THIBODAUX — Three local men who spent months in jail on attempted-murder charges that prosecutors eventually dropped have filed lawsuits claiming they should have never been arrested.
THIBODAUX — Three local men who spent months in jail on attempted-murder charges that prosecutors eventually dropped have filed lawsuits claiming they should have never been arrested.
Among the people and agencies named as defendants are the city of Thibodaux, its Police Department and the Lafourche Sheriff's Office.
Jason Alexander and Charles and Kendall Mathews, all of Thibodaux, were accused of a July 2007 shooting on Lagarde Street that paralyzed 35-year-old Leon Clemons. After spending nearly 10 months in jail, all were released after prosecutors said they did not have the evidence or witnesses to move the case forward.
Tuesday night, the Thibodaux City Council hired attorney David Ardoin to represent the city in the matter. Ardoin replaces Thibodaux attorney Lloyd Bourgeois.
The three men claim in their lawsuit, filed in district court in Thibodaux, that they lost wages, relationships and had their reputations tarnished, among a long list of items, based on their false arrests and imprisonment. The lawsuit does not mention the amount of money the men are seeking, and there is no upcoming court date listed in court records.
"Since their release from jail, the plaintiffs have been unable to obtain employment and continue to suffer humiliation and harassment due to their notorious status in the community," wrote Terry Bonnie, an attorney from Baton Rouge representing the three men, in his initial filing of the lawsuit.
Ardoin would not speak about the case Tuesday afternoon, explaining that he had not officially been hired to handle the case.
Bonnie did not return phone calls to his Baton Rouge office Tuesday afternoon.
Jason Alexander, 30, refused comment on the case on his attorney's advice. Attempts to reach Charles Mathews, 31, were unsuccessful. Kendall Mathews, 26, is jailed on a drug-possession charge in Texas. He also faces an armed-robbery charge in Lafourche. Kendall and Charles Mathews are brothers.
The suit lists Thibodaux Mayor Charles Caillouet, Police Chief Craig Melancon and Sheriff Craig Webre as defendants. It also lists 13 Thibodaux Police officers who participated in the investigation.
Bonnie alleges detectives working the case failed to properly investigate inconsistencies in witness statements and brushed off Alexander's statements about the shooter's identity.
Chris Smith, an eyewitness, told police the three men got out of Alexander's car and began shooting, Bourgeois said in court documents. Police also recovered 10 shell casings from the scene.
"The decision to 'drop the charges' has no correlation to the lawful actions of the Thibodaux City Police in their investigation and ultimate arrest of the plaintiffs," Bourgeois wrote.
Police Chief Melancon said he believes his officers had "sufficient cause" to make an arrest but refused to discuss the case in detail.
The three men are also suing Webre for overcrowded and substandard conditions they say they encountered in the Lafourche jail.
Officials, including Webre, have long acknowledged jail overcrowding and poor conditions and are working on ways to pay for construction of a new one.

A pretty simple cake made to match the nursery decor. Fondant covered, with fondant decorations, except the topper is made from polymer clay so the mother could keep it as a room decoration.

Poised Effort Carries Wolverines Past Wittenberg
Ann Arbor – On a cold Friday night (February 4) in Ann Arbor, the University of Michigan's men's lacrosse team defeated the Tigers of Wittenberg University at Oosterbaan Fieldhouse by a score of 13-9 in Michigan's second scrimmage of the season. The game started close until the Wolverines took the lead and control going into the second half. Michigan was slow to start in the third but quickly regained focus to hold the lead down the stretch.
Wittenburg opened the scoring within the first ten seconds of the game following the initial faceoff. Each team had possessions on offense before senior attackman Trevor Yealy (Pittsburgh, PA – Upper St. Clair) answered with a pair of goals both from just outside the crease. The Wolverines offense continued to claw at the Tigers' defense as Yealy scored his third followed by another Michigan tally by sophomore attackman Ryan Dutton-O'Hara (Mount Airy, MD – Urbana – St. John's) for his first of the game. The home team would end the quarter with a 4-1 lead as Dutton-O'Hara was denied a second goal as time expired.
The Tigers were able to find the back of the net early in the second quarter to drawing them within two. After successfully killing off a penalty shortly after, Michigan went on to gain a man up opportunity of their own which was converted by senior attackman Chad Carroll (Cincinnati, OH – St. Xavier High) just as the extra-man chance expired. The Maize and Blue went on to score two more with goals from freshman attackman Ryan Snyder (Houston, TX – Episcopal) and senior midfielder Roy Ichikawa (San Diego, CA – Torrey Pines) from just outside the crease. Wittenberg was able to counter however with three unanswered goals and trailed 7-5 to close out the first half.
Michigan started off the third quarter slowly, losing ground balls and small battles in transition play, but it was the Wolverines' defense that held strong to maintain the lead. Eventually U-M got moving in the offensive zone and Carroll was able to capitalize on a fast break over 10 minutes into the quarter. Michigan increased their lead to three on a goal from senior midfielder Stephen Levitt (Alpine, NJ – Dwight Englewood) with the assist from junior midfielder Alex Vasileff (Birmingham, MI – Seaholm) on a successful Wolverine clear. WU finally answered with a goal of their own only to be washed out by a strike from sophomore midfielder Willie Steenland (Minneapolis, MN – The Blake School) on an assist from Carroll putting Michigan ahead 10-6 headed into the fourth quarter.
Freshman attackman Jeff Chu (Berwyn, PA – Conestoga) made his way onto the score sheet with a solid effort on a low wing drive to the net less than two minutes into the fourth quarter. Less than thirty seconds later, the Tigers answered with a goal coming from the low wing just outside the crease. Four minutes later, Vasileff found the back of the net from an unassisted shot on the mid wing for his second of the game. Wittenberg added two more goals to complete their scoring for the final quarter and the game. Closing Michigan's scoring was sophomore attackman Matt Joseph (Westlake, OH – St. Ignatius) on a hard-shot from the left wing following a crisp pass from freshman midfielder Jeff Janer (Novi, MI – Detroit Catholic Central) as U-M went on the 13-9 scrimmage win.
The Wolverines will return to the field next weekend when they host DIII Kenyon at Oosterbaan Fieldhouse on Saturday, February 12 at 7:00pm EST. For all of your Michigan men's lacrosse needs, please visit mgobluelacrosse.com.
● Yealy netted a hat trick and was 100% shooting, scoring the three goals on three shots.
● Carroll (2-1-3), Vasileff (2-1-3) and Yealy (3-0-3) were tied as the team's leading point holders for the game.
● Senior long-stick midfielder Matt Asperheim (Grand Rapids, MI – East Grand Rapids) led the team with five groundballs.
● Senior goaltenders Mark Stone (Greenwood Village, CO – Cherry Creek) and Andrew Fowler (Grosse Pointe, MI – Hotchkiss, CT) split the time in net. Stone saved 4 of 11 in the first half while Fowler stopped 6 of 14 in the second.
● With the win, Michigan improves their preseason record to 1-1 going into their final scrimmage.
● The Wolverines won less than 50% of faceoffs in the first half but rallied to win the faceoff category in the second half. Senior Brian Greiner (Grosse Pointe, Mich./Grosse Pointe South / RPI) finished 4 for 12 on the night, while junior Edward Ernst (Washington D.C. – Sidwell Friends) was 4 of 9. Sophomore Harrison Silver (South Salem, NY – John Jay) won 5 of 8.
Head Coach John Paul
On his general impressions: "We did some things better that we needed to. We played some better defense, but we still need to get better there, and get healthy there. We did a much better job on the ride today and fixed some issues there. These scrimmages still show us what we need to work on, and there is a lot."
On the attack: "We got some guys in earlier tonight compared to last week. We got Chu and Snyder in there because they've earned it and we want to give those guys as many opportunities as possible. We're just so deep at attack right now though. Overall I'm happy with where we're at right now offensively but we still have a lot to work in. We're working some new systems in right now that are fairly new conceptually and are unlike anything they've done prior in high-school or here. It'll take us a little to time for them to get comfortable in it and for us to figure out what works and what doesn't."
On the upcoming week: "We've got one more scrimmage and that's incredibly important for us. It's one more week to really just focus on getting better with a game at the end that doesn't count. We'll take a look at the film on Sunday after the lift and we'll look to fix all of the little things from tonight."
Senior attackman Trevor Yealy
His take on the offense: "I think at times we looked good but at times we sluggish. A lot of the younger guys played real well. Paras is always solid and Carroll played well. So overall I think we were pretty good, but there is definitely a lot to work on, especially in our new sets."
On what he's looking to focus on as his senior year begins: "I'm just looking to get a little more consistent and expand my game a little more. I've had some luck right around the crease, but I'd like to work on finding some more ways to score. I guess just being a bit more versatile."

