Weekly media column version 11.01.13 — A read on the new Wooden-related books, plus some Erin Andrews World Series backlash? (Who saw that coming?)

UPDATED: 11:30 a.m. FRIDAY

(Above: From the website: johnwoodenbook.com)

What made it into this week’s version of the media column:

sonsxYou’re not seeing things: Books written about John Wooden continue to appear on store shelves as much today as when he was alive and coaching UCLA to national basketball championships. The difference is there’s an anniversary to acknowledge — it’s been 50 years since his first title, the 1963-64 team that went 30-0.
Brace yourself for the wizardry of more words to be written about Wooden.
The ones we spotlighted:
== “The Sons of Westwood: John Wooden, UCLA, and the Dynasty That Changed College Basketball,” by John Matthew Smith (University of Illinois Press, $24.95, 344 pages)
== “Wooden: A Coach’s Life,” by Seth Davis (Holt, Henry & Company, Inc., $35, 608 pages)
== “Anatomy of a Champion / An American Dynasty Wooden’s Way,” By Andre McCarter, currently discussed on a kickerstarter.com webpage.

What didn’t make it into the column:

== This process made us more curious about finding the ultimate list of books written by or about John Wooden.
Here’s a list we’ve compiled (with links): Continue reading

College football ’13 TV lineup for L.A. in Week 10: Corso heads to Florida State … warpaint ensues

R.J. Bell of Pregame.com — “the largest sports betting news website compliant with U.S. Law,” according to its disclaimer, as well as being on of the most media-quoted services around — points out that No. 3 Florida State is a 21-point favorite over visiting No. 7 Miami..
That’s the biggest point spread in history between undefeated Top 10 teams this late in the season, according to the wise guys.
Bell points out there are only two other instances of a double digit favorite when two undefeated Top 10 teams play this late in the season:
== No. 1 Texas, favored by 12 points, when hosting No. 7 Oklahoma State (on Oct. 25, 2008).
== No. 1 Miami, favored by 11 points, when playing No. 2 Ohio State in the 2002 BCS title game.
How’d those games turn out?
Texas won 28-24 behind Colt McCoy’s 391-yards passing.
And Ohio State won, 31-24 in double OT at the Fiesta Bowl.
So history has spoken: Take these Hurricanes and the points before this is bet down to a two-TD spread.

With BCS rankings and records where applicable:

== USC (5-3, 2-2) at Oregon State (6-2, 4-1), Friday at 6 p.m., ESPN2 (Carter Blackburn, Danny Kanell and Allison Williams)
== No. 20 UCLA (5-2, 2-2) vs. Colorado (3-4, 0-4), Rose Bowl, Saturday at 4:30 p.m., Fox Sports 1 (Craig Bolerjack, Joey Harrington, Ryan Nece)

== Arizona State (5-2, 3-1) at Washington State (4-4, 2-3), Thursday at 7:30 p.m., ESPN (Rece Davis, Jesse Palmer, David Pollack, Samantha Ponder)
== Arizona (5-2, 2-2) at Cal (1-7, 0-5), Saturday at 12:30 p.m., Pac-12 Network (Ted Robinson, Glenn Parker, Drea Avent)
No. 5 Stanford (7-1, 5-1) and No. 2 Oregon (8-0, 5-0) have a bye leading into their Thursday, Nov. 7 meeting at Stanford; Utah and Washington also have a bye week.

== No. 7 Miami (7-0) at No. 3 Florida State (7-0), 5 p.m., Channel 7 (Brent Musburger, Kirk Herbstreit and Heather Cox)
== No. 21 Michigan (6-1) at No. 22 Michigan State (7-1), 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Channel 7 (Brad Nessler, Todd Blackledge and Holly Rowe)
== No. 18 Oklahoma State (6-1) at No. 15 Texas Tech (7-1), 4 p.m., Channel 11 (Gus Johnson, Charles Davis, Kristina Pink)

It’s a bye week for Denver, San Francisco, Arizona, Detroit, Jacksonville and the N.Y. Giants:

Play it Forward: Oct. 28-Nov. 3 on your sports calendar — The gap between the Lakers and Clippers? They’re all even at 0-0 for the first 47:59

UPDATE: Monday, 9 a.m.:

How the week ahead plays out:

11-17-clippers-4_3_rx812_c1080x810BEST BETS:

LAKERS vs. CLIPPERS, Staples Center, Tuesday at 7:30 p.m., TNT:
NBA-LAKERS-CLIPPERS-logoOne could finish if not at the top of the Western Conference, then at least among the penthouse contenders, according to prognostications; the other is predictably more likely to miss the playoffs all together.
A titillated Clipper Nation, let’s introduce you to a dreaded Kobe-deficient Laker deflation, version 2013.
“There’s a huge gap between these two,” said Steve Kerr, the TNT analyst who grew up in L.A. “Not to say the Lakers aren’t compelling in their own right, but the Clippers have the chance to be something special. That’s just the way the NBA ebbs and flows – maybe not for the Clippers for a long time, which mostly had ebbs. But here we are now.”
uspw_6908242_crop_northAdded Reggie Miller, another TNT analyst and Southern California native: “We’re talking now about the Clippers as if they are the Lakers. It’s astonishing. Without Kobe (Bryant) starting the season and not knowing when he’s going to be back, there is a lot of people jumping off the Laker bandwagon and getting on the Clippers bandwagon. I think the Lakers will be competitive, I don’t think they make the playoffs.
la_a_doc-rivers_mb_600But it will be interesting with all the changes for the Clippers to see if this team is ready to take the next step. For them to take the next step, they have to compete for a championship. The Lakers pride themselves on championships. It’s all about those banners. That’s what separates the two. It’s about the mindset. I think Doc Rivers is bringing that championship mindset to a team that has underachieved for the last 20 or 30 years. We’ll see when the bright lights are on and you have to go out and beat the Spurs, Thunder and Warriors on a nightly basis, let’s see if this team can bring it like we know the Lakers have.”
nba_g_clipperfans_gb1_576Added Kerr: “And even if the Clippers do that, it’s still a Lakers town. I don’t think that will change.”
“Unless,” Miller countered, “(the Clippers) go out and sign Yasiel Puig right now.”
It’s a Lakers home game, so take a long look at those banners on the wall. They’ll be covered up with the two meet for a Clippers-designated home contest more than two months from now on Jan. 10 and April 6 (with a March 6 Laker home game in between).

