Ohio corrections officials say Ariel Castro who held three women captive in his home for nearly a decade has committed suicide at a state prison facility.
Spokeswoman JoEllen Smith says 53-year-old Castro was found hanging in his cell around 9:20 p.m. Tuesday at the Correctional Reception Center in Orient. Prison medical staff performed CPR before Castro was transported to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Adios mofo.
No tears shed for him.
Already posted here: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3062303/posts
But I thought he said it was all peace and love in that house?
Glad to see him gone, but I sure wish he'd have suffered for mnay years.
saves money.
leftist Unions mourn.
the crowd cheer.
Thank you Ariel, you just save the state a tremendous amount of cash.
I guess he wasn't a fan of being captive.
Welp he save Ohio taxpayers a few bucks.
Tweeter is news?
I still don't think he was the only one who knew
Darn the luck.
Can we make sure McCain sees this report?
Perhaps he'll get the same idea.
Just saw this on Fox News.
Enjoy Hell, Mr. Castro.
Sure. Just put it on his iPhone.
"I knew something was wrong when a little pretty white girl ran into a black man's arms"
Maybe that's what he was worried about? Ending up in a black man's arms.....
Kudos to whoever gave him the rope.
across ten years, i totally think that's true. some others knew.
Agreed. A woman said she saw the kids playing in his yard long before the break out. And when exactly was this man driving a school bus, hmmmm?
Good! A great savings of taxpayer money and no interference later with the unfortunate child he forced on an innocent girl.
I wholly support assisted suicide in cases like this.
If he is so insane that he does not know that he is evil then the only merciful thing to do is to take him outside and shoot him.
OTOH, if he is sane then it would be unbearable for any sane man to live with the guilt of his crimes so the only merciful thing to do is to take him outside and shoot him.
I like that Hasan was dry shaved today too.
Let us hope he has enough strength in his upper body to follow suit.
Bloody 'ell. Can we please get all these threads collected into one before it turns into a total cluster-(o)bama? Someone please link to Drudge, WND, or even FoxNews and tie everything into one link before the bandwidth brings everyone down!
So long as they are different sources WTF cares?

Funny nothing on Drudge yet.
FoxNews has broadcast it twice now.
They should have left him the razor with an urging to hurry and meet Allah.
I wonder if the gubmint (federal or Ohio state) really did this. Not that I'm shedding any tears for this animal, but I don't trust any local, state or federal gubmint any longer, especially the federal gubmint. I would THINK that any material (rope, belt, etc) that could be made into a hangman's noose would have been removed from Ari Castro's possession. But on the good side, at least we saved a $3-400,000 a yr (or more) that the taxpayer won't have to pay for the next 30-40 years to keep this maggot alive. I wish the same thing could be arranged for all the current prisoners on death row, especially the Ft Hood killer Major Hassan.
Those girls had more balls than he did.
It may happen.
The risks of him rushing a guard are low.
Leavenworth Guards break people.
The Fun part with Hasan would be the bit where he thinks he is the mastermind.
Leavenworth guards have psychological training.
"Those girls had more balls than he did."
That is the complete and total truth.
I don't rejoice in any death (flame suit on) and I hope the victims don't take any guilt from Castro's act. That is the residual affect from suicide, if that's what it was. Lord knows they will have plenty to deal with as it is.
These ladies "out toughed him".
An end too good for such an evil person.
Thank you.
He probably offed himself, rather than face what was eventually going to be done to him by the other inmates. They let such types know what's coming.
This "man" was nothing but a coward. He kidnapped and abused three women for 10 years. He felt big and powerful then. However, when he was put in captivity, captivity much less severe than his victims as he wasn't being raped and beaten, he couldn't even take it for a month. I would hate to have been him when he stood before God.
He was not a very nice person.
And he was "just getting his life turned around."

- CULTURUNNERS: Artist expedition / Low Gallery / San Diego +
Against the backdrop of the US Presidential election, Culturunners launches its 2016 'Campaign Trail' with a series of pop-up events in San Diego, Tijuana and along the US / Mexican Border. Culturunners, a cross-cultural artistic expedition in search of common concerns and interconnected histories between the United States and Middle East, aims to engage audiences in alternative narratives and common concerns between America and the Middle East at this crucial time. An exhibition entitled "Borderland" will run at San Diego's Low Gallery from 29th January – 10 February and include work by leading artists from Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Syria, South Africa and Palestine alongside photographs by Culturunners resident photographer, John Mireles. The exhibition will feature "Borderland" themed prints, films and photography by Edge of Arabia artists including Ahmed Mater, Khaled Jarrar, Jenine Sharabi, Foundland, Yazan Khalili, Rashed Al Shashai, Shaweesh and Faisal Samra. From 1st February, Culturunners and Khaled Jarrar will travel to Tijuana and along the US/Mexican border to El Paso, TX. Jarrar, who is in the US for the first time, is embarking on this journey specifically to develop a project called No Man's Land which explores the politics of border control and human mobility across physical and ideological frontiers. While in Mexico, Jarrar will host a pop-up event at La Caja Galleria in Tijuana which aims to connect with the local community and explore comparisons and common concerns between Tijuana and his home city of Ramallah, Palestine. In 2015 Jarrar was famously barred from entering the United States to attend a landmark exhibition featuring his work at the New Museum in New York. Jarrar was stopped by Israeli Security Forces and prevented from leaving his native Palestine in order to attend the event. He managed to join a panel discussion at the Museum only via Skype and promised to return to the US when allowed.
- Home Ground: Contemporary Art from the Barjeel Art Foundation / Aga Khan Museum / Toronto +
Pushing boundaries, testing limits: this powerful exhibition from the Barjeel Art Foundation, Sharjah, UAE runs the gamut from photography to installation, sculpture to painting, and more. Experience the work of 12 Arab artists who examine how private life is shaped by current political events. Featuring some of the most exciting contemporary art coming out of the Middle East and North Africa today, the works in this exhibition are united by an awareness of struggle — the struggle to cross geopolitical borders; the struggle to forge an identity in an ever-shifting world; and the inherent struggle of being an artist. Home Ground: Contemporary Art from the Barjeel Art Foundation is remarkable in its variety. Khaled Jarrar's Volleyball offers a poetic response to conversations held with children playing by the separation wall near Ramallah. Manal al-Dowayan's ephemeral installation Suspended Together addresses the position of women in contemporary Saudi society. Adel Abidin's video Memorial explores how ordinary life is violated by war. Raafat Ishak's Responses to an Immigration Request from One Hundred and Ninety-Four Governments serves as a witty but poignant testament to challenges experienced by many immigrants and to the creativity of artists worldwide. These and other works in Home Ground: Contemporary Art from the Barjeel Art Foundation comment on the impact of crossing borders, both political and personal, in the 21st century.
- Sans tambour ni trompette - Cent ans de guerres (Chap.2) / Commissariat : Julie Crenn / Artothèque de Caen / Caen +
Conçue comme une réponse au centenaire de la Première Guerre Mondiale, Sans tambour ni trompette - Cent ans de guerres permet de revenir sur la Guerre des Tranchées, mais surtout sur les guerres qui l'ont suivie. Aux quatre coins du monde, les conflits n'ont pas cessé, l'Homme s'obstine au combat. Si des réflexions autour de la mémoire, de la commémoration ou encore de l'Histoire sont inhérentes à la démarche de certains des artistes invités, c'est surtout un regard sur une époque qui est proposé : celle des guerres contemporaines. Artistes : Giulia Andreani, Kader Attia, Raphaël Denis, Morgane Denzler, Damien Deroubaix, Harald Fernagu, Khaled Jarrar, Léa Le Bricomte, Claude Lévêque, Régis Perray, Delphine Pouillé, Sophie Ristelhueber, Martha Rosler, Erwan Venn - See more at: http://www.artotheque-caen.net/#sthash.PhicptCR.dpuf