The funeral service for Edith Bartels, 83, will be 3 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 14 at the United Methodist Church in Gettysburg, SD with the Rev. Jeff Adel officiating. Burial will follow at the Gettysburg Cemetery. A Prayer Service will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 13 also at the Methodist Church with visitation one hour prior to the service. She died peacefully Friday, Dec. 6, 2013 at the Aberdeen Health and Rehabilitation Center.
Edith Irene Kearns was born July 13, 1929 to Owen and Jeannie (Sutton) Kearns. She grew up in rural western Potter County, attended rural grade school and graduated from Gettysburg High School in 1947. She married Louie Bartels on Nov. 27, 1949. Four children were born to this union. They lived 62 years on their farm west of Gettysburg; the last 2 years they have resided in Aberdeen.
Edith will long be remembered as a loving wife, mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. She was deeply involved with 4-H; her family and friends laugh that she taught half of Potter County how to sew – not just the daughters in 4-H, but their mothers too. A superb cook, Edith cooked meals for her family and farm-help yearlong and for as many as 15-20 at harvest time in addition to the many banquets for numerous groups especially FFA and FHA (FCCLA) Awards. Being an Extension Club member fueled her love for teaching youth and being active in her community. She was honored to receive the SD Eminent Homemaker Award in 1999.
Edith was a founding member of the Medicine Rock Cowbelles, served on the SD Beef Council; the Cowbelles later became the American National Cattle Women. She loved being part of the State and National Beef-Cook-off competitions, serving at all levels including Chairman when SD hosted the Cook-off in 1981. She helped develop and install Ag in the Classroom throughout our schools and traveled at the state and national level promoting agriculture and beef industry. In honor of her work she was inducted into the SD Hall of Fame in 2004.
She was a 50+ year member of Eastern Star, active in Job's Daughters, United Methodist Church and American Legion Auxiliary. In their retirement years Edith and Louie enjoyed winters in Sun City West, AZ. There Edith began extensive research of family genealogy providing numerous notebooks and family photos to Bartels, Kearns and Sutton families. She also enjoyed being a member of the International Ikebana Society, exploring the art of Japanese flower arranging.
Grateful for having shared her life are her husband, Louie of Aberdeen. Daughter Marcine (Arne) Fennel, Concord, NC. Their children: Alicia (Corey) Glass, Waxhaw, NC; Geoff (Celyn) Fennel, Decatur, GA; Adam (Rebecca) Fennel, Tega Cay, SC; Julie (Andriy) Budnyy, Tampa Bay, FL. Daughter-in-law Corlene Bartels (Owen) Elk Horn, WI. Their son, Clint Bartels, Frasier, CO. Owen's children: Bob (Annelies) Bartels, Mount Buller, Australia; Cristin (Mark) Wantland, Sugar Hill, GA. Son-in-law Bill (Corliss) Kellogg, Gettysburg. Children of Bill and Ethel Kellogg: Paul (Bonnie) Kellogg, Gettysburg, Rebecca (Ryan) Wuttke, Scottsdale, AZ, Elizabeth Kellogg, Sioux Falls. Daughter Marion (Dean) Marske, their daughters Megan and Kallie, all of Aberdeen. Great-grandchildren: Dylan and Garrett Glass, Anja and Marcus Bartels, Alexis Kellogg, Nathaniel Wantland, Ava and Kennedy Leedom. Sisters: Dorothy (Herb) Lesmeister, Belle Fourche, Janet (Robert) Gesinger, Ridgeview, SD, and many nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.
Edith was preceded in death by brothers Edwin (Buddy) and Francis, her parents, stepmothers Martha and Selma Kearns, son Owen, daughter Ethel, great-granddaughter Ashley Kellogg.

Credit Suisse In Talks To Pay $1.6 Billion To Resolve U.S. Tax Probe: Source
(Reuters) - Credit Suisse Group AG (VTX:CSGN) is in talks with the U.S. Justice Department to pay as much as $1.6 billion to resolve an investigation into the bank's role in helping Americans evade U.S. taxes, a person familiar with the matter said on Monday.
The penalty could be roughly twice the amount paid by UBS AG, which settled similar charges in 2009 for $780 million and agreed to identify its customers.
Prosecutors have also been pushing for Credit Suisse to plead guilty in connection with the probe, two people with knowledge of the talks said.
The settlement talks are ongoing, and the details are still being finalized. An agreement could come in the next few weeks, the sources said.

Simon is probably right, but I'm not exactly sure why the legislature can't pass a law that delegates the authority to another in-state actor.
- Joe said...
Yet one more argument to fix and replace the 17th amendment.
- Revenant said...
It seems to me that the legislature should be able to delegate its power to the people. Whether or not the courts would agree, I have no idea.
I would like to see this addressed, though, because if the courts find that a referendum CAN do this, that would strongly imply that California could pass a referendum allowing electors to be distributed based on district rather than as a solid bloc. - 10/29/08, 1:29 PM
- Simon said...
Ann, thanks for the link; Mort and Rev, both those questions are answered in the post I rely on in the post that Ann linked to. (It was written in direct response to the California initiative you mention, Rev, and concludes that the proposal was invalid.)
- Freder Frederson said...
Yeah, I always go to tech support for advice on sticky points of constitutional interpretation.
- Revenant said...
Simon, I'm aware of your opinions regarding California. I'm just curious how the Court itself will rule.

