Why is Bill O'Reilly embarrassed to be called right-wing?
Blog ››› ››› ERIC BOEHLERT
In its Correction Box today the Washington Post writes:
A photo caption in the Oct. 22 Style section incorrectly referred to Bill O'Reilly as a "right-wing pundit." The Fox News host presents himself as an independent.
We assume that came via pushback from Fox News, which is notorious for hounding news outlets that suggest the channel has a conservative tilt.
Couple things are curious here. First, in the past, Fox News execs have stressed that while its primetime hosts might be opinionated and lean right, its overall news organization plays it straight. That's their argument. So why the rush to claim one of its most opinionated primetime hosts, O'Reilly, doesn't have a conservative tilt?
Second, stressing that O'Reilly "presents himself as an independent" is odd, not only for the obvious reason that he doesn't really. But it's strange because it's not like the Post identified him as a Republican and O'Reilly doesn't want to be associated with a particular party, which would be understandable. The Post identified him as a conservative, as "right-wing," and still O'Reilly objected.
When somebody like Bill O'Reilly doesn't even want to be associated with the conservative movement, you know it's in trouble. Who's next, Sean Hannity?

You don't hear of many attacks on edge infrastructure. Viruses, worms and Trojans get all the press. Although attacks at the network edge are more difficult for hackers, they are also the weakest point for many organizations.
When now-notorious intelligence contractor Edward Snowden leaked volumes of classified NSA data to The Guardian and The Washington Post, the public learned of a $652 million campaign code-named GENIE. In essence, GENIE is a cyber-offensive against foreign networks, seeking to plant malware into PCs, firewalls, routers, and other IT infrastructure with the goal of putting those resources under remote, surreptitious U.S. control.
One take-away from this tale might be that it takes half of a billion dollars, or more, to systematically attempt to enslave hostile countries' systems. A more practical spin might be this: The NSA can spend millions to subvert enemy networks. Can competitors or even casual hackers spend far less to subvert yours?
According to John Pescatore, director of emerging security trends at the SANS Institute, edge network infrastructure, such as firewalls and routers, are more difficult to hack into than PCs and servers. Such edge devices are often overlooked by those who design automated, "off-the-shelf" exploits, setting these devices above the skill level of most "script kiddies." But the payoff for learning how to hack edge infrastructure can be worthwhile. Instead of getting to hack one system, "owning" a router can give a hacker access to every system on the LAN. The question for the hacker then becomes: What now?
"The problem for the isolated, individual attacker is not necessarily finding the vulnerabilities themselves -- they are shared in the hacking community," says independent IT security market analyst and ex-Gartner MVP, Victor Wheatman.
"Rather, the problem for a solo bad actor is in sifting through the data, filtering it for the valuable stuff. There is analytical software used by enterprises to analyze security and other events, and there are programs that the likes of the NSA uses to parse the data, looking for interesting patterns. I suspect wily hackers are able to rent such programs on powerful underground utility programs running on multiple computers in order to gain that access and to massage the information in order to extract the desired data."
The information extracted from infrastructure streams could be anything from customer credit card data to proprietary marketing plans. Hackers might even learn how to exploit the corporation's network in order to launch a subsequent denial of service (DoS) attack.
In reality, attacks on edge infrastructure are far less frequent than more conventional attacks, such as email worms and Windows spyware Trojans. But it is their relative obscurity that can make edge attacks so appealing to experienced hackers. Given that they are underpublicized, organizations may be less aware of their vulnerability.
"When I was a contractor working with a small software company whose only client was the NSA, we learned a few things about how they operate," says Roger Kay, former IDC vice president and founder of Endpoint Technologies Associates. "One of the principles was the McArthur Principle (after General Doug), which says, 'Hit 'em where they ain't.' This is perfectly in line with the idea of hacking in at the weak point."

We've got a new "Think Again" column here called "Your Government: Access Denied." Read it and weep.

Hey Doc --
"Feel good music, I been told/Good for your body, good for your soul/Hey pocky way."
Weekly WWOZ Pick To Click -- "Handa Wanda," Wild Magnolias: This week, I neglected to arrange a Mardi Gras parade through downtown Tashkent, the theme of which would be how much I love New Orleans.
Short Takes:
Part The First: Thank you, Johan, for going to the correct borough in New York. Ian Kennedy better be 24-3, 2.11, 320 next season, or Brian Cashman's noggin will be adorning a guardrail on the Major Deegan. Meanwhile, Jacoby Ellsbury stays in center field for Your Defending World Champions. Nyuk, nyuk, nyuk.
Part The Second: Note to Craig Crawford. You've been on MSNBC more than bad economic news recently. Here's a tip, stud. Don't laugh heartily at your own jokes, especially when they're not, you know, funny. You look like some drone at the yacht club bar.
Part The Third: As a certified old MSM dead-tree guy, I've been gratified by my reception by the kidz here in Blogistan. One of the first ones I heard from was Dave Neiwert. I'm lucky enough to have a regular gig. If you like what I do here, send Dave some money there. It's hard, expensive work removing Jonah Goldberg's spleen.
Part The Last: The meme of the week is that John McCain is Not Conservative Enough. This escaped my notice. He cleverly disguised it by saying he was going to allow a theocratic loon like Sam Brownback to help him pick his judges. Heads are exploding all over the Movement these days.
It is fortunate indeed for Willamette Romney, the former governor of the Commonwealth (God save it!), that he was in a field that also featured Rudy! Giuliani's brilliant strategy of waiting until 2010 to win the 2008 election, and Fred Thompson's extended exercise in public narcolepsy. Otherwise, more people might have caught on earlier that Romney is perhaps the single biggest maladroit who ever became a serious national candidate for anything. Ed Muskie was more likable, Gerry Ford was better spoken, and Jimmy Carter was bigger laughs. The other night, St. John sat there and lied again, barefaced, about Romney's record on Iraq, thereby giving Willamette a chance to hit hard and fast at the most prized part of the Straight Talker's public image. I moved to the edge of my chair. It was Romney's "There you go again" moment. Ronald Reagan would have parked McCain so deep in the cheap seats that you'd have had to use the Hubble to find him. (Let us pause here to remind readers who may have joined our post in progress that these two men were arguing about which of them is the most dedicated to continuing a war that 70 percent of the American people have concluded is not worth it. We now return to our regularly scheduled post. Thank you.)
What did Romney do? He failed to be able to pronounce the THIRD FREAKING WORD -- "unequivocally" -- of his answer. He fumbled and foozled and talked in something that was a good two feet off of actual English and McCain kept giggling and lying and giggling some more and lying some more until, finally, even after the reporters kept tossing him a lifeline, Willamette lost the moment entirely. I watched him in Massachusetts -- first in a senatorial campaign against Ted Kennedy and then when he ran for governor. He was polished and professional and Not Insane, which are really the only requirements for a Republican here in the Commonwealth (God save it!) As a presidential candidate, he spent a flat year -- and millions of his own dollars -- truckling to people who'd never vote for him and saying the most preposterous things. He pulled the car over and wept when the Mormons finally decided that black folks didn't bear the Mark Of Cain, or Ham, or whatever Mark it was? His sons were defending America by pitching him at every bean supper in Iowa? His dark night of the soul when he decided to oppose stem-cell research because he was agonized over cloning? And, my personal favorite, that he was frustrated back in the day because he was on his Mormon mission in France rather than humping the boonies outside of Chu Lai. You'd have to have had the brain of a ficus to believe this stuff, but Willamette kept on pitching, looking like he was running for inclusion in the Hall of Presidents at Disney World. Of all the candidates victimized by having to appeal to the vaunted Republican "base," of all the passengers on the Crazy Train, Romney was the one who was most manifestly out of place. My lord, the man's a foof.

