In the words of Elkhart County Sheriff Brad Rogers, police officers are accustomed to taking reports, arresting criminals and repeating the whole process over and over again.
"I do not like doing the same thing when it does not reduce crime," Rogers added.
Recidivism rates motivated Rogers to revamp the way the Elkhart County Sheriff's Dept. handles crime and crime prevention. According to the 2012 Annual Report, between Jan. 2009 and August 2011 rates for re-entry to crime was about 49 percent. The correctional facility has since undergone a paradigm shift from "warehousing" inmates to working to affect inmates' hearts and minds to reduce repeat offenses.
"Whenever you're talking about crime reduction it's one of those things you can't chew the elephant all at once so you have to take bites out of it at a time," said Rogers.
The Elkhart County Jail started with offering courses such as "Thinking for a Change," "Substance Abuse," "Life after incarceration," "Anger Management" and a GED program. After the programs were implemented, return to crime dropped 24 percent. Gang intelligence programs, community mediation and focused patrols also aid in a larger-scale crime prevention effort.
The next step in the department's quest to cut back on crime is just getting started. Sheriff Rogers and Cpt. James Bradberry are working with officers to establish close ties with each of the 16 townships in Elkhart County.
At a press conference Monday, Sheriff Rogers announced his plans to expand efforts for crime reduction.
"It is my desire to empower citizens by giving them access and providing them information to an officer assigned to their township." Police first started encouraging civilian crime spotting with online crime reports on the sheriff's website and via social media.
Initial meetings between officers and township residents begin Monday night, and will continue through July 12th. Officers from the Elkhart County detective bureau and patrol divisions will be divided into separate teams to tackle issues specific to each township.
For those who fear this civilian empowerment may take away from pre-existing neighborhood watches, Rogers says that will not be the case.
"If neighborhoods have these in place they can still meet and act autonomously," said Rogers, "this is a broad approach to include those not in a particular neighborhood." Many residents live along stretches of county roads and have no such community associations to spot and report crime—that's where the township connections come in.
"This is not secret police stuff," said Rogers. Instead, the idea is to get more people looking for crime and suspicious activity and then turning over information to police. Rogers says the Sheriff's Department exists to protect the people but doesn't have the manpower to police every street corner.
In 2012 the department received 56,598 calls. While that number may seem large, officers said they'd rather look into false alarms and build up that sense of responsiveness than see crime repeat.
Plans for community policing have been in the works now for several years. The goal is to decrease the amount of work that needs to be done on the investigative end by empowering the public through community policing.
By assigning an officer or officers to a particular township, Rogers said it develops name and face recognition. He hopes these closer relationships between officers and the public will build a two-way street of communication.
Ptl. Derek Lundgren is one of the officers assigned to manage a township connection.
He said it is going to be a learning experience, "it's really up in the air the route this is going to go it's up to the community. Then it's going to be up to us what information we receive from the community and the turnout from these meetings."
Lundgren said it will provide a route for non-emergency calls or things that wouldn't normally be reported to 911.
"It's an avenue for those crimes that people wouldn't normally report it, it's an easy way to just send an e-mail saying, 'hey, this is what's happening, this is what's been going on, these are our concerns," Lundgren added.

"The game's afoot!"
Eleven of the Great Detective's finest cases are brought together in Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes. From his Baker Street digs, a bored Sherlock sorts through newspapers, puffs on his pipe, and makes tea with his less-than-scrubbed chemistry set until the next puzzle presents itself. His chronicler Watson passes on the questionable tea but is only too happy to take a little time away from his doctor's practice to assist his old friend on adventure after adventure.
It is a year after the death of Sherlock Holmes when Watson again sets pen to paper to record another of his sensational investigations, a series of events so scandalous they could not be related earlier, as told in Anthony Horowitz' The House of Silk.
When Edmund Carstairs believes he and his family are being threatened by a man in a flat cap, he turns to Holmes for help. It appears that the man has followed him from America seeking revenge. The pursuer's murder does not solve the puzzle, but instead leads Holmes and Watson ever deeper into a dangerous London underworld of opium dens and worse with links to the most powerful and influential levels of British society. In this dark world, they hear whispers about the House of Silk. But inquiries lead to threats, and they are warned off the investigation in no uncertain terms by those in the highest levels of government. Soon Holmes finds himself in prison, accused of murder.
A brilliant collection of fourteen original Holmes stories written by today's premier mystery writers. Each story features Holmes and Watson, festively solving the darkest of crimes in the brightest of seasons. Also try the sequel, More Holmes for the Holidays.
"In deep retirement in the English country-side, an eighty-nine-year-old man, vaguely recollected by locals as a once-famous detective, is more concerned with his beekeeping than with his fellow man. Into his life wanders Linus Steinman, nine years old and mute, who has escaped from Nazi Germany with his sole companion: an African gray parrot. What is the meaning of the mysterious strings of German numbers the bird spews out--a top-secret SS code? The keys to a series of Swiss bank accounts perhaps? Or something more sinister? Is the solution to this last case -- the real explanation of the mysterious boy and his parrot--beyond even the reach of the once-famed sleuth?"
"A trail of ominous clues leads Holmes and Russell from an English hamlet to fashionable Paris to the wild prairie of the New World. But as the moment of reckoning approaches, will justice be done…or have they been lured straight into an elusive killer's perfectly baited trap?"
This volume introduces Mary Russell, a wealthy orphan, and delightfully explores what happens when she is befriended by her retired neighbor, Sherlock Holmes. The first in a series.
To Sherlock Holmes, she was always "the woman," and truly she was the only woman he ever believed his equal, having smartly outwitted him in "A Scandal in Bohemia." Accompanied by her faithful chronicler, Penelope Huxleigh, this bold American actress mends a broken heart after solving the most regal of crimes.
First of the Irene Adler series.
"You have been in Afghanistan, I perceive." With these few words, Holmes astonishes Watson for the first, if not the last, time on the occasion of their meeting. A mysterious corpse without wounds and a bloody design on the wall nearby inaugurates their first case of detection.
This is the beginning of Sherlock Holmes' many adventures. It is also available as a graphic novel, video, audio, or as part of most Sherlock Holmes collections.

