Carrier news about Samsung's latest devices are slowly making the rounds. We got a good look at the Galaxy Note 3 and the companion Galaxy Gear smartwatch yesterday at Samsung's event. The Note looks like a solid update to Samsung's line of phablets, but the Gear pretty much requires a new or nearly new Samsung phone to function, so its appeal is pretty limited.
First up is AT&T, which will let you pre-order the Note 3 from this page. The device is $299.99 on a two-year contract—$724.99 off-contract—and will ship "around October 1st." AT&T says it will have the Galaxy Gear "in the coming weeks," but it doesn't have a solid release date yet.
T-Mobile is a little more organized, listing the Note 3 and Galaxy Gear for October 2nd for $299.99 each. Getting the Note 3 at that price requires a two-year contract, or you can buy it outright for $703.99. There's no pre-order available yet.
Verizon has jumped into the fray, too; it has the Note 3 available for pre-order for $299.99 on contract and $699.99 off. Verizon's says pre-orders "will ship by 10/10." The Galaxy Gear is listed only as a bundle with the Note 3 for $599.98 on a two-year contract.
The last member of the the big four, Sprint, currently only has a teaser page up of a black silhouette for the Note 3.
Something to keep in mind is that the Galaxy Gear really has nothing to do with the carriers, so if your favorite cell operator isn't offering the Gear, you can always buy it from somewhere else and it will work just fine. It's just a Wi-Fi device, after all.

According to Hallmark, today is National Play-Doh Day! We're not sure what September 16th has to do with Play-Doh, but here are some fun facts about the toy that started as a household cleaner.
1. Play-Doh was first sold as a wallpaper cleaner. People could remove soot and dirt from their wall coverings by simply rolling the wad of goop across the surface.
2. We might not have Play-Doh if it weren't for Captain Kangaroo. When it was just a fledgling company with no advertising budget, inventor Joe McVicker talked his way in to visit Bob Keeshan, A.K.A. Captain K. Although the company couldn't pay the show outright, McVicker offered them two percent of Play-Doh sales for featuring the product once a week. Keeshan loved the compound and began featuring it three times weekly. After that, it caught on like wildfire and was featured on DingDongSchool and Romper Room.
3. Since its inception, two billion cans of Play-Doh have been sold. Not bad for wallpaper cleaner. If you took all of that Play-Doh ever made and wadded it into a giant ball, it would weigh as much as 2,000 Statues of Liberty.
4. Back when it was a household cleaner, the product came in only one dud of a color: off-white. When it hit stores as a toy in 1955, red, blue and yellow were available. These days, you can find nearly every color of the rainbow, but a consumer poll taken in 2000 revealed that the fan favorites are rose red, purple paradise, garden green and blue lagoon.
5. For quite some time, Dr. Tien Liu had a resume blurb no one else in the world could claim: Play-Doh expert. Liu helped perfect the Play-Doh formula for the original company, Rainbow Crafts, and stayed on as a Play-Doh Expert when the modeling compound was purchased by Kenner and then Hasbro.
6. Want to smell like Play-Doh? You can. Demeter Fragrance Library worked with Hasbro to make the fragrance to commemorate Play-Doh's 50th anniversary. Hasbro said the fragrance is "meant for highly creative people, who seek a whimsical scent reminiscent of their childhood."
7. When biometric scanners were a bit more primitive, people discovered that you could make a mold of a person's finger, then squish Play-Doh in the mold to make a replica of the finger that would actually fool fingerprint scanners. That won't work with today's more sophisticated systems.
8. The Play-Doh Dr. Drill 'n Fill set seems a bit bizarre to me. It consisted of a giant head with a giant set of teeth for you to improve – jam Play-Doh in a cavity-riddled tooth to "fill" it or even pull teeth past saving with the pliers that came with the set. Despite the weird Dr. Drill 'n Fill, it seems most Play-Doh sets are meant to encourage kids to eat the pliable putty, a habit that kids seem prone to anyway. Food-based sets include Breakfast Time (complete with Play-Doh waffle iron), Burger Builder, Spaghetti Factory, Barbeque Playset, Ice Cream Shoppe, Fun Food Poppin Movie Snacks, Pizza Party, Sweet Creations, Sandwich Shop, Fabulous Fruits… man, I kind of have a hankering for some salty, nontoxic dough right now…
9. You can make your own Play Doh. Here are several different recipes, including an edible peanut butter dough.
10. That little guy on the box? His name is Play-Doh Pete. He has evolved quite a bit over the years – back in the early days, the Play-Doh mascot was a somewhat creepy-looking elf. Sometime in the '60s, the mascot morphed into a beret-wearing boy and picked up the name Pete. Although his looks and style changed a little over the years, Pete didn't drop the beret until the 1990s, when he picked up more of a teenage look and a cool new baseball cap.
Happy National Play-Doh Day to you and yours! Click the image above to download the coloring sheet. Enjoy!

tough day as i wtruggled to settle on one player with having 6 possibilities in my head for a few hours.
Pierzynski was picked by 17.. huff 4…ARamirez 5
those are your "king picks"
for the rest, Jeter picked by 25, Chipper 16, cano 13, mauer 8, Sandoval 8, Roberts 7, pujols 7, markakis 6, holliday 5, braun 4, Teixeira 4.
hope your streak continues tonight
Just noticed on the main page, Huff traded from Baltimore to Detroit. and the Tigers are OFF tonight
Chipper Jones 0-for-3, if you picked him, your streak has ended
Mauer is going to be a bad pick tonight because he is 1 for 15 against Texas this year.
Backrubs62 and vinman28,
Who did you guys take today?
I have Brian Roberts.
Thank you JM for the beautiful HR. Surprised to see lemmings not hitting you as much today. Hoping for Holliday to take a holiday. LOL!
Could be in interesting night for Cardinal hitters.
Charlie Haeger, LAD pitcher, is a knuckleballer.
Originally i had Chipper but ten minutes before the deadline i went and changed to Derek Jeter. im at 15 now
Mauer had a good night in Texas. including a HR in the first inning.
Wow. What a crappy pick for hammanm but what a luck he has. That was not even a hit. It was Holliday barely getting a bat on the heater from Broxton.
Looking for another crappy pick from him tomorrow!
He was lucky with Mauer on Sunday too.
well162 started the day above 20, but the biggest losers today are those who had Chipper jones (16) Robinson cano (13) ryan braun (4)
all total 37 lost streaks today while 9 people didnt advance cuz the player didnt play
I was watching the Holliday at bat. He fouled the pitch before off his foot and was limping. I don't see how he beat out the weak grounder he hit. I was sure the streak was dead. I will say that it was lucky but that is not a bad thing. You can't win this thing without a lot of luck. My streak of 15 ended on Monday with Damon so I'm out.

