Kodak about to start talking turkey for the last of its photo biz?
The end may be that much nearer for Kodak's Personal Imaging and Document Imaging businesses. The company is in the midst of selling off the two as one of the last major steps remaining in its Chapter 11 bankruptcy. And company President Laura Quatela reportedly told photography industry newssource Amateur Photographer that it would start taking bids for its PI biz as soon as the end of this month (Personal Imaging including Kodak's photographic film and photo paper businesses, though not its motion picture film business). She reportedly told Amateur Photog that an auction of PI would likely come in late March, with the sale wrapped up by the end of June. In a letter this week to employees, Kodak CEO Antonio Perez said that along with selling the PI and DI operations, Kodak has a number of other "twists and turns left in our path toward emergence" from bankruptcy: closing on the sale of its intellectual property, negotiating some kind of settlement to its U.K. pension obligations, . We have several important issues to conclude. To exercise our right to convert our interim financing to exit financing, we must meet the conditions of our financing agreement including those pertaining to the IP sale, our U.K. pension obligations, and meet certain business targets. "No doubt, 2013 will signal a new beginning for each of us – whether as part of the emerging commercial-based Kodak, or within the PI or DI businesses that I am confident will continue to deliver outstanding value to their customers and their owners," Perez wrote. When asked about those timeframes as laid out by Quatela, a Kodak spokesperson declined to comment except to say that the company remains on track to wrap up the DI and PI sales in the first half of the year.
It's hard to overstate how big these sales, particularly DI, will be to Rochester. Of Kodak's 5,000-ish local workers, a significant number work in DI. And a lot of the company's Eastman Business Park real estate still revolves around DI-type operations. The company so far hasn't broken out the details such as how many employees and what kind of assets will be involved in the sale (we know it affects at least Quatela and Dolores Kruchten, heads of PI and DI, respectively, who will go with those business lines when they are sold). But as that sale process speeds up, a clearer picture should emerge.
UPDATE: Responding to a question I fired off while writing the above blog post, Veronda has clarified one aspect of the PI sale – specifically how Kodak will sell PI yet still keep its entertainment imaging infrastructure. According to Veronda, "Since we have only one location (Eastman Business Park Bldg. 38) where we manufacture film, we will retain that facility. The buyer of PI would likely engage us with a supply agreement to provide still camera films." So now you know.

Barclays PLC (ADR) (NYSE:BCS) mean price target is revealed at $8.7900 by Thomson Reuters. The group followed the stock recommendations given by experts in the First Call poll. Also, it is possible that the firm may list per share earnings of $0.0000 in the coming quarter and $0.7900 for the ongoing fiscal. The market cap of Barclays PLC Common Stock was $31.43B after the equity closed at $9.1500 in last trading day.
What The Valuation Says?
The price/earnings ratio is listed in the group of ratios that are used for stock valuation. Commonly entitled as P/E ratio, it aids investors know where the firm positions in the market. It is a consequent when share's latest price is divided by per-share earnings. Barclays PLC (ADR) (NYSE:BCS) has a P/E ratio of N/A. Investors can ascertain how the stock is doing in the industry by assessing Price-to-Earnings Growth ratio.
In common, a high P/E proposes that investors are predicting higher earnings surge in the future compared to firms with a lower P/E ratio. A low P/E can direct either that a firm may currently be underrated or that the firm is doing extremely well comparative to its past trends. When a firm has no earnings or is recording losses, in both circumstances P/E will be stated as "N/A." Though it is likely to compute a negative P/E, it is not the common convention.
Barclays PLC (ADR) (NYSE:BCS) PEG ratio sits at -7.7100. A low PEG ratio presents an investment opportunity to the resourceful traders and investors. The stocks with a reading in between 0 and 1 are undervalued equities. A reading of 1 and 2 denotes fairly priced stocks.

Mary Wingerd
Minnesota historian
Mary Wingerd, associate professor of history, and author of "North Country."
Mary Wingerd is an award-winning Minnesota historian.
The associate professor has won two Minnesota Book Awards for "North Country: The Making of Minnesota," a fresh take on the founding of Minnesota that examines the state's multicultural, multiracial origins from the mid-17th century to the mid-19th century.
The book was commissioned by the University of Minnesota Foundation and published by University of Minnesota Press.
"North Country" describes a racially and culturally hybridized society based on intermarriage, kinship and the fur trade. Cooperation and reciprocity were key dynamics in the interpersonal and commercial relations among Ojibwe, Dakota, Europeans and Americans, according to Wingerd.
Joseph "Jack" Frazer personifies life in the "borderlands," Wingerd's metaphor for the two-century long encounter between Indians and Euro-Americans.
Frazer was the son of a Dakota woman and a Scottish trader. When he lived with his father Frazer dressed as a white, spoke English and received some schooling. When he lived with his mother he dressed as an Indian and spoke Dakota. He was known as Jack to some and Ite Maza or Iron Face to others.
"It's a central concept of the book that ideas about race are incredibly fluid and unfixed," Wingerd said. "Remember, you have all these people of mixed ancestry and it didn't matter if you were European or African-American or Indian or mixed ancestry -- the way people sorted you out was by how you dressed, by what kind of customs you observed."
Nearly two centuries of cooperation began unraveling in the mid-19th century when exploitation became the key dynamic. In short, Euro-Americans' exploitation of timber and land did not require partnering with Indians, according to Wingerd.
That exploitation spawned the state's most bloody period, the 1862 war in southwestern Minnesota that caused hundreds of deaths and prompted the exile of nearly every Dakota man, woman and child.
History enthusiasts will appreciate the book's attention to detail, including 155 illustrations and 17 maps.
Wingerd also authored "Claiming the City: Politics, Faith, and the Power of Place in St. Paul," published in 2003 by Cornell University Press.

Nicole Demers Laval, QC
Mr. Speaker, I listened with a great deal of interest to the presentation by my colleague from Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert. I was glad she mentioned how badly women have been neglected in this budget.
I would like her to give me her opinion about the fact that, in its platform, the Conservative government says that it will come up with a plan to help women achieve equality, yet all the plans it has put forward to date lack vision. As a result, we have quite frequently voted against these plans.
Could she also comment on the fact that, in its budget, the Conservative government has allocated only $20 million for the status of women, which represents $1.21 per woman for the whole year? What does she think of this position?
In addition, what does she think about the fact that defence spending has risen by 69% in the past 10 years, whereas social spending has increased by only 0.6%, as the lack of social housing will attest?

