The Five Key Myths About HTML5
- 09/01/2010
- Categorized in: Encoding your video
I was preparing for a webinar last week and scanned 46 websites to see how many used HTML5 as the primary playback option for video. This was a mix of media sites (14), business to consumer sites (22) and business to business sites (10). The answer was 1 - Wikipedia - with YouTube offering HTML5 as an alternative to Flash. Even Apple - the sugar doesn't melt in my mouth, we believe in open standards -- poster child for HTML5 uses the QuickTime plug-in for displaying video on Apple.com.
That got me thinking; why would any site where video was mission critical use HTML5 today, or even in the near term? There's no standardized way to protect their content, no streaming server that can efficiently dole the content out to multiple viewers on different browsers and no scheme for adaptive streaming. There isn't even full support for all advertising servers.
Looking at it from the other direction, the installed base of HTML5 compatible browsers is only around 40-50%, depending upon who you ask, and you need to produce using at least two, perhaps three codecs to service those browsers. That made me realize that HTML5 is a FUD and media driven fiction that won't be widely relevant for at least three or four years, and then only if the relevant parties make some hard decisions that they've as of yet shied away from.
So here are my five key myths about HTML5.
Myth 1. Current Producers Hate Flash
As you may recall, HTML5 had very little mindshare until Apple introduced the iPad, and Apple president Steve Jobs attributed the lack of Flash support in the new device to the fact that Flash was an unstable CPU Hog that lacked security. Bloggers and media types who couldn't pick the video tag out of a police lineup jumped on the story, and HTML5 came into the limelight
But were Job's statements true? I deal with the performance aspects below, but a recent survey that I produced for StreamingMedia.com proved that user satisfaction with Flash was actually quite high. Specifically, in the research report entitled Supporting the iPad and HTML5: Timing, Motivations, Costs, and Scope, we surveyed 1,147 web and IT professionals on a variety of subjects, including satisfaction with Flash and Silverlight.
As you can see in Table 1, less than 2% of the 564 respondents who answered this question rated Flash as poor in performance, stability, security and end user satisfaction. Regarding Silverlight, the scores were even better, though the number of respondents were much fewer.
Certainly Flash has had its share of detractors, and not all of them are named Steve Jobs. Still, if the web producers actually using the technology shared these concerns, it would be reflected in the survey, and in migration to alternative technologies like Silverlight or even QuickTime.
But we're seeing neither. Significantly, if you take the agenda-driven Apple, Microsoft and Wikipedia out of the picture, 42 of the 46 sites I surveyed used Flash, with Accenture using Windows Media. Does this make Flash like a technology in decline? Not to me, which means that widespread dissatisfaction with Flash is a myth.
Which leads us to myth number 2.
Comments (35)
To add to this article. Did you know that only 2 out of the 7 demos found on Apple's HTML 5 showcase page actually used HTML5 http://apple.com/html5
It's amazing the levels of deception Apple and HTML 5 purits are willing to take to further their propoganda machine.
Well written, and although clearly biased, still presented in a mostly "objective" statistics & data driven analysis. The bits on the HTML5 spec timeline I think are quite important. The worst thing with web development these days is having separate stylesheets for IE6/IE9/FF/Webkit/ etc etc .. now we will just have more layers of things that require various levels of falling back and customizations.
HTML5 fancy features aside, there is still a very large deficit with browsers and their rendering reliability of HTML/CSS. Everyone seems to avoid talking about the most common problems of web development are still right there, but with all the video codec hubub, they have gotten pushed to the side. Personally I wish video wasn't involved with HTML5, they should just focus on getting all browsers to be implemented the same way.
Thanks .... I think. I admit that I get pretty wound up with how biased the favorable HTML5 articles are, with little or no facts to support their claims. All I can say is that you should have seen the first draft of this article - it was all bias and no fact.
I agree that video has consumed a signficantly disproportionate share of the focus about HTML5 - Flash is dead just grabs more eyeballs than HTML/CSS. Let it do the basics first, then worry about video.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
It's funny how any Apple Fanboi will jump on Steve Job's every word and talk about how CPU intensive that Flash is...
Well the latest Google Doodle uses only JS and CSS has been crashing computers around the world because of the CPU demands. HTML5 is a progression, but it's not the entire answer.
Thanks for sharing.
Great article. The hype machine has been rolling the past 6 months but the facts presented here speak for themselves. It's reassuring to see the streaming community setting things straight.
Your analysis looks backward more than forward. Yes, the actual support and penetration of HTML5 video on the web is low at this point, but it's clearly the direction that the industry is going in. It's going to take a few years to get there, but I'd rather start experimenting with it now (I've got no other choice if I want to support iOS devices) than ignore it and have to make dramatic changes in order to keep up with architectural changes.
Thanks for your note. I would say that my analysis looks at today, not yesterday. I agree, developers need to be HTML5 aware today, with a plan to evaluate if and when to cut over at some point.
Thanks again for weighing in.
A few more myths would be.
1). Flash does not support touch. LIE!
2). Users lose browser controls like back button. LIE!
3). Not Seo friendly. LIE!
People use "flash amatuer" developers to base all of the negative on. Any one in the proffesional world knows that anything can be done with flash, and it can perform amazingly.
On a side note, looks like flash is getting native 3d support.
Great additions, thanks for contributing.
One thing people need to think about, is the commitees that developed some of the older specs didn't have a financal interest involved. The current commitees are made up of people in tech companies with strong financal interests, all the decisions are weighed against the interests of those businesses which means they are slow and contentious, and often lacking in inovation.
A quick correction: there's no DRM in HTTP Live Streaming - or at least no DRM in the sense that anyone would recognise it. The closest approximation is (per Apple's documentation):
Media files containing stream segments may be individually encrypted. When encryption is employed, references to the corresponding key files appear in the index file so that the client can retrieve the keys for decryption.
When a key file is listed in the index file, the key file contains a cipher key that must be used to decrypt subsequent media files listed in the index file. Currently HTTP Live Streaming supports AES-128 encryption using 16-octet keys. The format of the key file is a packed array of these 16 octets in binary format.
This is in no way equivalent to the protections available when using WMRM, FairPlay or FlashAccess; instead it's more like asking the consumer "promise you'll be good".
Thanks for the clarification and contribution.
Eventually, libraries like JQuery came about, which were made possible by browsers coalescing around standards - both official and defacto. That gave devleopers an abstraction layer that allows the terrific web UIs we see today. Less work, better features, better user experience.
At this point, HTML5 video is still in that science-fair stage. Sure, you can use it, and to support Apple devices you have to. But it still offers less functionality for more effort, and as such, remains a necessary distraction for many video publishers at this point.
One day, it will be "there" and we'll love it like we love JQuery. But until then, Flash and Silverlight will provide the best path for supporting the most users with the best experience and the least effort.
Hey Larry:
Thanks for your insightful post. I would argue that when it's "there" Flash and Silverlight will be much further ahead, and there won't be there anymore. As I mentioned in a post on the StreamingMedia site,
"You seem to be saying that HTML5 can provide an effective lowest common denominator video playback experience. My point is that Adobe and Microsoft keep raising the floor as to what that lowest common denominator experience is, even for small corps."
But, you're closer to the firing line than I am, so your opinion has lots of weight with me, and I appreciate your sharing it.
This article defines the term "reality check," and blows away the smoke and mirrors. Thanks.
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to write your kind words.
Jan, I should have said the same thing about the work you and Tim did last January in your articles on adaptive bitrate streaming. They were timely and truly helpful for those of us trying to make sense of this environment and build practical systems. Tech journalism can't do better than that.
I think it's wrong to focus only on the video tag, which is only a tiny fragment of the HTML5 specs. In my opinion, HTML5 can be really useful to developers as it adds many semantic tags that helps structuring your HTML documents. I'll probably won't be using the video and audio tags for the next 4 years or so but I'll surely use the nav, arctivle, aside and other ones that will make my HTML more readable for my co-workers. Also it will help web spiders indexing pages more naturally, as crowlers will probably start ignoring navigationnal content and focus on the core content of pages.
I agree, but virtually all of the positive press about HTML5 has been related to the video tag, starting with Apple's decision to not support Flash in the iPad.
Video or otherwise (of course), HTML5 won't really become practical until the installed base of HTML5 browsers gets much, much larger. I don't see that happending that soon.
You're right, the video tag does get most of the media coverage. The media (are they really knowledgable on the subject?) decided that highlighting this aspect would attract readers, mainly thanks to the hype around apple products and Job's refusal to integrate flash in iOS. I am kind of sad to see most of the attention of the develloper crowd focused on the video tag because of the media while other parts of HTML5 can be implemented right now! If you use a "aside" tag in your HTML it won't break the rendering in IE6 for instance.
Amazing eye-and-mind-opener article. A complement to Jan of course, but I also feel stupid not to have been critical enough to the no-to-flash-mantra of Steve Jobs. Our job is to deliver the best experience, if that goes well without Flash then go ahead! But based on many user engagement objectives, Flash does deliver a superior user experience IF developed by real Flash pros @truimagz. For instance, Flash supports alpha channels in video which can be interlaced seamlessly with content around it making a video sequence (like a moderator) an integral/interactive part of the experience http://active.tutsplus.com/tutorials/screencasts/g... . I don't know the specs of HTML5, so pls correct me if wrong, video is supposed to play in a box ... right?
Thanks for your thoughts!
Thank you for this excellent summary! As someone who is in the middle of a year-long Flash development project, I can now just send your link to all the people in my world who are freaking out over iPhones and iPads. You are absolutely correct that most of the Flash detractors are ill-informed about browser/device/video technologies.
People really need to read this article, both programmers and web owners. There was some excellent information posted in this blog article. Thanks.
HLS may not be a full-fledged DRM solution however you can get pretty close. Decryption keys should be unique for every video title and always delivered to the iOS client over a secure connection. BTW, the "client" in this case is the native iOS player client which directy handles keys, decryption and playout. Decryption key's for video playout are not handled by the browser and are therefore never exposed like they can be in a traditional web-based solution once they're transmitted. Do you get playout protection with HLS... no. So if this this is a non-starter for you then you don't really have a choice but to move to a full-blown DRM solution. However, the security model can be made very tight and a no brainer if all you are securing is SD content. Certainly worth a deeper dive when comparing the pains of implementing DRM and driving your customers crazy. Content rights holders want DRM (i.e. studios), not customers. There are good reasons for the consumer backlash against DRM and both complexity and infexibilty are among the biggest concerns. Is HLS the Fort-Knox of security... no. But you need to ask yourself if you really need that given the trade-offs you and your customers have to make with DRM. Is HLS "enough" security... yes depending on what your protecting. SD content in my opionion is a definite "yes". Anything that minimizes that barrier for consumers should be seen as a good thing which makes HLS for iOS delivery a very viable option and one that should be seriously considered before moving to a full-fledged DRM solution.