If the NFL had a team in L.A., of course the guys at L.A.-based Fox would be happy (unless it’s the Raiders)

la_postcardIn reaction to a story earlier this week where NFL commissioner Roger Goodell said he’d like a team in London as well as Los Angeles, but there’s no priority for one over the other, this was said on this morning’s “NFL on Fox” pregame show:

Terry Bradshaw: “This is the eighth game the NFL has played in London, spreading the international brand. And for the life of me, I don’t understand why we’re not spreading a little love out here to Los Angeles. Do you realize it has been 19 years since we last had a team here in the Los Angeles area? Why the NFL isn’t putting all their efforts into bringing a team out here – and don’t forget, the largest game in the history of the Super Bowl was in Los Angeles. The very first Super Bowl was in Los Angeles, and personally, my last Super Bowl was in Los Angeles (at the Pasadena Rose Bowl). It seems to me like the powers ought to get together and give a little thought to bringing in an NFL team. Howie’s Raiders’ economic struggles up in Oakland, the Rams’ stadium issues in St. Louis – viable alternatives to come back to the second-biggest city in this great country of ours, the United States.

Replied Howie Long: “Personally, I’m hopeful (the Raiders) stay in Oakland, but economically it’s tough.”

Fringe Benefits

First, there was a diary. Yes, I'm serious. I kept a diary for years. I was still intermittently writing in it well into my twenties.

Then, in an attempt to join the 21st century, there were a series of blogs. This very blog that you are presently reading is the latest and most successful. It was a natural progression from a hand-written, and now very much destroyed, diary. Anyone who wants to add "of a wimpy kid" to the end of the previous sentence won't be far wrong.

Now, in a totally unforeseen, unplanned and somewhat unbelievable development, there is a stage play. Yes, you read that right. InsomniacMedic is coming to the stage. Not me personally, for that would be nothing short of foolish, frightening and entirely forgettable, but this blog has become the basis for a play that is to appear for two weeks at this year's Camden Fringe festival.

That's Camden, London, UK. Not Camden, New Jersey; or Camden, New South Wales. Sorry to disappoint any of you who may be inconvenienced by the distances involved.

Written by fellow insomniac and long-term friend Rachel Creeger of Time2Shine Productions, "An Insomniac's Guide to Ambulances" was borne out of many late night Facebook chats about our past experiences, mine as a paramedic and hers working with vulnerable families. InsomniacMedic was the starting point for this immersive piece which blends fiction and fact from both our real working lives, much like the blog itself.

As an added bonus, certainly for me, anyway, despite being several thousands of miles away from London these days, I plan on attending a few of the nights, including one where a Q&A session will follow the play. For all the details, head to the Camden Fringe website, and search for one of two theatres where the play will be showing: Upstairs at the Gatehouse from the 5th-8th of August, or at the LJCC from the 11th-15th of August. The Q&A is on the 12th.

I, for one, am honoured that this is even happening. I'd be even more so if you came and showed your support. At the very least, I could thank you in person for being a reader of this blog, and by that mere fact alone, making this entire project remotely feasible.

See you there, but no breaking any legs please. I'm supposed to be on holiday!

Chris said...

ty for sharing.

Middo said...

Seriously disappointed that it isn't appearing in Camden, New South Wales. Although, the Opera House might be a more central location.

Barbara said...

I guess it won't be in Camden, Maine, USA either? Oh well. Congrats from across the pond.

TAZ THE AMBO said...

Dude you had me a little excited with NSW too!

MSgt B said...

Don't think I'll be making it across the pond for the premiere.

It would be nice to see some teasers on YouTube or something...

MarkR said...

As someone who is already this side of the pond I am very much looking forward to this.

I'm just putting numbers together and then me and a few of my fellow student paramedics will be booking up.

Do you know what date you're doing the Q&A?

Lynda Halliger Otvos (Lynda M O) said...

How exciting is this... wish I were on the correct side of the pond, Congrats for you and your co-hort, it's a huge honor that deserves a big hug.

InsomniacMedic said...

Thanks everyone for your comments! I replied the other day, relying on the technology that is mobile phones to send the message, but have only just seen it didn't work!
This really is an exciting time, watching this blog grow into something else, and I can't wait to meet at least some of you there.
The Q&A is planned for the 12th of August, but there are plenty of other nights too!
As for any overseas venues, we'll have to wait for a large corporate sponsor to put their hands in their pockets :)

Anonymous said...

Curses. My paymasters who I think is an admiral has sent me to sea. Good luck and I hope it goes well. Maybe it will pay the bank manager?

Really enjoyed the play! Great to see you and the writer of the play!

This is to make rope splicing fids. Quick simple and easy. Yes, you can buy them for about $10 ea. except here on Maui where I am, and shipping to Hawaii costs more than the item.

You will need:

5 inches for each fid so I made three so 15" of tubing per size.

Dremel Cutoff wheel

Dremel cone stone grinder

Dremel sandpaper grinder

First, buy brake tubing by-the-foot at local auto parts store. I bought 3/16, 1/4 and 5/16. It was steel and will rust so don't store on the boat. Aluminum is better if one can get AL tubing but Lowes/HD was too thin walled from what I saw.

Second, mark 5 inches on each set of tubing.

Third, cut at sharp angle (maybe 30deg.) with cutoff wheel. Use a vice to hold tubing

Fourth, cut base of fid square so you have one pointy end and one square end

Fifth, grind all cuts and dull tip.

Sixth, sand smooth all edges Tips: I left a bit of angle on square end on some fids as it may help push rope in butt end when doing a splice and needing to pull rope through. These can be primed and painted to avoid rusting.

Doing a bit of overnight thinking, and with you in Hawaii, I think that small pieces of bamboo could be cut and used for splicing fids. Here is a small selection of redneck tools that I made and use for macramé, paracord and rope work. As you can see, several are made from small pieces of bamboo, an old corndog stick or two and paperclips. Not fancy, but priced right and workable.

Seems to me that old ball point pen tubes could be used for some of the lighter work. Pull the point out cut on a diagonal and to length. Look around for old pens with different size barrels.

Nice! I'd also like to see something on splicing with this device.

