Purpose/Research Objectives
The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to support research using advanced technologies (e.g., bio-chips, microfluidics, and mobile technologies) to develop novel point-of-care (POC) devices and implement existing technologies in clinical settings with a goal to guide diagnostic and therapeutic efforts for the heart, lung, blood and sleep disorders. Applicants are encouraged to form a multidisciplinary team/network (i.e., from technical to clinical expertise) to develop devices that will significantly empower patients, physicians, and clinical researchers to better manage or treat HLB and sleep disorders.
Applicants should describe technical approaches, methodologies, and plan to develop and implement their POC devices that will significantly improve disease management and/or treatment. Applications should have all relevant details including quality control and assurance, standards for samples, handling, and testing. Related previous experience and qualifications of the team members should be well described. Once the POC tool/technology/test has been developed and validated, applicants will be expected to test the feasibility of the product in ongoing (or otherwise) heart, lung, blood and sleep clinical studies. Applications may also need to describe how to interpret the testing results as well as relevant bioinformatics and/or wireless technological component to link the POC test data with other relevant patient data (e.g., data in Electronic Health Records). This will enable the rapid sharing and synchronization of data for treatment at the POC. It is expected that commercial products or tools will be developed for use in the clinical setting at the POC as a result of this program.
POC technologies are becoming increasingly valuable tools in improving or enhancing the diagnosis of several conditions including congestive heart failure, acute coronary syndrome, coagulopathy and asthma. Major benefits such as faster time to intervention have been demonstrated when the results of POC testing are utilized in conjunction with Electronic Health Records or mobile technology, and when combined with goal directed therapy. Utilization of POC technology allows for:
Based on the benefits listed above, these technologies have the potential to play a pivotal role in personalizing medicine, improving healthcare delivery, and, ultimately, reducing healthcare costs. While many of these tools are being developed for clinical application, it is also possible that some of the existing technology could enhance the research enterprise by being used "onsite" for clinical research and trials. Additional benefits of POC-related tools and technologies in clinical research include: easier recruitment, baseline, and follow-up measurements, expedited patient ascertainment and analysis, more rapid dispensation of interventions, better quality control and monitoring of study compliance. Utilization of POC technology could also allow for research participants to be enrolled in less sophisticated research environments and remote, low-resource locations.
Specific Areas of Research Interest:
Projects that address a specific and well-characterized clinical need will be considered of high potential impact. The technologies developed with funding through this FOA are expected to be integrated systems or, if they are novel components, be easily integrated into existing systems. Proposed tools or technologies should interoperate and communicate with existing health information technology systems as appropriate. Some other technical features that are expected are the following: reliability, robustness, safety, simplicity, reliance on the appropriate baseline information, contextual awareness, inclusion of software to support decision-making, and consideration of power consumption. Ideally, systems will integrate information from multiple sensors, appropriate clinical information, and ambient data such as temperature or global position. Proposed tools and technologies should incorporate existing standards and consider regulatory requirements where appropriate. In addition, global health concerns, improved access to underserved areas, and cost-effectiveness should be highlighted.
Research examples include, but are not limited to:
Applicants are encouraged to collaborate with federally funded programs such as the NCATS Clinical and Translational Science Awards (CTSAs), the NIBIB Point-of-Care Technologies Network (POCTRN), the NICHD Medical Rehabilitation Research Infrastructure Network, the NIH Basic and Behavioral & Social Science Opportunity Network (OppNet), the NIH National Centers for Biomedical Computing (NCBC), the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) Practice Based Research Networks (PBRNs), the AHRQ Patient Safety Network (PSNet), the AHRQ Evidence-based Practice Centers (EPC), and the AHRQ Developing Evidence to Inform Decisions about Effectiveness (DEcIDE) Network. If collaborating with such a program, applicants should describe how the collaboration would enhance performance and productivity to explore, develop, and integrate tools and technologies for supporting clinical trials. Applicants are advised to provide a letter of agreement that identifies the level of support from the Principal Investigator or Program Director of those centers.

Characteristics of a Canine Distemper Virus Outbreak in Dichato, Chile Following the February 2010 Earthquake
Simple SummaryA disease outbreak in domestic dogs was reported by a coastal Chilean community following the February 2010 earthquake and tsunami. Using clinical exams and diagnostic testing, canine distemper virus was confirmed. Most dogs seen had never been vaccinated, and the majority of those with positive results were recorded in dogs less than two years of age. There were no facilities to contain or treat dogs locally, and no plan to shelter free-roaming dogs. This observational study demonstrates the great need for disaster preparedness planning in developing countries that includes companion animals.
AbstractFollowing the earthquake and tsunami disaster in Chile in February 2010, residents of Dichato reported high morbidity and mortality in dogs, descriptions of which resembled canine distemper virus (CDV). To assess the situation, free vaccine clinics were offered in April and May. Owner information, dog history and signalment were gathered; dogs received physical examinations and vaccines protecting against CDV, and other common canine pathogens. Blood was collected to screen for IgM antibodies to CDV. In total, 208 dogs received physical exams and vaccines were given to 177. IgM antibody titres to CDV were obtained for 104 dogs. Fifty-four dogs (51.9%) tested positive for CDV at the cut off titre of >1:50, but a total of 91.4% of dogs had a detectable titre >1:10. Most of the positive test results were in dogs less than 2 years of age; 33.5% had been previously vaccinated against CDV, and owners of 84 dogs (42.2%) reported clinical signs characteristic of CDV in their dogs following the disaster. The presence of endemic diseases in dog populations together with poor pre-disaster free-roaming dog management results in a potential for widespread negative effects following disasters. Creation of preparedness plans that include animal welfare, disease prevention and mitigation should be developed. View Full-Text

new juice for my tape deck
I helped some friends clean out their storage locker today, I got all the scraps! God I love junk. Three shoe boxes of cassette tapes. Motely Crue, Cars, Depeche Mode, all kinds of stuff. I want to keep everything, but I couldn't figure out why I should keep those cassettes. Then I found these four. Of course I should keep these. Self released mid 1990's slice of American music. I'm sure they only exist on cassette. Never pressed in vinyl or released on CD. It was a time in the world where four tracks recorded on tape and it only cost 500 bucks to get 250 tapes from the master. (Don't quote me on that price, I never actually got that far) This kind of junk is rare as hen's teeth. And as desirable.