CENTENNIAL - Mountain Vista's hockey team, according to head coach Lev Cohen, is heading in the right direction.
And that direction could be to South Suburban Ice Arena to host one of four CHSAA hockey regionals after the Golden Eagles edged Heritage 5-4 in a Peak Conference game Saturday night at South Suburban.
Mountain Vista's win pulled the Golden Eagles into a tie with Heritage at 11-2-0 in the Peak Conference with each team having one regular season game remaining.
Fountain Valley leads the Peak Conference with a 11-1-0 record and the top two teams in the Peak and Foothills Conference will host four-team regional playoff tournaments Feb. 22-23.
Since Mountain Vista beat Heritage, it will give the Golden Eagles the nod over the Heritage Eagles for second place if both teams win their final game.
Mountain Vista plays Cheyenne Mountain (4-7-0) Thursday and Heritage battles Valor Christian (8-3-1) Saturday. Both games are at South Suburban.
Fountain Valley plays Pueblo County and Bishop Machebeuf, two teams with combined 8-15-0 records in conference action.
"This get us second place if we win Thursday," Cohen said. "We played well. We have a few things to fix but we're going in the right direction."
Bryan Hancock had two goals and an assist for the Golden Eagles and Brantt Heble had a goal and assist.
Heble, a senior who attends Chaparral High School, scored the game-winning goal that gave Mountain Vista a 5-3 lead at the 13:09 mark of the third period.
"I got a good pass and it was pretty easy to put it away," Heble said. "It was on the back door. The puck just popped right out in front in front and it was just a tap in."
Heble extended his points streak to six games and he has seven goals and six assists in the past five games.
Heritage's captain Scott Appleby collected his fourth goal of the game 51 seconds after Heble's tap in to pull the Eagles to within 5-4 but Mountain Vista goalie Joe Morgan made two of his 27 saves in the final 36 seconds of the contest with Heritage playing with a man advantage to seal the victory.
It was the seventh win in a row for Morgan, a sophomore ar Highlands Ranch.
"Joe played great for them," said Heritage coach Jeremy Sims. "He had some great saves in the game. We had some great chances right on the door step but missed.
"More than likely will not get home ice now. We'll definitely bounce back. We have Valor next week. We're shorthanded right now with three kids out with concussions and two suspended. This was a big game. We knew it, they knew it, the refs knew it and the kids knew it. That was by far the most kids we've had to watch a hockey game."
Mountain Vista contained Heritage's state scoring leader Connor Crory, holding him to three assists in the game.
Crory, who attends Arapahoe High School, is well on his way to the state scoring title with 31 goals and 29 assists for 60 points.

