GOUSABID.com Records One Millionth Supporter For Bid to Host FIFA World Cup in 2018 or 2022 In The United States
NEW YORK (September 2, 2010) – The USA Bid Committee today announced that the campaign's website, GoUSAbid.com, reached the milestone of one million supporters of the United States' effort to win the right to host the FIFA World Cup™ in 2018 or 2022. The United States reached the landmark less than one week before the FIFA Inspection Delegation arrives in the United States for its review of the proposed stadiums, training sites, FIFA Fan Fest venues, transportation, and other components of the U.S. bid.
"To reach one million supporters through our grassroots campaign is yet another important indicator that our country is passionate about soccer and the World Cup," said Sunil Gulati, president of U.S. Soccer and chairman of the USA Bid Committee. "The effort that was put together by all of our 18 candidate host cities, our federation, state soccer associations and our professional clubs to help us reach this initial milestone as a nation is commendable. We are looking forward to continuing to develop this platform in the upcoming months leading up to FIFA's decision."
After obtaining 750,000 signatures, the stretch drive to one million began on July 1 after U.S. Men's National Team star Landon Donovan – a member of the Bid Committee Board of Directors – encouraged fans to gather the final 250,000 signatures before December 2, when FIFA will announce its decision on the hosts for the 2018 and 2022 World Cups. In an e-mail appeal to fans of soccer in the United States, Donovan wrote: "One million signatures mean one million reasons for the U.S. to host the FIFA World Cup™. Help us reach our goal by spreading the word to everyone you know."
Demonstrating the impressive support and passion for the game in the United States, the U.S. bid collected those 250,000 signatures to get to one million supporters exactly three months ahead of schedule.
"Today is another proud day for soccer in the United States as one million fans – and counting – have joined the movement to bring the World Cup back to the United States in 2018 or 2022," said Donovan. "I was amazed to see the reaction from the fans back home when we beat Algeria to win our group at the World Cup. Adding more than 250,000 petition signatures since that inspirational moment to surpass the million milestone at this point of our campaign shows that the passion for soccer and the World Cup is alive and well in the U.S."
Supporters from across the United States continue to display our country's passion for soccer through multiple actions on GoUSAbid.com. Additionally, support for the U.S. bid came from a national SMS text messaging campaign and via hand-signed petitions collected throughout the summer at soccer events nationwide as well as from state and local youth soccer organizations. Of the one million supporters of the bid to host the FIFA World Cup™ in the United States in 2018 or 2022:
- Over 70,000 constituents sent more than 488,000 emails using the "Tell-a-Friend" tool
- Over 1,300 watch parties for the 2010 World Cup were created, and all 32 World Cup teams had fan-specific watch parties created
- Over 20,000 people RSVP'd to attend the World Cup watch parties, with many more than that actually attending
With its online strategy and technology led by accomplished digital media consultants Blue State Digital, GoUSAbid.com was launched August 12, 2009 to serve as the online home for the U.S. Bid to host the FIFA World Cup™ in 2018 or 2022. The site is the nerve center for USA Bid Committee initiatives and communication leading up to FIFA's announcement of the host countries for the 2018 and 2022 World Cup on December 2, 2010.
The campaign for the United States to be selected as host of the FIFA World Cup™ in 2018 or 2022 moves to the next phase when the USA Bid Committee hosts the FIFA Inspection Delegation, Monday, September 6, to Thursday, September 9.
The six-person delegation will arrive in New York City on Monday, Sept. 6, ahead of a three-day visit of five U.S. cities representing the 18 candidate host cities of the United States bid – New York/New Jersey, Washington, D.C., Miami, Dallas and Houston. During this important tour, the FIFA Inspection Delegation will have the opportunity to experience firsthand some of the U.S. bid's proposed stadiums, training sites, FIFA Fan Fest venues, transportation, hotels, media facilities and much more.
Gulati and the USA Bid Committee will host the FIFA Inspection Delegation led by Harold Mayne-Nicholls, the president of the Chile Football Association. The FIFA Delegation also includes: Dr. Danny Jordaan, CEO of the 2010 FIFA World Cup local organizing committee in South Africa; Jürgen Müller, FIFA Head of Event Management; Wolfgang Eichler, FIFA Media Officer; David Fowler, FIFA Marketing; and Julio Avellar, FIFA Competitions.
Representatives of all 18 United States candidate host cities will be among the first people to greet the FIFA Delegation on Monday, Sept. 6, when they gather for a private reception at the St. Regis Hotel in New York City to celebrate the FIFA Delegation's arrival in the United States.
Other highlights of the tour include visits to proposed FIFA World Cup stadiums for all five markets, Red Bull Arena, home of the New York Red Bulls of Major League Soccer, and a number of proposed sites for FIFA World Cup related activities, such as Preliminary and Final Draws, FIFA Congress, International Broadcast Center and FIFA Fan Fests.
The USA Bid Committee will distribute a media wrap-up at the end of each day of the FIFA Technical Inspection Tour, detailing the activities in each one of the markets.
The USA Bid Committee on May 14 submitted to FIFA its comprehensive bid to host the FIFA World Cup in 2018 or 2022. The 24 member FIFA Executive Committee will make its decision on hosts for both tournaments on Thursday, Dec. 2, at FIFA's headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland.
Founded in 1913, U.S. Soccer has helped chart the course for soccer in the USA for more than 95 years as the governing body of the sport. In this time, the Federation's mission statement has been simple and clear: to make soccer, in all its forms, a pre-eminent sport in the United States and to continue the development of soccer at all recreational and competitive levels. To that end, the sport's growth in the past two decades has been nothing short of remarkable as U.S. Soccer's National Teams have continually succeeded on the world stage while also growing the game here in the United States with the support of its members. For more information, visit ussoccer.com.
The USA Bid Committee is a non-profit organization created to prepare a successful application to host the FIFA World Cup™ in 2018 or 2022 on behalf of the United States Soccer Federation. U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati is Chairman of the USA Bid Committee, David Downs is the Executive Director and President Bill Clinton is the Honorary Chairman of the Board of Directors that includes New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, comedian Drew Carey, former boxer Oscar De La Hoya, American soccer stars Landon Donovan and Mia Hamm, actor Morgan Freeman, Major League Soccer Commissioner Don Garber, former U.S. Secretary of State Dr. Henry Kissinger, director Spike Lee, actor Brad Pitt and California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. The U.S. Bid is supported by official sponsors American Airlines, AT&T and Fox Soccer Channel. The U.S. Bid includes 18 candidate host cities: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, Tampa and Washington, D.C. The U.S. Bid also features 21 currently existing stadiums, 18 of which have been built or renovated in the last 20 years and all of which are in compliance with FIFA requirements. With an average capacity of more than 76,000 spectators, the stadiums in the U.S. Bid offer the availability of a World Cup-record five million tickets that would generate $1 billion in ticket sales.