Manchester United players were involved in a shouting match at half-time of Sunday's win over Liverpool, midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin has said.
Louis van Gaal's side struggled to gain a foothold during the first half at Anfield but ultimately snatched a winner 12 minutes from time through captain Wayne Rooney.
Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho claimed to French television after the match that United players were rattled at the break and Schneiderlin admits there were some heated exchanges prior to an improved second-half display.
"In the first half, we didn't win enough second balls. Sometimes we won the first ball but not the second ball," he told MUTV.
"When we came into the dressing room after the first half, there was some screaming and shouting but of course that is normal because in a derby you cannot lose the battle.
"Liverpool are a very high-pressing team and we knew if we kept a clean sheet we would have a chance to win the game.
"In the second half we did what we had to do. We scored one goal, stayed strong and, at the end, it is three points which is amazing."
Rooney's fourth goal in three Premier League matches proved the difference and Schneiderlin hopes he continues his strong form in 2016 so far in order to keep United in the trophy hunt.
He added: "Wayne is still the main figure at the club, he's the one guy who has scored so many goals in his career and he will keep doing it. Sometimes you have spells where you don't score but he has kept the smile on his face and trained hard.
"You saw his two goals against Newcastle were very good and today he scored another amazing goal. We need him in the second half of the season if we are to achieve something special."

RIM Gambles on Android-Loving Frankensystem
Oct 19, 2011 8:58 AM PT
Can a new mobile operating system pull Research In Motion (RIM), maker of BlackBerry devices, out of its current funk?
Not only has the company been steadily losing market share to competitors with flashier phones -- namely Apple and makers of Google Android handsets -- but its worldwide network recently experienced technical difficulties that left some of its customers without service for as long as three days.
It was against that backdrop that RIM CoCEO Mike Lazaridis announced Tuesday at the company's developers conference in San Francisco a new operating system for future BlackBerry models. Called "BBX" and based on QNX, an OS RIM bought from Harman International last year, the company is hoping the software will give its fortunes a boost in a market where it was once king.
Aside from the new name for the OS, few details about the software were made public by RIM -- not even a timetable for when the first BBX products would be reaching the market, although it's widely believed that will occur early in 2012.
Android Misstep
The new OS is supposed to combine the best features of the BlackBerry's old operating system and QNX. It will have a new user interface designed by a company called "The Astonishing Tribe" (TAT). It will have an improved gaming engine. It will support HTML5 through a browser crafted by Torch Mobile. And it will support Android apps running in a virtual environment.
Giving the OS a new name could be confusing for the BlackBerry community, noted Ken Dulaney, vice president for mobile computing with Gartner. RIM's Playbook tablet is already running QNX, he explained. Introducing something called "BBX" makes it look like RIM doesn't have a unified operating system approach.
"I'm a little nervous that they're renaming it," Dulaney told TechNewsWorld. "Why not call it 'QNX?'"
The trend in the market is to have one operating system for all mobile devices from a vendor, he explained. Apple has done it with iOS. Google is doing it with the Ice Cream Sandwich version of Android.
"Why BlackBerry would be splitting it when everybody else is consolidating it doesn't make a lot of sense," he noted.
Another misstep RIM could be taking with BBX is its support of Android apps.
"That's the same mistake IBM made with its OS2 operating system," Rob Enderle, president and principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told TechNewsWorld. "They focused on Windows support in OS2 for so long they basically gave control of the platform to Microsoft."
"Wherever your developers go, your users will eventually end up," he said. "They're pushing their developers to Android, which means they're done. Once developers move, they don't come back."
Branding Update Needed
While BBX alone may not be enough to restore RIM to its former market status, it could help turn things around for the company, according to Michael Morgan, a mobile devices analyst with ABI Research.
"It has the potential to make them competitive with the leaders in the market," he told TechNewsWorld, "but an operating system is just one tool that's needed."
Updating its technology is just half the battle for RIM, maintained telecommunications analyst Jeff Kagan.
"They have to update their brand," he told TechNewsWorld.
RIM was the leader in their sector for more than a decade, but it lost that leadership when the iPhone and Android were introduced, he explained.
"They offered advanced technologies -- things that RIM didn't do, or they did things better than RIM," he said.
"RIM did fine over the last 10 years because there was nothing better," he added. "Now there's something better."
Dicey Prospects
Nevertheless, RIM shouldn't be tossed into the dustbin of history just yet.
"It's not too late," Kagan contended. "They can come up with another version that can compete with the new technologies that are out there. If they do, they can be a player.
"They have to wow the marketplace," he added. "They haven't wowed the marketplace since the Apple iPhone came out. The marketplace has yawned when it comes to BlackBerry."
Even if the new BBX devices wow the market, RIM's immediate future won't be a picnic.
"They still have a rough year ahead of them," ABI's Morgan predicted.
Not only does RIM have to manage the introduction of new devices running a new operating system, but it also has to care and nurture its legacy platform, lest old BlackBerry users become new iPhone or Android users when their contracts expire.
"It's going to be a dicey next year for them," Morgan said. "It'll really show whether or not if they can pull through and get back to where they were."

Are Sony the Smart Ones with the PS3 in this Console Race?
There's no doubt that Sony has made mistakes this generation such as underestimating both Microsoft and Nintendo. Another mistake is relying too much on the brand image and not pumping out enough marketing.
However, if you have a look at the bigger picture, I think Sony are the smart ones in this console race, and I'm going to tell you why...
The Internet has been full of articles on why the PS3 is in trouble and how Sony have made mistakes since it launched. So I thought it would be right to give a fresh opinion on the matter.
There's no question that the PS3 has had a rocky start; it launched with very few quality games and it was argued by many that at its inception there was very little incentive to buy the PS3 over the older and cheaper Xbox 360.
The Xbox also had more titles and many multi-platform games that felt so much better than their PS3 counter-parts. As we approach the PS3's two-year anniversary in Europe however, the console is looking very different.
There are many quality titles under the PS3's belt including some impressive exclusives like LittleBigPlanet and Resistance 2. With Killzone 2 and hundreds of other titles just on the horizon, why does the media still bash the PS3?
Could it be 'revenue related'. The huge majority of websites on the internet are out there to make money, of course, and when the 360 has a higher market share than the PS3 they potentially can grab a lot more fans if they praise the Xbox and attack the PS3.
The problem is that these Web sites don't project the full picture. Right now HDTVs are only just starting to fully come out into the mass market and appeal beyond the early adopters. Likewise, the same is true with Blu-ray which is why HD consoles will start to become more and more important.
Sony included the Blu-ray drive into the PS3, an intelligent move considering it helped them win the format war and get all the royalties from every Blu-ray disc and player sold. Now as Blu-ray becomes more dominant in the home movie market, and as HDTVs become more popular, the PS3 will benefit immensely.
Microsoft released one year earlier than the PS3 (even earlier in Europe) at a time where HDTVs were in a niche market. In the last three years they have released many of their top titles like Halo while the PS3 struggled. Now that the public are more interested in the benefits of HD, the tide may have turned.
Sony is only now starting to push out their big names like Killzone 2, inFamous, Uncharted 2, Gran Turismo 5 and God of War III; all set to be big hits when they release in the future. And of course when you buy an HDTV you want some top HD movies to watch and this is where the ball bounces into Sony's court again.
Yes, the 360 has HD movies via download (and so does the PS3 in North America), but they are a long way from having dominance in the mass market.
Nintendo are clearly outselling both companies with the Wii, but how long will that last and further more, how will the software attach rate compare to the PS3 as it progresses? Historically, casual gamers buy far less software than the hardcore market and the Wii is simply a casual console.
Finally, the last subject I am going to look at is the PSP. The PSP isn't just Sony's attempt to dive into the portable market; it is also the half-way house from the PS2 to the PS3.
While PS2 owners started to use their PS2 system less and less, Sony introduced the PSP where gamers could continue their gaming habits until the PS3 was attractive enough to invest in. The PSP also introduces gamers who do not yet have a PS3 into the world of PSN which is starting to become a bigger part of the PS3's offerings.