With temperatures in the 90s, people are drinking sports drinks instead of water, but are sports drinks really helpful?
Bottom line--sports drinks replace electrolytes--sodium, and potassium that you use when you work-out.
"I drink it afterwards usually. I just feel a little low, kined of light headed, and it just gets be back and going and won't make me sleepy," said Nate Wootten, a UVa alumnus.
"I've heard it helps you keep hydrated," said Lori Stern, 4th year at UVa.
More important than hydration--it replenishes nutrients in the body.
"You need them because of energy. You need to use those because you can get cramps in your legs if your potassium is down. So there's a lot of things that you need to replace so that your body can perform to it's peak performance," said Sports Medicine Doctor Bobby Stokes.
But not everyone needs them. They do not help the lay person that just sweats or those with low-impact workouts.
"If you're going to do less than 30 minutes, water hydration is fair enough," Stokes said.
Most sports drinks are similar, but the ones with lower sugar and natural sugars are best.
"I like Gatorade and Powerade," said Stokes. "[I think they have] a replacement of the nutrients that you need and I also think that they have a less sugar content than most of them and I do like the taste."
You can make a natural alternative by filling up a glass of water, adding two teaspoons of chlorophyll, which you can find at a health store. You may also want to add fresh lemon juice, and natural sugar like syrup or honey.
Doctors also advise staying away from soda and tea when working out.

Strict diets can trigger binge eating
SOME PEOPLE'S New
Binge eating is not just stuffing yourself on holidays. It means uncontrolled overeating to the point of being uncomfortably full at least twice a week. Many people with the disorder feel ashamed and eat in secret. For example, one of my patients broke down and sobbed when I innocently asked her what she had eaten the day before.
About 3 percent of Americans have binge-eating disorder, making
Controversial research suggests that binge eating may be a type of addiction, similar to alcoholism and drug addiction. Like those compulsions, binge eating disorder can be treated with antidepressant medicines and psychological counseling, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Many people with binge eating disorder also suffer from depression, low self-esteem and trouble expressing emotions. Some overeaters have been victims of sexual abuse. As with other addictions, research suggests there may be some inherited tendencies, as well as changes in brain chemistry.
Research shows people who undergo weight-loss surgery are nearly six times more likely than average to have existing eating disorders. And while bariatric surgery may help with weight loss, it does not cure underlying eating disorders, according to German research. So, it's important
Talk therapy can help considerably, according to psychiatrists at Rutgers University in New Jersey. This month, they published research comparing two types of counseling: interpersonal therapy, which focuses on people's relationships and communication skills; and cognitive-behavioral therapy, which targets dysfunctional thoughts and feelings.
In a two-year study, researchers found that people who got either type of counseling were 20 percent more likely to stop bingeing than folks who tried diet and exercise.
Group therapy is also helpful, according to University of Minnesota Medical School researchers. After 20 weeks of therapy, people in groups led by professional therapists were more likely to have stopped bingeing than people in self-help
Nearly 52 percent of those in a therapist-led group stopped bingeing, compared to 18 percent in the self-help groups and 10 percent of the people who got no treatment at all.

Based on 30 traveler reviews
A Great Family Outing
Aug 31, 2014 by: Marcy D from Columbia, Maryland
I visited with my husband and toddler in August 2014. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had a model train exhibition ongoing while we visited. The size of the museum made for a relatively easy visit for a toddler. There were several planes inside, as well as an area for interactive simulations and crafts for kids (though several were temporarily out of commission, for some reason). The gift shop was also small but nice. There was an outdoor area adjacent to the runway, which contained several wooden model plains that kids could scoot around on. It was a good time for all of us.
Interesting for Everyone
Aug 05, 2014 by: Danita34 from Silver Spring, Maryland
They have a free Scavenger Hunt if you ask at the desk. When the kids complete it they get a prize. It really helped us see the museum and encourage my son to focus on the most important facts. We will go back again.
Kid friendly aviation museum on a comfortable scale on an historic airport
Apr 23, 2014 by: denbury from Port Hope, Canada
Other reviewers have shared extensive comments on what this charming museum offers so duplication of their contributions is not required. This is my third visit over a period of about 15 years and I continue to be struck by the pleasant human scale of this museum and its focus on programs for children and the exhibition of a collection, both owned and borrowed, relevant to the history of the important airfield which has existed here for over a century. Another nice touch is the explanation of the legendary ERCO concern and its iconic Ercoupe product which was produced on a site very close to the museum. My last visit took place during school break and the building was full of children enjoying the programs available from the museum's staff.
Nice museum - interactive exhibits, great for kids & adults!
Jan 21, 2014 by: Mako13Man from Lusby
Went here this past weekend. My niece had a blast here playng with all the exhibits that they have for children. There are quite a few of them. The 3 of us adults all thought the museum was well done and enlightening for older folk as well. Not a huge museum, but just about the right size for spending a few hours looking around, seeing some old aircraft and reflecting on the history of aviation.
Oct 09, 2013 by: Maurene_K from Dover, New Hampshire
This was part of my Plan B itinerary since the Washington, DC national park sites were closed due to the Government Shutdown forced by Congress. This stop was one of the highlights of my trip. Driving into the entrance, I was fascinated to see that the College Park Airport was adjacent to the museum. I stopped there first to have a look-see and to talk airport staff. I also stopped to look at the historic marker. Established in August 1909 by the United States Army Signal Corps to serve as a training location for Wilbur Wright to instruct two military officers to fly in the government's first plane, it is the world's oldest continuously operated airport. The museum is about 8 miles from downtown DC. It's easily accessible by car and public transportation. It is about 30 miles from downtown Baltimore and 24 miles from BWI airport. Admissions are inexpensive: $4 - Adults $3 - Seniors $2 - Children 2+ FREE - Under 2 The museum does not have a snack bar or restaurant. Picnics are allowed at umbrella tables on the outdoor balcony overlooking the airport runway. There are also picnic tables back at the area near the main building of the College Park Airport. This museum may be small, but the quality of planes on display is excellent. The planes were restored and well maintained. Another reviewer Jack L has already listed all planes. At the time of my visit, there were 10 planes on display and one demo plane for a hands-on experience for youngsters. I especially liked the red 1932 Monocoupe 110, the blue and yellow 1941 Boeing A75N1/PT-17 Stearman, and the yellow 1936 Taylor J-2 Cub. The second floor allows one to get better views of the planes suspended from the ceiling. Children will like being able to use pre-cut postcards to make their own rubbings or stampings on the "picture" side of the card. They can explore, touch, and sit in the cockpit of the "Imagination Plane", a blue 1939 Taylorcraft near the far end of the museum. There is a hands-on room to learn about flying and to dress up like a pilot. Youngsters can "fly" in one of the simulators. There are pedal planes outside. The museum offers special family programs and events throughout the year. Check the museum website as you plan your visit. The airport runway is just outside the full-length glass windows of the museum. One can watch for take-offs and landings while touring the museum. Additionally, the museum's full-length glass windows provide plenty of light for non-flash photography. My best results were with the Natural Light and Scene Recognition settings on my camera.

