1981: Inspired by a visit to his grandmother's home in Italy, young entrepreneur and ice cream shop owner Joey Crugnale opened the first Bertucci's Brick Oven Pizzeria in Davis Square, Somerville, MA. Complete with a custom made brick oven at its center and a bocce court in its basement, the original Bertucci's become a popular local spot, recreating the family experience Joey fell in love with in his grandmother's kitchen. The restaurant used only the freshest ingredients to make its signature pizzas, many of which are still on the menu today.
1985: The second Bertucci's opened in Kendall Square, Cambridge, MA and number three opened in Holliston, MA shortly thereafter.
1989: Growth continued with the opening of our 14th restaurant. USA Today listed Bertucci's as one of America's top 10 pizza restaurants.
1990s: Bertucci's brick oven pizza story was told outside of Massachusetts, with Bertucci's growing to over 100 restaurants from Florida to New Hampshire and as far west as Chicago.
2011: Bertucci's celebrated its 30th birthday by bringing back some classic dishes from our earlier menus.
2012: Bertucci's opens the first 2ovens concept restaurant in Shrewsbury, MA. The brick ovens are the only method of cooking in the restaurant.
Today: There are 58 Bertucci's restaurants up and down the east coast from New Hampshire to Virginia. Every one of them adheres to the simple concept that Joey started over 30 years ago: Great food from the freshest ingredients, good friends and family, and the brick oven at the heart of it all.

Kentucky Governor Seizes Online Gambling Domain Names
from the can't-have-competition-for-horse-racing dept
"Illegal Internet gambling poses a unique threat to our Commonwealth. For individuals - particularly our youth - it is tantamount to a virtual home invasion. For some of our vital and most venerable legitimate enterprises, it undermines their exemplary regulatory compliance and siphons away their constituents."Home invasion? Really? A parked domain is the equivalent of a home invasion?

L'Instant de Guerlain pour homme - wonderful cold evening scent, I can figure wearing it with a turtleneck and flannel jacket
À l'air libre les oiseaux ont eux aussi le vertige (camille)
Burberry London as it's Christmas in a bottle.
Burberry London, L'Instant de Guerlain pour homme Extreme, Tobacco Vanille for me!
Burberry Brit New Year's Edition is also another "Christmas in a bottle" fragrance. It's pine, incense, and nutmeg. If Burberry London smells like Christmas night then this one smells like Christmas morning.
Amouage Epic Man owing to its festive ingredients (Frankincense, myrrh, etc)
Chanel Egoiste as this just feels royal in the cold
Terre d' Hermes Pure Parfum
Burberry London for me as well...
Current Top Favorites:

Yep, Burberry London is great at Christmas. The only problem is getting it to last through the day.
Another that reminds me of Christmas is Ralph Lauren's Purple Label. I think it has more projection and longevity than BL, and it definitely reminds me of the green/eucalyptus smells of Christmas.
Serge Luten's Rousse always puts me in the Holiday mood. One of the best cinnamon fragrances out there. It reminds me of those cinnamon & clove scented pine cones and decorative brooms they sell in the home decorating stores this time of year.
Others I like around this time include Diesel Zero Plus Masculine, V&R Spicebomb, A*Men original, Dior's Hypnotic Poison, & CK One Shock.
Tobacco Vanille + Oud Wood (layered)
Pure Malt
Just tried my sample of Norne from Slumberhouse... it's smells like the sap from a Christmas tree... It may just end up being my 2012 Holiday Scent!
Top notes of... sweat, gasoline, motor oil; a heart of deer musk and gunpowder, resting on a base of sex and testosterone... Mandom.
Thanks guys, ordering some samples right now
Count me in for the Burberry London on Christmas. New Year's Eve might be Bvlgari pour Homme Soir or vintage Dolce & Gabbana pour Homme.
I don't have a signature fragrance. My signature changes a little bit every day, why shouldn't my fragrance?
Serge Lutens Fille en Aiguilles smells very Christmas-y to me, with the pine note, incense, spices, etc.
Nothing special that I wouldn't wear on any other day. But then again - maybe I'll go with Clive Christian No. 1 pure parfum.
Creed Original Santal and TomFord Oud Wood
One shot Tuscan Leather and 2 shots of Oud Wood.
Givenchy Gentlemen
I'm not OLD...I'm VINTAGE!
Apart from Burberry London, I'd also like to suggest Declaration by Cartier.
L'Instant de Guerlain pour homme Extreme
Burberry London
Agraria Balsam
Boucheron Jaipur
Goutal Encens Flamboyant & Myrrh Ardente
Wanna Shop? --> Buzier's Sales
MY TOP SHELF: Azzaro pH, Bel Ami, Blackbird, Blend 30, Cuba, Davidoff '84, Derby, Edition, Equipage, Jules, Knize Ten, Kouros, Leather Oud, Puredistance M, Santal Noble, Tribute Attar, Yatagan
Bois des Iles Chanel is incredibly warm and a classic
As for the new classics I'd recommend Eau des Merveilles and L'Ambre des Merveilles - both great just differently nuanced
A classic cheapie- Charlie Red- I think purely for sentimental reasons.
Other than that, probably some warm gourmand scent.

Week of September 17, 2012 – Accessibility week on Daily Edventures
We don't often think about what education means, but when you consider its impact, education is fundamentally about accessibility — to information, to new experiences and to future opportunities. Unfortunately, as we all know, not every student has access to those very important gifts. Geography, timing and circumstance (to name just a few obstacles) can sometimes get in the way.
This week, we're celebrating the educators and innovators who are making education more accessible for students with learning challenges. Whether they are hearing or vision impaired, or struggle with any number of learning or physical disabilities, all students deserve a robust education. And today, as at no other time in history, technology is enabling these students to enjoy the same benefits of education as any of their peers.
Back-to-school is a great time to personalize technology to prepare students for learning.
And all this week, we'll be highlighting people, ideas and tools to help make it easier for you to do just that. You'll meet some inspiring educators who have made a tangible difference for their students, and find links to Microsoft's guides, workshops, and curriculum resources to help you personalize PCs for students with different learning styles and special education needs. If a student has trouble seeing, hearing, or concentrating, personalizing the PC can make it easier for that student to see, hear, and use it more comfortably and effectively.
Today, we'll talk to recent Microsoft Partners in Learning U.S. Forum winner Robin Lowell. Lowell and her colleagues have found an effective (and affordable) way to provide distance learning to visually impaired students all across my home state of Washington.
Also this week, we'll talk to two winning Imagine Cup teams, from the Philippines and Mexico, who are working to change the way students with Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and autism learn. Not only have both teams built tools for students, but they've also made it easier for parents and teachers to modify and customize those tools. There's even more on accessibility all this week, and don't forget to look through our archives for other inspiring stories of teachers who have fought to make learning possible for all their students (like Qatar's David Banes).
I'm sure we'll be hearing more about accessibility at our Partners in Learning Global Forum in Prague on November 28. In the meantime, be sure to join the Microsoft Partners in Learning network now for access to tools, resources and an unparalleled worldwide community of educators working to ensure every child receives the education he or she deserves.
Have a great week, and I hope you'll join us in celebrating education for all!

Clearly, so does Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer. In an interview with 3TV, Brewer is asked about climate change. After fumbling over an answer, she walks away, but then comes back.
She allegedly lightly punches 3TV Political Editor Dennis Welch in the arm and asks him, "Where the hell did that come from?"