By the time he stepped away from baseball in 2014 after a historic 20-year career, Derek Jeter had established himself as one of the most respected men to ever have played the game. With a reputation as an unmatched leader both on and off the field, Jeter has quickly transitioned into a second career leading a variety of successful business ventures and entrepreneurial investments.
Most recently, he became part-owner of MLB's Miami Marlins, for whom he also now serves as CEO, overseeing the day-to-day for both the business and baseball operations for the team. He is the first African-American to serve in this role for any major league team in the history of the sport.
Jeter is also the founder of The Players' Tribune, an innovative multimedia company where world-class athletes share their honest and unique perspectives, bringing fans closer to the games they love. In November 2013, Jeter and Simon & Schuster announced the Jeter Publishing imprint, which includes both adult and children's books verticals. The first booked released, The Contract, debuted at #2 on The New York Times Children's Middle Grade bestseller list. In October 2014, the imprint released a full-color photo book called Jeter Unfiltered, also a bestseller, providing fans an in-depth look at his life through never-before-published images taken over the course of his final season. He also serves as Partner and Brand Development Officer of Luvo, a transformational lifestyle food brand where he is involved in product development, brand awareness and strategic partnerships.
Jeter continues to be the driving force behind the Turn 2 Foundation, which he established in 1996 to give back to the communities with which he has a close connection, including West Michigan, Tampa and New York City. He satisfies his passion for inspiring young people through initiatives - like the Jeter's Leaders program - that promote academic excellence, leadership development, positive behavior, healthy choices and social change. To date, the Turn 2 Foundation has awarded more than $27 million in grants to create and support signature programs that motivate young people to turn away from drugs and alcohol and "Turn 2" healthy lifestyles.
A five-time World Series champion and member of baseball's exclusive 3,000-hit club, Jeter earned numerous accolades throughout his career in recognition of both his on-field skill and his commitment to the community, including: World Series MVP (2000); 14 MLB All-Star selections; 5 Gold Glove Awards; 5 Silver Slugger Awards; AL Rookie of the Year (1996); Roberto Clemente Award (2009); and Sports Illustrated Sportsman of the Year Award (2009). In 2017, the Yankees retired his No. 2 jersey and unveiled a plaque in the famed Monument Park in recognition of his historic career with the organization.

Trailer Voice-Over Work Scarce for Women
|Melissa Disney, top, did the voice-over for the trailer for "Gone in 60 Seconds," starring Angelina Jolie and Nicolas Cage. Women "have so much more to pull from than your typical male action voice," Ms. Disney said.
By ANDY ISAACSON
Published: January 27, 2012
WHAT gender is the voice of God?
The question has been pondered by mystics through the ages, but in the sanctuary of cinema the voice of a sonorous, authoritative, fear-inspiring yet sometimes relatable presence is, invariably, that of a man. Consider the trailer and the omniscient, disembodied voice that introduces moviegoers to a fictional world.
"Most movie trailers are loud and strong, and film studios want that male impact, vocally and thematically," said Jeff Danis, an agent who represents voice-over artists. "Even if it's a romantic comedy or nonaction movie, they still want that certain power and drama that men's voices tend to convey on a grander scale."
Even now movie trailers and promos largely hew to a template created 40 years ago by Don LaFontaine, Hollywood's most prolific voice-over artist. Possessor of a resonant baritone that could cut through tight sequences of music and sound bites — and the coiner of familiar (and parodied) phrases like "In a world …" and "One man, one destiny" — LaFontaine, who died in 2008, voiced more than 5,000 trailers, 350,000 commercials and thousands of television promos.
In the past few years, as audiences have grown more sophisticated, the independent production companies that make trailers for Hollywood studios have begun moving away from voice-overs, favoring graphic devices like title cards to serve as narration. "As much as possible people are trying to let the movie speak for itself, without being as heavy handed as the 'voice of God' narrator feels," said John Long of Buddha Jones Trailers, which was responsible for campaigns for "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Inglourious Basterds," among others.
Still, plenty of voice-over jobs remain, especially in television, though women are seldom cast. "There are some very talented, very gifted women in this business that can satisfy any request for a narrator, but the opportunities aren't given to them," said Mike Soliday, a talent agent who represents prominent male voice artists like Scott Rummell and Tony Rodgers.
As Mr. Danis put it, "Trailers are really the last frontier for women."
Mr. Long noted that his company had worked on dozens of campaigns a year, "and as much as everyone talks about wanting to be innovative and do unexpected things, the idea of a female voice doesn't come up that often," he said. "It's really not part of the formula. Maybe that's our own shortsightedness."
Asked to name a theatrical campaign that featured a female voice, trailer makers interviewed for this article could easily recall just one: "Gone in 60 Seconds," the 2000 action thriller that starred Nicolas Cage and Angelina Jolie. "It was filled with really sexy and fast and fantastic-looking cars, and shot with a ton of energy," recalled Skip Chaisson of Skip Films, who produced the trailer. "What else did it need? I thought it would be cool if we had a really sexy female voice. In a way we were doing a car commercial, so why not go as far with it as we can?"
Melissa Disney, who did the voice-over for "Gone in 60 Seconds" and works frequently on television promos, commercials and animated series, argued that "men are very attracted to women's voices, especially when they are sexy and sultry." She continued: "Women have such a large range. We have so much more to pull from than your typical male action voice."
One challenge women face is the perception in the industry that it's difficult for their voices to be heard over a trailer's cacophony, an attitude some voice-over artists dispute. "To say that a woman's voice won't cut through a trailer just isn't true," said Joan Baker, the author of "Secrets of Voice-Over Success" and a friend of LaFontaine's. "What women's voices have is emotionality and color and a certain kind of rhythm. Don would even say, 'My voice isn't right for everything.' He felt it was ridiculous that women were not used in movie trailers. But no one wants to change what isn't broken."
Do moviegoers want to hear female voices? Research indicates that our brains are wired to prefer theirs to male ones; that's the reason robotic voices, like those in GPS devices, tend to be female. (This probably has an evolutionary explanation: fetuses in the womb, identifying with their caretaker, can distinguish their mother's voice from others, a study published in the journal Psychological Science found.) When it comes to credibility, however, research into the perceived believability of a voice — an important quality for the omniscient narrator of a trailer, as well as the spokesman or -woman for any product, which is the function a trailer serves — tells a different story.
"On average both males and females trust male voices more," said Clifford Nass, a professor of communications at Stanford, noting some gender disparity exists in that women don't distrust female voices as much as men distrust them. In one study conducted at Stanford two versions of the same video of a woman were presented to subjects: one had the low frequencies of the woman's voice increased and the high frequencies reduced, the other vice versa. Consistently subjects perceived the deep voice to be smarter, more authoritative and more trustworthy.
Science aside, the conventional wisdom in the movie industry has it that audiences respond more favorably to trailers with male voice-overs. "People don't buy that product from women, and I don't know why," said Seth Gaven of AV Squad, which produced the trailers and television campaigns for "The King's Speech" and "Captain America." "Female voice-overs don't have the same credibility. Sometimes I'll even consider a few guys with similar voices, and one might be a little more resonant and commanding, even in a subtle way. He usually gets the job."
In television many cable channels regularly aim programming at women, and there has been more latitude in the use of female voices. "We're all trying to make shows that cut through the clutter and stick out," said Tim Nolan, senior vice president for marketing at Lifetime Networks. "But for me it's less about being authoritative and more about being relatable. It's a big turnoff for TV consumers if they think they're being sold. Whether the show's about fashion or drama or reality, it's about which voice is telling those stories better."
In testing "One Born Every Minute," a Lifetime series set in an Ohio maternity ward, the channel found that audiences responded most favorably to a voice-over by Jamie Lee Curtis, even before they recognized her, Mr. Nolan recalled, adding: "One women said that the voice understood who she was."