you see this is the reason why I like this site, it's as unbiased as it can get. Kudos to microsoft, they released early, too early infact, they needed more time to do better hardware development to prevent RROD. That cost them dearly and will hurt them for some time to come.
Sony released too late, due to hardware problems with BD, but we dont have anywhere near the failure rate of the xbox360.
But I degress, Console wars are good for the consumer, we get the benfit of better pricing, hardware improvements and accessories.
I also think due to the delay, sony released a better product, look at the whole media center abilities of the PS3, there's a lot that the xbox can't and never will be able to do. With over 20million consoles world wide, and still growing, it's at your peril to write off the PS3.
Sure xbox360 sold more, but they had a 12month lead, but look what Sony acheived, they destroyed HDDVD, and some may argue, thats not a good thing, but for the consumer it is, there is an end to the format war. Movies ARE coming down in price now, new releases are as little as £12-£15.
There will always be pro's and con's to a console war, and a lot of people argue hardware perfomance, software exclusives, quality of games, and of course failure rate. MS may have more exclusives, but for the other points Sony and MS maybe enck and neck, or even Sony may just have an edge.
You decide, just dont discount the PS3 yet.

I personally own a Xbox 360 and a PS2 (not PS3). I think both parties have done a number of damage to their consoles.
Remember back when Nintendo released the NES, there was no question about reliability in that console. Moving on to SNES and Sega Genesis.. same thing. No question about reliability. Now, these consoles are getting to the point where all they have is "features" yet, none of them work flawlessly. On top of that, all these manufacturers are trying to build these awesome systems, but keep their budget down.
It's unbelievable how cheap some of the parts being places in these systems are. Then, you have the flame wars between the companies. The only one I have noticed taking the "easy road" is Nintendo with the wii. I think they messed up by now allowing HD with their system. I understand their "it's all about gameplay" campaign, but to draw a consumer into the market, there has to be a level of eyecandy..
So, to answer the question of whether sony were/are the smart ones? I personally think they're taking cheap shots, because they got backed into a corner..

'Tis the season to mull as much booze as you can reach and, until Twelfth Night at least, the aromas emanating from my kitchen will have a heavy focus on Christmas spices and good old fashioned grog.
Everyone and their aunt has been banging on about mulled cider this year. Apparently, in 2013 at least, spiced hot cider is much more chi chi than spiced hot wine. Granted, cider is the more economical choice when fuelling a crowd, but I can't say I'm wholly convinced mulled wine should be discounted entirely. Why can't we have both? Preferably one in each hand for easy comparison. In fact, when it comes to mulling, why stop at just drinking?
This year I decided to try my new apple peeler/corer/slicer contraption kindly sent to me by John Lewis to make an apple tart. But I didn't want to make just any apple tart. It's Christmas week after all and I wouldn't dream of discarding festive tradition by not throwing a tipple and a cinnamon stick at it. The contraption makes swift work of peeling, coring and slicing. In fact, I got through all the apples in less than 5 minutes, plus it was fun and looks a bit like a medieval torture device. So, win-win.
Firstly, I mulled some cider with a generous forkful of calvados (but you can use rum or brandy if you prefer) and poached some apples to make a base puree on which to place slices of apple in a concentric circle before drizzling everything in spiced caramel. You can buy readymade all butter puff pastry, make your own or make a gluten-free version using my recipe for GF flaky pastry. This pudding is delicious hot with custard or vanilla ice cream or you can serve it at room temperature as an afternoon pick-me-up. I served mine with homemade custard made in a non-stick milk pan from the Raymond Blanc collection. Now, I wouldn't normally get that excited by a saucepan, but this saucepan is non-stick and also goes in the dishwasher. I made porridge in it the other day and decided to go crazy by not soaking it before popping it in the dishwasher. There wasn't a scrap of baked-on oomska left when it came out, which makes this the lazy girl's dream saucepan.
This tart makes a very sophisticated and festive alternative for Christmas pudding haters, plus it leaves you with a pan of mulled cider ready for drinking, so you have plenty to keep you going while you get the mulled wine on for afters.
Mulled Apple Tart
For the mulled cider
2 litres
1 bay leaf
A few cloves
A few allspice berries
1 and a half cinnamon sticks
A suspicion of nutmeg
The grated zest and juice of 1 orange and 1 lemon
1 vanilla pod, seeds scraped out
1 star anise
5 tbsp. sugar
A good glug of calvados
For the mulled caramel
4 tbsp. soft light brown sugar
4 tbsp. calvados
A strip of orange zest
A strip of lemon zest
2 cloves
1 star anise
Half a cinnamon stick
For the tart
500g puff pastry/flaky pastry
7 eating apples (I used Jazz apples, because that's what was in my fruit bowl)
First, make the mulled cider by placing everything, including the squeezed out orange and lemon and the scraped out vanilla pod, in a large saucepan. Stir over a gentle heat until the sugar has dissolved. Peel and core 3 apples and slice them before chucking them into the mulled cider. Once they are soft, drain and blitz in a food processor. Leave the puree to cool. While it is cooling, make the spiced caramel by chucking all the ingredients into a pan and stir over a gentle heat until the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat and boil until the liquid becomes caramel. Set aside.
Roll the pastry until it is about the thickness of a £1 coin. Place a dinner plate on top and draw the knife around the pastry to cut a large circle. Place the circle of pastry on a baking parchment lined baking sheet and prick it with a fork. Spread the cooled apple puree over the pastry. Core (peel if you like, but there's no particular need) and slice the remaining apples and lay them over the puree in a concentric circle. Drizzle over a generous amount of the caramel, saving a couple of tbsp. for later and pop the tart in the oven to bake for 20 – 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden. Trickle over the remaining caramel. Transfer the tart to a serving plate and dust with a little icing sugar before serving.

