Doyle Sir Arthur Conan eBooks
Sir Arthur Ignatius Conan Doyle DL (22 May 1859 – 7 July 1930) was a Scottish physician and writer, most noted for his stories about the detective Sherlock Holmes, which are generally considered a major innovation in the field of crime fiction, and for the adventures of Professor Challenger. He was a prolific writer whose other works include science fiction stories, historical novels, plays and romances, poetry, and non-fiction. Arthur Conan Doyle was born the third of ten siblings on 22 May 1859 in Edinburgh, Scotland. His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, who was born in England of Irish descent, and his mother, born Mary Foley, who was Irish, had married in 1855. Doyle's father died in 1893, in the Crichton Royal, Dumfries, after many years of psychiatric illness. Although he is now referred to as "Conan Doyle", the origin of this compound surname (if that is how he meant it to be understood) is uncertain. The entry in which his baptism is recorded in the register of St Mary's Cathedral in Edinburgh gives "Arthur Ignatius Conan" as his Christian name, and simply "Doyle" as his surname. It also names Michael Conan as his godfather. Conan Doyle was sent to the Roman Catholic Jesuit preparatory school Hodder Place, Stonyhurst, at the age of nine. He then went on to Stonyhurst College until 1875.

Jerry Buss had been a chemist and a mathematician long before he bought the Los Angeles Lakers in 1979. The self-made millionaire with a head for business and an impresario's heart assailed the NBA with every skill he acquired along the way.
With his personal alchemy and charisma, he blended two generations of marquee basketball stars and big-name coaches into 10 championship teams. His financial wizardry allowed him to pay top dollar to get the best players and keep them together without a huge personal fortune.
Buss built a glittering life for himself and the Lakers, playing a huge role in the NBA's move from a second-tier pro sport into can't-miss Hollywood entertainment while polishing his oddly nicknamed franchise into a glamorous global brand.
Magic, Kareem and Big Game James. Kobe, Shaq and Pau.
They were the stars, but Buss created Showtime.
The applause still hasn't died down.
Buss, who shepherded the Lakers from their 1980s dynasty through the current Kobe Bryant era while becoming one of the most important and successful owners in pro sports, died Monday. He was 80.
"Jerry Buss was more than just an owner. He was one of the great innovators that any sport has ever encountered," said Pat Riley, who coached four of Buss' 10 title teams. "He was a true visionary, and it was obvious with the Lakers in the `80s that `Showtime' was more than just Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It was really the vision of a man who saw something that connected with a community."
Under Buss' leadership, the star-studded, trophy-winning Lakers became Southern California's most beloved sports franchise and a signature cultural representation of Los Angeles. Buss acquired, nurtured and befriended a staggering array of talented players and hoops minds during his Hall of Fame tenure, from Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar and James Worthy to Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal, Pau Gasol and Dwight Howard.
"Think about the impact that he's had on the game and the decisions he's made, and the brand of basketball he brought here with Showtime and the impact that had on the sport as a whole," Bryant said a few days ago. "Those vibrations were felt to a kid all the way in Italy who was 6 years old, before basketball was even global. His impact is felt worldwide."
Few owners in sports history can approach Buss' accomplishments with the Lakers, who made the NBA Finals 16 times during his nearly 34 years in charge, winning 10 titles between 1980 and 2010. Whatever the Lakers did under Buss' watch, they did it big – with the big-name players Hollywood demanded, an eye-popping style of play and a relentless pursuit of success with little regard to its financial cost.
"His incredible commitment and desire to build a championship-caliber team that could sustain success over a long period of time has been unmatched," said Jerry West, Buss' longtime general manager and now a consultant with the Golden State Warriors. "With all of his achievements, Jerry was without a doubt one of the most humble men I've ever been around. His vision was second to none; he wanted an NBA franchise brand that represented the very best and went to every extreme to accomplish his goals."
Buss died at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, said Bob Steiner, his assistant and longtime friend. Buss had been hospitalized for most of the past 18 months while undergoing cancer treatment, but the cause of death was kidney failure, Steiner said.
"When someone as celebrated and charismatic as Jerry Buss dies, we are reminded of two things," said Abdul-Jabbar, the leading scorer in NBA history. "First, just how much one person with vision and strength of will can accomplish. Second, how fragile each of us is, regardless of how powerful we were. Those two things combine to inspire us to reach for the stars, but also to remain with our feet firmly on the ground among our loved ones. … The man may be gone, but he has made us all better people for knowing him."
With his condition worsening in recent months, several prominent former Lakers visited Buss to say goodbye. Even rivals such as Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and Clippers owner Donald Sterling hailed the passion and bonhomie of the poor kid from Wyoming who lived his own Hollywood dream.
"Dr. Buss was a visionary and an incredible business man with a serious passion for numbers," Johnson tweeted. "I will always remember Dr. Buss' big smile, his love for the (at) Lakers, for poker & billiards, for the City of LA and for beautiful women."
Buss always referred to the Lakers as his extended family, and his players rewarded his fanlike excitement with devotion, friendship and two hands full of championship rings. Working with front-office executives West, Bill Sharman and Mitch Kupchak, Buss spent lavishly to win his titles, often running the NBA's highest payroll while also paying high-profile coaches Riley and Phil Jackson.
Ownership of the Lakers is now in a trust controlled by Buss' six children, who all have worked for the Lakers in various capacities for several years. With 1,786 victories, the Lakers easily are the NBA's winningest franchise since he bought the club, which is now run largely by Jim Buss and Jeanie Buss.
"We not only have lost our cherished father, but a beloved man of our community and a person respected by the world basketball community," the Buss family said in a statement issued by the Lakers.
"It was our father's often-stated desire and expectation that the Lakers remain in the Buss family. The Lakers have been our lives as well, and we will honor his wish and do everything in our power to continue his unparalleled legacy."
Johnson and fellow Hall of Famers Abdul-Jabbar and Worthy formed lifelong bonds with Buss during the Lakers' run to five titles in nine years in the 1980s, when the Lakers earned a reputation as basketball's most exciting team.
The buzz extended throughout the Forum, where Buss turned the Lakers' games into a must-see event. He used the Laker Girls, a brass band and promotions to keep Lakers fans interested during all four quarters. Courtside seats, priced at $15 when he bought the Lakers, became the hottest tickets in Hollywood – and they still are, with fixture Jack Nicholson and many other celebrities attending every home game.
