ORLANDO, Fla. - Evening services at First Baptist Church of Orlando started a little differently Saturday. Members got on their knees and prayed for strangers a thousand miles away -- the victims and families of the shooting rampage in Newtown, Connecticut.
Senior Pastor David Uth led the church in prayer and opened up talking about the unthinkable events that unfolded at Sandy Hook Elementary. The theme of Saturday night's service was "Forgiving those who hurt us," an unplanned yet timely connection to Friday's tragedy.
More than 100 church members attended the service, but Uth expected several thousand to attend multiple services on Sunday. Forgiveness and prayers for the Newtown community will continue to play a large role, he said.
"Our prayer tonight was that God be with them and they would know it and feel it. And that they would experience his presence in a way that they never felt," said Uth.
Church members told Local 6 praying for those affected by the heinous crime is the most immediate way they can help.
"Sometimes there are things that we can't do that we want to do and prayer is all that we can do," said Lauren Irving.

Not every negotiator is ethical and upfront. At times, some businesses (and governments or organizations) try to influence the outcome of a negotiation by issuing erroneous information or rumors.
Trial balloons are used most frequently by politicians who leak a rumored policy change to gauge public reaction. Essentially, it is a way of testing the waters.
In negotiation, some people use trial ballo0ns, rumors and price drops as a way of sending messages to the other party. This method of "grapevine" communications provides a way to save face without losing any bargaining leverage.
What do you do with information you hear through the grapevine?
Negotiators must be on guard against the rumor mill, false information leaks and trial balloons—understanding that these may be used as tactics. Here are a few counter tactics:
- Test any suspect information.
- Be wary of information that was acquired too easily
- Realize that trial balloons and rumors are a way to confuse you and to weaken your resolve
- Understand that grapevine information can be used as a way to communicate indirectly
How do you deal with rumors, trial balloons and information leaks? Tell us in the comments.

Actually, it's not apple who's doing great, not in the OS way in particular.
These numbers grow because:
1) Apple produces a whole range of iMobile_Device, and because of their market share more people start to be interested in apple computers and thus MacOS. I know ppl who use Windows and Linux on their Macs.
2) Microsoft continues to faq-up windows. Vista on the launch was a complete fail, whilst W7 mostly only heals what Vista did wrong (vista should have been that, what W7 is...). Previews of W8 are even more depressing.
3) More and more gaming studios start to port games on MacOS, blizzard continues to produce games playable on MacOS on the day-launch.
Funny is... Windows Vista the "worst" example of Micro$oft still beats OS X at 9% vs 6% based on worldwide numbers. I think reviews of Windows 8 have been mostly good.
I agree with your first statement though...I am a long time PC user recent convert to iMac and OS X Lion after enjoying my iPad, iTouch and iPhone purchases.

Commuters using the rail line between Chingford and Liverpool Street have faced major disruptions over the last 24 hours.
Yesterday evening, trains were cancelled or delayed after a fault with the signalling system at Bethnal Green.
The same problem occurred on two occasions last week, with trains terminating at Hackney Downs as a result.
The fault continued this morning with operator Greater Anglia telling passengers to seek alternative routes as it was unable to say when the problem will be fixed.
The rail provider tweeted: "#BethnalGreen - Due to the level of disruption it's been advised not to travel unless your journey is essential."
Many people took to Twitter to complain about the service, which affected the majority of trains out of Liverpool Street.
A statement has been released by Greater Anglia this afternoon.
It said: "I would like to apologise for the delays and cancellations that affected our services throughout the morning of Wednesday 18 June.
"This was caused by a signalling problem outside of Liverpool Street, which temporarily prevented us from running many of our scheduled services into the station.
"Whilst we aimed to provide alternative transport arrangements wherever possible, the reduced line capacity on the lines approaching Liverpool Street unfortunately resulted in lengthy delays for many customers.
"We will be investigating the cause of this incident with Network Rail to help avoid any repeat of this problem.
"Customers who chose not to travel may use their tickets on 19 June.
"If your journey was delayed please submit a claim form using our Delay Repay scheme. Details are available from our stations and website."
All lines have now re-opened but some services may be delayed at short notice.

HOUSTON - It was a dream come true for a veteran and his family, who were handed the keys to their mortgage free home today.
"From the moment that we hit the street, and then the driveway and then you walk in the front door, it was just gorgeous," said Ashley Toppin, the veteran's wife.
For Andrew and Ashley Toppin, a permanent place to call home for their family, is more than they could have ever dreamed, especially after their whole world nearly was torn apart just a few years ago.
"I drove over a road side bomb and it came through, hit the center of the vehicle and the vehicle caught fire, I got out," said Andrew.
In December 2009, Andrew was wounded in Iraq. He suffered the loss of his right leg and injuries to his face, arms and left leg.
"I remember getting loaded onto the helicopter and getting transferred and I kind of passed out, and I woke up in January 2010," Andrew said.
Nearly four years later, the Toppins are grateful to have each other, their daughter and another son born in August.
Their dream of owning a home became a reality through a special partnership with Building Homes for Heroes and JP Morgan Chase & Co.
They plan to move in as soon as they get everything packed up.

Health trends among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are improving in some areas, according to a report released today by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare (AIHW).
The report, Healthy for Life: results for July 2007- June 2011, shows rises in average birthweight, drops in maternal drinking and smoking, and increases in the proportion of clients with health assessments and care plans.
The report presents information from services funded as part of the Healthy for Life program which focuses on improving maternal and child health care and improving prevention, early detection and management of chronic disease. The services are located in all states and territories and across all geographical areas of Australia, providing over 1.1 million episodes of care to 180,000 clients.
'Overall, there have been several improvements in health and healthy behaviours,' said AIHW spokesperson Dr Fadwa Al-Yaman.
'For instance, the proportion of babies with normal birthweight rose from 80.0% to 84.2%, while babies with low birthweight dropped from 15.2% to 13.5% between 2008 and 2011 and average birthweight rose from 3,015 grams to 3,131 grams.'
Alcohol was consumed by 17.9% of women in the third trimester of pregnancy in 2011-a drop from 21.4% since 2008.
Among mothers, there was a very small drop in the proportion who smoked during the third trimester of pregnancy-from 53.4% to 52.4% between 2008 and 2011-an aspect where there is scope for considerable further improvement.
'There have also been improvements in accessing medical care and adoption of good health management practices,' Dr Al-Yaman said.
'For example, in 2011, two in three women attended their first antenatal visit before 20 weeks of pregnancy.'
Increases were seen in the proportions of people with chronic diseases such as diabetes and coronary heart disease who had a GP management plan as part of their treatment.
The proportion of clients who had an MBS GP management plan rose from 24.8% to 31.6% of people with Type 2 diabetes between 2008 and 2011 and from 22.9% to 33.4% for people with coronary heart disease.
Also, the proportion of people with Type 2 diabetes who had a blood pressure test in the last 6 months increased by nearly 10 percentage points from 52.7% to 62.3% between 2007 and 2011.
'This is an indication that more people with chronic disease are being well managed through primary health care services,' Dr Al-Yaman said.
The AIHW is a major national agency set up by the Australian Government to provide reliable, regular and relevant information and statistics on Australia's health and welfare.