Questus, the advertising agency that iMedia named 2012's Small Agency of
the Year and 2011's Agency of the Year, has released its documentary
film, The Naked Brand. The film is being released today through leading
digital entertainment curator Film Buff to iTunes, Amazon Instant,
CinemaNow, Vudu and YouTube (News - Alert).
"The Naked Brand is about the advertising revolution," said Jeff
Rosenblum, Questus co-founder and CEO. "It tells the story of how
changes in the advertising industry can help corporations save the
planet, one small step at a time."
"Corporations have incredible influence on the world we live, work and
play in," Rosenblum says. "But advances in technology are rapidly making
them accountable not just to shareholders, but to everyone. Smart brands
realize that looking great isn't enough. You have to be great."
Rosenblum and his crew spent more than a year researching, writing,
directing, and producing the film. His thesis In today's age of
technology and transparency, advertising is no longer sufficient for
creating a breakthrough brand. Instead, corporations must focus on
behavior more than messages.
The Naked Brand makes the argument that companies can profit by being
more environmentally aware, more conscious of employees and consumers,
and gnerally better. It features prominent personalities such as Kevin
Plank of Under Armour, Tony Hsieh of Zappos, Yvon Chouinard of
Patagonia, Keith Weed of Unilever, Alex Bogusky of Common, NBA superstar
Shaquille O'Neal, Dara O'Rourke of GoodGuide, B. Bonin Bough of Pepsi
and Time humor columnist Joel Stein.
Companies participating in the film are emblematic and passionate on the
movement it depicts. As Unilever Chief Marketing Officer Keith Weed said
in the film, "In the digital world, a brand is judged by what it says
but more importantly by what it does. Advertising can introduce a brand
to new consumers but ultimately a brand is judged by how it acts."
In the year leading up to the release, the producers screened the film
in nearly a dozen cities, including San Francisco, New York City,
Toronto, London and Las Vegas. Among other accolades, The Naked Brand
was awarded "Best Documentary" at the Social Media Film Festival in 2012.
About Questus
Questus is a revolutionary advertising agency that believes that
interruptive ad messages are no longer sufficient for building a
world-class brand. Questus instead pushes its clients to focus more
creating immersive experiences. This approach has helped the company win
iMedia's prestigious Agency of the Year and Small Agency of the Year
awards and to continue to create groundbreaking results for clients
including General Mills, Capital One (News - Alert), Suzuki, Universal and The NFL.
Questus has offices in San Francisco, New York and Brea.

©2006 Michael Palin (P)2006 Orion Publishing Group Ltd.
I listened to halfway to hollywood first and immediately bought this as i wanted to know more about the early years of python. I'm old enough to have been around when Python was born although I can't recite the parrot sketch or any others. Palin is a great story telller it was fascinating to re live the 70's through his eyes knowing what we know now about his career and those of his fellow Python's
"An Interesting read."
I bought this book as Python fan and I wasn't disappointed. It gives great insights into the feelings of the group at the height of their success and all from the viewpoint of the quiet python. The fact that Michael Palin narrates himself only adds to the enjoyment.
A must read for any Python fan. Not to be missed.
"takes yer back!"
I have spent several enjoyable afternoons laying on the conservatory sofa listening to Michael Pailin's selected readings from his diary. Whilst I was never a big Monty Python fan, I nonetheless very much enjoyed listening to Palin's recollections, read in his relaxed manner, recalling a very memorable era for all of us aged around 60. Have just downloaded the next installment and hope it is as good.
"This might seem ridiculous but..."
An audiobook diary for me is strangely dissatisfying. Much as I love Michael Palin, this book I found rather dull. It tells the story of the rise and fall of Python - and with it the well being and mental state of the protagonists - but in diary format offers no particular insight or depth. A typical days entry is in truth fairly dull, as I suppose the life of a writer and performer must be.
I loved it! A great read and will be sorely missed on my daily commute!
"Always an enjoyable performance"
Micky P had the knack of taking you places you have never been in decades you were never born in. I'm a little disappointed that there was not enough about his home life or the financial side Inc tax and costs that the trappings of being a python brings. Overall, it's enjoyable, interesting and insightful. I'm looking forward to the Hollywood years next.
"Excellent book!"
i really enjoyed it all. I loved hearing all the detail from his diary and of many places I know in London.
"monty python at its best"
A very good account of the hard work that went into the making of the best years of monty python
"Surprisingly dull"
Michael Palin is adorable, but does not spill any beans. These diaries are too safe and innocuous to be of interest.
"Palin reads out his diary for a big paycheck.."
Not really, Michael sounds bored with his own material, I always equate Palin with the enthusiastic persona that he displays in his Travel Shows, that Michael is not evident here.
When he meets the cast of Star Wars Back in the 76' His description of Harrison Ford is rather good..
Well It has to be Michael, Just sad he sounded so Deadpan...
Only if you are an extreme Python Fan. Some parts were interesting, but he just reads out of his Diary with a very uninterested delivery. It makes the whole experience oddly joyless.
Rather like listening to a favorite uncle complaining about his depression.
One for people who need to listen to every single detail that you never knew already about this famous comedy troupe.
"Silly is the word."
Short, terse, but enjoyable odyssey through the life of Michael Palin; who just happened to be one of the core members of a silly group of brits which changed the course of comedy.
Silly is the word. Palin's the name.

