Pianist Georgy Tchaidze Releases All-Russian Recording with Honens
Russian pianist Georgy Tchaidze, Prize Laureate of the 2009 Honens International Piano Competition, has just released a new all-Russian recital recording on the Honens label. The album features works by Medtner, Mussorgsky and Prokofiev, all of which Tchaidze performed at his debuts earlier this year at Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall (New York), the Glenn Gould Studio (Toronto), Berlin's Konzerthaus, and London's Wigmore Hall. This CD is the 2009 Honens Prize Laureate's second recording on the Honens label.
Naxos of North America Inc. is now the official distributor of Honens label recordings throughout North and South America (physical recordings), and through online music retailers worldwide. This partnership comes after the successful release of four Honens label recordings in August 2011 including Georgy Tchaidze's all-Schubert album and 2006 Honens Prize Laureate Minsoo Sohn's album, which was one of 25 classical recordings lauded in The New York Times Holiday Gift Guide 2011.
Mr. Tchaidze's recording, produced at Canada's Banff Centre, was made possible through the Honens Competition's Artistic & Career Development Program with support and guidance from The Banff Centre's Music & Sound Program and the RBC Foundation.
Russian pianist Georgy Tchaidze is 2009 Prize Laureate of Canada's Honens International Piano Competition. The Telegraph of London commented on the "fine sensibility and perfectly honed technique" displayed at his Wigmore Hall debut in London in March 2012. His Honens win allowed him to bring his artistry beyond Russia for performances throughout Europe and North America for the first time. Last Spring, he also performed at Berlin's Konzerthaus, the Glenn Gould Studio in Toronto and Zankel Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York. His festival performances this year included Canada's Westben, Toronto Summer Music, Ottawa International Chamber Music and France's Piano aux Jacobins. In 2011, he played for the Governor General of Canada at the special invitation of The Glenn Gould Foundation, and that same year performed Rachmaninov's second piano concerto with conductor Pinchas Zukerman and the National Arts Centre Orchestra about which the Ottawa Citizen wrote "commendable clarity ... unusually powerful for a performance of so little ostentation." Mr. Tchaidze is currently touring Canada with the Cecilia String Quartet, First Prizewinner of the 2010 Banff International String Quartet Competition. Tchaidze's two recordings, one of works by Schubert and this all-Russian recital album, are available on the Honens label. Aside from music, he is a film buff-directors Fassbinder, German, Sokurov and Tarkovsky are among his favorites.
Excerpted from Liner Notes:
Georgy Tchaidze in Conversation with Eric Friesen: Georgy Tchaidze has chosen not only an all-Russian program for this recording, but a profoundly Russian one with an excursion into unjustly neglected corners of the repertoire, and something magnificently familiar. The program taken as a whole is like a dense Russian fugue with a counterpoint of conflicting and parallel moods and themes. Although the Medtner and Prokofiev pieces were completed around 1916/1917, just as the old Tsarist regime was collapsing into the abyss, there are dramatic differences between them. On the one hand there is, as Georgy told me, in Medtner's music an "aspiration into the depths of the Russian past," and on the other hand in Prokofiev's Sonata a futuristic "audacious modernism." Then there is the nationalist Mussorgsky (one of "the Five"). There are the contrasting sensibilities of St. Petersburg (Prokofiev) and Moscow (Medtner and Mussorgsky). Woven throughout is The Common inspiration for all of these composers of Russian folklore, literature and art.

- - New from Powerbelt Bullets - Janurary 2011 (http://www.deerhuntersclub.com/forums/muzzleloader-hunting/6879-new-powerbelt-bullets-janurary-2011-a.html)
New from Powerbelt Bullets - Janurary 2011
Dudley wrote this in a response to someone on the cva blog,
"Right now, I am shooting a brand new PoweBelt called the AeroLite. It is a very long bullet, but is kept light by having a very large hollow point cavity that is then filled with an equally large hard polycarbonate aerotip. This allows the 250 bullet to be as long as a 300 grain standard or Platinum PowerBelt. This extra length and the aerodynamic shape of the bullet make it incredibly accurate -- I am talking 100 yard groups with all holes touching! Also, these AeroLites are "tuned" to perform best with 100 grain charges -- what most shooters actually use -- and with velocities produced by 100 grain charges they are devastating. They can also be used effectively with magnum charges, as long as the range is far enough for the speed to have reduced to about 1800 FPS or below. We will start shipping these early in 2011."
And here they are!
Can't wait to give them a shot.
They look like a missile for the military! No sabot? I haven't seen them anywhere yet.
LMAO what the hell? Everyone keeps saying " Looks like a missile!!" Thats to funny.
They will be out in January. I am getting a sneak peak preview of them to try out
I love the Powerbelt Platinum's,can't wait to try those.
minus the lower rings/groves they look a lot like some precision bullets I have. Same bullet color, red tip, but no groves though.
Aerolites are in! Will post info once ive got it typed up and some pictures to go along with it.

She was confident that by this time he had heard through Mrs. condor of her mother's illness and her loss of position.
It is the condor, the largest of the vulture tribe; the monarch of the birds of that region.
The weight of the humming-bird is one drachm, that of the condor not less than four stone.
The condor, when in full plumage, might be called a black-and-white bird.
The condor, which inhabits the higher Cordilleras, is peculiar to the whole Andean region, and is the largest of the Raptores.
The condor, however, is one of the most ravenous of his species.
He hoped again that Mrs. condor's desire to see him had to do with Claire—more particularly with her dismissal as accompanist.
For I knew that I could both fight and tell lies, besides defying the condor.
The condor thoughtfully stretched his wings as he considered how to explain this to the children.
I hope there will be no more ill-feeling between us, condor,' he said.
c.1600, from American Spanish, from Quechua cuntur, the native name for the bird.