School officials and parents in District 13 know that standardized testing is here to stay. The question, they say, is how to properly prepare students for the tests while still providing them with a well-rounded education.
State testing was one of the major topics of discussion at the district's annual Educational Planning meeting last Saturday morning at the James A. Dever School. Administrators, Board of Education trustees, teachers and community members gathered for a two-hour discussion of the state of the district's academic programs and a look at the changes ahead.
Superintendent Dr. Adrienne Robb-Fund showed examples of questions on state tests from 2005 and sample questions for the tests that will be given in April, and noted how much more complex the questions are now. Students not only have to get the answers right, but also show their work in order to get full credit.
In addition to the state English Language Arts and math tests, which are given to all third- through sixth-grade students, they are assessed throughout the year to monitor their progress. Robb-Fund said that all of these tests, which are either from approved testing companies or created by the district, are aligned with the new Common Core Learning Standards.
Board of Education Trustee Bill Stris said that the advanced skills associated with Common Core are important. "We're in competition with the world," he said. "Our kids, in order for them to have a standard of living, they're going to need to be able to do this."
Robb-Fund also said that individual student data from the assessments are used to make instructional decisions in the classroom. Now more than ever, she explained, teaching is data-driven.
Last year, the district met its Annual Yearly Progress goals on the state tests, but, Robb-Fund said, district officials were still disappointed with the results. All four schools, she said, were rated as either effective or highly effective. The Dever school, which takes in students from Malverne, was the lone school rated highly effective.
Board member Frank Chiachiere said he fears that the "drill and kill" mentality of preparing high school students for Regents exams has worked its way down to the elementary level, and he is concerned that teachers might be teaching to the tests.
Robb-Fund said that teachers do their best to find a balance, but noted that they do have to prepare students for both the format and length of the test.
In order to provide students with a well-rounded education, District 13 officials said, it important to maintain a strong music and art program. Dever school Principal Darren Gruen noted that a vast majority of fourth-, fifth- and sixth-graders participate in band, orchestra or chorus.
Foreign language
Much of Saturday morning's discussion focused on 21st century skills, and one of those skills is the ability to speak more than one language.
Students typically do not begin foreign language instruction until junior high school, but District 13 officials and parents say they would welcome a program at the elementary level. The problem, Robb-Fund said, is money.
"We all know that interest is there," she said. "If we want our kids to compete in a global society, we would love for them to speak more than one language."
She said that, as an educator, she supports an elementary foreign language program, but can't support it in an era of stagnant or declining resources for schools. The best idea, she said, would be for the PTA to offer after-school language clubs, or perhaps Saturday programs. But adding it to the regular curriculum, she concluded, isn't realistic.
Board President Jeanne Greco Jacobs said that there needs to be a discussion of what languages to teach, and that the focus should be on languages that would most benefit students in the future, such as those of emerging economies, and not necessarily the languages that have been traditionally taught at the secondary level.
Robb-Fund said that every classroom in the district has at least four computers and a SmartBoard. There is also a computer lab in each school, as well as several mobile laptop carts.
Students are now being taught keyboarding, also considered a 21st century skill. Robb-Fund said that while many children can type using the "hunt and peck" method, they don't know the proper way to use all 10 fingers.
She also said that officials would soon visit some other districts that are using tablets in classrooms, such as the iPad, as learning tools, in the hope of incorporating them into District 13's technology arsenal in the future. Additionally, Robb-Fund spoke about possibly purchasing some electronic textbooks.
The Educational Planning meeting was the first step in the preparation of the district's 2013-14 budget. The annual building tour, to review potential capital projects and other repairs, is scheduled for Dec. 8.