"Anybody associated with the NBA since 1980 benefited greatly from Jerry Buss' impact on the game," Steiner said. "He had a different way of looking at things than I did, and people who had been raised in basketball."
Buss paid the Lakers' bills through both their wild success and his groundbreaking moves to raise revenue. He co-founded a basic-cable sports television network and sold the naming rights to the Forum at times when both now-standard strategies were unusual, further justifying his induction to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2010.
Just last year, the Lakers debuted on two new cable sports networks in a groundbreaking deal with Time Warner worth a reported $5 billion.
"The NBA has lost a visionary owner whose influence on our league is incalculable and will be felt for decades to come," NBA Commissioner David Stern said. "More importantly, we have lost a dear and valued friend."
Showtime couldn't last forever, but after a rough stretch in the 1990s, Buss rekindled the Lakers' mystique by paying top dollar to hire Jackson, who led O'Neal and Bryant to a three-peat from 2000-02. Bryant and Gasol won two more titles under Jackson in 2009 and 2010.
The current Lakers (25-29) have struggled mightily despite adding Howard and Steve Nash in a couple of moves that were typical of Buss' brash style. Los Angeles could miss the playoffs this spring for just the third time since Buss bought the franchise.
"Today is a very sad day for all the Lakers and basketball," Gasol tweeted. "All my support and condolences to the Buss family. Rest in peace Dr. Buss."
Although Buss gained fame and another fortune with the Lakers, he also was a scholar, Renaissance man and bon vivant who epitomized California cool his entire public life.
Buss rarely appeared in public without at least one attractive, much younger woman on his arm – at Southern California football games, high-stakes poker tournaments, hundreds of boxing matches promoted by Buss at the Forum – and, of course, Lakers games from his private box at Staples Center, which was built under his watch. With his failing health, Buss hadn't attended a Lakers game in the past two seasons.
After a rough-and-tumble childhood that included stints as a ditch-digger and a bellhop in the frigid Wyoming winters, Buss earned a Ph.D. in chemistry from USC at 24, and had careers in aerospace and real estate development before getting into sports.
With money from his real-estate ventures and a good bit of creative accounting, Buss bought the then-struggling Lakers, the NHL's Los Angeles Kings and both clubs' arena – the Forum – from Jack Kent Cooke in a $67.5 million deal that was the largest sports transaction in history at the time.
Last month, Forbes estimated the Lakers were worth $1 billion, second most in the NBA.
Buss also helped change televised sports by co-founding the Prime Ticket network in 1985, and he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2006 for his work in television. Breaking the contemporary model of subscription services for televised sports, Buss' Prime Ticket put beloved broadcaster Chick Hearn and the Lakers' home games on basic cable.
Buss also sold the naming rights to the Forum in 1988 to Great Western Savings & Loan – another deal that was ahead of its time.
Born in Salt Lake City, Gerald Hatten Buss was raised in poverty before improving his life through education. He also grew to love basketball, describing himself as an "overly competitive but underly endowed player."
After graduating from the University of Wyoming, Buss attended USC for graduate school because he loved its sports teams. He also became a chemistry professor and worked in the missile division of defense contractor McDonnell Douglas before carving out a path to wealth and sports prominence.
His real-estate portfolio grew out of a $1,000 investment in a West Los Angeles apartment building with partner Frank Mariani, an aerospace engineer and co-worker.
Heavily leveraging his fortune and various real-estate holdings during two years of negotiations, Buss purchased Cooke's entire Los Angeles sports empire along with a 13,000-acre ranch in Kern County. Buss immediately worked to transform the Lakers – who had won just one NBA title since moving west from Minneapolis in 1960 – into a star-powered endeavor befitting Hollywood.
"One of the first things I tried to do when I bought the team was to make it an identification for this city, like Motown in Detroit," he told the Los Angeles Times in 2008. "I try to keep that identification alive. I'm a real Angeleno. I want us to be part of the community."
With showmanship, fearless spending and a little drafting luck, Buss quickly succeeded: Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar and coach Paul Westhead led the Lakers to the 1980 title. Johnson's ball-handling wizardry and Abdul-Jabbar's smooth inside game made for an attractive style of play, and the Lakers came to define West Coast sophistication.
Riley, the former broadcaster who fit the L.A. image perfectly with his slick-backed hair and good looks, became one of the best coaches in NBA history after Buss promoted him, leading the Lakers to four straight NBA finals and four titles.
"I was privileged to be part of that for 10 years and even more grateful for the friendship that has lasted all these many years," said Riley, now the president of the Miami Heat. "I have always come to realize that if it weren't for Dr. Buss, I wouldn't be where I am today."
Overall, the Lakers made the Finals nine times in Buss' first 12 seasons while rekindling the NBA's best rivalry with the Boston Celtics, and Buss basked in the worldwide celebrity he received from his team's achievements. His partying became the stuff of Los Angeles legends, with even his players struggling to keep up with Buss' lifestyle.
Johnson's HIV diagnosis and retirement in 1991 staggered Buss and the Lakers, the owner recalled in 2011. The Lakers went through seven coaches and made just one conference finals appearance in an eight-year stretch of the 1990s despite the 1996 arrivals of O'Neal, who signed with Los Angeles as a free agent, and Bryant, the 17-year-old high schooler acquired in a draft-week trade.
Shaq and Kobe didn't reach their potential until Buss persuaded Jackson, the Chicago Bulls' six-time NBA champion coach, to take over the Lakers in 1999. Los Angeles immediately won the next three NBA titles in brand-new Staples Center, AEG's state-of-the-art downtown arena built with the Lakers as the primary tenant.
After the Lakers traded O'Neal in 2004, they hovered in mediocrity again until acquiring Gasol in a heist of a trade with Memphis in early 2008. Los Angeles made the next three NBA Finals, winning two more titles.
Buss owned the NHL's Kings from 1979-87, and the WNBA's Los Angeles Sparks won two league titles under Buss' ownership.
Buss' children have pledged to continue his commitment to the Lakers' distinctive success, although their efforts haven't been rewarded in the past three years while Jerry Buss ceded many decision-making responsibilities to Jim Buss, the Lakers' executive vice president of player personnel and the second-oldest child. While daughter Jeanie runs the franchise's business side, Jim Buss now has the final say on basketball decisions.
"I am blessed with a wonderful family who have helped me and guided me every step of the way," Buss said in 2010 at his Hall of Fame induction ceremony. "This support is the best anybody could ever have."
Buss is survived by his six children: sons Johnny, Jim, Joey and Jesse, and daughters Jeanie Buss and Janie Drexel. He had eight grandchildren.
Arrangements are pending for a funeral and memorial service, likely at Staples Center or a nearby theater in downtown Los Angeles.