Awesome instructable!

Thanks mauigolightly. Quite simpler and easier (and less brilliant) than yours :) but glad we got them done.

A couple of suggestions: break apart your instructable into steps. It appears that you have enough material that you could make another one and take pictures of each step. The second suggestion would be to make another instructable on how to splice braid with your new fid. Yes, there are a lot of tutorials out there on the web but instructables is seriously lacking.

Thanks for the instructable and I look forward to more!

Thanks Jobar007. It was my first one so your feedback is appreciated for the next ones, which may be the splicing you mentioned.

1. Crinoline
The Costume Institute at The Metropolitan Museum of Art will be showcasing the work of Charles James this May. James was most-likely influenced by the crinoline-supported silhouette of the 1860s, shown in his famous “Four-Leaf Clover” gown, 1953, which will be in the exhibit and with more voluminous dresses. Today, James' influence is already seen in Zac Posen Pre-fall 2014 collection

2. Denim Jeans
Jeans are ubiquitous and with Chanel’s recent Texas-based Métiers d’Art collection show, expect to see even more of this cowboy favorite.

3. Flapper Dress
With this season of Downton Abbey set in the 1920s, the influence of the flapper dress is seen in both Miu Miu spring 2014 and Alexander McQueen spring 2014 collections.

4. Fishtail
This is always a red carpet favorite, some breathtaking examples were seen in Jason Wu spring 2014 and Carolina Herrera pre-fall collections.

5. Raglan Sleeve
It's often found in sportswear-influenced collections, raglan sleeves have been seen in Balmain Spring 2014 and Prabal Gurung pre-fall, among others.

Plus, 10 spring trends you can start wearing now!

Pennsylvania Reclaimed $185M for Insurance Consumers in 2015

February 24, 2016

Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Teresa Miller announced that the state’s Insurance Department reclaimed $185,055,050 for insurance consumers throughout the state during 2015.

The commissioner said that throughout 2015, the state’s Insurance Department helped 12,307 consumers around Pennsylvania receive some form of restitution payment or credit.

Miller said consumer protection is a top priority for Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf and the Insurance Department.

“We will always hold businesses to the highest standards and will continue to work to ensure consumers are afforded all of the rights and protections guaranteed to them by Pennsylvania law,” Miller said.

A large share of the reclaimed funds came from settlements with life insurance companies. The Insurance Department said last August that it recovered more than $70 million overall for nearly 4,300 beneficiaries through the first six months of 2015 as Pennsylvania continues to serve as a lead state in several multi-state examinations of business practices in the life insurance industry.

The Insurance Department said some companies in the life insurance industry were making selective use of the Social Security Administration’s Death Master File (DMF), and instead of paying policy benefits upon a policyholder’s death, the companies were only terminating payment of annuity benefits.

These life insurance companies will now properly use the DMF to identify potentially unpaid insurance benefits and locate beneficiaries.

Other examples of restitution include: refunding of overcharged premiums when an insurer was found to be charging premiums above the approved rate; processing and payment of previously denied or underpaid claims when an insurer did not pay a claim as it should under the consumer’s policy; and restoration of stolen funds when an agent collected payment from a consumer for a policy or annuity but did not send the money to the insurer.

The Pennsylvania Insurance Department is charged with upholding fair business practice standards for consumers, companies, and insurance professionals to ensure that consumers in Pennsylvania receive all protections to which they are entitled under the state’s laws and regulations.

Peer Research Report: Big Data Analytics

This report provides the results of a survey of 200 IT professionals about big data analytics that can help you plan your own projects, as well as a perspective on what these results mean for the IT industry. Key data insights include: • Many IT managers consider big data analytics projects one of the most important imperatives for their organization. • Adoption of big data analytics tools such a...s the Apache Hadoop* framework and commercial distributions for the Hadoop* framework is growing, with 25 percent of our survey group having already implemented these technologies and another 20 percent in the process of deploying at the time of the survey. • IT managers currently use both batch and real-time delivery of analytics equally, with a 50-50 split, but expect that to increase to two-thirds using real-time processing and delivery by 2015. • Security is a huge concern for IT managers and a barrier to moving and sharing data between their Hadoop environment and external partners like analytics service providers. • IT managers place high value on getting help in three areas: deploying data visualization methods for business users, services to manage data from sensors and devices at the edge of networks, and software built for big data frameworks like Hadoop (along with deployment guides and other practical guidance on how to get up and running smoothly).

Not too long ago I also added a link to Mary Kate's post for those who would like to make a donation to the Leukemia Research Foundation in his name.

Went to buy a six pack of beer at dans yesterday. Came out with a couple of old favourites in addition.

Glenmorangie quinta ruban (bottled at 46% now) is an improvement on the old port-wood finish, very drinkable.

Also decided it had been too long since I'd had a bottle of dalwhinnie and it's smokey goodness.

DEFINITION of 'Direct Public Offering - DPO'

When a company raises capital by marketing its shares directly to its own customers, employees, suppliers, distributors and friends in the community. DPOs are an alternative to underwritten public offerings by securities broker-dealer firms where a company's shares are sold to the broker's customers and prospects.

BREAKING DOWN 'Direct Public Offering - DPO'

Direct public offerings are considerably less expensive than traditional underwritten offerings. Additionally, they don't have the restrictions that are usually associated with bank and venture capital financing. On the other hand, a DPO will typically raise much less than a traditional offering.

New cholera outbreak in Zambia

Lusaka - Cholera has broken out in northern Zambia this week, with at least 30 cases recorded in the past three days, a health official said Wednesday.

“We have so far 30 suspected cases of cholera admitted at Mambilima Mission hospital,” regional medical officer Lackson Ndhlovu told public radio station Zambia National Broadcasting Corporation (ZNBC).

The outbreak was reported in Mwense district, about 700 kilometres (435 miles) from the capital Lusaka.

The waterborne disease comes with each rainy season in Zambia. - Sapa-AFP

House of horrors: Wife in the dock

Johannesburg - The wife of the man accused of abusing her and their five children, and holding them captive is expected to appear in the Springs Magistrate's Court on Tuesday, eNCA reported.

The woman was arrested on Sunday night and faces the same charges as her husband.

These included attempted murder, child abuse, assault and defeating the ends of justice.