I've been wondering how Gov. Palin could keep herself in the public eye if her bid for the Vice Presidency is not successful. (Recall that Ronald Reagan was able to stay fresh in the minds of voters with a weekly syndicated radio address after his failed runs.)
Then, along came the Sen. Stevens conviction. Maybe he could be useful, after all.
A Sen. Palin, I believe, would attract a good bit of media attention in Congress, and keep her in the public eye in preparation for a 2012 run. - 10/29/08, 8:05 PM
- Simon said...
Rev, I don't know; but - let me put it this way, with a doff of the hat to Trooper. have you ever seen the movie version of The Hunt for Red October? The USS Dallas has been encountering a signal contact it can't identify. The sonar dude gets out a map on which the contact locations are marked; he puts a ruler on the map and draws a line straight through every contact point, and runs the line out along the map - directly into the entrace to a known Sovet sub route. It's a very neat scene (very underrated performance by Alec Baldwin, that movie, and Poledouris really pulled out the stops). So, similar to that, I don't know where the court will end up, but I think that there's a line that runs directly through McPherson v. Blacker, Bush v. Palm Beach County and the Chief Justice's concurrence in Bush v. Gore, and I think that line runs directly through the analysis I offered. Of course, the difference is that the Red October had one captain throughout...
- Revenant said...
Simon, I think there are several problems with that "line" you're drawing. First of all, unless I'm missing something Blacker didn't rule out the legislature allowing voters to directly choose how electors would be appointed, it just ruled out other branches of the government having that power.
Secondly, in Palm Beach the Court kicked the ball back to Florida with a request for clarification. You could put a line to *anywhere* through that point.
Finally, the Chief Justice's opinion on Bush v. Gore was only joined by two justices. Since Rehnquist is now dead, even if you assume that both Alito and Roberts agree with that opinion that still only gives you four votes supporting that opinion. So that ruling clearly doesn't belong on the line, because if the current court was asked to rule solely on that question it would pretty clearly find that Rehnquist was wrong.
So in summary, I don't see how you're drawing that "line". The beginning point doesn't seem terribly supportive, the middle point is vague, and the final point is clearly a minority opinion. The only way I can see a majority holding with that view this time around is if some of the more results-oriented liberal justices decided to save California for the Democrats -- and quite honestly I think at least a few of the conservative judges would reach the exact opposite conclusion for similarly results-oriented reasons. - 10/29/08, 9:42 PM

Kings XI Punjab (12 points from as many matches), who are still in with a chance to make it to the playoffs, clash with the Deccan Chargers in Match 61 of DLF IPL 2012.
The Deccan Chargers sit at the floor of the table with just two wins from 13 outings and are out of the reckoning from making it to the playoffs. However, their matches are a very important part of the calendar in that they could decide the fate of some of the other teams who are still in the hunt for a playoff spot.
Kings XI Punjab have looked a good team when things have fallen in place for them. However, they've lacked in consistency and in carrying forth their winning momentum; that has left them with six wins and just as many defeats. With many teams closely packed in the mid-table, there could be no more room for a slip-up and KXIP will need to be on top of their game every single time.
Sunday, May 13, 2012, 08:00 p.m.
Punjab Cricket Association Stadium, Mohali
The Protagonists
The coming to age of Mandeep Singh has meant the burden on David Hussey and Shaun Marsh to score the bulk of the runs has reduced. 20-year-old Mandeep (KXIP's leading run-getter this season) has been used in a variety of roles; but it is in his role as opening batsman with which he has added most value to his team. Runs at the top from Mandeep have meant that the likes of Hussey and Marsh have had the freedom to go out and play their shots from the word go.
There could also be a boost (and a complication in a way) with the likely return of Adam Gilchrist to the KXIP line-up. The southpaw missed his team's last few games owing to a hamstring injury he suffered earlier in the tournament, but may to return in time for this fixture.
For the Deccan Chargers, Cameron White and Shikhar Dhawan have been the two standout performers in what has otherwise been a lacklustre season for the team. While Dhawan has impressed with consistently getting runs, White – dropped from the team in the early days of the tournament – has impressed with his ability to play impact innings. The Australian's half-centuries were the cornerstone of DC's two wins this season, while his two other half-centuries gave his team a semblance of a chance of forcing a win.
Previous Meetings
Kings XI Punjab have a 6-3 win-loss record from their nine previous meetings against the Deccan Chargers.
The team from Mohali won the first four meetings between the two teams in IPL 2008 and IPL 2009, before the Deccan Chargers came back strongly to win both matches in the 2010 season. In IPL 2011, both teams dropped their home matches.
In the most recent meeting between the two teams earlier this season, KXIP, powered by Mandeep Singh's 75, posted 170 for five and then restricted the hosts to 145 for eight to win by 25 runs.
KXIP's Piyush Chawla is the second-highest wicket-taker in the IPL; he has taken 72 wickets in 67 matches. Only Lasith Malinga – with 81 wickets – is ahead of him in this list.
No IPL team has had more luck at the coin toss than the Deccan Chargers; the Hyderabad franchise has won the toss in 41 of their 72 matches.
What next?
Kings XI Punjab will be back in action in less than 48 hours when they take on the Delhi Daredevils at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in Delhi on May 15. On the other hand, the Deccan Chargers will be out of action for four days, before their next fixture against the Rajasthan Royals on May 18.

But really, it was a very simple project. And we couldn't be happier with how it turned out...
On one side of the dresser, we added two rows of hooks for necklaces and bracelets and ties. On the other side, we hung an old mirror we had that we spraypainted in a cheery yellow. The drawer was lined with the wrapping paper as well and we replaced the old handle with pretty knobs from Anthropologie.
The wrapping paper was not wide enough to cover the back panel, but since the pattern is busy, you can't even notice the horizontal seams. We already had the shower rod and just cut it down to size and affixed it to the sides of the dresser with shower rod flanges from Home Depot.
We actually bought casters and attached them to the feet in order to make the closet easy to move around. However, we realized that with the casters on, the dresser was more likely to tip over... especially when you have a little monkey around that likes to do this kind of thing...
So we took the casters off because little monkeys like to practice their gymnastics when mom and dad aren't watching ;) We put the costume closet in Chloe's room and she has been playing with it non-stop. Its the perfect spot to store her superhero cape, her red riding hood costume, and all the accessories we had left over from her first birthday party photo booth. I have to admit I love seeing the funny little outfits she's been putting together.

