A global community at home in Henrietta
A. Sue Weisler
With campuses in Croatia, Dubai and Kosovo and other international partnerships, RIT has a prominent global footprint. But it's clear from one look around the home campus that the one with the most international flavor is right here in Henrietta.
This year, 1,831 students—nearly 10 percent of the student body—are international. They hail from 109 countries, from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Most, nearly 600, are from India, followed by China, Saudi Arabia and the Dominican Republic. While international students study abroad primarily for the education—the U.S. is recognized as the world leader in quality higher education—most absorb much more. For RIT students, that includes winter, Wegmans and watching hockey.
Came to RIT to study engineering…
Srinivas Sridharan, a computing and information sciences Ph.D. student originally from Chennai, in southern India, came to RIT in 2009, after completing undergraduate studies in India, to study electrical engineering.
"Students want to come to the U.S. because it has become a tradition," Sridharan says, citing extended family members and friends who preceded him to America.
But despite having cousins and other relatives in the U.S., acclimating to life in America wasn't always easy. The most challenging adjustments initially, Sridharan says, surrounded food choices, driving rules (switching to driving on the right-hand side of the road, for example) and day-to-day tasks (including getting accustomed to shopping in big-box stores such as Wegmans).
"I would not say it's 'culture shock,'" he says, "but there are always cultural adjustments that you have to make. I'm still learning every day."
And Rochester winters?
"That's the biggest shock," says Sridharan, who was warned by a classmate about the sometimes harsh winter weather. "He said, 'The winter's very bad—but don't worry…you will live to see the spring!'"
…and became a 'student' of hockey
A nice thing about winter, though, especially at RIT, is hockey.
A fan of cricket, the most popular sport in India, Sridharan's only previous exposure to ice hockey had been from movies (such as The Mighty Ducks). But like many on campus, he got caught up in the whirlwind of excitement—and soaring school spirit—surrounding the RIT men's hockey team's trip to the NCAA Frozen Four tournament in 2010.
He began regularly attending games, and learning the sport's intricacies, the following season. "It's a fast-paced game. I like games that are really fast. I still cheer for RIT!"
Sridharan expects to eventually return to India. Along with his RIT degrees, he'll carry a newfound love of hockey and fond memories of watching games in sold-out, high-energy Ritter Arena. "That's something really interesting that happened to me at RIT."
A national trend and economic driver
As RIT and other U.S. colleges and universities have expanded their reach recently to embrace prospective international students, 723,277 came to the United States in 2010–2011—the highest-ever number and up almost 5 percent over the previous year, according to the Institute of International Education. Nationally, most foreign students—almost one in four—are from China.
International students contribute more than $21 billion annually to the U.S. economy, the institute says, with business and engineering the most popular fields of study. New York state hosted just under 79,000 international students this year—the second-highest in the nation to California.
Among master's institutions, RIT ranks eighth in the nation for the most international students, with almost two out of every three enrolled in graduate studies. RIT's total international-student enrollment rose by about 12 percent over a year ago, says Jeffrey Cox, director of RIT's International Student Services. The increase is part of a decades-long trend.
"We've seen nearly 50 percent growth from five years ago and 160 percent growth from 20 years ago," Cox says.
'Home away from home'
Even in a community of more than 21,000 students, faculty and staff, it can be isolating being the only student from one's native homeland—true for 37 students who journeyed solo to RIT this year.
"Being the only one from Czech Republic, I feel I need to excel and leave a good impression on people because I know they will associate it with other people from my country," says Jan Dvorak, a second-year new media interactive development major and International House president. "It forces me to learn English very well and go out and explore."
"I-House," as International House is known, is home—in a true sense—to many international students. One of RIT's "specialty houses," it brings together students with diverse cultural interests to share dinners and other activities.
Another student making the transition is first-year photo major Daniela Solera, from Costa Rica.
"At the beginning, it was hard because it's a different culture and you miss the people you're used to being with. But you start meeting people and making friends, so they make it easier. It has been a great experience!"
Joining one of many RIT clubs devoted to different cultures helps students—no matter how many miles away from home—feel at home. And RIT's largest multicultural student organization, Global Union, encourages interaction among all ethnic groups on campus.
Sridharan says the substantial Indian community, in both the U.S. and Rochester (including the India Community Center in Macedon and the Hindu Temple of Rochester) helped him adjust to life far away from home.
And although nothing beats mom's home cooking, RIT Dining Services tries to make international students feel at home by featuring Asian, Dominican, Indian and Pakistani vendors, along with occasional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mediterranean, Moroccan and other ethnic entrées—correlating with some of RIT's larger international student populations. The Market at Global Village offers an array of international foods.
"Each dining location takes pride in educating customers on cuisines from around the world and providing them the opportunity to try new and exotic foods," says Stephen Kingston, Dining Services executive chef and manager. "We continuously work with and receive feedback from international student groups regarding the success of special international menus and future menus."
Patty Spinelli, executive director, adds, "Food is often the way we celebrate life events, and through the diversity of food, students, faculty and staff come to understand cultures and traditions."
That's international flavor you can taste. You can see, hear and feel it, every day, all across one small 1,300-acre pocket of the globe…in Henrietta.

For the latest on what went down inside the elevator, watch "CNN Spotlight: Beyonce" at 10 p.m. ET on Friday.
(CNN) -- Overprotective sister? Underprotective husband?
No one knows what was said amongst Solange Knowles, Jay Z and Beyonce in that elevator in the Standard Hotel in Manhattan or even what led up to the video that appears to show Solange kicking and hitting her brother-in-law.
But here is what we do know: the Internet is on fire with theories.
Earlier this week, an elevator surveillance video surfaced that showed Solange appearing to berate Jay Z before she becomes physical. Her sister, Beyonce, is present and witnesses the attack.
The incident has inspired a hashtag, #WhatJaySaidToSolange, countless memes and tons of speculation.
Quoting an anonymous source, Us Weekly reported that Solange Knowles had an earlier run-in with designer Rachel Roy. (Roy is the ex-wife of Damon Dash, Jay Z's former friend and business partner.)
The New York Daily News, also using an unnamed source, took it one step further. In addition to the alleged argument with Roy, the paper threw in Jay Z's supposed desire to head solo to a party being given by Rihanna. This, according to the Daily News, did not sit well with Beyonce's younger sister.
Talk show host Wendy Williams also offered her own observations, including what appears to be the removal of a tattoo on Beyonce's finger of the roman numeral "IV." It was reportedly her wedding ring tattoo, meant to symbolize both her wedding date (April 4) as well as her and Jay Z's birthdays (September 4 and December 4, respectively).
So far, some of the principal characters seem to be letting Instagram speak for them. Beyonce has posted happy pictures of her and her sister, while Solange participated in "Throwback Thursday" with a picture of the two siblings as kids.
Even Dash has gotten in on the photo game, posting an old picture of Solange with a group and the caption: "Forgot about this one @ava_dash @atrak and solange ... I am actually impressed with her independent spirit... She seems like a fighter #festivallife."
The mystery continues.