The Importance of Exercise for College Students
"If you can get to the point where you're consistently saying to yourself exercise is something that you want to do, then you're charting a course to a different future – one that is less about surviving and more about thriving."
- Dr. John Ratey
Building a healthy relationship with exercise for personal wellness is our goal for every Madison student. In an ever-changing world filled with stress, sedentary lifestyles and negative media-induced body image ideals, it is so important for our graduates to build healthy habits to utilize in college and beyond.
Our bodies are built to move and quite frankly, need to move! Exercise can be more than just about losing weight or looking good in a bathing suit. Exercise can build confidence, reduce stress, and improve learning and mental health. There are so many different ways to exercise - finding a workout you enjoy is the first step in building a healthier you.

Thor's Hammer
Framing hammers take a lot of abuse, and after a while their striking surfaces can start to break down. To prolong the life of the Hardcore Hammer, its maker recessed the waffle face (made from hardened steel) slightly from the head's smooth outer ring. This protects the edges from chipping and could lessen the damage to your fingers if you're unlucky enough to give yourself a whack. Since the hammer doesn't leave a waffle print, it can be used to drive the occasional finish nail. It has a hickory handle and magnetized nail slots on the top and bottom of the head.

|Home > Topics > Educational Rights of Homeless Children by Mike O'Connor, Esq.
For children who have been traumatized by the loss of home, friends, and perhaps death or injury of family members, returning to school is not only important for educational purposes; attendance at a school becomes an oasis of normalcy for them.
As families leave devastated areas, some will disperse to friends and relatives homes across the country. Others may become truly homeless, or be placed in temporary housing at hotels, motels or military bases by FEMA.
Although media reports have suggested that schools across the country are welcoming such children, some parents are encountering problems. The lack of identity papers, immunization documents, school records, and lack of proof of prior residency may lead some school districts to resist or refuse admitting children.
The lack of an IEP or 504 Plan for children will also cause some delays in admission or provision of appropriate services. This memo briefly summarizes basic education rights of all homeless children, and also reviews rights of children with disabilities. Websites at the bottom of the memo offer more detailed information.
McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act
McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act requires that all school
districts make special accommodations to ensure access to school for
children whose families are homeless.
A homeless child must be promptly enrolled, provided full access to classes, be afforded transportation if needed and cannot be discriminated against, or placed in a segregated school, based on their status.
Some displaced families from areas other than New Orleans may end up in locations not far from their original residence, but outside the boundary of their home school. The McKinney Act expressly provides such children the option to attend their home school (if it is still operating).
State education agencies (SEAs) have responsibility to ensure compliance by local school districts, and each state has designated a coordinator of homeless education of children and youth. The coordinators office should be helpful in correcting any barriers or other problems that arise in local school districts.
Problem Solving Strategies for Advocates
Generally, the process of problem solving or advocacy should start with the principal and case manager in a school, then the school district administration, then the SEA coordinator, then U.S. Department of Education (see list of regional offices below).
Advocates should also inquire about state and local policies and procedures, many of which are posted on agency web sites. For example, the Chicago Public Schools website has a 92 page manual setting out procedures for serving homeless children (Chicago Coalition for the Homeless)
Recourse to more formal advocacy may also be necessary. Federal courts have ruled McKinney provisions to be enforceable under 42 U.S.C. §1983, and advocates have successfully enforced McKinney Act provisions in State courts. Also, it may be helpful to monitor the web sites of the Louisiana Department of Education which reports efforts to provide electronic data bases to schools to help with the enrollment of displaced children.
Children with Disabilities Who Are Homeless
Children with disabilities who are homeless were expressly recognized in the reauthorization of IDEA in P.L. 108-446. IDEA now incorporates the McKinney definition of homeless children.
Child Find and Surrogate Parents
Also, the Child Find obligations imposed on school districts to identify, evaluate and provide services to all children with disabilities, no matter how severe, has been expressly extended to homeless children. IDEA 2004 also requires that unaccompanied youth, (that is a homeless adolescent not accompanied by a parent or guardian) should have a surrogate parent appointed.
Homeless Children Who Have No IEP
There will most likely be unique challenges arising for children with disabilities who seek to enroll in a school, but lack an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) or any documentation of the nature of their disability.
Moreover, many children, including those not previously eligible for special education services, will have such emotional scars from their experience that they will be in need of social work and/or psychological services, which the school should promptly identify and provide as needed.
The burdens and costs of conducting adequate evaluations of children will be a strain for many school districts, and many children will be at risk of not receiving prompt evaluations and specialized services.
School districts and state agencies may propose waivers of various requirements, which may be necessary in the short term. However, because many displaced children will likely remain in that status for an extended period of time, such waivers should not become the status quo and unreasonably deny children educational services in the long term.
Unique Challenges of Displaced Children
Some urban areas, especially those within 400 miles of New Orleans, will experience a large influx of displaced children, and will likely present unique challenges.
If systemic problems are encountered, members of the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA) should link up with legal aid programs, Protection and Advocacy agencies, and private law firms providing pro bono representation.
COPAA will provide more information about these emerging networks of resources as they become available.

Decision makers
- Illinois Governor
Put An End to the Death Penalty In Illinois
The bill to end the death penalty in Illinois passed the State House by a vote of 60-54. And it passed the Senate 32-25. Now all we need is Gov. Pat Quinn's signature!
It was clear ten years ago that the death penalty system in Illinois was broken. That's why they put a moratorium on executions. Now -- a decade later -- the same problems persist.
Illinois has exonerated 20 people who were sentenced to die for crimes they did not commit -- two of them just last year.
The death penalty still doesn't keep the public any safer.
It still fails to meet the needs of murder victims' families.
And -- even with the moratorium -- the death penalty still costs taxpayers millions of dollars more than alternatives.
You have a chance to put an end to this broken nightmare of a system.
Urge the governor to end the death penalty in Illinois once and for all.
- Illinois Governor
I urge you to end the death penalty in Illinois now.
During these tough times, we can't afford to throw away resources on a
system that is so broken it can't be fixed.
The death penalty doesn't keep us any safer. It risks executing innocent
people. It fails to meet the needs of murder victims' families. And it costs
millions of dollars more than alternatives.