Klopp fired up for crunch Schalke derby
The Revier derby comes at a particularly inconvenient time for both Schalke and Borussia Dortmund, sandwiched between two crucial Champions League fixtures.
Dortmund came through their European examination against Shakhtar Donetsk with flying colours on Tuesday, reaching the quarter-final stage for the first time in 15 years.
Schalke will be hoping to follow suit next week when they host Galatasaray and, while their focus could drift towards that match, Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp still expects them to be fully motivated for the biggest game of the year in Gelsenkirchen.
"Schalke are back in form, back on track and they have a lot of quality," he said.
"We are going to be up against a strong Schalke side with a great deal of quality, but we're not too bad ourselves."
Klopp was particularly complimentary of Schalke's 19-year-old midfielder Julian Draxler, who will make his 100th appearance for the Royal Blues on Saturday.
"He is a fantastic lad - quick, technically strong and dangerous," sais Klopp.
"The fact he is making his 100th appearance against us is incredible. He has got everything a footballer needs, but I hope we can deal with him better than Wolfsburg did.
"We must not leave Schalke too much room because they have a very dangerous attack."
Draxler hopes to celebrate his centennial appearance with his first-ever win in a Revier derby.
"It's going to be tough because Dortmund have a great team, but we are on a par," he said. "And I have never beaten Dortmund yet."
Once the final whistle of the 142nd Revier derby blows, Schalke will then turn their attention to next week, when they may even lay the foundations for two more derbies with Dortmund this season, in the Champions League.

The pilot reported that the accident flight was the first flight in the airplane in 6 months. During the initial climb, the engine experienced a partial loss of power. The pilot checked the magnetos and carburetor heat but was unsuccessful in his attempts to regain full engine power. Subsequently, he chose to land the airplane between two houses. A postaccident engine compression test revealed that the Nos. 1 and 4 cylinders had low compression. The No. 1 rocker cover was removed, and the rocker arm was tapped with a mallet, which brought its compression to within normal range. Disassembly of the No. 4 cylinder revealed that it was leaking past the exhaust valve and through the exhaust system. In addition, disassembly revealed a scored intake valve stem and valve guide. The intake valve would not operate and had to be forcefully removed from the valve guide. According to the engine overhaul manual, scored valve stems can cause the engine to produce low power. The pilot did not report performing any of the procedures to return the engine to service from indefinite storage (that is, more than 90 days). Therefore, it is also likely that the engine was never prepared for indefinite storage and, thus, was not stored improperly for the 6 months it was not used before the accident flight. During storage, the No. 4 intake and exhaust valves most likely became lodged in the valve guides, which resulted in a partial loss of engine power and subsequent forced landing to a field. It is likely that, if the engine had been properly stored, the recommended lubrication would have prevented the valves from sticking and scoring and that, if the engine had been properly removed from storage, the scored valves may have been detected and replaced, either of which action could have prevented the accident.
The National Transportation Safety Board determines the probable cause(s) of this accident to be:

