International Studies Minor
The International Studies minor is an interdisciplinary minor, composed of a cluster of foreign culture, language and international affairs courses with a largely contemporary focus. It provides students with enhanced understanding of the conditions in the rest of the world that are making themselves felt in the daily lives of Americans.
In addition to the general liberal arts goal of broadening students' horizons of awareness of other peoples and places, the minor offers a valuable complementary education for many career-oriented and pre-professional programs of study. The minor provides three principal categories of an international education: competency in a second language, knowledge of other cultures, and appreciation of global interdependence among nations.
Students who successfully complete the International Studies Minor will be able to:
- explain the history, evolution, theory, and methods of inquiry of International Studies;
- describe the interrelationships among the political, historical, economic, legal, cultural, religious, and geographic dimensions of international affairs;
- communicate in a language other than English at an intermediate level through successful completion of 212 or an equivalent level;
- analyze the interdependencies related to diversity of people, cultures, organizations, and nations in the world through an international and interdisciplinary perspective;
- communicate effectively, both orally and in written form about a multicultural and/or international topic;
- demonstrate critical thinking and analytical skills in research on topics related to international studies.

Updated: The Deal's Gone Down [maybe]: Oakland's Angstadt Reported to be Berkeley's New Planning Director
UPDATE at 7: Well, not so fast. When we raised the question in the public comment period that preceded today's special 5:30 Berkeley City Council meeting, councilmembers roundly denied that Oakland's Eric Angstadt already had a lock on the city's director of planning job.
"I've only seen him once, for two minutes!" said Mayor Bates. Some councilmembers, not clear which ones, said they'd not heard anything about the choice. The consensus seemed to be that the candidate would merely be introduced at tonight's meeting, and the decision would be made at a subsequent meeting.
But in all fairness to our colleagues at Berkeleyside, their story might be substantially accurate nevertheless. It's highly probable that the rumored appointee will get the spot, since he seems to be well and truly backed by the development industry, which contributed generously to the Mayor, several of the councilmembers and to Measure R (the excuse for the almost-sealed Downtown Plan).
Original story (4 p.m.):
It has been announced (no source indicated) on berkeleyside.com (whose proprietor has requested that the Planet not call it a blog) that "Eric Angstadt, currently deputy director of planning and zoning for the City of Oakland, is expected to be confirmed tonight as Berkeley's new director of planning and development. The City Council will make the appointment in closed session tonight, and the official announcement is scheduled for tomorrow."
Councilmember Kriss Worthington told the Planet that he has yet to be informed of this decision, and he said that under previous city managers the planning director nomination was reported to the City Council in the closed session and then voted on by the council in subsequent open public meetings.
If the appointment is made in closed session, it will be a departure from previous practice. If the city's announcement of the name is made after the appointment has already taken place, the public has no opportunity to comment on the decision. And it appears that in this case the deal has already gone down, so the public is firmly out of the loop.
The Berkeleyside announcement featured no Berkeley quotes, but enthusiastic endorsements of the Angstadt appointment from Joel Ramos of Hayward, a major regional smart growth proponent, and John Protopappas of Oakland, one of Oakland's biggest developers:
"Eric is a very creative, visionary person who takes a very pragmatic approach to his vision," said Joél Ramos, a member of the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency board and leader of the Great Communities Collaborative for TransForm. "He's very talented at working with people. We're confident that if there's a way to get something done on a project, Eric will find the way."
Ramos cites three major projects in Oakland where he believes Angstadt's contribution was crucial: the Upper Broadway corridor plan, the International Boulevard transit-oriented development, and the commercial corridor zoning update.
John Protopappas, president and CEO of Madison Park Financial, one of Oakland's largest developers, echoes Ramos. 'Oakland's loss is Berkeley's gain'."

SaaShr needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 64 designs submitted by 11 freelance designers.
SaaShr.com provides human resources, payroll, and other workforce management software as a service (SaaS) based applications over the internet to small and mid-sized businesses ranging from a few dozen to a few thousand employees.
Our new website should provide the look and feel of a cutting-edge software technology company. It should be representative of how high tech sites in the workforce management area might look in the near future (e.g. beyond Web 2.0). Corporate colors to include are black and PMS 382 c. Additional colors are at the designer's discretion.
We feel that the site is pretty good as is, but it should look more-up-to date with the changing world of technology, have better usage of real-estate, and incorporate more "human" elements to reflect our primary target audience.
Our clients or 'partners' are resellers/licensees of our applications. We refer to them as Service Providers. We do not sell direct. Our partner base resells our applications to the end user market under through their brand. Our 'partners' range from traditional brick and mortar establishments to high tech organizations:
•PEO – professional employer organizations –lease the employees of clients
•ASO – administrative services organizations – provide consulting and supplemental services (outgrown the PEO model)
•PSB – payroll service bureaus – provide payroll and payroll-related services to clients
•CPA Firms – certified professional accountants – provide accounting/payroll services to clients.
•HRO/BPO – human resource outsourcing/business process outsourcing – act as an entire HR department for their clients (training, benefits, payroll, etc.)
•Value Added Resellers – resell third party products/services.
•Staffing Firms – provide services from recruiting to off-shoring
•Benefit Agencies & Brokers – provide benefits and insurance to businesses and individuals
Other possible visitors to the site: end user companies looking for HR, Payroll or TLM solutions, the media, members of investment community and others.
Demographics - Most visitors who access our site represent mid-top level roles in their organizations ranging from sales/business development staff to IT, to c-level executives. Typical age group of visitors is 45-60, typical users within companies responsible for day-to-day operations range between 25-45. The challenge is making the site appealing to the researching audience looking for high-tech solutions and decision makers who might be used to more traditional representations.
We would like to preserve many of our original illustrations at this point, so design should be made with them in mind. Specifically, most of the illustrations feature some version of a grid – consider having this kind of element subtly incorporated in the design so that the site better relates to existing illustrations. Some of the elements from the library of elements (i.e. bullets, fonts, etc.) that will be created in the process of the redesign might be applied to the offline media like marketing handouts so they have a consistent look when compared with the website.
Anchor Text – Currently our anchor text on sub-pages is larger than our standard text, which makes these links look awkward. New anchor text should stand out, but not be intrusive.
In order of prominence –
Flash Area –Create a placeholder to show how may look (flash will be done by 3rd party)
Differentiator Boxes - Create 5 or 6 boxes above/below/side of the flash area for differentiators – See inowweb.com.
Audience Identification – two dropdown menus.
1- Service Providers Seeking a Solution
-"Select Vertical"
2- End-Users Seeking a Solution
-"Select an Industry"
- "Select a Solution"
Article/info material giveaway section –icon of an article/case study or other material)
Recent News – See SaaShr.com for example
Testimonial s – Picture/Video Testimonials (ex: ultimatesoftware) + text of testimonial
Connect w. us – social media icons & "Contact Us at 866.722.9952"
About Us - 20 words of text, see our site
Sitemap – (see menu bar attachment). Sample: mint.com
Site Page 1:
1- Top-level Navbar (same as homepage)
2- Breadcrumb trail
3- Space for Page Title
4- Column 1: Expandable Side Navbar (ex: http://adp.com/solutions/employer-s…rces.aspx)
5- Column 2: Central text and picture area
Note: some pages at this level may (not) incorporate images (see HR and Payroll page on SaaShr.com).
6- Column 3: Messaging/Giveaway Area – Could include case studies/white papers, testimonials, additional links or just general info
7- Interactive area - contact us, take a poll
8- Site Map on Bottom of Page (same as homepage)
MediaRoom Page :
Include 1, 2, 3, 4, and 8 from site page 1
Sub-sections to have several instances of press releases and materials to download (articles, white papers, case studies), interactive area (as above), media contact us, and a spot for video (5-6 sub-section areas).
Main Home Page Example:
This site is the general layout we like the best for the homepage from the dark gray menu bar down to the process buttons and would like to see something similar to it.
Companies in Our Space:
This is one of the companies in our space whose site is comparable to the site above. It has a really clean layout.
This is another one of the companies in our space whose site we like. Particularly the call to action buttons for the video and "tour" of the system. We would like similar buttons/boxes for a free white paper giveaway on selecting a software as a service provider and a picture / video testimonials spot.
This company has a great usage of space above the fold, virtually anything on their site can be accessed through this space.
This is one of the top companies in our space and their site has a very interesting use of real-estate with the two rounded box-type images above the fold (one being a video and the other an image). It might make sense for us to have our flash on one side and then the dropdown menu mentioned above to the other side or below the flash, please use your discretion.
This company's website is OK, but the aspect I really like about it is the number of way's they are garnishing contact information (and the design behind it). The icons are nice and would like to have a similar look to them (for the partner kit, and article giveaway). The newsletter opt-in area is lacking and would like something a bit more creative.

