Outfest — the Los Angeles Gay and Lesbian Film Festival — is kicking off its 30th anniversary celebrations tomorrow night with a screening of Jeffrey Schwarz's "Vito" and a tribute to the one-and-only John Waters. What will follow is 10 days showcasing the best LGBT cinema of the past year, which — in something of a rare occasion — isn't simply one or two great films and then countless filler.
It's been a pretty exceptional year for LGBT films, and if you're in Los Angeles over the next little bit, Outfest is a pretty great opportunity to see why. Indiewire offers 13 best bets below, though there's also quite a bit more where that came from, so check out the festival's full program here.
"Cloudburst," written and directed by Thom Fitzgerald
"Cloudburst" comes nearly fifteen years after writer-director Thom Fitzgerald made his directorial debut with "The Hanging Garden." But unlike "Garden" – and most of Fitzgerald's subsequent films ("Beefcake," "The Event") – "Cloudburst" doesn't have queer male central characters. Instead, he offers up a good ol' fashioned lesbian road trip movie. The film stars Oscar winners Olympia Dukakis and Brenda Fricker as an American couple who decide head to Nova Scotia (where Fitzgerald is based) to marry after 30 years together, coming across a hunky hitchhiker (Ryan Doucette, in his first onscreen role). Given that synopsis, one might be inclined to dub "Cloudburst" a senior citizen version of "Thelma & Louise." But that would be reductive. The film has its own unique sense of humanity and humor that's handled gently by Fitzgerald. [Peter Knegt]
"Gayby," written and directed by Jonathan Lisecki
Expanding upon the hilarious short of the same name that hopped from film festival to festival two years ago, snatching up several awards, Jonathan Lisecki's "Gayby" is a tightly written hilarious romp of a group of New York friends who must deal with growing older. Matt, a gay man, and Jenn, a straight woman, are longtime friends who have decided that they want to bring a baby into the world, the old-fashioned way. What follows is a tender look at what happens to friendships when people get older and new friends and lovers come in the way. As evidenced in our FUTURES profile of him, Lisecki's always surprising and never tiring wit is a welcome addition to the film festival circuit. [Bryce J. Renninger]
"How To Survive a Plague," directed by David France and "United In Anger," directed by Jim Hubbard
It's something of a shame that two excellent documentaries about New York-based AIDS activism had to come out around the same time. But it's also something of a gift. Each unique in their storytelling and execution, David France's "How To Survive a Plague" and Jim Hubbard's "United in Anger" complement each other quite well. In their own ways, each film looks at the history and remarkable contribution of ACT UP (the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) — the AIDS activism group born in mid-1980s New York. Though comprehensive and powerful documentaries to be sure, collectively they still only represent a small fraction of the worldwide history of one of the worst epidemics — and greatest examples of resulting activism — ever. So see both films, and consider them mere introductions (albeit two harrowing, beautifully crafted introductions). [Peter Knegt]
"I Am a Woman Now," directed by Michiel van Erp
The glamorous women in Michel van Erp's feature documentary are some of the first women who traveled from all over to undergo gender reassignment surgery in the late 1950's and early 1960's in Casablanca. The women get together to gab about their life as some of the first modern day transsexuals, all worked on by the doctor Georges Burou. While not all of them have the same experience of life as a pioneering transsexual, they stand out in recent history as some of the only women who received this surgery without going through the stringent psychological tests to deem one a candidate for any procedure. [Bryce J. Renninger]
"I Want Your Love," written and directed by Travis Mathews
When Travis Mathews' online art porn short of the same name was released a few years ago, many (including our own Peter Knegt) were smitten with Matthews' subtle portrayals of gay hipsters getting intimate and having sex. After exploring these themes in documentary form with "In Their Room" (shot in San Fransisco) and "In Their Room: Berlin," Mathews' feature fiction debut is once again intimate and a true document of a group of men exploring love and sex through each other. [Bryce J. Renninger]
"Keep The Lights On," directed by Ira Sachs; written by Sachs and Mauricio Zacharias
Director Ira Sachs ("Forty Shades of Blue") paints a painfully realistic portrait of an epic relationship in "Keep The Lights On." Set in 1990s New York, the loosely autobiographical film follows a Danish documentarian (Thure Lindhardt) who falls for Paul (Zachary Booth), a closeted lawyer. Sachs charts what follows over a volatile ten year time frame, with each man struggling with their own private compulsions and addictions – often at the expense of their relationship. With strong performances and a thoughtful screenplay that defies convention, "Keep The Lights On" captures a poignant, raw love story sure to resonate strongly with audiences. [Peter Knegt]
"Mosquita Y Mari," written by directed by Aurora Guerrero
This Chicana coming-of-age movie follows two 15 year old girls in Los Angeles' Huntington Park: Good girl Yolanda (Fenessa Pineda), and her polar opposite Mari (Venecia Troncoso). As their friendship quickly develops, questions of sexual attraction arise in a slowly revealing, carefully constructed narrative from first-time writer-director Aurora Guerrero. Guerrero — along with her two lead actresses, who are both excellent — is definitely a name to watch, and this is most definitely a film to watch. [Peter Knegt]
"My Brother The Devil," written and directed by Sally el Hosaini
With her debut feature, Sally el Hosaini explores the lives of two Arab-British brothers who must contend with the competing values of the gang culture they're trying to prove themselves within and their intimate feelings and love. Resisting the cliches many like films fall for, "My Brother the Devil" is a complicated story of coming to understand one's own feelings and one's place within family. [Bryce J. Renninger]
"Struck By Lightning," directed by Brian Dannelly, written by Chris Colfer
Chris Colfer shines as a smart ass high school student intent on making an impact on his classmates, and doing this his way. The film, which debuted at this year's Tribeca Film Festival, was cause for me to say, "Just watch: Colfer will be one of the most interesting pop culture voices of this generation. I've been sure of this since seeing him co-present Jane Lynch with a lifetime achievement award two years ago at Outfest. His comic smarts far exceed what we've seen on the screen so far. "Struck By Lightning" is exactly what he needed to do. Get it, girl." "Struck By Lightning" will be an awesome closing night screening for the festival; it's full of smart quips and shellacked with all kinds of camp. [Bryce J. Renninger]
"Vito," directed by Jeffrey Schwarz
A new addition to the canon of great LGBT rights documentaries, Jeffrey Schwarz's "Vito" — which opens Outfest — is a passionate look at the life of Vito Russo. Russo is probably best known for the 1981 book about the representation of LGBT people in Hollywood, "The Celluloid Closet" (which was adapted into the 1995 documentary by Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman). But he was also a remarkable figure in the early gay rights movement, and the fight against AIDS (which he succumbed to in 1990). Using interviews with Russo's family and peers as well as wonderful archival footage, Schwarz gives Russo's legacy the documentary it deserves with "Vito." [Peter Knegt]
"Wildness," directed by Wu Tsang, written by Wu Tsang & Roy Rastegar
Wu Tsang's essay film about the party he helped through at LA's Latino bar The Silver Platter is definitely one of my favorite films of the year. Wu and his co-writer Roya Rastegar have truly made something special here, an incredibly powerful documentation of working to sustain culture, neighborhood institutions and neighborly fraternizing as young queer (often middle-class) people while fighting the more destructive aspects of gentrification. [Bryce J. Renninger]
"Yossi," written and directed Eytan Fox
Ten years after his 2002 film "Yossi & Jaggar," Eytan Fox offers up a sequel-of-sorts with the simply titled "Yossi." It plays like a sort of Israeli cross between Tom Ford's "A Single Man" and Andrew Haigh's "Weekend." Ohad Knoller reprises his role of the now singular title character, now an overweight, closeted 34-year-old doctor living in Tel Aviv. Still struggling with the tragic events that came at the end of the first film (spoiler alert: Jagger died), Yossi lives a sad, lonely life. But thankfully for Yossi, it gets better. After he randomly meets a group of young Israeli soldiers, "Yossi" gives us a hopeful second act set on an Israeli resort. A lovely little film about grief and aging and life's second chances, "Yossi" — a last minute addition to Outfest's program — should not be missed. [Peter Knegt]

