung made a Nexus 10 tablet starting at $399 LG made a Nexus 4 phone starting at $299 Acer made a Chromebook (laptop) starting at $199
It is hardly controversial to say all of these are better and more cost-effective devices than anything Motorola has produced.
Even if Motorola had not been distracted by the pending (August 2011 to May 2012) merger with Google, could it have profitably engineered and manufactured any of these four devices at these kinds of prices?
This type of capability breaks down into several dimensions:
1. Timing: How quickly can Motorola cough up a new design and deliver the finished product?
2. Quality: Can the fit and finish compete with Acer, Asus, Samsung, et al.?
3. Cost: Can Motorola accomplish any of this at a competitive price?
Obviously these three things hang together, to some extent. You can always have at least one out of these three. However, even two out of three is not good enough -- this is the big boys' game now, so you cannot tolerate falling behind on a single metric.
All of these prices for the newest Google gear listed above has been class-leading, and widely lauded. It also appears that most of this work has happened in Asia. Yes, it's true that I'm not saying that all or most of the work needs to happen in Asia, but there is one thing here that is a bit suspicious to me, and that's Chicago.
Motorola is primarily in Chicago. When it comes to producing a piece of $199 cutting-edge portable computer that only months earlier used to cost $399 or $499, Chicago is not what comes to mind. When I close my mind and try to imagine Chicago in the 2013 mobile computing economy, the only thing that comes to mind is a Trabant car from East Germany, ca. 1977: Bureaucratic labor, high cost, moving slowly.
Acer, Asus, HTC, LG and Samsung move quickly. They can engineer a device from scratch and bring it to market in four months. Google bragged how Asus did the Nexus 7 in four months. Now they are talking about Motorola taking at least 12 to 18 months to bring a device to market. Getting Motorola into shape to compete against Asus or LG seems as difficult as preparing a hobby tennis player for playing in the Wimbledon finals against Bjorn Borg.


text: I know early on a baby is supposed to eat every three hours during the day and no more than four hour stretches at night. My baby is past the age of the "wake them up for night feedings" and she gains weight well (6-10 oz a week at times). The day time feedings I was making sure she ate every 3 hours, but occasionally she wants to go one four hour stretch in the day. She seems to be perfectly capable of "alerting" me that she's hungry now that she's two months old. When can I just let her judge her own eating times?

Hi - can you point me to a book or website that will give me the low down on how to effectively return to work and keeping an exclusively breastmilk-fed-baby? (the boards here are great for specific issues - same w/kellymom.) I pumped exclusively for my son, but only before I went back to work. I'm returning to work in 4 wks and would like to continue to give my daughter breastmilk for as long as possible.
Just a fair warning - I tend to provide a lot of information in posts so you have background :)
I had an Ameda Purely Yours double eletric pump that served me tremendously well for my son, but broke on me for this baby. I've been using a Medela PISA for when I do pump now, but it's not often. I was thinking of just purchasing the motor part of the Ameda since I have so many parts for it already. The Medela is a loaner.
I'm told that the Medela is so much better/strong than the Ameda, but I'm having issues. I've been battling thrush since she's born (8wks now). I tried pumping to lessen contact and try to get rid of the thrush. Over a 12 -15 hr period, I pumped every 2 hrs for 20-25 mins. The first session I was pumping enough for 2 bottles - by the end, I wasn't even getting enough for 1 bottle. I stopped b/c I didn't want to screw up my supply. I did not have these issues w/my son w/the Ameda. But maybe it's not the pump and it's me.
So I'm looking to educate myself on what to do, what not to do, so that I don't screw up my supply and be unable to feed her. I don't think I should try to build a stash now b/c of the thrush. (I'm much better, but she still has white pinpoints in her mouth even after an extended round of diflucan for her and I'm still on it)
Not returning to work is not an option. I'll be gone approximately 10 hrs each day. I have an office, so a place to pump at work is not a problem, but time may be. I won't know how feasible it is until I go back. But I want to set myself up as best as I can.
I'm looking to learn whether I should take supplements for a greater supply or do something specific, etc. Any direction(s) you can send me would be appreciated.
Thanks for your patience in reading my novel!

Dr. Pradeep
Dental implants are surgical fixtures that are inserted into the jawbone to allow fusing over a span of few months. The implant works as a root replacement for a missing tooth. Eventually, this artificially placed tooth root helps in holding the bridge (partial denture) or the replacement tooth firmly. Dental implants are even designed to match your natural teeth, rendering a strong foundation to both the removable and the fixed replacement teeth.
Are you a candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are used to replace a single tooth, several teeth, or all of the teeth. The goal of teeth replacement is to restore function as well as esthetics.
When it comes to tooth replacement, dental implants is of the three options available. Deciding on which option to choose depends on many factors. Specifically for dental implants, these factors include:
location of missing tooth or teeth,
quantity and quality of the jawbone where the dental implant is to be placed,
health of the patient,
patient preference.
A dental surgeon examines the area to be considered for the dental implant and makes a clinical assessment of whether the patient is a good candidate for a dental implant.
Here are a few advantages of getting a dental implant done:
Improved Appearance: Dental implants provide an almost natural look to the teeth. Since they are designed in a way to amalgamate with your bone, they subsequently become permanent.
Enhanced Speech: Dental implants let you speak effortlessly and without the scare of your teeth slipping inside the mouth and meddling with your speech; which is otherwise a common phenomenon with ill-fitted dentures.
More Comfort: Since the implants become a part of you, they do away with the hassles accompanying removable dentures.
Easier Eating: Sliding dentures might pose difficulty while chewing. Dental implants help you with an almost painless eating experience owing to the fact that they function just the way your original teeth would.
Improved Oral Health: There is no need of reduction or alteration of the surrounding teeth in order to support the implants. Hence most of the teeth are left just as they are, improving one's oral hygiene.
Durability: Implants are tough and resistant, and can last a lifetime if taken proper care of.
Convenience: Dental implants spare one the inconvenience that is so common with removable dentures and at the time of fixing them to their place with messy adhesives.
Healthy gums and strong jaw bones are the only two requisites for a dental implant. Maintaining good oral hygiene and visiting the dentist regularly should be at the top of the priority list after getting the implants done. However, one needs to put in the same amount and quality of care (read brushing and flossing) to the dental implants as one would've had to his/her original teeth. A thorough rinse with the help of an antibacterial mouth wash is a must along with periodic dental check-ups.