Process Cleaning for Healthy Schools (PCHS)™ Makes Advanced Vapor Technologies' TANCS® a Preferred Product
(Sparks, NV) Process Cleaning for Healthy Schools (PCHS), an innovative new cleaning method, has named Advanced Vapor Technologies' TANCS® steam vapor units preferred products, signifying that they meet the highest standards for cleaning and sanitizing in education facilities.
PCHS trains custodial workers with a standardized w orkflow and cleaning specialization based on a detailed plan for daily and deep cleaning. It was founded by Rex Morrison who, after w orking at Washoe County Public Schools in Reno, Nev., adapted and refined the principles of specialist cleaning into a process targeted at K-12 schools.
By implementing ergonomic tools, green cleaning and chemical-free agents, a streamlined workflow, and timing and logging tasks, Morrison was able to save the Washoe County Public School District (WCSD) thousands of dollars in the first year. Now many schools and even commercial cleaning operations have implemented PCHS's remarkably effective method.
Cleaning for the health and safety of building occupants rather than just for appearance, Morrison's cleaning program had some unintended, but impressive side effects. Average daily attendance at WCSD w ent up by 6.5 percent. Many schools receive funding based on daily attendance and could greatly increase their resources by implementing a system like TANCS.
"The utility of the TANCS steam vapor system is chemical-free deep cleaning of areas w ithin the school, and in disinfection of touch points without lengthy dwell time," said Morrison. "We find that nothing beats the TANCS steam vapor approach whenever we need a fast, chemical-free method to clean and break the chain of infection at schools."
"We don't clean for appearance anymore, we clean for health. We can go to any school district and guarantee cleaner, more germ free student and staff spaces in less time."

4.6 Ward Council Meetings
The ward council meets regularly (at least monthly). The meeting usually lasts 60 to 90 minutes.
The bishop presides over the meeting. If he is absent, he may assign a counselor to preside. However, major decisions are not made in the bishop's absence.
As recommended by the ward mission leader, the bishop may occasionally invite full-time missionaries to meet with the ward council.
Guiding Principles
Priesthood and auxiliary leaders attend ward council meetings in two capacities: (1) as ward council members who help the bishop address needs and concerns in the ward and find solutions and (2) as representatives of their organizations. These leaders seek the guidance of the Holy Ghost as they unite in love and concern for those they serve.
Ward council meetings should focus on matters that will strengthen individuals and families. The council spends minimal time on calendaring, activity planning, and other administrative business.
During the meeting, the bishop explains each matter being considered, but he does not normally decide how to resolve the matter until he has heard the discussion. He encourages discussion without dominating it. He asks questions and may ask particular council members for their suggestions. He listens carefully before making a decision. These discussions should foster a spirit of inspiration.
Council members are encouraged to speak honestly, both from their personal experience and from their positions as organization leaders. Both men and women should feel that their comments are valued as full participants. The bishop seeks input from Relief Society, Young Women, and Primary leaders in all matters considered by the ward council. The viewpoint of women is sometimes different from that of men, and it adds essential perspective to understanding and responding to members' needs.
After open discussion, the bishop may make a decision, or he may wait to discuss the matter further with his counselors. After he makes a decision, council members should support it in a spirit of unity and harmony.
If council members have strongly unsettled feelings about an important decision, the bishop may wait for another council meeting to consider the matter further and seek spiritual confirmation and unity.
Sample Agenda
Under the bishop's direction, the executive secretary prepares an agenda for ward council meeting. The bishop invites council members to contact the executive secretary to place items on the agenda. The executive secretary may also suggest agenda items, including those from previous meetings that may need additional discussion or follow-up. The executive secretary may also prepare a calendar of upcoming ward events for council members to review.
A list of items that could be included on the agenda is provided below. The bishop should not try to consider all of these items in every meeting. Instead, he prioritizes each meeting's agenda to address the most important matters first. Rather than discussing too many subjects in a superficial way, it is better to focus on a few that will bless the most individuals and families. The bishop relies on inspiration to know which subjects matter most at a particular time.
Undertaking a Course of Action
The ward council seeks inspiration in developing a course of action to bless the lives of members. The council's focus is on helping people, not administering programs.
Priesthood and auxiliary leaders use their own leadership meetings to review ward council decisions and enlist the help of other leaders and teachers in their organization to fulfill council assignments. Similarly, the ward mission leader holds a missionary coordination meeting with the full-time missionaries and ward missionaries to carry out the decisions of the ward council. This work in the organizations is an extension of the spirit and purpose of the ward council.
When undertaking a course of action, council members should be careful to avoid overburdening individuals and families (see Mosiah 4:27; D&C 10:4). Each member's first priority is to his or her family. The ward council ensures an appropriate balance between the member's family obligations and his or her responsibilities in the Church.
Ward council members regularly evaluate each course of action and report on their assignments. In most instances, progress will require sustained attention and follow-up assignments.
Responsibilities of the Ward Clerk
The ward clerk keeps a record of assignments and decisions made during ward council meetings. He makes sure that information used by
Other responsibilities of the ward clerk are outlined in Handbook 1, 13.4.2.
Responsibilities of the Executive Secretary
The executive secretary prepares agendas for ward council meetings as outlined in 4.6.2. The bishop may also ask him to help follow up with ward council members on their assignments. In addition, the bishop may ask him to obtain reports from ward council members on the status of investigators, new members, members returning to activity, and other matters.
Other responsibilities of the ward executive secretary are outlined in Handbook 1, 13.4.4.

Michelle Newman, once the highest ranking woman at the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, was demoted after she was asked to leave the FBI National Academy for inappropriate behavior with another student, documents released Monday show.
Michelle Newman, once the highest ranking woman at the Volusia County Sheriff's Office, was demoted after she was asked to leave the FBI National Academy for inappropriate behavior with another student, documents released Monday show.
According to a memo sent to Sheriff Ben Johnson by a unit chief at the academy in Quantico, Va., Newman and a police officer named Robert Turner became a couple at the National Academy in violation of the prestigious school's standards of conduct, the memo from National Academy Unit Chief Greg Cappetta states.
FBI National Academy spokesman Kurt Crawford said not allowing a student to graduate from the National Academy because of bad behavior "is not common at all." Crawford declined comment on Newman or Turner.
Cappetta called Johnson on Sept. 18 — three days before Newman should have graduated — and then sent him a memo on Oct. 22. Newman's class was the National Academy's 250th session. The sessions usually last 10 weeks and Newman was supposed to have graduated on Sept. 21.
It was the second time this year that Newman had been under investigation by the Sheriff's Office for inappropriate relationships with another officer.
The first investigation was done in August while Newman was at the National Academy and before the latest accusations surfaced. Newman and several of her colleagues were accused of having extramarital relations. But none of the allegations in that first query were sustained.
But this time around, Newman was found to have violated at least four Volusia County and Sheriff's Office policies.
She denied having sex with Turner, but did admit that she sat in his bed watching movies with him and kissing, according to the investigation.
Formerly a captain in charge of Investigative Services, Newman has been demoted to the rank of lieutenant. She also began serving an unpaid, 30-day suspension that began Monday.
But Cappetta's letter says Newman admitted to more than just kissing.
He said Newman admitted to "kissing, cuddling and fondling while in bed with him (Turner)."
As a result of Cappetta's call and message to Johnson, an internal affairs investigation was launched in late September against Newman, a 14-year-veteran of the Sheriff's Office.
"Your actions, while representing the Volusia County Sheriff's Office in a leadership role, showed a lack of judgment and poor decision making on your part," Johnson wrote in his notice of demotion and suspension to Newman. "In addition, your conduct has brought great embarrassment to the agency."
Johnson also told Newman that he was "greatly disappointed."
In his letter to the sheriff, Cappetta told Johnson that he learned of the Newman-Turner relationship during the "later stages" of the 250th session. Cappetta said some students had become "couples" and their behavior was distracting other members of the class. The class had a total of 265 students, including Newman and Turner.
Cappetta said that during one excursion to New York that was attended by several class members, some "dirty dancing" occurred "so provocative it offended other session members."
He identified one of the couples as Newman and Turner, but it's not clear from Cappetta's memo whether Newman and Turner did a dirty dance while in New York. Newman denied that when questioned during her investigation.
However, Cappetta learned from Turner's roommate that Newman and Turner watched movies in bed together. The roommate also said that he and Turner would text each other to determine when the roommate would not be at the room, Cappetta's memo shows.
The roommate said the relationship went on for a while and that he and Turner's bedroom had even been "reconfigured" with furniture placed between the two beds to create a temporary wall, Cappetta's memo states. The roommate said he could not see what Newman and Turner were doing on the other side of the makeshift wall, but he could hear the pair kissing and whispering.
Both Newman and Turner are married; both told others in their class that they were in "bad marriages," Cappetta's letter states.
When Cappetta interviewed Turner, he said Turner denied doing anything with Newman. Cappetta also said Turner took an "aggressive stance" with him and Turner was "summarily dismissed" from the National Academy.
Newman, however, had landed in a local hospital about a week before her graduation from the school, Cappetta said. She refused to tell her counselors at the National Academy what was wrong with her, Cappetta's letter shows.
Owen Harris, the assistant director of the National Academy, then decided that Newman was not graduating with the other members of the 250th session, Cappetta said.
"She violated the conduct standard which states, in part, that FBI NA students will be held accountable for their conduct while at and away from the Academy," Cappetta wrote in his letter.
He said any misconduct — especially alcohol related — would be critically assessed.
"Furthermore it was determined that the NA is a prestigious program and only the leaders in law enforcement should be representative of its high standards. Ms. Newman, by her actions, did not live up to the high standards required to represent the NA," Cappetta said.
Volusia sheriff's spokesman Gary Davidson said Newman's salary as a captain was $60,280. Because of her demotion, however, her pay will decrease, he said. Her new salary has not yet been determined. She becomes the second female lieutenant in the Sheriff's Office.