Peters a Valuable Addition for Pens
by Sam Kasan / Pittsburgh PenguinsForward Warren Peters came to the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins with quite an impressive resume.
Peters, 29, has had a lengthy career, playing nine seasons of professional hockey. He's played in 96 NHL games and over 500 career AHL games. He's also participated in 53 AHL postseason contests, and was a part of back-to-back Calder Cup Final runs with the Texas Stars (2009-10) and Houston Aeros (2010-11).
That experience is one of many reasons why the Penguins signed Peters to a one-year, two-way contract on the opening day of unrestricted free agency.
The WBS Penguins have a high number of rookies and younger players on their roster. Adding someone with Peters' experience and leadership capabilities made for a perfect match.
"I can lend some experience to guys that haven't spent time in this league," Peters said. "Hopefully, help them out and give them some pointers. I want to be somebody that has been through it for someone who hasn't and help them along, whether it be off the ice, on the ice, dealing with the schedule, dealing with the intensity of jumping to pro for a rookie."
But the Penguins didn't sign Peters for the sole purpose of being a mentor. They signed him because he can play hockey.
"He's an excellent two-way player," WBS head coach John Hynes said. "He's had to earn his way the hard way to get to the National Hockey League. So he understands the little things in the game, how you have to practice the things you need to do to win hockey games and the things you have to do as a young player to be able to differentiate yourself going from the American Hockey League to the National Hockey League."
Peters may not fill up the scoresheet, but his play certainly has an impact. The Saskatoon native excels at doing all the little details that help win hockey games.
"I play a rugged, physical game," Peters said. "My game is built on character, blocking shots, killing penalties, taking faceoffs, playing in the hard areas. It's not really flashy. It won't be highlight-reel stuff, but I hope that at the end of the day it's effective."
And Peters' success speaks for itself. He chipped in eight points (4G-4A) and 56 penalty minutes in 23 playoff games to get Texas into the Calder Cup Final in '09-10. The following season his 12 points (4G-8A) and 16 penalty minutes in 24 postseason contests lifted Houston to the Final. Though his teams came up short both years, that back-to-back run is something Peters will never forget.
"The roll that you get on is phenomenal," Peters said of the experience. "Both places I was at, Texas and Houston, the bonds created with those guys is not something you'll ever forget. The relationships and adversity you had to go through to get to that point is big. Only a tight-knit group can survive. I can't say enough about the guys I played with on those teams. I have a lot of respect for them, the coaching staffs and organizations. It all builds into a run like that."
Peters played the past two seasons in Minnesota's organization. Peters learned under the Wild system, implemented by Minnesota head coach and former Penguins assistant coach Mike Yeo. Peters appeared in 58 games for the Wild and posted 54 penalty minutes, both career highs.
"I have nothing but respect for management and (the Wild) organization," Peters said. "I got a tremendous opportunity through them. I had ample opportunity to display myself as a player and grow. I played more NHL games than I've ever played in that organization. I can't thank them enough for that."
Yeo runs a system in Minnesota that is very similar to the one engineered in Pittsburgh. Peters' familiarity with the system has certainly helped with his transition to his new organization.
"Sitting down in the first meeting, the systems are almost identical," Peters said. "We had our first practice and it was all drills I had done with Mike (Yeo) on numerous occasions.
"It takes some thinking out of the game. You can just play and play at a high speed. Usually when you go to an organization you spend two, three weeks trying to break the game down. Sometimes you overthink it and get caught in quicksand. I felt from Day 1 that I could go at top speed and didn't feel like I was out of position."
It's a good thing he was able to hit the ground running, because the Penguins plan on utilizing his play quite a bit this year.
"He's a great faceoff guy, gritty and competitive," Hynes said. "He's a guy that we're going to look to use in important situations."

City of Galilee, Palestine, near Nazareth, the scene of Our Lord's first miracle (John 2), His cure of the ruler's son (John 4), and the birthplace of Nathaniel or Saint Bartholomew (John 21). The miracle of the marriage feast of Cana which has made the city forever famous, when Christ turned water into wine, was performed before His public life had fully begun, and is one of the best-authenticated of Our Lord's miracles. His attendance at the marriage feast has always been taken as setting His seal on the sanctity of marriage.

KHARTOUM, Sudan – Agence France-Presse | 4/6/2011 12:00:00 AM |
Foreign Minister Ali Ahmad Karti accused Israel of an airstrike a day earlier on a car on Sudan's Red Sea coast that killed two people.
Foreign Minister Ali Ahmad Karti accused Israel on Wednesday of an airstrike a day earlier on a car on Sudan's Red Sea coast that killed two people.
Karti's charge came as a number of Israeli newspapers spoke of the same thing, though there has yet been no comment from the Israeli media. "From yesterday, we have indications that the attack was carried out by Israel. We are absolutely sure of this," Karti told a news conference in Khartoum.
The minister said he did not know the reason for the attack, but that in recent days "there have been allegations from Israel that Sudan is supporting some Islamic groups." "This is not true. When Israel makes these allegations, it is trying to justify what it did yesterday."
In response to a question, Karti said he did not know the identities of the people who had been killed. He said they were just Sudanese citizens traveling from the airport. On Tuesday night, the head of the local state assembly said: "A plane bombed a small car which was coming from Port Sudan airport to the town ... There were two people in the car and both were killed. The vehicle was completely destroyed."
The unidentified plane, which struck at about 10:00 pm (1900 GMT), flew in from the Red Sea, to which it then returned, Mohammed Tahir said by telephone. In a statement on Sudanese radio, a police spokesman confirmed that a missile was fired at a vehicle 15 kilometers south of Sudan's main port city, killing two, and that a team had been sent to investigate. "IDF (the Israeli military) carried out an attack in Sudan" read the front page story in Israel's top-selling Yediot Aharonot. "Planes which approached from the Red Sea assassinated wanted men in Africa," read the strapline.
News of the attack was also carried on the front pages of Israel HaYom, a freesheet considered close to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, which billed it as "Liquidation in Sudan." It also appeared as a last-minute bulletin in the left-leaning Haaretz.
Israeli officials have in the past expressed concern about suspected arms smuggling through Sudan, whose government has close ties with Gaza's Hamas rulers. In January 2009, foreign aircraft bombed a convoy of trucks in eastern Sudan, near the Egyptian border.
U.S. and Israeli media reported that the trucks were carrying weapons to the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, to supply Palestinian militants during Israel's devastating three-week offensive against the territory. Sudanese officials claimed the convoy had been transporting illegal immigrants to Egypt.
Hamas has close ties with Khartoum and has long maintained a base in Sudan, where the group's exiled chief Khaled Meshaal is a frequent visitor. Speaking at a conference in Khartoum last month, Meshaal hailed the sweeping political changes in Egypt, which he said had given the Palestinian people their lives back, and called for renewed struggle against the Jewish state.
Just a few days later, a private Egyptian TV channel broadcast unconfirmed reports that the Egyptian army had shelled a convoy of vehicles laden with arms near the Sudanese border. The United States maintains a counter-terrorism base in Djibouti which has been active against al-Qaeda suspects on both sides of the Red Sea but its reported strikes against jihadist targets are all said to have involved drones.

