Biblical Critics Disproved Again

1 Samuel 11:1
"Then Nahash the Ammonite came up, and encamped against Jabeshgilead: and all the men of Jabesh said unto Nahash, Make a covenant with us, and we will serve thee."

Over the last couple of centuries, many Bible scholars have developed a skeptical approach to the Bible. Their treatment of the Bible as nothing more than a human document stems from their belief in evolution. According to them, Christianity has evolved from earlier religions just as humans evolved.

biblical criticsAs a result, critics reject the idea that the Bible is God's inerrant, inspired, trustworthy Word. Because they hold this low view of the Bible, they believe that they have found many errors in the Bible over the years. At one time they said that the Hittites mentioned in the Old Testament never existed. They said that ancient biblical writers invented these people so that Israel could make up pretend victories over them. Eventually, the Hittites were discovered, one of the first evidences being hard-to-ignore six-foot-tall jars! Over the years, these critics have been consistently proven wrong by new discoveries.

Likewise, critics have said that the Israelites could not have entered Canaan when the Old Testament says they did. They reason that because the Old Testament mentions the Ammonites – which critics said didn't live in Canaan until later – the Bible's dating is in error. However, in the summer of 1989, biblical archaeologists proved that the Ammonites were in Canaan well before the Bible's date for the exodus. Again, Bible critics have been proven wrong.

As one biblical archaeologist wrote, "As usual, the absence of evidence is not necessarily the evidence of absence." When the Bible says something is true, there is no question of its truth.

Dear Father, I thank You that Your Word is always true, because people are easily fooled and fall into error. Build me up in both faith and the knowledge of Your Word. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Wyse Customers Report Significant Benefits of Cloud Client Computing

VDI Deployments Continue to Grow as Businesses Benefit From Better Management, Lower TCO and Higher Security (May 08, 2012)

SAN JOSE, CA -- (Marketwire) -- 05/08/12 -- Wyse Technology, the global leader in cloud client computing, today announced ongoing customer momentum of the adoption of Wyse hardware and virtualization software alongside desktop virtualization solutions from Citrix. Wyse is currently exhibiting at Citrix Synergy™ 2012, the premier event on cloud computing, virtualization and networking at Booth #206. Citrix Synergy runs from May 9-11, 2012.

"Citrix and Wyse have been working together to deliver the best technology solutions for IT users for many years now," according to Maryam Alexandrian, Senior Vice President Worldwide Sales and Channels at Wyse Technology. "Across industries such as financial services, healthcare, government, education and many more, both companies strive to improve end user and IT experience through the development of innovative new technologies."

Wyse will be demonstrating its broad range of cloud client computing solutions at Citrix Synergy, including the unveiling of a new solution that will change everything.

Cancer Research UK is Britain's leading cancer charity and is dedicated to beating cancer through research. The charity is migrating systems to the cloud using the latest Wyse and Citrix technologies to simplify IT management while improving the end user experience for staff in its head office and call centre. As Jane Swindle, IS Service Manager, Cancer Research says:

"The greater efficiencies of a successful, reliable virtual desktop infrastructure means that Cancer Research UK can put IS operational costs back into its life-saving work. Together Wyse and Citrix are enabling us to build and run a virtual desktop infrastructure that's easy and cost effective to manage and will evolve with the charity's needs for the best possible information tools."

John Trujillo, VP of Technology
Pacific Life Insurance Company, Newport Beach, CA
"Pacific Life is embracing the cloud with a focus on business value, capabilities and employee work/life balance issues and virtualization is the key enabler. Our combination of Wyse and Citrix is the key to the company's remote worker strategy and has helped us solve two key problems: how to grow within our current office environment, and how to avoid the cost of having to build a data center."

Brian Gorgas, Vice President of Global Infrastructure Delivery

"It's not often that you can do something that delivers high business value while also making your most valued employees happy. Since we implemented the Citrix and Wyse solution to enable teleworking, people are happier, more productive, and take fewer sick days. Employees have called me out of the blue to thank me for making it possible for them to greet their kids when they get home from school."

Douglas Meade, Director of IT

"Even more so than corporate users, students and teachers need robust access devices and prioritize the ability to work outside school buildings and outside school hours -- and that's exactly the challenge that VDI and Wyse thin clients meet so perfectly."

Mike Grosse, CTO
Sullivan University System, Kentucky
"IT is central to the mission of the school... But like so many universities, we're feeling the economic crunch... I knew that to fully benefit from virtualization, I would need endpoint devices that had no embedded operating system, so that they would simply act as access points for the virtual desktops, without requiring any management of their own."

Robert Dixon, Director of Information Technology
University of Colorado, Boulder, CO
"For me, the fact that we were able to put it on a VDI and access it with Wyse devices means that cloud client computing is powerful enough to meet the needs of most universities, colleges, and companies. VDI has come a long way, and our Wyse thin clients bring it to our users in an elegant, user-friendly, and energy-efficient way."

Sri Lanka were rewarded after the Asia Cup win as well © AFP
Sri Lanka were rewarded after the Asia Cup win as well © AFP

Colombo: Mar 13, 2014

Sri Lankan cricketers will get pocket a huge bonus of USD 500,000 if they reach the final of the upcoming World Twenty20 in Bangladesh. It will be in addition to USD 500,000 which will be given to the players as participating fee. The decision was taken by Executive Committee of the Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) on Thursday.

This was sequel to player discussion based on a demand to pay them 20 per cent of the income derived from ICC events. The matter was referred yesterday [Wednesday] to the committee for a decision after talks ended inconclusive yesterday.

If the team reached semifinals in the world T20, the players will get USD 250,000. The participating fee for the World Cup 2015, to be held in Australia and New Zealand, would be USD 750,000 while a further 250,000 each are to be paid if the team reached semi final and final.

A bonus of 750,000 awaits if the team won the world cup. The Asia Cup winning team has also been rewarded with a bonus of USD 100,000.

There was no immediate comment from the players on the bonus payment plan. Players went in to talks with the SLC having refused to sign new playing contracts based on their demand for 20 per cent of the SLC’s ICC income.

Gayle Blasts Challengers To Win With Century

Royal Challengers Bangalore 175-1 (Gayle 102no) beat
Kolkata Knight Riders 171-5 (Gambhir 48) by 9 wickets
Indian Premier League 2011, Kolkata

Chris Gayle, the newest arrival at the Indian Premier League 2011, made a devastating debut for the Royal Challengers Bangalore, thumping a 55-ball century to smash them to victory over the Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens.

In front of a passionate home crowd, the Knight Riders batted well to reach 171 for five but with Gayle then carving his way to 102 not out, that score was inadequate and the Challengers got home with 11 balls in hand.

Gayle, opening with Tillakaratne Dilshan, set about his task of embarrasing his erstwhile employers Kolkata Knight Riders and he managed it by hitting ten fours and seven huge sixes on a day where batsmen enjoyed themselves.

Dilshan played a rare supporting role, making 38 in 31 balls and after he was dismissed - bowled by Lakshmipathy Balaji - Virat Kohli scored 30 not out in 23 balls to ease the Challengers to a desperately needed victory.

Earlier, Gautam Gambhir (48), Yusuf Pathan (46) and Jacques Kallis (40) had all made handy contributions but this was a game in which handy contributions were not nearly enough.

Pathan had the crowd in raptures by hitting three fours and three sixes as he faced just 26 balls but his innings was a mere sideshow to that which Gayle produced later on.

Devotionals Daily: A Year with Jesus

Grace for the Moment

By Max Lucado

God Entered Time

They will sing about what the LORD has done, because the LORD’s glory is great. -Psalm 138:5

When God entered time and became a man, he who was boundless became bound. . . . For more than three decades, his once limitless reach would be limited to the stretch of an arm, his speed checked to the pace of human feet.

I wonder, was he ever tempted to reclaim his boundlessness? . . . When the rain chilled his bones, was he tempted to change the weather? When the heat parched his lips, did he give thought to popping over to the Caribbean for some refreshment?