Hmm, I thought it was 1 945 characters.Japanese are taught a total of 2,928 characters throughout primary & secondary school. I've learned all of those plus at least another 100 other uncommon & rare characters.
What I prefer to do is memorize the stroke order through repetition and memorize the sound/meaning by associating the character with an image of what it is. My textbook uses this approach to a great extent.

HOUSTON - Funeral arrangements have been announced for State Sen. Mario Gallegos.
Gallegos, 62, died on Tuesday at Methodist Hospital from liver disease. He had a liver transplant in 2007.
The senator's body will lie in state in the Senate Chamber in the Texas Capitol on Friday, starting at 2 p.m.
A visitation will be held at his alma mater, The University of Houston, on Sunday at 4 p.m. A rosary will be held at 6:30 p.m.
His funeral will take place on Monday at Sacred Heart Cathedral, 1701 San Jacinto, beginning at 9:30 a.m. The burial will be a private, family-only ceremony.
The mayor and city council members gathered at City Hall on Wednesday to remember the late senator.
Gallegos name will remain on the November ballot. He was running for re-election against Republican R.W. Bray before he became ill.
Before becoming involved in politics, Gallegos spent 22 years in the Houston Fire Department.
He is survived by his wife, two daughters, son and five grandchildren.
Gov. Rick Perry ordered that flags on state property be lowered to half staff Wednesday through Friday and on the day of his funeral to honor Gallegos.

Healthy Kids
Negative Body Images Start Young
De-emphasizing importance of body size is first step
-Jeannie Gedeon, MPH, RD
The pressure to be thin is a growing problem that has reached dramatic proportions. The number of young girls who show an unhealthy concern over body image is increasing, even in girls as young as 8 to 10. As the media bombards us with visions of beautiful, extremely thin women on billboards and TV and in magazines and movies, young girls may interpret these cues and begin to believe that they must be thin and beautiful to be happy, as well as base their self-worth and esteem on their bodies and their beauty.
Young girls (before preadolescence to their teen years) of adequate weight often perceive themselves as fat. Some girls become very self-conscious in their dissatisfaction with their bodies and actually become depressed and anxious about the way they look. In addition, those who develop a negative body image may also have low self-esteem and make inaccurate nutritional judgments, including severe restrictions such as crash dieting.
Preoccupation with body shape and size can lead to life-threatening disorders such as anorexia and bulimia nervosa. Taken to the extreme, weight concerns can harm the physical, emotional and social growth of children. Parents can play a preventive role by watching for and responding to signs that their daughters may be concerned about their body image, weight and shape. A good strategy is to be on the lookout for any negative influence coming from friends, family or peers – even simple comments can begin to change young girls' thoughts regarding their bodies.
De-emphasizing the perceived importance of body size is the first step in swaying children's thinking toward size acceptance and normalized eating. Parents who have a healthy body image and don't place much emphasis on dieting and beauty decrease the risk of their child developing an unhealthy body image. Having a healthy lifestyle and developing positive esteem are important values that children can learn from their parents, teachers and others who guide them.

Why Pine Trail Isn't Much Faster Than the First Atomby Anand Lal Shimpi on 1/27/2010 12:48 PM EST