2 Recommendations
szlea's recommendation
A flame-patterned heat-resistant silicone mop end that sops up plenty of his secret-recipe barbecue sauce - AND it sports a built-in bottle opener in the handle. $14.95
roxygrl's recommendation
This is perfect for any bbq grill! Regular sauce brushes may get the job done, but the new Chefân Grill'n Mop Brush adds a little sizzle to the grill. The flame design is fun and functional: made from multiple layers of silicone, the brush evenly spreads sauces and marinades on veggies or meat.

Breaker constantly blowing : question
Hello DIY,
Question for you guys as Im not sure where else to go for such a thing.
Our basement suite has been rented recently to two young girls. Our previous tenants never had issues, which makes me curious.
Anyhow, one breaker in particular is breaking frequently as they've said. I flipped the breaker off and took my currency tester, and traced how many outlets and lights are connected to this breaker.
1 bedroom light, 4 bedroom outlets and 2 of those over the sink outlets that shut themselves off in case of water or shorting. The research I did, proved that wasn't excessive or even pushing it. Is that correct?
My next questions went to them, what are you guys using to blow this?
Hair dryers, straighteners, kettles, coffee machines. Are these types of things particularly high in amp draw?
MY newest issue, is that they are claiming that the kitchen outlet has "fried" their kettle and coffee maker and are asking we reimburse them. Is this my fault? I'm doubting its just coincidence they both broke due to age or whatever.
Can someone please please shed some insight on this for me?
All of the items you mentioned typically use a lot of power.
As a general rule....If it produces heat to heat something (straightener to straighten hair, coffee maker/kettle to heat water, hair dryer to heat air), it will typically draw a lot of power.
Most likely using any of those 2 items at the same time on the same circuit will cause the breaker to trip especially if it is a 15 amp circuit.
Thank you so much for the quick reply!
Any idea how/why their appliances are breaking?
Overcurrent on the circuit could be causing a voltage drop on the circuit.
Changes in voltages for devices designed to operate at a specific voltage can do all sorts of crazy things.
Power = (Voltage) * (Current)
If a device is designed to output so much power, a drop in voltage will translate into an increase in current. Higher current draw could damage the internal wiring/circuits because they are not designed to withstand the higher currents.
This all is assuming a voltage drop occurs as a result of the overcurrent situation on your circuit.
Agreed! The circuit must be on a 15amp vs 20amp. Any receptacles period are required by NEC to be placed on a 20 amp breaker, using 12-2 wire. The kitchen bath should also be on a dedicated circuit alone. Still using both receptacles per bath with the items will cause the breaker to trip, for thats what it is designed to do, to decrease any over ampere to the circuit.
However, the NEC does require that the BATHROOM be on a dedicated 20 amp circuit.
And if there is a kitchen area in the suite, NEC requires 2, 20 amp small appliance circuits in the kitchen area.
The bedroom lighting and outlets can however be a 15 amp circuit.
It sounds like you really should have an electrician check out the situation, you may really need to have a couple of your circuits upgraded, or at least split into several circuits.
TTW: I agree.. 20 amps are not. Should be, but not. I'm not mad with you. Hey its just a practice again. Everyday code is changing. And yes you are right about the 15 amps.. they are allowed- but i disagree on the usage for them especially pulling to 2-3 beds on one circuit on that 15, have caused fires from my experience to having to rewire portions from a burnt out.. ifff not total!
No hard feeling.... :)
I believe you can be in allot of cases especially on this electrical side to per-cautous to where your over cautious.. thats when things really happen. Ratings doesnt always equals out to voltage. I've witness allot of incidence, had to come behind ME's to correct problems! And their ME's, lol
Voltage drop will not fry resistive loads like the kettle, I would suspect you may have a shared neutral circuit with an open neutral causing high voltage to appear at the outlets. I would check for MWBC (multi wire branch circuit) in the kitchen and see if the neutral has opened.
The NEC requirement for the bathroom to be on a dedicated 20a ckt is one of the recent changes. I don't recall when the rule was put into place, but the chances are, your up to code for the time period that your basement was done....hence, it's a non-topic.
Girls? 2 Girls? The typical hair dryer pulls 1200-1500W....if both of them do their hair at the same time....yea...it will trip the breaker.....and as a father of 3 girls....the likelyhood of 2 adult girls getting ready at the same time...is pretty high.....
As for the other items....like Stubie said....if you have a MWBC (2 hots that share a neut), then it is 'possible' to get a high voltage on one leg if there is a neut issue. If the MWBC was done right, you would have a double breaker feeding it.
Hey Speedy, I got no idea what JuzRick is trying to say either.

