When it comes to the Samsung GALAXY Nexus, it's later than you think!
0. phoneArena posted on 01 Nov 2011, 22:51
It looks like the Samsung GALAXY Nexus will be launching via Verizon after the start of the holiday shopping season on Black Friday according to a roadmap obtained by Droid-Life; the first Android device to be driven by Ice Cream Sandwich was originally thought to launch on November 10th...

so it might come to another carrier before verizon then?

Not directly from another carrier in the US.

Hmmmm, The plastic originally bugged me, but I shove all my phones in cases anyway, so I might give it a shot. I'm interested in the Nexus, but I am crazy about the RAZR, but as a Verizon customer, I wouldn't be able to root the DROID RAZR, right? but I would be able to root the Nexus, yes? I'm addicted to open garden. (unlimited data makes the addiction worse)
What can I root? the Nexus or the DROID RAZR (I can't get a moto razr, just a Droid Razr) Help?

There is an article here on phonearena about the RAZR already being rooted. Check it out. Also I read that the RAZR either won't have a locked bootloader or it'll be easily unlocked(not sure what it was-I'm no Android expert, just saying what I saw).

Some guy named hashcode is developing this new bootloader that basically runs inside the default bootloader without having to unlock the bootloader. And with the new apprach you will be able to switch to multiple ROMs without having to wipe each time. I'm not sure if there is overhead with doing that in speed, but it looks like there will be an alternative to running other ROMs with locked bootloaders.

Check YouTube, he has the Droid Bionic and Droid 3 running experimental versions of CyanogenMod.

the RAZR has already been rooted. id go for the RAZR over the nexus as well.
6. superguy (Posts: 309; Member since: 15 Jul 2011)
The RAZR can be rooted. It's the bootloader that's locked and encrypted. This prevents some deeper level modifications, such as custom kernels. ROMs can still be developed, but they'll all be using the stock kernels.
13. belovedson (Posts: 1052; Member since: 30 Nov 2010)
thats a big deal. stock kernals usually suck
7. maxican16 (Posts: 364; Member since: 29 Sep 2011)
You will be able to root both. In fact, the RAZR has already been rooted. Whether or not VZW will patch that loophole before release remains to be seen, however. The RAZR will have a locked and _encrypted_ boatloader though.. not the end of the world, but it certainly makes it more difficult to work with. The Nexus should be completely unlockable. That probably didn't help you out much, haha. =]
12. sgogeta4 (Posts: 394; Member since: 02 Feb 2011)
If you don't plan on loading custom ROMs or doing anything to the stock phone then get the Razr. Rooting is just getting superuser access and is not a big deal IMO (it's simply just the first step needed before you do more complex things). IMO I'd go with the Nexus if you're going to get a case, though I'm getting it even though I don't use one because the case is actually a really durable polymer, despite what the marketing from Moto says with their Kevlar, etc. Don't be misled by the word plastic...
14. belovedson (Posts: 1052; Member since: 30 Nov 2010)
rooting and changing kernals is a big deal for android phones. a stock captivate is practically unusable. once rooted, zip alligned, ext4 instead of rfs and running different kernals makes the phone alive
17. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
alright.. here is your breakdown
The Razr has ALREADY been rooted... so that issue is non existant
The real issues are:
1)what do you prize more...percieved durability (Razr) or direct and instant upgrades from google? The nexus WILL ALWAYS be the most up to date and the Razr will be as up to date as moto leaks software to XDA (which they are not that known to do)
2) do you prize higher MPX numbers on the camera (razr) (which means NOTHING), or the highest resolution screen availible (galaxy nexus)
its total preference, but honestly, i would take the nexus and put it in a case... otherwise.. hardware wise, the nexus and the Razr are almost identical. It will come down to screen vs camera for most... as well as guaranteeid upgrades or not.
If that's not a big deal for you, id suggest waiting till Q1 2012 and seeing what the landscape looks like.
18. mctcm (Posts: 204; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
Being that Google owns Motorola Mobility, the developer of the Razr, I don't really understand how you can possibly assert that the Nexus will receive updates that much faster than the Razr. That seems rather short sighted.
19. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
The updates will need to be adjusted with whatever motoblur is on the RAZR. It may not take quite as long as it had in the past for Motorola phones to get updates but realistically the Nexus will most likely receive updates before the RAZR.
20. mctcm (Posts: 204; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
I agree to some extent, which is why I phrased my commentary as "that much faster."
Google purchased MM for their patent portfolio. The continued existence of the Motorola Mobility development segment rather depends on MM's product success. I interpret this as fast, successful rollouts of the updated Android platform & thorough developer support.
21. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
I would also be very, very, VERY surprised if Motorola doesn't make the next Nexus. Motorola may not have chosen their hardware partners (ie TI) in concert with Google, but it certainly dovetailed nicely with Google's picks for the Nexus/ICS. They're setting up to be the de facto Android standard starting next year, as a wholly owned Google subsidiary should be.
23. mctcm (Posts: 204; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
Agrd. High five.
25. roldefol (Posts: 4365; Member since: 28 Jan 2011)
That's not to say that Google will lock out other manufacturers, of course (as our old friend Peter badaly portended). The Nexus line is supposed to serve as a standard for the current capabilities of Android, but one phone released once a year on a couple of carriers isn't much market presence. I'd like to see Google reshape Motorola as a whole lineup of various phones that ALL represent the Android state of the art. That would certainly leave room for HTC, Samsung, etc to sell their own Android lines with greater or lesser capabilities, shapes and sizes, but Motorola should be the reference standard.
24. iamcc (Posts: 1319; Member since: 07 Oct 2011)
Ah, as someone else has mentioned here... maybe I shouldn't post so early in the morning. I completely missed that part of your comment.
In that case I agree with you... my bad lol
26. McLTE (Posts: 922; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
You obviously aren't well informed about the software upgrade process.
The reason the Nexus phone will get the upgrades first is because it's a PURE Google phone. It runs STOCK Android. When Google has a build ready to go, the phone can accept it immediately.
All the other manufacturers (Sammy, Moto, HTC..) they all have their own overlay like HTC Sense, Motoblur.. each Android software update has to go through these companies and be tested to be sure it works with their overlays and to make any changes if necessary.
This all slows down the upgrade process for the non-Nexus phones.
So yeah, Remixfa has it exactly right.. you want the fastest updates, get the Nexus!
I hope Moto updates the Razr quickly, but there is NO WAY it will update as fast as the Nexus.
27. mctcm (Posts: 204; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
You are overly discounting the fact that MM is owned by Google. I would be surprised if they weren't already working on a rollout of ICS for the Razr.
38. remixfa (Posts: 14605; Member since: 19 Dec 2008)
Motorola does not get an inside tract on cell phones. When the nexus is released, google will post the ICS source code on the internet for the world to use. Moto will get access to it at the same time as everyone else.
32. terabyteRouser (Posts: 457; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Google does not own Motorola Mobility yet.
3. maxican16 (Posts: 364; Member since: 29 Sep 2011)
What happened the 11/10? The RAZR. Then came the Rezound. The answer is this: VZW simply does not want to push the Nexus above those two phones. The fact that it's bloat free means less money for them, so they will hold out as long as they can in the hope that you will cave and buy the RAZR/Rezound.
DON'T DO IT! Stay strong people! This is the DROID we're looking for.
8. squallz506 (banned) (Posts: 1075; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
i think verizon is just smart enough to know that they shouldnt market the RAZR after the NEXUS. id imagine verizon is going to release a ton of ads featuring the RAZR as a revolutionary device, those ads wouldnt be as effective following the release of ICS because the RAZR is gingerbread. i wouldnt want to buy a gingerbread phone after ICS is released.
9. maxican16 (Posts: 364; Member since: 29 Sep 2011)
Exactly. We're in agreement.
34. terabyteRouser (Posts: 457; Member since: 18 Oct 2011)
Yeah, even the non-tech savvy customers will be able to pick up the RAZR then walk over and pick up the Nexus and be able to tell something is obviously inferior about the RAZR.
10. zhieson (Posts: 10; Member since: 21 Jun 2011)
Nexus...want you so bad... but Razr becoming so tempting.