Serious Entertaining: '90s Themed Dinner Party
As a girl who spent her formative adolescent years in the 1990s, I grew up wearing scrunchies, throwing Nerf footballs at my brother, and listening to the Smashing Pumpkins when my older, cooler cousins told me to. The decade was good to me, and one worth celebrating always and forever. (And how did it take me this long to realize that all of My So-Called Life is available on Netflix Instant?!?) Herewith some ideas for a '90s-themed dinner party; very minimal nutritional value involved.
Ranch Dressing
Italian dressing was feeling like the king of dressings, sitting pretty on grocery store shelves—until Ranch came along and smacked it down. Ranch dressing overtook Italian as the nation's best-selling salad topper in 1992, according to Hidden Valley, which is actually a real place in California—a dude ranch near Santa Barbara—where the white, creamy potion of buttermilk, herbs, and other mysteries was born.
Every fridge in the 1990s contained a bottle of Ranch at all times, right? Wasn't that a law in most states? Some kids didn't even know what vegetables were without a squeeze of Ranch on top. And with it came Cool Ranch Doritos, Ranch Wavy Lay's, and a universal acceptance of such dunking traditions as wings in Ranch and pizza in Ranch. Remember the Simpsons episode where Homer is blasted by a Ranch dressing hose?
So, every '90s-themed party should have a bowl of Ranch. [Note: I detest Ranch, but if I did throw this fantasy party, it would have to be present.]
Or, if you're too lazy to make it from scratch, buy Hidden Valley »
Big Dogs
Everyone had a dad, brother, uncle or boyfriend (or, for all the males reading, YOU) who owned a Big Dogs T-shirt right? Remember them?
"If you can't hit with the Big Dogs, stay off the field!" .. "Talk to the Paw" .. or the classic "BITE ME." So unearth those faded tees from the deepest recesses of your T-shirt drawers, wear them, reminisce over all the brilliant Big Dogs adages, and eat big hot dogs.
25 Hot Dog and Sausage recipes for the grill »
Pearl Jammies
You could play Pearl Jam the entire party, and still not even begin to complete their entire discography. As a tribute to one of the greatest rock bands of the '90s, eat these super chewy Oatmeal Jammys from The Treats Truck cookbook. Feel free to fill them with any jam you so please. Extra credit for pear jam!

Fox News Hosts Embrace Immigrants Now That The GOP Needs Them
Research ››› ››› HILARY TONE
In the wake of the Mitt Romney's loss in the 2012 presidential election, Fox News personalities are urging the Republican Party to reach out to Latinos and immigrants. But these same figures have spewed anti-immigrant rhetoric for years.
News Corp. Chairman Murdoch Urged GOP To "Embrace Hispanics"
Rupert Murdoch: "Republicans Have To Ignore 5 Per Cent Nativists And Embrace Hispanics." In a November 8 post to his Twitter account, Rupert Murdoch, the chairman and CEO of News Corp., Fox News' parent company, encouraged Republicans to ignore "5 per cent nativists" and embrace Hispanics as well as the "best Asian and European graduates."
[Twitter, 11/8/12]
After Years Of Demonizing Immigrants, Fox News Figures Flip Flop On Immigration
Sean Hannity "Evolved" On Immigration After Romney Loss, Endorsed "Pathway To Citizenship." Host Sean Hannity said on his November 8 radio show that he has "evolved" on immigration and endorsed a "pathway to citizenship":
HANNITY: We've got to get rid of the immigration issue altogether, it's simple for me to fix it. I think you control the border first, you create a pathway for those people that are here. You don't say "You've got to go home." And that is a position that I've evolved on. Because, you know what, it just -- it's gotta be resolved.
The majority of people here -- if some people have criminal records, you can send them home. But if people are here, law-abiding, participating for years, their kids are born here, you know, it's first secure the border, pathway to citizenship, done. Whatever little penalties you want to put in there if you want, but then it's done. But you can't let the problem continue. It's gotta stop. [Premiere Radio Networks, The Sean Hannity Show, 11/8/12]
But Hannity Has Demonized Past Legislation and Repeatedly Promoted Anti-Immigrant Voices
Hannity: The DREAM Act Is "Basically Amnesty." Hannity attacked the DREAM Act, federal legislation that provides a path to citizenship for young immigrants who meet certain requirements, likening it to "amnesty" on his Fox News show in December 2010. [Fox News, Hannity, 12/8/10, via Media Matters]
REPORT: Hannity Led The Anti-Immigrant Charge on Fox. From April 2010 through June 11, Media Matters found that Sean Hannity hosted 112 guests to discuss immigration, of which 83 (or 74 percent) were classified as anti-immigrant. [REPORT: In Immigration Coverage, Fox Shuns Pro-Immigrant Voices, 10/27/11, via Media Matters]
Laura Ingraham After Romney Loss: "The Language Of Dealing With Latinos Has To Be Changed." On the November 7 edition of Fox News' America Live, Fox contributor Laura Ingraham told host Megyn Kelly that "the language of dealing with Latinos has to be changed" in a discussion about how the GOP needs to "move to the center" on issues like immigration. [Fox News, America Live, 11/7/12, via Media Matters]
But Ingraham Decried "Amnesty" And Smeared Immigrants With False Claims
Ingraham: 12 Or 13 People Are "Killed Under DUIs By Illegals" Per Day. On the June 6 edition of The O'Reilly Factor, guest host Laura Ingraham claimed that 12 or 13 people a day are "killed under DUIs by illegals":
INGRAHAM: A lot of these people just say, you know, look, my kids' school has crowded classrooms. Our health care costs are still ballooning. We just had this case just a few months ago in Chicago -- this guy wasn't deported. He ended up running over a 66-year-old insurance salesman -- 66-year-old man dead because this illegal immigrant was not reported to ICE, and he was never deported. We have people killed all over this country. Girls raped, little baby girls raped in Escondido, horrible story over the last six months. What do you say to those families?
ROCHA: I say to those families that you are talking about just a small portion of the immigrants who are here.
INGRAHAM: Doesn't feel small to the mother whose daughter was raped by an illegal immigrant, does it?
ROCHA: That's right. That person should be deported and should be dealt with by every extent of the law.
ROCHA: Let's be clear that we have 12 million immigrants that are in this nation. There's going to be a small portion of that just like a small portion who are here legally, who were born here -
INGRAHAM: Right, but the point is, they were born here. And crime is crime. But when people weren't supposed to be here in the first place, that crime would have never been committed. Isn't that the case?
ROCHA: That is the case to a certain extent.
INGRAHAM: No. To a -- that is the case. Is it not?
ROCHA: No, no. No, it's not the case. We have a broken system.
INGRAHAM: So the people -- the 13 or 12 people a day who are killed under DUIs by illegals -- those people would be alive if our immigration laws were enforced. [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 6/25/12, via Media Matters]
Ingraham Questioned George W. Bush For Promoting "A Mass Amnesty For Illegal Immigrants." As a guest host on The O'Reilly Factor on February 3, 2011, Ingraham devoted a segment to the divide between George W. Bush and the Tea Party on the issue of undocumented immigration, asking "why did he recently attack a key priority for many Tea Partiers? Namely, getting our borders under control and preventing a mass amnesty for illegal immigrants." [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 2/3/11, via Media Matters]
Bill O'Reilly After Romney Loss: The Republican Party Needs To Figure Out What Message Will Be "Accepted By Black And Latino Voters." On Geraldo Rivera's November 7 radio show, Fox host Bill O'Reilly shared his suggestions for how the GOP should court black and Latino voters:
O'REILLY: The Republican Party has to figure out what message in their philosophy is going to be accepted by black and Latino voters. They have to get a message to them. And they haven't done it. [Cumulus Media Network, Geraldo, 11/7/12, via Media Matters]
But O'Reilly Has Repeatedly Smeared Immigrants
O'Reilly: "The Constitution Is Being Misused" By The Parents Of "Anchor Babies." On The O'Reilly Factor in January 2011, O'Reilly attacked birthright citizenship, stating:
O'REILLY: Then there are the anchor babies born to illegal aliens on American soil. Under the 14th Amendment they automatically become citizens. Think about it: Do you think the country wanted that when it ratified the 14th Amendment in 1868? Of course not. That amendment was designed to make sure that free[d] slaves got citizenship. Now it's used to encourage foreigners to sneak across our borders to give birth. Thus the Constitution is being misused. [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 1/6/11, via Media Matters]
O'Reilly: The "Intrusion Of The Illegal Alien Problem" Is To Blame For California's Budget Issues. On The O'Reilly Factor in November 2011, O'Reilly scapegoated undocumented immigrants during a discussion of California's budget shortfall, asking guest Stephen Moore about the "intrusion of the illegal alien problem" because it cost Los Angeles "an enormous amount of money." [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 11/18/11, via Media Matters]
O'Reilly: "More Prisons" Needed To Curtail Undocumented Immigration. On The O'Reilly Factor in November 2011, In response to a viewer email regarding the appropriate prison sentence for immigrants who return after being deported, O'Reilly stated, "It would be far less expensive for the feds to build more prisons than to continue funding the current chaos." [Fox News, The O'Reilly Factor, 11/16/11, via Media Matters]