Microsoft sees its chance in Googlephone
Microsoft has once again questioned Google's mobile strategy, insisting that Mountain View will have trouble attracting - and keeping - OS partners now that the company is selling its very own Googlephone. Speaking with Bloomberg this past week, Redmond mobile boss Robbie Bach predicted that Google's decision to serve as both OS …
being rubbish and costing money does matter
If Apple was doing what Google is trying it might be different.
But, offering an Android phone is not an exclusive deal at all. It is not exclusive with the operators. And it is not exclusive with Google. Google is just another channel.
And while it is easy to understand why some operators might be a bit miffed about Google, there are many versions of the Android phone to be worried about. Google's phone is just one of them.
Even switching to Microsoft means nothing. Any operator still has to complete with all of the other Android phones plus the one from Google. Plus Microsoft insists upon being paid money. Android does not.
Certainly all of the operators that have looked at the Android software knew from the start that they were not going to be looking at anything close to an exclusive deal.
LG going great guns for Android
Motorola and Verizon may be miffed, but other Open Handset Alliance members are only too happy to commit to an Android future:
"Half of all new smart phones released this year by LG Electronics Inc. will be based on Google Inc.`s Android operating system, the Korean company`s top executive said Thursday, according to Yonhap News."
But it's free!?
I'm sure no one likes new competition, especially from a company with a wallet the size of Google's. However, unless I'm mistaken Android is still a free mobile OS.
This means that handset manufacturers don't have to re-invent the wheel or license in Windows Mobile - that has to be compelling still.
Microsoft has an even worse record of treachery
As the media player manufacturers who were suckered by PlaysForSure can attest when Microsoft ditched them for its go-alone Zune.
Anyone remeber the Sendo phone?
Microsoft really screwed them and they didn't last long after that.
that depends
If I were on google's shoes, I would sell a different handset for each new major version of the OS but, for each new device, I would make the partnership with a different manufacturer (only the most reliable ones). This way they would make everyone happy and spice up the competition. I think that, apart from them owning the OS, they are doing the same that Vodafone does, when they order a Vodafone branded phone from the likes of Sharp, Nokia, etc.
MOT and Crap
> Windows Mobile costs money. And it's rubbish.
Judging from previous form, employing a useless phone OS would be no problem for Motorola ... as they spiral further down the toilet.
Microsoft is an aimless loser
The #1 phone OS is still Symbian. Developed by Nokia, which also makes handsets.
If Microsoft doesn't want its own handset, then why did it buy Danger Inc, a year or so ago? Danger's expertise was mainly in hardware. Pity Microsoft let it rot, in fact, turned it into one of the biggest fiascos, when Microsoft accidentally deleted the personal data of 1 million phone owners, and kept no back-up.
Yes, Microsoft bought the expertise to make its own handset. It's Microsoft's 'Plan B', when all the phone OEMs have deserted the debilitated Windows Mobile platform, it can make its own Microsoft Phone without upsetting anyone.
Microsoft's Windows Mobile is a complete train wreck, and one of the biggest debacles in computing history (eliminating Microsoft's place in the next era of computing... mobile).
Hmmm, let me see now ...
"Yeah we can put WM on it but then the costings work out a bit top heavy and there is a lot of integration with google flavoured cloud stuff that isn't really present on WM."
Two entirely different business models: hitch up for a free ride to glory OR pay a premium for something that probably delivers less?
Well Cade Metz, you said it
I agree.
Developers developers developers
Developing for Android is free.
To develop for Windows Mobile you need the paid-for versions of MS Visual Studio and a Windows PC.
To develop for the iPhone is annoying as it's quite hard to get things onto the App Store.
no you dont
the last time i bothered to develop an app for WM the toolset was free
facts, we've heard about them
Is "free" really free?
The actual OS licence cost is a small fraction of the total cost of any system. What's much more relevant is TCO (total cost of ownership). If the "free" OS's like Linux and such really cost less overall, Windows would have died decades ago.
It's the applications, dummy
Microsoft have always pushed the TCO bullshit very hard, but the truth is that users like familiar applications (Word, Excel, Outlook) and business software like Sage, Navision, etc, etc runs almost exclusively on Windows.
Phone's don't have all that legacy crap and people accept that the OS on their phone doesn't need to be Windows, because it never was before.
re: is free really free?
paul showering says "If the "free" OS's like Linux and such really cost less overall, Windows would have died decades ago.".
in a word, no. it doesn't work like that. price is not the only consideration. although their fare for a london (ish) to stockholm (ish) flight can be a fraction of ba's or sas's, ryanair don't get everyone's business.
open source loses to windoze for a bunch of reasons. these include advertising and marketing; redmond's stranglehold on distribution channels; developer support; availability of third-party applications; fucked up and ever-changing linux APIs and GUIs; vendor lock-in; a well established network of lobbyists to influence key decision-makers; availability of system administrators and IT support; training; documentation; etc, etc.
suppose you supplied commercial software, say an accounts package. if you were to develop a linux version, would it be for GNOME, KDE or raw X windows? would you take the risk of some pasty faced youth changing an API or "upgrading" one of the libraries in the linux distro that your software depends on? which flavour of linux and package manager(s) would you choose? how would you get your software bundled with the distros or get the likes of dixons (spit!) to stock it?
Kinda like the graphics market...
This sounds a lot like the bleating nVidia does about ATI. "ATI will steal crusts of bread from the mouths of your children, because it not only works with partners to create cards, but markets one itself!" [Sprinkle with appropriate amounts sensationalism and a cloud of fanbois.]
ATI is still around, and still producing top-notch gear. They still have partners that sell their designs and they still sell their own cards. Partners differentiate themselves in a number of innovative ways, and the ATI-branded cards have come to mean "vanilla implementation."
nVidia does a Microsoft, and deals with "partners." So far as I know, there is no nVidia-branded card.
Intel does the Apple thing, producing shite product for a high price, own-branded with no partners. [Had to word it that way, sorry Apple fanbois, it's the troll in me.]
Now, of course, these aren't perfect analogues, but it seems to me that all three business models have their place.
No nVidia card?
Eh? I've got one. When I ordered it, it was all "nVidia" this or that, no mention of any other manufacturer. The card itself only states "nVidia", all the drivers are "nVidia" and other rleated software is all "nVidia".
Also, unlike ATI, nVidia at least provides drivers and support for Linux. It may be proprietary, but at least they exist. Until ATI do likewise, I will not buy an ATI card.
The BigYin
Actually sold by nVidia? I'd love a picture of the box the card came in. I've never seen an nVidia video card. I've seen cards using nVidia chips that are sold by ASUS, MSI, EVGA, BFG, XFX and Zotac. The box clearly states in big letters which company is selling the card, but it's never nVidia-branded.
(It might be an nVidia GT280 class chip, but it's made, manufactured and sold by one of the partners.)