The 36-year-old man, who cannot be named to protect the identity of his family members, was arrested last month after allegedly assaulting his wife and five children and keeping them captive.

He was denied bail by the court earlier this month. His case was postponed to July 25.

The man was arrested in May after his 11-year-old son fled the family's house in Springs and ran to a neighbour's house to beg for help. The neighbour called police.

The man allegedly kept his wife and five children, aged between 2 and 16, captive in the house for several years and assaulted them. - Sapa

Ramphele destroyed her political brand: Zille

Pretoria - Agang SA leader Mamphela Ramphele committed political suicide by turning down the opportunity to lead the Democratic Alliance, as evidenced by the results, the DA said on Friday.

“Mamphela has destroyed her political brand and value,” DA leader Helen Zille told reporters at the Electoral Commission of SA's (IEC) national results operations centre in Pretoria.

“She had a big brand value before voters rejected her.”

Zille said Ramphele could have added to the consolidation of opposition if she had stayed with the DA.

In February Zille announced Ramphele would be the DA's presidential candidate in the election, but the agreement which was sealed with what many described as the “kiss of death” did not even last for 48 hours.

Zille described Ramphele's back tracking on the agreement as the last straw which pushed voters to the DA.

“The move actually took the majority of those who were going to vote for her to us,” she said.

Agang SA had managed 50 738 votes by 3pm, meaning she would probably get one seat in Parliament.

However, Zille warned her that one-person parties struggled in the National Assembly and most of the time could not attend many of the portfolio committees.

“One person parties in Parliament don't make a difference,” she said.

Messi and Alves shine for Barcelona

Manchester, England - Barcelona took control of their Champions League last 16 tie against 10-man Manchester City on Tuesday when they won 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium, thanks to a Lionel Messi penalty and a late strike from Dani Alves.

Messi, tripped running into the box by Martin Demichelis, which earned the defender a red card, scored after 54 minutes to give the four-time European champions the lead over City, who were playing in the knockout rounds for the first time.

Alves scored in stoppage time when he shot through the legs of City goalkeeper Joe Hart after a marauding run down the right.

The visitors dominated the opening 20 minutes and finished far stronger against City, who seemed overawed by the occasion.

The two sides, who had scored 228 goals between them this season heading into the game, failed to produce the goalfest that many expected.

The two away goals Barcelona did score, however, have given them a huge advantage going into the second leg on March 12.

“People have been saying this is not the same Barcelona of previous years but we've got a great a result tonight and we've proved a point to some people,” Barcelona midfielder Cesc Fabregas said.

“We are not there yet, though. They are a good team and we still have to work hard to get through.”

The visitors quickly silenced the home fans, who created a superb atmosphere before kick off, by totally dominating possession in the opening 20 minutes when City hardly saw the ball and barely ventured into Barca's half.

Barca played their typical quick-passing game and although they never allowed City to break out of defence, they also never created a serious goal attempt of their own as the hosts stayed organised and were well-marshalled at the back by Vincent Kompany.

City finally escaped their shackles midway through the opening half when David Silva found Alvaro Negredo with a fine angled pass, but the Spaniard's dangerous-looking cross failed to find a target.

From then on City gained in confidence and put Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes under pressure when he flapped at a high ball.

Yet City's only real chance came in the 27th minute when Negredo turned and shot straight at Valdes from the edge of the penalty area.

Barca's best chance before the break fell to Andres Iniesta, who forced a save from City keeper Hart from 20m out.

The balance tipped Barca's way with Demichelis's 53rd-minute dismissal, which will keep him out of the second leg at the Nou Camp.

The defender appeared to have fouled Messi outside the area, but referee Jonas Eriksson pointed to the spot and showed Demichelis a red card, allowing Messi to stroke the ball past Hart to put the visitors ahead.

Barca largely regained control of the match after the goal with City's best chance of an equaliser coming when David Silva chested down and volleyed straight at Valdes in the 77th minute.

“Two-nil is very tough on us. When it was 11 versus 11 we were in the game but with a man less and with their individual quality which is so high it was very hard,” Manchester City captain Kompany said.

“If they play as they can in the second leg it will be very hard but we still have a chance.” - Reuters

Quantcast CBS.com Prepares To Host HTML5 Videos For iPad « iPad in Canada Blog - Canada's #1 iPad Resource iPad in Canada Blog – Canada's #1 iPad Resource

CBS.com Prepares To Host HTML5 Videos For iPad

by on March 25th, 2010

The iPad launches on April 3, 2010 for both USA and brave Canadians heading down to the USA to pick it up. With the release date so close, iPad plans are quickly wrapping up for the debut.

In the days before the iPad launch, CBS, a major television network, is updating their website to provide video playback for the iPad, which means no Flash support (who needs Flash anyway?!).

Apple has been a strong opponent of Adobe’s resource-heavy Flash plugin, and is touting HTML5 for the future (like the rumoured Hulu app).

Some investigating this week by TheOtherMacBlog.com revealed that the CBS.com website streamed different versions of video when the iPad SDK Simulator was used. CBS.com’s website began to display rather odd “iPad – test” video links in place of normally available content.

MacRumors took to the scene and investigated and found that clicking on the “iPad” labeled links in a normal desktop web browser brought users to the usual Flash versions of the videos. But, if users visit CBS.com using the iPad SDK Simulator, users are sent to a different version of the CBS video (seen below).

The new version of the videos do not play yet but seems to be running off of HTML5. For those that do not know, Apple has been a strong supporter of HTML5 and has suggested it as an alternative solution to Flash.

In the case of CBS.com, it seems the television network will provide both HTML5 for iPad (and iPhone/iPod Touch) and Flash for everyone else. If CBS.com is taking the initiative to cater to Flash-less iPad audiences, this could very well cause a domino effect and inspire other major networks to do the same.

Our big brother, iPhoneinCanada.ca has reported on why the iPhone doesn’t need Flash–could the iPad follow suit?

What do you think? Is the lack of Flash the deal breaker for the iPad?

Gmail Web Interface Updated for iPad!

by on April 2nd, 2010

Here’s the description

While surfing the web on your iPad, we expect many of you will want to check your Gmail. If you go to gmail.com in your browser, you’ll see something different than what you’re used to on the desktop. We’re releasing an experimental user interface for the iPad built on the Gmail for mobile HTML5 web app that we launched last year for the iPhone and Android devices. Those devices have large screens compared to other phones, and tablets like the iPad give us even more room to innovate. To take advantage of the iPad’s large display, we’ve created a two-pane view with your list of conversations on the left and messages to the right.

