Looking around at new bank branches being built today in the borough, it's hard to believe a banking crisis recently subsided and a credit crisis still lingers.
At least three new bank branches are under construction here, and more are planned for Staten Island. At one location in Richmond Valley, a TD Bank is going up on one corner and a Northfield Bank is planned for the opposite corner.
Expanding banks include both regional and community banks and, to a lesser degree, larger institutions that received bailout money from the federal government.
While the local trend bucks a national one of downsizing, banks expanding here are likely doing so because the nearby financial capital of the world, Wall Street, has undergone seismic changes.
Some large banks or financial institutions have shut completely or divested themselves of services such as private banking or wealth management.
"Some banks see an opportunity to pick up market share that would fuel their growth in a given market," said Mack Wood, a managing director of Sheshunoff Consulting, which tracks the financial services industry.
"I think the good thing for consumers is that there are groups of customers whose preferred delivery channel is still the branch," he added.
TD Bank plans to open two new branches next month, in Port Richmond as well as in Richmond Valley.
Brandon Williams, senior vice president of retail banking, said the bank had very little exposure to subprime lending and a lot of liquidity -- two ingredients that protected the institution during the recent downturn and positioned the bank to expand.
Williams said the bank is growing organically, or through the opening of new branches with a focus on customer service, rather than through acquisition and merger.
"Right now in markets like New York City, that's clearly the way to go -- to grow organically," he added.
Northfield Bank, which went public in 2007, also successfully avoided the subprime crisis and is expanding now by opening new locations. The bank is building a new branch on Hylan Boulevard in Grasmere and it recently signed a lease to open the aforementioned branch in Richmond Valley.
The latter will be built on the grounds of the former Lucent Technology laboratory, directly across the street from the under-construction TD Bank at Page Avenue and Richmond Valley Road.
John Alexander, Northfield's chairman, said there is room to grow in the borough, where the average bank branch in the borough holds an estimated $90 million in deposits.
"Staten Island is a very fast-growing borough with good income. It's a place where we recognized we had some holes in the branches and decided to fill them out," he said.
As for the credit crisis that has rocked small business, Alexander said Northfield works with clients who are hurting.
He said one longtime customer who makes paving stones has struggled in the down housing market. The bank is working with the business owner by extending the term on some of his loans while the owner cuts worker salaries.
Joe Macchia, senior vice president of retail banking at Empire State Bank, which like Northfield did not take government bailout money, said his bank's lending standards remained unchanged post-financial crisis.
"I would venture to say the smaller banks -- the community banks -- probably have never done anything different," said Macchia, who also hopes to open a second Empire State Bank branch in the borough.
But bigger banks that took money from the government's Troubled Asset Relief Program, or TARP, are also expanding here now.
Capital One plans to open its fifth branch in the borough on Forest Avenue in West Brighton in the spring. And Bank of America, one of the country's biggest banks and one that recently paid back a $45 billion loan from the government, opened a new branch in Oakwood in July. It's the bank's second branch in the borough.
"In the case of the Hylan Boulevard location, we identified a need and responded to it," said bank spokesman T.J. Crawford. "Our banking centers have been and will continue to be the cornerstone of our distribution model."

Serving Heterogeneous Buyers Through Price and Effort Differentiation

We investigate the performance of three commonly used pricing schemes — fixed fee, time based contract, and two-part tariff — in service contexts where the buyer's valuation is invisible to the seller and the seller's effort may or may not be visible to the buyer even though the buyer is charged based on effort instead of realized quality. We show that the seller's profit is the same under private or public effort in the case of fixed fee or two-part tariff. Under time based contract, the seller may be better (worse) off in keeping effort private than making it public when the cost of providing service is low (high); the trade-off is also affected by the degree of quality uncertainty in a non-monotonic way. We also find that time based contract can do as well as two-part tariff over a sizable parameter regime when effort is private.

BERGEN COUNTY — The Bergen County Prosecutor's Office is investigating two county police officers who were involved in a six-town car chase and shooting in 2010, the Record reported Wednesday.
The investigation centers on accusations that officers Saheed Baksh and Jeffrey Roberts removed evidence and tampered with the crime scene after Baksh fired his gun at Francesco Piserchia, who was fleeing from police.
John Molinelli, the county prosecutor, told the Record he was dissatisfied with how the county police were handling their review of the shooting. He reopened a criminal investigation into the case in October.

East Pennsboro Township as of Feb. 28 had around $1 million in delinquent residential and commercial sewer and refuse bills.
Since that date, notices have been sent to delinquent account owners and some payments have been made, according to Township Manager John Pietropaoli. But on Wednesday, representatives from JSDC Law Offices spoke to township commissioners about the debt collection services offered by the law firm.
"I think something definitely needs to be done and it needs to be done quicker than later," said Pietropaoli during Wednesday's meeting. "It only hurts the people that do pay their trash and sewer."
Under collection plan being considered by commissioners, the law firm would handle collection for delinquent accounts identified by the township, including collection letters, lien filings, lien enforcement and other procedures.
The costs associated with the collection process, such as $250 for the first collection letter sent to an account holder by the law firm, $500 for the second collection letter and $2,175 for costs associated with a sheriff's sale of a property, would be the responsibility of the sewer-refuse customer.
The township would not incur costs for the law firm's services, which would receive payment as delinquent accounts were collected.
Township commissioners during their next meeting are expected to vote on whether to move forward with the JSDC's collection services.
Commissioners will meet at 7 p.m. March 19 at the township building, 98 S. Enola Drive.