stephenbrooks - Friday, February 12, 2010 - linkI'm wondering if this is partly Intel wanting to do the physical integration and logical integration in different steps (like the tick-tock model for mainstream CPUs).
Whenever the x86 vs. ARM on netbooks issue comes up, I comment repeatedly that ARM would do a lot better if someone wrote a program to recompile ("code morph") x86 EXEs into ARM instruction set ones. This need only be done once and the morphed EXEs cached on disk. Reply
UrQuan3 - Wednesday, February 03, 2010 - linkOut of curiosity, what's up with Via's line of CPUs? The only benchmarks done by Anandtech were of a pre-production model that pulled way more power than shipping models.
Are they just too expensive for the market? Reply
MightyDrunken - Friday, January 29, 2010 - linkWhy do I get the feeling that Intel is almost purposefully dragging their feet with the Atom? With the annoying restrictions imposed on memory and the feeble updates to the Atom line thus far I wish for more competition. Do they make only a small amount of profit on the platform and therefore put their efforts elsewhere?
I hope the ARM based netbooks compel Intel to raise their game but I suspect the lack of windows support will severely limit their impact. Guess I will have to wait awhile longer. Reply
QuietOC - Friday, January 29, 2010 - linkIt is amazing how close the $99 Chinese 7" ARM netbooks are to being very nice devices. The screen on my Delstar DS700 (aka Menq EasyPC E790) is much better quality than the piece of junk that is in the Gateway EC18/Acer 1410/1810. Windows CE could be fine for netbooks if Microsoft and the hardware makers worked on it a little. There's good Windows CE software. Even a 500MHz ARM isn't too bad, and something more like Tegra would be better than the Atom. I would also like an even smaller form factor without a touchpad like my old NEC Mobile Pro 900C or the Sony VAIO P series.
As it is the EC18/1410 is worthless without a decent screen, closer to 2GHz, and the touchpad/arrow key problem fixed. The Asus UL20A might solve most of those issues. Reply
JimKiler - Friday, January 29, 2010 - linkWhy haven't Anand compared intel Atom to the AMD Neo with it is built in Radeon 1250 video card. My MSI netbook with this combo can playback Quicktime 720p videos. Reply
LoneWolf15 - Friday, January 29, 2010 - linkThe Neo isn't bad, although battery life doesn't match Atom notebooks, and it runs warmer. It does outperform, though.
I'm really hoping AMD sees Intel's Pine Trail "mistake" and uses this as a chance to catch up. A lower-power Neo or one on a better process combined with an AMD graphics solution could really gain some ground here, if it could be brought to market in time. Reply
ProDigit - Thursday, January 28, 2010 - linkI had suspected something like this when I seen the charts,
It's really a pitty that they did spend time building the memory controller to the graphics core, but not spend time building the memory controller to the CPU.
They would have done better to expect every netbook to have 2GB from now on, and use 2 separate memory controllers; or one controller that allocates 128 or 256MB of RAM to the graphics chip, and the rest to the CPU.
Seemingly the FSB is the culprit, and as I suspected Intel actually equipped the N450 with a lower performing GPU, which benefits from the memory controller's lower latency to boost performance over a GMA950.
It would have benefited me better if the memory controller would be connected to the CPU, as desktop apps would increase in responsiveness, and CPU bound apps would just run better!
But then Intel would have to face the gamers and those who think that a better 3D performance means a better computer.
For marketing purposes they probably went over to connecting the memory controller to the GPU.
But I see very few people actually playing games on these machines. Most of them run apps; and as a sampler device, triggered by a MIDI interface, where audio and program latencies matter most, it would have been most beneficial to see the memory latency drop.
I guess I'll just wait another 2 years then; hopefully Intel will have equipped their Atom processors with a sensor that automatically overclocks the CPU and GPU according to temperature, much like what they are doing with their core-i designs.
If they can combine that technology, with a CPU bound memory controller that does not go through the FSB, then I think netbooks will have the performance levels strong enough to run most desktop apps, and perhaps even run modern games well at their 600pix screens! Reply
AstroGuardian - Thursday, January 28, 2010 - linkSo Intel were too "poor" to develop a true on-die memory controller and therefore they did nothing productive.... Ain't it stupid? Reply
AmdInside - Thursday, January 28, 2010 - linkIntel moved the memory controller to kill of NVIDIA's ION chipset. And to save some money. They aren't doing us any favors. Reply
LoneWolf15 - Thursday, January 28, 2010 - linkYep. Only at this point, it didn't do them any favors either, IMO, except for the less educated user.
We're evaluating a purchase of about 30 netbooks for an educational use --and Ion wins. Nothing with an Intel chipset will do what we want. Reply
piroroadkill - Thursday, January 28, 2010 - linkI was going to chime in with this. This is of no use to the end user. Reply
cyberserf - Thursday, January 28, 2010 - linkQFT Reply
IntelUser2000 - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkI'll speculate that the Lincroft chip will have a much faster memory controller than Pineview.
Diamondville was essentially a value, Celeron like version of Silverthorne and Pineview is similar value version of Lincroft. Even though the rumored clocks of Lincroft lie at 1.2GHz, its said to be fast as current Netbook CPU. Won't happen without significantly enhancing the performance. Reply
PrinceGaz - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkIf AMD were to go under, the same as has happened here would happen with desktop processors-- improvements in designs would be much less significant and take longer to arrive. You could also expect to pay a very high price for the newest version ($999 or more) for a much longer time than you do now. Reply
morphologia - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkThey really need to catch up though. Granted, I can really appreciate how much of their resources overall that they've invested in their ATI entity, given all the excellent products they've churned out. But they're quickly becoming a CPU also-ran, less than relevant in the grand scheme. Reply
Penti - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkAt least AMD now plans on taking the mobile space seriously. K8 parts where just stupid, almost as much as P4s in notebooks. Lets see how the cooking turned out in 2011. Reply
QuietOC - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkRegor + 785G could be a nice alternative to Intel's CULV platform. AMD seems just as intent as Intel on dumping old chips into small, cheap portables. Reply
mczak - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkThis is quite similar to what Clarkdale does. Granted, it uses QPI instead of FSB but the effects to memory latency are similar (then again, you'd expect this to make much less performance difference with this architecture, and it certainly doesn't seem to affect things much).
So if intel can "unintegrate" the MC (from Nehalem to Clarkdale) without too much effort, they surely could do the opposite too. Next atom chip I'd guess... Reply
RU482 - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkguess we'll have to wait until Newton Creek Reply
Mr Perfect - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkI'm guessing that's the code name for the next Atom(It doesn't google well)? Are we sure a truly integrated MC will happen even then? Or will Intel just sit on this until they need to boost Atom in the face of competition? Reply
Inspector2211 - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkIntel does not want to cannibalize sales of its Core 2 mobile chips (and its brand new "Arrandale" chips) by making Atom too fast.
That said, just about a month from now the N470 Atom will be released - 1.83 GHz, up from the N450's 1.66 GHz. The N470 is the one to get. Forget the N450. Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkI don't think it's much of a concern. Even at 2.0GHz single core Atom is dog slow compared to any Core 2 processor. Atom is about low cost and low power; unless there are some real power savings to be had by improving the memory controller, there's not much point in working to improve Atom performance. What we should have gotten was something closer to the new Intel HD Graphics in Pine Trail; at least then it would be useful for a few more applications. Now we'll have to wait for Pine Trail + Broadcom Crystal HD. Reply
QuietOC - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkMy 1.4GHz Core 2 Solo SU3500 is sometimes slower than a 2GHz Atom core.
I thought it was obvious that Pinetrail still retained the old Netburst FSB. It is basically Atom + die shrunk G31(aka P35/G33)--that actually should have been the original Netbook combo. Intel just didn't want to discount those chips at the time. Look at what they are now charging for "new" chipsets which are old 65nm southbridges! Reply
JarredWalton - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkYes, Core 2 Solo. Never did quite get that CPU line, considering the Core 2 Duo is only a bit more and does substantially better in most areas. Even power doesn't favor the Core 2 Solo all that much. Reply
strikeback03 - Thursday, January 28, 2010 - linkMaybe I'm just looking in the wrong places, but it seems all the CULV dual-cores are $700 and up, while the single-core ones can be found for $500 or less. I wish the dual-core ones were only slightly more expensive. Reply
JarredWalton - Thursday, January 28, 2010 - linkReally like a lot of this... some will be put off by the 15.6" chassis, but that's the only drawback:
11.6" model in red:
...or black (local pickup only):
...or at Amazon (for a bit more):
So the dual-core prices can range from close to $400 if you're lucky (Celeron SU2300 models) up to around $600. I think the Pentium SU4100 models are probably the best blend of price/performance for CULV right now. Reply
QuietOC - Friday, January 29, 2010 - linkSo compared to my $380 EC1803u: I would lose 100MHz and 1MB of cache with the same crappy screen and awful keyboard and trackpad.
The GMA4500MHD is the only reason to get these, and that could work just as well with a faster Atom. Reply
Jorgisven - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkCould this be considered a tick in the Intel architecture, toward the 45nm process? Normally there are some performance improvements according to Intel's own website, http://www.intel.com/technology/tick-tock/index.ht...">http://www.intel.com/technology/tick-tock/index.ht.... But since the atom chip itself is already fairly small, they didn't change the process size, just crammed more into the same die, making it almost like a minor tock? Doesn't seem to follow their normal protocol. I hate when monopolies create situations like this, it lets companies get lazy. Reply
Inspector2211 - Wednesday, January 27, 2010 - linkWhat do you mean "towards the 45nm process" ???
The Atom ***is*** 45nm.
I think you wanted to say "towards the 32nm process?" - and the answer is, since they are releasing Gulftown on 32nm just 1 1/2 months from now, implementing Atom on 32nm would have been a piece of cake, but was not done for cost/benefit reasons. Reply
Taft12 - Sunday, January 31, 2010 - linkRight, why would Intel waste production on their newest and smallest process on a platform that is not very profitable and indeed eats into higher margin business (lost laptop CPU sales).
Anand just explained why Pinetrail is not much better from a technical perspective, but from a business perspective, Atom performance is right where Intel wants it (in fact, I've postulated many times Intel wishes they had never released Atom at all). Reply

joaopft - Tuesday, September 14, 2010 - linkIntel designed the Atom because they were being shamed by designs of other companies on the low power / low cost market. On the other hand, Intel does not want to destroy their PC market. So, marketing constraints create difficulties for Intel.
From what I see, this is a fake integrated memory controller. The on-chip FSB had to developed (it is the first time this has been done), and it surely costed money. And it is a cumbersome design anyway, that is now the main cause of the performance problems of this platform. I suspect this has been done with a sole purpose --- market segmentation.
Intel stoped short of integrating the memory controler properly because the Atom platform would then compete with higher priced double core processors in many applications -- core i3's, for instance. This would ruin Intel's business on the consumer desktop market. But the future of the consumer market is the low power and low cost desktop or netbook. And, with the memory frequencies approaching the frequencies of processor cores, with a decent memory controller it would be possible to extract some serious performance out of in-order execution cores.