A faulty transformer caused a power outage that halted six of Samsung Electronics's chip production lines on Friday afternoon.
The outage occurred at Samsung's Giheung complex outside of Seoul, disrupting production of flash memory, DRAM and logic chips, a company spokeswoman said.
All six production lines hit by a power outage were back up by noon Saturday, easing fears the disruption could affect the supply of NAND flash memory chips to iPhones, iPods and other devices.
Samsung is the world's largest maker of two important memory chips, DRAM (dynamic RAM) used mainly in computers, and NAND flash memory chips, which store songs, photos and other data in digital music players and other devices, and some analysts had feared the power outage on Friday might cause a sizeable disruption in the supply of NAND chips.
A spark in a transformer caused power to shut down near Samsung's main chip manufacturing complex in South Korea. The company originally estimated damage from the accident at 50 billion Korean won, and analysts had said the supply of NAND flash memory chips could be severely affected.
But on Saturday, Samsung said all six production lines were back in action, and reduced its damage estimate to 40 billion won. Operations resumed earlier than expected, Samsung said in a statement.
Immediately after the power outage, some people feared the worst for Samsung and the global IT industry. For example, Macquarie Securities predicted the global supply of NAND memory chips could drop 10 per cent to 15 per cent in the near term, and investors took a bite out of Apple stock.
Apple shares fell 3.4 per cent Friday to $131.85 each over concern iPhone or iPod production might be hurt by the Samsung issue, while shares of SanDisk, which manufactures NAND flash in partnership with Toshiba, rose 1.35 per cent to $53.43 on hopes it might benefit from the trouble.
Most of the affected production lines are used to produce NAND, and even though production was resumed promptly, many chips in production at the time of the power outage were damaged beyond repair by the sudden halt, according to Do Hoon Lee, semiconductor analyst at Macquarie Securities in Seoul.
Analysts still expect prices of NAND flash memory chips to rise in the near term.
"The production interruption by Samsung, the world's largest maker of NAND-type flash memory, could extend the current market shortage through at least the first half of August," said market researcher iSuppli Corp.
Samsung nabbed a 48.5 per cent share of the global NAND flash market last year, iSuppli said, nearly double the share of second place Toshiba, 24.5 per cent, while Hynix Semiconductor was third with 14.7 per cent.