Conservatives are different from liberals, and not just in basic beliefs. There's the authoritarianism, of course, but there's something else scampering around their attics. Listen this week, for example, to Rush Limbaugh or one of his progeny, twenty minutes is more than adequate. Listen to the torrents of hatred and vitriol directed at McCain. Now, I'm no fan of the guy, but in what sense is he offensive to conservatives in respect to the war in Iraq and abortion? If anything, he's more conservative on these issues than he has to be. On other issues, he's brazenly flip-flopped, just like Romney, to be where he thinks he has to be. However, he has crossed the true believers just too many times, and they don't trust him. They demand and will accept only 100% of what they want. By contrast, I don't see that many Obama, Clinton, or Edwards backers who will stay home if their favorite loses and let McCain get elected and extend the war for 100 years, appoint more John Roberts to the Court, and expand domestic spying. Sure, some will, but in the end, even a majority of the McGovern supporters in 1968 held their noses and voted for Humphrey. Its part of living in the reality-based world.
But conservatives are different. They are black and white people, and they cannot be negotiated with. They have been and always will be with us, and a candidate who thinks you can reach out to them through inspirational rhetoric and arrive at a mutually-satisfactory outcome for the good of all is not being realistic.

Eric, Re: Hillary and Obama. No matter which one becomes the Democratic nominee for President, I would be very happy if the winner chooses John Edwards as their running mate. I concur with the journalists' position that Edwards presented himself with both grace and dignity, the platforms shared were well thought out and in step with the times we live in. Clinton\Edwards or Obama\Edwards, either would be a winning combination over whatever the Right Wing element comes up with. John Edwards presiding over a distinctly Democratic Senate, this would help lay the groundwork America needs so badly to put the Bush\Cheney years behind us and take us into these early years of the 21st century. This would imply that Bush\Cheney will allow the elected President to actually take office ... For more on the platforms and vision of John Edwards, see here.

It smacks of aristocracy. And I think we've done enough lately that smacks of aristocracy to last us for quite awhile, thank you."
He's not the first to make this argument, but what he's really saying is -- Hillary Clinton is not to be judged on her merits. She must be punished for the fact that George Bush was elected twice. The nation, it seems to me, has been punished for that fact already. Shall we now claim that a candidate's qualifications don't matter and add further insult to the injury?

"How can you care about poor people when you're so rich?"
It bears repeating that our political vocabulary about the poor has become almost more base and nasty than imaginable over the last quarter century. If the NYT were holding up its end of the bargain, someone there would have noticed this.
Ronald Reagan felt compelled to mouth words separating the shiftless, lazy welfare queens from the honest, hardworking poor. Whether this was grounded in reality (being on the dole during the Great Depression), or was part of a political calculation, it matters not: The image of caring for the worthy poor had to be maintained.
What's the post-millennial reality? It'd be hard to bring up a President who is more offhandedly cruel to so many people who can't do anything to him than GWB. But I don't have to. Even a couple years ago, during a long economic expansion, the attitude expressed towards the poor was clear: Poverty is your own damn fault. Only those who don't actually need government assistance are worthy of it.
John Edwards is to be congratulated for exerting force in the other direction.

"I've been to a hundred rock concerts, and while most were enjoyable, they mostly blend together and all I can recall are the awful concerts."
I get that Mr. Werner is trying to extol the virtues of classical music, and more power to him. This, however, is beyond absurd. He clearly either needs to start picking better concerts, or just stick to classical.
I went last week to see a band fronted by Don Dixon, who rose to regional fame as a performer, then became an acclaimed producer (REM, Marshall Crenshaw, many others). Along with 300 other lucky attendees in a middle sized club here in Raleigh, I saw a show of the highest quality, full of outstanding and passionate performances of tunes mostly taken from Dixon's excellent, critically acclaimed solo career. It was completely exhilarating, and I won't be forgetting that one, as I won't forget small venue performances from Fred Eaglesmith, Billy Joe Shaver, Stacey Earle or Chris Knight, and that's all recently out here in the hinterlands. I'm pretty sure I'm not going to forget seeing Solomon Burke and the Dixie Hummingbirds in Durham this weekend, either.
Mr. Werner needs to get out of the arenas and catch the real excellence and passion in music available in the best middle sized and small venues all over America. I'm sorry, but comparing that experience to arena rock or whatever other 'rock' experience he's describing is like putting a Bud Lite next to a fine microbrew.