How Zite's News App Altered the Zeitgeist in Personalized Publishing
(Page 3 of 3)
potential ad impressions in the process. "We did it because we have the bests interest of the users at heart," Johnson says. Also, he says, there just wasn't time to negotiate republishing agreements with every Web publisher whose content might show up in the app. "We are a small, scrappy company that didn't spend a lot of time building relationships. We thought we would launch, and then talk to people. We had no idea we would get so big so fast and draw the attention of major publishers."
The solution, though, turned out to be straightforward: if a publisher requests it, the app renders their pages in Web mode first. There's still a button that lets users switch back to reader mode, but only after those crucial ad impressions have, at least nominally, been delivered. "There are some clear disadvantages to Web mode," Johnson says. "It loads a lot slower. It's not optimized for the iPad. User engagement isn't as high," as measured by how many times readers share or rate the content. But the compromise was the only way for the startup to get back to business.
And the more time publishers spend studying Zite, Johnson says, the better they understand how it differs from some of the other news-aggregation apps. Zite doesn't have Flipboard-style publisher sections, for example, so it's not as if the app is duplicating the experience readers would have at the publications' own websites. Articles from one source are always interspersed with content from other sources—some of them quite obscure. "We look at hundreds of thousands of sources every day, mostly smaller publications you have never heard of," Johnson says.
The topic-based content streams are likely to contain articles that wouldn't turn up in a user's existing RSS feeds or social networks. The way Johnson sees it, that means Zite is actually bringing publishers new readers. "We fare a lot better with publishers" these days, he says. "The e-mails we typically get now are 'How do I get more exposure on Zite?,' not 'How do I change the way my pages render?'"
A few months after the iPad app debuted, Zite got a different kind of message, from CNN. "They said 'We really love your product. How can we work with you?" Johnson recounts. "'How can we work with you?' quickly turned into 'How can we buy you?'" Venture firms had offered Zite "interesting" term sheets, he says, but the CNN deal ultimately proved too enticing to resist.
The network promised to let Johnson run Zite independently and to leave the startup's team untouched (today there are four employees working in Vancouver and nine in San Francisco). It said it would promote Zite on its website and in its TV programs, and that it hoped eventually to incorporate Zite's personalization technology into other CNN apps. But it hasn't leaned on the company for much technology help yet. "CNN bought us because they really saw something unique here, and very wisely, they are letting it run its course," says Johnson.
With CNN and Time Warner as it new protectors, Zite isn't likely to get many new C&D letters. That doesn't mean publishers have gotten used to seeing so many people consuming their content via platforms they don't control and can't readily monetize. But that train left the station long ago—and where readers go, publishers must ultimately follow.
Johnson says Zite's job is to keep improving the browsing and reading experience for users, while still helping publishers find a way to thrive. "I think any company in our position needs to be sensitive to the fact that there are three parties here—the application builder, the reader, and the publisher," he says. "The application builder wants to make sure they are creating a great user experience and have all the right content and can deliver it to users. The users want to sit and read and have a really streamlined experience. And the publisher needs to get paid, at the end of the day. We have to figure out how to work together to make sure users are getting the content they want."
In a world where readers apparently want to consume more and more content in bite-sized chunks on smaller devices, it's not clear which new business models will ultimately work for publishers and app makers. "It might be subscriptions," says Johnson. "It could be advertising, but it would have to be much better than current advertising on the Web." Zite itself is experimenting with one form of advertising—Intel has signed on to sponsor the entire technology section of the app, and Bergdorf-Goodman sponsors the fashion section. "Or something might come along that makes micropayments a lot easier. It's a hairy situation where no one really knows the end game."
Aggregation aggravation, in other words, isn't going away. But the publishers' lawyers have—at least for now.

I Believe In Scott Harvey
I remember it like it was yesterday, because it was. I'm standing at the bus stop, and some obnoxious guy leans over to me and says, "You know, there's no such thing as Scott Harvey. It's just your mom and dad putting wine in your glass." I cried for a little, because my mom always told me that Scott Harvey WAS my dad.

Now And Then
My husband recently got a promotion at work and we went out this past weekend to celebrate. While we were at dinner, we were kind of reminiscing about how life was when we first met, and even, before we knew one another. Both of us had a lot of stories and memories to share. We've come a long way!
Growing up, neither one of us came from a wealthy family. We both started working at an early age. I got a paper route with my brother when I was 11 and my husband starting working in a field picking corn at age 11 also. We worked our way up to working part time in our local supermarket's and eventually made enough money to buy things for ourselves, like our first car, car insurance, put ourselves through college, etc. It's actually funny that we didn't know each other back then, because some parts of our lives were parallel.
Neither one of us had any handouts, because our families just couldn't afford to help us. It taught us both responsibility, how to save, and have a good work ethic. Both of us have always been the type to have at least 2 jobs at one time, until very recently.
For the first time in our adult lives, we have finally made it to a place where we don't have to work multiple jobs to get by! Man, it's a great feeling! However, there were things we did when we were young and broke, that just stayed with us. It's funny how you develop habits that don't go away! We were talking about money-saving habits that stuck with us, and here are a few:
- I still eat every last bite on my plate, because I was always taught not to waste food as a kid.
- I still turn off every light in the house and I unplug things that aren't in use to save money. (Ask my husband about how I used to unplug the stove to save money!)
- I'll make coffee at home most of the time, because I feel guilty spending $4 on a coffee at Starbucks.
- I always order water in a restaurant, for two reasons. One, I like water, and two, I worry about spending too much by ordering alcohol.
- I always eat restaurant leftovers. Throwing them away is like throwing away money!
- I hang clothes on a clothes dryer when possible so I don't have to use the dryer all the time.
- Even when I know there's money in there, I have a feeling of cringy panic every time I log online to see how much money is in the bank.
- I kept a crappy car for 8 years, even though I needed a new one and worked hard for a new one…because I was afraid I "couldn't afford it."
My husband and I never take anything for granted, we feel fortunate for everything we have, no matter how big or small. We appreciate it all because we know we worked hard for it.
So, I guess growing up without hand-outs wasn't so bad. It taught me responsibility and how to save money!
What are some habits that you use to save money? Have they stuck with you for years, like mine?

I'm an RA at the college i go to and pretty much everyone in my building knows my car. A couple days ago a guy came up to me and said his buddy beat me in his gtp. I was like ok, to bad it wasn't me. There is one other black wrx in the town I go to school in and I know the guy and his car is stock. The guy said his friend beat the wrx by 1.5 cars and at this time he said the gtp had intake, exhaust, pulleys and someother stuff done. I was like whatever, coo if he only beat a stock wrx by a car and a half i'd beat him pretty good.
the same guy came upto me last night and said the guy wants to race me and that he said he has over 380 hp, and that he wants to race me. to bad i gave up street racing, it would be fun