The drivers are nVidia, (as they are the original chip designers,) but this is no different than many similar companies. (When was the last time you bought a Realtek sound card? Realtek makes the drivers, but the chips are incorporated onto motherboards, as opposed to discreet units that are sold by Realtek.)
As to your buying/not buying video cards from a specific manufacturer, everyone has their preferences. The comment wasn't about fanboyism, it was about pointing out similar business models.
If you want a bit of a fanboy-off however…I personally will never buy nVidia due to Jen Hsun Huang being a gigantic douchebag. The ridiculous number of nVidia cards I've had implode on me in the 8600/8800 series, (and thier related "we rebranded the card as a different number in a higher series) chips has cost me a lot of time and money. Oh yeah, and the whole fact that nVidia rebrands their cards instead of designing news ones. (When I buy a 9600, I want a distinct item, not a rebadged 8800, etc.) Slightly less important, but still a factor is that every time I have encountered nVidia reps at a convention etc. they have been unfriendly and fairly difficult to deal with. The ATI guys have always been charming, polite and helpful. Mind you, that could be that ATI is Canadian, so I just "speak the language."
Also on my list is Sony. I still haven't forgiven them for the whole rootkit fiasco, nor am I a fan of their constant attempts to create a proprietary format that they dominate and can charge us through the nose for. (Like they did with minidisc.) Their quality is shoddy and Acer-like. Their products are inferior and Acer-like. Their prices are about Acer*2. (And they don't interoperate with anything!)
Of course all of the above statements can not and do not apply to all products made by these companies, but reflect my personal experiences with these companies and the products they make. Do something good, and a person tells two of his friends. Do something terrible and they tell the whole block…
Actually, ATI DOOO Support Linux...
Maybe it's AMD who own ATI now but if you buy an AMD board with an ATI card you get the drivers that will update automatically in Ubuntu at least.
My favourite line
Nice article.
Best line = 'Unlike Android, Windows Mobile costs money. And it's rubbish.'
Microsoft are worried, and they should be. 6.5 is pants, I doubt 7 will be any better. Android is free and pretty solid. This is really non-news. Everyone can make an android phone, even me. So why not the people that spent the time to develop and release it ?
I'm pretty excited about a common mobile platform, its about time. Android will be that glue.
Some of us are happy to pay the premium for Windows Mobile, especially 6.5 and soon version 7. While Android may be free in one sense, it certainly doesn't come without a price.
Options for mobile phone operating systems are limited. Some of us don't want the all-too-common iPhone, and we certainly don't want our mobile phone activities overseen by a chocolate factory that tells us that if we're worried about privacy, stop whatever we're doing.
Palm's mobile devices certainly count as an alternative, as do BlackBerry phones running RIM's own OS. Then of course there are the devices running Windows Mobile. If I pay the premium for Windows Mobile then I'm not getting locked into some proprietary system and I can easily transfer the data in a usable format to other computerised devices.
"If I pay the premium for Windows Mobile then I'm not getting locked into some proprietary system..."
Do you read your own posts?
Re: ROFL
Yes I am well aware of how those who are not directly familiar with Windows Mobile will perceive my comment. Try it for yourself before you have a chuckle, you'll find that all Microsoft applications on Windows Mobile allow for data content to be stored or exported into formats that can be used on a wide variety of competitor solutions.
WM ships 90% of it's non-enterprise licenses on HTC silicon anyway.
Even the new Sonys are HTC designs. (Sonies? Sony's?)
And from Acer, Asus, Samsung, and Toshiba, I wouldn't expect any of them so stage a coup...
So if Google go HTC-only, it wouldn't be that different!
Who is Google's customer?
The bottom line is, every business has to do what's best for its customer. The question is, who is Google's customer?
In the purest sense, the people who buy ads are - they're the ones that pay $$$ to Google. In a smaller way, people who buy phones are - they also pay $$$, but the revenue stream from phones will be a drop in the bucket compared to ads.
The only reason Google should pay any attention to Motorola or Verizon (or for that matter, HTC or T-Mobile) is if they consider that keeping those companies happy will allow Google to give better service to their customers.
Unfortunately the real losers here are the phone users. (Losers as in the ones who lose out of the deal, not lusers.) They/we would really love to have all Android phones equal in software - none of this rubbish where 2.1 is only available on the Nexus One, 1.6 is incompatible with 2.0, etc. Ditto for the developers - they don't want to have to rehash their code every time a new version of the OS comes out.
Hopefully Android turns out like Java a few years back - 1.1.8 was incompatible with 1.3 and we all had two versions of Java running on our systems, until 1.4.2 came along and brought the code bases back together. /me is looking forward to Android 3.0...
"The bottom line is, every business has to do what's best for its customer"
Not quite. Every business has to do what's best for the *shareholders*.
That may, or may not, be what's best for the customer.
Just as the banks, insurance and endowment companies. They sure as hell do not do what is best for the customer.
Remember who controls the gates though
The Nexus launched with v2.1 of Android, whilst other 'partner' manufacturers were only given v2.0 with no access to 2.1 yet. If the playing field were level, I'd say no foul, but keeping the latest releases for yourself is just mean. MS at least have a mature release schedule policy not favouring one manufacturer over another for Windows, etc.
andoid costs too
...at least if you want the google apps (most importantly the app store)
(google maps is nice, but I can always use the web version if I had to)
Anyone trust the MS crystal ball?
Given how badly MS predicted the iphone uptake I'm not going to listen to MS mobile predictions any more.
Same MSFT as few years ago?
Do you still remember comments of Steve B. about iPhone? I wouldn't trust them too much when it comes to forecasting future...
"Redmond says it has no intention of offering one, insisting it will focus on supporting other phone makers and carriers with its Windows Mobile OS."
Didn't Google say that last year?
Microspft getting into mobile phones would be great
As long as they use someone else's OS. Windows Mobile is a slow bloated OS that seems to be designed to cripple phones.
M$ Getting in too would be great. But...
...only because it could be that final bridge too far and sink the bastards. YES! And in the meantime, maybe they will save us ten bucks each on our google-phones through their pathetic attempt at competition (inverted commas). M$ pissed off too many for too long. They made their bed. No one trusts them. Apple are doing the same. So far, Google have never tried to rip me off (in a way I could not get around) and have provided many v nice things for nothing. Just sticking it to M$ was worth some respect and doing Apple too. Great. Now they are trying to buy renewable energy and drive progress there too. Nice job.
Google can probably make their money skimming data from the masses who fail to protect their privacy whilst still providing the functionality for those that care to protect themselves to some degree. It is like having idiots pay for your phone for you. You can still ignore any and all ads.
the only 'opportunity' I see here for Microsoft..
... is to spread more FUD about a competitor they are otherwise unable to touch. If M$ has been unable so far to find vendor partners for WinMobile, it's hard to see how the success OR failure of the Nexus is going to change the game for them now.
What? are we going to see an unlocked 'Microsoft Phone'? Outside of the utterly zombified M$ fanboys no IT dept seems to be without, I'm at a loss to envision the market for it.
Just like they laughed at the iPhone?
