10 File Boxes To Display
A recent project has us working with a client, helping her set up a home office space. It's the second level of a large loft where we've had to create storage spots for paper and office supplies. And while there are plenty of good looking file cabinets out there, we opted for a combo of open shelving and file boxes for housing paperwork.
Portable and quite attractive, these file boxes are a great solution for when you really don't need a two-drawer filing cabinet. Also perfect for displaying, these boxed beauties can compliment your decor without breaking the bank.

A recent zero-day exploit for Java (since addressed by an out-of-cycle update from Oracle, although the patch apparently has a flaw of its own), got a lot of attention and generated calls for users to disable or remove Java. Stephen Cobb, security evangelist at ESET, called this "an alternative to keeping up with the patching process."
But what really got his attention was not the threat to (or from) Java, but the growing efficiency of the malware developers.
"The interesting thing to me is the speed with which an exploit for the vulnerability has been fielded," he said. "It illustrates the industrialization of malware."

Developers of malicious code are becoming faster, better and more efficient, he said. They are employing a division of labor to take advantage of specialized skill sets and leveraging emerging standards to improve interoperability and ease the job of assembling exploits and tool kits. The result is increased availability of tools for delivering attacks, quietly siphoning off intellectual property and sensitive data, and doing reconnaissance on systems that control our critical infrastructure.
The development isn't new, and Cobb is not the first to notice it. "It's been coming for a while," he said.
It is the result of introduction of the profit motive into hacking. Once the domain of glory-seeking coders or script-kiddies with axes to grind, criminals now are making big bucks from attacks, and nation states apparently are willing to invest money to gain access to tools for espionage and sabotage.
The end result is that the growing ranks of IT security professionals are now being pitted against increasingly professional adversaries. But there still remains at least one advantage for the good guys. Cybersecurity is becoming part of college curriculums, but to date I am not aware of any college or university offering a degree program in malicious coding and system penetration.

You mentioned that there is no current college curriculum for hacking and malware manufacturing. The information is already readily available.
Hackers can easily research the upcoming threats and find open security holes by reading the XML standards documents. Any XML markup that controls software engines can often be made to abuse those engines. XML implementations currently do a poor job of validating URL content. Thus URL spoofing is often easy to perform. Shall I say more?
The ubiquitous postscript language can be a security threat on many postscript interpreters - usually associated with laser printers. The underlying computer can be controlled by sending specially crafted documents - treated as postscript programs. PDF documents are merely a fundamental modification of the postscript programming language.
Automated tools can be readily created to exercise the threats posed by standards loopholes, and preparing seemingly innocent documents that cause peripheral harm.
Because of the speed of hackers and the current attack surface, we need to think differently about device security design and counter measures. For instance, there should be no permissions to the operating system to prevent malicious executables and no persistent malware should not be allowed to exist on the machine. Browsers with proven, advanced sandboxing should be the norm.

Member Control of Cooperatives: What It Means and How It Is Exercised
Michael Cook, C. Brice Ratchford and Brian Griffith
Department of Agricultural Economics
One of the fundamental principles of cooperatives is that they are controlled democratically by the members who use them. "Democratic" is defined as one vote per member, regardless of investment in or volume of business conducted with the cooperative. Farmers have indicated in surveys that they recognize and support the concept. At the same time, however, farmers often charge that cooperatives are not member controlled. This publication was designed to help members and managers understand what control means and how it is exercised.
What member control means
Members control a cooperative when they
- Set major policies
- Have the ability to change policies
- Employ and dismiss the manager
This raises the question, "What is a major policy."
The membership of each cooperative can define policy as it sees fit. One school of thought says members should only set general purposes and employ and hold accountable management. This school, however, is increasingly in disfavor in the corporate world and was never considered appropriate for cooperatives. Under the member control principle, members should exercise control over all major policies. State statutes may also specify which policies members control.
Major policies often regarded as appropriate for member control include:
- Determining purposes and trade territory;
- Setting pricing strategies;
- Determining capital structure;
- Establishing membership requirements;
- Setting patronage refund policies and plans for equity retirement;
- Establishing credit policies;
- Defining equitable treatment of members;
- Having and approving long-range operational plans;
- Establishing employee compensation and fringe benefit plans;
- Approving major investments and sale of assets;
- Approving changes in the articles of incorporation and by-laws;
- Approving major contractual arrangements; and
- Approving plans for marketing agreements and pooling.
Members might tend to treat anything that is totally new as a policy matter. There is nothing wrong with this approach, provided the matter does not routinely become a matter for the membership to decide.
How members exercise control
Members exercise control over a cooperative directly by voting at membership meetings and indirectly through election of a board of directors. State Incorporation Statutes require the board to manage the cooperative and give it wide latitude in doing so. The board also may be restricted by provisions in state statutes, articles of incorporation, and bylaws that specifically reserve control of certain matters to the membership. In most cooperatives, however, few issues are reserved for the membership to decide. Hence, the way members usually exercise control is through electing a board of directors.
All types of corporations have boards of directors. All boards are responsible for representing the interests of owners, protecting the public interest, and assuring proper management for the corporation. Responsibility for management is far different from managing. The responsibility is exercised by employing professional management personnel and monitoring their performance.
The amount of authority and responsibility delegated to management is largely left to the board. Each board must decide what "control" means. Maintaining control does not require numerous actions at every board meeting. If no major policy decisions need to be addressed, an appropriate course of action is to monitor activities and performance.
While all boards have the same general responsibilities, the board of a cooperative differs greatly from the board of an investor-owned firm (IOF) and the differences are consistent with the principle of member control. People who serve on the board of a cooperative are members of the co-op, selected by other members. They serve with little or no compensation. Board members of IOFs are selected by the board (although approved by owners) and might have no business relationship with the corporation. They often are well compensated.
Actions members should take
Since much of the control authority is delegated to the board of directors, the most important single action a member can take is to actively participate in the director selection/election process. The procedures followed by cooperatives for securing directors vary widely. Some co-ops use nominating committees. Others nominate two people for each open board slot. Others allow people to "run" for the positions. The procedure a particular co-op follows should be specified in the bylaws.
More important than the election procedures is selecting the "right" people as directors. Essential requirements include actively patronizing the co-op, having no conflict of interest with the co-op, and making a commitment of time to the job. General leadership characteristics are highly desirable.
Many people elected for the first time to a co-op board have limited off-farm business experience and no experience on corporate boards. This means the person must also make a commitment to learn the business and learn how to become an effective director.
Incorporation statutes outline methods that show members how to take direct action. Almost all co-ops in Missouri are incorporated under Chapter 274 or Chapter 357 of the Missouri Statutes. Chapter 274 specifies there must be at least one membership meeting a year, with members notified at least 10 days in advance. Further, 10 percent of the members may petition for a special meeting to accomplish specific business. If they petition, the directors must call a meeting. The chapter also outlines procedures for initiating the removal of a director.
Chapter 357 specifies the board of directors manages the general affairs of the co-op but says business policies are controlled by the shareholders (members). Policies specifically mentioned are: declaring dividends; setting aside reserve funds; establishing the method of distributing profits; amending the articles of incorporation, increasing and diminishing capital stock; and other general policies. The chapter also provides for removal of a director for cause at any annual or special meeting.
Control versus management
Member control is quite different from management. It is the task of management to faithfully pursue the goals and policies of the membership and to periodically report on performance. Management should have the right to make a wide range of decisions on a day-to-day basis. Examples include establishing prices, hiring and firing employees, selecting vendors, preparing work and delivery schedules, and establishing daily priorities. Members cannot maintain control, however, unless their elected representatives (the board of members) retain and exercise the right of employing and evaluating management and making necessary managerial changes.
The membership can and should delegate actual management to a professional manager. Professional managers have many skills the typical member does not have. Further, management of an enterprise of any significant size is a full-time job. Perhaps of even greater importance is the timeliness of decisions. If members become involved in day-to-day operations, it will almost certainly lead to poor performance of the cooperative. Management must have the flexibility to fail as well as to succeed and be rewarded accordingly.
Limitations and a major problem of member control
Members often face external restraints when policy decisions are made. Laws must be obeyed. Cooperative lenders, suppliers and customers may also place restrictions on policies. Such restrictions do not violate the principle of member control. In fact, a precise wording of the principle would be, "members control the cooperative subject to legal and institutional constraints and the realities of the economic situation faced by the cooperative."
A cooperative faces a dilemma in representing the views of its membership. If operating properly, the cooperative reflects the views of a majority of members. A member who is in the minority has three options: bow to majority rule, solicit support for the minority view, or leave the co-op.
Another constraint is the number of members who vote on issues relating to control. In many cooperatives, voting occurs at a membership meeting called for that purpose. Others permit proxy voting, voting by mail, or a combination of meeting, proxy, and voting by mail. Regardless of the method, the percent of members voting is usually low. Those who do vote set policy and those voters may or may not be representative of the membership.
Members can control their cooperative by many means. An essential ingredient is being actively interested in and participating in co-op activities. Without member interest and participation, there is no guarantee members will control the cooperative.