Path.GetFullPath Method
Returns the absolute path for the specified path string.
Assembly: mscorlib (in mscorlib.dll)
- path
- Type: System.String
The file or directory for which to obtain absolute path information.
Exception | Condition |
ArgumentException | path is a zero-length string, contains only white space, or contains one or more of the invalid characters defined in GetInvalidPathChars. -or- The system could not retrieve the absolute path. |
SecurityException | The caller does not have the required permissions. |
ArgumentNullException | path is null. |
NotSupportedException | path contains a colon (":") that is not part of a volume identifier (for example, "c:\"). |
PathTooLongException | The specified path, file name, or both exceed the system-defined maximum length. For example, on Windows-based platforms, paths must be less than 248 characters, and file names must be less than 260 characters. |
The .NET Framework does not support direct access to physical disks through paths that are device names, such as "\\.\PHYSICALDRIVE0 ".
The absolute path includes all information required to locate a file or directory on a system.
The file or directory specified by path is not required to exist. For example, if c:\temp\newdir is the current directory, calling GetFullPath on a file name such as test.txt returns c:\temp\newdir\test.txt. The file need not exist.
However, if path does exist, the caller must have permission to obtain path information for path. Note that unlike most members of the Path class, this method accesses the file system.
This method uses current directory and current volume information to fully qualify path. If you specify a file name only in path, GetFullPath returns the fully qualified path of the current directory.
If you pass in a short file name, it is expanded to a long file name.
If a path contains no significant characters it is invalid unless it contains one or more "." characters followed by any number of spaces, then it will be parsed as either "." or "..".
For a list of common I/O tasks, see Common I/O Tasks.
The following code example demonstrates the GetFullPath method on a Windows-based desktop platform.
string fileName = "myfile.ext"; string path1 = @"mydir"; string path2 = @"\mydir"; string fullPath; fullPath = Path.GetFullPath(path1); Console.WriteLine("GetFullPath('{0}') returns '{1}'", path1, fullPath); fullPath = Path.GetFullPath(fileName); Console.WriteLine("GetFullPath('{0}') returns '{1}'", fileName, fullPath); fullPath = Path.GetFullPath(path2); Console.WriteLine("GetFullPath('{0}') returns '{1}'", path2, fullPath); // Output is based on your current directory, except // in the last case, where it is based on the root drive // GetFullPath('mydir') returns 'C:\temp\Demo\mydir' // GetFullPath('myfile.ext') returns 'C:\temp\Demo\myfile.ext' // GetFullPath('\mydir') returns 'C:\mydir'
- FileIOPermission
for access to the path.
Windows 7, Windows Vista SP1 or later, Windows XP SP3, Windows XP SP2 x64 Edition, Windows Server 2008 (Server Core not supported), Windows Server 2008 R2 (Server Core supported with SP1 or later), Windows Server 2003 SP2

After eight long days of play, the 2013 Aussie Millions Main Event has come to an end with 29-year-old Mervin "The Cat" Chan of Malaysia emerging victorious over a 629-player field to win AU$1.6 million, a Chrysler 300C car, and the Southern Hemisphere's most prestigious title.
2013 Aussie Millions Main Event Results
Place | Player | Prize (AU) |
1st | Mervin Chan | $1,600,000 |
2nd | Joseph Cabret | $1,000,000 |
3rd | Patrik Antonius | $600,000 |
4th | Dan Shak | $400,000 |
5th | Jarrod Glennon | $290,000 |
6th | David Yan | $220,000 |
7th | Jay Tan | $150,000 |
The final table began with Dan Shak, who won the $100,000 Challenge back in 2010 and finished fourth in it earlier in the week for AU$237,000, as chip leader with 3,775,000. In addition, Jay Tan was trying to best her boyfriend "Hong Kong" Kenny Wong's runner-up finish in the 2012 Aussie Millions Main Event; Joseph Cabret was representing the local Melbourne contingent; and fan-favorite Patrik Antonius was looking for the biggest tournament score of his career.
Here's a look at how the final table stacked up at the start of play:
2013 Aussie Millions Final Table
Seat | Player | Chips |
1 | Jarrod Glennon | 3,600,000 |
2 | Patrik Antonius | 3,345,000 |
3 | Dan Shak | 3,775,000 |
4 | Jay Tan | 1,220,000 |
5 | David Yan | 1,450,000 |
6 | Joseph Cabret | 2,655,000 |
7 | Mervin Chan | 2,910,000 |
On Day 5, action picked up in Level 23 with the blinds at 15,000/30,000/5,000, and it was there that the first elimination of the day occurred. It happened when Antonius opened to 60,000 from under the gun, Shak called on his direct left, and Tan three-bet to 175,000 on his direct left. The action folded back to Antonius, and he four-bet to 385,000. Shak quickly folded, and Tan moved all in for around one million chips. Antonius snap-called.
The flop was , which didn't improve Tan at all. The on the turn took away one of her outs, and the on the river ender her 2013 Aussie Millions Main Event. While Tan didn't best her boyfriend's runner-up finish in 2012, back-to-back final tables is a fine accomplishment for the endearing poker couple.
The next elimination came in Level 24 with the blinds at 20,000/40,000/5,000 when New Zealand's David Yan open-shoved for 780,000 under the gun and received a call from Chan in the cutoff. The button and both blinds folded and the cards were turned up.
It was a bad spot for the PokerStars SuperNova Elite as he had run pocket eights into a bigger pocket pair. According to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Chan was an 81.31% favorite and Yan only had a 18.23% chance of survival. That dropped to 13.23% on the flop, which gave him a running straight draw, but the useless turn bumped him down to just 4.55%. Yan needed an eight on the river to survive, but it wasn't in the cards as the peeled off. With that, Yan was eliminated in sixth place for AU$220,000.
It took nearly six hours for the next elimination to occur, which happened midway through Level 26 with the blinds at 40,000/80,000/10,000. It happened when Cabret opened for 160,000 under the gun for 160,000 and then called when Australian Jerrod Glennon three-bet to 375,000 from the button. Cabret then check-called a bet of 325,000 on the flop before leading out for 825,000 on the turn. Glennon called, the peeled off on the river, and Cabret moved all in.
Glennon hit the tank for a solid eight minutes weighing the decision. He shifted in his chair, shook his head, and continued to ruffle chips. Eventually he called off his remaining 2 million or so and Cabret revealed for a flush. Glennon looked crushed and simply tossed his cards to the dealer before exiting the tournament in fifth place for AU$290,000.
Interestingly, Shak had come close to a title in the 2013 Aussie Millions $100,000 Challenge when he finished in fourth place for AU$237,000, and his bid at the Main Event title came to an end in the same place.
It happened in Level 27 with the blinds at 50,000/100,000/10,000 when Shak opened for 250,000 under the gun and was met by a three-bet to 760,000 by Cabret on the button. The blinds both folded, Shak moved all in, and Cabret snap-called.
It was a bad time for Shak to shove as Cabret had him crushed. The flop gave both a pair of aces, but Cabret's king kicker had him well out in front. Neither the turn nor river helped Shak and once again he had to be satisfied with a fourth-place finish, this one good for AU$400,000.
Three-handed play lasted through Level 28, and at that point tournament officials made the decision to stop play around six in the morning and come back ten hours later to play it out. After a good night's sleep, Antonius, Chan and Cabret returned and it didn't take long for the fireworks to fly.
Early on Day 6 a huge hand developed that saw Chan double through Antonius. It happened in Level 29 with the blinds at 80,000/160,000/10,000 when Chan opened for 325,000 from the button and Antonius three-bet jammed for 4.96 million in the small blind. Joseph Cabret folded from the big and Chan snap-called.
Antonius had shoved quite a few times late on Day 5 and early today, but he picked the wrong spot here as he was well behind. His best chance of winning was to catch an ace, but he was left wanting as the board ran out . Antonius was eliminated on the very next hand, earning AU$600,000 for his third-place finish.
From there, it only took a few hands into heads-up play for a winner to be determined. It happened when Chan raised to 320,000 and then called when Cabret three-bet to 860,000. Both players checked the flop, the turned, and that's when things heated up. Cabret, who was first to act, led out for 1.2 million, Chan raised to 3 million, and Cabret moved all in. Chan snap-called and tabled the for trips, and he was out in front of Cabret's flush draw. The dealer burned one more time and put out the , the last card of the 2013 Aussie Millions Main Event.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) can claim to have gained a minor victory by having their man Laxman Sivaramakrishnan to displace the Federation of International Cricketers' Association (FICA) CEO, Tim May, in the International Cricket Council's (ICC) cricket committee for the next three years till 2015.
There are two current players' nominees in the committee headed by Anil Kumble and they are selected through voting by all the captains of the 10 Test playing nations.
According to a report in the South African media, the BCCI had put pressure on the captains to vote for Sivaramakrishnan in place of May.
FICA secretary and chief of South African Cricketers' Association Tony Irish was quoted as calling it a sad day in cricket governance.
The report said a re-voting was forced, but reliable sources confirmed to HT that it was not required as Sangakkara comfortably topped the votes count followed by Siva.
'No foulplay'
"Siva's name has been proposed to be a part of the ICC committee. It has gone for voting and the results are awaited," a BCCI official told HT. "We are not aware of any such allegations. We don't know when the result will be out," he added.
May had slammed BCCI in the past for not paying players' dues for the 2010 edition of Champions League. He also backed Daryl Harper, who criticised BCCI for undue influence during India's tour of West Indies in 2011.

