Not so long ago, any wireless evolution dubbed "next gen" mostly started and ended with new wireless access points and faster data rates. Everything upstream from the access point was fairly static, and much slower to evolve. Client devices got refreshed with faster radios, but authentication and encryption mechanisms crawled forward and a WLAN stayed mostly an accessory to the LAN for a lot of years. But those days are gone, and now next-generation enterprise mobility means much more, giving companies a wide range of choices.
In simplest terms, any comprehensive mobility strategy will involve Wi-Fi, mobile devices, role-based access, and will reflect the growing importance of ubiquitous connectivity. At the infrastructure level, next-gen wireless can be a single-vendor technology or a combination of different services from different vendors. It may have cloud elements, extensions of carrier networks, location and analytics services, and global reach. The options are many, reaching deeper into the corners of our business operations, regardless of what business we're in.
Today's WLAN systems might be cloud-managed with only access points to install, or could be controller-based with a rack full of management servers of various types riding shotgun. 802.11ac is the hot story right now, but even here the nuance of Wave 1 versus Wave 2 creates a need to weigh your options.
Then there is small cell technology, with which your WLAN system or dedicated hardware might help spread mobile networks deeper into your corporate premises if you have the demand. Increased mobility means more and newer devices on ceilings, walls, rooftops and poles. We all have common needs, but our final topologies might be quite varied.
At the device end of the next-generation mobile environment, we find a number of growing trends. Mobile device management (MDM) has become its own market, and a lot of money goes into the systems that manage what mobile endpoints are allowed to do. Mobile apps comprise a boom industry that dovetails with MDM, but don't require it. Apps can be "nice-to-haves," but can also be the engines that make a mobile workforce successful.
Beyond infrastructure and client device considerations, full-on productivity and collaboration suites and unified communications round out the more ambitious and integrated next-gen mobile environments. With both Ethernet and the desktop PC becoming increasingly irrelevant, the stakes get higher for robust mobile services. Then there all of the consumer-grade devices dragged onto the enterprise WLAN in the name of BYOD. Some will fit your organizational needs, and some will not, yet they all need to be managed as part of your mobile strategy.
[Get tips for buying the right WLAN in "How To Shop For A WLAN: 7 Steps."]
As you can see, it's a new day for mobility as wireless technologies take their place among most organizations' highest valued assets. Looking forward, among the hottest new layers to the mobility cake are analytics and location services. The data sets gleaned from wireless client devices moving around a wireless space have become supremely valuable in providing a wealth of information as WLAN owners -- especially in the retail space -- seek to leverage their infrastructure investment in innovative ways. Indoor mapping, iBeacons, and targeted services all help monetize the WLAN, and the many ways these can be used are just beginning to be tapped.
The same could be said for the use of social media credentials as a network login mechanism for mobile devices. Even non-retail and hospitality networks are finding value in going this route, although it can be controversial for a number of environments.
Hovering in the background of all these new developments in the mobile enterprise are security concerns, of which there are many. With mobile being used as the access method of choice for an increasing number of medical and financial applications, the importance of regulatory compliance can't be overstated, along with the raft of more traditional wireless security concerns. Wireless is everywhere, and where it goes, so does your organizational reputation. From wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) capabilities to client configuration management, there is much to be managed in order to secure the mobile side of your operations.
Overwhelmed? Next-generation enterprise mobility is a big topic. But you're not alone, and there's a lot of expertise out there to lean on. I'll talk about all of this and more in my session "From BYOD to 802.11ac: How to Build A Next-Generation Mobile Infrastructure" at Interop Las Vegas March 31-April 4. I hope to see you there!

9 Devices That Might Be A Waste Of Your Money
Hammacher SchlemmerAs deal hunters, it typically pays to buy slightly older devices in favor of tempting deals on newly released tech. But, of the aged and dated items we've spent money on, there are some electronics that are now approaching outright extinction and would make for silly purchases.
Some consumers may need the complete functionality of a point-and-shoot camera, for example, but for the majority of us, a smartphone already accomplishes everything we need.
So before you consider buying any of these items below, think long and hard about whether such a device is actually a redundant purchase and, thus, a big waste of your money.

Sebastien Buemi will drive a Red Bull Formula One car on ice at a demonstration in Montreal.
The event is being held to celebrate the return of the Canadian Grand Prix in 2010, after it was left off last season's calendar. Buemi will negotiate a special 2.5 mile layout on the frozen waters of the Olympic Basin, located at Parc Jean-Drapeau behind the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. The track will consist of straights, corners and open areas where he will show off a specially adapted car.
He won't be the first man to take an F1 car on ice. Nick Heidfeld went for a spin on a frozen lake in Switzerland in 2007 driving a BMW Sauber with studded tyres.

WICHITA — There aren't a whole lot of statement games on Wichita State's schedule this season.
Two of them are coming up in a matter of days.
The unbeaten Shockers are headed to Indiana State on Wednesday night, followed by a trip to Northern Iowa on Saturday. Those two teams are the closest contenders behind the fourth-ranked Shockers in the Missouri Valley race.
Perhaps more important, they're arguably the two teams with the best chance of dealing Wichita State (23-0, 10-0) a defeat before the start of the conference tournament March 6.

Filesystem duplication problem
Alright, I have an interesting filesystem duplication problem here. I've found a couple of plausible solutions, but I wanna run it by some people before I screw myself over.
I've got a Debian Sid/Windows Vista dual boot system set up on my rig. I use Linux 90% of the time, but need Windows for some games and stuff. Anyway, I'm trying to get the Ext2 IFS driver for windows to access my 2 linux partitions (/home and /), both ext3. Unfortunately, the default inode size is 256 and the windows driver requires it to be 128. There is no way to change the Inode size without reformatting the partition using
# mkfs.ext3 -I 128 /dev/sda1
I used Gparted Live to shrink my current home partition (lots of empty disk space right now cuz its a relatively new install) to roughly 1/2 its size. I made a new ext3 partition in the new empty space with the correct inode size. I then mounted the original as "/media/old" and the new one as "/media/new" all within the live cd. From there I did:
# cd /media/old
I could use the same technique for the root partition, but I've seen some sites that suggest using
# tar lcf - .|(cd /media/new; tar xpvf - )
I always use "CP -a ..." from a liveCD. tar would work just as well. If you're moving the (start of) partition, you'll need to fix grub - I always do that anyway, from the liveCD.
(must be a recent build to get bitten by the 256 inode change).