It's been fascinating to watch Apple build its arsenal of products in the last decade – not only because of their remarkable success, but because of the deliberate, disciplined way in which they did it. Each built on the framework set by the last – the iPod mini and Nano relied on the same intuitive experience introduced in the original iPod, the iPhone leveraged the millions of people who understood how to buy music through iTunes, and the iPad rode the wave of iOS's intuitive touch-based navigation. The Macbook Air was created to show us what an iPad would look like if you attached a keyboard, and the Macbook Pro will no doubt soon evolve to a slighly larger Macbook Air (goodbye, optical drive!).
Another element of this evolution that may sometimes go unnoticed is the elegant way in which Apple has positioned each new product with respect to the others. For the moment I'm going to focus solely on mobile products, and I'm going to take a leap and say that there are two basic dimensions on which to measure this positioning – screen size and price.
I'm using screen size as a proxy for a device's ability to consume and create content. The types of media one can consume or create increase with screen size. I can enjoy songs with a Shuffle (no screen) but I can consume movies, music, and apps with an iPhone. The 10.7" iPad is built for media consumption but also introduces limited content creation capabilities. As you shift to the 11" – 17" Macbooks your ability to create content increases dramatically. Basically, the bigger the screen the more stuff you can do.
The other dimension is price. It makes sense that as your ability to consume and create content increases, the device has more inherent value to you, and you would expect the price to increase. As you can see in the plot below, Apple has mapped its devices' ability to do stuff and the price you are willing to pay for that privilege in an extraordinarily consistent fashion (note that the data points are the dots underneath the pictures, not the pictures themselves):
This plot leads directly to a discussion about the gaping hole that exists between the iPhone and the iPad. You can bet that Apple has this same diagram somewhere and has been planning to plug that gap for some time now. This is where the rumored iPad Mini fits, and you can see that it makes perfect sense. I'm guessing Steve Jobs wasn't being entirely honest when he said he didn't think that the size offered a good experience. It might not be as good as the experience you get with an iPad, but you're going to gain a little in portability and pay a little less. In fact, you could argue that it has already proven to work, in a more limited fashion, on what I would consider the only other legitimate "tablet" product on the market – the Amazon Kindle:
The Kindle, even the Kindle Fire, clearly doesn't offer the same capabilities as the iPad – particularly in content creation. But it represents the best in content consumption in the 5"-8" screen sizes, as it is small enough to carry most places but big enough and capable enough to comfortably watch a movie or play a game like Angry Birds. Apple would obviously be crazy to cede this territory to Amazon and, if the recent rumors are true, they aren't planning on it.
The great thing about this chart is that it allows us to very easily make some guesses on iPad mini pricing. Given that the current iPod Touch (3.5" screen) is priced between $200 and $400, and the iPad (10.7" screen) is priced between $400 and $900, I would bet that the iPad Mini will start at either $250 or $300 with three models of varying storage capacity. $250 would keep it more competitive with the Kindle Fire, but I'm not sure Apple will be willing to stomach the margins at that price. So, my estimate is that the iPad Mini comes in at prices of $300, $400, and $500 for the wifi only versions, and $400, $500, and $600 for those with cellular capabilities.
Similarly, rumors suggest that Apple has been working an a new iPhone with a larger screen. Given the size of the gap between the iPhone and iPad in their current lineup, Apple can easily pull this off while leaving the iPhone 4s, measuring at 3.5", at the $100 price point and the iPhone 4 for free. My prediction for the iPhone 5 (or perhaps The New iPhone) is that Apple moves as far away from the 4s as they can without making a stupidly large phone. I think the sweet spot is a screen size of 4.65", or similar to the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. For price, they'll stick to their tradition of maintaining the same pricing as the last generation: $200, $300, and $400.
Putting it all together, and by the end of 2012, this is what the spectrum of Apple mobile products looks like – all connected by iCloud, running similar software, and supported by the largest ecosystem of content consumption opportunities in the world. Not bad:
Let's bring Apple's non-mobile devices back into the fold and eliminate the devices that are primarily used for content creation, the MacBooks. It's easy to ask the same question that Apple inevitably did: where to next? The answer is simple – having solved the problems of personal consumption and creation, move right on the x-axis to bigger screens intended for multi-person consumption. The following chart presents a simplified view of the opportunities that might exist for Apple when they go beyond 17":
This is where it gets a bit tricky. The dramatic decrease in the cost of televisions for a given screen size has significantly reduced the market for televisions in the 20" – 35" range. I would imagine the vast majority of televisions purchased in the last year were between 40" and 50". If I was Apple, that's the spot I would target first:
My prediction is that the iTV will come in three sizes: 37", 42", and 46" for $999, $1,399, and $1,799. Moreover, I expect that they will use mid-range LCD panels in the first generation of iTV and charge a 20% price premium compared to other manufacturers with similar technology. I say this because:
- I think Apple has realized that the difference between the best and average displays has narrowed considerably, particularly for the average consumer.
- Apple is still a relatively risk-averse company, and using the latest technology (think the television equivalent of a retina display) would cost far more in production and R&D costs for an unproven product in the marketplace. If or when the iTV succeeds, they'll introduce a high-end unit with improved technology.
- Apple loves its margins. High end displays will cut into those margins if they want to price the television competitively.
The question becomes whether Apple will offer enough in this package to justify the 20% premium. Recall that there is already a product on the market called AppleTV which will connect any old flat screen to the Apple ecosystem for $100, and I don't expect this product to get killed off. Think of it as a teaser product, an easy way to test the waters before diving in headfirst. I have no doubt this is why Apple has priced the unit so aggressively – they're simply building demand for the inevitable television.