Government Orders
10:50 a.m.
Carole Lavallée Saint-Bruno—Saint-Hubert, QC
Mr. Speaker, I cannot say that I am unhappy with this question. In fact, the status of women has always been of great importance to me.
I had the pleasure of contributing to the founding of the Fédération des femmes du Québec a few years ago. I hardly dare say that it was 35 years ago, but I was quite young; I was very precocious.
On a more serious note, this government's attitude towards women and gender equality is quite disturbing. It is very worrisome for all manner of reasons, including the cuts to Status of Women Canada. Its core funding was slashed. It was an organization that performed very well and promoted gender equality. The reasons given by the government are ridiculous pretexts.
I am somewhat concerned about the plan that the Conservatives wish to present. I speak for myself but I also know, from speaking to many other women, that there is a great deal of concern about the actions of this government.
We know that it pays a great deal of attention and is more responsive to the lobbying group, REAL Women, which promotes the interests of women who stay at home. That is not a choice for me. We all have the choice of working or staying at home. But when a government implements measures that are of greater benefit to women at home under the pretext of supporting families, that is worrisome.
It is also troubling when this government supports one of its members who promotes in this House a bill which, under the pretext of protecting pregnant women, represents a first attack against the right to abortion. It is very disturbing. Hence, not—

Order, please. The honourable Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons wishes to rise on a point of order.
Remarks by Member for Regina--Lumsden--Lake Centre
Government Orders
10:55 a.m.
Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre
Tom Lukiwski Parliamentary Secretary to the Leader of the Government in the House of Commons and Minister for Democratic Reform
Mr. Speaker, I rise on a point of privilege and I thank you for recognizing me.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to offer through you and to you and to every member in the House my deepest apologies for some profoundly unacceptable and offensive remarks that I have made in the past which have recently come to the public forum, particularly in the last 24 hours.
Despite the fact that I made these comments just about 17 years ago does not lessen the shame that I feel for making those comments in the first place, nor does it diminish the hurtful aspect of those comments that were contained in my remarks of 1991. Therefore, I feel absolutely compelled that I must stand here today and publicly apologize to a number of people.
First and foremost, I want to apologize to all of my friends and colleagues who are gay or lesbian. I have no idea what they must think of me now. I have no idea what they were thinking when they first heard or read about my comments. To say that I am ashamed is not putting it in context and certainly not putting it in strong enough terms.
Their friendship and support for me during my entire career and my personal life has been extremely important to me, and today I ask their forgiveness. Just being in the public sphere means little to me compared to the opinion that I value of their opinion toward me, and to them I say I am truly sorry.
To the entire gay and lesbian community, I also want to extend my deepest and most abject apologies.
The comments I made should not be tolerated in any society. They should not be tolerated today. They should not have been tolerated in 1991. They should not have been tolerated in years previous to that. The words I used were more than just hurtful. They are words that should not be allowed to be spoken today, either publicly or privately.
I know there is an awful lot of anger directed toward me from members of the gay and lesbian community. That anger is certainly understandable and, I would say, it is justified. All I can say is that I hope that over the passage of time, my apologies will be accepted.
There are many other people to whom I need to apologize because of their relationship to me. Because of that relationship the criticisms that will be made directed toward me will end up affecting these people. They will in effect probably bear the brunt of much of that criticism, when in fact they had absolutely nothing to do with this incident.
To my family, to my friends, to my colleagues, to my staff, to my Prime Minister, to the people of Saskatchewan and, most particularly, to the people of Regina—Lumsden—Lake Centre, I offer not only my apologies for my remarks, but I apologize for the embarrassment and the hurt that I have surely caused them.
I also want to make a comment to the hon. member for Burnaby—Douglas who raised this issue in question period yesterday. I simply want to thank the hon. member for allowing me to personally apologize to him. He accepted my phone call with that in mind. I will never forget the member's generosity and kindness.
There are times when people say things they do not mean, and this is one of those times with respect to my comments. While it is very, very true I made those hurtful comments, they do not reflect my personal beliefs. They did not reflect my personal beliefs in 1991. They do not reflect my personal beliefs now, which lends itself to the obvious question, if I did not mean what I said, why did I say those things to begin with?
The only explanation that I can give to you, Mr. Speaker, and to the members of this House is that I was stupid, thoughtless and insensitive. I am not using that as a defence. I am merely stating the way that I felt and the actions that I took.
Let me conclude by saying that there is absolutely nothing I could say inside or outside of this assembly that would be an adequate apology to those people whom I have hurt. I deeply regret and I have deep remorse for my words of 17 years ago. I can assure you, Mr. Speaker, and all of my colleagues in this House that I will spend the rest of my career and my life trying to make up for those shameful comments.

Brandon's Business Person of the Year
Statements By Members

Merv Tweed Brandon—Souris, MB
Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to rise today to salute and offer congratulations to Mr. Paul Crane of Brandon, Manitoba, who was recently named Brandon's Business Person of the Year. Mr. Crane joins a very distinguished group of Brandon business people in being the 27th recipient of this prestigious award.
Paul and his wife, Gail, established Crane Steel Structures in 1981. Expanding it to Winnipeg in 1985, their business has developed into one of the largest design build contractors specializing in pre-engineered steel buildings.
Chamber President Lee Bass summed it up best by stating, "Paul's honesty and integrity in business dealings and in community dealings are beyond reproach".
Paul Crane is quick to credit his family and his staff, whose support and hard work have made Crane Steel what it is today.
On behalf of the people of Brandon—Souris, I want to congratulate Paul Crane, Brandon's Business Person of the Year.
Ontario Budget
Statements By Members
11 a.m.
Alan Tonks York South—Weston, ON
Mr. Speaker, the Ontario budget offered a balanced approach to fiscal management with these elements of responsible leadership: investments in manufacturing, funding for job creation, targeted poverty reduction, and competitive taxes.
In his speech before the legislature, Ontario's finance minister addressed these areas where partnerships would serve Ontarians and Canadians better: strategic investment in transit, addressing congestion and climate change; a federal initiative to increase transfers for settlement services to match other provinces; and creation of a new border crossing at Windsor, the busiest international trade link in the world.
Ontario is moving forward with health care, infrastructure, manufacturing initiatives and appears to be in tune with mainstream thinking on what drives long term economic growth.
Historically, Ontarians in good times and bad have contributed through equalization to maintain a strong and fair union, and truly in the words of Robert Louis Stevenson, have been an honest and reliable friend.
I am certain this House agrees that it is in the national interest to nurture that friendship through partnerships that inspire a new legacy of hope for Ontarians and all Canadians.
Martin Luther King, Jr.
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Raymond Gravel Repentigny, QC
Mr. Speaker, Martin Luther King was assassinated 40 years ago today in Memphis. We all recall his famous speech, which is forever etched in our memories, entitled "I have a dream", condemning the segregation of blacks in the United States. His action resulted in the adoption of legislation guaranteeing blacks the same rights as whites in public places and polling stations.
Dr. King fought for equality between whites and blacks and received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964. He was a hero of the black civil rights movement and advocated a fairer distribution of wealth and social justice. The night before he died, Reverend Martin Luther King said he wanted to live a long time. The next day he was assassinated at the age of 39.
Forty years later, his spirit lives on in those who believe in justice, equality and freedom. Let us pay tribute to this great man today and keep in mind the principle of equality among people in our actions as legislators in this House.
Animal Cruelty
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Peter Julian Burnaby—New Westminster, BC
Mr. Speaker, tragically, animal abuse and cruelty are alive and well in this country. A quick glance at recent news headlines makes the case: a man threw five puppies down an outhouse pit; a cat was cooked to death in a microwave by a group of teens; a cat was strangled and hung for public display; 27 horses were found dead from starvation.
Canadians have been trying to strengthen Canada's 115-year-old animal cruelty laws, but Canada's federal governments have shamefully refused to pass tougher animal cruelty sentences.
Of Canadians polled, 93% support tough anti-animal cruelty legislation, including law enforcement officers, researchers, farmers, hunters and animal welfare organizations.
We need to crack down on animal abusers with long overdue tough legislation in the country. We will not achieve this through Bill S-203.
I stand with my NDP colleagues to demand that the government end the neglect and cruelty by bringing forward genuine animal protection laws immediately.
Hockeyville Contest