- That thou canst not stir a flower without troubling a star / Galerie Bartschi / Geneva
- Too Early - Too late - Middle East and Modernity / curated by Marco Scotini / Pinacoteca Nazionale / Bologna +
From 22 January to 12 April 2015, the exhibition will be hosted by Bologna's Pinacoteca Nazionale in the area dedicated to temporary exhibitions, and in some of the museum's display rooms, to remind today's visitors of the fact that Bologna has a centuries-old relationship with the Middle East. In fact, in 1312 Council of Vienne decided to establish courses of Arabic, Hebrew and Syriac language in certain European Universities including that of Bologna, which was already considered to be a city open to the "other" cultures recognized and fully respected by the Christian West. In the rooms of the Pinacoteca dedicated to the Italian fourteenth century, the works of art displayed will be accompanied on the one hand by precious ancient Islamic art exhibits and pieces belonging to the Italian tradition, and on the other hand by contemporary paintings and sculptures. This is not the only historical reference: in a certain sense the exhibition recreates the relationship between the West and the Islamic world from 1789 onwards, when Napoleon Bonaparte landed in Egypt. Thus, documents from that era and archive materials will be alternated with works of art, photographs and films, following the fundamental steps in this gradual acquisition of awareness concerning the Middle East. The curator has chosen to base this exhibition on comparison, given that some of the participating artists are Europeans who have always been interested in the complex relationship between Western and Eastern cultures. The choice of title, taken from the 1981 film of Jean-Marie Straub and Danièle Huillet, Trop tôt/Trop tard, also relates to the idea of comparison. A true masterpiece of the history of cinema, this film focuses on the French and Egyptian revolutions of 1789 and 1952, expressing through a temporal metaphor the difficulties of truly understanding the reasons behind what is foreign to us. As on that occasion, the public will be able to ascertain the far-sighted cultural sensitivity of our collectors, who were able to recognize and promote the value of these artists even before it was confirmed by the international art scene and became a purely economic "investment". The collections Amongst others: Collezione AgiVerona, Collezione Alessandra & Paolo Barillari, Collezione Erminia Di Biase, Collezione Giuseppe Iannaccone, Collezione La Gaia, Collezione Antonio Martino, Collezione Giancarlo & Danna Olgiati, Collezione Daniela Palazzoli, Collezione Claudio e Mariagrazia Palmigiano, Collezione Enea Righi, Fondazione Fotografia Modena, Fondazione Giovanni Giuliani, Fondazione Nomas, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Fondazione Videoinsight.

