The MEDUSA crowd control ray gun we reported on earlier this month sounded like some pretty amazing—and downright scary—technology. Using the microwave auditory effect, the beam, in theory, would have put sounds and voice-like noises in your head, thereby driving you away from the area. Crowd control via voices in your head. Sounds cool. However, it turns out that the beam would actually kill you before any of that happy stuff started taking place, most likely by frying or cooking your brain inside your skull. Can you imagine if this thing made it out into the field? Awkward!
"Any kind of exposure you could give to someone that wouldn't burn them to a crisp would produce a sound too weak to have any effect," said Kenneth Foster, a bioengineering professor at the University of Pennsylvania. Foster knows what he's talking about, too. In 1974 he published the first research on the microwave auditory effect.
Fellow scientist and microwave research author Bill Guy agrees, citing some hard facts to support his conclusions:
Guy says that experiments have demonstrated that radiation at 40 microjoules per pulse per square centimetre produces sound at zero decibels, which is just barely in hearing range. To produce sound at 60 decibels, or the sound of normal conversation, requires 40 watts per square centimetre of radiation. "That would kill you pretty fast," Guy says. Producing an unpleasant sound, at about 120 decibels, would take 40 million W/cm2 of energy. One milliwatt per square centimeter is considered to be the safety threshold.
Both scientists were in agreement about one other thing too: the MEDUSA just morphed from a crowd-control device into a monstrous weapon. We need more of those, right? [IEEE Spectrum Online]

Wow - I didn't realise it was going to be that big! It's a gift for a young member of the family - I think he'll be thrilled as he's a tractor fanatic at 6 years old. A practical gift too. The towel has a smoother upper side so it'll be more comfortable to sit on at the beach. It seems to have a thick absorbent power so no usual skinny beach towel.

Suites, apartments and condo rentals are increasingly popular choices for visitors looking for a blend of luxury, comfort and convenience. Choose an exclusive modern apartment near the celebrated La Fontana hotel to enjoy 5-star service, elegant furnishings and family-friendly children's play park. In downtown La Candelaria, couples and visiting executives can explore the cultural Spanish colonial quarter from sleek, urban lofts with completely furnished kitchen, living, dining and bedrooms.
Home to over 8 million people, Bogota has reinvented itself, stepping away from its threatening past to become a featured capital in Latin America. With an appreciation for their cultural heritage, elegant churches and lovely Spanish colonial architecture, the city aggressively improved security and embarked on infrastructure projects that have made Bogota a preferred destination.
La Candelaria is a visitor favorite, a pleasant sort of bohemian quarter and cultural center with charming narrow streets, Creole iron balconies, cafés and candlelit bars, churches and a lively mix of locals and visitors. The new Centro Cultural Gabriel Garcia Marquez makes a wonderful stop for art galleries, performing arts, children's art workshops and (skip the Starbucks thought), a patio-side Colombian coffee at Juan Valdez Café. Ward off the evening Andean chill with a stop at El Gato Gris for a fireside mulled wine and pasta or crepes. Try the Zone G area for a wide choice of 5-star restaurants with continental cuisines from Peruvian and, naturally, Colombian to French and Asian. The Criterion is one of the most popular for those who crave French-influenced gourmet dining.
Many visitors are drawn to the personal, guided walking and biking tours that provide exceptional insight into the breadth of the city. Mount Monserrate is another wonderful choice with spectacular views of the capital and scenic mountain landscape. Another local treasure is the modern Gold Museum (Museo de Oro) with free guided tours and impressive displays of metallurgy and pre-Colombian artifacts – in fact, the world's largest pre-Hispanic collection of gold.
Besides offering the space, convenience of home-cooked meals and ample amenities; condo and apartment rentals provide a residential feel apart from the traditional hotel experience. Our candid guest reviews allow you to make the right choice for your family rental or business retreat.