Fabian Manning Avalon, NL
Mr. Speaker, Newfoundlanders and Labradorians love the sport of hockey. I am proud to stand and offer a show of support to the town of Port-aux-Basque on its selection as one of the top five entries in the Hockeyville contest.
Mr. Andrew Parsons has led the charge for the gateway town to be named Hockeyville, the Canadian community that best embodies the spirit of hockey and hometown pride.
The town has been awarded $20,000 for arena upgrades for making it to the top five and now hopes to be selected number one. The winner of the competition will receive $100,000 for its local arena and will host an NHL exhibition game next September.
The town's contest entry has focused on the economic difficulty faced by small rural towns, yet hockey bonds the communities together and remains strong in spite of all the other challenges.
The town has had its challenges with its rink burning down one September, but it was able to have a new multi-million dollar facility constructed and people skating in November in the following year.
The community is thrilled with making it to the top five and hockey fever is high. We applaud the community's spirit, team effort and success to date and are rooting for them to take home the big prize.
The Environment
Statements By Members
11:05 a.m.
Tina Keeper Churchill, MB
Mr. Speaker, one year ago the town of Leaf Rapids in the Churchill riding banned single-use plastic bags. This ambitious move was the first of its kind in North America. Now it is a regular part of life in this northern town that people utilize reusable bags.
Today, cities big and small are catching on, including a recent ban in San Francisco, California.
The results are clear. It is a policy that works and it is an example of how we can all contribute to a cleaner environment in Canada. Prior to the ban, plastic bags could be found on the sides of roads, stuck in trees and made up a sizeable and unnecessary portion of local landfill. Since the ban was implemented, it has been greatly reduced.
I would like to commend the environmental stewardship of the community of Leaf Rapids and encourage others to look to the north for an inspirational and progressive model toward a greener future.

Steven Fletcher Charleswood—St. James—Assiniboia, MB
Mr. Speaker, April is the Canadian Cancer Society's Daffodil Month, in recognition of the millions of Canadians touched by cancer.
In November 2006, the Prime Minister announced the creation of the Canadian Partnership Against Cancer. This organization is responsible for the implementation of the Canadian strategy for cancer control, a $260 million investment in support of a pan-Canadian cancer control across the country.
CPAC will work with governments and non-governmental partners to support the goals of the Canadian strategy for cancer control, which are to reduce the number of new cancer cases and the number of deaths, as well as to enhance the quality of life of those living with the disease. These efforts will result in state of the art information about preventing, diagnosing and treating cancer, as well as encouraging new research across the cancer control spectrum being shared across the country.
I encourage all Canadians to join in the fight against cancer.

International Mine Action Day

11:10 a.m.
Kevin Sorenson Crowfoot, AB
Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate our Prime Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and the Minister of National Defence for a job well done at the NATO summit this week.
Canadians are also very proud of our government's international leadership in helping to clear landmines.
Today is International Mine Action Day. More than 80 countries around the world are still affected by landmines killing and injuring innocent children at play and farmers as they work daily.
Afghanistan continues to be one of the most heavily mined countries in the world. Canada is the world's leader in deactivating and destroying landmines in Afghanistan. Working alongside the Afghan government and the United Nations Mine Action Service, Canada is making a big difference in the lives of the people of Afghanistan. This is yet another example of how Canadians are helping to rebuild Afghanistan.
With our nation's ongoing commitment to the international community, we will continue to see positive change. Our Conservative government is getting things done for Canadians and the international community.
Cancer Awareness Month
Statements By Members
11:10 a.m.
David McGuinty Ottawa South, ON
Mr. Speaker, April is Cancer Awareness Month, a time to reflect on the devastating effect this disease has year after year.
Who unfortunately does not know someone, perhaps a loved one, who has suffered from this terrible disease?
The statistics are distressing. Nearly 159,000 people suffered from cancer in 2007 and 72,000 died of the disease. Men, women, children, seniors are all affected and, despite our efforts and scientific advancements, the disease is still with us.
However, we must not give up the fight against this terrible affliction. That is why we must take the opportunity presented by Cancer Awareness Month to appeal to the government to increase efforts to find a cure for cancer.
I therefore ask all my colleagues to join me in sending a message of hope to all those who suffer from this disease. One day, we will find a cure.

Cheese Soup
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 5 ounces small diced onion (approximately 1 cup)
- 5 ounces small diced carrot (approximately 1 cup)
- 5 ounces small diced celery (approximately 1 cup)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt for sweating vegetables, plus more if needed at end of cooking
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 quart chicken broth, heated to a simmer
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 10 ounces Fontina, shredded
- 1 teaspoon Marsala wine
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon white pepper
Melt butter in large heavy-bottomed soup pot over medium heat. Add onion, carrot, celery, and salt. Sweat for 5 to 10 minutes or until the vegetables begin to soften, stirring occasionally. Sift the flour over the vegetables and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 to 3 minutes.
Gradually add the chicken stock and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to low and add the garlic and bay leaf. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until vegetables are soft.
Remove bay leaf. Turn off the heat, add the heavy cream, and then puree with an immersion blender or in a conventional blender*. Gradually add the cheese, 1 small handful at a time, and stir until melted before adding next handful. Stir in the Marsala, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, and white pepper. Taste and add additional salt if desired. If soup is not hot enough, return to a low heat until warmed through.
*When blending hot liquids: Remove liquid from the heat and allow to cool for at least 5 minutes. Transfer liquid to a blender or food processor and fill it no more than halfway. If using a blender, release one corner of the lid. This prevents the vacuum effect that creates heat explosions. Place a towel over the top of the machine, pulse a few times then process on high speed until smooth.

