Kobe Japanese Steak HouseCategories
User RatingsEssential Information
This text will be replaced A Desert IconA desert tradition for more than 35 years, KOBE is the only Japanese-owned steakhouse in the Coachella Valley. The restaurant, a replica of a 300-year-old Japanese country inn, set behind a beautiful garden and pond, is a landmark on Highway 111 in Rancho Mirage. Your KOBE experience begins as you enter the traditional Japanese garden, with its handmade water wheel, tsukubai fountain, and temple garden bell. A wooden mon, or gateway, greets you at the entry and, as you cross the red footbridge, you can enjoy the sounds of a gentle waterfall flowing into the koi pond. Many of the colorful koi have lived in the pond since the restaurant opened, and others were born there. Feeding them is a desert tradition. KOBE is pure dining entertainment: an engaging blend of dynamic teppan-grill cooking and fresh, flavorful, Japanese cuisine that creates a spirited atmosphere of shared celebration and delight. Countless collectibles and artwork imported from Japan give the rooms a warm, authentic quality. The intimate sushi bar features the freshest fish and generous portions. In the dining rooms, highly skilled master chefs artfully slice and dice everything from the highest-quality certified Angus steak and chicken to seafood delicacies such as lobster, tiger prawns, scallops, and halibut. All are prepared before your eyes in a fun and festive setting around the communal table. "Our 35-year history sets us apart," explains Director of Development Jimmy Niwa. "KOBE's wonderful, dedicated staff, many of whom have been here for more than 20 years, have perfected the Japanese steakhouse experience. We keep it simple by allowing the high quality of our ingredients to shine on our teppan grills and sushi bar. It Keeps our guests coming back for more." Open for dinner nightly at 5 p.m. Reservations recommended. KOBE Japanese Steak House Additional InformationPrice Range: $$ The exotic KOBE entryway features a Japanese garden, red footbridge, koi pond, and waterfall. Chef Hide Takahashi works his magic at the teppan table, around the onion volcano, as he chops and slices New York Steak, Filet Mignon, Tiger Prawns, Scallops, and Lobster — a performance that delights KOBE patrons. Also shown is a display of some of the popular items from the sushi bar — Salmon Sushi, Maguro, Tamago, Makizushi, Ebi, and Ikura. A Blue Hawaiian and Cosmopolitan Martini are most requested, as well as sake, to accompany this delicious meal. The servers are adorned in authentic Japanese kimonos. What People Are Saying |

Intel is hiring sci-fi writers to help its engineers develop chip technology that will be used by consumers in a rapidly changing technology landscape. The move is a sign that the 'post-PC' world that Steve Jobs discussed at the launch of the iPad 2 is indeed upon us. Last year, Intel took on four sci-fi writers to examine Intel's research projects and envision the way technology might be used in the near future to help drive its design direction.

The coalition has a nonprofit arm that provides partial funding for scholarships and materials for the course. Additional funding for scholarships, which 16 of the 18 students receive, came from a $75,000 grant awarded to LifeTrack from the Greater Twin Cities United Way's WINGs Giving Community.
Beyond training a skilled workforce, Guarino says the larger vision for the coalition is to create a cut and sew industry in the Twin Cities that compares to those in New York and Los Angeles. But to do so, it needs to convince people that these aren't dead-end jobs -- that they have opportunities for advancement, especially as current workers retire.
A chance to start fresh
The program has its share of creative types in their 20s and 30s looking for alternatives to corporate life. Rhea O'Connor, 34, already has a full-time job in Web design. She decided to enroll in the program's night classes so she'd have a skill that would allow her to potentially change careers.
"I want to actually be able to sew in way that I can produce something from the production standpoint instead of just creating a one-off," she said.
Other students are approaching middle age and looking for a chance to start fresh. Marcus Cook, 47, has held his share of jobs in telecommunications and the service industry; in darker days, he served time in prison for robbery.
But, that's all behind him, he says. Now, he's engaged and has monthly bills, child support and a daughter looking to go to college. He sees the course as a ticket to getting his life back on track in an industry that appears to be growing. Plus, after more than a decade working on his feet in kitchens, it satisfies his desire to be creative in a job that won't require him to stand all day.
"I'm still 20 years from retirement so I took this as an opportunity to learn a trade that will give me another notch in my belt and keep me employed," he said. "I don't see this industry becoming totally automated and robotic; there will always be a human application to it."
Scott Loeser also enjoys making things with his hands, which is why he got into leather-making in the first place. And, if growing consumer interest in the "made in USA" trend translates to a real revival of American manufacturing jobs, he wants to be at the forefront.
Running his own successful leather goods business is the ultimate goal -- he already has a name for it, Marked. But, in the short term, he simply wants to learn a marketable trade that interests him.