Starting early on December 18, 2012, Facebook and Twitter feeds around the United States, and even crossing oceans, began filling up with messages of excitement as travelers embarked on an annual (and for some, their first) trip to Chicago. Others who were unable to make the trip wished their friends safe travels and requested that their friends "have lots of fun and take lots of pictures for me." For the ninth year since they started, Chicago rockers Kill Hannah would be hosting their annual New Heart for Christmas weekend—the first of which was held in 2002—drawing fans from all around the world. For me, it would be my second year attending and I couldn't have been more excited. With promises of an "epic weekend," "a weekend to be remembered," and with the return of Jonny Radtke to the band's line-up, following four years working on his own projects, the anticipation was even greater.
The first New Heart for Christmas was held in January, 2002 and definitely would not have been called an "event." That first show was little more than any other hometown show they'd played to the Chicago audience, save for being given a name—New Heart for Christmas, taken from a song off their Atlantic Records release, For Never and Ever—and having a holiday theme. At no point in that first performance did anyone imagine what they were doing that night would eventually grow into the massive pilgrimage it is today. Today, fans from around the world converge on the city of Chicago, taking over its hotels, transit systems, and concert venues and calling the city home for a weekend.
Each year, the band sets out to improve upon what they did for the previous year, with new activities for ticket holders to enjoy. With his Raccoon Society blog firmly affixed to the Fuse television network's website—and, at one point, the most popular of the celebrity contributor blogs featured on the site—2009 gave fans the opportunity to chat live with Kill Hannah frontman Mat Devine and his special guest singer/songwriter (then frontman of The Academy Is…) William Beckett in what was dubbed "Raccoon Society Live."
A stint with Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark pulled Devine away from the Kill Hannah stage in favor of the bright lights of Broadway in 2010. They picked the tradition up again in 2011 and VIP pass holders were invited to the JBTV recording studios as the band shared the stories behind writing the songs and their own personal experiences with the songs, with fans, and with other bands. The episode featuring the 2011 performance can be found here on the JBTV website and more clips can be found by searching Kill Hannah on the site.
2012 was the band's biggest outing to date. It was expanded from what had been a two-day event into three, offering three different ticket packages—$20 getting fans in for the House of Blues public show on Saturday night and working up to a $100 "Ultimate Fan" package, awarding fans various gifts and privileges in addition to admission to the shows—to see the band perform.
The setlists for all three shows were similar—building each night from seven songs at JBTV to 10 the following night at Crimson Lounge and an outstanding final list of 18 songs for the main event show on Saturday, December 22—despite their similarities, each performance was uniquely special, from acoustics to unreleased tracks to costumed characters.
The weekend began with a return to the JBTV studios for what was billed as a private rehearsal and Q&A on December 20. The band performed seven songs for the intimate 80-soul crowd before answering questions submitted by attendees. The questions ranged from inquiries about the future of the band to the members' favorite flavors of cereal (Cheerios, Boo Berry and Raisin Bran along with Devine's declaration that "cereal is disgusting"). The answers not only gave a glimpse into their plans and their minds but the atmosphere of the conversation really brought out the family vibe that is so well-known among Kill Hannah fans and "casual observers" from around the music industry. Singer Adam Blair of Dot Dot Dot (one of the main event's four supporting acts) summed it up in a way that so many have said before him; coming to a Kill Hannah concert is less like being at a gig and "more like attending a family reunion."
The rehearsal setlist included a cover of the David Bowie/Queen collaboration, "Under Pressure." They had originally recorded the track in 2007 for the soundtrack of the movie The Invisible and had been joined on the recording by another Chicago artist, Preston Graves of Cupcakes. After Graves mysteriously disappeared from the JBTV studio, the band joked that it was all an elaborate ruse to bring Axl Rose into the performance before Blair stepped in to fill Graves' shoes—a special, unplanned treat for the fans attending that session. When an unavoidable glitch delayed the following night's performance by nearly 90 minutes, fans who had attended the first night quipped "Who's Axl, now?" and waited (mostly) patiently for the men who had assembled them there. Also on the setlist for the first performance of the weekend was "Race the Dream," "He Believes in Time Machines," "Goodnight, Goodbye," "Nerve Gas," "New Heart for Christmas," and a cover (with Blair contributing his vocals) of "Do They Know It's Christmas?" originally performed by the Band Aid collective in 1984.
The Crimson Lounge acoustic set on Friday, December 21, opened with an unreleased track, "Falling in Love Will Kill You," set to be included on Devine's solo EP, due to the public in February, 2013 (watch this space for a review when that time comes). The idea was an intimate, parlor performance but it wasn't long before the high energy Devine and his ADHD could no longer be corralled and he began climbing on the furniture, trying periodically to convince his counterparts to follow suit. For the band's uncharacteristic ballad, "Promise Me," everyone except for Devine and guitarist Dan Wiese moved to the back of the stage; the two remaining members executed a heart-wrenching performance with a chorus of 160 enthusiastic back-up singers (in the audience).
The rest of that performance included "They Can't Save Us Now," "Hummingbirds the Size of Bullets," "Goodnight, Goodbye," "Raining All the Time," "Living in Misery," "10 More Minutes With You," "Nerve Gas" and "Lovesick," and was followed by a meet and greet and silent auction of band memorabilia with proceeds going to benefit the survivors of the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting earlier in the month. Among the memorabilia was a jacket belonging to bassist Greg Corner which had survived the bus fire that nearly claimed the lives of the band members in the Swiss Alps in 2008 and the two remaining pieces of the organ Devine destroyed in making the video for "Promise Me."
With three opening bands and a DJ presence from RKTR, Saturday's main event got underway promptly when doors opened at 6:00 p.m., with fans still coming in. During November, Kill Hannah and Do312.com had organized a contest for unsigned and independent bands to vie for the first opening spot—more about the contest here—and Chicago area group Blood Red Boots celebrated their win first on stage. Next, screamer-core rockers The Action Blast powered through their set while the crowd murmured with wonder over the awkward fit. "They were good for what they were," commented one fan after the night had ended, "and I'll probably check out more their stuff, but they just didn't fit with everything else."
Continuing on with the Chicago rock natives, Dot Dot Dot took the stage following The Action Blast and were a much less abrasive contrast to the sound fans had come out in droves to hear from the headliners. Which makes sense, given the history between the two bands as (Dot Dot Dot singer) Blair revealed he had performed with Corner (Kill Hannah bassist) when the two were in high school together. I was new to the band—to all of the opening bands, in fact—but easily found a comfortable place in the energetic and charismatic music they were sharing with the family they'd been invited into.
The question that comes up when we pilgrims tell "outsiders" what we are doing—that we have saved for 11 months and are now dropping all of that which we have saved into a journey to Chicago to see a mere concert—is, Why? Why would you spend that kind of money for something so trivial, to see just one band? It's not even a festival. They are slightly more accepting of someone traveling for Lollapalooza, Coachella or Bamboozle but to see one band, that is more than most people can wrap their heads around. Alicia from Arizona echoed Blair's sentiment, "The term I kept using to describe it to anyone that asked me about it was 'family reunion.' I had never experienced it for myself, and it was so exciting knowing that I would get to be a part of that, finally."
Rachael from Ohio continues by saying, "I'm a fan of many bands but Kill Hannah in my experience, has the most dedicated and genuine fans in the world. I'm not just a fan of the band but a fan of the fans." For so many fans, it is about the concert, about the music, about the band but that is all secondary to why they are really traveling all that way and spending all that money. They are really there to see people they have come to know as family and enjoy some music as an aside.
As Kill Hannah took the stage for the final time that weekend and the crowd present erupted into cheers, we were all reminded of the music that had brought us together from around the world in the first place. The energy of a Kill Hannah performance is immense in any venue in every city they visit. But New Heart for Christmas is their yearly opus. Corner told one fan, they put every dollar of profit from the event into funding it for the following year. They do it out of a sense of devotion to the music and to the fans; it is only fair we as fans give that same level back to them.
The setlist was stellar and couldn't have been more varied. They pulled songs from every album the band has officially released under the Kill Hannah moniker (save for 1996's The Beauty in Sinking Ships, which falls into a strange limbo area between In a Jar UK, an early Devine solo project, and Kill Hannah, with many of those songs slated to soundtrack the abandoned Breakfast Club sequel). Fans young and old, the newly introduced and the tried and true, knew every word, every note. For some fans this show also marked the return of Radtke to lead guitar after four years away from the band; for others it was their first time seeing the "classic Kill Hannah line-up."
Kill Hannah may not be media sensations—or even anything remotely close to it—but they have, as Rachael from Ohio pointed out, one of the most dedicated and unique fan bases you are going to find anywhere. There are few other acts, regardless of their level of media or label representation—Kill Hannah is also presently without label representation of any kind—who can consistently draw in the support the band does for their New Heart for Christmas event, without a supporting tour, without a new album, and without having either of those things for three, going on four years.
The New Heart for Christmas 9 weekend event is and will continue to be a chance for the most devoted, most dedicated fans to see their favorite band play their biggest show of the year and meet so many others like them. It is an opportunity for people who have emailed, snail mailed, Skyped and phoned themselves into "BFF" status to finally meet one another face to face and in the flesh. It is an opportunity to see a band who is so in tune with their fans that their singer can wave his hand across the crowd and say, "This front row here, this is my Twitter feed," and perform songs that hold such deep meaning both to them and to their hometown fans. These opportunities do not come along every day and not only am I intensely grateful that I have been able to experience it twice but I encourage anyone who comes across a similar opportunity—be it Kill Hannah's New Heart for Christmas or something your own favorite bands put together—that you do it with no regrets.