James Franco stopped by David Letterman's talk show last night to do what his "Spring Breakers" director can't: promote the movie.
It turns out that years ago, Harmony Korine was banned from "The Late Show" for messing with a very famous Oscar winner.
So what exactly went down?
U.S. & World
James Franco talks Anne Hathaway haters
"The legend is that he pushed Meryl Streep backstage," Franco said to Letterman of Korine's ban. "I mean, if you push Meryl Streep backstage, you get kicked off."
"Not necessarily," Letterman joked.
"We checked it," the 34-year-old actor said. "In the books, she was there that night. They were both there."
"Is that what he told you happened?" Letterman asked.
"He did tell me that," continued Franco. "But he said he was a little out of it so maybe he doesn't remember...I think he had a period where he was going a little off the rails. So maybe he was on something that night. My guess is he was on something that night."
Letterman then dished on the real reason he banned Korine from his show. "I went up to greet Meryl Streep," he said, adding, "She was not in there. And I looked around and found your friend Harmony going through her purse. True story. True story. And so I said, 'OK, put her things back in her bag and then you get out of here.'" (The host later added he would be "more than happy" to have Korine back on the show.)
And there you have it: Don't mess with Meryl!

2010 RA Kicks Off With Van Roekel Call to Action
Photo by Calvin Knight for RA Today
Copyright Copyright © 2010 NEA
Nearly 8,500 delegates begin to set policy, honor activists & chart future of education
July 3, 2010
By Tim Walker
After weeks of build-up that included an enormous legislative success in Congress, NEA members were ready Saturday to keep turning "Hope Into Action" for the 89th Representative Assembly. With an exuberant kickoff the nearly 8,500 delegates in attendance began what will be four days of setting policy for the organization, honoring education activists from across the country and around the globe, and preparing to shape the conversation about how to best improve schools in the years to come.
After welcoming remarks from New Orleans Mayor Mitch Landrieu, NEA President Dennis Van Roekel launched the RA with his rousing keynote address, urging the cheering delegates to "speak up, take action, and fight for the students of America! We simply cannot sit it out … there is too much at stake."
Delegates answered that call with early votes that position the Association for action on ESEA reauthorization, immigration reform, and academic integrity in the face of political agendas.
Van Roekel also paid tribute to past NEA leaders in attendance who helped build the association's rock-solid foundation: Louis Edinger, George Fischer, Helen Pate-Bain, John Ryor, Mary Hatwood-Futrell, Keith Geiger, Bob Chase, Reg Weaver, Don Cameron, and John Lucas.
Outside the hall, Secretary-Treasurer Becky Pringle participated in Essence Festival's "State of Education" panel discussion, telling attendees NEA is committed to closing achievement gaps and transforming high-needs schools, but teachers cannot do it alone. Pringle singled out NEA's priority schools campaign as a model of how teachers, parents and community leaders can work together and transform public schools.
The decisive victory for education jobs in the US House of Representatives last week couldn't have been done without NEA members, but President Van Roekel took a little time this afternoon to thank a valuable friend who fights for public education, Congressman David Obey of Wisconsin. Van Roekel publicly thanked Obey, chairman of the House Appropriations Committee, for his critical leadership in securing the passage in the House of Representatives of funding that will save an estimated 138,000 educator jobs. Van Roekel led the delegates in a chant of "Thank you Chairman Obey!" and reminded them the fight isn't over.
"It's now time for the Senate to do the right thing!"
And speaking of Congressional action, Vice-President Lily Eskelsen spotlighted the NEA Fund for Children and Public Education - the voluntary PAC fund that supports public education friendly candidates - a little differently his year. Instead of a video or a speech touting the benefits of the PAC, Eskelsen introduced delegates to five children of RA delegates or "RA Babies."
"They belong to all of us," Esekelsen said. "and they remind us – as we're discussing NBIs and budgets and politics – that we are fighting for a world that will be worthy of their dreams."

The New Hampshire Film Office announced this week that the film In Your Eyes, which was written by Joss Whedon, will begin filming in their state next week.
The movie will filmed in various locations, including Claremont, which is on the border of New Hampshire and Vermont.
In Your Eyes is "a metaphysical love story about two seemingly polar opposites who are deeply connected in ways neither could have ever imagined." The movie stars Zoe Kazan, Michael Stahl-David and Mark Feuerstein.
Check out the full press release below and be sure to let us know if you spot them filming at email@example.com!
Independent Film Set To Shoot In State This Month
Principal photography is set to begin next week in New Hampshire on the independent film IN YOUR EYES written by Joss Whedon and to be directed by Brin Hill. Whedon is executive producing through his micro-studio Bellwether Pictures. The film will be produced by his partner in Bellwether, Kai Cole, and Night & Day Pictures' Michael Roiff.
IN YOUR EYES, starring Zoe Kazan, Michael Stahl-David and Mark Feuerstein tells a metaphysical love story about two seemingly polar opposites who are deeply connected in ways neither could have ever imagined.
Filming will take place on both coasts as the story is centered in both wintry New England as well as the New Mexico desert. After an exhaustive search for possible shooting locations, the producers settled on New Hampshire and are extremely excited about the choice.
"Location is very important to me," says Cole. "I think people can tell when you're tricking them with movie magic. We wanted everything to be authentic, from the architecture to the landscape and New Hampshire is perfect for us."
Roiff adds, "As a Massachusetts native I've always wanted to come back East to shoot something. But I never imagined how much fun it could be. Everyone here has been so incredibly helpful and welcoming, I don't know why we ever shoot anywhere besides New Hampshire."
"There are a lot of states that try to lure you with promises of tax incentives and the like," says Roiff. "But the reality is that being film-friendly is about much more than that—and New Hampshire really defines film-friendly."
The initial introduction to the New Hampshire area came when the film's producers made contact with real estate agent Kelly Erwin who helped steer them towards potential locations. She introduced them to Stayci Fast and Jennifer Colvin of New England Home Staging. Roiff remarked, "Kelly, Stayci and Jennifer have been incredible ambassadors. Between them and Matthew Newton, director of the New Hampshire Film & Television Office, we feel right at home 3,000 miles away from Los Angeles."
"It's been all hands on deck here," says Newton. "We're thrilled the producers have chosen the Granite State as their backdrop. We have a number of great New Hampshire people working on the project, and I believe this is a testament to just how ideal a state like New Hampshire can be for independent filmmaking."
In Claremont, where a portion of the film will be shooting, the producers are working with New Hampshire film community stalwarts Nick Koloski and Lee Hentschel to find the unique locations that this film requires—locations that just don't exist anywhere else.
"We could never achieve half of this production value back in Los Angeles," says the film's director Brin Hill. "We owe a tremendous debt of gratitude to everyone in New Hampshire. We're so lucky to be working here."
UPDATE: The movie is set to begin filming in Exeter early next week. Exeter will be the first New Hampshire stop, followed by Manchester, Hooksett, Claremont, Bedford and Windham.

Buenos Aires' excellent bus and metro, known as the Subte, make it easy to get around the city centre. You can purchase a multi-trip ticket for a reasonable price if you will use public transport for a few days. For anything further afield, we recommend hiring a driver, as street taxi scams are common. To get into the city from the airport, you can jump on the local shuttle; it will take between 40 minutes to an hour to get to the central terminal. If taking a taxi, be sure to agree on a fare before getting in the car and avoid unofficial taxis.
What's the weather in Buenos Aires?
If you're visiting Buenos Aires between October and March, you should pack an umbrella, as this is the rainy season. It is hot and humid during this season, with the temperature ranging from 22-30˚C (65-80˚F). It's also the most popular time for tourists, due to the wide array of summer activities happening. If you want to visit when it's a drier, cooler and quieter; travel during June and July, when the hottest day will be a pleasant 15˚C (60˚F).

Trick Tip: Frontside Boardslides
The front board is one of my favorite rail tricks and is my warm up trick on most rails. To me it feels steezier than a back board, but once you get the hang of it, it isn't that tough. Here are the basics.
Frame 1
Head towards the rail so it's on your toe side edge. Try to stay close and parallel as you are coming up to the rail so that you are ollieing up and turning the board into frontboard, instead of just pulling yourself up on to it.
Frame 2
Pop as good of an ollie as you can.
Frame 3
Start to turn backside 90.
Frame 4
Set the board on the rail so your feet are on either side of the rail and you are completely t-ed up. Keep your body weight even. You don't want to lean back because you'll fall on your face. If anything lean a little bit further forward ollieing into it. It will help if you hold the handle in the small of your back to keep you in the front board position.
Frame 5
Lock your position and hold it.
Frame 6
When you see the end of the rail prepare to turn out frontside.
Frame 7
Turn your body frontside, taking the handle back towards your front hip.
Frame 8
Land and ride away flat or on your heels.
This trick will be a good intro into frontboard 90 shuv and frontboard backside 90 out. Have fun!