Shane Acker's feature version of his UCLA short – "9" – opens today in theatres nationwide. What did you think? This talkback is set up for our readers to discuss the feature. Only those who have seen the movie should comment below.
9 Talkback
By Jerry Beck | | 46
Barry McGuire
Saw a preview…Meh…it was much better as a short. The humans in the film are horrrrrrrrendous-looking as far as design and modeling are concerned.
It doesn't have your typical animation audience, so that is a good thing. BUT…it's not quite there.
Steve Gattuso
I thought the story was excellent and the characterization of the individual little puppets perfect. It wasn't the highest animation, but I'm a sucker for a good story.
Stuart L
The film was alright…the story had some cliches, although the *SPOILER* idea of the splitting souls was somewhat unique, but everything to do with the big robots taking over the world – cliche beyond belief. Aside from the astonishing robot design for the villain characters, and the scene with the bird robot, not much else great IMO can be said about 9. The main characters (perhaps their incredibly close likeness to one another for the most part) never really developed, and by the third act I kind of wish the movie had ended and felt no desire to see these characters go on. And how many times does a film need to reuse the foreboding "monster in the grass in extreme foreground" shot too?
Stephanie R.
It seemed like this was the kind of movie where there were too many hands involved in the development process so that the characters and story lacked cohesion. The characters personalities lacked depth, especially the main character 9, who seemed to have no clear motivation save for being the hero of the film. I found the plot and dialogue to be cliche and thoughtless, to the point where the films story was almost completely forgettable to me.
However, I will say that I thought the art and designs were beautiful and imaginative, this films real selling point. Being in animation myself, my views will most likely differ from the general audience for this film. However, in my opinion, it was not enjoyable.
The 'short' film 9 had thought, characterization and emotion in the story while I felt the feature film really lacked all of that. There were so many characters that you really didn't get attached to any of them. Not to mention the reveal of the whole soul/past moment was cliché and used humans and a glorified tape recorder – there had to be a much more creative way to bring that to the audience.
The look was nice looking though and the animation definitely has its moments, but as far as story goes if you want a good one you're better off watching the short.
I went to the screening expecting not to like the film and I was pleasantly surprised. I did enjoy it. It's finely crafted, it's got a very appealing look to it. Sure there's some holes in the story and there's some things I could nitpick (mostly cliche moments and I wanted the characters to be a little deeper) but it is a good ride. It's not a film I'd take my kids to (it does have a PG13 rating) but it is a film I'd recommend.
I thought that the movie was really good. I really liked the designs of the puppets. The end didn't tie things up as well as it could have and the spliting souls things was done better in Harry Potter, but all in all I liked it.
I truly want to see more animated stories intended for older audiences both in mood and in subject. There is always the threat of raised expectations to contend with and I am trying to take that into account. I applaud the risk of expanding the world conceived in Shane Acker's original short to fill a feature and I believe in that regard they pretty much succeeded. Some of the shots early in the picture were startling. Great compositions. The 'realism' could have been dialed back just a little bit more to avoid the uncanny quality to the human characters, but the world created was complete, pulled me in, and kept me there. No film is perfect but there are many great technical accomplishments that are completely transparent and therefor support the story. For me the most interesting and inspiring character was the fearless female character. Next most interesting where the twins. Something more unique in these characters than the others including the central character. All in all, I enjoyed it.
I enjoyed 9 quite a bit, although I have to agree, as it was mentioned, the characters weren't developed enough to get a feel for what most their motivations were and were more or less stock. I thought the pacing was great though after the first few minutes I was totally drawn into the film and the only time I was drawn out to remember I was watching a movie was when the humans would show up, CG humans are the worst type. The color pallet and compositions although a bit formulaic were all appealing.
"I truly want to see more animated stories intended for older audiences both in mood and in subject."
More like truly want to see more Western animated series intended for older audiences. I hated the adverts for this movie, the fact that any mature animated film has to be led with "Not your little brother's animated movie" in the US is so pathetically sad to me. "Mature" animated movies shouldn't be a gimmick, unfortunately our culture is set on believing ~cartoons~ are for children, thus things like "9" just get over-hyped for the gimmicky (in our culture's eyes) aspect of it.
mike G.
yes, the story was ok. Kinda wanted to see the main character 9 evolve more rather than be a cheerleader and motivational speaker. action scenes were awesome, sound effects and overall sound were excellent, but more than all of that i think its a great starting point for american action cartoon movies. (i know animation was done elsewhere). OVERALL, just go see it.better than most movies out there and why not support the animation artform that we all love, or else we wouldnt be reading this crap. the more money this movie makes,the more greenlights will be lit.
Haven't seen the movie, but I agree with zach: it was pretty embarassing to see "Not your little brother's animated movie."
9 was exactly like the trailers… just a little longer. I liked the short that came out years ago much better because it didn't need a story. I'm pretty critical and the visuals were just good for me not great. There wasn't much detail on the sets because everything is blurred out that's not right in front of the camera. I feel like the story and character development were half-assed and took a backseat to the mechanical animation. In the end I didn't care about any of the characters, and there were very few lighthearted moments. There is a story but it seemed contrived to me and they don't explain the dynamic between the characters.
That was an enjoyable film. Considering it came forth from a shortfilm I was happily surprised they extracted so much characters from it. The twins worked especially well, so did 6 and 2. 7 was fun as well. I mean, we`re talking numbers here but all I remember is their character. Not bad at all.
I'm agreeing with most people's assessments here. The story and the animation were very well crafted. But, I found the characters rather forgettable which left me cold. I wouldn't highly recommend this movie to anyone, but I do think that many of the people involved in creating it can be proud of a job well done.
Paul N
I have to disagree with those who didn't appreciate the marketing of the film as "not your little brother's animated film." We complain that animation isn't taken seriously in the U.S. and is perceived as a kid's "medium," but when a movie tries to set itself apart from that perception, we complain about that too. I think it's great that the ads stated up front that it's not a kiddie film – not only is it saying straight out that it's for older audiences, but maybe it'll blunt the complaints from parents who were "shocked" that an animated film had more mature content.
As to the film itself, it was a mixed bag. The look was great overall. The way the burlap texture compressed around character's mouths bothered me a lot, but I thought they got great expressions out of pretty simple faces. The story didn't grab me the way it did some folks here have said, but I was entertained throughout. My 20-year-old son went with me, and he's planning on going again with his friends tonight, so I guess that says a lot about reaching their target market.
Chuck Wilson
Nine was superb. Yes, the dialogue was a touch weak in two spots and they could've spent an extra 10 minutes to do a little more character development (with credits, the film is 79 minutes long). No argument there.
But all-in-all, the movie far exceeded my expectations. I was continually floored by the quality of the visuals, the modelling, lighting and animation. Shane Acker should be proud of what he and his team have put together. I hope that he takes the lessons that he's learned from 9, goes back and reviews 9 with a critical eye, then makes his next film even stronger. Am looking forward to seeing 9 several more times before it leaves the theatre!
Sam Filstrup
I enjoyed the film but it was far from perfect, the characters needed a bit more development. The overall story was nice but the way it was executed as a whole could have used a bit more polish. Still its a step forward to fighting the ever current of animation is just for kids.
ben colbourn
visually it was quite nice. have to agree about the story though, pretty lacking. and only 80 minutes! even for an animated feature, that's quite short.
The character design was fascinating and the art direction all made for a lot of great visuals. Nice action sequences and I liked that it wasn't a modern post-apocalyptic setting, it was more like an alternate reality WWII distopia.
But alas, the story and characters both left me disappointed. None of the characters had any kind of discernible arc or development, and they lacked depth. 9 is always so determined to save his friends and be brave, 1 is always so mean and inconsiderate. Why are they this way? Who knows.
They even hit my pet peeve too, when the protagonist does something so stupid and unmodivated the only reason the writers made him/her do it was to just have a story. It's easy to give the protag more credit, and just make the villains more badass in the process by making the beast awake the creator robot and kill 2. Seriously.
michael w
This was a horrible film. The aesthetic was par none, but pretty animation simply isn't enough to fuel a feature length film. A film like this is not going to help overcome the general stigmatized reception of animation in this country. This film gives the impression that animation is an industry run by kids who never grew up; the dialogue sounds like a fifth grader wrote it. I want to say nice things, but the only thing this film has going for it is it's look. Nothing more.
I'm glad that Focus Features is making this kind of film, but I was really disappointed in the story and at how little love it appeared had gone into its making. When you look at 9 and then look at Pinocchio, (unfair comparison maybe) you can see how much care they took to depict a person's first day on earth, versus 9 awakening to a harsh reality with almost all of his faculties fully functioning from moment one. The whole thing seemed far too cliche for adult audiences and I found myself accurately able to predict each step in the plot.
I have to say that this summer has been full of surprises both great and bad. I was convinced I would hate ponyo but thanks to my friend's nagging I saw it and was floored. 9 on the other hand… not so much. I feel so ripped off. I was waiting all summer for this film and my patience was awarded with a resounding meh. I don't know what happened at focus but this film did not feel finished. If animation is to get any real respect here we need something revolutionary. Something that makes Princess Mononoke look like Transformers 3. I know that's asking for a lot but if we're to change anything we need to demand better of ourselves as both artist as well as audience.
9 may not have been a great film, but I don't think that it was a bad film either. What I liked best about it was the fact that it was an animated film where the target audience were teens through adults. I just got back from the theatre, and the seats were about 80% filled, and everyone there was an adult. Animation seems to have this stigmatism associated with it where a large number of adults seem to think that if a film is animated than it must just be for kids. I remember raving about the Incredibles when it came out, and being told by someone who I recommended the film to that they wanted to see the film but they didn't have a kid to see it with.
Joe McCabe
The frustrating thing about this film — and it's so frustrating it hurts my soul — is that when it doesn't do all that well at the box office, Hollywood will blame its failure on the fact that it's aimed at older audiences. They'll never ever recognize that it's just not very good. Why? Because it takes work, requires thought, and usually involves some level of risk, for a studio to go find, or to greenlight, a good film. But if they blame their failure on the age demographic's disinterest, the solution is simple — just finance children's films, as you've always done. Problem solved!
One question: Just how many non-serialized short films out there having a successful feature-length adaptation?
I think the 2005 short simply doesn't have enough room story-wise to expand 9 times its original length. So, to fill the giant void it was inevitable that a formula has to be used. Also, it missed something that was possibly the main strength and charm of the short: the lack of dialogue! It was a pleasure to see characters miming through the film, but that wouldn't possibly work (technically and financially) with the feature film.
In a way, I found it to be like watching Seven Samurai starting from the intermission.
"9": downside: barely an hour long; ugly; so-so animation; huge plot hole near the end; abstruse. upside: nice visual effects; interesting character designs; some good action sequences and monsters. notes: definitely the gaspiest movie I've ever seen. Seriously, every ten seconds somebody's drawing a sharp breath, a bit odd considering the characters apparently have no lungs or throats. C+
I went to see 9 on 9-9-09 in theatre 9 in row 9 at the 9 pm showing.
…the movie was an overall disappointment to me. I thought the entire plot wasn't really there. You didn't grasp to any of the main cast, since none of them were put into detail, and overall, here were my character thoughts.
#1 – died – didn't care when he died, since he was a dick the whole movie, anyway.
#2 – died – didn't care when he died, since he died so early on that I didn't even get a chance to care about him.
#3 and #4 – didn't talk, and didn't do anything importaint, so I didn't care about them.
#5 – died – kind of cared, since I saw him throughout the whole movie, but I really didn't care that much.
#6 – died – he made drawings. who cares. died
#7 – Wow. This was the only character I even remotely cared about through the entire film. I mean, she was awesome, she could fight, and she appeared to have more of a story than any of the other characters. I kept hoping they would've just made a movie about her, but, meh, they didn't.
#8 – died – big dude. overall, he sucked, too. And there was something with a magnet…was he getting high, or was he masturbating? I have no idea. He died, and he as also a dick, so, whatever.
#9 – ah, the main character. BLAND. Jeez, I thought there'd at least be some personality in this character, but he has to be the most boring character I've ever seen. He doesn't even do anything, he's just "this is wrong, do what's right *run away*" God. His lack of personality makes everything seem so bland. Even when he temporarily dies, I didn't even care, because he was so BLAND. GOD.
Overall, with the exception of the visuals, which I thought looked fairly decent, and the overall character design, which I found interesting enough to go and see the movie, the whole character development + plot + bland performances kill this movie. No. Not just kill it, but kill it, burn it, bury it, urinate on it, unbury it, necrophilia all over it, and leave on top of it's grave. And it's sad too, because this could've been a good movie. It had the appearance of a good movie, and it's trailer (even though I saw everything in it within the first 20 minutes of the movie) was interesting enough to fake the overall quality of film making.
If you want to see it, go ahead, maybe you'll like it. Maybe you'll like crater sized plot holes and unappealing characters.
Sean Montgomery
Boy, you lot are harsh! I would have expected some more love here for a film which (whatever its narrative deficiencies) was a beautiful work of art, that has expanded the possibilities for computer animation.
9 was really not a good movie. But I could've watched it all day long.
The plot was absolute rubbish. It was essentially a series of fetch-quests, and the "revelations" in the story really didn't go anywhere. Example: when 9 discovers that the dolls are made of the scientist's soul split 9 ways. Ok, fine. So what? The movie treats this as if its something we should care about, but we never ever learn why this matters or what difference it makes.
And for all the fetching and monster fighting, nothing is ever really resolved or accomplished. The adverts made it sound like the dolls were on a "mission," but I'm confused as to what that mission was, exactly.