Take a look at this wicked screenshot:

I think it’s ingenius for Google to replicate how email will look on the iPad and port it over to the web interface. The screenshot above looks awesome. Well done, Google.

The issentiel case is one of the most elegant, well built cases I have had the pleasure using so far.  The iPhone cases are available in over 50 different styles and colors.  They have many different ipad cases to choose from also.

  The case arrived in a very nice box and soft pouch for protecting the case.  We spend hundreds of dollars on our devices but only a few measly dollars on a case to protect it.  Since the ipad and iphone are very expensive items, we must invoc a bit of our earnings on its protection as well.  Issentiel cases are the most elegant cases of their kind.  I have had the privilege of reviewing hundreds of cases for the iOS devices protection./  Through all my efforts and findings the issentiel cases is on of the finest cases available on the market today.  They are a bit more expensive than the average case.  I can only say what I believe to be true about issentiel and that is you get what you pay for.

  Issentiel cases are available for around $100 at  If you are looking for a case to protect your device with elegance and style, this case is well suited for the job. Feel free to leave any comments below.

Three Irish in the running for ‘best job in the world’

Three Irish people have been shortlisted from almost 350,000 entries across the globe for the “best job in the world”.

Richard Cullen, Allan Dixon, and Heber Hanly are amongst 150 candidates from 35 countries still in contention for Tourism Australia’s six dream jobs Down Under — wildlife caretaker in South Australia, chief funster in New South Wales, park ranger in Queensland, taste master in Western Australia, outback adventurer in Northern Territory, and lifestyle photographer in Melbourne, Victoria.

Applications for the global competition closed on Apr 10, with more than 600,000 expressions of interest submitted by close to 350,000 people from 196 countries. Entrants were asked to complete a 30-second video explaining why they should get the job, with the three Irish lads making the grade with their mix of snappy, witty, and imaginative entries.

Richard and Heber applied for the role of lifestyle photographer and Allan for outback adventurer. Each will now be asked to provide supporting job references which, if successful, would see them invited to a final assessment in Australia in mid-June, with the six successful job candidates announced on Jun 21.

The six jobs each come with a six-month salary package worth A$100,000 (€79,000) including living costs.

In 2009, Tourism Queensland ran a highly successful “best job in the world” competition for the chance to be an island caretaker on an island in the Great Barrier Reef.

Andrew McEvoy, the managing director with Tourism Australia, said he was delighted to see three people from Ireland progress to the final stages.

“The Irish entries are all fantastic. Now it’s time for the short listed contestants to show the Irish public what they’re made of. We’re looking for great storytellers, someone adventurous, inspiring — a person eager to jump into the role and soak up all Australia has to offer.”

The competition is part of a major international marketing push to promote tourism opportunities provided by Australia’s working holidaymaker programme.

Man held evicted family's passports

A landlord accused of illegally evicting a Nigerian family said he kept their passports, medical cards, bank cards, and marriage and birth certificates “for safe keeping”.

Eugene McKeever rented his house at The Boulevard, Tyrrelstown, to Jhon and Adabat Adigun and their children on November 28th 2011, a Private Residential Tenancies Board tribunal heard.

Ms Adigun claimed that when alone in the house on February 12th, Mr McKeever and five other men used a ladder to gain access. She claimed he restrained her, and when she tried to call out he pushed a pillow against her face. Mr McKeever said yesterday the allegations were “total lies”.

He said he received “an abusive call” from the Adiguns after they moved in, requesting more beds, and he asked the letting agent to cancel the contract. After repeated requests from Jhon Adigun to sign a rent allowance form, he said, “I was told I wouldn’t get rent unless I signed the form.”

Eviction notices

He said that when the Adiguns failed to pay rent, he issued them with a handwritten “12-day notice” of eviction and a subsequent 28-day notice.

He said that when delivering the second notice, “They demanded €3,000 and then they would leave the house.”

Mr McKeever described how on February 12th his son used a ladder to gain entry, letting in Mr McKeever, his brother Gerard and his son-in-law. Mr McKeever and his brother went upstairs and found Mrs Adigun in a bedroom.

Gerard McKeever said he “didn’t know” if she was wearing pyjamas when evicted. Of her attempt to make a call, he said, “I picked the phone up and put it in my pocket”.

Eugene McKeever said he kept the family documents “in a safe place until everything was clean and clear”.

Hearing of evidence in the case has finished. A decision is due within 12 weeks.

Typewriters, Telegrams Cling to Life in Burma

A woman offers phone service in downtown Rangoon. (Photo: Reuters)

RANGOON — Perched on a stool on a bustling sidewalk in Burma’s biggest city, an elderly gentleman pecks away on a clunky manual typewriter. It’s a will, Aung Myint says, barely looking up as his fingers rise high over the keys and hammer down with a steady sense of purpose.

He points with his chin to the stack of papers he still needs to get through before he heads home, 30 or more, many of them legal papers hastily delivered by lawyers who work at the courthouse down the street.

Reminders of a bygone era cling stubbornly and quaintly in Burma, a country that was in many ways frozen in time during a half-century of dictatorship and self-imposed isolation. Now, three years into the Southeast Asian country’s bumpy transition to democracy, smartphones and computer shops are common, but so are phone stands and typists. Even telegrams have not quite made their exit.

Aung Myint says his work is steady enough, but a far cry from the days of military rule, when he spent most of his time typing up authors’ novels for submission to the now-defunct censorship board. He rarely broke for lunch back then, often working by candlelight well after shops were shuttered and businessmen had long gone home.

How does the 67-year-old manage to keep going as his country belatedly joins the computer age? He says there are still those who feel a document lacks an authentic air unless it’s pulled from the roll of a manual typewriter.

Plus, he adds, there are several benefits to typing.

“You don’t need to waste time with printing,” Aung Myint said. “And if you make a mistake, you can just erase it and type over it. It’s easier.”

Not far from the typist, Thin Thin Nu has a table on the sidewalk with five clunky, push-button phones. Such stands remain a common sight in Rangoon, though less so than they were a few years ago.