So we spent the weekend in Las Vegas, enjoying the 120+ degree temperatures. My wife Sandy and I planned the weekend specifically to cover the Event at the Pinup Pointe Art Gallery. We also got to see the Absinth Show at Caesars Palace, and went out of town (way out of town) to a Diner Sandy found, called the `Road Kill Grill', for some delish' BBQ [planning a future article about Absinth for sure].
The Pinup Pointe Gallery is located at 4 East Charlston Bl, in North Las Vegas. It is an old industrial area that is being converted to an "Arts District". Pinup Pointe was opened March 01 of 2013 by Brent Mizel because of his love of the Retro and Pinup Look. It is a small Gallery with an array of artist. Friday Night, June 28, was a special event, entitled the Pinup Rendezvous, including burlesque performers and a fashion show. Fashion show was presented by designer Mina Kahn in support of the Mina Kahn Charity, and themed around Pinup looks of various styles. In addition to the photos here, you can see more at the Greg Autry Art & Photo Facebook Page, as well as the Pinup Pointe Facebook Page. I congratulate all who performed , and all who attended, as the evening was spent at 110 degrees, with little or no AC. Sandy and I had a great time and the fashion show, albeit brief, was a great success. A special thanks to Sandra Autry, for her assistance, and making sure I got all the names of artist and performers, and that they were spelled properly.
I'm always interested in Art and I was happy to find an array of quality art. I make a distinction between commercial art, and fine art. Commercial being defined [by me] as prints, posters, reproductions (including limited editions), and generally priced to sell to a market less engaged in "art", and more interested in a `picture' that `goes with the furniture'. Fine Art, I generally consider, one-of-a-kind originals. The discussion about what is fine art we'll not debate herein. With that said, I found a representative sample of both genres. Albeit, on the lower end of the price spectrum in reference to Original Fine Art pieces. This is a wonderful gallery for those just starting to build a collection and who want Pinup and related themes. The current show is ongoing with changes made as pieces sell.
One of both Sandy and my favorites is a series titled "Sinister Shadows - The Dastardly Dames of the 1940's ". These were a series of limited edition, black & white photo prints. Each portraying a new and evil way in which the "Dame" has murdered a man who `done-her wrong' ! This great series was done my Michael Malak, a photographer from Newport Beach, California, USA.
Other pieces of note were a mixed-media painting titled "Sheba" by Heather Hermann, who was also one of the Burlesque performers during the evening. As Heather's dance moves are free and fluid her art also demonstrates a fluidity rendered with the hand of a true draughtsman who sees beauty and knows how to translate it to paper.
Of particular note, I found originals by two of my favorite artists. I found a portrait of Rhonda Ridley, a pencil sketch by Olivia de Berardinis, from Malibu, CA, USA. Olivia is a Master Artist who started in New York doing serious Erotica. She's become "famous" now for her Pinup work, and has been immortalized by appearing in Hugh Hefner's Playboy Magazine. I was fortunate to have met Olivia in New York in the early years, and do myself own one of her most erotic original paintings, aptly titled "Ben Wa Balls". Another delightful find was that of `The Burlesque Dancer' by Fatima Tomaeva, Gabicce, Italy, who does beautiful fashion illustrative watercolors (I'd call mixed media, as there is also pastel and ink). She is an artist I'm familiar with and can attest to the quality, skill, and creativity in her art.
As it is impossible to name all the artist represented at the Gallery, please do take a look at the links provided herein, and go take a look for yourself, when you're in Las Vegas. Of note is an upcoming show, currently in the works, for renowned artist Julian Ritter. Ritter became well know as early as the 1950's selling masterful oil paintings of nudes and Showgirls to the Silver Slipper, and continued his career until 2000, when he passed away. I will look forward to seeing this show of Fine Art.
The Pinup Rendezvous was both Burlesque performers, andFashion Show. I highly applaud all the performers and models. Not to mention the makeup artist, seamstress, and all the folks working at the Gallery the Evening of the Rendezvous Event (June 28). For the day in Las Vegas had seen dangerous temps of 121 degrees. The evening approached and the temperature remained relatively high. By Shows end, a little after 10:00 PM, it was still 110 degrees. This was seriously a lot of people devoted to Pinup, and to the showbiz mantra, "The Show Must Go On" !
Amid raffles which benefited the designer's Charity, some good ole 50's rock, and live music towards the end of the evening there were Burlesque Performers. They were indeed limited in space and yet very adept at putting on a Big Show. The burlesque performers included Lou Lou Roxy,
And Mz Mina Kahn - Designer, was all about putting the "sexy" back into Pinup. The fashion show started late (remember makeup melts in 110 degree weather), but there was sure enough bang for the buck. I think we actually lost a model before the show started due to the heat. But an audience member stepped up and filled the bill.
In the fashion show was KitKat Attack (yellow dress)
Aliea Foshay
Raven Rex Franco and Melody Rogers on hair and makeup for the fashion show
Sarah Vamp and KitKat Attack
A very special Host and Proprietor for the evening was the Pinup Pointe Art Gallery Owner Brent Mizel. I have to give kudos to anyone who can pull off a great show, keep everyone entertained, and get standing applause at the end, when it's all done in sweltering heat to boot. Base on what I saw,

Western's Visual and Performing Arts Center takes shape
Western's Westside campus: School for visual, performing arts to open next fall
DANBURY -- At the end of the 1970s, then-Gov. Ella T. Grasso promised music professor David Smith the state would build a school of performing arts at Western Connecticut State University.
Four governors and three decades later, the School of Visual and Performing Arts Instructional Center is nearing completion on the west side campus of the Danbury university.
It will give Smith, a percussionist, an office across from a new storage area for percussion instruments.
The $97 million state-of-the arts facility for the university's music, art and theater students will have a 350-seat concert hall with flexibility for a range of instructional uses and a 350-seat theater with the technical assets of a Broadway stage.
The 134,000-square-foot facility will house art studios with northern light, 40 private music rehearsal rooms, an art gallery and a recording studio.
The university expects to welcome students there next fall.
"Now the facility is equal to the level of our teachers. We have outstanding faculty here," said Dan Goble, dean of the School of Visual and Performing Arts.
More InformationRaising the curtain
The School of Visual and Performing Arts Instructional Center:
To open in August on the Westside campus of Western Connecticut State University
134,000 square feet
$97 million when furnished
350-seat concert hall
350-seat theater
Lead design architect Nestor Bottino designed the building to give the three disciplines unique identities, yet are connected by a large two-story lobby featuring a second-story bridge leading to the different departments.
"It's a brilliant design," Goble said, and it was aided by two professors from each department who worked with the architect on their space needs.
The school offers its 120 students six degrees: theater design, theater technology, theater arts management, drama studies and performance, and a separate degree in musical theater.
The theater department will have dedicated space for a costume-making shop, a woodworking shop for sets, and studios to learn lighting and other skills necessary to get a job backstage on Broadway.
Besides the 350-seat theater, a 75-seat "black-box theater" can be used in a variety of ways.
The music department, which has 220 students, offers three majors: vocal or instrumental performance, jazz studies, and audio and music production.
The new music department has a rehearsal room, 40 sound-proof practice rooms for musicians, a large, humidity-controlled space to store instruments, classrooms and instrumental rehearsal rooms.
A new addition to the department is a recording studio, where students can learn the operation of sound controls with a view from an adjacent room.
The building is set up so the performances in other parts of the building can be recorded.
The art department, which has majors in graphic design, illustration, photography and studio art, has 140 students, and will have room to grow by another 100.
The new department space has floor-to-ceiling windows, an art gallery, multiple studios and a sculpture studio with equipment for welding and woodworking.
Students enrolled in the master of fine arts program can work in 18 individual studios, photography studios with color and black-and-white dark rooms, as well as a digital production area. Works will be displayed on an outdoor patio.
"The philosophy of the school is that we need to build a foundation for each discipline," Goble said. "There are no shortcuts. The students need firm foundational skills so they can have extraordinary innovation, be creative and keep up with current trends."
School officials want the building to be eligible as a Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design-certified building.
Peter Visentin, Western's director of facilities, planning and engineering, said many aspects of the construction are affected by the LEED goal.
For instance, the construction company installed temporary air conditioning so the dust from construction would not infiltrate the permanent air conditioning system.
Robert Swain, of Amenta Emma Architects in Hartford, is the project's lead architect.
Swain said that bringing so many experts to work on the project made it especially exciting for him. For instance, an acoustical consultant and a theater expert helped with the design along with school staff.
"It helps to showcase Western's strength in the arts," Swain said.
Bottino, from the Holzman Moss Bottino Architecture firm in New York City, began to work on the project in 2003.
"What became clear was that there were two ways of thinking about the project. On one hand, it was to bring the three academic programs together, but at the same time it was to allow each department to retain its own identity," he said.
Bottino said putting the three departments together is not unusual in college designs, but what made this project special was the statement this building could make.
"It's on a large, unbuilt campus, so this would be a defining building on the campus," Bottino said. "It will define the planning and character of the building on the campus for years to come. It's been a most gratifying and exciting project."
When the three departments leave their 100,000 square feet on the midtown campus for the new 134,000-square-foot building, college officials hope to remodel Higgins Hall, Berkshire Hall and White Hall.
Goble said the Ives Concert Hall in White Hall will continue to operate on the midtown campus, but use of the remaining space has not yet been finalized.
Goble credited Western President James Schmotter for recognizing the value of the project when he arrived on campus seven years ago and for helping make sure it happened.
"This school will provide Connecticut students with the chance for a great education in the visual and performing arts without having to spend the money at a conservatory or leaving the state," Goble said.