After taking the NHL's version of a three-stop tour of the New York area through the first several seasons of his career, Mike Mottau finally got to come home.
The Avon, Mass., native was traded to the Bruins at the deadline to provide depth on the blue line. He fit the role as seventh defenseman to a tee by working hard in practices, staying sharp enough to not miss a beat when thrown into games after long stretches of inactivity, and playing the simple game expected of a third-pair blueliner.
Team-wise, obviously, Mottau would've liked a better playoff result to cap his first stint with his hometown team. But he did all he could to make sure the postseason run lasted longer, and his solid play might've done enough to earn him a bigger opportunity elsewhere as a free agent if he opts to leave Boston this summer.
Regular season: With Boston, 6 GP, 0-0-0, minus-1
Playoffs: 2 GP, 0-0-0, minus-2
Contract status: UFA 2012
Regular season recap
Highlight: The day Mottau was rescued from the New York Islanders, who were headed toward yet another playoff-less spring, was a huge day. During his stint with Boston, he continued to show he could be a reliable defenseman with a little offensive upside. He even skated a solid 6:52 as a forward and recorded three hits in a loss to Washington March 10.
Lowlight: With the Bruins tuning up for the playoffs, Mottau logged 20:02 of ice time against Buffalo and posted a minus-1 rating. He lost a battle with Nathan Gerbe, who set up a Jason Pominville goal in a Boston shootout win.
Playoff recap: Just before Joel Ward scored the Bruins' season-ending goal for Washington, Mottau had stepped onto the bench for a change. He got back out on the ice but it was too late. The breakdown was more the fault of a bad bounce on Benoit Pouliot's shoot-in that sent the Capitals off to the races, but that wasn't exactly how Mottau wanted potentially his last shift with the Bruins to unfold.
Grade: B. Mottau was steady in his limited opportunities with the Bruins. He was always upbeat in the dressing room and accepted his role.
Carnac predicts … A team with a need for depth on defense, but with more ice time available to compete for, gives Mottau a two-year deal and he departs Boston, where the Bruins are now a bit crowded on defense.

It's safe to say that quite a few of us woke up Friday morning and wondered if we had dreamt up Game Six of the World Series.
It wasn't a dream. That game really happened.
A few cups of coffee and a chance to watch all of the highlights again has probably taken care of any lingering thoughts that the whole thing was a fevered baseball dream of the highest order. Now comes the time where we try to put the game in some kind of historical context.
That feels necessary because there's been some "Best World Series Game Ever" chatter flying about in the wake of the Cardinals' stunning 10-9 victory on David Freese's walk-off home run in the 11th inning. Is that a consequence of our national culture of instant satisfaction that forces everything to be the best or the most thing that's ever happened, or is there actual justification for those claims?
There were some things that make it feel like a contender for the crown. The Cardinals came back five different times to tie and, ultimately, win the game, with two of those comebacks coming when the team was facing their final strike and the end of the season.
There were so many moments that felt absolutely critical, from allowing Colby Lewis to bat with the bases loaded to back-to-back homers in the seventh to Josh Hamilton's 10th inning home run, and so many potential goats turned into heroes (Freese, Michael Young) that the narrative engine never stopped churning.
It ended on a walk-off home run, always a good thing for historical cred, and kept a team alive for one more chance at the title. Having circumstances like that certainly boost this game into the realm of the all-time greats, but there are some places where it falls short.
One reason is that it was Game Six, which means that it is naturally going to be fall short of the great World Series Game Sevens in history because only one team was facing the end of their season with a loss. The other is that the game simply wasn't all that well played.
There were five errors and several other defensive blunders, including Nelson Cruz's misplay on Freese's game-tying triple, that hurt both teams over the course of the proceedings. There were also questionable managerial decisions, baserunning mistakes and poor pitching performances to blemish the game in a way that we haven't seen in some of the other great World Series games of all time.
Quantifying the best is a difficult thing. What we should focus on is that Game Six might have been the most exciting baseball game of all time.
Other great World Series games -- 1975 Game Six (Carlton Fisk's home run), 1986 Game Six (Bill Buckner's error), 1988 Game One (Kirk Gibson's homer), 2001 Game Seven (Luis Gonzalez's dying quail) -- have been marked by one great moment that overshadow the rest of the game that came before. Others, like Jack Morris in 1991's Game Seven or Don Larsen's Perfect Game, have been marked by one dominant performance.
There have been games with more historical resonance, like the Brooklyn Dodgers finally breaking through in 1955, but it is hard to think of more than one other game that offered the kind of emotional swings that we saw last night. That one would be 1960's Game Seven, when Pirates second baseman Bill Mazeroski's homer beat the Yankees in the bottom of the ninth.
Both games ended with a 10-9 score, oddly enough, although the Pirates-Yankees affair played out quite differently. The Pirates jumped out to a big lead, the Yankees came back to build a 7-4 lead, the Pirates went up 9-7 on Hal Smith's three-run homer and then the Yankees tied the game on a truly amazing play when Mickey Mantle dove back into first after a forceout on Yogi Berra to allow Gil McDougald to score the tying run.
Then came Mazeroski's homer, giving you all the drama and entertainment nine innings of baseball can offer. You could say exactly the same thing about the game in St. Louis, except that it took 11 innings.
In the end, isn't that all we can ask for from a game? To be excited and entertained to the point that we're not quite sure that what we saw happen really happened?
That's the most fitting a coda to put on Game Six of the 2011 World Series. Now let's hope we get another qualifier for the discussion on Friday night.