Initial hopes that there would be a quick deal to end the "fiscal cliff" crisis are fading fast as positions harden. The plan now seems to be to go over the fiscal cliff and then pick up the pieces. We are told that this fiscal cliff is actually a curb or a slope. The damage will not be so bad, and it can be fixed with a retroactive deal.
My question is, Why would we want to adopt such a position? Why did we have an election? A few things were clear despite the attempts to call it a status-quo election. I think there were at least three significant expectations on the part of the American people. First, as Democrats have been saying, there is agreement to raise taxes on the wealthy. Second, there is also agreement that, as President Barack Obama has been saying, there must be a balanced deal that includes meaningful spending cuts. Finally, there is an absolute expectation that the members of Congress need to grow up, stop acting like spoiled children and get things done for the sake of the country.
So far, there seems to be little movement in any of these directions. With some exceptions in the Senate, which is not where the real problem lies, Republicans still do not appear ready to move on taxes. As the Wall Street Journal article suggests, Democrats are feeling their oats and have determined not to budge on entitlements. Finally, both parties are posturing all over the media, determined to blame the other side, and insisting Jan. 1 is not a significant deadline.
Is this the best we can do? We basically know what the deal is. As some have pointed out, Majority Leader John Boehner has in the past offered $800 billion in revenues, and the president has requested $1.6 trillion. That produces an easy compromise of $1.2 trillion. The issue on entitlements is less clear, but there are many ways to make cuts without damaging the integrity of programs like Medicare, Medicaid and Social Security. While it is true that the details of such a deal are not likely to be worked out by the end of the year, a deal can be struck containing the necessary parameters that would avoid the plunge off the cliff.
Democrats, especially those calling themselves progressives, need to avoid being as recalcitrant as conservative Republicans have been. They were elected not to have entitlement programs remain harmless, but to ensure that any necessary changes be consistent with the mission of these programs. Their job is to protect the poor, the elderly and the middle class.
From our sister publication: A Place to Call Home, a new series focusing on women religious helping people who are homeless. Read more
The public did not trust Republicans to make cuts in these programs but did believe Democrats would handle necessary cuts in a fair and equitable fashion, causing the least pain possible. The real danger is that if Democrats don't act responsibly, conditions will worsen, and it will be the Republican proposals such as a voucher program for Medicare that will rule the day.
So here we are, with Washington acting irresponsibly. Why should any of us be surprised? Because it is not good enough. Maybe we can survive a brief trip over the cliff in January, but that should not be necessary. There is every reason to expect and demand that this job be done now and not later. That was why the cliff was constructed in the first place.
The hope is that responsible adults are acting quietly behind the scenes to produce a deal that will meet the needs of our country at this time. The sooner that deal is brought forth and passed, the sooner the politicians in Washington can go back to playing their political games. Right now, the stakes are too high for games.

Hello, my name is Wake. I have been on the Blitzkrieg forum for a while, but there are many community members who are "older" than me. I first started playing around 2009, and actually have the physical game box with 5 CDs of installation data. Back then all I did was play comp stomp on bridge maps like "The Rhine" or "Lyon". I never dared to try PvP until about 2012 though, and when I started, I was terrible. I got my ass kicked all the time, doing things such as not building anti-tank guns against scout cars. Since then I have improved and got to know veteran community members like Warhawks, Kwok, and ShadowIchigo.
I have seen Blitzkrieg mod progress through many different stages, such as when the Wehrmacht base defenses were still bunkers with MG42s inside that were almost impossible to kill but very easy to go around, and when every single faction started games with an anti-tank gun, or when Panzer Elite had the majority of the Axis heavy tanks.
I live in the USA, so if you are near those timezones then it is likely that we will see each other.