February 8, 2010
So sorry I've been so M.I.A. lately. I've been terribly busy with school and work, and frankly just have not had the time to blog. I sincerely hope that you will forgive me.
Love always,
Anyways, this past weekend I spent my time with my nose stuck in Pride and Prejudice, drinking LOTS of coffee, and doing office work for my parents.
Sunday was a special day though and I was able to go to my favorite chain coffee shop (Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf) and get a bit more homework done, all while enjoying a nice iced coffee (they use espresso shots for their iced coffee so it was actually an iced americano). After Scott got off of work (early too!) we went to Whole Foods to go shopping for picnic food (we're having a picnic tomorrow during my lunch break at school). After roaming around the beautiful aisles of Whole Foods for awhile, we ended up decided to leave and go to Cafe Luna for GIANT quessadillas with guacamole and sour cream, and then going to Sprouts afterwards to make our purchases.
Today I had a Media Law test first this morning, and ended up acing it by the way. After I got done with my test I got an iced americano and camped out at the Starbucks on my campus for a little internet pursuing, and information gathering for an article I just finished writing. In case anyone is wondering, the article I finished is a pre-review of a screening of "Dear Jack" that is happening at my school (Arizona State University) on Wednesday.
For those of you who haven't heard, "Dear Jack" is a documentary about Andrew McMahon, singer of Jack's Mannequin and Something Corporate, and follows him from the day he was diagnosed with leukemia in 2005, through his process of treatment, and ultimately ends with him being in full recover. Andrew has been a long-time hero of mine, and I highly suggest that everyone check out "Dear Jack" and also look at the Dear Jack Foundation website, dedicated to helping raising funds and spreading awareness of the fight against leukemia. The website can be found at: http://www.dearjackfoundation.com/
Tomorrow, as mentioned before, Scott is coming down to see me on my lunch break from school and we are going to have a cute picnic in the park. Last Thursday I saw a group of really cute kids having a picnic in the beautiful green grass that covers the park across the street from my school, and seriously felt inspired to have a picnic of my own. Pictures to come after the picnic!
On a side note, yesterday I watched Whip It for the first time and loved it! Ellen Page had such a great personality in the film, and I love that Landon Pigg played her love interest. Landon is the one who sings that song "Falling in love at a coffee shop." Has anyone seen the video for that song? It's so cute! Look:
Ok, time to finish packing our picnic lunch and read more of Pride and Prejudice.
I've missed you all! Look forward to more posts much sooner!
-Chels xoxo

By Rabbi Nachman Seltzer
The Torah world had been torn asunder by violent war across the European continent. Millions of Jews, among them thousands of tremendous talmidei chachamim, were cut down in the prime of youth. In the aftermath of the terrible destruction, the shattered and devastated Jewish nation began the unimaginable, laborious, and near-impossible project of rebuilding. In the blood-soaked lands of Europe few saw the ability to reestablish their lives. In places like Poland and much of central Europe, the killings continued even after the war was over, with pogroms continuing well into 1946 and 1947. In the lands occupied by Russia there was no hope for renewal, as Yiddishkeit was banned and a ruthless, ice-cold atheism was the official religion of the regime.
Desperate tear-filled eyes turned to Palestine and the United States, places of primary refuge for tens and hundreds of thousands, and slowly but inexorably, the postwar exoduses began. Amidst this landscape those Jews whose bitachon kept them anchored to Torah's eternals ideals faced a despair of their own. In Palestine, secular Zionism was the rule of the day, and in the United States the general American attitude towards Torah study was mostly dismissive. Where would the great yeshivos rebuild? Would the words that we utter each day of "ki heim chayeinu–that Torah is our life" have a place in the new post-Holocaust world?
Public opinion was clear–Torah study had been fine for Europe, for those in the shtetl and in the dark cities of Europe. In America, people went to work and made money. They looked ahead and built a future for their children. Who had time for ancient books? Yes, there could a role for rabbis, teachers, shochtim, and a handful of scholars, but for the general community, Americanization called for "adapting to newer times"–and those times did not include Torah. Better to secure a good education, get a good job, adapt, and get by. The new age would be more accepting and the soil of America a hospitable one.
Rav Aharon, unimpressed with such sentiments, countered this attitude by building what would, many years after his passing, become the largest yeshiva on American soil–Beth Medrash Govoha, or, as it is popularly known around the world, "Lakewood." Unfazed by opposition or lack of funds, Rav Aharon went about transforming a sleepy resort town into a true center for Torah, one that would serve as the heart for the entire U.S.A. And that should have been the end of the story.
Except that it wasn't. His opening of a yeshiva was only the beginning.
– – –
As a venerated and accepted leader of American Jewry, Rav Aharon Kotler could have been forgiven for focusing on his yeshiva and perhaps devoting some time to the rest of American Jewry. But as the great manhig and gadol who was equally honored and revered on both sides of the ocean, he never even considered the possibility. Instead, the rosh yeshiva traveled to Eretz Yisrael and was constantly and consistently in the forefront of every important Israeli issue as well.
Here, too, there were priorities. And the slot of priority number one was occupied by a vital education network named Chinuch Atzmai. Who would educate the children of those refugees who struggled and managed to reach the Holy Land? Would their education be left to the hands and minds of secularists for whom Jewish nationalism was the sole answer and whose idea of religion left much to be desired?
Whereas the ben Torah in America had to struggle with a generation whose sole desire for their children was that they become doctors or other professionals, in Eretz Yisrael, the sheer animosity towards religion was extremely powerful and sinister (much more so than in the United States) and learning in a yeshiva meant fighting not only the establishment but the government as well. Many tears were shed over the Sochnut (Jewish Agency) and the Israeli government's efforts to rush groups of religious young boys fresh off the plane from Yemen or Morocco to completely secular kibbutzim in the hope of turning them into secular members of Israeli society.
Chinuch Atzmai was founded to fight the trend and provide an alternative.
It did. And Rav Aharon took on this fight as his own–as if his own personal survival and health was as stake. He faced opposition not only from the left but also from the right. There were many who said, "We cannot create a Torah educational system that takes one penny from a treif ideology." They proposed an approach that would entail no relationship with the government. To Rav Aharon this was the same hatzalas nefashos that he had just been engaged in during the Vaad Hatzolah years. Hundreds of thousands of young souls were once again at stake, and there was not a moment to waste; they needed the creation of a massive chinuch system. It was Rav Aharon who made the call that Chinuch Atzmai be established, and the result was that for the rest of his life he carried the responsibility for it as if it were his own.