text: Is there a way for us to adjust our calendar to re-classify everything that happened before Sunday as "Before Strasburg" and everything hereafter as "After Strasburg" because the way that the media, both local and national, handled Sunday's game, you would have thought that Strasburg was going to wear flowing white robes and sandals to the mound instead of a uniform and cleats. None of this is Strasburg's fault obviously, and I appreciate an exciting prospect story probably more than anyone, but the 24/7 media (particularly one that calls Bristol home) has a way of overexposing these kind of events to the point that it becomes difficult to be excited because you're being TOLD to be excited instead of just letting your own emotions take hold.That said, I had butterflies driving on the Inner Belt on Sunday afternoon heading down to the game and couldn't wait to see Cy Strasburg myself. Before getting into this Strasburg thing however, let's get some Tomahawks in the air to see if we can get them to land on that spot on the mound that the Indians' ground crew should somehow name after Steve Strasburg.Get 'em in the air...__________ As the local media takes their swipes at the Indians for only being able to draw people to the ballpark to see an opposing pitcher, perhaps something has been missed in terms of placing the proper context of the 2010 season against recent seasons. Much has swirled around that this is rock-bottom and that THIS is the worst Indians' team people have seen in X amount of years and that the talent on this team simply isn't there as it has been in years past.Check this...Cleveland Indians After 62 Games2010: 25-37 (10.5 games back)2009: 27-35 (7.0 games back)2008: 28-34 (7.5 games back)No, seriously.As much hand-wringing and gnashing of teeth that's been happening, the current Indians are 2 games worse at this point than the 2009 team and 3 games worse than the 2008 team. Lest you forget, both of those teams had reigning Cy Young Award winners and each season started with the expectation that the Indians would compete for, if not win, the AL Central title and more.The 2008 team was 62 games removed from the 2007 ALCS, with CC and Lee in their rotation and was 28-34 at this point. That 2009 team that had added Kerry Wood and Mark DeRosa in the off-season to make one last push at it was 27-35 at this point.This team, with few expectations and disappointment everywhere on the roster is 25-37.That's not brought up to point out how the current team is overachieving (they're not) or to assert that there's more much more talent on the 2010 club than they're getting credit for (there's some, but it's still a roster in flux); rather, it's meant to point out how absolutely soul-crushing the starts for last two years have been for this team and how those two records shown above from 2008 and 2009 are the VERY reason that this team is where it is today.Is it at rock-bottom?It depends on your definition, but more importantly, your feelings on 2010 reveal how you contextualize disappointment in a team. Perhaps 2010 is the low point or brings to a head the failures of the last two years with the team on the field being the constant reminder. However, in the context of what was expected in 2008 and 2009 against what transpired on the field, 2010 ranks pretty far down in the category of disappointment. This season has arrived as a result of the previous two years and the performances of the players acquired over the past two years (plus those already in the system, both in the Majors and the Minors) will determine how quickly (or slowly) this team makes it back to some level of contention. Regardless of that timeframe, to characterize 2010 as the ultimate disappointment and as the worst year in recent memory does not put the horrifying disappointments (and the dominoes that fell as a result of those disappointments) into proper perspective. Has watching the 2010 team been difficult to watch?At times...absolutely, but certainly no more difficult than watching teams that were built to win RIGHT NOW lose game after game (for a myriad of reasons) and sink lower in the standings, as the Indians did in 2008 and 2009. When things went wrong to start the last two years, the idea that the team would turn it around because of the talent on hand lent some level of optimism for near-term success and while that optimism may be further out in the distance, I would say that the Indians acted decisively to make major changes to their roster (whether you agree with them or not) instead of simply trying to squeeze one last bit of success (however unlikely it seemed) out of a team that hadn't won consistently in two years. Whether anything positive comes out of that decisiveness remains to be seen, but to say that 2010 is as bad as it gets comes only if you're blocking out what happened over the past two Aprils, Mays, and Junes.At the end of the day, it becomes about expectations versus results – 2008 and 2009 were wildly more disappointing (and should have been more difficult to watch) because MLB-proven talent and mature players were losing at the same clip that the young talent on hand in 2010 is putting forth – and whether that makes you feel better or worse about 2010 depends upon how you contextualize your disappointment in the team.__________ Back to the hot topic of the weekend, despite spending Sunday roasting in the hot Cleveland sun (which are not three words you see strung together too often) and me forgetting that a day in the bleachers at the corner of Carnegie and Ontario regularly turns my skin red, the pain on the tops of my knees and top of my head (where a proud community of hair once resided) is a small price to pay to watch Steve Strasburg in Cleveland in the Tribe Social Deck.My brother and I arrived down there about 12:30 (for the 1:00 game) and proceeded to Will Call, where our tix were waiting for us...with tickets for what must have been about 2,000 other people. After a Colt McCoy sighting (by the way, he's my size, plus about 25 lbs...and I'm 5'10", $1.50 soaking wet), the marvelous Rob Campbell of the Indians located our tix for us and we made our way into the Social Deck area in the bleachers.Upon arrival, we grabbed some Summer Shandys (Shandies?) and staked out a spot with my friend Craig Calcaterra of Circling the Bases, Joel Hammond of Crain's Cleveland, and Ed Carroll of Deep Left Field. Craig has already posted a terrific blow-by-blow of the game (to which I would like to say..."this") as he details the excitement over "Strasmas", including the guy behind us who was heckling Josh Willingham, Adam Dunn accidentally lowering the boom on The Axe Man, and Strasburg's issues with the mound.Going to the game, I wondered how the home crowd would treat Strasburg if he started mowing down hitters at a Kerry Woodsian clip, not quite sure if Indians' "fans" would be cheering him on to strike out Indians' hitters or if there would be that feeling of dread/excitement that was prevalent in the Galarraga Non-Perfect game. The question was never answered as the Indians worked up his pitch count with Hafner and Santana putting up solid AB against Jesus Strasburg and the rest of the lineup looking like...well, like the Pirates did in Strasburg's debut. By the time the grounds crew came out the second time (this time not carrying the giant watering can that they had used the first time), the crowd had turned on Strasburg for delaying the game and acting, some perceived, as a prima donna, particularly because the second visit from the grounds crew came after consecutive walks.By the time that Strasburg had left, Trevor Crowe essentially put any thought of the Indians keeping it close out of the question by taking the worst route to a ball that I've ever seen by a MLB player (and we had the perfect view, so that is not hyperbole) in person as his unsurprising defensive deficiencies led to the opening of the dam, with Tony Sipp making sure the spigot remained on for the Nats until the end of the game.All told, Strasburg was impressive with his lighting up of the radar gun and his "drop off the table" curveball, but the most enjoyable part of the day (which was purported to have the potential to be "history in the making") was watching baseball with friends who like baseball on a warm summer afternoon on the North Coast.Steve Strasburg or no Steve Strasburg, I'll take that any time I can...__________ Speaking of warm summer days, while I'm not sure that anyone even cares about this, the race to be named "Beer for the Summer" has been whittled down to three. After having dinner last weekend at Fat Head's in North Olmsted and enjoying some fine pilsners, I decided that a pilsner would be a suitable choice for the summer months.One of the pilsners that I enjoyed at Fat Head's (Sunshine Pils by Troeg's) immediately vaulted to the top of the list, but I enjoyed a couple of Lagunitas Pils' throughout the course of the weekend and located some Victory Prima Pils on a trip to Heinen's on Sunday, so the race is on between those three for the vaunted (?) spot in one man's quest for the ultimate summer beer, circa 2010.Having located a local source for each, let the games begin...__________ Moving on to more relevant matters, with the recent promotion of OF Jordan Henry to Akron, that means that three of the 2009 draft picks have already made it to AA, almost exactly a year after each was drafted. Henry joins Jason Kipnis (2nd Round), who has played 2 games in Akron and Alex White (1st Round) who has started 4 games for the Aeros already. Henry (7th Round) figures to make his debut soon and will likely join Kipnis (now a 2B) up the middle of the diamond to back Alex White (1.47 ERA, 0.88 WHIP, 19 K, 13 BB in 30 2/3 IP over his first 4 starts in Akron) for the rest of the summer at Canal Park.Obviously, these guys were all college players and Kipnis (23), Henry (22), and White (21) are still just getting their feet wet in AA, but it continues the trend of the Indians pushing their prospects up the organizational ladder much more quickly than they had in the past.It would seem that the Indians are loading up, as much as possible, their top two farm teams to line these players up (while competing at a "high" level of competition) for Cleveland. While some people don't want to hear about prospects and "what could be", with the influx of talent that has come from outside of the organization because of trades, it is positive to see players drafted by the Indians as recently as last year move so quickly through the organization to ascend to the upper levels.__________ Speaking of prospects (and it seems like I have a lot recently), since the Cliff Lee trade talks are going to dominate the national coverage for a while, let's revisit the CP-to-Philly move one more time as SI.com's Jon Heymann puts a bow on it when he talks about how Clifton Phifer is going to be traded at some point in the next 6 weeks:Lee's value is pretty well set, having been traded twice in the past 12 months. In July 2009, the Indians dealt him to the Phillies for four solid-to-good good prospects and last December the Phils sent him to Seattle for three prospects of similar ilk. The value of top-flight prospects is so high now that last year the Red Sox turned down a straight-up offer of Lee-for Clay Buchholz, even before Buchholz raised his worth by being Boston's most consistent starter early this season.This is not to make another assertion that it's too early to judge the Lee deal for the Indians, but rafter to rebuff the idea that the Indians are merely given free reign over the selection of prospects, even it it does involve 1 ½ years of the reigning Cy Young Award winner. According to Heymann (and it was reported other places at the time), "turned down a straight-up offer of Lee-for Clay Buchholz" and the Indians likely entertained various packages before deciding to accept the offer on the table for Lee and shipping CP to Philly. __________ That being said, now that we're "After Strasburg" and before the real Trading Season starts, the Indians look to finish out their homestand on a high note as they attempt to slow the suddenly resurgent Mets down while showcasing one Jake Westbrook to the Mets' brass on Thursday night.