If ever he entertained such thoughts, he never gave in to them. . . . Not once did Christ use his supernatural powers for personal comfort. With one word he could’ve transformed the hard earth into a soft bed, but he didn’t. With a wave of his hand, he could’ve boomeranged the spit of his accusers back into their faces, but he didn’t. With an arch of his brow, he could’ve paralyzed the hand of the soldier as he braided the crown of thorns. But he didn’t.

-From He Chose the Nails

I'm not sure what you mean by so many passports. If you are a US citizen there is one passport book. Unless you are talking about the option to get the "passport card". You want the passport book which is $110 plus an execution fee of $25 if it is your first passport. The passport card that you can also get as an option can't be used for flying to or from a foreign country. If you are driving from the US to Mexico or Canada you can use the passport card. Some people like to get the passport card with their passport book to use the card as identification when they go ashore from a cruise and they leave their actual passport books locked in the safe.

1.La Quinta Cocoa Beach

2.Best Western Oceanfront

3.Radisson Resort at the Port

I had clients stay at the Radisson at the Port in August, and they liked it a lot. I haven't seen the hotel, nor any of the others you mentioned, myself.

Radisson has shuttles going to Port Canaveral every half hour. My clients reserved the 11:30am shuttle, but were in the lobby early, and were included on the 11am shuttle instead. It's a van, pulling a trailer that has the luggage.

I stayed at the Best Western and the beach was very nice, the rooms were okay - nothing special, but fine for an overnight.

I had friends that stayed at the Radisson and were pleased. No complaints on their end and will probably try it the next time I cruise from there.

Don't know anything about LaQuinta.

If price is comparable, I would opt for the Radisson also. The pool area is great, the service and rooms were quite nice and the shuttle service to the port is an added bonus.

Does anyone have an opinion on which cruise line has the best onboard care? My wife is undergoing chemo for breat cancer (2nd occurrence). She will finish up in the summer and I want to take her on a cruise in late August. We went on a cruise last year for our 10th anniversary and were planning another for Jan 2007 when she was diagnosed with recurrent breast cancer. I want to be on a ship that can help her if she gets sick.

Dave 02-02-2007 10:35 AM

Princess was part of the SeaMed program, where the Grand Princess could get live time advice from Cedars-Sinai hospital and specialists via a satellite link. I don't know if they still do this, or if it is on all of their ships.

gss 02-02-2007 10:59 AM

Thanks for the suggestion. I looked out on the net and through the princess web site but could not locate any references to Sea Med.

Dave 02-02-2007 11:36 AM

Just looking at their passenger demographics, and higher probability of illness among older passengers, I would look at Holland America too.

Mabob1 02-02-2007 11:49 AM

I've only ever had one instance on a cruise where I had to make use of the ship's doctor and that was on Royal Caribbean's Soveriegn of the Seas.

My son took ill with what we thought was bronchitis. It cost $250 just to see the ship's doctor who did nothing but give him a bottle of cough syrup for an additional $25!!

Upon debarkation, our family doctor diagnosed our son with pneumonia and prescribed antibiotics.

I don't know if all RCCL ships operate that way, but the medical care on the Sovereign left a rather unpleasant memory.

gss 02-02-2007 11:52 AM

Doesn't look like Holland America cruises to the Caribbean during Aug/Sept. Thats about the only time i can get free taht matches when my wife will be out of chemo. Should I contact princess dirctly or try to get info through a travel agent?

Dave 02-02-2007 12:44 PM

Use a qualified cruise specialist. Let them do the work for you! It won't cost you any more or less than if you book directly with the line.

Karen Knowlton 02-02-2007 02:36 PM

Not only that, but definitely purchase 3rd-party travel insurance at the time you book the cruise. (You can best do this thru a travel agent - the cruise line is only interested in selling you their own insurance.) If you buy the 3rd party insurance within a few days of your cruise deposit, most of the good insurance companies will waive the pre-existing medical condition exclusion. Without the insurance, or if purchased too late (or the wrong kind), any medical expenses you incur on the cruise will be your responsibility; with it, if you get the pre-ex waiver, you can be reimbursed for at least some of those expenses.

gss 02-02-2007 05:45 PM

Thanks one and all! I definitely will go thru a cruise specialist and I'll ask about the pre existing waiver for the trip insurance

Dave 02-02-2007 05:52 PM

The insurance is very important, as is making sure you fall into the pre-existing condidition waiver period. Be very careful here......make sure it is clear as can be that your wife's cancer is covered.

On a personal note, I hope all goes well for your wife. I have personal family experience with breast cancer, and I know what you two are going through. Godspeed.

A long view of Houston and Boston

The National Basketball Association playoffs are almost won by the team having the best center -- a lesson in history in which some of the key figures have been Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Willis Reed, and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Each has played on at least two world championship teams, and Russell, of course , led the old Boston Celtics to an incredible 11 titles in 13 years.

It probably would be a mistake, however, to assume that the Houston Rockets are going to beat the 1980-81 Celtics in the current playoff finals just because they have the league's outstanding pivotman in 6 ft. 11 in. Moses Malone. While Moses is every great thing they say he is, including maybe the league's most valuable player, his supporting cast might not be quite good enough to get him into the winner's circle.

First let's acknowledge that this is not the same Houston team that lost two more games than it won during the regular season while finishing in a tie with Kansas City for second place in the NBA's Midwest Division. This is a team that didn't really come together until the playoffs when it suddenly found holes in the Los Angeles Lakers' defense; chinks in the San Antonio Spurs' armor; and cavities in the Kansas City Kings' board work.

For this, Head Coach Del Harris deserves the ultimate tribute for the way he has organized his defense; kept Malone the hub of his offense; and provided Moses with the help he needed on the boards by constantly rotating three forwards. Their names are Robert Reid, Billy Paultz, and Bill Willoughby.

Harris has also substituted well, not only by keeping as much fresh personnel on the floor as possible, but by making sure that none of his players gets overpowered in matchups.

The best way to contain Houston, of course, is to nullify Malone, partly by having your own center come somewhere near his offensive totals, but mostly by having one forward drop off his man to help out against Moses on defense.

While Reid cannot be left alone because of his outside shooting ability, the same cannot be truly said of Paultz and Willoughby, who averaged only 13 points a game between them during the regular season. The fact that Los Angeles, San Antonio, and Kansas City all tried this drop-off tactic previously against Houston and lost doesn't necessarily mean that Boston can't make it work.

The Celtics have been successful this year (a league-leading 62-20 record followed by playoff victories over Chicago and Philadelphia) because they are primarily a team of role players, dedicated to their jobs. General Manager Red Auerbach and Head Coach Bill Fitch have created a team where everyone is a specialist, from center Robert Parish to forward Larry Bird to guard Nate Archibald to backup center Rick Robey.

Parish, often criticized for his indifference when he played with the Golden State Warriors, had exactly the kind of balanced season that Boston hoped for with almost 800 rebounds and an 18.9 scoring average.

Bird is the key to the Celtics because of his leadership, passing ability, strength on the boards, and shooting -- and Larry is also one of those players who can adjust his own game to the flow of events.

Generally, before Bird takes the offense into his own hands, he ascertains what the team lacks that night and provides it. And even though half the forwards he plays against can outjump him, his timing and his ability to block out under the boards make him one of the best rebounders in the league.

Cedric Maxwell, who starts at the forward position opposite Bird, is a player with a lot of peaks and valleys in his game, but one who was also third on the Celtics in scoring and rebounds and is a high percentage shooter.

The fellow who might cause Houston more problems coming off the bench than it expects is Kevin McHale, a 6-11 rookie center-forward who rarely scores big but who plays the tough defense and rebounds well. Boston obviously will use both McHale and Robey to spell Parish in an attempt to wear Malone down during the best-of-seven series.