Thin Thin Nu said many people use her phones only because their mobile phone batteries have died. But with a monastery and a school less than 100 meters away, she gets plenty of other business. Monks call their families in faraway villages. Impatient kids ring their moms to say they are waiting to be picked up.

She’s also a line of communication for young lovers.

“When girls are talking to their boyfriends, they lean in as close as they can to the tree next to the table, picking at the bark, or nervously twisting the iron chain around its trunk,” Thin Thin Nu says.

“Other times they’ll fight, banging down the receiver wildly. I’ve even been asked to lie, to tell the voice on the other end of the line, ‘She is not here anymore,’ when the girl is sitting right across from me.”

Thin Thin Nu makes only about US$15 a day, less than half what she was making before the country of 60 million started opening up. But she thinks she can hang on a while longer. Most people in Rangoon and the rest of Burma remain desperately poor, and her service, offered for 50 kyat (less than 5 cents) a minute, is still the best deal they can get.

Poverty does not quite explain why government telegraph offices are still running. The few customers who saunter into the Rangoon office, sometimes hours apart, are now mostly bank employees, sending undecipherable coded messages to offices in far-flung corners of the country that have yet to enter the digital age.

Than Tin, a 58-year-old, salt-and-pepper-haired clerk, remembers his first days in the grand, British colonial-era building. A thousand people used to line up in the cavernous waiting hall, eager to send love letters, appeals for cash and other urgent missives to remote villages and faraway lands.

“It was a cool job back then,” he said, peering over the counter into the now near-empty waiting room.

“It’s not that it’s boring, really,” he sighs. “But yes, it’s pretty clear times are changing.”

Judges Route: Mt Arrowsmith:
    I have made up a "Topo/Image Map", with the appox. location of the trail up the Judges Route marked in green dots. The Purple Stars when clicked on will open another page with a picture from that location.
From the Standard Route looking over at part off the main summit Looking across at Mt Cokley A Halo formed around my shadow early one morning while on the main summit A small plane buzzed me as I reach the first summit A good veiw of the Alberni Valley Watching the clouds roll up the rock face Looking down at the Cameron Valley Just 20 minites from reaching the summit of Mt Arrowsmith in the late summer. The rock face of Mt Arrowsmith completly blasted with snow Trees bairly able to stand under the weight of all the snow Looking down the West Ridge with a fair jag of snow on it. Boxing Day 2001 Whew!!! a nice spot to take a break and take in the awsome views around you. Looking down towards Mt Moriarty The trees are alot smaller now Heading out of the timber line The trail starts to wind around a small rock bluff I was lucky to capture the suns  light rays penitrate through the heavy canopy above.  The trail starts by winding up through old growth forest Special thanks goes to Alberni Valley Outdoors club and the Tuesday Walkers for their time and effort in mantaining the trail. Trail head off into the bush just left of Spaz. A view looking back towards town, early morning during the summer. Snowshoeing up the road in the Winter Winter/Summer parking is located 30 meters up from turn off On the drive up you quite often see the cloads hang low in the Valley
How to get there??     If you are traveling from the West Coast, drive through Port Alberni heading towards Parksville. Turn right at the turn-off to mt Arrowsmith Ski Hill. If your coming from the East side of Vancouver Island. Travel West along Highway 4# towards Port Alberni and turn left at the turn-off to Mt Arrowsmith. From here drive down a rough road for 3kms. At the T intersection turn left, drive for approx. 10 kms, cross Cameron River and take the next main turn to your left. The road will now start heading up at good grade, with lots of wash board. Drive for about 3kms, or count the roads, you want the fifth road on your right. You should see some flagging tape of assort. colors. You can drive up the road and park just before the trail head if you own a 4X4 if not there is parking about 30 meters up from the turn-off. I hope that you enjoyed viewing the Image Map of the Judges Route Trail Cheers: Quagger

Albert Einstein and the Parsha

There is a connection. Read on.

Dr. Aryeh Hirsch,

ארכיון איינשטיין
ארכיון איינשטיין
יוני קמפינסקי

For the last 90 years, there has been an argument raging among physicists. The positions were first expressed by the greats of physics of the 20th century: in this corner Niels Bohr, and in that corner, none other than Albert Einstein.

After Werner Heisenberg first proposed his uncertainty principle, the great Bohr toiled endlessly to come up with a theory to explain experimental results that came streaming in. Heisenberg had found that one could not simultaneously measure the position and momentum/velocity of an electron- hence, uncertainty. As more and more “weird” results poured in- weird by the standard of Newtonian physics, and everyday “common sense”- Bohr came up with what has become known as the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics.

Based on the work of Heisenberg, Max Born and others, Bohr could only explain the experimental results and their explanations if “there is no quantum reality beyond what is revealed by an act of measurement or observation. Hence it is meaningless to say, for example, that an electron exists somewhere independent of an actual observation”(Manjit Kumar, in Quantum: Einstein, Bohr and the Great Debate about the Nature of Reality, p.376).

Problem is, Bohr and Heisenberg were not the most humble of personalities. Bohr said that his theory of quantum mechanics was “complete”, allowing no other interpretation. Subsequently, for the next  70 years, no competing theory was “politically correct “ in scientific circles; anyone thinking otherwise was ostracized - and simply not funded with research grants, the scientific kiss of death.

Worse, as with Darwin’s theory of evolution, lesser minds and those with agendas took the theory way beyond quantum mechanics. Even if true on the quantum level, the idea that the world around us lacks reality is highly dangerous. Thus:”If I can’t see the electron, it doesn’t exist” led to “if I can’t see the human soul, or G-d, then the soul and He don’t exist”.

If the big, macro world has no reality anyway, why not steal, cheat, lie or murder. Small wonder that Heisenberg, who had no trouble acknowledging the collaboration of others in his work, later stole the ideas of Jewish physicist (and refugee from Nazi Germany) Lise Meitner, and then himself collaborated with the Nazis in their atomic bomb program. With no observable soul nor G-d, it’s not hard to take the next step and work for Adolf Hitler, may his memory be erased.

Thus it was that there was only one man on earth who could have stood up against this tide. Derided as “over the hill’ and senile, Albert Einstein famously said (probably in another context) that “G-d does not play dice” with Creation. More to the point was his comment:” Does the moon exist only when you look at it?”. Einstein had a context he was dealing from, and it’s a very Jewish one: the world we see has reality, and that reality is “governed by causal laws that it was the job of the physicist to discover” (Kumar, p. 352).

