Just one call to communicate with all of your friends
Pheeder allows you to communicate with your friends simultaneously, with a single phone call. Call Pheeder, leave a message and hang up. Seconds later all of your friends, or anyone you want, receives the message at the very same instant. And if they want, they can send a reply to your message.
It's been going for a few days in NYC, and the developers plan to launch it in Europe soon.
The Shout-O-Phone
Another example of what mobile communication meant a few decades ago.
"Friends and relatives on opposite sides of the French-Swiss border must exchange greetings across a forbidden zone of seventy feet wide, but that doesn't matter to the well-equipped conversationalist. He talks through a megaphone and listens with ear trumpets like airplane detectors, while his binoculars completed the illusion of nearness."

Robotic flowers react to SMS
The West Australian reports on an exhibition held at The Perth Institute of Contemporary Art featuring Mathew Gardiner's robotic flowers which react to text messages.
"Matthew Gardiner shows us a way forward from the clutches of paper with the graceful Oribotics Laboratory . Built on idea of phototropism in flowers, Gardiner has put together five robotic flowers that react to SMS messages from cities around the world, opening and closing as satellite beams bounce off their origami petals."

Ringing the changes in Brazil
Thousands of less-well-off Brazilians who use mobile phones pose a problem for operators in one of the world's most rapidly growing mobile phone markets, reports the FT.
"Companies have had no problem about winning new customers, with the market increasing by 295 per cent since 2000 to reach 91.8 million users.
But four out of every five customers use pre-paid cards and generally spend far less on calls than their better-off counterparts. Competition among the operators has been so fierce that the Brazilian market has become one of the least profitable in the world."
Your cell phone is so money
By next year, you'll be able to pay simply by swiping your cell phone a few inches from a cash register, with a new wireless standard called Near Field Communication. CNN reports.
"An NFC chip in your phone will send your credit-card number -- stored on your phone or on the chip -- by way of short-distance radio waves.
Unlike radio-frequency identification (RFID) and other existing contactless payment systems, NFC chips allow two-way information exchange by rolling an RF transmitter and reader into one five-millimeter package.
An electronic reader at the checkout will decode the number and ring up your purchase.
You don't even have to buy a new phone. When it hits stores next spring, the miniSD-card-size adapter from SanDisk can add NFC to any smartphone with a Symbian operating system when it hits stores next spring.
The first pay-by-phone option should roll out later this year, with more applications to follow."
The Cellphone Age
Jason Fry's three-year-old son may never answer a phone that's not ringing specifically for him. And he may go his entire life without changing his personal number. As cellphones replace landlines, telephone habits and etiquette are taking turns into the unknown. [WSJ]
Flame 5
Flame 5 (F5), by Nina Marquart and Richard Etter (you might remember his AwareFashion shirt that senses mobile phones) allows to notify a remote person via heat that he or she has just received an SMS. The clothing heats up depending on the personal message.
Embedded in the jacket is light-weight technology that allows the mobile device of the wearer to connect to the jacket via Bluetooth and to heat different parts of the clothing.
Todays mobile phones use sound, vibration and light to interact with the user. Flame 5 offers mobile phones a more sensual and calm communication via heat. Heat has been chosen since it is often associated with emotional connectedness. Moreover heat can be felt unobtrusively and in the periphery of a wearers attention.

Mobile phone use by Arabs up 70%
Mobile phone use in the Arab world surged 70% in 2005, boosted by lower prices due to more competition, a study said yesterday, reports the Gulf Times.
The study by Dubai-based Madar Research said mobile phone subscriptions in Arab countries jumped to 87.06 million by the end of 2005 from 51.19 million at end-2004, equivalent to a pan-Arab penetration rate of 28%.
... "Mobile phones have interestingly become a more viable alternative in many Arab countries where fixed telephone service is either unreliable or unable to meet demand,
... The study, which covered 18 countries, said Libya had the fastest growth rate in mobile subscription while Bahrain and the UAE had penetration rates comparable to Europe".
3G cost billions: Will it ever live up to its hype?
An in depth articleon 3G by Kevin J. O'Brien for the IHT.
"European mobile phone companies spent $129 billion six years ago to buy licenses for "third-generation" networks that were supposed to give people the freedom to virtually live from their cellphones, reading e-mail, browsing the Internet, placing video calls, enjoying music and movies, buying products and services, making reservations, monitoring health - all from the beach, the bus, the dentist's waiting room, wherever they were.
But today, most people use their cellphones just as they did in 2000 - to make calls - and the modest gains 3G has made do not begin to justify the massive costs of the technology, which has strapped some mobile operators financially, bankrupted entrepreneurs, spurred multibillion-euro lawsuits against governments and phone companies, and sapped research spending.
Over the long term, 3G runs the risk of becoming the Edsel of the mobile phone industry - an expensive, unwanted albatross rejected by consumers and bypassed by other, less costly technologies, some experts say. ....