Turning On A Dime, Conservative Media Recoil At Obama's Remarks About "Unelected" Judges
Conservative media are on the attack after President Obama responded to a question about the Supreme Court's consideration of the Affordable Care Act by pointing out that conservatives criticize "unelected" judges who engage in "judicial activism" to "overturn a duly constituted and passed law." But Obama is right: for years conservatives have railed against "unelected" judges who overturn laws passed by the people's representatives.
Obama: Conservatives Criticize "Unelected" Judges Who Engage In Judicial Activism
Obama Reminds Conservatives That They Often Attack "Unelected" Judges Who "Overturn A Duly Constituted And Passed Law." From President Obama's April 2 press conference:
OBAMA: Ultimately I'm confident that the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress. And I'd just remind conservative commentators that for years what we've heard is, the biggest problem on the bench was judicial activism or a lack of judicial restraint -- that an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted and passed law. Well, this is a good example. And I'm pretty confident that this Court will recognize that and not take that step. [WhiteHouse.gov, 4/2/12]
Conservative Media: Obama's Criticism Of The Court Was "Unnerving"
NY Post's Podhoretz: Obama's Reference To An "Unelected Group Of People" Was "Unnerving." From John Podhoretz's April 2 New York Post column headlined "A Supremely brazen attack" :
Yesterday, Barack Obama made the tautological assertion that "I am confident the bill will be upheld because it should be upheld," which almost seemed to threaten the court if it disagrees with his contention.
Referring to the nine justices unnervingly as an "unelected group of people," he then said he was certain "the Supreme Court will not take what would be an unprecedented, extraordinary step of overturning a law that was passed by a strong majority of a democratically elected Congress." [New York Post, 4/2/12]
Tucker Carlson Responds To "Unelected Group Of People" : "This Is What The Supreme Court Does." From the April 2 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Bret Baier:
BRET BAIER (host): We had some Democrats out there saying he is already running against Congress. And now he may be running against the Supreme Court. I mean, the sentence, "an unelected group of people would somehow overturn a duly constituted passed law."
TUCKER CARLSON: Well, this is what the Supreme Court does. It overturns -- of course, I mean that's part of its charter is to overturn laws that don't comport with the Constitution. And by the way, his claim that this is somehow, you know, a tangible argument, you know, the court shouldn't approach this as abstract argument, abstract arguments are what they take up. [Fox News, Special Report with Bret Baier, 4/2/12]
Fox Nation: "Obama Takes Aim At Supreme Court, Calls Them 'Unelected Group Of People.' " From an April 3 post on Fox Nation:
[Fox Nation, 4/3/12]
But Conservatives Have Repeatedly Criticized "Unelected" Judges Who Rule In Ways They Dislike
Republican Presidential Candidates Have Criticized "Unelected Judges."
- Romney Criticized Judges Who Struck Down California Same-Sex Marriage Ban As "Unelected Judges" Who "Cast Aside The Will Of The People." From the Associated Press:
Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney pounced after a federal appeals court ruled that a voter-approved ban on gay marriage in California violated the Constitution.
"Today, unelected judges cast aside the will of the people of California who voted to protect traditional marriage," he said in a written statement. "I believe marriage is between a man and a woman and, as president, I will protect traditional marriage and appoint judges who interpret the Constitution as it is written and not according to their own politics and prejudices." [Associated Press, 2/7/12]
- Santorum: "Unelected Judges" Should Not Impose Their Views On Gay Marriage, "The Great Moral Issues Of Our Time," On Others. From the October 29, 2006, edition of Fox Broadcasting Co.'s Fox News Sunday:
SANTORUM: Yes, my opponent and I are very different on this issue. He said he would fight against any state or federal constitutional amendment that would secure the right of the people to define what marriage is. He would allow the courts to impose a redefinition of marriage.
I don't believe in that. I believe on the great moral issues of our time, the people have a right to speak and say what their collective morality is, the kind of country that they want to live in, and a few unelected, in some cases, or even elected, judges should not impose that. He would go along with the unelected judges. He supports civil unions. He supports, in a sense, gay marriage without the word marriage. [Fox Broadcasting Co., Fox News Sunday, 10/29/06, via Nexis]
Other Republican Officials Have Criticized "Unelected Judges."
- Sen. Cornyn: "Unelected Judges ... Have Occasionally Used This Power Conferred Upon Them In The Constitution To Impose Their Own Views." From a 2009 Senate floor speech by Senate Judiciary Committee member John Cornyn (R-TX) on the nomination of Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor:
CORNYN: Supreme Court Justices have always had tremendous power within our constitutional system of separated and enumerated powers. In recent decades, growing concern has arisen over judicial activism on the Court, which has the necessary consequence of taking power away from the elected representatives, and thus the people themselves, and conferring it to those with life tenure, unelected judges who have occasionally used this power conferred upon them in the Constitution to impose their own views and their own agenda on the American people and substituting that for the views of their elected representatives. [Senate floor speech, 7/24/09]
- Sen. Grassley: Some "Unelected Judges" Long For "Power That, Under Our Constitution, Self-Governing People Exercise Themselves." From a 2012 Senate floor speech by Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA), the ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee:
GRASSLEY: We need to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. We need to preserve, protect, and defend the rights of American citizens. Justice Ginsburg and others who have a judicial longing for other constitutions that protect different rights and give unelected judges power that, under our Constitution, self-governing people exercise themselves -- I tell those judges, including Justice Ginsburg, that is the wrong approach. [Senate floor speech, 3/29/12]
Conservative Media And Activists Attack "Unelected Judges."
- Fred Barnes Criticized "Four Unelected Judges" Who Overturned California's Ban On Same-Sex Marriage. From the May 16, 2008, edition of Fox News' Special Report with Brit Hume:
BARNES: And the issue for John McCain, for instance, is judicial activism. This is a case where 4.6 million Californians had voted to say marriage had to be between a man and woman a few years ago, and then you get four unelected judges who say there is a fundamental right in the California constitution to get married and form a family.
Nobody had ever seen that right there before, but this is what drives conservatives -- and not just conservatives --crazy: judges dreaming up new rights.
And probably they are unnecessary in this case, because California, the legislature, had passed a gay marriage Bill that had been vetoed twice by Governor Schwarzenegger. The next governor will probably be a Democrat that will sign it.
And, besides, I think this puts the gay rights movement, which has been winning the argument, basically, if you believe the polls, and I do, in the worst possible light, that it takes four unelected judges to impose this gay marriage on an unwilling public. [Fox News, Special Report with Brit Hume, 5/16/08, via Nexis]
- Focus On The Family Founder James Dobson Railed Against "Unelected Judge" Who Refused To Let The Ten Commandments Be Displayed In The Alabama Supreme Court. From the March 4, 2004, edition of Fox News' now-defunct Hannity & Colmes:
DOBSON: Well, it all depends on the way you look at that. If you talk to Judge Moore, he was attempting to carry out his oath of office. That was the rule of law.
And here again you have an unelected judge who came in there and decreed that you could not acknowledge God in Alabama.
Judge Moore ran on a platform saying he was going to put that monument where it was, and he told the American -- I mean, the people of Alabama that. And they elected him by a 70 percent majority. That is the rule of law. [Fox News, Hannity & Colmes, 3/4/04, via Nexis]
- Laura Ingraham: "We Don't Want To Be Micromanaged By Some Unelected Judge." From the September 15, 2003, edition of Fox News' Hannity & Colmes:
