Montae Nicholson is very familiar with the Pitt program since it's close to his home. Still, attending the junior day on Saturday, he learned some new things he hadn't seen before.
"They talked about academics, we talked with the academic advisors," Nicholson said."Then, they took us off in individual groups by position. So, for me, they took us with the defensive backs, watched films and things like that.
"It was great. I met a lot of new players, I knew some of them. The coaches are always nice. It was definitely a great experience."
In fact, Nicholson says the coaching staff is one of the overall highlights for Pitt right now. He's far from having a list of favorites or a leader, but the Pitt coaching staff has definitely made a favorable impression with him so far. Linebackers coach Chris Haering is is chief recruiter. Defensive backs coach Matt House met with him in the individual breakdown on Saturday. Nicholson has also gotten a chance to meet head coach Paul Chryst a couple of times.
"It's kind of a group effort," Nicholson said. "Coach Haering, he recruits us, but they all keep in touch with us very often. Just the fact that it is home, so close, I felt right at home. The coaches are all very good--just how they coach, their positive energy. Sometimes, it's the simple things that matter the most."
Another highlight was the Pitt basketball game on Saturday, where he and the rest of the juniors were there to see the Panthers knock off No. 6 Syracuse. Upon entering the Petersen Events Center, Nicholson and the recruits received a standing ovation from the fans--just for attending.
"That was phenomenal," Nicholson said. "I have never had that feeling. I've been to a few football games and heard the fans, but not like that. It's nice to feel wanted like that. It was such a great game, a perfect game to have a junior day."
Nicholson said they'd he's received a lot of junior day invites. Right now, he's sorting through that interest to see which schools he will be able to get to in the spring. He did say that he'll be back at Pitt for a spring practice.
One of his more recent offers came from Temple where his former head coach at Gateway, Terry Smith, took over as receivers coach.
"It's a weird feeling, now that he's gone, but it's a good feeling, too," Nicholson said. "He helped me out, starting the recruiting process. Now he's on the other side of it. I'm very happy for him."
In 2012, Nicholson finished with 25 receptions for 653 yards and six touchdowns on offense. On defense, he racked up 36 tackles, an interception and three fumble recoveries.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 27/1/2014 (1241 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Brandon University Bobcats women's basketball coach Novell Thomas has looked to Westman to lock up his first recruit for next season.
Thomas, who has guided the Bobcats to a 5-11 record in the Canada West conference — the team's best record in decades — announced Monday the commitment of Hamiota product Shayna Mathison for the 2014-15 CWUAA season. The 6-foot-2 post player has helped lead the Hamiota Huskies to back-to-back provincial A varsity girls high school basketball titles and also represented Manitoba at the Western Canadian championships and suited up for Team Westman at the 2012 Manitoba Summer Games.
Thomas said he has been following Mathison for a while.
"Shayna's height at 6-foot-2 and her aggressiveness and drive definitely caught me eye," Thomas stated in a news release. "She ended up enrolling in our Bobcat Basketball Academy, where again I got to see her work ethic and see how she has developed over the past two years, so now I am anxious to see what type of player she will become."
Mathison is coming off an impressive performance for Hamiota at the Neelin Invitational Tournament in Brandon over the weekend, scoring 21, 20, 18 and 17 points to lead the Huskies in four games.
Mathison joins another Hamiota product, freshman guard Keegan Robinson, in joining the Bobcats.
"What we need moving forward is a strong presence at centre," Thomas stated. "Shayna will add depth at that position."

Odom Lamar is a 6ft 10in basketball star, so you wouldn't want to mess with him, but that's just what photographers in the US made the mistake of doing yesterday.
Lamar, who is famously married to Khloe Kardashian, usually enjoys the limelight but in the wake of suggestions of a little marital difficulty he was clearly in no mood to be papped yesterday.
"Put your cameras down and let me talk to you man to man," he said, reasonably enough, at first. But when that didn't happen, and the snappers went on snapping, things started to heat up.
Walking over to the first photographer's car, he opened the door and hauled out a piece of metal which he then used to smash the side of the car. Then he walked over to the next photographer's car, opened the door and pulled out a large camera bag, throwing it and its contents all over the road.
This spectacle was carried out in full view of a tourist bus that just happened to be driving down the street - much to the amusement of its occupants.
Oddly, it wasn't long before he rapidly calmed down and even even agreed to have his photograph taken with a fan who stopped her car to ask him. Then he drove off in his Mercedes, leaving the paps wondering what on earth all that had been about.

Authentic German food and a beer garden are coming to Lee's Summit.
Dietrich's Modern German Cuisine and Biergarten is slated to open in August at 1313 NE Douglas Rd., the site of the recently-closed Monetti's Taste of Italy restaurant.
Biergarten is German for beer garden, an outdoor area in which beer, other drinks and local food are served. Dietrich's will put a heavy interest on the word "local" when the restaurant opens.
"One side of the restaurant will be formal dining and the other part will be a beer garden," said Becky Schulenberg, an owner along with husband, Randy, and stepson, Craig. The younger Schulenberg will serve as the restaurant's executive chef. "I know that sounds like a mismatch, but the way that we have it set up will be pretty dressy and it'll be a nice environment."
Why German cuisine and a beer garden in Lee's Summit? Schulenberg offered: "There are five German restaurants in the Kansas City area, but not Lee's Summit. I know the people we've talked to in Lee's Summit are pretty excited about it."
Asked if the family was nervous about their first foray into business, Schulenberg said: "Oh my gosh, yes. We've ran into so many barriers, but if you can make it through all of the hoops and jumping over everything then you should be good, right?"
Schulenberg said the family had hoped for an opening at the beginning of August, but a firm date has not been set.
"We were hoping for Aug. 1, but there's so many – you learn as you go," she said. "They should have a class in it. We're still going to shoot for Aug. 1. We're just going to keep pushing and harassing people until we get it pushed through. That's the only thing we can do."
Dietrich's has already hired half of its staff and plans to employ nearly two dozen people.
"It's going to be all homemade family recipes," Schulenberg said of the restaurant's cooking concepts. "We're also buying local. We have one butcher and we have one farm that we're buying all of produce and our meat from. We'll also have a local beer company that supplies the beer."
Attempts to reach Monetti's owner Giuliano Monetti, Jr. for comment were unsuccessful.