Ex-Microsoft Executive: Steve Ballmer Holds his Reign by Pushing Others Out

(Source: Business Insider)
Ballmer pushes any rising star within Microsoft out before they have the chance to potentially replace him
An ex-Microsoft executive, who will release a new book about his experiences with the company, said that current CEO Steve Ballmer is anything but fit for the role.
Joachim Kempin, a former Microsoft employee from 1983-2002, recently wrote a book called "Resolve and Fortitude: Microsoft's 'Secret Power Broker' Breaks his Silence" that will be published today.
The book details Ballmer's role as CEO, and how he has kept that position for so long. According to Kempin, Ballmer
pushes any rising star within Microsoft out
before they have the chance to potentially replace him.
Kempin first witnessed this when it happened to Richard Belluzzo, a former Hewlett-Packard executive that launched the Xbox console. He eventually made his way up to chief operating officer, but after only 14 months as COO, Belluzzo left.
"He (Belluzzo) had no room to breathe on the top," said Kempin. "When you work that directly with Ballmer and Ballmer believes 'maybe this guy could someday take over from me', my God, you will have less air to breathe, that's what it comes down to."
Kempin said this also happened with other major Microsoft executives, including Kevin Johnson, a former Windows head that left to run Juniper Networks Inc.; Stephen Elop, a former Office chief that went to Nokia; Ray Ozzie, a software extraordinaire that left to start his own project, and Steven Sinofsky, former Windows chief that left right after
Windows 8 launched
Sinofsky, former president of Microsoft's Windows and Windows Live division, announced that he was
leaving the company
last November after 23 years with the company.
While Sinofsky was seen as a brilliant figure at Microsoft, his downfall was that he didn't get along with others within the company. He was notorious for picking fights with other executives, including Ballmer.
So why exactly does Ballmer feel threatened? According to Kempin, it's because Ballmer isn't fit for the CEO role, and that Microsoft could use a new fresh face at the helm.
"Is he a great CEO? I don't think so," said Kempin. "Microsoft's board is a lame duck board, has been forever. They hire people to help them administer the company, but not to lead the company. That's the problem. They need somebody maybe 35-40 years old, a younger person who understands the Facebook Inc generation and this mobile community. They don't need this guy on stage with this fierce, aggressive look, announcing the next version of Windows and thinking he can score with that."
"DailyTech is the best kept secret on the Internet." -- Larry Barber