Detector for locating hidden cell phones
As cell phones proliferate in jails around the world, enabling gangster to organize crimes on the outside from behind bars or have access to cash by selling minutes or actual handsets to other inmates. A company in Tenessee is selling a product to help detect where prisoners are stashing them in their cells - even when the phone is turned off.
"A private prison management company in the United States, The GEO Group Inc. is offering a new application of patented hightech equipment for detecting and locating hidden contraband cellular phones (even if the phone is not transmitting or even turned off).
The equipment, the ORION Non-Linear Junction Detector (NLJD) manufactured by REI in Algood Tennessee, responds to electronic components, allowing the user to detect and locate electronic items (such as hidden cellular phones), even if the electronic item is turned off or not transmitting. This technology offers a working solution for correctional facilities to manage contraband cellular phones".
Anti-Aids SMS Campaign suggests cellphones are the culprits
In one of the biggest demonstrations seen in Swaziland in years, HIV-positive people marched on the offices of the prime minister and the national AIDS council this week to protest an "insulting" new text messaging campaign, reports AllAfrica.
"The project by the National Emergency Response Council on HIV/AIDS seems to suggest that HIV is caused by sexual infidelity. It was launched last month without consulting people living with the virus.
"The campaign further stigmatises the HIV infected. It is an insult, we are angry. It is time we are involved in matters pertaining to us," said protest leader Vusi Matsebula, chairperson of the Swaziland National Network of People Living with HIV/AIDS. Around 1,000 people participated in the demonstration.
The media campaign, called "Makhwapheni", SiSwati slang for illicit lovers, has sent out tens of thousands of cellphone text messages mimicking secret lovers arranging a sexual rendezvous.
he marketing company behind the initiative was quoted in the local press as saying its critics failed to understand the campaign's creative rationale, and said cellphones were the primary means of communication for couples having affairs."

Phone Bikes in Kamapala
From future perfect via WMMNA.
A mobile and wireless phone kiosk in Kamapala draws its power from a car battery. Despite its bicyclesque design they were not particularly mobile - one or more tyres were often flat and they remained tethered in one place for the duration of the day.

Patent for Safe In Flight calling
ASiQ Pty Ltd has applied for a patent for a new concept that allows cell phones to be operated in-flight, without interfering with the aircraft's avionics and the ground networks and eliminates the problem of annoying voice calls. [Seattle Busienss Wire press release.
"The ASiQ unit is attached to the cell phone via a standard Bluetooth or cable connection. What makes the invention unique is that it is designed to work with all cell phone networks, GSM, CDMA, UMTS and EDGE.
The unit communicates via the existing certified aviation communications networks and reduces data delivery cost as it does not rely on the cellular roaming network for transmission. The unit will be inexpensive and is designed to comply with aviation standards. As the cell phone cannot transmit on its normal frequencies it also addresses the approval and safety concerns.
The benefit to the airline is their passengers will have cell phone access to a low cost data service, without the airline having to install and certify expensive and complicated Pico Cell equipment. For the cabin crew the concerns of privacy will also be addressed."

Stolen mobiles 'will be blocked"
Around 80% of mobile phones will be blocked on all five UK networks within 48 hours of being reported stolen in future , industry leaders have pledged, according to the BBC:

Nokia develops "self-destructing" phones
Nokia has created a prototype of a cell phone that dissembles itself in two seconds. [From TreeHugger via SciFi Tech Blog]
"Today, most cell phones and other small electronics are shredded instead of taken apart for recycling, because the disassembly time is too expensive for the amount of material reclaimed. In contrast, a process called "active disassembly" is all about creating gadgets that can break into their component parts just by being exposed to heat or magnetism. It saves money, and the materials can be recovered more efficiently.
Here is Nokia's outline of the disassembly processes they are working on":
Nokia Research Center, together with a student group from Helsinki University of Technology, the Finnish School of Watchmaking and the University of Art and Design Helsinki have developed a process for heat disassembly of portable devices.
The idea is to disassemble a mobile phone by a heat-activated mechanism without any contact. By using a centralized heat source like laser heating, the shape memory alloy (SMA) actuator is activated, and the mobile phone covers are opened.
The battery, display, printed wiring board (PWB) and mechanical parts are separated and can then be recycled in their material specific recycling processes. The required temperature for the disassembly is 60-150 ºC. If it were lower the phone could dismantle by itself, for instance in a hot car, and if it were higher the plastics would melt.
Laser heating is a feasible method due to its speed and precision. However, it requires investment in a proper disassembly line.
Pay Phones Suffer As Cell Phone Use Rises
With rising cell phone use and vandalism and neglect taking their toll, pay phones are disappearing around the nation, reports ABCNews.
"Consumer activists and advocates for the poor have protested the drop in numbers saying that public phones are necessary in emergencies and represent a lifeline for those who can't afford a cell phone or even a landline.
Nationwide, the number of pay phones estimated to have dropped by half to approximately 1 million over the last nine years.
"If a pay phone isn't covering its costs, we take it out," said Jim Smith, a spokesman for Verizon, which operates more pay phones in New York than any other company.
The drop in pay-phone numbers angers advocates, who are quick to point out that cell phones and sometimes any phones at all are prohibitively expensive for many people.
A full 7.1 percent of the nation's households had no phone of any kind in November 2005, up from 4.7 percent three years earlier, according to the Federal Communications Commission. For those people, and for the estimated 43 percent of U.S. residents with no cell phones (as of June 2004), pay phones are especially crucial, advocates say.
Pay phones also serve an important purpose during disastors. Many pay phones will keep working when most lines are down because of their direct wiring and the phone company's backup power stores."