Does Joe Cole already know he's going to the World Cup?
Midfielder spotted having 'celebratory drinks' after Japan game
As regular readers may have guessed by now, when it's not bashing out stories on the sexual adventures of obscure foreign football players or posting LOLeriffic videos, The Spoiler can be found draped over a bar stool somewhere in England's fashionable London, drowning its remaining braincells in [the cheapest available] beer.
It'll come as no surprise, then, that it was in a bar The Spoiler spotted Chelsea midfielder Joe Cole with his wife Carly Zucker and friends, near her hometown in east London yesterday evening. An esteemed, albeit slightly hungover, organ such as ourselves wouldn't like to speculate on the reason for their patronage, just hours after England fumbled their way to a 2-1 friendly win over Japan in Austria, but we will anyway – it looked mightily similar to a quiet farewell drinks do.
The debate over Cole's inclusion in Fabio Capello's World Cup team has held a monopoly on column inches in the run-up to the tournament. With the final 23-man squad officially announced tomorrow, ahead of the flight out to South Africa on Wednesday, has the Chelsea winger already been put out of his misery? Or is no-nonsense Capello too professional to let slip his intentions ahead of time? We'll find out tomorrow…

Social mobility and demographic behaviour: Long term perspectives
Date received: | 05 Dec 2011 |
Date published: | 09 Mar 2012 |
Word count: | 6000 |
Keywords: | behavior, demography, fertility, generation, marriage, migration, social mobility |
DOI: | 10.4054/DemRes.2012.26.8 |
Weblink: | You will find all publications in this Special Collection "Social Mobility and Demographic Behaviour: A Long-Term Perspective" at http://www.demographic-research.org/special/10/ |
Comments: We introduce a collection of papers that examine interactions between demographic behavior and social mobility via analysis of historical and contemporary longitudinal, individual- and household-level socioeconomic and demographic data. The authors originally presented these papers at "The International Seminar on Social Mobility and Demographic Behavior: A Long Term Perspective" held at the California Center for Population Research at UCLA in December 2009, and organized on behalf of the IUSSP Scientific Panel on Historical Demography. We convened the meeting as a means of promoting the use of historical demographic data to address a topic of contemporary relevance that has been the subject of much attention lately: how the inter-generational transmission of socioeconomic status and socioeconomic differentials in demographic behavior interact to shape patterns of inequality over the long term. The papers here focus specifically on relationships among fertility, marriage, migration, and social mobility.

Once upon a time fashion shows were seen by a small group of people in a tiny room. Today, however, live streaming, social networking and digital media have transformed the experience into a global marketing opportunity and, as a result, a new business sector – "show production" – has arisen to help brands optimise their moment.
It's understandable: even small shows cost about €100,000 each, and the average spend per runway is between €500,000 and €1m, with a handful of brands choosing to budget a few million (or more) – for just eight minutes. Return on investment is crucial.
What few people realise, however, is that behind the scenes of roughly 85 shows and events this season, spanning New York, London, Milan and Paris, are only three little-known industry power-players: Etienne Russo from Villa Eugénie; Alexandre de Betak of Bureau Betak; and Julie Mannion of KCD (which also has a communications department). In their hands is most of what the rest of the world sees.
They act as producer, art director, scenographer or choreographer. They can create an entire show concept or merely execute it; search and book venues; get sets, seating, lighting rigs, sound systems and backstage areas built; produce seating plans, satisfy security and fire regulations; instruct the models on how to walk in the "right" way; co-ordinate music and make sure the cameras get the money shots.
Russo, whose 35 shows this season include Chanel, Hermès, Céline and Dries Van Noten, has a permanent team of about 10, which swells to 40 during fashion weeks, moving from city to city. He has constructed an amphitheatre in a real forest under the dome of the Grand Palais (for Chanel), filled Manhattan's Gotham Hall 360 degrees round with an army of 385 models dressed in ski jackets (for Moncler Grenoble) and translated the wishes of Véronique Nichanian, artistic director for Hermès Mens Universe, for 15 years.
Similarly, de Betak says his role is "plurodisciplinary" and can include the four-day logistical challenge of hanging 1m fresh flowers on 300,000 stems on the walls of the salons of a Paris hôtel particulier with florist Mark Colle for Raf Simons' Dior couture debut. Bureau Betak, which has worked with Dior for 15 years, has offices in New York, Paris and Shanghai (where fashion shows, events and exhibitions are now a growing concern), a permanent team of 30 with 20 freelance fixtures, and is working on 15 shows this season including Dior, Michael Kors and Mary Katrantzou.
As for Mannion, now president, creative services at KCD, this season she and her full-time team of 11, as well as 30 freelance associates, will have orchestrated 32 events for clients such as Louis Vuitton, Chloé, Marc Jacobs and Versace from the KCD offices in New York, London and Paris. As Donatella Versace, who has worked with Mannion for more than 20 years, says: "During the fashion show, Julie is my boss."
In return for all this, Mannion and her peers command substantial fees of between €30,000 and €60,000 for a mid-range show, with success quantifiable via coverage in traditional, digital and social media.
A show can directly generate 10-12 per cent of a brand's seasonal magazine editorials, according to Visual Box, a Milan-based company that monitors 1,800 print publications across 25 countries for the luxury goods industry. However, it can also indirectly account for much more value. In the case of Chanel's fashion editorials last season, for example, assessed by Visual Box at €54m, a large percentage were made up of show "looks": clothing from the catwalk borrowed from the brand and photographed by magazines. In addition, the show generated 2.85 million page views on one website, style.com, within two days.
Which raises the question: who is really pulling the strings?