GLACE BAY — A musical group that has graced the stage of the Savoy Theatre many times over the past half-century will host a fundraiser concert for the venue Saturday night.
© Submitted photo
The Cape Breton Chordsmen have organized a fundraiser concert for the Savoy Theatre in Glace Bay this Saturday night.
The Cape Breton Chordsmen have spearheaded the effort titled Light up the Stage 2014, which will get underway at 7 p.m.
Following the Chordsmen's annual fall concert at the Savoy last year the president of the group's music committee, Phonse Chiasson, suggested they show their appreciation for the venue by organizing a fundraising concert.
With fellow members on board, Chiasson approached Savoy manager Pam Leader, who was thrilled and gave them the go-ahead to plan the night.
The Chordsmen made some calls and have pulled together an impressive lineup of local talent to join them on stage. They include the Men of the Deeps, Glace Bay Glee, the Cape Breton Regional Hospital choir under the direction of Shauna Doolan, and up-and-coming singer Johnathan MacInnis. Renowned entertainers Maynard Morrison and Bette MacDonald will host the evening.
"It was the Cape Breton Chordsmen who got the fundraiser rolling," said Chordsmen director Hal Higgins, noting it's one way they can give back to a place near to their hearts. "We have been grateful over the years for the great relationship we've had with the Savoy — both management and staff. The Savoy has always treated us well whenever we've held a concert there."
Higgins said having a venue like the Savoy in their backyard is a great benefit to the Chordsmen, which first formed in 1972 and now boasts approximately 50 members.
"For a community group like ours to be able to perform for the public in a classic Victorian theatre, and for a bunch of guys who sing as a pastime, it's a tremendous venue," he said. "We want to do everything we can to preserve a classic building like this and never let it go because of the kind building it is— classic Victorian design — and the kind of elegance that you don't see that much of in the modern world."
All proceeds from the concert and from a bake sale being held prior to the show in the main lobby, will go to the Savoy Theatre.
Raising funds is an ongoing battle for the Savoy, which earlier this winter sustained significant snow and ice damage, and Leader has said fundraising concerts are an important way of bringing in some much-needed dollars.
In addition to raising money for improvements and ongoing maintenance and repairs, the Savoy must also fundraise about $100,000 a year for operational expenses.
Tickets to Light Up the Stage are $29.50 and are available through the Savoy box office at 842-1577.

On the 100th anniversary of the first Amateur Radio Relay station, W1AW, the Sky Valley Amateur Radio Club (W7SKY) made contact with the Newington, Conn. station, using portable equipment set up in the Skykomish River Park.
More than 40 stations in North America were contacted during the Field Day event June 28 and 29, using both digital and voice high frequency radios.
Visiting the Sky River station, Monroe City Councilman (right) was briefed by Brad Feilberg, Monroe Emergency Management Director, on emergency communications capabilities supplemented by the Radio Club.
Amateur radio, often called HAM radio, is of interest to emergency management departments because they can be used to relay communications in times of crisis.
The Sky Valley Amateur Radio Club, according to member Mike Terry, was formed in 1989, when it was the Sultan Elementary Amateur Radio Club.

A. L. Kiplinger (U. of Colorado and NOAA/SEC), H .A. Garcia (NOAA/SEC)
The period of late October to early November 2003 was a remarkable period of solar activity from three great active regions that existed simultaneously on the same hemisphere of the sun. NOAA region 486 is arguably the most prolific of the three regions by producing five GOES soft X-ray class flares during its disk passage of 22 October -- 5 November, 2003. Two of these flares saturated the GOES-10 1-8A and 0.5-4A detectors for periods of a few minutes. On 28 October, 2003, the first event reached a peak X-ray classification of X18.4 at 11:10 UT. There was only minor saturation of the 1-8A channel but there was significant saturation seen in the 0.5-4A band. The second saturated event appears to be the largest solar flare ever observed in soft X-rays which peaked near 19:57 UT on 04 November, 2003. By comparing both events with flares exhibiting similar time profiles (also from region 486) we have reconstructed the light curves for both flares in both channels. Original estimates of the 04 Nov. flare suggested that the flare had a peak 1-8A classification of X28 with a range of X25-X31. These analyses of the 3 s data indicate that the flare peaked with a classification of X30.6 near 19:47 UT. Fitting of the two channel data further indicates a peak temperature of 41.9 x 106 K at 19:42 UT and and an extraordinary log emission measure of 51.2 log(ne2 cm-3) at ~19:48:40 UT. Some examinations of the physical morphologies of the great flares and their comparison flares have also been conducted. ALK would like to acknowledge support from NASA grant NAG5-10892