Nokia starts tests of Wi-Fi Internet mobile calls
Fifty families in Oulu near the polar circle in northern Finland will test Wi-Fi Internet mobile calls over the next two months, Nokia said on Thursday, reports Reuters.
"Mobile subscribers with handsets enabled for so-called unlicensed mobile access, or UMA, can make calls over the Internet when they are in range of an unlicensed wireless network such as Bluetooth or Wi-Fi.
When they move out of range, the connection will automatically revert to a GSM, GPRS or UMTS mobile phone network."
China Text-Messages Millions on Typhoon

Citizen Journalism and InTheFieldOnline.net
Justin Oberman for mopocket reports on a project underway by Erik Sundelof, a fellows at Reuters Digital Vision Program at Stanford University.
As part of InTheFieldOnline.net, a project aiming to strengthen the citizen journalistic part of news media in troubled regions and empower people to tell their story, this new program tries to advance humanitarian goals in underserved communities.
"Erik has set up a Typepad blog that both sides can post to via their cell phones. And built an SMSBlog for MobileActive.org, the online community for mobile technology and social activism."
The point is to allow people 'in the field' to report news stories (or any other types of content for that matter) to the web using just a cell phone, but is developed in such a way as to be extremely extensible. As such one can basically push any piece of information - text, audio, graphic, picture, video from any cell phone to the web. It is the natural extension to citizen journalism as it creates the vehicle for people without internet to be able to get their voices heard on the internet.
Mobile phone market ringing up sales in China
China's mobile-phone market remained the largest in the world in the first half of 2006 and grew at the highest rate, reports the Asia Times.
"By the end of June, there were 70 enterprises authorized to produce mobile phones in China, as the market grew at a double-digit rate based on the volume of more than 80 million sets in 2005.
Sino Market Research found that domestic brands had a 32.7% share of China's mobile-handset market by the end of April. This figure dropped to 29.4% in May. Experts say that because of an onslaught of foreign producers, the market share of domestic brands has dropped to a record low, after exceeding 50% in 2004.
Nokia took a 30.3% share of China's mobile-handsets market in the first five months of 2006, exceeding the total made up by domestic brands. It was followed by Motorola, which took a 21.4% share. The two foreign mobile-handset giants took the first two places in the market."
Woman Testifies About Cell Phone in Throat
An odd news story which occured in Montana, reported by the AP via digg.
"Prosecutors say a man shoved a cell phone down his girlfriend's throat because he was angry and jealous. But defense attorneys insisted as a trial got underway that the woman swallowed the phone intentionally to keep the defendant from seeing whom she had been calling.
Cellular Carriers Work To Outdo Google, Yahoo
Interesting. From The Wall Street Journal. "U.S. cellphone companies are shying away from wireless search and ad deals with Internet giants such as Google and Yahoo in favor of partnerships with small start-ups they can more easily control.
... "By aligning themselves with start-up search companies, the carriers believe they will keep a greater share of the generated advertising revenue, say people familiar with the matter. The wireless companies also worry that their brands will be diluted if they gave a prominent marketing slot to a major Internet brand."
Israel steps up "psy-ops" in Lebanon
From mass targeting of mobile phones with voice and text messages to old-fashioned radio broadcasts warning of imminent attacks, Israel is deploying a range of old and new technologies in Lebanon as part of the psychological operations ("psyops") campaign supplementing its military attacks. The BBC reports.
... Israel has been targeting SMS text messages at local officials in southern Lebanon, urging them to move north of the Litani river before Israeli military operations intensified.
The UK's Guardian newspaper said mobile phone users in Lebanon were regularly receiving messages to their phones which purported to be news updates, attempting to discredit Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah or his party.

Syracuse, NY -- A pair of victories last week improved the Syracuse University men's lacrosse team's record to 6-0, its best start since it went 7-0 in 2000 before falling to Cornell, and kept it perched atop the Nike/Inside Lacrosse weekly poll and the USILA weekly coaches' poll released this morning. SU was a unanimous No. 1 pick in each poll.
Syracuse next plays at 7 p.m. Saturday at Villanova (7-1) in a Big East game. The Wildcats are No. 11 in the media poll and No. 7 in the coaches' poll this week.
Cornell (4-2), which defeated Yale 10-8 in its Ive League opener, is No. 7 in the media poll and No. 10 in the coaches' poll.

Sports Illustrated's Chris Mannix has the Celtics selecting Lousiville's Gorgui Dieng in his initial mock draft:
With or without the core of Kevin Garnett and Paul Pierce — two players who may not be in Boston when training camp opens — the Celtics need size. Dieng, 23, has a defensive reputation (he was the Big East Defensive Player of the Year last season after swatting 2.5 shots and pulling down 9.4 rebounds per game), but his offensive game is better than most think. Dieng is a strong passer with a decent mid-range jump shot. Scouts also say he is one of the best screen men in the draft.
With all due respect to Shavlik Randolph, DJ White, Chris Wilcox and Fab Melo, I endorse the selection of Dieng. He's long, athletic and possesses a motor on the boards.
It doesn't matter that Dieng is one of the best screen men in the draft, once a big man puts on the Celtics uniform he becomes a target for cheap illegal screen calls.
Media mock drafts have the Celtics selecting Dennis Schroeder (PG), Kelly Olynyk (C) and Michael Carter-Williams (PG).