If the Copenhagen interpretation led to the conclusion that nothing in this universe has existence while not being observed, Einstein felt that it could not be a “complete” theory; it had to be missing some essential piece/s that had not yet been discovered.

Where did Einstein get this belief? Certainly, from classical Newtonian physics. But Judaism, of course, has its pillar in The Existence, of an Invisible, Unobservable Primal Existence, G-d. And as we’ve seen, Einstein certainly believed in such a G-d (One who does not play dice).

Moreover, it is possible that he was somewhat familiar with German Rabbi Shimshon Raphael Hirsch. At the very beginning of his magnum opus, his commentary on the Bible, Rav Hirsch comments on: “In the beginning, the Lord created heaven (שמים, shamayim) and earth”. The word for the heavens, shamayim, has as its root “sham”, the word for “there”, pure being, existence. Rav Hirsch says that in this first verse of the Torah, the Almighty promises mankind that it need not doubt the existence of the Universe he sees about him- it IS real.

This Hirschian idea may have been bandied about in the geographical area in which Einstein lived, and he may have heard it, even if not in the name of Rav Hirsch.

The fascinating part of this story is that Einstein was knowledgeable in other fields, including modern psychology. One argument he used against the Copenhagen interpretation was firmly grounded in experimental psychology: humans only “see” according to their preconceived notions, their “theories”. In his book How We Decide, Jonah Lehrer discusses this point extensively. Lehrer cites the example of the “conceptia”, the preconceived ideas limiting the vision of the Israeli General Staff in the months leading up to the Yom Kippur War. As a physician, I know that if I view the patient’s story (or the way he/she presents it) with doubt, I could easily look at their XRay and never see a fracture that is clearly visible to the radiologist who never talked to the patient. Thus, its existence could not depend on “seeing” an electron: if one’s preconception was that the electron did not exist, one would never see it, or any other variables hidden by the theory.

What does all this have to do with our Parsha, Ve'etchanan?

First, again and again, this Parsha stresses, as Rav Matis Weinberg notes, SEEING:

“You SAW with your own eyes what G-d did in the matter of Ba’al Peor..   (Devarim 4; 2);

“You have been made to SEE, to know that G-d- He is G-d… (Devarim4; 35);

“Indeed, G-d has allowed us to SEE” (Devarim 5; 24). Other examples abound. I previously quoted Rav Weinberg on the correlation of seeing the whole picture in relation to this Parsha’s two covenants, that of the Land and that of the Torah; one sees a whole picture, at once, and so omitting any part of either covenant is a fundamental mistake (“Do not omit any clauses to the words of Torah law”-Dvarim 4; 2).

Here, Rav Weinberg “sees” a whole different lesson. For this Parsha not only mentions Torah and Ten Commandments; it also stresses idolatry, Avoda Zara-and idolatry is nothing except preconceived notions and projections of self. Man has a mental picture of a god - be it golden calf, Pe’or, dollar bill, communism,or Triangles( “If triangles invented a god, they would make him three-sided”; Montesquieu) - and he goes out and makes that god the context of his entire life.

Rav Weinberg stresses that this is what the Rambam refers to in Hilchot Teshuvah, when in the beginnings of chapters 5 and 7 he refers to Reshut, license. “רשות לכל אדם ניתנה”, permission is given to every man to build his own little world. Man’s little preconceptions  and delusions will work for awhile, but eventually they catch up with him, as G-d has enough of these fixed delusions and removes that fellow from His world.

What is the answer to these notions and idolatries? Parshat Ve'etchanan always follows Tisha B’Av (the fast of the 9th of Av) The Talmud introduces the story of the Exile and Tisha B’Av with Rav Yochanan’s dictum: the destruction of Jerusalem is an example of the verse in Proverbs (28; 14) ;"Fortunate is the man who always fears the consequences of his actions; and he that hardens his heart will come to harm’”(Gittin 55b). He is saying that instead of fixed, preconceptions, a person needs to always fear that his ideas and actions could be wrong.

This self-correcting behavior is proper in science , and in life in general. Einstein knew the philosophy of science well enough: all progress in human knowledge has come about from questioning the given notions of the time, just as he, Einstein, had attacked Newtonian physics as being an “incomplete” theory.

So too, Israel, in its long historical march toward perfection, must be willing to question what we do and think, and humble enough to admit that we have failed up to now. If all our Yeshivot have not brought Moshiach; if all our peace processes have brought nothing but war, and certainly no light to the nations (Devarim 4;6-8); then we must be doing something wrong.

Progress will only come when we break out of our preconceived Avodot Zara (idolatries and self-projections) and be open to correction and life-giving Teshuva.

"At a time when our forces are decisively beating Hamas, we must not stop the operation now because of foreign pressure. The IDF is winning against Hamas, let it finish the operation for all the sake of all of Israel," he said.

Exclusive: Squatters Ordered Off Stolen Jewish Land in Jerusalem

The Jerusalem Magistrates Court has ordered Arab squatters off of land owned by a Jewish man after a 15-year legal battle. Monday is the showdown.

Ezra HaLevi,

A Jewish man has won a fifteen-year battle against Arab squatters who seized his land in southern Jerusalem. The police are supposed to restore the property to him Monday, by force if necessary.

Yitzchak Herskovitz fought in court against Arab squatters from Bethlehem for 15 years over his property. An initial victory was followed by an appeal, during which the squatters promised to pay him rent and later refused.

Police have now told Herskowitz he has one day to pay for police protection in order to remove the squatters and take control of his land, which is located on Jerusalem’s Derech Hevron Street, just past the Sonol station on the right, before the turn to Givat HaMatos and then to Gilo.

That day is this coming Monday, July 2.

The land was purchased from the estate of an Armenian Christian in 1972 by a Jewish man who lived in Los Angeles and bought it while visiting Israel. He sold it to Herskovitz, who researched the ownership and deeds extensively before buying the property in 1992.