His business card reads "Flavor Specialist" but it isn't just Rob Bragenzer's taste buds that are gaining influence over local foodies and culinary consumers. Since opening Spice-Topia last month in downtown Ventura with his life/business partner Dan Nelson, Bragenzer's entire aesthetic — from his vivid color palette and his loyalty to fair-trade and organic brands to his favorite artisan salts and infused sugars — is attracting customers in droves and adding some necessary zest to downtown Ventura's shopping district.
Bragenzer's heart for food dates back to his early teen years when he prepared German cuisine in Michigan, but it was a few years ago while vacationing in Turkey that he became inspired to peddle herbs and spices. Absolutely taken with the abundant displays of colorful spices in the country's open-air markets, Bragenzer couldn't help but daydream about the possibilities of offering something similar back home.
Opening a retail store didn't seem realistic at the time, and he was doing just fine working in the nuclear power industry, but during a particularly reflective period for Bragenzer, Nelson suggested he leave his corporate job to follow his bliss, and so it began. Having absolutely no experience in retail or food sales, he took a job at We Olive, just a few blocks from where Spice-Topia is now located, to get his feet wet. When it came time to conceptualize his own store, he considered playing it safe by starting with an online business but Nelson told him, "You're too much of a people person," not to open a brick and mortar shop. Quite serendipitously, a beautiful location became available in the heart of downtown Ventura's cultural district, and the two immediately went to work filling it with all things delicious to the senses.
During the store's grand opening, friends of the couple (Nelson is a well-loved teacher at Ventura High School) and curious passers-by poured in to smell, taste and touch (in that order) Bragenzer's handpicked epicurean delights, and that spirit of celebration and community has become a driving force at Spice-Topia. Regular events at the store showcase particular products and always include delicious samples in addition to the complimentary daily tea tastings. "We're all about events," says Bragenzer, "We're all about the experience."
Indeed, customers are encouraged to immerse themselves in the scents and sights at Spice-Topia — and with 19 artisan salts, 24 infused sea salts, 16 infused sugars, 135 spices, 14 coffees and 85 teas, it can be a tad overwhelming. Fortunately, Bragenzer, Nelson or one of the "Spice Girls" (including chocolatier Alison Smith, whose truffles are sublime) is always on hand to explain the best way to navigate the store's offerings. Large canisters of herbs and spices are stored on shelves for visual appeal, but beneath them are sample jars for the smelling. Bulk spices, sugars and teas are sold by the ounce.
While curries and crème brûlées are a couple of the more obvious reasons for perusing the vast selection of international flavors, the uses are limited only by imagination. From smoky, savory rubs to vanilla- and espresso- infused sugars or aromatic fruit-flavored teas there is seemingly nothing that can't be found and put to use. Bragenzer says customers are always coming up with interesting, unique ways to incorporate different flavors into their cooking and baking, and there is a section on the store's website for people to share their recipes.
Then there are the wares: Tea presses, tea pots, tea brewing systems, tea sets (tea is Nelson's area of expertise, as well as graphic design and the photography seen throughout the store), pepper mills, salt storage, mortars and pestles, Chantal bakeware, assorted kitchen gadgets and even the dreaded (by some chefs) garlic press are all for sale at Spice-Topia. And former customers of Toby's (a kitchen store in midtown Ventura that closed several years ago) are rejoicing.
Some of the more popular items include the raspberry green tea, Van Dorn Espresso Rub, Applewood smoked salt, Spanish rosemary-infused salt and vanilla-infused sugar. Gift packs can be customized and Bragenzer has put together an array of spices specifically for traditional holiday foods.
To spend time in Spice-Topia is not only to smell and taste exciting new flavors or comforting nostalgic ones, it's also to share the pleasure of good food and fine living with new friends; everyone who works there is a foodie and their enthusiasm is contagious. During a recent visit, Smith offered me a truffle while she dug up a tribute to Julia Child on YouTube. Not surprisingly, Child is regarded as royalty by the store's staff and this particular video can be found on the Spice-Topia website under "Inspiration" (along with a photo of a spice market in Turkey). "What makes a great chef?" Child posits. "Training and technique, of course, plus a great love of food, and a generous personality," she says. And it becomes apparent why, in a difficult economy, a little specialty store is thriving amid a slew of businesses that are closing. As much as Bragenzer and company love what they're doing, they want you to love what they're doing even more. As Julia says, "That's what good cooking is all about."
Spice-Topia will host a Harmony Cellars winter wine tasting during the Winter Wine Walk on Saturday, Dec. 1, at 4 p.m. For more information, visit www.spice-topia.com.