CHICAGO — After filing its long-awaited financials in late November, Bally Total Fitness may be on the road to recovery or a possible sale.
The fitness operator is working with JPMorgan Securities Inc. and the Blackstone Group to investigate options including a possible sale or merger. Bally hired Blackstone 10 months ago to assist in its turnaround strategy and retained JPMorgan in late November to explore strategic initiatives. Bally CEO Paul Toback said he hasn't received any formal offers for the company, and he's not prepared to set a timetable for a future sale of Bally.
While the company may be looking for a buyer, the health-club chain still has more than $743 million in debt and is under an ongoing Securities and Exchange Commission investigation, said Matt Messinger, Bally spokesperson. Consultant Michael Scott Scudder, president of Fit Focus, said Bally may be turning itself around, but it still faces a lot of road blocks.
Consultant Michael Scott Scudder, the president of Fit Focus, said he carefully evaluated Bally's recently released financial statements and listened to the investor conference call. He said while he's still perplexed by their financial situation, he said it appears the company may be turning itself around. But he said the company still has 1.4 times as much debt as assets and marginal profits.
"I think it will take them 24 months or more to pull it off, but they may not be able to stay in the game long enough because of lack of cash," he said. "And they are banking on one terribly important intangible that all of us in the business face every day: can they get, train and systematize employees to deliver on the promise?"