Elevated temperature restricts growth potential of the coral reef fish Acanthochromis polyacanthus

In order to test the effect of temperature variation on the growth of a common coral-reef fish, Acanthochromis polyacanthus, juveniles, sub-adults and adults were reared on either high or low food rations at temperatures corresponding to the long-term (14 year) minimum, average and maximum summer sea-surface temperatures (26, 28 and 31°C respectively) at Orpheus Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia. Both temperature and food supply affected the growth of juvenile and adult A. polyacanthus. Individuals grew more on high food rations, but growth declined with increasing temperature. Importantly, at 31°C, the growth of juveniles and adults on the high food ration was nearly identical to growth on the low food ration. This indicates that the capacity for growth is severely limited at higher ocean temperatures that are predicted to become the average for Orpheus Island within the next 100 years as a result of rapid climate change.

A recently issued order by U.S. District Court Judge Denise Cote notes that all parties must be ready for a damages trial tentatively scheduled for May 2014. For those of you who didnt know, Judge Denise Cote is the person presiding over the Justice Departments antitrust case against Apples e-book pricing policies. She previously found Apple guilty of conspiring with five major U.S. book publishers to raise the price of e-books sold through the iBookstore, an allegation lodged against the company by the Department of Justice.
At the time of her decision, the jurist didnt set a court date to decide possible damages that could amount to hundreds of millions of dollars. The plaintiffs included not only the DOJ but also 33 U.S. states and territories.
The recent order, which was originally reported by Reuters, outlines the parties upcoming schedule to argue damages against Apple. The plaintiffs are required to identify experts and expert testimony by October 11, 2013, while Apple must do the same by November 15. Expert discovery will conclude by December 13, which is the same day that class certification is due.
The case has currently been placed on the May 2014 trial ready calendar, meaning by that time, parties must be ready to begin proceedings on 24 hours notice. Following the guilty verdict, the DOJ proposed settlement terms that would require Apple to terminate existing contracts and bar any further agency model deals for five years not only in the e-books market but also with other content including music and video. The last provision was seen as overreaching as it would extend the proposals scope beyond the iBookstore and into the iTunes Store.
Apple called the measures a draconian and punitive intrusion on its iBookstore business. The five book publishers that were associated with the case: HarperCollins, Hachette, Simon & Schuster, Penguin Group and Macmillan also opposed the DOJs proposal, saying it would hurt them more than Apple. All five of the publishers settled before the trial began. Judge Cote previously proposed a different settlement plan that would stagger Apples deals with the five book publishers to prevent further price fixing allegations but no further news has come of the ordeal.
Well have to wait and see how things turn out.

This is a first attempt at adding the new Media Flagging auto-scanning to xTV.
1> Copy media/flags to your xbmc/skin/xTV/media folder
I had to add a few and change a few names to get them to work.
2> Same with PAL 16x9, copy the contents to xbmc/skin/PAL16x9/
You need the version r21076 or greater of XBMC and the latest of xTV (though it should work on most of those skin versions).
Please note, this is my first attempt to skin and as such the XML is probably quite basic compared to others. Please feel free to tart it up, should you wish.
Full size
Fixed a small problem.
Also, Media Flagging is in all view, however, some are not yet optimised for the new icons

Race and Ethnicity Reporting Changes
Beginning in Fall 2010, Federal regulations required the university to change how it collects and report data on race and ethnicity. For Federal (IPEDS) reporting and 10th Day Official counts, students are counted in ONE of the categories listed below.
New Federal IPEDS Reporting Categories
1) Nonresident Alien
2) Race and Ethnicity unknown
3) Hispanics of any race
For non-Hispanics only:
4) American Indian or Alaska Native
5) Asian
6) Black or African American
7) Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
8) White
9) Two or more races
Reporting using the new categories
For purposes other than federal reporting, the university may report additional detail using "maximum counts." The maximum count method for each racial/ethnicity category would include every individual who selected a specific category, whether or not they were Hispanic/Latino or multi‐racial (a single student may be counted within several categories causing duplicate head counts).
Please note that the new race/ethnicity data (implemented in Fall 2010) is not comparable to the old IPEDS categories. The previous approach did not allow individuals to report multi‐racial or multi‐ethnic identities, but allowed the selection of only one race category.
Existing reports (such as those from the SSEM 2000 database) are being modified to remove the old ethnicity information. Departments should also update any of their own existing reports or queries that use the outdated ethnicity data from Banner.
For further information on these changes, please refer to the Frequently Asked Questions.
For assistance in reporting the new race and ethnicity data from Banner, please contact the Administration Information Management Services office (email@example.com).
What led to this change?
Per Federal Requirements, effective 2009-2010
Federal regulations are requiring the University of Michigan and all institutions of higher education to change how they collect and report data on race and ethnicity. Because the change in race and ethnicity categories will produce incomparable statistics, all University of Michigan-Flint students who answered a race/ethnicity question on an admissions application in the old format or who did not answer the question were resurveyed with a new two-question format using the UM-Flint Student Information System (SIS).
The race and ethnicity information on file for current and former UM-Flint students was converted to the new format insofar as possible using assumptions approved by the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. Beginning October 15, 2009, students to be resurveyed saw the questions on the first screen when logging into SIS. The survey asked the student to update and confirm the data we have on file in the system. This survey displayed each time a person logged in until they completed the survey. It was possible to "opt out" of the survey by leaving the answers blank and submitting the survey.
Frequently Asked Questions were prepared by the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor to assist all U-M campuses in preparation for these changes. If you have questions about the changes, please contact Brad Maki, Director of Graduate Admissions, and Chair of the Committee on IPEDS Race/Ethnicity Tracking/Reporting for the Flint campus at 810-762-3171 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

I'm not sure if the following is possible or whether it exists somewhere
between the realms of fantasy and science fiction. I have been unable to do
Given a list, set, vector (whatever you want to call it) consisting of
functions of the same variable, i.e.
list = {a1+b1*k, a2+b2*k, a3+b3*k...}
Assuming they are all linear (of the form a+b*k) is there away to isolate
the a_i and b_i values? Essentially I would like to get a list "A"
consisting of all the intercept values, and a list "B" consisting of all the
slope values.
Is this possible? What kind of operations do I need to use to accomplish
this (if indeed it is possible)?
Thanks for any insights.