Though having given all his energy towards saving Yidden during the war, the rosh yeshiva did not claim fatigue or the more than justified reward of retiring to Lakewood to deliver shiurim in a tranquil setting. There was no time for that. Another, equally important, war had to be fought.
Evening after evening found a group of America's pre-eminent gedolim, consisting of Rav Aharon, Rav Moshe, Rav Yaakov, and the Kopyshnitzer and Novominsker Rebbes, going collecting door-to-door for Chinuch Atzmai. One would imagine that opening one's front door to be greeted by the glowing visage of Rav Aharon or Rav Moshe would have been sufficient to convince people to contribute to the cause, but unfortunately this was not the case. The majority of America had never heard of Chinuch Atzmai and the contributions received were shockingly small.
The gedolim did not allow this setback to convince them to give up the plan. No, Chinuch Atzmai was too important. Instead they redoubled their efforts and fought for the Israeli institution as if it were their very own. Which, truth be told, it was.
Reb Yankel Weisberg once lamented that BMG was five months behind in its financial obligations because–and here I quote the rosh yeshiva, "What should I do? I feel that Chinuch Atzmai and its 40,000 students are more important for K'lal Yisrael than my own yeshiva."
Not enough that Rav Aharon should be fighting the prevailing and accepted attitudes in America while creating a network of young learned men who would eventually take up the battle to stem the tide of assimilation all across the United States.
Not enough that the rosh yeshiva was delivering numerous shiurim and authoring chidushim while surviving without sleep for longer periods of time than most mortals are capable of.
Not enough that every important issue facing K'lal Yisrael came across Rav Aharon's desk in his role as head of the Moetzes HaTorah, Agudas Yisroel, and Torah U'mesorah.
All this was not enough. The rosh yeshiva had to save the youth of Eretz Yisrael as well. The sole remnants of ancient and proud communities in Russia, Poland, Bulgaria, Lithuania, Hungary, Romania, France, Italy, Iraq, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, Greece, and more and more–these young shivrei Luchos needed Torah education. It Instead of merely serving as rosh yeshiva in Lakewood, Rav Aharon operated in the dual position of rosh yeshiva to both BMG and Chinuch Atzmai, many times going so far as to favor the younger son above the older one.
Lakewood was an army ready to be sent on missions and the rosh yeshiva didn't hesitate to send them off with high expectations. Come bein hazemanim, Rav Aharon sent the boys out collecting–except instead of having them collect for BMG, he instructed them in a classic example of brothers assisting one another, to raise funds for Chinuch Atzmai!
– – –
Rav Aharon had a unique ability to unite different elements with the power of his sincerity and truthful personality. Thus it would come as no surprise to anyone when Rav Soloveitchik of Yeshivas Rabeinu Yitzchok Elchonon served as keynote speaker at the first Chinuch Atzmai dinner in the United States. While Rav Soleveitchik's own inclination may have been to support the Mamlachti Dati stream of Israeli education, Rav Aharon recognized the critical importance of securing Rav Soloveitchik's support for Chinuch Atzmai, and in this Rav Aharon was successful. There was but one issue here: to save the children of Eretz Yisrael. To teach them Torah. That was the important thing. Everything else was secondary and fell to the wayside.
Rav Aharon spent his life caring for Chinuch Atzmai like a devoted father, and his unwavering devotion lasted to the end of his life. While in the hospital for his final stay, Rav Aharon convinced Mr. Stephen Klein, who in 1946 Rav Aharon had sent to Europe to lead the Vaad Hatzolah post-war effort, to undertake the task of supporting Chinuch Atzmai, entreating him to "halt on dem Chinuch Atzmoi!" After Mr. Klein, moved by Rav Aharon's inner strength, courage, and concern for Torah study, bade him farewell and left the room, Rav Aharon summoned him back and reminded him that the job of the baalebatim was to assist with the technical details–financial backing and organizational work, and that the chinuch issues were to be decided by the Gedolei HaTorah.
How ironic that the rosh yeshiva's final moments should be occupied by Chinuch Atzmai–yet how appropriate as well.
– – –
The financial burden of running Chinuch Atzmai was so steep that there were times when even its undefeatable staff wanted to cut back. Once again, Rav Aharon, though standing at the helm of so many organizations and with such an incredible amount of responsibility on his shoulders, refused to even consider it. "Hashem has plenty of money," he told the devoted staff of Chinuch Atzmai, "We need to work harder so we'll be zoche to get it from Him."
They worked harder. And Chinuch Atzmai succeeded and flourished while changing the face of Eretz Yisrael as its thousands of students grew up, married, and raised Torahdige homes around the country.
Chinuch Atzmai wasn't his job, but the rosh yeshiva made it his job, his responsibility. Because, you see, he was a man of action–and that's what men of action do. They act. v