The Skinnygirl wins again.
Forbes may have listed reality TV darling Bethenny Frankel as the the top-earning celebrity mother for her haul of $55 million from May 2010 – May 2011, but if you ask the entrepreneur and mom to 1-year-old daughter, Bryn, there's another mama on the list who's a lot better off.
When asked by Access Hollywood's Shaun Robinson how she managed to outrank actress Angelina Jolie, Bethenny answered, "Look, she's sleeping with Brad Pitt…she wins."
Sorry Jason!
Which of your other fave celebrity moms made the list?
Supermodel Gisele Bundchen and Judge Judy Sheindlin tied for second, followed by bestselling author Danielle Steel, Angelina Jolie, Sarah Jessica Parker, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Lopez, author Janet Evanovich, and Pink.

U.S. Men's National Team to Tour Korean Demilitarized Zone on Friday at Invitation of U.S. Armed Forces
SEOGWIPO, Korea (Thursday, December 6, 2001) - The U.S. Men's National Soccer Team will visit U.S. Military Camp Bonifas, located just 400 meters south of the Korean Demilitarized Zone, on Friday (Dec. 7) at the invitation of Major General James Soligan, the Deputy Chief of Staff for the United States Forces, Korea, stationed at the Yong San military base.
The day-long trip will see the U.S. team transported from their southern training site on the island of Jeju in two Chinook CH-47 helicopters, a two-and-a-half hour trek north into the Joint Security Area (JSA), which is home to Camp Bonifas and the U.S. and Korea Republic forces which patrol and protect the DMZ. The U.S. team is scheduled to depart from Jeju at 8 a.m. and will spend four hours at Camp Bonifas.
"It is an absolute honor to be given this opportunity to meet these individuals who sacrifice so much for our country," said U.S. head coach Bruce Arena. "Seeing the commitment, dedication and discipline of these servicemen and women is inspiring. Because of the day-long time commitment in making this trip, we needed to make the trip voluntary for the players. However, every single player and staff member here was excited to take the time to visit with these American heroes."
The U.S. team is in Korea for a match against the 2002 World Cup co-hosts in Seogwipo on Sunday (Dec. 9) at 3 a.m. ET (5 p.m. local time). Fans can watch the match on tape-delay on Monday (Dec. 10) at 1 p.m. ET on ESPN, or follow the action line at ussoccer.com on U.S. Soccer's Philips MatchTracker.
Once the team arrives at Camp Bonifas, the coaches, players and staff will receive a tour of the JSA. The team will also interact and dine with the 800 soldiers from all four branches of the U.S. military stationed at the base.
In addition to presenting the base with a number of autographed jerseys for display, the U.S. players will record holiday messages which will be broadcast around the world on the Armed Forces networks. More than 40 media outlets will be covering the team's trek to Camp Bonifas, including the Associated Press, Reuters, the Korean ABC affiliate and the Armed Forces Network Korea.
The Korean Demilitarized Zone is an area of land encompassing a four-kilometer wide strip of land straddling the 151-mile long Military Demarcation Line (MDL). The July 27, 1953, Armistice Agreement established the DMZ along the approximate line of ground contact between the opposing forces at the time the truce ended the Korean War.
As the base camp for the United Nations Command Security Force, Camp Bonifas was previously known as Camp Kitty Hawk before being named after Captain Arthur G. Bonifas in 1986. Bonifas and UNC security officer Lieutenant Mark T. Barrett were slain in the line of duty in the area in 1976.
Last week, the U.S. was drawn into Group D with Portugal, Poland and World Cup co-hosts Korea Republic in the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Korea/Japan. The U.S. will open Group D play against the highly-regarded Portuguese on June 5 in Suwon, and will follow that game with matches against the host Koreans on June 10 in Daegu and against Poland on June 14 in Daejeon.