While backcourts by themselves seldom win NBA titles, they often orchestrate them with their playmaking. The Celtics have an all-star guard this year in Archibald and three unspectacular but steady helpers in Chris Ford (who starts next to Archibald), plus Gerald Henderson and swingman M. L. Carr, who also sometimes plays forward.

Houston's highest scoring guard, 5-9 Calvin Murphy, doesn't even start. Instead he is used as a sixth man by Harris, who likes the offensive lift Murphy almost always provides coming off the bench.

Generally Harris starts Mike Dunleavy and Tom Henderson in the backcourt and uses Allen Leavell in a reserve role. All three are good ball handlers and passers, and while they don't penetrate much offensively, they can sometimes be dangerous because of their outside shooting.

The fact that Boston has won 13 straight from Houston dating back to 1978, including the only two regular-season games they played this year, probably should not be taken at face value.

Since the playoffs began Houston has been a different ball club -- smarter, more together, more physical, and more dedicated than it was during the regular season.

Even though everyone knows Malone must have a super series both offensively and on the defensive board for Houston to win, it would be wise not to underestimate the big man' s potential to dojust that.

We want to hear, did we miss an angle we should have covered? Should we come back to this topic? Or just give us a rating for this story. We want to hear from you.

Syria's Thumb on Lebanon Puts A Squeeze on the People's Choice

Many Lebanese would dump President Hrawi. But Syria wants him in place to cut a deal with Israel

IN a country where decisionmakers solved their quarrels over the barrel of a gun for much of a 16-year civil war, many hoped that this year's presidential election would provide a chance for democracy to reassert itself.

But this fragile democracy is proving to be no match for Syrian intervention. Syria has maintained a large military presence in Lebanon since 1990, when it ousted Prime Minister Gen. Michel Aoun. Since then, it has been seen to control Lebanon with an iron grip.

Neither the public nor the majority of political leaders want to see President Elias Hrawi - elected in 1989 as a compromise candidate following months of warfare between Syria and Army commander Aoun - remain in office.

Despite the overwhelming disenchantment with Mr. Hrawi, Lebanon's parliament, feeling the heat from Syria, is preparing to change the Constitution on Thursday to extend Hrawi's term for another three years.

Although the 1989 agreement that put an end to Lebanon's civil war forbids reelection of any president, few feel the courage to stand up to Syria.

Syria worries that a new president may be too independent, and may not allow Syria to negotiate on Lebanon's behalf for a peace agreement with Israel.

"The potential fate of Mr. Hrawi," argues Mohammed Mishmoushi, editor of the pro-Syrian daily al-Saffir, "is definitely linked to the peace process between Syria and Israel. If there is no progress toward agreement between Syria and Israel, Syria will undoubtedly want to keep Hrawi in place because he is considered a faithful ally."

Growls of disappointment were audible from several candidates - ready to put their names before the 129-member Lebanese parliament - after Syrian President Hafez al-Assad said last Wednesday that an "accord exists among Lebanon's leaders to prolong Hrawi's term."

Syria's Army keeps Lebanese in line

"Lebanon has no government," grumbles former Christian member of parliament Albert Moukheiber, a man widely respected for his probity. "All the politicians are constantly being summoned to Damascus to be told what to do. Nothing is decided in Beirut anymore.

Mr. Moukheiber, who recently formed an unofficial opposition movement to the government, insists that Lebanon will remain subservient to Syria as long as it is permitted to keep its 35,000-strong Army on Lebanese soil.

But Lebanese politicians bristle at the idea of being told what to do. An anonymous survey of parliament members in the influential Beirut daily al-Nahar showed that a majority remains opposed to the idea of renewing Hrawi's mandate - should the vote be kept secret. But therein lies the catch: Syria seems to have convinced parliament speaker Nabih Berri to forgo a secret vote.

Syria's rubber stamp

Adding to the political upset, Brig. Gen. Ghazi Kenaan, head of the Syrian military intelligence in Lebanon, reportedly said - in remarks leaked to the Beirut press - that Lebanon's parliament was forced to rubber-stamp an extension of Hrawi's term in office.

While the news came as no surprise to the general public, the brutal frankness of the remarks reminded Lebanese that they still have little say in running their own country.

"Outside meddling in Lebanese elections is not unusual," says Nizar Hamze, chairman of the political science department at the American University of Beirut. "This year Syria seems set to be the main outside force in our presidential election, but in previous years, Egypt, France, and the United States have all played roles in determining the outcome of Lebanese elections."

Lebanese politicians risk being discredited even further should they extend Hrawi's mandate in defiance of public opinion.

A sense of anger is building among the public as the economy stagnates and corruption flourishes. The failure of reconstruction schemes to improve living conditions, and a growing malaise among Christians who feel left out of a political process dominated by Syria, also contribute to this feeling.

A recent opinion poll in al-Saffir newspaper revealed that a majority of Lebanese of all political and religious backgrounds preferred the election of Army commander Emile Lahoud, suggesting that after years of war and chaos, most yearn for a strong, independent candidate who appears to be apolitical.

Although the poll also revealed Hrawi to be unpopular with both Christians and Muslims, Christians were decidedly more intransigent in their demands to oust him. Maronite Christians - who dominated Lebanese politics from 1943 until war broke out in 1975 - are especially hostile to the pro-Syrian Hrawi, a Maronite.

The largest Christian political organization, the mostly Maronite Kataeb Party, has boycotted the political process since parliamentary elections in 1992. Its leader, George Saade, remains opposed to extending Hrawi's term. "The Lebanese public will not stand for the renewal of Hrawi's mandate," he insists.

Sixers-Rockets: 5 things you need to know

Sixers-Rockets: 5 things you need to know

The Sixers (15-56) will try to avoid matching the longest losing skid in NBA history when they finish their three-game road trip against the Houston Rockets (48-22).

Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. (CSN) at the Toyota Center.

Let's take a closer look at the matchup:

1. History in the making
The Sixers' losing streak has produced some incredible numbers.

They've been outscored by 16.9 points a game, allowed 111 points a game and been held under 100 points 18 times.

Still, the only number that matters when the Sixers hit the floor on Thursday is one, as in they are just a single game away from tying the NBA record for consecutive losses with 26. The mark is currently held by the 2010-11 Cleveland Cavaliers.

While the Sixers would certainly like to avoid that scenario and win for the first time since Jan. 29, it likely won't happen in Houston. The Rockets sit in fourth place in the supremely-competitive Western Conference and have won four games in a row, all against teams under .500.

2. Fear the beard
Dwight Howard might want all the attention, but the focus of the Rockets clearly revolves around James Harden.

Harden is fifth in the NBA in scoring with 24.9 points per game. The All-Star is also averaging 5.7 assists, 4.6 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game. Plus, Harden connects on 36.9 percent of his shots from three-point range.

But don't confuse him for just a jump shooter. Harden lives in the lane with his patented Euro step. He averages 8.5 free throw attempts per game, fourth-highest in the entire league.

Harden missed the first game between these two teams earlier this season, a 123-117 overtime win on Nov. 13. However, he has recently been a matchup nightmare for the Sixers. The fifth-year guard averaged 31.0 points, 6.5 assists and 5.5 rebounds against them in the two meetings last season.

Whether he's knocking down jumpers with that lefty stroke or getting to the rim, Harden will pose a tough challenge for the Sixers on Thursday.

3. Duck and cover
Harden isn't the only player the Sixers have to worry about from beyond the arc.

The Rockets are a lethal team from three-point range. They attempt a league-high 26.1 shots from deep per game and are fifth in makes at 9.3.

The Sixers should know just how dangerous the Rockets are at hitting threes. They gave up 15 of them in this season's first matchup.

Thursday night won't be a situation when the Sixers can lock down the perimeter early and discourage their opponent from hoisting up treys. With the Rockets' habit of firing all night, the Sixers will need to pay heavy attention to their shooters.