Rockaway has become a favorite site for shooting television commercials. A few weeks ago, Dunkin' Donuts shot a number of commercials on Beach 129 Street. Last week, a buffet chain called the "Golden Corral" restaurants shot a commercial at three locations - at the Belle Harbor Steak House on Beach 116 Street, Snug Harbor on Beach 108 Street and Harbor Light on Newport Avenue and Beach 130 Street. We wonder what allure Rockaway brings to the commercials, except for some beachfront shots, which don't seem to be on the schedule.
Now that JP Morgan-Chase has bought out the Washington Mutual Bank in the latest of commercial meltdowns, we wonder what that means for Beach 116 Street. As you already probably know, both banks have a branch on the shopping street, only a couple of doors from each other. The present WaMu chain is in the building that once housed North Fork Bank, which moved to a new location and became Capitol One Bank. In addition, there is a Citibank right around the corner in the Waldbaum's shopping center. You have to buy a scorecard to know all the players. Officials at Chase tell us that no decision has yet been made, but that it is clear that some branches of WaMu will be closed down.
Want to tell the MTA what you think about its subway lines? Officials of the agency were handing out rider report cards at Rockaway subway stops this week, asking riders to rate the A Line in a number of categories, including wait times, delays, security and service. The cards are then to be dropped into a mailbox for return to the Maryland PR company that will tally the results.
Most of us carry mobile phones these days, and those phones have lots of names and telephone numbers stored in memory. Emergency service personnel have sometimes used the phones to contact next of kin or family doctors. It's hard, however, to separate the wheat from the chaff, so a new recommendation is that everybody program in an emergency number, designating it by using three letters - ICE - to show that the number is the one to call in case of emergency. The idea was dreamed up by a paramedic who found a phone, but did not know what number to call. It's a good idea, and one that everybody who carries a cell phone should use.
The city's Department of Design and Construction is planning to begin a major construction project in Rockaway Beach. The infrastructure improvement will include new sewers, roadways, sidewalks, and curbs in the following areas: Beach 91, Beach 92 and Beach 94 Streets, from Holland Avenue to Beach Channel Drive; Beach 88, Beach 89 and Beach 90 Streets, from Rockaway Beach Boulevard to Beach Channel Drive; Beach Channel Drive from Cross Bay Parkway to Beach 88 Street; De Sota Road, from Cross Bay Parkway to Beach 88 Street; Gull Court, from Beach 89 Street to Beach 88 Street; Rockaway Beach Boulevard, from Beach 87 Street to Beach 94 Street; and Holland Avenue from Beach 90 Street to Beach 94 Street. DDC engineers are asking permission to check structures in that area to insure that they can take the pounding that the reconstruction will bring to the area.
The United States Postal Service put out an amazing statistic last week. With the advent of email and texting, and the growth of delivery services such as UPS and FedEx, the post office is becoming more and more irrelevant. Statistics show that more than onehalf of all the mail handled by the post office is direct mail advertising. More than half! Only a quarter of the mail delivered by letter carriers is first class mail. That's why the post office is fighting a move to allow people to opt out of getting what most consider "junk mail." "Efforts to convince people not to receive mail is really going to hurt," a post office spokesperson said.
Congressman Anthony Weiner plans to run for mayor whether or not the City Council approves extending term limits to 12 years from eight. "Anthony is running for mayor. He wants to offer a vision of how to fight for the middle class and those struggling to make it," a Weiner spokesperson said in response to a question relating to whether he would run if Bloomberg was in the race. Others, however, won't be quite so excited about battling Bloomberg and his billions. City Council Speaker Christine Quinn says that she is reserving judgment, and others who previously said they were interested in the job are pulling back.
A recent study shows that polling people by telephone may be skewing the poll results because it leaves out those who have no home telephones, preferring instead to use only a cell phone. And, since most of those who rely solely on cell phones are a younger demographic than those who use home "land-line" telephones, that means that fewer younger people are polled when that polling is done on land-line phones.
Seven years ago, the State Legislature, with the help of the Democratic majority in the Assembly, helped to kill the commuter tax, and New York City has been behind the eight-ball ever since. The tax, which impacts anybody who works in New York City, regardless of where she or he lives, was thought by many to be equitable based on the fact that those who worked here also used vital services such as fire, police, EMT, etc. Now, Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver says that the tax was not such a bad idea in the first place and that it should be reinstated.
Waldbaum's corporate office has responded to a story that The Wave ran two months ago, in which it showed a beer bong being sold in the local supermarket. The beer bong is used by young adults in abusing alcoholic beverages through binge drinking, experts say. "The funnels that you refer to were part of a vendor promotional campaign and were not sold to us directly. However, once we learned of the funnels, they were immediately removed from the shelves and the store manager was instructed to send all the remaining funnels back to the vendor," said Anke Kullenberg, VP of merchandising.

SMS120 brauchte ein neues Anderes Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 57 Designs von 18 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Spruce Mountain Skiboards, LLC
Spruce Mountain Skiboards is a small design and manufacturing company based in New Hampshire, U.S.A. Our skiboards are short snow skis that turn easily and yet are completely stable at high speeds. We are currently in need of a new graphic design for our 120cm skiboard. We sell through retail dealers on the Internet such as http://www.skiboardsonline.com that specialize in skiboards. Our products have been sold world-wide for the past eight seasons and have a reputation as being one of the best-performing skiboards on the market.
Target Audience
This design contest is for a new graphic for our 120cm length skiboard which we have been selling for the past five years. The typical person that buys and rides these skiboards is 30 to 65 years old and can range from first-timers on skis to people with many years of skiing experience. Many of our customers ride only on this product, and almost all ride only on skiboards.
Design Requirements
The topsheet graphic (top side of the skiboard) can be different on each ski (left and right). Text should not extend from one board to the other, however. The graphic on the top of each board should be right-side-up from tip to tail. (No mirror imaging.)
Because the demographic for this product is generally mature, we are looking for a fairly conservative design that wears well over time. Shock value in the graphics is not required, nor are design elements usually thought of as appealing to a younger demographic desired. Please, no bombs, guns, violence, naked babes, skeletons or skulls. Trees seem to be a popular theme in ski graphics, but at this point are somewhat overworked as are the take-offs on the Japanese rising sun. Examples of the range of good current skiboard graphic design can be seen here even though a few of the designs don't meet all the criteria of this contest: http://www.skiboardsonline.com/Merc…=skiboards
Skiboard graphics tend to avoid emphasizing the length of the board unlike many Alpine ski graphics. The brand for this design is "Spruce" and the model name is "120". The brand name design should go only on the bottom of the boards in two colors and run lengthwise on the board. It should be the same on both boards. An example on one of the Revel8 brand boards is here: http://www.skiboardsonline.com/Merc…rvl8_emp06
The model name "120" shouldn't be overly prominent in the topsheet graphic. It can be somewhat integrated into the graphic as it is in the Revel8 "Condor" model here: http://www.skiboardsonline.com/Merc…_large.jpg
Requirements for colors are that they stay interesting to the customer over time. If customers are excited when they first see the graphic design, that's good, but if they are then tired of them after two months, that's not good.
We require Adobe Photoshop files for the topsheet graphic and Adobe Illustrator for the base graphic.
The three graphic designs, (two topsheet and one base) should each fill a rectangle 125cm long by 15cm wide. During manufacture, the graphics may be misaligned to one side or another or toward one end or another by as much as 0.7cm, so the designs will always bleed off around the edges of the skiboards and should not have critical design elements close to the edges.
Our website is: http://www.spruceski.com
A dimensioned drawing of the skiboard has been provided.
This contest is blind as it's the first we've run at 99designs. We will post additions to the design brief as they become necessary.

The Florida Panthers and No. 1 overall draft pick Aaron Ekblad have agreed on a three-year entry-level contract.
Panthers general manager Dale Tallon announced the deal Wednesday, eight days before Ekblad will begin competing at Florida's annual camp for prospects. Ekblad was the Ontario Hockey League's top defenceman last season, with 23 goals and 53 points.
Tallon says Ekblad "is a talented, strong, smart and hardworking defenceman who is ready to take the next step."
Ekblad also attended Hockey Canada's world junior summer development camp last month, his stay there ending early because of a concussion. Ekblad was held out of the rest of that camp for precautionary reasons.
Florida's prospects camp begins a week before the start of Panthers' training camp, the first under new coach Gerard Gallant.

With Opening Day about nine weeks away, Yankees shortstop Derek Jeter engaged in baseball activity for the first time since breaking his left ankle last October.
Jeter, the 38-year-old 13-time All Star, took batting practice and fielded 55 grounders at the team's minor-league complex in Tampa, Fla., the Associated Press reported. "Everything went well," Jeter said.
The Yankees fully expect Jeter to be ready for the opener on April 1 against Boston. He fractured his ankle diving for a ball in Game One of the American League Championship Series against Detroit. When he underwent surgery on Oct. 20, the team indicated his recovery time would last four to five months.
Jeter is undertaking his spring-training preparation early, as is his custom. Pitchers and catchers report on Feb. 12. The rest of the roster convenes on Feb. 17.