Often we are caught by a piercing pain that shoots through the roots of our teeth right up to our cranial region, at fairly unsuspecting moments. The pain can either cause momentary discomfort or end up being excruciating and difficult to bear. Rushing to the dentist is usually the only recourse left for us to take at such times. Most of such complaints meet the same verdict, that of, 'sensitive tooth'. The problem of sensitive tooth has emerged as one of the most recurring and prevailing dental ailments.
Usually exposing the affected tooth to extreme tastes like sweet and sour or hot and cold food items can trigger off sensitivity in your teeth. Tooth sensitivity usually occurs when the nerve endings are exposed to food and other foreign particles due to a condition of gum pull back. This primarily takes place due to insufficient oral care which results in the decomposition of tooth enamel. This also makes one vulnerable to tooth decay and cavity formation. Inflammation of gums and persistent intake of acid inducing food products are among the other prominent factors leading to tooth sensitivity. The incidence of tooth sensitivity also increases with age. However, it is a fairly defeasible disease and one of the foremost steps to rectify the condition is meticulous and regular dental care.
Some of the steps to follow while dealing with sensitive tooth can be as follows.
1. Regular oral care: Maintaining the oral hygiene is paramount to avoid the recurrence of tooth sensitivity. Use of a proper brush in the right technique at least twice a day is mandatory. For the best results and to avoid gum bleeding, dentists recommend the use of a soft bristled toothbrush. Over and above brushing, one must use fluoride and antiseptic mouthwash for rinsing purposes. Use of floss is also a good practice.
2. Using a proper toothpaste: The choice of toothpaste needs to be judicious. The best kind is a fluoridated toothpaste with a lesser proportion of tartar present in it. Regular use may substantially reduce the harm caused by tooth decay and work as a viable solution to sensitive tooth.
3. Regular visits to the dentist: Prevention is better than cure. As such, it helps to make periodic visits to the dentist to check the condition of your teeth rather than making an SOS rush to her or his clinic when disaster strikes. Oral hygiene can be best maintained when abiding by the instructions given by the dentists.
Malocclusion refers to the general arrangement of teeth and the manner in which the lower and upper sets of teeth fit. In optimal conditions, the upper set of teeth should fit slightly over the lower set of teeth. Malocclusion is a condition wherein the teeth are improperly aligned. Often, malocclusion tends to be a hereditary condition. The symptoms that indicate the occurrence of malocclusion include:
Abnormal teeth alignment.
Irregular facial appearance.
Discomfort or difficulty during chewing or biting.
Mouth breathing (breathing using the mouth instead of the nose).
Malocclusion and Oral Health-
Malocclusion, also known as bad bite, is capable of affecting your overall oral health. This is because crowded and crooked teeth tend to hinder the proper cleaning of the mouth. This leads to tooth decay, gum diseases and even tooth loss.
Malocclusion has a negative impact on the maintenance of oral health. Studies showed individuals without malocclusion were able to maintain a better oral hygiene in comparison to those with the condition.
The improper alignment of teeth makes it rather difficult for the brush to reach in certain parts of the teeth thereby failing to remove bacteria and germs from particular areas for an extended period of time. This results in bad breath.
It also makes flossing difficult and it creates hindrance in the way of maintaining proper oral hygiene.
The improper adjustment of teeth leads to gum decay owing to the faulty cleaning. It promotes the growth of harmful bacteria that leads to weakening of tooth and gums.
- Owing to the misalignment of teeth, chewing becomes difficult. This often goes to hamper and mar the way one speaks as well. Malocclusion also results in wearing off of the tooth enamel. This the teeth to appear yellow due to the inability of the brush to reach every place. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a dentist and ask a free question.
Tooth lost to either decay or gum disease leaves a dent in many areas - facial appearance, chewing, facial structure support, etc. Fixed dentures were a good substitute, however, with one major disadvantage. They required removal of natural tooth structure from adjacent healthy teeth. The next big search was to find ways to avoid this, and the result is the dental implant.
The tooth has a visible part called the crown and an invisible part called the root which is hidden in the jaw bone. While the fixed denture replaces only the crown, the implant replaces both the crown and the root.
How implants are done: Once a tooth is lost and the bone is healed to the desired extent, a biocompatible titanium post that is screwed into the bone. This material has the unique property of osseointegration - it fuses to the bone, which is almost like a natural tooth in its socket. This complete fusion may take about 2 to 6 months depending on overall health. After it gets absorbed well into the bone, a crown that matches the adjacent teeth is fixed on it. Implants can also be used for replacing multiple teeth or for overdentures.
There are certain reasons why implants work so well, listed below are some:
- The material: Titanium is biocompatible and does not cause any adverse reaction in the body. It fuses to the bone completely and is not just put in place to fill the gap. That ensures that the support provided for the new crown or bridge is as good as the original tooth with a root embedded in the jaw bone
- Post-implant care: Required, but not to the extent required by dentures. There is very minimal difference between caring for an implant and caring for an implant
- Function: As the implant is completely fused and embedded in the bone, it functions as good as a natural tooth in terms of chewing efficiency and pressure that can be applied on it. This is not the case with dentures
- Gum health: Bridges have an adverse effect on the gums with a constant mild pressure exerted on them. Implants do not do that and therefore are more friendly on the gums
- Bone health: While bridges affect the alveolar bone health by allowing them to continue to degenerate, implants occupy the space in the bone and do not allow further degeneration. This is probably the most important advantage of implants.
- Aesthetics: Needless to say, the look of a well-done implant far surpasses that of the dentures.
Check with your dentist if you are an ideal candidate for implant, and if yes, it surely is worth the investment.