June 26 (Reuters) - Stock futures pointed to a slightly lower opening for Canada's main stock index on Friday on uncertainty ahead of debt negotiations between Greece and its creditors.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 28/1/2014 (1243 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Brandon School Division administrators, teachers and guidance counsellors were treated to a lesson in universal youth empowerment based on the Circle of Courage method during a special conference on Tuesday.
More than 90 BSD staff members attended the all-day conference led by Martin Brokenleg, Circle of Courage co-founder and consultant for Reclaiming Youth International.
For 30 years, Brokenleg was a professor of Native American studies at Augustana College in Sioux Falls, S.D. He has also been a director of The Neighborhood Youth Corps and has consulted and led training programs throughout North America, New Zealand and South Africa.
BSD aboriginal education specialist Amie Martin, who helped organize the speaking engagement, said Brokenleg addressed teachers concerns in regards to bullying and students at risk.
"They want to look at the Circle of Courage as an approach and implement it," Martin said. "But it will take a whole community to get into this, not just the schools, in order for something to happen."
The Circle of Courage is a philosophy that combines educational thought with the wisdom of indigenous cultures and emerging research on positive youth empowerment, Brokenleg said. The philosophy includes four core values and experiences which include belonging, mastery, independence and generosity.
"These are all basic human experiences that have been creating strong people for centuries," Brokenleg said.
The central theme of this model is that a set of shared values must exist in order to create environments that ultimately benefit everyone, he said.
Brokenleg stressed the fact that the model works to empower all youth, not just those of aboriginal descent.
"If we provide the right kinds of experiences we can create resiliency in all youth, that is to say, when life gets messy and knocks kids down the ability to get up again is the outcome if we provide the right kinds of experiences."
A strong relationship between a student and a teacher based on positive personal interactions can provide a source of strength, he said.
"Adults remember certain teachers because of the kindness that was in them, because of their hope and belief in us, because they brought out something good in us," he said. "There's really no more powerful legacy that a human being can leave in the world than that."
Brokenleg said he hopes the Circle of Courage youth empowerment method becomes the "overarching dynamic" of any community and school.
"The curriculum effects the students mind and what the Circle of Courage is interested in is effecting the students heart inside, the emotion, the motivation of the spirt, the soul."

Coachella Shooting
Victim wounded, hospitalized
Coachella, Calif. - A confrontation involving several men at a Coachella street corner nearly turned deadly early today when one of them was shot and wounded, a sheriff's sergeant said.
Dispatchers received a 911 call at 1:45 a.m. and sent deputies to 4th Street and Vine Avenue where the shooting happened. The victim was sent to a hospital for treatment of what Riverside County sheriff's Sgt. Steve DaSilva described as a non-life threatening injury.
No one was arrested in connection with the shooting sheriff's officials will treat as an assault with a deadly weapon case. Deputies asked anyone with information about the incident to call Investigator Lisandro Tijerina at the sheriff's Thermal station at (760) 863-8990.

- Last updated: 5 years ago
I'm 135lbs and 5'8. I've told 2 of my close friends that I'm going to have multiple consults for vaser and they just laugh at me telling me I'm already small. But I know for a fact I have my problem areas like the top of my thighs touch and my abs and back just have this layer of fat enough to give me a small muffin top. Does anyone have any before and after pictures they could send me that they originally started in shape? All the vaser lipo ones you see online and on the doc sights are of highly over weight people who had maybe 5 liters taken out. Any advice would be helpful! Thanks.

Well there's something you don't see every day. Actually, it's something you haven't seen in 11,315 days, to be precise. Chinese steel production will decline on an annual basis for the first time in 31 years at current production levels, according to Angus Grigg in today's Australian Financial Review.
Chinese steel mills crank out steel faster than Rio, BHP, and FMG can dig up iron ore in the Pilbara. A slow-down in steel consumption — Shanghai steel purchases fell 15% in July from June — probably means lower iron ore prices. How much lower? And more importantly, are lower prices already factored into Aussie producers?
We'll get back to that in moment. But are we panicking just a bit? As Jim Rickards mentioned last week in Sydney, Chinese GDP can be whatever the Communist Party of China (CPC) wants it to be. GDP is consumption + investment + government spending + (exports – imports). In China's economy, if consumption is down and exports have stalled (thank you European debt crisis), can't the CPC just crank up the government spending/fixed asset investment machine, like it did in 2009?
You'd think so. But here we come to the fatal flaw of State-run capitalism. When you ignore profit in favour of political goals, real resources and labour are wasted in non-productive investments. This is precisely what Greg Canavan warned of a few weeks ago in his report, China's Bust. Grigg elaborates in today's Australian Financial Review:
'China's largely state-owned steel sector has resisted making big cuts to production this year, despite weak demand. This is partly due to the particularities of the local steel sector…
'Local governments force many steel mills to keep producing, even when it is uneconomic, to maintain tax revenue, jobs and to show Beijing they are delivering on economic growth targets.
'State-owned banks often extend financing to these mills, allowing them to produce loss-making lines, but there are fears about credit remaining available to support the steel trade because of recent loan defaults.'
The enabler/crack dealer in this whole scheme is the banking sector. Somebody has to subsidise loss-making ventures. That somebody in China is the state-owned banking sector. And that sector may be running up against the limits of loss-making loans. Three years of making loans to local Chinese governments for infrastructure projects are now coming home to roost.
There are over 54,000 loss-making enterprises in the Chinese economy as of June 2012, according to Tom Orlik in today's Wall Street Journal. That's a 34% increase year over year. According to the Journal (emphasis added is ours):
'Nonperforming loans rose to 438 billion Yuan ($66 billion) in March, from 407 billion Yuan in September 2011. Lenders are preventing a bigger increase by rolling over loans to local-government borrowers. In 2011, banks played pretend and extend with 2.2 trillion Yuan in debt, equivalent to 29 per cent of new loans for the year.
'There could be worse to come. China's ratio of credit to gross domestic product rocketed from around 134 per cent in 2008 to 174 per cent in 2011. If Beijing wants to head off a financial crisis, the stock of credit needs to grow at a slower rate than the overall economy. Given this, the rate of growth for bank loan books could drop closer to single digits.'
Can you see the problem now? China's economy may not have the 'policy flexibility' to ramp up stimulus spending in the way that many analysts breezily claim. Credit as a percentage of GDP is already growing like a weed. Unless the government wants to force more losses on the banks — losses that threaten the accumulated savings of hardworking Chinese — credit growth will slow, along with investment in fixed assets.
That's the theory, anyway. Can the charts tell you anything useful? The Reuters/Jeffries CRB Index — a broad measure of commodities — is up about 12.2% since late June. Higher oil prices have boosted the short-term uptrend. But in order to have real conviction that the CPC can turn the spending taps on in the second-half of the year and boost Australian resource demand, you'd want to see the 100-day moving average turn up and cross the 200-day moving average.
One simple way for China's economy to boost growth now without spending money is to let the Yuan weaken against the US dollar. This is exactly what Jim Rickards foresaw last week. Currency wars are all about stealing growth from your economic rivals/customers by devaluation. China can boost the export component of GDP by devaluing the Yuan.
However there may be other signs that China's political leaders are going to wait until after the election of the new Standing Committee of the Politburo later this year before pursuing any new economic or currency policies. When you've run out of economic choices that might avert a crisis, your best choice is to start a political crisis that will distract everyone.
Last week, 14 Hong Kong activists were arrested by the Japanese on a small island in the East China Sea. The island is part of a chain that both China and Japan lay territorial claim too. You can see on the map below that the Japanese and Chinese have different names for the same islands. And this week, about 150 Japanese activists landed on the same island to commemorate Japan's war dead.
The Financial Times reports that anti-Japanese protests erupted all over China over the weekend. Some Japanese restaurants and retail outlets across China were forced to close. And in the city of Shenzhen, a Japanese-made police car was overturned by an angry crowd.
The last time Japan and China came to blows in the East China Sea was in 2010. Back then, a Chinese fishing boat allegedly rammed a Japanese coast guard vessel in disputed waters. The Japanese took the crew of the fishing boat into custody. China retaliated by halting the export of rare earths to Japanese electronics producers.
Welcome to 21st century warfare. Most people think of war only as armed conflict. But as we're seeing now, warfare includes computer viruses, currency manipulation, export quotas and an ever growing arsenal of ways to get what you want without shooting someone and taking it.
Don't rule out the 'shooting someone and taking it' approach. It's been popular throughout human history, especially as a way of alleviating (or at least redirecting) economic anger and misery. But political tensions have to be systematically ratcheted up by the State before you can start lobbing missiles. Unfortunately, with an election in the US and a change of leadership in China, get ready for the ratcheting.
This is a pretty stiff head wind for stocks to make higher highs into. It would be a brave contrarian who buys now, expecting the political stuff to be resolved without more chaos and crisis. Who's feeling brave today?