Oilers beat Jets to end six-game skidby Derek Van Diest
EDMONTON -- The Edmonton Oilers went into the Christmas break without a seven-game losing skid hanging over their heads.
Jordan Eberle, Sam Gagner, David Perron, Jeff Petry, Taylor Hall and Nail Yakupov scored for the Oilers, who cruised to a 6-2 win against the Winnipeg Jets at Rexall Place on Monday night.
The victory snapped a six-game skid and sent the Oilers (12-24-3) into the three-day break in festive spirits.
"Don't think our families weren't sitting at home or wherever these guys are flying saying, 'Please win the game, we want our family member who is coming home to be in a good mood,' " Oilers coach Dallas Eakins said. "I know my wife was looking forward to us winning the game so we could have a good three days together and me not off in La-La Land, solely focused on the next game.
"It's large even during the season when you're not going to play for a couple of days, you don't want to be sitting around with a loss. It's terrible, you're just miserable."
Ilya Bryzgalov made 18 saves to earn his second win of the season for the Oilers, who scored as many goals Monday as they had during their losing skid combined.
"Overall it was a way better game than we had against St. Louis," Hall said, referring to a 6-0 loss to the St. Louis Blues on Saturday. "We had a way better start and we seem to carry that over into the rest of the game.
"That's been our kryptonite. It seems to be when we get a good start and they get a goal or they tie it up, we kind of get off the rails. But that wasn't the case [Monday], we just kept it going."
Mark Stuart and Andrew Ladd scored for the Jets, who have lost two straight and three of their past four. Ondrej Pavelec made 24 saves in the loss.
"We didn't play very intelligent, we didn't play the right way," Jets coach Claude Noel said. "We knew this game could get out of hand if we played the way we played. We got pretty much what we deserved playing that way.
"We knew that we had to check and defend to have success in this game and we didn't do a good job of that. We knew 20 minutes in that this was not going to go our way unless we changed the way we played."
Eberle opened the scoring in the first period on the power play at 8:40, taking a cross-ice feed from Ales Hemsky at the side of the net for an easy tap-in.
Hemsky had a strong start to the game and was the offensive catalyst for the Oilers.
"I thought he was excellent early, it may be one of the best games that we've seen him play early on, then he got banged up a little bit later," Eakins said. "He was shooting the puck. He's way more dangerous on the power play on the right side of the ice. He was skating and when he's skating and he's feeling good, he's a dangerous character out there."
Stuart tied the game at 11:20 beating Bryzgalov through the pads with a shot from the faceoff circle.
Gagner gave the Oilers the lead at 16:07 finishing off a play in front after the Oilers cycled the puck in the corner.
Ladd pulled the Jets even again at 9:08 of the second period, tipping a Dustin Byfuglien shot past Bryzgalov.
"It's the same old crap game after game," Ladd said. "Frustrating doesn't begin to describe it. We know what it is, we talk about it all the time. We do the same things over and over. A team like the Oilers, you know they have a lot of offensive guys that can hurt you and you don't want to put them on the power play and you don't want to turn the puck over and give them chances on the rush. We did both of those things and that's the score."
Perron restored the Oilers lead at 16:40 taking a pass from Hall in front and beating Pavelec. It was the first time this season Perron and Hall played on a line together. The two combined for five points on the night.
"It's funny in the first period, we didn't have a goal or anything, but I thought we were really close four or five times," Perron said. "And when I mean really close, we were only a stick away or a couple of feet away and I know that you have a really good chance at the net.
"When we get into a situation with just the goalie and no defense, I like our chances and we were able to get a big goal there, the third goal."
Petry extended the lead at 4:28 of the third, jumping into the rush and depositing a feed from Yakupov.
Hall made it 5-2 on the power play at 8:34 benefiting after Ryan Nugent-Hopkins intercepted a Jakub Trouba clearing attempt in front. Nugent-Hopkins found Hall for the easy one-timer past Pavelec.
Yakupov rounded out the scoring at 16:16, stripping Byfuglien of the puck at the Jets' blue line and finishing off a 2-on-1 rush after taking a pass from Hall.
"The puck was following [Hall] around early, but it kept feeling like nothing was finishing off for him, nothing was developing," Eakins said. "The great thing about Taylor, and a number of our guys, is that they stuck with it and finally was rewarded for all the work he was doing.
"Taylor came out hard in the game and that's what we needed. We needed another good start and more importantly, we were able to sustain it."