To The Editor:
I'm an avid runner.
But, after this morning's commute, I think it's time to license joggers. They jaywalk and run in bike lanes and they nearly run into me every day. Furthermore, roads were built for cars and bikes and sidewalks were built for walking, as the name implies.They are not called sideruns.Who do short-shorts-wearing, Usain Bolt-wannabees think they are? Usain Bolt?
Also, joggers should stick to paths and trails. That's why we have them. My tax dollars are being wasted. Joggers don't pay taxes.
This is Washington, DC, not Kenya.
I've never seen a police officer ticket a jogger, but speed cameras.
When I jog, I only jog on weekends and I always wear a helmet. If other joggers run when and where they shouldn't, it's not a surprise that SUVs can flip over and explode on them. In some ways, they were asking for it.
You know who else runs? Criminals, fleeing the scene of a crime. How am I supposed to tell if someone is "jogging" for fun or if they have just robbed a liquor store and are on drugs and are making my neighborhood unsafe?
Once time I was walking and was jogger weaving between people and this startled me. No one should ever be startled about anything, except at surprise parties and even then, you shouldn't yell "surprise" too loudly. Startling someone is basically the same as hitting them with a baseball bat.
Organized jogging, also known as road races, block city streets and make it impossible for other people to get around. Once I was late for brunch and I demand that all joggers be held accountable. My friends ate all of the toast and the waiters didn't bring more. These so called "waiters" aren't even the real waiter, because I was the one waiting because the road was blocked from the race.
In conclusion, traffic is bad enough already. Adding joggers to the mix of cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, buses, compact cars, ZipCars, Car2go, rickshaws, mopeds and cars will only serve to make traffic worse.
I left for work a little earlier than usual and took the Brompton. I wore work clothes because I thought it was cool enough for that and while it was cool, I still ended up something of a sweaty mess. I try so hard to be cycle chic, but I always end up cycle gross. Why can't the stylistas leave their imprimatur on looking unkempt and unwashed, like they did in the early 90s? You could even sew back pockets onto a plaid flannel shirt.
At the intersection of East Capitol and Massachusetts, I saw a 2 x 4 in the middle of the street. There's been a lot of houses sold in the neighborhood recently and I didn't know that "Hacksaw" Jim Duggan had purchased one. Mr. Duggan, I believe you dropped something. Wrestler gentrification is a huge people in DC. Where there were corner stores, now there are just turnbuckles. Entrance music plays all through the night and wakes up our elderly neighbors. There's all these new Junkyard Dog parks. The price of folding chairs (with which to blindside your opponent) has skyrocketed. It seems like every week a new chest waxing business is applying for a license. It's really gotten out of control.
I rode Madison Drive down the Mall, past the museums, on a road almost entirely devoid of car traffic. But almost all of the parallel parking spots were full. If it were up to me (it's not), I'd limit access to these roads to tour buses. Accordingly, you could then narrow the roads, or maybe even turn parts of them into cycle tracks. This is part of my ongoing campaign against drive-by tourism, which I find to be both distressing and sad. I've done my fair share of drive-by tourism and sometimes all you want to do is just look at nice buildings, but I'm not sure it's a socially responsible thing.
If you're reading this, you're an excellent, most likely attractive person and you're the kind of person who 1) like bikey stuff and 2) more than likely lives in DC-ish. That's why it's incumbent upon me to remind you about the upcoming DC State Fair and its Bike Accessory Contest. (Full press release at the bottom of the page). Now according to the Bike Accessory contest (sponsored by TFTS favorite bike shop, BicycleSpace) rules the entries "may be made out of any medium (wool, metal, Pixie Sticks, whatever you'd like!) in whatever crafty way you wish (knitting, macrame, duct taping, what-have-you). Any accessory made by any DC resident for any bicycle is eligible for this contest." Any material for any bicycle! So, if for example, someone wanted to build a toy poodle holder for a the front of a Brompton (and there's a market for a device this practical), you could totally do that! And you should! Or maybe you want to needlepoint "Don't shoal me, bro" onto something you hang from your seat rail? You could! Or maybe you want to make a mud flap for your rear fender out of old copies of Car & Driver because you like irony and whatnot? That's an idea! Basically, what I'm trying to say is that this contest is great and if you want to participate and need help coming up with something to do, let me know! Remember, Entries must be dropped off 11-11:30am at the DC State Fair on 9/22. The entrant can designate a representative to drop them off or contact firstname.lastname@example.com to try to arrange prior drop off. In conclusions, do this.
I met the Official Wife on 23rd Street and walked with her for a few blocks to the Metro. I then rode down to 24th street, made a left onto Pennsylvania Avenue, which I took to M through Georgetown. Then I faced the substantially unfun virgin ride up Wisconsin Avenue on the Brompton. Just because you can do it, doesn't always mean you should. This is sort of where I am with riding up hills on the Brompton. I'm not a glutton for punishment (I'm a glutton for mutton. I should put that on a shirt) and this was certainly more taxing than I would have preferred. And it was made worse by a broken down truck which blocked a travel lane. I bailed to the sidewalk, but that slowed me down because I don't like riding very fast on sidewalks. I resumed riding on the street by Reservoir Road and stuck with it until Massachusetts, where I turned left and then road down the hill and up the hill and got to work, a half hour earlier than usual. Hooray? I guess. Means I can leave early at least.
For Immediate Release
Third Time's A Charm: DC State Fair's Third Annual Event
Washington, DC – The DC State Fair organizers are thrilled to announce the third annual Fair will be
held on Saturday, September 22, at the Barracks Row Fall Festival (8th Street SE below Pennsylvania
Avenue, close to Eastern Market Metro). The public is welcome. Participants are invited to enter any
of the Fair's more than 20 contests, hear announcements of contest winners, take part in educational
demonstrations on food and craft making, and meet fellow community members. Anyone is welcome
to attend; contest registrants must be DC residents.
The DC State Fair, which serves as a culinary, artistic, and agricultural showcase of Washington, is
completely home grown. Until three years ago, DC had no county or state fair where residents could
show off their talents in baking, canning, urban agriculture, poetry, and photography. In 2010, local
food and garden bloggers decided that was a shame and started DC State Fair, which features contests
such as Tastiest Tomato, Funkiest-Looking Vegetable, Best Homemade Pie, a DC neighborhood
photography contest, and Best Homemade Jam, to name a few. For the first time ever, DC State Fair
has added Sewing, Knit & Crochet, Honey, Heaviest Fruit, Fermented Vegetable, and Kids' Art and
Poetry Contests to the 2012 Fair so more of DC's residents can showcase their talents. DC residents
can submit their entries for a chance to win everlasting glory (and prizes!).
The state or county fair concept is largely focused around community: Fairs provides a forum for
neighbors to engage one another, to share knowledge and experience, and to spotlight and reward the
hard work of cooking, crafting, and farming. DC State Fair strives to achieve these same goals within
the District and to help build a multicultural community focused around urban agriculture, education,
and art.
In order to pull this off, DC State Fair offers local, mission-aligned businesses and organizations
sponsorship options that include benefits such as logos on the Fair's website, a vendor table with the
Fair, or even emceeing a contest. The Fair also has wonderful community support from individuals
who help run the contests and volunteer for the day of the Fair.
Beyond the vegetable, cooking, and art competitions and educational demonstrations run by DC State
Fair, Barracks Row Fall Festival itself will feature stages with musical acts and other entertainment,
a petting zoo, the Military Chef's Cook-Off, and many other activities and groups focused on the
Barracks Row neighborhood.
DC State Fair's has succeeded in turning this event into an annual tradition that aims to foster
community spirit and celebrate DC's talented residents. Be sure to check out the contests, submit your
entries, and swing by the Fair to experience the fun!