As you might have expected, I had a cocaine-fueled orgy. That was my candy hearts and flowers. The phrase "cocaine-fueled orgy" is actually stupid because of course cocaine does the opposite of fuel you. It's building the god damn pyramids to pop wood and by the time you do you just want to do another bump and talk more shit. Still, it gets the girls in your house.
The girls were 69'ing on my carpet and I was sort of loitering on the edges trying to get my dick in an open mouth. The problem with women is they get too into one another. Eventually you're just jerking off and spectating. But there are worse things to watch. Better to see a Peruvian chick squatting on a hipster girl's face than Law and Order reruns or some shit.
There was another dude, too, and I remember, drunk as I was, being distracted by his scrotum. There is no way to not study another man's genitals. I'm 36 years old and I still think: oh, look, everyone has that one weird vein. It's not just me. He did not have a giant wang, and I remember thinking: thank God. I figured it would be just my luck, the other dude would be sporting an arm-sized anaconda. But our wangs were comparable.
I took the Peruvian chick into my room and fucked her forever. I couldn't nut but I could get hard. Another case of things going better than expected. I still haven't cum. I'm scared to now. Like when you drop one beer out of a six pack and it rolls down the stairs. It's sitting in your fridge like a time bomb, but, when you've drunk those other five, you gotta take your foot off the landmine. I'm gonna jerk off into the sink and hold my hand in front of my dickhole so I don't jizz on the mirror. It will make a smacking sound audible in other states. There's a chance of ricochet. They should lock down the schools. I will go door to door telling my neighbors to stay in their homes, crouch in the basement if you have one. Otherwise stand under the most structurally sound point you can find.
I was supposed to do a bunch of shit today but I was just so fucking wrecked. I woke up at 1pm. I could barely bring myself to take a piss. Good. This kind of shit is what unemployment is for. Drinking a fifth of generic brandy and about eighteen beers on a school night, blowing a shitty gram and getting rug burns from kneeling down to dangle your sac into a chick's mouth while you grind your coke-flaccid meatpipe on another girl's musky cunt. This is how to use an economic downturn to one's advantage.

Romantic comedies that go against formula are always risky. As audience members, we have certain expectations in the boy-meets-girl world of cinema. This film is one of the rare exceptions to the rule. Yes, it's romantic; and yes, it's funny, but it's also a layered, thoughtful look at the meaning of coming-of-age.
Jesse Fisher (Josh Radnor) is a stuck-in-a-rut 30-something admissions director at a New York City college. When his favorite college professor, Peter Hoberg (Richard Jenkins), invites him to his retirement party, Jesse immediately heads back to what I am assuming is Ohio Wesleyan University to attend the dinner and get a much-needed break. Almost immediately, he meets Zibby (Elizabeth Olsen), a college sophomore reveling in her youth. They instantly click, and when Jesse returns to Manhattan, they begin a wildly romantic letter-writing friendship—as Zibby says, it's all very 17th century.
When Jesse returns to Ohio to see her, it is clear Zibby is ready to take the romance to the next level as Jesse, 16 years her senior, wrestles with the obvious morality issues inherent in the situation.
I have to say I found this movie entertaining, if not mind-blowing. Radnor and Olsen have terrific chemistry and are extremely likeable actors. The characters all either idealize or demonize college years, and in the end, realize that the true experience is somewhere in between.
It's a 7.

Novartis AG
Nestle SA
Close $28.3 Billion
Alcon, Inc.
) Deal
HUENENBERG, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Novartis AG (NYSE: NVS - News) and Nestlé S.A. announced today that they have completed the purchase and sale of approximately 156 million shares of Alcon, Inc. (NYSE: ACL - News) for US$28.3 billion in cash.
The transaction was consummated pursuant to an agreement between Nestlé and Novartis that was executed on April 6, 2008. With the completion of this transaction, Novartis is now Alcon's majority shareholder and controls approximately 77 percent of Alcon's outstanding shares. Effective immediately, the five Nestlé-designated members of the Alcon board of directors have tendered their resignations and the August 16, 2010 election of the five Novartis-designated directors is deemed effective.
"I would like to thank Nestlé for their outstanding contributions and support of Alcon for more than 30 years, which has been an important part of making Alcon the global leader in ophthalmology," said Kevin Buehler, Alcon's president and chief executive officer. "We now welcome Novartis as our new majority owner and look forward to working with them to further enhance Alcon's business model, provide opportunities for future growth and deliver benefits to customers and patients around the world."
The transaction announced by Nestlé and Novartis does not affect the remaining 23 percent of Alcon's shares that trade publicly on the New York Stock Exchange. On January 4, 2010, Novartis proposed a merger of the two companies under Swiss merger law at a fixed exchange rate of 2.8 Novartis shares for each Alcon share which has a current value of approximately US$142. The Independent Director Committee (IDC) of Alcon's board of directors reviewed this proposal and rejected it on January 20, 2010 based on inadequate value.
"While Novartis is now our majority owner, Alcon remains an independent, publicly-listed company, and it is important to maintain good corporate governance around related-party transactions," added Buehler. "Alcon will continue to abide by the Organizational Regulations, which require the IDC to review and approve all related-party transactions, including the Novartis proposed merger."
About Alcon