Calling It A Day
The second Izod IndyCar Series practice is over and much to Roy Hobbson's dismay, I'm back in the media center – for a couple of reasons; I can use their wi-fi and it's air-conditioned.
What a day it's been. I do know that Will Power paced both sessions as he aims for a three-peat. But mainly, I've had a blast. Wish I could be here tomorrow, but will certainly be back on Sumday.
I'll have some more thoughts posted tomorrow, but my battery is going.

Some have said that the majority of Jews are safe while others tell us that the Moslem rebellion has endangered all Jews in Iran. Kohmeini himself has said that Jews and other non- Moslems have freedom of religion, albeit as second- class citizens. But his writ ings reveal a definite anti- Semitism as well as an anti- Christian streak. Jews could easily become the scapegoat in any setbacks to the Kho-' meini rule. Even more disturbing is that all of those in power in. Iran, from radicals to moderates, have expressed common cause with the Palestine Liberation Organization. Haniel Chasan, the PLO's representative in Teheran, in a New Year's statement on Radio Iran, proclaimed "We derive our main support from the Iranian Revolution. In five years we shall proclaim a Palestinian government and in 15 Photos Show PLO Has Soviet Tanks TEL AVIV (JTA)—Israeli intelligence services distributed two aerial reconnaissance photographs recently showing Soviet-made T-34 tanks in the hands of Palestinian terrorists in south Lebanon. An army spokesman said the tanks, of World War II vintage, are positioned near Tyre, a terrorist stronghold on the Lebanese coast. The photos bear out Israeli reports and corroborating information by the Christian Phalangist radio in Lebanon that the Palestine Liberation Organization was receiving heavy equipment from Russia. The PLO has denied this. Israeli intelligence also has information that Palestinians are undergoing training in armored warfare in Syria and in Soviet bloc countries. (By Yitzhak ShargiL) Evron Says Israel Not Unified On U.S.-Egyptian Arms Deal Issue JERUSALEM (JTA)—Ephraim Evron, Israel's Ambassador to the United States, complained last week that hi^ Embassy in Washington finds it difficult to campaign against the U.S.-Egyptian arms deal because there is no unified stand in Israel on the issuer In the course of an address to senior Foreign Ministry officials, Evron lashed out at "yordim" (emigrants from Israel) in the United States* who, he claimed, disparage Israel, He also suggested that feuding Cabinet ministers "watch their tongues" because'reports of their disagreements reach the overseas press. On the issue of the proposed sale of sophisticated American weaponry to Egypt) Evron saicr there were three views in Israel. Defense Minister Ezer Weizman believes that Israel should not oppose the deals while the two countries are striving to normalize their relations, he said. Another school, headed by Moshe Arens, chairman of the Knesset's Foreign Affairs and Security Committee, wants Israel to take drastic action to oppose the deals, and Premier Menachem Begin says Israel should concentrate on trying to limit the quantity and quality of arms sold to Egypt. "How can* one fight the American intentions to supply Egypt with sophisticated arms when Israel's leaders differ on the issue and wheri the American Administration knows of the* difference?" Evron asked. (By Gil Sedan.) (^ Yiddish Collection Expanded At Tifereth Israel's library With the resurgence of interest in Yiddish language and literature; Manne Aronovsky, Librarian at the Minnie Cobey Memorial Library of Tifereth Israel, has been hard at work expanding ' the collection of works in the mother tongue of European Jewry. In addition to the Forward, the only remaining Yiddish language newspaper pub- . lished in this country, the library houses nearly 200 titles in Yiddish, and the collection is growing. On its way to becoming Central Ohio's largest collection of Yiddish works'available for loan, the library is expanding its catalog of Yiddish books from a number of private collections as well as Tifereth Israel genizah, storage place for worn books, where many serviceable Yiddish works have been erroneously placed. The secret to the success ^of the, Minnie Cobey Memorial Library is Mrs. Aronovsky, a professional librarian and educator whose mother tongue is Yiddish. Originally from Belgium, Aronovsky escaped the Holocaust by travelling with her .family to the Caribbean and ultimately to New York City in 1946. The mother of four children and one grandchild has a Masters- Degree in Education and has served on the staff of a number of seminars in Jewish Studies and Manne Aronovsky Education at Ohio State University. ~ She directs all aspects of the Cobey .Library at Tifereth Israel, which contains over 4500 volumes and receives 35 periodicals, many in Hebrew. Prompting the use of the extensive children's collection of the library, Mrs. Aronovsky has developed a young people's reading club that has encouraged over 200 youngsters ages 6-10 to broaden their reading to include books on Jewish subjects. In her two and a half years with the library, endowed by the Melton and Cobey- families, she has expanded the hours to the point where all who wish may borrow from the library daily from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.\. Friday, 9 a.m.-3 p.m. and^Sunday 9 a.m.- 12:30 p.m. The library welcomes visitors at its location i at 1354 Blast Broad St., in the ' Tifereth1 Israel Synagogue building. years we hope to destroy Israel." The closeness between the PLO and the Iranian rulers puts Iranian Jews in jeopardy. At any time they can be labeled Zionists. They have already been warned against support for Israel. We don't know if Iranian Jewry has a Mordechai among them today. Jews outside Iran will have to assume that role. The best hope for Jews in countries like Iran, the Soviet Union, Syria, Argentina, is the organized strength on behalf of their brothers and sisters in the United States, Israel and elsewhere in the free world.