The story worked better as a short because it jumped right into the middle of 9's existence. We could believe that 9 and 5 were great friends in the short because we only saw the end of their time together–you naturally believed it because you saw how they acted to each other and you had to fill in their past yourself. In the film we see the entirety of 9 and 5's relationship, and its in no way interesting, deep or engrossing.
The story just sucked. That being said, this flick was a popcorn movie and what it did well, it did EXTREMELY well. And in my opinion, that was action and aesthetics.
The dolls' designs were unique and interesting (although not much improved from the short). The real stars of the show, though, were the robots. They were creepy and 100% unique and an absolutely joy to look at. If the movie had just showed me those robots running around doing shit for 79 minutes, I probably would've been completely satisfied.
The backstory behind the movie's apocalypse world was cliched, thoughtless and boring (robots turning against man! whooooa!), yes, but the world itself was fantastic. I would've been happy just watching the dolls rummage around exploring the place, honestly.
But what really made the flick enjoyable was the fact that when a robot showed up and tried to eat the dolls, I forgot about the mindless story and the fact that I didn't care about the characters or their endless queue of fetch quests. The action scenes were really top-notch, and I felt like I could've watched them all day long.
It was pretty clear that the movie had no idea what to do between those action scenes (that "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" scene was downright PAINFUL), but when it mixed a doll with a robot, it very quickly found its footing. I just found myself wishing I could fast-forward through all the time it wasted trying to tell me its "story."
Bottom-line: guilty-pleasure, a stupid animated action-flick. The disappointment comes from thinking about what they COULD have done with the potential they had here, and didn't. But at least I had fun with most of it.
And for what its worth, I cast my lot with those who think 9 is GOOD for animation, even if its not a good movie itself.
Paul N – Still haven't seen it, but the trailer ("not your little brother's animated movie") doesn't imply that it's for older audiences, but that it's for older KIDS. Unless your parents are superhuman breeders, the odds are that if you are an adult, your little brother is at least almost an adult as well. How old can you be if he's still watching kiddie animation?
What makes zach and I sad is not that this was said, but that it needed to be said. Yes, this is yet another indication of animation's kiddie status, but it also represents a problem with the film itself, or at least its trailer. It looks like it's for people who are exactly 12. You can stamp your feet and scream til your throat is hoarse that it's for adults, but the trailer is clearly a kid magnet.
I agree with many here. For me, the effort to progress the story plot hindered any character development. It was always about what needed to be done with no care to who they were.
I appreciate the big reveal at the end, but with a story so dense and serious, I think the big reveal of the character's origins is what did this film in. It was the best and worst aspect for the film. It was great for story but horrible for the characters. I think the audience needed to see humanity in the characters at the beginning of the film, not the end.
I couldn't help but feel like I was playing a video game with all the short cinematic scenes for dialogue in-between the bigger, badder monster attack levels.
I give it a 4 out of 10.
I just got back from seeing 9 and am, quite honestly, dumbstruck at some of the comments here.
I enjoyed it and I think a lot of the comments here are MUCH to hard on it.
Not every animated film needs jive talking donkeys, a half a dozen fart jokes or anthropomorphic tableware.
Like The Nightmare Before Christmas, 9's story and pacing aren't perfect but, like The Nightmare Before Christmas, I'm willing to accept that in order to enjoy an hour or so of some really imaginative animation with a break from hackneyed celebrity voice work and music by Randy Newman.
Rather than tear the film to shreds for what it ISN'T why don't we try to focus on the positives and be really thankful for not only WHAT it is, but also THAT it is.
No one says that you have to LOVE it but churning out unnecessarily severe word of mouth will only result in fewer opportunities for more of this kind of animated feature down the road.
If you are hoping for more Coraline, Iron Giant or Persepolis don't work so hard to kill 9 before the weekend even gets here.
I enjoyed watching it. It was visually interesting.
But by the time it got to the end of the credits, the fridge logic kicked in and it occurred to me that there were a lot of things that made no sense to me…
like what on earth are four sack people made up of four 9ths of a scientist's soul are supposed to do on a deserted planet… can they die of natural causes?
Wow, I agree, you lot are really harsh!
I'm so excited there is finally an animated film out for my kind of audience. The kind too young for certain genres, but waaaayyy too old for the typical garbage that constantly comes out in 3D. This was so different and unique… And yeah, the story was kinda slow and the characters were simple and cliche'. But you know what? I'll take it! I felt like I was watching a fellow animator like myself personally made it on their own desktop. I felt like I was watching an intimate look at what can happen when a small idea can grow into something big and beautiful. It's like a painting, you can't over-analyze it otherwise you miss the greatest part of it. The fact that something gorgeous was made in the first place.
I loved the mood, I loved the simplicity. I would gladly pay another 11 bucks to see it again than to have to sit through another SHREK. This gives me a ton of inspiration for me to continue working on my own stuff. Maybe if more animated films come out like this, and even better than this, perhaps more creative minds like Shawn Acker could be taken seriously by the big shots in Hollywood. And finally the stereotype of animated films being childish will dissipate from the general audience of America.
One can dream, right? xD
It sure was brown.
Saw it…liked it quite a lot. The story wasn't anything to write home about, but it wasn't crap, either. It was good enough for me, anyway.
Stunning visuals…real eye-candy, and the characters were interesting enough, if not fully fleshed out as some have said. What really got to me in particular was how genuinely spiritual the film was. I won't say more than that out of fear of setting off some kind of religious debate, but that's how it hit me, anyway.
I also noticed that, for me, the film kept getting better as it went along. It started out just okay, and by the end I was ready to buy another ticket and see it again. Too bad it was the final show of the evening!
All-in-all, I'd certainly recommend it to anyone who was interested in the trailer, and jut say go with an open heart and mind and you'll really like it.
Enjoyed watching it, but agree that the story was paper thin. Plus I kept getting distracted by the painfully obvious homages…Alien here, War of the Worlds there, the Matrix here, Omega Man there…and the whole outrunning an explosion thing…really didn't need to see another one of those scenes. I'm going to assume the opening's close resemblance to the opening of Coraline was just a coincidence.
I didn't mind the Over the Rainbow sequence so much, but maybe if a differently toned setpiece like that had come along a little earlier in the film as a break from the brown string of action scenes I might have felt a little better about the film overall. And as for logic holes, why didn't they go back to the inventor's workshop a lot sooner? Well, I know why, it would have ended the story a lot sooner. Frankly, I found the length just fine for this film, although by the end I felt like I'd just spent four hours solving Myst puzzles with a bunch of burlap dolls.
Before 9 was created, the scientist left him notes on how to destroy the Brain… but the Brain wasn't even alive when 9 was born – 9 was the one who resurrected him. When 9 sees their enemy trying to insert the soul device into a machine… he does the same?? These two huge plot holes left me feeling empty about the story, but still impressed with the idea and the visuals.
All of humanity (and thus empathy) is destroyed – what's the difference to me if little dolls or robots take it? What if brain was just really ambitious? :)
If one dollar = one vote, I'll still see it multiple times to assure Hollywood they can safely finance another animation with adult themes. Otherwise, it's more kid stuff from everyone besides Pixar.
*HUGE Spoilers ahead*
I did enjoy the movie, but I really felt that a majority of the film ended up on the cutting room floor. Or at the very least things were cut from the main story arc. The sad thing about the movie was the ending, it literally was a replaying of the original short's conclusion.
When it came to the conclusion to the film I really thought the movie could have gone two ways, I was hoping it was going to go one way but it ended up with what I would call 'lackluster' funeral ending – a which was the third way (and the one I really wasn't happy to see because it just seemed like a rehash of the original short).
The hint that I thought the movie was going to go a completely different way than I originally thought was when Number 6, the slightly befuddled character, calling for going back to the "source" and then revealing that all those dolls that have been absorbed are still inside the machine before he literally sacrifices himself to The Machine. When 9 finally goes back to the 'first room' and is told about The Machine and what it lacks is a human soul – I thought 'ahhh this shall be interesting'… For I thought "it makes sense now, why 9 had to up and do the idiot thing of activating The Machine…"
In my mind the dolls were supposed to be absorbed, 9 being the last to be absorbed so he could press the sequence, which in my minds eye would bring a soul to The Machine – the only creature in this movie that seemed to be capable of creating a form of life in this world. As we know that is not how that movie went.
Then again I thought 'well they can return the other dolls to their bodies' – nope got the funeral ending… Kind of a let down I know…
The problem though is, exactly how does 'humanity' continue? Sure the dolls have souls, and morally bound to the 'human experience' but other than that, the world is dead. These dolls cannot (from my understanding) continue and populate the world, they lack the ability of creating life, they are alive yes… but unlike The Machine, they cannot procreate in a manner of speaking.
The movie ends on a note of a death of a species and a death of a planet. You get the idea that rain has not fallen since the great war, but other than that, what good will it do? Plants may begin to grow, yet with no other life on the planet – what's the point? The dolls will have their garden of Eden… but they will not continue life. They embody the human spirit yes, but they are the last chapter – unless they are able to procreate.
If what 9 was created to do, was simply to destroy the machine, then how the hell did the device get out of the machine in the first place? That is a major hole in this story. You feel sorry to a certain extent for The Machine and the scientist who created it for good. But why was The Machine collecting the dolls, other than to kill them and absorb their bits of souls? There didn't seem to be any form of benefit it gained… Again it made me feel that my original thought before the closing credits – that The Machine was supposed to absorb the souls, and that 9 was supposed to be the last soul to be absorbed thus creating a full soul within The Machine. It would have been tragic, but it would have allowed the idea of 'life continuing' if The Machine finally had a purpose, that of creating life anew…
TM you've summed it up the best. The ending really served no purpose. I found myself asking the same questions what was the point.
You would think with the amount of development time put into the film, that your proposed solution would have been the solution but no.
Having "9" make the difficult decision of convincing the other to sacrifice themselves for the greater good of life would have made a better ending.
How will life go on?
Simply existing with no purpose?
How will this deviation of mankind reproduce?
Or will this be the central conflict for a sequel.
I just returned from a screening of "9" and although I agree with many of the previous comments regarding story and character development, I found the film to be quite entertaining. It had a paltry running time of 79 minutes but moved at a brisk pace and I never got bored. However, when it was over, I had the strangest feeling that I had only watched part of the film—something was missing—and I wanted to see more. I found the characters to be endearing and the universe created quite foreboding. Sure, there's plenty to criticize but just as much to admire. I'm glad I saw it, I would recommend it and I would probably see it again. It will surely be sitting on my shelf when the Blu-ray disc is released.
I enjoyed the movie overall. It's true the graphics weren't as polished in some places (the backgrounds tended to be a bit fuzzy and the human models were done rather poorly) but it's a smaller studio and the graphics were great where it counted– in the main characters and the evil robots. That baby-snake robot in particular is one of the scariest things I've seen in ages. The Brain's design was a little less creative– part HAL 9000, mostly Gohma from Zelda, but still effective.
Of course the plot holes were obvious– robot apocalypse! But since it was mostly a backdrop for the story I didn't mind. However, you would think that the Brain would have been the first thing targeted and the one thing most thoroughly destroyed, not simply left dormant in a warehouse somewhere. (Or failing that, take away the little gem the scientist was using and destroy it so the Brain couldn't wake).
I would have liked a little more background on the characters. Why was 9 such an automatic leader? Why did he stupidly use the "source" to awaken the Brain? I wanted to know more about 7 and the Twins in particular, but we never really got much more information. I also found myself wondering if 9 might not have been more interesting if he hadn't gained his voice and had to resist silently.
Finally, I was rather confused at the ending. Was I the only one who thought they could just shove the doll souls back into their bodies (or make new bodies) and move on? I mean, I guess their souls "revitalized" the world because it started raining liquid life or something…. but that doesn't actually help the stitchpunks. What ARE they going to do now? I'd like a little more of a suggestion than just "well, I dunno."
Still, it was a fun movie with interesting characters… it just needed a little more to really develop the potential.
James E. Parten
Chuckles Gardner and I went to see "9" yesterday. I am sorry to say that neither of us were particularly enthused over it.
Story opens very slowly. In fact, the somnolent properties reminded us, in retrospect, of the worst excesses of "Wall-E" (another film that left us underwhelmed). Both of us actually dozed off in early sequences of the film. That is ot a good sign. IF a movie does notengage withn the first five minutes, then it is in trouble already!
Subsequent action sequences kept us awake, but the characers wee of purest cardboard, and were aot as one-diensional as a iece of cardboard. Nobody/s character develop in a believable manner.
Voice talent was okeh. But that is the easiest thig to do i an aniated feature, regardless of whether it'shand-drawn, CGI or stop-motion. ACtors do their work rofessionally, but without real distinction. And it's a shame that they didn't have better material to work with!
Visuals were this films strong suit. But eye-candy alone cannot save a picture that does not have a good story or good chaacters.
There is a real howler in this fillum, and it's one that only a handful of record-collecors (such as myself) would appreciate. When Nine and the other survivors come upon an old wind-up gramophone, and Three and Four begin running on the turntable to get it started (a gag
that I seem to remember from a German short of the 1940's), the
record playing is Judy Garland's version of "Over The Rainbow". Yet the label shown is a Victor label (a firm for which Garland never recorded), using a design that Victor had abandoned two years before the song came out in the score of "The Wizad Of Oz".
One mark of a picture's worth is whether it "sells the DVD". "9", unfortunately, does not!
The film was alright, i like the second half much more, the stroy got stronger. But overall, the best scene was the Somewhere over the rainbow, sequence
Wow. We seem to be getting into some pretty particular details that involve elite levels of knowledge on unique subjects. I can't comment on Victor labels, or recording contracts from the 30s or 40s.
All in all I enjoyed the film. I suggests the 'piling on' that seems to be getting pretty particular is not addressing this original post.
Just sayin'.