Ranchi: Virat Kohli, considered by many as the next India captain, spoke to The Telegraph after the ODIs against Pakistan and before the ongoing series versus England.
The following are excerpts
Q How do you look back on 2012, a year of considerable highs for you and some lows... Also, as a team, we didn't do well...
A It was a dream year for me and I couldn't have asked for more... It was an important year, to establish myself in all formats, and I did well... Yes, the team saw lows, but it's not that the effort wasn't made. Everybody did try hard.
But why couldn't we get it right?
For much of the year, we were a team in transition, with not everybody being high on experience... It's not that we didn't win at all, we won in Sri Lanka, beat New Zealand at home... But, yes, we didn't have the momentum for a period of time.
Did you find yourself under too much pressure?
Things can change quickly in cricket... One day you're regarded as being out of form, two innings later you're in great form! I did feel the pressure of expectations in the last IPL, after my performances in Australia and during the Asia Cup in Dhaka... I guess I also put myself under plenty of pressure.
I got out of it on the July-August tour of Sri Lanka... Told myself that being stressed doesn't help and that the results would come as long as I kept working hard.
So, what did that phase teach you?
That nobody can be consistent all through the 12 months, that one needs to be patient... To allow four-five innings (of low scores) to pass. I also realised that I had far more responsibility towards the team, that people were looking up to me. I accepted that failures are going to be there and, if a country is used to winning, then defeats will come as a shock.
Did you feel the pressure more during the T20 Internationals and the ODIs against Pakistan?
You don't look at a series as being against team X or team Y... Your preparations are the same, for you've always got to give yourself the best chance. If the previous series hasn't been good, then you look to get better... Sulking won't get you anywhere.
Going back to 2012, what did you learn the most over the 12 months?
That it's important to be at one level emotionally... It's important to be stable as a person. A sense of insecurity could creep in, something not unnatural, but you've got to take things on the chin. It's important to have space for yourself, it's important to be positive in the mind. In fact, that's very important.
Did you grow both as a cricketer and as a person?
I did, yes... I became more confident, had more faith in my abilities... Responsibility teaches you things... You become more responsible when you see the opposition being wary of you.
The year also saw Team India getting much stick. Did that hurt you, as a regular member across the formats?
It's not a good feeling when there's criticism, but nobody has an issue with constructive criticism. Yes, as a team, we needed to step up... But I'd like to add that the dressing room remained calm. I'd like to treat it (last year) as a passing phase. For Indian cricket, 2013 is the year to move forward.
Are you in the habit of making new year resolutions?
(Laughs) Where's the time? Also, what if you make resolutions and can't fulfil them? It's not a resolution, but I'd be happy to improve on my 2012 performances. Indeed, a 10 per cent improvement would please me.
[Virat ended the year at No.2, behind Michael Clarke, among batsmen with the most runs across the three formats. He totalled 2,186 runs.]
Has life changed drastically?
It has changed, but I probably didn't realise it initially... Having said that, life could well change the other way if I don't perform... I'd rather it stays this way!
You're being tipped as the next India captain. Your thoughts?
Thinking of the captaincy would be a distraction... As I've told you, at this stage in my career, I can do without distractions. I'll be satisfied if I can meet the expectations of the team.
Are you getting impatient to replace Mahendra Singh Dhoni?
Oh, no way. My teammates and I respect him... He's groomed youngsters like me and, if the team has a bad year, how can you hold the captain alone responsible?
But you must have been delighted to hear Sunil Gavaskar declare that you're ready for the top job...
Sure... Coming from Mr Gavaskar, it did feel good... That one comment (after the final Test against England) lifted my confidence... Made me more aware of my responsibilities as well.
Is there something you've learnt from Dhoni, where captaincy goes?
I'd love to have MS' calmness and composure... I've never seen him stressed... He's been so composed even in the most difficult of situations. While remaining an aggressive cricketer, I'd still like to have his calmness. It's reassuring.
What goes into the making of an ideal captain?
I doubt if there's one person who could be called the ideal captain... Everyone has his ways, but it's important for a captain to create the right environment, to encourage the right atmosphere in the dressing room... Nurturing talent is an important part of any captain's job, encouraging those with potential... Of course, a captain must be stable (emotionally).
How best could one describe Virat Kohli?
Oops! The best way... Someone hungry for runs, perhaps.
Does your mother, Saroj, still treat you like a kid?
Absolutely... For her, I'm just Virat, her son... I love going home, to my mother and my Beagle (Bruno). My mother helps me stay grounded, while few things are better than being welcomed home by your pet.
Do you have strong likes and fierce dislikes?
Oh, yeah... I dislike people who put on an act, people who are fake... I don't like being in contact with people who want to meet you only for their own good... I have a close set of friends and am most comfortable being with them... For them, I'm their old friend, not the Virat who has achieved a few things.
I'm fond of cars, I'm a gaming freak... Then, I love Bruno.
But hasn't your celebrity status kept you away from doing a few things?
At times you do feel that you're missing some things, but a professional sportsman has to make sacrifices. At the end of the day, though, I'd rather be like this than in a position where I can just walk over to the nearest ice creamwallah every day!
You've quickly earned the label of the hottest ladies' man...
(Laughs) Don't think about such labels... People can call me what they want.
The final one... Sachin Tendulkar is through with ODIs... What's it like not having him in the dressing room?
We miss him... Initially, it was a kind of weird feeling... Sachin brought about calmness... One could talk to him and relax... He was there for you.

Tina Fey
Forced to pay a hefty sum to the state of New York, Tina Fey has been hit with a $79,000 judgment, filed by New York State officials, for operating without workers' compensation insurance.
The Workers' Compensation Board filed the claim against the comedian last week in State Supreme Court in Manhattan for "failure to Carry Workers' Comp Ins" from November 2012 until just last month.
Showing her respect for culture music, Tina Fey attended the Broadway premiere of "Aladdin" in New York City today (March 20).
Arriving in casual threads, the cute comedian sported a gray leather coat and black skinnies, smiling for a few snapshots before heading into the New Amsterdam Theatre.
Enjoying a little R & R down south, Katie Holmes and Tina Fey struck a few poses with iconic characters at Disney World on Sunday (March 16).
Smiling wide with Sweetums himself, Tina sported a blue and white striped tee with a pair of blue jeans, while the "Dawson's Creek" alum threw on a gray button down and a pair of Daisy Dukes to snap a quick pic with Minnie Mouse!
She is always one to be where the action is, and on Tuesday night (March 11) Tina Fey was on hand for the Hollywood premiere of "Muppets Most Wanted."
All dolled up in a dressy black and blue ensemble, the "30 Rock" charmer posed for some pictures and mingled with the Muppets themselves before heading inside the ELCapitan Theatre to grab her seat.
She's always up for something strange, and Tina Fey had a blast during her visit to "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Wednesday (March 5).
The "30 Rock" starlet began, "I know that you are interviewing me here and you're doing a pretty good job. But I would also like to interview me."
Joining her old pal Lorne Michaels as a producer, Tina Fey will also star in the upcoming movie, "The Taliban Shuffle."
Based on Kim Barker's 2012 memoir, the story follows the journalist as she acclimates to both Afghanistan and Pakistan and learns to do the "Taliban Shuffle" between them.
Keeping an eye on the hottest new trends, a smattering of famous females descended on the Carolina Herrera runway presentation at Mercedes-Benz New York Fashion Week Fall 2014 today (February 10).
The Theatre at Lincoln Center was glowing as Dita Von Teese, Tina Fey and Karlie Kloss all showed up to support Ms. Herrera and her much-anticipated fall lineup.
Stepping out to promote "The Monuments Men," Matt Damon showed up at The Ed Sullivan Theatre for "The Late Show with David Letterman" on Wednesday (February 5).
The "Good Will Hunting" hunk signed autographs and posed for pictures before heading inside to chat about his good friend George Clooney.
Never one to miss out on an industry event, Tina Fey got all gussied up and headed over to the Shrine Exposition Center in Los Angeles for the 20th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards earlier tonight (January 18).
Posing with her adorable daughter Alice, the "30 Rock" starlet smiled for the cameras and mingled with fellow famous folks before strolling inside to find her seat.
Taking the celebration into the wee hours, NBC hosted a fabulous post-Golden Globes shindig at the Beverly Hilton Hotel last night (January 12).
Big winners including Amy Poehler, Jared Leto and Matthew McConaughey proudly displayed their hard-earned hardware for the paparazzi as they arrived.

Vault: ConTornTion
Choreographer/dancer Amy Ell has been defying gravity for more than 20 years. Often using aerial silks, bungees, counterweights and harnesses, shes created dances that are as much about flying through the air as moving across a stage.
The newly completed Torn is part of todays performance Vault: Con Torn Tion, a two-part semi-autobiographical program thats among Ells most personal works. In Torn, dancers soar through the air and then back down to earth again, symbolizing the different ways people move through life, responding to undetected forces that push, pull and sometimes stop them.
The evenings other work, Continuum, is a reworking of a 2004 piece that examines domestic violence. A male dancer mistreats his female partner by slinging her across the stage, then grabbing her tight again, an action he repeats over and over. With them is a small child, who innocently circles the violent couple on her tricycle. Eventually, the man attacks the child as well, with the woman echoing his actions. Later, the couple walks away, leaving the child alone onstage as thousands of marbles are strewn across the floor in front of her, sweeping across the stage in a flood of emotion. Dont expect Vault: Con Torn Tion to be especially easy to watch, but do expect it to be powerful. 8 p.m. Thursday, Friday and Saturday. DiverseWorks, 1117 East Freeway. For information, call 713-223-8346 or visit www.diverseworks.org. $20 to $40.

We'll help you find the right solution for your needs
Does this sound like your topic?