Windows Mobile is rubbish?
Was that last sentence deliberate bait, opinion, or plain arrogance?
Personally I've found Windows Mobile does all the things I want of it better than any other phone I've tried. It certainly doesn't do everything well, but then neither do the alternatives.
I want to make calls, send & receive SMS, sync with Exchange, and use TomTom. All 4 Windows Mobile phones I've had over the years have done that very well.
re:developers developers developers
Being a developer is no good if you can't sell your app. What you need is a place where everyone knows they can find your app and where everyone one goes regardless of which app they were initially looking for.
Oh wait, that would be the AppStore...
Actually, Google may be able to pull off something similar using search rather than a single repository, but that seems like a relatively, complicated and messy solution.
Windows Mobile == crap
We tried a few WM devices here, linking people to their Exchange boxes. That was easy enough, but I couldn't edit the Access Points properly. Telstra provides a nice APN that gives us a direct link back to head office, but there is no way to tell WM about it. Nokias gave me no issues, and also allow synchronising with Exchange over-the-air, and if I ever get really, really lazy, and brush of my old notes, I know I can also configure APNs via SMS.
Nokia S60 phones are the only ones I'll work with now.
Missing the point
I think some posters are missing the point about Android and the comment it may be free.
Motorola, LG and the other Android partners sell phones. That is their business, its what they do.
But now the company behind the OS is launching their own branded phone. Google is not a mobile phone company.
So the partners will simply see sales that should have been theirs being taken away from them. And it doesn't matter how many sales Google makes, those sales are made at the expense of Motorola, LG and the rest.
The upside of this is that Motorola and the rest could well look at Linux more closely as a base OS for their future Android phones. But instead of Google's OS, they put a home grown Linux on, or any other mobile phone Linux OS.
As for Android, its fascinating watching Google screw up in such style. Its not often we get to watch car crash commerce in motion!
Android is dead. Google killed it with love.
Sendo. Sendo. Sendo. Sendo!
How soon we forget...
Yeah, rush right into Microsoft's embrace they will - like cats to the bath. Directly into this:
They'll run to Microsoft because the CEOs and board chairmen of the world's largest phone corporations - previously pragmatic old men - have secretly been replaced by highly emotional fifteen year old girls who are "particularly miffed".
@frymaster: Yes, contrary to Google's expectations, phone partners are opting to pay rather than go the free route. They get some nice integration services and as you note, some apps and in return give some money and some access to the experience. They seem to be liking the deal so far, but if they change their minds they can always build their own platform because Android is free also. Google doesn't care - they just want people to have a phone with a decent browser so they can sell ads on their services - which are 12 of the world's top 40 websites right now, and a good share of the top 200.
WinMo 6.5 is, as some here have noted, pants. They're going to rush the production of 7 as well because of that - and they just rebooted the team last February so expect exciting new crashy bugs and security vulnerabilities as the new team gets up to speed:
Meanwhile Roz Ho is still VP of Premium Mobile Experiences (PMX) even after the Danger disaster, which may define the word inexplicable:
And even Microsoft's affectionate friend Gartner is predicting the rise of the open phone OS:
Yeah, WinMo is going to sweep up these disgruntled phone partners and deliver them from the evil Google, when Google hasn't actually done any dirty cheating underhanded tricks yet, nor demonstrated active gross incompetence. I can see that happening - not.
Google must be quaking
After all , MS are really good at predicting the future, especially in the mobile market. They got the iPhone flop spot on.
Is it just the 'phone and OS
hat is the only problem here?. With it's massive network and potential for VOIP that it can provide, this is only a stepping stone to taking on the mainstream networks is it not?
Anyone seen Pinky and the Brain lately? This time my money is on the Brain actually winning, Pinky has been hamstrung.
Just goes to show...
MSFT have no clue what Google's strategy may be and so they poo-poo it instead cos they can't just keep their trap shut for once. Or maybe they really think people believe what they say and it loses Google customers by doing so.
It might be the hard way (in MSFT land) to do things but Google specialise in hard where MSFT just buy other people who can do hard cos they can't.
I can't imagine some of the cunning coding and architecture that goes into the Google data centre and nor, I suspect, can MSFT; and that scares them. Into making dumbass comment.
M$ are just pretending they were not totally blindsided and or that any release of their own phone has just been well and truely shat on. Just guidance for the more gullible shareholders. Zero substance.
Seems I was right
"Microsoft has once again questioned Google's mobile strategy, insisting that Mountain View will have trouble attracting - and keeping - OS partners now that the company is selling its very own Googlephone."
Translation: MS will use contract negotiations with OEMs to force them to ditch/bury Android or only sell it on sub-standard kit.
They have form for this - just ask Dell and a few others.
In their dreams.
If Android goes wrong (and that's unlikely much as I deplore the locked nature of phones and secretive development), then Palm, Rim, Apple, Limo, Moblin, maemo, Symbian, Nokia and others that use Symbian, Moblin, Limo, maemo etc will benefit. Not MS.
MS was never strong outside USA market on Mobile. Even in the USA they are slaughtered. The biggest WinMo vendor was HTC, who makes Google's own phone. The same people own Via, who make ideal alternate chips for Netbooks, that are more suitable for Linux than Win7.
MobileWin7 is the death rattle of WinCE in phones.
One Word
I suspect someone at MS has their knickers in a knot because their baby Zune didn't take off like the iPod, and their idea of a ZunePhone was knocked back.
Microsoft caught with its pants down (again)
Yet again Microsoft has been caught with its pants around its corporate ankles.
Remember Bill Gate's opinion of the WWW? MS got out of that one because it really only had Netscape as a competitor when it finally woke up.
Then there was MS playing catch-up when Java came along and people realised there was something better than MS' offering of VC++ and VB. They dug themselves out of that one, too.
Now they have been caught with their trousers down *again*, but this time they are an also-ran with the offerings from the likes of Apple, Google, Palm, Blackberry and Nokia *far* in the lead and with the muscle (unlike Netscape, Sun, etc) to ensure they trip over them and fall flat on their face.
Memo to Microsoft:
If you want to be big in phones, try making an OS that is quite good.
Do many WM users go back after Android?
I've owned Windows mobiles since the original orange SPV. The six handsets were great and I thought I had a great operating system when I owned them. That is until I got one of the new Android phones. It is intuitive, works with just one hand and I personally think the interface is very slick. You only need your thumb and it does away with the need for a stylus. Battery life is awesome considering most other smartphones can't see out the day. From where I sit, Google are going to kill off Windows mobile unless Microsoft can completely reinvent itself for WM7. Even then as most people say, it is only the fistful (bribes) of cash that will keep their partners interested. Making their own handset is not a problem, their only own goal so far I think has been cracking down on Cyanogen. They should have hired the guy instead.
PS: I don't even have to reboot it every day like every other WM device I've owned.