Microsoft Corp. intends to release its highly-anticipated code-named Natal motion-sensing device sometimes around the fifth anniversary of Xbox 360 video game console, in November 2010, according to a media report. The software giant reportedly also wants to make the product as affordable as possible.
Microsoft told its partners among game developers from the United Kingdom that it would release its Natal in November '01 and will try to make it affordable enough to ensure impulse purchases, reports MCV web-site. In particular, Natal motion sensor may cost less than £50, which translates into considerably less than $79 in the U.S. or €79 in Europe. In total, there will be five million of Natal available separately on the day of launch, besides, they will also be available bundled with consoles. According to the media report, 14 games are set to be release along with Natal.
Microsoft did not comment on the news-story.
Microsoft Project Natal device is the world's first set of sensors to combine an RGB camera, depth sensor, multi-array microphone and custom processor running proprietary software all in one device. The depth sensor, which is an infrared projector combined with a monochrome CMOS sensor, allows Natal to see the room in 3D (as opposed to inferring the room from a 2D image) under any lighting conditions. The RGB cam delivers the three basic color components and helps, among other things, to enable facial recognition. The Project Natal sensor is not light-dependent, it can recognize gamers just by looking at faces, and it does not just react to key words, but understands what is said, according to Microsoft. Natal motion sensor is supported by 14 game developers.

Tree program deserves praise
Area residents had an opportunity Thursday to acquire trees at a bargain price.
The MidAmerican Energy/Friends of Wesbster County Conservation Plant Some Shade program distributed about 120 trees.
Most of the cost is borne by MidAmerican Energy. The price charged to people who obtained trees through this initiative was $30 per tree. That is about one-third of what one would pay at a retail outlet. To be eligible to receive a tree at this discounted price, a purchaser had to be a MidAmerican customer and agree to plant the tree on their own property. MidAmerican partners with Webster County Conservation to make the trees available.
Five tree varieties were available: swamp white oak, sugar maple, Glenleven linden, white pine and pagoda dogwood.
Planting trees beautifies a property and is good for the environment.
The Messenger applauds this worthwhile progam.

Topic: Education Materials
First, I'm sorry if I am posting this to the wrong place. It's my first post on this forum.
I need some direction on my journey to learn ruby.
My father has 25 years experience programming in cobol and a bachelors in computer sciences from the seventies. I have no programming knowledge.
We've been working together to learn ruby using code academy and just finished today. We're about to start 'Rails for Zombies.'
We both feel kind of lost in the context of what we're doing. Like we are understanding the language, but still kind of lost in how that fits in with how the code could be implemented.
I am looking for an education tool that will prepare my father to reenter the it industry. Something where he can be confident to apply and accept a position programming in Ruby.
Thank you all.

Vice Presidential debate. Your thoughts?Posted Thursday, October 11, 2012, at 1:20 PM
Don't miss it and step right up to give us your observations. Since I have not seen anything of Congressman Paul Ryan except snippets, I am curious to see how he does.
Someone from his home State is a reader here, and as I recall not a fan, so maybe you can let us know your pre-debate thoughts and post-debate observations?
Vice President Joe Biden seems like a nice enough fellow. I would not vote for him but he must have something on the ball since he has won so many other elections. Maybe we will see it tonight?

OK it's like this: In this corner we have a silly snicklesnot sneering snorkelsnit named Pee Wee Ryan. And in this corner we have a dinkle donker, diddling dweebish, and dorky dummybot named Joker Biden. May the leftwing mommy moderator muddle and cuddle through the night, and the two potatobators go home, and hide under their beds, until the election is over.
-- Posted by Grits on Thu, Oct 11, 2012, at 3:15 PM
Joe Biden will develop a serious case of foot-in-mouth syndrome,which should provide some pretty funny soundbites from Fox News.Paul Ryan will most likely trip over the conservative stance on every subject from abortion to same-sex marriage.In all,maybe a comic relief from the other two simpletons who happen to be running for the posistion of President.God save this country,please.....

They're both Catholic, and to my knowledge, neither have any family history of polygamy so maybe that won't be an issue on this thread.

I thought Biden did much better on substance than the President, but I don't know that it will be a game changer. I found Biden's behavior throughout the debate to be rude and condescending. He interrupted Ryan constantly. I don't know if he was being excessively obnoxious to make up for Obama's sleepy performance or what. I'm not sure I buy his Libya answers either. I think Ryan did fine but did not challenge Biden enough on some of his more outrageous claims. Towards the end Biden looked liked a bitter old man the way he was yelling at the moderator. While I agree more with Ryan, I'm not sure I'd award either a definitive win. To me, Biden's behavior was more a negative for him in my opinion.
-- Posted by cortnerkin on Thu, Oct 11, 2012, at 10:05 PM
I was expecting a much stronger attack from Biden and was a bit taken back by things he found humorous. Was he trying to belittle what Ryan was saying or did I miss something humorous?
It wasn't the slam dunk Republicans might have hoped for either, so ..... maybe the Titans game was a viable alternative.

He might of been off his meds or maybe he'd dipped into someone else's meds or maybe the moderator was making funny faces at him.