I do believe that Apple will provide a device that justifies the cost, and here is why. Remember when Steve Jobs presented the original iPhone? He prefaced the introduction by saying he was introducing three devices – a music player, a phone, and an internet connectivity device. Apple is going to use the exact same strategy with iTV, except they're going to introduce the world's best television, a home video communication device, and a new gaming console.
Let's start with the television. Three things are certain. The UI, of course, will be trademark Apple – simple, intuitive, elegant, and seamlessly integrating DVR, cable television, Blu-Ray, etc. The television design will be drop-dead sexy in its simplicity, likely in a similar unibody aluminum casing as the Macbook line. It will also, as rumored, integrate Siri for voice navigation. I have some doubts as to how useful this will be, but I think the natural language processing will make it more useful than the novelty that you find on the Xbox.
There is one additional feature I'm hoping for, though I really don't expect it. I hope that Apple does something incredibly innovative with the remote control. I'd love to see at minimum an entry-level iPod Touch included as the remote. It's a great way to cross-sell newcomers into Apple's mobile products. Even better, I'd like to see an entirely new touch screen device that is the same size as the iPod Touch but even thinner, as the storage requirements would be nil and batter consumption low. Unfortunately, I imagine we'll actually just get the nice little aluminum remote they deliver with an AppleTV.
Let's talk about the iTV as a video communication device. I expect the iTV to have a built in HD-capable camera for video conferencing, and I think people are dramatically underestimating the importance of this feature. Imagine you are watching Monday Night Football. Your wife, on a business trip and about to head to bed in her hotel room, initiates a FaceTime session. Based on your preferences, the television either:
- Gradually reduces volume to mute while shrinking the game to picture-in-picture size
- Pauses the game and immediately begins recording on an internal flash drive so you can pick up where you left off when your conversation is finished, intelligently skipping commercials until you catch up to the live stream.
Your wife's video stream occupies the majority of the screen and you and the kids are able to say goodnight together without reaching for the phone, grabbing your iPad, or flipping open your MacBook. I believe Apple is looking to fundamentally change the way we communicate by making video calling a simple, intimate, and expressive experience. Of course, there will always be a way to shut off the camera and leave the audio running if you happen to be in your pajamas.
Lastly, Apple will present the device as home for the next generation of gaming. The most recent updates to the AppleTV interface reveal that Apple is clearly planning to accommodate apps in their future television devices, and games will be the obvious first choice for these applications. They're likely already working with a game developer to prepare a sexy demo for the keynote.
These games won't have graphics to compare to the latest stand-alone game consoles, but they will only be a click and short download away from use with a range of input device options from an iPod touch, an iPad (mini), or a standalone controller Apple will sell you at a nice high margin. If you're a game developer, you've suddenly gained access to an entirely new market that is already accustomed to purchasing through the Apple ecosystem – for a 30% cut, of course. I leave open the small chance that Apple will collaborate somehow with Nintendo in this space – possiblye by compatibility with Wii controllers and games, or maybe just a set of popular Nintendo games among the first announced.
To be sure, televisions are a competitive market and there are many points at which Apple could make a wrong move. However, I believe the executives at the major television manufacturers are vastly underestimating Apple's ability to leverage the iTunes/iCloud ecosystem to deliver a better value proposition that the current offering. Consider this recent quote from Samsung's AV manager, Chris Moseley:
"TVs are ultimately about picture quality. Ultimately. How smart they are…great, but let's face it that's a secondary consideration. The ultimate is about picture quality and there is no way that anyone, new or old, can come along this year or next year and beat us on picture quality," Moseley told Pocket-lint. "So, from that perspective, it's not a great concern but it remains to be seen what they're going to come out with, if anything."
Compare that to a few now-famous quotes from another Apple product launch:
"We believe there is enough evidence to suggest Apple will launch such a device. In our view, the appearance of the iPhone (or something like it) poses little risk to RIM's business."
Chris Umiastowski, TD Securities
"We've learned and struggled for a few years here figuring out how to make a decent phone. PC guys are not going to just figure this out. They're not going to just walk in."
Ex-Palm CEO Ed Colligan
It's like they all belong to some crazy self-denial, when-all-else-fails-rely-on-the-tech-specs club. What these guys didn't realize then, and what apparently Mr. Moseley is having a tough time processing now, is that Apple isn't selling a phone or a television. Apple has rarely competed on specs, because usually the specs aren't that great. Apple will compete by selling a single, elegant medium for media consumption, communication, gaming, and who knows what else once the developer ecosystem gets rolling. Personally, I'm looking forward to the first quadcopter dogfighting game, where each quadcopter is equipped with a video camera and AirPlay.
Apple doesn't sell a product, it sells solutions. Chris's "picture quality" will always be important to some subset of videophiles, just like there is a subset of the population that requires $5,000 speakers and $60,000 performance-tuned BMWs. Like the PC industry of the last decade, parity has been reached in television technology for the average consumer. Most of us can't tell yu the difference between 120Hz and 240Hz, and frankly we don't care. We just want a nice looking device that makes it easy to record Castle, chat with grandma, and play Angry Birds.
I'm not sure where Apple will turn after the television market. They'll certainly have a nice set of TV iterations that improve the screen and other functionality, and that should sustain them for a few years. I have a gut feeling that Apple still has its sights set on the education market and may begin working on the gap between personal consumption devices like the iPad (10") and group consumption devices like the iTV (37"). My best guess is something like a folding, two-panel tablet (one side for content, the other side for notes, each 10.7"). For some reason, I just don't believe that the most recent textbook announcement from Apple was nearly as far as Steve wanted to go.
None of the above is rocket science, I certainly don't have any inside information, and I'm basically just making educated guesses, but it's always fun to pull a few data points and think about the possibilities. I'm looking forward to seeing how accurate I am come fall, when I expect both the television and the iPhone 5 (the New iPhone?) to be introduced.