Guinness is certainly the most popular drink on St. Patrick's Day, but McDonald's Shamrock Shake probably comes in at a close second. It's only available for a limited time every year, which inspired Sam Jordan to drink a gallon of the minty concoction.
Or at least try to.
Filling an empty one-
litergallon milk jug required six of the shakes, which amounts to just over 5,000 calories, or more than twice Sam's recommended daily intake. He started out drinking it with a straw, but it soon became obvious that chugging was the only way to go. Sadly, the sheer volume of Shamrock deliciousness got the best of him about halfway through, but since he's alive to tell the tale, we're glad he didn't succeed. [Zug via Boing Boing]

The Islanders beat the Devils 3-1 Monday night in New Jersey and continued an improbable, late-season push for a playoff spot. John Tavares scored his 22nd goal of the season, Evgeni Nabokov out-tended Martin Brodeur and the Islanders have now won four of their last five.
The game started with some early fireworks when Josh Bailey scored the Islanders' first goal 52 seconds into the game. About 10 minutes later, Matt Martin's fist found Tom Kostopoulos's chin. He was out immediately and, judging by the fencing response, concussed.
Martin, for his part, realized Kostopoulos was in rough shape and immediately motioned over to the Devils bench to get someone out on the ice to help him. It's weird to watch someone go from punching another person in the face to expressing concern for that same person seconds later, but when it's in the job description, like it is for Martin, it's probably easier to separate the emotions.

Former England striker Emile Heskey is threatening to overshadow Alessandro Del Piero as Australian soccer's most successful import after scoring four goals in his first four games for the Newcastle Jets.
Heskey, always regarded more as a foil than an out-and-out goalscorer, grabbed a brace to help the Jets to a 2-1 victory over Melbourne Victory on Friday evening to put himself top of the goalscorers' table and his team top of the A-League.
The 34-year-old former Liverpool forward only arrived in Australia a week before the season began but is well on his way to becoming a cult figure in Newcastle with nearly 14,000 fans turning out at Hunter Stadium on Friday.
Those watching at home were able to follow his every move on cable TV's "Heskey Cam" and he served them up a treat with two fine goals in two minutes early in the second half.
The first came when he got in front of the Victory defense to turn the ball into the net with the outside of his right boot while the second was courtesy of an overhead kick from a corner.
"Well, look, it's fantastic. What is it? Four in four games? so from that respect it's a great return," Jets coach Gary van Egmond told reporters.
Former Italy and Juventus great Del Piero, who joined Sydney FC on a A$4 million (US$4.14 million) two-year contract last month, will play his 800th professional match when his team take on Perth Glory at Sydney's Olympic Stadium today.
The 37-year-old has also hit the ground running in Australia and his goal gave his club their first win of the season against city rivals Western Sydney Wanderers last weekend.