I've never done it before so I think I'll start with a Romanian G and then move on to an underfolder of some sort. I've seen the instructions and tools needed and don't think any of it will really be a problem, but I'd be interested to hear other people's stories just the same... :smile:

Natalie Portman Takes "Thor" to Comic-Con 2010
Stepping out in sunny San Diego for the Comic-Con happenings, Natalie Portman was all smiles as she took the stage at the San Diego Convention Center on Saturday afternoon (July 24).
The "V for Vendetta" actress partook in the Marvel Studios' 'Thor' and 'Captain America: The First Avenger' panel discussion, joining 'Thor' director Kenneth Branagh, as well as co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Kat Dennings.
During the course of their discussions, Miss Portman disappointingly told the crowd that while she filmed her 'Thor' role, she won't be participating in 'The Avengers' film.
Nat also chatted about her role in 'Black Swan,' telling, "The character's name is Nina and she's someone who's trying to find her own artistic voice and has to sort of lose everything to gain that vision and that sense of self. It's very hard to describe you just have to see it."

Her songs will start playing and girls will grab each other to dance in tight, elated circles. It doesn't really matter what she's saying, but who she's saying it to.
I don't dance. It's a language I don't understand. It's Swahili. It's pollen. I am allergic to the dance – when I listen to music, I like to sing along and occasionally raise my head, like a dog enjoying the wind through a car window. I'm a still person, content when stretched flat on a banquette. I don't dance, can't dance and won't dance. There is, however, one artist whose songs always make my legs twitch. And my arms. And slightly my nostrils. When I saw Beyoncé's new video "Run the World (Girls)", yes, I wanted to dance. Specifically, I wanted to do this shaky thing with my shoulders that I find, after Googling, is called the "Eskista". So that was the first thing I thought: I want to wobble my shoulders like a flickering screen. And then I thought: in a song about female empowerment, why are all the dancers wearing suspenders and sheer basques?
Soon after this, I was forwarded a link to a YouTube video that, in the time it took me to watch, went viral. Amber (online as NineteenPercent) provided a sassy, articulate, fabulous feminist critique of Beyoncé's new single. This anthem, with its accompanying video of an army of (be-basqued) women, claims that girls run the world; Amber says she's selling listeners a bill of goods, "lulling girls into a false sense of achievement". Who runs the world? Girls? "95% of domestic abuse victims are women," she points out. "We're not even running our domiciles." Analysing the lyrics, she splinters Beyoncé's faux-feminism underfoot, then sweeps it away neatly. To Beyoncé, Amber says, it's somewhat "premature to be making victory anthems".
Beyoncé (she of "Independent Women" and "Survivor" fame) is often held up as an example of a strong female role model, but this week blogs are questioning how well her lyrics sit with her influence. Until now, few people have had a bad word to say about her – her choruses stick in the mind like Post-it notes; her thighs keep most men transfixed.
But does some of her appeal lie in the fact that, in interviews, she says so little? She keeps herself hidden, a blank. Like Kate Moss, whose "cool" evaporated as soon as she started talking to the press, is Beyoncé's implied authority a result of her silence? Watching a T4 interview with her a couple of years ago made me crumple; she spoke the language of inspirational posters. I return to the videos, jiggling in my seat. All her "Go, girl!" songs, I realise, pivot on a transaction: power measured by the weight of a wallet. The distance between feminism and "girl power" (as heard on Radio 1) is interesting, I think – I picture a busy dual carriageway littered with Coke cans. But could it be that Beyoncé's songs (the lyrics of which, while focusing on the experience of being a woman, do so from her particularly business-led perspective) take listeners a little way along that road? While "Run the World (Girls)" may not be accurate, I wonder if its confident message, rather than kidding listeners, instead inspires them to fight for small changes.
I spend a happy hour revisiting Destiny's Child singles, and the glorious gale force of the "Single Ladies" video, and the recent footage of Beyoncé gatecrashing a middle school in Harlem, dancing along with the female students, grinning blondely throughout. It's this image that burns brightest for me. One that, as a non-dancer moved from my seat only for a Beyoncé song, has the most impact – you see it at discos, at teenage parties, on the sticky floors of a suburban pub. Her song will start playing and girls will grab each other to dance in tight, elated circles. It doesn't really matter what she's saying, but who she's saying it to. Because her songs talk to girls, her songs make girls talk.