I highly recommend Marc Jacob! I had a commercial real estate dispute and Marc successfully negotiated with the landlord on my behalf, and achieved a very favorable outcome! Also, he always responded immediately to emails and texts! It was a pleasure dealing with him!
Posted by Eric
Marc Jacob of the Jacob Law Firm, LLC has been my real estate and business
attorney for over a year and a half now, and I have had many attorneys over
the years. Since becoming involved with my business, he has guided me to
avoid potentially disastrous deals, helped review and simultaneously pursue
multiple potential real estate financing arrangements, and has both
confidently and competently negotiated with much larger law firms and bank
executives. After a long, arduous negotiations process, he was also able to
close a very complicated, time sensitive and contentious deal remotely,
while out of the state on vacation! He works effectively with me, my staff
and with all the various professionals who were key elements to finally
getting a critical deal done. I look forward to continuing to work with
Marc Jacob and his associates at the Jacob Law Firm on other future business
and personal matters. He has proven himself capable, honest and loyal. I
consider him a trusted advisor and a friend.
Posted by Jonathan
Marc has been a huge asset to my business. From our initial consultation it was clear Marc was the type of attorney I needed - someone who knew the real estate business inside and out, and able to add value in every aspect. From establishing entities to transactional work to litigation, Marc has always been patient, accessible, insight and clear. I feel very fortunate to have found him and recommend him without hesitation.

Former Michigan women's cross country and track athlete Lindsey Gallo (2000-05) ranks among the top distance runners in program history, earning six All-America honors and six Big Ten individual titles. She anchored the Wolverines' distance medley relay team to the title at the 2005 NCAA Indoor Championships, just weeks after winning the mile, 3,000- and 5,000-meter runs at the conference indoor meet en route to the Big Ten Indoor Athlete of the Year, Athlete of the Championship and USTCA Regional Athlete of the Year awards.
During her tenure, the Wolverines' captured eight Big Ten team titles -- two in cross country, three in indoor track and three in outdoor track -- and completed the triple crown in 2002 and 2003. Michigan also claimed fourth place at the 2003 NCAA Cross Country Championships -- her senior season.
Gallo also excelled in the classroom, twice garnering Academic All-America honors while earning a bachelor's in business administration and a master's degree in accounting. She was selected as Michigan's 2005 female recipient of the Big Ten Medal of Honor. After running professionally in the Washington D.C. area, Gallo earned her PhD in accounting from the University of Maryland in 2014 and returned to Ann Arbor, with her fiancé and fellow Michigan graduate Matt Carpenter, as an assistant professor within the Ross School of Business this summer.
Q. What was your process to earn your PhD?
A. The first couple of years is all coursework, so you're in the classroom. Then you start working on your dissertation, which is third year going into fourth. The title of my dissertation is "The More We Know about Fundamentals, the Less We Agree on Price: Evidence from Earnings Announcements." It looked at how investors disagree about earnings and price around earnings announcements, and what induces that type of disagreement. A lot of the fifth year is spent on the job market. I interviewed at 10 schools, got eight job offers, and luckily Michigan was one of them. I defended my dissertation in May.
Q. What drew you to accounting?
A. I concentrated in accounting in the B.B.A. program here, and then I used my fifth year of eligibility to get my Master's of accounting. I was just really interested in it when I was in school here. I ended up running professionally when I graduated, knowing that I wanted to go back to school eventually. I had been interested in getting a PhD. Accounting was a good fit. One of my professors from Michigan was at Maryland, and I emailed him because I was living and training in the D.C. area. I asked him about the PhD program and it went from there.
Q. What is it about Michigan and Ann Arbor that pulls you back here?
A. For me, I have such fond memories of my time as a student-athlete here. I had the most fantastic time -- in the classroom, on the track. I loved wearing the Maize and Blue and representing Michigan. I remained a huge Michigan fan in D.C., went to the Final Four a couple years ago and stayed involved and caught up with the athletic department. Ann Arbor is not only a great college town, it's a great city and a great place to raise a family and have all the resources that the university provides.
Q. While you were at Michigan, you were obviously extensively involved on the athletic side. Are you excited to experience more behind the scenes on the academic side?
A. The Ross School of Business is phenomenal, and the scholars here are incredible. You don't necessarily appreciate that when you're an undergrad student -- the type of research being done here and the resources available to you as a faculty member. The university has such a great support system for its faculty, which is not surprising since they have a great support system for its students and athletes. That extends across the university. I think it will be a lot of fun. Having been a student here, I know what they're going through. It gives me unique perspective. I'm excited to be on the other side of it and hopefully my experience as a student here will make me a more effective educator.
Q. What are you teaching this semester? Are you at all nervous about it?
A. I'm teaching two sections of Accounting 300, which is the introduction to the financial accounting course for the B.B.A. program. So, it will be sophomores. I'm excited, maybe a little nervous. I taught at Maryland while I was getting my PhD. The students here are really fantastic. So, it will be demanding but in a good way. I'm excited to meet my students and get started.
Q. How much are you running?
A. Much less than I used to. I was joking with one of my former teammates that something must have happened to the tectonic plates in Michigan, because all the runs are taking me longer than they used to and they're harder. So, I don't know if the elevation has changed or what's going on. It's been a lot of fun to revisit the old routes I used to do. I'm definitely running more here than I had been in graduate school. So, hopefully I'll start running some more but not nearly as much. I'm not in as good of shape; that seems to go away rather quickly.
Q. Is this a good running town?
A. I think it's a great running town. You don't realize when you're just walking around campus that there are so many paths to run on. Washtenaw County has done a good job preserving the green space and places to run. Running along the river is beautiful, Gallup Park, the Arboretum, there are plenty of dirt roads -- there are so many great places. I think it's a fantastic place to run, and it doesn't surprise me how many runners end up staying when they become professional athletes. It's a great place to train.
Q. Mike McGuire is obviously quite excited to have you back in the Ann Arbor area. Are you looking forward to having an opportunity to be around the team and watch them compete?
A. I'm so glad that Mike is still here. He is such an amazing coach and puts together a fantastic group of women every year. They get better and better. I'm really looking forward to going to competitions, cheering for the team and stopping by the track. I stopped by the other day, and the freshmen were getting ready to leave for camp. That was fun. I was in that place 14 years ago. I still have the school record in the 1,500, but I know it's not long for this world and it'd be great to see it broken. That was a big pull for me -- to come back here and have an opportunity to support and be around this program.
The recently created Office of Alumni Engagement strives to foster a community, recognize the holistic student-athlete and honor the great Michigan Athletics history. This alumni spotlight illustrates the impact that our alumni are having around the world and how they stay engaged with Michigan.

This is a discussion on What does "blading" mean? within the Defensive Carry & Tactical Training forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by Guantes Randy, To sprawl from a bladed stance, to meet a tackling attempt, is no more difficult than from a square stance. ...
I DO agree with the second.
The problem is we are having an open discussion on the web that anyone can see. That means people with no experience, and no ability to critically sift through what is said and apply it correctly in context could be reading what we say and adopting it. There is a tendency for people to look for bumper sticker sized answers as solutions to solve complex problems. That is just not realistic. So I jumped in to mention that while blading is useful in a certain context it is a handicap in others.