San Juan Island man receives six months for heroin possession
A San Juan Island man with a history of drug-related crimes will be allowed to work off part of the penalties for his most recent conviction, and then serve the rest of a six-month jail term at home. On Nov. 18, Timothy Wayne Stephens, 46, pleaded guilty in San Juan County Superior Court to one count of possession of a controlled substance — heroin, a Class C felony.
Under the sentence handed down Dec. 9 by Judge Don Eaton, Stephens was ordered to serve six months and one day in jail, three months of which he will be allowed to serve on the Sheriff's Department work crew. He will be allowed to serve the remainder of that jail term, three months and one day, at home, under electronic surveillance.
He was also ordered to pay $1,250 in fines and fees. According to court documents, Stephens was found sleeping inside his car in the parking lot of Inter Island Medical Center in mid-afternoon of March 12. He reportedly had small amounts of heroin, marijuana, prescription medication, as well as drug paraphernalia, in his possession at that time. He was also wanted on an arrest warrant at that time for failure to comply with court orders on a prior drug-related felony conviction.
In 2005, Stephens pleaded guilty to two counts of selling methamphetamine, a Class B felony, and was sentenced to 30 months in prison. Following his arrest in March, Stephens initially was charged with possession of marijuana, a misdemeanor and possession of heroin.
The misdemeanor charge was dismissed after he pleaded guilty to the felony drug offense. A Class C felony, possession of heroin carries maximum penalties of 10 years in prison, a $20,000 fine, or both; however, the standard range of sentencing set by the state is, given Stephens prior convictions, 6-18 months in jail.

Ok. I'm in Windsor, Ont.
My friend is a store manager at Best Buy. He doubts they will see any wii's here before the new year at this point; same with Future Shop. EB Games has been the absolute worst source of anything in this city lately, and we have 2 locations. I doubt they will EVER see a wii again LOL.
I lucked out and got mine at Walmart just checking out by chance. I was at Zellers though yesterday, and the lady whispered over to a customer that they were almost guaranteed 6 on Wednesday morning.
My advice would be to keep on the department stores, because the obvious places are having the hardest times. Good luck!
"Ball in a Cup!"
Please PM me if you add me to your wii address book, thanks!

In August there were conflicting and worrying reports that former world chess champion Boris Spassky had either fled, or been taken against his will, from his home in Paris back to Russia.
Spassky had lived in France with his third wife since 1976, and had been receiving treatment for a second stroke which he suffered in 2010.
Now some more information about the fate of Boris Vasilievich has emerged after the great champion spoke about his recent experiences in an interview with WhyChess..
Photos and video: Irina Stepaniuk via WhyChess.
I think he's the most underrated Champion ever. I've seen, in some books for chess, some endgames of him, and I was very impressed. I like him, and I like his personality.
So Boris, the old lion, fights on. First, profuse thanks to those who provided this filmed interview for us; it's great to have news of him. May he recover as much health and happiness as he can. As a contemporary of Boris's I can vouch for the fact that the years of old age (or incipient old age) are very often leaden, not golden, and Boris's fear of the double whammy of poverty and ill health is understandable. I hope he finishes his book, and that, more than merely collecting his games, it contains much of his personal feeling and opinions. May God bless and keep him.
I see a great man with deep personal problems and one who is trying to overcome them.
I wish you the Best, Boris Spassky and hope you will find a happier life in Russia. What you need now is more kind words from people.
Ah Spassky. Large Champion and certainly the Best with a long time.... Great players, Thanks SonofPearl.
I hear the life story of a highly intelligent man, one who is capable to make winning decisions in chess, but at the same time who is puzzled with complex human relationships of his family members and relatives. It's sad that a king in chess is not a king in his family. His speech is direct and honest. I wish him health and positive energy to appreciate the new change of life - living in his homeland.
A proud but sad man. Thanks for posting SonofPearl!
it's a sad thing to see a once strong man surrender to his fate, throwing off his crown on the board - a king disappears from the scene, another rises
Long castling ...The King is back home
Those teachers, police, atheletes, or whatever usually get life insurance and health insurance. It'd be very hard for FIDE to even attempt something like that since they cover so many countries and would have to deal with the laws within each country. It'd be better if the chess organizations within a country would offer such for professional chess players. Actaully, As far as I know, life insurance is private and not provided by places of work. I think the exception is for military.
Mozart actually made decent money but wasted it. He might have saved some for his family and his funeral if he expected to die at 35.
Mr Boris Vasilievich Spassky is born January 30, 1937, and really a great man !
Thumbs up Boris!
Good spirit! If he can get over the hurts and frustrations, he can heal. Kidney troubles are almost always associated with long-standing hurts that one hasn't released from their mind. He seems on his way to forgiveness, though loneliness appears to trouble him, as he repeatedly stated that he's starting from square 0 (and he feels that to be unfair in some ways).
I wish him, and all the chess world, the best of health and life!
Mr.Spassky is one for the ages despite wherever he winds up on the pages of
chess history. A chess gentleman's gentlement. I wish him well.
Peak Average Ratings: 20 year peak range
SOURCE: http://www.chessmetrics.com
Boris certenly has a place in history of the Hearth in chess game.
@ Nimzo Roy ... Right On! PCA would have been perhaps one way of making this happen. Spassky will always be admired by everyone as one of the true heros of the game! We should appreciate him!
Is FIDE responsible for for taking care of the health and fortunes of former grandmasters? ClavierClavier
Obviously not, since they're apparently just throw away garbage - just like Mozart for instance, who received a pauper's funeral that one book described as "one of the major travesties of Western civilization"
It's funny that public employees such as cops, firemen and teachers all have unions to look out for their interests (health insurance, pensions, etc) and so do many professional athletes (at least in the USA) but GMs and IMs have nothing.
Spassky is the most noble and humble chess player with the the best sportsmanship in history. He could have walked away with the 1972 World Championship, by default, but decided to comply with Fischer's demands, despite that they were not in his favor. I have a profound respect for him more than any other chess player. It is so sad yet typical to see World Champions live in destitute in their later years.
I got him to sign my copy of Spassky's 100 Best Games by Cafferty when he was giving a simul in Tom's River, NJ in the 1980's. He started a lot of games with the King's Gambit. I also saw him give a lecture at the NJ Open a few years later. Nice guy, great player. Previous reports kept using the phrase "grave condition". Wasn't sure we'd ever hear from him again. Glad he is doing better now.