Girl Scout Awards FAQ's
The Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards remain the highest awards in Girl Scouting. GSUSA has just revised the guidelines to align with the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. For more information on the guidelines and transition period, please refer to the questions and answers below.
What is the future of the Girl Scout Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards?
The Girl Scout Bronze, Silver and Gold Awards will remain the highest awards in Girl Scouting.
What is happening to the Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards?
Each of the award guidelines have been revised to align with the Girl Scout Leadership Experience and to reflect the desired leadership outcomes.
Why are the guidelines being revised?
The guidelines have been revised to align with the Girl Scout Leadership Experience and to include the most up-to-date materials with the journeys. Completion of a journey is now a prerequisite for each of the awards.
What are the new grade levels for earning the awards?
Bronze Earned by Juniors 4th-5th grade
Silver Earned by Cadettes 6th-8th grade
Gold Earned by Seniors or Ambassadors 9th-12th grade
Will printed guidelines be available?
There are currently no plans to sell printed copies of the guidelines. Information is available to download from the GSUSA web site at www.girlscouts.org. Information includes separate guidelines for both girls and adults, along with sample award projects.
How will Girl Scouts Heart of Central California provide opportunities for volunteers and girls to learn about these new guidelines?
Our web site will provide a link to the information on GSUSA's web site. Information will also be distributed through Service Unit meetings and via email to volunteers. Girls who take Girl Scout Silver or Gold Award training classes in the current membership year (2009-2010) will be made aware of the new materials as an option, but training will continue for this year on the previous process. Adult Award Advisor classes, starting in January 2010, will start to offer information on both options for obtaining the awards.
What happens to girls who are using the old guidelines?
Nothing at all. Girls currently working on a Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, or Gold Award can complete their projects using the current guidelines.
When will the new guidelines officially take effect?
The new guidelines take effect October 1, 2011. Girls will have from 2009, when the new guidelines are released, through September 30, 2011, to transition to the new guidelines. In the meantime girls will have the option of either process in earning their awards.
What if girls who are using the current guidelines cannot finish their projects by the time the new guidelines take effect?
Because of the lengthy transition period, it is unlikely a project will not be finished before October 1, 2011.
Can girls work on two awards at the same time?
No. One award must be completed before work begins on a new one.
Who do I contact if I have questions?
If you have questions you can email us at email@example.com.
For more information please call the council office at (800) 322-4475 or (916) 452-9181 or e-mail us at firstname.lastname@example.com

The S/S Mary Anne Central and Northern Islands cruise focuses on the central islands and fabulous northern Genovesa. This region of the Galapagos is prime nesting site of Red-footed Booby. Explore deep, silent coves where Green Sea Turtles swim, admire the volcanic contours of iconic Pinnacle Rock and red sand beaches where sea lions lazily soak in the equatorial sun. Enjoy a panga ride inside mangrove canals where White-tipped Sharks and Golden Rays glide alongside.
Share Nazca Booby nesting rituals and swim-time with curious Galapagos Penguins. Don your life jacket for a dry landing at Prince Philip Steps and maybe even enjoy a face-to-face encounter with a groggy Short-eared Owl. Arrive on moonlike landscapes spawn with prehistoric shrubbery, fresh pahoehoe lava formations where lava bubbles are contained in crystallized minerals and pioneering plants strive to survive. Spend the evening star gazing and relaxing with a book before being rocked to sleep as we make our way to our next adventure.
Mary Anne's Central & Northern Islands Cruise can be combined with the West & Beyond Island cruise, the Southern Islands Cruise or both to create trips of 10, 11 or 15 days in length.

It has been a long and busy weekend but I a great one. I am home and trying to get my bearings and get back on schedule. Tate did a great job at his tournament!!
He took home a 2nd in fighting and a 3rd in forms. It was a great tournament and I am so proud of him!
I think he is a little proud as well.
The other part of my trip involved taking Erin to Fort Jackson South Carolina to see her Fiance Matthew. We had to make some decisions regarding their wedding and get a picture for her engagement announcement. As soon as I get those pictures uploaded I will share and tell you all the news. Life sure had gotten interesting lately and I can't wait to see what comes next!
How was your weekend?