Appeals Judge Upholds Anti-Homeless "Lodging" Law Against "Lighthouse" Linda Lemaster
Judge Paul Marigonda, notorious earlier in his career for trying to jail good activists with Food Not Bombs in San Francisco, and prosecutor of homeless people here in Santa Cruz as D.A., has ruled against an unusual Writ of Habeas Corpus filed by attorney Jonathan Gettleman, representing Linda Lemaster in one of the last of the PeaceCamp2010 cases. Lemaster may appeal or go directly to jury trial, facing a possible 6 months in jail and $1000 fine for sitting on the steps of the County Building with a sick activist and a sign suggesting that (homeless) Sleep is not a Crime.

This continual persecution of protesters aided and abetted by the local judiciary leads me to ask: can anyone get justice in Santa Cruz?
Monday Jun 11th, 2012 2:49 PM
Honorable Judge Paul Marigonda's reply to my attorney, Jonathan Gettleman's, Writ of Habeus Corpus plays straight and gentle with his task: to see if there's been a misinterpretation of the Califrnia's pc Lodging law, 647(e). Yet he STILL finds no reason to challenge Santa Cruz County's Sheriff and his Deputies for wiping out our PeaceCamp 2010 demonstration with that statute.
I read a lot of the history of this code and now I am personally shocked that it can even be legally applied against homeless people; for example Gary Johnson, Star, Chris D and many others. I'm appalled that it is used to shake down an obvious (even to this Judge) First Amendment demonstration. I remain indignant that the police, apparently in a hidden committee with other County department heads but outside the ears of taxpayers, can make up their rules as they go along, while expecting us the general public, citizens of California and the United States of America in most instances, to incisively second-guess their legal meaning and marshalling intentions, and then to give up our understanding of a legal, legitimate, and urgent protest or go to jail.
My attorney suggests that maybe this particular Judge's decision, the Writ of Habeas Corpus about Lodging law, can be appealed?
I remain in shock, as I watch California's judicial system listing and it seems about to breach. This is an adversarial system, and not the one we were told about in Civics or History classes. Even while our state government has ordered the jails to be thinned to avoid another kind of lawsuit, these courts are STUCK in a momentum that seems to turn on obfuscation and hostility.
In the three-stage Write of Habeas Corpus, this Judge noted that the DA was not helping support the way an appeal is supposed to work, because she basically just made a general denial when argumentation and evidence were required. Gentle, as I noted, but very clearly somebody's being called out. So yet further delays in court.
I've seen the same indulgence of 'tude among the DA's staff when I attend Occupy Santa Cruz-related Santa Cruz Eleven hearings and proceedings: understanding not required, full speed ahead!
Years ago, I was among the public school students chanting "with Liberty and Justice for All" every single school day, hand on heart, believing I was a part of creating something fair for all of us. Now, because they keep dragging out this legal merry-go-round with no concern for anybody's time or health, not to mention for Justice, the more clearly I see I have neither Justice nor Liberty. I'm being punished for unsuccessfully enjoying my civil rights promised by the US and California Constitutions. And so far, I'm one of the Lucky ones.
Remember Gary Johnson's appeal, this Thursday; he and his attorney Ed Frey and also still standing up to this miscarriage of Justice now being rubber-stamped by this Court system.

Linda: you're not going to get justice in Santa Cruz. I read your attorney's Writ of Habeas Corpus. It was an excellent piece of work. Very well written. Gettleman is really good. Kudos to him.
If Gettleman's willing to appeal your case all the way to the California Supreme Court, go for it. He can do it. He'll win at that level. Your case is that strong — Gettleman will win when he's on a level playing field. Your appeal will also help a lot of other people from being abused with 647(e) all over California. I urge you and Gettleman to appeal Marigonda's decision. I'll support you as best I can.

County budget hearings start June 18 before the Board of Supervisors. June 20 in the morning is the time slot for the Criminal Prosecution budget public comments. Other than elections, this is the only place I know of to provide input about county law enforcement, to ask for transparency and a better use of tax dollars.
Court funding and court process is a separate path. I'm sorry to read that Linda is mired down on it.
Tuesday Jun 12th, 2012 12:39 PM
The abuse of 647(e) is really the criminalization of protest, and worse, the criminalization of existing. In Santa Cruz, and in California. Blatantly, undeniably, without accountability. And without those embarrasing gas chambers.
So was 602(o), although even mentioning the use of 602(o) during trial was adamantly opposed by the bench, in Santa Cruz.
As for Habeas, well, it could be worse.
"All of our work has essentially been for naught," Mickum said. "This leaves open a glaring question, what is the next step? All of the habeas attorneys will be getting together for a major meeting to discuss that."
I am beginning to suspect that the phrase Constitutional Scholar, when used to describe first class gangsters, is dog-whistle-speak for Creative Violator.
Here is a next step suggestion: end offensive discretion, #FireBobLee
Before it is too late.
He probably didn't know that the cycles of history seem to drag the developed world into desperate times about every 75 years, and then seek relief through war or revolution.