shoot the basketball well out of the gate. ¶
ù Problems arise, though, when
hot hands go cold and the Holy
Name girls ran into a huge prob´
lem during Tuesday's 66-55 loss
to Stow at the two-day Fight Or
Flight Invitational, hosted by
Twinsburg. ¶
ù "We lost intensity in that sec´
ond quarter and we missed a lot
of easy layups, but we have to
knock down those shots," said
Holy Name coach Kim Jones after watching her team go up, 12-0, only to then fall behind at halftime, 39-27. ¶
ù The Green Wave (4-4) bolted
out to a 23-12 lead after making 11 of its first 19 shots, but
Holy Name then went ice cold, missing 17 of 18 shots in the second quarter.. ¶
ù A lot of that had to do with
Stow coach Bob Podges,
who pulled his starters four min´
utes into the game and kept
them out a full quarter. ¶
ù "We didn't start out well so I
wasn't surprised we were taken
out," said four-year starter/
Eastern Michigan softball recruit
Alex Shaver. "The players who
came in did a nice job." ¶
ù Senior Emma Kosmach, jun´
iors Heather Graehling, Abbie
Lawson, Allyson Iwanski, sopho´
more Madison Baer and fresh´
man Christina Vaughan
combined for 21 points for Stow (6-2) while the
starters watched. ¶
The long breather seemed to
fire up Shaver, who responded
with a team-high 18 points. Sa´mantha Shaver, Lexi Stefanov
and Graehling chipped in eight
points apiece for the Bulldogs,
ranked 11th in The Plain Dealer
Top 25 poll. Holy Name senior
forward/Mercyhurst recruit Tay´lor Krusinski finished with 27
points, eight rebounds, two as´
sists, two steals and a block. ¶
ù "Outside of [Twinsburg's] Ma´lina [Howard], that's the best
post player we've seen," said
Alex Shaver. ¶
In other games in the tourna´
ment: ¶
Midpark 61, Toledo Notre
Dame Academy 55: The second-ranked Meteors (6-1) had
sophomore Stasha Carey, senior
Brittany Smith and Nebraska re´
cruit Rachel Theriot score 14, 12
and 11 points, respectively, in
the win. They also held a 38-27
edge in rebounds, paced by
Carey's 13 boards and seven by
Theriot, who chipped in five as´
sists, three steals and four
blocks. ¶
Malcolm X Shabazz (N.J.) 53,
Hathaway Brown 45: The Bulldogs (4-0), ranked No. 8 in USA
Today, outscored the defending
Division II state champions,
34-24, in the second half for the
win. The Blazers (4-3), ranked
14th in the area, had Nia Mar´
shall score a team-high 18 points
while Shabazz's Aliyyah Hand´
ford scored a game-best 20
points. ¶
Toledo Rogers 68, Lake Ridge
Academy 45: The 16th-ranked
Lions (2-3) couldn't overcome a
31-18 halftime deficit, despite
the 11-point effort of Monet
Saunders and 10-point perform´
ance from Detroit Mercy recruit
DaVonna Bradford. ¶
Medina 46, Cloverleaf 32: A
7-0 run in the second quarter put
the 22nd-ranked Battling Bees
(7-1) ahead after trailing, 8-5, in
the first quarter. It was the sev´
enth straight win for the Bees,
who got 10 points and seven re´bounds from junior Sarah Kinch.
Seniors Haley Ploucha and Katie
Simpson scored 10 points each
for Cloverleaf (4-7). ¶
Warren Howland 51, Mentor
37: The Cardinals (3-4) dug
themselves too big of a first-
quarter hole by falling behind,
15-5. Junior Lauren Stefancin
had 11 points for Mentor. ¶
Youngstown Ursuline 48,
Cleveland Central Catholic 23: Ursuline (6-1) sprinted to a 16-6
first-quarter lead against the inexperi´
enced Ironmen (4-5). Terris
Mitchell's eight points led the
2007 Division III state champ
Central. ¶
ù Action in the tournament continues Wednesday. ¶