New Syracuse Crunch center Dana Tyrell was a little disoriented Tuesday afternoon.
Driving 19 hours straight from Tampa to Syracuse can do that to you.
"I'm not too sure, actually,'' Tyrell said when asked his location. "My GPS says 5 1/2 hours out.''
Tyrell guessed that put him somewhere around Baltimore. Such specifics were irrelevant, however. All that mattered was he was headed toward more hockey, and even though it was of the AHL variety, that meant his odometer couldn't wheel around quickly enough.
Sleep was unnecessary. His alternative rock station was cranked up. And much of his Escalade was crammed with hockey gear.
"You need something to listen to. It keeps you awake,'' he said of his musical selections. "I'm actually excited to get to Syracuse, play a game tomorrow. I feel fine.''
That exclamation is one that Tyrell, a second-round pick by Tampa Bay in 2007, hasn't been able to mutter nearly enough in the past three seasons. Simply put, he's a speed player with a wheel that's been broken twice and an overall game that was locked in neutral too long.
Tyrell, 23, has twice suffered a torn ACL in his right knee, once in 2009 and another last year that ended his season with Tampa Bay. Before getting in six games with the Lightening to start this season, he hadn't played since last January.
"I never let that (negativity) enter my head. I don't let that in my thoughts,'' said Tyrell, who contributed five assists in 26 games for Tampa Bay last season. "It (his knee) is as strong as ever. That's the way I'm going to think about it.
"I feel as fast. Some people even said I look faster. It (the injuries) help build character. You stick with it. I've had a few bumps in the road. I just seem to come back strong.''
The past 365 days have been loaded with spine-strengthening experiences. Just when Tyrell got his game up to speed again, the NHL lockout extended what had already been an agonizingly long wait.
"It made it almost a full year without hockey for me. It was tough,'' Tyrell said. "I almost took it as a positive thing. I took the time to work on other things. I focused on getting my strength, and (improving his) knees.''
Just after this NHL season began, the Lightning put Tyrell on waivers with the intention of sending him to Crunch. Tyrell was so bummed out that instead of first returning to Tampa Bay, which was his right, he instead jumped in a car and rode from Boston to join the Crunch for a game at Adirondack.
"I thought it showed a sign of his character,'' said Syracuse coach Jon Cooper.
"I hadn't played a game in a couple of days,'' Tyrell said. "I wanted to get in a game. It (missing it) didn't even cross my mind.''
The strengths of Tyrell could make him the right guy to change the chemistry of a Crunch team that has dropped eight of its last 10.
"He's a really good energy player. He's strong on pucks,'' Cooper said. "He works hard. He eats minutes for you.''
Even though his trip to Syracuse has been unexpected and gas-guzzling, Tyrell lines up for that buffet with enthusiasm.
"You want to develop your game more,'' Tyrell said. "That's a point I took for this experience. Worrying is the most useless emotion you can have.''

HOUSTON, Sept. 24 (UPI) — Officials with the Houston Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals say they seized 1,045 animals from a local home on suspicion of mistreatment.
Houston SPCA investigator Charles Jantzen said many of the animals taken from a northwest Houston home Wednesday had been crammed into cages and were living with little food and water, the Houston Chronicle reported Thursday.
"They were in deplorable conditions throughout the entire property," Jantzen said. "Very few of the animals had the basic staples of life — food, water and shelter."
Most of the animals seized following an anonymous tip were birds, but SPCA investigators also rescued dogs, snakes, iguanas, gerbils and a goat.
"There was a goat there that was skin-and-bones walking around the property," Houston SPCA spokeswoman Meera Nandlal said.
The Chronicle said the unidentified owners of the home told authorities they sell the animals at area flea markets. No arrests were reported as the homeowners were reportedly cooperating with authorities.

Gasoline prices continue to creep upward in New Jersey as the July 4th holiday approaches.
They're up for the second week in a row, to an average of $2.61 for a gallon of regular.
That's below the national average of $2.75, but still nine cents higher than a year ago.
More motorists are hitting the road for the holiday, creating higher demand that is translating to higher prices at the pump.
The AAA New Jersey Automobile Club estimates 945,000 New Jerseyans will travel by vehicle this weekend.

Took a day to digest the results of the midterms.
Now, historically speaking, the results aren't very surprising. And for all the claims of a "enthusiasm gap" the percentages weren't very much.
What did strike me as odd as that, even as voters were electing GOP and Tea Party candidates, polls were also saying that the majority of voters didn't much LIKE the GOP, and that the policies of the Bush II administration are still seen as much of the reason for the state of the economy. If there's a message here, it's "Okay, fine, you want to try and fix it, go ahead. We still don't like or trust you."
The GOP may have a problem though. The party of no has to show they can govern now - and Clinton-era stalling and partisan witch hunts may backfire on them.
However, something that kept running though my mind yesterday was "The triumph of the narrative". All during the election cycle, the GOP candidates and Tea Party talkers kept saying things like "reduce the size of government". "cut spending". "go back to the Constitution". And "restore freedom".
What they didn't say was what any of those things mean - or how they were going to do it. They promised rainbow sparkle ponies and glitter, without mentioning how they were going to get those ponies. (And certain types in the Democratic party were pouting and staying home because THEY thought they were going to get rainbow sparkle ponies in 2008, and are upset because those ponies haven't shown up yet)
At the same time, the Tea Party types are going to want their pound of flesh as soon as possible. At the very least, they want all the bad things they believe Obama has been doing to be reversed yesterday, thank you. At the most, they want impeachment and Obama gone by the end of the year if not sooner. And you have some members of Congress (Issa, Bachmann), who have stated that the only thing the next Congress should do is investigate EVERYTHING Obama has ever done and rehash long dead and long debunked claims and conspiracy myths.
And that's not counting the GOP leadership who have openly stated that the goal of the next Congress is to make sure Obama is a single term president. Add all that together, and you know very well we're looking at a return to the Whitewater witch hunts of the 1990's, then they spent millions of taxpayers dollars looking for anything they could pin on Bill Clinton.
The reason it's the triumph of the narrative is that most of the things they believe Obama has done have been the precise opposite of what Obama has actually done. They scream "socialist", but many of his policies wouldn't have been out of place in the Reagan administration - and in any other country, "socialist" Obama would be seen as hopelessly conservative. But that's not what the narrative says. The narrative screams "death panels" and "he's raising your taxes" and "government takeover" and "he's not protecting our borders!"
But none of that is true.