With Gustav Klimt's portraits as inspiration, Tory Burch delivered a romantic fall lineup filled with richly detailed, wearable looks. The collection focused on "24-hour dressing—special pieces to wear from day to evening," the designer noted. To that point: a sequined skirt with floral pailettes looked modern and understated paired with a chiffon turtleneck. For a day-to-night swap, simply throw on the matching jacket. And, while the clothes were influenced by Art Nouveau, the accessories were all about insects, with beetles and dragonflies adorning pendants, earrings, bags, and shoes.

LAFAYETTE, La. (AP) - A former bookkeeper at a Lafayette spa who embezzled more than $187,000 has been sentenced to 37 months in prison and ordered to repay the money.
Angie C. Normand was accused of writing checks to herself for cash, secretly increasing her own salary and then doctoring the financial records to cover up the fraud while working as bookkeeper for Coccolare Spa from 2007 to 2011.
Spa owner Dr. Cynthia Glass told U.S. District Judge Elizabeth Foote before the sentencing that her business was heading toward financial ruin until a careful review of the books uncovered the embezzlement.
Normand's attorney, Michael Skinner, cited issues of alcohol abuse, codependency and depression.

This is our standard strawberry recipe. Absolutely simple, but good enough to serve with cream at the poshest of dinner parties. The sugar and lemon draws the juice out of the strawberries, resulting in lots of lovely pink 'sauce' - so do try to soak them for at least 2 hours.

text: We've spotted a lot of this 'double jacket' styling recently. It's a great way to get out of your winter coat and into something more spring-y without feeling the chill! So clever Judith here has let her classic blue denim jacket from Zara peek out of from under a coo shaggy jacket from Religion. We love the fabric contrast – and the finishing details, like tailored shorts with tights, her scruffy bun and a Chanel bag slung across her body. But what do you like about her look? Remember the most constructive comments could get printed in Grazia magazine. Check out Style Hunter's other ladies here.

Pike Research
The collaborative document, called "The Water Resources Utility of the Future: A Blueprint for Action," was produced by the National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA), Water Environmental Research Foundation (WERF), and Water Environmental Federation (WEF). This ambitious plan faces some major hurdles. However, given its scope and the array of organizations behind it, the blueprint could have a far-reaching impact on water management, if it doesn't get bogged down somewhere along its zealous path.
To encourage and support utilities of the future (UOTFs), the blueprint envisions "transformational thinking" and bold action in four main areas:
· Legislative and regulatory, calling at one point for a new congressional caucus on UOTF to raise awareness among legislators and the public, as well as state-level legislation to address wastewater issues
· Institutional and programmatic, for example, acknowledging and paying for storm water management as part of a broader integrated water management approach
· Financial and risk management, for instance, expanding federal grants on UOTF initiatives and using financial incentives to reclaim and reduce wastewater
· Utility leadership and internal management, encouraging the adoption of "lean" operations and the use of Six Sigma tools for continuous process improvement
The 48-page blueprint also calls for accelerating the pace of technology innovation in this sector by establishing a new advanced research and development (R&D) program for clean water, and applying a pooled risk-sharing strategy and reciprocity for technology approval across the 50 states.
The main legislative goal outlined in the blueprint is a new 21st Century Watershed Act that builds on the 40-year-old Clean Water Act, one that provides a new framework for the water challenges of today. Yet the goals are broader than simply influencing federal policymakers; they include influencing local utility managers, private-sector interests, state and local governments, and other stakeholders involved in clean water, drinking water, energy and agricultural activities.
This comprehensive call to action pulls few punches on why utilities have been slow to act, and it calls for a wide range of steps to be taken to move the needle. But its focus on legislative action seems optimistic. Though given these groups have a strong lobbying mandate, this emphasis is to be expected.
The plan embraces new technologies to help solve issues, and mentions private-sector incentives. However, the proposed financing mechanisms for these programs are specified, and there are controversial proposals sure to trouble some people. Getting bipartisan support from a currently divided Congress makes it almost a non-starter.
Is such a comprehensive blueprint too grandiose? Probably. But it's a start, and with refinements could help move utilities toward greater efficiency and set the stage for greater cooperation among all stakeholders. If nothing else, this is a serious attempt to address water management issues that, if unaddressed, will pose grave risks to society in the coming years.
This document also rightly points out that existing water and wastewater systems are not badly broken, but rather in need of bold ideas and new technologies that can enhance the foundation laid down by the original Clean Water Act.
If water and wastewater are important issues to you, then be sure to sign up for and attend Pike Research's upcoming free Smart Water webinar, which will take place March 12 at 2 p.m. EDT.

The Unconvention: A Soundbite-Free Evening of Political Talk
It is early September of the year 2012. The bloody and brutal Republican and Democratic national conventions have finally (mercifully) come to an end. After two solid weeks of unrelenting partisan mudslinging and terrible speech-giving, a battered and bewildered American people wander aimlessly through the smoldering remains of the political landscape, searching for some small salve. Something to restore their faith in democracy.
Luckily for them, on September 9th, Indecision is teaming up with 92Y's Campaign for the American Conversation to present The Unconvention, a night in which people from all gradients of the political spectrum will come together for a night of bickerless political conversation and humor.
Performers and speakers that night include former governor and senator from Indiana Evan Bayh, Buzzfeed Editor-in-Chief Ben Smith, former RNC chair Michael Steele, MSNBC host Dylan Ratigan and 17-year-old reformed conservative partisan Jonathan Krohn.