Ruined Wedding Night
As a wedding gift my maid of honor booked a a room for the Groom and I to relax and enjoy after the reception.
They secretly packed us a bag, and brought a comfy outfit for us to change. Fortunately, because how embarrassed we would have been in our wedding attire when the clerk failed to read the details of the booking and turned us away. Not before offering us a room at a rate higher then the original booking.
Needless to say the romantic evening our friends had planned for us went down hill quickly. I feel terrible for my maid of honor, because she worked so hard to help us plan such a beautiful note and her gift to us was ruined by a careless clerk. I would not recommend scheduling an evening for anyone other than yourself because the hotel acted like it was not a big deal since they weren't charged. Very unprofessional!!
slotsa are t-i-g-h-t!
like it, but when you go 5 times in a month and lose every time. Something is wrong with this picture. Machines very very tight. No wonder they are losing business. I here people complaining all the time and will not be back.
This place is the worst of the worst! I can honestly give this review because My wife and myself have been patrons of this casino for the last several years, on a weekly basis on Saturday nights. When it first opened it was called Casino Aztar, we had tried it once in the beginning and did not care much for it. At the time in Metropolis Illinois,we had been playing at Players casino, Merv Griffin owned it, GOD REST HIS SOUL... It was a GREAT PLACE.
I tell all of you this because we have been Players in the area since casinos have come into our area that are drivable distance, not requiring an over night stay. Just trying to give you some back ground here folks. Now that we've established we're players now lets get on with my HONEST review of this casino Tropicana formerly casino Aztar.
In 2007 I had told casino host employees that we would be patrons to only their casino, looking back that was a BIG MISTAKE. Players casino had sold to Harrah's in Metropolis Illinois, and it was ok until they banned smoking on the boat. Having the bad habit, and not wanting to leave a slot to go outside to have a smoke, not fun in cold weather, we went to Evansville, it was casino Aztar then.
We never had any luck, other than breaking even, after hours and hours of play, it was fun for awhile, but it seemed they would never cut loose for us. We won a couple of times, small amounts, but after years up there, NEVER NOT ONCE A JACKPOT PERIOD did we win, remember there is two playing.
Now I don't want to come off like we're high rollers because we're not, we played responsible and could afford too. Several hundred a weekend many times more. I got to know all the employees, and after years of breaking even or losing every Saturday night we went up there, I started to complain.
That started last year, coming from a military background I went through the chain of command so to speak. The ones I spoke with we're sympathetic to my concerns, but more less their hands were tied.
And they know longer have JOBS there, including the previous GM Ward Shaw.
Then I called the corporate office and tried to speak to Mr. Tony Rodio CEO, only thing, you can only can leave a message, but I know they're heard, because I received call backs from Evansville.
They gave me a song a dance as always, and said your luck will change. LOL
That must have been infuriating to them that I would take that step, but as an old Airborne Soldier I wanted to get their Attention. And I DID. On Saturday November 1st 2014 I went in loaded my comp play in to one progressive slot and popped it off, by the way I only hit the Max play button.
That night I was ready for action, went to the bar proceeded to knock back my favorite double Jack with a splash of water and glass on the side. After many, shamefully I don't know how many, my wife came to the bar and was ready to eat.
So we were on our way of of the casino when one of the big wig employees walked in front of me, and I told him to get the blank out of my way... MY BAD.. It's OK it was time to go, and long over due.
So we had walked to Mama Mia's to have some dinner, and here comes the Calvary four of them, casino security, long story short I was asked to leave, and while leaving I was giving them my pent up frustrations all the way out the door.
I could go on and on about this casino, and what I've observed there. They do have some good things going for them, and I've told them this. Their restaurants are not bad, and they have good entertainment in the Hoosier lounge on weekends. If your into that, we went to play period.
For consistent Players if I can leave you anything here, it would be to watch out for signs of what we've experienced over the last several years their. I knew going in that Aztar was rated very badly, hence the re-branding under the corporate name Tropicana, and in my opinion it has become worse.
They have resorted to giving away pots and pans luggage and other cheap junk to bring in traffic, I told my wife I find it hilarious, because you see many come in and get it and take it right out the door immediately, and we all know who's paying for that huh?
I know we should have hit the door much sooner, but we like to get out of town on the weekends, and have a little fun. Truly I can tell you this, as far a winning we'd been better off to just have stayed at home and played scratch offs in our state lottery, seriously.
To sum up this review if you go up there, keep your mouth shut, and when you hear them announce over their PA systems "WILL YOU BE OUR NEXT LUCKY WINNER" Keep your fingers crossed.
PS. Their is a good ending kind of, Harrah's casino in Metropolis Illinois, our previous place is coming off the water and is opening up it's new digs on November 19th 2014. We were up their this past Saturday November 8th. And you know what, my wife hit pretty good. So goes the gambling.
Also over the years we patronized Aztar, ie. Tropicana never, ever did a host call us for anything.
Harrah's DID.
TIGHT VERY TIGHT SLOTS PERIOD.. HOPE THIS HELPS... those that might become regulars.
Change for the worse.
I have been going to this casino for about 4 years now and have always enjoyed my experience there...that is until my last visit. First, overcharged for the room. Then the girl checking us in was very rude. We just asked if our room was ready and she gave us attitude.
When room was ready, found that the bathroom was not cleaned. There was a wet wash cloth still on the floor and bathtub was dirty. Took a while for housecleaning to come and clean the bathroom after complaining.
But I was there to gamble. Normally all dealers are very friendly, but this time there were two or three dealers that were just flat out rude. I was having a bad run of luck on the blackjack table and left for about 30 minutes and came back. The dealer then looked at me and said "well looks like this table is jinxed now". Walked away in disgust.
Then went to play 6 card poker. Never played before so watched others play and looked for any rules on the table. After I felt comfortable with the rules, I started playing. Dealer turned up my hand and then berated me for not putting cards in proper order. So now I am supposed to do the dealers job? And if he had been nicer about it, would not be a big deal...but he just expected me to know that is how I am supposed to present the cards.
Before this incident I always had a good time at this casino. Could be just one bad night. Will come back again just to see, but if the experience is anything like this one, count me out.
Just be wary.
Hit it big
I was playing blackjack recently at the $5 min table and after about 4 hrs of playing I found myself up over 3grand. The pit boss,casino mgr and another person came to my table and "froze" the table. All cards were thrown away all chips were colored up and the whole table was removed from the floor with every dealer. All new table,chips,cards and dealers were brought in and I couldn't even get a push. The dealer hit blackjack 6 times in a row. Like it states everywhere the house always wins and if they don't they will change things around so they can win.
Bad Blackjack and Smokey!!
Have been to the casino numerous times over the last several years. And am always amazed at this casino, and all casino's, continuing corporate greed in allowing the continuing deterioration of their tables games to the detriment of every one of their table game casino patrons. In specifically their blackjack game(s). This casino used to offer very fair double deck and 6 deck blackjack games, but those days have long since been part of history. Most all of us gamblers understand that the house needs to begin with an edge to operate with a profit in this kind of business. But with the current blackjack offerings at this casino I will use a football analogy to describe the overwhelming edge that the casino currently operates under with these games....Prior to 2008 if you played blackjack at this casino, it would be like playing a football game in which your team would begin down 3 points. Currently with the "newer" rules, your team would start that same game down 10 to 14 points! Come on now...please!! Shame, shame. shame. Also, has to be the smokiest casino I have ever been into in my life! Marlboro is making a killing both literally and physically at this casino. Years ago I was playing here and began a conversation with a chain smoking female who looked like her better days of health were long gone. Upon further conversation, she informed me that she had just completed her last round of chemotherapy, for treatment of lung cancer, the week prior. And here she was at a casino, on deaths doorstep, chain smoking her ass off along with other candidate for death!
Advise? NEVER play blackjack in this casino. And be prepared to suffer breathing in at least the equivalent of a pack of smokes per hour.
I have been to this casino many times over the years and have spent thousands there.My win / loss ratio has been about 15 % / 85 %. The casino is clean and well maintained. The contest winners are like the slot winners, few and far between . They have a 3 drink maximum on the casino floor.I have been cut off numerous times and did not act the least bit drunk..Tips talks.....Like the song says"so many lose , so few win ". That has been my experience at Aztar...Good Luck !
Customer Service
My daughter, who works full time, goes to college at night, has three children, two of which are under the age of 3 yrs, finally after securing sitters, saving money to go to Aztar, went to the concert at the hotel with her husband and friends. She has not been able to go anywhere and was so excited to go to Evansville to your casino. After the concert, she and her friends started to go to play at the casino and she was not allowed in, the man at the desk said she was drunk! She had a few beers, but she was with her friends from grade and high school and she was very excited. They fool around a lot (always have) and they were teasing each other coming down the hall by kicking at their feet. Mind you, I have seen them do this numerous times, they are so glad to be together. Anyway, she never got to go to the casino. Her husband and friends got in. It was explained to her that they didn't want her to spend her money when she had been drinking. I can tell you she didn't have that kind of money to start with and never spends over what she takes with her. Her father and I have gone to your casino numerous times through the years and dropped a lot of money there. I am very disappointed and she was heartsick to go back to the room and sit while her friends had fun. If this is the way you treat people and I can understand if they are actually drunk, then we don't want to come down anymore.
First Casino I ever went to
This was my first casino I have ever went to. I love this place!!!
The atmosphere was always great and people were always having a blast!. The bar right before you enter the boat always had great entertainment to get you in the mood for anything.
I only play slots and had my ups and downs there. But overall it was a great place to go and play. Drink service was always good, and their food there was great also.
Players club always sent out great offers and was always trying to get you back there, one thing I really like about this place.
casino aztar
Very clean and entertaining.