FRENCHMAN GREGORY BOURDY stormed into a two-stroke clubhouse lead on day two of the Irish Open, as local stars Rory McIlroy and Darren Clarke struggled to keep up with the pace.
The 30-year old Bordeaux-born Bourdy added a five under par 67 to Thursday's opening 65 to move to 12 under par at the halfway stage on the Royal Portrush course. Bourdy got off to a flier with an eagle at the second followed by a birdie at the third.
He dropped a shot at the fourth but three more birdies saw him reach the turn in 31 before two birdies and two bogeys saw him go level par through the back nine and take him into the weekend at 12 under par.
"I have played so well these two days and especially as it is not easy to play well in a second round after having a really low first round," said Bourdy, who is chasing a fourth European Tour title.
"I went out there looking to start really well and to eagle the second and to birdie the third was a real bonus. The bogeys came from some missed shots but I stayed confident and in the present and that's why I made a good birdie at 17, so I am very happy to be minus five today."
Bourdy's 36-hole opening tally is his lowest since he reached 14 under par after two rounds of the 2008 Estoril Open, an event he went on to win. His other victories have come in Majorca in 2007 and in Hong Kong in 2009, but Bourdy says he is better placed now to handle the pressure that comes with taking a lead into the weekend.
"I do feel as though I'm a much more mature player now and have the ability to better handle everything that goes with shooting low scores, and winning bigger events," he added.
Behind him, Italy's Lorenzo Gagli carded a 66 — just one stroke less than his best ever Tour score — to move into second place on 10 under par.
The 26-year old from Florence has won three times on the secondary Challenge Tour and went close to a first main Tour win in finishing runner-up to England's Lee Slattery in last year's Madrid Masters.
"My putter has been the key to these two rounds so I am pleased with my putting," he said. "But I like links golf because it's another kind of golf, and we have to try and make a few low running shots. So that's good."
Welshman Jamie Donaldson (67) on nine under par and Scotland's Gary Orr (68) on eight under added to a contrasting flavour atop the board.
World No. 2 McIlroy — who again had his girlfriend, Danish tennis star Caroline Wozinacki, out supporting him — added a 69 to his opening 70 to move to five under par.
"It felt okay today and I feel like I played solid out there," said McIlroy. "I probably could have holed a few more putts if I'm honest but I just struggled a little bit getting the speed of the greens.
"But, overall, it was a decent round, and something to build on for the weekend."
In contrast, playing partner and PGA Champion, Keegan Bradley, was returning home to Florida early with the assurance he will miss the expected two under par cut off mark after rounds of 73 and 71 left him level par. But another local star, Clarke, breathed a sigh of relief with a final hole birdie for a four under par tally that guaranteed the Portrush resident his place over the weekend.
"I would have liked it to be better but a 69 is not bad," he said.

Students created a design using one art object (pencil, crayon, glue, scissors). The original design was duplicated eight times to create radial symmetry (balance in a circle shape). Color was also repeated to enhance the symmetry.

Stories making headlines around baseball.
• A real hard-hitting item here: Roughly 30 years after retiring from the Royals, pitcher Mark Littell is back on the diamond hawking a better way for players to protect their jewels. Littell is representing a new line of men's wear and a new and improved cup that he not only swears provides better protection, but proves his point by putting his money wear his "you-know-what" is. The YouTube clip is certainly worth watching through.
• New Quad Cities ownership group has called for press conferences today and tomorrow, both involving new names. Today the team is expected to announce a naming-rights deal for John O'Donnell Stadium. Thursday the QC plans to compete with the Mitchell Report for headlines by announcing their new name to replace Swing.
• Torii Hunter finally got his wish. No, not that $90 million deal, but improved lighting at Fort Myers' Hammond Stadium, home to the high Class A Fort Myers Miracle and spring training site of the Minnesota Twins. Hunter vowed never to play at Hammond last spring until the ballpark got new lights. Lee County is responding by installing 180 light fixtures on six poles that rise 110 feet above the stadium's ground, in addition to replacing 3,110 hard-back seats. The $250,000 project is funded from a percentage of Lee County's Tourist Development Council hotel tax revenue.
• The Kane County Cougars and local government officials continue to negotiate on an expansion of Elfstrom Stadium while agreeing that they had previously low-balled costs of the project. New estimates put the project, which will include a second deck of seating, an overhang, increased concessions and skyboxes, at around $10 million.
• A little story on the fate of the Batavia Muckdogs. While it is true that the team is in serious financial trouble, it's a longshot that there will not be baseball in Batavia in 2008. The question is how involved will the league be in financially supporting the team.
• The Baltimore Examiner reports that the city of Aberdeen received nearly $50,000 less than it expected from renting out Ripken Stadium in 2006.