Use the latest production release of MySQL. Should you choose to use an older release of MySQL on UnixWare 7.1.x, you must use a version of MySQL at least as recent as 3.22.13 to get fixes for some portability and OS problems.
We have been able to compile MySQL with the following configure command on UnixWare 7.1.x:
CC="cc" CFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" \ CXX="CC" CXXFLAGS="-I/usr/local/include" \ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/mysql \ --enable-thread-safe-client --with-berkeley-db=./bdb \ --with-innodb --with-openssl --with-extra-charsets=complex
If you want to use gcc, you must use gcc 2.95.3 or newer.
CC=gcc CXX=g++ ... ./configure ...
The version of Berkeley DB that comes with either UnixWare
7.1.4 or OpenServer 6.0.0 is not used when building MySQL.
MySQL instead uses its own version of Berkeley DB. The
configure command needs to build both a
static and a dynamic library in
but it does not with MySQL's own
version. The workaround is as follows.
Configure as normal for MySQL.
cd bdb/build_unix/
cp -p Makefile Makefile.sav
Use same options and run ../dist/configure.
Run gmake.
cp -p Makefile.sav Makefile
Change to top source directory and run gmake.
This allows both the shared and dynamic libraries to be made and work.
SCO provides operating system patches at ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/unixware7 for UnixWare 7.1.1, ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/unixware7/713/ for UnixWare 7.1.3, ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/unixware7/714/ for UnixWare 7.1.4, and ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/openunix8 for OpenUNIX 8.0.0.
SCO provides information about security fixes at ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/security/OpenUNIX for OpenUNIX and ftp://ftp.sco.com/pub/security/UnixWare for UnixWare.
The UnixWare 7 file size limit is 1 TB with VXFS. Some OS utilities have a limitation of 2GB.
On UnixWare 7.1.4 you do not need to do anything to get large file support, but to enable large file support on prior versions of UnixWare 7.1.x, run fsadm.
fsadm -Fvxfs -o largefiles /#
fsadm /* Note #
ulimit unlimited#
/etc/conf/bin/idtune SFSZLIM 0x7FFFFFFF** Note #
/etc/conf/bin/idtune HFSZLIM 0x7FFFFFFF** Note #
/etc/conf/bin/idbuild -B* This should report "largefiles". ** 0x7FFFFFFF represents infinity for these values.
Reboot the system using
By default, the entries in
/etc/conf/cf.d/mtune are set as follows:
Value Default Min Max ----- ------- --- --- SVMMLIM 0x9000000 0x1000000 0x7FFFFFFF HVMMLIM 0x9000000 0x1000000 0x7FFFFFFF
To make changes to the kernel, use the idtune
name parameter command.
idtune modifies the
/etc/conf/cf.d/stune file for you. To set
the kernel values, execute the following commands as
/etc/conf/bin/idtune SDATLIM 0x7FFFFFFF#
/etc/conf/bin/idtune HDATLIM 0x7FFFFFFF#
/etc/conf/bin/idtune SVMMLIM 0x7FFFFFFF#
/etc/conf/bin/idtune HVMMLIM 0x7FFFFFFF#
/etc/conf/bin/idtune SFNOLIM 2048#
/etc/conf/bin/idtune HFNOLIM 2048
Then rebuild and reboot the kernel by issuing this command:
/etc/conf/bin/idbuild -B && init 6
To tune the system, the proper parameter values to use depend on the number of users accessing the application or database and size the of the database (that is, the used buffer pool). The following kernel parameters can be set with idtune:
SHMMAX (recommended setting: 128MB) and
SHMSEG (recommended setting: 15). These
parameters have an influence on the MySQL database engine
to create user buffer pools.
SFNOLIM and
should be at maximum 2048.
NPROC should be set to at least
3000/4000 (depends on number of users).
The following formulas are recommended to calculate values
13 is what has been found to be the best for both Progress and MySQL.
number of db servers to be run on the system
SEMMNS to the value of
SEMMSL multiplied by the number of
database servers (maximum) that you are running on the
system at one time.
Set the value of
SEMMNU to equal the
value of
SEMMNS. You could probably set
this to 75% of
SEMMNS, but this is a
conservative estimate.

St. Paul Police Shoot Man After High-Speed Chase
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - St. Paul police shot and injured a man after a high-speed chase.
Police say the chase began about 5:15 p.m. Friday when the driver refused to pull over during a traffic stop.
The vehicle had a broken side window, but Sgt. Paul Paulos says he didn't know whether the car was stolen.
The driver then wove through residential streets, at times reaching speeds up to 80 mph.
A 24-year-old man jumped from the vehicle at one point but was apprehended almost immediately.
The man who was shot was not immediately identified. He was taken to a local hospital and is expected to survive.
Paulos says officers believed the man was armed but would not say whether investigators had recovered a weapon or whether the man had fired upon officers.

To help keep things cool last summer, we introduced our line of Summer Refresher lemonades and limeade. We heard they went well with every occasion from the lunches to picnics – so as we were thinking of what new variety we could add to make this line even more compatible with warmer weather, visions of juicy watermelons danced through our heads. So we set out to make a deliciously refreshing Watermelon Lemonade.
Watermelon Lemonade joins Original Lemonade, Mango Lemonade, Mint Limeade, and Half &Half Lemonade & Tea for the summer exclusively at Whole Food Markets. All of these beverages are sweetened with organic, Fair Trade Certified™ cane sugar and hit that right note between tart and sweet. (In case you missed it, check out this video of our TeaEO Seth Goldman visiting farmers in Paraguay who grow Fair Trade Certified sugar).
We're so excited for Watermelon Lemonade that we are celebrating! Our friend at MommyFactor is giving away a week's worth of this honestly refreshing, mouth-watering Watermelon Lemonade to five lucky winners. Entering is easy. Go to her blog here and sign up. Winners will be contacted directly at the end of the month. So, what are you waiting for? Sign up now!

I have a funny story that you probably won't believe. One of my best friends was shopping at an outdoor mall here in LA many, many years ago, when he was approached by one half of a celebrity couple. The male half of the couple asked him if he could literally buy the shirt off of his back. It was a cool vintage tee that my friend adored, but he was so starstruck and taken aback by the request that he agreed. The celeb couple then took him shopping to pick out any shirt he wanted to wear home.
It was Billy Bob and Angelina Jolie.
I pulled a similar move and offered to buy this Magic Castle t-shirt off of someone's back when I saw her wearing it a few months back. She didn't even know what the Magic Castle was and happily agreed to a trade instead of cash. I gave her a cool, striped shirt in return. How's that for star power?

Idaho PhD Business Schools
PhD business schools provide students with the opportunity to earn a doctorate degree in general business and management. The two primary business doctorate degrees are the Doctor of Business Administration and the PhD, both of which may offer concentrations.
These areas of emphasis may provide a great differentiator between universities, as each school might offer unique areas of study. Finance, organizational leadership and health administration are some examples.