Director Victor Fleming's final film features Ingrid Bergman as a vivid and luminous Joan of Arc, the 15th-century French peasant girl who led the French in battle against the invading English, becoming a national hero. When she was captured, tortured, and ultimately executed by the English, she was made a Catholic saint.
Bergman's Joan is a strong and spiritual figure who proves her devotion to the Dauphin (Jose Ferrer), later to become the King of France.
Joan is compelling as she wins an alliance with the Governor of Vaucouleurs and the courtiers at Chinon, leads her army in the Battle of Orleans, is betrayed by the Burgundians, and edicts that our strength is in our faith.

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — As two-time NBA MVP Steve Nash walked away from Friday morning's shootaround sharing very little confidence of being able to play in tonight's Game 3 against the San Antonio Spurs, newly crowned D-League MVP Andrew Goudelock strode in high-stepping over his own swagger.
Goudelock said the plan is for him to start tonight at point guard if Nash is unable to go. Nash said he's feeling better, but is a "long way from being NBA-ready." With Steve Blake out indefinitely, Jodie Meeks doubtful and Kobe Bryant on crutches, L.A. will likely be without its top four guards. Goudelock and Darius Morris would run the backcourt.
That means the 6-foot-3 Goudelock will draw San Antonio Spurs point guard Tony Parker on the defensive end. How does Goudelocke, with 425 minutes of NBA action under his belt, plan to do that?
"Just stay in front of him," Goudelock said, matter-of-factly. "He's a really quick guy, don't let him get anything in transition, stay up on the pick-and-rolls. He's got to guard me too, so I'm not really worried about Tony Parker."
Goudelock averaged 21.4 ppg in the D-League and he has 175 total points in 41 career NBA games, or the amount Parker has scored in his last games — and that was playing through nagging injuries.
"I've always been a scorer, put the ball in the basket," Goudelock said. "I lost a lot of weight so I'm a lot quicker. I just bring a lot of energy. Those guys don't really know me, so I can bring something unexpected. With my scoring ability I think I can help a lot."
The Lakers could certainly use it. They've scored 79 and 91 points and shot 43.2 percent in falling in a 2-0 hole
As the point guard, Goudelock said he can pass the ball, too, and find Dwight Howard and Pau Gasol for looks inside. He had never played the point until this season, but he says he's a greatly improved passer. The Lakers players, although they haven't seen much of him this season, expressed confidence in Goudelock's game.
Kobe had already nicknamed him "Mini Mamba" for his scoring ability and attack mentality.
"People have to always honor my scoring, so it makes it easier to pass the ball because I get so much attention because they know that I can score and they probably don't think I'm gonna pass it," Goudelock said. "I've seen scouting reports from other teams that will be like 'he's not going to pass it.' So it makes it that much easier for me to get 10 or 11 assists in the D-League because I'm getting double-teamed, getting so much attention, they know I can score, so it makes it easier for a guy like me, whether if I wasn't a scorer as much it might be a little bit tougher because guys might be able to sag off me or do some other things.
"But being able to score and add that scoring punch takes a lot of load off my shoulders."
That will be Parker's problem, apparently. But one thing Goudelock will have to watch when he's guarding the shifty Parker is the ticky-tack-type foul that he picked up during his brief appearance in Game 2.
"It's going to happen. I'm a young guy, they don't know me, they're going to call that," Goudelock said. "I'm ready for it. I'm ready for all of this. It doesn't matter. I've been doing this since I was about 5 years old. It's no different from if it's Tony Parker or a guy in the D-League. They're going to have to guard me, I'm going to have to guard them, it's all basketball."
Goudelock certainly talks the talk. The Lakers now need him to walk the walk.

CARSON, Calif. – International friendlies in midseason are a considerable balancing act for MLS clubs and the LA Galaxy's friendly against Real Madrid was no different.
With an important MLS game against the Seattle Sounders just days later, the Galaxy were faced with a stiff test against the Spanish giants on Thursday, eventually falling 5-1 to the reigning La Liga Champions. The match was a challenging one for both clubs as the Galaxy, who are currently in midseason, did not wish to provide extended minutes to their starters while Real Madrid—in the midst of preseason—were concerned about providing minutes to players, who were not fully fit.
Bruce Arena's Postgame Reaction
In order to mitigate this conundrum, Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena and Madrid boss Jose Mourinho came to an agreement before the game that was beneficial for both clubs.
"Basically it was a good training session for us and for them. I spoke yesterday with Bruce and we agreed that we were going to play with two teams for 45 minutes," Mourinho said after Madrid's 5-1 victory. "For them it's important because they are playing for a championship, for us we are just starting and we have players only with 4 days of training sessions. So it was good.
"The Galaxy are a kind of team that is not worried about losing 4-1 or 1-0," Mourinho added. "They are just worried about playing, and playing well, playing their game and letting us play, and at this point in the season I think that's the most important thing for us."
Although the score line was hardly a flattering one, Arena told reporters after the match that the friendly was more about the experience than the final score.
"If you look at the games Real Madrid plays in La Liga, they beat teams by bigger margins than they won tonight," said Galaxy coach Bruce Arena. "We don't claim to be at the level of Real Madrid at this point in MLS, to be honest with you. If you play an exhibition tonight and you get a better result, it doesn't matter, we're not there yet.
HIGHLIGHTS: LA Galaxy 1, Real Madrid 5
"We don't worry about the result tonight, whether it was in our favor or not," Arena added. "This is an exhibition; there is obvious value for both teams, and it's a fabulous experience for our fans and to see one of the great teams in the world and some of the great players. It's not about the result and who won tonight and bragging rights. [It] has nothing to do with that
What was most important for the Galaxy head coach was his ability to allow some of his youngest players like Jose Villarreal and Jack McBean a chance to learn from some of the best players of the world.
"For me, you never could have put this game on 15 years ago playing the young players we played in the second half," said Arena. "There's tremendous growth in this league but there needs to be some patience but I think the exhibition, as an exhibition, was outstanding. It was a great night for the fans and it was productive for both clubs."

TBH, if shipping to the UK weren't so expensive (us$15 or so) I'd offer to ship you ones you're missing, if any. Unfortunately, it's beyond my means -- America has a LOT of issues, how we treat our poor being one of them, in a big way. (Small example: Mom and I live on her disability check; it's ~us$1k/mo. We do not receive Food Stamps any more, and therefore making ends meet is difficult at best.)
In a previous lifetime (ie before bad stuff happened and we became poor) Mom was an attorney and we traveled to Europe every other summer. I say this a lot: if I could pick one city to live in, it would be London.
Maybe someday. Right now I couldn't afford the trip to the airport.

Updated my second post to add an iso that has Textmaker2012 only (does not include the Planmaker or Presentations). It includes sns and xorg, and just has Dillo as the browser to keep things lightweight.
TM2012 is stripped from the Freeoffice2012 package and is able to read docx and also create pdfs if needed. Pretty neat little word processor.