Over the next few months, thoughts of Orena would surface. I began looking over Keyes family pictures, gathering death certificates, organizing my census reports, re-reading family histories, and searching for this woman …....
Orena Cordelia Keyes, born the 1st of November, 1852, was a mere slip of a girl, fifteen or sixteen years old in the fall of 1868, when her Uncle James came back to the the family farm. Not long after the Gold Rush of 1849, James had left this corner of Tennessee, a place where Boone, Siever, and Blount are historic names. He didn't strike gold in California, but instead he made his way to Oregon's Willamette Valley. There he did become rich, at least to the standards of that time and place. Now Uncle James had returned to Tennessee as he wanted to take some of his family back to Oregon to share in the riches of that land.
Orena's father listened with interest to his brother's stories about the Willamette Valley's fertile land which was "dirt cheap." In addition, after the stream of gold seekers had diminished, travel was also comparatively inexpensive. Stories were being told as how it cost less to live and travel to the Oregon country than to live at home during the winter in the eastern portion of the country. Orena's father, uncles, brothers and cousins were intrigued by James' stories and his willingness to take them back to Oregon. David Keyes, Orena's father, committed to go Oregon and welcomed the idea of packing up his family for the trek to Oregon with his brother James.
By the fall of 1868, Orena's father and brothers had made preparations to sell the family farm. Not an easy choice to leave this land where the Keyes were such an integral part of the area. Doran, Lowery, Ward, Hawkins, Shoun, Donnelly, as well as Keyes, had lived in these valleys for nearly a hundred years and were well known in this northeastern section of Tennessee. Orena's great grandfather Alexander Doran fought in the Battle of Kings Mountain during the Revolutionary War. He had finally came home to die after being taken ill in the War of 1812. This precious corner of the world was just a valley or so away from Abingdon, Virginia, where her grandparents, Margaret Doran and James Keyes (father of Uncle James) met and married. Their ties to this land ran deep and wide, here where the Watauga River cut through the mountains and the names of Laurel Bloomery, Silver Lake, Grayson, and Butler are names of family and home.
Times were changing. The dislocations caused by battle between North and South had left the land and people broken and in disarray. Now, Uncle James had convinced her father that Oregon held riches for the family. Orena's mother, Susan Jane Ward Keyes, may have had some misgivings about leaving the valleys and hills of her family, her Methodist church, --- and the grave of her baby Benjamin. Though it was almost 5 years since the little four-year old passed away, Orena's mother's pain never seemed to leave her--- nor would it in Oregon.
At nearly sixteen, Orena would have been a great help to her mother when it came to deciding what to take or leave, packing their household goods, as well as the regular household duties. Thirteen year old Jane Rebecca, sometimes called Jane, and sometimes Becky, and the youngest, Margaret, would also have helped, but Orena as the eldest would have been her mother's strong right arm.
Emotions ran high, probably especially so for Orena's brothers, John Ward at nearly 20, James Edward Leonardis, 17, and even 14 year old Alexander Doran as they worked by their father's side preparing for the trip. Their heads filled with Uncle James' stories of the rich Oregon country, excitement of the adventure of a sea voyage and a trek to a new land mixed with the pain of leaving the people and land so dear. Before the Keyes left, they went one last time to Laurel Bloomery and the Keyes Cemetery to visit the grave of little Benjamin. Now they were ready to depart from their home in Tennessee for New York City.
Travel from New York to Aspinwall, on the east coast of Panama, had dropped significantly. In 1868, a cabin birth had dropped from $400 to $150 from the year before – and steerage was now only $50. When the family arrived in Aspinwall, the Keyes entourage would have debarked and perhaps stayed at one of the hotels that had sprung up for the American and European travelers.
The next day Uncle James and Orena's father would have purchased tickets to travel on the Panama Railroad across the 45 mile isthmus --- $25 per person plus 10 cents a pound for luggage --- for the 4 hour trip! While their mother may have fretted over the possibilities of theft, native riots, and the frightful "Panama Fever," Orena and her brothers were most likely enthralled with the adventure; the jungle itself was full of new sights, sounds and creatures; Panamanian natives caught their attention with brightly colored clothing and signature straw hats; they might have come upon a more worldly priest dressed in silk robes – not like the somber black suited Methodist preachers of home. Once the Keyes family was aboard the railroad car, the unfamiliar sights of the jungle, numerous slides and reminders of the danger was overcome by the sight at the Summit of the Cierro Gigante. Here Orena and family, like Balboa, could see the waters of both the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. Once they arrived at Panama City, the Keyes embarked on the last leg of the sea voyage to Portland Oregon and went directly to Benton County by way of the Willamette River (according to a grandson of Zachary Keyes).
Orena and her younger sisters had an adventure of a lifetime by the time they finally arrived in Benton County. Now the family energy would be directed to finding a place to live – probably with Uncle James at first --- unpacking and settling into a daily routine in the lush Willamette Valley. By 1870, her father had purchased a prime farm of 378 acres just 3 ½ miles south-west of Corvallis, Oregon. In short order, the Keyes farm took shape as shown in the picture above. The second story balcony in the front of the house was reminiscent of the Keyes' southern roots.
Even with all the activity devoted to getting settled into their new home, changes were starting to occur in the family. Orena's younger brother James was getting ready to leave the family home. In about 1872-73, he and his cousin Zachary had, with a loan from their Uncle James, purchased a herd of 600 Costwold ewes to trail to eastern Oregon's Wasco County. About the same time, the health of the uncles, John and James, began to fail and Orena, according to family stories, took on the role of taking care of her uncles. While the remaining four siblings went on about their lives as young people do, Orena took on the caretaker role that she would follow throughout her life.
By 1875, the son of a prosperous Benton county farmer had met, courted and proposed marriage to Orena's youngest sister, Margaret Delilah. The marriage was the Keyes social highlight of the year. James E. L. and Zachary, brother and cousin, came from eastern Oregon for the wedding vows of Margaret and Abiathar Barrett Newton. All of the family gathered at the Philomath home for the wedding as well as a historic picture taking event that not only recorded the wedding couple but the Keyes family as it was in 1875.

While in eastern Oregon, Orena's younger brother James met, courted and married Agnes Brown in 1877. About the same time, her oldest brother John Ward Keyes joined his brother and cousin in eastern Oregon. The Corvallis homestead that had its full complement of Keyes young people was down by half, but still a vibrant place with young Alexander, Becky, and Orena herself. However by February 1881, tragedy once again hit the Keyes family. Orena's mother was taken ill. She died on February 20, 1881. Then a double hit, her handsome youngest brother Alexander was also felled by the illness. He died just three days after his mother. The Keyes family gathered once again, this time to take mother and son to join Uncles James and John in the cemetery on the hill, Mt. Union Cemetery.