The Novello Theatre, Aldwych, London, W.C.2
Formerly - The Waldorf Theatre / Strand Theatre / Whitney Theatre
Above - The Novello Theatre during the run of Mamma Mia in June 2016, and after the Theatre's exterior had been renovated
The Novello Theatre has had many changes of name over the years. Designed by the well known Theatre Architect W. G. R. Sprague it originally opened in 1905 as the Waldorf Theatre. But the Theatre has also been known variously as the Whitney Theatre, the Strand Theatre (twice), and in 2005, it was renamed the Novello Theatre. All these various incarnations are detailed below in chronological order.
The Waldorf Theatre
Above - The New Waldorf Theatre, London- From 'The Theatre Magazine', July 1905 - Caption Reads:- 'This splendid playhouse, conceded to be one of the most luxuriantly appointed in the world, was erected in the British metropolis by American enterprise. It was opened recently under the direction of the Messrs. Shubert, with a season of Italian opera alternated by the appearance of Eleonora Duse in her various roles
The Waldorf Theatre was built by S. and J. Waring for a group of business men called the Waldorf Theatre Syndicate Ltd., and then leased to the Shubert Brothers, although Sam Shubert died in a train accident in May 1905, so it was his brother Lee Shubert who took over the running of the Theatre when it was finished later that month.
Right - The Waldorf Theatre - From a period postcard.
The Theatre opened as the Waldorf Theatre on the 22nd May 1905 with an Opera by Ferdinand Paer, 'Il Maestro di Capella,' which was part of the opening season of plays and operas presented by Eleanora Duse.
Left - A programme for 'Lights Out' at the Waldorf Theatre in October 1905, one of the first plays to be produced at the Waldorf in its opening year.
The Theatre was built as part of the Aldwych reconstruction which began at the turn of the Twentieth Century. Four theatres were demolished when London's Aldwych, named after the Old Wych Street, was constructed.
This vast operation began in the last years of the nineteenth century and was not finally completed until after the First World War. The Olympic Theatre in Wych Street and the Opera Comique in the Strand were closed in 1899, the Globe Theatre in Newcastle Street shut its doors in 1902. This was followed by the closure of the Gaiety Theatre in the Strand in June of the same year.
Above - A detail from a programme for 'Lights Out' at the Waldorf Theatre in October 1905, one of the first plays to be produced at the Waldorf in its opening year.
Above - The Waldorf Theatre, Aldwych - From an early postcard
The Waldorf Theatre was constructed at the bottom corner of Catherine Street - the top end of which houses the fourth and present Theatre Royal Drury Lane which has been open since 1812. The Waldorf Theatre was part of a vast new building consisting of the Waldorf Theatre itself, the new Waldorf Hotel in the center, and at the far end, the Aldwych Theatre. Both Theatres were designed by the well known Theatre Architect W. G. R. Sprague and given identical exteriors.
Above - Early postcard showing the Waldorf Theatre, the Waldorf Hotel, and the Aldwych Theatre, far right.
Just prior to the Theatre's opening the ERA printed a description of the new Waldorf Theatre in it's 20th May 1905 edition saying:- 'The decorative scheme of the interior is in the Louis XIV style. The walls of the crush room and main staircase are adorned with alternate stripes of dove coloured and violet marble, and the balustrade of the staircase is a wrought iron copy of one of Baron's famous designs.
Right - A Period postcard with map showing the Waldorf Hotel, and the Waldorf , Aldwych and Gaiety Theatres.
On the first tier level is the refreshment saloon, decorated in cream and gold. In the auditorium the colour scheme is Rose du Barri, relieved by richly gilt circle fronts, and by a touch of green in the French tapestries upholstering the stalls and dress circle; a qualifying note being struck in the brown French walnut of the seat frames.
Left - The auditorium of the Waldorf Theatre in 1905.
One of the notable features is a magnificent circular ceiling in modelled plaster with finely gilt centre piece and outer border, and a boldly treated picture sweeping round the two, painted after the style of Le Brun.
The bas relievo modelling of the tympanum which surmounts the proscenium represents Apollo in his chariot drawn by four spirited horses, and attended by goddesses and cupids. The action is full of vigour, combined with delicacy of touch.

A deep cornice in Louis XIV style runs round the theatre, and over the proscenium opening and boxes. The proscenium opening and the dress and upper circle are supported by pilasters of Fleur de peche marble with gilt capitals; and between the smaller pilasters on the dress circle and stalls level lofty mirrors reach to the cornice. The prevailing tone of Rose du Barri is continued in a deep velvet pile carpet of the same colour.'
The above text in quotes was first published in the ERA, 20th May 1905.

Opposite the Waldorf Theatre, on Catherine Street is the 'unique site' which because of an Ancient Lights ruling remained vacant until 1925 when the Duchess Theatre was built on part of it. On the horizon, behind the Aldwych Theatre may be glimpsed some of the roof of Drury Lane Theatre. Bedford Lemere took the photograph from the rear of the site now occupied by India House. To his right would have been the sites of two recently demolished theatres, The Globe (1868 - 1902) and the Opera Comique (1870 - 1899). Text and image from 'Theatrephile' Volume 2 No.6 Spring 1985.
When the Avenue Theatre, now the Playhouse, was partly destroyed by the collapse of part of Charring Cross Station in 1905, its then owner Cyril Maude, moved to the Waldorf Theatre and opened a season of productions there from January 1906 until his own Theatre could be rebuilt. Maude put on 'The Superior Miss Pellender', a revival of 'She Stoops to Conquer', 'The Heir at Law', 'The Second in Command', and 'Shore Acres' at the Waldorf.

The Strand Theatre / Whitney Theatre
Above - A photograph showing the Strand Theatre, Waldorf Hotel, and Aldwych Theatre - From the book 'Things seen in London' published in 1920.
The Waldorf Theatre had a change of name in October 1909 when it was taken over by J. A. Harrison and became the Strand Theatre, but this was only temporary as in 1911 it was changed again, this time to the Whitney Theatre when it was bought by the American Manager F. C. Whitney.
However, Whitney was not successful in this venture and the name reverted back to the Strand Theatre again in 1913 when Louis Meyer took up the reigns, and this name would remain until 2005.
Above Left - Bomb damage to the Strand Theatre on the 13th October, 1915 - From a 1950s Nostalgia Postcard. And Right - The same side elevation of the Strand Theatre on Catherine Street in 2005.
The Strand Theatre suffered some bomb damage during the first world war and an image and brief details of this are shown above. The rear of the card shown above left reads: 'Damage was inflicted on the Strand Theatre in London when two bombs were dropped on Aldwych by the Zeppelin L15. Another bomb from the same airship fell in front of the Lyceum Theatre. The Zeppelins were a sinister new development in aerial warfare. Their engines made 'a weird and peculiar burr' which became all too familiar. Bombing raids using aircraft followed in 1917.'
Above - An early Seating Plan for the Strand Theatre, probably 1920s.
The Theatre was redecorated and partly reconstructed in 1930 and the Dress Circle rear boxes which can be seen in the Seating Plan above were removed. Below are some 1930s / 40s Programmes for the Strand Theatre.
Above - 1936 Programme for 'Aren't Men Beasts!' at the Strand Theatre staring John Mills whose picture, from the programme, is also shown above. John Mills died in 2005.