A Dream Come True: The Journey To Meeting Jessie J
It's been such a long time since I felt inspired to blog because my life has consisted predominately of feeling sick, going to the hospital getting treatment and coming back feeling worse during the battle for my life. Even so, overall I'm still a happy person, I pray a lot, listen to music and use makeup to keep myself sane and inspired. I love all types of music and music has been a part of my life since I was very little in huge way. At age 5 I started taking voice lessons at the YMCA realizing very early when I was singing it didn't matter that I was in a wheelchair. people saw my heart they didn't assume that I wasn't intelligent they didn't care that couldn't run across the playground they saw who I really was inside and not differences. Music helped me get through a world wind childhood filled with a sick mother who was a prisoner of multiple addictions. It wasn't long before I started entering voice competitions to earn money for food and for what I called my just in case money stash to give me a sense of security to care for me and my sister. Those circumstances put a lot of pressure on me to succeed, instead, of concentrating on that pressure, I made it a game against myself to always keep improving.
Late at night when I couldn't sleep because I was hungry or because my mom had not returned home I would hold my hand brush in my hand and pretend to be Singing on stage with Whitney Houston as I belted it out "Saving All My Love For You" at eight years old. Whitney Houston was what I strived to be as a Singer. Fast forward to age 17 doing a voice competition in a small theater Washington D.C.I was offered a record deal. With a broken heart I turned it down because I couldn't imagine leaving my sister and because I was a minor and my mother was too jealous to grant me the permission. My mother also could sing before drugs and alcohol destroyed her voice she could sing along with Barbra Streisand and you absolutely could not tell the difference between her voice and the record. I went into a deep depression for about a year because I wasn't able to take that opportunity after working so hard. However, I never stopped getting good grades in school because I knew good grades and education was my only chance to do better for myself and my sister. Thank God, I had two Aunts my grandmother's sisters who wanted me to have the world and showed me what unconditional love was. My aunt encouraged me to join the drama club when I started high school as well as choir because she saw how fearless I was on stage and how much I loved it. She used to say it may not be easy for you to get opportunity to be in front of crowds because of your differences but the world needs to see you on the stage to make a difference on a large-scale. Getting the chance to audition for Tish School of the arts in New York City was amazing and my Aunt put money aside to save up for the train tickets and the hotel as the audition process was a two day thing. I did my audition in front of a panel of five faculty I put my whole heart into it, a full portfolio of how I would Direct a play by Tennessee Williams.
I was devastated when I didn't get in until at the very last moment a professor came running out who had been on the panel and said, " please don't be discouraged your audition was flawless, logistically the school would be very difficult for you to manage with your wheelchair, the buildings are old elevators don't work and the amounts of snow that we get in the winter. Of course, the rest of the panel will deny this as the reason but I could not put my head down tonight having you think it was because your audition was not good enough. There's many amazing art schools out there just put your whole heart in that's what matters. This was the first time I began to understand that my talent may not be enough so I started studying psychology and that's the direction my life took. I don't regret it at all because it prepared me for where I am now to use my intuitive/ Mediumship skills to help people in a therapeutic way. Music was on the front burner again as I started taking art therapy classes and realizing how much music and writing helped people with healing. Getting accepted into the University of Maryland I wanted to take dance classes as my electives. Of course, the faculty was not happy thinking I would not be able to show my skills so how would I be graded. This time I wouldn't take no for an answer because it was just elective classes so I learned dance notation and I could verbally tell the dancers the different routines. At the end the faculty thanked to me saying that the dancers became better dancers having to learn to truly listen to verbal instruction of the choreography.
Working as a student therapist as student Director of the suicide crisis hot line and going to school full-time in my masters program was extremely demanding so to relax at home I would watch YouTube videos of young singers when I came across Jessie J singing Big White Room. I was one of the first 100 views on that video which now has so many but I knew in that moment she would be a massive star. She had edginess of Janis Joplin the elegance of Whitney Houston and and infectious loving quality similar to the energy of Princess Diana even in the very beginning. Eventually I had to have my thyroid removed because it just stopped working once I had that surgery I was unable to sing the same way again we now know the collapse of my thyroid was probably the first sign the rare form of cancer I am now fighting that had not been diagnosed at that time. Jessie J's passion and talent helped me through the sadness of not being able to sing the same, even though, I could hear the music the same way and it resonated to my core, I could not reproduce the notes that I heard with the same precision.
In 2010 I lost my job as a counselor due to cutbacks and I live on savings as long as I could. When I finally lost my house in 2012 because I couldn't make the payments, as I was packing up my belongings Jessie J's first album who you are was playing in the background. I will never forget praying to God to give me strength and to keep happiness in my heart even through the darkness I was facing much of the time sitting alone parking my belongings for Storage because my family had gone to heaven. The one person's voice that was always there in the background was Jessie's. Thankfully had amazing friends who helped me a as much as they could but late at night when the tears would flow it was God myself and Jess.
Slowly I began to build clientele giving intuitive readings something I had done on the side for free just to help people for years. I began to understand this was gods way of getting me on my life's purpose to really own the gifts he had given because I'm a very loyal person and otherwise I never would've quit my job to follow the path as a spiritual teacher. Having success slowly building my own business with various opportunities to do readings on stage. Most stages are not wheelchair accessible and even though, I was the entertainment often I would have to do the readings or inspirational speaking on the ground or floor in front of the stage rather than on the stage. My preparation to get ready for readings has always been listening to music beforehand, music that usually consists of pop R&B or hip hop and traveling as far as Australia to study mediumship.
The most recent challenge I've had to deal with for the last three years is battling cancer thank God for Technology that allows me to do readings worldwide by email or Skype in between treatment on the occasions when I'm feeling halfway normal. As usual whether I'm going into emergency surgery to remove my port because of infection, or going in for treatment Jessie J's singing through my phone. Hearing her voice sing conquer the world even regulated my heart beat while under anesthesia.
The power of social media and an Earth Angel disguised as a Record label executive colliding with me with the help of another Earth angel who is now in heaven named Talia Castellano who taught me through her YouTube videos how to apply makeup for my public readings and inspirational speaking. Before losing her battle to childhood cancer Talia I became friends and when I was diagnosed with cancer 31/2 years ago she was my counselor even at the young age of 12. Now I honor her by helping to carry on her legacy and finding a cure for childhood cancer because after going through this myself I'm determined no child should go through it! Working her magic from heaven she helped Jessie's Record label follow me and offer to help me get tickets if JessIe performed in Florida. Not only did I get to go to Universal Studios to see her perform but was granted the opportunity to meet her.
On April 9 with 101 fever the whole night before due to an enlarged spleen from a buildup of cancer cells and an infection and pain as a result of the enlargement. I was unable to leave on the three hour car ride up to Orlando until 1230 in afternoon. After coming up with a pain medication routine and reclining the passenger seat as far back as possible we began on the journey to make the ride to Talia's house which was about 40 minutes from Universal Studios where the concert would be that evening. Talia's sister Mattia and mom Desiree have become part of my family and a huge support system during my own Battle with this beast known as cancer. Therefore, I wanted them to join me in this exciting Adventure of meeting Jessie J. My friend Sandra who is my sister by choice because she's been with me through everything losing my job losing my house losing my health traveling an hour once a week just to bring food because I couldn't afford to buy any or because I was too sick to make it myself. Sandra is my very best friend, she knows my heart, she knows my faults, she knows my flaws, she knows my happiness, knows my sadness, she knows my abilities and my disabilities and loves me no matter what. So she also had to be a part of this is special celebration of life through Jessie's music.
When we arrived at the house we only have an hour before we had to leave for the concert so we quickly got out of the car and Mattia did my makeup while Desiree Talia's mom painted my nails. (Talia's sister who is an amazing makeup artist like her little sister Taliajoy18 on YouTube. Although, Mattia Joyce who is also on YouTube has her own sense of style, her own sense of humor and a talent all her own while carrying on the beautiful Legacy of her little sister. ) Helping me get glammed up is something that comes very natural for Mattia and Desiree because they continue a program Talia started called Glam Wars where they go into children's hospitals and give makeovers two little girls going through chemo and face painting to little boys going through chemo to help them feel more confident and happy during their fight. CoverGirl provides all the makeup for the program Since Talia became an honorary Cover Girl on the Ellen show.( To find out more about this program please go to taliaslegacy.org)
Rushing out the door we head to Universal Studios arriving early until we realize how long the customer service line was where we were supposed to pick up the passes to go to the concert. Then I find out Jessie was running late. Before long the show was about to start so meeting Jessie was delayed until after the show. I began to worry maybe we would run out of time or maybe it wouldn't happen that is until, I reminded myself I had asked Talia to send me a sign that she would be with me in spirit. Days earlier I asked her to send me a feather representing one of her Angel feathers. Hours before the concert , Jessie posted on Instagram a picture of a hummingbird made out of paper or Kleenex held in someone's hand but what stood out in the picture was the delicate beautiful feathers that were part of the hummingbird and I knew that was my sign from Talia. I sang my heart out to every song watching Jessie on the big screen because the wheelchair accessible Area was pretty far back. When the song Bang Bang came onI got a text it was the last song to start heading over where we would meet her. So we all rushed over to where we were supposed to meet her before the show. When we got there and there was a young man he said no she's meeting you somewhere else. We followed the path through the back ways of the park and my heart began to pound as I realized how close I was to meeting her something I wanted to do for years. If I was able to get up from my wheelchair and run I would have at that moment. As we approached Jessie was seated halfway in her rental car in the passenger seat and again my brain started thinking oh she's ready to leave she's going to say hi and take off. This was a huge lesson for me because fear allows our mind to create a story that is so different from god's plan. Jessie stepped out of the car walked over to me and knelt down to be at eye level with me in my wheelchair. I started to cry and I explained to her it wasn't because she was famous it wasn't because she was JessieJ, tears were flowing because since my family is in heaven her voice through her music is always there no matter what and to be in front of her for that reason was overwhelming. I gave her a necklace I designed that is a guitar pick that says Jessie your music helps me breathe Friends forever on the front and a music note on the back. I have a matching one that I wear all the time for inspiration and now she would have hers. Then I asked her if I could show her one more thing? Jessie replied of course you can! I apologized because I told her it was 17 minutes long, I wrote a poem using all her song titles from each of her three albums and made a video of it on YouTube. (I wrote it when I was very sick in the hospital in intensive care and the nurse told me I should be resting, it was a waste of time because Jessie would never see it. My dream was for Jessie to see the poem because I have an easier time expressing myself through writing and the poem embodied everything I wanted to say to her. Jessie sat on the ground held my hand and watched the entire thing as the tears just ran down my face as a result of the happiness that was overflowing from my heart and had to come out through my eyes. Then Jessie and I made a video that I will show the nurse tomorrow when I go to the hospital for chemo. Jessie and I had fun saying she did indeed see the poem. I showed Jessie my tattoo and explained why I have tattoos, and that the other person tattooed on my arm is Talia. Jessie said she knew who Talia was and had followed her story. This was the perfect opportunity to introduce her to Desiree and Mattia and explain why I'm so passionate about childhood cancer, since seven children die a day from childhood cancer, 46 children are diagnosed every day with childhood cancer and it is the leading cause of death for children under the age of 15 in the United States. Sadly, childhood cancer still receives the least amount of funding to find a cure getting only 4% the cancer research money to understand how pediatric cancer forms differently and come up with treatment options specific to treating childhood cancer. Gold is the color for childhood cancer and September is childhood cancer awareness month so I gave Jessie a fuck cancer beanie with gold writing as well as shared some other ideas on how to bring awareness to pediatric cancer. I told her some secrets like who I have a crush on, I shared other private thoughts and moments for her to carry in her heart for inspiration. I wanted our time together to be one where I could give back to her, the best of myself through writing, encouragement, laughter. and inspiration. I knew Jesse J was a special person because I can see peoples energy but she goes above and beyond she was severely jetlagged wasn't feeling well and still made time to do a Make-A-Wish meet and greet before the concert and spent over an hour with me after the concert. I jokingly told her I was so relieved she was nice because I wouldn't have to get my tattoo removed.
She took pictures with all of us and even invited me to see her in Miami perform so she could sing bald girls instead of bad girls in this song Bang bang! Jessie's team was trying to arrange to get me onstage with Jess, but as usual the stage was not wheelchair accessible. It needs to become a priority that all stages become accessible because as long as they are not there is an unspoken message silently screaming that people in wheelchairs or with differences do not belong on the stage or a platform to be heard. I completely understand because I've dealt with this my whole life. Maybe now that Jessie's team asked for someone in a wheelchair to be on stage it will start a small ripple that will change this unspoken discrimination. Jessie being the earth angel that she is, kept her word, I just got back from the Miami concert last night and she absolutely did sing bald girls during bang bang as well as, took the time to give me one more hug, reassure me that she has my necklace, Tell me she loved me. And made sure Sandra and I we're all set to get home with the chauffeur her amazing manager Cez arranged when he found out I didn't have a car to get there. Jessie's entire team is amazing Alisha, Jessie's hairstylist waited patiently in the car while Jessie and I hung out. Jessie's manager Cez made sure everything fell into place with perfection and smiled with joy as I met Jessie. They are all kindhearted legends who's shoulders Jessie stands on to spread hope, love, empowerment, fun, and realism with the world. Jessie and her entire team hold a special place in my heart until I see them again and one day I dream of writing a song or working on a creative project with Jessie in person or in spirit however God sees fit. I love you Jessie, Cez and Alisha forever sending you multitudes of gratitude and carry all you in my heart.