INGRAHAM: We believe in our God and we like to have our freedom. We don't want to be micromanaged by some unelected judge or some unelected bureaucrat on the international or national level. [Fox News, Hannity & Colmes, 9/15/03, via Nexis]
- Social Conservative Advocate Gary Bauer: "Unelected Judges ... Are Trying To Force [Same-Sex Marriage] On The American People." From the October 10, 2000, edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
BAUER: Well, Bill, there's a gigantic battle going on all over the country, including in Vermont, on the definition of marriage. This country has been built, broadly speaking, on a Judeo-Christian value system. In fact, all of western civilization has been. And that value system has always said that marriage is between a man and a woman.
In this country, every time the people have had a chance to address this issue, they vote for marriage being a man and a woman. It's only unelected judges, the liberal judges you've railed about, that are trying to force this on the American people. And a conservative Republican ticket ought to be bold enough to say look, we're in favor of traditional marriage. [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 10/10/00, via Nexis]
Conservatives Have Also Repeatedly Criticized "Judicial Activism"
Rep. King: "Judicial Activism" Has "Begun To Break Down This Civilization And This Culture." From a 2012 House floor speech by Rep. Steve King (R-IA):
KING: 1965, no, excuse me; I'll go back to 1963, Mr. Speaker. There was a case called Murray v. Curlett, and I don't know that that is very well universally recognized, but that was the case that took prayer out of the public schools. There was an argument made before the activist court in 1963 that there was a separation of church and state, and that that separation of church and state was firm enough and solid enough that we could not pray in our public schools because that advocated for a religion.
And so I'll read to you the language that surely had to be reviewed by the Supreme Court justices. It says, Congress shall make -- this is the First Amendment, Mr. Speaker -- Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof. And it goes on, of course, freedom of speech, the press, and the right of the people to assemble.
It says Congress shall make no law. There was no law that came from Congress that established a religion. The law that Congress made just didn't exist with religious freedom because Congress understood that the First Amendment means what it says. The textual reading and the original understanding said Congress shall not establish a religion. We're not going to be like Sweden, establishing Lutheranism as a state religion. We're going to have freedom of religion, but it shall not establish a religion. Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.
But if you believe in judge-made law, the Supreme Court, by that decision in 1963, Murray v. Curlett, outlawed prayer in the public schools by a court decision. I think it's in direct violation of the First Amendment of the Constitution. If we're going to respect judge-made law and stop praying in our public schools, that was the beginning of the judicial activism that's begun to break down this civilization and this culture. I think those decisions needed to be made at the local school level, not at the Supreme Court level. [House of Representatives floor speech, 3/1/12, emphasis added]
Sen. McCain: "Judicial Activism Demonstrates A Lack Of Respect For The Popular Will, And That Is At Fundamental Odds With Our Republican System Of Government." From an 2009 Senate speech statement by Sen. John McCain (R-AZ):
McCAIN: Activist judges -- regardless of whether it is liberal or conservative activism -- assume the judiciary is a superlegislature of moral philosophers, entitled to support Congress's policy choices whenever they choose. I believe this judicial activism is wrong and is contrary to the Constitution.
Our Constitution is very clear in its delineation and dispersement of power. It solely tasks the Congress with creating law, not the courts. I have a long history of opposing activist judges. Judicial activism demonstrates a lack of respect for the popular will, and that is at fundamental odds with our republican system of government. I believe a judge should seek to uphold all acts of Congress and State legislatures, unless they clearly violate a specific section of the Constitution, and refrain from interpreting the law in a manner which creates new law. That is a fundamentally conservative position I have held throughout my career. [Senate floor speech, 10/21/09]
Charles Krauthammer: Judicial Activism Is "Generally The Practice Of The Left, For Example On Abortion, Overturning The Laws In 50 States With One Act Of Will On The Part Of The Supreme Court." From the March 27 edition of Fox News' Special Report with Bret Baier:
SHANNON BREAM (guest host): Charles, early on, folks who were in the courtroom who do not like the law seemed very encouraged by Justice Kennedy's remarks. But, as Liz said, he did have other remarks later on that suggested he has not actually made up his mind.
KRAUTHAMMER: The other outside chance is that the chief justice -- I think he as a conservative is instinctively inclined judicial activism, which is generally the practice of the left, for example on abortion, overturning the laws in 50 states with one act of will on the part of the Supreme Court. There is some hesitation on his part I think for the court to act particularly if it's a one vote majority to overturn a law as broad, sweeping, and important as Obamacare, particularly since was debated for almost a year and a half and in the end passed the Congress and got the signature of the president. So I think he might be, and there is an outside chance of him being a defector of this simply on the grounds of not appearing to be a judicial activist and in some way I think eroding the legitimacy of the court has an arbiter that leaves legislation generally alone. [Fox News, Special Report with Bret Baier, 3/27/12, via Nexis]
Fox's Kimberly Guilfoyle: Overturning Of California's Same-Sex Marriage Ban Was An Act Of "Judicial Activism" That "Stripp[ed] The Will Of The Voters, Of The People Of The State Of California." From the February 7 edition of Fox News' The O'Reilly Factor:
BILL O'REILLY (host): "Is It Legal Segment" tonight, back in 2008 Californians voted on whether or not to approve gay marriage. The folks decided no, that marriage should stay between a man and a woman in the Golden State. Now, that started inevitable court challenges and today the very liberal Ninth Circuit of Appeals nullified the gay marriage vote in a two to one decision.
Here now to explain it all, attorneys and Fox News analysts Kimberly Guilfoyle and Lis Wiehl. California voters basically just, you know, two judges basically said you know what; don't really care about you. What you want really doesn't matter because we say this is unconstitutional to deny gays the right to marry.
LIS WIEHL, FOX NEWS ANALYST: That is what they said. They said voters don't count or matter if voters they take away a benefit that was bestowed on a group of people -- gay marriage here is the case -- without a legitimate reason to further a state interest. These two judges could find no legitimate reason that people shouldn't be allowed --
O'REILLY: Do you really think they looked to find a legitimate reason? Because I don't.
All right. Look, the legitimate reason is that the majority of Californians, Guilfoyle --
KIMBERLY GUILFOYLE, FOX NEWS ANALYST: Yes.
O'REILLY: -- and you used to live in that state, of course -- felt that society is stronger by having the standard of marriage between a man and a woman; that the family unit is stronger. That basically the benefit ripples across when you hold up man, woman because of nature, because of a million different reasons, all right? Everybody is different on the issue. The judges said, you know, that's no reason. You know.
GUILFOYLE: You had 2-1 decision. Of course the two judges that ruled in favor of both were appointed by Democratic president. President Carter and then the one dissenting was the one appointed by Bush.
But now this is going to go -- it's going to be appealed. This will go en banc to the entire circuit court.
O'REILLY: They will rule the same way in the Ninth Circuit.
GUILFOYLE: They will rule the same way --
O'REILLY: And then it will go to --
GUILFOYLE: it will go to Supreme Court.
O'REILLY: But isn't this judicial activism?
GUILFOYLE: Well, it is. I mean many people view and correctly I think, it's stripping the will of the voters of the people of the state of California. [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 2/7/12, via Nexis]