EducationDynamics maintains business relationships with the schools it features.
While it is not always an either-or situation, PhD business schools may specifically offer PhD in business programs. And, DBA schools, might offer the Doctor of Business Administration. Although they are academically equal – highest degrees in business – they are also fundamentally different. Consequently, students should approach their search for a school once they decide which degree might suit their goals.
What Is a PhD in Business?
A PhD in business is a research degree. Students may apply with a bachelors degree. So, they may not be seasoned professionals or managers. PhD students may prefer to pursue a research-focused career in academia or public policy. Often four to five years of full-time study, graduates gear up to present and orally defend a dissertation which is based on their findings and original scholarly thought. In fact, PhD research may contribute the development of new theory in topics such as accounting, economics, management, conflict analysis and operations.
What Is a DBA Degree?
The DBA degree is an applied-research degree. Students might apply with an MBA or related Masters degree and often, are executives and managers with experience. They may seek expertise to take into a current career or advance within an enterprise. Often about two to three years of full time study, graduates also gear up to present a dissertation. However, the key difference is that their goal is to use their findings to transform business practice, find solutions, and solve complex problems. Also, DBA programs often require students to take core courses and, choose a concentration track from their options to anchor their research.
EducationDynamics maintains business relationships with the schools it features.
Why Consider a Campus-Based Business Doctorate?
Many PhD business schools encourage students to work closely with faculty and fellow scholars. Candidates of both PhD and DBA degrees may receive personalized mentorship that helps them to thrive and develop their program of research. Also, some business doctoral programs use the cohort system which may provide students with valuable networking and communication skills as they progress through their program.
Find Business Doctoral Degrees & PhD Business Schools
Many regionally accredited PhD business schools and DBA Schools also have individually approved programs by an agency such as the AACSB. Easily find business doctoral degrees by city, state or country. Whether you want to earn a PhD in Business from a university that is walkable from work, a commute away, or provides a change of venue.

Convenient lace system (love the elastic once I figured it out)
Only a few places to buy these
I had been wearing Brooks Pure Connect which fit my narrow foot like a glove, but alas they stopped making them. So my quest for a replacement shoe tried Adaidas, Nikes, and Brook Pure Flow. Fortunately I found The Cloud on sale and loved them. Now I'm on my third pair and am so happy I found this brand. Can't beat Swiss engineering and quality!

Minnesota Activists Strategize on Passing Gay Marriage
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — More than 500 people gathered in Minneapolis this weekend to discuss strategy for legalizing gay marriage in Minnesota.
Organizer Michelle Dibblee of the Equality and Justice Summit discussed how a grass-roots campaign to pass such legislation would work. She says they won't have enough votes to win unless they persuade some legislators to make politically difficult decisions.
Another participant, Ruth Larson, says it makes political sense to act now while Democrats control the Legislature and governor's office.
But incoming House Majority Leader Erin Murphy won't say if the Legislature will take up the issue of same-sex marriage.
Andy Parrish, an organizer of the unsuccessful effort to write a same-sex marriage ban into the state constitution, is daring Democrats to act so Republicans can respond.

Lee, Papelbon combine to help Phils shut down Red Sox
Boston, MA – Cliff Lee worked eight effective innings, while Michael Young and Dominic Brown each provided a solo homer as the Philadelphia Phillies managed a 3-1 victory over the Boston Red Sox in the second game of a brief interleague set from Fenway Park.
Lee (6-2) scattered four hits and one run, striking out eight without issuing a walk, and former Red Sox closer Jonathan Papelbon shut the door in the ninth to pick up his 10th save in his first Fenway appearance on the mound as an opposing player.
"I would say it was more fun than strange," Papelbon said of playing against his former club. "For me, those guys are some of my best friends in the world, but at the same time it was fun."
Erik Kratz contributed two hits and drove in the other run for the Phillies, who return home to face these same Sox in a two-game set starting Wednesday having earned a split.
Dustin Pedroia's first-inning RBI single was all the offense for the Red Sox, who lost for just the second time in their last nine home games against Philadelphia.
Ryan Dempster (2-6) pitched well in defeat, yielding six hits and two runs with three walks and four strikeouts.
"I threw the ball a little bit better tonight, but just got outpitched by the other guy," Dempster admitted. "Cliff Lee is tough."
With the game tied at 1-1, John Mayberry singled to start the seventh, was sacrificed to second by Freddy Galvis and scored on a Kratz hit to center to give Philly the edge.
Brown then provided an insurance run with his leadoff shot to the left side of the bullpen against Junichi Tazawa in the top of the ninth. The visitors' offense couldn't push across another run despite hits from Kratz and Ben Revere, but Papelbon put his former club to rest.
He fanned Jonny Gomes swinging, then retired Pedroia and David Ortiz on groundouts.
Young's blast over the Green Monster with one out in the first was countered in the home half by Pedroia's one-out single that scored Jacoby Ellsbury.
Lee followed by setting the side down in order in the second, third and fourth innings and working around a leadoff hit by Daniel Nava in the home fifth. He retired 11 straight until a Jose Iglesias infield hit with two down in the eighth, and finished his outing by striking out Ellsbury.
Meanwhile, the Phils failed to provide any assistance during the middle frames. They wasted a two-on, one-out situation in the sixth after Jimmy Rollins walked and Ryan Howard singled, but the game remained deadlocked after Young and Brown both flied out to right.
Game Notes
Coming in, Lee sported a 3-5 record and 3.81 ERA in 12 previous starts against the Red Sox, but the left-hander posted his first victory at Fenway since May 12, 2004 with Cleveland ... Philadelphia improved to 3-6 vs. American League competition this year ... Boston fell to 14-8 all-time at home against the Phillies, and Tuesday's loss snapped a string of four consecutive home series wins against them since Philadelphia took two of three in July of 1999 ... On this date 30 years ago, Phillies third baseman Mike Schmidt struck out in his first four at-bats on 12 pitches, then crushed a two-run homer in the last of the 9th inning to beat Jeff Reardon and the Expos, 5-3 ... Prior to the game, the Red Sox activated pitcher Franklin Morales from the 15-day disabled list and optioned pitcher Alfredo Aceves to Triple-A Pawtucket.