A Beginner's Guide to Free Software Programming Languages
Of King C and Friendly Python
Curious about programming, but having trouble getting started because you're confused about all those languages? This article will give you an overview of the most common desktop languages you'll see in free software today.
C and C++
You might call C the king of Linux programming languages. It's the primary language used in the Linux kernel, in most of the GNU command-line utilities (programs like ls and grep) and in a lot of larger desktop applications like GIMP.
C++ is a later extension of C: It adds a lot of new features which make the language either easier to use, or more bloated and complicated, depending on whom you ask.
They're both "compiled" languages, which means you need a "compiler" program (typically gcc) to translate your C or C++ program to machine language before you can run it. They also tend to lack modern features like string handling and memory management, which means they're not the best choice for most first-time programmers.
If C and C++ aren't good starting points, what is? It's a matter of taste, but my first choice would be Python.
Python isn't as low-level or as lightning-fast as C, but most of the time that's really not very important. What is important is that Python has a very clean syntax that makes debugging easy.
Python has one oddity compared to most other languages: the spaces you add to indent each line are significant, and you have to be consistent in how many spaces you add. That sounds like it would make it fiddly and difficult, but in practice it ensures that even beginners write code that will be fairly easy to read a year from now. No other language does that.
Python also has a good set of standard libraries, so lots of tools you might need are already there, and the online documentation at python.org is very helpful.
What's the bad news? Mainly that Python's syntax is about to change. Right now, most distros offer either Python 2.5 or 2.6, but Python 3.0 has already been introduced and a number of things that used to work are now done differently. Most existing books and Web tutorials are still for Python 2, but it's worth checking out the differences so you learn good habits.
Perl is another good choice. It's much older than Python and fairly similar in power and speed. It has some significant advantages over Python. First, there's an absolutely amazing collection of libraries, called the Comprehensive Perl Archive Network (CPAN). Virtually anything you can think of to write in Perl is probably already mostly written and available in CPAN. Second, there's a very active Perl community so it's easy to find a Perl guru if you need help, and there's a wealth of books and online talks to aid your Perl adventures. Third, lots of software is already written in Perl (lots of examples to help you out).
The disadvantage? Perl syntax is much less clean -- "There's more than one way to do it" is the Perl programmer's mantra -- so reading other people's Perl can be difficult. Sometimes even reading your own Perl is difficult. Non-Perl programmers refer to it as a "write-only language" and they're only half joking.
Ruby is sort of an object-oriented Perl. It has a relatively clean syntax and is supported by an enthusiastic community. It's most popular for Web servers in the "Ruby on Rails" framework, where it's used instead of Java, but it's increasingly showing up in Linux desktop applications as well. There's a lot of good online Ruby documentation as well as books.
You may notice that I didn't list Java or PHP. Why not? Because they're primarily used to write software that runs Web servers. Java (which despite the name has nothing to do with JavaScript) is sometimes used to write desktop applications or cellphone games, but it's relatively complex and I don't recommend it as a first langauge. PHP is a little simpler, but it isn't used much outside Web servers and for most beginning programmers, you're better off with another language.

Rusty's Mom here: Today started out being a very bad day. I cried from the time I got up this morning, I don't know why, but I was just feeling the loss of Rusty so much. Then the vet's office called. Rusty's remains were ready to be picked up. I didn't know how I would feel, and I was already being torn about what to do with him. Should I bury him in his favorite place in the yard or should I just keep him close to me? Well, I didn't realize this, but he came back in a very nice wooden box. They made me a cast of his paw print, which made me cry again. But, I decided for now that he should be on his window ledge where he always sat and watched outside. So, that's where he is.
Thank you everyone for all your kind comments and thoughts. I cried while reading them but they let me know how much Rusty was loved by so many friends here.

Rusty - Sad News
Rusty's Mom here. I want to thank everyone for their purrs and prayers. Rusty was gently helped to the bridge this morning. I know he's there now with his brother Grady and his friend Fat Eric and all the other kitties that have gone before.
Last night we rushed him to the emergency vet when he could no longer walk. He began deteriorating rapidly after we took him to his regular vet yesterday evening. At the emergency vet he got more fluids and they gave me a nutritional supplement. They ran blood work on him and everything appeared to be pretty good, but still the fact remains that he was not doing good. I got him home and took him to the litter box and had to help him stay upright so he could go. This morning he couldn't even lift his head and I knew it was time. So, with my heart breaking, I called his vet and took him in.
When I'm feeling more up to it, I'll post a remembrance of him here, but for right now, I just have to get used to the idea of him being gone.
Thank you everyone for being here for me and Rusty.

Rusty Update
This is Rusty's Mom again. Thought I'd just let everyone know how Rusty's vet visit went. He wasn't horribly constipated, the vet said he could feel waste in his colon, but nothing of any large consequence and nothing that indicated he could have a blockage. Rusty was dehydrated so they gave him fluids. I was given some B-vitamins with iron and also an appetite stimulant for him. This vet told me to stop the lactulose since he felt it was adding to Rusty's dehydration and to add mineral oil to his food instead. So, we'll see how it goes.
Keep your purrs and prayers going for Rusty, I know that he and I really appreciate it.

Rusty Report
Hi, this is Rusty's Mom. I just wanted to let everyone know that today he is not doing real well. He hasn't eaten all day and he really looks like he doesn't feel very good at all. I can't get him into the vet until this evening and I'm not sure if he's just constipated again or if perhaps more is going on. My husband is convinced that his body is beginning to shut down, I don't know, I just feel all I can do right now is try to prepare myself for the possible worst. He has been around a very long time, much longer than I ever thought he would. All I can do at this point in time is tell myself that he's had a wonderful life and I've done all the best I could for him.
I ask that you keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Thanks.
I will try to keep you all posted as to what happens.

Mancat Monday
I'm still a pretty good mancat. I still explore and check out my yard on a regular basis. But, it's getting colder now and I don't like to go outside when it's cold, so every warmer sunny day I get outside when I can.
I have to tell you though. My Mom went away for a week to visit the Morgan-baby. She actually left me home alone all night for the first night because the house sitter was out of town until the next day! I was so mad at my Mom, first for leaving me for a whole week and then leaving me home alone! But, when she came back, I was so glad to see her. She also took me to the vet person before she left. So, that's three bad things... vet, home alone, gone for a week. But, the vet lady suggested Mom try to feed me something called toonafish if I don't eat (and I don't eat, I hate the food Mom gives me. All except for whipped cream, I still like that.) This toonafish stuff is good! Mom's not sure it's a good idea, but I like it and I eat it.
Rusty's Mom here. He did fine being home alone that first night. I was a bit concerned about it, he hasn't been left alone all night for years, not since he was much younger. But, he was ok.
The vet told me that his kidney value is up a little bit and his liver enzyme, alkaline phosphatase, was also up a little bit, but she said that it's nothing to be real concerned about yet. Rusty just doesn't want to eat much anymore. He leaves the cat food in the bowl and ends up eating maybe only 1/4 or less of a small can a day. I do worry about this not eating, but I'm not sure that feeding him tuna fish every day is also a good idea either. But, what do you do with an older cat? I guess I try to just give him as good a life as I can. He sleeps most of the day now so perhaps he doesn't need to eat much anymore. I fear that his time is getting shorter and I try to prepare myself for that eventual day. Then, when I think the time is drawing nearer, he does something remarkable for such an old cat as if to say, "I'm not dead yet".
Thanks everyone for visiting his blog, even though we don't post much anymore. I find it hard to write about him, when I'm worrying so much about him. You've all been such good friends to him.