This device allows you to collect data which flows through a Waspmote sensor network into a PC or other device with a standard USB port. The Waspmote Gateway will act as a data bridge or access point between the sensor network and the receiving equipment. The receiving equipment will be responsible for storing and using the data received depending on the specific needs of the application.
The receiving equipment can be a PC with Linux, Windows or Mac OS, or any device compatible with standard USB connectivity. The gateway offers a USB A plug connector, so the receiving device must have a USB A receptacle.
Once the gateway has been installed correctly, a new communication serial port connecting directly to the XBee module's UART appears in the receiving equipment. This will allow the XBee to communicate directly with the device, being able to both receive data packets from the sensor network as well as modify and/or consult the XBee's configuration parameters.
Another important function worth pointing out is the possibility of updating or changing the XBee module's firmware.
The Waspmote Gateway ships with the XBee module and antenna as shown. This version includes the XBP09-DPSIT-156 915MHz XBee PRO module with RP-SMA connector.

The Central Connecticut softball team earned two Northeast Conference victories Sunday afternoon against defending NEC Champion LIU Brooklyn (4-27) including a 5-0 shutout. The Blue Devils were efficient at the plate tallying 18 hits including four home runs. CCSU was led by junior Arielle Bruno who launched a three-run homer in game one and a solo homer in game two, tying her for fifth in Central history with 14. CCSU is 4-0 in conference play and 12-9 overall.
"Any time a team can start conference play with four wins is great" Head Coach Jeff Franquet said. "We definitely accomplished our goal this weekend and I am proud of how well our team played both at the plate and on the field."
Sophomore Laura Messina earns both wins for the Blue Devils, pitching a total of 13 innings. She went 4-0 this weekend and her season record improves to 8-5. Messina struck out 12 Blackbird batters, walked two and allowed only one run to cross the plate. With the 5-0 shutout in game two, Messina is tied with the CCSU career shutout record at 10.
Game 1
The Blue Devils were the first to get on the board on a single by freshman Hannah Cooper in the top of the second inning. Junior Tessa Brown, who reached base on a single to second, was replaced on first by senior pinch-runner Sarah Emery. Emery scored on Cooper's hit to put Central up 1-0.
The Blackbirds responded in the bottom of the fourth when a single up the middle drove in the tying run.
In the top of the fifth, freshman Eileen Purcell ripped a single up the middle to reach base. She was replaced on first by freshman Brittany Ernst who made her way around the bases and scored on a two-out shot up the middle by Bruno.
The Blue Devils broke the game open in the sixth inning with a dominating performance at the plate driving in seven runs to put Central on top 9-1.
Freshman Evie Rentzel, who posted six RBI against Wagner yesterday, notched another on a single to center field plating Brown, who had reached on a fielder's choice. Rentzel's hit was followed by a Cooper single to right field. She drove in senior Kelsey Barlow who had reached on a single. Continuing the rally was Purcell who sent a double down the left field line to drive in Rentzel and Cooper, putting CCSU up 6-1.
Senior Stephanie Chotkevys followed up the play earning a walk and with one out and two on base, Bruno ripped her 13th career home run. She sent the three-run bomb over the right-field fence to total four RBI on the day and end the scoring 9-1.
The Blue Devil defense held strong and allowed no runs in the bottom of the sixth to end the game on an eight run rule.
Game 2
After five scoreless innings, the Blue Devils, once again, went on a sixth-inning rally that resulted in four runs for Central to put CCSU on the board first.
Bruno opened the inning with a solo bomb over the center-field fence to put CCSU up 1-0 and was followed by three consecutive hits. Sophomore Kat Malcolm singled, senior Nicole Springer doubled to right center and Brown smacked the fifth home run of her career to bring Malcolm and pinch-runner, Emery, across the plate, 4-0 Central.
In the top of the seventh, freshman Eileen Purcell blasted her first career home run to center field to increase the Blue Devil lead to 5-0.
Central was able to hold the lead throughout the seventh inning and close the first weekend of conference play with a perfect 4-0 record.
The Blue Devils return to action Wednesday, March 27, against the Holy Cross Crusaders at the CCSU Softball Field in New Britain, CT. The doubleheader is set to begin at 3 p.m.