Wine of the Week: Campovida Grenache Rosé – Mendocino
Several weeks ago, on behalf of the North Coast chapter of the Rhone Rangers, Quivira Winery and I hosted a rosé tasting featuring 12 rosés from North Coast producers. The event was a smash success with attendees with dozens of positive comments and feedback.
As part of the audience participation, attendees received a handout with details on each wine, and when they were done with their tasting submitted a ballot for their top two wines of the day. All wines were well represented and received multiple votes, by the winner, by a fair margin, was the Campovida Grenache rosé. To celebrate their success, and a classic summer sipper, its featured as wine of the week.
About Campovida
Campovida is a family owned and operated certified organic farm and working vineyard. This unique place offers deep connections with nature, wine tasting, a professional culinary kitchen, a 10-room retreat center. It's a place where you can relax,enjoy and create your custom gatherings.
Several years ago Campovida embraced Rhone varieties, and under the watch of new winemaker Sebastian Donoso, formerly at Saracina, some amazing wine are being released. A winery and winemaker to watch.
Campovida also recently opened a new tasting room in Oakland, which I am eager to go visit. (Campovida Announces New Winemaker and Tasting Room)

- Campovida Tasting Room: 13601 Old River Road, Hopland CA Phone: 707.400.6300
Wine of The Week: Campovida Grenache Rosé
To The Eye: The Campovida rosé is an immediate eye catcher. A brilliant, beautiful light orange hue of pink grapefruit skin
On The Nose: Expressive notes of tangerine, pink grapefruit, powdered sugar (not sweet though)
On the Palate: Wonderful bright but round fruit and citrus on the front palate. Mid palate, mouth watering flavors of citrus. The finish is long, lingering with notes of spice and mouthwatering acidity and minerality.
I tasted both at room temperature, and proper chilled cellar temp, this wine exhibits no flaws or astringency, only great balance, the sign of a well made rosé. Rosé is actually one of the most difficult wines there is to vinify, with narrow margin for error, bravo to Sebastian for job well done.
A wine that will pair well with a wide array of summer dishes, from oysters to summer salads, and cialis order online grilled white meats and fishes.