As the rest of the nation frets about a nail-biter of a presidential race, this city and its surroundings are still wracked by the effects of Hurricane Sandy nearly a week after its landfall.
On Sunday, many New Yorkers and New Jerseyans were occupied by tasks more elemental than preparing to vote: namely, staying warm, seeking gas and helping their storm-swept neighbors get through another cold day.
"I'm not even thinking about the election," said Bob Quigley, 42, a police officer who was helping clear storm debris from his father's home in Belle Harbor, a quaint island community on the Rockaways in Queens, N.Y., where floodwater reached the second floors of some homes. "It's kind of like the Third World" here, he added.
The hurricane's direct hit on the infrastructure and psyche of New York and New Jersey has positioned Election Day as a test of collaboration amid crisis, an exercise of mind over matter, a balance between survival and citizenship.
Forty-eight hours before polls opened, near the West 80s in Manhattan's Riverside Park, some volunteers sawing through downed tree branches were anxious about how curbed turnout would nudge the popular vote. Downtown, at Hamilton Fish Park at Pitt and East Houston streets, hundreds of people in line were focused solely on picking up boxes of emergency rations and warm clothing as FEMA, the National Guard and the New York Police Department managed the distribution.
The election "is on nobody's mind," said Madge Jones, a school lunch helper who lives in a Lower East Side public housing complex that she says regained electricity Friday but still doesn't have heat. "Everyone's trying to live. They got kids. How's anybody gonna go out and vote?"
Yet every one of a dozen motorists interviewed while they were waiting in a long line for gas Sunday in downtown Newark, N.J., said they intend to vote. Nelson Viera, 47, said that power has finally been restored to his home and that he intends to be at the polls Tuesday.
"It's one of our rights," said Viera, who works for a mapmaker. "It deserves to be protected."
The New York region continued to stagger to its feet Sunday, a bright and cloudless day with a chilling breeze. Con Edison has restored power to about 70 percent of the nearly 1 million customers who lost it, and the subway and school systems were expected to be 90 percent operational Monday, according to Mayor Michael Bloomberg, I. But some residents were entering their second week without electricity or heat.
The election seemed trivial in the tattered landscape, especially in coastal towns of southern Brooklyn and Queens, where Sandy's surge ruined homes. The polling station at Bay Academy, the local high school in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn, had been submerged. There were rumors of contingency plans, but nobody knew for sure.
"I heard on the radio that some kind of National Guard trucks are coming and they are going to set up some polling booths in front of the school," said Barry Weinstein, 60, a credit manager at a Long Island City limousine company. "But why would we want to vote for anybody? No one has been here. Where's the governor? Where's the mayor?"
They were on Twitter, at least.
"I still don't have power in my house," New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, R, tweeted at 3:52 p.m. Sunday. "I'm not happy about it either but that's the way it goes. It was a major storm. We have to be patient."
Bloomberg, who visited the devastated Staten Island, tweeted at 10:42 a.m. that "our focus today is checking in on people and seeing who else needs a warm place to sleep tonight. Shelters are open."
New Jersey's Department of State announced Saturday that displaced residents can vote by e-mail or fax, though more than half the town of Long Branch was without power Sunday, Mayor Adam Schneider said on 101.5 FM.
Sixty of New York City's about 1,300 polling sites have been relocated or combined ahead of Tuesday, an adjustment that affects about 143,000 voters. Affected polling sites can operate without power because the paper ballots can be optically scanned elsewhere, but election officials were ensuring that such sites at least have light so voters can see. Generators were being trucked in from other states, and the National Guard may provide glow sticks to voters if necessary, said John Conklin, director of public information for the New York State Board of Elections.
Relocating polling sites off the hard-hit Rockaway Peninsula in Queens would essentially disenfranchise voters, Conklin said. Places such as Long Beach, a barrier island of 35,000 residents in the Nassau County constituency of Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., are "basically locked down," the lawmaker said. "It seems almost every home is without power, people have left, polling locations may be in other communities, and people may have to get off the island to vote."
A reduced turnout in New York and New Jersey matters little to the presidential candidates vying for the states' combined 43 electoral votes, which are solidly in President Barack Obama's column, but local races could be affected. The contest between Rep. Timothy Bishop, D, and repeat challenger Randy Altschuler in New York's 1st Congressional District — the eastern end of Long Island, with 300 miles of affected coastline — was decided by several hundred votes in 2010, and both men found themselves manning a hybrid operation in the closing days of this campaign.
"The first question we're asking when we talk to a voter is, 'How are you doing and what do you need?' and the second is to make sure they're in a position that they can get out to vote," says Bishop, who thinks his race will hinge on turnout and estimated that half of Long Island was still without power Sunday morning. "But people without power are worrying about power; people without gas in the tank are worried about how they're getting to work on Monday. . . . The variety of really, really serious needs that people have" trump voting.
Altschuler, a Republican businessman whose home near Smithtown is still without power, has toured damaged areas in the event that he is elected and recovery becomes his mandate in January. His campaign manager, Diana Weir, said their headquarters in Brookhaven is accepting food and water donations and is coordinating with the town's Republican committee, which has chartered six buses to take voters to the polls Tuesday.
Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer is "extremely concerned" about Election Day — and considers New York City's Board of Elections "troubled even under the best circumstances" — but was otherwise heartened by his interactions with residents.
"When I was out on the Lower East Side talking to tenants in public housing a couple days ago, people were waiting hours for food and water," Stringer said. "It looked like soup lines in the Depression. But I cannot tell you how many people came up to me and asked, 'Are we going to be able to vote?' It's heartwarming to look at our democracy through the eyes of people who are truly suffering and still concerned about voting."
But Jones, the school lunch helper and public housing resident waiting in one of those lines Sunday, was more concerned about the nor'easter predicted to whip up high seas and gusty winds in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast the day after the election.
"We're in a home with no heat, and we're coming to another storm," she said. "That's crazy."