A simple head of trevisio, resplendent with its dramatic patterns of purple and white, dressed for salad, can make a culinary soul happier than just about anything one could eat. This is a treasured, unusual and flavorful green. It's best to buy the whole head, as it loses its distinctive character in a pre-cut bagged mix.
In what would be a drastic reversal of culinary trend, this flavor may soon disappear, along with locally grown, seasonal greens like lolla rossa, curly endive and arugula – and just when Americans are finally rediscovering how good they are for our farmers, our health and our culinary inspiration. Let the alarm bell ring, because we are on the edge of losing these wonderful varieties brought to our plates by the small and determined family farmer.
It's the latest threat to our palates by big agricultural interests. The Western Growers Association (www.wga.com) recently implemented a uniform set of growing standards called the Leafy Green Marketing Agreement in its effort to recover from the spinach E. coli outbreak of 2006.
Sounds sensible, doesn't it? Protecting our salads from contamination?
But the devil is in the details. If the new farming production standards become mandatory for all leafy green growers, small farmers who worked for decades to bring back these flavors could be forced to stop growing leafy greens. The agreement can and should apply standards to large industrial producers, who process mountains of pre-cut, bagged leafy greens, to keep that product safe. But it should not apply to the small farmers who sell loose greens directly to farmers markets, chefs and companies like Bon Appetit Management Company, who prefer to buy from small local producers. These small farmers have no connection to the processed industry and are least likely to be the cause of any major outbreak of food contamination.
The Community Alliance with Family Farmers recommends that practical and environmentally sound food safety guidelines for all farms, including those that grow leafy greens, be developed. Guidelines are being drafted with assistance from the University of California-Davis. These alternative guidelines are to be used by small and traditional family farms to ensure feasible standards for safety. So you can eat your salad greens from small farms with confidence.
The Community Alliance (www.caff.org) recently analyzed data provided by the FDA that leaves small farms clean of blame. It shows that since 1999, 98.5 percent of E. coli outbreaks in leafy greens in California have been traced to processed bagged salad. These products have a higher potential for contamination because of centralized washing and packaging of mixed produce from different farms. Pre-cut salads are then placed into sealed plastic bags, which may create an ideal environment for bacterial growth. The Leafy Greens Marketing Agreement should focus on these higher-risk producers and not the traditional sell-direct farmers who grow fresh greens.
Bon Appetit Management Company is against these growing standards. As with all people who love diversity of the palate, we are concerned about the impact on flavor and sustainable farming practices. We purchase over $55 million worth of local products annually for our 400 cafes in 28 states, working extremely hard to establish, encourage and increase the connections among our chefs, local farmers and the people we feed. How much additional effort will it take for us to keep these local, seasonal flavors on the plates in our cafes?
This week, Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., withdrew a proposed amendment to the Farm Bill that would have made these standards national. This was a narrow escape from a dire threat to greens lovers coast-to-coast. Still, the threat remains.
Raise a fork during the public comment period, and let the USDA know you are against a federal Marketing Agreement. The public comment period closes on Dec. 3. Tell the Department of Agriculture that you want that trevisio from small local farmers on your table, that the Leafy Green Marketing Agreement hurts the farmers you want to buy from, and that it should not be on the menu.
FEDELE BAUCCIO is CEO of Bon Appetit Management Company. He wrote this article for the Mercury News.