The Android platform already has a successful mapping system in the form of Google Maps, so will Nokia's Here Maps service - announced as coming to Android in the first quarter of 2013 - have enough impact to disrupt current users' map preferences?
Pocket-lint has been playing with the Android version on a Samsung Galaxy S3 several months ahead of its final release, and we think the answer to that question is a resounding yes.
There's nothing wrong with Google Maps - it's a great, well-established service that will be hard to topple given how it's integrated into devices. But Nokia's Here Maps has plenty to shout about, particularly as the Android version ports the majority of the premium Windows Phone 8 version.
READ: 'Here' by Nokia: New cloud-based mapping service
The first thing that stands out above all else is the offline mode. It's possible to download huge chunks of the globe and store this data in full on the host Android device. Better still, as the software is vector-based rather than tile, the file size is considerably smaller. Around 50,000 times smaller, in fact. Now that means the entirety of the USA could be stored in full on a device with only a 2.5GB impact to a microSD card or on-board memory. Or you could put the whole world on there, y'know, just because you could.
The second standout feature is the integration of 3D mapping, built in fluidly to the interface. We pinched, rotated and used two-finger vertical swipes to adjust the camera position. The overlay of 3D buildings helps to give a sense of location or, if you don't like them, then dump them out of view and go to a more "traditional" top-down map in any number of display modes. But it's much cooler to be looking around the "real" world in a format that makes everyone seem more like mini beings from The Sims computer game.
This kind of 3D overlay may sound like an unnecessary gimmick, but in directions mode, such as for satnav, it gives a sense of place and visual markers that will assist in getting to the right destination.
The SGS3 we tested it with runs the app super smoothly, and lends itself well to all the little flourishes built into the system. Jump into a street view level, for example, and the transition between top-down is done in a sweeping movement that, while not 100 per cent perfect, has a believable, fluid-like motion.
The fundamental basics work a treat too. An obvious essential, because who wants a pretty interface that doesn't know how to direct you to the local pub or locate those important landmarks?
As per all the other versions of the application, the Android version of Here will come with a variety of goodies including real-time traffic updates, live public transport schedules direct from providers, and aggregated information about surrounding businesses and venues (sourced from the likes of Zagat, Tripadvisor and, in the future, potentially more social bases). All of these update in real time when linked to a data connection, so if there's a traffic accident down the road the directions will automatically update the route.
There are even in-progress features such as venue view which details the component shops in a shopping centre, mall or outlet store, while individual 3D buildings can be tapped to be isolated from the map - doing so pops up a miniature animated street level frame to confirm it's the location you're looking for. Make it full screen with a simple double tap and you can be walking around outside. Well, virtually.
Nokia also has a team working behind the scenes verifying buildings for accuracy and location, which is an ongoing process - semi-transparent blue buildings, rather than totally see-through ones are verified. The purpose of this is more for its native Windows Phone 8 iteration, but as all the data works across devices, Android users will gain the benefit of this too.
Maybe maps aren't always the most exciting of subjects, but Nokia's come up with a blistering port of an already excellent system here. And sometimes it's those small things that make the biggest of differences to the day-to-day routine. We've only scratched the surface and we're sure there'll be some blips and bugs to iron out, but from what we've seen so far it's looking good.
Here will be a must for Android users, although we'll all have to wait until 2013 for the finished version to become available.