Article Title | Author | Company | eMag Issue | Article Synopsis |
Trends, Technologies, & Ecosystems: Evolution of The Digital Home | The Analyst Team at | Parks Associates | Feb 2013 |
Parks Associates, with more than 25 years of industry expertise and consumer research, analyzes the top trends influencing the future of the connected home and digital lifestyle. |
Expanding Role of the Service Provider—from Music to Games to the Connected Home | Tom Kerber, Tricia Parks, and Harry Wang | Parks Associates | Aug 2012 |
Opportunities for value-added services span such categories as entertainment, technical support, home management, energy services, and healthcare. Each one offers a unique value proposition, and service companies view these services as means to retain customers and as platforms for future revenue growth. |
The Rise of the Personal Cloud | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Feb 2012 |
From the starting point of data backup and synchronization, personal cloud services over the next few years will increasingly focus on media access and storage. |
The Personal Cloud | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Dec 2011 |
The main driver for cloud-based services today is data safekeeping, but as content libraries grow, so will demand, both explicit and implicit, for solutions to organize, manage, and retrieve data, files, and media. |
What | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Feb 2011 |
For the foreseeable future, online data/backup services will complement local storage such as computers and attached hard drives because they provide redundancy and the flexibility of multiplatform access. Online solutions will not reduce the need for robust storage in the home over the next five years, but it could eventually bring forth the long-anticipated arrival of "thin client" computing, where devices don't have to rely on large amounts of storage and processing. But it's a long-term evolution, and it will be awhile before consumers start to see their local storage and computing needs diminish. |
The Connected TV and Video Experience: | Parks Associates White Paper | Parks Associates | Dec 2010 |
While the electronic program guide (EPG) helps by organizing available content and relevant metadata for review, systems with enhanced search functionality and content recommendations allow consumers greater control over the discovery and evaluation process and thus play a significant role in promoting content and maintaining customer satisfaction. While these search-and-recommendation methods differ among solution providers, each system relies on a combination of information sources. |
Consumer Attitudes and the Benefits of Smart Grid Technologies | Bill Ablondi | Parks Associates | Oct 2010 |
Consumer attitudes about the benefits of smart grid technology are still in a formative stage. Most consumers are not aware of the term, much less the capabilities smart grid technologies will be bringing in the next few years. |
The Role of the Set-Top Box | Harry Wang | Parks Associates | Aug 2010 |
Parks Associates expects the role that a set-top box serves in the home to expand. Service providers, especially cable and telco/IPTV operators, will leverage this platform to support their multiplay strategies. Consequently, the set-top box will play a role as a home media server itself or as a network node, supporting multimedia functions and connecting multiple entertainment platforms while linking back to an RG to offer whole-home services. |
Google TV - Searching for Success | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Aug 2010 |
Kurt Scherf studies developments in home networks, residential gateways, digital entertainment services, consumer electronics, and digital home technical support services. Kurt is the sole author or contributing author/analyst to more than 80 research reports and studies produced by Parks Associates since 1998. |
What Happened To The Smart Home? | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Jan 2009 |
Ten years ago, the "smart home" was all the rage. Almost every company in our market had a concept center or display house that showed the functionality of the digital home. |
Adoption of Wireless and Powerline Controls | Bill Ablondi | Parks Associates | Jan 2009 |
One must consider all of these factors in determining whether electronic controls will replace electromechanical toggle switches. Wireless and powerline controls effectively address two factors in a positive way: absolute price and infrastructure. First, the cost of products based on these technologies is significantly less than traditional control systems installed by home systems integrators. Second, the infrastructure is already in place, so no new wires are needed. |
Web Video's Recent Moves: Making the Right Decisions? | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Nov 2008 |
The market to distribute premium video content (mainly TV episodes and feature-length movies) is currently going through one of its most dynamic periods as experimentation with business models, delivery mechanisms, and consumer tastes is in full swing. |
Choice of Storage Media for Portable Multimedia Players | Harry Wang | Parks Associates | Nov 2008 |
Unlike in the digital audio player market, the fight between NAND flash and hard-disk drive (HDD) on the PMP platform is far from over. |
No Way to Regulate - Mobile TV in Europe a Parks Associates white paper | John Barrett | Parks Associates | Sep 2008 |
Standards can be a good thing; the GSM standard proved to be a great thing. Yet standards must be useful and not established simply for the sake of having a "standard." A European mobile TV standard will not enable lucrative roaming services, nor will it solve the economies-of-scale problem facing the market. It will, however, deny European operators the freedom to choose which technologies they need and also deny them the use of established network infrastructure. |
e-Health Opportunities for Global Service Providers a Parks Associates white paper | Harry Wang | Parks Associates | Sep 2008 |
An aging population with rising incidence of chronic conditions is a threat to the global healthcare system. Each month, the world's elderly population increases by 795,000. In countries such as Japan, Bulgaria, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Spain, the elderly outnumber the children. Chronic diseases such as diabetes, congestive heart failure, asthma, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) unfortunately come with age and can lead to deteriorating quality-of-life standards. These chronic diseases are not only major causes of death but also among the most costly to treat and cure. |
Consumer Technology: Key Trends and Outlook for 2008 | The Parks Associates Analyst Team | Parks Associates | Feb 2008 |
The Parks Associates analyst team has consolidated its insights on some of the next significant areas to watch within the digital lifestyles space. This paper examines some of the latest developments and activity across a wide array of products, services, and categories. Many of our research efforts in 2008 – both industry reports and primary consumer research – will be focused on these areas. |
Broadband Video: A Market Update | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Dec 2007 |
Current "winners" in the broadband VoD space are the television broadcast networks, which are reporting good success with their online initiatives. For example, they are reporting high ad retention, no evidence of primetime cannibalization, and targeting the right viewer in terms of demographics. |
Home Controls: Trends and Opportunities | Bill Ablondi | Parks Associates | Oct 2007 |
Home controls are one dimension of a broader set of home systems that includes entertainment, security, energy management, broadband access, and data networking. These other home systems can entice consumers to bring controls into their homes if control systems manufacturers partner with firms providing these other systems and services. |
Who Will Win the 4G Race? | Michael Cai | Parks Associates | Aug 2007 |
Mobile WiMAX is likely to have the most success among new market entrants looking to enter the market in the near term, such as landline operators seeking to include mobility in their service bundles. The potential of such markets should not be under estimated. |
Broadband Adventures in Rural America | Chris Roden | Parks Associates | Jun 2007 |
In a perfect world, everyone would have access to a broadband technology like cable or fiber. However, it will be decades before telcos and cable providers expand these high-speed services to rural areas. While none of these alternative solutions have emerged as a leader, it looks to be a race between WiMAX and BPL. |
Digital Hell | John Barrett | Parks Associates | Apr 2007 |
There are lots of theories about how and why new products achieve mass-market success. I'd like to offer my own little rule of thumb. No product will ever achieve mass-market success unless it inspires envy. People must look at the early adopters and want to become one. |
Business Models for Managing the Digital Home | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Apr 2007 |
We anticipate significant opportunities for hardware and software companies helping service providers, home network and home computer vendors, and CE vendors to develop more proactive customer help solutions. |