•Blam after Wim
Designed to coincide with the Design Museum's exhibition, 'Wim Crouwel - A Graphic Odyssey'. The brief was to explore reprinting some of Crouwel's early poster work, something we had done before with the poster 'vormgevers'. From the outset, we realised it was too hard a task to narrow it down to just a few posters. We came up with the approach to include a broader selection of Crouwel's expansive design output but made into a single poster. Text by Adrian Shaughnessy.

Drinking the Bottom Shelf: Cheap Light Beer
Will Gordon drinks his way through the bottom shelf of the liquor store...so you don't have to.
I have to drop a quick dozen pounds before Speedo season. When I've needed to lose weight in the past I've stopped drinking beer altogether, but that doesn't seem feasible this time. Bottom Shelf research coordinator Emily and I just moved back to Cambridge, where we are surrounded by thirsty friends and family, and our new apartment has a perfect little drinking balcony that overlooks an honorable old establishment called Paddy's Lunch. The day we went, the lunch special was draft beer; I'm told that on other days, the lunch special is bottled beer.
So it's time for me to finally give in and become a light beer drinker. I tried drinking Miller Lite a couple years ago as a tribute to my father, one of the world's great high-volume drinkers of low-flavor beer, but all that did was give me bad breath and flashbacks to the "M.A.S.H." theme song. Bud Light's okay and probably no worse than regular Budweiser, but you know those weirdos who take their beer bottle into the bar bathroom with them? Nine times out of 10, it's Bud Light. Bad sign. I was tempted to try Coors Light once Ice Cube started pushing it on TV, but then I remembered that for some reason good lockstep liberals aren't supposed to drink it, which means I wouldn't be able to find it in Cambridge even if I wanted to.
When I realized the three leading lights of American macro-brewing all have strikes against them, I turned, as always, to the lower end of the spectrum. If I'm going to sacrifice taste for calories, I might as well save a couple bucks a case along the way.
It seems like the three most widely distributed subprime light beers are Keystone Light, Busch Light, and Natural Light, so I picked up a can of each, along with a Narragansett Light. Narragansett is a classic old-timey New England beer that's trying to resurrect itself, and anecdotal evidence suggests it's making some hay. I see it at a lot of bars now, and both the regular lager and the porter are very good for their weight class. I headed into this tasting pretty certain the light was going to far exceed Keystone, Busch, and Natty. In fact, I almost didn't want to include it because I know the endorsement wouldn't be of any use to most of you. Turns out the beer isn't of any use to anyone, so let's just deal with the other three for now.
Natural Light
This is brewed by Anheuser-Busch, and A-B at least has clean tanks and efficient distribution, so I was daydreaming about a best-case scenario in which Natty tastes exactly like Bud Light but is just marketed differently. Nope, it's pretty rough stuff. It was the blandest of the three, which is usually a good quality on the bottom shelf, but the only detectable flavor other than Pale Yellow Beer was a distinct sourness. The can I sampled was well within its "best by" window, so we can safely assume that rather than having gone bad, this beer was simply born bad.
Busch Light
Well, my Uncle Pete drinks Busch, and he's a good dude who had the good sense to marry my Aunt Mary. And the commercials were cool when I was a kid. "Head for the mountains." Sure, why not? I mean, I don't like mountains and I'm not sure what elevation could have to do with beer quality, but the slogan's decent and the logo is borderline regal.
Alas, this was even worse than the Natural Light. It was just as sour as the Natural Light, but with the extra defect of being stale, too. It smells like a warped-wood barroom floor on Sunday morning.
Keystone Light
Well, I'll be damned. I was positive this would be the worst of the bunch, but it actually turned out to be my least unfavorite.
I remembered regular Keystone as being the worst beer of my life, with a pronounced rotting-fruit character that set it apart from other bad brews. I'm not sure if my memory's mistaken or if the Light is vastly superior to the regular, but this stuff is better than Busch Light, Natural Light, and even the local ringer, Narragansett Light. It was marred by the same sourness as the others, but to a lesser degree, and it's not inconceivable that a more generous taster could describe it as pleasantly lemony.
The Bottom Shelf Bottom Line
All in all, bad news. After a streak of good luck here on the Bottom Shelf, I have to report that none of these beers are worth buying just to save a dollar or two a sixer.