- COSMOS / LIMITED AND LIMITLESS, EXISTENCE AND CO-EXISTENCE / Shanghai 21st Century Minsheng Art Museum / Shanghai / China +
The works presented in this exhibition explore how humans perceive their relationship with the natural world (natural sciences), their relationships with themselves (the humanities or anthropology) and their relationship with architecture. The exhibition includes Sissel Tolaas's olfactory research and the Zen-like emptiness of the study's final presentation as well as other reflections on natural and human environments—each of these suggesting the beginnings of a comprehensive awareness. Artists tend to classify themselves as "in-betweeners" rather than artists, and we can find this tendency in Ryoji Ikeda's work, "Radar," which converts visual mathematics and information into certain natural phenomena. Through an immersive experience and subtle methodology, the artist formulates a conjunctive gap between creative space and nature through visual spectacle and transmits this gap through sound and environment. By means of exhibition, "COSMOS" conducts a discourse on the overall correspondence between the individual and space, resources, nature and the self. In particular, encounters between individuals within the space have the potential bind or exclude the individual from the epistemic world. This is perhaps why we require an exhibition with multiple levels of interpretation when discussing the eternal topics of "existence" and "co-existence." Artists are not only able to share, project and meet with the audience through their works; they are also able to convey a spiritual, mental and physical experience to the audience. Humanity is inseparable from the real world and possesses an infinite imagination when it comes to possible worlds. Though we only rarely transcend the real world, this eternal moment of enlightenment may well serve as exercise for the body and mind.
- 4TH INTERNATIONAL CANAKKALE BIENNIAL / 'ONLY THE DEAD HAVE SEEN THE END OF WAR' (PLATO) / Merkez CANAKKALE +
4th International Canakkale Biennial has its conceptual framework structured upon '1914-1918-The Centenary of World War I' is to be held on 27 September – 2 November 2014 and welcomes 37 artists from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Slovenia, Russia, Serbia, Romania, Lebanon, Palestine, Armenia, USA, Italy, Greece, Ireland, UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Austria and Turkey to its main exhibition. International Canakkale Biennial, since its foundation in 2006, has been aiming various purposes: Firstly, to establish an international center, and hence, to transform the city of Canakkale into a meeting point for production, observation and presentation of creations of contemporary art where Mediterranean, European and Middle-Eastern cultures intersect; secondly, by inviting numerous artists and experts, to locate the city into the international network of communications, arts and culture of global biennial community; and lastly, to provide an open platform for professionals, artists and institutions to exchange their practices and and share expertise in collaboration. The arguments, interpretations and critics so far elaborated in considering the 100th year of 1st World War construct a favorably comprehensive conceptual framework for the International Canakkale Biennial. In the centenary of 2014, numerous projects and events are being held in those countries, which have participated in or effected by the war. International Canakkale Biennial anticipates a broad and an effective participation in cultural and artistic topics of global communication. Perceiving artistic and cultural creations as the most effective means of reflection and criticism since the beginning of 20th century, International Canakkale Biennial this year, aims at revaluating, elaborating and elucidating the ongoing political, social and cultural events and the impacts of war thereupon since 1914. Recognizing the fact that the city of Canakkale, with its historical, cultural and natural context considerably effected by 1st World War and its outcomes, having played a considerable role at the turn of our century, the relevant countries through their diplomatic representatives and cultural centers have not spared the due consideration to the biennial. The 4th International Canakkale Biennial provides an open communication and a collaboration platform for the international community and enables a comprehensive revaluation of the impacts of 1st World War and the 20th century at local, national and international levels on today's political configuration and the historical geography of the Ottoman Empire as well. The biennial has invited those artists and experts who are mostly prominent with their specific works of art interpreting the consequences of war and peace cycles and the following political, economical, social and cultural consequences in Europe, the Balkans, the Caucasia and in the Middle-East. The sensitivity, anticipation and subtlety within their works are not only focused on the conditions in their own countries, but also on the effects on other countries and societies as well; thus, all together, they accomplish an accurate body of a common visual memory and a valuable accumulation of images. We believe the presentation of those works shall create a substantial and a stimulating effect on the intellectual capacity of the younger generations. As for the facilities, the three floors of Dogtas building in city center shall serve as the main location for the 4th International Canakkale Biennial. As previously, the Biennial shall use the special buildings and venues of historical importance like Korfmann Library, old Armenian Church, Mahal Art Center and the storehouses in the vicinity. Along with paintings, photographs and video works of the artists, which have previously taken place in international exhibitions, their recent works specific to Canakkale Biennial will also be presented. Canakkale Biennial is financially sponsored by the Municipality of Canakkale and supported by the ongoing activities of related platforms such as Biennial Child, Biennial Young, "Disability-Accessibility-Inclusion" Programs, and the women's initiative "We are @ Biennial". All these teams will not only be supporting the main exhibition of the Biennial, but also act as a mediator to communicate the messages to the public through various outdoor activities. In the last week of the Biennial, A SOUL FOR EUROPE (www.asoulforeurope.eu), founded in 2004 in Berlin, will coordinate an international forum with the participation of prominent politicians and experts from Turkey and EU countries in October 25-27, 2014. The Biennial will also host a special project. Curated by A.S. Bruckstein Coruh / Taswir projects, "Shadow, Speak You Too [hester panim]" is an installation by Eva Beierheimer & Miriam Laussegger, and includes a series of graphic prints by Joseph Semah, "Placenta & Infinity" (1995).
- TO THE SQUARE 2 / Helsinki / Helsinki +
Curated by Ivor Stodolsky and Marita Muukkonen Commissioned by Checkpoint Helsinki as part of Helsinki Festival After the protest movements which broke out in capitals across the world from 2011 onward, we live in a period of regressive politics and at times violent repression. The question today is, what would it take for people to go TO THE SQUARE 2 – that is, to go to the streets again? Perhaps it requires new extremes of economic inequality? Or massive ecological catastrophes or raw racism? Or an infinitely bigger "big brother"? For where did it all come from, and where does it go — that revolutionary energy? Commissioning artists deeply involved in forms of resistance and movements "to the square", the TSQ2's curators have invited Egypt's famed and much-loved street-artist Ammar Abo Bakr (Luxor/Cairo); Núria Güell (Barcelona), joining the project in absentia (as usual) from Cuba, with interventions in our contemporary economic dis-logic; the renowned Palestinian artist Khaled Jarrar (Ramallah), whose new public intervention seeks 50 volunteers to match the 50 army-uniforms he will include in an installation; Vladan Jeremić & Rena Rädle (Belgrade), political and satirical artists extraordinaire, with Jeremić doubling as founding co-editor of the Art Leaks Gazette; Nikolay Oleynikov (Nizhny Novgorod/Moscow), whose mobile broadcast station "Radio Pravda" will roam the streets, squares and airwaves; the Berlin-based urban transformers Raumlabor; and the sincerely hilarious ZIP Group (Krasnodar) and its "wild constructivism" in the centre of Lasipalatsi Square. Accompanying the project, THE SQUARE Newspaper is designed by Tzortzis Rallis (Occupied Times) and will include art by Federico Geller, Ganzeer, Vladan Jeremić & Rena Rädle and articles by Grey Violet, Feminist Pencil, Núria Güell, Telekommunisten, Teivo Teivainen, Michel Bauwens, Occupy Museums and G.U.L.F.
- Here and Elsewhere / curated by Massimiliano Gioni, with Natalie Bell, Gary Carrion-Murayari, Helga Christoffersen, and Margot Norton / New Museum / New York +
In July 2014, the New Museum will present "Here and Elsewhere," a major exhibition of contemporary art from and about the Arab world. In the past ten years, the work of artists and cultural spaces in cities such as Amman, Beirut, Cairo, Dubai, Doha, Marrakesh, Ramallah, and Sharjah, among others, have established critical points of global access. However, despite a growing international interest in contemporary art from across North Africa and the Middle East, there have been few presentations of art from these regions in New York. "Here and Elsewhere" is the first museum-wide exhibition in New York to bring together more than forty artists from over twelve countries in the Arab world, many of whom live and work internationally. The exhibition borrows its title from a 1976 film-essay by French directors Jean-Luc Godard, Jean-Pierre Gorin, and Anne-Marie Miéville. Their film, Ici et ailleurs [Here and Elsewhere], was conceived as a pro-Palestinian documentary, but developed into a complex reflection on the ethics of representation and the status of images as instruments of political consciousness. Taking inspiration from Godard, Gorin, and Miéville's film—which has had a strong impact on an entire generation of artists in various Arab countries—the exhibition pays particular attention to the position and role of the artist in the face of historical events. Through different methodologies, an unconventional form of lyrical documentary and personal reportage emerges in works in which the artist is vested with the responsibility of revising dominant historical narratives. Other artists in the exhibition undertake experimental approaches to archival material, rewriting personal and collective traumas, and weaving fragments both real and imagined into their work. For others, traditional mediums like painting, drawing, and sculpture record subtle and intimate shifts in awareness, using images as tools for self-discovery, chronicles of current events, or registers of personal histories. A reflection on what is at stake in the act of representation characterizes many of the works in the exhibition, as many artists reconsider the task of witnessing and chronicling social and political changes. In addition, a number of pieces initiate a reflection on images as sites of conflict or spaces of intimacy, while others develop a critique of media representation and propaganda. In keeping with the New Museum's dedication to showcasing the most engaging work from different parts of the world, "Here and Elsewhere" joins a series of New Museum exhibitions that have introduced urgent questions and new aesthetics to New York audiences. Following the critical discussions that have animated contemporary art in recent years, "Here and Elsewhere" does not propose a fixed definition of Arab art or a distinctive regional style. With the renegotiation of location and perspective evoked in the exhibition's title, the show calls attention to specific cities and art scenes while emphasizing the importance of international dialogues that extend beyond the Arabic-speaking world. Further, the exhibition illuminates similar insights and affinities as well as dramatic differences, revealing multiple social and aesthetic landscapes rather than a fictional sense of unity. Combining pivotal and under-recognized figures with younger and midcareer artists, "Here and Elsewhere" works against the notion of the Arabic-speaking world as a homogenous or cohesive entity. Through the original and individualized practices of this multigenerational constellation of artists, the exhibition highlights works that often have conceptual or aesthetic roots in the Arab world, yet extend well beyond. Emerging from the works of a particularly strong and diverse group of artists are less the contours of an "imagined geography"—to use the words of Edward Said—than new critical attitudes toward art and images that encourage us to look "elsewhere" in order to understand our "here." The exhibition will be accompanied by a fully illustrated catalogue coedited with Negar Azimi, Kaelen Wilson-Goldie, and Babak Radboy of Bidoun magazine, and featuring roundtable discussions with artists as well as critical essays by scholars and critics. "Here and Elsewhere" is organized by the New Museum's curatorial department, led by Massimiliano Gioni, Associate Director and Director of Exhibitions, with Natalie Bell, Curatorial Associate, Gary Carrion-Murayari, Curator, Helga Christoffersen, Assistant Curator, and Margot Norton, Assistant Curator.