Renaming of the Theatre to the Novello in 2005

In the summer of 2005, marking the Theatre's 100th anniversary, the Delfont Mackintosh group, who had recently refurbished the Prince of Wales Theatre, began a major refurbishment of the Strand Theatre. This was completed in December 2005 when the Theatre was renamed again, this time to the Novello Theatre in recognition of Ivor Novello who had lived in a flat over the Theatre for 38 years, between 1913 and 1951. Novello wrote many of his most memorable musicals in the Theatre during this period.
Right - A note from, and signed, by Ivor Novello to someone who had written to him about his performance in 'Kings Rhapsody' at the Palace Theatre which opened on the 15th of September 1949. The note is addressed from the Aldwych in London where Ivor Novello lived in a flat above the Strand Theatre. The note reads 'Thank you so much for your thought of me on the first night of 'Kings Rhapsody - It really was my most exciting night in the Theatre and we're all very happy - Yours Ivor Novello.' - Note kindly sent in by Tony Craig.
'Kings Rhapsody' was written by, and starred, Ivor Novello in the leading role along with Phyllis Dare. The show opened at the Palace Theatre on the 15th of September 1949 and ran for 841 performances, outlasting Novello himself, who died on the 6th of March 1951.
A visitor to the site, Adam Harrison, writes: 'Ivor Novellos flat was Flat 4, The Aldwych which was above the Strand Theatre, now the Novello Theatre, and there is now a Blue Plaque beside the door to the four flats, built one above the other, at the Novello Theatre..
Right - The Blue Plaque Dedicated to Ivor Novello at the Novello Theatre - Courtesy Charles Jenkins.
...Duncan C. Weldon and Triumph Theatre Productions used to be based in that flat which I knew well. The bedroom faced sideways to the Duchess Theatre and by then was sadly just an office. The big Music Room was Duncans Office. It was the big bay above the neon for the old Strand. Flat 3 was not so big and was used by Paul Elliot and the other two flats were very small and did not go over the theatre due to the Dress and Upper Circle Bars on the corner of the site...
Left - The Stage Door of the Strand Theatre on Tavistock Street during renovations and conversion to the Novello Theatre in 2005. - Photo ML.
...The top two flats went around the corner of the bay and had smashing curved rooms with views out. Not sure who is in the top three flats now, but the small first floor one just above a shop, has been opened out off the Dress Circle Bar and is now the Theatre Manager's Office.' - Adam Harrison, Frank Matcham Society.
Right - In Search Of Ruritania by David Slattery is an honest and affectionate journey into the life, work and world of the late Ivor Novello. Click to buy the book at Amazon.co.uk.
On the 6th of September 2012 the Novello Theatre became the new home for the hit musical Mamma Mia when it transferred from the Prince of Wales Theatre.

text: I have been on this website for some time now. I had no need or want of a 1911. After reading all the threads on here and then shooting a couple of them I WANT ONE SO BAD! The reason for the shame is mostly because I am hooked now and don't know what to get. I think I am leaning towards the 38 super round possibly in a duo tone but not sure what to look for what kind to get what a good price would be ect. I know that I will always be a Glock fan but my mouth waters every time I see a 1911. With that I want one even more.

"Card turned out beautiful. Image quality of the picture we used in the back was perfect. Cards arrived within a few days of ordering."
"Love how these postcards turned out. Sending postcards with our new address and a quick message to our friends and family was nice. The best part: no envelopes!"
"Ordered 100 of these moving announcements in the navy color. We love them!! They are beautiful and elegant looking, unlike other moving announcements that I looked at. It is a postcard which we like. Highly recommend these."
"The cards were excellent and artistically appealing. It was a quick way to notify a lot of people and saved us a lot of time."
"This was my first time using Tiny Prints, (I have used other companies for holiday cards and wedding invitations) but Tiny Prints had the cutest design in the WE HAVE MOVED category by FAR! Picture software was easy to use, decent, fewer options then some other companies but robust enough to have some fun with the design. Prints arrived on time, paper quality good. The photo was good, a little muddy perhaps but that may have been my photo (I decided to go black and white so maybe that's why it looks a little muddy). I am very happy with this purchase and will check out Tiny Prints for my annual holiday card too!"

I am in tears right now.. tears and smiles!! I love reading stories like this.. you are right.. your precious baby will have her own special story of how you learned you were expecting!!ReplyDelete
Many prayers to you and hubby as you wait. Waiting is so hard! Stay busy and stay positive. Worrying doesn't change the outcome.
I recently told friends how strangely grateful I was for ICPC waits. It's your special time to be alone as a family of three w/o any visitors or family. I will forever love our ICPC memories (out of three babies.. only one had a real ICPC wait- first was in state, second was in my parents state so ICPC happened at their home, and with our recent baby boy, we were in TX in the middle of the heat wave but loved our quiet family time.)
God bless all five of you! xoxo Jill in CAReplies
Thank you so much, Jill! I will remember to appreciate the ICPC wait, however long it is! And do my best to calm the worrying beforehand. ;)Delete
Eeeeek! I love this, and those pictures! Love love love love love! So excited for you!ReplyDeleteReplies
Thank you!!! We are a little nervous, but SO excited!!! :) She's due one month from today!!Delete

Faces of Conservation
Poplar Thicket Dedication
Roger Jones and Austin Okie at the Poplar Thicket Dedication.
Austin Okie could have sold his prime real estate, or waited to pass it on later in life or as part of a will. However the rapid pace of development and a growing population in his corner of eastern Sussex County led him to act sooner rather than later. His idea was simple; he wanted to preserve a cherished spot from his childhood that had been in the family since 1918.
In the fall of 2008, The Nature Conservancy and Austin Okie participated in a ceremony marking the transfer of his 118-acre property to the state of Delaware, establishing it as the Marian R. Okie Memorial Wildlife Preserve at Poplar Thicket. The transfer came after the Conservancy assisted Okie with securing key protections for the property to ensure it could be enjoyed by Delaware residents and visitors long into the future. The preserve will be restored as one of the state's remaining sensitive inland bays and opened to the public for environmental education and as a refuge for birds, as Okie hoped.
Poplar Thicket adds to a conservation legacy established by Okie and his family more than a decade ago, when they placed a conservation easement on their 154-acre farm located on the Indian River. Prior to that, they provided financing for the Conservancy's acquisition of more than 400 acres located adjacent to their property. Today, these lands and waters comprise the Bullseye-Ferry Landing Preserve, a spot representing the Delaware chapter's first conservation easement agreement.
"The farm and the surrounding lands and waters comprise the Bullseye-Ferry Landing Preserve," comments Andy Manus, director of conservation for the Delaware chapter. "It represents the Delaware chapter's first conservation easement agreement, paving the way for using this creative conservation tool to protect more of the state's wetlands, forests and coastal areas."
Austin Okie attributes his concern and love for nature to the simple fact that he grew up working and playing outdoors. "As a boy, I was outside all the time, working on the farm — that was just the way it was," he says.
His time spent outdoors cultivated a particular interest in birds and trees. A self-taught naturalist, he can identify local vegetation, and the many birds that live and migrate through his corner of Delaware. He calls the natural places around him a "bird paradise."
"I want to preserve the history, wildlife and environment of this area in the midst of growing development pressures and increasing populations," shares Okie. "I've seen that The Nature Conservancy has done good things to protect land."