Most random place you've ever
had sex.
The trampoline post made me curious. lol
My DH and I haven't had sex in a lot of places besides the bedroom. We did hook up in one of the barns on his parents' property last time we were up there.
My EX and I though. We had some crazy sex. We always had to try to be creative, since we were in hs and our parents didn't trust us to be alone. lmao Even for a couple years after hs we had to be creative, since he was military and we didnt' get a lot of time together.
I think the most random place with him was the bed of his brother's pick up, as his brother was driving down the freeway. (random AND insanely dangerous o.O). I had so many bruises from the bed liner.
It's a small town so the police knew it was our truck and knocked on the window asking for us by name. The next Fourth of July that officer drove by MIL's house during our party, rolled down his window and right in front of his whole family yelled into the yard "I barely recoginzed you kids with your clothes on!"

During a December 2010 snowstorm, the Rhode Island Hospital emergency department treated eight patients with snow blower injuries. All were injuries to the fingers or hand, three of which were partial amputations.
The Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that nearly 6,000 people sustain injuries from snow blowers each year. Most of these are injuries to the fingers and hands; however there have been at least 19 deaths since 1992 attributed to snow blower accidents.
The Injury Prevention Center at Rhode Island Hospital offers the following snow blower safety tips:

Apple preps
netbook 10-inch touch screen thingy
The web is aflame with rumors that a 10in, touchscreen "netbook" will arrive from Apple later this year. But we see things differently. As we reported on Monday, the rumor-fest began with a brief article on the Taiwanese industry-watching website DigiTimes that Apple's iPhone-display supplier, Wintex, will be supplying …
somebody has to say it...
they also don't know how to build a over-$500 computer that is not a piece of junk...
@ benito
You win teh interwebs!
Read Jobs' words
'We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk'
That leaves two possibilities:
1: Apple could be putting a lot of effort into trying to design a half decent n**book for $500, or:
2: they could release a machine with the general n**book format, add some special Apple sauce and use that to justify a higher price. The 12" Powerbook still commands high prices on eBay, so there is a demand for a small Apple laptop.
Mac floppies
Funny, I always thought Mac formatted HD floppies were 1.6MB, as are Acorn ADFS ones.
Why is the netbook sector growing?
Because the vast majority of the ones sold are. by comparison, cheap.
Will the apple machine fall into that category, probably not.
iPwn you
Wuh-whats that?
Its an iHouse!
But theres no windows!
Exactly! Bwa hah hah hah!
(sorry people, but it had to be said)
AppStore lock-in or not
The crucial decision they have to make is (a) small laptop or (b) big iPod touch, with the important difference being the app store lockin on the latter.
You know nothing!
Apple's 1.44MB floppy disk drive was called "SuperDisk", not "SuperDrive". I don't know whether to be pleased or dismayed that I know that.
MacBook Touch
Maybe that touch screen isn't the main screen. It could go on the back of a laptop's lid so has iPhone-like functionality even while it's closed up in low-power mode.
One more possibility
@Mike Richards:
3. Apple could be prepping a piece of junk.
And @Richard Porter:
No, the HD drives were 1.4 MB, as opposed to 1.44 MB on MS DOS. AmigaDOS had 1.76 MB.
I can see the Mac addicts around campus starting to feel better. They'll soon have something as pretty as my eee PC 1000HA to flash about!
Let's not use the netbook name for this.
Whatever Apple's actually up to, one thing's for sure
the share price will tank again when they fail to announce a 10" touchscreen 12-core Nehalem-powered device with a 1TB SSD and 2 week battery life on whichever date some analyst pulls out his ass and proclaims TEH DAY
Apple Quality
"Although if the PC market continues to implode, Apple just might have to learn how."
For Apple, there has been no implosion, in fact, they have reported increases in sales. Not that I own any Apple products... if they are genuinely "higher quality" they can sustain this position. After all, people still buy from John Lewis (Nieman Marcus is a loose equivalent for US readers - sans the lowest price promise of John Lewis).
iPods for Teens
Obviously they're going to release an iPod for the modern day teenager. Apple has simply recognised that most teenagers won't read anything unless it comes with big letters and plenty of pictures to colour. I think they missed the boat myself, and should have done something similar to Leapfrog instead, so teens could learn to phonetically sound out the names of the bands they want to listen to.
iBook re-use
The last model was discontinued in June 2006, not quite three years ago. There are still plenty in use, so making a tablet iBook might be too confusing.
On the other hand, the SuperDrive switch was made in just under one year. The last Mac that shipped with a floppy SuperDrive was the PowerBook G3 (Bronze Keyboard, aka Lombard), which was discontinued in February 2000. The first optical SuperDrive was in the PowerMac G4 (Digital Audio), released in January 2001.