Merced… kinda dead? Or kinder dead?
Big Cartridge dragging itself along like a Frankenstein figure..
Posted in Business, 28th June 1999 07:21 GMT
Some intriguing reports are trickling our way about the progress of the Intel Merced project and so we thought it worth our while to revisit the subject, once more. It's hard for us to firm up the story that nine months ago, Intel CEO Craig Barrett carpeted Dr Albert Yu and got very irritated at the progress of the processor. We weren't there, and neither was our fly on the wall, but those rumours are doing the round. More intriguingly, we hear that Intel has made some attempts to get samples of the Big Cartridge out of the door to OEMs, but that performance figures on those liken its performance to a PII/233 rather than the 800MHz behemoth world+dog was expecting. Further, you will remember that some months ago we reported that even within Intel, the Merced project was considered something of an albatross, largely caused by infighting and politics. The reports we have published during the year of the babes-in-the-wood Intel has hired holding up progress on Merced also seem to have legs. According to the latest rumours, senior architectural engineers who formerly were allowed to hire very experienced designers, are having newbies foisted on them. According to this set of rumours, the Merced thingie has gone through as many as 25 somersaults and may yet have to go back to the drawing board for yet more nuts+bolt work. Thus, we have a simulator that works fine and dandy, and initial silicon samples that don't boot to order. And with Craig Barrett, Intel's CEO, telling The Register last week that Real Merced could be as long as 18 months away, it all adds up to a long and sorry tale. That is, if any of these rumours above are true. More and more, it seems as though the Big Cartridge looks like that Frankenstein-created monster, with great bigs nuts and bolts sticking out of its neck. ®