Orena's life now changed dramatically. No longer was she the lovely young daughter who helped her mother, but she now took over managing the household for her father. By late fall 0f 1881, Becky had met and fallen in love with a young man from back home in Tennessee, Roderick Nelson Donnelly. They were married and moved to the Mitchell area where James and cousin Zachary now ranched. Her older brother John was back and forth between Corvallis and Mitchell, but in 1884 he met and married Sarah Brumfield. Orena now was the unofficial matriarch of the Keyes family, running the household and taking care of her father till the end of his life. During this time, Orena, reportedly, did have at least one spot of joy in her life – her nephew Benjamin Newton, one of the sons of her youngest sister Margaret. According to family stories, Ben lived with Orena off and on throughout his life.
However, by the December, 1908, her dear younger brother James E. L. came from eastern Oregon to spend the winter with her and Henry. James' health was failing and his family hoped he might do better in the warmer climate of the Willamette Valley. James seemed to rally and wrote encouraging letters to his family, but after the first of the year, his health was failing.

Pet, I will write you A Short Letter today I am well I received A card from Ward a day or sow A gow they were all well there I got to Corvallice all right the Day that I left your place I did not find Phil till the Next morning as he was gowing to school he and Keyes were out to H C Dunnes and stayed three or four days thanksgiving I have been working some for Henry on the ranch running A grain Drill and painting his yard fence and Wool shed I am gowing up to Pilomath to Day to see sister Mag and her folks
With Love to all

NOTE: Pet was his special name for his younger daughter by his first wife Agnes. Pet was living in Klamath Falls OR at the time of this letter. One of his younger sons Phil must have been going to school in the valley, as did his daughter Pet when she was in high school. Henry C. Dunn, Orena's husband had taken over running of the Keyes farm.
Mrs. Agnes Keyes
Pet, I will write you A few line to day I am well and hope your are well and that the Babies are over the chicken pockes and are well and harty
I had A Letter from home7th of this month the folkes were all well then the wetheir had been very Cold tier the themomiter was down to 24 below zero we had A least 8 inches of snow here the themomiter was down to 5 Above zero one morning the snow lay on the ground for ten dayes I am Chowring on the ranch for Henry Dun I started in to chop cord wood for him and the storm came on and I haven't choped since I will be down to see you as soon as he gets A hand to take mi place hands seemes to be scarse here that will work on A ranch I haven't saw Phill since New Years he was well then with the Exception of his fingers that he got cut they were healing up all right
from your father
J E. Keyes
Orena cared for her brother in those last months and days. Never again did he see his daughter, Pet. He died February 13, 1909. Orena and Henry had James body sent back to his home in Mitchell for burial.
The next year tragedy again struck. Orena's husband Henry died suddenly of a heart attack – just a year and a half after her brother James. By July 10, 1910, Orena was left alone in the lovely house she and Henry had built. She lived in this house alone until a few years before her death. Her nephew Benjamin Newton apparently ran the farm. He and his family lived next door in the old homestead house her father built. In 1930, Orena lived for a time with Benjamin's sister, her niece Margaret Stephens. In the fall of 1934, Orena fell and broke her hip. It seems that she never fully recovered. Orena Cordelia Keyes Dunn died on 7 May 1935. The farm that her father had bought and built up was reportedly left to her nephew Benjamin Newton.
On another typical Oregon spring day, with rainy-sleet pelting me, I again visit the Mt. Union Cemetery. A sadness slinks in and around me. Now I know for sure that Orena is buried to the left of the big gray stone with DUNN cut deep into the granite, but she has no stone. Orena Cordelia Keyes Dunn cared for her Uncles James and John in their last days, for her mother Susan and brother Alexander during their last illness before they died in 1881. She cared for her father from the time of her mother's death until David Keyes joined his Susan. Orena cared for nephew Benjamin throughout his life. She cared for her brother James E. L Keyes when he died. She was always there for her Keyes family.
Who cared for Orena? Was there no one left who cared enough to make sure that her last resting place had a stone that said,

Nursing that Irish Hangover
What, exactly, is an Irish hangover you might ask?
For most people, it's the same as a regular hangover (dehydration, vomiting, possibly waking up next to a bearded lady), only the sun is still up 'cuz you started partying at ten in the morning.
In my case, it mostly concerns dealing with a slew of sore face muscles caused by laughing too much. The following video will do that to ya:
I know this vid is old, but hell, it ain't stoppin' Mr. Krause and I from grabbin' our firearms to join the hunt. Besides, the mystery of this southern leprechaun is as funny as Kyle Farnsworth is terrifying.
And believe me, that's a lot.
Happy Friday!
6 Comments
Only in Mobile, Ala can a leprechaun get hooked on crack and give out fake gold and have to live in an old knotty pine.
He should have stayed on the straight and narrow and gone to Gerogia, where the Peach snapps and the spanish moss would at least give him a good night's rest and a pillow………Uneducated little green clothed dude…bet he was in that tree wearing an A's cap!
Rays Renegade
I hope you are no longer seeing green or being green. I did not have one drink yesterday but today a group of us from the train are going out for food and drinks for a friend last day at work.
13 days till Opening Day! Woohoo!
RR — Uneducated?!? I find A's fans (all ten of them) to be pretty well learned😉
Emma — Nah. To be honest, I didn't have one drink. It was my ode to St. Pat.
Waking up next to a bearded lady is probably preferable to waking up next to a bearded man. So I would think.
Was it me or did that female anchor slip and say "f*cklore" instead of "folklore?"


text: Do any parents of preemies here have there lo's on RSV meds for the RSV season? My ped ordered 6 mths of the meds without asking me if I wanted to give them to dd.

My daughter-in-law will be going on her first business trip since her 10-month-old was born. Because of the airlines' new rules, she needs to find 3 oz. bottles to put her milk into so she can carry it back on the plane. Can anyone tell me where she can get these odd-sized bottles? She will be gone for four days and would prefer not to pump and dump.
Thanks for your help!