In other action
At its Tuesday meeting, the Craig City Council:
• Approved, 7-0, a second 60-day emergency moratorium on all new medical marijuana dispensaries.
Councilor Ray Beck said the city had no choice but to issue another moratorium because officials were waiting for further information from the city attorney.
City staff plan to submit a draft ordinance to the city Planning and Zoning Commission to review at its next meeting at 5:30 p.m. at Craig City Hall, 300 W. Fourth St.
Mayor Don Jones, who sits on planning and zoning, said the commission would be unable to reach a final decision next week but could probably approve something by the end of November.
The Council would then make a final approval in December.
City Attorney Kenny Wohl also said he now believes the city could force existing dispensaries to obey any new zoning regulations imposed on them with regard to the time, place and manner of the business' operation.
For instance, the city could regulate hours of operation, enforce setback distances from schools and other public buildings and require certain security measures.
However, Wohl added he does not think a court would allow the city to forcibly move an existing business if it did not meet location requirements. Specifically, city officials discussed the Craig Apothecary on Green Street, which is close to a public park and a day care.
• Discussed the introduction of a proposed noise ordinance that would enable city officials to deny noise permits. The ordinance is expected to return at the council's next meeting for first reading.
• Heard from Robert Ralston, of Steamboat Springs-based Robert Ralston & Associates, about his plans to remodel the City Hall basement.
The Council began discussing a remodel project last year.
Ralston said the main idea behind remodeling the basement is to turn what was once a jail for the Craig Police Department into office space, mainly for the parks and recreation department.
Diagrams presented at the meeting show a new reception area off the main foyer, a remodeling conference room and several new offices.
He added he plans to publish the drawings today for contractors to bid.
City Manager Jim Ferree said the city plans to use $100,000 of its own and $200,000 in Colorado Department of Local Affairs grant funds to pay for the project.
• Approved, 7-0, a special events permit for the Craig Chamber of Commerce's annual Crabfest, planned for Oct. 24 at the Boys & Girls Club of Craig.
The Craig City Council was split in its endorsement of a social host ordinance, but concern about underage drinking convinced the majority of city officials to support the proposal.
The City Council approved, 4-3, the first reading of an ordinance that would make it a municipal crime to provide a place for underage drinkers to consume alcohol.
Mayor Don Jones and councilors Jennifer Riley and Joe Herod voted in opposition. Councilors Byron Willems, Ray Beck, Gene Bilodeau and Terry Carwile voted in favor.
The ordinance must be approved on second reading at the council's meeting Oct. 27 before it is official.
Each of the council members who voted against the ordinance said they were not convinced it would curb underage drinking.
Riley said the ordinance still requires law enforcement to prove a person provided minors with a place to drink beyond a reasonable doubt, which might make it extremely difficult to prosecute someone.
"I wholeheartedly agree that we should take action to deter underage drinking," she said. "When my sister and I were in high school, there was actually an undercover officer in school, and he was doing investigations into alcohol and drug abuse. I would be in favor of something like that."
Jones and Herod said they thought current laws may be enough.
Several local residents, at least one of whom lives in Steamboat Springs, addressed the council before its vote. No one in the audience spoke against the proposal.
Marci Marumoto, 33, said a social host ordinance would accomplish its goal if one local parent decided against providing a place for minors to throw a party and drink.
"I have a 17-year-old niece, and I know how these kids are drinking," she said. "Taking their keys away may keep them from driving, but it does not prevent a kid from being a binge drinker and going to the (emergency room) to have their stomach pumped."
Another woman said parents seem to have no problem buying alcohol for teenagers in town because they've done it before and know nothing will happen to them.
Matt Beckett, Moffat County Grand Futures director, said there are statistics from counties in other states that show both emergency room visits and arrests for driving under the influence decreased after social host laws went into effect.
Craig Police Chief Walt Vanatta also addressed the council in favor of a social host provision.
Although the ordinance would not change how police investigate underage drinking - for instance, officers would have to get a search warrant to enter someone's home - it allows them to attack the issue from one of the sources.
Adults who provide alcohol to minors are not that different from businesses that sell to minors, the chief said.
"I see a potential for a really mixed message from the council that we take a strong position on not selling alcohol to minors, but we're OK with people giving them a place to consume it," Vanatta said.
He referred to the council's decision earlier in the same meeting to deny one of five liquor license renewals on their agenda.
Safeway, which applied to renew its 3.2 percent beer liquor license, was denied because it was cited for selling alcohol to a minor in 2008, and no one from the store was there to explain what steps were taken to keep illegal sales from happening.
During the past two years, the council has denied liquor license renewals for businesses that previously violated liquor laws and do not personally attend city meetings concerning their license.
Safeway was one of four at the meeting that was cited last year for selling alcohol to a minor during an undercover Craig Police Department operation. Law enforcement sent minors into stores and ticketed those who sold alcohol.
Other businesses applying for renewals that also were cited in the same operation were Kum & Go, OP Bar & Grill and Fiesta Jalisco. All of those businesses had representatives present.
The council also renewed the license for Dark Horse Liquor, which was not cited last year for violating liquor laws.