Denver-- Attorney General Ken Salazar issued a legal opinion to government and law enforcement officials regarding the authority of state and local officials to order and enforce disaster evacuations in Colorado.
Salazar advised Governor Bill Owens, Colorado's sheriffs, district attorneys, and county and municipal officials that they do have the authority under emergency situations to order the evacuation of citizens and enforce the order should they choose to do so. A person disobeying these orders can be charged with the crime of obstructing government operations or obstructing a police officer or firefighter. The crimes are punishable with jail of up to one year and fines up to $1,000. The authority to enforce these laws is found in Colorado statutes and the power of the government to protect the safety and welfare of the community in disaster emergency circumstances. ********************************************
June 27, 2002
Honorable Bill Owens, Governor Office of the Governor 136 State Capitol Denver, CO 80203 Jim Sullivan, President Colorado Counties, Inc. 1700 Broadway, Suite 1510 Denver, CO 80290 Honorable John Warner, President County Sheriffs of Colorado Routt County Sheriff P.O. Box 773087 Steamboat Springs, CO 80477 Greg Clifton, President Colorado Municipal League 1144 Sherman Street Denver, CO 80203-2207 G.W. Sandstrom, President Colorado District Attorneys' Council District Attorney, Tenth Judicial District 201 W. 8th Street, Suite 801 Pueblo, CO 81003-3050
I want to confirm the legal authority of state and local officials and sheriffs to order disaster evacuations in Colorado. The wildfires burning partially out of control in several areas of the state have prompted evacuation orders, and anyone questioning an evacuation imperils the safety of firefighters and other citizens.
Orders to evacuate areas in danger from wildfires are lawful and criminally enforceable in Colorado. For the safety of everyone, citizens and visitors to this state are obligated to evacuate when required.
The government's ability to require evacuations in the face of wildfires and other grave perils is rooted in the most fundamental reason for the existence of government, the protection of the safety of the public. In re Interrogatories of the Governor on Chapter 118, Sess. Laws 1935, 52 P.2d 663, 667 (Colo. 1935) (constitution of Colorado presupposes the power of government to protect people as an inherent attribute of sovereignty) (citations omitted). The varied actions taken by state and local governments in Colorado to fight ongoing wildfires are examples of government protecting our communities from natural and man-induced threats.
Evacuations are ordered in the face of approaching wildfires for compelling reasons. The personal safety of the evacuees is at risk. Evacuations protect law enforcement and rescue personnel who otherwise would confront an out-of-control fire, in circumstances not of their choosing, to aid endangered citizens. Evacuations enable authorities to remove residents from a dangerous area in an orderly and timely way, before a rapidly approaching fire creates panic and the traffic and other problems that hysteria can cause. Evacuations also remove citizens from areas in which they endanger or hamper fire fighting efforts. Finally, evacuation orders avoid the need to divert emergency response and relief personnel from other duties when a fire approaches.
The legal basis for government to control individual behavior in this way cannot seriously be questioned in this emergency circumstance. The government acts to protect the safety and welfare of the community through the exercise of its "police powers." E.g., In re Interrogatories of the Governor on Chapter 118, Sess Laws 1935, supra, 52 P.2d 663; Sligh v. Kirkwood, 237 U.S. 52 (1915) (police power "is not subject to definite limitations, but is coextensive with the necessities of the case and the safeguards of the public interest. . . It embraces regulations designed to promote public convenience or the general prosperity or welfare, as well as those specifically intended to promote the public safety or the public health.") (citations omitted); Lucas v. South Carolina Coastal Council, 505 U.S. 1003 (1992) (citing "long line" of cases sustaining the use of state police powers against challenges under the Due Process and Takings Clauses of the federal Constitution); Kelley v. Johnson, 425 U.S. 238 (1976) ("The promotion of safety of persons and property is unquestionably at the core of the State's police power . . .")
Protection of the common good justifies actions of government that range from disaster response for public safety to the regulation of commerce and other economic activity for the public welfare. Zeigler v. People, 124 P.2d 593, 598 (Colo. 1942). The more clear and dangerous the threat to the community, the more obvious is the government's legal power to act.
Ordinarily, a citizen or visitor to Colorado is at liberty to stay at a place of his or her choosing. This liberty interest gives way to the paramount government interest of protecting public safety when the community faces a disaster. The law provides several varied examples of this principle, three of which are described below.
The first case involves Hurricane Andrew, which struck Dade County, Florida in August, 1992 with overwhelming force. The hurricane devastated buildings, homes, roads, power facilities and other services. As disaster control measures, Dade County officials imposed curfews that lasted until mid-November, 1992. During curfew hours, citizens were not free to leave their homes, a very significant restriction on individual liberty. The United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit upheld these curfews in Smith v. Avino, 91 F.3d 105 (11th Cir 1996), abrogated on unrelated grounds, Steel Co. v. Citizens for a Better Environment, 523 U.S. 83 (1998). It noted the courts have "consistently held it is a proper exercise of police power to respond to emergency situations with temporary curfews that might curtail the movement of persons who otherwise would enjoy freedom from restriction. . . . In such circumstance, governing authorities must be granted the proper deference and wide latitude necessary for dealing with the emergency. 91 F.3d at 109. The Court concluded, "[i]n an emergency situation, fundamental rights such as the right to travel and free speech may be temporarily limited or suspended. Id.
In the second case, facing the threat of a smallpox epidemic in the early 1900s, Cambridge, Massachusetts enacted a law requiring everyone to receive smallpox vaccinations. Henning Jacobson refused to be vaccinated. He was convicted for his refusal and fined five dollars, to be paid in lieu of going to jail. Justice Harlan wrote for the United States Supreme Court that upheld Jacobson's criminal conviction. He observed, "the liberty secured by the Constitution . . . to every person . . . does not import an absolute right in each person to be, at all times and in all circumstances, wholly freed from restraint. There are manifold restraints to which every person is necessarily subject for the common good. . . . Society based on the rule that each one is a law unto himself would soon be confronted with disorder and anarchy. . . . Even liberty, the greatest of all rights, is not unrestricted license to act according to one's own will. . . ." Jacobson v. Massachusetts, 197 U.S. 11, 26-27 (1905) (internal quotes and citations omitted).
The final example arose when county officials in Wyoming confronted a different type of emergency, and ordered the evacuation of a community near Rawhide, Wyoming in the late 1980s. The evacuation was prompted by lethal gas pollution seeping underground beneath a subdivision built near a coal mine. A resident named Miller challenged the power of the county to evacuate the subdivision. He lost, first in the federal district court in Wyoming and then in the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit in Denver. Miller v. Campbell County, 722 F.Supp 687 (D.Wyo. 1989); Miller v. Campbell County, 945 F.2d 348 (10th Cir. 1991). The district court rejected Miller's argument that the county improperly interfered with his liberty to live in the subdivision, and cited the police powers of the county granted by a state civil defense statute. It affirmed that the government's powers "clearly include the power to order an evacuation of an area within the county stricken by a disaster of natural causes such as the seepage of lethal gases." 722 F.Supp. at 693.
The power of the government to act quickly and decisively in the face of a looming disaster increases with the proximity and size of the public danger. See, e.g., Yakus v. United States, 321 U.S. 414, 422-23, 431-49 (1944) (emergency caused by World War II justifies price controls and significant administrative restrictions on commerce); Miller v. Campbell County, supra, 722 F.Supp. at 690-93 (discussing emergency takings of property). An approaching wildfire is an example of a pressing and substantial danger that empowers government to act with particular speed and certainty to protect the public good.
The legislature codifies the state's police powers as needed to protect the public safety and welfare. Bland v. People, 76 P. 359 (Colo. 1904); Missouri Pac. R. Co. v. City of Omaha, 235 U.S. 121, 127 (1914). In Colorado, the General Assembly has enacted statutes that allow state and local officials to order and to enforce evacuations.
When an emergency is declared, the General Assembly has bestowed upon the Governor and local authorities broad and enumerated powers to respond appropriately. The Colorado Disaster Emergency Act of 1992, located at § 24-32-2101, C.R.S., describes these powers. Its purpose, among others, is to "[c]larify and strengthen the roles of the governor, state agencies, and local governments in prevention of, preparation for, response to, and recovery from disasters." § 24-32-2102(d), C.R.S.
When the Governor responds to a wildfire or other disaster by declaring a "disaster emergency" in an executive order or proclamation, he triggers his powers under this statute. § 24-32-2103(1.5), C.R.S. ("disaster" includes "fire" and many other enumerated dangers). Among his other powers, the Governor can "[d]irect and compel the evacuation of all or part of the population from any stricken or threatened part of the state [if necessary for public safety or disaster response.]" § 24-32-2104(7)(e), C.R.S. Governor Owens issued an executive order declaring a statewide disaster emergency due to wildfires on June 10, 2002. Executive Order No. D01402.
Local governments are also empowered by the General Assembly under this statute. § 24-32-2109, C.R.S. A "local disaster" can be declared by the principal executive officer of a political subdivision of the state. § 24-32-2109(1), C.R.S. Upon that declaration, the response and recovery aspects of any and all local and interjurisdictional disaster emergency plans are activated. § 24-32-2109(2). A plan that authorizes evacuations furnishes the legal power to the local jurisdiction to issue evacuation orders. In addition, the General Assembly has elsewhere noted that management of local fires is the responsibility of local authorities in appropriate areas. § 24-30-304, C.R.S.
Colorado's sheriffs occupy a unique position with regard to evacuation orders. They are elected, constitutional officers. Colo. Const., Art. XIV, § 8. They exercise powers described in the constitution and in statute, but they also possess residual common law powers. Newman v. People, 47 P. 278, 282 (Colo. 1896); People ex rel. State Bd. Of Equalization v. Pitcher, 138 P. 509, 512-14 (Colo. 1914) (discussing powers of the county assessor and citing at length a description of the powers of sheriffs); McMillan v. Monroe County, 520 U.S. 781 (1941) (sheriff represents the sovereignty of the state in his or her county). The sheriffs also exercise those powers necessarily implied by the existence of their office. People v. Buckallew, 848 P.2d 904, 908 (Colo. 1993) (in addition to express powers, sheriffs implied powers "which are reasonably necessary to execute those express powers"); Skidmore v. O'Rourke, 383 P.2d 473, 475 (Colo. 1963) (implied powers accompany the constitutional office of county treasurer).
These powers are embodied in the common shorthand description of Colorado's sheriffs as the chief law enforcement officials in Colorado's counties. They are reflected in the sheriffs' very broad statutory authority to keep the peace. § 30-10-516, C.R.S.; e.g., Morris v. Faulkner, 46 Ill. App.3d 625, 361 N.E.2d 112, 115-116 (sheriff acts lawfully to keep the peace when he directs occupants to leave a tavern after reports of potential trouble). In the face of a dire emergency, the powers of the sheriffs broadly allow them to use their best judgment, so they may act effectively to protect overall public safety. See Smith v. Avino, supra, 91 F.3d at 109; Walter H. Anderson, 1 A Treatise on the Law of Sheriffs, Coroners and Constables § 6 (1941) (to protect the peace "it becomes the sheriff's right, and it is his duty, to determine what the public safety and tranquility demand, and to act accordingly").
Colorado's sheriffs have particularly broad and important legal powers and duties to fight fires. See, generally, Colorado Attorney General Opinion 01-2 (July 23, 2001) (fire fighting duties of sheriffs and fire protection districts). The sheriffs are the fire wardens of the counties in Colorado in the case of prairie or forest fires. § 30-10-512, C.R.S. Sheriffs are required to assume "charge" of prairie or forest fires or to assist other governmental authorities to control and extinguish such fires. § 30-10-513, C.R.S. Sheriffs seek aid to fight fires on private property in unincorporated areas of counties. § 30-10-513.5, C.R.S. They enforce all state forest fire laws. § 23-30-306, C.R.S.
For the important public safety reasons described in detail at the outset of this letter, a necessary adjunct to fighting fires, in this instance, is the power to order people to remove themselves from areas of danger in appropriate circumstances. Therefore, sheriffs have the legal ability to order an evacuation.
Evacuation orders of the Governor, local authorities, and sheriffs are enforced by criminal sanctions, and a person disobeys an evacuation order at his or her peril. A person commits the crime of obstructing government operations if, by using or threatening to use violence, force, or physical interference or obstacle, he or she intentionally obstructs, impairs, or hinders the performance of the governmental function by a public servant. § 18-8-102(1), C.R.S. A person commits the crime of obstructing a police officer or fire fighter or other rescuer if the person uses or threatens violence, force, physical interference, or an obstacle and knowingly obstructs, impairs, or hinders the enforcement of a penal law or the preservation of the peace by a peace officer or the prevention, control, or abatement of fire by a fire-fighter. § 18-8-104(1)(a), C.R.S.
These crimes are misdemeanors. They are punishable by imprisonment of up to six months and a year, respectively, and fine of up to $750 and $1000. § 18-1-106(1), C.R.S. An order for restitution also caused can be imposed. § 16-18.5-103, C.R.S.
I hope this review is helpful to government officials and Colorado citizens as Colorado confronts these unprecedented wildfire conditions.