Students in our graduate program and Monmouth University's Polling Institute are collaborating on a research project to determine the extent to which New Jersey municipalities use their Web sites to inform, transact with, and engage citizens. It offers students opportunities to work hands-on with faculty and institute directors to collect and analyze data. Student researchers Bryce Jacobs, Fred Strahl, and Alison Ditommaso are pictured above with Dr. Kathryn Kloby, holding their certificates of appreciation given at an E-Government in New Jersey Awards Program held in Spring 2011.
Helene Schlegel's conference paper on governmental transparency was selected as the best paper presented by a graduate student at the Northeast Conference of Public Administration at Rutgers-Newark in Fall 2010. Helene is pictured above accepting the award from the conference chair, Dr. Larry Miller of the School of Public Affairs and Administration at Rutgers-Newark. Helene is collaborating with faculty to publish this research in a scholarly journal.
In summer 2012, graduate students Susan Kane and Andrew Spata developed questions for a national poll conducted by the Monmouth University Polling Institute. Their questions addressed the domestic use of drone aircraft, as part of their course work in "Public Opinion and Media," a course cross listed between Public Policy and Corporate Communication and offered by Patrick Murray, director of the Polling Institute.

Absolut Oz: A Baz Luhrmann Production
When Baz Luhrmann speaks about how he came up with the concept for Absolut Oz, a new limited edition vodka, he describes that no matter what medium he works with - film, theatre, opera, music - his main focus is on conveying an idea through storytelling.
This emphasis on the idea is important when looking at how Luhrmann approached this collaboration.
Over the years, scores of artists have re-imagined the Absolut bottle in a variety of forms. It has been reshaped as a sculpture of neon lights, incorporated into furniture, and turned into a motor scooter, among other things. The bottle is no longer just a canvas, but its own medium in which an artist can express his or her idea.
For a film director known for making big movies, he approached this project no differently, expressing a very large, powerful idea through this unusual medium. According to him, "Absolut Oz is a distillation of the unifying truth that we are all equal under the sun."

Since this winter began, a 13-year-old girl in Fairmount Heights, Md., and a 33-year-old woman in Kansas City, Kan., died in fires ignited by electric space heaters. Three children, ages 4, 5, and 9, from Rome, N.Y., died in a fire in which bedding was pushed up against a heater. Two girls, ages 7 and 4, from Walden, N.Y., died in a fire associated with a "wood pellet� stove and a mother and son from Long Island died when their fireplace sparked a fire in the basement. Four adults and five children in Seattle, Wash., all suffered carbon monoxide poisoning when they brought a charcoal-burning hibachi inside.
During this season, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) is aware of at least 51 deaths from fires started by heaters and fireplaces. The CPSC reminds consumers to follow safety precautions when purchasing and using electric or fuel-fired heaters and fireplaces.
"CPSC has worked with industry to improve safety standards for heaters, but consumers must exercise care in how they use heaters and fireplaces," said CPSC Chairman Hal Stratton. "Every home needs working smoke alarms and a carbon monoxide alarm."
In a recent year, there were about 10,900 residential fires and about 190 deaths associated with portable or fixed local heaters. There were 15,500 fires and 40 deaths associated with fireplaces and chimneys. And there were about 100 deaths from carbon monoxide from heating systems, ranges/ovens, and water heaters.
Heaters can cause fires if they are placed too close to flammable materials such as drapes, furniture, or bedding. Fireplaces can cause fires if the chimney is cracked, blocked, or coated with creosote, or if sparks and embers can reach flammable materials. Fuel-burning appliances can cause carbon monoxide poisoning if there is improper venting or incomplete combustion.
Additional space heater safety tips include:
-Choose a heater that has been tested to the latest safety standards and certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory. These heaters will have the most up-to-date safety features, while older space heaters may not meet the newer safety standards. CPSC worked to upgrade industry standards for electric, kerosene, and vented and unvented gas space heaters. An automatic cut-off device is now required to turn off electric or kerosene heaters if they tip over. More guarding around the heating coils of electric heaters and the burner of kerosene heaters also is required to prevent fires.
-Place the heater on a level, hard and nonflammable surface, not on rugs or carpets or near bedding or drapes. Keep the heater at least three feet from bedding, drapes, furniture, or other flammable materials.
-Keep doors open to the rest of the house if you are using an unvented fuel-burning space heater. This helps prevent pollutant build-up and promotes proper combustion. Follow the manufacturer's instructions to provide sufficient combustion air to prevent carbon monoxide production.
-Never leave a space heater on when you go to sleep. Never place a space heater close to any sleeping person.
-Turn the space heater off if you leave the area. Keep children and pets away from space heaters.
-Do not use a kitchen range or oven to heat your house because it could overheat or generate carbon monoxide.
-Have a smoke alarm with fresh batteries on each level of the house and inside every bedroom. In addition, have a carbon monoxide alarm outside the bedrooms in each separate sleeping area.
-Be aware that mobile homes require specially designed heating equipment. Only electric or vented fuel-fired equipment should be used.
-Have gas and kerosene space heaters inspected annually to ensure proper operation.
Fireplace safety tips:
-Have flues and chimneys inspected before each heating season for leakage and blockage by creosote or debris.