Some notes from Coal Street today:
— The Penguins didn't have a full practice. More like a well-attended optional skate. There was a full roster of black aces, a strong contingent of rookies and a handful of veteran regulars. I asked coach John Hynes about the practice schedule at this time of year: "If the effort and intensity level is there in the games, then this is the time of year where if guys show they can do that and are committed to that level of play in the games, then our job now is to make sure our energy level is where it needs to be at game time," he said.
— Keven Veilleux will not join the black aces. Hynes said it was an organizational decision and offered no further comment. It's a shame things worked out the way they did for Veilleux, especially given how hard he worked over the summer to rehab his knee injury, but when a guy gets suspended for shouting racial slurs, even if it was an out-of-character, one-time offense for which he was truly contrite, I don't know, maybe it's best he get a new employer and a change of scenery.
— Jayson Megna is on the first three-game scoring streak of his rookie season. I talked to him about his highlight-reel assist against Hershey on Sunday and how that play is a perfect metaphor for his recent resurgence. Check it out in tomorrow's paper.
— By winning five in a row, the Penguins have put themselves in position to clinch a playoff spot this weekend in St. John's, the same town where their playoff run ended last season. Hynes said the focus isn't on getting the X next to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in the standings. It's more on continuing to play the way that led to the five-game winning streak. That makes sense. Hynes was asked if his team has set its sights on home ice in the first round now that they're only three points behind Binghamton. "It's within reach but it's not a goal," he said. "The goal is to continue to play good hockey."
— The AHL trade deadline is tomorrow at 3 p.m. The Chicago Wolves made a fairly big splash yesterday, picking up veteran scorer Jonathan Matsumoto on loan from Worcester. The Wolves are battling for their playoff lives in the Western Conference. The Penguins don't usually make big moves at the AHL deadline, so nothing is expected on that front tomorrow, but if some scoring help presented itself, I'd say it wouldn't be a bad idea to consider making an addition.
— @CanyonVR: I understand your sentiments about Gibbons. I would say this: If he could finish more consistently, with his speed and tenacity, he'd be an NHL player already. As it stands, he's like most players in the AHL, talented and working to overcome the weak spots in his game so he can make the next step.
More tomorrow. Bye for now,

The Voice Recap 4/10/12- Live Eliminations, Week 2
Last night on "The Voice," Team Cee Lo and Team Adam showed what they had and in my opinion, it was Cee Lo all the way. If you missed any of it, we have your recap right here.
In my opinion, Cheesa outdid herself but it is up to America and the coaches to determine who will stay and who will go. Did you vote?
Three artists from each team will be saved by America tonight leaving the remaining three to sing for their lives. The judges will then pick one person to continue on. Adam does admit that he was a bit let down by his team on the live show and was a tad jealous of Cee Lo and his team.
Cee Lo and his damn cat! However, Jamar and Cheesa showed how great their coach has done with them. Juliet Simms and Tony Lucca hit number 1 and 2 on the rock charts and these kids are charting all over the place. Now, we give it up for Jessie J and Team Xtina, singing "Domino."
*Anyone catch Arsenio Hall from "The Celebrity Apprentice"chilling in the audience? Taking a break from yelling at Aubrey, I take it.*
SAVED BY AMERICA- MATHAI, TONY LUCCA (take that Xtina!) and PIP.
FINAL SHOT: KIM singing "Spotlight." This performance could have saved her if she had chosen this song last night; KARLA singing "I Can't Make You Love Me" and again, could have gotten America's vote last night with this song choice; KATRINA singing "Don't Speak" and she still sings and looks like a lesser version of Adele and that is really hard to look beyond. *Judges: Blake-Katrina; Xtina-Katrina; Cee Lo– Katrina; ME-KATRINA; ADAM SAVES: KATRINA PARKER.
SAVED BY AMERICA- JULIET SIMMS, JAMAR ROGERS and JAMES MASSONE
*I am not happy right now. Cheesa did such an amazing job that I even went onto Facebook to vote for her. Hopefully, she will kill it again tonight and will be saved by Cee Lo*
FINAL SHOT: TONY singing "Sweet Dreams (Are Made of This)" and he totally should have sung this song last night because he would have most likely been saved by America because it works with his sinister stare; CHEESA singing "All By Myself"and she should not have to sing because she rocked it and I will maintain that. Fortunately, I can feel her emotions while singing tonight so I will remain hopeful so please Cee Lo, don't crush my dreams; ERIN singing "Your Song" and I am fairly certain that her voice has changed overnight and somehow gotten worse. Judges: Adam– Cheesa; Blake- Cheesa; Xtina-Cheesa; ME- Cheesa; CEE LO SAVES: CHEESA. THANK YOU CEE LO.
Next week, it will be time for the quarter finals, something you won't want to miss.

Are there any better options? The setup is terrible. AND you have to connect to their server just to do it? WTF is up with that?
I use one and the set up is a pain in the ass. The good news is you only have to do it once. Even when you replace the batteries.
I've had this for years and never had a problem might be able to get a good deal on amazon especially with the super savings shipping PM me for more details on my experience
what about channel 38? Seriously, my email, a login and password, an internet connection, connection to their server every time. None of these things are necessary for a fucking remote. The only reason for doing this is there is no alternative... are there any alternatives? Oh yeah, and it doesnt allow me to use the - button on my TV. i program it, but it doesnt work.
FWIW i have a Harmony 700. You can only program 6 devices (there is ZERO reason for this other than them wanting you to buy a more expensive remote from them). I have a TV, Receiver, external HDMI switch (so i can listen to music and play video games/watch sports) WDTV Xbox 360 Ps3 and a Wii that i have to manually switch to. Total fucking bullshit. Ive had it a 18 months. Did i mention it doesnt charge the rechargeable batteries that came with it?
im pretty sure there is a lower model than the 700, i wanna say a 650. the 'black' on the buttons is wearing off too. And its not even from usage. i never push the record button, and its edges are wearing off.
I probably have the lowest one then. It doesn't even have a screen. l I keep hearing people say how they hate their Harmony remote. I like mine Maybe simple is better?
the 700 has a screen, but its not a touch screen. Im pretty sure the next highest model has a 'docking cradle' that all the reviews said was shit (for one, the remote could not be used while docked, and i believe the batteries were not replaceable). I also want to say the '650' could only control 5 devices. This one has a usb micro (i think its micro, its the standard smart phone usb).
I own two, a 550 and an 1100. Yes, they take a while to set-up, if you are looking for old school fast set-up the Harmony remotes are not for you. In complex systems they are the cheapest option to have full and proper control. I'm not big fan of the ergo's on the 550, but it works like a champ and shows very little wear after years of use. The 1100 I have no complaints about, and is generally a joy to use.
I've got a Harmony One and it works fine. My wife and kids require it. It has pretty pictures that say "Watch TV" or "Play Video Game" or "Watch DVD" that they can touch on the screen. Otherwise they would never be able to figure out which input the tv needs to be on and what channel the receiver needs to be on. Now they can press a button and let Harmony do the work.
I have the Harmony 650. It's ok, but I wouldn't buy another one. At least a couple times a week, it goes through the initial startup where it asks you to hit the right arrow three times, hit the center button, hit watch tv, etc... I never had to reprogram it though. Just fucking annoying. And yes, the batteries are fresh.
When I was 12, my best friend had cable and one of these in three different rooms of the house. I thought he was filthy rich. At my house we got 7 channels over the rabbit ears.
I have several Harmony devices and find them to work quite well. If your set up is simple then they are generally not worth the investment in time to learn how to get set up. However if you have more than one home theater arrangement or you upgrade or add to your system, then their solution can be a time saver. Another advantages is when your spouse or kids break or lose the remote, you can quickly be back up to speed with a quick download. All in all, despite some shortcomings, i have found them be a great solution in our ome.