Driver Flees After Crashing into Home on South Terry Avenue in Sioux Falls
A Sioux Falls man is charged after, police say, he drove his SUV through an apartment, narrowly missing a woman who lives there.
Police spokesman Sam Clemens says it happened around 1:40 AM Wednesday morning in the 3600 block of South Terry Avenue.
Clemens says the man had backed out of a driveway across the street, but when he went to go forward he lost control and the vehicle plowed into the window of the apartment across the street:
Clemens says witnesses provided information, and police located 31-year-old Shawn Edward George Essem at his home. Essem would not come to the door until around 9:30 AM, when he was arrested on charges of hit-and-run and reckless driving.
The 77-year-old woman in the apartment was not injured.
Damage to the apartment was estimated at $15,000, and damage to Essem's GMC Yukon was estimated at $5,000.

This article first appeared on Technorati
The most significant disruption to advertising and marketing is a process, not a platform…
As our ability to connect continues to evolve, so does our perception of messages and what "is" appropriate content. What has changed? We want to control content and connections, effortlessly sharing and defining our role within a reciprocal process, which did not exist when brands ran the show.
It's not just the way we connect via Mobile that is driving this change; it's the "reason" we are connecting… more often, and for longer periods of time.
Mobile devices have become a Life-Tool!
We depend on mobile devices to keep us connected in case of an emergency; navigate our direction, keep our fantasy team in the game and make the right choices.
This morning, I sent an image (shoes, of course) to my daughter. She called to tell me that she had received it. In conversation, Maggie mentioned that the image was a bit too small to see via her mobile phone, "But wait…I have my iPad right here, yes they are perfect"! What is interesting, last week she mentioned that she really doesn't pick up email anymore and never via her mobile phone, just her iPad.
"Just too much to respond to, and email is old news."
What is more interesting, less than five feet away she has a brand new touch-screen PC…with dust on it.
We are becoming more reliant and trusting of our mobile device for real-time information, especially within immediate response situations. In many cases, our mobile device makes the difference in "what we do next".
The demand for mobile information is extreme. Immediate and direct access to "more" has become an expected ever-present service
As we now live an immediate-aware life, brands must become a part of this new process and/or define an intuitive reason to connect. Also, it is important to remember that a very different type of usage…requires a very different protocol for measurement.

Find Louisiana cemeteries, memorial parks, mausoleums, graveyards, gravesites, graves or mortuaries. Cemeteries provide information on funerals and burial services including internment, headstones and grave markers, burial grounds, cemetery plots, vaults, crypts, as well as burial records for national, state,.
A Cemetery is a burial ground where cultural, ethnic, or religious burial observations and rituals are practiced. There are more than 120,000 Cemeteries in the United States, and they vary significantly in terms of ownership, accessibility, and design. Public Cemeteries make their plots available to the general public. Private Cemeteries restrict their use based on religious affiliation, family, ethnicity, or some other group identifier. Military Cemeteries are generally restricted to veterans and other individuals who have served in the armed forces. In some cases, family members of veterans may also be buried in Military Cemeteries.
Public Cemeteries may be owned by county or local governments, or they may be privately owned. They are open to the public and generate most of their revenue from the sale of individual burial plots. Government-owned Cemeteries may also be partially funded by the operating budget of the county, city, or town. The operation and maintenance of government-owned Cemeteries is usually the responsibility of a Parks or Public Works Department, though some have established divisions specifically for Cemeteries.
Public Cemeteries that are privately owned include Cemeteries owned by businesses and non-profit organizations, such as churches. A Cemetery owned by a church or other religious institution may be considered a Public Cemetery if it is open to the general public. Many Cemeteries are owned by small, locally based businesses. However, a growing number are owned by a handful of large, national companies. In these cases, a local business is often retained as the operator of the Cemetery.
The licensing and operation of Cemeteries is generally regulated by the states. The location of Public Cemeteries is usually regulated by local ordinances and zoning rules. Most states require Public Cemeteries to establish an endowment or other fund for the perpetual care and maintenance of the Cemetery. A certain portion of each burial plot sale must be designated for the future care and maintenance of the Cemetery grounds. These requirements are intended to ensure that funds are available to maintain the Cemetery even after all of the burial plots have been sold. States may also regulate service fees charged by Cemeteries.

Document 2: Helen Stewart's Letters
Although the ranch was operating successfully, Helen continued to worry about her children's lack of education. At first she hired a tutor, Ross Megarrigle, a man with an Oxford education. After his death she sent her children to Los Angeles for a formal education. Tiza and Evaline took to schooling and they would become well-educated women of property. But despite his mother's urgings Archibald rebelled and wanted to join his brothers in working on the ranch. He was killed while corralling horses during a school vacation. The first two letters below were written by Helen Stewart to her youngest son, Archie, before his death while he was in school.
Emeryille, California January 25, 1899
Unfortunately Archie Stewart did not live to manhood. He died a few months after this letter was written in a ranch accident. His mother was heartbroken and wondered how she could go on, but she did.
The following note was also found in the Stewart letter file.
Questions for Document 2
1. Based on these letters to her son, how do you think Mrs. Stewart felt about her children? Why do you think she sent them away to school?
2. Is the advice she gives her son in the second letter, good advice for anyone of that age? Why or why not?
3. How did Mrs. Stewart manage to run the ranch?
4. Who was Hiram Wiser and how did he help Helen? (If needed, refer to Reading 2.)
Document 2 was excerpted from the collections at the Nevada State Museum and Historical Society.