Virgin Blue Flies 20 Million Guests07/04/2004
Major Milestone For Low Fare Leader
Virgin Blue will today mark another significant milestone when it welcomes on board its 20-millionth Guest, doubling its passenger numbers in a third of the time it took to clock-up its 10-millionth Guest in 2003.
The mystery 20-millionth Guest is expected to board a 9.15am direct flight from Virgin Blue's Melbourne base arriving in the Gold Coast at 11.15am this morning.
Since it launched into Australian skies on 31 August 2000, the leading low fare airline has travelled more than 175 million kilometres throughout Australia, equivalent to circumnavigating the earth 4300 times.
This latest achievement further cements Virgin Blue's role as a solid long-term player in the domestic aviation industry, with the airline expecting to carry around one million Guests over the month of April alone.
Virgin Blue Chief Executive Brett Godfrey said, "When you consider it took Virgin Blue nearly two years to celebrate 5-million Guests, ten months to carry the second 5-million and less than 12 months to carry another 10-million people, it's a pretty remarkable milestone for an airline that hasn't yet reached its fourth birthday."
Today will be a double celebration for Virgin Blue which not only carried its 20-millionth passenger, but also reached new heights in on-time* performance with a figure of 93% for the month of March.
Brett Godfrey continued, "I am very proud of our dedicated team that has not only worked day and night to ensure as many travellers as possible have access to genuine and sustainable low fares, they have also pioneered new standards in on-time* performance for Australian airlines."
It has been a busy start to the year for Virgin Blue which has announced new services between Sydney-Ballina/Byron Bay, Melbourne-Proserpine and Newcastle-Brisbane, as well as launching direct services between Melbourne–Darwin that took off this week.
The airline has also ramped up services to a number of key regional areas including Townsville, Cairns and most recently Rockhampton, where the need for convenient and affordable air travel has been overlooked by other domestic air carriers.
"We are very fortunate to be one of the few airlines expanding in the current fiercely competitive global climate and we will remain committed to our high quality, low fare model as we continue to grow our network across the country and overseas", Brett Godfrey finished.
In celebration of today's milestone, the 20-millionth Guest will receive a surprise Virgin Blue show-bag including flight vouchers, 12 month Blue Room membership, champagne, cap, beer cooler, playing cards and Dreamworld passes.

The Douglas County School District plans an average 4 percent pay increase for teachers in 2013-14, one of several good-news budget recommendations announced May 7.
But under the district's new pay-for-performance program, not all teachers are guaranteed an increase. Teachers rated "ineffective" would not get more money, according to DCSD.
Pay for performance is "a bit of a change from the past," said school board president John Carson. "But we expect, by and large, teachers are going to do well under (pay for performance), so on average it's going to be 4 percent."
DCSD cites the improving state economy and in-district savings for allowing the budget changes, which also include more money for students and the elimination of a $25 parent-paid technology fee.
The expected state-provided per-pupil revenue will increase by about $165 per student. The district also will add its own money to that pot for a total funding increase of $200 per student, which totals $11.2 million.
"We're going to be able to put $200 more (per student) into the classrooms because we've found efficiencies in the overall budget, so we can do even a little better than what we're getting from the state," Carson said.
DCSD plans to cover the $2.2 million annual increase in contributions to the Public Employees Retirement Association of Colorado, and the $1.2 million increase in medical plan costs for all teachers.
That leaves $12 million — or 4 percent — for salaries, half of which will be a permanent pay increase and the other half a one-year, one-time bump.
"This will be our second consecutive year of raises after a number of years where the economy didn't allow for raises," Carson said. "Now we're back on track to where we think we'll be able to continue giving our teachers regular raises."
How much — or whether — each teacher's paycheck will grow hinges on a complex set of factors. DCSD's new, controversial evaluation system categorizes an educator's teaching style on a range from "highly effective" to "ineffective." Pay increases are based in part on that rating.
Pay also is determined by a teacher's placement on the market-based pay scale. It established a salary range based on subject matter, with higher salaries given to those who provide instruction in more complex or specialized areas.
For instance, a social studies or business teacher falls into a lower-paying salary band than a science or Chinese language teacher.
The two scales are tightly enmeshed. So while a teacher who is rated highly effective will get a bigger salary boost than one rated less effective, a teacher rated highly effective who is paid at a below-market rate would get a larger raise than one rated partially effective but already paid at an above-market rate.
Further complicating the calculations is the four-year salary freeze teachers endured during the deepest point of the recession.
"Part of the evaluation of the below-market and above-market has to do with the pay freezes," said DCSD spokeswoman Cinamon Watson. "If somebody was hired four years ago, their pay was frozen for four years, and we've since hired people at salaries above them, we need to catch those folks up."
The budget is scheduled for adoption in June.

ATLANTA – This city is rich in the history of the civil rights movement.
One thing I love about my house in the historic West End is that I can drive from Interstate 285 and travel on streets named for giants of the movement: Martin Luther King Jr. Drive, Ralph David Abernathy Boulevard and Joseph E. Lowery Boulevard.
King was born in Atlanta. Abernathy died here in 1990. Lowery lives here. Their wives, Coretta Scott King, Juanita Abernathy and Evelyn Lowery, all played prominent roles in the movement.
Julian Bond and John Lewis have deep Atlanta connections, as does C.T. Vivian, who received a Presidential Medal of Freedom in November. Hosea Williams died here in 2000. The airport bears the name of Maynard Jackson, first black mayor of a major Southern city.
And on and on.
Yet until now, Atlanta had no civil rights museum. That changes Monday when the National Center for Civil and Human Rights opens downtown.
I wondered about the omission. So I sat down with another Atlanta giant of the movement, Andrew Young. He was one of King's top aides and was with him in Memphis when he was assassinated in 1968.
"We haven't had a civil rights museum before because I see a museum as celebrating history, and most of us still wanted to make history," he said. "I was not excited about a museum until I began to realize that the museum was not a celebration of a past. It was an attempt to share lessons with the future."
Then it made sense. Atlanta, "the Black Mecca," is a magnet for African-American strivers because of the possibilities offered by its thriving black middle class. It owes much of its success to the gains of the civil rights movement.
Yet for those who shaped the racial transformation of the city and the nation, the movement wasn't just something they did. It's who they are. They left home in their teens or early 20s, often against the express wishes of their parents, and put themselves in harm's way to hold the nation accountable. A fundamental sense of fairness and justice has to be part of your core for you to do that, and it's not something from which you retire.
Lewis, who was beaten senseless on "Bloody Sunday" in Selma, Ala., in 1965, is a U.S. congressman. Bond led the NAACP for more than a decade and is a valued voice on human rights. Williams led dozens of protests against police brutality, and his group feeds thousands of homeless people every year.
Young went on to be a U.S. congressman, first black U.S. ambassador to the United Nations and Atlanta mayor. He landed the 1996 Summer Olympics and helped Atlanta become an international city. Fittingly, Andrew Young International Boulevard is in the heart of the downtown commercial district.
He leads the Andrew Young Foundation, which seeks global strategies for fighting poverty and spreading international understanding about America's non-violent revolution. He's 82, and he moves more slowly, like a lion in winter.
I have a photograph of him and Lowery sitting shoulder-to-shoulder in an Atlanta courtroom in April. It was a hearing on whether to proceed with the trial of the city's former schools superintendent, Beverly Hall, accused of masterminding massive teacher cheating but gravely ill with breast cancer.
Young interrupted the proceedings to ask for mercy for Hall. He said the city had been through enough. The trial was delayed until August.
Winter lions, perhaps, but still roaring. Still too busy making history to celebrate it.