Watching Trends and Opportunities beyond 2007 | Kurt Sherf | Parks Associates | Feb 2007 |
Because change in this industry tends to be incremental and far more subtle than what can easily be reported in a newspaper article or a short television news report, we wanted to open 2007 with some of our thoughts about "what's next" in the digital lifestyles industry. |
Mobile TV in Europe: Who Needs a Standard | John Barrett | Parks Associates | Dec 2006 |
Operators will rightly choose the technology that presents them with the strongest business case, and this choice will vary from market to market. They cannot (and should not) be expected to forego current savings in exchange for the promise of cheaper equipment further down the road. |
Digital TV Transition: Tour de Europe | Harry Wang | Parks Associates | Dec 2006 |
Due to resource constraints, diverse operation backgrounds, varying levels of competitive pressure, and split views on market dynamics and corporate competences from decision-makers, operators are selecting different integration approaches. |
The Digital Home: Here, Now, and Ready for Integration | Kurt Scherf and Stuart Sikes | Parks Associates | Oct 2006 |
If the solution is simple, reliable, and fairly priced, the consumer wins, and the integrated digital home – nay, the digital lifestyle – vision becomes a reality – rapidly. |
Media Servers in the Digital Home | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Aug 2006 |
Annual sales of media server form factors will be significant over the next five years, to the tune of nearly 50 million shipments in 2010 |
Digital Home Health—A Primer | Harry Wang | Parks Associates | Aug 2006 |
The total market for digital home health services is expected to grow to $2.1 billion in 2010, fueled mainly by wellness monitoring services (CAGR 74%), Web messaging, and online consultation services (CAGR 54%). |
Reaching the Unreachable Consumer | Parks Associates | Parks Associates | Feb 2006 |
Tools such as the Internet should be leveraged to provide more of the interactivity and commerce activities associated with product research and purchase. These tools can also reinforce the messages that consumers receive via traditional advertising methods and give both content producers and advertisers more effective ways of measuring their audiences. |
Making TV Meaningful | Parks Associates | Parks Associates | Feb 2006 |
IPTV has the potential to cause a paradigm shift in telecommunications services, and service providers, especially telecom operators, have a great opportunity to increase customer ARPU. With the addition of video into the package, things become more complicated. Consumers attach more value when it comes to video. Quality and quantity of video content are important issues that drive consumer preferences. |
Home Builders: Key Channel for CE | Bill Ablondi | Parks Associates | Dec 2005 |
Home builders sold $11 billion worth of technology products in 2004 and expect sales to increase 10-12% in 2005, according to Parks Associates' 2004 Builder Survey. |
Look Ma! My Phone Kills Mosquitoes | Yuanzhe (Michael) Cai | Parks Associates | Oct 2005 |
Cell phones are no longer just tools for making phone calls. Phone makers have been busy developing new models that include advanced entertainment and information features. |
Putting the Home Network to Work | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Aug 2005 |
This white paper examines the challenges that face home users of computers, the Internet, and home networks and provides insight into how the industry is addressing the need for improved management, monitoring, and maintenance services and solutions to home users. |
Dealers Revenue to Reach $5.7B | Bill Ablondi | Parks Associates | Dec 2003 |
Continued growth of new construction coupled with consumer demand for the latest entertainment systems is driving sales through installing dealers to grow 8% in 2003 over 2002. The results of Parks Associates latest survey of the channel indicate that next year looks even better with nearly 60% of dealers expecting their businesses to grow more than 10% in 2004. |
The Market For Ultra-Wideband Solutions | Kurt Sherf | Parks Associates | Oct 2003 |
We readily acknowledge the challenges inherent in forecasting a networking solution as broadly-positioned as UWB. However, we simultaneously would caution against the over-hype that has been associated with previous "revolutionary" technologies. |
Public Hot Spots: One Truth and Two Myths | Yuanzhe (Michael) Cai | Parks Associates | Oct 2003 |
Most hot-spot service providers agree that the majority of this market's early adopters are and will continue to be so-called road warriors. These people travel nationally or internationally for professional purposes, and while on the road, they need Internet connections to access their corporate networks and e-mail. |
Disconnected: Consumers And The Mobile Phone Industry a White Paper | John Barrett | Parks Associates | Aug 2003 |
Table of Contents 1.0 There Went the Big Spenders 2.0 Conspicuously Not Consuming 3.0 Does Anybody Really Want All This Technology? 4.0 What?s Really Wrong with the Industry |
Trends in Residential Energy Management A White Paper | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Jun 2003 |
Expect cautious incursions into the world of deployed energy management solutions in the beginning. Eventually, however, we believe that commercial deployments in larger numbers will be the norm, at least in certain markets. After 30+ years of watching a market evolve at a painstakingly tortuous pace, the next few years should provide some interest and excitement. |
The Chinese Telecom Market | Michael Cai | Parks Associates | Apr 2003 |
China's telecom carriers market will gradually open to foreign investors, in the order of value-added services, basic mobile services, and basic fixed telecom services. Geographically, the Chinese government will first open the market in three super-sized cities-Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, then 17 big cities, and finally the rest of the country. |
Why | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Dec 2002 |
In the end, Parks Associates believes that the PC and standalone consumer electronics platforms will both play key roles as distributed hubs in the home. Reprinted from the November 17, 2002 edition of "Parks' Points" |
Shanghai Interactive/Digital TV | Yuanzhe (Michael) Cai | Parks Associates | Dec 2002 |
In early 2002, the Shanghai municipal government "advised" SCN to accelerate the digital TV project and gradually migrate to interactive TV services in the next few years. The government also provided millions of dollars in subsidies specifically for the digital TV project. Reprinted from the November 17, 2002 edition of "Parks' Points" |
Coming To A PC Near You | Michael Greeson | Parks Associates | Dec 2002 |
Movielink ushers in a new genre of content provisioning capable of radically altering the business of movie rental. While you may disagree with this claim, to those likely impacted by this move, this is indeed big news. Reprinted from the November 17, 2002 edition of "Parks' Points" |
Home Entertainment Network Growth | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Jun 2002 |
Caveats and concerns aside, the next two years promise to bring significant development in the field of connected entertainment. Growth will come from partnerships between platform developers and service providers (think set-top boxes), new forms of content, emerging business models, and a growing awareness and acceptance among consumers for these applications. |
CONNECTIONS™ 2002 Wrap-Up | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Jun 2002 |
CONNECTIONS™ would like to extend a Texas-sized "thank you" to the more than 50 exhibiting sponsors, two supporting organizations, and 24 supporting publications for their participation in and support of what has become the industry's largest, most important and focused executive conference and trade show for the home networking and residential gateway industries. We'll expect many happy returns in 2003, when CONNECTIONS™ will convene for the seventh consecutive year! |
Info Appliances | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Apr 2001 |
The business model in terms of total available market (TAM) for information appliances may have to be clarified. |
MMDS Broadband | Michael Greeson | Parks Associates | Oct 2000 |
MMDS is ideally suited for areas where DSL and cable cannot reach. And in areas where these services are available, MMDS can offer ISPs the advantages of rapid deployment, a swift time-to-market, none of the "last-mile" obstructions inherent to DSL and cable service, and a more cost-effective mode of providing Internet service. All of these advantages should prove very enticing to ISPs scrambling to establish a presence in the broadband market. |
Forum99 Wrap-Up | Kurt Scherf | Parks Associates | Dec 1999 |
From the announcements that came from Forum'99, it is evident that the excitement is only just beginning to build. Technical advances are only one part of the key to unlocking the vast potential this market holds, however. The overreaching message proclaimed by most speakers – and attendees – is a better understanding of the needs and desires of the 21st century consumer. |