Dec-30-2012 17:04TweetFollow @OregonNews Medical Marijuana: Doctors and Patients as Reefer Madness VictimsDr. Phillip Leveque Salem-News.comDr. Phillip Leveque is a Professor of Pharmacology.
(PORTLAND, OR) - I had hoped that Oregonian reporter Noelle Crombie had run out of 'bad' incorrect things to say about Oregon's very successful medical marijuana program, but she continues with more vehemence than helpful information. The December 30 2012 Oregonian headline was, 'Fast-Track Pot Cards' which is totally false with two pictures of one of the foremost marijuana doctors in the state if not the nation. Dr. Thomas Orvald is a retired heart surgeon with about 3,000 successful heart surgeries including 20 complete transplants under his belt, but now one of the most successful, prominent marijuana doctors. She had precious little good to write about him. Crombie doesn't say so, but at least 3,500 physicians have signed applications for about 56,000 patients. I presume the inference is that we are all corrupt and bad. Among these "pot doctors" are 37 who have signed for 450 or more patients which is another bad sign. Ms. Crombie's assertion, that the procedure is fast-tract, is totally absurd. It is not only very arduous for both physician and patient, but after that it still costs more than $200 in two or more months to get the permit card from the state office. She makes several other false statements as well. She fails to state the conditions set up by the Oregon state Dept. of Human Services (DHS) for which a patient can get a permit. These are, stating for the largest number and current statistics: severe pain - 56400; multiple sclerosis/spasms - 15,211; severe nausea - 8355; cancer - 2253; epilepsy - 1425; Cachexia - 1096; Glaucoma - 900; HIV/AIDS - 776; Alzheimer's - 64. For all of these diseases, the patients say that marijuana gives better relief than any of the standard pharmaceuticals. Crombie says none of the marijuana doctors is a specialist in addiction treatment or pain management. We marijuana doctors know that marijuana is better and safer than morphine-like drugs, Valium-like drugs, or anti-depressants. Addiction doctors treat those patients but not marijuana patients. Medical marijuana was never planned to be specifically for critically ill patients dying from cancer or HIV/AIDS, as she remarks. Crombie states that doctors should discuss the risks and benefits of the drug. This is foolish. Most patients know well the benefits and that the risks are miniscule. Doctor Rick Bayer, a medical marijuana advocate, was one of the first legal patients for medical marijuana and he assumed other doctors would wake up and approve. He himself does not sign up patients! He says, "Leveque, you treat the patients and I'll do the political stuff". Doctor Alan Bates, an Oregon state senator, and osteopathic physician, has signed a few applications. He might be surprised to know that at least 200 osteopaths, including several of the high signing doctors, are marijuana doctors. Doctor Orovald, the subject of this article, like most other marijuana doctors, uses previous doctor's diagnoses, drug history records, before signing applications. The Oregon Medical board is behind charging medical doctors with allegations of unprofessional conduct, repeated negligence, and keeping inadequate records, and have revoked several marijuana doctor's licensees. They have hired guns, not members of the board, who are paid large amounts of money to stage these usually unsubstantiated charges. It appears they make these charges against random doctors usually in one-man clinics, because they know that a single doctor does not have the finances to combat them. MOST DOCTORS VIOLATE SOME PARTS OF THE LAW!________________________________________ Dr. Phillip LevequeDr. Phillip Leveque has degrees in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology,Before any of that, Phil Leveque was a Combat Infantryman in the U.S. Army in WWII. He suffers from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder more than 60 years after the war, and specialized in treating Veterans with PTSD during his years as a doctor in Molalla, Oregon.

pmdesc - print out version and whatis description of perl modules
Given one or more module names, show the version number (if known) and the `whatis' line, that is, the NAME section's description, typically used for generation whatis databases.
$ pmdesc IO::Socket IO::Socket (1.25) - Object interface to socket communications $ oldperl pmdesc IO::Socket IO::Socket (1.1603) - Object interface to socket communications $ pmdesc `pminst -s | perl -lane 'print $F[1] if $F[0] =~ /site/'` XML::Parser::Expat (2.19) - Lowlevel access to James Clark's expat XML parser XML::Parser (2.19) - A perl module for parsing XML documents
This only works on modules. It should also work on filenames, but then it's a bit tricky finding out the package to call the VERSION method on.

Top 10 Technology Terms to Know for 2009
While terms such as DHCP, SSL and OSI Model frequent the Webopedia Top 15 tech terms list throughout the year, when it comes to computer and Internet technologies only one thing is certain — technology trends (like everything else) come and go with the changing tides. Terms that will make — or continue to make — headlines in the coming year are not necessarily "brand new" technologies, but are those technologies. like the Android Platform and netbooks that gained traction in 2008, and new developments will move them to the forefront of hot technologies for 2009. Here are the top technology terms and related references that we expect to be hearing more about this coming year: |

4G (define)
4G, which is short for fourth generation, is an ITU specification that is currently being developed for broadband mobile capabilities. 4G technologies would enable IP-based voice, data and streaming multimedia at higher speeds, compared to 3G.
This IP-based and packet-switched evolution of 3G technologies (such as WCDMA, HSDPA, CDMA2000 and EVDO) that uses voice communications. A number of technologies considered to be 4G standards include Long Term Evolution (LTE), Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB) and the IEEE 802.16 (WiMax) standard.
Some consider 2008 to be the unofficial start to the 4G era, as Sprint ups efforts to create a nationwide WiMAX network with its $14.5 billion Clearwire joint venture, however with so much attention being given to WiMAX, one misconception out there right now that 4G is WiMAX, and that is not true. There is, in fact, no definition of 4G yet, but there are goals that the ITU is working towards.
4G: Here It Comes, Ready or Not (PDAStreet)
Three major operators in the Indian subcontinent have already begun WiMAX 16e rollouts - Tata Communications and Bharat Sanchar Nigam Ltd. (BSNL), the incumbent, in India, and Wateen Telecom in Pakistan.
Sprint's Xohm Becomes 'Clear', Timetable Shifts (Earthwebnews.com)
The turbulent economy may slow down Sprint's closely watched efforts to create a nationwide WiMAX network.
Who's Ahead in the 4G Race? (Datamation)
In the race to 4G that's heating up between two competing wireless networking standards, it would be foolish to dismiss the Long Term Evolution (LTE) standard as the longshot against its better-known rival, WiMAX.
Android (define)
Android (also called the Android Platform), was officially unveiled in November of 2007, but it really hit the news in the latter half of 2008 as the first "Android Phone" debuted in September 2008. Android is an Open Handset Alliance Project based on the Linux kernel, but the platform itself was originally developed by Google (dubbed Google's Android by the media). This open and free software stack includes an operating system, middleware and also key applications for use on mobile devices, including smartphones.
Will Android Handset Be T-Mobile's Killer Device? (internetnews.com)
Wireless carrier will market Google open source smartphone by year's end.
First Android Phone to Debut Next Week (PDAStreet)
The first phone to run on Android-run smartphone will debut next week, at a joint press conference between T-Mobile and Google in New York.
Google Unlocks Android for Developers (PDAStreet)
On Friday Google announced an unlocked version of its Android operating system that doesn't require T-Mobile service and takes any SIM card, so it can be used with service from any GSM carrier worldwide.
clickjacking (define)
The Internet just wouldn't be the Internet without malicious vulnerabilities. While Trojans and malware are rampant, a new type of malicious code made its entry this year — and unfortunately it is only going to be more common and infect more Internet users in 2009.
Clickjacking (also called clickjack or clickjack attack), is a vulnerability that is used by an attacker to "collect" an infected user's clicks. The attacker can force the user to do all sort of things from adjusting the user's computer settings to unwittingly sending the user to Web sites that might have malicious code.
You Could be Getting Clickjacked (internetnews.com)
If you're not careful about where you click, you could become a victim of a clickjacking attack.
On Security, Cisco "Shocked" in 2008 (EnterpriseNetworkingPlanet)
Cisco today revealed its take on the current state of IT security. The major trends? Vulnerabilities are on the rise, with blended and virtualization attacks becoming increasingly the norm.
Cloud Computing (define)
Dell, IBM, Sun, Microsoft, Amazon and many others are all doing it this year. Cloud computing is a type of computing that is comparable to grid computing, relies on sharing computing resources rather than having local servers or personal devices to handle applications. The goal of cloud computing is to apply traditional supercomputing power (normally used by military and research facilities) to perform tens of trillions of computations per second.
To do this, Cloud computing networks large groups of servers, usually those with low-cost consumer PC technology, with specialized connections to spread data-processing chores across them. This shared IT infrastructure contains large pools of systems that are linked together. Often, virtualization techniques are used to maximize the power of cloud computing.
There are many people out there who believe the term cloud computing is just another buzzword that is used to describe too many technologies, making it confusing to many. The term Cloud computing has been used to mean grid computing, utility computing, software as a service, Internet-based applications, autonomic computing, peer-to-peer computing and remote processing. When most people use the term, they may have one of these ideas in mind, but the listener might be thinking about something else.
Regardless if you share this view or not, you're bound to hear more on cloud computing in the coming year.
Sun Lays Out Cloud Computing Strategy (internetnews.com)
The company built on the notion of network computing finally gets into the hot buzzword technology of 2008. But will it help reverse Sun's fortunes?