looks fairly cool and seems well equipped. I like Acer, the Aspire One kicked ass.
Acer has unwrapped its iPad alternative, the ten-inch Iconia Tab A500, which features the now de rigeuer Android 3.0 Honeycomb. Due in April, the A500 is powered by Nvidia's two-core Tegra 250 chip running at 1GHz. The 10.1in screen has a 1280 x 800 resolution, but you can also play content through the tablet's mini HDMI port …
looks fairly cool and seems well equipped. I like Acer, the Aspire One kicked ass.
Looks nice. Acer produces some of the best laptops and netbooks. El Reg's reviews concur with the matter. So this could be a very nice product. Can't wait for pricing to be announced...
This one is at the top of the list of Tablets for me.
Can anyone explain to me why you'd want a rear-facing camera on a device like this? Genuine question, as I can't imagine a situation in which I'd need it, certainly not one to justify the extra cost, however little that may be in practice. I may, however, be missing the point..
A quick straw poll around the office (ok thats only 4 people) but no one can think of a really good reason for a camera on the back of something this big. I mean your hardly going to whip this out for some quick fire photography like you can with a phone camera, and with only 4MP with no optics, the quality is not going to be anything to write home about...
Ideas anyone? Is it just because the Ipad had one that everyones copying it even if its next to useless?
I use the rear camera on my Galaxy Tab for taking pics of whiteboards etc and putting them into Evernote.
although ipad2 might though.
A rear facing camera is useful for ...
+ Augmented reality apps ... kinda fun when linked with a GPS and a gyroscope
+ Barcode scanning
+ Google Goggles
+ snapshot note taking or document "scanning"
+ Things we haven't thought of yet
The spec and hardware requirements for a standard "android device" (eg GPS) actually include both front and rear facing cameras in the spec. Without the extra camera there is no access to the marketplace unless you manually install it.
Disclamer : This is something "I read some where" though so I could easy be wrong BUT I does seem logic to a degree. When designing a marketplace app you need to be assured basic/minium hardware requirements.
Rear Camera is essential for AU apps like dishpointer.
I suspect that, at least in part, it is just "Feature tick box". In Dixons and the like, these things are displayed with a list of features with ticks next to them if they have it. If this device doesn't have a tick next to "5MP camera" and a rival next to it, at a similar price, does - joe public will buy the one that seems to offer most bang-for-the-buck.
Also, there are apps on the Android Marketplace which require a camera. I can imagine it being useful for something like Google SkyMap.
Google Sky Map? Uses the camera? Clever how it works in pitch darkness then ...
Looks like they're in for a fail with a low capacity battery?
It looks a nice product but if (like their early netbooks) the battery life is dire then it will fail to sell in large numbers (just to the early adopters and gadget freaks - which could include me 8-).
...we have a few Acers around the house but, in terms of features and most bang for your buck, I don't think you can move past Asus. I'll be watching this one for a price (and it does look cool) but I'll be comparing it to any Asus offerings before I make my final decision.
Looks a really nice tablet and I would be very keen to get one but it depends entirely on battery life. Hopefully some figures will come out soon on that or else it might have to end up being the Samsung, though i'd rather buy an Acer.

Social media optimization and social media marketing really got their start in 2006, with a blog post by Rohit Bhargava. To some extent, it existed before that post, of course; it's worth noting that Facebook had been founded only two years before. Rohit codified rules, which others expanded on. He updated those rules several years later.
As you'd expect, since we're dealing with the online world, a lot has happened in the six years since Rohit wrote that post. And if you're trying to understand it all, it's downright scary. Business Insider posted an insane but painfully accurate infographic to get that point across. Even the graphic's creator missed something; Pinterest wasn't included, and really should have been.
The graphic separates services and websites important to social media marketing into no fewer than 28 different categories. Twenty-eight! And they're all legitimate, as near as I can tell. All of a sudden, I feel a certain sympathy with General Motors for removing its advertising from Facebook. Perhaps it was simply a matter of not being able to keep everything straight, and giving up on trying.
In this article (and the ones that follow) I'm going to explain these different social media categories. Hopefully, rather than contributing to the confusion, I'll help you get a handle on each of these areas. We'll take a look at what they are, what they do, some of the major players, and their marketing potential.
Facebook and Twitter are practically in a class by themselves; they've certainly spawned several separate categories. Twitter has its own third-party apps, while Facebook features Facebook apps, and Facebook gaming, which Business Insider's infographic treats as a separate category.
Twitter applications include such items as TwitPic, StockTwits, wefollow, tweetmeme, twitvid, Listorious, and more. These services vary in their specific goals, but in general, they try to enable their users to get more personalization, functionality, or efficiency out of the microblogging site. Or in other words, they make it easier for users to pursue their personal interests through Twitter.
For example, TwitPic helps users post pictures and videos on Twitter. StockTwits dubs itself a "financial communications platform" and tries to organize Twitter streams focused on that kind of information. It also seems to have its own, separate functionality, with members and bloggers and more; it offers a "pro" service, which is in beta. Twitvid bills itself as "a social network that connects you with the latest and greatest videos on topics and people you find interesting," presumably collecting them from Twitter. Listorious lets you find people on Twitter by topic, region or profession, and interview them by asking questions through their interface. You can add yourself to Listorious.
You can take a couple of different approaches with Twitter apps if you want to promote your company. You can do a search for Twitter apps and find some to use that work with your marketing plan. For instance, wefollow offers a list of Twitter users organized by interest, which should be pretty valuable to just about any marketer.
Or, if you're ambitious, you can think of Twitter as a "fire hose" of information and work with someone to create a specific Twitter app that would fit the theme of your company or your goals. For example – no surprise – StockTwits was founded in 2008 by long-time investor Howard Lindzon. Maybe you can come up with a Twitter app that would appeal to your potential customers or target audience, and then promote it; every time a user consults it, they'll be reminded of your company. If you choose this approach, you should still do a search for Twitter apps that are similar. You don't want to reinvent the wheel; at the very least, you want to make it better.
That's all that I have time and room for today. Next week, I'll discuss several more social media categories and how you can use them to assist you in your marketing campaign.