Photofabrication Engineering Inc.
Enabling New Technologies through Metal Etching Applications
PHOTOFABRICATION ENGINEERING, INC. (PEI), Milford, MA, (January 12, 2009) is offering a line of custom-made, photochemically etched anodes and cathodes for fuel cells, heat exchangers, and oxygen and hydrogen generators. These products have broad applications in the aerospace, automotive, biotechnology, medical, appliance, power, and electrical/electronic industries. Of most significance is the fact that PEI, using a proprietary process, can photoetch pure titanium, titanium alloys, zirconium, and zirconium alloys along with more standard materials such as aluminum, stainless steel, copper and brass. PEI's unique ability to photoetch lightweight parts from exotic materials in production quantities allows manufacturers to meet high-volume, low-cost manufacturing goals, accelerating the commercial viability of fuel cells, heat exchangers, and oxygen and hydrogen generators.
Parts may be etched in thicknesses from 0.0005 in. (0.0127 mm) to 0.090 in. (2.286 mm). The photoetching process creates parts that are exceptionally smooth and free of the burrs and stresses associated with other manufacturing processes. Because of the broad range of materials we can etch, PEI can produce anodes and cathodes that are extremely resistant to corrosion and high heat, and that can be friction-bonded, brazed, or welded.

This weekend, many of my friends and I will be decamping to either Las Vegas or Los Angeles to see Kanye West perform on his Yeezus tour. It's the rapper's solo tour in five years and comes on the heels of possibly his best and certainly darkest album, Yeezus, so understandably the announcement of the tour was met with fevered anticipation. Most everyone I know bought tickets for the closest shows as soon as possible, disappointed at the lack of an Arizona concert but more concerned with the goal of seeing Kanye some way, somehow. We've been waiting for this week for a while, but something funny happened that we suspected wouldn't.
Mr. West booked a show with opener Kendrick Lamar at the US Airways Center in the heart of downtown Phoenix.
Although apparently some insiders knew well in advance that an Arizona show was planned, it is sad for us, the lowlife commoners who wanted so badly to bask in Yeezus's glory from the comfort and convenience of our own state. Without a tip-off, we're now stuck to our commuting commitments and transportation costs—after investing somewhere between $50 and $200 each on a ticket, we're sticking to our Plan A.
I joked to a friend that Arizona "finished last," but he reminded me to remember that, all the same, Arizona "does tend to finish!" I'm glad Mr. West will be making an appearance in the Grand Canyon state, so that my friends who didn't buy first-round tickets will still have a chance to see him—not to mention get to chide us with some healthy I-told-you-so-ism.
But I also ask: Why is Arizona the forgotten, red-headed step-child state for some major performers? Perhaps some damage lingers from Zach de la Rocha's anti-SB 1070 Sound Strike in 2010, a coalition of musicians who refused to perform in Arizona that included Mr. West in its numbers.
While it's too late for those of us shipping off to Vegas tomorrow, the rest of you can enter to win tickets through Phoenix New Times, Zia Records, and KISS FM (and maybe some others I didn't find). Or you can, you know, buy tickets.

Pet of the Week: Friday has friendly energy
Friday, a Jack Russell mix, only came to the Guiterrez family six weeks ago but they've gotten to know her well. "She's got the same energy as our six year old son, Ole," said Gary Guiterrez. Friday is approximately 3 years old herself.
They got Friday from a shelter in Friday Harbor (hence her name) after she had come from Yakima and brought her home.
They feed her dry food.
Friday has already formed some canine friendships with Bunny, Rudy and Lulu, some neighborhood dogs.
But both Gary and his wife Heather noted that Friday's natural playfulness and energy are good for their family. "She just loves to play with the boys," Heather said, referring to both Ole, 6 and son Leo, 10.
"She's normally pretty mellow but like most dogs will pay attention when somebody's at the door," said Gary.
They take Friday out for walks and she gets a lot of attention.
Friday is not a ball chaser per se, but does enjoy her squeaky toys.
She's really sweet. She's very patient with the boys and really gentle with them. She's really grown on us and everybody takes to her because she's just a sweetheart and really good with people."

/// Comcast's Brian Roberts Plays Down NBC Woes
Only two days into full ownership of NBCUniversal, Comcast NBCU CEO Brian Roberts knows better than to step into the middle of the feud between Jay Leno and the network. "I think Jay Leno is fantastic," he said, responding to a question from David Rubenstein, CEO of the Carlyle Group and chairman of the Economic Club during a sit-down interview in Washington. "There's a lot of people issues and you keep that stuff confidential." Leno has taken several pot shots at Comcast on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, which wins in its time period. But NBCU is also preparing for Jimmy Fallon to take over from Leno, according to several reports. Deft at deflecting questions, Roberts also declined to respond to whether it was more complicated to deal with Washington regulators or creative types in Hollywood. Welcome to network TV mogul-dom, Brian Roberts. During the nearly hour-long interview, Roberts spent more than half the time answering questions about the history of Comcast, his personal career, and Comcast's cable and Internet businesses, which he knew well. He even came prepared with a demo of Comcast's new X1 cloud-based on-demand service and interactive guide.

Contextual Personal Data: Mobile Changes Another Landscape
Posted by Michael Facemire on May 22, 2012
Mobile computing and the apps that run on our smartphones and tablets are changing our lives every day. This goes without saying. What excites me is the pace at which this continues and the fact that we're just starting to scratch the surface of what's to come. For application development and delivery professionals, the challenge is how to remain relevant and compelling in this ever-changing landscape. An area that will immediately provide game-changing value-add is what I term Contextual Personal Data (CPD).
What Is Contextual Personal Data?
To level-set, we are all familiar with personal data. This is the information that drives advertising and marketing today, such as email/calendar/contacts, browsing and online purchase history, and everything that you divulge to social networks and allow them to harvest. CPD is the next evolution of this, enabled by mobile computing. Smartphones, tablets, and other mobile devices can now generate a new meta layer of information about an individual that is far more valuable because it is contextually relevant and dynamic. This is data such as "what time do I generally leave the house for work?" and "when I have coffee on the way to work, how much more productive am I that morning?" The next generation of compelling and successful mobile apps driven by CPD will interact with my life without requiring me to interact with them directly. This is the new landscape of contextual mobile computing.
Next Generation Success Stories
The mobile landscape will soon be littered with success stories around context-driven mobile apps that make use of Contextual Personal Data. The following is a scenario that I predict is extremely close to reality but would have sounded like a Star Trek episode very recently: when I get into the car, I turn on the satellite radio to content that is relevant to me. This relevance is defined by past listening habits, inspection of my personal data sources (email/calendar/shopping habits/etc.), and inferences from my CPD sources (I historically get in the car at 7 a.m. to go to work, but today it's 7:15, so easy listening music is out and 80's hair bands are a better option). Once it has been determined that the content that is being suggested is accurate (a period of time in which I don't immediately change the channel) that personal data is now highly valuable. Advertisers are the obvious consumers of this data, but I'm sure radio content creators would crave access to it as well.
Let's continue with the above scenario. I've started my car, and the appropriate content is selected for me. I should *immediately* get an alert on my heads-up display telling me that the Mass Pike is a parking lot (due to my late departure time) and that the GPS on my phone is now showing me the better route. While on this route, an application such as Placeme determines that I usually stop at Starbucks on the way in but now will not be going that way, so *behind the scenes* it works with my GPS provider to route me to a coffee shop along the new route. This is CPD at its best. The obvious value-add here is that advertisers can now pay to have their retail offering used in these scenarios (similar to Google Adwords with search). Finally, my phone, through sensory data achieved by its placement in my pocket, can determine that my anxiety level is a bit high. It automatically uses this data to propose a schedule change to the first appointment on my calendar which is with a client that I've recently exchanged terse emails with. The mapping of high anxiety and a potential hostile client would not be beneficial to me nor my employer, so I gladly accept the time change and the day starts on a much better note. All of these alterations to my day-to-day life, whether accepted or rejected, provide inputs into the CPD engine that drive the higher-order computing meta layer that allows mobile computing to better our daily lives.
What are your thoughts on the new Contextual Personal Data and its usage in future apps? Drop me a line, and let's discuss!
Excellent Concept
Comment from Arjun Kalidas on Thu, 06/28/2012 - 02:17
But in the modern era of fast growing computing innovations, human beings tend to become more and more passive. Although all these technologies add to more comfort and bring you the world at your fingertips(particularly your personal life - with reference to the CPD) the ability of humans to keep track of things is being lost. Man doesn't have to use his memory at all. Brain is becoming just another vestigial organ. What do you think?