Keep Your Canine In Shape With Exercise Tools From FitPAWS®
Ball Dynamics has been making stability and exercise balls, as well as other exercise tools for humans for 20 years. Now the company has added a similar line of products for canines ... canine athletes and canines in rehabilitation. Just like those for humans, the balls increase stability, core strength, range of motion, flexibility, neuromuscular facilitation, sensory and perceptual stimulation, joint alignment and balance control.
Agility dogs are the prime target for the FitPAWS product line, which consists of Peanuts, Eggs, Donuts, Balance Discs, Balance Pads, and the new Paw Pods, among other products.
Here is German Shepherd Wyatt, who recently lost a leg, being coached to use the FitPAWS Peanut to help him learn to balance his gait with three legs.
The FitPAWS Safety Harness helps the handler or therapist keeps the dog's activity in check while using the balancing equipment.
The Paw Pods are an advanced balance training product. Apparently, balancing on these spiky pods is a bit easier for your dog if you turn them upside down, so he's balancing on the flat side of the pods.

That's the buzz for today!

BEIJING, Nov. 20, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) and China Telecom today announced a strategic partnership in cloud computing through which the SAP® Cloud portfolio will be offered to small and large organizations in China by China Datacom Corporation Limited (CDC), a joint venture between SAP and China Communication Services (CCS), a subsidiary of China Telecom Group. CCS will be the first local customer to adopt the industry-leading offerings. The announcement was made at China SAPPHIRE, being held November 20-21 in Beijing.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110126/AQ34470LOGO)
The cooperation marks another development in the partnership that SAP and China Telecom began in 2011 and will expand on the current work the companies have done to promote mobile development and device management. With the inclusion of cloud solutions from SAP, the companies will move from basic cooperation such as Internet Data Center (IDC) to a partnership on cloud offerings and application services.
The first solutions to be made available through the partnership and hosted in a China Telecom IDC will be the complete, state-of-the-art suite of human capital management (HCM) solutions from SuccessFactors, an SAP company, making SAP the first international software vendor to deliver an integrated cloud HCM offering in China. SuccessFactors provides an integrated, collaborative HCM suites in the cloud that helps manage the entire employee life cycle -- from recruit to retire. CCS will be the first customer to subscribe to the SuccessFactors solution hosted in a China data center and expects to have 12,000 users.
"Through the cooperation with China Telecom and CCS, we are now able to provide world-class cloud solutions from SAP to our customers in China, from a data center in China," said Bill McDermott, co-CEO, SAP AG. "This is a significant milestone in our 'Innovation in China for China' strategy and our long-term commitment to the Chinese market. As a leading cloud company, SAP helps customers in China address concerns for secure data management in the cloud and receive an unparalleled cloud experience. We will continue to expand our ecosystem and will bring even more innovative cloud solutions to China to help provide local enterprises with remarkable business value, radical simplification of their IT landscapes and tremendous competitive advantages."
"Telecom operators are promoters of collaboration, providers of resources and integrators of capabilities in the cloud industry chain, while leading cloud product and service providers like SAP are the starting point of this chain. The win-win cooperation between China Telecom and SAP allows us not only to leverage each other's best resources, but also marks an innovation in business model and technology application. I believe the cooperation will speed up Chinese enterprises' cloud implementation process," said Mr. Yang Jie, president of China Telecom. "Currently, China Telecom has two major cloud bases in Inner-Mongolia and Guizhou Province, four data centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Chengdu, as well as the end-to-end data capability covering Asia, Europe, America, Africa and Oceania. China Telecom's high-quality and reliable cloud infrastructure and IaaS service will help ensure that the value of cloud solutions from SAP is fully demonstrated, which will support more Chinese enterprises in their technical transformation and business innovation with the market-leading, end-to-end cloud service."
"We, CCS, are very delighted to play the unique bonding role in this value chain. We have converged the leading cloud infrastructure, cloud products and technologies, cloud service expertise and customer bases from multiple parties, and thus provide advanced cloud services to governments and enterprises," said Mr. Li Ping, chairman of the Board of CCS. "CCS will also adopt the SuccessFactors solution, which clearly demonstrates our confidence in this product and model. I believe our cooperation with SAP will continue to deepen and expand."
"Cloud is a technology that drives business innovation and agility. It is also of great importance for Chinese government and enterprises. China is on its way to becoming a stronghold for cloud computing technology development," said Mark Gibbs, president of SAP Greater China. "Today, the notion that the key to cloud computing development is cloud applications has been widely recognized. By establishing partnerships with local enterprises, SAP has been bringing market-leading cloud applications to China, offering customers a larger variety of product options and boosting the entire market. We believe cloud applications can help Chinese enterprises flexibly and promptly respond to market changes, achieving greater business value with a lower total cost of ownership."
"SAP's cloud strategy to provide local and multinational corporations in China with its cloud portfolio is bound to have a significant impact on China's enterprise cloud market. SAP has always been strong at delivering enterprise applications on premise. With its increasing shift from on premise to on demand, this move into the SaaS space gives SAP the potential to become a heavyweight in the SaaS market in China. It provides a technology road map for large enterprises to build private cloud. Meanwhile, the local cloud center that SAP and its ecosystem of partners build together will trigger many opportunities for SMEs as they now have direct access to the SAP Cloud portfolio," said Dr. He Jian Ying, vice president, CCID Consulting. "After nearly three years of market cultivation, China's cloud computing market has moved from a speculative concept to becoming a real business opportunity. The cloud-based applications market in China is expected to grow at 34.6 percent and exceed CNY80 billion by the end of 2013."
The SAP Cloud portfolio provides the innovation and agility businesses need to rapidly adapt their processes to capitalize on ever-changing market dynamics and includes:
-- The industry's largest base of cloud users, at more than 33 million
-- The most comprehensive suite of cloud applications, covering all lines
of business -- from customer to supplier and everything in between
-- The leading social business platform, with more than 10 million users
-- The world's largest business network, with more than 1 million connected
companies transacting more than US$500 billion in commerce on an annual
-- Market-leading public, private and managed cloud offerings, including
public cloud applications ranked No. 1 in HCM, procurement, business
networks and social collaboration
-- The world's most advanced cloud platform
When taken together with the connectivity and insight of SAP social and business networks, the power and speed of the in-memory SAP HANA® database and analytics, as well as the accessibility of SAP mobile solutions, the SAP Cloud portfolio empowers a new level of business performance.