Texas is a long way across, and the state allows speed limits of up to 85 mph on its most remote stretches of highway. The Texas Highway Patrol last year wrote 3,726 citations for drivers traveling a speed of 100 mph or more.
In July, the Minnesota Department of Public Safety ticketed 21 motorists for driving more than 100 mph. One driver was going 135 mph.
Continue Reading Below
More than 300 drivers in Chicago clocked in at 40 mph or more over the posted limit in 2010.
We are a nation with a heavy right foot. But some of us have feet made of lead.
Not all speeding tickets are created equal. The heavier that lead foot gets, the more severe the consequences. In such cases, your speeding fine will be the least of your worries.
Get tapped for a 100-mph ticket, and in many states you'll automatically face a reckless driving charge. Several states levy hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars in administrative fees and penalties.
And your insurer will react exactly as you'd expect: with a dramatic increase in your car insurance rates.
Speed increases the distance a vehicle travels before its driver can react to an emergency, and it increases the distance needed to stop once a driver can hit the brakes. And it greatly increases the amount of energy released in a collision. When impact speeds rise from 40 mph to 60 mph--an increase of 50 percent--the force generated increases by 125 percent, according to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS).
Speeding was a factor in 31 percent of motor vehicle crash deaths in 2009, the IIHS says. That's 10,591 deaths related to speed.
Fast times, big fines
It would be impossible to tell you how much any given ticket might cost you. It varies with the laws of the state, the jurisdiction within the state and even the mood of the specific officer who pulled you over.
In most states, the fee associated with a speeding ticket increases in proportion with the degree to which you are exceeding the speed limit.
At the low end, there is great tolerance. For instance, you may get off with a warning or a small fine if you're driving 52 in a 45 mph zone. Texas won't put any points on your license for infractions less than 10 percent over the speed limit, and insurers generally don't penalize you for a single minor violation. (See "Tickets that don't raise your insurance rates.")
Of course, it also matters where you speed. Keep yourself in check in school zones and construction zones, or expect hefty fines.
On the upper reaches of your speedometer, your wallet becomes fair game.
Georgia last year passed a law targeting "super speeders." Who is a super speeder? Anyone caught driving more than 75 mph on a two-lane road or 85 mph on a freeway. Those drivers get to pay an additional $200 on top of the speeding ticket fine (which can reach $1,000 all by itself). Tennessee is reportedly considering a similar law.
When speeding becomes something else
At a certain point, you're not getting a ticket for speeding anymore.
In California, if a driver is caught at a speed above 100 mph, the infraction becomes a misdemeanor and possibly a reckless driving citation, says Pete Moraga, spokesman for the Insurance Information Network of California. Being caught at that speed also results in an automatic suspension of the driver's license for up to 30 days, a stiff fine and 2 points on the driver's record. Four points in 12 months will also result in suspension.
Speeds that are de facto reckless driving include:
- Over 80 mph in Virginia, North Carolina and Hawaii
- Over 85 mph in Oregon, Connecticut and Arizona
- Over 100 mph in Minnesota and California.
Other states look at how much you're over the posted limit before labeling you reckless, ranging from 15 mph over the limit in Arkansas to 36 mph over in North Dakota.
In all states, your license can be suspended or revoked if you have enough points on your record or the offenses are severe enough. Some states up the ante by charging drivers with bad records an annual "driver responsibility fee."
At least four states--Michigan, New York, New Jersey and Texas--charge an annual fee to drivers with excessive points. In Michigan, drivers face yearly fees that range from $100 a year for seven moving-violation points to $1,000 a year for a DUI. Other states' programs are structured similarly.
Then there's the issue of being tossed in jail: Half of the states allow for jail time for speeding, with the maximum sentence ranging from three days in Nebraska and Washington, D.C., all the way up to a year in many others. In general, jail time is completely up to the judge in any particular case.
Higher speeds, higher car insurance rates
The nature of the offense determines the impact on your car insurance coverage, says Carole Walker, executive director of the Rocky Mountain Insurance Information Association.
"A higher-speed ticket often includes additional charges, such as reckless driving, that also carry higher points," she says. The citation "will likely affect your insurance premium and could even result in you losing your insurance, particularly with a preferred company that may consider you too high a risk."
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration estimates that the cost of speed-related crashes is more than $40 billion each year.
To get an idea of what a Dukes of Hazzard-quality ticket does to your car insurance premiums, we ran insurance quotes for a 23-year-old male driving a 2011 Honda CR-Z, comparing rates for drivers with no violations to rates for drivers with a single speeding ticket for 20 mph or more over the limit.
We also ran quotes adding a prior violation, assuming that if you just got busted for 100-mph-plus, it's probably not your first rodeo.
A single violation 20 mph or more over the limit is enough to move the needle in all five states we sampled, with increases in rates ranging from 14 percent to 44 percent. If we add a previous minor speeding violation to the mix, the jump is even more emphatic. A sample rate in Middleton, Ohio, went from $1,136 a year to $1,592, an increase of 40 percent. In Biloxi, Miss., the sample rate went from $1,918 to $3,014 a year, up 57 percent.

WATERFORD, Conn. - In a race that closed incredibly tight, MIT women's cross country flirted with a team victory before finishing fifth overall at the Connecticut College Invitational. The Engineers competed without their top two runners, yet still ended Saturday's competition only 36 points back of the host Camels, which took the team title.
Sophomore Jacqui Wentz continued a tremendous resurgence after battling first-year injuries and led MIT with a ninth-place finish out of 172 runners. Her split of 23:34 was nine seconds ahead of freshman Katy Gordon, who grabbed 12th overall with a time of 23:43. Junior Liz Labuz snuck through the 24-minute barrier as well, holding on for 19th place in a clip of 23:59.
Juniors Jennifer Doyle and Adrienne Bolger completed the scoring for the Engineers by finishing 36th and 37th, respectively. The Engineers do not race again until Oct. 6, at the New England Intercollegiate Championship at Franklin Park. The women's race is set to start at 12:00 p.m.

I know a lot of you guys are UKC people... but have any of you heard about AKCs deal with Petland?
Here is a petition to sign if you want.
Sorry I don't have more detailed info on it, I accidentally deleted it.
I will have to look up details later. Anyone else heard about it?
I have had quit a few AKC dogs over the years (not that it matters) and competed in a lot of AKC events... regardless... I have never been a big fan of the AKC.
I finally got Jamie's papers. I have not registered him yet. I am SERIOUSLY considering NOT! I need to talk to his breeder.
I am also considering not competing in any AKC sports... even though Vega is already competing in excellent in agility, after only 5 weekends. I was going to compete in obedience and rally-o too. Maybe carting if Amstafs are allowed.
But I feel pretty strongly about such a prominent registry is actually going to back, and support, pet stores... and therefore puppy mills!
What a slap in the face to responsible breeders! Health check, and sell to responsible homes, spay/neuter contracts... all the money they invest in responsibly breeding, titling, health screening, temperament testing, and loving their dogs. Now, because their registries are down, they are going to support puppy mills for their registry numbers?
Don't show and event entries cost enough? I know the obedience entries are down, but rally-o should be making up for that. And the agility trials and entries grow and multiply every year!
I wouldn't blame breeders for changing to other registries. I would compete in more UKC stuff if there were more... or they were closer.
What do you guys think?
Anyone herd about it or have more details about this deal?