I get over 90% signal quality, but hd output is choppy and I can view only 25% of the picture. SD channels, hoewver, display OKAY. This may be a waste of money, so make sure you buy it from a store that has a good return policy. Better off going with my wintv-d-- only $40 from ebay-- I get all the HD channels and can record them on hard drive. Reply

jiulemoigt - Tuesday, June 29, 2004 - linkLOL some people simple review stuff without actully understanding what it does, what it pretends to do, and what it simply ignores. I for one would like to see any HD decoder support one of three things one DVI interface, BGN interface (I'm going to laugh if any one even knows what that is), or any other device able to support the bandwidth of 1080i. Though I don't happen to know a third device that does and if the display is big enough you need dual DVI's or a very expensive deciated BGN driver(it's a piece of hardware, I'm not refering to software coding here)... Reply
CZroe - Saturday, June 26, 2004 - linkThis product is a huge disappointment. I have happily delayed my XP-MCE PVR HTPC for this product because I saw no reason for it to exist unless it 1) Trumps existing HD tuner cards and 2) Brings HDTV to Media Center Edition PCs and other PVR software. It does neither and neither the Anandtech nor HotHardware articles even touch on these aspects. In fact, I expected to at least have a little insight into the PCI bandwidth issue... I was told that the original WinTV-D downsampled all high resolution HDTV content and cited the advantages as being either "you have it clear or you don't have it at all" reception and slightly-higher than normal SDTV resolution. Their reasoning were supposedly to avoid saturating the PCI bus with high-resolution video overlays. How does this card solve that problem? I'm not talking about CPU performance while recording (That was touched on) and I'm not just talking about its own internal bandwidth to the video card for overlays (Though that should have been touched on too)! I'm talking about systems with RAID0 arrays and Gigabit network cards utilizing the 133MBps PCI bus simultaneously as a home media and live TV server (Like SnapStream PVR does for standard TV tuners currently).
Basically, this card is entirely inadequate for the XPC owners who were waiting to make use of this yet I didn't hear any disadvantages cited for the OBVIOUSLY interested audience.
Now, the most obvious reason for adding an HDTV tuner to an HTPC is to use it as a HTDV tuner for your home theater and avoid a costly dedicated HDTV-tuner purchase while adding the capabilities of HTPC PVR, DVD transfers and media recordings. NONE OF THESE USAGE SCENARIOS WERE ADDRESSED! I'd imagine that only a small fraction of total users aren't expecting to use this with their wide-screen LCD monitors or HDTV-monitors at home. The fact that this card doesn't have a single redeeming feature for these people is intolerable and ATI should be ashamed of releasing such an obsolescence-bound piece of hardware. If ATI truly wants to be in Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition PCs, you think they'd at leasts make sure to include hardware assisted MPEG2 encoding. Yes, I am aware that HDTV IS MPEG2 already but all stand-alone HDTV tuners will output HDTV the resolution and display mode optimal for your TV (Such as it's native 720p or 1080i mode to avoid internal scaling). This would take an ungodly amount of CPU power to handle HDTV-resolution video in real time.
This card should have been reviewed from one or two perspectives:
1) As an HDTV tuner for your Home Theater competing with other dedicated HDTV tuners including perceived drawbacks, advantages and comparisons.
2) As a device that will finally answer the question about upcoming HDTV support in Media Center Edition or other PC PVR options. Yes or no? Why does anyone even give a crap about this card at face value with ATI's software?
Can I record my own WMV9 HD-DVD's instead of hunting for bonuses and extras in retail movies (Yes, but it will require professional transcoding software)? Can I connect and record XBOX in HDTV resolutions (No, there are no component)? remaster new natively Progressive Scan DVDs based on a capture from a high-end DVD player that handles improperly flagged content well (No, there are no DVI inputs and there is no such thing as a consumer HDTV RF Modulator)? Why do we not even have a picture of the break-out box? Sure, we have all inferred the answers to these but the article doesn't even acknowledge the possibilities or disappointments. Reply