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. — Douglas Kennedy was acquitted Tuesday of charges that he endangered his newborn son and harassed nurses who tried to stop him from taking the boy outside Northern Westchester Hospital in Mount Kisco.
"It is abundantly apparent that the nurses understood it was not the intent of defendant to leave the hospital with the child and not return," Town Justice John Donohue wrote in his decision, which followed a five-day nonjury trial. "It was clear that the defendant was going outside the hospital on an unseasonably warm winter evening for a short period and then returning with the child."
Kennedy, 45, a Chappaqua resident and the second-youngest son of the late Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, faced a misdemeanor charge of endangerment of a child and two counts of physical harassment against the nurses, stemming from a Jan. 7 incident at the maternity ward.
Kennedy's lawyer, Robert Gottlieb, said after the decision, "We've spoken to Douglas and (his wife) Molly, and they are thrilled that this nightmare has finally come to an end. They are thrilled with the judge's verdict. They now want to move on with their lives, enjoy their family and have a great Thanksgiving."
Gottlieb said the entire case was built on lies told by the two nurses, Anna Margaret Lane and Cari Luciano, who he said were motivated by money. A lawyer for the nurses, Elliot Taub, has said he is considering a civil lawsuit against Kennedy.
"The attorney for the nurses can do whatever the heck he wants to do," Gottlieb said, but encouraged the lawyer to read the judge's ruling exonerating Kennedy. "There's little chance that these nurses now will ever see a dime in the case."
Gottlieb also blasted the Westchester District Attorney's Office for pursuing criminal charges, saying this amounted to an abuse of the justice system.
Lucian Chalfen, spokesman for the District Attorney's Office, would not comment.
The incident began when Kennedy, a Fox News reporter, told nurses that he wanted to take his then-2-day-old son, Bo, out to see the moon and to get some fresh air.
Nurses told him that he couldn't, but prosecutors say Kennedy insisted on going anyway and ended up kicking one nurse, Luciano, as she reached for the baby.
The other nurse, Lane, claimed Kennedy twisted her arm.
The confrontation was captured on surveillance tape.
Taub released the tape publicly, but the judge cited the video in clearing Kennedy, Gottlieb noted.
The two nurses said they were just doing their job when they tried to stop Kennedy, but the judge disputed their version of events.
"The testimony of the nurse Anna Margaret Lane that the defendant twisted her arm to turn the knob to open the door is not supported by any evidence except her own testimony," Donohue wrote in his decision.
"Nurse Luciano alleges that the defendant deliberately kicked her and caused her to fall," the judge continued. "The defense has argued that the contact between the defendant and nurse Luciano was a spontaneous response by the defendant to prevent nurse Luciano from removing the baby from his arms while he was proceeding backwards through the door. The court finds such explanation consistent with the defendant's demeanor throughout the period of this incident.
"It has been held that where conduct is clearly spontaneous in nature and not thought out in advance, the intent on the part of a defendant to annoy or alarm the victim is not present," Donohue concluded. "Accordingly, the court finds the defendant not guilty."
The hospital confrontation resulted in a series of alarms, including a code pink, which is used to signal a baby's abduction. In his closing argument, Gottlieb called the alarm "preposterous."
He said the nurses overreacted to Kennedy's request and when they realized the hospital would investigate, they decided to "get their stories straight and pressure the District Attorney's Office to bring charges."
He said they had been told that any lawsuit for damages would have a better chance if a criminal conviction came first.
"It's an embarrassment that two nurses would so blatantly lie," Gottlieb said.
Assistant District Attorney Amy Puerto has said that the fact that Bo was uninjured was a "miracle." She said Kennedy "resorted to violence instead of simply complying with a request."
A state investigation, including a visit to the Kennedy home, found no evidence of child abuse.
Taub, the nurses' lawyer, did not immediately respond to a call for comment Tuesday.
Kennedy is the 10th of 11 children of Robert and Ethel Kennedy. His father was assassinated in 1968.
Douglas Kennedy's sister-in-law, Mary Kennedy, hanged herself in May in Bedford. His sister, Kerry Kennedy, pleaded not guilty to drug-impaired driving after an accident on Interstate 684.