Perhaps you saw the article in last Thursday's Oregonian about the "killer foam" affecting sea birds along Oregon's coast.
A good friend of mine, who is a member of the technical animal rescue team, assisted with the transport of some of these birds from the Oregon Coast to a rehabilitation center. Often times the rescue team will be called on to help animals affected by some natural disaster – as this was – or even to assist non-companion animals.
I thought you might find this behind the scenes account from Roberta interesting:
My job was to be the driver of this huge U-Haul. A 24-footer, the biggest thing I think they rent. We packed up 15 crates of Murres, about 12 to a crate, but it felt like we had more Grebes because they went one to a crate. One of the care center volunteers said they filled the huge sink with Grebes and started rinsing them with water. There were so many grebes you couldn't see the water or the bottom of the sink, but when you pushed them aside, the water was all dark green with the algae. I was extra cautious coming back with the birds in the back.
Duane Titus, one of the folks from California with International Bird Rescue Research Center, drove 150 birds from here back to Monterey last week. They are rehabbing well. Here's a link.
This time, however, he and the birds went back in style thanks to the Coast Guard. They were really nice people, all of the ones I talked to from the guard at the gate to the guys in the office to the crew on the plane. It was just 2 hours to Monterey from Warrington Airport. There were a total of 4 pallets of birds, each well secured Duane said they (the humans) were well fed on the plane. I kept wondering what movie they would show for the birds: Winged Migration perhaps?
The big impressions I had of today were how fast we loaded the empty crates from the cargo plane onto the big U-Haul, and how really fast we unloaded the empties and re-loaded the full crates back at the care center. I parked the truck at 12:30 pm, and we were done loading 310 birds at 1:45 pm. There wasn't any time to chat; everyone was quite focused. We were all extremely polite yet simply efficient in getting the job done. Media were everywhere, too. As was the rain. Duane said afterwards that this is certainly the most birds he has loaded in such a short time. I was also very impressed with how well the birds were doing at the time we loaded them up. Most of these had been captured within the last 48 hours.
Finally the dedication and effort from the volunteers at the care center, as well as the dedication of the IBRRC people was outstanding. I felt I had a tiny role in the activities today. It still felt good and worth the day's effort.

A Comprehensive Analysis of Strategies to Mitigate Corrosion in the Oil & Gas Industry
Oil and gas owners and petrochemical operators need to continually manage their facilities risk and optimise the value of their assets throughout its entire life cycle. Production facilities, both land based and offshore are multi-million dollar investments. Recent spillages including that of the Gulf of Mexico disaster sent shock waves reverberating throughout the industry and made the operators revisit their asset management strategies. Corrosion is the prime culprit in degrading the integrity of these assets. Corrosion impacts the entire industry, be it upstream, midstream or downstream.
Energy IQ is pleased to announce the inaugural edition of Corrosion Management Summit Asia 2012, a conference that looks exclusively into the latest advancements and technologies to mitigate corrosion in the entire oil and gas industry, be it upstream or downstream.
For more information, contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or at +65 6722 9388.
Complimentary for a limited time only! Articles related to corrosion management available for download at http://bit.ly/yc2j1x.

While the dispute still appears to be a long way from reaching a resolution, a judge dismissed two out of four counts of the complaint brought by Tri-County as matters for the state Commission On Affordable Housing (COAH), and allowed the other two counts to move forward in court, attorneys in the case said.
The lawsuit centers around an 88-unit affordable housing complex that was proposed by Tri-County to be built in the township on the corner of 7th and Leap avenues. Tri-County was removed from the project after a 90 day deadline for site plan approval passed, and maintains that the township made it impossible for the project to move forward by not agreeing to a Payment in Lieu of Taxes agreement (PILOT).
Officials for the township have said that they acted in good faith throughout the project, and that the deal fell through at the fault of the developer.
On Friday a judge dismissed two counts of the lawsuit which sought builder's remedy relief — which, if won, would have had the township allow Tri-County to move forward with the project — as matters for COAH to determine.
A third count, in which Tri-County is seeking financial relief in excess of $1.5 million for money lost on the project, will continue to be argued in court.
A recently added fourth count will also continue in court. The count states that the developer's civil rights were violated and requests financial relief for the project along with attorney and legal fees.
Following Friday's outcome, parties on both side of the lawsuit claimed victory for the day.
In a press release from the office of Jeffrey Surenian, an attorney representing Carneys Point in the lawsuit, the township's position on the court's findings were summarized:
"Friday marked a victory for the citizens of Carneys Point. Plaintiff, Tri-County Real Estate, has attempted to bully the township into capitulating to its demands by filing a lawsuit and by using the litigation process to use its deep financial pockets to spend the township into submission," the release states. "The township stood up to the bully and the court appropriately saw the correctness of the township's position."
In a phone interview Monday, Surenian added, "Two counts got dismissed and count three has a date with the executioner... As for the fourth count, we think that claim lacks merit as well, which will become apparent as we move forward."
However, according to Bibeau and his attorney, David Avedissian, the developer's side got exactly what they wanted.
Avedissian said that the two dismissed counts are not really gone. The counts have been transferred to COAH, but with COAH currently frozen and undergoing a re-structuring under Gov. Chris Christie, the judge set a timeline of roughly four months for COAH to make a decision, he said.
"The court is requiring us to explore a resolution through COAH, but it won't necessarily remain there," he said. "If nothing happens with COAH by Nov. 1, we can move to have the court re-opened the case in full."
Avedissian added that COAH hasn't made any decisions in about 9 months, and that he doesn't anticipate anything happening by Nov. 1.
"Those (dismissed) counts are not going away by any extent," he said.
Bibeau added that Friday's decisions were an "absolute victory" for his case, with two counts still alive in court and the other two under a strict deadline with COAH.
"What we wanted out of the whole thing was for the time clock to start," said Bibeau. "This was an absolute victory."
He added that he thought it was irresponsible of the township to delay the project, using taxpayer funds to fight the lawsuit.
"I am committed to this project and to the veterans and special needs residents of Salem County," said Bibeau. "The town is going to use a lot of taxpayer money and a couple years to fight this, and in the end they're going to have to build the project anyway."
The court also ruled to allow the developer's side to move forward with depositions of township officials, attorneys on both side said.
Avedissian said depositions will take place in the next 30 to 45 days, and the developer will file with COAH to de-certify Carneys Point for allegedly failing to meet its affordable housing obligations.
The lawsuit has been assigned to Judge Anne McDonnell in Superior Court, Civil Division, in Woodbury though no future court date has been set as of yet.