glennpratt - Wednesday, June 23, 2004 - linkThis article borders on fanboism. Please don't sit at ATi's feat waiting for them to dribble poorly supported cards with terrible OEM interfaces and be happy.
ATi's has been in the game a long time and has left me with no reason to trust them, they are stingy with drivers and stability is often poor. I have 3 AIW's and a TV Wonder, I finally gave up and bought an Avermedia M150 and use real PVR software and I will never look back. When a real HD card that actually add's some needed features comes along, then I will go there. Reply
bblake12 - Wednesday, June 23, 2004 - linkThe WinTV Cards MDP 100/120 and the Hauppage cards are designed more to display off-air HDTV signals on your PC and also your HDTV. They also allow PVR functionality. They do not have component inputs only S-Video/Composite . You can get a DVI daughterboard with the MDP-120 that has DVI out for DVI monitors and you can also split out the HD-15 to RCA outputs for component output.
Here is the answer to the question above regarding inputting Cable\Satellite HDTV signals
"All HDTV card "stores" high-def signals in their raw data form and decodes the signal during playback. Since Cable and Satellite services do not use 8VSB modulation, their signals require dedicated tuners, and once decoded, cannot be routed to the input of the HDTV PC cards "
epking - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - linkdoes this card have component in? It would seem like including this would have been a no-brainer, that way users with directv hdtv,dishtv,cable ect, could just input their set-top recievers component input into the card...I wouldn't buy an hdtv card that didn't have this feature. The review really should have addressed this issue as well as component out. I mean the reviewer expects ATI to include decoders for sat broadcast or cable decoders, which is a virtual impossibility, but fails to even mention that component input would somewhat suffice. I think it was a decent review, but it left out a number of important issues. Reply
PaulDriver - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - linkThere are several HD TV cards around, but the MyHD MDP-100/120 (ustilising the same basic hardware as the Hauppauge card) offers the best functionality of any card in the current market.
Judging by the review here, the ATI product cannot compete with the MyHD MDP-100/120 ( http://www.digitalconnection.com/Products/Video/md... )
I have a mini review of the WinTV-HD at tv-cards.com ( http://www.tv-cards.com/messageboard/viewtopic.php... )

cinfulsounds - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - linkI have digital cable and I would like to know if this card will pick up digital cable channels!? I know in the article it says that this card can not pick up HDTV Channels on digital cable, but does this include the other non HDTV, digital cable channels?
enricong - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - linkHow does this compare to the MyHD2
I have this card too. but I'm dualbooting WinXP64 because they don't have 64 bit drivers. I figure ATI will be more likely to make 64bit drivers Reply
bblake12 - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - linkFact: There are several companies making HD Tuner Cards. One of the major cards out there is MyHD
"In fact, the only major company that we are aware of making an HDTV tuner for PCs is Hauppauge, but the WinTV-HD hasn't sold in the same volumes for Hauppauge as their analog WinTV tuners. Add in the vacuum of HDTV supported multimedia software (MCE, Beyond TV, SageTV, Multimedia Center, Forceware Multimedia, etc...), and you get a recipe for a PC market not ready to embrace HDTV technology."
AndrewKu - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - link#12 - 480i is the approximate quality of analog TV broadcasting. As for the tubes in some of your TVs, some do display the signal in a lower res, like 512x400. There should be several websites that have this in their information docs. Try "analog tv 480i" in google or something. So we are both kind of right… :)
#13 - I think you make a good point, and this was something I was debating myself. My consideration was based on three other points: pricing, availability, and future software support. On the pricing issue, HDTV Wonder is at the cheapest pricing point I have heard of for a PC HDTV tuner. No other HDTV tuner can be bought or will be able to be bought at a retail store for the near future, at least according to our last talks with the stores a while back. And future software support is something that a company like ATI will have to do in order to keep their product in retail stores (i.e. EazyShare DTV). Hope that explains our line of thought a bit more. Reply
joeld - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - linkMy take on the card - it had better be darned good/stable/etc for me to pay 200 dollars on a non-hardware HDTV tuner card. I bought a DVICO FusionHDTV last year (or maybe before that) and it was only 140 bucks or so. Reply
mcveigh - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - linkthis is too limited to have earned an editor's choice.
Andrew check out what the people at avsforums thinkof the card and it's competitors. Reply
joeld - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - linkI've only read to page four and I'm not too impressed with the article so far. It seems that a little more research should have been done or something before bringing the article to print. Hauppage isn't the only company bringing HDTV tuner cards to the market. I haven't been interested in HTPC's in a year at least, and I remember looking at products from MyHD and buying a tuner card from DVICO (their original FusionHDTV).
I stopped reading this article after reading that analog signals are 640x480. It's been a while since I've researched this topic, but I know this is not true. Reply
Kaido - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - linkAndrewKu - I'll have to give MMC 8.8 a try. EazyShare looks really cool...does it require a good video card to run the server? I have enough spare parts to build another box, I just need a motherboard and a cpu ($29 for a cheap mobo off newegg and about $50 for a 1.8ghz athlon). I don't want to blow another $100 or $200 for a video card for a server tho.
Also, should I install the latest version of Catalyst, or should I install 3.x like in the MMC article? Reply
AndrewKu - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - link#2- It cannot function as the second device to support PiP/MultiView, but it should in a later release of MMC.
#6 and 8 - You are sending a digital signal of a digital signal to your digital monitor. DVI output comes via your video card, not the HDTV Wonder as #7 mentioned.
#8 - If you are talking about PAL support, this is an NTSC version. As we understand it, this is for the North American market only. This isn't really for the gamer per say; this is just a nice way to get DTV into your home without having to pay the expensive cost of a HDTV. And yes, you can just plug in an antenna to the RF connector that is what I mentioned in the review. An antenna is not necessarily analog or digital; it is the signal that is categorized as such.
#9 - If you are having trouble with EazyShare, you might want to try looking at our MMC8.8 review. We worked out and tried to manipulate every single bug occurrence. In our experience, your system configuration should be stable with MMC and a TV Wonder Pro. Though, I am not sure what your specific issues are. Reply
Kaido - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - linkI have an ATI TV Wonder Pro with Remote Control...the only thing good about it is the remote control, lol. The TV software was fairly buggy for me, plus the required specs aren't really true - I had a 1.4ghz Athlon, 1gb ram, and a radeon 9600xt, and it'd still skip while recording if I even opened Internet Explorer. That and I didn't care for the GUI.
I hope ATI has a trade-up program for their TV tuners like they do their video cards...anyone know if they do? I may go with Hauppauge next tho...their USB2 TV tuner is looking pretty good. Reply
justbrowzing - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - linkA few pretty basic questions from France, where DTV lags the US:
Reception: can you just plug in an antenna to the digital jack for capture?
Will it work in Europe, too?
Can you use a 9600se card & still get the noted benefits? This is an extremely expensive solution ($400 USD or 500 Euros) for us non-gamers, btw, though a tidy racket for ATI.
No DVI? So then you're sending an analog version of a digital signal to your digital-capable monitor?
You mention Hauppage's DTV tuner, it would have been nice to have known more about its capabilities & how it compares & sacrifice a few photos of the tuna salad surprise. Reply

Those who have AIW based HTPC's will be eager to know this. Reply
Doormat - Tuesday, June 22, 2004 - linkSad this card doesnt support QAM, my cable co puts out local HD channels in the clear. Then there is the new CableCard standard.
Of course, if it had a firewire port and appropriate software, I could hook it up to my HD set and record software! Reply