Reist rond in
Zoé is an average little girl. She is bored yet curious, and she longs for the fun and excitement she believes lie just beyond her reach.
Lost behind his newspaper, ensconced in his den, Father will eventually open his eyes to find himself among his family and loved ones once again.
Feeling alienated, Mother will soon rediscover the intense feeling of being alive through pain and courage, play and love.
With his tragically spare hairdo, Mark is a different kind of ringmaster. He is eerie yet charming: part television personality and part substitute teacher with his own renegade lesson plan, a circumnavigator on a mysterious journey.
Grace in motion, the Target chooses to live in empty space, present and absent at the same time, a companion to the lost girl for a little while.
Boum-Boum is aggressive and physically fit. And yet, he is lifeless, as though his body lives on only because his soul refuses to leave it.
The Clown brings a contemporary vision of clowning. With subversive, crazy audience participation numbers, he tells his own story, bringing to Quidam the joyful, burlesque, and liberated language of clown. This colorful, brash, and crazy world reminds us that the circus is forever a universal spectacle.
The Aviator has skeletal wings, but doesn't look quite ready to take off. Perhaps he doesn't know he has wings. Perhaps he knows, but can't fly. Perhaps, like Icarus, he has tried and failed. Or perhaps he simply wants to escape this world and its problems.

PwC's technology sector publication Preparing for success: 2014 IPO SEC comment letter trends – Technology, provides a comprehensive analysis of recent SEC staff comments issued to technology companies filing their IPO registration statements.
The last two years have seen record levels of IPO activity in the U.S. equity markets. In this year's edition of the publication, we have analyzed nearly 3,000 comments issued by the SEC staff to 49 technology companies whose IPO registration statements were declared effective between April 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014 and for which the IPO generated gross proceeds of at least $40 million. These companies represent the following subsectors: software & internet, computers & networking, and semiconductors. We have captured the areas that received the most comments from the SEC and provided examples of actual comments.

Click on the headings below to explore highlights of the publication.
We hope that the summary of trends from the SEC comment letters, along with specific examples of comments, will provide you with helpful insights and aid in your production of high-quality registration statements.
The sustained high volume of domestic technology IPOs may be due in part to the simplified registration framework established in 2012 by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act (JOBS Act) which was designed to provide companies with easier, more cost-effective access to capital markets, spur economic expansion and encourage job creation. Since the enactment of the JOBS act in early 2012, most technology companies entering the U.S. equity market have met the definition of an EGC, which is not surprising considering that the majority of IPO filers reported annual revenues of less than $250 million. Read about the special accommodations available to EGCs and which ones are most popular among them.
Eight foreign technology companies completed their IPOs in the U.S. in 2013 compared to just one in 2012. This trend is continuing with nine foreign technology companies completing their IPOs in the U.S. market to September 2014. Technology IPOs of Chinese companies made a comeback in the last quarter of 2013 with seven IPOs in the past 12 months raising gross aggregate proceeds of $1.1 billion, which likely reflects the pent up demand resulting from the IPO freeze in China that was lifted by the Chinese Securities Regulatory Commission in late 2013. Take a look at this year's edition of Preparing for success: 2014 IPO SEC comment letter trends – Technology for a comparison of the average offering size and average number of SEC staff comments for recent foreign and domestic technology IPOs.
Comments related to revenue recognition and stock-based compensation accounted for 17% of all SEC comments received by IPO registrants in the technology industry. Multiple-element arrangements, software licensing and services arrangements continue to be key areas of focus, but with continually evolving business models, SEC staff comments about gross or net revenue presentation are not unusual.
Early in 2014, the SEC staff revised the Financial Reporting Manual (FRM) guidance regarding a registrant's critical accounting estimates disclosures related to stock-based compensation prior to its IPO. Consistent with the revised guidance, we have seen a reduction in the amount of disclosure, re-focusing on the most important areas such as the methods and material assumptions used by registrants in determining the fair value of the company's common stock.

Register for this series at www.fortheloveofbees.com.
The Instructor
Les Crowder has been a beekeeper for over thirty years, teaching beekeepingmuch of that time. Over time, and after a lot of personal research and experimentation, he developed his own design of topbar hive. Interestingly, he discovered that the angles forming the bottom of a hexagon were ideal to house hives. Les is the current President of the NM Beekeepers Association. Working with Les is an experience in learning to love and respect honeybees. Students will come away from his classes with a strong ethical commitment to being caretakers of these amazing insects.