Happy Turkey Week all you hop shoppers!
Food and family may be calling, but a few of us will be braving the cranberry soaked weather to deliver beer and brats during the festivities. This thursday we will be open 10am until 2pm to fill those last minute growlers, closing temporarily for dinner, and will reopen at 7pm until 11pm after you all get tired of dealing with relatives.
We know how it goes.
Here is the rest of your weekly news:
- Pucker Up! – This Wednesday we will be tapping a ton of sour beers, but since these brews are so expensive we'll be sampling them out in $8 flights. How does that work? We give you a piece of paper, you write down which four sours you want to try, and we give you a tray with four 3oz fills of beers like Cascade's Elderberry Sour. Eight bucks. No red tape. And Streetzeria will be here early at 2pm to sooth your aching jowls once you are done!
- Highlights of the Week – We have Elysian's Men's Room Black! This is a limited time imperial red ale that is loaded with chinook and cascade hops, and so far the responses have been really good. Don't like hops? Try one of our slowly growing selection of carbonated mead like the dry 19 Original Colonies mead from Rogue or the smooth Green Collar apple-vanilla mead from Oregon Meadery Blue Dog. They clock in at 5.2% and 6.8% respectively.
- Things are back to normal. – Been missing the Grilled Cheese Experience on Fridays or the Jerk Station on Saturdays? They'll finally both be back this weekend, so make sure to come by and let them know how you feel! Also, for those gamers out there, the arcade is getting fixed this weekend.

ATG and AUG denote sequences of DNA and RNA respectively that are the start codon or initiation codon encoding the amino acid methionine (Met) in eukaryotes and a modified Met (fMet) in prokaryotes.
The principle called Central dogma of molecular biology describes the process of translation of a gene to a protein. Basically specific sequences of DNA act as a template to synthesize mRNA in a process termed "transcription" in the nucleus. This mRNA is exported from the nucleus into the cytoplasm of the cell and acts as a template to synthesize protein in a process called "translation."
Three nucleotide bases form one amino acid in the genetic code. Usually the first three bases of the coding sequence(CDS) of mRNA to be translated into protein are AUG (or ATG in DNA). AUG encodes for methionine, and therefore the first amino acid of many proteins is methionine. The start codon is almost always preceded by an untranslated region 5' UTR.
Very rarely in higher organisms (eukaryotes) non AUG start codons are used.
In addition to AUG, alternative start codons, mainly GUG and UUG are used in prokaryotes. For example E. coli uses 77% ATG (AUG), 14% GTG (GUG), 8% TTG (UUG) and a few others. [How to reference and link to summary or text]
Well known coding regions that do not have ATG initiation codons are those of lacI (GTG)[1] and lacA (TTG)[2]in the E. coli lac operon.

MEXICO CITY–Nothing could save Fernando Marti, 14, from being kidnapped and murdered last summer – not his personal bodyguard, chauffeured bullet-proof sedan nor other precautions routinely taken by this city's wealthy to survive the grip of organized crime.
But something turned this student, abducted at a phony police roadblock on his way to the private British American School, into an icon.
Maybe it was the crime's obvious link to narco-trafficking, as evidenced by the resignation of Mexico's special drug agency chief, Noe Ramirez, shortly after police began the kidnapping investigation, or that charges against him ultimately connected him to the cartels.
Maybe it occurred when two senior Mexico City judicial police officers (under the authority of the attorney-general's office) were arrested and charged in the youth's murder. Or when Mayor Marcelo Ebrard pledged to dissolve the entire judicial police and start over.
There were mass protests in the capital, countrywide marches, full-page newspaper ads over the violence and, after the boy's father reportedly paid a $5 million ransom in vain, an outpouring of sorrow and compassion that united political leaders and ordinary citizens.
President Felipe Calderon appealed to local, state and national police forces to stop building their own little silos and start working together. "If we were more united by now, we surely would be more advanced (and) much further along the road to improving the police," said Calderon, who made ending narco-trafficking and corruption priorities in 2006. "We must purge police forces to get rid of the infiltration by gangs."
Or, maybe, it was simply the ghastly shock of it all in a city (and country) where kidnapping – attributed to the same drug cartels that move drugs, cash and people in multi-billion-dollar businesses – is on the rise, as are other forms of violent fallout from the activities of organized crime.
Bogus police officers abducted Marti in June. Police quickly found his driver mutilated – his teeth extracted – and dead in the trunk of his sedan. They also found the youth's bodyguard, badly injured, but able to implicate police in the crime.
For two months, the search continued. In August, residents noticed a foul odour in the southern area of Coyoacan, home to artists, musicians and intellectuals.
The boy's decomposing body was in the trunk of a car.
"Let there be no more Fernandos," said his father, Alejandro, founder of a sports store and health spa empire. He grieved for "a boy who represents the suffering over everything that is happening here."
What's happening is an explosion of violence in a city that's among the world's greatest capitals, renowned for its churches, museums, architecture, sprawling parkland and the historic role it has played as a political, artistic and literary leader in Latin America.
It's been very dangerous in Mexico City for a long time. Kidnappings – the crime most often linked to narco-wars and the drug cartels – have jumped 9.5 per cent nationwide, according to Mexican officials, with 774 cases from September 2008 to April 2009, compared to 707 over the preceding eight months. But statistics are considered grossly low since most people don't report kidnappings.
"The growth in the number of kidnappings comes from the success of the government's battles against drug dealers," popular columnist Miguel Angel Granados Chapa wrote recently in the Mexico City daily, Reforma. He argues drug-traffickers must find other ways to augment their income.
There is the so-called "express kidnappings," in which Mexicans and tourists are nabbed, usually by "pirate" cab drivers and their cohorts, driven to bank machines and ordered to withdraw cash. In "virtual kidnappings," criminals extort money from family members who falsely believe a loved one has been seized.
A few years ago, a bogus taxi driver and pals abducted an American journalist at a restaurant and went through the bank-machine routine. Discovering he was a reporter for a well-known publication, a thief urged: "Oh please, don't write bad things about my country."
Mexicans go to extremes to try to stay safe. There is a reported boom in the sale of tracking devices that can be inserted into flesh – like the way veterinarians insert microchips into pets – to potentially help police find victims.
In Polanco, a wealthy northern area of homes, embassies, restaurants and hotels in the capital, chauffeurs drive their clients in SUVs with dark, bullet-proof glass. Parents who send their children to school with drivers change the routes and vary their own routines to confuse would-be kidnappers.
While there is no official warning against going to Mexico, Canada's foreign affairs department notes kidnappers target "both the wealthy and middle class (although) foreigners are not specifically targeted."
The U.S. State Department has a different view.
"Crime in Mexico continues at high levels, and it is often violent, especially in Mexico City ... (and other cities)," says a recent report. "Kidnappings, including the kidnappings of non-Mexicans, continue at alarming rates."