4. Injuries
Tony Wroten (ankle) will miss his third straight game.

Nerlens Noel (knee) and Jason Richardson (knee) are out.

Howard knocked knees during practice on Wednesday, but the center will be fine to take the court against the Sixers.

Francisco Garcia missed the Rockets' last two games because of personal reasons.

5. This and that
• Despite the skid, the Sixers are somehow still ahead of the Milwaukee Bucks in the standings. The Bucks have the NBA's worst record at 13-58.

• While the Sixers have been outscored by 16.9 points per game during their skid, the 2010-11 Cavs were outscored by 13.7 points a night.

• The Rockets are shooting 52.9 percent from the field and 42.4 percent from three-point range during their four-game win streak.

• The Rockets haven't lost at home since Jan. 24, five days before the Sixers' last win.

• James Anderson led all scorers with 36 points during the season's first meeting between the teams.

Best of NBA: Rockets crush Pelicans to spoil Cousins' debut

Best of NBA: Rockets crush Pelicans to spoil Cousins' debut

NEW ORLEANS -- The Boogie-and-Brow era in New Orleans is off to a highly inauspicious start.

The Pelicans' tandem of newly acquired All-Star DeMarcus Cousins and All-Star Game MVP Anthony Davis was no match for the surging Houston Rockets on Thursday night.

Reserve Lou Williams hit seven 3-pointers and scored 27 points in his Rockets debut, and Houston crushed New Orleans, 129-99.

Davis had 29 points, and Cousins finished with 27 points and 14 rebounds. But New Orleans turned the ball over 20 times couldn't keep pace with the firepower of the Rockets, who hit 20 3-pointers.

Eric Gordon scored 19 points and Ryan Anderson added 17 in both players' first game in New Orleans since leaving the Pelicans. James Harden had 13 points and 14 assists (see full recap).

LeBron triple-double powers Cavs past Knicks
CLEVELAND -- LeBron James recorded his 48th career triple-double and Kyrie Irving scored 23 points, leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 119-104 victory over the New York Knicks, who hung on to superstar Carmelo Anthony and Derrick Rose at Thursday's trade deadline.

James scored 18 points and had 13 rebounds with 15 assists for his sixth triple-double of the season.

Anthony, the subject of trade rumors because of a strained relationship with Knicks President of Basketball Operations Phil Jackson, scored 20 points, going 9 of 25 from the field.

Kyle Korver scored 20 points for Cleveland, which is 8-1 in February and has beaten New York 10 straight times.

Courtney Lee had 25 points for New York, which has lost six of seven and is 12th in the Eastern Conference playoff race (see full recap).

Pistons rally from 18 down to beat Hornets in OT
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 33 points, including three 3-pointers late in the fourth quarter during a pulsating Detroit rally, and the Pistons outlasted the Charlotte Hornets 114-108 in overtime Thursday night.

Caldwell-Pope scored Detroit's last 11 points of regulation, and his 3-pointer with 18.2 seconds to play tied the game at 100. Kemba Walker scored Charlotte's final nine points of the fourth, but the Pistons forced him to give up the ball on the last possession, and Marco Belinelli missed a 3-pointer that could have won it.

Detroit, which was behind by 18 in the third quarter, never trailed in the overtime. Caldwell-Pope's 3-pointer with 55 seconds remaining put the Pistons up 110-102.

Charlotte led 85-70 at the start of the fourth but missed 14 of its first 15 shots in the period, enabling Detroit to cut into the lead.

Walker scored 34 points. Tobias Harris had 25 for the Pistons (see full recap).

Joel Embiid: With Mavs, Nerlens Noel 'to get the chance he wanted'

Joel Embiid: With Mavs, Nerlens Noel 'to get the chance he wanted'

CAMDEN, N.J. -- Nerlens Noel emerged from the trainer’s room in a red sweatshirt and made his rounds of handshakes and hugs. It would be his last time in the Sixers' training complex as a member of the team, marking the end of the longest-tenured player’s stay in Philadelphia.

The Sixers traded Noel to the Mavericks on Thursday for Justin Anderson, Andrew Bogut and a top-18 protected first-round pick (see story). He went through a portion of practice and was removed from it because of the deal.

Noel’s now former teammates had a strong reaction to his departure.

“Nerlens, he’s my guy,” Joel Embiid said. “He’s been my best friend since I got to Philly and I’m happy for him. He wants to start. I think in Dallas he’s going to get the chance to start and they’re going to re-sign him and they’re going to pay him a lot of money. Here it was kind of hard for him to start unless they were starting us together. But I’m happy for him. He’s going to get the chance he wanted.”

Noel’s future with the Sixers had been in question for two years as he enters restricted free agency this summer. Last season, the team struggled to find a way for him and Jahlil Okafor, both true centers, to play together. This season, the logjam was magnified when Embiid made his debut and took over the starting role.

Noel candidly spoke out about the overcrowding at the beginning of the season but that situation was sidetracked when he missed 23 games because of injury. Once he returned, he quickly was on the short end of minutes.

“I need to be on the court playing basketball,” Noel said in mid-December. “I think I’m too good to be playing eight minutes. Like, no, that’s crazy. That’s crazy. That’s crazy. They need to figure this s--- out.”

The Sixers did figure out his role, later making him the defensive leader of the second unit as Okafor became the odd man out. The Sixers also considered the possibility of pairing Noel and Embiid in the starting lineup, as they did with Embiid and Okafor, but that experiment played out only over a handful of minutes.

“I’m a little bit disappointed,” Embiid said of not playing more alongside Noel. “I thought we should have tried that a little bit more. I think the few times we did, it actually looked pretty good offensively and defensively.”

Of the bigs, it seemed like Okafor would be the one moved at the deadline after being held out of two games because of trade talks. In the end, it was Noel as the one to go on Thursday.

“He’s one of my favorite players here,” Dario Saric said. “He’s always ready for jokes, he’s always ready to enjoy every moment.”

Noel was the only player remaining from Brett Brown’s first season as head coach with the Sixers. Brown could not comment on the Noel trade because it was not official at the time he addressed the media.

Once the deal was made official, Sixers president of basketball operations Bryan Colangelo released a statement.

“We want to wish Nerlens the best of luck in Dallas and thank him for his contributions over the last few years," Colangelo said. "Justin Anderson is a talented, strong and defensive-minded wing who will fit nicely in Brett’s system. I’m certain Justin’s toughness and edge will add a tremendous amount to our team."

Ilyasova leadership missed
On Wednesday night the Sixers dealt Ersan Ilyasova to the Hawks for Tiago Splitter, a 2017 second-round pick and 2017 second-round pick swap rights. Even though Ilyasova played only 53 games for the Sixers, the veteran leader left his mark.

“He was a consummate pro,” Brown said. “He helped teach our young guys about that professionalism and helped contribute to our culture. He was good. You add those things up and we’re going to miss him.”

Ilyasova’s departure affects those who played with him and behind him. Embiid credited Ilyasova for stretching the floor when they were in the starting lineup together.

Saric, though, is perhaps the most impacted by the trade. Saric moved to the second unit when Ilyasova took over the starting role. He learned from his fellow international power forward, who helped him adjust to the NBA on and off the court. Saric is likely to get the nod as a starter (see story).

“For me, it’s hard,” Saric said. “I lost in Ersan some kind of mentor.”

Brown also plans to play Robert Covington and Richaun Holmes at power forward at times, as well. If Covington slides over from small forward, Brown eyes Timothe Luwawu-Cabarrot, Gerald Henderson and Nik Stauskas as players who could fill in at the three spot.

The Sixers will resume activity on Friday morning for shootaround ahead of their game against the Wizards. They will approach that contest without familiar faces on the court.

“I lost two good friends,” Saric said. “But this is the NBA. This is part of the business, part of the job.”