Want to report some issues and some successes.
I installed pUPnGO2012 with Xorg/SNS/FreeOffice to the Infernal Dell.
System specs --
Dell Latitude CPi D300XT
300MHz Pentium II CPU
128MB "EDO" RAM (2x64MB)
NeoMagic graphics card
4GB CompactFlash "HDD" in CF->IDE adapter
CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive in modular bay
(The bay modules are more modular than Dell wants you to know -- I've a Combo drive from a Thinkpad in this one!)
Shutdown from CD absolutely positively 100% would refuse to in any way generate a save file. So I couldn't install it using the install script...
So I did my first manual install! ("did you know" there's no thread for that in HOWTO??? What the...!) I copied the zdrv and main sfs files over, along with initrd.gz and vmlinuz. Then I rebooted with a Puplite5 CD and installed grub4dos. Then I rebooted with no CD in the drive.
As a note... this particular lovely little pile of dump has a graphics card that doesn't mesh well with Xvesa, and the screen likes to think it's an 800x600 screen when it's a 1024x768 screen. Whoopeedoo, there's a few extra steps here for graphical config --
(1) when the horribly colored desktop first shows up, hit CTRL+ALT+BKSP to get to the prompt.
(2) run xorgwizard. pick the 1024x768x16 resolution.
(3) afterwards, type xwin [ENTER] to get back to graphics. it will come up 800x600 'cause it thinks it's smarter than you (it's not!)
(4) navigate to (and open) the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf -- this is confusing because there's an xorg.conf
with a hard-to-see dot at the end. The one that's higher up in the list is the correct file.
(5) within xorg.conf, there are two sections that need attention. One is called "monitor" and the other "screen". Both will have a mention of the (wrong and ugly) 800x600 resolution. Change it in BOTH to 1024x768.
(6) save file, exit Beaver.
(7) CTRL+ALT+BKSP again.
nifty trick: [UP_ARROW] then [ENTER]. Or, if you like to type, type xwin [ENTER]
"Phew!" That's it.
BTW, even on this pokey little pile of [...] FreeOffice is pretty snappy. This was unexpected -- I figured it would bog things down unmercifully, but it seems to work pretty dang well.
Haven't tested SNS WiFi config -- have to dig up my Cardbus WiFi card and hope that the driver will work (IIRC it's one of those ones that needs ath5k or something... I've forgotten now exactly what it is). Also... sound still doesn't work on this laptop. xmixer crashes without any errors -- I type xmixer in terminal, and it hesitates for a second and then does a new line with the hashtag prompt on it. Oops! Meanwhile my only sound is a PCBEEP if I get an error message. (The sound problem is a known issue -- I've mentioned it before.)
Overall qualitative score: I'm a happy dude with this -- although there are some issues that still need fixing

I agree with you about Freeoffice being nippy - seems like a real honey to me.

To be clear, greengeek -- the strange issues with this Dell's graphics are basically because it's a really old Dell. This is a 1999 machine.
This laptop predates the ATi/nVIDIA market takeover or whatever it was -- it has a 3rd party graphics card by a company called NeoMagic, because back then, there WERE 3rd-party graphics, and Dell wanted something "odd" so that they could charge their customers mega $$$ to fix it when it broke.
I'm not going to out-and-out say that these problems will ONLY happen with this particular line of Dell laptops (the Latitude CP/CPi/CPx series) but I will say that *any* laptop of that vintage is going to have a lot of quirks.

Actually I had the same problem with my Tosh TE2100 lappy - I had to manually adjust xorg.conf and followed your howto comments from earlier in goingnuts thread - I had forgotten to write it up. It might be a common issue on other PCs aswell so I'm glad you've clarified the procedure.
I do have a Dell cpt which I've dug out (not used it for about 3 years) so I'm very interested in seeing what it takes to get yours going (then I'm going to copy your setup
Sounds like you've got yours going without adding in a NeoMagic driver - is that correct? I didn't realise this version of xorg had all it needed.
I was thinking about starting a separate thread for these Dell lappy sound issues- what do you think? Be nice to get a functional lightweight puppy going on these.
nope: turns out its a cpi D300XT just like yours. Not sure of the ram size yet. Must have a tinker soon.

The NeoMagic driver is built into this version of Xorg. It selects it automatically.
The trick with any other Puppy on these laptops -- do not do not DO NOT select "NeoMagic" at startup, or Xorg will crash flat on its face. Go for the generic Xorg driver, and let the firstrun wizard do its thing afterwards
I rather strongly suspect that this is not a "standard" version of the NeoMagic card (if there is such), but one that Dell tweaked...
By the way, the RAM on these is EDO. Regular PC100/133 won't work -- and although you can get EDO SODIMMs on eBay, they charge insane prices for them. I'd love to put 2x128mb in this thing, and max it out (max RAM is 256mb) but I simply can't afford it
Right now it has 2x64mb (128mb total) because that's as good as I can do.
The sound issue is a driver conflict -- IIRC the wrong driver is loaded, but I never was able to transplant the correct one from p412. Someone needs to compile the driver needed specifically for pUPnGO. Of course I've forgotten what the name of the driver is... also, pUPnGO doesn't really have a devx -- IIRC goingnuts started making one but never finished.
@goingnuts: what happens if I try to use a p412 devx? (I assume it won't work at all...)

OK. I'll download it, and see if there's an SFS installer in pUPnGO2012...
...and then I'll see if I can find the right driver.
I'm no coder, but I can

I've had some display problems booting pupngo2012 on certain machines (unrelated to a need for xorg) and have had some success with rearranging the display functions. I'm calling this derivative "TLCpngo12" as the critical display functions are referenced to the "Top Left Corner" instead of having the menu and drive icons sitting in an artificially calculated bottom_of_screen position.

@greengeek -- bravo on the new pUPnGO2012+ version (as I'm calling them now, lol) -- looking forward to trying it out on The Infernal Dell. Downloading now... should go well unless Mom notices a slowdown and reboots the router... hopefully that won't happen
Probably what I'll do is install the Opera pet that goingnuts gave me, along with the other stuff in the more recent posts in the pUPnGO2012 thread.
goingnuts, if you could post that fixed beaver pet somewhere, that'd be great, I'll put that in as well -- or really anything that's not CLI-based. Geany or Bluefish would be REALLY snazzy (but probably too big for this). Maybe there's a text editor that does something similar in a tiny space? Really what I miss is the programmer friendly stuff, oddly enough -- I can edit JWM "xml" a little better when it's in color

text: Real Estate Gazette: focus on the impact of change on investment Issue 28 Real Estate Gazette Series Share this 24 JUL 2017 By: Dr. Olaf Schmidt We would like to welcome all our readers to Issue 28 of DLA Piper's Real Estate Gazette. The observation that "the only constant is change" (Heraclitus, c. 535–475 BC) remains as true today as it was in the sixth century. The last year has seen a number of dramatic events which look set to change the international landscape beyond recognition. However, change is not all doom and gloom; altered circumstances bring new opportunities. In this issue of the Real Estate Gazette we look at how political, demographic and digital change is impacting the real estate market in some obvious – and some less expected – ways.

Fiat 500L Trekking
All-new Fiat 500L Trekking: the adventurous side of the 500L The premiere of the 2014 Fiat 500L Trekking expands the appeal and practicality of the Fiat 500L with distinct, rugged looks; an athletic two-tone interior environment; unique front and rear fascia designs, flared wheel arches and larger 17-inch wheels to support its adventurous personality.
"From Gucci to Abarth, our Fiat 500 and now all-new Fiat 500L illustrate the different personalities and capabilities the FIAT brand can deliver from the same basic sheet metal," said Tim Kuniskis. "And with the rugged personality of the Trekking, we will attract a wider cross section of customers while keeping intact all the great benefits of the Fiat 500L."
Making the all-new 2014 Fiat 500L Trekking distinct is the addition of aggressively styled front and rear fascias with Nero (black) accents for a bolder look. Unique Nero wheel arch and body-side sill moldings give the Fiat 500L Trekking a more adventurous look, while larger 17 x 7-inch aluminum wheels hint at the urban-utility vehicle's handling capabilities.
A unique two-tone Nero/Marrone (black/brown) interior environment continues the Fiat 500L Trekking's rugged-athletic theme. At the center of it all, an all-new Uconnect 5.0 system features a 5-inch intelligently and intuitively designed touchscreen interface, handsfree calling and Bluetooth-streaming audio, as well as voice-command control of the radio and a media hub for seamless integration of portable devices. For even more capability, the Fiat 500L Trekking can be had with the premium Uconnect 6.5 system with its larger 6.5-inch touchscreen radio, with dealer-activated navigation with intuitive map graphics and a premium media hub with SD card reader.
The all-new 2014 Fiat 500L and all-new Fiat 500L Trekking models are produced at FIAT Automobiles' manufacturing plant in Kragujevac, Serbia, and will arrive to FIAT Studios in North America in mid-2013.