I wanted to send over a hearty THANK YOU to everyone involved in making Pine to Palm a success. This was my first 100 mile race and I was so impressed with the quality of the aid stations, course markings, and above all the folks out on the course running the stations and directing runners. Overall this was one of the best race experience I have ever had. I continue to enjoy running in Southern Oregon and look forward to more events put on by Rogue Valley Runners. Compliments to you, your staff, and all the volunteers. You nailed it! Premiere event in my book.
Special thanks to the folks working the aid station at mile 90 on Sunday AM. They were chipper and encouraging…
All the best, Stephen
Finally! I made amends with my 2010 DynaBuckle order and have now sent the remainder of the brass ovals to finishers that may or may not make it onto a belt. One thing is clear however, for those 45 folks that brought home either substance they did it the old fashioned way, they EARRNED it.
The 2011 edition of the The Pine to Palm 100 Mile Endurance Run was marked with consistency and the word for the opposite of consistency. The most welcome change had to be the weather, for how could it not be, it was the most talked about element of our race last year. There was a return to normalcy on race day as nary a cloud could be found and temps topped out in the low 70's. It was chilly at night and on the peaks but that just made runners move faster over the ground and through the aid stations.
As it pertained to logistics we continued the theme by removing a few miles of pavement at the start of the race and we relocated our pre-race meeting to the Provolt Community Center while adding camping along the East Fork of Williams Creek. All editions that will stand for years to come.
|Derek Schultz cruises the early miles, he stopped running for 18 miles but finished 3rd in the end.
Runners came far and wide to test themselves in the lesser know mountains of Southern Oregon. They weren't threatened when their race director didn't make back to the pre-race meeting (he was out marking the first 10 miles of the course and if you've run the first 10 miles then that's that) and didn't miss beat when his wife fielded questions that either quelled or quickened peoples fears.
|Ashlander's taunting the Palm at mile 21.
|Not quite sure what happened to Craig, much the same could be said of him in the 70's too.
One point I harp on with all our events is my unending gratitude towards our volunteers. Some come out because they need service hours, many just to be in the woods, most to partake in the spectacle, and others because I make them. That said, our aid stations are captained by no less than 8 current or former race directors. The remainder easily match in service and professionalism although you might not know it by looking at most of these pictures.
I made a point to a friend the week before the race when I wore a rather scandalous Nicky Minaje shirt to a party and mentioned that I was thinking of wearing it at P2P.
|OK so my Mom didn't like it much either.
|Along the Stein Butte trail
|and along.
|Squaw Lakes
|Pristine single - track.
|Hanley Gap AS, positive vibrations.
So I revel in the race that begins to develop. Defending Champion Timothy Olson, whom had developed an ultra running highlight reel in 2011, was gunning for the word go. Fellow Oregonian, Yassine Diboun, was a pre race favorite and set the early pace with Timothy over Greyback where a chase ensued down the expansive draws to Applegate Lake. TAO's intensive training and knowledge of the course really shined over the next hours as he distanced himself from the rest of the field. Chris Downie from BC Canada would close the gap to nearly 20 minutes at the half way point but that was when Tim finally found his grove and began to chip away at the course record.
On the ladies side, first time 100 miler Liz Koop looked strong all day. She ran a very even paced run, over routes that were unfamiliar, but with the keen sense of a veteran. The miles and the elevation took a toll in the end but persevering is what champions do best. All the champions can be found here, and hopefully back in Ashland for 2012!
|Leaving Hanley Gap with Squaw Peak in the background.
|Dutchman Peak (mile62)
|Tim finds a way not to waste the daylight.
|Jeff Kozak takes in the views along Siskiyou Crest, and looks to be moving rather well still.
|Mount Shasta from Jackson Gap.
|This is the 2060 (mile90) AS, ripe with attentive volunteers; Carly Koerner, JB Benna and Jen Benna (l to r.)
|I don't know why one would need to take off the FF after 100 miles, they're just an extension of the foot.
|Lovely Pioneer Hall, perhaps the last time we stage out of here. Help us grow!
|Your 2011 champions; Liz Koop and Timothy Olson
See you in 2012!

I have been studying the spontaneous symmetry braking from Zee (Quantum Field theory ) and found in the page 224, he wrote the lagrangian as
$$\mathcal{L}= \frac{1}{2}\{ λ (∂φ)^2 + μ^2φ^ 2\} − \frac{\lambda}{4}(φ^4)$$
But according to sclar field theory I got from Ryder $$\mathcal{L}=\frac{1}{2}\{ λ (∂φ)^2 + μ^2φ^ 2\} − \frac{\lambda}{4!}(φ^4)$$ Am I doing wrong?
My another question is, the potential we have inserted in the Lagrangian is look like Mexican hat. What conditions will change the shape of the potential? Symmetry breaking means ,changing the Lagrangian with kinetic energy terms?

Go ahead and feed your photography obsession with the PENTAX K-5. For you, capturing that great shot isn't a casual interest. It's a part of your life. One spectacular image after another. This camera is the perfect piece of equipment to help you get your photo fix. With the compact, rugged K-5, the world is truly your studio.
Encased in a compact but solid, functional body, Pentax K-5 digital SLR comes equipped with a host of advanced photographic tools for the easy creation of great pictures, while delivering high standards of image quality, data processing speed and operability.
Developed using the highly acclaimed Pentax K-7 as its base, the K-5 inherits the exceptional reliability, user-friendly operation, array of advanced features and compact, lightweight body of its predecessor.
However, it is more resourceful and flexible in photographic expression. Combining a new high-speed, low-noise CMOS image sensor with the high-performance PRIME II imaging engine, it produces super-high-resolution, rich-gradation digital images with approximately 16.28 effective megapixels, even when shooting in the continuous shooting mode at a maximum speed of approximately seven images per second.
It also offers an extra-wide sensitivity range between ISO 80 and ISO 51200 (when expanded via a custom function) and full HD-proportion movie recording at 1920 x 1080 pixels to expand the boundaries of high-quality visual presentation.
Adding other improvements and refinements--such as a faster autofocusing speed, an upgraded HDR (High Dynamic Range) function now usable in handheld shooting, and better operability through an overall review of the design and shape of all components — the K-5 is designed to be more functional and maneuverable in every detail, and in its response to the demands of the photographer.
Pentax K-5 Digital SLR Highlights
High-resolution, low-noise, true-to-life image reproduction
The K-5 incorporates a newly designed CMOS image sensor with a wide image-sensitive area measuring 23.7mm by 15.7mm. It assures high-speed image data readout much faster than that of previous sensors. By coupling this image sensor--equivalent in performance and data processing speed to the image sensor incorporated in the Pentax 645D medium-format digital camera--with the reliable PRIME (Pentax Real Image Engine) II imaging engine, the K-5 produces super-high-resolution, rich-gradation digital images with 16.28 effective megapixels, while suppressing annoying digital noise to a minimum.
High-speed continuous shooting at approximately seven images per second
The K-5's high-speed continuous shooting mode records as many as 22 images in a single sequence at a maximum speed of seven images per second.
Responsive, high-precision AF system
The K-5 features a new-generation, wide-frame SAFOX IX+ autofocus system with 11 sensor points (with nine cross-type sensors positioned in the middle). This sophisticated AF system has completely redesigned optics, and factors the light source at the time of shooting into its calculations to improve the accuracy of autofocus operation. It also offers a choice of shutter-release options--between focus priority and release priority in the AF.S (single) advance mode, or between focus priority and speed priority in the AF.C (continuous) advance mode. The K-5 is also equipped with a spotbeam projector to assist the AF system in poorly lit locations.
Compact, solid, functional camera body
Despite its compact dimensions, the K-5 is built to be exceptionally solid and durable, with a body of sturdy yet lightweight magnesium alloy, and a chassis of high-rigid stainless steel. Thanks to the inclusion of 77 special seals in the body, it also boasts a dustproof, weather-resistant and cold-resistant construction, assuring reliable operation even under harsh environment and at temperatures as low as -10°C. It also features a reliable shutter unit that provides a top shutter speed of 1/8000 second and tested to 100,000 shutter releases.
Bright, clear optical viewfinder with 100% field of view
The K-5 features a pentaprism finder with a nearly 100% field of view and at 0.92-times magnification (with a 50mm F1.4 lens at infinity) to provide a better view of the image field and improve the accuracy and speed of focusing and image composition. It also comes with the renowned Natural-Bright-Matte focusing screen to assist the photographer with manual-focus operation.
Effortless Live View shooting Thanks to a new image sensor and a more sophisticated algorithm, the K-5's Contrast AF mode assures better performance and greater focusing speed than before during Live View shooting. With the addition of a Golden Section display, the K-5 offers a choice of three different grid patterns to facilitate image composition.
Pentax-original SR mechanism with user-assisting options
The K-5 features the Pentax-developed SR (Shake Reduction) mechanism, which effectively compensates the adverse effect of camera shake by 2.5 to 4 shutter steps, to produce sharp, blur-free images.
Recording of Full HD-proportion movies (1920 x 1080 pixels, 25 frames per second)
The K-5 captures beautiful, true-to-life movie clips in 16:9 full HD proportions (1920 x 1080 pixels) at a frame rate of 25 frames per second. The K-5 also provides greater possibilities in visual presentation in movies, especially through the application of custom images and digital filters.
Innovative image-processing functions to produce distinctive photographic expressions
Custom image function for distinctive finishing touches: letting users easily select the desired finishing touch for a particular image.
Versatile digital filter function: The K-5's digital filter function allows the user to process recorded images in a variety of creative ways and produce highly individualized visual expressions without requiring a computer.
Cross process mode with three options: The K-5 features the unique cross process mode, in which the camera automatically shifts photographic parameters for each exposure to create eye-catching images with unique, dramatic colours.
HDR (High Dynamic Range) function: The K-5 features the HDR (high dynamic range) function to create one composite image with an extra-wide gradation range from three images with different exposures, without requiring a computer.
Additional Features
Electronic level function, with a newly added tilt confirmation tool
Extended-exposure NR (Noise Reduction) function, with a choice of Auto, On and Off modes
High-sensitivity NR (Noise Reduction) function, with a camera-dependent Auto mode and a user-adjustable reduction level control for different sensitivity settings