The Early Adopter’s Guide to Securing the Software-Defined Data Center

With Gartner estimating that more than 85% of data center workloads are now virtualized, it’s clear that the age of the software defined data center (SDDC) is upon us. The next steps in the evolution toward SDDC will be moving other traditionally hardware-bound functions like networking and storage into a full “as-a-service” model, so that applications and workloads can be flexibly provisioned and resourced in both private and public cloud environments.

There are many IT and business advantages to infrastructure virtualization, including:

  • More flexible and fluid allocation of existing resources
  • Faster deployment of new resources
  • Lower failure rates
  • Higher availability
  • Hardware and processing workloads can be managed independently

Given these benefits, it’s not surprising that one study predicts the SDDC market will grow at a compound annual rate of 28.8% over the next four years to surpass $77 billion in 2020.

However, SDDC also introduces some new complexities, particularly in the area of security. One of the few advantages of the old hardware-constrained model was that breaches could be more easily confined to physical servers. That isn’t the case with virtual infrastructure. Intruders may be more difficult to detect and may also be able to do more damage by traversing virtual machines (VMs) once inside the firewall.

That isn’t a reason to ignore the many benefits of a fully virtualized architecture, however. By designing security into the migration process, IT organizations can actually improve their defenses.

One of the reasons companies struggle with security today is that they’ve applied tools and technologies in a patchwork fashion over time as computers have become more connected and new threats have emerged. SDDC is an opportunity to rethink your approach to the data center. By baking security into the process, you can make your entire infrastructure more resilient.

Take Advantage of Automation

The SDDC is characterized by a high degree of automation because many tasks that were once performed manually in hardware have moved to software. Automation is useful for security as well. New security technologies are designed specifically for the unique characteristics of highly virtualized environments, such as large amounts of cross-VM traffic. Security pros can use automation to provision these tools according to the unique characteristics of each situation, rather than throwing them like a blanket over every asset in the data center.

For example, policy-driven automation can be used to provision specific security profiles for each application or virtual machine, with those protections traveling with the VM as it moves between on-premise and public cloud infrastructure.

The SDDC also permits more fine-grained tracking of activity across the network. A new breed of security analytics technology can gather system and network activity logs and analyze them to spot anomalies and suspicious patterns. Advanced threat intelligence shared between connected systems can provide all parties with better information about emerging threats. These capabilities not only give IT better visibility into the environment but also the capacity to more easily spot vulnerabilities that originate inside the organization, such as zombie servers and unauthorized use of cloud services.

As you proceed down the path toward SDDC, keep these best practices in mind:

  • Adopt new security technologies designed specifically for virtualized environments, such as policy-based orchestration and intrusion detection systems designed to monitor “east-west” traffic between VMs.
  • Choose low-risk pilots and sandboxed applications at first to become familiar with the tools and environment.
  • Apply micro-segmentation, which subdivides the data center into logical elements that can each be managed with their own security policies. This helps to limit intruders from moving laterally within the infrastructure.
  • Double down on existing practices such as policy implementation and control, monitoring, and patch management. Virtualized infrastructure makes patching easier because machines can be taken off-line temporarily without disrupting operations.
  • Adopt tools that provide visibility into all tiers of the local network as well as any cloud infrastructure you may use.
  • Most experts agree that breaches are inevitable, so have a strategy for quickly detecting, isolating and containing intruders.
  • Use two-stage authentication and encryption with highly sensitive data.
  • Subscribe to sources like the Open Networking Foundation to stay abreast of new developments in security for software-defined networks.

The software-defined data center opens new horizons in flexibility and scalability. Think security from the outset and your entire operation will be better off for it.

Clark caps fourth quarter rally as Seahawks take season opener, 17-14

More news about: Salve Regina

SCHENECTADY, N.Y. – Freshman Christian Clark (Williamsport, Pa.) hit a 35-yard field goal with 10:01 remaining, capping a run of 11 unanswered fourth quarter points for the Seahawks, as the Salve Regina University football team rallied back to defeat Union College by a score of 17-14 in their season opener on Saturday afternoon at Frank Bailey Field. This marks the second time in as many meetings that the Seahawks have topped the Dutchmen on a fourth quarter field goal by a freshman kicker, receiving a 49-yard boot in the closing seconds of last year's opener.

Matthew Markese (West Hartford, Conn.) had three sacks, five tackles for a loss, and 11 total tackles for the Seahawks. Steven Wilken (Ringwood, N.J.) was 13 for 22 for 154 yards with no interceptions and a touchdown, and had a team high 47 yards rushing. Paul Panarelli (Shrewsbury, Mass.) had 62 yards on two receptions. The Salve Regina defense posted five sacks.

Union was led by Noah Joseph, who recorded a game high 17 tackles, including two for losses. Brian Dailey and Jake Lebowitz had nine tackles each for the Dutchmen. Connor Eck was 10 for 22 in the first varsity game of his career, and also passed for a touchdown with 172 yards. Eck also led the Dutchmen on the ground with 41 rushing yards.

Salve Regina had 92 rushing yards but held the Dutchmen to 126. Union had 340 yards in total offense while the Seahawks recorded 246 yards in offense.

The Seahawks opened the scoring just 2:36 into the contest. Phil Terio (Trumbull, Conn.) intercepted a pass from starting quarterback Nick Becker from the Union 31, and raced down the left sideline into the endzone for a 6-0 Salve Regina lead. The kick failed.

The teams were both held scoreless in the second quarter. In fact, neither team reached the redzone in a total of six drives in the quarter.

The Dutchmen took their first lead of the season in the third period. On a third-and-11 from the Union 33, Eck found Jimmer Bennett who took off for a 67 yard touchdown catch with 9:39 left to tie the contest, and Tosin Kazeem nailed the extra point for a 7-6 home advantage. The score capped a three play, 66-yard drive that consumed 1:43.

Two drives later, Union started from the 32. Eck hit Bennett for 21 yards to keep the drive alive on a third-and-17 play from the Union 25. Eck also rushed to the 50 on a third-and-6 minutes later. On the 12th play of the 68-yard drive (that took 6:30), Darnell Thomas rushed for six yards for the touchdown and the kick made it 14-6 Union with 27 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

But after the kickoff, Salve Regina pulled closer with a four-play, 68-yard drive in 1:17. Patrick Keenan (North Smithfield, R.I.) caught a 15-yard touchdown pass from Wilken just 51 seconds into the fourth quarter and Trey Scales (Boston, Mass.) rushed to the left of the end zone for the two-point conversion and a 14-14 tie.

After the Salve defense held Union to four downs on the next drive, the Seahawks took over at the Union 38 with 12:26 left. Six plays later on a fourth-and-5, Clark booted the field goal for the eventual final score, 17-14.

Union returns home next Saturday, September 8, to host Utica in another non-league game at 7 p.m. Salve Regina will host Montclair State in the team's home opener on September 8 at 12 p.m.

JiWire’s Second Mobile Audience Insights Report

Gail Chiasson, North American Editor

A new study from San Francisco-based JiWire notes a 75% increase in mobile phones using premium Wi-Fi locations, and that 81% of business travelers spend over 30 minutes online in airports

JiWire, the mobile audience media company reaching over 20 million unique users per month across its Wi-Fi media channel, released its second Mobile Audience Insights Report with new information on Wi-Fi usage trends for Q3 2009. The report also includes findings from a survey among Wi-Fi customers in airports across the U.S., helping advertisers understand this unique segment of the on-the-go audience that largely consists of affluent business decision makers.

The study found that airport business travelers are connecting via Wi-Fi for a significant amount of time online while waiting for their flight Not only do 81% spend over 30 minutes online, but 32% spend over an hour online.

Among the 72% of the airport audience comprised of business travelers with highly desirable demographics:

  • 50% travel at least once a month;
  • Over half hold an executive or management position;
  • Over half have annual household incomes of over $100,000;
  • And 75% of all airport Wi-Fi customers plan to make a big-ticket purchase in the next 12 months.