Leafs extend Devils' losing streak to 6 games behind 27-save effort by Reimer
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
NEWARK, N.J. – Rookie Leo Komarov and Tyler Bozak scored and the Toronto Maple Leafs extended the reeling New Jersey Devils' losing streak to six games with a 2-1 victory on Saturday night.
James Reimer made 27 saves as the Maple Leafs strengthened their position in the tight Eastern Conference playoff race. The Maple Leafs are 5th in the East, seven points ahead of the Devils, who are now three points behind the eighth-place New York Islanders and the postseason cutoff.
David Clarkson deprived Reimer of his second shutout in three games with a goal with 8:23 left, but the Devils fell to 0-3-3 in their last six games.
The six-game skid is the second one this season for New Jersey, following an 8-1-3 start. The Devils haven't won since top forward Ilya Kovalchuk injured a shoulder.
Komarov scored early in the first period to stake Toronto to a 1-0 lead, and Bozak tallied midway through the third to double the advantage.
Komarov's second goal was scored when he deflected a shot from the point by defenseman Mark Fraser past defenseless Devils goalie Martin Brodeur. The 26-year-old Komarov had missed the previous six games because of an upper body injury.
Bozak's 11th goal of the season was a little fluky. He took a lead pass from Phil Kessel, broke in on Brodeur and nudged a shot on goal. Brodeur got the blade of his stick on the puck, but it popped up and rolled into the net before Steve Bernier could stop it.
Clarkson beat Reimer with a shot between the pads after defenseman Marek Zidlicky made a pass to spring him for a break in.
The only reason the Devils weren't ahead after the first period was Reimer. He made outstanding stops on Adam Henrique from the left circle and on a couple of chances in front by Stephen Gionta. His best save was an uncontested pad stop on a rebound attempt by Steve Sullivan, who was acquired by the Devils on Wednesday from Phoenix for a second tour with New Jersey.
Brodeur, who made his eighth straight start since returning from a back injury, didn't have much work but he kept the goal-challenged Devils in the game with an in-close stop on Kessel.
Both teams hit a goal post in the first period.
Devils defenseman Mark Fayne had his shot from the right point hit someone in the circle and deflect off the post. Clarke MacArthur hit the post late in the period.
The Maple Leafs played without Joffrey Lupul, who was out with an undisclosed injury sustained on Thursday against Philadelphia. He had five goals and five assists in his last five games.
NOTES: Kovalchuk is close to returning, coach Pete DeBoer said. ... Maple Leafs leading scorer Nazem Kadri appeared to hurt his left knee after being tripped by Fayne in the second period. He was down on the ice for a while but returned soon after. ... The 38-year-old Sullivan played parts of two seasons with the Devils from 1995-1997. He later played for Toronto.

Greene racketeering trial continued
Judge Norman Moon continued the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act civil suit yesterday afternoon that pits three Greene County residents against members of the Dogwood Valley property owners association.
Barely halfway through what was expected to be a four-day trial, Moon asked plaintiffs' lawyer Joe D'Erasmo to provide evidence that defendants Gary Lowe, the Dogwood Valley Citizens Association treasurer (and mayor of Stanardsville), and association officers Dean Musser, Keith Wynn, and Judy McDavid committed extortion under RICO when the association sent letters to residents telling them to pay special assessments after the Supreme Court of Virginia ruled in 2004 the organization could not collect under Virginia law. "It doesn't matter if they knew each other," advised Moon.
He also instructed the attorney to address whether Dogwood Valley Citizens Association treasurer Matt Brown, the fifth defendant, and president Gary Lowe depended on the advice of counsel in trying to collect special assessments and whether that's a defense. Brown testified that he went on his lawyer's advice when the association continued to put liens on properties after the 2004 Supreme Court of Virginia decision.
The association's lawyer, George Dygert, said on the stand that he had filed curative documents to bring the association in line with the court's ruling, and that he told his clients the move could be a risk. He also said Brown had bankrolled $159,000 in legal fees the association racked up litigating its way to the Virginia Supreme Court twice. Dygert's firm also took 25 percent of all delinquent debts it collected.
Another member of his firm, Kelly Hobbs, described how she collected delinquent road special assessments from residents and the process used to foreclose on two lots owned by William Winkelman, who took the association to the state's highest court. Winkelman owed $35 on each lot and a $50 penalty from 1997, Hobbs wrote him in a letter February 20, 1998, letter. His lots were sold at auction two months later on April 29, 1998.
Steve Miller, brother of plaintiff Joseph Mitchell Miller, testified about paying a special assessment in 2003 owed on a lot owned by his brother and mother. The association returned his $208, he said, and president Lowe did not allow Mitch Miller to vote at the association's June 28, 2003, meeting because his assessment had not been paid.
In testimony reminiscent of double-secret probation, Dogwood Valley resident Shirley Moore, 82, recounted how she'd gotten a letter from Lowe because of "misconduct" for collecting "illegal proxies," which Moore denied.
"I don't know anything about stuff like that," declared Moore. "I was a member in bad standing and could only use the road to go to my house, can't vote [at association meetings], and can't go to the [common area] pond."
Moore, too, had a lien put on her property in 1998. She said she paid the road fees, but didn't pay special assessments because, "They don't do anything for the road." She paid up $3014.33 before her 11 lots totaling 30 acres were put on the auction block.
Following a bad storm in 1995, Dogwood Valley residents voted for a one-time $100 special assessment to help repair the damage, Brown testified, and they looked at getting a low-interest loan from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Brown said FEMA required that the association collect delinquent road fees and pass special assessments.
Residents approved $35 special assessments from 1997 until 2002, when the Dogwood Valley Citizens Association board decided that under state law, the board could determine annual special assessments without the approval of 51 percent of the residents, Brown said. The subdivision's original 1968 incorporation called for annual fees of $15, and he called it "absurd" to try to maintain the subdivision's road on that amount, which brought in $7,100 a year.
Other witnesses today described types of gravel the association purchased from Luck Stone.
Judge Moon gave the lawyers five weeks to file the briefs.