A review of Club Industry's Chicago show
While the slogan for Club Industry 2000 was "Hotter Than Ever," "Bigger Than Ever" would have been more appropriate. Attendance and exhibit space were up over last year's show in Chicago.
Those who came to the show had an opportunity to check out products and services from 230 exhibitors. These companies took up more than 950 booths and 95,000 square feet. In fact, in terms of square footage, this was the largest Club Industry ever.
Club Industry 2000 was also a big success in terms of people walking the show floor. The show drew 7,485 attendees to the Windy City, approximately 700 more than last year.
And these attendees didn't just come from the Chicago area. The show drew people from all around the country - some who were attending for the first time, others who have been loyal attendees for years.
"In this industry, technology is always changing," said Pat Brown, owner of World Gym Fitness Center in Mishakawa, Ind. "To stay on the cutting edge, you've got to come to a place where you can find out about new equipment. That's Club Industry. This is our seventh year of running a 21,000-square-foot operation. We come every year for both the seminars and the trade show. We're also pleased to see new additions on Internet technology and group fitness. We think those will really take off."
Newcomers also spoke highly of the show. "I came to Club Industry to attend the highly informative seminars on Internet marketing and sales management," said Chris Brookes, general manager of Pinnacle Fitness & Training in Oklahoma City. "We're also looking at the latest elliptical training equipment. This is my first time at the show. It's simply awesome. Being here really gives you a step up on the competition."

STAGE TUBE: On This Day 12/4- BABY
Welcome to BWW's ON THIS DAY Series celebrating theatrical birthdays, openings and special events that took place on this day in theatre history!
Today in 1983, Baby opened at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre, where it ran for 241 performances. Baby is a musical with a book by Sybille Pearson, based on a story developed with Susan Yankowitz, music by David Shire, and lyrics by Richard Maltby, Jr.. It concerns the reactions of three couples each expecting a child. Lizzie and Danny are university juniors who have just moved in together. Athletic Pam and her husband, Nick, a sports instructor, have had some trouble conceiving. Arlene, already the mother of three grown daughters, is unsure of what to do, contemplating abortion while her husband Alan is thrilled with the thought of a new baby. Throughout the show, these characters experience the emotional stresses and triumphs, the desperate lows and the comic highs, that accompany the anticipation and arrival of a baby.
In celebration of this day, we bring you 'I Want It All' as performed at the 1984 Tony Awards. Click below to check it out!

Sept. 15, 2013
DURHAM, N.C. – Kristin Grubka's header in the 87th minute was the difference Sunday afternoon as No. 4 Florida State (6-0-2, 1-0-1 ACC) finished a tough trip to North Carolina with a 2-1 victory over No. 15 Duke (4-3-1, 1-1-0 ACC) inside Koskinen Stadium.
With the win, Florida State picked up its first win in the ACC this year and in the process its first-ever victory against Duke in Durham in 10 all-time meetings (1-5-4). The Seminoles finished a tough opening week in league play against two top 15 opponents with four big points.
"It is a tough trip," Florida State head coach Mark Krikorian said. "We knew coming up and playing at Wake and then at Duke would be very challenging games for us and they proved to be. It's another step in the right direction for this program to come up here and get four big points."
Grubka's goal came off a set piece after Duke was called for a foul just beyond midfield. Megan Campbell stepped up to take the free kick sending a beautiful ball into the 18-yard box. Grubka out jumped the competition to get to the ball lofting a soft header into the top left corner of the net for her first goal of the season.
"Earlier in the second half, Megan had a similar free kick that I flicked straight into the goalkeepers hands," Grubka said. "I was a little upset with that finish, so I was like `I have to do a better job this time.' Luckily I was in the right place at the right time and was able to get a good flick on goal."
"It was a really hard fought game," Krikorian said. "Today we were able to play some pretty nice soccer for long stretches through the course of the match. We showed great composure after conceding the goal to come back and equalizing quickly and then taking advantage of some of the set pieces that we had. Overall, four points on the road at this stage of the ACC season is a good start for us."
After a quiet first 15 minutes of the match, the two teams turned up the offensive intensity combining for 13 shots the rest of the first half with Duke taking a slim 7-6 advantage into the locker room.
The Blue Devils struck first breaking the scoreless tie behind a goal by Kim DeCesare in the 19th minute. Laura Weinberg sent a low cross from down on the end line back toward the top of the 18-yard box where DeCesare one-timed her shot into the lower right corner for her second goal of the season and a 1-0 Duke advantage.
The lead was short lived however as Berglind Thorvaldsdottir found the equalizer just 48 seconds later as the redshirt freshman forward blasted a shot from 20 yards out for her third goal of the season. Kelsey Wys began the scoring play as her kick went well past midfield. Dagny Brynjarsdottir was on the receiving end of the ball flicking a pass to her left as Thorvaldsdottir timed her run perfectly, receiving the pass and striking the ball into the upper left corner for the goal.
"I just tried to get the second ball from Dagny," Thorvaldsdottir said. "I faded out a little bit and then ran inside, took a touch to the side and then fired a shot with my left foot."
"Our kids responded very well after Duke scored that goal; heck of a finish by Berglind," Krikorian added.
It marked the first time this year that the Seminoles have come from behind to pick up a win having registered a tie against Oklahoma State after trailing 1-0 to the Cowgirls in the second half earlier this year.
"It showed a lot of character to be able to come back from a goal down on the road," said Grubka. "Having this experience will definitely help us down the road this year."
Duke had a great scoring chance late in the first half when Weinberg fired a shot from inside the left box that was blocked by the Seminole defense. Weinberg collected the rebound and found Kaitlyn Kerr, who was wide open, but the senior midfielder's shot went wide of the right post as the game remained tied going into the break.
Despite a sluggish start to the second half for the Seminoles, it was Florida State that recorded the first scoring opportunity as a header by Kassey Kallman, off a direct free kick from Campbell, went off the left post and off a Duke defender for a corner kick in the 51st minute.
Kerr put a shot on goal in the 56th minute following a Duke corner but it was easily handled by Wys for the save.
In the 64th minute, a header by Grubka following another Campbell free kick went right into the hands of Blue Devils keeper Ali Kershner for the save as the score remained tied at one.
Duke looked to jump back on top for the second time on Sunday but Wys made an outstanding diving save in the 84th minute on a blistering shot by DeCesare from inside the box on the right side.
"It was definitely a physical battle today," Grubka said. "We proved it out there that we can compete with a physical team. Getting a win today was huge and getting a tie on Thursday was huge too, so it was a good start to ACC play."
Florida State outshot Duke 13-4 in the second half and 19-11 for the match. The Seminoles also held the advantage in corner kicks at 6-3. Thorvaldsdottir paced the Garnet & Gold with three shots, while six Seminoles recorded two shots each.
Wys played all 90 minutes in goal on Sunday making two saves to pick up the victory in net.
Florida State returns home this week to face No. 1 North Carolina on Wednesday, September 18 in a game that will be broadcasted live on ESPNU. The match is scheduled to start at 8:00 p.m. The Seminoles will then host NC State on Sunday, September 22 at 1:00 p.m. in a match to air live on ESPN3.
Live stats for both matches will be available via gametacker. As always, Seminole fans can follow the Noles on twitter @FSU_Soccer and remember to like the Seminoles on Facebook (www.facebook.com/FSUSoccer) and Instagram (NoleSoccer).