“Business travelers are a highly coveted audience for both business and consumer-oriented advertisers due to their purchasing power, but are traditionally very difficult to reach,” says David Staas, JiWire’s senior vice-president marketing. “Our latest Insights report provides more in-depth information for marketers about this nationwide audience, as well as highlighting global trends as Wi-Fi continues to become the preferred method for on-the-go connectivity.”

Noting recently that Google has apparently increased its interest in mobile use in airports by offering free WiFi access at 47 airports for the rest of the year, we asked JiWire management its thoughts on this apparent new encroachment on its own offerings.

“We’re thrilled with the increased level of interest major advertisers are showing in leveraging Wi-Fi to reach on-the-go audiences,” says Staas. “Since we launched this innovative program earlier this year, we continue to run numerous Ads for Access campaigns with major brands. Advertisers clearly like the opportunity to engage a unique audience with a great value exchange between the consumer and the brand, in effect transforming advertising into a form of currency.

“In addition, this level of activity reinforces how important Wi-Fi is becoming to people’s everyday lives – as they spend more time on the go, as their need to stay connected increases, as more Wi-Fi enabled mobile devices enter the market, and as the convenience and speed of Wi-Fi becomes even more ubiquitous.” (Ed. Note: We’re not quite sure from this that JiWire is ‘thrilled’, nevertheless. We did note that JiWire now offers free WiFi access in hotels and airports to Google-rival Bing – see separate article – and it appears that JiWire/Bing made the first move.)

JiWire’s study showed that, continuing the trend seen in the first half of the year, the use of mobile devices to connect to Wi-Fi locations grew 75% from Q3, with the top mobile devices iPhone and iPod Touch combing to make up about 95% of mobile ad requests. Devices built on the Android operating system emerged in the number four spot, while the Palm Pre continued to see growth and remained ranked at number five, similar to last quarter. Number 3 was Sony PSP, a game devce.

The report also shows the overall number of public Wi-Fi locations is growing rapidly, with 18.8% year-to-date expansion in worldwide public Wi-Fi hotspot locations. In the last five years, the number of Wi-Fi locations has grown by 425%.

In addition to growth in locations, people are using Wi-Fi on an increasing basis, with visits to US locations increasing 11.4% percent quarter over quarter. Hotels continue to have the largest amount of Wi-Fi visits with 65.5% market share, while airports were the quickest growing venue in Q3 2009, with visits up 23.2% over last quarter.

JiWire’s new Report is based on data from approximately 280,000 public Wi-Fi hotspot locations, as well as surveying 2,644 customers randomly selected in over 80 airport locations across the US that used JiWire’s Wi-Fi Media Channel in between June and July 2009. In addition, JiWire serves advertisements to over 30,000 pubic Wi-Fi hotspots in North America and records data from every ad request.

The Mobile Audience Insight Report is available for download on JiWire’s Website at www.jiwire.com.

One Response to “JiWire’s Second Mobile Audience Insights Report”

  1. Steve Gurley Says:

    Don’t forget the implications of this on digital signage. The increase in WiFi utilization is all a part of the new mobile revolution, which will have a profound impact on digital signage. As the foundations for mobile marketing improve, e.g. better devices, more ubiquitous broadband access, more mobile commerce, more robust ap’s, etc., the competition for ad dollars will increase dramatically. Remember, with mobile technologies, you can increasingly measure and report when, where, and how people interact with an ad.

We’ve seen GoPro videos attached to eagles and rams, offering an entirely new perspective of the world around us. But the latest video to take our breath away was shot entirely by accident.

Brad Coder attached a GoPro camera to his surfboard last Tuesday as he made his way through the waters of El Porto Beach, Calif. He was filming a music video for his latest single in the Santa Monica Bay when he decided to kick back with a barbecue grill, part of the setup for the song.

It wasn’t until until he viewed the footage later that he noticed that a great white shark had been following his progress through the waters with fellow surfer, Jack La Padura.

“I was in the water swimming with a Great White while having a BBQ on my Surfboard,” he commented. “Now that is some Shit!!”

Little is known about the migration patterns of great whites, but as technology advances they’ve been spotted with increasing frequency swimming near humans in recent years. In January, another oblivious swimmer caught a great white lurking under his boat at a New York beach.

The research institute Ocearch has a Shark Tracker that attempts to monitor shark locations, but shark-tagging is rare, and often swimmers have no idea how close they are to the world’s largest predator until the danger is over—one way or another.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, Coder and La Padura weren’t the only ones to encounter sharks near El Porto. The day after their encounter, surfer Mike Durand of the surfcam website Swell Magnet went kayaking to see if he could spot some sharks—only to have two swim directly under him. A shaken Durand noted, “It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye. (Or leg.)”

In July, El Porto Beach was briefly closed after helicopters spotted sharks swimming just 15 feet away from people in the ocean. We sense a pattern emerging. Perhaps El Porto authorities might want to figure out whether their local swimmers are particularly oblivious, or their local sharks just really affectionate.

Or maybe there’s just something in the water.

Biker attaches GoPro camera to angry ram, gets pummeled
Attaching a GoPro camera to dogs, sea turtles, and even bald eagles has provided humans with thrilling glimpses of the world as animals experience it. But now, thanks to an intrepid dirt biker, we can add a seriously pissed-off ram to the list of natural wonders who have shared their unique perspective with us.

Vacation spots for children with special needs

In the past, many families with special-needs children may have skipped vacations to theme parks, hotels and adventure spots because they didn’t feel comfortable with the facilities and services. But today, there are many more options. Thanks to the Americans With Disabilities Act passed in 1990, many vacation destinations around the country are making summertime trips accessible and just as fun for kids with special needs.

Although the following attractions, among many others, provide exceptional facilities and services for children with special needs, it’s very important for families to prepare, call ahead and have a system in place before they arrive.

Disney World in Orlando and Disneyland in Anaheim, Calif., extend the same impressive level of hospitality and services to children with special needs as they do every other guest. Guides for guests with disabilities and park guide maps are especially helpful to ensure that individuals with special needs enjoy a magical visit. Those with documented medical issues can receive a pass to skip the lines at rides.

Many Disney attractions, restaurants, shops and shows are accessible to all guests. In some cases, guests may need to transfer from their wheelchairs onto an attraction vehicle.

Individuals with disabilities get prime seats (first-come, first-served) on all parade routes, and some show areas have designated viewing places for guests with disabilities. Many of the transportation systems at the Disney parks are accessible to guests with disabilities.

Guests with visual disabilities may choose a Braille guidebook or an audio tour of the parks. For guests with hearing disabilities, listening devices are available at various locations. Some attractions offer reflective and video captioning, or have scripts available. Service animals are permitted in the parks; where the animals can go is different within the various parks.

Universal Orlando, home of Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure and the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, allows guests with special needs to experience a world of wonder. To make guests visits’ enjoyable, the parks offer guidebooks for individuals with disabilities. The park will also offer a medical pass for cerain individuals who cannot wait in lines.

All shopping and dining facilities are wheelchair-accessible. Outdoor stage shows have areas reserved for guests with disabilities. Each attraction has specific boarding requirements and accommodations for those using wheelchairs. If a guest is capable of transferring to the ride vehicle’s seating, he or she may transfer. On some attractions, guests can even remain in their standard wheelchair throughout.

Additionally, the parks offer regularly scheduled interpreted performances, as well as closed captioning, assistive listening devices and attraction scripts. TTY telephones are available throughout the parks. For guests who are deaf or hard of hearing, Telecommunication Devices for the Deaf (TDDs) are located at the Guest Services Office and Health Services.

Service animals are welcome in all restaurant and merchandise locations, attraction queues and most other locations throughout Universal Orlando.

At LEGOLAND California in Carlsbad and LEGOLAND Florida in Winter Haven, all shops, restaurants, show venues and the majority of rides and attractions are ADA accessible. The park also provides special accommodations for individuals with hearing disabilities — it’s necessary for those with hearing disabilities to contact Guest Services two weeks prior to visiting at 760-918-LEGO to ensure the accommodations.