- The Poster in the Clash of Ideologies 1914 – 2014 / DOX Centre for Contemporary Art / Prague / Czech Republic +
The exhibition is a reference to Marshall McLuhan's famous statement that "the medium is the message," which appeared in his book Understanding Media (1964). The goal of the exhibition is to show, from the perspective of the current social situation, the link between the poster as a propaganda medium and the message of dominant ideologies over the last hundred years. While the majority of the 20th century was characterized by competition between two dominant economic systems, capitalism and socialism, today's situation is in this respect much less clear. The current uncertainty and instability in society is accompanied by attempts by political opportunists to resuscitate certain concepts from past ideologies, for example racism and fascism, or to the state's tendency to suppress democratic principles, for example in its efforts to monitor its citizens. The media are the main means for communicating these messages or meta-narratives.The exhibition The Poster in the Clash of Ideologies, 1914-2014 focuses on the medium of the poster, with overlaps to other media, as film and digital media. The exhibition follows a chronological sequence of distinct historical periods. The first sections shows the close connection between wars and nation states on the one hand, and the inception and entrenchment of the Communist system following World War I and II on the other hand. Another part deals with the Cold War era, i.e. the competition between socialism and capitalism, systems represented by to world powers, the USSR and the USA. The section devoted to the post-1989 era will emphasize specific of the 1990s transformation period, including the effects of globalization processes. The final part of the exhibition indicates the relationship between the rapidly developing media sector (digital media) and current unstable ideological landscape, in other words, how the link between the media and the message has been evolving.
- Biennale of Jakarta / Siasat / Teater Jakarta – Taman Ismail Marzuki / Jakarta +
Jakarta Biennale 2013 has taken the theme "SIASAT". An Arabic loanword, "siyasah" has a wide-ranging meaning in Indonesian. It can mean investigation or criticism, as well as politics, trickery, and tactics. It can also mean "reasoning" with which to achieve certain ends. Through SIASAT, Jakarta Biennale 2013 aims to reexamine how the citizens tackle all kinds of limitations, instabilities, problems, threats, potentials, as well as opportunities they encounter in the cityscape. It takes a look at how these 'siasat' are organically grown and established, and how they impact various aspects of the city life. Participating artists : Abdulrahman Saleh aka Maman (Indonesia) - Akumassa (Indonesia)- Babi Badalov (Azerbaijan/France) - Enrico Halim (Indonesia) - Etienne Turpin (Canada) - Fintan Magee (Australia) - Françoise Huguier (France) - Ho Tzu Nyen (Singapore) - Icaro Zorbar (Colombia) - Jimmy Ogonga (Kenya) - Khaled Jarrar (Palestine) - Kunst Republik (Germany) - Lost Generation (Malaysia) - Mella Jaarsma & Nindityo Adipurnomo (Indonesia) - Paul Mondok (The Philippines) - Riyan Riyadi aka The Popo (Indonesia) - Rizky Aditya Nugroho aka Bujangan Urban (Indonesia) - Sebastian Diaz Morales (Argentine) - TRANZIT (Czech Republic) - Xu Tan (China)

- EVERYWHERE BUT NOW / Thessaloniki biennale #4, curated by Adelina von Fürstenberg / Thessloniki +
"Everywhere but Now" is the title given to the Central Exhibition by delina von Fürstenberg the Chief Curator of the 4th Thessaloniki Biennale of Contemporary Art, Independent Curator and Film Producer, President of the NGO ART for The World. Over 50 artists from 25 countries - from Brazil and Cuba to Iran and India, as well as many Mediterranean countries, including 14 artists from Greece - will present their works, using all media such as paintings, sculptures, photography, video installations, films and performances. delina von Fürstenberg's comments on the exhibition title: "Everywhere but Now closely relates the question of space of different genius loci in the Mediterranean area with the question of time of creation in our contemporary world. It's in fact, Ernst Jungers's Hic et nunc that in the "Treaty of Rebel" describes the rebel as an independent and free man of action, very similar to the artist's condition. Everywhere but Now broadens also the concept of hic and nunc by giving a wider significant: a vision that adheres to the ideals of existentialism and recognizes man's fragility in his condition over: the Being there, Dasein of Heidegger. In addition, we can perceive in the title the fundamental character of Dasein as Being-in-the-world, in taking the world as horizon of the project."

- Milano Film Festival / Milano Theatro Dell Arte / Milano +
Productor Sami Said, Mohanad Yaqubi. Hands that smuggle bread through the cracks of the "Separation Barrier". Photos of children and grandchildren growing up on the other side, blocked from view. Microphones that record voices and deliver them past the blockades. Makeshift ladders that are used, day and night, to cross the Wall, which rhetoric would have us believe is insurmountable, the only protection against terrorist violence. Can a film debunk the porous myth of safety, one of the founding guarantees of the State of Israel? Low-tech and simple, filmed by the "transgressors" themselves with every available means, Infiltrators tells the story of the dangerous daily struggle for freedom of movement of Palestinians living on the West Bank. A film that achieves the ideal of Edward Said, the "uncontrolled smuggling of ideas across boundaries".