(Reuters) - Matt Kemp is miffed about losing out on the 2011 National League MVP award to Ryan Braun, but the trophy will remain with the Milwaukee Brewers outfielder who was suspended this week for violating MLB's doping policy.
Kemp, runner-up in the 2011 voting, has said Braun should be stripped of the award, but the Baseball Writers' Association of America (BBWAA) does not revisit awards they have bestowed.
"Ryan Braun won the award in an election that took place before he tested positive for steroids, a decision that was overturned by an arbitrator," Jack O'Connell, the BBWAA official who oversees voting for MLB's annual awards, said in an email to Reuters on Wednesday.
"Voters can only deal with information they have at hand."
Braun did not serve an automatic suspension for his failed doping test of 2011 when he won an appeal on grounds his sample had been mishandled.
Monday's 65-game suspension of Braun stemmed from Major League Baseball's (MLB) probe into players linked to a Florida anti-aging clinic that distributed performance enhancing drugs.
"Do I feel like it should be stripped? Yeah, I do," Kemp told reporters before Tuesday's road game against the Toronto Blue Jays, "I feel like it should be, but that's not for me to decide."
Kemp said he was "disappointed" with Braun, who insisted on his innocence until accepting a suspension without pay announced in a statement from MLB Commissioner Bud Selig on Monday.
"You don't like getting lied to," Kemp said. "A lot of people feel the same way. I'm sure I'm but another on that list."
O'Connell pointed out that MLB does not rewrite its record books and neither would the baseball writers.
"The commissioner's ruling did not include a statement saying that Braun's (batting) record in 2011 or that of the Brewers no longer count," O'Connell said.
"What is Matt Kemp's complaint? If it is that he should receive an award that he did not win in an election, I do not know where to go."
Kemp did not go so far as to say he ought to be named the 2011 MVP winner.
"I was in the race for MVP and got second. The voters had their opinion of who they wanted to pick as MVP," Kemp said. "You have to respect who they picked.
"It definitely would be nice to have an MVP trophy, but I didn't win the MVP. I was second."
Kemp went on to say the accomplishments of clean players were being tarnished by those who break the rules.
"As a player who never took PEDs (performance enhancing drugs) or steroids, it's upsetting that (those who do) take away from those guys who bust their butts in the gym and play the game clean," he said.
"We're all grown men who make our own decisions what we put in our bodies. We know what's right and what's wrong."

Why has the concern of Women getting "Big and Bulky" from weight training, been largely ignored by trainers?
Women are told…
"You don't have to worry about putting on as much muscle as a man and bulking up, because you have much less testosterone than a man."
So why do I hear these complaints from women on a regular basis?
- "I enjoy working out, but my legs tend to bulk up".
- "I like the way training makes me feel, but hate the way it makes me look".
- "I have tried training in the gym and it simply makes me look bulky."
Perhaps countless Women around the world are simply imagining things!
-OR- maybe they should get used to having a little more muscle than what they want.
After all , their personal trainer tells them that fit women should look muscular…
- But what if a she doesn't want "ripped deltoids"?
- What if she doesn't want a "V" shaped back?
- What if she wants to be fit, but still look stunning in a dress?
There is Nothing Wrong With Wanting to be Fit While Still Looking 100% Feminine.
I can show you exactly how to get in tremendous shape, look and feel better than ever, without adding excess muscle.
Over the past 10 years, I've mastered the technique of "slightly increasing muscle tone" to a body part while "decreasing the size" of that same body part.
Introducing "Visual Impact for Women".
The first comprehensive Women's course…100% Targeted at Getting the Slim, Fit and Feminine Physique!
My background includes running a blog about increasing definition without adding size.
My little blog quickly became a high traffic site that got 3+ million visitors per year.
This led to advising Male and Female Runway Models on proper diet and exercise to look their best.
Bottom line…I know exactly the type of training it takes to get the look that most women are after.
This is what Visual Impact for Women is all about.
Some highlights from the 89 page manual.
These workouts can be done in a gym setting…or your can Train from Home.
I have designed the Home Workout Routines to be done 100% with 1 set of Adjustable Dumbbells + 1 Adjustable Bench.
This is all you need for a complete home gym.
The Gym Routines will make use of more pieces of equipment.
If you do have a gym membership, the sky is the limit on equipment. I give you exercise "suggestions"…but you can make use of whatever extravagant equipment your gym offers!
A Commercial Gym will also give you much more options in the way of cardio equipment.
I do have several suggestions of how to do cardio outside, but it is hard to beat the selection of cardio machines that a commercial gym offers. If money isn't an issue, a treadmill for the home is money well-spent.
And to make sure you become a Cardio Ninja Master…
Fat Torching Cardio – A 12 Week Advanced "Progressive Cardio" Program.
Some highlights from the 12 Week Cardio Manual.
…you will Quickly become the Cardio Expert in your gym!
There's a reason that the actresses in Hollywood use cardio to get ready for Movie roles.
Cardio is one of the few things that can be increased to a large degree. Cardio is the only variable in the weight loss equation that you can increase when everything else is "maxed out".
- You can only reduce the calories so much before your become malnourished.
- You can only lift weight so much before your body becomes broken down.
- You can only do circuits so many times before you become over-trained.
When preparing for movie roles, actors and actresses have been known to use 2-3 hour sessions of cardio each day to get lean in a hurry <—However I'm NOT saying that is ideal!
I've Also Included a Detailed 229 Page Exercise Demonstration Manual.
Since I encourage using a variety of exercises, I felt the need to include this ebook.
This the same ebook that I created for my men's course, Visual Impact Muscle Building. It is a monster ebook that will give you a bunch of ideas on different ways you can work each body part.
This ebook also has "Clickable Navigation"
So you don't have to scroll through hundreds of pages…it has a way for you to quickly navigate from the front page, to exercise selections broken down by body part. It also has the workout routines broken down by exercise and you simply click on the particular exercise you want to research.
This is a very user-friendly and helpful resource!
How much does all of this cost?
I decided on ONE single payment of
$67 only $37.
$67 Only $37

Facebook's India challenge
Very nice piece by Ansuya Harjani of CNBC on Facebook's challenges in India. As she quoted me in the article, India epitomizes the challenge facing Facebook across Asia. The world's biggest social network may have explosive growth in many countries, but they still have not managed to monetize it. Facebook's average revenue per person in

Why on a sunny, cool, dry, Rhode Island day would nearly 6,000 residential construction professionals from all over New England – and beyond – take a couple of days off, after the most brutal winter in New England history, to attend a trade show?
Why would manufacturers from all over the country flock to Providence, Rhode Island to exhibit at this trade event and why is there a higher demand for exhibit space at this show than the capacity to exhibit?
Why is this show one of the few trade events in the last three for four years to have growth as a problem?
Why? Because JLC Live, presented by The Journal of Light Construction, Remodeling, and Tools of the Trade magazines published by Hanley Wood delivers one of the highest trade show values – pound for pound, dollar for dollar – in the industry!
This show's attendance increased by nearly 10 percent from 2010 to 2011 and the exhibitor participation increased by 15 percent. This is extraordinary in a down economy!
Today, building technology is changing at a rapid rate. The beauty of JLC Live is the marriage of the practical side with the science/theory side attracting installers, applicators and remodelers who are eager not only to see the latest products but who want to see the science/theory and best practice applications in action by attending hands-on clinics.
Two examples of the show's clinics supported by CertainTeed (both packed) were:
- Drywall Trade Secrets – Gypsum drywall finishing clinic conducted by Myron Ferguson, Building Specialist, demonstrating best practices of drywall installation and finishing using a new gypsum product, AirRenew™ that removes volatile organic compounds (VOC's) from the air improving the indoor air quality.
- Home Performance Solutions – Bill Robinson, Building Specialist discussed the opportunities of bringing energy efficiency to older homes. The retrofit market will continue to grow as homeowners seek to improve the efficiencies of their building envelop. It is expected that, over the coming years, the remodeling market will grow by an annual rate of 3.5 percent.
From CertainTeed's perspective, the benefit of an event like this is that the attendees are so excited by what they see and learn they will leave the event and go out and buy building products. The impact is that quick. In this economy the construction industry is a highly competitive place. Contractors and remodelers knowing they need to differentiate themselves waste no time in adding new 'tools' to their toolbox.
At a time when we are not 'out of the woods' as an industry, it is obvious that building professionals find this show a significant value proposition making it well worth their time and resources.
If you were at JLC Live, let me know what you thought of the event.