The Responsiveness of Remittances to the Oil Price: The Case of the GCC
We investigate the responsiveness of remittances from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to the changes in the price of crude oil. Most of the GCC countries rank in the top 20 remitting countries in the world. We find that oil price elasticity of remittances is around 0.4. While most studies have examined the impact of remittances on the real economic activities in the receiving countries, this study emphasises the impact of remittances on the remitting countries. We examine various policy implications with regard to macroeconomic shocks, monetary policy and fiscal policy of the GCC countries.

Oh Haunted Night, presented by Sideshow Media Group, was an ultra-entertaining celebrity reading benefiting Children's Hospital Los Angeles. It filled the hearts of a cozy Acme Theatre crowd with the holiday "spirits" … and monsters … and things that go bump in the night. Stars from movies, television, and stage gathered to read the clever Christmas stories that had little haunted twists to them. The very original fractured tales were from a collection by acclaimed comic writer Jim Krueger, the former creative director for Marvel Comics and recipient of the Will Eisner Award. Krueger and producer John Bucher co-created the event to help bring hope and joy to kids in need of both.
Krueger said, "There's a long tradition of writers looking out for Children's Hospital, and I wanted to do a benefit for them using my twisted stories. I believe the really scary stuff is what the kids have to go through when they get sick. They want to believe that things will get better, and I hope we're helping to make that possible." Krueger thanked Bucher for making the show possible. They both have had a vision to use story to have a positive impact in their community. And it was fitting that it has been realized in the midst of this magical season.
Bringing to life Krueger's tales about Santa, gift monsters, vampires, elves, and more, was an impressive line up of performers. Ernie Hudson (of Ghostbusters fame) read the "Poison Cookies" story with gusto; Barry Bostwick read "The Frankincense Monster"; recently engaged Adam Shapiro and Katie Lowes did "Coal"; Angelo Restaino, "December Man"; Bill Parks, "Christmas Sucks"; Cerina Vincent, "Mary Had A Lamb"; and Eddie Jemison read the "Evil Elf." Jeff Larson emceed Oh Haunted Night, introducing each star with film clips from their notable productions.
Benefiting L.A. Children's Hospital's Holidays from the Heart program, the event was a great success, and Krueger said he intends to make Oh Haunted Night an annual tradition.

Also, I can't activate my new phone online or by phone. I am so frustrated right now.
2. Re: No Activation Guide?Emily_V Apr 11, 2012 3:57 PM (in response to Emily_V)
I'm sure I did this all backwards. I called customer support from my old phone, hoping to talk to someone about the activation process. I was prompted saying that a new phone had been sent to me, and would I like to activate it. Then I was told to dial *228 and select option 1 on my new phone, but I can't do that! It won't let me! What do I do??? Can I back track at all?
3. Re: No Activation Guide?Verizon Wireless Customer Support Apr 13, 2012 5:30 PM (in response to Emily_V)
Hello Emily_V,
I'm sorry to hear of the difficulties you are experiencing while attempting to activate your new phone. Did you power off your previous phone before you dialed *228, option 1 on your new phone? Are you receiving a specific error message on the new phone? If you are unable to use either handset, we do recommend contacting 800-922-0204 from an alternate line. Is it possible you could borrow a friend or family member's phone?