Khalid will present the process and challenges surrounding the making of his new documentary film "Infiltrators". The film unravels adventures of various attempts by individuals and groups during their search for gaps in the Israeli Wall in order to permeate and sneak past it. Some attempts end in failure, and others in success. It's a cat and mouse game, in which failure leads to more persistence and success is an antithesis to the cat's theories of security

- Where the Streets Have No Name / FOTOGALLERIET / Oslo +
Fotogalleriet is pleased to announce Runa Carlsen's solo exhibition Where the Streets Have No Name, taking place from 23 September to 28 October 2012. The exhibition takes as a starting point an autobiographical incident, namely Carlsen's encounter with a group of Palestinian refugee children and adolescents visiting Norway in August 1978 by initiative of The Palestine Committee of Norway in collaboration with the PLO. Being a child herself, Carlsen met the visitors as a member of the Red Pioneers, a youth organization linked to the radical Communist movement in Norway of the 1970s that co-hosted the young Palestinian guests. The failed attempt to establish a pen-friendship with one of the refugee children upon their departure - based on the non-existence of street names and post addresses - left a deep impact on the young Runa Carlsen and triggered her search for them in 2012, 34 years after the visit. In Carlsen's film shown at Fotogalleriet, the artist combines publicly available, private and autobiographical material to unravel narratives that not only represent the collective, but most importantly the individual memories of a people living in a conflict-driven area. Her work therefore becomes a general search for the personal stories of the people Carlsen encountered during her journey. Where the Streets Have No Name unfolds as a series of presentations and events during the exhibition period. The first event will take place with the Palestinian-born artist Khaled Jarrar and his "State of Palestine" project. For this project Jarrar has designed a postage stamp bearing the Palestinian sunbird, taking advantage of the Norwegian print-on-demand postage stamp service. The postage stamps can be bought and posted at Fotogalleriet, together with postcards designed by Runa Carlsen for Where the Streets Have No Name. Jarrar will also perform his passport-stamping project, giving individuals the possibility to receive a stamp reading "State of Palestine" in their passport. The passport stamping will take place at Youngstorget, Oslo on Thursday, 27 and Friday, 28 September between 15.00 and 18.00. On Thursday, 25 and Friday, 26 October Fotogalleriet hosts a series of lectures and film screenings by the veteran filmmaker Monica Maurer and film director Marco Pasquini. Maurer's and Pasquini's presentations will be complimented by the lecture of the Palestinian filmmaker Alaa El Ali, presenting "Letters from the Diaspora– A Letter to Ahmad" a project combining historical research with filmmaking. El Ali also accompanied Runa Carlsen during her visit to the refugee camps of Beirut in May 2012.
- Truth is concrete / Camp Exhibition Space / Graz / Austria +
Truth is concrete A 24/7 marathon camp on artistic strategies in politics and political strategies in art. 21/09 – 28/09/2012, Graz The Netherlands, Hungary, Spain, Great Britain, Greece, Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, Syria, Japan… A list in progress of countries as synonyms for crises, hopes and disasters that are changing the world so fast that we can't keep track: the rise of the populist right, financial devastations threatening the whole European project, fundamental destruction of economical, educational and cultural structures, democratic uprisings, Islamic fundamentalism, threats of technological and ecological catastrophes – where to start, where to end? What is the role of art in this race of events that we can barely follow, let alone properly understand? At a time when theory and practice are constantly lagging behind reality? When art is seen rather as a mere leftist hobby than a foundation of humanity? We have learned that there are no easy answers any more. We don't trust ideologies, even though we follow the ideology of capitalism. We know everything is contingent and relative. We replace critique with criticality, the political with the post-political, modernity with post-modernity, and capitalism with added value. But where the answers get too complicated, the desire for simple solutions is growing. And we – perhaps indeed leftist hobbyists – seem to have lost touch with a larger base. The constant awareness of the complexity of the notions of truth, reality or politics seems to have manoeuvred us into a dead-end road: either we are too simple, or we are too complex, too populist or too stuck in hermetic eremitism. Either we include too much or we exclude too many.
- Middle East Europe / SPACE / Bratislava / Slovakia +
curated by: Tamara Moyzes a Juraj Čarný artists: Emad Bornat (PS), Christoph Draeger (CH), Fawzy Emrany (PS), Ihab Jadallah (PS), Shahar Marcus (IL), Khaled Jarrar (PS), Anisa Ashkar (PS), Miklós Mécs & Judit Fischer (HU), Tamara Moyzes (SK/CZ) & Shlomi Yaffe (IL), Damir Nikšić (BiH) We are all familiar with images from Israel and from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, despite the fact that many of us have never personally visited the Middle East. On the basis of this mediated reality, we frequently arrive at conclusions, which are characterised by oversimplification or misunderstanding. While we view images of the Middle East through the media, for Palestinian or Israeli artists these represent an actual, lived experience. In our environment, their works may remain entirely beyond comprehension due to their depth and complexity, while when we place works by European artists into the context to which they refer, there may be a complete distortion of meanings. The exhibition Middle East Europe draws attention to this phenomenon in the context of political art. It opens up the issue of the responsibility of the artist and observes how the interpretation of a work of art is transformed if we place the work into a different cultural context.The exhibition contains works presenting both 'high politics' and personal human drama, terrorism and peace activism, generally comprehensible slogans and contextual testimonies. Whilst some artists respond to the theme ironically and propose various pseudo-solutions to the conflict, others engage with urgent problems of racism, anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in today's Europe. Last but not least the exhibition reflects the historical and present interconnection of Europe and the Middle East. The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is especially strongly bound to the destiny of Central Europe, which bears its share of responsibility for what is happening in the Middle East today.

- The Ungovernables - New Museum Triennial / New Museum / New York +
The 2012 New Museum Triennial will feature thirty-four artists, artist groups, and temporary collectives—totaling over fifty participants—born between the mid-1970s and mid-1980s, many of whom have never before exhibited in the US. The exhibition title, "The Ungovernables," takes its inspiration from the concept of "ungovernability" and its transformation from a pejorative term used to describe unruly "natives" to a strategy of civil disobedience and self-determination. "The Ungovernables" is meant to suggest both anarchic and organized resistance and a dark humor about the limitations and potentials of this generation. "The Ungovernables" is an exhibition about the urgencies of a generation who came of age after the independence and revolutionary movements of the 1960s and 1970s. Through both materials and form, works included in "The Ungovernables" explore impermanence and an engagement with the present and future. Many of the works are provisional, site-specific, and performative reflecting an attitude of possibility and resourcefulness.

"Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor Mediated Gene Regulation in the Pathobiology of Pulmonary Hypertension"
Term: July 1, 2004 - June 30, 2006
Currently: Physician Scientist/Clinical Fellow in the Department of Cardiology, Children's Hospital Boston, Harvard Medical School
Bone Morphogenetic Protein Receptor Mediated Gene Regulation in the Pathobiology of Pulmonary Hypertension
Published Research Hansmann Circulation 2007 (PDF)
Published Research Hansmann JCI 2008 (PDF)
Published Research Hansmann ERJ 2009 (PDF)
Dr. Rabinovitch's group has shown that the release of the transcription factor, AML1, from the nuclear matrix to the nuclear extract, is associated with increased elastase activity (Mitani Y et al. FASEB J 2001), a key event in the development of pulmonary vascular disease (Cowan K et al. Nature Medicine 2000). Work related to my PHA research proposal was first presented at the Arteriosclerosis Thrombosis Vascular Biology (ATVB) 6th Annual Conference in Washington, DC in April 2005. This was a platform session in which we showed the opposing effects of bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) and epidermal growth factor (EGF) in regulating transcriptionally active AML1 in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (SMC): BMP-2 shuttles AML1 from the nuclear extract to the nuclear matrix where it is either non-transcriptionally active, or acts as a repressor of growth promoting genes. Loss of function mutations in the BMP-RII gene are common in idiopathic and familial forms of PAH, and our preliminary results suggest that this would lead to enhanced growth-promotive activity of AML1. This research project is still in progress: We are especially interested in the cross-talk between AML1, SMAD1, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) and wingless (Wnt) and related signaling downstream of BMP receptor II (BMP-RII).
Moreover, we have performed molecular and cell biology studies in which I first constructed a small hairpin RNAi pLentivirus to stably knock-down BMP-RII in human pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (HPASMC). This receptor is mutated in pulmonary arterial hypertension leading to abnormal vascular cell proliferation and migration. I have since shown in HPASMC that BMP-2 signals through BMP-RII, and further demonstrated that there is rapid nuclear translocation and DNA binding of PPARgamma in response to BMP-2 stimulation. This is important because PPARgamma suppresses smooth muscle cell proliferation and BMP-2 signals through BMP-RII. We are currently investigating whether loss of PPARgamma activity directly leads to disturbed gene regulation downstream of BMP-RII signaling in the pulmonary circulation (for PASMC: see Journal of Clinical Investigation 2008; 118: 1846-1857).
We also carried out whole animal studies in apoE deficient mice (apoE -/-) and thereby established a novel mouse model for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) associated with insulin resistance. Strikingly, oral treatment with an insulin-sensitizing PPARgamma agonist led to complete regression of PAH (i.e. regression of increased right ventricular systolic pressure as an indicator of PA pressure, right ventricular hypertrophy and peripheral pulmonary arterial muscularization) in insulin-resistant apoE -/- mice (see Circulation 2007; 115: 1275-1284). In collaboration with Dr. Roham T. Zamanian and colleagues, we then demonstrated that insulin resistance is more prevalent in 81 women with PAH (mean age 49.1±19.3 yrs) than in the general population, and may be a novel risk factor or disease modifier that might impact on survival (European Respiratory Journal 2009; 33: 318-324 epub 12/2008). Taken together, we suggest that PPARgamma agonists might reverse SMC proliferation and vascular remodeling in insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant PAH patients with or without BMP-RII dysfunction.

Eye Catching
"These shoes are beautiful to look at. A museum shoe! They run on the long side but the width seems true to size.The shoe bed has a metallic and very slippery surface. It makes you feel unbalanced as your ankles could roll very easily. Your foot (heel especially) has no adherence to the shoe when walking. If it had a more secure foot bed it would be a much more stable shoe.The two starts are for the comfort and instability of the shoe. You just can not wear them for an everyday shoe, more of a short walk & sitting event shoe -which is such a shame because the look is terrific! I can not recommend them because if you can not wear them what is the point?"

Gloucester have recalled Henry Trinder, Huia Edmonds and Ben Morgan for Saturday's big derby showdown with Bath at Kingsholm.
Gloucester have recalled trio Henry Trinder, Huia Edmonds and Ben Morgan for their Aviva Premiership derby clash with Bath at Kingsholm.
England international Morgan's return sees Sione Kalamafoni move across from number eight to blindside flank for the game against their rivals.
And, featuring in a Gloucester squad for the first time, is All Black scrum-half Jimmy Cowan who is named amongst the replacements.
Boss Nigel Davies admitted that he feels that there are certain similarities between the teams but that Gloucester are ready for the encounter.
"I think we're very similar to Bath at the moment. We're both teams in transition with new coaching groups, new philosophies and new look teams," he said.
"We're both working hard to put those systems and philosophies in place, so it'll be interesting to see which side comes out on top on Saturday.
"It's important to keep the momentum going. We're at home and we desperately want to win and put in a big performance.
"This group of players are playing with lots of confidence at the moment, with lots of belief. We're ready for this fixture, it's a huge fixture."
Meanwhile, Sam Vesty will come into the starting line-up at inside centre for Bath as the West Country outfit look to clinch a vital win in the league.
This will be Vesty's first start of the season, and he will partner Dan Hipkiss in the midfield, with Michael Claassens and Stephen Donald forming the half-backs.
Having played at inside centre last Saturday in the win over Sale Sharks, Donald slots back into his preferred role of fly-half, replacing Olly Barkley, who last week played his final game for Bath before taking up a contract at Racing Metro 92.
The back-three doesn't change, with Kyle Eastmond and Tom Biggs out wide and Nick Abendanon at full-back.
Up front, Paul James is retained at loosehead, and will link up with Lee Mears – who is handed the captain's armband – and Davey Wilson to form an all-international front-row. In the absence of Club captain Stuart Hooper, who sadly injured his hamstring last Saturday, Dominic Day partners former Cherry and White Dave Attwood in the engine room.
"Kingsholm was once home to me and it is a special place. To be arriving there this weekend with my Bath teammates is a real honour. These are special days and there is a huge amount of history to remember as you run out. I can't wait for the game," said Attwood.
The back-row remains unchanged as Carl Fearns and Ben Skirving pack down on the flanks, with 66 times capped Scot Simon Taylor at number eight.
Form: Gloucester are unbeaten in their last four Aviva Premiership Rugby matches since their opening day defeat at home to table topping Northampton. Gloucester ended a four game losing streak at Kingshom with their 29-22 victory over Wasps in round four. Bath recorded a 31-10 win over Sale on Friday to end a run of two successive defeats. Bath's solo win in their last five away trips was 24-23 at Worcester on 1 September. Bath have been victorious just once in their last nine clashes with the Cherry & Whites: 24-8 at The Rec on 27 December 2009. Bath have not beaten Gloucester at Kingsholm since 25 February 2006.
The teams:
Gloucester: 15 Rob Cook, 14 Shane Monahan, 13 Henry Trinder, 12 Billy Twelvetrees, 11 James Simpson-Daniel, 10 Freddie Burns, 9 Dan Robson, 8 Ben Morgan, 7 Akapusi Qera, 6 Sione Kalamafoni, 5 Jim Hamilton (capt), 4 Tom Savage, 3 Rupert Harden, 2 Huia Edmonds, 1 Nick Wood.
Replacements: 16 Koree Britton, 17 Dan Murphy, 18 Shaun Knight, 19 Will James, 20 Gareth Evans, 21 Jimmy Cowan, 22 Mike Tindall, 23 Martyn Thomas.
Bath: 15 Nick Abendanon, 14 Kyle Eastmond, 13 Dan Hipkiss, 12 Sam Vesty, 11 Tom Biggs, 10 Stephen Donald, 9 Michael Claassens, 8 Simon Taylor, 7 Ben Skirving, 6 Carl Fearns, 5 Dave Attwood, 4 Dominic Day, 3 Davey Wilson, 2 Lee Mears (capt), 1 Paul James.