text: The Amazing Special Effects of Boardwalk Empire Are What Make the Show BeautifulCasey Chan1/22/12 9:00pmFiled to: watch thisBoardwalk empireSpecial EffectsEffectsCgi79EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalink I watch Boardwalk Empire but it's not a good show. It's only fake good. It wears the clothes, has the style and carries the swagger of a good show but it doesn't hold a candle to the old HBO greats. But you know what is great about Boardwalk Empire? The special effects. I had no idea. Watch the magic.Oh the magic of the movies (or TV, in this case)! I always wondered how the show managed to recreate the prohibition era style so well. Of course I knew there were special effects but I didn't know how much was in the show. It's everywhere. Like Game of Thrones, pretty much everything in the show that you thought was real was actually doused over in special effects. The team behind these effects, Brainstorm Digital, are boss at what they do. They're so good that it could fool a person into thinking Boardwalk Empire is actually a good show. [Vimeo via LikeCool]

Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/v8t87t/the_market_for) has announced the addition of the "The Market for Services and Devices in the LTE-D and Wearable Wireless Post Smartphone/Tablet Era" report to their offering. The world of wireless is moving beyond the notion of personal communications meaning only a phone. Smartphones are already so much more than a communications device as they facilitate many non-voice applications, content, and commerce. Global Wireless Research (GWR) research predicts that the Smartphone Era will end once several new technologies are in place commercial, which include ubiquitous 4G/LTE (and faster) data speed, wearable wireless devices, peer-to-peer communication/signaling (via LTE Direct, WiFi Direct and others), and Augmented Reality. This research analyzes each of these technologies anticipated impact on the wireless business ecosystem and their convergence to transform mobile service usage from smartphones to a future of wearable wireless, personal device/public device convergence, and all of the anticipated new use case scenarios associated with this evolution. These new scenarios include many new services in the areas of public safety, communications, commerce, and content that stretch beyond existing mobile network service paradigms. Key Report Findings · The Post Smarphone Era will be replaced with an new Personal Wireless Era characterized by high-speed data, wearable wireless, peer to peer communications, personal device to public device communication, ambient awareness and autonomous service engagement. · Wearable wireless will transform beyond a single communications device to a hub for carrier communications and bridge to many other devices both on a peer-to-peer and personal-to-public communications basis · In this new Era, smartphones and tablets will not go away. Instead, they will transform into more pure computing devices and be augmented by a vast array of other devices, both personal/private and public, to provide a much broader personal communications, commerce, content and application experience Key Topics Covered: 1.0 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 2.0 THE DAWN OF THE WEARABLE WIRELESS ERA 3.0 THE IMPACT OF LTE AND LTE-ENABLED DEVICES 4.0 THE COMING OF LTE DIRECT (LTE-D) 5.0 CONVERGENCE OF LTE-D AND WEARABLE WIRELESS 6.0 MARKET PREDICTIONS AND STRATEGY RECOMMENDATIONS For more information visit http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/v8t87t/the_market_for Web 2.0 Latest News

Birds won't do it, dogs won't do it, and guinea pigs can't do it. The cat is one of the rare pets to understand how to use a bathroom facility (litter box) almost from infancy. No wonder most people consider cats to be among the cleanest (and smartest!) animals.
Some History And Cat Litter Factoids:
Commercial types of cat litter have been around since the late 1940s. Prior to that, people filled litter boxes with plain sand, or they let their cats go outside to dig a hole in the dirt. Since that time there has been an explosion of cat litter products. The litter falls into a few basic types:
- Non-clumping conventional
- Clumping
- Biodegradable
- Silica gel or crystals
- Wood chips
- Arm & Hammer - Ever Clean
- Fresh Step - Johnny Cat
- Lucky Champ - Naturals
- Scoop Away - Purina Tidy Cats
- Litter Maid
- Litter Robot
- Scoop Free Automatic Litter Box
Cat litter choices are further split into scented or non-scented, multi-cat or single cat and whether the product contains baking soda. About 70 percent of the cat litter market consists of the clumping variety, most likely because of its convenience. This type is formed from Bentonite clay, which clumps together when it encounters liquids. Clumps and waste can then be scooped out without replacing the entire contents of the litter box.
For "green" kitties and their people, there are several types of biodegradable and natural cat litters to choose from. Like many green products, they tend to cost a bit more.
There are dozens of brands of kitty litter to choose from and the prices vary depending on the vendor. One can generally expect to pay from $7 to $10 for a 15 lbs. container of cat litter. A few of the top brands are listed here, and each one comes in several varieties:
Litter boxes come in a variety of shapes and styles. At the least expensive end of the box spectrum are plain rectangular plastic boxes with no lids. Most boxes have covers now however, and some come with a flap door to let the cat in and keep odors out of the room. The newest addition to the litter box line is the "self-cleaning" or "robot" litter box. These units require a power source have mechanical parts that either sift or rotate to direct cat waste into a separate shelf or compartment. All the owner has to do is remove the compartment, and dump the contents. Daily scooping is not required. Not surprisingly these mechanical litter boxes are expensive. They can cost around $100-$200,compared to around $20 for a regular plastic covered litter box. For some owners, the convenience is worth the price.
Some Examples Of Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes:
Many cats and kittens know intuitively how to use a litter box. Outside or in the wild, it is their nature to dig a hole and cover their waste with dirt. However, if you have a new kitten that has not figured out how to use a litter box yet, training is relatively easy. Make sure you have a clean new litter box filled with two to three inches of...