An Arab from Bethlehem’s infamous Tamra clan invaded the property, which was unoccupied at the time by the owner, and moved into the area with his three sons. The squatters then refused to budge, claiming that the original owner had defaulted on a loan from him. Herskovitz brought in handwriting and document experts who proved that the loan document was a fraud – that the date had been tampered with and that the writer of the document was the same as the one who had signed it.

Police refused to evict the occupants without court order. “I spent over 15 years in the court battle to obtain a judgment and order of eviction,” Herskovitz says. “But now that I’ve won, the Arabs are attempting to turn this into an emotional and political battle.”

Herskovitz said he was warned by an officer of the court that since the Arabs are attempting to use the media and leftist groups to turn the issue into a political one, the only way for him to ensure the recovery of his property is to have a large number of supporters at the site to fight the battle in the public arena.

“I need at least one busload of people as a display of solidarity and justice,” Herzkovitz told Arutz-7. “They (the Tamra clan) fought this in court for 15 years and lost. A battle that took years and thousands of shekels, patience and fortitude to fight and they now want to use political means to prevent justice from being served.”

Herskovitz is particularly angered that after the lengthy court battle, the police are still not implementing the court order automatically. “The police are using it to get money into their slush fund. They want to have two people do the job with 30 policemen watching them. I have to pay the 30 policeman to do their job. All the police have to do is handcuff them and kick them out. They don’t even have Israeli citizenship, but are residing in Israel illegally.

Attorney Tamar Rubin, who represented Herskovitz in the Jerusalem Magistrate Court, confirms that police are charging money to implement the court order. She said that earlier this month, an attempt to confiscate property at the site, also on a court order, to cover the debts owed by the squatters was thwarted when other Arabs removed the property and fled the scene while police argued with the squatters.

Rubin says she doubts whether the squatters will receive much assistance from the adjacent Israeli-Arab town of Beit Safafa, due to their being from a clan based near Tekoa, in eastern Gush Etzion. But she does not rule out the use of violence by the squatters, who she says do not take the eviction order seriously, believing the threat of violence will cause the police to back down. Police, in the past have cited threats of violence from Jerusalem's Arabs in order to postpone implementation of a court order.

Both the Magistrates Court and Police spokesmen said the other should be the one to explain the reasoning behind requiring Herskovitz to pay for the implementation of the court order.

Various activist groups are planning to accompany Herskovitz when he goes to recover his property to ensure that police do not back down from implementing the court order. Groups will meet at 8 AM at the nearby Sonol gas station, next to the National Diamond Center (with the large menorah on its roof).

For more information, contact Herskovitz at 02 996 1120 or 050 852 6096

LinkedIn has launched its latest tool for sales professionals – Sales Navigator, which aims to help sellers reach buyers through the social network.

What’s interesting about Sales Navigator is that it’s being branded as a “stand-alone experience” and a software as a service solution, which uses a separate login from a user’s LinkedIn account. The tool also pulls together insights from several accounts, which makes it easier for salespeople who are managing more than just a few accounts and previously had to do manual searches for all of them.

Now available for both the desktop and mobile, Sales Navigator gives salespeople account recommendations for new leads. There are also options for running advanced leads searches, as well as options to use LinkedIn’s other tools, including its mail system through InMails, Who’s Viewed Your Profile, and TeamLink, which allows users to find their team members’ connections and former colleagues.

For salespeople looking to leverage relationships with existing contacts, if any key contacts make the news or are featured in the media, those contacts will also show up with the tool, thanks to an integration with Newsle. Salespeople also get notifications if their contacts switch roles, take new jobs, or if they have mutual contacts on LinkedIn they haven’t connected with yet.

Aside from the Newsle integration, Sales Navigator also pulls together a customer relationship management integration with Salesforce and Microsoft Dynamics.

“As the leader of a large sales organization, I’ve seen first hand how social selling can benefit and transform sales teams. It has the power to reduce cold calls, and turn them into warm introductions,” wrote Mike Derezin, global head of sales and sales solutions at LinkedIn, in a blog post.

“Sales Navigator is a data-driven product that enhances the buyer-seller relationship and makes it more efficient … We make it easy for sales professionals to stay updated about key accounts, focus on the right people, and build trusted relationships along the way.”

However, in his post, Derezin added LinkedIn members not using the Sales Navigator tool can still decline connection requests or block members, if they don’t want to receive requests to connect from salespeople.

Right now, LinkedIn has currently served up the Sales Navigator tool to ADP, HootSuite, Juniper Networks and Swiss Re in a pilot phase. Pricing is set based on the number of users who have access to Sales Navigator.

LinkedIn currently has about 316 million members, Derezin said.

    The prospecting features on the new Sales Navigator are powerful. The
    most important element, however, is the management reporting and
    dashboard. Having trained thousands of salespeople on advanced LinkedIn
    skills, I can say that the biggest contributor to adoption is when sales
    managers to actually manage social selling behaviors by seeing trends
    and coaching.

National Champion Wrestler

Ricardo Gomez ’13 capped his senior season with the Ithaca Bombers in the best possible way—as a national champion. Competing at the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championship in March, he powered his way to a 4-2 decision victory in the finals of the 125-pound weight class, becoming the 11th individual national champion in the history of IC’s wrestling program.

Gomez, an accounting major and two-time state place-winner in high school, began his college wrestling career at Nassau Community College, where he was a two-time NJCAA runner-up. Joining the Bombers as a junior in 2011, he posted an impressive 20-7 overall record, earned all-state honors at the 125-pound weight class, and competed as IC’s entrant at the Empire Collegiate Wrestling Conference meet. He also placed third at the Ithaca Invitational and fourth at York College’s New Standard Corporation Invitational, competing at 133 pounds.

Gomez built on his success his senior year: he posted 25 regular-season wins and just two losses and entered the NCAA Division III Wrestling Championship as the top seed in his bracket.

In the finals he faced Jimmy Gotto, a junior from Coe College who had placed third in regional competition before making an unexpected run to the finals of the 125-pound championship bout.

Gomez took the lead early and never looked back, earning a 4-2 decision to seal the victory, the national title, and the perfect ending to a stellar career with the Ithaca Bombers. He finished the season at 29-2, and earned the Empire Collegiate Conference Wrestler of the Year Award.

Gomez’s brother, Alex Gomez ’13, placed sixth in the 133-pound weight class, and Jules Doliscar ’13 placed second in the 174-pound weight class, both earning all-American status.