Google Nexus 7 3G and Nexus 10 to arrive next week
- 23 October, 2012 13:59
Google's upcoming Android event will include the unveiling of new Nexus 7 models and a Nexus 10 tablet.
Next week's Android event will include a raft of new tablets as well as Nexus smartphones, according to The Next Web. The firm will aim to steer attention away from Apple's iPad Mini and Microsoft's Surface with new tablets of its own.
We've known about the 32GB model of the Nexus 7 tablet after Argos kindly put it in its Christmas gift guide. And now it will supposedly be joined by a model with 3G connectivity in the UK and US.
Google will also announce its Nexus 10 tablet (codename 'Manta'), a device from Samsung which has been rumoured for a while. It will offer a staggering 2560 1600 pixel (16:10) resolution to take on the iPad and Surface.
Alongside the new tablets will be one or more Nexus smartphones to replace the Galaxy Nexus. Rumoured devices include the LG Optimus G Nexus, or Nexus 4 and the Sony Nexus X.
All these devices will come with a new version of Google's Android operating system - most likely 4.2 Jelly Bean than 5.0 Key Lime Pie. The latest edition will include multiple user accounts, redesigned Gmail app, redesigned gallery and camera UI plus hardware controls and improved cards for Google Now, according to Android Police.

Marie T. Filbin, distinguished professor at Hunter College and a member of the doctoral faculty in biochemistry and biology, died on January 15, 2014, in Ireland, after a long illness. She was an internationally renowned neuroscientist, whose groundbreaking work describes the chemical environment of an injured nervous system and the factors that influence the regrowth of axons from the injury site. This work has been crucial to understanding paralysis and developing drugs that may someday be used to reverse spinal cord injury. In 2001 she was corecipient of the Ameritec Prize for paralysis research.
Filbin received her Ph.D. from the University of Bath, England. She held postdoctoral fellowships at the University of Maryland and Johns Hopkins University before coming to Hunter College in 1990. She was named to the doctoral faculty in 1991. She will be remembered as a fierce advocate for her students as well as a superb scientist, one who frequently went beyond the role of mentor to improve students' lives.

In recent months, Microsoft has made a couple of moves to make its Microsoft Security Essentials antivirus software more widely used. First, the company relaxed licensing restrictions, making it permissible to use MSE in businesses with ten or fewer PCs; prior to this change, the software was only licensed for home users. Now, the company has started to distribute the software through its Microsoft Update distribution system.
Last month Ars asked antivirus vendors their thoughts about the expansion of MSE into small businesses. Their responses could best be summed up as "it's good that Microsoft is raising awareness of computer security, but our software is still much better."
The broader distribution of MSE to consumers might not be as welcome. When Ed Bott at ZDNet asked Symantec and McAfee their thoughts, their stance was much the same as it is was before: "Microsoft's software offers only basic protection; ours is so much better, people really should use it." Infoworld is reporting that Trend Micro might not be so conciliatory.
Speaking to Infoworld, Carol Carpenter, the general manager of the consumer and small business group at Trend Micro said, "Commercializing Windows Update to distribute other software applications raises significant questions about unfair competition." She continued, "Windows Update is a de facto extension of Windows, so to begin delivering software tied to updates has us concerned. Windows Update is not a choice for users, and we believe it should not be used this way."
Trend Micro's response shows a poor understanding of the action Microsoft has taken. MSE is being offered not through Windows Update, but through the related Microsoft Update service. Microsoft Update, which updates a broad range of Microsoft products and occasionally offers new ones, requires a deliberate opt-in: it isn't enabled by default. Moreover, MSE will only be offered to customers who do not have an existing antivirus product installed—and in any case is offered as an optional download.
Though an antirust suit over an optional download that is only offered after enabling an optional feature seems unlikely, that competitors would even raise such concerns shows Microsoft's uniquely peculiar position in the industry. The third-party software vendors are more than happy to insist that Windows needs antivirus software and that using a Windows machine without such software is dangerous—but if Microsoft agrees with their assessment and tries to improve the situation itself, they threaten to cry foul.