Yepper, old phone MUST be powered down before trying this
5. Re: No Activation Guide?Emily_V Apr 14, 2012 4:54 AM (in response to Verizon Wireless Customer Support)
Problem solved.
You see, I just moved about 6 months ago to pretty much the middle of nowhere in Wisconsin. After talking to tech support, it turns out I'm in an extended service area and had to drive an hour away to be in range of Verizon cell towers... just to activate my phone! Huh... who knew?
By the way, the new phone is nice. Still getting use to it, but I like it. Thanks for the help!
6. Re: No Activation Guide?Ann154 Apr 14, 2012 5:01 AM (in response to Emily_V)
I wonder if you ended up in the area of Wisconsin that has Element Mobile for the partner carrier with Verizon Wireless.
7. Re: No Activation Guide?Emily_V Apr 14, 2012 5:12 AM (in response to Emily_V)
That's exactly what it was! When I tried to activate from where I live, the automated message said, "Welcome to Element Mobile" ...blah blah blah. And then, "We are unable to program your phone at this time."
I've never had a problem USING a phone here, and this new one works just fine as well. It was just the activation that wouldn't work. Man, that was such a nightmare! Glad it's been resolved.

Cryptography is no mean field. After all, the science was invented by humans for the purpose of concealing information from other humans. That means that the best cryptographers have to be blindingly smart, with a mastery of mathematics but also a firm grasp of human psychology and, these days, fields such as computer science.
Paul Kocher, president and chief scientist of Cryptography Research is a good example of the breed. A cryptography superstar, Kocher is credited with helping discover two different techniques for defeating certain kinds of encryption algorithms. He's also a corporate executive who's devoted his life to helping create cryptographic applications that can be used in the real world.
Kocher sat down to talk security with InfoWorld Senior Editor Paul F. Roberts at the recent RSA Security Conference in San Francisco. Despite making his name by poking holes in encryption, Kocher says that crypto hacks are the last thing enterprise IT should worry about. A much bigger problem is wrestling with the security implications of application and OS "supersizing" that is being fueled by a new generation of powerful processors.
InfoWorld: Tell us a bit about the history of Cryptography Research and how the security environment has changed since you first started the company.
: I started Cryptography Research 11 years ago. When I first started working on these problems, we were still at the point where you could understand how systems work. This was back in the DOS days. You had 640K of memory and could run one program at a time. These days, I have no clue what's running on my laptop. And you probably have no idea, either. There's too much software there. Moore's Law has created obesity in systems, so when you're trying to come up with ways to keep things secret despite this, it's an enormous problem.
IW: Cryptography is often followed as a kind of arms race, with people who want to make stronger encryption pitted against those who want to break it. Is that the wrong discussion to have?
PK: There are a few pieces that are strong. The math behind modern algorithms is incredibly robust. That's the thing most people focus on: "We have this brick and it's really strong, so if we have a system that includes this brick, it will also be really strong." But implementations are where the problems lie. People tend to get enamored with the cryptography and the algorithms and not pay attention to other things that end up failing.
IW: You talk about the "brittleness" in much of application security. If you were an enterprise shop with internally developed applications, what steps would you take to reduce that brittleness?
PK: One thing I'd do is just step back and have the engineers think about how they would attack the system. It's a different mind set than how to build features. You start looking for that thread that lets you in, and you learn something useful. Also, try to build your application so that it doesn't need sophisticated security capabilities. If you've got an application on the Web where it's exposed to outside attacks, just leave the feature out that's going to create the risks.
IW: What about mobile devices? Microsoft this week announced a new version of Windows Mobile. Are platform companies going to repeat the same mistakes they made on the desktop?
PK: I think Microsoft is certainly following the path it followed with the PC, though the security problems haven't caught up yet because mobile devices aren't worth hacking yet.
There's an inflection point that people almost never recognize until they hit it. It's the point at which a system becomes worth attacking. You hit the threshold when someone figures out that they could make more money attacking your system than by doing whatever it is they're doing and after factoring in the risks. At that point, the dynamic changes completely.
As you take mobile devices and put more functions on them, someone will wake up and realize that they can make $15 million hacking them, as opposed to the $80,000 to do their current job. We just don't know whether that will be this year or 10 years from now.