We are just one day away from the Cactus League opener, and there is a new arrival at the Padres' camp. Alex Torres, who was acquired in the trade that sent Logan Forsythe to Tampa Bay, finally arrived in Peoria today. Torres was having visa issues, and was forced to stay in his home country of Venezuela while spring training started without him.
"He's excited to be a Padre; he's pumped to be here," Bud Black said. "He's been throwing in Venezuela, so he's not that far behind."
More tidbits from Blacks' morning briefing:
- INF Jonathan Galvez is "making progress" and will hopefully be back full strength in the next couple days. Black said there is an "outside chance of (him) maybe getting in there tomorrow" but will do some running today.
- The pitchers to throw on Friday after starter Andrew Cashner were announced today: Juan Oramas, Tim Stauffer, Joaquin Benoit, Joe Ross, Joe Wieland and Leonel Campos, in no particular order. Ian Kennedy will start Saturday and Tyson Ross will pitch one of the split-squad games Sunday.
- The starting pitchers had a bunting competition to kick off the start of the day. Cashner beat out Keyvius Sampson in a tiebreaker to take home the bragging rights. Many players came to watch the competition and cheered and heckled the bunters, and it made for an exciting environment.

Brownfield has been selected as a new site for a program that provides advocates for abused and neglected children after a year in which that area recorded more than double the state average of such crimes.
Last year, almost 27 children per 1,000 were confirmed victims of abuse and neglect in the Brownfield area. For Texas generally, the per-thousand rate was about 11 confirmed victims.
Initially, Brownfield's Court Appointed Special Advocates office will operate on a part-time basis: from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Thursdays at 202 W. Broadway, according to Amy Paiva, executive director of the Lubbock-based CASA of the South Plains organization.
New CASA office
Where: 202 W. Broadway in Brownfield.
Hours: 9 a.m.-5 p.m. on Thursdays initially.
Brownfield information: (806) 637-3155.
Confirmed abused and neglected children in Terry County: 26.7 children for each 1,000.
Confirmed child abuse rate in other counties served by CASA of the South Plains: Cochran, 13.3 per 1,000; Yoakum, 13.3 per 1,000; Hale, 17.7 per 1,000; Lubbock, 19.7 per 1,000; and Hockley, 24.8 per 1,000.
Confirmed child abuse rate for Texas: 10.8 per 1,000.
Volunteer information: Lubbock, 763-2272; Brownfield, (806) 637-3155.
She also has been placed in charge of the Brownfield office and will be assisted by one staff member plus current volunteers in Terry County.
"Last year there were about 50 kids from Brownfield and Terry County who were in foster care. We had just a handful of volunteers helping us with those kids, and our hope is that by opening an office here, we will have more of a presence and more hometown ownership. Hopefully, we can get some people interested in volunteering and being here for them when they are ready," she said.
"We recruit and train volunteers to advocate on behalf of children who have been abused or neglected and are trying to navigate their way through the foster care system."
According to Paiva, the training of volunteers requires 30 hours. "It's a lot of information, but we feel like it is important to really train our volunteers before we ask them to take on a case."
The CASA volunteers represent the interests of abused children by operating as the eyes and ears of the court.
"There are judges who have to make life decisions for these kids. He needs all the information he can get to make the decisions," she said.
On the Net
"We know what we are doing works, because the kids we work with spend less time in foster care, and that's the ultimate goal. Foster care is absolutely necessary, but it wasn't set up to be long-term. We have way too many kids growing up in foster care."