A while back, we wrote up a piece on installing Windows to a solid-state drive and the reasons why everyone should at least consider doing it for the speed boost you'll get from it.
Windows Vista:
Back then, we went through a list of reasons why Windows users might be better off using Windows XP than Windows Vista when it came to installing to an SSD, not least of which the fact that Vista, well apart from the fact that a lot of people just didn't enjoy using it, wasn't really built for use with SSDs.
Thanks to the fact that Vista wasn't really made for use with SSDs, users who did opt to throw an install of it onto an SSD ended up seeing less of a performance boost than they might otherwise have. Moreover, because of the way that Vista uses the disk (which seems always assumed to be a standard hard drive) the OS itself can decrease the lifetime of the drive. It's not a dramatic difference, but it's something that most should be aware of.
So, in short, installing Windows Vista to an SSD probably isn't the best idea.

Apple's longstanding spat with Samsung has finally reached a conclusion. On Wednesday, Judge Lucy Koh of the District Court for the Northern District of California entered a preliminary injunction barring the sale of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the United States. The case has been percolating for some time, and is part of a broader strategy of litigation in which Apple accuses Samsung of "slavishly" copying its iOS devices and infringing on its design patents. The injunction can go into effect as soon as Apple posts a $2.6 million bond against possible damages in case Samsung's tablet is eventually found not to infringe; with well over $100 billion in the bank, few expect Apple to have any difficulty coming up with the bond.
Contrary to most accounts in the press right now, the injunction itself probably doesn't represent much of a problem for Samsung's tablet sales — although, of course, the company has already filed an appeal to get it set aside. However, the potential fallout from Judge Koh's ruling may be worrying the South Korean electronics giant… and those problems won't go away when the Galaxy Tab 10.1 disappears from the marketplace, whether through court orders or obsolescence.
What the judge said
Judge Koh's decision to grant Apple a preliminary injunction is actually the court's second go-around on this issue. Apple sued Samsung over the design of its Galaxy tablets and smartphones back in April 2011; the original suit alleged Samsung infringed on both technical and design patents owned by Apple. (Samsung countersued, but then dropped the countersuit, saying it would just address its case by refuting Apple's claims.) Judge Koh's court had previously found the Samsung Galaxy Tab to be substantially similar to both the original iPad and the iPad 2, at least to the "eyes of an ordinary observer." Claims of design patent infringement usually come down to an ordinary observer test — basically, whether someone familiar with previous products would assume two products are the same. Judge Koh rather famously asked Samsung's own counsel to distinguish between an iPad and their client's own Galaxy Tab 10.1 from a moderate distance. Guess what? Samsung's lawyers couldn't tell which was which either.
Nonetheless, Judge Koh originally denied Apple an injunction on Samsung's tablet on the assumption that Apple's design patent covering the iPad would eventually be found invalid. In the court's view, the design was likely too "obvious" to be patentable.
However, Apple appealed Judge Koh's initial ruling to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit — that court is in Washington D.C., rather than California, but they handle most appeals on patent cases. Somewhat surprisingly, back in May Apple won part of the appeal — specifically, the design patent covering the iPad. The appeals court ruled Judge Koh had erred in finding that Apple's design patent covering the iPad was likely to be found invalid, and sent the case back for additional review. (The appeals court also ruled that Judge Koh correctly denied preliminary injunctions on Samsung smartphones.)
The appeals court has three judges. Of them, only one (Judge Kathleen O'Malley) recommended that Judge Koh take immediate action on Apple's request for a preliminary injunction. The other two judges thought the district court should review the case and perform equitable analysis, but allowed that the process could be done quickly. At first, Judge Koh seemed to go along with the majority. Just this past Monday, she scheduled a hearing on the case for this Friday for further briefing and argument from Samsung and Apple.
However, instead of holding that hearing, Judge Koh cancelled it and granted Apple an immediate preliminary injunction on sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1, saying that it was "unnecessary" to spend more court time on hearing again from the parties. Koh's decision to grant the injunction seems to side with Judge O'Malley on the appeals court, who argued that public interest favored an immediate injunction.
"Although Samsung has a right to compete, it does not have a right to compete unfairly, by flooding the market with infringing products," Judge Koh wrote.
The preliminary injunction granted by Judge Koh covers only the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. It does not cover the Galaxy Tab 2, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.0, Samsung's "phablet" Galaxy Note, or any of Samsung's Galaxy smartphones — including the brand-new Galaxy S III.
Samsung's smartphones aren't entirely out of the picture, though. Judge Koh is due to rule on Apple's remaining challenge to the Galaxy Nexus smartphones on technical patents. If Apple wins an injunction there, it could have very broad consequences, since the patents at issue are probably also applicable to a very wide range of Android products.
Samsung's options
The District Court for Northern California isn't the first court to side with Apple against Samsung on the Galaxy Tab 10.1 — in fact, it's the third. The Düsseldorf Regional Court also granted Apple a permanent injunction against the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Germany, and Apple also won an injunction against the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in Australia — although that was eventually lifted. The Australian injunction had been based on technical patents; however, the Düsseldorf decision was made on design grounds, albeit not the same precise patent Apple is pressing against Samsung in the United States.
Samsung wasted no time filing an appeal of Judge's Koh's entering a preliminary injunction. The company had previously wanted to introduce new evidence into the case, including new claims of prior art and material regarding an iPad 2 prototype. Although some observers looked at those arguments as mainly a delaying tactic, Samsung will now likely also argue that Judge Koh's decision to grant a preliminary injunction runs against the majority opinion of the appeals court. For Samsung, the appeal is a chance to get that prior art and prototype information into the case — an effort which Judge Koh had previously denied.
In the meantime, Samsung has a more practical way to get around an injunction on the Galaxy Tab 10.1: Just change it. At this point, the product is already nearing the end of it's life cycle, and Samsung's more-recent designs (like the Galaxy Tab 2 and the Galaxy S III smartphone) feature trade dress that's more visually-distinct from Apple's iPhone. The Apple design patent at issue in the case is relatively restrictive, having to do with the all-black bezel surrounding the iPad's display.
Samsung can easily design around that. In fact, it already has with both the Galaxy Tab 10.1N and its newer Galaxy Tab 2. Samsung brought out the 10.1N in response to Apple's design patent injunction victory in Germany — the 10.1N features a silver frame around the tablet and a prominent Samsung logo. Of course, when Samsung introduced the Galaxy Tab 10.1N in Germany, Apple immediately filed for a preliminary injunction to block its sale, just like the original Galaxy Tab 10.1. But the Düsseldorf Regional Court already ruled that the 10.1N is sufficiently distinct from Apple's products that it doesn't violate Apple's designs or seek to compete unfairly against Apple due to similar appearance. Samsung already has the Galaxy Tab 10.1N and could bring it to the United States. Apple would probably challenge the 10.1N as well, but by the time that challenge wound its way through the courts, Samsung would more than likely have retired the product line anyway.
The perils of design patents
The most likely upshot of Judge Koh's ruling is that Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablets will disappear from retailers, to be replaced by another 10-inch Samsung tablet. Samsung could decide to the retire the product and focus on the Galaxy Tab II and launching whatever future Galaxy Tab products it has up its sleeves. Or Samsung could decide to bring the Galaxy Tab 10.1N to the United States market. Samsung could do both: perhaps offering the Galaxy Tab 10.1N as a competitor to things like the brand-new Google Nexus 7 and the iPad 2, while keeping its next-generation products focused on things like the iPad 3 and the upcoming Microsoft Surface products. In any case, Samsung is going to continue selling 10-inch tablets in the United States.
However, Samsung could find itself on a hook down the road. If Apple's patent covering the iPad design holds up — and, right now, that's looking promising for Apple — Samsung could eventually be found liable for design patent infringement. At that point, it won't matter how long the Galaxy Tab 10.1 has been off the market. Every penny Samsung ever earned on sales of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in the United States will be targeted by Apple. The companies will absolutely squabble over any damage award, but infringing on design patents can be hugely expensive — especially copying the design of a market-defining product like the iPad.
Furthermore, if Samsung is found to have infringed Apple's design patent, Apple will win a tremendous public relations victory. It will always be able to say "We innovated the tablet market; Samsung slavishly copied us." It's a black mark that would stick with Samsung's products for years — and one that Apple and its legions of loyal customers are not likely to let slip quietly into history.