Morgan’s Wonderland in San Antonio, Texas, is the world’s first ultra-accessible family fun park. The 25-acre park was designed specially for children and adults with special needs, their family members, caregivers, friends and the entire community. People of all abilities can play, learn and share in a fun and safe environment. From the Wonderland Express Train ride, which pulls multiple cars with two specially designed wheelchair-accessible ramps, to the one-of-a-kind carousel featuring wheelchair chariots, rides and attractions allow everyone to join in the fun. Admission is free for individuals with special needs. Reservations are recommended. 210-495-5888,

Give Kids the World in Kissimmee is a 70-acre resort complete with more than 140 villa accommodations, entertainment attractions, whimsical venues and fun specifically designed for children with special needs. It’s open to children between the ages of 3 and 18 who have been diagnosed by a licensed doctor with a life-threatening illness. Children and their families visit the resort for a weeklong vacation free of charge: Those wanting to attend should contact one of more than 250 wish-granting organizations and children’s hospitals throughout the country that partner with Give Kids the World. 407-396-1114,

At Camp Boggy Creek in Eustis, seriously ill children with special needs and their families can enjoy a fun-filled getaway. Weeklong summer sessions for the children and family retreat weekends for the whole family are provided free of charge. 352-483-4200,

Twenty percent of the population has a disability, and one in five families in touched. These families no longer have to avoid going on vacation in fear of there not being enough facilities or services for their special needs children. From theme parks to camps, children’s attractions are hearing the concerns of these families and ensuring that kids with special needs can have a fun-filled summer vacation.

Andrew J. Garnett is the president and CEO of Special Needs Group, 302 NW First St., Dania Beach. Go to or call 800-513-4515 for more information.

As Apple Shares Fall, Lcahn Buys Another $500 Million

Hedge fund billionaire Carl Icahn said he bought another half a billion dollars’ worth of Apple Inc stock on Tuesday, signaling confidence in the iPhone maker even after it gave a disappointing revenue forecast for the current quarter.Investor Carl Icahn speaks

The investment, Icahn’s third in Apple in less than a week, boosts the value of stake in the company to more than $4 billion. It was announced via his Twitter account as Apple’s shares traded down about 8 percent following its quarterly report late on Monday, which renewed Wall Street’s concerns about the maturing smartphone market.

Icahn told Reuters in a telephone interview that the decline in Apple shares presented “a great opportunity” to add to his position.

“Apple shares are very cheap. They are going at six to seven times earning,” Icahn said. “It’s not like we are holding something that is trading at 100 times earnings.”

Icahn has provided a blow-by-blow account on Twitter of every new investment he’s made in Apple since Wednesday, when he disclosed a $500 million purchase that took his position to $3 billion. He did so again on Thursday.

On Tuesday, he tweeted: “Just bought $500 million more $AAPL shares. My buying seems to be going neck-and-neck with Apple’s buyback program, but hope they win that race.”

Icahn is waging a public campaign to get Apple to return more cash to shareholders and has filed a resolution proposing that it give back $50 billion more through share buybacks.

Apple’s management “seems to be doing the right thing in running the business but this is a financial issue,” Icahn told Reuters, arguing that the company should increase its share buyback program.

Apple, for its part, argues it already has one of the industry’s largest capital-return programs in place. It said on Monday it had returned $7.7 billion in cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases during the December quarter, bringing cumulative payments to over $43 billion, out of a total plan to dole out $100 billion.

Beyond the share buyback program, Icahn said he believes investors are underestimating Apple Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook’s message that the company will come out with products in entirely new categories this year.

“I think it will be huger than people think,” Icahn said. “They haven’t done this in four years and the last one they did was something called the iPad. And let’s not forget that Apple has a huge cult following.”

After Icahn’s tweet, Apple shares were still down roughly 7.65 percent at $508.55 a share.

At least 14 brokerages lowered their price targets on Apple following Monday’s results report, reflecting concerns that it was becoming harder to sell high-end phones as markets get saturated.

While Apple sold a record 51 million iPhones in the quarter ended December 28, that fell short of the 55 million expected by Wall Street.

Analysts on Tuesday attributed some of this shortfall to the pricing of the iPhone 5C. Apple’s low-cost alternative to its iPhone 5S was unable to grab market share from cheaper rivals using Google Inc’s GOOG.O Android software, they said.

Did Climate Change Create Texas' Hellacious 2011 Summer, Or Just Make It Worse?

Did Climate Change Create Texas' Hellacious 2011 Summer, Or Just Make It Worse?
Photo by Brandon Thibodeaux

Texas's pasture-desiccating, road-warping devil heat last summer has earned a spot alongside hot spells in Moscow (2010) and France (2003) as one of the wild outliers of a climate pushed to extremes.

A study from the NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies and the Columbia Earth Institute say global warming has loaded the climate dice. Smart money is on temperature anomalies. Compared with the years for which we have the most information (1951-1980), the data are striking.

The heat we saw last summer has almost no antecedent, the study says. Forty or 50 years ago, you might have seen anomalies like that over a few 10ths of 1 percent of Earth. In the last few years, 10 percent of land areas experienced summer anomalies. "The increased frequency of these extreme anomalies, by more than an order of magnitude, implies that we can say with a high degree of confidence that events such as the extreme summer heat in the Moscow region in 2010 and Texas in 2011 were a consequence of global warming," writes Dr. James Hansen of NASA.

A business-as-usual approach to fossil fuels over the next 50 years, Hansen warns, will guarantee that our record-busting summer becomes commonplace. But it's in the interplay between weather and climate that we must be careful in how we interpret the driest, hottest year we've ever seen, state climatologist John Nielsen-Gammon tells Unfair Park.

"I don't think [the study's data] should be applied to events," Nielsen-Gammon says. "But I think it's fair to interpret it as the overall chances of extreme weather increasing over time."

Without getting too far into the climatological weeds, last summer was five standard deviations above normal. But climate change can only account for some of that increase. Either way, last summer was going to be bad. Nielsen-Gammon says climate change threw an extra log on the fire and turned the state into hell on Earth.

La Niña would have knee-capped the cattle industry with drought, but it was the extreme heat that burned pastures. Weather and climate, in that regard, are difficult to separate. "Places experiencing an extended period of high atmospheric pressure develop dry conditions, which we would expect to be amplified by global warming and by ubiquitous surface heating due to elevated greenhouse gas amounts," Hansen writes.

It works the other way too. The amount of moisture the atmosphere can hold increases alongside temperature. I saw this firsthand during what some believe was a 1,000-year flood in Nashville, Tennessee, in 2010. Rainfall doubled previous records. At one point an entire house was seen floating past a tractor-trailer.

Perhaps the most interesting takeaway from the study is this: Weather variability has always made climate change a difficult thing for the layperson to detect. Problem is, we've never really understood what to look for. But if you're a Texan who was alive from the '50s to the '80s and beyond, whether you know it or not, you watched the Holocene epoch end.

The Old-School Dessert Plate is Alive, if Not Well, At Taverna

The Old-School Dessert Plate is Alive, if Not Well, At Taverna

Behold! Dessert Plate! I first met you back in high school, where I thanklessly waited tables at a seafood-meets-steak house on the Chesapeake Bay. There, in the walk-in fridge, you sat perched at the ready, covered in cellophane and prepared to advertize your glorious bounty to diners already stuffed with cheap steak and cheese biscuits.

Is that a German chocolate cake I see? Indeed it is! Look how you lean after hours of duty. Slumped from the exhaustion of tirelessly hawking your subtle sweetness all afternoon -- or did you work last evening too? Perhaps your posture is a gesture, so I might better see the soggy tiramisu hiding in your shadow. He deserves attention too.

Or flourless chocolate cake! Impressive. Between a burnt creme brulee and a stiff strawberry panna cotta you wait, ready to release your molten goo when liberated by the tines of my fork. I won't tell anyone you're nothing more than undercooked brownie batter. Your secret is safe with me.