Yeah Biden did come off a lttle Haskell-esh.
-- Posted by cortnerkin on Thu, Oct 11, 2012, at 11:05 PM
I think Ryan reminds me of a cross between Eddie Haskell and Eddie Munster, very creepy guy. But what's worse, is that much like Sarah Palin, Ryan has shown that he's in way over his head and is in no way ready to be a heartbeat away from being President. Joe Biden, on the other hand, shows why he would be totally qualified to be President. The Romney/Ryan ticket is looking like a joke.
-- Posted by Rocket Valentine on Fri, Oct 12, 2012, at 6:08 AM
The debate was extremely boring until my cat stepped on the mute button. This improved the performance of both candidates, although it looked like Butthead on the left and Beavis on the right.
-- Posted by Grits on Fri, Oct 12, 2012, at 8:25 AM
The two performances so far (with one to go) only resemble actual "debate" in the loosest sense of the word. WHile it would be nice to see an actual debate, these are as close as we will get to having an opportunity to evaluste the candidates' plans for their administrations. Partisan declarations of winners and losers in these "debates" predictably dovetail with their partisan stances. Here is what I have seen so far, theatrical considerations aside.
Both sides recognize the budget deficit as a problem.
Both have actually declared that their intent is to increase the amount of taxes paid by the wealthy. The Democrats' plan is to do this by increasing the tax rate on the top earners. The Republican method is by reducing the tax rate and eliminating deductions which apply primarily to the wealthy. The problem is that these "deductions" to be eliminated remain a closely guarded secret. Stretching credulioty even further, they will supposedly be arrived at by bipartisan agreement. Anyone who believes that the tax breaks for the wealthy would be reduced by even a single party congress is living in a fantasy world. So the only part of either plan likely to pass congress is the reduction in tax rates, reducing revenues. Reducing revenues is seldom the answer for a business losing money, likewise it will not reduce our budget deficit. So score a slight edge to the Democrats for living in the real world. For those trumpeting the idea that somehow lower taxes will stimulate spending, let me remind you of the effectiveness of the stimulus cash gifts... the only spending they stimulated was larger bonuses for the top executives in the largest corporations. Business is pragmatic, and the only thing that stimulates business spending is the opportunity to make more money. Our economy will follow the world economy, just like everyone else's.
When it comes to cutting spending, both sides are living in a fantasy world. The Democrats' talk of applying the "savings" from disengaging from combat opperations in the Middle East is ridiculous. Reducing an expenditure is not the same thing as receiving revenue, especially when that expenditure was being paid for with debt to begin with. The Republican proposal to defund PBS was insulting. The money involved is so insignificant that it would require a similar sut to be discovered every 2 hours, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year to reduce the deficit. It is akin to trying to save a failing business by reducing the use of paper clips. Any CEO in a similar situation who even wasted his time discussing paper clips would be fired. On the Democrats side we have Obamacare. Partisan predictions as to its effect are, well.. partisan. It remains to be seen how it will work out in reality. At least there was an attempt to address a real issue. The Republican medicare "plan" is a sick joke. So many people have told me it is the "only plan that will save medicare." That is ridiculous. It is no plan at all. Essentially this administration will do nothing. Cuts are planned not for the winners of this election to make, nor for the winners of the next election, but for the late stages of the admninistration elected in the election after that. All this "plan" shows is their estimation that people under 55 are not close enough to medicare to really care. I will give them credit for this much, I think they nailed that part. But when those people are closer to 65, do you honestly think they will stand by and have medicare changed? If the Republican plan for medicare is good enough for my children, it ought to be good enough for me, and promising to make changes during an administration still 3 election cycles removed is intellectully dishonest. If it werent for the comments on "war savings" I would give the Democrats a slight edge again. But the truth is, neither side seems to have a grasp over how to reduce a deficit.
now i have to go feed the animals. I doubt anyone is interested, but I will finish my analysis later.
-- Posted by lazarus on Fri, Oct 12, 2012, at 8:40 AM
It seems to me that the people who will lose the most from the Republican reforms of entitlements (Social Security and Medicare) are those of us in the younger generations that actually prepare for our own retirement. Most plans to save these programs put forth by conservatives hinge on means testing the benefits. If I do not benefit from my contributions to these programs due to my own careful planning, doesn't that in effect make my contributions a tax and would that not make these programs an alternate way of taxing the wealthy?
-- Posted by cortnerkin on Fri, Oct 12, 2012, at 9:55 AM
Neither candidate won this debate but at least Ryan is good with numbers while Biden gives us "malarkey" and "stuff". I will take the nerd with the pocket protector (Ryan) over the village idiot (Biden) any day.
-- Posted by jaxspike on Fri, Oct 12, 2012, at 10:24 AM
Please.............Lord save us from ourselves. The actuality of the debate shows us again what our present president, vice president and government does not know, or what they do not want us to know. Either to me is very scary when you are face to face with terrorism that can not only kill us abroad; and does and is not recognized or admitted / it can walk right in our door. "Uncle Joe" showed us his lack of control with his stupid and idiotic facial expressions / timeing off immensely / and just how much of a bully he is. I feel strongly Ryan respectfully had more restraint and control over his emotions. Biden is a hot head and his son Beau certainly did not help Biden's cause. Beau's response was rehearsed and staged way ahead of the opportunity being given to him to comment after the debate. Romney / Ryan in November. Let's really change this time.
-- Posted by decorate1956 on Fri, Oct 12, 2012, at 10:28 AM
Last night we saw a man and a boy on stage.Biden gave Ryan a spanking.Ryan is not ready to be president. Ryan is no match against Bidens knowledge and experience.Ryan has admitted that the Romney/Ryan tickets faith will affect their policys.I hoped every women in America saw how he will rule on womens health.They will take women back to the 1940s.AS for their views on foreign policys, if they win and start another costly war,they need to send billionairs sons and daughters first as well as his own.Most of the talk about Libya is political, did Bush see 911 coming. It was not only 4 americans killed it was 3,000.And speaking about the deficit, Ryan voted for all deficit spending under Bush.The deficit didnt matter then.Now lets talk about medicare.Under Romney you will get a little voucher to take to a insurance company and buy a plan.How much will it cost a 70 year old with pre-existing conditions?Seniors will be paying as much as $6,400 more out of pocket a year.And thats only if they can find a company that will insure them.
-- Posted by lets be real on Fri, Oct 12, 2012, at 11:35 AM
lets be real .... you take great notes, almost word from word what most of the commentators had to say. The real facts are in the truth, not a planned, rehearsed mock debate before it hits the stage. What improvements can you list that Obama can take credit for / and I mean true credit, not someone elses heroism or sacrifice. Biden is even lacking in the acting part. His smiles, grins, chuckles and "can't believe its" was way over the top and rude to say the least. Biden did nothing for himself or his party.
-- Posted by decorate1956 on Fri, Oct 12, 2012, at 11:45 AM
I don't understand why women should be having abortions anyway . . . are they just too stupid or lazy to use contraception or just not have sex until they are ready to have children? Abortion seems like the kind of answer you get for people who don't want to take responsibility for their actions.
-- Posted by jaxspike on Fri, Oct 12, 2012, at 12:37 PM
It's because their contraceptives weren't covered by insurance jaxspike. Obamacare's gonna fix that.
-- Posted by cortnerkin on Fri, Oct 12, 2012, at 12:52 PM
Last time I checked abstinence was free and condoms can also be obtained for free at the health department. This has nothing to do with Obamacare or whatever silly talking point you are trying to get across.
-- Posted by jaxspike on Fri, Oct 12, 2012, at 1:02 PM
It comes with one's own responsibility and yes, I am a woman [ unless a woman is raped or a victim of incest, she should have control over her own actions with any kind of sexual contact]. The insurance claim may be justified. Life "does" begin at conception / you can't just turn on a switch and say "okay it's time for life to start" GOD had and has a plan for life / it is started only between a man and a woman --- not same sex. Go figure, this opens a whole new arguement from the g/l community. What is right and wrong can be found in The Bible, that is what it is there for. To study. Anyone who takes time to study it and learn from it will realize what an awesome God we have.
-- Posted by decorate1956 on Fri, Oct 12, 2012, at 1:10 PM
I was being facetious. Roe v Wade has weathered multiple Republican administrations and while I appreciate and am in agreement with your perspective jaxspike, I don't see abortion as being a deciding issue for non-committed voters this time around. Obamacare is according to Biden "a big effing deal" and in my mind a more immediate issue. I favor repeal and replace. Sorry if I gave offense.
-- Posted by cortnerkin on Fri, Oct 12, 2012, at 1:29 PM
Rep.Ryan was collected, level headed, articulate and sharp.Biden was rude, interrupting and laughing so crazy, he must have been off his med's, hands flying up in the air, and yelling....He was shameful ...