Steven Kawut, MD, MS
No two people are alike, and similarly no two patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are the same (even identical twins!). Different types of PAH can act differently; patients may be more or less sick, may feel differently and may respond to medicines differently. Even within each type of PAH, patients of various ages, men and women, and different races and ethnicities may have individual responses to treatment. In other more common heart and lung diseases, there are commonly distinct effects of treatment between men and women and patients of different races. To see if this is true in PAH, we performed a study of 1,130 patients with PAH who enrolled in one of the original clinical trials of endothelin receptor antagonists (ERAs) (e.g., bosentan, ambrisentan and sitaxsentan) to determine if men and women and non-Hispanic white and black patients with PAH responded similarly to these medicines.
We used data from the studies submitted to the Food and Drug Administration during the process to receive approval for these medicines. In these studies, patients were assigned to receive an active medicine for their PAH or a sugar pill (placebo) without knowing what they were receiving. Of the participants, 773 patients received the active medicine and 357 received a placebo. We separated the patients by whether they were male or female and whether they were white or black. (We didn't have enough patients of other races and ethnicities in the trials to perform similar analyses.)
When we compared the change in the six-minute walk distance between men and women in these trials, we found that women had a larger improvement in the walk distance in response to ERAs compared to men (difference between the two sexes of 30 meters), which was statistically significant. When we compared white and black patients, we found that white patients seemed to have a greater response to ERAs compared to black patients (difference between the two races of 44 meters). These findings were not explained by patients having different types of PAH, different walk distance at baseline, age, or other factors. When we performed similar analyses in the clinical trials studying other medications (such as phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors), we did not see these differences in six-minute walk response.
What do these results mean? Patients of different sex or race may have distinct responses to PAH treatments. This likely comes as no surprise to patients, who already know that each person may have more or fewer benefits or side effects in response to medicines compared to others. Since people are not the same, their treatment effects may also vary, even with drugs that work overall for PAH.
Why would men and women and white and black patients have a different response to ERAs? It is possible that the biology of PAH may differ between the sexes and races, and the effects of treatments which target that biology may differ as well. It is possible that the hearts and lungs of men are in some way different (or less responsive) compared to those of women. Men and women have different body size, composition and metabolism which could be an explanation. Variability in genetics between whites and blacks could explain the results. The environment, diet, exercise habits, and other aspects of daily life could also play a role.
There are several questions which this research does not answer. It is not known whether these or other drugs used for PAH act differently on more important outcomes, such as quality of life, time to worsening of the disease, or survival. The six-minute walk distance is only one measure of how well a patient is feeling. Other symptoms or limitations may not have been differentially affected between individuals.
At the current time, the results of this research should not lead to changes in treatment for patients with PAH. The best medicine or medicines for an individual can be identified only by a specialized medical team with extensive experience in caring for patients with PAH and the patient him- or herself. Oftentimes, it takes trial and error to identify the right therapy. The results of this study cannot replace the interaction of doctors, nurses and patients in determining the best individual treatment regimen.
Our study does provide some evidence that medicines for PAH may be more or less effective in certain groups. We should continue to work towards the goal of evidence-based, cost-effective "personalized medicine" in pulmonary hypertension, that is, providing the most effective treatment with the least side effects and cost for each patient.

Bills' Aaron Williams: "We're going to be a winning team"
by Joe Buscaglia
posted Jul 18 2014 1:42PM
The Buffalo Bills are entering a season that brings high hopes with both a head coach and quarterback in their second year with the team. Many within the orgainization believe the Bills have the talent to make the jump into the postseason, but national pundits and betting websites are still skeptical.
That doesn't seem to have an effect on starting safety Aaron Williams. He's used to the lack of respect since he's been in the National Football League.
"It's nothing new. It's every year. Everybody thinks we're just the same old Bills -- and that's fine with me," he said. "They think we're the same old Bills that every year everybody gets hyped up for an incredible season, then people get let down with a 6-win season. To me, I'm getting tired of it as well."
For many, the belief exists that you won't change the results unless you change the way you prepare. Williams is subscribing to that theory for 2014.
"We're not gonna play any games this year," the safety said. "To me, I'm getting tired of it as well. It's a new attitude I'm bringing to the table. We're going to be a winning team and we're gonna come out here with a new attitude and be aggressive, and bring this city more wins."
General manager Doug Whaley also welcomed the criticism and agreed that it was warranted, but is very clear in their designs to change that perception.
"They should. We haven't done anything. We've got a lot to prove," Whaley remarked. "Like Russ [Brandon] said, we won't hide from it. We haven't been to the playoffs in a long time, and we owe it to the fans, our late owner and everybody in this business to show that we're not the Bills anymore. We want to be a playoff team and we're planning to be a playoff team, and that's our goal."
As Williams, Whaley and the rest of the team knows, talk is cheap unless one actually goes out and does what they say they will on the field. Fans will get their first glimpse of that new attitude on Sunday during the team's first practice of training camp at St. John Fisher College.

Proposed project development on BLM public lands requires analysis under the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) and the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). FLPMA requires that the BLM develops and maintains Resource Management Plans (RMPs) for its managed public surface and mineral estate. Regulations under FLPMA also state that proposed on-the-ground actions must be consistent with an RMP's decisions. NEPA ensures that the BLM (and other Federal agencies) consider the impact of a proposed action on the quality of the human environment before a decision is made to proceed.
Two types of NEPA documents, the Environmental Assessment (EA) and the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS), are required to involve some level of public involvement if not formal comment periods. Proposed federal actions or projects can be found in the NEPA Project Log.
NOTE: Beginning in Fiscal Year 2016, all new NEPA analysis documents and land use plans for areas under the jurisdiction of the NSD will be initiated on the BLM ePlanning register website, located at https://eplanning.blm.gov/epl-front-office/eplanning/nepa/nepa_register.do
Any NEPA analysis documents and land use plans initiated prior to Fiscal Year 2016 will continue to be listed by fiscal year and available on the NEPA Log links below.
These logs track the start and completion of BLM's review of actions under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). For some actions BLM may request public input during comment periods initiated through official notifications (i.e., direct mailing, local and/or state newspapers, Federal Register Notices). However, interested parties are also encouraged to check this site to ensure adequate time for comment on specific NEPA documents, especially for cases when an official public comment period is not planned. When timely comments are received they will be considered during the NEPA analysis and decision-making process. Please feel free to provide comments to or request information from e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com or this contact telephone number (414) 297-4408. Any comments should include the reference number for the proposed action.
NOTE: Reference Numbers preceded by an asterisk indicate environmental analyses documents currently under formal 30-day comment period. See "ES Oil and Gas Lease Sale Nominated Parcels" at: http://www.blm.gov/es/st/en/prog/minerals/nominated_parcels.html to view these documents, provide comments, and for more details.
NEPA documents are categorized by fiscal year (Oct. 1 - Sept. 30).