By Kimberly Hefling: The Associated Press
SPRINGFIELD, Va. — Don't expect a rush order if you call Joanna Williamson's jewelry business. She's a military spouse, and it's moving season.
About 800,000 service members move each year — nearly half during the summer. Moving is a ritual repeated nearly every three years on average for military families.
It's also one that Williamson and other military spouses say could be made easier.
They are asking Congress to let military spouses opt to claim the same state of residence as their wives or husbands, who are allowed by law to keep their original residency as they relocate.
Having that option, the spouses say, would prevent many hassles associated with every move, such as obtaining a new driver's license and reregistering to vote. In some cases, it would eliminate the need for couples to file separate tax returns, and lower the income taxes that some spouses pay.
"It may seem like that's just such a tiny little thing to get your driver's license changed and go change your registration. How is that such a big deal? When you move over and over and over again, it starts to become a really big deal," said Williamson, 38, from her kitchen in a Washington suburb as movers loaded her family's belongings into a truck.
The move to Port Hueneme, Calif., about 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles, north of is the sixth in eight years for Williamson and her husband, Lt. Cmdr. Marcus Williamson, 39, who have two children. Days after they arrive in California, he will go to Afghanistan for his third war deployment since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. She will enroll the children in a new school, move the family into the new house, then head to get a new driver's license.
Congress passed the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act in the 1940s to help eliminate the hassles of moving so troops could concentrate instead on fighting. Under the law, service members who owe taxes on their main income pay it in the state of residency.
A little more than half of all troops today are married, a higher percentage than in World War II. But being married to a service member can be a professional sacrifice.
Military spouses are less likely to be employed, more likely to be seeking work, and earn less than those married to someone in the civilian work force, according to a 2005 RAND Corp. study. Frequent moves are a major factor in the difference.
A happy military spouse is considered vital to keeping a service member in the military, and government programs in recent years have sought to help spouses train in easily transferrable jobs.
Williamson said she would like to have the same residency as her husband: Gainesville, Fla., where they met and married, where his family lives and where they plan to live after retirement. Instead, her residency has bounced around to Mississippi, Rhode Island, and Georgia over the years, while his remained the same.
"I think at this crucial time … years into our conflict, it's one of the small ways that we can say that we recognize the sacrifice of the military spouse," Williamson said.
Williamson said the law change wouldn't have a financial effect on her business, making jewelry for military wives.
But it could affect the income taxes paid by some military spouses.
Rebecca Poynter, 45, an Army spouse who testified before Congress last month on behalf of the law change, said she first realized the discrepancy when she moved from McKinney, Texas, to Fort Meade, Md., with a major corporation. Her income tax went from zero to 10 percent, so she brought home $500 less a month even though her overall pay remained the same.
"It's unusual for me to keep my job, but for that to happen on the other side of it, I just thought that that was unfair," Poynter said.
Poynter said the way the law is structured now, many couples put personal property such as an automobile in the military member's name to avoid many hassles. Sometimes, that leads to suppression of property for the spouse.
Williamson and Poynter met through the Military Spouse Business Association, and have led the effort on Capitol Hill to get the law changed. The cause has garnered support online among other military spouses who have written of their own moving struggles on a Facebook page dedicated to getting the law changed.
The legislation is sponsored by Sens. Richard Burr, R-N.C., and Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Rep. John Carter, R-Texas. Under it, the spouse would have to have residency in the same state as the military member to take advantage of the law, and doing so would be optional.
The legislation recently passed the Senate Veterans' Affairs Committee. At a committee hearing, R. Chuck Mason, a lawyer with the Congressional Research Service, testified that based on the proposal's wording, there may be court challenges in the future as to the constitutionality of extending the right to spouses.
The legislation would have no expense to the federal government.
What financial impact the legislation would have on states with a large military population is difficult to gauge because military spouses are such a mobile population and there's a wide variety of potential scenarios, said Bert Waisanen, a fiscal analyst with the National Conference of State Legislatures.
Mark Needham, executive director of the Kentucky Commission on Military Affairs, said some states with military bases may have concerns about a potential loss in tax revenue, but the legislation is backed by Kentucky officials because it's a way to help military families. The state is home to Fort Campbell and Fort Knox and has about 40,000 active duty service members.
"It's really minimal," Needham said of the potential loss in tax revenue. "It wouldn't even be a blip on the radar screen."
Like Williamson, military spouse Poynter and her husband are in the middle of moving. Williamson said they are confident other military spouses in the Washington region will continue the lobbying to get the legislation passed.
"There are other spouses that are in D.C. that have said, 'What can I do?"' Williamson said.

Ethiopic codices digitizedMonday, June 11th, 2012
This past week we were visited by two scholars from the Textual History of the Ethiopic Old Testament (THEOT) project. Made up of scholars from around the world, THEOT's director Steve Delamarter and his assistant Jeremy Brown, both from George Fox University, spent a day examining and digitizing our Ethiopic manuscripts from the J. Rendel Harris Collection.
The goal of the THEOT project is to reconstruct the textual history of the Ethiopic Old Testament by sampling passages from each book of the bible from a couple dozen important manuscripts from around the world. While one particular manuscript at Haverford was of great interest to the project team, they were kind enough to digitize all six of our Ethiopic texts.
Steve and Jeremy began their day by setting up their digitization equipment in the library's group study room. They came loaded down with laptops, cameras, camera stands and tripods, and got to work imaging the manuscripts and creating quire maps of the page signatures. Taking the better part of the day to get through all six manuscripts, they imaged the works from cover to cover (including, of course, the covers), shot additional close-ups of important details, and analyzed the foliation of each manuscript by creating "quire maps." The resulting digital files, such as these images of a prayers and hymns manuscript (RH 23a), will be a great boon to our faculty and students, as well as to scholars from afar.
At the end of the day while the images were being processed on their computers we were able to show them a few other gems from the J. Rendel Harris Collection, including a rare 14th-century Samaritan Pentateuch. We're grateful to Steve and Jeremy for making time in their schedule to visit and work with our manuscripts. This type of cooperative work in collections digitization is a win-win for all involved!

Congrats to Tsveti that she will finally marry her boyfriend Mihail.
And she won't play any tournament before Olympics.
Good luck in Rio. And I think it's hard for Dimi and her to be qualified in Mix Double.
Hope she can recover her fatigue injury and take care in Rio.