Republicans applauded Romney when he was a rude bully in the firsr debate.Biden just tangled Ryan up in his own lies and didnt let him get away with it.Ryan is a hippocrate. He complained about the stimulus but asked for stimulus money for his state.Ryan gave no details on taxes or tell the full truth about his medicare plan.Romney stated that thanks to hospitals americans who lack insurance dont have it so bad and people dont die in thier apartments because of no insurance. Mr Romney yes they do.I am in the medical field and I see lots of people come into the hospital for strokes from unable to buy blood pressure medication with no insurance or having long stays for things that could have been prevented avoided by having insurance for doctor visits.Romney does not care for the middle class. Obama has passed fair wages for women, taken out more terrorist than any other president, passed healthcare,given lots of middle class tax breaks,need I go on. I take home more since he has been in office.Abortions is not the only issue for women . Romney will cut planned parenthood. That means no cancer screening for millions of women without insurance.But he doesnt care since they are in the 47%.

Romney was never rude in the first debate - just asking what has been accomplished in the lst 4 yrs hit a nerve / Obama just didn't show up!

The next Obama/Romney debate should be "extra" interesting, given the first one. Sounds like a new topic to explore. (with a new post, not here)

It is actually sort of amusing to see the various interpretations of the "debates," which really reflect nothing except the personal preferences of the writers. Out of the four, between Romney's sometimes bizarre expressions, Obama's disconnected participation, and Biden's theatrics, Ryan actually presented the best comportment. However, in content Ryan was the most disappointing. Advertised as a "policy wonk" and practically a "human calculator," I was expecting to hear some meaningful detail. Obviously he had embraced and mastered the strategy of dealing in vague generalities and BS numbers.
In the discussion of foreign policy, the Republicans gave me the uncomfortable impression that they intend to return to the schoolyard bully "diplomacy" of the lesser bush era. This is the approach which left us entangled in two ground wars, with very few friends in the world. Admittedly, you will never have many real "friends" in the world, as every nation is primarily concerned with their own interests, but at least someone with a grasp of nuanced diplomacy could leave us with friendly allies. Blustering and threatening will not persuade our "enemies" to disarm, it will rather add urgency to their desire to be able to defend themselves from an aggressive bully. Teddy Roosevelt once said we should "Speak softly and carry a big stick." We have the big stick and everyone knows it. The speak softly part is sometimes forgotten. We might be the most powerful nation on the planet, but we have not the resources to project our might on every inch of the globe. It is a big world. The current administration does not have a perfect record in foreign affairs (none ever will) but they have done a lot to restore respect for America around the world. I would hate to see us go back to the self-defeating approach of the lesser bush. Score this one a big edge to the Democrats.

Walmart has many blood pressure medications available in generic for $4 a month or $10 for 90 days. If you can't treat someone's high blood pressure using the medications on that list, you aren't worth your salt as a practitioner. Many people would sooner buy cigarettes than buy their own blood pressure medications. What is the function of the health departments that are in practically every city if not to serve the poor?
The middle class has seen their income drop by about $2500 while at the same time paying more for fuel, food and health care. Jobs and economic growth are what will help the middle class. Our economic growth rate of 1.3% won't cut it. Biden stated last night that he always says what he means. From his mouth to God's ears, he has said that the middle class has been buried the past 4 years. That part he was honest about at least.
As far as Ryan requesting Stimulus funds goes, if Wisconsin is to be on the hook to pay back this great load of waste, why should they not get some of the money?

There is nothing wrong with getting stimulus money . Tennessee has gotten some. But dont stand up and lie about it as Ryan did.Obama did not know which Romney would show up.He has many faces.How can you get a perscription with out regular doctor visits. Without insurance doctors will not see you unless you pay cash first.One visit is around $200 or more.

Who did we bow down to? Who has attacked American soil since 2008? Wasn't the original purpose of going to Afghanistan to get the person responsible? Wasn't that done? How many top ranking member of Al Qaeda were killed in the last 4 years?
Finally, for all the deficit hawk Republicans who suddenly claim to have concern about the deficit? Who was the last Republican president to balance a budget? It was neither of the Bush boys, it wasn't Reagen, it wasn't Ford, it wasn't Nixon... you have to go ALL THE WAY BACK to Eisenhower, or 50 years ago. Who was the last Democratic president to balance a budget? You only need to go back 12 years. There is a huge difference in facts and fiction, and for 50 years we have been sold nothing but fiction, and we continue to believe the myths.
How does the party that began two wars, launched a prescription drug program, tripled defense spending, pushed through TARP, and oversaw the beginning of a financial crisis that rocked the entire globe, suddenly feel they have any credibility when it comes to speaking about finances.
Neither party is perfect when it comes to spending, in fact no Democrat believes that. But we also know that facts matter, something Biden consistently pointed out last night, and the moderator also demanded. Something Romney was never confronted with in his debate.

Apparently you've been under a rock the last four years. How would you not know this if you are such a supporter of Obama. The king of Saudi Arabia == the man most linked as the money behind a radical Islam. It should have been a handshake, just as the other world leaders did / but then they are not Barak "Hussein" Obama. It was in poor taste as a representative of our country.