Libertyville proudly returns with fourth-place hardware
By Joshua Welge
NORMAL -- Wide-eyed, big-smiled, Libertyville senior Kristen Webb didn't wear the look of a girl who just lost her last high-school match.
She knew her team left it on the line.
Going point-for-point with a program steeped in volleyball pedigree, the Wildcats fell to Mother McAuley 25-22, 25-22 in Saturday's Class 4A third-place match at Redbird Arena.
"I'm not upset right now. I'm so proud of these girls," Webb said. "We set a goal at the beginning of the year to get here. From Day 1 of practice we said we wanted to go to state. That just seemed so far off, so far away. We took those steps and made it a reality. I'm not sad."
Libertyville's fourth-place finish is the school's second trophy in state volleyball, matching the fourth from 2007. The Wildcats ended up their season 34-8.
"I'm proud of the girls," Libertyville coach Greg Loika said. "It didn't end the way they wanted it to end, but they made me proud, they made the town of Libertyville proud and they made our program proud."
Both games Saturday somewhat mirrored each other.
In both Libertyville got down midway through the games, fought back to take brief leads but couldn't quite finish.
In Game 1 McAuley (36-5) got ahead 11-6 on a kill by Courtney Joyce, and still led 19-17. Libertyville pulled even 19-19 on a pretty flick of a dump shot by setter Cindy Zhou, and went ahead 22-20 on consecutive McAuley errors.
Out of a timeout, though, Libertyville served into the net, then was whistled for two straight hitting errors. Kills by McAuley's Gabrielle Ennis and Maggie Scanlon ended it.
"Kind of been the story of our year," laughed McAuley coach Jen DeJarld.
McAuley broke out to an 11-7 lead in Game 2, three kills by Ryann DeJarld setting the tone. It got all the way to 19-15, before Libertyville answered with a 5-0 run, taking a 20-19 lead on back-to-back aces by Vicky Liu.
The two teams played to numerous long rallies during the stretch, Zhou and company repeatedly digging out McAuley hard hits. Zhou had 7 digs to go with her 16 asissts, Webb 20 digs.
"Our defense was crazy good," Loika said.
Tied at 22-22, McAuley grabbed the lead for good on an Ennis kill. Ennis, seldom-used in McAuley's last seven matches, came up huge with 5 kills.
"She's been champing at the bit," DeJarld said of her 6-foot middle, "and she did a wonderful job. She really gave us a lot of energy."
Julia Smagacz finished with 7 kills, Taylor Zant 4 and Rhiannon Prentiss 4 for Libertyville.
McAuley, playing five sophomores, won its 24th trophy in volleyball -- a state record.
The Wildcats could have conceivably won both their matches this weekend. On Friday they took the first set from eventual champion Benet, and led 15-10 in the second. Nobody could fault the girls' effort.
"We lost to two really great teams," Webb said. "Benet and McAuley, they're great teams and we fought hard. It could have gone either way."
"We should have no regrets," Zhou chimed in. "We played our hearts out."