For one day only next week, pretty much anyone, not just techies, can be a Google Glass owner.
On April 15 at 6 a.m. Pacific Time, Google will give any adult in the U.S. a chance to become an "explorer," as the company calls folks who have been trying out the wearable computing device.
Google Glass will be on sale for $1,500 (plus tax). The device "comes with your favorite shade or frame," a company blog post said.
Expecting a deluge of requests, Google says the "number of spots available is limited," so customers better be ready and move fast.
Unfortunately, this offer is only for the U.S. "To everyone outside the US… we know. Sorry 🙁 We're just not ready yet to bring Glass to other countries," the company said.
Of course, there are folks in the U.S. who are "sorry" Google Glass is gaining popularity what with worries about privacy and incidents of surreptitious recording.
In fact, Google Glass wearers have earned the highly-unflattering moniker "glassh—."
The device is seen as a longterm play for Google — another avenue for expanding its online ad business.
Marc Poirier, co- founder of Acquisio, digital marketing platform company, said Google may be looking to see how Google Glass will be received by more people beyond the techie crowd.
"Google Glass could make the promise of location-based marketing a reality, however it\'s not immediately obvious that Glass will have any success beyond the early adopters," he told MarketWatch. "This 'sale' should help gauge interest beyond the 'in' crowd and in that sense the results of this sale will tell us a lot about the future of Glass."

Four students preparing for missions endeavors
PLAINVIEW -- While their fellow Wayland Baptist University students are enjoying the Christmas break at home with family in preparation for another semester of study, four students will be preparing to leave for missions endeavors.
Curtis Broome and Britany Lewis, who graduated from Wayland in the Dec. 10 commencement ceremony, and junior Tamara Haney are headed for semester-long mission trips, while senior Emily Robinson leaves for a 10-day mission trip to New Orleans.
Robinson, an Alpine native who transferred to Wayland in the fall from Sul Ross State University, will leave Dec. 27 for the hurricane-ravaged region, where she'll be part of a 15-person team working with cleanup, demolition or minor construction projects. A project of Go Now Missions of the Texas Baptist Student Ministries office, the trip brings students from many Texas universities together in a short-term service project to the New Orleans area. Robinson felt the opportunity was a good one.
"My major is religion with an emphasis in missions and I plan on being a missionary after college," she said. "Missions is something I have a passion for. I know that while I'm in college there are a lot of opportunities to serve and I want to take advantage of those now.
The trip is nothing foreign for Robinson, who has served in summer missions roles in Canada and China and has traveled to Mexico several times. She also participated in a long weekend mission trip to Graford, Texas, with some Wayland classmates over Fall Break, helping to demolish a family's home destroyed by fire. The New Orleans trip, she believes, will be a totally different experience, and one she's been preparing for through much prayer and scripture reading.
"I'm hoping that I can have the strength and the stamina and the attitude to keep the work up, keep a smile on our faces and work together as a team," she said. "I just want to be an example of love to the people we come in contact with."
For Haney, a junior from Shallowater, pursuing a semester missions endeavor was a leap of faith and a whole new world. Though she had been on shorter trips in high school, long-term trips were never considered. She leaves Dec. 31 for a semester in Lake Tahoe, Calif., where she'll be primarily doing children's ministry through the First Baptist Church of Tahoe City.
"Semester missions was not something I wanted to do," she admitted. "When I saw the brochure listing the position, God really laid it on my heart to go and I signed up after much debating with Him."
An elementary education major who hopes to one day minister to children through teaching, Haney said she felt the opportunity was too good to pass up. The work involves helping with a before- and after-school daycare program and an all-day preschool run by the church. Weekends will involve Sunday afternoon church services and evangelism on the ski slopes at Lake Tahoe.
Though she was sure the position was perfect for her, Haney admits the details were up in the air until about two weeks ago. Initially assigned to Lake Tahoe, the semester missionary currently there decided to stay on another semester, leaving no vacancy there for Haney. At the last minute, however, she opted to leave and Haney was able to plug back into the position.
Preparing for the trip has involved reading a devotional book and spending much time in prayer.
"I've been asking God to get me ready in any way he needs to, whether it's changing things in my life or seeing people in new ways," she said. "I just hope to touch people's lives for Christ. So many of those kids may not come from a church, and I just want let them know that I love them but that God's love for them is so much greater."
Lewis, an active participant in BSM during her time at Wayland, opted to pursue semester missions following graduation before jumping into a full-time teaching career, believing the trip would be a good transition into the work world.
"I felt that I wasn't ready to go straight into teaching, and I wanted a little more time before I jumped into teaching high school," explained Lewis, who majored in speech at Wayland. "Missions has always been an interest of mine and has always been on my heart."
Departing Jan. 6, Lewis will spend her semester in Pullman, Wash., as a BSM intern at Washington State University, a role she thinks will be both challenging and fun.
"The (BSM) program there is relatively small and they are still building contacts on campus," she said. "I'm hoping to help build relationships and be myself and let God use me to reach the people at the college and the community as well."
Broome drew the most exotic location of the group, with a semester missions stint overseas, beginning in January. A recent graduate with roots in Estes Park, Colo., Broome is excited to be able to blend several of his interests on the mission trip.
A music education major at Wayland who hopes to pursue graduate degrees and one day teach percussion at the college level, Broome will be working on a video project and studying music.
"I've always been into music and traveling, and I'm into God, so if you put it all together, here I am," said Broome, who has nearly worked his way through school teaching private lessons to junior high and high school percussionists.
The trip came together through a friend and fellow Wayland graduate. Broome has been on missions experiences before and spent a summer in Indonesia studying the gamelan music there. But his mind is open to the adventures ahead.
"For me, this is the most important thing in my life, studying while being able to learn and get to know people," he said. "Our job is to do this film, but I think the biggest thing will be just waiting on what God will do there."