The use of that statue is a way to prevent people from taking up residence in places in which they do not have the permission of the property owner (or those tasked with managing said property) to do so. The fact that you chose to take up residence in a place for which you did not have the property owner's (or of those tasked with stewarding that property) as a form of protest is immaterial.
As an analogy, stealing food from Safeway as a form of protest against world hunger does not mean I'm not guilty of shoplifting. If you want to defy a law you view as unjust or immoral, that's your prerogative, but you need to own the consequences of such defiance.
Wednesday Jun 13th, 2012 3:30 PM
647(e) is not being used to protect property. Linda Lemaster was cited while protesting, exercising her First Amendment rights. Read her attorney Jonathan Gettleman's Writ of Habeas Corpus. It spells out very clearly that Linda was cited for protesting, for exercising her free speech rights. Saying it was to protect property is ludicrous. How was Linda Lemaster a threat to anyone's property.
Wednesday Jun 13th, 2012 4:39 PM
Read the very first sentence. She was cited for lodging, not for protesting, not for exercising her Constitutional rights. For lodging. Her motivation for being on the property...for lodging...is immaterial.
Wednesday Jun 13th, 2012 4:46 PM
Lack of understanding of history, the Constitution, the Bill Of Rights, traditional public forums, and the role of protest in a healthy society can indeed lead to confusion.
Such is the legacy of the destruction of fundamental civics awareness in the USA.
Apparently basic human decency is also becoming a rarity...
Wednesday Jun 13th, 2012 11:58 PM
"Confused": you are indeed confused. The motive of protest is fundamental to what Linda Lemaster was doing. "Lodging" is overly vague. Linda fell asleep for a few moments while protesting — she was not actively sleeping in protest. The Sheriffs passed out leaflets that they would cite anyone in the vicinity whether they were technically "lodging" or just protesting as Linda was.
"Confused" should read Linda's attorney Jonathan Gettleman's Writ of Habeas Corpus. It is very well written legal work. On a level playing field — not a Santa Cruz court — Gettleman and Linda will prevail.
Thursday Jun 14th, 2012 3:56 PM
John, she wasn't 'actively sleeping'? What does that even mean? Does she have narcolepsy?
Thursday Jun 14th, 2012 5:51 PM
"Linda fell asleep for a few moments while protesting — she was not actively sleeping in protest."
Puh-leeze. If you want to have a chance to win this thing, please, stop letting your passions become so intense that they delude your grip on reality. Cause trust me, the courts aren't going to be equally impassioned. This line of defense that your proposing is guaranteed to be ineffective and frankly, it's embarrassingly naive. Akin to "my fist slipped; I didn't mean to punch her.".
Thursday Jun 14th, 2012 9:44 PM
Just because you don't want to be held accountable for what you've arbitrarily decided shouldn't be a crime,doesn't mean the Court is going to agree with you.
Friday Jun 15th, 2012 3:06 AM
Friday Jun 15th, 2012 11:41 AM
To Mr./Ms. Reality Check: why won't you read Linda Lemaster's attorney Jonathan Gettleman's Writ of Habeas Corpus? It lays out the factual circumstances and the issues involved. Linda nodded off during the night while holding a protest sign. How you or anyone could call that "lodging" defies description.
Friday Jun 15th, 2012 7:43 PM
In doing so, you can perhaps understand my contention and grasp my logic. That being:
Neither the user-friendly lawyers interpretation, nor Linda's contention, nor your "give the benefit of the doubt to the person who says she fell asleep by accident and not intentionally" IS NOT GOING TO WORK IN COURT.
Seriously. Come up with a better contention, or bow to defeat now. You are going to get slaughtered if that is your sole defense. As someone who claims to be professionally educated in the law, I would expect you to grasp that reality. If you don't, I question your training. But more importantly, I worry for Linda if she's buying the snake-oil defense your apparently telling her to drink.
I have no dog in this hunt. My viewpoint is mine alone. But I'm on record: you'll get laughed out of court with that defense.
Saturday Jun 16th, 2012 12:36 AM
You did not address any of the issues I raised. You tried to obfuscate the issues by claiming that I and others will be laughed out of court for holding our beliefs. Yet you did not read nor refute Gettleman's Writ of Habeas Corpus.
We would only be laughed out of a Santa Cruz court where the cards are stacked against justice and sound legal reasoning. As I have asserted before, if Gettleman appeals this to a higher court outside of Santa Cruz, his sound legal reasoning will prevail.
Read Gettleman's Writ of Habeas Corpus and argue against it, point by point. I claim you are not man or woman enough to do that. I'm calling you out.

Dr. Shawn Holliday, associate dean of graduate studies and professor of English at Northwestern Oklahoma State University, recently published a book that made the "Oklahoma Best-Sellers List."
Out of 10 best-sellers Holliday's book, titled "The Oklahoma Poets Laureate: A Sourcebook, History, and Anthology," ranked No. 8.
"I'm glad that my book will bring attention to the solid scholarly work that is occurring at Northwestern," Holliday said.
The book traces the history of Oklahoma's poet laureate position from its beginnings in 1923 to the present day. Beginning with a brief history of the poet laureate position, Holliday's book contains a biographical entry on each of Oklahoma's 20 poets laureate, critical commentaries on their work, a list of primary and secondary sources for further research, and several poems by each poet.
His purpose with the book is to celebrate the Oklahoma poets laureate and to exhume the work of those early poets whose books have been long out of print and inform Oklahomans of a small piece of their literary history.
Holliday started the research for his book in February 2011. He took on the project when he realized that no anthology of Oklahoma literature existed and that many citizens were unaware that Oklahoma even had a poet laureate.
"The Oklahoma Poets Laureate: A Sourcebook, History, and Anthology" was published in February of 2015 with the Twin Territories imprint of Norman's Mongrel Empire Press, an eclectic independent publishing house established in 2007 to make the best Oklahoma writing available to the general public.
Holliday's book costs $18 and is available for purchase at bookstores throughout Oklahoma, as well as on such sites as Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.
For more information contact Holliday at email@example.com or (580) 327-8589.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

A report from a five year study conducted in China by the Ministry of Environmental Protection has linked pollution to high cancer rates in regions throughout the country. Per a translation from the Beijing Times, the Twelfth Five-Year Plan for Prevention and Control of Environmental Risks From Chemicals states: "a clear demonstration that because of chemical poisoning, 'cancer villages' and other serious [threats to] social health have begun to emerge in many areas."
The language of the state report set a precedent for state media and Chinese authority as the term "cancer villages" had not been acknowledged or officially used until now. Researchers attributed chemicals, industrial waste, hazardous smog and other environmental triggers to the staggering rates of the often deadly disease within "cancer villages." The report furthered: "Poisonous and harmful chemical materials have brought about many water and atmosphere emergencies...certain places are even seeing 'cancer villages.'"
The most recent report follows a 2009 journalist's map highlighting "dozens" of areas where cancer rates were high which spurred massive regional and foreign media attention. The environmental ministry also admitted the country utilizes "poisonous and harmful chemical products" which "pose long-term or potential harm to human health and the ecology." These chemicals have been officially banned within developed countries yet continue to be used in China.
Wang Canfa, a lawyer who practices environmental law representing victims of pollution in Beijing, offered a statement regarding the report and the response of Chinese authorities. He stated: "It shows that the environment ministry has acknowledged that pollution has led to people getting cancer. It shows that this issue, of environmental pollution leading to health damages, has drawn attention."