If you're a kid, it's a cruel practical joke. For adults, it may save dinnertime and ensure adherence to bedtime.
The new Tethercell battery case fits around your garden-variety AA, and syncs with an app that lets you control battery usage. Tethercell went on sale this week on crowdfunding site Indiegogo for prices of $25 and up, with an estimated June delivery. On a practical level, the device could help consumers extend the life of their AAs. Devices won't draw power when they're designated as off, avoiding energy waste. The app also monitors battery life, helping users avoid a dead device at crucial moments.
But Tetherboard founders say the Tethercell's other purpose is to help parents control kids' devices, cutting off power when the magic "five more minutes" deadline has passed, or keeping kids to set schedules for use — as in, playtime comes after the homework is finished. (Co-founder Trey Madhyastha says the Tethercell has awarded him mythic powers at home: His kids are convinced he can turn any device on or off with his phone.)
That dual purpose is just as well. Battery-preservation tactics vary in their efficiency, says Andrew Eisner, director of content for Retrevo.com. "What's useful is more battery capacity," he says.
Senior consumer reporter and "Deal of Day" columnist Kelli B. Grant travels to Las Vegas to find the best, the worst, and the most hyped gadgets at this year's Consumer Electronics Show. Join her as she roams the exhibit floor for three days, with dispatches here and on Twitter @kelligrant.

Raw milk is a complete food that has not undergone any treatment like skimming, homogenization, pasteurization or ultrafiltration. It is a live food, and if stored properly and consumed within two to three days, it maintains all of its original nutritional properties: nutrients, vitamins, provitamins, enzymes and probiotic bacteria.
High-quality raw milk is rich in vitamins and bacteria that help improve the immune system of children and adults. Specifically, it contains vitamin A, important for sight, cellular development, antitumoral activity and immune defenses; and vitamin D, necessary for cellular activity, brain development, prevention of cancer and immune system development.
When milk is pasteurized, the vitamin content is partially reduced, especially in the case of vitamins B6, C and folic acid. Proteins are also altered, as are the fats, compromising the milk's biological value. In one study, pasteurization of mother's milk in preterm infants resulted in a reduced fat absorption, a reduced bone growth, and a reduced protection of neonatal infection.
A European study (PARSIFAL), conducted in 2007 by a team from the Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine in Basel, looked at 14,893 children aged between 5 and 13 living in rural areas of Austria, Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Switzerland, comparing the consumption of farm milk (raw or boiled) versus pasteurized shop milk. It showed that farm milk consumption was associated with a reduction in asthma (-26%), hay fever (-33%) and food allergies (-58%).
Furthermore, a more recent study published in 2011 (GABRIEL) investigated whether raw milk could make a difference versus boiled milk in the frequency of asthma and allergies. Selecting and analysing of 800 farm children the study shows that there is an additional protecting effect within the group of farm children who have been given raw milk. The strongest reduction was found in the risk of hay fever and asthma among the 'exclusive raw milk drinkers' (any unboiled milk). Just the boiling of the milk leads to a loss of the protective effect found in the exclusive raw milk drinkers.
The biodiversity of microflora present in raw milk also brings beneficial effects to raw-milk cheeses, which contain higher quantities of probiotic bacteria (Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lb. casei, Lb. plantarum) than cheeses made with pasteurized milk. Other studies have shown how cheese made from the milk of pastured animals, particularly those grazing in hilly or mountainous environments, contains many more "good" fats than cheese made from milk from intensively farmed, indoor-raised livestock. These good fats (like conjugated linoleic acid and omega-3s) help prevent cardiovascular disease and even arteriosclerosis. During pasteurization, these fats are almost completely destroyed. Omega-3s are often added to milk after pasteurization, but the result is significantly inferior than with raw milk from pastured animals.
Finally, in addition to the safety and healthiness of raw milk, it is worth remembering that raw milk is synonymous with respect for the environment and biodiversity, and is the best way to promote the work of small-scale herders and artisans who work mostly in marginal rural areas (mountains, hills, etc.).
Supporting raw-milk production means moving value from distribution to production, helping to differentiate supply and protecting consumers' right to choice.

This time one week ago, the Galaxy were training under dark, grey skies with temperatures hovering around 60 degrees.
The last two days, the sun has been shining brightly over The Home Depot Center, with temperatures in the triple digits.
But despite those differences, there is one constant between this week and last.
The Galaxy have the best record in MLS.
With just one month remaining in the regular season, Bruce Arena's squad sit two points ahead of Real Salt Lake for the league's best record, despite falling at home to New York on Friday night. Salt Lake are in action on Saturday night in New England while the Galaxy play just over 24 hours later when they take on Chivas USA in the second leg of the Honda SuperClasico.
A win or a draw will give the Galaxy their third straight SuperClasico title and their fifth in the six year history of the competition while also eliminating their rivals from postseason contention.
While that would be an nice ancillary benefit, the Galaxy players and coaches are focused instead on just playing better and moving past last week's loss to the Red Bulls.
With that goal in mind, the squad has gone through two full days of training and fitness work despite the heatwave that has hit the region. Two of the players that have been on the field each of the last two days are Gregg Berhalter and Omar Gonzalez, each of who missed the loss to New York.
Gonzalez was suspended for that game while Berhalter missed his sixth straight game because of a neck strain. Berhalter returned to training last week and could be in the squad for the first time since August 14, while Gonzalez is almost a certainty to be back in the starting lineup, a place that he has been for every league game that he has been eligible for since joining the Galaxy last season. In the four games that Gonzalez has missed this season in all competitions (two in the league because of suspension, one in the Open Cup and one in the Champions League where he was an unused substitute), LA are 1-3-0 and have been outscored 8-3.With Gonzalez once again returning and Berhalter on the road to recovery, Bruce Arena could have his full squad at his disposal on Sunday evening for the first time all season. As a result, the intensity has been as high as the temperatures over the last two days as guys look to catch the eye of the coaches and get themselves into the 18-man squad against Chivas USA.
Luckily for Bruce, the game is still five days (and three training sessions) away, giving him more than enough time to decide who will be in and who will be out come Sunday.