Health informatics and information management graduate degree to be offered fall 2013
By Crystal Baity
ECU News Services
GREENVILLE, N.C. (May 18, 2012) — East Carolina University will offer a new master's degree program in health informatics and information management starting fall 2013.
The Department of Health Services and Information Management in the College of Allied Health Sciences recently received approval from the UNC Board of Governors for the program.
"We are extremely excited by this new degree program especially during a tough budget time," said Dr. Xiaoming Zeng, chairman of health services and information management.
ECU's will be the second health informatics graduate program offered in the UNC system. Dr. Paul Bell has been named director of the program.
"The main reason for training health information managers at the graduate level is to produce the leaders and experts in health informatics and information management," Zeng said. "The health care system is moving towards digitization and interconnectivity. Professions with in-depth knowledge about the interfacing and interaction between information technologies and health care systems will be needed to facilitate the process of change and ensure the quality of care in the new and highly automated and connected environment."
The latest Bureau of Labor Statistics data projects a 22 percent growth rate for medical and health services managers, which includes health information managers charged with maintenance and security of patient records.
Some 40,000 health informatics professionals are needed nationwide by 2016 in order to meet predicted growth from the adoption of electronic health care record systems, according to a workforce study published by the American Medical Informatics Association.
Currently there are 202 health information management job vacancies in North Carolina, up from 157 vacancies just a year ago, according to recent data from the Cecil G. Sheps Center for Health Services Research, Zeng said.
ECU's bachelor's in health information management has been successfully training administrators in the field for many years, Zeng said. "Now it is time to train leaders and experts for health informatics and information management. Graduate level education is appropriate for such training," he said.
ECU officials started the process in 2008 when the American Health Information Management Association set graduate education in health information management as one of its top priorities.
The master's degree will replace the bachelor's in health information management. Classes will be held on campus and online. A bachelor's in health services management still will be offered, Zeng said.
For more information on the new program, email Bell at
or call 252-744- 6171.

There's another group of people to feel sorry for besides the Lakers: Everyone who bet on them before this season.
The Lakers have tumbled from co-favorites to win the NBA championship to also-rans in the gambling world, going from 8-to-5 odds to 25-to-1 in some places.
The Lakers, longshots to win it all. Who would have guessed?
"It's a pretty good drop when you consider they're probably the most popular team as far as tickets written," said Jay Rood, vice president of race and sports for MGM Resorts International, which has the Lakers at 9-to-1 to win it all. Sportsbook.com has them at 25-to-1.
The Lakers now play Cleveland (300-to-1), owners of the NBA's second-worst record (9-29) and potential losing-streak busters if not for the fact they actually beat the Lakers last month. Kobe Bryant had a season-high 42 points, making 16 of 28 shots, and Dwight Howard had 19 points and 20 rebounds, but the Lakers still lost that night in Cleveland, 100-94.

No loyalty
Mr. Walter Sullivan in his letter to the Local of June 6th, entitled "CHCA remains loyal to residents" has either forgotten the facts, considers them irrelevant, or has chosen to ignore them.
He himself, both in the Local and at CHCA board meetings as president, has denigrated the motives, actions and character of those residents who have taken issue with recommendations of CHCA committees and with decisions of the CHCA board.
On controversial zoning and development issues in which nearby residents had concerns, the CHCA has not supported the residents for decades, supporting instead businesses or institutions..
Committees can provide valuable professional expertise, if they do their job. What they cannot do is to determine what quality of life is acceptable to residents.
What is best for the community as a whole is that the quality of life for its residents is maintained or improved. This serves the interest of all elements within the community: businesses, institutions, visitors and residents.

A solution to the raccoon problem
I just heard on the radio this morning (Monday) that City Council's Committee on Public Health and Human Services approved a bill that would order the city's animal control agency to capture raccoons. The raccoons would then be killed by the SPCA. It would make Philadelphia the only big city with an official procedure to capture and kill raccoons.
A spokesman from the SPCA said they do not have the money, time or personnel to carry out this stupid policy since they are already deluged with homeless dogs and cats.
I happen to think raccoons are beautiful animals that have as much right to live as we do, so I have a suggestion to make that would solve the problem. My solution is for the SPCA to trap and euthanize members of City Council. Then they could take all that DROP money from City Council members' estates and spend it to house homeless animals. It would be a win-win for the animals and the taxpayers.

Conservative finds Harris 'witty, witty'
I want to thank Jim Harris for his witty, witty contributions to our local press. My humble apologies for not writing this to you sooner – inexcusably lazy of me – since I have been chuckling for the past few months.
Today, however, I had to write to beseech Jim not to become a "female" (i.e. baking cakes, doing laundry, dusting, etc.) however much he may think this may endear him to the hardened feminists of Mt. Airy and Chestnut Hill.
I am one of the last conservatives in this area (just ask Len Lear; he nearly fell off his chair when he heard my views), and I like men to be men. At least Jim Harris refused to resign (over the exposure of his "cakes" in the June 16 issue). Keep it up, Jim. Your next step: a Robert Bly seminar. And who knows what happens after that? The sky's the limit, man!

SANTA FE SPRINGS >> A man died from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head early Wednesday in the parking lot of California Highway Patrol's Santa Fe Springs parking lot.
CHP notified the Whittier Police Department after finding the deceased man, according to Officer Brad White, Whittier's public information office.
"We received a call around 3:47 this morning, at which time CHP officers within their office heard a gun shot," White said. "They responded to the parking lot where they found an adult male with a gunshot wound to the head."
The Los Angeles County Department of Coroner could only describe the victim as a Latino male. No additional information was available.
The investigation seems to indicate the man committed suicide, White said.
"I can tell you that it was a self-inflicted wound, with a semi-automatic hand gun." he said.