They might call it the iBook Tablet, or just iTablet. Maybe the iPad, since it acts more like a pad of paper than a book that opens.
@ Andy Bright
Apple are already helping the teens. The new shuffle says the name of the track they are listening to. No need to learn to read at all now.
Whatever your view of Apple I wouldn't underestimate them. Whatever it is is will be interesting and set the bar high for all other contenders
Paris cos its good for porn
@Daniele Procida
SuperDrive was the name for both Apple's floppy and optical drive.
The SuperDisk you are thinking of is the LS-120 which was never made by Apple.
Could be they just don't "call" it a computer.
Make it proprietary, a dedicated Itunes player / shop / photoframe which comes as a part of your iCool (tm) apple refigerator.
Just like MS always is trying to sell set top / webpc's / cloud computers, this could be the i-phone for at home.
Just don't call it a computer....
what we know
All we know is that Apple will try to use this new gadget to lock people into THEIR way of doing things, will definitely change things around so that NONE of their current accessories work with this new toy, and will strive to make sure that nobody with any imagination is allowed to break out of the Jobsian universal group mind.
But at least it'll probably be pretty, and the hardware will probably be well designed.
If they are going to reuse a name...
How about a Newton?
Wow...my Newspad, at last?
Sounds like the screen's _still_ a bit too small to do any real sketching on, for us media/design/arts types. Still, it looks like somebody -- hoorah, Apple -- is getting a step closer to making me my Newspad at long, long last (yeah, that's right, screw the flying cars).
For you non-Kubrick fans:
...what Cdr Bowman is watching himself being interviewed on the BBC on while eating his microwaved reconstituted scrambled eggs...also what he uses to record his messages to Houston on, and jacks into to HAL from anywhere on the ship on, and a zillion other nifty things.
@ Tom, re: "If they are going to reuse a name..." : I don't think they'd revive "Newton", owing to previous reminders of poor performance, especially handwriting recognition. I think "MacPad" would be totally sweet, although they'll probably go with "iPad" (groannnn).
And, as far as a n3tbook goes -- that is, just enough computer to use the 'Net and do a little basic work -- I think I saw a comment on this very site to the effect that Apple already made a netb66k, and it's called the G3 iBook.
MacFreak since 1985 (bite me, WinBoi),
(Jobs with a halo, only because El Reg still doesn't have the old-school "smilin' Mac" boot-time icon yet)
cop a ...?
Surely the larger version of an iPod Touch is an iPod Feel?
Mine's the one with the fake left arm that leaves me one hand free...
@ raving angry loony
You complain about Apple's lock-in and compatibility problems, but what OS do you run? I hope it's Linux.
i'll get me coat now .. :)
Yawn. Apple, someone else got there first.
Ok, it's not 10", but it is rather cool, and runs cooler than a penguin (geddit?) thanks to the exclusion of Atom.
I'm rather surprised TheReg hasn't written an article on this one!
Ahh, I see they have. It's even linked from this article. Serves me right for skim reading before my boss catches me.
They say a picture's worth a thousand words...
Crystal Ball: Apple's $599 "iPad Touch" Netbook (with pictures)
I know nothing!
Ah yes. You're quite right about the names, Anonymous Coward. I'd forgotten that. It looks like I have the pleased/dismayed spectrum covered, anyway.
Makes sense to me....
...since a touchscreen would bring phone/touch-like interface to a laptop, doing away with the mouse. Maybe even still include a physical keyboard, making it a considerable step forward for a netbook-like device.
@benito darder oliver
"they also don't know how to build a over-$500 computer that is not a piece of junk..."
As you say, "somebody has to say it... ", but did it need to be you?
Your credibility just took a huge hit!
And with a name like that, they'll remember your inanity!
Gigantic iPod Touch - yes
I think a gigantic iPod Touch would be a great idea. No need to go down the underpowered x86 route with short battery life, when you could use the latest ARM Cortex chip which would make the Touch's interface fly, even when scaled up to to a 10" display. The only thing I wouldn't like, no doubt, would be the price.
@benito darder oliver
Carry on baiting.....
You're a master.
@Mike Flugennock
I think you'll find the Newspad is credited to Arthur C Clarke not Kubrick
Clarke has similar "web" devices of various size and function in a few of his books
i'm not i see the point of a 10" Touch (as it were)
and then again, a 10" screen isn't really going to be able to replace my macbook
so in a way, i'm hoping it's not an iTablet, because if it is, i'll be buying it, but i'll be wishing the screen was bigger the whole time
the announcement date for this item is blindingly obvious
it'll be when Jobs returns to the public world again - let the new guy do all the press stuff for a few months, and when there's a major new product, Steve will be back on the stage.
in fact, i can see them doing a Snow Leopard keynote, and the "one more thing" will be this tablet thing
Touchy feely 10" OLED screen would be nice.