Tesla CEO Elon Musk: Hydrogen Fuel Cell Cars are "Bulls**t"
Tiffany Kaiser

Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
He said the best hydrogen fuel cell technology doesn't compare to the energy density of lithium-ion batteries
Tesla Motors
CEO Elon Musk has made his view on hydrogen fuel cell cars clear: they're bullshit.
In a a speech at a new Tesla service center in Germany, Musk told employees and enthusiasts that those who oppose electric vehicles (EV) but are onboard with new technology like hydrogen fuel cell cars need to know that it's more of a marketing gimmick than a real clean energy solution.
"And then they'll say certain technologies like fuel cell … oh god … fuel cell is so bullshit. Except in a rocket," said Musk.
More specifically, Musk said that even the best hydrogen fuel cell technology doesn't compare to the energy density of lithium-ion batteries, such as that found in Tesla's Model S.
Check out the video below for Musk's comments, which start at the 29-minute mark:
Musk may hold this opinion because his company only offers EVs for the time being, but not all automakers feel that hydrogen fuel cell is a waste of time.
Earlier this month, Toyota said it was
passing up EVs
in favor of more hybrids and its first hydrogen fuel cell release in 2015. According to Toyota Chairman Takeshi Uchiyamada, EV batteries need at least two major breakthroughs before they can replace gasoline or hybrid vehicles.
"The reason why Toyota doesn't introduce any major [all-electric product] is because we do not believe there is a market to accept it," said Uchiyamada. "I personally expect a lot from this hydrogen fuel cell technology. If government and industry work together, this might be part of the long-term solution."
Back in July, General Motors (GM) and Honda announced that they'd
team up for fuel cell vehicle technology
as well. They hope to commercialize the technology by 2020.
However, GM still has a foot in the EV market as well. In fact, it wants to directly compete with Tesla by offering
a 200-mile affordable EV
. Tesla said it is working on a new vehicle with the same range, which aims to be more affordable than the current Model S. GM is also gunning for Tesla with
luxury Cadillac EVs
Others onboard with Musk's love for EVs is Volkswagen, which wants to
lead the EV market by 2018
starting with the eGolf and eUp!, and Nissan, which has upped its EV efforts by cutting purchase and lease prices of the all-electric Leaf and even
offering free charging for a year
to Leaf owners in Texas (and eventually other states).
Tesla is certainly a superpower in the EV startup realm. The company successfully paid off its $465 million government loans nine years early, pulled
a surprise profit
for Q2 2013 with a revenue of $405.1 million, unveiled new tech for its Model S (swappable battery tech) and the Model S even snagged the
highest safety rating
from the NHTSA. It makes sense that Musk would try to keep this momentum going by advocating EVs over hydrogen fuel cells.
"We're Apple. We don't wear suits. We don't even own suits." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

"Blind Hatred" and the Destruction of the Second Temple
Jerusalem and the Temple
The Great Revolt against the Romans in 66-70CE was also a consequence of years of internal strife among Jews. Clearly this uprising represented a different war for different segments of the Jewish people.