Copied from the web referring to Clinton's endorsement of Obama ---- This says it all ---- [How could a lying, cradle robbing adulterous, thieving (did they get all the stuff back Clinton took when he moved out of the White House) ex-president who was impeached by the House help any campaign? Oh, wait he is campaigning for Obama] -- So now "Uncle Joe" and "Uncle Bill" will help Obama save himself............not!
-- Posted by decorate1956 on Sat, Oct 13, 2012, at 7:26 AM
Technically an American embassy is American soil. So the last terrorist attack on American soil was one month ago by Al Qaeda. I don't know that the whole purpose of being in Afghanistan was to kill Bin Laden. I would not consider the lives of 2000 American young people worth Bin Laden alone if we do not have some other reason for being there. I'm in agreement regarding spending. Republicans constantly champion smaller government, but it inevitably grows under their control. The fact that Democrats are up front in their desire to grow government and raise taxes says something I guess.
The two wars were bipartisan, at least at the beginning. The financial crisis had its origins long before Bush became president as well. It all comes back to blame Bush. Who will Obama blame for the economy he has in 2013 if he wins re-election? Bush, most likely.
-- Posted by cortnerkin on Sat, Oct 13, 2012, at 10:10 AM
Obama is not the only president to bow to other presidents.Was it in poor taste when Bush bowed to Saudi King Abdulla and kissed him.Was it in poor taste when Nixon bowed to the King. Was Eisenhower in poor taste,he bowed to everyone.To everyone here go to the internet and type in Bush bows to Saudi King.How soon we forget,or is it only in poor taste when Obama did it.Decorate1956 how can you not remember Bush bowing,or were you under a rock.When Obama wins again the economy will continue to get better maybe he will keep giving out all that stimulus money all the republicans asked for behind closed doors and complained about to the public.They used government money to balance budgets in their states. Ryan asked for lots of money more than once.He is caught on tape stating he never asked.Oh and by the way Clinton was not he first or only president to have sex in the whitehouse.And as far as craddle robbing the women was of age and knew exactally what she was doing,and is going to write a book and get money.She was looking ahead.

Hospitals only have to do the minimum needed to stabilize you - know a man who had to have emergency heart surgery - they did it and sent him home, he was not given access to any follow up care - Tenn care turned him down and the doctors wanted 500.00 and a credit report up front to see him . He lost his job because the employer did not want to be responsible for future heart problems. Someone mentioned 4 dollar heart meds well without a doctor to prescribe them they are not available. This mans only health care was ER services, had he been able to afford a doctor he would never had needed the surgery ( he worked at an entry level income no benefit available) - so instead of the expense of a doctor ( we were charges 170 to be seen for an ear ache after insurance imagine a heart specialist) the state ended up getting charged for two life flights and multiple ER visits leading up to emergency surgery, and ER visits afterwards due to instances that would have other wise been addressed in a office call. HE has not been able to return to work , nobody hires a heart patient who is not released from a physician and has panic attacks out of fear of repeat heart issues. He is uninsurable, unemployable, and can not get Tenncare. He is stuck. With health care,his condition could have treated and stabilized before it became the drastic condition it did, thus avoiding the situation he is in now. HE always enjoyed and took pride in working. I am not calling him a victim, reality is what it is. Would you hire him? Would you insure him? ( not personally but a person in his position) In this economy there are more than enough healthy workers nobody want a liability.

Syllabus for PSG-104
Sleep Disorders provides students a solid foundation in the classification, evaluation, and differential diagnosis of sleep and arousal disorders. The course covers the classification of sleep disorders into appropriate categories, diagnostic criteria, essential and associated features, and polysomnographic evaluation of sleep disorders. It also reviews the most common sleep and arousal disorders in adults and children, focusing on those disorders evaluated using polysomnography or other objective clinical measures.
After successfully completing this course, you should be able to:
You will need the following textbooks to do the work of the course. The required texts are available from the College's textbook supplier, MBS Direct.
Polysomnography Scoring is a three-credit online course consisting of ten (10) modules. Modules include learning objectives, study materials (lecture notes, assigned reading, and PowerPoint presentations on select topics), and activities (online discussions and written assignments). Module titles are listed below along with their respective course and module objectives.
For your formal work in the course, you are required to participate in online discussion forums, to submit written assignments, to take a proctored online midterm examination, and to complete a final project. See below for more details.
Consult the course Calendar for due dates.
Polysomnography Scoring requires you to participate in ten (10) graded discussion forums worth 23% of your course grade. There is also an ungraded but required Introductions Forum in Module 1.
Communication among fellow students and with the mentor is a critical component of online learning. Participation in online discussions involves two distinct activities: an initial response to a posted question (discussion thread) and subsequent comments on classmates' responses. Meaningful participation is relevant to the content, adds value, and advances the discussion. Comments such as "I agree" and "ditto" are not considered value-adding participation. Therefore, when you agree or disagree with a classmate, the reading, or your mentor, state and support your agreement or disagreement. You will be evaluated on the quality and quantity of your participation. Responses and comments should be properly proofread and edited, professional, and respectful.
Deadlines for posting discussion topics and comments are given in the course Calendar.
Click the link below for an evaluation rubric that will aid in the grading of online discussion forums.
Each module concludes with a written assignment, collectively worth 23% of your course grade.
Your answers to the written assignment questions should be well developed and convey your understanding of the course materials. Formulate responses in your own words, citing reading materials and other sources where appropriate and in an appropriate manner.
Click the link below for an evaluation rubric that will aid in the grading of written assignments.
You are required to take a proctored online midterm exam administered through the course Web site. Consult the course Calendar for the official date of midterm exam week.
The exam requires that you use the College's Online Proctor Service (OPS). Please refer to the "Examinations and Proctors" section of the Online Student Handbook (see General Information area of the course Web site) for further information about scheduling and taking proctored online exams and for all exam policies and procedures. You are strongly advised to schedule your exam within the first week of the semester.
Midterm Examination
The midterm exam, worth 25% of your course grade, is two hours long and covers all topics and material from Modules 1–6 of the course. It consists of 100 multiple-choice questions based on the lecture notes and assigned reading.
Statement about Cheating
You are on your honor not to cheat during the exam. Cheating means:
If there is evidence that you have cheated or plagiarized in your exam, the exam will be declared invalid, and you will fail the course.
For your final project, you will write an in-depth research paper (10 pages minimum, with references) on one of the sleep disorders discussed during this course. The final project is worth 29% of your course grade and is completed in two steps:
Please see the Final Project section of the course Web site for further details about the project. Consult the course Calendar for the deadline date of each step.
Click the link below for an evaluation rubric that will aid in the grading of the final project.
Your grade in the course will be determined as follows:
All activities will receive a numerical grade of 0–100. You will receive a score of 0 for any work not submitted. Your final grade in the course will be a letter grade. Letter grade equivalents for numerical grades are as follows:
Below 60
To receive credit for the course, you must earn a letter grade of C or better (for an area of study course) or D or better (for a nonarea of study course), based on the weighted average of all assigned course work (e.g., exams, assignments, discussion postings, etc.).
First Steps to Success
To succeed in this course, take the following first steps:
Study Tips
Consider the following study tips for success:
Students at Thomas Edison State College are expected to exhibit the highest level of academic citizenship. In particular, students are expected to read and follow all policies, procedures, and program information guidelines contained in publications; pursue their learning goals with honesty and integrity; demonstrate that they are progressing satisfactorily and in a timely fashion by meeting course deadlines and following outlined procedures; observe a code of mutual respect in dealing with mentors, staff, and other students; behave in a manner consistent with the standards and codes of the profession in which they are practicing; keep official records updated regarding changes in name, address, telephone number, or e-mail address; and meet financial obligations in a timely manner. Students not practicing good academic citizenship may be subject to disciplinary action including suspension, dismissal, or financial holds on records.
Academic Dishonesty
Thomas Edison State College expects all of its students to approach their education with academic integrity—the pursuit of scholarly activity free from fraud and deception. All mentors and administrative staff members at the College insist on strict standards of academic honesty in all courses. Academic dishonesty undermines this objective. Academic dishonesty can take the following forms:
Please refer to the Academic Code of Conduct Policy in the College Catalog and online at www.tesc.edu.
Using someone else's work as your own is plagiarism. Thomas Edison State College takes a strong stance against plagiarism, and students found to be plagiarizing will be severely penalized. If you copy phrases, sentences, paragraphs, or whole documents word-for-word—or if you paraphrase by changing a word here and there—without identifying the author, or without identifying it as a direct quote, then you are plagiarizing. Please keep in mind that this type of identification applies to Internet sources as well as to print-based sources. Copying and pasting from the Internet, without using quotation marks and without acknowledging sources, constitutes plagiarism. (For information about how to cite Internet sources, see Online Student Handbook > Academic Standards > "Citing Sources.")
Accidentally copying the words and ideas of another writer does not excuse the charge of plagiarism. It is easy to jot down notes and ideas from many sources and then write your own paper without knowing which words are your own and which are someone else's. It is more difficult to keep track of each and every source. However, the conscientious writer who wishes to avoid plagiarizing never fails to keep careful track of sources.
Always be aware that if you write without acknowledging the sources of your ideas, you run the risk of being charged with plagiarism.
Clearly, plagiarism, no matter the degree of intent to deceive, defeats the purpose of education. If you plagiarize deliberately, you are not educating yourself, and you are wasting your time on courses meant to improve your skills. If you plagiarize through carelessness, you are deceiving yourself.