21 days remain between publication of this article and the 2014 NFL Draft, and after free agency the projections of the Tennessee Titans' first-round pick have only become more muddled.
Going back to the beginning of this process, the odds-on favorite was inside linebacker C.J. Mosley—a talent that has become no more than an afterthought for the Titans.
From there Anthony Barr has taken the reins as the top projected target of the team, but as each day passes new names become tied to the Titans.
Adding smoke to an already clouded picture are the pre-draft visits of the following top-tier prospects: Justin Gilbert, Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, Calvin Pryor, Timmy Jernigan, Derek Carr and Teddy Bridgewater (pictured).
The players named above span six different positions, four of whom play on the defensive side of the ball. Despite fielding an offense that finished the year ranked 22nd in the NFL, the Titans are fairly set on that side of the ball.
A restructuring defense has brought in a boatload of new talent, yet the need for more prospects remains. As far as speculation goes, odds are the Titans will pick a defensive player in the first round, but let's go ahead and put down some numbers for the team's top targets.
For the sake of brevity, I will limit the piece to prospects I feel have a legitimate shot of going to the Titans and are likely to still be on the board.

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama – Kaiser Aircraft Industries' chief financial officer said the company is looking to lease out the bulk of its 1.7 million square feet and 180 acres at the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport but is not able to discuss details about the future of Kaiser in Birmingham.
Randy Shealy, CFO at Kaiser, said Kaiser will still have "a continuing business" at the airport, but would not say how many employees the company currently has or what operations will continue.
"We aren't getting into the details of exactly what we're doing," he said.
The company reportedly had 125 employees at the end of 2013. Kaiser has not filed a mass layoff notice with the State Dislocated Worker Unit at the Alabama Department of Economic and Community Affairs in keeping with the Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification (WARN) Act.
Shealy said the nature of Kaiser's work with military aircraft require it to be secretive about its operations at the airport and limits what the company can disclose.
What is known is that the 1.2 million-square-foot main hangar, the two warehouses totaling 295,000 square feet and the paint booth that make up the Kaiser complex on the 180 acres are now available for lease.
Birmingham's Graham & Co. announced earlier today it is marketing the property to aerospace and aviation companies as well as manufacturers and distributors that might need that amount of space with direct access to the runway.
"We have some excess capacity that we don't think we will be utilizing going forward," Shealy said.
He said Kaiser determined it would be best to offer that space to economic developers to lure in other companies to create jobs and benefit the metro area.
The Birmingham Airport Authority owns the property and has a long-term lease with Kaiser. Kaiser will sublease or possibly joint venture with another entity to fill the space, Shealy said.

The grand opening of a new Staten Island Republican headquarters yesterday turned into a rally of support for Congressman Michael Grimm -- and there was no question the party faithful were behind him, despite questions raised in the media about his campaign finance and business history.
"You can listen to those that want to tear us down, but this room speaks volumes," Grimm said. "This room, the energy in this room, the passion in this room, the love of country in this room is unparalleled in the United States."
A beaming crowd of more than 100 supporters who turned out for the opening of the new Staten Island Republican Party headquarters in New Dorp cheered for the congressman, chanting his name as he took the podium to speak. Outside, people held signs affirming their support for Grimm and deriding the "liberal media." Across the street, protesters held signs calling Grimm corrupt.
Grimm started off with a crack about The New York Times, which has published articles, citing anonymous sources, that allege Grimm has accepted illegal campaign cash, and detailing his past business dealings.
He told a story about his little dog Sebastian leaping, "fangs out," trying to bite a mailman on the rear. His staff was mortified, he said.
"I told my staff, 'It's OK, Sebastian just thought that he was delivering The New York Times,'" Grimm said.
More forceful in his condemnation of The Times was Grimm's political father figure, Guy Molinari, twice using profanity to refer to the newspaper.
"I was going to take a copy of The New York Times and ignite it," Molinari told the crowd. "But Sebastian beat me to it and he (expletive) all over the paper."
In his speech, Grimm said that during his Marine Corps service in the Persian Gulf War, he was asked why he volunteered for combat. A similar question came up again recently, about why he serves in Congress.
"After the last few days of being attacked, someone asked me, 'Why do you do it?'" he said.
Grimm told the story of a young woman and U.S. citizen from Bay Ridge who moved to Yemen with her husband. After he started abusing her, she tried to return home, but couldn't because he had put restrictions on her passport. The State Department said there was nothing they could do, but Grimm said he would go to Yemen himself to get her. To avoid the international incident, Grimm said, a diplomat finally talked the family into letting the woman go back to Brooklyn.
"So if anyone in the media wants to know why Michael Grimm serves in Congress, that's why," he said.
After the event, Grimm told reporters the support from Staten Islanders was "overwhelming." He said the people of Staten Island deserve someone who will fight for them, and that's what he's done.
"That's why I've become public enemy number one of The New York Times. I represent everything they dislike, so when you're effective and you're doing good work, you get targeted," Grimm said.
The people will decide whom to send to Congress, not the media, Grimm said, and he wasn't worried how the allegations would affect his campaign. "People know who I am. They know I'm honest. They know my honor, they know my integrity," he said.
He said some of the claims in The Times stories were "particularly outrageous," namely the idea that the former FBI agent would accept any illegal cash, campaign or otherwise.
"The funny thing is, they said I went to the Federal Building to collect this illegal cash," Grimm said. "So the insult is not only that they're saying I'm a criminal, when obviously I am not, but that I'm an idiot on top of it."
A call to The Times for comment on the politicians' remarks about the paper was referred to its communications staff, who did not return a phone call and e-mails last night.
Several other elected officials also offered support for Grimm. State Sen. Andrew Lanza said anyone who anonymously accuses people of something is a "coward."
"When you're throwing stones at someone, and as Andy said, you're hiding behind the shadows, it's not going to have the impact you think it will," City Council member Vincent Ignizio added.
Assemblywoman Nicole Malliotakis praised him for his leadership in Washington. Staten Island GOP chairman Bob Scamardella said the stories were based on anonymous accusations and guilt by association, and praised Grimm for leading the party's 2010 victories.
"When one of our teammates is under siege, we all stand up next to him," City Council member James Oddo said.