Just what we need on a touch screen... Even smaller things to stab with our increasingly sausage like fingers... I assume the device comes with a finger sharper?
A trio of intrepid Czech fanbois have arguably proven that the display on the upcoming next-generation iPhone will have a resolution of 960 by 640, and a pixel density of an impressive 320ppi. How Vláďa Janeček, Tomáš Holčík and Filip Kůžel got their hands on Apple's decreasingly top-secret iPhone, they don't say — and proving …
...they'll simply make the buttons twice as many pixels wide and tall, so they are still the same size?
As for the supposed resolution, it does seem un Apple-like to make such a "our numbers are bigger than your numbers" move, which isn't tradionally their style. However, the fact it gets around the rescaling exisiting apps fact lends it a lot of credence.
The Nexus One uses an AMOLED display, with Nouvoyance's famous PenTile RGBG pixel arrangement. That means that even though there are 800x480 pixels, not all pixels can show all colours. Not that it really matters as long as you stick to showing off photos, but if you want to compare resolutions you ought to reduce it by 33%, as explained by Ars Technica:
Personally I wish that they would have gone for the PenTile RGBW array instead, but for some reason they never asked me...
The Nexus One's PenTile arrangement (also seen on the HTC Desire - my other half has one) isn't my favourite thing; the blue/red speckles are distracting compared with phones that have a "genuine" WVGA screen. While reviewing possible phone upgrades I'm currently looking very closely at reviews in an attempt to avoid it. (It's fine for a lot of people, and I defend their design decision, but it annoys me.)
The Ars Technica article and following discussions make a lot of cases in either direction for the screen; it's probably better than an RGB stripe screen with 2/3 the resolution in a lot of cases, but it's not as good as a genuine WVGA screen. However, no need to look at Ars, since the Reg article itself shows the N1's screen quite nicely. I'm glad to see Apple (allegedly) haven't gone with it.
It's possible that Apple have finally decided that some people have been avoiding the iPhone for years mostly because of its low resolution. If they were going to increase it, 960x640 is by far the most obvious choice (and I'm kind of surprised they didn't go with this for the iPad). 320ppi isn't so unreasonable - I've already got a 311ppi phone (Toshiba G900). The screen resolution isn't especially influenced by the sensor resolution - placing a finger accurately even at 160ppi is tricky; the benefit of a stylus is less that it's sharp than that you can see what you're poking.
Still, I'd just made up my mind to jump ship from Windows Mobile (my Touch Pro 2 has decided to crash whenever it displays a photo), with Android being most obvious as a platform I can write my own apps for (cheaply); a Samsung Beam or HTC Evo look tempting. Unfortunately, I'm a resolution junkie, and if Apple *do* break the habit of a lifetime and accept that 100ppi isn't the perfect dot pitch, I'm going to have to think carefully about this. If they do this, I wonder how long it'll take an Android phone manufacturer to catch up?
" I wonder how long it'll take an Android phone manufacturer to catch up"
Cool - more Android fragmentation. Pretty soon developing for this platform, you'll either choose one handset only (and be limited in how much you can sell), or you'll spend more time making allowances for every handset.
Android fragmentation? Android already has to deal with 800x480 and 852x480 screens, along with smaller variants and use on netbooks or external screens. It's been a long time since Android devices were all the same resolution - unlike the situation with the iPhone. On the other hand, the G1 had exactly the same pixel format as the iPhone, so I would hope most apps that were written to cope with it and use virtual coordinates might work okay. At least, it would be less work than a WXGA phone. (Aside: anyone got an acronym for 960x640? DVGA?) If the worst comes to the worst, you could always run an 800x480 app with black borders.
Frankly, I'll live if a few games are broken if it means I have more room for surfing, PDFs, editing...
Very few people not armed with microscopes are going to notice the difference between 160 and 320 dpi on a 3" screen.
Almost everyone will notice how much better an iPhoneHD app looks running on an iPad, bigger buttons for sure, but they'll be as crisp as the native iPad apps rather than current 480x320 apps which are pixel doubled to drop the iPad display down to an apparent 80dpi.
Can't argue with IPS though, that's just pure win.
"Very few people not armed with microscopes are going to notice the difference between 160 and 320 dpi on a 3" screen."
Codswallop. This kind of thinking is why I've been stuck with Windows Mobile for so long, as the only source (until recently) of decent-resolution phones. Lots of people claim that you'd never see the difference, and then someone actually reviews one and comments on how incredibly sharp the screen is. Some people claim you'd never want more than XGA on a monitor, but the same people tend to go "whoah" when presented with a T221.
Some people aren't comfortable with the phone held near their face. Fine: I won't begrudge them their original iPhones or G1s. I'm comfortable with the phone close up (in fact, after eye surgery, *only* with the phone close up), and I can see the pixels at 311ppi.
"According to the Czechs, the 320ppi pixel density of the display they examined is unmatched in any other handheld — the HTC HD2 tops out at 217ppi, the Motoroloa Droid at 265ppi, and Google's Nexus One, 252ppi. The current iPhone 3GS is a veritable fogey at 163ppi.
The 960-by-640 display would jibe with what DigiTimes analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported mid–last month:"
960-by-640 pixel count so what , that's still crap compared to Oct 17th 2006 tech...1920x1080 pixels and 1024x768 XGA
Sanyo-Epson announce 7.1-inch 1080p LCD: by far the world's smallest
By Thomas Ricker posted Oct 17th 2006 8:21AM
Sanyo-Epson 2006: UMPCs to bump that all-too-common 7-inch, 800x480 display to a whopping 1920x1080 pixels -- assuming same or greater battery life, naturally. What, who ya callin' greedy!? Now if that's still not small enough for you then try on their 2.6-inch TFT LCD panel also announced, touting a 1024x768 XGA resolution and destined for PMPs and cellphones. The panels will be on display at FPD International in Japan starting tomorrow where we hopes to gets additional details and wafer-thin snaps held by waffer-thin models -- you know, as these things tend to go."
Good question Tony Chandler, perhaps Rik Myslewski and the other's on the Elreg team should make some serious phone calls, and write up exactly why we don't have these and other current mobile sized 1920x1080 pixels and 1024x768 XGA displays available in bulk everywhere in today's High profile AVC HD market place.
i don't want no stinking 960x640 display when they were making these real HD 16:9 ratio displays way back then, i want to drop my existing AVC high profile 1080 and 720 mkv video directly on these mobile displays, i don't want to be farting about transcoding and re-scaling down to some sub standard lesser aspect ratio or screen size today...
I believe the Sanyo-Epson 7.1" screen was only even a technology demonstrator - although I can imagine it might have been handy for some professional TV cameras. If you do the maths, it was also only 310ppi, and wouldn't exactly fit in a pocket. I'd have loved one on a netbook, though (even with my pathological hatred of 16:9 as a format). Not that I ever stretched to a Sony Vaio P, which had probably the nearest approximation to this panel that I've ever seen in a product.
As for the XGA panel, I don't know what happened to it - although you can get some pretty high-res LCDs that are intended for sticking into projectors.
Nothing short of 1280x720 would actually be very useful for HD playback. The Android phones with 854x480 screens are at least 16:9 and have the same number of vertical pixels as US standard-def content (horizontal pixels don't help so much since the SD formats don't have square pixels anyway). I'm more interested in a high-res screen for web browsing, editing, reading PDFs, etc. - for all of these, 16:9 is detrimental. I'll save the HD resolutions for an integrated projector (or at least an integrated mini-HDMI). Roll on the Samsung Beam or HTC Evo. Preferably with a screen upgrade.

I doubt your eyes can resolve significantly better than 300 DPI on a display anyway. Anything higher and you're just pushing pixels with no benefit."
you seem to be missing the point, the fact is people will be using these and other mobile devices to store and play an existing given personal selection of content for viewing/interacting with it on the move Yes...
but they will also be taking this exact same content and connecting it to other far larger 52" + displays by wired 1gig and wireless 11N etc when available so a low bitrate and visually fuzzy "baseline" or even "main profile" 960-by-640 AVC.mkv will not do.
and i don't want to be making several versions/conversions on the fly or stored somewhere, i just want to use my existing and growing Blue ray/BBC HD Veetle and even near future "Sonic waves $323m in DivX"http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/06/02/sonic_divx/ etc High profile 1920x1080 and 1024x768 AVC/H.264 backups directly TODAY, end of story.
"but they will also be taking this exact same content and connecting it to other far larger 52" + displays by wired 1gig and wireless 11N etc when available so a low bitrate and visually fuzzy "baseline" or even "main profile" 960-by-640 AVC.mkv will not do."
Well, yes. Although you seem to mention some pretty exotic technologies compared with just plugging an HDMI cable in (the correct wireless video standard is a projector; everything else just knackers the available wireless bandwidth for everyone within yelling range). Still, there's no reason for the screen resolution of the phone to be the same as the target data resolution; just because it can play 1080p content and feed it down an HDMI cable doesn't mean the screen has to be 1920x1080. If you want 1080p content to look good on a phone screen, the logical panel would be something like 960x540, displayed with 2:1 downscaling; the alleged iPhone panel could do this merely by letterboxing a bit (aka somwhere to put the controls). Since everyone seems to have skipped 720p televisions (mostly because of 1366x768 panels making a mess of the picture) and most movie content seems to come out in 1080p, trying to fit a 1280x720 panel into a phone would probably make the image look only marginally better, and much more expensive. Keep the content at 1080p and it can be output to a larger screen in full resolution.
I'm hypothesizing, and I'm no great fan of Apple (I'd prefer to see the alleged screen for the new iPhone on an Android device), but 960x640 is actually far from a stupid choice for video playback. That said, as it happens, video is the last thing I'm likely to use a phone for - unless Sky produce an app that lets you download programmes from your Sky HD box for later viewing. (Hmm. There's an app in that.)