Interview: ??????? ?????????: ???? ????? ?? ??????? ???? ???????? - ????? - Sportal.bg
Google translation:
Tsvetana Pironkova: No time to rest after the wedding
The best Bulgarian tennis player Tsvetana Pironkova ended its involvement of "Wimbledon" after losing in the first round of the eighth in the world rankings Belinda Bencic. Now Pironkova its forthcoming return to Bulgaria and wedding before starting preparations for the Olympics in Rio. Fleur very rarely gives interviews to Bulgarian media, but in London took time for readers of "Bulgaria Today" despite the disappointment of losing "Wimbledon."
- Fleur, did not expect to play on Centre Court "Wimbledon." What was the difference for you and what it feels like to play there?
- It was definitely a surprise, they told me maybe 40 minutes before the game. I think it is a great privilege, it is still a central court of the "Wimbledon." I went out to play after Roger Federer, is definitely special. On the other hand it is a little nervous, but I played against very tough opponent in the first round. Belinda against've faced twice before this game and unfortunately I had two losses now again failed to win. This game pretty well and I just could not handle it.
- With it you have a history - are played and couples and singles. If we started the game, what would change?
- There are many things that I could do better. Starting from the first service. On grass the serve is one of the biggest weapons, but today I could not realize it right. I also think that I had to play a little more aggressively. I was trying to do it, but the other side had a rival who just do not confuse. He played extremely heavy blows from both sides, with good service.
- In your box there was a girl with Bulgarian flag, which was often shown by the cameras. Whether your relative or friend?
- It does not relative, it is a friendly family who lives here in London. She also played tennis and I understand her it was a very experience to watch a match on center court. They are scary cute, she has a little sister.
- Do you all for participating in the Olympics in Rio?
- I still have not thought in detail so far all my attention was focused on "Wimbledon." Olympics will be the next tournament, which will take part, so I have time to prepare. I need to recover from the many trips, and quite matches played recently. I hope alive and healthy, I could do a good preparation.
- Do you have plans to play the tournament and doubles at the Olympics.
- No, I have no plans. The only option is to participate in mixed doubles with Gregory, but we did not comment at this stage.
- Quite often post your own photos of Plovdiv, your native city soon will be the European Capital of Culture. Generally what they mean to your roots?
- This is a tremendous recognition of Plovdiv, greatly pleases me. Excited because I see how our city flourish and definitely develop. Build constantly new things, there are many initiatives. The atmosphere is somehow more alive, that I love. I'm from Plovdiv, like roots, love to go back. There is my place, there are my friends and family. Plovdiv and Bulgaria are my favorite places. There are many facts about my city that are not yet known, but I hope when it becomes Capital of Culture in 2019 much of our beautiful city to show to the world.
- You are doing a lot to him as his ambassador to the world.
- It's the least I can do, and for me it is a pleasure.
- I know it's a little early, but what is your ultimate goal for this season. What would success mean to you?
- I'd love to improve my rankings, as currently almost all tournaments in which I participate, you must go through qualifying. I need more strong performances of several tournaments to change that. Of course, every tournament hoping for an outcome that until I've achieved, I want to improve their achievements to date.
- You're wedding after her in Plovdiv you will prepare, or will take a short vacation?
- Leave no time, but as I said, now I go to Bulgaria. There will be preparing for the Olympics. In Rio will go about a week early to get used to the situation. This is in general terms.
- Do you worry the virus music cast, because of which some athletes withdrew from the Olympics. Did you discuss the problem with the Bulgarian Olympic Committee or tennis federation?
- In our federation we have not discussed the matter, but from the international tennis federation prepare us with various information and materials. Overall, they say the risk is low, since there will be winter and it's not the most favorable season for mosquitoes. Of course, you need to take some measures. Definitely not the most pleasant thought, going there. Moreover, it is my first round in Brazil and all of South America.

Re: Tsvetana Pironkova Cheering Thread! vol2
Playing too much and getting too tired in the grass-court season is just an occupational hazard for a grass-court player, because the grass-court season is just so ludicrously short, and compressed.
But it was a decent run this week:
Bit like Sydney last year. Enough wins for an average title, until she ran out of puff.
Rest up, beautiful Queen! You must know your game matches up well against most players. Just don't get too nervous out there.

Philadelphia Phillies (36-42) at Miami Marlins (35-40)
Cliff Lee (0-4, 3.72) vs. Josh Johnson (4-5, 3.96)
TIME: 7:05, Marlins Park
Weather: Lower 80′s, mostly sunny
Media: Twitter and Facebook
After splitting a four game series with the Pirates, the Phillies head down to Miami tonight to take on the Marlins. Cliff Lee will look for his first win of the year yet again, but he'll have a tough time, as he opposes the Marlins Ace Josh Johnson.
Lee is 2-0 with a 2.31 ERA against the Marlins in his career, but just 1-0 with a 4.91 ERA in Florida. The last time he faced the Marlins, he threw a complete game while giving up just one run and striking out twelve.
As for Johnson, he's 5-4 with a 3.68 ERA against the Phils over his career. He faced the Phillies back in April, and couldn't get out of the fourth inning after giving up a season-high 11 hits and 6 earned runs. However, his ERA is under 4 again, and Johnson is a guy that has the ability to shut an offense down on any given night, just like Lee. I'm expecting a pitcher's duel tonight, and hopefully Lee will get his first win of the year.
Lineup: Rollins SS, Pierre LF, Utley 2B, Ruiz C, Pence RF, Victorino CF, Polanco 3B, Mayberry LF, Lee P
Your Gameday Beer – Allagash White
This is a really good beer that is fortunately becoming more widely available around the country. The White name lets you know it's a Witbier – way better than the more ubiquitous Blue Moon or Hoegaarden. It has citrus wheat flavors along with some strong fall scents like pumpkin, cinnamon, and nutmeg which make it a great late summer ale. It is refreshing and smooth and very enjoyable to drink. It pairs well with a sweet chicken dish like Hawaiian or teriyaki style. – By Brian