Having just discussed the possible impact of predictive coding – see our previous post – with fellow contract attorneys on a document review that one of the Contract Attorney Central brains is currently rat-racing at, the topics of demand for contract attorneys and the future of the industry came up. We thought we should share with you the two main concerns and Contract Attorney Central's take on the future of our beloved industry.
Domestic And Foreign Outsourcing
1. A number of large firms outsource their legal support services but also (parts of) their e-discovery projects to foreign countries. Outsourcing to emerging countries such as India and the Philippines does have cost benefits for the firms and will eventually put them ahead of more expensive competitors when it comes to bidding for e-discovery projects. However we experienced that mainly the first level review (basic coding for responsiveness) is outsourced to foreign countries. Most of the follow up work such as second level review, translations, document descriptions in notes fields, privileged reviews, quality-control and production related tasks are still done by the firms and their domestic teams. Just recently a fellow contract attorney in London secured a position on a second level review for a US law firm working on material previously first level reviews in India. Hence while there is the threat of cheaper (and more productive?) competition on the document review there still is and will still be tasks which firms prefer to be done domestically under their own supervision. This should offer contract attorneys opportunities to secure positions and to get involved in potentially more interesting work.
2. Domestic outsourcing comes with slightly different aspects as it's not really a replacement for contract attorneys conducting document reviews but rather a change of environment and office culture to law firm-based reviews. A number of e-discovery provider/review centers as well as recruitment companies with their own document review department have recently popped up offering review space, supervision, staffing and management of document review projects for law firms. All the contract attorneys here at Contract Attorney Central have worked on both: law firm based and specially tailored review centers. There are pros and cons to both (which we should discuss in more detail in a future post perhaps). But the bottom line as to the future of document review work in this regard is that contract attorneys will have to get used to being in less glamorous offices or working in conference rooms with fewer facilities (mail room, free coffee, dinners and taxi services) and no support team. The future speaks of more custom-made working environments (open space offices, basic setup, no support beyond project-related matters and no clean bathrooms.
Over-Saturated Contract Attorney Market
The second main concern coming up is whether the contract attorney and document review attorney market in the USA and UK is over-saturated. A very high number of lawyers leave law schools having successfully completed their studies every year. No wonder one American attorney is suing 14 law schools on behalf of unemployed law graduates for allegedly misrepresenting graduate employment statistics. This not only leads to heightened competition for associate positions but also naturally to more and more law graduates choosing the contract attorney route. We here at Contract Attorney Central have experienced more and more law graduates entering the document review world right after law school (in the USA) or completion of their training contract (in the UK) rather than securing permanent positions in law firms, which was traditionally the expected career path. At first glimpse this might appear as a threat to contract attorneys currently in the market. However all of Contract Attorney Central's writers are receiving a large number of calls every week for potential projects and a look at the job boards (ThePosseList and Totallylegal) reveals a lot of document review projects out there.
From Contract Attorney Central's point of view the document review market in the US and UK is still busy and document review projects are popping up regularly. Despite the challenges ahead (predictive coding, outsourcing and over-saturation), the situation is not as bad (as we contract attorneys usually tend to moan about) and for the foreseeable future there should be enough work. If you don't consider yourself a career contract attorney and want to look further afield you may wish to consider your options beyond contract attorney work here and here.

The Board of Trustees of the Union County Performing Arts Center announced the appointment of Lawrence E. McCullough, as its new executive director.
McCullough succeeds Acting Executive Director James J. Kennedy, who stepped in as the organization's chief when Executive Director Samson D. Steinman was appointed mayor of the City of Rahway in September, 2013.
Previously, McCullough worked nine years at Woodbridge Township municipal government under three mayoral administrations as public information officer, grants officer and special event coordinator.
McCullough holds a Ph.D. in ethnomusicology from University of Pittsburgh and spent several years as a freelance writer/editor for newspapers and magazines throughout the U.S. His administration background includes serving as assistant director of the Indiana University School of Music Program at Indianapolis; administrative director, Humanities Theatre Group; executive director, Music Umbrella of Austin; press director, Hall Institute of Public Policy; senior entertainment publicist, Englander & Kessee; specialist in arts and media development, Skye Consulting.
"Union County Performing Arts Center is a tremendous organization with a sterling history and a superb team of dedicated staff, volunteers and board members," said McCullough. "I feel deeply honored to be entrusted with guiding UCPAC forward in its mission of utilizing the arts as a catalyst for community development."
The Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC) is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) corporation operating several multi-purpose venues in Rahway. A qualified organization of the New Jersey Cultural Trust, UCPAC sponsors a year-round calendar of arts and education events in the 60-seat Loft, 200-seat Hamilton Stage and 1,300-seat Mainstage Theatre at 1601 Irving St. in downtown Rahway.
Built in 1928 as a state-of-the-art Vaudeville Era entertainment palace, the Mainstage Theatre is listed on both the National and State Registers of Historic Places and recognized as a model of successful restoration.
Allied with the Live Nation concert touring network, Union County Performing Arts Center is an anchor of the Rahway Arts District and contributes significantly to Rahway's emergence as a thriving arts hub along with Arts Guild of New Jersey, Merchants and Drovers Tavern Museum, Rahway Dance Theatre, Rahway Academy of Music and Rahway Branch YMCA of Eastern Union County.
In 2012, Union County Performing Arts Center was awarded two major grants from the National Endowment for the Arts - an ArtWorks grant celebrating American Jazz Masters and an Our Town grant to develop innovative arts programming in the community.
"Through these grants and other local partnerships, Union County Performing Arts Center will continue to support Rahway's growth as a cultural destination for the region," said McCullough.