The Granddad Fund
by George Stateham (firstname.lastname@example.com)
I became a Fool relatively late in life, so I missed the chance to educate my children in Fooldom. I want to start my grandchildren on the Foolish path, but I am struggling with how to do it. I want to get them interested in how stocks work, so I think ownership in individual stocks will be better than an index fund or a SPDR. I also want to start by giving them individual shares. But I am not going to plunk $5,000 into an account for each of them. I want the stock to be of interest to them. I don't think stock in an industrial company like Du Pont is going to be very interesting to a pre-teen.
I finally decided to form Granddad's Investment Fund. I bought stock in Gap Inc. (NYSE: GPS), created some official-looking stock certificates, drew up a set of goals and rules for the fund, and awarded some of my shares to them. The certificates have all the goals and rules printed on the back so they get used to looking for the fine print. Of the companies with good growth I could choose from, I picked Gap because the kids seem to like their commercials and one granddaughter loves Old Navy clothes.
Accounting for all this is going to be a bit of a chore at first. However, as I award more stocks, and their part of the fund grows, their share will eventually be enough to open a custodial account in their name.
The following are the goals and rules of the Fund. (You will note I plagiarized a little from The Motley Fool.)
Goals of the Fund
The Fund is established April 12, 1999 with the following goals:
- To teach the grandkids about the value of saving and investing.
- To teach the grandkids about the stock market and other methods of investing.
- To enrich the grandkids mentally and monetarily.
Granddad is the Fund Manager.
- The Fund Manager is the final authority in all decisions related to the Fund. All such decisions will be made with the goals of the Fund and interests of the grandkids in mind. The Fund Manager will decide when and what stocks are awarded to grandkids.
- The Fund Manager will pay commissions on stock purchases in the Fund so the grandkids have no transaction costs.
- Stocks in the Fund will be normally held in the Fund Manager's brokerage account.
- The Fund Manager will issue to the grandkids, certificates representing their holdings in the Fund. These will be for a specific number of shares in specific companies, not shares in the Fund in general. The intent is for the grandkids to own shares in publicly traded companies without the cost of setting up separate accounts or issuing individual stock certificates.
- The Fund Manager will consider as an investment, any stock recommended by any grandkid, but as stated above, holds the final decision on what stock(s) are purchased by the Fund.
- If a grandkid wants to invest some of his or her money in a stock through the Fund, The Fund Manager will put the money in the Fund and account for it. The stock purchased must be one the Fund Manager is willing to hold in his portfolio. This is to allow buying enough shares to keep the cost of commissions from becoming a burden.
- The Fund Manager may from time to time trade the stocks. For example, he may sell Gap and buy something else. The grandchild will receive a new certificate for an equal value of the new stock. Outdated certificates should be returned by the grandkid to the Fund Manager.
- The Fund Manager will hold and invest any dividends, not necessarily in the same stock.
- There is no guarantee that Granddad will always be able to do this. While it is his intent to award stock to all grandkids at an appropriate age, that may not be possible.
- If something happens to Granddad, Grandma Lynn will become Fund Manager. If something happens to both of them, then their Trustee becomes the Fund Manager. The Fund will be discontinued and the proceeds distributed as described below.
- The Fund Manager may at anytime discontinue the Fund. In the event the Fund is discontinued, the value of the grandkids' holdings will be distributed in a manner appropriate for the grandkid's age.
- The Fund Manager will from time to time send reports on how each grandkid's stocks are doing.
- Granddad will always answer questions about GIF if a grandkid asks.
- Any grandkid can cash out any or all of his or her share of the fund at anytime after he or she reaches age 18.
- The Fund Manager may change or add to the rules at anytime but always with the goals of the Fund and the interests of the grandkids in mind.
It is very early in the going, but both the grandkids and their parents are responding favorably. The parents have shown the kids how to check their stock price on the Internet and they are doing so regularly. On top of being the right kind of thing to do, it is a lot of Foolish fun.

It's easy to predict that technology will produce some really cool things in the future and actually believe them. The complete lack of warp drive, personal replicators or personal hovercraft could embitter those of us who are constantly optimistic about the gap between miraculous potential and mundane reality.
Every once in a while something comes along that is so cool it revives my faith that we're on the bus for the World of the Future, rather than the Cyberpunk Dystopia.
Since fall, Vancouver-based Recon Instruments has been selling ski goggles with GPS and a heads-up display that tells you your speed, time, altitude, distance travelled and location on the mountain, all without taking your eyes off the trail or the tree that's rushing toward you way faster than a tree should be able to move.
The display comes from a pair of micro-LCDs that shine directly into the user's retina, using less power and obstructing the view of the killer tree to less of a degree than other HUD designs might if they were squeezed into such a small space.
There are plenty of heads-up displays for cars, with night vision, GPS and other data, and a few for motorcycles or other smaller situations. Even in those applications they're still rare because of the cost and demand for battery power.
Recon's first version costs between $400 and $430, depending on your choice of lenses.
It comes with a rechargeable lithium battery the company said will last about eight hours at room temperature (rare while skiing), or six hours at 14 Fahrenheit. They're good for 300 to 500 complete cycles, recharge with a USB connection and have to be replaced at the factory because "they're buried pretty deeply in there."
That's inconvenient but, for a google, pretty impressive.
The GPS doesn't display trail maps, but Recon is working on downloadable software to allow that.
The next version, which should ship sometime in 2011 and cost closer to $500, will connect to smartphones using WiFi so "music playlists, caller ID and text messages will be viewable hands-free, direct-to-eye on the hill," according to Recon.
It will support Bluetooth so the goggles can be a heads-up, hands-free viewfinder for the wireless cameras -- presumably the very small, record-my-disastrous-crash-for-YouTube cams worn by XtrEMe boarders and mountain bikers until they're airlifted off the mountain.
Most potentially exciting and disastrous, the goggles will run on Google's Android OS and Recon will release an API so skiers can download Android apps for any kind of communication or GPS-enabled stuff.
Recon predicted the goggles and apps would let you do things like track buddies on the mountain and take calls or read texts without being distracted during the approach of a killer tree.
I'm guessing it won't be too long before app developers turn the HUD interface into a game UI so the augmented real world looks more like a game-ish virtual one.
Why ski down a boring old real hill when you can view a 3-D game interface and score extra points on your runs by hitting moguls, taking tricky routes and outrunning killer shrubbery.