The 22 tpi Japanese tooth-pattern blade cuts aggressively (on the pull stroke), but does not mark the surface that it is cutting next to. The thin blade is flexible and can be pressed flush to any surface, yet is rigid enough for good control.
The saw is available with teeth cut on only one edge or in a double-edged style that cuts from either side. Each is about 11-1/2" long with 4-3/4" of blade. These work like a charm.

MIT Museum Lectures
Cambridge, MA
The MIT Museum invites you to explore invention, ideas, and innovation. Through interactive exhibitions, public programs, experimental projects, and its renown collections, the MIT Museum showcases the fascinating world of MIT, and inspires people of all ages about the possibilities and opportunities offered by science and technology.
This intimate museum, given one of the 2007 Boston Globe "Best of the New" awards for the Museum's recent expansion, annually attracts 90,000 visitors from around the world.
The mission of the MIT Museum is to engage the wider community with MIT's science, technology, and other areas of scholarship in ways that will best serve the nation and the world in the 21st century. The MIT Museum fulfills this mission by: collecting and preserving artifacts that are significant in the life of MIT; creating exhibits and programs that are firmly rooted in MIT's areas of endeavor; engaging MIT faculty, staff and students with the wider community.
The Museum is dedicated to collecting, preserving, and exhibiting materials that serve as a resource for the study and interpretation of the intellectual, educational, and social history of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and its role in the development of modern science and technology. The Museum stands alone among university museums in its focus on the impact on society of the research, the teaching and the scientific innovations of its parent institution.
Founded in 1971 as the MIT Historical Collections by Warren Seamans, the MIT Museum's original mandate was the collection and preservation of historical artifacts then scattered throughout MIT. Renamed MIT Museum in 1980 by the MIT Corporation Executive Committee, it began to develop exhibits and educational programs based on the Museum's MIT focused collections. The Museum was designed to meet the needs and interests of the MIT community as well as society at large.