Witnessing History
Vickie Berkow, a junior history major, attends the 57th Presidential Inauguration in Washington, D.C.
By Frank Radosevich II
January 23, 2013
Early Monday morning Vickie Berkow made her way to the nation's capital, weaving through crowds and security checkpoints, before finding her seat in Section 11 at the 57th Presidential Inauguration.
There, along with some one million other spectators, she witnessed history as President Barack Obama was sworn in for his second term.
"It was great. I had such an amazing time," Berkow said. "I was lucky that I had a seat."
Berkow, a junior history major, was in Washington, D.C. to participate in The Washington Center's seminar, "Inside Washington." For two weeks, she talked about news coverage with media experts, met students from across the nation, toured some of the country's best museums and caught a glimpse of the president.
"D.C. is a very interesting place. It's a fast-paced city that's the center of many things," said Berkow, a native of Arlington Heights, Ill.
At the inauguration, Berkow was fortunate to receive tickets from the office of U.S. Rep. Aaron Schock '02. Whereas her friends from the Washington Center program had to wake up early to secure a spot at the ceremony, Berkow's ticket guaranteed her a seat in front of the U.S. Capitol. She was able to view the presidential swearing-in ceremony led by Chief Justice John Roberts, followed by Obama's inaugural speech.
Each year, students participate in The Washington Center seminars to get an inside look at the federal government while earning course credit at Bradley. The experiential learning opportunity brings education to life and is a chance for these active student leaders to see how a leadership position at Bradley might develop into a long-term commitment to public service.
In D.C., Berkow heard from leaders in the media industry, including the founder and head of C-SPAN Brian Lamb and Owen Ullmann, the deputy managing editor for news at USA Today, who told her to follow her dreams.
"It was reassuring to hear an editor from USA Today say that to me," she said.
She also visited the Newseum, a museum dedicated to journalism, and other sights around the capital. Berkow, who works for the Bradley Scout, said the speakers and visits reaffirmed her career interests in the working for a museum or in the news industry. The program, she said, is well worth a student's time.
"Whether you are interested in spending 10 days or a whole semester, I would definitely encourage people to explore The Washington Center program," she said.

The U.S. Forest Service is calling for evacuations of at least 30 to 40 homes threatened by a wildfire in southwestern Colorado.
Fire officials said Wednesday that the fast-moving fire six miles southeast of Mancos is burning on more than 100 acres near where the Weber Fire burned earlier this year.
Meanwhile, crews are trying to keep another fire in southwest Colorado from spreading toward houses at Vallecito (vy-uh-SEE'-toh) Reservoir. Fire officials say high winds pushed the fire toward the reservoir in the afternoon, and about 20 homes have received pre-evacuation notices. Air and ground crews weren't able to attack the fire directly Wednesday. It is estimated at 200 to 250 acres.
In northern Colorado, Rocky Mountain National Park officials say activity at the Fern Lake Fire has remained low.

LAS VEGAS -- On Friday morning, an employee at Vince Whibbs Automotive Group in Pensacola, Fla., headed out to pick up the retailer's latest used-car acquisition -- in Atlanta, a six-hour drive away.
How did the dealership group find the car? Craigslist. The online classified service has been a growing source of used cars for the last six months, dealer principal Mark Whibbs told me.
"There's not a dealer out here who's not looking for better ways to acquire used cars, I promise you," said Whibbs, who was looking forward to an NADA workshop on the subject.
Craigslist is just one tool Whibbs is using. He also is casting the net wider with online auctions, which he used to buy some Pontiac Vibes in Philadelphia last week. And Whibbs said he tries to spot for-sale-by-owner cars parked along the road on the way to work every day.
Three years ago, trade-ins made up 70 percent of his used-car stock. That's down to 40 percent today.
Of course, those numbers point to what dealers see as the ultimate solution: Increase new-car sales and bring those trade-in numbers back up. That's something every dealer will sign up for.

Camden Real Estate Company
(207) 236-6171
A childhood in Southern California, a stint in Vietnam compliments of the U.S. Navy, 12 years teaching high school English, and pretty soon you have the makings of Bill Pickford, one of this company's top performers.
Bill's a soft sell: he doesn't push. He'll talk to you, ask questions, and find things you have in common. He'll get you laughing and pretty soon - and you'll hardly notice it - you've told him all he needs to know. He'll coax out the clues, and pretty soon you've got your house.
"I don't drive people around and show them a whole bunch of properties. I like to zero in on just the one they want. I dont know that it's a listening skill so much as you have to know what to do with what you hear. How to translate it into a house that works for them."
He's enthusiastic, fun to be with and knowledgeable. "You need to know the long-range implications of buying real estate and what your clients' goals are. You look at the whole picture and then help them make decisions. It's great if you can come up with something they haven't thought of. This is a major decision, buying a house, and I know enough about the process to help people get the best deal they possibly can."
Bill moved to the midcoast area after college. "I'd just gotten married. I drove up the coast, saw Camden, stayed in Belfast and said, Wow, what a great place to raise a family." And thats exactly what he did.
Now, years later, he and his wife, Annie, live on a hilltop farm in Freedom, complete with flower gardens, a dog and a cat - and a manicured 3-hole golf course.
Bill's casual style comes from his years of experience in the business. Since becoming a licensed broker in 1986, he has been president of the Mid-Coast Board of Realtors, director of the Maine Association of Realtors and chairman of the statewide groups Professional Standards Committee. That experience and commitment to his clients is demonstrated by the numerous referrals he receives from statisfied homeowners.