Emery County has been put on the map with the news leaking out last year on the archaeological discoveries at Range Creek. The Utah Museum of Natural History is bringing the first Range Creek exhibit to the John Wesley Powell River History Museum in Green River for one year. The kickoff event was held on March 10. Students from Book Cliff Elementary attended the event for some hands on fun with museum presenters.
The students learned about nature's grocery store and explored the use of plants in the Fremont world. The students learned how to grind corn and the chores involved with gathering enough food each day to exist. Ephraim Dickson, director of Education for the Utah Museum of Natural History discussed hunting practices and tools used among the Fremont. Students learned about tanning hides and scraping them with rock scrapers.
Julie Hansen, cultural anthropologist, explained how the Fremont used pottery in their everyday lives and how they made pots by collecting clay and mixing it with sand or crushed rocks to make it stronger. Sometimes they painted the pottery. The pots were baked in the sun. The clay was coiled around and around like a snake and formed into a pot. The pot was smoothed with a rock inside and out. The students saw pots made in the Fremont era and baskets.
Dickson explained how the trash piles the Indians left behind tell a lot about the way they lived. Chris Lyon, geologist, showed the children some rock art and figurines. She told them the use of the figurines isn't known at this time. The children speculated on the use of the figurines with answers like, "maybe they were used for snuggling," or "maybe they represent people who have died," or "maybe they protected the corn." No one knows for sure and one guess is as good as another as the children thought about the ancients and their way of life.
Sharon Hughes' first grade class will write stories about the Indians and the things they have learned about them.

Richland police arrest man suspected of assault
Richland police officers arrest a 35 year-old man suspected of pulling a knife on his girlfriend.
Officers say the incident happened at a home on Saturday night around 9:14 PM.
Police arrived at the house after receiving a domestic violence call, but they say the suspect, Isidro Iniesta-Martinez, had already left.
While officers were searching for him, they were dispatched back to the house again.
Officers were advised that Iniesta-Martinez had a knife and screaming could be heard, then the line went dead.
Police say when they arrived back at the house, Iniesta-Martinez saw them and ran.
After a short foot pursuit, police arrested Iniesta-Martinez.
He was booked into the Benton County Jail on suspicion of second degree assault and resisting arrest.

Our Flag Flying Proudly One Nation Under God

Lord, Please Bless Our Troops, They're fighting for our Freedom.

God Bless Our Republic
I pledge allegiance to the Flag

Prayers going up
When butterflies hatch at Frederik Meijer Gardens in Grand Rapids, Michigan, they do so in an indoor tropical paradise perfectly suited to meet their every need. The temperature is perfect. The humidity is perfect. The food is a perfect balance of calories and nutrition to keep them healthy. No need to go elsewhere. Yet some butterflies see the bright blue sky outside the conservatory and spend their days fluttering near the glass ceiling far away from the plentiful food supply.
I want to say to those butterflies, Dont you know everything you need is inside? The outside is cold and harsh, and you will die within minutes if you get what you are longing to have.
I wonder if that is the message God has for me. So I ask myself, Do I look longingly at things that would harm me? Do I use my energy to gain what I dont need and shouldnt have? Do I ignore Gods plentiful provision because I imagine that something just beyond my reach is better? Do I spend my time on the fringes of faith?
God supplies all our needs from His riches (Phil. 4:19). So instead of striving for what we dont have, may we open our hearts to gratefully receive everything weve already been given by Him.
Read: Philippians 4:10-20
Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...how was your snowy day? Traffic?
I am home early and will be home til I can find someone to come in during the day to provide care for my Dad. He has gone downhill fast since Friday and my Mom can't care for him while I'm at work.
Thank you for this evenings thread of our finest Kathy! *Hugs*
Can hospice help? Sending you lot's of support & love!
Oh! So sorry to read that your dad's health seems to be degrading and pray that someone is found to help you and your mom take care of him in a manner that you would approve of!
God rest the soul of a hero!
Greeting Kathy,...((HUGS))
Thanks for the prayers. This stage happened so fast...I wasn't ready. I got the email addy for hospice and will call them in the morning.
I'll start calling the in-home care folks in the morning. My folks get a little newspaper called the Senior Voice and I cut out 7 ads for in-home care. Hopefully I can get someone to come and access right away.
...and my Senator Ted Cruz! They are rock stars!!!
Hi!There Kathy.I hope you survived winter so far without any major problems.
We had a major Blizzard here and got 3 feet of snow a couple of weeks ago.So far most of that has melted.I sure look forward to getting this stuff over with once and for all.
Ted has been far more steadfast than I ever could have imagined.
The man seems unflappable.
I am sorry to hear that.
HUGZ and a prayer.
He is totally amazing!
Mark Levin was sure happy about what he was hearing.
Do they have the fortitude to continue? I sure hope so. God Bless them!
The pubs have done nothing but give in for a long time.
The old guard must be chapped to see the young guns landing blows on this administration.
We have some new junior senators that have passion for the constitution...and they've been at it for 10 1/2 hours so far. :)
Hi & bye, Kathy. Gotta rush home before our snowstorm. (Aren't I a wimp compared to Alaskans?)
Well, shucks! Most of them were at dinner with obama! I'm really ticked at the ones who went to that!
They were....Graham, Corker, Ayotte, McCain, Coats, Coburn, Burr, Johanns, Toomey, Johnson, Hoeven, and Chambliss....just so you know.
I now feel represented! For the first time in 4 1/2 years! :)
I had forgotten about that sideshow.
Good morning, Mooch...safe journey. Stay nice and cozy!
Spring is trying to make an appearance here.
We need to start taking names and taking out the trash!
I can't wait for the young guns to put the "cavers to everything dim" out to pasture. As if there was any respect still to lose, it makes me sick that the "cavers" went to dinner with the scumbag. They are too stupid to ever get the fact that if his lips are moving it's a lie.