Clapper: I Gave 'The Least Untruthful Answer' To Wyden's 'Beating Your Wife' Question On Data Surveillance
from the oh-really-now? dept
Wyden: Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?If you'd like to see the exchange for yourself, here you go:
Clapper: No sir.
Wyden: It does not?
Clapper: Not wittingly. There are cases where they could, inadvertently perhaps, collect—but not wittingly.
ANDREA MITCHELL:That's quite an answer. First, let's go with the big one: Least untruthful manner? In other words, it was a lie, but I could have told bigger lies. But he's still admitting that it was a lie. Lying to Congress is generally not a good idea. Second: in what possible way is "Does the NSA collect any type of data at all on millions or hundreds of millions of Americans?" a loaded question of the "when did you stop beating your wife?" variety? There doesn't seem to be any unjustified assumption within the question at all. It's a pretty basic question, in which a truthful answer ("yes, we do") does not lead to a fallacious admission.
Senator Wyden made quite a lot out of your exchange with him last March during the hearings. Can you explain what you meant when you said that there was not data collection on millions of Americans?
First-- as I said, I have great respect for Senator Wyden. I thought, though in retrospect, I was asked-- "When are you going to start-- stop beating your wife" kind of question, which is meaning not-- answerable necessarily by a simple yes or no. So I responded in what I thought was the most truthful, or least untruthful manner by saying no.
So, now we have the Director of National Intelligence lying, admitting to lying, and then blaming the questioner by making two separate false claims about his question ("it was about email" and "it was a loaded question"). Why is he still in this job?

Playing in their second to last match of the season, Vancouver Whitecaps FC women (3W-4L-6D) settled for a scoreless draw with third-place Colorado Rush (5W-4L-5D) at Valor Christian High School Stadium in Highlands Ranch, Colorado, but the result was not indicative of how things unfolded.
Despite having to adjust to playing at altitude, the visiting 'Caps dictated the play from start to finish, launching a whopping 21 shots towards the Rush goal. Rush goalkeeper Megan McCain was forced to make 15 saves, while 'Caps shot-stopper Gurveen Clair was tested just once - in the 80th minute.
"It was actually probably our best game of the season," Whitecaps FC women head coach Jesse Symons told whitecapsfc.com. "Pretty much the entire game was played in their half, but unfortunately, we weren't able to slide one by their goalkeeper."
After opening their 2012 campaign with three consecutive losses, the fifth-place 'Caps are now unbeaten in four, having only lost one match in their previous 10 United Soccer Leagues W-League fixtures.
"The way that the team has progressed from June 1st until now has been very impressive," Symons said. "Full credit to the players to keep pushing even though we've been out of the playoff race for our last couple matches."
It was clear from the opening whistle that the Blue and White came to play, with their first opportunity coming at the five-minute mark. After midfielder Jenny Jeffers played striker Mele French in behind, the Hawaiian forward went for goal, but McCain was up to the task, pushing the ball out with her right hand to keep matters scoreless.
The 'Caps let loose a flurry of shots from distance in the opening 45 minutes, but it was not until the second half that they really began to put on the attack.
Jeffers, midfielder Molly Rouse, and striker Marissa Mykines each had quality opportunities from close range, but McCain proved unbeatable as this W-League Western Conference affair ended in a deadlock.
The 'Caps now travel down the road to Commerce City, Colorado, where they will wrap up their season on Sunday against Colorado Rapids Women.

My sister and I sometimes watch anime together but we never read manga together as she's a slow reader. The one time we did read together, it was one of the latest chapters of Skip beat and we only had 1 working computer in the house. I had to read a page 3 times before my sister finished that 1 page.
I wanna be the very best, like no one ever was
I have never read a manga with anyone before. I wouldn't read the same book with a person due to different reading speeds. Sometimes I fly through a manga, but other times I like to savor the artwork. I would watch Anime with other people though (AFTER I'd seen it by myself first).
My backlog...
Hmm... I don't really do that often, but sometimes I read 'Yotsuba&!' with my little sister because all you need is a just a little briefing for that one... it's fun to laugh at the jokes with her, but it would be hard to get sucked into the book and think about it if you did it all the time, especially with more serious mangas.
I read a lot of smutty manga, so yeah I would feel uncomfortable ahah. But even so, I like generally like to be along when reading or watching stuff
Using Crunchyroll again~~
nooooooooo o.o
Especially since i read romance manga some scenes will make me feel awkward especially if its a really romantic scene (not talk about sex)
True ♥Love is a fairy tale....
I like to read manga by myself. I don't think there's anyone that I know that actually reads manga, so I'm lucky enough to not have anyone to read it with!
(╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻
I read it by myself, even though I have friends with the same interests, I don't necessarily want to read manga with them because they would probably distract me.
Uh, nope.
ive read comedies with a friend a few times but it was ok
not the best experience i wasnt a fan of being hovered while reading something while they expect me to laugh at things
i dont wanna be pressured to laugh i just want it to happen when it happens
plus we hav some series in common but i gez im into darker and in general more crazy things so there is only so much i can read with them
same here. im always read alone. if someone beside me, i wont read it.haha it feel really awkward especially when i read romance manga.
Hai Hai!!
No i read alone. But thats the same with all my books.
I dont want to come across an unexpected page where it gets really crazy, like say some ecchi stuff and i'm not comfortable with someone reading the same thing next to me thinking weird things about me. ( I know this sentence could have come out worded much better than what i just typed...)
And i especially hate hovering people, especially around when i'm reading something on the computer. You never know when something awkward pops up and the person behind you gets the wrong impression.
I think it's fun! But only if they have their own copy or something. I'm really OCD about my books and when the binding is broken >__< lol but if they read it online with me then I'm a-ok! xD
reading together? i find that this would be awkward
I'm up for a NAFTA
I once read Nana To Karou with a female friend of mine. Her idea and it would've been awkward if we didn't know pretty much every embarrasing thing about one another. Never read it prior to that.
I don't like to breath in front of people either.
It is just a book, I don't give a crap what other people think. I enjoy the manga.
When Grand Theft Auto V comes out I am running over a hooker. ಠ_ಠ