Life is fast and full, and that itself is a blessing, but today we pause in hopes of that most precious of things: a quiet moment of reflection.
The Pilgrims were grateful for mere survival, but today we live in the land of the second slice of pie. We tend to overdo it, but we should be grateful for the opportunity.
Really it's amazing that we have Thanksgiving at all. Look around. Look at the office or job site. Look at politics. Heck, look at sports. We complain and complain. The story is as old as the Bible: In times of trouble and want, we cry out for help. In times of ease and plenty, we quickly forget from whence help comes.
But we do have this holiday, this thing tied to an America that once was. Life on the farm or frontier was hard, risky and more than a little dangerous. So late in the fall – when the crops are in, when it seems for a moment as if we are at the end of things – wiser generations than ours said we needed to take stock. Say a prayer, have a feast. Woe be to the fattest, slowest turkey in the yard.
The cycles of the seasons don't rule our lives much anymore, but this wonderful tradition endures. Join hands, and pray. Pass the turkey. Pass everything. Yes, little sweetheart, you may indeed have seconds, and for that we are all thankful.
Somewhere in all of this – managing the timetable of who's coming and going, somehow magically getting everything on the table at the same time, or maybe later when things calm down – comes a quick flash of realization: This is good. It is sweet and precious, and who knows where we'll all be a year from now, so cherish this.
Or turn on the football game. Shop early. Whatever. Traditionalists cringe, but not everyone feels bound by the old customs, certainly not by the notion of restraint. We are pulled more and more by manufactured seasons and cycles, and things do change.
I need to get with the times. At my desk hang several images, three of which are well known but old. One is "Dewey defeats Truman," and two are Norman Rockwell paintings. After the great Kansas City flood of 1951, Rockwell and John Atherton painted "Kansas City Spirit." You've seen it. A man – everyman, America itself – holds blueprints in one hand while rolling up his sleeves and looking resolutely to the work and reward of the future.
The third is this: "Freedom From Want." During World War II, Rockwell did his "Four Freedoms" paintings. Those four – freedom of worship, freedom of speech, freedom from fear, freedom from want – include the famed image of the family at the holiday table, with a perfectly roasted turkey in the very center.
As is commonly noted, America has moved on from Norman Rockwell. Maybe the next Rockwell will come up with next idealized image of Thanksgiving, whatever that is turning into. But let's make sure the kids get the essence of it: Join hands, give thanks, cherish the second slice of pie.

and funny how I was wearing the same shirt!
Here I am in February 2011.
(It's nice to see the almost 20 lbs lighter version of myself in the first photo!) I have loved my apron, and hope you enjoy making one as a gift this holiday season.
You'll need:
- A pillowcase
- 1/2 yard of coordinating fabric (42-44" wide), plus long scraps for ruffles.
- Matching thread
- Your sewing tools, including a sewing machine, scissors, rotary cutter, ruler and cutting mat, pins, and seam ripper.
- A safety pin
- Helpful...an existing apron to trace the bib from.
First, remove the cuff from the pillowcase. Leave it in tact, but trimming the end seams on each side.
Second, fold the pillowcase in half, and using another apron as a guide, cut a sloping bib top.
Third, remove the seam from the top of the apron, AND
cut slits in side seams to accommodate the apron ties.
Fourth, cut the neck strap and ties for the apron.
The neck strap should be 2" wide and 20" long. For the ties, cut two 5" wide, the full width of the fabric.
Finally, but 3 1" strips of fabric, about 21" long for the small ruffles at the top.
Step two. Prepare all your pieces.
For the neck strap, fold the strap in half lengthwise, and sew right sides together with a 1/4" seam. This will create a long fabric tube.
Secure a safety pin near the seam, and guide through the tube to turn the fabric right side out.
Press the neck strap flat, with the seam in the middle.
Topstitch each side of the neck strap at 1/8".
For the ties, fold the long strips in half lengthwise, right sides together. On the selvage end, cut the ends in a 45 degree angle.
Sew together, leaving end opposite of diagonal open, with a 1/4" seam.
Be sure to trim your corners. Turn the tie right side out, press, and topstitch at 1/8".
Getting that tight corner is tricky when sewing the topstitch...use your seam ripper to help feed the fabric through your machine.
Next, prepare your fun little ruffles. If you have a serger {lucky!}, you could serge the sides to finish, in my case, I used a small zigzag stitch. Finish both long edges of each ruffle, and then sew a long gathering stitch down the middle.
For tips on gathering, please see Amanda's Sewing 101 post...it has great info. I use the longest stitch I have on my machine, and increase the tension. Once sewn, I pull the bobbin thread a bit more to get the ruffle as tight as I want it.
Pin the ruffle to one side of your pillowcase...not to both. Sew in place. I used a small zigzag stitch for fun.
Last step, prepare the bottom ruffle. Tuck the unfinished edges in, and sew closed on each side.
Sew two rows of long gathering stitches on the cut side of the pillowcase cuff. Pull tight to get to the size of the pillowcase.
Step three. Put it all together!
Pin the neck straps to the front of the apron as shown, about half an inch from the sides.
Do the same thing for each tie, tucking about 1/2" down from the sides. Make sure the ties are tucked between the right sides of the apron.
With right sides of the upper apron together, sew together with a half inch seam. At the sides where the slit was cut, taper down to the sides to make things look nice. Trim your corners.
Trim your corners. Turn apron right side out, and press.
Finally, it's time to add the ruffle at the bottom. You may need to trim the ends a bit to make them even. Press the sides up 1/2".
Carefully tuck the ruffle in between the pressed bottom of the apron.
Carefully pin through all three layers, making adjustments as necessary to make sure everything is in place.
Finally, topstitch the entire apron.
You're done!
Let me know what you think!

UPDATE: Jami asked about the potholders shown here. I loosely followed this tutorial from the Idea Room...and yes, I used a heat resistant batting layer. :)