Pessimists move so fast they can make your head spin. A few months ago, the conventional wisdom held that America was running out of oil and gas—and so was the whole world. Peak oil and an age of scarcity were falling upon us. Alas and alack, o woe!But then a few people and publications, including VM, began to take note of something new: vast, once-inaccessible U.S. energy reserves that might outstrip all the reserves in the Middle East (and Canada has even more than we do).This did not fox pessimists and worriers for long. David Rothkopf has gotten in fastest with what we expect will soon be a common theme: America, once doomed because it had no more oil, is now even more doomed because it has too much:
It looks like the United States is showing the early symptoms of a particularly nasty case of the Resource Curse. The dreaded syndrome, also known as Hugo Chávezitis, tends to strike countries when they tap into large finds of oil, gas, or other valuable natural resources. Although such bonanzas clearly have their advantages, the influx of new wealth often leads countries to neglect real underlying problems or the requirements of long-term growth simply because they can spend their newfound riches to paper over their troubles. Political leaders don't have to do the hard work of building human capital and promoting sustainable economic growth—they can just coast along, riding the benefits of the resource boom.
Oh woe, alackaday! America is obviously extremely, extremely doomed.Rothkopf is no slouch as a thinker, and his article makes some important points. But it's worth remembering that America has actually suffered under a whole host of resource curses, beginning at least as far back as the day the Virginian colonists figured out what tobacco was good for. Some of the resource booms really were terrible curses, like cotton. Yet we've staggered through gold rushes, oil booms, the opening of the mind-boggling bounty of the Middle West farm belt, and others too numerous too mention. (Poor New England was afflicted with the cod curse for centuries.)In a word, while we aren't immune to the temptations and the stupidities that come with natural abundance, we have so far managed to survive all the terrible trials by plenty that nature has thrown at us.We'll probably survive this one too. At Via Meadia, we hope that America will be smitten by many more curses of exactly this kind.

The Congress of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Nurses and Midwives (CATSINaM) is the sole representative body for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander nurses and midwives in Australia. CATSINaM's primary function is to implement strategies to increase the recruitment and retention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples into nursing and midwifery professions.
In 2015 the total number of nurses and midwives registered in Australia was 360,008. Of these 263,209 were registered as a registered nurse only, 59,429 were registered as an enrolled nurse only, and 3,591 were registered as a midwife only.
In 2015 there were 3,187 nurses and midwives employed in Australia who identified as an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander. This represents 1.1% of all employed nurses and midwives who provided their Indigenous status.

Upcoming Events
The CATSINaM International Indigenous Health Workforce Meeting on November 7th, held at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre, is a unique event with the theme of 'unmasking our collective history and pride in our global identity'. It is the first time we have invited our First Nations' nursing and midwifery sisters and brothers from other countries to meet with us in Australia so we can share our collective wisdom and experience in the provision of high quality and culturally safe services to our peoples. Speakers from Australia and abroad will explore topics relating to Indigenous knowledge, culture, experiences and identity in professional practice and health care.
The CATSINaM Student Day on November 6th 2016 , to be held at Novotel on Collins in Melbourne, continues the tradition we started in 2014 at the Perth conference, when we held our inaugural Student Day. It has proved to be a well-attended and highly valued event by students, supporting them to stay focused on achieving their dream of becoming a nurse and/or midwife.
The student day will be followed by our Hall of Fame Masquerade Gala Dinner 'Unmasking our Heroes' at the Crown Promenade where CATSINaM will induct our first inductee into the Hall of Fame. The evening will include a photo exhibition to 'unmask our heroes' and screen a short documentary on CATSINaMs history.

HOLLAND, MI - Zeeland's Primera Plastics, Inc., provided $10,000 in tuition grants for Holland and West Ottawa schools students to attend summer school classes to stay on track to graduate.
Company founder and president, Noel Cuellar, recently spoke to 120 students at the start of the program and challenged them to get their education, be the best person they can be and to believe in themselves.
"There's nothing you can't do with an education and not much you can do without one," said Cuellar to students at Holland's Van Raalte Tech School. "Be the best you can be and if what you want is to be a factory worker then be the best factory worker there is."
Cuellar, a Holland High School graduate, company is a major plastics parts supplier to the auto and furniture industries.
The tuition grants are meant to help students make up lost ground in their core subject and motivate them to graduate. Classes kicked off Tuesday, June 17, and run for six weeks ending in late July.
"With our tight budgets, it is challenging to help all students who need classes to get caught up with their classes and it's a welcome gift of assistance from a local employer that will give students a second chance to be part of their graduating class," said Holland Schools Superintendent Brian Davis.
Kent Henson, West Ottawa Schools superintendent for instructional services, said this is the second year Cuellar's company has provided the grants, which give students who might not be able to pay for tuition a chance at class credit recovery to get back on track for graduation. He said it was a great, ongoing partnership.
Cuellar told students he barely graduated but only came to appreciate how education could change your life, after he was married and working. He said he began study plastics manufacturing technology in his late 20s. The company employs 150 people and reports $20 million in annual sales.
"I feel I would be lost if I couldn't catch up this summer," said student Rocio Enriquez, a Holland senior, who is making up a math class at Holland High School this summer, in a press release.
Enriquez said it is important to him that he passes his classes and graduates with his class next year.

I already had several of the interchangeable cartridges and wanted them all. I've used this nice border on a scrapbook project.
I love this punch. I use punches and ribbons on just about all of my pages.
I like this product is easy to make beautiful border.
To do simple and elegant project you can use it.

EGS:NP is a sub-comic of El Goonish Shive
If you have not read El Goonish Shive, EGS:NP will likely be confusing at times and full of spoilers. The "NP" stands for NewsPaper, and is in reference to nothing other than the format of the strips.
This is the first EGS:NP story. It focuses on Tedd, a normally male mad scientist who apparently forgot to turn himself back to normal before school after turning himself into a girl.
Beyond this point, the editorials will boldly assume you've either read the
main story comics
and know who these characters are, or simply don't care ;)
All comics, artwork, characters copyright © 2002-2015 by Dan Shive.
El Goonish Shive is a comic about a group of teenagers who face both real life and bizarre, supernatural situations.
It is a comedy mixed with drama and is recommended for audiences thirteen and older.