Late last month, the U.S. Supreme Court took arguments on the individual mandate for the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The mandate would require most Americans to purchase health insurance or face a financial penalty.
Many observers were shaken by what they heard during the oral arguments. CNN reporter Jeffrey Toobin said the Supreme Court session was a "train wreck for the Obama administration" and predicted that "this law looks like it's going to be struck down" because of harsh questions directed to the administration's attorney. "All the predictions — including mine — that the justices would not have a problem with this law were wrong," said Toobin.
The Supreme Court's decision is not expected until summer, but uncertainty has spiked as to what the effects might be if the law is upheld, struck down, or the individual mandate is overturned and the rest of the act allowed to stand.
Regardless of what the Supreme Court decides, most major health IT initiatives are not likely to be affected directly, although smaller ones may suffer. The HITECH Act, for instance — designed to "promote the adoption and meaningful use of health information technology" — is part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, not the ACA. It requires implementation by 2014 of specific privacy and security standards for electronic health records.
The ACA's Prevention and Public Health Fund (PPHF), however, may suffer if the ACA is overturned, and is of particular interest to local government health organizations. "It holds great promise to improve the capacities of local health departments," says the act, "to protect their communities from health threats through the use of technology."
Eli Briggs, director of government affairs for the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), said the PPHF would substantially move the focus of public health to prevention and provide mandatory funding for it. "If we can prevent diseases like diabetes and heart disease that are so costly," she said, "then we can save money. What a lot of health departments do is work on programs to reduce smoking or get people more physically active and show how they can be healthier. So that's why that fund has been a big focus for us."
While Briggs is enthusiastic about prevention, she's less certain about the technology component. "The fund has the capability of being used for anything that comes under the broad category of prevention in public health," she said, suggesting that IT may be steered toward disease surveillance, data collection and analysis. "So our members are hopeful that as the health-care system capacity increases, that public health will be able to receive data from health-care providers and pick up on disease more quickly — if there's an outbreak of a particular disease they'll be able to see those spikes more quickly."
Briggs did say that some health departments are preparing billing systems that they didn't have before, in anticipation of ACA implementation. "They will be able to bill Medicaid and some of the new insurance products that are going to be out there," she explained. "With people having more insurance, health departments may want to bill for immunizations where before it was just a cost. And now they will need to get reimbursed for those services."
A NACCHO white paper on implementation of the ACA also addresses the technology issue: "As use of health information technology (HIT) becomes more widespread by clinical providers, LHDs [local health departments] have the opportunity to maintain and enhance their role as health data and information repository for the community and analyze available data. However," continues the white paper, "this will require greater adoption of HIT by LHDs than is currently the case. LHDs should adopt electronic health records and work to expand health information exchange between LHDs and health-care providers to meet the requirements of the ACA, reduce administrative costs, prevent costly and unnecessary duplications of service, and improve health outcomes. NACCHO has advocated for further support from the federal government, as is currently the case for physician practices and hospitals, to foster further adoption of HIT by LHDs."
Another technology-related aspect of health data exchange is the transition to ICD-10, a system of medical codes already used in other countries for the exchange of medical data. "Entities covered under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA)," said HHS in a release, "will be required to use the ICD-10 diagnostic and procedure codes." The February release, however, announced that the Oct. 1, 2013 implementation deadline was postponed, and that a new deadline would be announced at a later date.
Marie Fallon, CEO of the National Association of Local Boards of Health summed up, in an email to Government Technology, that organization's support for the ACA: "Local and county governments absorb significant medical costs under current circumstances. For example, health coverage of the uninsured or uninsurable (pre-existing conditions, or marginally employed or unemployed, or homeless or otherwise disenfranchised) who currently do not seek health care except when health problems are advanced, and whose medical expenses are thus extreme -- and whose health costs must be absorbed by local health departments, or county general assistance -- can be of great expense to small government. This socio-economic-health care problem is exacerbated by the current economic climate that further marginalizes those in the lowest income brackets. A single case of TB or similar malady can cost a local government entity many thousands of dollars, expense that could have been covered by the ACA."
At Issue: If the Supreme Court strikes down part or all of the Affordable Care Act, how do you think it would impact local health-care initiatives centered on information technology? Leave your comments below.

FOUR men have now been arrested over an attack which left a man with serious head injuries.
Police were called at 12 minutes past midnight in the early hours of Sunday, December 27, and found the injured man in Duffield Crescent in Sherburn in Elmet.
North Yorkshire Police said the man was walking with a friend from an address in Duffield Crescent, along Hungate Road to a nearby shop when a car stopped next to him. A group of men got out of the car and attacked him with a wooden implement before leaving the scene.
A spokeswoman confirmed today that two local men, aged 26 and 34, and two men from Leeds aged 28 and 29 have been arrested in connection with the attack.
All four men have since been released on bail while enquiries continue.
The victim, a 27-year-old man, remains in Hull Royal Infirmary in a critical condition.
Police want to speak to anyone who was in Duffield Crescent or Hungate Road between 11.30pm on Boxing Day night and a quarter past midnight.
Anyone with any information is asked to contact North Yorkshire Police on 01609 768182, email email@example.com or contact Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555111.
Please quote incident number 6 of December 27 when passing on information.