QuickBooks will help you decide which forms to use based how you receive funds from donors and clients. It's not uncommon for nonprofits to use a combination of these forms, and it's
likely you may want to use all of these forms.
What form(s) should I use?
Many nonprofits may find they use each of the different forms QuickBooks offers.
Use a donation receipt or sales receipt when your donors give you full payment at the time of donation.
This receipt can
be used by your donors for tax purposes.
Use a statement to send your donors a statement of charges or to remind them to make a regular
payment. You can also use a statement to as a reminder when a donor hasn't paid an outstanding pledge form or invoice.
Use a pledge form—also called an invoice in QuickBooks—to track funds donors have committed
to paying you, and to request payment
for these
funds. You would also use an invoice to bill a donor or client when you've provided a service for fee.
When would nonprofits use a donation receipts?
When would nonprofits provide statements, bills, or invoices for payment?

Artist and writer Douglas Coupland is an accumulator. He gathers objects the way a small boy collects hockey cards.
Over the years, these objects were placed in banker's boxes, which grew like a Lego city in his home studio.
On Thursday, the library at the University of British Columbia announced it had acquired Mr. Coupland's papers, a voluminous and fascinating collection now available to researchers.
Among the treasures is the first draft of the novel Generation X, the title of which became a catchphrase for those who, like the 48-year-old author, were born in the shadow of self-obsessed baby boomers. The opening page of the draft, written in tidy cursive in blue ink, includes the author's annotations and revisions.
The archive is stored in 122 boxes featuring 30 metres of text and graphic material. It includes 30 objects, 40 audio and videocassettes, and 1,425 photographs, among them a Polaroid snapshot of Terry Fox's artificial leg. (The prolific author's credits include a non-fiction book about Mr. Fox's aborted cross-Canada run.)
The author himself can be seen in another photograph wearing a red plastic hat made popular by the band Devo.
"I was feeling like I was on that TV show Hoarders," Mr. Coupland said Thursday. "The excuses people gave for keeping an old empty Styrofoam cup were the same reasons I was using for holding on to stuff. It was a wake-up moment.
"The moment it was out the door, I felt a thousand pounds lighter."
Most of the material dates from the last 30 years, during which time the author's works went from handwritten drafts to computer files. Some of the collages were posted online in the earliest days of the World Wide Web when the "Internet was like a paved road, just three blocks long."
Researchers will no doubt delight in Mr. Coupland's pack-rat tendencies.
The Vancouver university considers the donation, for which the author receives an undisclosed tax break, as the "first step in a broad engagement with an important Canadian intellect," president Stephen Toope said in a statement.
Specialists in art, English and communications are expected to make the most use of the archive.
"It is quite a coup for us," said Ralph Stanton, head of rare books and special collections for the university's library. "He's in the Canadian intellectual tradition starting from Harold Innis through to Marshall McLuhan."
As it turns out, the collection includes a letter from Mr. McLuhan's son. (The author wrote a biography of Mr. McLuhan for Penguin's Extraordinary Canadians series.)
The library received the archive 18 months ago after several years of gentle entreaties and, finally, serious negotiations.
The material also includes fan mail and gifts; a moist towelette promoting the novel Microserfs; a letter from his mother, Janet, and a postcard from writer Julian Barnes; statements written on a series of Post-It notes; and, such ephemera as menus, ticket stubs and car-maintenance receipts.
One suspects academics will make greater use of the page clipped from the Star supermarket tabloid that became the seed for the novel Miss Wyoming.
The papers include correspondence with Tom Wolfe, William S. Burroughs and R.E.M. singer Michael Stipe; press clippings from French, Italian and German newspapers; annotated reading copies from his book tours for Jpod, Hey Nostradamus, All Families Are Psychotic and Girlfriend in a Coma; and the unpublished novel 1991, later renamed The Day the Muzak Died.
Mr. Coupland was surprised to learn the archives include his Christmas wish list from 1973. He has not seen it in some time, but suspects it included a request for Lego.
He will continue to hand over his papers and other materials in the years to come.
Mr. Coupland, who is to receive an honorary degree from the university next week, said the difficulty in handing over his stuff is tempered by the knowledge that it will still be available on campus.
"It's not like it's gone forever," he quipped. "I can go look at it if I want."

Denis Chartier, who had spent 16 seasons in two stints on the Brown women's soccer coaching staff, was found dead in a parked car in a commuter parking lot
on Saturday after being reported missing almost three weeks earlier.
Chartier had been last seen by his family members on the morning of Feb. 5 and then went to Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut. There was no evidence of criminal activity, according to Margaret Klawunn, Brown University's vice president for campus life and student services.
Charter, 56, worked under Brown head coach Phil Pincince, a classmate at Woonsocket High School where they were both captains.
"Denis was a valued member of the Brown community for more than 15 years," said Klawunn in an email to the Brown community. "He will be remembered for his commitment to coaching and for his many contributions to soccer, athletics and campus life."

Secret love affairs are the stuff of both great literature and seedy soap operas. When we think of illicit lovers, we think of knowing looks in a crowded room, hurried exchanges when no one else is looking and sex. Lots of sex. Dr. Scott Haltzman, a professor at Brown University and author of "The Secrets of Happily Married Men" and "The Secrets of Happily Married Women" offers these five red flags of electronic infidelity:
- Private phone calls — If he quietly slips into another room and shuts the door just to answer his cell phone, be suspicious. Unless he is trying to hide something from you, his conversations should be public.
- Erased history — Check her cell phone. If she frequently erases her incoming text messages and the call list on her phone, pay attention. Most of us are not that meticulous that we regularly erase lists of our calls. Doing so is a strong indication someone is sending her messages that she doesn't want you to read.
- Private access — If he has just changed his password or e-mail address or changed something that denies you access you once had, it could be a sign he has a lover. By their very nature, electronic affairs rely on technology, and e-mail is at the top of the list. When married couples are open and honest with one another, they don't hide their e-mail accounts from each other.
- Powering down — You walked into the room unexpectedly. Did she quickly turn off the computer? Internet chat rooms are an effective and common way to establish intimacy. Anything she wants to chat about online is something she should share with you and not hide from you.
- Late night log-ons — If he stays up long past your bedtime working on the computer, do check the computer's "history" the next morning. If it's been erased, be suspicious. Electronic affairs don't always include face-to-face meetings; instead, e-cheaters meet online or visit pornographic sites that offer live chat.

I have a 30 year old brother (I'm 31) and he has lost almost all use of his hands now. He has to be fed, etc. If there is a new treatment, such as the space suit, why isn't if available here? Also, my parents would never discuss it with me, but is there a life span for those with CP, or is it like everyone else? I'd appreciate any information.Thanks,Suzanne

The Cable
September 22, 2011
The Obama administration formally notified Congress and announced details of its decision to sell Taiwan a new $5.8 billion package of arms, which includes an upgrade package to Taiwan's existing fighter jets — but not the new F-16 jets it had requested.
"The recipient is one of the major powers in Asia and the Western Pacific and a key partner of the United States in ensuring peace and stability in that region," stated the notification on the website of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, where foreign military sales are posted. "It is in the U.S. national interest to assist the recipient in developing and maintaining a strong and ready self-defense capability, which will contribute to an acceptable military balance in the area."
The bulk of the arms package is made up of $5.3 billion worth of retrofits for Taiwan's 145 F-16 A/B jet fighters.