You harken another era, Taverna dessert tray. One where broiled fish and a vegetable medley of squash and carrots could be dressed up with a garnish of curly leaf parsley and a lemon slice. Where polyester bow ties marked uniform of choice for a discerning wait staff and smoking was allowed at the bar.

Surely there's a better way to advertize dessert offerings -- on a printed menu with delicious descriptions, or teased out by a server with colorful and salacious verbiage delivered at each table after entrees are cleared. Anything would be better than you, a tired-looking tray of desserts plated hours ago. The practice stopped at nearly every other respectable restaurant. And, as difficult as this is to say, after delivering such a wonderful brunch, it should probably stop at Taverna, too.

Danbury Fish & Game Association

Danbury Fish & Game Association - Our History: 1912-2016

Founded in 1912 as the Western Connecticut Fish & Game Protective Association, and renamed the Danbury Fish and Game Association in 1950, we are the oldest Fish and Game Club in the State of Connecticut (incorporated as such with the State of Connecticut in 1955).

In 1998, we were able to secure a 25 year lease with the City of Danbury for our current location on Hayestown Road, across from the beautiful Candlewood Park on the south shores of Candlewood Lake. The original building housed the Town Constable, which had been vacant for a number of years.

The Club members put together their own resources to make it into the fine building it is today. Today, we are a structured 501C3 non-profit corporation with by-laws, committees, and an annual election of officers. Most of our members are business owners in the Danbury area and we donate our time and funds to local charitable causes.

Anderson Cooper Makes Marvel Comics Debut

Quiogue’s Anderson Cooper will be appearing in an issue of Marvel Comics’ Black Widow, written by Nathan Edmondson and drawn by Phil Noto.

In Black Widow #12, Cooper runs a story on CNN about the titular heroine, exposing her past as a Soviet assassin. When Cooper’s story airs, the Black Widow’s world is turned upside-down, likely putting her and her loved ones in danger.

While Cooper’s actions cause trouble for Natasha Romanoff, Edmondson notes that Cooper’s by no means a villain. “It’s Anderson doing what he does best: looking for the truth and reporting on events,” Edmondson says on “We imagine that in Black Widow’s world, as would be the case with many other Avengers, things she does can’t be ignored by the media and all it takes is somebody who knows how to ask the right questions to make her world very uncomfortable for her but in a way that is perhaps not unjust.”

Amagansett’s Scarlett Johansson plays the role of Black Widow (aka Natasha Romanoff) in several Marvel Studios films, including Iron Man 2, The Avengers, Captain America: The Winter Soldier and the upcoming The Avengers: Age of Ultron.

Look for Black Widow #12 to hit stores in November.

  4. For Paulina
  5. The Harvest

More about this session

Words by Sean Moeller, Illustration by Johnnie Cluney, Recording engineered by Matt Oliver, Mastered by Sam Patlove

Teen Daze hides his songs sometimes. They get written, recorded and performed as slick dance music feels like great music to back a buzz. You're halfway off and into a night and you start hearing about feelings and stuff, but it's not there to distract you too much. It's just there to help you get a little more buzz and to loosen up the tongue, start making that night work for you, not against you. It's always felt great to let yourself go, to just not care too much about what's going to be happening next. It's fine to just be carried away on the waves and the music on "Four More Years" and a couple other short run, self-releases that the Vancouver, British Columbia musician has put out have no problem putting you there. Often, the vocals are the aspects you're going to hear the least and it's the intention, but right inside those fading sun songs are second fading suns and parts to the songs that should be focused on a little more. You find yourself losing track of how old you are and where you are in your own lives when you dig into the lyrics, which are front and center in these rare and special versions, recorded here as plain guitar and piano ballads, when he was passing through Austin in December. You hear these songs as the rapid advancement of time, running over a person who can't begin to consider this happening to him yet. It's about leaving when the last thing that he remembers doing is arriving and unpacking his bags. There's a depressing, but thrilling and understandable urgency to these songs of graying days. People are moving on and things are not going to remain as they once were for very much longer. There seems to be a central character in these songs who is reluctant to embrace this course of nature though. It's as if everything's just being done to the character, without him having any ability to affect too much. It gives you this feeling of uncomfortable calm that still sounds like it's somewhat blessed and all the way golden - as if there are certainly worse things happening to people right know. "The Harvest" is a song that starts with a line about the logs being stacked up, ready for the winter needs, but the logs could just as easily be replaced with deck chairs and it could be a companion piece to "Gone For The Summer," with the general sentiment one of proceeding, of getting on with something because there's no way around it. A man is about to board a bus on "The Harvest," to get out of town, and you can just picture that character as someone who forgot to bring anything to read on that endlessly long ride through some dead land, thinking silently and talking to no one for hours on end, trying to put it all together, trying to figure out where he'll be when he actually gets off the bus, even when he technically will know precisely where he is. It's the way this daze works.

Corinne Day: May the Circle Remain Unbroken

Day's husband Mark Szaszy reveals personal memories of the fearless photographer

Pin It
Dazed & Confused corinne day
Corinne Sitting on Orange SofaPhotography by Corinne Day, taken from "May the Circle Remain Unbroken"

In her early work, Corinne Day candidly documented the private codes and rituals of those around her. Often using her Soho flat (above the former Dazed office in Brewer St) as a backdrop, she shot struggling models sprawled out on her sofa and friends in hazy comedowns. These photos, taken between 1987 and 1996, reveal both the counterculture spirit of post-rave 90s youth and the darker side of the fashion world, and are now being celebrated in May the Circle Remain Unbroken, an exhibition and book by Day’s husband, Mark Szaszy, and her friend and muse Tara St Hill.

It’s now just over three years since her death. For Szaszy, going through her archive has been difficult. “There were times when Tara and I would both be struck down by a wave of sadness and we had to get up and walk away,” he says. Here, Szaszy shares personal memories of three early works.

Mark Szaszy: This is Corinne’s beloved grandmother on her 90th birthday. The thing about old age is the complete and total loss of all inhibitions. Now, doesn’t that sound like the perfect demeanour for anyone, model or artist?

Mark Szaszy: This photograph reminds me of elephants. I can see them whizzing around, ears flapping with the cool rush of air, all laughing and hooting, spiralling down to a slow grinding halt and unbuckling. Then shakily wandering off for chips and a hotdog. Sorry, I couldn’t resist that! It’s the sort of humour I loved to share with Corinne, who knew not to take things too seriously, especially with fashion.

Mark Szaszy: I remember walking into the living room one day to find Corinne sitting on the sofa in her knickers covered in feathers. Not many words were exchanged, just funny looks and the occasional sneeze. She had a twinkle in her eye as she rubbed her nose and I was just happy to be filled with the joyful wonder of her strange and beautiful ways.

October 15–November 23, May the Circle Remain Unbroken, Gimpel Fils Gallery, London. The accompanying book is published next month by Aron Morel.

    Creating Oracle8i database from datafiles

    I am looking to create a local copy of an Oracle 8i database from existing datafiles.

    The original database was Oracle 8.1.7 on Solaris and I have installed Oracle 8.1.7 on our local Solaris server. A cold backup of the original database was performed and the datafiles (*.dbf) then copied to the local server.

    How do I use the datafiles to create a local database instance? Being a novice DBA, I am unsure as to whether create a new database and associate the datafiles with it; create a new database using the datafiles; use RMAN etc.

    Advice on the correct approach and how to go about it much appreciated.

    over the hill and through the woods
    go back to the orginal database and backup the controlfile to trace.
    then take that file over to your new database, edit it to what you want..database name, file placements, bla bla bla. then crank the database up using that backed up controlfile that you copied over and edited. Too easy :P
    Oracle it's not just a database it's a lifestyle!
    BTW....You need to get a girlfriend who's last name isn't .jpg