A new report indicates HTC is already working on a new device that will be able to take full advantage of T-Mobile USA's 42Mbps network speeds. Samsung and LG are also working on devices capable of achieving those same speeds on HSPA+ networks, but the report does not indicate those devices will be heading to T-Mobile.
For now, all we really know about the new HTC phone is the phone's compatibility with T-Mobile's network. We don't think it's too far of a stretch to predict it'll be equipped with a dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor or even a large qHD display. The launch date for the new HTC device is slated for the second half of 2011.
With AT&T's pending acquisition of T-Mobile, many see T-mobile as a sinking ship. Would any of you be willing to stay on board just to get a feel for what T-Mobile's 42Mbps HSPA+ network is capable of?

Tron 2 NewsEdit
Last updated on April 13, 2009
- The first pictures of production for TRON 2 have been revealed!
As you can see, filming in Vancouver is underway and a bunch of stunts that take place in the real world part of the movie have been filmed. The stunts include a motorcycle chase as well as a taxi chase, with people on top of the taxis. The first program costume has been revealed and shows a much more simplified design than the older programs of the first movie. Perhaps more circuitry or details (such as armor) will be added in post-production. The budget has been reported to be $244 million USD and a new trailer for TRON 2 will be released in summer of this year at Comic Con in San Diego.
More info is at Tron-Sector
- ScreenRant.com reported that an interview with Serinda Swan for TV Guide mentioned that she, along with Olivia Wilde, Beau Garrett and another actress will play "temptresses from inside the computer world" for Tron 2. She also mentioned that the costumes that they will be wearing have lights sewn into them to recreate the backlit circuitry effect that Tron is famous for.

TR2N NewsEdit
Last updated on January 7, 2008
- Olivia Wilde was interviewed by SCI-FI Wire about TR2N. Unfortunately, few new details emerged from the interview, however she revealed that Bruce Boxleitner was returning as either Alan Bradley or Tron, Joseph Kosinski will be building massive sets for TR2N instead of shooting on greenscreens and will begin shooting in April in Vancouver, Canada. Also, face-replacement technology, similar to the effects seen in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button will be used.
- Reporters say that Garrett Hedlund will play the lead in TR2N. Hedlund will play the lead, a man who finds himself pulled into the world of a computer and retracing the steps of Kevin Flynn. Hedlund's credits include Troy, Friday Night Lights, Four Brothers, Eragon and Georgia Rule. The same article that reported this also said that TR2N was simply renamed to Tron, which will cause a lot of confusion if this name change sticks. This is also the fourth time the name of the sequel —has been changed.

Hi all,
I'm Nathan. Great to be here.
A bit about me... I'm an Aussie who has been drawing since I can remember. My favourite medium is pencil on paper, but I love playing with acrylics, oils and watercolour too. I'm also a fan of digital painting too.
I'm here because I'm looking to take my art to the next level, improve, refine, and maybe see if I can learn to make some money from it too
See you around the forum

The Scottish champions went into the match knowing they would qualify for the knockout stages only if they got a better result against the Russian club, consigned to the bottom of the table, than the Lisbon club got in the Nou Camp.
In the second half of a tense evening at Celtic Park with the game tied at 1-1 after Gary Hooper's opener had been cancelled out Ari, a roar swept around the stadium which suggested that Barca had scored against the Portuguese club.
However, it was an erroneous call, the game in the Nou Camp finished goalless and had Kris Commons not scored from the spot with 10 minutes remaining after defender Marek Suchy was judged to have barged Georgios Samaras in the box, then it would have been Benfica and not Celtic who had gone through to the knockout stages.
Neil Lennon's men could face Manchester United, Malaga, Juventus, Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Schalke or Paris St Germain.
Keeper Forster said: "To be honest I thought the other game was 1-0 after the crowd had cheered so I was quite surprised to come off the pitch and find out it was 0-0, but big thanks to Barcelona for doing their job.
"We're delighted to be in the last 16. I think we'll take anyone, we've shown what a tough place it is to come here and we'll fancy our chances.
"I don't know if we're hoping for a really big team or a side we think we can beat, but we'll wait and see and take whoever we get, I'm just delighted to get there.
"The manager was delighted, as was everyone. I think he's really pleased with how the team has developed in the last couple of years and it's obviously a huge thing for the club."
Two minutes from time Spartak midfielder Kim Kallstrom picked up a second yellow card for a foul on Commons who was taken off on a stretcher, the only sour note in a momentous night for Lennon's side who finished second in Group G behind Barcelona with 10 points and who are in the knockout stages for the first time since the 2007/08 season.
The Parkhead men had to fight their way through two qualifying rounds and were then unfancied when drawn alongside the Russian club, Benfica and Barcelona.
And the Celtic manager was referring to that scepticism when he said: "It means the world to me as a young manager in my first year in the Champions League to qualify with 10 points. I am very proud of the players, they have performed a miracle.
"People laughed at me when I said at the start that my target was to qualify.
"No one gave us a prayer going into this group but we have qualified and deservedly so."