Autumn Leaves (with bonus tracks)
CD (Item 485235) Futura (France), 1972 — Condition: New Copy
A great late recording from Ben Webster – working here in Paris with some wonderful help from the trio of pianist George Arvanitas! George's rhythm duo is wonderful – the bold bass of Jacky Samson and hip drums of Charles Saudrais – both players who bring a really fresh feel to the record, and help Webster find a hip setting in these later years of his life – a sprightly groove that's great for his aging, raspy tone on tenor sax. Arvanitas' piano is nicely restrained, leaving Ben to be the key solo star of the album – and titles include "Hal Blues", "Johnny Come Lately", "I Want A Little Girl", "Ash's Cap", "Autumn Leaves", and "Prelude To A Kiss". CD features 3 bonus alternate takes too. © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Fair Use and Documentary Film
Documentary Filmmakers' Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use
Documentary Filmmakers' Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use
Documentary filmmakers have created, through their professional associations, a clear, easy to understand statement of fair and reasonable approaches to fair use. Download this useful handbook, written by veteran filmmakers to help other filmmakers understand some instances where using copyrighted material without clearance is considered fair use. Click here for the full report & here for a list of authors and endorsers of the Statement.
Fair Use and Best Practices: Surprising Success
Aufderheide and Jaszi discuss the successes of the Statement of Best Practices in an article published in Intellectual Property Today.
Success of the Statement of Best Practices
The Statement has provoked dramatic change in the industry since it was released in November 2005. PBS and ITVS have used the Statement to release programs, and so have cablecasters including IFC. All four of the national errors and omissions insurers now issue fair use coverage routinely, as a result of the Statement.
Untold Stories: Creative Consequences of the Rights Clearance Culture
This study explores the implications of the rights clearance process on documentary filmmaking, and makes recommendations to lower costs, reduce frustration, and promote creativity. It focuses on the creative experience of independent, professional documentary filmmakers.
"Yes, You Can!"--Where You Don't Even Need 'Fair Use'
This helpful guide by Peter Jaszi offers insight into what falls into the category of free use.
by Peter Jaszi, Washington College of Law, Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property.
How Documentary Filmmakers Overcame their Fear of Quoting and Learned to Employ Fair Use
by Pat Aufderheide
Copyright Backgrounder
This concise background document describes what copyright is and what can be copyrighted, as well as what material is in the public domain and what is fair useable. Michael Donaldson is an attorney in Los Angeles, many of whose clients are leading documentary filmmakers. His book, Clearance and Copyright (Silman-James Press, October 2003), from which much of this information has been drawn, is widely regarded as a basic text for documentary filmmakers. Donaldson also contributed his expertise to the Documentary Filmmakers' Statement of Best Practices in Fair Use.
Fair Use Teaching Tools for Documentary
Fair Use Teaching Tools
The Center for Social Media has created a set of teaching tools for professors who are interested in teaching their students about fair use. The tools include powerpoints with lecture notes, guidelines for in-class discussions and exercises, assignments and grading rubrics. We hope you'll find them useful!
Fair Use Frequently Asked Questions
Since the release of The Statement of Best Practices we have received many inquires about fair use. Here are some of our more commonly asked items.
Fair Use Scenarios
Here are four scenarios, or hypothetical situations, that a documentary filmmaker might find him or herself facing. The four scenarios are each linked to one of the Statement's categories. These can be used for classroom discussion, and to inspire you to write other scenarios. The goal of these scenarios is to allow discussion about what the fair and responsible thing to do would be, not to find out "the right answer." These scenarios thus allow students to consider what they think makes sense, in light of the Documentary Filmmakers' Statement of Best Practice to see what professional filmmakers established as principles and limitations.
Fair Use Language for Course Syllabi
In your syllabus, you often have some information on copyright. Here is some language to include in that section, specifically on fair use. This language has been reviewed by lawyers, including law professor Peter Jaszi of American University's Washington College of Law and Michael Donaldson of Donaldson and Hart law firm, and it has been approved by the University Film and Video Association for use by its members.
Refrigerator Mothers
In Refrigerator Mothers, about an era when mothers were blamed for their children's autism, J.J. Hanley and David Simpson quoted popular films of the era. In this section, you can see what clips they purchased, which clips they employed fair use for, and their reasonings for each decision.
Fair Use in Documentary Film Discussion Clips
For classroom use - For each video, ask your students to consider the following questions: Why is this video fair use? What specific categories of fair use does the video employ? What arguments can you make for why this video is fair use? For explanations of each video, click here.
Examples of Successful Fair Use in Documentary Film
Filmmakers have been successfully employing fair use, even before the Statement of Best Practices clarified their common understandings. Here are some examples of uncontested choices for fair use. They are organized here according to the principles that filmmakers articulated in the Statement, in the categories used in the Statement. These categories are only four of the most common situations for filmmakers; some uses could be hybrid, and others might fall outside these four categories. We welcome more examples at email@example.com