A generator for creating static sites. Helps you harness the power of your favorite tools: Jade or Nunjucks, Gulp, ES6/2015, and much more!
This generator utilizes Yeoman and Gulp to scaffold out projects, automate tasks, and manage front-end dependencies respectively. If this is your first time here, it is recommended you read about these tools before proceeding.
There are a few dependencies that this project relies on:
NOTE: For OSX users You may have some issues compiling code during installation of packages. Please install Xcode from App Store first. After Xcode is installed, open Xcode and go to Preferences -> Download -> Command Line Tools -> Install to install command line tools.
NOTE: For Windows users You may have some issues compiling BrowserSync during installation of packages. Please go to http://www.browsersync.io/docs/#windows-users for more information on how to get all the needed dependencies.
Check to see if you already have Node installed. Do this by bringing up a terminal/command prompt and type
node -v. If the response shows a version at or above
v0.12.x, you are all set and can proceed to installing Yeoman, Gulp, and Bower. If you see an error and/or your version is too low, navigate to the Node.js website and install Node from there.
Once you have Node installed, make sure you have these tools by opening up a terminal/command prompt and entering following commands:
yo --version
|at or above
gulp -v
gulp-cli at or above
If you get any errors and/or you're version(s) are too low, you should run
npm install -g yo gulp.
This will install both tools and update them to their latest versions.
Now that you have all the needed dependencies, you can install this generator with the following command:
npm install -g generator-yeogurt
That completes installation! So at this point you should have all the needed tools to start working Yeogurt.
When starting a new project, you will want to: open up a terminal/command prompt, make a new directory, and navigate into it.
mkdir my-new-project && cd $_
then, run the Yeogurt generator.
yo yeogurt
Optionally, you can skip the automated installation of npm packages by passing in
--skip-install. The main reason to use this is if you have spotty/no internet connection, but would still like to generate your project.
yo yeogurt --skip-install
Follow all the prompts and choose what suits you most for the project you would like to create. When you finish with all of the prompts, your project scaffold will be created and all dependencies will be installed.
NOTE: If you used the
--skip-installoption, no dependencies will have been installed and your gulp tasks will NOT work. You will need to run
npm installin your project's root directory in order to get started running automated tasks
Once everything is installed, you will see a project structure like below:
├── gulp/ # Folder for gulp tasks
├── build/ # Folder for production build output
├── tmp/ # Folder for temporary development output
├── src
| ├── _data # JSON/YAML files that add data to templates
| ├── _images # Images
| ├── _layouts # Layout structure for app
| | └── base.jade
| ├── _modules # Reusable modules
| | └── link
| | ├── __tests__
| | | └── link.spec.js
| | ├── link.jade
| | ├── link.js
| | └── link.scss
| ├── _styles # Global styles, mixins, variables, etc
| | └── main.scss # Main stylesheet (import everything to this file)
| ├── _scripts # Global scripts, base classes, etc
| | └── main.js # Main bootstrap file
| ├── fonts # Fonts (Example, will not be generated)
| ├── index.jade # Homepage template
| ├── favicon.ico
| └── robots.txt
├── gulpfile.js # Gulp task configuration
└── package.json # Dependencies and site/folder configuration
Congratulations! You should now have successfully created a Yeogurt project and are ready to start building out your site/app.
Now you can run the following gulp tasks:
gulp serve for previewing your site/app on a development server.
gulp serve --production for previewing a production version of your site/app.
gulp for testing and building a development version of your site.
gulp --production same as
gulp but builds a production version of your site.
gulp test for linting your scripts and running unit tests.
You can learn more about what tasks are available in the gulp tasks section.
In the
package.json file, within the root of the generated project, you have the ability to configure some project settings:
|Host URL of the development server (browserSync)
|Port of the development server (browserSync)
|Root directory of your site
|Source folder for all development files (default location for page subgenerator)
|Build folder where production version of site is generated
|Temporary folder where development server files are generated
Folders relative to the
source configured directory
|Data folder where JSON/YAML files are loaded into templates
|Scripts folder where all
.js files are located (main.js must be in root of this folder)
|Styles folder where all stylesheet files are located (main stylesheet must be in root of this folder)
|Modules folder where all reusable code should live (default location for module subgenerator)
|Layouts folder where all layout templates should live (default location for layout subgenerator)
|Images folder where all
.png, jpeg, jpg, svg, gif files should live
Files that should be searched for and created by build tasks.
File strings and Globs can be used to process desired file(s).
main**.js will process all files that start with
main and end with
|Tells browserify what file(s) to bundle and generate at your desired build target
|Tells your stylesheet preprocessor (Sass, Less, etc) what file(s) to generate at your desired build target
Default configuration:
"//": "CUSTOM CONFIGURATION","config":
gulp --production
gulp test and builds out an optimized site through compilation of preprocessors (Jade, Sass, etc), minification of CSS and HTML, uglification of Javascript, and optimization of images.
gulp serve
Starts up a development server that watches files and automatically reloads them to the browser when a change is detected.
Extra Task Target(s)
gulp serve --production
|starts up a server that loads a production version of the site
gulp serve --open
|starts up a server and opens it within your default browser
gulp test
Runs ESLint and Karma to lint and run JavaScript tests, respectively.
Extra Task Target(s)
gulp test --watch
gulp test, but also watches test files and auto runs tests when changes are detected.
NOTE: test:watch is only available if you chose to unit test your javascript
Adding the
--debug option to any gulp task displays extra debugging information (ex. data being loaded into your templates)
Note: Generators need to be run from the root directory of your app.
Creates a new page.
$ yo yeogurt:page contact
$ yo yeogurt:page contact --layout=one-col
// Page that extends from 'src/_layouts/one-col'
NOTE: Pages will default to extending from
--layoutis not provided
Creates a new module.
$ yo yeogurt:module header
This is a great way to create modules that adhere to atomic design
$ yo yeogurt:module link --atomic=atom
NOTE: Possible
--atomicoptions: atom, molecule, organism
$ yo yeogurt:module some/cool/link --atomic=atom
Creates a new layout.
$ yo yeogurt:layout one-col
$ yo yeogurt:page contact --layout=one-col
// Layout that extends from 'src/_layouts/one-col'
NOTE: Layouts will default to extending from 'src/_layouts/base'
Odds are that you will need to add some third party libraries to your project at some point. To do so, it is strongly recommended that you install them using NPM:
npm install [package name] --save
Once installed, you can access scripts within your JavaScript files like so:
// Example using jquery // ES5var $ = ; ; // ES6/2015; ;
You can also access stylesheets by importing them to you chosen preprocessor like so:
Using SCSS:
Using SASS:
Using LESS:
// LESS 'node_modules/bootstrap/less/bootstrap'; // CSS inline 'node_modules/normalize.css/normalize.css';
Using Stylus:
// Stylus@import '../../node_modules/bootstrap-stylus/bootstrap'; // CSS import@import '../../node_modules/normalize.css/normalize.css';
Sometimes you need to use libraries that attach themselves to the window object and don't work with browserify very well. In this case, you can use a transform called browserify-shim.
Step 1: Install browserify-shim transform for browserify
Browserify doesn't support Non-CommonJS scripts out of the box (jQuery plugins, window.* libs, etc), but you can install a transform called 'browserify-shim' to remedy that:
npm install --save-dev browserify-shim
Step 2: Install desired npm package
Now you can install your desired npm package:
// Example: jQuery plugin
npm install --save slick-carousel
Step 3: Setup browserify-shim
Add the following to your
package.json file:
"browserify": ,"browser": ,"browserify-shim": ,
Note: slick-carousel requires jQuery, hence the
"depends": "jquery:$"
Step 4: Import file to your project
Now you can include your desired module/lib within your
src/_scripts/main.js file:
// ES5; // ES6; ... ; // Activates slick plugin
If you can't find your desired package on the NPM registry and you wish to use Bower to manage some front-end packages, you can accomplish this in a couple steps:
Step 1: Install Bower
npm install -g bower
Step2: Create
Create a
bower.json file within the root directory of your generated project
with the following contents:
Note: Be sure to update the name, version, author, etc info to your liking
Step 3: Install package
bower install --save [package name]
Step 4: Use package
If the package is CSS, Sass, Less, or Stylus, you can follow the instructions in the Stylesheets section of this README
If you want to load global data into your templates (jade or nunjucks), you can add JSON/YAML files in
src/_data folder.
For example, add menu.json in
src/_data folder:
And it will be added to the
site.data object so it can be used like so:
div h1= site.data.menu.name
Which outputs to:
Using data files, you can build a nice dashboard for your pages and modules. You can add an example dashboard to your Yeogurt project by going to this Dashboard Example repository and following the instructions in the README.md.
NOTE: Example dashboard only works with Jade currently
If you plan on using SVN instead of Git, you will want to setup some default ignores to make sure you aren't committing extraneous/generated files to your codebase. To do this, adhere to the following steps:
Create a new file in the root of your project named
.svnignore and give it the following contents:
Run the following command:
svn propset svn:ignore -R -F .svnignore .
This command will go through your newly created
.svnignore file and set the specified files/folders to be ignored by SVN.
jQuery is not defined
When adding third-party scripts, you should always import them to your
_scripts/main.js file (See Adding third-party libraries).
However, if you shimmed the library/package to be global (ex: window.jQuery), ESLint will not know that your new library is defined globally. Thus, giving you errors.
To remedy this situation, all you need to do is open up your
.eslintrc file in the root directory of you project, and add your new library name to the
global: property array:
// .eslintrc
globals: {
jQuery: true // Tells ESLint that jQuery is defined globally
Anyone and everyone is welcome to contribute. Please take a moment to review the guidelines for contributing.
To run unit tests, you have a couple options:
npm test: This will run all unit tests with Mocha and send the report to coveralls.io to be processed. (Don't run this for local testing)
npm run localtest: This is the same as
npm test only it doesn't send anything to coveralls.io. (Use this for local testing)
npm run localtest-report: This is the same as
npm run localtest, but it also generates an HTML report of the current code coverage.