bollocks is a good word :)
960x640 is by no means the most obvious choice Today as its a crappy 3:2, not even reaching the old UK 4:3 ratio standard never mind the generic 16:9 everything and its dog are using now.
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_resolutions
there's ONLY One single right and viable generic global Long term "most obvious" choice today, and that's a valid and current 16:9 aspect ratio both for generic current 720/1080P and fully comparable/compatible with the future 16:9 3D and super-HD AVC 2K and Super Hi-Vision 4K 16:9 displays.
get with it man, don't keep taking everything apple PR tells you is good, 3:2 aspect ratio displays are NOT the future i want to use in the UK or the EU and far east....
1) When I described 960x640 as the obvious choice, I meant it only in that it provides the fewest porting difficulties for existing apps aimed at a 480x320 device. This applies to Android as well as Apple, although the Android market has had a bit longer to get their heads around the idea of variable resolution.
2) 3:2 is the right aspect ratio for displaying the output of most DSLRs. I'm a keen photographer. Gimme.
3) 16:9 is the right resolution only for video content. It was picked as a compromise between 4:3 and 2.35:1. Numerically, it's a pain for processing (e.g. 1080 pixels doesn't divide by 16, so most 1080p content wastes some encoding on half the macroblocks on the last line). It doesn't divide into many obvious lower resolutions (that are convenient multiples of 8 or 16 for display algorithms). It's too narrow for displaying A4 pages - it doesn't tile obviously. In landscape, too much of the vertical real estate is typically taken up by window furniture (or on-screen keyboard); in portrait, it's too narrow for a typical page width. 16:10 is better (and nearer to the golden ratio); 5:4 or 4:3 are better still, especially for desktop displays where the horizontal footprint is usually far more limited than the height of the ceiling, but I'll admit that a less square aspect ratio fits in the pocket better. 2.35:1 works for cinema because of the large solid angle and sense of immersion; it doesn't translate well to a small screen on a desktop, let alone phone. If you treat your phone as a video iPod, 16:9 probably makes sense. I use my phone for document and web browsing and for editing; I'll take my pixels where I can get them, but for me 16:9 on a phone is almost as much of a pain as it would be on a desktop. That said, phone manufacturers will probably follow the desktop panels to a 16:9 model: a 22" 16:9 monitor is significantly smaller than a 22" 16:10 monitor, and I'm sure they'd like to get more 4" phones out of a piece of glass.
4) While I don't think Apple's PR have said anything at all about a 960x640 screen (unless they were behind the alleged leak), I certainly have no interest in what Apple have to say - historically, what they've said is 100ppi is good enough for anyone. What I'd really want is this panel in an Android phone. After which, I still won't play videos on it. I have a TV for that, and its battery doesn't go flat when I need to make a phone call.
I'm curious as to who might be making the panel, though, and whether it'll be an Apple exclusive.
just to clarify this so called next gen iphone 960x640 display is not even an old standard 4:3 ratio SAR 1.333 or current 16:9 ratio SAR 1.778 see

Former Salvadoran Colonel Alleged War Crimes Considered in Immigration Case
Boston – A U.S. federal judge said he would consider the alleged war crimes of a former Salvadoran military colonel before his sentencing on separate immigration charges.
Inocente Orlando Montano is among 20 people that authorities in Spain indicted in 2011 following the 1989 slayings of six priests during El Salvador's 12-year civil war. He has denied involvement in the killings.
"The takeaway from today is Montano was before a judge who really wants to look at his human rights record," said attorney Carolyn Patty Blum from the Center for Justice and Accountability.
She called Tuesday "an incredible victory for human rights," saying it's the first time Montano's alleged role in the slayings will be aired in court. Her organization is leading the prosecution in Spain of what's called the Jesuit massacre.
"What this does is open the possibility that Montano will be in U.S. custody when a formal extradition request from Spain comes in," Geoff Thale, the program director at the Washington Office on Latin America told Fox News Latino.
A light sentence, on the other hand, could lead to a deal where Montano is deported back to El Salvador and thus unable to face charges in Spain due to the Central American nation's amnesty laws, Thale added.
In delaying Montano's sentencing, U.S. District Judge Douglas Woodlock said he might depart from sentencing guidelines when deciding a penalty. The defendant previously pleaded guilty to three counts of immigration fraud and three counts of perjury.
"My view is that, if proved, the allegations concerning Mr. Montano's acts with the military are matters that would cause me to consider an upward departure or variance," the judge said.
The government claims Montano lied about his past on U.S. immigration forms, including denying having military training when applying for temporary protected status as a foreign national, in part to avoid prosecution in El Salvador.
Prosecutors want the judge to consider a Stanford University political science professor's report that claims troops under Montano's command carried out 65 killings, 51 disappearances and 520 cases of torture, among abuses.
Blum's organization also submitted letters from alleged victims of human rights abuses reportedly perpetrated by troops under Montano.
He served as El Salvador's vice minister of defense for public security during a 30-year career as an elite member of the El Salvador Armed Forces.
A 1993 United Nations report found evidence Montano colluded with other Salvadoran military officials to murder a priest suspected of supporting leftist rebels, an order that allegedly resulted in the slayings of six priests and two other people at a Jesuit university.
Assistant U.S. Attorney John Capin said Tuesday the government isn't looking to prove allegations related to crimes in El Salvador, but rather to show that Montano came to the U.S. to escape potentially having to stand trial for them.
But federal defender Oscar Cruz Jr. said the government violated his client's plea agreement by asking the judge to consider a stricter sentence of about four years in prison based on allegations unrelated to the immigration case.
Cruz argued in court papers that the government's submission of the Stanford professor's report that paints his client "as a war criminal of epic proportions" is highly inflammatory.
Cruz said after court that he expects future testimony related to the Stanford professor's report, something he plans to challenge during a cross-exam.
Walking with a cane, Montano declined to comment while leaving court Tuesday. His next court date is expected to be in March.
The U.S. government has not indicated whether it would extradite Montano to Spain. He is in his 70s and was living near Boston for about a decade when authorities arrested him in 2011.
The Rev. Donald MacMillan, a Jesuit priest who works in Boston College campus ministry, said after Tuesday's court proceeding that he was looking for justice and peace for the families of the Jesuits slain in El Salvador.
"The Jesuit community would like to see justice served, and truth be told, and reconciliation take place for the Jesuit community, for the people involved, for the El Salvador community," MacMillan said.
The priest said Montano's sentencing on immigration charges would be a step toward justice, and he hoped Montano would face extradition to Spain.