No more gratuity vouchers!
Just got back from another amazing week on the Oasis. There's not much that hasn't been said before about her...
But we did the prepaid gratuities, and they don't give out vouchers anymore. Now at first blush, that seemed great. I always hated ripping them apart and sorting them and handing them out. It also makes it so you can eat in a diferent venue on the last night without chasing down your dining room staff...but it also makes you feel obligated to tip more if you do go the last night.
Now our waiter wasn't bad, but he wasn't the usual outgoing, personable guy like I've had in the past. And we ate at Johnny Rockets one night and had a shore day that we just wanted a quick dinner. So I didn't feel like the standard amount had to be supplemented. But our tablemates paid theirs in cash and I felt terribly awkward not handing envelopes out.
I'm not saying it's a bad system, I'm sure not having to print and deliver them save the company time and money, so if that keeps something else from being cut, I'm all for it.
We had a great cruise. The weather couldn't have been more perfect.
In Nassau, we went to Blue Lagoon. It's beautiful there, but we just didn't have enough time. I still don't understand why the ship has such a short call there, we left at 2 pm.
I was really shocked to see how much St. Thomas has gotten run down, it used to be so beautiful We took a cab over to Coki beach. I have to say that they've done a great deal of work there. They have a brand new bath house with changing rooms and showers. There are stores in real buildings instead of rusted out ice cream trucks, and there weren't nearly as many hawkers on the beach as in the past. It was very crowded though, but there were 4 carnival ships in port with us.
In St. Maarten we went over to Orient beach.
What can I say. I'm a beach bum. Especially in the caribbean. I'm certainly glad to answer any questions about the ship or the ports if you have them!
I never liked the vouchers either since they did require some time separating them and so forth, and it made no sense when I did My Time Dining since the waiter I happened to have on the last night got the vouchers even though I may have had other waiters all week.
Did they still place tip envelopes in your cabin?
I don't know why RCI still does the cash tipping as their default method. Celebrity has gone to the automatic gratuities so why don't they standardize it for all of their brands?
Not sure why the time in Nassau was so short, either. However, the ship probably had to stop there because of the Jones Act. I think that essentially states that round trip cruises departing from a US Port must make a stop in "a nearby foreign port." St. Thomas and St. Maarten I think are part of the US Virgin Islands, so I'm not sure if either of those stops would satisfy that requirement.
They did provide envelopes. I also got a good laugh out of the fact that there was a case of crutches in the corner of our treatment room!!!
I'm sure all medical facilities probably order them that way, but all I could think was that the flow rider has generated business for the medical center!!!
Maybe they should use different colored envelopes for those who pre-paid. At least it would be a visual signal that the guest was not being a cheap skate by only putting $20 in the envelope.
I have zero interest in doing the Flow Rider, but I like to watch it, especially when the rider makes that one little slip that causes them to get slung back into the wall. Maybe they should hire doctors who specialize in orthopedics?
MCPayne, the USVI (St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix) are exempt from the Passenger Services Act and are treated as "nearby foreign ports" for purposes of the Act. Just one of many intricacies in this legislation...makes my head spin!
I, too, would feel awkward about not having envelopes to give to the crew. I can see how vouchers can be a pain, though. If RCI wants to give pax a choice (which I applaud, actually), perhaps there can be a box on the envelope to check if pax had pre-paid the gratuities. It's been a long time since I've cruised on RCi...maybe they do this already. I also like Dave's idea of the different colored envelopes. (Actually, that's a better idea as it would be more difficult to stiff the crew.)
Welcome back!
Thanks for that clarification, Lisa.
I also would feel awkward about not giving gratuity envelopes to the crew members at the end of my cruise. Those of us that are seasoned cruisers know that the gratuities are essentially the staff's salaries, as they work hard for very little money, and have little time off.
On our recent cruise on the Grandeur, they had just stopped the voucher system. As we really loved our waiter Sidney, we wanted to give him extra tip in cash on top of our pre paid gratuity. So we did and then he told us they all receive the pre paid tip automatically before the last night of the cruise :)
With regards to Daves flow rider fascination, we are going on the Liberty next summer and I am determined to have a go. Will keep you noticed on my need for orthopedics afterwards :)
I need to lose about 50 pounds before even attempting the flow rider.:rolleyes:
Agreed Dave-tho in my case, I'd also have to make sure my PPO Health Policy covered "Stupid Old Man on A Kid's Toy". I was also about to say that vouchers; how had can it be for the cruise line to keep printing something like this. You feed the info into a Bozo-Computer and it spits out the forms. However, then, I remembered that their computers (I was told) don't talk to each other, which is the excuse that was given to us TWICE in the past when MY Sea Pass card, and my WIFE'S card, did NOT have the same C&A level displayed. Since we have always gone together, and joined C&A at the same time, we both have the same Diamond status, but hers has always (in the past) been one level below my card. I'm giving them almost a year and a half to correct this, so next October, 2013, we'll see if Bozo-'Puter "A" is now talking to Bozo-'Puter "B". Anyhow, sorry about the topic change; I think that they should have SOME way of showing that you have prepaid gratuities, and have some sort of envelope to put extra cash in for those who go above and beyond. Many people (some Europeans I've heard) are not use to tipping, or it's not a custom, and this makes it a little easier for those passangers. The expense for the cruise line can't be so bad, compared to printing out the daily cruise compass sheets. Ramble Done.

Every angler has a rod and reel that just seems to catch more fish than the rest of the combos in his or her boat. Manabu Kurita, catcher of the pending world record largemouth, is no different.
On his lucky rod (Deps Sidewinder Flipping Edition) and reel (Shimano Antares DC 7-LV), Kurita had landed an 18 1/2-pound largemouth last year by catapulting a 12-inch Mother swimbait (handcrafted by Roman Made). And what's more, he caught the pending world record fish on this combination. But perhaps what makes it most lucky is the fact that it was still in his possession when the 22-pound, 5-ounce bass swallowed his sunfish on July 2 of this year.
Just one month earlier, the rod and reel were lying on the bottom of Lake Biwa.
In late May, Kurita was using the Deps/Shimano combo to fish a live ayu on Lake Biwa. Ayu is a popular food fish (about the size of a sardine) in Japan during the summer months, and bass forage on this fish spring through fall. After casting the weightless live bait, he had set the rod down while working on some tackle. While not paying attention, a bass ate the live ayu, dragging overboard his favorite rod and reel combination. He watched it sink to the bottom of Lake Biwa, which at its deepest point is 300 feet.
He assumed it was lost forever.
However, almost one month later, he was fishing near the same spot when he noticed a large bass floating in the lake. He trolled up to the dead, double-digit fish, to find a line coming out of its mouth. After pulling on the line for several minutes, Kurita's lucky rod and reel appeared from the bottom of the lake.
"It was scratched up from where the bass dragged it around the lake bottom, but it still works perfectly! It really is lucky," Kurita grinned.
Hard to argue that fact.

I already spoke to Rick Carpiniello over at the Training Center, where players are being put through a series of physicals and interviews. I always wondered what would happen if they put the media through the same process, since most of us are either A) out of shape; or B) mentally unbalanced; or C) both. I suppose we're held to a different standard.
Anyway, according to Carp (which incidentally, is the "name of his blog":http://carp.lohudblogs.com), the only player to speak to the media so far is Darius Kasparaitis. As we've already reported, Kasparaitis is back in impressive shape and hopeful about a return to the NHL. That, of course, is standard issue for this time of year. Everyone is hopeful. If a guy walks into the first day of training camp and sounds like anything less than a first-ballot Hall of Famer, he might as well book his own hotel room in Hartford.
Anyway, Carpie's plan is to pass along more later. In the meantime, you can occupy yourself with "my Rangers training camp preview":http://www.thejournalnews.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070913/SPORTS01/709130398/1034/SPORTS.