BOISE, Idaho — After a nationwide frenzy for a life-changing chance to win a $380 million Mega Millions jackpot, the two winning tickets were sold in small Pacific Northwest towns just 125 miles apart.
Idaho Lottery officials said today that one winner is from the northern Idaho town of Post Falls. That's just across the border from Washington state, where the other winning ticket was sold at a Safeway supermarket in the town of Ephrata.
There's an Ephrata in Lancaster County, Pa., too, but the lottery players there weren't as lucky.
The winners have not yet stepped forward, and Idaho officials declined to identify the store where that state's winning ticket was sold.
Because of feverish sales right up to Tuesday night's drawing, the winners will share a $380 million jackpot, an increase over the previous $355 million estimate, said Scott Kinney, Washington's Lottery spokesman.
The two winning tickets are each worth $190 million paid in 26 annual installments. Each lucky winner also has the option of taking an $81 million lump sum payment, Idaho Lottery Commission spokesman David Workman said.
The Jackpot winners had to match five regular numbers plus the "Mega ball." The winning numbers were 4, 8, 15, 25 and 47, with the Mega ball number of 42.
Another 67 people in 22 states each won $250,000 by matching five numbers without the Mega ball. More than 5.5 million others won prizes ranging from $10,000 to $2.

Phelps the subject of the next 'The Haney Project' on Golf Channel
Now we know what Michael Phelps will be doing at the start of his post-swimming career.
The Golf Channel announced Saturday that Phelps, who has the Olympic record for most medals won with 22, will be the subject of the next "The Haney Project."
TGC's Hank Haney, the former swing coach of Tiger Woods, will help Phelps improve his game from tee-to-green.
"I have traveled the world through swimming, but really haven't had an opportunity to experience the world through my travels," Phelps said in a statement. "As I enter this next chapter of my life, I think I will be able to shift my competitiveness to anything I put my mind to, and golf is one of the things I want to focus on. If I have a goal of dropping a certain amount of shots, or working on my short game or putting, those things are going to keep me motivated and fire me up and keep me excited. I want to play all the world's great golf courses, but I'd like to play them well. I'm excited about this project with Golf Channel and I'm looking forward to working with Hank and see what we can do together on the golf course."
The show will begin taping in September.

MINNEAPOLIS - Led by 30 points from forward Michael Beasley and an 18th straight point-rebound double-double from forward Kevin Love, the Minnesota Timberwolves beat the New Orleans Hornets 113-98 Monday night at the Target Center.
It was the seventh straight road loss for the Hornets.
David West led New Orleans with 23 points while Chris Paul had 22 points and 13 assists.
All five Minnesota starters were in double figures. Wesley Johnson had 24 on 6 of 8 3-point shooting.
Love had 16 points and 11 rebounds for the T-Wolves.
Third quarter
The Minnesota Timberwolves hit four straight 3-point baskets in an 18-6 run and lead the New Orleans Hornets 82-77 through three.
Wesley Johnson had 12 points in the quarter for the T-Wolves, all 3-pointers.
Chris Paul has 20 points and 11 assists for the Hornets.
Second quarter
The New Orleans Hornets hold a slim 57-54 lead over the Minnesota Timberwolves at halftime having seen a 10-point lead evaporate.
Chris Paul leads all scorers with 16 points. He also has seven rebounds.
Darko Milicic leads the Timberwolves with 12, but he didn't score in the second quarter. Neither did Hornets forward David West, who still has 11 points.
The Hornets are shooting 47 percent from the field, and hold a 20-15 rebounding edge. Minnesota is shooting 54 percent from outside.
First quarter
Despite a surprising 10 first-quarter points from Minnesota center Darko Milicic, the New Orleans Hornets lead the Timberwolves 35-27 after one quarter.
Milicic is 5 of 6 from the field.
David West leads the Hornets with 11 points on 5 of 8 shooting. New Orleans is shooting 60 percent from the field, 15 of 25, while the T-Wolves have hit 55 percent of their shots.
The Hornets hold a 10-6 rebounding edge on Minnesota, the leading rebounding team in the league.
The New Orleans Hornets enter tonight's game here in Target Center against the Minnesota Timberwolves on a six-game road losing streak.
But statistically, it's a good place for the Hornets to be playing.
New Orleans has won the last six games in the series, 13 of the last 16 and seven of the last eight games here on the T-Wolves' home floor.
Both teams are in the second of a back-to-back, and both are coming off wins Sunday night, the Hornets at home against the Atlanta Hawks and the Timberwolves on the road against the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Timberwolves forward Kevin Loves leads the NBA in rebounding, averaging 15.7 per game and Minnesota is the league's top rebounding team, putting down 45.36 per game.
The Hornets, on the other hand, have outrebounded their last seven opponents.