Liberating your health data.
A fresh perspective is long overdue.
We're just like you. We've watched family and friends struggle to remember the details of their health histories, gather their health data, make sense of it, and share it as needed.
Why do we have to fill out the same forms over and over? Are you sure you're always entering the same information every time?
So, we are working to create and deliver a real solution that really works for all of us, health consumers and healthcare professionals alike. As healthcare "outsiders" we all already know the status quo isn't working for anyone, especially the 'patient'.
Why can't your health information go with you wherever you go? Your health data should be untethered, like your phone number is uncoupled from a carrier.
Personal Health Cloud is working to solve the challenges of Patient Identity Integrity, Patient Matching, and Data Interoperability.
Join the movement to take control.
We'll get in touch with you soon.
"Data can heal," he said. "There is a huge healing power to patients understanding and seeing the effects of treatments and medications.

The Healing Power of Your Own Medical Records by Steve Lohr, NY Times, March 31, 2015
"PHC is a force to be reckoned with in the field of EMR. In the market of digital health there hasnt been a single leader to come out on top in medical records. I am confident that Lydia has crafted a culture around the product that will become unanimously accepted by the extended medical community."
Andrea Lamari
Director of Sales, NASDAQ Private Market
"It will be great for patients to have their own records and take an active role in their medical care. Personal Health Cloud is a safety net to compare against the EMR."
Robert J. Nicoletta, MD
Director, Orthopedic Sports Medicine Boston University
"Real, positive transformational change and improvement in the medical industry can only be accomplished by addressing the problems and challenges from a new perspective. I feel that Personal Health Cloud's vision, technology and framework can accomplish this."

BlackBerry & Banking: Case Studies
The annual Regulatory Compliance Conference for the American Bankers Association (ABA) took place in Orlando this past week (June 10-14, 2012), and we were pleased to attend and support the financial services community. Eric Nicolaisen, Charles Wong and myself were there exhibiting BlackBerry® solutions that address the regulatory compliance needs for mobility. The ABA was founded in 1875, and represents all banks (foreign, national, state, and local) that operate in the United States. Their primary activity is lobbying for policy and political presence in Washington, DC.
The key buzzwords at the Conference were Dodd-Frank, FINRA, and SOX, which address issues such as consumer protection & advocacy, archiving of oral & written communications, and auditing. Recent success stories around call recording and BlackBerry® Mobile Voice System were prominently featured, and invoked further discussions around BlackBerry® Mobile Fusion, BlackBerry® Balance™, and solutions to assist in facing the Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) trend as banks are slowly allowing their employees to connect their personal devices to corporate messaging and applications.
Case studies that were showcased included Nomura (2012 Wireless Achievement Award Winner at BlackBerry World™) and Bank Am Bellevue. These EMEA-based banks had to comply with the UK's FSA 10/17 Policy for Call Recording, and in each case, these banks achieve regulatory compliance. The case studies were relevant to all banks that operate in the UK and are engaged in activities that are regulated by FSA Policy 10/17, in addition to recent policies on archiving written & oral communications in Dodd-Frank. (Case studies are also posted at www.blackberry.com/mvs if you wish to read further on this)
BlackBerry's presence at the conference was undoubtedly strong; many individuals were stopping us in the exhibit hall or even the elevators to share their passion for their BlackBerry devices. We were particularly excited to make attendees aware of the BlackBerry® PlayBook™ tablet running OS 2.0. After demonstrating the features and capabilities, their first impressions were fantastic, especially for the winner of the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet that was drawn for a prize. Special congratulations go out to Mary Clouthier, VP of Enterprise Compliance at Fifth Third Bank, a major bank based in the midwest. To say she was happy about winning would be an understatement – she immediately asked where she could purchase a HDMI cable and BlackBerry® Mini Keyboard.