Lille coach Rudi Garcia would love to re-sign Liverpool outcast Joe Cole. The 30-year-old has struggled to establish himself in Brendan Rodgers' plans this term and was criticised for his performance in last week's Capital One Cup defeat to Swansea.
Garcia admits they could not afford to sign Cole on a permanent basis on the summer, but would love to bring him back to Lille.
"Joe is not only a great person, but also a great footballer. But financially it was not possible to save him," Garcia told RMC.
"This can be prohibitive for the return of Joe to Lille. Sportingly and humanly, I'd love to see him back."

About the Speaker:
Constance H. Weber is a member of Kay Casto & Chaney PLLC where she practices primarily in the area of Employment Law. She is also a member of the firm's Insurance/Litigation, Alternative Dispute Resolution, Commercial, and Health Care Practice Groups. She leads the firm's associate, marketing and recruitment committees.
As part of her practice, Ms. Weber regularly advises West Virginia employers as to the implementation of employment policies and procedures as well as their application to specific personnel related issues. She frequently addresses employers as well as other members of the West Virginia bar on such topics as employee selection and termination, the Family and Medical Leave Act, and wage and hour laws. She has tried several discrimination cases on behalf of employers in West Virginia in the various counties located throughout the state as well as before state and federal agencies.
About the Program:
This presentation will help guide HR Professionals in the most effective, thorough and civil ways to terminate an employee without further exacerbating an already unpleasant situation.
There is no easy way to fire an employee. However, there is wrong way to do it. And current WV case law allows a jury to disregard any interim or replacement wages earned by an employee who alleges she is wrongfully and maliciously terminated when awarded damages at trial.
At the end of this session, HR Professionals will understand (1) how to effectively investigate employee misconduct and performance issues; (2) how to design disciplinary and termination procedures and systems that enhance productivity and moral ; and (3) how hasty and/or mismanaged terminations translate into adverse legal outcomes.

FDA Finally Approves Pfizer & BMS' Stroke Prevention Drug
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Pfizer and Bristol-Myers Squibb's Eliquis® (apixaban) to reduce the risk of stroke and systemic embolism in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation. In June of 2012, Pfizer and BMS failed to to win FDA approval for the drug; the agency requested additional information on data management and verification from the Phase III Aristotle trial, but didn't ask for the completion of any new studies. This annoucement comes one week after the drug was approved in Japan for the aforementioned conditions, and a little over a month after it was approved in Europe for the same.
Eliquis is an oral Factor Xa inhibitor anticoagulant. According to the firms, by inhibiting Factor Xa, a key blood clotting protein, Eliquis can decrease thrombin generation and blood clot formation. The Eliquis clinical trial program was designed to evaluate risk reduction of stroke or systemic embolism in nonvalvular atrial fibrillation patients; it included two Phase II studies—Aristotle and Averroes—in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation and at least one additional risk factor for stroke. Aristotle evaluated Eliquis versus warfarin in 18,201 patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who were suitable for warfarin therapy, and Averroes evaluated Eliquis versus aspirin in 5,598 patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation who were considered unsuitable for treatment with warfarin.
According to the firms, in Aristotle, Eliquis was superior to warfarin in the primary efficacy endpoint of stroke or systemic embolism, with a 21% relative risk reduction beyond warfarin (1.27%/year versus 1.60%/year, HR=0.79, p=0.01). In Averroes, Eliquis was superior to warfarin in the key secondary endpoint of all-cause mortality, with an 11% relative risk reduction (3.5%/year versus 3.9%/year, HR=0.89, p=0.046), primarily because of a reduction in cardiovascular death, particularly stroke deaths. Nonvascular death rates were similar in the treatment arms.
"With a population that is living longer, the prevalence of nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is increasing, but many patients are still not being managed effectively with warfarin," said Christopher Granger, M.D., professor of medicine at Duke Clinical Research Institute, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, N.C., and Aristotle lead investigator. "Eliquis represents a significant advance over warfarin for health care professionals to reduce the risk of stroke in patients with nonvalvular atrial fibrillation."
Eliquis is expected to be widely available in the U.S. by the end of January 2013.

Does Energy Consumption Fuel Economic Growth In India?
Whether energy use drives economic growth or vice versa in the Indian context during the period 1970-71 to 2004-05 is examined. Utilizing the Granger causality test, the study suggests that it is the economic growth that fuels more demand for both crude oil and electricity consumption and it is the only growth of coal consumption that drives economic growth. [CDS WP No. 388].

I hardly dare asking because I'm quite sure that the answer is gonna be embarassing for me:
When I go to http://www.silverstripe.org/stable-download/ in order to download the latest stable release of Silverstripe I can't see any link / download except the Windows Web PI - which I do not want to use.
There's plenty of links to Help, Support, Getting Involved etc. etc. but I fail to see the simple "Click here to download" link.
This is what I see in my browser:
Can you "show" me the link?
Sorry for the dumb question and thanks for any advice.

Tigers show signs of a bright future
The Morris Area/Chokio-Alberta boys' basketball team finished the season 16-11 overall. The Tigers took second place in the West Central Conference South with a 9-3 record. The season ended in the second round of the Section 6AA tournament.
The Tigers faced some tough opponents this year, but started the season 10-3. Those three losses came to the 2012 Class A State Champion Belgrade-Brooten-Elrosa, always competitive New London-Spicer, and Class AAA Alexandria. After that point, the Tigers fell to .500, including losses to conference champion Montevideo twice, state runner-up Litchfield, and the top two teams in the West Central North, Melrose and Sauk Centre.
"We struggled scoring points," said coach Mark Torgerson. "But we still won 16 games."
Torgerson organized a match up with Litchfield at the Target Center on Jan. 28. Although the Tigers lost, it was a highlight for the coach and players as it gave all three teams a memorable opportunity to play on the Timberwolves' court.
Another bright spot on the season was the Tigers' game against Lac qui Parle Valley, in which all 15 players on varsity scored. It was a first in Torgerson's coaching career.
The Tigers also won the Benson tournament.
After last season's full roster of seniors, the Tigers went into the season without much varsity experience. Only seniors Brody Bahr and Riley Arndt saw significant playing time last season.
This season, Bahr started virtually every game to earn the team's defensive MVP award and Arndt was named all-conference.
Sam Mattson and Daniel Nelson were the other two seniors on the squad.
Torgerson calls them his "unsung heroes." Although they did not get much playing time, they helped the team tremendously and continued to work hard throughout the season.
Chandler Erickson received an Honorable Mention from the West Central Conference South, while Riley Arndt, Austin Dierks, and Logan Manska were named all-conference. Dierks received Performer of the Week accolades from the conference, as well. Manska and Arndt were also named to the Section 6AA All-Tournament team.
Next season will be a different story when this year's juniors return with varsity experience.
"The future is really pretty bright," said Torgerson. "I'm really happy with Coach (Jerry) Witt's progress with the B squad."