Trend Watch 2010: Food Trends
A few more nitty-gritty consumer trends and trendlets to watch in the new year.
Trend watching, just like your personal resolutions, takes on new significance at the end of one year and the start of another to make sure your company ship is headed in the right direction. Here is my second installment of trends and trendlets, especially from the consumer perspective, to look out for in 2010. (See the first installment, Trend Watch: Food Trends to Watch in 2010)
Less is More Desirable -- Consumers yearning for simplicity don't want to use a dictionary when they check a food label. Fewer ingredients reassure them of the purity of the food and sends signals that the food is healthier and safer. Simplicity is a continuing trend. From 2005 to 2008, there was a 65 percent increase in new products using the words "simple" or "simply" in the product or brand name, according to Datamonitor, New York.
Fewer health claims on a package are better; it's less confusing. Concentrate on the ultimate benefit – taste and heart health. Included in this trend is "free from" – allergen-free, salt-free, sugar-free, preservative-free. Now if only we could get those products for free.
Authentic and natural products continue to resonate, although they have to be affordable. Meanwhile, organic seems to have stalemated due to pricing and critical reporting on whether those foods are any healthier than non-organics. Products made in the U.S. by American-based companies also resonate well, as a back-to-basics trust mentality becomes more entrenched.
Healthy Is as Healthy Does – Consumers do want to eat more healthily, but are more skeptical of health claims, functional foods and vitamins in products not inherently healthy. It's going to be a real challenge for manufacturers, as the FDA scrutinizes health claims. However, adding nuts of all types, vegetables, grains, live probiotics and fruits to products brings them up a notch in consumers' minds and toward the naturally good-for-you trend.
Some 20 percent of the population is 55 or older, and they seek healthier ingredient profiles. Looking for the fountain of youth will continue to grow as a trend for aging baby boomers, and food and beverages that can latch onto those youthful energy and beauty benefits should do quite nicely. Immunity-enhancing and antioxidant-rich products are golden, as consumers do believe in those benefits.
Assemblage and Nukability -- The economic downturn can be blamed for a number of lifestyle changes, but causing Americans to cook more is not one of them, according to the 24th annual report on "Eating Patterns in America," recently released by The NPD Group. Americans are eating at home more, and have been since the beginning of the decade, but last year they turned to their microwaves.
"Microwaving has been flat for two decades, but it increased last year as Americans found a way to eat at home and not cook," says Harry Balzer, NPD's chief industry analyst. "We're using our microwaves to warm and heat more, but not prepare more dishes from scratch." It is notable that approximately 20 percent of all meals prepared in U.S. homes from 1990-2007 involved the use of a microwave, until last year when usage rose 10 percent.
Balzer said stovetops remain the most popular cooking appliance but the percent of main meals prepared on a stovetop dropped from 52 percent in 1985 to 33 percent in 2009. "There was a lot of speculation last year as to how our eating behaviors changed as a result of the economic crisis. The truth is that consumer behavior changes slowly," says Balzer. "I've observed America's eating patterns in good and bad economies, and the constant is that there is no recession in eating ─ and Americans don't want to cook what they eat."
Perimeter Shopping -- What the recession has wrought, among other things, is a transfer of dollars away from dining out toward spending more on prepared meals at retail. A 2009 Nielsen survey for 12 months ending September 2009 finds that 46 percent of American households are eating out less. Perishable departments, those located on the perimeter of your grocery store, were the most productive departments at retail, according to new research from Nielsen. Fresh meat and seafood cooked up sales of $437 per household per year for a 4 percent gain, and produce increased 3 percent based on annual average sales of $279 per household. Deli spend was $200, a 5 percent increase from last year, and Bakery whipped up average annual household sales of $174 per year with a 3 percent increase. Nielsen also found that more than one million viewers watched the Food Network during prime time in 2009 — a 16 percent increase over full-year 2008 -- for inspiration. It should be no surprise that Rachel Ray, whose recipes are simple and inexpensive, is the most popular show host.
New Frugality -- As long as consumers are worried about the economy, price will continue to be an important ingredient in shopping behaviors. Consumers believe name brands are more reliable (37 percent) and are better quality products (39 percent) than store brands, but more than eight of 10 (84 percent) also believe name brands are more expensive. Private label items keep taking share from branded products because they are less expensive, and consumers won't return to name brands in the foreseeable future, predicts "supermarket guru" Phil Lempert, of the Lempert Report. And now Wal-Mart's Great Value brand, with its 5,200 SKUs in 100 categories, is the largest grocery brand. If you can't beat them, join them.
The Integer Group and M/A/R/C Research, who are jointly conducting a year-long shopper experience study, say it is inevitable that CPG brands will join forces with private label to co-brand products – for example a Wal-Mart private label macaroni and cheese boasting Kraft cheese.

With a few exceptions in deep rural areas, electricity is available almost everywhere in South Africa.
With the growth of the population, business and industry, supply is sometimes under pressure, particularly in densely populated urban areas when usage reaches a peak, such as on winter evenings, resulting in a power outage.
The supplier of South African electrictiy, Eskom, and government, have prioritised the extension of the South African electrical grid with the construction of new power stations, Diversification of poweer sources and instituting energy efficient programmes.
Tourists to South Africa should be aware that:
- The South African electricity supply is 220/230 volts AC 50 HZ.
- Most plugs are 15 amp 3-prong or 5 amp 2-prong, with round pins. If an adaptor is called for, consider bringing one with you, although they can be purchased locally.
- US-made appliances may need a transformer.
- Most hotel rooms have 110 volt outlets for electric shavers and appliances.

Complete Hermann Trophy Semifinalist Release
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. -- Senior forward Andre Akpan of the Harvard men's soccer team has been named one of 15 semifinalists for the 2009 Missouri Athletic Club's Hermann Trophy, the highest individual honor in intercollegiate soccer. Akpan is making his third consecutive appearance among the semifinalists.
Harvard's all-time leading scorer with 127 points, Akpan also ranks first in school history with 33 assists and finished his career tied with Chris Ohiri '64 for first with 47 goals. A native of Grand Prairie, Texas, Akpan, as four-time All-Ivy honoree, was tabbed the Ivy League Player of the Year this season and was an unanimous selection to the All-Ivy first team. Akpan has also received several national postseasn honors, as he is a nominee for Soccer News Net Player of the Year and earned a nod to the Top Drawer Soccer National Team of the Year, garnering a spot on the second team.
A co-captain of the Crimson, Akpan, a forward, led Harvard with 12 goals this fall, netting four game-winning tallies. He paced the team with 30 points, ranking him 17th in the nation with 1.58 points per game. Akpan, a two-time NSCAA All-America choice, was also an Academic All-Ivy League choice and received a nod to the ECAC Division I Men's Soccer All-Star first team this fall.
Division I college head coaches with current membership in the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) will vote to determine the 2009 MAC Hermann Trophy recipient. Three finalists for the award will be announced on Friday, Dec. 11. The three finalists will then be invited to the Missouri Athletic Club in St. Louis for a news conference on Friday, Jan. 8, 2010, where the winner will be announced. A dinner and formal presentation of the award will follow the news conference that evening.