Introduction and Technical Specifications

The Z77N-WiFi is GIGABYTE's latest edition to the Mini-ITX lineup. Although the board is not as packed with features as some of the other enthusiast-minded mini-ITX boards, GIGABYTE did some interesting things with the board layout to space components out on the board more evenly. The Z77N-WiFi even comes standard with dual-Realtek GbE NICs and an Intel 802.11n-based WiFi mPCIe card. We put the board through our normal gamut of tests to see how well this mighty mite sized up with its full-sized brethren. The Z77N-WiFi board comes with an equally reasonable retail price at a mere $129.99.

The P8Z77X-I Deluxe is ASUS' high-powered answer to the small form factor crowd. Through some unique design decisions and an upright daughter-board, ASUS was able to cram a full 10-phase digital power delivery system into this board without sacrificing any other integrated components. It's nice to see a manufacturer step up and design a mini-ITX board in the same vein as its full-sized counterpart. We put the board through our normal gamut of tests to see how well this mighty Mini-ITX board sized up with its full-sized brethren. At a retail list price of $219, the P8Z77-I Deluxe needs to prove its worth against the full sized boards.
Courtesy of ASUS
ASUS designed a full 10 phases of digital power, housed in the board's upright daughter card sitting parallel to the CPU cooler. The P8Z77-I Deluxe with its high-end power plant is packed full of features, including SATA 2, SATA 3, e-SATA, USB 2.0, and USB 3.0 ports for storage devices. Networking capabilities include an Intel GigE NIC, a Broadcom dual-port 802.11n adapter, and a Broadcom Bluetooth adapter. The board also features a single PCI-Express x16 slot for graphics cards and other expansion cards.

It might be a little skinny but ASRock's Z77 Extreme4 can overclock
Subject: Motherboards | February 18, 2013 - 02:45 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Z77, asrock, Z77 Extreme4
ASRock has been steadily gaining popularity with system builders that want a balance between price, features and performance without sacrificing support or stability. At $120, the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 seems to fit the first criteria, the pair of PCIe 3.0 16x slots capable of handling two cards at 8x speeds, four SATA 6Gbps ports and a half dozen USB 3.0 ports meet the second. [H]ard|OCP tested the performance and stability of the board recently, getting an stable 4.8GHz overclock on their i7 3770K, demonstrating that even a value board can compete with expensive models. The sacrifice made was in the thickness of the PCB, it is much thinner than most motherboards and while [H] did not break the PCB they had a few stressful moments; drop by to read about them.
"While ASRock is a well known new comer in the motherboard market, we've not exactly been fans of ASRock products based on past experiences. ASRock's popularity grows and as a result we are taking another look at a motherboard from in the hope of understanding this popularity. Is it just price, or is there more to ASRock's offerings?"

The Z77X-UP7 board represents a new approach to the motherboard game for GIGABYTE - no holds barred. The board combines a larger than normal form factor with high-end digital power circuitry to build a product that packs a punch while not skimping on features. We welcomed the challenge that this board presented, putting it through the normal suite of benchmark and functionality tests to see how well it stacked up. The GIGABYTE Z77X-UP7's performance and features come with a price, as all flagship products do, with its $399.99 price tag still a hefty sum.

To power the Z77X-UP7, GIGABYTE used a 32+3+2 power phase design with every heat producing chip covered by a highly effective heat pipe cooling solution. GIGABYTE integrated the following features into the Z77X-UP7's design: SATA 2, SATA 3, and mSATA ports; support for 4 different networking types including an Intel GigE NIC, an Atheros GigE NIC, an Atheros dual-port 802.11n adapter, and an Atheros Bluetooth adapter; enough PCI-Express x16 slots for true quad-card support; and USB 2.0 and 3.0 port support.

Thunderbolt comes to ROG with the Maximus V Extreme
Subject: Motherboards | January 10, 2013 - 04:19 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: Z77, thunderbolt, ROG, Maximus V Extreme, lga1155, asus
The new ASUS ROG Maximus V Extreme board has a high standard to meet thanks to the performance of previous models of the Maximus Extreme series. Right off the bat you can tell this board is going to be popular with the enthusiasts as it sports five PCIe slots, capable of running at 8x, 16x, 8x, 8x if you populate four of them, with an extra 4x slot available for another card. For storage there are a half dozen SATA 6Gbps ports with an additional three of the previous version of SATA as well as a single mSATA port and for peripherals you get 10 USB 3.0 ports plus another four USB 2.0 ports. More important for some is the existence of a Thunderbolt port, a brand new feature for this family of motherboards. [H]ard|OCP gave this motherboard a Gold Award, read on to find out why.
"The Maximus V Extreme falls in line with ASUS' latest design philosophies and succeeds the older Maximus IV Extreme which was introduced during the P67 Express chipset days when the Core i7 2600K was the top end LGA1155 CPU. The last iteration of the Maximus was an absolutely incredible motherboard and like all ROG boards has big shoes to fill."

ASRock Z77 Extreme6/TB4 Motherboard Offers Thunderbolt with Discrete Graphics
Subject: Motherboards | December 11, 2012 - 10:34 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: asrock, thunderbolt, Z77
Over the past 6 months or so we have seen most motherboard vendors release a Z77 option with support for the latest Thunderbolt connectivity option. I did some initial testing on the ASUS P8Z77-V Premium motherboard and found that Thunderbolt was indeed impressive in terms of performance though it remained expensive and had a few hang ups.
One of those was the need to use integrated graphics when utilizing the DisplayPort pass through of the connection. Lucid was the first company to offer a solution thanks to their Virtu MVP software solution and GPU virtualization technology. I tested that and it worked pretty well, allow us to utilize the power of your discrete GPU with a monitor connected through Thunderbolt on the motherboard.
Well ASRock has a new motherboard out, the Z77 Extreme6/TB4, that promises to allow you to use discrete graphics by simply utilizing a DisplayPort connection on the graphics card itself.
Besides offering a pair of Thunderbolt connections, the motherboard claims to be the "world's only Thunderbolt motherboard supporting discrete VGA card via Thunderbolt port."
Essentially ASRock is taking the DP connection from the discrete graphics card, taking it into the motherboard through a DisplayPort input connection and then sending that back out the motherboard Thunderbolt header. More than likely this is simple electrical pass through and there isn't much or any logic going on to "trick" the system. It also raises concerns that the motherboard and display solution won't be officially approved by Intel. (We are all, after all, still waiting to see the ASUS ThunderboltEX to hit the market...)
Hopefully we'll get one of these new boards in soon to see for ourselves!