Joining Michigan at the event will be No. 5 Texas, No. 45 LSU and No. 40 Denver.
Event Format
There will be no team scoring at the event. Both singles and doubles matches will be played. Players and doubles teams from each team will face each other over the three-day event but will be competing individually.
Schedule Of Events
Friday, Jan. 7
10 a.m. -- vs. Denver (singles)
12:30 p.m. - vs. LSU (doubles)
Saturday, Jan. 8
10 a.m. -- vs. Texas (singles)
12:30 p.m. -- vs. Denver (doubles)
Sunday, Jan. 9
10 a.m. -- vs. Texas (doubles)
11 a.m. -- vs. LSU (singles)
Scouting the Competition
Texas -- Texas finished the 2010 season with a 27-3 record and an appearance in the NCAA Sweet 16, where it lost to fellow Big 12 opponent Oklahoma. The Longhorns won the Big 12 championship last season, and now-departed star Dimitar Kutrovsky reached the NCAA singles quarterfinals. Texas is ranked No. 5 in the first ITA poll of the season. The Longhorns have three ranked players -- Kellen Damico (No. 76), Vasko Mladenov (No. 78) and Ben Chen (No. 100) -- and three ranked doubles teams -- Ed Corrie/Jean Anderson (No. 5), Ben Chen/Daniel Whitehead (No. 15)and Kellen Damico/David Hollner (No. 25). During the fall season, Corrie and Anderson won doubles title at the ITA Texas Regional and advanced to the semifinals at the ITA National Indoor Collegiate Championships.
LSU -- LSU went 8-15 last season in dual match play, failing to qualify for the NCAA Championships and reaching the second round of the SEC Championships. The Tigers are ranked No. 45 in the first ITA poll of the season and have one ranked player on their squad, No. 102 Mark Bowtell. Additionally, the doubles team of Sebastian Carlsson and Neal Skupski is ranked No. 27 in the country.
Denver -- Denver finished the 2009-10 season with a 19-5 record, losing to Michigan in the first round of the NCAA Championships. The Pioneers are ranked No. 40 in the first ITA poll of the season and were the runners-up to the Sun Belt Conference team title last season. They have only one player ranked, No. 25 Enej Bonin.
Michigan plays both Texas and LSU in dual matches later in the season. The Wolverines host Texas on Jan. 22 and travel to Baton Rouge, La., to face the Tigers on March 17.
Last Year at Key Biscayne
All four teams met at the same event last season. Michigan was able to play Denver and Texas in both singles and doubles but was only able to play LSU in doubles. Jason Jung (Torrance, Calif./West Torrance) won both his singles matches at last season's event.
The Key Biscayne Individuals will serve as a homecoming of sorts for freshman and Miami, Fla., native Alex Buzzi (Key Biscayne, Fla./Gulliver Prep). Buzzi was the final member of Michigan's four-man recruiting class for this season and went 8-5 in singles play during the fall slate.
Looking Back On 2010
Michigan went 14-11 last season, reaching the second round of the NCAA Championships in its fifth straight NCAA appearance. The Wolverines went 8-2 in conference play, finishing third in the Big Ten, and reached the semifinals of the Big Ten Championship in Bloomington, Ind. Jason Jung and Evan King (Chicago, Ill./Kaplan) were both All-Big Ten selections, while King also received the Big Ten Freshmen of the Year award, joining former U-M tennis greats MaliVai Washington (1988) and Dan Brakus (1991) as the only other players in program history to receive the honor since it was created in 1988.
Fall Season Recap
Sept. 24-26 -- at Cliffs' NCAA Tennis Classic (Travelers Rest, S.C.) -- Jason Jung was named Most Outstanding Player at the Cliffs' NCAA Tennis Classic. In addition, all four freshmen earned their first collegiate singles wins.
Oct. 4-5, 7-8 -- at ITA All-American Championships, Qualifying & Main Draw (Tulsa, Okla.) -- Jason Jung and Evan King reached the quarterfinals of the doubles main draw, knocking off two teams ranked in the preseason Top 20, including the nation's No. 5 team. In singles, Jung went 1-2 in the main draw, while King went 1-1 in qualifying.
Oct. 21-25 -- at USTA/ITA Midwest Regional Championships (South Bend, Ind.) -- Evan King reached the singles semifinals, helping Michigan players complete the event with a 13-9 combined record in singles play.
Oct. 29-Nov. 1 -- at Big Ten Indoors Championships (East Lansing, Mich.) -- Freshmen Barrett Franks (Christchurch, New Zealand/Christchurch) and Justin Rossi (Novi, Mich./Laurel Springs Prep) won the flight 'A' doubles title, winning four straight matches. Another freshman, Shaun Bernstein (Plainview, N.Y./Plainview Old Bethpage JFK), reached the singles semifinals of the event.
Nov. 4-5 -- at USTA/ITA National Indoors Championships (Flushing, N.Y.) -- Evan King represented the Wolverines as a wildcard selection in the 32-man singles main draw but lost both of his matches to ranked opponents, No. 20 Ryan Lipman (Vanderbilt) and No. 33 Ionut Beleleu (Oklahoma).
U-M in the National Rankings
Michigan is ranked No. 25 in the first Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings of the season, released on Jan. 4. Jason Jung is ranked No. 35 in the singles poll, while Jung and Evan King are ranked No. 28 in the doubles poll.
Rookie Rewind
Michigan's four freshmen got a very good taste of collegiate competition this fall. One of the highlights of the fall season was Barrett Franksand Justin Rossi winning the doubles title at the Big Ten Indoor Championships in late October. The freshmen combined for a 26-18 record in singles competition during the fall slate, including eight wins each by Alex Buzzi and Shaun Bernstein.
The Captain
Senior Jason Jung was voted as team captain for the 2010-11 season by his teammates. Jung enjoyed a fantastic season last year as a junior, including being named an All-Big Ten selection and qualifying for the NCAA Championships in both singles and doubles (with Evan King). Off the court, Jung was recognized as the national and Midwest regional winner of the ITA Arthur Ashe Jr. Award for Leadership and Sportsmanship and was the Big Ten Conference's male nominee for the NCAA Sportsmanship Award.
For his career, Jung owns a 65-55 (.541) record in singles and a 73-48 (.603) record in doubles, playing atop the lineup for most of his career. His 24 doubles wins last season were tied for seventh most all-time at Michigan, and he is currently eighth all-time in school history in career doubles wins.
Future Wolverines
Michigan inked two top prep players -- Alex Petrone (Staten Island, N.Y./Laurel Springs Prep) and Eli Brown (Toronto, Ontario/City Academy) -- to National Letters of Intent during the early signing period this fall. Petrone is rated as a blue-chip recruit and No. 16 nationally by the service www.tennisrecruiting.net., while Brown won the Cuba ITF singles title and Dominican Republic ITF doubles title last year as a junior.
Leader of the Wolverines
Bruce Berque enters his seventh season as the head coach of the University of Michigan men's tennis team. He has taken the Wolverines to five straight NCAA Championships appearances, including the Sweet 16 in 2008. Berque owns a career dual-meet record of 96-61, including a 42-18 mark in Big Ten play. In addition, the Wolverines have finished in the top half of the Big Ten in each of Berque's first five years at the helm, finishing no lower than fourth place.
He is assisted by associate head coach Sean Maymi, who is in his fifth season, and volunteer assistant Scott Oudsema, who is in his second.