Clair de Lune (Paperback)
An unexpected treasure: A long-lost novel of innocence threatened, by the author of the beloved classic The Moonflower Vine
The time: 1941, at the cusp of America's entry into World War II. The place: southwest Missouri, on the edge of the Ozark Mountains. A young single woman named Allen Liles has taken a job as a junior college teacher in a small town, although she dreams of living in New York City, of dancing at recitals, of absorbing the bohemian delights of the Village. Then she encounters two young men: George, a lanky, carefree spirit, and Toby, a dark-haired, searching soul with a wary look in his eyes. Soon the three strike up an after-school friendship, bantering and debating over letters, ethics, and philosophyinnocently at first, but soon in giddy flirtationuntil Allen and one of the young men push things too far, and the quiet happiness she has struggled so hard to discover is thrown into jeopardy.
Praise For…
"Arriving nearly 50 years after her bestselling debut, The Moonflower Vine, Carleton's second novel is a witty and romantic portrait of a young Midwestern woman coming to grips with adulthood and the responsibilities that come with it."
-Publishers Weekly
"Evocative … Fine and dry, with a faint flavor of The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie, Carleton's vignette of innocence and experience has a bright wit and perceptive charm, rendered all the more enjoyable by its retro feel."
-Kirkus Reviews

Canadians lose to top-seeds
THE HAGUE, The Netherlands (June 12, 2013)– Canada's two teams in men's competition lost to the top-seeds in their respective groups on Wednesday as main draw action opened at the FIVB Grand Slam World Tour beach volleyball tournament.
In Group B action, Christian Redmann of Toronto and Maverick Hatch of Comox, B.C., lost to second seeds and Olympic silver medallists Alison Cerutti and Emanuel Rego of Brazil 21-15, 21-14.
In Group E, Ben Saxton of Calgary and Chaim Schalk of Red Deer, Alta., (in photo) fell to fifth seeds Jacob Gibb and Casey Patterson of the U.S., 31-29, 21-15. Two weeks ago at the World Cup final in Brazil, Saxton and Schalk upset the Americans in round robin play.
Both Canadian pairs close out the round robin portion of the tournament with two matches on Thursday. The top-three in each group advance to the knockout round.

By PATSY STODDARDEditor
The Emery High Construction class is hard at it again working on the construction of a new house in Castle Dale. The class consists of 20 students from Emery High who work on the house two class periods each day with a few of them staying after school for extra instruction.
Jim Keele and Gordon Card are the class instructors. Ed Clark from the Emery School District Office is the Supervisor of Applied Technology and oversees the construction project. He said, "Mr. Keele and Mr. Card are recognized as the best construction teachers in the state. I've been to a lot of student construction projects and ours is the best. Our students are able to do so much of the project themselves. In a lot of the buildings they have to contract much of the work out. Our students build the whole house from the ground up. The school district did the first house on their own and it took two years to finish. We now work in conjunction with the Utah Housing Authority. Each of the houses constructed have all been sold. Originally we bought 25 building lots, but we have combined two lots together so the owners will have more yard space. We have 11 or 12 lots left which should keep the construction class busy for the next 10 years. The house they constructed last year sold during the summer.
Keele credits Clark with finding some extra funds this year to award prizes to the students for safety. If the student shows up each day with their hard hats, gloves and safety glasses in place then they receive a ticket which is put in for a drawing. The prizes include: hard hats, chalk lines, tool belts, tool buckets, safety glasses, miter boxes, dry wall kits as well as other construction related prizes. A winner is drawn out every three weeks. All of the winners will be thrown into a drawing for a grand prize at the end of the year which is a Swiss saw.
Keele said, "This year we are putting hickory cabinets in the kitchen. I teach a cabinet making class for two periods a day. They students help construct the cabinets which have been places in the homes we've constructed. Hickory is really durable and should last forever and takes a lot of abuse.
"The students who take the construction class are ready to move into construction jobs which pay $2-3 more than minimum wage and they can do that right off the site. There are construction jobs everywhere for the students if the people know they came out of one of these programs. We are also able to help the builders receive scholarships from the College of Eastern Utah. This hands on experience is important if they want to work toward a construction management degree it also helps them work toward their own contractors license.
"We are also trying to work with CEU to give college credit to the students who work after school. The students receive their elective credits during class time which helps them toward high school graduation. We also work in partnership with the Southeastern Utah Applied Technology Center. About half of our students move into construction jobs or scholarships. This is really a great program," said Keele.
The students constructing the house this year include: John Baletka, Tyrel Bennett, Joshua Brinkerhoff, Colby Childs, Jason Fredricksen, Courtney Hansen, Robby Lehman, Daniel Luke,
Wylee Merrell, Alexander O'Neil, Jason Parrish, Chris Petersen, Travis Quinn, Marshall Ruehman, Kyle Scow, Josh Sharp, Jason Stevens, Joe Stoddard and Jared Wall.