The Oakland A's are hoping their improbable season continues with a victory over the Detroit Tigers and a spot in the American League Championship Series.
The A's last night found themselves teetering on the brink of elimination. Down 2 games to 1 in this best of five series, the A's headed into the bottom of the ninth trailing 3-1, before Coco Crisp capped off a 3-run rally with a two-out walk-off single to win the game.
The A's have been beating the odds all season long. With a roster of rookies and retreads, they somehow managed to overcome a 13-game deficit to overtake the Texas Rangers and win their division. In their Divisional Series playoff against Detroit, the A's quickly fell into a 0-2 hole, only to scratch and claw their way to a 2-2 tie.
U.S. & World
Oakland General Manager Billy Beane was the toast of baseball just a few years ago, thanks to the A's repeat appearances in the playoffs and Michael Lewis' book "Moneyball," which focused on Beane's efforts to field a winning team with a small budget.
But it's been six years since Oakland was last in the post-season, taking some of the shine off Beane's boy wonder status. Critics also used the occasion of the Oscar-winning adaptation of "Moneyball," starring Brad Pitt as Beane, to suggest that maybe Beane's methods were mostly madness.
This year's A's are nothing like those teams that made Beane famous. The offense was eighth in the league in runs scored and posted an anemic .310 on-base percentage, and more than 100 games were started by pitches 25 or younger.
All season long people have been waiting for the A's to fall back to Earth, but but from July 1 forward, they went 57-26 and showed remarkable resiliency.
Tonight they face Justin Verlander, arguably the best pitcher in the American League. Verlander faced the A's twice during the regular season, going 2-0, while allowing one run and seven hits over 13 innings, and pitched seven innings of one-run ball to lead the Tigers to victory in the first game of this series.
Taking the hill for the A's is 23-year-old rookie Jarrod Parker, who struggled mightily in his lone outing against the Tigers, giving up six hits, four walks and two runs in 5.2 innings on his way to taking the loss. Parker took the loss against Verlander in the first game of the series.
With the Giants' victory over the Reds earlier today, the Bay Area is one step closer to hosting it's second BART Series. San Francisco and Oakland faced each other in the 1989 World Series, which was marred by the Loma Prieta earthquake.
That year saw the Bash Brothers A's of Canseco and McGwire defeat the Giants of Will Clark, 4 games to 1. The Giants won this year's season series 4-2, but only outscored the A's 30-28.

What to Do at Kala Ghoda
Mumbai's annual Kala Ghoda Arts festival, which kicks off Saturday, began 15 years ago as a tiny visual arts festival, but now boasts a smorgasbord of events. These include concerts, readings, cooking workshops, and heritage walks.
The festival offers a dose of celebrities -- like Bollywood music composers Salim-Sulaiman, and author Jeet Thayil, who recently won the DSC Prize for South Asian Literature. But the program includes many lesser-known artists and performers who bring quirkiness and novelty to the line-up.
The festival has sprawled well beyond the confines of the small south Mumbai neighborhood where it began. But the Kala Ghoda area will still showcase some art installations, as well as short street performances, said festival director Brinda Miller. So you could catch acrobats walking on a tight rope, or a short music jugalbandi, or jam session, in the middle of the street.
Here are our picks among the major event categories at this year's festival:
1. Dance: At the Cross Maidan, opposite Bombay University, there will be a dance performance most evenings. Many of them will be by local dance academies, such as belly-dancing event, or a performance featuring ballet and jazz.
We recommend checking out "b-boying" – a combination of break-dancing and hip-hop. There are two performances: one on Feb. 6 by Indian group Freak n Stylz and another on Feb 9, by Britains' Champloo Dance .Those looking for a more classical experience should plan for the fusion of Manipuri and Odissi dance scheduled for Feb 6.
On Feb. 10, the Mihir Khedekar group will perform Indian gymnastics, called "Mallakhamb," standing on each other to create a series of spectacular poses.
2. Food: There will be at least one session each day on cooking, or baking, and in one case tea appreciation, all at Westside restaurant, near the Kala Ghoda area. We are looking forward to attending the session on Feb 8, with Olive Bar & Kitchen Chef Thomas Zacharias, who will demonstrate some of the high-end Mediterranean restaurant chain's signature dishes.
3. Heritage: Make sure to register a day in advance to catch the open-air bus tour, offered almost daily, of south Mumbai Gothic landmarks like Victoria Terminus station (now known as Chhatrapati Shivaji station), Mumbai University and the Asiatic Society.
On Feb. 5, learn about Mumbai's history as a sailing city. Starting from Kala Ghoda, your guide will take you to the Royal Alfred Sailor's Home and the Mumbai's Yacht Club (one of the oldest in Asia), among other landmarks, during this walk.
On Feb. 8, walk along Marine Drive to learn how the city's Victorian Gothic architecture gave way to the "largest concentration of Art Deco buildings in Asia," according to the Kala Ghoda website.
These walks are restricted to 35 attendees, so get there early to get a pass.
4. Literature: To distinguish itself from other literature festivals, festival director Ms. Miller says Kala Ghoda has included several niche writing workshops, in addition to the expected readings and talks.
On Feb. 5, learn how to write about heritage and architecture from an architect, on Feb. 6, a Swedish author will teach a class on how to write detective stories, and there will be a travel writing workshop on Feb 9. All of these will be held at the Kala Ghoda Association Office.
5. Music: Head over to Cross Maidan on Feb. 7 to listen to India's Rhythm Method, a band that combines drums and other instruments to create new-age music.
The following weekend is reserved for some of the bigger names. You can catch Talvin Singh Matharoo, a tabla player known for his fusion of Indian classical music drum and bass, at the steps of the Asiatic Library on Feb 9.
At the same location the next day, you can watch a performance by Salim and Sulaiman, who have composed music for Bollywood movies like "Chak De! India."
6. Movies: Steer clear of the mainstream Bollywood and Hollywood offerings, of which there are many, and try and find the sprinkling of documentaries and independent foreign films.
There's "Chittagong," on Feb. 7 and 10, a drama set in Bangladesh in the 1930s, and based on the true story of a 14-year-old boy who battles the British colonial administration. The movie received critical acclaim when it was released in India last year.
"Waltz With Bashir," a 90-minute Israeli documentary in which the film director interviews veterans of the 1982 invasion of Lebanon, looks promising. In its 2008 review, the Wall Street Journal described this documentary as "an absolute stunner."
7. Theater: On Feb. 2, watch "Animal Farm," based on George Orwell's eponymous book but adapted to Indian environment, in a satire about India's political leaders. In a review last year, Deccan Herald called the show, directed by Atul Satya Kouahik, "one of a kind."
The play will be shown at Max Mueller Bhawan.
Events are free but the program and venues are subject to change so check before you go. The festival ends Feb. 10.

Move over Doodle Jump, The New Jersey branch of the ACLU recently unveiled its own app. And it might help keep you out of a sticky situation.
The app will allow users to stealthily record audio and video on their smartphone when they get pulled over by police and automatically upload the media to the ACLU's remote servers.
Twenty years ago, the video footage of Rodney King's beating at the hands of several LAPD officers brought Los Angeles to the boiling point, but it also harkened the age (and power) of consumer video technology. Two decades later, video tech has become pocket sized, but its potential impact still prevails.
That's where the ACLU of New Jersey's new Police Tape "police accountability app" comes in. It will allow users to record audio or video from their smartphone while the screen remains dark, appearing to be off. The footage can then be automatically uploaded the the ACLU-NJ's servers, so it can't be erased by police.
See spiffy little introductory video below.
"This app provides an essential tool for police accountability," ACLU-NJ Executive Director Deborah Jacobs said in a press release. "Too often incidents of serious misconduct go unreported because citizens don't feel that they will be believed. Here, the technology empowers citizens to place a check on police power directly."
The app also has a "Know Your Rights" section, which details your rights and obligations if you are pulled over in your car or stopped on the street.
"Police often videotape civilians and civilians have a constitutionally protected right to videotape police," Alexander Shalom, ACLU NJ's policy counsel told The Star-Leger. "When people know they're being watched, they tend to behave well."
Technology in many ways is a great leveler. We've seen plenty examples of people using technology to fight corruption of the powers that be in their part of the world. These affordable, unlying eyes can be the cause of many problems, but they might also help with some solutions.
Feel like you might have a run in with a Jersey cop this summer? The app is currently only available for free from Android (Google Play Link) and is currently waiting approval from Apple to appear in The App Store.