Why is Chestnut Hill so special? Named one of the best neighborhoods in the United States, referenced by shopping districts near and far as being a business district to emulate, and honored by attaining National Historic District status – these are just a few of the reasons why Chestnut Hill is special.
It is a small town, a walkable community, where people move and rarely leave. Once you experience the historic nature, village charm and unique character of this community, you begin to realize exactly how special Chestnut Hill really is. It is sometimes bewildering that as much as people love it here, many do not grasp what those specific qualities really are, and how each and every day we strive to maintain them!
Many years ago, a gentleman, Lloyd Wells, aware of how spectacular our residential architecture was, envisioned a commercial corridor that could compare in look and character to the community's sense of place. Germantown Avenue at the time was a blend of architectural styles, a generic mix of old and new, dilapidated and maintained, historic and modern, and appeared to the casual visitor as "Anywhere, USA."
But Mr. Wells had a vision, more specifically, a village vision. With the bones of that village already in place, a cobblestone street, buildings of schist, small scale shops and hidden courtyards, he set out to complete his vision: the historic village we have today.
Yes, this gentleman's tactics and methods often come into question. Even today, there are those who claim that there is nothing historic about our Germantown Avenue shopping corridor. That his tactics and methods were akin to brewing a stew of brick and stone, panes and mullions, Colonial Reds and Colonial Blues, all mixed together creating a feast worthy of Colonial Williamsburg comparisons.
But then there are the rest of us – the residents, the shopkeepers and the business people who recognize that without that magical blend, we would not have the village that we do today.
We understand that, yes, maybe it was a marketing ploy, a branding initiative that created a business district that not only complemented our historic residential neighborhood, but gave those residents an attractive place to shop, socialize, have their shoes repaired and their film developed. It was not an easy task. But he fought for it, because he knew what his efforts would create. And we all benefit from those efforts today.
Things are different now. No one man could ever accomplish what he did. But we do have dedicated committees that try to uphold the standards that that early individual put into place.
The Germantown Avenue Urban Design Guidelines is a document that was developed after months of research, site visits to other historic communities and meetings of design professionals and urban planners. They focus on the unique characteristics of Germantown Avenue and the buildings that line the Avenue. They discuss the character of the street and the characteristics of the architecture. They list the inherent qualities that need to be maintained in order to preserve the historic village that we all love.
It is a document that also acts as a road map providing direction to residents and business people alike in the specific course of action that retains that special quality, that "sense of place," that few shopping districts can claim.
The guidelines talk about how light can make or break a store façade, how window signs detract from the merchandise inside, how a blending of compatible materials can create a more interesting and welcoming entrance, how just the right sign draws people in, rather than allows them to walk right by.
Yes, they even address the color of a building, and how it can act as a barrier to potential shoppers. But most importantly, the guidelines help to maintain the real reason why we have all chosen to live and work here.
The atmosphere we love in Chestnut Hill does not just happen. It is an ongoing process that involves the investment of the Community Association, the Business Association, and the Historical Society. It is a realization that without those guidelines, and people who realize their importance, we are not that far away from "Anywhere, USA."

text: meego 2 Posted September 5, 2009 Hi, I've been trying to install Windows 7 x64 on a pure (read: no hybrid GPT/MBR) GPT disk on a MacBook Pro. The Windows installer only allows it if it was booted from EFI. However, the hybrid BIOS/EFI implementation on Intel Mac confuses the hell out of the Windows 7 install DVD, which default to BIOS boot. So I've been trying to force the Windows install DVD to do an EFI boot. I think I can do that using rEFIt's shell to launch the DVD's EFI bootloader. I took my clues from this MS Technet article. The article advises to type: Shell> Fs0: fs0:> \EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI in EFI shell (here, rEFIt's) However, this file does not exist in my W7 x64 install DVD. There is a single \EFI\MICROSOFT\BOOT folder with the following files inside: bcd cdboot_noprompt.efi efisys_noprompt.bin cdboot.efi efisys.bin fonts [folder] This is where I'm stuck. I'd love to start trying loading on of these *.efi files but rEFIt's shell can't read anything inside the DVD. That is how it goes: fs2:\› ls ls/dir: Cannot open current directory - Not Found Does anyone know what is it I am doing wrong? I think it has to do with rEFIt not being able to read the DVD's UDF filesystem. Is there a workaround? Alternatively, I've been thinking of editing the Windows 7 install DVD to remove the BIOS bootloader to force an EFI boot. Does that sound possible? As a side note, i recommend Rod Smith's gdisk to anyone interested in converting an Apple hybrid GPT/MBR partition table into a pure GPT table. Cheers everyone Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Acacia Buys Up More Smartphone Apps Patents: Watch The Patent Thicket Get Worse
from the putting-the-brakes-on-innovation deptLast year, I put together a graphic highlighting the ridiculous nature of the smartphone patent thicket:
Honestly, I have little interest in updating the graphic, because it was already a lot of work to put together, but it seems likely that rather than getting any better, the situation is only getting worse. We're still waiting to see the fallout from the Nortel patent purchase, but it almost certainly will lead to more lawsuits. Separately, while the actual federal court patent trials have been moving slowly, the parallel track (with different rules!) known as the ITC loophole has been issuing new decisions every few weeks, including a big ruling for Apple saying that HTC infringed on Apple patents.
And it seems like even more patents are about to get tossed into the fray as well. Glyn Moody points us to the news that Acacia just bought "a valuable patent portfolio" relating to mobile applications for use in smartphones and other wireless computing devices. Oddly, Acacia provides no additional details. It doesn't name who the patents came from. It says that the patents are now owned by an Acacia subsidiary, but doesn't name the subsidiary. They're being deliberately slimy.
But, you can rest assured that these patents will show up in litigation pretty damn quickly. There's been a lot of concern about mobile app patents in the last few months thanks to Lodsys and Kootol... and assuming that Acacia didn't buy out one of those two, it seems like there could be even more reasons to fear.
It's incredibly difficult to see how anyone can claim with a straight face that the actions described here help innovation in any way. If you're just an app developer, creating something cool for a smartphone... and you suddenly find yourself smack dab in the middle of this disaster, it's a massive hindrance to innovation and development of useful apps. This isn't just a "mess," it's a disaster for innovation.