Legal experts say the company is liable to lose the first time it tries to enforce the trademark.
Why 'Cloud Computing' Is for the Birds (ITChannelPlanet)
The "cloud computing" buzzword has got to go. It's simply too confusing, misleading, redundant and dangerous.
FDE - full-disk encryption (define)
Short for full-disk encryption, FDE was introduced in 2006 as new hard drive technology from Seagate that performs encryption on the disk drive at the hardware level. The hard drive contains an ASIC chip that is used to encrypt every bit of data as it is written and also decrypts data as it is being read. The drive requires a user password for authentication and it is secured with strong encryption technology. Seagate's FDE technology is transparent to the user and independent of the operating system.
Earlier this year the National Security Agency, the cryptologic intelligence arm of the U.S. government, qualified Seagate Technology's Momentus 5400 FDE.2 hard drive for use in laptops and other computing devices deployed by federal agencies and contractors. This makes Seagate the first hard drive maker to have received the agency's nod of approval, which signifies that the drive meets national security standards for securing sensitive information.
This year full-disk encryption (also called whole disk protection) further made news when security vendors started releasing whole disk protection software, like PGP who unveiled a Mac OS X version of its Whole Disk Encryption 9.9 security software. This is definitely a trend that will continue and grow in 2009.

PGP Locks Up the Mac (internetnews.com)
Security vendor adds whole disk protection for OS X.
Hitachi's 'Monster' of a Disk (internetnews.com)
Monster-sized laptop now possible with introduction of new Laptop disk by Hitachi.
geotagging (define)
Also called geocoding, geotagging is the process of assigning geographic location metadata to a photos' EXIF data (which normally would only contain details about the digital camera being used to take the photo). The geographic information can include details such as the latitude and longitude coordinates or city and state details for the geographic location of the photo.
The cool thing about geotagging is that the EXIF data can be read by programs that can allow you to see maps of where a photo was taken. Geotagged photos, when shared online, can also be linked to several map services including Google Maps, Microsoft Virtual Earth, Yahoo Maps and other applications enabling others to pin photos to a map precisely at a place they where taken.

To use the GPS software in the BlackBerry Bold to embed a photo's location in an image file, first enable Geotagging.
Review: Eye-Fi Explore (Wi-FiPlanet)
Eye-Fi, the wireless photo memory card that lets you automatically upload pictures from your camera to a computer or Web site over Wi-Fi networks, is such a cool idea. And the execution isn.t too shabby either, although we encountered a few bumps.
microblogging (define)
The terminology and technology associated with online blogs just doesn't seem to end. Hitting the big-time in 2008 is microblogging — the capability to update your blog with short text updates, using your PC or text messaging-enabled cell phone. Bloggers can usually use a number of service for the updates including instant messaging, e-mail, or Twitter. The posts are called microposts, while the act of using these services to update your blog is called microblogging.
Also, social networking sites, like Facebook, also use a microblogging feature in profiles. On Facebook this is called "Status Updates".
Watch for more services and for current microblog sites to get even bigger in 2009.
Twitter Nation (Newsweek)
Microblogging is huge, but should anyone care?
Open-source microblogging site may become Twitter fallback (ars technica)
A new open-source social web service called identi.ca challenges the conventional approach to microblogging and offers some potentially significant advantages for end users.
Netbook (define)
Netbooks are small portable computing device, similar to a notebook, and are great for surfing the Web and checking e-mail. What differentiates a netbook from a notebook is its physical size and computing power.
A netbook typically has a small display, ranging from 7 to 10 inches. It weighs under 3 pounds, and support a keyboard that is reduced in size from 75 to 80 percent when compared to a standard keyboard. Netbooks have build-in Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB ports and slots for flash memory cards. To keep the devices small and compact, netbooks do not have a CD or DVD drive, and most use solid-state disks (SSD) for storage.
Netbooks commonly run Linux or Windows XP Home edition operating systems. Prices for netbooks range from $200 to $350 USD.

The Secondary Payoff to Intel's Cool Chips (internetnews.com)
The high-k metal gate breakthrough of early 2007 doesn't just mean cooler desktop and laptop processors. It opened the door to whole new markets for Intel.
SSD - Solid State Disks (define)
Solid state disks are all the rage, and for good reason, too. These high-performance plug-and-play storage devices contain no moving parts and their own CPUs to manage data storage, so they are a lot faster than conventional rotating hard disks.
SSD components include either DRAM or EEPROM memory boards, a memory bus board, a CPU, and a battery card. They are most effective for server applications and server systems, where I/O response time is crucial. Data stored on SSDs should include anything that creates bottlenecks, such as databases, swap files, library and index files, and authorization and login information.
While laptops and the mobile market in general was the best launching point for SSD, in the next year we will see SSD in desktop PCs, with solid state drives expected to gain ground in the enterprise.
Gearing Up For Solid State (EnterpriseStorageForum)
There is a new storage technology on the market, but it's really an old technology with a new twist: SSD drives made of flash memory.
Intel Sees Gold in Solid-State Storage (internetnews.com)
Solid-state drives have become a big priority at Intel -- enough to get Gordon Moore himself involved.
SSD's Next Home Could Be Enterprise Storage (internetnews.com)
Notebooks were a logical place for solid state drives, but desktops are not the next stop for the hard disk replacement technology.
Ubuntu (define)
Ubuntu is a community-developed Debian-based Linux operating system that can be used on desktops, laptops or servers. The operating system includes a variety of applications including those for word processing, e-mail applications, Web server software and also programming tools.
Ubuntu is free of charge, including enterprise releases and security updates. It also comes with full commercial support from Canonical. Ubuntu is also available in both a desktop and server edition.
In the second half of 2008 Ubuntu 8.10 was released, making this one of the most popular Linux distributions. With all the hype surrounding this stable Ubuntu release, it looks poised to be even more popular in 2009.
Networking with Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows (LinuxPlanet)
Though Ubuntu can see the shared files and printers of Windows machines out-of-the-box, Windows can't see Ubuntu shares by default. However, don't give up yet and purchase another XP or Vista license; you can have Ubuntu 8.04 and Windows talking in no time.
Safe Surfing With Ubuntu (LinuxPlanet)
Ubuntu is a Debian-based distribution that is probably the most philosophical of all Linux distributions, which is saying a lot in the Open Source space.
Ubuntu Popularity: Blessing or Curse? (LinuxPlanet)
For an increasing number of people, Ubuntu is GNU/Linux.

Tyranny is rising. The examples we have seen from the 20th century by Hitler's Nazi Germany, Stalin, Mao and other despots are surfacing in America today. The police state starts out by throwing the book at selected groups like liberty lovers and veterans, pot smokers and gun owners alike. Children are being abducted by the nanny state as the tyranny escalates. History demonstrates that the tyranny does not stop at these groups but soon every citizen falls victim to police state terror. The police state isn't coming, its already here!

text: Got new pair of Lacrose Alphas last year and while scouting some new property the other day I got tangled in some old barbwire. Man I was sick as I cut a small slit about 1/4 inch long on the top about 2 inches from the toe. Paid like $110 for these and love them so can someone PLEASE tell me I can fix these. I thought about an old tire patch, I mean as a boy we would repair tubes so why won't it work in this case? Anyone that knows please give me some good news. Thanks!