90% of apps are pointless some fart apps or stupid **** like that........ and i really could care less for touch screen only games
iPhone is great yes but apple as a company really sucks now there going downhill without jobs leading then tim cook is a ******* idiot him and steve balmer would get along well because there both ******* stupid
U must also have an audi r8 fitted with a CNG car kit..
But do excuse the rest of us who like to do more with a phone than stare at its abnormally large screen and like people's comments on facebook while listening to a random pandora song.
We truly are crazy enough to utilize our modern devices to their potential.
Not knowing how and understanding a product are two different things. People think that screen is what? Just so amazing to be that big ? Maybe Andre the Giant would of used it....
And I agree with you... Hey look a post on Facebook.... Sounds like a great time and reason to buy this abnormal large screened Device ** cough ** COPY ** cough ** the real question is does this "amazing" Note 2 come in other colors too???? Lol
Apple iDevices are only awesome when they're jailbroken. Droids come out of the box better than iPhones probably ever will lol. I still like my iPhone better than my Galaxy S2x though. A jailbreak trumps all other phones 10 fold when you know what your doing with it As for the company itself, Idc what they do as long as they keep putting holes in there iOS for the dev team to find.
EXACTLY. I have 3 iPhones and 2 iPads and never going to get another Apple device.
I've always hated the company and loved what jailbreakers did to make the devices closer to the android and more open which it should be from the start.
The more Apple lock it up the more appealing Android devices become.
Instead of Apple taking your money and making a better device they spend it on lawsuits and lawyers. If they spent it on more R&D think how good the iPhone could've been by now.
You droid boys are so funny, Apple a bad company for suing, really? If you owned a company and someone kept stealing your stuff you would sit there and so nothing (well probably because that's what you already probably do anyways)......Samsung has had their share of lawsuits against Apple and other companies which you fail to mention. I noticed droid boys never use facts in their arguments. 90% fart apps or useless? Go back to school dumb *%#, do the math. That's just not true, I have far more business, productive and useful apps than what you describe. That's just a comment of ignorance you have made and shows your intelligence. I've used every phone and will continue to choose all Apple Products. I also enjoy supporting an American company. The profits stay here, not go to Korea where they are laughing all the way to the bank. I'm amazed by you Slamslung loyalty to a foreign company and that you only see what they want you to see.
Samsung and Apple are at war so this is just the beginning of a more drawn out battle.
I like the iphone and galaxy s3 , bit fed up paying for every good game on the iphone while its free on android , yes the free apps come with adverts but a simple free ad blocker removes them , iphone is too limited , only itunes for apps where as android has amazon as well , having said that i would not get rid of my iphone , i use them both , one is better at somethings and the same on the other system
I went from droid 2.3.3 to iOS 5.1 and will never return unless they give me a really good reason. But I still hate Fapple as a company. And I don't understand how they won the first case or could win this one.

Russian zoo death as woman cleaner walks into wrong enclosure by mistake. "It's surely not the tiger's fault. She was merely defending her home," said a zoo official in Ukraine's capital. The Amur tiger originated in Siberia reported The Times (UK) March 11 p38.
Editorial Comment: As the world becomes more evolutionistic animals logically gain more equality with man, who is increasingly viewed as merely one more product of random natural processes. The real world God created has been commanded to run on different rules. After Noah's flood God gave previously vegetarian man permission to kill and eat animals. Wisely He then both put a fear of man on the animals and legislated that any animal that attacked and killed a man had to be put to death (Genesis 9:5). The Amur tiger above is no exception. What is the basis of this law? Genesis 9:6 states the reason clearly: 'man alone is made in the image of God.' (Ref. Law, Justice, Animal rights)

Manufacturing Sponsored by
As the founder and owner of skin care brand Brazilian Peel, there are many decisions I need to make to ensure the success of the brand and the products. And one of the most important is my decision about what contract manufacturer to work with. Beauty brands that work with contract manufacturers definitely develop a partnership with their manufacturer, meaning sharing goals, challenges, opportunities, solutions and more, and consequently, choosing the right contract manufacturer is essential.
There are three requirements for being my contract manufacturer: I believe you can make what is needed, you come recommended by someone I trust, and you are easy to work with. The success of Brazilian Peel and the growth of its parent company Advanced Home Actives are based on this model. Developing and deploying new products takes great partners with strong and comprehensive trade relationships, and building and nurturing trade relationships leads to the successful design and delivery of innovative products.
In starting out, the dynamics of new product development are exciting, but the complexity can be daunting for a small company or brand. Meanwhile, most contract manufacturers survive on the volume of large beauty brands. This work drives the formalized disciplines of good manufacturing practices, but can also lead to a loss of flexibility and creativity when bringing on new products.
But what if you are starting from scratch? How does an entrepreneur find the right people to help build an emerging brand, providing the network of resources to launch a brand and keep it on retail shelves? How do you leverage the infrastructure and experience of contract manufacturers to keep overhead low while growing a brand from the ground up? The following is the story of how Brazilian Peel did it, learning lessons and solving challenges along the way.
Brazilian Peel started with a skin care product, an at-home glycolic acid peel, and found the way to commercial success. Developed after my hairstylist had a bad experience at the dermatologist's office—irritation and redness following an incorrectly neutralized glycolic peel—I worked to create a self-neutralizing glycolic peel technology that didn't need the second step. After developing a prototype that worked in the lab, it was time to look into scaling up for commercial exposure and release.
However, my collaborators and I didn't know anybody in the beauty industry. In an attempt to gain greater knowledge and access to this arena, I joined the local chapter of the Society of Cosmetic Chemists (SCC) and met some well-established ingredient suppliers who referred me to experienced chemists, one of whom was a Fellow in the SCC. I also met a seasoned marketing and branding expert who gave me a crash course in the economics of different beauty marketing channels. I came to respect and trust them, their experience and their knowledge, and they helped lead me to the next level in the development of what would become Advanced Home Actives.
After two years of developing and clinically testing the technology behind Brazilian Peel, a specialized packaging solution was needed for the product. My branding partner found a company with an ideal solution to this problem, and, after approaching it with a proposal to license the packaging components, we ended up with a full turnkey contract manufacturing deal. It had extra capacity, was a medical device manufacturer and was interested in load-leveling its extra capacity. Essentially, it was a perfect fit. Medical device manufacturing required very strict quality controls, validation protocols and lot traceability. The company also had the distribution and warehousing capabilities necessary for fulfilling orders for our products.
The icing on the cake was its ability to fill the specialized dual-dispensing packaging Brazilian Peel required, and as an added bonus, it provided leveraged purchasing power for ingredients, secondary packaging and shipping. This contract manufacturer delivered world-class elements of every manufacturing operation, from engineering, purchasing, scheduling, maintenance, quality control and assurance and shipping. All three of my criteria for working with a contract company had been met.
It was a match made in heaven that lasted two years until the manufacturer was acquired by a major multinational firm that had recognized the value of the organization. Thus, Brazilian Peel and Advanced Home Actives had to find a new partner.
Through relationships with supply chain team members, we found a new contract manufacturer—220 Laboratories in Riverside, California—almost immediately, and within three months, had quotes for manufacturing our existing products based on detailed specifications of the formulas Advanced Home Actives owned, including two OTC acne drug products.