Interview: IGDA Names Joshua Caulfield New Executive Director
July 2, 2009 | By
Chris Remo
July 2, 2009 | By
Chris Remo
4 comments
After several months of searching following the
resignation of longtime IGDA director Jason Della Rocca
, the International Game Developers Association has named Joshua Caulfield the new executive director of the organization.
Unlike Della Rocca, Caulfield does not come from within the computer or video game industry -- but he is a gamer, he told Gamasutra in an interview in advance of today's announcement.
Rather, his experience is with professional associations in other fields. Most recently, he served as the executive VP of the American Machine Tool Distributors Association.
In recent months, the IGDA has been the subject of much debate, particularly with respect to various actions surrounding members of its board of directors, and questions as to the association's specific purpose.
Caulfield hopes to bring his professional association experience to bear on those issues, telling Gamasutra he will be learning as much as possible about the industry and its members in the coming months, and adding, "We're going to work on being much more open to the membership and the industry at large."
But, unlike his predecessor Della Rocca, Caulfield does not plan on being a public face of the industry -- that role will fall to the board.
In a comprehensive interview about his role and the role of the IGDA, Caulfield addressed the organization's mission, its structure, the changing role of the executive director and the board, the IGDA's image in the industry, and his own personal gaming habits.
What's your role as the new executive director, and how does it differ from the prior incarnation of that role?
Joshua Caulfield: Well, one of the things that was important to the board during the discussions that we had during the interview process was the lack of industry knowledge [on my part]. In talking with them and doing my own research before even applying, what was clear is that the IGDA had changed dramatically over the last several years.
Jason had built a great organization, but the organization had changed, like many do. They've got some great people sitting in the chairs at the board, and those people are going to start taking on more of the role of the outward-facing industry voice, which frankly is quite appropriate in such an organization.
I am going to have a more inward, organizational focus, to make sure the ship is running.
So how did you and the board sort of those problems with respect to your industry knowledge?
JC: First off, I'm an avid gamer. I'm clearly not a game developer, and there's a big difference there, but I do understand the medium. I play a lot of games; I have a group and we play a lot of MMOs. I'm quite familair with the industry from a gamer's perspective. So that helps a lot.
And there are a lot of fantastic resources, like Gamasutra, that allowed me during the application process to study up. Association professionals have to learn a lot about different industries from job to job. And frankly, I've got 12 mentors sitting on the board of directors that I can reach out to when I have questions and concerns, and get an understanding of what's really going on.
There's been a lot of discussion in the industry recently about just what the role of the IGDA is. How would you respond to questions about that?
JC: The IGDA's mission has remained very much the same: That is, to support the professional game developer -- specifically, I believe, to serve individuals to create video games, to enhance the lives of game developers, to connect developers with their peers, and so on. Those [goals] have not changed.
What has changed, is someone who's focused on creating real value for your membership dues. One of my primary goals will be to reach out to the members and learn what's going on in their daily lives. What do they need? Do they need education? Do they need support for independents? What do they need?
[I'll be] going out and finding services, or building services from scratch, to serve those particular needs. A lot of my first six months is going to be learning. We're going to work on being much more open to the membership and the industry at large.
Can you speak on what any of those services or benefits might be, based on either your education about this industry so far, or programs from other professional associations?
JC: I don't want to reveal too much about what's going on behind the curtain, since I'd like to keep some of that for further down, but one of the first things I'll be doing is a member survey. Clearly there are a variety of [geographic] groups within the IGDA. When you have 14,000 members, they're going to start forming groups.
You'll see a lot of surveys, a lot of research, and you'll start seeing some applications available to the international crowd, as well as the U.S. and Canada. Certainly, the vast majority of our membership is in Canada and the U.S., but there's an "I" in our name and that's very important. We'll be making a lot of this available online for all members.
Most of those individual chapters you mention work entirely on a volunteer basis, and are essentially independent from the IGDA itself in operation. Do you think that structure makes sense? Would you look to change it?
JC: I think that if the chapters perceive value in working with the central organization, they will do so voluntarily, and I will seek very much to create that value for them.
Occasionally in this industry, developers propose the concept of unions, but there has never been enough stated interest or momentum to move forward significantly. Do you have any thoughts on that, and how specifically do you differentiate professional organizations and unions?
JC: Just giving me the easy questions, I see. [laughs] There are a lot of differences between a union and a professional association. I really can't say whether this industry needs a union or not, because I don't know enough about the individuals of this industry yet.
My feeling about the IGDA is that that is not really where the IGDA's mission seems to belong, and that's not the story I'm being told by the members who are actively involved in the organization.
Have you examined the IGDA Leadership Forum? Is that something you would like to expand into a larger conference?
JC: I have looked at the Leadership Forum, and frankly it's one of the best programs we're doing right now.
Yes, I would like to expand the way in which that can impact the members. I don't see us expanding it in terms of making it in terms of a giant multithousand person conference, but rather breaking it out into additional tracks.
Right now it doesn't serve all of the membership -- perhaps [we could be] doing a visual design conference, or a quality assurance conference, or a biz dev conference. I don't know that those need to be all tied [together]; they may be separate.
But also, one thing we're looking at is something like a road show, to get out to the membership -- not just in the US, but internationally finding ways to produce those locally. We have a Shanghai chapter, and I think it's very unlikely they're going to fly out to attend this forum, but maybe we can help them put something together.
That goes back to the chapter issue. Maybe if the central office can help provide services and programs around the world, clearly they will be excited about working with the international office.
What about the recently-announced IGDA magazine?
JC: I am committed to us doing the magazine. The issue will be in terms of timing and economics.
As the public face of the IGDA, how much should its board of directors hold strong personal opinions about the process of game development or the way studios should be run?
JC: With the change in style, that's going to be something that they're going to need to address, and I will work with them on figuring out the pros and cons of the level of involvement and outspokenness that's out there.
At the end of the day, we'll have some agreed upon principles, where if you're a board member, this is where you should be. But that's going to be in large part for them to decide.
I'm sure you've taken a look at the Mike Capps situation, with his thoughts on overtime and quality of life that sparked some controversy. Are there lessons to be learned there for the IGDA?
JC: I did look at it, and I think that the IGDA needs to have a better way to respond to issues like that. I don't know what that way will be yet, but I think we need to have a better process and understanding of, here's how quickly you can expect responses and how those repsonses will go. It's important for us to be fair and respectful and tactful.
How responsible is the board for the new direction of the organization, relative to you?
JC: I don't think there's a change in the structure of the role of the board, but one of the things that I encouraged the board to [adopt], and they agreed, was that I am not a voting member of the board, whereas Jason was. It's important to understand that as a professional association, the staff serves the will of the membership, and that will should be represented by their elected leaders.
You mentioned you play a lot of games. Could you elaborate?
JC: I have most of the consoles, and I pull them out when I have a little alone time, but my true love is MMOs on the PC. I'm generally an RPGer. My group just got off a stint on
World of Warcraft
, where I play a
Shadow Priest
. I play the backup healer, because if the main healer goes down, your backup healer better be ready.
We're right now playing
Guild Wars
, and I'm playing a
, so I'm a healer again. I tend to do the support role a lot.
That's very appropriate.
JC: It may or may not tie into why I am an industry association professional. That's where my love tends to lie.