The next generation of pesticides
By Jonathan Lundgren
USDA-ARS Research Entomologist
Every year, the fate of the entomological world is discussed by 2,000 to 3,000 entomologists at the annual meeting of the Entomological Society of America (this year held in Knoxville, Tenn.). Often, a hot topic is clearly identifiable from this meeting. This year is no exception: the major theme of the meeting was nothing less than the next generation of insecticides: RNAi-based insecticides.
This is important, and everyone should know what is coming down the pike.
First, let's talk about what RNAi, or interference RNA, is. As an ecologist, my eyes tend to glaze over when I find that nucleic acids are the item on the docket. But I think this topic can be rendered fairly painless.
Genes produce proteins, and proteins are the workhorses of life. They act as enzymes, they provide the structural building blocks of cells, and they perform numerous functions within these cells. Life hinges on the ability of DNA to produce proteins.
When a cell wants to make a protein, it activates a particular gene. When the cell wants to stop making a protein, it turns the gene off using various methods. One way that cells turn a gene off is by sending in a small fragment of RNA that suppresses the gene's expression into a protein. This process is called RNA interference, or RNAi.
The implications of RNAi (which was only discovered 15 years ago) are enormous. Just by knowing the DNA sequence of a gene, researchers can cheaply create a small molecule of RNA and send it into a cell to block protein production by the gene--functionally turning the gene off.
By flipping a gene off and watching, we can figure out what each gene does. If we know the DNA sequence that produces diseases like cancer, maybe we can turn off the offending genes and kick cancer in its molecular crotch. These two uses of RNAi are called functional genomics and gene therapy.
Scientists are interested in using RNAi for all sorts of things, including using RNAi to silence critical gene function in insect pests, thereby killing them. The eddy of this concept has turned into a tidal wave, and 78 presentations at the EntSoc meeting this year pertained to using RNAi in insect research and control.
Arguably, seed companies are a driving force in this discussion. They have created a genetically modified corn plant that produces small RNAs that silences a gene in the western corn rootworm, the most costly pest of agriculture in the world. Efforts are also underway to develop RNAi sprays that can be applied to households or the environment that will silence pest genes, thereby killing them.
The instant question that comes to most people's minds is likely "err...is this safe?" All indications are that RNAi can be very specific to the target gene. And we eat small RNAs with every meal, and to our knowledge it doesn't seem to hurt us.
However, nearly all previous work on RNAi has been relegated to individual cells in a Petri dish, or to individual organisms (e.g., a sick grandma). Genetically modified crops are currently planted on nearly 10 percent of the terrestrial land surface of the United States. If RNAi-based pesticidal crops are planted on a similar scale, then this is an environmental exposure that is orders of magnitude greater than anything we have experienced before.
Whether you love the idea of this new technology or hate it, the proliferation of this next generation of insecticides seems as though it will be a part of our lives in the very near future.

Biologist hurt in freak accident
An Idaho Fish and Game Department biologist suffered a head injury Monday while tracking a herd of big horn sheep.
Idaho Fish and Game Department spokesman Gregg Losinski said the biologist was attempting to recover radio collars.
Bonneville County Sheriff's Sergeant Jeff Edwards said one of the sheep kicked a rock off the mountain, which struck the researcher on the head. It happened about four miles above the Palisades Campground.
The biologist called for help and began walking out of the area, when he was found by emergency workers from the sheriff's office, Fish and Game, the Swan Valley Quick Response Unit, and Bonneville County Search and Rescue.

Chapter 18
Wolfe's body stiffens next to mine as we walk into the bar. I glance around, my eyes wide at the dark room taking in everything. It wasn't packed, but it had quite a few people in there. There was a smoke machine somewhere pumping fog-like smoke into the room every few minutes, hiding some of the patrons from view.
"I thought this was a bar?" I ask, unable to keep the horror from my voice.
It looked like some kind of fucked up haunted house mixed with a club of sorts..
"Yeah, I thought so too." Wolfe answers, shaking his head.
I look around to see if I can spot Marcus, but he's nowhere to be seen. There's some kind of dance floor in the middle were a few couples are grinding on each other. I can't really scent anything since the artificial fog is invading my lungs.
I bring up my hand to cover my nose as Wolfe leads me to a bar on the left that I had not even noticed was there.
There's no barman so we don't even bother ordering, not that I would have ordered anything anyway.
The music sucks. I shudder when I hear some kind of backstreet boy techno song come on. Seriously?
"It's hard to imagine a place like this….here." I mutter.
"Maybe we should go." Wolfe suggests.
As much as I wanted to agree, I wanted to find that little shit Marcus and tell him off for not warning me. I thought we were friends?
"In a bit." I narrow my eyes and scan the crowd, looking for him again.
"He's not here." Wolfe chuckles next to me.
"Who?" I say, feigning ignorance.
"The asshole that's going to get his ass kicked as soon as I see him." He says, shrugging.
Ah, so we were thinking the same thing.
"Not before I kick his ass…" I grin at the thought of actually getting to punch someone. I never had punched anyone before, but there's a first time for everything.
"I don't like that smile." Wolfe says. I look up at him to see him grinning down at me. I quickly rearrange my face and frown at him.
"I'm sure I have no idea what you're talking about."
He chuckles and wraps his hand around my waist casually, as he turns to look out at the crowd again.
I find myself smiling stupidly, until I snap out of it. Holy crap was I just playing with Wolfe? Was I just playing with the possessive, self-centered man that I was cursed to be mated to?
It must be the fumes or something. Here we were actually acting like two normal persons….wow.
Finally after a few minutes a barman shows up. Or I guess I should say a bar girl. She smiles at us and asks "Sorry 'bout that. What would ya like to drink?"
Wolfe glances at her quickly then looks back at me questioningly. I didn't want to be such a prune and not order anything…but I also didn't want to make myself sick.
"I'll have a margarita." I say, deciding to at least pretend I was drinking it.
The girls bursts out laughing and then quickly covers her mouth when she notices Wolfe glaring at her.
What was so funny?
"Honey, we ain't got no 'margaritas'. Now I can either get you some vodka or tequila, unless you want some beer. Cause that's all we got." She says, leaning over the counter.
Well, I didn't want any of that cause I was so not getting drunk tonight.
"We'll have two shots of tequila." Wolfe orders for me.
Scowling I turn towards him. "I don't like tequila." I say.
"Sorry. They just opened this place so they're a little limited." He shrugs. The chick comes back and places 4 shot cups in front of us and pours us some light brown liquid quickly before moving away and coming back with some lemons.
Wolfe quickly drinks his one after the other not even bothering with the lemons. I look at mine wearily as the girl leaves to the other side of the bar leaving us.