Firefox OS: Will Mozilla's Secret Sauce Be Enough?
Jun 20, 2013 5:00 AM PT
There's something eternally compelling about the ages-old story of David and Goliath, and it's one we've seen play out time and time again in modern form in the tech world.
We've seen Samsung's Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab surge in popularity to challenge Apple's iPhone and iPad, respectively; we've seen streaming music service Spotify and others grab market share away from Apple's iTunes -- to name just two examples. Today, however, we're witnessing a similar scenario in the mobile arena with the emergence of Firefox OS.
Can Firefox OS take on not just one but two industry heavyweights -- not to mention a raft of smaller contenders? Time will tell, but so far indications are looking good.
Promising Beginnings
Following its birth in 2011 via Mozilla's "Boot to Gecko" project, Firefox OS soon garnered support from Spanish telecommunications company Telefonica. Adobe, Qualcomm and Deutche Telekom threw their hats into the ring shortly thereafter.
In July 2012, the project was rebranded as "Firefox OS" -- positioning it with branding consistency directly next to Mozilla's most famous and popular open source project, the Firefox Web browser -- and during the 2013 Mobile Web Conference, Mozilla announced marketing plans for a global rollout, including manufacturing deals with ZTE, LG and Huawei.
In April, the first Firefox OS developer phones sold out almost immediately.
More recently, iPhone maker Foxconn jumped on board the Firefox OS bandwagon, announcing that it plans to make a line of tablets and smartphones using the open OS.
What is Firefox OS?
Like Android, Firefox OS is a Linux-based operating system designed for mobile devices, only applications are written in HTML5.
Three layers make up the OS:
- Gonk: A Linux kernel and user-space hardware abstraction layer;
- Gecko: An application run-time stack layer; and
- Gaia: A graphical user interface presentation layer.
As with other Linux-based mobile platforms, Firefox OS bootstraps into a Linux kernel and couples to a custom Gecko runtime ported to Firefox OS having the addition of a telephony stack and display frame buffer. With Gaia providing what the user sees, these layers integrate to provide for all intents and purposes a simplified Linux distribution.
What Makes Firefox OS Different?
During the late '90s, onetime Internet technology giant AOL's "walled garden" approach was ultimately rejected, and a major business contraction and downturn resulted for the company.
Many seasoned users today have cultivated a better understanding of smartphone technology, and while Apple's iOS walled garden does ensure better application curation, "tech savvy" users now tend to perceive Android smartphones as being more customizable, easier to use and less restrictive.
Of course, in terms of user expectations, if Firefox OS is going to garner market share, it needs to be competitive with both iPhone and Android smartphone offerings, including ease of use and customizability.
"Phone OS choice is seldom up to the consumer," Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group, told LinuxInsider. "The firms that make that choice are the carriers and phone manufacturers."
If Samsung were to use Firefox OS, for example, "they would likely put one of the most advanced and one of their most attractively priced phones on it, and either could attract consumers," Enderle said. "The OS itself is very like iOS and Android, so it would be the solution that would attract users, and the solution is up to the OEM."
The OEM Factor
There are plenty of reasons why OEMs might be attracted to Firefox OS.
For example, recall that Google owns and sells the now highly regarded and elite Nexus smartphone. It also owns Motorola Mobility, which has its own designs on selling smartphones running Android directly alongside Google's Nexus line.
The Nexus line is recognized as being "first in line" to receive any new major revisions and updates to the Android operating system. All other OEMs must wait, usually several months, to receive the same updates to brand to their own phones.
That puts Google at a distinct advantage in providing a more attractive purchase option.
OEMs that prefer to avoid dependence on Google now have Firefox OS as an alternative.
'Google Has Done a Poor Job'
Will Firefox OS succeed in a crowded market?
To be sure, it faces strong competition given its newcomer status and an already crowded market shared predominantly by Android OEMs and Apple's iPhone.
So, realistically, what are its chances for success?
"Actually surprisingly good," Enderle opined. "Google has done a poor job of protecting and nurturing their licensees, and they have also moved to doing their own hardware."
Microsoft's deal with Nokia, meanwhile, "creates similar concerns, and the platform has fallen short of expectations," he added.
So, "a Google-like solution from a friendlier, hardware-independent Mozilla is getting a lot of attention, especially from Samsung, which is Google's strongest and most-upset partner on Android," Enderle said.
Developer Interest
Of course, it's widely agreed that success in the mobile arena depends largely on apps, but Mozilla has made considerable headway there as well.
A Firefox OS simulator has been available for several months from Mozilla, and more recently developer phones materialized.
Two such phones -- from Spanish manufacturer Geeksphone, named the Keon and Peak -- are being circulated in the developer community, with the Keon model being characterized as close to an iPhone replacement.
As for the difficulty of writing applications, Firefox OS apps are HTML5-based, so experience with Web-based HTML5 application coding is comparable.
Firefox OS developers can also access Mozilla's Developer Hub to find all related programming tools, including the simulator, Firefox OS API documentation and technical support.
The Firefox Marketplace, where purchasers of said phones will find a growing list of Firefox OS apps, is already online and open for business.
'Yes They Can'
Can Firefox OS succeed in breaking the ever-strengthening grip of the Android/iPhone duopoly?
"Yes they can," wireless analyst Jeff Kagan told LinuxInsider. "The next few years is a great opportunity for them. Let's see if they can make it happen."
Mozilla's best chance at success may well hinge on sales to first-time buyers of smartphones who have not yet cultivated a sense for what makes one smartphone better than another, and who will find the Firefox OS easy to use and its feature set more than adequate.
Of course, "Mozilla doesn't have the funding that Google does, and much of their existing funding comes through Google, which suggests that -- should Google get upset with their effort -- they could be at some financial risk," Enderle cautioned. "Concerns about this risk are likely holding back some from adopting this platform."
'Relegated to the Lower End'
Vishal Jain, an analyst for mobile services at 451 Research, saw things a bit more pessimistically.
Firefox OS's chances for success are minimal, Jain told LinuxInsider, "since it is trying to compete with Android, and there are others like Tizen and Jolla vying with a HTML5-based architecture.
"Mozilla is rallying behind operators and trying to get them to roll out devices, and it is difficult to get all of the operators to agree on a standard," Jain added. "Even if they do, Mozilla is expected to be relegated to the lower end of the market."
Promising Beginnings
The bottom line? Any new technological undertaking of this magnitude, however good, comes with an attendant high risk of failure.
Of course, nobody could have predicted five years ago that Nokia would be in the difficult straits they face now.
So, there's as good a chance that Firefox OS will succeed provided they can react quickly and deliver a reasonably good product at an economically affordable price. By all accounts, they are off to a very good start.