Here's the problem and the main reason why many of us that have thought of this idea previously have never followed through.
Taken quite by surpirse at this nasty welcome (and without taking a moment to think before speaking), I looked her dead in the eye and shot back "Want to bet?". Needless to say, this probably did not endear her to me.
She then said "We have your card and will give it to her. If she thinks there is a proiblem, she can call you." I'm sure she will.
As I left, I secretly hoped they'd get hacked that night. It would server her mean old ass right. After all, I am just here trying to help the ignorant stay safe - for free - no strings attached.
You gave them your business card, and showed them that they're vulnerable.
Now, if they're breached in anyway, there's gonna be a LEO knocking on your door, and you're gonna be hard pressed to prove that it wasn't you that did it. It's gonna take hiring an attorney.
Good luck, I hope something bad doesn't happen.

Ellison injured, Friday's fight vs. Diaz canceled
An arm injury has forced Wanzell Ellison (9-0-1, 5 KOs) to withdraw, forcing the cancelation of his scheduled 10-round main event fight this Friday night against undefeated beaten junior lightweight prospect Joel Diaz, Jr. (13-0, 11 KOs), on the SMS Promotions-presented "Big Apple Boxing" card at Resorts World Casino NYC in Jamaica, Queens, New York. The 10-round bout for the vacant North American Boxing Federation (NABF) junior welterweight title, matching undefeated Amir "Young Master" Imam (11-0, 10 KOs) against Mexican veteran Sergio "Sirenito" Perez (28-15, 9 KOs), has been elevated to the main event.
Promoter/rapper Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson and newest boxer in his SMS Promotions stable, world junior middleweight contender James Kirkland, will hold a meet-and-greet prior to Friday night's fights between 6:30-7 p.m. ET at Resorts World Casino NYC
Undefeated junior welterweight prospect "Magic Man" Luis Olivares (6-0, 4 KOs) will be showcased in a six-round bout against Tony "Sugar Boy" Walker (5-3-1, 3 KOs). Also fighting on the undercard in six-round matches are undefeated Puerto Rican junior middleweight Emmanuel "Pirata" De Jesus (8-0, 5 KOs) vs. Antonio Fernandez-Chaves (4-13-2), super bantamweight Thomas "KO" Snow (16-1, 10 KOs) vs. Nate Green (4-0, 1 KO), and welterweight Donte Strayhorn (3-1) vs. Sam Moura (0-2). Scheduled to fight in four-round matches are lightweight Ryan "Blue-Chip" Martin (1-0, 1 KO) vs. Eric Jamar Goodall (1-2), and pro-debuting bantamweight Mafato Kamogawa vs. native Michelle Cook (0-0-1).

Another theme that I have thought about….wondering if it would make the cut. Any thoughts?
Hello, it is a little bit difficult to judge right now because only two selected parts are shown. However, upon what I see now I am not sure it may pass PSD section control (if you mean to submit this template as PSD template). Looks accurate and clean but not outstanding enough.
Another thing to think over is navigation. What if an user will need 5 or 7 items to place onto the menu? It will break the balance of the navigation block. I usually avoid such structure. But you decide, of course. Wish you good luck in further work!
Thanks virtuti for the help . Did not really think about if someone wanted to add additional links to the site. Ill take a further look at the PSD section regarding one page templates to get an idea of how its supposed to look.
Any chance it could be approved as a Wordpress or html template? Eventually I wanted to make it as a Wordpress and HTML template so I am just curious.
Im currently working on it and I only have the home and portfolio pages done (still working on the about page) so based on some more research Ill go back and add more pages. I just wanted to see if I was on the right path before I get to deep into the project.

It seems as if Grooveshark is proving too good to be true. Free streaming of over 6 million tracks without being interrupted by ads always felt as if you were doing something wrong.
Apple certainly felt this way when it pulled the Grooveshark app from its App Store last August and now it seems as if Google is looking on things the same way. Last weekend, the Grooveshark app was pulled from the Android Market without warning and it is not happy. "Google notified us on Saturday that it had removed our app from the Market,†Grooveshark's Ben Westermann-Clark told Wired.com, "but frankly, we're baffled by this. We're always compliant with DMCA regulations to make sure that we operate within the law and respect the wishes of content owners.â€
Grooveshark went on to issue an official statement which questions Google's apparent open ecosystem: "Unlike Apple's iPhone ecosystem, Android is an open platform, and Google is traditionally a supporter of DMCA-compliant services – indeed, Google itself relies on the DMCA for the very same protection that Grooveshark does.†It turns out that Google, just like Apple last year, has received a letter of complaint from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) but Grooveshark is still in the dark over what "in the developers' terms of service, exactly, we need to address to be readmitted to the marketplace.â€
While Google can certainly claim that compared to Apple, its Market is pretty open, we've recently seen a few issues surrounding this ecosystem. Last month we saw Google remove 21 apps from the store and remotely remove those apps from customers' mobile phones in a bid to eliminate malicious software. However, other, more cynical commentators have raised the point that this could be a move by Google to prepare the way for its own streaming service, which we got a glimpse of yesterday.
Are you a Grooveshark user who's been affected by this action? Let us know what you think in the comments.