By JOEL WEICKGENANT
AMSTERDAM—When Pablo Picasso moved from Spain to Paris as a 19 year old in 1900, the French metropolis was at the center of the artistic world; Picasso, though, arrived as a relative unknown. By 1907, Picasso was the point of reference for Paris's avant-garde movement. His style had gone through several discernible stages of development and soon his iconic painting "Les Demoiselles d'Avignons" would decisively establish him as a modern master.
"Picasso in Paris, 1900-1907"at the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam features more than 70 works from museums and private collectors, drawing a fine focus on this early period in Picasso's career. Curators have broken down the works on display into coherent periods that effectively demonstrate the range of the artist's abilities and influences.
In his earliest years in the city—represented in the "Picasso discovers Paris" section of the exhibit—a young man's enthusiasm for life in a new city bleeds from canvases bearing the stamp of contemporary influences, including neo-impressionism. Works such as "Le Moulin de la Galette" celebrate Paris's nightlife, while his early masterwork "Waiting (Margot)" uses pointillist strokes and bold, swirling colors to elicit the fierce energy of its subject, a young woman.
A decisive stylistic turn followed personal tragedy after Picasso's friend Carles Casagemas committed suicide in 1901. The portraits Picasso made of Casagemas—including "Casagemas in his Coffin"—make use of a stark, cold blue palette. Referred to as "the Blue Period," this evolution bears the influence of symbolist painters such as Gauguin, and is presented in this exhibition as "Picasso as a Symbolist." Subjects are depicted less as characters in a scene and more as archetypes. Themes shifted from the nightlife to the hard life, with stark, flowing portraits such as "Melancholy Woman" depicting the unvarnished misery that characterized life for less fortunate Parisians.
Unlike the Van Gogh Museum's namesake artist, Picasso became the star around which a galaxy of intellectuals, writers and artists began to revolve, and Picasso absorbed their ideas. In the last two sections—"The Life of the Bohemians," which features works, starting in 1904, that depicted harlequins and circus scenes, and "An Innovative, Modern Style," which shows Picasso moving toward a more sculptorly sensibility—the influence of fellow travelers like Guillame Apollinaire and Auguste Rodin are visible.

Not impressed: cheap quality
By Violettuxedo
from Edmonton
For the price, I am not impressed with this barrette. It is cheaply made and my hair, although quite fine in texture - the barrette barely keeps my hair in place. And the barrette is not made for your hair to be pulled into a pony tail style. The clasp at the back is so cheap for a barrette. This style of barrette is commonly sold for about $5 to $10 at drugstores and novelty stores in the mall.

Good morning … FAA, housing and small business
The House returns at 2 p.m. Tuesday to consider two bills, with votes expected around 6:30 p.m.
First up is H.R. 1079, a temporary extension of the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) authorization through May 31. The House is hoping that temporary extension will give Congress time to approve a four-year extension, which the House will take up later this week (H.R. 658).
The House will suspend its rules to pass H.R. 1079, which will require a two-thirds majority of voting members.
The second bill is H.R. 839, which would terminate the Treasury Department's Home Affordable Modification Program (HAMP). Republicans argue that this program has had little impact on struggling homeowners, and would save a potential $29 billion that has been taken from the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP).
Democrats have argued that the program has the potential to help thousands of homeowners, and can be expected to defend the program, as they have defended three other housing programs that Republicans voted to end earlier this month.
Nine amendments to the HAMP termination bill were made in order, which can be seen here.
On the other side of the Capitol, the Senate returns at 10 a.m. and is expected to continue consideration of S. 493, which would reauthorize small-business programs. Nearly 100 amendments to this bill have been put forward, and the Senate so far has been deliberating behind the scenes on which ones to consider.
On Monday, Senate Democrats indicated that they would once again support an amendment to eliminate IRS reporting language in last year's healthcare bill.