Writing Assistance at Smarthinking
Originality Report Checking at Turnitin
Disciplinary Process
First-time incidents of academic dishonesty concerning plagiarism may reflect ignorance of appropriate citation requirements. Mentors will make a good faith effort to address all first-time offenses that occur in courses. In these cases, the mentor may impose sanctions that serve as a learning exercise for the offender. These may include the completion of tutorials, assignment rewrites, or any other reasonable learning tool including a lower grade when appropriate. The mentor will notify the student by e-mail. Decisions about the sanctions applied for subsequent plagiarism offenses or other violations will be made by the appropriate dean's office, with the advice of the mentor or staff person who reported the violation. The student will be notified via certified mail of the decision. Options for sanctions include:

The global WLAN market has grown tremendously in recent years. Wi-Fi in particular has been successful because of its ease of deployment in both consumer and enterprise environments. In the latest update to ABI Research's Wi-Fi Equipment Market Data, global access point shipments are forecast to exceed 70 million by 2010, of which an overwhelming 90% will be generated by the small office/home office (SOHO) and consumer markets.
"Much of the growth seen in 2008, particularly on the enterprise side, is attributed to the explosive uptake of 802.11n products. 802.11n is expected to overtake shipments of 802.11a/g by 2012, with more than 60% market share," said Serene Fong of ABI.
For now, the high-end WLAN equipment market is dominated by vertical segments such as higher education and healthcare. While 802.11a/g is obviously the most favored technology at the moment with about 84% market share, enterprises have been switching to the draft 2.0 802.11n technology for greater speed. This requirement for speed has inadvertently created more room for innovation in the enterprise market.
Consumer electronics are also being transformed by networking technology. Demand for connectivity between mainstream electronic devices in the home including TVs, gaming consoles and laptops drives the need for Wi-Fi networking. And 802.11g products are still ahead of the game here, accounting for more than eight in ten SOHO/ consumer access point shipments. However, "g" will soon be supplanted by the much faster 802.11n, especially when economies of scale push prices down to more affordable general consumer levels.
"802.11n will develop so rapidly that by the end of 2009, its shipments will almost be on par with that of 802.11g. And by 2010, 802.11n revenue will be twice that of 802.11g," Ms. Fong cautions.

I love that it is organic, but my 7 month old son doesn't like the thin consistency of Earth's Best purees. These really are very uniformly pureed, and remind me the consistency of a bisque or very thick stew/soup. My son just isn't interested in this though.

Former church employee allegedly took inappropriate pictures of children
OREGON, Wis. - Authorities have identified the former church employee accused taking inappropriate pictures of Oregon children.
Spokeswoman for the Office of Attorney General J.B. Van Hollen, Dana Brueck, said Wednesday morning that 22-year-old Brandon A. Finch was booked into Dane County Jail on suspicion of one count of possession of child pornography.
Oregon School District officials informed parents of students at the Little Angels Christian Preschool program Tuesday that a former employee of the church was arrested and accused of taking inappropriate pictures of children. Brueck said Wednesday that the former employee is Finch.
Finch was not an employee of the 4K program. He worked as an audio/visual tech and would run the sound board on Sunday mornings.
According to the email from Oregon School District Superintendent Brian Busler, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and the Wisconsin Department of Justice have contacted the district about an investigation involving a former employee of People's United Methodist Church.
"The Homeland Security agency did ask us for information going back on our student database for students who have been in the program for the last four years, and in their words, they said that was a precautionary step in their investigation process," Busler said.
Busler told News 8's sister station, WISC-TV the district learned about the investigation Tuesday.
The Little Angels Christian Preschool program is inside the People's United Methodist Church, according to the email.
Busler said the Oregon School District has been contracting with the People's United Methodist Church for preschool programs for the past three or four years.
Investigators are looking into allegations that Finch took inappropriate pictures of children during church-related activities, according to the email.
The People's United Methodist Church sent an email to their members Tuesday saying Finch took and shared inappropriate pictures of clothed children who are members of the church.
The church's pastor told News 3 inappropriate pictures were taken of about a half-dozen youth during church functions, but added that Finch was never alone with the children.
The pastor also told News 3 authorities said Finch may have downloaded child pornography on his personal computer.
According to the email, Finch was fired on Monday, and families of children involved were notified.
"Please be assured that children at People's United Methodist Church are safe and their continued safety and well-being is of our utmost concern," the church's email said.
As a precaution, investigators have asked for the names of all students who have attended Little Angels Christian Preschool 4K program for the last four years, according to the email.
"We regret these alleged incidents may have occurred and remain steadfast in helping Oregon families," Busler said in the email.
Church officials have scheduled a meeting at the church for Sunday for parishioners who want to hear more about what happened and share their concerns.