The Motorcycle Personality Test
Their result for The Motorcycle Personality Test ...
Harley 883 Sportster
You scored 2 moxie, 5 zeal, and 4 pomp!
However, if you do ride, statistics would suggest that you are destined for a Harley-Davidson, probably something in the Softail line.
You might have noticed that's a lot of moolah for an (arguably) obsolete piece of machinery, and you're too rational and attitude-free to need the Biggest and Baddest that the marketeers tell you to buy. A far more reasonably priced taste of the Harley Kool-Aid is the 883 Sporty, a fun little beast that leaves you with plenty of cash to customize.
On the other hand, the only reason I'm bringing up the Harley-Davidson product line at all is due to the fact that Harley is the choice most people think of when they consider getting into motorcycling, and that's mostly because they don't know much about the alternatives.
Thought experiment: if you were the only person left on earth, and you could pick any motorcycle you wanted, what would you choose? Best looking or best engineered? Your test results don't really point in any direction strongly, so I'll try to nudge you towards substance over style.
Consider: a FXST Softail weighs 629lbs dry, the base version starts around $14k, and will make 75-80hp -- after you tweak it with pipes and a jet kit. A Buell XB12R weighs 395lbs dry, costs $10.5k and makes 103hp, stock. An Aprilia Tuono R weighs 417lbs, costs $12k, and makes 125hp, stock. (We won't even mention the bang for buck of the Japanese competitors.) Still a fan of retro-classic styling? Then at least consider Harley's V-Rod, which mixes in some modern engineering into the equation (596lbs, 125hp, $17k).
While the Sportster is a reasonable compromise, you may discover that you enjoy the added feedback provided by standard-style bikes such as the Suzuki SV or the Ducati Monster. (If you must hang with the Harley crowd, they'll be less likely to give you grief if you choose the Buell, though.)
You have the potential to be a great rider. Take the MSF class, and choose a bike that won't hold you back!
Their Analysis (Vertical line = Average)
They scored 2% on moxie, higher than 29% of your peers.
They scored 5% on zeal, higher than 52% of your peers.
They scored 4% on pomp, higher than 61% of your peers.

London Irish produced a shock 22-13 win over league leaders Saracens at Allianz Park on Saturday, scoring three first-half tries.
London Irish produced a shock 22-13 win over league leaders Saracens at Allianz Park on Saturday, scoring three first-half tries.
Sarries were seeking a response following a narrow home reverse against Northampton, while had been handsome victors against Scarlets.
James O'Connor's early penalty gave the visitors an advantage, but that was cancelled out on 13 minutes when Marcelo Bosch grabbed his first try for the club, after Saracens opted to attack their opponents' line from a penalty.
The Exiles hit back at the beginning of the second quarter through Matt Parr's try, created by an exciting series of offloads. O'Connor added the conversion.
Charlie Hodgson's penalty goal on 34 minutes made it 8-10, but Irish struck a hammer blow before half-time.
First, Alex Lewington raced away to score a fine try, and then he provided a grubber kick for George Skivington to latch onto and regather to touch down.
O'Connor converted the final try of the half to make it 8-22 at the interval. There were fewer points scored in the second half, with Irish content to sit on their lead and stifle any threat of a comeback.
And the visitors actually enjoyed the lion's share of attacking chances, as Sarries struggled to mount any sort of threat in the attacking quarter.
They eventually made it over five minutes from the end when Schalk Brits crossed, though Hodgson was wide with the conversion and there wasn't enough time for Saracens to get themselves back into the game.
The scorers:
For Saracens:
Tries: Bosch, Brits
Pen: Hodgson
For Irish:
Tries: Parr, Lewington, Skivington
Cons: O'Connor 2

Microsoft's Ballmer Promises Christmas Tablet Miracle
Jason Mick
October 6, 2010 3:03 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer promised the world Windows tablets at last year's CES, but thus far has failed to deliver. Speaking to an audience Tuesday, he promised that they would see Windows tablets by Christmas.
(Source: Reuters)
"You'll see new slates with Windows on them. You'll see them this Christmas." -- Steve Ballmer
One of the technology industry's big Steves -- Steve Ballmer, Chief Executive of Microsoft -- on Tuesday
that Windows tablets
won't take much longe
r to hit the market and compete with Apple's popular iPad and upcoming Google Android/Chrome OS tablets. He remarked, "
You'll see new slates with Windows on them. You'll see them this Christmas
Of course "see them this Christmas" could have a variety of meanings -- anything from "see them" as be unwrapping them, or "see them" as in reading an online press release that they will be available in March.
Google and its hardware partners has been a bit slow responding to the tablet craze. They only recently have aired 5-inch (Dell Streak) and 7-inch (
Dell Streak
Samsung Galaxy Tab
) designs, and are still awaiting
full-sized 10-inch tablets
, comparable in size to the iPad.
Microsoft, however, has been even more lackadaisical in pursuing this lucrative market. The company
showed off a slew of tablets
at a presentation attended by
at this year's Consumer Electronics Show, yet has failed to deliver a single Windows tablet from a major player.
HP, the world's largest personal computer maker, was reportedly close to releasing designs like the HP Slate this spring, but has shelved those plans, instead focusing on webOS tablets. WebOS is a product of Palm, which HP
acquired earlier this year
Meanwhile July's numbers indicate that Apple is unloading at least
2.3 million iPads a month
. If it can sustain that sales pace (which seems likely due to holiday demand and lack of competitors), it's on the mark to hit anywhere from 15 to 20 million tablets sold this year.
Mr. Ballmer also hit on one of Microsoft other key problem spots -- the mobile phone market. Microsoft's Kin project was a
colossal sales failure
perpetrated by miserably outdated hardware, bizarre commercials that bordered on disturbing, and a lack of carrier support. At the end of the day Microsoft pulled the plug.
Meanwhile, Microsoft's veteran Windows Mobile brand has languished, bleeding market share to Apple and Google. Microsoft's answer is a brand-new smart phone operating system dubbed Windows Phone 7, which will
air October 11th
Mr. Ballmer addressed his company's challenging state of affairs in this sector, summarizing, "
The job right now is we've got to get back seriously into the game of phones
We've got to have a comeback against the competition and I think with our new Windows phones we really have a beautiful product
WP7 faces an uphill battle when it hits the market, but Microsoft's CEO seems to realize that. At least he can take comfort that he will quite possibly be putting some in peoples' Christmas stocking...even if that something isn't a Windows tablet.
"It seems as though my state-funded math degree has failed me. Let the lashings commence." -- DailyTech Editor-in-Chief Kristopher Kubicki