Boggs named to Team USA's WBC roster
Jenifer Langosch/MLB.com
Team USA, one of 16 teams poised to compete in the World Baseball Classic tournament in March, has selected Cardinals right-hander Mitchell Boggs to be a piece of its 14-member pitching staff.
Boggs, 28, was the only member of the Cardinals' organization selected to play for the US team, which unveiled its provisional roster on Thursday morning. This will be Boggs' first time representing his country in international play.
Boggs led the Cardinals with 78 appearances in 2012 and finished with a league-best 34 Holds. He made most of his appearances as the team's eighth-inning set-up man.
As a Classic participant this spring, Boggs will leave the Cardinals' Spring Training facility in Jupiter, Fla., and join his fellow US teammates in Phoenix, Ariz., before the opening round of Classic play. Team USA is in a bracket with Canada, Mexico and Italy. The entire tournament runs from March 2 to March 19.
Boggs will return to Cardinals camp at the conclusion of the three-week event or when Team USA is eliminated, whichever comes first.
Roster for the 15 other teams participating in the international competition will be announced at 3 p.m. CT on an MLB Network show that will also stream live on MLB.com. The Cardinals are expected to be well represented on these world rosters.
Last month, Yadier Molina and Carlos Beltran confirmed their participation with Team Puerto Rico. Starter Jaime Garcia had also committed to play for Team Mexico, those his availability will depend upon the status of his left shoulder.

Patent application title: TRUE THREE DIMENSIONAL IMAGERY AND USE THEREOF

A method for producing true three dimension imagery includes positioning
an object to be imaged and directing imaging laser beams to impinge upon
the object. Splitting the imaging laser beams after the imaging laser
beams have impinged upon the object is then accomplished, while
redirecting the split imaging beams to a recording substrate.
1. A method for producing true three dimension imagery,
comprising:positioning an object to be imaged;directing imaging laser
beams to impinge upon said object; andsplitting said imaging laser beams
after said imaging laser beams have impinged upon said object;
andredirecting said split imaging beams to a recording substrate.
[0001]This invention relates in general to a method and apparatus for true three dimensional imagery, and deals more particularly with a method and apparatus for true three dimensional imagery that utilizes the actual object that is to be imaged when forming the three dimensional image.
[0002]Pseudo three dimensional imaging has been employed for some time in order to provide fanciful or ornamental images on various substrates.
[0003]In particular, a process of dot-matrix holography has generally been employed to create pseudo three dimensional images. This process does not utilize the actual object to be imaged itself, but instead relies upon a piece-wise formation of the image, whereby each `dot` is created individually by causing two laser beams to interfere with each other to generate interference fringes which are recorded. Typically, this is achieved by causing the two beams to impinge on respective portions of a focusing lens which then focuses the beams towards each other into a focusing region where the record medium is located.
[0004]While such known processes provide a reasonable ornamental result for many applications, the visual depth of the resultant images are only marginal.
[0005]In recent years, it has been observed that the sales of instant scratch-off lottery tickets have been positively impacted by the printing of these tickets on specialty substrates that provide enhanced visibility (ie. dot-matrix holographic board). Due to its highly reflective nature, constantly changing' colors, along with the virtual appearance of movement, instant games printed on dot-matrix holographic board have been found to significantly increase the sales of the resultant scratch-off games versus games printed on conventional plain board.
[0006]These sales increases have been attributed to the enhanced visibility and heightened interest of the instant games using the dot-matrix holographic board, which has allowed these games to break out of the "clutter" of the retail environment and capture consumers' attention.
[0007]Although "dot-matrix" holography provides a reasonable ornamental result, the visual depth, and realism of the imagery is only marginal.
[0008]With the forgoing problems and concerns in mind, it is the general object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for true three dimensional imaging that substantially increases the visual depth of the image, while also increasing the security of the image itself.
[0009]It is an object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for
[0010]true three dimensional imagery.
[0011]It is another object of the present invention to propose a method and apparatus for enhancing the sales of instant "scratch-off lottery tickets using true three dimensional holographic images.
[0012]These true 3D images can be created using actual sized holographic imagery of physical objects (e.g., coins, dice, poker chips) and be reproduced to provide the background material used in the process of overprinting instant "scratch-off" lottery tickets.
[0013]FIG. 1 illustrates an improved true three dimensional image, the image acting as the base for a lottery ticket, in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention.
[0014]The method of the present invention involves utilizing the actual object to be imaged. In doing so, lasers are directed at, and impinge upon, the actual object and are subsequently split and directed to an image recording substrate.
[0015]With this method, an image may be created that has the exact size and shape as does the original object itself. The image also has a greater visual depth than known dot-matrix imagery.
[0016]In addition to the greater depth of the visual field, the true three dimensional imagery method of the present invention increases the security of the image recording substrate. That is, images resulting from the method of the present invention cannot be precisely replicated with commercially available photo copiers.
[0017]Still further, the greater visual depth of the resultant image makes for a far more appealing and enticing image as a whole, Indeed, as illustrated in the poker chip imagery of FIG. 1, one preferred use for the true three dimensional imagery of the present invention is as the backing for lottery tickets, scratch-off tickets and the like. As will be appreciated, the buying of lottery and scratch-off tickets is often impulse-based, and thus the ornamental aspect of the tickets themselves is a significant consideration.
[0018]Known pseudo three dimensional imagery on lottery tickets merely employ cold foil stamped images, which cannot compete with the visual depth of field or increased security capabilities of the method of the present invention.
[0019]While the invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiments, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various obvious changes may be made, and equivalents may be substituted for elements thereof, without departing from the essential scope of the present invention. Therefore, it is intended that the invention not be limited to the particular embodiments disclosed, but that the invention includes all equivalent embodiments.