Utley really does stand out on this team as he is a professional hitter and actually works counts and knows how to hit.
He does help alot in that respect.
Cliff lee is going to be the best pitcher ever with 0 wins in July.
Howard is playing 5 innings in the field tonight.
So there is hope 🙂
There's hope for…..what?
I think Cliff Lee's spirit is broken. He needs to go to a contender, then we need to fire Amaro, jr. We may have to eat some of Lee's outrageous salary, but a change of scenery would do him a lot of good and lighten our payroll so we could possibly sign Hamels.
Trade Lee ? Have you looked at his contract ?
2012: $11.25 mil left
2013-2015: $25 million/year
2016:$27.5 mil option with a 12.5 mil buyout.
What team on Earth would touch this? Maybe the Yankees but thats only if they get so desperate that they need another arm. The Dodgers? I dont see it. Give me a team who would touch this contract. Sure you can eat some of the money but I just dont see that happening.
Erase me pat the slime. My son said dad I could catch
That. Pence sucks.
OK Pence cant field at all on the lowest level.
Why doesnt charlie take him out of the game in the middle of the inning?
Why is this allowed? Why does this go on endlessly.
Cant hurt any of the prima donnas feelings.
sad really
And TV jsut going on and on about Howard.
The circus is in Miami tongiht.
Think Hawk Harrelson here "Its Over"
Every time a ball is hit to right play this song in your head.
Or when you think about Lees 0 wins in July.
then listening to Mccarthy talking about Howard at lakeland lol
well 10 games back as of later on tonight. This era is over and i think its time to trade what we can for the future! But first i agree with firing the GM comment should have been done time ago in my honest opinion. This is what happens when you put your eggs in one basket. (majority of the salary going into starting pitching) ITS TIME FOR CHANGE !!! And it is shown through this game loosing to another under performing side!
Its over unless Charlie and Ruben are fired.
Not happening.
What the hell is wrong with Cliff Lee this year? I've really had enough of this.
Nothing. Bad BABIP luck, poor fielding behind him, poor run support, bad timing, etc. He's still pitching very well despite the ugly results.
To add to my other post that was eaten by the link-filter, this is from tonight's game recap over at The Good Phight blog:
"The Phillies have two left-handed starting pitchers. Starter A strikes out 9.2 batters per 9 innings. He walks 2.2 batters per 9 innings. His groundball percentage is 43.9%. He gives up 1.0 homers a game. Starter B strikes out 9.1, walks 1.8, and gives up 1.0 homers per nine innings and his groundball percentage is 48.2%. Pitcher A has an xFIP of 3.15 while Pitcher B has an xFIP of 2.91. One has a record of 10 – 2. One has a record of 0 – 4 (prior to tonight)."
You can look at all the fantasy baseball numbers you want. Cliff Lee is bad this year. hes not pitching well. We already have a pitcher who gives up five runs then retires the next 15 batters, his name is kyle kendrick
No. You're wrong.
Cliff Lee is pitching nearly as well as he did last season. The wins and losses don't reflect that, and his ERA is a little high, but that's due to a lot of luck, especially a career-high .333 BABIP.
His ERA estimators put him right around an ERA of 3.00, which is pretty damn good. He's still striking out batters at the right around his career average, while his walk rate is still well below average. The only thing that's out of whack is that more balls are falling for hits and his HR rate is slightly elevated, neither of which a pitcher has a lot of control over.
So, in this case, the stats tell you about how he's pitching and the results tell you a narrative about much more than just Cliff; they tell you about how poor his run support has been, how poor the fielding behind him has been, how mismanaged the bullpen behind him has been, etc.
charlies got to go first!
Strike zone by this umpire was tight..Nothing inside..This took Lee out of his game…Not been a apologist…Im afraid this season is a wrap…It hurts me to say it but the white flag is in my hand at this point…
Despite all Schmenkman's positive metrics, this is just a bad team. If they finish under .500 (a very good possibility), they'll have one of the worst falls from a 100+ win season in baseball history.
Expansion on what i said earlier…An already off pitcher couldnt get them called inside strikes furthering hampering..Get rid of Dubee as well…
i'm so discusted with these guys!i like lee alot he is a very good pitcher. but at this point he's wupped! did you see the look on his face when pence didn't catch that ball? that look said it all! if it's not pence it's someone else!i don't know why but they don't play well behind him, and they don't hit either. charlies got to pull aplayer at that point right then and there! embarrass him! j-bag not hustling to first on another grounder ( of course t-bag and wheels say nothing of it) mayberry hitting like a little leaguer! , no pop poly, vic swinging and striking out on the same stupid pitch down around his ankles over and over and cholly sits there blowing effin bubbles! and yesterday again KK talked about how he kept us in the game! big DEAL! after you put the game out of reach! i would have sent him right down to AA. changes have to be made! the ship is sinking and the balast pumps aren't working.
To be fair, Pence doesn't play well behind anyone.
Philly is DONE!!!! Ahahahaha!!!!
Was at the Iron maiden concert so I missed the massacre. In still giving them until the all-star break, but then I'm flying the white flags. : (
I was there too Ed. Fortunately for us, what we saw was much better!
OK, deep breath. Unless you're the Atlanta Braves nobody wins the division 11 years in a row. Funny thing is they had the same number of WS wins and how many WS appearences did they have? This is were a great, not good, GM recalibrates, rejuvinates and puts the team in position to win th division 5 more years in a row. Keep in mind we lost 4 BP arms, the 3&4 hitter for the season(so far) as well as losing the 3B, the backup 2B, the C, the Backup C, our Ace(and yes Halliday is the Ace, not Hamels), the 2 starter, the 4 starter…
If we fall out of it use the season to figure out the 2-3-4 BP arms to use next season. Dump Thome, Vic, Pierre… and get what you can while keeping in mind the 40 man roster. resign Hamels at a reasonable price or get Grienke.
The fly in the ointment here is that the GM who is going to be doing the recalibration and rejuvenation you're calling for is Ruben Amaro. I have very little confidence in his ability to do this given the payroll constraints of the luxury tax and the current contracts this team is locked into. Not to mention that a true rejuvenation from within the organization is essentially impossible seeing as he's gutted the farm system over the last 4 years.
I agree. RAJ did some good things but he spent a lot in $$ and treasure(prospects) when I didn' think he had to. I actually like what he did in the off season this year, but he was forced to do it. Pierre, Fontenot, Pods(would've loved him in the 5 OF), etc. No ay to overcome 4 BP, the 3,4 hitter… but moving forward the moves are huge. I follow th minors(some what) and the 40 man and RAJ needs to use the chips to upgrade the perifery(sp?) while removing salary. Huge transition year for the club and RAJ.
People are a little unfair about comparisons between the Braves' dynasty and the Phils' five straight. When the Braves started their run, the entire league was aligned differently and there wasn't as big of a "bad luck in a short series" issue because there was no wild card. The collective bargaining agreement was different. Contracts were not as outlandish, and a richer team (such as the Turner owned Braves) could sign players much more reasonably.
The Braves made tremendous moves during that time. I'll grant that. But it's a little unfair to compare a Maddux or C. Jones signing to a Lee, Cain, Pujols, or Fielder contract because the parameters were so different. One can fault Amaro all one wants, but some blame for the Phils' current overpaid underperformance can also be attributed to the players' money-grubbing agents and the current structure of baseball. Cliff Lee, for instance, had MULTIPLE offers of over $100 million. Amaro wasn't going to get him or anyone close for much less.
More changes: Back in the Braves' day, they were playing the Expos, a team with no revenue, and the Marlins, who were in a similar situation. Now it's the Nationals, owned by one of the richest people in baseball and with the benefit of number one draft picks for years, and Florida is now Miami, with a new stadium and way more money to spend.
Explain to me how the pitcher cant control his homerun rate? Are their more winds blowing out to centerfield this year? El Nino i guess