This happened...
Maxwell was trying to explain to me that there is a commercial on TV with a catchy tongue twister. This gave me the perfect platform for me to enthusiastically recite "Two all beef patties, special sauce, lettuce, cheese, pickles, onions on a sesame seed bun." (For those of you living the Amish lifestyle that's the 1976 McDonald jingle for the Big Mac.)
MAXWELL: (Flabbergasted) That was on TV when you were a boy?
MOMMY WITH A PENIS: You don't have to make it sound like that was so long ago. Dinosaurs weren't roaming the earth. But, yes, that was on TV.
MAXWELL (With mounting frustration): How do you remember that when you can't even remember that I wanted sushi after school today?
Point taken.
The humorous musings of a gay man who is the mommy of two small whipper snappers, and wife of an ex-drag queen. No wonder I have a complex. Mommy needs a cocktail!

"Operations" agenciesEdit
With 4 more Starfleet agencies titled "Operations" identified (see: Administrative Operations), and the 5 already listed on the Starfleet Operations article at the bottom, maybe we can consolidate them all under Starfleet Operations as sub-divisions (or a similar term). Doesn't seem like a big stretch to me in connecting them all together, but of course, no canon evidence exists to support this, other than Admiral Leyton's (as Chief of Starfleet Operations) personnel assignment logs listing the 4 "new" agencies, which may or may not imply his authority over them. - Intricated 14:50, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Just wondering, was Kirk ever called Starfleet Chief of Operations onscreen or does this just come from the Roddenberry novelization and behind-the-scenes material? Kennelly 18:21, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
- Kirk refers to himself as Chief of Starfleet Operations when talking to Scotty as they travel to the Enterprise in the shuttle pod. Scotty mentions having an "untried captain" and Kirk responds that "Two and a half years as Chief of Starfleet Operations may have made me a little stale, but I wouldn't consider myself 'untried.'"

Launching Tweets into the Atmosphere
For the Twitterati, everything's up in the air! MC Hammer sailed above the rain, Laura Rich and Kourosh Karimkhany tweeted about their startup launches, and Michael Gartenberg saw Google's cloudy future:
Twentysomething CNET reporter Caroline McCarthy had flashbacks to the '90s, even though she's too young to remember them.
Recessionista Laura Rich prayed for years of a crappy economy.
Tech analyst Michael Gartenberg didn't even try to have his Google conspiracy theory make sense.
Ex-Condé Nasty Kourosh Karimkhany, also a Gawker Media alumnus, plotted the launch of his Web empire with venture capitalist Fred Wilson.
MC Hammer got on a plane because it was raining, or something.
Anyone else's tweets we should keep an eye on? Send us more Twitter usernames, please.

Apple (AAPL) fans … I've got some good news and some bad news … Which do you want first?
Okay, the bad news …
Apple has agreed to recall a number of iPod Nanos it sold in South Korea last year. While Apple had been swapping out defective (overheating) batteries in units, they have now agreed to replace any of the affected iPod Nanos.
Now for the good news …
Apple's agreement to replace the iPod Nanos may signal movement on the iPhone to S. Korea front.
How does an iPod recall relate to iPhone? It could be just a coincidence, but the same tight knit group of bureaucrats who regulate gizmos in S. Korea, are also involved in the iPhone approval process. That process appears to have accelerated in recent months. Apple's recall is a show of goodwill and it may (pure speculation) also be a a quid-pro-quo (i.e. "Recall the iPods and we won't roadblock the iPhone network license") and remove hurdles in the iPhone approval process.
One early obstacle for Apple was S. Korea's mandatory WiPi protocol*, which caused many OEMs to forego the Korea market. Many speculated that Apple WiPi would be a non-starter for Apple. That was then … this is now. S. Korea telecom regulators have now agreed that WiPi will no longer be mandatory.
With the WiPi obstacle removed, Apple now appears to be moving forward with iPhone in South Korea. Apple's iPhone very recently received a regulatory approval from the Korea Communications Commission (KCC) Radio Research Laboratory. This is not a final approval, as more tests/approvals are necessary, but it is a key step.
Korea Times reports that "industry sources believe that the phones will be on the shelves by the end of the year, with an August release being a remote possibility."
Who gets the iPhone in S. Korea deal? Two carriers appear to be in the running – Korea Telecom and SK Telecom. This may not necessarily be an "exclusive" and both carriers might eventually wind up selling iPhone.
*WiPi "Wireless Internet Platform for Interoperability," is a software standard that the S. Korea mandated in 2005 for all mobile-phone makers planning to deliver Internet access on handsets. WiPi was a gating factor for many non-Korean handsets and in 2009 S. Korea made WiPi "optional."

When the PlayStation Portable launch line-up was announced last week, we saw Metal Gear Acid and we saw Twisted Metal: Head-On all scheduled for release at or near the time of the PSP's launch, but one of our most anticipated dabbles in metallurgy was curiously absent from the launch list. Archer Maclean's innovative puzzle game Mercury has been rumored for launch with PSP for some time (in fact, Maclean himself said that the European version of the game was done and had gone gold months back), yet the game was missing from SCEA's list.
Representatives from Ignition today were able to confirm for those eagerly awaiting this game that Mercury is still on track to meet its original release plans for shipment near the time of the PSP launch. The game has been approved by the ESRB, and has already begun its path through the SCEA approvals -- box art has been given the go-ahead, and the publisher is working towards getting the check-offs from SCE's Format QA.
We hope to be taking a deeper look at the game as soon as possible -- expect to be able to get your hands on this PSP blob of fun next month.
